sander released another reskin of the standard BIS Units on the BIS Forums. This time made some more NATO camo ready to be used in your ArmA2.
This addon contains a number of reskinned units for use in Arma2 based on the Force Recon assault units. These are intended to represent US Army (ACU), - Air Force (Multicam) and - Navy (Woodland) special operations units as well as adding some units intended to represent Dutch (DPM), German (Flecktarn) and French (CCE) units. 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.
Mr_Centipede released an updated version of his small script addon called Cent_Stick2gether on the BIS Forums. This script will make AI stick together in formation (AI won't issue engage orders) in firefight. They will only break formation and engage the enemy if friendly group to enemy ratio is greater than 70%.
It's just a simple script, but I think it would make firefight more interesting.
[SEN]Archangel released more info and a picture of his upcoming AH-1Z Pack on the BI Forums.
And as a bonus to the AH-1's I've also added these reskinned UH-1Y's to the Helo pack I'm working on. I'll be adding hidden selections and markings 'etc' if/when BIS release the source models to the community as I'd need to be able to edit the models in Oxygen before I can add anything to them.
I'll probably release the beta in a week or two depending on how I get on with the skinning, configs, scripts and of course the testing.
