Description :
I have totally forgotten everything I learned from Arma 1 addon making... so this pack has some issues with ArmaII.Not to mention I didn't have the tools.

First thing is the rvmat problems that make it dependent on the tracked.pbo.The only way I could get around this was to add them into the tracked.pbo package.All you do is de-pbo the tracked.pbo and add the included rvmats to the data\detailmappy directory.If you DON'T do this, what will happen is the game will nag you about it on startup and the textures will be flat/matt without the ArmaII "shinyness"(no biggy really but I personally like the shiny textures better).I also couldn't find a missing rvmat for the helmuts sitting on the tanks fenders...so it will nag also if choosing a tank with extra details on it.

Secondly is the strange issue of the AI crew bailing out of the turrent.Upon doing so the gunner will hurt himself and nag the whole time until he gets his leg fixed.I think whats happening is he's jumping too high from the turrent to the ground.Don't know how to fix it ...maybe when the new tools come out.

thirdly is the missle sound is wrong...again it needs to have the file path changed to match armaII I guess ,so it just sounds like the gun.

other than these little problems they work great,look great(better than they did in ArmaI) and add alot more variety to the armour section.They also have defensive systems so they can survive longer(well...alittle longer!)Enjoy

If anyone wants to try to fix these issues please give me a holler.Would be nice to have them perfected.

Thanks to ModEmMaik,Marijus, and Snoops for helping with this project...couldn't have done it without ya.

Update
Russian Armour Pack version3.0.

This update addresses the multiplayer dedicated server issue.All tanks can now run on a dedi without asking for missing texture files(providing you've loaded the rvmats into the tracked.pbo)All you do is de-pbo the tracked.pbo and add the included rvmats to the data\detailmappy directory.If you DON'T do this, what will happen is the game will nag you about it on startup and the textures will be flat/matt without the ArmaII "shinyness"(no biggy really but I personally like the shiny textures better).

Russian Armour Pack version3.1.
Small update.
I had missed the proper bailout animations in the last version...its fixed now.Also optimized it abit more in the viewlods,so this update aleast adds to the addon instead of just covering up my mistakes.


Russian Armour Pack version4.0.
Small update...,added yellow camo T-80UM1(cause its my fav) and skirts to all T-8o's.Also attemped to organize the texure access in the model a bit better(not sure if I did really but I tried).

RussianArmorPack v5.0

Big update!! Changed Commander view type to T90 instead of T72.This also fixes the gunner moving the commander view when turning turrent.

This pack has one issue with ArmaII, the rvmats make it dependent on the tracked.pbo.(if you want the shinyness and scratches)The only way I could get around this was to add them into the tracked.pbo package.

RussianArmorPack v6.0
Added the BTR's.These have their own slots and can be found under Russia/Btr variants(not under armour!!!).Two camos each...winter/urban and desert.

EDIT!!...added extendeded event handlers and changed the crew to arma 2 crew.Download link has been updated.I haven't signed this addon due to it being an open ended project.Didn't seem right to close it.

EDIT 2...PLEASE READ THIS...

Its come to my attention that these addons need CBA to run.I did not know this until now,so I apologize that I didn't forsee this when writing the readme.Hope it didn't cause to much frustration.I think what happened is I had installed the CBA before I ported these over,thus not knowing it was need all along...duh,hehe.
