Vietnam: The Experience (VTE) is the leading, most detailed and comprehensive Vietnam mod for OFP, ArmA and ArmA 2.

ArmA engine will allow us to create incredible looking jungle without such CPU slowdowns as seen with OFP (not to say that VTE-OFP was lagging).

Final ArmA version of our mod was released on Jun 14th, 2010.

Official VTE homepage can be found http://tactical.nekromantix.com/vte/ and official ArmA VTE forum http://tactical.nekromantix.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=40.

Awesome!

Out of interest, will you be able to convert the islands from VTE over directly? Or will you have to remake them? I haven't had a chance to play with the new tools yet.

Posted by: wipman Sep 19 2007, 17:28

Hi, i think that "my" M1911 A1 looks better than yours, if you want... you can take it and make it yours, PM King Hommer if you want; but if you take it
with the model parts that other known people made, then credit 'em. The known names are in the readme.txt inside the .rar file. Let's C ya

Posted by: Linker Split Sep 19 2007, 19:51

well, for what I know about island making for ArmA, with visitor 3 it's not possible to import old OFP WRP, due to the format, and the size (in ArmA with a 512x512 and 10m grid size, you can have a 5120x5120 island)
correct me if i'm wrong m8

Posted by: Snake Man Sep 19 2007, 22:07

Yes all the new VTE islands have been converted to ArmA, using WrpTool and 1 texture method, not Visitor 3 and the satellite layer thingy. The islands is where I base my claims about that we can create nice jungles, because they wont cause any slowdowns in my computer which is very poor.

Posted by: Linker Split Sep 20 2007, 17:26

that's a good news

Posted by: Snake Man Sep 28 2007, 01:43

We have now dedicated server to host VTE missions in multiplayer, if anyone wants to join in, check ingame browser for "PMC Tactical (VTE)" server.

Posted by: Snake Man Oct 8 2007, 12:18

Vietnam: The Experience modification from OFP is now on ArmA, we have already released quietly two full pre-alphas and few hotfixes. We are working very hard to fix the ported OFP models and tweak the config.









[mg]http://tactical.nekromantix.com/arma/screenshots/VTE-0116.jpg[/img]

We cannot do this alone, we dont have the modeler and texturer we need at the moment. If anyone wants to help, please contact us in our web page or forums here at armedassault.info or email us directly at tactical at nekromantix dot com

Thank you and remember, Vietnam needs you

finally a Vietnam MOD for ArmA!!!!!!!
really even if it's on a beta stage, I love to see new units, objects and so on!

for any help about importing models from OFP to ArmA, tell me, I'm at your disposition

Posted by: Snake Man Oct 8 2007, 22:31

I can fully port models from OFP, today I even created CH-47 Chinook second doorgun setup, what I'm looking for is a "real" modeler, compared to my skills.

But dont you already work in Black Hawk Down mod? Or is that mod sort of slow going (or something), that you have time to edit other models too?

Posted by: (BOA)Kamel Oct 9 2007, 14:31

Lol, best (OFP) Army mod in detail etc.

and whats with the Unsung?
This Mod was allready better as VTE?

Posted by: Linker Split Oct 9 2007, 19:11

yeah, you are right, but I can handle more things than only one once...

anyway, I asked only cause I saw that you were looking for helpers, didn't see Real modellers... for that indeed I could not help, since I'm working hard at the BHD MOD. So I thought that you could need some help...
Ok, no prob

Posted by: Snake Man Oct 9 2007, 23:30

I try real hard to understand what you just posted, but I get nothing... want to try and post again?


What models could you port? What "level" this port would be, just basic p3d or working ingame without errors etc?

You dont happen to have in your various project or elsewhere, anykind nice Vietnam material which we could use?

Posted by: Linker Split Oct 10 2007, 08:47

I made the Ia Drang Map for OFP, with various NAM models, including bunkers.

You could use them freely, as they come also from Thone2000 objects, but I modified them to fit better the scene (btw, don't worry, Thone2000 objects are freely to use he said, so I corrected them )

Yeah I'm able to import models (P3D's) without errors, adding Materials, creating materials.

Posted by: D@V£ Oct 10 2007, 08:58

I think he's trying to insinuate that the unsung, while it is a good mod, is somehow better than VTE.
Blasphemy!

While the Unsung does have good quality addons and units and nice fancy scripts, IMHO it lacks the diversity seen in VTE. Which probabley isn't a good arguement, but when it comes down to it, it's probabley better to have a a diverse selection of good quality units that go together well, than a small selection of high quality addons. Some people don't seem to realise that there is a point were something can be too detailed.

No offence is intended to the Unsung. I just like VTE a lot!

Posted by: Snake Man Oct 10 2007, 11:33

Where can I download these?

I recall long time ago you doing some Ia Drang work, in fact I remember some black (nighttime) video, but cant recall if I actually downloaded something (no idea what filename to search in my OFP DVDR catalogs).


Hey! Creating materials is just the kind of work I'd want to get done now. Could you help with that?

Posted by: YacieK Oct 10 2007, 16:07

There is Oxygen, have hope that you will correct GI on this type of unit ( screen- early beta GI from Nam )

The helmet of the grenadier is Queens Gambit must be helpful in modeling the GI helmet, it looks really good in QG, so I can't wait for your GIs. I was an Unsung guy in OFP, looking forward to trying VTE now!

Posted by: Linker Split Nov 24 2007, 08:48

Yo guys, I can explain how to create your own clutters, so you'll be able to add your own grass via config, instead of the default one...

Posted by: Snake Man Nov 24 2007, 12:51

Great that would be much appreciated, I'm all ears?

hi, just wanna say its the best mod out there...I love it...I have 3 questions: 1. All the islands or almost all crash, first it says in mission editor (Something about flora its not working), then i put my soldier in middle of jungle and it crashes...If is ar way from trees and stuff it doesnt...but its really bd
2. This doesn t have much about the mod but...Why in patch 1.08 i can t put High ground texture? The grass dissaper only i see is green ground....but i use now 10000 of distance
3. The server got password...I just want join it But i can t ...I will do all to get the password or to find other server to play with people...
The mod got some bugs but its very beta i know...The guys on airplane have their heads out of it and the tanks just shoot foward.
But very very god mod...Can u pls help me? Or i will die

Posted by: da rat Dec 1 2007, 17:25

3. The password for their VTE server is "pmc" without the quote marks.

Posted by: Migalex Dec 1 2007, 18:43

THXS DUDE!!! U ARE THE BEST
But i will be kicked???? Well i will try....THANKS AGAIN

Posted by: da rat Dec 1 2007, 19:06

lol no, you shouldn't be kicked - the password is common knowledge, you just need to visit their forum to get it. It's there so only people considered mature enough can join by making an effort rather than just seeing the server and jumping in

Posted by: Migalex Dec 1 2007, 20:04

Good! I tryend to regist them forum but I CAN T FIND THE REGISTER BUTTOM!!! LOOOL.....Thxs again man....

Posted by: Migalex Dec 1 2007, 20:28

You guys now must have seen the news of the pre-alpha 11-23-07 release in this sites first page. While we did not intend anyone to post widely public news / topics about it, its no problem, I just wish that people really understand that this is pre-alpha version

This is very bad sign, VTE/ArmA should not give you ANY warnings or errors. The latest release of pre-alpha 11-23-07 has been extensively tested for any ingame errors and I'm proud to say that after hours of testing there has been none on my computer. (of course I cannot be sure that some vehicle in some point of gaming wont for example give some error).


Please try to play with 1200-1500m viewdistance. Yes I know its huge difference from your current configuration of 10km, but please try this and if you still get problems we can proceed with the troubleshooting.


Actually its not even a beta, its an pre-alpha


True... but the real reason for password is the massive amount of people who join into the server who dont have the addons, this causes all the players see the odd 2-4 lines of text on every join attempt. Its very annoying. It would be cool if all those hundreds of people would have the addons loaded

Posted by: Migalex Dec 2 2007, 01:38

thxs for u awser all...But i need to know why my game got crashes in those islands and why the seats of the airplanes are a head out....And why tank just shoot foward...
Can u give me a link of the last version? Maybe i have a older version....I REALLY WANT PLAY This....But REALLY.....do it requer something? Thxs again.

Posted by: communistbastard Dec 2 2007, 10:37

The game should not be crashing, I have been playing the latest alpha on every map and it has never crashed. What version of Arma are you using? You should always check to make sure your version of Arma is up to date, and to my knowledge VTE doesn't require the QG addon as of yet.

The Pilots in certain airplanes have their heads sticking out because this is a Pre-Alpha [In english = very very rough]
This also goes for the tanks, they were just added in the latest version, when there is something released and it doesn't fully function it is known as a Place Holder [i.e. it is there for the time being for show, to be replaced further along in the development]

The latest revision of the pre-alpha was released on November 23rd, 2007; it can be found here : http://tactical.nekromantix.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=21332

I hope this helps

Posted by: Migalex Dec 2 2007, 16:28

I have 1.08 hotfix, I have queens gambit...How i should install the vietnam? Maybe my installation is wrong...I just poted all into Addons. And thxs once more
The server dissaper? I find once but i didn t haved got the password that time lol! Now I have the pass and it doesn t apper! lol...Im not lucky at all

Posted by: communistbastard Dec 3 2007, 04:01

Perhaps you have to install each successive release?

Posted by: Snake Man Dec 3 2007, 07:56

You (most likely) have crashes because of the 10km viewdistance.


I got frustrated editing them as in buldozer they look ok but ingame they are not, they are good enough to play right now so for next release I'll try to get them right.


I havent fully converted a tank yet, so its work in progress.


Its on the armedassault.info news page(?).

Everything working here, but some weapons look horrible! I know it is an Alpha so its okay.
But I want to help you to make a new version of the Hush Puppy Pistol, the Sampan and a Car 15 (If you do not have one)

VTE: Code green

Hello,
I’am weapon modeller of the VTE Modification.
Here’s a small status report with things about the mod in the upcoming version

First, we will release a small hotfix for the weapons; we create sights for the K98, Itheca and Enfield. (Without sight they we’re unplayable before.
I also switched the K98 texture in a better one.

But here some facts about the upcoming versions,
In the next versions will be more and better weapons in the pack. I made that old OFP Import’s totally new and so we can say, that we’re May able to call us the “rh of ww2 weapons�
There will be a bunch of single and multi player missions too.

Posted by: Linker Split Feb 28 2008, 23:52

er... not to be evil, but weapons look weird
hope you'll change them guys, I really like VTE since the OFP days!

Posted by: D@V£ Feb 29 2008, 00:22

It's a bit low detailed isn't it?

Still, I suppose this is only the long distance LOD, right?

Posted by: (VTE) D:G: (US) Feb 29 2008, 00:54

Gentlemens!

That are not the models! That are the textures!
Since I have to work for 4 and since I'am new in texture making it take time

The models are quite more detailed than the older one, a good example is the thompson, I made you a before/after screen. The first one is the new one and you see more details than in the older one (The first one even got 1074 points, in contrast to the older one with 500 Points)
So dont blame the models!

In fact that we still got no texture artist and I'am new in textures it takes time to make the textures in a good quality for me.

Posted by: D@V£ Feb 29 2008, 09:22

Ah, cool
That is a nice model

Posted by: Linker Split Feb 29 2008, 23:54

goddamn, I was having a coronary!
Good work on the thompson!

Posted by: (VTE) D:G: (US) Mar 2 2008, 06:00

Thank you,



Nice how you describe 3 people.

Yes, its hard at the moment in the mod. You know, I think even the BHD Mod got more people.
We are 3 Guys at the moment. From this 3 guys 1 Sound maker and 2 modeller, me and snakemen.
Snakemen is busy with the island and units I think, and the houses and some objects, so i have to make the whole weapon equipment, may some vehicles, and some objects by my own.
The Alpha was set up by one single men, Snakeman, its incredible how he managed it by his one man show.

Posted by: Linker Split Mar 2 2008, 10:58

I din't mean to offend you guys!

I know how you feel in this moment (We have the same problem, only 3 ppl working, I hope).
I said that cause the models were not fitted for an ArmA scenario (if they were like in the images), but since you told me they are not low-polys.

Posted by: (VTE) D:G: (US) Mar 30 2008, 14:24

We're switching the Vilas weapons to high resolution (And when I say high resolution I really mean this and not that low poly rhs things. Unfortuneately they're lagging on low hardware, so i think about to make 2 versions, one with the vilas ones and one with other ones.)
Here a wip

http://www.abload.de/image.php?img=m16a1o0l.png

Posted by: Rellikki Mar 30 2008, 16:47

Why not just apply normal maps on the low poly weapons to make them look good? Besides, RHS weapons are really good. They're really well done. I didn't even know that they were... low poly... until you said it.

Posted by: Helping Hand Mar 30 2008, 17:20

Optimization is everything. You don't need 15000 tris for an M16 or alike...

Posted by: dg Mar 31 2008, 01:23

Yes, RH Weapons are very good and looking fine. Low Poly dont mean they look bad,

@Helpin' Hand
Yea you're right, but its necessary to increase the poly count. On the old models it isn't possible to make somethin' good with it,
But they're were some guys they even had problems with the old ones.
So if i have to increase the polycount fo' the other ones, why don't let it look a bit better so that you can see the difference.

Posted by: dg Apr 1 2008, 05:59

Guy's,
I need your help,
Which one would you prefer? The old one or the new one?
http://www.abload.de/image.php?img=idiots1lw.jpg
If you say "The old one" please tell me why, I'am doing my best but i'm new in this,
Note: Both are running very smooth

Posted by: Rellikki Apr 1 2008, 17:30

Which one is the old one? They all look the same...
Also, you might want to rework the model, especially the hand grip. See here for reference: http://www.cybershooters.org/dgca/m16a1.htm

Posted by: JdB Apr 1 2008, 17:45

"Default one"

I like the old one better, to me it looks more like the actual M16A1, and not that much different in terms of detail to justify the difference in polycount. It is a little hard to judge though, seeing as the smooth/sharp faces seem to be missing.

"Note: Both are running very smooth"

Is that in a large mission, or by testing it with a single soldier in the editor? (That is a frequently made mistake)

Posted by: Rellikki Apr 1 2008, 17:48

In that case, I also vote for the old one.

Posted by: Helping Hand Apr 1 2008, 18:48

I vote for the old one because the handguard looks a lot more like the real one

Posted by: SoldierX-XDF Apr 2 2008, 01:17

no offense but i think you need to practice modeling a bit more and do a lot more research on what you are modeling. You need to optimise your model and put polys in where they are needed.
For instance the hand guard, its looking far to triangular and sharp. If i were you i would normal map the holes in and put more polys in to beveling off the sharp edges. The groves in the magazine can also be normal mapped on.
Also be careful when using the boolean tool, it is handy but it can make your model very messy.

Try this tutorial mate on modeling a rifle, its for free and its really good for getting the hand of 3dSM. Its what i first used when i started modeling
http://www.tutorialized.com/view/tutorial/Modeling-a-Low-Poly-Galil-Rifle/10790
Good luck

Posted by: dg Apr 2 2008, 06:21

Hey Guys!
Thank you for your critic! I'm gonna try some things out!


edit

I tryed out, to change the handle and some other parts a bit

http://www.abload.de/image.php?img=j16ngz.jpg

I reduced the polys to 3000 too,

But i try do more,

Does anybody know how round it a bit at the handle?

Posted by: MehMan Apr 2 2008, 10:18

That's 3000 polies, but definatley not 3000 triangles. You're wasting polygons all over the place. Besides that it's inaccurate.

Compare it with this:

Posted by: Rellikki Apr 2 2008, 11:19

I totally agree with MehMan and as said before, you don't even need to make high-poly weapons to make them look good. Maybe to make normal maps, but come on... why waste time?

Posted by: dg Apr 4 2008, 05:26

Yes, i'am reducing polys, other things and adding some things,

Posted by: SaS TrooP Apr 4 2008, 15:21

Guys, i got the problem. I am using WINRAR, but wne your pre alpha is downloaded and i am trying to decompress it, i go t message: "I can't find a archives!". While using IZArc the same! How to unpack this mod...

I previously downloaded VTE prior to the release of this last update and everything worked fine. All of the maps came up as did the units.
I downloaded the newer version today and pasted the files in my addon folder.
but now, when I log on it tells me that a config file cannot be found. So I downloaded everything again and found the file. I copied it into the folder and I still get the same message and I cannot even get the game to open.

I did earlier today, but when I went into the mission editor, none of the VTE units or maps were present?

What am I missing?
It worked fine prior to this update but now I get nothing.

Posted by: Snake Man Oct 14 2008, 17:49

Floating jungle block objects have been fixed in the upcoming version.


We are now using in house VTE OFP ported weapons, some Vilas and Skaven's weapons. None of the screenshotted weapon models aren't included in the latest release.


VTE takes good care that all models have proper resolution LODs which end less than 100 polys. For the soldier models I put together I made the LODs which in fact wont end less than hundred, they are in range of 160 or so (there is still tweaking to do heh). I play tested them with probably more than hundred soldiers in a screen at one time running around, no problems at all.

There will be no FPS drop in VTE because bad modeling.


I suggest you re-download and make sure you are using the latest released version, found on VTE official forum of course


I would recommend making a new MOD dir for new version, this way if there is any problems, you still have your working older MOD dir if you need to just jump into the action.

By downloading the latest released version, you will have no problems running it with ArmA v1.14. If you do, follow the install guide step by step, it will most likely fix any earlier install errors.

Hi
I,like to start by saying what an exelent mod, cant wait till its all finnished.
Now I was wondering if and how i can get the doors to open on certain bunkers and buildings. When i place a bunker/building on the map and then try to open the door i get a sqs error. Is this likely to be sorted soon or can i get the sqs script.
Any help would be great as i'v set up a clan around the mod and want to start a campain.

Thanks

This is the Vietnam: The Experience Final Alpha release (05-08-09), it is our sixth release for ArmA. This release has been done after heavy multiplayer testing and several suggestions and requests from the players.

Pre alpha means that this is work in progress. Usually the release cycles go from alpha to beta to release candidate into the final release. This release is still incomplete but the earlier versions have been proven on MP to be very enjoyable, this release should enhance the MP even more. We just want to warn anyone who is interested to not get their hopes up, VTE team is not in the business to overhyping their work.

- Many models have no normal or specular maps.
- Soldier models with bad texturing.
- No missions or campaigns (except on our dedicated server).
- No shadows on ported objects.
- A "few" errors on arma.RPT file...

The bad list continues.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS UNLESS YOU ACCEPT THAT THIS IS WORK IN PROGRESS.

This release contains the following: A1 Skyraider, ACH-47A Gunship, AH1 Cobra, A4 Skyhawk, A6 Intruder, B52 Stratofortress, C130 Hercules, CH-34, CH-47 Chinook, F5 (camo and grey), F4E Phantom (camo and grey), F105 Thunderchief, MC130 Combat Talon, MiG-17 (two camos), MiG-19, UH-1 Huey (slick, dustoff and gunships), O1 Birddog, OH-6, S56 Sikorsky, LSSC, PBR, two sampans, USS Kittyhawk, M48 Patton, M113 ACAV (3 machine guns), M551 Sheridan, PT76, SA-2 SAM, T55 and ZU23. For personal weapons we have: AK47, AR-15 (Colt Commando), CAR-15 GL, Bren2, Browning, DP27, Enfield, Garand, Ithaca, Kar 98K, L1A1, M1 Carbine, M3A1/SD, M14, M16A1, M21, M39 Hush Puppy, M45 Swedish K, M60/shorty, M72 LAW, M79, M1911, Mas36, Mosin 38, Mosin Nagant, MP40, PPD40, PPS43, PPSh, PRC25, RPD, RPG2, RPG7, SKS, Sten/SD, Stoner, SVT, Thompson, Type63, Type 56, Type 68, Uzi and XM177e.

Config for all the VTE v0.4 soldiers (in theory basic OFP VTE v0.4 missions should work with little tweaking), there is now new models for most of the infantry branches. And of course the VTE objects/terrains, including two prototype terrains and few single tree terrains for us to try out in MP environment.

Disclaimer: If you create missions with this release, be prepared to overhaul them completely in the future when we release next version, we guarantee you that classnames and stuff will change to break your missions. However the soldier classnames are now set, I would not think they will get changed, but nothing can be promised at this moment. Be prepared to expect bugs and broken things in this release. More mission porting compatibility has been added to this version.

Screenshots: I run ArmA with all details set to low/very low and disabled, but I did take some shots from our MP sessions with the first release, check them out in http://tactical.nekromantix.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=21169 topic. However here is the earlier screenshots by granQ:

Future plans: We have alot of work to do, all of the models need to be reworked, textures done, terrains... configs... oh boy, dont get me started, anyone care to help? Hehe. I'm looking forward to working for the NAM stuff, it will be great.

This is the leading, most comprehensive and detailed Vietnam war modification.

This is the Vietnam: The Experience final ArmA release (06-14-10).

Even though this is our last ArmA (meaning Armed Assault, ie ArmA 1) release, this is work in progress. We just want to warn anyone who is interested to not get their hopes up, VTE team is not in the business to over hyping their work.

VTE will continue on ArmA 2.

Current issues
- terrains with 1 texture 4WVR haxxor method.
- mines are not working.
- kittyhawk is broken.
- artillery is work in progress.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS UNLESS YOU ACCEPT THAT THIS IS WORK IN PROGRESS.

This release contains the following: A1 Skyraider, ACH-47A Gunship, AH1 Cobra, A4 Skyhawk, A6 Intruder, B52 Stratofortress, C130 Hercules, CH-34, CH-46E, CH-47 Chinook, CH-53, F5 (camo and grey), F4E Phantom (camo and grey), F105 Thunderchief, MC130 Combat Talon, MiG-17 (two camos), MiG-19, UH-1 Huey (slick, dustoff and gunships), O1 Birddog, OH-6, S56 Sikorsky, LSSC, PBR, two sampans, USS Kittyhawk, M48 Patton, M113 ACAV (3 machine guns), M551 Sheridan, PT76, SA-2 SAM, T55 and ZU23. For personal weapons we have: AK47, AR-15 (Colt Commando), CAR-15 GL, Bren2, Browning, DP27, Enfield, Garand, Ithaca, Kar 98K, L1A1, M1 Carbine, M3A1/SD, M14, M16A1, M21, M39 Hush Puppy, M45 Swedish K, M60/shorty, M72 LAW, M79, M1911, Mas36, Mosin 38, Mosin Nagant, MP40, PPD40, PPS43, PPSh, PRC25, RPD, RPG2, RPG7, SKS, Sten/SD, Stoner, SVT, Thompson, Type63, Type 56, Type 68, Uzi and XM177e.

And much much more...

Config for all the VTE v0.4 soldiers (in theory basic OFP VTE v0.4 missions should work with little tweaking), there is now new models for most of the infantry branches. And of course the VTE objects/terrains, including two prototype terrains.
