canis lupus

exactly like that mr. Burns, what I had in mind was for all who could be interested to make one personally for me, I figured it would be a nice way for all you guy's to contribute to this addon and you'll of course get mentioned in the credits... another reason is that if I use something I find on pictures like those I'll be using someones real life missery and I don't really like that idea...

never got that PM coma73 but sounds interresting... the latest progress on the atmospheric objects and then I have a request for you all, picture the scenario that the third world war has broken out and its all gone very bad, the people know the end is near and start postig notes on poster colums to their friends and family... what would these notes say any idea will do need a lot of them...

thank you all for the kind words... @Snake Raper I missed that because only some of the units have that bug, it has been corrected now though, I simply attached them to the wrong parts...

teddy grenades... would look great, a nice comic releaf compared to my next line of ideas, some atmospheric objects, so far a destroyed pram and a burned doll, hopefully giving the mod a creepy touch to it... some better screens of the armed maria model you might call this a bit of a waste but its pretty clear that its female eyes above the mask an personally I think that looks awesome, this one is just a test though got some rough edges

I just found a game called the Crown, you play as a ghost researcher, you don't kill the ghosts, it has a great atmosphere and some pretty scary moments, but I wouldn't call it a scary game its a very calm game... I must say its a long time since I have enjoyed a game as much as I have this one

The opfor will have the same uniforms, indicating that they are well organized, they will wear armbands wich indicate that they are memebers of an organization and not an army, there will be nice and clean looking leaders, using the opfor officers models, they will also have the same weapons but not from the same country, the main riflemen will have G36c's and another will have AK's but not the big varition like the others... not sure how much relevance this has got to post-apocalypse strugles but I just loved the idea of an exploding teddybear also in use on a webbing... and there's some good news for you Wolfrug, guess what it is...

I tried that already, had the same idea the addon need women badly... but the maria model is totaly screwed up, if you put it in the game the hands are... well kind of all over the place... I'm going to experiment some more with it but it seems like the model is useless... need to learn to make weapons as well I really want to see some of them with hunting rifles and a sawn-off shotgun

well I didn't plan to make regualr civilians even though I'm not the biggest fan of the ones in arma, I did plan to make some civilians looking like they are dominated by the guy's who has taken over, not sure if they should be in the same uniform like clothes, like in HL2 and Equilibrium or if they should just be worn down and rough civilian clothes I'm working on the Opfor units now and will release them as a seperate addon, it will still require the freedom fighters though...

can anyone tell me where I might find some help with turning the pipebombs into grenades, never amde any form of weapon before and I'm not very experienced in configs either... I tried using the propane bomb as an IED, with the IED addon released long ago... worked great but what I need is big flames like the napalm addon, not that big perhaps but you know where I'm going, but I'll need some help with that too... at least the model is done about the vehicles, I plan to try it out, first attempt will be an armored truck, or the bus, like in dawn of the dead however thats completely new to me so it might be a while before I get any progress there

thanks Stavanger good to see some screens in a little better quality. it was supposed to look like somebody elses blood on the medic... and good news to those who don't have QG, I don't see any reason why I should use QG stuff anymore, every new addition to the units will me made from scratch its way more fun that way... should anyone find any shadow problems please make sure to post a screenshot of it because my performance is so bad lately that I can't even turn on the shadows for a quick look, the game just crashes if I try

thank you for the mirror... I hope this new version is better, at least the faces are working... I have forgotten to mention that I'm also working on some toys for the units Pipebombs, wich I hope I can get turned into grenades for them at some point a propane bomb, to use as an IED or something

thanks for the kind words guy's update is on front page

well the model has some faces connected with them but that don't stop them from having custom faces just only a few of them, could it be that the addon restricts the faces to the ones in the addon folder? EDIT- never mind got it sorted out now, custom faces are fully functional so I just need to ajust that to all the units and I'll have the second beta ready for you meanwhile some screens of some of the new units in the update sorry about the poor quality but my computer really hates me at the moment am I right to assume that the color tones on this one is way better than the others??

okay so it turns out the random faces only half work, before I binarize them they work perfectly, after there's only a couple of faces that is used, I looked at some of the other addons that has been released and it seems they do the same, so is it either my arma or is this as good as it gets??

didn't miss them the class namse are FREE_RIF1 - FREE_RIF28 as I can remember there's a few more in the update and I kind of lost track.... and todays good news I got the custom faces working so an update is well on the way just have to remake the config a little and finish up some loose ends here and there and I'll release it... new version will include the opfor units and four winter units I got the faces working after studying YacieK's config for his fighter pilots for some reason it worked using his config layout, not sure what I did wrong but who cares... anyway I owe you one Yaciek

no, but I have tried to add them but no matter what I try they just won't work...

making groups is a little new to me but I wan't to so I'll give it a try... I'll also give them some other names so they might be easier to keep track of, maybe I can even divide them into groups, like heavy and light gear and early and late points of the strugle or at least something like that here's a quick idea for some enemies, taken its not tribal war

I ment it for you to make you own loadouts since there is already a lot of good weapon packs out and everyone likes different gear... I'll make sure the update will have unbinarized config file to make it a little easier

I can't do anything about the faces at the moment... about the mud textures, once I get some more experience with texturing I'll get them to look more like mud and worn clothes and make sure they fit the patterns... once I get more progress I will make it a larger mod, with both the freedom fighters and their enemies, wether that will be tribal war or a combined fight for humanity isn't decided yet, I agree that in a situation of tribal war things like racism will be an issue but I'll have to see about that once I get some more work done... however I won't make the mod so that you can put races up against each other because then we would be back at conflicts seen in the world and this is about conflict never seen before

yeah sorry forgot to ask what do I write in the config to get them to be on all sides? and I still need help with the custom faces bug, can't figure that one out but since other mods don't do that there must be a solution

here's an example of a winter unit, made him in a normal version aswell not sure how to make that fur arround the hood yet but I'll figure something out I kind of figured since this is supposed to be a post-apocalypse addon the winter should be a hard one and therefore they should have some heavy winter protection gear a couple of other versions

Well thats good to hear Benoist I can't tell if I have it since my arma performance is always different I got the idea of more homemade gear for them tell me what you think...

I can't tell why they would slow the game down but I'll take a look at it after I fix the custom face problem... I'll see what I can make of that request Snake Raper I'm working on some brand new designs for them, can't tell you much yet though but any hint to what I'm aiming at is welcome

I'm affraid I don't know how to make replacements but I belive they are usually done by someone other than the addon makers anyway... if someone is up for it please go ahead, but might want to wait untill I got this face problem solved

okay now I get the the same too, seems to happen when I pack the addon I'll try to repack it and see what happens... EDIT- okay it happens when I binarize the files, anyone know why?
