pang 0 Posted February 26, 2004 hi bas team,this is little off topic but i have one suggestion for you. Yesterday i saw "Black hawk down" movie, and when rangers make rappel in bakaras market i noticed that they go down more horizontally than your rappel script in blackhawks. One example, on this image ( from ofp combat photography) you can see what im saying, rangers go down too vertically[imghttp://users.tpg.com.au/adsl0fcx/260204/4.jpg[/img] and on this one you can see the difference: [imghttp://www.michigan.gov/images/UH-60rappel_16656_7.jpg[/img] Personally i think that looks much better the second image than the first one but i dont know how much difficult can have improve that stile of rappel. PD: Waiting for BAS week.... Â PD2: Sorry for my bad english, i hope u understand what i want to say with that two images i already edited the fastrope animations to more accurate ones: i moved the hands to chest- level and moved the left knee a bit behind the rope. unfortunately the animation was offset to the rope ingame but yes: the fastrope anims could need a bit of adjustment.

MLF 0 Posted February 26, 2004 just wondering if the hummers in the desert pack will include one that is tow equipped? i know marfy made one but because of engine limitations dropped it, but scripting it so that it has to stop to fire could allow you to make it a fixed model thus getting passed the dreaded engine limitation.

dm 9 Posted February 26, 2004 The fastrope anims, and some other bugs in the Blackhawks will be updated at some point, but NOT during BAS week. As for the desert pack, more news will come about that during BAS week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nilz 0 Posted February 26, 2004 Well, i have a very little criticism for you, BAS Shouldn't the Rangers and Deltas have an American flag on their shoulders? Will this come in the update? Pointless, really, but it sometimes grazes my eye Ahhh!!! I can't wait for the BAS week! ;) Will you dudes ever make a Black Hawk Down mod? (units [some are done already]; weapons; missions; campaign?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Messiah 2 Posted February 26, 2004 i thought SFG's didnt carry their countrys flags to allow deniability... well, i believe this is the case for the SAS at least - its hard to deny you're from America if you've got a damn flag on your uniform (this is delta im on about, i think rangers have flags - what do i know anyway) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dm 9 Posted February 26, 2004 Indeed, since both the Deltas and Rangers in our addons are made to depict units on "black" ops, they do not wear the US Flag whilst on missions. This has something to do with "deniability" as Messiah has said, but how you can't tell that this tanked-up soldier, wearing all the latest American kit ISNT American... Anyho, no flags this time round either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â Anyho, no flags this time round either. Alright, it's not a big thing anyways. But will you ever release any non-specop Deltas and Rangers? ... lol So, and what about the BHD mod i was asking about... something secret over there?

dm 9 Posted February 26, 2004 So, and what about the BHD mod i was asking about... something secret over there? Â didn't see that bit... skim reading... BHD... No. All our stuff is too new for BHD, we have no plans to, and probably wont make a BHD themed mod, sorry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Messiah 2 Posted February 26, 2004 not much point of a version with flags is there? you coudl always setobjecttexture the flag on the normal ranger units... cheers for comfirming my suspicions DM - although its true, a guy with an american accent with american equipment.... lol, who needs a flag Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebud 18 Posted February 26, 2004 I think Deadmeat needs to look at the textures again. They do have american flags on them, but built into the arm textures. Unless he took them out which I really didn't want. I made them part of the texture instead of a separate texture on purpose for quality control and for the fact that they ARE made to be us troops. This has been covered before so I won't really go into it much. And for the not wearing them due to deniability, for OFP it may be more realistic to take them off, but they look nice on the models.

Landwarrior87 0 Posted February 26, 2004 @Ebud Agreed. Ok for Delta i can see taking them off, but Rangers you should leave them one. I know you gusy only mentioned new "Models" of the interim update, are they going to use those textures i saw a while back in the OFP Combat Photo Thread, and the ones pic'd in Deadmeat's Sig?

ebud 18 Posted February 26, 2004 yes, those are the ones. Look at the soar woodland crew chief and imagine it in different gear. But that is the base woodland unit model. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dm 9 Posted February 26, 2004 D'oh, my bad... You dont notice the little things like that when you spend all day looking at the models... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThePara 0 Posted February 26, 2004 Typical SOP for SFOD-D, and SF guys (as far as I know)...don't really know about the Rangers is to sew patches of velcro onto their sleeves...normally where they have also sewn on the pockets on the arms. This velcro allows for SSI's (Shoulder Sleeve Insignia) such as the American flag, unit patch, etc etc to be attached and detached as needed. When on operations the only thing normally seen will be a blood type, infra-red tape for indentification (similar to cat-eyes on a helmet) and NKDA for (No Known Drug Allergies).

ebud 18 Posted February 27, 2004 I had all that on the sleeve pockets, but 10 guys running around with oneg on their arms looked silly. A random set would be a good solution for the next version. These have been done for about 8 months and haven't been touched until last week after DM saw the next iteration of them and we decided to just get these out as they are.
