Faux News Reporters

[icewindo 29]

An addon created by using some of the ArmA1 content (Marian Quandt, Reporter).

(click)

To be used in cutscenes, missions etc. for athmosphere... note that the new Marian Quandt can (unlike all other women in ArmA2) shoot weapons.

Signed files are included, so if I did it right they should work :p .

This addon was inspired by General Carver of Faux News:

Yes, but thats only in my private life. With the ArmA series I do not express my preference in public.

Take a look at the civilian side ;) .

I'm glad you like it, Carver, your work was really epic stuff.

Yep I was missing these from ArmA1, they may also have use in cutscenes, missions for atmosphere etc., when I find some time I may try to create a camera function like with the GMI Camera Guy in Operation Flashpoint.

Lol, I didn't get the blondie joke until I read your name, fox :p .

Yeah, a camera crew would be cool as well, reporter looks a bit lonely stood by himself ;)

[Flash Thunder 10]

Can we bash them ingame since they provide such bias new reports? :)

I assumed it was the OP and went, wut? Not many avatars around here.

Now we need some model for a role of film. Escape the warzone with the truth! But first the Hilton jacuzzi.

As in too thick or too short or both :p ?

Now that you mention it, I recall I've changed the Marian Quandts legs to be more thick as I've created the model to be wearing a battle dress in the first place, and these slim legs of the original model didn't seem proper for that when I compared to real life pics, military doesn't seem to be producing "body emphatic" battle uniforms for women.

With civilian clothes ofc. that needs to be changed

This seems more appropiate?

Hm strange, they should be under Civlian->Faux News-> Field Reporters, if you installed the addon correctly, I may have an idea on this.

I used distinctive names for the vehicle class, faction etc. (e.g. "faux_news_faction"), but the male reporter model remained at his initial class ("civil_pressmanik"), so this might the only conflict I can think of, so try running just this single addon to see if it works then.

I'll put the updated model and new classname into a new version.

[darkxess 60]

man... i am sooooo sorry about this, lol i am so stupid! sorry to of wasted your time

but they was never even in my addons folder! i must of made a misktake, but i swore

i put them in there, lol ...

Sorry again mate! great addons, working fine now.

Yeah im stupid! ...

[Binkowski 26]

Good stuff! Saw these in the WIP thread a few days ago, thanks for bringing them into ArmA2. Brings back memories of A1...

[GeneralCarver 0]
