Wombat50's "Migryder Festival Mod"


Recommended Posts

I use this as my personal mod for SP. Had it on my mind to release it but it needs allot more work and I think it would be hard to get permissions. Really to lazy to ask for them.

Cheers

Thanks Led and Giampi. The music is Protectors of the Earth by Two Steps From Hell. It was used as the main theme for "Vietnam in HD" a History Channel series.

And God is it awesome, if you like that music PM me I know quite a lot of similar groups and tracks

Wow. Wombat, it would be a real shame if you didn't release this as a mod! If you don't feel like getting permissions for a standalone why not at least release it as an add-on mod for YOTM?

BTW, admittedly it's been many years, but when I contacted YOTM's map makers (IIRC it was Sleeper, OSO, and Don Miguel) they were all fine with sharing, so maybe you should at least give it a try?

I have gotten lazy about this.

I have made a bunch of "adjustment mods" for our team. Blood Oil, Rockall, YOTM, Alpha Squad 2.6, Centcom ,Clear and Present Danger and to the the original game and expansion packs. Most of my edits are weapon/explosion sounds, Male Voice sounds, Ghost skins, command map edits, .kil files for MP, skyboxes and overall map appearance.

It wouldn't be a huge job to compile them all into one mod but getting mod creators permission could be a problem in some cases. Tinker has given permission for BO and Rockall and I think Thumper is somewhat active for CAPD so I'd probably hear from him. AS_Bueghler could probably get a hold of Robalo who put together AS 2.6.

That leaves Centcom and YOTM. Tried to PM jay316 about Centcom but got an error message that he is not accepting PMs. I only know OSO from YOTM and I get no response from him. I'll see if I can get the needed permissions.

Currently this is what has me distracted. I'm still in the testing stage as it can take forever to figure out how to get things to work in Arma 2.

Strictly YouTube fare.

I used this in the init line of the units to change the texture of woodlander_v2:

this setObjectTexture [0,"woodlander_v2_co.paa"];

It is only possible to do the diffuse with PS this way. I would have to have allot more patience to edit the normal, specular maps etc.

GR is so much easier to change textures, lol.

To make them all Chinese I stumbled on this and put it in the init.sqf:

for "_i" from 0 to (count _allunits)-1 do {
_unit = _allunits select _i;
if (side _unit in _sides) then {
_num = 108 + (floor (random 17));
_face = format ["Face%1_PMC",_num];
_unit setFace _face;
_unit disableConversation true;
};
sleep 0.01;
};

_num = 108 refers to this: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA_2:_CfgIdentities#Face108_PMC

and uses the next 16 randomly

Been working on and tweaking sounds and

also having a review of some of the maps I have done adjustments for.

Mainly working with the ground_dms levels and saturation and I might lighten the fog if I think it needs to be brighter.

I always thought GR was too dark and under saturated but maybe it was more my computer in the past instead of the game.

Short vid below about newer stock M4 weapon sound.

Thanks. Working on sounds for the stock game right now. Made dozens of sounds in the past and listening to them now, allot of them don't suit me. The M4 sound in the vid is a sniper rifle sound I really liked that I sped up quite a bit. Messing with high and low pass filters, and the speed can change a decent sound where it can be used for another weapon.

I have decided to experiment with saving the sounds in 44Hz instead of 22Hz.

I record some really good weapon sounds from YT but after reducing them to 22hz, mono

most of them are meh...

Pretty sure weapon sounds crash the game in stereo but I'll check again.
