We include over 400 new objects including vegetation (bushes, trees, grass, palms, jungle canopy, rocks etc), civilian housing and military objects. The ground is covered with many brand new textures. Also there is the good old SEB objects and textures present for the original Ia Drang and few other islands. The objects have been now streamlined and optimized, they look better and should give better framerates.

All that material just for editor? Noope, we include 115 single missions, 14 MP missions and 8 campaigns. Brand new mission to get onboard was Vietnam Tour of Duty dynamic campaign based on GDCE by Kutya.

The changelog for fixes contains many entries, read the full list on Documents directory in the download package. But to list few most important; Fixed many model errors on various vehicles. Added more resolution lods to models (better framerates). Tweaked many missions and added many missions (to PMC NAM SEAL campaign for example). Added optional config for the radio comms voices which people requested. Fixed all critical bugs reported and tweaked some configs like proper ammunition etc.

SnakeMan, should you need some work done on my islands for the ArmA conversion, pls contact via the hcpara@hotmail.com address as I no longer have internet @ home, but can check hotmail at work. I don't stop by these forums very often either these days, so email is best.

Congrats on another release, hope to see an ArmA version in the future, again let me know if I can assist in any ways.

First of al great job and thank you for all of your efforts!

I've installed the mod completey as instructed, but for some reason I hear no voices (reports). All of the other sound effects and music work properly. Ideas anyone?

There is a config that eneables the radio voices that you should use instead of the default one, search in "<VTE folder>\bin\"

The installation says nothing about it. How can I make OFP "use" the proper voice config?

Check the "Voices_config.txt" file in the folder "x_vte\Documents\"

There is the explanation on how to do it.

Nice job! But it seems the tortured texture problem of the player in first person still exists. For example, the tortured texture of hands in first person... Any one got the same issue?

That campaign never reached a decent state before it was released, probably why you are having a problem with it.

Thank you. Now I have the original OFP voices. I just don't understand why the mod didn't use them in the first place..?

Did you return to base after you destroyed the mortars? I made the campaign a good while back, and IIRC you have to return to base and then the mission will end. You should also get some sidechat about the mortars.

Hi,

I'm thinking about downloading this mod. But one thing that bothered me since the first nam mod is that in the jungle the AI can see throught most of the foliage.

Is this the same with VTE?

What do you mean by this, do you have a screenshot?

It's the custom face texture being mis-aligned, parts of it appear on the helmet and hands instead. Also the viet face textures have a face within a face.
