mickeymen 324 Posted July 8, 2019 Hi @BIS, we look forward to the new DLS with impatience and as always hope for the best! As I understand it in DLC contact breathing masks and gas masks will be of great importance, however, today in Arma3, the player still does not have a gas mask simulation (mask - texture mapping), despite the fact that some mod-makers have already implemented this simulation. Example here: This is an image of a first-person player wearing a gas mask. Looks good, no doubt about it! @BIS, Please make this feature for all gas masks and breathing masks. This simulation can greatly improve first person gameplay. If you also will add a special filter for voice player in the mask, then it will be just a masterpiece! As seems to me, at least one of the two ( textured mask or special filter for voice player/masked breath, when he in the gas mask) must be implemented in this DLC. Without both items, the player will not feel the mask on his face - I think that would be a big disappointment for players 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The lack of a vanilla solution here is a glaring oversight. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rydygier 1309 Posted July 9, 2019 Hm. If there are used scripted solutions in the campaign around gasmasks etc. how hard would be put these scripts into editor modules to make these functionalities available in the sandbox, out of campaign? Unless these scripts are non-universal, but bound to certain plot situations, not designed to work/make sense out of this context. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snakeplissken 96 Posted July 9, 2019 It's sad when an admirer of a game knows that the developers of the game know how to add a new feature, but the developers say it will not do this because there are people in the community who know how to create such a feature with script. So buck admirer of the game will depend on someone to create and make available such a resource that the developer himself could have done. But nobody will know the day that this good boy will create the script with the feature and where the script will be available, since if someone asks the Mod topic when it will be ready, you will receive a moderation warning that you should not ask about it, because that feature is ready when the creator of the mod decides when it will be ready. Many times the person only wants to use a feature that the game developers could have added, so to have only this feature, he needs to download a 500MB Mod or more to use only this feature, when this could be solved with 30MB if Dev had added it to the game. What I mean is, BI could add a module that has some effect on the health of the character because it is not equipped with CBRN equipment, and not expect that to be done by someone in the community. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zukov 490 Posted July 9, 2019 THANKS BI! the rpg42 no more with the optic inside the shoulder of the specnaz! was very ugly to see. I have to admit the specnaz character is very versatile, useful, good to see in any scenario (maybe not in jungle) the cherry on top, would be the black painted faces like in arma 2 and a "partisan" version for the camo 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, only roof rack beacon is emitting light since. It has it's own limitations (like needing of front lights to be turned on) so it's not planned to implement such behavior to other variants. 7 hours ago, XOSPECTRE said: B_W_Soldier_Lat2_F have Carl Gustav launcher /MAAWS but ammunition for PCML = cannot fire because he don't have ammo/incorrect ammo.

Would it be possible to get that orange beacon as a placeable object in the editor? That would be an awesome addition for mission makers. Also, can anyone tell me, what is the purpose of the new cargo platform? Maybe I'm missing something, but with no ladder up to it, I'm not sure what function it would serve.

It is perhaps the most powerful asset of the expansion, yet nobody seems to have unlocked its full potential yet 😈 We use it to create a flat surface / composition on any sloped terrain. The idea is to have at least one side at the same height as the terrain, and then the legs should lower themselves to support the platform wherever the terrain is lower. The side panels can be rotated / hidden to snap them together for larger constructions. Go nuts! 😎 8 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe you guys should mention that in one of the dev vlogs, or something, because I'm sure I'm not the only one that didn't know this. 13 minutes ago, Beagle said: Shh...don't tell anyone: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1801324888 How do you reload these?

lexx 1363 Posted July 12, 2019 You don't have to put them up that high. They make a great base for the anti-air assets if you just flip down the sides 45° and keep the platform as low to the ground that the edges are touching down. It looks pretty good and much better than having the turrets sit on plain earth. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DropbearCommando 7 Posted July 12, 2019 The new flatbed HEMTTs are awesome: *Note: The above screenshot uses the attachTo command: CIWSNameHere attachTo [HEMTTNameHere, [0, 0, 1.74] ]; I'm curious if there is any way to allow the loading of the Praetorian onto a flatbed while being able to fire? I know there might be technical limitations/issues related to how the vehicle loading works as a whole that prevent this. But it would be convenient for stuff like Zeus where scripting access is limited at best. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So a lot less try and error while making them look good. This doesnt use unit names so you can just copy and paste what you created over and over again. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
