CameronMcDonald 146 Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) G'day all, Here is the A3 version of this minor tweak for A2. Since BI were kind enough to give decent AI functionality to their autocannons this time around, but unfortunately didn't do the same for MBTs, you can now experience all the horror of having tanks fire HEAT or HE rounds (depending on loadout) at squishy loons. Bonus! I've added tweaks for the 0.3.5 stable RHS: AFRF and RHS: USF vehicles too! Be sure to read the below bugs/issues section before use and note that the beta builds are not supported. I'm a lot better with overriding configs this days, so there are no changed weapon classnames (and hopefully therefore minimal clashes with other modifications). The weapons with altered properties are: cannon_105mm cannon_120mm cannon_120mm_long cannon_125mm The RHS: USF weapons with altered properties are: rhs_weap_m256 The RHS: AFRF weapons with altered properties are: rhs_weap_d81 rhs_weap_2a26 rhs_weap_2a46_2 rhs_weap_2a46m_2 rhs_weap_2a46m rhs_weap_2a46m_4 rhs_weap_2a28 rhs_weap_2a41 rhs_weap_2a70 rhs_weap_2a75 There are little example missions for vanilla, RHS: USF and RHS: AFRF vehicles included - see the readme for details. Bugs/limitations: - Any vehicle with >3 muzzles (most of them) and >3 ammunition natures loaded will spam the .RPT with a "duplicate magazine detected" error if and only if any players are crewing the vehicle. This is an engine limitation. I can offer the following solutions: 1. Ensure that only two different types of ammo are in the tank if players are going to crew. 2. Otherwise, use -nolog in your startup params. 3. Alternatively, don't play scenarios where players crew tanks - leave it up to the AI. This error has been around since A2 - see here for more info (this is after ACE incorporated the system). - The cool RHS reloading animation on Russian tanks will be interrupted if the gunner decides to change natures mid-reload. Cosmetic problem only. - You will occasionally find situations where AI use an inappropriate ammo nature - usually happens in a target rich environment. - AI M1 crews don't really know what to do with the M416 smoke rounds and will use them in a means similar to the M1069 HE. Changelog: v0.2 Added third firemode to the T100, oops - see above WRT bugs/limitations. Added RHS vehicle tweaks. v0.1 - Initial release. Thanks: [ASA]Oden for his original tinkering way-back-when. RHS for letting me messily patch over their work. Summary: - Works fine on 1.38 stable. Not tested with dev branch. - MP untested. Should be fine if everyone has it running on their ends, provided you take note of the above issues! - Example mission included. Linkies (v0.2): DropBox ArmAholic PlayWithSix Edited February 9, 2015 by CameronMcDonald v0.2 update!

Thanks: [ASA]Oden for his original tinkering way-back-when. Bugs/limitations: none insofar, however, I ask that you keep an eye on your .RPTs if you ever have players operating as gunners and let me know if you see anything about duplicate magazines spring up. Summary: - Works fine on 1.38 stable. Not tested with dev branch. - MP untested. Should be fine if everyone has it running on their ends. - Example mission included. Linky (v0.1): DropBox That sounds great. And you should probably edit your post. The first link leads to the Arma 2 version not the Arma 3 version. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gunter Severloh 4056 Posted March 25, 2015 Hey Cameron, this requires RHS mod or the mod is optional as in it will also work with RHS? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CameronMcDonald 146 Posted March 26, 2015 No need for RHS - just use the vanilla game PBO to get the effect applied to the BI vehicles only. The RHS PBOs are currently deprecated - I'll probably update them with the next stable RHS release (I'm lazy). :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunter Severloh 4056 Posted March 26, 2015 Ah ok, thanks, on that note, may I ask your permission to include your mod in my latest and upcoming WarMod for Arma3? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
