Evaider submitted his Support System script.

Quote Evaider :
An interface based support system for Arma 2/ Arma 2: OA.
It includes ammo drop, air support, transport, reinforcements and a road block generator all called from the custom interface.
This Is my first attempt at a dialog system so any feedback will be appreciated!
Thank You.

When deploying the roadblock allow enough room around where you are and your Humvee because its quite
large and its spawns from your Humvee.

Jeza informed us Marseille77 released his Military Police Pack on the BI forums.

Quote Marseille77 :
This Pack presents some men of the military police forces in:
- Germany (1971 - 2012)
- Austria (2012)
- GDR (1975 - 1990)

The German Military Police is called "Feldjäger" (field hunter) in Germany. They became that name from the former Prussian Army unit to avoid the compare with the former Wehrmacht unit. Their badge on the beret contains the "Order of the Black Eagle"-star with the famous quote of Frederick the Great "Suum Cuique" (to each what he deserves).

Austria calls they units "Militärstreife" (military patrol). From 1956 til 1975 the GDR Military Police was called "Kommandantendienst (KD)" (Commando Service)and after 1975 til the German Reunion they had the same name like in Austria.

colonel stagler released his Krinkov weapons pack on the BI forums.
This is a small weapon pack with four modernised AKS-74Us included.

Quote colonel stagler :
Haters. Got AK's?
I have, and here is a mini weapon pack for everyone to use. I released these because although Vilas AK pack has some decent modernised AKs. They are not very intra-mod compatible, nor were they the kind of AKs I really wanted. So I knocked these up.


Features:

• Four modernised AKS-74Us including suppressed variants, and Micro Aimpoint variants.
  
• Working IR lasers.
  
• Ammobox containing the weapons.
  
• Compatible with ACE 2 and all soundmods since they inherit directly from the default AKS74U classes.

Old Bear released an updated version of his [ADO] Bear Rocks island on the BI forums.
This is a small island featuring wild high grounds surrounded by low narrow coastal continuous area.

Quote Old Bear :
A deep fjord nearly cuts the island in two part ... at the end of the fjord, a naval base. Of course in the initial project these base must have been an underground subs base but I have not found a model fitting my need so atm, it's just a naval base.

All along the coast military bases, farms, villages and ruined villages are to be found. There is a small town, an harbour and some factories in the South. A main airbase is set in the West. Nearby, a town built as a CQB training area.


Changelog:

• Modified island picture in GUI,
  
• Added "Mischa" -a small town- in the North-West using open ArmA2 houses,
  
• Added "Radio Station"
  
• Modified size and amount for "rockwall" rocks, used for cliffs,
  
• Many small objects placement modifications.

Jedra has released an Enhanced Skills Slider v0.1 beta addon on the BI Forums. CBA needed.DescriptionWith some of the changes to the way precision-enemy and precision-friendly work in the 1.6 patch, I started to look at how the AI works in Arma 2, paying particular attention to the Skills Array. In various bouts of testing I found that the skills array had a drastic effect on the way the AI behaved. I came to the conclusion that just having a slider for overall skill was not giving the player, or server admin the fine control they needed. Hence the Enhanced Skills Slider.The Enhanced Skills Slider will allow you to change the skills of a whole side, a whole group or a single unit on the fly. It works in Single Player, Multiplayer (LAN) and Multiplayer (Dedicated).The Enhanced Skills Slider is a Client Side Addon and will only be available to the server admin when playing multiplayer. It is accessed via the Action menu....Features- View skill values currently set for individual units- Change individual skill values on the fly for Sides, Groups and single units- Increase or decrease skills based on a percentage value- Apply random skills to units based on a supplied range- Apply a spread to Random Ranges so that each unit is slightly different- Client Side Addon- Restricted to Server Admin in Multiplayer- V2 Key Signature included- Optional confid for CfgAISkills included see below)- Full (ish!) documentation included in the download

Blakeace has informed us about Blake's PINS and Bombing. v0.5 alpha addon release on the BI Forums. CBA needed.Version 0.5a- Changed Flir colour from green to white.- Added Lase indicator to the camera view.- Added Grid reference of SP to the camera view.- Added current weapons name and ammo amount to the camera view.- Changed hud colours to be either bright or dark options only.- Changed the camera info to be either black or white dependant on the hud colour settings.- Added the ability to fire weapons from the camera view, keyboard only, watch key. (Joysticks with the ability to assign key strokes may be able to use that function to fire from the stick - not tested).- Added mouse support for moving the camera.Note: Video is of an older module version. I haven't had time to create a newer one.Current version has no module, it uses CBA to launch the addon.
