As some of you know I have been making mods for games since I was in the Marines playing Rogue Spear on the weekends. I am very thankful to you and everyone else who has enjoyed the many addons, mods, missions and music I've made for games like Operation Flashpoint, Armed Assault, Rogue Spear, Empire Earth, Star Wars Galaxies, Ghost Recon, Soldiers: Hero's of World War II, etc.... I never did any of this for personal satisfaction, the satisfaction I got was from hearing how much "you" enjoyed what I made or how you wanted to see this made and I'd do it for you. That is what has always driven me; you the consumer. But due to some things that have happened in the past 8 weeks I don't think I will be able to focus and work on any of this or any other mods for games ever again. (My Fathers health is deteriorating and he will not live for much longer; and I came home to an empty house to find a note from my girlfriend of 5 years saying that she was not happy and wanted to move back to California, if anyone wants to TP her house for me I’d appreciate it, she lives in Sacramento) I have lost the taste for video games and I have not played since that time. Moreover my new $2000 computer I bought just for ArmA sits in the corner collecting dust and I've sold all my games, joysticks, etc... Except for ArmA in the hope that I’ll want to play it again one day. I am very sorry but I have just lost all my drive to do anything. I will talk to Average Joe and Deanos and some others about turning over everything that I've done to someone who is mature and can complete things. I have 100's of textures for civilians, military projects completed... I just never finished the configs for them. I really wish I could complete all of this for you but someone else will have too in my absence. Who ever takes over will have most of the work done for them so if it's a team you should see the things very shortly. My main choice would be the Crime City guys but they are more scripters, they have a surprise for you but I don't want to spoil it and ruin their thunder. I promise you it will move the earth when you get to play it, think evolution but as Cops and Robbers. I am so happy that I could have been apart of this community and to have brought some enjoyment to your game play through the SWAT stuff or in the old days of Ackropolis on Karrillions server. And if you are one of those young addon makers out there who has all these ideas but you don't know where to begin, never give up, talk to people that know stuff and learn and grow from them and one day you'll be right up there and a jack of all trades. Just don't give up this game needs you and your ideas even if it's a Star Wars Lego Mod, Dinosaurs etc... Very Respectfully, Charlie "Ack" charlie_spruce@hotmail.com

If any of you have played with this addon you'll receive a nice big error upon loading. I depbo'd it this morning, no more errors. General_NS gets full credit for this addon, all I did was fix the config file. Change log is below. - Ack "Charlie" Change Log: 6-28-08 class CfgAmmo was incorrect class CfgMagazines was missing data class Mode_SemiAuto was missing data class Mode_Burst: Mode_SemiAuto was missing data class Mode_FullAuto: Mode_SemiAuto was missing data Download #1 Download #2 *Screen Shot*

My bad I have not been in this forum for over a year, I Apologize. WOW someone actually knows who Frank the Bunny is, I'm amazed. Donnie Darko is a great movie.

Looks good, I like the variety. However you need to add the slanted pockets on the shoulders as well as put a dog tag in the boot. Maybe throw the name tap on the fanny pack as well as the rank centered on the flak vest. Since Lance Corporal is the largest rank out of the 225,000 Marines I would sugest making your basic rifleman this rank but it's really your preferance. Just trying to help. Other than that I'll be downloading them to have some fun. Example: http://s204.photobucket.com/albums....MP3.jpg - Ack USMC

Special thanks to the following people. This would have not been possible without them taking the time out of thier day (some times night) to help me. Ebud Deanos Beanos Powerslide Officer "Tom" Cameron McDonald Average Joe (AAZ) & his brother Ryan WIPMAN *UPDATE* - June 22nd 2007 Download (Full Download @ AAZ) Money Pack - By Frodo Bank Robbers v1.0 Heavy Bank Robbers and Heavy SWAT I have finished the Bank Robbers, Heavy Bank Robbers & SWAT. Download links are above. I'm very sorry but I cannot get the rvmats to work correctly at this time with the bank robbers. I hope you enjoy them anyway. In addition I have pasted my bank robber face below for anyone who wants it. My good friend WIPMAN created it, all I did was modify the mouth eyes and nose. The only known bugs with these is I need to flip the unit icons which I will do this weekend for you mission makers out there. [/url](Large Image) Download "AAZ" I have finished my Dallas SWAT units. This version comes with the following units: Dallas SWAT, Navy, Officer Dallas SWAT, Navy, K9 Dallas SWAT, Navy, Sniper Dalals EMT, Navy Dallas SWAT, Woodland, Officer Dallas SWAT, Woodland, K9 Dallas SWAT, Woodland, Sniper I'm sorry if you wanted my uniformed officers but they are not completed yet. I will release them in the next update of this pack. - Ack P.S. - I have another small announcement to make. Delta Hawk who has produced some excellent Police Interceptors and Officer_Eric and myself have joined forces to bring you an even greater LEO (Law Enforcement Officer) experience. Expect some great updates between the three of us in the future. If you are a modder and you would like to work on our team please contact one of us.

http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb106/ack2007/brob_textures.jpg If someone could take a look at this I'd apprecaite it. I have been able to get the wounds to show up on every model but this one. All I can get is the face and hands. Config Excerpt: class Wounds { tex[] = {}; mat[] = { "ca\characters\data\hhl_tvreport.rvmat", "ca\characters\data\hhl_tvreport_wound1.rvmat", "ca\characters\data\hhl_tvreport_wound2.rvmat", "ack_outlaws_1\data\tvreport.rvmat", "ack_outlaws_1\data\tvreport_wound1.rvmat", "ack_outlaws_1\data\tvreport_wound2.rvmat" }; data\ bank_rob_body_01 bank_rob_face_01 tvreport.rvmat (repathed correctly) tvreport_body_nohq tvreport_wound1.rvmat (repathed correctly) tvreport_wound1_nohq tvreport_wound2.rvmat (repathed correctly) tvreport_wound2_nohq Model: All paths reflect correctly Any help would be greatly appreciated. Even if it's just an educated guess, Thank you -Ack P.S. - I tried looking for mods where someone had already done the wounds but I could not find one.

*ISSUE RESOLVED, THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP WITH THE CONFIG* I am currently looking for help, so if you have experience please let me know Thank you. <<<<<BIGGER IMAGE>>>>> Above is a current screenshot of what the Dallas Police Units are looking like. My final goal will be to remake over the entire uniform and all equipment. (JUN 6th 2007) - Ack

I love it

Deanos was working on that, but people pissed him off. No clue if he'll finish it now. @ those people. - Ack

A spy-rigging addon would be leet, nice idea. - Ack

If you are looking for tougher AI but do not want to have them be crack shots, download my heavy bank robbers or heavy swat. They take 3 headshots, or 13 shots to the arms or 20 shots to the chest to kill. It's not for everyone but some people requested it. - Ack Link

Very very nice, good work. - Ack

Good Stuff I can't wait. - Ack

Not yet I'm taking a break from releasing stuff to get you some buildings. - Ack

Solution = ARMA Watch Just wait it will come out soon enough. -Ack

Solution = ARMA Watch Just wait it will come out soon enough. -Ack

Excellent work. Any plans to remake the Nym's Carbine, or Lava Cannon? - Ack

Excellent work!

It's not mine, it's actually Delta Hawks, but pic's of it can be found here: *LINK* - Ack

@ Charles - I don't want to ruin the surprise but something is in the works. Again I dont' want to ruin it but I promise you will be happy. The only hint I will give you is "GOL Clan". Warning you, this is a spoiler if you figure it out. - Ack P.S. - I seriously need some help so if anyone knows anything about modeling, texturing, etc.... please contact me. I don't care if you only know how to model basic objects that will be fine, thank you.

Thobe - Why do men in Saudi Arabia wear Thobes? http://www.toursaudiarabia.com/thobe.html Ghutra - Gutra usually worn in Saudi Arabia http://www.desertstore.com/pages/mensclothing.html I've spent my share of time in the Horn of Africa, Afghan, etc... - Ack P.S. - I have my own collection of Thobes, Ghutra's and Prayer Rugs as well. But alas my girlfriend won't let me put them any where but my Marine room *sigh*.

It's called a "Ghutra" and the man-dress is a "Thobe". - Ack (corrected miss-spelling)

Nice Gigan, looks like the guy from KOTOR. - Ack

Major just cut out the mouth and paste it into the other one. It should take you 2 mins with photoshop. -Ack
