Arma 3 Realistic Names [UPDATED]
This project aims to provide a small mod that changes the names of Weapons, Vehicles and Gear in Arma 3 to their real life names. Since this is a feature of ACE3 already, this mod makes use of it by simply stripping it out and distributing it standalone.

Getting started
This mod requires Arma 3 and the latest version of CBA A3.

Disclaimer
I am not the original author of this mod (blackfisch is). However, the Original RealisticNames mod by blackfisch is no longer being updated as the repository has been archived by the owner on Jul 3, 2022 and there still isn't an automated build system.
- https://github.com/blackfisch/Arma3-RealisticNames
So I've taken the reins where all future builds and additions to the mod will be done by me.

This project basically is a Standalone of the realisticnames module from ACE3.
Special Thanks to all ACE3 Contributors who made this project possible in the first place.

License
ACE3 is licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPLv2). This also applies to this project.
In accordance with the license, every modified file has a disclaimer added. The following files are an exact copy from ACE3 (addons/realisticnames) and are thus not containing a disclaimer:

- addons/bf_realisticnames/CfgWeapons.hpp
- addons/bf_realisticnames/CfgVehicles.hpp
- addons/bf_realisticnames/CfgMagazines.hpp

*All builds will be done manually by me (Marc) whenever the ace3team officially updates something related to the realisticnames module from Ace3.
- Updated (as of May 15, 2024):
- [CfgMagazines.hpp], unchanged
- [CfgVehicles.hpp], unchanged
- [CfgWeapons.hpp], => added missing M134 Minigun and new ace3 capitlization fixes
- [stringtable.xml], => added new translations and latest CUP compat fix

Notes:
- This mod also renames content in the following mods: JCA M320, Ravage, O&T Expansion, ANZACSAS Napalm and WP Smoke marker rockets, Arma 3 Aegis Collection, KapitanSWAT's Unused Content, Drongos Spooks and Anomalies, [CYTECH] Guns, Uniforms, and Vehicles
- Axle has already created Real Names mods for SOG Prairie Fire, Global Mobilization, and CSLA:

> Added Mod Compatibility for all AEGIS mods.
[Arma 3 Aegis, Aegis - Marines, Aegis - Police, Athena, Atlas, Atlas - Opposing Forces, Revolución] *Changed all their fictional 2035 naming for weapons, attachments, and vehicles to their real-life counterparts.
> Also added a compat patch for "Campaign Compatible ACE (works w Old Man too !)" since it still uses old ace realisticnames module. *Might be best to load this mod at the very bottom of the Arma 3 Launcher modlist so it doesn't get overwritten by anything.

This may also be the last update for a long time. Reaction Forces and Aegis might get updated when I get back from my hiatus. :jake::steamthumbsup:

Edit: Patch 6 Hotfix 1 (06/03/24):
- Renamed to change the "SPMG .338" turret mount for RF Pickup to "LWMMG".
