Let's not forget NATO is po'! Since it's the future they're allowed to do whatever they want with it and authenticity cannot be questioned. The macro definition starts with #define NAME(parameters). (Please note that weapons need ground holders as well, but those are not covered in this guide.). Great stuffs!!! That does not mean every character needs a unique uniform, usually a single uniform is shared across several soldiers.

Like my content and want to support me more directly? Facewear classes, on the contrary, contain a lot of identity types in their identityTypes[] property, together with values. Autorifleman's backpack config ///. Every selection of the model that is to be used in config of a class using that model has to be defined in this array. so anybody where i can find a guide with the basic controls? actually i could never get used with battlefields IRV scope. Feedback Tracker. Usually, model.cfg looks like this: Class names have to be the same as the model names without the .p3d suffix. This resulted in the breaking of almost all of their NV's and believe me when I say that the Trainer wasn't happy. This item will only be visible in searches to you, your friends, and admins.

Cookie Notice Contents 1 Design 2 Trivia 3 Gallery 4 See also 4.1 Optical sights of comparable role and configuration Design It has a magnification zoom of 5x, and uses a fixed zeroing of 300 m that cannot be adjusted. // Which weapons the character respawns with. In some cases, it was decided some types of headgear would be picked more often then other types, which needed to be implemented, as well. Ace NVG adjustment just blinks out sometimes on its own. OK I'm back and I will see about adding the new content. The AMS is a medium range scope complemented for both new and existing weapons. Video games tend to make them seem more functional than they actually were. Server does not need the addon installed just the server key. ENVG III/ FWS-I night vision mobility and targeting system, Like its night vision-only counterpart the, Hybrid scopes that are both night vision and thermal-capable. // For inheritance to work, the base class has to be defined. Please see the. BTW: there is a ticket already for improving NVG's: http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=8564, A bit of blur at outer edges (Like iron sights optic with pp on Normal), Blur in distance as the above ticket suggests. Headgear is defined in the cfgWeapons class, and its config is pretty straightforward, similarly to vests. 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. The NVS or the (Night vision scope), is a light-intensifying optic scope. For example, if all the soldiers are defined in the cfgSoldiers.hpp file, the only thing needed is to include the .hpp file in config.cpp, like this: When using includes, please note the following: Spreading the content of config.cpp across several .hpp files will make the whole thing easy to navigate in, and it is strongly recommended. You need to sign in or create an account to do that. The Nightstalker is a multi-vision scope used primarily by CSAT forces, and in limited numbers with both Viper and CTRG operatives in ArmA 3. If a macro continues on the next line of the code, the line has to have \ at the end. Would be nice if this was fixed, would balance out scopes and there wouldn't be a see all hit all anymore. However, it draws many similarities to real-life night vision scopes made by various companies such as ATN Corp and Elbit Systems. Edit: Also it would be fun if you could brake NV scopes and goggles with bright lights. For all other targets that are below that distance, aiming slightly above the intersecting lines is necessary for anything at 200, 100, and 50 metres (respectively). // 2 = class is available in the editor; 1 = class is unavailable in the editor, but can be accessed via a macro; 0 = class is unavailable (and used for inheritance only). Do not be distracted by the "Glasses"; originally, only various glasses and goggles existed other kinds of facewear (for example balaclavas) have been added in the Bootcamp update. A class does not have to contain all necessary properties, there is a structure of parent and child classes, with a child class inheriting all properties from its parent class, unless a property is redefined under the child class. The structure of classes is the result of the fact that FIA soldier classes are primarily configured as an AAF faction and the classes for other sides are inherited from them. I already have "fixed" the generation 4 effect by myself with this small modification in the CfgWeapons.hpp: }; // This means the vest can be put into a backpack. Note the green brackets denoting that a valid target has been "acquired" by the scope. Same about thermal again, its more about "there is heat over there" than "There is a bmp-2 and 3 russian soldiers with AK's because I saw it form 2km away". Yours still works, but it unfortunately turns out to be sort of useless. 5x // Character classes are defined under cfgVehicles. Yes, ACE made it more realistic by adopting ShackTac mods for it. Sequestration anyone? This is usually used in order to have hiddenSelectionsTextures[] property working. The Nightstalker is a multi-vision scope used primarily by CSAT forces, and in limited numbers with both Viper and CTRG operatives in ArmA 3. The order of includes might matter, depending on where which class is defined. Character classes have the identityTypes[] property defined, and it can contain an identity type for facewear, for example G_NATO_default. 100-1000 m How much do you think night vision, or any type of enhanced vision would improve over the years leading up to the time Arma 3 is set? Place bikey in the key folder in your ArmA3 main directory file. You can learn more about macros in a dedicated section of this guide. // if defined, this headgear item gains functionality (visual modes) of given NVG item and will occupy its slot as well. Due to how this works, be mindful with spaces and quotation marks when using macros. 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. Look at these bad boys. It is advisable to create the structure in such a way so the order of includes actually does not matter. If not, then we are basically "nerfing" ourselves. If you put the handgun before main weapon and (ingame) lower your main weapon and raise it back again, you'll raise the handgun instead before the main gun switching animation kicks in. privacy statement. I think thats one of the main points when introducing pretty effects such as these.

The Nightstalker shares the same model with the NVS. In addition, if you put Throw or Put before the main gun, some animation glitches may occur (character automatically crouching on lowering a weapon). Configuring facewear is extremely easy, although there is one tricky part in the form of identityTypes[] property (for details, see below). The NVS is a completely fictional design. The chevron-dot reticle is not limited to any specific calibre either and is (mostly) accurate with its default zeroing of 100 metres. // How likely this character spots enemies when controlled by AI. 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 Bright sources of light could make the dark areas even darker when looked at. Those are recognizable by square brackets at the end of their names (e.g., hiddenSelections[]). // Which items the character respawns with. Whenever a valid object (such as a man-sized target) is aimed at, brackets will be displayed on the scope's reticle to notify the user that they are "locked" onto a target. The MRD is a sight made for only one weapon. Although indirectly similar, the Nightstalker's closest real-life equivalent would be the optical scopes designed by BAE Systems for the U.S. military's "ENVG III"/"Family of Weapon Sights - Individual" (FWS-I) programme. I only needed to edit a few lines of code to get it to work in ArmA3. // The class name does not really matter, but for clarity, it should be SupplyXX, where XX is the desired capacity value. And I don't think NVGs and thermals would be fundamentally better in future, especially in regular armies. Copyright Bohemia Interactive a.s.

I have been working with Mil grade NV's for some time and ArmA's nightvision has always been too good, same goes for thermal as well. All of these seem to be reproducible only in Multiplayer on a dedicated server, though reliably. It has the same magnification strength range of regular TWS scopes (4x-10x) but is capable of switching between four modes of operation; "normal" day, orange/red-hot thermal, and night vision modes. // The textures for the selections defined above.

Valve Corporation. Enough of that though. The Nightstalkers is a high tech nightvision/thermal/day sight. // Currently works only for Headgear + NVG + Radio item combinations. 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. If empty, model textures are used. I've narrowed it down to the -3 to +3 brightness setting by way of alt + page up or page down. // Omit this, if the headgear is a helmet.
