Greetings from Turkish Union Mod! I know this is an old thread but since our team member, TU_Garyosavan, newly informed me about his reply, I would like to make this credit issue clear for everyone. It has been around 2 years since we released our last mod for ArmA I and we had paused modmaking untill a couple of months. During that period we did gave permissions to independent Turkish authors for modifying our addons However, these permissions are not valid today. We are getting back to the scene with real hardcore stuff soon and therefore all previous permissions from TUMOD are invalid now. Of course, we would like to thank the author for their "attempt to create" their own Turkish addon by modifying our previous ones. Thanks for credits and we see your positive intentions and perseverence on addon making, however addon making requires extensive research and hard work for genuine quality output. If you don't give up, you will be good. @community, we will inform you on our ArmA II progress very soon. Keep in mind that Turkish Union Mod (TUMOD) is independent from other Turkish authors using this Forums and our only website is www.turkishunion.com Best, TU_Gokhan www.turkishunion.com

Super realistic fun! loved it! Of course the game has its limitations but this addon brings a new dimension in the end... I'm sure MP bugs can be fixed to a degree. Also thanks for supporting our mod with your addon. Best regards, Gokhan Turkish Union Mod

Congratulations on the update Rellikki! Looks really striking. I loved the release screenshots! Best Regards, Gokhan Turkish Union Mod

You can also check the configs out if you are familiar with the structure... Stay Tuned! Gokhan Turkish Union Mod

@LordNeuro*Serbia* Thanks! We're planning to produce our OFP content for ArmA by time. Stay Tuned! Gokhan Turkish Union Mod

@Manzilla Thank you dude. It's great to know that we're speaking the same universal language; "peace". If you decide to come to istanbul just drop a line before your arrival man. @sakura, SWAT.TR, Pauliesss Thank you guys! Instead of YPR series, we're planning to produce ACV300 series which is modernized Turkish version of YPR765. Otokar Cobra LAV Series is what we also crave to produce for ArmA as our other OFP vehicles but probably Cobra will not be included in the next release. Best Regards, Gokhan Turkish Union Mod

Back, @FLv*VeNoM* *Thanks. *Come onnnnn, I painstakingly wrote the names of the weapons. Go read them, dude! @FLv*VeNoM* + Turku *Yep, we have plans on producing more weapons used by our army but new vehicles has more priority indeed... @Asch Turkish Army puts heavy use of mg3 as you probably know and although it isn't dominant m240 is also used. Thanks. @Grim_Fandango Thanks man, glad to hear these nice words. It would be good to see you here for summer vacation maybe? (now felt like a tourism bureau clerk. No, I'm not. ) @hypno toad Thanks man. I think now all you need is killing Velox terrorists. In the end they are just terrorists killing innocent people. No nationality is needed to be involved in... Also persons dedicating their lives to terrorism are not called fighters. Mass media creating fake "freedom fighters" from losers nowadays... Guys, my early request is please don't drag the thread into politics. Thanks in advance. Gokhan Turkish Union Mod

Lee_H._Oswald, loved your screen! Greetings to Germany! For G3, we have acquired special clean records of the weapon for shooting and reload sounds. Reload sound is edited to be synched to the reload anim. About the model, check this out: Gokhan Turkish Union Mod www.turkishunion.com

Thanks man! "horizontal flag"?! :P You mean "streamers", I suppose. Well, they were decorative objects used for taking screenshot. If you need we can give its p3d or pbo. Do you plan producing mission or something? Gokhan Turkish Union Mod www.turkishunion.com

@El nino Foxhound, Stavanger; Guys, thanks for mirroring efforts. Both pages look very neat! Also thanks to other news sites for mirrors. Some community websites publish news if the author contacts them only. Site admins, if you reading this thread, feel free to announce, mirror, start forum thread about our release. We don't have enough time to contact every community website and discover fresh ones over search engines. @Lone.Wolf; Thanks! *the special forces in snow camo: why not! we can think of this for upcoming releases. @Messiah Good to see you here! Yep, such a breeze... we need vacation really. About bug reports; Thanks guys, we will investigate about them and update if necessary. @Miles Teg; Thanks for your detailed report and nice words mate. 1) Terrorists' bug: we have nothing to do with them. Please contact the author, Velox. 2) Almost the same with 1). however, it's strange that no one else reported such a mission-based error. I contacted a couple of Turkish downloaders today and all said it's okay. Investigating through Turkish forums now... Btw: did you obey your briefing according to your players' role? If there were no enemies on the mountain top, corresponding objective is supposed to be complated right away. It's the same for other triggered zones such as the centre of Obregan. 3) Investigating... *About Turkish editor names: we used English for the main definitions and Turkish names for characters to convey "local feeling". Let's call it a little "obscurity spice". Though, you are right, it would be great to include translation in the readme file. Thanks, we will do that for the update. *Turkish_Music.pbo: The idea sounds great! Sure we can do... Btw: Here is the link for the tune used in the demo mission. Sedat YUCE - "Hero". No need to repeat that it's copyrighted and belongs to the artist, Sedat Yuce... *About M60 tank request: we have a semi-finished leo 1 tank in hand. We're gonna complete it first.

Oh it is. I'm fully satisfied by my initial look at the units. Very well done. This is a great example of why it's usually a very good thing when a mod takes a long time to be released. You guys sure have a good eye for detail. I look forward to futures content for sure. Thanks Rakgitarmen, Manzilla! Btw, I checked the files one more time but it gives no error on my comp. We will investigate about the error. Maybe some version bug... I've been informed that guys from armedassault-turkiye.net are now playing the mod and no problem spotted yet.

Thanks guys! Manzilla, Lee_H._Oswald, Mr Reality, glad to see you again on another release thread. Faithful community feeling... Gokhan Turkish Union Mod www.turkishunion.com

This is a signed mod with our newly registered tag, "TUMOD", however, we kept our old initial, TU, for the file names because this project began with our old initial, "TU", and now it would be exhausting to rename the entire project.

Hello, As you know, as Turkish Union Mod, we’ve been modding since 2004 and released a couple of free addons for the community, supported Bohemia Interactive Studio in Turkey and recently acquired 65 Turkish members founding our Turkish forums. We discussed this issue as a little Turkish community and below you will find our message to the author, the community and Bohemia Interactive Studio. We accept that this issue is somehow related with politics however, we can’t express why we are offended and requested the author to change the name of his project without touching some points lightly. First of all, of course this is just a game and modders are free to create their projects their own way unless harming others. We think that showing understanding and sensibility to each other is the essence of the peace in this community. This is why all of us sharing our creations and supporting this game. Although this is a game, if someone comes with an addon whose name refers to a separated map of your country, this offends you and you express him/her what this is all about and why you feel that way. Then it’s time for showing sensibility, understanding to each other and becoming a community. For example Cervo says that he doesn’t really care about religious jokes but some others do care about. This is also valid for mentioning about borders of your country or a name which is sensitive to you since it’s not a “natural†name of the area but loaded with special meanings over the time. Kurdistan is such a name and we expected the author, VladAlex, to show sensibility and change the name to make a peaceful gesture as we expressed our reasons. Of course there are books written 100 years ago which include the name Kurdistan but those times the conjuncture was different and it was not associated with a map and a separatist idea. Since 10-15 years, this name is being associated with a “big idea†and really offensive to the countries whose are shown as parts of this fictional land. No one wants to give their land and no one wants to see the name of the dream country of the separatist terrorists on a computer game. Till now, we haven’t posted our opinions and requests on this thread because such explanations about the name would drag the topic into politics naturally and this could lock the thread. We didn’t want to lock it and preferred sending PM to VladAlex. But he posted our “private message†on his thread without even asking. This attitude was not mature and friendly to us. As a response to our requesting private message, he has sent us a rude, insensitive PM. So, are you going to give “democracy lesson†to Syria, Iran, Iraq and Turkey with this addon?! This is a shame as far as we’re concerned. Then, he “gave us a chanceâ€; started a debate and reached his quick conclusion after taking 10 messages. It’s sad to see that people in this community don’t see that UN, GB, US don’t recognize Kurdistan officially but the majority of mass media pumping propaganda messages about the area and showing the Turkey inside of fictional Kurdistan. Even CNN and BBC... The last week BBC showed a cropped Turkey map (the southeastern part of Turkey was cropped) and according to the news the area was called Kurdistan and PKK terrorists attacking to Turkey were not terrorists. As Turkish Union Mod, we don’t really care about CNN or BBC but we do care about this community and this game. We always did our best to communicate peacefully but apparently some people are really insensitive and hostile in this community. Even BLUFOR and PrivateNoob called us “fascists†judging our request message which was ending with two “requesting†lines! We can’t really believe that all of these happenings taking place in this community. Of course, we just requested him... However, if we are offended, VladAlex, why are you still insisting on using this name knowingly? Our projects are very similar and we can even support each other in a peaceful way. You are working on Northern Iraq but still insisting that it’s called Kurdistan. Our final remark is for Bohemia Interactive Studio and the community; Ok, right now there is no explicit forum rule about this issue but what will happen if people begin to release separated maps of the countries according to their own ethnic, cultural, regional, religious, or better agenda-based dynamics or simply name them in a similar fashion such as; France: Algeria and the rest United States: Afro-American and the white part … We think that, such addons are simply insult to territorial integrity of the real countries such as Kurdistan for Iraq, Turkey, Syria and Iran. Therefore, we think that Bohemia Interactive Studio needs to define a clear rule for their forums accordingly and the community should only embrace peace not the intentional messages pumped by mass media and other sources. Best wishes Turkish Union Mod

Cheers back! Yep, we planned to launch the mod before March however, we spotted various points to be improved & completed while tests. We don't want to release it with missing points and then releasing "bugs-fixed" versions since this all means waste of time, effort, interest and bandwidth for the community. For example, our pal Cervo from ArmedAssault.info will announce and host the mod as both full bundle pack (around 200 MB) and seperate addons making the whole for who would prefer to download only specific units from our mod such as special forces or weapons. (Thanks Cervo & armedassault.info) We don't want to waste his and other webmasters' time, efforts, uploading some 200 MB and re-announcing it. and your, as downloaders... To sum up, the best thing is releasing it when it's really completed. Beta tests are almost completed. No more beta testers needed now. Thanks for your interest. I will write about the progress again. Stay Tuned! Gokhan Turkish Union Mod
