BD Tracer Lights
This fairly simple addon adds appropriately colored light sources to tracers to enhance night combat. The color and intensity of the light is determined by the config properties of the ammunition. This addon also works with the NVG only tracers on the light machineguns; these tracers emit a very dim light that is barely visible, but can be clearly seen through night vision.
Note: please see the Requirements section of the readme before attempting to use this addon.

Description:
===========
This fairly simple addon adds appropriately colored light sources to tracers to enhance night combat. The color and
intensity of the light is determined by the config properties of the ammunition. This addon also works with the NVG
only tracers on the light machineguns; these tracers emit a very dim light that is barely visible, but can be clearly
seen through night vision.
Configuring Tracer Lights:
--------------------
BD Tracer Lights use only the default tracer-related config tokens. The only thing to note is that the color of the
light is defined by the 'tracerColor[]' property, which is otherwise not used. Because of this, the addon also contains
a config that corrects the tracerColor for all BIS ammo with tracers.
Known Issues:
============
On weapons with automatic reload, if the last round is a tracer the light may not be applied.
Multiplayer:
===========
The effects of this addon are client-side only. It requires no installation on the server, but only clients with the
addon installed can see the effects.
Expansions:
===========
Should be compatible with Operation Arrowhead (including BAF) and Combined Operations (ArmA 2 + OA).
Note: please see requirements for more info.
Requirements:
===============
THIS ADDON REQUIRES BUILD 74094 OF OA OR GREATER
Specifically, this change:
[73642] New: event handler "fired" returns magazine name and object of projectile.
This means this addon WILL NOT WORK in regular ArmA 2 unless/until this change is added in a future patch.
THIS ADDON REQUIRES EXTENDED EVENTHANDLERS
This addon should also be compatible with any other addons provided they don't interfere with the XEH stuff.

Perfect! We had that in ACE1 for Arma2 and i miss it, never knew why i had not made it in to ACE2.
Marek Spanel: [...] Every single element is well taught so that it fits together. So this is a significant change, because with ArmA 1 it was just random, really.
We made some units because we had to. There wasn't much passion from our side with the first ArmA, to be honest. This time it's different. (Videogamer.com Interview
