I know that creating explosion and impact Fx in Arma is notoriously difficult. But how hard is it to tweak Bohemia's vanilla effects via config? For instance, I need a larger, more visible version of the default bullet impact, to represent a 4-inch cannon ball. Is there a config value that would simply scale up the smoke and particles produced?
-
Saw your post on Steam, but to elaborate, leeway might not be possible for Physx-based boats. Maybe some experimentation with config could make it possible, but that's going to be a slow process even if any improvements are possible. The whole sailing system works on simply applying force to various points on the model. It's elegant and reliable, and means that no one has yet managed to send the sloop into orbit, as tends to happen with your average Arma tank. No leeway is probably better than trying to hack the system and getting unpredictable or jerky results. For the frigate, we can just compensate by reducing windward ability from the theoretical maximum, accordingly. It might be worth hacking the cutter's performance somehow to make it more towable. However, I will say that the cutter has a very low hull speed, and IRL it would be highly inadvisable to attempt to tow it under sail at 8+ kts. The boat would be liable to get towed under or capsize atop its own bow wave. So there is a happy medium somewhere.

We are working on fixing an exploit involving 'semiautomatic' fire for the swivel gun. Also, the musket is currently shooting blanks when using the Zoom Temporary (Hold RMB by default) function, so the workaround right now is to shoot from default camera zoom.

Welcome aboard! Landsmen are welcome to tag me with questions about the sailing model. And if anyone would like to contribute, we are very much in need of custom missions, public domain sound files related to water, wind and weaponry, as well as customized Fx.

Total newb here, sorry. Can this mod be used to alter vanilla Fx so they can be packaged in another addon? For instance, increasing the size of bullethit particles.

Are there lots of random bird nests and graves scattered around? Or ancient treasure? -
Wow, things have really taken off since my last visit! Let me know if you need any help with research or sailing model feedback.

RHS Escalation (AFRF and USAF)
ppitm replied to soul_assassin's topic in ARMA 3 - ADDONS & MODS: COMPLETE
Where do you guys go to find good RHS missions? I spent about 40 minutes on Steam Workshop subscribing to everything I could find with RHS in the title. The result? About a dozen OK missions and three times as many that were unplayable because the authors forgot to mention the whole stable of tiny SF uniform mods that were also required for no reason whatsoever. -
[edit: wrong thread]
-
What should I do if the mission freezes in the final loading screen? I watch the cutscene, pass the Map screen, select the mission parameters in-game, and then Arma locks up in the last loading screen. (Usually midway through the loading bar in the little inset window.) This has happened with the updated mission versions for RHS in both Altis and Chernarus. Could it be related to the 'out of memory' issue I've seen people reference online?

ACE3 - A collaborative merger between AGM, CSE, and ACE

ACE3 already has multiple generations of NVGs, many of them about as crappy as what you see in that video. Take a look in the crates. -
As an old man you should know your history better. If you are going to compare levels of content to ArmA 2, you will be severely disappointed. ArmA 2 was really a game-and-a-half, as it cannibalized large numbers of assets from Game 2, a canceled project that cost BI years of dev time and lots of resources. That will not and should not be repeated. You also forget how many low-quality vehicle assets ArmA 2 had, again dating to its canceled predecessor. A2 also had a lot of neat gimmicky modules like the armory, ambient combat, quick missions etc, but most of these were really barely functional and in an alpha-like state. A3's higher standards have tradeoffs. And the feature suite still has expanded enormously. You forget how barebones A2 was. In A3, you barely even need ACE mod, because so many of the formerly-groundbreaking modded features are now standard in the game.

Whoa is me. RHS units are still dying in one hit to the chest or limbs, regardless of body armor. I have verified my ArmA cache, reinstalled the mod with workshop, switched to Main Branch, disabled ALL other mods. Still nothing. What the heck could it be?- 16550 replies

Thanks for the clarification. I guess I will use it for ArmA mods. For other games (Skryim), it is worthless. -

I don't want to clog up the bug tracker: http://feedback.rhsmods.org/view.php?id=3306 I'm told that my download is corrupted, but I got the files directly from the Steam workshop. Then I copied the files over as a local mod, and unsubscribed. Is this a risky thing to do? I thought that workshop files would be identical to mods downloaded from Armaholic. Also, is there a decent torrent for RHS anywhere? The official updater is not reliable in my experience (likely the problem is on my end, but point is it doesn't work), and Armaholic is pretty slow. I used the workshop get download speeds over twice as fast. -
I think that you've gone and made this incredibly detailed model in the full knowledge that it's useless for ArmA. It's a complete flight of fancy grognard project. So YES, make it complicated! We can't really use the ship for anything in ArmA, so the sailing itself needs to be the full gameplay. Like the most convoluted systems from ACE 2. I have a digital copy Seamanship in the Age of Sail (the square rigger's bible, written for the layman), which I'd be happy to share. Plus a wealth of personal knowledge. The big challenge with complicated sailing is that even the simplest tasks required half a dozen lines to be manipulated simultaneously. For everything that needs to be hauled, something else needs to be belayed. It'd be a coding and control nightmare.

So it turns out the excellent mortar system from ACE 2 has been reborn! Are there any other awesome new features that haven't turned up in the Wiki yet? Edit: Or is the mortar sight feature in 6:40 part of RHS and not ACE? They have Ace2-style mortar round preparation with variable charges as well. -
Pretty hilarious now that Trump has now done everything Hilary did to lose the election, but worse. Talking to foreign leaders on his unsecured personal phone, leaking codeword intel to the Russians... How about that dingle-dangle factor?

Not using any mods besides CUP Maps+Core and CBA. Does anyone run RHS on Dev Branch? -
This is amazing! I can't believe you've managed to animate all the yards and even the spritsail! Regarding controls, why not just go all in? Make each pinrail a crew location, like Gunner/Commander/Driver on a vehicle. Change locations through radio menu. Then you can manipulate each line with the action menu. The captain can be a group leader who gives commands to AI crewmen via the 6 menu.

RHS Escalation (AFRF and USAF)
ppitm replied to soul_assassin's topic in ARMA 3 - ADDONS & MODS: COMPLETE
What's the story with body armor in RHS? Everyone seems to die in one shot. All tests are point blank range, of course: Russian and U.S. infantry wear Level IV body armor, but die in one hit to the torso with 5.56/5.45. Sometimes they survive leg shots, but a single arm shot also seems to be fatal. 9mm Beretta takes down a Level IV-wearing Russian in two shots. 9mm kills people wearing Level I vests too. Is this a glitch, or did the RHS devs just get sick of the borderline-unplayable bullet sponges from vanilla? Either way, it seems overdone. Pistols and limb shots should not be this fatal. In a perfect world there would be some randomness with 1-3 torso hits. -

The new Smaw looks great? But where are the spotting rifle rounds? Can't find them in the arsenal or any crate. -
I see. Does anyone know of a vest where the new system really comes into play?
