Hi all, finaly I finished my work on CSLA (Czechoslovak Peoples Army) reskin addons. Hope you will like it. PS: !These Addons have nothing to do with CSLA Mod Team Addons. They will release their work in Gremany 1985 Mod. PS2: I want thank these people: Vilas (he allowed me to use his weapons), Ebud (Soldier Skin Template) and all the people from Ruprt Forums and CSLA Mod Team. PS3: There are 2 version of CSLA Soldiers with/without Vilas weapons. Choose the one you like. (Of course you cant have them both so please download one of them)  Vilas weapons are not in this addon, you have to download the Basic Pack to play with CSLA Infantry using his weapons in config file. Download Vilas Basic Pack mod here Here are the download links for CSLA: - CSLA Vehicles, Air and Armor  HERE or HERE or HERE - CSLA Infantry with Vilas weapon config HERE or HERE or HERE - CSLA Infantry with BIS weapon config (you dont need any external addon) HERE or HERE or HERE New Download Links from www.armedassault.info & www.armaholic.com - Thanks!

Great work! Love to see moving the borders away even without tools!!! Keep ut the good work!

@ d3dsh33p - no no friend this wasnt meant to be as mod. Please wait for Germany 1985 Mod which CSLA MOD and others (mod from OFP era) is part of. But this will take them much more longer time to complete, so we all have to be patient. Here is the link to Germany 1985 with some WIP screens.

Thanks Topas Yope, Slovak/Polish Tatra borders fight would nicely fit in Arma engine. (mean against NATO paras) There were few more versions AFAIK of vz.60 "jehlici" camo pattern. This one i've used were used on long jacket. Dont know if on trousers (think not).

Thanks all for reply About that OPFOR: as CanadianTerror said - Czechoslovak Peoples Army was part of Warsaw pact and their main goal was to hold attack from Germany as long as they can. Or attack that that way. I cannot imagine any other scenario of battle than battle against NATO if we want to be historicaly correct. And there is another problem in Arma this time - I've used SLA models, and if we want to have wounds textures (i know that there is another way to do it, but its very tricky way) i have to use SLA (east) soldiers classes in config. @ luky.m - hehe nie som amík :-)

Thank all the websites that posted info and download links about this. Vilas - yes it has (check your PM)

Hi all, I'd like to introduce you a W.I.P. on Czechoslovak Army (ÄŒSLA) reskin. Most of the work is already done. I'm planning to release it in a few days. Here are some screenshots: P.S.: This addon has really nothing to do with the OFP ÄŒSLA mod. P.S.2: The soldiers are using Russian weapons because I didn't receive a permission to use the original OFP ÄŒSLA weapons. I'm not skilled enough to make my own 3D models. If anyone's interested in helping me, write it here or PM me.

Realy nice work, Topas and Vilas... Great job with LWP, Topas, realy like the helmet. And now Polish men can find the pub without dictionary

Hi Zipman, Must start my reply as this: "this has been asked/answered 1000 times so use search function"  In short: If you want to make your own units with your own textures you have to change the path to the textureon the model  from games default to yours addon texture directory with exactly( !!! ) same lenght as default if you making custom model or overwrite the texture in game files if you want it only for your own use and dont want make standalone unit. If you want make standalone addon not to change it on games default, copy the model and textures to your custom directory and than come the funny way - config Best way to learn is to download someones similiar addon - unpack it and look how it was done. Hope it helps a bit s8n

Some screens from latest work: >ÄŒSLA Soldier in vz.60 with reworked helmet and pouches: >Added new version of (tank) crew - so there will be two: with vz.60 camo and this one in UT (Pracovni odev) uniform: >Added also new version of paratrooper with green beret, again there will be two versions, one with red and other with vz.60 beret:

Thx for help and hint  About that Vilas weapons - i will not rework his weapons, I will only add version of my soldiers with changes in config with Vilas weapons, so you must have Vilas weapon pack downloaded. But if you want I have sa58 sound but it is not that good as I wished to be... Hmm and Armed Forces of Slovak Republic? I am 100% sure that will be made, but not until tools are out, coz current Arma models are not good for that.  btw. check this Topic Oh and I will send you a PM with my mail - if you send me some materials about vz.97 that would great... thx s8n

Just iproved Officers insignias, but still I am having some weird problem with normal map on this model in some light condition some parts of textures appear black. Hope I'll find solution soon

Yop mee too... great work so far and very interesting and controversial era of beginning of ww2. Keep up the good work guys... Do you have some ideas about that fictional campaing or do you now concentrate only on modeling? (nech sa darí ) s8n

Hi all First of all - thanks for support guys. Sorry for delay people, but I decided to give it a little more time to improve some textures and add some details. Things to do: - Rework officers uniform insignias - Rework soldiers belt - Change crew uniform @ begorra2 - as I said before - i will make 2 two versions - with and without Vilas weapons (changes only in config) @ marxis - no I havent, but if they give me a permission, mayby I can do so... @ t11 - thx PMed you too

Hmmm, why you guys are so worried about porting old addons to Arma - I know some of them look ugly now but things can be improved. Correct me if I am wrong (i am not expert in 3D), but imagine some skilled guy/girl create good human model in external 3D program which can be easily converted in *.p3d, am I right? So where those limitations? Normals and speculars can be done... Yop this is the hard way to do, but I like people who better try than wait...:love: s8n

Great! It is amazing what some skilled people can do without official tools for Arma! Keep it on!

Yop, Vilas, I've saw your Polish troops - I have downloaded them as others of your work. And yes the helmets are too bright and too greenish, but they are on my todo list thanks

Thx Topas - it will be nice to have Warsaw Pact Army side by side in some good campaing. Looking forward to see your work on Polish army

Amazing work guys (girls?) - we can only silently envy your work

First of all - thx @Ubernoober - yes, I have tested some OFP imports to Arma (vehicles, planes etc.) - but there is huge amount of work for one man team to make it properly working , you know, import of model itself aint that hard to get in Arma but 100% functionality is something diferent. But as I said before if someone want to help, it will be great. @CanadianTerror - as Deadfast said they are working and their work looks realy great so far. My work wasnt meant to be something to replace this mod, I just want to bring something for Czech and Slovak people and of course not only for them to play with till the guys from CSLA mod (Germany 1985) release their great stuff for community. And about that permission - I have talked with Maa from CSLA team about that and as I said before - I understand that it is their right - but something is better than nothing this time - so here it is my Czechoslovak Peoples Army s8n

Here are some new screens - hope you like it:

Thx for Info Vilas - i've reworked some textures CSLA weapon for my own use then i've asked persmision from CSLA which was negative (i understand - its their work and their right ) but there is still lot of work on it - and there are still other things to do than sit 4 hours by photoshop than wait 10 minutes to test the weapon in Arma engine - i am sure you know i am talkin about - i also tried aply the specular and normal maps on the weapons (btw. CSLA sodliers have reworked normal maps - which replaces the armor). About that photos of vz. sa 58 - i have some but most of them are only from google and czech or slovak army forums - so u can probabaly have them but i will upload it somewhere mayby it will help you - oh and would be great to have good looking sa 58 and uk59 in Arma... btw. if someone of u guys  have some weapons at home - plz provide us with some good photos it will help us a lot (mayby some new topic "texture and photo exchange could be made" - what do you think poeple?! thx all

 I am Slovak - i planned to do Slovak Army but without tools it is not possible now... however i've got czech vz. 85 on US soldier model, lookin good so far (Slovak Special Forces 5.PSU is using this camo too)

Thx Vilas - i have working sa61 and sa61 with gunstock done too - both imported from OFP:Res, also CZ75 Ok I will make two version with and without your weapons. Oh and I forgot there are some vehicles and heli reskined too as you may noticed from pictures...
