Generation kill mod

[EMERY 10]

yea i had same problem woodstock21 i changed my res and it fixed it but as for a fix you will have to see what Lennard dose

[Z.agge 10]

Hey! Your mod seems quite awesome, but I have a couple of questions...

1. When I'm trying to create Lieutenant 'Godfather' Ferrando, the game reports that it can't find a file called marine.pd3 or something. Do I need some additional files or addons?

2. Are you going to include Iraq army or insurgents to the mod or do the mission makers have to use third party mods?

[wika_woo 182]

[Cyteless 10]

Question for Lennard, are these unit models/textures final? There's still some more work to do, e.g. rank insignia on officers such as Fick and Ferrando, writings on Christeson's helmet, etc. Are there more units planned, such as units without MOPP gear, and MARPAT units, as in later episodes?

Some good reference pictures at this link: http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/Generation_Kill

Also...About all the faces looking the same...Is that just me?

[Woodstock21 10]

ya for sure i know that changing the screen rez would fix it, i know that when i created a mission in my intro i wanted a full screen pic on my rez

		   x = safeZoneX;
	   y = safeZoneY;
   	   w = safeZoneW;
  	   h = safeZoneH;

worked for it and force the smaller rez image to screach to the max screen size, i dunno if it help cause i have no ideas about gun configs

Well no it's not the final as it's a beta release..

Those rank insignia and helmet writings should be possible but I won't do them simple because that would require a separate helmet texture for each of those guys. That wouldn't be good for the filesize and also I think it's a bit useless.

Bugs are noted and will be fixed and that's it.

And for the iraqi army, just saw an interesting post on armaholic.

Look at this.

I have to tell you, the map runs very nice on old computers. What settings you used on Visitor3? 40x40?

Though on 10000 m it is almost unplayable for old PCs.

I for one thing you are using too many clutter. The dry grass are too close to each other, it think it would look more natural if you reduce in general the common and average clutter and spread them among them, give more space among them.

edit1: You have to fix the irl Airport lines.. they are in the middle of the city map.

edit2: Bridges are not leveled, hope you guys turn it more realistic.. with hard work and patience this map will be very good! Have good potential.

The map is very nice, a problem I've had is AI drivers get confused of where to go.

Even in open terrain.

[Nitemare26 10]

setting in visitor3 are 10x10km. Yeah the Airport lines i just haven't done yet:o but no worries it will probably be fixed today anyways.

Oh yeah clutter too! i think the same thing. I'm trying different values right now..but also trying to figure why it take clutter away from UTES even though I made my own class names or at least i think i did? and also gives UTES a very large desert island to the north:confused: oh well!...lol jk

Great work on the units and the map, Units are great looking and same for those humvee's, great job. Map for a beta is good but needs indeed more clutter and a more "Alive"feeling to it, but overall great for some MOUT actions or great place to play little Blackhawkdown.

But I did find some problems when playing and dont know if you already know these or not but did found out that large portion off the river are missing the surface texture(same like on Celle after expanding the landmass),Also had a CTD when I places a hmvv(50cal)and added 2 corporals in cargo,I was the driver.

This was just after testing the stuff out,need to do some more testing.

Nice stuff so far and cant wait for the update:D

I got you on the feeling lived in and alive feeling but im kinda worried as to if I place too much trash clutter/broken down cars objects and such if it will bring down FPS:confused: guess one way to find out is when i complete it:D

[mrcurry 470]

First off, awesome map with great potential 5 thumbs up!

Secondly, I found an object with some quite neat issues.

See these images on where to find it.

[therev709 10]

^^I think that has something to do with the IED objects pack, I had some issues like that on other maps. However, the problem went away when I restarted the map or Arma 2.

[EMERY 10]

yea its been noted one or 2 of the objects are fubar will be fixed in next update

[Fox '09 14]

cool. I was hoping some streets would be a lil thinner, kind of like this: http://www.theodora.com/wfb/photos/iraq/street_scene_baghdad_jan_oberg_2.jpg

Could lead to intense CQB battles..

[lao fei mao 21]

Nice MOD, and I watch the TV series twice, which shows the brutal side of war and those USA soldier's reflex on the essence of war. Anyway, still waiting for the update to tweak those bunch of bugs.

[Laqueesha 474]

Could lead to intense CQB battles.

Or, AI driving blunders of Biblical proportions.

[Fox '09 14]

true, but even without vehicles. i wouldn't mind placing cars and objects down one of those streets just for theme

[Devil Dogs SF 13]

Yeah, small streets would be great to simulate true CQC and some great ambushes.

[Fox '09 14]

and if you're an insurgent, you can go up on roofs and fire down from the rooftops :D
