FHQ Accessories pack

[gliptal 25]

Ok, I have NO idea how this is possible, but your attachments are working and functional on new BIS weapons, like the MK20 (aka F2000)...

One thing I noticed about your magnified optics: they still use the old black border method, and not the new 3D optic method that was implemented...

Yay!

There is a new optic for the Green side, that will probably not work. I need to update the pack for that.

Yes, that's because they are not updated :)

Sorry for the question (just curious here), but how can the modified .cfg you made before the new weapons were released make your attachments work with these new weapons?

Yay!

@gliptal Some times moders are given per-releases, that way they can get a head start on re coding.

The config file just overrides the SlotsInfo base classes, so anything derived from it will still inherit it. But the new optics that are added in the Beta will no longer work on any gun if you load the Accessories bonus.

I wish :D Unfortunately, if they did that, I wasn't one of them (BIS? *puppy eyes* :D))

Oh thanks, now I get it!

Just to let every one know, After I updated steam this afternoon to BETA, I had no issues at all With FHQ packs. From what i have tested it GTG as is. I love the 3D scopes.

[Alwarren 2767]

Pack just got updated to 1.2 for the Arma 3 Beta. New feature: The ACOG is now a 3D scope, in line with the rest of the sghts in Arma 3 Beta.

First post updated with new download location. Enjoy!

For some reason I can never extract your Accessories zip file when I DL it from your site. When its on Armaholic (as with previous versions) it works fine. I guess I'll have to wait. Computers are silly.

EDIT: And there it goes. Live and rock on, Armaholic! Thanks for the update, Alwarren!

The new ACOG 3D scope is nice - but in my opinion its to big. The viewpoint is too close for me. Would it be possible to back the viewpoint up a bit (or make the scope smaller in scale when zoomed in) without compromising the scopes magnification?

Great! Thanks a lot, Foxhound. First post updated with the new link.

Weird, I don't think that anybody else has this problem, and I don't really think Armaholic repacks the archives...

If I move the eyepoint I will most likely have to redo the recticle, and I really don't want to go through that again :) I thought the closer viewpoint will make using the reticle easier. I am, however, still trying to figure out how I can make an illuminated retcile with the red glowing chevron, but so far, I had problems with it because the way I did the collimator sights don't work on this - I get weird artifacts. I'll revisit the viewpoint issue then, when I did this one I hadn't seen BIS' new scopes, or I would have made it more similar.

Alwarren thanks for the update will have to give them a run down later.

Any way to make one of these.

I have tried myself but I dont have the skills like you do.

[rockdpm 10]

Hey Al, are you planning on making the Halo/3x magnification into 3D Scope

Kinda like:

Thanks Alwarren.

Any possibility of you guys making a aimpoint reflex red dot? Like this one from the Arma 2 Mk18 from Arma 2

There is already an aimpoint in the pack as well as a micro CCO, which is more or less a short aimpoint.

Also, could you make an ACOG with illuminated sights? The real one is quite known for being relatively easy to aim with at night.

I only get "The information you requested could not be retrieved." on these. But as 13isLucky said, an Aimpoint CompM4 is already in (black and tan variants).

I actually had one made (http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/882983718965791958/152F202BF9CC030E47D972B28BD461CEF37FE099/) but it had issues. You can't see it here, but if you use the ACOG against a darker background, you will see weird white and red lines around the illuminated parts. I didn't manage to get them fixed, and thought that I'd wait until BIS released the Beta to perhaps find out how they did it. Unfortunately, as it turned out, their reticlles aren't illuminated either, they have a color but they do not glow in the dark.

Still trying to figure out how to do this. The collimator sights method doesn't seem to work.

EDIT: Before someone complains about the visible jaggies, this is a preliminary version of the ACOG. In the released version, I added extra subdivision to the tube (http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/884110885613371804/C69BDD5EDCED33F66DD908F1B131B2D1AF034C77/) :)

I think the Aimpoint on the A2 Mk18 is the M68 or CompM2.

Ah I see. Currently, I have not planned to add another Aimpoint, but I'll consider it after the Remington pack is complete.

[brad7 4]

Alwarren, any chance you could do a susat sight? Ive made the model in 3ds max just dont know where to go from here...
