TBR Grenades for ArmA2 (v1.3)

by

-------------------------------------------------

NOTE: some addons requires CBA (http://dev-heaven.net/projects/show/cca)

INFORMATION

Modifies grenades and grenade-launchers in ArmA2 to increase carrying capacity.

40mm grenades are now coming in 3-packs (that only takes up 1 ammo-slot). Maximum carrying capacity of 8x3 = 24 grenades.

30mm grenades comes in 5-packs, but these takes two slots. Maximum carrying capacity of 4x5 = 20 grenades.

Grenades will auto-reload within a pack, since the game treats a pack as a magazine, but reload time is set to 3 seconds. Normal reload must be performed between packs.

Sound has been added to the reload animation (this is untested in MP, so it might sound strange).

Handgrenades (and smokegrenades) come in 2-packs (occupying one slot).

All weapons that use the M203Muzzle or GP25Muzzle are (or should be) automatically compatible.

INCLUDED ADDONS

tbr_handgrenades_a2.pbo

- 2-packs for handgrenades

tbr_smokegrenades_a2.pbo

- 2-packs for smokegrenades

tbr_launched_grenades_a2_xeh.pbo

- 3-packs for 40 mm grenades

- 5-packs for 30 mm grenades

- animated reload between rounds (not when the currently used pack is empty)

- this addon requires CBA (http://dev-heaven.net/projects/show/cca)

- out-of-the-box configured for ArmA2 standard GL's and (some of) RobertHammers GLs

tbr_launched_grenades_units_a2.pbo

- Fix for troops using AK-style grenade-launchers (they were carrying huge amounts of grenades).

- Completely optional if you want to have a challange.

USERCONFIG

muzzles.hpp contains this row:

muzzles[] = {"m203muzzle","rh_m203muzzle","gp25muzzle","rh_ag36muzzle","xm320muzzle"};

If you want support for more grenade-launchers, somply add their muzzlenames to the array...

INSTALLATION (incredibly brief)

1. Copy the included @tbr-folder to your ArmA2-folder

2. Copy the userconfig-folder to your ArmA2 root-dir

3. Add -mod=@tbr to your shortcut.

For a longer, and more pedagogical explanation go to Armaholic's FAQ -- http://www.armaholic.com/plug.php?e=faq&q=18

ok, tested, works good, thanks!

btw: isn't it possible to use the reload animation in some script, that would auto-execute after firing the grenade?

tbr_launched_grenades_a2_xeh.pbo

- as above, but with animated reload between rounds (not when the currently used pack is empty)

This just made the addon perfect! Thanks!

Excellent addon, thanks. :ok:

[Simon C 0]

Excellent stuff. :D

Is it possible to add the reload sound to the reloads too? As in the reloads between each grenade in the pack. :)

Thank you!

I honestly don't know. I'll check in to it.

[thebarricade 7]

I'll check in to it.

I have tried, but to no avail. So, no, no reloading sounds, unless someone can give me some pointers on how to achieve it. :confused:

Ok, thanks anyway mate. Loving this addon, works flawlessly.

Thanks thebarricade - good addon!

[manzilla 1]

Thanks thebarricade - good addon!

No doubt. I'm glad this was done for A2. A similar version that was released for A1 was one of my favorites. I used it every time I played. Thanks again thebarricade!

Thanks for this fix! :)

Just curious if the AI is able to handle this new fire and reload feature without issues?

I've been testing that a bit, and the AI doesn't seem to have any particular problem with the addon. The one annoyance/problem I discovered was that the AI has a tendency to try to lie down immediately after firing a grenade, only to stand up again as the reload-animation kicks in (it will the lie down again, so it doesn't seem to be a big problem).

There is a bug with this mod when using it with the RH weapon pack. The M203 becomes a semi auto grenade launcher. If you have 1 M203 "magazine" loaded, with 3 rounds, you can fire them as fast as you can click. Is this something that can be fixed with this mod? or is it a RH weapon pack mod issue?

[thebarricade 7]

I have finally improved the auto-reload feature!

You can now add your own gl-muzzles via userconfig (see the readme for more info)

For fun one can add "huntingrifle" or "m40a3" to the muzzles-array...

This forces a reload animation after each round... :p

[domokun 515]

anyone know if this is compatible with OA?
