[OA]M4A3 with Acog and IR-laser

M4A3 with Acog & IR Laser AND M4A3 with ironsights by Max255[PL], Jelliz and McNools V2"

Changelog:

Thanks to the efforts of Jelliz, the mod now includes a M4A3 with ironsights.

___________________________________

Max255[PL] and I discovered some unused M4 models hidden within the Weapons_E.pbo, two of them seems to crash the game, but one of them, the ACOG-version worked well thanks to config efforts done by Max255[PL] who got it working properly with both the ACOG-sight and the IR-laser.

I retextured the weapon to better suit the other camo M4's in the game, aswell as the acog sight, (the weapon itself had a much darker brown desert-camo), I also retextured the weapons icon to suit this new texture, and added a ammo-box in the editor (M4A3 Acog box) so that people can try it out quickly and easily.

It hasn't been tested much, so there might be some unknown issues as this point.

_____________________________________

Usage:

There's a ammo box with the weapons avaible in the editor, called "M4A3 box"

Also, you can add thew weapons manually to soldiers using the addweapon-command, the classnames are:

M4A3_ACOG_EP1 - M4A3 with Acog and IR laser

M4A3_EP1 - M4A3 with ironsights

I thought you may do this Mcnools :), good work.

[mcnools 62]

@McNools

nice! you almost have my complete top 3 of fav addons :)

any change of a replacement pack for the Mk16 being replaced by this rifle??

to many scars and not enough ACOGs in the game IMO

[mcnools 62]

I don't know enough about configs for that, but a replacementpack would be nice, Maybe Max255 knows how to. :)

[pre-Vet 10]

its arranged, he had the same idea.

just a question: what is the class name of the M4A3??

[Max255 59]

Simple one:

M4A3_ACOG_EP1

[TomatoArden 0]

very nice. BIS should include this weapon in the next update frankly, but youve got us it already, thanks!

[hellfire257 3]

Yeah I agree Tomato

[mcnools 62]

;1690535']Simple one:

M4A3_ACOG_EP1

Yeah, I forgot to add it in the readme though, silly me, but I've added it in the first post now.

[nmdanny 22]

The czech/acr faction have M4s instead of scar

Yes, that's how it's always been, but this version of the weapon was never in the game.

Why dosent someone make a ticket over a Devheaven then it might actully make it into the next patch...

good work on the release its a shame there not in the vanilla game tho

[Buzz_Fledderjohn 0]

Many of the standard ArmA 2 M16's and M4's have a laser as well, but it's purely cosmetic. Hopefully BIS will make them functional as well. Right now, if a mission maker wants to make a mission with M4's with IR lasers in it, he is limited to only two models. :(

[Max255 59]

Actually only one... Like I said the ACOG GL has laser not configed and even model is FUBAR in that aspect...

[meade95 0]

So is this the only M4 that is playable in OA (that has a working laser).

Yes, the only one with a working laser, there's one with a flashlight though.

[sabre 244]

Are you going to do the other two aswell?

I wouldnt mind the one with the reflex sight :)

[mcnools 62]

Unfortunatly, from what I've gained, those models crash the game. :/

[Stagler 39]

That ironsights one. Is pure WIN.

[thesun 14]

Is there any information about what causes the crashes?

[Jelliz 10]

I have managed to get the M4a3 ironsights working without crashing, also with the proper camo texture. What kind of error message do you get when it crashes?

I do have huge problems with the reflex one though, but that is because of the lacking textures for the sights, and the model is of course binarized:p

Oh, if that's the case, we should actually be able to implement them aswell, I haven't tried it myself, Max255[PL] told me they crashed the game, (I think) maybe it was some sort of config error, if you want to you can modify this addon and add the one with the ironsights one, and I can update it and credit you. :)
