mr.g-c 6 Posted December 2, 2007 Hello, as it is tradition for BIS to bring addons with their patches, i wonder if we get some of em also this time... The ultimate and usefulness "addon" would be IMHO something like Kegetys "lowplants" fix - a simple option to disable all shaders on foliage regardless of the shader-settings. Because no one really realises any visual difference when removing the (imho useless) shader from all foliage Regards, Christian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SlipperyJim 0 Posted December 3, 2007 1.09 (if we do get it) will most surely be the last patch. Adding new features is dangerous. I have seen it with several games whereby adding new features leaves the game with new bugs that never get fixed. Where is our community coordinator? Where is word on the patch? We only seem to have silence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beagle 684 Posted December 3, 2007 Before we speculate about addons there should at least be a sign of the "beta" that was announcend four months ago. Let's just hope that this "beta" ist not the patch itself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rundll.exe 12 Posted December 3, 2007 Quote[/b] ]...and at BIS headquarters the final touches are being put on the 1.09 patch, to those of you who aren’t aware this patch will be released as beta 1.09, once that beta status has progressed successfully it will then be released as final ArmA patch 1.11 or 1.12 (perhaps with a couple of small additional tweaks/fixes if required). The patch includes a number of tweaks/fixes, some improve performance significantly, for example the reworked grass clutter of Northern Sahrani improves frame rates on various systems that tested it.

Maddmatt 1 Posted December 3, 2007 Being able to turn off shaders on foliage only would be a very good idea. Considering the tiny visual difference and the large performance gain, it really should be a standalone graphics option that doesn't effect anything else. Keeping the normal maps on tree trunks would be nice though, that's the only difference that is really noticeable to me. IMO it's the only one that should be there in the first place. Right now dropping shading detail to normal looks good on most foliage - although it leaves the performance hogging shaders, but certain plants turn really ugly with bad low-res textures. Dropping texture resolution like that doesn't seem necessary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lou Montana 101 Posted December 3, 2007 And, by the way, don't forget to fix the 6g30 : actually who used it in a mission ? Buggy, no picture in gear, infinite magazines if you want (cause it doesn't use a slot), etc... as a *new* weapon, it should be fixed, or removed. Ala the "resistance" medic in ArmA:QG, which is bright white with when looking at with NVG during night... Some minor, but really annoying things like that, should be (not especially in the 1.09b, but absolutely in the 1.11/1.12) reworked, to make a nice lifting to the game.

evilnate 0 Posted December 3, 2007 Must.. resist... begging! I think it would be AWESOME if the Javelin was fixed.. Just use the arma model and the old configs and scripts from the old OFP javelin that someone made and it should be good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raynor 0 Posted December 3, 2007 Speaking of the Javelin why not place both the M136 and the Javelin in a position that doesn't interfere with seeing. why not just have the damn rocket canister on the back and leave the CLU in a bag for the Javelin. I mean jesus the thing is unusable because everytime you go prone to engage your stuck with half the model jutting into your view. Some images pertaining to carry of the Javelin: As with both examples you can see the CLU is in a bag, not a monstrosity that is constantly connected to the damn rocket canister.

SlipperyJim 0 Posted December 4, 2007 Although it is good to see some information posted my first reaction is: 1) This is going to take forever. It isn't even in the testing stages yet! At this rate it is going to be 8 or 9 months between patches?!! This is long past simply "have patience". 2) The community are the QA department? Great way to save money, but shouldn't we see the benefits of this by seeing more frequent patches?? You know it seems like the community is divided into two groups. The people who are in love with modifying the game (this group is content to wait until hell freezes over for the next patch) and the other group are people who actually play Arma. This last group is the people who spend hours on a server but then some 10 year old script kiddie shows up and wrecks the gameplay for all. http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin....t=70136 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maddmatt 1 Posted December 4, 2007 If so, where is the beta patch? Other beta patches has been made public. First they do closed testing, and then when they are sure it works the public testing starts. They wont release it straight to the public because it may have major issues. Maybe they are also trying to fix a few known problems before they release it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MehMan 0 Posted December 5, 2007 Question: Do we get some addons to next patch? Answer: Nothing has been said about them and I'm guessing that there are other much more important issues to take care of than a new gun. That makes it a no. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
