Is it possible to split this download into, let's say 4 or 5 files, would be better for downloading, is way to big to download for some people in one time!

Best regards, Claymore.

EDIT- I re-read some of the posts, and before, I assumed some of you had the same problem as I had. When I tried installing XAM, the installer wouldn't show. Sorry if this doesn't solve your problem.

For those having problems with Vista, either be really patient, or turn off User Account Control.

It should be located somewhere in the accounts, or priledges section of the control panel.

I would actually like to see the Addon split into several small addons, which the player can pick which ones to activate.

Such as, A XAM Artillery Addon, a XAM uniform Addon, XAM sound addon, XAM mines addon, etc. It could all go in one mod folder, but then players could pick and choose what parts they wanted to activate.

i really want xam to install in my computer cuz if not im wasting 1.5 gb of hhd (hard drive)

[operation madman 0]

samehere and i have way tomunch addons still on my computer as well as mods

[stegman 3]

since trying to install i've noticed a change in the NV goggles.

It's way too dark. I put them on and get the bright flash, then it dies down to the normal brightness, but then gradually getts dimmer!

It may have nothing to do with XAM, but it's a hell of a cooincident.

There are a number of problems with XAM. I'll go through a few of them we found whilst playing on the dedicated. Playing on a user made map with the server running 1.08 with the mod enabled server side. No XAM addons/non BI weapons/vehicles etc anywhere in the mission files.

You can no longer put stock BI weapons and ammo (they end up on the floor around the crate) back into stock BI ammo crates while the server uses the XAM mod server side. Hence messing up every single user created mission ammo crates played on the server.

Clients that have the mod can place a claymore with stock BI infantry, whereas clients without the mod of course cant even see the placed claymore (since they dont have the textures etc, anything regarding the new weapons).

No name tags for players in mutiplayer, so you cant tell who the bloke is thats standing next to you. Nor can you tell who's flying/driving a vehicle by looking. Very, very inconvenient for admins amongst other things. Probably by design, but it subtracts from the gameplay greatly. Even if its in the name of realism.

Error msg's for "claymore's"/"bondmines"/"Telemeter" not found appear for people that don't have the mod running/installed when playing on any map on the server. (Ie even a stock BI map). I'm assuming you've done something to ammo crates to include these new weapons in them by default.

Two people (one running the mod and one not) will have different rates of fire with the M2 mounted on a HMV. Theres probably other examples but thats one i specifically found and tested by me (without the mod) and someone else (with the mod enabled) shooting at the same time, i finished first.

So consistency is an issue right the way though the mod. From sounds and textures right through to game mechanics. Almost certainly effecting any pvp maps (mod on vs's mod off players) adversely. The only way around this is for everyone be required to use XAM, and quite frankly if were not going to put addons on the server were not going to require people to download 1.7gb's in order to join any multiplayer game on the server.

Huge lag spikes throughout testing (24hr period), no idea whats causing this but if a 100mbit dedicated cant handle it with 10 people on, god knows what you've done. If you're mod is eating up more cpu time server side i'd suggest you look into that.

One last thing (probably done by design) is that UH60's have a lot less health, one or two shots from a shilka will instantly destroy it. Not great for large coops on multiplayer especially since many maps the blackhawk is the only form of transportation/quick means of crossing vast distances. We have enough problems with inexperienced pilots flying on the pubic server, so as to reduce its health/increase damage done by shilka's/ other AA is not only impractical its a game stopper in some cases.

There are also qualms about the stability of the game server with the mod enabled. It having crashed a number of times in a 24hr period when the mod was enabled. With it having been stable beforehand. I'm not in a position to provide any more detailed server side info about this unfortunately.

If we had more time chances are we would've picked up on more things that need attention. Bit of attitude in the post, sorry but it was quite a frustrating experience for a number of people. I'm sure a lot of work has been put into this but personally, in its current state, the mod is best limited solely to singleplayer.
