ArmA photography - Questions&Comments

I think tankcommander took a real life picture and then threw in some

units and a tank with photoshop. The picture looks great though.

[sphoenix 11]

Affirmative.

Thnx lennard for pointing out that I mistakenly used the wrong national Iraq flag

Checks now every addon I have with a flag on it....luckely I only did it on the plane

Can`t be bothered with it...it`s a already a forgotten reskin(s)

the shots are old already.

Had nothing new to show

[Guest Ti0n3r]

NSXr, the CWR pics look sweet. Keep posting

Great a parvus repost and it`s over the limit..that`s a ban with your WL`s and the last warning you got from a moderator kristian

but you have still 2 chances..change the pic and make it under 100kb

@MODUL

That was a great story. I am a big fan of Stargate and have been watching them all in sequence lately. That is a unique twist on it and history.

DK||SES|| what do you have there? Is that a Leo?

Challenger 2. From VBS2 I believe.

[dk-vcb 31]

thats right forgot to put that in...

HUBBA HUBBA CHALLY? Is it getting released by any chance?

[EDIT]

Aw shucks. My hopes crushed.

[Blue_Flight 0]

It isn´t allowed to post VBS2 pics in the CP thread, look on page 1.

Especially when you see the good looking tank and you think: Yeah a grat looking new addon and then: It´s VBS

[the_shadow 0]

actually i think the pic is from ArmA, but the chally might be imported from VBS2 (for personal use i guess).

and then i see nothing really wrong with it.

[Messiah 2]

I'd be surprised at that, given its all encrypted, and uses different classnames and class bases that aren't available in ArmA.

[edit]He's removed it now, so not much use mulling over it now

[dk-vcb 31]

hmm

nice crusaders, icewindo. but halberts are so much late middle ages, as they only made sense against plate harness.

at the time of the crusades, european knights still used ring armor like the romans (plus the innovation of stapedes providing a fixed position in the saddle and thus enabling the europeans to use their lances more effectifely than the romans ever did...)

the seljuks at that time mainly used light and fast cavalry, btw, so no use for halberts at all.

full chain mail for soldiers on foot was a bit too heavy - and too expensive. leather, scale and lamellae armor are more appropriate. similar for armored shoes... not in use at that time at all.

the helmets look very accurate though.

in a nutshell, ditch the chain mail coverall, the halberts and the "shoe armor" if you care about "accuracy", keep them if you don't care. units definately look cool like that, maybe inspired by some movie??

anyway, making those guys work right ingame is a rewarding and difficult task in itself. keep it up!

Thanks for the input, but as you seem more skilled in the historical facts I have some further questions for you .

Well yeah considering that I started creating addons one month ago the "attacking thing" might take a while, but I'm "confident" that it will be done "some day", as there were many mods for ofp (JPmod, Starship Troopers Mod, that Jedi Knight Addon, Napaleonic mod, civil war mod, alien addons) that had also the AI attacking in melee, some even managed to get horse combat to work.

I also have a longbow model (+ a somewhat model of a archer) does the design fit ?

The helmet bases on the stuff of this guy (he's amazing, created a > 27000 rings chain mail and a helmet by himself) although the texture doesn't look like it yet (adding the teutonic textures shouldn't be much of a problem):

http://www.medieval-crusader.de/

Click persona to see some good pictures of his equipment, it's frame-based so I can't link direct .

If you click on "Mittelalter" on the right site there's alot of information about the clothing and other stuff (my crusaders look sort of thin compared to the pictures)

You can also see a mace there, was it used often? And where does the dagger as secondary equipment go (scabbard of the sword on the right)?

I get your point about the chainmail now, walking with 45kg or more on foot in the desert was surely not the right thing, do these look allright?

And was the armor covering just the upper body like in the pictures?

[R0adki11 3949]

@Icewindo love the Crusaders, i think a mod about such a conflict as the crusades would be interesting

[Wolfrug 0]

Check out SLX Icewindo : working melee attacks there Better than nothing, eh?

Looking good! Always nice to get some new stuff!

Great one MrBurns and only 5fps?

Sadly yes. And that with a viewdistance of only 60 or 100 thousand on my 7 year old rig ...

but the worst thing is that ArmA wouldnt run on my DX4 at all i hate BIS for this

[ingram 258]

Well this image still looks great mate
