TrueMods

Update #3

For Truegameplay_Animation_TransitionSpeed + ACE users..

- Throwing a grenade while walking should not catapult you to your death ;)

BETA_v1 (Don't Mirror) http://dev-heaven.net/projects/rg-truemods/files

Update #2

For TrueUser_Fov + ACE users..

- CQB Sights for ACE weapons should have correct Fov now.

BETA_v2 (Don't Mirror) http://dev-heaven.net/projects/rg-truemods/files

TrueMods consists of two groups..

1. TrueUser - Personal client-side addons that are safe for MP.
   
2. TrueGameplay - Personal client-side addons that may be considered unsafe for MP. Idealy, this should be run by all players and server-side as well for fair MP since it alters gameplay (It can give the player both advantages and disadvantages depending on a persons opinion).
   

TrueMods is..

• Meant for A2:CO (A2+OA). If you don't own both, shame on you. ;)
  
• Compatible with ACE2 as I use that mod exclusively.
  
• Was designed using "Very Small" GUI size, so it is strongly recommended to use that setting, but might work fine with others.
  For the best CQB/MOUT experience, use..
  
  1. TrueUser_Fov
     
  2. TrueGameplay_Animation_MovementSpeed
     
  3. TrueGameplay_Animation_TransitionSpeed
     
  4. ShackTac Movement addons

Special thanks to..

BIS, Kju, & Dev-Heaven :)

Wow, I'm very impressed with the UI changes. Will definitely use these! :D

Nice release, this really adds a lot of atmosphere on top of the game itself.

Especially the skybox bluer and nomountain

Thanks for this, gonna check these out :)

Thanks RG, finally the transition speeds addressed in a uniform manner without having to install ACE.

Bravo!

The GUI shot ..... :239::dd:

I prefer very small GUI too, adds a crisp pro look to things, this just about tops it off, fantastic work.

Tried the movement addons, personally the speed of transitions and walking is a little like the animals speed and movement in arma2 :) not my cup of tea.

very needful and longwaiting job)

thanx alot)

Great job Rg, thanks so much for releasing these mods. The GUI improvements alone are worth the price of admission!

Was a bit :/ when I read this, then I installed it! Brilliant work, I can confirm it looks good on "SMALL" interface size, no more ugly boxes showing ammo etc.

Suggestions:

When you have a smoke grenade selected it would be cool if it said

SMOKE GRENADE

White

Smoke GRENADE

Red (In red text)

Smoke Grenade

Yellow (In Yellow Text)

You get the idea... not sure if it's possible though.

Nice job, i'm going to be using this with ACE also:yay:

TrueMods v11-25-10



Arma 2

Welcome back RG! I haven't seen you in a while. Unless I've missed you.

Thanks for doing an A2OA version! True FOV was always a favorite of mine in A1.

Nice job, thanks!

Thanks for this, really great work!

I like the new HUD, i also use the iconless actionmenu and the longer-swimming pbo. Very nice. :)

Could we have a small video showing the Fov changes and new zoom ?

TrueMods was already a must-have in ArmA1

THANK YOU :yay:

oh yes, that's what i was waiting for till ArmA2 came out.

BIG THX!

Rg, one thing I've noticed after playing with the mods for awhile is that truegameplay_animation_movementspeed causes units to do a strange "fast forward" shuffle walking, almost as though the time has been sped up. Is this intentional?

yeah the walking speed seems to be ramped up, which I like when I'm using sites while walking. I noticed the normal running speed seems slower, I don't supposed there's a way to change that is there

Walkspeed is faster and the animations are fine, as long as the unit doesn't have a pistol drawn, in which case they start supershuffling :)

Running is meant to be slower (more like jogging).

Wow, this mod is definitely a great gift for Thanksgiving day.

@Bigpickle

I know that ACE2 includes a few transition speed tweaks, but I remember it just being for a few weapon changes. TrueGameplay_Animation_TransitionSpeed is literally every transition that was immediately noticeable. I probably missed a few somewhere considering just how many there are, but I definitely tweaked most. If you find any annoyingly slow transitions that I may have missed, let me know.

@rexehuk

Good suggestion, but not possible. All different modes types are one class, so a color change for that would be for all.

@RoME

Maybe I'll make something quick or at least a picture, but it's much quicker and more telling for the user to test it out himself.

@tpw

There is only one speed value that both you and AI share. I've noticed in default A2 other units animations don't always look synced due to they're constant morphing between speed modes (definitely in MP aswell) and I don't know how the game operates in this area, but it's probably just a case of it being a little more noticeable from the actual value changes and/or from the changes to the users perception.

@Steakslim

Run speeds were slowed down and walk was sped up for many reasons. Check out the description in the first post if you haven't already, but I should expand on the ratio a bit more..

The 1:2:3 ratio for speeds is that (Walk -> Jog) is now the same speed difference as (Jog -> Sprint), so there is now 3 distinct speed modes equally apart from one another. Default A2 is a slow walk and a fast jog/run that is almost as fast as the sprint, making sprint a useless mode that barely increases your speed but instead increases your fatigue by an unproportional amount.

really nice , i really like it ! thanks :)

Ah I see. I guess I'll have a reason to finally bind my sprint key back into use (yes because of ACE i unbound sprint since it caused too great effect on stamina for very little gain in speed lol). BTW i'm really loving the walk speeds.
