hey, will you guys include the Mk48 and Mk46 SAW´s into RHS that Toadie did for his NiArms pack?

In all likelihood, probably not. Also, the RHS team generally doesn't like requests, or things that sound like requests.

[gunny24 46]

nope, really just a question. wanted  to know it, because of addon managment on the server dont want to have the same guns in 3 different packs, also these guns are "missing" for the US guys and they previously included the other SAW´s from toadies pack.

Is it possible to mount a 240 to the tripod for added stability?

I know ACE has the "hog saddle" for snipers. I'm not able to put a tripod on the ground and then mount a 240 or 249 to it for added stability for long distance engagements from a SBF position. 

[dragon01 902]

It's not possible to mount a "hand" weapon onto a tripod, the engine doesn't support it. Which is a pity (vanilla MGs could use that, as well), but not something that the RHS team can do. A tripod-mounted M240 would have to come in a "bag" form that would be unusable when dismounted.

[evrik 844]

That's not exactly true. Our hand carried L7 GPMG can be mounted onto a tripod to form the tripod version of the GPMG. You can then break it down into a tripod and L7, which can then be carried and fired as normal. We changed the two bag system to have all of our tripods and weapons (GPMG, GMG, HMG, Mortar) use the launcher slot of the unit, rather than the backpack slot. We also did away with the magically appearing ammo, meaning you need to take it with you as well.

@evrik. I was wondering if the same system would work on turrets on vehicles.

I've got to try it, then. Is that in any released "3CB" mods? RHS could definitely use something like that. Not only GPMGs, but the Russian Metis launcher can also be fired from hand. It would be difficult to actually hit something with it (it uses SACLOS guidance, which means it'd be very affected by sway), but it should be an option. Having to carry ammo separately (and being able to pick how much to take) would also be an interesting addition.

[evrik 844]

Yes, it's in the 3CB Weapon pack. J McMerry, I have pm'd you a response. I don't want to hijack this thread any further with non-RHS posts.

Of cource! Why should we have one big mod with tech adopted to each other and which is sharing the models and other stuff between factions, if we can get 10 mods with 10 versions of M1a1 Abrams but with different count of polygons and large variety of textures of different quality!)))))

 

The British Army doesn't use M1A1 Abrams.....

Bar a couple of weapons systems theres very little overlap between British and American Armed Forces, 

 

Considering 3CB is already well established and also include alot of their own extras in the mods (Carryable static ammo, logistics features, vehicle variance etc.) It would be a huge amount of work just to make the mods fully compatible with each other

 

Although one thing I'd love to see is cross compatibility of RHS/3CB magazines, which would make joint operations much easier (I know both are set up to use vanilla 5.56 magazines so they are a good all round, but it would be nice to know everything you had would work in everything you had)

I have a question regarding the RHSUSAF's HMMWVS.

 

I want to make a mission and have a custom symbol on the doors. I tried retexturiing the hmmwv and applying setObjectTexture in the init but it doesn't work. Is it possible to add a custom symbol to the doors in a mission without addons?

I was rather thinking of introducing the 3CB features (or developing similar ones) to RHS. Not merely compatibility, but rather introducing some of those features directly into RHS.

 

Alternatively, we can hope that BIS will take interest in 3CB functionality and replicate it in the engine, just like they did with RHS tank sights and rangefinders.

I used it with IFA3, hand down the best MG emplacement system I've seen! Should be in base game!

 

So should RHS at this rate

Unit decals for the tailgate, doors etc. are hiddenSelections indices 9 and 10 on most models, except the unarmed M1025A2s, where they're 8 and 9

1)Telling people what to do is annoying.It killing motivation.Also - good food for trolls :P

2)Can't disagree,implement of Mk.xx would be definitely nice.Reasons,why this not ingame yet,I don't know.

3)You always may offer your help to match this guns to RHS level(Sounds,ajusts,ammo etc).And then send it.Maybe it will be in next release.Basically you only have to rewrite configs,it's not so hard.

(But i do respect the choice of mod creators, they can do whatever they want)

Everybody peace!

 

You know why...

Forget about standartization between diffirent mods.Usually people,who interested in standartization just crack the mods and modernise it(!).

No I understood his reference, you obviously don't understand the joke I made

 

But thats ok, I forgive you

 

And I agree theres a huge amount of overlap in the Arma modding community, but the nature of modding in your spare time means you work on what you like, and people tend to like similar things

So you are using a pirate copy of the game. Arma 3 is on version 1.74 and steam auto updates. Goodbye

Your "SS" profile pic did not help matters. A pirate and a nazi...wow.

 

[Helvin Perdana 0]

yep im using pirate games on my pc . but i usually test some mods in pirate just to know the mod running as well or not . any fix for my problem sir?

Because of his "SS" profile picture i think. Germans are hating nazi symbols more than the others nowadays!
