Really good textures massi, these are fun units. imho the ACU looks a little funny, but the rest are very sharp :)

For your next version could you include this in your ACE config?

class CfgFactionClasses {
class MyFaction {
ACE_Language = "English"; // "Russian", "Arab"
};
};

Define their language as "English".

This will make your units compatible with the ACE AI Talk module. Reference: http://dev-heaven.net/issues/9813

Thanks!

Seriously, I dont know how you do it. Your textures are the BEST I've ever seen. I put your guys up against others and the others just look ugly. Your are just so clean, crisp, sharp and accurate. Especially your Multicam. Its amazing. Your should be getting alot more praise than you do. I cant wait till you learn how to model! :D

Hi all,

I've updated the ACE optional config for my US Special Forces pack , in order to enable the ACE speaking module for these units too.

I've put all the optional config togheter for all my units packs , in order to semplify the distribution, you'll find in every correspondant folder the previous 2 types of replacement:

- One add specific ACE units in the editor equipped with ACEX gear.

- the other override the original configuration of my units, in order to give them ACEX gear.

choose the one you prefer.

US ARMY SPECIAL FORCES for ArmA2

by massi

Hi all,

I’ve updated my US Army Special Forces to version 1.05. FINAL ARMA2 ONLY VERSION

This should be the last update (unitll OA off course ) , in this update I’ll redone the ACU textures , and added the new ACEX optional configs, in order to include the ACEX speaking module.

I’ve also added a new set fo replacements, that allow the player to replace the ACEX US Army Special Forces units, with the preferred camouflage.

The Units will be found in the editor under BLUFOR >> US Army Special Forces,(same for the groups), sorted by the different camouflage of the uniforms and gear:

- SF Light Gear ODA (ACU): wearing ACU uniform.

- SF Light Gear ODA (Multicam): wearing multicam uniform.

- SF Light Gear ODA (Woodland): wearing woodland BDU uniform.

- SF Light Gear ODA (Desert): wearing 3 colors desert DCU uniform.

- SF Heavy Gear ODA (ACU): wearing ACU uniform.

- SF Heavy Gear ODA (Multicam): wearing multicam uniform.

- SF Heavy Gear ODA (Woodland): wearing woodland BDU uniform.

- SF Heavy Gear ODA (Desert): wearing 3 colors desert DCU uniform.

- SF "ghillie" recon\snipers : wearing desert or woodland ghillie suite.

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.1.05:

v1.05 date 25/Apr/2010

-Totally redone ACU textures.

-Fixed some others textures.

-Update ACEX optional configs (enabled ACEX voices module).

-Added ACEX US Army SF replacements.

Installation.

Put the addons in the "mod folder" of your preference, you will find the units in the editor under:

Bluefor - US Army Special Forces (sorted by different camos and gear)

you'll find groups also under:

Bluefor - US Army Army Special Forces (as above).

ACE2 files Installation.

- file: "mas_usa_spec_ACE2_cfg_repl.pbo"

You can use the OPTIONAL ACE2 CONFIG that you'll find in the "ACE2 config" folder that replace SF weapons with the ACEX ones, and add some of the great ACE2 stuff (like gasmask, balaclavas, ecc...), this way my SF classes will be automatically replaced.

- file: "mas_usa_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 SF classes, create new ones ( BLUFOR>>> US Army Special Forces 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 4 replacement file, all SIGNED , for each camos.

Just choose the one you prefer and it'll replace standard BI force recon models with the SF ones in your preferred camo.

Same things for ACE2 SF units replacements.

Using the replacement of your choice , it'll replace ACEX US Army SF models with the camouflage you choosed.

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!

These units are great, Massi! The only thing I noticed is, shouldn't the "Sapper" unit have a Sapper tab on his arm? :D

I clicked on US Army Special Forces in mod launcher but it will not load the game; wizard icon says cannot load Arma 2.

Can anyone tell me where I went wrong?

[enad 11]

Hey massi. I really love your work and I dont mean to critisize it, but your ACU really needs work.

See here.

I dunno. It just seems lower quality than the rest of your superb textures, and I'm seeing hints of red and blue in it. It just really looks weird.

I'm sure you're busy, but maybe in the next update you could resolve this problem. :)

Thanks man!

+1

Also it would be cool if you could separate out your pbos in module form, as in 1 pbo per camo, so people could choose which ones they wanted to have installed. For example if someone never was going to use Desert camos they could just not install the desert pbo, but keep all the others.

That would rock :)

These are really sharp textures, thnx :cool:

[massi 772]

Thanks a lot both Enad and Animal Mother for your reports and suggestions.

I'll try to fix textures as soon as possible (sorry Enad do you mean the brown spots i pasted over ACU texture? please remember I'm color blind ;) if you can PM me more exactly wath the problems are I'll fix them faster), also the different pbo's is a nice advice !!!

I hope to fix it before OA (also considering I'm going to use OA models and BI's ACU textures as soon as OA is released)... but I'm not sure.

cheers :)

massi

[enad 11]

Alright man, my advice just wait for OA. Everything else is awesome and there are enough ACU addons out there to suit my needs. :)

I'm still impressed how you can make these awesome textures while being color blind. It's really amazing!

Thanks for all the hard work. Dont worry about the ACU.

Remember my PM on Armaholic? That would be something better to work on! :D

I think what he means is that the light-grey parts of the ACU has some red in them, so they need to be desaturated a bit. (atleast from what I can tell)

[ziiip 1]

Looking good, I give it a shot.

[ziiip 1]

Gotta love the desert retex. :n:

[massi 772]

thanks ;)

as soon as I'll find time i'll do an OA version too (using OA models)

[therev709 10]

thanks ;)

as soon as I'll find time i'll do an OA version too (using OA models)

If you do, can u keep all of the vests Khaki Tan? I like this addon, but you never see USASF using camo kit, just Eagle gear in Khaki ;)

[massi 772]

will do ;)

cheers
