A3 Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement (MTVR) Mod Release

Hello! I am very excited to announce the first release of the MTVR modification I have been working on for several months with many challenges, and is finally at a state in which I feel it is ready for release. This modification is not a straight port of the Arma 2 vehicles, I feel that would be a disservice to the awesome models which admittedly had limited features. I've added new variants, armed, armored and modified versions and none included are simple ports of the original vehicles.

Thank You!

Sweet sweet my friend. Good work! Thank you.

Nice. I'll try them out soon.

1 word, Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee (10 years later) eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

me likey oshkosh MTVRs

Niice, I was looking forward to this!

There are a few -not serious- bugs though:

1. AI crewed variants are placed under OPFOR -> NATO

2. When steering only the left hand turns with the wheel

3. Brake light texture should be a half circle and aligned with the lamps on the model (a comparison pic with the HEMTT: http://i.imgur.com/rTqAgyn.jpg)

4. Editor icon is wrong

5. I couldn't get into the passenger seat next to the driver (not sure if this is just me?)

Physx feels good and thanks for fixing the headlight issue I mentioned in the WIP thread!

Hey:

Thank you for these bugs. Why there are AI variants under OPFOR is beyond me, I've never noticed that lol. All the others are quick fixes. Finally.. I believe that the passenger seat is the final seat so I believe you need to populate every seat prior and then it will work. But I may need to change the proxy.

Cool!Good job.

Cool, Downloading now! :D

Awesome work !

If you can create a "cabin passenger" proxy it will be great because it is usefull when you are a team leader and don't want to drive the vehicule you are in but you want to see what's in front of your vehicule !

Thank you buddy !

Look forward to checking these out - thanks so much

Nice! Thank you! Will there be any other versions too and maybe a replacement file? :) :D

Nice to see somebody focusing on something a little-less mainstream.

Good job, can´t wait to use them in game..

Good job. This send HEMT to parking!!!! nice job

Love it.... Really great vehicles. Couple of things I noticed besides the opfor and no passenger in the cab thing. The passengers in rear are bullet proof and have no death anim. Also on the short bed version the last passenger's comes through the bed. Like half his leg and ass are sticking through. Other than that I love your work and cannot wait to see more!

These look awesome! Downloading!

Considering that you've not only ported but improved upon the MTVR, might I interest you in contributing to the Community Upgrade Project? Not least because for both assistance and sources for future updates you could draw on what's available from other contributors as well. :)

Oh.

my.

god.

You are amazing. These are amazing.

One issue and one request:

Issue - Engine sounds are very very quiet. Almost inaudible. Need to be tuned.

Request - Could you make it so these will withstand one shot from AT(engine/wheels destroyed)? I don't like that there's no middle ground in ArmA for getting hit by an AT round. Either everyone dies or everyone is fine. There's no procedural damage simulation such as the cab got hit but everyone in the back is fine, etc.

Regardless, you are a hero.

Chortes:

Yes, once I make this much more robust and less buggy I would love to.

MacScottie:

Hahaha, awesome response man. I'm actually doing some other super obscure vehicles I won't spoil ATM for reasons. Your issue is noted.. this along with many others are something I shall definitely fix. As for Damage.. eh it's hit or miss. I could make the wheels high resistant to bullets, I've already made the cab and Troop Comparment bulletproof but really I cannot do much else. Rockets, even on an up-armored MTVR will easily puncture, the APK really only protects against small arms. Now if this were a Buffalo MRAP w/ Slat Armor, then yeah there would need to be that for sure. As for procedural damage, you're spot on and it is a shame. I could either have it bloody invincible which would be silly or in it's current state which means if an RPG-7 clips the rear blackout marker light, then everyone dies.

I've updated the known bugs which once I get on tomorrow will most likely begin to be tackled.

As for those suggesting Tan.. I can do it but it won't be full tan. I have not seen any reference photos of a full tan APK on a vehicle, only a tan vehicle with OD APK components.

Cheers

Hello:

A quick update. Working to resolve the majority of the bugs, but I've got a question if anyone can help me. I cannot seem to resolve the easiest bug.. the manned versions are under "NATO" as "OPFOR" which makes no sense. No where in my Config does it specify the Side as EAST...

If anyone knows, hit me up here or PM.. Thanks

Shot in the dark but perhaps the base config you used for the MTVR was from an Opfor vehicle - Tempest, Kamaz?

Oh and on the first variant the APK is misplaced a little: http://i.imgur.com/QxTn3dk.jpg
