I also have had CTD several times after 1.4!

Never had this before!

[Dwarden 1125]

another CTD (was sitting in gunner tower of stryker and AFK from keyboard, when i returned ... i saw arma crashed)

both CTD are wth 1.4c

[KilJoy -SFG- 0]

was this after a server crash control?

Strange messege about pilot gear there i never seen that one before but i think the last line is the critical one for client crashes.

[CuteQA 0]

Has anyone experianced the bug which player suddenly be teleported to far sea while in vehicle?

[KilJoy -SFG- 0]

I think someone mentioned it before, it has never happened to me tho

[Control 0]

Sorry KilJoy, I just don't know but I'll set up the server playing 1.4c again now. And I'll be sure to give you the next one with a desciption of what happended at the time.

another bug AI squads are spawning out of nowhere WHILE you are looking at that place ...

it's quite strange when u drive e.g. apc and all of sudden 50-100m infront of You spawn squad of 8 enemies ...

you get hit by RPG before realizing wth is going on ...

it's spawn, i experienced this multiple times (even on foots) ...

i hope it can be done that AI squads spawn only if they not within Line of Sight from player ...

Has anyone experianced the bug which player suddenly be teleported to far sea while in vehicle?

Yes, several times. Seems to happen mostly while flying.

We've just started testing the 1.4c and cant clear the first town. AI's are spawing into town and cant seem to cut their numbers down before they all respawn again.

[Jack-UK 0]

Cute i think that is a BIS bug rather than an Evolution bug... im pretty sure i heard someone talk about it in a server playing a differnet map before.. its strange...

never happened to me though...

also the north sea in Arma used to mysteriously kill people

[-J4F-Thunder666 0]

Whats up ?

V1.4c The S&R Mission where the Pilot is at the NE of the Island cant be completed. The Locating Point of the missing Pilot is in the Ocean !

Then i have choose the other S&R Mission for 20 Points,after extraction the Pilot at Evac Point i become only 10 Points

Thunder

[KilJoy -SFG- 0]

I know the bury problem Dwarden its ok. Seems there is a problem with csar 20 , ill check it out. if it shows you the far bottom left hand corner of the map in the sea, abandon the mission and do somthing else. funny thing is it works sometimes.

[Red Devil 0]

both my CTD today have been while looking at large groups of SLA.

also had some heavy lag whenever the rain hit, after that I was dodging the rain clouds from fear of lag rather than getting wet.

also I started the ambush mission and the convoy started near pita!!

might be a good idea to remove a point or 2 everytime you die, otherwise medics are worthless, just respawn if your lost, injured or out of ammo and your back at base ready to go again.

[Dwarden 1125]

i got idea about farps ...

would be possible to made automaed AI taxi (littlebird) which ping pong between airfield and each farp

after area around farps is AA secured ?

if such AI helicopter gets shoot down then it will reinit after 10 minutes

OH well die ctd die

[KilJoy -SFG- 0]

I have released version 1.4d and you can get it from the first post.

The penalty is added to prevent the kamikaze move. I would be interested to know if anyone experiences client crashes with this version.

Dwarden sounds like a nice idea. But I think there would have to be more vehicles at the farps.

Red Devil im not entirly convinced the weather causes any lagg, i havent noticed red chain when it rains. For the most part its a vary client sided affair. The only thing that is happining serverside is a trigger is moving, you create the rain effect on your client if your in the trigger area.

I would bet all the trucks will be taken away from FARP after while.

simple solution ...

add to each farp 3 trucks (for supply,fuel,ammo) which are static (locked) ...

again to prevent TK destruction , respawn time 5-10m on each...

or even simpler ... add to FARP repair/reload/refuel pod ...

again works only if area around is safe ...

[USAV005 0]

Another option would be to make a "repair/refuel" chopper.  With this you could fly to a downed unit and get it to whatever the minimum running specs are... then the downed unit could be driven/flown to a FARP for full repairs.

This would add the realism of having to watch assets without the trouble in convoying trucks across the map to recover vehicles others have crashed and left behind.. especially frustrating since the missions typically run for 15 hours or more with small groups.

Great suggestion. I am a former helicopter pilot and I play on a mp server with former/current serving pilots too and the one thing we ask for is a "fat cow" (CH-47 with fuel bladders).

So would it be possible to have a UH-60 with refuel/repair capabilities?

Thanks for a great MP mission, we think youv'e done an outstanding job.

[KilJoy -SFG- 0]

USAV005 I like the idea, and with what look like fuel pods on the uh60 ffar wouldn't be to unrealistic. But my only concern would be how this system would work. if you are pilot you would have to land close and switch to driver of the broken vehicle? its hard to get close to anything in a uh60 in arma. could you hover an empty vehicle and it is repaired with no one in it? if 2 people are involved one driver of stricken vehicle and one chopper pilot , who should get the repair points as there would be a reward for this action?

An idea that is going around in my head and others is the concept of a personal vehicle. this vehicle you could "requisition" for a cost to your score. you would have the ability to lock this vehicle and unlock it at will. The vehicle could be any type of west vehicle in the game already that your rank would permit you to drive. should the vehicle get lost in the battle you can retrieve it and repair it or order another one at a loss of points. possibility you could trade in your old vehicle to offset the cost of the new one. should the system be put in place you could ignore it totally as the default vehicle selection would remain. But should you gain rank to colonel and all cobras are lost at sea or lost in a danger zone for example you would have a second option. Id like to know what people think about that.

@Kiljoy

The pilot should get the points as it does require a little skill to hover so close to a vehicle. I've had to do it many times to rearm the AH-1 and UH-60 with guns. So it would take team work with at least two "cleaning up" the battlefield.

We help each other get points, so for us it wouldn't be an issue just who gets the points. The one who needs the points if often given the tasks that rack up the points...like gun position in AH-1  

Also if no points for a refuel/repair then we wouldn't bitch about that either, since we don't get points currently for that task anyway..do we? Could we?? Please?? That would make somebody VERY happy if we got points for a repair.

@Kiljoy

How about adding the UH-60 medevac that is on Armaholic? Not only can it heal the wounded but it also has fuel drop tanks. So it can also be used for refuel/repair.

That way our organization can get one step closer to the realism that we are looking for.

I would be willing to pay for a version modded for our organization if you don't like to implement 3rd party addons to your "public" version.

[insomnianshadow 0]

Seems to me that the 1.4d version again has the mission completion bug .. where it will reward you and say the mission is complete right after having accepted it.... At least that's what happened to me....

[=Grip= 0]

@ April 22 2007,00:51)]The penalty is added to prevent the kamikaze move.

Sofar in my testing with the penalty I find it hard to not consider any offensive moves to be "kamikazi" when the AI dishes out headshots from 500+ yards using AK iron sights.

I'm not sure if the penalty thing is a great idea at the moment

Just carry a few AI medics around in the blackhawk and you've got yourself a medevac bird
