Xam 1.4 released

[jaan665 0]

Hey all

i got a very annoying bug in XAm 1.4, i cant climb ladders.

Wanted to do a sniper mission and climb to the top of the church but the climb command doesnt show up, and tried to press enter many times and still wont work!!!

help would be appriciated!!

That's weird, I saw the M4 Eotech w/ M203 launcher in the armory and so did Benoist apparently. Hmmmm....

Just go in to the Editor and place the US weapons Crates. Empty->Ammo->US Weapons/US Special

All the new XAM weapons are in the normal US crates, the same crate name as the US crates in plain old vanilla ArmA. Just try these and you will find them in with all the usual weapons.

@Snake

Can you please make the XAM vehicle chatter (inside tanks) a standalone addon that we can use without the whole package?

Or can anybody else do it (working with XEH) with permission from the XAM team?

In that video it showed battleshock glare after that M1A1 abrams blew up but I tested it by standing partially near it about the same length in the video and nothing happen

I noticed that Xam is puting a lot of strain of my PC.

A simple mission (london bridge, from Kar) is ok without Xam and totaly crawling with it.

Did you suffer from that in other missions ?

Can you post changelog and what's fixed?

I have posted some bugs on XAM forums, I have

also requested signatures, I have made even tracers

fix for MP, and no answer from your...

Great news. I've got one question- will AI be less accurate?

[TrunkzJr 0]

On some servers, it stops me from joining and tells me to turn off XAM then re-join. Some times an Admin himself will be telling me to come back without XAM on cause it will crash the server.

Is this true? If so, is it something that can be fixed? I really love this mod it's freakin awesome with evolution. If you can, add some more horn noises for some of the cars and trucks lol

Sorry just wanted to add this:

When you use 1680x1050 with wide screen ratio, the picture you guys have doesn't stretch.

[rainbow 0]

It's the same with 1440x900. I think the logo doesn't support widescreen.

Please reconsider the addition of the random ambient battlesound. In many

situations this sound-scenery is overdone. I would prefer to have no random battlesound.

Same here doesn't fit in many missions.

Besides the environment sounds of FDF_Sounds are overwritten which is a pity.

Moreover, it destroys my 5.1 headphones surround effect. There should be simple way to turn off background battle sounds.

I hope that you are still going to release the patch.

I hope that you are still going to release the patch.

You hope they still release XAM v1.4:5? Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a second. Did something happen to the XAM crew? That would be a tragedy. I frequently check their english forum section but there's not too much going on in there, and nothing about v1.4:5 delays.

Christ, I suppose I'll have to turn on the ol' brain for a few minutes to remember French, make that to remember how to read in general, and check the French forums.

If theres nothing about delays and nothing about a new version couldn't that just mean that they might be workin on something new or nothing at all?

Yes, it's true. And no, it cannot be fixed. XAM changes a lot of config-stuff which means that if the server isn't running XAM there'll be serious issues between your client and the server, eventually meaning you'll crash the server with your XAM.

XAM is for single player. 6th Sense is a bit like XAM, but for multiplayer.

hi there all

Could someone please explain to me how you get the measuring tool to work out the cordinates for an artilery strike

many thanks

[LHK 0]

WTF are you talking about?? The patch should be released last week AFAIR.

[warpuppy 0]

@LHK

Are your refering to me ?

@ What i have at the moment is player spotter , playbale team leader and i cant get the measuring tool to come up on the map

can anyone help me with this issue?

[LHK 0]

No, it wasn't to you. I've never had problem like this. To call an artilery i use spotter to get coordinates(he's got a Laserdesignator[in XAM it's called "Lasertelemeter" or something like that]) and then I use radio in hmmwv or radio operator.

[Halochief89 0]

Yeah still has some few glitches you guys will sooner or later fix. Like soldiers and tank crewman talking in french (Although I think its cool and awesome) some things still in french and strengthen the nuke again and add sound. Also love to see the new FAMAS that were just released on the new patch

Sounds good. I would be careful about talking too much about distribution of music you don't own rights to though.

We are back at it again, after being away for too many weeks, XAM is back in a 1.4:05 version, featuring:

- Gameplay balance.

- Bugs corrections

- Main stability and performances improvement .

- Content added.

This version works with 1.09 Beta patch for Armed Assault ! We suggest to download this update needed to improve stability and performances.

An ArmA 1.08 compatible version, is on the way and will be here soon, but it's a less recommended version.

Thanks to all those who report about performance and bugs, to HLW Team, to Armed Assault.info and Armaholic for help and mod hosting.

So I will invite you to download this version, the fruit of a long debugging and enhancement work.This,you will not regret.

HAVE A NICE XAM PLAY !
