Or koevoet?

Ah ok

SWATF, Koevoet, 32 Battalion, 61 Mech and so on

Cause the casspir wasnt by sadf in the bush war

I know

Yes cool

Ratels and buffels baby

Cant wait

😉 same here... I wish it was done already. I wish I was far better at modding and modeling than I am at the moment

if you can you should add the ability to tie dead swapo onto the casspir wheel wells

But we all start from somewhere

One day my man

@Bartender come man

( i know its not posible lol)

Eh Bartender I'll keep that stuff out 😱

Be civil please

Though I will include damage when driving over enemies

As it was a tactic used...

i am civil, i cant help it that the guys actually did do that

Driving over friendlies will remain as it is now otherwise I can imagine a lot of griefing going on.

Yeah lol

especially when i drive and the commander is being retarded..

or the squad leader

Shit man one thing I'm really hating about blender 2.8 is they removed background images

So modeling over blueprints is a huge pain in the arse now...

Since you have to add planes or empties and assign the blueprint to them... agh what the hell were they thinking...

@Springbok Alternatives
1. Either use them as Empties like you could before, if you are using them as reference images to model over. This allows for great control of size, positioning and display options.

2. Use them in the newly added Camera Background feature, if you are aligning a camera to an existing photo, matching perspectives, for later compositing a 3D scene over existing footage.

3. Import them as planes using the Import Images as Planes addon like in previous versions

Old method

New method... Don't like this

I'm trying to get started on the Samil 100 but struggling with the blueprints... I really, really miss the 2.79 background image feature

How about option 2?

I'll try that now

PS. you are using 2.8.1 right?

No 2.8

2.8.1 is latest

Ah alright on the Blender website on the mainpage it had the download for 2.8

2.80

Installer still sys 2.80

Neve mind. 2.8.1 is next beta. Sorry

https://www.blender.org/download/releases/2-81/

No worries

I think what I may do is move back to 2.79 for modeling

2.8 for rendering...

2.8 is much much much better. Stick with it, you won't look back

You have to do it at some point anyway

I know. I'm loving it already except for the lack of the background image feature

I can't even model properly without that feature. It's paramount to how I work

Why they removed that feature is beyond me. It was far simpler in the old blender and you didn't have the blueprints cluttering the workspace like they do now.

I add my references into a collection called "References" and just turn that on and off as needed, but each to his own. You do what works for you.

I think I'm getting the hang of it but it's so much more work than it was before

Takes a lot longer setting up blueprints

Okay set up the blueprints for the Samil 100

Got the hang of it now. But I must say I still prefer the old method

It was far quicker and less actions to do

@PetraCephas Do you know how to lower the opacity of the blueprint images like you could in 2.79? The white background is quite glaring. Anyway I've finally got a basic block out of the Samil 100. I'll do the soft skin variant first and then the Kwevoel

I don't have that red button for some reason.

You are going shift-A and then add reference image right?

Ja

Or it was background image

not sure which one

Strange

Agh I'll figure it out soon. I wish Blender had been like this all along. It's painful having to completely relearn Blender 😰

Welp that's it for now. Going to take a break as my mind is fried 😉

I'll stick with 1.8 I just hope it gets easier sooner rather than later!

I also have to re-setup the blueprints for the Ratel, Eland, Casspir, Y2 MGL, Vektor R4 and more... Since all of them have lost their blueprint setups due to the switch to 1.8

eish.. maybe you should go back to using the previous version man..

No the new blender is way better @Springbok just have to get use to it

Nah 1.8 is better it's just I have to get used to it. And it's best I start now than later otherwise it's just kicking the can down the road @Bartender

ah okay i see

Howzit @Gideon

Welcome to the server

Hello hello 🙌🏻

Love squad and can't wait for your mod boys <:SABWIcon:555822341947392011> goodluck

Thanks man, going to need all of that good luck wherever I can find it 😉

found them in a paratus magazine

@Springbok

Sweet thanks for sharing

Just hopping into Squad at the moment

noice

The power of photoshop

What changed

Lets see how keen your eyes are. Guess how many parts have changed.

Do you play SQUAD Colonel?

If you do then you'll be able to spot all the differences

I do not, I've heard it's a multiplayer game and my internet isn't that great.

I see you've added some text and changed the top right icon thing

The blood is photoshopped

The sleeve has marpat which isn't in the game

The letters on the top right - Jolan District

a place in Fallujah

So what exactly was the goal here? Still looks like a dead terr.

Fallujah is coming to SQUAD and we're all eager for it since it's a huge city and the level of detail is supposed to set the standard far higher than all the other maps made to date in SQUAD.

The goal is basically begging for OWI to send some more "leeks"

Wow, that sounds really cool. Now we just need the Joburg slums or a Brazilian Favela.

Well neither the SANDF or Brazilian army are in Squad so those maps wouldn't make sense 😉 as for the SANDF hopefully I can bring them in the near future.

I'd prefer the SADF if I'm being honest. Sorry but I just can't stand S2000.

Well the SADF will be coming with the Border War mod

S2000 grows on you trust me

I hated it too at first

https://i.redd.it/nyf44k4pl0j31.jpg

Now tell me that's ugly

Do you do airsoft or is that a random picture you found?

And yeah it looks better there.

I have played airsoft and paintball. And never pass up the opportunity to play whenever it arises.

Sadly no that is not a picture of me. I don't have anything in S2000. Only browns and the pattern 83 stuff.

Hey, nothing wrong with that!

S2000 is incredibly hard to get ahold of and it's illegal for South African civilians to own and wear.

Still putting funds towards my South Africa nutria retrieval trip.
Huh, I think a similar law exists in Canada. It's stupid there but you never know when people might impersonate the SANDF.

The guy in the picture got his off Ebay. He's an Englishman so no he has no risk of having the S2000 uniform "expropriated" from him.

True that's why the law exists. As robbers already impersonate the police with uniforms and stolen cop cars.

Would make the SANDF look even worse if we had robbers wearing SANDF military attire and hijacking people.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwiKe-ZVOdo great vid showing off SQUAD's gameplay

It looks really cool, maybe when I move in a few years my internet will be good enough to play it. Of course by then most folks will have moved on to other games.

Depends when you make that move.

SQUAD is likely to have a very long life especially with modding involved

akin to the ARMA series. SQUAD is a descendant of Project Reality and that game has been around since 2005

Though SQUAD has stolen many of its players as SQUAD is pretty much PR2 with some differences

What is the main difference between ArmA 3 and SQUAD? Been looking at either buying Squad or getting the ArmA 3 cold war dlc.

Honestly I'd go for SQUAD if I were you. I own both, I've been a diehard fan of ARMA since Operation Flashpoint CWC 2001. But I'm not a fan of ARMA III.

There are major differences. ARMA is both SP and MP but it's clunky and getting the same combat fix that you can easily get in SQUAD is very difficult in ARMA especially in a multiplayer scenario

But in the end it is your choice. But if I were you I'd go for SQUAD. It goes on sale often by the way so keep an eye out if you want to get it then.

I didn't know that, thanks! Yeah, the one problem I had with ArmA 3 is that a lot of the singleplayer missions are super clunky, and you can easily fail the mission early on when a squad lead dies and everything breaks, but of course they never tell you that.

SQUAD also has its own problems though too. If you have a bad squad leader you may end up being slaughtered worse than the Russians at Stalingrad. Which is no fun but everyone has to lose at some point.

SQUAD heavily relies on players working together. The team that has the most teamworking squads wins the match usually. It's really fun when both teams are evenly matched in skill then it becomes a pitched battle to exhaustion for both sides.

Just get Squad @Colonel Clint you won't regret it.

I need to get more ram so that i can run it properly

How much do you have currently?

8gigs

But its two 4gig dimms

So dual channel

ddr3?

Ddr4 2600

Ah alright. as for GPU and CPU?

Uhm i have a i5 6800 and a gtx 1060 3gb

I was running it on an i7 2600k and gtx 580 3gb til I got my new pc. I know that pain 😉

Yup

You in Joburg?

negative, cape town

i wish i was in joburg because PC components are cheaper there

Ja that's why I asked.

Though me being in Europe now buying stuff on Amazon is easy as pie. I bought all my PC parts and case on amazon

nah unfortunately im in capetown.. where one 8gb dimm is almost R1000

Still cost me a whack but it runs everything I want it to run and well

@Bartender wootware

Check on wootware

Cost me far more buying it through the UK though than if I had bought it locally like my browns.

Hey Stevo, where can I send the pics of the vehicles for you

In references is fine. Thanks Skaven 👍

@Kooijpolloi I think I finally found out what that palm tree insignia is. It belongs to 53 SAI.

@Springbok ill look into it

https://youtu.be/mZpjk_QWpac

I have that full doc

im saving up to buy it

its about R90

It's an okay documentary. Had some new interviews, even one with Jannie Geldenhuys. Who sadly passed away last year.

would you recommend buying it

I already bought it last year

have it somewhere on my PC. Just need to find it

Voila found it

im considering it as a birthday gift for my dad

Currently streaming my modeling session if you guys want to hop in and watch

yes , show link , please

twitch?

Nope was on discord hang on

Should be able to view now?

no, generally show on direct by side your name i believe, but dont see nothing...

Weird

Ok I'll call you directly so you can watch

@Kooijpolloi Do you know whether the hull of the Casspir changed slightly from the Mk I to the Mk II? Since I am seeing inconsistencies between the hulls in my reference images

Anyone know what "anthem" the Border War had? Like the Vietnam War had Fortunate Son - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ec0XKhAHR5I

@Springbok nope I dont know sorry man

@Kooijpolloi no problem

I cam ask my dad ? @Springbok

So according to my dad it was pink floyds brick in the wall

i got the R4 in ghost recon wildlands, and yes it is the R4 its on the stat card

Can't really see whether the R4 specific parts are on the model or not. @Bartender

The R4 has a flange on the gas tube that the Galil does not have

The front sight hood is larger as well.

its heavily modified in game already

this needs to be added in squad

as a poster somewere

When you go for a Safari in a minefield

HAHAHAHA looks so weird and funny

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sIYe74sczE

That's all I could think about when I saw what they did to that poor Buffel

Shit better than leaving it to rust imo

@Kooijpolloi true though if that Buffel could speak I wonder what stories it could tell.

shame

its a sad pic

the green paint doesnt suit it

Kooi is right though it's better it is still used than the others that are rusting away in mechanical graveyards
