  1. Yep, agree. I say no. Biggest concern (among many) is that the Addon makers community(s) will basically implode, because those people who understand the BIS technology and make mods will cease to support the community, as it becomes a competitive environment. Commercial imperatives take over :( A little concerned OP doesn't like paying for BIS DLC, but suggests non-BIS Addon makers be allowed to start charging. Huh?
  2. I'm yet to see big or small moving (walkable) object that allow Man class to stand on it. Provide me a small object demo, and I'll re-look at a solution.
  3. Think we can do without the "paid" shyt. OFP and A2 community was huge enough without it. Bad karma when people get money involved. (example: Project Reality for ArmA2) BIS DLC excluded of course

    Advanced Cockpit Interaction

    No disrespect, but I'd suggest most of us don't want to emulate DCS cockpit interaction ..... thats going too far for a game like ArmA3. ToH is about the right level.
  5. Apologies, sure, that will work, but I recommend NO PUBLICITY for the plugin, because someone will try to use it to save a PAA. Opening a PAA in TexView2 then saving as a TGA works just fine ..........
  6. Mod'ers can't modify base RV engine code ..........

    Photoshop .PAA plugin

    See the many warnings elsewhere ..... Don't use the old paa plugin, it creates bugged textures. They may look fine, but normal game engine stuff can stop working.

    MoveObject P3D turns invisible

    ..... And YOUR texture
  10. Wrong This forum is littered with problems created by the plugin (over years!! ). People think all is fine, but later discover weird stuff the engine isn't doing properly, like shadows from other objects won't cast across the texture etc etc My continued recommendation, dont use the old plugins

    Textures apppear black?

    ?! I don't need to watch the video to provide the answer. A search of the forums would have yielded the same suggestion. It's a common one.

    To kju's point, where's the _co ?

    MoveObject P3D turns invisible

    My guess, same as other reports here, textures with Alpha channels and similar. Does the 24bit version of your texture do the same thing?
  14. Per todays News Tactical Guide is HUGE ! Maps have good detail. ..... now, wheres that A2 printer? :D
  15. Dont need to recreate another 3d model with different textures. If your textures are less than 10 or so, its easy enough to redefine the covering textures in the model.cfg and config.cpp. Best to keep number of textures low. Most BIS stuff has 1 or 2 large textures. Some ArmA3 choppers and tanks have 3 This controls it in each vehicle in the config.cpp hiddenSelections[] = {"Camo1","Camo2"}; hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"\a3\soft_f_beta\truck_01\data\truck_01_ext_01_co.paa","\a3\soft_f_beta\truck_01\data\truck_01_ext_02_co.paa"}; In the model.cfg (CfgModels bit) you just need to include the names; sectionsInherit=""; sections[]= { "Camo1", "Camo2", "box", "vrtule staticka", "vrtule blur", "light", etc etc In the actual 3d model, whatever faces the first textures cover, name them "Camo1", second texture, "Camo2" and so on.

    Textures apppear black?

    Black usually means your NOHQ (normal map) texture is not defined properly (in RVMAT or the actual PAA).

    Plane flips over on the front wheels

    A few pictures might help I'm guessing its a "tail-dragging", conventional landing gear type of plane I'd guess your weight in the GEO lod is distributed too far forward. How heavy is it? Does it roll across the ground at all, or simply flips straight-away? 2 weapons of the same type, fire separately? Yes, turrets.

    Click once, and wait 3-5 mins (for the save dialog) does it for me.

    Weight distribution - Balance model

    Thanks guys. Typing the question got me thinkin further (as it does :) ) Turns out its the "balance" of points in the MEMORY LOD. (yeh, not logical right! ) Just added a bunch of unnamed points forward of the nose ..... bingo, now sits normal on the ground. ... while the plane still flies fine, I haven't yet checked what this change did to visual center and maneuver center.
  22. *wall-of-text* Cant read, but my guess is, AI units are typically LOCAL to server, Player is LOCAL to client(s). Server is telling clients what all AI have as textures, but not Players
  23. Nice! Personally I prefer yellow
  24. Unfortunately no improvement in the Dev branch since my video a month ago :(
