Moving to A&M:C.

Desert Marines Woot!!! Thank You!! They already come with m16's, they have awesome textures, and will go nice with Dry Sara!

+1 WL for writing in all capital letters.

WOW.. Nice..

Reminds me of BF2.. ooops

They look great, thank you and congrats .

Wouldnt mind wood marpat too, to complement the pack and reduce dependencies and confusion..

Shouldnt there be 2 reflective...something in the goggles strap (back)?

Reminds me of BF2.. ooops

Stone him!

Great addon Jonny

Nothing else to say.

Two Questions

1 - Is it possible to replace these guys with the Acu Soldiers so we can play with em on campaign etc...

2 - Now since your textures are so good, would it hurt to make woodland marpat?

..would it hurt to make woodland marpat?

Certainly not him, but someone else

To your other question: It´s possible, yes.

But only w/o the weapon loadouts and you´d have to live with either modifiying your original characters.pbo which would make all future patching go fubar, or having the file duplicated in a modfolder which costs alot of disk space.

Two Questions

1 - Is it possible to replace these guys with the Acu Soldiers so we can play with em on campaign etc...

Yes it is just take the textures from the "JOH_DesMarpat\data" folder and put them into the "characters\data" folder.

2 - Now since your textures are so good, would it hurt to make woodland marpat?

I hope that i can release the woodland version together with a little bugfix and an updated readme tomorrow  

edit: bugger burns was faster...

Cool, thank you

These look fantastic love to see what you could do with MARPAT

Awesome

Reinstalling to have a look.

Good stuff!

This addon would receive my "Jahves seal of approval" but i made a typeo in it and im too lazy to make it all over again.

Hells yeah! Looking really good *downloading*

Real nice Jonny, good work mate

Nice work, i hope you'll release woodland marpat asap.

Nice one!

Woodland grenadier is missing an M203 though.

Awesome work!

Marines are now ready to attack north sahrani!

But i have a noob question about marpat: what's the difference between this and this despite brightness differences?

Nice work, i hope you'll release woodland marpat asap.

Btw, reminds me this.

Jonny's look better, but so do the Arma models.

But i have a noob question about marpat: what's the difference between this and this?

Lighting and age.

The same way ACU looks different in many pictures because the lighting is always different, camera flashes, ambient lighting, exposure etc can all cause the colours to look completely different from one picture to the next.

Plus the number of times the uniform has been washed can cause the colours to fade/dull.

Edit: I wish I could spell...

Awesome work!

Marines are now ready to attack north sahrani!

But i have a noob question about marpat: what's the difference between this and this?

light and some other photo technical stuff i wont go into, but basically different photograpers and different setting on the camera)

thats the biggest difference anyway...

Nice work indeed. Do keep it up
