I can give a hand here I think. I did the grey and green textures for jns_skycranes - though they were only basic retextures I know the gist of the process and I've got a bit more experience all around since then

so there's an apex sneak preview build available on steam rn (under the betas bit). tissues are ready

I know it's already been said not to expect more in the way of interiors but it's a really noticeable downgrade from altis. It would be great to have a few enterable floors on the skyscrapers and a staircase to the roof so they feel more part of the world than pretty props. Considering that those buildings stand out quite a bit and are very uncommon (one is unique as far as I can tell). Wouldn't need much beyond a lobby, an unused office floor and a maintenance level for it to feel real without decoration. I know my expectations have obviously been raised massively due to altis (even though I'm still hoping for more opened large buildings) but considering how important structures are in warfare it's a bit irritating. Would probably be okay with it if there were a few ghost hotel style unique buildings

yup, you've currently got it marked as "crew = "B_Crew_F";" under your blufor version classes so you can just switch that to B_Soldier_F/B_Soldier_lite_F or whatever and it should work proper fine like. Same with the UN ones. just obviously switch B for I

Hi cleggy, I'm not sure if this is intended or not, but the guardian seems to explode on any direct hit to the front, despite being able to take hits to the side relatively ok. It's like there's no protection to the front of the vehicle? EDIT: talking about rpg hits here

bit of a necro-post, but i'm unable to get the black texture working on the the GL variant. I've checked the config and it seems fine, the weapon appears in arsenal etc but without the black texture. It's probably something to do with an arma update changing the GL TRG's camo selection but it's seriously confusing as your Mk20 mod works perfectly and seems to be the exact same config (except for the obvious difference and the extra classnames you defined). Ta for the nice simple mod though, my group are using this + the Mk20 for backup weapons in case an update breaks all of the things

Hi Senseii, I'm wondering exactly how the unit pool works and what it's limitations are. For instance, if I place an AT and a Rifleman, do each of them have an equal chance to spawn (and if i instead put down like rifleman, rifleman, rifleman, AT. i would then have 75% riflemen and 25% AT?) Also, is there a way of allowing selection of factions. in my case allowing use of arid camouflaged enemies on takistan, and lush camo enemies on chernarus, or it randomly choosing one faction out of multiple choices (so i don't have CSAT intermixed with Russian troops etc). Thanks for your help and your awesome mission!

I'm not sure if there's an issue on my end (i'm pretty sure there isn't, verified my game etc). But when trying out the new release (3.1.1) with the latest stable CBA build, i noticed i couldn't access a portion of the new equipment (though some are easily accessible). the tactical ladders are the major one i can't find, though i've seen videos from others using the same build where they're in the Misc Items box. The other bit i can't find is the HuntIR grenades, which is in none of the available boxes (Ammo, Med-Basic, Med-Advanced or Misc), though I can get the HuntIR monitor out of the misc items box. A majority of the new items are there (MX-2A, sandbags etc etc) and i haven't made a complete check for the spotting scope for instance (it's not in the ammo boxes placeable in editor, but i'm unsure if it's maybe in Static). the PBOs for all these items are present in my install folder but they don't show up in game. is this intentional + is there a way to get them showing up without editing things?

Thanks for the quick response. The object switching method is a fair compromise especially as none of the weapons are supported. good to note though that the placing of weapons that are available works perfectly and allows for some really precise placement. I look forward to that possible update though!

Hey Silola, It seems that although I am able to load up the 'Weapons (Secondary)' and 'Weapon Accessories' categories, both 'Weapons (Primary)' and 'Weapons (Launchers)' are missing - like it's invisible to XCAM. Is this intended? I did have a look through the thread but couldn't find anything. The two available categories work fine and allow interaction when imported to a mission, but i'm currently replacing pistols with rifles when i get it in the mission editor. Thanks

and a motorbike....

I think this means that the paths to BIS functions can't be overwritten so someone could change the path and have a seperate function pretending to be a BIS one.

so you're saying that these features are not getting put in because it might damage sales for a separate product sold by a different company to a different market? interesting theory

omg please? Seriously, a map like that would be amazing. lots of ravines and all that lovely stuff. i don't even care if the rivers don't flow.

Hi, it seems that when you switch to spectator on death, you can still talk to your old team in side/group etc. is this intentional? you also can't hear alive people talk using TFAR when dead (when close enough).

quick check, if i have duala 3.1 now it'll be fine right? (J. Takel USEC)

This sounds awesome. I'm one of the welsh morons from last week, but i have no friends so it'd be cool if you could force people to play with me!! jk, i have friends, but they're all busy, so random teammates would be sick

In regards to the offroad, the hard limit on where you can aim is made even worse when the door for the bed isn't there on some of the randomised bits of the offroad. it would be cool if you could aim past that point as you can't fire through the door when it's there anyway, but when the door isn't there then it works out also, a variation of the stance adjust would be nice. i.e. you can duck down within the bed for cover, rise up a little higher high enough to shoot down the side of the car/so that you can shoot the tires of cars right next to you etc. also towards the front side of the bed, an extra one higher so they can fire forward. (because of course). It would also be cool if the guys on the back could lean out to fire forward too, but that's probably overdoing it

Was pretty damn fun! Cymru am byth!

see, i look at those screenies and i just think that inland water would completely change altis for the better. those locations would look amazing with river/pond water

So because the ramp on the chinook is down, and there is now some cargo-style functionality. might this imply we can load say quads or (dare i say it) RHIBs or SDVs in it? because seriously, the partial flooding the chinook can do is so damn cool

Just speculation, but wasn't BI saying before that the vehicle models stayed closed because the collisions were funny (i.e. couldn't get nades in when the doors were open) I'm assuming that this was just because it looks good, but the tiny optimist in me would like to believe that they're subtly teasing that they've fixed that (though i highly doubt it)

teaser from the stream today looked like a tandem rotor NATO heli , with the stealth fittings similar to the wipeout and ghosthawk. looked pretty cool. Possibly a chinook variant, but could be wrong (could be similar to a sea knight for instance) Only saw it from the back and in fuzzy detail. they teased they might release source pic on FB or twitter or something Edit - posted on FB just now: https://scontent-a-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/l/t31.0-8/1276926_774685212578211_2483329397450782176_o.jpg (240 kB)

Threadbump, i know. But i'm getting an error when loading the packed addon that says Here is my code for the composition (literally just the trawler and buoy that doesn't appear normally in the zeus menu) { class MY_CUSTOM_ZEUS_COMPOSITIONS { units[] = {}; weapons[] = {}; requiredVersion = 0.1; requiredAddons[] = {"A3_Modules_F", "A3_Modules_F_Curator"}; }; }; class CfgGroups { class Empty { side = 8; name = "Compositions"; class by_Takelmeifter { name = "by Takelmeifter"; class Special_Objects { name = "Sea"; class TRAWLER_AND_BUOY { name = "TRAWLER_AND_BUOY"; class Object1 {side=8;vehicle="C_Boat_Civil_04_F";rank="";position[]={-13.5313,-2.50977,6.57163};dir=355.473;}; class Object2 {side=8;vehicle="Land_BuoyBig_F";rank="";position[]={-4.12891,22.998,0.752317};dir=0.0251861;}; }; }; }; }; }; I'm a nub with this stuff so help would be awesome, thanks.
