Killochs Multi-National Pack Version 3 Description: Killoch's multi-national pack is a retexture pack ( Created by myself ), which aims to bring a huge variety of Infantry units to your games in a single pack. The pack features 57 "factions", or distinct groups or camouflage patterns, and well over 300 Gear items to achive this, which represent a dozen real world groups, including the USMC, US Army, Russian Federation, Peoples Republic of China, North and South Korea, New Zealand, Australia, Finland, Norway, Germany, Canada, the UK and Ireland and many other fictional Generic groups. Though Intended primarily as a Gear pack, from where you can make your own loadouts, the pack comes with a limited variety of AI units that can be placed in the editor for all 57 Factions (489 AI units) and placeable groups. Understanding the constraints and headaches of creating a Modpack for groups, The filesize has been kept as small as I could and comes in at ~340Mb. The pack has no external Dependencies. V3 Update It's been a long time coming but V3 is finally here. There have been a lot of changes to the pack, which now features over 360 gear items representing 57 factions. This update brings in many new nations such Iran, Israel, The Czech republic, Ukraine and others as well as expanding the UK gear into a proper faction and refining some of the more heavily used units such as US M81 woodland, 3co Desert and the PLA factions. Other nations such as the US are expanded with new patterns such as Multicam, and my own take on Scorpion W2. The appearance of MANY of the units may have changed somewhat in this update. My aim was to improve the quality of the as many textures as possible as well as to expand the variety. This is an example of the kind of update you can expect from V2 to V3. I hope you enjoy the selection. One thing to note, as of V3 the three .pbo's are No Longer independent of one another. This was done to reduce filesize owing to an increasing number of shared assets between the .pbos. I hope you understand. A List of the 57 Factions Included can be found below, and a full Classlist is included in the download.

Cyruz on how to modify the pack with custom weapons

The armour values are custom, but based almost exactly on vanilla values. There are a few exceptions, such as the LBVs which offer light armour where the Vanilla LBVs do not.

Updates Yey! Sorry to have two updates this close together, I guess this is update...3.2...ish. Anyway, I've finally got around to fixing all* those bugs you asked about ( * = probably ). The specific changelog is as follows: Reattached arm muscles to several new soldiers, they can now throw grenades and place explosives Added new Irregular winter units and their hats Unblocked Coyote Backpacks ( Thanks to corsa1r for pointing this out) Fixed broken Police units Added new PLA temperate "Artillery" pattern and Police Special Forces Pattern and some associated gear Added Hidden Festive Jumpers Added "Tan LBV"'s, identical to the Vanilla OPFOR LBV with some armour added in Un-Ruffled VDV Beret Washed Tiger Stripe boonies until they were as dull as the uniform Added some sort of urban digital urban pattern Revised the USMC patterns Added a number of 1960's African Merc. inspired patterns incl. Bush camo, French Lizard and "Duck" Iranian uniforms no longer need testing Thanks to corsa1r for spotting the backpack bug, I'd not known about it until just now. Also thanks to everyone else who has reported issues. Unfortunately for the time being I am only able to support the mod as a gear pack, and not the many units included. This is simply a matter of time available to me due to work obligations etc.. This means no weapon replacement versions from me. That being said you are As always free to take the pack apart and do that sort of thing for yourselves/ your groups. Re: XMLs I don't know why they don't work specifically, they are lost in some sort of circular scripted black hole that I've not had time to untangle.

Minor Update Day Hi folks, Sorry to any users who have been hoping for updates, I've been working and had extremely little time to put into this. That being said there will be an update soon on SIX to get the Armour working with the new PPS update, it should give all armor in the pack working values. I expect to do another revision in a few weeks ( that may slip to the end of january ) for the purpose of refining these armor values. As penance there are a few additional Uniforms in the update, not a huge amount like the last few updates but some interesting things including Tropical/Green Type 07. SIX should update "soon" and other download links will be edited to this post as they become available. Initial Google Drive Link Again sorry to any users and groups that use the pack.

Best of luck to the ACE3 team, I admire your goals and look forward to seeing what I'm sure will be a defining mod throughout the ARMA community.

I appreciate the bug report, I'll have a patch for these along in a next chance I get.

I'd also like to say thanks to all the groups that have elected to use this pack in their modsets, It's very gratifying to see the gear popping up time and again in peoples videos. Thank you!

Hey guys, thanks for all the suggestions you've been making, I really appreciate it. Unfortunately these days I don't get a huge amount of time to work on the pack so I just can't follow through on every request made. Right now I am working on a new update, it should include several new nations and patterns, as well as many revisions of existing gear to hopefully improve the quality. No promises on who's in or when's it coming, I just don't want to disappoint ye, but not too long.

On the ball as always, I guess I missed that again :p. Thanks!

Update to V2.1: Download Apologies to anyone who experienced the strange armor behavior up to now. The pack has been entirely updated and brought back into line with standard A3 armor. Most armor pieces will be less resistant to small arms and explosives are once again dangerous at close range. I've also included everything new I've worked on up to now. No new groups unfortunatly, but you will find a dozen new Backpacks and 9 new PASGT helmets, once again thanks to Sudden from E vs. W mod. Example of the new PLA helmet: http://i.imgur.com/Ok7vxgC.jpg If anybody experiences any bugs or strange behavior please let me know. Many thanks!

I've actually been looking into the exact same thing the last few days and it seems that I've fucked up the Armour values somewhat noticeably. Basically the current values are both too high on most armor pieces, and very similar to "grenadier" vests from BI, which are made to resist grenades. The result is that grenades even at PBR are not fatal, and small arms are dealing less than intended damage. Serious apologies to everyone who this has affected. There will be a fix along post-haste, tonight if possible. I've not yet gotten around to any new factions but It should include a few new things, which I hope will make this up to ye. My bad, Killoch

Thanks man, I've got a few ideas for what to do next, Japan, Sweden and Denmark come to mind. The next update will likely come as an optional extra with some nations and a few of the backpacks people have been looking for. If you ( or anyone else) have any suggestions I'd love to hear them.

Just had someone else ask for this too, so yes.

Thanks, I'm going to like to this from the root. To be honest until you mentioned Arctic backpacks I'd not thought of it, I'll include some in future updates. Thanks!

Unfortunately I didn't have access to any such models. I did my best with what's already in game. There's no British AI units included, and I didn't include them in the list (it was just a time thing) However there IS british DPM and Desert DPM included. I decided against including MTP ( and aussie MCU ) due to how similar to the already in game Multicam it is. I wanted to focus on distinct patterns for the most part. This was just a size thing in the end, I really wanted to keep the filesize <250Mb ( And did so ), and backpack textures as big as Clothing textures that add much more variety. In the end I felt the backpacks in game already could do the job nearly as well at 0 extra download.

Version 2 Release: Thanks for your patience everyone, I'm very happy to release to you V2 of the Multinational pack and it's even bigger than hoped for. Right now the pack represents 41 factions/groups and contains over 200 gear items. Now included are the USMC, US Army, Russian Federation, Peoples Republic of China, North and South Korea, New Zealand, Australia, Finland, Norway, Germany, Canada, the UK and Ireland and a stack of generic factions. The root post has been updated with a full list and some example images, but for now here's teaser of what you can find inside: Dropbox: Download

Thanks man, that's what I was going for. It's taken a bit longer than expected but the next update is nearly done, it's got quite a lot of content, over 200 objects total now, as well as revisions to old stuff. There's a bit of a jump in filesize, likely to just over 210mb (from ~150mb), but the content per-meg should be the same or better. As an example of (Some) of what you can expect here's a (Work in progress) teaser.

A quick preview of some of the stuff I'm working on for the next update (WIP): http://imgur.com/a/vmUpi Should feature North and South Korea, Finland, A stack of generic camo patters ( M81 US Woodland, 3 Co US Desert, Olive Drab ) and a Desert Equivalent to the the existing Volunteer Militia units. Should Probably also contain an Arctic patterns for each side. Many thanks to Sudden from East Vs. West for the Soviet Style Helmets.

I've been using mikeros eliteness for my config snooping, which seems to work nicely. Use it to unpack the .pbo, navigate it to that folder, highlight the config.bin, Right click and De-Rapify. Then you can copy the info from the eliteness window to Notepad++

To be honest the units included are only half based on the show, mostly as I'm trying to keep the factions as diverse as possible for now. That being said, I do hope to give another pass to a few of the factions, the ASA, Australia, the LVM and Revolutionaries for a start. Sorry, For now at least the plan is to keep this an Infantry pack. As for Korean units, I have been considering adding North & South Korea in the future, so we'll see.

That's the plan.

Not specifically but I would like to expand the Opfor and Inde packs in the future, so I'll keep it in mind. The Local Militia included might be a good representation of Eastern European rebel groups.

Doing this for 25 factions might take some time, so I really cannot promise it will be done, but I will definitely look into this if I get a chance to. Uniforms need to have at least one Ai unit associated with them as far as I know ( Just because of how A3 works ), the included AI and groups are fairly minimalist, can I ask for my own interest why you'd like a version without any units or groups. In any case I will include ammoboxes in the next release. I tried to use the defaut backpacks as much as I could for the sake of keeping the filesize as small as possible, however I'll try and add a few more into the next version. ( Also, the PLA has 4 backpacks included, 2 in 2 patterns. ) If you have any specific requests let me know. Not so much a design decision as a technical one, until the last update (i.e when this was being made ) the Clan Logo and Insignias went on the little pocket flap squares, the last update moved them down to the pocket proper, which is more accurate for US units. WRT having alternate versions without flags, as I said earlier one of my hopes for this mod was to keep the filesize as small as I could ( Moderate Success? ). If or when I add more content I'd prefer it to be adding more nations and factions than variations on what's already included. I hope you understand. Thanks everyone for all your support, Killoch

I've been working on a number of reskins which included African and Asian factions, and I'd like to have the African/Asian faces be the Default AI appearance. I've searched around the forums and wiki but I'm still none the wiser about how to do this. Any help you can give would be very much appreciated. Killoch
