Wonderful ! I must say i wasn't expecting this. Did you include the material thingy ?

[kenoxite 156]

Yes, all EXT related things have now the new materials defined and enabled.

Great. Have the "trees" materials changed since the previous OFPmaterials release ?

[kenoxite 156]

@JdB: Thanks again for the mirror! (and all the rest!)

@ProfTournesol: Yes, it has the new tweaked vegetation material properties. I have yet to update the OFP materials thread with the updated version. Right now my hands are full with the remaining tweaks and fixes for EXT v1. Meanwhile, you can use the ofp_matdef_core.pbo found in main EXT if you want.

The latest patch included a glitched binarized version of the DBDU unit. I also forgot to redirect in EXT material definitions pbo the BDU, KLMK and other textures used now only in CW.

I've updated the patch with a fixed version of the mentioned unit. It also contains a new pbo that includes material definitions for the CW units. Download link is the same, but you should download the file again if you did so before this post.

@JdB: Thanks again for all the mirrors. Could you please reupload the fixed patch, please? Sorry for all the hassle :)

Deleted all of your WW4 releases out of spite ... err I mean I replaced the old file :o

[blacksidras 6]

Some units don't have any wound textures.

East/WW4 EXT/Soviet Cold War/Rifle/KLMK/ Rifleman is one of them.

[kenoxite 156]

There was the same problem as with the materials: the texture paths weren't updated.

Use this patch to have wounds visible again. I'll release a proper one this weekend which will include this and any other fix for bugs reported during this week: https://www.mediafire.com/download/wn4g7scaf9atan6/WW4EXT_CW_patch_RC1.zip

Thanks for reporting!

[blacksidras 6]

Thanks, I'll let you know if I find anything else.

Update to the Battlefields mission: https://www.mediafire.com/download/eozc382t51oe4v1/WW4EXT_CW_v111_mission.zip

Having problems with the tripod machineguns here. For example, The WW4EXT_tripodPKM has very high dispersion when fired by AI gunners so that they can't hit anything.

The vehicle WW4EXT_tripodNSV does not fire at enemies at all...

Both to be found in the vehicleClass "WW4 EXT/Soviet Cold War/Vehicles".

 

The HMGs on WEST and GUER sides have the same exaggerated AI dispersion. The static MGs from the WW4EXT_Veh pack are also affected (apart from M2 variants)

 

As far as I was able to track the ammo down in the configs the PKM uses WW4EXT_PKMFOXAMMO which inherits from Bullet7_6 but I can't find any dispersion or recoil definition in any of the superclasses.

 

I've removed the weapons and magazines from the PKM and added the "Browning" weapon and magazine instead from the "M2 Machinegun (East)" (vehicleClass "East-> Armored") and the AI gunner lights up his targets like a charm. I think I have the latest version installed.
