[OA]Tier One Operators V3.x (now with heavies!)

[mcnools 62]

Very nice work dude, but can u add later ace configs for the operators?(1bandage,1morphine,1adrenaline).Sorry for the bad english:)I hope u will understand it^^

Unfortunatly I don't use ACE, so I don't know anything about it, but if someone was to do a config like that, I could include it in my next release. :)

Sweet, great job Mcnools. Can't wait for more addons from you! :D

[pre-Vet 10]

Man, you are really rocking on this one!

A unit mod complete with groups is sweet!

thnx!

[mcnools 62]

Thanks guys, I'll lay back and watch out for more feedback from you now. :) report any bugs/issues etc.

[karatekid 10]

Just one bug: It's too cool:D

Haha, good one!

I just spent the last 1½ hours with these guys on an epic (although quite simple and not very special) mission I made, storming a mountain-fortress together with Takistani militia I could order to attack from various flanks at different times, and arty and close-air-support. It was epic, I must say I'm really content with what I've made here, and I'm glad it's appreciated. :)

Thanks for the update. My favourite addon for OA so far. :D

I'll definitely make a mission using these guys.

Nice job man, No bugs so far. The only thing is some of the "undercover" guys are wearing sandals lol, Hope someone can give this guys some boots ;)

Oh, I haven't noticed that, but they're undercover! they have to do it properly! haha! But no, the models aren't possible to edit unfortunatly, I might look into it and give them other models though. :) (could try retexturing it also, depending on how the model looks)

[Feint 137]

So I was thinking that to make these guys undercover, you could just set them all to captive. Then they could enter BLUEFOR and OPFOR lines without any issues. But something would have to be added to setCaptive to false. For example, if you pointed your weapon at an OPFOR unit for more than 3 seconds or if you shot an OPFOR unit or killed an OPFOR unit.

I can set a unit as captive pretty easily. I just don't know how to script the conditional stuff to set it to false. Does anyone know how to do that?

D'oh thought they are complete new models. OK then of course no pistols in holsters.

Nope, BIS never puts pistols in holsters. For whatever reason.

Using attachto, you might be able to put pistols in holsters. I imagine a script that queries if you have a pistol then puts the external model of it on your hip using attachTo. Then, when you switch to your secondary weapon, the external model is killed and the regular external model appears in your hands normally. Of course, I have no idea how to script this, but the idea is still there for the taking. ;)

[mcnools 62]

One thing to remember when setting them to captive is that you need to tell your men to hold fire aswell, since they will start shooting otherwise, putting them in careless or safe-mode would be a good idea aswell.

Nie work, used em many times now, thanks.

I really like the models, they're very well done, but what if I wanted to use the beard faces for my profile? It doesn't seem that you've included a config file that adds them to the usable face list.

Unfortunatly I do not know how that's done, and also, that wouldn't work in multiplayer unless the ones your'e playing with have the addon (I think).

If you want to use them in a mission you have created you have to use the setIdentity-commands and use "Tierface01" (all the way up typ 24) as the face.

Edit: By the way people, I think I might have signed the addon wrong, right now the pbo is called "ftmch_tier_one.pbo" but the bisign is called "FtmchTier1.ext.FtmchTier1.bisign", what problems will that cause? if any? I don't really understand this whole signature-thing.

Whit the Wounds Problem.

It maybe possible that in the Config, the "class Wounds" entry included need ?

class Wounds
{
tex[] = {};
mat[] = {"ca\characters\heads\male\defaulthead\data\hhl.rvmat", "ca\characters\heads\male\defaulthead\data\hhl_wounds.rvmat", "ca\characters\heads\male\defaulthead\data\hhl_wounds2.rvmat", bla bla bla.paa, bla bla bla.paa
};

It's possible that the mission you try uses an older version of my addon, or you have an older version, I'm not sure. Try installing the latest version of my addon and the mission, then try the mission and write exactly what error message comes up. :)

And Christian.1987, I tried adding the wounds-class but I couldn't get it working propely,

Also most of the models doesn't have wound textures assigned... So even stock BI units don't have'em. Only ones are "undercover" militia models - I'll test them in few hours to see if the wounds are working...

Yes, exactly. I hope you can get it working for them atleast!

Have you looked into getting the faces working with the setface-command?

I'm glad to hear that, enjoy!

[camus25555 10]

great unit, im going to use them in my missions :)

[mcnools 62]

I'm working on another update, I must know, is the addon signed correctly? (I don't know that much about how it works)

Does the .bisign need to have the same name as the pbo? in that case, I'll "re-sign" it for the update.

And is there any other issues that needs to be adressed? Apart from wounds, and not being able to use the faces with other addons.

Any unit-class you want me to add? Anything? :)

I'm thinking of adding a artillery/airstrike-spotter-unit with a laser designator (what would be the correct name for a soldier like that?).

Combat Controller Technician (CCT) are the Air Force SOF guys who roll around with Delta, SEALs, Rangers, etc. and are responsible for calling in air strikes. Any military officer in the field and their Radio Telephone Operator (RTO) is supposed to be trained in how to call in artillery (and air strikes, but the CCTs are supposed to handle that, interesting story behind that).

My only nitpicky request is to change the combat medic's hat model to something other than a shemag. Too many guys have a shemag IMO . . . and in my campaign im cookin up one of the characters is identified by the shemag (whos the sniper), so I can't have two of them running around ;) But thats just a personal request, otherwise I think the addon is perfect, keep up the good work!

It would also be cool to have a few guys in heavy combat gear, with helmets, goggles, stuff like that. You could even mix in a few guys with DCU and multicam combat pants (as technically SOF in the field have to be wearing at least one article of uniform clothing). You could call them Assault Operator or something like that.

The only other thing I'd like to see is the anvis-9 night vision goggles. The PVS-7s used in the game are sooooo 90's ;) Even PVS-14 goggles like what the TF86 SEALs or Binks Army 08 addons have would be better, see if they'd let you use em ;)
