Is there a way to get this working with A3TI? I've tried to take a look but my c++ knowledge is dogwater

@Tic Use IR Chem Lights from ACE

Fairly sure this mod is broken, keep getting disappearing strobes on MP

Is it possible to make an Epilepsy-friendly option? like a consistent, constant IR instead of flashing?

Any way to get this to work with A3 Thermal Enhancement? They mention you in their credits, but then your strobe doesn't work with their improved thermals.

Timey, yes, that should be possible. Honestly I don't know when I'll get to it though. Someone had developed their own strobe system, you may want to see if it has the feature you're looking for.

Thanks

Is it possible to make a strobe that flashes only thermally so that when night fighting near peer factions only our air assets can see us with thermals?

Can you add the function of switching mode (flashing and constant light)? and please add A3TI compatibility if possible, it would really help

"supposedly" heh, doubt BI are going to give any significant information in the slightest -- lets hope im wrong

We'll supposedly find out tomorrow, eh? Lol

Ah, that's understandable -- hopefully in A4 lmfaooo

Django: it would require a pretty significant rework.

WillKMJ: the only visible effects I've come across are explosion effects. It might be possible to "fake".

I don't have any near-term plans of updating this, unfortunately.

I may get to it someday.

Thanks

Hey. Is it possible to make Your strobes compatible with A3TI mod?

Is there a possibility to get an option for a visible strobe?

I have both head-mounted strobes, this one and No Helmet Req IR Strobe, and with yours now the other no longer works but yours doesn't flash and is steady, which is what I wanted in the first place. So it's a win in my case, even though it's apparently a bug.

thank you

I believe that will be in-game time

by lasting 5 hours is it in-game hours or irl hours

Reticuli: There is not. The intent was to model after products that currently exist.

NOva: not yet but I haven't forgotten about it

Any way to stop it from blinking and just stay on?

Hello, it's me again. Just wanna ask if there any luck with adding new flash shape?
Thank you in advance!

Thanks for the info, looking forward to the next update! :)

Ah, gotcha. It looks like they based their system off my addon. I can ask them if I can use the custom "flare" effect they use. It may be a while until I can get to it though.

Thanks

Fat_Lurch: Yep, it always happens when I play with friends, didn't test it in a SP mission. We've verified the mod through launcher a couple of times, didn't work. Maybe it happens because of ACE updates?

About strobe effect: you were saying in the description that flash shape is a bit ugly, wanna to ask if there any chance the shape will be changed/reworked?
Found a mod "Thermal and NVG IFF beacon", thermal signature in there is good, but I don't want to use that mod because player can't use beacon for marking vehicles, buildings, area etc.
Your mod is multipurpose in this regard.

Only thing is nice there is strobe shape, is there a chance that your strobes will have similar shape?

Thanks for the reply!

NOva: is there any chance that's happening in a multi-player environment? Perhaps the server or a peer isn't running the addon?

What update to the strobe effect were you proposing?

I wouldn't call my mods "abandoned", but I haven't been able to work on them recently due to work.

Thanks

Hello! Do you have any plans for updating the strobe effect?
Also found a bug, after 5 minutes attached strobe disappears, but flashing effect doesn't. It keeps flashing in the air for 5 hours without any possibility to get rid of it.
It will be really cool if you could fix this.

P.s. love this mod, it's best in the IFF category, hope you didn't abandon it :)

The -1 flashes once, the -2 flashes twice. I don't recommend using the -2 on anything moving because the effect lags

What is the difference between the 1 and 2 strobe items?

Glad youre enjoying it! Thanks

Ahh I see, I'm late to the party sorry! If anything this mod is a must for me because of the fact you've made the strobes last longer than 5 minutes haha.

A3TI doesn't use the actual thermal system in ARMA. This is a known issue.

So as of this moment, the thermal strobes don't work with A3TI. Has any progress been made on figuring out why?

Thanks Luke. Right now my strobe only works with A3TI in their night time mode. I've been meaning to make this work but it's a fairly significant pain in the ass, haha

Tested on Chernaurus and Altis worked fine and spotted the MS IFF Strobe through thermals at night.

I think it wasn't working due to the virtual reality area having no natural light (i.e. moon) and no landscape.

Another thing I spotted, I know Arma 3 Thermal Improvement mod is popular so I tested it with it on using some RHS vehicles and it doesn't seem to pick up the strobe in thermal mode.

Is it ok if I send over a few pics to you for comparison/further explanation?

Gotcha. Did you have the same results in other maps?

Yeah that's what I meant, apologies for not clarifying.

You said IR grenade: the literal vanilla IR grenades do not have the thermal strobe feature. There's a new item called an MS IFF Strobe that does. That could be why you're not seeing the effect.

@Fat_Lurch

Apologies, I tested this in virtual arsenal, changing the time of day to 12am - 2am so it was in complete darkness.

I threw down the IR grenade and it worked fine in Night Vision however when changing to thermal vision, the IR grenade did not flash and was not being picked up. I used the Apex ENVGs.

It could be that it was in the virtual reality map, I will look at testing this on other maps just to make sure.

Luke, I'm confused by your comment - I wouldn't expect light conditions to change thermal imaging. Can you explain further and/or post a video?

Thanks

The IR strobe in thermal imaging does not work in low light conditions. Can this be looked into and fixed?

Kewl Mod.

NOİCE

Hey, the strobes don't seem to be lasting 5 hours, not sure if it's a bug or something.

Edit: i can see NVIR but i still cant see strobe under Thermals, vanilla or A3TI

im having trouble seeing the strobe from above, at least from 2000 meters away i cant see the strobe in thermals or night vision

Fat_Lurch Awesome! Hopefully there will be compatibility soon!

NaCl-y: I haven't figured out how to set these up so they cna be used the way you describe yet. I'll try to see if I can get that worked out.

PS1 Hagrid: I *hope* I can get it working - I'm in contact with the devs for A3TI

This is a great mod! Any chance you will make this compatible with A3TI? The strobes only work when using the night vision thermal fusion mode which can only be used at night. The normal thermal mode doesn't show the strobes as far as I know. Thanks and keep up the awesome work!!

I can't seem to find the custom strobe objects in the empty class in the Eden Editor to manually place/attatchTo certain objects- am I being dense or is there no way to currently spawn in the custom strobes with the Eden editor?

No problem Cobra. Thanks for asking
