Extended Effects Extended Effects (ExtFX) enables AI speech, dynamic environment sounds, tracers, bullet cracks and many other effects in vanilla CWA and any other mod Main features Enhanced animations, including leaning stances (by using WW4 animations) AI Speech (DSAI) with configurable languages for each side, including english, russian and arabic Dynamic soundscape: ambient sounds will play randomly when in forests, towns or shores Contextual stance for AI: AI units will stand up, crouch or go prone depending on the nearby objects Realistic tracers for MGs and MMGs Bullet cracks and reverb for shots indoors Dust effects for moving infantry and vehicles, bullet impacts, infantry shots, helicopter rotor wash, etc Smoke grenades now obscure AI vision. Also, AI with smoke grenades have a chance to throw them when in combat Flyby sounds for jet planes Destroyed trees will now obscure AI vision Engine volume levels inside vehicles adjusted to facilitate communication and be able to hear AI speech Other than this, the rest is the same as in vanilla OFP/CWA (same AI, same armor and damage values, etc). Gameplay will keep vanilla flavor. Optional features You can also enable other features that will modify vanilla gameplay further: Hand grenades will bounce before detonating AI units will flinch or fall down when hit by bullets AI units will be able to suppress an area occupied by enemy infantry Automatic launching of flares and chaff for air units Shots reverberate when indoors These optional features are disabled by default. You must manually enable them by editing the settings.sqf file found in the @extfx folder. Download Current version is in beta. This mod was created later past year but I haven't worked on it since december. Most features should work without problems. Only some minor bugs and some performance problems remain. It hasn't been tested in multiplayer, so I can only tell you that it works in single player. Also, due to the extensive use of getposASL and setposASL most of the features won't work in old OFP, and probably never will. My intention is to eventually keep testing, fixing and increasing the compatibily of this project... once I have more time on my hands, that's it. Main mod ExtFX - Beta version This always will be the latest patched version. Hotfixes will be listed below when needed. - https://www.mediafire.com/file/qu7e2e3c5x2922v/%40extfx_beta.zip - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0By2CaodBQ84GZTV1dDdIM1owMWs?usp=sharing Addon Packs These files include a series of addons that change the default vanilla visuals and sounds, making them more modern and, to some extent, more realistic. To enable them you need to change the definitions.hpp file in @extfx/bin with the corresponding one. You can learn more about how to change this in the included manual. - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0By2CaodBQ84GZTV1dDdIM1owMWs?usp=sharing ExtFX - WW4 models Models for infantry units from the WW4 mod.

Create a shortcut of the ColdWarAssault.exe file. Right click on the new shortcut and click on Properties. In the Properties window add the following line in the Target text field, just after the path to ColdWarAssault.exe : -mod=@extfx; Launch the game by using the new shortcut. Steam method If you don't want to use shortcuts and use the Steam version: Delete any previous installation of this expansion (by deleting the @extfx and related folders) Decompress the zip file and place the @extfx folder inside your ARMA Cold War Assault one . In your games list right click on Arma: Cold War Assault and select Properties. In the Properties window click on the SET LAUNCH OPTIONS... button. Write this in the text field: -mod=@extfx; Click OK. Click Close. Click Play. If you want to skip the OFP intro you can add -nosplash before the -mod line, like this: -nosplash -mod=@extfx; If you want to use the WW4 Extended definitions, models and sounds then you must launch the mod by adding the @extfx_WW4Ext folder this way (provided you already downloaded the ExtFX - WW4 Extended models file and correctly placed that folder): -nosplash -mod=@extfx;@extfx_WW4Ext Configuration files for other mods I've created a new folder with custom CONFIG.bin files for other mods. I've also included readmes to let all of you know what was changed in order to integrate both mods, along with the suggested mod order (which is, @extfx always before the mod you want to load). You can get them here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0By2CaodBQ84GaDNQaGdpSjdpWU0?usp=sharing Basically, when integrating this with one of those mods you want to load first the definitions.hpp file (and place it in the mod's /bin folder first) and then add the EH define to the Man, LandVehicle, Air and Ship classes. You should also add PRELOADBANKS_CUSTOM to PreloadBanks and PRELOADADDONS_CUSTOM to PreloadAddons, to make sure the tracers pbo is correctly loaded when the game starts. You might also want to replace their CfgMovesMC class with ExtFX's one. For mods or addon packs that don't provide a custom config.bin you can just load @extfx AFTER the mod/addon. Manual You can find more instructions and information about the available features and options in the manual. The manual is already included in the the @extfx/_docs folder in pdf form (ExtendedEffects-Manual.pdf), and it's also available online here.

Enhanced visual feedback SINGLEPLAYER ONLY About Squad Feedback aims to enhance AI / player communication via visual cues so you receive the same information your AI team does, including team status and known enemy locations. Features This mod can display the following information about each unit in your group: Index Its number in your group If it's the group leader or formation leader Group leaders will have their index between chevrons (like <1>). Formation leaders will display a ^ besides it (like 1^). If the unit is both it will be displayed like this: <1>^ Role Based on attributes and currently equipped weapon, which can be different from its class Class Health status Ammo status Team color Distance Alive status Dead squadmates can display a relevant icon (a skull) after a configurable time delay Also, as part of the group you can also receive information about current known enemies, including: Current or last known position Distance You can toggle the visibility of each one of those mentioned above in the Addon Settings panel. Occlusion Enemy units are subjected to occlusion and visibility checks, trying to emulate the way AI detects and follows threats: Enemy Tracking Devices By default, known enemies will automatically tracked whenever you have equipped one of the following items: Combat Goggles (any version, including balaclavas) Tactical Glasses (any version) VR Goggles Assassin Helmet (any version) Defender Helmet (any version) Fighter Pilot Helmet (any version) Special Purpose Helmet (any version) You can toggle this option off or add more gear with this feature by adding class names (without quotes and separated by commas) in the HUD Display - Advanced section of the Addon Settings panel. Default Keybinds Display Squad HUD (Toggle): TAB Display Known Enemies (Toggle): Ctrl + TAB You can change those keybinds by going to: Options > Controls > Configure Addons (in the lower part of the controls window) > Squad Feedback (select it from the ADDON combo box) Changing Settings You can change the default settings by going to: Options > Addon Options > Squad Feedback (select it from the ADDON combo box) If you hover over a setting's name a tooltip with extended information about what it does will be displayed.

Updated: - CHANGE: Increased default view distance for squadmates from 500 to 800m for land and from 1500 to 2000m for air - FIX: Fixed instance in which the HUD auto enabled without user input

No problem! I'm also a SP guy, so this was made mainly for myself. I've been using a (quite crude) version of this mod for years now. It wasn't until recently that I decided to make it public. Also, I'm pretty sure that we SP crowd are a significant chunk of the playerbase (if not the majority, although we just don't like to talk as much ), so I figured this tool would help quite a few others.

Updated: - NEW: Option to disable known enemies checks when not in a group, enabled by default. The known enemies will be those that the unit you are controlling perceives. Even if disabled, known enemies will still be shown if you have 'Allow Enemy Tracking Devices' enabled and one of those devices equipped. - NEW: Option to enable more precise visibility checks for enemy vehicles, disabled by default. This will check all the corners of their bounding box instead of a single point, so it will severely affect performance. - FIX: Enemy icons for armor was checking for the wrong parent class, displaying always the Unknown icon. Now enemy armor will display the armor icon, as it should. - FIX: More consistent results for the checks of group change - CHANGE: Separated clean enemy taggers as a function

Updated: - NEW: Enemy icons will now reflect the type of unit - NEW: Group and formation leaders index will now always be shown if "Always Show Index" is on - FIX: Fixed default enemy tracking devices not being detected in some instances - FIX: Unknown enemy position icon now changes size based on the last known position, not the real enemy position - CHANGE: No calculations will be done to display the HUD when the enemy and/or player are still, the stored values in the unit vars will be used instead. This helps improve performance but adds some jerkiness in the updating of the enemy icons - CHANGE: Removed redundant visibility calculations from HUD text functions - CHANGE: Refactored alpha function - CHANGE: Now using CBA_fnc_getFov instead of getObjectFOV

Glad you're finding it useful! There's no current option to do that, but you have some hints about the type of enemy right now. Vehicles will always display a bigger icon than infantry. I might consider including an option to show either class name or generic type of unit (infantry, tank, car, etc). The problem is that there's going to be a cluster of texts if enemies are too close, particularly at the distances you might find enemies in an air vehicle, which would make this option not that useful. Another option would be to change the generic "unknown" enemy icon that I'm using right now with one specific of that type of unit, but at a distance I'm afraid it wouldn't be that easy to tell apart. I don't know, I'm still tweaking all this. I'll look into it.

Central Africa factions set in 2035 Factions: CSAT (Central Africa) (OPFOR) CAAF (Tropic)/(Arid) (Independent) Rebels (Central Africa) (OPFOR & Independent) Civilians (Central AFrica) (civilian - african and asian) CAAF Central African Armed Forces (CAAF) based on a mix of several current central African nations and the armaverse. They appear as two separate factions: CAAF (Tropic) and CAAF (Arid). Both are the same except for the camo patterns they use. While their nation isn't immune to foreign interests they've remained mostly an independent actor. Russia has been a main provider for gear and hardware, but they have had also deals going on with other independent nations. They have been at war for decades with their nearest neighbor, the newest CSAT member, usually winning the conflicts. CSAT Under the initiative of the new head of state, an ambitious young general, this African country has managed to get their foot inside CSAT. This was considered by him as a key factor for the survival of their nation against their hostile neighboring country. From all the CSAT members, they have China as their closest friend. They were the main actor in favor of their membership and provide them with training, hardware and men for specialized roles. While the continuous training of the African military should lead to the roles now filled by Chinese being eventually filled by locals, some suspect the Chinese control over their army will never end. Rebels An amalgam of idealists, displaced and criminals, the central african rebels have received an influx of new blood from deserters who didn't like to be part of CSAT's puppet army. Although they pose a threat to the stability of both nations, CAAF has been accused lately of funding them to use them as a weapon against its neighbour.

I thought I'd share this little workaround I've come up with regarding wrong texture sorting. As per title, it refers to the cases where units aren't hidden by particles, usually smoke. Like here: This has been discussed before, and even some solutions were provided by a dev. Unfortunately, none of those worked for me for this particular texture. For some reason, the texture used for the equipment of the units shown in the screenshot above was causing all this problem with sorting. Nothing mentioned in that thread worked for me. Neither changing the name of the texture, copy pasting in a new file, exporting from the blood version (with blood hidden), exporting to tga through Irfanview (instead of GIMP), etc. There were some oddities regarding the texture, though. Its size, once conveted to .paa, was particularly big (about 300kb when the rest were 170). Also, checking the texture in TexView2 (as it provides more feedback than TexView) showed that the texture was in AI88 format and not DXT1, as it should. Why this was the case, I don't know. The workaround Seeing that nothing I was trying worked, and that the exported tga seemed to be the root of all the problems, I decided to export to jpg instead, and created the paa from version. This solved it. So, if you ever happen to be in this same situation, consider exporting as jpg instead of tga. No idea how to work around this when using textures with alpha channels, though. Not sure the jpg can preserve the alpha information. The same units with fixed textures (they are properly hidden now): And here's a zip file with the faulty texture and both the bugged and fixed paas, just in case you're curious or come up with another workaround: https://www.mediafire.com/download/3sd6bm2z9klsvph/bugged_texture_example.zip

Same units, same time of day, same camera angle. Click to enlarge. Features Units, vehicles, objects, buildings, terrain, vegetation, etc should now react better and, to some extent, more realistically to lighting. Contrast in general should be enhanced, providing more depth and more vibrant colors to OFP/CWA while reducing the cartoony look (but, remember, this still is OFP). The differences between the interior and exterior of buildings and vehicles should be more noticeable. Dust and smoke particles won't be visible during night time any more. No more seeing the shining trail of dust of a tank that you can't actually see. Lighting effects similar to vanilla sunset and sunrise should be present for longer hours. Vehicles should provide more realistic shining effects. Description This addon modifies the lighting and glossiness properties of the terrain, vegetation, buildings, infantry, vehicles and virtually anything available in vanilla OFP/CWA. All those vanilla textures have been distributed in several categories (classes) which use new custom material properties. Each material definition has its own distinctive properties, and include: Buildings Terrain Vegetation Water Glass Generic metal Metal of vehicles Interior of vehicles Metal of weapons Human skin Clothing Gear made of plastic and similar materials Particles Shining particles The default OFP materials are also overridden using values similar to the new material definitions, so you should be able to see the effects of these new material properties on any island that doesn't use custom textures. Also included is a pbo which adds material properties to a lot of user made units and objects. While it doesn't cover them all (that's an almost impossible task) it should cover some of the more popular ones, including AGS buildings, BAS vehicles and some islands. This pbo also incorporates the texture listings for user made addons found in Locke's Original OBJ Material Def addon, although the textures themselves have been reorganized so they use the new material properties. Same units, same time of day, same camera angle. Click to enlarge.

It won't break any current mission or campaign. You can also place the pbos in any other addon folder. Load order doesn’t matter. High contrast or low contrast? There's two versions of the ofp_matdef_core.pbo file you can use: high and low contrast. Each one has its own benefits and drawbacks, so it's up to you which one to use. Note that the default one is the high contrast version, but only because it showcases better what this addon is all about. Use high contrast if... You want more dramatic lighting (and more realistic and better IMO) applied to everything You are not planning on creating or playing missions that use dynamic spawning You are not using user made addons which don't have the new custom material definitions You want to create good looking videos or screenshots Use low contrast if... You are planning on creating or playing missions that use dynamic spawning You are using user made addons which don't have the new custom material definitions You don't mind losing enhanced lighting for units, buildings and other structures (terrain, vegetation, water and glass will still have the enhanced lighting). Basically, the low contrast version is the most compatible all around, but it loses some lighting effects. The high contrast is the one that provides more eye-candy, but it makes dynamically spawned and unsupported addon units, structures and weapons look flat and ugly. Changing contrast settings OFP materials uses by default the high contrast version. If you want to use the low contrast version instead, simply copy the ofp_matdef_core.pbo file found in the low contrast folder and paste it inside the addons one, overwriting the existing version. To change it back to high contrast then follow the same steps, but copy the pbo found in the high contrast folder instead. You can also edit the provided Config.cpp (found in _pbo\ofp_matdef_core) and comment and uncomment the #include line of the contrast file you want, and then compile the pbo.

Known issues OFP is unable to apply materials to dynamically spawned units, objects and weapons. Anything that wasn't present at the start of a mission won't use any material at all, and will look flat and way too bright compared to the rest. Note that all this only affects the High Contrast version. The Low Contrast is exempt from all this, as its goal is to allow spawned and unsupported units to blend better. Solutions Let me advance that there’s no real long term, no-hassle solution that I’m aware of. If you know of any, please, let me know. With that said, there’s ways to work around this, none of them optimal or practical. Place in the editor objects, units, etc of the same class you are planning to spawn dynamically This might work when you want to spawn one or two classes, but it’s a very bad solution for most cases, as it would require manually placing dozens of units and structures. You should also not remove them during the mission. For materials to be applied there must always be an unit of the same class already present in the editor. If you remove the units you manually placed, further spawned units will be material-less. Alt+Tab Yes, really. Alt+tabbing resets the rendering, so it reapplies materials to all present units, structures and weapons. If you are using Windowed Mode then you can minimize and maximize the OFP/CWA window for the same effect. Spawned unit while using High Contrast version. It looks flat and out of place. The same unit after Alt+Tabbing. Material limitations Just remind you that, as with anything related to materials, you can only see their effects if you have Hardware T&L (Hardware Transformation and Lighting) enabled in the Video Options menu. It should be enabled by default. If it’s disabled then you most likely are using a very old or weak graphics card that doesn’t support this feature. Also, roads and any other object with vertices placed On Surface won’t receive any material lighting effect. The same applies to non-binarized models. Changelog v1.1 CHANGE: Vegetation now less reactive to lighting CHANGE: Updated template config with more and more extended comments CHANGE: Added some missing classes to template config CHANGE: Moved WW4 and Mi2 textures from ww4ext_matdef to ofp_matdef_addons1 NEW: More addons supported by ofp_matdef_addons1, including MAP, BAS, AEF and OFPL objects and a bunch of Vietnam era addons - v1.0 * Initial release Credits Locke@Germany for inspiration and for the glass and metal texture lists of user made addons krzychuzokecia and Apocalypse83 for testing Permissions All my released work falls under the Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International license, unless specified otherwise.

BTW, the latest version was included in the Extended Effects mod/whatever. It was still tagged as "preview" because I was planning on creating another installer (and never actually worked on it). But that version is the final one. It fixes several texture assignments for vanilla OFP textures, removes the yellow tint (although you'll see yellow still because OFP's sun tints yellow everything most hours of the day) and adds support for a shitton of mods and addons, among other things. Here's the link: https://www.mediafire.com/file/7a3fv9hi157j2ap/OFP+Materials+v1.2+preview.zip (same link from the ExtFX thread).

You're probably doing it correctly already if you're seeing something where the numbers should be. The problem is OFP/CWA has seriour problems rendering those kind of textures on the fly. Or to be more precise, to render them as sharply as you would expect. The trick I had to use in order to display the numbres in ExtFX without blurriness was to include absolutely all the textures of the numbers inside the models of the vehicles that use it. Otherwise some people will experience what you have. And I say some people because, for some reason, it works OK for some (not for me, though). So, what can you do? Well, you could create a new object (in Oxygen) that only contains those numbers and manually place it somewhere on the map, so the numbers are loaded into memory from the start of the mission. That won't help with campaing misisons or the like, though. Or you could fiddle with texture sizes, decals, etc in the OFP options. That sometimes made it work for me, but not consistently. Anyway, it's been years since I've touched anything OFP related (nor plan to TBH), but I was browsing these forums and thought I'd chime in.

This is something I wanted to post several weeks (months?) ago, but never got to do. It's a series of scripts, single and packs, that some of you might find useful. Beware that some of them aren't properly tested or simply unfinished (meaning that they basically work, but might contain bugs as aren't properly tested or developed). I'll tag those as I list them (and as I remember). -- MAP AI RUCKSACK - WW4 v1.0 REQUIRES: MapFact's rucksacks - WW4 Gives rucksacks to WW4 units and allows them to use the ammo stored there when needed. Every time the unit runs out of ammo it'll check its rucksack. If compatible mags are found it'll proceed to use the rucksack the same way a player does (crouching, etc). If no magazines are found and the unit has a LMG it'll ask to his mates for ammo. If any other unit in his group has compatible ammo that will be auto-magically* transferred to the unit requesting it. Tents, etc aren't supported by this script. Only rifle, pistol, etc mags and grenades (hand, smoke, launcher). *This is done to prevent breaking missions, scripts, player orders, or simply to avoid AI units pingponging between locations. DOWNLOAD: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?jwdzaj12bpspvbt -- HEAL GROUP v1.0 This script pack will automate the healing process of a whole group, as long as there's a medic in their group. It is initiated by selecting the corresponding option in the player's action menu.

If no magazines are found and the unit has a LMG, MG or some type of rocket launcher it'll ask to his mates for ammo. If any other unit in his group has compatible ammo that will be auto-magically* transferred to the unit requesting it. Bandages and other items aren't handled by this system.

Hi all, I've been given approval by Drongo69/TacRod to publish a fixed version of his CCE2 beta 7 template. ABOUT COIN COOP ENGINE 2 Your goal is to succeed in the COIN operation by hindering all resistance activity in the area. To do so, you will be assigned a range of missions. The countryside is crawling with resistance squads and camps. As you complete missions and kill enemies, you may requisition additional vehicles and troops. ABOUT THE DIFFERENT VERSIONS In this thread you'll find two iterations of the original CCE2 created by Drongo69. The first one is beta 7.1.x, which doesn't change anything from the original CCE2 releases and is only focused on fixing bugs. The second one is beta 7.2 onwards, which uses the fixes from beta 7.1 and expands CCE2 with new features and gameplay changes. So, it's up to you to decide which version to use. If you want oldschool CCE2 then pick 7.1. If you want more stuff pick 7.2. You can find more info about CCE2 in the threads of old CCE versions by Drongo69, such as this: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?98846-CCE2-for-Operation-Enduring-Freedom -- CCE2 BETA 7.1.1 REQUIRED ADDONS - CoC Unified Artillery (if you use CWA you'll also need to apply this fix) This update includes the following fixes: beta 7.1.1 - Enemy unit won't be seen mounted in crashed chopper anymore (in CCE\Mission\RecoverIntel.sqs) - Convoy groups will enter ActionLoop if the vehicle is destroyed OR can't move (in CCE\Mission\ManageConvoy.sqs) beta 7.1 - Added check to control amount of CAP groups spawned, so it doesn't spawn so many that there's no room for mission groups or custom enemy units. (in mission editor, CCE\Misc\sideCount.sqf, CCE\StartCCE2.sqs, CCE\CAP\SpawnSquad.sqs and CCE\CAP\SpawnVehicles.sqs) - Enemy groups spawned in missions should be removed properly now once a new mission is requested (in CCE\Misc\CleanUp.sqs) - Fixed destroyed vehicle counter (in CCE\Units\KilledEnemyConvoyVehicle.sqs) - Fixed serveral problems in CAP\spawnsquad.sqs and CAP\spawnsquad2.sqs - Fixed "simultaneous mission" bug which was causing the spawn of tons of enemy mission groups and targets in the same one mission (in CCE\Mission\requestMission.sqs) - Fixed mission target counter displaying wrong count after aborting a mission (in Mission\MissionMonitorGroup.sqs) - Convoy destination marker now isn't visible once the Convoy mission ends or is aborted (in Mission\MissionOver.sqs) - Rescue mission should be aborted properly now, deleting the unit to be rescued (in Mission\rescue.sqs, Mission\rescueAI.sqs and Mission\MissionOver.sqs) - Fixed being able to abort missions when there weren't any, which caused the next requested mission to auto-abort on start (in CCE\Client\AbortMission.sqs) - Added check to spawning scripts, so they stop running if the leader is dead while the script is still forming the squad. (in CCE\CAP\SpawnSquad2.sqs and CCE\CAP\SpawnVehicles2.sqs) - Fixed counter of enemy units killed in the Search and Destroy mission. Previously the mission needed 1 more kill than it was asking for (in CCE\Mission\SnD.sqs) - Fixed artillery units being added to global array without checking if they were already in the artillery vehicles. (in CCE\Add\artillery.sqs) - Chance of enemy groups spawning over water greatly reduced (in CCE\Misc\overwater.sqf, CCE\StartCCE2.sqs, CCE\CAP\StartPatrol.sqs, CCE\Mission\MissionLocation.sqs and CCE\Mission\ConvoyDestination.sqs) - Added missing CoC markers (in mission editor) - Cost of CAS and Airstrikes is now displayed when requesting them (in CCE\Support\StartCAS.sqs and CCE\Support\StartAirstrike.sqs) - Blowing up the chopper after recovering the intel won't tag you as "enemy" and be killed by your teammates anymore (in CCE\Mission\RecoverIntel.sqs) - Fixed weather not following the values set in DefineMission.sqs (in CCE\Server\Weather.sqs and CCE\Client\Weather.sqs) I think those are all the bugs in the beta 7 version that needed fixing. Note that I mean fixing bugs (broken stuff), not gameplay issues (like mission X being too hard or whatever). For the latter, read below. To apply the fixes over your mission just copy/paste the CCE directory over your that of your mission (make a backup first, just in case), then tweak DefineMission.sqs and DefineUnits.sqs accordingly (or copy the content of the CCE dir but those two files to avoid having to re-tweak). Then copy the trigger in the middle of the map in the mission editor to your mission or create a new one yourself with the settings: Axis a and Axis b about 8000 both (adjust depending on the size of your island, but it has to cover every single unit), Activation: anybody, Once (so, no repeat), Condition: CCE_Ready, On Activation: CCE_All = thislist DOWNLOAD CCE2 beta 7.1.1 Template: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?zzs9vwrp73huuyg -- CCE2 BETA 7.2.3 This version of CCE2 expands on the original, fixing bugs and adding new features and gameplay changes. REQUIRED ADDONS - CoC Unified Artillery (if you use CWA you'll also need to apply this fix) These below aren't actually needed, but heavily recommended: - SNYSptPack.pbo (from SP/MP support pack) - for the rope and rappel anims - DrongosToolkitVoices.pbo (a modified version from Drongo's Toolkit), ECP_DSAI.pbo and ECP_DSAI_2.pbo (from ECP and its patch) - to activate DSAI - BN_tracer.pbo (BN880 version) - to see the tracers OTHER - FWATCH - to be able to show the personal menu with a key press - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED NEW FEATURES - New mission: Liberate Hostage - Helicopter insertions and extractions: The insertion types available are normal (by landing), fast rope, paradrop and HALO - Informer: There's a local informer in the camp that might know the approximate location of active camps, for a price. (additions in CCE\Informant, CCE\CAP\CampBossAI.sqs, CCE\Client\Start.sqs) - Equipment automatically assigned to players on (re)spawn (starting gear can be edited at CCE\respawnGear.sqs) - Disband: You can disband any of your units. When doing so, those units will be able to be recruited by any player. They'll be removed after a few minutes (in CCE\disband) - Reorder Unit(s): You can now send any unit or units to the end of your group formation. This way you can now, for instance, easily sort the big gaps in formations when units die or by having vehicles in the middle or the start of your group. (in CCE\reorder) - Reinforce: You can access the Reinforce menu from anywhere - Request Airdrop (CWA ONLY): Players can request vehicles and ammo crates to be airdropped to a specific location, for an increased fee. Only works for CWA. It's automatically deactivated for OFP servers. - Rearm: Players can now rearm the whole squad with their standard equipment. They'll keep radios and NV goggles given by the player, though. - civPopulate is now integrated into CCE2, in a modified version that works in MP. This allows to populate all the towns (and any other desired area) with civs, while actually using just a handful of civ units. It also features traffic, but only while playing in SP. For the full changelog refer to the readme in the /docs directory. BETA 7.2.3 MISSIONS WW4 Lead a Special Forces squad in your mission to hinder resistance activity in southern Everon. REQUIRED ADDONS - WW4 v2.5 For the rest of addons needed refer to the ones listed in the beta 7.2.3 template FEATURES PARTICULAR TO THIS MISSION - Modular Weapon System (MWS): You'll be able to apply different modules to your weapon on the fly.

1. Now I understand what you meant. Yes, you're right, modelOptics was using the unsuppressed MP5 muzzle. I'll fix this in a next release, but meanwhile you can make the change yourself by changing the #define HK_SMG to this: #define HK_SMG model="\ww4_wpn\WW4_MP5SD.p3d"; modelOptics="optika_HK"; reloadMagazineSound[]={"\ww4ext_sounds\rifle\M4Reload.wss",0.010316,1}; 2. True, but if we go this path we can find many other instances where model styles and quality won't match, particularly in vehicles. I'll see what we can do with this, though, although @krzychuzokecia is the one revamping most guns for next WW4Ext version (he also revamped the AKs). 3.1. The M2 sound I think came from the Stryker addon. Can't remember. It's one of the few sounds that haven't been redone. The rest were done by scratch by using YouTube videos as source (that and a lot of postediting). You can try the M82 sound instead, which is a tweaked version of the M2 one and sounds way more beefy. To do so change the #define M2_MAG to this: #define M2_MAG sound[]={"\ww4ext_sounds\sniper\m82barrett.wss",1.0,1}; soundContinuous=0; I personally find this one a little bit too much, but you might enjoy this more than the default one. 3.2 The XM sounds are the ones used in the next WW4Ext release for the M4s. I honestly haven't researched how an XM117 sounds, though. 4. Yes, that and almost all the vehicles have been revised. There were still some to be polished, but the majority are already. Also, information like the blackening of vehicles when destroyed, z levels of transparent textures, etc was lost or corrupted when converting the BIS models to MLOD through ODOL explorer. We were tweaking all that kind of stuff too.

I've updated the config in the shared folder in google drive. There's now two versions of the config file, one for version 5.1 and one for version 5.1.2. Use the one corresponding on the WGL version you have installed. I've also included a version with WGL settings with everything disabled but smoke, explosion and fire effects for destroyed vehicles. Regardless of your settings it's important that you disble the tracers, as they conflict with the new CWA "find" scripting command and might cause OFP/CWA to crash. You should be able to use the extfx 5.1 config with ShackTack's version, as long as they were using the vanilla 5.1 config.

The only thing the WW4_Extended_FX definitions file modifies are the models and sounds of the weapons. Ammo, RoF and all the rest of parameters aren't modified, so what you're seeing is vanilla behaviour. Maybe it's just the new sound for AK bursts, which is a bit faster than the original BIS one. The MP5 replacement uses vanilla WW4 version. I didn't edit this model, so what you see might also happen in WW4 or WW4 Ext. I guess the muzzle flash wasn't removed from the suppressed version of that SMG. I might add that. I thought about it, but never actually did it. While it'd be nice to have I'm still not too convinced. Yes, I guess you have a point here. We'll see. Actually, IIRC the sounds were pretty much set as final at that stage. The only one that really needed further tweaking was the SVD one, to remove the "Phil Collins synth drum effect" (as @krzychuzokecia aptly named it :p). So, feel free to list any sounds you think that are off or could be tweaked further. Anyway, I think I haven't commented this anywhere yet, but the sounds and models from WW4 Extended used in ExtFX are from the unpublished next WW4Ext release. So, any suggestion or bug report you have on this will be applied there, and then retrofitted into this project. I'll look into it. By now you can already disable it by placing a game logic in the editor and naming it "WW4burnexplo" (without quotation marks). That's the name of the logic used by vanilla WW4 to enable burnt vehicle effects, and the ExtFX script will disable its own version if it finds that logic. But, as I've said, I'll add a new option to disable all this for good. Indeed it is amazing :) While there's other great mods WGL has always been for me the gold standard of modding in OFP/CWA. It was focused on multiplayer, so performance was a priority for their team, as you have noticed already. That, plus enhanced effects and some AI tweaks. Their team has always been an inspiration to me and what have pushed me to become better at scripting and config editing for my own projects. WGL is also the grandfather of the later Armas ACE, ACE2, which you probably know already. You actually can use them without problems (I just did). Make sure you also edited the @wgl5\bin\models_base.hpp file this way: //#define CUSTOM_MODELS #define DMA_ARMY_MODELS //#define DMA_NAVAL_MODELS //#define BWMOD_MODELS //#define SFP_MODELS //#define RYAN_MODELS //#define BIS_MODELS //#define WGL5_MODELS You also need to load the dma addons along the wgl and extfx mods using a line like this: @extfx;@wgl5;@WGL_DMApackARMY; For more download links and info you should check out the WGL5 moddb page that @barccy set up there. Ok, I'll check it out. That's not a big problem, but it adds to the time and difficulty of recreating that gun, yes.

Sure thing. This weekend I was planning on explaining in more detail how to integrate ExtFX with other mods that provide their own config, anyway. I've created a new folder with custom CONFIG.bin files for other mods: You can get them here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0By2CaodBQ84GaDNQaGdpSjdpWU0?usp=sharing So far only WGL and GRAA are included. I've also included readmes to let all of you know what was changed in order to integrate both mods, along with the suggested mod order (which is, @extfx always before the mod you want to load). For mods or addon packs that don't provide a custom config.bin you can just load @extfx AFTER the mod/addon. Basically, when integrating this with one of those mods you want to load first the definitions.hpp file (and place it in the mod's /bin folder first) and then add the EH define to the Man, LandVehicle, Air and Ship classes. You should also add PRELOADBANKS_CUSTOM to PreloadBanks and PRELOADADDONS_CUSTOM to PreloadAddons, to make sure the tracers pbo is correctly loaded when the game starts. As for the performance you perceive from GRAA's, I just don't see it. "Heavy" missions like BIS Battlefields perform exactly the same as with the Vanilla_ExtFX definition. Maybe slightly worse. But, hey, whatever works for you. And about the ENABLE_BURNING_VEH feature, that's already included in ExtFX. It actually uses an expanded version of Sanctuary's script (the same used in GRAA). The only difference is that burning times and probabilities are tied to the type of vehicle, its current ammo, etc. Bikes won't explode in a ball of fire, etc. ExtFX version is more tamed in general and a bit more realistic, if you like. You can enable or disable the rest of features (ENABLE_FREEAIM, ENABLE_DESTR_VEH), as those aren't modified by ExtFX and never will.

1- That's not possible 2- Make sure you comment the normal english and russian language definitions and comment out the ECP ones. It should look more or less like this: // Release version //+ (call preprocessfile "..\@extfx\EXT_DSAI_lang\english.sqf") //+ (call preprocessfile "..\@extfx\EXT_DSAI_lang\russian.sqf") + (call preprocessfile "..\@extfx\EXT_DSAI_lang\arabic.sqf") // Release version (ECP) ** Requires ECP_DSAI.pbo ** + (call preprocessfile "..\@extfx\EXT_DSAI_lang\english_ECP.sqf") + (call preprocessfile "..\@extfx\EXT_DSAI_lang\russian_ECP.sqf") Anyway, if you say you have trouble keeping up with performance the last thing you want to do is to throw yet even more stuff in your missions or tests. ECP DSAI support was provided just because I knew someone would ask for it, but it's not really needed. ExtFX DSAI has hundreds of voices already, all from the Arma series, unlike the rest that are ripped from Call of Duty or Battlefield or whatever (the exception is the included arabic voices, which are from those other games too, it seems, but I'm thinking on providing it separately in a next release instead of built-in in the ExtFX package).

Sure thing. I'll have that in mind for the next release. To be clear, you do mean adding extra buttons (12) to the menu, one for each unit, correct?

I've added a download link to an xlsx version of the calculator.
