AV_IndUs (US Army inspired units)

[AlexVestin 24]

Just got to try it out, can't seem to add any attachments to the weapons, not even the standard BIS accessories.

Are you using any other mods that could be conflicting? What does, for an example, the m4 look like? Standard carryhandle only?

[banky 4]

Yeah, just carry handle. I have a ton of mods active, when i get home from work I'll start deactivating them and see if i can find a conflict.

[AlexVestin 24]

The rifles should be able to accept FHQ accessories and regular BIS ones when working correctly :)

Looks good! Going to try when I get home!

What's the map on the pics?

[AlexVestin 24]

It's from ArmA2:OA

You need AllInArma to launch it.

Here's the map:

(I was really surprised by how awesome the map is. The Armaholic screenshots really did it no justice. Like at all)

[minimalaco 30]

Love it!

I cant stand stratis anymore! Lol i only play AiA now. But i never seen this map b4. Gonna try it as soon as i get home today with your troops! :)

[AlexVestin 24]

I've been working more on the backpack textures (wich are horrible now) and they will get updated in the next run.

I also have a nice surprise for headgear, with the help of fellow community members, wich will get much better. More on it soon :)

I found the conflict for my attachments issue, everything works fine when i deactivate this mod: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?157688-MOD-1REV-French-foreign-legion-and-Belgian-units

[H0sTiLe 10]

looks awesome

you should make a "complete" conversion for arma 3 in an afghanistan setting and then add some taliban.

plus all the other things such as blackhawks, a-10's etc. (maybe also other nato forces)

---------

just another thing - how are you guys normally playing with mods like these ? - do you just find a random mission somewhere to play (on armaholic) or do you use it online somewhere ?

[AlexVestin 24]

Thank you :)

And that's were AllInArma comes in. As of now all of that is possible. Yet, new content is always better since it'll be 100% supported instead.

All that is missing are some resistance that would fit in with the setting instead of the iranians. Hopefully there'll be more normal looking civilians in A3 that could do the job with some gear added.

I'd guess closed gaming groups playing co-op missions together would be the most common. I haven't looked into addon keys so they work on a server or how that even works.

Noted. Not sure why that is, though. Maybe worth looking into in the future.

[Binkowski 25]

Love the progress on all of this Alex, can't wait for the new version ;).

[AlexVestin 24]

I can believe many of you downloading this are far from really enjoying the current rifle hand-animations.

That'll change soon, though!

I'm fixing the bad animations for the M4, M16A4 and Mk12 wich are suffering the most from it.

Basically all the rifles wich the character wasn't holding the grip on :)

[TFM_Callas 1]

As usual awesome job.

[Brain 12]

You rock, Alex!

[AlexVestin 24]

I think ya'll is gonna like this update :)

Big thanks to Johannes and Bikowski for a new helmet that I could make use of!

It's updated to 1.4:

-Added ACH helmets

-Officer texture slightly updated

-Better backpack textures

-More units now use M4's instead of M16A4's

-Fixed hand-animations for the M4, M16A4, Mk12

-Small update to the M4 family texture

-ArmA1 Interceptor vest for crewmen (Work In Progress)

[HitmanTwoActual 188]

Do you plan on possibly working with Bobman to see if you can include his weapons in this mod? Not that I don't like your weapons, but he is doing some really high quality M16 Variants, and I am sure you can work with him on figuring something out? Either way, love the mod, love the sounds, and I hope to see what you will come up with next.

[AlexVestin 24]

Can't say I don't want to do that. If he needs units to test them out, there's some fitting units right here.

I'd guess he will release his weapons as a standalone pack, though :)

When the next update comes (1.5) I'll include an M-ATV with the correct paintjob.

No armed version yet, because I say so. (I don't like the look of it)

[HitmanTwoActual 188]

Also, any ideas on maybe updating the Arma 2 Interceptor vest? The model would work, the textures would need to be touched up though.

[AlexVestin 24]

I'm asuming you mean the vest I added for the crew, wich is a ArmA1 vest.

As of now, it has no shadow LOD, and I think the rvmats are wrong, because its shadows are very dark.

Textures are just made "okay to look at" at the time. I've already made it higer-res, but haven't really changed the texture.

If you're actually talking about a ArmA2 vest, it'll be more difficult. As much as I'd want to, I can't really get the .p3d files for those :p

[instagoat 133]

Technically they should use the OITV. The current vest looks like a chinese model, as used by the Pakistani army, for example. Which makes sense for the AAF (talking about their Vest used in this mod) The Arma 1 vest was basically an Interceptor OTV, which was used proir to the introduction of the OITV. I believe there are four or five different versions of the Interceptor too. Wasn't there someone on Armaholic who was working on an OITV vest?

[AlexVestin 24]

Yeah, the ArmA1 vest is not that accurate. I am looking for a IOTV* to use. Or any kind of new vest for that matter. I'm accepting all the help I can get :D

Also. Here's a screenshot of the current WIP vest for the crewmen:

It's 'a bit' too long as of now, too I think.

[scrim 1]

Don't want to nag, but I think it's IOTV (Improved Outer Tactical Vest).

Addon's looking good, keep it up!
