Massi,

Thanks for the great-looking mod! I'll be adding it to my own Chernarus Invasion campaign I'm working on. It will be more of a UN-mandated, mixed-NATO force. I've got US, UK, Germany, Canada, Poland, Denmark, Netherlands, and now Italy will be joining the IFOR! I hope to add ANZAC forces as well.

Terrific work! Anytime we'll see some Italian armor and air assets? Just curious. If not that's fine. It works to have some light assets joining the campaign.

5 out of 5!

Hi Sgt Mack,

I'm really happy about that :)

well, i'm not a modeller, so maybe I'll try some vehicle retexture, but anyways, I think you have to wait the release of Arremba san Zorro great work... you can see there:

I'll keeping update my units in terms of new texture, config and maybe some new models added, I think I'm going to release an updated version soon(Don't worry no class names changing so no problems in mix) :)

thanks again

cheers

New Upcoming version Update

Hi all,

I've some good news for the upcoming update of my Italian SOF units.

First of all I've solved a really annoying bug afflicting the units, that seems nobody noticed.

I found It a few ours ago...but I've already found the solution and fixed it!

It was in every units, but more visible in the WINTER ones... look at the pics:

...pretty much self explaining .

I forgot to retexture the Low Res textures...so that's it...BUG SOLVED !!!

you can see:

It was really annoying, expecially playing with greenish units (supposed to be withe :) ) in snow covered environment.

I'll release an updated version soon.

Thanks to everybody supporting me.

cheers

Great fix. Thanks for letting us know, and I look forward to the update. I haven't gotten a chance to use these yet, but I will sometime.

Hello ,

I'm releasing the version 1.05 of my Italian SOF.

I worked a lot on the texture trying to improve them, in this version I've also fixed an annoying bug that made units changing color at long distances.

The units now come in updated textures uniforms, and keep the right camouflage also on long distances, so the gameplay is balanced again (think on using winter units supposed to be withe , that turn green on snow at long distances...not so realistic).

But now everything is fixed and working good at every distance.

I worked specially on vegetata temperate, vegetata desert, multicam and navy SF woodland camo this time, because they were really bad texturate, I hope they look better now.

As always I'm waiting for any comments, critics, problems and advices...

I really hope you'll like and enjoy them !

this is the cahangelog for version 1.05 :

 -----------------------------------------------------
v1.05  date 18/Jan/2010

-Totally reworked SOF Ranger "vegetata" temperate and desert uniforms textures.

-Reworked Navy SF "multicam" and woodland uniforms textures.

-Updated and improved all the other units' uniforms textures.

-Added a model without hat in SF Light recon units.

-SOLVED: issue causing change of texture in Low Resolution LODs, now the units keep their texture also at FAR distances.
The problem was affecting every units, specially noticiable on white and desert camo's units that turned green at far distances , NOW solved, and ALL the UNITS KEEP their own camo at every distance!!!

Hi all,

I’ve updated my Italian SOF units to version 1.06.

In this update I’ve worked a lot on the texture, trying to improve them and getting closer to real life ones, and I’ve spent some time on the config in order to improve the units loadout for better gameplay, keeping an eye on the realism of course!

You’ll find also a lot of different groups, ready to be placed in the editor, every group has is own loadout and is balanced to offer the best gameplay\realism .

As in previous version you’ll find in the pack:

- SOF Ranger(Vegetata): for temperate environment.
- SOF Ranger(Desert): for desert environment.
- SF(Multiland): for both desert and temperate environments.
- SF Light Recon(Multiland\Multicam): same as SF but in lightweight gear.
- SF/SOF(Winter): for snow covered environment.
- GIS: MP Special Forces in CQB black suite.
- GOI(Wood/Multicam): Navy Special Forces in woodland and multicam camo.

I really hope you’ll enjoy those units !!!

As always I’m waiting for any advice, problem, idea that can improve the work.
