I dont do Arma 3 modding anymore, have not for ages, feel free to copy the mod, make changes and repost it. Thats why i have it under ADPL-SA licence(ARMA AND DAYZ PUBLIC LICENSE SHARE ALIKE)

Here's a script you just gotta rename the generic names it's very quick and easy https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/180641-how-does-one-create-new-classes-for-genericnames/

TBH at the time of making this mod i did not know how thou that would have been very entertaining.

Why are names of the soilders Greek instead of English or Afrikaans? Still good moddels and guns though.

Not a bad idea, maby

@Jakes,

Any chance you going to use the New CDLC and the Tanks DLC items to remove the mod requirements for this mod? its the only thing that is stopping me from downloading it right now. this looks very clean!

I've been looking for a mod like this for ages, love it man you're work is amazing keep it up!

@Jakes Sleeper probably means a variant with only the uniforms and skins for the vehicles

This is 90% just uniforms, equipment and reskins - only new weapon is the shotgun and the only new vehicle is Puma chopper.
Not exactly sure what you are asking

Think you could release a variant with only the uniforms, equipment and reskins? Not looking for any new guns or launchers or vehicles

Thanks...yeah if only

If only south africa's army still looked like a millitary then THIS is what it woul look like. Nice mod

RS-16 mod is quality and at the same time realistic for sure!

yes @lemonium it's very cool and fits in perfectly with a 2035 version of the R4/R5

Hey, have you considered the RS-16 mod for this? It adds a nice new futuristic South African rifle that I think would fit pretty well.

No problem man

Couple of solid suggestions thx

You can also change up the names of your units to fit more to South Africa by using genericNames. This is defined under CfgWorlds. So, basically it would be structured sort of like this:

class CfgWorlds
{
class GenericNames
{
class SAF2035_SouthAfricanNames
{
class FirstNames
{
johannes = "Johannes"
david = "David"
john = "John"
michael = "Michael"
};
class LastNames
{
dlamini = "Dlamini"
nkosi = "Nkosi"
jacobs = "Jacobs"
govender = "Govender"
};
};
};
};

And in the soldier config, you would put: genericNames = "SAF2035_SouthAfricanNames";

Hope this helps.

This is a pretty good mod, I really love how you got creative and put the webbing in the backpack slots to use as pouches. Have you ever considered using content from Aegis/Atlas? I think the Raven helmet from that mod would look pretty nice on the SANDF troops here rather than the 'ol AAF PASGT.

Also, I suggest changing the identityTypes property for the faces so you can have the African and European faces at the same time. I noticed that you inherited from the AAF classes, which use the "Head_Greek" face pool. You change this by putting this line in the config of each soldier: identityTypes[] = {"LanguageGRE_F","Head_NATO","Head_African","G_NATO_default"};

Quick tip about the identityTypes string, you can actually add multiple voices or face pools into this. For example, if you wanted to have LangaugeGRE_F (Altian voices) and LanguageENGB_F (British voices) together, you can do identityTypes[] = {"LanguageGRE_F","LanguageENGB_F","Head_NATO","Head_African","G_NATO_default"};

Altis, just replaced NATO with your stuff and thanks.

Hells yeah go for it...Which map?

Jakes I modified a KP mission with this mod, could I publish it and can I use the SANDF flag image as the thumbnail? I will add the credits to the steam page.

@CaptainBeer ...make sure you load the cDLC my man

Hi Jakes. Great mod, but the men spawn without any primary weapons, any help, or is it something you are currently working on?

@Curvian - PM me on my Discord ill send it to you

Howzit Jakes. Is the Puma livery available separately?

Al ready done my man

A really nice mod overall! But it really needs some reorganizing. The new desert faction doesn't have any groups. Some units are missing weapons, such as the Marksman and Heavy Gunner.

@Just Ryan...join the discord to see whats coming up for the update, essentially a complete redo from groups up for the mod line. Have a look at the pinned messages in SANDF2035 chat channel

Good mod, always nice to see a decent SANDF mod for Arma 3 :D

IMHO TF47 Launchers isn't needed, the RPG would be more "realistic". The gear is all over the place, maybe re-think the loadout?

All in all i really like this, much needed. Keep up the good work :D

ja leke man :D

Lekker

oo right did not add that mod dependency ...check required mods

I get message "Addon 'SAF2035_D' requires addon 'tf47_at4'.

New DESERT FACTION added, check screenshots, rest of the factions will be updates soon along with some new additions as well.

Zeus should now be fully working with the Desert update for only, the rest of the factions will be updated soon and full Zeus functionality will be added to them as well.

I have noticed that when you play as a Zeus you are very limited to what you can spawn in for the SANDF faction. If you restart the scenario then you get a more but then the tank crewmen are AAF units. Other than that i have to applaud you for all the work that has been done thus far. It is absolutely a wonderful mod and experience.

they already have similar camo's and will have extra options..also more vehicles added

oh cool ok will do, will you be moving over the desert and arid vehicle camo's to this mod?

oo right, i wanna phase that mod out since thi is the updated version of that mod. I made it public again but i would recommend you start using this mod for future missions

Faction Mod - SANDF 2035 is no longer available for me, half my mission is now empty xD

@Moonraker - huh?

RIP SANDF 2035?

Its allowed but i want the least amount of dependencies ... besides 90% of communities use either RHS or CUP which gets a bit mundane. Besides South Africa did not develop there military alow the conventional Western or Russian lines.

Also have you considered retexturing stuff from something like the RHS mods or is that not allowed ?

Love the new woodland camo, it looks so good ! My suggestions for cool possible additions: Retexture of the vanilla nato Helmets for more variation. If possible retexturing the raven vest and adding it as a backpack since it would go well with the light vests. Signing the mod for MP.

Sure thing

Thank you for the detailed explanation.

Sad to see the Puma go, I do think the AFM is one of the best out there .

RKSL's Puma, thou it is a great model its not balances when compared to Vanilla Choppers. It handles almost better than a humming bird and its very twitchy for the size of the chopper. IMHO its handing should be slightly better than the AAF's Mohawk but less than the Ghosthhawk.

The Puma fills the medium utility helicopter role, very similar to the Mohawk/Merlin...which means SANDF has attach chopper (Commanche), mid level transport/gunshiop chopper (Hellcat) and the Mohawk (Medium -> heavy utility chopper). This leaves a very clear gap in the small recon/gunship/transport role, whiles the hummingbird/pawnee could be considered as a candidate its not ideal.
