Operation FacePlant US Infantry v1.00

[CameronMcDonald]

Somebody needs to really take these things off my hands. I've done ANOTHER bloody update to these infantry, and hopefully this time they will be final, good and proper. Quite a few tweaks and changes are in this one, so I'd say you should download this one even more than the last patch, as the fixes are quite major.

As per usual, all credits can be found in the included text file, and I strongly encourage everyone to read it before they use the addon. If I've missed you out, please PM me and I'll immediately put you in there.

Enjoy the new webbing, bigger, buffer, dirtier models, and the never-seen-before HELMET SHADOW ala FacePlant! Whack whatever Llauma face you want on your unit - the shadow will not go away! How did I do it? Who knows? Nah, thanks to ag_smith on that one.

Additionally, for those who would like to try a mission using these units, Kaan_ has redone the BIS mission Ambush into FP Infantry. I recommend you try it with DMA's Army replacement pack and BRG Nature Pack 4, it whoops ass.

Grab it here:

Happy editing,

I've been lookin forward to these downloadin now ...

[astano]

Hell yeah!

I've been excited for these for a while. Downloading now, but I won't have a chance to play them until tomorrow evening.

Awesome work! Had seen the screenshots posted in the photography thread and had hoped they would be intended for release. Hopefully all permissions get secured so this project can eventually be released!

First post in the BIS forums in a while... You know how much I've been looking foward to this Cameron

Downloading this, and all the required addons now.
Definately can't wait for the civ pack, I though you said you weren't doing them

[CameronMcDonald]

The civvies will hopefully be the first module released, since I don't have to worry about their super-duper-standardised weapons!

[marine26thmeu]

Have a question, after reading the readme and using these units for a little while I remembered it said the pack will eventually use the latest facetex2 - pack with 180 different faces? I assume this will be implented when/if all 3 modules are released? This as I realized the teaser did not require facetex2 file. Again, great work by the way!

[CameronMcDonald]

There will likely be a modified version of FacesTex2 for FP, with unnecessary faces + scripts deleted, and FP's own scripts included, but that is a small way off yet.

And you'll find the addon does need FacesTex2 => you must have had it already! I'll add it to the required addons list (can't believe I forgot it).

The reason I have not used any of the new scripts in this addon is because noone has made any extra "plain" US faces, and thus I'm stuck with either putting camo paint on them, which looks retarded, or using Russian faces, which also looks retarded (though to a lesser extent). So, rather than having funny looking units, I chose to use the base 14 faces Llauma included with his original pack. This of course, doesn't apply to the ghillie sniper/spotters, which use woodland camo faces.

About the woodland ghillie snipers... they seem to have desert boots....

Oh ok, didn't realize I already had them in . At any rate these units are kickass! Also just found something (I know this pack is mentioned as a teaser so not requesting it to be patched, rather bringing it to attention), when you pick up a pistol (so far either SJBs) the model does not show from a 3rd person pov, though it does in the 1st. Having too much fun with these new units, these and Sgt. Evs' ACU Rangers virtually have the same shade, great work!
