Arma 3 Coop: Vietnam

-devil's edit-

So, today, I'd like to present to you an new version of the A3C Vietnam modification. I got permission from Alduric to continue working on it and to release my work as I see fit. That being said, I want to not only improve it, but add to it as well. Overall, I want your experience with the Arma 3 Co-op Vietnam mod to be as authentic to the war as possible so I have begun getting help from other community members as Alduric had done before me. Here's what you're getting:

Current Features:

2 NATO factions: The US and Australia

3 PACT factions: The NVA, and northern and southern segments of the Vietcong.

4 Land vehicles

3 Helicopters

15 weapons

Planned Features:

More land vehicles, including tanks

More helicopters

More factions

Planes, including but not limited to: F-4, F-86, Mig-21, Mig-17

Support weapons, such as mortars and artillery

Please note that a lot of this can't be done without some outside help, if you would like to do some modeling, texturing, configing, etc. it would be much appreciated

Known issues:

- MCC incompatibility: will cause all Blufor units to kill each other when spawned by the MCC console (I know how to fix it, just give a little bit of time)FIXED in 1.18r

>A work around would be to use the Zeus function in MCC, however you cannot just simply use Zeus

- MCC incompatibility: Blufor units show up as EAST (related to the previous MCC incompatibilty)FIXED in 1.18r

- The M113 does not like to drive on the maps (this is a map issue, not an M113 issue)

- The UH1H still shows the M240 model (however the weapon characteristics are that of the M60)

- The CH47's ramp does not animate, nor does the landing gear

- There are no wreck models

- Both helo's still use the little-bird sounds

- US uniforms all have the airborne patch instead of their relative unit patchesFIXED in 1.18r

- There are no spawnable groups yet

- All PACT factions are under "Vietcong"FIXED in 1.18r

- FN-FAL sounds missing FIXED in 1.18r

- Reload sounds missiong

- No Keys or signed files (well, the maps have gone untouched, but that's it)

Changlog:

1.18r

- Massive classname organization: see the documentation provided.

- reduced dispersion on pistiols and smgs so bullets no longer fly at 45 degree angles to the direction of the gun

- Added ammo boxes for both sides (vietnam box still a wip, but it's getting there) under Ammo

- You can now spawn empty Vietnamese vehicles

- Trained soldiers to not use backpacks with random launchers attached.

- Found missing FN-FAL sounds...(my bad)

- US and ANZAC now trained to fight the communists instead of each other when using MCC

- Correct patches now distributed to the US troops (don't ask me how this happened as I'm not really sure)

- Added Armor crewman to the US and NVA (WIP)

- Added leadership units to the NVA

- Renamed a bunch of units

- The USSR has now distributed RPK's to the NVA and Vietcong

- Smaller fixes not worth mentioning

v1.10r

- Added OH-6 Cayuse as a light transport/observation helicopter

- Replaced all weapon sounds (special thanks to LJ)

- Trained medics to apply medical aid (and gave them the tools to do so)

- Changed up the weapons so they all feel unique. This includes

> increased cone of fire

> new ammunition types

> realistic rates of fire

> realistic ammunition velocities

> new ammo penetrations

- Began fixing flight characteristics of UH1H

- Began fixing flight characteristics of CH47

- Edited M113's driving characteristics to be more realistic

v1.00

Congrats on the first release of your improved version!

I haven´t tested the vehicles but I´ve tested all weapons and I´ve noticed they all doesn´t have reload sounds and the FN FAL doesn´t have firing sounds (probably pre-bootcamp dlc issue), besides that, it´s great to see your improvements, hope to get some servers running vietnam missions (I´ve counted 4 on steamworkshop, let them come!)

cheers!

[mistyronin 1181]

It's good that someone continues Alduric good work in that mod :)

[devilslayersbane 28]

Yes, reload sounds are missing currently. Thank's for the heads-up on that. I knew I was forgetting something weapon related...

[corporal_lib[br] 396]

Don´t forget to fix the FAL firing sound - the only I´ve noticed, all the rest sounded right when shooting... ohhh, just check the shotgun cus I didn´t tested it lol)

cheers =D

[Guest]

What are the requirements? Same as the original?

If so can AiA instead of A3MP be used?

I will post our mirror anyway but any info about the above would be appreciated.

Thanks, pages updated :)

AIA TP is compatible (and now recommended) I'll update with requirements.

[hg2012trigger 13]

very nice. I love vietnam addons. Even the Unsung Mod ArmA II was very cool. Good luck

Please make compatible with agm

Edited December 5, 2014 by HG2012Trigger

[devilslayersbane 28]

I'll just keep a list of future compatibilities (not in order of importance):

AGM

MCC

Zeus

I am very glad to see work is continuing on this mod. I am a fan of Vietnam era ARMA.

If I may make one request, I would like to see more work on the NVA & VC uniforms. NVA in Khaki or Olive uniforms and VC in a mix of black pajamas and one off military fatigues. I appreciate you have your own priorities in the mod and limited time and resources, I just wanted to put in a wish for a more authentic looking NVA/VC to shoot.

thank you for the update.

Yeah, right now my main priority is getting in some content. I'll definitely be looking into getting some better NVA and vietcong uniforms, but as of right now, getting in some spawnable squads and such is taking a bit of priority.

:) yes we need spawnable squads too.

Excellent.

It seems that MCC will not work at all now, it was better before where you could use it for the Vietcong side, it was still much better than not having it. Please fix the M113 so it can drive and not get stuck.

I think this has great potential, keep up your good work, I know a number of people would love to see this mature.

I'm working on MCC compatibility. You can use MCC's Zeus functionality as a workaround as of now. Unfortunately, with the limited testing that I've done it seems that the M113 only gets stuck on the vietnam terrains, and not on any of the BI terrains. Confirmation of that would be great, though.

[Oily_Goat 10]

Nice to see an Australian faction. Us Aussies are normally overlooked in many mods.

[Polygon 11]

This is great!

Devil, have you thought of cooperating with Unsung MOD team?

[devilslayersbane 28]

Haha, a lot of this isn't my work. I'm just working with configs right now because it's the one thing that I know the most about. I don't know really how I'd work on a team at this point in my modding "career" if you'll call it that. If they were to allow me to, I'd definitely give it a shot.

[mazza 1]

Is there meant to be any missions with the download?

[devilslayersbane 28]

Is there meant to be any missions with the download?

Not at the moment. I'm not happy enough with the state of the mod yet to put any into it yet. Next release will have at least one or two "showcase" style missions. Promise.

[Tyl3r99 41]

This is great!

i haven't heard the unsung mod team over to arma 3 as of yet unfortunately

[imager6 40]

I uploaded the mod to my server that I rent and am unable to load it due to a bad key, any suggestions?

I knew I was forgetting to mention something...There are no keys yet. I'm going to wait until at least next release to do so.

[imager6 40]

Thanks for the quick reply. I have people and missions ready, just need that key when you publish it. I am using the M113 from the Red Hammer MOD till you get your's working. Thanks for your work.

Of course. Remember, I have opened this up to the community, if you can offer some assistance and desire to do so, my email is in the first post...i hope it's the right one.

Edit: email is correct.

[devilslayersbane 28]

This is just a warning, this next update is going to be pretty big config changer. There's going to be a lot of classnames change. Be prepared for your missions to not work. I promise, this is going to make things easier on my end and hopefully your end if your scripts are classname dependent. I'll do my best to include documentation on what all changed, but that's going to all depend on the time I have so no promises.
