@diehardfc Make sure when you name your mission do not use spaces. example West to East change to West_to_east. Filenames doesnt like spaces. ;) Try that n let me know. :)

@ The Hebrew Hammer ahhh yes I'll add a selection to the module and script by next release script maybe release after. There is no ambient air though. Just firearms and artillery and rockets sorta. Another W2E with AMBS Gameply by Cosmic. This is without my goofy sound mod only ambs and whatever mods he is using.

Got a vid from Sttosin. With all new sounds on it. Have another uploading that will be several hours before complete. Low frames though becuase of the vid capture.

Thanks guys glad you enjoy it. :) Added some new sounds You can hear them best towards the end. Well a couple of them. Also editing the pitch of explosions.

Found a few errors in sp_respawn script. Here is newer version

Thanks man. Glad you like it. :) This vid has 3 different mods Im working on. 1) obviously AMBS 2) an experimental sound mod lol prob will never be released I'm not the coder or modder Jarhead is on sounds just bored. lol 3) Greener Vanilla uniforms. enjoy

yup gonna upload new one hear for armaholic and others as soon as my slowwww internet gets my dropbox updated. lol In the link here you will have the mod itself plus inside of it you will find script version. ;) ---------- Post added 07-03-2015 at 01:01 AM ---------- Previous post was 07-02-2015 at 11:30 PM ---------- NEw AMBS upload! :) Changelog: New sounds revamped Added input instead of selection so you can input your own numbers to make what you want the ambient battle sound like as far as scale and intensity. Next update... idk how long, but there will be new cat for volumns. ;)

lol love those moment. Hopefully tonight after work I'll upload release with sample mission and scripts. Thanks again. :)

ahhhhh thanks savage... I'll deffo try that! Thanks a lot. I'll let you know as soon as I'm able to test it. Thanks!!! :) ---------- Post added at 12:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 AM ---------- Yup that did it!!!!

yup working on both, but so far script version without the mod doesnt play the sounds. :( May have to change the files from wss to ogg. but I dont think that will work either. idk. I'll keep tinkering till I find a solution. Then I'll release. Probably without the tweaked flybys and and hits sounds I've done to them.

Hi ryandombrowsky Congrats and nice mod! I was wondering if you'd prefer your logics into modules?

Its like before you can pick in choose how much you want it to do. I'm going to extend on this before release, but it has it. ;)

Neh not going any where yet. Thanks :) Im also working on some inpact sounds and bullet flybys. Inpact sounds are getting better. flybys are better but I want to make them louder at larger distance. But having a hard time with that. I may release this weekend and get some input on it.

coming soon

Snake Skin Uniforms. http://www.armaholic.com/datas/users/snake-skin-uniforms-v02-1_4.jpg (556 kB) After decades of failure of Modern military camo. Military leaders opted on a more natural look. Studies show snakes are the hardest animals to spot while in cover. Snake skin provides modern infantry men just with that. Soldiers will now be able to be hidden in cover with this new technology. Guilie suits are still best but this comes to a close 2nd place. Nothing is required for this addon. As a rule of thumb I normally wil download CBA. Most addons require this. Future updates will require CBA. ;) I released this on steam didnt think anyone would Download it. lol But after a few told me to put on BIS. I figured why not. So here it is enjoy.

Another note that most may not have figured out. If you want the AI to stop spawning. Say you have a hold sector for X amount of times. You want it to stop so you can go do something else. Name your AISpawn module say OPSPAWN. Set up a trigger say timeout at 600 which is about 5 minutes. in onAct field type in DeleteVehicle OPSPAWN . And that will stop the onslaught. ;)

lol actually sense my last edit of the script I didnt test that. When I have some time I will. but yess theoreticly if you put a marker on the map and put the Name you gave the marker in the script call it should work. Other wise It will spawn him in random cover positions. You will need this script with it for that. /* File: FOA_find_cover.sqf Author: Mikey74 Description: Function to find good cover positions exluding insects,footprints,men,feathers,pavement, leaflets, and roads.

Need a bit more info. Tell me what your doing at the time, and what the enemy AI is doing? Also do you have the newest version? Like for instance. Are you out in the open and being ambushed? What combat mode and behavior is you team set to? or send me the mission. let me have a look. That may get faster results. If you want send it through pm. If its a project.

OK here is an example mission using find cover script for spawning instead of a marker. You can add a marker to map and name it and use it in this script but try what i have 1st. When you start, there is a radio trigger. if you hit 0 0 1 your man will find a cover position for approx 5 seconds then return to formation. After you do that there are mines up the road as you enter the town. Run and get killed. You should respawn with what weapons and ammo you had at death. The exact number. ;) Script is called for respawn with this Rsp = [this,3,7] execVM "MikesSP_Respawn.sqf"; if you decide on a marker to respawn on use this to call it. Do not use objects only nothing or a marker. Rsp = [this,3,7,"yourmarkernamehere"] execVM "MikesSP_Respawn.sqf"; Trigger calling for cover is called with this {cover_now = [_x] execVM "Movetocover.sqf";} forEach units (group player); Spawning N cover example mission Put this in you mission folder in your documents arma 3. Try both but I think the 1 below is a bit better on respawning. Edit had to tweak some things in script the other one works, but I like this one better.

yeh its a find cover script. Not takecover, but I use it for my take cover type script in FOA's next release (not released yet). I'll make a few sample missions in the next few days after FOA beta release to demonstrate how you can use them. ;)

hmm maybe LEA and FOA use same variables. This is the only thing I can think of at the moment. When I get a bit more time. We'll dl LEA's script n see if thats the case. ;)

Those errors that you have are not effected or even used by FOA.:/ After testing few more times I still do not have those errors. Its not FOA. Or something is installed wrong. But I'll have my guys check n see if they get those errors. I cant help you if I dont know whats going on on youre end. Especially if I cant duplicate it on my end. I'm going to update in next day or two. Maybe this will clear it up for you. The problem is Im 99.9% sure thats not FOA. Just for the fact that I do not use any of those things listed in foa.

hmmm none of that has anything to do with FOA. Try Verifying arma 3. FOA doesnt deal with the majority of those warning messages. Thats not foa. sorry I couldnt help. Like I said the only help I can offer is Verify arma 3.
