hey nice mod but when you will add some better skins?

It is actually IGCS compatible, as the function of displaying SG2 and SG3 are shared features between TTP and IGCS. It's just that I personally find TTP to be much more intuitive personally. As the player, you can play with either. DK2 doesn't force the required items to be enabled to play the mods. Enable UKSF mod, disable TTP once it enables by default then enable IGCS.

Hope this helps!

@Gene_Solomon to allow SupportGear 2 and SupportGear3 slots to be used and displayed, allowing operators to choose their default items that are otherwise hidden. Click "More Gear and Cosmetics" option, you'll see what I mean.

SupportGear3 is now treated as the default breaching tool, so instead of being stuck with Feet of Steel and Crowbar, you can have a trooper carry a breaching shotgun or dynamic hammer on top of his usual SupportGear1 items, so now everyone can breach properly without sacrificing their primary purpose, similar to real-life.

Essentially, with Trooper Toolbox, you have a dedicated breaching equipment slot.

Supportgear 3 -> Breaching equipment
Supportgear 2 -> IFAK & Medical
Supportgear 1 -> Skill set items

Why is trooper toolbox required? Would be great if this was compatible with both IGCS and Trooper Toolbox

@Truder enable (if haven't) Trooper Toolbox mod > Equipment > More Gear & Cosmetics > Support Gear 3

All of the selection is there.

Looks amazing, but could you add some breaching tools like haligans or battling ram or bolt cutters thanks

Good mod, it just needs more personality like different camos for different scenarios, different models and voice acting.

@Dr. Hugh Jass DFA Thanks, mate. Unfortunately not making progress as fast as I'd like as I'm learning every piece of this along the way but we'll get there!

@CharkNoRisk(N)_CharkFuRisk(Y) DK2 doesn't actually force you to keep the requirements enabled, you can disable them after you enable the UKSF mod and the game enables requirements itself.

Do let me know if it's due to an issue or simply player choice.

anychance to make a version without muzzle before flesh?

@Foobar Gotcha. Thanks for checking - Let me try and isolate what might be causing the problem.

BTW - Fantastic mod and looking forward to see where you're taking this.

@Dr. Hugh Jass DFA tested from my end. Game doesn't seem to make a fuss.

Could be a conflict caused by other mods you may have installed.

@Dr. Hugh Jass DFA Rog. I'll get you a fix around Friday. Away from home rn.

There's an error when you attach a suppressor to the FN Maximi.

"SV 182:029 - [Error] Weapon lacks the 'silencer socket' dummy:data/models/weapons/mk48.khm"

Next update:

- Revamp of all CAS item values to improve UX
- Audio queues for CAS
- New AH-6M guns & rockets strike as a default strike
- Some light weapon sounds (maybe)

- Voice acting had to be pushed to 1.0 unfortunately, as I had to learn audio work

@therealgigachadthelegend I get you, man but one step at a time.

Will be pushing a CAS revamp and some audio for it with .8 update, had to push models to .9 due to gameplay priorities.

I just gotta get some practice with modelling. I have learned the basics and I do have the tools and textures available to make uniforms, it just takes time and I want to complete the gameplay experience before visual goodies. Especially CAS as it is frankly an untested mess.

Thank you for the enthusiasm, I will give you some basic unit models soon. Cheers!

i adore this mod. All it really needs is better models. I also like how my troopers move like the flash. They got the speed force with em

figured CO would lose it, but just wanted to check. Glad to hear that you've got plans for this mod, its really well put together.

@TheCommissar I will be doing some CAS dmg revamp because honestly, system is a bit wonky and I haven't done any extensive testing.

I will push some sort of a CAS remake of sorts, tune some up, some down.

CO is supposed to lose them. FAC stuff is generally not a Troop CO thing, they have the option to do FAC school, but very rare. COs worry about giving orders, usually so they tell others to sort that stuff.

Cheers for the feedback as always!

also, not sure if it was intentional, but the CO has lost all of their call in strikes, so mortars, JDAM, AC-130s etc.

No worries, seems like JDAM strikes are bugged as well btw - it only occasionally does environmental damage, but doesnt kill anyone. On maps with a lot of walls/destroyable entities it also causes freezes/crashes, but I think this is more due to generating so much debris in one go, as on other maps it is fine.

@TheCommissar Cheers for the heads up. Pushed a fix.

Some sphagetti leftover from when I was fixing skill sets and binds. Sorry!

For some reason the L403A1 is no longer available to 1PARA, even though its selectable for all other SAS troopers

Trooper Toolbox compat update pushed. Uniforms and cosmetics are WIP. Just got into modelling, I'll see what I can do for y'all for gucci gear.

For clarification: Trooper Toolbox will be a requirement, not an optional mod, due to the re-vamp. May make it an optional later on.

@Vanta next update will introduce a fix to those problems and more, should come out in a few hours. I'll do some minor testing and push that up.

It'll introduce 2 dependency mods: Muzzle Before Flesh and Trooper Toolbox.

With Trooper Toolbox, a re-vamp for breaching tools will be introduced, all tools except explosives will go into SupportGear3. Breaching tools such as dynamic hammer, breaching shotgun and bolt cutter will be pushed there as well. Crowbar, lockpick and feet of steel will be the default options, while others will be available as alternatives to the default.

SupportGear2 (IFAK slot) will be visible as well, while SupportGear1 will be less cluttered.

SupportGear3 will be breaching tool slot, SupportGear2 will be IFAK slot, SupportGear1 will be skill set slot essentially.

Hey, any chance you could allow for reequiping the crowbar/lockpick, ifak and other support items that certain units can carry in the extra slots list?

that’s awesome dude, looking forward to it!

I even plan to do voice acting with my military buddies for CAS and character voice lines for this. It's a passion project of mine.

@BlameableOdin9 of course. It's in the roadmap in the mod description.

.8 will be placeholder model replacement and other model additions.

.9 will be audio update

1.0 will be Trooper toolbox and other mod compat update with all the fancyness I can cram in it.

My goal is by 2026, it should be done, depending on how long it takes me to learn to do all of those, as I don't want to use other people's work if I can do it myself.

love the mod man. any chance you could add uniform variety by any chance like trooper toolbox?

@therealgigachadthelegend pushed an update. Done slight revision of the doctrine to tweak things.

@heneage Sorry, mate. I know I've been fucking with the kit a bit too much for some to bear but there will be no more edits to the existing gear or the squad composition. Pinky promise. If I do, I'll compensate by making them unlocked by default.

The update I pushed a 10 mins ago is THE last when it comes to existing shit being changed. From now on, there'll only be additions, new models, animations, sounds etc.

Thanks for the update, that explains why it seemed random as most of my squad have other gear.

Oh yeah the doctrines are way too overpowered lol

the UI artwork is pretty good.

@therealgigachadthelegend believe me, I wish I could. I will reach out to the modder community soon to learn to do audio first, re-do my early janky UI artwork, then finish it with models and mod compatibility. It will reach 1.0, and when it does, it'll be as authentic as I can get it to be.

I do have the time but it's a case of learning it. It'll take a while.

This took at least 50+ hours to make as it is with all the learning I had to do. I imagine it'll take another 20-40+ for the rest.

you need to employ someone to get these weapons and gear models accurate to their icons

@heneage L129A1 has the issue, it's in my list of fixes to look at.

For fire support related ones, they aren't added in yet. May add some placeholders at some point but they're coming with the .8 update.

Just been playing this in a campaign, and had shot sounds not happening. Seemed pretty random as to whether they worked or not. I got the impression it was when my guys were shooting, but will keep an eye on it and report again.

@Strategic-Retreat smoke grenades are vanilla but I've added a slight radius increase, because frankly, vanilla smoke radius is bullshit, needs to be larger.

It's probably a case of the smoke coverage effect not matching the coded coverage radius. I'll take a look at it, see if I can fix or adjust the effect itself.

Thanks for the heads up.

Love the new artwork for the weapons and it seems like the helmet is fixed but i threw a smoke grenade in random mission generator and it made my enemies invisible (i threw it again in a direction with no enemies and the area out of smoke was affected too)

Just pushed a major update gentlemen. Let me know if you manage to break anything or got any feedback.

Update is a bit untested (time constraints, sorry!) so expect some jank.

@1like_crumpets unfortunately due to my schedule being filled to the brim, I won't be able to do much about the mod for now, at least for another month or even two.

I have some stuff ready-to-push but they aren't tested. 1.0 will probably be out by mid-Sept. I will probably include some kind of a shotgun then.

this mod is mega, is there any chance you can add shotguns for primary weapons? Maybe like the SPAS-12 or even just the vanilla shotguns, i think that they've probably been used by the SF but it would just be a really fun option so they're even more versatile (which i love btw, thanks for letting all of them have every weapon so it can be off of skills instead of given role)

i always wondered why my operators had beige helmets & i took a closer look and realized they were bald after not seeing the NVGs i equipped. How do i fix it

Hello mate, I've just found a bug with the mod of Crye AVS plate carrier, the model of the helmet will attache to the feet if I equipped my boys with it, so check them up if you are less busy, cheers mate:)

@ozzieduke64 Gotcha. Will look into it but pretty busy lately, no promises.

Had a quick go of it again. Crashed again this time much earlier in the same mission. Playing a TOD campaign using as many troops as i can deploy.Still love the mod. No other issues en counted until this TOD.

Just had a crash. Couldn't tell you why. The message just quickly flashed up and then went to front loading screen. Do not reply i am heading of foe a couple of days. Just wanted to give you a heads up.

I think this is going to become my new Favorited squad.
