Munk 0 Posted January 15, 2005 @MunkYou asked for it. Expect a BETA package Saturday night (CET). Â You mean today right? RIGHT!?!? Edit: You'll probably be better off sending it all over msn (munk_d@hotmail.com) and as Pathy said below, you can trust the lads... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pathy 0 Posted January 15, 2005 Thanks BB, the RAAB lads are all trustworthy (and threatened with a boot up thier arse if they do anything unsavoury with em ) and will put em completely thru their paces. If theres a bug in there regarding MP, you'll hear it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blackblood 0 Posted January 18, 2005 Paras with helmets are also included. The ribbon (on helmet) can be removed for a more regular look. If all goes well, there will be a very nice bonus added to these blokes when it's time for release (still sceeming with the author of that addon)... *WARNING! MOANING AND GROANING BELOW* Another thing that REALLY needs to be said again and again: "Borrowing", "Cut 'n paste", downright stealing is NEVER ok. And it's not sufficient to just drop the line : "I couldn't get a hold of addonmaker X in order to get permission" etc. I've seen a lot of things with an extremely familiar look on it (not necessarily my stuff) and it really gets me thinking; Why the xxxx don't they use the models as reference and actually learn from it instead of just snatching it. That's how I did it. Hell, i've been diggin thru BAS models, Lowlands warrior, you name it, just to learn how things are attached and defined. Trust me, it's much more rewarding at the end. Furthermore why should I be Mr Honest and make everything from scratch when it seems very few does the same..."Wow this guy's got delusions of grandure ranting about like that", you might think. Well just ask any original addon maker who spends countless of hours, sweating, cursing and finally share his work just to see it plundered by lazy dudes out there. Noone's laughing... Yes my BETA 0.5 from 2003 had very few bits and pieces from elsewhere (boot textures), but I like to emphasize "BETA". I stated clearly in the readme that everything was gonna be remade before the final release. The current version has nothing to do with the BETA. Enough of that. Just my share of late night cynicism. And for those of you who actually asked - disregard this as it has nothing to do with you. *MOANING AND GROANING ENDS HERE* If I still got any friends out there, I'll see you on wednesday with fresh news.

Silent N Deadly 0 Posted January 19, 2005 Not really. You can always make a mission with the avalible units and then just simply replace them when the new ones are out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZIKAN 0 Posted January 19, 2005 Sterling job! I like the randomizing for the units, but will you be including some Game Logics for the different appearances, for lazy mission editors like myself? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cpt. FrostBite 0 Posted January 19, 2005 DAMN! I'm sorry but I just have to say this; The guys who don't have the PRR on their heads, still have the PRR attached to the shoulderpart of their webgear. Personally I think you shouldn't randomize the PRR's headset, since it is already used a lot in RL and ultimately every soldier in a combatzone get's one (when on duty). Among special forces this was already quite commen (note that US army rangers and Seals already had comm-systems like the PRR 10 years ago for example). So for SAS and regular troops the PRR is or will be a standard part of the gear. It's the only effective way to talk to eachother on a distance without having to shout or use handsignals (although this will never disappear) Units look absolutely awesome, btw. I love the little pouch on the upperarm in the textures! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why so sorry? That's indeed valuable information! Didn't know it was already that common in the field. The PRR stays on their little shaved heads from now on. @Messiah Will knit nets to the nuts in notime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blackblood 0 Posted January 19, 2005 I love the little pouch on the upperarm in the textures! If you mean the painted pocket, that´s the photoshop plugin from BAS. Excellent stuff. Applies wrinkles to textures etc. All credit to them gurus! IF you mean the PRR pouch, that's my work (textures from flecktarn.co.uk) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cpt. FrostBite 0 Posted January 19, 2005 In that case I meant both  Thank god for that BAS stuff. edit; In afghanistan the PRR was first used on large scale by british forces. The PRR is indeed what is says it is; a personal radio. EVERY soldier in a platoon has one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
