AZCoder 758 Posted April 5, 2019 Campaign #3 in the Gates of ARMAGeddon series Dark Tides is near completion. My expectation is early Feb 2021. I want to give special thanks to the following: @jakerod for allowing me to include Moschnyi and Miroslavl' @DNDSTUDIOS for extensive playtesting, voice overs, and encouragement @johnnyboy for his excellent voice work, immersive scripts, and feedback @aliascartoons for the fantastic water, fire, and nuclear scripts @EO for allowing me to include those awesome immersion mods for the weather and animals Many others contributed directly and indirectly and as always, the campaign will finish with a complete list of credits. Dark Tides is massive, divided into 3 parts (all included in one pbo). While the campaign mostly focuses on Lt "Knight" of SEAL Team 6 (introduced at the end of Gambit Royale), several missions follow Russian VDV Sgt Artyom Gerasimov, and also a few for the main antagonist Pytor 'Denmark' Tsarev. Dark Tides consists of 18 regular missions, plus 2 distinctly different possible endings, for a total of 20 missions. All required and optional addons with URLs are provided on my website: http://www.azcoder.com/#/campaign/DarkTides. I decided to remove the links here due to the spam protection, although that didn't help the moderator requirement when I update this post. Required DLCs: Contact DLC (Livonia and chemical warfare items) Apex (Tanoa) Not required, but recommend Laws of War due to numerous assets used Required Addons: CBA 3 CUP Terrains - Core, Maps, & CWA RHS AFRF, USAF, & GREF 3CB Factions PLP All In One MLO All-in-One Uniforms and Gear Namalsk Pecher Optional but highly recommended: L3-GPNVG18 (SEALs will use these if addon is loaded, would be crazy not to use this mod) Pook Soviet AF Pack (used to enhance airports in certain missions and scenes) Max Women (will appear in randomly generated civilian zones) 8 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZCoder 758 Posted May 5, 2019 Hey guys, I'm looking for a female voice actor that can do a Russian accent. Could someone help me on this, point me in the right direction maybe? I had one friend do it years ago but she's not really into recording stuff these days so I stopped asking her, haha. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Friend or EX-girlfriend.... either way, we totally understand the hardship The Female radio protocol on RHS was recorded by Zeelex, wasn´t it? I guess she can do a FPFRussian kinda russian accent for the Dark Tides means 😃 Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZCoder 758 Posted June 23, 2019 Hey everyone, I'm taking a break over the summer. I have a lot of things going on, nothing bad, just keeping me busy is all. I need a break anyway, but I'll still be around on the forums during this time. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZCoder 758 Posted October 15, 2019 4 months flew by. Guess I needed the break 😁 I'm starting to ease back into the campaign. Had to rebuild PC several weeks ago and just got Arma reconfigured. It seems Arma reads controllers by GUID and windows randomly assigns that so the saved configs are useless, and you have to manually bind custom keys and controllers again. I have a ton of custom bindings and now Arma is pestering me because my bindings don't match what it wants me to have. Sheesh. 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnnyboy 2765 Posted October 16, 2019 Welcome back dude! Arma is punishing you for leaving, she can be a vengeful mistress. Now that you are hailing from Bigfoot Country, I expect to see Bigfoot appear in one of your campaign missions. Now get to work sir! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZCoder 758 Posted November 3, 2019 An informal survey for you cool players out there. Do you have the Contact DLC? I really like the Livonia map and have debated using it, but I don't know how popular that DLC is. I have no interest in using aliens in my campaign, don't worry about that, just debating on the map. Please let me know. I don't want to require a DLC that will alienate my player base. Get it? 😄 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnnyboy 2765 Posted November 4, 2019 I've got Contact, FWIW. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corporal_lib[br] 353 Posted November 4, 2019 Me too, it seems Contact DLC, for the massive content it added, and the unique gameplay of the aliens comms etc, was kinda good sales hit for Bohemia, I vote for adding Contact as it is top notch 😃 I mean, Contact´s content (pun intended) as Livonia is a great map, kinda updated Cherno 😃 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HBAOplus 10 Posted November 4, 2019 Maybe the missions set in Livonia can be released independently as sp mission, like Red Vengeance? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EO 9782 Posted November 4, 2019 I wouldn't be disappointed if it was set on Livonia. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
