United States Colonial Marines

Its been 3 years since I started this project. Still don't really have anything to show for it. But I'm happy with what I have so far and want to share my work.

Content in the pack:

• M41a Pulse Rifle
  
• VP70 pistol WIP (Texture needs a lot of TLC, no RVmats, no Shadow LoD)
  
• M5 RPG WIP (Texture needs a lot of TLC, no RVmats)
  
• 
  
• Helmet WIP (Texture needs a lot of TLC, Normal map needs work, Mic needs to be UV mapped)
  
• Marine retexture (Placeholder)
  

Content on the backburner:

Equipment:

• Armor (Regular armor plating, Smartgunner breast plate)
  
  
• Motion Tracker (If possible. I'll probably have to outsource for this one)
  
  
• Uniforms (Long sleeve, Rolled Sleeves, T shirt, Pilot jumpsuit, officer)
  
  
• Other goodies

Known issues:

• Error Popup regarding "No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/UniformSlotInfo.scope'."

Special thanks to everyone for the help that I've gotten over the past few years. :D

Good to see you're back from your (mis)adventures, and back to ArmA modding!

Reference your motion tracker concept: Perhaps you could speak to Shack-Tac about their HUD thingy and see if you can work out how to do it from that? :)

[b00ce 160]

It should work. I don't see where I can "enable" it.

It was fun. lol

And I want to have the MT stuff displayed on the tracker itself.

The download for this file has not been enabled. Only the user who uploaded it, can enable the download option.

[b00ce 160]

I'm not seeing an option. However, it has been downloaded twice so far...

[Divinitize 1]

can you upload to another website

[b00ce 160]

Ok, fixed it.

Nice work, im also really interested in the flamethrower, ive modelled one myself but dont know where to begin making it actually shoot fire

[b00ce 160]

I know I44 has a flamethrower. I'll have to ask how they do it once I have something presentable

Vilas also made one as part of the update to his old Colonial Marines pack a few months back. :)

Also B00ce, might be worth having a look at a early ArmA 3 helmet cam mod thing that was doing the rounds a month or two ago :)

[b00ce 160]

looks interesting. Maybe I could have a memory point on the helmet where the camera is. Maybe this way I can have the little flip down FLIR eye piece.

[TFM_Callas 1]

Need some better pictures. The photobucket link doesn't work for me.

[b00ce 160]

Fixed. Buggered up the url.

Good man. Right so I was going to ask, are there going to be any heavy vests or anything along those lines. They look a bit puny without them. Maybe a smooth vest with a sci-fi look?

Like these

Edit: I am blind. LOL I see you already are.

Thanks for informing us about the release :cool:

Release frontpaged on the Armaholic homepage.

United States Colonial Marines [ALPHA] v0.01

[kahna 13]

Very nice, my unit was just talking offhand about wanting to try out pulse rifles in the game. Can you list the class names so we can equip the weapons in the initialization? I'm interested in making a zombie survival mission with this weapon. I've tried all of the obvious variants of the M41A, nadda.

Also, the VP70 and the M5 RPG are not showing up in the Virtual Ammo Box (the ammo is however) and I don't see any weapon box for your weapons in the editor?

[b00ce 160]

"CM_M41a"

"CM_VP70"

"CM_M5_RPG"

"CM_M5_HE", "CM_M5_HEAT"

"95Rnd_PulseRifle", "4Rnd_M38_HE", "4Rnd_M60_SMK", "4Rnd_M60_SMK_Red", "4Rnd_M60_SMK_Green", "4Rnd_M108_Shot", "4Rnd_M72_White", "4Rnd_M72_Red", "4Rnd_M72_Green"

"21Rnd_VP70"

The ammo boxes are in the ammo section at the very bottom with USCM in the beginning of the name.

[goose4291 11]

Although the game itself was a monstrosity, are you considering adding any of the kit featured in Aliens: Colonial Marines?

[b00ce 160]

Maybe some of the armor the Weyland mercs had, I thought it looked cool and fit within the whole Aliens theme. I don't plan on making the uber high-speed battle rifles and schtuff; to be honest, they look dumb.

However, I just bought FarCry3 last night...

[goose4291 11]

Fair points well made. I guess the scripting to allow the APC to be loaded into the Dropship is still good to go?

Hope it was the Blood Dragon version.

Nice work on the USCM stuff so far, I get to use a more authentic Pulse Rifle thanks to you. :)

Some of the USMC stuff in ACM are stuff from the tech manual which is pretty cool, like the M4A3

[Dusty926 1]

This is an awesome mod. I wish you good luck on it.

[Boogzor 1]

Looks cool, good job.
