Disclaimer

This mod contains modified core content. I have written permission from BIS to include it and have been open and pro-active in ensuring I do the right thing. I have been given approval because I respected the rules and because the core content still requires other content (excluded from the mod) in order to work.

Its important though that people do not assume that because I have permission others can do the same without asking BIS themselves. I highly recommend anyone considering to do the same to contact BIS before starting any work.

Permissions

• People are free to use this mod (without modification) for any mission or campaign creation without needing to ask for my direct permission.
  I only ask that you credit me accordingly for my work.
  
• I DO NOT (and CANNOT) give permission for anyone to modify or copy any part of this mod in any shape or form.
  Please be respectful to both myself and Bohemia Interactive by refraining from making any attempt to do.
  This includes de-pboíng my mod and re-using any part of it.
  

Known Issues

• Wound textures for the 'Polo Shirt with Tactical Pants' uniform do not work.
  
• Wound textures for the combat uniforms (BLUFOR) no longer work now since ive used hiddenselectionmaterial to replace normal and specular map
  
• The earpiece model stretches a little weird when the character turns his head far to one side. Its as good as its going to get with my knowledge of weighting
  
• The shadow on the VIP Model is a little basic and you may see some shadow artefacts
  
• I spent the last month trying to solve a weird issue with the earpiece model which resulted in holes in the texture when I combined it with the sample cap model. In the end i solved it by using the nvgoggles slot. This actually worked out better because you can now wear it with any headgear. Night vision still works but you wont see the goggles when the earpiece is equipped

Change Log/Release Notes

Version 0.5 (first Release)

• First release is 0.5. That might be an odd number to start with but its reflective of the iterations I've gone through and the fact that its still not 100% complete.
  
• Random uniform, vest and headgear should be multiplayer compatible. I have tested and seemed to be working
  
• The mod's fully signed and includes bikey
  
• Does not currently include road vehicles.
  
• Units can be found under 'Independent>PG Services'
  

Version 0.6

• Added earpiece model (uses night vision goggles slot)
  
• Added VIP Client model
  
• Replaced the normal and specular map for uniforms using the BLUFOR uniform (to remove shiny patch and flag outline))
  
• Removed most of the hex edited models. Now only have the ones for the MX rifles since they still dont have camo selections
  
• Adjusted the capacity for all uniforms and vests to be in line with game vanilla versions
  
• Added faction icon
  
• Removed the class I created for the EBR with SOS scope since there is now one in game by default. Designated Marksman now uses the default in game class
  
• A few other minor config changes which wont be noticable to most people
  
• There may be other things I've done which are not listed here. Ive been working on this update on and off for the past few months so its possible ive forgotten a few things
  

Version 0.6.1

• Black MX rifles will now work with VAS (Note they still look the same as the standard mx in the VAS menu as I havent done custom icons)
  
• Fixed a missing icon error for underwear
  
• Removed a redundant ammo crate which wasnt working (there is still an ammo crate containing all weapons used in the mod, i forgot to mention in the last release)
  
• Fixed loadout issue which was still resulting in some units shouting "out of ammo"
  

Texture Templates

I've decided to upload the PSD files I used to create textures for this mod. You are free to edit and re-use them for whatever purposes you like.

• NATO Combat Uniform - Not suitable for beginners. It includes many layers which ive set up to make it easy for me to switch out colours easily. Please do not message me asking how to use it. If you need to ask its not for you

[DJankovic 401]

EDIT: For me it say that download it is set to private :( :( :(

[Tzar 10]

Huzzah been waiting for this! Link broken.

[Pomi Git 256]

Link should be fixed

[Binkowski 26]

Good work, much better than what BI did in ArmA2 (and they charged you for it).

[jeza 5416]

Fantastic stuff congrats mate, Aholic informed.

[akm74 1]

excellent job, congrats. We need PMC in A3, especially with this level of quality...

[[GLT] Legislator 66]

Congratulations! This mod looks beautiful!

[purepassion 22]

Absolutely excellent pomigit! As you know, I've been anticipating them very much :)

Congrats for the outstanding release

[RoadField 10]

Excelent :cool:

Just notice a little color error with the black vest ( of green army ) : http://nsa33.casimages.com/img/2013/07/15/130715062420789093.jpg (644 kB)

And a question; will you do texture for all variant of MX ?

[HorbeySpector 164]

Congrats on the release. Cant wait to try it out.

[HitmanTwoActual 188]

The MX is not showing up for my friend and I, any help?

[petek 62]

Excellent stuff - big pat on back;-)

Thank you

[Brain 12]

Downloaded it... my CAPTCHA was "Mouth watering" :D

[gvse 10]

Great job. I like the fact that each time you restart a mission the units change clothes. Black MX looks mean. Thanks for sharing your work, man! :)

Release frontpaged on the Armaholic homepage.

PG Services - Private Military Company [bETA]

===================================================

We have also "connected" these pages to your account on Armaholic.

This means in the future you will be able to maintain these pages yourself if you wish to do so. Once this new feature is ready we will contact you about it and explain how things work and what options you have.

When you have any questions already feel free to PM or email me!

[TheThrillhouse 10]

This looks excellent, downloading right now.

[PuFu 4600]

pat on the back! ;) that should boost your ego quite a bit! Gj on the content and on the release

[purepassion 22]

After some good playtime with these gentlemen, I have to say I'm impressed. :) The whole picture starting from the selection and combination of the equipment, the inventory icons, to the texture quality and the "little" things like the very nice homepage (which seems unavailable atm) and proper small showcase mission with its authentic layout raises a very high and persistent standart of quality.

The XM looks outstanding! I think the specular map is pretty much spot on and the small remains of dust along the striation adds a lot of detail. The AH is exactly as I imagined it

Thank you for your work!

I can only say I'm looking forward to future assets, assisting further with feedback or inspiration/suggestions and especially some nice missions with these units :icon_twisted:

Finnaly, you release it, Yipi kai yay !!

---------- Post added at 02:10 ---------- Previous post was at 01:23 ----------

Your mod is really excelent, and I waited it so long ...

I respect your choice but I can't handle to restrain me to tell you that I would like to have generic uniforms (just uniforms) instead of tagged PG ^^ (we will never let it go :p )

But we need something really really important... CLASSNAMES FILE for MXs and gears/uniforms/caps ... !! :rolleyes:

Cheers for your excelent work

PS: your website is funny ^^

[the chief 15]

Fantastic PMC collection. Really very well done and thank you for sharing.

[scorch_052 127]

This is truly excellent. Well worth the wait. My only question is do you plan on doing any kind of modelling work, or just retextures?

[D.Sloane 12]

really good work pomigit. it worth to wait for this release mate :) thanks for the great mod

[Tyl3r99 41]

I am stunned!! well done!! units look amazing!!!

[Kydoimos 916]

Great mod! But please, please, please - can we get a classname file? Again, well done and thanks for all your hard work!
