VILAS addons release thread

[[aps]gnat 28]

Vilas,

If you are going to stay around for ArmA2 and ArmA3 (you don't have to promise lol ) then I have another $50 waiting for your paypal account/computer fund.

[sv5000 127]

Hey Vilas, I would flick some funds your way mate, least I can do for your work over the years.

[wld427 1705]

Vilas i would be happy to donate to a new PC fund for you via paypal. It is the least i can do for all you have shared with me over the years.

[jedra 11]

Vilas - get that donation account set up. I have some of your English pounds ready to donate if you promise not to spend it on drugs, alcohol, loose women and fast cars (especially in that order)...

Damn, you can spend it on that if you like - just let us see the photos...

[domokun 515]

D4mn right. Times are hard for my family and but I can definitely scrape a few euros for a fine chap!

[nkenny 1057]

Vilas' work was a key feature of the early MP campaigns I made for nopryl. His models, and derivates of them, are extensively used by the community.

I'd gladly put down some money.

I second that!

Vilas' years of work certainly deserves a reward, I'll happily sling some dosh into his new PC fund.

I'm also interested to know about any intentions Mr V has for ArmA 3.

[RudyFaasse 10]

Awesome P85 mod! :) I like the cold war so much, not too modern(nightvision,sights,lasers)

[vilas 477]

Vilas, I have been a big fan of your units for a long time now. Thanks for all your efforts man. Wanted to ask you if you be interested in switching your interests into civilian vehicles for a while. For some reason there is no that many around. It would be nice to have a variety of civil specialty trucks for cities that transport bread, milk, pepsi, garbage, etc

there will be such units :

- fireengine trucks :

- there is Skoda Octavia already and outdated van from early 90s Lublin2,

- soon there will be Kia Cee'd:

http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/894/nowy2o.jpg,

- there will be Opel Vivaro/Renault Trafic + Fiat Ducato/Citroen Boxer:

http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/9742/nowy3sv.jpg

those cars will be in few skin variants (civilian + military + police + civil serving ambulance or firefighters)

of course also other mods will get them too (city-dedicated, rpg-like, Lingor, French Gendarmerie etc.)

if anyone would be interested in releasing civilian-only vehicles as standalone addon or anyone is interested in making addon containing police-like cars from other countries than addon is, please let me know,

I have not to much of free time, that's why such addon you have to prepare yourselves (reskins, config, binarization etc., i will give basic texture, MLODs , little help) so it would be up to community if you will se more CDF Militia cars or Russian, US, UK, Czech etc. police cars , I can offer Kia Cee'd, Renault Trafic, Fiat Ducato (when they will be ready),

at the moment there is only Skoda Octavia addon by Topas :)

so from me you'll get 4 civilian cars (Skoda, Kia, 2 vans, maybe another civilian reskin of existing poor Lublin) + 3 firefighter's cars (1 van, 2 trucks) + 2-3 ambulances (civilian vans),

to see German, Czech, Chernarussian police cars or something like this , other people must work,

however I do agree that would be nice to see such civilian-life vehicles too, having tuck base (cabine, frame, wheels) I think I can do garbage truck (not animated, cause I have no time to animate cran http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080218115842/warszawa/images/d/d3/Smieciarka_mpo.jpg) :]

http://img4.sprzedajemy.pl/540x405_lublin-chlodnia-suwalki-2459459.jpg

such car would be easy too (just adding "box") ,

but because of lack of time and texture-dependances all will be packed into one Polish Army/Police file (cause I am preparing updated, for example backpacks working on soldiers, new textures for desert troops), to have such vehicles in small standalone addon, someone must help me (cause I have no time and for months I was not touching Arma at all, just last weeks I made Kiad and now starting those 2 vans)

[DiFool 0]

Great to hear! Good to know you're still here, Vilas.

[vilas 477]

some progress pics (shoulfd be < 100 kb as rmb shows to me), soon I will add more skins (firefighters, civilian - white Ducato, silver Opel)

need help with police lightbar animation (I have no time to learn it, I'd rather spend time on modeling + textures), can anyone help me to finally equip my addon with working police blue lights animation ? I need scripts + "know how",

also if you want other colors of civilian Kia, Octavia, Opel or Ducato, type here, I can add 2-3 civil skins for them (now there is : dark green Skoda Octavia, Kia as seen above but will be fixed to red, white Ducato, silver Vivaro)

[krycek 349]

Black,silver,red versions would be nice for civil cars.:)

Btw,they look great and it's an welcomed addition to Chernarus car park.

[topas 1]

Please, think of the poor people of Chernarus and other ArmA worlds. Not everyone there is wealthy enough to afford your new models. Please, bring back the cargo version of Żuk (pic) like the one you had back in the OFP times in your pksmzk addon ;) It would also be very nice and nostalgic if some other cars from the pack made a come-back some day (Polonez akwarium/caro, Autosan...) ;)

[jocko-flocko 13]

Awesome looking units Vilas, great to see one of the original veteran OFP addon creators still making this stuff for the community. Thank's for all of your efforts over the years. :)

[wld427 1705]

I can help with the flashing lights if you like vilas.

[lao fei mao 21]

Beautiful civilian vehicles.

[oldbear 390]

Those cars and vehicles are looking a nice addition

Could you bring in motocycles ?.... I miss the Jawa and its engine sound, I would like a 350 like the one I had once a long time ago IRL

Having a Dniepr with side-car will be also great.

[flv*venom* 83]

Howdy!

Nice to see you're still here Vilas! Those cars are real nice and a well needed addition to the game. Everybody makes great tanks, planes, choppers...but simple civilian vehicles?

I was playing around with your polish army addon and the variety of units and weapons is just fantastic. I'd say that there are only two points which could use improvement:

The Beryl.

The sounds as well as the handanimations don't do justice to this beautiful model. Will you improve these in the future? Maybe someone from these forums is able to help you getting them right. OR move the handgrip (where possible) a bit to better match the MK48 anim.

This infact is a problem that is present in your otherwise fantastic AK pack, look at the FSB/Alfa AKs. and speaking of which: could you add some AKs with nightvision and or thermal sights? possibly some more AK107s too please please please! :D

[topas 1]

Hi,

This very moment we're discussing with Vilas if I should do a texture pack for the new vehicles; similar to what I did with his Skoda Octavia. I have his blessing but wanted to ask if the community would be interested in having this too. Here a small example:

Of course it's just a quick test, I'm not thinking of using real company names and logos; will invent something for the ArmA worlds (maybe a transportation company "ChernaBus"?). LEt me know if you'd want something like this and throw your ideas.

PS: Oh and of course I won't forget the Chernarussian law enforcement.

Edited May 19, 2012 by topas

[DiFool 0]

Law enforcement would be great. I'd support any version useful in missions. Could be cash transport, emergency, police, swat, vip transport or simple civil version.

[.Taffy 10]

I absolutely back this, more civilian types would really add to missions, particularly the Cherno law enforcement.

[vilas 477]

those 2 were given to French Gendarmerie/Police/ambulance etc. needs (with PSDs), so I hope you'll see soon French vans too :

So far I have made Grazdanska Militsya skins for Chernarus; (Opel Vivaro, Fiat Ducato, Kia Ceed SW) and invented a Chernarussian beer brand ;)
