Tripods dont seem to reduce recoil more than bipods

Hey Buzzil, I was wondering if you could give me some pointers to help me get a compatibility patch for a unit of mine's custom MG. I would appreciate any help!

So I love this mod, but is there a way to make it so that people can't run around when the tripod is attached to a machine gun that they are carrying? It would be awesome to have a setting to force walking when the tripod was attached if thats possible.

Hey Buzzil. As a long time machine gunner, i love this mod heaps!
I was wondering if there was any chance you could make this work using ace and a second person? say you have a MG assistant like IRL and they interact on your MG and deploy the tripod, similar to the linking belts and swapping barrels in ace. This is how they would do it IRL.

I can confirm the conflict wit Animated Recoil coefficient changer mod. When you deploy the bipod, the Hand gesture activated, then fire the first round, Hand gesture will be back to vanilla status.

Possible patch for the "Animated Recoil coefficient changer" mod? Essentially, the recoil mod adds more realistic recoil in the game, but overwrites this mod to the point of where it does not function as it should.

@Buzzil it could be one of my mods, i am running quite a few .. TY

@Cav
I'll take a look into, but can't imagine what may went wrong, as there were no signifcant updates recently. What modlist do you use?

@=7Cav=2LT.Mazinski.H
Sure, complete pack is available on github in releases section.

Hey mate, would you mind if we packed this into an auxillary mod for our unit? Full credit and links would be included

I have tried to put these in a backpack and that does not work, Also you can not put into a vehicle or pull these from vehicle inventory . The sniper tripod all that functionality works but not with the MG variants on the appropriate weapon systems .

I'm trying to adjust the tripod deploy time, but I can't find where it is set. Can you please point me to the file location where it is defined? Thanks!

Buzzil, it's great to hear that you're inviting community contributions to the addon. What copyright license applies to the source code? I like the "GPLv2 or later". The ACE3 addon has gotten good results by choosing that license. https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-recommendations.html

Sorry, i have no free time now. It's not hard to do, so if you want - you can try by yourself, asking thinks that you don't understand (e.g. we can create topic here and discuss).
For you information - this mod will work only if mod's weapon already uses bipod slot (e.g. detachable bipods), otherwise you can only apply gesture switch on deploy, no tripod.

Briefly it's only about:
1) Getting mod's classes and it's structure
2) Add Reload and Reloaded EHs to class
3) Update WeaponSlotsInfo class and add tripod class to compatibleItems
4) Add dzn_MG_Tripod_deployedGesture property and select what deployed hand anim should be used for stand/crouch/prone states
5) Make proper dependency in CfgPatches - requiredAddons array (making compat mod forced to load after SOG/Spearpoint mod)

Any chance for a Spear Point compat/Free world Arsnel ?

Is there any chance of S.O.G compat for it's m60?

Здравствуйте!
У меня есть вопрос по вашему скрипту dzn_dynai.
Как можно с Вами связаться?

@Lance Link
Cannot confirm. Works fine with RHS M249 and A3 Marksman's MGs.

>If I select the tripod in launcher slot I get no prompt to attach. This is with all related mods.
Tripod action only available when you not in the vehicle and MG has no bipod attached (for RHS it also means no grips in bipod slot). Try to test without any other mods except CBA and MG Tripod.

Maybe Im missing something but Universal Tripod does not seem to work since update. I can use tripod only if I equip the tripod on the gun to start. If I select the tripod in launcher slot I get no prompt to attach. This is with all related mods.

No stress. Just wanted to report the bug I stumbled upon while trying to iron out bugs of one of my mods.

Hi, Nicoman.
Nothing bad happens here, but not sure about when i be able to make fix for this. Sorry for this error spam

Hi there Buzzil, got this

16:38:39 Error in expression < # 0 # 0;

@Old Glory
Sure, all tripod mods may be included.

Hey, can we add this mod to a auxmod for a unit. We will of course credit you in the auxmod if you allow it. Thanks in advance for getting back.

None, it's only available in Arsenal or via script command (classes are "dzn_MG_Tripod_Universal_Carry","dzn_MG_Tripod_M122A1_M240mount_Carry" ,"dzn_MG_Tripod_M122A1_M60mount_Carry")

What ammo crates contain the tripod?

> It is the new us standard tripod for the M240B
Looks futuristic. But no, i am not planning to add it (cuz have no model of it ).

It is the new us standard tripod for the M240B

@Tito10star
No, but sounds cool!

@buzzil have you seen the M192 Lightweight Ground Mount Tripod?

you da man

It can use 3 Vanilla Bipods, but isn't able to use this it seems. I actually have no way how to make a Compatibility patch but I'll look into it!

If it has underbarrel proxy you can make micro-mod in same manner as CUP/RHS compats are made (see github repo for reference).
If not - ask OPTRE devs to add underbarrel proxy

Is there a way to add compatibility for the OPTRE M247 GPMG?

Haha can do. Thank you very much.

@JerkinMerkin
Sure, but ask everyone who will use it to rate addon in workshop

Hello,

Would you be willing to allow my community to include your addon and the RHS one bundled up in our community modpack for a mission? Of course credits will be given to you. If not I completely understand.

Thank you.

> to make it perpendicular to the horizontal plane
It shouldn't. MG tripod is about solid platform that sustain mg weight and recoil, but not about keeping scope perfectly vertical

the mod isnt working for me to make it perpendicular to the horizontal plane

Updated the mod. Fixed binocular item and mount/dismount action unavailability.

Yup, it may happen, thanks for report. But tbh i was expecting MG team to work together, not solo machinegunner who shoots and then grabs binocular to see did he hit anything

I think I found another bug with the gesture stance: When I have the bipod/tripod deployed and switch to my binoculars he will pull out a non functioning invisible binocular. If I stow the bipod/tripod first (no longer the special gesture stance) everything works fine.

Looks bad, thanks for reporting

same problem with vanilla mg's

Please, use only action menu to attach/detach tripod (at least i tried to disable bipod slot on weapon once attached, so there no way to accidentaly remove it). If happens via action menu - please provide some info - what gun, what tripod and what steps to reproduce.

is the tripod disposable? taking it off I can no longer attach it back on gun

Ugh, i forgot to check FN mgs, looked into mg3 only :D Then maybe someday some compats will be added

It does seem to work with NIArms after all
Just a little wonky
