kju has informed us about the release of PvPscene Tweaks: SimpleFirstAid on the BI Forums.
Playing ArmA in SP can be a very frustrating experience. PMC has introduced the Simple First Aid module. The neat thing about it in MP is that both players cannot die and revive each other (unless both are KO). This tweak transfers the idea to SP. It automatically activates for the player and all units in his squad a heavily tweaked version of the module.
Gameplay summary [i]In SP the player group can patch each other up as long as working together as a team. Please read the description and details in the BI forum.
Technically summary * Automatically active in SP. * Automatically active for the player group and all units of it. * Disables the (ArmA II) First Aid module in SP when built into a mission. * For MP the game is unchanged. * Requires CBA.
Pac from the .Invasion 1944 Mod has informed us about the release of some new in-game I44 v2.5 WIP screenshots.
Here's a sneak peak at some of the Armor that we'll be featuring in the Combined Operations version of Invasion 1944. First up is the Sherman M4A3 E8 "Easy Eight" HVSS by Marss911.
A stronger and more powerful version of the Sherman, its also the first of our Armor units to have the 'Cargo' crew spots added enabling infantry to ride on top of the tank for transport, Macolik has done some new animations for the infantry to laze across the hull.
This also leads us into a new feature Macolik has also implemented. The new 'overpressure' feature affects those units riding on and in close proximity to the tanks main gun. When fired the unit experiences a blinding flash, a disorientating view shake, an ear rattling ringing, and even the possibility of losing their weapon while being thrown from the vehicle.
Meanwhile over on the German side we've reimplemented the range of SdKfz 234 Schwere Panzerspähwagen (8-Rad) Heavy Armoured Cars by Jean Christophe.
The conversion to Combined Operations so far is going really well, we're beggining our internal multiplayer tests this weekend so hopefully we'll have some footage and screens from that for you all to enjoy soon!

My brother and i have been working on our Soundmod that was released for Arma1 the last year or so and thought we would release a WIP version for ppl to play with over the Christmas Break.
The mod changes the the sounds for most weapons, Explosions,Sonic Cracks ,air vehicles and also few changes to Land vehicle sounds.
My experience with sound engineering and a few years of modding Bis games have allowed me to add a few nice little tricks to the mod by way of Improved Combat Ambience and immersion.
All Feedback is welcome. Keep in mind, Some Sounds will change in the future.This is a preveiw version for the holidays. Some vids showing some close and distant battles would be great if anyone has the time and the know-how. Merry Christmas and/or Happy Holidays to everyone.

[ADO]Old Bear has released his Yapal v0.2 beta terrain on our Forums. ArmA2 and ArmA2:Operation Arrowhead needed.
Here is a new small map for PvP or TvT purpose. It's a CO terrain ...5 km x5 km with a town in the middle with a lot of industrial areas along a East/West railways track and a North/South road, military bases in the North and in the South and 4 villages in the terrain "corners".
Build as a "test-map" after some epic battle on Shapur withADO Clan team mates for I was a bit frustrated by the somewhat void surroundings.
Afterwards the terrain has been left aside and used only as testing grounds for my own personal tools tests and in order to prepare the larger upcoming Sbrodjistan map, to learn how to use Shezan WorldTool to find a way to get OA icons on the map in-game ...
As it was, a bit unsophisticated, I thought it can be an interesting area for some TvT battles
Now after some tweaks in order to help AI to find their way in town ^^, Yapal v 0.2 beta is released!
The complete system is framed as a plug-in, so it can be used in any mission you like. It'll be also featured in a "survival" style mission, which will hopefully be released along with this addon.
As explaining how this works is rather difficult with Pictures and text only, I've made a video showing how it works and what you can do:
MBG Creationism is released with a 2-8 COOP Defend Creationism mission : Plus, NeoArmageddon asked me to include the latest version of his MP-Mission using Creationism. For play-testing both the addon and the mission. In lack of a briefing, here's what you do. When you start, hop into the truck and drive to any location you like. Once you reach it, deploy the truck and begin to fortify the truck and it's surrounding area, because you'll now have to defend against oncoming waves of enemies that will gain stronger and stronger with time. You earn money for killing enemies. Once 2h are passed you win and if your truck is destroyed, the mission is lost.

I took the visitor files that 9thAirCav released a couple of months ago and started working on them. I tried to reproduce as faithfully as I could the Skira Island from OFP: Sunken Dragon.

Special Thanks to: - 9thAirCav for starting the project - RSttratton for creating and releasing the snappable pond object. Without that the island wouldn't be what it now is. - Clawhammer and his clan for the outstanding Screenshots. Vielen Dank, und viele Grüssen von Spanien.
-And thanks to Codemasters for showing everyone that OFP was, is and forever will be OFP: Cold War Crisis and not that mussel aborption that OFP: DR was.
