JTD_mines 0228
« on: 01 Mar 2010, 04:51:02 »
Finally a beta version of the JTD_mines, which at this point only has a claymore implemented. :)

Most recent vid:

Download:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/zzummy22ncd/JTD_Mines0228.7z

The archive contains the addon and a test mission, and readme docs.

Info (from the readme):

=====================================================
Credits/Thanks:
Pingu, for the ArmA version
OFPEC
- h- for setVariable help
- DeanosBeano for config help
ACE
- for inspiration and motivation
- Sickboy
PMC
- SnakeMan for support/testing

=====================================================
Mines that are placeable via the editor, scripting (spawning), and the player.  For mines placed by the player, a marker shows the placement.

The placed mines can be disarmed, with a small possibility of accidentally discharging the mine.  Units that are capable of disarming mines (Engineers and certain special forces) may also be able to pick up disarmed mines.

Player-placed mines can be sighted-in, attached to a tripwire, or triggered remotely.

=====================================================
Installation:

The archive contains a folder structure \@JTD\addons - simply extract the archive someplace and place the @JTD folder in your ArmA2 root folder.  There is also a \keys\ folder that contains the JTD bikey - place this file in the \keys\ folder in your ArmA2 root folder.

(This is the same installation as the other JTD addons, which you should already have.) ;)

More detailed installation:
Within the archive are 2 pbos (with signature files): Pingu_claymore_base and JTD_mines.  Place both of these in the addon folder of your choice.

More detailed information as to the implementation of the claymores in the readme for it.

Looks very interesting. Any indication of MP performance ?

Not yet.

The response has been underwhelming. :)

I'm pretty far along in the implementation of editor-placed IEDs, though.  I'm thinking once I release a new version with that, it will get some more attention, as it is a "newer" concept.

Edit:
Speaking of which... a POC vid of the IED additions for the next release:
