cleggy 297 Posted October 12, 2015 Sorry to hear the 'old girl' is causing you problems. The 'Ridgback needs a name' thing is a little debugging script in the 'init.sqf' that i forgot to remove. I think it's harmless but you could de-pbo it and remove this from the init.sqf: If(vehicleVarName _vehicle == "") then { hint "Ridgback needs a name!"}; Doesn't explain why it's still happening even after naming the vehicle tho'! As for locking the game - I really don't know unless others are having the issue and can give us some clues where to look.. It's also a mystery why you haven't got the bisign - I thought I'd signed it properly :unsure: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
da12thMonkey 1943 Posted October 12, 2015 PPV? Doesn't that mean Police Patrol Vehicle on the chevy police cars? http://media.caranddriver.com/images/11q3/409394/2012-chevrolet-caprice-ppv-police-car-review-review-car-and-driver-photo-422100-s-429x262.jpg It's British military parlance for Protected Patrol Vehicle. Used to be used to distinguish the basic variants of Mastiff, Ridgback etc. from the specialised variants, but later on they decided on calling them TCVs (Troop Carrier Vehicles). There are 4 variants of Ridgback in service; two of them are TCVs (difference between them is that one has a Protected Weapon Station and the other has a Remote Weapon Station) and the other two are the Command Vehicle and Battlefield Ambulance variants.

I did see the server key but not the bisign with the pbo. Again...it may be something else that's causing our multiplayer issues, but thats the only mod i use that doesn't have one.

honey hole white 1 Posted October 13, 2015 Just had to drop in and say superb work on this Cleggy.. Hardly a game breaker but one odd thing on my version.. Is there a reason the alt view wont swing all the way around to the front or is it just me? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cleggy 297 Posted October 13, 2015 FYI, Cleggy I just redownloaded it off of Armaholic and I don't see a bisign included with the pbo. I did see the server key but not the bisign with the pbo. Odd thing is I downloaded it from Armaholic too - and in the keys folder there are two files, a bikey and a bisign!!! so no idea why you don't have it ? I know a number of British milsim groups have used the Ridgback successfully (I've watched the videos ;) ) maybe one of them can chip in and tell us if they had any trouble? Just had to drop in and say superb work on this Cleggy.. Hardly a game breaker but one odd thing on my version.. Is there a reason the alt view wont swing all the way around to the front or is it just me? Thanks, glad you like it! As for the 'feature' you mention - I'd like to say it was a carefully thought out design decision... but in truth it's more to do with my tenuous grasp of configs :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Foxone 1044 Posted December 1, 2015 Hey cleggy, I really love your addon! One question: are you planning on making a ridgback version with a CROW M2, and are you planning on making a Mastiff/Mastiff 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cleggy 297 Posted December 2, 2015 Its really good, serving us well since day 1, thanks a lot :) Hey cleggy, I really love your addon! One question: are you planning on making a ridgback version with a CROW M2, and are you planning on making a Mastiff/Mastiff 2 Thanks for trying the Ridgback chaps. I'm not planning on any variants of the Ridgback at the moment and the Mastiff would be too much like hard work! I like to think of myself as a 'kickstarter' ... I make a model - get it just about 'roadworthy' - get bored looking at it and then hope someone likes it enough to finish it off properly! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rex457 12 Posted December 2, 2015 It would appear since the nexus update the optic on the M2 does not allow us to actually aim down and use It anymore.. anybody else experiencing this Issue? I have even tried using It without any other mods Installed to see If It was a conflict but It still has the Issue, Cleggy do you suppose you could take a look at It? this Is a great vehicle and my unit uses It almost every mission and we don't want to see It go, using the normal aim down keys only zooms the view Instead of actually aiming down the optic. Thank you for creating It! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
p_siddy 58 Posted December 3, 2015 Cleggy, i have been told you released a bulldog for arma 2 and i took a look at it and it looks awesome. Just the thing some british units may be missing. Have you any plans to bring that over to arma 3? Nice job on the Ridgeback as well, have used it many a time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had a problem some time ago where Norton decided to go ahead and delete my arma3.exe file from my game. Had everything needed to play the game except the file to launch it.

Thank you for creating It! Yes, it's very broken with the Nexus update ... the whole ViewOptics/cargo compartment things seem to have changed :( I'll have a look at it but configs aren't my strong point .... Nexus has even broken the current model I'm working on ... Cleggy, i have been told you released a bulldog for arma 2 and i took a look at it and it looks awesome. Just the thing some british units may be missing. Have you any plans to bring that over to arma 3? Nice job on the Ridgeback as well, have used it many a time. Well a certain 'someone' from a certain 'well respected modding outfit' did ask for the source files with a view to porting it - no ETA when that might happen tho' ... no plans to have a go myself at the moment. 100% on this, I know a few medics who would love to use it as a battle ambulance amoungst other things... Ha, I thought the 'bulldog' was generally unliked - not necessarily because my model is a bit naff tho'! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

J. Gosewitz 13 Posted December 6, 2015 Awesome work man, love the mod, just a question, (you probably got this alot) but is their any possibility of a 40mm MK-19 Varient?? The 50. cal is great but for convoy ops the MK19 is a beast?? This is not a request though, just a question to whether or not this could happen? anyways great work, keep it up man Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cleggy 297 Posted December 6, 2015 My thanks to Foxhound and Sonsalt - eagle eyed as always! Very nice :D Awesome work man, love the mod, just a question, (you probably got this alot) but is their any possibility of a 40mm MK-19 Varient?? The 50. cal is great but for convoy ops the MK19 is a beast?? This is not a request though, just a question to whether or not this could happen? anyways great work, keep it up man Thanks for the replies :) Regarding variants .... Good News I'm working on a vehicle that has a MK19 It's used for convoy duty Bad News It isn't a Ridgback :( I don't know if we mount the MK19 on a Ridgback tbh. Not seen any photos of it. Maybe in the new year I'll revisit it. Looking back at it (it's nearly a year old now) there's an awful lot that could be improved! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
da12thMonkey 1943 Posted December 6, 2015 I don't know if we mount the MK19 on a Ridgback tbh. Not seen any photos of it. Mk19s have never been used by regular British forces. SAS etc. used to have them, but the only GMG used by regular forces has been the Heckler Koch L134A1 Mastiff and Ridgback are capable of mounting the L134A1 GMG since their weapon station uses the common ISTEC Universal Gun Mount that's on other vehicles like Jackal and RWMIK. But the main armaments on Troop Carriers are more commonly L7A2 GPMG or L111A1 HMG Small-ish pic of a Mastiff 2 with a GMG fitted And Ridgback with one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
