Chillyrabbit posted:I was just looking at some of shacktac mods since I figured they would be cool. We had it, but ACE added the same feature a couple of patches ago which caused the maps brightness to change a bit too much. Even if I think I preferred the ST one over the ACE one. Less neon puke green when you have night vision on.

Would there possibly be any interest in us trying out either the Project 85 or Cold War Rearmed mods? CWA does have the bonus of having a bunch of missions to it. Of course none of them allow ACE which is a bit of a niggle.

VanOwen posted:You guys need to record some more videos. I sorta lost the urge to stream when I discovered twitch had deleted all the stuff for the past few months due to their changes to archiving. That and we honestly didn't have that many great sessions either. Also I think the Teamspeak server just went poof. Good thing it was just me and Duckfoot waiting in the channel.

In hindsight I regret not having OBS run when we did the british mission last weekend as it was pretty much a near perfect run of a mission that we've had in ages and I think that would've been great to show off instead of just silly mishaps. Edit, and then there is sessions like today that reminds why I don't bother recording.

Elth posted:Well, I always wanted to try ACE and I'm tired of waiting for an Arma3 version. I have a few questions though. 13:00 PST for Saturday sessions, somewhere around 8 or 9 the same time zone for Wednesday sessions. Check with the timekeeper for more exact info. As for how long we tend to play it really depends on the willpower of the people playing (and the mission quality) sometimes we can keep going for six+ hours, other times it's somewhere between four or five hours.

Sloane posted:One thing a lot of people don't seem to know is that tree branches will stop both thrown grenades and underslung grenade launcher rounds which often means shrapnel raining down on teammates. Which is what started Chillyrabbit's infamous run with grenades. So far he has managed to cause more damage to his own team than the enemy with shrapnel. Also I have nothing against parachutes.  I'm just generally bad at judging the correct time to pull the cord. The few times we've had parachute missions. We should also get more missions where we fast rope. Or just use fast rope a lot more often instead of landing.

Also, BIS still has a 80% off Sale on Arma 2 so if you want non-blurry PMC and Brits I suggest now is the time to get them. The fact that some of those weapon still suck can't be fixed though. But they'll look good.

For shits and giggles I might just download CWR2 and see if I can't fix up that mission up Arma 2 standards. Shouldn't be that hard. Dr Snofeld posted:ShackTac videos like the one from the LP piqued my interest in Arma 2 - which I got a while back with the intention of playing DayZ - but after futzing around with the Armoury for a while I think my competence in milsims is slim to none. Unless people make training missions or anything like that, I'll have to content myself with watching videos. I hope you guys record. As mentioned before I did have a stream running for all our sessions and I have a YT Channel collecting most of the videos that we've made of various things that has happened. But then I lost a whole bunch of sessions worth of material due to twitch archive settings and I stopped bothering. Should probably try to restart that again now that we've gotten into a decent run of things. Shame about the quality really but my machine can't really handle streaming it at 720p nor record with MSI afterburner and play at the same time.

VanOwen posted:Worst tour bus ever. That was like the second of three buses filled with Insurgents that drove up to the Roadblock within a few minutes time. First one I managed to set on fire with three pretty decently thrown hand grenades while trying to frag the passengers. That's the one on the left side of the road. The second one I blew up with a satchel, but it must've been loaded with something else because I had a massive second detonation that knocked me into unconsciousness for a minute or so and then I woke up to that. I think I dropped some artillery the third one or something because I heard a second large detonation at some point after that and you can see the wreck on the second picture just a bit off to the left in the distance. What I did discover was that the MCC Laser guided artillery is great and hits spot on the laser pretty much regardless of where you click on the map, and the Vector is actually a laser designator as well. Also that Caribou comes with it's own music, one track being titled Poltergeist Attack. Now if only the Random combat module would work as it should on that mission.

They have scripted arty drop which pops tires on the bus and leaves dead GIs (and bloodsuckers) We really do need more missions with Bloodsuckers. I mean god knows what kind of crazy stuff we might actually have in all those Namalsk files.

So after having yet another Roadblock session, this time with the original version where nothing seems to really happen I threw together a "fixed" version of the 10 man one with all the original Roadblock scripts since they were completely missing from that file. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/29015696/co10_roadblockduty_ace_v14_jip.Takistan.pbo Maybe that will fix the mission and make it a bit more interesting again. I have no goddamn clue. v vAlso today I discovered one of the more important admin commands by pure accident. Cooked Auto fucked around with this message at 05:51 on Dec 15, 2013 |

So apparently there is a community driven project to upgrade A2+OA+DLC assets up to A3. How far this will actually go remains to be seen. But someone has already started work on both the C-130 and the MV-22.  Also the AllinArma issue tracker is kinda hilarious to read. Good news, I found that I do have some recordings of when Roadblock was extra weird. Not when it was THE weirdest but pretty weird.  Edit 2: In other news, JSRS 2.0 has been released for Arma3.

Well I'm sure we'd have a bit more interesting time if Roadblock hadn't decided to once more be boring as all hell and then decide that it didn't even want to spawn in new cars after a while. So after a while it just ended up with us using MCC to make it interesting.

Elth posted:By "interesting" he means "airdrop tons of mines and then spawn dozens of mechanized infantry" Weeeell the mines was me and the mechanized infantry was Brainbot. I didn't even think the mines were released because I didn't hear anything until I checked the place later. But by that point no civilian car had spawned into the area for 30 to 60 minutes anyway so the only thing that got smoked by those were the convoys I spawned in later.

Once I get off work on friday I going to try my hardest to get the single Roadblock video that I managed to save from my twitch stream up on youtube just to show how it can actually be at times. Same goes with the material for last weekend. Thankfully I noticed it wasn't as much of a bitch to deal with since it wasn't split in two halves. See it a possible early Christmas gift.

I bring gifts. Gifts in shape of a lot of videos. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pT_MppVe4o4&hd=1 First up, here is the Roadblock video as promised. Still miffed that I couldn't save the bloodsucker attacks at a later session. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKXTq1PIwjo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCZn9fKUwM8 And here's two from the Desert Heat mission. I uploaded the first one just because I liked the small talk. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsdOgqIJASc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0bqY9A_QyU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37NFzyzQkqU Here's some highlights from the Call of Vorkuta mission. Really wish I could've made it into one video but as I've mentioned before, editing flvs is a pain in the rear end so I have to use a different way of getting the videos. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJWKr5cSCJM And finally we have a first in a (more or less) complete mission run of El Presidente. At first I wanted to just show the intro part but then I realized I might as well just upload the entire thing.

Nah, We didn't play that because the updated version hasn't been uploaded and we didn't want to break the server or the game for anyone unlike last time. What we did however have for our final session of 2013 was a Roadblock that actually kinda worked for a while like it should. Which was nice. It was also one of the longest we've had as well clocking in at slightly over 9 hours and with a rather consistent player number as well. I might put up some videos later of at least one of the more successful missions we did as the rest was rather... meh at times.
