hmmm after testing this update im getting huge FPS drops and i noticed some problems with many weapons , AKMS mags sometimes or most of the times dissapear some m4cqbs muzzles don't show at all , some m4s appears with deformed textures is this normal? i think these issues should be reviewed by legend massi and fix them in next update :)

hi,

about FPS drop it's kind a weird thing, since to keep the mod run smootly I kept the old low-res lods for all the new models and just added to the lod 0-1 and viewpilot the new ones, so I think it is not caused by my mod.

I did not notice any disappearing mag on aks or muzzle on m4, during testing, same for texture deformation (maybe what you're referring is due to the switching to another lod since the models have some different parts, but it should happen only at far distance and it is made to keep good FPS and during testing they never caused visual glitches)

about arsenal it is quite strange but MP5SD and M1014 do not appear in it, the weird thingh is that they're config exactly as the other weapons, so I don't know how to fix it at the moment

and about @mas folder I made it same for all addons in way you can merge all my addons in this folder to make just one big @mas addon

best regards ;)

I am sry to post this again...my apology.

I just wandering if u notice the HK416s' handguard,dont u think they are too big ? u can easily find it if u look the gun from the side,the lower rail seems lower than it should be ,and the gun is completely weird with the bigger handguard...pls check it if u got some moment.

Other things are that I cant find MK23 or USP45 in arsenal any more,but they can be found in VAS, Is there any connection between the new pistol IR pointer and this?I noticed that the Benelli also disappered too.

Again, thx for ur hard work and sry for my request,I might be to choosy.I would be very appreciate if u can reply me,big fan on ur work:)

hi,

sorry I didn't see your previous post...well about hk handguard size they're little bit larger than previous version, but they look ok to me, maybe I'll check in the future again.

about weapons missing in arsenal, as I said just above, I don't have a solution at the momet since I configged all weapons the same way, it has nothing to do with accesories sorry.

I need to install them all onto one addon folder under a single @mas folder or are u suggesting creating say @mas1 @mas2 @ mas3 - 3 separate folder for each of the mods and that's how they will appear in the mod enable menu in game?

Exactly.

For example I renamed them @massi weapons; @massi vehicles; @massi DEVGRU and so on. They will appear with these names in the expansion menu.

[ErALeopard 10]

Thanks a lot massi.

You can deal with the handguard issue some time if it is convenient for u,maybe in the future updates.

I am looking forward to your further improvement on this mod,also your works are regarded as the best and most important mod among my little arma team.

Best Wish.:)

[massi 772]

thanks ;)

[ab_luca 24]

hi massi,

is it intentional that acog and all west scopes can mount on all ak rifle and not only in the ak SF?

I think no, becuse laser and light can mount in AK rifles without having any rails...

anyway thanks a lot for the great updates and if I can make a request, I would like to change bipod position with "F" in single shot rifles,

Bye!!

Create 3 separate mods folders for the separate mods. I'd advise against putting all of the mods into the same folder, but that's just me:)

mighty thanks for the reply will give it a try - also just to clarify how I need to set this up will it work if you create a single MAS folder then drop the x3 sub folders called say @masdevgroup @masSFweapons @masvehicles into this single folder or do you need 3 completely separate folder sets ups?

No, you don't have to leave the single @mas folder, you need completely separate folders.

Remember to disable all of them, if you installed them yet, and reactivate them after you renamed and divided the mods to avoid issues.

better thing is to merge all the @mas folder togheter...that's why I named them the same way ... put all my addons pbo inside one unique @mas folder, this way you'll have only one mas mod with all the addons you want.

[mac1 1]

massi thanks for the reply

so just to make sure I understand you have a single @mas folder and within that a single addon folder and within this you drop all the various pbo files relating to vehicles/SF weapons/DevGrp units? and I am guessing you can do this for other mods so long as they come with the same @"folder name" when you extract them such as all the HLC weapon mods?(I have them all in one add on folder currently......

Hi,

I'm sorry but there's something wrong with your install, this is the same weapons ingame from my game (I'm using the addon downloaded from the web):

probably in one of your mod folder there's an old version of my weapons config file causing all the issues you reported previously, the fix is to find and delete it

hope it helps ;)

Hate to have to sound a dissenting note, but I must say imho the new AKM/AK-74s models are a huge step backwards. The magazines in particular have terrible geometry, many of the stocks (not just the SF ones) look way to small. It kills me to say it, but they just look all wrong. Again hate to say it but imo its true. Sorry :(

thanks massi for replying , will try my best to see whats going on :D

also would like to ask will be there new weapons ( PKP , ak105 rpg29 rpg30 for example ) btw i love the new AKMS its my fav :D

[malcom86 33]

Massi I'm having a problem with your guns while using AGM: most of them (especially assault rifles) activate the hearing damage. As I can think of it as a little bit realistic (not pretty sure about that) on the other hand I would be glad if you can fix it and make them just "normal" as all the other rifles. Before the last update, only MG, sniper rifles and launchers needed hearplugs.

Hi ,

I made no config changes at all, just models, so I don't know how to fix it sorry...if anybody know please report it and I'll implement that on next update

Hey Massi

Given you’ve already done it with the AN/PEQ-2, it’d also be nice to see a camo versions of the AN/PEQ-15 and/or DBAL-A2 in both top mounted and side mounted versions.

Would also be good to see a camo version of the torch, or better still something like a camo version of the SureFire M600 Ultra, with perhaps a longer throw/strength of beam?

[Matth_ 68]

Nice addon ! Thank you ! But I don't have some weapons in virtual Arsenal : Benelli M1014 , AS Val , VSS Vintorez, can you add them to the virtual arsenal please :bounce3: ??? Thank you !
