Ironsight's Libyan soldiers

[sanctuary 19]

I tried to make the face a bit less blurry than it was in my previous post

ingame result

Not really good though, i hope some more talented face makers could try to improve it.

[CanadianTerror 0]

Well you really brought out that big nasty mole on his face nicely.  

Good work on the Libyans Ironsight!  

A couple of things that could be added (classes)...

-Medic

-Sniper

-RPG soldier

-AT soldier

-AA soldier

-Pilot

- No groupings

-The hats disappear at a distance

EDIT: I believe the airowolf mod released a pack of choppers awhile back which included 3 versions of a Libyan helicoptor.

EDIT#2: Here

The top left is the Libyan version

[sputnik monroe 102]

The face looks good to me.

Rather than making a whole new head model just for old Kadafi, Perhaps his fuzzy hair cut could be replicated by making the hair a hat on the Kadafi model?

nice looking troops! I discovered the same things as CanadianTerror mentioned about them

first thing i do is to put out a group or two and then put out me as a lone soldier and then put out a squad of east , west or res troops to fight the other dudes

I would hope you could make 2-3 boats , 1-2 jets bombers , transport aircrafts and also technical. I think the rhs tanks had some iraqi t55's or something. Could maybe ask permission to mod your own Libya version of those? chinook could maybe take the bas blakchawk or bis chinook and do some big reskin work on it Don't know what kind of trucksthey got and apc's but i really hope you make some Libya army pack. Would be nice to have everything lybia themed the way like the SFP mod or bas tonahl pack. Just some sugestions i wouldn't be to sad if you didn't do it. I can find some other stuff and call them Lybia army vehicles as place holders

I turned mine into west resistance (just for laughs) gave em some west/east weapons, more versions and added some groups.

...well just for now as I cant be bothered with adding arab facepacks.

But ya, some red berets would be cool though. Just for some more variety.

the ORCS weapon pack has both the aks-47 and akms, plus they have those kick ass RPGs

I will add some more classes in the next version but for now I leave it to the mission maker. Groupings won't be added, I will leave that to the mission maker plus I rarely use those groupings myself

I will take a look at the hats, should be a small lodproblem.

Will add some vehicles in the future but no tanks since you can safely use Sigma's or RHS tank packs since Libyan tanks are painted in the same Russian OD scheme. You can also use Footmuch's flogger's IIRC he painted one in a Libyan camo scheme. You can also use his TU-22 with roundels.

I will add some vehicles in the future but till then you will have to do with those I mentioned above

Very nice work here Ironsight!

I cant wait for the updated version with middle-eastern faces and more soldier classes. Btw here is the camo that is used by Libyas Africa Corps. Would be quite unique camo pattern and in my opinion it would fit perfectly for some more elite units.

Very nice soldiers. But as the others said, for the love of god man, change the weapons to JAM or a smaller pack. Though SJBs weapons are indeed well done I have no interest in the majority of them and loading a 200mb addon for some AK47s is not nice...

Yeah I thought about including that patern but I wanted to keep it with green uniforms till now. However it's not unlikely I will include a set of soldiers in this uniform in the next version of the pack together with a woodland and desert patern

SJB is trying make one big pack for all kind of firearms so that people won't have to download hundred different kind of addons. I want to support that initiative so that's why I used the SJB weapons pack. In my opinion everyone should have SJB's weapon pack. And if you don't like his weapons: nothing is stopping you from changing it in the mission editor.

BTW: I hope to start modelling a landcruiser soon since I finally found a blueprint

Now that is splendid news, some nice (chad) technicals would be most welcomed, nothing could stop the "Toyota Wars" then.

I found this webpage, they present alot of chad units and the Toyotas, might be good for some reference.

http://www.libya-almostakbal.com/chadWar.htm

and please add enough cargo proxies for the chad landcruisers

Well the Toyota's will be for the Libyan's in the first place. Libya is a big landcruiser user, look at Libyan military parades. But I can always make some militia landcruisers too

By the way the website also shows Libyan troops

EDIT:

Militia humvee's

I know the US supported Chad but even flying in humvee's is crazy

I knew there was something strange about the green headgear

Definatly true, in the 80`s all civilian 4-wheel drives were confiscated to use them in the army. I am looking forward to the Landcruisers pack alot.

@Ironsight

I just wanted to say well done for sticking with SJBs weapon pack as i also think it's a good idea to try to have one weapon pack arming all sides...Also i'm supprised they don't already have the pack as some superb addons use it now..

What's up with the dudes eating raw rabbits?

lol

Also, those pics got me thinking how much the DMA Libya and DMA Afghanistan campaigns need a good ZU-23 for the opfor:

although same could be said for the equally prolific ZPU-2/4. Ghetto Humvee, lol:

I don't consider 2 AK (47 btw, do Libya even use them and not the AKM?) and the rest western weaponry "one big pack for all kinds of firearms".

But yeah sure, people can change weapons themselves.

I think SJB needs to make a separate pack for all his M4 variants, otherwise I would agree that it is a must-have and universally useful add-on.

Yes, you can do it, but take in mind that ofp registers all the necessary addons used by an addon like your in the mission sqm.file even if the unit is edited by the mission maker.

So if i used your Libyan soldiers for a mission the sjb pack is required even if i armed 'em with, for example, jam3 weapons.

I think this could limit the usage of this addon for eventual missions. Personally I would used 'em only if a jam version will be released.

BTW nice job!

That's to show how fearless/fearsome they are. In Sudan they tear appart a live chicken and eat it up. Pretty freaky if you ask me

They use AK-47's and FN MAG's. Now quit the crap about the firearms, don't like 'em don't use 'em.

Good news man congratulations

Feel free to hook up with me on the EDF board sometime or just send me a mail

Wow, that's gonna save me some work. Would love to use it, just tell me when it's done or if you need any help/layered files for them

About the other stuff. Landcruiser model is progressing nicely maybe I can show you guys a first WIP shot later today

[Ironsight 1]

A lot of work still needs to be done but here's an early WIP of the Landcruiser:

Looks good m8

And I hope you make some armed versions
