The Foliage Camouflage System (FolCamS) is a 'logic' module that attaches foliage to tanks, cars and artillery to camouflage them. This add-on recreates in Arma 2 the practice of camouflaging vehicles with twigs and leaves, as practiced by WWII Wehrmacht and Cold War NATO forces. Foliage camouflage works in SP and MP.

FolCamS comes with a database of vehicle dimensions, which enables it to camouflage over 180 vehicles from popular WWII and NATO forces out of the box. And for vehicle classes not yet supported, mission creators can simply add or change vehicle data at mission start, so their mission's vehicles will be camouflaged as well. See the 13 page manual (included) for detailed instructions.

FolCamS can attach foliage to the hull and to the turret (memory points). It spawns a per-vehicle script to align the turret-attached foliage with the rotating turret.

For now, only conifer camouflage is being available, but FolCamS is capable using other vegetation when made available.

I've uploaded a movie so you can see the camouflage in motion (in P85 / CWR2:BAF / I44 and BAOR vehicles). The code to update the vehicle database has been changed slightly, so be sure to check the manual included in the add-on for details.

Brilliant! I was thinking about implementing this kind of camouflage in our mod too many times already (vehicles, artillery, fortifications, even for use on helmet covers). This looks like a dream coming true! :D

Finally! Just this morning I woke to regret the difficulties of making foilage camo in Arma. Do please keep working on this, it's something we'd very much like to see.

Good point, Kju. Please find below the scripts (some code irrelevant for MP removed for brevity):

The code is set-up as follows:

- config.cpp (invokes scripts/init.sqf)

- scripts/init.sqf (invokes initialization script, checks for (synchronized) vehicles, invokes scripts/attach_foliage.sqf for each vehicle after a delay to allow missions to add vehicle data)

- scripts/attach_foliage.sqf (checks if the vehicle is known, if so invokes scripts/vehicle_attach_foliage.sqf and receives a list of foliage objects, and invokes scripts/monitor_vehicle_foliage.sqf to rotate and remove the foliage objects from the vehicle)

- scripts/vehicle_attach_foliage.sqf (attaches foliage, returns list of all attached foliage and a list of turret attached foliage)

- scripts/monitor_vehicle_foliage.sqf (monitors vehicle being alive, and rotates any turret attached foliage between every 0.05 and 1.0 second, depending on distance to player / movie maker override)

- scripts/initialize_foliage_camouflage_system.sqf (sets up the globals, defines functions to handle vehicle and foliage data)

I'm aware I'd need to perform an additional setPos in order to communicate rotation of the turret attached foliage in the 'monitor' script for MP purposes. Checking if the angle hasn't changed significantly also might help. However, SP performance is good.

Looking forward to everyone's feedback. In case you need to have this code running on your system to improve it, let me know and I'll send you a .pbo.

Looks pretty good already. :)

Thoughts

# Use killedEH instead of the loop (setVar/getVar to cache the data per vehicle)

# As addon you would have initEH (with CBA also preInit , etc)

# You seem to have a DB or cache the vehicle dimensions already; otherwise may help a bit

# Adjusting the foliage per turret movement should be optional as it seems its loop is the biggest performance drain (aside from drawing additional alpha textures and foliage objects)

# Vehicle respawn and dynamic vehicle creation is not taken into account (unless i missed it); the said initEH would make your life far easier there

Did you do some performance measurements yet?

Awesome! Especially the ease of use is intriguing! *thumbsup*

Do you also plan different plants and/or a mix with camo netting (e.g. putting a few dry brushes on a desert vehicles would make sense as well)? And what about infantry, i.e. helmet cover?

Thanks for all the encouragements and feedback (here and in the PMs - Rocko sent some great info and sample code to handle viewblocks).

No CWR2 Challenger support ? :(

The vehicle database currently covers 133 vehicles, including BI's USMC armor, P85 UK, US and FRG (Bundeswehr) armor, CWR2 US and UK armor (including the Chally - yes), all of I44's Wehrmacht/SS/Luftwaffe armor and static guns, modern Bundeswehr armor, some modern Dutch and Swedish armor. I just need to complete my 'homework' on Trouble's BAOR vehicles, having done little more than the Mk9 Chieftains.

No plans for helmet covers. Perhaps the video was confusing, showing the CWR2 British infantry with scrim/burlap attached to their helmets. These attachments are part of the excellent soldier models, by Col Stagler.

Wrt different plants: the system is set-up to support different "plants" just like it supports different vehicles. Up to now, I've only discovered one plant producing decent results; others are too small or too bulky, as you can see for yourself below. Using anything else than plants is possible, but requires more precision in placement to look good.

First priority is to get one type of foliage working well.

_foliage_pmugo.jpg _foliage_sambucus.jpg _foliage_longdrygrass.jpg _foliage_tyres.jpg

Left to right: PMugo plant (that works OK when its stuffed for a large part into the vehicle), Sambucus (too wield, roots too long), long tall grass (too small to be effective), and car tyres (to show something different than plants).

This looks great!, whats the status on this anything that can be used yet? I was wondering if anything like this could be done with the 'rags' you see in the pic below:

http://data3.primeportal.net/apc/erik_jan_eskes/cv9035nl_camo/images/cv9035nl_camo_3_of_9.jpg

I'm preparing for a release this week, including source code and extensive documentation. Dutch Army Mod CV9035NL and YPRs are covered (duh).

If you have a model for the "fabric strips" camo net (say 1m wide, 0.7m high, 0.15m deep), FolCamS would be able to attach it to the hull sides and front right away.

Unless the vehicle has memory points at the turret sides, FolCamS isn't able to attach anything to the turret sides. (The Iron Front: Liberation 1944 Wehrmacht tanks have track parts and side skirts attached using a series of memory points).

The Arma2 attach_to command is limited to either the vehicle center with an offset, or a (rotating) memory point but without an offset.

If you need to add memory points to the CV model, you might be better off doing all the camouflage netting yourself. In a similar fashion as the Gepard (aka PRTL with different radar dish) you have in the Dutch Army mod.

Anyway, if you have a camo net model, I'll be more than happy to help out recreating these fine IFVs.
