New Zealand SAS

[max power 21]

They're looking much closer!

If you want to tweak them further and don't want to edit the layer itself, you can always apply a hue and a saturation layer.

Looking good, is a Woodland on the way too?

@ nephilim / plaintiff1.

OK will lower saturation a bit. Thanks for the good advices

@ Stewy. No full woodland DPM uniforms in the pipeline yet. Will release the Desert DPM first, but maybe will equip some soldiers with pieces of woodland gear.

[...]full woodland DPM uniforms [...]

You should do those sometime. New Zealand '84 patt' DPM

would probably fit the Sahrani environment quite well. That

orangey-yellow it uses as a backing colour, would probably

match the scrubby desert areas nicely.

Here's just a small point regarding nomenclature; It's not

called "Woodland DPM" (not even in the New Zealand

forces). "Woodland" is the name for the pattern used on

the American M81 BDU suit. The British pattern is called

just "DPM" (or "DP"). The pattern you've done is officially

called "Desert DPM", and is a specialization of DPM made

by deleting some areas and recolouring others. "DPM" is

strictly a generic term but, for historical reasons, is used

specifically to denote the 4-colour temperate/tropical

pattern.

Thanks for these info

Plas, they're looking great - just one thing that's been bugging me - is that knee pad realistic with the cam on the hard plastic (on the knee)? I've never seen them like that before.

when do we get to use them?

[plasman 0]

Will modify the pads.

Meanwhile some other screenshots. Have lowered the saturation by 10%

What do you think?

when do we get to use them?

Hopefully this week (all going well)

These troops will require Tiger's Steyr AUG addon available at http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=811

nice info. my respect for your knowledge has just gone up a notch :-) -- although maybe my expectations for your personality have dropped :-) j/k.

good to see NZ stuff making its way into the game, and these uniforms do look really nice, more importantly their looking better with every post so its good to see people's input making a positive effect to the output.
