canis lupus 20 Posted April 29, 2008 I got the idea to make a new and perhaps more realistic field reporter, slightly inspired by Ross Kemp in Afghanistan. there isn't much special about it, I would have liked to put some more to it but didn't really know what, its pretty much just a retexture of BIS' field reporter with a helmet. I hope moviemakers can put it to some use, since supershooter posted his viva la revolution movie I have been hopeing for some more news like movies so this is my contribute to that Download Link: http://rapidshare.com/files/111340352/Field_reporter.rar.html In case your woundering... the other units are a personal retexture/remodeling of the 3rd infantry division addon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
william1 0 Posted April 29, 2008 maybe "TV" or "PRESS" in the vest ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canis lupus 20 Posted April 29, 2008 I was thinking about that but after watching a lot of news programs from Iraq and Afghanistan I couldn't find one with that on their flak vests Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

monty67t 0 Posted April 29, 2008 Immediate mission idea: you have to get a photo of Paris Hilton as she's leaving the mall and you suddenly get ambushed by 100+ paparazzi trying to get the same photo! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jocko Flocko 0 Posted April 29, 2008 Did anyone ever port over any type of camera/weapon models for ArmA like Gummi's Camera Tool for OFP:R? Giving the dude a video camera or small handycam in the weapon slot would be awesome... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Juan 0 Posted April 30, 2008 This reminds me of the book "Black Nights" by Oliver Poole. Could turn up interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ArmaVidz 0 Posted April 30, 2008 This could come in handy for any film maker. It could also be used in MP matches as a type of designated non-combatant for video purposes, or just, for ambience in the mission. Pretty cool. It seems to missing something on the back though, like wrinkles under the back area of the armpit. Edit: Ah, that's one thing that is missing, the "high-collar." The collar appears to be about 3.5inches on the vests, yet on the model it appears to be only about 1.5inches. You might be able to make him like a one man camera team in that you could execute a cam on the player that could be executed something to the effect of: Quote[/b] ] _player AddAction ["TrackCam","Reporter\TrackCam.sqs"] Geloxo's Handy Tools' script manualcam.sqs or trackcam.sqs would be really good for that. Manualcam would need tweaking to work. Of course, when used in multi, that would be a problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hailstorm 4 Posted April 30, 2008 I was thinking about that but after watching a lot of news programs from Iraq and Afghanistan I couldn't find one with that on their flak vests actually, it might depend on whether the reporter in question is using the 'crotch plate' that is supposed to cover the nether regions - when not used, it folds up and buttons to the chest (and may cover the 'PRESS' label on the front). other than that, maybe add some pockets and stuff to make the vest look less plain?

canis lupus 20 Posted April 30, 2008 the vest is just a plain flak vest but if I make something like a camera man I'm guessing he would need some more pockets and stuff. I might add some more to this but it was just a sudden idea and I don't have time to put too much into this, should anyone have any pictures of the equipment they might use it would make it a bit easier Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
