VILAS addons release thread

[Rydygier 1317]

:) A bit like from some Hieronymus Bosch' paintings. I would like such direction - disturbing and bizarre.

[vilas 477]

of course i know Hieronimus Bosch paintings, i had whole book/album and it scared my friends that i look at his paintings

monster truck - yeaaa, love this idea, got to do

fighting bus - i already have Ikarus with turret (BIS Ikarus) just with turret on roof with PKM, but Maxim machinegun also can be done

If you decide to make some cats - maybe it's time to bring Tard to armaverse?

early alpha for your fun, after all addons were always (OFP) for fun, so this is very early stage alpha , still requires sounds, requires lights in nightime etc.

it is so far weird stuff to laugh at

class West > wEiRd AdDoN >

soldier is "Grim Ripper"

weapon is "vil_catgun", magazine "vil_fishes", vehicle "vil_circus" (it has 5 passengers seats, 1 driver seat, all custom animations , fifth passenger is most funny so far)

it is early stage "for fun", not "addon release"

i also work on VW Passat B3, why ? cause i always liked VW P B3

[vilas 477]

ok, after several tests and such like (all details on my work-in-progress forum) i am updating some addons:

- Modern Polish Military addon "vilas_npl.pbo" file - http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=7035 - changelog is too long to write detailed - generally rebinarized many models (optimalization on further LODs, removed UV from shadow lod, removed multiplied UVsets , cleaned RPT, etc. etc. etc.) + added some vehicles (mostly logistic vehicles, not fighting, but repair or hq vehicles), people using my wip forum know changes, simply it is "official" release after several beta-releases, if someone uses my modern PL army, replace old one with new one to get for example better animations of bullets in plexi magazines, previous "official" release was at least half year ago,

- all P85 files:

changelog is (as above case, on beta-forum there were many test-versions, cause "official" update was in March 2013) :

- fixed floating level of almost all vehicles (reported that vehicles were floating badly or submerged)

- fixed dampers in many cars which were reported to act badly,

- cleaned RPT,

- worst textures updated , SKS has new textures, old AK have new textures, UAZ van has new textures, BTR70 has new textures,

- added beta BTR80, added repair vehicles for US and USSR (M88A1, BREM-1)

Great news!

[vilas 477]

VW Passat B3 added to : http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=17447 but i not notify on Armaholic due to dayzmods that could use it, but i notify here, addon is currently sending to FTP and should be in 30 minutes under link: http://www.armaholic.eu/vilas/vilas_cpl_as.7z , than Foxhound mirrors it to Armaholic, probably few minutes later, so if anyone like oldschool Passat B3 than it is :)

Vilas thanks for the continued work on Arma2, btw which files to download from this list to make the addons up-to-date? http://www.createforum.com/vilas/viewtopic.php?t=15&mforum=vilas

[vilas 477]

on my forum i have mess and files dates are wrong there , my bad

all P85 was updated , i simply have mess on my forum, on Armaholic website there is a news with Armaholic links

[pulstar 55]

no worries mate it's worth the trouble tracking down the links hehe :) btw love the hello kitty paintjob. :D

[bars91 956]

OH YESSS! Moar logistics and a BTR80 - now this is THE SHIT :cool:

Download in progress...

[pulstar 55]

I noticed that some files are dated November. I think that's normal? And I still get the loader optics error on the SA13 :(

Speaking of AA, the Chaparell, Vulcan and SA8 don't engage at all it seems, despite tracking aerial targets. Seems odd :/

Very good work, couldn't find any bugs yet. Really outstanding mod!

One minor request: RACS 85 to Independent side, for more compability with project RACS mod.

[vilas 477]

shit, yes, noone reported that before or not reminded me on my forum efficiently

i fixed AI engagment of AA target by rockets, i do not know why but still bug seems to remain on M163 vulcan <if anyone know how to fix it, please help :) i hope it is only config issue, not model (memory point) issue, cause player can use Vulcan without problem but AI seems has problem, even when i changed weapon to Shilka's one, maybe other part of config is buggy

http://www.armaholic.eu/vilas/85temp/p85_config_a.7z 130 kb new config

similar hotfix for PL (i added radartype=4)

Thank you! Is it okay to report encountered bugs here? Or shall I join on your forum?

[bars91 956]

Yet again, P85 drops my jaw because of over-the-top epic content! :cool:

Here are some bugs that I wrote down while playing in editor:

-many vehicles don't have an engine/tracks sound (T-64/80/M48a2/M1abrams/2s3/2a44)

-weapon optic reticle edges are not 100% black and look bad on a 16:9 widescreen monitor

-BMP1 AT missile model does not disappear after being shot

-some wehicles have non-freelook 3rd person (example M88A1 US repair)

-BRDM1(2k16) gunner is standing and thus clipping through the roof(should be sitting)

-BTR80 has no smoke launchers on the back of the turret:

http://karopka.ru/upload/iblock/ee1/photo_1_1318087658.jpg

-2S3 122mm no ammo for the main gun

-Landrover serie3 has different driver positions in 1st and 3rd person

-AK series should be set to "full auto" fire mode on start/weapon pickup ("semi" now in mod)

since in real life AK fire selector is safe>auto>semi (small detail but still)

-all pistol slides don't lock back after last round as they should

-VSS has the shot sound from SVD

-AK74M GP25 has the GP34 mounted on the actual ingame model

-AK107 1P29 has the Cobra red dot on the ingame model but when aiming has the 1P29 reticle

-machinegun belts aren't animated

-APSB (spetsnaz silenced pistol) is actually called APB irl

(also I think there is no APS pistol in the mod, despite being THE sidearm of choice for spetsnaz)

-M16A3 has a bugged trigger model appearing under the handguard when fired

-M249 glitches the inventory when taken from ammo crate

-USSF 99 ammo box has only USP45 SD pistol and different ammo

-some weapons have really low-quality sounds (like M60 mg) that can be replaced with BIS analogs

I really hope this small bug report helps you.

I enjoy your mods and want to give back at least some form of help by doing some bug-hunting.

[vilas 477]

daaamn, shame i had no idea before release

okay - what i could fix in config without touching models :

- no sounds issue in tanks (it was due to inheritance of BIS class tank - i wanted to enable soundmods by making inheritance directly from tank class but tank class seems has no sounds by default );

- gunner in 2K16

rest will be done after happy new year;)

http://www.armaholic.eu/vilas/85temp/p85_config_a.7z 130 kb new config

please note bugs and please use beta versions on my forum :) shame on me i havent noticed those bugs, really sorry

for rest i will take care in January in upcoming weeks

so far i work on model of Skoda Rapid and Mini (Moris, Cooper, Leyland whatever it is called) for CWR2 because there were Rapid and Mini in OFP :) OFP forever, Arma2 forever ! and CWR+P85 too :D

Edited December 31, 2013 by vilas

[bars91 956]

Happy NY vilas!

[R0adki11 3949]

Good see a Mini, i own a classic mini :)

[ProfTournesol 956]

Much nicer than the new BMW panzer ! (i remember a trip from London to Paris in that good ol' mini, that was epic !)
