King Tubby 0 Posted April 8, 2006 On a lot of soldiers, there are two white dots on the back of their helmets. This seems to have nothing to do with a specific addon, as it is present on many different soldiers. This is what it looks like: [EDIT: removed picture.] From left to right: BAS Delta HYK Desert soldier Laser Ranger SFTY Marine Closest to the camera is a para rifleman from the BLB Uk Troops pack. I have the latest versions of all these addons (to the best of my knowledge). Question is: Why are they there and how do i get rid of them? The dots only appear on helmets, i.e. not berets or hats. They are not present on all soldiers with helmets, only a few, some of which are on the picture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cpt. FrostBite 0 Posted April 8, 2006 D'OH!!!!!!!! Â Â Oh boy.. This in intented to be there. Those white boxes are called cat-eyes in real-life and are used by soldiers as a method to ID friendly soldiers and to make their position more visible during night-time. So every soldier behind you can so those cat-eyes and spot your position and ID you as friendly. SO IT'S NOT A BUG!! Â (and you can't get rid of them) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the_shadow 0 Posted April 8, 2006 thats becouse they are there deliberatly... a lot of soldiers IRL whear so called "cat eyes" on the back of their helmets, simply said it´s 2 white glowing dots that helps the fellow soldier behind you see where you are in the dark and therefor not loose you and the rest of the squad. not all countries have this though, mainly NATO countries.

shinRaiden 0 Posted April 8, 2006 What they said. And while you're at it, you'll want to bring that posted picture down to 100kb from 926.62kb before the mods take you off at the knees. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Tubby 0 Posted April 8, 2006 Thanks for the answer. That´s news to me actually, i´ve never heard about cat-eyes before. You must admit that they look like two spots of missing texture or something though. Sorry about the big file size also. I´ll take it down now since I got my question answered and everything.

hellfish6 7 Posted April 8, 2006 Wrong forum, but you get brownie points for having the name "King Tubby" - one of my favorite musicians ever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
