Is the language bug associated with East vs West fixed? (Where all units except the Russians speak English) that's the only reason I don't want to get the mod... Also you should think about porting A2OA Arabic for your units :)

[katipo66 94]

Still seeing the "no ammo" appear from time to time, but it's not as severe as previously, are Hezbollah now wearing helmets by design? Just asking so I know I don't have any or issue.

not sure if that's a known one or not :)

Amazing mod, this is definitely be one of my favorites, but when you use the standard NATO Sniper unit with this mod activated, the rifle has no scope. The same goes for the AAF's Lynx rifle as well.

I believe the team that created the R3F Armes encountered a similar issue awhile back but was able to patch it.

If no one else is receiving this issue then just ignore this post and thanks!

UPDATE: Actually I think the problem is with a mod that this mod depends on: The East vs West mod. I have posted on that thread about this issue as well.

@FistoGames

I only ever had that bug with All In Arma. I have not seen it when I am not using AIA.

@Katipo66

The Hezbollah helmets are by design, they usually wear helmets. I used the balaclava/helmet to differentiate them from the SAA.

@serjames

Thanks, I'll take a look at it.

@distractor2004

Glad you like the mod. I'll see if it is my capabilities to fix the scope bug, but more realistically we'll have to wait for East vs West to get a patch.

[serjames 357]

still getting random Pants-jihadists... i.e. naked SAA units ?

SJ

[Drongo69 117]

The new Random.sqf files have a loop that checks if the unit has a uniform and should keep looping until it does. I can only assume that the culprit is the addUniform command which is local, whilst addHeadgear etc are global. Sometimes in coop I see naked units where the other player sees clothed units. The only sure-fire way I can think of to remove the problem is to have static uniforms and random headgear, vests and packs, not an ideal solution.

Ideally though BIS would make addUniform a global command.

[acoustic 82]

Is there any reason as to why your faction for me irregulars dont spawn vehicles for ALiVE?

[BF2_Trooper 0]

Western Black Ops Player is no longer spawning naked or with invisible limbs, but now he spawns in some weirdly textured uniform. It's got this large red and white checkered pattern.

[Drongo69 117]

@Acoustic

The most likely answer is that I have made a config error somewhere. I'll look into it.

@BF2_Trooper

That's a new one. They spawn fine for me. Is it happening in SP or MP?

[acoustic 82]

Hows the fix lookin?

Happening in MP. Here's a screenshot of me as a Western BlackOPs team leader -

[Drongo69 117]

Does it happen every time? Is it every class, or only one?

[Iceman_TF_Timberwolf 12]

Hey, I was thinking it would REALLY improve the immersion of this mod and make it much more realistic if the rebels spoke Arabic, along with the SAA. The voices can be fairly simply ported from Arma 2: OA, from what I understand. Kaelies has already done this successfully with the Russians and Czech speaking units of his mod, you could probably contact him for instruction if you don't know how to do it. Thanks!

@FistoGames

I'll look into it.

For anyone who is interested, I have released an SP/Coop dynamic mission generator featuring the SAA versus FSA on Takistan here.

[acoustic 82]

You check out the ALiVE issues?

[acoustic 82]

Yes, no?

[Drongo69 117]

I took a look but I can't see where I am going wrong regarding ALIVE. If anyone can spot the error, please let me know:

HI, Can you make the Egyptian army? there is already one for arma 2 in case you need ideas

thank you

[acoustic 82]

I would try posting in the ALiVE thread and asking them.

[Capt Childs 178]

Great mod, love it. DR Irregulars and now the ME Irregulars have been my stock opponents for my group games since you brought it out.

I'd really love to ramp up using the Qud faction however, for various scenario reasons. Only thing stopping me is their platecarriers have US flags on, and they're on the whole using the G3 as opposed to some AK variant.

What was your thinking behind that, and is there any way to make a change?

Loving the Qud mix of kit schemes, yet it's clearly a semi official uniform of types.

[Drongo69 117]

I didn't see that with the platecarriers, I'll fix it for the next release. In general, most of the uniform randomization scripts will removed in the next release (except for the irregulars). I just couldn't find a way around the BIS addUniform bug. I have also removed the texture problems with the Western Black Ops.

As for the G3, it is the main service rifle of the Iranian Army. I also wanted the Quds Force to be distinct from the other AK-toting factions.

[Capt Childs 178]

Brilliant, looking forward to see it.

Never knew that, learn something every day! ;)

In general, most of the uniform randomization scripts will removed in the next release (except for the irregulars). I just couldn't find a way around the BIS addUniform bug.

No need to. BIS finally made addUniform global with the rest of the addGear commands. It's currently in the latest dev branch.
