Not much to say, other than another patches update with tons more added. This update was mainly focused around adding all the country flags, which makes up about half of the pack, with each country flag coming in 3 variants (Frame, Name, & Shield). Also adding in 4 new pbo's for the countries of Greece, Iraq, Israel, and Pakistan. The Field Manual section for this addon has been updated to include better information regarding each individual pack. Started doing some cleanup with the classnames, so as always be sure to check the ClassList if having trouble. Even though this was the biggest update so far, it still didn't quite fill all requests as I had thought. Time is wearing thin for me, so I decided to go ahead and pack what is done to at least get it released. More additions will be coming, to address some of the requests that were missed and to focus more directly on already included addon packs. The roadmap for this addon, from version 1.6 to 1.7, will be to expand further upon included modules which have been neglected since introduced. As well as upgrading many of the outdated (128x) patches to 256x. Hope you all enjoy this update, which is packed full of new morale patches for everyone, and some smaller additions to all previous categories. ORIGINAL: During the process of creating my own custom units, I came across the need for some specific unit patches. Which then turned into an entire project all in its own, as a few patches turned into a library. Seeing as how there aren't very many patch addons in the community currently, I decided to go ahead and begin adding as many patches and insignias as I possibly could to the game. Each and every patch tailored to 'near-perfection', so all would be presented in just as much quality as there is quantity. There are still tons more patches to be added, and with this first pack, I was more focused on U.S. patches, since those are the units I am currently working on. But, I do plan on adding in many more patches based off of different countries around the world. Please note, I cannot ensure the absolute accuracy of the naming of all patches in this pack. All informations have been pulled from internet resources from which the patches were obtained. If you are certain of a name which is incorrect, please do contact me and inform me of the changes and I will be sure to correct them as needed. If anyone has any requests for additional patches, feel free to ask as I don't mind adding in more. Hope you enjoy this small addition and I will try to keep updated as necessary. Thanks for the support. - Siege-A UnderSiege Productionz ==================================================================================================================== |07| SUPPORT INFORMATION |07| ==================================================================================================================== Questions should be directed to the official BIS or community forums before directly contacting via email, irc, or private message: BIS Forums - http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?181810-UnderSiege-Patches-amp-Insignias Armaholic Forums - http://www.armaholic.com/forums.php?m=posts&q=29033 ==================================================================================================================== |08| KNOWN ISSUES |08| ==================================================================================================================== - None ==================================================================================================================== |09| CREDITS |09| ==================================================================================================================== Documentation: Ballistic Addon Studios Framework Producer: Siege-A Special Thanks: - [AEF] Duck (Alot of troubleshooting and helped me get the file signatures and key working.) - Jackal326 (Helped point me in the right direction for VA fix.) - Ckrauslo (Good friend always keeping me motivated since the start.) - ZiGreen (Corrections and Russian expertise.) - Shunday (Generous donation of high-quality historic patches.) - Fingolfin (Generous donation of Iraqi and Afghani patches.)
