RH M4/M16 pack 1.0

[Vultar 0]

Yeah cool, but this replace only p3d. Acog sight is still the same. Sounds and interface too. We need sth that will permanently cut BIS M4s ;p

I want to say sth, RH's M4 sound is best m4 sound in our god da** community^^. It's true metallic and very close to some real life warfare films on youtube.

The RH sounds are very well done but I prefer consistency over individualized weapon sounds. A complete sound pack usually takes care of this.

Replacing only the models is actually an advantage to me. The replacement files posted by Flashbang151 &Co. (and make no mistake, they are great, thanks for the effort! ) don't work with weapon crates and some missions.

My personal wish was to find a combination of mods that will turn ArmA into something that is at least similar to what FFUR could deliver to OFP: Removing the cheesy vanilla sounds and weapon models and unleashing the true possibilities of the game. (I'm very particular of how the game ought to look and "feel", really, but this is OT)

This goal is actually quite close to achievement (except for the game code itself, of course - I'm running Vista 64-Bit with 4 Gigs of RAM and you can imagine how that keeps gnawing on me) and I really would like to see a way to get the RH M16A4 model running now.

Then we'd have a basic coverage of all AK74s, M4/M16s and pistols in terms of models (RH), sounds (FROMZ, FDF) and handling (NWD, SIX, MattEffects, Truemods, you name it).

The RH weapon animations and their love of detail add a lot to the combat atmosphere. The sound packs and several of the basic gameplay tweaks round it up perfectly - I just had a two-hour coop session with a good friend ... if it wasn't for yet another desync bug we'd still be playing now.

And if it wasn't for diligent people like RobertHammer, ArmA would've been swept off my hard disc a couple of weeks after I bought it. So thank you again for the hard work. It's really appreciated.

So, referencing my previous post... You DID get RH's M4 and M16 pack to work with soundpack sounds? That is what I am attempting to do. Perhaps I missed something?

Or are you trying to just replace the models? That would get the same effect, except I want his weapons and ammo box with sound-pack sounds. Any help guys?

Thanks to Ryan, who came up with the config.cpp I posted previously, we were able to replace the standard models (and the models only) with RH weapons. So they can be combined with any sound mod or gameplay modifications you desire.

The actual RH pack is still intact and can be used seperately. I will ask Ryan to post the .pbos as I feel all credit should go to him.

We can replace all vanilla AKs, M4/16s and the basic pistols with RH weapons models that way and this is exactly what I was looking for ever since I purchased ArmA.

Edit: Oh, yesh, erhm... The M16A4 models (originally in weapons3.pbo) replacement still doesn't work. If anybody has any idea about fixing that, please let us know, thank you.

We just want the models replaced, but getting sounds in is easy, here's an example:

class cfgWeapons {

class Default; // External class reference

class RifleCore; // External class reference

class Rifle : RifleCore {

};

class M4 : Rifle {

model = "\RH_m4\RH_m4.p3d";

sound[] = {"\RH_m4\sound\m4s.ogg", 5.62341, 1};

};

Weapon Replacements for M4's, Pistols, and AK's - in 3 seperate addons.

Replaces models only.

Ryan, I would love ya if you can make complete replacement.

I mean, models, interfaces, sounds, sights.

If you do it I will marry u xD

@RH

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I was trying your pistol addon, one word and one minus

word: excellent (especially Glock 18)

minus: I think your piZDols are a bit too thin and its in our guy hand, little right from good place lol

I hate to keep asking the same question, but no one has answered it yet. I'm trying to remove the RH sounds from the config.cpp (was config.bin) That way the new weapons will reference the stock sounds, and therefore, sound-pack sounds. I have tried modding the config.cpp file every way I can think of. Every time it ends up with errors of some kind. Any help?

[Ryan_D 0]

You need to make the sounds be the same as the original ones, which you can find in weapons.pbo config. If you use my replacement, it'll replace all original models (and only models) with the new RH models.

[jdhaines 0]

Thanks for the reply. I would rather just use them in a custom ammo crate. Replacements won't give us access to all of the new weapons. (Aimpoint M16, etc.)

How do guys like Wipman get away with not putting any sound information in his config.cpp? (I was comparing the two) When I delete all instances of sounds in Robert's config, it gets crazy errors and won't work.

[Ryan_D 0]

lol it's probably because his weapons aren't 'based' on the originals, which means if you delete the sound in the config it won't have any sound then. If you want different sounds without replacement addons then all I think you can do is edit the addon and replace his sound file...

I know that I became a replace newbie maniac, but when I watch CNN or some films on you tube, I don't know why ArmA US MARINES got M4 Aimpoints? I can't stand it. I decided to edit flashbangs config(all credits to him) and made a TrueEQ for soldiers, means M16A4 with Acogs. Ofc normal infantry, specops got still m4.

Wanna be tha US MARINE?!

The sights should be replaced too, they dont fit with the new model (black and gray- looks like they dont belong together.)

[Ryan_D 0]

Sights are part of the model...

[the.d 0]

Indeed they are.

Sights are amazingly accurate with RH's pack! That's one more reason why we need to kill the vanilla M16A4! The sights don't even compare!

I also suggest to use the NWD addons to spice up the ACOG optics and general ballicstics.

[Duders 0]

Any chance of releasing your models unbinarized?

As i play with no zoom function on the optics I need to edit the eye position on the model or the gun appears too distant in 1st person.

Top quality weaps by the way.

What Eotech? I dont have one listed in mine at all.

See screen shot here:

[acog99 0]

It also seems to me its overwriting my sound mod (fromz sound mod). Is there any way, or is it possible to have just the models and textures, and leave my sounds, ballistics, recoil other mods alone?

yes...use the config posted above

there are no soldiers with the ecotech. just look into the empty-ammo and place the RH m4 ammo box in your editor. You'll then have the whole pack avaible.

@Acog99:

Its what I'm trying to do. Get the weapon crate full of the new RH weapons that will work with sound mods. (Stock sounds) It sounds like its not going to happen.

I understand the replacement idea... But if I want an eotech or to switch while in game, I want to grab a new weapon from a crate and not have to use the given sounds.

[SaBrE_UK 0]

There's an Eotech M4 in the weapon/ammo crate of these weapons.

@Robert Hammer:

- it would be good if you could convert the sound files to .wss, the ogg files causes some lag, in particular when burst or full auto is used.

- even better would be to make the sounds optional since a lot of people are using sound mods, so the could use your models with the sounds they want

Besides this this is a great pack!

[Inkompetent 0]

I haven't checked the data for the addon yet, but maybe bring two configs with it? One for custom sounds and one that inherits sound from the stock M4 and M16 rifles so that people can use their own sound mods?

I think I have an idea of fixing this:

Maybe you should include the CAWeapons3.pbo in to the line:

requiredAddons[] = {"CAData","CACharacters","CAWeapons", "rh_m4"};

Then the patch would inherit the "new" weapons and should replace them.

@Vultar

Do you know why in the .rpt file there is an error listed a lot of times?:

Addon rh_m4 (entry RH_M16A4aim) not found in the list of active addons

This is repeated about 20-30 times in the .rpt file each time I start ArmA with your replacement config.

And there is also 1 line:

Addon rh_m4 (entry RH_m16a4) not found in the list of active addons.

Or is this error connected to the rh_m4 pack itself?

May you, Robert Hammer know more?
