A Alien Reticulan in Arma 3 ??

[logan83 11]

Searching in the arma 3 files i found this in "a3\characters_f\Common\Data"...

There are a model to suit this skin? :o

You can see them if you do the following:

Go to the editor

set the date to the 4th july 2012 at 1 am

wander around in the woods in the north western parts of altis

this only works without NVGs

Seriously?!

[Grumpy Old Man 3540]

Yeah, they're treated like rabbits or snakes but only spawn on that specific date/time and area

go ahead and try it

[AveryTheKitty 2626]

Can you have Nightstalkers/TWS/NVS or have your Gamma turned up?

[logan83 11]

ok but can i spawn him in the editor...? im thinking to use it in a mision...

[Ranwer135 308]

Wow, there's actually Aliens in Arma 3!

That explains the zombie targets...WOW

BTW: Where exactly in the north-west of altis do you see them?

I think GOM is pulling your leg. The Arma 3 devs released a mock video in 2012 with these aliens in it.

They definitely don't exist in game as there are no cfgVehicles entries and nothing in the ambient parts of CfgWorlds. The texture file is probably a leftover.

That's interesting. I actually tried GOM's method but with squads of rifleman in case their zombie-like. Turns out, nothing appeared. Maybe the devs are thinking of putting the aliens in some kind of upcoming DLC? :D

But the alien texture do remind me of the aliens in the movie "Independence Day"

Ah yes, just like bigfoot in ArmA2.

More likely they existed for the purposes of that build but then the devs didn't remove the textures/RVMAT.

No, I agree - what I was saying is that's a total falsehood that they are in the game now.

You're right, sorry for any troubles, couldn't resist ;)

The texture is a leftover from an aprils fools video from what I know.

Here's the video:

[Ranwer135 308]

Huh? That's interesting. :confused:

If it was an april's fool, couldn't they just leave the actual mod in as like an Easter egg. (But I still don't know why they removed a few good content that was in their vids)

[chortles 263]

My guess is that they didn't intend to leave "the actual mod in as like an Easter egg" but were simply incomplete about removing all of its related contents.

[logan83 11]

uhm... im too sad... a gray alien in the game that's could be funny!

[Valken 621]

Since someone found the texture, can anyone for the model? Perhaps it can be ported into an independent faction for some Sci-Fi near future war mod?! :D

[chortles 263]

To date no one has found a corresponding model, at least not named "reticulan", nor a config entry for one... so you'd have to do up one from scratch and apply said textures yourself.

[meatball 25]

I know this is an older thread, but just wondering, couldn't you apply those textures to a model already ingame?

[chortles 263]

Theoretically yes, but I've no idea what they'd look like nor what the size of the intended model was.

PLEASE, can you give me the cordinates? PLEASE. you dont lose anything if you do, and you earn a friend.

[das attorney 857]

Sure.

It's:

[
  0.0054,
  20024.45766,
  0
];

Those are the coordinates, so go to them

[AveryTheKitty 2626]

Where do I paste those coords? I tried them in the mission.sqm and it put me in the water.

[MissingContent 10]

Sure.

It's:

[
  0.0054,
  20024.45766,
  0
];

Those are the coordinates, so go to them

i mean the coordinates like "066-160". you know.

This is my new favorite thread.

You guys are retarded... the aliens don't spawn in Altis; they spawn randomly in the wooded coast above Kamino Firing range on the 4th of July in 2011, somewhere between 8:45pm and 11:45pm.
