great modder! +

Sorry for not getting back.
Typically use Cinematic Depth of Field, one of the bloom ones not sure exactly, ambient light, and some film grain

Hey man!
I've just discovered your mods on Workshop AND THEY LOOK GREAT!
Which reshade presest are you using for taking your screenshots?
Thanks for any feedback!

I'm willing to discuss the specifics at some point, the link to my modding discord is on my profile, you can dm me from there.

Generally speaking I feel that retexture work is too simple for me to justify charging a lot, but because it doesn't feel right charging a lot, its often not worth my time. So just a forewarning.

Hey Anthrax! It's been awhile, I'm not sure if this is how I should present this question but I just wanted to know. Is it possible you're willing to do a faction commission? It'd be re-texturing RHS gear you're probably already familiar with. It'd be a simple faction and if possible, vehicle re-texturing as well. Just wanted to know and if you want to further discuss on Discord, I can provide my user. Thank you!

Also the reason I suggested the ballistic protection is because for the vests giving me issues, their ballistic protection is all the way up, but the counter-partisan units get damaged in their torso region when shot and looking at the vests they use, their specific vests don't have ballistic protection all the way up unlike the ones the CDF units use.

By load order, you mean in the arma3 launcher right? If so, I put CDF-GDSL after the Ace compats and nothing changed in game sadly.

Honestly not sure whats going on, just checked the code and they're inheriting the armour values from their RHS equivalent classes directly. None of thats been altered. So it might have something to do with load order? Try and see if you can load the mod *after* any compats.

oh and to add, when viewing the vests their ballistic protection is all the way up, could that be a reason?

I'll post the classnames, I'm using Ace and the Ace compats for the RHS mods when testing. It's all your custom vests except the ones worn by counter-partisan units, so only the CDF units.
acm_cdf_r_vest_mbav_empty
acm_cdf_r_vest_mbav_grenadier
acm_cdf_r_vest_mbav_light
acm_cdf_r_vest_mbav_medic
acm_cdf_r_vest_mbav_rifleman
acm_cdf_r_vest_spc_corps
acm_cdf_r_vest_spc_empty
acm_cdf_r_vest_spc_light
acm_cdf_r_vest_spc_mg
acm_cdf_r_vest_spc_rifleman
acm_cdf_r_vest_spc_squadleader
acm_cdf_r_vest_spc_teamlead
Basically anything that's a rifle or pistol, so small caliber rounds, never damage the torso region, only bruises it no matter how many rounds you put into their torso (when they're wearing one of those vests above with ace active)

Can you detail which vests specifically? classnames would be appreciated because currently you're the only person to have reported this issue.

I know you're on hiatus right now from modding, and I hope it's alright to just say this here as we already have a convo about it at the very least but it's your custom vests that don't let anyone wearing them get damaged (could it be an incompatibility with ace and your vests?). If I take your custom vests off of units, their torso can actually take damage again (your custom outfits work fine with damage values and what not).

Currently on hiatus for a big period of time. Discord was reopened just forgot to mention that in my bio.

Regarding the bug. Trying to remove armour values from the granit suits introduced a variety of issues, so the decision was made to keep the armour value and have those guys be tanky af. I havent modified the protection values of the vests or helmets IIRC though, so you might want to look at your ACE compats for RHS.

and I saw that you only accept bug reports on discord but your profile description says that your discord is locked for the time being

Hey Anthrax sorry for messaging here but your mod, CDF GDSL has it's comments turned off, but anyways the troops in the mod (I assume using Ace is what causes it) are pretty much invincible in the Torso region due to their vests I assume, I love the mod but it's hard to use the troops when you have to make sure to hit their heads to actually down them.

Making your own templates is a complicated process that involves manually and carefully cutting out what you want to preserve, then playing arouind with the _nohq, _as, and so on textures to get a result that looks good. I'd say search for community templates for RHS and/or vanilla stuff first to get a feel for that sort of stuff.

Hey thanks for the help! Along with your help as well from the discord, I managed to locate the texture files, and proper software's needed to start re texturing. Reached out to a RHS member and just asked him a couple of questions before I went in my way of starting my small project. I do want to ask another thing, and sorry for bothering you, did you take a texture file and slap on any camoflauge you liked? I watched a tutorial and I noticed the person who made it had already had some sort of 'template' where you sort of have different layers. Not sure if that's really needed, I'll ask the same question on the discord, but since you've got your experience (re texturing RHS gear), I was wondering if a template is really needed or you can just cover it with whatever camouflage you like. If you want to talk on Discord and we can have a small chat to fill these small questions it'd be helpful, up to you though. But thanks again!

In arma you can "inherit" all the details and use the existing models from other mods so long as they're also loaded. So you dont need to (and legally cant) take any random model and reuse them, instead you just reference their directories if you want to use their models and textures in a new class. I use photoshop for my retextures. Lastly it really depends on the mod author, i might be open to commissions when i'm set up but it also depends on If i feel like it.

Hello! I'm new to the Arma 3 modding community and I actually was inspired by the CDF-GSFL mod you made. Just a couple of pointer questions. How did you manage to use the models/gear from RHS? Did you need permission or did you just simply get the models (freely obtained/or by another way) and mention them? Or did you pay for use of their models. Second, like all re textures for most of the uniforms with other mods, did you use the 'mostly' used software's to do this? For ex: (gimp/pbo/other photo editor software's/etc). Last question and this is just in general, do modders like yourself and maybe others are open for commissions? (Depending on what their available to do for them) or is that just simply not a thing really. Thank you!

For the sake of bug reports il reunlock the discord.

Howdy, Id like to post a bug report but with the discord being locked this is (afaik) only way to submit, its quite lenghty so I dont really want to post it in here, any way to get in touch with you on this matter?

appreciate it, great work on the mod btw been using it on our group's alive server and everyone really likes it

should be corrected next update

All good, the bug that we had found was the gorka uniforms that the cdf units have were giving players and units god mode

Sorry about that. Recently locked my discord as I've got major life stuff coming up that precludes modding atm. I'll try and get any bug fixes out before the new year though.

Hey man been trying to join your discord to report a bug for your CDF mod, but the link is not working and I cannot join

just wanted to say love your mods man!

+rep I wish you great success, my dear friend, in your development

+rep he poops

mmm cheese

+rep boss

THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST EVER

nice mods (^w^)

Tysm for all the awesome mods ^^

You can contact me on the discord links on my steam workshop mod pages (the more recent ones at least). As a rule i dont do that stuff on steam.

Added for question about mod

Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi

🙏

I just want to thank you for the good Arma 3 Mods

Oh I was definitely leaning towards dependency, at least for first release, I will only upload the new Antistasi Version with the new faction included (since Antistasi doesn't allow plug and play factions like you did with "90s AAF Vindicta"). SO I assume I have the ok, and many thanks :)

If the changes to AAF 90's are sufficient enough to truly call it your own then you can publish the full package as long as i get credit, otherwise please use the mod as a dependency.

Hey hello, I am importing your AAF 90s mod to Antistasi PLUS, and maybe I will do some changes in the future (textures and such) and republish the Antistasi Faction (with requirement your mos), is this ok with you ?

Whats your current project in CiA?

your profile pic is off center

why? If you need to contact me, i have discord links available on my workshop pages if its related to that.

Hello mate, can u add me please ?

Man, i wish i could make factions and textures
I know how to, but i just can't

Oh ok awesome, that's sweet dude!

Im in the process of making Vespaccia and Nagansk, as always no deadlines.

Is Vespaccia actually going to a faction in the future or is it just lore based? If it's the first then that's pretty dope, the latter is okay too lol. Great mod btw some of the most creative stuff I've seen on the workshop in a while.
