Suggestion - Additional Vehicles

[Uro]

@vbawol

 

Every now and then people put up requests for extra vehicles, some of them are completely OP and more akin to Arma 2  than Dayz / Epoch Mods.

 

Without having a comprehensive list of vehicle addons to rule out, I though I'd make a shortlist.

 

Here are a selection of some I think you should at least try to obtain permission to use in Epoch:

 

 

 

LAND VEHICLES:

 

CARS:

 

Holden / Opel Monaro

Obviously not all of these will work with Epoch, but hopefully there's some food for thought for the dev's in there somewhere.

 

The civvy pack would be cool and add some more colour to the vehicles we can use in Epoch :D :P

 

Same with the Gazells and Bell 206B Heli's :)

 

 

Discuss :D

I'd love to see these things added.

The problem about this isnt the fact about them mtaching the gameplay

 

The epoch creators arent the creators of this content and therefore they need to be allowed to use the mods by their creators

 

If you look up the date of some of those vehicles, you will see the problem, some of them are probably not aviable to their contactdetails.

 

Thats the reason why the hellokitty smart needed to be removed, thats why they wont add anything anymore without having the permission for it :S

 

I would love to see them ingame (maybe not the MRAP), but I would rather prefer some more weapons, cuz its like everyone is going for the exact same weapons at this moment:

 

PKP, Lapua, MK48 Mod, (if allowed on server M110, Mk17, M107 or even worse AS50)

 

I would really love to see the weaponpacks from RMod2 or something, just to make them aviable but not standard ingame content (so they need to be added to the loot)

 

There are so many awesoem variants of ACR, M4 and even russian weapons which are most likely "mobbed" in dayz

Now dont say they are all OP, its just a few of the weapons and they can be removed by the admins.. I would really love to have a FN FAL with a scope already..

Actually vilas requested them removed as they were added without permission, which I can understand, as if I created something and someone else used it, then I'd want to be at least asked before someone packaged up my mod into thiers.

 

 

I'd say they're definately all worth looking into, some more than others, providing they all have correct damage models etc of course :)

[Creep]

Yeah I just said that its a bit hard to ask for all of them since he asked for that many mods

They had permission to use the vehicle pack until Origins came along and offered him money so that they could be exclusively used in the Origins mod.

yesyesyes, added vehicles always good in my opinion. As long as its not gamebreaking or OP ;)

[Magz]

So Epoch would have to add the vehicles before we can use them? There's no way for a server owner to add them individually to their Overpoch servers otherwise?

Anyone can add it to their own server I'm sure, the issue lies in the fact they're needed within the game client, so every player who would wish to join your server would need to add them, therefor it's easier having it all included in the initial install.

 

That being said, if anyone knows where I can find tutorials for adding custom graphics, animations and so on to arma 2, I'd be glad to try and make numerous new game items to present to the epoch team. I'm pretty good with 3d modelling and textures. I've actually wanted to make new building supplies that blend a bit more with the game graphics, making it so player bases are less obvious at great distances.
