    1.7 beta impressions

    Same with my GTX. I'll try some tweaking to see if I can get it fixed. Damn Playdough Assault, I thought it was gone forever.

    Ammunition dumps - guard duty

    The AI guards you're posted with usually take care of the northern enemies. What I recommend - climb the stack and camp up there. The enemy only has pistols, so they can't (and won't) shoot at you. With your NVGs on, you'll be able to spot the enemies even before they reach the base. Simple + effective.

    Uh huh - that's the best specs for a laptop I've seen for a while. Nicely done.

    Defintely. I also agree with removing the VDV logo from the BRDM, that way I can use it with the MI, when they show up.

    I use Vista 32 too - have you tried the 160 series?

    I'm a GTXer and don't get the issue with 160.03 and 161.05 drivers... maybe you should give it a shot, as I used to get it all the time.

    Yeah, now that it's possible to differentiate between SF and regs (thanks to the Protec in v1.07) I'll be throwing some ODA operators in there, most likely in the near future. I've already retex'd their gear, all that needs to be done is config and model work. Simple.

    OK, they're done - I'll be uploading tomorrow sometime. Just so you know, ColonelSandersLite has something very pleasant up his sleeve for you all... ...and to Knight, I've started work on your request.

    Just need to add some ACH patches, gimme a day or two. Latest will be 5pm AEST tomorrow. My latest delay is due to assignment work, got 3 due within 9 days, and I'm a last-minute-man. Thanks for the comments. @Elite Seal - not so sure about coop, but I'm working on a mission for these units at the moment. It's currently only single player, but I may have to make a co-op level to get you all happy.

    Does anyone else have this bug?

    I get that, a lot of people get that. Looks like the LOD bug. I have an 8800GTX and used to get that quite a bit. Are you using the -maxmem=512; command? Whack that into your shortcut and see if it helps. Also, try switching around drivers, there's been a few new releases on Guru3D lately.

    SLX Example Weapons

    Hey mate, in reply to your query: I have an ASUS EN8800GTX, and I'm using ArmA v1.05.5143 Beta. I get your awesome parallax'd Aimpoint just fine, it's just these rounds McAppearing. I'll jump back into ArmA and will have another go. Those transparent mags... good god, this should be standard on every ArmA weapon released from now on, I almost drooled/peed/shat my pants seeing them. EDIT: Mate, I'm still getting them, but I don't think it's your weapons' fault. It seems to be a bug related to the card, perhaps it's my beta drivers, as I'm only seeing the escaped rounds whenever I look away from the sun. If any other 8800 users wanted to say how they were finding it, please do. It's not the end of the world, in any case. Great work - I wouldn't fret about my little bug over here. Perhaps it's related to post-processing?

    2GB OCZ Titanium Alpha DDR II DC - kickass heatsinks. While my supplier had faster gear, none of them were instore, so I was forced to settle for these (the quickest they have are the latest 1100MHz OCZ offerings). Stock speed is 1000MHz, here's my speed on a small RAM:FSB overclock (@ 2.4V, 5-6-6-18 timings (weak, I know)): 534.2 x 2 = 1068.4MHz. I got it up to 1200MHz on 2.5V with a 5-5-5-15 move up, but things are stabler around 1167MHz when my C2D is running overclocked as well.

    Hey all - another pic I did tonight, happy that I got the top'o'ACH IR patch normal maps done. v0.02 The boys are about ready to go, I'm just curious about adding a unit patch to the sides of the ACH in one or two units to mix things up a little bit more than they are currently. What do y'all think?

    Good god, when does it end? Nice, Solus. I was suspicious of you (as I am with all newbies) when you started hanging around the OFP forums for the first time, but it seems that you can deliver what you promise - I respect that. Nicely done. EDIT: Bug: you can see the bullets "leaving" the magazine of the XMS in first person view, not 3rd person though. Here's a screen:

    Hardware and settings for ArmA

    Well, I finally finished my upgrade, except for a new sound card, but I will wait till Creative straightens itself out concerning Vista before I get one. Here she blows: What it was: Intel P4 HT 541 (standard: 3.4GHz) @ 3.9GHz 2GB Corsair Value Select DDR2 DC RAM (standard: 533MHz) @ 667MHz ASUS P5AD2-E Deluxe ASUS EN6800GTO @ God knows what. Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2ZS Windows XP Pro All stock cooled. What it is now: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 (standard: 2.4GHz) @ 3.6GHz. 2GB OCZ Titanium Alpha DDR2 DC RAM (standard: 1000MHz) @ 1200MHz - backed off from 4-4-4-15 to 5-5-5-15. ASUS P5W DH Deluxe ASUS EN8800GTX (standard: 576/900MHz) @ 630/1050MHz. Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2ZS (see above). Windows Vista Ultimate. ASUS Silent Square Pro used on CPU, otherwise still stock cooled. I apologise, but I couldn't help but show off just this once. Â

    I need more CONTROL!!

    I think the whole "can't reload while moving" issue, while a side-effect of the ArmA engine, should instil a measure of caution into all ArmA players, namely... ...why reloading in the middle of a street is a bad idea. Find cover. Reload. Keep moving. The fact that you can't move shouldn't be a problem if you follow those three steps.

    PC Discussion Thread - All PC related in here.

    Sorry to bust in here, just a quick question. CPU Z, that ubiquitous system properties program, reports the memory frequency as half of what it really is, right? Something to do with the dual channel property of DDR2. So, for example, someone with DDR2-800 would get ~400MHz in their CPU-Z readout, yes? I just need to confirm as I bought some very, very fast RAM today, and I couldn't find a bloody benchmarking program to give me a straight answer besides Sandra.

    CONVOY [SW]

    Not such a good idea though, my little workaround worked - I waited south of Corazol and the main road and chewed the convoy to bits with satch/M136AT4s. Still needs a bit of work, this one.
  23. CameronMcDonald

    CONVOY [SW]

    All good though, I'm currently having a good time laying satches for the convoy and setting my loons up, but I fear I may expose a weakness in your mission if my plan is successful. I'll wait until the convoy arrives and then tell you whether or not my lil workaround was successful.

    CONVOY [SW]

    First advice: - Make the mission file a PBO, will you? - Where's your overview? - "Good Luck Soldiers" is not a name, nor a place. Too Many Capitals. - There is a Corazol you forget to capitalise in there too. - Your briefing has ugly spaces all the way through it. - RTB marker isn't working. Mission: - Got a script error the instant I started the mission, something relating to player_revive.sqf. That said, I may have done something evil when I converted the folder into a PBO... everything else seems OK insofar. Shame on your beta testers for letting these through the fence. Will report further as I see it.

    Well, well, well. Time to review a mission from one of our post-iest members. I'll get on it right away. Â - EDIT: Link seems FUBAR'd.
