massi 772 Posted December 19, 2009 (edited) ITALIAN SPECIAL OPRATIONS for ArmA2 by massi Hi all, I’ve updated my Italian Special Operation Forces to version 1.10. FINAL ARMA2 ONLY VERSION As done for my US Army Special Forces and US Army Rangers packs , in this update, I’ve totally redone the multicam texture, in order to get them closer to RL pattern, and make them blending better in the different environments. The Units will be found in the editor under BLUFOR >> Italian SOF,(same for the groups), sorted by the different camouflage of the uniforms and gear: - SOF Ranger(Vegetata): for temperate environment.- SOF Ranger(Desert): for desert environment. - SF(Multiland): for both desert and temperate environments. - SF Light Gear Recon units: same as SF but in lightweight gear. - SF/SOF(Winter): for snow covered environment. - SF Ghillie sniper\recon units: in desert , temperate and winter camos. - GIS: MP Special Forces in CQB nomex suite. - NOCS: Police HRT in CQB nomex suite - GOI(Wood/Multicam): Navy Special Forces in woodland and multicam camo. - Support Units : Italian pilot and crew . As always please report feedback, advices, problems or any ideas… I’ll be happy to keep working and improving the pack…thanks to all of you for the support and appreciation you gave me! Changelog v.1.10: v1.10 date 02/Apr/2010-Totally redone “multicam†textures. -Fixed ghillie spotter textures. -Added multicam combat shirts. Installation. Put the addons in the "mod folder" of your preference, you will find the units in the editor under: Bluefor – Italian SOF (sorted by different camos and gear) you'll find groups also under: Bluefor - Italian SOF (as above). ACE2 files Installation. - file: "mas_ita_spec_ACE2_cfg_repl.pbo" You can use the OPTIONAL ACE2 CONFIG that you'll find in the "ACE2 config" folder that replace IT SF weapons with the ACEX ones, and add some of the great ACE2 stuff (like gasmask, balaclavas, ecc...), this way my IT SF classes will be automatically replaced. - file: "mas_ita_spec_ACE2_new_cfg.pbo" If you have problems using the previous file, look inside "ACE2 congif >>> backup ACE config (new classes) " : there you'll find another replacement file that instead of overwriting my IT SF classes, create new ones ( BLUFOR>>> Italian SOF ACE) using ACEX weapons and equipment (same as above). IF YOU WANNA USE THOSE FILES ACEX IS REQUIRED. both files are SIGNED, choose the best solution for you, BUT REMEMBER TO USE ONLY ONE AT A TIME!!! Replacement files Installation. In the folder "replacement files" you'll find 3 different replacement, one replace only the force recon units with the Italian ones, the other 2 replacement replace all the USMC units with Italian models, you can choose to use the Woodland (vegetata) or the Desert one. AS SAID ABOVE USE ONLY ONE AT A TIME !!! Bugs. Tested both in vanilla game and in ACE2, everithing is working well, without any errors in RPT or sort of problems. Thanks. Thanks to BI for the great game and to all the community for their great support and addons! Thanks to all the people that enjoied the units and supported me in all the different forums! Download Links to version v. 1.10: Mediafire: http://www.mediafire.com/file/ehddrvtnbw5hcz8/Italian%20_SOF_v1.10.7 Thank You all… hope you’ll like them!!!

massi 772 Posted December 25, 2009 Hi all, Many thanks to all of you for your compliments and support! :) I really hope you'll enjoy these units...as much as I enjoyed making them :) Thanks caprera: just a suggestion: what about a minimi instead of the 249 ? I'm sorry but I don't know so much about military stuff...could you be little more clear for a noob like me ...sorry :) cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
caprera 0 Posted December 27, 2009 I can supply you with some italian military photos. Some help about pouches and stuff... Here's an example of Alpini Paracadutisti unit,MINIMI is the middle: It's somewhat the original M249SAW made by FN. It's used in italy as well france.

Thanks Caprera, But I tought it was the same weapons just named in own way by different armies. Thanks for the offer, really appreciate... right now I'm 0 at modelling, so the best I can do is reskin vanilla units as more realistic as I can ... so pics can help :) Thanks again cheers.
