Also do NOT have the 1.0 Core pack installed, this is a full version Beta, having the old core pack will cause issues.

Congrats for a good job. Nice looking units and also good vehicles.

I have seen a couple of bugs, though.

-The land rovers, SRPV and LRPV crew proxies cannot be killed.

-I get a message saying that the weapon proxy of the AGM 142 cannot be opened.

- The fuel value of the aardvark is a little low.

- You cannot aim the ARH tiger hellfires with Tab, you have to aim manually.

I'll keep posting any other findings, but overall looks very good!!!!

And I hope you had a good ANZAC day

Lest we forget!!!

Nice Job...and yes I was playing with them...hehehe

Cheers and congrats on making the release day. Perfect timing my friend :)

I detected some issues:

- Tiger and CH47 seems to have some materials missing:

Cannot load material file adf_air\textures\arh\arh_tiger_destruct.rvmat

Cannot load material file adf_air\textures\arh\m299_destruct.rvmat

Cannot load material file adf_air\textures\arh\rockets_destruct.rvmat

Cannot load material file adf_air\textures\ch47\main_hc2_green_generic_rv.rvmat

Cannot load material file adf_air\textures\ch47\main_hc2_green_generic_destru1_rv.rvmat

Cannot load material file adf_air\textures\ch47\cargo_destruct1_rv.rvmat

Warning Message: Cannot open object una_chinook\glt_ch47_blurred_back.p3d

Warning Message: Cannot open object una_chinook\glt_ch47_blurred_front.p3d

- You use a 3-man config for the M1A1, so the loader gun muzzle is visible. When you use a 3-man config, you may remove the corresponding zasleh from the model to fix this issue.

- The ASLAV Bushmaster seems to fire from the mainguns position.

BR,

mike

odd, they're in there for sure, checked multiple times.

Will check about the blurred texture issue, tho once again in the model it shows nothing pointing to that location.

Damn gremlins

Thanks for feedback

I've never noticed the Tiger issue, are you running ArmA or Ace, because the mod isn't tested with Ace.

I'll get onto the proxy issues right away, thanks :)

Great job guys, a great set of addons.

The fix solved many of the errors but there's still a few small bugs:

-The lights on the ASLAV are always on

-On the ASLAV the gunners legs stick out through the turret when you turn out

-The M240 from the machinegunner disappears as you get farther from the unit

May I ask what ammo does the SR-25 use? Do you have a complete list of the weapons and ammo names?

[ricoadf 0]

the SR-25 uses "ADF_7_62_20rndSD_mag" for the silanced and "ADF_7_62_20rnd_mag" for normal varient. I'll do a list of weapons and ammo asap :)

[.kju 3245]

Congratz to you Rico and ADF!

Impressive setup - I will make replacement configs for sure. :)

Also a vehicle set for my vehicle DM I assume.

More feedback once having played with the pack!

Thanks for hosting

Hey Rico. Congrats on release. Downloading now. Looking good mate. Well scheduled release :)

[modemmaik 53]

Hi RicoADF,

I found an interesting comment about this "missing material" issue:

(Rellikki) By default, BinPBO ignores rvmat files and leaves them out of the binarized PBO. There should be an option for it on BinPBO to disable the ignoring. Simply uncheck (or check, can't really remember) the rvmat files and re-binarize the PBO and it should work all right.

Edit: Hmm, OK, I didn't read the last bit of your post. Are you sure the rvmat files are in the binarized PBO even with the setting? Try unpbo'ing the binarized PBO and manually copy and paste the rvmat files in there and re-pbo it.

The binarization process removes "unused" materials (rvmat's not used in the model, but used as damage materials).

BR,

mike

[thesun 14]

You can also include a small .p3d (one LOd) with all the necessary "unused"/damage maped. Then, the BinPBO will binarize them for a cost o few more kBs, which is size of the created .p3d.

[ricoadf 0]

ah k, learn something new every day, thanks I'll check it out now :D

There don't seem to be any options for the RVMAT, however there is a list where you can put file formats that are copied directly, I've upboed the Bin pbo and it is missing them so that must be the issue, thanks ill ask Rellikki about it. Would also explain the CH47.

Awesome, thank you guys! :ok:

[ricoadf 0]

I was hoping an aussie mirror would pop up soon :D

[kabong 1]

How do you get the cargo hook on the CH47 working?

Can you set the ramp to manual?

[ricoadf 0]

the ramp is set to auto to reduce the action menue's size, often its been anoying that u have to manually open and close it and from what ive seen its never used if as such, so I've set it to auto so that its handeled by the computer.

Atm the cargo hook does nothing, thats there for a future ability ;)

[karensman08 10]

I am having an issue with the ASLAV-25. Whenever I map click for a destination for the AI to drive to, the AI drive extremely slow. Also, I just found out today that the ASLAV gets stuck on bridges.

Does anyone have any fixes for these? Thanks.

[pathetic_berserker 4]

Hmmm, was poking about with this MOD this morning for no real reason and I noticed that the Tiger was a showing blue canopy and some damage texture errors. I was otherwise occupied at the time of the packs release so wasn't realy on the ball with this one. sorry.. and I can only speculate as to why it occurs as I didn't complile the larger pack. So out of curiosity I simply dropped in the last version that I had worked on, in with the rest of the MODs addons an presto no more errors.

If your out there Rico I hope you don't mind me releasing this little fix, I havn't had any reply from your e-mail in awhile???

And sorry all for not finding a solution earlier

Adf_tiger fix found here (no readme, just put in with rest of ADFmod addons)
