h a w a i i a n 511 Posted September 3, 2014 By Hawaiian & Siege-A Aloha, this addon is a rendition of the U.S. Army's 75th Ranger Regiment, with the close help of user Siege-A. I am aiming to get an "overall" look than to have a "quality" look implemented into this addon, If you need to know why, it's because I play on an iMac and when I purchased it I didn't have plans to play video games on it. Including in the addon are Infantry and Inf. groups (*no vehicles) implemented as a faction to use in Arma III. Of course it won't be 100% accurate due to my limited areas in modding, but I got them as close as I could with the help of many individuals who has contributed their time and work, which will always be appreciated. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Links to Version 0.5 155.11 MB (Armaholic) http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=30356 (DropBox) https://www.dropbox.com/s/7d13evnbqbucfjb/HAYN_75Rangers_v1-1.7z?dl=0 (Steam) http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1171952244 Please take the time to check out the Credits also, if you're interested in using certain assets, or just to see who made some of these dope assets.

3p0x1 74 Posted September 17, 2014 If I'm not mistaken, a lot of the 75th is rocking M4 block 2's so you may wanna take a look at the MK18 pack that includes them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would be so helpful to me right now, I'll try and get you a list as soon as I can. Yea that texturing is top notch, very skilled (always using that SCAR rifle in my loadouts). Just out of curiosity this weaponset you're helping me with includes the M4's and block's, or just the SCARs? ---------- Post added at 23:58 ---------- Previous post was at 23:56 ---------- Wow this is just flatout amazing so far!

I'm such a perfectionist I think I re-textured the MCam like 6 times to get it right, but yea that's definitely final. I'm a fan of the Rangers too, best of luck to you on joining up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

h a w a i i a n 511 Posted September 26, 2014 LOL you'd probably be like "ugghh" at my first 5 tries. But yea this version I like best, spent many times lookin at reference pictures and the more I did the more I kept changing it and changing it til I got it somewhat right. I would love to get my hands on some desert Multi Cam tho, tried making my own but that just came out tragic. But yea Eric's a top notch dude. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

corporal_lib[br] 396 Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) Hey Hawaii_Based , your take on 75th Rangers is sweet, but I gotta ask which M4 is that on this latest screenshot? Is it a beta version of the latest RH M4s or Sabre´s M4s for RHS that you had acess to? [EDIT] Are those ERicJ´s???? Their textures are quite sharp, doesn´t look like those he´s released on USAF mod or his own weapon packs... bizarre! =) cheers!

kilo1-1 1 Posted September 27, 2014 I would suggest you move the flag texture to its proper location above the patch panel on the uniform. Take a look at the default NATO Recon uniform to see what I am referring to. This will properly allow custom textures such as squad.xml and custom patches to go on the patch panel without having the flag texture in the way. Other than that suggestion, everything looks great. I especially love your glove textures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
h a w a i i a n 511 Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) Crpl Lib.........The Rifle is BI's M4A1 (from what I gathered from Eric) but with EricJ's tweakings. It will be implemented into the Rangers loadouts along with SCAR-L and hopefully some CQB Block rifles which I'm trying to get permission to use. Hopefully when you try them out as I have, you'll like the results because to my opinion these are the best rifles I've shot so far in the game.....but that's for you guys to decide (of course lol). Kilo1-1 ...yes you're right, I'll "try" and fix that but the thing is if you assume to re-texture only the right arm, it will show up on the left arm as well. I've also tested my uniform with patches and the flag does get in the way of a "cut" logo but not a squared logo , the squared logo will cover up the left arm flag (to which I re-sized the flag to be covered by a patch) but yea I'll see if it can be done, no problem.

I did some tweaks to the overall darkness of the weapons as I spend more time tweaking them. I may adjust the barrel though as I was running through my course and finally (oddly) caught that, so I'll probably send him some more tweaked textures and models.
