Description :
To install, copy HT.pbo to your addons folder and the mission to the custom missions folder.

Please take into account that with this pre-release of the Handy Tools new pack you will find some new features and some redesigns but work is not yet finished. But Rope System is stable at this point and can be used without problems.

Please read the "readme" included to find out how to make it work. The demo mission will show to you the current features of the Rope System (more to come as I´m still adding new ones). At this point the predefined configs allow you to work with UH-60, Chinooks, Hueys and AB212 from FFAA mod. Anyway it may be the case that the positions match for several models and no extra config is needed. To be honest, I didn´t have time to check all cases... I will try to extend those configs to the rest of BIS and most popular addons in the future. In the other cases the script works, but the attach point is a default one placed at pilot´s position. For the special case of the models with animated parts you can call the animation state directly in the predefined config. As an example the FAMET helicopters Chinook and AB212 from FFAA mod will automatically open their doors prior to the rapel insertion. This feature allows users to syncronize the custom animations with the rope attachment.

One of the new features from HT is the on-screen dialog for camera management. Press "H" and the options will pop-up.

Important note: This file replaces the old HT releases. If you experience problems with old missions just go back to the v1.0 release until I release a complete official update of the pack. Sorry for that... This pre-release changes some of the code but it´s only intended for demostration purposes, as a proof of concept, of the system basics and mathematics, cause if there was a problem with the basics of the code, now is the time to correct or addapt it for better performance. In the future I plan to improve it and also improve the physics of the ropes if this finally succeeds as a bigger project, but remember I created those addons just for fun and to experiment with the game engine capabilities.

Enjoy!
