What do you mean by that? Also is it a fact that the entire game will only be available on Steam?

Is there a non-steam version available? I only see steam versions in the BI store for the higher prices. I wouldn't mind buying the supporter edition but I won't buy anything related to steam.

I have to say, I'd prefer two separate accounts for the store and for the forum. At this time I do have the same email address for both but I'd prefer these not to be migrated for security reasons. Plus on the forums I have a nickname but in the store account I have to have my real name because of credit card information. I'd like to get assurances that my identity is not revealed after the profile change.

There's nothing wrong with frequent beta patches - if you don't like them, don't use them. Otherwise they're a great way to test fixes and to get fixes for bugs as soon as possible.

Yeah, I got the discount coupon, too. I wasn't particularly upset about the sale after putting in the order and, just like Johan S said a few posts back, it's not the money that matters - it's a really nice gesture and I appreaciate it. This reinforces my belief that BIS is one of a few companies that deserve support. Thanks a lot.

Please, absolutely no Steam.

I can't reproduce this now with a different mission. If I can get a reliable steps to get this to happen, I'll report it in the tracker. For now, it seems more likely that the Flashpoint: Zargabad mission is flawed.

Will do a bit later today - I'm at work atm.

Robalo, here's my config - it's all default except for the red parts: class sys_airearming { feature = 1; // All the other settings of this class matter only if we have 1 here run = 1; // Enable rearming at mission start radius = [color=#ff0000][b]30[/b][/color]; // Rearming search radius - how far will AI go to grab stuff civ = 0; // Civilians will try to arm themselves sidearm = [b][color=#ff0000]0[/color][/b]; // Units will take handguns binocs = [color=#ff0000][b]0[/b][/color]; // Units will take binoculars ACEmeds[] = {4,1}; // Units will get this many morphine and epi (ACE mod); format: {amountIfMedic,amountIfNotMedic} Everything else is how it's in your 1.15.1 archive.

Hmm, I'm pretty sure it's not that - I have a dedicated folder for your addon and I only ever copy it there. Plus I restarted the mission I had the problem with the previous version of SupportCall that corrupted the mission, so I tried 6 or 7 times (same mission, but 6 or 7 restarts). I'll try again to see if I can reproduce it - if I can, I'll let you know. I also have quite a few other addons but my .rpt only had that message related to the SupportCall not being recognized.

I just downloaded 1.15.1 and now I'm getting these errors in the .rpt: Error in expression < { if (!canStand _thisunit) then { if (!isNil (_thisunit getVariable "asr_nolegs> Error position: <isNil (_thisunit getVariable "asr_nolegs> Error Generic error in expression File x\asr_ai\addons\sys_aiskill\fnc_AINet_pf.sqf, line 70 I have about 30,000 of these after roughly 10 minutes of playing - all errors are the same.

Thanks for the fast updates! :) One issue, though: seems like the 1.6.1 archive on your website is corrupt - I downloaded several times, it always downloads as supportcall.zip, 123,388 bytes but when I open it, it cannot be decompressed. Edit: I also noticed that upon reloading a mission, the support addon gets corrupted and it seems to corrupt the mission as well. I'm trying Flashpoint Zargabad 1.19 and when I request 1 extra weapon, a few satchels and some extra ammo, they get dropped but if I reload the mission the addon dialog comes up empty and the action menu of the mission doesn't work anymore (it comes up but the menu items don't do anything). I also get these errors (~30 of them) in the .rpt: Addon kron_supportcall (entry KRON_SC_Supplybox) not found in the list of active addons. One more bit of information: when the problem (whatever it is) kicks in, the savegame size goes up from ~20 MB to ~130 MB.

I, too, had one crash earlier that specifically happened while using the support addon - I had the dialog up on the screen and it was still loading item lists when I tried to move my character forward using the arrow keys on the keyboard. (I didn't expect it to work but I wanted to try.) When I pressed the button, the game crashed. I haven't tried reproducing it yet (I don't have much time to play so I just don't press keys while it's loading) but otherwise I don't have crashed (and didn't have one for a while). Yet another feature request: request backpack drop! (All backpack types.) I'm getting greedy. ;)

Yes, I agree that this would be nice - it simply throws in a few extra AIs on the enemy side. Extra AI may wreak havoc on a mission, though, so this may be hard / unsafe to implement.

It's not my usual play style but I enjoyed the heck out of abusing your addon Kronzky, thanks for making it. :D As a suggestion, it'd be nice to have a "Clear Weather" and "Rainy Weather" option. It'd be nice to replay some missions in different circumstances without having to unpack the .pbo.

Yeah, I agree with that. It's a strange thing because I love sci-fy & fantasy and even watched a few zombie movies but when it comes to Arma, I'm a stickler for reality and just cannot get into the zombie gameplay. I'd love for someone transform DayZ into something like MP Abandoned Armies where players & AI on both sides could carry weapons.

I think the Arma setting is the best, then Reinhard and finally default. I don't like Filmic at all, because there's hardly any contrast in it.

It'd be possible to add the already-exisiting DayZ code to the core game / file set but that won't come at no cost. While the base development may have been done by the author of DayZ, it still needs to be bug-fixed, tested, packaged into the installer, etc. The central database must be maintained, etc. All of these are ongoing activities which require people and money. As I said, I have no problem with people modding for these kind of things (in fact it's great that it's possible), I don't want to pay for it. So if zombies come out as a DLC, I'd be fine with that - as long as their cost is not in the core game pricing. Now, if such zombie devleopment would lead to some breakthrough in AI coding, etc., I may even change my mind.

I, too, am against this. It affects available developer/artist resources which I'd prefer work on the main game. I have nothing against zombie missions/addons but they're not the core simulator and that could use a lot more extra work in several areas. I'd prefer not to support (pay for) the development of anything zombie-related in Arma. If people like that, they can already make mods which can be very successful, as DayZ proves.

Thanks Kronzky for this - I was playing a mission some time back where the mission offered a number of weapons and it turned out later into the mission that only one weapon actually had ammo for it in the mission - once I used up the starting ammo (which wasn't much), there was no way to rearm (the mission auto-removed dead bodies 5 seconds after death). The only solution was to restart from the beginning.

Yeah, I expected that, just wanted "official" word on it - mainly because I don't know it's possible for Steam to push distribution outside of Steam itself.

This is really cool, I also preordered. Since I read a few posts back in this thread people guessing if the preorder is for a Steam version, can someone from BIS please confirm that this preorder is NOT a Steam version? (I absolutely do not want anything from Steam.)

You can drop me a copy too. No promises but if I have time between work & family, I'll give it a go.

You're supposed to find NV goggles for yourself. Alternatively, you can wait in front of the screen for a few hours. :)

Thanks for the update, Robalo. Your AI addon is one of the best I've played with.
