Great Mod whukid I had SABoW on the backburner for a couple of weekends while I messed around with GPL. I usually don't have time during the week to fiddle much with simulators, so when this weekend finally arrived I was all geared up to try out your mod and the wait was worth it Now the only problem is it's my last day off and I'll have to wait till next weekend to play again

Wow! Thanks! All feedback is welcome; it certainly isn't a perfect mod :P

Totally sweet!

Looking at your Graviteam forum pic of the centurion: is the SA Oliphant tank in real life a modified British Centurion tank?

Cheers!

Skimbo

Yes. Old centurian upgraded with Israel's assistance. If memory serves, major overhaul of engine/transmission/suspension with major upgrades to fire controls. Ie...a laser range finder. However in Angola the oliphants really did not do as well as they should have against the Cuban/Angola forces. My guess is the nature of the terrain. A laser range finder is not really gonna help you out when a heck of alot of the fighting is at in your face range.

Cheers Burny!

Just so everyone knows, IDF MOD 2.0 work has begun with a bang! Check the Graviteam site for details

Your computer exploded?

Meh. It's getting to that point :P

Looking very very nice... Thx a mil. Good work.

New IDF and Egyptian uniforms

Breached 200 downloads today Thanks Sim HQ community!

I'm so looking forward to IDF 2.0, first the repaints for SFK42 and the new IDF 2.0 coming soon, WOW

2.0 is still awhile off. A bunch of things still need to be completed, such as the import of vehicles like the m48 and Centurion with sideskirts and then a bunch of editing to those config files, not to mention the addition of Jordan, the PLO, and of course, missions. It's definitely not going to be done by the next patch

BATTLE FOR THE GOLAN
Some screenshots, to keep everyone interested
IMPROVEMENTS:
-Black stock for FN FAL
-New Desert Skins for IDF tanks


I call this scenario "Fight for the Golan, Part 2: Invasion of Syria" and it goes as follows;
-An understrength company of Centurions, supplemented with an M60 platoon, is ordered to push into Syria following the initial fight for the Golan. Supported by a Mechanized company, they fight to take control of Al Qunaitra and open the push to Damascus.

The first three are the only shots taken in combat. The rest are after the Syrians retreated







(this one's for Flashburn)





(this one too)


Towards the sounds of Chaos


Knocked out outside of Al Qunaitra


These poor bastards got ran over.. by me. You can see the knocked out M60 in the background


Well, I hope you liked my little show Stick around for future updates!

We Bring Gifts!

People's Liberation Army Update
the Mujaheddin replaced by a much meaner, leaner enemy. Sporting FN_FAL's and AK-47's, they are a force to be reckoned with. Them damn RPG's are a pain in the ass

In the future, I'll try to add a PLO version sporting a Sweatshirt and jeans, but for now I think that should suffice

UPDATE

I need beta testers for version 1.75 via PM. Only those with knowledge of Syrian, Egyptian, and Israeli camouflage in the early 70's need apply

Thanks!

Some screenshots for everybody

Hello

I cannot install this mod. After the update cannot see it listed. I have installed the required patch 577, March 2012 update 2 and FlashBurn's Mod v1.5.

Hmm. This seems to be a much more common problem than I perceived


Try putting this in your "Whukid's IDF Mod v1.5/CORE" folder and overwrite the previous version;

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?wv5jb3axyfbbjvj

Now works fine. Thanks for quick response

Okay guys, 1.76 should be released within the next few days or so, tonight if I can help it. The only things left to do are fix the IDF M60 and Centurion tanks to have more HEAT shells and no SABOT shells, since the IDF favored their HESH rounds over SABOT rounds and add the IDF Armored insignia's to the mix. Hopefully I can figure out how to put all of the IDF armored insignia's separate from the other insignia's. These are a few pictures of what I hope to accomplish by doing so;

Since I can't figure out how to import vehicles successfully, I'll release this in the time being so you guys can enjoy it

-Flashburn (Helmet, G3a3, loads of help and advice)
-Kyth (an ungodly amount of advice)


Thanks everyone for your efforts. Enjoy the mod!

Don't see why it would not be V1.9 mini mod beta compatable... So long as it is at top of updater list. We should find out.

Crap i will have to DL later............crap tastic satelite interweb.

I get trees and cougars in the back yard.....cow and horse poop but have to give up good internet where I am currently at. so sad.

Well, it's not really that there would be like an imminent CTD, but the G3a3's and all those goodies wouldn't exactly match :P

I'm not sure though, I invite the community to try it

If your mod is on top.......it SHOULD over right my defaults for Iran. or visa versa. There may be some funny stuff and it could crash out. But I do not think it will. But hopefully test later.

So how does everybody like it? I'm going to wait until after the next Graviteam update before beginning to add anything else, like markings and vehicles.

Adding the Insignia's to the marks0 file didn't work. I might have to create a whole new thing Updates still to come!

Progress. Not alot, but still progress.

Version 1.76 patch = http://www.mediafire.com/?b3ke1ql258c118g

Very nice work mate.

Any missions in the works for these units yet?

Version 2.0 is not far off?

Version two is in a perpetual wait, unfortunately. I'm waiting for graviteam's August patch to get completely released before updating it again.

As for missions, nope Anyone who can figure out the mission editor is welcome to make and release missions for the IDF mod!

August patch has been released already about three weeks ago.

What's with the mission editor? Maybe I can explain something.

Really?! I thought it was still in beta! whoops.

As for the mission editor, I can't quite figure out how to get my platoons to show up after I write them into the div_units file (I think that's the one with the platoons; it's been awhile)

The patch is called beta, only because it's unofficial (dumb publishers and such), in fact, you can think of it as a release.

You should try the mission editor from the new patch. I forgot to say, it got a bit easier system: spreadsheets instead of text files.

Ehh where do you access these spreadsheets? From what I can see, there's no change.

docs\modwork\editors\new_operation.cmd will create the campaign files, spreadsheets will be in <path-to-campaign-files>\SRC. There are three of them: <campaign-name>.ods (main description), <campaign-name>_div_pool.ods (units description), <campaign-name>_text.ods (texts, briefings, etc.).

the .ods' are spreadsheets? (How do you open them, and with what?!)


This is all so new.. and fairly cool.

OpenOffice, LibreOffice, maybe MS Office can open them too. Although, docs\modwork\opeditor.pdf recommends LibreOffice.

Awesome! this makes life alot easier
