Croatian Armed Forces Mod - Looking for team

[wormeaten 0]

You got my support guys. Finally someone work on Croatian Army. :bounce3:

[Degman 73]

Finally, in few days (or even tomorrow) I am about to take my new PC components from the shop where I requested it. ArmA3 is already waiting for me on the Steam (no more sending addons to my friends, so they can test it, but I will do it myself - which is much quicker, and because of it I will be in able to make addons faster), and I am ready to proceed with working on this mod development, as well as my friend Minoza.

Here is some fresh stuff: replacing old pattern with new and better one

I just love how they gave croatian uniforms this very unique touch by using Croatia shapes :)

Isn´t the new pattern a bit to bright?

[Degman 73]

Hmm, I will test it in-game after I solve the problems with my graphics card (ASUS HD 7870 - I will just give it some week and maybe it will become more flexible), so then I will dedice to make it darker or not. It's not a problem for me to fix a texture if it will look bad.

[Degman 73]

This is how new texture looks like:

Right arm is still mirrored and will remain like that until BI release some uniform MLODs, so I can fix it.

It kinda looks too bright IMO, but that might actually be good for Altis or Stratis.

I hope we don't have to wait till Arma 4 for the MLODs. I don't really like playing as "AITAORƆ" :p

[Degman 73]

I agree with you. There is really no logic in waiting for Arma 4 to give modders stuff required to mod the Arma 3, which will be old to be used then. When Arma 3 is released, modders needs stuff from Arma 3 to do things, not old Arma 2, 1 and CWA or similar. Really BIS, think about it. :S If you continue like that, modders wont be up to date with your games, which content is going to be published anyway, but too late - after nobody needs it anymore. I hope you know what I am talking about. I just dont see the point in giving modders the Arma 2 stuff if they need something to mod the Arma 3 (more advanced + new systems) and so on.

@ADUILO If you compare it to most of real-life croatian uniforms, believe me, it's not too bright. :)

I googled "croatian army uniform". This is literally the first picture. It looks a lot more like the previous version. Maybe you should include both uniforms.

Also, how about a desert version of the uniform? The pattern looks really simple.

[Degman 73]

I have desert croatian pattern, but it doesnt fit to Arma 3 .. it has bad quality. But I have croatian navy pattern, so it is on a list before desert variant. If you ever find a photo like this of our desert uniform, let me know. :)

Got it. ;) And it only took me an hour and a half. :p

It's kinda small, but you can just copy/paste it 50 times and there you go. :)

[Degman 73]

I am sorry, but there is simply no enought material on that picture which could be edited and expanded in Photoshop. I will try asking some of uniform owners if they can give me a high quality photo that I need.

EDIT: Solution is right here

Looks good so far ^^

[Degman 73]

Thanks! :) There will be more of it in the future.

[Tonci87 163]

Well that Degman looks just like the Merkava...

wouldn´t it be nicer to have a tank that has something of the very distinctive looks of the Degman?

[ImTheDust 10]

Nice! I'm Croatian and i think this is beast and i would love to play in role of a Croatian soldier in Arma.

Well, nothing will be same in the future. :D Yes, it does look like a Merkava on the first look, but it has original content - it's just like comparing our VHS assault rifle to French FAMAS. :) I believe all the NATO tanks will look like a Merkava in the future, anyway.

Oh, you will, brother. :D No worries about that.

You really think so? Man I don´t know. Judging by our politicians we will still be using M-84 Tanks in 30 Years :p

I got an idea. What would it look like if you take a modified T-72 hull (should be available from someone) and slam that slammer lookalike turret on it?

We will see. I am still not working on MBT, but Degman 3 looks just fine for me. There will be time to discus about it. :)
