Thanatos-san 7 Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) What is this mod? This mod is being created for clan purpose, which will be later incorporated into a tactical realism clan which will be called "San Fortuanto Defence Forces" with it's own custom island. However I predict that this will take a lot of time. This mod is based mostly on re-texturing and some minor changes, I am a sole creator of this mod and no one else is helping me out at this point in time. I do not take ANY CREDIT whatsoever for the models and I have asked for permission and received it from most it from most of people but still awaiting replies that is why and download for my mod won't be added without being given the permission from all mod authors. Until then I won't give a download link nor upload. This is a first time I have created an addon/mod and I'm trying to do it as neat as possible. I believe its expected there might be some bugs in the textures which I am trying to fix. What is Republic of San Fortuanto & San Fortuanto Defence Forces? San Fortuanto is a fictional country and the story of it is quite simple... Republic of San Fortuanto is an Italian speaking country, however it was occupied by the Soviet Union during the Second World War and re-gained its independence when the Warsaw Pact & Communism came to the end. San Fortuanto Defence Forces are mostly equipped with Eastern Mechanized Equipment but some Western Equipment is also present in the Defence Forces. More about SFDF below. Armoury? As written above the Defence Forces of San Fortuanto are mostly equipped with Eastern Mechanized Equipment but some Western Equipment is also presen. The Infantry Corps [sFIC] are equipped with FN FAL Battle Rifle and M1911 and a small amount of M16A2. The Government of San Fortuanto is attempting to add additional weaponary to its forces, yet it is awaiting suggestions from the Military Advisors. The Air Force [sFAF] is equipped with Mi-24s, Mi-8s and MIG-15s at the moment, these vehicles are left from the communism era and some were bought afterwards. The Armoured Cavalry Corps [sFACC] are awaiting their delivery of tanks, APCs and other wheeled vehicles at the moment they are equipped with M113 and GAZ Vodniks are awaiting delivery and the Whole Defence Forces are in process of modernization. Media Can I help? Of course! I would REALLY APPRECIATE having some kind of support, not only by helping to re-texture or make anything BUT EVEN giving me suggestions/ideas WHAT units to add such as what tank, plane, weapon and so on because its very hard for me to decide and your help will be appreciated. If you want to help me, a first time modder, feel free to do so!

PTV-Jobo 820 Posted January 28, 2012 Sounds interesting to say the least, mate. Never can have too many fictional countries and armies in the armaverse, all the endless US Army stuff gets a bit stale sometimes. Something new is always a welcome addition in my book! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thanatos-san 7 Posted January 28, 2012 Thank you, I am trying to do as best as I can but I get stuck on one thing that means Im stuck until this stuck thing is done, Working on your own on such a big thing will sure take months. But I wont give up so thank you for the "good luck" :] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
topas 1 Posted January 28, 2012 Hmm... Not entirely convinced that this phoenix decal from Pontiac is a good idea for an armed forces logo.. I mean, it's just too iconic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thanatos-san 7 Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) Hmm... Not entirely convinced that this phoenix decal from Pontiac is a good idea for an armed forces logo.. I mean, it's just too iconic. I didnt know if it is from "Pontiac" I simply found it on google under army tag and I thought it looks good... Cant expect much from a newbie tho I guess? Well if I would only have something nicer I would re-change every texture that has it... Edited January 28, 2012 by Norton Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
topas 1 Posted January 28, 2012 It surely is ;) It rather stands for several generations of US automotive legends (Firebirs/TransAm by Pontiac). My suggestion would be to inspire yourself by whatever comes up in google images after searching for 'airforce roundel'. Quite a nice variation, there's surely something to ignite the imagination and base your creativity upon. Plus, I'm pretty sure that the phoenix decal is a copyrighted thing ;) Nowadays it's better to be on the safe side :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure if accurate circles :-'| but well tell me is that way better for SFAC? [san Fortuanto Air Corps] Edited January 28, 2012 by Norton Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stupidwhitekid75 11 Posted January 28, 2012 I like that logo personally, don't think I've seen it anywhere else (in that color at least) and it reminds me of the RAF symbol. I had an idea, if you are planning on changing the units to CDF models anyways maybe you could create two different types, regular forces and reserve forces. Because of the countries name and that they are Italian speaking I figured they're probably somewhere between Spain and France, so they could receive a lot of their equipment from them. The regular force could be the most modernized using some kind of new camo a mix of western equipment like the G36 (newest) and G3 (oldest) for the main rifles, and possibly the MG36 or MG3 as the main support weapons. M240 could be heavy support gun. Vehicles could be the Leopard 2A4 or 2A6 as main battle tanks. There is a BRDM vehicle pack available on armaholic which has several variants that include western weapons (M2, M240, Mk19, TOW), maybe ask permission to use and retexture those as the primary transport vehicle (link: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=14943). So instead of completely upgrading to new western vehicles they still use old eastern ones that have just been modified. You could include the M113 as the main tracked vehicle as well. For aircraft you could include the Super Puma for transport and Tiger for attack, both of those models are in the Frenchpoint mod if they would allow you to use them. The reserve force could stick with AK-74's and PKM/RPK and older camouflage, with standard eastern equipment you'd expect like UAZ, Mi-8, T-55 and T-72.

Thanatos-san 7 Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) Just some update on M113A3, I made a Armored Corp's "icon" a blue and white wolf a brief story about it below the pictures Story about Blue & White Wolf: In ancient stories, blue and white wolf was seen by the first inhabitants of the San Fortuanto island, during a thunderstorm. Whilst the first inhabitants were occupied by search of a safe place to sleep for the night and soon after settle down. During the thunderstorm the inhabitants were attacked by wolfs. This was a total surprise to the inhabitants and soon everyone was rushing and panicking to save themselves from those hungry beasts which cornered them and the only thing that crossed their minds was death. However just as all hope was lost a blue and white wolf appeared out of the shadows to aid and save the inhabitants from certain death. The island soon became known for its big population of wolfs which eventually grew to be its national animal. Up to this day it is yet unknown or proven that such creature ever existed but the ancient people of San Fortuanto called it "Blu Dio" which in English means "Blue God", and was worshipped as the guardian of the island. As well stupidwhitekid75 remember that it is a post soviet country and not so rich one. Edited January 28, 2012 by Norton Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stupidwhitekid75 11 Posted January 28, 2012 Gotcha, I thought it more of one that was just modernizing its armed forces after gaining independence, didn't read so thoroughly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daman3 19 Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) The San Fortuanto Defence Forces are undergoing a transition from their old fashioned G3 to a costum AK74 built for them by Magpul. The reason they choose this over a normal AK74 is the ability to accept standart issue AK74 magazines and any accessoires from Red Dot sights to grenade launchers, thanks to the rail the gun has mounted at the barrel. Recruits still get trained on the G3 anyway. The enemies of the San Fortuanto Defence Forces are few. They take part in the UN Mission to protect the citizens of Utes and Chernarus. However, tensions with the inhabitants of the also spanish speaking Lingor are recently on the rise due to the political instability in that country. Thats one of the reason the army is currently on the build up. The mod is made with multiplayer in mind, this means that the configurations are made to BIS standards and there should be no screw ups (like overpowered weapons etc.) if you play with vanilla units against them.

ProfTournesol 956 Posted January 29, 2012 Well I just tried to change it to silver I have to say it kinda "kills the" flag and the country side, I don't think the HDR will kill anyone because of it :P Yep but it really seems to be glowing, it needs to be toned down a bit, desaturated to look somehow realistic (well, as if it was painted) :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thanatos-san 7 Posted January 29, 2012 Heres a recently made Magpul AK Aimpoint at the moment DaMan3 is working to fix the weapons as the accuracy seems to be a bit fucked up :P More coming soon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
