eggbeast 3684 Posted July 31, 2014 thanks for the mirrors guys. there's a lot of stuff/ features in this work that will need explaining, so i'll try to produce a better format guide or something in the next weeks. this is very much the first stab at a release version, with more sub-projects already near completion - traps - better A2 rifle zeroing - all planes rearm for different roles in a module and not in the mission script a few ideas/ tiips of things to try: - use Heinbloeds right click system to manage an apache, viper, hind, hokum or lynx gunnery. toggle strobes in this role and your friendly units flash in thermal camera. - in all vehicles (land and air) toggle the countermeasures (visible in top left of screen) in commander seat and you get flare/chaff (in aircraft) then smoke and illumination flares. - check out the amazing array of realistic grenades - be sure to stand in cover when using them - try the rearmed russian aircraft - they're really cool - try the clustermines and napalm, also very cool (though not if one hits you) - take a scorpion or chieftain out for some target practice and experiment with the different ammo available - canister, WP, lumes, APDS, HE, HESH, etc - take an OT34, TO-55 or an AAV7-FT out and fry some bad guys with the flamethrower - take an mp5sd6 and m9sd at night and behold the magic laser! and the actually usable bullet damage... - practice locking your own laser in a hokum to simulate SACLOS weaponry. same for apache, lynx, hind, anything with a TOW or LAHAT or russian ATGM. - remember all of the vehicles now have ammo in their cargoes - no more need for every player to carry a SMAW and a DMR lol. - take an m240 MG or a sniper m107 with plenty of HE and AP ammo and go suppress a hostile town... or shoot down a helicopter, or blow up a convoy... - take the bridgelayers out for a spin near a river... use the ARRV to roll a tank upright - enjoy! ---------- Post added at 09:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:42 AM ---------- here are some pics of the work in practice: harrier AGM http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t247/eggbeast/crv7-1_zpsc752e0c5.jpg (477 kB) frogfoot AGM FA18 (separate mod) dropping our napalm playing with the flashlights (nam mod, same kit) deploying lumes (nam mod same kit) examples of shelldrop on planes and choppers (nam mod same kit) new 40mm grenades http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t247/eggbeast/m79_nades_zps96dcf295.jpg (496 kB) targeting laser on mp5sd new grenades Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

intermaus 10 Posted August 2, 2014 Okay, i installed the mod, but without 1.63 just to try it. Well, the flamethrower effects are great, as the new ammo effects too. I cannot see any T-72 variants that i place in the editor, only the T-72M4. Maybe its just because the lack of 1.63 ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eggbeast 3684 Posted August 2, 2014 (edited) no you don't really need 1.63, it's just that i've only tested it on the version of CBA that works with 1.63. hmm i wonder - do you have any popup errors about missing CA...blah? are you using steam? if so, then you may not be loading Arma 2 with OA properly. did you try the demo mission included in the missions folder? load that in the editor and you can run around a giant car park containing all vehicles and some ammo boxes with all the new kit in it T72's and T90 are listed in SIDE EMPTY: armoured (woodland) / or/ armoured (desert): "T72_INS" - this is an M model (export) "T72_Gue" - this is an M model (export) "T72_TK_EP1" - this is an M model (export) / desert "T72_CDF" - this is an M model (export) "T72_ACR" - this is a later M model (export 1990s) with NSV, thermal, increased armor and speed, and DU shells "T72_RU" - this is an A model (1979) with period APDS ammo and NSV, svir missiles "EB_T72B_RU" - this is a 1985 B model with better armour, kord and later DU ammo, laser rangefinder, svir missiles "T90" - this is a 1990 model with kord, thermal, laser rangefinder, increased armor and speed, DU shells, refleks missiles The main changes on these tanks are: proper working smokelaunchers NSV or dshk on export models, kord on russian - with proper russian 50cal HEI, HET and API cartridges proper russian tank weapon, ammo types and mag sizes proper NVG or thermal (simulated IR lamps etc) depending on model zeroing, rangefinding etc as appropriate the ZSU/T34/55 models from pookie have a range of turret and animation improvements too (shilka driver hatch works, camo applicator, destruction turret pops, up to 4 independent searchlights, different barrels, added dshk on loader turret, etc) but i'm working on porting them in from unsung. I'm hoping to reskin more desert versions - any former mod release authors who have already made any skins they would like to donate to this pack, please PM me - would be awesome to have them in here. e.g. STI A10, or russian desert vehicles...

intermaus 10 Posted August 2, 2014 (edited) Thanx egg, i will try it. Im not using steam, i installed, registered, but wont use that. ---------- Post added at 11:46 ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 ---------- Huh, im in trouble. I loaded the Rangemaster_v2 mission in the editor, there was a longer error popup, saying: "C:Users\bla\bla\bla\Item12.: Vehicle class BAFX_bulldog_D_RWS no longer exists". Then, i looked around me. There was NOTHING around me than 3xT-55s and 5xT-34s and a Bulldog, a Scimitar, a Spartan, then a Scorpion behind them. These were in front of the left hangar. :391: So i think i rather reinstall all my mods and addons... Edited August 2, 2014 by Intermaus My bad grammar.

eggbeast 3684 Posted August 2, 2014 (edited) when you say, "ALL your mods and addons", can you elaborate? when you say "nothing" - were the buildings present? which game version do you use? running A2/OA with mods is very tricky since the 1.63 patch, so its important to know what patch version you have running. are you running any other mods? it is VERY likely ACE will kill it if you are trying this mod perhaps try it with just CBA, BAFX and Rangemaster running (along with A2, OA and BAF, ACR and PMC DLC) ---------- Post added at 04:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:54 PM ---------- ok coming next: planes proxies are in progress: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?181411-FRL_Air-mod-WIP all missiles renamed to: AT: Javelin AT: AT4 AT: RPG7 AA: Strela for example, so they show up in the same place in the ammo crate All explosives, optics, items and grenades similarly grouped also magazines for launchers come under Missile: strela etc and rifle, pistol and GL ammo is listed as 10rnd, 30rnd etc, so all standardised. some zeroing to add to A2 rifles Edited August 2, 2014 by eggbeast Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
intermaus 10 Posted August 2, 2014 O.k. eggbeast, my version is ArmA 2 CO 1.63.112555 <--- main menu version number I did not patched the game on Steam to 1.63 The list of mods im using : -CBA_CO v1.0.1.196 -P85 -PRACS -Tk_extension -BAFX and Rangemaster -Beta expansion and nothing more. The buildings were there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eggbeast 3684 Posted August 2, 2014 ok take off p85 as that may be incompatible, i know pracs is ok in the editor do you see utes, takistan and bystrica maps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
intermaus 10 Posted August 2, 2014 Yes i see all those maps. Done, p85 is off, not working. If i place a russian T-72A or B or a T-90 in the editor with crew, ArmA2 crashes to desktop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eggbeast 3684 Posted August 2, 2014 mine works fine - just tested try playing without mods except cba, bafx and rangemaster check your mods are correct - if you use six updater it sometimes loads ACE without you clicking it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hcpookie 3770 Posted August 2, 2014 (edited) mine works fine. using this: "-mod=G:\steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 2;expansion;G:\steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead\ACR;@CBA_CO;@duala;@PRACS;@aircraft;@BAFX;@wep;@blazes_weapons;@Rangemaster;@CMSound_2.0;@CMSound_TakistanEnvironment;@RUG_DSAI;@BP_bloodscreen" Edited August 3, 2014 by hcpookie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eggbeast 3684 Posted August 3, 2014 lol not with that space in bloodscreen it wont pook, but you have it right - we have the mod running on our server with a ton of mods and no probs - 10 players on there quite often kicking ass. T90's and T72s attacking us fine. the demo mission is useful to see if you have probs separate from any server/ mission issues. just try and get that to work. i wonder, dyou use nopatching option in start line? cos that might break it.

hcpookie 3770 Posted August 3, 2014 huh I don't know why it is doing that. just retyped "bloodscreen" and it still shows the space. HRM. OK redid it as "code" and it removed the space. strange Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bullet purveyor 85 Posted August 3, 2014 I installed with pw6 and everything works smoothly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
intermaus 10 Posted August 3, 2014 So i downloaded, reinstalled the mod but not worked, i will reinstall ArmA 2 OA and all of my mods. My .RPT was totally full with several kinds of error reports so its clear for me that i have to reinstall all. Thanx for the help guys ! ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eggbeast 3684 Posted August 3, 2014 well if youre gonna reinstall, do it in steam, and patch 1.63 - its the future - you certainly cant play on our server without it, and our unsung mod server is 1.63 too... thanks BP for your post - are you enjoying it (the mod)?

bullet purveyor 85 Posted August 3, 2014 Had just time for a quick test in the editor, seems like a lot of quality content. Also looking very much forward to the Unsung release. Great work guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
