Nichols 243 Posted August 29, 2017 Trying to crack the reason for all my loadouts on my Blufor guys transitioning over to the vanilla weapons systems instead of the SMA weapons they are coded with via sqf's. Hoping it might just be a problem with AuburnAlumni's NATO replacement mod and not with this mod creating conflicts I can't figure out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I left the default vanilla weapons. I have gotten a ton of requests to do a SMA version which I'll put together as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theevancat 277 Posted September 8, 2017 Alright, quick update from the field. I have been in Tajikistan for about a week and I won't be getting back until December. Development didn't continue when I was in America in late August since I wasn't able to get set up to transfer the data from my desktop (which is now locked in a locker 6500 miles away from me) to my laptop. As such, when I get back, I'm gonna have some catching up to do with two DLCs and probably a whole bunch of other junk. As for @jarrad96, feel free to shoot up an ALiVE PBO. Once I get back I can integrate it fully into the mod so it's all in one place and there doesn't have to be a wonky workaround that has to be separately downloaded. @Nichols, I've been out of the loop for a pretty long time and don't know about any of these newfangled replacement packs. I tried to keep the replacements limited to just the units, which are replaced with new uniforms. Therefore, if something else tries to replace the vanilla CSAT uniform, then there's two addons trying to replace the uniform and weird stuff happens. I don't touch any of the weapons in my mod, so that should be okay. Thanks for your guys' patience with me. I know this isn't really shiny and new and gets more outdated by the week, but I'm trying to get it all sorted once I have time. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nichols 243 Posted September 22, 2017 @theevancat no worries bud....do your work over in the foreign lands and we will be all good. In fact we will keep hammering on your project and several others to make sure we can find plenty of bugs for you to work through when you return. :p Seriously bud it is no problem. You pack is a bunch of fun and really does help make some contemporary missions a lot easier and much more fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theevancat 277 Posted November 8, 2017 Okay folks, just a quick message from the wonderful land of the Tajiks to prove that I am not dead. I've come close a couple of times, but that's just because I'm 20 and I make questionable choices. I will still be home in December but unlikely to get the project rolling back until January. Right now the situation has me like, squatting on a cot in the storage room. No way I can hook up my machine until I get a permanent room in January. I have made mod progress, though (mostly through outsourcing.) PolyG is fixing some bugs that popped up here and there, while Night515 has generously given me the source for his ported MLRS system. Both of these men are the man. Go check out their mods. I am making some adjustments to it, because I discovered that I still have Blender here and can set up a model and write a config to speed up the process when I get home. I got you with a big, rough tease that's not at all dressed up (but I know you still like it that way.) Reveal hidden contents Still a lot more work to be done on it, but the principle remains the same. It's a truck-based mobile MLRS. Also, I figure I'll tease you again with some previously unreleased pictures: Reveal hidden contents What? You mean the thing named "Carrier" ("Hamel") in the Persian language wasn't actually a plate carrier? Yeah, I fixed that. I have a list I'm working through (I promise), but barring anything whacky I'll get this updated and back online. I know it's a little behind the curve, and I feel like an old dude trying to keep up relevancy with the cool new things (TM) that kids are playing with these days. But whatever. You haven't gotten rid of me yet. 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theevancat 277 Posted January 31, 2018 Okay, so here's the news. The update, now christened 1.6, is almost ready. I've got most of what I want to do out of it, and I'm ironing out bugs. I want to try and get it out within a week, but life happens (TM) so please don't hold me to too many close deadlines. Anyways, I have a few more screenshots now that I've been testing out my photography skills. Feel free to add your input to this, and let me know your thoughts! Once again, I should have a final product out soon. Don't worry, I'm not out of the game yet. 12 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theevancat 277 Posted February 2, 2018 Alright, fellas, here's the final 1.6 release on Steam!

corporal_lib[br] 396 Posted February 2, 2018 Armaholic is fine as far as I´ve been concerned.... and steamWmods are acting strange lately for me, if an Google drive or dropbox or armaholic link mirror would be possible, I´d prefer, but I wouldn´t advocate against SWS, just ask for extra mirrors Glad to see you back on our "cozy" community theevancat, hope your military school life is fine =) Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Otter8tor 13 Posted February 26, 2018 Does anyone else have an issue with the Abda FMV? If you drive it into the ocean, it just sticks to the ocean floor and turns into an 80kph underwater transport! It doesn't float, it doesn't stop... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grollig 19 Posted March 19, 2018 Hello ! Right now we're really enjoying this mod in our small community. However there (still) seems to be a compatibility issue with RHS: Since we installed the CSAT Modification Project (latest version, 1.6.0.2, last updated 2018-02-10, download from armaholic) we get the following error on the first mission start after server reboot (dedicated): No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/RHS_UH60M_base/AnimationSources/HitGlass1.source'. This problem was reported back in 2015 by someone else on the RHS feedback tracker and was descibed as related to @tec_CSAT: http://feedback.rhsmods.org/view.php?id=628 Both mods run fine together however. We just have to restart the first mission once after server reboot to overcome the initial errormessage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theevancat 277 Posted April 12, 2018 With Tanks DLC out and in the open, I've been busy trying to update the mod. Obviously I've fallen behind on work because real life kicks my ass on a daily basis, but I have been fixing some bugs with the project in my limited free time. (The Vodnik is being difficult, someone pls halp.) But, when I get tired/frustrated with bug fixing I try to add in some quick things that I've always wanted to, since I'm trying to add variety and characterization to the force. My ultimate goal is for the faction to become less of "generic bad guys from Iran", which the current art direction in the vanilla game lends itself to, and more accurately incorporate some variety to reflect the fact that these guys are people, not muppets to shoot at. So: Reveal hidden contents Shemaghs, usually predominantly white or black, have been seen on Iranian troops and officers. The clipping has since been fixed: https://i.imgur.com/LAB21zs.jpg Working on a belt kit for patrol troops to give longer-ranged missions some extra carrying capacity and visual differentiation. The positioning on these have since been fixed: https://i.imgur.com/UHjGqti.jpg Working on updating the drone fleet, inspired by the Saeqeh drone that has made headlines over Israel last month: Other than that, Jets DLC assets are getting roundels and Farsi lettering, alongside the new drone. I'm gonna fix the Navy pattern to be more in line with the vanilla blue colorway. I'm also working on adding in the Orange DLC's new drones, making sure those are all updated and ready to put in. Overall, a lot of just updating going on here. If there are any problems, keep letting me know and I'll keep trying to fix them. 7 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wsxcgy 1960 Posted April 12, 2018 love your idea of fleshing out and like humanizing CSAT, because what bohemia hands us are a bunch of techno insects to shoot at, rather than a real faction. and grounding them to more recognizable equipment is real cool. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grollig 19 Posted April 13, 2018 Glad to hear you are still working on this great mod as your time allows. Also like the idea of putting more versatility into the CSAT faction and their avatars. Maybe in between you can find a few minutes to investigate the error i described above. Meanwhile I found out that the CSAT_Keftar.pbo is directly related to the incompatibility and the error message. No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/RHS_UH60M_base/AnimationSources/HitGlass1.source'. If I remove the CSAT_Keftar.pbo the error msg will not show up. The RHS devs assume that your mod might be overwriting some base classes, leading to the described error message which forces us to reload the first mission including a RHS Blackhawk helicopter after rebooting our server. See here: http://feedback.rhsmods.org/view.php?id=628 Thank you, and please keep up the good work on your mod! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There should be no problem anymore, and I loaded a whole bunch of assets (Blackhawk and Keftar included.) A lot of my stuff was done when the mod was initially created... It was 2014/2015 and I was like, 17/18 and not that great at coding. Going through and reading it: I had no idea what I was doing, haha. That's where a lot of these conflicts come from, including the most recent issues with tank interiors. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know there is one that utilized some of your assets, but it doesn’t feel as complete. Of course it would be a a significant project and this is by no means a request lol.
