Coming unit and vehicle addon

[WKK Gimbal]

Soon from the forge of WKK Gimbal ... a United Nations peacekeeping force!

The aim is to make units that fits into the visual style of OFP and yet are unique.
The set will include soldiers with custom gear, as well as white jeeps and APCs.

A small preview, the HMMWV.
I swear, it looks better when driving it! http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

[Devil]

Pics don't work.

[WKK Gimbal]

now they should, thanks for info!

[solider]

hey man nice hummvee when can we download and how did you change the texture and do you know how to make new units or cars

[drewb99]

That is quite possibly the best looking Humvee I've ever seen http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif Great work!

[Havelock]

Beautiful Hummer .... I hope a UN helicopter is in the pack.

[dkraver]

Nice Picture. Are you making people with blue helmets and barrets aswell???
Heres are some ideas to the UN force
1. Make them civilians (but with uniforms if you can) with weapons so they are neutral to all three sides.
2. Make soldiers/squads with different weapons (ak, m16, g36, steuyer) to reflect them as a multi nationel force.
hope it gives some ideas http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[Unl33t]

Devil now has a much more skilled person to compete with.

Keep it up.

[CrunchyFrog]

nice...

Those are great ideas ... mixed weapons would be good. First I had thought of giving them all Steyrs.
Yes they will have blue helmets and a new camo suit.

They will be available as Resistance. While this may sound strange there are several reasons:

1: UN usually protects the weakest group/armed force.
2: You can specify in the editor if they should be hostile or friends with everyone!

Thanks for the positive comments, guys!

[dkraver]

Ok looking forward to it http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif reason why i pointet towards civilians was that you could make a 3 way conflict.

[dkraver]

Hi Again just got another great idea if its possible get a UN flag in the antennas of the vehicles

[WKK Gimbal]

That was indeed my intentions, but I have not yet figured out how to do this, and not have the flag pop onto the soldier when he leaves the vehicle. It's one of those "might be done" things. http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[solider]

hey man i was wonderin when your done with the un hummer can you make a 5t truck a nd the hummer made with are symbol on side i would like if you could thx goodbye

[WKK Gimbal]

The 5 tonner is a good candidate ... for transporting aids or troops!

I first drew the "UN" onto the side of the vehicle, until I realized it said "NU" on the other side http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
It's the same texture on both sides, that's why it was moved to the hood of the vehicle.

[PV]

cool. UN troops. I really need some bumbling helpless hostages for some of my missions

http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[NVA Killer]

UN will act as civilians right? i mean where they are nobodies enemy?

maybe a UN Mi-17(ive seen a UN one before)

[WKK Gimbal]

The idea is to make missions where you can play as a UN patrol or have to protect/observe towns, even with force (defensive). If they are added as civilians, they will be mere ambient life - not of much use. I and other WKK'er are discussing some mission setups that will make for some unique and interesting gameplay.

[MrLaggy]

Cool... combined with the black helicopter addon now we'll be able to do the militia vs UN invasion forces campaign 8-).

[Necromancer2k]

Should be useful for the M113....
how about KFOR for the next time?

[Miles]

id like a UN mi26 Halo, but it aint gonna happen with no sdk

[Ofp King]

well, thing is, it'll be hard to do with out an SDK unless he reskins the Aug

yeah, a KFOR campaign would kick ass(or bosnia)

[cnskin]

hey put them as resitance until we get the sdk

[FCATrooper]

"Protects". Thats good joke, but kinda cruel one. Make them flee area, when they see aremd forces - that wopuld be more realistic http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

[Ofp King]

sorry, i should have been more specific, i meant the people who replied to ur post, i wasnt saying u mentioned devil http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

and i cant wait to drive that hummvee,
was that screenshot taken in MP?
is that AI off in the distance on one of the screenshots?

well, just clearing things up

[WKK Gimbal]

The shots where just taken in SP.
The guy in the background is just part of my squad so I can use the command view to take snapshots http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

BTW, update due soon. It will be on www.OFP.co.uk

[Ofp King]

that website doesnt work,

are you planning on buying it soon?
coz when i go to it,
it says something about a company called nameshop and domain buying for 4000 pounds,

thats a lotta dough just for a domain,

[WKK Gimbal]

Sorry, the URL is <a href="http://www.ofp.jolt.co.uk/

Ł4000" target="_blank">http://www.ofp.jolt.co.uk/

Ł4000</a> for a website? I doubt I'd buy that! http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

[Cucuma]

Two words: Beautiful stuff.
Bravo to the WWK clan for a kick ass addon!

[StormCrow]

Cool...can you make them stick their noses into other sovereign countries business? And then can you make them flee in terror at the first sign of combat? Can you name their commander "Kofi" and make him braindead?....this would be a very realistic mod then!

[WKK Gimbal]

Well, I'm working on a small campaign that will be included in the addon. It will punch at some of the many bad rumours about the UN's efforts.
There has been countless cases where UN troops have helped saving lives of those who are completely ignored by the rest of the world community, even while struggling with the harsh restrictions they where under.

Just an example, Danish UN Leppard tanks responded directly to fire, while protecting a convoy in Bosnia and continued shelling the aggressors until they where out of ammo. What they where not allowed to do, was CHASE the aggressors after they fleed, i.e. become aggressors themselves.

The main problems that have forced UN troops to withdraw from safe zones, have been that the member countries have not supplied the troops required, and on time, nor paid their dept to UN for years (I'm not mentioning any countries here).

[StormCrow]

if you are talking about the US taxpayers not having their hard earned money given away to the useless UN then I say GOOD! What a waste of money and I don't want one cent of my tax dollars going to the UN

They will make great hostages in my missions. Thats what they become most of the time when the sh!t his the fan anyway (or until a real national military comes and bails them out)

[WTFonslaught]

Don't know if any of you have played much of Ghost Recon, but some of the better missions were ones where you had to reach UN troops and help them fend off aggressors..

Looking forward to this UN addon.. I hope there is a UN reskin on the BlackHawk http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Better UN Hinds:) Russian paras used Mi-24s in Sierra Lione and use several as a part of KFOR right now. Hinds don't even have to fire, looks alone will pacify anyone.

I got the hummer, jeep, jeep medic thingy, the bdrm, the bdrm medic, but where can i get UN soldiers and more vehicles?

Digging up old threads = bad.
