SLX MOD public release

[ckolonko 0]

The only problem i have with SLX is that sometimes a unit will get stuck and start having a standing fit. I dont know whats goin on.

[kuIoodporny 45]

My thoughts about the mod:

- The "bin" area should be untouched, most of it's changes can be stored in addon configs. [f. e. SLX vehicle tracer impact effect]...

- all mod's nonscripted special effects should be optional and storied in single PBO.

- I suggest splitting ModWeapons into weapon model replacement and weapon & ammo config.

- ShotEffects into Tracers, VehicleEffects (cmdrgun) and SmokeEffects

- vehicle effects should behave more 1.14 way (smaller secondary explosions) and allow the player to use 3rd party fire/smoke effects.

- other mod's features such like FOV should be optional.

- bullets indirectHit... i hate the way it hurts me every time i hit the near rock's hitbox and my hands get hurt! Couldn't indirecthitranges be smaller?

- The animation config can be stored in SLX_Anims

Currently I can't play without SLX mod!

is there any way to grab SLX satchel effect , and put it in ECS ?

hello sirs,

firstly thanks for a job well done.

now, i have a question if anyone tried using AI controlled choppers. with SLX on, they just wont land properly, they always crash.

2nd question: how do i turn off that "up goes the aim when sb is hit" i couldnt even find the variable controlling the up-down angle of aim. i know it may seem very real to some, but i still feel like im shooting ducks. ( boom -- "quack", boom -- "quack" ... you catch my drift?).

3rd question: is there a way to turn on only the group link feature? because that script set is pure gold, the rest (smoke/dust effects,all that dragging wounded, mighty skintanium armor of blufor, the list goes on...) im desperately trying to turn off. or if there is any else AI enhance mod that lets one squad know what happens around the corner and makes em fight a little better.

tanks a load.

I've only just got round to trying this and I'm getting an error when trying to install.

"ERROR: ..\Addons\ca.pbo not found!"

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Its funny, I removed all .pbo with part 'Anim' but SLX animations were still working... I give up ;p

Is there any way to get the crossair back?

I like to play with it

The cross-hair is discussed in previous pages, but I can't remember the exact pages.

Just an update:

I still haven't seen an error message since the very first time I started SLX using v1.14. I'm slowly coming to the conclusion that I must have been dreaming about ever seeing those 2 error messages.

Their config is stored in @SLX\bin\config.cpp

Do you have the bin folder?

Because I do keep getting this error

@archsceptic: this is when you press the .bat file wright? not ingame? Create a folder in your ArmA root and call it 'beta' in there make a folder called 'addons' and in there place the ca.pbo located in your 'ArmA/Addons' folder, the same goes for the weapons.pbo file if you want to use the costum muzzle flashes

@Hadudy: My AI always land the chopper properly, try it on ramadi island on some flat area, if it still happens then check if you have some other add-ons, if not please report this in the

SLX BUGTRACKER

About aim and stuff, please report this in the bugtracker as well

And about GL3, you should be able to use the slx_gl3.pbo without any other addons... it only requires the Extended_Eventhandlers.pbo , I'm not sure what is and what isn't included in only GL3 but you should have some smarter AI than vanilla.

@gl33k: not sure about being able to put something IN ECS, that's for that mod team to answer but if you check in the pbo's you'll probably find something you can copy into a seperate addon

@zGuba: thanks for your thoughts on this I'll be sure to post them to Solus when able.

@ckolonko: what do you mean?

Its like the original group where squadmates cant enter vehicles without command only if your squad leader can tell you to do it. If your a leader then you can enter any vehicle. If your a lone soldier then you should be able to drag any one.

I found the 'missing' aiming dot !

First un-pbo    slx_modweapons_c.pbo

Find the section

---------------------CODE SAMPLE-------------------

class Rifle : RifleCore {

// SLX ADD : Access.

//// access=1;

autoFire = true;

reloadAction = "ManActReloadMagazine";

//soundContinuous = 0;

optics = false;

scope = protected;

**// cursor = "RifleCursor";

**// cursorAim = "\ca\Weapons\Data\w_weapon_S";

// SLX MOD : No crosshairs.

&& cursor="\ca\Weapons\Data\clear_empty";

&& cursorAim = "\ca\Weapons\Data\clear_empty";

value = 4;

//displayName = $STR_DN_RIFLE;

nameSound = "rifle";

//reloadTime = 0.15;

//modelOptics = "-";

//sound[] = {""};

//drysound[] = {"\ca\Weapons\Data\Sound\M16_cock_v1", 0.000316228, 1};

// //reloadsound[] = {"", 1, 1};

---------------------CODE SAMPLE-------------------

REMOVE the **//

COMMENT IN the && with //

Now re-pbo the file eh voila !  SLX mod WITH aiming !

Enjoy.

EDIT  If you want the MG to have the aim dot then look for MGunCore and do the same thing as above.

im getting a error about m4 anims now i cant load the game anymore with slx on anyone else ?

Do you have tsn_lr.pbo( Land Rover Defender 110 AddOns) in the main AddOns folder or a Mod folder by any chance? If you do, you need to DL it again. The original release on May 16th gave a similar error when playing with SLX. TheSun released a fixed version a few days later that solved the problem.

Here's a link for it:

http://www.eprison.de/files/144/3989

If you never DL'd this AddOn then I'm afraid I can't offer any other suggestions.

Hopefully this solves your problem.

[charliereddog 9]

Can anyone tell me how to renable the aimpoints for the helicopters? It's either SLX or SLX vehicles which has removed them (as well as the tab lock thingy, but I'm less bothered about that) but I can't find it in the configs.

Makes any sort of accurate fire impossible for me.

dude thanks a bunch ! its working again

In response to the question. Sometimes when a unit reaches an objective the unit will get stuck. This mostly happens on the road surfaces of arma and sometimes when a unit exits a vehicle, The unit will just stand on the spot and shake from side to side. This happens often with the commander of the unit.

It's my pleasure. It's good to hear you got SLX working.

I will try to recreate this, but in the year i've tested it I've never seen this, so would you please record the steps you take and the shaking and stuff.

And check the .rpt if it maybe reports something about this event

And thanks to anyone helping the others in this thread

That happened to me with other units than the commander, and vanilla ArmA on the "warfare map". So it must not be related to any mod.
