Did you see the new modding resource posted in the OWB DIscord? It tells you how to update custom models to 2.0.

@wtchappel This mod in particular is designed to highlight the Rangers as a special faction with a unique infantry appearance, mostly so that they look cool, and appear visually distinct from the NCR and other factions they fight alongside. If at all possible, this mod will restore that visual distinction when it figures out how to.

Within the canon lore, the Desert Rangers are a part of the NCR that specifically utilizes this armor alone, for all we know. The NCR themselves also utilize this specific armor as well (although they also have a different mass produced model, as well), and other factions may as well, in capacities that fit what you could find in prewar riot police and cavalry unit stockpiles.

Within the lore of Old World Blues, that is your decision. But the Desert Rangers are not a military outfit that looks like farmers or unarmored wastelanders, by any stretch.

@Roure The Desert Rangers still have your models as special forces models, the wastelander model is only being used for regular infantry. Not all of the Desert Rangers are literally special forces troops, and it gets confusing if they use the same model between their special forces and regular infantry.

Long term we plan to give regular Desert Rangers troops something of a mercenary appearance; their current appearance is just a stepping stone until that time. Its on our to-do list.

So in a word, y'all, it seems the Desert Rangers don't have a unique visual culture in the mod right now. I'll see if it's possible to jimmy any solution at all sometimes soon.
Rory Starr  [author] 7 Sep, 2019 @ 10:15pm 
@AznMagicalGamer this is apparently not a side effect of my mod. the team at OWB decided to give Rangers generic culture, which means they have the baseline unit, not their own special one. that may be outside my coding expertise.

Does this work with multiplayer if you are joining a game with the mod disabled for others?
Rory Starr  [author] 6 Sep, 2019 @ 9:10pm 
Hm, I'll see about updating it.
Uhhh Kyle 3 Sep, 2019 @ 4:29pm 
@AznMagicalGamer Yeah those models are annoying but on the brightside the special forces units do have a ranger model now.
AznMagicalGamer 2 Sep, 2019 @ 10:46am 
Update for 2.0? The update gave the Desert Rangers new models which made them look like weak wastelanders.

I would love a version of this that added then to vanila USA as an optional texture.

Loterus™ 27 May, 2019 @ 12:59pm 
yes this is good
Mellis 14 May, 2019 @ 12:06pm 
Would you consider making a model of the SRPA Blackops unit from Resistance 2, love your work by the way.
NukaColaBomb 8 May, 2019 @ 2:12pm 
@Foulsbane No problem! The independent path for the Desert Rangers is definitely the weakest, which I imagine why no one has reported it as of yet. I just thought an independent rangers group sounded cool haha.
Rory Starr  [author] 8 May, 2019 @ 10:05am 
@NukaColaBomb I just confirmed this, and I've actually somehow never had anyone report this before. I'll try to figure out what is doing this, but I'm preparing for a weeklong vacation right now and probably won't be able to fix it until the 14th.
NukaColaBomb 7 May, 2019 @ 5:07pm 
Not sure if this is a known bug or just something on my end, but when reappointing Snake Vargas as the leader of the Desert Rangers you are unable to take the 'Snake Vargas' focus to move down the independent path on the tree. It seems that the game doesn't think he's actually taken leadership, as he isn't marked as the ruler of the country and cannot be appointed as Chief of Army, but can be appointed as a high command. Am running no other mods besides OWB and OWB music.

Do you know how I could go about doing this?
JChristmas 3 May, 2019 @ 4:25pm 
Hey man I was able to replace everytime you mentioned DES for Desert Rangers and replace it with HOP to allow Hopeville to use the sprites. It worked fine, but I can't seem to be able to replace New Vegas's sprites using the same tactic.
Gabriel 25 Apr, 2019 @ 11:54pm 
does it allow the NCR to use this armour or only desert rangers
Rory Starr  [author] 25 Apr, 2019 @ 4:08pm 
@Punisher Maybe soon, but I don't have an estimate.
Earl of Homestead 25 Apr, 2019 @ 3:26pm 
can the NCR rangers get this armor?
Rory Starr  [author] 16 Apr, 2019 @ 9:34am 
@Commander_Vex if you ask in the Old World Blues discord server (which is available in the main menu link) they're generally incredibly helpful.
Commander Vex 15 Apr, 2019 @ 6:25pm 
How do you get skins into the game? I've been trying to get the Ashton Skin for another OWB nation but it doesn't work no matter what I do, is there any way for you to maybe make a tutorial on how to get skins to apply for other nations?
SovietCrab 4 Apr, 2019 @ 9:27pm 
@Foulsbane thanks for responding and I hope you do make other models for minor factions because I am sick and tired of seeing raiders wearing ww2 uniforms
Hunter 4 Apr, 2019 @ 8:59pm 
why would you make this?
Rangerjack 4 Apr, 2019 @ 4:37pm 
Finally! Been hoping someone would do something like this, thank you!
Headbanger 3 Apr, 2019 @ 2:56pm 
But... why? :steamfacepalm:
Rory Starr  [author] 3 Apr, 2019 @ 1:14pm 
@Nomaid I have no immediate plans for other models, but I feel the same way you do about minor factions.
Rory Starr  [author] 3 Apr, 2019 @ 1:12pm 
@Norwegian Viking You can talk to me about it, but please do so here.
Rory Starr  [author] 3 Apr, 2019 @ 1:11pm 
@Mona von Hazenberg You can leave what you want to talk about here. I check this space.
TheOldVeteran 3 Apr, 2019 @ 11:52am 
Hello Foulsbane, I was wondering if I could talk to you about a potensial reskin. Contact me if intrested
cwarnerjr06 3 Apr, 2019 @ 9:35am

SovietCrab 2 Apr, 2019 @ 4:41pm 
Oh and dont forget the raiders, the raiders look like they are civilized when they are a form of gang that goes around killing others for money and surivial
SovietCrab 2 Apr, 2019 @ 4:40pm 
What about NCR power armor? Can forget the NCR
Eothas Top Guy 2 Apr, 2019 @ 5:39am 
You better take responsibility for the cum in my pants.
Nuclear Cloud 2 Apr, 2019 @ 4:35am 
Consider setting up a patreon or something to be set up where people can contribute
D4unkKriegsman 2 Apr, 2019 @ 3:43am 
I was about to say something about the mechanized unit models, but then saw what you were considering for the future. But seriously wouldn't mind one bit for more depth in this mod, love it. Keep it up bro.
Mattf 1 Apr, 2019 @ 1:54pm 
cool looks great!
Sputnik 1 Apr, 2019 @ 8:52am 
can I talk to you about the mod ?
Rory Starr  [author] 31 Mar, 2019 @ 11:35pm 
@duprerj I haven't heard of any stability issues... but, let me know your modlist?
Pizzawed 31 Mar, 2019 @ 7:49pm 
looks great, wish there was one for the legion.
duprerj 31 Mar, 2019 @ 6:35pm 
It keeps fucking crashing! Can you fix it?
only gay cops tk me 31 Mar, 2019 @ 1:23pm 
Damn, this a good mod. Props to you :emofdr:
Vulpes Inculta 31 Mar, 2019 @ 9:52am 
For now, is a great great Ame... I say em... Great Work! I like so much that model like many other players of fallout, is the ranger armor please! If you know how to implement to other special forces like NCR, would be incredible, but for now is incredible. Rommel out!
Crimson_Nomad 31 Mar, 2019 @ 9:03am 
I mean not as a standalone unit but just as a selectable unit graphic when making new divisons
