Thanks a lot fromz, not only is your work really plug n' play, but it is also superbly done  . Thanks!

I for one stand at the MoD's disposal, should they need information on recent alien whereabouts. I was myself abducted about 6 years ago by the well-known Mehobian Toudis (thought to have a base in Eastern Europe ), and have been force-fed pizzas and indigestible lines of code ever since.

Hello Doppelganger - You need to lay beacons to mark the D-Z. The number of beacons to lay (using your action "Lay Beacon") depends on the number of players . Once enough beacons have been laid, the radio will be available. I'm really glad you liked Black Sword. I dare hope Bleeding Skies will live up to your expectations! Regards, Igor.

Absolutely stunning Russia . Stunning game too, with fantastic players on both sides (not least on the Dutch one). Great, great football imho, I had a lot of fun watching it .

@ shark-attack Thanks mate, I hope you'll like it! @ BigShot Yes, two players can beat it if they're extra-careful... or disable norrin's revive script and select INSTANT RESPAWN .

Hey there - With Recon Drill, you will be trained to jump behind lines and recon enemy forces without being detected. The mission was designed with one goal in mind: to provide clans with an objective way of assessing a soldier's scouting and infiltrating competences. A lot of people fancy themselves SpecOps, Forward Observers or Snipers - among the most sought-after roles, yet also among the most demanding ones. With its unique "Recon Points" system, Recon Drill will sort the wheat from the chaff: only the best of the best will succeed. The mission is both SP and MP: it provides slots for clan observers to watch the trainee in action, and even a second slot for an instructor to take the jump with the trainee. <ul> [*]Downloads The download contains the mission and the ReadMe file (270Ko). <span style='color:red'>No addons</span> are required to play the mission.

@ Andre, sparks50, Bazooka_Boy Gentlemen, thank you very much for taking the time to leave your comments here. Your feedback is my reward. I'm very very happy you liked the mission. Thanks again, Igor.

Judging from Euro 2004, the more boring and defensive you play, the more likely you are to win. 7 goals were enough for Greece to win the cup (and they took 4) - that's about as many as France scored in the groups (8 for England). By these standards, France and Rumania seem to be awfully serious contenders  .

Something that has been happening since 1.09: Sometimes after a long time (and repeated Alt-Tabbing), there's an apparent CTD. Apparent, because when checking the Task Manager, the arma.exe processus is still on, but there's no way I can get back into the game (it doesn't appear in the list of opened applications). If I start ArmA without stopping the processus, then there's a major drop in FPS. Other than that, the performance improvement is more than significant. Great job!

Hey Ziggy - Yes, for the time being, the ACOG only has GL - by design. I'd forgottent the ACOG was only available with the M203 in the default weapons  . A new version this weekend will have fixed that (available magazines will be displayed). I've redownloaded the mission and tried positioning the target on SHIFT + map click and it works... Could you tell me exactly how you proceed ? Thanks a lot for your interest, Igor.

Hey Q - Thanks for the feedback, it's good to see some people are interested . On a sidenote, I can't access the IC league forums, even after creating the acc. There will also soon be a version where you can spawn a vehicle for you to shoot from... Thanks go to Ricky D. for the suggestion... Yet more work to do I believe  !

Thanks for you interest, Infam0us! V1.5 uploaded. Change log: * Added the possibility to follow the bullet/rocket with a camera (Bullet Cam effect); * Added the possibility to create the target on map click. See the details in the first post! Regards, Igor.

When you're testing a condition on a certain variable, you need to define it before testing it. That is to say that: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">If (typeOf _veh in ["AV8B","AV8B2","UH60","UH60MG","A10","AH6","AH1W"]) Then    {    _bas=basW;    }    Else    {    If (typeOf _veh in  ["Mi17","Mi17_MG","KA50","SU34B","SU34"]) Then       {        _bas=basE;       };    }; will only work if _bas has been defined before. Therefore: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> _bas=0; If (typeOf _veh in ["AV8B","AV8B2","UH60","UH60MG","A10","AH6","AH1W"]) Then    {    _bas=basW;    }    Else    {    If (typeOf _veh in  ["Mi17","Mi17_MG","KA50","SU34B","SU34"]) Then       {        _bas=basE;       };    }; will work . I think this may have been the cause of your problem...

Thanks again Q. I'm quite hopeful that there might be a few players out there who like this sort of drill .

@ Q Bitte sehr, mein Freund ! Ich hoffe, dass du ein bisschen Spass mit dieser Auftrag (?) haben wirst ! Thanks for your interest Rokka. Unfortunately, I don't have any Linux server, but I'll enquire and report here. If anyone managing a Linux server could confirm the mission doesn't work on it, I'd really appreciate it... Thanks in advance!

Hi - <span style='color:red'>THE NEW VERSION Â IS OUT (v2.0) May, 5th</span> The new version 2.0 has been uploaded: ==> v2.0 <==. From the updated ReadMe: I think it has now at last become the lag-free, plot-driven, fast-fragging, uncompromising yet feasible, mission I wanted to create in the first place . Thanks a lot for your constructive and inspiring feedback, especially NoBrainer and Batstat. I hope some of you will enjoy it, Igor.

@ NoBrainer and Batstat Gentlemen, thanks a lot for your interest and your feedback. Your claims about the spawning are really legitimate, now do I endorse them, I don't know I wanted to simulate total chaos, a rioting town where nowhere is safe... And also whose buildings are "used" by the AI... It'd probaly be a safe bet to say I may have overdone it a tiny wee tad  . For players to be able to secure areas is feasible. Implementing it will take me on a longer trip with this mission than originally planned... But hey, let's do it! NoBrainer, I do sometimes have the same problem as you, and more often than not, the only way to fix it is not to #reassign, but to #missions and #reassign... I really don't know what the cause of it is though... Conflicts between HALO and revive? Initialisation problems on dedicated servers (the problem I first noticed after 1.09)? I don't know. I have no quick fix yet  Again, thanks for the feedback, it's much appreciated. I'll see what I can do about the securing of areas and the spawning of the AI in the next few days . Regards, Igor.

Gentlemen, thank you very very much for your interest in such brutal and uncompromising gameplay. @NoBrainer I've taken all your wise requests into consideration. I hadn't noticed the weapons bug you mentioned. It's not caused by your server, but definitely by an oversight of mine: I had forgotten to RemoveAllWeapons the soldiers. Thanks again, even though running around with an M249 throwing M203s was ACE Â The new version 1.0c has been uploaded: ==> v1.0c <==. From the updated ReadMe: Thanks again, and good luck, Igor.

This is bound to ROCK big time. Thanks a zillion for all the hard work and the late-night hours you've thrown into the project. Vous etes énormes !!!  Igor.

So if there are thousands of other posts about it(and there are), what on earth is the purpose of this thread? Â

Awesome!!! Thanks a lot, this is sure to rock!

Thanks a lot for your interest gentlemen. I originally made this mission for "casual" play: you come back from work tired and angry, and you feel like venting out your pent-up emotions on a few AI targets. Insertion is short, and you're straight into the mix. Careful, though, it's really intense and uncompromising. I really do hope I won't be the only to love it... Regards, Igor. P.S.: a new, longer, more "intellectual", mission will also be released soon.
