sawomi Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 My very first published mod ever: Combat Mission: Afghanistan + US M81 Woodland/Ragtag camouflage for Mujahideen and Tribal Militia forces + made by Smaragdadler - changes Digi-Camouflage for Mujahideen to US M81 Woodland - adds additional jacket color variant + M81 trousers and jackets - different combinations for Ragtag-look - adds new face variants. Sample pictures: Soon available at the Repository in the Combat Mission Afghanistan folder. Comments welcome. Thank you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mord Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 That looks REALLY nice, man! Really nice! BUT now I am gonna have to kill you. You just murdered a weeks worth of work! Me and Bird Strike had the EXACT....and I mean EXACT thing going on...we were/are working with M81 Woodland camo LOL... Some of my research pictures... That's funny we were all thinking in the same direction. The first unis to be modded and what not as well. Well, will see how much different ours comes out and then hopefully we can compliment yours...the more Muji the better, right? Again...really good job. Congrats!

sawomi Posted September 25, 2010 Author Share Posted September 25, 2010 Yes of course. You can combine my mod in yours. No problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Well, what I am thinking is I can release two versions...one regular and the other I'll rename our textures so that they coincide with yours...that way if people want to combine both, ours won't overwrite yours when in the z folder. We've only just started...about a week ago or so...he's working on building his texture palette and re-rezing the original textures...trying to make them sharper. I am excited to see what he comes up with. After that I'll get to work on the mixing and matching and all that. Mord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sawomi Posted September 25, 2010 Author Share Posted September 25, 2010 [...]Some of my research pictures... Do I see a trouser in Strichtarn on this pic? (aka East German-"Rain Pattern"). Maybe a Polish or Czechoslovakian variant. Or South African copy? Seems I have to make a v2.0 version of my mod. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mord Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Do I see a trouser in Strichtarn on this pic? (aka East German-"Rain Pattern"). Maybe a Polish or Czechoslovakian variant. Or South African copy? Seems I have to make a v2.0 version of my mod. Good eye... I was trying to figure out what other patterns they might've worn between 78 to around 84. Figuring anything western from the 60s upward would be believable...but couldn't come up with any pics to verify beside M81...didn't even notice that! I figured it was brown pants. Supposedly that pic is from the period...so that is a good find. In the other pic one of the guys is wearing some kind of Marine or Army desert cam...I don't know for sure if that pic is from Soviet Afghan war, or US Afghan war, you can't trust the labeling half the time.

Mord. I think both pics are post 1990. (digital camera). First is for sure not 80's. (US 3 Color Desert and M4). Can't really belief Mujahideen had that much eastern block clothing before 1989/90. Has DDR sent 'help' to Communist government of Afganistan short after 1978? Don't know. But they sent rain drop camo to SWAPO in the 1980s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sawomi Posted September 26, 2010 Author Share Posted September 26, 2010 Oh guys, if only some one did a soviet infantry mod I will for sure do it, but probably only for myself. Reason is, that I usually mod the uniforms to as much diversity as possible (the same texture again and again [and again...] but with different dirt/blood effects applied). That means the file gets really big and the loading time goes up exponentially. To load a CMSF scenario with my heavily modded installation takes 5-7 minutes. That's fine with me because I'm used to it. But I don't think much people will accede with this. Thought about to post my main Syrian infantry mod, but as I saw the file size (over 200 MB), I dropped the idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongLeftFlank Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Mujahideen (and Taliban) kit originates from 3 sources: (a) homemade/homespun ( captured or stolen from the Soviet(US)-backed government/army © Pakistani bazaars, most notably Peshawar. The last is significant, since mujahideen suppliers including the Pakistani ISI, CIA and Saudi-based Islamic "charities" (the forefathers of Al Qaeda), could acquire and ship in a global assortment of secondhand weapons and equipment, from US Vietnam war to Bloc (Czech, Rumanian, Yugoslav) exports, to Chinese knock-offs of all the above. A lot of this came out during the Iran-Contra hearings (Ollie North et al. used the same logistical mechanisms to funnel materiel to the Contras). Also, Pakistan flip-flopped between West and East multiple times during the Cold War, in synch with India. And with each new military aid package, a large quantity of obsolete Pakistan Army kit made its way into the domestic bazaars. Hence the Bren guns and SMLEs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 great work. As someone else said, we REALLY need a soviet inf uniform mod. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkerner Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 sawomi, These are great! Is there any way to easily convert the files so they will work in CMSF? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sawomi Posted October 23, 2010 Author Share Posted October 23, 2010 No there isn't, because Mujahideen and Syrian Uncons have different Models. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
