AWESOME concept. Great work so far, the characters are sweet. Some suggestions: - frost on the windows for all vehicles (would really add to atmosphere) - Cars take longer than normal to start? - A research station or two (like everybody's been saying) - Russian base, downed satellites/aircraft - fishing ship stuck in the ice? Odly enough, the arctic has been the source of some international conflict recently. Canada, US, Russia, and others have been racing to secure as much territory there as they can. The thinking is that with all this global warming, a northwest passage might become a practical reality. I know Canada has just committed to greatly extending its military presence in the far north.

those are damn nice!

I've never seen an ArmA video quite like that one! Very cool. buildings looks great too!

As requests get ever more ridiculous, it's great to see someone finally asking for something that would improve the game! I envision a mini-game along the lines of duck hunt.... TPB ftw

Good stuff GodHammer, keep us updated.

indeed, m40a4 is real nice. . . but that m24 sopmod is so sweet. you thinking about releasing it as a mini-mod?

that sir, is excellent. VERY nice. I would never use any other gun in ArmA. keep us updated.

Thanks! I don't want any of the old 2d optic visible, it's completely set up for 3d sights, so that's perfect. I'll look at other BIS models to get the eye point right. Hopefully you guys will see this released as an updated version of my m14ebr mod. Thanks again!

Excellent! thank you. I knew someone around here could help. I probably never would have figured that out. I've been using a custom 2d texture for the scope but I don't like the results. I've got to make a seperate model for the optics because of the way the scope works -- it's wide at the eye end, but much narrower at the far end -- So in game, it looks you're trying to aim through a the hole of a button The seperate optics is working, just the way you said. Once I fix the "eye" point I should be able to clean up the rest. In my model, there is only an "zasleh" point, no "eye" point or "memory LOD". Is it just a single vertex point? RobertHammer got the gun from .3ds into O2 for me, so I'm pretty new at O2. -One last thing: how do I get rid of the black edges on the screen in "optika" view?

Yup, that's exactly what I did. I lined my model up with the "optika_aimpoint" model released by BIS. It'd be really useful for lot of modders to have a seperate model for the optics view. . . . I just can't figure out how to make it work. anybody else ever tried to do this? any other ideas?

video isn't working here either... But this sounds like a great idea. A CAS addon would add so much to ArmA! and now that we've got f16s and f/a18s... well, it'd be rude not to use 'em to their full potential. how are you planning to approach controlling CAS in ArmA? from the map?

The best way I can explain this problem, is that I want to have two different models for a weapon: one for normal view, one for "scoped" view. I thought I'd use the "optika" files because that would be a way to get a separate model for scoped view. So far I've got this trainwreck, but at least it's getting somewhere: and this is what it is in O2: any ideas on how to make an "optika" model into a full 3d view? did anybody understand that garbled mess?

Excellent. Thanks a lot!

thanks BIS!! No complaints here. Once again you have gone above and beyond to support the modding community. The EULA is perfect too, thanks.

it's been a while since I've done anything for ArmA, but here's something: It's a texture edit of johnny's excellent Marine mod. I alpha'd out the groin guard thing, and tried to change the helmet texture. Next is maybe a fleece jacket, better helmet etc... it's just for personal use right now, because I haven't talked to johnny about anything. Cheers.
