i also agree with removing that, its very anoying to see a CSAT officer with a multicam balaclava
craig i noticed one other small thing maybe you can update it for the future, as i like your packs i often put them all in my (editor) missions using the provided scripts but then i first need to edit your scripts to make it work , in all your scripts you have the same name for the crate namely _crate
perhaps you can alter it by using UK pack = _crateUK / US pack = _crateUS / SP pack = _crateSP
that way people can put all the script to use in one go without needing to edit the scripts themself (some people are retards :P )
ps craig be advised your website is down (just a heads up for if you don't know ;) )

Great update. Can i ask that you please remove the script that is placing masks, goggles etc on spawned units?
Every unit gets spawned in with some random headgear
Cheers mate
i haven't put no script in mate, they are glasses, i know that 2 in 5 blue and red units spawn with goggles, civs spawn with random headgear and goggles and now balaclavas, i haven't added no script in mate, i see if i can add something in the config to stop my stuff from spawning onto units

ok sorry guys i haven't added no scripts, this was in my u.s pack forums (You can put RemoveGoggles this; in the init line to stop that from happening), i will try and do something if not i may have to remove the balaclavas and goggles just until i find something to stop it from happening, about the crates you want me to name them crateUK,crateUS,crateSP, if i miss understood please let me know the name you wish me to change to, i am sorry about this guys but i think its the game spawning itself, i have only done what i have been doing nothing different, i see what i can do, website down thanks dude

Hey man, great stuff. The US pack helmets work correctly now. Im happy that you have added Modular vest as well, but those one seem a little bit off. The black one has green stuff all over it (the green was improperly removed. IMHO you should have desaturated it. The khaki and green ones are good but they look like an untextured models, but that is just a matter of adding some color changes on belts and stuff. If you want help then send me DDS (or PSD) of modular vest texture and I will edit it for you, Im pretty handy with PS. Gray could be a darker. Im just nitpicking.
Overall: a great update.
yea those were a last half hour rush job on a Friday night lol, i only wanted to get them in and working, i will work on them in the coming weeks now, i do desaturated them mate, they do look like untextured models, i have done one in acu camo and it looks a lot better than the plain color ones, i will try my best to get them looking better

craig, a little breakdown of your script (the one spawning gear in boxes) to show what i mean.
ORIGINAL
; ****************************************************************
; HELP: Run this script from the INITIALIZATION box of the crate.
; CODE: [this] exec "UK_pack.sqs"
; ****************************************************************
; Get the crate parameter given _crate = _this select 0
; Remove the stock items from the crate clearMagazineCargo _crate
clearWeaponCargo _crate
clearitemcargo _crate
ETC. ETC. ETC. (this is also used to name the crate in the SP pack and the US pack it conflicts with each other as all crates would be named _crate
here a example to make it easy, same script only the crate name is changed from _crate --> _crateUK / _crateUS / _crate SP this way the player can initialise all scripts at the same time

Thanks for the hard work Craig!

My apologies for calling it a script. I had no idea what to call it! haha Yes if you can remove that 'feature' it would be very good! its a bit hard to see civies and nato guys running aroung in gas masks! lol
In terms of the 'removegoggels this' command
I use a custom loadout script ( i avoid using init in 2d editor as it screams ERRORS ) that involves 50 units for our unit and the problem still persists even with that command in the script
and the code works perfectly but not for your balaclava / gasmaks, they keep spawning on placed troops so they are not setup as glasses somehow.
sorry to tell but i will revert back to the 1.5 version for now (hoping for a fix very fast :P as i find it pretty annoying that my AAF car driver, who has been assigned to drive me around altis, does so with a gasmask on his face :P
(actualy its scary to see a guy like that next to you in a car :P )

Very appreciative of your hard work mate,

civs running round with a gas mask lol, i think i have fixed it, you will not need a script or removegoggels this in the editor to stop any units from respawning with my balaclava,gas mask,goggles, just tested it with 20 units on map and none of them were wearing balaclava,gas mask,goggles

craig somewhere something is not going very well with those balaclava's and gasmask
i use the following code in my mission(s) init file when i to remove NVG's from all troops on a side (i build rebel missions a lot :P)

its scary to see a guy like that next to you in a car, ahhh lol funny, i fixed it, hopefully, i don't think you will need that script to remove my balaclava,gas mask,goggles, just tested it again with 30 civs, looks ok

Glad this got reported. I had been sorting through addons after installing SP Pack 1.6, trying to figure out what was causing the conflict, until I realized it was the SP Pack itself. Had to revert to 1.5 to keep several WIP missions from going fubar.

you laugh all you want !!! But you try geting in a car at low level light and then suddenly it seems a guy with a gasmask is waiting for you
(i got trained in picking up criminals when i was with the MP and they told us when we enter a house its not the gas that frigthens them its the guys with gasmasks following )
good to hear the problem seems to be fixed looking forward to getting it up to date again
Edit: replaced the caps text Sorry about that :(

CSAT camo helmet (MK7/M88/PASGT)/tac vest or Plate Carrier/uniform/back pack in a couple versions.
Ive managed to dumb down the bug head look using the CSAT officer uniform with MK7 green helmet/Green plate carrier (massi African pack)as well as Hex Patrol cap and CSAT beret.
Its limited but a good start to something that could make a much better CSAT OPFOR.
I think you've got a great uniform set up...helmets etc. I had to mention it.

agree with both points a CSAT pack could be very useful as i dont realy like the CSAT from mars idea BIS made, so a CSAT pack with normal helmets and uniforms aswell as plate carriers and backpacks would be a very good idea :)
supergrunt lol i can believe that, its not the gas that frightens them its the guys with gas masks following, geting in a car at low level light and then suddenly it seems a guy with a gasmask is waiting for you lolol,
sorry guys, been very busy this week with work, working late, been too tied to do anything, i think its fixed anyway so i will try and get the update out in the next couple of hours, CSAT camo whats this if i may ask, i should have Colombian pack ready for friday but to be honest i am having trouble with the rolled up sleeve uniform, some reason they are duplicating the flag patches, cannot work it out as they both use the same textures, i have already done the u.s pack with rolled up sleeves but will not release it until i can work out why its happening, thanks for you comments
