Came across this sound and effect overhaul for ArmA called Enhanced Configuration System

Basically it replaces using AACF and ArmA effects it also uses Extended Event Handlers. Played about with it in the editor mode and got to say the sounds and effects are great.

Also has cool features like when you blow up a tank or other vehicle it continues to burn and explode i.e rounds exploding within the vehicle. You can also catch on fire if you get to close to a burning vehicle. The soldiers also call out for medics and shout other combat related things during battle. You also get a very cool background chatter whilst in air vehicles sounds of flies around corpses etc etc


Anyway here's the webby
http://www.ecsteam.online.fr/index.php?watch=downloads

What you'd need client side is
http://www.ecsteam.online.fr/index.php?download=client
http://www.ecsteam.online.fr/index.php?download=themis
http://www.ecsteam.online.fr/index.php?download=clientPatch
http://www.ecsteam.online.fr/index.php?download=themis10101

and the extended event handlers script
http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=2605

The ECS client sets up it's own shortcut. All you need to do after installing the other bits and the extended event handlers is to basically make a new folder called @XEH (for the extended event handlers) in your arma file and put the extended event handler script in that
So
Arma
      @XEH
            Addons <---put the extended even handler script in that

My ECS shorcut looks like
"G:\Games\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA\arma.exe" -nosplash -world=sara -mod=@ECS;@XEH

Think it would be a good one fits all addon for ArmA

Also looking into another mod called SLX that apparently can be run along side ECS adding in other features like body dragging, gibbing, better smoke effects on grenades (just for varp)

i'm going to try out again the sixth sense stuff (damn thing's about a gig to start before downloading further patches lol) and another mod called FFN Mod which looks like it incorperates a lot of the SLX stuff (hopefully being more stable?)

I'll see how both play out of course it comes down to if both or either will kill our dedicated server like the SLX does with anything over and above Vanilla missions.
