@G.I. Joe Yes! I started reworking my mod recently, my goal is to have a single all-in-one mod eventually. Compatibility with the new JSRS is supposed to be part of it. I don't want to make any promises though, Arma and gaming are not my highest priorities in life at the moment.

Any plans on doing a compat with the new JSRS?

@IPandaKnightI Hey man, you might want to check out DynaSound 2 in combination with my mod. Discovered this last week myself. Makes 30 mm impact sound pretty brutal. :D
PandaKnight 1 Aug, 2021 @ 11:45am 
okay well thats the only thing i think is lacking. The damage and effects are pretty spot on i would like to see the sound of the impacts soon

@IPandaKnightI Thanks for the feedback!
I didn't MAKE any of these sounds. I found high quality recordings and was able to obtain licenses for them. All I did was editing and tweaking them.
The impact sounds are the ones that come with the Arma engine. I couldn't find any high-quality recording to replace them yet.

do u think u could make the impacts sound better? i think the damage and effects are solid tho

Hey guys, I just patched all my mods!
A separate version for ACE compatibility should no longer be necessary, found a simpler and integrated solution instead. :)
Let me know if you still have any issues!

Thank you! I know the ACE planes class starts with a B, im unsure if that affects the scripts config or if it affects how it applies the new maincannon over the it. But looking forward to the compat!
Sassafras  [author] 19 May, 2021 @ 4:15pm 
Thanks for the detective work! That explains why I never had this issue since I‘m not playing with ACE. I‘ll look into it. Shouldn’t be a problem to make a compat. :)
Chaos 19 May, 2021 @ 3:24pm 
I see that ACE changes the default A-164 and places theirs instead. Think you can make an ACE compat ?
Chaos 19 May, 2021 @ 3:15pm 
When ACE is loaded it changes the name of the Maincannon to Gau-8 and bugs it instead of minigun 30mm. I have no idea why ACE is conflicting with it tho.
Chaos 19 May, 2021 @ 3:01pm 
I am now confident that its ACE doing it.

I tried the vanilla one too and it broke as well. When I use a firesupport CAS run from the ZEUS modules it works just fine for the AI piloted A-164 Wipeout. But as mundy said I also only fire a single shot when I am piloting it. Quite the odd interaction. Ima try unloading all mods but yours and see if it works. Than slowly start adding mods till 1 breaks it.

@ChaosNarwhal I haven't heard of OPTRE before. Is it this mod you're having trouble with?
Sassafras  [author] 14 May, 2021 @ 12:53pm 
@mundy Yeah, that's the thing. I don't see a way of setting up the sound without overwriting the GAU-8's settings. :/
Otherwise the gun's settings wouldn't match my sounds for it. I only have decent sound files for a 1 and 2 second burst (that's the only two firemodes the real A-10 has anyway, as far as I know) and the vanilla minigun normally has a full auto mode. Without me messing with the settings you'd HEAR a short burst but you could continue firing the gun indefinitely.

Did you find out what mod messes with mine? If you do I should be able to create a compatibilty version of my mod for you.

I think a version with the sounds but without the GAU-8 script for fire modes would fix the problem. What I've noticed is that something is intefering with the script and making the A-10 only fire a single round per burst.
The sounds are fantastic, losing the GAU-8 sound would be very sad

However, I have no experience with modding, so I don't know how that would work without the weapon script.
Sassafras  [author] 13 May, 2021 @ 3:20pm 
The only thing I could do is creating another mod that will only bring my engine sounds, without any sounds or changes to the GAU-8. If that would help?
Sassafras  [author] 13 May, 2021 @ 3:17pm 
@ChaosNarwhal Thanks for the info! Yeah, my mod isn't fully compatible with anything but the vanilla A-164, either with or without JSRS. It may lead to weird behavior if there's any other mod that is modifying it. There's too many mods out there, I can't factor them all in. :(
Chaos 13 May, 2021 @ 1:40pm 
I was having the same issue as mundy, I was using the A-164 from the OPTRE pack tho. If that can conflict some how.
M 6 May, 2021 @ 12:11pm 
I will test to see which mod is imcompatible later, if I find the one causing the problems I'll let you know! Thanks for the response :D
Sassafras  [author] 5 May, 2021 @ 12:54pm 
@mundy Weird. I'm using 40+ mods myself, haha. Try loading the game just with my mod and JSRS and see if it works correctly. You can then load the rest of your mods step by step to see which aren't compatible. :)
M 5 May, 2021 @ 12:40pm 
Hey. I got quite a few mods but none of them for the A-164. Might be one of them, but not sure which.
Sassafras  [author] 5 May, 2021 @ 12:20pm 
@mundy Hey man, just tested again and I don't have this problem. My GAU-8 is working like it should be. Are you using any other mod for the A-10/A-164? They might not be compatible.
M 5 May, 2021 @ 9:29am 
For some reason the fire modes are not working. 1 second and 2 second bursts both fire 1 round each, only changes the sound and ammo consumption.
Is there a way to disable the changes to the GAU-8 and only enable the sounds?

@Sassafras , thanks author . have a nice day :steamthumbsup:
Sassafras  [author] 2 May, 2021 @ 2:56pm 
@ducphuli Thanks man! I'd love to also include good impact sounds, but I didn't find any decent sound files yet. I'll keep looking! :P
minhduc-dev 2 May, 2021 @ 1:00pm 
Good mod, will there be sound when the bullet lands? :steamhappy:
Sassafras  [author] 1 May, 2021 @ 4:49pm 
@Floppy401 Glad the problem solved itself. :D
Floppy401 1 May, 2021 @ 2:04pm 
I didn't load the Core mod like an idiot.
Sassafras  [author] 1 May, 2021 @ 1:58pm 
@Floppy401 Hey man, thanks for getting in touch. Did you also load the A-10-tastic Core and JSRS? What plane were you using? I don't have this issue at all and I have 40+ other mods installed.
Floppy401 1 May, 2021 @ 1:44pm 
Unfortunately, with this mod loaded the aircraft produces no sound at all.
