Here's exactly what I did: 1. Make Independent/Blufor enemies. 2. Place a NATO squad, place a PLA squad, place yourself as a civilian on that beach I was talking about. 3. You'll see the effects/glitch as bullets fly past you Sorry I can't reproduce this. I'm literally standing in the path of the bullets and not seeing it. If you could be more specific as to what - exactly - you are placing on the map? Sample mission perhaps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

corporal_lib[br] 396 Posted June 3, 2018 7 hours ago, hcpookie said: It certainly is NOT part of the VME PLA mod. First I've ever heard of or seen that effect reported by anyone. Can provide details about how to reproduce it? I know, I was just pointing out that it could have been mistankenly loaded up along VME on ASmallDinosaur.´s server.. but it seems that´s not the case... maybe something on VME configs or scripts are triggering these distortions that are part of the game hardcode (for those moments on the SP campaign when the player is knocked out or battle shacken) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hcpookie 3770 Posted June 5, 2018 No worries, that's why I need a repro. Can't reproduce here implies a problem on that client. But we'll see... hard to narrow it down by trial and error lol 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hcpookie 3770 Posted June 5, 2018 Failing to load mission due to missing move "VME_magazine_functions". I don't recall seeing that in the newest build. Looked in the repository to see if that is nested somewhere and can't find it. From where did you d/l the VME mod? Recommend testing w/o that mod as it does not appear to be part of the latest VME build. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hcpookie 3770 Posted June 5, 2018 I can repro it now. Thanks for that mission! My dev build does'nt have that PBO; neither does the repository so it may be deprecated or wrapped into another PBO now. The presense of the magazine PBO has no difference; it happens regardless. The fact you can move the soldiers 100m away and it stops happening implies this is a map location interaction issue. I can't make it happen "every time" so no idea really what is going on. It acts as if the "under water" visual effect is happening. Something we'll be on the lookout for...

I have VMEPLA and CBA_A3 Loaded I've been seeing this too, but I've also been seeing other shit that would make your head absolutely spin. I mean it looks trippier than something out of Antichamber. If I could reproduce it willingly I could make the most insane psychological survival horror mission anyone had ever seen. I had the glitches like people were talking about, but then I walked past a street light. I looked at the streetlight for some reason and it began to morph. It was as if some sort of vortex or portal opened up there. It looked similar to the vortex anomaly from STALKER Shadow Of Chernobyl. The lamp post was the type that had 4 arms with a light at the end of each arm. The different arms of the lamp post started to morph into these long tentacle-like things which came towards my face and began to touch my player. When I walked away from it or didn't look at it it stopped. It looked like something that would be in a AAA SCP or Slenderman game. That only happened once and I wasn't recording, but really wish I had been. I have no idea what caused it. The mission was just some generic PLA woodland vs Tanoan civilians that I gave guns and grenades to. I don't think anyone was even shooting at the time. I've seen some other weird stuff too like what I can only describe as graphical artifacts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is the FHJ 84 rocket launcher widely used enough to warrant development on it, also do you have any videos of its operation? It's quite the interesting weapon.

lawman_actual 24 Posted July 9, 2018 Greetings gentlemen. Glad to see development is ongoing through the BI forums. I'm a big fan of the mod and would love to see continued improvement, as I'm aware would many others. Although only a fairly recent explorer of configs, I've been scripting Arma missions for quite some time and feel confident enough with the basics. I would like to offer my support in the continued development of VME PLA. I have a keen interest in military hardware, and I'm good at doing my research and collaborating with others to ensure I produce only high quality work. Of course you may prefer not to have an extra man on the team, in which case I will fully understand. Cheers Law Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lawman_actual 24 Posted July 13, 2018 Not sure if it's been mentioned, but the config entry for sensitivity on your infantry units is too high. Sensitivity defines how well the unit can see, and is logarithmic. While NATO, AAF and CSAT riflemen have a sensitivity value of 1.75 across the board, a PLA rifleman has been given 3. Furthermore, marksmen from the vanilla factions still have only 1.75 as sensitivity, because weapon optics are able to boost their 'sight', which is not considered in the sensitivity parameter. A PLA marksman, however, has been given 3.3 sensitivity, on top of his better optics and higher powered ballistics. I believe this is the reason that when playing against PLA AI I have been met with an unexpected and unrealistic level of lethality relative to other factions.

hcpookie 3770 Posted July 28, 2018 To avoid any rumors, the mod is alive and well and the next update is even closer. Unauthorized "hotfixes" aren't supported and are being addressed. We apologize it has taken so long but Real Life happens... however please be patient. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lawman_actual 24 Posted July 28, 2018 As requested, the hotfix has been removed. Thanks for the update hcpookie - it's good for rumors to be dispelled. I hope I have not caused offence and would like to reiterate my offer to help. The hotfix was only ever meant to be a temporary and clearly unofficial fix while we waited for the official update. I guess my aim was to help people continue to enjoy the original mod until the next release. In any case, keep up the good work. Cheers, Law 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
