VILAS addons release thread

[vilas 474]

all is under test, i am not PC-magic, so i have no idea how this all electronics works, but people say number of sections is important

i have no idea how important, but old version of soldier had 22-26 sections now it has 5-8 (all soldiers have been reworked and in future all P85 will be reworked for better performance)

probably it is noticeable when you make big battles, but as i said - i have no idea, so i only followed those who told so

some things were made on request/comments from real soldiers (as for example anti-aircraft soldier has goggles and backpack - battery for AA system) and such small details like this ugly gas-mask pouch

there is also Military Police and Mechanic and some more units, some fixes to weapons etc.

but all on dev. forum :)

I'm no model genius but from 22 to 5 the progress looks impressive :)

P.S.

have a look at my post before ;)

Sorry Vilas, but not at all of them...

For example there's no AK74M with Collimator, or PK-A. AEK 973 lines are not working.

It wouldn't be a real problem, but these weapons (i don't remember the others) are missing in Ammo Boxes too... :)

[vilas 474]

okay i will prepare new "readme" when i will get home

but as i remember (in head) it should be following

weapon with PK-A will have _K at the end of name

so VIL_Ak74M_K, VIL_AEK973_K

i tried to use one "naming philosophy"

_K - colimator PK-A

_C - Cobra

_N - night scope etc.

[caprera 0]

Very kind as always Vilas, i'll have a look ;)

[Li0n 10]

Vilas, look at picture:

AK-74M has monotonous color. And it is a little darker, than yours.

[zoldatpizdat 10]

Li0n I also tried to inform about it, but VILAS ignored me, therefore unfortunately I think, that this mod is finished and will not change(PKP really failure):(

I think to make skin very difficultly therefore VIL for AK74M used colorless skin AKS74.

More dark monotonous color AK74M IT REALLY VERY DIFFICULTLY And LONG TO TRANSFORM??????

(Unfortunately I NOOB)

Edited February 18, 2010 by zoldatpizdat

[suhsjake 1]

I would like to point out the lighting in the game and in the photo. And if you are nitpicking about how the color is a bit off, then you have bigger problems. And yes, you are a NOOB. So quit yelling.

[caprera 0]

Too often "darken" would mean a rifle "to look newer". The results are Robert Hammer AKs.

I definitely prefer Vilas' look.

About the PKP i remember the photograph you posted here but i wouldn't call it a "failure".

I'll skip my comments about your knowledge of this stuff...

[vilas 474]

zoldatpizdat

PKP really fail ? i know what you wrote, i not ignored, barrel will be thicker when i will be making update

darker AK74M - when i will get time , cause since few weeks i am hard work on Polish addon update (99% done)

now i must finish one thing - Polish addon and than (i have now knowledge how to optimize for better performance) - rebinarizing Rus weapons and P85_V and P85_Troops for better performance (smal number of "sections")

SoulAssasin told it is important, i am PC-hardware noob , so i don't know how "section" is important, but i believe in SoulAssasin words about it

[zoldatpizdat 10]

caprera Your preferences are not realistic (black polymer can not become grey)

Me irritates as all children in the west demand necessarily new - black M4, HK416 with white and red inscriptions on it, But everyone would prefer that AK74 was old and dirty!!!

I WANT ONLY REALNESS!!!! On light (southern) islands mod vilak74m looks very grey but not old and not dirty

It is a reality : http://picasaweb.google.ru/TokkotTok/SmallArmsRU#5432660718931294466

VILAS THANK FOR EXPLANATIONS to ME of YOUR PLANS, NOW ALL IS CLEAR!!!

Good pics Zoldat, but keep in mind that three of those you posted were taken, as i'm used to say: "just out of the factory". The AN-94 is used just against targets and then goes back in armoury. The last one is from a fair in moscow last year if i'm not wrong...

About preferences you don't know who you're talking to, so better quit about stereotypes...

[luckyhendrix 10]

but why it is not compatible if it gives only new models ?

it should be compatible, cause it not changes gameplay mode , so you can use it without any problems with ACE

what makes this addon not compatible ? texture or model ?

this addon weapons even use BIS magazines in most weapons :)

if ACE uses BIS magazines, than those weapons will fully work with ACE too

------

i hope soon to find time to finish it

cause at the moment i spent some days working hard on update of Polish army addon

and i am pushing to FTP new "beta" on my w.i.p. forum to find problems and issues to fix and develop

some info screens:

http://www.armaholic.eu/vilas/scr/show3.jpg

http://www.armaholic.eu/vilas/scr/honk_in_game.jpg

as you see - winter troops added also

Unforntunalety it's not compatible cause ACE introduced a brand new armor damage system, but it requires to add some info to de cfg in order to work see here : http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=94679

[Banderas 0]

@luckyhendrix

I think the debate is rather over the Russian weapon pack than the armored vehicles.

I have absolutely no problems using these weapons with ACE2 mod

[vilas 474]

tanks will be updated later according to this one

now i must finish Russian weapons, Polish addon (maybe even including there those selection names)

than tank addons and P85 (selections etc. )

[caprera 0]

I'm really looking forward to your Polish forces ;)

Good luck

[=kct=blackmamba 44]

hey vilas nice weapen list u made there

lots of those i like very much

specialy the Hk variants i like allot, those are some desent weapens.

only no one made 2 models of the HK series bevore.

it would be cool to see the "HK PSG1" and the "HK MSG90A2"

as i believe special forces make use of them asswel..

i dont know if that fits in your project,

but it would realy be cool to see those ingame...

nearly finalized Polish addon (still under tests and suggestions) , added fleece (for Topas request), reworked winter soldiers , on screen visible also Military Police

but PSG-1 is not in my plans for some addons, i will focus on finishing Russian weapons and P85 fixing performance as next steps

Love the units in blacks shirts (last pic), GROM ?

[belgerot 33]

I second, I've been seeing that dual-tone (camo/black, etc.) clothing recently. Looks good on those units.

[vilas 474]

Love the units in blacks shirts (last pic), GROM ?

no, it is not GROM

YAC told he will do "special forces" and i do "usual army" except GROM to not competee

this black shirt is fleece (polartec)

it is for winter troops, in Poland we are changing clothes from traditional cotton/wool jacket ( http://www.wmasg.pl/fotki/artykuly/134/kurtka_US_przod.jpg ) to polar/fleece+goretex ( http://www.wmasg.pl/fotki/artykuly/119/ZDJECIE-NR27.jpg http://www.wmasg.pl/fotki/artykuly/119/ZDJECIE-NR24.jpg )

like US changed M65 jacket to EWCS system

and because i did "winter" soldiers, it would be stupid not to give them warm clothes ;) summer soldiers have ripstop uniforms, winter has fleece/polartec (which is very popular , caus it is light and dry faster than old jacket) , goretex parka is not made (yet)

but of course new trucks are not 100% finished

[Rich_482 10]

Hi Vilas, I've found a few bugs, I tried to post this on your forums but it doesn't allow you to post images/url's until you have 5 posts

All Land Rovers go invisible when under water

The BMP1 commander isn't visible when turned out

The BRDM M-96 isn't amphibious, I don't know if it is in real life but going by the soviet BRDM-2 it should be in ArmA2

You can't use the DSKm on the Dana

The Rosomak is at an odd angle and the desert version uses the same texture as the woodland version

Edited February 14, 2010 by Rich_482

[topas 1]

added fleece (for Topas request)

I merely made a suggestion about adding it; was not a 'request' in strict meaning of the word ;)

and yes, it makes the whole feel more 'complete' and 'real'

[R0adki11 3945]

Will you be releasing an western/Nato weapons pack to counter your already released Eastern weapon pack?
