ArmA Addon request thread

[-ZG-BUZZARD 0]

I agree, Lee! And nothing better would go with it and along with the santa pack than these(for OFP)...

Snowboard for OFP on OFP.info

Ski-doom Sled for OFP on OFP.info

And there was an addon of some skiis but I can't seem to find it on OFP.info, I'll post a pic if noone else can discover it if I find it at home...

I would like to ask some skilled people here if following is possible with ArmA.

First let's talk about Crysis.

The demo came out and everyone was crazy about the graphics.. well, for some days. Then someone compared the graphics from a 2006 video and the demo.

Demo graphics aren't even close to what was shown in the video, so someone edited lightning and HDR and whatever values to make crysis look better:

1. - 2006 Video

2. - 2007 Demo

3. - 2007 Demo *edited*

---

Ok, back to ArmA.

While playing in the editor, blowing some stuff up, I took a picture of ArmA's nature:

Look's pretty nice, but like good old OFP it's to blue'ish, not colourfull enough.

After some Photoshop polishing I came up with this:

I think it looks better, more colourfull, better contrast, etc.

My main question is, can ArmA be edited like crysis to get a result like the photoshopped picture? Or is everything hardcoded?

Thanks everyone.

MfG Lee

Hmm, I do think it has to be possible..

The colors are in texture files and those can be edited, same as the rvmat etc. I "think" its possible

[PTV-Jobo 820]

Is a M58 MICLIC a possibility in ArmA? Could it actually work against clearing mines? If so, and if not already requested...then count it as an idea to ponder.

And the more modern Marine stuff (vehicles, etc) the better.

Yet not by editing shaders.

FarCry had more modability in these things than ArmA has..

I think it would have to be some kind of DXDLL-esque thing

[dm 9]

Without having to edit the entire data structure of ArmA, both nVidia and ATi graphics cards come with. or have avialable, a range of tweaking utilities which allow for the adjustment of colour levels, saturation and such settings at render time.

Creating profiles for these tools would probably be the most logical and sensible option, rather than redistributing the entire CA content...

[Maddmatt 1]

...

In that screen it looks like you have post processing turned off. Turning it on might liven up the colour a bit.

ArmA shaders are stored in 'bin.pbo' in the dta folder. The files are "BICompiledShaders_nVidia.shdc" (Nvidia cards) and "BICompiledShaders_Default.shdc" (Anything else, I guess ATI).

If BIS would give out the source files then someone with the skill can probably make some nice shader effects without resorting to using the 'dxdll' method.

Maybe someone could de-compile them? Post processing effects should be in there too.

Maybe getting parallax mapping would also be possible with these files?

Thanks all.

Maybe someone will take a deeper look into this some day.

I suggest make it as separate thread It's idea that deserves topic. Nobody will ever find it in here

I thought 6thSense.eu WeaponPack was about the M-14 / M-21 ?

I am using the 6thsense-mod because of playing on their server and yes, the HK's (416+417) are in and much more.

We need Winter Everon and Winter Nogojev!

i would really like some more weapons on the harriers...

right now i must say it´s pretty useles as a CAS airplane.. especially since it dont use the GBU´s agains unmarked targets and the AI wont use the laser designator in a good way..

that makes the only weapon left for the harrier the cannon, and that isnt very useful against tanks n stuff since it doesnt carry much ammo for it...

the A10 is much better with it´s AGM65 Mavericks and rockets... but i dont like to use the if it´s supposed to be a USMC mission...

so if anyone could put the mavericks on the harriers it would be a lot better... or make some bombs wich dont require the target to be marked by laser that would work too....

Check the IMWM topic and click their link to their forums for screenshots of the Stryker with Slat Armor
