OMG Yes!!!! Duala + A3 lighting/objects = Win.

Great news a fix has been found for the rocking! The 'OFP2 man skeleton' errors spamming the RPT are a little frustrating. Especially on a server with 70+ guys ;) I wonder if those could be fixed, apparently its an issue with virtually all A2 ports. Shame because on large servers the spam apparently does cause issues.

I wasn't aware of either of these issues. It definitely doesn't require anything from Craig's SP Pack though. Are you guys running any other mods with it? Craig's UK_Pack etc?. Strange, we actually use these uniforms (along with many other addons) in my community of 70-80 guys and we've had no issues with this mod. Plenty with other mods and Arma 3 in general though. Anyway I'll look into it, thanks for the heads up :) Btw, I'm assuming everyone connecting to the server has the mod? I thought that's how missions/servers worked? everyone playing a mission has to have certain mods which are in the mission? The missions we play on our server have a gear script which basically gives these uniforms amongst other things to the player connecting. We also have uniforms in crates as well. Don't really know much about LEA. I imagine this just doesn't work with it? Ah right, I was very unsure about the FST flash. I actually asked someone in my Arma group, it was him who gave me 216 Signals. I'll be sure to change that to the 7RHA flash. Think RA and RHA have the same flash actually. In regards to the next update, it will probably come in the next couple of days. I've finished 90% of the stuff I wanted to add.

First of all well done with the ramp. A couple of other chinook addons have ramps but you've got to step over them to get in etc, whereas yours you can just run in/out normally. It would seem however slightly pointless having the ramp because you can't sit down from inside, you've got to be outside the Chinook. Also when you get out, it spawns you outside rather than inside the Chinook. It would be cool if that worked :)

I hope this project isn't dead. Was quite looking forward to seeing Jackals and Landrovers that don't wobble around like jelly ;)

I'm actually planning on making some skins with face camouflage on.. but then I was looking for pictures and I couldn't see any of guys wearing MTP with face camo. They were all of guys in DPM. Is face camo still used with MTP?

Was having a look on google and seems the Marines sometimes wear different clothing to the British army. Seen a few pictures of guys wearing that green top instead of standard MTP ones. http://www.eliteukforces.info/images/weapons/lasm.jpg (105 kB) Is that something worth having? Also the old DPM top with desert trousers looked in fashion. Is that something that's still used or is it all replaced by MTP these days? http://www.eliteukforces.info/images/gallery/royal-marines/royal-marines-photo.jpg (115 kB) Also found these black outfits used when boarding ships etc. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rFQZ4JHiuFM/T3vKBdB8JSI/AAAAAAAAZjM/R7hZcW7CsA0/s1600/fleet-protection-group-2.jpg

Been mega busy recently so haven't had time to get much done. I've been working on the Winter uniforms and gear which a few people have shown an interest in and that should be released pretty soon. At the moment there's quite a bit of stuff I'm using from Craig's SP Pack for this but I'm going to ask if I can chuck it in this pbo to save ball ache. He was wonderful last time I asked to use some of his stuff. Royal Marines with MTP tops and white bottoms (WIP) http://i1166.photobucket.com/albums/q615/babyhitman2/arma32014-06-1801-02-06-94.png http://i1166.photobucket.com/albums/q615/babyhitman2/arma32014-06-1800-25-24-00.png I don't think these are particularly accurate but they don't look too far off the real deal. Main thing that annoys me is the gloves with the fingertips cut off. Think that's asking for hypothermia in -30C temperatures but it's the best I can do with the BI models ;) Also the white trousers shouldn't really have pockets. I have no idea where that chest rig came from actually, might be in SP pack or the default game. In a perfect world someone would've already released a Viking/Warthog and some skis! Haven't started on the ones in all white yet but that shouldn't take long. Difficult thing will be deciding what to do once everything's finished. I'll probably chuck all the winter stuff in a separate pbo and then this will become a generic BAF clothes mod. There's quite a few things I'll be working on in regards to winter stuff. The chest rig needs painting in MTP camo, there's a couple of hats I'll probably do http://img.thesun.co.uk/aidemitlum/archive/01688/ice_breaking_drill_1688770a.jpg and I might even create a version of Kiory's L85 with the plastic painted white. http://www.warrelics.eu/forum/attachments/ballistic-composite-helmets/381325d1344523756-not-so-common-british-mk6-camo-rmc-norway.jpg < something like that. I was also thinking of creating some generic IRA style outfits as well i.e. Jeans and DPM coat etc. Might even make some of the famous SAS Counter Revolutionary Warfare outfits too. Of course I'll be adding all the DZ flashes people have been asking for on the MTP outfits too :) btw, any help with any of this stuff is much appreciated.

I press and hold the '~' key but my person just salutes? Am I doing something wrong? ;)

Switch what exactly? ;)

I've been getting that robotic/crackly voice thing when I load ingame with my TFAR plugin enabled. Any suggestions?

I'm struggling a bit with the arctic uniforms.. not so much texturing them, or finding references but rather finding a good model to texture. All the BIS ones with gloves have the fingertips cut off and aren't buttoned up around the collar. I can't imagine anyone dressing like that in the -30 C temperatures. I've got my eye one some other units from FFAA which could suit the job but problem is they're really bulky so there's clipping problems all the body armour. I'm guessing you'd wear that underneath the coveralls in the Actic so I could probably increase the armour protection of the uniforms..

Royal Marines...how have I not made a version for them.. Yeah sure if you send that over I'll make sure it goes in 1.2 :) That reminds me, I have no problems with people opening up the uniforms and adding additional patches for their group/clan. I'd prefer any edits are kept within the clan/group though. Of course all the uniforms come in separate non-dependant folders so feel free to delete the uniforms you don't want to save file size. Eventually I'll have pretty much every unit in here. On the topic of Royal Marines..one thing I'm planning on adding is those white winter coveralls they use when training in Norway.

UPDATE British Army MTP Uniforms - version 1.1 About I originally created this addon for my Arma 3 community but after a couple of requests I decided I'd release it publicly once finished. The addon add's MTP uniforms similar to the standard issue uniforms of the British Army. Included is 5 variants, a uniforms with sleeves rolled up, uniforms with sleeves rolled down. Brown and Tan T-shirt's with MTP trousers and Medic Uniforms. (All versions (except the T-Shirts) are equipped with the standard issue Oakley gloves. There are 10 variations of each uniform. Included units are listed below with the intention of more elements being added in the future. Note: this addon doesn't include stuff like body armour and helmets. For this I highly recommend StalkerGB's British Infantry mod ( http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=22548 ).

(More will be added for version 1.2). DZ Flashes: -1Para -2Para -3Para -4Para -16 Air Assault Brigade HQ -16 Close Support Medical Regiment -D Sqn Household Cavalry Regiment -216 Parachute Signals Squadron -7 Royal Horse Artillery -No. 2 Squadron RAF Regiment (more to follow) Classnames Known issues: - Parachute wings badge mirrors itself on both arms on the uniforms with rolled up sleeves. - A couple of the 'units' don't spawn with the right clothes and one doesn't spawn at all, recommend simply adding uniforms to unit's/ammo-boxes already placed down. Future plans: Add more uniform types such as T-shirts, coats and versions without gloves etc. Also planning to add face camouflage, hats and even some rather patriotic tattoos. Credits & Thanks: - Craig (author of SP Pack) for allowing me to use some things from his UK Pack. - antoineflemming for allowing me to edit one of his camouflage textures. - 16AA community for extensive testing. - Bohemia Interactive for the wonderful game.

Update My PC hasn't been fixed yet so I've been working on the laptop when I've had some free time. Everything goes super slow on the laptop as well which doesn't help. Anyway got to the stage where I feel I've done enough improvements and additions to release an update. (my first ever!!! As I said before, I've completely removed the dependencies for SP Pack and I've also added some additional T-Shirt uniforms. Which you can see below: http://i1166.photobucket.com/albums/q615/babyhitman2/arma32014-05-2901-51-19-99.png Just have to tidy stuff up a little bit and I'll stick the update up here once ready :) Shouldn't be too long. As for the future, there's soooo much stuff I want to add. I have my eyes on some units made by another mod team which are very nice and would also give uniforms without gloves, rolled up sleeves and knee-pads. (Just about everything I'd like). I'll likely message them tomorrow sometime asking for permissions. I'm also planning on sticking the MTP camo on some more BIS models. And I'm even planning on doing some face camouflage. Beyond that the mod may even broaden out a bit and include other British military uniforms such as Arctic coveralls and if I get really ambitious the famous redcoats. That's all a long way off though.

Ahh I remember that game. But yeah, certainly is unfortunate :(

Update Last few days I've been busy removing the dependencies for the SP Pack as well as cleaning up the mod in general. My unit have found SP pack to be spamming RPT errors as well. I actually got to a stage where I completely removed the dependencies, added numerous other unit patches (including those requested above) and even managed to add some T shirts and coats to the mod. Unfortunately earlier today I shutdown my PC and it then decided it wasn't going to boot up windows so I've been unable to get onto my PC to do any more work on this. I've got a guy coming around to try fix it tomorrow and I've been assured the actual data on the harddrive is safe so worst case scenario I'll have to buy a new PC and transfer the data over, best case I'll be able to carry on working on that PC and the updated addon should be available in the next few days. Thanks for your patience and support :)

My problem's exactly what the title says. I've been getting pretty poor FPS in multiplayer and I'd love to boost it up an extra 10 frames or so. I'm kind of wondering is it a problem on my end or is it just the game? In single player even with loads of scripts and dozens of ai running around it's soo much better. I've noticed Altis is where the biggest problems occur. Stratis and the A3MP maps run a lot better. Anyway here's my specs: CPU - Intel i7 2600k turbo'd @3.8 GHz GPU - Nvidia GTX 780 RAM - 12 GB OS - Windows 7 Harddrive space - around 1TB In multiplayer, typically my FPS hovers around 25-35 when I'm standing on the airfield or in a field and there's no much going on but in a town with a bit of gunfire and that's gone right down to 10-20. Singeplayer I'm getting between 60-80 pretty much all the time. Perhaps 35-40 in an intense firefight with stuff blowing up. Personally I get frustrated with 15-20 FPS and it's just not enjoyable. Visually I have almost everything on ultra however view distance isn't very high (usually 500-1500). (I like what I can see looking nice and don't really care if that's only 1000 metres). In singpplayer I put it on like 3000 and of course get better FPS. The server I usually play I'm told is about as good as you can get. I think server FPS is always like 60 and the mission's are only up for 3 hours twice a week so it's no Altis life job where it slowly deteriorates to the point everyone has like 5 FPS. That said there are usually 60-80 guys on the server and we use a few mods. To be honest vanilla servers give me exactly the same problems if not worse so don't think the numbers or mods have much to do with it. Any help is always much appreciated :)

Your wish is my command. Well when I get home ;)

It uses the models from SP pack. At the moment I could've linked them to the BIS ones but Craig's importing quite a bit of stuff from A2 as well as making his own stuff etc which I'm planning on reskinning for this mod (basically gives me more content for future), so that's why SP pack is needed. I'm working on condensing the whole pack a bit. At the moment it's massively inefficient. There's currently a separate 2048/2048 texture for each variant when it's basically just a couple of decals on the arms that are different for each unit. I'm going to try and change that though. As for 23 Engineer's, that along with just about every other element will be included in the future version. I'm trying to make the addon more efficient before I do that though as under the current structure it would end up at like 1GB just from all the textures :) I'm actually planning on making this a kind of British Military clothing mod in general. I've got plans for Arctic coveralls, vests, berets, coats, , helmets, t-shirts and all sorts. If I can find a 3D modeller somewhere we may end up binning the SP pack all together and becoming standalone. Note to all: There's been a couple of requests for Royal Marine, Engineers, RAF Regiment versions of the uniforms etc. Until I sort out a more efficient addon containing all the variants I'm very happy to make any versions you request and post up a pbo here containing just the uniform you're asking for. (will be a kind of stop-gap so no need to post on armaholic etc).

Classnames in first post :)

Thanks Foxhound :)

Just put the weapon classnames in the init line and stop being lazy ;)

Wouldn't say this is your typical port. Trixie's made a knew scope reticule, there's 4 variants of the weapon with new attachments especially for the L129 (Arma 2 had 1 variant I believe), also new sounds etc. There's a really nice ironsight version too if you're hardcore enough. Not sure if Trixie's actually edited StalkerGB's A2 weapon model much but I know he's done a lot more than simply 'port' it :) I shouldn't really comment on release date for other people's stuff...but what Trixie sent me earlier after there'd been a few little fixes was pretty much spotless so it wouldn't surprise me if the initial release was imminent.
