Was testing the current release with the A2 Map Pack--all I can say is whoa! Quality stuff right there, fellas. Bravo! :D

Seeing this thread, I nearly teared up with joy. Finally, almost there. Takistan works and looks beautifully, just missing the Takitubbies to shoot at. This does have me thinking though if it's at all possible to bring over the Takistani civilians and have them work via a civilian population module or if such a thing is more along the lines of the community needing official BIS support? Because if you use the module right now on such maps, it'll just spawn the Greek civilians, so I don't know how such a module could work bringing the Taki's back to be used on Afghan-style maps and still have them move and do things like they normally would (walking around, talking to each other, driving around, etc) instead of just being spawned and standing there derpingly looking into the sun or something. Anyways, don't mind me, seeing these brought back so many fond memories playing TFOR with the Casual ArmA Players group. Seeing this had me wondering about the whole civilian module stuff and all as well in hopes of someday in the far future of seeing Takistani's populating the streets once more. :D Can't stress how excited and looking forward I am for this eventual release. Thanks for taking the time to make this happen for the community, mate! ^_^

Yes! Finally, black variants!

Not if I keep you working on Project ASTFOR. Why do you think I didn't tell the community you weren't on deadline? lol j/k

Any changes/additions JSRS Studios does in the future will be some time still. LJ was picked up by Arcus Interactive (finally, a game studio with some sense!) for their project "Project: Redfield". Between that, my pestering him to no end with our Project ASTFOR and stuff, it'll be awhile before we take in any suggestions and such. In a way, I'm quite happy, as it's nice to see a studio that was actually wise enough to acknowledge the talent and embrace someone enough to listen to. Unlike a certain one that seems to let the community go in one ear and out the other most of the time and do their own thing with development that makes you wonder what the hell are they smoking when some of these decisions are put in in-game. So just sit tight and we'll tackle some of these things when able to in the near future. :)

Childish bickering that can be easily handled privately instead of derailing the thread aside....OS I'm really, really enjoying the updates. Been trying it out with the current Dev build with its improvements and have to say WOW! I know you're quite frustrated with the series and grown tired of having to work on it, but even so I appreciate your efforts to improve the visual side of things and have to say for me personally, you have indeed accomplished that. Watching explosions at night with NVG's looks like one of those crazy-intense helmet cam videos Funker posts on Youtube or something. Awesomesauce! ^_^

Really impressive updates, mate. LOVE the lmg's and FN2000 sounds. And of course the sonic cracks are killer (always loved them since the start).

Welcome to ArmA 3's world, unfortunately. In fact my group has stopped doing coops for awhile now because it sucks shooting the opfor and all they do is weeble-wobble then kill you. It's not Roberts issue, but an ArmA issue directly. Whoever in the office thought it was a great idea to have the Opfor soak up ammo and then Zoidberg their way across the battlefield, needs their head examined. Last time my group played, the opfor took a blatant shot to the head with a sniper rifle and didn't drop, lol. So yeah, you should be screaming that at our friends at BIS, and not RH.

My a stroke of luck, I found and changed it. I even dropped the speed of it too for personal taste. You can find the entry here:

Denco, where you able to figure out how to swap to the other version of the patrol walk in BogatyrVoss's addon? I was expecting to see a _v3 next to it, but don't seem to.

Funny enough I kept CMSS-3D on with my creative card, but set the elevation filter and the other one to off and it seemed to have made some sort of difference, as it was a bit easier getting a general direction where the fire was coming from inside of a city. Not 100% perfect, but compared to before it's definitely welcomed.

Nice find. I have a bit of an aged Creative X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Champion soundcard and have the X-fi CMSS-3D turned on (always had it on ever since getting it and back on A2) with both MacroFX and ElevationFilter on. So I would then disable the CMSS-3D?

Sounds and "realism" are widely subjective. What you may think is far from realistic sounding another person or persons may think otherwise. Most of the community knows that LJ keeps realism in mind but also gives his interpretation and what fits within ArmA. There are other sound mods out there, like the excellent SOS mod, etc. Feel free to explore and experience. We might look into optional sounds in the far future, but right now we really aren't concerned with personal tastes, as there are more important things that need looking into. Thanks. -John JSRS Studios Team

Don't worry, I saw it and funny enough share the same view lately. Especially since re-downloading A2's version of JSRS and manning the mini on takistan (AiA). It's completely like night and day. It's one thing I would be placing before Dennis at some point in the far future if he tackles sounds. But right now, he deserves a nice long and relaxing vacation. Plus our concern right now is more on functionality and squashing major bugs. But don't worry, the people who count saw it and it is duly noted.

It definitely looks better with this color compared to the all-lemon yellow. I think this would flow better with BIS's color choices than the original colors in the release. Perhaps adjust the yellow to be a more pale yellow-white? Especially if people have a wee bit difference in color calibration of their monitors, using things like SweetFX, etc. So it sort of balances out a bit. But I don't know, I know I've chimed in about the yellow, but feel kind of horrible about it knowing how much work went into the project and how much of a pain in the ass it is, especially with all the restarting stupidity with the game. But even so, I'd say this is certainly better.

amen to that! :)

Concerning smoke grenades and saying BIS has them accurate...I disagree to an extent: Maybe if they upped the particles a bit more or at least increased the time before it disappears instead of this quick dust-fart and vanish thing. I think OS's choice is better, but might need to tone down slightly. I will also chime in on the slightly over-powerful yellow tint that tends to take away compared to BIS's color pallet in A3. However overall, quite impressed with OS's work and would like to take this opportunity to congratulate him. Awesome job, mate. Hope you and yours have an excellent holidays and a healthy and successful New Year. :)

*nevermind, lol*

Exactly, there are more pressing matters at hand than working on a list of "I like this sound, but these stink in my opinion so make me different ones please". This is an inescapable part of sound modification, and something that plagued us back in ArmA 2 a bit, haha. It's happened to us, SOS mod, etc. Don't expect us to cater to every single person who doesn't like a particular sound. If sounds change, it'll be because we want them to change at least for now. More technical issues need looking into more than anything else. Like any server issues, mission embedding bug, the missing weapon sounds, etc. Sit tight and enjoy JSRS while the actually important things are looked into instead of matters of personal taste for the time being. Thanks. ;) -J

Thanks! I was sweating bullets when LJ told me the deadline date with my current work, but after a few hours on Skype sharing my screen and working together--I'd say we came up with the best JSRS logo yet. Now I just have to hide before LJ cracks the ol' whip and gives me a deadline for he studio logo next. Haha. But thanks for the comment. Made my day! :)

Nice to see our new logo looking sexy on the forums finally. Congrats on the release, bud. Now we can all breathe and relax for awhile finally, haha. :)

On a side note, please link to larger images in the future. I hate when I click a tiny picture, I get an equally small picture where I can't see much details at all. :P

Please don't. We have enough time-stress as it is going on over at the studio, having people fill our thread with countdowns make my stomach hurt, lol. :P

If you mean JSRS, then no. Soon'ish though. :)

Ben playing with this with some friends and have to say this is hands down one of my new favorites. I have officially decided to use this instead of ACRE. I love how easy it is to run right out of the box, all the features and I'm sure judging by the author and reading through his responses, that this mod will only get even better and more awesome in the future. Thank you very much for all of your time you put into putting this together, and even more thanks for releasing it for the rest of us to fall in love with using! :)
