P:UKF Weapons Pack.

Weapons Pack, V1.1

Following on from our addon releases last month, Project: UK Forces are back with another series of exciting updates! This time around we have versions of the long-anticipated update to the UK Weapons pack for both ArmA 2 standalone, and Operation Arrowhead/ArmA 2: Combined Operations.

The major changes are the addition of rifles with the latest accessories for operations in Afghanistan including the new picatinny rail platform, and an ACOG scope provided by panda_pl and scubaman3D from the ACE mod. There are also some weapons fitted with a Surefire FA556-212 suppressor, as used by Special Forces Support Group. Other changes include improvements to the rvmats to utilise ArmA 2's DX9 "super-shaders" and detail maps, the weapons now also have shadow LODs and some of the lighting problems on the models have been fixed.

The pack contains a General Purpose Machine-Gun and nineteen SA80 variants; with numerous variations on the L86A2 Light Support Weapon, L85A2 Individual Weapon and L22A2 Carbine, including different sight configurations and blank-firing adaptors for training scenarios. The UKF weapons pack is a comprehensive collection of modern British small-arms, suitable for almost all players' needs.

Functionality wise, we have adapted the scripts from AAW's weapon pack with norrin's permission, to allow players to use the peep-sights on top of the SUSAT, and the Docter red-dot sight on the ACOG. We have also included handanim switching for the L123A2 UGL and bipod deployment for the LSW and GPMG; a feature you will have seen demonstrated on the L115A3 addon released a few weeks ago.

The Operation Arrowhead version utilises the new weapon features added in the expansion such as: Thermal imaging maps, native sight-switching support, IR laser pointers and visible light torches. In the OA version, BIS' native support for sight switching has allowed us to adapt sight-switching script from the ArmA 2 version to control the Laser/Light Module attachment, allowing players to use both features on one weapon.

Speaking of the L115A3, we have made an update to fix the lack of a working bolt animation for the weapon. Follow the link for more info.

We have also created an update of UKF_Shared and UKF_Misc to fix a couple of file-allocation errors that were present in the previous release of the Land Rovers and Jackals.

If you downloaded these addons previously, it is very important that you update UKF_Shared and UKF_Misc to V1.12

P:UKF would like to thank Steve from VOLCBAT and Sabre for the accompanying screenshots.

Click for Original Release.

Thank you pathy. They are very beautiful. Just a question, will LMG will be included somewhere around the future?

Thanks. I'm not planning on updating these at all, no. The BIS LMG should tide you over till someone makes a Para-stock one, anyway.

Roger that. I'm sorry to report an issue, sound for bullet crack wasnt there. I hope it's just a quick fix in the config somewhere. Reloading sound also missing. Just test with l85a2. Though

Reloading sound I can live with, but supersonic crack, I think will be abit weird not having those.

Thanks for these again:

edit:

Just noticed the 'as is' statement. I wish you all the best, and big THANK YOU from me.

Regards

I get a supersonic crack at my end. Hold Alt, rotate your camera round to the front, and try firing off some rounds. It's 100% certain it's there. Are you running any sound mods that might mess it up? Curious though, I just turned on fraps and it stopped the bullet crack. Turn off fraps, and the crack is back. Hmm.

Thats what I did, rotate thing. Though I do played with vop_sound on. Will test without

[edit] the test was inconclusive, I think the rifle sound sink the crack sound, because I test it with BIS weapons, I can barely hear the crack myself. so need to test it in a firefight.

I suspect it's a non issue afterall :D

[edit2]

It is a non issue afterall

Thanks Pathy, testing now.

Cheers for this Pathy, especially in light of what's happened. These weapons do look top quality too, definitely an addon worth downloading.

Very nice work :)

Excellent work been waiting for this for a while now, Brilliant. Ive got the British-RMC-V1.3, just a quick question when i make a scenerio my troops still are armed with american weapons, am i doing something wrong, i can get the Brit weapons from a crate and arm myself, just im working on a scenerio, excuse the noob questions but how can i get my Royals to start with the SA80 ETC. Thanks

You need to use the removeallweapons then the addmagazine and addweapon commands, try searching and asking in the editing section of the forums.

On topic: it's a shame Cougar's units have a dodgy bug with the head when looking around or using the GPMG iron sights.

Thanks Daniel, will sort it, now i know. Great mod
