VILAS addons release thread

[vilas 473]

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

i already gave some weapons to other mod makers which do west infantry (country infantry + weapons) and i think it is good way if infantry pack comes along with specified to this country weapons

if other addonmakers will use weapons - it is up to them

when i will find time i will try to release G3 and FAL packs + UZI

but if someone do infantry of country ABC and i have weapons from ABC i would like to support such units addon with weapons :)

Just found out today and don't ask me why.. but have you noticed the glitch in AEK-971 left hand anim ??

Any hope in the update to see more silencers ? I see many AKM with a PBS1 mounted, like AKMS.

Mainly common Spetsnaz units as MVD ones prefer the short one....

I'm agree too, Aks look too grey.

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!!!

Micro scratches and other damage affect the roughness of a surface which affect the way light interacts with the surface. This often makes materials appear lighter. Also dirt, dust and other microscopic debris can accumulate in these surface imperfection, causing it to look more towards the colour of the debris. In the cases of colours, they will look duller. Black will appear lighter because the colour of that kind of crap is usually quite neutral.

AK74M On these photos not new, dirty, dusty, but it is PRECISELY BLACK COLOR! (NOT GREY)

In conclusion of THIS SILLY DISPUTE:

BLACK COLOR IS NATURAL COLOR FOR AK74M And IF SOMEONE WANTS DIRTY, OLD, RUSTY, EVEN With CURVE BARREL AK74M THAT CREATE PERSONAL MOD!

Vilas already said that it will be corrected in the update, and preferences were about mods and not real steel. Close it please...

Was I talking about any firearm in particular?

No, no I wasn't.

I was contesting your supposition that nothing can change the colour of black polymer. That is false. No amount of posting pictures of guns will change that fact. Thank you for coming out.

By the way, it's rude to use caps, mkay? If you are getting angry and feel the need to yell talking about polymers, perhaps the local hospital can recommend a good psychiatrist to you.

edit:

I've taken the liberty of sampling some photos of the 'black, only black' polymer you're talking about.

This sample was taken from this image:

What colour is that foregrip? Is it black, only black? Hmmm. Let's take a sample.

Looks like it's actually more 50% grey and about twice blue as red or green. Is 50% grey only black? As you can see, I didn't even sample the lightest colour you see in that image. I wonder if you know what black is?

Max Power Be not afraid of a plenty of marks! Simply I want to raise(increase) your attention and to speed up your little bit slow brain processes

I wonder if you know what black is? LOL the PROFESSOR YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT ABSOLUTE COLORS DO NOT HAPPEN (SHADES ARE PRESENT EVERYWHERE)

YES IT SPECIALLY FOR YOU ! OK?

Just tell me that 50% grey + blue is 'precisely' black.

If it was 20%, I might be on board with you... but if you say 50% grey is black, you may as well say that 50% grey is also white.

Max Power You try to seem clever but is similar to the idiot!

Surfaces reflect light (any color, the blue sky, fire, a grass...) What color glasses of that guy?

On a photo real color can be deformed it depends on set of the reasons (illumination, type a film, an objective, a corner...)

I now can make AK on it a photo dark blue or green

I hope a theme is closed.

And what was I talking about in the first post regarding the polymer colour? How the surface interacts with light? Are you saying it would look more black in the dark? Hahaha.

Guys stop spamming Vilas' thread with useless crap. Carry your conversation and silly arguments to a PM

[vilas 473]

maybe i will know something new from those computer graphics issues :]

but i used one map , from BIS example (environment) and whole AK74M has one material for one rifle (like BIS weapons), to lower number of sections (better performance in game)

of course i could divide materials in PilotView, at the moment PilotView = LOD 0

BIS weapons RVMATs are binarized, so i cannot look inside RVMAT of AKM, AK107 to find "what are values", i used RVMAT from BIS "Example" < those released as non binarized

Are you going to update P85 weapons pack with weapons from Russian weapons pack?

You know you can unbinarize rvmat files using eliteness or similar, don't you?

[vilas 473]

Polish forces addon is still under polishing details (last version 22-02-2010 http://www.armaholic.eu/vilas/vilas_npl_a2.7z , details on my dev. forum , added some vehicles, old reworked and updated, SPIKE ATGM added and some details, but still w.i.p. )

but for Russian arms pack soon i will add RPG-22, RPG-26 (on screen shown with great BIS RPG-18)

http://www.armaholic.eu/vilas/scr/rpg2226.jpg

http://www.armaholic.eu/vilas/scr/rpg2622.jpg

i hope to find some time to finalize those addons , if someone is interested in help with prescribing how Russian squads definitions should look like, please put your comments:

http://www.createforum.com/vilas/viewtopic.php?t=17&mforum=vilas

i would like to make some squads for weapons pack, but i would need more info how to equip them according to real-life Russian army/MVD/Spetznatz

[TermiPete 0]

Brilliant! great to see RPG 22 and 26! Nice work as always, and I'll be making good use of those in my replacement config for sure!

[caprera 0]

Many thanks for the 26 Vilas! ;)

[vasmkd 12]

Nice work on those RPG's Vilas just like most of your work:yay:

[shurik75 10]

@Dimitri Harkov & vilas.

Could you explain how to make AI to shoot from 2C1 and M109 using ARTY

module ? With the new configuration file is a file

config_arty_readme.txt, which defines the shells for these self-

propelled guns. I can not understand where this array to add.

Thank you in advance.

[dimitri_harkov 10]

Put it in the init field of one of your units (it can be ANY unit. It does not need to be one of your artillery units) or put it into the 'on Activation' field of a trigger that has 'true' as condition (I used the second method when testing the module).

The rest works as usual. Set up ARTY module, create fire templates, etc...

Cheers,

D.

EDIT: You are talking about the P'85 artillery units, right?

[shurik75 10]

Yes, right.

Thanks, the second method to work.They shoot.But another problem: I do not see any exploding shells at the point of falling.I use SOM-module.If I put the D30 then everything works fine.

What could I miss?

[dimitri_harkov 10]

Sry, no clue.

When I read your post it came to my mind that I never checked if the grenades actually hit the target - but they do, I just tested again: WITH exploding shells.

I'll upload my mission for you, just wait a moment.

EDIT:

Here it is:

http://www.filefront.com/15680159/z_Arty.utes.7z/

Just hit 0-0-1 and wait for the impact in front of you.

And yes: it is no bug that you start swimming in the sea. Utes is too small for the minimum range of the M109.
