Dreadp1r4te 10 Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) Alright so we all know Arma 3 is lacking a bit in content at the moment, pending all those lovely DLCs from Brohemia, so in the meantime the wonderful modding community has worked magic and brought loads of content to the game. I'm a big proponent of all this, and I'm also a big proponent of large scale sandbox missions! Unfortunately, up until now, the two have been pretty much mutually exclusive, with a ton of missions that use only the core game, and a ton of content with no mission to employ it. Not anymore! I'd like to introduce... *insert drumroll here, or something...* The Titan Warfare Pack Still in its infancy, I suppose, but has enough content to warrant a release. The mod pack aims to fill some obvious glaring deficiencies in content by adding new toys, both equipment and vehicles, and also serves to (attempt) to correct various issues with the AI (like aimbot accuracy) in order to give a more dynamic, enjoyable, and more custom experience. This includes more side-specific weapons for Blufor and Opfor, including the beloved M4/M16 family of weapons and the classic always popular AK family for Opfor. While CSAT might not necessarily use AKs in real life, I felt there was something horribly wrong with the lack of AKs in Arma 3. This also includes a selection of optics designed specifically with these weapons in mind, so you have more choices in creating your kit when you head out into the field. These weapon models are of the highest quality, courtesy of RobertHammer and Toadie2k (HLC), with the AKs even including custom animations. Features: M4 and M16 family of carbines/rifles AK family of carbines/rifles F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet SU-35 Flanker E Blufor Leopard II MBT (Tan Kuma Reskin) MH-47E Chinook helicopter Magazine Repacking (because carrying 6 mags with 2 bullets each is no fun) ASR AI improvements ...and more to come! Future Plans: -AC-130 -MV-22 -Mi-24 Hind -Ka-50 Hokum -AH-64D Longbow -F-35B -Various HMMWVs -M1A2 Abrams -T-72 MBT -HK 416/417 family -HK G3 and G36 family -Steyr AUG family -M240b/M249 Dependencies: CBA A3 (Armaholic Link) If you'd like to try out the pack in a fun, dynamic sandbox environment, check out my BeCTI Warfare server.

They did all the work, I just integrated it into one package and modified the mission to put it all to good use. Be sure and drop them a thank you for their hard work and a donation if you feel so inclined! Be sure and check out my server which hosts this mod in my custom edition of BeCTI Warfare, based on Zerty's latest edit (adapted with permissions), with my own tweaks and modifications included!

3p0x1 74 Posted September 8, 2014 Wait, so what is the purpose of this? Just to consolidate the mods? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mordeaniischaos 3 Posted September 8, 2014 Unfortunately, I don't think this sort of thing is allowed. At least not without 100% permission from each of the addon creators and provided proof. Personally, I think that's a shame, because ArmA 3's mod scene is horribly fragmented and that makes getting everything you need a right pain in the ass. But unless you have permission to put all of these today and distribute them, this might cause some trouble. I could be wrong, and personally I hope we see addon creators working to integrate their content into packs like this, but you should, at the very least, double check the rules on this sort of stuff. Generally mod creators (especially when encouraged by certain competitions) are really touchy about people so much as distributing their content where they don't want it. I will say that if I understand your description, it sounds like you're trying to integrate this content deeper with the game, which I like the sound of. If you get permission for all this I'll keep an eye on it! It's a pain in the ass to get my small group of players to download 40 different weapon addons, one for each weapon system, and another dozen for vehicles. They don't much care for installing addons :p Again, I'm not entirely sure where the rules lie on this issue, and I have no idea if you have the needed permissions or not. Seems like your intentions are good so I can't imagine it should be too much of a problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miketim 20 Posted September 9, 2014 Did you ask permission? I don't believe you can just, pack peoples stuff and release it like this... Especially since Mod A could be a differently liscenced one then Mod B, and I think thats probably another issue.... :confused:.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dreadp1r4te 10 Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) Boy you guys are the copyright nazis aren't ya? Do you boys work for Apple? :p Yes, before anyone else asks, I have full permission to do what I'm doing from all authors. Relax. I'll be happy to post screenshots of the permissions given, if necessary. Did you ask permission? I don't believe you can just, pack peoples stuff and release it like this...Especially since Mod A could be a differently liscenced one then Mod B, and I think thats probably another issue.... :confused:.... You are somewhat correct here. I'm making no attempt to license this pack. In this case, the existing licenses of the original content (by the original authors) applies, with their expressed consent that I use their existing license in this fashion. This means that I can redistribute their work in its original form with their permission, but I may not modify it, and while you're free to redistribute this modpack (say, as a mirror) you may not alter it, as YOU do not have permission to redistribute their work (unless of course you obtain it from them.) I hope that clears that up. The purpose of all this is not necessarily just to consolidate them, but also provide a server that consistently hosts them, allowing people who do enjoy them all in one place to come and play with them, all in one place. If interest is broad enough, I'll add more servers. The server in my signature will always be hosting this modpack, even as I update it. I compiled the pack with BeCTI Warfare in mind (which, before you ask, yes I have permissions to modify) but I can see it being applicable in a wide range of missions, and I'm happy to do what I can to support that. If you have suggestions on what missions you'd like to see this in, please feel free to let me know. Edited September 9, 2014 by Dreadp1r4te Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teeha 22 Posted September 9, 2014 I would edit your first post to explain that the "pack" isn't made up of content you made but rather you put it together to consolidate the mods into one "Addon". That way people don't think you're taking peoples content since someone else on the forums did that recently by taking someone's addon, renaming it, and claiming it as their own. Just so people misunderstand your intentions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dreadp1r4te 10 Posted September 9, 2014 I haven't claimed anything as my own. What I've done is taken the iniative to contact other people who've worked very hard to make content for this game, asked for their permission to release them as a pack, and provided a server that pack can be used on, including integrating into a fantastic mission, which I also contacted the Dev of to make sure it was alright. I don't think any part of my post can be construed as attempting to steal someone else's work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While I may not have created these mods or the mission, I DID integrate them into the mission, along with other tweaks and changes that people suggested on my server (yes, all with permissions, although I DON'T have a screencap of that one because the Jammy Warfare site got moved. Sorry. I'm sure Zerty will vouch for me if needed.) and I'm also paying money every month out of my own wallet so that you, the community, have a place to play and enjoy said mods.

badder 10 Posted September 9, 2014 It would be nice if you could post links to screenshots of these permissions. C'mon, you guys are more concerned than the authors itself, don't worry, if he is lying (which I don't believe), the authors will contact the administrators for sure. Nice job man! Great initiative!

John Spartan 89 Posted September 9, 2014 What OP here is trying to do is create a downloadable pack of his favourite mods in one collection for his mission/server. Maybe tread is mislabelled somehow, that creates confusion about authors rights and permission's being stolen. From Saul's and my point of view it's not a problem [with FA18's and SU35 PBO's] as long as person who creates such collection is not changing/modifying original PBO content, and distributes that with same licence as it was released [Creative Commons Licence: Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs]. I can understand that some people are suspicious straight away, but in this particular case author of this idea shows initiative with a right approach. We created these mods so people can have fun, and if someone creates a mission with these mods and mods are conveniently packed as one download why not. @Dread, looking forward to a warfare style mission, I always lowed CTI mode.

Dreadp1r4te 10 Posted September 10, 2014 Thanks for the kind words, John_Spartan! The mission is already up on the server in my sig, and your beautiful F/A-18 is available to Blufor and Su-35 available to Opfor. Feel free to check it out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eymerich 11 Posted September 10, 2014 Good work! I like the idea... A single pack, if you don't change the .pbo and give right credit to the autorhs, is the best way to go in my opinion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dreadp1r4te 10 Posted September 10, 2014 I'll be continuing to add mods to the pack as I find them and get permission, and if I develop my own (which I may) then they'll likely be included as well. I'm trying to stick to the theme of military equipment likely to still be around in the modern and 2035 time frame, so while you won't see Panzers, you're welcome to suggest new mods that you like that may fit will.
