Already reported and fixed for the next update. 🙂

 

Any info on when this update will be released? 👼
I have a mission with the Tochka ready that doesn't work due to this bug now 😞

Sorry, I tend not to set release dates as it just causes more issues when they missed. The update is currently in testing, so it really just depends on the amount of issues that are identified during that process. The pack is modular, so you could try removing the Scud .pbo just for your mission as it is the cause of the conflict. It would likely throw up an error regarding it being missing, but it shouldn't break anything else. You'd have to test it though.

[cu3b4ll 974]

Here's one that I made for Project RACS the used a bnuch of Evriks assets

[evrik 841]

Nice. I saw it on the Project RACS page. 🙂

The Takistan civilian vehicles cannot be set to simple objects. It works initially, but it will change back to a normal object after being loaded again. Haven't tested the other vehicles in the pack so can't say it's the case for all of them. 

[evrik 841]

Never seen or heard of that before. All cars inherit from a BIS base class so I don't know what would be causing that issue. Could you confirm you are seeing this with just the Faction mod + requirements? If so, feel free to PM me how to recreate the issue and I'll take a look.

[Rook Mk1 46]

I did it with the minimum amount of mods and it still does it.

 

To recreate just place a 3cb Faction vehicle in the editor and then check the Simple Object box in attributes.

 

When you hit the play scenario button then quit back out to the editor, it will have reset itself. This doesn't happen to the vanilla vehicles. 

[sargken 286]

Since the inclusion of GREF will the ported BRDM-2s be removed for the RHS variants?

[evrik 841]

@Sargken: Yes, that has been done.

 

@Rook MK1: I'll have a look. It is likely related to the server-side vehicle texture system. There is the ability to turn that off coming in the next update (meaning you can select whatever texture you want in Eden and it will remain in game rather than reverting back to the specific faction skin). If it isn't that, then I have no idea, sorry.

 

EDIT: Appears it still doesn't work with the new system. No idea why as other attribute settings remain ticked (i.e. dynamic). 

 

EDIT2: Also, it isn't just 3CB Faction vehicles. I get the same issue with our BAF vehicles and RHS.

[Rook Mk1 46]

Thanks for the quick reply. Maybe it’s on Bohemia’s part.

[evrik 841]

No idea. I'd be interested to see if it affects other mods as well, or if anyone else has the cause / solution to the problem.

[cu3b4ll 974]

sounds like its just a bug with 3den

[Bukain 86]

Takistan tribal ragtags are more like Russia funded volunteers in terms of hand grenades possession, And each of them has more first aid kits than SOC operator. Why?? XD

 

Also it seem like i can't get rid of their hand grenades even after turning off the randomization and stripe off every one of these, what, small bags? Even then, without any wearable in my inventory/vest slot, i can still throw those grenades that are suppose to be in that bag thing! Mind though that happen while with ace. It also make ace  select frag and non frag grenade feature null. What i mean by that is, for example even i change to a smoke grenade (white) with ace non-frag/frag switch and the white grenade image show up at the corner, i end up with explosive or anything that's in that invisible bag upon throwing it. Mind me if these are known issues though, just come across today 🙂

Anyway i great mod, must have with rhs. And i love those technicals!!

[evrik 841]

Most army and militia units get two frag grenades as standard, plus one or two smoke grenades. It's likely not something I'll be changing. I have however reduced the amount of medical equipment down for the next update - especially as there appeared to be an issue of units receiving twice as much as they should have been (four first aid kits instead of 2). Not sure about your issue regarding the selection of grenades.

I really like all the new vehicles in the update, the low res textures are maybe a little disappointing but they're not too bad, they're still perfectly usable. One thing though, I found a bug with the MUTT jeep that has the M2, the front passenger appears to be invisible (and seemingly invincible) from outside the vehicle. If I'm inside the vehicle and looking in first person, I can see the passenger but if I go into third person or get out and look from outside, they're completely invisible. If you're in the passenger seat though, everything looks perfectly fine. This is from the inside:

And if I get out:

Hopefully this isn't a super difficult fix, I'd love to use the jeeps in the future.

[evrik 841]

Ah damn, the proxy must be missing in the exterior LOD. That shouldn't be a difficult fix. Thanks.

[simkas 25]

That's great. Also, I was the one that mentioned the issue with the MG bunkers not ejecting dead gunners on the workshop page, we tracked it down to it being a headless client issue. Having headless enabled on a unit in the bunker will keep them in when they're dead, but if headless is disabled on them they will eject properly. It's probably not something you can fix but if anyone else encounters that issue keep this in mind.

[evrik 841]

Well we use Headless Client on our missions, so I'll ask about testing it.

[nkenny 1051]

I AM FANBOYING. TEARS ARE FLOWING. 

 

Thanks guys!

edit: 3CB just casually dropped the mod pack that makes it possible to recreate Operation Flashpoint in Arma3. Holy mother.

Yep, can confirm this the M151 MUTT M2 HMG passenger/commander is invisible in third person external view, also regarding M151 MUTTs judging from this screenshots and my testing ingame I think that side mirrors in external view lack rvmat or texture material or is it supposed to look that white and non reflecting?

 

I ve also noticed that MaxxPro M2 HMG Pivot point for M2 reload top cover feed tray opening animation is set to high so it looks broken.

 

Anyway great thanks for the fantastic update, love all the Cold War stuff. Great job.

You Guys are simply fantastic. I wanted to get my hands on M151 MUTT for Arma 3 for years, to make use of it in my Cold War Fulda Gap scenarios.

 

Cheers.

Any chance you can add MTVRs to the RHS USMC they have been missing out for a long time
