    Any News Or Update's huh.gif? Been quiet for a while..

    Should he post something just to say there is nothing? Do you think he forgot?

    We didn't forgot whistle.gif

    We just don't have enough free time to work on it banghead.gif

    Here are some WIP screenshots of new textures for M1 (textures by T_Bone).

    In new version textures can be changed via script. Mission makers will have opportunity to make unique textures for their missions. We will also release textures templates to make it easier.

    Does Tank_FCS work with this tank? Near the beginning of this thread someone comments on how nice this addons is with NWD's TANK_FCS, but I've never been able to get FCS working with this tank.

    Am I doing something wrong? Or does it not work at this point with NWD's mod?

    At this point it dosen't have Tank Fire Control System by NonWionderDog included.

    don't know if this is posted yet (did not find it):

    when turning the maingun backwards-down, it clips with the back hulk of the tank. is there any means to make it "swing" around the "obstacle"?

    I'm afraid it's not possible. I think the only way to fix this problem is to lower min elevation of the gun, but I don't think this will be a good solution.

    About new sounds. In version 0.9 there was option to use standard sounds. Unfortunately there was some problems with replacement file. In new version I'm planing to separate data files from config files so there will be no problem with adding optional configurations smile_o.gif

    About FLIR. I'm testing XAM Termic Vision. If there will be no problems in multiplayer I will ask XAM team for permission to use it smile_o.gif

    BTW. Before someone mention this. I think because of patch 1.14 there is problem with zooming commander optics after using external view.

    I think it is possible by making script that will use removeMagazines and addMagazines commands. Main gun would be empty unless loader add certain ammo to the main gun via addMagazines command.

    EDIT.

    I'm searching for some way to override screen color, like green in NVGs. I want to add FLIR option to M1A1.

    I know there is setAperture option that makes screen look black and white but only during night. During day time screen is to bright and with higher setAperture values is no more black and white wink_o.gif

    I will be grateful for any help on figuring out how ArmA NVGs works.

    Loader Position:

    Is there any future for the loader position to load the rounds and not the gunner in a future release or would that have to be created/added by us the community?

    FLIR:

    There is a script somewhere around the forums that talks about that, but I can't find it now. I'll keep looking.

    Also is there a time frame for the next update to fix the replacement addon.

    Thanks.

    I will try to make such script but I want to finish some other things first. Though I don't know if I have enough scripting skills wink_o.gif

    About FLIR. I've checked Mapfact's FLIR and it's great but it's not working in daytime. I'm wondering if its possible to make screen black and white also during day so it will look like FLIR.

    I've fixed replacement file some time ago. I will release it with next M1A1 version.

    @Mateck

    Any possible to have it where when the gunner fires a round the main gun doesn't automatically reload?

    So the loaded then has to reload the gun, but selecting either to reload Sabot or Heat. And when he finishes reloading he says which ever one aloud so it is hear that the gun is ready to be fired with whatever type or round he reloaded.

    That would just add more the loader position and would be great for those that would like it to be realistic.

    I think it is possible by making script that will use removeMagazines and addMagazines commands. Main gun would be empty unless loader add certain ammo to the main gun via addMagazines command.

    "You cannot play/edit this mission..." error is caused by new ammo and weapons classes used in replacement config. ch_m1a1_replacement and ch_t72_replacement lines are required in mission.sqm under Addons section, but old mission simply don't have them. When creating new mission while using ch_m1a1_replacement and ch_t72_replacement addons, they are automatically added to Addons section in mission file.

    I already fixed this problem by using existing ammo and weapons classes i replacement file. Unfortunately because of this ch_m1a1_replacement will be a bit different than ch_m1abrams wink_o.gif

    @Alex[Dev]72

    Thanks for pointing those .rpt errors. That was very helpful smile_o.gif

    Mateck, T-Bone first please accept my grats and greets for this nice piece of addon you've made, looking forward for your next releases.

    Secondly -maybe someone wrote before- (I'm just lazy to read all the posts - ready to take the blame and bury myself icon_rolleyes.gif ) two little issues I discovered. At first AI loader does not reload his M240 even if I tell him to do so in the command menu. Second is I've put the USMC sign on the back hull and it cuts the image down a little bit - I only see SMC written on the hull on both sides.

    Just wanted to let you know , if you ever have the mood to fix minor things like this.

    Anyway keep up the good work!

    Yes, we have the mood to fix minor things like this smile_o.gif

    Here is list of small fixes we have made since v0.95 release:

    - changed t-72 armor structural from 15 to 14 so 1 Maverick can destroy it

    - fixed loaders optics color

    - fixed bug with USMC marking

    - tweaked green color in NATO camouflage

    - fixed shadow artefacts on markings by adding renderFlags[] = {NoZWrite}; to markings material

    About that AI problem. Is he turned in? He should be able to reload M240 while turned out. I didn't tested it before so I may be wrong.

    When talking about how realistic it would be for SLA to have a T-80/T-90, remember that there are other islands for ArmA - and the T-80 or T-90 would be a wonderful M1 counterpart on the Schmalfelden map. So even if Russia would never export a T-90 to a small communist country, remember that ArmA is not limited to Sahrani wink_o.gif

    Exactly.

    Sometimes i think the people only see Sahrani and nothing else.

    I think everybody is free to do what he want.

    Who is talking that T-80 or T-90 shouldn't be made for ArmA? Be patient or if You can't wait, do it by yourself wink_o.gif

    BIS created T-72M (probably) so it should be T-72M. Creating other tanks is needed but it also takes some time.

    There will be no updates on our tanks for some time. After short break we are planing to create old M1/IPM1 and T-72AV as a bonus.

    One question about the Mateck's additional T-72. As a commander, how can I tell the gunner to switch to different ammo (HEAT, SABOT, etc.) ? Is that a bug?

    Wow, awesome looking T-72! Will it be compatable with Mateck's M1A1?

    I don't know how to change ammo while commanding in original tanks. Probably it's ArmA bug wink_o.gif

    just a question..i thought radio chatter will be fixed in this version?

    because i don't hear radio chatter from ECS mod in Mateck's Abrams. huh.gif

    by the way..GREAT ADDON! notworthy.gif

    It started to work for me some time ago. After adding CH_M1A1HA and CH_M1A1HA_D to ecs_local.hpp only thing I did was starting ArmA with @ECS disabled. When I enabled @ECS, radio chatter was fixed.

    Don't know if that will help, but who knows wink_o.gif

    Other things, like secondary explosions and fire damage player, are still missing crazy_o.gif

    @bravo 6

    Check Your PM box.

    Small info on what I fixed already.

    - changed t-72 armor structural from 15 to 14 so 1 Maverick can destroy it

    - fixed loaders optics color (adding gunnerOpticsColor[] = {1,1,1,1}; to LoaderTurret did the trick, I was a bit to lazy to check this option before releasing v0.95, sorry)

    - fixed bug with USMC marking

    No need to release hot fix for that, but anyone can fix those problem by editing config file and USMC texture wink_o.gif

    Wait,

    Are you talking about the ch_m1aaha.intro mission? Didn't see any smiley faces in that but I might be looking in the wrong place.

    In your post when you said you added custom textures are you talking about adding them with setObjectTexture? Or selecting existing ones with the CH_Markings_base?

    I couldn't get setObjectTexture to work before but will try it again just in case.

    Not as lean, or as mean but always a Marine.

    In new version I've added new markings that can be displayed by using CH_Markings_base script. In updated ch_m1a1aha.intro mission I've added example for setting user made textures that can be placed in mission folder. In ch_m1a1aha.intro folder there is s1.paa texture file that should be displayed on one of the tanks.

    Howdy,

    Thanks for the quick update. Though I ran into a small issue. The CH_Markings_base = blah... no longer works on my models. Tried creating a new map and putting in a new tank and using the line to select specific markings but it still doesn't seem to work.

    I deleted out the old files and then put the new ones in. And placed the extended event handlers into my arma addons folder.

    Figure I am doing something wrong.

    Check editor sample mission with original, unmodified addon. All scripts should work. I've added tank with custom textures to that mission. You should see smilies on that tank smile_o.gif

    If scripts in that mission also don't work then let me know.

    Hi, and the loaders sight still beeing that black box instead use the

    same sight than the driver;...

    Loaders sight is using tank driver optic model, believe me wink_o.gif

    Problem is that all gunner sights are black. As I remember there is option to change sight color but nothing else crazy_o.gif

    P.S. There is a bug with replacement files after installation on server. After mission start player is kicked with missing addon error crazy_o.gif

    Time for first update smile_o.gif

    - signed addon with new privatekey

    - fixed tracks visible through armor

    - changed ammo count for M2 and mounted M240

    - fixed M240 magazine class so it will not overwrite class from rifles config

    - fixed some sound problems (new sounds are now defined in main config file)

    - added T-72 with new armor values and fixed hit-points (based on NonWonderDogs Tank FCS)

    EDIT. Before installing new version please remove any previous versions.

    @Alex[Dev]72

    Yes, we will add LASE option in future smile_o.gif

    About replacement compatibility in MP. There is to many changes in config and model to fix those problems. Every player on server needs to use this replacement. Also I think it should be installed on server.

    @Alex[Dev]72

    I'm planing to release updated version today, and there will be no lase option, sorry wink_o.gif

    About engine sound. It's not possible to set separate sounds for inside and outside of the tank via config file and that's bad.

    Maybe I will create script, like ECS RC, that will add some additional sounds. Maybe in next major update.

    @Rakgitarmen

    Tiger205 is working on fictional T-72 modification. Mostly for learning purposes. Maybe we will add this tank to the pack in future releases smile_o.gif

    In next update there will be T-72 with fixed armor values and hit-points included in the pack wink_o.gif

    P.S. I decided to change only ammo count for M2 and mounted M240. I will not change ammo count for coaxial M240 wink_o.gif
