VILAS addons release thread

[ray243 11]

Heh, I'm a little late in this, but this crashed for me. And when I go into the editor, everything is blank for me. I can see the P85 sections, but when I go into air, units and etc. they are all blanks!

[Darkhorse 1-6 16]

Hmmm, never had that before. Try re-downloading all the files, should fix it.

[ray243 11]

Thanks! The one in the Arma page right? Download anything related to P85 right?

[Fox '09 14]

anything and everything. + it's all good :D

[gossamersolid 155]

dmitri, any word on when the west weapons pack will be updated to include some launchers?

[dimitri_harkov 10]

In the not-so-near future, I think.

AFAIK, Project'85 is being updated at the moment.

Cheers,

D.

P85 update? alright!

when is that due?

[dimitri_harkov 10]

when is that due?

I guess you know the answer :)

[Fox '09 14]

:p

sounds like in the next two months (oops?)

since there are plenty of vehicles... applying arma 2 shaders etc is probably very time consuming

[dimitri_harkov 10]

A little update on the good olde grenade bug:

It's definitly caused by the custom "P85_Throw" weapon.

Now that I know that for sure, the workaround script for this has been simplified quite a bit.

Here's the new script for the mission makers out there:

Put this in your init.sqf:

if (isServer) THEN
{
sleep 0.1;

{
	[nil,_x,"loc" + "per",rEXECVM,"DIH_grenade_fix.sqf",_x] call RE;
} forEach playableUnits;	//or: allUnits
};

And this is the DIH_grenade_fix.sqf, that you need to put in the same folder:

private ["_unit"];

_unit = _this select 0;

_unit removeWeapon "Throw";
_unit removeWeapon "P85_Throw";

sleep 0.1;

_unit addweapon "Throw";
_unit addweapon "P85_Throw";

if (isPlayer _unit) THEN {hint "Grenade Bug fixed";};

NOTES:

-Functions Module has to be present in the mission.

-This fix works for the 31st Normandy grenade bug too (Just with "rw_Throw" instead of "P85_Throw")

Cheers,

D.

any news about east/west weapon's pack update??

))

[dimitri_harkov 10]

Not really. It's a bit quiet in Vilas' forums right now.

EDIT:

A helpful user just posted an even better solution for put/throw problems:

Wanted to thank Vilas but alas he is banned.I downloaded his russian weapon pack and was shocked.I absolutley love his cobra sight and even the animations for the AK107 seem way better then stock Arma2.Love the fixed ironsights on Ak's also.I am wodnering if I can have these awesome weapons in my default game.So when I play in editor with weapon with cobra sight it will use Vilas work.There is another weapon with a sight called collimater and that is freaky awesome also.Any way to make the east/west weapon mods overwrite all of BIS's stuff?

[mortyfero99 10]

I am wodnering if I can have these awesome weapons in my default game

Yes you can !! You just have to search and install the "vilas ak replacement " on page 99 of this thread !!

[Wolfstriked 11]

Thanks Mort.Found and installed.The guy who made it doesn't like optics though.Its all iron sights from PKM's to ak107's.Game should allow you to pick what optic to install in editor.I am pretty sure some soldiers in russian army use optic sights.

Ok man, here the solution !!

Search through the web the "kegety's_tools" and install on your pc the CPBO.

Open the replacement file and modify the config inside it adding to every unit the weapon you like more.

Reclose it and add to your arma 2 addons directory.

n.b. if you want to spread through the web your new replacement file you have to change the name or ask the original author the permission, i think ..

Around this thread you can find a detailed list of all the classname for the east and also west weapons pack !!!

[vilas 477]

mega thanx for Placebo for allowing me again :)

i promise stay out of politics :)

concerning any news:

1) Polish pack :

2 sniper rifles called Alex and TOR (7.62 and 12.7 bullpups)

http://ofp.gamepark.cz/_hosted/vilas/screens/alex2.jpg

http://ofp.gamepark.cz/_hosted/vilas/screens/alexwilk2.jpg

http://ofp.gamepark.cz/_hosted/vilas/screens/alexwilk1.jpg

http://ofp.gamepark.cz/_hosted/vilas/screens/tor.jpg

and w.i.p. on "Polish flecktarn" , this is camo that was made for Police, grey version is phased out from SWAT, color version is in one or two special Police units, desert version is made "in case of using it in Iraq mission"

http://ofp.gamepark.cz/_hosted/vilas/screens/pol_cam.jpg

it is wip, but in future will be in next update

2) other packs - no news

3) P85 and CWR - will be updated as time will allow me to do it

i updated maybe 30-40% vehicles on my PC, work goes slowly (real life, family, girl... you know, holidays coming, more time on sun, more sport, more walking )

SCUD for version "independent from OA"

4) new plans : when P85 will be updated, when Dmitrii African units will be made, when CityLife duties will be made, than "pack of prototypes" of weapons that not entered mass production , mostly historical :)

so hello again and have a good day :) because of "real life" i am in internet very rare last times, so forgive me not answered mails or long waiting for answer or etc. :)

Good to see you back!

As for the replacement issue:

It's easy to create a second "modern" replacement file using BIS PKP, cobra sights with the AKs and modern SVDM and so on. Maybe Vilas likes the idea? But for single player only you can just modify the cfg in the original replacement file as you like.

(I for myself have added Vilas' weapons to units in some addons)

Optics are not even today common in regular Russian units. It got something to do with mounting problems.
