WW2 Phones

Description
WW2 Phones

The mod uses functionality of the Task Force Arma 3 radio[github.com] mod to realize the corded phone communication .

Notes:

Mod requires v0.9.12 or v1.Beta of the TFAR mod.

To use phones place several phones in the editor. Set unique 3 digit phone number for each phone unit in the attributes. In the mission take the receiver and dial a target number using numerical buttons on the keyboard. Once the target phone receiver is taken the communication starts, no extra button usage is needed.

The field phones require a connection from Cable reel if checkbox 'Stationary' is not checked. Using numpad numbers (sw radio channel selection) one can select a 'line' the field telephone is connected to, thus sub-nets of phones of the same type can be organized. To talk use Push-to-talk button, the same as for the short range radio communication.

To be able to use a long range radio of a Radio Operator unit place 'Radio Operator Module' on the map. Use Push-to-talk button, the same as for the long range radio to talk.

The mod changes the default rope model to a thinner one.

Who experience an issue with not hearing the opponent on the phone, try the fix proposed by CDRommel: in the global TFAR settings enable the "dont mute manually on teamspeak" and the "initialize on briefing/start" options.

Acknowledgment:

Great thanks to [RATS] ARAB who initiated the phone mod development and did a lot of mod testing together with his squad.

Big thanks to Kate Pospelova[www.artstation.com] for providing very nice model of the Soviet radio station "North".

The mod was developed for the RED BEAR Iron Front[www.red-bear.ru] community making weekly TvT games with missions dedicated to WW2 battles.
If your team is interested to participate in those games you are very welcome!

Thanks to Frank Wickets for translation to czech language and deep test of the phones.

P.S. Here is also a simple demo mission on Altis where any caller phone location is displayed on a screen with the map when someone calls 911: map_phone.Altis.7z[drive.google.com]

@UEemperor, Arma does not have good implementation of "live" volume control. Therefore unfortunately I do not have a vision how to realize it in a good way. I did not know that there is some problem with zeus. Normally I do not use zeus. I will check it.

@Bingo, I started to make mobile phones mod a while ago, but I gave it up due to lack of time. I might get back to it this winter when I have more free time.

Hi, I was wondering if there were any plans to add a sort of mobile phone function, like an ace equipment tool that allows you to access an interface that allows for calling/call receiving. It would be so sick to see some old flip phones and bricks. Love the mod, keep up the amazing work. Thanks

Dude, reforger doesnt even compare to arma 3. Arma 4 when it comes out, ofc, but reforger? meeeeeeh.


But ofc i understand if you dont want to, thats up to you!!! But again, thank you so much for all of this, it is an incredible mod that has given us so many new awesome mission opportunities.

Also, something irrelevant to this mod:
Would you consider your other mod, retrothings, be updated to be used in zeus and have volume control? (Just a thought)
[ANVIL] KpoT  [author] 24 Jul @ 1:40pm 
@Shiloh, no problem, you can use what you need.
[ANVIL] KpoT  [author] 24 Jul @ 1:38pm 
@UEemperor, I will revise the mod for the points you raised. About new stuff, hm.. there is already Reforger at a good level, if one should spend time for A3 modding is questionable.

@[ANVIL] KpoT first, thank you so much for making this. Second, I'm developing a new mod pack for my unit and was looking to include this, but also don't need all of the functionality it provides.

If I'm able to cut out everything except for the portion that lets people use long range radios carried by someone else is it ok to upload that mod with full attributions to you?

Dude, krot. First of all, this mod needs the absolute attention. This is SUCH a kickass mod.

Now, there are a few things that i want to ask, and also some requests.

1. Can we make it so that the morse code thingie SAVES messages (on the text?)
2. Can the morse thing be tuned in to specific frequencies or something?
3. The phones do not work when placed in zeus. Could we have a fix for that?
4. Could there be a better documentation of what everything does?
and lastly
5. Will you be adding new stuff? Im kinda addicted to this mod. If only it was more zeus friendly for on-the-go mission.

Dude, again, THANK YOU for this mod. This is incredible.
