That's basically what I was suggesting for option 3.

I'd like to keep this thread focused on the purpose of the release I.e. to honour Bushlurker. I suppose I should have expected it to provoke some reaction related to the cancelled mod, but this wasn't intended to be an opportunity to discuss it. But on that note, the second option could include simply making no reference to Tatooine. The terrain itself is just something Bushlurker came up with that he thought was appropriate for what we wanted. Also this won't be an official BHI release, it'll be a community collaboration, assuming I get some help that is.

Ok thread created. You can find it here:

Yeah I'm not against that at all. I'll set up a thread later today to discuss options and see if I can get some help to get it to a releasable state.

I've been away from ARMA and the forum for a while and only just learned of this tragic news. I got to know Bushlurker during development of the Imperial Assault mod. He made a Tatooine terrain for us which we never got round to releasing. A genuinely nice bloke, I enjoyed our long discussions. RIP buddy.

Gday folks, its been a while since I've posted here. I just created a new YouTube channel where I plan to post dev videos for all my projects. To kick things off I've posted a video of the KAR-18 in game. Make sure you watch to the end to see the plasma balls in action. It still needs a bit of work to get it to a releasable state but you can see here how we intend for it to work.

TEAM STATEMENT its come to our attention that a star wars mod has begun circulating online containing a large quantity stolen assets, not only from our cancelled imperial assault mod but from commercial titles such as star wars Battlefront. Firstly I'd like to make it clear we have not provided approval for our mod to be rereleased in any form. These actions have been undertaken without our consent. Likewise we do not condone the release of assets from commercial titles for which the author does not own or have the rights to release. We strongly believe such behaviour tarnishes the modding community and I hope you all join us in condemning this behaviour. We also personally request that you do not attempt to download this mod and do not share it. The BHI team

Haha awesome

The force is strong with this one ;)

I've added a new render to the imgur album. Made a few tweaks and added some emissive effect https://imgur.com/a/oq8GQ

Thanks man. Will probably do a few texture variants. I thought the black made it look too present day but I can keep it in there for sure :)

Cheers mate. Yeah defo will be interchangable, already got that setup. Haven't really thought about other guns but it's not out of the question with time.

Gday folks. Here's some new renders of the KAR-18 plasma rifle we'll be releasing soon for ARMA 3. Plus a playable skeleton. What, why? Find out soon :D https://imgur.com/a/oq8GQ

Valves liability is limited. Similar to how torrent providers enable sharing of TV shows and movies. Plus they never had an issue with our mod either. There was no misinterpretation, we specifically asked for approval to publish our mod and they made it clear they couldn't do this. On that note I want to make it clear I have not provided permission for anyone to distribute the cancelled mod. Anyone found sharing it will be reported accordingly. There is a possibility some of the assets from the mod will be re-released in some form. When, where and by who is TBA. If anyone with the appropriate skills and experience is interested in taking ownership of the mod then feel free to pm me.

Hi James, Our main focus is on an Unreal Engine project. We'll announce something about that when the time is right via our social channels. As for ARMA 3, we'll be releasing a few small mods as time permits. The first cab off the rank is a sci-fi inspired Plasma rifle based on an original concept. The textures need to be redone but here's a few WIP pictures:

Well done pal. Looks like your modelling skills are coming along in leaps and bounds. Looking forward to seeing this one progress.

@blacknite3d As I understand it theres a few WWII mods in flight. Others could point you in the right direction. In terms of our own ARMA modding we do have a little side project ill be posting about soon. I haven't touched ARMA modding for a while so I need to get up to speed with some of the changes that have been made :)

Hi sgtryan88, I thought I was clear on this on my post but in case I wasnt, we are solely focused on our external project at this time. I noted that Im not ruling out making another mod at some point down the line, I still love ARMA 3 :) There's no need to apologise but it is not the purpose of this thread to discuss the external project, I did say as much in my post (quote below). I also noted where we would provide updates for the project (which is not this thread :)):

Thanks Scorch, very nice of you to say that, really appreciate it. @zodd I advised of Disney's response already https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/187178-bhi-mods-discussion-thread/#entry2964053 On that note, everything that is to be said about the cancellation has been said, I see no value in going round and round on the topic. We are now keen to put all this behind us and focus on our next project. With respects to the new project, we do now have a fairly solid concept that we are in the throes of fine tuning. I can confirm it is not planned to be a mod for ARMA 3. I mentioned previously that we have been investigating Unreal Engine to make our own standalone game, this is the path we are currently pursuing, but there is still much to work through. I can also confirm the concept is SCI-FI based. I don't want to say too much more because its still early days for this project and things may change dramatically, and of course it wouldn't even be appropriate for us to discuss an external project here on the BI forum anyway. All going well we'll make an announcement in the next month or two on our social channels. Sorry if this disappoints those hoping for another ARMA mod. Its not to say I wont make another one at some point, and of course Ruppertle still has his other mods out there :)

Well you can but you have to be willing to accept the risks. And I think there is a common belief that the worst to be expected is a cease and desist which in the scheme of things isnt a big deal. Until recently I think that's probably been a fair assumption, but I sense a change coming. Certainly the CBS case against Axanar sets a new precedent that would be foolish to ignore. Anyway on that note we have received an expected response from LucasFilm. Key excerpts are below: Sorry folks :(

Yes we do understand that, we are not looking at that option with our eyes closed :). We have the skills and knowledge so there is no issue there. If we did go down that path it wouldnt be anything as complex as ARMA 3.

I've got nothing against any of those projects but that's not really what we are about or what we are looking for. Appreciate the suggestions though. Whatever we do it will be something fresh and different to whats available now. We may even go completely independent of ARMA altogether. We've been looking into Unreal Engine as a possible option. We'll let you know once we have something to share. you realize we cancelled the mod due to copyright concerns right? :)

That would be the default choice. A mod in the vein of Star wars. But we are exploring many different ideas right now

We will but truthfully I doubt Disney would come back and say ok. It would have implications for their IP.

There's no luck involved, the mod is no threat to Disney and we are not selling it. If you look around you'll find many many Star Wars mods and even people selling Star Wars models online. None of these have been given a C & D. Here's a few good examples: http://swbattlecry.com/- This ones actually a full game meant to be a successor to BF2. Of all of them you'd expect this one to get a C & D http://www.moddb.com/mods/first-strike http://www.moddb.com/mods/star-wars-gaw-mow
