babies havin rabies posted:I've never played ACE, but it really puts you at walking speed for carrying an AT kit? Do the mod's creators realize that an AT4 weighs like 15 lbs? Do they realize that a soldier with average conditioning can jog a few miles with full gear with little effort? You can carry an M16, ~10-12 mags of ammunition for it, AT4, 3 grenades, basic navigation stuff, all while coming under the magical 30 KG barrier in ACE, which lets you run for extended periods of time without issue. The SMAW on the other hand, is much heavier, and each missile also weighs several kilograms, making it so you can only carry about 4 missiles between a 2 man AT team after you factor in an M4 and some ammo, but I don't see the issue with that. The SMAW can take out or at least disable any of the MBT's in Arma 2, and is highly accurate due to the ballistically matched spotting rifle and zero-able scoped optics. The AT4 can do the same to any APC/medium armor, and several can take out a MBT. Really, it's perfectly fine, it's just the default loadouts for soldiers tend to be on the heavier side anyways. One issue, that's easily solved, however, is that AR's and machinegunners are given an item at the start of the mission called the spare barrel bag. The idea is is that you have to change the barrel on the machineguns after excessive shooting. The thing weighs like 5 god drat KG. In practice, you'll die before you ever get to that point, so just drop the drat thing. If you do, a SAW or RPK-74 gunner can carry several hundred rounds of ammunition and still come under 30 kg. Also satchel charges are loving heavy as hell too, like somewhere around 5 kg. Give the things to some dude who's only a riflemen or grenadier or something, as they have the weight to spare. TL;DR Don't load up on explosives and drop your spare barrel bags in ACE. Also, jog, don't sprint, gently caress.

Eventually it crashed when I tried to loot a body that had since dissolved into the ground after I opened its gear menu  Wasteland with bulletproof vehicles everywhere just isn't wasteland yet, anyway. I assume Ifrits spawning will eventually be a special event. What are the vents on their backs that connect to their helmets with tubes? Is that in-helmet climate control? babies havin rabies fucked around with this message at 17:34 on Mar 7, 2013 |

Is there something more to wasteland than just wandering around for minutes at a time before getting shot at by someone you can't see? I find that sort of whole-island TDM gameplay to just be tedious as hell.

It comes into it's own when you have a squad of you communicating with each other, then you can attack the objectives and run into other squads doing the same and have good fire fights.

There's really nothing better than building a roadblock along the coast road and ambushing enemy vehicles with 3 or 4 buddies. Then you take their vehicle and add it to the roadblock

I played some tonight and got shot at while navigating the inventory system. Getting some major Delta Force Land Warrior vibes from this game. It's nice to have a sunny environment that isn't desert or eastern europe.

Yeah wasteland seemed to be pretty disastrous for me. Saying that all the servers currently feel a little choppy. As long as its a reported bug. Guess I'll go play with the editor instead!

More than anything it depends on the hosts computer. Since most people are running either the server from in game, or running it from a "dedicated" server on the same computer as they are playing on, the server (hosts) fps is bound to be poo poo. It'll be a lot better when a proper dedicated server exe is released. The telltale sign of this is that changing settings do nothing.

I've noticed massive lag spikes and teleporting when riding along as the gunner in one of those jeep thingies (lfrits?) in multiplayer. The little thermal scope MFD in front of you that actually updates as you spin the turret around is pretty neato though! Also, are the lfrits with the .50s supposed to only have like 100 rounds in the gun? I was trying to use one to shoot down a helicopter, expecting at least a couple of belts' worth of ammo like most vehicle guns in ArmA, but ran out before I even got it to smoke. Finally, are there any guided AT rockets in the game yet? I was trying to get a lock using the one that looks kind of like a javelin or a dragon but couldn't get it to target anything.

Okay, so correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm trying to learn my way around the editor, and apparently if I want to add the ability to respawn I have to stop what I'm doing, save, quit out, make a text file in the map folder, fill it with code, re-open, and hope I coded it right?  Is there a way to do it in the init that's in-editor? That seems crazy convoluted, but also very Arma-like.

Don't know if it was the difficulty level but the NLAW at least locked for me or I had the luckiest goddamn shot ever hitting an iranian spacejeep at over half a kilometer. Also, the newest shooting stance is the best thing ever:

You can write the script files in the mission folder while the editor is running, you might just have to save and reload the mission to get it to recognize it. Just don't edit the mission file itself while the mission is open in the editor.

How do you add Arma 2 stuff in the editor? I've made a @arma2 folder with all of the addons but in Arma 3 editor I can't find any of the A2 stuff. Also tried starting with launch option ;-mod=@arma2 but don't think that works. Want to try some of the vanilla guns out. NVM figured it out. Don't put A2 addons in A3 addon folder. Make it in the A3's directory like this Whereyoursteaminstallis/Arma3/@Arma2/Addons. Launch with the options above and enable it in expansions. This should be fun.

I am really liking the idea of these new modular weapon mod systems. If it's really just a few lines of code and geometry adjusting, as it appears to be, to get a custom weapon to accept mods...well let's say I can't wait for my laser-sighted thermal-scoped grenade-launchered solid gold AKM
