Generic forces

[Imshi-Yallah 0]

How about some generic soldier packs that make use of some of the less common existing ofp weapons and units such as the FAL, or HK-weapons in tonal type packs with different themes...

for instance a lightly equipped jungle army (HK-33s anyone) or a heavily mechanised arctic force.

Projects like this would give budding addon makers a chance to get together with more experienced members of the community and find their feet without the pressures of someone telling them:

It would also bring the hundreds of really quite good addons that get ignored on their own into widespread use and easier availabillity.

The final advantage is that it would keep a steady stream of "big" releases coming for the community rather than a trickle of isolated addons coming out, getting tested then forgotten by the lionshare of players.

u seen aeanons FIA mod? that looks like it will be able to do that. Some generic artic troops in some big parkas would be very cool. I would kill for some cool arctic units like that.

Hardly the same as releasing a well rounded fictional army

So you want to make all kind of specialised soldiers/vehicles/army's? Something like an OPFOR pack?

Quote[/b] ]in tonal type packs

Im barely able to play a role in the Irish defence forces pack never mind this, I'm simply suggesting that more opfor packs would be a good way to get together and produce inclusive addon packs that will both make use of myriad existing addons and by standardising iencourage mission making.

Something like this:

Middle eastern type

- Middle eastern soldier model

- AK-47

- Old Russian armor

Africa type

- African soldier model

- All kind of weapons (FN FAL, AK etc.)

- Old Russian armor and technicals

You know what I mean

Actually I was thinkling maybe something a bit more off teh beaten path.

SE Asian army, lots of lighter counter insurgency type equipment, western equipment from the 70s and 80s.

S. American Guerrilla army with WW2 era small arms and civilian vehicles.

Arctic Mechanised army or mountain army.

Pacific island defence force that sort of thing.

I was thinking about the same thing. We need kinda generic terrorist packs, generic army packs...like in america's army. America's army has generic terrorists/countries for different kinds of maps.

This project sounds ace! If something happens, i could contribute in the Pacific DF bit with some info/texturing... I'm craving for PNGDF addons myself...

or ?

Not really. The "mercs" will not look like mercs (like most of the pics people post of US contractors), but are integrated into the Tonal Forces.

I think a pack like aeons pack thats in the works, or the resistance pack from edge I believe, would be nice. And a plus is that you can make whatever weapons loadouts you like as it's all fictional.

Here what i had in mind:

Generic middle eastern:

Generic Terrorist:

Generic army:

I know the next one is cardboard, just a good example...

question...where can i get this ofpor pack for OFP?

[BoweryBaker 0]

it comes with tonal i think. bas opfor. they're all black. they'd make good goons for the trouble makers mcmalden but realistically blacks don't always follow white leaders if its a gang. I think there needs to be more gangs. OFPHK1.75 had the mafia units with some amazing hardware, men in black came out for the fbi addon or perhaps mafia whichever you want them to be. Then comes Trouble Makers McMalden and BAS Opfor. These all make good terrorists. Terrorists as in your non military units. I think troublemakers was the best terrorist addon yet. They're more like a gang but they can count as terrorists if you want. I think a good mission idea for this pack would be a map with the sides in it of west, east and resistance who are friendly to noone. Resistance is the lone vigilante, west is the police forces, and east is the terrorist unit or gang. The goal of the terrorists would be to wipe out all opposition. The goal of the west would be they are just ai set on waypoint to go to each town, get out, patrol, and get back in again. The vigilante on the res side could be assigned on his own to kill all the terrorists. But it could be hard like, as a terrorist you could earn money to employ more mafia members. The only addon you would need for this would be your terrorists.

There is none-but there should be. Tonal is good for generic african forces, and the troublemakers pack is good for terrorists or something for police to chase, but there isn't really a complete opfor pack.

[Imshi-Yallah 0]

All a project like this would really need is someone to make soldier models, four or five texturers and whole hearted co-operation by various addonmakers and teams.

think about it children

[Sgt. Stryker 0]

yeah ofp needs some other enemies other than russians, i would realy love to see some snow parka units though, could be used for both good and bad.

AKM74's VIT_APC pack has some very good resistance troops in it that would make for good models to use for a generic OPFOR.

Just a thought.

They are Chechens.

I would like to have generic troops not just for OPFOR, the thing is that I like the Russian addons alot, and I'm not allways happy playing against Americans, Germans, Finish, British, etc.

A ficticional force for West would come rader handy aswell.

I wanted to make a pack for an idea I had, I even made a history for Sarugao. The forces inbolved were nationalists and rebels, like in Tonal, but in my version of Sarugao history it supose to be in the west of the Mediterranean between the Balearics and Sicily half way down to the south. There is reasons for that.

So an African militia wouldn't go with Sarugao at all.

Anyway, I don't have the skills for modelling so forget about it.

Another thing I love and we don't have is proper winter units, like somebody mentioned allready, new models, but nothing really like that its available.

Please, let someone lsten to this and take action

Regards.

I like the idea of Generic forces. Would be good for the resistance side. Like Various Guerrilla fighters using miss matched gear/weapons. I allways thought a guerrilla pack would be cool. And new weapon addons to go with em, like moltov cocktails.

[ebns72 0]

molotov cocktails...that just clicked something in my head...FDF has quite a few good opfor units I believe. They have a whole rebel/terrorist pack with their mod, not to mention somewhat disorganized "paramilatry" forces that can represent a generic army. Instead of having grenades they have molotov cocktails, which is what made me think of that

[rambozo 0]

Ah then I am off to download some FDF stuff.

But since they already exhist, then what we need most is missions to use them.
