Previously called the "US Army 2005" addon, now i renamed it to "US Forces 2000s", so the addon can have a wider scope and can include more branches. This pack includes Soldiers and Marines wearing BDUs in Desert camo or M81 Woodland camo and Interceptor Body Armors in M81 camo, 2004-2006 era Marines wearing Marpats, IBAs, Nomex Flightsuits, and there are also 2007 Era US Army units that wear Full UCP camo.

Fantastic mod. I ve also waited for something like this. 

 

This:

- No entry 'bin/config.bin/CfgWeapons/ItemInfo.scope'.
- No entry 'bin/config.bin/CfgVehicles/EventHandlers.side'.
- No entry bin/config.bin/CfgVehicles/EventHandlers.scope.

 

are caused by misconfiguration of attributes of class inheritances and missing main class entries in config.cpp and should be easy to fix.

If I could obtain author s permission to depbo the mod and check the config I will gladly take a look at it.

Unless better Chanchos then me could help the author with that.

 

Regards.

What else I forgot....

Here are few helpful ideas:

 

1. I would expand mech units and groups in editor for ready editor scenarios, ZEUS, or ALIVE use, add units with M113s , M1A1 tanks, maby HMMTT trucks etc.

2. I would retexture that nice ACU uniform and helmets with UCP camo to get nice interim units from 2005 - 2006 period with woodland IBA vests a la Arma 1 units.

3. It is imperative to add to units config:

 

identityTypes[] =
{
	"LanguageENG_F", "Head_NATO", "NoGlasses"
};

to prevent spawning of units with futuristic BIS glasses and googles.

Or alternatively You can always assign only RHS glasses or glasses pool to the units for example.

 

Ah yes and one more thing.

Some retextures for patrol cap or boonie hat would be appreciated because rifleman with light equipment does not have any soft cover on his head. You know US Army Regulation 670-1 and all that.

Thanks for the ideas (:, I have already in mind about some of the things that you listed like the UCP uniforms and helmets etc.

Yes i think im gonna go for patrol cap, and also planned to make all units carry one in their shirt like RHS units do

 

1 hour ago, bolo861 said:

identityTypes[] = { "LanguageENG_F", "Head_NATO", "NoGlasses" };

For this i used the allowedfacewear function on the helmets (i used this at first to prevent guys wearing goggles when his helmet has one)

 

Anyway, is anyone else having the missing goggles texture? Because i dont seem to have it.. i also tried subbing to my own mod on workshop but it dsnt show this bug

Maby it isn t connected to wrong path for texture assigment but to rmvat,, material or UV map shader? I for example use ultra graphic quality settings in game. I dont have any error messages when equipping  or using the helmets just  white textureless helmet goggles. But for 99% it s a texture assignment path error. Maby it s simply missing "\" on the start of the file path.

ok i found out that i actually set the goggles' texture path to the raw unpacked file instead of inside the pbo lol, i guess that should fix the missing textures, and also fixed the inheritance issues thanks to bolo861, i'll get it updated soon

That s a good news. I ve tested and indeed googles textures show up fine now.

 

Thanks for the update.

 

BTW.

It s not a bug just little omission also on my part. Both AA specialists desert and woodland still carry vanilla backpacks with vanilla Titan AA rocket reloads insteed of "rhs_fim92_mag".

 

Thanks and Regards.

Yes i guess i would retex it but i don't want the CUP version to be also dependent to rhs lel, so i might base instead it on the arma 2 model, prolly make the texture bigger and remodel the straps

Could you add a UCP version of the ACU, please? The default ACU in the CUP pack clips through the vest.

yeah, will do UCP but idk about DCU (that way I guess i might as well rename this addon to smthing like 2005-2008 lol);

I also plan to make a USMC pack of the same period which will use coyote brown (and m81) IBAs too, but i'll focus on the army units first
