acemod 312 Posted May 12, 2015 Today we are excited to present to the Arma community the first release of Advanced Combat Environment 3 (ACE3). ACE3 is the collaborative efforts of the former AGM and CSE teams, along with many of the developers from Arma 2's ACE2 project. This mod is entirely open-source (we are hosted on GitHub), and everyone is free to propose changes or maintain their own, customized version as long as they make their changes open to the public in accordance with the GNU General Public License. ACE3 is built modularly, thus a team can maintain its own tailored version, excluding a select number of components that they don't like, or which conflict with other addons. Larger components themselves, like the medical system and other core features also include various customization options, allowing mission designers and communities to tweak the overall experience. Signed, The ACE TeamCore Features Brand new 3D interaction/action system Performance and reliability framework Focus on modularity and customization New flexible client and server settings & configuration Improved medical system with various levels (basic/advanced) focus on gameplay/realism Proper & consistent network-synced weather Wind and weather-based ballistics Captivity system Explosives system, including different trigger types Map screen improvements – marker placement and map tools Logistics Advanced missile guidance and laser designation Additional Features Carrying and dragging Realistic names for vehicles and weapons A fire control system (FCS) for armored vehicles and helicopters Realistic ballistics/FCS calculated in C/C++ extensions Backblast area and overpressure simulation Disposable launchers Realistic G-forces Vehicle locking Realistic night and thermal vision modes Magazine repacking Realistic weapon overheating mechanic Combat deafness (temporary loss of hearing) simulation Improved interactions for AARs and ammo bearers Adjustable sniper scopes No idle animation with lowered weapon No talking player avatar Jumping over obstacles, climbing over walls and cutting down fences Vector, MicroDAGR and Kestrel devicesand much more...
