6thSense.eu Presents: Pack1 v0.4. ArmA v1.08+ Compatible. (By Sickboy)

This package contains 7 Modules by 6thSense.eu:

• 6thSense.eu Tools - Contains tools like GroupMarkerTracking, BodyRemover, etc. etc.
• 6thSense.eu UI - Ui Enhancements, alike TrueIngameUI, but bigger gearmenu, compass and some placements.
• 6thSense.eu Blood - Enables Unit Dammage (Bleeding etc) and Special Blood Squirt Effects

• 6thSense.eu Tracers - Enables Tracers for MG's & Vehicle Weapons
• 6thSense.eu EditorUpdate - Enables otherwise hidden classes inside the editor so you can place them :)

You do not have to use every module. SIX_Misc.pbo is the only one that is required by the other Modules
ExtendedEventhandlers by Solus & Killswitch is now also a requirement

Installation

• Place the Addon folder: @SIX_Pack1 into your ArmA Installation Folder (remove any of the addons you don't want to use, except SIX_Misc)
• Place the dta folder into your ArmA Installation Folder, so the contents of the dta folder should be copied to your arma\dta folder
• Place the wanted Keys and SignFiles in place. I signed every addon twice: Once with individual keys for server operators that only wish to allow some components and once with the SIX_Pack1_04 key to allow all at once.
• Edit your ArmA shortcut to include the mod, add: -mod=@SIX_Pack1
  • or if you have multiple mods, per example: -mod=@ModWar;@MAP_Air;@SIX_Pack1
• If you wish Place the Demo Missions in your Missions or MPMissions folder and experiment

Notes

• You can remove any Addon from the pack, except SIX_Misc.pbo (and ExtendedInitEventHandlers) as it is required for most of the other modules
• The EditorUpdate can be used fully independent from all other content!

Reporting Bugs

Please report bugs in our Bug Tracker (please pick the proper Project and other options, aswell as first check if the bug isn't already reported, thanks!)

Content Documentation

Misc

This SIX_Misc addon will be used by many of the 6thSense.eu Addons.
It contains many functions and scripting logics which are used by other scripts.
Main Features:

• 6thSense.eu SIX_Base Functions
• 6thSense.eu Network Services v2

Try 6thSense.eu Mod, which adds on top of all these goodies a huge Addon Base with many different camo's, vehicles etc. etc

Demo Missions

• None ATM

Notes

• You can also place the SIX_Misc addon into any other modfolder to your likings..
• The script uses the isServer function (introduced in v1.07beta+), it will however create a server logic for legacy purposes, if there is none available
• One can make his mission permanent compatible with SIX_Misc, even when there are all vehicles, units etc. placed on the map that would have overwritten init eventhandlers, is to add to the mission init.sqf the following code:

  private ["_miscInit"];
  _miscInit=getText (configFile >> "SIX_Misc_EventHandlers" >> "Init");
  if(_miscInit !== "")then{call compile _miscInit};

This is even compatible with servers or clients that don't have the addon!! There should be no error if there is no SIX_Misc addon. But when a client has it installed, it will be enabled

Tracers

This Tracer Addon uses a tracer model instead of particle source.
We are still considering using a particle source at the bullet as ignition/light source.
FPS should be seriously increased compared to the hundreds/thousands of particles we used before ;-)

This tracer addon is based on many peoples addons, ideas, thoughts and other contributions.
Though the current state of the package; config wise, model wise and script wise is a nearly
completely rewritten and rebuild package, by Sickboy and Garlay.
Credits are found at the end of this Readme.

Demo Missions

• Demo1: Incl. Day & Night Time Choice
• Demo2: Incl. Tracer Configuration on Mission Level, please review h\SIX_TracersCfg.hpp

Notes

• Rifle Tracers are enabled by default, unless the "Rifle Bullet Tracers" difficulty option is set to "Disabled", or if you override through SIX_Tracers.hpp
• The Mod disables default BIS Tracers, if you still see them you probably did not install the Addon right
  • Or another mod is overwriting ours, please disable others systematicly to check.
• You can also place the SIX_Misc/Tracer addon into any other modfolder to your likings.. just make sure the dta folder has the .hpp files
• More Readme, Info, Screenshots, Demo Missions etc. etc. coming!
• One can make his mission permanent compatible with SIX_Tracers, please review SIX_Misc Readme

EditorUpdate

Getting Started

Introduction

This is EditorUpdate unlocks objects (scope=2) that are normally hidden in the editor (scope=1). This will enable access to these objects in the editor, specially handy to mission editors. This patch is backward compatible with original BIS files. Missions created with these objects & units will work even on machines where this patch isn’t installed!

Contents

• All buildings and objects that were hidden by default configuration, findable in the classes: Buildings and Ruins
• Hidden Units like Marian Quandt, Prime Minister, and more.

Credits

• Karel85 (His first ArmA editor addon was the inspiration for this idea)
• Posters on the BIS Forum Thread about Germany1985’s editor addon: Bis Forums Thread

FAQ

Is this addon "compatible" to G85's Editor Update?

Yes, 1 way.
Missions made with this editor addon will work even when you don't have this editor addon installed.
But, missions made with G85's Editor Update, will not work if you don't have their addon installed.
