So, the campaign is only for dev-branch, right? It's not for the Sneak Preview build, right?

Hey, I've been trying to see if it's possible to change the names of ranks and or if it's possible to create new ranks. I've found a class CfgRanks in the bin.pbo file, but changing that doesn't seem to do anything, and I saw no such reference in Arma 2 or Operation Arrowhead files. So, I'm curious, anyone know where the ranks are defined?

So I've turned over the project and all it's files to Nightmare515, so he'll be taking over the project and/or implementing this stuff into his own addon. I'm bowing out of the Arma 3 modding scene, and really Arma 3 in general. If I get back into it, I'll just make uniforms for use in MP.

AntoineFlemming's [WIP] ************************* Required Addons: Cunico's Hidden Identity Pack, Astast's Pakol Hat, AntoineFlemming's Mediterranean Operations ************************* Announcing the first Expansion Pack to my Mediterranean Operations addon/bundle, which features uniform, vest, and helmet reskins. Expansion Pack for an addon? Crazy, right? Well, that addon's growing too big, file size, so this will allow me to continue to make new stuff while keeping this package under 500MB (as the other one is close to that) and to shift the theme a little. Story (in no way based on the recent, official campaign episodes) Background: Following the Mediterranean flashpoint in the Aegean, which has sparked a global conflict between East and West, the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation sets its sights on the Green Sea Region, otherwise known as the Caspian Sea Region, a pivotal gateway into Europe. Amid growing instability in the Republic of Karzeghistan, NATO recognizes the SCO attempt to open up a third front in the war, and deploys forces to Takistan in a desperate bid to defend Europe from SCO invasion. *************************

Unfortunately, the project is on hold for now, for several reasons really. One of them is a waning interest in Arma 3. It's just not fun anymore to me. I really only mod for the game at this point. I'm thinking about turning the project over to someone else. Not sure yet. I'll probably cook up a release of what I've currently got. Few units, mainly uniforms, vests, headgear, pretty much what's been already shown through screenshots.

So was that voice over supposed to be Miller talking? Oh, and I want the aliens Reticulans back. That was a good April Fools.

For now, the black MX rifles. I'm not really bringing in custom equipment. And sorry this is taking so long with few WIP updates. I've been busy. Takistani National Police

Yes, I've seen the video on Youtube of it. It is indeed BI's Hunter ported to this SpinTires thing.

Taking more time with this pack. I've got all but Alpine complete. I'll work on that one next. @Lone.Wolf - I will be focusing primarily on the Takistani Armed Forces, including aircraft and armor. Might add a Russian jet reskin of the CSAT jet and a NATO A-10D.

WIP: New Takistani olive uniforms + lighter skin tone replacement for Middle Eastern faces (vanilla skin tone is too dark):

I have to second this. Don't start planning a new project. Just work on the units. Focus on BAF first. Get them done, then move on to CSAT SF (the new stuff). Get that finished, move on to "modifying the regular NATO". Focus on this project before moving on to another one. It's the best way to ensure that you get things done. Another thing. There will be much more interest in your mod as well if you're not just ripping off of names and units already used in my mod. Do some research into Chinese SF units, then come up with the best one for your mod, instead of just doing Chengdu because I did Chengdu. I'm flattered that you're inspired by my mod, but please, you'll have more interest in your mod, and other people will have more interest in your mod, if you're bringing something new to the table.

Well, either way, it doesn't look like Arma 3, so it's really a moot point.

Nice!

Well, if it is, it doesn't appear to be Arma 3 related.

Of course it doesn't mean only russians cheat. But in the world of cheats, hacks, piracy, whatever, from what I've seen, like you say, Russians don't take care about hiding that behavior.

Cunico would need to post up the identity name. You could use setIdentity or you could use: this addGoggle "goggleNameInTheseQuotes"; That should work. And, of course, you're never going to get it to work by trying to guess random classnames...

I don't think it's from any particular mod IIRC. I think it was an image on Armaholic where someone made a black version of the AAF uniform, then put on a diving vest, combat goggles, crew helmet, and backpack. There's not any new gear in that pic.

It was a russian server. That should have told you everything you needed to know.

AI behavior has little to do with the functionality of ordering AI to do something. What I've suspected, and I kinda get this vibe from the recent OPREP, is that the AI still is doing way too much. Like with selecting a certain weapon or item, such as binos. Why aren't the AI just taking out their binos? Why was that something that had issues? With stances, why should the AI need some complicated method of choosing a stance. If I order a stance, then they should just perform that action, and the accompanying animation should just come along with it. With AI movement, I've seen RTS games with better pathfinding. No one is saying that holistically, other games are better than Arma, it's just that for me, there are things that other games do better. About this "It will take time for A3 to reach A2 level", with this game being a sequel, ArmA 3 shouldn't have to reach A2's level. It should have started from A2's level. I'm not talking about the modding community. Not every release should be like Arma 2 v1.0.

Ok, first off, you found a model. Do you have permission to use this model?

Nope, not mine. I've seen the screenshot, though.

Unnecessary topic, we've had this discussion many times before as well as heard the heated opinions of many. There was no point to making this thread. All it will accomplish is being another closed thread because people got too heated and ended up throwing insults at one another.

I disagree. Maybe for large scale movement, pin point accuracy, coordination with other AI, but they don't act as human as AI in other games. In other games, AI will shoot from behind cover, avoid grenades and vehicles, etc. With improvements, AI in this game can truly be the best, but right now there are things keeping them from being so. And I too doubt that we will ever see any improvements to make them more human-like, and not just efficient robots, because right now that's what they are.
