View Full Version : 3rd Version-Skaven's Racs
http://pwp.netcabo.pt/filpedro/racsvr3_1.jpg
from the read me...
I present you my Racs Version 3, this version is intended to be a step forward in quality rather than just quantity, changes like all Lods modeled down, merged textures, new sounds (by RobertHammer and tpM), new recoils (by Twisted), better animations, better textures as well as many other things have been introduced, with time you will discover them all.
Some new weapons have also been introduced like the M16A1, XM177e1, M249, Galil AR (just to mention a few) and some have been removed from the previews pack because I feel they didn't match the quality I was expecting them to.
There is also the addition of an ammo box which contains all the weapons and magazines from this addon (some of the new weapons are only available inside the ammobox) and an extension of the High-Dispersion weapons/soldiers to the West side, which means all sides are now covered with 80% of the weapons represented.
List of changes:
New:
- All Lods modeled down.
- All weapons textures merged (1 texture = 1 weapon) in most of the cases, being only two weapons the exception with 2 textures each.
- Geometry added (weapons now make impact when hit by a bullet).
- 7 New weapons (2 of them only available inside the ammobox).
- Small groups added for better use of the F2 key inside the editor.
- Officer Model added.
- Ammobox added (I've used the original Racs's ammobox model to decrease the size of the addon).
- High Dispersion Weapons/Soldiers extended to the West side as well as an increase of the Racs and East weapons (MP5A5, G36c and AKS-74U).
- Captive soldier added to both West and East sides (soldier model used).
- Light MachiGunner class added for both Team 1 and 2.
Improved:
- Soldiers textures (added lots of detail like for example to the pockets and helmets).
- Weapons textures.
- Sounds (100% new by RobertHammer and tpM).
- Recoils (100% new by Twisted).
- Normal Mapping (100% new).
- Animations.
- General code of all the three config files.
- Iron Sights.
- Better and easier to understand Ska_Jam config file for people releasing side projects of this file.
Fixed:
- East RPG soldier had no ammo.
- G3A3 had the wrong name (G3A4).

First impression:
weapons look good, but as far as I can see they all have the same bug: the shadow of the weapon shows on the muzzle-flash. Shouldn't be too difficult to fix I think.
I like the M16A1. A good weapon and the sounds are great. I don't like the M16A1M203, but that's just because i'm a realism freak and not because it's low-quality http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/tounge2.gif
The sounds I have mixed feelings about them. The FAL sound is good, the M16 sound great, but the M14, G3, M60 and HK23 sounds I think the older ones were better. What strikes me is that the M16 sounds are much louder and heavier than the M14, G3 and FAL, while the last thee are much heavier weapons. But as you were saying you would release a different soundpack as well, I'll wait and see. And otherwize I'll just crack the pbo's open and take the V2 sounds an put them in the V3 pbo http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/tounge2.gif
Tracers are now for all weapons, even the walther. I don't really like this. Since there is currently not yet a code that allows you to fire a tracer every three or five rounds instead of every round I guess it's better to remove them completely for the rifles. And as far as I know there is no 9mm parabellum tracer round, so the walther shouldn't have tracers.
For the machineguns the tracers are still awesome and I love seeing rounds ricochet off the ground and off vehicles. Definetely the best tracers I've seen so far for ArmA.
Overall an awesome addon!!
I'm still waiting for the mirrors, normally it takes like 1 day to have them so for now it's the best I could do.
Sounds and tracers will change in tpM's JAM version which should be released today/tomorrow, this way you have an option to my taste http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/biggrin_o.gif Later you will probably have more http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/wink_o.gif

Have you played the campaign in full yet? You should have come across this there. Unless you like many other simply skipped the missions in which this was mentioned http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/wink_o.gif .
These new RACS are great , that recently released M60 goes with them well too. We just need a few more complimentary vehicles and units and we can have the RACS army in forest camo.
Well, I have played a bit of the campaign, although I mainly got the game for the Editor. Unless I'm mistaken, the RACS are the native soldiers of Sahrani? I may be talking bull, but I mean to remember fighting along side them at some point in mission two or so... I also mean to remember the game painting the RACS as largely inefficient on their own?

for the desert team I changed the officers weapon the Galil. The soldier, medic, miner ect have the G3. I added an other class of sniper called Marksman who carries the M14.
The the woodland team I did the same, but instead of the G3 I took the FAL obviously.
No matter how much I like the M16A1, I just love the heavy rifles G3/FAL/Galil http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/biggrin_o.gif Hope you don't mind. I also conferted the G3 wav file from Lee to ogg and it now replaced your G3 sound. And I took the M14, HK23 and m60 sounds of V2 and placed them in the V3 pbo. God I love the fact that one can create everything according to your own taste if have some limited knowledge of how things are done http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif
Soldiers indeed look better now. It's hard to see when you can't do a side by side comparison with the old version, but it looks better now. Good job!
Your rapping my addon you traitor http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/biggrin_o.gif
Now seriously, I left everything simple and clear for people to change as they feel like it (I even gave the texture files the names of the weapons) I've also added comments inside the config files to make it easier for people to understand and learn (for the ones that don't know how to do it).
Personally I think there is nothing like changing things our own way I do the same you do, don't worry http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/wink_o.gif
About the textures, the main differences are the helmets and the pockets, it's something that you don't notice right way but... it's a step towards the upper level http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/wink_o.gif

have you even seen the model that is used this addon? It´s a fictional design with the M203 directly attached to the triangular handguard of the M16A1.
This version does not excist for as far as I know. There is only a version more or less like it and that is the xm-148 used in the vietnam war and was only shortly used as an experimental weapon before it was further developed into the M203

Or was there a format update and I only see weird things in TexView and Gate Builder?
I've also noticed the name sufixes... Do these make any sense if we're not using the new tools? I mean, I thought these are only for converter, not ARMA engine.

It seems to me that Gate Builder doesn't like some texture formats and it makes that effect inside the program.

Skaven this pack is really good.
I played for hours with your weapons and it's a lot of fun.
There are only a few things that could be better/different imho.
1. The rounds on the ammobelt of M60 and M249 look a bit too big
2. The Scoped G3 is German and the non-scoped is Norse.
Could you make a German non-scoped, too?
3. The Norse G3 has a casing deflector on the right side. It's not a loading handle. You have put it in "Zasleh" it seems to me.
4. Remove the Stock of the Ingram.
5. Use Animations instead of "Zasleh" selection as in Solus' XMS (http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard311/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=70;t=62253;st=0).
6. Make the FAL sights more detailed.
7. Make the Revolvers Cylinder rotate
I hope you have the time to do that.
Version 4 will take some months to be released since I have a project in the middle but I won't forget all your nice suggestions and help.

Ty all, I needed some Sniper Riffles to play MP with tpM so I imported this ones, I will release them later.
In the mean time I've started working on the side project I've mentioned some time ago (later I will give you guys details about it). http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/wink_o.gif
tell us now bro and what do you plan to do when you get the ARMA tools if they get released ? tell us man and we can give you ideas
i got lots of ideas any things possible when we have the correct tools
i was thinking of making a missing buildings mod there are no supermarkets and no high rises in shrani and there are on proper banks
just think of having a fire fight in wall mart against the bad guys http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/biggrin_o.gif
With the tools available we can do as much as we will do with the next O2, the only thing that may change is that it might make things easier that's all. The only tool that will allow you to make new things (not new but better) it's the next Visitor, however making a good Island takes months of hard work (this assuming you know about the business or else it will take years).
So, my plans:
1 - I intend to keep balancing our game, that's why I gave the Racs a pretty good arsenal of weapons, in the future I will give them vehicles at least a Truck and a Tank. I like the idea that my Racs do balance the game for the Independent side they just need vehicles and that will happen sooner or later, probably on a combined effort with other/others addon makers since my specialty is soldiers and weapons mainly.
2 - The project I'm working at this moment (secret for now) which will balance things even more and it's part of something I talked in my first Racs thread, I'm working side by side with a very good addon maker and I think it will be a great surprise for some of you guys.
3 - A combined Multi Player pack so we can have servers hosting good missions with good addons. The success of this project is away beyond my hands but to resume it's a Pack with the best addons combined in one, covering all sides, for this to work I will need not only addon makers but mission makers too as well as a large support from the Major ARMA websites.
It must cover like 75% of the community or it will be a failure, so... it's a big plan but risky that's why I have been planning it ever since and every now and then I contact people to change ideas (brain storming) and to learn their opinions so I can have the correct support when the time comes.
My vision about addons is to make something that will benefit the game according to what BIS made and according to the community's releases. So, today I see a great opportunity in making something big for us all, something that will with no doubts join people. One of my first steps was to start helping lots of addon makers on the background as well as leaving my work open for everybody to understand and commented every time possible.
I believe that there are a lot of talented people out there that just doesn't make addons because they think it's too hard. Lots of CS artists tell me that they don't work for ARMA because of it's complexity.
I'm trying to make things easier (according to my knowledge and findings) writing tutorials and helping people every time possible because this is the first step to my 3rd plan. Together we can make something really big, who knows? Maybe I get lucky http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/wink_o.gif
For now I work on plan 1 and 2 while delivering things the community asks that don't exist in our game, at this moment two brand new sniper rifles to go along with the nice M24 and the Dragunov as well as the TRG available in the Swiss Pack http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/wink_o.gif

It works for the BIS rifles since ArmA version 1.08. http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/whistle.gif
That's why there are 2 settings for tracer colour in the config.
<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">tracerColor[] = {0.8,0.1,0.1,0.04};
tracerColorR[] = {0,0,0,0};[/QUOTE]
The second one sets the colour for when rifle tracers are disabled in the difficulty options, I guess the 'R' stands for realistic. With the BIS weapons, the difficulty setting disables tracers for rifles and leaves them for other weapons which should have them.

Also, will your next version be compatible with the SIX Tracers mod? I always play with that mod since the tracers look so much better.
One minor bug I noticed it that the muzzle flash (when viewed from 3rd person) seems to have some transparency glitch that lets you see through buildings and objects.
The sniper rifles don't seem very accurate, hard to hit distant targets. Maybe that's intentional though. http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/confused_o.gif

Yes, you've made a mistake in CfgTextureToMaterial - the paths are pointing to ...\Tx\... instead of ...\Zh\... IIRC.
I also think that 5+ resolution LODs is an overkill. There is really no difference between 1.7k and 1.5k LOD and too many lods with only little difference aren't good performance-wise.
But that's a digression.
PS. I am working on anims atm. Have the M249 done. You need to add a named property autocenter=0 for axes to work right. (or wait for me to finish http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/wink_o.gif ).

Small, small note: in your readme you state the name of the light machinegunner is Ska_LMgun, whereas it's obviously Ska_MercLMgun (following the same pattern as all the other named soldiers ^^)
Same thing with the second one -> Ska_MercLmgunT2 instead of Ska_LMgunT2.
I noticed randomly that this also goes on in the config.cpp : i.e., in the beginning you've defined all the units like so:
<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">class SKA_Rac_Mercs
{
units[] = {"Ska_MercOff", "Ska_MercSol", "Ska_MercGrenadier", "Ska_MercMiner", [b]"Ska_LMgun"[/b], "Ska_MercMgun", "Ska_MercMedic", "Ska_MercAT", "Ska_MercSniper",
"Ska_MercOffT2", "Ska_MercSolT2", "Ska_MercGrenadierT2", "Ska_MercMinerT2", [b]"Ska_LMgunT2"[/b], "Ska_MercMgunT2", "Ska_MercMedicT2", "Ska_MercATT2", "Ska_MercSniperT2"[/QUOTE]
But in the actual config they're both named:
<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">class Ska_MercLMgun: SoldierGCommando[/QUOTE]
<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">class Ska_MercLMgunT2: SoldierGCommando[/QUOTE]
Not a biggie, unless you're planning on spawning them (like I was ^^).

The work is still in progress and I might expand it a bit.

Nice - but is it possible to rotate the cocking handle out on the G3/HK23e as well (since the cocking handle is folded flat during operation, but unfolded outwards during reload so you can grip it to cock the weapon)? CS provides a good example.
I got the CH moving well on the FAL, G3A3 and HK23, but unless it is folded out on the G3 and HK23 during reloading (and I haven't got time to tinker with it), it's very hard to notice.
I'm sure you know what I mean.
EDIT - Damn forum ruining my diagrams.
Mate, you could do what I'm doing and get the CH working on the FAL variants and G3 variants as well as the HK23e too - it looks pretty uber.
Here's an example:
http://neoairsoft.home.comcast.net/ca33e/9.jpg
G3 cocking handle, laying flat for operation.
http://www.misklin.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/misklin/G3SG1cock2.jpg
G3SG1 cocking handle as per reloading. Ingame it would probably be impossible to put the handle in the locked position (e.g. out of the line of the slide) but it should be possible to make it stick out, eh?

When the machinegunner finish his ammos...if he find Colt rifles...he can take more ammo from them and use its magazines.

That would be a good option for the RACS blokes, since they're firing A1s.
Problem: the magazine in the M249 would still be a 200 round box model, but with 30 M193 bullets in it. Game limitation, I guess.
Also, since the RACS are receiving US Army training, it may be that, similar to the US M249s, the magazine feed may have been removed.

Hey, was it you that asked if it's possible to make rifle sights adjustable with anims?
Well, it isn't but you are able to set different viewpoints and angles for muzzles. This is a system I use with M32 I work on atm. Only problem is anims don't play for second and thoird muzzle, but I guess we can live with that...
Still interested?

Noone else seems to have had this problem, but I put the pbos in my addon folder, and most of the weapons work with the exception of the FAL, which I can pick up and fire, but it does so from my chest - that is to say that no model appears in my hands, I stand as if I'm unarmed, and it fires. I've tried most ofthe other weapons and they all seem to work fine! Any ideas?

Thats an old Problem. Hast to do with addons that are not 1.08 compatible.
so in your Addonfolder there is most likley an old Addon floating arround. So all you can do is to move the addons one by one from your addonfolder to find out which one it was.
Greg147
Jul 17 2007, 10:40
That is normally an addon conflict. It happens with rifles when a new v1.08 compatible addon is in the addons folder.
Does the same thing happen with any other rifles in the game?
Either way, try removing all unofficial addons from your addon folder and mod folder except Skavens.

You could get rid of bag by assigning a transparent texture Cameron.
Just find the correct texture and fill it with black in alpha.

Hello Skaven.
Nice job with this addon, I love it and I have already some missions using this addon under progress. I have one request though - Could you make your weapons less accurate, so they would be equal with the HD weapons? In my mission you are armed with your weapons and the enemy is armed with the HD ones, so it doesn't seem good when you can make so good hits and enemy can't hit you at all unless you're close enough to them. http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/confused_o.gif Thanks.

Yes, I did that, but it doesn't really help, it only makes their aiming faster. And it isn't exactly what I want, I like it that way when they're more inaccurate than with BIS weapons.

But, of course, for some reason the HD-ifying doesn't quite work as well as in OFP. I wonder why? I remember playing some missions with Ebud's new version of Tonali + opfor (maaaan we need that in ArmA, stat!http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/wink_o.gif, and at longer ranges you could pretty much stand out in the open with like 10 people or so trying to shoot the hell out of you and missing as long as they're like 200m+ away.
With these HD weapons...well...frankly I still find them to be at least 75% as effective as before. You sure you didn't use a modded armaprofile.cfg file when you designed them, Skaven? Cause not everyone has changed the whole "precisionEnemy" thing http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/tounge2.gif

Well, my weapons can of course be made less accurate to equal HD but than you will have two problems:

That's what I originally was thinking, but the Sahranian military seems to have enough money to dish out for fancy German firearms and superfluous M163's. I suppose the CH34 could fit, but there are so many UH-1's on the market that nearly every third world country has used it in their military if they didn't get an Mi-8.

Hey there. I'm really sorry if posting in this old thread causes a problem, but I have a question...
Ages ago, I downloaded this AddOn from one of the links, most of whom doesn't seem to work anymore. After installing them, I mean to have been left with the following new units:
I recall the RACS getting some new units, as is the purpose of the AddOn. I don't remember what category you found them in, but I believe they were in "Units > Independants > Skaven's RACS" or something. They included what I remember being units dressed in forest camouflage, desert camouflage and possibly a semi-urban looking set. Also, each faction got a new section of units with so-called "HD" equipment.
In addition; I believe I had a second set of units at the time. If I remember correctly, they were referred to as "Mercenaries", or "Mercs" or something. I particularily remember them having slightly unusual helmets, and the "Rifleman" units being armed with what looked like an AG3 or something.
However, when I recently installed this AddOn again, from the "Armaholic" website, I got a slightly different layout. The new RACS units advertised, were under the "Mercs" -category, there wasn't as many variants as I mean to remember, (Although I may well be wrong in that regard.), and the "Mercenary" units I described - those with the unusual but cool helmets and AG3s - were not to be seen anywhere.
What the hell...? Am I going insane, here? Am I just remembering things? http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/crazy_o.gif

A GL is a grenade launcher
Anyway, I think you may be refering to the original or maybe second pack, where the default weapon was either a FN FAL or a G3 (which I personally prefered to the M16A1).
As for the class names and unsual helmets, I don't know.

Why not just leave it open to the editing public? Personally I think the 6th sense tracers are one of the most awesome additions to ArmA since it's release. I'd do it myself but I'm not a wizard like most of the awesome characters in here.
Yours look somewhat similar to the 6th sense ones, but the fact that there's a tracer on every round is a little annoying, although you might get plenty of burning corpses in a battle situation. Though as much as that would thrill me, it kinda ruins the realism aspect of it.
Also I'm getting recoil errors every time I try to fire one of the guns in the pack, is that due to the version of patch I'm using, as I saw in one of the other threads? Currently only on 1.08.
Otherwise it's a truly outstanding pack, I even dig the sounds! Any plans on making more variants of the different weapons?

More importantly,a future update could include 1.09+ adapted recoils. Since currently playing these guns in any of the beta patches generally gives you a recoil that makes your gun kick DOWNWARDS. :P Oh - and making the included "JAM" HD weapons path to default sounds, so that they don't sound like vanilla BIS weapons when we've got some soundpack running...
