TALIBAN! TALIBAN! TALIBAN!!!

[walker]

Hi all

To Miles Teg: Have you tested this with ACE?

I seem to be having a bug where the Taliban do not show up in the editor if the Ace MOD is loaded as well.

Probably something I am doing.

Great MOD much needed.

Kind Regards walker

Why have you included 148mb worth of Vilas weapons addon with your Taliban units?

Don't you know that you do NOT include extra addons (with the few exceptions of tiny extended eventhandlers maybe). Please with possible next update make the release properly. If you need any help about releasing, don't hesitate to contact me as I'm willing to help.

I did that mainly because everytime I didn't include 3rd party addons, I'd always get a ton of emails by people complaining that the addon didn't work either because they didn't read the readme or because they downloaded the wrong version, etc..etc...
If anyone's having trouble downloading them, I can post a version without the Vilas East Weapons.

Someone mentioned something about the ACE issue...that might have to do with the event handlers. If someone wants to help me make these guys ACE compatible (without screwing up the voices) that would be excellent. I will make them ACE compatible in the next version and probably add a few more units and maybe a vehicle of some sort.

That is just absolute nonsense.

Its been a known fact since early days of OFP not to include unneeded stuff in your addon release. If your addon references other addons, then user needs to download/have those to use yours, simple.

It&#39;s not nonsense. ***That&#39;s the way "this" mod was made. ***If you don&#39;t like it, don&#39;t install it. ***You say it&#39;s not needed but obviously LoBo thinks differently. ***I&#39;m happy that somebody finally made Taliban type enemy. ***I haven&#39;t looked at the weapons yet but they shouldn&#39;t be carrying Ak-74&#39;s since the ammo isn&#39;t readily available. Ak-47 type weapons and ammo are in plentyful, same with Rpg-7&#39;s.

Very impressive peeps.

Yeah, like you said, it&#39;s not nonsense. From past experience it was a pain in the ass dealing with all the, "THE ADDON DOESN&#39;T WORK" because they either didn&#39;t download the 3rd party addons (cuz they didn&#39;t look at the readme or other info) or because they downloaded the wrong version of the 3rd party addon.

As far as the AK74, the only unit with one is the Taliban Shaykh who has a AK74SU because that is the prefered weapon of Osama Bin Laden. It&#39;s like a status symbol thing. The ammo for it is still around, but yeah its hard to come by and expensive. But the Shaykh&#39;s followers do whatever it takes to get him that ammo as he&#39;s their spiritual leader.
Everyone else has AK-47&#39;s, AKM&#39;s, SVD&#39;s, and PKM&#39;s.

I&#39;m glad you included the extra addons or whatever I&#39;m fed up with having to click on individual addons to dl etc i just want it all in one nice download like it is here. Come on interent connections are alot faster now we can all DL a bit extra cant we whats the point of having to click on loads of DL&#39;s much better this way I think.

@ Chris

Looks like some outstanding work&#33; Once they work with ACE it will be no doubt one of the most used OPFor units. If you have version that does not require the Villa Weapons PBO, I would certain enjoy seeing and using that one as well. It would allow some more flexibility among mission makers. I can&#39;t wait to hear thier speech.

@ Other

There is pros and cons to have to download the Villas Weapons Pack. Some may find it convient to get both at once other like myself may already have the download.
