African Militia

[SASR Sabre 0]

I doubt african militiamen have helly kitty-tshirts

have you seen what some of them wear? a hello kitty shirt would be an improvment

[CanadianTerror 0]

Hello kitty camo would be even better than just a shirt.  

Some shirt ideas...

-Mr.T

-Charlies Angels

-Tonal flag

-Barney

-George Bush

Idea for a rebel t-shirt:

nice t-shirts icebreaker! i think african militias would be very poor so i think the shirt without any marking on it but same color would be better, or white T shirt with a few dirt spots here and there to show they have been in combat or something.

It would be SO cool if you could make these into a replacement pack!

Hey MadMedic,

Just a question mate - how hard is it to make the SLA guys with black faces?

I'm not being racist - I just think it'd suit the SLA guys a bit more

Can you perhaps give some advice on how to do the config please mate? I'm quite a noob with configs! Thanks very much

Download and install the african militia.

DePbo it and look at the config.cpp

Add the same eventhandler to any units you would want to have only black faces.

MAKE A BACKUP of "characters.pbo"

To make the SLA soldiers use the script, you would have to dePbo the "Characters.pbo"...and then UnRap the Config.bin to make a "config.cpp"...add the eventhandler...delete the original "config.bin"...then re-pbo the characters folder.

(You could also make units have only white faces by changing the array in the script to include only the white ones)

Technically its the southern area that has more desert with the Northern part of the Island being all temperate and European looking so the RACS guys should be black. But nobody likes killing good white folk and they don't want to fight on the side of the black people....so I guess thats why the SLA must be black instead. I think we should make the SLA all Asian faces.

Well, the entire Sahrani island-group seems to be latin-american or something, considering the names etc. However, the game seems to completely lack hispanic faces, strange.

Anyway, this is completely off-topic.

I guess I'll mention that I've got some textures for the militia ready, and will try to implement them in the next release

[CanadianTerror 0]

No kidding, the entire island should have hispanic faces...not white.

If anything, I imagine the north as having an army that would look more like the Cubans. Now, that'd be interesting.

[Snake Man 407]

Does the nameSound="Tango"; work in ArmA?

If it does wouldn't that be much better name for these units than civilian, it feels kind of out of place to hear AI calling "CIVILIAN is history" heh.

Good work, I like these units.

I'd just like to mention that I noticed that the white sedan in game has a license plate with arabic writing. If I were to guess, I'd say the Island is extremely neutral.

[Commando84 0]

yeah i think the island is very international at least the south part maybe its arab civilians who have settled and running some hotels or cafées or whatever you work with to make money and life go around

I'm using "this setface..." command in the init of BCM_Soeldner to make afro-rebels in a mission: all good in editor but if I pboes the folder mission and put it in game after the first save they turn into white faces....anyone may help?

thanks

Got issues with this on MP, when someone tries to join your server running african militia included mission, it gives "You cannot play/edit this mission, it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted.AFRICAN_insurgents"

Works fine of course if all other players have added the pbo in addons, but it just feels silly since there are default arma stuff... yea im running 1.08... could those faces changes or whatever cause this..? anyway nice pack, saves a lot of time.

I was under the impression that all of the players in a multiplayer game ALWAYS DID have to have the same addons.

How could multiple people playing online have the same game content if they dont have the same addons in their addon folders?

(I dont know much about multiplayer, because I never play online...but it would seem logical that everyone would need all the same addons)

[icebreakr 3159]

Our team is using African Militia in almost every mission now... its just great that we're not loosing time to run eqip civ scripts...

[Daniel 0]

Yep, these guys work well with Skavan's HD weapons too.

madmedic i guess your absolutely right, i dunno what i was thinking hehe :-P

I hope that this was only a joke...

I'm Argentine, Latinamerican, and almost all of us (white people) are Spanish, Italians (mostly of us), or from other Caucasian countrys from Europe, descendants. That only if we count the big inmigration in the 20-30 and the two postwars.

But i have an Arabic descendant friend (one of my best friends) and an African descendant (her mother and her father are a little black, but he has de aspect of an african person, that's why we joke that her mather has an affair when she went to Africa ) but they are the less.

We also have people from highly places, like the Norwest of our country, from Bolivia, Peru and Paraguay (there is a problem with them, like the Mexican-USA, but i don't want politics here).

I went to the Dominic Republic (a contry better to use like model than mine, more in the Atlantic) and almost all the guys were black, there were the white minority (the Hotel's managers or owner, or other power people, non locals, only a few middle-class people were white) and a Latin stile peple (like Porto Riquenian, well i have never been to Puerto Rico, i only guessing), without counting the tourist.

And well, that.

I think that the porcents have to be like this:

Native (killed by Portuguese or Spanish colonos): 25%

Latin-Caucasian (highly exposed to the tropical sun, and they are descendants of the first colonos): 30%

African American: 10%

Real Caucasian (new in the island, may be the first or the third generation): 15%

Mestizos (sons of Latin/Caucasian and a African/native): 20%

I put only a few Africans because territories owned by Spanish (like the wierdo spanish of the Saharni habitants speak) didn't have the law of "slavery" (may be they didn't have the law, but they trated the native and the few Africans like slaves).

And few natives because the Spanish kill almost ALL the native, damn bastard thy were, not now, but i could go back to the past i would sink the Santa Maria and doing that the Aztecs, Incas, and other natives could live in peace.

Or may be kick in the balls of Cortez, that would be more funny and in that way i don't have to kill anyone.

Well i digress a little in the end :P but i hope that the idea will be noticed.

BTW, sorry for my english!

EDIT: Other thing! I hope that nobody will be ofended with this post, i know that there are some people a little "susceptible", but i tried to be the most non-racist posible. My father is a racist and i was too and i'm very ashamed for that so i hope that nobody fell bad about my post, and if the case is that, know that it wasn't my intention, and i'm sorry.

good job keep one going untill the they releas the tools mybe olso som CIVIL cars whit MGs one them like real rebbels ?

hmm, cocoa rebels?

[granQ 293]

ok great idea.. and work but!!

You can do this all in config, no need to have scripts that runs.

First make a cfgfaces, make a "group" of faces called xxx_african or whatever. Then ín your soldiers config just write "faces=xxx_african".

Won't be home from work until much later, just started but check it out, if you don't get it I will post all you need.

GranQ, I think it's

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">faceType = "YOUR_FACE_CLASS";//

in the (custom) soldiers' classes. At least faces did not work for me. Thanks for the hint, however, I also could find instant use for your method.
