Hello everyone! It's been a while since we've made anything really public, so I thought it was about time we got an update. We are hard at work getting some new models ready, and I thought that I would show what we've been up to. Click on the images for larger pictures. First: The Coyote This model is almost complete. All that's missing is a C6 machine gun up top. Second: The Mamba APC This model is complete. Took about 5 days to build. The Mamba has been used in many theaters of operation, including Bosnia. Stay tuned for more updates! Abs

Not gonna lie, that looks fing awesome. Abs

Hammy the Hamster with nuke Closeup of Hammy A minelayer dog is another wicked idea. I will do it when I have the time. I don't know what the point of a pigeon that kills itself is, though. Abs

LOL! As if I believe that, Sniper Skull. Thanks for the great compliment though. Thanks. I'm a civilian, so I don't really know, but I'm guessing that means 'great work!' You could get a sneak peek at them like that if you choose to help us out ...if not, maybe we'll get an MP game going once the mod is out Just to reiterate what CT said, yes, we are looking for texturers. Your work would include: texturing the primary and lod models. Making the other texture maps required by the game (normal, specular, etc) What we'd provide you: A UV mapped model (no more hours spent UV mapping! Well, not by you anyway. *sighs*) and a friendly mod team to work with. We're very easy going on the schedule. We understand that people have their lives to live, so we don't jump down your throat to get the work done. Anyway, feel free to contact me on MSN if anyone is interested. inhidingforever [at] hotmail [dot] com. Abs

Thanks R0adki11. Here's the next update. It's the Canadian M113A3. It's got the 1m Cadillac Gage turret on it, and it's armed with a .50 caliber Browning machine gun, and also a C6 GPMG. It holds 3 crew and 11 troops. This is only one of the M113 models we'll be featuring in our mod. Stay tuned for updates on our TLAVs, and some other variants! Here's the pic: Abs

I think I'd like a screenshot of it attacking a Blackhawk Abs

I think people ought to relax a little bit. The people posting here were enjoying themselves. It's the first bit of fun I've seen on these forums in a long time. Anyway, I'll be working on the truck model sometime thisweekend. Actually, I really liked the shark with the cockpit in it. I might get on that one too Abs

Actually, this thread was created before the addon request thread.

Do you mean addons like the Red Cross, or UNICEF? Abs

Wow man, that's looking awesome! Will it be possible to get rid of the tank wheel sounds? Abs

The Colonel is right. Next time make sure that you're qualified to call them UK. I heard that the Queen was handing out qualifications over at Buckingham Palace. Turth be told, some people ought not to look too far before calling others self-righteous and snotty. He made these addons to have fun with. He's British, and wanted to put his homeland's flag on it. He's learning how to make addons. Leave the guy alone. Dan9of9, if you need help in any way, feel free to ask me. I'm only a modeller, and I'm new to ArmA editing, but I'll do what I can for you. Abs

I think the NIM mods 3d clouds were transfered over to Armed Assault. Abs

Being part of one mod wasn't enough. I need at least 5 more for my sig I accept BD. I would love to join your mod. Tell me what else to make, and I'll do it Abs [Edit: I work faster than SniperSkull, anyway ]

Couple of issues... 1) It's his first day making addons. Don't be so rough on him. If you look at his earlier thread, you'll see he spent approximately 7 hours learning how to make an addon standalone. It's this kind of dedication that ought to be welcomed in the community. 2) They could be fictional units for all anyone cares. The game just got out a few months ago, and no one can really play around with the models yet. @dan9of9: Keep it up, mate. Good on you. If you keep on practicing and learning until the tools are out, I think we'll see some stellar addons from you. Cheers. Abs

Hello! I very interested am in mod - is very nice! How much? I make this one it for you. Hope you liyke! Abs

So, is this an addon or a mod you're making, or what? Abs

A quote from a great man. He is wrong, though. We heard of ArmA in May 2005, and it's first release date was Q4 2005. How I know this? Cause I started my website in August 2005 - which would be kinda weird if the game development started months after... Why, oh WHY are you saying this again? If you actually read the quote, you'd see that I do infact state that ArmA was announced in May 2005... How does that POSSIBLY conflict with your info? Take like 2 mins to actually read the quote, then have a poke around the screenshots on your site. You'll see that I'm correct... Sorry, my fault mate. Although I still cannot see why you can say the game development first started in 2006. That the screenshots are alot nicer is very clear, but that is IMHO part of the development of a game. The game has been under development far longer than what we assume, just look at those littlebirds and rotor wash... I have seen them somewhere before - and of all people, you should as well. That and the fact that it is simply a build on an earlier engine. Maybe it was from ofp leet? and that littlebird sure looks like the BAS model... At what point though do all models start to look alike and become nigh impossible to tell apart without an exaustive raw model audit? Besides, iirc only the UH 60 and CH 47 models were significantly new, the OH 6 and OH 58's were tweaks and mods of the BIS models. but arent the BIS models the BAS ones ? No, we're saying the BAS models are BIS models, not that BIS models are BAS models. No, his saying BIS models are BAS models. thats what i've been saying from the start. i mean why would BIS make new models if BAS had better ones? No, I said BAS edited BIS models for the OH 6 and OH 58, and integrated small portions of the BIS models for the CH 47 and UH 60. Which was wrong, because the OH-6 was an entirely new model at the time we released it (the OH-6 had never been an "official" part of any BIS product until it was included in VBS1) People, some folks like ArmA, and some don't...can't we just leave it at that without discussing every detail of every aspect of its flaws and shortcomings? Abs

Whatever happened to the cadpat you were working on? Abs

Thanks man.

Would it be possible to post an addon request thread as a sticky? It's taking up a heck of a lot of time to read all sorts of threads in Arma addons and mods discussions that are just requests. I mean, you see a title about artillery and get excited that someone is working on it, and then it just turns out to be a damned request. If we can't do a sticky, maybe you guys could make it a formatting rule to put [REQ] in front of the title of a request. I, as well as other people, would really appreciate it. Thanks, Abs

I think it looks great! Keep up the great work. (Though I'm still secretly hoping to see an update on the C7A2's ) Abs

Hello, I was wondering if I could request some pictures of the M113 that's in the game? It doesn't really matter who does it, I'd be grateful if I could see it from all sides though (maybe 2 or three pictures?) Thanks. Abs

It's great that you're thinking about it...but what do you think will need to go into making it? There aren't even women in the game because there are no animations for them. You'll need a compotent animator...and I hate to say it, but those are rare in this community. If you want my advice, learn how to model first...if you know how to, then try to join another mod team to gain some experience and learn how things are done. Don't just jump to the top and try to become a mod leader, because without the needed skills you can easily get demotivated when your fellow mod members don't do any work. They'll also be demotivated when you can't give them the help they need. Just think about it. All the best. Abs

I'm pleased to announce the newest addition to the ONS mod: The Multi-Mission Effects Vehicle (MMEV). This is the only type of vehicle in the world, as it can handle direct fire and non-line-of-sight vehicles and aircraft. Right now it is being evaluated by the Canadian military for possible production. I know it isn't in use yet, but I needed to make the ADATS turret anyway, so I thought I'd quickly convert the LAVIII and kill two birds with one stone. Abs

Can you make the "Reno 911!" guys? I think they're the best sheriffs in the world. Just joking....but your addon is progressing REALLY nicely. Good work! Abs
