UK Special Forces V1.1

Another day another addon...

These units are generics (see my WIP thread for long explanation) designed to represent any British special forces units. They are reskins of the stock BI models and I do not intend to change the models at this time. Anyway enjoy them and as usual if you take any cool pics feel free to post them up in here always keen to see what other people do with my work.

They come in 3 varieties: Desert, Mixed and Temperate. On top of this the body armour can also come in temperate or desert variants and in the mixed units there some guys will use desert bush hats and others green ones. anyway enjoy...

Nice work bud. Nice work

Thanks, getting em now, i like the look of these, cheers mate.

Very nice texture work! Would be great to see you working on some custom models, hope you get a collab going.

Awesome pics! Thanks so much...I just had a year break from working on large group projects and i have to say it's nice to be back in the game but i think i'll stick to smaller projects for now. Certainly though a new player model or vehicle here or there would be most welcome. The only thing is i'm never doing UV mapping ever again I hate it!!!! But i'd love to work with maybe stalker or the PUKF boys doing some new textures...simple reskins can get a little boring. Thanks again for the pics.

These look awesome, Aeneas! :D On a side note, do you only do infantry or would you consider other things as well?

Check your PMs mate! Great work by the way!

I can do whatever...i prefer clothing but i've done plenty of tanks and weapons in my time also.

Did our first 4-man SAS coop tonight, and the reskins were really popular! I'll be churning out a ton of those SAS missions now ^^

great thanks ink...ive just been looking at them in game and they are fine but i think i can probs change the normal maps and tweak the texture to make them look even better so probs a v1.1 coming up sometime soon.

p.s. post some screenies if you would :) sorry im a screenie whore or pm me them if you get a chance id really appreciate it

Just played around with your addons and i think they look quite good man.

awesome pic thanks :)...i really have to stop replying to my own thread so much :(

I cant get it to work. I've created a mod file called @UKSF and then put all the PBO files into an Addons file inside the @UKSF file. I'm using an Arma 2 launcher (version 1.50) and I have only started using mods. I'm not playing this online only single player.

I start the game and load the single mission Village Sweep and no Uk special forces only US marines.

Can you give us and idea of where I'm going wrong?

It's not a replacement pack for the US marines...its configged as an entirely new unit. You'll have to go into the editor and place a unit on the blufor side mate. So unless you want to create a new mission with them (or if someone has created a user mission with them) then thats the only way to use them in sp.

Cheers, thanks for that. Does that go for all of the skin mods? I have made three mod files with new skins that I have downloaded from Armaholic like yours and I can't get them to come through in single player; Mission and single mission. The Royal Marines one isn't working. Is that for use in the editor?

Most of the unit addons do not have replacement configs. Some do though, and they tend to be separate from the unit files themselves. So for the majority of unit addons they'll either have to be modded into existing missions, or new missions with the units will have to be done.

Cheers for that. I've downloaded quite a few addons; I'll have to go through all of them to see what can change the appearance skin wise in mission and single player.

You wouldn't have an addon that changes the appearance without using the editor you could let me know of?

Note that reskins in ArmA2 aren't just a new texture for a model. They are entirely new models. Quite different most other games in that regard.
