UK Desert troops

[simoneldridge]

Now i got the sniper with an L96
And most of the other guys with the SA80 susat

But when i put the LSW it came up with an error
any ideas??  spose ud have to look to see  

I was thinkin of sticking a law on one of the guys...
which leads me on to my next question...

Is it possible to edit the config so that you can put extra soldier classes eg Law, MG  etc
i tried it but just got errors

obviously coz im a stinkin noob he he ;D

@Kabal SA80 suggestion,.,,

Please dont bother using these,, yep they look ok,,, so i tried them out,, sadly kabal has got his scaling all wrong and on your Desert UK they are simply about 5inches to small....  The holding anim has the marine holding the rifle at almost very end of gun,, in a mad moment of melting fingers to barrel,, ouch,.,,,

[simoneldridge]

Yes i did notice that

but it is only beta stages so by the time Blackblood is ready for a full releaseim sure he will have a perfectly scaled and looking SA80

The only reason why i put them on there was to have some fun with the brit troops
and to me they didnt look brit enough with an m16/203
just personel preferance thats all. ;D

Cant wait for the full Release

[FormatC]

Yep,, Im looking forward to them to,,, wasnt meaning to be mean about kabal suggestion, just came out type wise that way.  
Perhaps some mix and match camo be nice to,, like our boys (brit) underfunded as it is,,, going into combat with des 'camo combats and norm dpm top..  Also final config on law would be great.  Other than that these are looking good...
I tried these out with using malvinas chopper pack and dropped off our lads in a desert in a seaking lol... looked cool... until i 4got no law in pack,, and a bmp ripped my platoon

Very nice work so far mate.  It's a real shame that Kabal's SA-80 is mis-scaled as otherwise these would be pretty damned good.  make's a decent enough stop gap though.  I'm planning on using UKF's once it's released.

I'm chuffed I personally managed to edit the config, as I've never done anything like that before.  The challenge for tomorrow is trying to create a new class to use the LSW.

The one major gripe I have so far is the size of the model's arms, they seem a bit... beefy.  Is this what you mean by "The broken wrist thingy"?  On second glance the model as a whole loooks 'beefy', but this may just be my eyes playing up when I'm tired.  The arm's however, I am certain on.

Secondly, occasionally, the para wings and the RM badges stick out from the bloke's arm.  

Otherwise, excellent work so far.  Have a pint on me!

@ Mr. Crow
Yes, the arms are a bit too beefy. I've rescaled them a bit since 0.5 along with other tweaks.
About the overall beefy look: Well, actually I think most models incl. BIS defaults look like they're suffering from a bad case of anorexia. Even the skinniest guy will look beefy with a flak jacket and assault vest...
The 'broken-wrist-thing' is the free-floating hands...


Some changes this far (unreleased BETA 0.6):

0.51  - Removed 'osobnost' as part of 'SUNTAN'-selection to avoid funky facetextures.
0.52  - Made ALL units tanned by default (no scripting).
0.53  - Removed vehicleclass 'BLB - UK Init Handler' (see above).
0.54  - Tweaked: Better LOD on the boonie-version.
0.55  - Added groups in the editor (Royal Marines 8 men, Parachute Rgt. 8 men, Mech. Para group)
0.56 - Lightened up tan on arms (It was too dark-brown).
0.57 - Added a LAW-carrying bloke in all classes.
0.58-0.60  - Some minor tweaks on all models...

The release of ODOL Explorer 2.0 makes it possible for anyone to fiddle and tweak other peeps sweaty works so there's no actual need for me to try and beat the clock. I'm seriously thinking of donating the models as is to Project UK Forces (if they want it) or any other mod. Stay tuned...

Hey,
Just want to say, the addons are good
I've been making a misison with them already (Don't really plan on releasing them, just for me to play/some friends)

I downloaded the version of www.ofp.info a few days ago
I don't think it's the updated version.. I'm downloading now

I would offer to make a SA80 for them.. But my O2/buldozer isn't working very well atm (Crashes a lot, like the rest of this computer atm.. Getting Win 2k very soon, so I'll wait until I get that to restart)

You should ask someone who's made a SA80 already if you can include it in the pack?

If you send me the config on my e-mail, I'll have a look at it for you and see if I can give you hand with adding those soldiers you want to include

[simoneldridge]

Yeah i think i will

but i will have to do it tommorow as i am workin today and tonight

Hard life eh ;D

If only i could spend all day on ofp

[Soul Catcher]

I've already re-configged them to use decent equipment and added many other unit classes for my own use. I can do it if you want, just let me know what loadouts you want and i'll sort it out, should only take a few minutes.

[Lt_Phoenix]

@ Wedge:
I''l include a word document version too, so that you can see for yourself what has been added, and learn from it.  That way you can learn a bit about config editing at the same time, and do it yourself in future
I'll use coloured text in the word-document version. Blue for added stuff and Red for changed stuff.

Gday all...

I very much enjoy these units.. (as screenies of our isle suggests)

I wonder if its possible to add to the originality of units by changing size of them eg small sniper 5ftish large Mgunner 6ft+ etc.. give them beef whereever required and 'anorexia'  
Small characteristics like that a great.. as are wounded soldier models
Other than small things this looks likes its coming along really well

Have a middie or schooner on me  (or Bundy Rum for non aussies)

MadAussie out...

[Homefry31464]

Unforunetly, that would require new animations.  If someone makes some though, it'd be really awesome.

[MadAussie]

Gday guys...

Things are quiet.. which is normally a good sign eh??

BlackBlood.. can you PM me asap??

Another thought.. like the usmc units.. if you could add a blackout feature to wounded soldiers.. that would be excellent
Also.. minor thing.. but no NV goggles!

MadAussie out...

I'm currently doing an update of my mission 'Paratroopers' (imaginitive name I know... )

Anyway, I used the SEB Paras in that one - which was released two years ago - but in this one, I'm gonna use yours.

I've kitted them out with BAS weapons (personal preference).

I'm really impressed with the quality of the units.
However I'd like you to consider two things.

1.. No NV Goggs
2.. No Medic (in helmet instead of beret)
