    Someone would need to remove the aft door and then build an entire well deck from scratch and likely link it with the already existing hangar that's beneath the flight deck to establish some type of usability, not to mention the geo lods or whatever else there is that I know nothing about and how the size/length limits to the physics engine will stack up where multiple pieces of this ship are concerned. I'm going to use the samples of this to start trying.. Wish me luck..

    Sounds like a mission. Well good luck and if you accomplish this task, you will go down as one of the ArmA greats. I'm pretty sure there were some LHD's in Arma 2 that had working well doors, so maybe having a look at them would prove useful. Again good luck.

    post from craig which he wanted me to post on here after asking him if he could update the Marpat camos which I will be soon switching too:

    "first post on here so go easy with me lads lol, i got your message marcus, u.s pack was my first and biggest and i must admit most of them do look nasty, i have already started updating them not all but only a few at first, i will also add those 2 that you have mentioned marcus, i have already redone the acu camo but i am going to add another version so there will be 2 acu, i will not change any class names so you should be ok only redo camos and add the officer uniform which i have named work uniform and maybe add some more baseball caps

    just thought that i would mention these

    here is my sp pack lastest update which was yesterday http://www.armaholic.com/forums.php?m=posts&q=25866&n=last#bottom

    uk pack update will be released tonight

    Id second this suggestion for BDU's and DCU's instead of Navy AOR's.

    How about some optional configs to crew community-made ones like RichardD's Humvee pack, and perhaps AiA US Army vehicles?

    I would like to add some optional configs for community made ones, like the one you suggested, I dont think I will for AiA vehicles because I don't have any of the previous Arma's, and the AiA SA is too large for me to download.

    I will have a look at the Humvee pack, but again I need to first figure out how to place units in a vehicle through the config.cpp file. If anyone knows how to do that, any help is appreciated.

    Hey Marc, just in case you missed my question a few posts back.

    I have really no experience porting over anything from A2 so unless I learn how to, I wont be porting anything over.

    I do plan on putting my units inside some of the standard vehicles, once I figure out how to do that.

    Great units and thanks for the release. I have always been a big fan of Craig's uniforms, so it's a pleasure to see someone incorporate them into an addon.

    I think the Navy camo's look great, but as stated they are Navy, and I feel are a bit out of place for U.S. Army inspired units (especially with the Navy patch on their arm :p). I think a more suiting desert and woodland camo for U.S. Army units would be standard woodland and Tri-Color Desert BDU's, as these can still be commonly seen within the Army's special operations community. Once again, no big deal what-so-ever, love the units either way and figured I would chip in my two-cent.

    Yeah its one of my pet peeves for this mod so far, the only problem is that the US Marine uniforms in Craigs pack I feel are too pink, also the Tricolor camo was used in the 1990's, so it did not suit the look I was going for (Primarily Marpat camo). So unless he changes them in the future, I might have to stick with these ones, unless I can figure out how to change the uniforms name, which I dont think would be that hard, but then I would have to ask Craig for his permission.

    Suggestion - I'd remove the Kevlar Helmet you added and go back to the default MICH/ACH, which is what is currently issued.

    We haven't worn those old-school PASGT Helmets in over a decade.

    Alright I'll have a look and see how they look because the only real reason why I have used those PASGT helmets is because they have the matching camo with the uniform, but I will see how they look.

    If someone could try to get in contact with one of the Play with Six admins, because my mod on Play with Six has the wrong rh_m4 pack, so its not working. I have tried messaging them, and posting on forums, but haven't received a response yet. Thanks

  12. Posted

    I'm not sure what you meant by that.

    It's best to set it up like the default nato groups. Essentially just replace Nato infantry with yours. Might have to change unit numbers in squads but for the most part it should be the same.

    The only reason I ask to add placeholder vehicles (ie, just nato stuff) is because it makes alive able to use a whole army rather then just your infantry units

    Yeah I have added some groups for testing and they are working so now I am going to find out how to spawn units in vehicles then I can save those in there aswell so Alive will be able to use those as well like you said.

    So once I get Play withSix squared away and everything is working perfect in game, then I should have an update with all of these features in it. If all goes well I would expect it sometime next week.

    It's a suggestion, no need to be rude. I make mods myself, I was just saying the AV units looks, a LOT better.

    I did not model any of these units, all of the uniforms and player clothes are from the US Pack by Craig, and the weapons are from the RH_M4/M16 pack, I just simply made them into playable units.

    I'm not sure if you know or not, but the woodland and desert camo is actually marine's MARPAT and desert MARPAT, which means, they're not ARMY... but then again, it's just a minor thing.

    Yeah I know, also the Desert camo is Navy Arid II, which is a navy camo, but the desert digital camo used by the Marines in the pack just didn't give the right look for me so I went with the Navy Arid which I think looks alot more like the standard desert camo at the moment.

    Back to the other camos, I couldn't do anything about the Marine camos because that's just the way they are named in the US pack so unfortunately I cant change that but its not that big of a deal.

    This compatible with ALiVE?

    If it isn't already, would you make it so and add placeholders for groups that aren't already made (ie, helicopters, tanks, ect)?

    edit*

    Just tried them out and they are easily my favorite units now. One thing I dislike about a lot of unit modifications (my personal opinion, no insult to the makers) is the lack of "bulk" to the units. They typically don't have near the amount of equipment that most infantry carry on them. These guys are perfect though. My unit will def be using these if you make it compatible with ALiVE. Like I said, placeholders for vehicles and aircraft would be nice, so the units can spawn a whole army. I wouldn't add the recon to ALiVE though, as it doesn't really handle special forces. Again, thanks man!

    I'm not sure how to make them compatible with Alive, but I will have a chat with the Alive guys and see if we can work something out.

    I'm glad that you like the units, and yeah I will have a look at making it Alive compatible, I think that would open it to a larger audience as well.

    Well done with the mod

    Thank you. Hope you enjoy.

    New mod v1.0 available at withSIX. Download now by clicking:

    http://img-cdn.withsix.com/mods/rv/@us_army_a3.png

    Not sure if you are apart of the PWS team, but if you are could you please change the required mods, because the RH_M4 pack is not linked correctly. I think you may have linked the RH_m4 pack from Arma 2 because my mod is not working. Therefore could you please change the required mods and remove the rh_m4 pack in there now, and replace with the RH_M4_A3 pack by Robert Hammer. Thank you.

    Thanks for sending us the release :cool:

    Release frontpaged on the Armaholic homepage.

    ================================================

    We have also "connected" these pages to your account on Armaholic.

    This means in the future you will be able to maintain these pages yourself if you wish to do so. Once this new feature is ready we will contact you about it and explain how things work and what options you have.

    When you have any questions already feel free to PM or email me!

    Awesome thanks Foxhound. Also check your PM's, I just sent a question I had. Thanks again.

    to add to EvanCat's post, a replacement config is a file that overrides in-game files, you just define a new path to unit/item models for the respective units/items you want changed.

    you pack your file as a pbo along with all the needed models, launch the game with it activated as a mod, and your items in the game have different models, but only visible to you. so it's clientside only, and people don't have to have it to be able to play with you on the same server

    Oh I see, alright sounds good. Alright well I will have a look at it, and if I want to do that in the future, then I will.

    Thanks for the help guys.

    a-) It is a good measure to post a link to the threads here or armaholic download page from those addons above' date=' just to help out those interested on your mod, but not yet familiarized with those said mods ;)[/quote']

    Just did that, thanks.

    ;2724842']

    b-)There´s no optional noTFAR addon in this first release' date=' are you including it later?[/quote']

    I will look at including it later, along with other options such as RH Pistols, and BTC weapons, but for now I'm going to keep it like this.

    Hope you enjoy it, all feedback is welcome.

    I will also update with a Armaholic link, once it is approved there. I am also in the process of messaging Play with Six so I can get it uploaded on there.

    Stay tuned for those links.

    I will not be making anything in this pack seeing as I have a lack of modeling knowledge, so all credit for the assests used in this addon will go to the people above.

    Description:

    The addon will add the US Military as a faction in the game (See screenshots below).

    I don't want to upload more pictures, because there are over 96 units, which would be alot of picutres.

    Also sorry for the bad quality, I am on my laptop for the next month.

    JayJay - For original Loadouts

    JoshNZ - For help with the config

    Teeha - For the original Config.cpp file, which I based my addon on

    Note:

    This is my first mod, so please, all feedback is welcome. Thank you for your support.

    This addon was never meant to be 100% accurate because I had to work within my limits of the mods I was using. Therefore the loadouts are not going to be perfect, and nor is the camo or vests going to be the ones used in real life.

    ;2724236']Hey Marcus' date=' could you include an optional config without TFAR? I would use your units in SP missions mostly, and I don´t use TFAR when playing solo.[/quote']

    Yes I will probably include a version without TFAR.

    ;2724236']and on the RH thread you´ve given us the idea you´re creating a replacement pack for NATO to look like your screenshots... I don´t oppose the idea of another addon with US Army (your concept and Av Ind have diferent approachs) but if you include a replacement pack with your mod it will be quite popular down here ;D

    Sorry if I was misunderstood on the RH forum' date=' but I cannot create a replacement pack for the NATO faction in the game already because that would require editing of game files, which is not my 'cup of tea' so I am sorry but I will only be creating a US faction.

    ;2724236']and what Ckrauslo means is that Craig uses retextures of vanilla assets, while AV IndUS has vests and other assets modelled to represent current US gear... but I think his work is fair enough (RHS and SOC mods will bring all in depth and detail we need... later!)

    Yeah I understands what he means. I am also really looking forward to RHS AFRF and USF. I think those both will complete the game in my opinion.
