CameronMcDonald 146 Posted February 13, 2008 Might just check that. I think it was just a bad stroke of luck in that pic, though. :P EDIT: Yeah, faces are all good, just bad luck on my behalf. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CameronMcDonald 146 Posted February 13, 2008 The ACHs are, of course, custom models - didn't think I was gonna stand with those USMC LWH PASGT wannabes, did you? That's not the best angle to show them off, though. The boots are the BIS model, though I'm doing my best to turn them into Belleville DWCBs via textures. Well spotted. And the font used on the nametape? Well, the ones I have are taken from real pictures, as I didn't trust myself to write them. There seems to be a variety of fonts in use.

Shadow NX 1 Posted February 13, 2008 Im hard to please when it comes to addons but i have to say that these units are excellent looking. All the tiny details, im really impressed. Way to go Cam & Anonymous modeller Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
icehollow 0 Posted February 13, 2008 These look f**king brilliant! Can't wait for release. I was impressed by jonny's marines but they were detrimental to performance when any considerable number were on screen, however from what I read these will perform great. Attention modder's: this is what we need more of, not more reskins. Top notch stuff. Hopefully someone does some new Aussie soldier models (*hint hint*) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CameronMcDonald 146 Posted February 13, 2008 Truly. Ta for the kind words. I'm giving everyone the new boot texture now, with varying degrees of wear + dirt, so at least they won't look like jungle boots, even though they're a bit short. :P @icehollow - I wouldn't despair about the Marines, Jonny's still working on them, and they'll run even BETTER than my dudes when he's done.

wipman 1 Posted February 13, 2008 Hi, about the name tapes... wouldn't work to add a pathed .paa texture inside the C:\ArmA\nametape.paa just blank so the players could edit it and put they're name on it?, or it wouldn't work due that some players don't have the ArmA installed into they're C:\ drive?.

Clavicula_nox4817 0 Posted February 13, 2008 Cam, they look great. Please, don't stress yourself out over dates or anything like that.

They look exactly like one pair I was issued.Dont fall for the same trap others have before, it will only burn you out. Enjoy your hobby at your own pace and have fun at it, heaven can wait, so can we . Well said guys. With all the time and work that has gone into these units it's hard for me to fathom that others may not feel the same way. It's really unfortunate. I'm glad to hear about the boot textures Cam. It's another improvement but to be honest I would not have cared either. By the looks of the screens, the overall all unit is so well done I bet I would ever notice if he boots were wrong. And I've logged some serious quality with those kicks. I just so damn nice to see a well made replica, you won't hear a peep of discontent from my pie-hole. Of course, that's if all of those remarkable teaser screen shots are real. (kiddingof course, NSX. ) Oh yeah, back to my point.... I concur with the "take your time until you feel they are finished" sentiment. I'm happy simply knowing they are in the works. Off course when that day ultimately arrives....... .... .... .... EDIT: Cam, they look great. Please, don't stress yourself out over dates or anything like that. Also, I don't see any problem with the boots, can someone explain to me what's wrong with these boots? They look exactly like one pair I was issued. After rereading your post I realized I guess I never really paid any attention to the BIS boots. Well a short glance later and I gotta agree with you once again. No wonder I never paid much attention to them, they really don't look too bad. Mind you it was just a brief look, but nothing that wrong jumped out at me. I too am curious to find out what problems others have noticed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HotShot 0 Posted February 14, 2008 Considering the nametags it would be cool if it entered the last part of the players name such as so many people (the SP people) just put their actual name in and they space it so it just places that part in the name tag. But I dont think ArmA can do that. I dont mind if soldiers dont even have name tags. Cant. Tried it I realise Cameron has ruled out random nametags appearing, but this is a work around for VBS1 which MAY work in Armed Assault. Quoted from SnowFella on VBS forums: Quote[/b] ]That very same thing with custom faces and name patches acctually also work in MP, the spots used for the names are "free" on the original face textures asfar as I know and if you edit in your name there on your own custom face it will show up on any Marine model in MP. It works for some Marines which they released recently. (See here) I'm not sure what the coding/texture path is for the nametag space on the model was however. Further, the face textures have a different layout for AA so I dont know if there is space now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maddmatt 1 Posted February 14, 2008 Customisable nametags seem pointless to me. Nobody is going to check them out in game and few people are going to bother making their own. I'm sure there are more important things to spend the time on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
