Hi,
 
I want to try adding an ocean background sound. I found these are the specs required (Thanks Mord!) Any suggestion for a program I could get to see if the wav files meet these specs?
 
Thanks,

Sahrani Liberation Army
by IICptMillerII

The Sahrani Liberation Army (SLA) is the army of the fictional country of the Democratic Republic of Sahrani from the videogame Arma: Armed Assault made by Bohemia Interactive.
I decided to make this reskin because I've always liked the "generic OpFor" look of the SLA. The "lore friendly" loadout of the SLA is mechanized infantry in BMP-2s (Syrian 
Republican Guard formation) along with T-72M1s. However, all T-72 variants and the BMP-1 have been retextured as well to allow for flexibility when using the SLA.
This modpack will replace the following stock Syrian assets:
Regular and Reserve infantry
BMP-1
BMP-2
BRDM
T-72 (all variants)
Shilka
Special Forces (NOT Syrian airborne)
Voices:
In Arma, the SLA have hispanic heritage, thus speak Spanish. However, I have given them Russian voices and names as these assets are readily available from Combat Mission Red
Thunder and Combat Mission Black Sea. Going through the process of creating a whole new set of voices in Spanish would have taken me too long and been far too labor intensive.
Infantry:
Both Regular and Reserve Syrian infantry have been retextured to look like SLA soldiers. Regular infantry have their rifles model swapped to use the AK-74. This is purely a
cosmetic change, as the game still simulates them firing the 7.62mm round of the AKM. Additionally, the stock helmet texture has been remade by SaintFuller to model the Soviet
SSh-68 helmet. The textures for the helmet were made by SaintFuller and tweaked by myself. All other infantry textures were made by myself.
Vehicles:
Included are reskinned BMP-1s, BMP-2s, T-72s, BRDMs, and the Shilka. All textured by myself.  

Especas:
These are the Special Forces of the SLA. They are equipped primarily with AKS-74Us and wear green berets into combat instead of a combat helmet. The stock Syrian Special Forces
are used to represent the Especas. The AK-74Ms and helmets have been model swapped for the AKS-74Us and berets. The beret is from Combat Mission Battle for Normandy with the
retexturing done by myself. The AKS-74U model is from Shock Force 2. All other Special Forces textures were made by myself.

Known Bugs:
Sometimes, swapped model textures will "flicker" when viewed from a distance or from up close. To my knowledge there is no way to fix this. However, it is mostly unnoticable.
Credits:
Battlefront.com for making Combat Mission and most of the base textures and models
Bohemia Interactive for making Arma: Armed Assault and the SLA
IICptMillerII for making most of the textures and model swaps
SaintFuller for making the SSh-68 helmet model and base textures
Usage:
You are free to use this mod how you like. If you use any assets from this to make your own mod, just be sure to give credit where it is due.

From Circling the Wagons, playing as OpFor. This Abrams just refused to die:

It was still alive at the end of the scenario. 

Interesting. Thanks!

Do the Pixeltruppen all fall asleep walking through the poppy fields?

Windmills are present in FB's archives but not available in the editor despite Holland being depicted as one of the locations. Here is a way to enable windmills...
It's triggered by a "bogus" bitmap. Simply add the bogus bitmap to your Z folder. I included a snow roof too.
The windmill will appear in the editor as the last (bottom right) independent 4 story commercial building.
The windmill works exactly as in CMBN, but it's snowbox is square. So in deep snow conditions the snowbox around the bottom floor looks a bit wonky.

This discovery leads me to ask what else can be enabled by bogus bitmaps...? There is a lot of content in the brz files of FB that don't appear in game like various others bridges e.g canal bridges.

As a former armor crewman, I can confirm that this is not a thing I would want my tank to do on a regular basis.  
 
Track is heavy and a real PITA to fix, especially under fire.  Add a level or two of difficulty for having to fix it while not in the motor pool....
 
If the crunchies have demo, armor should sit back a bit and use all those wonderful weapon systems to support.  IMO of course.  

I like the suggestions. I would advocate for Canadian Forces to be included. Given a significant population of Canadians who descend from Ukrainians the connection is strong still and Canada has provided training and arms in real life. I feel confident that Canada would contribute troops to a NATO force in this fictional scenario.

Michael, I believe, sees where I'm coming from. Poland is larger than any nearby neighbor of Ukraine and has much at stake as to what happens there. Plus Poland really doesn't like Russia of course.  
@Derkommissar  I believe you're right about the Lore.
 

Netherlands
Kind of the same deal than with the Bundeswehr, could be more granularity as egulations doesn't seems to be that much enforced there. 



("Holland" is a, common, mistake)

Germany
National flag usually on both upper arms (at the very least on the right), sometimes with "Germany" above it. Custom insignia on right upper arms (usually the mission's insignia, units' insignia doesn't seems to be worn on the combat dress. Until proven otherwise.)

UK
Left arm
Union Flag
Formation Insignia
Right Arm
Tactical Recognition Flash (TRF)

Formation Insignia Reference (scroll down to Modern):

Indeed, among volunteer and even regular units in 2014 there were many self-made armored cars and usual cars, adapted for combat. Also such vehicles were using from opposing side. Alas, even for part of it need to do separate module %)
Several examples:
This was civil Nissan

This is Dodge Dacota

And this miniatue armored car is made from UAZ-469 (this tiny one survived the hell of 2014-2015 and now in museum)

But most famous one is, of course, "Ginger" of "Azov" battalion - APC on the base of KAMAZ truck. Photo from museum, 12,7 HMG dismounted. Though there were many similar constructions. 

With Captain Miller's permission I'm going to take a crack at putting division patches on the stock game US Army uniforms using his patch graphics as a starting point. He has enlightened me that the patches should be a grey and black as opposed to green and black. I'll let him explain the uniform/camo pattern naming conventions if he wishes.

Yes we all know it's gone, and as I understand it, it's not coming back, but is there any plan in the works to release all the file to CMMODS/Scenario depot?
Thanks
 

This is a camo retexture that will change the appearance of US Army infantry to wear Multicam OCP. There are 5 divisions included in this pack. They are, the 101st Airborne (Air Assault) Division, the 1st Cavalry Division, the 2nd Infantry Division, the 4th Infantry Division, and the 25th Infantry Division.
All gear items such as holsters, mag pouches, backpacks, etc are in OCP as well. For the AR-670-1 enthusiasts out there, the boots have also been changed to be in regs with OCP.
All heavy units come with uniforms that replace the tanker uniforms to be OCP as well, but there are no divisional insignia on them.
To use, simply place the named folder (for example “Multicam 1st Cavalry Division”) into your Z folder.
You cannot use more than one division at a time, and the uniform files have not been mod tagged.

@Splinty and @sburke I know both of you were asking for some of the divisions included in this pack. Here ya go!
Hope everyone else enjoys. As always, remember that I am in no way a skilled modder. I'm very much an amateur when it comes to all of this. Any mistakes or errors are my own. 

Here is an index of all files one can explode (extract) from the brz files. CMSF2 is not included, yet.
Out of curiosity, here are the # of items that comes with each game :
CMBN : 12 192 items CMFI : 15 628 items CMFB : 13 285 items CMRT : 7 000 items CMBS : 9 141 items > CMx2ExplodedFilesIndex (Google Sheet)



As for what it can be useful to, sky is the limit. I use to find where is what, to guess what files the games have in common and if there's something missing in my mods collection, eg.

Since the Marines are historically, chronically short of supplies, I thought it my patriotic duty to make some stuff for them.  Not posted yet because I need to become an author on CMMODS and double-check them for the umpteenth time, but hopefully by tomorrow. These are in Marpat Digital, Woodland, and plain OD Green. Each type will have 3 folders, for Gear, Helmets and Vests, so you'll be able to mix and match to give them a ragtag look if you want.
Uniforms will follow soon.

Thanks MC Stud Muffins (shouldn't that be singular?).
This project started out small, just some simple gear and helmets, but it expanded  and I find myself spending way too much time on it.  So even though I'm not that happy with certain parts, I'm uploading it at CMMODs III, because I want to get on to other projects. I will certainly entertain all suggestions, changes, etc. I can always issue a version 2.  I don't know how long it takes to get "Author" approval at CMMODs, plus I have about 7" of snow to shovel out of the driveway, so don't know exactly when it will be up.  
I hope they meet expectations.

Still a lot of work left on these and others, Mord, but it's a start and I'm having fun.  Won't get much done now until after Christmas.
 


 
Africa!


 
Marxist Insurrection!

Army uses "smod_american_uniform_ucp-tanker" and Marines use "smod_american_uniform_tan-tanker".
LAVs use the Marine tanker uni with tanker helmet
Brads use the regular Army uni with a tanker helmet
One more question like that and I am changing your screen name to Erwin. LOL.
 
@mjkerner GOOD STUFF, brother! Really nice work, man!
 
Mord.

The unmodded US Army uniforms in the game are ACU (Army Combat Uniform), the USMC's are Desert MARPAT.

Thanks for the corrections!

Thanks Cpt. Miller!  I had checked out sbobovyc's thread but like you, I'm just not that experienced to want to even attempt to tackle 3D models.
@Rokossovski:  I'm working on texture mods for Syrians, among others.  Here are some screen shots of preliminary (that is, slapped together very quickly, lol) tests of some camo for African troops. I have a lot of camo patterns I'm planning for various nations/rebels/etc., and there will be some specifically for Syrians.  But the skins are separate from the uniforms, so they could all be used for Syrians.  With Cpt. Miller's mods and I'm sure a lot of other modders, you should have plenty to choose from!
