All links will bring you to the correct OFPEC (http://www.ofpec.com/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1) forum topics to make sure you always have the latest version.
Sprint/Animation Fix (http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=2352)
- Fixes all missing transitions between standing, kneeling, sprinting, running and walking.
- Unarmed players can now sprint diagonally. <- I don't consider this a cheat as it was broken by BIS accidentally and not intentional.
- Fixes BOTH sprint modes. Double tap 'w' sprint or turbo key sprint (if you changed your key layout) use separate animation files. Either way you are covered!
Jamming (http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=2341)
This addon adds jamming probability to all BIS primary weapons. Jamming probability is determined by the parameter "Jam_probab" in the weapon config and may be set per each weapon. So far the values are just rough guesses, and one of the tasks of this beta is to come to an agreement (if it's at all possible) as to what values are the most functional.
On jamming player gets an action called "Immediate action". This is the first thing a soldier is trained to do in case of a stoppage, and it's basically just cocking the weapon to get rid of the problematic round/case. It uses default reload animation which is a bit slower than it would take to cock the weapon, but it's the only suitable animation i could think of. With the probability of 80 percent it will solve the problem, and you can continue shooting. If not, a more severe problem is simulated, and you will be given an action called "Remedial action" which is supposed to be removing the mag and checking out what's going on in the receiver. It also uses reload animation, which is much or less close to real thing. In 90 percent of the cases this will clean the problem and you can keep shooting. In 10% your weapon is considered badly jammed and not repairable in battlefield conditions. In this case you'll have to start looking for a dead body before you become one
AI jams are also simulated, but they are much simplier. In case of jam the unit is forced to perform reload animation, and with a 95 percent probability he's good to go. In 5 percent of the cases his weapon becomes irrepairable. On jam the unit says a foul word.
Known issues:
There is a strange issue if used together with GMJ_Sightadjustment mod. Somehow GMJ mod overrides CfgSounds of my config with his CfgSounds, thus creating an error "Sound not found". Until i find a solution, i included a "fixed" version of GMJ mod, where I removed the click sound. (Won't affect gameplay anyway). It is compatible with my mod.
Another issue is that by fixing the jam you automatically load a fresh magazine. Can't do much about it.
AT AirWeapons Pack (http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=2298)
The "AT AirWeapons" contains a MK-77 delivered by AV-8 and A-10 and a MK-20 Rockeye delivered by A-10.
MK-77
The MK-77 is a canister containing flamable agents (Napthalin, Phosphor, Kerosin) which ignites on impact and destroys this way large areas. It's used by USAF in Iraq War III.
Features: -Realistic detonation
-Ignites units
-Burns the ground
-Destroys vegetation and buildings
-Leaves ashe
-Smoke and fire blocks AI's view
-MultiplayercompatibleMK-20 Rockeye
The MK-20 Rockeye is a Cluster bomb which releases after being dropped 247 socalled Bomblets (Submunitions) and causes damage to large areas. The MK-20 was created for busting tank formations. But some bomblets don't detoate and work like mines.
Features: -MK-20 splits after 3.5 seconds above 330ft in many small bomblets
-MK-20 is unarmed when releasing under 300ft and will hit the ground (Don't come too near, then)
-Bomb is splitting into two halfes
-Effective dammageradius between 20 and 600 Meters
-Some Bomblets stay and become landmines
-This addon is fully working in Multiplayer
-Working Damaging; Persons inside the Napalm will start burning and get killed
CSL Weapon Switching (http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=1987)
This script allows you to easily have a unit carry 2 primary weapons. For
example, it will allow you to equip a sniper with both an M24 and an MP5SD5.
It was originally made for the mission titled CO 1-2 Operation Shining Anvil (http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=1935&highlight=anvil) to enable the player sniper to carry an MP5 as well as the sniper rifle. I thought that it would prove to be very useful for some people. As always, feedback, bug reports, etc are welcome.
Features:
This script will work regardless of addons used.
Using this script will not give the players free rounds if they switch
weapons before a magazine is empty. They will retain the magazine with
the spent rounds.
Animation and sound played when the player switches weapons.
This script does not give the players extra ammo space, requiring them to
carefully balance their ammunition selections.
The player can pick up and drop weapons in either weapon slot at will.
Supports Join in progress, teamswitching, and all respawning modes.
There are 3 known issues that can not or will not be corrected due to arma
limitations.
1: The secondary weapon slot cannot be accessed inside the gear dialog on mission start. This is completely unchangable. I attempted to make an optional modified gear dialog for v1.1, but could not get arma to populate it. If you figure out a way to fix this somehow, be sure and let me know.
2: If you use the scripts on a very unusually sized unit, the algorithm to detect what posture the unit is in may fail. For example, a 50 foot giant would always return standing, and a 2 foot midget would always return prone. I consider this to be a minor issue.
3: It is possible to equip a large weapon (such a pk or m240) and an AT weapon at the same time using the following process.
A: Switch to weapon slot you wish to arm with both heavy weapons.
B: Pick up a machinegun or any weapon weapon considered to be large.
C: Switch to the other weapon slot.
D: Pick up the AT or AA weapon.
E: Upon switching to the weapon slot with the large weapon, both the heavy weapons will be available.
While this is a potential cheat, it is at least counterbalanced by the fact that these weapons have large bulky ammo. Since this script does not give the player extra ammo space, it will actually place a heavy handicap on the player that attempts to do this. The only way to fix this problem would be to require that all weapons be defined, which would make this script much less flexible.
Comments are greatly appreciated ;)
