UH-80 Ghosthawk Retextured (WIP)

Russian-style Pattern



Hex Pattern



Crystal Pattern

For such a sexy looking helicopter, I'm very surprised to see that people have almost skipped over the Ghosthawk completely and even the other choppers as well!

I had a few ideas for what might look good as replacement textures for the Ghosthawk so I went ahead and learned how to get them imported into the game. They are added as new vehicles for BluFor. What I have come up with are the following schemes:

Current Patterns:

• Russian-style Camo
  
• Hex Pattern (Foliage/Green) (Cancelled)
  
• Hex Pattern (Maritime)
  
• Hex Pattern (Urban)
  
• Crystal Pattern (Foliage/Green)
  
• Crystal Pattern (Maritime)
  
• Crystal Pattern (Urban)
  

You may click on each pattern to see the full image album.

Patterns tested, but not shown:

• A-ATACS Arid/Urban (AU)
  
• A-ATACS Arid/Urban (AU) Green
  
• A-ATACS Foliage/Green (FG)
  
• A-ATACS Law Enforcement (LE)

Future Plans:

• optimize current textures
  
• add additional camo schemes
  
• add current and future schemes to other vehicles (KA-60, A/MH-9, etc.)
  
• finalize names for use in the editor

Hey Amit, didn't expect to see you here--It's Boba from Modacity.

Really digging the stuff! Can't wait to see what you do next. :)

[Amit 17]

Thanks, guys. I'd put up the WIP pbo for you guys to download, but I forgot to upload it this morning and came to work instead. I'll put that up later once I have fixed up some of the skins.

Holy crap, Boba, you worked on AFRF? That's awesome.

nice work

[Amit 17]

Nothing new yet, but I updated the first post to have sample images of each pattern so people viewing the OP don't have to open the full albums to see if this interests them or not. I also added some info about what other schemes are currently in testing.

You know, me and another forum member may be making a script which could make your camo better!

Sweet great job so far cant wait to get them in game. Now only if they would remove the bech seats and make the units sit on the floor.

Lol, why would you want that? That would be useful for a medevac version, though. I'm sure it can be done with a little time and elbow grease. Removing the textures for the benches are easy enough, but I assume the model itself will need to be edited as well to allow for the sitting animation on the ground and not appear to be floating in the air.

Just a little preview of what is to come:

It will make textures much more accessable!

If you choose to use it that is.

What do you mean? Does it allow real time texture changes or something? I can't imagine anything easier than using Eliteness to unpack the PBO and then grab the PAA file that I need.

setobjecttexture allows you to switch textures on named selections in a mission with scripting commands.

But setobjecttexture is local.

That is currently how I test my textures before setting up the config and binarizing into the PBO file.

But setobjecttexture is local.

So your method involves multiplayer?

But setobjecttexture is local.

Then I guess you have to execute it on every client.

I just use buldozer and the mass texture and material renaming tool. I haven't really done anything for arma 3 tho.

That is actually very helpful, thank you! It should definitely help speed up the texture testing process.

EDIT: Actually it doesn't really help at all since I can't get Oxygen to work with Arma 3. I followed the guides to turn my arma 2 P:/ into an Arma 3 drive (I have no interest in developing A2 mods). But I still can't get the stock p3d models to import into Oxygen.
