tachi 10 Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) I felt that arma lacks some functionality in terms of detecting mines. Red rhombs that show you every mine in a big radius, even if you don't see them don't seem realistic to me. So i've asked AGM team if they can do something about it, and i found some script while discussing the functionailty. It was made by gpgpgp, so i've took it and slightly modified. Then i showed it to a great guy - Blender and he added a lot of cool stuff to it. So basically this addon adds sound element for mine detection. If you are close enough to the mine and you are looking at it, and your minedetector is turned on, it starts beeping, the closer you are to the mine the faster it starts to beep. All you need is a default mine detector in your inventory How it looks: v1.1 - lowered distance for mine detection from 10 to 5m. - fixed issues with sounds looping. - fixed issue with minedetector not working after respawn.

I've already shared source code with them. Its up to them to implement it or not. For now i just decided to release it for everyone, because even if they decide to make their own one, it will take some time to release.

domokun 515 Posted January 15, 2015 This is REALLY impressive. I can imagine how nerve racking it must be to be on point. Could anyone who's actually used this kind of equipment in operations provide some feedback on the accuracy? e.g. weight, size, sensitivity, noise, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stoffl 13 Posted February 11, 2015 isn't 5 meters a bit of a short distance when approaching bounding mines? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tachi 10 Posted February 11, 2015 isn't 5 meters a bit of a short distance when approaching bounding mines? Only for bounding mines probably, but if you approach them carefully, not sprinting on full speed, that shouldn't be an issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
