    Cheers everyone!

    Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and I wish you all the good stuff! :-)))

    I'm back from my trip (damn it was long!) and already started making new things for the mod. I'm also working on the RPT spamming issues.

    Next update will feature Marksmen rifles and assault rifle optics for both sides.

    _____________________________________________________________________________________________________

    About other mods.

    EvW was designed to be a thing in a box to preserve balance, so the first priority for me is always how the EvW mod plays with EvW mod. :-)))

    If you use other mods together with EvW there could be (and should be) issues with gameplay balance. I just don't have time to check the weapons hit values or armour hitpoints compatibility with all other mods and I also would like to keep the right to change things if I want to. :-))))

    In all other aspects I'm doing my best to make EvW as other mods friendly as it could be. All the classnames are unique, and I'm trying to avoid using scripts where possible (the only alltime running script in EvW now is the RangeFinder script for tanks).

    But if you have an issue when playing EvW with other mods, please understand that reports like "Your mod is incompatible with XXX mod" tell me nothing, but "Mod XXX gives an YYY error when ran along with EvW" or "Can't use XXX mod's weapons when using it with EvW" reports could be a good starting point for me, so please be more specific.

    Thanks for understanding!

    No, I'm building an ALiVE campaign using these and I didn't test everything, but I can fire from the assault boat, everything spawns fine.

    BTW, do your helos use the A3 flight model or are they just direct ports from A2? Will the helos be able to use sling loading? I have checked any of this.

    No, they aren't direct ports. There's a PhysX LOD present and all the features of A3 are implemented except the latest DLC, which I plan to implement in the next update. This includes the sling loading.

    what are changed logs in upcoming update?

    thx

    Don't know yet. All I know for sure there will be marksmen for both sides.

    I always spend some time playing the mod before releasing a new version, just to catch obvious bugs and sometimes I can suddenly decide that mod needs something... and just throw it in.

    That's why I don't make any announces.

    It is just what it is. :-)))))

    P.S. Oh yeah, I forgot the new features like "fire from vehicles" and helicopters. :-))) They should be in a new update.

    Hey sudden, we finally started using Russians in our ops, but encountered a problem - they are impervious to RH m4/m16s. 10-15 shots to chest, 6-8 shot to face (not helmet). I'm wondering if its something with RH 556 ballistic values, or maybe other utility mods affecting it. Or actually Russians are "on steroids"... Any Ideas?

    Yeah, Russians are like that! :-)))))))))

    Well, I haven't changed anything in the config since Arma3 Alpha, and all the characteristics were taken from BIS config at the time so maybe this part needs tweaking.

    Does the situation remain the same with vanilla weapons? If so, my mod is guilty, if not... You know who's to blame, then. :-)))))

    Iv posted in MCC nad RHS forums respectively.Understand alot has to be done bug fixing and all will be sorted in time hopefully.

    But could you explain,if possible,what exactly is the reason MCC cant detect RHS units for what they are?And on whos end will this fall to create a fix?

    Im just curious by the way,as its 1st time iv seen MCC fail to recognize the units.And also just to point out "fire for effect" also dosent pick up the Arty for RHS.Some thing to do with its ammo type?

    Apoligies sudden for going off mod topic;) Loving the work on this mod,and still using SUD RUs great elements with RHS.

    Not a problem and thanks a lot for investigating. That's what makes us a community, right?

    Next update should be very soon.

    I've got some great stuff from my friends _boby_ and kuokenken. ;-)))

    Just two give my two cents, I've been doing different tests, with only the outstanding Sudden EvW and RHS activated, and all helos and planes seem to be working flawlessly ( with the TOW missiles and everything ). :)

    But there are known incompatibilities with RHS and MCC.

    Thanks, mate! I've just tried EvW and RHS together. Everything works! So it's not RHS for sure. :-)))))

    ;2810028']Sudden' date=' it seems that the AH-1W has no loaded TOW missiles... I´ve spawned one with MCC and it had none armed (so couldn´t fire an empty TOW tube) and then I´ve created a mission and put a AH-1W and still no ammo for TOW ATGM... so I guess this is the problem, they can´t fire what they don´t have loaded =P[/quote']

    Not confirmed. For me it's working fine. What other mods do you have loaded?

  13. Posted

    thanks

    can you do something about gunner to make him accept lock key too? for example my lock key is "tab" so when armored vehicles are in radar by pressing it I can lock on one of them and command fire to my gunner, but here I have to use "target" menu and "tab" key just lock but gunner won't lock actually! this issue was also in CWR.

    thx

    I can't cause there's no radar on AH1W. The only vehicle from the mod that has a radar in real life is Shilka. In EvW radar also was given to m163 to make a pilot's life harder. :-)))

    Anyway, thanks for the feedback. It's appreciated! ;-)

  14. Posted · Edited by sudden

    if it's to make game play harder but seems AI can't play as hard it is because their engagement is so buggy if you just put some units and see them.

    AI is not the best, that's right. :-)))

    so I just saw in previous posts an user requested for an armed UAZ with MG and you just told him you are not sure it was in service for soviets in those years so I though you want to bring a mod accurately about that era.

    I meant I'm not sure if UAZ with MG was used in Soviet or Russian army at all. Just because I never saw it. Actually, this mod is more about 86-91 era, I even plan a small campaign about the alternative history of USSR brakedown, where instead of the peaceful change of power KGB finds out that CIA stands behind the freedom movements in Soviet republics and in one night arrests a whole network of agents. US tries to free them, but the operation fails. As "a punishment" US president issues an order to use nuclear weapons against soviet bases across Europe and WWIII starts.

    I know that missiles guide by gunner as in arma 3 blackfoot and kajman is same, and without gunners you can't lock and fire missiles but you can't fire missiles in this mod even when your gunner is there so it's a bug and related ti AI which should be fixed by mode creator.

    You can select target for gunner from radio (2) menu and issue a fire command (ctrl+left mouse by default). Gunner will fire at the target.

    some times I can swim with that, also it can move under water without taking damage for both player and vehicle, that's an issue isn't?

    Yes that's a known issue. :-)))

  15. Posted · Edited by sudden

    1- and maybe other air vehicle have very small lock range so player have hard work to bring targets in this small range to lock them, also seems AI can't use lock feature well because of this.

    2- the skin of it is not something like cold war era.

    1. This was made to remove superior powers from air vehicles. You have to work hard to hit a target. And if you have small view distance on the map, air vehicles become unusable (which is true in real life).

    2. Who said it was about the Cold war era? I just said this mod was inspired by...

    AH1W:

    1- it's an AH1Z model which is modern not from cold war era, maybe you want to ask CWR 2 authors to import their real and awesome AH1W model.

    2-air to ground missiles not work I could not lock on enemy tanks!

    1. No it's not. :-))) In my mod it is exactly AH-1W (in service till 1986). And in CWR2 they have an AH-1F.

    2. Yes, because missiles should be guided by the gunner. You should track them until they hit the target. No cheater locking... ;-)))

    M113:

    1- can't turn left and right in water and also in many times it never surface on water and just go under water.

    2- this vehicle and maybe other armored vehicles take damage from hitting objects and blocks.

    and some other bugs I found:

    tanks won't fight well for example I just put my self as an abrams and with 3 t-72 they found me hardly and even fired on wrong direction.

    also cars such as UAZ I tested, can climb hills with high speed (near their maximum speeds)

    1. Arma3 bug. It's a pity, but in Arma3 tracked vehicles can't move in water.

    2. Vehicle's parameters, the damage system and balance will be tweaked on the way.

    Ambush was where it was at. I played Ambush for 3 months in the demo before I got the full game for Christmas. It is quite possibly my favorite mission out of all the ArmA games and maybe even any game I have ever played.

    Oh, yeah! It was also my favorite! :-)))

    I was a Steal The Car OFP baby. Also notable because it was the first (and last) mission that my then-girlfriend-now-wife tried to play.

    Booted up the mission. Took 15 steps forward. Killed by a Soviet infanteer lying next to the fountain.

    Yes, same impressions! But the thing I didn't like mostly was the floating zone of a weapon. It took me time to see the advantages of this.

    Hi,it is possible to adapt the T-55 (Middle East Conflict mod

    ) On the Soviet side ?? thanks.

    It's in the plans, actually, but not a high priority stuff. I think it will come with the desert part, because T55 were used in Afganistan.

    I'm so glad you want to add single player works to this, surely one of best methods to experience and enjoy a mod such this, is to create some great and immersive playable contents like campaign and scenario missions, I,m glad to help you in this way, also converting some stuff from OPF would be good idea.

    I just voted up your mod with my two steam accounts hope it become best in makearmanotwar.

    Thank you very much for your support!

    If you could suggest your own missions, or convert some from OFP, I would be happy to add them to the mod.

    Wow a lot of cool stuff planned. Can't wait for it :)

    Yeah. I see a lot of annoying things in the mod that I want to change, but until I finish everything I have planned my number one rule is "Don't look back, just make new stuff!"

    But after that I'll have to start from the start... fixing. :-)))

    ---------- Post added at 02:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:26 PM ----------

    Sorry, haven't noticed that you fixed it recently. Thanks!

    It's ok! Please report bugs if you find some. I do my best to fix it on the fly!

    Thank you!

    Thanks for the reply, glad it wasn't just me! On that note, I'd also like to bring to your attention that the infantry units don't seem to have blood decals when hit, it's especially annoying when you are prone, get up when shot, and then try to run away not realizing that you were shot in the legs and have a mobility hit.

    Yeah! Thanks! All the small details are to be fixed on the final stage.

    The plan of the further development is:

    Rifle optics (Day and Night),

    Marksmen and Snipers,

    Static weapons,

    Mobile Artillery,

    Radio

    >> v. 1.0 >>

    Gun sounds, Reload anims, Materials, damage, penetration, armour, blood textures...etc, etc, etc...

    AND MISSIONS (that what mods are for, right?)

    Hey Sudden

    Getting an error when i place a spetznaz uav operator in the editor.

    "Bad veihicle type_RU_UAV_01_Backpack"

    Getting this error since update.Mission wont load with this error.

    Cheers! Thanks for the report! :-)) I'm making an update now, this will be fixed.

    is this project a continue of CWR? are you from CRW team or have relation with them?

    thanks for your work, somewhere I saw CWR said their awesome project were made during 8 years, so you did it only in months???

    hope some lover developers use your mod to convert those great operation flashpoint campaigns and missions!

    thanks again for your efforts.

    Cheers and thanks!

    No, this mod is not associated CWR in any way (or it would have the Jeep in the first release :-)))).

    I don't know about porting the OFP missions, but I have a lot of mission ideas of my own. And I'm going to bring them to life shortly.

    ---------- Post added at 08:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:01 PM ----------

    I'm sorry to be a bit "late", but I just wanna say that the last update was really good :)

    Thank you so much :)

    Whenever I have time to get into the editor, I have some ideas about Cold War missions!

    Keep it up!

    Thank you, my friend. If you have really good missions, I would love to include them with the mod. I'm going to make missions for the U.S.S.R. side, but I also would need the N.A.T.O. scenarios.

    ---------- Post added at 08:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:04 PM ----------

    Well, there are those broken vanilla sniper rifles.

    Apparently only the ones that come with scope pre-attached are broken. Those that didn't have one to begin with work fine when trying to add the scope. That's how I worked around the bug until it gets fixed.

    Man, are you reading the changelogs? v0.99Beta fixes the vanilla optics bug!!! Just checked it again... every scope is on it's place. :-)))))

    ---------- Post added at 08:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 PM ----------

    Not exactly gamebreaking, but your NVGs don't show up on the characters (is there an actual old NVG model or does "NVG (old style)" in the readme just refer to the visual effect?), and the recon units have night vision by default even if they don't have the goggles.

    Yes, there's a mess with my NVGs. Will be fixed. Thanks for the report!

    ---------- Post added at 08:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:07 PM ----------

    Hi Sudden! Amazing work, I'm loving the Attack Choppers, but I think there might be a bug with the AH1W gunners.

    For me at least, the AH1W gunner can't seem to use the MG, and instead they are just calling out and targeting the enemies, not shooting. I tested out the AH1W and Mi24, and the Mi24 worked, but the Ah1W did nothing.

    If you could get back to me on this, that would be great! Please keep this mod going, it's such an immersive experience bringing back OFP likeness into the A3 engine.

    *EDIT* Upon further inspection, it seems that it works against air, but still not against ground targets.

    Thank you very much!

    The bug is confirmed. AI is using guided rockets against infantry instead of the machine gun. I'm investigating.

    ---------- Post added at 08:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 PM ----------

    Tried to get weapons out of ammo crates as Soviet Recon. They just go into nothing while removing from the box, taking away your original weapon and replacing it with nothing. Ammo transfers though.

    Example, try to grab PKM, you get the ammo, your AKS goes into the box, but you don't get a PKM.

    Confirmed. This is because of the NVGs. If you put the Binoculars to ammobox, put the NVGs(which doesn't have a picture, BTW :j:), you will be able to take a weapon, and after that you can even take NVGs back. -))))))

    Thanks a lot for the report!!!

    Nice update, thanks again for your continuing expansion and support of this addon.

    An issue with the M939: the cargo positions 13 and 14 make the unit invisible, and from his point of view he is somewhere on the floor of the truck, not in a seat. Also, the truck can carry 14 units in cargo but it seems like there are only 13 seats available; 12 in back, one in the cab. With 14 units in cargo, there is one seat empty because that guy is in the floor, and another guy in the floor who wouldn't have a seat.

    Same problem with Ural actually.

    Wow, thanks for the report! How did I manage to miss that bug?
