ace interaction compat pls

can you make a way where ai units can use this maybe by having a clothing item but idk how arma mods work

I have a levitation solution you flashlightmod :)

Feint, I see there was a plan to implement hiding the physical light and also using the new features introduced in the last arma update. Is this still in progress or have you stopped work? Thanks.

So any chance for that new version?

wehre is the red flashlight?!!!?

Any news on the updated version? Have you found some time to test it out?

I can try to implement a system for moving the light around, saving that location, hiding the physical flashlight as an option and then remembering those variables for the player. Not sure how well it will work in multiplayer, but for SP I think I can do it. I am running out of keys to use on the keyboard for all the options though. Haha. And I don't know how to use displays and interfaces.

v- this -v

Is there anyway to remove the torch's model/ move the light position cause I'm using some gears that already have flashlight mounted on the rigs.
Great mod btw

Wow, this looks incredible!

Looks awesome

Check out my online gallery for some preview pics of the new version: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/id/feint/screenshots/?appid=107410&sort=newestfirst&browsefilter=myfiles&view=grid

That's interesting. I can test that to make sure it still works. The new version uses the new tech that BI finally put in the game after nearly 4 years of asking for it...basically the same types of light that comes out of a flashlight or a car's headlight, but scriptable so you can put it on a shoulder. It's pretty cool because you can change the "focus" of the light like a real flashlight, you can change the brightness and you can FINALLY use an IR filter that projects light only seen in NV goggles.

Whoa, an update!?! Damn, I'm looking forward to it then!

I'm really loving this mod because it pairs pretty well with Ace's map brightness (by default, pitch black at night). Turning on this shoulder lamp brightens up the map to be readable again. That and it looks very cinematic when this mod is paired with "Cinematic Lens Flare".

Thanks Marc! I actually have an update ready to go. Gotta find time to upload it and test it.

Awesome mod. Still works well despite the last update being in 2017 lol.

Probably not

Any chance to make this MP compat in the future?

Hi Feint. Would it be possible to include the bikey for your mod in your modfiles in a "keys" folder like most other mods do? We are using automated scripts for our server which doesn't work when the key is not included.

RTFM

i cant find the lights where are the located

You can do that in ACE

Is it too much to ask for a clientside mod to be able to attach chemlights/smoke grenades to vehicles? I'll buy you a couple beers for it. lol

Yes, the brightness is configurable via the key commands.

mine isnt bright at all any way to change that?

Thanks. Just wait for the new version to come out. It will be even better. Just waiting for BI to release the next version of the platform from devbranch.

Absolutely fantastic mod, goes perfect with OPTRE for a sci-fi marines feel!

TOH - Static Civilian Ships: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=726018198&searchtext=cargo+ship

what mod is the cargo ship in the 8th image?

The only way to make it IR-only is to subscribe to the DevBranch. I just researched it and it looks like Arma 3 version 2.06 will include this feature. Not sure when that's coming out, but even better news: scriptable directional lights will also come out then. That's huge. I can finally make this light directional, instead of being light points. I just tested the new features in the DevBranch and it seems to be working great.

if you could make a static IR version that would be nice

I don't see why not.

Will this work with Prairie Fire?

Thank you!

Lovely mod thank you

No, but you can read the description above and download the bikey that way.

Certain light sources like strobes and tracers have a config value called NVGonly=1 which makes the light they project only visible in NV goggles. But unfortunately, if you try to set that for other light sources like headlights or flashlights or light sources, it doesn't work. This is an engine limitation. I recommend submitting a ticket to BI to get them to change this.

i belive ir is white

If you can tell me what color IR light is, I can try. I tried to do this in the past, but you have to set the color of light to some 255 number and none of them looked like IR to me.

Yo we need an IR version of this

Try disabling all addons except CBA and then seeing if it works for you. Then add on the other addons and mods you are using and see which one is causing a conflict.

Loading it in the launcher?

???

Try enabling it in your launcher.

It does not show up in Configure Addons section, not on CBA or the Shoulder Mounted Light section.

@Sinn this addon is probably best for single player. if you're looking for a multiplayer headlamp, look at the one made by I believe @sanchez.

by client side do you mean no other players will see the light source?

Thanks. Yeah, after years of fighting it, I've semi-retired from Arma modding mainly because of that.

Thanks for trying Feint. I know the feeling of being frustrated by arma b.s. cluster-effy-ness. :)
