icmspectre 32 Posted May 15, 2016 Well its a matter of preference I guess , what type of missions do you want to make ? That's the first question. I started on a campaign written script back around 2.6 titled "Operation Copperhead" Centered around a SF recon team... but was too busy with the 2.6 release of the mod and didn't have a committed campaign team to play it out so it was shelved. It climaxed to an unexpected ending very moving. But alas its still sitting on my HDD waiting for someone to give it a go... If you plan on doing this with 3.0 I'll jump on board and help with mission making Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrkibblesworth 20 Posted May 15, 2016 I'm pretty sure someone has asked this before but, have you guys ever played around with explosive shock wave animations. I was tooling around with HIP and noticed they had little animations when rockets/bombs hit water. Here's a video that shows the animations: https://youtu.be/DaHVWgCY7sg The animation activated when the rockets hit a certain amount of water. as I did hit areas with very deep areas where you were forced to swim, and the animation didn't activate. But of course in real life its caused by humidity and the bomb creating a bubble that makes the water droplets rapidly expand (I'm probably wrong). So you could possibly make the animation occur when it's foggy/raining. I'm not a modder so I might just be spewing shit saying that. Here is a gfycat of the shock waves in real life: https://gfycat.com/HoarseUnfortunateCougar Also like I've said before keep up the great work loving what I've seen in 2.6 and in 3.0 Edit: Fuck me, I did more testing and it does do the burst with ankle deep water, so I removed that bit from the post. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thomas256 1 Posted May 15, 2016 I see I have created a lot of anger over my question. I am aware that the unsung team is very busy working on the mod, and I am sorry if I came across as inconsiderate for all the hardwork the unsung team put into this mod. I was just seeing if it was a possibility if some of the gear could be made tan. Since you guys are very busy with the bravo update, do you mind if I edit the models myself?

bad benson 1733 Posted May 15, 2016 are you guys setting up everything with hidden selections? could be useful for people who want to make reskin patches and stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eggbeast 3673 Posted May 15, 2016 not really no. vehicles have them but not units. our mod is kinda a standalone game full modification so we never anticipate it running with other mods. we don't expect people to modify it as that's prohibited in the license. unless they contact sav and add some value of course. we have a growing team of contributors wit ha lot of talent, and a lot of goodwill with other modding groups and individuals. so we're always open to sensible suggestions. some pics from tonights test game: pook getting some of his own flak back field-testing the M2 at 400m demonstrating chieu hoi dead dac cong commando spooky village (the anim is a bis muck up, not ours) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It will be on list of things to do , regarding the bridges its been an issue since OFP AI never liked them in all the arma series its something BIS will need to address. We might be able to run an AI path down the length but no guarantee its gonna work. But Alas we are talking around Delta time before we can look at this i would think.

marceldev89 89 Posted May 16, 2016 Nearly there! Are there any plans to redo the CfgFactionClasses/CfgGroups so that they follow the BIS "standards"?

marceldev89 89 Posted May 16, 2016 afaik they do. can you provide some more detail about what we are doing wrong?Here's a small bit of the config with a few comments about how things "should" be. Note that I'm basing all this on how things are configured in the alpha release. class CfgGroups { class West { class UNSUNG { // Must match a faction in CfgFactionClasses, correct name = "UNSUNG WEST"; class usarmyInfantry { // Must be Infantry, don't use custom group categories class army_platoonhqsectionone { faction = "UNSUNG"; // Should match the containing faction class (line 3), correct }; }; class ususmcInfantry { // Must be Infantry and probably moved to it's own faction }; }; }; class East { class UNSUNG { // Must match a faction in CfgFactionClasses, incorrect, since it's already defined in West name = "UNSUNG"; class nvaInfantry { // Must be Infantry, don't use custom group categories class nva_companyhqsection { faction = "UNSUNGEAST"; // Should match the containing faction class (line 15), incorrect }; }; class vclocalInfantry { // Must be Infantry and probably moved to it's own faction }; }; }; }; For further info it's probably best to take a look at http://alivemod.com/wiki/index.php/Unit_Mod_Config_Standardisation.

sgt_savage 586 Posted May 16, 2016 Check out this video by our good friend Sherminator , in it you will see all the new weapons, sounds and uniforms coming in 3.0b (bravo Release) * Note the missing weapon sounds in the video have already been fixed. And while compared to alpha there has been a reduction in uniforms as seen in this video, we will release them as an optional download uniform pack at the time or shortly after the bravo release.Enjoy 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
