JTF-2

sweet, thanks for the texture ReconSnake. i'll put it on the next version. @Recon, did you say you wanted the nomex gloves that go up the elbow or not? on ver2 (the pics i just sent you) the gloves are only normal nomex gloves. PS, e-mails sent to ruin and recon with pics of ver2.

ok, i've done a second draft now. i'll e-mail you both the pics later today (around 5:00pm my time) so one of you can post them here. WHAT's CHANGED: -i darkened up the vest and i think it looks a LOT better now, more black. -i took off the harness 'cause it makes the skin look to "crowded" i can put it back on of if you like ReconSnake. -i managed to take out the long golves and put in a decent looking sleve but it still needs a bit of tweaking. WHAT's LEFT TO DO: -Ruin, i'm having a hard time making the background colour lighter becuase i didn't use the wrinkles-and-a-base-colour

ty guys. i'll try and make those changes. PS, The face texture on the bottom shot is one of the specialists from IDF (1.3 i think). and since this is about Force Recon, i heard they had a role in that POW rescue a week ago. this is what a Canadian newspaper said: they (one of the news organizations) talked to some of the men. apparently thier job was to make a lot of noise to create a diversion. here is the picture that went along with a different story, do you think they are FR?

ok ruin, i sent of the pics. have a look, make suggestions. any input is welcome. ReconSnake: check your e-mail again.

lice...

ok, sorry guys. i can't post the image (i can't log into my website, explorer says it "illigal") anyway, i'm sending the images over to your e-mail ReconSnake. maybe you can post the images. -EDIT- images sent ABOUT THE SKIN: -used the pilot flight suit from GR and tweaked it a little -vest is from the pictures -harnesses from Bajabravo -model (temporary) from NMM2 -belt on vest from Raven Shield... -the only thing i don't like is the long gloves from the pilot skin that go further up the arm. i could chance this but i'm not sure how good it would look... -i'm going to make the

ok, i just finished making the skin. i'll post some images as soon as i get a chance. @Ruin, what model was it? that was i can make the skin speicifically for that model. (now it's on NMM delta model so it has a helmet, not balaclave) ReconSnake: what other kind of stuff do you want on it? now it's got a full harness and pistol holster etc.... PS: what are the rules about using others textures? for instance i think the harness i'm using is BajaBravo's. do i have to ask permission for such a small thing? or am i ok? i'm just asking now so i can change it if need be.

sure, i'll give it a go. i've done a lot of my own skins. i've already got one kinda like that. i'll do a trial skin on the Delta model from NMM2. i'll post the results there and you can tell me what you think. *remember: just say no if you don't want to use them it'll be no big deal*

THANK YOU!!!!!!! you've been such a big help and, unknowingly, taught be almost everything i know about modeling...i know you're REALLY busy now, and you still took the time to answer my questions. ty for all that info about the bipods, this has cleared up everything. i'll post a render of the finished product so you can see later.

incoming!

sweet! thanks for the tip havok! i'm singning up as i speak *shudders*, oh well, it's for the leafs in the long run... anyway, so where should i drop of my first born then?

WOW! thanks Earl, that means a lot especially coming from you. thanks Also, again those models are amazing. doesn't really need to be said any more though. @ReconSnake, ya no worries buddy. it was just an offer. PS: Earl, how do you make those bipods? what technique do you use? and can you post or e-mail me the ref pics you use for them (matthewbubbers@canoemail.com). i've been tyring for soooo long and mine still look like ######!

check out the pinned thread in "Real World Military" called "special forces movies" or something like that...it's got lot's of great war movies if your not sure what to rent...

hey, there's always that outside chance the leafs could win.... and even if they don't, could they make it to the finals? , game three tommorow night in Toronto...anybody got tickets they wanna share??? BTW, nice joke Havok.... GO LEAFS GO

was i the one who offered?? anyway, you can have mine if you like, just PM me your e-mail this is the m40a3 (it's high polly and still untextured)..(PS, can you see these, or do you have to copy and paste the URL?)

this is shaping up to be a really GREAT all round mod! keep up the excellent work Marcinko

ohhhh (the link doesn't work) but i know what your talking about. thanks!

what does AFG stand for? and what's a pakol? (a backpack?) but that looks sweet! i can't wait for the mod

umm, i'm not sure about that. i'll check. you might not be able to if it's not an attachment.... check your e-mail again...

ok, so i got that file and installed it. now i have 2 .rsb plugins: RSB.8bi and RSBBitmap.8bi both in the "plugins\file formats" folder. but i still can't open SOME of the .rsb's. it seems i can open the older ones but not the newer ones...i can't open any of the skins from the USMC MEU mod for example. is there anything i can do? do i need the plugins off the IT cd? (i don't have IT) PS, i'm using Photo Shop 6. does that make a difference?

i think you might have them marked as "read only". to change this right click on the file and go down to the bottom of the menu and select properties. uncheck the box that says "read only". (if there is any other boxes checked, uncheck them too) then you should be able to do it. if that doesn't work i don't know what could be wrong... anyway, remember that what i wrote about combining mods is kinda like a crash course...just a basic guideline. PS, i e-mailed you back...

who?

thanks for the info ReconSnake. the mod sounds great! what other weaps are you going to put into the mod? (sorry, i don't know what Force Recon would normally use) good luck with the mod.

sweet! it worked! thanks for the help Pave Low.

! i want it NOW! dude that's sweet. and did you say a force recon mod? what do you plan on including in your mod? is it a TC? i can't see from the render, but did you/are you going to texture the top of the rilfe (butstock)? PS i really like the scope! nice texture job.
