Conflict Zone Mindanao is back

[itim_tuko 0]

The CZM mod is back and here are some screens of our work in progress

First our AFP soldiers in a very early beta stage

The vehicles in Progress are the M113 FSV

and our M35

Most vehicles will only be released for the Game Armed Assault as f.x. the Gun Trucks are only possible there.

We planned to release a smaller mod with vehicles for OFP if there is interest for that. If so a beta is planned for end of August.

I'm sorry but i didn't hear of your mod before...what's it all about?

[itim_tuko 0]

Conflict Zone Mindanao i about the War on the island Mindanao in the southern Philippines.

The story of the Mod is about that a larger group of foreigners are kidnapped from a Hotel area by a Rebel group and the AFP (Armed Forces of the Philippines) has to free the hostages. US Soldiers who are on a joined exercise in the area are also attacked and a combined operation is started to destroy the rebel group.

We where online before but as our webserver suddently disapeared our mod fell a bit appart only a few left who are working more intense on it.

We would off course still be open for help of modders and texturers. We dont need any beta tester for now.

IIRC the philipine constitution forbids foreign soldiers in the country, whatever their purpose and origin.

the few US special forces who are on the phillipines in fact are officially military advisors. the government circumvented the constitution in this case with some doubtful legal contruction.

but a full scale practice with foreign troops isn't possible afaik.

good luck with your mod anyway

Did he ever say it was historical? It could be based on fiction.

Actually I know it . But we wont tell you the whole campaign story now.

And btw the story is fictional. And I didnt say what US troops and how many of them are involved (and how official that would be).

Here is a little progress of our work - sorry it isnt so much, but i was on vacation for a while.

Of course I continued on the M35:

Here is the basic body of the V300

and the body of our V150

They are looking cool, but maybe you should add more Sharp edges.

Cool stuff, I'm half Filipino, so it's nice to see Filipino stuff making it's way into OFP.

love the infantry camouflage

[itim_tuko 0]

What do you think of the 1m turret:

The 1m turret is used on several AFP vehicles, like the M113, V300 APC and the V150. Atm we are not sure if we also will rework Rothy's AAV7. If so the Turret will be reworked for the AAV.

There are still some minor parts mising of the outer hull and a variant with the Grenade launcher will be made too.

Here is a quick view on the V150 with the turret.

Time for an update.

After I had the chance to see the Armed Assualt demo on the Game Convention I thought that I should show some of the work we are making for the game.

This is the upgraded V150 which is used by Philippine Marines. It was a part of the Improvement programm which was launched in the beginning of 2006.

Soon the first pics of our skinned models will be shown, but first a little update.

[itim_tuko 0]

Texturing work for the M35 in the Philippine Marine camo is nearly done to 75% now.

Further I started work a while ago on the Simba.

As I wont be able to post some news for about a week here is some work we do as cooperation with a Vietnam mod.

[itim_tuko 0]

We are working some island at the moment.

We are concentrating on Mindanao for now:

Here are some pics of the Davao airport, but please note that the models shown here only are place holders and do for the moment only show the size and the form of the future buildings.

The Front building of the Davao terminal building.

The rear part.

The planes are there for comparing the size.

The view from the north at the whole airport

The work on the beta's of the Trucks are nearly finished.

Next step will be the AFP camo and then we will release a beta of our CZM trucks.

To soften up the waiting time here are some ingame pics of the M35 in Vietnam.

How's the Filipino stuff coming along?

How's the Filipino stuff coming along?

Im working at 3 textures for the AFP trucks at once. with a bit luck they should be finished end of next week and then we will post new pics.

Next on the list are the retexturing of the AIFV, M113 and the M151.

We expect to start on the new AFP troops next week hopefully.

The concept of the campaigns for ArmA is ready too, but we do actually dont know which of the campaigns will be released for OFP.

The beta for OFP is planned to come out end of december.
