Arma 2 Addon request thread

[W0lle]

Before this gets out of hand: If you have an idea for a new addon, request it here (and hope the best).

Please do not start new threads with addon requests. All other addon requests threads are deleted without further notification.

This thread must also be used when searching for a certain addon!

[Gedis]

As to show an example, my wish list is:
1) proper T-90 (and mods)
2) Mi-28N
3) Su-27 series
4) BMD series and vdv concept (i hope soul_assasin is still around)
5) Admiral Kuznetsov, it's working armament and airwing
and so on...

I would like to see the Canadian Forces in-game.

I'm not a fan of the new map interface.

How about a mod that brings back the good old OFP/ArmA notebook?

[Abs]

Oh, there was also a sniper addon for ArmA that had windage and sight elevations or something (sorry, I'm not fully articulate at 3:20am...damn night shift). It would be great if someone could create this for ARMA2.

I would like to kindly request the OV-10A Bronco (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OV-10_Bronco). This would in my oppinion be the most significant aircraft (class) that could be added to Arma 2.

The jets are fun and a valuable support when playing on the ground. But as player controlled units they do not work that well. They are so fast they cross Chernarus in moments, the viewdistance on avarage PCs is too low to use them efficiently and their weapon systems are too complex for this game (and are therefore represented very arcady; Tab-Shoot-Kill). The simple, low and slow aircraft fit much better into the Arma 2 game-world. The OV-10 would therefore be the perfect aircraft for Arma 2. Equiped with no sensors but the pilots eyes, the OV-10 features simple aim-and-shoot armament of MGs, miniguns and rockets. It is rather slow but very maneuverable, features excellent cockpit visibility and tends to operate close to the ground. It has good STOL capabilities and can operate from small airstrips (and even take-off from the LHD).

A shame the Marines got rid of their broncos in the 90s, otherwise it would have most likely made it into the stock game. Btw, recently there were discussions about re-opening production of the OV-10 for the current needs of the US armed forces.

Depiction = Immersion. In this case the game is trying to depict a group of human beings getting out of a vehicle.

Disembarking (from what I see in ARMA2 videos) appears to be the same 'ol wonderment of: "I mysteriously appeared through a solid metal plate" - or something to that effect.

Good God, how this looks in it's current state, and, how this function remained unchanged from ARMA 1 to ARMA2, is beyond me.

Complete immersion killer considering an alternative that depicts a more-correct visual of disembarkation.

A little bug in the ear for anyone interested in listening.

can you just picture it? you and your men driving in a hummer and you are ambushed, you open the door and step out drawing your rifle out, using the door for cover. why isnt this already in the game.. would it really be so hard to make the few animations needed for the different vehicles? very disapointing.

they should have made it.. walk up to the vehicle and look at the door. hit the USE key to open door, and look inside to vehicle where you hit the USE key again to get inside. the player automatically closes the door as he steps in. when exiting just select "get out" from the menue or look at the door and hit USE to open and step out. the door stays open untill the player closes it, or the vehicle drives off and it automatically closes. this would make at least the hummers so much more use-able.

[Sam75]

some suggestions:

-clouds casting shadows on terrain

-tracer rounds keep burning after impact (random time values eg from 1/2 sec to 5sec)

-corpses in burning vehicules turn to black (like destroyed vehicules)

-burning soldiers running around after explosion (there was a mod like that in OFP)

-make anti personnal weapon like og7 ineffective against armored vehicules and AI using them only against troops.

-3d modeled muzzle flash for weapons, like 5 meshs played randomly.


i have no skill in scripting so i don't know what can be done or not, these are just suggestions :)

[CarlGustaffa]

A better NVG system:
* Noisy, but not implemented how OFP NVGs was. Maybe instead of 3 images, use a bigger noise image and move it quickly to new locations making it appear much more random.
* Possibility to turn off auto gain, however...
* Limited maximum gain when in absolute darkness. Like no moon, overcast, nowhere near rural areas providing ambient light.
* As available light decreases, decrease the contrast provided by the NVG. Can post processing be used?
* If builtin IR light provider, should have limited range.
* Builtin zoom if possible. Narrow the DOF making them uncomfortable.
* Maybe use distance based DOF pp to make them less useful.
* If mostly useful for driving around and no so much for fighting can be done, then make it compatible with all sights (despite not being fully realistic). However...
* Some sights should have proper night vision. Could even be the night vision goggle effect that we see as default.

Basically, degrade the usefulness of NVGs unless NV scopes are being used, probably using some post processing tricks. Let the players start using illumination for support instead.

Currently the U.S. Army is replacing the Humvee with Force Protection inc. line of Mine Resistant Armored Personel Vehicals. These vehicals are designed to take RPG and mine damage with crew survivability. I Think the Cougar model and the Buffalo Model would be a very useful addon for Arma or Arma 2. Also I havent seen anyone create a vehical with the CROWS, a remote operated gun used by the soldier inside the vehical. I would love to see this as an addon in Arma 2 or Arma. I would love to help, but I have almost no experince moding.

To be somewhat like real life:

* when the vehical is 100% damaged the crew should survive.
* The vehical should be able to survive at least 1 RPG strike.
* It would be neat if the fenders and other parts flew off leaving the body of the vehical intact with the crew only injured.
* Future Weapons had a speacial on the MRAP Cougar and precluded that the Army would soon be attaching the CROWS system to the Cougar, allowing the soldier to control the MG inside the vehical. This would be nice for many of the vheicals in Arma, allowing a more modern combat style. Basicaly this would be a cougar model of a Humvee with the strykers MG mount.

AI MOD!

i think it's obvious that a new FFN mod for better AI will be implemented.

currently the AI seems to run too much instead of walk with the gun raised. or on the opposite note - crawl in places where it doesnt make too much sense to crawl. i think most humans dont crawl or run like that and if the AI behaves more like humans do than they will feel much better and less robotic.

there are occasions where the AI is side-stepping slowly with the gun raised which mimics a human behavior the most since this is usually what we do. if there was a mod for the AI to make them use this moving behavior more often than that would help to convey a more real life like AI.

same goes for moving while crouched. i almost never see the AI moving while crouched. this keeps them more low profile and, as before, more human like.

last thing is make them react faster. i know it's a lot easier said than done but im too many cases on the hardest settings of the AI they stare at me for far too long before firing. now, no one wants an AI that fires and hits u in 1 second. usually the player can not aim that fast in medium ranges and above. i think if the AI aims fast and starts shooting fast than it will aim worse, but if the AI takes too long to shoot than when it DOES than it will shoot accurately, as if it took it's time to aim.
another variable should be distance to target. if the AI is close to it's target than they will be more likely to fire faster.
another factor for speed of firing seems too complicated to implement - if the AI's target is facing the AI than the AI, out of fear of being shot, will fire faster. if the target is aiming the other way than the AI will take its time to aim.

i dont know how much control modders have over the AI, but since AI is , IMO, more important for the enjoyment of the game than sun glasses or a new texture of the uniform than i hope that a mod for the AI will not take too long.

here's for hoping....

When the tools are out I guess we'll be able to play with the inverse kinematics. Does this mean we'll be able to have weapons other than pistols (e.g. MP5K or special purpose weapons) in the secondary (pistol) weapon slot, and fire them with correct animations?

The new CH-53K replacing the aging fleet of E's and D's

so far, from the little actual information available, the K's will be stronger, able to lift more, half the price? and less moving parts. sounds too good to be true. but i want to believe it!

From Defense Daily
http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/ch53k-the-us-marines-hlr-helicopter-program-updated-01724/#CH-53K

Technologies under consideration for the CH-53K include a “glass” [digital] cockpit that has high commonality and interoperability with existing Army and Navy helicopters, high-efficiency rotor blades with anhedral tips that are 11% wider, upgraded engines, a cargo rail locking system; external cargo improvements, survivability enhancements, and enhancements designed to extend service life.

The K's cabin is 30x9x6ft? which is wider than the E's cabin, which can allow transportation of Humvees.

Reference material I've gathered

http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/aircraft/images/ch-53k-image04.jpg

I'm not sure which of these models is right, but there's aparently two variants, one has slanted side windows, a noticeable hump where the engines meet the tail section, and different engine placements?

there's lots of pictures of both of these models, but I'd go with the bottom

* Some basic hand to hand combat
* A knife as a last resort

[Helmut_AUT]

(Originally Posted in Suggestions Forum, but maybe something for Modmakers instead of BIS:

Adding a Micro UAV with the option to carry it and "deploy" it in field:

I really like the addition of the Predator and Russian Drone to the inventory, together with the user friendly and easy implementation trough game logic.

But, lets be honest - for what we are using it in game, the Predator is overkill. A player might realistically be commanding a platoon, at best a company in game - I doubt Officers of that rank have a real-time handle on a Predator and where it goes. Also for range and endurance, the Predator is much more than any A2 mission will likely ever need.

Something that would fit in well with the more common mission type, and which is actually used by Marines (not on loan from the Air Force), would be the WASPIII Micro UAV. This thing has a 5km range and 45 minute flight time, quite adequate for most infantry assaults.

If a bit more range and endurance are wanted, the RQ-11 Raven (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RQ-11_Raven) or the Dragon Eye (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Eye) could be modelled.

Downside to these three designs is that their primary camera is a fixed side-looking type, so instead of the movable turret now modelled on the game's Predator, you'd have a system that flys circles around a spot and keeps the camera aligned. But that's plenty for recon work, and no one says you can't still model it as "movable turret" for game purposes.

Upside to them - a considerable upside - is that these are man-portable, hand-launched UAVs. Make it two pieces of large gear (one the Drone, one the control system), only one of which would fit in the "RPG/M136/Javelin Slot" so it needs two soldiers to carry, and give one of them the ability to "launch" (spawn) the UAV when needed. The soldier with the control gear (or the Unit Commander, if the Soldier is AI) can then use a menu action to connect with the UAV and get the images, no need for a dedicated UAV Terminal Object.

So basically, my suggestion is:

Give the user a choice not only for a theatre-level MALE UAV like the Predator which currently has to be placed by the mission designer beforehand, but also for a man-portable, "deployed during the mission" design that might even avoid the need to have it scripted into the mission - if the scripts can be packed with the "Gear", any player could select the UAVs from the Gear Selection screen before a mission.

The hand-launched UAVs would be much better suited to the role I'm seeing them mainly used for in A2 - when an Infantry Squad - or Platoon - under Player Command prepares for an Assault on a village or fortified enemy position, to gain aerial overview and recon information before actually commencing the assault. The Predator doesn't really fit realistically in that role.

[CarlGustaffa]

Best suggestion so far in this thread. Actually, it's so good I would like to see it as an official addon update so that games can remain addon free. I like the idea of aerial recog, but I find the Predator overkill for this. The WASPIII Micro UAV would be perfect.

If I were to use the Predator, I have to remove the ammo. That's not going to be widely popular... And I fully support the idea of it being operated by two guys. Not quite sure how I could enforce it though.

[Helmut_AUT]

Thanks.

You enforce it to be two guys since you pack the aircraft in one container, the required "control suit" in a second container, both filling the slot reserved usually for Javelin or other AT Weapons. A single player could only carry the folded-up drone, or the control unit, but not both. This seems coherent and believable with the real size of these things. Maybe even make it so that the two guys need to be together to launch the Drone, for example by giving the launching action to the guy with the control unit, only as long as he's close enough to the guy carrying the aircraft.

Arguable this doesn't require their teamwork once the thing is airborne, but for SP missions and even MP missions it means that the tactical usefulness of the small UAV comes packed with some tactical disadvantages (less carrying space on those two soldiers).

IF (we don't know yet) it's possible to put these functions into actual "Gear Items", you could also place them inside a Humwee or other vehicle for easy transport.

For me, it would really add to the realism to actually have a guy in my squad deploy the UAV when I want it, not requiring the mission maker to hang me one overhead all the time.

The Predator is just not suited to that type of deployment - the way I understand it, they are all controlled from continental US by sat connection, directly linking their images into those command centers, from where the filtered and analysed information then gets distributed to in-theater commanders (and never as low as Platoon or Squad Leaders).

Since most of A2 features the player as exactly that low rank level, he needs an UAV that is actually deployed and controlled from "in the field". It is so obvious that I really wonder why BIS chose to implement the MQ-9, I assume because of "name recognition" value more than anything else.

BTW, the Russian "Pechela" is actually a bit better suited to the in-game use, but it's still a fairly large vehicle requiring a specialized launcher.

Here's another interesting UAV from the category we're looking for: German Aladin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aladin_(UAV), with a range of 15km and 30-60 minutes Endurance.

Which is also equipped on the FENEK Recon Vehicles as standard.

I think the important part is that BIS actually put in the framework to control UAVs pretty well (although the Pred. needs a stabilized camera). They just decided on the wrong size UAV to include, and with smaller size UAVs automatically comes the idea to make them actual equipment items, not just game logic objects.

[CarlGustaffa]

@<hidden>:
By enforcement I ment "how to prevent a single player from loading up his vehicle with both equipments and using it solo". But I see how it can be done technically. A has the UAV in hand and gets an action 'Check signal'. He will get 'Launch UAV' when signal is ok. Signal is based on any player within 50m radius having the control unit as the active weapon. Maybe some frequency sync could be used in addition, don't know.

@<hidden>: Why the need for another .50 cal? I'd rather have proper anti material capable ammunition available for the M107 (HEAPI, raufoss multipurpose). In Arma1 it was even hard disabling cars with this weapon which is insane :p

Ok, going really crazy about animals, but how about the legendary lyrebird (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuFyqzerHS8)? :D The battlefield would be nothing short of highly confusing :D

[Helmut_AUT]

Carl, the process with "Check Signal" makes sense. If there are multiple controllers around, it might even offer a selection of emitters for the guy with the UAV to synch to. Only important thing is that it would also work for single player by using the ACTION menu when commanding AI.

An addon I 'd like to see is a wind deflection addon. If I remember correctly there was one for OFP and ArmA. Its a useless addon yet it some how makes the game 10x better.

[Lincoln1stFJ]

Some ideas:

AC130

MOAB or Daisy Cutter

B1 Lancer

B1R - AIM120D Launch Platform

Side or Grouped Networked Target Data Integration

AA & AGM missile Cam

C-RAM Protection System

Directed-energy laser weapons

Active Denial Systems for civilian riot scenarios (guess we'd need rioting a civilian script too)

I dig the Micro UAV idea.

We definitely need Moose, Deer, Elk and Bear.

We'll also need a Slobadan Milosevic character.

[vitchilo]

I vote for the AC130 and maybe a map of the Korean DMZ with SK-NK armies? This part of the world may blow up... so it would be great if we could play it in Arma 2...

Destroyers, submarines...water stuff.

Recoiless nuclear rifle? :)

B-2?

T-95 with a 152 mm cannon?

[Helmut_AUT]

Main problem with the AC-130 has always been that it's plain overkill. If the enemy has no air defense, then they are simple toast. If they have, the AC-130 is toast. Would be cool for some SP missions or coops, but a bit easy.

The NK/SK idea is great, the terrain would match the green camo we currently have, for starters some NK soldiers would be enough, and a lot of their ex-russian equipment is already modelled.

only wish i could make it myself but i just dont have the time or knowledge for it...
so anyone, please?

Hi All,

I hope someone can add a M-110 supressed sniper rifle (Knight's Armament) to Arma 2. I believe it was already in the ACE mod for Arma. In this regard I have a question can one extract the weapon from ACE and convert it to Arma 2?

Below you'll find some pictures and movies:

don't think the M16A3 has a detatchable carry handle (the military one anyway), the airsoft version which i assume that is does or AFAIK anyway.

Can that be confirmed?

Either way it would be pretty easy to make, the problem is that i dont know if it would be possible to add the extra eye candy ARMA 2 supports yet.

@<hidden> 2, have you ever played one of the zombie mods for ARMA? They were pretty funny :)

Not really no. Even if possible(which is not), it's a bit NO without original author consent.

Be sure that ACE2 will have it though

Hi mate, that is ashame, will it be in ACE 2 for Arma 2? I read you all migrated into a new mod? Can you tell abit more of what will be in it. I loved the M-110.

[504Smudge]

Hey fellas I’m pretty new to the Forums here but an old hat at FP and ArmA

One thing I would love to see and GOOB touched on it is more accurate sniper modelling i.e. the requirement to setup your scope before the shot (windage elevation e.t.c.) I think that could also make shots more rewarding but harder to achieve thus making the sniper weapons less appealing to let’s say some new(b)ish players ;)

Also being a Brit I’d love to see a few Brit uniforms and maybe the L85A2 Maybe a rework of the AV8 to the GR9? cos let’s face it where you find Americans you'll find brits lol.

So I've been putzin around in my HUMVEE in Arma2, and I got to thinking: How awesome would it be to make a racing mod? First priority would be to create AI specifically for driving, and driving quickly and efficiently. After that the MOD could start to take shape with new vehicles, and other "fluff".

I really think the frame for a fun Rally Car racing MOD is already there. I may get to studying myself to take this on, but I was curious if anyone else had thought about these possibilities? Perhaps we could work together. :)

M16A3 does have the picatinny rail beneath the detachable carrying handle, many people mistake the A3 as a "A2 with a rail"

This is True for both military and Airsoft

Happy to help
I would also love to see this weapon in arma2 also... been waiting for something like this for a while!

Greets,

Not sure if this should be in the bug fix or if it can be modded in, it would be nice to have these:


Sight optics (aim point):, when the sun is low and in your back, the reflection in the optics is so high, all you see is a white reflection (even if my head and trees are in the way of sunlight in regards to the sight); annoying
NVG: when used in a dark night (duh... I mean around 2 am), when zooming in (holding your breath) or using optics (ACOG in my xp)... it all just turns dark, you have to zoom out to see anything; annoying

I would be greatefull if both could be modded/fixed, thx :)

I've been trying to find an appropriate racing circuit since Operation Flashpoint. I found some good ones on Nogova, although they're a little boring, and one very good one on Everon. The best car so far for racing is the Jeep in OFP, and the Sedan (saloon) in ArmA and ArmA 2.

The problem, as I see it, is that roads have different characteristics for driving. A car which can go 100 km/h on a tarmac road might only go 50 km/h on a dirt road, and good luck getting any specific speed on grass. While it convinces people to stay on the road, the rapid decrease in speed makes it difficult to catch up after even a single diversion from the track.

Motorcycle racing is very fun, though, albeit extremely difficult.

N to those who say it isn't fair... You still have AA troops.. AA Trucks and stuff like that... Jet's and what not.. They can stop a Specter if they had the chance :)...

[Dr. Gonzo]

A more realistic laser guided bomb, not these suicidal "stuka" attacks, where the plane barely escapes the blast. A.I acts as if they where droping LGB bombs in CCIP (http://www.tpub.com/content/aviation2/P-1209/P-12090031.htm).
I want AI planes to fly high above, even out of sight,
giving the bomb more fall time and not horizontal when it hits. And maybe a better sound (http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=5d9_1187411911) to it, so you really get the impression of how powerful it really is.
I think this would add more excitement to it, in the same way as when you wait for the artillery. knowing the ordnance is in the air and it's the matter of seconds. And more complex communication with A.I, like bomb fall time, when to start lase and so on.
I'd also like to se bigger bombs, like the 2000 lb.
Basically just making planes fly higher when they drop LGB's would be a great improvement.

[Daza]

I would like to see an addon made which looks a little like this reference photo below.
http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t60/Daza_07/datacentre-security.jpg
The player (or mission editor) can place say 5-6 "cameras" around a base or building and view all the cameras on a wall of monitors which is placed in a tent, a room or perhaps a vehicle like a van {which someone would have to create a van for this feature}.

I thought this would be great for multiplayer missions where a base has to be defended or a small town. And could be used for the same in SP missions, defense and also assault missions where one objective is to destroy it or its power source. Perhaps a mission is a stake out where a deal is going to go down and you have men ready to rush in and secure an area or room at your command as you watch and wait for the moment. Could be used in cutscenes showing a bank robbery going wrong etc

So the ref/picture is basically what it could look like, a desk that a player can sit down on and then view the monitors- which then will be shown fullscreen on players actual screen. They will be vulnerable to attack while in this mode, unless the unit/player gets up. 3rd person mode, im not sure how well you could display the actual camera images on the individual monitors, whilst standing an looking in normal view, but worth trying out.

Make it also when one camera is destroyed or glitches, that monitor will show static. Sometimes one monitor rolls the image at random periods, just for effect.
Have a mouse point active (in fullscreen mode) so player can click on one monitor to show that image only fullscreen. And also perhaps have some buttons on the monitors, for; on/off, NV mode, Black&White mode.

Another variation could be (not sure how doable this would be) but having a helmet cam on Ai or other players in a squad and on the monitors you see what each camera sees, maybe have a radius of a couple of miles or so for range? A Squad leader could use this.

Maybe have a portable version?, that is abit like the IR Hunter in Arma1, where it only works with one single camera, that can be placed anywhere the player can reach. It will be small, size of a tennis ball perhaps, that an enemy player can see if he knows where to look. This could be used for ambushes, keeping an eye on prisoners or a building under surveillance while you go around the back etc. Perhaps the monitor for this one, could be the a clone of the Gps device built into the game, and you can toggle it off/on screen to see it while you move around.

SPY/DISGUISE and GUARD DOGS ADDON SUGGESTION

Another Addon Suggestion (I'm not a modder or have the know how, but i hope to inspire some new Mods i'd like to see). I would like to see one where a player can obtain a rucksack which is a enemy uniform or Civilian clothing. And you can change uniform, you will need to change your weapon also obviously. This could be a spy unit that only he can do this. In a Mp/Sp game, the off-set is if he is close to enemy guard dogs, they will react to you that will tip of the guards/enemy (eg. the dog starts barking at the spy and begins to follow him instead of the handler/patrol group. A spy would likely be used to infiltrate a base or camp for intel gathering, rescue op or sabotage.)

Perhaps at being detected some of or all your uniform changes back to your real uniform. While in disguise you will appear to enemy ai as a friendly, and you will be able to act and interact with things as if you are on that side. If the spy kills an enemy unit, while undetected it will seem a friendly fire incident. So obviously killing too many units will arouse suspicion.
The disguise will fail if you are detected by a guard dog(s).

So who ever makes this mod, would have to implement the guard dog/detection element to balance it.

It would be too easy for players or the hq commander to place dogs next to important buildings and units like the MHQ and the dogs would act like a tripwire. So perhaps its best to make it that dogs randomly or given a radius to patrol around the camp/base. And will alert everyone via barking and chasing the spy. Put the dogs too far out on patrol and they might not be heard or killed.

This will be the means spies can be found out easily if they run into the dogs or the dogs move past where they actually want to be. One other thing, if a spy goes in disguise where his side could be operating in, he will have to alert via TS or chat, to his side that he will be in such and such area disguised. Because his own side will see him as an enemy, inc the AI. Maybe have an option to have a little glow light appear on his shoulder or helmet something that only his side can see. Sort of like a an Infra-red marker.

Even though spies are in disguise they would have a time limit which can be set (by mission editor/Admin/server) on how long your disguise will last for, a timer shown at all times to the wearer, then when the time limit is almost up he will have to move somewhere safe preferably away from enemy and he will revert back to his normal uniform. To do this again he will have to secure an enemy uniform again (which could be an item only he can buy at HQ or it could be from a black market arms dealer in a SP mission. Maybe limit it to one disguise available at a time per side in MP). This could make things interesting in a mp game like in Warfare for example. Where players will have to keep an eye out for suspicious activity at HQ by other "friendlies". Maybe when in the patrol radius of guard dogs, a player will see an option in the Action menu to call the dog over to where they are standing. So if you want to use the dog to check an area or a "friendly" you can, it will patrol in a small circle around your area before going back to its previous patrol cycle or start a new one.

Perhaps one feature/objective could be built into the mod as an optional, is if a spy takes a Map or briefcase, which will have position of all units revealed on the map at that precise time of being picked up. The map will be sort of a screen shot, which will have a time code stamp on it, maybe a black and white version of the game map which you can zoom and move around it as normal. But cant be viewed by anyone but the person holding it. So the spy can return back to base and give this document to the commander of his side. Who then can equip this document and view the map. If the spy is killed he loses the document.

This document/briefcase will have to be placed somewhere where it can be easily seen (for players to keep and eye on incase its "taken" and so its easy to find for the spy, because his base camp will have the same setup for their briefcase.) Maybe some of you can think of other objectives and uses for a Spy in a MP/SP game? it could be an assassination assignment. Perhaps a Spy could use a device that is planted on a radio tower, that allows him to see/hear the enemy chat channels? But he has to be close to tower in order to do so.. but he cant communicate back (otherwise he could feed false information to the enemy) nor chat to his side either. Perhaps this would be a waste of time in a casual game where you get a lot of mindless chatter.

I hope in due time someone will have come up with a mod for attack dogs that can be given commands like troops.ie. attack target, Stop, follow, move here, stealth, go prone, mount vehicle, sit and roll over (jk). The ability to be able to be healed by medics (what about putting a rucksack on a dog and he can take it somewhere, could be med supplies that a medic or wounded person needs? like a rescue dog). Perhaps the dog(s) are more noisy and less disciplined when handled by a regular unit, than if under the command of a Handler unit, the dog is more quiet. Which would make it harder for a spy or enemy unit to rely upon hearing the dogs in the distance when they are on patrol and when being tracked.

I apologise if this post is a little too long. If it is, you probably wont be reading this bit lol Note: I did do two seperate posts but for some reason they were merged. Which i didnt want, because it will be confusing.

Hi ArmA2 Modders,

I am waiting for somone who could model a HGU-55 Helmet MBU-12 Oxygen Mask for ArmA2 Pilots.:):)

Or maybe something like this!!

This HALO Soldier would be very interesting for ArmA2 too!!

I've seen that pilots in ArmA wearing Helicopter Helmets???:confused::confused:

That can't be....

I would very please if somebody would model some of these items for ArmA2

Can someone make an F14? TYVM.

very simple request: the ability to process a given squad.xml file, and give only the players mentioned the ability to lock and unlock a moveable unit (choppers etc).

this could be introduced into domination game mode to stop people wasting assets.

[Halochief89]

US army soldiers using the ACH helmet that is already ingame (sorry cameron your soldiers' heads are too small) that the designated marksman wears. Along with ACU camouflage would make my day. Maybe delta force special forces like they had in arma 1.

[anfiach]

I would really love it if someone would please make an add on that allows you to turn off the HUD. I am sure this is possible since we have an FPS counter mod and I believe it was scruffy that made some GUI changes. It would be preferable to make it selectable via either hotkey or the settings menu. Thanks.

[wjpenn]

Can someone please rework the Nimitz Carrier with working lifts and a practical hangar bay where planes can go to rearm and not clutter up the deck. I would be very appreciative! Also would need to have aircraft tugs that pull the planes around and maybe making use of an arresting hook on the planes that actually "catch" the wires on the deck while landing. This in my opinion would add to the realism of the game since marines do run alot of sorties from carriers. That way missions would seem more practical instead of just magically appearing on an airfield surrounded by russians and what not in the middle of Chernarus. This would add a whole new aspect to the game and feel alot more intense in my opinion.

thanks

Others and Civillians:
Mig-21
Mig-29
An-2
BMP-1
BTR-70
An-12
An-26
Cessna 172
Let L-410 small transport plane
More civillian shotguns and hunting rifles, yes we have animals in arma2 and we can hunt em ;) but mainly for defence of villages etc
SKS semi auto rifles
a few more cars or vehicles like LADA niva (this vehicle would at realism to what vehicles are in that country) etc


And also add some things to game like:
*Little streams or rivers and maybe waterfalls
*Ability to leap forward (relasitic length and wears u down if u do it a few times), this would be handy for jumping mines etc or low very objects
*bodies in burnt vehicles chared
*abilty to open doors in vehicles and move around in when vehicle is stationary
*transport planes that can carry vehicles inside
*Jumping out of planes via back door opened and simply done by moving to jumping position by menu
*Trenches
*wire cutting animations
*abilty to roll out wire like in VBS2 for road blocks etc
*ability to sit down like in Operation Flashpoint, i remember those camp sights i used to attack and soldiers were sitting down like they would in real life and others standing


That would be my ultimate features
I chose more russian vehicles, only because in real life russia could deploy many more variants of vehicles in this area than US

[Sneaky5150]

How about an A10 that can actually take off from an airfield? Same engine sounds, same weapons. Just doesn't crash at the end of the runway, and gets in the air like the rest of the planes.

Same for the C-130. A C-130 Gunship would be awesome.

This sim has Vietnam mod written all over it. Rice paddies could be done nicely now as opposed to the past, now that you can use water.

That's what's great about this game over any other, possibilities are endless.

I know nothing about coding, so this may be a long shot. Is it possible to make an artillery addon for ArmA2? It would be nice to have fire support capability in some of the larger multiplayer battles. I was thinking that 1 player could act as a FOO, and the delivery could be either NPC or human directed.

[HappyBrit]

if any of these idea are already being made, gimme a link please

1. A British mod: Basically include British infantry, weapons, voices etc
2. Change Russians to Soviets to give a twang to a battle when they make Communist Attacks (Firing while advancing towards the enemy)
3. Maybe a mini nuke mod, especially as the game has destructable buildings
4. WW1/2

[Petko]

any possiblility to make a small addon to fine tune the squad awareness?
I mean there should be definetly a squad ribbon on the lower side of the screen even if someone is not a unit leader but a subordinate, to know in what unit he is in and who is with him, who is his commanding officer, where the hell are they etc. I can imagine somehing like in planteside where this was greatly done by assigning numbers to all squad members (this is implemented here too) and the numbers were shown on the map and minimap. 1 was alwas the squad leader. The squad waypoints should be also shown on the map with the current target, current missions etc. This would be the best if there would be also a minimap implemented.

Magpul Masada the most customizable rifle in the world (as far as i know)

the isreali Tank Merkava Mark IV nice in dessert terrain atleast its engine dosent get sandblasted and ruined :P

and ofcourse the stryker.

And a heavy sniper rifle for taking out cars and lightly armored ones hehe not a 50 cal but a 25 mm XM109

[Squeeky]

Multicam!

I would love to see the Multicam pattern in ArmA 2, specifically Crye precisions multicam with the built in kneepads/elbow pads in their combat line.

It was first developed when the US military were looking for a new pattern but the US DOD ended up going with the digital pattern they currently use. Having said that it is rumoured that a number of both American and British SF units use it in both Afghanistan and Iraq ( http://www.onesixthwarriors.com/photo/data/516/multicam.jpg ) Also http://www.multicampattern.com/indexflash.html is a great page for information on the pattern.

The Masada currently goes under the name ACR (Adaptive Combat Rifle) as Magpul have given manufacturing rights to Bushmaster for production and future development of the Masada. They have made some changes to the original Masada design including relocating the charging handle.

Oh and to have either version of the rifle in ArmA2 would be awesome :)

[Jimbo762.au]

Porting over Jonny's Army SF, they were very good. However making the Long Range Recon skins more long range and less kitted up. Eg Caps or Bush heats as a posed to helmets that type of thing. Here are 2 photos of Australian members of SOTG in Afghanistan:

As much as it would be nice to have some Aussie SAS skins they are more just for reference for the amount of kit they are wearing and beards etc.

Also some unconventional units in civvie clothes that type of thing.

[Daza]

Alot of suggestions are geared towards military units, but how about more civilians? and civ vehicles that would have a place in the game world?

It would be nice to have some different clothing for civilians, for mission makers who want to bring diversity and a little realism. Its a pity there isnt a tool for creating your own units, like some games have for making your player/character unique eg. selecting/manipulating size of body/face/parts of as well as choosing a range of clothing the community modders could make, hats, coats, overalls, diff. business suits, jackets, boots. This way there could be a huge diverse range of civillians and characters.

Mission makers of course would just need to include a pbo of their unique units in their mission. Best of unit packs could be put together. It would be great for use in cutscenes and increase the ambience of city and rural life. To have a diverse range of civs such as labourers(factory workers, or farmhands), mechanics, hot nurses, painters(paint stained overalls etc) , butchers, funeral director/undertaker. (I suppose some will need new animations, ie. painting a fence) but even without, l having them in game moving around would be good.) In relation to this new Objects would be another thing needed, such as tools; garden hoe, rakes, brooms, brown paper bags with food, bundles of wood, axes, buckets(that can be held), paint brushes, spades, ladders, umbrella (that civs can open/close when it rains), plow/harness for the cows.

Also there would be having some civ vehicles created such as a tow-truck, hearse,
flatbed truck with hay/and or milk containers etc?, ambulance, panel vans (various plain colours and logo names of them, perhaps mission maker can change slogan/font within its config file?), fuel trucks, milk trucks, logging trucks, bulldozers, cranes etc


Hospital objects; wheelchairs (sit in and are moveable), guerney cart (wounded can lay on), stretcher, IV drip etc (these objects could be used in a Med tent or inside a make shift building.

But i suppose it would be a too big project...? Perhaps a unit/character creator could be something BIS could consider for an addon down the road? if there were enough interest in that of course. You could also alter some solder units to make them alittle diverse in height and shape. In the meantime would good if some modders can make some new working-class civs, and some vehicles as suggested, and maybe some objects to go with them. I am sure they would be used alot.

[Snafu]

The VW Golf re-skinned into Chernarus Police colours. Something more modern than the clapped out VAZ. A simple skin would be good enough but working siren and lights for both the Golf and VAZ would be great.

[blackhawkdown]

hello! i was wondering do any of you modders have been working on putting US Army units in arma 2? is anyone doing this? either way could someone help me out? its a pretty easy task the marines are identical in every way but camo. all you would need to do is change the camo to acupat.
but i assure you it would be a major hit if you released it on armaholic! again all you would need is just a rifle man, a grenadeer, a corpsman, a team leader and a officer. the task is to just change the textures or in this case camo from Marpat to acupat. i assure you the guns, and armor are both the same. simpily the camo is all the differance? can someone make my little fantasy a reality? or can someone tell me if they are working on it?

if i must do it myself, (i wont even release it it would be so bad) what programs could i use?

its really easy, everythings practically done, but all that needs to be done is a simple camo change.

i cant mod for my life btw....

Anyway it would be awesome if there was an addon that just adds quick selections for the diffrent teams you can assign to your groups Eg Red, Blue, white etc.
Ive looked all over the control scheeme and havnt found anything there.

I think that this would help alot when your trying to manage a larger force during example an Warfare map. I tried to command a tank a chopper and some troops at the same time and lets just say the crew in the tank dissmounted and the chopper flew in to some trees and died horribly hehe.

If there already is such a quick select in the control scheme ignore this post and please tell me were it is ^^

hi guys, i am very new to arma and i was wondering if anyone was thinking of making or already working on an R.A.F Tornado. It is an amazing aircraft and it would be realy cool to have it in Arma 2. Here is a link to a picture of it.

A request for Mandoble to come back to A2 and port his Mando Missiles and Mando Bombs PLEASE.

For those of you that have never experienced what Mando can do - he is an Arma GURU !

EDIT : As a personal edit I've been semi-successful at transferring over both these things. There are some serialisation errors in the rpt and also some dialog problems. Apart from changing some class names they all work !

It REALLY needs mandoble to do his thing though

[ninjaklan]

Few ideas, I would like to see

1. Humvee's that look like they are operating in a war zone and not like they just came out of factory. I always hated the new&unused look on all arma(2) vehicles :P Somebody made 3 types of Range Rover Defenders for Arma1 and those looked so cool with all the details. A humvee thats scratced, maybe little dirty, backpacks at the back, tags and insignias on the doors...maybe it sounds excessive but it would be fun&realistic

I would love to have ARMA1 marines ported to ARMA2...

[Mudkip]

I want to play the campaign in slow motion! I've played around with SetAccTime in the editor and it's really fun. I pretty much want SetAccTime but in like a .pbo file.

Is is possible? If it is, how could I make one? Thanks!

Oh Jeebus ... please leave this game IMMEDIATELY !

These weren't all my ideas, its about 10 others ideas when we were drinking....so just shut it... ;)

[OChristie]

@<hidden>

Acutally your ideas would add a more interesting aspect to the game :)

[sniper.kill]

we should have a addon so we can actualy use a tourch on a weapom

i dont think this is possible but it would be realy awsome if there ware physics like crysis

[RiCHArd_SAS]

@<hidden>

Cheers I think so to :)

Be a change from the same situation over an over, be fun to try my ideas instead of the usual shiz all the time :p

[INVICTUS]

Please make a mod where the grass effects the IA. So you can hide etc.. The current game state is very unrealistic unless the AI are T1000 Terminator robots....

Thanks

[Mavis130]

hey, I think this could have been said already (I don't have time right now to look through all of the posts... sorry) yet I would like to say this for anyone who hasn't said it.

Zombies... I tried a zombie mod for OFP:R and it was perfect for the game engine. I think it would be just as great (if not better) for ArmA 2... I mean who doesn't love zombies (except for the crappy movies about zombies...)

Another small addon I would like to see would be an AN-94 "Abakan" rifle, it is used by the real Spetznaz and is a cool gun that I would think would add to the atmosphere of intense battles between special forces squads (you know, the demoralizing sound of those 2 round bursts).

Alright, not sure if this is possible but figured I'd throw it out there.

I Realize that Triple Head is the way to go for multiple monitors, it's just not in the cards for me any time soon. However, I did just purchase a new WS LCD, and was wondering if the following could even be done.

When I searched, someone had mentioned it for Arma I, but no one really responded to it (bad sign?)

Basically I will soon have 2 monitors. I plan on running arma II on my new "fancy" monitor, and figured I'd just have system info and teamspeak running on the other monitor.

However, it would be nice if I could have the map screen up on my other monitor, with compass/gps displayed. I'd figure you would still use the "M" key to toggle over to the other screen and do things on the map.

I can already see running into some problems (for me at least):

1) The resolution I plan to run A2 @<hidden> isn't supported on my old monitor.
2) Similar to 1, but different aspect ratio on each monitor (4:3 old, 16:9 new)
3) I'm sure there are more I'm not thinking of...

Anyways, just thought I'd throw it into the mix. Any of the smart guys in here have an idea as to whether or not this is even plausible?

[Xtreme1989]

A) Paintball Mod

I think a paintball mod would be nice :p I sometimes go paintballing myself, it's very fun and needs teamwork if you want to win :)

This could be fun for multiplayer, for example :

2 teams start on the opposite side somewhere on a small map with in the middle a medium sized round fortress. Then they need to fight several rounds :

1) Team vs Team
2) Defend the fortress (one team starts in the fortress)
3) Defend the president (both teams have a president and need to get to the other team's starting point)
4) Deathmatch

Ow .. and as we play paintball, if someone gets hurt he needs to put his arms in the air and walk to the start point of his team and wait a minute or even wait the entire round until next round starts. (I think this animation is possible in arma -> The surrender animation for example could be used)

And the overall score makes the winning team :)

B) Hunter mod

I recently played The hunter (http://www.thehunter.com/pub/) (it's a free game and very nice !!) and it would be so much fun if we could have some hunting rifles and especially extra animals to hunt at in arma :D Anybody ever played the game carnivores ? It's a hunting game where you hunt dinosaurs ... can you imagine a T-rex in arma2 :D It would be so much fun !!!!!!!!

C) Aliens mod

Title says it all, Aliens like in the alien films (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6BTATuEcdU) or something like starship troopers (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWhrGGrs3Ow). That would also be so much fun because they move very quick so you have to aim fast and shoot good. And maybe a possible addon to make a sentry gun or something to help defend ^^

---

I think the above suggested mods are possible to make and I would try to do it all myself, I currently have lot's of time but my knowledge of arma is very very limited :-(

ps: Sorry for my bad english ^^

[belgerot]

I support the hunter mod!!:D

Airport tow tractor hitch capability....I know there was an attempt for OFP to get this to work but I don't believe it ever functioned properly.

I would love to see the tow tractors be able to hitch to the front of aircraft, and have a realistic degree of movement in order to taxi aircraft to the runway as well as back them into hangars...

Thanks, and keep up the great work guys

SU25t, All you need to do is swap the 4 guided missiles on the current model to be the Vikhir tubes off the KA52. Easy, and it improves its anti tank capabilities no end.
