VILAS addons release thread

@caprera

i know you are interested in modern Russian weapons (including your favorite AEK)

look: http://world.guns.ru/assault/as65-e.htm as far as i know, it is very popular among Russian MVD and such like forces , i will add this also to such pack

as you will be planning to sent me by mail materials , you can also grab some about this weapon

in Russian TV many times I seen it (except AKS74U in Militia hands), so I think VIKHR (strong wind) is popular , much more than AEK

many times I saw it with silencer, although than it looks like AS VAL

but seems it is like with HK MP5

you have HK MP5SD with integrated silencer (than Russians have VAL) and MP5+silencer (like this)

for example Polish Naval commando photos show MP5+silencer instead of integrated model MP5SD

the same i seen in Russian TV, operators of MVD with Vikhr + silencer instead of AS VAL

by the way what is ÑдрÑзÑд in your signature ? "sdryazyad" ?

Vilas I'm just wondering... Will the Polish Pack be updated, given more content any time soon?

dear moderation, i forwarded to you abusive PM by Arm2cat

Vilas I'm just wondering... Will the Polish Pack be updated, given more content any time soon?

last version of Polish (modern) pack has 3 days

i not noticed about it, because after my hard disc crash (and lost of Arma1 ) and my friend hard disc crash (he also lost some stuff) i decided for safety to backup my every progress to avoid lost of materials

last version has : T72, PT91 , BMP1 with very limited sections number

HK 416 Elcan Specter (used by Army commando) and HK 416 short barrel EOT used by SWAT

soldiers in helmet mark 2000 ( Polish helmets are there: http://www.armaholic.eu/vilas/scr/helmy.jpg 2005, 2000, 1993 kevlar)

and HK G36K + EOT - weapon used by Naval Commando

temporary groups definitions (all is w.i.p. because Polish community debates now what should be groups and what soldiers add/change)

temporary beta stage BWP2000

fixed glasses on guy in baclava on face

added camo on face on commando

new tyres in Patria AMV licensed as "Rosomak"

AKMLN with NATO rails and EOT added but need change of muzzle brake , later all AKM/AKMS will get 100% proper muzzle hider (i remodelled it and turned 30 degrees right)

simply Polish pack is still unfinished (DANA, Hummers, Honkers, Loara) to do

new quality uniforms and models were released some weeks ago

so a lot of work on Polish pack still left and to have it final it will take month or maybe 2 depending on when i will do most important vehicle - DANA 152 mm howitzer

now i can show thermobaric/flame thrower RPO-A used in OFP as AT-4

http://www.armaholic.eu/vilas/scr/rpotoday2.jpg

image contain LOD 2.0 with low-poly barrel, normally in LOD 1.00 barrel have more round smooth shape , on this LOD i just done screen by mistake and later found less poly barrel

The Vikhr as far as i know is mostly used as secondary weapon as westerners use MP5 for crews. This is one of its uses because of its size and police forces use it in urban/CQB enviroment. I have some screens of Spets/MVD in training using them as well.

Yet VAL is common amongst military as it was officially accepted years ago, but keep in mind that by some time the Russian military heads decided to test many new weapons on the field. First example was the tasting of the AN94 versus AEK971 but in official trials. The former was in final stages of its evolution but still not at the contemporary development level like it's sister model 973 (7.62x39mm) and the Abakan took the prize.

Then AEK was given a second opportunity as you can see it in some frontline photos obviously taken by "Gorka users"... Think about it as something more these guys carry with'em. Sometimes it's an Abakan, sometimes a Groza or a SVU/SVDK...

Btw i can find something more also about this one. Just don't ask too much about quality. Still i have many limits in finding certain stuff because of language ;)

P.s.

That's simply my nick with fake russian font :) nothing real mate

[caprera 0]

I have to correct what i wrote before as the Vikhr is not destinated to pilots and crews, afaik. Just MVD, BG and maybe FSB as for SMGs these are the winners...

Klin PP-9 (Kedr PP-91 for police).

SR-2M Veresk with its 9x21mm ammo scaled down from the bigger brother...

SR-3 Vikhr aka MA (Malogabaritnyj Avtomat)

confusion again because of language ;)

[Darkhorse 1-6 16]

Vilas is there any chance you will make an older american transport helicopter?

Something like the Shawnee or the Jolly Green Giant?

I love playing with your P85 troops but when the Warsaw troops overrun their positions they need a way out. :D

The Chinook father... It's beautiful ;)

[vilas 477]

@Darkhorse how i wish to have more time ;)

you know, Dana 152 mm, Loara maybe (dual 35mm AA cannon, Polish "poor" version of Tunguska cause without rockets), HMMV + NSV, Honker + PKM

this is "one must"

second must is such rebel (G3, FALs) /east weapons packs with new Russian weapons (AEK and Vikhr... and some of basic models of my AK from P85 as AK74M, AKMS, AK47, PK, RPK) pack

and as W0lle shown secret - i also have a lot of work with CWR, which is big job, cause i have to redo many things (new textures , rusty and old vehicles etc.)

P85 vehicles were not rusty, they were taken from garnison, but guerillas FIA has poor technical base and their T55 has some rust, yesterday i spent 3 hours and only some small parts are changed

i wish i had time for WW1 weapons and for many other things

civilian vehicles in P85 are poor too and need better quality, only GAZ 24 Volga, Lada 2101 (BIS made 2106 as i remember, BIS made second generation, i made older model with 1 reflector, not doubled ), FIAT, Polonez look not bad (but also not super), but rest need very hard work

so i must say no to new demanding job as helicopters and etc. :)

[Darkhorse 1-6 16]

I wasn't demanding you make them. I know you have alot on your plate these days. I apologize if it came across that way.

[vilas 477]

o no , don't take it this way :)

i just wanted to show what i have in planes for next months

and i really would like to win somekind of Lotto and live doing what i love to do :D

don't take my answer as problematic :D

i just wanted to show what i must do

and in fact such helicopter is reaaaaaaaaaaaaaly hard work, harder than tank or wepon: because of smooth shape, because of all those rivets and plates to paint

thousands of elements and etc.

modern tank is easy, but for example WW1 tank with a lot of rivets is pain in the ... time :D

Vilas sorry but have you received all the photos ?

I'm asking because yesterday a friend of mine and me had some problems sending mails so i wanted to be sure...

[vilas 477]

23 or 32 photos, yes :D

[caprera 0]

And are useful to you ??

[dimitri_harkov 10]

@vilas

I fear I have to report a bug:

P85 grenades only work in the editor.

As soon as you export a mission to singleplayer or multiplayer, you can no longer throw grenades.

They are still in the inventory, however.

Cheers,

D.

Were you testing them out with Vilas' soldiers or the stock BIS ones.

Edited November 6, 2009 by echo1

[dimitri_harkov 10]

both. same result. (and: yes, I gave the stock soldiers VIL_throw as well).

EDIT:

Strange enough, after respawning the grenades work again... ?!?

Vilas i think i found a bug in the '99 Russian infatry pack.

The officer has a 107 with 1P29 scope. Maybe i don't know how to use it but the cross of the aim seems really wrong. I tried many times to adjust the aim without success, as i thought the lower end of the arrow to be the aimpoint but looks out of scale or something else...

You knew about it or it's me ?? :D

[the_shadow 0]

some of the civilian cars in the P85 pack has wrong drivers.. (like the zug wich has "civilian3") guess you havnt updated those since ArmA 1

[Darkhorse 1-6 16]

Found a bug. Almost none of the vehicle tires deflate. None of the trucks do except the ural.

[vilas 477]

yes, because i have no idea how to make damage effect of A2 , MLODS are not released and cfg_models too, so i can only guess somekind of "hide" animation for tyre mesh, but i haven't made tires as other parts, all wheels are one piece (Arma1)

[dimitri_harkov 10]

what about the grenade issue? Any clue how to solve it? (see posts 264 & 266)

[vilas 477]

i read it and i don't know, just like with group lags

[dimitri_harkov 10]

Well, I think I know the solution for the group lag, but I have no clue why the grenades don't show up...

[caprera 0]

How's it going on Vilas ??

[vilas 477]

Dimitri found error in my config

funny, guess what was causing lag when groups were set up ?

orthographic mistake in "LIEUTNANT" instead of "LIEUTENANT"

heh

and because of this there was problem :D

so i updated config on server (there were also 2 USSR soldiers with double "put" ability, mega thanx to Dimitri

concerning handgrenades , still thinking
