US Desert Vehicles (WIP)

[Marc15yo]

hey guys, i've been working on reskinning the Armed Assault 2 Vehicles into Desert Tan so that whenever someone releases a desert themed map they'll have units to go with it.

I have to also note that the M1A1 Textures do not belong to me. They are from here :

http://www.armedassault.info/ftp/pics/addons/title_desert_vehicles1.1.jpg

So the Credit Goes to them. Of Course i can't release until i get the official permission so if someone could help me contact these guys it would be great. if i get their permissions i will release


Currently Finished USMC Vehicles:

M1A1
M1A2 Tusk (basically the same Textures as M1A1 except for Tusk Kit)
AAVP7A1 (needs a small tweak)
LAV-25
M270
LAV HQ
All Humvee Varients


Coming up:

MVTR or w.e that vehicle's name was..


What I need to Complete the Addon:

I am an absolute noob when it comes to scripting and coding (or maybe i'm just to lazy to try and find out how). So if anyone out there that can make my addons standalone without the need of using that annoying texture reskin script in the unit init parameters, please help me out.




Also Please Tell me what you think here are Some pics:

[p75]

Nice work!!!

[Alpha9]

you will never release

Edit"

Sorry about it, i just thought that if u get no permission then we wont see them, and i wont them so bad :)

[Marc15yo]

umm, why is that?

[Lightninguk]

you will never release

they always somebody that like to say stuff like that with out saying a reason

[kju]

If you did serious effort trying to get permission and get no response in a reasonable time
frame (2-4 weeks), according to the BI (forum) rules, you still may publish the work.

Of course stating the actual source clearly.

[Marc15yo]

Ok sounds good. :)

I'll see if i can get Mcnools email. or does anyone know where i can get it?




OK Update LAV-25 is now complete and i'm adding it to main post

I'm also adding more pictures.

[Mark XIII]

Wouldn't his contact info be in the readme file for his last release :)

[Defunkt]

I can help with the config work for you, in fact I have already done much of it...

http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg80/ANZINS/desert2.jpg

The vehicle textures pictured are from Mateck & T_Bone's M1A1 (http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=3141), both Blondak (http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=3923) & McNool's HMMVW's and the Marines are BIS' own textures (but not part of the MLOD release). You're welcome to include any of this in your release if you can get the permissions.

[Marc15yo]

Ok guys, i sent a message to mcnool's and i'm now awaiting a response, and yup his contact info was in one of his readme files. thanks


to Defunkt:

THANK YOU!, this is gonna be really helpful. it's just what i needed. :cool:
ok we need to share files together.

You've made seperate units for the lav-25's and m270 too? what about the armored humvee with m240? make sure they all have desert varients too.



update:

Alright guys i also have an update, i just finished the m270. i'm currently adding it to the main post so gimme some time to upload the pics.

[Defunkt]

Well if you PM me a link to the textures you've done I'll config & pbo it for you to trial. Vehicles-wise just the M1A1 and various HMMVW's applied by me but it might simplify permissions if you were to stick with your own versions ex-McNool. Pretty sure the BIS Marines were a late patch (after the MLOD release) and AFAIK there's no standing permission to distribute but hopefully BIS would agree if asked.

[Marc15yo]

Alright i just let me just finish the rest of the vehicles i'll upload and pm you with the link.

About the marines:
Ok well if bi says no i remember an addon called "johnny's marines" or something like that, we may be able to use his textures if we can get his permision.




Huge Update:
- All Humvee varients completed
- LAV HQ completed

all that's left are the marines and the MVTR or MTVR or w.e :yay:

Note: The Humvee Textures were originally from McNools, i modified them but credit goes to mcnools for the original textures


Currently Finished USMC Vehicles:

M1A1

[Macadam Cow]

Looks very promising, keep up the good work :bounce3:

[Rogue_Trooper]

A quick question are you planning on doing any Russian Vehicles:pistols: would be ever so impressed if you did:yay:

[LT. Razgriz]

Awesome awesome work. Can't wait for this and Avgani/Afghan or in all honesty any good map set in Iraq.

[Binkowski]

Awesome awesome work. Can't wait for this and Avgani/Afghan or in all honesty any good map set in Iraq.

There be a lot of that going around....Iraq fetish! To be honest, I prefer woodland, but maybe I'm just weird? Sure.

[LT. Razgriz]

Yes, but we already have that! Good to have a variety.

[MarineSeaknight]

What island/map is that you are picturing your vehicles in? It looks nice.

(And so do the re-skins dude, awesome job!)

[Marc15yo]

Thanks for the support guys,

to Rogue Trooper:
I've never thought of that, if this addon goes successful i'll see what i can whip up for the Russians


to MarineSeaKnight:
thanks, yeah i've been using Avgani, Afghan Village, and Razani maps using caa1. i've actually got a lot of maps. Almost every map works but with a few missing buildings, and objects. opx's maps work almost perfectly since they provide most of their content.


What do you guys know about russian vehicle camos?. if i'm gonna be doing the russian vehicle camos i'm gonna need some resources. to me, to be honest, the arma2 russian vehicles seem to be perfect for desert terrain already. well if people really want to i'll try and create a seperate addon for the russians when i'm finished with this one

[Macadam Cow]

This one is Avgani

And I think those are from Razani

EDIT : I'm getting old ^^

[Ka-Oz]

looking very nice !!

just a little remark, the lavHq looks a little bit to clean/new compared to other units but hey its the high command vehicle they got plenty of soldier to clean it during whole day :D

[=Spetsnaz=]

will there be desert reskins for OPFOR?

[Alex72]

will there be desert reskins for OPFOR?

Yes please. :)

Great retex work. btw.

[bravo 6]

I hope you get the corrects permissions.

[Alpha9]

umm, why is that?

sorry but thought u cant release with out permission, and you may not get in contact with any of the guys, so i was pissed that we might not see those stuff ur making lol

[Marc15yo]

don't worry i'll find a way to contact them. i already sent an email to mcnools, although he hasn't replied yet i'm pretty sure i can find him somewhere.

if all else fails permissions wise i can just reskin the humvees and the abrams using the same technique i did for the other vehicles. and then it would be all set, i wouldn't need for permissions then since all the other vehicles were done by me.

[Rogue_Trooper]

What do you guys know about russian vehicle camos?. if i'm gonna be doing the russian vehicle camos i'm gonna need some resources. to me, to be honest, the arma2 russian vehicles seem to be perfect for desert terrain already. well if people really want to i'll try and create a seperate addon for the russians when i'm finished with this one

Well gimme a shout via pm etc and i will try and help you out as much as possible.:D

[TheHandsy]

This looks good, can't wait to use them. Think you'll be able to make some Talibanies if this all goes successful? xD

[Marc15yo]

well i haven't learned the skillz of modeling in arma. even back in operation flashpoint i couldn't use oxygen. it was too confusing for me. but this year since i got arma2 i'm ready to start fresh, i'm gonna start doing a lot of things around here.

[Abs]

I think that as long as every effort is made to contact the guy, and you don't hear back from him within a month or two, it should be okay to release them.

Abs

[LT. Razgriz]

What's the status on these babys? With the announcement of Operation Arrowhead these just became all the more useful.

[Marc15yo]

Hi everybody. it's been a while. Well as you have noticed i haven't gotten a single reply from mcnools and it's been waay to long. Now somebody said that if i wait enough and i don't get a response, it should be ok to release just as long as i credit. well i decided not to do that, and instead to just re-do the abrams, and humvees by myself same way i did all the other vehicles. Since none of the new textures belong to mcnools or any one else i'm going to release the addon very soon once i finish re-doing the humvees i'll send my files over to Rico and he'll take care of the configs.

To start off i Re-did the Desert tan textures for all the armored vehicles. The humve textures will be updated next. Something was not quite right with the tan, i thought it was too dark. I looked closely at more real life pics, and even at the operation arrowhead screenies and tried to replicate the tan color. I also gave the vehicles a few extra touches.

And now for the biggest part of the update. Introducing Olive Drab/green vehicles. Not neccessarily a popular thing on us vehicles, but i thought it looked sick. And i just felt like it would be a great addition to Armed assault 2. hehe

Hope you guys like em as much as i do. please comment, leave some suggestions....

[Pauliesss]

Of course we like em, cant wait for release, good work. :)

[Lennard]

I like them, though you should dirty'em up some more.
And those extra details look great. Keep it up:)

[LT. Razgriz]

Yeah after you do the clean textures you might just put some scratches and dirt on 'em a bit. Looking absolutely great though.

[1in1class]

Nice skins. Where the Humvees at? Have not seen any pic of the Humvees, plz say that your doing them also:butbut:

[Merlin]

would it be possible to add random numbering/letters to most of the vehicles? maybe add random chevrons on the vehicles?

[bravo 6]

I for one very like the desert cammo ones. They look very sexy :)

[Manzilla]

I think that as long as every effort is made to contact the guy, and you don't hear back from him within a month or two, it should be okay to release them.

Abs

Also contact Placebo. He can help with the contact stuff. Indeed though. It's obvious you are making the attempt and have clearly acknowledged the original authors work. It's nice to see this even for something as simple as some reskinned textures. It's good having more people around like this. Congrats and thanks.

[Lennard]

Maybe markings like this Abrams has would be cool:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/61/M1-A1_Abrams_1.jpg

just for some inspiration.. :)

[SuperRat]

olive skin very nice old but nice would like to have humve's

[Steakslim]

Maybe markings like this Abrams has would be cool:

Adding wear and tear always looks nice. :)

[Marc15yo]

Wow thanks a lot for the comments guys. Sorry couldn't reply early enough, i was away helping my sis move into her new college.


would it be possible to add random numbering/letters to most of the vehicles? maybe add random chevrons on the vehicles?

Wouldn't that require me to edit the models though? I'm not sure i'll learn modeling in o2 just yet. i've got to experiment with it.





Nice skins. Where the Humvees at? Have not seen any pic of the Humvees, plz say that your doing them also


If you are talking about the updated humvees in Tan and Olive i'm working on them as we speak. but if you are talking about the old humvees.

You can see them on this page:

Yeah i guess you guys are right. making them a little dirtier and beat up wouldn't hurt to much. That pic is really gonna come in useful thanks :)



And for everyone else, thanks for the support. It's always good to hear what the community has to say :cool:

[Fudgeblood]

Mod's looking fantastic, can't wait to download them!

[M@ster]

Nice work wait for release ;)

[Marc15yo]

Hey everyone i'm back sorry for the long disappearance. problems with my internet provider lol.


So yeah I am now complete and really happy with the textures and how they look right now. It's not perfect but it's sexy enough for a release

I am now in the process of sending the files to RicoADF so he can take care of the configs and such.


Here are the Humvees as promised. the desert tan has been changed and i have finished the olive textures as well. on my side everything is a go. i'll admit i've been very lazy so the mtvr's will come in the next version after this release. and then i'll alsodo some more editing to the rest of them as well in later versions. i've finally got hold of mcnools and am awaiting a new reply again. it's another change of plans but i'm keeping my fingers crossed.

[Due-_-]

Any progress news marc? caint wait for some desert vehicles in arma 2 :)

[Blueteamguy]

I assume the beta will be released within the nxt 1-3 or so posts, can't wait

[Steakslim]

These combined with those Uparmored vehicle mods should be fun to see. I can't wait for both.

[Chrisgs]

Looking forward to these, will find good use for them, thankyou.

[Marc15yo]

thanks guys for all the positive feedback. yeah the textures are 100% complete (except for the mtvr). I sent the files to RicoADF so he can get working on the coding part.


I assume the beta will be released within the nxt 1-3 or so posts, can't wait

the addon should be released within a week. next weekend maybe.




N n n n niceeee job mate..
Cant wait to use them on avgani.
Any news on the permission?

Nope, but we won't have to worry about that anymore. i've removed all of Mcnools content from the addon on the last update. So all the work is original. unfortunately He never replied to my emails. but now, everything is a go.

[Due-_-]

Sounds nice....like so much of us said...we cant wait ;) nice to now it will come within the next two weeks :)

oh before i forget, its nice that you made it work without using any of McNools content but i guess u should credit him too for the Base :)

[Haystack15]

I cant wait for some des camo. Thanks for making it. Keep up the good work

[IceBreakr]

Excellent, just what my upcoming Isla Duala needs ;)

Must have missed one lol, will get onto that straight away :D
EDIT: Found the problem, have fixed, just testing first before sending to Marc
EDIT 2: Yes fixed it, will forward to Marc :D

[MarineSgt16]

I am having problems with your mod every time I try to start it up the main menu loads and the camera is underwater. also none of the mods I have selected load up

[RicoADF]

odd, what mods are you using in ArmA II, perhaps try just loading it by itself?

[MarineSgt16]

I set the mod as the only one running and it still had the problem it also happens on the FAA mod

[Steakslim]

I am having problems with your mod every time I try to start it up the main menu loads and the camera is underwater. also none of the mods I have selected load up

I have something similar with some other mods, not sure the cause, but it's harmless none the less.

[jakethesnake245]

Im having alot of missing stuff...M1A1 HC has no treads. M240 has no front bumper guard, missing texture on door..and yeh =) if you need pics just ask, But other wise great work =)

[Marc15yo]

OK Rico has just sent me a message saying he fixed the m240 bug and the TOW. We will be working on fixing these other problems ASAP. Version 0.2 will take care of most of these issues hopefully.

Here is the uploaded version 0.11

http://www.filefront.com/14837219/M15YO%20Vehicles%20BETA%200.1.rar

Really sorry about this. When i tested it with my un-modded version of Arma2 i didn't encounter any problems. but then again i am playing version 0.2 still.

[redrumNL]

Nice, finally, i was waiting for this..
Only is there a way you can make them also spawm as empty?
And the units mounted in the desert vehicles, are no desert units :(

Nice job so far :dance1:

Edit: Oh there is empty, :P didnt see them first.

[AnimalMother92]

maybe you could talk to Schnapsdrosel about integrating his desert USMC units into this?
http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=7248

[Marc15yo]

Will do. I'm Sending him a pm right now.


Hey Guys i was wondering for the Russian Vehicles in Desert theme what do you guys want to see?

I've been looking for Online References and couldn't really find anything. I'm also thinking doing to themes:

-Desert - undecided

-Green - Basically your typical russian old green armor color (soviet era i guess)




But yeah i'm having problems looking for reference for the desert theme. maybe something like what the MEC in battlefield 2 have. Anyways suggestions are welcomed.

[Soul_Assassin]

All 3 camos above look wrong to me. Iraqi's used pure sand yellow sometimes with olive drab camo pattern. Russian vehicle desert patterns as far as I rember only used in Afghan war were yellow/brown.

If you did serious effort trying to get permission and get no response in a reasonable time

Of course stating the actual source clearly.

Sorry to be completely off topic, but is this actually true!?

[Dmahon]

All 3 camos above look wrong to me.
Yeah this is the actual tank camo pattern that is currently in use by the Iraqi's
http://www.wired.com/images_blogs/photos/uncategorized/2008/01/27/t72_iraq_01.jpg

it's just a simple sand yellow colour, nothing more. Those BMP-2's in the background seem to be a sort of grayish colour though? Strange... anyway here is another shot of some T-72's from a better angle:

Sorry to be completely off topic, but is this actually true!?
I recall reading it somewhere as well, but I can't seem to find it in the Forum Rules any more..

Anyways, if you have any problems contacting someone for permission, try contacting Placebo (head moderator), according to this ArmA1 thread, he can contact the person directly and possibly give you advice what to do if you can't contact the original author.

I forgot to add to my post that the first pic is just a suggestion for his pattern. (The reason I said Iraqi is because it was under an Iraqi tank on the site I got it from.) The 2nd is the actual Russian Camo and (AFAIK) the 3rd is older Soviet Era Camouflage..

Placebo stated in like that in the forum. Search for his post.

Alright guys GREAT News!

Schnapsdrosel has agreed to let me add his desert marine soldiers in the config for the desert vehicles. :bounce3: Expect to see them in action on the next release. RicoADF will be working on integrating them into the addon.


In the mean time until we decide a good russian/ofpfor desert scheme :j: i will finish the usa side as planned with some snow vehicles for the upcoming and current snow islands.


I figured instead of giving them a snow camouflage, they might look cooler if i covered them with snow. To make them look like they've been doing a lot playing in the snow. It might look like a lot of work. but really it's not too much work. It's all about getting it to look like snow.


The First vehicle i've done are the M1A1 and the M1A2 Tusk. they were meant to be tests to see if i could achieve the right look. I think i did a pretty good job but i wanna hear what you guys have to say, suggestions...

here are the pics:

tell me what you think


Edit:
just realized the pics are over 100kb's so i fixed em

[Darkhorse 1-6]

I'd say give them a bit more of a dusting, although they look pretty good right now. For some reason they make me think of Nuclear Winter and Fallout/Ashes.

[RicoADF]

Agreed with Darkhorse

[Chrisgs]

Bit more dust yeh, but excellent work, well done.

[Drew]

hate to be off topic here but the desert vechiles, dont suppose you could retexture the cobra for me?I'm making a mission and it would be nice if I had a desert cobra instead of the grey one used in my video :D

Isn't that Israelian Cobras ?

edit : ho, you added a second pic, i was talking of the first ;)


On topic now, thank you very much for your great work Marc15yo, it's a pleasure to play with your "toys" :)

[RicoADF]

First link is Israeli and 2nd link is an olive drab AH-1G I think, one of the old models.
Modern marine cobra's come in gray and thats it.

[Marc15yo]

Ok well a little update for the Russian side. I got my desert template finished for the T-90. We can go anywhere from this. any type of camo really. It's up to you guys to decide.

1 - Desert Tan (like the US vehicles)
2 - Desert Tan with Brown camo like in this pic:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ac/T-90_armyrecognition_russia_011.jpg

3 - We can always go with Soviet era green with Sand covered all over it. like in this pic:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/50/IA_T-90_in_action.jpg/450px-IA_T-90_in_action.jpg


Really it's up to you guys i personally like them all.

Anyways here is what the Desert Tan template looks like. we can leave it like this or choose from one of the above choices:

http://i778.photobucket.com/albums/yy69/marc15yo3/arma22009-11-0317-10-29-68.jpg


@Drew - I guess i could do a little something. But i was thinking maybe instead of filling personal requests for people it would be a lot better if the entire community could benefit from it. maybe you guys could agree on a desert camo cobra like seen in this pic:
http://www.heliproz.com/images/cobra-3.jpg
but this one is an ah-1w not an ah-1z.

But i also need to tell you that the ground vehicles are going to be my top priority so maybe aircraft and other in game assets will come in later




I'd say give them a bit more of a dusting, although they look pretty good right now. For some reason they make me think of Nuclear Winter and Fallout/Ashes.

What exactly do you guys mean by "dusting"? i'm kind of confused a bit. do you mean i should take some of the snow off a bit more? or ADD more snow. if you guys could be a bit more specific. :confused:

[Drew]

Thanks man,

and http://i778.photobucket.com/albums/yy69/marc15yo3/arma22009-11-0317-09-44-80.jpg is the best in my opinion.

[Darkhorse 1-6]

By "give them more of a dusting" I meant add more snow, thick in some places not so thick in others. But keep some areas with just a thin bit of snow because it looks good.

[jakethesnake245]

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...russia_011.jpg This Desert Tan with Brown camo for the T90 looks great. As for the US vehicles good work!
Also what are you using to edit PAA's?

[Black1ron]

The snow camo vehicles need more of that good stuff. Looks like someone just put it through a light snow machine for half-a-second.

[thepiespy]

One thing you might want to consider for the winter versions is a field applied camouflage, several tank crews on all sides in World War II would try and camouflage their vehicle with whatever white paint or paint like material they could find.
http://www.wio.ru/tank/gal2/su-76.jpg

[RicoADF]

hmm, actually that would be good, a snow 'camo' and vehicle with snow on them as 2 different vehicles

[Marc15yo]

Hey guys. I just reworked on the snow vehicles again, by request.

I GIVE YOU MORE SNOW:

About the Russian/OPFOR business. i've come up with a great idea.


Russians will have 3 themes for their vehicles:

1) Desert Tan (like in the T-90 pics from my last post) except with brown camouflage just like jakethesnake suggested

2) and a Green version like this one:
http://img10.imageshack.us/i/bmp2wrubezhmby02.jpg/

3) will be the green version (#2) covered in snow



Russian Insurgents:

1) For the Insurgent Desert vehicles i'm thinking of giving them desert tan like this one:
http://images.totalgamingnetwork.com/images/2_bmp2.jpg
except really really beat up and rusty looking.

2) For their snow vehicles they will have their current skins except covered in snow.

that's about it for the OPFOR side.

[Darkhorse 1-6]

Looks good. Keep Up the good work.

[vilas]

concerning what said above more soviet/russian in desert or winter
i already told on my topic that i will support other addonmakers if they want desert or other (not conflicting with P85 camo/green versions, to not double )
so if you want desert/winter: Bradley, BTR60, 2S1 122mm Gvozdika, T80 (B, BV, U), BMP1 i see no problem and i will allow to reskin desert/winter, give MLODs whatever needed
than Iraq war mod can be easy done , Iraq has also T55 and T62, than contact Rygugu, he made best T55 and i made T62 of it

[RicoADF]

I say add the olive colour for russian vehicles, gives a generic green OPFOR vehicle, that way having plain olive and sand colour for both sides = versitile pack of generic vehicles that can used in any theme people can think of. Villa P85 is great, but if someone just wants a few Olive vehicles then its a waste to download a whole mod for 1 unit, some people (especially in Australia) have low download limits &/or speeds, and have to be picky with what they download. Thus wasting it on a mod for 1 or 2 units when a smaller addon can do the job is pointless. I do see where your coming from tho.

[vilas]

low speed and limit in rich country ?
don't joke :)
i have 1 MB downl. and 256 kB (30 kb) upload and ca. 5 or 10 GB monthly for 20 USD
and 150-200 MB is not a problem
of course when i will have more free time i will divide and release some vehicles (Bradley, BMP1, 2s1 , M109, Leo, T64/72/80 ) but i can't belive that in rich country you have worse internet than me in east europe

if this addonmaker wants reskins to desert or winter - no problem and i am helping :)

[Simon C]

Vilas, let's keep it on topic about the Desert Vehicles Pack, not P85. :)

You'd be surprised mate, our net isn't as good as you may expect, however best to stay on topic.

Anymore news on textures Marc? Last pics looked great :D

[Vultur]

I tried installing the pack of textures, but I have a serious problem, perhaps because the version of my game is German and I have to use a mod so that it is in English. Well I do not know, but what happens is that when I install the mod texture all other mods stop working including the mod English. Could someone help me with this please? The same happens with the FFAA mod terrorist, but not with the FFAA weapons!

[Haystack15]

hey guy I have a problem with the Humvee TOW. The TOW launcher is not showing up.

Are you going to retexture vehicles like the the MTVR or Ural?

I confirm this bug.
The TOW HMMWV does not show the weapon; it happens both for the manned crew as well as the empty vehicles.

Btw, great work. Looking forward for the complete release ;)

[McNools]

Hello guys, I just searched for my old nickname (McNools) here on the BIforums, and found this topic, I lost my password for my old McNools-account when I took a long break in modding, so I haven't been able to read any Pm's, it seems people have been trying to contact me for permission, but I don't think I have recieved any emails. I noticed that you decided not to use my stuff, but I just wanted to say that you can use it if you want to. Good luck with the mod. :)

Edit: And thanks to placebo, I got my old account back, nice guy. :)

[ziiip]

You might wanna release it already. :P :D

[SilverSniper99]

You might wanna release it already. :P :D

You might wanna learn some manners or maybe try doing it yourself.

Do not ask for something that you yourself would not do.
