sbsmac has released few days ago his Addon-checker tool for server admins on the BI-Forums.
I've just created a new tool to help server admins figure out which missions are likely to give their users problems and to help mission makers check which addons they might need to specify. AddonChecker can tell you if a mission claims to be is 'vanilla' A2 or OA or to require both sets of content (Combined Operations or 'CO'). More importantly it can detect CO missions by analysing the classes used in the mission.sqm and and scripts run by the mission. It can then 'fix up' those missions to prevent players accidentally joining the mission and then encountering a 'missing addon' error message during the game.
Features * Drag-and drop operation for pbos, mission-folders, or folders containing sets of pbo'd missions. * Identifies missions requiring A2, OA and Combined-Ops content as well as those which are incorrectly flagged as A2 or OA only. * Checks scripts for additional classes which may cause 'missing-addon' errors during the mission. * "Force CO" feature modifies pbos and mission folders in-place so that they explicitly required both A2 and OA content. This prevents users joining the mission and then being kicked off after it starts. * Click on an addon-name or class-name to view the files referencing that item.
Clayman informed us about the newest version 2.3 of his Car Radio addon. In this version he added all tracks from the Eagle Wing Campaign and also all brand new tracks from Operation Arrowhead. The download includes a sample mission on Utes.
Changelog V2.3: * Added Operation Arrowhead musictracks * Added tracks from Eagle Wing Campaign (ArmA2 Patch 1.05) * Fixed bug when leaving Playlist Editor via Cancel button * Car Radio in Modules (F7) * Custom Icon
Icewindo has released an ArmA1 SF addon on the BI Forums. A port of the ArmA1 Special Forces. I mainly did this as some people requested a updated version of this.
Also maybe the MLOD helps some people in creating new units...
They need ArmA2 as they use the marine wound textures but work in combined operations too and can be found under BLUFOR-> ArmA1 -> Special Forces.
Features: - updated LoBo/GIR's Pinzgauer (turning speed, windows, wheel damage) - addded Afrenian & Molatian soldier wound textures - added windows to AS350 chopper (tnx Maj Z. aka Mchide) - new desert ghillie for Molatian spotter and sniper - Molatia and Afrene repaved the main road from Bolabongo to Kinsella and other regional roads - improved East coast vegetation & new smooth layer of asphalt road in sector Ursana-Canto - Afrene built new buildings and new camp near the border river - fixed map bugs reported by Enad & Rafalsky - upgraded Berghoff African Foliage to latest 1.20 - various small tweaks & fixes - a mutated suprise
Special thanks to BIS for mentioning Duala in their Arrowhead game!
Edit 17-07-2010 v1.81 released: - fixed floating shrubs caused by a new version of African Foliage 1.20 - fixed ibr_acivilians.pbo & signature file - fixed version name in island selector menu
Isla Duala Lite 1.81 added : "...for all those who are complaining that they don't need units."
Be sure to delete any previous @duala folders since you will probably need fresh .bisign files in order to join the signed dedicated servers.
Deadfast has released an Elapsed Time Counter addon on the BI-Forums that adds an elapsed time counter to the Players and Tasks dialogs.
Ever wanted to know how much time has passed since the mission you're playing started? Stopwatches are no longer needed, simply open the Players (default key: P) or Tasks (default key: J) dialog and find out. Works with both singleplayer and mutliplayer.
Lexx has released his M32 weapon addon (in black) for Operation Arrowhead on the BI-Forums.
M32 in black I pretty much love every grenade launcher, especially the M32, but the one in the game now doesn't really work in woodland or urban-esque locations. This mod now adds a black colored version of the milkor grenade launcher into the game, which is more fitting for everything else that is non desert. It's a 'simple' recolor of the normal M32 grenade launcher, that comes with Operation Arrowhead. This mod will not replace the original grenade launcher, it adds the black one as alternate version.
STALKERGB has released his STALKERGB's British 3 Rifle MTP (OA) Addon v1.2 on the BI-Forums.
Right then, finally got round to finishing this. Hopefully every new feature in OA functions correctly with these units (such as thermal maps, backpacks etc). This is completely compatible with ALL OA's new features. So any site that has an OA release section can put these under there. There is a seperate config for people with just ARMA2 included.
Changes in V1.2 -Added missing AT weapon proxy to Marksman and Sniper. -Added Lead Scout in full MTP. -Added Light Rifleman with MTP Assualt Osprey. -Created new open top mag pouch. -Added THERMAL MAPS to units. (OA only) -Updated units to use backpack system. (OA only) -Added OA material settings for skin on arms. (OA only) -Added Daysack, ECM/Comms Pack and Patrol Pack to BIS backpack system. (OA only) -Updated config for users with OA (with or without ARMA2). -Created seperate config for people with just ARMA2 (alpha test) -L115A2 NO LONGER OPTIONAL, replaced L96A1 with L115A2 in all configs.
Takko has released an updated ATV Package Vers. 2.0 featuring Gecko ATVs in various camos and types on the BI Forums.
Because of my promises, I decided to release a new version of the Gecko ATV which is a major step up overhaul compared to the older versions. Its even Operation Arrowhead compatible now. ... But also enjoy the added Fixes in comparision of the previous Version:
Fixed config errors No more rvmat errors reversed 2nd cargo position new cargo: Operation Arrowhead UN Soldiers.
Skeiz has released a new set of Ka-52 armament addon on the BI Forums.
This modification changes the range of weapons and reconnaissance attack helicopter Ka-52. The purpose of this modification was adjustment of the balance in a network game. In standard configuration helicopter Ka-52 was too powerful, unparalleled helicopter which successfully fought the same way as with air and with ground targets.
Our modification eliminates the imbalance, bringing the characteristics of the weapons to be more realistic. In this case, the modification does not contain complex scripts and does not require any major adjustment.
Complex aircraft armament is divided between the two crew members. The operator - makes target acquisition using a laser marker, the pilot of launching ATGM "Vikhr" by laser designator.
Edit 16-07-2010 : v1.1 release. This release requires Arma 2 and OA.
ver.1.1 Added 1) Thermal Sight for operator 2) The exhaust system of flares 3) The system of warning of an attack by air defense
tpM from H.AR.C.P has informed us about the release of H.AR.C.P. Dynamic Sound System RC1 on the BI Forums.
Hungarian Arma Community Projects [HARCP] Team is pleased to announce you the release of the Dynamic Sound System v1.0.0 RC (Release Candidate) for Arma 2. Sadly, a few things didnt turn out as we planned, but at least we made it...
Without going into technical details, I can say that the system relies on pre-defined echo locations on islands. This means that we have to make the islands "echo map" first, to make it work support on an island. Currently it only supports Utes and Chernarus, but we'll add support for more islands in the future. You can place echo zones manually in your mission too, but then it will require the Mod to play.
Solus has released an updated SLX Mod v1.9997 on the BI Forums.

OA fixes: Impact dust. Shell casings. Screams. Combat shouts. Weapon holder error. Alpha team and group call signs. HUD compass in aircraft. Save game crash.
Dslyecxi has informed the community about the release of an updated ShackTac Fireteam HUD (STHUD) by zx64 on the BI Forums.
Once upon a time, we had an idea to make something that would alleviate some of the issues in ArmA with regards to situational awareness. Our ShackTac Fireteam HUD is the solution we came up with, and while it is not completely finalized feature-wise, we think it's more than ready to be used by those who share similar views regarding gameplay's relationship with realism.
Design Intent The ShackTac Fireteam HUD was designed to do the following:
* Provide situational awareness on where your fireteam members are and what their orientation is. This is intended to represent both peripheral vision, as well as the extended awareness one has in reality. You only see your fireteam members relative to you - no terrain, no other players/units. * Give you an always-visible way of seeing who your team members are
Zenger from SARMAT studio has released a Georgian army mod v0.9 on the BI Forums. This mod is featuring Infantry, Armour, Vehicles, Air, Support , Static and Signs.
The description: Georgian army (retexture standard models). Side - BlueFor.
BergHoff has released an updated African foliage for ArmA II v1.20 addon on the BI Forums.
This addon contains 34 usable models that can be used too create a vast desert, savanna or jungle.
The addon was previously released for ArmA in a un-finished state but now I have ported it over to ArmA II and completed all models that were in prior releases.
I want to thank Icebreakr for testing the foliage on his nice Isla Duala.
Our Team member, Blondak, has released a [C.S.E.C] CTF & DM maps v1.00 mission pack on the BI Forums.
Hi all, I made some CTF maps for ArmA 2 year ago but I didn't released them to the public. Sometimes they were played on the Czech servers, so maybe you can know them. Now I finished next new maps in Operation Arrowhead. The pack contains three maps on the Chernarus, they can be played on ArmA 2. Next four maps are in Operation Arrowhead terrain. The addition are two versions of very known map since OFP called DM Tequila. I removed time setting because JIP players had night.
First three maps you can play with ArmA 2 only. Other maps are made with Combined Operations v1.52. Maps can't be played with Operation Arrowhead only. You need both games!
