Yeah, Mlods would have helped earlier, mostly in scaling the few common components and gauges, but I'm kind of past that point now. I'm asuming that improved Mi-24 is your work? Outstanding! Lol, now you've set the bar I have something to kill myself trying to get over.

??? How is disagreeing with you flamebaiting. Or is this your way of flippantly dismissing any argument you cant successfully defend against? Why do they neeed to defend themselves.? They cant they just ignore them and get on with what they should be doing? Cant see any reson for a BIS employee to get up from his/her desk just because some hag writes something stupid on some rag.

Yeah on to it, ATM Im having trouble getting O2 to preview beyond 24k verts per Lod, not sure what the actual limit is , or if there is anything that can be done about it, but I'm finding it quite a challenge. My pilot lod is currently about 40k verts and not yet fininished so I'll have my work cut out for me

Damn, now I have to get this stupid look off my face. Salivating with a shit eating grin.

Well just for the record, I'd vote to keep the ships as they are.

Well I supose living in universe where the ability to pull a trigger is based on gender, is fictional, yes. And of course the 'its just a game' argument counts, because that is in fact what it is. The only conjecture would be the weight that it provides to the argument. If you know what that is.

Ha ha. If only it was. I'd be just about finished. I kind of posted more to show the project is still kicking, And yes I should have posted higher quality pics, but they probably wouldn't have looked a whole lot better. You'll have to hang out for the full pilot Lod in a few weeks :p I was hoping for something a bit better, but when all is said and done this is realy for an externaly viewed lod, and the surface area of the Hind-A cockpit is considerably more than the Hind-D, but still requires to be on the same single texture.

Hmm, looking at this image its difficult to believe that the high poly for the instrument panels is approaching double the verts of the 1st Lod alone but it is after all just a simple texture bake and normals on a flat planes. And its coming up nice and bold for the distances its most likely to be seen from. Hoping to start baking the pilot and gunners Lods in the next couple of weeks

True, but ArmA is a game. VBS2 is the simulator many ArmA owners wish they had.

bahh!, this shouldn't be about judgement values such as wrong or right or how the selection process, or training of soldiers or some such matter leads male soldiers to ignore the basic priciples of safe effective triage.Bottom line in those situations is you need to prioritise your team assets. If you throw up stuations like 'you have 2 wounded unknowns, seperate gender, Who do you help?' It dosn't mater who you help if neither are on your team. Its about keeping ArmA relevant to its existing players and ensuring its broad enough to attract more. Is the lack of fighting females working for existing players? I'd say from the poll..not. Would the inclusion of females help broaden the audience? Difficult to say, probably not in a direct manner. ie tons of female players, but maybe it will go some way to improving and ensuring the depth of storylines and scenarios. And I see no reason to not explore these ideas or ArmA will only be remembered as a bang simulator instead of being all that it should be

Um is diffucult to say exactly due to the image , but it feels like the engine cowling on the zero is letting the rest of the model down a little. It looks like a black texture applied to an extension of the fuselage mesh but sould have its own distinctive form. If your stuck or need an extra reference feel free to look at/pull apart the zero in this pack http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WUFOP5FX

At least the rocketeer will be relatively seemless with one of the WW2 packs ie 'the few'

Hey bracer, congrats on the release. Taken a bit of a fly around and some night driving and have to say I'm impressed. Realy like finding little scenes like the wrecked train tunnel that seem already to tell a story. Also glad of the more uncomprimising features such as the bridges and dual roadways, the AI will hate it, but it adds heaps of character. Not that I play it but I can see this being an unsupased 'City Life' map. Only crit I could find so far are that I think your use of the blue hotel from ArmA1 looks a liitle odd. I'd suggest making them the complete half circle as they were placed on Sahrani, having the main stair landing and baulastrades canteliever out the way they are is a little disturbing.But still great to see them again. As for the clutter, it actualy felt good in the urban areas, but I'd agree with metalcraze that it needs some more bush, and denser clutter out side the city. Though I wouldn't quite go Chenarus levels.

+1 to GIMP, I have used educational versions of PS, but only the GIMP at home, it's good. Don't think I ever had a show stopper using PS files in GIMP either, and it has a big following so a quick google will answer almost any question.

Out of curiosity I was wondering wich version of Agent Smiths building pack your using? Had done some work on a port of my own some time back, complete with ruins but I couldn't get around one particular building killing my FPS.

Great balance of old v new and space v clutter, Very believeable!

I think 'necessary' is a bad way of phrasing the question. But I'm all for it. Especialy so if it combines base jumping.

Hey Col. If your just taking screen shots don't be afraid to max your video settings and adjust your time of day for the best lighting effect. As for getting good images below 100k, I use GIMP which has a quality slider when using 'save as.jpg'. This basically controls color compression without changing the image size, fewer colors = smaller file size. Should be enough to say save a 1600x1080 @ %65 but individual images do vary.

Some obvious improvements there Mondkalb. I'm guessing they no longer stop 80-ton of speeding tank?

Well I think mud slipage is already a confirmed feature but not sure if its rain related or part of the island creation process. As for the rest I think BIS have bigger fish to fry if they are to attract a broader player base

V1.2 @megaupload http://www.megaupload.com/?d=13G29EI6 V1.2 @arma2base http://www.arma2base.de/include.php?path=download&contentid=902 V1.2 @armaholic http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=7746 --------------------- STADIUM Addon V1.2 Signed, ....realy truely signed By Pafetik Bazerka --------------------- Change Log v1.2 *fixed - .bisign and .bikey fixed and updated. ******PLEASE USE THIS NEW .bikeY FROM NOW ON. THE PREVIOUS IS LOST TO ME******* (ALSO UPDATED @ OFPEC. SORRY WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN) *updated - the readme Change Log v1.1 *added - Damage proxies to glass in scorboard area, *added - An extra 'ruin stage to the apex segment. *fixed - removed ability to heal at segments *added - emmisive textures to light towers PURPOSE -------- To provide aN example of a sports stadium to the ArmA2 commuity for both testing and enjoyment. Intialy sprung from the idea of providing a mock MCG to be used on the proposed Australia Island. --------- Includes --------- paf_stad_obj.pbo = PBstadS.p3d..............the standard 1/4 circle piece. PDstadSD.p3d.............the standard 1/4 circle piece, damaged. PDstadS_ruins.p3d........the standard 1/4 circle piece, ruined. PBstadR.p3d..............1/4 circle piece with pedestrian ramps. PBstadR_ruins.p3d........1/4 circle piece with pedestrian ramps, ruined. PBstadRscore.p3d.........1/4 circle piece with pedestrian ramps,and scoreboard/coach/TV box. PBstadRscore_ruins.p3d...1/4 circle piece with pedestrian ramps,and scoreboard/coach/TV box, in ruins PBstadE.p3d..............slightly eliptical 1/4 circle piece with vehicle tunnel entrance. PBstadE_ruins.p3d........slightly eliptical 1/4 circle piece with vehicle tunnel entrance, ruined pbaflgoals...............set of goal posts based on those used in Austrailan Rules Football, not destructable, afterall its only a game. PBlighttower.p3d.........light towers for night games. PBlighttower_ruins.p3d...colapsed light towers. paf_stad_obj.pbo.PAF_bisign = the sign file, server admins will find me registerd at OFPEC COop-04v01_stad_hostages = Demo mission, for 1-4 players in MP mode. (same as BETA release version) Very simple set up, grab a vehicle and race your team members to the stadium, enjoy the views of the vast concrete mass as you approach but beware its filed with Russians holding hostages. The mission is a little rough as it was a spontaneous creation at a LAN party recently but it has at least been tested with 4 players and we all got a few laughs out of it. The hostages are realy just eye candy and there is no end trigger, but it does have respawn going so is basically endless and it can be fun to see how far the AI will utilise the stadiums paths after they have been reborn. Demo Mission soucefile for you to abuse and a tester mission containing just the stadium pieces, so you can feel free to simply switch the pieces in editor or use the stadium for some quick bombing practice or to use as a template without having to editor place the stadium. Be aware though you will need to clear the init lines of the pieces if they are moved. ------------- INSTALLLATION -------------- - place @PAFs_Stuff folder in your \ArmA2 folder and include the -mod=@PAFs_Stuff suffix to your shortcut. OR take the paf_stad_obj.pbo and paf_stad_obj.pbo.PAF_bisign and put it in which ever mod\addons folder you choose. -Contents of the MPMissions folder to your \ArmA2\MPMissiosn folder. -------------- USAGE -------------- - feel free to use thenm on your island - modify the demo mission any way you see fit - or just place them in editor. Though I would strongly recomend using 'iOnOs' Real Time Editor for placement found here http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=85766 - give credit when you feel credit is due. - Do not attempt to extract the mlods for modification or rip any part of this addon - If you do feel crazy enough to want to rip my addon just let me know and I may see what I can do about supplying source files. ----------- KNOWN BUGS ----------- - light still penetrates some corners of shadow LODs, though fixed many of them. - textures are on the whole only a little better than my first attemp (sorry I STILL! cant seem to digital texture for sh.t) Edit; find under Empty, Oz Isle Objects mirrors are greatly appreciated

Im begining to think this thread is not a dead horse but an indestructable benevolent trouser snake the size of a spice worm. Another nail in cofin for chivilaristic masogonists? http://www.abc.net.au/news/2011-09-27/women-on-the-frontline/2946258/?site=sydney

Thanks Fohound, If you get a moment could you please re-update Oh supreme overlord
