Looking solid there Kanga. Eagerly awaiting update.

Any news on ACE compatibility or new base for Inf/SOTG?

[Clarkey1 10]

Oh, oh, oh! Bloody fantastic! Download! Download! Download!

Damn - need to wait for mirror - in my rush didn't see the bit about Yoma!

[cozza 24]

A nice release for ANZAC day. I was thinking what AAW would be telling us today. Some news or screenshots (Not a release)

Awesome sauce indeed. Downloading now.

[CameronMcDonald 146]

\m/ Excellent. :D

[cozza 24]

Ok. Just had a bit of a play around with these (great fun tearing around Zargabad with them)

A dreaded bug report :p. The M2 machine gun disappears on all the ASLAV's when running blastcore with the mod. The gun still fires, but is invisible.

Now back to playing with these for me.

[jedra 11]

Loving the back door animation and it's sound on the ASLAV. This afternoon I have been door up, door down, door up, door down...

Still really enjoy the Bushmaster too - I would definitely take the kids to school in one of them beauties!

[Choki 10]

yes!!! thanks. I hate to use yankees in arma so I need this. Grat job

For anyone interested here's the link to the AAW ASLAV user's guide: http://www.norrin.org/downloads/AAW/ASLAV_readMe.pdf

PS: Already found a bug with the centre rear passenger in the PC variants

[vengeance1 50]

Awesome NORRIN thanks!

[scarecrow398 43]

First off, nice work, perfect time to release the update too, the ASLAV's look awesome and the new Bushmasters with M2 Brownings are a welcome supprise.

Second, i've found a visual error with the "Door gunner" seat on the S-70 MG, from the eye point everything is fine and from the exterior its fine just when looking over the M240:

Still functions perfectly though.

Included signatures are the old and deprecated V1, please add V2: http://sickboy-six.blogspot.com/2011/11/v2-signatures-bisign-and-bikey-what-is.html

Also in @aaw_vanilla, there's an inko_disposable.pbo, it's signed by INKO.bisign (v1 as well), there is no AAW signature, nor is there the INKO.bikey included.

[grub 10]

Nice work on the update gents.

I'm assuming my update through Yoma's worked.

All files appeared in the list as not needing to be updated, as in not green and saying New. I hit Download addons anyway and it seemed to DL some of the existing files again. I also now have the additional @ folders.

Again, great work! A truly quality mod.

Hi,

Something fishy is going on with the Bushmasters and ASLAV (ACE and Vanilla).

If, immediately after loading the game I ;

1. Start a SP editor session (I used Takistan).

2. Place a playable Bushmaster or ASLAV on the map.

3. Hit Preview

I get a "No entry 'bin\config.bin.CfgSkeletons'" message and thrown back to the editor. I can then hit preview again, and the session then starts.

Unfortunately in game, all the units have now lost their legs and their animations. No matter what units I choose (AAW or otherwise) they are always without legs and animations.

If I do this;

1. Start a SP editor session (I used Takistan).

2. Place a playable unit (man) on the map.

3. Hit Preview

No problem, game starts and the unit runs around to his hearts content with both legs and those crazy BI animations. I can even go back to the editor and replace the man with a bushmaster or an ASLAV and get no error messages and no units with amptations.

Checking the report when I run the first scenario, I get this;

Obsolete CfgSkeletons for OFP2_ManSkeleton, move to model.cfg
Warning Message: No entry 'bin\config.bin.CfgSkeletons'.
Warning Message: No entry '.OFP2_ManSkeleton'.

...snipped thousands of similar lines...

Looks like in in certain scenarios (i.e when they are first to load), the BMs and ASLAVs screw with cfgSkeleton somehow?

Jedra can you please post your modline

[scarecrow398 43]

Kanga;2141196']Jedra can you please post your modline

Sure it's;

"I:\mods\Arma\expansion\beta\arma2oa.exe" -nosplash -skipintro -nofilepatching -showscripterrors "-malloc=tbb4malloc_bi" "-world=empty" "-name=Jedra" "-mod=e:\games\steamapps\common\arma 2;expansion;i:\mods\arma\expansion\beta;i:\mods\arma\expansion\beta\expansion;i:\mods\arma\@CBA_A2;i:\mods\arma\@CBA_OA;i:\mods\arma\@CBA;i:\mods\arma\@aaw_core;i:\mods\arma\@aaw_vanilla"

I launch with Six Updater.

[tpw 2315]

Thanks [XDF]Kanga, Norrin etc etc, a great mod just keeps getting better.

Really love having working flashlight attachments on the Steyrs. It there a way to script turning the flashlight on/off (I don't mean globally disabling it via AAW_noFL), so that other AI squad members can use it?

TIA

[norrin 9]

@scarecrow - OK we've fixed both of those errors and a few others to boot including adding the V2 sig files as per Sickboy's post - just got to wait until Kanga stops playing with his new toys and updates Yoma.

@Jedra - its very strange mate, I don't know whats causing it, all I can say is I haven't heard that anyone else is having the same problem which makes me think it might be one of these 3 things:

1. the beta exe you're running;

2. launching with Six Updater; or

3. most likely - try making sure that @aaw_vanilla or @aaw_ace is loaded before the @aaw_core folder in your start-up parameters.

@TPW - no its not possible at the moment without some scripting involved but I'll try to build in a function that allows for AI flashlight toggling in a future update. Something else I'll do in the morning is post the f88 flashlight classes then you can give the AI the flashlight weapons at mission start.

Cheers Norrin - if no-one else has reported then at least I know it's me - will concentrate on the areas you pointed out! Will get back to you if I find what was causing it - may be useful to someone else.
