[Any NooBs to Arma looking to play co-op (maybe PvP) ??]

Hey everyone,

We plan having another "round or two" next Sunday.

I am working on building a Company vs Company (PvP) and wanted to see if there is an interest in such a PvP game online?

It will utilize the High Command Module and have 2 companies (each has 3 platoons (pltn leader is human who in turn controls 3 AI squad plus his own squad) fight each other with objective to terminate the enemy's general. SO it is a mixture of attack and defense at same time.

We would need total 6 human players.

We also have a stealth co-op for those who prefer coop (or do both!) :)

Let me know.

Cheers.

This looks pretty amazing! I can not wait to try it later on at home. I love designing MP missions and this should save tons of times and make it easier!

Quick question:

Will the fireteam makers work with fire teams in your own group?

Will this work with High Command Module groups? (since they have their own markers)

Thanks for great work.

[In editor, how to place someone into a house rather than standing on the roof?]

Or you can put this is init field:

this setPos [getPos this select 0,getPos this select 1,0];

You can set it to 0 (zero) this way it will ensure unit is at ground floor and not on roof.

Cheers.

Thanks to those who joined yesterday. It was fun (even though my group vehicle got annhiliated early in the mission by AT!) :o

Lets plan on a session this Sun at 5pm.

If you can make it please let me know.

Cheers. :bounce3:

[HELP: Spawn Vehicles /Planes]

Hi Norrin,

Thank you very much for posting the mission example. That is exactly what I was looking for!! UPS AI with the group respawn!

2 questions (they never seem to end sorry):

- I assume that vehicles do not work with this one? When I place vehicles, they do not move.

- Since the marker is invisible I assume the patrol range (80 in example) is that from the respawn point for the group? What do I need to change if I wanted them to patrol a different zone?

Thanks for your great help.

[Any NooBs to Arma looking to play co-op (maybe PvP) ??]

I hope to see everyone this eve at 7pm online. Bring extra ammo! :)

[HELP: Spawn Vehicles /Planes]

Thanks norrin. I will wait for your example mission as creating dynamic markers and adding UPS scripts after mission start has started is a bit outside my range :confused:

Thanks.

[Any NooBs to Arma looking to play co-op (maybe PvP) ??]

Hi ckolonko, yes there is still room. Will pm you later this eve with details. Thanks.

mutters, team speak or even skype which ever has better quality. EIther should have pretty good quality.

[Any NooBs to Arma looking to play co-op (maybe PvP) ??]

I will send everyone pm with info later this eve.

As much as I hate addons in MP games, the one I have found most useful is the Archangel addon that reduces the unrealistic AI super aim accuracy! It makes the fights more realistic and lasting longer. Aim weapons (snipers,marksman) are not afected.

See you online tomorrow at 7pm I hope! :partytime:

[Will my PC Run this? What CPU/GPU to get? What settings? System Specifications.]

I think after trying this in a couple of misions, it is more for the reaction time of AI not accuracy. Lower slide means they are slower in response when they see you. But their deadly accuracy is same as I far as I observe.

Any other way to reduce accruacy aisde from a few addons out there (which work great!)? (addons are a headach in MP)

[HELP: Spawn Vehicles /Planes]

I love the group spawn scripts for infantry and vehicles! They give just about total control over mission design.

Quick related spwan question .. using Urban patrol script, I am trying (with no success) to hide markers of enemy groups on map. Could not find a clear answer on how to hide markers (in MP hosted games).

Any hints are highly appreciated as usual.

[Any NooBs to Arma looking to play co-op (maybe PvP) ??]

Team Speak public server. However open to any better ways to communicate.

[Any NooBs to Arma looking to play co-op (maybe PvP) ??]

I am glad I am not the only tired of evo and domination mods and crazy COD kids running on public servers yet not into the clan scene!

I will set up a simple co/op game this Thu 7pm (UK time zone) that should be fun and mature. If we can have 4-6 players that would be great.

I wil send password to everyone interested.

Cheers.

[Any NooBs to Arma looking to play co-op (maybe PvP) ??]

Hi,

I am sure as most new comers to the game have found out already when joining MP games online:

Most public servers are over run by kids who think this is COD or think team kill is cool and they have no concept of team play.

Also I am not a fan of Evo and Dom missions where in the name of realism, you spend hours waiting for transport (I already do that in the morning during rush hour!) and by the time you get to the battle field the battle is over and next thing you know your wife is coming in saying your time on computer is up! You plea " But hon I have not fired a single round go yet" goes unheared!

Other option is to join a clan, which sometimes means dedicating time for practice and a bit too formal for some.

If you are looking for a casual drop in, laid back relxaed MP with just a few mature people without having to say Sir every 6 seconds, then please post in this thread. I figured we can have 6-8 people in a fun semi realistic co/op and maybe PvP MP missions.

So here is a top 10 list of reasons of why you should join us:

10. A great way to get out of house work .. hun I have to fight for my country!

9. You love saying stuff like "Alpha tango foxtrot bravo"

8. You can go to battle during summer in an air-conditioned truck umm .. living room!

7. You can eat a snack during battle. No more need for MREs (meals refused by etheopians)

6. You don't have to follow the Geneva convention rules!

5. Superiors may now be addressed as "Dude"

4. No more PE runs every morning because you can sprint 10 miles without a pause!

3. You will look great in BDUs (Battle Dress Uniform) regardless of how you look in real life!

2. Some of the women (and guys?!) look rather hot (don't ask don't tell policy!)

and the number one reason to join us ..

1. Next mission: an all-out invasion of a women only nudist colony!

Missions we play (they change often):

The Hill

Coop: Takes place on Afghanstan like map. Uphill battle to clear enemy. Enemy is smart and utilize their mortars very effectively. Company level operations. Mostly infantry tactics with artillery support.

Vimeo: http://vimeo.com/9758733

Devils Castle

Coop Mission we get most requests for.

Behind enemy lines mission (like many other missions). The Only difference is, the AI is very aggressive and will utilize KILLER DOGS to track you down. Also enemy has working flash light to aid in their hunt .. along with a few other surprises ;)

Team play is a must to finish this mission.

The Hunt

PvP coop. A coop group is hunted by human enemy who controls AI squads. Can a human be tougher than AI commander?

Are you brave enough to find out? :)

Snipers in the Jungle (PvP)

This a mission for those who fancy themselves as snipers.

It is a TvT (2 Russian Snipers vs 2 American Snipers) set in Razoreniya Island.

Reason for choosing Razoreniya Island: Very dense Realistic looking jungle which is excellent for camo snipers!

Mission has a lot of custom sound effects to add realism and emersion

It has also rain script to make sure it is raining on all machines in MP! ONLY for die hard snipers .. or wanna bees! :)

Show me the money

Coop: Sneak into a Libyan town under attack to steal some money! Just don't get caught in the middle!

We play on Sun evenings. Drop us a line if this sounds like your cup of tea.

Cheers.

[CTD constant & Rebooting folk ..]

I have updates Bios,Video Card driver, windows, sound drivers heck I even cleaned the desktop front cover,and still frequent CTDs! Sometimes they happen after 5 minutes and sometimes 30 minutes (those are worse as you are slmost done with mission!) I have a couple of friends with similar problems.

Every time I get CTD it sends error msg online to BIS. So I hope someone is looking at all data and making a fix before next patch.

[Still no new patch?!?]

The patches show support after release and they have been good in last game with supported patches. If anything, it keeps people attached to game.

However, like many others, I am having major issues with CTD and in my opnion we need that to be addressed before anything. So I hope next patch will address the CTDs and some of the performance issues.

Are you guys using TS2? I am not sure how to find you on TS2 ..

[HELP: Spawn Vehicles /Planes]

Thanks norrin for your quick response.

This is where the noob in me comes out ..

The command for the waypoint type is:

In example given

[_grp, 2] setWaypointType "GUARD"

I am not sure what is [_grp, 2]

name of group? what is the number? where would this line go?

Thanks for your help as usual.

[HELP: Spawn Vehicles /Planes]

Thanks norrin. I have made a large mission with plans, halos, tanks and infantry, it works beautifully!

The only question how can you make different way points for respawned groups, vehicles: for example a group with : destory, cycle, hold , etc .. waypoints ?

Thanks again.

[HELP: Spawn Vehicles /Planes]

Tested it and it workes great Norrin. Thanks!

A couple of observations:

When east east tanks spawn, they have smoke coming out before any combat ..

Is it possible to have the units patrol within say 50m or 100 m from their waypoint?

Thanks for great scripts!

[HELP: Odd problem with ATI and game crashing]

Anyone with any ideas on how to fix this problem?? Your help is grrrrrrreatly apreciated.

[HELP: Odd problem with ATI and game crashing]

Hi everyone,

I am having a bit of odd problem and I hope some of the technical people here can help.

The game freezes then crashed to desktop. I get the VPU recoverer (I have ATI 4870). The game will not play at all after crash (will always freez at main screen)

The odd thing is when I uninstall all ATI driver (including reg) and re install, it works fine. But 3-4 days later it freezes and crashes again! And only after unistall and reinstall of driver does it work again .. and only for 3 -4 days.

WHat could the issue be? Not the card since it does work for a few days after reinstall of drivers.

I have windows xp and Q6600 with 4870 ATI. Running 9.6 drivers.

Any help with this is highly appreciated.:confused:

[HELP: Spawn Vehicles /Planes]

Thanks norrin! I appreciate it. I use your other scripts and they are great (specially UPS)! All I needed was vehicle spawn and I will try yours when I get home.

Would it also work for planes/halos? if yes, can they spawn flying mid air?

Thanks for the great scripts!

[HELP: Spawn Vehicles /Planes]

Anyone?
