RPT steerable skydive and steerable parachute system (with "kick" weapon)

(1/4) > >>

Raptorsaurus:
RPT_SteerabelChute system for OFP-Resistance 1.91 or later.

This is my first publicly submitted addon. Everything works great, except I had the bright idea to add a weapon to the parachute that enables the player to swoop down and kick an enemy in the head before landing. The weapon works and you can actually kick a unit in the head (try the demos attached). The problem is that the darn weapon makes a muzzle flash. I need help to eliminate this flash. It is pretty dumb looking that kicking would make a bright flash at night and a puff of smoke in the day (the smoke problem is now fixed but the flash problem remains). I tried experimenting with the config but now I need help because I am out of ideas.

Some features of the RPT_SteerableChute system:


* Parachute has realistic control and glide ratio. It is based on a high-glide parachute system (see link below)
* Sky diving pack also has realistic control/fall rate/glide ratio. Scripting and careful geometry makes it stable, but unable to "glide" as is the case with some other sky diving addons.
* AI units will stay in formation with their leader (leader can be AI or player).
* An all AI squad can skydive and parachute (included scripts facilitate this).
* Scripts included to help mission makers use this addon for HALO or HAHO jumps from aircraft, including all AI squads.
* Player can swoop down and kick an enemy (weapon resets, so you could potentially kick more than one guy).
* Life vest will deploy if parachute lands in water. The life vest is also useable with other vehicles and allows men to swim.
* Detailed usage instructions in addon folder.http://www.airborne-sys.com/pages/view/hi-glide-system

Attached is a zip file containing threefour demo missions, the RPT_SteerableChute.pbo file, the unPBOed folder (so it is easier for you modeling and config gurus to examine it and help me). There is also RPT_SteerableChute Instructions.rtf and Readme First.txt.

* July 10, 2009 - Changed config.ccp to eliminate vehicle light from parachute and skydiver pack.
* June 18, 2010 - Changed config.ccp for more realistic camouflage parameters, night time spotable coefficients and parachute pilot ability to id targets.
* Dec. 11, 2011 - Added life vest for water landings. (Also useable for other water craft and for soldiers swimming.)
* v. 1.1, May 6, 2012 - Added "vector dots" to help with navigation and maneuvering during sky diving and parachute flight.

* v. 1.3, June 18, 2014 - Fixed error in the function "MovePosAcc.sqf" that caused improper trajectory calculations.

Walter_E_Kurtz:
Error on starting OFP: "No entry 'config.bin/CfgAmmo/KozliceShell.simulation'."

Crashes when loading demo missions.


I'll have another try later.

Planck:
Strange stuff, cfgAmmo.kozliceShell doesn't require a simulation parameter.

Raptorsaurus:
That is very stange. I have no problems running it. I have OFP GOTY updated to 1.96. Maybe you are trying it with pre-resistance OFP? I know that the Kozlice Shotgun was not added until OFP Resistance. Anyway, I could change it to use a pre-resistance bullet type and then just make it a burst effect with good dispersion.

Also, I solved the smoke problem for day missions. An old post by Colonel Klink at the BIS forums helped me with that, but I still get the flash at night. I have updated the download to beta v2(beta v6). It has the non-smoking kick for day missions and no longer uses a modified Kozlice ammo type for the RPT_Kick ammo. I still need help getting rid of the muzzle flash at night. Hopefully the updated ammo type will solve that wierd KozliceShell error.

Walter_E_Kurtz:
I don't have conclusive proof, but I suspect part of the problem may have been that you didn't include the class hierarchy under CfgAmmo, CfgWeapon and CfgVehicle - I don't know whether it's essential or just good practice.

Before
--- Code: ---class cfgAmmo
{
     class KozliceShell {};
class RPT_Kick : KozliceShell
{
   ...
};

     class LaserGuidedBomb {};
class RPT_KickLegs : LaserGuidedBomb
{
--- End code ---

After
--- Code: ---class cfgAmmo
{
class Default{};
class BulletSingle : Default {};
class BulletBurst : BulletSingle {};
class KozliceShell : BulletBurst {};
class RPT_Kick : KozliceShell
{
   ...
};

class LaserGuidedBomb : Default {};
class RPT_KickLegs : LaserGuidedBomb
{
--- End code ---

Similarly, for CfgWeapons (your version remindered with //)
--- Code: ---class cfgWeapons
{
class Default {};
class LAWLauncher : Default {};
class CarlGustavLauncher : LAWLauncher {};
class AT3Launcher : CarlGustavLauncher {};
class HellfireLauncher : AT3Launcher {};
class MaverickLauncher : HellfireLauncher {};
// class MaverickLauncher {};
class RPT_Kick : MaverickLauncher
{
--- End code ---

And finally, CfgVehicles
--- Code: ---class CfgVehicles
{
class All {};
class AllVehicles : All {};
class Air : AllVehicles {};
class Plane : Air {};
class A10 : Plane {};
class Cessna : A10 {};
// class Cessna {};
class RPT_SteerableChute: Cessna
{
--- End code ---

Making the above changes (to version 1) allowed me to start OFP with no error. Trying one of the demo missions, or placing a RPT unit in the editor, crashed OFP.


Update: removed all third-party addons from \AddOns folder, added RPT_SteerableChute v3, launched OFP. Still crashes on trying one of the demo missions or on placing a RPT unit.
