Howdy folks, we've introduced a new mod pack for the server, known from now onwards as SHQV3. This completely replaces the current addon set and will be required for play from now on!!

You can find the links in the sticky thread here

http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3732626/SimHQ_Arma3_multiplayer_-_Star#Post3732626

THESE MODS WILL BE REQUIRED FOR NEXT WEEKS PLAY!!

its a big download so get it downloaded now!

So whats new? well theres new maps, new guns, new units, new ai settings (no more 10+ shots to kill em), as well as a ton of other little things that are mostly back end and wont ever be seen, just felt!

Also just to clarify any doubts

THESE MODS WILL BE REQUIRED FOR NEXT WEEKS PLAY!!

So should I install now? I'd hate to override SHQv2 only to find out that I cannot play on Monday with the SHQv3 mod.

Just kidding

Woohoo!

And for those wondering, yes you can totally delete the old V2 addons and maps.

You'll still need CBA, or course.

I don't know. I'm not clear if this will be required for next week or not.



The Jedi Master

Have you ever thought of setting up arma3sync for the modpack?

Thanks for the update meat. I'll download these tonight.

If we already downloaded it for Saturday last week, were any changes made that mean redownloading since then?

If you downloaded from the sticky, then you're up to date. If you downloaded from Meatshield's PM then he sent an update round (~600mb) in the same PM thread.

Someone send me that update. I never made it into the original PM and adlabs forwarded me the original files.

I'll get them to you bonchie, standby for a PM.

just a little note, the new sounds they introduced with the latest patch sound more tolerable if you remove the "tao_noclousersounds.pbo" from the @SHQV3/addon folder, wont break anything if you leave it in, its just a little sound tweak.

Does that relate to the mission comms traffic I am experiencing with SimHQ V3? Ai comms that is?

Some people were complaining about the ai chatter (Tanker,J'accuse!), so Meat put in a mod that removes it. Go into the mod and remove Agm_noradio to get the ai comes back. It won't break anything.

For further information, NoClosureSounds was a mod to disable the loud clicking noise that the bolt made on a lot of the guns. A lot of people were feeding back that it was unrealistically loud. The mod removed those sounds so the sound of the bullet was more prominent.

I believe the modpack introduces new sounds where the closure noises are less overbearing so you can bring them back by disabling the mod.

It also removes the call outs from your avatar about infantry it has seen, but you havnt



half right tao's fantastic little mod just removed the closure sounds, you can see a before and after here

BI however just introduced new gun sounds in the latest patch where the default guns actually sound a bit like a gun and not a plastic clicking toy, so whilst keeping taos mod in doesnt break anything at all (its just a little config tweak) the default guns sound a little bit better without it, of course if you use one of the many sound mods it has 0 effect anyway :P

There might be a _small_ problem with the opium, and maybe the trees, on the Fata map? Apparently you can't shoot through them. I had a CSAT guy hiding in the field and when I tracked him down, neither of us could kill the other, no matter the angle, grenades or guns. It's like the hit box for the opium bush was bullet proof and we were both sitting in it.
