canis lupus

just a small update.. didn't make as much progress as I would have liked but it'll come soon..

First screens of the Civil defence and some scenery, a wall and a shelter

would be a good idea.. i didn't intend to make this an american based mod anyways it's just that I already had usable textures for them so it was pretty easy to get them started.. I can't say when I can get to it but I will put it on my to do list for sure... a really worn down UN helmet would be awesome..

thanks everyone so far buildings is pretty much in the hands of IceBreakr since he is making an island and I'm not.. yet right now I'm working on some new units and a few objects I decided that the remnant us forces was too simple and sort of predictable then I saw this movie about the cold war effects in the us and the civil defence that was established at that time and thought those could be better they are fictional though they look like army soldiers but has the civil defence batch on the sleeves I'll post some screenshots as soon as I can.. funeral is on friday so might not be before next week though..

sorry I've been a bit quiet a few days my grandfather just died so there has been quite a bit to take care of.. I might not make too much progress the next week but I got a bunch of new models started so shouldn't be too long before I got more to show you..

got it working now.. just a small error in the config.. now I just need to fix some small problems with the placements of the units in cargo couple of new screens of an armored truck

I'll make another more combat worn bus this one is mostly ment for civilians.. @Icebreakr I tried that doesn't seem to help

preview of the bus it still needs a bit more details and such and the interior needs a new texture And I need a little hellp with the config on the bus, only the driver and three passengers can get in it how do I change that?? Drivers view: Passenger view:

that would be great.. my problem is just that I don't know anything about making weapons but if you can get me a weapon pack ready to use I can retexture them and if you can make it with some unbinarized models I can add some details to them aswell...

yeah iknow what you mean, something not really ment for battle but more to drive through rubble and debris.. I'll start working on a bus soon..

Nice work.. they don't even look like conversions

the infantry units work pretty much as they should... I was hoping to show some vehicle screenshots tonight but unless someone got a vehicle config for dummies it might take a while I can't get it working at all... oh here we go it works.. my first vehicle ever still needs a bit work on the textures but pretty much as it should be rusty and weathered no windows and more will come..

forgot about all that but just looked into it and yes they work just fine, it slightlu different editing units for arma2 and in some ways.. blood textures faces, expressions etc. its a lot easier it pretty much just work by itself.. I would love to make a trailer movie but if if I try my framerate is so low it going to be a very bad one, would have been awesome to have ArmaVidz make a trailer for this one aswell.. wounder what happened to him..

it will take a while for the mod to be finished.. But I'm going to release a beta before too long basicly containig the units and a few objects this is just a few of the many many objects that are on the way... well.. couldn't help myself..

if you use the larger mods together like SLX and ACE they will create some problems.. I'm not having any problems with accuracy on my end.. your father should be able to tell you that hitting a moving target is a lot harder than you should think and I think arma is pretty realsitic on that part.. but your right they sometimes take a long time to fall down.. my advice keep an eye on the addons news sites sooner or later there will be addons or mods that has fixed those problems..

great work.. its going to look just stunning with even more ruins arround it..

thanks that should help alot.. yeah the identety types are under controle.. but I'm not sure how to disable the glasses though and some units look very silly with glasses...

yeah I remeber the wound textures was a pain back then but I'm happy to say that they all work this time... I'm not to sure about the faces though I'll have to take a look at that.. I have to get the languages fixed they seems to speak pretty much whatever they like, not sure why yet.. sounds kinda funny though and perhaps it would be right for the resistance might give the feeling that they would be from different countries or so.. but of course remnant us forces should speak english and I was thinking english for the new order aswell

@LiberNull777 Never seen the road but thanks for the pictures they are exactly what I need .. wounder if its possible to make units push a shopping cart.. and ofcourse I'll have to find that movie it looks cool... I'm working on some "leftovers" from old armies like BDU and ACU wich I think alawys fit in a post-apocalyptic scene... I'm just not sure where to put the at the moment, naturally the freedom fighters wil use some pants and jackets, like the tigerstripe one, but I was thinking about making a new faction based on a remnant force of the U.S. Army in ACU.. I found plenty of inspiration in fallout3 its not what the mod will be but some scenes on the map fits in so I might run through it again and take some screenshots to help me out with objects later on.. right now I', just focusing on the wasteland warriors and a few objects, a teddybear and a doll

just had a look at the stadium it looks absolutely amazing it would be perfect to have on the map.. I'm not sure how long before I can release anything but there is going to be a release without the map because thats what will take the longest to make and the rest can easily be used without it what I've shown so far is only about a mounths work so who knows in another mounth or two a lot can happen... An additional wasteland warrior.. just before I call it a day..

I'm thinking more in the lines of a city like Pripyat damaged not by the blast but weathering and years without maintainence.. a ruind city after a nuclear blast would be quite hard to get right, so far my plan was to have two sides of the map that would look like the chernobyl area and then in the middle a wasteland where all the radiation really has destroyed everything.. and then to add just a little more "action" to it tons of leftovers from war.. and what I personally think will be the key to a really great map, objects that are signs of a previous life in the area and placed so it really looks like time just stopped at some point. if you think about it, a realistic map of a city hit by a nuclear bomb would be quite scary but in the end boring, it would just be flat more or less..

A ruined stadium seems like a very nice touch to a post-apocalyptic map that would be great.. would be a great idea for a market place or something inside it.. possible for rpg style missions.. I'll have to make some market booths aswell.. here's a couple of new screenshots Wasteland warrior.. the first of them New order roadblock and one of the many improvised toys for the resistance

Icewindo the tomb might make a great secret underground base for the freedom fighters or wasteland warriors.. yeah so far I have done everything myself.. but any help is welcome there will be some different vehicles some custom made ones with added parts and such and then some more regular ones for the new order not sure what to make of those yet though.. I was thinking a fictional country it might be too hard for me to make a proper real location, it would be cool though and having some sort of well know land marks on the map.. so I won't rule it out completely yet

@PROTOTYPE 001 I was thinking about some more specific apocalyptic looking backpacks and other sorts of equipment you might wan't to use in a situation like that. But I can make two versions of the ones with backpacks so that they can use the ones from ACE aswell, and ofcourse some are not ment to have backpacks or anything not all should be travelers, I need some very sad looking ones to live in the areas occupied by the new order.. @HarryZhe I was hoping that I in some way I can make everything look greyish on the map once I get to it. as for the backstory its really up to the mission makers I just base all the models after that idea I'm sure alot of people will change that. @Undeceived I remember I was very new in all this back then and I was very happy to see that my units were actually used despite the many bugs.. I just wanted to start all over because my skills are alot better now and I wanted a more complete mod this time. Yes I did change the nickname, I used to be Agamoth @IceBreakr that sounds brilliant it will take me a very long time to make a map, I don't know how yet, being the main problem, so a map that fits it all would let me release a beta at some point without everyone waiting for the map. thanks again everyone, this is a huge project a lot to cover so please keep the suggestions comming

thanks everyone.. not too sure what to make of the civilians just yet.. but I was thinking something like traveling looking for food and water with backpacks and ofcourse rag-tag, beaten and wounded etc. mission ideas sounds good, I'm defenitly no mission maker so I'll leave this to all of you and its nice to hear that I can inspire ideas already...
