Unremarkable Sunray

I've been tinkering on a project to update the British infantry in CMSF using variations of equipment from the 2007-2010 era. I've made some progress, but I'm now facing some challenges that I need help with. I've got the standard troops tidied up to uniformly use DDPM, made a DDPM Camelbak, and dropped in something to mimic the original CB camelbak motherlode which was popular at the time (I had one because it was ally ) Then I started trying to get the Osprey Mk4 that we started using between 2009-2010 in the game. I tried to force the game to use German characters, and with fiddling managed to equip them with the correct vest, but all their pouches vanished. Are there any steps I can take to fix this? Once that's done I'm hoping it's a quick jump to DDPM Mk4, mixed MTP/DPM/Tan, and finally maybe full MTP.

Hey, sorry for the slow reply. I haven't been as active on the forum lately. I actually got stuck on the project, my skills with Photoshop and the mod tools took me so far, and then I ran into a technical hurdle that I never overcame. I was only ever able to cobble together something on CMBN and couldn't figure out how to get it across to CMCW. As mentioned the weapon functionality wouldn't behave true to life so I sort of gave up. I've seen your stuff on JM's corner though, I could PM you or open it to the mod community and see if anyone can take it further with the stuff I just can't figure out on Blender.

Some playing to make the British slightly more uniform. Majority of changes are standard assets, some changes to the uniform borrowing UBACS style pockets from the ukforces mod. Added three helmets, all with cats eyes, two with sniper tape and one plain. Also pinched a USMC backpack as a stand in for the coyote tan camelbak motherlode which was popular before the introduction of MTP.

No real luck with heavy tanks, I'd thought about the Challenger from Shock Force but it looks out of place with RCWS. The FV432 works a bit better. Coming round to the idea of a West German replacement instead. With a lot more time I could try to reskin the M48 and M113A1, maybe try swapping the CMSF Leopard for Abrams then play around with parts from CMA and CMBN for infantry.

Last few mucking about

Spent a bit of time day dream a BAOR expansion over the weekend - used a mix of assets from CMSF, CMA and CMBN. Sadly no idea how to take it further as a playable faction mod.
