Aplion is out ... (open A2 imports content)

[Αplion 1122]

Hi guys,

as I'm modding since the beggining of ArmA 1 era, I've decided to take a long brake.

In fact I'm very disappointed by the way BIS is working on ArmA 3 as, from my point of view, they only seem to be caring about minor bugs fixing, doing almost nothing to improve game's main engine, performance and AI behavior (which are the most serious issues IMHO).

Anyway this post doesn't made on purpose to be against BIS but to inform all of you about my current status and who knows at the future if some serious improvements will be done, I'll be back on business.

Based on that, I thought that it will be better to freely give to the community all my ArmA 2 imports unbinarized, so anyone wants to be able to continue and improve my so far work on that subject. After all, these models are BIS property.

So here you are ...

ArmA2 US Helis Unbinarized : http://www.mediafire.com/download/cibb7npbawqnebv/HAFM_ArmA2_Helis_UNBINED.rar

ArmA2 HMMWVs Unbinarized : http://www.mediafire.com/download/0wp92ahm9bdwr2y/HAFM_ArmA2_HMMWV_UNBINED.rar

ArmA2 UAZs Unbinarized : http://www.mediafire.com/download/px9shilcp21c1x6/HAFM_ArmA2_East_Wheeled_UNBINED.rar

ArmA2 UK vehicles Unbinarized : http://www.mediafire.com/download/p1k9s9ymmp3pcth/HAFM_ArmA2_UK_Wheeled_UNBINED.rar

Note 1 : these files are given "as is" and no further help will be provided by my side.

Note 2 : anyone wants to make changes on these files, is free to proceed at will.

Thanks for all your hard work Aplion. I hope you aren't away for too long !

[mistyronin 1181]

ευχαÏιστώ πολÏ! Thank you very much Aplion for all what you have done for this community!

I personally enjoy all of your addons, and use them most of the time.

Hope that BI will improve the game enough so you can come back and enjoy it too.

[PVT Watt.J 14]

Very sad to see you go.

[Belbo 462]

Tough to hear. Has your frustration grown over time up to this point or has something triggered you?

[nikiforos 450]

Skilled modders are getting fewer and fewer and I wonder what the reason might be :rolleyes:

[GrumpyRhino 30]

I have spend many hours with your addons. They have added many hours of great gameplay to my arma-experience.

I hope you will come back soon.:pray:

[LykosMactire 298]

He isnt leaving for good (unless he somehow gets banned while gone which i dont see happening) he said so in post, but its our duty as the ArmA Community to follow up on his wishes

[petek 62]

Thanks for all your work - much appreciated

cheers

Hey brother we all need a break, I took a long one after OFP. ;) thanks for your quality work, and that was real cool of you to release unbinarized helos. Thanks again

[cleggy 297]

Sorry to see you go, but thanks for your fine work.

I'm sure your models will be of great help to those of us still struggling to understand it all

Enjoy your retirement!

[LSD_Timewarp82 21]

Arma would be nothing without their Modding Community and more and more Modders are taking a long break in case of the devs importance to choice what they fix. It´s really sad.

Take your time Aplion, you deserved it :)

[theevancat 277]

It's tough to see you go: I've used a lot of your addons in the past. However, with these ubinarized sources I'm sure that this'll be a great educational opportunity and a wonderful resource for us all.

Take as much time as you need, man.

[PolyG 69]

Thanks for all the help you've rendered unto me Aplion! Hope you come back and make us proud!

[james_manring 1]

It was great having contact with you and trying to help work on some of your aircraft. You might as well consider releasing those balanced unbinarized models here. I can send you a zip of them again if you would like.

[chrisb 196]

Its great to see these buildings for A3, top quality. However, not all are AI friendly, most though are, so your forgiven..;)

Thanks for sharing these.:)

Edit: Only just read the first post, its a great shame you feel that way, but completely understandable. Many thanks for sharing your great work.

[Dwarden 1125]

thanks again for this great contribution to the modding community, we will try our best to address your concerns too

[Brainbug 10]

that's definitely a loss, I hope it's just a break and you are not gone for good (or "bad" actually).

[chops 111]

I can sympathise with your frustrations Aplion. Sorry to see you go, but thanks for the parting gesture. These MLODs will help me in my own modding endeavours.

[SidanHeath 10]

Sorry to see you go Aplion, one of the best modders on the forum if you ask me.

I am sure these files will be very helpful to new modders all over the forum.

[ravendk 25]

This is a very sad day. I am very sorry to see you go, but i understand your fusteration.

You have done some very good work and by releasing your source hopefully others will have a fighting chance to honor your work.

Thank you very much for your time, your work and this big help. You will be missed.

[eggbeast 3685]

hey ap, come have a fly with us in unsung soon buddy

i'm keen to show you the fruits of your labours in full force, as the intruder and F4 swoops in for the kill...

i've downloaded your models as i'm working on some brit stuff at the moment. we may add something to your stock here.

anyway, i share your frustrations, as many do, and wish you a good rest man. i also feel A3 is currently too big a lift to try to make re modding. i'm juts sticking with A2 for now and loving what we're doing in it!

so yeah, drop by man, and speak soon.

tha ce xanatho pali (i think)
