canis lupus 20 Posted March 13, 2008 well I didn't plan to make regualr civilians even though I'm not the biggest fan of the ones in arma, I did plan to make some civilians looking like they are dominated by the guy's who has taken over, not sure if they should be in the same uniform like clothes, like in HL2 and Equilibrium or if they should just be worn down and rough civilian clothes I'm working on the Opfor units now and will release them as a seperate addon, it will still require the freedom fighters though...

madrussian 347 Posted March 13, 2008 Cool.  Can wait for the opfor!  Out of curiosity, how do you plan on differentiating them from the good guys? not sure if they should be in the same uniform like clothes, like in HL2 and Equilibrium or if they should just be worn down and rough civilian clothes If it’s not too much work, why not some of each?  If you have to pick, I’d go for the worn down civ clothes… as I think they’d be more versatile for mission makers. Well, keep up the good work, making the apocolypse for ArmA a reality and all.  You’ve made a lot of people very happy so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wolfrug 0 Posted March 13, 2008 Oh yes, and...WOMEN! If you can do anything with the Marian Quandt body as a base, or maybe just model a new woman from scratch, that'd be absolutely rad. Would also be a first for ArmA! As said, keep up the good work! Regards, Wolfrug Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canis lupus 20 Posted March 13, 2008 I tried that already, had the same idea the addon need women badly... but the maria model is totaly screwed up, if you put it in the game the hands are... well kind of all over the place... I'm going to experiment some more with it but it seems like the model is useless... need to learn to make weapons as well I really want to see some of them with hunting rifles and a sawn-off shotgun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wolfrug 0 Posted March 13, 2008 Too bad with the Maria model, but I figured as much. Otherwise we'd've had females in ArmA already I suppose. Guess it's just a matter of a complete start from scratch then Planning on including groups & blood textures in your next update? Also, although I suppose that might just balloon the size of the addon into oblivion and back, how about giving the RPG-backpack to some other variations of soldiers as well? Right now he's a bit alone, although it does look very cool. And finally, a comment about the winter soldiers: considering how much time you've spent on dirtying down the other units, these guys are weddingdress-white Which is not going to happen after a couple of days/weeks/months/years in the field. If you want inspiration for how to dirty down white, the best I can give you is FDF mod for OFP's WW2 winter camo : Image 1 Argh. Google is not being forthcoming with more pictures, sadly, but that one sort of gives the idea anyway. Best viewed in-game of course Yes - modern winter camo will often be made out of some random non-sticky windproof material that doesn't get dirty easily, but as far as I can tell the guys you've got seem to just be wearing normal white jackets of some kind, so... But yes : keep up the good work! Great units indeed! Regards, Wolfrug Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canis lupus 20 Posted March 14, 2008 The opfor will have the same uniforms, indicating that they are well organized, they will wear armbands wich indicate that they are memebers of an organization and not an army, there will be nice and clean looking leaders, using the opfor officers models, they will also have the same weapons but not from the same country, the main riflemen will have G36c's and another will have AK's but not the big varition like the others... not sure how much relevance this has got to post-apocalypse strugles but I just loved the idea of an exploding teddybear also in use on a webbing... and there's some good news for you Wolfrug, guess what it is...

Snake Raper 0 Posted March 14, 2008 Women that throw exploding teddy bears, I think you will win the originality award for this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canis lupus 20 Posted March 14, 2008 teddy grenades... would look great, a nice comic releaf compared to my next line of ideas, some atmospheric objects, so far a destroyed pram and a burned doll, hopefully giving the mod a creepy touch to it... some better screens of the armed maria model you might call this a bit of a waste but its pretty clear that its female eyes above the mask an personally I think that looks awesome, this one is just a test though got some rough edges Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snake Raper 0 Posted March 14, 2008 She looks pretty good so far. I was playing a bit more with your last "publish" and I noticed an odd movement of the "chest rig" on light fighter3 T-shirt. The 4 pouches move in and out as he walks while the same set up on light fighter army webbings2 does not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

icebreakr 3156 Posted March 14, 2008 Tested your units yesterday - working just nicely. That black camo works fine for special police unit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canis lupus 20 Posted March 14, 2008 thank you all for the kind words... @Snake Raper I missed that because only some of the units have that bug, it has been corrected now though, I simply attached them to the wrong parts... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mr burns 131 Posted March 14, 2008 and then I have a request for you all, picture the scenario that the third world war has broken out and its all gone very bad, the people know the end is near and start postig notes on poster colums to their friends and family... what would these notes say any idea will do need a lot of them... http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped....ler.jpg http://www.br23.net/en/wp-content/reichstag_tiles_with_graffitti.jpg http://picasaweb.google.com/carmell....6545410 http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped....iti.jpg Something like this?

canis lupus 20 Posted March 14, 2008 exactly like that mr. Burns, what I had in mind was for all who could be interested to make one personally for me, I figured it would be a nice way for all you guy's to contribute to this addon and you'll of course get mentioned in the credits... another reason is that if I use something I find on pictures like those I'll be using someones real life missery and I don't really like that idea...

CURSOR 0 Posted March 15, 2008 yo these r the shizzle, are the black geared soldiers in the pack also? what is the class name? if not please release them! thanks... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canis lupus 20 Posted March 15, 2008 they are in the pack their class names should be "free4" and "free5" I made them as simple numbers to make it easier to add new ones to the config its just a lot harder to find one specific one again, hope I gave you the right answer otherwise just try some numbers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Halochief89 0 Posted March 15, 2008 mentioning the walls you could have 3 versions of the graffiti and whats happening such as just a resistance against a communist force so the writings are cursing the enemy force. Another such as in War of the Worlds either a sad one of the dead or cursing the aliens saying like go back to your home planet or something like that. And for zombies it would be mostly sad like "here lies so and so who sucumbed to the infection" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canis lupus 20 Posted March 16, 2008 I have been playing arround with the idea of graffiti, but I would need a lot of objects for that... might make some smaller ones but hopefully there will be some sort of post-apocalypse map at some point wich would need graffiti like everywhere... I made another female model, might be hard to tell from the screenshot but I remodelled the face as much as I could added new hair and eye colors... the body has gotten a more female look but not too much since it should still look like its a thick lair of clothing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
