    Dolphin Slaughter... Disturbing

    I've seen some pretty awful things in my very short 26 years on this planet, as a Marine, a Police Officer, and as a Private Military Contractor. But this is inordinately cruel and hard to watch. Not to mention that these animals are highly endangered. WARNING: THIS VIDEO CONTAINS IMAGES OF A GRAPHIC NATURE http://www.glumbert.com/media/dolphin

    ArmA 2

    The name is sullied, and there is no getting around that. ArmA was more of the same, at least when it concerned OFP. Well, the same doesn't cut it today, and ArmA 2 better include what is considered the "norm" today, else it'll be a massive failure as was ArmA when it concerns sales. And yes, ArmA was a failure in that aspect.

    Oh thank God! It's good too see that you're still working on this, Cam. It's one of the few mods/addons that enables myself to continue enjoying ArmA.

    ArmA Effects

    Sounds like the mod isn't activating for some reason. Check it's installed properly. The difference to BIS effects should be pretty obvious. If the SIX mods are working, then they will be preventing my tank muzzleflash from showing up. Currently that's the only effect that relies on eventhandlers, but I will be making more in future. This shouldn't be an issue for long though.Thanks to Mr Groch and ArmaVids for the videos. That video by Marines actually shows ver0.2 of my mod. It's still a pretty cool video though. Glad you guys like the mod  Well, I created that video in hopes that it would showcase some of the more exciting aspects of the 6thsense version, notably, this and Chammys sound mod. And too be honest, if it were not for these two modifications, I probably would've thrown ArmA in the trash long ago. For those that haven't seen it, here is a glimpse of what this mod adds too the game... It's the first vid in the featured section, titled ArmA: Effects. http://www.youtube.com/user/USMCG0811

    Armed Assault videos

    Worthwhile vids, IMHO. At best, these are the very last videos I have before deployment. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfIKpoX1c9g http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkJeBcK60GE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPON4AccKmw

    Armed Assault videos

    @ 4 IN 1 & Wika That's a big NO. It's actually from the film, Requiem for a Dream, the original score being by Clint Mansell. It's since been hijacked by various other film makers for use in their own media.

    http://youtube.com/watch?v=WvNd_QzWMtg I probably receive more requests for different soundtrack versions than anyone else. Also, this is my last video, or technically speaking, the last one was the last... as I have to deploy to the sandbox toward the end of the month. I'm also working on getting the original version (hi-res) hosted at ACG. I'll keep you all apprised. Cheers!

    The Tornado with the pilot and weapons officer positions is simply amazing. This will be one hell of a bird too have in MP.

    Expansion: Arma: Queen's Gambit

    Not entirely sure you'll get your wish. From the info presented in the past, it's somewhere in-between Rahmadi and southern Sahrani. Besides, the new island has a decidedly Middle Eastern flavor. Screenshot

    Expansion: Arma: Queen's Gambit

    I'm more concerned with the PMC aspects, and I can guarantee that the DC-2 Dakota is likely related to the mercs, and their mission. As if they fell off some retro wagon from Rhodesia during the Bush Wars. It all seems highly lame, tacky, and contrived. As if they said "Hey, I have an idea! PMCs/Mercs are an in-thing right now.", and simply slapped it in there for good measure. Hell, it's fairly obvious from the screens that they conducted no previous research into those roles.

    Expansion: Arma: Queen's Gambit

    Confirmed features? The last part sounds...well...I don't really know. As if they're attempting to combine elements form BF2, Soldner, Jagged Alliance etc etc, into what is supposed to be as close as you can get to a combat sim. http://petergames.de/Armed-Assault-Queen-s-Gambit.38.0.html

    Armed Assault videos

    Those explosion effects are from my effects mod by the way, ArmA Effects. The version in the video is the one available here. Future versions will be part of the 6thsense.eu mod pack. The current work-in-progress version on my hard drive has some changes since the video, so the next version in the 6thsense.eu pack will be better. Correct Matt, and I'm sorry if i didn't provide you with a specific "hats-off" so too speak, but there are simply so many excellent addons and mods in that pack, that I felt it a bit unfair to simply include just a few notables. Which is why I used the word compiled in the YouTube description. I'd like too find a way to upload the hi-res version, because the effects are crazy. Awesome work BTW.

    I simply bound the mouse to the camera functions, which is found under the "bulldozer" tab. I've also done the same with my joystick, as it allows for some really fluid movement. Cheers!

    Footage taken from the 6thsense.eu complication mod (v0.93). Notable features are the improved and enhanced sound and visual effects. FYI - The audio is fairly loud with the cannon fire and explosions etc. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPON4AccKmw

    ArmA: Film of the Year

    Quite a few contenders, here. Just thought I'd start a topic concerning those that contribute films worthy of a watch. Of course, I get center stage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfIKpoX1c9g Hi-Res version - http://files.filefront.com//;8231592;;/ My vote goes to "trini", and the Red Dawn video, top-notch IMHO. http://www.gamerztheatre.com/content/blogcategory/86/257/

    Combat Mission: Shock Force

    Have a look at this thread. My posts can be seen on the second page. http://www.armchairgeneral.com/forums....&page=2
  17. 1.) How long have you had your current box? 2.) If for over a year or more, when was the last time you reinstalled your OS? As the PC Gamer Editor in Chief Greg Vederman would say; "Those whom do not follow thy holy doctrine of OS reinstallation, are certainly doomed to the blue-screen of death hell." Honestly though, I don't think any member here has ever heard of anyone experiencing the myraid of issues you do. It sounds too awful to be true, IMHO. I'll shoot a PM to SiberianHeat over at the ACG forums, as he is the man so to speak concerning these problems. I'll try and get back too ya before Monday, which is of course, all dependant upon his timely response. Cheers!
  18. Ohh man... I don't know what to tell ya, mate. Have you experienced any issues with other games, no matter how minute?

    Night Vision

    It's obvious you've never served the military, whatever country you may hail from. NVG's visuals do indeed fade in and out dependant upon the available light sources, be it artificial or natural sources. However, you are correct to an extent. For some strange reason, HDR seems to affect the tone and source of the ambient light. Perhaps the modding community will fix this in the future...
  20. Also cj, try installing DX9. This seems to work for some 88XX users... under Vista that is. Just back up your DX10 partition.

    My New ArmA with 8800 GTX 768!

    I'd be pissed off too if I had the req'd specifications, and nothing but problems. But if you're running a OS, i.e. Vista, that isn't officially supported, and a card that isn't officially supported, what in God's name does anyone expect that has said software/hardware installed? It's fairly simple - Just look on the box under system specifications described. If your rig doesn't meet them, simply move on, or give it a try. But don't bitch moan and complain when you experience problems. It's like talking to a brick-wall with some of these people. And no cjs, this is not directed at you, but a larger statement as a whole.
  22. Also, just for shits and giggles, download and install CCleaner. Your HD is likely awash with random garbage much like everyone that uses a PC. Run the first tab labeled "Cleaner", and have a look at how much space it free's up, probably something well over 500MBs (followed by a defrag). The tab below that should be "Issues", which are related to your registry integrity. CCleaner will only locate and eliminate enteries that are considered safe, however, I'd preform a back-up via CC when prompted. You'd be surprised how many issues this one little program eliminates when it concerns a great many games, including ArmA and GRAW2 for example. Again, just for shits and giggles. Something to be used in conjunction with the other advice presented.

    Advanced Combat Environment

    You're right, mate! I was looking over this WIP located at the bottom of the page. Should be interesting to see what the max ceiling for engagement will be.

    Vista Black load screen?

    I found a work-around some months back that seemed to work for quite a few people using Vista. Uninstall DX10 and install the latest DX9 available via Microsoft. Although, this "fix" seems to be hit and miss at best. http://www.microsoft.com/downloa....oryid=2

    One, I never "Trolled", you simply took it as such. Two, you're running Vista, which isn't a officially supported platform to begin with. Three, while the 1.08 patch allowed for increased VRAM allocation for those cards, they STILL are not supported. Four, it's widely considered to be that of a driver related issue, so maybe you should contact nVidia or post a topic on their forums, as those members seem far more up to date with these problems. Five, from the latest reviews concerning those cards, it's clear that nVidia improperly implemented core architecture values. Six, if you couldn't find a solution in the thread you originally posted, I spose you're not going to find a solution at all, at least not until a set of properly optimized drivers are released. Hell, if the other card worked just fine, and you still have it, slap it back in there. Same or like issues. http://forums.nvidia.com/index.p....y172628 It's fairly obvious at this point that the 88XX is unstable at best. The majority of the posts express just that. http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showforum=18 EDIT - I had the exact same problem with my X1900 XTX. I couldn't find a solution either, an was forced to downgrade to a 7900 GS OC.
