VILAS ADDONS, VILAS ADDONS Options

*In Library, AKMS seems to have an addon prefix, so it is identified as "kbk AKMS."

*Infantrymen have Spanish names; I don't know if there is any way to make custom name tables or if it is hardwired into the game.

*When any troops are put on "Independent" side (eg. Poles), some soldiers are black; I of course have no problems with black soldiers but it kills the immersion when my troops are supposed to be Slavs. I remember a similar problem in OFP when I would code resistance troops to be on the west side. Likewise, I don't know if there is a workaround for this or if it is an engine limitation.

*Like I mentioned before, pretty much all the nameSound entries are incorrect or misleading, like having an LAV called a "BRDM" or a Leopard called an "Abrams." In ARMA you can use generic name sounds (I tested it... it works) just like in OFP, such as:
nameSound = "APC"; nameSound = "tank"; nameSound = "truck"; nameSound = "car"; nameSound = "plane" ...etc.

Have you thought about creating radio operators? Even if they don't serve any function in-game, it would look neat and be more immersive if each platoon had a radio operator.

Hi, the only way to fix the aleatory use of blacks faces will be to define/force the use of whities faces in the units config, making 'em look like clones; each
rifleman will have the same face that the rifleman standing next to him, each sniper will have the same face than the other sniper standing next to him etc..
that can't solved; the random side use of the game's faces it's an engine's thing as far as i know. Let's C ya

it is because Poles use their own production AKMS, kbk means short from "KaraBineK" < "carbine"
so in Polish it is "Carbine AKMS", like Beryl is "Carbine 1996"
of course i have to fix weapons pack in next release, Polish AKMS should have dark wood, like CWR AKM, oposite to bright wood from Russian manufactory (other type of wood)
