Hi all, I know how to do airstrikes just fine via the SOM and tactical airstrike function, however I have a question... How can I change the plane type from two AV8Bs to say one A10 or three F35s etc? Thanks!

Was digging through the Eagle Wing files and found the code related to the cool ash and dust effects //--- Wind & Dust [] spawn { waituntil {isplayer brown}; setwind [0.201112,0.204166,true]; while {true} do { _ran = ceil random 5; playsound format ["wind_%1",_ran]; _obj = vehicle player; _pos = position _obj; //--- Dust setwind [0.201112*2,0.204166*2,false]; _velocity = [random 10,random 10,-1]; _color = [1.0, 0.9, 0.8]; _alpha = 0.02 + random 0.02; _ps = "#particlesource" createVehicleLocal _pos; _ps setParticleParams [["\Ca\Data\ParticleEffects\Universal\universal.p3d", 16, 12, 8], "", "Billboard", 1, 3, [0, 0, -6], _velocity, 1, 1.275, 1, 0, [9], [_color + [0], _color + [_alpha], _color + [0]], [1000], 1, 0, "", "", _obj]; _ps setParticleRandom [3, [30, 30, 0], [0, 0, 0], 1, 0, [0, 0, 0, 0.01], 0, 0]; _ps setParticleCircle [0.1, [0, 0, 0]]; _ps setDropInterval 0.01; sleep (random 1); deletevehicle _ps; _delay = 10 + random 20; sleep _delay; }; }; //--- Ash [] spawn { waituntil {isplayer brown}; _pos = position player; _parray = [ /* 00 */ ["\Ca\Data\ParticleEffects\Universal\Universal", 16, 12, 8, 1],//"\Ca\Data\cl_water", /* 01 */ "", /* 02 */ "Billboard", /* 03 */ 1, /* 04 */ 4, /* 05 */ [0,0,0], /* 06 */ [0,0,0], /* 07 */ 1, /* 08 */ 0.000001, /* 09 */ 0, /* 10 */ 1.4, /* 11 */ [0.05,0.05], /* 12 */ [[0.1,0.1,0.1,1]], /* 13 */ [0,1], /* 14 */ 0.2, /* 15 */ 1.2, /* 16 */ "", /* 17 */ "", /* 18 */ vehicle player ]; _snow = "#particlesource" createVehicleLocal _pos; _snow setParticleParams _parray; _snow setParticleRandom [0, [10, 10, 7], [0, 0, 0], 0, 0.01, [0, 0, 0, 0.1], 0, 0]; _snow setParticleCircle [0.0, [0, 0, 0]]; _snow setDropInterval 0.01; _oldPlayer = vehicle player; while {true} do { waituntil {vehicle player != _oldPlayer}; _parray set [18,vehicle player]; _snow setParticleParams _parray; _oldPlayer = vehicle player; }; }; Goes in the mission init file. Ash is working great for me, oddly I don't see any dust effect :confused: Obviously, the player name must be changed. Hopefully someone will find this useful. And if you figure out the dust let me know :)

Hey, So in Steamroller, the goggles effect is a .paa file (preferred image format for Arma). It was kindly made for me by MadDogX (who I believe is now a moderator on these forums). It works as a resource that you call up as an overlay in game. You could make something similar in Photoshop; have it mostly transparent (of course) and add the vignette bordering. Basically you have to define it in your description.ext (http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Description.ext#rscTitles) class RscTitles { // define image here }; and then call it in your init.sqf with cutRsc or titleRsc (http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/cutRsc | http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/titleRsc) cutRsc ["whateverImageClassName","PLAIN"]; Feel free to poke around the mission files for reference. https://dev-heaven.net/projects/anm-missions/files Hope that helps.

Submitted :)

Thanks for these! Very helpful.

Cool, always nice to see audio improvements.

Have you tried setCaptive on the helo?

Thanks! Cool, hope it goes well. I'm definitely not done with mission making, but I think my focus is going to be more on A3 for awhile.

Cheers SB

Nice! Thank you

Done, hope my Intel Xeon E5462 handles A3 alright :j:

Oh sorry to hear, hope it's not broken! Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed it. The sound not found is an ACE bug I believe that is fixed for a future update. Yeah with the gear selection it won't auto add the ammo if it's non-standard, like tracers and Mk262 I believe. You should be able to toggle off 3rd person by editing whatever difficulty you want in [Options > Game Options > Difficulty]

Congrats on the public release bink, great units.

There are some pics of the PS4 UI here: http://www.thesixthaxis.com/2013/02/28/sony-releases-clear-screens-of-the-ps4-user-interface/ One of the PSN usernames is "DayZ100".

This. Cherna with open buildings would be quite fun.

Yup, that was one thing I noticed needed fixing. One of the recent ACE updates changed how medical loadouts were handled. All units should now have appropriate gear on them, and there are also some medical crates, vehicles and field hospitals here and there for resupply. Cool haha, there will definitely be some future stuff for A3. I might upload unfinished stuff just for fun at some point perhaps.. Thanks binko :) Yes, basically the versions in this pack are more recent than the ones bundled in ACE. It also includes some Combined Ops versions of A2 missions that were only in ACE MP but never got posted here. Sounds good, let me know how it goes.

I've given all my missions a final touch up before A3 descends. They are now in 1 pack which includes the most recent versions of all for Singleplayer or Coop.

Good news, nice to see things moving along.

Thanks for the update, looking forward to trying it out.

In conjunction with kylania's script that was linked to above you can use attachTo to attach the game logic (where the hellfire is spawned from) to a flying UAV. It works quite well.

I think it's good to see BIS going this direction for A3, Steam really has a lot of benefits. If it makes things easier for them and it gets the game out the door in a more timely fashion, then it's a good move :)

I'd vote for mixing it up. Looks good so far buddy.

Looks promising, and the new name sounds good :)
