Update 24 October, 2018
This is my Multispectral (MS) IFF strobe - it strobes in Thermal (MWIR - Medium Wave IR) and Nightvision (NIR - Near IR).
The strobe shows up in inventory as a grenade with the name of "MS IFF Strobe" - this overwrites the vanilla "B_IR_Grenade" NATO IR Grenade.
This addon no longer requires ACE3. The strobe can be thrown or used in the ACE Attach system.
This strobe will last for 5 hours before the battery dies.
The effects are built into the configuration files of the model so they *should* have better performance than script based solutions.
If you'd like to use any part of this mod for your own work please contact me on Steam - I'd love for a better coder to make this better (hint hint ACE Team).
PLEASE: if you rate this item negatively, leave a comment so I know what to fix.
KNOWN ISSUES:
-The Thermal effect doesn't seem to "stick" to the strobes if they're moving fast
-The thermal flash shape is a bit ugly - I plan on trying to come up with a nice round circular flash
TO DO:
-Update NIR strobe pattern to match the MWIR pattern - This appears to be hard-coded
-Configuration screen for strobes? I'd love some help on this
