Guest Posted September 19, 2013 This addon is bikey signed Without the bisign file the key is useless, you should include the bisign files as well as the key. The bisign files are for the client, the key is for the server. Regarding the 2 versions, I assume the difference is for the in-game langauge displayed with your unis (like icons etc)?

zio sam 77 Posted September 19, 2013 Don't get me wrong but imho this is more a reskin than an addon that adds real italian gear. No italians weapons nor vehicles nor real italians troops(alpini,folgore,lagunari,bersaglieri)are present at the moment.I don't know if you plan to add them in the future,just pointing out the actual status. Reading just the topic title i was expecting something similar to Pedagne Mod for A2. The trick to remove the nvg from their default position is indeed a very good solution!

Regarding the 2 versions, I assume the difference is for the in-game langauge displayed with your unis (like icons etc)? yes it is the units display language and nothing else, so about key tomorrow i'l provide for to make one, many thanks for your suggestion :) for first it was intended to be used just to play with friends, but one of them suggested to share it if someone else wants to use it and so here i am @sam a t mod like pedagne at the actual status of the game means an endless work, and it is like to build a wall, and during the night someone is going to destroy it and you have to rebuild ecah pacth everything from the begin, that's the addon and i say better than nothing right now ---------- Post added at 04:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:36 PM ---------- No italians weapons nor vehicles nor real italians troops(alpini,folgore,lagunari,bersaglieri)are present at the moment.I don't know if you plan to add them in the future Arma 3 itself is fictional so believe me i'm really not interested in italian alpini exc. exc., also the game has nato, nor US army, Us navy, USMC, socom exc. so this point goes nowhere sadly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zio sam 77 Posted September 19, 2013 Ok thx for clarification,so the only italian thing in this addon would be all units reskinned in "vegetata" camo pattern right? no plans for real italian military hardware in the foreseeable future? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brainbug 10 Posted September 19, 2013 Arma 3 itself is fictional Well, the islands are perfectly usable with realistic gear, the community just has to provide it. Of course that will take years, but I'm sure we will be able to play Arma3 with realistic contemporary equipment eventually. But nevertheless, Vegetata is a great camo pattern, and just to have that is already a big plus. Let's just pretend these guys are SF, because SF teams often buy their own gear that deviates from their army's standard equipment. My only real criticism is your use of Imageshack for the pic, the slooowwwestest imagehoster on the planet... and if you make pictures, better make it a JPG instead of PNG, the filesize can be much smaller (and the lossless quality of PNG is not needed in this case). Oh, and a small issue, in this pic: http://imageshack.us/a/img407/5443/9f7i.png the "stretch patch" on the pants just above the butt would look better in my opinion if it wasn't in camo pattern but in a plain (olive) color, to give it the impression to be made of different fabric.

Of course that will take years, but I'm sure we will be able to play Arma3 with realistic contemporary equipment eventually Personally i think: for realistic gear exc. we already have arma 2 amd various mods such as ACE 2, so i really like 2035 fictional arma 3 set, for a matter of making something such as new vehicles, weapons exc., i prefeir to imagine 2035 italian army gear than use clunky AR 70-90 wich are rusty clunky irons, or better than italian army i would like to focus on EU army, with EU flag patches and a brand new invented camo pattern specifically made for EU armed forces Oh, and a small issue, in this pic: http://imageshack.us/a/img407/5443/9f7i.png the "stretch patch" on the pants just above the butt would look better in my opinion if it wasn't in camo pattern but in a plain (olive) color, to give it the impression to be made of different fabric. thx for feedback i'll looking into it Edited September 20, 2013 by Simon1279 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simon1279 53 Posted September 20, 2013 (edited) Made as you suggested, tested with firends knee Back they said they do prefeir the full camo one, the difference in manifacture is evident also without to change the color, so i believe i'll keep as my =AMI= friends do prefeir, after all this mod was made basically for them figured out how to make it looking better, =AMI= test passed knee back made the alpha filter a little lighter, and changed pattern Link updated, and units too first post Edited September 20, 2013 by Simon1279 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
