BlackOps and desert mercs

[vengeance1 50]

Nice job! Great to have some choices and Black Ops! Super!

is it possible to give yourself the helmet worn by the assault grenadier/rifleman? you know the tan one with the goggles on top. i see it's used by some of the models but it's not one of the scripting options.

thanks

edit:

well what im really trying to do is this:

in the 1st pic you can see the USMC unarmed soldier model is the same as the merc guard except for the camo.

the goal is to have the assault rifleman model use the camo of the merc guard essentially creating a (not very accurate) US army soldier, until dedicated army dudes are made.

YES!!!! XM8s!!!

[vengeance1 50]

I must be missing something I tried putting this in the init line of the unit to change helmets but got error with script?

this set identity "Pro_Helmet";:confused:

What makes you think they are not in this release?

Well, i made a quick test in the editor, But could not find any unit with the sf helmet. I checked all units in these cathegories Bluefor/Mercen../Desert & Black, but found nothing... Do i have some kind of "broken" version or am I blind as usual? :D

EDIT: Now i understand the sf thingy, The glasses menu :D Brilliant, Sorry for bothering

Wow ! Schnapsdrosel is back in business !

Good job! :bounce3:

A few remaks:

• please binarize the addon
  
• check the rpt for errors
  
• sign the addon
  
• please outsource cfgModels and cfgSkeletons to a model.cfg (part of binarization job)
  
• please change these two inheritance in configs:
  

class CfgFaces
{
...
class Man
{
 class Custom

to

class Man;
class Custom;
class CfgFaces
{
...
class Man: Man
{
 class Custom: Custom

Updating base class Custom->, by bb_mercs_desert\config.cpp/CfgFaces/Man/Custom/

Updating base class Default->, by bb_mercs_desert\config.cpp/CfgFaces/Man/

aaaaaweeeeesome. just what i wished for. there are around 24 different classes (though the black ops all look almost alike but still, different stock weapons) and love them very very much. thank u so maaachooo :)

one thing i wish would be the case - if the mercs and black ops could also be on both sides. not just the USMC.

i thought about fighting against the mercs or blacOps and i can't do that as marines, as far as i can tell. am i wrong?

if the mercs and BlackOps where "independant" (not USMC or OPFOR) so i can set who they are friendly to than that would be amazing....

is it possible to make them available as independent??

If you wanted to fight the Blackops/Mercs as the Marines, here's what you do:

Set up your group of Blackops and Marines. Now, take a high-ranking OPFOR unit like a Colonel, higher than any of the Blackops.

When you are setting up things such as the skill level, there is a slider for "probability of prescence." Lower it to 0%.

Group the OPFOR unit with the Blackops so that the OPFOR guy is the Blackops group leader.

Now, when you start the mission, the OPFOR guy won't be there due to the 0% probability, but the Blackops will function as an OPFOR unit.

Any possibility of some mercenaries kitted out in woodland gear? Thinking of using them as CIA/PsyOps/general intelligence operatives and the like.

ummm.... im really new to mods and i barely play MP so i need to ask this out of noobness -

what does this mean? what is that file?

i know that the KEY is for MP so its available online, but im not sure what these files are, what's the difference between the files on the OP and the files here and what are they good for...

[vengeance1 50]

How do I create a BlackOps without the Black Mask?

Load via -mod=x\oac\oac_replacements_a2_units;

Looks fairly annoying for a mod line? Doesnt the good old system work?

[cobra4v320 27]

Isn't the M8 all but discontinued?

I believe they were replaced with the SCAR!

As I understood, it's just a face. Use 'setface' to change it.

Ahh, thanks for taking the time to answer my question. Much Appreciated.;)

[.kju 3245]

Updated the replacement - changes:

* Split into USMC, FR and team razor.

* Split into BlackOps and Desert Mercenaries for each of the above.

Make sure to only have one for each type group active.

Schnapsdrosel can you pretty please release an update ASAP that is binarized (and

signed). Otherwise the access of RPT messages make it unusable during testing. :(

@Schnapsdrosel

Please give the p3d files a description naming in the future.

It was quite time consuming and annoying to find out what is what. :|
