    • U can self interact under gear to remove polarization (without effecting the hud showing or not) and vacc seal.
  • Parachute LR doesnt bait you and is a parachute LR after deploying chute and when landing on ground (gives you the anc 515 or whatever). Since parachutes are vics when u deploy the LR channel values will change so dont forgor about that.
  • Added LR version of heavy rucksack: CE, Marine and Snow colors. Under Centurion Packs section.
  • Koso AA guys should have titan now instead of spanker.
  • ma39s returns. Has semi and 2 round burst. x2 and x4 scopes (m7 ofc).

    • plasma and 319 impact nades. Goes boom on hit. Basically a GL round thats thrown.
  • 9 bang GL.
    • 1rnd and 3rnd mags
    • all MAxxx variants (only 1rnd),
    • individual launchers both primary and secondary.
    • Made so that anything can now be a flashbang in the future (flashbang bombs @pegedsus?, flashbang elastic bandages????).
  • Sticky nade created
    • New Plasma, 3 second fuse

    • 319 version, 2 second fuse

    • sticky bomb, 6 seconds, basically Arma m112
    • Each has different settings like explosion, how long till they blow up after sticking and sticky effect.
    • Throwing with ace probably works fine, idk I couldnt find it failing sooooooo hopefully u dont become instant_grunt_4head.exe.
    • Working on adding a sound effect to play while stuckied, but thats later.
    • Inspiration from https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1528499292
  • Airburst rounds
    • Experimental, no where near balanced, the special gun that uses it is for test of concept/trying it out.
    • Ace self interaction, tho for somereason sometimes it doesnt spawn it, so I guess use the keybind (soon tm)
      • Must have the airburst gun and its under the equipment section in self interact
    • AI can airburst too, tho not change the distance (maybe in future soon tm?)
    • Press T (peep custom bindings under 1st meu) to auto set range at crosshair point
    • Different parameters like min/max distance to explode and a random +/- to the selected distance for variance.
    • Made a test oryx for vulcan't, <3
    • Added to GL for MAxxx series, the rounds are just copy of normal GL HE rounds so you can play with that if allowed by the nerds.
    • Basically uses the ACE airburst stuff thats on AA turret with some extra things to make work for arma man.

Balancing​

  • For reference:
    • Cent Basic Pack = 100
    • Cent Heavy = 250
    • Cent Medic = 300
    • ODST Heavy = 350
  • c12 placeable and throwable are now 100 (buff), c12 sticky is 10 (hella big nerf). Before placeable was 110, and throwable was 12
  • c12 throwable is now same as placeable (before it was way weaker)
  • m168 is now 250, so u can actually take it and not need the fucking medical backpack lol. Radius is now 15 (before 10) meters. Remember arma explosive damage goes out to x4 of radius, 15x4 = u guessed it 60 meters. Updated the effect to look like the cruise missile one lol.
  • c7 throwable is now 16, sticky is 20 and placeable is 16 (didnt change). Before throwable was 8 and placeable was 7.

Medical​

  • Recent ace update did some medical changes, as a result broke plasma weapons which do 0 damage
  • I think I restored plasma back to how to was before, but im an AFK nerd so idk.

Other Shit​

  • Began classname rework to not override optre/zulu stuff
    • First up is peggie with the pelican, everything is same except for the addition of single seater pelican so that pilot can tab lock
      • IE no copilot seat, in arma if a heli has no copilot seat then the pilot can tab lock. If it has copilot then go fuck ur self I guess????
      • So theres two version of pelicans now, old classname stuff is where they where, and new classname stuff. New classname stuff starts with [test]. So just keep using what u normally do, while also seeing if the [test] stuff works as they should.
  • Added MEU sabre, vtol and heli version. I am noble 6 now >:)
  • Started to try and reduce our mods dependencies on other stuff.

Bugz that are hopefully fixed now​

  • Fixed issue with 1st MEU changes to spartan shields, for a recap of what MEU changes are:
    • Added support for Elites, and future vests/armor/suits
      • Mission settings to customize the various elites shield modifiers
      • Mission settings support to add certain vests as shielded + their shield modifiers
      • Follows pattern of ["vest classname",number for shield multiplier]. One big array.
        • Example ["ur_cool_vest",1.54,"ur_cool_vest2",2.0]
        • Will give the first vest with 154 shield health (1.54x100)
        • Second is 200.
        • There is one bug, I dont think these play the lightning effect on hit. Will look into later, I wanna touch grass first.
    • Extra energy loss due to velocity of bullet
      • if typical speed is 900 to 1199 does x2 more
      • if typical sped is > or = to 1200 does x4 more
      • can do more different multipliers based of other stuff in future if need be
    • Added effect to play when shields are zero, same as hit but bigger. More Lightning go brrrrr.
  • Added mission file settings via CBA that allow you to change the shield modifier for each of the Sangheili vests we have. Under the 1st MEU section in game options. (Screenshot below)
