Known bugs:

- HE ammo tends to use particle effects of bigger tank shell or bomb explosion. I have no idea why.

edit: Until I fixed the main bugs, I don't want to make a key. So sorry for that.

Congrats to your release mate. If I hear right I guess you have only one sounds defined in your config? Why no using all four sounds? Would give it a dynamic audio feel.

All the best!

That's actually a mistake I just saw now. Thanks.

Edit: v0.2 out now, please download again.

Hey Phoenix. I just wanted to let you know that buckshot loads will put all pellets inside of a man sized target up to 25 yards, and most pellets will still be on target out to 50 yards. I noticed in your video that the pellet spread had most pellets off target already at around 10 yards.

Yeah, I do know this. I know how to write down the parameter, but don't understand the theory behind this values yet. But I will definitely update this in the next version.

Working on the M1014 I took the values from Arma 2, Did you do something similar?

I made them up by myself, but maybe you want to PM me how it is coded in A2? Still looking for the right values for airFriction and indirectHit.....

cfgmagazines

	class 8Rnd_B_Beneli_Pellets: CA_Magazine
{
	scope = 2;
	displayName = "8Rnd. M1014 Pellets";
	ammo = "B_12Gauge_Pellets";
	count = 8;
	initSpeed = 396;
	picture = "\CA\weapons\data\equip\M_12gauge_CA.paa";
	descriptionShort = "Caliber: 12 gauge <br/>Rounds: 8 Pellets<br/>Used in: M1014";
	displayNameShort = "Pellets";
};

cfgammo

	class B_12Gauge_Pellets: BulletBase
{
	simulation = "shotSpread";
	hit = 6;
	indirectHit = 0;
	indirectHitRange = 0;
	cartridge = "FxCartridge_slug";
	cost = 2;
	typicalSpeed = 400;
	visibleFire = 18;
	audibleFire = 18;
	airFriction = -0.005;
	caliber = 0.5;
};

Check out allinone configs, makes life a helluva lot easier.

PS: The shooting sounds from video seem to have a very artifical echo to it, like it´s being fired in a corrugated sheet metal firing range :confused:

Thanks. I'm still trying out the "fireSpreadAngle=3;" config line, but it seems that it does not work.

fireSpreadAngle=3; // Value for shotgun ammo (Arrowhead) with defined simulation=shotSpread; Number defines half of spread angle in degrees. Shot is simulated by 9 bullets which trajectory and damage is calculated for each separately (hit, indirectHit). If target is hit by complete buckshot, damage is 9x.

This is what I do have now.

class 7Rnd_12gauge_pellets: B_556x45_Ball

       {
visibleFire = 22;
audibleFire = 22;
airFriction = -0.004;
          hit = 10;
maxSpeed=365;
          simulation = "shotSpread";
fireSpreadAngle=4;
       }; 

If it helps, this is what I use.

class CfgAmmo
{
class BulletBase;
class B_12Gauge_Pellets: BulletBase 
{
	airfriction = -0.005;
	audiblefire = 18;
	caliber = 0.5;
	cartridge = "FxCartridge_slug";
	cost = 2;
	hit = 6;
	indirecthit = 0;
	indirecthitrange = 0;
	simulation = "shotSpread";
	typicalspeed = 400;
	visiblefire = 18;
};
};

class cfgMagazines
{
       class CA_Magazine;
class M1014_Buck: CA_Magazine
{
	ammo = "B_12Gauge_Pellets";
	count = 8;
	descriptionshort = "Caliber: 12 gauge <br/>Rounds: 8 Pellets<br/>Used in: M1014";
	displayname = "8Rnd. M1014 Pellets";
	displaynameshort = "Pellets";
	initspeed = 396;
	picture = "\CA\weapons\data\equip\M_12gauge_CA.paa";
	scope = 2;
};
};

Mhyeah.... I see that there isn't any angle of the spread. Have to check that later.

Started reworking the model as you can see on the barrel, stock, RIS rails and front ironsight.

It looks like there's a "GestureReloadM4SSAS" defined, and made by BIS, which could be used for the reload animation; would probably look better, as it seems to be meant as a reload of some shotgun.

totally looking forward to this being released (:

keep it up!

Well. I wasn't really pleased with the old model. It was already triangulated, so uv-mapping this was a pain in the back.

Decided to make a whole new one but this time not a Remington 870 MCS due to the lack of good photos.

It's a Benelli M3, and as it turns out, that was a great idea!

Very pleased until now.

ps: I'm going to edit the first post in this thread. Developing the 870 MCs, wasn't for the bin, I'll keep all configs at hand and use them for the Benelli.
