By and large it is, but ACE  does implement their own versions of things which might not necessarily play well with my versions of those things :) With their extensive medical emphasis, I'm not sure how well it would play with TPW BLEEDOUT for instance. 

 

Personally, I don't use ACE and am not about to install it and spend the large amount of time necessary to devise workarounds for it.  

 

Sorry about the 2 negative posts in one day.    

 

my 10¢: I run TPWmods alongside ACE without issues, so long as Bleedout is disabled.

For some reason ,

every time there is someone who is associating a script / addon compabillity with ace3mod  ,

even if he doesn't even really playing with this !

Crazy right ?!

[RabidStoat 39]

@tpw
I had a thought regarding HUD: Given that a player using it can experience a marked improvement in their own skill level while it's active, might it be possible to boost the AI skill level for any units wearing the compatible headgear? As a simulation of their own improved awareness?

Not negative, it's just the way it is. Same here. E.g., I was sad that the "Advanced Ballistics" guy chose to go into the ACE framework. Means for me, I cannot use it any more. Or I use his heavily outdated non ACE version. Because with the ACE ecosystems comes too much complexity (in a "how much time can I invest" vs. "how long is a day" kind of way), after all.

Hi TPW I wanna report some bugs:

(only CBA and TPW Mods are loaded)

 

1. When first loading into a game and aiming down sights, this error pops up in the centre of the screen:

No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgSounds/aim4.titles'.

The number in "aim4" seems to change randomly...

 

2. When it starts raining, a similar error pops up:

No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgSounds/rain_helmet_internal1.titles'.

Again, the number in "internal1" seems to change.

 

I've tried to re-download your mods but nothing changes...

Thanks for the bug report Sam. These errors are ostensibly related to the new aiming and rain on helmet noises introduced by Lord Jarhead and myself, but I've never seen them and imagine they would only pop up if you are using an old version of the tpw_sounds.pbo  

 

I'll keep digging and see what I can find.

Thanks for the reply!

That's strange. When I update my TPW Mods, I always delete the old @ folder then put in the new one.

I've downloaded the Armaholic version and the Dropbox version, they both have the same problem.

On my computer it says tpw_sounds.pbo was last modified on 2018/06/25, so I guess it's the newest version...

[LarsAspra 13]

Yo tpw. Just wanted to chip in and say that I am also having the same bug as Sam Fisher, and I can verify that my installation is all in proper order. The message only appears when you first aim in a mission and not on any subsequent aiming actions, and only appears again if you reload from a save, but apart from that the new sounds are working fine as far as I can tell.

And I might be going out on a limb here, so please do pardon me if I am about to do so, but I also want to ask about the possibility of perhaps incorporating certain JBOY scripts used in his excellent Property of Mabunga mission into your mod? (With his permission of course)
To give an example, his fix for rooftop AI being stuck in the air when buildings are destroyed and his dead AI fall from vehicle scripts would be right at home at TPW Fall, and his Birds of Prey, Fish Jump, Turbo Chicken, wild dog packs and his seagulls flying in V formation scripts would be excellent additions to TPW Animals. Perhaps even his Patrol Chatter and Lights On/OFF script might fit in with TPW Mods, though I must admit I don't see for it a place in any of the existing modules.

Again, forgive me if I stepped outta line there as a simple user, its just been something on my mind that I wanted to speak out, thinking of additions to suggest to this most awesome mod.

[Cochise333 18]

 

Just want to say thanks mate! You've always responded to people's questions, queries, suggestions and comments and probably have one of the most frequently updated mods in the whole Arma series. Without it I would have dropped the game completely. I finally managed to get TPW working with UNSUNG and AirCAV everything spawned was courtesy of TPW. All I can say is...Sick! Thanks for all the work!

Hi LarsAspra

 

I still wasn't able to reproduce the bug at my end but have switched over from playsound to using playsound3d for these sounds, which is used for all my other sound stuff without issues.

 

Jboy does amazing work, but TPW MODS is about my scripts, not his :)

Great video mate, a bit of the Dan spices up any footage I reckon. I'm very grateful for your feedback.

Hi TPW, good to hear from you.

My situation is exactly the same as described by LarsAspra.

Do you mind releasing a preliminary version to let us test if it solves the problem?

Thanks a lot!

[oldy41 61]

Hi tpw,

is there a way to exclude single units from DUCK via the editor? E.g.set some variable in the unit's init code?

I would simply like some guys set to crouch behind sandbag walls to keep their heads up even when fired upon.

 

And again, thanks a lot for your great mod and the excellent support you are providing for your fans!

Hi oldy41

 

Actually you can already do this, I just forgot to document it.

 

If you put this in the AI's init field

this setvariable "tpw_duck_exclude" = 1

they'll ignore suppression.

Are you comfortable running the script versions of TPW MODS? If so let me know and I can send you the updated scripts. Or, just sit tight and I'll release the updated mod in a week or so.

tpw_skirmish_friendlyunitstring[] = {"B_CUPAFRUN"};

tpw_skirmish_enemyunitstring[] = {"O_CUPAFRReb"};

[froggyluv 2136]

Aha -boneheaded indeed..Thanks man

[domokun 515]

Since the latest version I'm encountering the following error messages in-game:

No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgSounds/aimX.titles'

Where X is a number from 1 to 6.

Any idea why and how to solve it?

[pachira 1]

Had the same issue with AimpistolX.titles as well as the other errors people have mentioned.

[Irish93 2]

Im very aware of the information provided by youTPW however surely you must have a direct string that works for the UNSUNG MOD 

 

*Custom factions and support
---------------------------- 
If you have 3rd party addons and would like to use them as factions, then if you know their classnames (NOT their faction names) you can select them by specifying text unique to the factions. For instance, to use both  the excellent ADF Uncut DPCU Australian and RHS US forces as friendlies:

    tpw_skirmish_friendlyunitstring = ["_DPCU","RHSUSF"] -> will select all units with "_DPCU" or "RHSUSF" anywhere in their classnames.
    tpw_skirmish_friendlytype = [0,1,5] -> will then use ADF, RHSUSF, NATO and AAF as friendlies.
    
If the script cannot find any units using your specified text, then it will default back to NATO for friendlies, CSAT for OPFOR, and AAF for INDFOR.

Similarly, you can specify the classnames of the support helicopter and close support aircraft and UAV to use for each faction. You nay specify multiple classes for each, which will be chosen from at random.
