That's an Arma issue, not a mod issue.

Might actually partly be a mod issue. 3CB obfuscates their pbo's, which basically means messing them up so much that most pbo readers cannot read them properly anymore.
Now.. Oh wonder, Arma itself cannot read them properly anymore. The obfuscation did exactly what it wanted to do.

We'd have to wait and see if BI also fixes this, but I doubt they will concentrate on such missuse of the file format which is obviously not supported officially.

Weird, as certain obfuscation tools can be found through a link (top bar) of the official ARMA Tools.

Huh? where? what top bar?

How soon could we perhaps expect some kind of update that might fix the jeep issue? It's the one thing preventing me from using the jeeps and I'd quite like to use them.

[evrik 843]

I won't confirm deadlines. However, we can likely release soon after the signature issues are resolved. We are waiting for the BI hotfix to see if it resolves the situation. If it does - great. If not, we'd have to fix that before releasing anything new.

Could You guys maby add native config CBA JAM mags and ammo compatibility not only for M16s like it is right now but also for FN FALs, MP5s , M14s and RPK.

You don t even have to add your native magazines compat to the list, just add CBA magazinewell entries to the weapons config.

 

Thanks and regards.

And as is appropriately fitting, seems I missed:

 

Fixed: Missing passenger proxy from Mutt Jeep visual LODs

 

From the changelog. That has been fixed as well.

Change log updated

[scimitar 221]

Thanks for all the hard work. This release is much appreciated!

I am getting an error that says "cannot find base class 'HitGlass5". I have uninstalled the mod and reinstalled the mod 3 times and still getting the error. I have also uninstalled the game, reinstalled the game and then the mod and still getting the error. The game will work again if 3CB Factions mod is disabled.

[evrik 843]

What other mods are you using? Do you get the error with just 3CB factions and the requirements running?

[csimjg 0]

I am using 213 mods, I can give you list. I do not get the error with just 3CB Faction and the requirements running. Could the problem be that I am using to many mods and that is causing an error when the game loads the mods?

[evrik 843]

I would guess so. We run without any issue. I'd say it is a conflict somewhere. All I can suggest is try loading them up one at a time, or in groups, until you get the error. If you can narrow it down, I may be able to fix it in a future update. Failing that, the author of the other mod may need to update. It really just depends on what is causing it.

Are you serious?! 213 mods?  Just wow😲😮 !

  Why not load 1k next time and tell us what happen. I'd honestly glad to see  how your processor and RAM react to it 😆 

 

I mean what is your imaginary scenario anyway to need that much mods 😄

[ThePointForward 2]

PVS-5A is not visible when in active use, making it look like the user doesn't have nods at all.

 

Is that on purpose to simulate the fact it was usually head-mounted?

 

Also would be nice if it had gen 2 tubes when ace is in use.

[evrik 843]

It's on purpose. Due to limitations with the model, I couldn't realistically have them flip up and down when in use and not. So, when not in use, they should disappear as if removed from the head. They should appear when you use them again.

Vive la révolution!

 

Always good to be smartly dressed for an uprising like the guy on the right. 😄

[cu3b4ll 974]

No matter what scene I build I always find myself using your mod in some form. Its been crucial for my 80's/90's scenes.

[evrik 843]

Nice to hear. Thanks. 🙂  I am back working on some more factions / vehicles after the recent BAF updates. Busy working on some Africans and AAF equipped with current weapons / vehicles.

 

Thanks to the great guys at GM, I now have these working. I've been enjoying my Stratis Airfield to Firing Range rally against the AI. 😄

[cu3b4ll 974]

Awesome to hear youre working on African Factions. You basing them off real world groups or will there be some ArmAverse groups too?

[evrik 843]

It's likely I am just going to create some ArmaVerse factions based on real world African armed forces / paramilitaries. The pack is to supplement Project Opfor, so there are a lot of real life factions in there.

 

I am starting with an African Desert Army and Paramilitary / reservists that are loosely based on Nigeria and Chad. So the army part will have matching uniforms, but assorted vests / helmets, whereas the paramilitary guys will have older camo patterns, webbing, and a mix of african style turbans, berets or no headgear at all.

 

Once those are done I'll need to create some militia.

 

After that I'll likely repeat the process for a African Jungle Army etc... etc...

 

I may look at doing something for scrub / brush, or an African Union Faction, but I haven't decided. There are a lot of other maps / environments I at least want to create one faction for.

Nice dirt bikes 

[LordLoko 35]

Any plans to create a modern-day AAF?

 

And a suggestion, maybe some UN infantry using western/NATO equipment as well? Most of the mods that add UN have them similar to the Arma 2 Chernarussian UN with AKs and Soviet equipment.
