VILAS addons release thread

[vilas]

thanx, i will fix it (cause soon there will be update of P85)

[GD Mast]

Wanted to try this mission out. Operation Iron Prison I have all of the required addons but...

I'm getting this error message at start up. Addon 'Vilas_Weapons_Update' requires addon 'VILAS_RW_Forces'. Any idea where I can download this?

Vilas, Id be happy to help test out mate.

[vilas]

regarding tests:
I would be happy if you could provide tests on following addons (before I will "annouce them" to Armaholic, ArmaInfo, here again) :
- Polish modern forces
- P85 vehicles, cars, config
the more bugs found now,the less bugs in "release"
1) Polish forces addon, huge file, 400 MB 7Zip ( http://www.armaholic.eu/vilas/vilas_npl_a2.7z )which contains:
forces of any kind, including paramedic units, civilian cars (Kia Ceed, Fiat Ducato, Opel Vivaro, VW Transporter etc.)
http://www.createforum.com/vilas/vie...0&mforum=vilas
wiki pics : http://www.createforum.com/vilas/vie...1&mforum=vilas

this update will be step forward comparing to previous version - backpacks + FLIR + damage wheels , so now all cars, trucks, most of APCs should have wheels damaged like in Arma2,
FLIR should work on vehicles, soldiers, backpacks should work
check if units work in editor, if addon works without problems
new content is big list, mostly new modern cars, updating old cars (reworked dashboards), few modern trucks, few logistics apc more (medevac, hq) but most time i spent on backpack ability, flir, damage-system, but still police-lightbars not work, if anyone knows how to make them wink please tell me

2) P85:
P85 also get damage wheel system like Arma2 , plus addon of vehicles was divided , splited,
now P85 vehicles is military-vehicles addon, and old poor models of civilian cars are moved to (should be) self-standing addon P85_cars
so wiki is here (of V, not of Cars) http://www.createforum.com/vilas/vie...d&mforum=vilas (it doesnt contain last additions like PSZH, MTLBU, LR Serie3, civilian cars)
so 3 files are updated at the moment:
p85 config, p85_v, p85_cars
http://www.armaholic.eu/vilas/85temp/p85_config_a.7z
http://www.armaholic.eu/vilas/85temp/p85_v_a.7z
http://www.armaholic.eu/vilas/85temp/p85_cars.7z
of course new vehicles yet are not under "national packs" , so they are "empty" or "BIS crew", of course for "release" it will be crewed by soldiers from P85

note for not-testers, this is not release-anounce, it is just "public test" because i have no time to check all by myself, when bugs will be listed, i will try to fix them and then i will make "release" on Armaholic, ArmaInfo and here it is just "another test version"

P85 grows and will live till my PC works P85 gets damage wheels system like Arma2 has, it gets many fixes when it comes to damage-effects, geometry lod etc. also i try to replace old poor content with new, better models (like i did with civilian cars)

full P85 update will be also update of "troops packs" (new config , adding crewed new vehicles)
new military content in P85 is:
Unimogs (416, 1300L), MTLBU (HQ), PSZH (Hungarian/Czechoslovak APC , armed with KPVT, turret version of unarmed FUG OT65 know from OFP , the OT-66, for Nogova faction, cause Nogovians already have FUG in P85, as my tribute to OFP and OFP:RES), Landrover Serie 3 (1976-1985, cause Defender was too modern for 1985), UAZ 452 Ambulance,
P85 civilian cars update: civilian cars which were in previous versions (since Arma1, Wartburg 353, Lada 2101, Fiat 125, FSO Polonez, Nysa van, Zuk farmer's van) now get new models, new textures, new materials and new colour versions + added few new civilian vehicles like more Ladas (2105, 2107 now only white version, but there will be 2-3 colors more)+militia/ambulance versions
most of update time i spent is making damage system work like it should + tests if after damage "vehicle looks burned" , so there is not much added, but much updated and fixed

vilas, thanks for your work!
After small test i can say that game crashes when i use Fiat 125 and Jeep CJ5 in editor.

Vilas not sure if you already fixed this since your last Polish modern forces release but enemy IFV were using their machinegun on Rosomaks instead of their main gun,for example Bmp2 used mg instead of its 30mm gun against them.I think Rosomaks weren't classed as wheeled armor like Strykers or BTR-90,but I'm not sure.

[GossamerSolid]

Found a couple things:

- 3rd person view for Scorpian and Schimitar is off to the side, not centered
- The Jeep Willys series bounces a bit up and down when it drives

all other old files deleted ?
you should now have:
- p85_v.pbo, p85_config.pbo, p85_c.pbo, p85_cars_cfg.pbo and troops, weapons
old config and old v must be overwritten, that old model wont make problems

Rosomak issue - i will check why enemy use MG instead of cannons , hmmm, strange, cause they should be as Stryker or BTR90 ingame

Willys - thanx , i will change dampers

[viysahno]

Yes, i removed old files.
And this cars don't work... (Also i can't use civil transport module, because one of this two cars can be placed on map by module)

[vilas]

hmmm and VAZ 2101, 2105, 2107, Polonez, Wartburg works okay ? strange cause first time i hear that Fiat not works (Topas loves Fiat , so he tested it as first car)
but which model not works ? chromed (green, yellow) , Militia, or plastic (red, grey) ?
cause in p85_cars there are 3 models and several colors of Fiat
i wonder if there can be possibility that other file interrupt, cause changes after update are:
- moved from P85_V to P85_C following cars: Wartburg, Lada, Fiat, Polonez, Nysa, Zuk,
class name "p85_fiat" "p85_lada" are the same , but they are in config of "p85_cars" not "global config"
all Militia, AMbulance works for you ?
of course i will test them again on my PC, but if Lada 2105 works, than those Fiats should work too , as they inherit from class "_fiat"
i will check model from different LODs to see it
