DOWNLOAD

Whats new:

-Uniforms, longsleeve and shortsleeve versions (FIA is only shortsleeve)

-Replaced Generic Female infantry with the new models, all sides have their respective female soldier.

-PSD resource for further development included

-A Female HL for the White females (no more hairy arms)

-Fixed typos in RVMAT files causing errors

Known Bugs:

-Minor Shadow LOD bugs with the long Sleeve units here and there

-Some weighting issues towards the upper back of the long sleeve units (only when handling weapons is this noticed)

-Specularity is a little too high on some units

-Short sleeve textures are significantly lower quality than the long sleeve textures.

-Some other minor weighting errors here and there

-Heads appear to "float" above the bodies this will be fixed in the heads overhaul

Yay! Thanks again Zealex for doing what BIS didn´t and for making Altis a less misogenic island =)

Hope you find volunteers for female radio protocol, that´s the last touch for your mod steping out of beta (of course, squashing all bugs too, but I understand the radio/voices is right now a real challenge)

Keep up the great work, woman!

cheers!

[froggyluv 2136]

Man (pun intended) this looks fantastic -congrats!

I could ask my wife to do voices as she's an actress but her Shakespearean edge might come off the wrong way.

Hell ya! Congrats Zee! I know that this is a huge step forward for the mod and arma 3!

You mean Mykonos, right ?

:cool:

[EricJ 763]

It's actually the island of Lemnos, not Mykonos..

Got a longsleeve texture error as you forgot to remove the "P:texturepath" from the "data\longsleeve\" folder.

Good news the scope error is gone, and another face (didn't catch which one) still giving the untextured look.

[artisanal 22]

You're right, but you missed the ironic point of my post. See for example -> http://www.huffingtonpost.com/trevor-martin/the-ultimate-gay-destinat_b_3895296.html

[petek 62]

Congratulations!!! Really looking forward to trying this out. Thank you for your work on this. Much needed and much appreciated

[tpw 2315]

Awesome work zeealex! The uniforms are really outstanding. I can't wait to see the improved fully rigged heads down the line too.

In the mean time, I have found a couple of geometry bugs...

When walking, there are some misplaced polygons between chest and crotch. These aren't noticeable unless the unit is sans vest:

There seem to be some weird arm polygon fx when the unit is distant:

Moving 1m closer, the dodgy geometry disappears:

These are not major so I hope I don't come across as nitpicking. I'm incredibly impressed and grateful for your hard work on what will end up being one of A3's most essential mods.

[anrio 11]

There's a mistake on placing object: No entry 'bin\config.bin\CfgFactionClasses\FEm_FIA.icon'

Another: Cannot load texture p:\femal3_uniform\data\Iongsleeve\Iongsleeve_nato_co.paa

Are lips movement till conversation not present?

zeealex, thanks for your great job!

[motorizer 12]

Had a quick play in the editor

I noticed a geometry bug when I used one of the dark skinned heads (cheung I think) some stretched polygons down from chin to waist.

Also missing textures on CSAT units shoes

Sorry didn't take screenshots.

[zeealex 2029]

There seems to be a few errors i didnt get to see correctly. My apologies.

I'll be in the house later today so i'll patch up the problems.

The crazy arms problem is a rig error i'll redo LOD3 and it should be alleviated.

Missing file paths is either a typo or i need to get rid of the P: prefix.

The head problem is a rig error too. I'll do reimports of the heads tonight. See if i can kick start a major update

@ericj, i'm still not having the black face problem. I've tested all heads but i cant see it. I'll change the name of the work folder and see if it turns up as a path error.

[EricJ 763]

What you have to do is go in Object Builder and go to Tools/Mass Texture & Material Naming and see if you see a "P:\texture path" in black and removing that will do it.

[zeealex 2029]

Aye. I normally do it manually via the individual selection assignments. Mass texture and material renaming isnt good for me

[EricJ 763]

It actually is, when i first started my gun mod it killed me as that was the issue, all you have to do is go from this:

"p:\modnam\data\texturename"

to

"modname\data\texturename"

And so on, and kills the texture issue. The reason you're not having problems is because the path references your P: drive, not ours, but if I had say the source files (hypothetically) then I would see it and have no issues as well. It looks white in Buldozer but as such the textures show up in-game.

It doesn't change your workflow but you should definitely add that step as yes when you apply the texture to the model it shows fine in Buldozer/in-game on your computer, but ours we get the missing texture errors.

[zeealex 2029]

thats exactly why I wanted to change the FEMAL3 folder name in my P:Drive that way I'd see all of the path errors end users see.

I did do it once, i used to rename the folder and add a dash or a symbol after it when I was testing the mod Ingame, that normally threw up errors of things I missed quite well mostly foolproof.

then I started binarization removed the P: automatically -.- can you tell this is my first mod?

I suppose I could put mass material renamer back onto the job I've been pressing the E button and using that interface :P

either way, it'll get sorted tonight it'll be about an hour ish, provided my food doesn't arrive between now and then :)

[EricJ 763]

Nope I binarize all my addons when testing and it keeps the P:, E just allows you to apply/remove textures, for us end users it has to be as above... :D But just passing on a hard lesson learned in my case ;)

Well no worries, I can deal with it as I haven't uploaded it yet to my server.

Just when I have the least time for playing ArmA... :) Nevermind, congratulations on finally making this work.

[malcom86 33]

Hurray for the Beta release !!!!! ;) I'll check it out after work !!!!!

[badlucky1776 3]

These work pretty darn good.

One suggestion... put them under NATO/men cat or NATO/female category so they stop throwing "no Female.Icon" spam and I'll use them in mission building ;-)
