Thanks to Armaholic, ArmedAssault.info, and ArmA2Base.de for hosting!

Note: Requires the Community Base Addon. SLX should be compatible with virtually all other mods. SLX works with ACE and OA and has been tested for SP and MP. Install into \ArmA2\@SLX\

PBO descriptions and dependencies:

CBA extended event handers are essentially required by all PBOs. SLX_Cloud.pbo is a dependency for most pbos.

Animation PBOs:

SLX_Anim_AI_LowRifleMove: Makes AIs tactically lower their weapons slightly while walking for proper muzzle discipline.

Dependencies: None.

SLX_Anim_AT_Lying: Adds the prone posture while using launchers.

Dependencies: None.

SLX_Anim_BinocularMove: Adds more varied movement abilities to binocular stances.

Dependencies: None.

SLX_Anim_Crawl: Make the fast crawl mode faster. Based on real life personal experience of crawling.

Dependencies: None.

SLX_Anim_Death: Faster dying animations. Based on timings from real footage.

Dependencies: None.

Dependencies: None.

SLX_Anim_HeadBob: Adds immersive head movement to the get in/out animations.

Dependencies: None.

SLX_Anim_HoldSprint: Turns off continuous sprinting, so that the turbo key can be pressed to sprint and then released to drop back to running instead of stopping to go to jogging. Not sure if it's necessary after one of the patches.

Dependencies: None.

SLX_Anim_Idle: Fixed idle animations so they don't have to finish playing to transition to the dying animations. Made the idle animations take longer between new idle animations so they have time to play. Added more default idle animations.

Dependencies: None.

Dependencies: None.

SLX_Anim_PistolCivil: Adds the safety weapon action and allows pistols to be holstered.

Dependencies: None.

SLX_Anim_Prone: Makes prone have a new collision shape so that rifles don't clip into walls as much, and makes AIs not clip through walls when prone.

SLX_Mod_Veh_Core: Many misc features: Turret speeds, plane gun smoke, no sound in UAV, changed human damage levels and armor based on real life footage and statistics (W. E. Fairbairn), vehicles should not explode by default when destroyed.

Dependencies: None.

SLX_ModWeapons_3D_Optics: Adds models with 3d optic scopes. So far only adds a red dot to the M8 3d model for use with 3d optics.

Dependencies: None.

SLX_ModWeapons_c: Many changes to ammo, magazines, and weapons based on real life footage, statistics, information, and characteristics. Bullet damage changed to have variable amounts of damage based on hit accuracy of the body part so that some bullet hits can be critical hits that do full damage and others can be grazing hits that do less damage. Many values based on CAVS the Common Armor Value System (http://203.96.151.15/ofpnz/ofsi_cavs.htm) which translates real life muitions statistics into game values, many of the sources and information are documented in the .cpp comments, most explsives values are based on actual explosives charge weight. AI settings changed to make AI use the weapons, ammunition, and fire modes effectively as humans would.

Dependencies: None.

Default bullet values and calculations:

hit = 7; // Diameter in millimerters rounded up + 1? Should be about + 1.5-2. 5.45 or 5.56->6+1=7

indirectHit=1; // Always 1. Indirect damage is applied to the hit points based on how far away they the hit is. The closer the hit is to the hit point the more indirect damage there is. This somewhat simulates the random damage effects that bullet hits seem to have. (See W.E. Fairbairn) Some hits will be close to the hit point and give more damage simulating hitting a vital area like hitting an artery. Some shots will hit far from any hit points and will have less damage simulating a flesh wound that doesn't hit anything vital like muscle or a grazing shot along the skin.

indirectHitRange=0.08; // .05 for pistol, .08 for boat tail, .9 for long boat tail, .1 for fragmenting bullet. Range to hit other hit points such as arms+torso, etc. Indirect damage is applied to all hit points within range. 2 indirect damage to arms + 2 indirect damage to torso + 2 indirect damage to head = 6 damage applied. Damage is scaled down for hit points further away.

(Disabled: AIs shooting IEDs and mines to detonate them if they see them.)

Dependencies: SLX_AI_Dodge, SLX_NetCode, SLX_VehicleEffects (optional).

SLX_Shout: Makes people say stuff.

Dependencies: SLX_NetCode.

SLX_SilentVehicleCommands: No spoken commands in vehicles for faster responses.

Dependencies: None.

SLX_SINCGARS: Adds the AN/PRC-119 SINCGARS radio.

Dependencies: None.

SLX_Suppression_Effects: When people are shot at close enough a lot they duck lower, breathe quickly, and their hands shake a little.

Dependencies: SLX_Wounds.

SLX_T72_Destroyed: Adds T72 destroyed effect replacing destroyed T72s with the more detailed models. Sometimes the turret explodes off and has a chance of catching on fire if SLX VehicleEffects is on.

Dependencies: None.

SLX_TankCommanderGun: Makes tank commanders turn out when firing external commander guns.

Dependencies: None.

SLX_TankHatches: Makes tank crews open the hatches when getting in or out of tanks.

Dependencies: None.

SLX_TankSmoke: Makes tank commanders fire the smoke grenades when the tank gets hit or there is an incoming missile. Also fixes smoke effect to not lag.

Dependencies: None.

SLX_UAV: Changes UAV to be more usable and less likely to crash. Press the marker key to set the laser designator on a target, and wait for the UAV to line up for targeting and firing. Click on the map to turn off the laser and set the UAV to fly somewhere else for observation.

Dependencies: None.

SLX_VehicleEffects: When a vehicle is damaged an effect will happen relevant to the amount and position of the damage. Vehicle damage effects include munitions malfunctions, fuel leaks, fire, tire blowouts, broken glass, main rotor damage, tail rotor failure, and temporary engine failure. If a vehicle is hit in the engine, fuel tank, or body, it has a chance of starting a fuel leak. If a vehicle is leaking fuel it is vulnerable to catching on fire if it gets damaged again. The extent of the fire is based on the amount of damage the vehicle has, starting out as a small fire and eventually consuming the entire vehicle, then burning back down before extinguishing. The fire does damage to the vehicle and nearby things, ammunition cooks off while burning, and sometimes nearby things get set on fire. Fire can be put out by repairing the vehicle, submerging it in water, going over 400 kph, or if the fire is small enough you can try using the "put out fire" action (which has a somewhat random chance of working) until the fire goes out. People disembarking from a burning vehicle have a chance of catching fire proportional to the damage of the vehicle. They can put the fire out by getting healed or by keeping moving. People on fire will automatically crawl forward prone to keep moving, you can also try rolling on the ground to put the fire out. People sometimes burn up into charred body parts after they die and SLX Wounds is active. Helicopters with main rotor damage become more unstable the more damaged they are, eventually tearing themselves apart and crashing if they are too damaged. When a helicopter with main rotor damage crashes it throws up lots of dirt and dust as the blades are smashed apart on the ground.

Dependencies: SLX_NetCode, SLX_Shout.

SLX_Wounds: Based on real life footage and statistics (W. E. Fairbairn, FBI, police, thehighroad.org, etc).

Dependencies: SLX_NetCode, SLX_Shout, SLX_VehicleEffects (optional).

Location based wound effects on people when they are hit.

Arms - Small chance of an accidental discharge of their primary weapon. Small chance of dropping primary and/or secondary weapon when arms are very damaged.

Legs - Good chance of falling down prone if legs are very damaged. No effect when already prone.

Torso - Good chance of getting knocked down and out of breath for a second if damage is over 50%. If the torso is over 80% damaged and overall health is less than 60% then the person is critically wounded.

Head - 30% chance of temporary deafness and a 40% chance of temporary deafness, disorientation, and falling down if head is less than 50% damaged, most likely caused by grenade blasts. 90% chance of temporary deafness and falling if head is over 50% damaged.

If the person is hit in the head, body, or legs and overall health is less than the "SLX_Wounded" value then they are critically wounded.

Critically wounded :

The person drops their primary weapon and lays on the ground writhing and screaming until either they are healed or die. They are unable to shoot any weapons, but can still throw hand grenades, so watch out. Killing wounded people that pose no threat at the moment(haven't thrown a hand grenade) will deduct 450 rating points. So if you have 0 rating points and killing a soldier gets +200 rating points and you kill a wounded soldier you end up with -250 rating points.

Dragging wounded/dead:

Wounded or dead people can be dragged to a safer location for giving first aid, corpse recovery, or item scavenging. Be careful of moving heavily wounded people though, moving them might kill them. Objects can also be dragged.

Giving first aid to wounded:

Giving first aid is based on the skill of the person giving first aid. If first aid is unsuccessful in stabilizing the wounded person's condition then you will have to wait for a while before trying again. Giving first aid gives you rating points proportional to the skill of the person first aid is being given to.

Taking captives:

If a wounded enemy is healed they will surrender. They can be taken captive and you can tell them to stay or follow you. If the captive is too far from you they will try to escape and continue fighting. Taking captives gives you rating points proportional to the skill of the person being taken captive. Killing captives suffers the same rating deduction as for killing wounded. For a zero skilled soldier you should get 200 points for giving them first aid and taking them captive, the same as if you had killed them, but if you kill them after giving first aid and taking them captive you still end up losing 50 rating points.

Moving people/objects in vehicles:

People/objects can be moved into vehicles by getting into the vehicle while dragging or by using the Drag or Follow action when in a vehicle to load more than one object. Make sure the action is in your action menu when entering the vehicle or you won't be able to use it. There must be free cargo space in the vehicle for the person to enter. Try moving the person to the other side of the vehicle from where you enter, then look at the person and the action should show up. An action is added to the vehicle to unload wounded and dead people.

Dropped weapons:

Dropped weapons can be destroyed by using the action menu close to them or by damaging(by shooting, etc) them to 50%. They can only be picked up by the action menu. They are affected by physics and can get thrown into the air from explosions.

AI's helping wounded/dead:

AI's will automatically try and help wounded or dead people. They will attempt to drag them into a safer position before giving first aid or scavenging weapons. AI's immediately go into alert mode when someone is wounded or killed.

AI's taking secondary weapons and machine guns:

If someone with a secondary weapon or a machine gun dies then another AI from their squad will attempt to come and pick up the weapon.

Dismemberment:

If a person is killed with a high explosive and their velocity is high enough then they will be torn apart. Can be disabled by setting number of gibs to zero.

SLX_Wounds_AIS: Replaces the BIS Alternative Injury System when enabled to fix wounded people taking too much damage before dying.

Dependencies: None.

Optional addons:

SLX_Birds: Adds birds on the ground that fly away to somewhere else when disturbed.

SLX_NoFirstAid: Disables giving first aid in SLX_Wounds.

SLX_NoGibs: Disables dismemberment in SLX_Wounds.

SLX_NoManeuver: Disables maneuvering in GL3. (Bounding overwatch to attack/withdraw, take cover to defend, traveling to provide backup.)

SLX_NoMoveObject: Disables moving objects in SLX_Wounds.

SLX_NoSurrender: Disables surrendering in GL3.

######### Installation #########

To install SLX Mod:

Copy the @SLX folder to your ArmA2 directory where your ARMA2.exe is located.

To edit the shortcut command line:

Find or make a shorcut to ArmA2 and right click it then select properties. Find the line that says "Target:" and has something like this:

"C:\ArmA2\ARMA2.EXE"

Then add -mod=@SLX on the end so it looks like this:

"C:\ArmA2\ARMA2.EXE" -mod=@SLX

Remember to keep the quotation marks in the same position. Then click apply and OK. You can also run other mods and disable the spash screen like this:

"C:\ArmA2\ARMA2.EXE" -nosplash -mod=@Addons;@SLX

Great work, can you please upload it to ofpec.com or armedassault.info

[Supah 0]

Here's a pack of the ArmA2 SLX Mod addons so far: http://www.filefront.com/14399363/SLX_Mod_ArmA2.rar

Test them out and give feedback if you want. They need the CBA addon for the extended eventhandlers. I tried to make them more separate so they can all be released individually. The AI settings might be off since I have to run on the lowest settings on the laptop I'm using and I can't see very far in the game.

BIS did a pretty good job implementing a lot of ArmA1 SLX Mod features but there always seem to be things that need more polishing and fixing. The most critical problem in ArmA 2 is the findcover and sethidebehind functions not working, leaving AI's usually trying to hide in front of things when using the default AI.

Take care.

Could you outline what exactly this mod does?

[SASrecon 0]

Solus or anybody else, could you post some screenies please, i like to see what im downloading before i do it ;-)

[snkman 351]

Hi Solus, :)

greate to see you working on ArmA 2. ;)

@SASrecon

Simply dl and try it by yourself. I bet you will not regret it.

[.kju 3244]

Welcome back Solus :)

Do you have Skype installed for a talk?

[kremator 1065]

Yeah welcome back Solus!

Downloading and testing them out !

[Alex72 1]

Very nice Solus! :)

About screenshots: Can this addon even be seen with screens? Arent we talking about AI changes etc?

Alex

[Nazul 10]

Just had a quick game with this mod. I was watching the AI shooting at me from behind cover at 370m, leaning from behind a wall, made it really hard to hit him! nice.

One of the bullet crack sounds is really loud, Im in the process of finding which pbo it is.

Would it be possible for brief explanation what each pbo does pls.

[Guest]

Great work, can you please upload it to ofpec.com or armedassault.info

Don't forget the best community website as voted by this community Armaholic.com, would be a waist if we dont cover it wouldn't you say?

Release frontpaged at the Armaholic homepage.

SLX mod for ArmA2



Community Base addons

[paragraphic l 2]

My jaw dropped when I saw the topic name and that you posted it yourself.

Welcome back Solus, don't you ever leave us like that again man! We need your

genius skills to bring magic into this game! :D

[Preacher1974 0]

Hi Solus - thanks for releasing this, I really love your work. I just tried running it with CBA and the -showScriptErrors command line argument and there are a whole bunch of script errors (undefined variables) when ArmA starts and loads the menu screen.

[OrdeaL 10]

Great mod! but can we please have some detailed info whats in each PBO so we know what to disable if we dont wanna use something. Thanks again tho dude! great mod

[Shadow NX 1]

Indeed great to see someone back that entertained us since the OFP days :)

Didnt find the time to try the new version yet but also would like to say thanks for the addon.

Also would like to know what exactly is changed though to know what i need to test.

[Damonkey 10]

Don't forget the best community website as voted by this community Armaholic.com, would be a waist if we dont cover it wouldn't you say?

What wrong with it when i ask, can you upload it to ofpec.com or armedassault.info, and not mentioned your site??

Ofcourse it would be a waist. PS. You were voted in the year 2008??? so what are you talking about? You are admin WTF pretty arrogant there.

So ofpec.com may not have file mirrors?? It doesnt mean that you are owning this community even if you have won the awards.

Ps. Does anyone have picturesof this addon?

[cole 0]

There isn't much to take pictures of really, it's mostly AI improvements, some animation fixes, different wouding system (different from the First Aid modules), and various little tweaks.

But I like what I see, good to have you back Solus :)

[Lunatic 10]

Cant get the M203 to work with this mod, maybe i'm missing something but the grenades just don't seem to be in the weapon.

Also you can't stop dragging someone once you've started using the original first aid module.

Some of the anims are very jerky, but don't know why.

A good start but that WIP for you.

[Flarmapoint 2 10]

YAAAAY awesome! :D The only problem i have id with the wounding part of the mod, i see erratic flickers of the blood on the ground when i shoot someone, and when an explosive goes off near asoldier the game pauses and lags for atleast 8 seconds, and then soldier goes flying to the sky lol

Really nice mod though, good to see you back with the best mod ever! :D

[5urge 10]

i have the same problem when i'am shooting at an enemy the wounding system kicks in (nice addon might i add) and blood drips on the floor but a milli second later an explosion sounds.

But everytime i shoot the same thing happens after every round hits the enemy,

i tried to remove the pbo for wounds and run the game which i did successfully but the explosions still happen.

P.S Outstanding Mod

[thales100 10]

Sound great, thanks Solus. :)

[nullmorpheme 10]

5urge I experienced the same problem.

1. The explosion sounds follow me everywhere, till oposing force operating.

explosions stop when I hide in a building or kill all enemy.

2. Shooting RPG at a Unit causes the game to freeze for at least 5 seconds

3. Dragging a wounded unit: Canceling the dragging by "TO BACK SEAT" the wounded unit keeps laying at a meter hight, so do the blood splats. "eject" and "get out" seem Ok. But the AI prefers "to back seat" command.

thats it :) still my favorite MOD in OFP,AA,AA2

[twisted 128]

awesome. great to see solus is back. he has always delivered some of the most innovative and feature pushing mods. certainly will downlaod this evening. :)

[Inkompetent 0]

Great to see you active again, Solus! Really looking forward to see what your magic fingers will manage to put together :)

[DTM2801 10]

Great addon, like the new wound/firstaid system. Hopefully the move in back action can be fixed. Also the sounds arent optimal yet (when firing a rifle it has a very loud repeatable clickingsound). In general a very nice addition, thank you very much.

[manzilla 1]

Sweet, Solus is back! I look forward to checking this out. Like paragraphic l my jaw dropped when I saw the title and it hit the desk when I saw the link. What a great surprise.

Thanks again bud.
