bars91 956 Posted January 16, 2016 I'd, on the other hand, take the more worn-out look for leather boots. And USMC don't run black leather boots (A2 had some Marines with them and CUP has too) so a slight coyote texture wouldn't hurt when you get to it ) Keep up the fantastic work! I'm also thinking of trying myself in modding but other RL stuff tends to pile up on me, so I respect people who actually find time for doing such cool stuff for free and for everyone's enjoyment!

ineptaphid 6413 Posted January 16, 2016 Guys, how does the SOFLAM work? Is it supposed to be a designator? It is great for range-finding and thermals,but I don't seem to be able to lase targets with it.Is it meant to? Thanks. EDIT-Sorry,disregard this-Soflam works perfectly.my fault :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chairborne 2594 Posted January 16, 2016 Odd request, but I was wondering if it wee possible for someone like me to reskin the CH-53 to make it a sub for Pave Low AFSOC ops. ~S The problem with the retexturing of the CH53E is that it's split across several proxies because it has a very high polycount (i don't even remember bothering to setup hiddenselections because of this). However from next arma stable update (v1.56) proxy retexturing should be supported so we should be able to allow that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
semiconductor 309 Posted January 16, 2016 Guys, please consider bringing back the old and ugly M249 to the Virtual Arsenal as an optional variant of Toadie's model. Don't get me wrong, I totally love Toadie's M249s (as a matter of fact I always wanted a high-quality M249 because all we had prior was a slightly polished Arma 1 model) but they simply have too many polygons compared to the soldiers carrying them and that at times breaks a... um... "graphical consistency", I guess. For me, it just looks like an alien object from a different, better world, reminding you of what we might have had if BI wouldn't have chosen the "futuristic" approach. :D 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wouldn't the more sensible request be to replace the soldier model? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

semiconductor 309 Posted January 16, 2016 Er, wait, you are saying that the M249 looks too good on an old soldier model and therefore should be replaced by an uglier looking model? I'm not saying that it should be replaced with the uglier model, all I'm saying is that in my opinion it might be somewhat beneficial to have the old model available too, just in case. No need to replace anything, just consider throwing it back into the mod and making it accessible through the VA in case someone needing it. :) Wouldn't the more sensible request be to replace the soldier model? Well, I'm not a modder myself but from what I gathering, creating a new soldier model or even a significantly improving the current one requires way more time and effort than just putting back a single weapon that is (I think) already made. I thought that this would be a more sensible request than asking for bringing an entire CUP library to Arma 3 quality overnight but since you've mentioned it, yeah, I would totally love to see that. :D Frankly, I'm fine with the current quality. Yeah, it's not the best for sure but the amount of content opens so many gameplay and scenario possibilities that I don't really mind the outdated textures.

Yeah, it's not the best for sure but the amount of content opens so many gameplay and scenario possibilities that I don't really mind the outdated textures. While there is some poor quality stuff from Arma 2 (Those Germans!) as well as some good quality stuff (the Takistanis), I'd rather have it at all at the current quality level then not at all. Of course improvements should be made when they can. I really want to get into Arma modding and 3D modelling to help the CUP team, but I have no time, no skill and no idea where to begin. :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

teromad 16 Posted January 18, 2016 Someone should link those upgrade tutorial videos you have on your Facebook page every time this question is asked.

Chairborne 2594 Posted January 19, 2016 What stuff do you guys got for UN? and is there anyway I could make some skins for UN to go on other vehicles in cup? Open the game and check for yourself. :P We have what vanilla A2 had, plus the Mi-24D and BRDM-2 Aye!! Thank you! That's something I've never done but I'd take a crack at it. Has there also been any discussion about a USAF skin for it in a future release? ~S Not really, no, as we don't support a USAF faction natively (the A10 is under US Army, the C130 is under USMC and that's about it). If you want to make one though i'd be more than happy to add it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
