It's because the PMC mod texture replicates a proper parkerized texture, where as this one seems to just edit the colors of the previous texture, making it a strange two-tone grey.

They both look way better than the desert colored one.

Thanks alot Foxhound ;)

Hi GDSN, I see you are new to the forum so firstly welcome :). Now the last I checked the MX doesnt have hiddenselections. Unless this has changed it means you would have had to edit the models and include them in your pbo. Is this correct?

If yes you need written permission from BIS to release this mod. I didn't see any mention of this on your release post so Im assuming you haven't done this. I recommend you pull this release until you have. BIS are pretty good about it if you ask nicely. Without such permission you are in breach of the EULA :(

Thanks for the information pomigit, I wasn't aware of this. I'll contact BIS as soon as I can ;)

Edit: I've contacted BIS and have now updated the credits as per request.

i have the mod loaded, but the MX rifles are still tan, and i can't see an ammo box anywhere

maybe i'm just blind, but still, could you post the classnames?

Currently there is not an ammo box containing the black MX weapons. They must be obtained via VAS or by adding the weapons manually. A weapon box may be added in the next update (when I get time).

The classnames (as from the Readme) are:

Simply add _black to all standard MX weapon classnames:

MX (Black)		arifle_MX_F_black

MXC (Black)		arifle_MXC_F_black

MX 3GL-H (Black)	arifle_MX_GL_F_black

MX LSW (Black)		arifle_MX_SW_F_black

MXM (Black)		arifle_MXM_F_black

Currently, the addon does not replace the standard MX.

@GDSN: If possible, could you make a replacement pack?

Sure, I'll include this in the next update.

[windies 11]

Kudos, a replacement pack would be very nice.

[pellejones 1]

GDSN, the normal MX Black still has a tan vertical hand grip. Is it meant to have that? The MXC has a black one.

[gliptal 25]

So, did the replacement pack get included?

Yay!

[Gudsawn 93]

The tanned vertical grip wasn't intentional, but it does look quite nice when used with the ARCO scope :p

However, I will be making the grip black in the next update.

So, did the replacement pack get included?

Unfortunately no, not yet - I haven't had the time to update the mod since release. I have quite a free day tomorrow so I may work on it then.

I can't make any promises though since AFAIK the MX weapons don't allow hiddenSelections (possibly due to BIS copyrights) which prevents replacement textures.

[lao fei mao 21]

@GDSN,

How about add a black edition of MX DMR? Would be appreciated.

[IGCNightmare 10]

Is there a way to have this mod installed via a script for a mission so that others without the mod can see and hear the gun, or just a regular MX instead? Because I really wish to use the black version but of course no one else can see the gun unless they have the mod installed.

[ratnl 27]

I think via texture replacement pack

Will be waiting for the replacement pack with baited breath! :) These do look rather good I must say.

[pellejones 1]

Ooh ooh any chance that you can do a black version of the new OPFOR marksman rifle?

[Kaxii 11]

Any news on replacement pack?

[ratnl 27]

In the dev build we have bis black mx rifles. It's a matter of time they come in the normal branch
