Preparation H

Hi there... wow...i wrote my last topic on this forum in september! I've been very busy, so i had to slow down the work on my projects...by the way, even spending a little amount of spare time per day on this addon, i succeeded to complete it. So here it is: i've just released on my site my new Agusta/Bell AB-412 R.E.O.S. (Reparto Elicotteri per Operazioni Speciali - Special Operations Elicopter Unit) of the Italian Army. The R.E.O.S. provides support, transport, cover and insertion platforms to Italian Army's Special Forces (such as the IX Rgt. Paracadutisti d'Assalto "Col Moschin" ...visit my site for the addon ) and Special Operation Forces (such as the Battaglione Alpini Paracadutisti "Monte Cervino). The addon derives from my USMC UH-1N (released on March 2005) includes six variants of the helicopter: - TRANSPORT The transport version is the simplest version of the helicopter. It has no weapons and can be used for utility missions; - MG-42/59 Armed with a side mounted MG-42/59 machine gun; - M134 The M134 version is very similar to the MG-42/59, but uses an M134 minigun as weapon. It can fire the entire 4000 rounds ammo belt in about 2 minutes. - FFAR The FFAR version is armed with two 2.75†FFAR pods. Each pod contains 7 FFARs. - M134 + FFAR This version is armed with both M134 and FFAR rockets. - INSERTION The insertion version is just an MG-42/59 variant of the helicopter with some new cargo animations. Here are some images: And here's the download link: http://ofpwhq.altervista.org/modules....&lid=25 Mirrors are welcome! WARNING: TO WORK PROPERLY, THIS ADDON NEEDS THE ASZ_PILOTA.PBO FILE FROM THE GREAT PEDAGNEMOD BY ARREMBA SAN ZORZO! PedagneMOD site: http://ofp.gamepark.cz/_hosted/pedagnemod/ ASZ_Pilota.pbo: http://ofp.gamepark.cz/_hosted....ota.zip I hope you'll like it... Ciao!

Hey Hidden... i like your anims very much! They look great on my 412... I still don't know if i'll ever work on a 1.1 version...by the way, in that case, could i have those anims to release them as part of the addon? (obviously giving you a "special" credit)

Excellent work mate! A great addon as always...the Spec Ops version is a masterpiece!

WOW!!!! That's awesome mate! Keep up the good work!

I've made a little mistake in the credits guys... I forgot to mention the BW-MOD for their MG3 and the Rotor Dust script: i took them from AfrographX's NH-90 beta version. Sorry for the mistake guys, and thank you!

Oops... I'm terribly sorry, i forgot to send you the psd i promised...i've just sent you a pm with the download link! Sorry again...

What about a winch script on the rescue version?

WOW! Thanks pal!

THX M8! Thank you all guys...i'm glad you like the chopper. About the ASZ_Pilota.pbo error: since PedagneMOD uses my weapon pack, the helicopter pilot should have my Beretta 92F...try to download from my site the PRPH_GUNS addon and the PRPH_AMMOMAGS... If it works just let me know! I'll update the news on my site to warn people about this issue... Thanks again!

AB-412 released! THREAD

Thx pal! Link above and those in my site have been corrected...sorry!

No prob m8! To install the anims on your chopper you have to change position to a couple of proxies in the P3D file... As soon as i get this release done (almost finished ) i'll send you a mail explaining what you have to do to use those anims...

Hi there... hey SWAT, keep up the good work! I really like it! No, it's from the same author you asked the permission to modify the UH-1N... No problem for the anims...I'm going to release my new AB-412 (i'm writing the readme right now), which derives from the UH-1N too. As soon as i get the file released you can take the anims for your helo. Oh...i almost forgot: i know... that position outside the helo could seem impossible, anyway i've seen a pictrure where a GIS (Gruppo Intervento Speciale - Italian "Carabinieri" special counter-terror unit) operator stood on the skid waiting to be inserted...

Oh man! Thanks raptor for your soon reply...there's something with my profile then... I tried to link my avatar and the banner in my signature with HTML and with BB codes, anyway nothing happens. It could be caused by the rejection this forum has with my site: i'll try to move the images somewhere else...it's quite strange by the way: everything worked fine for months and i didn't change my profile... Btw, let's get back on topic...

Hi guys... It's been quite a long time since my last release in this forum but finally the day has come. It's since the 1.1B release of the USMC UH-1N that i work on this new project, and now it's time to give something to the public. My new project is the IX° Reggimento Paracadutisti d'Assalto "Col Moschin" (something like IX Regiment Assault Paratroopers "Col Moschin"). The "Col Moschin" pack comes in 0.6 version, since it's far to be completed: i still have to make Covert, Night and Recon versions and some more models for Combat version. Anyway the v0.6 includes five variants of the combat version with three different models: Incursore (Intruder), the standard model, Grenadier, with some pockets on the left leg and on the vest for grenades and Machine Gunner, with four big pockets on the vest for mg ammo boxes. The remaining two variants are sniper and AT, both using Incursore model. I've built the models using BAS Infantry Kit. There are no special actions (such as "Raising goggles) or features at the moment but the units use new sounds for movements. I want to thank Arremba San Zorzo since he gave me the permission to use whatever i needed from his Italian Army units of the PedagneMOD. Another big "thank you" goes to AimPoint who created the new boots model (textures are mine..they're a bit ugly so don't blame him for them ). Let's talk about the Weapons Pack. Every weapon comes in 1.0 version and has new sounds, new optics and for most part of them, new models. In this release there's a complete basic set of weapons: 14 variants of the M4 SOPMOD assault rifle (made with M4-Kit by Inquisitor), 3 variants of the FN Minimi machine gun (i used as base model the M249 made by OFP Gulf War Crisis Mod), 2 variants of the H&K MSG-90 sniper rifle and 1 version of the Instalaza C-90 rocket launcher. There are still many weapons i have to work on anyway: Beretta 92F, Glock 17 as handguns, Sako TRG-22, Sako TRG-42 and Barret M-95 as sniper rifles, Panzerfaust 3 and Gill Spike as anti-tank weapons and Steyr AUG as assault rifle. If you want to know more about the project and about the real IX Rgt. you can read something on my site at Preparation H OFP Defense Systems (i changed its look and its name...does someone remember the name Preparation H OFP Addons Workshop? ) You can download the 6 files directly from my site (i tried to insert links here but it seems this forum doesn't accept this kind of addresses http://ofpwhq.altervista.org/modules....lid=15) ...but i hope somebody will create a mirror as soon as possible!!! Here are some screenies of the various addons:

Not yet. I'll create groups in 1.1, together with Desert BDUs and the remaining weapons of the set: Panzerfaust 3, Sako TRG 42, Sako TRG 22 and Benelli M4 Super 90. [OFF TOPIC] Hey guys do you see the banner in my signature? I can't see nothing...Probably i have a problem with my FireFox browser, anyway i want to be sure about it... Thanks [/OFFTOPIC]

thanks mate! I don't get that error...fortunately the units are available! I'll check the config.cpp to understand what's the problem... The link on the site has been fixed!

Oh...i'm sorry...i forgot this forum doesn't accept that kind of address. I don't know why..

After two months, here's the 1.0 release of the 9th Regiment. This new and complete version contains 49 variants of the intruders in woodland camo, new weapons (such as Barrett rifles, pistols, Gill Spike and MP5) and new and improved versions of the already released weapons. Concerning the units, i reworked all the models and now each category on which the units are divided (Combat, Recon, Covert (day), Covert (night), Night, Escort) have its own peculiar model. Further, inside each category, soldiers have their own models depending on the role the have. But now, let's see in particular what has been done in the 0.6-to-1.0 process: - several new models; - old models have been totally reworked; - many 3D details and textures have been replaced; - each category and each squad member (machine gunner, grenadier, etc.) has its own peculiar model; - many textures have been reworked; - AI has been improved; - new Distance and Shadow LODs; - added animated Litton AN/PVS-7D Night Vision Goggles on night versions; - fixed textures and 3D bugs; M4 PACK - added signal flares; - added grenade reload sound; - fixed the reload sound bug; - some minor changes; SNIPER PACK - added M82A1; - added M95; - darkened MSG-90 textures; - MSG-90 sight has been slightly adjusted; FN MINIMI</i> - reload sound bug fixed; - minor changes; AMMOMAGS - added new mags used by new weapons; - adjusted some parameters; - some minor changes; AT PACK - added Gill Spike missile launcher; - the C90 optic has been replaced with the real one; And, as I said before, there are some new weapons not included in the packs listed above: - Glock 17 - Glock 17S - Beretta M92FS - MP5 - MP5 Aimpoint - MP5 Eotech - MP5SD6 Aimpoint - MP5SD6 Eotech - MP5 Full Optional (handle, double magazine, Aimpoint, AN/PEQ-2) Some images: http://ofpwhq.altervista.org/modules/News/screenshots/prph_IXCM_1.jpg http://ofpwhq.altervista.org/modules/News/screenshots/prph_IXCM_2.jpg http://ofpwhq.altervista.org/modules/News/screenshots/prph_IXCM_3.jpg http://ofpwhq.altervista.org/modules/News/screenshots/prph_IXCM_4.jpg http://ofpwhq.altervista.org/modules/News/screenshots/prph_IXCM_5.jpg http://ofpwhq.altervista.org/modules/News/screenshots/prph_IXCM_6.jpg And here's the link to download (a mirror would be much appreciated! ): http://ofpwhq.altervista.org/modules....&lid=24 I hope you like them! Cya!

Great work guys! I really like these Japanese units...it's really interesting to see JSDF weapons and vehicles! Keep up the good work!

Maybe...but i would just modify AI parameters since i believe i won't work on uh-1n 3D model anymore. Anyway, i don't know what i have to do to improve AI behaviour...any suggestion? Please answer on the dedicated thread, since we're getting off topic ( ) : http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin....hl=uh1n

I've posted on my site some new screenies (Glock 17, MP5, Barrett M82A1 and M95). Here are the addresses: (it seems this forum doesn't accept this kind of addresses...just copy/paste them on your address bar then... ) http://ofpwhq.altervista.org/modules/News/screenshots/m82_1.jpg http://ofpwhq.altervista.org/modules/News/screenshots/m82_2.jpg http://ofpwhq.altervista.org/modules/News/screenshots/m82_3.jpg http://ofpwhq.altervista.org/modules/News/screenshots/m82_4.jpg http://ofpwhq.altervista.org/modules/News/screenshots/m82_5.jpg http://ofpwhq.altervista.org/modules/News/screenshots/m82_6.jpg http://ofpwhq.altervista.org/modules/News/screenshots/m95_1.jpg http://ofpwhq.altervista.org/modules/News/screenshots/mp5_1.jpg http://ofpwhq.altervista.org/modules/News/screenshots/mp5_2.jpg http://ofpwhq.altervista.org/modules/News/screenshots/mp5_3.jpg http://ofpwhq.altervista.org/modules/News/screenshots/glock_1.jpg The second set of weapons is complete and now i will focus on units. I hope to complete the 1.0 version as soon as possible!

Thanks again for your help and appreciation! I'll do my best! I often post news about work in progress on my site...if you want up to date info check it out since i update it almost everyday in this period!

Thanks Belgerot! Very useful (and beatiful i have to say ) images! I was looking for them! I plan to make desert units in 1.1 release...I will soon release version 1.0 with complete woodland units then i will work on desert textures for 1.1. I think 1.0 will be released together with Gill Spike, Barrett M82a1 and M95, MP5, Glock 17 and Beretta 92FS and 1.1 with the remaining Panzerfaust 3, Sako TRG 22, Sako TRG 42 and Benelli M4 Super 90.
