(Bigger Admin Pouch, maybe a Pen and a rite in the rain notepad in the Kangaroo Pouch and so on) Are the Zip-On Back Panels for the Crye Plate Carriers planned?

Hadn't really thought about it till just now, was just gonna slap some JTAC patches and call it good, lol. For sure though, we'll definitely look into adding some variants like that, would surely fit the realism aspect a little more and make the JTAC guys more distinguished among the crowd. 10 hours ago, zeealex said: Hey what's the vert count on those? they're looking a little high. On the hoodies? They are currently sitting roughly around 7k with the raw model. But much of this is due to faces/verts hidden inside where they are never seen. Every model that Sahio sends me, I've been doing plenty of work to reduce the polycount, remove unnecessary hidden faces, and make them as performance-friendly as possible (not overdoing shadow LODs, etc). I fully understand that this pack would be pretty worthless if its just all beauty but doesn't run for shit ingame. I could have the modeler take care of most of this himself, but since he's not familiar with Arma's engine or its standards, I'd rather just leave him modeling away while I take care of getting it all game-ready. For each item, I always give him a rough idea of the limit he needs to keep it around, so he does try to keep it within reason without just going wild. EDIT: BTW, would love to add some female variants to some of this stuff if the character model is still in the works. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Foxone 1044 Posted April 28, 2018 What camouflage patterns are you planning? Would love to see some MTP in there for the UK Pathfinders: Spoiler Mod is coming along great btw!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wsxcgy 1960 Posted April 28, 2018 36 minutes ago, Foxone said: What camouflage patterns are you planning? Would love to see some MTP in there for the UK Pathfinders as detailed in previous posts, their plan is to make a core pack with things in basic patterns like multicam and flat colors, and then making factions that use the core as dependency and add faction-appropriate retextures with the faction packs. so I'd imagine if they were to make any British unit, they would probably involve MTP in some way or another. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Siege-A 4054 Posted April 29, 2018 1 hour ago, Foxone said: What camouflage patterns are you planning? We've got a good bit of camo patterns available, and I do intend to add the British MTP and woodland/desert DPM for items that it fits with. For the most part, the majority of our other camo pats will be US based, but I am very interested in doing patterns from other nations as well. And to keep from packing all these patterns that people may not want in the core packs, camo additions will be modular and optional. I'm thinking we'll keep the core packs with only Multicam, Black, RG, CB, and maybe some other solid colors. As for the US patterns, here's some of what can be expected: - 6-Color Desert (Chocolate Chip) - 3-Color Desert - ABU - AOR-1 - AOR-2 - ATT (All-Terrain Tiger) - ATACS (Several pats) - Kryptek (Several pats) - M81 - MARPAT Desert - MARPAT Woodland - NWU - OCP (Scorpion) - Tigerstripe - UCP - UCP-Delta - US4CES (Several pats) I'm sure there's a few I'm forgetting somewhere. At some point soon, I'll get the OP updated with the full list of available patterns that we plan to include. EDIT: Pretty much what wsxcgy said, this just expands on that a bit more. 11 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hvymtal 1251 Posted April 29, 2018 It's amusing that the Army hung on to UCP for so long. First, they made a pattern that only works in Manhattan, then they made a pattern hat only works in a scrapyard. That being said UCP-D is cool if only because it is so different from anything else. Also very happy to see US4CES; Cramer and the guys at Hyperstealth put so much effort and science into it and made something pretty unique, only to lose to Multicam Nothing against Multicam, but it's like Glock or Toyota; it's the boring choice :P 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you have some good ref pics, that would be great, and if it's too much hassle, no worries as I'm sure we could find some. On a different note, got a little preview pic to throw in for another of Sahio's side projects that he whipped together. Nothing too serious but will surely be something interesting to mess around with. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Victruso 179 Posted April 29, 2018 No. You can't do that. You are NOT allowed to do that. Now I'm going to be working the next couple weeks, with that skull in the back of my head rattling as it laughs "Oh vic you'll never get to wear me BECAUSE I'M IN DEVELOPMENT". And the worst part, it's not normal rattling. It sounds like brass. 3 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We've got some fabric covers on the list, just haven't been made yet, probably do them all at once for the different helmet types. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks guys. Just doing what we can to bring some of the many things we've all wanted to see in Arma into a true possibility. Gear assets seemed like an excellent focus point, adding more options for the community to create various units/factions with in a more authentic way. Kinda something like we're seeing with CFP.... 9 hours ago, zeealex said: Not sure if you've already got one as well but I have an Airframe model to hand. Zeealex, you're awesome.

Victruso 179 Posted April 30, 2018 Actually, one more idea to toss to you guys- CTRG gets tactical vests and faceplate visors+thermals, going up against a chinese super operators with integrated NVGs, fully coverage body armor, and a dual-weapon. So, why not change that and add an improved, "lighter" armor system. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well I don't wanna spoil anything or speak too soon, but along with some of the real-world factions that I'm working on, I also have a few side-projects that are being made as well...which includes some factions from some of my all time favorite series. So may have something right up that alley, and is also a big reason why I'm looking to do some female characters/gear as well: Spoiler I'm a big Clancy fan. Own/read/watched/played nearly all of his books, movies, and games. Also a big Marvel fan (Infinity War was EPIC!!!), but not quite so sure that fits real well in Arma, lol. 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hvymtal 1251 Posted April 30, 2018 I always thought the Ghosts were a better fit as a CTRG counterpart than just 'MURIKAN CTRG. Remember, though, while you, like the gobbos, hav lotz o' planz, don't get stuck in the hole of trying to do everything at once, no matter how fast Saiho's turnaround time is. As for the female gear, I think there's a lovely British "lady" who might be able to help you with that.
