Australian Defence Force (ADF) MOD Options

I think this could be taken up over PM rather than derailing the topic which I have a bad feeling is going to happen.

[RicoADF]

just wondering if you are going to incorporate f88 attachments like GLA and the combine version

There should be a carbine version unless I disabled it for some technical reason, I need to have alook again (due to TAFE I havent touched it in months, but now holidays have started I'm back on the job )

are their any chances in getting F-111 as well and SAS units.

They are both planned and will be done as soon as the current bugs are fixed

thx for the mod

Do the "few little surprises" include as many bugs as the last release?

(Before some anal retentive individual says something, this is an inside joke not an attempt to flame.)

It's still a rather pointless post Don't bother one like it again. If it is an inside joke use the PM system or an external messenger to communicate not the forum thread...

[Stavrogin1980]

It is probably a stupid comment, but... well, these new ADF units will make happy not only the fans of the Australian Army, but also those who like RACS Thank you very much for your hard work!

Were you able to do anything with the interior of the ASLAV?..
& a few more pics of the LAV would be appreciate, no doubt

[RicoADF]

I'll see what I can do about pics, but we really need another texturer, so anyone that can help please contact us, its the thing slowing us down.

[Stavrogin1980]

When I say "interior", I mean "cargo or passanger area" Not the gunner \ driver station - in ArmA it is not a must-have.
Good luck!

Hey all,
I was able to acquire these models from a mate who is working on an Aussie BF2 mod. Will these be able to be used in ArmA?

Reason for edit: Images over 150kb

[JdB]

Nebula, as this is the second time I have had to warn you about the size of the images you post in less than two days, this means a 24hr post restriction. Please make sure the pictures that you post are under 150kb at all times

The soldiers might pose a problem, just as in OFP a different soldiermodel means making new (or at the very least heavily edited) animations IIRC. The vehicles should be semi-easy to use. They all look great.

I should also add that having two accounts here is not allowed. I see you also have an account named "Antipop", but as you're using the "Nebula" one currently, I'll ban the "Antipop" one. Please don't make other accounts without informing us first (we can change your name without having to re-register). I see the old one had a WB, I certainly hope you didn't register a new account to get rid of that

Where did you hear this? Or are you part of the international consortium that seems to be against ArmA having new player models that aren't edits of the original?
(I swear it must exist! There must be some malign force stopping new models from being put ingame!)


There's no reason all of those models can't be used.

It'd be necessary to set the model up like ArmA's infantry models, so you'd want to replace the head and hands with ones copied from one of the default models. (Largely so they fit in with the rest of the soldiers, but it'd also save a lot of time with selections too, as most of them are on the hands and face). Once this is done it's a simple matter of applying the default soldier's model.cfg to them.

That "simple matter" is how you can make the "aliens" (completely distorted player models)

Yes, but only if you manage to set up the selections hideously wrong... in most cases the results will still be good.

I don't see why you're acting as if this is impossible, it isn't. It's a relatively easy process.

Selections only tell the game where every part of the soldier model is located, so that the animations can work with it. Remember that any new soldier models is bound to be different from the default ArmA one, whose animations you would be using. If the soldier model doesn't match the size of the animations being applied to it, you will end up with an alien, just like it was in OFP. Selections are not the solution, they are only a part of the process.

That's why I'm acting as if what you're saying is impossible without further editing, because it is. I'll ask around with people who have plenty of experience with soldier models.

Simply not the case, unless you're talking about something which is so different it'd demand new animations (Animals for example). Look at Ryan_D's alien addon, the animations work perfectly fine even though the proportions on the troops are completely... well... Alien!

Besides, the skeleton would just result in the model being discreetly stretched to fit the same proportions. While this might cause a handful of near invisible bugs, it'd work perfectly fine.

What do you mean when you say "just like it was in OFP"? There were addon converted from other games in OFP and they worked fine, there were completely new models created for OFP (it's not like addons such as HYK's US infantry had any components from the original troops other than the hands and head) this is basically exactly the same with the addition of the model.cfg file.

Final case in point, SLX's people addon.

[RicoADF]

If you can get the models in 3DS format then they are convertable, otherwise its a no go

Here are a few pics for everyone to enjoy









There are more images at our new site tho i havent posted them due to the size limit (their 400-500kb)
