konrad1 10 Posted October 2, 2010 can you make some new stuff and refresh some stuff for the polish army vilas ?? like Add armoured vehicles and remake some clothes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vilas 474 Posted October 6, 2010 i have no time for games at all , real life, job, need to repair sport(body) condition, need to rebuild relations with friends etc. Polish pack is at the moment on stage when most of vehicles are OA FLIR ready, only 20% of soldiers are ready (but no time, lost MLODS in system crash) clothes no need to be remade , camo is taken from real-life belt of fabric (z beli materiału) so camo is 100% real small tiny details like sewing etc. ... but i have no time and other people also have private life maybe in next months/weeks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vilas 474 Posted October 20, 2010 can you make some new stuff and refresh some stuff for the polish army vilas ??like Add armoured vehicles and remake some clothes? Konrad, there is a problem, now i have very very busy private life (no longer much free time, family, relatives, girl, friends, tourism) so i almost not touch PC (except job/work) that's why i cannot promise any new addons and finishing this addon under link in first post there is uploaded newest version of Polish pack http://www.armaholic.eu/vilas/vilas_npl_a2.7z (link again) what is new inside : fixed tiny bugs , OA-compatible vehicles (most of them), 10-20% OA compatible soldiers (i lost MLODs due to my mistake so i won't be doing them again to make selections on each of model unbinarised) http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/5886/nowy1o.jpg http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/2909/nodhdhwy1.jpg http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/729/ngggowy2.jpg inside pack in new version you will find : - high ranked staff officers (General, Colonel, commisary of Police) + some field officers (to cutscenes for example officer of Airforce, which can be used as airfield personnel - man in b.d.u. and pilot-cap on head with airforce eagle on it, officer/soldier of Mechanized troops - black beret ) - more Police (more camo, new type of uniform which now enters ) - Border Guards (multicam + regular camo) so for the moment this pack is not FLIR-compatible and i cant say if ever will be (cause i dont have time to fix lost MLODS by making selections to 3d mesh again) this version was on my forum for some time , noone reported bugs, so "released" as it was so for the moment treat this as left at the stage of half-OA ready (only vehicles) i really would love to make more addons, cause it is my hobby and i love it, simply i must have real-life, so have fun Konrad with this version Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
supergruntsb78 67 Posted October 21, 2010 the link give me a file exactly the same as the last version (no size change / no date change ) even the file name (when i download) is exactly the same (giving me vilas_npl_a2 (2).7z indicating that the file already is present on my hard drive and when i unpack and install to Arma 2 it asks to overwrite the file but it has the exact same dates/ size / etc. etc. so mybe a old file got stuck in the 7z file instead of the newer one ?

vilas 474 Posted October 22, 2010 i use Filezilla FTP and it shows me file bigger for 2-3 MB than older was cause there are added 2-3 textures (Policeman in new "EU uniform" and no-mud clean uniform for guard/officers of Army) hmmm.. strange, maybe you have Vista and it backups somehow ? Topas once upon a time had problem with Vista cause it was backuping somehow old files and using auto-backup option i still use XP so i have no idea, but i heard about problems with auto-backup in Vista strrraange :| Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
supergruntsb78 67 Posted October 22, 2010 (edited) using win 7 and it dowloads the file but puts a (2) behind it meaning its the same file name but when unpack it seems to be exactly the same file as before but........ i will try to delete the old file and then redownload ILL BE ......... it was the same problem as topas had, somehow it used the old file....... i hate modern windows, i am going to include bill gates to my signature for sure.

vilas 474 Posted October 22, 2010 it seems that i won't uninstall XP ever i heard they want to quit support and sales of XP, sad, XP really works great and not make "silent backup" while you want overwrite files it is nice that finally you have working file :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vilas 474 Posted November 3, 2010 (edited) http://www.armaholic.eu/vilas/other/vil_char.7z Indian soldiers in 3 types of camo ("jungle", "French", desert) + 2 types of INSAS rifle (Indian Army soldiers use weapons from both weapon packs , east: http://www.armaholic.eu/vilas/other/vilas_aks.7z and west : http://www.armaholic.eu/vilas/other/vilas_wwp.7z ) , not OA FLIR ready, but also contain Indian in desert camo released few months ago : http://ofp.gamepark.cz/_hosted/vilas/screens/scwph1.jpg few weeks ago there was "silent work in progress updated" containing desert India skin previously released in April were only woodland camo but i was not making news, cause i wanted make it OA compatible (FLIR, thermal maps) as note i will say that i found that AK anim working good in Arma2 , do not work in OA :( so east weapons pack need fix for OA (which i will do in "free time") or use weapons fix made by other people (feel free to edit config and release as separate file - in the same way as sound mods work ) cause only problem is in line with anim to AK (shown on screen above) in Operation Arrowhead probably something is overwritten in OA comparing to vanila Arma2 when comes to hand anim Edited November 3, 2010 by vilas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flv*venom* 83 Posted November 13, 2010 G'day! nice helo. it's always good to see the european arsenal becoming bigger :D I have a question regarding the AK pack: some pages back it was mentioned that the handanimations are broken when used in OA, I ran into this problem yesterday after patching to the newest version of the game....does anybody have a solution or a maybe even a fix for that?

vilas 474 Posted November 13, 2010 (edited) i know i must make update by deleting great and super anims which were made by Flashpoint.Ru friends :( those anims not work in OA and since 1.08 :( but AK anim is great, shame that patch and OA broke it :/ probably "config update" with replacing custom anims by BIS anims is needed in my addons there are some custom anims, now i must know is everything exept AK anim working, or other anims not work since OA too i am replacing/overwriting file : http://www.armaholic.eu/vilas/other/vilas_aks.7z difference is in AK animation, it will be on FTP in 1 hour (7 PM CET) edit - READY for download removed custom rifle anims, only launcher anims left :| when anims issue will be fixed they will be back , cause they were great Edited November 13, 2010 by vilas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Przemek_kondor 13 Posted November 15, 2010 (Didn't want to continue OT in CWR2 thread) that some people should visit eye-doctor before posting about this or other mod and spread bullshit 1. You're used to post screenshots of your addons using low quality jpg and mid/low arma2 settings. So don't blame others that they think your textures are low-res (most often they compare screenshots). 2. texture resolution != number of texels per pixel. It means that sometimes higher res-texture can look worse than lower-res one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
topas 1 Posted November 15, 2010 (edited) 2. texture resolution != number of texels per pixel. It means that sometimes higher res-texture can look worse than lower-res one Can ogly second this Both of the above paintings are 200x200px, and... ? Which one is better? it's not as much a question of resolution, it's more about what you make of it and how do you use the space available. I can make a 4096x4096 texture, but what's the use of it when I flood it with olive tan and few scratches? Someone can make something more interesting on a smaller one. Think that the whole discussion started because of lack of knowledge and misleading habits - as many tend to think that cameras with more Mpx are better than the lower MPx ones. Ok, what's the use of 10Mpx when you got shitty and small lense.. But 'resolution' seems to be 'the' magical word Off-topic mode off ;] -----------plus----------- What Laqueesha criticized/WazZzaaa! linked was done by RHS. Don't want to sound silly with the logo below in my banner, but Shadow NX's webbing and RD backpack as shown on those screens can still easily outmatch some of the BIS stuff, even from A2 Edited November 15, 2010 by topas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
