Although i downloaded the ArmA3 version of crCTI i never really played it.....until now. Just want to say thanks for an excellent and addictive conversion. We've been playing it on the server today for many hours, until we all got hungry. And we're playing it tomorrow as well. Keep up the good work as crCTI is a true gem! ;) Thanks to all the guys working on this or who have worked on this! ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gabberxxl 9 Posted February 20, 2015 It would be nice to have a Headless Client available... ;) And it would be even nicer if it would have a real impact on performance, instead of an esoteric effect, as it does have now.

This works in inverse as if you run AI only on server and enablesimulation false those on HC, FPS increases. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

icebreakr 3156 Posted February 28, 2015 Guys, glad to see crCTI alive. I miss OFP days, so... I'll release couple of smaller maps intended for this mode ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muecke 114 Posted March 1, 2015 Guys, glad to see crCTI alive. I miss OFP days, so... I'll release couple of smaller maps intended for this mode ;) Nice to hear that. crCTI was never dead. For most of the people crCTI is obviously to hard.:rolleyes: But if you are once climbed the mountain you will know why this was the most played mission in OFP. Size of maps does not matter much cause the A3 version of crCTI can deal with every size. You should pay most attention on roads as the ai movement has changed somehow. Panthera is looking awesome but the high mountains makes the ai stuck. They try to go the shortest ways. You can see at altis what BI did with hundred of smaller roads connected together, so the ai wont drive through woods or stuff like that. Dont need to be exactly same like this but paying attention on roads should be good. Cant wait to see your next islands done.:bounce3: Known islands ?

gabberxxl 9 Posted March 2, 2015 Regarding headless client: I've had some tests with becti and zorrobytes's HCCache script (http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?188760-ZBE_HCCache-Essential-for-Headless-Client-users/page2) and it showed some really good results. I think adding headless client capability is a necessary step for crCTI to increase performance. But it should not offload all AI to the HC but instead divide AI load between server and hc equally.

Yeah, as is said. Thinking about it since HCs came up. But this could mean some serious rewriting of stuff. Have to do some tests first, if i have the time.

ghostsweeper 10 Posted April 12, 2015 New Version: 1.18 r29 (17.3.2015) Hello, Is there any Archive of crCTI KB Edition?, I want to try an older version because I'm getting stuck at the Initializing Client screen with the latest two (r28 and r29). I only have a super old one, v1.17 r34. By the way, I'm playing on LAN+ACE. v1.17 r34 works fantastic but the newer versions fixes a lot of issues, the major one is "Force AI to fire on base buildings if able". Thanks in advance!

thhamm 53 Posted April 13, 2015 Hi there, Is there any Archive of crCTI KB Edition? Not yet, but i can arrange that for the future. I want to try an older version because I'm getting stuck at the Initializing Client screen with the latest two (r28 and r29). I only have a super old one, v1.17 r34. Damnit whats with JIP already. I can't pinpoint it. Some have Problems, i don't and our clan neither. Please send your RPTs, Server and client. You're sure its working with v1.17 r34? And always try without mods if it's working "vanilla". By the way, I'm playing on LAN+ACE. Sorry, hadn't time yet to try ACE, but how are you playing on LAN? Hosting on the Client? Same machine dedicated server? Separate machine? v1.17 r34 works fantastic but the newer versions fixes a lot of issues, the major one is "Force AI to fire on base buildings if able". If 1.18 r27 worked, i can upload it again. Though i haven't changed anything that *should* affect JIP. But please send your RPTs anyway. ---------- Post added at 07:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 PM ---------- Oh, are we talking about A3 here? :) ---------- Post added at 07:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:35 PM ---------- And did you change any game parameters? And if, how? (Like town distribution etc.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ghostsweeper 10 Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) Sorry for the delay, I tried it on another PC which is practically new, so I reinstalled everything there but no difference, even BattleEye. I launched the game with Steam, with a bat and with PlayWithSix but no difference. My conclusion is that it requires a Dedicated Server to be able to play the newer ones, I will try that tomorrow. Oh, are we talking about A3 here? :) ArmA 2 CO. I couldn't find any post related to crCTI KB on ArmA 2 section, so to avoid having many of them I posted this here. :P Sorry, hadn't time yet to try ACE I'm using the latest ACE+CBA versions: - @ACE v1.14.0.597 - @ACEX v1.14.0.372 - @ACE_RU v1.14.0.77 - @ACE_SM v1.14.0.107 - @ACE_USNavy v1.14.0.79 - @CBA_CO v1.0.1 Apparently this is the only bundle of ACE+CBA that doesn't bug the ammo on the tanks. And I only could download it through PlayWithSix. How are you playing on LAN? Hosting on the Client? Same machine dedicated server? Separate machine? You're sure its working with v1.17 r34? Same machine, no Dedicated Server, the 'v1.17 r34' worked fine that way. I found weird that this is happening with Warfare BE v2.071 as well (ACE only), all Islands except Zargabad, the only one that loads the ACE configurations (the splash screen when initializing). And did you change any game parameters? And if, how? I tried everything. From not touching a thing to lowering everything e bit, Etc. :P And always try without mods if it's working "vanilla" Also stuck on Initializing Client with the Vanilla KB (I've only tested Takistan), this seems to be the problem, it must need a DS. Not yet, but I can arrange that for the future If 1.18 r27 worked, i can upload it again That would be nice. I appreciate your concern about my problem, do not take it as a 'must to fix' since I only play this on solo :P, there are just a few people interested on playing crCTI on ArmA 2, which is almost impossible to do so because the Time Zones (and ping). I have you to thank you and the team for making this incredible CTI, and for keeping updating it. For me it is the best mission out there that have the OFP essence on it, too bad most people prefer to play DomiTrollation and Lagfare, they are missing so much. :) Edited April 14, 2015 by ghostsweeper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thhamm 53 Posted April 14, 2015 Ok, this is a bit odd. I tried r29 today with OA, the old 1.62 version, 1.63 "stable" and 1.63 "beta". I tried hosting directly via Multiplayer and launched the dedicated server on the same machine. No problems with JIP. :O But: I don't launch via steam and don't use playwithsix, just started the .exes So, send your .RPTs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
