Okay, I promise this'll be my last comment.

class CfgFactionClasses
{
class US_2027_MCA
{
displayName="US Army 2027 (Arctic)";
side = 1; <this is the addition which fixes finding these factions in REFOR>
};
class US_2027_OCP
{
displayName="US Army 2027";
side = 1;
};
class US_2027_MCT
{
displayName="US Army 2027 (Tropic)";
side = 1;
};
};

When you unpack the mods US_2027.pbo file and find the config file inside the units folder, and then find this section, adding "side = 1;" under displayName="US Army 2027", this fixes the faction side issue, I'm guessing without an entry it will place the faction by default into REDFOR, which was the original problem.

Anyway, love the work in this mod. Thanks

I'm working on editing the pbo, and I'll let you know if it is a fix.

Thanks for getting back to me, I think I located the problem for the 2027 mod, that the CfgFactionClasses only provides the display name but requires a side = 1 column to inform that the faction falls under the BLUFOR Category. I hope this information gives you a shortcut at least.

the issue isn't something you specifically can fix. its an issue at the core level of the faction that for whatever reason is causing it to show as OPFOR when I have set to BLUFOR. It's something I have to fix on my end to correct.

I feel bad for bothering you again, but yes the 2027 mod version does load in, but when I load OPCOM mod, the 2027 faction is listed in the OPFOR list. I'm not having luck figuring out how to edit something so it goes under BLUFOR. I need to do this because it creates friendly fire bugs.

the other version of this should work. i did make that one through ALIVE so it would properly utilized. I need to finalize some issues with the W28: KAOS mod first before I include it as a dependency and add in the new faction variants.

Regardless, I'm looking forward to the Faction stuff being hashed out. Thanks.

Sorry, I should have written this on the 2027 US Army mod.

Its not a simple fix you can do. its entirely an issue on my end

@Keter i need to go through and update this. Currently the faction was not made properly due to some issues. I intend to fix that soon enough and include new version of the units to have Woodland, Tropical, and Arctic camouflage as well.

I do have a follow up question, isn't it possible to replace the default NATO faction and it's contents with a mod faction's contents? Just looking at ways I could fix this OPCOM issue.

I used this with OPCOM and it placed this faction in 'EAST', I'm trying to figure out how to edit this because I can't use it to play against EAST [typical OPFOR factions] without causing bugs in my scenario because the US Army faction is also in the EAST side. I don't have much modding experience so I'd like a pointer as to why this is happenning.

I'm not sure to be honest. I don't play antistasi so I can't confirm

is this compatible with antistasi?

not currently, i would like to make that happen again though. I have to go in and fix the configs to prevent the ALIVE loadout manager from overriding the randomizer

does the helmets randomise

i don't really have a patreon just due to how the EULA works with BI and the mod devs out there. I'd rather avoid the headache.

I'm more ecstatic to hear you enjoying it. Keep your eyes out for an upcoming retexture modpack i'm working on. It's going to be a continuation of my S&S KAOS mod but with 43 different camos for the W28 and W35 mods. I'm also going to look at setting up actual factions for the different camos, but only select ones since the intent of KAOS is to provide a westernized OPFOR or Mercenary set or training factions

just came across this mod and its def one of my favs i love it keep up the great work! also is there a patreon that we can support?

why army 2020 use black PEQ?

@Nightwolf2112 Sounds amazing man, can't wait!

@Fedrix Thank you mate! I really try to make content that I believe will do the best to help you all with your missions and stories, but also to have fun so I really appreciate the support.

I do have to say that I am looking into a set of retextures that might be included in this mod that will give this the ability to have more options for operations. This would include Arctic, Tropical, Woodland, and Black Ops camouflage based on the OCP.

Once college is over with i'll be doing some experimenting with retextures but if things work out well enough I'll see if can include them in here for you guys to enjoy as well.

Its great to see you are back man, this one is one of the greatest modern US mods ever

welcome mate. i knew of the issue with the autorifleman and spec ops a while back but never got to fixing them until tonight. do let me know if you find any other issues

It update! This is one of the best US Army mod for me.

Project Sentinel will most likely be updated with a streamlined US Army faction.

Since this mod is Deprecated, will you (kfclover) work on a new Army mod? Or just have this be the US Army mod for 2nd Cold War?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

unfortunately, the mod author for this mod has retired from modding, so no more updates im afraid.

can you add OCP IHWCU Color U.S Flag patch?

this bouta be present day in a couple days oml we living in the cod blackops timeline

correct. i just haven't gone through to correct the description. please reference the required items on the side

So, this doesn't use Aegis and JCA anymore? Description doesn't seem to match the dependency list.

Oh okay. mod is still very playable but i have noticed some other squads with 1 missing guy aswell

sounds like a bug. i'll try and get it fixed but i'm in the process of gearing up for finals with 3 active student film productions so this is a back burner item for me at the moment.

for the 2020 army, the infantry fireteam is missing an lmg gunner, so they only have 3 members. is that intentional or no? I have all dependencies loaded.

@elpedrochicoraulalfonsotejada No i don't have any plans for a Lite version

@RaveTree

i hate you guys... im gonna have to buy a hard drive just to play this game

Will there be a lite version that just uses W28, RHS and the NGSW weapons?

that can definitely be arranged. i might have some time here soon to allow me to update this mod

could you add this to the mod

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3355618886

not in this rendition of the mod. there is another version which uses the NGWS

is the XM7 in their loadouts?

yeah IHPS and cover with M4 i feel is much more realistic when it comes to the faction

Maybe u can make some units with IHPS helmets but carrying m4 rifles as US army unit during 2023~2024 some unit such as scout,may use m7 spear with xm157

That's good to hear, no problem

I'm waiting for a different set of mods as the one you have linked is filled with bugs and hasn't been updated since Nov of last year. There's a guy named Kastra, I think, who has been slowly bringing several items of the NGSW program to the workshop and I'm just waiting for him to finish the weapons and put it all into one pack so i can use it

Also, for NGSW you can use this mod https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3100490558 . NGA "Next Generation Armory", it has the XM250 as well.

I see, for the meanwhile wont regular M4s & ACH helmets be fine? It's well within the 2020 time period.

@fortheiy12 That's an issue with ALiVE when i remade the faction. ALiVE does not like using subeditorcategories and instead just inherits from the base class subeditorcategory. I could go in and see if i manually changed it if it would work but then i'd be concerned if ALiVE will be able to view the faction as usable

@elpe, I'm waiting for a modpack to come out that has better versions of the NGSW from someone who also has the IHAPS and IVAS systems. I plan to use them instead of Aegis because of all the hate people seem to have for it and the CDLC. Im just not sure when that will be available. I'm also just starting the next semester of college so this isn't a priority item for me so a RHS conversion will probably be a bit of a wait.

Will you make a version that uses RHS weapons instead of Aegis?
