VolvoJocke1337:s Tracer Mod TL;DR Makes (almost) all standard A3 weapons fire tracer rounds! :D UPDATE 20161201: V0.2 Added APEX and RHS: Escalation versions UPDATE 20170128: ACE version in steam workshop http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=850254057 version 0.2 For vanilla Arma 3, DLC:s and APEX: >>>>DOWNLOAD <<<< RHS: AFRF version 0.1: >>>>DOWNLOAD<<<< RHS: USAF version 0.1: >>>>DOWNLOAD<<<< Also available on Steam Workshop Overview: So back in 2009 a similar mod was released for Arma 2 by "Pistolfied" and I really enjoyed it. AFAIK nobody made a mod like this for Arma 3, so I thought I'd share my own creation. This mod will make all (I hope) rifles, carbines and machineguns fire nothing but tracer rounds. Note that I have left out vehicle ammo, sniper rifles, and pistols. These are the magazines that are effected by this mod: 5.56mm 30rnd STANAG Mag 6.5mm 30Rnd STANAG Mag 6.5mm 30Rnd Caseless Mag 6.5mm 100Rnd Belt Case 6.5mm 200Rnd Belt 6.5mm 200Rnd Belt Case 7.62(x51)mm 150Rnd Box 7.62(x54)mm 150Rnd Box .338 NM 130Rnd Belt 9.3mm 150Rnd Belt 9mm 30Rnd Mag 9mm 16Rnd Mag .45 ACP 30Rnd Vermin Mag 20161201: APEX mags added. Added some mags I missed Might have forgotten some but whatever :P This may not be realistic but it is a lot of fun! Not tested in MP. Not really tested in SP either, just enjoyed. The mod is signed though. Changelog: v0.1: - first release v0.2: - Added APEX support - Added some mags I had missed Credits: The author is me VolvoJocke1337.

ACE version up and running in steam workshop. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=850254057

Yes it should work, from what I understand you as an author of a scenario in Arma 3 workshop can set my mod as a dependency, which will make the Arma 3 launcher download my mod when people install your mission.

Thank you for reporting this. I've updated the Steam Workshop version, so now pistols and SMG:s work again.

Mod updated to v0.2 with APEX support, also RHS versions released! See first post :)

No scripts needed it works all the time for all units having the included mags :)

Thank you :) Actually I already have a RHS version, but it is incomplete. I will finish it and upload it.

I got it to work, thanks :D But like you said, many bugs and many things are missing. Im just gonna play with Chernarus and Utes for a while, they seem to work pretty good. Our awesome community will probably do a "proper" port of A2 stuff soon enough :)

On topic guys. How do I go about porting A2 stuff to A3? Like the guy in the vid...

Am I the only one that would like a boxed copy of A3? :cool: But I still wanna play the Alpha :(

If Molon Lave/labe means come and get it, and the monument at Stratis has those words, and the ARG seem to focus on the monument. Then, maybe "Come and get it" or "Come and take" is the message to the community! Like Come to Stratis, come to the monument. And take "it", which could be the Alpha or whatever. Maybe on a USB drive ^^ Or we should "come and take" something else somewhere. Maybe past the terminal with the login, still just speculation though...

They left it there and hinted about the location. Have a look at this: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=14129&highlight=ARMA%2B2%2BHACKED The picture is from the landscape Chernarus is based on, and in the hole in the ground there was a metal box with a map or something. Somebody from the community went the and found it.

BIS are probably laughing at us right now -.- In the last ARG, when ArmA 3 was first revealed, somebody went to the real location of a house outside Kraznostav which had some significance in the A2 story. And there was a clue hidden. I say somebody has to go to the monument and look, anybody up for a holiday? ^^ You might even find Miller!

I don't know if this helps or has been mentioned earlier but I tried to login with my BI account and the terminal (at m26.node-42.rv4a3.org) seems to recognize email adresses, and automatically makes them clickable and blue, like links on wikipedia :confused: But I didn't get in though :(

This island is really awesome! Nice work! :D But I have one question; in one of the Beta trailers you see a military base with units that seem to be custom made. Are these in the works or have I missed them? Is it an already released addon?

The Utes mission doesn't work in ArmA 2 standalone, even with the OA flagpoles and the market stalls (which I didn't see when I tested it with CO) changed to A2 stuff. I never get the "Init done" message and I never get the "Commander Screen" action. This is a little sad as all my friends have only A2. Could you mayby have one mission that work with A2 standalone? This mod is so awesome and i've waited for something like this :D

I think Miller is holding a Barrett M95 on the Youtube and Facebook page. http://www.youtube.com/arma3official

http://www.bistudio.com/index.php/english/games/arma3 Im not beliveing what im seeing! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AWESOMENESS OVERLOAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ahh now I found it :) Thanks man!

Hey there, I have ArmA 2 installed in 2 different locations. One for singelplayer which is modded to breaking point, and one "clean" for multiplayer. Now the question is: How do I patch the "clean" ArmA, which I didn't install traditionaly, but just copied the files from the disc. The patcher automatically locates the modded singelplayer ArmA, which I installed traditionaly and before the "clean" version. I dont't know what to do :confused: And I've tried serching. Thanks in advance :)

I've tried but I can't figure it out, I'm not really used to Regedit :o I've only found a Bohemia Interactive Studios folder in: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA 2 There only was 2 things, A (Standard) file, which contains nothing, and "Player name" file which contains my profile name. Please explain a little more what I'm supposed to do :) I also tried searching google but came up empty...

I give up, PM me the different logins, please...

You know when you pause the game it gets blurred, and when you continue this blur dissapears? When I play the campaign the blur STAYS after I've pressed "continue" and are back in the game, no matter what I do! Saving and restarting doesn't even help. Is there some way to disable this "menu blur" without having to disable HDR and motionblur? ---------- Post added at 01:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:25 PM ---------- Nevermind, I found a solution! In the ui.pbo I found a script named "uiPostEffectBlur.sqf". In there I just changed everything to false and 0, and repacked it. And it worked! No more blur!

Indeed it is awesome! But this could make it even better : http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=7491 The infantry is so perfectly recreated that I sometimes think I'm playing arma 1!
