Aarg to bad that Lacarta is at last posistion

I really was looking forward to the tecnicals you guys made it would be very nice if you guys release only the tecnicals as standalone

Yea me too. I m not fan of CSLA, but Operation Lacerta was great looking mod. Its pitty that they stopped working on such good stuff.

they havent stopped just temporarily stopped

Take it easy, guys, we had a reason to stop Lacerta. Whinning makes no good to both you and this topic. Now go and criticise the CSLA units for a while.

The glasses are slightly out of angle and I find the beard offensive!

Nah I'm just kidding, and I was worried that the camo on that unit was final, but I'm glad it isn't (I wasn't too keen on it in CSLA2)

Looks very promising Edge! A bit of texture stretching on the upper arms but otherwise good.

Question: Will the armpatches be part of the arm textures or is it one of those "external" types? The reason I ask is that the ones that are not part of the integral armtextures get missaligned when ever you use custom anims.

I know. But do you realise what temporary stop means? Very small chance that they will release it before OFP2 .

Well can you share us a little information about this reason? Just a little to fullfil my curiosity.

[CanadianTerror 0]

They probably have more than 1 project being worked on.

I dont think it matters what the reason is. They would make Lacerta and release it if they could...wouldnt you think?  

Although, I do have to admit I have a bit of a beef when a good project gets pimped out and posted about so much and then "stopped"...who wouldnt?

Well it maters because we can asume probable release time. If it's engine or lack of staff problem then we may not see it in a year or so, but if it's something that can be quickly fixed then I hope we can have it before OFP2 is released.

Ragarding the textures: As I said, those you see on the pics are just placeholders for the new textures we are currently working on. The problem with this camo is that it is "naturaly ugly", but we will do our best to produce better texture. It will be based on photographed pattern, and I will personally add some folding and shading according to the photos. So it will be still really ugly raindrop pattern, but overall look of the soldiers shall be better.

Paratrooper armpatch: We have made a separate patch with possibility to change patches in realistic way (various sub-units of Paratroop Recon regiment had various colours), but due to the technical problems with animations (e.g. distortion of the patch, overlaying of model parts), we agreed on having one-colour fixed patch painted on the texture.

feed us with more pics

Here we go! Some fresh pics from Maa's last-nights work...

Mechanized/light infantry rifleman.

Yeah, it's a real shame they used this pattern and I hate it. I'm still gonna use your mod, though. I love the units. You can't help that this is the pattern they used.

btw; thank god the lacarte pattern looks better

[USSR-=SpETZNaTZ 0]

looking Great edge, i love you guys

[CanadianTerror 0]

Troops look great.

Did you guys get a chance to sample any new weapon sounds by any chance for this version?

[Airbourne Alchaholic 0]

I can't get enough of the weapons! Looking supa!

Btw is the standard OFP anim file going to be used or are you making/borrowing a new one?

[Airbourne Alchaholic 0]

Hey sry to double post but...

Any news? It's been quiet the past week and I'm starting to get a bit curious...

Either that or you're working hard on the mod

[jotte 0]

Will the helmet(s) be reworked? Or are you sticking with the "thick shelled" ones similar to original ofp?

tell you what

Just because a mod doesn't post pictures for a week or say this or that, it doesn't mean it's dead So-called addon makers, which seem to have a higher status or something immortal with them for some of the people here, are nothing more than normal people with families, friends, work, hobbies etc. No-one can be bothered to work on OFP addons every day only that he can show pictures to you every week or two.

Even if a mod doesn't post anything for a month, it doesn't necessarily mean it's dead. It probably only means that the modders are way too busy in RL to do anything that they could show to you. Keep that in mind

[Tomislav 0]

it wasn't even a week, only 6 days, but the rest you say is completly right hardrock

[Gedis 0]

hardrock, true true...

but we are also humans, we are very interested in what they are making, what are the news and etc. You see, we are like sharks which you need to feed with meat, just because we don't eat you

Roger on the helmet Maa. Was just curiouse.

Speaking of west replacments, while your at it, how about using the HYK 85 soldier model as west soldier replacment? HYK was happy to let anyone use it as long as he is credited.
