:rolleyes: Night vision could be a bit more grainy, there could be more contrast between illuminated areas and dark areas and bright lights could shine brighter, interfering with visibility. Just look at the player's custom face selection, that head model don't have this terrible UV maps (as it was on the ArmA 1) and it look better; on the ArmA 1 the NGVs worked better than they do in the ArmA2 with the only exception of the SU-34, that you wasn't able of see anything by night because of the HUD's brightness. The LRPS or the (long-range precision scope), is a high powered scope. For characters and most of their gear, model.cfg is pretty simple to make. // The name of the author of the asset, which is displayed in the editor. Sniper scope for exemple. Great stuffs!!! Despite such technique is usually frowned upon in programming languages, where other methods can be used to achieve the same goal, there is no other way in config. It got old playing Cherno with russians because you couldn't see the enemy and the US could spot everything in 2 seconds. ARMA 2's night vision was one thing that may have been helped by the horrible HDR, because you had contrast and darkening when viewing bright areas vs dark areas. and our thermal sensors and NVGs have improved a lot , in the future smaller devices will be more and more capable like current bigger ones its only a problem of miniaturization , probably a thermal optic will have the same specifics as a current vehicle one. Need to find a way to get rid of the nighstalker target detection crap. The classes for various capacity are already defined in the game config, so in most cases, SupplyXX can be used with XX replaced by the desired capacity value. The centre of the reticle where the two axes intersect is intended to be aimed at targets located 300 metres away. Please note that your custom model classes inherit everything from the ArmaMan class, where most of the commonly used selection names are listed. Look at these bad boys. A lot of civilian night vision gear is less grainy because they have an IR flashlight but in a combat situation where the enemy might also have night vision an IR flashlight is a big no-no. The TWS MG or the (Thermal weapon sight) is just like the TWS a type of thermal optic gunsight. The macro definition starts with #define NAME(parameters). Similarly, properties do not have any type per se, with exception of some being an array. isnt it the future? This happens because name of a parameter from the #define line of the macro definition is used somewhere in the code of the macro, where it is replaced by a value used when calling the macro. A list of the most significant ones can be found at the bottom of the page. Actually more like this ones, new technology. Inside the cfgPatches class, the class named after the addon folder path (where "/" are replaced by "_") is defined using four properties: An example of a cfgPatches.hpp file can look like this: A good habit is to include cfgPatches.hpp at the beginning of the config.cpp file (#include "cfgPatches.hpp"). There should be some more HDR-ish effects going on with the NVG's that's for sure. Server does not need the addon installed just the server key. Due to how characters work in Arma 3, there always has to be a uniform linked with a character. For the details, see below. Valve Corporation. // The same as above, but for the squad picture. I turn them on and the whole screen turns into the green blank, fizzly TV screen effect. It has the unique feature of identifying targets, the display of the rifle lights up when you aim at a target.

Defining a new class in a config can be done in several ways. So I was wrong before. And I don't think NVGs and thermals would be fundamentally better in future, especially in regular armies. Basically, everything in Arma 3 has its class, which is defined within one of what we can call core classes. [8] It can also see through battlefield obscurants such as smoke and fog. ActiveRadarSensorComponent - detects radarTargets according to their radarTargetSize. // Which items the character respawns with. m hoping the current NVGs are only place holders, much like the binoculars, I can't imagine BIS releasing the current ones in full game. None This class is not a subclass of cfgVehicles nor cfgWeapons, it is basically on the same level of class structure as those two. Then only those properties which are different from the parent class need to be defined in the new class. This causes interfearance and in the end the picture isn't quite as clear as it is in ArmA atm And yes the NV's can protect themselves from bright lights, unless they are flipped on in surprise. I agree with this. // if defined, this headgear item gains functionality (visual modes) of given NVG item and will occupy its slot as well. A patrol was coming along a known road and we were supposed to ambush them at night. All ground holders are defined in the cfgVehicles class. You might have noticed that FIA soldier has basically the same line of class structure as AAF soldier, which is even reflected in the name of his base class, while FIA in the game is actually faction of BLUFOR. Night Vision Sight It is slightly confusing that similarly a uniform has to be linked with a character, but just one such link is enough, so in uniform config, it does not matter how many characters actually use the uniform. I have been experimenting with modifying a config file for the Night Vision Goggles that allows full screen and adds all of the Thermal Capabilities in ARMA3 The defined capacities are 010, then 10250 with an increment of 10, then 300, 350, 380, 400, 420, 440, 450, 480, and 500. ---------- Post added at 15:34 ---------- Previous post was at 15:30 ----------. // 2 = class is available in Zeus; 0 = class is unavailable in Zeus.

This page is about Arma 3 server configuration. There is also heavy softening around the edges. In the code itself, just the name of the macro with values of the parameters is written in the code, where it is replaced by everything defined in the macro with parameters taken from what is written in the brackets once the macro is used. All APEX Compact NVG and ENVG-II NVGs only have a Generation 3 Night vision effect, what feels too weak for this kind of equipment (especially in relation to the "NV Goggles (Gen4)" from ACE). Just curious if the mod is still relevant? Sequestration anyone? modelOptics = "\A3\weapons_f_exp\reticle\ENVG.p3d"; As for conflicts with ACE. Note that the engine expects weapons[] and respawnWeapons[] in a specific order, namely with main weapon before the handgun. I don't think I'm alone in saying that even though NVs would be better in future, we want to see some old tech that would still exist in the future you know troops don't always get issued with the most cutting edge gear, and say NATO is in a shiddy financial situation in 20 years time its likely they aren't going to be using cutting edge tech - they could quite possibly be using 10 year old or more tech when it comes to NVGs. To make the process more convenient, macros can be used to save some work, time, and space. (Please note that weapons need ground holders as well, but those are not covered in this guide.). ayee Rekkless comming in with the Clutch Info! Thermal/Night Vision Scope Please see the.

Real Night vision. If a character is wearing a certain backpack, you might want to specify items in that backpack. I already have "fixed" the generation 4 effect by myself with this small modification in the CfgWeapons.hpp: }; // Character classes are defined under cfgVehicles. #define MAG_9(a) a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, #define MAG_10(a) a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, #define MAG_11(a) a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, #define MAG_12(a) a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, "\A3\characters_f\data\ui\icon_u_b_soldier_new_ca.paa", "\A3\Characters_F\Common\Suitpacks\suitpack_original_F.p3d". Like how the hell to get onto a truck. This guide covers the basics of creating config files for characters and their equipment in Arma 3. The usefulness of macros comes from its parameters. actually i could never get used with battlefields IRV scope. To get a new content into the game, an addon has to be created. Keep an eye out for the new update of A3TI, the thermal overhaul mod. It is only visible to you. It can only make the sky and stars a little brighter and that's it, and it's really the terrain that people are trying to adjust. They cause an effect on the human player, will the ai be affected? Thermals I don't agree, having used a Kongsberg M153 PROTECTOR, you can identify vehicles, soldiers by their gear, even weapons from a far, thermal camera in that thing is very accurate when properly adjusted to the situation, I believe they only get better in the future. // This means the vest can be put into a backpack. We usually write names of macros in capital letters to make it clear, when a macro is used in a code.

In most cases, it is most beneficial to find the closest existing class to a new one, and to inherit properties from the existing class to the new one. 22 years is not so much for already greatly developed devices like these. The macros which are useful for this can be defined as follows: When a new uniform, vest, or headgear is defined, it is usable in the game (unless its scope is set to 0), and even visible in Virtual Arsenal (unless it has the scopeArsenal property set to 0), but the item is nowhere to find in the editor.

However, if your hiddenSelectionsTextures[] or similar property is not working, you might have to add the selections into the model class like this: As mentioned before, cfgPatches is one of the core classes needed in config.cpp, but it is wise to define it in a separate .hpp file, and include this file in config.cpp. Ahahaha as someone who had played Battlefield 3 day 1 and experienced the wrath of the "IRNV" scope attachment, yeah that thing is going to make life difficult for any would-be terrorists or criminals. // If a property of a subclass needs to be adjusted, the subclass has to be declared as well, inheriting properties from its original parent class. qantaqa1987, June 6, 2013 in ARMA 3 - GENERAL. I can appreciate that people want to see this now and use it now, but I'm confident that waiting for a refined implementation is the better course of action. modelOptics = "\A3\weapons_f_exp\reticle\ENVG.p3d"; // use vanilla modelOptics so it will show in IR mode Again, to make it clear, it is advisable to write names of parameters in capital letters.

Is that what happens when you don't wipe your goggles (ACE3 mod)? Characters are configured in the cfgVehicles class, inheritance goes as follows: The last class in the second row in the table above is usually used for inheriting parameters into a new character class.
