@Janish

There is like 3 or 4 regular multicam units out there already....not to mention all the SF reskins as well and daveygarys rangers....

[Doofy 2]

yeah buddy thats what i mean .the hole spawning on the island your going to attack just doesn't make seance..Some clans out there have 400 plus guys so adding the ability to acually take over a airfield then bring everything you need in from a c-17 with all the logistical trucks, Humvee and Tanks everything, then proceed with mission.. the clan i roll with has 24 hour opes. Like your being deployed so adding "glorified" logistics would add sooooo much to it. imagine your Humvee takes a IED..Doesnt blow it up but makes so it so you need a engineer..Whammy call it in set up perimeter and wait for convoy . if your tanks track is down whammy call it in have the convoy bring the lowboy and bring it back to base for repair..just a thought

[suhsjake 1]

Would it be possible to make a player animation for pump action (like shotguns)?

[max power 21]

I think possibly you could make such a thing for the magazine reload animation, and make each shell a magazine...

I guess also there's a trigger finger animation, so you might be able to extend that into a pump animation.

I think these are being made already by the COMBAT! team. Although they havent said anything in a while.

the I44 devs has made the bolt reloading anims for their bolt action rifles ( enfield, springfield, kar98 and other ), so THIS is possible

Well, without knowing too much about it, it sounds promising. Potential limitations would be like how it's done. Trigger animations and bolt action animations would both animate the right hand. It may be possible but I am uncertain if you can also animate the left hand during that time. Then again, perhaps it's possible to trigger an entirely new gesture at the same time, so it's possible to animate both hands at the same time, so you could have the whole gun physically move like they pump shotguns in the movies or like in the orginial Doom.

The developers of Iron Front have managed to get a reloaded animation for bolt rifles ingame.

(from minute 5:20)

I don't know how easily this could be converted to ArmA 2 and if this would be legal at all.

[max power 21]

Yeah, it looks like the bullets are ammunition and not magazines and both hands are animated. No, it would not be legal to port without permission from the guys at Iron Front.

[Vostok 10]

Hi,

I wonder if there was a mod that would add "parade/ceremonial gear" for soldiers of the USMC ?

like that : http://www.gap-airsoft.fr/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Standards6486.jpeg

Thank you !

Cordially

[Fox '09 14]

No, however I was approached by someone a couple months back who wanted help getting his model in game. I'm too busy to weigh it however if you find someone who is capable I can direct you to him.

[Spectr3 14]

Hiya guys, 2 years ago mr. Aeneas2020 released his A-TAcs reskin for basic US infantry and my buds and I instantly started playing with that and nothing else. We only dropped them when we all had Arrowhead and RFT, due to all the cool stuff introduced by these expansions. We've been silently praying that someone would pick up the idea for an update, but alas, no luck. I PM'd Aeneas2020 yesterday, but no answer yet. Not even sure if he still roams these forum's halls. Anyway, we figured that with ARMA 3 looming, now is the time to ask if anyone is doing a A-TACS update (With backpacks, thermal mapping etc.) or if someone with time to spare would consider it. I know jack about texturing, but I've read on multiple occasions how people do "Quick retex jobs", so I'm asuming those of you who do know, can do so double quick! And yes, fear not, I'm perfectly aware that many modders concentrate on more widely/commonly used camo textures than A-tacs, but hey, I think it looks awesome and one won't know if one doesn't try your luck. Thanks for ANY replies or leads on this request. Cheers.

M4s with EOtech magnifiers, aimpoint magnifiers, Luepold Mk4 CQ/T, Shortdot and PVS-14 attachments for nigt ops, in different variants (203, FL, laser, hand grip, suppressed, combination of some or all) and colors (black, desert and woodland)

I'm aware ACE has some of these (camo M4 with EOT magnifier, camo M4 with Shortdot and black M4 with PVS-14/ACOG), but they're only in one color, don't have a GL or don't have suppressed variants. If I had even the slightest clue how to make or even texture addons and I would attempt to do it myself, but sadly I wouldn't even know where to start :-(

have you tryed the RHS M4 pack ? there's a lot of M4 & M4A1 and their variant in it

[islesfan186 83]

yeah, none of those are in there. the only thing that has even a few of those is ACE (surpressed and no supressed camo M4 with shortdot, camo M4 with EOT magnifier, and black M4 with ACOG/PVS-14). I had PMed Marco Polo asking if he would/could add those when he did an update of his ASC weapons pack, but he never replied and there havent been updates to it in a very long time. like i said i would LOVE to try to make them myself, but when it comes to addon making, i get the confused puppy face (you know, where a dog just looks at you and tilts their head to the side lol)...blender, unwrapping, configs...no clue! everything i do know how to do in arma 2 (which is very limited compared to other members of this community), ive learned from these forums.

a lot of addon maker doesn't do the job themselves, you can maybe get textures ( doing them on photoshop and etc ) and asking from other community member to let you modify their models, and you could ask to something who know about 3D modeling to help with this.

request time : 9th company mod ( aka russian in afghanistan doing russian thing )

If Aeneas2020 doesn't get back to you then I may do it. Also US4CES ;)

[slatts 1978]

Aenesas hasnt been online since 2010 last time i checked so i wouldnt expect one

[Spectr3 14]

@Slatts - Thanks for that, yep no reply at all from Aeneas2020.

@Someguywho - bloddy hell really?! You know what? It would make sense if you wanted to do it...know why? Cause just about all your mods (Except BAF Harrier and US4CES form the ones you listed above) cater for a HIGHLY DESERVING BUT LARGELY UNTOUCHED SUBJECT MATTER.

I feel that you would possibly be the only one who would give this the much needed attention IT DESERVES, just like you've done with your other unique ideas. Yep. Looking at the SUBJECT MATTER that have inspired your previous mods, you sir would be perfect. If you do take the time, you would make all of us here very happy grunts. Thanks for the reply also, I appreciate it. Cheers.

[foffy 58]

Hey guys, I was wondering if you guys could help me with trying to find mods and addons that enhance my ArmA II experience. I've only really bunkered down with ACE and a few of its "spin-offs" like ACRE, but what else should I be going for?

Here are all of the addons I'm using:

1. Advanced Combat Environment

2. Advanced Combat Environment Xtras

3. Advanced Combat Environment Sound Mod

4. Advanced Combat Environment PLA

5. Advanced Combat Environment RU

6. Advanced Combat Environment US Navy

7. JTD Fire and Smoke

8. ASR AI

9. Advanced Combat Radio Environment

10. Cold War Rearmed 2

I don't want to go overkill with things stacking and getting confused (I only downloaded ASR AI as the developer beyond that works on ACE's AI settings) so would I need anything else to make it a better game? Sounds and effects don't bother me so much, as I assume ACE already changes those, so I'd like something that significantly enhances some mechanics to the game. I know there's a guide here on add-ons, but it's rather outdated, referencing old modules and not many new ones like ASR AI and ACRE.
