rcmw 10 Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) I'm not a big fan of the future/sci-fi feel of Arma 3, in-fact I hate it, but with the weapons and uniforms created now I think something can finally be done about it. What I would like to do is create a replacement pack that switches the weapons used by units for some from Massi's NATO SF and Russian Spetsnaz Weapons pack. The US solders would properly best work as Rangers or Regulars because the M4A1 is a better swap with the MX but if I get this to work I can do a USMC pack too with M16s. The Independent faction can be equipped with weapons in use by the Hellenic Army and the OPFOR side with those used by Iran. Only exception would properly be the Katiba as it looks a lot like the KH-2002 also used by Iran and the main battle rifle of Iran at the moment is the G3, the same as the Hellenic Army and I think some more variety would be nice. So OPFOR keep the Katiba Independent get the G3. After replacing the weapons I would then look at replacing the uniforms of the US and UK units in game and replacing those awful OPFOR space age helmets with something. The one problem is I have never created a replacement pack or add-on before, I've done lots of scripting but no idea where to start with this. Is there anyone who can help me or point me to an easy to understand tutorial and/or the tools needed to open/view an exciting replacement pack? Also if something like this has already been made and I just can't find it please send me a link :) Plan is this: BUFOR US solders MX rifles replaced with M4A1 rifles MXGL rifles replaced with M4A1 M203 rifles MXC replaced with M4A1 CQB MXSW replaced with M249 LMG MXM replaced with SR25 CheyTac M200 replaced with M107 Walther P99 replaced with M9 UK solders Black MX rifles replaced with HK417 Black MXGL rifles replaced with HK416 M203 rifles Black MXM replaced with SR25 Guerrillas TRG-21 replaced with AK74M or AKM TRG-20 replaced with AKS74U Independent Mk 20 replaced with G3 Mk 20 EGLM replaced with G3 M203 Mk200 replaced with MG3 or M249 Mk 18 ABR replaced with M24 OPFOR Katiba leave as it is. Rahim replace with SVD Gepard GM6 replace with Zafir replace with PKM RPG-32 replace with RPG 7 Uniforms NATO US solders replaced with Massi's 75th RANGER MULTICAM or something else. NATO UK SF replaced with Massi's SAS-SBS (woodland) OPFOR strange space age helmets replaced with beret or something/anything else.

ante185 2 Posted May 14, 2014 I think this thread will help you get started, while it is for making vanilla weapons compatible with modded mags the principle is the same http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?177407-Vanilla-weapon-with-moded-magazine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Von Quest 1163 Posted May 14, 2014 This is for private use? Or an addon that would automatically swap them if you have those other mods? M4 better that MX? MX is from 2035 and is a bigger calibre. Plus the modular 3-round 40mm, very cool. Sounds like WAY too much work when you can just use those weapons already how you want. Hmm... Working on your own new original pack sounds way more fun of a project to sink your teeth in to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
