Little Birds in ArmA2

[andersson 285]

Hi Cyborg112

I would love to use your port in a couple of missions, but you need to TAG your work first so it is compatible with other mods. Please tag you addon, classes and so on. It is important.

Go to ofpec and register a tag, if you havent done it already, and update this addon please :)

Love those LittleBirds but now the sound of them is too silent me thinks.

Did you change something on their sounds? :confused:

Best regards.

[froggyluv 2130]

Littlebirds are awesome but they don't show up when using Caa1 Sahrani :confused:

Cyborg112 is using a different class inheritance.

There is two ways to fix this:

1) Cyborg112 uses the OAC tree

2) You create a replacement addon based on the OAC class tree and the unit values of Cyborg112 .

No didn't change the sounds :confused:

Do you have other Mods or only my Little Birds?

Something definitely changed with the sounds, the internal sound is now waaay to quiet, I tried it twice once with all my mods loaded and again with only littlebirds and CBA loaded, it was the same in both

[alpha9 10]

once CAA1 mod is working i dont find The littlebirds in editor, any ideas?

i dont understand what this means

Doh! Wheres William the replacement king when you need him! I was building a mission in Sahrani with these and they actually worked for some reason but when the update came I tried to place the new ones in but had nothing in the editor and the old ones no longer worked either :(

Edit -Actually they worked because I merged a Chernarus mission with Sahrani, hmmm, maybe it'll work again...

[Steelhawk 10]

Great Mod and thx for the work!!

Unfortunately i have a little problem here.

I have added the little bird in our "modded" Evolution Map. Its all running great when i host the map with my machine.

But when i try to run the map on a dedicated server it wont start. The problem is that my friend can acces the server only via ftp. So it is not possible to look at the command server window. But the Problem is definitely the little bird because when i remove it from the mission, the map is loading. (There are also other mods working like Chinook or F16)

Can someone confirm this?

Edit: It seems, that arma2 can not load more than 3 mods if you put the addons in the standard mod folder :(

Even with update I am still getting the UH1 showing up whe trying to place a MH6 in the editor and yes I did use the folder that was inside the CAA1LittleBirds folder shows as MH6 in list but appears as UH1 in preview
