Airborne Infantry

Recommended Posts

This is a mod that adds more airborne type units.

I was gonna make a mission with airborne drops and well there is only one para unit in vanilla. SOOO I figure WTH I'll make one.

This add 2 new vehicle classes and 2 new group classes.

Airborne class is like the vanilla when you place unit in editor its on the ground.

so far just

Squad Leader

Team Leader

AT specialist

AR soldier

reguler soldier

and medic.

 

Air assualt is just like above EXCEPT when you place these guys on the map they spawn in the air randomly between 250 to 500 meters high.

Below are pics of a squad air dropping,Airborne units next to vanilla units....

To come: more units, groups, Opfor version, and independent version.

 

Airborne Alpha: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vxss3mfxhcpbl9d/Airborne.rar?dl=0  OOOPPS forgot to take out debugs its fixed now! lol version 1




PS when in air they have parachute back pack, but when on ground they will have there standard packs. :)

 

Requires CBA

 

Enjoy

Hey guys. Got weapons and uniforms in arsenal, Got the men in Zeus, but am having trouble with getting the groups into Zeus. Once I get that. I'll release it. so far changes are going to be:

Added guns and uniforms to arsenal

Added men in Zues

Added Groups to Zeus HOPEFULLY

ADDED C-130 plane sound to AIR ASSAULT

ADDED Ammo Bearer.

probably a few other nuggets. lol

 

Its kinda neat watching the guys spawn in with zeus in the air!

How's your CfgPatches looking? That's the first place I'd look to make sure everything's in tip-top shape as far as Zeus compatibility goes.

Thanks guys :)

 

@chortles here is what I have. I've tried copying one I did do that worked, but still no groups in Zeus for Airborne. Unless its how Ive defined my units. What ever Im doing wrong should be here.

 

​LOL you was totally right. I forgot about the ammo guy. He wasn't in the patches. lol 24 hours later that got it. Knew it would be simple. BUT good thing is I had a lot of unneeded stuff in there cleaned that out in the process of trying to figure out what I was missing. THANK MAN!!!! Update coming soon.

here is a small demo vid just spawning air assault groups in Zeus. Air assault will always start in the air. If you want them on the ground use Airborne. ;) Update coming soon. Gotta add more stuff and tweak few more things.

Great mod. I like the fact that I can completely alter the troops with my own uniform and gear loadout. One thing, since I upgraded to the latest version, when I place a group of Air Assault on the map in the editor or using Zeus they spawn on the ground and not in the air. :unsure:

Air Assault or Airborne? And do you have CBA installed?

Yes Air Assault. Worked fine in the first edition you put out and I can get it to work by spawning a group with Zeus and then using the Alt key to raise them up. I do have CBA installed and it might be a clash with another mod although yours is the only parachuting addon I have installed.

Thanks for your reply.

Hi mikey74,

 

thanks a lot for that forceful team.

It´s very useful to rough up the enemy behind their lines.  ;)

 

Good job!

mikey74. The problem I was having was caused by the IS-MOD. If I disable that your mod works as it should.

McLupo thanks. Hopefully you'll like next update which should be very soon.

 

@Ayjay I think that mod is discontinued. I cannot find a link to download it. Without being able to down load it it will be hard to pin point the compatibility issue. 

 

Next update will have

bluefor

Quick reaction team

With a truck and a team for parachuting in.

Opfor

Ariel Attack drones

Ground assault Drone

Plus teams of these.

 

The drones will be buggy as it can be playable. So Basically as a drone you are the drones cpu. If you leave the vehicle you will die. Till I figure out how to make it non playable. It will most likely stay that way.

Dude, what do you expect from ISIS? They even destroy your gameplay (mod)... lol. Throw the scrap away and free your computer. :P .

 

@mikey:

Thanks for the update - now I am able to start (my) a major counterattack.  :)

Seriously, downloaded and it works very well.

Outstanding job.

Hi,

 

I have tested the updated version, all works like a charme so far and looks awesome.  :)

Thank you very much!  

 

..., but one minor criticism...a trifle, i mean (my very subjective opinion/suggestion)

 

Subject: The weapons camo

Could you improve (proof) them, because they should have a much more less clean look.
The camo you have used, looks like a ribbed pattern at closer range.
