add the ability to throw away Mk. V SOC from S-17

@Bean even at night? The lights are not really visible during the day, which is why I added the hint "Red Light" and "Green Light"

Lol I finally get to say this: it's not a bug, it's a feature. When you select "give player parachute" (which is optional) it stores the loadout you had prior to selecting that. It then gives you a parachute and once you land it restores the loadout you had before. This is basically just an alternative to using something like the Backpack on Chest mod and it's a quick way to prepare for a jump so you don't have to do anything in the arsenal if you don't want. Like I said though, it's completely optional. It's also nice for if you are wearing HALO gear but when you land you want a boonie and not halo gear; you would set your gear up how you want, then select "give player parachute" then add the HALO gear you want "helmet, goggles/mask etc) in the arsenal. You then carry out everything as normal, and once you land it will automatically give you back your backpack, boonie, etc and remove HALO gear. It's basically a quick, less immersive way of storing gear.

There is a bug when we land, everyone gets his old gear, like if we do another stuff with vest, uniform etc whenever we land it loads the previous gear, any idea how to fix it ?

I don't know if it's just me but for the most part the comp runs fine, but the red light or green light never comes on

@Lastman, I figured out that WDL means woodland

Is there a way to add a cool down on this? You use it once, but can't use it again within 15 minutes.

@Pandemic , exept from the SP compositions, what is the differences between this compositions? all of them make me use the C-17 and none of them allow me to use the c130, other differences?

HALO_USAF+RHS_NoHint
HALO_USAF+RHS_NoHint_WDL
Pandemics_USAF+RHS_WDL_HALO
Pandemics_USAF+RHS_HALO

What does WDL stand for? questions opened to everyone who knows!

@Pandemic, fantastic mod I've been enjoying this a lot today, is there a reason why i can only get the C-17?, I've tried all the compositions and the C-17 is the only aircraft i spawn in?

Dear Pandemic, i am very interested in your mod but i having trouble getting it to work, i am new to compositions, so i might be messing things up, i followed the instructions in the video but im not sure if i have to add the compositions in the editor? Again im new to compositions so i probably messed a step up, Please Pandemic or anyone who has experienced issues lmk if there is something i am missing.

Nice job.

Can I get 150m parachute jump too,that don`t hurt the player? Thank you.

IS there gonna be an option to force all players to board, and to have a certain role be the only one who can access the computer?

Lowering the engine volume for like TFAR and stuff?

Cav pretty sure when its placed down in eden it because a dependency so yes would need to be ran server side also if you are working with a dedicated

@Pandemic, does this have to be run serverside also ?

hey man what mods do you get for the Halo gear

is there any way to decrease engine sound? its hard to communicate via TFAR becuz of engine sound

Could this possibly work with Zeus? amazing mod.

Just reading comments, i think a "group Board" to force all players in the leaders group into the plan would be amazing! also great work so far. about to test this in my units server

Yeah i remember having to give specific names to my unit group and it was limited to 8 guys I think, it's perfect as it is anyway!

@Mr.Kella the plane despawns

@✪OncE WDL means woodland, basically lets you choose between tan or woodland skins for vehicles

@Nidonreb thanks. I would love to do that, the problem is it requires the mission maker to edit the names of each unit in their squad and then configure the script for the amount of units they want to have and THEN configure the position for each unit it stand in in the plane. It works great if you know what you’re doing but for the average user it would be too complicated unfortunately

Amazing work, using this for months now. I think you could maybe take inspiration from RickoShay HALO script for singleplayers tho, as here AI's actually are standing, then run off the ramp to jump, would be a neat feature in my opinion!

hi pandemic! whats the different with WDL and non WDL?

what happens if you don't jump in time?

I tried loading with Russian (RHS) vehicles. I couldn't. But the mod still works great
All I had to do is:
1) Watch the f*cking video
2) Right click......

The f ing mod works

That would be quite helpful. We spent some time tinkering with that, but my coding skills in sqf aren't that great, so if you knew a way to implement this nicely it would be much appreciated.

@Eviscares you’re correct. But I haven’t ever thought about a group board plane action. Would that be helpful to your group?

Thanks for the great comp. We tried to use it and after a lot of testing in 3den, I was kind of surprised how it worked when I ran the mission. Is it correct that everybody has to pick up a parachute, and needs to use the board the plane action separately or was there something wrong with my setup?

@Enzio no problem. I understand, it is a different type of mod and when I made it there wasn't really any easy way to share it other than this method lol

Thanks for reply. Aah, yeah, now everything makes sense, sorry about that. Myself and other server admin haven't encountered this kind of mod earlier, so we didn't have any idea how we should add it or how it works. We will inform our mission makers about this. Thank you again.

@Enzio you don’t need the PBO on the server. It’s just an empty PBO because Steam wouldn’t let me upload without a PBO. Only the mission maker needs to have the mod downloaded/installed. Everyone else can just join and play

Hello, I am trying to get this mod work on our server, but I encountered quite a problem. I noticed you haven't signed pbo file and generated key for mod. Our server is complaining about missing key or unsigned pbo file and automatically kicks out from server. I tried signing mod myself, but that didn't work also, maybe something related to pbo packing method.

So I was hoping you could check pbo file, sign it and so on. We are planning doing event with this mod, but for now it is on hold. Thanks for advance.

@Paint Thinner™ DM me

@TwinkleDicks you'd have to open the attributes on the laptop and I recommend copying and pasting the init code to something like Notepad++ then where the action is to "give player parachute" you replace "player addBackpack "B_Parachute";" with whatever classname you want your parachute to be. DM me if you need more help, it's easier for me to respond.

@376 | L | Sergeant Brandon P. You may have put it in the wrong profile folder. Arma can be weird like that and create a second profile folder. One way to find it is to create your own composition and then search for whatever you named it in your windows explorer (be sure to name it something unique and a single word)

I added my compositions to my arma profile but in the Eden Editor I still don't see the composition to spawn it in? It just doesn't show in the folder

How do I change the halo parachute to a custom Halo jump gear from other mods?

What mods were used in the screenshots?

@afreeland88 in the latest update I added the ability to drop a cargo box with Arsenal/ACE arsenal capability. As for one that you pack yourself prior to a jump...it's theoretically possible but I can see some issues arising. I'll give it a try though.

@ MAJORPAIN1022 this mod doesn't come with gear

hey great mod , i have a request i dunno if its possible but instead of being able to drop veichles can you do it so it drops cargo crates ? ones that u could fill up before hand with equipment ?

where do i find the halo jump gear in the arsenal?

@Fireman3549 thanks man!! I really appreciate it!!

@Pandemic Congrats on finishing paramedic school!! And it's great to hear that this mod will eventually be placeable as Zeus. Keep up the great work this is by far one of my favorite mods

@MADCOW thanks man! And thank you for your kind words on the mod!

sounds amazing! DRO is great, but paired with this mod, the immersion will be unreal (amazing). Btw congrats on finishing paramedic school

@Fireman3549 @MADCOW still in the works. I just finished paramedic school so I have free time again and I can really get back into it now (I do a lot of DRO missions too so trust me I feel you guys lol). I’ll get started on it this week

@Fireman3549 that is what I've been wanting for this really bad too. He told me it was in his roadmap but idk if things changed since then. This would be perfect for dynamic recon ops especially for a maritime insertion with the options of boats. Btw I think this would also be nice with more boats AMAZING MOD

Is there any way to make this placeable as Zeus?

@Pandemic could you create a Supply drop system based off of say a handheld device that allows you to drop ammo, med supplies, ect? btw love the mod!!!!

@Everyone update coming. Just need to figure out if I can and how to switch to Arma's new ability to share compositions in the workshop.

@BH_style1 so I'm not sure yet, I need to play around with it a little. In theory it should make it easier but I'm not sure how it's going to work switching to that mod type. In other words, if you already have the current composition, I need to find out if making the switch will automatically update your current composition with the new version if that makes sense. But once I figure it out it should be easier.

will this be easier to install now because of the arma3 2.0 update with compositions on the workshop
