Description:
Deadfast's Cartridges is a little eye-candy addon for ArmA.
Allowing cartridges to stay on the ground and simulating ejected ones from mounted weapons on vehicles it brings the atmosphere to a new level!
Nothing better then walking through all that brass at the end of a mission

Scripts are pre-compilled and cartridge models do not display in distance to ensure maximal possible performance.


Features:

# 8 cartridge models created by Mondkalb (reference photos by Freshman):
o 9x19 Luger
o .45 ACP (not used ATM)
o 5.56x45 NATO
o 7.62x51 NATO
o .50 BMG
o 20mm
o 40mm grenade
o Hand grenade safety pin
# Automatic removal system based on time and/or cartridge limit.
# Simulation of ejected cartridges for some vehicles (see supported vehicles).

Installation:
1. Unpack contents of the RAR archive with WinRAR or similar program (you might leave out the directory keys - this is for servers only).
2. Create a new shortcut to arma.exe.
3. Open the shortcut's properties and:

* If this is your first mod
o Add -mod=@DFS_Cartridges behind Path:

"C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA\arma.exe" -mod=@DFS_Cartridges

If you have multiple mods
*
o Add ;@DFS_Cartridges at the end of the mods you already have defined:

"C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA\arma.exe" -mod=@mod1;@mod2;@DFS_Cartridges

Click OK to confirm the changes to the shortcut.

Check our FAQ for a clear explanation.

Included .pbo files:
dfs_cartridges.pbo



Usage:
1. Go to ArmA's directory (Example: C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA).
2. Go to directory called Dta, then to DFS_cartridges.
3. Open DFS_performance.hpp file with Notepad or similar text editor.
4. Edit settings to your liking.
5. Save and exit.
6. Restart ArmA if it was running.


Future plans:
Deadfast's Cartridges are far from bering done.
These are my future plans:

* Add Queen's Gambit vehicles (technicals)
* Add weapons from RobbertHammer's AK, Pistol and M16 pack
* Add ACE's weapons and vehicles

Thanks:
I'd like to thank Mondkalb for the permission to edit his addon (wondeful idea by the way!)
