MODs & add-ons

[DoubleD]

I'm not so keen on the blood mist mod, seems a little BF to me. Also not sure if it will impact FPS? I want to check out the map though, looks funky.

I have added VTS Weapon Resting and ShackTac Fireteam HUD to the server.

NOTE: These are client side only mods but needed the keys uploaded to allow them to be used.
They are also allowed on the ahoyworld servers which I play on frequently.

I noticed Task Force Radio also seems to be on the server and working?

How do I use the VTS rest. Couldn't work that out so stopped using it.

 

[Spear]

Default keys are L Control + Space.

Just walk up to something you could rest your weapon on and press the keys together you should then get a image appear on the left side of the screen showing a weapon with a tripod. To turn it off just move away from the object you are resting on.

 

[Spear]

I uploaded task force radio but haven't had the chance to test it out yet.

 

[Bootie]

I mentioned ShackTac Fireteam HUD previously and someone complained.

 

[Spear]

I found it very useful on public servers because it displays a list of your squad mate names.

 

[Bootie]

Someone complained saying it wouldn't be accepted on public servers as it would be seen as gamey or something along those lines. Was it you or Rambler said that?

 

[Spear]

I honestly can't recall if I said anything, I do remember thinking along those lines at the time.
I do still think its a bit unrealistic (in a military sim) to have the compass thing it provides (showing where your team is in relation to yourself). But am willing to turn a blind eye to that as I find it invaluable just being able to see a list of your squad mate names and what they have equipped (which you would know in RL) since you are often split up over the map.

 

[Bootie]

Yeah it most probably was you then and I cant be assed looking back to confirm because it matters nought.... LMAO.

I must be a visionary.

I have used it and it works great.

I was playing on the 3 Commando Brigade sever during the week playing on one of the maps from the map pack fighting the Taliban. Here's a few screenies.

My first kill.

Typical house

View from a villa we searched for WMD's.

View from a villa we searched for WMD's.

Did you find any?

 

[DoubleD]

I've run with 3CB a few times, they use Takistan and Zargabad to very good effect. I've been playing with those maps and Alive the last week and have something we could try out on Sunday after Bootie's scenario if anyone can stay on.

 

[Nathangun]

Did you find any?

Ironically, no.

 

[Ithikial]

As mentioned on Sunday.
@ADF - For that special Australian touch. (Desert Camo with matching boonie/helmets, rucksacks and vests).




Also searching through a couple of German packs, but the built in scope of the G36A1 just doesn't work. Still searching for a suitable mod.

 

[Septic Limb]

You need a big roo painted on the side of your helmet.

 

[Ithikial]

Well it does have the Australian flag. Quick video preview I made. HD should be up momentarily.

And there's a Roo on the chest vest.

 

[Fizou]

I think I have worked out withsix and the mods you guys have listed on the last op. Hope to join in on a session soon

 

[DoubleD]

The more the merrier. We are running a story thread, check out the deployment AAR here http://www.thefewgoodmen.com/thefgmforum/threads/fgm-deploy-to-takistan.19635/#post-162487

Mod's may change slightly as we progress but I'll ensure everything is explained in the posting referring to the op date.
