Operation Honeyblade II

SBP Team (Slovenian Black Panthers) is organizing a CoOp event for all A3 players that would like to join: individuals or other teams are all welcome to sign up for the event.

1. What is the mission, storyline?
There is a report of a virus outbreak in a remote region of Vandalla island. Our unit that specializes in a bio-warfare has been activated. There is a rumor that local rebels might be in possession of a militarized bio-weapon that got stolen out of an undercover US research facility, so they are sending in the best team consisting of 6-30 men.
Last week we managed to overtake the airport in Bras and capture Bras key/strategic locations: Hotel, Police Station and Armybase. Local government in exile returned and are briefing us on the situation. Details follow in a day or two!

Vandalla is a smaller island neighbouring Isla Abramia, we will fly out of the main airport in Yolandi, Abramia. Takeoff is scheduled for Thursday 1915Z (2115 CET) so be there sharply on the hour - 15 minutes before the take off.



2. When do we play?
Thursday May 5 at:
8:00pm UK/Portugal/Ireland | 9:00pm CET (Germany/Czech Rep/Poland/Slovenia/Croatia/Italy/Austria etc.) |10:00pm Israel/Greece/Turkey | 11:00pm Moscow |3:00pm Eastern US

3. Addons needed, requirements?
- Original Arma 3 patched to 1.58 or latest stable patch + TeamSpeak3 Client for voice communication + microphone & headsets.
- PWS (PlayWithSix) Repository found here: pws://77.234.143.228/A3/config.yml (use different browser if yours doesn't open the link - copypaste the link to browser URL!)

So far there is confirmation of at least 7 SBP members attending the event.

[communisthamster 10]

I would like to join. I'm not currently with any clan or group.

[icebreakr 3159]

communisthamster: 7 posts in 6 years... damn, you have some self-control ;) you're in. Make sure you don't install addons on the last day, there's a lot of GBs.

So far: 8 players.

Thank you. You guys are added!

[communisthamster 10]

I am reasonably sure I have all the mods now, ideally I would connect to the server to test but I guess I'll have to wait for the login details to be sent out.

Below is how my Arma3 launcher looks if any help! This worked without issue last week with same mod set required.

[TheStainlessSteelRat 15]

I take we are using update 1.2 map tonight?

[Sahbazz 13]

TheStainlessSteelRat, you take correctly.

 

The server is updated and online, so you can try to connect to it, after you update the files in the repository.

 

If you experiance any problems with connection or anything else you can contact me via SBP public discord channel. ( invite link ---> https://discordapp.com/invite/0at5rHYr1sy2Mp8y )

[icebreakr 3159]

Here ya go: v1.22 is up & running on my website (see News). The latest and correct version for tonight Op. Honeyblade II is 1.22.

 

I'm updating PWS (Play WithSix) and Steam Workshop as I type this ;)

 

[icebreakr 3159]

Important: please remove @panthera_a3 folder for tonight as it f*cks up and removes the grass clutter. I also removed the key for Panthera so it is obligatory to remove it before join.

 

Try joining our server SBP Slovenia - use filter "sbp". It is already running (with abramia 1.22!) so you can check if it works for you. For password (it is the same for few weeks now) PM me. 

 

Join us in few hours at: ts.vojak.si - pass Pilatus where we will conduct a briefing.

 

 

p.s. be advised if you're stuck on the a3 logo screen (one of addons is causing that) just press ESC or ENTER to continue to the game.

[icebreakr 3159]

Play WithSix is again acting up and not updating / syncing to the latest version :/

 

Here's a link to the addon to install it manually:

Thanks again for hosting we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves outside of our Epoch bubble :P

[icebreakr 3159]

Too bad best missions start now ;) 8 of us remaining... approaching Mental Asylum under the cover of the fog ;)

[icebreakr 3159]

Thank you all for awesome event, too bad missions were very difficult (enemy skill set to 80% really makes the difference...) and we fought for each sector for quite some time. Never the less, great show. Here are the screenshots:
