US Desert Vehicles (WIP)

[Marc15yo 0]

don't worry i'll find a way to contact them. i already sent an email to mcnools, although he hasn't replied yet i'm pretty sure i can find him somewhere.

if all else fails permissions wise i can just reskin the humvees and the abrams using the same technique i did for the other vehicles. and then it would be all set, i wouldn't need for permissions then since all the other vehicles were done by me.

What do you guys know about russian vehicle camos?. if i'm gonna be doing the russian vehicle camos i'm gonna need some resources. to me, to be honest, the arma2 russian vehicles seem to be perfect for desert terrain already. well if people really want to i'll try and create a seperate addon for the russians when i'm finished with this one

Well gimme a shout via pm etc and i will try and help you out as much as possible.:D

This looks good, can't wait to use them. Think you'll be able to make some Talibanies if this all goes successful? xD

[Marc15yo 0]

well i haven't learned the skillz of modeling in arma. even back in operation flashpoint i couldn't use oxygen. it was too confusing for me. but this year since i got arma2 i'm ready to start fresh, i'm gonna start doing a lot of things around here.

I think that as long as every effort is made to contact the guy, and you don't hear back from him within a month or two, it should be okay to release them.

What's the status on these babys? With the announcement of Operation Arrowhead these just became all the more useful.

Hi everybody. it's been a while. Well as you have noticed i haven't gotten a single reply from mcnools and it's been waay to long. Now somebody said that if i wait enough and i don't get a response, it should be ok to release just as long as i credit. well i decided not to do that, and instead to just re-do the abrams, and humvees by myself same way i did all the other vehicles. Since none of the new textures belong to mcnools or any one else i'm going to release the addon very soon once i finish re-doing the humvees i'll send my files over to Rico and he'll take care of the configs.

To start off i Re-did the Desert tan textures for all the armored vehicles. The humve textures will be updated next. Something was not quite right with the tan, i thought it was too dark. I looked closely at more real life pics, and even at the operation arrowhead screenies and tried to replicate the tan color. I also gave the vehicles a few extra touches.

And now for the biggest part of the update. Introducing Olive Drab/green vehicles. Not neccessarily a popular thing on us vehicles, but i thought it looked sick. And i just felt like it would be a great addition to Armed assault 2. hehe

[pauliesss 2]

Of course we like em, cant wait for release, good work. :)

[lennard 447]

I like them, though you should dirty'em up some more.

And those extra details look great. Keep it up:)

[LT. Razgriz 10]

Yeah after you do the clean textures you might just put some scratches and dirt on 'em a bit. Looking absolutely great though.

Nice skins. Where the Humvees at? Have not seen any pic of the Humvees, plz say that your doing them also:butbut:

[merlin 17]

would it be possible to add random numbering/letters to most of the vehicles? maybe add random chevrons on the vehicles?

[bravo 6 0]

I for one very like the desert cammo ones. They look very sexy :)

Also contact Placebo. He can help with the contact stuff. Indeed though. It's obvious you are making the attempt and have clearly acknowledged the original authors work. It's nice to see this even for something as simple as some reskinned textures. It's good having more people around like this. Congrats and thanks.

Maybe markings like this Abrams has would be cool:

Adding wear and tear always looks nice. :)

Wow thanks a lot for the comments guys. Sorry couldn't reply early enough, i was away helping my sis move into her new college.

would it be possible to add random numbering/letters to most of the vehicles? maybe add random chevrons on the vehicles?

Wouldn't that require me to edit the models though? I'm not sure i'll learn modeling in o2 just yet. i've got to experiment with it.

Nice skins. Where the Humvees at? Have not seen any pic of the Humvees, plz say that your doing them also

If you are talking about the updated humvees in Tan and Olive i'm working on them as we speak. but if you are talking about the old humvees.

You can see them on this page:

Yeah i guess you guys are right. making them a little dirtier and beat up wouldn't hurt to much. That pic is really gonna come in useful thanks :)

And for everyone else, thanks for the support. It's always good to hear what the community has to say :cool:

[Fudgeblood 10]

Mod's looking fantastic, can't wait to download them!

[m@ster 0]

Nice work wait for release ;)

[Marc15yo 0]

Hey everyone i'm back sorry for the long disappearance. problems with my internet provider lol.

So yeah I am now complete and really happy with the textures and how they look right now. It's not perfect but it's sexy enough for a release

I am now in the process of sending the files to RicoADF so he can take care of the configs and such.

Here are the Humvees as promised. the desert tan has been changed and i have finished the olive textures as well. on my side everything is a go. i'll admit i've been very lazy so the mtvr's will come in the next version after this release. and then i'll alsodo some more editing to the rest of them as well in later versions. i've finally got hold of mcnools and am awaiting a new reply again. it's another change of plans but i'm keeping my fingers crossed.
