GX Addons v2

[geloxo 2]

Hi,

The old GX Addons have been updated and ported to Arma3. This script pack was formerly created for Arma2 and should be compatible with it as well, provided that you adjust the config in the scripts to use Arma2 vehicles and markers classnames. This pack is now including GX Zeus Advanced Script too. The old Arma2 version won´t be updated or supported any more, sorry. The updating was made to be used on our UST101 server coops but I decided to share it after we have fully tested it on MP. Please find the download link below:

Current public version: v2.4

NOTE: due to changes in the Support Cfg module since v2.21, existing missions created using the old version of the module need to be updated for the support dialog to work properly. In order to do so simply reopen the mission in editor, delete the module, place it again, adjust its configuration parameters (if needed) and save mission again.

hi there, really like this mod, one question do i need to download the ropes from an addon, just doesnt seem to deploy the ropes thanks

[geloxo 2]

Thanks for mirror Fox!

Steven, you don´t need ropes at all. In the past that action was set to be used with existing fastrope scripts from third parties. Heli will just adjust its flying to allow any fastrope action to be called via external scripts by players.

[kgino1045 12]

So is this addon can make vehicle as ACRE tower??

[geloxo 2]

Hi,

A new version of the addon is available (see first post). I have finally corrected the HT Air module to improve the flight model (now it runs much better) and introduced new features on it:

- Improved and smoother flight model calculations

- Anticollision feature during turnings

- New terrain avoidance system

- Dynamic formation changes based on predefined templates

- Missed waypoint avoidance

- Navigation based on bearing via intermediate sub-waypoints

Also the artillery system was improved and now it includes fully new sounds, such as guns firing from distance and shells flyby. Some other global corrections and cleaning was done. None of the changes affect any existing mission you created.

Tutorial mission is now in english and updated for the new features.

Pbo file sent to PlaywithSix wetransfer as well :D

updated to latest version

[sonsalt6 105]

update v2.2.1 available at withSIX. Download now by clicking:

[geloxo 2]

Hi,

We are currently testing a new base release (v2.24) which implements support configurable per sides. If everything works fine it will be public in the following days. This means you will not be able to use transports from the enemy but only your own side ones. The artillery is also side dependant. There is a new version of the Support Cfg module which now includes all options such as number of pieces for artillery and ammo types directly there in the mission editor.

This change in the module means the old missions will need to be updated (simply deleting and adding the module again). Sorry for this but I think it worths the effort as it allows much more flexibility for PvP missions and editors as any support configuration can be also updated in real time during mission via scripting or triggers. Manual and example mission are updated as well containing now all topics such as usage on GUI and full configuration process for advanced users.

Although I have made some minor fixes to the public version please report any issue you discover in the current version in order to correct it in this future release v2.24 :cool:

Thanks a lot

Hi all,

Latest release v2.24 is out now, after completing the testing in MP. Main change deals with support configurable by sides. Other minor tweaks also added. Please refer to first post for downloading files.

NOTE: due to changes in the Support Cfg module since v2.21, existing missions created using the old version of the module need to be updated for the support dialog to work properly. In order to do so simply reopen the mission in editor, delete the module, place it again, adjust its configuration parameters (if needed) and save mission again.

So to use this addon you need to make your own mission and include this file? sorry an am no mission maker and have no idea how to use these files. I was wondering if there is a stand alone version of this so i can use it on the a dynamic sandbox mission or something. I am sorry for seeming ignorant. Thank you.

[warlord554 2065]

Great work so far. However I assume the flight modules are for AI only? I wanted them to fly better formations with me but didn't get results like you video. Also the support is great, but I would like more direct targeting, such as where my crosshairs are or mapclick. The smoke is cool but I can't throw a smoke grenade across a valley, and when called on player posistion it just drops random bombs around me

[geloxo 2]

Yes dave, you need to include the modules in mission. Read manual and see example mission to find out how.

Warlord the flight model is for AI only, however you can fly with AI in formation too provided you follow the defined waypoints and speeds. For the support marking via smoke remember to set in the dialog the smoke marking option instead of caller position. Distance and angle will be referred to the smoke color you chose in the dialog

[phronk 898]

Cool addon, but I was wondering, will the AI aircrafts stay in formation if they're in a group with other AI aircrafts? Or is it possible to have the AI stay in formation with a player flying an aircraft?

[geloxo 2]

Only AI syncronized via the module will execute the script. You can however create subformations by using several modules and defining compatible paths on the modules (for instance parallel paths with a safe separation to avoid collisions between the subformations)

[geloxo 2]

Hi,

I have released an updated version of the mod to public, to include native support for Unsung and Iron Front mods. Now, when those mods are detected a predefined configuration of bombers is loaded. User can still override it in the mision init or during the gameplay. Also some radio ambient sounds where added to the support requests (can be disabled if you don´t like them) and the support dialog and overall code was reviewed too.

Tests where done in MP and with All in Arma mod without any known issues.

I hope you like it

Thanks Fox.

Kari, the pbo is inside the zip file but I will try to send the plain pbo to the updater in the evening if that's easier.

[pulstar 55]
