Hi all,

I’ve updated my Italian Special Operation Forces to version 1.10.

After updating my US Army Special Forces and US Army Rangers packs is the time to update my Italian SOF too.
In this update, as for previous packs, I’ve totally redone the multicam texture, in order to get them closer to RL pattern, and make them blending better in the different environments.
The Units will be found in the editor under BLUFOR >> Italian SOF,(same for the groups), sorted by the different camouflage of the uniforms and gear:



As always please report feedback, advices, problems or any ideas… I’ll be happy to keep working and improving the pack…thanks to all of you for the support and appreciation you gave me!

Changelog v.1.10:



Installation.

Put the addons in the "mod folder" of your preference, you will find the units in the editor under:
Bluefor – Italian SOF (sorted by different camos and gear)
you'll find groups also under:
Bluefor - Italian SOF (as above).

ACE2 files Installation.

- file: "mas_ita_spec_ACE2_cfg_repl.pbo"
You can use the OPTIONAL ACE2 CONFIG that you'll find in the "ACE2 config" folder that replace IT SF weapons with the ACEX ones, and add some of the great ACE2 stuff (like gasmask, balaclavas, ecc...), this way my IT SF classes will be automatically replaced.

- file: "mas_ita_spec_ACE2_new_cfg.pbo"
If you have problems using the previous file, look inside "ACE2 congif >>> backup ACE config (new classes) " : there you'll find another replacement file that instead of overwriting my IT SF classes, create new ones ( BLUFOR>>> Italian SOF ACE) using ACEX weapons and equipment (same as above).

IF YOU WANNA USE THOSE FILES ACEX IS REQUIRED.
both files are SIGNED, choose the best solution for you, BUT REMEMBER TO USE ONLY ONE AT A TIME!!!

Replacement files Installation.

In the folder "replacement files" you'll find 3 different replacement, one replace only the force recon units with the Italian ones, the other 2 replacement replace all the USMC units with Italian models, you can choose to use the Woodland (vegetata) or the Desert one.

AS SAID ABOVE USE ONLY ONE AT A TIME !!!

Bugs.
Tested both in vanilla game and in ACE2, everithing is working well, without any errors in RPT or sort of problems.

Thanks.

Thanks to BI for the great game and to all the community for their great support and addons!
Thanks to all the people that enjoied the units and supported me in all the different forums!

New Upcoming version Update


Hi all,

I've some good news for the upcoming update of my Italian SOF units.

First of all I've solved a really annoying bug afflicting the units, that seems nobody noticed.

I found It a few ours ago...but I've already found the solution and fixed it!

It was in every units, but more visible in the WINTER ones... look at the pics:

[aimg]http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/3828/errore2.th.jpg[/aimg]

The units were effectivly WHITHE in the first LODS, but increasing distances and decreasing LODs the became GREEN :

[aimg]http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/6629/errore1.th.jpg[/aimg]

...pretty much self explaining .

I forgot to retexture the Low Res textures...so that's it...BUG SOLVED !!!

you can see:

[aimg]http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/5594/risolto2.th.jpg[/aimg]

It was really annoying, expecially playing with greenish units (supposed to be withe ) in snow covered environment.

I'll release an updated version soon.

Thanks to everybody supporting me.

cheers
massi

...seems also I finally got a way to post pics here

Looking forward for the new release

Hello ,

I'm releasing the version 1.05 of my Italian SOF.

I worked a lot on the texture trying to improve them, in this version I've also fixed an annoying bug that made units changing color at long distances.

The units now come in updated textures uniforms, and keep the right camouflage also on long distances, so the gameplay is balanced again (think on using winter units supposed to be withe , that turn green on snow at long distances...not so realistic).
But now everything is fixed and working good at every distance.

I worked specially on vegetata temperate, vegetata desert, multicam and navy SF woodland camo this time, because they were really bad texturate, I hope they look better now.

As always I'm waiting for any comments, critics, problems and advices...
I really hope you'll like and enjoy them !



this is the cahangelog for version 1.05 :



Off course the Signature has been updated too.

Hi all,

I’ve updated my Italian SOF units to version 1.06.
In this update I’ve worked a lot on the texture, trying to improve them and getting closer to real life ones, and I’ve spent some time on the config in order to improve the units loadout for better gameplay, keeping an eye on the realism of course!
You’ll find also a lot of different groups, ready to be placed in the editor, every group has is own loadout and is balanced to offer the best gameplay\realism .
As in previous version you’ll find in the pack:

- SOF Ranger(Vegetata): for temperate environment.
- SOF Ranger(Desert): for desert environment.
- SF(Multiland): for both desert and temperate environments.
- SF Light Recon(Multiland\Multicam): same as SF but in lightweight gear.
- SF/SOF(Winter): for snow covered environment.
- GIS: MP Special Forces in CQB black suite.
- GOI(Wood/Multicam): Navy Special Forces in woodland and multicam camo.

I really hope you’ll enjoy those units !!!
As always I’m waiting for any advice, problem, idea that can improve the work.

This is the changelog for the version 1.06:


Installation:

Just put the PBO and the SIGN FILE in the modfolder of your preference, you will find UNITS and GROUPS in the editor under BLUFOR>>Italian SOF

Hi all,

I’ve updated my Italian Special Operation Forces to version 1.07.

In this new version I’ve tried to improve the “multilandâ€� texture, in order to fit better all the different environment, as they do in real life, I’ve also added new Italian flag patches on some units.

You’ll se a new class too… NOCS : Italian Police hostage rescue team, deployed in high risk operation and stuff like that. They wear “nomexâ€� blue suit, and balaclava off course.
I’ve changed also GIS , MP Special Forces, gear in order to fit better his range of operations, adding the G36Cs too.

I’ve tried to improve further the groups balance in the editor, specially for the light gear special forces recon units, which come with slightly better textures now, because I left untouched the grouping in the last version…now fixed!

Now you’ll find the following classes in the editor:

Downloading as we speak, testing... when I have the time.

Has the bug with glasses and such been fixed? My sunglasses were a bit off on the Recon units atleast in .05 or .06... Also, any chance of seeing the recce units in Vegetato? I sorta like the camo and would prefer it instead of Multicam/-land. Anyways, keep up the good work!

Hi all,

I’ve updated my Italian Special Operation Forces to version 1.082.

After some testing and thanks to Rubber’s reports I’ve fixed some issue with those units, like “multicamâ€� and “vegetataâ€� textures, added a new replacement for desert environment and an ACE2 config that overrides some of standard Italian SOF gear with ACEX weapons , and crews now wear standard uniform as in RL too.
REMEMBER TO USE ONLY ONE REPLACEMENT FILE AT A TIME, you’ll find all the info in the readme, now you’ll have 4 optional files:

I’m sorry to make you downloading several times this pack, I’m just trying to improve it step by step, but now I’m pretty happy about the result!

And this is just a small Extra for all the Italian SOF users…





They’re 4 models ingame, one standard and one with Medical abilities for both the 2 camos.

They require Italian SOF v.1.082 (look just above for them), and once installed you’ll find them in the editor under:

Bluefor - Italian SOF - Italian Army aviation

So now our Italian Spec Ops don’t need to go always around on foot !!!
