Q1184

I take my hat off to you, good sir!

This collection is glorious. How about an 18th century wig: http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/yhst-16383186999789_2258_451012951 And what's this? http://image.toutlecine.com/photos/z/o/r/zorro-serie-tv--1957-08-g.jpg

class CfgAmmos

Apparently they also wouldn't mind installing CCTV in everyone's apartment.

This might work: class Extended_Killed_EventHandlers { class Your_T72-based_class { class your_addon { killed = "_this setfuel 0"; }; }; }; This will exploit the fuel check at the beginning of the destruction script and will make it abort.

Is it so strange that one should feel uncomfortable knowing his pictures taken in a private environment are near-instantly made available to everyone in the world willing to look? How about someone's notes on what you do or how you feel about something? But the fact is, with the technical progress, more and more of our activities are being registered somewhere beyond our will, be it CCTV or a search engine requests log. FB is just another way this tendency manifests, this time with people willingly making pieces of their (and not only) lives public. The uncontrolled footprint of every person tends to increase, making individual or group profiling much easier, for better or for worse. Sure looks handy in cop shows.

if (isServer) then { _chute = "ParachuteMediumWest_EP1" createvehicle [getpos _plane select 0,getpos _plane select 1,3000]; _chute setpos [getpos _plane select 0,(getpos _plane select 1)+10,(getpos _plane select 2)]; };

You get 2 vehicles because the script is run on both the server and the client. With 20 clients you'll get 21 parachutes. Just add isServer check before spawning to make sure it only spawns once.

There used to be an explanatory picture, but the hosting site pulled it for some reason. Here it is again:

On line 6, instead of if (isNil (_man getVariable "UnlockTime")) then { Use if (isNil {(_man getVariable "UnlockTime")}) then { You need the {} brackets for isNil to evaluate a piece of code.

Camera shake should be enabled in difficulty options for the shake commands to work, maybe that's why it doesn't work for you.

It wasn't meant to be snotty or personal in any way. If you want a translation, here goes: "We can't do anything about it, so just leave it off". And lighten up.

Kronzky's Target Range conKord's Proving Ground

If you want units to fire it from the shoulder, you'll have to stick to simulation "shotrocket" or "shotmissile". Smoke effects can be assigned through the 'explosioneffects' entry. You'll have to look for a suitable smoke effects class that is already configured (maybe tank smoke grenades or arty smoke shell), or cook one up yourself. There's also a scripted way - using fired EH follow the rocket until it impacts and createvehicle a smoke grenade kind of ammo at that position.

Something like this should work _cfg = configFile>>"cfgMusic"; _array = []; for "_i" from 0 to count _cfg - 1 do { _subclass = _cfg select _i; if (isClass _subclass) then {_array set [count _array,_subclass]}; };

Smoke is done by a function called on fired event. The function's name is declared in ammo config, by the 'muzzleEffect' entry. For example, class bulletBase has this: muzzleEffect = "BIS_Effects_Rifle"; BIS_Effects_Rifle is the name of a global variable where the effects function is stored (in this case, it's compiled in the BIS's init EH: BIS_Effects_Rifle=compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "\ca\Data\ParticleEffects\SCRIPTS\muzzle\rifle.sqf";

Didn't try it myself, but this seems like what you're loking for: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BIS_fnc_playVideo

1. Tracers: You're all set up, except tracersEvery = 1 should go into your mag config, not ammo config. 2. No muzzle smoke: This should work: in ammo config. Additional tweaks you might want to consider for your phaser (all goes into ammo config): Remove ejected casings: No supersonc cracks and bullet fly sounds: 3. Muzzleflash color I'm not exactly sure, but it has to do with the muzzle flash proxy in the model, it uses default muzzle flash textures. I'm not sure how to change it. I know you can remove the flash altogether by deleting the proxy.

In ACE we encode the names of the pbos so that noone can find out which pbo is responsible for what feature by just reading its name...

You could take a look at the recent [Fix] Broadcast Reloading Animation in MP addon, they used a display EH to catch the reloading action key.

Impressive looking and sounding weapons, as usual :) Thanks to all involved.

In OA there is a wonderful command that sets coefficients for camera shake events in the game. However to tweak them it would be quite useful (if not absolutely necessary) to know the default coefficients, and use it as a baseline. I presume only one of the BI devs will know the answer, and hopefully he'll see this thread :)

Well, I found it all myself (don't know why browsing the config didn't occur to me before :) ). Here are the default parameters: And while we're at it, default settings for setCamShakeParams [posChangeCoef,rotXChangeCoef,rotYChangeCoef,rotZChangeCoef,perform interpolation]: Have a nice tweaking :)

As a quick and dirty fix change config version from 4 to 5 (ACE_CLIENTSIDE_CONFIG_VER at the very bottom). We'll look into the issue in the meantime.
