I think this compatibility mod does not work or partially works. Because in the ACE Arsenal, there will never be ammo for this rifle. And as soon as you use the vanilla arsenal (not ACE) Then the ammo appears.

I love it every time I stumble across this mod again. Good bit vintage arma drama here.

Hey are you still doing Arma? If so, could you update this to ACE v3.13? @Covfefe

Top kek.

I don't know or even want to know what the fuck I missed, nor do I even want to be apart of it, however.., what ever the fuck happened.., I hope to fucking earth's dead grass that this rifle is not going to be removed, believe it or not when I was a little kid, I drew a picture of a sniper rifle that looks almost completely identical to the one that this mod patches, sadly I don't have the picture anymore because when I found it, it was mangled and torn, but I compared it and was pretty F*ing close, this mod is kinda imported to me in that aspect,

Holy shit that C311 guy is a dick. All Covfefe did was actually do your work for you and enable compatability between your mod and other mods. He stole no content from you. He infringed upon no copyrights.

@Kiory If Lego required you to get legal permission in order to use their products with any other toy, then proceed to threaten you if you do; I HIGHLY doubt they would have become the now largest toy company on the planet.

The fact that you think people using your product however they wish is 'rude' or constitutes Copyright Infringment, speaks volumes about your severely warped sense of logic and reasoning, as well as your character as a person.

I believe he was referring to your 'twat-like' behaviour (including the very comment I am responding to now) not that you released something for free. No one is doubting the quality of your original mod, but that doesn't give you the right to dictate how people use it.

Regarding your error in judgement and what you've overlooked: Well for starters the fact that the person who hired you didn't want to pay you for ACE3 support, not that he wanted it legally restricted; As well as the very definition of Copyright.

@SnakeDoc | 85th if you want to use a lego analogy, then the lego's were already out to play and free to use for anyone, what's happened here is someone has taken the set I made, and made it work with another without asking, a bit rude.

Look I'm already over this and far too fucking busy to give a shit anymore, do what you want guys, make it compatible with whatever you want I've clearly made an error in judgement and perhaps I've overlooked something, but calling me a twat because I had released something for free, and as intended, is a bit fucking much.

@Covfefe

Thank you good sir!

@Kiory See below how someone asked for something realy simple and this guy just did it instead of acting like a child who doesnt want anyone to use his legos differentely to him? see how simple that human interaction was, hope that next time a situation like this occours you act like less of a twat ;)

@V. Berlioz Ah ok no problems; Made a CBA only version just for you ;) http://arma3.com.au/kkiv_cba.zip

I was thinking one that didn't have the ACE ballistic alterations. My apologies for the confusion.

@V. Berlioz This patch works without ACE, only CBA is requried. If you run without ACE the game will just ignore the variables set. Or did you want a version that doesnt require CBA? :\

Perhaps sometime down the road, the CBA and ACE compatibility patches could be split up into seperate mods? I really want to see what the APFSDS can really do range-wise when given the LRPS PRO scope from the KA Viking .408 addon.

@McRide The ATragMX is a little beyond my understanding and math skill. This patch really only references CBA rails instead of vanilla one and applies very basic ACE ballistics coefficients. There are however instructions on the ACE3 wiki on how to add guns to the ATragMX [ace3mod.com] or you could try asking on Kiory's workshop page, as he is also making an optional compat patch.

Once this whole DMCA mess blows over, any chance you can add a 25mm entry to the aTragMX calculator? No idea if that's possible but it would make precision shots with this thing so much easier!

@MikePhoeniX Kiory's "deceitful attitude" was around long before this patch even existed. The fact that this patch had to be made by someone other than Kiory and that he has DMCA'd it, is proof of that.

@Covfefe re read what i actually put u might get it, also this "deceitful attitude" was brought on by what you said?

@Kiory I don't understand why he would have to ask for permission for a compatibility patch?

@kiroy I am not entirely sure you understand what this is. It is a voluntary addon to your mod (Which is good btw) that allows certain parts of the community to use it without it being considered unrealistic or game breaking. It has no content from your mod and only changes your mod when run alongside this compat ←--- this is voluntary.

@Kiory This mod does not contain any content from you mod whatsoever. You and your clients wishes are frankly irrelevant. No permission was sought as a quick preview of the comments on your page inferred your were utterly opposed to any sort of compatibility.

If you are concerned about someone using your likeness then I strongly suggest you do not posted it onine. As for the “toys and pram” reference, I don’t see how that results from me making your awesome mod work with other awesome mods.

@Sarge38 If anyone was playing the victim here, it's you and your buddies, whining about something I said no to.

But just like children, you throw your toys out of the pram in protest.

@V. Berlioz This mod was created against mine and my clients wishes, not even permissions were sought after, and that would of been the decent thing to do, at the very least, don't say it was uncalled for, because it really wasn't.

As far as I'm concerned, with the original wording and having my actual face on the mod picture was a blatant and outright personal attack, as much as he wants to deny it.

At this point, I honestly don't give two shits what you think about me, the amount of crap I have to put up with that comes from this "community" is fucking beyond, especially since you're all getting this for free.

But yes, I have decided to make my own compatability patches, I'll upload them when I have time.

An accord has been reached with the original mod creator it should be back up shortly

@V. Berlioz Thanks, your one of the few commenters who brought their logic hat with them.

@Covfefe

It's my pleasure. Good work with the patch, and Kiory's DMCA is totally uncalled for and sets a horrible precedent. This is the internet, we're all anonymous and volunteers to this community. If words are offensive, well, that's the fault of whoever reads them and their intepretation.

Words cannot be offensive when nothing is on the line.

@V. Berlioz Thanks for educating me on that :) Updated the page with the spelling and Armaholic link.

@MikePhoeniX This approach was only taken because of his deceitful attitude towards people asking for CBA and ACE3 support (claiming that it would cause errors and dependency issues which is simply untrue (it's called an optional folder)). And their is no stolen content in this compat which you would know if you actually looked at it, so i'm not sure how I'm a thief.

Oh, and by the way, Materiel is the correct spelling. Materiel refers to military equipment. The Kkiv/Laku is designed to be "anti" military equipment, hence Materiel is the correct word.

thank goodness for local backups

bit of a crappy approach you've took tbh, and you wonder why modders stop making things when you have o2 thieves making shit personal.

The Kkiv Model 2035 is still on Armaholic, so the original is still out there.

@festivewolfie This is a compatibility patch that adds CBA and ACE3 ballistics support that requires the original mod made by Kiory.

@Phantom Hawk The instruction i posted below is how you access the original mod that was taken down by the author, but is still on your computer in that location, this was only ever a compatibility patch that added support for CBA and ACE to Kiory’s mod and contained non of the Kiory’s files.

This is a patch that requires the orignal mod.

@festivewolfie there is no re-upload of any content you are either misinformed or just stupid.

@festivewolfie, that's what this is, kiory removed the actual mod

1. I meant the original mod not this one i don't use ACE.

2 Who is this guy?.

I am aware. Pretty pathetic lol.

@MeFirst - He knows he is walking in shit and therefore don't wanna show his online identity on this thing.. (the actions of a true coward)

@Phantom If you still want to use the mod this compatibility patch (contains no stolen content) is made for go to "Steam > steamapps > workshop > content > 107410 > 933340798" copy the "933340798" folder and paste it somewhere else and rename it "@whatevayouwant", then add it to which ever launcher you prefer to use the same way as biforums or armaholic, your welcome :)

1. Why are you hiding behind a secondary account? Not "man enough" to be open about your original account and online identity on steam?

2. "You must respect the copyright of other people, not just Bohemia Interactive, if it infringes someone else’s rights then you can’t do it. Usually there is a clear license included with each work. If there is no clear license, you are simply not authorized to use it. Just because something is available for download doesn’t mean that you can freely use it."

3. Man up you manchild.

Latest comment from the "author" just proves my previous point..

What a shame i was enjoying using this thing best sniper rifle i have ever used in A3 oh well lets hope it gos back up soon.

@Kiory This mod doesnt contain ANY copyright content at all. It doesnt matter if it alters yours. Thats what a MOD is! Your mod alters the base game :) - Also its not a personal attack at all, cause I don't know or care about you personally, its not slander because slander means a false statement, and nothing I wrote is false.

I also see that you took your mod off the workshop in response to this; I purpose good sir that YOU are the child.

cool thanks for doing this

Great mod, can't wait until Valve decide that it doesn't breach any copyright.

Also, not to mention, it's a personal attack, the passive aggressive slander and the use of my actual face on the mod.

@Sarge, it goes against my wishes and it alters the original mod, without permissions, it's entirely in breach.

This is entirely fine and does not breach any rules XD. It has no content from your original mod, just a compatability patch :/

It's fine Pumba, it's going to be DMCA'd regardless.

I'm not sure if I think it's ok to go fondle with another man's mod this way..
I am however sure that the comments you made about this defenetly ain't ok..
You are coming out to damn contemptuous dude..

yes! that's right! ty!
