7th Cav Mod Pack (Community compilation)

[thebonecollector]

The 7th cavalry mod team has been working on a cohesive mod pack since over a month. The goal was to increase the quality of our game play while remaining in a stable environment.

It is to be noted that some mod were tweak out or fixed to cover our needs.
The mods themselves belong to the creators, we just compiled them into one package, please keep this in mind while using this software. We take no credit for anything done, other than what we had to do to ensure compatibility across all addons.

We are releasing this pack publicly to give back to the community.If I forgot anyone in that list I’m extremely sorry contact me and I will add you ASAP. Tweak were made to certain mod to fit our game play.

Here a preview video of a past version.

In short the main features are in very quick list:
new vehicle m1a1/t80/t90/t72/bradley/m6 linebacker/m113/m163/chinook/littlebird/apache/havoc/kiowa
ai tweak
maps
flares and gameplay tweak
visual tweak

Basically we took the best that could contribute to a cav unit and realism is our focus.

sry...uhm....I have already got several of the above listed mods...then?what if I bring this?sry,eh

Depending in the order you start up the mod some will override the other mods

But some of the mods have been tweaked out for exemple we don't use all of the slx and the wounding system have been tweaked out to have no blinking and we putted the heavenly damage level ratio higher.

like "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2\arma2.exe" -mod=mod1;mod2;mod3 -nosplash

mod1 getting loaded first. The mod pack itself have been tested under stress and we ensure that the mods work together and have no conflicts

hi thanks for all the effort to make sush a nice pack, but i have some questions:
Is the Community based addon not needed (or integrated) for this pack?
Are there no soundmods in the pack ?
Is the pack self extracting ?
What about the mod line do you have to make it yourself, it must become quite long if you use them all.
And do you have a ready made map mack that we can use?

[JumpingHubert]

a soundmod would be nice. Vop for example.

[Kiptanoi]

Not so good installer, it does not support Arma II from steam. =/

[Battlesign]

I love compilation mods. Thx for the hard work in putting it together and releasing it for the community.

EDIT: Sry Im new, but is this for SP and MP?

At this time we didn't add the sound pack even If I have a signed version on stand by we might include it at some point.

http://www.filedump.ca/mod/@<hidden> (no installer made for that one yet)

The pack is self extracting.

There are no need to create any launch line a shortcut will be created.

Community addons is required by some of the mods used and included in the pack.

As for maps , I will release an update for the mod pack soon, and will see about including our domination version for the mod pack

[Keshman]

There are missions for this MOD ?:rolleyes:

I am on windows 7 x64, and Arma 2 from steam.

(Used my steam backup process to install my games from steam. I did not downloaded the game at this point, I had one backup on all my steam games, maybe that backup installer from steam is the bad guy here?)

[Christian.1987]

Nice "Mod" Pack, but the Installer (.exe) is bad.

[thebonecollector]

I also added the domination map

Nice man, I am looking forward to download it when ready.

[Scruffy]

Aloha :)

I see you use my GUI pack. Depending on what parts you use from it, also try PROPER addons as a supplement and instead of my chat fix (if used) get the one by Deadfast. Read the first post in the thread for my GUI pack, link is in my sig.

As another recommendation, look at ZGubas gameplay modifications, search for it.

[JumpingHubert]

are there plans to include a soundmod..?

I need to sit down with command about it

[AntalopeAUT]

pleeeeaaaassssseeee xD
I personally think that Sound of War Mod might fit reallywell into that whole package (since its having some very impressing features: audible overpressure shocks from standing too close to firing tanks and/or impacting projectiles and such^^)

would be nice to hear soon about a decision^^ (hinthint)
