[OA] ACEX M4 Carbines updated for OA's US Army soldiers

[Banderas 0]

Hi!

I've updated my ACEX M4 config for OA, replacing the ACEX US Army soldiers with Arrowhead's ones.

For newcomers' information, this config adds semi- and burst-fire capable M4 Carbines usin ACEX's M4A1 models as a basis. See the readme for further info:

M4 config for ACEX M4A1s updated for OA

by Banderas

version: 0.85OA

Description: 

I hope I can fill some space in ArmA 2s armory that is missed by many community members.
Simple config that adds M4 Carbines to the game, using ACEX weaponclasses, so regular US Army grunts can get their proper Semi-Burst weapons they supposed to have. As of right now I made the config only for "plain black" non-SOCOM weapon models without silencers - I don't think too many regular infantry and guardsmen are running around with silencers in the field.


This is just a config file, I didn't touch any models/textures/original configs!

This version is updated to give Operation Arrowhead's US Army soldiers M4 Carbines.
New soldiers can be found in US Army -> Men (M4) in the editor. 


Required addons: 
-CBA;
-ACE;
-ACEX;
-Operation Arrowhead


Installation:
put the BND_M4.pbo into any custom modfolder of yours (recommended) or into "x:\...\ArmA 2\Addons" folder
(not recommended).


Weapon classnames:

-BND_M4;      
-BND_M4_GL;   
-BND_M4_AIM;
-BND_M4_AIM_GL;
-BND_M4_RCO;
-BND_M4_RCO_GL;
-BND_M4_HWS;
-BND_M4_HWS_GL;
-BND_M4_TA01 - bugged, currently firing in full auto

Ammobox classname:

-BND_M4_box



All of them are using the same mags as ACEX M4A1s (BIS STANAGs, ACE STANAGs, M203 rounds...).

Known bugs: 
-M4s use M16 sounds in burst fire mode (recommend to use ACEX_SM or Elias's soundmod, you won't experience a big difference with them);
-ACE "CQB-switching" on ACOG equipped models are missing, however it works well with OA's own CQB-sight switch ("/" key);
-since it uses existing models, they have the "M4A1" designation on them.

Future plans:

-hopefully to fix the above bugs;
-make an euipment config for US Army addons;
-add M4 with TA01NSN to the pack with working CQB sights;
-if required, to make a config for vanilla M4A1s.

Wait...M4A1's can go full auto aswell...Why did you only write Semi and Burst??

He said he made regular M4's using ACEX's M4A1 models. So semi and burst, but no full auto.
