Due to the unpredictable problems that arose during the forum migration, the "old" BIS Forums have been re-opened until the new ones are ready!
Due to the unpredictable problems which arose during the attempted forum migration, we have decided to temporarily re-enable access to the old forums whilst we try to resolve the issues which arose. All being well once we have discovered the cause of these problems we will perform the migration again.
So please for now enjoy our vintage forums and we'll update you soon with the migration status.
The first screen shows the new Kolgujev Island, the T-80 (by Kenji) and the MI-24 (by EricM, the other screens show some Resistance style Soldiers and a T-72.
CimaleX informed us that Arremba San Zorzo from the Pedagne Mod released several new pictures of their latest work.
Arremba San Zorzo from Pedagne Mod is going on with the update pack, developing some trucks and the Iveco LMV (VTLM Lince for Italian Armed Forces).
Here we can see again a partially armored VM90 TP, an LMV Lince and a 6X6 Astra truck (both developed in cooperation with the Spanish Team Mod FFAA), plus an Iveco ACM90 truck developed from the addon originally made for Ofp.
The Iveco LMV is the actual Light Multi-role Vehicle of 6,5 tons that saved many italian, british and other NATO soldiers lives in Afghanistan, while the ACM90 have been used since 1989 for general purpose duties and troops transport with the italian army and the navy.
Pedagne Mod is still looking for a dedicated config expert that could help the mod to solve some config file problems, and to save some time before the release.
Placebo informed us about a delay in BI Forums migration and a message has been posted on the BoHemia Interactive site.
Written by Váša RolnÃk Monday, 30 March 2009 During the migration of the forums several unpredictable problems occurred. We are currently working on their fixing, we apologize to everyone for the delay and we will inform you as soon as we know more..
Addonmaker and our forum member Vilas released 8 new screenshots of his Project '85 content on our forums.
W.I.P. Boots are english-type, wrong, but will be replaced to good-realistic (texture and normals). Helmet has new texture, flak-vest is made of cordura and has ni-co pockets. Polish army for more realism will appear also on RES side (since 1981 martial law and kiling famous priest by secret police - it is more realistic than east side). Mod will be developing in smaller team, but GUI will appear, lots of missions too, so please be patient a little and P85 will give lower - but good package of addons and missions.
Arremba San Zorzo from the Pedagne Mod is going on with his hard work updating and editing new vehicles and sent us 6 images showing Pedagne Mod vehicles.
We can see some screenshots of the MMI and EI (Naval air arm and the Army) of some choppers (AB212, AB412, AW129, NH90) as well as some VM90 in various versions (Iveco VM90 have been the standard Light Tactical Vehicle of italian armed forces until it has been replace by the Iveco LMV Lince).
Arremba is hard working and had to delay the release of the pack because of some config problems.
They are still looking for a dedicated person who can give us a useful hand with this issue. Below some pics of the new ASZ addons.
Some facts about the Pomegrat project. It's my 1st map and my first run in the modding world. I spend 3 months on the project, sometimes working a full day on the job. I have redone it twice, learning the hard way. I was helped all along the road by Floosy, my game ADO team mate, himself known for his Tatawin and Isla del Jonas islands.
The map is built with PvP in mind, but AI are doing ok on it as far as I have tested ... The main issue for AI is the long seawall between the two parts of this island.
Some facts about Pomegrat Island :
Of course, this island does not exist in RL but it's shape is based along the "Pomegues et Ratonneau" islands near Marseilles. The map is larger than the model and less rocky. As on the model you can find here and there remains of military equipments, some of them centuries old.
Not only mauf is working on some firefighter vehicles for ArmA, Boss also posted 3 screenshots of his american fire truckon our Forums.
I was working on the textures to an american fire truck here is a couple of pics. This fire truck was originally made for ofp converted to arma me and sniper recon, also got the permission to do this fist, and has yet to be released for public use.
The Invasion 1944 Team has informed us that they have released 3 more screenshots of their modding progress on the Invasion 1944 Mod website. The Sd.Kfz. 2, better known as the Kleines Kettenkraftrad started its life as a light tractor for airborne troops to tow recoilless guns and light anti-tank guns, and to transport ammunition. It had its advantage as being a tracked vehicle climbing up to 45° in sand and even more in hard ground. Most Kettenkrads saw service on the Eastern Front, but also used in Europe.
