Aeneas2020 10 Posted November 12, 2009 (edited) British Special Forces (Generics Not Intended To Be 100% Realistic Just Practice) Ok guys i posted in the WIP thread (page 93) but i figured i'd make my own thread here...basically i'm going to get into some modelling but i wanted to get back into the texture game after a while out. So i decided to do a quick reskin of the force recon models. They are just generic brit spec ops and not designed to really be accurate other than to get my some decent DPM panels worked up. Anyway screenies included. The desert ones are still WIP and the Temperate ones have everything including the bush hat etc textured. I really need someone to help me package everything up and get it in game though because atm i'm just overwriting a friend's addon using his .paa files. As he is currently "overseas" and won't be back for some time i could use any help on offer thanks! p.s. I was going for a kind overwashed, faded look with the desert stuff but i think i went a bit OTT as the pattern has basically vanished...hmm great.

Haven't started the direct action guys yet but i'll make sure i do a variant for them. Edited November 12, 2009 by Aeneas2020 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stagler 39 Posted November 12, 2009 UKSF operators have freedom to wear whatever camoflage they like, mix it up a bit and put some black jumpers or combat pants in there and they will be sorted. Slap a Union Jack Velcro on their webing somewere, if you want ill send you some of my skins i use to show yer what i mean. Stagler Out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aeneas2020 10 Posted November 12, 2009 thanks for the post...i have mixed versions done as well but i just thought i'd show the basics off for now, i've been known to post about 50 images before and that is something i wish to avoid on this forum :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1in1class 0 Posted November 12, 2009 Looks nice. They need some Uk gear not the vanilla USMC gear that would be vary nice. Helmets or what not for there head not the vanilla hats and bandanas dont see British Spec ops wearing bandanas and baseball caps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex72 1 Posted November 12, 2009 Yeah more mixup would be good. They look a bit too much like the standard FR guys (woodland). But i think youll get it with some gear mixup. Good start. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stagler 39 Posted November 12, 2009 Something akin to the SAS of COD4 wouldnt go amiss, they just looked bad ass. Baseball caps with union jacks and black commando jumpers, mega. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Helmets or what not for there head not the vanilla hats and bandanas dont see British Spec ops wearing bandanas and baseball caps. Well like i said before they are just reskins nothing more so as far as new head gear goes you probably won't get that. As far as baseball caps go yes they do wear them but i don't think i've ever seen a bandana (although funnily enough i had a friend in the artillery who had a british DPM bandana, which i think was civvy bought, we used to call it his combat hanky). What i really want is some helpful coder to come and help me out so i can get them just to wear the beanies and bush hats. Not sure if thats possible. Also as noted in the WIP thread they will continue to use M16 variants as it is unusual to see UK SF use SA80 variant weapons, although i hear it is becoming more common now anyway for now they will stay as they are.

SD_BOB 10 Posted November 12, 2009 (edited) Af far as OTT for the dessy's, i'd say they look spot on (ive got a pair or trousers that are so faded they're almost white). Definatly leave the green shirt though with the zips on the arm, doesnt look right in dpm. Seen as the yanks insist on rolling sleeves up, i would maybe just "dirty" up the rollups on the temperate units. Make it look like some cam cream has been slapped on. Looking shit hot though m8.

I was thinking about this last night...got the day off work today as there is a bad storm rolling through the area i live in. I have an old norgie (those who have been in the brit forces will know what that is) I was thinking of doing the green jacket thing like that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SD_BOB 10 Posted November 12, 2009 Yes m8 that would work well, it would definatly keep the british sf "dirty/scruffy" look :) Plus norgie's are always a winner... I quite like the idea of the civi hiking style jackets over dpm trousers aswell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aeneas2020 10 Posted November 12, 2009 Ok some mixed units (threw in a couple of shots with SA80s...using UKf weapons and Landrover). Notice the team leader is wearing a tan shirt (dirty) http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m140/Aeneas2020/day3a-1.jpg Also did a skin of the TL in a checked shirt just for the hell of it. http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m140/Aeneas2020/day3d.jpg http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m140/Aeneas2020/day3c-1.jpg as i keep saying i could use some help configging these guys. I think binkowski said he would help out but any other help is also appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SD_BOB 10 Posted November 12, 2009 (edited) The teamleader with the plain tan shirt looks good m8. Not too sure about the dessy tops over dpm trousers, bit too much of a contrast imo. The plate carriers break it up a little, but just looks funny. Possibly try it with dessy trousers/dpm tops if youve not already. This has been used previously on ops and still is occasionally. Not sure about sf in this configuration but bugger it, they wear what they want anyway. Also would the plate carriers look better in just the plain green rather than the dpm/woodland they have on there? I do actually like the checked shirt aswell (bit different), be interesting to see with dessy trousers. Sorry if i seem too critical here. I appreciate the task of making the gucci kit wearing yanks look like brits tho, your definatly making good progress. Saying that, its always nice to look as ally as possible (if you can get away with it). Edited November 12, 2009 by Shadow.D. ^BOB^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aeneas2020 10 Posted November 12, 2009 actually all those combos are already done mate. The issue is because i'm just overwriting another addons .paa files at the moment is i can't get all the combos in game at once (hence why i need help) that means if i want to try a combo i have to overwrite the exiting addon and put in game which takes a while. But i have pretty much every variant of desert top and bottom, temp top and bottom, TL green top, Tan top and check top. Also have both bush hats done and have body armour in green and temperate camo variants. The only thing i haven't done is a desert body armour variant. Let no one say i don't give people choice lol.

1in1class 0 Posted November 12, 2009 @Ascanius That cool if ya wont to stick to the vanilla side of it, did not know that you was just reskining. Most Spec Op of the UK wear head sets that would not fit well with the baseball caps thats why most do not wear them. Good luck with ya reskin units. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aeneas2020 10 Posted November 12, 2009 This is just the first stage i might do some model modifications after the 1st release right now i just want to get all the variations i have out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STALKERGB 6 Posted November 12, 2009 Hey mate, looking really good what you have done so far :) EDIT: Like the temperate DPM too, its always hard to get it looking good in ARMA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aeneas2020 10 Posted November 12, 2009 Thanks i took the pattern from my C95s here...then played about with them in game till they looked good. I was working on some camo patterns for a UE2.0 game one time and that took me forever because in the in game lighting was so variable. Anyway i should be pretty much done with all the variants etc by today and then i guess ill just try and figure out how to get them in game how i want them.

jtec 0 Posted November 12, 2009 Its good to see so many Brit stuff coming out for Arma 2, great job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aeneas2020 10 Posted November 12, 2009 Ok im calling this pretty much done. Variants include: Full Temperate DPM Full Desert DPM Mixed Tops and Trousers (i.e. Temperate DPM Jacket and Desert Trousers or vice versa). (All of the above come in either green body armour and pouches, temp dpm body armour or desert dpm body armour). Then we have Team leader variations on the shirt including the DPMs included above as well as shirts in black, tan, check and norgie green. Finally I have retextured the beanie, bandana and bush hat. I made an effort with all of these textures to give them a washed out field used feel. I am aware that arma2 applies a dirt overlay to textures in game but i dirtied them up also. This includes sweat patches on the Team leader shirts in desert conditions...you'll have to take my word for it because getting a pic of the guys under arm proved difficult and besides its just a dark patch lol. I would like some help configging these and get them into game so they only use the bush hat and beanie. Please let me know if you are willing to help. Credit of course would be shared :D Enjoy the pics: http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m140/Aeneas2020/day3g.jpg http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m140/Aeneas2020/day3f.jpg http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m140/Aeneas2020/day3e.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
