British Forces

1.0.15

Release 1.0.15 released!

What a long old journey this update cycle has been! Really excited to share with you some new gear, some of the great new features in 1.2, and quite a few fixes and improvements to go with them.

- L42A1 Sniper rifle
- PRC349 Radio
- Shrike Exploder (model kindly provided by Whiskey2Shots)
- Hayrick Demolition Charge
- PE4 Explosive
- L1A1 Bayonet
- Schermuly Rocket Flares
- Baseplate Compass
- Updated 68 pattern combat uniform
- Added 84 pattern combat uniform
- Tropical Pattern Trousers
- Gloves
- L8 7.62mm Enfield Rifle (very basic, no zeroing yet)
- Much expanded Faction Units and Groups to closer match vanilla
- Improved AI Skill level to better match competitors
- Upped MP group size from 6 to 8 players
- Sterling has proper zeroing out to 180m
- Sterling now has 34 round magazines
- Adjusted Sterling Recoil
- GPMG Reload animation
- Improved idle animations for Bren and GPMG
- Increase GPMG Sway
- Improved GPMG sounds
- Improved GPMG colliders
- Increase Bren Sway
- Fixed missing Bren collider
- Rucksack GS same storage volume as ALICE Pack
- Made Large Pack storage volume a little bit larger
- Added sounds to backpack open/close
- Flashlight colour tweaked
- Fixed weapon inspect on GPMG, hiPower, Sterling, L1A1, Bren
- Fixed AR15 rear sight not flipping properly when set to 300m
- Fixed AR15/M203 not respawning properly if saved at arsenal
- Fixed AR15 collider shape leading to odd behaviour when dropped
- Fixed missing helmet textures
- Fixed missing textures on RAC Helmets
- Fixed floating 58 pattern belt when dropping smocks
- Fixed 58 pattern belt being replaced with Alice belt when vest is worn
- Fixed backpack radio sometimes attaching through center of chest

Unfortunately due to the complexity involved I'm going to have to remove the Commando Ops - Arland mission for now, expect an updated/replacement mission as a fast follow soon. Enjoy GMing in the meanwhile!

Known issues:
- Enfield L8 hasn't got proper rear sight animation on zeroing. Working on it, just wanted to throw in a little toy that's a bit more work in progress than the usual stuff we share!
- If you have an slr equipped and attach a field dressing to it, it won't show up until you drop and pick up the gun again. Bit of a pain!
- Field dressing on SLR sometimes seems to make the weapon reload animations jitter too. :man_shrugging: 
- Due to some vanilla BI bugs around how animation blending works, there are some small jitters when animations start/stop.
- In crouch, sometimes the shrike animation will be offset in a way that looks funny - again, we believe this is a vanilla bug (happens with vanilla detonators too)
- If AI are equipped with the schermuly, they will pull it out, not use it, and then just stay stuck like that!

With very special thanks to the team:
Rebecca Williams for working on the PRC349 radio
Khaos for fantastic weapon animations
Commander Eagle for string table and faction set up

And additional thanks to:
Whiskey2Shots for providing the Shrike exploder model
reyhard, momopirou & PUDDY300 for their continued support and guidance on getting our animations working
