[Suggestion] Adding the rest of Vilas' Pack

[Cap-Coop]

I was just thinking that since Epoch already has most of the civilian vehicles from this wonderful pack, why not include the rest of it? Obviously I don't mean adding anything like tanks and such (maybe the armored repair vehicles since tracks are usually easy to break) but stuff like the other police vehicles, the military transport trucks, the ridiculous fire engine thats massive because it looks lovely, etc. Also it would be a quick way of injecting basic items like new backpacks, weapons, and skins into Epoch to make a mod that has come so far to take it's seat upon the throne of best DayZ mod. (At least in my opinion)

All of those vehicles are included we just do not spawn them. Unless it is already part of the mod, there is no quick way of injecting new items of any kind as that kind of stuff needs to be done in a client side mod.

Well i was thinking if was possible we can get some civilian helicopters as well,military are cool but some civvies would be nice to see them in game,yes i have fun in a UH60 but a Rescue Heli or a simple normal one would be great :( !!we need a Heli Pack!!

I agree wholeheartedly. While we don't want to turn this into candyland, I think a few new additions to the choppers are needed. I included the Merlin to the traders for a high price, and only one player has bought one. I'm a big fan of small choppers, and would love to see something like these:

 

Gazelle - http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=12538

Scout - http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=14466  

 

p.s. none of my players like the gyros (deathtraps), the Mozzi is the only one that gets bought.

since they are included, can they be spawned in? if so, how would one do that? I tried just adding one of the fire tucks in replacing a Ural that was already in game... nothing appeared.

+1 vote for the gazelle here :)

also, i tried adding the fire engines to our admin trader to test, couldnt egt them in game :(, used a few different class names etc..., but nothing spanwned in, shame as i use a firehopuse as a base and a fire engine would look cool

Also would love to know this... Tried adding some via dynamic vehicles, tried adding them in the DB and tried adding them to the traders. Won't spawn.

  I know its possible, I've been on servers where the firetrucks are available.

[babylonstew]

anyone figured out how to add these yet?

tried a couple more times adding them to traders, but no joy still :(

Not all of vilas stuff is available and being used in Epoch. Run Epoch, load up the editor, and see what is available. Only civilian and emergency vehicles are there, no military, military police, etc can be used as its not included in the PBO files. Just extract the ones in the epoch folder and view them yourself to see whats what, but the editor is much easier to view.

[SunnyPi]

Any chance to get them added in an upcoming patch? :)

 

Btw somehow none of the Firetrucks seem  to be working... Tried having them spawne via dynamicvehicles as well as changing existing vehicles in the DB an waiting for the restart.

Any clue wich of them are working?

Hi,

 

Epoch contains vehicles from vilas, which is very cool. On our server, we added all the cars to the trader (there are many that arent) like fire engines, police cars and so on.

 

Browsing through vilas pages shows us a lot lot more that would be possible. So my suggestion: add more vilas' stuff to Epoch, like for example

Theres a huge variaty of cars/trucks/military unarmed/military armed but not OP-like that could be added - you dont need to add them all to the traders. server owners could decide what they want as it is now with the fire engines, extra busses etc.

 

Easiest way, as far as i found out, would be to add the non-splitted version of vilas stuff i guess. then, admins have the complete control over all the cars/trucks/... vilas adds. the opportunities would be amazing...

 

please consider this idea as an enrichment to an already amazing mod.

Hi again,

 

let me add the idea that epoch could also include new weapons from vilas.

 

THE GENERAL SUGGESTION i want to make is: Include suggested stuff in Epoch and let the server owners decide (and do the work) what they want to add to the traders and vehicle spawn list.

Epoch serves as solid base that is well known and those additions would deepen the (already very good) gameplay experience.

 

Thats my feedback,

thanks
