Iranian soldiers

[bucket man 2]

Im currently working on iranian army soldiers aswell as IRGC (Iranian Revolutinary Guard Corps?) soldiers.

Models are from IMUC mod and I just today got their permission for release. Except screens within 24 hours.

I however need some assistance. First is a good G3 rifle. HK pack had those but I cat find it anywhere. Link would be nice.

Second thing is the Iranian Army "logo". The thing that all army personel have on their unifroms regardles of rank. So far I have found only few pictures and they have been taken too a far away so the patch is not clearly visible.

The same thing for the IRGC would be nice also.

Iranian Revolutionary Guard troops on guard with their copy of the US woodland camo pattern.

Try not to pay any attention to the iraqi rebublican guard shoulder padges. I will change them as soon as I find an iranian IRGC padge.

Iranian soldiers carry a mix of US,German,and Russian weapons. I just thought I'd help out.

[bucket man 2]

I know. Most common rifle is the G3 that is manufactured in Iran. Second most common is the AK47/AKM variant also manufactured in Iran.

They also manufacture a copy of MG-3 wich is brobably the most used LMG in the iranian army. PK is quite used too I think. I believe they also make a copy of MP-5.

Im having hard time making the iranian dot camo. Its very similar to the older aussie pattern. If anyone has the spare time and texturing expertise to make a dot camo then throw me with a PM.

copy copy copy, lol, this Iranians aren't very original.(Edit, I don't meen your addon project, I meen the real Iranian army,lol.)

I'm interested in a G3 too, a nice one. The ones in the H&K pack from Lobo team are good, but I only wish they update the pack. Maybe you could contact them and see if they would give you permission to update the pack.

An OPFOR weapons pack would be a good idea. Something containing, G3, FNFALs, AKs, Shotguns, etc, something of the quality of the weapons we are getting nowdays.

There is some packs around allready, but there is allways a problem with them.

Well Cero my Iranians are somewhat of a copy from IMUCs iraqis too.

My addon making skills are pretty close to zero so I pretty much take what others have done, alter it as much as is needed and what my skills enable me to do and ask their permission to release it.

Sounds like a lot of countries...how many AK47 clones are there around the world these days?

-China

-Finland

-Romania

-Yugoslavia

etc etc...

Just make sure not to overwrite the original IMUC files.

They have also been supplied with with M-16A1 rifles and M-60 GPMG during the time of the Shah and are still used today.

[bucket man 2]

Really? I have never seen pics of them with M16n's or M60's.

It might be that the M60's were delivered with the numerous US MBT's and APC's they have.

[SFWanabe 0]

Well its all in the package that we give everyone. If we give them tanks,APCs,choppers,and jets then we also give them small arms too.

Too bad we don't rig them with tamper esistant tracking devices and remote-detonated explosives first. Would save us a lot of time.

Ah yeah I know, the Chinese are good at that too, you are right.

@ Bucket man, if you can alter others work then you should really contact Lobo team and see if they let you use their G3 model, just give the model a revamp.

Lol, that's a good one, but you would be surprised where the tracking would end up.

Iranian soldiers watch the oil fields set in flames by retreating iraqis.

The new desert dot camo needs alot of work. Currently im not very happy about the way it turned up.

[SFWanabe 0]

SWWWWEEEEEEETTTTTTTTT!!!!!!

I do like these pics as they are at the moment - but they can only get better with improvement. Keep up the good work!

Aw... its a pity you didn't get in contact with Ironsight who was already working on Iranian soldiers for LoBo.  We already have an Alpha Iran/Iraq map and we have most of the vehicles in our mod are used by Iran and would just need some minor changes to convert them to Iranian forces.

These  include, the M60, EE-11, EE-9, Scorpion, BMP-1, BMP-2, various AKM's, T-55s, MI-8's.  

But oh well.  If Ironsight hasn't gotten too far on his stuff we'll probably cancel the Iranian project and just wait on the IM:UC mod, especially since we have not gotten permission from ORCs to use some of the important desert building objects on our map so we may not be able to release it without a major rework of the map anyways.

But I'm still going to check with ORCs again to see.  We've already removed their objects from our Sinai update, but if they do give us approval we will release the Iran/Iraq map in a rough beta form.  It has some nice overpasses and cool signs that would be a pity to waste after all the work Calm Terror put into it.

I asked about the Iranians from Ironsight in some thread, I think it was LoBo mods own thread, and he said theres very little or no progress made on the Iranians.

Progress report: Just found an pasdaran shoulder badge and Im right now replacing the red triangle with it. If I get it ready I will post screens in the morning.

[miles teg 1]

Will your guys get vehicles? I would highly recommend that you make them as part of the IM:UC mod. One reason why we wanted Ironsight to make them part of our mod is so that it would only require minor texture reworking to modify our existing Jordanian and Egyptian vehicles into Iranian vehicles or at least something close.

They would be dependent of coarse on the rest of the LoBo mod models and textures, but it would save alot of time not having to rename the texture paths for all the models.

Anyhoo...

My main point is that it kinda sucks not having tanks, APC's, and helicopters for the Iranians.

If anyone was to do it as part of our mod, they would have full access to all of the addons that we edited from other mods which we already have gotten permission to edit. This saves an addon maker from having to spend sometimes months making a single addon from scratch.

But if the IM:UC mod already has a bunch of vehicles (like the stuff from the OPGWC mod for example) then I would recommend that you work with them in integrating your Iranians with their mod.

Miles, this is for Iranian units. You are posting pics of US and Iraq units.

Im sorry, you are   from doing that.

@Bucket man

Are the helmets getting a retexture as well?

[kikill 0]

iwas working on an iranian f4e a few times ago. it is based on footmunch's f4 of course

[Ironsight 1]

My soldiers were still far from done. These look pretty nice Bucket man. I suggest you team up with Lost Brothers so that they still can make their Iraq/Iran theme happen.

If you are interested I have a Boragh APC somewhere sitting on my computer. Maybe nice to go along with your troops

[bucket man 2]

Helmets brobably wont get a retexture because its really not necessary but anything can happen .

Kikill why didnt you release that F4? Looks very nice and it would go well with my iranians.

Footmunch has other planes that are in iranian use like F5, F14 and MiG-21.

Basically they all need a retexture work and thats it.

OK I have slight broblem with Photoshop.

I make a new file that is transparent and then copypaste the pasdaran badge on top.

Everything goes smoothly until its saved and all the transparency is gone.

Make sure the image has an alpha channel, and then save it to .paa

EDIT:

Or fill the space you want to make transperant with 255 0 255 (R-G-B)collor. Save it as .gif and then save it as .pac

[Chris Death 0]

Or if you are using photoshop 7.0, then upgrade to version

7.01 as 7.0 has a bug when trying to save alpha channels

to tga format.
