AZCoder 921 Posted May 15, 2020 I just wanted to make sure anyone reading here has seen Ghosts I know at least a couple of you did. I got to playtest this campaign and it is real solid, extensive voice acting, an intriguing story, well worth your time. 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZCoder 921 Posted June 8, 2020 I found a weird bug on Livonia. The problem is that when an AI dies in the big hangar at the airfield, they fall through the floor. Using debug I was able to determine that they were still there, so I did an experiment of raising a body up 1 meter and here is the result. Is this a known issue? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EO 11277 Posted June 10, 2020 Hey bro, tried to simulate your issue at the exact same spot in your video...couldn't replicate it, bodies don't disappear.....however, If the building takes damage then they do fall through the floor. I ran a little test after catching the last few seconds of your test video, I noticed there was a wrecked vehicle and some fallen walls just outside the right hand side window, so maybe the building had taken some damage when you ran your test, It's possible this is a bug that's went unnoticed by the developers... 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fantastic! I'm sure the building is damaged, lots of things happening inside and around it. Maybe I can grab the building object and make it invincible. Thanks for looking into it! OK so I have it figured out. The problem occurs only when the damage to the hangar is 100%. There's a certain something that keeps exploding in the hangar in my mission (not on purpose) and causes 100% damage, BUT there's no damage model for the hangar! I didn't know the hangar was being "destroyed." Glad that mystery is solved, thanks EO. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZCoder 921 Posted June 18, 2020 Just a little update. I have had a series of challenges with trying out different maps for one of the major sections of the campaign and run into different problems with each. For example, the most recent work has been on Livonia, but FPS is generally poor on that map, especially with 80+ groups operating. Throw in some weather and dawn lighting and my FPS is 12 to 16 in some areas. I was trying out Livonia because Contact also has the CBRN equipment that I need. An old (unsupported) CBRN mod I was using got wrecked by a recent Arma 3 patch. Before Livonia I was using Beketov. The only issue I ran into there came from the fences. Everything is fenced in on that map LOL. However I wrote a script that solves the problem with fences, so maybe I will return to that map instead of using Livonia. Other than that, things are going well. I have 10 solid missions completed and a few more to go. Keep in mind some of the screen shots posted are all from development and can change / have changed over time. Don't worry, the beach party is solid and won't change. Drinks on the house. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phew... for a minute I thought you´d scrap that lovely beach party!

Let's face it, the audience will be confounded and disappointed if the question "How did they catch that tuna on the BBQ?" is left unanswered...lol. Maybe when the director's cut comes out in a few years... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I confuse the 2 countries. I'd comment on that last part, but hmmm, spoilers and all. However I can say there are a couple of major choices the player can make that will determine which of 3 endings you can get. Also I appreciate the compliment. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also I appreciate the compliment. MULTIPLE ENDINGS?!!!!! Lovely 8D I´ve loved that Ghosts (influenced by your work) had 2 possible endings (MERCS too has 6 or 7), so Dark Tides is already on the Pantheon of Unforgetable Epic ArmA3 Campaigns (beforehand lol) I praise all my missionmaker´s idols cus you guys keep this engine running, the least we can do is keep your creative minds motivated, lol 😃 Cheers and keep up the great work 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZCoder 921 Posted September 27, 2020 It's Fall already? What a busy Summer. Sorry, things got delayed. After 7 years in WA state, I went back to Arizona and bought a new home. My online name has meaning again, LOL. Now that moving and all that busy work is out of the way, I'm going to pick up where I left off and get going on the campaign testing again. We'll get this done sooner or later. 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
