ATLAS Mod: LHD Plus

[j0nes 194]

I am proud to release the stand alone LHD from the ATLAS total modification from the MANW contest. While the rest of the mod has yet to go public, this part of the mod is something that we feel could be useful to some of the naval units out there.

while it is not drivable, it does contain a large walkable interior as well as a functioning well deck. I hope to continue making improvements on the model and the useability of this ship, just know that updates may be few and far between.

the ship spawns with CIWS mounted on it, if you would like to disable the spawning of these, use the variable

ATLAS_Official = true;

Don´t know if that´s just me but the download is extremely slow with Dropbox while other things work just fine. Hope I will be able to test it soon (Downloading with 22 KB/s :P)

[warlord554 2065]

Took me 2mins to download on a samsung s3. Nice job i look forward to testing her out

[AIF_Infantrymen 264]

-bridge

-stairway from the top to the hanger and well deck

-crew quarters

-briefing room

Similarly as slow, looking forward to a mirror...@ J0nes: I apologize for having taken two months to reply to you after your last PM, but considering that you've pulled off what we previously discussed, could you tell us more about your current roadmap beyond bugfixes?

[deltagamer 612]

Awesome work, looking forward to trying it out!

I think the biggest things are

-stairs/ladder from well deck to hanger deck

-sounds for elevators and well deck doors

-make the weapon spawn more consistent (sometimes they can spawn in the middle of the deck because the undersea terrain is so choppy in places and messes with setpos)

-adding crew served .50 cals, and remote controlled 30mm autocannons like the real LHD has

-realigning the interior lighting

-damage modeling

a bridge would be nice, but considering im not really looking for the ship to be driveable, it would be a lot of work for the occasional hostage rescue/pirate takeover mission. Also right now, Ive been using the room in the tower off the flight deck as the briefing room.

quick note as well, the elevators work 99% of the time, but vertical movement has always been an issue with arma. if you are not in a vehicle, make sure you keep moving your character while the elevator is in motion or you may clip through the floor. working on fixes, but right now thats how it works

[deltagamer 612]

-sounds for elevators and well deck doors

You could use the helicopter ramp sounds for the well deck doors and lifts

Can you spawn it with zeus?

Why not use attachTo with set, specific memory points for the weapons? I also agree with just using existing "ramp" sounds for now -- you can replace them later. I'd like to PM or message you on Skype about this LHD. :)

BUG: if you spawn a anphibious vehicle in the water flooded segment it will not be able to move

[deltagamer 612]

Would there be any chance to make the well deck raise/lower? It would make logistics a little bit better and easier to use.

[sup3r6f0ur 2]

Hey guys. I absolutely love this LHD, way better than the ArmA 2 one and the ArmA 2 ports. I made a little template for placing objects on the ship. I'll be submiting it on Armaholic but in the meantime, you can download it here if you need it right away.

For some reason, this mod disables the ability to use any explosives. I've tried running it with other mods and by itself and am still unable to plant explosives. It also replaces all of the explosives except for the satchel. Engineers can still disarm, but any unit can't place them.

[j0nes 194]

@Chortles for whatever reason, when using attachto on the weapons, when they move their movement is extremely choppy, which makes it impossible for them to track targets properly. although I havent tested it since the helicopters DLC and something with the rope attaching may have changed that

@AngelWingGamingJacob & @deltagamer as far as the well deck goes, I tried to find a happy medium. make it too deep in the water and high waves will flood the whole deck, make it too high out of the water an vehicles cant get in the ramp on the outside. In real life a believe ballast tanks are filled at the rear of the ship which actually sinks the entire ship deeper into the water to lower the well deck, which in arma isnt really possible, but Ill keep trying to find solutions! I would recommend just spawning boats in the 'moon pool' and any amphib vehicles on the dry part

@JKNuke12 thanks for catching that! ill have that fixed in the next couple days. ATLAS has its own integrated explosives system, for which the vanilla explosives placement is disabled. The disabling is done in the ATLAS_Weapons.pbo which is included with the LHD for the CIW Systems on the LHD, so I just forgot to take the explosives part out

[warlord554 2065]

Ballasts tanks may possibly simulated by setting the mass. Perhaps run a simple action script changing the mass. You might have to do the entire ship because i dont know how it would act dipping the rear down. Method has had decent success with submarines

[dixon13 15]

Does the Phalanx weapon system shoot down incoming projectiles as well, such as, missiles and etc?

[kgino1045 12]

Can you spawn it with zeus?

+1 this

[SpartanSix 367]

So I went a little ape shit on your LHD mate, the walls do not like you shooting at them.

Curious, I hadn't noticed that... then again, I had intended for any weapons to be placed manually and didn't have in mind what you're doing.

Did you find any "applicability" in the LPD-29 mod's well deck?

[seeking 10]
