Project 85 2.1 Relased
x/12/14
It’s finally ready !
P85 version 2.1 is mod mainly based on vilas assets with rewritten config to be ACE compatible. As we started to work with this mod, we were not determined to ever relase it for many reasons. One of them was a lot of rumors about vilas and his prejudices to ACE team and even to other polish community. The turning point was when vilas wrote to me about some others things and then we started to talk about his mods. Everything went smoothly enough that today we are able to relase without any stress.
As our clan is focused on realistic gameplay we tried to do our best and do as much research as possible. For sure a lot of people may be surprised when they will see many different languages in their game, but this is just one of our few features. Remember that few weapons are still being in use as a placeholders.
Hope this mod will find a place on your hard drives and hopefully not in a <refuse bin> 8)
FEATURES:
- Countless ACE compatible vehicles: lots of tanks, cars, IFVs and APCs for every factions (many national retextures included)
- Countless retextures of soldiers for every faction compatible with ACE magic boxes
- Lot of extra weapons (East Weapon Pack and West/Latin America Weapons packs are included)
- Realism enhancements: in most cases the equipment (for soldiers and vehicles) is referenced on our findings for example some IFVs may have Anti-tank in its inventory. Also we have no idea how community will react to 2d textures for tank’s crews (feedback on that case would be cool)
- ACRE compatible (Now a lot of vehicles have radio’s attached to them, and you are able to use it when you are in vehicle)
- 3 sides: NATO (US Army, British Army, Bundeswehr, Danish Army + Turkish and Greek placeholders) Warsaw Pact (Soviet Army, Polish People's Army, Czechoslovak People Army, Bulgarian Army), Partisans (IRA and placeholders for fictional partisans) - for full list with screenshots and class names check our wiki
ROADMAP:
- Our core will be getting MLODS from vilas to polish existing models and add more options to vehicles for example national decals or animations of raising the barrel when reloading in Russian tanks
- Edit and create new models for example creating IT-1 from T-64
- Make more 2D interior textures and add more realistic sights
- Add scripts for vehicle and cannons towing
- Rewrite whole mod to prepare it for porting to Arma 3
INSTALATION:
Extract @p85ace into Arma 2 OA directory then add the mods to the start up by adding -Mod=@p85ace; to the launch options. Remember: if you want to play P85 you need mods that are in requirements.
NOTE: This isn't an extension release, all mods included should be removed or just not run when playing P85 version 2.1
NOTE2: Mod was tested only on 1.63 and we won’t downgrade it.
