John Spartan 89 Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) Eggbeast, would you be interested to take this idea to a next level? Instead of allowing user to chose from loadout presets, give user/pilot a full control of every single instance of weapon/ordinance loaded. If you want I can share a fully working set of scripts and UI config. I would love to see such mod for all vanilla game aircraft. Drop me a PM if you are interested man, would be glad to help you out with this great mod. Edited July 27, 2013 by John_Spartan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eggbeast 3673 Posted July 22, 2013 Hi John your system is definitely of interest. Myke has been working on one for awhile and we had planned to make the IAWS the next stage for this. You've already got some nice features in there - like fuel pods functioning and role quickbuttons. We are very interested to collaborate. I've added you on steam - maybe we can have a quick chat? cheers EB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jigsor 176 Posted July 26, 2013 Myke's collection of models + John's UI + Egg's flexible scripting could be such a great collaboration in the direction of custom aircraft load outs. If so, good move guys! Exciting stuff. Hope to see something come of this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eggbeast 3673 Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) okay Myke, John and I have had a chat over the weekend and come up with a draft proposal/ outline of work for this. this is a very rough idea of what we're hoping to produce GUI for planes and missiles - with individual pylon loads or chosen role quickload buttons It aims to work for - stock - GLT/FRL missilebox / EB_missilebox - Unsung / uns_missilebox - PRACS air weapons (hopefully) with a good range of planes and gunships included from: stock John Gnat unsung/csj/yak/Aplion wld427 (hopefully) GUI work / scripting/ configging work will be undertaken by John, Myke and I together, with hopefully some help from others in the community. critical problems we may need to work on include: - turret ownership in MP - adding weapons to more than one turret - adding rocketpod proxies to stock planes/choppers - ECM system development - ACE compatibility we do not intend to cause problems with pre-existing mods, just to add a function that might enhance them. watch this space!

hcpookie 3770 Posted July 29, 2013 Egg, As a mod maker, what must I do to integrate my weapon mods into this?

[aps]gnat 28 Posted July 30, 2013 basically im wondering if we can proxy off a magazine model attached to a plane for rocket weapons Probably only if the proxy is defined in the model.cfg with HIDE animation ..... which is unlikely to be the case for vanilla aircraft. (or you "hide" it inside a larger fuel pod or similar) But fixable for us mod'ers if we plan a re-release to addons. Lookin forward to the opportunity eggbeast !

evilnine9 1 Posted August 6, 2013 Just trying out the new v8 version and trying to get the PRACS working with it but I can't seem to. I got it working by editing the ini.sqf for v7 and the planes/helis spawn in the hangars, but I tried the same thing on v8 and I always get stock planes spawning never the PRACS ones. Is there any difference in how to enable the optional mods? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

legolasindar 3 Posted August 9, 2013 ok, i strongly recommend using this mod at the moment with the demo mission script as it provides you with 7 loadouts per airplane or helicopter.The loadouts are drawn either from stock BIS weapons or mods if you run them (and choose the parameter) - PRACS, RKSL, and EB_Air all work well. There will soon be support for unsung 2.6 and GLT/ FRL missilebox too. Try it with EB_Air selected in parameters, or if you load in editor, open the mission and edit the init file in wordpad or notepad++ to change the value editor to editor=1; vecmods=1; this will then load the mission with the new EB_missilebox air weaponry. If you just take a stock AH64 it only has stock BIS hellfires on it, so you are relying on the stock targeting system, which I have not changed. There is very little point in doing this, as it does not make use of the wide range of new loadouts that come with the rearm script - either for example, stock weapons or my EB_missilebox ones. the ACR error you have is referring to ACR_lite - google it. It's a BIS stock addon that everyone should probably have... In time I intend to make all of the variants as config versions so you can load them in the game and AI can use them. But it takes some time to do this, and I'm waiting on a model use discussion at the moment. good luck anyway ! Not work, your scripted mission give me error, required "caair_acr_l159", "caair_acr_l39" and "caair_acr_mi24", and not load mission. If i erase this addons from mission.sqm and launch, can load mission in the editor and launch, but get the same problem, laser designator not appear and cant set distance with tab, etc... in the pilot seat.

legolasindar 3 Posted August 13, 2013 you need ACR matehttp://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=17321 The problem is cant install ACR comp patch, give me "missing string" error every time try to install, i search in internet and i cant find any solution. ACR is not optional DLC, i think is much better not include this DLC for requisits, is my opinion, i not know anyone use this DLC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
