Looking very nice Vilas.

Slatts aka The_Blink should have given you our lightbar script and rvmat so that you can have lovely flashing police lights, that also "glow" slightly in the day.

If you can't get them to work, we'll happily send you a working lightbar model that you can put on your vehicles.

Been loving your work since OFP.

little question:

http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/2494/nowy1v.jpg

which colour of civil Alfa do you want ? i will make 2-3 colours in this addon (rest Topas in future)

what colours would you like to see in addon ?

is this civil colour nice for you ? vote :)

i would like to finalize this addon and release it "officially" , so please vote for colours for it (or maybe you want other vehicles too) cause i have read black,red request for Octavia 1,

[tom3kb 15]

I think the best colours for Alfa Romeo are: red and black.

If you still plan to pimp up the Octavia red,black and silver.:)

For Alfa the same three colours,I think in real life are the most used colours.

Vilas, would you be able to add a DDR-NVA configuration for the MT-LB? The NVA currently has the ambulance, but not the fighting vehicle variant.

depends of country, in my country people prefer blue, a lot of people buy blue, dark blue cars, some buy yellow,

as i remember in my city i never seen silver or black Octavia 1, my neighbor had dark blue, lots of Skodas were blue too, so probably in different countries people have different colour preferences, in PL we have lots of blue cars and dark-blue-metallic,

majority of cars in front of my block are dark-blue , some are silver, some are dark-silver (steel), some yellow or cream or gold, thats why Skoda in pack is dark blue + green and this Alfa on screen, but of course i will fulfill request and there will be silver, red, black variants

[krycek 349]

Thanks Vilas,indeed I generalized based on my country,people here are nuts with black and silver colours,sometimes blue or red too.

I have tried and tried to get it working propperly. Could you guys send me a copy too? I would love to knwo what i am doing wrong.

[vilas 478]

so let's assume P85 after beta-update tests here and on my wip forum:

- P85 German pack - adding MTLB APC in feldgrau color for NVA,

- higher poly model of wheel arch in Landrover Serie 3 Ambulance,

- order with icons (there was little mess, some icons were too big for vehicle, some too small, many UAZ icons to Jeeps etc),

- steering wheels of UAZ 469 softtop and open,

Polish modern pack :

- problems with AI using too light guns

- silver, red, black versions of civil modern cars (Octavia 1, Alfa Romeo 159)

- i found and i fixed missing hands in 4 soldiers (2003) , anyone found such-like bugs ?

now questions :

- does anyone knows simple solution for police-lightbar work (moving/winking/blinking selection of flashing object)?

- anyone can help Topas with his civilian cars addon config ? i have models, Topas will do textures, so you will have Italian Alfa Romeo police car

- hmmm i forget what i wanted to ask , maybe if P85 civil cars addon works for you without problems , oooh i know, anyone knows how to make Javelin-like flight for rocket ? in modern PL pack i made corvette (war ship) it is armed with few turrets + it has RBS-15 Swedish rockets ground-to-ground class, but they fly straight from ship, it looks horrible, anyone knows how to make it Javelin-like flying on parabole to the target ?

any suggestions before updates (after this beta test) ?

[joker006 462]

thanks Vilas for alfa romeo 159 italian police :jump_clap:

[gossamersolid 155]

any suggestions before updates (after this beta test) ?

Add barrel recoil to the cannons on vehicles.

I can help you with this, it's a simple 2 point selection in the memory LOD, a couple of entries in the model.cfg and one entry in the unit config.

[Vilman 10]

Well, what about that BRDM-1 2K16 gunners sight ?

[krycek 349]

any suggestions before updates (after this beta test) ?

Any chance to raise the damage of the Rosomaks 30mm cannons before the final version?If you have time maybe you could also add the two type of ammo for them,HE and AP.

[flv*venom* 83]

and maybe, if possible, more compatibility with the stock vehicles / Weapons (sound / functionality )

[desmondb 10]

Loving the most recent update to the Polish army package :cool: one bug I've noticed though, the copilot in the W-3's is sunken into the seat.

[vilas 478]

oo thanx, i will fix that , except previous listed (colors of cars, icons, NVA MTLB, etc)

1) co-pilot proxy - moving to the front for 10-15 cm,

2) recoil for canons of tanks (now only artillery 2S1, Dana, 2S3, M109, 2S7 has recoil)

3) what about 2K16 sight ? i was looking in google, i don't have idea what kind of reticle i should give it, or give it simple one of BIS reticles from T55 or such like ?

4) HE/APDS for Rosomak,

5) i have not too much time to rework all so i would focus on reported bugs/changes

[flv*venom* 83]

Hi there!

re the 2k16 sight: I'd say give it the T55 one. right now, it doesn't have anything to properly aim its weapons with.

re 5.) <-if you mean you don't have time to rework the whole config...I believe Gossamer has offered his help in doing so. maybe for a future update?

and finally re the weaponsholders: Sorry! I totally forgot about those! If you ever have time to take a look at them again, could you add a MG unit (I mean the p3d file with proper magazine pouches) and an officer model please? :)

looking forward to the new P85 version btw :)

[gossamersolid 155]

re 5.) <-if you mean you don't have time to rework the whole config...I believe Gossamer has offered his help in doing so. maybe for a future update?

It'll take me a while as there's a ton of stuff in P'85, but I can definitely do it.

This would make all weapons/vehicles compatible with WarFX/other effects mods and Sound mods (using inheritance off of BIS classes)

As for more fixes, there are a lot of belt-fed machineguns in which the belt doesn't move while firing. If you'd like to see an example of a gun with this feature working, Xeno426 has re-worked your MG-3 model to have belt animations working, just contact him and he'd gladly pass the updated model back to you.
