Armed-Tactics Mod Pack - Beta Release

[Maike 10]

Aloha :)

I'd like to introduce you to the AT Mod Pack Beta Release

aka "Unfinished stuff we had laying around and couldn't bother to finish up, because we are lazy"

Since release of the Alpha we tinkered around with different addons, sometimes porting older releases, fix things we don't like or adding stuff. Most of these addons have existed for quite some time, so they have been tested during normal play, but in the last days needed an update. So we finished up what else was there and now they are in a state that can be released to the public, even though some features we want to add are still missing.

Mostly it's clientside and only some addons need CBA. Everything that changes existing weapon classes has been updated to incorporate the new weapons, so will need the DEV branch until a new patch is out.

• AT_Glasses
  Mostly a port of the old pack for Arma 2, with addition of more monocle options and an "arrow".
  
• AT_GUI3
  This one is getting smaller with every version, because the changes are already in A3. This time we have:
  
  • AT_GUI3_Cursor: Removes all small arms crosshairs, even if activated on the server.
    Needs DEV
    
  • AT_GUI3_PeriphMarker: Removes the peripheral vision blob markers on the edge of the screen.
    

  [*]AT_Inhaler

  Every soldier (and civilian) is issued with an inhalator to counter severe asthma attacks after e.g. running for 10m loaded.

  No animation yet, needs a proper model and icon, review of efficiency/duration/number of uses

  Needs CBA

  [*]AT_Namechanger

  Real designations for weapons and vehicles in game, configurable in userconfig.

  Only changes displayname, not all vehicles included.

  Needs DEV

  [*]AT_NoCoffee3

  Allows you to remove colour filters in a mission with a shortcut. Real isn't brown anymore.

  Needs CBA

  [*]AT_OpticsCleaner

  Removes blur and chromatic abberation effects from backup sights on SOS, DMS and Nightstalker optics. See bugtracker

  Needs DEV

  [*]AT_Satchel

  Allows you to attach satchels and explosive charges to objects and vehicles.

  Needs CBA

  [*]AT_Uniform

  Adds tigerstripe camo (uniform/vests/hat/backpack) and a unit using them to the game.

Thank you very much for featuring the Armed-Tactics Mod Pack on the Armaholic frontpage, Foxhound.

And maybe a moderator could change the title of the thread to "Armed-Tactics Mod Pack - Beta Release" to prevent any confusion?

Are you really going to add animations for the asthma inhaler? :D

Yes, Mondkalb made a custom animation for the inhaler but we hadn't time to add it yet.

Just thought I'd let you guys know, while using the AT_Satchel mod with TeTeT's Nimitz port, I tried to place a satchel on the carrier. It spawned high up in the air above me. My best guess is that this is some issue based on getting the position of the player, maybe an issue that could be solved by getposATL/getposASL if it isnt already used.

So does this mean:"AT_Satchel

Allows you to attach satchels and explosive charges to objects and vehicles.

Needs CBA"

That we can attach satchels to the bottom of gunboats from underwater????????????????

test it out and let us know the results!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is rather sad that every soldier and civilian in A3 has asthma and needs inhalers to counter it. Whoever is selling these inhalers must be making heaps of money.

The script is using ATL coordinates and the eye position of the player. It's more likly related to a geolod/boundingbox issue of the Nimitz-port as the script checks for lineintersects withmodels and entitys.

Not yet. The script is just altering the position of a satchel after it is put on the ground. In ArmA3 you can't place satchel while in water so you can't place a satchel while diving. But you can attach explsoives to a boat from land or while standing in shallow water.

It is rather sad that every soldier and civilian in A3 has asthma and needs inhalers to counter it. Whoever is selling these inhalers must be making heaps of money.

The inhaler is meant to be a tempory bugfix and a parody of the current fatigue mechanics in A3. We obviously succeeded with the parody thing :D

Kudos on the AT_Satchel mod it works great, this will be very useful!

[spanishsurfer 58]

Where can I download the AT_Satchel mod? I went on the website and I couldn't find a link to it. Thanks.

[scruffy 22]

You have to download the whole pack, but it's not that big. You can extract only the @at_satchel folder if you don't want to use the other stuff.

[spanishsurfer 58]

Could you provide a link to the whole pack? When I go on your website I can't find it, thank you.

at_satchel.bikey does not appear to work. I keep getting kicked from my server when I try to join with the mod. I have 7 other mods that are working just fine, I believe the key is not configured properly.

--------------Edit------------

Just played with the mod via single player and it works well! Only problem I've noticed is that once I place a satchel on a vehicle, with AI driver, the AI will not move anymore. Tested this with a rifleman driving a hunter with a satchel attached.

FYI - the AT Satchel mod is not signed properly, had to open it and sign it myself.

[groshnak 1]

Satchel mod could use bit of tuning, it seems if you put a satchel horizontally on a wall or tank, most of the damage will be directed away from the wall or tank?

Could you email me the key/bisign file you made?

Will there ever be an option for underwater explosive placement in your at_satchel script/mod.

I know Arma 3 has disabled underwater explosive placement, I am just interested to see if you believe it possible to do within your script/mod.

Awesome work by the way :)

Sorry for the late reply.

I experimented with underwater placement, but unfortunatly my "raytracing" for attaching the satchels doesn't work underwater (engine limitation for the commands I use). I could fallback to my A1/A2 solution with "virtual" (aka not visible satchels) and a "Attach satchel to vehicle"-action but I don't like this solution.
