Hell in the Pacific 0.5 beta release

[daoarge 203]

And second, I just wanted to ask if you installed that sound- mod for HiP on the server by now??

As I said to Petersen before, the DaOarges- server kicked me right away because of corrupted data when having it turned on.

I just uploaded the key to the server, sorry it took a bit.

Please let me know, if you still experience troubles!

I'm in! I love that mission, tired of playing by myself though :P

Cool, any specific slot you want to play?

Quick question: Would it be possible to put in a Japanese transport plane?

Do you mean for supply drops?

But you need to talk to Foxy, as this is his mission.

[AShaw 1]

I mean just in general, so you have the C47 Douglas for the US but nothing for the Japanese. A plan that can land with a squad in it or a parachute out of etc.

[Foxy 1]

There will eventually be a Japanese transport plane.

[mr pedersen 41]

If any one have nothing to do, Im on our server playing a new mission on Guadalacanal island.

Join me?

[megusta90 10]

Is there any better DL links? The 2 Armaholic ones are horrid, they can't even get 500kb/s

[Foxy 1]

The mod is also available from Six Updater/Play With Six.

Hi! First of all congratulations for your Nice mod, it´s a pretty good work. I ve read the old topic on the section WIP and checked the forum but wasn.t able to find the further information: is There a way to use together SLX and HIP? I saw some videos where the Guy sais he was using slx with your mod, but can't find the way to use them tgther. I'm sorry if u already gave an Answer to That question.

Thank you

Play H.I.P. withSIX launcher;

a mini bootstrapper to install pre-requisites, Play withSIX (launcher, updater and serverbrowser), and launch it specialized to Hell in the Pacific.

Thanks! The team always appreciate some nice feedback. HIP is still only a baby too.... lots more stuff to come in the future!

is There a way to use together SLX and HIP?

I've never used SLX myself, but as far as I am aware its just a case of running the mod along with HIP. Let us know if you don't know how to do that and we will try and help you get it working.

You welcome! Well i saw that the mod si running during the game but all the features are unavailable to use whatever the unit you are playing with (vanilla or HIP) but i can see the @slx on main menu. Maybe i just did something wrong but i try to don't add/ change too much things inside mods folders since all that pbo/hpp stuff is incomprehensible language to me :( By the way thank you for your help, HIP si may a baby, but a promising one :)

[dragon01 902]

Are there any SP missions for this mod?

[S. Larson 10]

Good job gentlemen, was apart of a small H.I.P. Unit and loved the mod, keep up the good work!

[tom3kb 15]

@Dragon01

There are few SP missions in HIP mission pack, you can also try to play coop missions from this pack in SP.

I also host all of the HIP missions on my site:

My site hosts all missions for I44, Iron Front and HIP mods, and more WW2 mods I will host missions

for in the future when they release ;)

Supporting the WW2 Mod community mission's since October 2012!

Must say 'Armaholic' for downloading mod/addons is very quick and easy, never had a problem. Well so far, only had around, well hundreds, of mod/addons from them.;).

I have no issues with it, download comes up right away, maybe your internet connection/speed is giving you issues MeGusta90.

I love that little Japanese Tankette!

[SnakeTheFox 1]

There seems to be a conflict with your mod and ASR AI. Whenever I play the two together I'm bombarded with hundreds of error messages which state: "Error in expression <_dangerCausedBy call asr_ai_main_fnc_isUnc>

Error position: <asr_ai_main_fnc_isUnc>

Error Undefined variable in expression: asr_ai_main_fnc_isUnc"

A guess at what the conflict is? Does your mod alter AI in a way that would make it incompatible with mods like ASR AI? ASR AI runs fine with most of my other mods like I44 and ACE.

Anyway, the models, sounds, and textures of this mod all seem very amazing and well-crafted from what I've seen so far, but ArmA 2 has always struggled with incredibly inane and stupid AI (as a consequence of its scale); after experienced the game-changing glory which is ASR AI, I have trouble playing ArmA 2 (vanilla or otherwise) against bots without this enabled. It just makes them so much more human-like. So any help is truly appreciated.

I believe I'm right in saying that during some of our pre-release testing sessions with FHW clan (:notworthy:), they ran ASR AI along with HIP with no problems. I'm not 100% on that and I appreciate it doesn't actually help you at all, other than to say it shouldn't conflict with HIP. Perhaps Dimitri will check the forum soon, as he will be able to confirm this was or wasn't the case.

And thanks for your kind comments, the team work really hard to produce the kind of quality that they do and we have also recruited some new talent relatively recently... to quote Babylon at their quality of work "OMFG!!!!".

[dimitri_harkov 10]

Thank you SnakeTheFox for your nice comments :)

As Foxy already pointed out, we had no problem with the HIP - ASR_AI combo during our tests.

Indeed, I took the greatest care to ensure compatibility wherever possible, because I'm a great fan of ASR_AI too.

Still, HIP as a team can not gurantee that HIP runs with any 3rd party mods, as we can not control their development.

However, I just had a short firefight with ASR_AI enabled and it seems it runs as flawless as ever :)

Here are my ASR_AI settings I use for most missions, maybe they are of use for you. I have turned off/tweaked some things where I was not sure if they might cause trouble:

[fkymplbo 5]

Just wonder if there is any further release or patch for Arma2? So far, playing the Mod has really been a thrilling experience. I like those soldiers and variations of wepon.

By way, is it possible to make some Jap soldiers in the war in China?

[dimitri_harkov 10]

Great that you enjoy the mod :)

No, there will be no more releases for ArmA 2.

There had been some plans for the second sino-japanese war, but nothing has come of it (yet?).

Cheers,

D.
