Now that Apex is out, will CUP have any changes? We now have some official AKs so will the CUP ones stay around, or will they be rebalanced to match the official versions or use the new sounds, or anything else really?

Now that Apex is out, will CUP have any changes? We now have some official AKs so will the CUP ones stay around, or will they be rebalanced to match the official versions or use the new sounds, or anything else really?

 

Vanilla AKM (actually airsoft AKMN due to standart dovetail side rail), AKS-74U, PM/PMM bizzare lovechild, AK-12 gen 0/1 hybrid are highly inaccurate in their visual appearances and stats like RoF.

The only "useful" thing is their reload anim (yet Toadie's AK pack animations still wipe the floor with 'em).

 

Vanilla RPG-7 uses only old-gen warheads and can't mount PGO-7V scope, so also useless.

The official AKs have no attachments or scopes, so there is little point in removing them from CUP.

Send from my tablet, so pardon any autocorrect bollocks

If you need them so urgently, how about port them yourself and then donate them to CUP ;)

I thought about it, but I'd have to learn the tools from scratch. It is something I'm interested in, but right now I'm having enough fun learning the Eden editor and scripting. It does seem like a good point to start from, though (seeing as those are very simple models), so I will look into it.

CUPREP #0002: APEX Update

 

The long awaited APEX expansion is finally out, and along with it some new tech!

As we showed the previous days all our vehicles are now compatible with the new Vehicle In Vehicle technology. Despite not being as fancy as the old one we made in terms of immersiveness, it is a lot more reliable, is AI / Zeus / EDEN compatible, allows airdrops, and has the direct support of BI. So we think all in all this is a trade for the better!

Like it? Don't like it? Found weird combinations of vehicles loaded and space available? Let us know in the feedback tracker!

 

http://dev.cup-arma3.org/

 

This being said, this is more or less a maintenance update. Less RPT spam, less config errors, visual tweaks, a lot of weapons now have soundshaders (special thanks to LAxemann for most of the heavy lifting!), APEX compatibility, ride-on-top FFV seats, you can read all about it in the changelog below.

 

Finally, we added some new vehicles (AC-47D Spooky, MTVR, V3S, L-39ZA) and some new retextures and liveries of existing content.

 

We'll be linking the files from google drive below, the website is currently under maintenance and should be up and running with the new patch as well this evening. Updates are also being pushed to the other usual places as well (PWS, Steam WS, Armaholic, etc).

 

Bye for now!

Thanks a lot guys, always appreciate when new things are coming up in CUP.

[Neviothr 102]

Awesome, great update guys! Thank you for all your hard work!

[inlesco 233]

amazing stuff, guys! splendid as usual, well done!

[Rich_R 1087]

Nice additions. You've read many players minds with these.

 

Liked one of the DC3 appears to have no markings allowing it to be used for any faction or side. Nice!

[Chairborne 2594]

I tried to replicate the LHD issues some of you mentioned in the forums but came up empty.

With just cup and cba it seems to be in working order.

Hey CUP team,I know you ported some ToH stuff and I read about the big props,but what about some of the civ stuff like the vehicles and units?Do these qualify for a port at a later date or it's too low quality stuff??I noticed some of them have a good interior like the fire trucks and the Mack truck.I made a small vid of the vehicles and units I was mentioning:

I was one of those having issues as described but one of the updates seems to have fixed it. The only unusual thing that happens now (for me) is if you place and rotate it, or place it and delete it, the ladders stay where they were placed initially....lol. However, when you start the mission everything is fine

[Eagle1992 373]

Great work on the new Update!

Especially the DC3 is awesome.

The firefighter and paramedic are already in, as well as a few other "infantry" units (meaning, people).

Regarding the cars, the same applies to the cars as to the other ambient civilian assets: They usually do not have interiors, and as such, their use is limited. You might argue that they are still good as props, but as usual, the work is not automatic, someone will have to do it.

So, in essence, don't hold your breath, it's unlikely that anything without an interior will be ported any time soon

Regarding the interiors I agree with you for most of the stuff in ToH that it isn't a chopper(like the cargo ships,oil tankers or the airliners) but that's the thing,with the exception of the ambulance and that yacht everything in my vid has interiors.

I understand though,manpower vs the amount of content to be ported is limited.

[slatts 1978]

Police car looks just like the Octavia already in the mod :) 

[bagpiperguy 74]

Nice update as usual. Did not know this was a thing tho... maybe I am wrong about what I think it is..

 

 CUP_Weapons_C7 - removed package pending review. 

 

[Chairborne 2594]

Yes it was hidden stuff that was there but wasn't supposed to be there.

They don't have interiors per se, what you see is the normal outside view, which does show interiors, but at a very low resolution.

It's not only about manpower. It's also about whether it make sense or not. And in most cases it doesn't

Well if you want these ToH vehicles incorporating into CUP, how about you port them yourself then donate them to CUP ;)

Did the USS Khe Sanh get taken out or am I crazy?

You're crazy. :P

It should still be under Empty > Structures > Boats.

Guys, I know everybody has their preference and wishes, but let's please not turn this thread into a wishlist again. It doesn't help. I tried to explain the whys and hows before, and I am not going to repeat them here, suffice to say that things will happen as they happen.
