2nd Rangers Multicam

[Nixo]

Hello everyone!
Here is some WIP screens of my 2nd Rangers in Multicam. The gear is not 100% correct etc, and some of the textures are placeholders until further texturing is done. If I could rate my own work by looking at the quality, I would say at this moment it is a 5/10. Since there is ALOT of arma 1 stuff on them, And sorry, can't upload them HERE since thay are WAY over 100kb

(the m16a4 with front grip is not mine, as some of you already know =))
Suggestions are always welcome!!!

And this is my first addon to armaII so don't expect any Super high quality stuff, but i'll do my best.

And by the way? Is it OK. to post wip stuff in a new topic or should this be moved to "WIP Stuff you are working on2"?

Regards
Nixo :)

Thanks Binkowski :P That pattern pic looks great! :P Think I am going to change the current pattern to that one.

Off to work with the units -> ^^

[Christian.1987]

Lol, i see my Weapons on the pictures. :D

[Nixo]

Yes, I think they are fantastic. But need to ask you one thing, When i release my units may I use your weapons with my units? Since i probably have to ask before using them :D

[STALKERGB]

@<hidden>, looking good mate, if you have a way of editing the texture colour might be worth trying to increase the amount of tan in the multicam, playing around with the colour balance might help, still looking good buddy.

Thanks for the feedback ;) Yup gotta fix the colour.

[Nixo]

Todays Progress--->>>

Screeshots.

Hope you like the pictures, Sorry for the bad quality :( I know that the thing that the soldiers have on their shoulders (where you attach your flag patch etc) Does not look like that and the angle is wrong, I will most likely fix it sooner or later.

[Banderas]

Nice work Nixo, hope to see them released soon :)

[Kristian]

Nice units :D
Mk17 / Mk16 would look pretty neat with those :yay:

[Nixo]

Nice units :D
Mk17 / Mk16 would look pretty neat with those :yay:

Oh yes they would :P Anyone up for the job? :P Or is somebody already making them???

[Banderas]

More than probably ACE 2 will have Mk16/17 SCARS, Operation Arrowhead will have them for sure.

[Binkowski]

Try to take away that black border around the patch seams, doesn't need to be there. Sorry I'm such a stickler lol, I wear ACU's almost everyday and see some Rangers in Multicam so.

[MrNothing]

Looks great !
i've got alot more ref photo's of multicam. the guys in the pictures aren't rangers and are instead pararescuemen of the air force.

Vary nice job. Be nice to have an long range squad with big back packs, thats what they do this days. They fight it out in the mountains.

[Nixo]

Hello again, I need some help with my helmets. Question: Are they OK? Do they look even a little like the MICH? Or should I completely remake the helmet?

Or is this helmet better? Ignore the camo etc just look at the shape of it! If this is better what should I improve on it?

US Army, at least, my division, and most all of the infantry divisions no longer use MICH. We now use ACH.

http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/images/GEAR_ACH_Helmet_CH-47_Incoming_lg.jpg

Just a few.

[Nixo]

Thanks Binkowski! I have modelled the helmets, they do now look more like the ACH MICH TC-2OOO. Dunno if it is the correct one that they use, But as far as I can see it looks pretty good. Now i have to make the textures fit the helmets shapes.

[Nixo]

Question!?
What type of backpacks do the Rangers use? I already have a not that great model of a Eagle MOLLE Modular Assault backpack or whatever it is called
IMAGE: http://markketting.com/zen-cart/images/309_Alt_1.jpg

and I have a question about my multicam texture. Here is the currenthttp://img210.imageshack.us/img210/4827/ussoldieracuco.jpgAs you can see it is more darker, colour are more visible

But in my oppinnion it looked to woodland(ish) so i made another version of it, http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/7855/ussoldieracucocopycopy.jpg NOTE THAT THE QUALITY IS NOT THAT BAD FOR REAL! IN ORDER TO GET THE PICTURES UNDER 100KB I HAD TO REDUCE THE QUALITY.

I have noticed that the lighter camo fits very well in desert enviroments :P

So wich one is better? Any more suggestions?

[STALKERGB]

Yeah that second one looks really good mate, i'd go for that one if i were you, sorry i cant help on the backpack types...

[Clavicula_nox4817]

The second picture would be more accurate for a well-worn uniform and should be the one you use. Backpack should be the standard MOLLE assault pack or any other pack, really, it shouldn't matter that much. A bag is a bag is a bag.

[Binkowski]

Agreed. Basically, just give them SF Gear. Maybe even the Crye armor. If you want to do something "futuristic".

[Banderas]

The second texture looks much more authentical to me

[Blueteamguy]

Ditto

[Avandir]

The Ranger tab has no color on a real uniform. It's "subdued."

Google it.

None of the patches on a uniform have color, it's all subdued.

As I was. In a stateside garrison environment, they'd have color, in a combat zone, subdued.

[Nixo]

Excellent! Thank you all for helping! :D
And I have a model of the Crye armor, it does not fit my soldiers at the moment since i made it for an arma 1 soldier WITH the older armor already attached to the soldier, need to rework it a bit and retexture it

[Nixo]

Some new WIP Images in Low quality, High quality ones will be uploaded tomorrow. (I have no time to upload the higher qualitys at the moment)

[Clawhammer]

Why you dont upload them to sites like this:

[Rellikki]

The units are starting to look pretty promising. :) Keep it up.

[AnimalMother92]

looking nice, not so keen on the backpack though.

Sorry once again for the bad quality. Don't know how to pack the images below 100kb without making the quality bad :(

Some people make a single Hi-Res picture than cut,copy,and paste to make 3 or 4 separate images.

[usarmy19dsniper]

If you want to make these guys look realistic, you have to change some things. The pictures of the 75th ranger guys in full multicam is not realistic, it was a photo op to show off the new equipment, and what better way to show that equipment off then to have a bunch of high speed rangers in full kit. This is not how the rangers roll.

I will start from top to bottom.
Kevlar Helment ( MICH ) - Rangers don't use helmet covers, they are usually spray painted and have patches of velcro on them for IR patches or any other random stuff. They also don't have goggles on them all the time because of that fact that goggles always get hung up on things. The NVG mount is also different as it is in the shape of a triangle.

Body armor/kit - Here is the backhttp://www.armytimes.com/xml/news/2008/11/ap_iraq_special_forces_110308/110308_specialforces_800.JPG
Here is the front http://news.soc.mil/releases/News%20Archive/2007/June/secdef.jpg These pictures are of Special Forces soldiers, but SF and Rangers do wear the same kit as far as the plate carriers are concerned.

Pants/Belt - This is pretty much optional, some soldiers have thigh holsters, extra mag pouches, knee pads you name it. Boots are usually not bloused.


I don't want to tell you how to make your addon, I just wanted to pass some info along and help you out to make a quality addon.

[Nixo]

Thanks for all the tips and info about rangers! This addon is not about 100% realistic rangers. I like the Future Force Warrior program wich includes the Crye Precision things. But not over exadurate armor clothing etc but keeping it on a bit present day level.
I have decided to:
+Change the backpack
+Remove some of the helmet covers and <TRY> to make some helmets without the cover.
+Body armor will be mixed in Tan desert/dark greengray and multicamo, textures will also be improved (hopefully)
+Scarfs will be added to some soldiers.
+NVG Mount will be changed at some point.

This will take some time. But hopefully after 3 weeks I still have the spark to continue on these! :)

HQ images as promised. Well not so HQ but better anyway!

And thanks to Clawhammer for the link to imgimg.de :)

[Nixo]

Here is some WIP images of the mich helmet without helmet cover. Note that the ACR is not completed, and the texture is just a placeholder atm. And i saw a image how the IR should be attached, but i do not remember anymore. Can you please tell me how it is fastened to the helmet? Or is it ok as it is. OOOR should i just remove it. http://s2.imgimg.de/thumbs/nimetn1604efc8fPNG.png (http://www.imgimg.de/bild_nimetn1604efc8fPNG.png.html)http://s2.imgimg.de/thumbs/nimetn28ac9479cPNG.png (http://www.imgimg.de/bild_nimetn28ac9479cPNG.png.html)

[usarmy19dsniper]

Flip the IR strobe the other way, basically that black part on the end is the IR lens for the strobe light, it faces up so when you turn it on aircraft can see it. But yeah, you pretty much nailed the helmet good job.

Usually the strobes are attached with velcro, and also tied down to the helmet itself. The way you have it now is probably good enough.

One thing I forgot to add is that they usually have Peltor hearing protectors. Completely up to you if you want to add them in.

[Firehead]

Norotos NVG mount is too small, its supposed to be alot larger, it needs to be mountable with the standard rhino mount.

His IR strobe is just modeled incorrectly, its not upside down. Its missing the IR shield on top. Also, the strobe is too small. Essentially you are correct, velcro on the underside of the strobe, with a thin strip attached to the velcro on the helmet, but not to cover the slider that turns the strobe on and off.

Change the chinstrap, Army pax don't use the XHarness chinstraps like on the LWH. Look into the OpsCore chinstrap, or just use a regular chinstrap from the ACH/MICH. You should also look into adding the goggle retention straps on the back of the helmet(look at the soldier without the helmet cover, those little things on the left and right).

The Wasatch looking vest they are wearing needs to go. Just like the pictures that were posted, you'll see more specialised units(Rangers, SF) wearing the Eagle CIRAS, or Plate Carriers.

[ebanks129]

Man those are nice!! good job so far man!

[Raj]

Awesome Work Nixo91..the helmet really look nice:yay:

[Nixo]

Once again thank you all for the help! :D The IR is just a placeholder atm as said before, and will be remodelled and textured. the vests will be modified a bit so that they look more like CIRAS vests. The chinstraps are untouched but i will start working on that today, and I will remake the vest. That is todays schedule.

More WIP images soon :)

And forgot to say that the NVG mount will be bigger :D

[Nixo]

More WIPs for you :) http://s2.imgimg.de/thumbs/arma22009100820332584dba3b775jpg.jpg (http://www.imgimg.de/bild_arma22009100820332584dba3b775jpg.jpg.html)http://s2.imgimg.de/thumbs/arma22009100820333275e79ac9b2jpg.jpg (http://www.imgimg.de/bild_arma22009100820333275e79ac9b2jpg.jpg.html)http://s2.imgimg.de/thumbs/arma220091008203339390275b376jpg.jpg (http://www.imgimg.de/bild_arma220091008203339390275b376jpg.jpg.html)
(THE EQUIPMENT IS VERY THE SAME ON THE UNITS, THIS WILL BE CHANGED)

As you can see i have TRIED!!! note TRIED! To make a Ciras vest. If I may say it myself I am pleased with the result.
More and more problems pop up now that i changed the vest. Alot has to be remade in order to stay on the body and not bounce around flawlessly. There are still a few things to change on the helmet. And a few minor texture things on the gear.

Now once again I would like you to look at the images and say what i could change and make better or even remove or add :)

SORRY, DOUBLE POST, THEN I SCREWED UP THE ENTIRE POST. Only LINKS available NOW :(

[Nixo]

Double post, sorry

[Christian.1987]

This is Very Very Nice Nixo. Great Work. Keep up. :bounce3:

[Delta One Zero]

Excellent work with the Rangers. Though just wondering do you have any plans to add knee pads to any of the units in the future?

[Black1ron]

Any chance these guys will get some love in OA? Because if so, then those little boxes (I know what they are, just calling them little boxes) on the back might actually amount to something. Other than eye candy, of course.

[Blueteamguy]

Sup?
I noticed that you have a guy with an M8 Compact, any chance you'll be doing the actual carbine as well? I think the compact is... Small and the way BIS has it gripped doesn't look right to me.

[AJsarge]

Very cool! Are you going to be releasing them as another blufor side? (like the F-16 mod) Or just as a new "[ranger]Rifleman" kind of deal in with the marines?

Blueteamguy: All the XM8s are that way. I'd use them more during multiplayer if they didn't block so much of my view. Plus, I remember seeing a picture of some rangers with HK SCAR-H's showing off during a NASCAR race. (I can't remember which model it is. At least it's not the Crysis SCAR. But codemasters did get the idea right with giving the SF units SCARs)

PS: Nixo-Change the straps for the holster and belt to an olive drab or "coyote" tan. The Camo'd gear doesn't look as good with the black material compared to OD. You might even add a basic lo-res texture to it so that it's not a solid color.

[Nixo]

DELTA ONE ZERO

Excellent work with the Rangers. Though just wondering do you have any plans to add knee pads to any of the units in the future?

-Yes, soldiers with kneepads will be added before the beta release.

- The M8 will most likely be removed. But if I use the M8 the carbine will more likely be equipped by these units.

They are under BLUEFOR/75th Ranger Regiment/2nd Rangers. And holster colour will be changed!

Very nice work Nixo91..the pics are awesome...the backpacks looks cools too :yay::yay:

Looking forward to playing with these US Rangers nice work :thumb:

[Delta One Zero]

Thanks for replying to my post nixo, definitely can't wait to get my hands on these. Would be perfect for some missions in Afghan Village or Avgani.

[Nixo]

Yes, that has crossed my mind. But then again I am pretty determined to do everything myself. I asked him to convert his units to arma 2 and i asked ardvarkdb to do the same thing (multicam sf) but Jhonny tought his units were not ArmA II quality, wich I do not think is the case cuz they look fantastic. But it is his units, his decission.

I will probably ask for some models of Jhonny, and if I have time and will I could ask him if he would be so kind to send me his unbinarized models so I could convert them over to ArmA II.

P.S. I am taking a short break from doing my units. I have got a lot of things to think about right now.

But I promise a release! I am not leaving this project at all. See the release in a couple of weeks, Before Xmas atleast :D

Yousendit is good, mediafire, filefront, rapidshare. Etc.

Rapidshare is good imo, but I have a premium account so I guess I'm biased :P

Great job Nixo, it's nice watching these come along.

Just wanted to point out a texture glitch on at least some of the vests. The ACU guys seem to be fine, though!

Absolutely great Nixo, Downloading NOW :yay: :yay: :yay:

[yanquis]

is there a reason you can never get proper 'groups' in mods? it would be nice if you could have the option to deploy a squad of OMON, BW, rangers etc, instead of having to deploy individual units every time.

I am a complete noob when it comes to making configs. my apologies for not including groups. Must study further in the config cathegory before I can make any groups.

[yanquis]

ha thanks, that would be cool if you did, i wasnt complaining to you in particular just wondering why no one does it.

[Raj]

nice units Nixo91..downloading them asap.
thx

[Nixo]

Mirrors added to first page/first post

[Binkowski]

What Black1ron reported looks more like a RVMAT problem to me. Also, if you want. I can write up a group config for these units if I have time.

[Clavicula_nox4817]

Good work, buddy. Downloading now.

[Cescollino]

if someone could also make some normal faces without camo..would be nice. Awensome work anyway

[Black1ron]

What do you mean with the texture glitch? Is there no textures on the vest?

Yes, if you look at the vests, there's no color on the vest.

[713th FireBird]

Hmmm real nice work, but are the backpacks completed or are they just part of the beta release and unfinished ?

[Blueteamguy]

wow, these guys work great, i am totally kicking russian ass right now!
EDIT: i found some units that have either A: a handgun or B: nothing at all
ACOG
Assault 1&2
Medic
Scout
X (need to double check)
Spec ops 1,2,&3
is this intended? if not, plz fix. i'll post more when i find 'em

[Due-_-]

oh by the way i love em

I deeply apologize for the missing textures.

Missing weapons: I have no clue why the weapons are missing, did you add Christian.1987's handgrip weapons? Because they are needed. I will release a version with Normal bis weapons.

Missing Textures on vests: This is also a mystery for me, because I tested the units before the beta release and they all had camo on their vests............

Binkowsky: Thanks for the offer but if you DePbo the .pbo file you will see it is a complete mess. I have one config for each unit so it might be hard to get a group config. I will try to do this on my on but if I do not get any group configs working I will contact you. Thanks again.

Backpacks: No they are placeholders. I have not yet started working on the final model for that. If I do not make it I might ask Johnny if I may use his backpack.

Camo: Will be made more desert A-Like.

Thanks for the comments. I will soon re upload a new beta wich SHOULD have the vests fixed.

P.S. Is there any vest that DOES work?

I don't know what problems other people are having, but they all have textures and weapons for me.

Ya there vary nice units just that need an tweak in the textures better textures all around. Its an beta so some stuff is not going to be 100% but the textures on the uniforme could use some tweaks too.

Squad leaders and Team Leaders need binoculars.

Oops! Forgot to tell you, but nice units besides the glitch!

[Baskis]

Awesome units! I've been waiting for Ranger addons for ARMA 2.

I will slowly and silently try to fix this addon. For next beta release, expect taner camos. hopefully better working vests and gear, better textured and normal mapped vests and gear. Then I really hope that the vest problem gets fixed... This can take very long.

Wish me luck...

Good luck:bounce3: But we know ya can do it for in time it will be an vary nice addon.

I wanted to say that the keffiyeh were well done and a good touch, but I thought that they were maybe too bright. It seems like they have a lot of bloom, or something? I don't know. I think the bare helmets (such as the squad leader's) were also bright. The helmets shouldn't be too shiny, it's still a dull color.

Hello everyone. I am sorry to inform you that I have made NO progress in solving the vest problem. I am still working on it from time to time, but it is pretty depressing to look at those units everyday. There is no joy anymore in changing them and improving them. But I will see what I can do.
And if Ardvarkdb releases his multicam units, my units are as good as dead. I have small, but VERY small, plans on asking for his permission to retexture his guys, (or johnnys originaly)

So I apologize if this does not turn out well...

P.S. Unbinarized models will be released if someone requests them... So you can take a look at them.

To tell you the truth, i would use both yours and Aardvark's units, so I don't know why yours would be dead. Not like if Cameron made U.S. Army units, and Binkowski made U.S. Army units, and Binkowski's were better (hypothetically, of course, both are great addon makers!), it's not like both would have to stop making them. But if you find no joy in making these units, than don't make them.

[Binkowski]

Yeah man. Don't stop with your work! It is really good! You and ardvarkdb make very good work. I would be more than happy to take a look at your vest problem for you. And see what I can do. However, don't expect much. I couldn't model a block to save my life.

hehe, speak of the devil.

Before I start asking for someone else to look at the units. I will re binarize the units and release them one more time. If the problem is gone. I will continue improving the units. If not, I might ask for help

Nixo, I just noticed that there is not a lack of textures at all! It's just they're extremely light, so if you darken the textures a bit they'll be fine.

Sorry to inform you. This addon is D E A D. My HDD died. Now the entire community knows about it :P But lost everything, including this addon. Binkowski however saved my other MCU soldiers. And TAKKO has also my rifles uploaded on a site. So when I fix my computer I'll work on the units and weapons :)

Hey

Still dead?
