Suggestion

 

Spoiler

 

Change the Bundeswehr uniform to a different version of Flectarn to help distinguish between Germans and rebels that wear the same stuff + make the Germans look a bit more authentic.
 

Current uniform - rhsgref_uniform_flecktarn_full

 

 

Suggested uniform - LOP_U_Fatigue_BDU_FLEC_02

Add "Play on EU1" button on the same menu as the "Play on AWE" button (and a "Play on MSO" button might be cool if it can check server status and only appear when the server is up).

 

Obviously would need to permit AWMod as an optional on EU1.

[Stanhope 816]

We cannot permit it as an optional mod on EU1 as it's dependant on ACE, RHS, BAF & TFAR

The uniform will be replaced, it won't match the helmet camo though (and the helmet won't be replaced as people have previously complained about RHS ammo being underpowered against project opfor armour).

Considering people run around with UCP helmets with their MARPAT uniforms, I don't reckon they'll notice the helmet change. Now that you mention it, I can't unsee it though.

Ah hell, understood.

 

A quick keyboard shortcut to remove the HUD for screenshots would be cool.

[Stanhope 816]

Keybind for disabling the hud has been added and is in today's version, uniforms has been changed and will be in the next version.

AW Mod has been updated today with the following changes:

• Fix for double opening of view distance menu
• View distance will now change if you are driving a UGV (car) and UAV (air)
• Clear grass action added
• Inventory management actions added
• Chestpack actions now client toggle

These options can be found in Addon Settings: AW Mod - Client, as shown below.

Typing distances into the U menu is a bit weird.

 

After typing a few numbers in, it seems to just ignore the input and assume 5000. I didn't have shadowplay on at the time

@Havoc said in the Frontlines thread: "Also: the AW view distance menu resets the terrain settings to smoothest every time I open it."

 

U menu does behave weird - https://clips.twitch.tv/IcySpeedyDelicataWow-DWds5ngyGo7pxtnI

 

Would like it if DUI would hide when using "hide UI"

[Stanhope 816]

These issues have been logged and someone who knows UIs (not me) will have a look at them when they've got some time

So this weird behaviour is because it doesn't allow you to have a number less then 500 (as thats what default arma uses) and I update the view distance on the onKeyUp event (once you've released the key) so you can preview the distance. I think a possible solution could be to not run the code if less then 2 characters are entered, which will mean it won't set it to the minimum of 500 as you type.

[DomT 14]

As not every op/person uses DUI I would prefer to avoid including this in the AW Mod HUD, however you can be quite clever and change the keybind that DUI provides to disable their UI. If you set this to the same as your disable HUD key (Ctrl+Shift+F by default), it'll do both at the same time.
