upcoming changes to Polish modern army pack

in pack there were reskins of BIS T72 and BRDM2 to Polish camo scheme
but Polish army uses also modernized version of those vehicles

on the screen there is upcoming PT91 tank, modernized T72M with new fire control system and electronics, erawa reactive armour, new stronger engine, this tank won competition with Serb T84 and Russian T90 and Malesian goverment choose this tank

BRDM M96 is Polish version of BRDM , it has no "extra wheels" , you can see doors, it has not 14.5 KPVT but 12.7 NSW (Polish variant of NSVT)

edit: normalmaps added to both vehicles

if someone have Vilas_POL and want update pack with modernized vehicles PT91 tank and M96 Jackal BRDM here you are, small update file (lets say beta):

[Eddie]

Vilas any way you could import some SAM units with your update packs

[vilas]

textures of woodland are temporary, it just shows soldiers models in BDU and PASGT vest, but I would like to show that is in cooperation with other addonmakers and with help of Them my new 1985 is in progress

new weapons models, normal maps will make quality of my addons much better

but new pack will contain new weapons pack, smaller, but with much biger quality which compressed sceens don't show

reworked Sa58, RPD, AK family, G3 (for FIA guerillas)

reworked and realistic models of PK and PKM (top screen)

now i have to do some config fixes, wounds and etc.

theses JPG are strongly compressed to have less than 100 kb, but I am showing this screens in hope to find missionmaker too


mega thanx to Synide for MLODS, Yaciek, Topas, Marcin, ShadowNX , Skaven for letting use and modify his weapons and etc.

[Hornet85]

realy good work!

[vilas]

we keep on working;







ShadowNX makes Soviets textures, Topas made FIA units, Yaciek and Marcin made M21, Skaven gave me (some moths before) right to use his M60 and other elements

now we must make missions

[Hornet85]

realy like this 1985 units but wher the Bianchi Holster used by US Army in 1985? (Just want it as corect as it can be)

[vilas]

I am not uniform specialist, i use suggestions from net sources, i know many things about weapons, but not about uniforms, if you have good source, PM me
also i try to do some parts "not so important" from BIS elements, because:
if i will stay on full realism, many addons - i will remain as in OFP - without single mission
in OFP i made a lot a lot of addons, i made almost every weapon, many soldiers

do you know that for OFP i made WW1 ? Chauchat machinegun, Lewis machinegun, i made some 1880-1900 rifles, i made infantry from 1914, i made DDR soldiers, i made Korean War addons , rare prototype weapons as kalashnikov prototypes, Mkb42, Kalasnikow submachinegun , DP-46, even Stoner s weapons-
i made island with big bunker and with big cave !!! probably the only addon of island with bunker so big that missions can be played inside, and very big underground cave !!! cave hidden in mountain (Barbaland / Dreamlad .pbo as i remember)
but who knows about it ? few people :/ and my islands were sometimes very good comparing to other (complete system in city as pavement, city structure as school, hospital, police, buisness-center, police-station, shoping center graveyard, park (like in real city, not just "20 houses in mess")

people know my poor vehicles pack, POlish community knows my POlish army addons (from 1939 , from 1960, from 1985, modern)
now people know my vechicles, my Alien movie addon, but who knows i made (before BIS) first "working" choppers using weapons agains land target
there was long time BUG which caused that Mi17, AH6 and other haven't use FFAR/Zuni rockets
i found solution, my choppers were bomberding land with unguided rockets before BIS fixed it

i made than biggest mistake, i made addons, but i had no time for mission

so now - soldiers we will try to do "as we can", but we must spent a big effort to make missions, otherwise addons will be not used at all

edit: progress :


G3A3 for FIA, G36C real shape for other addons

real M240B and FN MAG for guerillas or RACS

AK74, AKM, AK47 late model

addons are good when used with missions, so now i will try to make some small fixes, but i don't want to do addons "just to one look in editor"
addons are alive when they are played by people smile.gif

you can send me sugestions about uniform, but i don't promise to realise it :]

[GIJOE94]

Yes! Finaly a FN MAG and a G3. Good work mate!

[Linker Split]

I really love the AK's
Good work on those m8!

Good work on those m8!

I second that!

[Kalle Arsch]

Hey Vilas...I love your old Operation Flashpoint vehicles for Armed Assault...but I have one question...can you convert the old CH-53 addon and the C130 addon into Armed Assault???

[topas]

Hi!
Just in case you did not see these on BIforums; the pack will as well contain an additional army; namely the Polish Army from mid 80's

[vilas]

WW2 pack will updated too, because "just reskins" were not satysfying me from begining

now, when i can do custom models, i made "QUICK FIX" to WW2

it is not full NEW version, because FULL NEW requires: normalmapping on weapons, shadows for weapons, completly made new gear, collars, other details

remember this is just "quick fix" version, to replace old reskinned models !!!

new version has 1 WEAPONS CONFIG
there is no 4 useless version, i made trick in which playability is better

many of use were disappointed with super-skills of BIS soldiers, who shoot you by 2 shots from 400 meters

decreasing range, accuracy was giving nothing, decreasing accuracy only affected player ability to shoot far

now i made different accuracy when fires PLAYER and different when fires AI - to eliminate a little effect of "god skilled" AI in this game

SS in OAK camo deleted (for the moment, only SS in dots)

so remember this is "beta" of upcoming !

WW2 pack quick fix beta, 55 MB, 06-12-2007 version

[xEnigmax]

Very Nice,
I've only played a short while with them but have found 1 bug.
the optics of the springfield are off. the round goes about an inch above the crosshair mark.
if i find anything else i'll report it here

[tisse]

is the nade mp bug fixed?

[bdfy]

WW2 pack will updated too, because "just reskins" were not satysfying me from begining

And what is this ? reskins with some eqiupment added ? i can't say standart body suits ww2 field uniform... i guess it can be ok only with some baggy camo (like standart ones). Anyway first ofp ww2 reskins were crappy too - so that's a great start.
though i can be too critical - i can't see it ingame, pack is too huge. Can you upload man models or just release it with several smaller packages ? i don't want to have wholesale ))

As the name of the pack speaks for itself; it's a quickfix.. It's not a complete HQ addon pack - yet Detailed uniforms are being worked on; as well as the models are being refined to be as close to originals as possible. As a proof a sample of the german texture I am currently working on So stay tuned; this won't be 'crappy' - be assured

[Marxist]

Hmm the polish PMK hadn´t got a version with a full buttstock? I always see underfolders...

[vilas]

bdfy - i am not making addons for you, i am making for my pleasure, hobby and for people who like it

you are from Liberation mod, isn't it ?
many Russians - don't know why foetus to me cause I am Pole, i know russian language as english language, I read sometimes "flashpoint.ru"
I remember hacking my account, administrators of Arma.net remeber it too, I remember callig Poles on your forum as "shit faces" and etc.
I remember situation in which - one russian addonmaker gives me permission to use his textures by PM on BIS forum , and 3 months later on flashpoint.ru he says I stole textures... as I know, he stole some models and textures from other addonmakers , but let's not back to history
cause I can give full list how some of them called McNools desert reskins, how other called other addons , philosophy like "shitty because not made in Russia" is not good philosophy;
I also remember one PM from one administrator of other forum (I will not say public who said that), which was ask by some russians to delete my addons topic because it was competition to their addons and w.i.p. !
comments like "another Polish shit" in russian language I read sometimes and I remember it good ! like saying that Poles are "shit faced"
I really know russian language, believe me I read flashpoint.ru from time to time,
"DarkenLord" was even threatening me that my accounts will be hacked anywhere, that by making addons I started a war againt all and etc. letters like "stop making addons or we will crash you" - I really have enough of your sick philosophy
I remember how i made my models and how he and other russians were accousing, that models are not mine !!! ("poddielki, poshol w zadinu, osobno hreniovyi" da ia znaiu russkiy yazik drug)

after I made Russian/Soviet addon I read comments like "he stole idea for our addon" "you can see he stole texture"
but when you put "flora camo" to pictures search in google - the same result appears on whole world !

but your neighbours seems to forget about it - my KLMK, Flora, Tiger camo in vilas_rus were not made from ORCS !!!

thats why i commented you like I did - sorry but i had to say that after "crappy too"


but away from behaviour of your neighbours - pack is huge ? depends of speed of internet connection
I will try to make all by 7ZIP, I will not separate models only, because they are made to use my weapons (which will be updated as models too)

Marxist:

Polish AK family was : PMK - AK47 with darker wood, PMKS - AKS47 darker wood, some PMKM - AKM with darker wood, but some Polish AKM were with chromium painted closer/rod/loc like in AK 47 or Zastava M70 (if it is good word in english, technical language is not my favourite )

but mostly Polish army used and still uses AKMS
AKM was used only in some percentage

I saw AKM only on parades (with chromium closer/rod/lock), on some old pictures from 1970-1980, mostly I never saw Polish soldier with AKM in my life, thought I was 5 years in paramilitary scouts and I was visiting some bases, only AKMS nd now some Beryls

also :

some 1985 work in progress pics:






Zastava for FIA, also DDR MPi KMS (72 with wood ) is made for FIA but not on screen here

[Cervo]

Nice work Vilas, will post it!

Please guys history is history, and this is not the place for flame wars!
