missing weapon in Arma - MP5 with stock

Edited September 13, 2009 by vilas

love the Marder Vilas!

i hope you´ll release it with some early 90´s german infantry aswell.

and i´m really hoping for the weapons pack :)

(especially the swedish weapons wich i hope you´ll convert for A2)

[echo1 0]

Speaking of Swedish weapons, did you ever make a Carl Gustav SMG -

[the_shadow 0]

i dont think he did.

if needed i can get plenty of reference material on it though.

however it´s taken out of service now (after some 60 years of active service in the swedish armed forces)

a really simple, rugged and good SMG..

would look great in the hands of the Chernarussian guerillas ;)

[echo1 0]

Also obligatory for the 'Nam mods :p

I think it's a cool gun, but that's probably national bias because the Irish army used to issue it to troops along with the FN FAL until they were replaced by the Steyr AUG in the late 80s.

[SCAR1509 10]

Very nice addons Vilas!

But could you build some more SF-Units for ArmA2 I would be very please if somebody like you would create something like this.

notice for people interested in Polish army addon

the addon was updated,

update contains some new models, new weapons and fixed some bugs

still glasses bug appears, i used BIS example head proxy and i have no idea why it happens

soon after P85 base addons release i want update skins for uniforms cause they are too poor and i will change them as i will find time

P85 addons will be released in public beta stage because we all have families, friends, real life, work/job and many other things and the older we are, the less time for hobby left

so P85 conversion will be very very soon

screens of update:

[RUDOLF 9]

Fully understand. Hope to have the P85 soon!

[echo1 0]

Polish soldiers look great, and I'm looking forward to the beta release of P85. One of the reasons I still have ArmA I installed on my machine is to play around with your addons - Once P85 and ACE have been brought over to ArmA II, that will be epic.

[teilx 4]

any chance to see your ww2 pack in arma 2??

[vilas 477]

any chance to see your ww2 pack in arma 2??

it is too poor in quality

first after P85 addons release i must do new textures for Polish pack, cause present are not good enough (my addon was A1 conversion, not new addon)

after finishing NPL i will have some time for WW2/WW1

[TRexian 0]

Hey - didn't you have a civ plane in A1? Cessna? Piper? :D Would love to see that!

[vilas 477]

concerning Polish addon - i promissed i will upgrade quality of NPL uniforms and i will :)

i get photo taken from ladder and on the floor there was laying belt of fabric of which is real uniform manufactured

so every dot/color stain will be as in real thanx to real fabric from factory :)

http://www.armaholic.eu/vilas/other/ueswip.jpg

of course sewing and etc will be added

simply previous textures were from Arma1 because in begining i told that NPL addon is conversion from Arma1

concerning P85 addons - now some people have it for test and i hope soon give community beta-stage addons: troops, weapons, vehicles

what will be new in P85:

- Arma2 quality weapons types e.g. AK, RPK, SA, MG, FAL... some weapons will left with Arma1 shaders because of HDD crash and lost of 30% of weapons MLODs

Arma 1 shaders look poor in Arma2 engine, so HK G3 will not be as shining as AKM, PK etc.

- soldiers compatible with Arma 2 except glasses bug

- vehicles with working suspension , Marder added, vehicles from Arma1 lack in Arma2 (5 ton truck, Vulcan, M113)

- some modern weapons and vehicles will be erased to not mess with much better BIS BMP3, T90 etc. and to not mess with for example modern Polish addon

- there will be some bonuses as modern Russian army units , police units holding weapons

200 weapons models including bonus modern weapons as AK101, AK103, AK105, AK107, AS VAL, HK P8, MG4, AG36

over 80 vehicles models (not saying about reskins of A2 BMP2, URAL etc), 95 soldier models

screen of modern Russian bonus was shown on F-Ru

http://www.armaholic.eu/vilas/scr/a2_rus1.jpg

difference from BIS soldier is in ShadowNX RHS reskin used in A1 too and realistic model of vest

BIS soldiers look super but vest model (collar, stomach part) is not perfect

stay tooned :D

[Binkowski 26]

Great models as always I love those AK101's, AK103's, and AK105's. Looking top notch as always. Can't wait for a release!

[da12thMonkey 1943]

- soldiers compatible with Arma 2 except glasses bug

What's the problem with glasses that you are experiencing?

Looking forward to further releases from you Vilas.

[vilas 477]

i used BIS head proxy in model taken from BIS Example for Arma2, i used BIS cfg_skeletons and cfg_models and glasses are in middle of head , in skull

[Binkowski 26]

Did you replace your old NVG proxy with the new one? I do know that the glasses are based off of the NVG proxy.

[vilas 477]

hi :)

because of real-life issues, lack of time and etc. (we all growing and along with time have less time for joy, more duties, etc.) I have no so much time for my hobby as I would like to have

that's why I am releasing links to Project'85 conversion for Arma2

many of weapons left in Arma1 quality

some stuff owned by other mod and alowed us to use only for Arma1 has been reworked

thanx list is the same as for Arma1

sorry for not finished job, I hope you enjoy it anyway

not finished job, I hope you enjoy it anyway

.................stay tooned :D

?????

anyway thanx for you job))

[vilas 477]

@nikita320106

unfinished meant:

- glasses bug (i must find "why" later, now private life, Polish addon, City Life addons)

- many weapons still have Arma 1 shaders (materials) which means they look not good in Arma 2 engine, AK, SKS, Sa, FALs, MG-x were reworked and Arma2 shaders are used, HK and M-xx weapons are still in Arma 1 shaders, M21 has proper scope mount, while Soviet AKM/AKMS has Polish barrel end

- not all units were tested carefully

- groups not working (still i have problems with group definition in Arma2) but don't worry, config is just 100 kb file, so i can do update and you don't need to download more than 100 kb

- if soldier wears not enough magazines than i will add more

- if there is "destruction" error than maybe also possible config fix

- if there is icon problem or etc.

- PBR Mk.2 and MI-2 not added

- wheeled vehicles Arma2 model of destruction (tyres) not added, so vehicles are destroyed in Arma1 way

- glass destruction still not work (cars)

P85 is so huge work that i would have to work half year on it , i'd prefer to give community more toys and when i will have time for gaming , than i will fix this

now private life, Polish modern pack, City Life addons and i hope in future WW1/WW2 weapons and maybe units also in MLODS like i did in Arma1 for others to finish job
