New mission added to the first post: CH co10 Allah Fist (ACE,DAC) by T_Bone CH co10 Salvage (ACE,DAC) by Mateck Also old missions have been updated: CH co14 Hazar Bagh Road (ACE) by Mateck - tweaked enemy positions in buildings - other minor tweaks CH co14 Ride by Dawn (ACE,DAC) by Mateck - tweaked enemy positions in buildings - other minor tweaks CH co14 Taking the Field (ACE,DAC) by Mateck - fixed day or night parameter not working on dedicated servers - attempt to fix game freezes when viewing weapon boxes on dedicated servers

Another mission is ready to be released - CH co14 Taking the Field (ACE,DAC). Download link added to the first post. Below are some of the screenshots that I've made when we've played this mission on Crazy Hussars server.

I've hotfixed CH co14 Ride by Dawn (ACE,DAC) mission. It was not ending :banghead: Changes: - fixed: missing "End mission" action - reduced AA threats - replaced Chernarus civilians by Takistan civilians in DAC config download (right click and 'save as') On a side note. We hope that the Apache from Arrowhead will get proper FCS in ACE2 very soon ;)

I've uploaded CH co14 Ride by Dawn (ACE,DAC) and added download link to the first post. Have fun :)

Glad to hear that the update is on the way :)

I've noticed strange bug when using BWMod and ACE. Sorry if this was posted already. ACE units that are using some sort of hidden selection to hide their original backpacks have them still visible when BWMod is enabled. Also backpacks have strange, dark texture. I'm not sure if this is ACE or BWMod bug. ACE units without BWMod enabled Same units with BWMod enabled I'm using ArmA 1.05 (without beta patches), ACE 1.1 stable release and BWMod 1.6. My graphics card is Radeon HD 4890 1GB DDR5, Catalyst version 9.11. BTW. Great mod :)

I've updated my M1Abrams Pack to version 1.2. This is very small and probably last update of this pack. Changes in version 1.2: - addon binarized with official ArmA 2 tools - added super shaders to materials - fixed loaders M240 rate of fire - FLIR will work only when looking through sights - some other small fixes CH M1Abrams Pack v1.2: Crazy Hussars FTP right click and 'save as' And of course I'm releasing updated MLOD's for the community. MLODs: Crazy Hussars FTP right click and 'save as' Thanks in advance for the mirrors :)

You need to press Num8 - arrow up, and Num2 - arrow down to change the brightness, not the + and - keys.

You mean that when You press Num8 (arrow up on Numpad) and Num2 (arrow down on Numpad) the brightness do not change?

Unfortunately they are using old materials and probably that will not change until BIS release official tools for ArmA 2. As far as I know it's currently not possible to binarize models with new materials.

Try right click and 'save as'.

Yes. I've updated first post with list of available paint shames.

Crazy Hussars Coop Pack 1.0 ====================== Here is small coop pack that me and my teammates are playing on our 10 slot ArmA server. download link - http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=5840 thanks to Armaholic Author: Mateck List of missions: - Veles Battle - Hit and Run - Hideouts - Welcome to Arcadia - Road to Morton Required addons: - A.C.E. - Advanced Combat Environment 1.09 - FDF Podaga (part of the FDF Mod) - Afghan Village 1.0 - Queen's Gambit - SAP Everon Used scripts: - Dynamic AI Creator by Silola - Team Status Dialog by Dr Eyeball (modified) - some scripts are based on scripts from Evolution by KilJoy Missions were tested on ArmA 1.16 BETA.

You mean that the code that is after waitUntil {time == 0}; is causing "control lag"? This is only condition and it cannot cause any lags when used alone. Don't use waitUntil {time != 0}; because this condition is always true and will execute code that is below all over again and it surely will cause lags. As I described it earlier, the time value is reset after mission load. In other words waitUntil {time == 0}; will be true only when mission is loaded.

Try this: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">testi=[_this select 0, 123] execVM "\smurfc_era\assignNumber.sqf"; "this" is not proper object in sqf scripts.

Probably there is to many quotes. Try the following: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">testi=[this, 123] execVM "\smurfc_era\assignNumber.sqf";

A lot time has passed since last update of M1A1HA but we finally managed to finish the new version. Although it doesn't have Tank Fire Control System, new interiors or even new backpacks on turrets Crazy Hussars Team hope that you will like this new version. This new version have been completely reworked. File structure, class names, model sections and scripts have been changed. Unfortunately this new version will not be compatible with old missions. Because of those changes we decided to create new topic for our releases and to rename our pack (moderators please lock previous thread). At this time we are releasing three separate addons - CH M1Abrams Pack, CH T72 Pack and CH M1A1 Replacement. All of them are standalone addons, even replacement addon. For more information on how to use them please check theirs ReadMe files. <span style='font-size:11pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:red'>CH M1Abrams Pack V1.01</span></span> This addon contains M1A1HC (Heavy Common) and M1 in several paint schemes.

T_D - According to the ArmA wiki the time value is the time elapsed since mission started (in seconds). Value of time is not saved when the mission is saved and so will be reset to zero when a mission is restarted from a saved position (posted by hardrock). In other words when time is equal to 0 after mission start it means that the saved game was loaded. Thanks to that we know when to execute code that is not working properly after savegame load. hamis - I still don't know what You mean by saying that this code breaks ECS and GDTmodhdr functionality. You mean In whole game, in CH t72 or just in modified Smurfc t72?

I'm a bit confused. When You posted in CH Addons topic You meant that You have problem with original CH T72 or Smurf T72 when You tried to implement setObjectTexture fix? About that setObjectTexture fix. At the end of the smurf script You need to put the following code: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">sleep 0.1; waitUntil {time == 0}; Those two lines will detect if game was loaded. Under those two lines You need to execute once more the whole script. You can do that by pasting the code that originally executed this script (probably it's in config.cpp under event handlers) or by  using breakTo command: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">scopeName "Shtora"; _tank = _this select 0; _engineon = _this select 1; sleep 1; if (_engineon) then { _tank setObjectTexture [0,"\smurfc_era\data\t72_2_RED_co.paa"]; _tank setObjectTexture [1,"\smurfc_era\data\t72_2_RED_co.paa"]; if !(local _tank) exitwith {}; sleep 1; if !(isengineon _tank) exitwith {}; _tank vehiclechat "Shtora system ONline"; } else { _tank setObjectTexture [0,"\smurfc_era\data\t72_2_co.paa"]; _tank setObjectTexture [1,"\smurfc_era\data\t72_2_co.paa"]; if !(local _tank) exitwith {}; sleep 2; if (isengineon _tank) exitwith {}; _tank vehiclechat "Shtora system OFFline"; }; //the following code is here to fix a bug with setObjectTexture command in singleplayer games sleep 0.1; waitUntil {time == 0}; breakTo "Shtora"; note: I didn't tested the above script so it may not work properly

Try to run ArmA with only CH T72 and XEH 1.9 installed, if You haven't done so already. Most important make sure that You don't have any previous version of CH Addons and XEH installed. then report back here. @Cole.cz: Yes, it's possible to create T72 replacements

I've updated all CH Addons. This is very small update and it only fixes problem with invisible textures after mission load in singleplayer. <span style='font-size:11pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:red'>CH M1Abrams Pack V1.01</span></span> <span style='font-size:10pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:blue'>Download links:</span></span> Â Crazy Hussars FTP - http://crazyhussars.arma2.pl/ch_m1abrams_v1.01.7z <span style='font-size:11pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:red'>CH T72 Pack V0.91</span></span> <span style='font-size:10pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:blue'>Download links:</span></span> Â Crazy Hussars FTP - http://crazyhussars.arma2.pl/ch_t72_v0.91.7z <span style='font-size:11pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:red'>CH M1A1 Replacement V1.01</span></span> <span style='font-size:10pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:blue'>Download links:</span></span> Â Crazy Hussars FTP - http://crazyhussars.arma2.pl/ch_m1a1_replacement_v1.01.7z I've also updated source files. <span style='font-size:11pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:red'>Source files</span></span> MLOD's - http://crazyhussars.arma2.pl/ch_source.7z I've modified only textures and markings scripts to fix setObjectTexture bug in singleplayer game.

Yes, thats true. The reason is that they cannot be damaged. There was some problems when defining damage for those turrets. Maybe I will work on this for next release. Meanwhile I decided to leave it as it is to not confuse people that may think those MG's are not operational because they are dark. BTW. There is a major bug when playing single player game. When saved game is loaded tank texture will disappear. This is a bug with setObjectTexture command.

jakethesnake245 --> Remove all previous versions of the CH addon (ch_***). Check all your modfolders. markings_base.sqf was in old version and it's not present in new one. Also check your XEH because if is something wrong with it texture script may not work properly.
