LOBO ARAB INSURGENT & ARAB CIVILIAN PACK

[miles teg 1]

On orders from the Lost Brothers High Command, we have decided to release 18 Arab insurgents from Camp Harddrive along with 32 Arab civilian prisoners.  These individuals may be found on Middle East maps throughout the OFP world.  The militants are to be considered potentially hostile but may be used as allies if you are fighting some hopeless civil war such as against the corrupt government of Nogova.

The civilians on the other hand are mostly individuals that can either be friendly or not so friendly...but regardless usually end up getting caught in the middle of conflicts.

Below are some of the features found on these Arab units:

18 Arab militant models

32 Civilians (including two Arab women)

1 VBE (Vehicle Born Explosives) van that is basically a suicide bomber's van.

2 AKM/AK47 rifles (one previous released as a standalone rifle).

1 LoBo Sound pack featuring Arab voices

1 realistic demo mission included requiring only this addon and JAM2.

Features:

Militants yell out diffrent phrases in Arabic when hit.

Arab faces

The first Arab women in OFP

Wide range of clothes, weapons, and equipment.

Good Arab headdresses (which we first did in our Addon pack#2 but is now improved)

Molatov cocktail, bottle, and rock throwing civilians included.

Insurgents are on West, East, and Resistance for maximum versatility in missions.

Known Bugs:

Molatov cocktails may cause a CTD if more then one is put in a mission.

Some LOD's revert to different units.

Some clippiing through robes or through gear.

Addons Required:

JAM2

JAM2 Link1

Jam2 Link2

Special Thanks to:  Calm Terror, Newiy, & Thunderbird84 as well as to Blackdog for hosting it at least until other sites start hosting.   If anyone else can make some mirriors that would be great!

Yahuuu ˇˇˇpresta,presta....

finally i made a real good mission in Cat afghanistan....

[Shalashaska 0]

Haha! Awsome!

Thank you for including them on every side, as to play the versatile role of irregular fighting force.

[belgerot 33]

Very nice I have to say, looks like I will be having fun tonight with these First time playing a desert map in a month atleast..

[Thunderbird 0]

Yeah , it's a nice pack and the mission is well done...

[CanadianTerror 0]

I know you didnt make it but that Hilux is friggin painful looking.

No changes to it what so ever to improve it and no camo?

[miles teg 1]

Actually there were a bunch of fixes to it...but remember we have no dedicated modeller in our mod.  But if anyone wants to fix it up the model they're welcome to.   However we did not want to put cammo on it as generally terrorists and insurgents don't ride around in camoflaged vehicles except in movies.  Camoflaged vehicles would make the insurgents awefully easy to pick out in a city by enemy forces. All of the toyota pickups I've seen in Iraq and Afghanistan have always been either white, brown, or light blue....but most commonly white.

They dont ride around in showroom condition ones either if you want to be technical.

EDIT:

It's not so much the model, its the interior textures and the truck bed textures (well and the way too clean exterior). If you use old addons, thats fine with me...but at least retex it.

I love this pack! But am having some weird bug with the suicide car.

I tested it allot, and I can get it to drive up to some units on flat terrain no problem. It blows up and kills anything really close to it. Most troops 25+ ft. away are ok.

But when I try to get it to blow up something in the middle of the street, it goes all the way around it, and stops miles away.

Or I can be 500+yds away, it will blow up within 30ft of its target, not destroy it, yet kill me when I am lying down really far away.

I LOVE THIS PACK

so much variations

thanks again

Yeah I noticed that also...there are some dead spots in the explosive radius...although that happens in real life sometimes...where some people close to a explosion get lucky and are missed by the shrapnel or the force of the explosion is directed more in a different direction by a wall or something.

At least it makes things interesting. As for the waypoint problem....never had that but try putting a move waypoint right before and next to the destroy waypoint.

haha does it explode! hmmz going to check readme again!

Anyway they work nicely allong the other terrorist units! well done! some more targets!

[FA-MAS F1 0]

Tried the pack. Great work! Thanks a bunch!

I found a bug in the Hilux. When someone rides shotgun, there are too high on the seat. In other words, their heads will be sticking out of the roof of the car.

[miles teg 1]

Ooh...didn't notice that bug. Thanks! We should have an update with some new FX on the car bomb and some improved Arab voices. But before we release the update we'll fix that bug and test out the other cargo proxies as well to make sure they are all ok.

Thanks again!

Readme

good job on the addons i need to kill them  

[HuNtA 0]

Nice addon... but in view of public events.. kinda bad timing

or good timing depending on how you look at it

darn terrorists attacking London nearly killing friends dad

[miles teg 1]

Yeah no kidding. I hope the FBI don't come hunting me down thinking I posted the pack in celebration of events or something. I actually released the pack the day before the bombing on Tuesday I believe...then OFP.info release the pack on the same day as the bombing. Originally I was going to post it on the 4th of July but I thought that was in bad taste and Big Brother might think that was kinda unpatriotic of me.

Actually originally the pack was going to be released about two weeks ago, but we had little hold up regarding an update, but decided this week to just release it and patch it later with the updates.

So anyways...Just wanted to let you all know that 1. I nor anyone in the LoBo have any connection or sympathies to Islamic militants (to my knowledge) and 2. I by no means posted them in celebration of the horrific terrorist attack in London.

This pack is purely for the purpose of creating highly realistic modern Middle East missions and anti-terrorist missions. For LoBo, they will be used mainly to simulate Palistinian terrorists as well as Al-Qaeda terrorists in the Sinai peninsula who the Egyptian government are currently hunting. That is why we made them on the West side also. That way mission makers can use our cool looking Egyptian Counter-Terrorist team, Task Force 777, and our Arab insurgents to make some good anti-terrorist missions such as hostage rescue missions and things like that.

Good move on that Miles, but frankly I don't think anyone here would have even thought anything of that sort.

I like this pack, it provides a lot of diversity amongst the insurgents as to clothing and so on, and is a great addition to anyone playing in the Middle-Eastern theatre.

I haven't been too kind to these guys, especially after yesterday's events.

[miles teg 1]

For those of you who haven't tried it yet, I hope you'all try the mission that comes with the pack also.

I tried the singleplayer mission, and, while it had some nice scenes and all, it really wasn't an eye-opender. When my team touched down, they outran me and got themselves slaughtered. When I finally made it and got the terrorists, the civilians were more or less dead. By the way, were the civilians supossed to come with us or with another chopper?

It still makes an ok presentation of the units, and that's what counts, right?
