    Hi,
    It's been a long time since the last update. Most of the development team has been inactive for years now. We had a bunch of new sounds made years ago for a proposed "sound update" and lately, I have been fixing some stuff.

    So here we are. This is just a FoW patch with different / reworked combat audio, a mission, and several small fixes. Hope you guys like it.

    Regards,
    FoW Team

    Just synch it to a real mortar unit placed on map. Then you can adjust parameters in the module interface. I forgot to add some description to the module....I thought it was self explanatory but i was clearly wrong! Sorry about that, I will integrate it in the next update!

    @Shiloh
    This should work. Try to enable the "debug mode"

    So I really like the look of the AI Mortar module but I'm damned if I can get it to work. I've tried everything I can think of even coming down as far as a profile of just Faces of War and CBA but all to no avail. Can anyone tell me what I do need to do to enable it?

    Dear Community,

    Long time has passed since our previous release. We were quiet. We had our fair share of RL and other issues, however in our free time, we kept working on FoW. Hereby we want to release a little update containing some fixes, improvements and a few goodies to play with.

    Release highlights:

    - Pak 40 (different camos)

    - New terrain: Gold Beach* (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2043771912)

    - New Type 92 HMG variants (by variants, I mean suitable for different heights)

    - Static MG suppression / RoF system

    - A new mission

    - AI mortar fire

    - General fixes and improvements

    * Gold Beach requires additional mods.

     

    Sadly, the planned sound update had to be excluded from this release due to some unforseen issues. Our buddy and Sound Pope, the Grandfather of Reverberation in Arma, tpM is working his ass off right now to fix it and get it ready and polished for the next update (because yes, there will be more... details soon).

     

    We've decided to set up a Patreon page to let everyone contribute to the project and help us grow it more rapidly (https://www.patreon.com/user?u=26577659).
    Faces of War is and always will be a free modification available for everyone. Our goal is to improve quality and increase the player experience.
    Contributing on Patreon is not mandatory. We will continue to work on this project regardless, but your help will grant us to speed up the process, develop new features and acquire new assets.


    Have fun!!!

    The plan is to deliver this update, focused mainly on bug fixing and few addition and then switch to a different approach. We would like to have smaller releases, focused on one/two assets at a time. This way we hope to reduce the time between each patch.

    Tha main "problem" with the sten is that A3 is not really friendly with weapons without a grip. if you move the weapon closer to the shoulder, the wrist will be in a "broken" position. Sadly this is how A3 hand animations works, we had to choose between giving the character a right weapon's position but a broken wrist or a "wrong" weapon position but an "okay" hand position

    How can you mute the chatter of soldiers?

    Its strange hearing the SS or Wehrmacht talking english and there are allready german voice profiles.

    I tried the module, but this didnt work. Thanks in advance.

    They should be mute by default, otherwise it's a bug. Are you using any other mod?

    Although you would have to make sure simple stuff like Airborne uniforms being slightly able to carry more than a standard uniform because of the pockets, and maybe including the bandoleer to an Airborne vest to stick to the principle that the soldier carries the ammo on his webbing, you have to remember that they don't take into account initially then working with an ACE expert to figure out how much the weight since I would assume they make sure it fit an arma 3 medkit or two, like they stated, leaving the backpack for any extra gear.


    Already done for the next patch

    How do I get the Manual Bolting module to work? I've tried both simply placing it and syncing it to playable units, but I can't get it to work?

    Also, (could just be an issue on my end that'll fix itself, knowing Arma), but does anyone have issues using the short sleeve uniform that the light Australian units wear? Vest and hat seems to function, but the uniform model is in a t-pose. Thanks for the addon, really enjoying it!

     

    I've to take a look, it seems to be broken

    No such thing as "realism" with regards to ArmA3 inventory.

     

    Esp. regarding WW2 infantry loadout habits (not manual of arms often written by armchair officers)

    How would you configure it then? Every vest is the same? How do you decide which vest can store more stuff or not? How would you set the "mass" value?

  24. Posted

    At the moment we've configured the vest space in this way:
    number of magazine you see on the vest + 20 cargo space (20 is equal to 2 german grenade, or 4/5 US grenade more or less)

    it could be changed, but i can't understand how a soldier could carry and store all that stuff


    If you want more cargo space you can add a small backpack or a bigger backpack like the bergen.

    We've to adjust a bit the cargo space of the uniforms, especially for the paras since they have more pockets than M37 and the M41.

    We could tweak those values if you provide some tech info, but as you said, we don't want to re-create a one-man-army soldier
