It's a shame this mod is basically dead, it's systems were quite unique, I don't think many others have tried doing the reload ammo system like this one did.

Wow, blast from the past! I'm sorry that it doesn't seem to be working well anymore. This may be one of the last mod efforts I made in Arma before dropping the game altogether due to going back to work after the inital covid shutdown. I was ALMOST done with rebuilding an excellent AI mod as well, but never finished it. Alas, it's unlikely that I'll ever come back to this level of Arma work again due to the sheer learning curve I'd have to repeat, and no longer having the time to put into it.

It's not my mod, I just uploaded it to the workshop with permission from the original mod creator.

@deutschebag "The mod is like 10 years old, just enjoy it."
I used to. Back when it was first released. And it worked right.
Back when you used to be able to load two different ammo types in the two separate magazines and switch back and forth. Now? Not so much. Why not fix it?

The mod is like 10 years old, just enjoy it.

Same problem as Shudderfly. Reloading or swapping ammo type completely rearranges my whole equipment inventory at random, from rucksack to uniform and vest. Nothing stays where it was put. Like the mod. Don't like what it does.

Reload/swapping mags shifts ammo into your backpack for some reason

Yeah, go right ahead. And added, that sounds interesting. Keep me posted.

Hey, can i have your permission to retexture this mod?

You can friend me on steam if you want details

yeah

this settings work on all weapone right

its literally a button you tick off in ace mod settings in game.
normally you have to shoot a body on the ground with an entire extra magazine of any weapon when they are incapacitated in ace. to fix this, all you have to do is make dying in ace settings based on total damage done to the npc, it takes like 2 minutes to find.

yeah thats gonna be work but I am using this mod in coop server and they dont want to chance ace settings oky then thx for help :/

in ace i always make it so a high level of total damage results in death for npc's regardless of incapacitation and the weapon seems to work well for me.

well i think in ace settings you can change incapacitation rate and total damage before incapacitation and death

can you do somting for that then ? because this is your mod and you doing great just chance some code or number for more damage huh ???

not sure, you can try

very nice mod but buckshot or slug damage is low for ace mods. Can we do somting about this

That's pretty cool, I didn't know that. But I seriously hope people don't buy a real gun based on one comment in an Arma III workshop mod. Always do some research first, and PLEASE don't cringe us all out by shooting up a school full of 12 year old's with one of these.

Thanks.

I picked one of these up once they became inexpensive in Canada a few years ago and I love it. The reliability issues that gave it a bad rap when it first hit the market were ironed out, it's a wonderful piece of kit.

Nice to see it in Arma, good work.

unfortunately, no, but anyone can attempt to fix this error and i will review their edit.

Hey, this mod seems to totally overwrite the FxCartridge_65_caseless cartridge class, meaning some modded pistols eject shotgun shells (every single RH Pistols pistol), is there any way you would be able to fix this?

yes, of course!

Can't be bothered scanning the comment but is this fully "utilized" by the AI?

still updated, awesome

If anyone is interested, here is the changelog for the work I did. Dropbox won't wordwrap it so it's probably easier to read if you DL it or just copy and past it into Notepad. https://www.dropbox.com/s/5s16qb0khf8g0ul/changelog.txt?dl=0 Sorry about any typos or poor writing in general; I lost the original changelog.txt file and angrily rewrote it at 3am.

I sent an update to ser maurice for review. If he posts it please let me know if you guys find bugs or have suggestions!

Added! I'm making the changes for use in my own, private mod. You're welcome to them though, of course. Off to bed. I'll check in later today.

Doc, I sent you a friend request. Please accept it so we can talk a bit more clearly.

And thanks for signing the mod, adding a server key and removing the offending code.

I scanned every file included and tested them on my own as well, it is a perfect remedy for this old but good mod and has no viruses.

Nice work :)

We'll still have to talk a bit further if we're going to make substantial changes to the original mod - so add me, Doc!

Oh, right: I'm adjusting the HE rounds to emulate the FRAG12 T17 12 Gauge HR round. [www.frag12.com]

I'm kind of getting carried away.... adjusted the 00 buckshot and slugs to real world ballistics, I'm most of the way through making a JSRS Sound Mod patch for it; I'm creating versions that have an integrated laser instead of the flashlight; I created a custom class in the SMA mod for an Eotech/Magnifyer combo that's zeroed at 50m (otherwise the shot pattern is about 18" above the point of aim); I reduced the buckshot spread to that of real world patterning..... um... I can't think of anything else at the moment but I may have forgotten a tweak or two. It's 4:45 AM... time for bed.

Nice job there, Caliban!

FIXED

Here you go.... I signed it and included a server key, but you can re-sign it or do whatever you like.

Dropbox Link to fixed UTS-15 Shotgun Mod [www.dropbox.com]

I found and removed the offending code and have tested it in every way I can think of. It all seems to work fine!

The original mod creator has abandoned this mod so I can't contact him to fix it.

Okay well, in my experience the mod is very well designed but yes this error "No entry 'bin/config.bin/CfgWeapons.muzzle_mzls_smg01 = 1'." does occur.
To my knowledge the error is linked to an update to ARMA 3 a while ago by the devs that created a similar error for many different weapon mods including the 'CUP Weapons' mod back in the day.
If I knew how to fix this error, I would, but I am not the mod creator nor a programmer.
If you know how to fix this error, I will be willing to update this mod.

Hello. Thanks for the attention :)
I had permanent crashes on saved games (main campaign) upon using the mod. I tried to load my mods in any order and didn't manage to get rid of the error message on main menu. Both crashes and error message disappeared the second I uninstalled the mod. I so think the crash is linked to said loading error.
It's kinda frudtrating because i love the weapon, terrific job on it!

What do you mean by "game breaking"?

I have error "No entry 'bin/config.bin/CfgWeapons.muzzle_mzls_smg01 = 1'." which is potentialy gamebreaking.
As fun and cool-looking as this shotgun is, i'd advise against using the mod.

I get some kind of error in the main menu (but it doesn't prevent the shotgun from appearing in the virtual arsenal and whatnot) which says "No entry 'bin/config.bin/CfgWeapons.muzzle_mzls_smg01 = 1'."

What is up with that?

finally. a shotgun

no thanks. I would say repairing the error message would be a Job for someone who is more capable than me.

yes, its not my mod, i have no intention of editing it, if you want to edit it, feel free to.

Hi all ... this mod Returns an error message.

Good mod. But the most mods have to be constantly updated. Never ending work.

Well, I only found this mod a few months ago, so I can't say whether its been bugged after any updates, but it is definitely a great mod.

Nah, in earlier versions of ARMA, this mod worked perfectly. My last use was with 1.6? as this mod had so many issues with it. Sights not lining up, constant reloading sounds, reloading issues, and many more.

Maybe with CBA, UTS-15, and plain ARMA it still works, but with common mods and the last few revs of ARMA, it does not work as it should.

And I checked, this is the same version as the ArmaHolic mod, which is OVER THREE YEARS OLD!

The scripts within the PBO need to be updated for it to function as it should.

It is sad too, this is a very nice and good mod...at one time...

:(

do you mean like it shows 0 clips during reload? if so thats because the ammunition is pooling so you never have half loaded clips like you would with an assault rifle. quite well done on blackpixxels part.

it is a nice mod. unless it has been updated, there are MANY issues in the current arma. i used this mod for months, until arma was upgraded and now, its nothing but issues. the biggest is constant reloading. the reloading will show zero rounds, all sorts of 'weird' things.

it is a nice mod though.

A shotgun mod this well made almost feels like it belongs in the vanilla game.
