that's exactly my ONLY gripe aswell mate, but I think that's one of the main problems he's tackling with this new version, as there's gonna be a "lite" particles version from what I gather and thus hopefully nae dissapearing thangs..!

Lol, all good things come to those who wait... BTW, doesn anyone else here find OS's Avatar extremely intimidating..!? ;) Btw, and this is serious, can someone please define "spamming" as I am new to forums etc... proper noob I know (I know what a noob is; I think...)

"Take your time man no need to hurry." ...yes there is, I'm gagging for this addon, lol..!!! ;)

I wonder if the explosion particles will be configurable or it's will be a set lite version..? Either way- great stuff OS! :)

aye, you take your time Opticalsnare man... it's gonna be great! :)

Hi, I've notice a few times now, that some of the guns although having full magazines in the gears, show up ammo as "0" in RED in the HUD. I press reload or fire, to no avail. The pressing fire actually gets the click of an empty weapon. This happens when I change to a different gun in the Trail By Fire in the chopper on the way to the village, and has also just happened to me using US Navy Seal Saboteur... Am I doing something really stupid for this to be happening or is it a know buy as I've searched (Believe me I'v wasted half a day searching...) and have found no refs to this. Cheers for ANY help guys! Mean! ---------- Post added at 01:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:40 PM ---------- ps, just to clarify, the guns it happens to on the Trail By Fire mission is called MP5SD6 and I take 6 mags of MP5 ammo from the chopper aswell but when disembarked it's red 0 and dead mans click... WTF is going on..? The other guns are fine...

Hi all..! I've downloaded Quesh Kibrul and it's a fantastic map. But, I need to download some skins ideally for sort of USMC (And US Special Forces if nessecary) and also Taliban and some terrorists middle Eastern style. Can anyone with experience of these please point me to the BEST ones going as I've no idea really. I've had a look but do not know which ones to download. Also, I don't have ACE or many other mods at all, just maps really so I don't really want to have to install x,y,z just to drop these guys into the editor! Any help is much appreciated guys, cheers! Mean PS, sorry, I should add that is the difference between replacement packs and addons basically that replacement will "overwrite" (replace) the ones already there, wereas addons will add to your collection of soldiers to choose from..? Noob questin I know...

Hey, thanks very much for the swift replies and help guys. Aye, Sgt Spoetnik I know there's some good sites and stuff, but I was after more advice and pointers to actual specific addons more than directions... Cheers very much for you help anyway man, appreciated! :) This game is GREAT!!! :)

that is great great news Opticalsnare, can't wait!!! :)

Does anyone else here know if there will be an option to turn down the particles emmited on explosions etc..? So we can have more without the dissapearing smoke problem? Or, when Opticalsnare says there will be a Lite Version, is this what he means..?

Hi Opticalsnare, In your "Lite" version of WarFXParticles are you reducing the amount of particles initial explosions give off, as when it's used with JTD Fire And Smoke (another must have classic addon) sometimes we have the dissapearing smoke/explosions thang! I know it's picky as hell as this really is a fantastic mod, but it seems almost essential to get something so fundamental to immersion working 100%, no visual errors etc. It's really gutting- you're in a HUGE firefight, smoke billowing everywhere, then a missile strikes home, and all the smoke dissapears, resets, and starts over again COMPLETELY breaking any immersion you once had... :( Picky as hell, but what'd be the complete Dogs B's would be a .cgf file we could tweak aswell for the amount of particles given off in initial explosions as they SEEM to be the ones that start this reset of the engines particles draw system..?! Anyway, my two pence (not cents; we are British after all chaps, tally bally ho. Lol... Just kidding! Need to spice up these forums!!!) Anyways, glad to be part of this forum! Mean!

hi, thanks anyway, but unfortunately thats messed up my JTD and WarFXParticles now. basically, everytime a missle (Or explosion) now happens with the huge sparkly explosion, the effect AND JTD smoke effect sort of "resets" itself, making all the smoke dissapear all of a sudden and then start over again. this looks really bad and I've tried to delete then reinstall the addons separately, but as soon as I add the WarFX one this now happens. Does anyone please have ANY help before I just try to do a complete ArmA2 reinstall... Crap, this was all working fine before, now it's gone messed up and won't go back to how it was...? HELP..!!!

Hi all, I'm really trying to use the HiFi_A10 v1.3 addon, but am having no luck! I am currently also running: @JTD (amazing!) @WarFXParticles (amazing!) @Xam_environment (amazing!) so I know how to install and make addons work. BUT, with this one, I've had no luck. I've done exactly what it says on the tin for install, but it doesn't happen for me. As an experiment, I've also got a shortcut for AMRA2 vanilla, so I tried adding HiFi's (Plus CBA obviously), and it WORKED in that version, but as you can guess there was obviously none of the above three addons, as it's vanilla. Does anyone know what my remedy might be to get ALL these working together? I've also tried putting the -mod= etc etc before the other ones, but still no joy! Please help, I've seen it work in my vanilla shortcut because the option in the cockpit of the A10 came up with 2sec/15 sec etc, and it sounded great! Please, any help would be appreciated! ---------- Post added at 01:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:16 PM ---------- hello again! I also forgot: What's the difference with the HiFi_A10 and the HiFi_SFX..? is it basically the SFX one has loads more different sound like ambient/weapons etc..? Is there any conflict here? Also I noticed that in the standard folder ArmA 2/AddOns there is already an a10.pbo... Is this a problem with trying to use the HiFi_A10 addon..? I'm a tad confused now..!? Please help, I'm new to this game but absolutley love it, the immersion is something else man!!!
