The hostage takers.

Someone said the world prefers to deal with rational beings... no shit! Just you get some nut jobs who take children hostage and then kill them! These are not those kind of people, the only thing they understand is violence, and the only thing they deserve is death. My view, you don't like it I have others.

I wonder how must faster it'd go if someone with a lesser... stature was sat in it.

Thought I'd just pop up with some more random stuff. Addons: Combat! Bradley's (gotta love em) Tonal

Hi, over at Tales of War we’ve been trying to organise our team after a long period of inactivity (currently we have about four people actually doing something!). As most of the team has not been in contact with us for quite some time, we’ve decided to open up the flood gates and hire new staff. It’s going to be in many ways a completely new team. This is where you lot come in, if you fit into any of these categories below, and wish to help us then please email us with some screenshots of your work and contact details (MSN, Yahoo, AIM etc) to any of the email addresses listed at the bottom of this post, and we will get back to you. Please be willing to put as much time and effort as you can into the jobs we assign as our plans for future releases are quite ambitious, and we need a well balanced, good working team who complement each others skills and to keep things moving along as smoothly as possible. We’re looking for people with the following skills: 4 3D Modellers for weapons, vehicles, objects, infantry, buildings and so on 6 Texture artists for the same as above, be able to apply textures in O2 also 3 Scripters and Config writers 3 O2 operators, need good knowledge of O2 and setting of LOD’s, GEO’s, fixing of models and so on 2 Terrain editors, good island makers skilled in WRPTool, Visitor and so on (only need to be good at one) 2 Animators for creating moving animations for use with our infantry and cargo positions and so on 2 Sound editors who can create high quality sounds for weapons, vehicles, ambient environment sounds etc Well that’s it for now, if you’re able to do any of these jobs then please email us and we’ll take it from there. Sadly the Choctaw update has been delayed, but not all is lost! This means you still have a chance to submit bugs and ideas for the final version. You can do this on our forums. Anyway thanks for reading this, we felt we owed the community at least some news regarding the teams position. We’re undergoing massive reorganisation, and if all goes well we’ll have an almost brand new team working on things very soon. Those all important email address. Can you please make the subject title “TOW JOB: [job name]†to make things easier for us? Thanks. madmaxpayne40@hotmail.com andersgrim@hotmail.com Mad Max: ToW Management

You mean like the pilots have in the Apache and Eurofighter and stuff? So you look at a target and can lock on simply making visual contact? (maybe u could press tab to lock onto the target closest to ur centre view?) Thinking about it that'd be pretty good, nice idea.

The UN helmet is blue to show your neutrality. They're not actually supposed to do sweet FA in terms of intervention and even have very strict guidelines on returning fire when shot at. So being a UN "peacekeeper" is just like being a spectator really with no power to do anything of credibility. That's why most countries perfer to send their own controled peacekeepers into places these days and just get the UN to give them to go ahead rather than control them.

This is looking god damn amazing! I thought the thing was real screenshots when someone linked me then I looked closer and realised it was Flashpoint! I guess most of the "standards" we thought would be... erm, standard are down to lack of time, it takes a while to make crash models too, and it has issues in MP with spawning new models when they're destroyed. Oh and the plane tail in Apoc Now is an F-4, not B-52, they're massive compared.

And you've had this game how long?

I think it just has a delayed recoil, so you fire it then get the effect of the recoil when you stop, even in full auto.

The operation was a perfect execution, it was just down to lack of medical support afterwards.

Might I also add whilst it's not an official ToW project, (well, it's not on our addons list) we'll be releasing this through our new brand so to speak, ToW: GI (Global Incidents). We'll fill you in on the details soon. Also, we're looking for new members too most of the team will probably be offered full jobs at ToW working on our main projects.

Isn't the "top attack" thing something the Javelin has in real life? There's an option as far as I know for top down and flat trajectory firing.

M21 = M14 with scope. That's about it, maybe a few differences in the zero'ing but that's mainly down to the optics.

I think Suchey's little present (the Russian tank crew) fixed the medic bug. I personally just get that instead of this new pack.

If the UN were to decide they'd take about 10 years discussing if they should discuss it, then another century or so deciding if they should ask for funds, then when they finally do ask it'll have been done by a group of private fundraisers who got bored of the UN's unique ability to not make disisions.

Well, this is obivous, but have you tried the latest drivers for everything? So sound, graphics, motherboard, making sure windows is upto date? Also, look on www.vooodoofiles.com for the "Omega" drivers for Radeons (not sure if they work with the notebook version but I'd expect they should). Those drivers are much more stable and have better performance with pretty much everything. Make sure you have quite a bit of room left on your hard drive too, that can slow things down with swap files which can cause what you're explaining sometimes. Other than that I'm stumped.

We have a mission planner, press "M" it brings up a map! You can add waypoints for your team directly onto it like you can in R6. Oh and let it be known that Raven Shield wasn't actually made by Red Storm, UBI made it, look at the credits if you don't believe me. Red Storm are only responsible for the FMV cinematics of the game which is why they can do things you can't in the game. Also UBI buggered up MP, uber bugs!

Sniper "borrowed" a pic I took before (the Humvee's... damn him!) so here's another one BEFORE he can post it! Addons: COMBAT! HMMWV's (unreleased) HYK US Infantry ('03 version) BAS Tonal

Different light levels would be cool too, so you can only see strobes in NV for example, and laser beams from LAM's (also just in NV).

EEK! Sorry to anyone who emailed me for jobs and I've not replied. The stupid MSN junk filter decided to put some of them in the auto delete folder and I only managed to save one from SgtEversman! Can you please PM me instead? Or post your interest on the TOW forums. Cheers, and sorry if you emailed me!

Who are you directing that to? And you mean freelancing? I can't see why that would be a problem, we could have (Freelance) to your name in the team listing.

Didn't the American's fill tanks with explosives on firing ranges to make them more impressive for the video's? I remeber seeing a letter from some American general to the Russian's appologising for filling old "T" series tanks with HE and shooting them.

I'm not 100% sure but I think you use playmove instead of switchmove... I don't use manually triggered anims too often to be honest so I'm probabaly wrong.

Lookin' nice, although methinks the RAF logo needs somework. Find out how to make textures with transparent bits so you can just apply it to a single flat plane rather than shaping the plane itself. Apart from that it's looking nice.
