ADF RE-TEXTURE - Revisioned & NOT %100 Authentic (keep in mind)

AUSTRALIAN DEFENSE FORCE AMP UNITS RELEASED - 15/03/2013

DOWNLOAD - ADF-AMP - Mediafire

amp_steyr.jpg amp_devbuild.jpg amp.jpg

I made a 4094x4094 camo from this image http://www.strikehold.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Australian-MultiCam.jpg which was a highly repetitive process. The camo isn't the exact same as the AMP deployed version, but seeing as this is a futuristic place I thought we could look beyond this limitation. With the help of the_antipop and Scarecrow389 I was able to get my hands on the correct patches and badges, so thx. This is my first mod release and I would appreciate any constructive feedback for future versions. I am hoping to get the above Steyr A3 or a Steyr EF-88/F90 in for the units at some later date. The DPDU unit will also be completed at sometime.

This version only has 1 Unit atm and this is mainly due to my lack of knowledge in coding the config.cpp

If you have the ability to create a working config with more unit classes, for the love of god get your sticky fingers into these units and make a world of awesome! Eventually I would like to add textures to the boony hats in ARMA 3 and other items, like the lighter variations of vests, uniforms and helmets to allow people to play dress-ups. :D Thanks.

BELOW THIS POINT - OLDER INFORMATION and OTHER UNITS BEING WORKED ON

UPDATED AMP v0.9 - CHANGED PATCHES FOR MORE AUTHENTICITY - Thanks to Scarecrow398 and the_antipop for their links to updated patches.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just updated to a new thread because this is no longer a mod for only DPDU but for more variants in progress and still to come. I apologise for any inconvenience.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Revisioned DPDU camo which is most likely outdated in the future due to the new Australian Multicam just released.

I plan to create an AMP camo as soon as I get/make a texture for it. '

Some people will most likely be concerned about the authenticity of the patches and so on, keep in mind this is a re-visioned unit based upon real world counterpart. However I would appreciate the information and repository of items that would make the uniform more authentic with Arma 3's default model limitations in mind.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AUS - DPDU

Anyway this is my first re-texture and I am having some issues with the config. My intention is to make it stand alone so that it doesn't replace any vests/helmets/uniforms of other units in the game. ATM its works to the point it replaces the textures for the Arma 3 blufor units wearing the same vest and helmet.

The helmet currently works in the Arma 3 Alpha Development version.

If anyone is able to give me a hand on making this standalone and not a replacement mod per se, please do :yay:

Once I get the config.cpp working properly this is all ready to go.

FYI, helmet flags are incorrectly orientated on the helmets, they're placed so they're viewed normally like on the shoulder, not the American way how the stars have to be to the front.

I've never seeing a patch worn upsidedown, or even on the back of someones plate carrier, the flags are also ussal IR flags.

And i think this is the patch you're looking for on the chest:

Also overseas, the ADF use combat shirts now, not barrack shirts like how you've textured, this one was issued for MTF-3 (The patch is in IR, its just the cameras flash, see second photo)

A few references:

1.This is what our lads are using overseas as their shirts.

As you can see the middle isn't textured, similar to the default ArmA 3 guys. (Note the way the flag is facing on the sleeve, same goes for the helmets)

**EDIT: I see Crow has posted that image above too

2. With what Scarecrow posted, here's a more up to date flag patch that is infact in AMP:

3. No one on operations uses the Blue Australian Flag. Here are some examples of what we wear:

Thankyou Scarecrow and antipop - I can't put the flag on the shoulders because of the mirror image problem, but I have made changes based on both of your advice.

I have some other stuff to do ATM but if you guys are happy with how they look or want to add patches in other locations do tell and I should have this packaged today.

Cheers again, Sbats.

Units are looking good.

Bit off-topic but what unit is this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/70454750/Untitled.png

I got that set of camo from the Aussie unit my unit RIP'd out of COP ADDER/TALIL AB in Iraq in '07-'08 for a pair of boots.

Can't remember what unit it is for the life of me.

Shirt for a pair of boots eh?

They're DPDU's (Disruptive Pattern Desert Uniform), judging by the cut (zip pockets by the looks of it?) and year i would say 4th generation, current issue uniform for desert enviroment, so they may be classed as a sensitive item, just a FYI.

Never seen that kind of patch before for a mascot, my guess would be its a Wallaby.
