New idea for canadian troops

[Black Watch 0]

After ONS, I have decided to create a new type of canadian troops. As my uncle served in the CF during the '70s and '80s, I thought to make the past come to life on OFP. Here are my basic concepts:

Men:

Rifleman (FNC1)

Auto rifleman (FNC2)

Signaler (radio+Sterling C1 SMG)

Section commander (C1 SMG)

Officer (9mm postol+C1 SMG)

Machine-gunner (9mm+C5 .30cal MG)

LAW soldier (FNC1+M72)

Armoured:

Grizzly AVGP (.50 cal turret mounted APC version of the MOWAG Pirhana 1)

Cougar AVGP(76mm gun armoured recce version of the above)

Husky AVGP (Wreker/MRT desing)

Cars:

GMC CKW (deuce and-a-half)

Chevrolet CUCV

Willis jeep (perhaps a re-skined version of the standard ofp one)

The problem is that I have the concept in mind, but I have no 3d modeling experience/talent. In short, I don't know how to build 3d models. So if anyone can give me sone help around here, it would be appreciated.

I know how that feels

feels terrible indeed

you could learn like a lot of people have done

The big thing is, can you texture and write/modify Config.cpp files?

There are a few FN FALs hanging around. It shouldn't be too hard to modify one to build a C.1 and a C.2. A rework of the old ONS OD Green troops might get you decent 1970/80 Canadian Army troops - the most work will be in getting a reasonable C.1 Stirling going. Some WWII mods have M1919A4s you could make into a C5.

Swedish Forces Pack and/or the WarGames League Mod has a good Carl Gustav model. I think Laser also has one. Laser's a pretty cool guy, send him a PM and he might be able to give you a few pointers and/or loan you the Carl G model.

Thank you so much for the tips!

However, can anyone tell me how to build vehicules (THE AVGP series)?

I've got an idea, but i,m not sure wether it will work or not:

1)request to borrow the Pirhanas from SwissMod, in order to make the AVGP's

2)ask ONS for their OD canadian soldiers, and re-skin them (M1 Helmets, weapons)

3)Re-Skin the original jeep

4)Ask WWIIEC team for their GMC deuce-and-a-half

5)Reskin the original OFP 1965 pick-up to make the CUCV's

In short, it would be a re-skining job. But once again, I would require help from anyone in order to get me started, since I have no idea how to work this.

Thanks guys

I'd recommend Googleing "How to model a Beretta 9000" if you're interested in learning how to model. It's a video training module, and it's how I learned to model. It's pretty easy once you get the hang of it.

Good luck!

The Fleetside GMC that I am aware of is a Sigma 6 addon. Is that the one you mean, Black Watch?

perhaps the 1965 pick up that comes along with OFP

Sorry, I don't know of any 1965 pickup that comes with OFP. I just checked my default OFP/OFP:R on sides West/East/Resistance/Civilian and didn't find any pickup truck. Anyways, moot point for me to be discussing it - I'm not the one who'll retexture it.

The 1965 pickup is not part of the original pack, it was releasd as a separte addon by an OFP community member Sigma Six.

First was the standard pickup:

Then a model redone by Inquistor with MG in the back was released:

There is also a new Ford350 pickup which can be found here in fourm, or on OFP.Info:

Back to the main subject, I was playing the old Canadian Huskies mission the other day and was thinking it would be great if there was a winter Canadian pack you could swap out the winter US soldiers with. That's what I found out about the ONS Candian releases was there were no winter troops or vehicles made.

I gave up on the idea. I don't have any artistic talent whatsoever, so if someone is willing to undertake this project, you are free to do so.
