Iranian Forces Mod

[VampyricTyrant 10]

Very good work. Very atmospheric. I loved the twist in the campaign and the faction changes (just like starcraft :)) I would like more of it

[opffever 10]

The latest The Zulfiqar-1 is the The Zulfiqar-3 that was seen on display at the latest military parade in Tehran, tank experts all agree, this version is a heck lot more sophisticated then the The Zulfiqar-1 series, that has been a test bed for the The Zulfiqar-3, not that I think any western tank would have any considerable problem to take them out, the odds, is of course increasing with new versions and constant training. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zulfiqar_%28tank%29 To add another tank under development is the Mobarez tank, this one is an updated British Chieftain tank, in the 60s it was famous for having the most powerful tank gun in the world. My bet is that Iran got this gun, and its ammunition up to date as well. Iran is an incredible interesting country if you are a technology freak as myself. ;)

[Comrade Chaos 10]

The Zulfiqar-1 is indeed a real tank. It likely isn't terribly power in real life, and I'm pretty sure an Abrams would have little difficulty taking it out. Iran's best tank in the mod is likely the T-72S.

BTW, I managed to fix the "drifting" bug of the 9M14P static launcher. :)

It's the Z-3 that is impressive.

Just updated the @Iranian_Forces_AI_Config, now includes all the latest vanilla weapons.

Please note that it does not require the Iranian Forces Mod and will work with any vanilla, old and new Mods, so please enjoy.

Sorry I'm a n00b...Just wondering if this mod allows me to play as the Iranian armed forces - or is this simply intended to be an Iranian slaughter fest?

Thanks

It's both! It depends on how you want to use them. How you build your missions is down to your concience, your allegance or just your mood!

Welcome to the forums by the way. I would say that 99.99% of community made content can be played as a player. Obviously if someone makes a house, you can't play as a house, but you probably get my meaning.

Thanks very much for this!

I actually don't even have the game (but I used to be a huge flashpoint fan) ...So now that you said that, looks like Steam gets some of my dollars. This mod is simply for ARMA 2 Combat Operations?

Or are they any required expansions?

Thanks again!

It works with ArmA 2 Combined Operations (ArmA 2 + Operation Arrowhead).

If you need help installing the mod once you get the game, feel free to private message me on the forums.

[b00ce 160]

Get "Combined Operations" (ArmA 2 + Operation Arrowhead, really it's the other way around but whatever. :p), It's way better and you won't have to worry about any dependency issues. ;)

[badenser 1]

Alright well...I've installed the game (unfortunately both versions). I now have Combined Operations working but I really have no idea how to get this Iranian mod working. I saw the STEAM demonstration with the Danish mod but the Iranian forces mod has no exe.folder or specified code to paste into the steam game properties.

So...Where exactly am I extracting the mod files to? Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead or Arma: Combat Operations (I'm assuming the former!)

[jedra 11]

You might want to consider using a launcher. I use six updater which allows me to download/manage my mods and launch Arma using the correct configuration.

One of the many (but easiest) manual methods...

Extract the Iranian Forces file and you should find a folder inside called @Iranian_Forces. Copy this to your 'Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead' installation folder.

Launch the game and click on the 'Expansions' menu item. You should see Iranian Forces listed. Make sure it is ticked and then click on OK.

You will be asked to re-launch the game. Do so and when it loads the mod should be loaded.

I'd like to have the Iranians as a opfor for my mission. Any chance xeno could release his faction switch config? Pretty please?

[xeno426 10]

I'm currently in the midst of finals, so it will have to wait until next week.

[markb50k 1]

I am proud to announce that the Iranian Forces Mod is now supported in my SP mission LOST.

At mission start you can now add into the mission any/all the following forces:

"@IRAN Infantry",

"@IRAN Conscripts",

"@IRAN Rev. Guard",

"@IRAN Marines",

"@IRAN Commandos",

"@IRAN Vehicles",

"@IRAN NLA",

"@IRAN NLA Vehicles",

NOTE: Since IRAN is INDEPENDENT and NLA is OPFOR I have also included a special config i made that will allow you to use IRAN as OPFOR and NLA as INDEPENDENT instead.

Good work Mark.

As for the mod's state itself, I think we're on a bit of a break (as you might have noticed).

Don't be upset though, there is more content that wasn't released and I'm sure it eventually will be (F-5, Mig-29, Su24, etc)

[xeno426 10]

We're still looking for a skinner to help with the FM-80 model as well.

[gossamersolid 155]

I think I can comfortably do the FM-80 now using the new technique that Max Power taught me.

I'm also going to have to slowly start redoing some textures I made before so they can make use of this new method for higher quality textures.

[Celastias 1]

why were most of the Iranian Forces moved to Independent? I really liked using them as an all-OPFOR Force with China and Russia :(

[gossamersolid 155]

They've always been on independent as far as I know.

[Celastias 1]

they used to be an-only OPFOR faction as far as 0.12 but i re-downloaded it today at version 0.17. only one section of the Iranian Army is now OPFOR the rest are Independent :C

[rufor 1]

They're independents from a world view I think, they're only supported slightly by Russia. They're also heading the non-aligned movement, so there you go I guess.
