hcpookie 3770 Posted October 22, 2016 Status Report: Still Alive. Nothing dead. Limping along slowly due to real life. Changing circumstances. Work Commitments. Women - Psychotic kind. Alcohol. Lots and lots more Alcohol ...and vinyl silk emulsion paint. Soooooo much fecking paint. Message Ends. ARE WE THERE YET lol "psychotic kind"... isn't that saying "women of the woman kind" lol (sorry that was just too good to pass on) Mass quantities of alcohol can cure many things :P No one can reach that quality for a good Eurofighter THAN the one of Rock I never built my EF2000 to "compete" with Rock's work. His is much prettier. You're missing the point of my EF2000 mod. Apples != Oranges. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rksl-rock 1300 Posted October 22, 2016 I never built my EF2000 to "compete" with Rock's work. His is much prettier. You're missing the point of my EF2000 mod. Apples != Oranges. I don't make addons to compete. I make addons because I revel in making something accurate, detailed and 100% genuinely unique. It is about proving myself, but only to myself. Not to anyone else. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And no I'm not smiling or laughing. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rksl-rock 1300 Posted February 10, 2017 In reply to the now deleted comment; No "this isn't dead". I've chosen to be a bit quieter about what i'm doing because I seem to be getting shit no matter what i do. If i explain whats going on - "hes just bragging and teasing us...he'll never release anything." If I stay quiet - "RKSL is dead i told you he'd never release anything." Both of these just remove any motivation to do anything public again. And lets face it its not like you bought anything from me. You've never contributed to me and mine for the time we invested. So my own opinion/theory about whiners/whingers and abusive critics...you must have absolutely no life and probably very small genitalia to get so angry about a computer game mod. Just saying... The reality here can be represented by a quite simple formula: (Hours in the week) - (Work + Commute/Travel time + Social Life + Sleeping + Household chores) = Free Time. So we then need to factor in the the esoteric variable of Motivation. (Abuse / 2) * ((interest in ArmA3) / Fatigue)) = Motivation You can also express this another way: Abuse / (F@#%s given) = Motivation Combining the two derived values we come down to the simplified expression: Free time * Motivation = "Free Time to Mod" So the bottom line is When Free Time to Mod is a lower value, very little gets done. No amount of abuse and little dicked people screaming and making up BS stories and fantasies about what i am doing right now only will increase motivation for public releases. So in one last attempt at being open... Here is an honest statement of what i'm thinking right now. General Issues: Hold everything and release an RAF Faction? Then an Army Faction Then an RN Faction Or Release individual addons? Make everything and release a complete Mod Pack? Possible release in tiers? More on this as a blog post coming soon. Why don't beer bottles self replenish? Can I design a beer delivery system to my chair? Photoshop on my main system seems to be having a bit of a wobble and quits working at inconvenient times. I've learnt a tonne of new tricks and techniques which make some of the other models seem too complicated/ugly/clumsy. I really don't seem to be able to write some of the scripts I want to. Looking for other solutions soon. I'm spending a lot of time travelling and working again so baking textures on a Surface Pro4 isn't always practical. Technical Issues: Planes - I've run into a the issue of the upcoming planes DLC. I've been playing with the Dev build and I'm tempted to hold back until the DLC to release so i don't have to do everything twice. Helos & PhysX - I've ported all the helos into A3 now. Some with retractable landing gear seem to have an issue with placement in Eden. The wheels are retracted on placement so it takes damage instantly. I haven't found a solution yet. Hidden Selections/Texture swaps seem to work fine on the first or second lods then revert to what ever the base colour is... on the upside I might have accidentally found a way to make adaptive camouflage...:P Testing - My own Dedicated server isn't really up tot he task or testing for large numbers. need to address that too. And finally because I believe that if you cant change someone's perception of you by explanation you should just treat them exactly how they expect you too. Here is the prebake model for the HAM aka MAN Trucks I've been working on since i got back from the UAE this earlier week. So is RKSL dead? No. Is Rock motivated? To make things I want to make and how & when I want to make them? Then Yes. Does Rock care about the petty abuse/insults/demands/lies/BS being spread by certain people in the ArmA3 community? F@#k no, but I am tired of hearing about it. Are we all Happy now? :) 31 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wordy-uksf 38 Posted February 11, 2017 Quote Hold everything and release an RAF Faction? Then an Army Faction Then an RN Faction This would allow you to release a addon and see how it performs overall. For example if the first addon that is released would be the RAF faction, that would most likely stop people crying and would give you the opportunity to work on other things in peace. Some bugs could be fixed along with other versions released. Quote Can I design a beer delivery system to my chair? Yes, as long as you're an engineer. :) Quote I really don't seem to be able to write some of the scripts I want to. Looking for other solutions soon. I remember you mentioning you don't like to use other's people stuff or anything like that. But there are some cool people out there with some interesting scripts that might be answer to your issues. Quote Planes - I've run into a the issue of the upcoming planes DLC. I've been playing with the Dev build and I'm tempted to hold back until the DLC to release so i don't have to do everything twice. Yes this sounds like a good idea, its not far away and it brings few new things to the table. Quote Testing - My own Dedicated server isn't really up tot he task or testing for large numbers. need to address that too. This could be arranged. Check private inbox. Overall its really nice to hear from you. Keep doing what you do best. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whatever's easier for you to maintain post-release in the event of inevitable stupid bugs that the community will find like if you land it on a billboard into a weasterly wind under moonlight then the helicopters blades fall off.

Kinda always wondered if it's practical to do that sort of stuff wireless yet on a home workstation and using the Pro 4 for the non-automated parts, so far I haven't looked into it but it should be theoretically possible... as long as you're not on a network charging $400 per megabyte like BA or Singapore Airlines.

YanYatCheng 96 Posted March 12, 2017 When I force feed ArmA3 with your ArmA2 version of EF-2000, I felt in love with that jet, the model have been done perfectly, it beats all the jets in ArmA3 on cockpit model and also HUD (most accurate ILS system). but sadly some physics are kinda wired and every time I try to taxi and land and the jet just turn "top-gun" to "initial-D" XD I am looking forward for the release, good luck!

reconteam 19 Posted March 12, 2017 Rock I can't wait to see your work fully in ArmA3. I'm really looking forward to your F-35 too but I presume that is on the back-burner? I forget, did you start working on the F-35C because for a short time the Royal Navy was considering it in place of the F-35B or was it some other reason?

I forget, did you start working on the F-35C because for a short time the Royal Navy was considering it in place of the F-35B or was it some other reason? Yup the F-35C is on very slow burn. But its not dead. I might just jump into an Alternate reality where the British Government saw sense and didn't bow to their US wannabe Overlords. There was some serious polical pressure to stay with the F-35B. Economy of scale came into play. By removing the british order fo the 'B' the cost of the USMC's aircraft went up 30-40% making it too expensive to buy the numbers they wanted. While the F-35C cost became lower again and the US navy and the UK would have got a better deal. But the USMC lobby was too strong and the UK government after 4 or so months caved in and back to 'B' we went. The Royal Navy apparently wanted the F-35C all along (according to some) but the MoD/Government at the time decided that the F-35B was the best to replace the Harriers. Which does make some sense although the STOVL features only really come into their own on short decks. Which means "We" (ie Britain/Royal Navy) would be relegated to an extension of the USMC (as per US War doctrine ). So no deck sharing withthe USN, France etc. Just the USMC and possibly the Italians...maybe. Anyway, yes. The C is in storage. The B is in the paintshop and waiting to see what the Jets DLC brings. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
