Is this effectively high quality textures for IFA3? Would be great to see a few screenies :)

[vintorez 250]

Thank you very much! I really appreciate your work.

[joarius 36]

Hi. Thx both of you. :)

 

All textures are High Quality Definition for IFA3 Lite. It adds new textures, but no basic textures of the games.

For screens, i will see to do them, IF i have time.

[Catsy 61]

Warning : 

Due to an error during the compilation, we have to reuploald the whole mod.

Workshop should update automatically. But for those who used the direct link, you have to re-download it entirely. (the link is update in the first post)

 

Sorry for the inconvenience

[redarmy 422]

Does this mod improve weapon textures as in the rifles each unit has and if so is it possible for me to only use that particular pbo?

[danno1991 24]

Any chance of an upload to pws 

[Catsy 61]

@redarmy : No, we haven't, and I don't think we will do it in the future.

 

@danno1991 : Yes, it's done -> http://withsix.com/p/Arma-3/mods/3INbX9Msp1KPo2skZ-CLhw/GEIST-A3-LITE

Thank U!

[bars91 956]

Thanks for the release!

 

But, isn't a new IFA3 release just a few days away? Or will it be good to go?

[Catsy 61]

@bars91 This version can work with any IFA3 version form v21 to the last version v21.1 for now.

[xxgetbuck123 945]

Problem 1: https://gyazo.com/3d5943ae3f6f501b96d5d3f27fa3f8cb (Happens on ALL the US Tankist outfits)

 

Problem 2: The US/Indep groups don't seem to be working in the editor, I can select them but nothing to place down. 

 

Love the textures though! The HD, everything about em! Mint mate mint

 

 

 Also what are the chances of eventually uploading each faction as its own mod? I'm keen to use the US Gear for some loadouts, but I don't think everyone wants to download 4gb of textures just for the US gear. Just thinking of how this mod can be more accessible to community and people who might be put off by the massive size. 

 

Cheers

[joarius 36]

@xxgetbuck123 : thx for the feedback. :)

We will check this as soon as possible, but the correction will be only on next release :\ ; we will try to work quickly, but we are not robots and supermen. If it was this case, a lot of things would ne added !... ;)

 

For your answer about the modularity of GEISTA3L, i can't answer you actually, because it's not easy to do. But if you want keep only some factions and erase other factions, you can use this file, in order to know what you can do : GEISTA3L_v3.2.0.txt.

Precisions : don't erase the files indicated in the "block" Various : most of them are needed dor the mod. ;)

 

Precisions for every one : in order to know what are the flags which are added in GEISTA3L, you can open the file GEISTA3L_v3.2.0_-_Flags.pdf, which is in the root folder of the mod.

When will US Paratrooper textures come?

I am also waiting for British and DAK textures.

 

Edit: There are more important things to fix first IMO. Like eagle patches of Panzer SS divisions...

[ericsch74 0]

I am currently running Geist-A3-Lite on my server but do not have a list of all the uniforms. Does anyone have a list that they could share so it would be easier to add the uniforms to my servers? Any help would be awesome!

Thank you

[oldy41 61]

@Catsy:

I love your work. In particular your textures for IFA3 look awful!

 

But how do you position your extension to FoW, since it has dependencies to IFA3, too?

I like both IFA3 and FoW, and each has its strengths,

But considering the fuss recently going on wrt the latest release of IFA3 I am a bit concerned, whether they might have to withdraw some of their models. So a.t.m. I refrain from creating missions with IFA3 content, which might break with a new release.

 

On the other hand I would definitely enjoy your extensions to the FoW content.

 

[Catsy 61]

Hi oldy41,

 

Thanks for you support ! 

 

This extension for Faces of War is really an addon of GEISTA3L with some models from FoW. So you need to have both at the same time, witch is actually possible.

 

Concerning the next version of IFA3, we will have to make a lot of change on our side. We are already preparing this update. Like IFA3 team, we will try to ensure maximum retrocompatibility between these versions.
