Hi all, Perhaps I missed something, but, for whatever reason, it's impossible to make difference between sides or factions for an OPFOR Katiba and a BLUFOR MX . So weapons haven't side. I never found something useful in cfgWeapons to make a filter for faction, side, even group or unit using such or such weapon. I imagine that if you want to filter all BLUFOR used weapons for arsenal or any loot script, you have to grave in marble the array of all weapons you want to manage... Typically, that's what I want to avoid: elaborating fixed lists for any mods... boring! So If you have a solution... thanks for sharing it. At this time, I have a little workaround, not the best I'm afraid. If you want weapons used by BLUFOR: private _wpnsWestList = []; private _cfgMen = "getNumber (_x >> 'scope') >=2 && configName _x isKindOf 'SoldierWB'" configClasses (configFile >> "cfgvehicles"); { _cfgWpnsW = getArray (_x >> "weapons"); {if (getNumber (configfile >> "cfgWeapons" >> _x >> "type") in [1,2,4]) then {_wpnsWestList pushBackUnique _x}} forEach _cfgWpnsW; } forEach _cfgMen; _wpnsWestList = _wpnsWestList - ["B_Patrol_Soldier_HeavyGunner_weapon_F"]; Note: I was surprised to find such unit classes like "B_Patrol_HeavyGunner_F" and its "B_Patrol_Soldier_HeavyGunner_weapon_F" as primary weapon which is a simple "LMG_Zafir_F". Don't ask me why this exception... For OPFOR, anyway, change 'SoldierWB' to 'SoldierEB' (and remove the last line of course) , and for INDEP, 'SoldierGB' will do the trick. Any improvement or better idea is welcome! Thanks

Hi fellas, I've been scratching my head over these for a while now and not getting any closer to figuring out what's going on. I've tried the Discord a few times, but I think these questions may be a bit lengthy for that and haven't gotten any responses! Situation: finalising adding pylons and associated scripting for our modpack's helicopters, and these differ from vanilla helos in that: a) they may have both a pilot and gunner controlling pylon weapons simultaneously (rather than all pylons controlled by one or other), and b) who controls each particular pylon varies between different presets of the same vehicle. First issue: a "SAFE" weapon that we include as the first weapon for all vehicles vanishes ONLY IF the pylon loadout is altered in the mission editor. So, we have fairly standard SAFE weapon added as the initial weapon for both pilot and gunner. The weapon is defined with a magazine name that doesn't exist, and when we specify the magazines[] for the vehicle we just include nothing - so the players see a read "SAFE" weapon with no rounds that they have to swap off to actually fire anything. Having added pylons to the helicopters, these still work just fine upon loading into a mission. HOWEVER, if I alter the pylon loadout in the editor at all (via the vehicle's attributes pane, and simply swapping one ammo-type for another ammo-type for the same weapon for the pilot, for instance), then both the pilot and the gunner don't have the SAFE weapon show up any more - their initial weapon is the next in the list/first pylon, and cycling through all weapons reveal it's missing. Has anyone else experienced this, or have an idea what might be causing it? I've checked other mods out and they don't seem to encounter the issue, but I can't spot anything in their configs that reveals an obvious difference. The only workaround I can think of is to rip all weapons off on spawn and then re-add them as well as the static weapons/magazines as part of the init... but this is obviously not a great solution and also runs into the second issue. Second issue: I cannot find a reliable method via scripting to determine which seat controls which pylon station. As an example, if the vehicle's default loadout has the pilot controlling two wingtip stations and the gunner controlling two inboard stations, then if this is changed in the editor so that actually they've swapped so the pilot controls the inboard stations and the gunner the wingtip stations then I can't see any way to find this information out. As I'm trying to finalise the in-mission rearming GUI for pylons, this means that currently I have to try and guess who controls which pylon initially (to pre-set the ownership options on loading the GUI) and then store that in a custom variable after this to facilitate behaviour for the rest of the mission. It also means that I can't accurately workaround the first issue by removing and re-adding weapons/magazines due to not know the actual order to reattach them in to retain all the same animation/behaviour. It also means that the guessing function is a bloody awful nest of loops and array comparisons, with lots of checks to ensure the totals match after each step etc. Is anyone able to offer insight into either of these points? If more convenient, I'm available to chat via Discord or TS - just let me know ☺️

There has been a problem with crafting guns that take more than 20 minutes to complete on my account. One gun in specific is the ADR-97. Whenever I craft this gun and this has been a problem since I reached level 13, the weapon starts to craft, but then when I close the Vigor game app for more than ten minutes the weapon disappears as if I haven't done anything and all the materials used in the crafting process leave also. This is a fundamental but very serious bug or glich that needs urgent attention.

Hi all Im trying to find the balliostic properties of a sniper rifle from a user created addon, in order to use it properly with ace advanced ballistics. I'm not sure it's modelled on real world stats so I need to look at the relevant file. Could someone please explain how and where I need to look Many thanks CW

I’ve had this issue a few times and it is becoming very frustrating and causing me to lose matches. I get into a gun fight and get wounded, I find cover to heal, get back into the fight only to find that the weapon I had been previously fighting with has been switched to my sniper rifle?! Obviously not ideal for a close quarters battle, considering I had a sub machine gun equipped before healing!! 😡😡😡 I’ve been gunned down three times so far due to this issue, both in solo and duos. Also on different maps.

MAGAZINES REPACK Hi all, Here is a simple script for repacking magazines by double-clicking on them in inventory. Just add it in init.sqf or better, in initPlayerLocal.sqf parameters: NONE MODIFIED 01/11/19 Have fun!

Promotional leaflet We present you the newest novelty toy from the remote island republic that normally you'd associate with cheap reasonably priced electronics - airsoft gun replicas! Aimed at adults and children of all ages*, airsoft gun replicas provide realistic military fun compared to no other toy. Republic of Folk Airsoft replicas provide: A collection of realistic looking gun replicas Both realistic and high capacity magazines A pack of safe to play 6mm plastic pellets * Safety hazard: never aim your airsoft replica at other people nor animals! Details Currently Republic of Folk Airsoft provides two vanilla guns converted into airsoft replicas: P90 SMG and P99 pisol. They fire visible pellets at muzzle velocity of 350fps, have almost no recoil and are accurate at the distance up to 35 meters (60 if you aim high). Ammo comes in two versions - lethal and non-lethal. The latter one requires some scripting on mission maker's side in order to do anything (or not, maybe your Milsim group can use these for training 😁) Links Try our official airsoft missions! https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1859324690 Steam Workshop: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1846060911 Source code and non-Steam downloads: https://github.com/republic-of-folk/folk-airsoft/releases License Arma Public License Share Alike (APL-SA) MADE IN FOLK

Hi guys: I have been handling the game's most popular addons for a long time, CUP, RHS, SMA, KA, however, I don't think they are very realistic: I mean the weight of weapons, range, recoil, dispersion, impact, types of ammunition Is there any addon that is closer to reality? Many editors and players greatly appreciate the appearance of each weapon, its modeling and termination. This is important, but the rifle's behavior I think is much more.

I am working on a spreadsheet of all stock and mod weapons that I have. Unfortunately there are tons of them, and typing in all these values by hand is quite a pain. I figured there has to be a way I can extract data from converted config.bin files for each weapon. (Spreadsheet would parse through the *.cpp files -- somehow - I don't know how yet). So where I am stuck is... how do I find these values in the config.bin/.cpp (converted) file for example the Khaybar? The values I have used in the spreadsheet are screenshotted, using the ACE virtual arsenal. Where is Range defined? Where is Impact defined? Where is MIL and MOA accuracy defined? Where is weight kg/lbs defined? Where is the ammo type defined? Where is the muzzle velocity in meters/second and feet/second defined? Where is barrel twist and length defined? displayName="$STR_A3_CfgWeapons_arifle_Katiba_F0"; gives me the weapon name, but not in a user-friendly way. How can I find that? Lastly, do any of these numbers have to be multiplied by another number to get the "true" representative number? For example, I see dispersion is for example 0.00145 You'll see in the screenshot below the cheap way I have to figure out range/impact by placing a grid of 10 squares over the graph bars, then deduce from that.

Rather than continuing to release Spearpoint as a monolithic mega-mod, I'm breaking it down to enable faster updates and to give players the customisation to create a set up that suits their group (in the same vein as 3CB and others). This post details the weapons packs of this mod. Coming soon: Fully featured FN Fal & more Latest release: L2 Sterling SMG Get it now on Steam Workshop The L2, ubiquitously known as the "Sterling" after its place of manufacture, is a British submachine gun in service with the British Army from 1953 to 1994. Originally developed by George William Patchett during World War II as a replacement for the Sten gun, the Sterling submachine gun enjoyed post-war success both domestically and internationally. It continues to be used by some police and military forces around the world. First release: Lee Enfield No.4 & L42A1 pack Get it now on Steam Workshop Post WW2 the Lee Enfield became one of the most widely available weapons in the world. Cheap, reliable and accurate, it saw use by nations big and small, insurgencies and police forces and more. Want to keep up to date on all Spearpoint releases?

Hi community! My name is Paul and I am an illustrator, designer and author. I am also an amateur mod maker with ~20 years of experience beginning with Operation Flash-point all those years ago. Over this period of time the mods, maps, utilities, textures, concepts etc., that I have made were downloaded hundreds of thousands of times. This is not me trying to brag but to demonstrate that when I commit to a project I see it through to success. It's been a while since I wanted to commit to such a project and now the time has come. The Eden editor is a fun tool, and so I've come to join all of you. There are two projects I currently have in progress. These projects are very different but serve as a learning environment to develop future goals. Both of these projects use a GUI "toy" which is a major element that I want to incorporate in the final project. Ultimately I'd like to release these projects as "modular plug-ins" (a combination of in-engine assets and the scripts to run them), which fit easily into any existing or future scenarios. Here, my first goal is to post sample missions of the two current projects for others to try out and to show my participation with the community. A long time ago on a NEXUS far-far away I released a mod titled "187gurlz" for Fallout 3. The primary character, named Sasha Ashe, was an ass-kicking wasteland warrior devoted to assisting the player restore hope to the capital waste. The first modular plug-in will be a companion mod very much like the ones we're familiar with for Bethesda games. The first part will be the GUI toy connected to a generic character (which you can assign female assets to if you have them). The second part will be the same with custom assets for the female model. That's where you come in. I need the model assets to make this module stand-alone. Necessary is the Female model/outfits. Potentially custom weapons, too. Download link: SWO Mission Control The balance of flight mechanics in ARMA III, somewhere in the middle between Battlefield and DCS, are very appealing to me. With the same GUI toy philosophy in mind I am creating a mission control interface which can be slotted into any existing and future "flight oriented" scenario. Although I've had success getting all the elements to work, surely my scripting is poorly executed and, if nothing else, not optimized. That's where you come in. If you're interested in examining and potentially editing these scripts I'd be excited to see your feedback. Download link: JET TOYS My intention is to submit these projects to the community as a demonstration of participation and aptitude. And to potentially find like-minded modders of all different skill sets to work on a more ambitious future project. I'm honored to be here among service members, grumpy old men, and some alarmingly proficient computer science majors. Thanks for having me in your community, Paul

1. Fall damage is OP, you jump off a pebble and BOOM... you’re almost half dead already. 2. Weapon Accuracy is dreadful, bullets do not hit efficiently enough especially with a controller. 3. You need to add K/M support for this game. 4. Too many bugs and glitches causing myself and many other VIGOR players to lose all items in game and have to re grind the items over and OVER AGAIN. 5. Every character looks identical to each other. Needs a lot more clothing items in the store. 6. You do not even know who your own team mate is due to lack of HUD, you need to add an Icon above there player to symbolise it’s uour friend and not enemy. 7. Bullets to not shoot properly from a gun and what I actually mean is that when you’re trying to spray your machine gun, only a couple bullets come out and you then have to tap the RT button rapidly as if it’s a single bullet gun. 8. VERY repetitive, needs to add in game events to keep players wanting to play more and not do the same thing which is sprint to the safe house and then sprint to a safe zone and repeat over and over again. 9. WHY IS CROUCHING IN THIS GAME SO DAMN LOUD JESUS. 10. Dev support is ridiculously slow, this game came out in July 2018 and what has happened but add an in game lobby and some guns? Every patch update has done nothing but make the game worse, I’m still finding myself freezing in random spots, server kicks or not being able to use my weapon and die. 11. Add a ranking system so again it’s fun to be able to rank up and see the levels in game lobby. 12. Add some stats so we can actually see how many kills we have made, or how long we’ve walked, how long been playing for ETC... 13. Focus on your player base, I’ve seen soooooooo many players making suggestions or mentioning about bugs and nothing is being done. They’re simple bugs to fix and we’re still facing these every day. 14. Loads more to complain about but I would probably go to 100+ so I’ll leave it here. Feel free to continue this on in the comment section if I have missed anything you guys may be struggling with for this game, I will be adding an IDEA poll soon so once again share some ideas and I’ll add them in.

The effect of weapon on AI accuracy by nkenny Abstract* Testing the effect of weapon on AI accuracy. Introduction The weapon an AI soldier is equipped with greatly affects killing power. Even when the class of weapon is nominally the same, weapon configuration plays enormous part. This is especially evident when similar weapons from different mods are used together. To explore the effect of weapon on AI killing power I built an experimental suite. Experiment The test was conducted while running only CBA, CUP Weapons, RHS Russian Armed Forces and NIArms. The player profile was newly created and no AI skill tweaks were made. Description I placed a single shooter on flat terrain, back turned towards a four man group of enemies. The four man team is concealed from the shooter (his back is turned). Each soldier is identically equipped with no body armour or helmet or weapon. After five seconds the shooter is given a weapon and given perfect information about the enemy. This results in him turning and engaging the enemy. The targets are spaced at two meter intervals and the test was run on a 100m and 200m range (normal combat engagement ranges). Shooter and targets were forced to remain static and remain in a standing position. My point of comparison was the AKM rifle. Ubiquitous in enemy hands and mod packs alike. I provide data for the modern MX rifle with a HAMR RCO as a frame of reference. The exercise is over once three minutes has passed, the shooter has expended all ammunition, or all targets are dead. Measurements are printed on screen and recorded on the clipboard. I paste that information into a document. Measurements I ran the exercise six times with each weapon. While not enough for statistical evaluation, I nonetheless deemed it sufficient to get a sense of the performance characteristics of each weapon. - Hits, each bullet that impacts a target. - Shots fired, maximum is 6 magazines: 180 rounds. - Accuracy, hits divided by shots fired. - Time, time in minutes and seconds. Record After each round I recorded weapon class name, Accuracy, (hits / shots fired) and time. Each measurement is averaged (in red). Expectations Mod configuration will vary somewhat. With CUP weapons being more accurate than RHS counterparts. Data @ 100 Meters Data @ 200 Meters Findings @100 Meters At close range the vanilla AKM and CUP AKM are closely matched. With a slight edge to the vanilla gun. RHS weapons are considerably less accurate than all other counterparts and require four times the amount of time and rounds fired for similar effect. The numbers for the NIArms AKM belie their effect on target. Toadie's AK tended to fire in bursts, but with a highly accurate first shot. In effect the gun killed with the first shot, but burned off a few rounds into the air-- wasting time and bullets. @200 Meters At mid range the differences between the weapons become evident. CUP weapons are almost twice as effective as their vanilla counterpart. RHS weapons are considerably less accurate than the others. Which is not to say ineffective. Rate of fire is high and spread provides greater coverage-- area of fire-- than the other counterparts. As for NIArms: the rifle comparatively is laser accurate, out shooting all other alternatives. Contrasted to RHS it provides almost eight times more killing potential. It even compares favourably to the vanilla MX with a optic. Conclusion Not all AKMs are created equal. The killing potential of each gun varies wildly from mod to mod. The most deadly close quarters AK is the vanilla, while in most combat ranges, the NIArms gun outperforms all other alternatives. One obvious take away is that there are radical differences of capability with two presumably identical weapon systems. This is one reason why I would advice consistency in mod sets. Another is that this vast difference in capability need not match the players performance, expectations and experience, with the same weapon system. In the case of the AKM, I believe most players find them very similar-- aside from minor differences in sight picture and sound. In fact to test that very thing I used the same suite to record my own times. I won't post the results here, but they were largely similar across mods. The test itself remains neutral to the intended design intention of the style of configuration each mod adopts. The comparable lack of accuracy of RHS weapons need not be read as a flaw. There are arguments both from the perspective of realism and game play to prefer less accurate weapons. - Firstly, the sort of 'white room' engagement against a non-responsive, non-moving target is hardly applicable. Handling performance on sterile ranges fail to convey the stress of combat shooting. Most studies into the effect of combat on marksmanship show a massive decrease in effective accuracy. RHS weapons simulate combat shooting, rather than target plinking. - Secondly, more shots fired and fewer one-shot-kills, is generally good for game play. At 100 meters vanilla, CUP and NIArms equipped soldiers can eliminate an inattentive fire team in less than 10 seconds. While demanding some caution is good, such a quick end also means a quick end to the session for the player in question. - Thirdly, RHS comes with an entire dimension of weapons. Accuracy comes with modern quality. A RHS M4A1 is more accurate than an AKM. So is a an AK74. See references. Many communities depress AI accuracy values. The considerable accuracy of CUP and NIArms weapons need not be a flaw. Follow the links in the references and one can see the extreme degradation of accuracy based suppression levels. The considerable default accuracy of vanilla weapons, the presence of multiple stances, all are suggestive of a very specific type of gameplay. Soldiers should be cautious and reveal their positions only momentary. Suppressive fire is very effective. It is more important to suppress all dangerous enemies than it is to pursue time consuming killing shots! When the AI is accused of laser accuracy, it will in some cases be due to failure to adequately suppress-- through fire superiority-- the enemy position. Finally, I suspect, particularly in regards to the user made modifications there are considerably differences. Test are done in different AI setting ecologies-- tweaking AI skill is easily (if somewhat obtusely) done. If I shall brave a conjecture I expect CUP weapons, being added more along open source model will show greater variance in configuration. NIArms weapons are developed with an eye towards delivering an uncompromising experience for the shooter. The AI comes much later. All of this means that mod makers and mission designers must pay attention to the source of the weapons given to the AI. Future tests 1. The same platform can easily be used to test other weapons or family of weapons 2. In the future I would like to test ranges out to 300 and 400 meters** References - Original thread on nopryl.no, further numbers, weapons and experiments are here - Experimental mission, links to mission for your own testing -k * Dear mods: Feel free to move this thread. While relevant to mission makers and mod developers equally. It seems sufficiently meta to concern general players, but it is not pointed enough to belong to the mod discussion forum. ** My initial run with standing RHS weapons yielded one hit across 180 rounds. In other words. If faced by a lone, standing gunman armed with a RHS AKM. At 300+ meters you might as well remain stationary and standing yourself.

Greetings, I have been running a dedicated Arma 3 server for about 10-15 players with 32 mods. I've noticed that players weapons, after they were done firing, would continue to fire. For example, if player X fired down range then holstered his rifle, his rifle would continue to fire for all the other players in the server. This happens when there's 2 or more players on the Zeus server without anything else spawned in. Its more so obnoxious when 10-15 players are in a firefight and there is continuous rifle fire even though the battle has ended and everyone is yelling at each other to stop firing. The players on the server all have a ping of 100m/s or lower. The server specs are decent. I've tried running the server without mods to see if this was a mod related issue but found it continued to persist. I've spoken with another community about this issue and they have also experienced the same problem. Anyone know what might be causing this and if there's a way to fix this?

Iam porting my Napalm mod from Arma2 and require a model and texture guy or gal to handle a couple of small jobs to finish.

Implement attachments to enhance weapon capabilities. Fast mag, stock, extended mag, rapid fire, long barrel, barrel choke, quickdraw, grip, laser light, tactical flashlight, suppresor, high caliber rounds, stabilizer (sniper rifle), just a few examples. All attachments would stay withing context of the game. Nothing unbelievable.

Just collecting classnames and putting it into format for use: ALL CUP Weapons (with attachments): CUP Weapons (without/with very limited Attachments)

The Lowlands Warrior team has decided to start releasing Alpha stage mods in order to get more feedback on the content and maybe encourage more modders to join the team History Back in the early 2000's LLW started as a mod for the original Rainbow Six series, creating a large arsenal of NL Army/Marines weapons. Shortly afterwards they started creating content for Operations:Flashpoint (aka Arma: Cold War Assault) They released a large pack with terrains, vehicles, aircraft, weapons and units which what THE only dutch armed forces mod around at the time. Current plan The LLW team is not as big as in the old days. Many have stopped modding. Although, those who still have a bit of spare time dream about doing what was done before, this time in Arma 3. (Or 4?) Whatever we are creating now will be released here in the following posts. We hope every one will enjoy the mods, even while in early development stage. Website: Going through an overhaul...

For the weapons part, earlier today i was playing with some weapons on the shooting range, I pulled a weapon out it came off my back, I pulled the other one out and I had one in my hands and one on my back. The weapon in my hands and back at the same time was the Mosin. The other weapon I had was the Suomi on my back. To sum it up I had a Suomi and a mosin on my back and another mosin in my hands. Next topic. Reload animations. The silver pigeon has a weird reload where the outlander reloads it like a normal gun, but the gun doesn't move at all so it looks like he is putting invisible shells into an invisible chamber. Going back to the mosin, whenever i was using it at the range, I was in first person, I shot, it did nothing to load the next bullet into the chamber in first person. When I shot in third person though, the outlander pulled the bolt back to load in the next bullet. Next Tag. Ammo glitches. Take for example you take a Suomi to the range, reload it shoot it a couple times, reload it again one last time, then unequip it, the bullets that were in the gun are taken out and put into your inventory. Then you think, why do I have bullets, I took none out of my storage, so you try and put them back into your storage it doesn't work. The first time it happend to me i was confused and thought was my storage full or am i going to lose them when I die in a game? Next Tag. Invisible props. I have searched the entire safe house to see if I could find invisible props, in my head i thought, as you upgrade your safe house, you must get more props or items in it. I looked around and found a invisible barrier, i felt around it with my character and it seemed like it was a door for a later upgrade, if you're wondering where it is, if you look directly at the map and turn right to that doorway, go into the doorway and turn right you will meet the invisible door. I know its not the most important thing to fix before a full release but it would make the game a lot better if there are anymore of those anywhere else. Thank you for reading this and I hope the community and devs can perfect this game. -TheSupremeBread

So how many of us liked the original Black Hornet Nano UAV mod that was entered into the Make Arma Not War contest? I know I was one for sure and I have used it many times building missions or playing single player stuff over the last few years but always end up removing the mod from my missions because of the following things I wanted to see done a little differently. TO DO LIST Be an inventory item IF at all possible; not have to be a part of the UAV backpack. FLIR, NV and DTV views decided to stick with changing views as normal as it would have been a true pain in the butt creating something entirely new for this little bugger. Fast recharge rate; or automatic recharge to simulate replacement of the battery pack. realistic flight time and distance. Easy to interact with and use the vanilla UAV controller. Ability to adjust the colors of the drone in the Editor for usage in various terrains. (Most likely not going to be a priority at all. So going to scrap this portion entirely.) Finally the most important is to update the model of the drone to be similar to the current V3 version that FLIR offers to military and law enforcement groups around the world. So a few weeks ago I reached out to the maker of the original mod. He gave me permission to modify, tweak and otherwise update the mod as necessary. Thanks to him for allowing us to do these things. We hope we can pull off the things we want to do but without the support that he gave us by giving the source files and his permission we would not be as far ahead as we are now. So as of today I can report that we have pushed into the realm of approaching a first release for limited testing. The plan all along has been to update the drone to use some commands to make it an inventory item, recharge automatically, use the vanilla UAV controller and have the realistic flight time and distance. I was able to enlist the help of @toxicsludge to make a terrific 3D and it has turned out to be AWESOME. We are now on the right track testing wise and have identified a few areas of note that are going to be improved upon as soon as possible. As soon as we can it will be released on the Steam Workshop for all to mess around with and have fun. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 16 August 2018: WIP 3D images ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Update 19 August 2018: Got the completed model and it looks AMAZING. The level of detail he put into it is off the charts good for the size that it will end up being. Our team is excited to get this sucker completed and out the door to you guys to play with. Finished model views: EARLY INTERNAL TEST RESULTS ARE IN: How to use the drone: There is no image yet for the drone so it will be a blank spot under miscellaneous items in the editor and you can control it with the vanilla UAV console in game. Use ACE self interaction to place the drone on the ground; then use the UAV console to locate the drone and you can give it waypoints and control that way. Otherwise you will not be able to find the thing in game if you don't use ACE self interact. Couple of known bugs: Weight seems to be causing a problem with flight; it might be way to light since Arma doesn't like objects that are super light. Speed is way off and probably tied to the weight of the item. Should be right at 6m/s (~21kmh) as the max speed but I had it up over 25m/s (~90kmh) yesterday in internal testing. Ability to have autonomous flight is most likely tied to weight and therefore not functioning properly as well since it seems that wind speed affects it. Update 13 March 2019 Name change of the mod. The Black Hornet PRS is the primary focus; just want to add in a couple of other items that will be extremely helpful for the future as well. Working to get an optic in here and available for use. Working on artwork for a change in the UI for the UAV controller screen. Might be able to have a customized version that looks very similar to real life PRS controller.

Dual Arms This is mod that allows use of two primary weapons, one in your main slot one in your launcher slot. Download here! Google Drive link here! Dual Arms relies on eventHandlers to work correctly. The following are used: Killed InventoryOpened InventoryClosed Take Bind UserAction 16 to any key to be able to swap with a key instead of addActions. They have been disabled by default. If using this in a MP scenario or gamemode, you can override my code and set the ability to use addactions and drop the weapon on death. As well as add blocked weapons that will not be able to be added to your launcher slot. What does this mod actually do? I have seen other scripts that claim to do the same thing. This uses your launcher slot, the same that your RPG would go into. There is no attachTo/onEachFrames constantly making sure the weapon is on your back and attached when not in a vehicle. Weights are fully supported, if you have two primary weapons it will slow you down with fatigue. That means you will slow to a crawl with dual SPMGs. Due to the nature if this going into the launcher slot, mods need to be supported for it. Currently the top 20 Weapon mods on steam are supported, the list is on the steam workshop page above. (I also take suggestions on which mods to support with future updates!) Currently 5.7k+ Weapons are supported. If you are playing in a persistent game mode you will need to add some code to your file that saves a player when they disconnect, otherwise the pointer attachment and UGL ammo will not save. Otherwise it will save. Here is a video where you can check it out in action, featuring vehicles as well: The piece of code that will save your players gear in a dedicated MP environment is: (Usually handled by missionEventHandler onDisconnect) If you would like to know more about overriding my code please see the example MP mission inside the download from steam, right next to keys and addons folder. As well as my post on Exile forums explains with more details how to merge eventhandlers if needed. Here is some information on Exile Forums : My github with example config (also in download - this link contains overrides for Exile players as well) : https://github.com/Andrew-S90/DualArms Download link from steam: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1334412770 Update 2.0: Added an additional 15 mods, including GM CDLC and Contact DLC. 5700+ Weapons and 2600+ Attachments made by the community supported. Fixed Coop Blackscreen bug Ammo count saves on weapon swap Taking a launcher weapon when you have a primary on your back used to block it - now adds the weapon with attachments to the cargo space, seamlessly switching it out. Secondary ammo count displayed visually in the inventory.

Hello ARMA 3 players in general, hello RAVAGE players in particular, Today I present you a full magazine compatibility patch between WarfareThai Ex, RHS USF/AFRF/GREF and IFA3_LITE_AIO I had originally made for my private use but found it so indispensable for playing RAVAGE missions I have decided to publish it. I have expanded on the original compatibilty mod @taf_rhs_asdg, made by lordbooka, the author of WFT that makes the magazines of RHS weapons useable in the WFT guns. What I had done in the beginning was simply to make the existing compatibility two-ways in the sense that also the RHS weapons can use WFT mags. Later on, being an avid RAVAGE player, I removed another batch of inconsistencies between my favourite weapon mods for that kind of gameplay: all those RHS, IFA3_LITE and WFT (plus a few select vanilla guns) bolt-action, (semi-) automatic assault and sniper rifles that appear in each of the packs and/or are sharing the same caliber can now interchange magazines - this is meant to represent the fact that IRL even though e.g. a stock G36 and a stock M4A1 carbine cannot interchange mags, they can shoot the same ammo from their respective different mags. So if I wield a G36 and find a loaded STANAG mag, I can unload the bullets from the STANAG and put them into an empty G36 mag. Also this is IRL true for most LMG's/GPMG's with re-useable belt systems. With the 7.62 x 51 NATO or 7.62 x 54 russian GPMG belt systems it might not be that easy to form new belts out of the single bullets since some feed systems' linking brackets are one-time useable only. Therefor I just made sure that all the boxes with the right caliber from the various mods+vanilla could be used, but did not make the rifle mags of the same caliber useable. Finally I expanded the magazine compatibility to all pistols and SMG's present in the 3 mods by making all primary and secondary magazines of matching caliber that exist in the 3 mods and vanilla useable for these kind of guns - no matter if the guns themselves are available as primaries or secondaries. And ever since RAVAGE Ambient AI was enabled to spawn with launchers, I added mag compatibility between WFT and RHS for these. IFA3 has no launchers sharing ammo with the contemporary launchers of WFT and RHS. Credits and BIG THX go to the Devs of all three mods for creating their awesome content and for allowing me to publish this patch. Special Thanks go out to Alpha Squad Dev Gru for creating ASDG Joint Rails as the founding stone of this and other compatibility mods lordbooka himself for creating the original compatibility as a template to learn from and for helping me with finding correct inheritances for all his guns in the current WFT version. .kju from the IFA3 Dev team for his friendly and encouraging one-on-one coaching in the IFA3 Discord channel on addon load order and finding out the priority of loaded addons so one can reflect that in a compatibilty patch da12thMonkey from the RHS Dev team/ RHS thread in the BIS forums for teaching me the basics of finding inheritances with the config viewer Attaching of scopes, bipods and other attachments: Generally speaking all RHS guns that have „railed“ in the name will use attachments from all mods and BIS. The IFA3 guns will NOT accept any attachments besides the scope that some of them have as fixed part of their model. I left it at this intentionally to make the WFT versions of WW2 guns, which CAN accept just about any attachment available in your game, a true alternative and worth the hassle to switch to. Just imagine the IFA3 guns to be originals, collector's items or period-accurate replicas of WW2 configutations and the WFT versions of the same guns to be the enhanced & upgraded „Gun Nut Retrofit“ variants. A K98 or any bolt action rifle of that ilk can e.g. mount a Schmidt&Bender extreme magnification scope and a bipod, thus enabling you to headshot at 500m or chest hit at 1000m. The MP44/Stgw 44 pulled from the same „Secret Gun Nut Stash“ can mount a flashlight and all available optics – and thusly become a much more useful „Assault Rifle Grandpa“ for you than the „vintage“ variant.
