This addon allows you to rest you weapon and improve you shooting stability.

Quote L etranger :

Our server community was missing the possibility to rest our weapons and improve our shooting stability, so while waiting for BIS to implement it or ACE to be release, I cooked this and feeling sharing it:
- Resting your weapon reduce the recoil of your muzzle.
- It does work with every weapons.
- You can rest the weapon on windows frames, top and on corners of objects.
- You can also rest your weapon on a crouched partner.
- Unfortunaly resting weapon doesn't yet reduce aiming sway (hold your breath for this).

BASE Jumping Test Map by James2464

News / Arma 3 / Mods and Addons

(0)

James2464 released his BASE Jumping Test Map on the BI forums.
The purpose of this test map is to enable the community to provide better feedback in regards to BASE jumping and falling from high structures/terrain.

Quote James2464 :

In the process of building another map I've discovered it is possible to BASE jump from high terrain. I assume this is thanks to the new and improved HALO script(?) for Arma 3 because it wasn't possible in Arma 2 as far as I know.

After further testing and not looking at the HALO scripts myself I believe the decision to transform the character into the free-falling animation is dependent on the distance the terrain is from the character thus when you initially jump off the terrain you are stuck in limbo. However once you jump your distance from the cliff increases and the distance to the ground increases exponentially.

There are core glitches that you will experience like being catapulted out from the cliff once you step off which I can't explain myself. Perhaps a DEV can comment here?

If there are terrain features you would like to see changed or implemented please feel free to comment.

NoBlur by Defunkt dev version updated

News / Arma 3 / Mods and Addons

(1)

Defunkt released an updated development version of his NoBlur addon on the BI forums.
This addon removes or negates the rotational blur from Post Processing levels Low or higher.

Quote Defunkt :

Please be aware that this mod will regularly break when the alpha is updated, you might receive a Direct X or config error. For this reason I'm not sure I'd recommend it for those who're subscribed to receive the development builds as these will probably be updated more frequently.

NoBlur for the latest Arma 3 Alpha Development Build:
This is the latest version of NoBlur for the latest version of the development build. If you do not know what the development build is, please read here: Opt Into the Arma 3 Development Build - Steam guide

I am only maintaining for the dev build now as I never know when the standard stream has been updated and it's a pain in the arse switching my install backwards and forwards to check.
This mod supercedes more than just the PP FX and it needs to be re-released every time they change bin.pbo.

Update for latest development build: Anzins Noblur 2013-05-24 dev
