EricJ Release thread

[EricJ 765]

I honestly have no plans to change the position of the hands as it's again, a BIS anim and works quite well with the weapon. While there are real world theories regarding vertical foregrip placement, in the end it's a matter of user preference as well. Besides game-wise (like a lot of things) it doesn't make any difference as I could place the anim and foregrip twenty miles away from the weapon and it'll still shoot the same. So it's mainly just a graphical thing and does not affect weapon handling, or any dynamics in anyway like real ones do.

And in the hubbub the HK418 (went with that, makes sense):

Wax On:

Wax Off:

I know they're flip down but I really like the clean lines opposed to the "Chunky" look flip up sights sometimes give (Or I can throw the Magpul ones on) but if you all prefer it (Yes I do at least like some input on that, anims as said are staying as is).

That is in my opinion perfect, just perfect;)

HK rifle looks great to, it got down just to personal preferences but that grip in SCAR is in ideal position to (animation case aside). Disappearing irons is a good call to espetially when player decides to mount something bigger on top rail like Leupold Mark 4 LR/T, AN/PVS-10 or AN/PAS-13.

Outstanding work.

Regards.

I agree, I mean common sense dictates "just flip them down" but I like it so much clean without anything but a scope, so I'll stick with it for now. And that's one reason I decided to go with disappearing sights as you mentioned, they would clip and it would be a never-ending battle to get it "right" so I think once in my life I can live with it.

I still have to add some more stuff to the stock (just a couple added furniture bits) but I think tomorrow I'll get it out and see what errors can be found.

nice scar came out good

[taumargin 13]

I agree with Bolo for the type of rifle it is and it's SSR role, iron sight's seem a bit redundant.

[EricJ 765]

Agreed :D

Okay I wanted to incorporate the new ballistic values from Spartan0536 but haven't gotten to it, I think getting the current version out now again gives me "breathing room" I need to work on incorporating new additions, fix any caught errors, and add those SureFire mags. All I have to do now is get the inventory images done and she'll be uploaded.

That s a great news and great update of the pack,

BTW regarding catching up the errors I was writing it here sometime ago but not sure if it got lost in the traffic or not so I could be repeating myself - sorry;)

AA12 HE ammo - it would be great if it s trajectory could resemble more of a projectile fired from the shotgun then arc of the hand grenade. that s it.

it looked funny when I tried to hit target 50 meters in front of me using HE ammo and had to point the gun downward almost to my feet.:)

It may be the zero issue again rather than just ammo oddities. Since the weapon inherits from the base U100 then it shoots as if it's probably at 300m or more, so I'll have to adjust the zero on that with the Thompson values and that should fix that issue.

And that seemed to be the problem, left it set at 75m and was hitting targets by simply aiming without having to put the barrel downwards.

RC50

- Fixed mirror-mapped texture on AA-12T (thanks to adlabs6)

- Added Mk20 SSR

- Added a fictional "HK418", which accepts only AK-47 magazines (just my weapons pack). And uses the AK-47 sounds currently in lieu of any other sound for now.

- Fixed numerous typos in the configs (thanks to Bolo861)

- Added distinctive Mk20 sound courtesy of taumargin

- Fixed rotating muzzleflash for the L115x

- Fixed zero for AA-12T so HE Ammuniton has a flatter trajectory

I just realized that the "Sand appearing when shooting a weapon" still is in effect, I'll have to take some time for the next version to fix that issue.

Hi Eric - Using your current build and with my current mod list selecting M4 Carbine Custom in the virtual armoury is causing crash to desktop (previously did not). When running the basic required mods - two M4 Carbine Customs appear in the Virtual arsenal, both with MG thumbnails.

[EricJ 765]

Eh? Okay hold on... weird.

Picture issues:

I could have sworn I noticed and took care of it, and fixed but apparently not before, but now it's fixed.

Eric change your aa12 he ammo class simulation to shotBullet if youd like to simulate better trajectory or a slug

[EricJ 765]

Okay I'm uploading a same version just to be sane for now since it's just released, but:

- Inventory image paths properly put on for the M4 and M4A1 Custom weapons

- Build did not CTD upon clicking the weapons (and being uploaded, it seems it randomly does that for some reason, God knows why as I don't).

Will do, will be in next update.

---------- Post added at 00:24 ---------- Previous post was at 00:15 ----------

Next up is some ammo tweaking and some other stuff but I have another A3 related project in the works for a client so going to take some time off of this and get that out and then get back into the public pack.

[Evil-One 18]

Looks like the weapon thumbnails are correct but still a consistent crash to desktop on the carbine custom M4. I will play around with the mods to see if I can see a conflict.

[EricJ 765]

It probably is as I clicked on both weapons, no CTD before uploading it.

Nice!

I love this mod, good stuff

[jinougaf 11]

I missed everything this week...just got time to test the new MK20.And is that HK418 the SR-47?

When I have time this evening I ll check it out.

Check loading order of the mods and apply this virtual arsenal fix , run it after CBA in the mod loading order:

I to had random crashes problem in virtual arsenal while running multiple mods applaying this fixed the problem.

I hope it will help but it may be something unrelated.

I missed everything this week...just got time to test the new MK20.And is that HK418 the SR-47?

It s redux semi-fictional (not for long I think ) version of hk416 running on 7.62x39 made by Eric by my request same deal as SR-47 (apparently someone already made proper SR-47 for arma 3 I ve seen it on some server and screens of TRYK uniforms mod, but didn t released it to the public, so it s unavailable. Eric s HK version is next best thing).

BTW I think that HK will release 416 version in 7.62x39 eventually - everybody does that with AR s this days starting from KAC, Colt and, SIG and finishing on Olympic Arms and PWS (the best conversion in my opinion).

Thanks! I've been taking it rather slow lately, doing some other things to keep me busy so tomorrow I should slap on some iron sights and whatnot. And the muzzleflashes are working again so maybe I missed an update or so but it looks to being back to normal.

Unfortunately muzzle flashes still don t work as intended, but if You have suppressor mounted on your weapon and You unmount it, the muzzle flashes magically appear.

Let s hope that BIS wizards will fix it someday;)

[EricJ 765]

Bleagh yeah... I don't know what the deelio is but I thought that it was working fine (but I did take off the muzzle flash suppressor so it did "work") but apparently still borked... maybe it's something i missed again but we'll see.
