Middle East Conflict mod

[redarmy 424]

Chops has started work on Hamas headgear, they'll likely be in the next release.

Oh that is fantastic! Much appreciated both of you.

Is there any chance for a Zeus compatibility update for this mod? People need to experience the terror of Hezbollah. CSAT units aren't cutting it.

Pfff! This Zeus is not about democracy. This Zeus is not about freedoms, diplomacy or apple pies, infidel. This Zeus is about constraining the people of his earthly kingdoms to their dying and forgotten principles and traditions for their greater good. Fearing Allah's holy wrath. I shall cleanse the lands of the infidel stench that corrupts and defiles my humans love for all things good! This Zeus kneels before Allah! Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar! الله أكبر

But I really would still like to know if MEC will be getting a Zeus compatability update soon. I have to resort to Drongo's SAA mod. Which is still good. Just not as much content. And the Hezbollah units aren't wearing balaclavas. Which is a minus in my book. the balaclava is their staple!

[nullrick 10]

The units are defined in cfgPatches, what else needs to be done to make them Zeus compatible?

BTW, early Hamas WIP.

Looks terrific.Spot on! Thanks for sharing Drongo give my regards to chops.

I'm not quite sure. Maybe it has to do with running the mod, and required mods, through PW6. But Mr. Hamas looks amazing! 'Dat headband.

[chops 111]

Glad you like 'em fellas. I've since made a few changes, tightening the top of the headband so it fits to the head a bit more.

There's also Hezbollah and Al Qaeda/ISIS versions too.

I'm going to rexture some of the guerilla uniforms, so we'll have a good assortment of headcases in headbands. It has named selections so you can create your own Greenpeace or My Little Pony versions :D

Stunning!Absolute fantastic,love the way your designing Hamas.

I might be pushing my luck chops,and this might not be accurate to real hamas attire,although they do show the flag for tribute sometimes....But,is it possible to have a palestinian Flag on the shoulder of one of thise uniforms? (see my avatar)

Regardless,thrilled with your effort;)

[nullrick 10]

Great stuff, Chops! Very cool. Nice to see Al Qaeda will make an appearance. Can't wait to have people wearing them shooting at me from the rocks in Clafghan so I can have a good reason to tactically piss my pants.

The Hezbollah/Hamas are fantastic looking. They look like they fit that sweet spot between armed civilians and an organized army, ie: they look like proper paramilitary forces. I like setting up middle eastern insurgency maps so its nice to have various degrees of insurgent-style combatants to bring to bear.

[Drongo69 117]

First post updated with version 014. Changes:

• Added Hamas placeholders (No packs, balaclavas, high-end Russian weapons)
  
• Various bugfixes to randomization scripts
  
• Added some more BIS uniforms, balaclavas and shemags to the Irregulars
  

The new Hamas headgear and uniforms didn't make it into this release due to real life concerns. The Hamas placeholders are still somewhat distinct from the Irregulars.

[mistyronin 1181]

I guess that after adding Hamas, the inclusion of the IDF ( Israel defense forces ) would make sense . You can add a texture for Sudden's M113, the Merkava from the vanilla, if you want the AH64 and Blackhawks from the models that Aplion released open. As the main weapons you already have the Massi's for the M4s and the vanilla TAR21 ( the IDF mainly uses the short version and in black ).

They also use light HMMWVs like the Sudden's ones.

The Namer could be included using the vanilla Panther but the futuristic turret looks a bit odd.

And the uniform, well it's relatively easy as it's just plain olive green fatigues.

Thank you for the update Drongo69 :)

Anyone knows why I get this error message?

Non Entry cfg vehicles- Sud_UAZ_basescope?

[redarmy 424]

Thanks Drongo,its like christmas morning.Finally a playable Hamas!!

@Mistyronin,There is already a mod for isreali terrorists.But they are just units,included in blufor.They look good and authentic actually.

Sorry cant think of the mod name,i suppose IDF (Isreali Disgusting Fascists) .....or something like that.

That one is old fashioned and only has infantry.

With the requirements this mod already has the devs could build a quite OK force for Israel ( as I said, TAR21, M113, vanilla Merkava, HMMWVs, etc. and adding Aplion open helos like AH64 and Blackhawk ). And the uniform it's relatively simple to do, basically dying the AAF/CSAT officer uniform plain olive green.

I thought you more than anyone would like the idea, as you would have a more realistic adversary to use the new Hamas soldiers against and have more vehicles to blow up.

On a Middle East mod Israel's army is basic, as they tend to fight all the rest of factions ( Syria, Hezbollah, Hamas, etc. ).

Oh dont get me wrong,i would love to see a fleshed out IDF included in this mod.I was just thinking you were unaware of the other current one.

Yeah all the assets are around for the isreali army as you say,HAHA its kind of funny if you think about it,theres more isreali used weapons/vehicles/gear in the game as is,and with mods,yet no isreal.

Hopefully chops will make them and include Benjimen netinyahu as an officer so i can take hamas and roll a technical up his ass

Yeah, that is something that is really amazing. People creating armies from scratch and everything, and one of the few armies that could be made just with the vanilla content an no one has much interest to make it ( not even the forum's Israeli users ).

Kind of curious. Specially having in mind that Altis / Stratis looks a lot like Israel / Middle East ( I think that the devs were planing to do a Israel vs Iran but they were turn out by possible political consequences, which is funny because there are 10.000 games about US vs Russia or US vs Middle East ).

If the mod devs decide to include the IDF Army, I have here a good photo of their uniform ( that as I said is basically the CSAT / AAF uniform but in plain olive green ):

( as a curiosity it doesn't have the country flag patch, so technically doesn't meet the Geneva conventions rules about uniforms ).

Nikiforos, it could be because Sud's East versus West mod is a requirement for the Middle East Conflict mod. Are you running East versus West? It, I believe has the uaz unit in it.

Yes I do, although I must admit that my addons are messed up have no idea where specific files are and in which folder :D

[sgt.cr@$h 11]

Nice, now with the Israeli soldiers mod i can kill some Israeli and revenge for Gaza :D

[Drongo69 117]

I am hoping the chaps of the IDF mod will release an updated version of their mod soon. I'd rather not make another patch-work mod with a tonne of dependencies. For now you can at least arm the IDF troops with Massi's guns by using the module included in MEC. I was also dissatisfied with the overly generic appearance of Hamas, so I narrowed down their selection of uniforms to just the four darkest ones and black balaclavas only. They look much better now IMO. I will probably release an update in a day or two.
