4 screenshots made by itim_tuko showing off the upcoming CZM - Conflict Zone Mindanao Simba have been posted on the BIS Forums.
CZM is back with some new wip. The Mod will be made for both ArmA and ArmA II.
I couldnt call this a mod about the Philippine Army if I would skip the Simba APC and as I made a break in my studies I had some time to make the first attemps to create a new Simba (skipped the old model I had as it was to awfull).
The Philippine Army is the only army in the world who uses the Simba APC. Remember that this still is an Alpha model and I only spend 6 hours on it sofar.
Dale from the Silent-Warriors , has sent us an MP Mission called Puddle Trouble. This mission involves wrestling the water back from the Russians. Read the briefing in game for more info.
1. The AI in control of the support vehicle can be stupid. Either disregard the option to use them or be patient! 2. I have used various scripts in this mission to which I am grateful to the authors of these scripts. Thankyou. 3. If you de-pbo the mission then I do not make any apologies for the state of the scripts etc. There are some scripts that are redundant but are still in the pbo file. Oh well!! Alot of time and effort has gone into this. If the scripts look scruffy then improve them. 4. I still cant get the objectives to look the same for all players including JIP. If someone could do this, could you let me know how! Send the pbo file to me would be cool. 5. Special thanks to all at www.silent-warriors.co.uk for their patience and also testing the mission for me. 6. I know its not the finished article but I have took it as far as I think I can. If you want to improve on it then by all means do so.
HeinBloed has updated his GDTMod HDR to version 1.01 and released it on the official Forums. This Addon does not disable HDR but it is reducing the effects of HDR dramatically by adjusting the aperture. This Addon is client side only.
There are to variants to use this addon. 1. Via Key: This variant does not work with addons which are using the old displaySetEventHandler command. It also does not work with the Editor Modules "Construction Interface" (Used by missions such as Superpowers) and "High Command" witch are using the displaySetEventHandler command as well. This variant does not work on Single Player with resume game from mission menu. Start new mission...save game...load savegame is working. 2. Via actionmenu: - There are not any known issues by using the actionmenu.
Required: Armed Assault 2 v1.02 Extended Eventhandlers (XEH) which is part of CBA: Community Base Addons (http://dev-heaven.net/wiki/cca)
Changelog 1.01 - Enhanced compatibility for Key activation by using displayAddEventHandler "KeyUp". For Example: Compatible with the Arma 2 integrated HALO function. - Alternative start via actionmenu added. - Using Extended Eventhandlers (XEH). - Fixed: Single player: Loading a savegame will crash the game. Note: Updating this addon from 1.00 to 1.01 needs an update for gdtmod_hdr.hpp too. Alternative you can insert the first 2 lines of the new gdtmod_hdr.hpp to the old one. (_start = 0; and _menu = 0

Although not exactly conforming to high standards of accuracy regarding details of attire and weaponry, it will have to do till the release of tooling.
afp released another nice addition for your ArmA 2 (and ArmA) on the BIS Forums. Minimal crosshair allows you to change the ingame crosshair to fit your needs (several version available)
Overview: Changes default weapons cursor to a less visible / accurate cursor as a compromise between gameplay and realistic target awarness. Copy it in an existing mod folder, or create a new mod folder and add it to command line. (Exemple. make a folder named "@Minimal" inside ArmA2 folder, and another folder named "addons" inside "@Minimal"; then copy one of MinimalCrosshair.pbo inside newly created "@Minimal\addons" and launch arma2 with command line: "arma2.exe -mod=@Minimal;") You can choose between 6 appeareances, 2, 3 or 4 lines, more or less visible (you can interchange ArmA1 and ArmA2, ArmA 2 cursors are thiner). Recommended: 3 lines.
Changes: Version 1.02 - added 2 more types of cursors, 2 lines. Changed color to white for ArmA 2. Separated cursors for ArmA1 and ArmA2. Version 1.01 - added 3 more types of cursors, more or less visible, 3 or 4 lines.
Today OChristie released his Bacau Airport (East Timor) Terrain which can be used in ArmA 1 and ArmA 2 on the BIS Forums.
[i]INFORMATION =========== Hello Folks, Recently I was inspired by various videos, screenshots other material to act on a passion that I have for Mapping a Tropical Location. Now some of you may think, 'Why not Map Carribean or Africa etc', and you are right, but, mapping a large area of East Timor fits the profile. So I though, GREAT. I set out trying to aquire data for East Timor some months ago, but to no avail as Google Earth's Sat Image is shite. Also finding elevation Data for anywhere other than the US in decent quality is extremely hard to find unless you want to spend ALOT of money. So I used:
Standard: QuickBird Imagery of Baucau, East Timor Resolution: 0.6m (2' Foot) Pan-Sharpened Color Distance Covered: 25km2
I have now spent 2 weeks straight on developing this map to a stage where I feel it looks and feels good
MEDIA ======= Full Flickr Album full of 26 High quality JPEG's of this map. Use when and where you want, remember to credit me.
schnapsdrossel released an update for his Mercenaries and BlackOps over at the BIS Forums. Description: This addon will add several desert mercenaries and BlackOps. I made this addon to test some modding possibilities in ARMA2...
I decided to convert this excellent addon to ArmA2... All the info and explanations can be found in the original thread.
Some credits: gmJamez - for making this amazing addon and giving permission to continue work on it. Solus - for making the SightAdjustment_autoInit addon to support Extended Event Handlers.
All i did was fixing small scripting errors and merging Solus work with the original addon to support Extended Event Handlers. Also signed the file so it can be used on servers that require signature files.
