viasko 14 Posted March 30, 2016 The new screenshots are pure madness . After the Bravo release I would begin to rebuild me created missions from Arma 2 (Unsung 2.6) for Arma 3. The new island "Doung island" would be the best terrian, especially it reflects the RSSZ. I like the little things at all these individual addons to reflect atmosphere and flair of the vietnam conflict.I´m really curious what else is coming...good job! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
icmspectre 32 Posted March 30, 2016 CSJ's hueys are the best out there Have you guys seen the map "NAM" by CPL.Variable.A; it has a HUE section, Hamburger Hill, FOBS, 7th Cav HQ, NVA and VC camps and a US R&R camp, with beach equipment and a drinks shack. Its really well made too. You guys should check it out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eggbeast 3673 Posted March 30, 2016 bear in mind Doung island will have some bare expanses of wetland on it awaiting razorback's attention for the charlie release. i have asked him to allow us to release it WIP, as we need an island with a runway for the new aircraft. we quite like the empty areas as they allow us to test the scopes lol 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eggbeast 3673 Posted March 31, 2016 Have you guys seen the map "NAM" by CPL.Variable.A; it has a HUE section, Hamburger Hill, FOBS, 7th Cav HQ, NVA and VC camps and a US R&R camp, with beach equipment and a drinks shack. Its really well made too. You guys should check it out yeah we've had a look at it. it's great that other people are making maps for the vietnam era. Variable is a talented guy. and you are right, csj's hueys are awesome - they just needed a texture update for Arma 3. since we brought out alpha, loads of people who don't know any better have been urging us to adopt other peoples hueys, some even saying "you suck cos you don't got no hueys bruv" kinda stuff lol. it seems they have just never played unsung before. we also get another common one "why dont you upload on steam? u wd gt millions more users" - our usual reply being (like yoda) "we will get users or we won't, there is no steam." we are just plodding along bringing the magic of all our arma 2 content to arma 3, and looking forward very much to adding in new kit and ideas along the way. oh and we also get guys rocking up with their very own dog-eared, mountain-dew-stained copy of "1,001 Ideas to add to a Vietnam Mod in Arma" - and they just won't leave us in peace lol. i mean, we're not averse to new ideas, just not EVERY idea that comes along, and some just happen to arise at the wrong time. we have a garage full of half-finished projects - like my auto-shark-spawner for hunting downed airmen, or von knudenbergs fully animated radio sets, or his spawnable, searchable tunnel complexes, my wide array if mission-worthy vietnam era items that can be used to populate missions with interesting "objectives", pooks height adjustable radar controlled flak, all kinds of shit. plus 8-10 arma 2 maps that need porting...we got so much lying about half done. so it has to be a SPECIAL idea to get us to turn our heads and say "ooh now THAT is getting worked on tomorrow morning" stuff like these models from kable for example - which we dived head first into: they are such an amazing contribution to the mod, that Razorback has named a key new fire-base after him! now that is a good example of how to contribute to the mod, rather than offering a pile of suggestions for things we have already considered, then getting pissy when we don't act really grateful lol - some people out there are really painful to have to listen to. i'm not being specific about any one person here, just a general post-beer waffle about some of the incoming we have to dodge EVERY DAY. anyway here's a quick re-run of the new models - as they are so awesome. there is also a new willys jeep but i lost my pics of it. more re-skins by shockley - again the O2 skymaster FAC plane by hcpookie 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hcpookie 3770 Posted March 31, 2016 Good to see the O2 getting some texture love. It really needed it! Looks like good progress being made so that's a plus. It looks like the re-texture of the huey choppers means the questions about the use of the legacy Huey's will finally will be able to be addressed! :) 2 questions: - Did my SAM / AAA units work for the latest version? They should have... just needed MP testing if memory serves, but that was a month ago. - Interesting the M113's had MP issues, I thought those were pretty much written off as complete. As I just moved I have no time to contribute to this project. Roadblock helped me unload the moving truck which helped immensely. Computer desk isn't even assembled at present! Perhaps later this year or maybe next. No glorious responses for some time yet :D I'll likely just be a "typical user" for some time to come. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hcpookie 3770 Posted March 31, 2016 Oh I meant to ask - can I upload this to steam so my clan can mod this for use for our own private server? :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eggbeast 3673 Posted March 31, 2016 hey welcome back man, glad the move went well, and hope you're getting settled ok there. we're missing some key models from you, so i'm hoping even if you can't actually mod anything, that we can obtain the files from you during the next month or so. currently we don't have your latest SA2, shilka, zu23, AAA guns, puazo and SON9 etc as of whenever you last updated them - they aren't on the svn as far as i can tell. we also don't have your CH54 Tarhe skycrane although I have debinned the blu82 so we have that in the missilebox and it looks perfect. We've pretty much fixed the m113's - we fixed a lot of missing textures and rvmats (from stuff like the tanks that we haven't included yet), upgraded the weapons memory points, weapon sounds, and edited the scripts a lot to fix them in MP. they seem to work ok. We've added standard helpful but minimal cargo kit to them, and all tracers and fx are working great. We also optimised the configs a LOT, and reduced the line count by thousands, which means a lot less stuff to look through when editing - mainly in the turrets/animationsources. Same goes for the PBRs. only a couple of things that need fixing on the m113s are the ammo boxes/feed side on the m1919s, the turn in/out view / anims and adding FFV to the roof cargo points, which we're planning to address, and then copying it all to the A1 versions. we have edited the jeeps, O1, O2, commandos, h13s, sampans, PBRs F105, etc while you've been away so i would strongly advise you to access the SVN for the latest models before you scratch the itch again (if/when that happens) otherwise you'll be working on quite old models. all the nva patrol boats have turrets that dont animate - im planning to fix these, unless you can locate a more recent model set perhaps? I will also add FFV, clutter and sor tthe guns points / fx out and hopefully shockley will repaint them. the mod's comin along great man. hop in for a game sometime when you're set.

hcpookie 3770 Posted April 1, 2016 I'm several weeks away from even contemplating loading up the game. Script updates, huh, interesting. That's too bad as I thought all those would have worked in MP. One day I'll have to look at them to see the tweaks they needed. All my Unsung AAA/SAM stuff was uploaded to my onedrive, and Tet was looking at a few things. I can't remember how he found them to work or not. Tet likely has more information on its performance at this point. Uploaded here:https://onedrive.live.com/?id=5B54FC51A7917265!28589&cid=5B54FC51A7917265 Those are the "latest" all dated 2/28. Should work? The only issue I had was the soldier class wasn't updating for some reason (I assume my SVN wasn't updated) and it complained about the soldiers in the crew, so it never loaded for me in the build of the day. All the vehicles have damage lod's and all the other "little things" so they should simply work. I loaded all the vehicles up 1x1 in-game for those screenshots, so I know they work in-game. The question is how does AI perform w/ the AAA stuff, and how does MP work. It SHOULD work fine since the same SAM/AAA MP code was fixed for my SAM Pack. So how does the AI use it is really the question of the hour. The site spawner is the same code that works in MP for the modern SAM's so I'm confident that stuff works in MP. In fact, I have corrected many (all?) of the previously reported issues, mostly in the SA2 PBO, and those corrections need to be applied to the Modern SAM pack. If I do anything else with this game this year, these tweaks would likely be it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eggbeast 3673 Posted April 1, 2016 yeah the isdedicated check was stopping them from applying the skins. worked fine on the client but not when you played it in MP. in MP the doors wouldnt close, and the m113 was see-through and had no clutter. there were some other fixes needed too: the alpha layer in some of the netting was showing up white - face ordering some of the decals were looking for the slick folder, so we've fixed those no use of setobjecttextureglobal, so tetet added this in atm it seems to work perfectly.

sgt_savage 586 Posted April 3, 2016 What do you think about adding more rustling noises when running thru steep vegetation? Should make a constant thrashing sound and encourages more stealthy walks and crawls. Was thinking about this last week , I had some custom step sounds I made way back in OFP ... I will have to have a look on my external drive to see if they still there. Had some when you walk you can hear the dogtags rattle etc.. But these sound enhancements will be further down the line ;) BTW New video posted on our youtube page ;) ... https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCU4hICEkIDLSKqnB-7DLgtQ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
