TF999 Rappelling & Fast-Roping

Fast-rope out of a hovering helicopter, or rope down (or up) a building edge. Both use the ACE self-interaction menu — hold your ACE self-interact key and look for Rappelling & Fast-Roping. In a helicopter or VTOL you only get Fast-Roping. On foot you only get Rappelling. Nothing here uses the vanilla scroll-wheel action menu.

Rappelling

Setting Default What it does
Items Needed For Rappelling None Whether building-edge rappelling needs rope items, or rope + a harness, in your inventory.
Ropes Handling After Rappelling Always Keep In Inventory What happens to used ropes: keep them, leave them piled at the start, or leave the rope hanging in place.
Rappelling Velocity 1 m/s How fast you rope down/up a building edge.

Fast-Roping

Prepare Rope (ACE menu) consumes a rope of 9 m or longer from your inventory or the helicopter's inventory (3 m and 6 m ropes only count for urban rappel). Descent itself does not need another rope — it uses the two settings below. Fast Rope Self only shows after Prepare, between 5 m and 150 m AGL, when the airframe’s horizontal speed is 15 km/h or less (a hover or slow creep), and not if you are the flying pilot.

Setting Default What it does
Requirements None What you must have to descend after the rope is prepared: nothing extra, or a harness in inventory.
Extra Required Items (empty) Optional comma-separated list of anything else you must be wearing or carrying to descend — a specific uniform, vest, backpack, headgear, goggles/gloves item, binoculars, or inventory classname. Put eaf_giglovesscarf here if you want the GI gloves. Leave empty for no extra requirement.

Rope items work with real ACE rope (ACE_rope3 through ACE_rope192, in a ladder where 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 24, 27, 36, 48, 72, 96, 144, and 192 m are all available) — no separate TF999 rope items exist anymore. If you have an ACE wire cutter (ACE_wirecutter, never consumed), the ACE self-interact menu also has a Cut Rope action under Equipment that cuts your longest carried rope into two ropes of half its length (15 m and 27 m ropes have no clean half and can't be cut further).

Two keybinds also exist under TF999 Rappelling & Fast-Roping in Controls → Configure Addons (building-edge rappelling only — the heli version is ACE-menu-only): Attach / Rappel / Detach (all-in-one) and Detach Rope (drops a persistent hanging rope).


TF999 Breach

Update Weather On Flip this to force a weather refresh.

Overcast, lightning, rain, fog, waves, and wind each have a current value plus min/max for dynamic weather. Fog max defaults very low (0.01) so it does not white-out the map.

Corner Shooting

Lean the rifle around or over cover. Ctrl + right mouse is also TSP Cant by default — rebind one of them under Configure Addons if they fight.

Setting Default What it does
Disable camera shift On When on, the third-person camera does not slide with the weapon as you peek. Turn it off if you want the camera to follow the lean.

Setting Default What it does
Enable Align On Turns the aim-in settle shake on or off.
Enable Align steady shake On A small continuous shake while you stay aimed in, scaled by fatigue. Off automatically if Align itself is disabled.

Recoil

Animated recoil on top of the weapon's own recoil. Also stacks with other recoil/sway mods (last writer wins on the live coefficient). The intensity of the recoil animation itself is no longer a manual setting — it now scales automatically with the weapon you're carrying (heavier and longer weapons kick harder) and with any muzzle device attached.

Setting Default What it does
Change weapon recoil 1.2 Multiplier on weapon recoil. 1 is unchanged.
Change weapon sway 1 Multiplier on weapon sway. Other aim-sway mods usually overwrite this.

Enable coefficients for AI On Lets the min/max skill sliders below do anything.
Enable adding coefficients On Adds those coefficients on top of the unit's skill instead of replacing it.
AI skill min/max (general, aiming accuracy/speed/shake, reload, commanding, courage, spot distance/time, endurance) 1 each Multipliers on those AI skills. Leave at 1 unless you want smarter/dumber AI.

Grenade Throwing

Animated throw. Extended grenade throw is on by default and replaces the vanilla/ACE throw (it deletes that projectile and throws its own). Turn it off for overlay-only animations that leave ACE throwing alone. Left mouse / right mouse / mouse wheel defaults clash with TSP cancel and melee — rebind if needed.

Setting Default What it does
Extended grenade throw On Uses this pack's throw instead of vanilla/ACE. Off = animation overlay only.
Enable for AI On AI play the initiation effects.

Injury chance 0.6 Chance of extra injury after bailing (Project Injury Reaction).
Injury delay min / max 0 / 3 s When that extra injury starts.

Throw Force

Per-style throw strength and angle. UP / MIDDLE / DOWN are the three throw types; 1 / 11 / 12 are force notches (mouse wheel). Prone has its own set. Reverse throw is separate.

Setting Default What it does

Building scan range 30 m Search radius for buildings (measured to the model centre).
Slow down duration 4 s How long an AI walks instead of running after opening a door.

Windows

Setting Default What it does
Window assaults On AI move to a window and climb in to reach an enemy inside a building.
Search range 40 m How far an AI looks for a building with a target inside.
Units per building 2 How many AI can assault the same building at once.
Approach timeout 300 s Seconds allowed to reach the window before the AI gives up.
Hunt after climbing in Off Keep steering the AI toward the target after it's inside. When off, the AI rejoins its group and normal AI takes over.
Leave formation On Move the AI to its own group during the assault so formation orders don't pull it back.

Debug (all off by default) prints extra logs/chat messages for climbing, window assaults, and doors. Leave them off.

Double Time

Weapon-specific alternative sprint styles (fast run side-to-side, WW2 style, water wading, pistol/launcher sprint), ported from the "alternative_running" source pack. Double-tap Shift + W to start (see keybinds_users.md), then keep holding it to keep sprinting — releasing the key cancels it, and so does turning, stopping, running out of stamina, taking a leg injury, or opening Zeus/Arsenal. Turn off "Require double-tap" below to start it with a single press instead — the key still works no matter what you rebind it to.

Starting needs at least the "start" stamina threshold below, but once you're already sprinting it's allowed to keep draining past that down to the lower "continue" threshold before it cuts off — so starting at high stamina doesn't get interrupted the instant you dip under the start requirement.

Setting Default What it does
Require double-tap On If off, a single press of Double Time starts it instantly instead of needing a double-tap (still cancels on release either way).
Stamina threshold - start 40% Minimum stamina needed to start Double Time.
Stamina threshold - continue 20% Once sprinting, stamina has to drop to this (lower) point before Double Time cuts off — starting above 40% isn't interrupted just for dipping under it.
Prevent with backpack Off When on, you can't start Double Time while wearing a backpack, unless that backpack is in the exclude list below.
Backpack exclude list (empty) Comma-separated backpack classnames still allowed to Double Time even when "Prevent with backpack" is on.
Stamina cost multiplier - with backpack 5x How much faster Double Time burns stamina compared to normal running while you're wearing a backpack.
Stamina cost multiplier - no backpack 3x Same, but when you don't have a backpack on.
Stamina cost - load effect 1 How much your equipment load pushes the cost above, on top of the multiplier — 0 means load doesn't matter, 1 means being fully loaded doubles it.
Sprint style - default Weapon Up Style used for magazines holding 11–39 rounds (typical assault rifles).
Sprint style - machine gun Fast run (side to side) Style used for magazines holding 40+ rounds.
Sprint style - bolt-action WW2 style Style used for magazines holding 10 or fewer rounds.

TF999 Item Info

Shows a stats panel for the item you select in the inventory screen.

Setting Default What it does
Item stats interaction Single click Single click: selecting an item shows its stats, double-click hides them. Double click: double-clicking an item toggles its stats.
Mass display Estimated kg Show item mass in Arma units, estimated kilograms, or estimated pounds.

TF999 Item Restriction

Blocks wearing one item together with another (default: NVGs on a cap or hat). Stripped items go into inventory, or onto the ground if there is no space. Put the rule on the item that causes it — children inherit it:

incompatibleSlottedItems[] = {"hmd", "facemask", "radio"};
incompatibleItemClasses[] = {"NVGoggles"};
incompatibleItemClassesBase[] = {"H_HelmetB"};

incompatibleSlottedItems is slot types (not a classname). incompatibleItemClasses is exact classnames in any slot. incompatibleItemClassesBase is those classes plus everything that inherits from them. Extra CBA TriggerClass:slotOrClass rules below are for items you do not own.

Setting Default What it does
Enabled On Master switch for item restriction.
Allow NVGs with nothing on head On If off, an empty head slot also strips / blocks NVGs.
Trigger whitelist (empty) Classnames that never impose restrictions when worn.
Force HMD-block list (empty) Classnames that always block the NVG slot when worn.
Never-remove list HMD-slot gadgets, cigs, gloves, ACE NVG binoculars Classnames this addon will not unequip.

TF999 Enhanced Ranks

Per-unit/per-UID rank-insignia system (~30 nations' worth of insignia sets), a Zeus "Enhanced Rank" module, and Eden editor attributes to set a unit's insignia faction/icon by hand.

General

Setting Default What it does
Rank size 1x Scales the size of the rank insignia icon.
Rank name language Arabic Language you see rank names in on the overhead nametag — affects how you view everyone, not just yourself. Falls back to English for any nation whose ranks don't have an Arabic name yet.
Default rank info default_faction / default_rank Fallback faction/icon used for players with no other match.
UID system Disabled How per-player insignia is assigned: Disabled, Config (mission config), or CBA Settings (below).

UID Settings

Setting Default What it does
UID settings amount 16 How many numbered player-UID slots (below) are editable. Requires a mission reopen to take effect.
# - Rank default_faction / default_rank Faction/icon assigned to the UIDs in the matching # - UIDs slot.
# - UIDs (empty) Player UIDs (comma-separated) that should get the matching # - Rank.

TF999 Persistence Players

These are server/host settings, not something each player picks for themselves.


Advanced Towing

ACE-integrated ground-vehicle towing: prepare/pack a tow rope, attach it to another vehicle, and drive it away. Helicopter sling loading (deploy/extend/shorten/retract cargo ropes) ships in the same addon but has no settings of its own — see its keybinds below.

General

Setting Default What it does
Enable towing On Master switch for the whole towing system.

Inventory

Setting Default What it does
Require ACE rope On If on, you (or the vehicle's cargo) must actually be carrying an ACE rope item to prepare a tow rope.
Allowed rope classes ACE_rope3, ACE_rope6, ACE_rope12, ACE_rope15, ACE_rope18, ACE_rope27, ACE_rope36 Which ACE rope items count, and how long each one's tow rope ends up.

AE3 Computers

An in-game laptop/computer simulation: a virtual OS with a terminal, a desktop GUI, a filesystem, USB flash drives, WiFi routers, and power (batteries/generators/solar). Settings are split across categories named after AE3's own sub-systems.

TF999 AE3 Main

Setting Default What it does

These are server/host settings for the ones marked global in settings.md; most others are per-player preferences.


TF999 AI Camouflage

Category in Addon Options: TF999 AI Camouflage, split into General, Camouflage, Camouflage - Realism and LAMBS Compatibility. These are server/host settings; the host's values apply to everyone.

General

Setting Default What it does
Compatibility mode Automatic Automatic enables realistic camouflage and uses the LAMBS information-sharing filter when LAMBS is present. Trait Only keeps camouflage, audibility and the AI concealment guard but skips the LAMBS filter. Disabled turns the whole system off.
Show camouflage debug hint Off Shows a live on-screen readout of your own camouflage state: camouflage and audibility, cover, terrain and clothing, firing penalty, light on you, stance and speed. For testing. Only affects your own screen.

Camouflage

Setting Default What it does
Enable dynamic camouflage On Owner-local camouflage and audibility processing for players, server AI and headless-client AI.
Manage movement audibility On Also lowers how far your footsteps carry while you move slowly and stay hidden, and puts it back to normal when you stop being hidden.
Unit update interval 1.25 Seconds between updates for each local unit. Work is staggered across frames.
Processing batch size 16 Maximum local units considered during one scheduler pass.
Vegetation check radius 6.5 Radius used to measure nearby bushes and trees. Results are cached per unit.
Vegetation cache time 1.5 Seconds before physical foliage is checked again.
Realistic AI concealment guard On Prevents AI groups from acquiring or retaining impossible target knowledge through solid terrain, walls, dense bushes or strong grass concealment. Works with vanilla AI and LAMBS.
Concealment guard interval 0.25 Seconds between group-level target-lock validation checks.
Concealment guard radius 350 Maximum distance around local AI groups where the addon validates player target acquisition.
Legitimate sight memory 2.5 Short grace period after a real clear sighting before grass/bush concealment removes exact target lock. Solid terrain and walls remain authoritative immediately.
Dense-cover visibility threshold 0.70 How hidden you must be by dense bushes or grass before the AI is considered unable to see you. Higher is stricter.
Close-range reveal distance 4 At very close range a genuinely clear, unobstructed view can reveal a target. Physical bush/grass proxies and solid terrain still take precedence.
Close-contact persistence 10 Seconds a genuinely identified nearby target remains visually trackable through soft grass or bush cover. Prevents crouching/proning from instantly erasing a contact. Solid terrain and walls still break sight immediately.
Close-contact persistence radius 18 Maximum distance where recent genuine visual identification can temporarily override soft grass/bush occlusion. Does not override terrain or walls.
Night vision sees through soft cover On AI with night vision switched on (not merely worn) are not blocked by grass or bushes, and need less visibility to count as seeing you. Walls and hills still block them.
Night vision visibility requirement 0.6 Fraction of the normal visibility an AI with night vision switched on needs to count as having a clear view of you. Lower means night vision spots you more easily.
Enable physical grass/bush LOS occlusion On Lets thick grass and dense bushes really block the AI's line of sight, so it can't see through cover that looks solid to you.
Grass line-of-sight blocking On Samples observer-to-target sightlines against terrain and grass surfaces. Deep grass blocks vision regardless of clothing; ghillies also benefit in marginal grass.
Bush and dense foliage blocking On Treats genuinely dense bushes around the target as physical visual cover. Ordinary clothing can hide in a sufficiently dense bush; ghillies remain effective in less-perfect foliage.
Physical occlusion update interval 0.25 How often the grass and bush blocking is refreshed, in seconds. Lower is more responsive but costs more performance.
Physical occlusion radius 260 Maximum distance from each player where local hostile AI receive grass/bush LOS validation.
Maximum occlusion observers 32 Maximum closest local hostile AI evaluated per player in each pass. Limits CPU cost in large missions.
Grass LOS sample spacing 7 Approximate metres between terrain samples along the AI-to-player line of sight. Lower values detect narrow grass ridges more accurately but cost more CPU.
Maximum grass LOS samples 22 Hard cap on terrain samples per observer/target check.

Camouflage - Realism

Setting Default What it does
Minimum camouflage coefficient 0.04 Safety floor. Lower values make deeply concealed units harder for AI to visually detect.
Maximum camouflage coefficient 1.80 Safety ceiling for highly exposed or mismatched units.
No-match camouflage 1.20 Multiplier for an outfit that does not blend into the ground at all (rating 0). Better matches fall on a straight line from this down to the perfect-match value.
Perfect-match camouflage 0.42 Multiplier for a perfect match with the ground (rating 1), which a ghillie suit gets on its own kind of ground, before stance, movement and cover.
Ghillie on the wrong ground 0.76 The worst multiplier a ghillie can get: it still breaks up the wearer's outline on ground it does not match, but is weaker than a match.
Full-ghillie outline factor 0.82 Additional multiplier for full-body ghillie suits.
Hi-vis clothing penalty 1.55 Multiplier for the most conspicuous gear (full hi-vis) compared with an outfit that has no match. Civilian clothing counts as partly conspicuous.
Prone factor 0.70 Stance multiplier while prone.
Crouch factor 0.84 Stance multiplier while crouched.
Standing factor 1.00 Stance multiplier while standing.
Movement penalty per m/s 0.11 Additional exposure per metre per second. Uses actual metres per second.
Physical foliage effect 0.62 Maximum visual detection reduction from actual bushes, trees, tall grass and dense surface clutter.
Ghillie-in-cover bonus 0.55 Additional multiplier for a slow crouched or prone ghillie unit in real physical foliage.
Unsuppressed firing penalty 0.55 Temporary additional exposure after firing an unsuppressed weapon.
Suppressed firing penalty 0.20 Temporary additional exposure after firing with the active weapon's suppressor.
Firing penalty duration 18 Seconds over which firing exposure fades.
Visible tracer firing penalty 0.8 Extra exposure added on top of the normal firing penalty when the round fired is a visible tracer. A suppressor or subsonic ammunition does not reduce it.
Tracer night multiplier 2 Multiplies the visible tracer penalty in the dark. Full effect at night, none in full daylight, blending through dawn and dusk.
Infrared tracer firing penalty 0 Extra exposure added for infrared tracer rounds (ammunition or magazine names containing IR or Dim). They cannot be seen without night vision, so this is normally 0.
Subsonic speed limit 340 Bullets leaving the muzzle slower than this speed, in metres per second, count as subsonic.
Subsonic firing penalty 0.12 Temporary additional exposure after firing subsonic ammunition without a suppressor. Replaces the normal unsuppressed firing penalty.
Subsonic suppressed firing penalty 0.06 Temporary additional exposure after firing subsonic ammunition through a suppressor.
Subsonic shot audibility 1.15 How much louder you are for a few seconds after firing subsonic ammunition without a suppressor. 1 means no extra noise.
Subsonic suppressed shot audibility 1.05 How much louder you are for a few seconds after firing subsonic ammunition through a suppressor. 1 means no extra noise.
Light on the soldier affects camouflage On At night and outdoors, a soldier lit by a flashlight, lamp or flare is easier to spot, and one standing in the dark is harder to spot. Fades to nothing by day and has no effect indoors or under a roof.
Darkness bonus 0.7 Camouflage multiplier for a soldier with no light on them at night. A faint light counts as darkness too, fading to neutral at a moderate light. Lower is harder to spot.
Strong light penalty 2 Camouflage multiplier for a soldier in very strong light, such as right next to a flare on the ground. Weaker lights scale between neutral and this value.
Weapon light penalty 1.6 Camouflage multiplier at night for a soldier whose weapon light is switched on in a visible mode, outdoors. Infrared modes do not count because they cannot be seen without night vision. Fades to nothing by day. 1 turns it off.
Deep concealment threshold 0.34 Final camouflage coefficient below which a slow unit in dense physical cover is considered deeply concealed.
Minimum audible coefficient 0.12 Lowest movement audibility allowed while stationary in strong cover.
Maximum audible coefficient 1.50 Maximum movement audibility while exposed or moving quickly.
Foliage sound damping 0.58 How strongly dense vegetation reduces movement audibility.

LAMBS Compatibility

Setting Default What it does
Enable automatic LAMBS integration On When LAMBS Danger is loaded, hooks into its radio information sharing. It does not change LAMBS behaviours, settings or group memory.
Prevent uncertain deep-cover radio reveals On Stops LAMBS from radioing your position to other AI when you are truly hidden from the receiving unit by terrain, a wall, thick cover or deep concealment.
Maximum uncertain knowledge 1.35 Kept only so older saved settings still load. It no longer has any effect.
Maximum obscured visibility 0.18 A LAMBS radio share can only be blocked when the receiving unit's direct view of you is at or below this value.

TF999 Vegetation Interaction

Category in Addon Options: TF999 Vegetation Interaction, split into General, Performance and Debug. Pushing through dense bushes and undergrowth slows soldiers down; the faster they move, the more it holds them back.

General

Setting Default What it does
Slow player in vegetation On Slows you when you push through bushes and undergrowth. Your own preference.
Slow AI in vegetation On Slows AI soldiers the same way. Server/host setting.
Slowdown strength 1 How strong the slowdown is. 0 turns it off, 1 is full strength. Server/host setting.

Performance

Setting Default What it does
Player check interval (s) 0.25 How often you are checked for vegetation. Higher is lighter on performance.

Setting Default What it does
Reaction Speed Multiplier 1.25 How fast AI react/animate compared to vanilla (1.0 = vanilla, 2.0 = superhuman). Can take up to 15 seconds to apply. Player animation speed is untouched.

TF999 - Tools Interactions

Each checkbox hides one entry from the vanilla scroll-wheel action menu when checked. All default to unchecked (action stays visible). Most need a game restart to apply, since they change how a menu entry is shown, not something checked live. A few (marked below) only appear in this menu when the matching ACE module isn't loaded, since ACE already manages that action itself.

TF999 Zeus Widgets

3D move/rotate gizmos and auto-cleanup modules for Zeus (from [1TRP] Zeus Widgets). The gizmos themselves use fixed Zeus-display keys (Ctrl+T on/off, and others listed under keybinds), not Addon Options.

Setting Default What it does
Unconscious UI All Units Which ACE-unconscious units Zeus sees in the 3D overlay. The HUD list always shows unconscious players when this is not Disabled.

Zeus Additions (extended Zeus toolset)

A large set of Zeus curator tools and modules (ACE heal/damage/mass-surrender/capture actions, draw-to-build, scatter-teleport, a big misc toolbox, garrison/breach/paradrop/suicide-bomber/car-bomb/drag-body/dust-storm modules, and Zeus target-engagement filters). All of it is used from the Zeus module tree or right-click context menu in-game, not Addon Options — a handful of Addon Options settings only cover secondary defaults (garrison destruction behaviour, resupply crate contents, etc).


EVEN Better Inventory (EBI)

A reworked inventory screen (gear/container/panel layout, sizing, and offsets), a magazine repacking helper, an experimental on-sling weapon swap, and a soldier loadout preview (STASH). Most of these are visual/layout tuning — enable/disable toggles, sliders for panel/slot positions and sizes, UI scale, and preview camera behavior. Compatibility patches for ACE, ACRE2, and Backpack on Chest load automatically when those mods are present; no options of their own.


Ace Advanced Fatigue

Fine-tunes how fast ACE's advanced fatigue drains in different stances and situations — all as multipliers on the normal drain rate, higher number means the drain is slowed down more.

Setting Default What it does
Default duty factor 1 Base stamina drain multiplier while standing/moving normally.
Crouching duty factor 1 Stamina drain multiplier while crouched.
Prone duty factor 1 Stamina drain multiplier while prone.
Weapon raised duty factor 1 Stamina drain multiplier while your weapon is up (low ready).
Aiming down sights duty factor 1 Stamina drain multiplier while aiming down sights.
ADS + tactical pace (Ctrl) duty factor 1 Extra drain on top of the setting above while you're moving at the slow, careful pace (holding Ctrl) with your weapon aimed in — steadying your aim while carefully moving is more tiring than aiming while standing still.
Weapon handling drain scale 1 How much a heavy/awkward weapon adds on top of the settings above — holding a big machine gun up or aimed in tires you out faster than holding a pistol. Set to 0 to ignore weapon weight entirely.
Swimming / Diving duty factor 1 Stamina drain multiplier while swimming/diving.
(Sprinting versions of all of the above) 1 Same idea, but only applied while actually sprinting.
Weapon-raised-sprinting compensation On If on, sprinting with your weapon up skips the extra "weapon raised" drain (you're already sprinting, no double penalty).
Muscle damage factor 1 How much sustained heavy exertion damages your muscles over time. 0 disables it.
AE1 / AE2 / AN Reserve recovery factor 1 How fast your different stamina "reserves" refill between exertion. Set below 0 to keep a reserve always full.
AN Fatigue factor 1 Long-term fatigue buildup from repeated exertion. 0 disables it.
Alternative Running / AVS duty factors 1 Only shown if you're also running the Alternative Running or Advanced Vault System mods — same idea, applied to their specific movement animations.

Setting Default What it does

TF999 Zeus / Metis Modules

Setting Default What it does
Show unconscious icon On While in Zeus, draws an icon and line over any ACE-unconscious player so you can spot them at a glance.
Unconscious icon color Red Color of that icon.

Tips

  • Jabal al-Halal (North Sinai map) has no Addon Options.
  • Environment lighting (overhauled outdoor light and skies, including Jabal al-Halal and Shedawn Island Base) has no Addon Options.
  • The extra white smoke grenades (M19 impact-fuse and M83A long-burn) have no Addon Options — they are just extra throwables in the arsenal.
  • Client-only options (walk speed, sounds, NVG color) you can set for yourself. Mission/server options (AI skill, weather, lock chance) may be locked by the host.
  • If a slider has min–max in the menu, the number in Default is the stock middle value, not the maximum.
  • Per-emote and per-sling boxes exist so you can disable one animation or tweak one sling without turning the whole system off.
