What about Zastava M76 for east-european theme? :))

[Banderas 0]

Is the majority of this content compatible to use with ACE 2?.

They worked very well for me even under ACE

a correction vilas: modern production AEK should be 972 as well as the Gp version could be the 973. Btw nothing really wrong...;)

Any chance of making your weapon mods use BI sounds so we can use whatever sound mod we like? Just wondering.

Any chance of making your weapon mods use BI sounds so we can use whatever sound mod we like? Just wondering.

it is already:

class vil_AK74M : AK_74 (BIS class) {model=vilas_model, name=AK74M, icon=...};

@caprera - 2,3 are for other calibers than 5.45 as i found

AEK 972 is 7.62 , like AK103

look at AK-74, Russians not changed name when from wooden furniture turned to plum plastic in 1986

but changed name when rechambered to NATO 5.56 round, than AK74M became AK101

or SVD in black plastic we call SVD-M, they still call it SVD

Russians offer their weapons for 3 types of ammo and then they change code name

Vilas, more issues:

1.Same as I wrote for rifle sights, but this one for rifle -GL sights:

Again for all Bis-based models.

2. AKS-74U have no recoil in single shot mode.

3. Rockets of RPG-7 and RPG-29 and RPO flying by straight line, dont falling.

4. On OC-14 finger dont pushes the trigger, it is behind it.

5. All silenced weapons have light while shooting

And will you ask community for built-in localization?

RPG7 balistics is BIS balistics, i just made model of scope for RPG7 and reticle, look at config, this is "models" addon, not changing gameplay nor balistics

config was made under 1.04, maybe something changed in 1.05 ???

OC-14 have animations from other BIS weapons, i don't do dynamic animations RTM

"built-in localization?" ??? what do you mean

[Li0n 10]

maybe something changed in 1.05 ???

Maybe. Usually RPG-7 rocket fly like a stone in vanilla arma2.

"built-in localization?" ??? what do you mean

I mean, that you will place stringtable file or smth like that in this theme, and community will translate it to different languages, send to you and you will include this file to addon. Players will see names of weapons on thier own languages.

[Leogecko27 10]

the final version of the weapons will be in a box right?

[GD Mast 0]

Thanks Vilas, now to figure out what weapon I was using from what mod. Too many excellent mods out there. :cool:

[vilas 477]

right, boxes, some groups of weaponholders (insurgents, Russians BIS, CDF - BIS made them looking like Ukrainian troops , Ukraine had a lot of plum polymer AK74 as i seen in pictures so will be equipped like that ) custom OMON easy reskin from TIGR (blue instead of green), MP443 Yargin new Russian army pistol, 9A91 Kobra like Militia use, 1P29 on more weapons , 1P29 shining in night etc.

final version will have groups of weapon holders like : CDF, BIS RU, insurgents

@Aelin: did you get this bug in single player or in multiplayer?

[Aelin 10]

hi guys,thx a lot for help:before the 1.05 I had a ctd after placing star truck in editor;now I got that crazy "rotation" bug instead of crash and it affects also the tarpan jeep...about the tank packs I hope the bugs I addressed will be solved in next version(error msg about t 62,etc).

What does your .rpt file say, Aelin?

The Star 660 is a very nice truck, btw. Somehow I missed that one before. Great job, Vilas!

[vilas 477]

STAR 660 was gasoline truck, stronger than newer STAR 266, but...not cheaper in use

so army gone to "cheaper" in fuel usage truck in 70's

it is just small curious thing, cause most armies used diesel trucks

and we had very good fuel gasoline truck in 60's

and first steps on PYa :

it is just photo put on mesh (no normals/materials yet, not textured, not UV), but it shows how P Y will look, Makarov son to replace it in Russian army in future (started some years ago)

http://world.guns.ru/handguns/hg50-e.htm

concerning questions about sounds and ACE :

class vil_AK_74m : AK_74 {

scope = public;

model = "\vilas_aks\vil_ak_74m";

picture = "\vilas_aks\ico\ak74m.paa";

displayName = AK-74M;

UiPicture = "\CA\weapons\data\Ico\i_regular_CA.paa";

};

thats how look my weapon config, as you see BIS class AK_74 is used and my new is only model, icon, name, all is "from game" so compatible with any sound/gameplay mod,

it changes nothing, it just add new model of weapon, new icon, new optics and name

Is there anyway I could go about tweaking armour and ballistics values?. Im not sure what programs I need.

I would like to play with both the Project 85 and ACE vehicles together, but the ballistics really are not adding up. Bradleys and other light armoured vehicles are too tough in comparison to the vintage tanks ect.

I would like to tweak them for personal preference.

[vilas 477]

i don't know what ACE ballistic is comparing to BIS, so i cannot answer

and what Bradley are you talking about ? cause both P85 and ACE have M2

also please remember that some ammo is weaker because ammo from 1985 is weaker than new (less penetration)

as i remember old Arma1 ACE values for APC shown by someone, they had APC as strong as tank , so you can either raise value of armor in P85 or downgrade value of armor in ACE

but as i seen from other person, ACE changed default animation of gun handling, so in some weapons you may see weird handling (M4 inheritance, XM-177 etc.)

what program to edit values ? notepad :) CPP is readable by notepad

regarding "models bug" that appeared - really noone knows, i hope someone will find why on some percent of PC models get crazy or like in your case, after patch

this is selection "damagehide", i can try to rebinarise P85_V and soon update Vilas_NPL, if it will help, cause modern PL army is to be updated by new more realistic groups and etc.

[TristanYockell 0]

I know what the problem was now Vilas, I was using Project 85 vehicles with ACE vehicles. Since the ACE vehicles have such advanced damage systems it was just my shot locations ect.

The seperate vehicle pack that you released works better with ace vehicles, because they use BIS weapons. It was only P85 vehicles that were underpowered.

I must try and figure out how to give your vehicles the same system as ACE's. That way they have crew protection, better hit locations, damage resistance ect. ect.

I'm not totaly sure what I'm doing yet, but I'll keep trying at it.

looks great!

in the meantime...Vilas sorry for my "comment" of the other day. My memory sometimes is faulty :)

PS:

it is true your weapons will be in the upcoming VDV pack of the SARMAT STUDIO ??

[vilas 477]

i hope :)

i hope more addonmakers will use it :)
