Hehe actually your right Bil they do, and Ill rerender them if I have a chance, but they are set up that way for a reason. In the real time engine the slight specular is needed to increase the shadow defination. The result is darker shadows without the shine 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtMuhammed Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Angryson: glad you're back man. All you need in that photo is some winter whites. I cracked up when I saw the 550 cord around your PAQ4. Some things never change. Is that new cammo pattern the everyday uniform now? Those didn't even exist in 2000. From a former grunt, thanks for everything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yardstick Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 sgtgoody (esq), thank you. As you can see, we still tie down everything! The ACU replaced the BDU/DCU so it's the only thing we wear now. I'm still not quite sold on it, but it's not like I have a choice. Laters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1A1TC Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Technically, there is still long time before BDUs are completly phased out. There are still a lot of soldiers wearing them. Most National Guard units still have BDUs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mazex Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 He he, did not notice that the banner had changed either... Then I realized that they have stolen my idea for a crotch mod! Damn thee! The very first CMSF mod as it was supposed to be! Look in this thread where I legitimately whine about the thighs beeing too thin on the original banner soldier (or the groin too big). A very useful and contributive post... This was my original edit of the soldier that I thought had to thin thighs (you will also see how much the soldier have progressed which may be more relevant ). And now we add the new soldier from the new banner: Spooky isn't it? They've clearly ripped mod crotch mod! What am I going to do now? I remember other moroons like me whining about the M4 beeing to big and they have obviously been ripped of their modding ideas too! /Mazex 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Well, in our defense the original weapon was a M-16 We're probably going to ditch the crotch armor. Pictures out of Iraq show it is (as we've been told) a rare sight. Same with the upper arm wrappers. However, it appears the game engine can randomly insert some stuff, so it will likely be randomly seen in the game. I think! Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as Steve mentioned the origional model was an M16 now an M4, and was scaled to its actual size. Since then it looks like the M16 is near completely phased out so currently we have switched to the M4 with M203a1, though that may change again too.

Imperial Grunt Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Gosh, okay to get on the critical bandwagon: -no 3-point sling on M-4 -no 40mm pouches on vest -no smoke grenade(s) on vest -no PAQ-4 or PEQ-2 on M-4 -no tactical light on M-4 -no NVG mount on helmet -no kneepad(s) -no pistol holster or thigh mag rig -no squad or individual radio -cant tell if there is a division patch -Army rank is place center mass on flak (or the IBA as they call it), cant tell if that is there And of course the soldier and the weapon are parade-ground clean. But that is way better computer work than I can ever do, so who am I to complain? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that is way better computer work than I can ever do, so who am I to complain? Actually Im happy to say that most of this is possible and planned IG (including the goggles cover M1), depending on how we go with time The sling is certainly a problem due to its dynamic nature and I doubt its something you will see in game in the near future (though not totally impossible to do). The cool part with the new engine we are working on is that I can make all of these items individually and add them to the soldiers depending on their needed loadout (this guy was set up with the standard rifleman loadout, as least standard according to the molle manual I have, but we havnt done much to him in some time). Out of interest, how common are the below items in the field? -kneepad(s) -pistol holster or thigh mag rig -individual radio The first photos we had of the ACU in use didnt have any of the guys using kneepads, but many do appear to be using them now. Also I see some guys using pistols but not too many, at least in recent photos Ive sen...what sort of ratio are using them?

hellfish Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Kneepads are fairly common. Individual radios are usually restricted to leaders (NCOs and officers). Pistol are carried by officers, machinegunners (M240B), some SF guys and some vehicle crewmen. Average joe won't have a pistol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
