Some good mods to grab?

[Dustin4tw 0]

Sorry if this gets asked a lot or if this happens to be the wrong forum (I didn't see any post like this in the mod discussion forum)

I have been watching some videos and doing some research on adding some mods. Some look pretty amazing!

I just grabbed - Chammy's sound mod, Durg's Vegetation Fix and madmatts ArmA Effects.

Anything else anyone recommend, I cant wait to check these out!

Thanks!!

Well guy, Like I said - I have been doing research however I do like others peoples opinions.. Lazy? I already got some mods I just wanted to know what other people are using.

Douche...

hahaha

Chammy's Sound Mod (heh)

Durg's Vegetation Fix

MaddMatt's ArmA Effects v0.52

Sakakah Al Jawf

Cameron McDonald's 1st InfantryFROMZ' Chinese Stuff

Kegetyst LowPlants v1.1 (Check Vegetation Fix for instructions on how to make them work with Vegetation Fix)

NWD Realistic Ballistics (Oh man, can't live without this one either)

Mapfact's AH-64 and CH-47 Chinooks (misc other stuff as well)

RKS Stuff

Dr. Rebus' Italian Soldiers and RH Imported CS Weapons

XAM's Guillie Snipers

Check out the 'User Missions' area for missions as well. These units and stuff are cool, and if you're ready to try out the editor, awesome, but you have to make your own missions to use these addons. The sound mod, effects mod and ballistics mod, no, but the rest of the soldiers and weapons...

[NoRailgunner 0]

You have to find what addons you like to play with!

How do you define "good mods" or "recommended"? It depends more on how you like to play ArmA - d'accord?!

Only want to point you at the right forum... and show you the options.

If you afraid of reading through threads - try those Addons/Mods out. Additional I recommend you to read some ArmA news at armaholic, armed assault info etc.

I guess addons or mods are vastly mission dependant or what fits your current likings.

I´d say go for the FDF soundmod 1.3,

Realistic Ballistics

Kegetys Lowplants

Genrally for addons that do improve Arma as a whole.

Downloading single addon units won´t make much sense as they are hardly ever used in SP or MP missions. As good as they are, people most of the times refuse to install a single addon only to be able to play a single mission.

Maybe time for a 'Turning ArmA into your favourite game' thread similar to the one OFP had?

If someone can provide me with a full list I might just up them all to my webserver so people can get them all with my tool.

Keeping this up to date will be a bitch though. Also my hostingaccount has "unlimited" datatransfer but i doubt that's true...

[tonedog12 2]

if i use any of these mods can i still join all the servers or will it just be other people that are using the same mod?

[max power 21]

It depends on the mod and how the server is set up. Generally, no, you can use nwd's ballistic mod, unit replacements, fdf sounds, and others regardless of that the server and the other players are running.

Hi tonedog342

You should only use the MODs that are permitted on a particular server; using mods not allowed on a server can be considered cheating and will probably cause a server/game crash due to mismatched data. That is if the server will even allow you to use MODs other than those permitted most dont.

The way you get round this is to use mod folders. If you do a search in the ArmA community wiki http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Main_Page for "modfolders" it will take you to this page http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Modfolders it tells you how to set them up. You make multiple copies of your ArmA shortcut with the -mod switch set to each different mod setup you use

Then you just have a folder on your desktop with all the different shortcuts inside and you choose what version you want to use so you can enter different servers or run different flavours of ArmA, this will be more important with some up and comming MODs hint, hint.

That keeps it all tidy and if you want to play on Vanilla ArmA servers; you still can, as you just use the original shortcut.

Kind Regards walker
