ArmA II / OA Installation problems
jman replied to ShadeCrenshaw's topic in ARMA 2 & OA - TROUBLESHOOTING
Downloaded OA from the Bis store. When I try to install I get an error Message that says "file read error: C:\Users\Jman\Documents\ARMA2Patch_1_09.exe.xz" On the setup window it says "source: C:\Users\Jman\Documents\ARMA2Patch_1_09.exe.xz" Am I missing something? This file does not exist. Is it coming from the OA install? Do I need to download something else oris my install corrupted. The sproket window said file missing but it also said it was at 100%. -
KMFDM all the way. Â There sound has changed a lot but its all good. Â Listen to the first album then the newest and you wouldent think there the same band. There style is called the ultra heavy beat. There older stuff was industrail. Now its pretty heavy with electronic mixed in, and theres no telling what there next album will sound like. Funker vogt, good EBM(electronic body music) EBM is a style of Industrial Kataklysm, Â Very heavy metal, lots of fast drumming. Â The song "Blood on the swans" is insane. Of course I have to recomend Rammstein but that goes without saying Combichrist. Â There new album isnt as good as the older stuff. The guy behind the project calls there style aggrotech. Kinda industrialish with other styles of elctronic music. Meshuggah. Â Very heavyMath Metal They play eight string guitars and have some very heavy tones. There cover of Rammstein Benzin is crazy heavy, maybe even the heavyist tonewise song that there is. Rhapsody(now they are called Rhapsody of fire) really good medevil/fantasy themed power metal. Plenty of orcestral arragments mixed in. They call it film score metal.

Yes, I think I could do it. In combat, in self defense and defense of family, and while defening any innocent person being attacked. I don't think Id have a problem, espessally since I would feel responisble if my inaction caused the deaths of other innocents.

Common sense is opinion. Ones idea of common sense might be that only the government can have firearms and civilians shouldent have any gun for any reason. Others might be that civilians should only have hunting and manually operated or single shot sporting firearms and no weapon for defense. Others might think that being able to carry a handgun for defense and AR-15 in the bedroom are common sense. The fact is that guns are not the cause of any problem. Kennesaw Georga proves, at least on a small scale( 21,675 people as of the 2000 census) that just becasue everyone has a gun deosnt mean the streets will flow red with blood from wild west stlye shoot outs and people using exessive force.(like shooting someone for calling the a homo or something like that). It also proves that they are a crime deterent. Will that work on a larger scale? I couldent tell you. Maybe it would balence out if every criminal knew that his or her victim was most likely armed, or maybe it wouldent. Although it is the job of the military to protect the country, it definatly helps when they are backed up by their civilain population.

You are right about what weapons it allows. Private citizens used to have their own battleships a LONG time ago. Thing is with the way people are today you just cant trust everyone with heavy weapons, which is bad for the responsible person who would only use it for fun or to defend is country from invading armies.(which isnt too likely to happen). Of course you shouldnt be alowed to have nukes or chemical weapons.(you can buy all you need at the supermarket anyway) I could make the argument for needing automatic weapons for dealing with hoards of murderous mobs looting everthing they can take, like in katrina's aftermath. Although in that situation its your own fault for living someplace below sea level thats inhabited by a lot of un savory people. But for the most part full auto is just a way for rich people to have fun. As anything besides a rental is uber expensive. Semi would be more effective in defending your property in a disaster. Lets just hope I dont find out first hand. Well I guess I should apolgise to you guys, so sorry. I didnt mean to offened anyone. Rustman makes a good point about need. You dont need anything exept a handmade blade, cloths, and a spear. Thats all you need to live. everthing else is comfort and wants. Yes that is taking it to the extreem, but deciding things based on need is never good.

Well its about time. Now where is my diablo 3?

If that is sarcasm then LOL. If not I really cant reply without getting banned.

In response to the above 2 posts. so you don't think Americans are having their rights taken? You believe that the Branch dividians burned themselves alive? Do you believe that a well trained sniper accidentally shot a mother while holding her baby? Im not just talking about guns. Some in my goverment want to controll the internet, and stiffle free speech. Then theres eminate domain used to take someones land so a private buisness can make money. What about the North American Union? I also said MOST of you hate my country NOT all of you. In this thread things have been said about America and it seems that everywhere you go on the net, mostly when about guns or bush you get a lot of America bashing. Yes i also see some europeans who envy certain things about my country, but most of the time I see only negative things from across the pond. As for Bush being a cowboy hahaha that is funny. He wishes he was a cowboy, hes not even from texas. As for civilians not properly identifing there targets, and the sterotype of the gun owner who is nevous and waiting to shoot someone over nothing or at some shadow in the dark of his house. Thats just silly. You dont need special training to tell that the guy thats trying to rob some helpless woman at knife point is a badguy, or the the guy in you kids bedroom with a skimask at 1am is there for a bad reason. Dispite what our news tells us, and probably(correct me if Im wrong) yours too is that you just cant kill someone for looking at you the wrong way just because you have a carry permit. You have to have a GOOD reason. You have to be in fear of great bodily harm or death to you or others. The only other reason is to stop a felony in progress, at least here in Florida, I cant speak for other places.

I cant believe that we are still talking about this. In my experiance there are those that believe that civlians should be able to have guns and those that don't. Most of the time those on either side will never change their opinion. Some of this thread has also been a divide between America and Europe. I cant belive that some of you are afraid of people just because they have guns. This is mostly pointless, the two sides of this argument will never agree or comprimse on anything, so why bother trying to tell the other side about your right to protect yourself and others or that you should rely on the police to help you and hope they get there in time. I will make one point though. I don't know much about the goverments of Europe and other places but Im sure most of you hate my country and wouldent want to live here. With all of the attacks on our freedom and sovereignty and outright murder by our own government can you make an argument that we should not be able to defend ourselves aganst our own government that is trying to take away all freedom?

25 years murder free In the town of Kennesaw, Ga everyone who is old enough and can pass a background check is required to have a gun. In 25 years crime has decressed and there was no wild west shootouts or bullets flying everywhere from negligent discharges.

So you think the liberals in my country don't lie and use statistics incorrectly? With all of the posts you people have made in resposnse to my ban everything dangerous post you proved my point that banning things just because they can kill poeple is stupid. If guns should be banned why not everything else. We would all be safer. We wouldnt have to worry about anything. Think of all the people that could be saved.
-
I don't think that is true. The liberals in this country skew statistics to prove their point of view. Like counting criminals in the total gun deaths and counting some people as both an adult an a child. They also are pretty good at lieing and being stupid. Ill see if I can dig up some evidence to counter that.
-
You dont think cars are effective weapons?!? Whats wrong with enjoying target shooting? Im 22 btw.
-
They are not designed for that but are just as good if not better in the case of cars. Â We can at least agree that cars are very good for murder cant we? Â If people shouldent have guns why should they have anything that gives them the abilty to kill easily? Â Anyways maybe I should just move to your country where I don't have to worry about high crime, a dictatorship or being killed for being white. Â Then I wouldent need guns. Â I would still want them for the fun of it though. Â It must be great. Â BTW where are you people from? Â I guess you dont need to worry about people with knifes or bats. Â Here I know I would. Â I guess your country is a lot better. Â Probably not much racial tensions either?
-
Can you give me a reason why cars should not be banned? I bet I could kill just as many people as the recent masacre in the school. I don't those arguments would deprive you of liberty. If the lack of guns made life safer, wouldent all of those? You want to drive somewhere a motercycle and a side car is all you need. Has anyone in your country used a car a mass murder weapon? Its happened here. Shouldnt people be able to walk down a side walk without being run over by a drunk or a crazy person. So please give me a reason why all the things I listed in my earlier post should not be illegal.

I completely agree with you Baddo. I will keep out of this discussion from now on, though - as some people inhere simply fail to see our points, and goes down to the level of personal insulting instead of facing the reality. I give up, guys. I would never want to own a gun, and you can't change that. If you want a gun, it's your choise - just stay out of me and my familys life, please. Are you saying that you would be afraid of someone that had a gun, or would be worried about them going crazy? Â If we ban guns we should also ban cars. Â You do not need them and there are very deadly, much more deadly than a gun. Â No knifes, you dont need those either and can be used to kill a lot of people. only chefs can have them and they have to be registered with the government. Â Only the goverment can have big trucks. Â The trucking industry must be taken over by the state. Â Big trucks can kill a lot of people. Â What would happen if a truck driver making deleries went crazy while driving next to a school. Â Any truck drivers whishing to keep their jobs must go through background checks and pyschological exams. Â Forks should also be banned there too dangerous and you dont even need them. Â Same thing with baseball bats, cricket bats, golf clubs, etc. Â None of those should be legal, the are lethal weapons. Â They were not designed to kill but they do it pretty good. Â No dangeorous tools like screwdrivers or saws. Â Im sure there are a bunch of other dangerous thing that we should ban for the saftey of all. Can anyone agree to that? These discussions are always hard. Â Most europeans think us American gun owners are crazy and rednecks. Â Which is one of the stupidest sterotypes ever. Â I just think to my self while watching someone on youtube call someone a redneck that has a weapon that costs over 15,000 dollors, arent rednecks supposed to be poor? Â And a lot American gun owners think europeans have a victim mentallity and the men are feminzed in great numbers. Â We just can't see eye to eye and probably never will. Â I just wish that the anit gun people in europe would stop trying to make me helpless. Â Also what do you think about the people in Alaska who need guns for protection aganst wild life? Â Would you just make them a snack or mauling waiting to happen?

My friend was held at gun point while coming home from work. Also what if the burgler wants to kill and or rape your family too?

First of all Id like to thank your country for kicking some communist ass in the winter war. It is good that your police protect you, but how would you feel if you knew that they did not have to protect you and could just wait intell everyone is dead before going into the building to investigate you and everyones around you dead body. Would you want to have a weapon of some kind? Also a lot of Americans do not trust their government or their police(not all of them most are good) for good reason. The military would probably be split in the case of a total gun ban. There have been many infringments on our rights, not just weapons. I have a question for the Europeans here. Do you believe that self defense is a right? And, What will happen first, you and your loved ones dieing or the police showing up? What if the burgler is between you and your phone?
-
First of all the ammendments are not and should not be subject to change. Whats to stop them from saying that you can't beilive in allah or buddah or that if you critize the government that you go to jail. If you can change one you can change the others. Secondly if I were not allowed to have guns I would not feel safe. There are a lot of bad neihborhoods around me if we were not allowed to defend ourselves I probably would'nt even have this computer right now. Hell I might even be dead. The criminals will still have their guns, and even if I was stronger and was a UFC or Pride level fighter I don't think I wuold be able to handle a large group of people. What about big disaters? Think your going to feel safe from a large mob of looters when you and your neihbors have no weapons. Do you feel safe knowing that the police don't have to protect you if they don't want to? In America the supreem court ruled that the police have no duty to protect you. Thirdly I am sure that I could kill more people with a large truck than with a gun, and I have many of them and thoasands of rounds of ammunition. There are plenty of other ways to kill than with guns.

Will the dilophosaurus be full size or be shrinked like in the movie?
-
I though the weapons sounded horrible. Â Not to mention they hadled very badly. Â They have WAY more recoil than they should. Â Especally the M-16, M4, and the AK 74. Â My ak fires a 7.62x39 versus the 5.45x39 like the ak 74 uses and it doesent kick as much and it doesent even have a muzzle brake like the 74 does. Â My opinion on the M16 also comes from personal experiance.
