Hey EricJ

Some things I noticed with your weapon pack using RC20 and the development branch:

Warning Message: Cannot load texture p:\u100\data\wpn_m24_d_co.paa.

Probably wrong path somewhere in the model?

Warning Message: Picture \iar\data\ui\gear_u100_magazine_x_ca.paa not found

The base U100 mag uses picture = "\U100\data\UI\gear_u100_magazine_x_ca.paa"; but the three tracer mags have this other path. Is IAR another addon that I don't have?

There is another one about Robert Hammers M4 pack if that one is not active too.

Warning Message: No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgMagazines.RH_30Rnd_556x45_Mk262'.

I get why you don't want to add them as a requirement, but can you list all the dependencies to get rid of errors?

It seems none of your guns have sounds, but didn't try all. I didn't use the JSRS config. The modes are missing the following arrays

   soundBegin[] = {"begin1",0.25,"begin2",0.25,"begin3",0.25,"begin4",0.25};
  soundClosure[] = {"closure1",0.5,"closure2",0.5};

u100.pbo alone breaks all rifles in game, even standard BI ones. You changed the Rifle_Base_F parent class to Default there, so change that back to Rifle:

 class Rifle_Base_F: [color=#ff0000]Rifle[/color]
{
 class WeaponSlotsInfo;
};

Using u100_tmr_bipods.pbo changes it back, so hard to miss, but you should fix it anyway.

While diving into the config I noticed you could probably clean it up a bit by not using the same parent class for all your guns and declaring only the changes.

One last thing:

I'm having a lot of fun ragdolling infantry around with the M82 HE rounds, but can you dial down the amount of smoke a bit? Blastcore makes it even worse to see through. This is from the AA-12 HE ammo, put that inside the cfgammo bullet class:

  explosionEffectsRadius = 5;
 explosionEffects = "GrenadeExplosion";
 craterEffects = "ExploAmmoCrater";

Keep the updates coming, I'm looking forward to that M468 :)

Fixed all (I think) and what about the bipods?

And will add Robert Hammer's M4 Pack to the list for the magazine error.

you dont need to, just write in your own config for the bullet, then the magazine, and if you have a crate just fill the crate with the magazine reference. This is how I created all 3 magazines in RobertHammers M4 pack for me to test the ballistics on

*please note these are using my 5.56x45mm NATO V1.0 ballistics

Config Ammo:

class 556x45_B_Mk262: B_556x45_Ball
{
	hit = 10.17;
	typicalSpeed = 838.2;
	airFriction = -0.0006541367;
	caliber = 0.769;
	deflecting = 14;
	visibleFire = 2.5;
	audibleFire = 5;
	tracerStartTime = -1;
};

Config Magazines:

class 30Rnd_556x45_Mk262: 30Rnd_556x45_Stanag
{
	displayName = "5.56mm 30rnd STANAG Mk262 Mod 1";
	displayNameShort = "Mk262 Mod 1";
	ammo = "556x45_B_Mk262";
	initSpeed = 838.2;
};

Crate Config Transport Magazines:

class _xx_30Rnd_556x45_Mk262
		{
			magazine = "30Rnd_556x45_Mk262";
			count = 50;
		}

- Numerous fixes, and hopefully fixed the sound issue

- Robert Hammer M4 Pack now needed for the Mk262 magazine.

It is a good idea but I'll get with RobertHammer on that issue as it is his mod, not mine. For test purposes yeah it's great, but I also use VAS so it's a bit easier (in a way)

I was just using that as an example, its a good base to start with, I am not trying to steal any ones hard work (not that you were insinuating that).

[scruffy 21]

Wow, that was fast :)

I'll have a try later or tomorrow and get back to you.

[EricJ 724]

Yeah I don't have much going on so yeah, had to fix it.

And it was a great example spartan0536 just not totally practical :D I'm sure he wouldn't mind but...

[R4IDER 10]

Thanks for your mod and the frequent updates.

I have tried signing the lkr_u100_sound.pbo file but for whatever reason it fails the server signature check is anyone else having this issue?

nice update, again.

seems to have fixed the sound issues for me. I will get my squad to thoroughly test it and tell you the results.

Ps.: Would it be possible to make a stand-alone version of the scope you used on the M24 Desert? IMHO it is the best scope available for a marksman.

[EricJ 724]

I can see what I can do now that things are "settled" again.

[EricJ 724]

Try the PlayWithSix version above, maybe they got it taken care of?

[R4IDER 10]

Sadly PlayWithSix haven't signed the lkr_u100_sound.pbo file.

From past experience usually when files fail the signature check it is because of some error, what error I am not sure.

I have managed to get the file to pass a signature check by repacking it, for anyone else who uses signature checks here is a download link to the signed file.

Unfortunately I don't know how to sign files so I have no clue.

EDIT:

Nevermind found a tutorial to get keys working.

Try this http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=14124 it should help you out. Just make sure you're running it as the administrator.

[serjames 357]

Eric, sorry for this, I know how hard you've been working to get it right.

I'm sorry to say even with RC21 it's not working - a couple of us have tried it this morning with fingers crossed and no go.

If we all run the pack, then all the guns work ok. But if one of us doesn't have the u100 mod running i.e. a normal public player, then we cannot hear their non vanilla packs.

I will ask GDSN to take another look at it as I'm really keen to get your L115A3 into the missions.

Thanks for the efforts to get it right

Can't, it wasn't my file to start with, I'll get a hold of Lukop and it will be in a futureish update.
