This is the WIP of a NorFor pack i'm working on, which will also be its own faction under blufor. As for now i've only done the first two units (pilot and assault) thus far, but i am working on others as well. I am hoping to release a early alpha version of it soon - And from there continue to update them, I also have dreams in the future of getting the HK416 included and some more things, but modelling is not my forte so that will not happen for now anyway.

i'd also like to put some templates out, but for that a tutorial explaining how you in PSD easy make it so you can apply a texture without it going over boots and so on would be nice. Good job by the way!

Hello all. I am making a unit pack for A3, and i have some questions related to the config here. Say i want to include a vehicle such as the new blackhawk stealth heli, how do i progress? I have already edited one PSD file for it that add some markings on the exterior. And then does the same go for other vehicles to? I already have my units as its own faction so idealy i want vehicles under it so when you spawn it the pilots in my faction will be piloting it. And this is my first time doing this, so config is a bitch.. But i also unfortunately got an error today when trying the beta with my units, any idea why? It wasn't there before the beta. Thanks in advance for all help.

bump.

Thanks. That did the trick :) So, anyone knows what i would do to include the stealthhawk heli as you see behind here http://i.imgur.com/h3mhtHH.jpg (240 kB) Idealy i want my pilot to pilot it when you spawn it. Thanks in advance!

Would be great with some tutorial explaining how you apply oa, height and cavity and all that in photoshop, as it would make putting a new texture alot easier.

I got an error with the unit addon i am working on, which wasn't before this update. Any idea what i can do? 'http://i.imgur.com/JkgINgP.png (420 kB)

Thanks it worked perfect. Only thing is that the helmet won't appear on the dude. But, you just helped me make my first addon ever and i do feel a little proud even though it isnt much to be proud of. Other than a base template in arma 2! It still requires alot of work and i need to figure out how to add the helmet, but it worked. they also don't show up in the inventory, or they are there but no picture or anything.

Well it didn't work in CS5 for me, so i saved them in the taga format, then with textview2 converted them to paa format. Issue is however that ingame it says textures can't be loaded. Here's how my CFG looks like: any idea what the issue could be?

Right, but how do i save them back to the PAA format?

So i've been trying to create textures and i was wondering how i convert these files: to the required paa files for usage ingame since obviously just psd won't work.

Oh, anybody know how i actually replace the woodland layer with another texture? I have another cam oi'd like to use but how do i actually apply it? - And after that how they are put ingame.

Could someone be so kind and post the photoshop files for the green flight suit on blufor?

Quoting what another guy wrote on a another forum. And i agree, M4's should be in this game, or atleast a fancy new version of it.

I can read, and it looks like just the same engine. Keep in mind, i love ArmA, but, better vehicle physics, and way better animations, as well as not being so heavy on the computer, i would not say no thanks to.

same game, with same engine as ArmA 2, only with futuristic vehicles? no thanks.

I bought both games. And, well, i was in spain - didn't have internet there, so i bought the game.

High because i actually liked the game?? And laugh often when knox talks?.. Um, no.

Well, love arma 2. Have arma 2, arrowhead, all dlc's and so on. Tons of mods as well, love that game. And i hated the first game, but this game? I actually liked it. And staff sergeants knox quotes makes me laugh often. This game is actually not that bad. And please, don't be so dumb that you actually personally attacks the developers. They don't deserve it, its just a game. The first game may have sucked so much, that there is not even a word for that level of suckiation. but, this game was good. Only thing i have to say that sucks? That there is no mission editior, and that bloddy annoying bleeding thing. That one day, that one time when somone says in a war. "Waait, i just have to use this medic thingy to patch my gunshot wound. Even tho i got shoot 9 times before this" Then pigs can fly. And it may be me who is bad at giving orders. But, my teammates run infront of the fire, even though i say "cover this area" and back and forth and so on. Codemasters should maybe stick to making cars running on a dirt, because they are in a reace, instead of making cars with guns on them. But, this game - was actually not that bad. If they make a new game, where they are able to either gtfo with this bleeding thingy, include helicopters, have the option to either say gtfo to your teammates, or make them invincible. And, have a good mission editor and a better MP. Then, that will probably become a very good game. This game was atleast much better than that shitty'fucking game called black ops. Even empty new folders have a bigger entertainment value than that game. And as that DEV said. If you want a sim, play arma 2. This game just have a little simulation in itself, but that's not really an important part of it. Inb4 To long, didn't read. P.S I feel that most of you hate this game because everyone else do. Its like justin bieber, we all hate that guy, we just do - thats how we roll. well i do hate him -but you get the point.

But there is still the lingering matter of *witnesses*. I admit, I have a fascination with those who adopt and survive against all odds... they rather remind me of myself. If for no other reason, I have argued to..."preserve" you, for a time. ..... Subject: Shephard. Status: Detained. Further Evaluation Pending.

Will shepard be assigned to the Hazardous Environment Combat Unit ?

Haha well. And im still on SG-1....

And i'm still just on stargate SG-1 Season 3 :s

Im pretty sure that ANA is bluefor, corrupted, bad, yes. But still blufor.

and i'd like to see a mi-28 ,*)
