JMDECC Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 (edited) Not sure how much of an interest there will be, but I decided to share some faction mods I have made over the last month or so in case anyone wanted to use them. Not everything is completed in full, but are near a state of completion that I am happy with. I may make some tweaks/adjustments as time goes on, or if any major issues pop up. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/hnuj6bmyst5n6kg/AABYp29_jC7l2uOSzuwRUuSea?dl=0 The above drop box link contains individual downloads for the following: Britain -British Woodland DPM Uniforms -British Mixed Uniforms (Several variants of mixed S95 Woodland/Desert DPM Uniforms) Canada -Canadian Woodland CADPAT TW Uniforms -Canadian Mixed Uniforms (Several variants of mixed CADPAT TW/AR Uniforms) Netherlands -Dutch Woodland DPM Uniforms Germany -German Woodland Flecktarn Uniforms Russia -Russian Faction ca. 2008 (or as close as I could get it) modeled after the war in Georgia. Conscript units wear mixed VSR/Flora uniforms, whereas regulars are primarily in Flora. Weapons have been visually changed in some instances, ex: AKM swapped for AK-74 model. Helmets are updated to the SSh-68. Iran -Iranian Faction modeled after resource pictures I could find online. Units are wearing Iranian DPM. Load Bearing equipment is featured in a US DCU pattern that I frequently saw Iranian troops wearing online. AK family has been replaced with G3 rifles. PKM has been (mostly) replaced by the MG3. All vehicles have been painted a uniform sand/desert tan color. I was going to try and replicate some vehicle patterns I found online but I was never really satisfied with how they came out. After thinking about it, I may leave them untouched, as it paints them in a more generic light and doesn't force them to specifically be Iranian; they could be any kind of make-believe faction you can think of. Notes: -Regarding the Brits, Canadians, Dutch and Germans there are two sets for each camo type (woodland/mixed): one set that is clean and one set that is dirty. That way you can pick and choose which you would prefer. -In relation to the above, you only need to choose one of the options (Clean OR Dirty, not both) for each faction and drop that folder into your 'Z' folder to use. -Regarding the Russians, US Army & USMC, I did not alter the vehicle colors. There are a few mods (Euroscape) that come to mind that will give the vehicles more of a European paintjob. I would download those currently to complete the overall look. -Most folders in each download will have a section titled "PSD". These are the photoshop file types that I used while editing. If you have photoshop or a program that can accept .PSD files you can open them up and make any changes you'd like. Known Issues: -Russian Faction currently does not exhibit any changes to the SF units. I have a few ideas here for what I want to do in the future but this will require some more experimentation. -Iranian MG3's that are setup via tripod are currently sunken into the ground. Have not been able to figure this one out yet. -Iranian G3 rifles that replace the grenadier rifles do not have an underslung grenade launcher. Pretend they're just shooting rifle grenades! -Any instance where a weapon swap has been performed (AKM to G3 for instance) is purely cosmetic. The G3 will still use the same ammo type from whatever rifle it is replacing; equally so, the magazine sizes will also stay the same. There is nothing that can be done about this on my end. -The Editor Logo for the Iranian Faction correctly displays the Iranian Flag button, but the text still reads "Syrian Army". -The Editor Logo for the Russian Faction displays both the Syrian Flag and the text reads "Syrian Army". -Some of the weapon icons in the squad overview have black backgrounds, I forgot to alpha channel these out and only just noticed today. Not game breaking by any means but I will see about fixing it up later on if/when I make further adjustments. -The Russian faction is still currently using Arabic voices. Pictures: British Troops in Mixed DPM German Troops in Flecktarn Canadian Troops in CADPAT TW Russian Conscripts in VSR/Flora Russian Regulars in Flora Iranian Conscripts Iranian Regulars More Iranian Regulars w/BMP-1 Huge thank you to mjkerner who, about this time last year, walked me through how to begin changing/editing the base game files. Modding has brought me just as much enjoyment as playing the game and I would not have been able to do it without him. Again, hopefully these will be useful to someone and help mix things up a bit. That's all I have for now! Edited February 9, 2021 by JMDECC 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarendJanNL Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Thanks a lot for all these options, great work considering the screenshots.

37mm Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 (edited) Great work... I fashioned some "rudimentary" Flecktarn uniforms for (the modern era of) H&E but was fairly confident others would come through with better work eventually. I've been looking for a VSR/Flora mod for years too. Edited February 9, 2021 by 37mm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been looking for a VSR/Flora mod for years too. If you would like to use the flecktarn files for H&E by all means please do. I am not sure if you have photoshop or not, but I should have included the VSR & flora pattern templates as .psd files. Its a little unorganized as far as layers go but it should be there. If you want to use said patterns for anything please feel free to do so! Right now I only have the conscripts set for VSR uniforms but you could change it up for the whole faction if you wanted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMDECC Posted February 10, 2021 Author Share Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) A few additional screenshots to show some of the other unit variations... Brits in DPM Brits in DPM 2 Canadians in Mixed TW/AR Dutch DPM USMC in Woodland MARPAT There was also an issue I caught with the USMC files that were fixed; the dropbox link has been updated with the new files. If anyone else thinks the MARPAT pattern is too large let me know. I have been messing around with the sizing on it and I am not sure if I like it as is or not.

Sgt.Squarehead Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 If you are still after inspiration for Iranian armour, how about trying to dress a T-90SA up as the (largely fictional) Khorramshahr tank? The real thing was (probably) only a single prototype built in cooperation with Ukraine, it's a T-80/84 turret on a T-72S hull.....Kind of cool looking though. Here is one of the only two only other images that I've seen of it, in a distinctly less appealing camo-scheme: You can find the other here: https://defence.pk/pdf/threads/iranian-produced-military-equipment-that-you-probably-dont-know.168020/ Scroll down until you spot the same nauseating camo! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) Wow - that's an amazing achievement. Congrats on simply getting it done and released without making tons of posts publicizing what you were doing. Thank you! PS: You may want to consider adding a readme with the info you gave in your initial post. Presumably the Russian uniforms will work in CMBS(?)

Erwin, No, as it stands currently the Russians only serve as a replacement for the Syrian Army. Given the War in Georgia taking place in a similar time period to that of which CMSF is set, there are good reference photos available of Russian troops during that time period. With the Euroscape mod being available for DL, I figured an era-appropriate Russian force would fit well to mix things up a bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really hoping that individual tank parts had their own .mdr files, ex: one for the body, one for the turret, but was disappointed. Some interesting combinations could be achieved if that was a viable method. I'm not completely sure how far I can go with visual mods on vehicles but I am certainly going to experiment. For instance, I noticed that the Iranian Zulfiqar-3 tank looks very much like a Leopard 2. I haven't completely given up on camo schemes yet but getting them to look OK is what is difficult. Making sure that lines match up correctly across different portions of the model for uniformity is time consuming but with enough patience I might take another crack at it. Second pic reminds me very much of a faded British camo scheme. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) @JMDECC TBH fella, I'll be more than happy with your Iranians (& a certain map), they will get lots of use (& it is still on my desktop, but now greener).

I think the only reason I didn't do this in the first place was because I was using a multicam uniform instead of ACUs. I was thinking about doing a "dirty" and then an "extremely dirty" version. I don't know when I will get to this as I have been a bit swamped with IRL stuff as of late, but I'll try and get cracking on it for you as soon as I can. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
