New soldier addons?

[miles teg 1]

One thing that just dawned on me is that the only completely new soldiers or civilian models that I've seen are the ones that Adammo made like the FBI addon with the droids and that Sci-Fi chick with the knife. Those were really high quality addons. But how come nobody else has made anything like that? For example why has no one made a Nazi soldier addon with a realistic looking Nazi helmet? Another good soldier addon would be a U.S. Army or U.S. Marine Drill Sgt. addon. How about more civilians? How about sailors for ships? How about soldiers in Class A dress uniforms?

How about police officers (wearing a regular police uniform and pistol belt with a pistol, cuffs, nightstick, pepper spray, radio,ect...)???

There are tons of soldier/civilian units that could be made. With the new pistol addon in Resistance I imagine that something like a NYPD or LAPD police officer addon would definitely be possible.

Has anyone thought of doing this?

Maybe you should just look around and see all the new soldiers that actually have been made. A good place to start would be:

There is also some nice units at

And players from many countries around the world are modelling their armies own uniforms. The Danish Army (which is where I served) is modeled here:

Yes I have looked around and I have most of those addons. However NONE of them are completely new soldiers. You missed my point. My point being that all of the current soldier addons are simply retextured units. The only cool ones are the ones that have streteched out the backpacks to make them larger like that U.S. Marines addon which features two types of rucksacks and also a radio for the radioman. But other then that and the drivers with the goggles over their eyes, they look like retextured units.

What I am talking about are completely new models. If you haven't done so, check out Adammo's (aka Capt. Moore) FBI unit addon or his Star Wars droids. Those are entirely new and not just slightly modified or retextured versions of the ones that BIS made.

Certainly in the case of many NATO units, a new model is not needed since they use many of the same equipment as U.S. soldiers and thus, a simple uniform retexturing is all that is needed. But there are a few that could use a new model.

That is why I made that list of new models that could be made. In addition something like a HALO jumper would be very nice. In my HALO mission I currently use a pilot to simulate them, but it sure would be nice to have a proper HALO soldier with an oxygen mask...pilots with an oxygen mask over their face would be nice as well. Also civilian paramedics, and scientists could be made. But I mainly would like to see some police addons. The only I've seen is that Italian one for the G8 mod but it looks more like a policeman in riot gear. I was thinking more of a regular U.S. policeman or state trooper.

Currently there is NOTHING like that right now.

Forgot to mention - you ask for WW2 German soldiers - that has also been made. - I don't remember where I saw them though..

I think you missed his point bahrt, teg was saying most of the new units are retextures rather than new models.

I also would like to see some totally new infantry models (women, shorter/taller, body armour etc.)

Yeah I saw those from the Lost Brother team, but they haven't been released yet. Only screen shots so far.

Yes I know WWII German soldiers have been made but they are not new models. Just retextured American soldiers made to look like they are wearing German uniforms. There was ONE WWII unit mod that actually had new models (with German WWII soldiers wearing helmets that looked like the real thing), , but the guy working on it abandoned the project. If you've seen that addon pack released somewhere please post it. But I don't think anyone ever finished it. Even Marss911 never finished his German snow soldiers, made proper WWII Allied and Nazi helmets on his soldiers, or ever made proper WWII weapons that don't turn into AK's or M21's when you move more then a few feet away from them. Right now with most MOD groups (with the exception of The Lost Brothers team) the emphasis seems to be on vehicles. Also whatever happened to NATOsoldier? They haven't released any mods in ages. Did they even ever release an Oxygen made mod? I know Flipper had a ton of stuff in the works but he never released any of it except for that one non-Oxygen made sniper rifle.

No Predator UAV....no MH-60 Pavehawk. It pisses me off when MOD groups lucky enough to get Oxygen then just make addons for themselves that are never to be released to the public it seems.

WHY no Taliban/Al Qeada soldiers?? Someone make 'em, so far I've tried to use the Middle East resistance addons, but they don't look like Afghans, lol.

I use the UCE Kuffiya soldiers as terrorists in the Operation Anaconda mission I'm working on. I think they're the best Arab soldier addon that I've seen so far...although a Taliban model with the black turban, the baggy pants, and the little vests and stuff would be really cool.

Yeah, that's exactly what I meant - I'm using them, but I just reckon they could be improved to more 'evil' lengths.    - "Die, you scum!" Now all we need is some Arab voices and shouting Speaking of voices, is there any foreign voices available in the OFP community? Like, I'd really need some Finnish voices, etc...

Yeah but I seriously doubt any Arab OFP player is going to make any voice recordings for that purpose unless you use his voice in missions where the player goes and blows up Israeli soldiers or U.S. soldiers... I don't think many people here would make those types of missions. I know I wouldn't make a mission like that, or anything that would glorify terrorism or terrorists.

But there are little phrases of Arabic that you could learn and record yourself. Stuff like ALLAH AKBAR (God is Great) is what they often shout while fighting (or just whenever the feel like it). Or AMOOOOT!!! LOL! That's from Novalogic's Delta Force game... If I remember correctly it means something like "You're killing me!". Ask Avon Lady about that. She could probably give you a few good Arabic phrases or point you to a site that has some good ones.
