Well that's a stretch. You can have it, but with ridiculous low server fps.

Great work! Do you know the distance for each grid?

Hi. Got a dedicated server running now and the "documentation" that came with it, is lacking to say the least. 1. It doesn't specify how the mission names should be entered. Thanks to OFP I remembered to remove .sara.pbo but I'm unsure of how it handles spaces in the missionname. [Edit: Do not remove .sara ] 2. There's no mention of how you set max number of players. I've seen almost all servers have defined this, but what is the variable. [Edit: MaxPlayers = 32;] 3. Finally it's the server bandwidth settings. It says to store this in flashpoint.cfg. This seems like a very cut'n'paste from the OFP documentation. Is the file supposed to be called flashpoint.cfg? If not, then what? Thanks in advance.

Ah, thanks guys!

Uh no. You're referring to the server config. That's not where you put the server performance variables.

I installed XP on a P4 2.4Ghz with 1GB RAM on a E3 line (34Mbps) thinking it would be enough as the recommended system was 2Ghz 512MB. Boy was I disapointed when I saw the dedicated server had 24 FPS with just me there and 4 FPS with ~10 players. The only thing installed on the server is ArmA and VNC. I quit VNC too just to be sure, but it didn't have an impact. I sure hope that a) server performance picks up and b) we get a Linux version sooner than schedualed.

Ok, I'm pretty much up and running now, all I need to know is if the server performance settings (such as MaxMsgSend and such) should be placed in the arma.cfg in My Documents/arma folder?

Hi Karr! Lurker from fear.net here. I have a problem now with the server, mainly that it just says waiting for host when I connect to it. I can login as admin and start a mission manually but that's not good enough. [Edit: I had wrong name in server.cfg on the template-field.] Also, when I check the firewall, my client keeps trying to connect to port 10034, then 10036, 10042, 10046, etc. What's this? One last thing I've forgotten. How do I run it as a service? -service? [Edit: Nevermind. Wiki points to this article; ]http://support.microsoft.com/kb/137890/en-us]

What has happend to the german version? If I click the link here; http://www.idea-games.com/index.php?id=project_arma it sends me here; http://boutique.gamesplanet.com/campagn....eu=Arma and that doesn't work. In fact gamesplanet.com doesn't work either...

Real pilots have a map in a see-through pocket on top of their thigh too.

Nevermind. I had edited the playername so I thought I had just renamed it, but insted it made a new player with no progress in the campaign. When I switched back to my original player/profile I was back on track...

I decided to bite the dust and upgrade from w2k to XP. I copied the arma-folder from My Documents but no campaign info is stored there. I still have the old install on another HDD so I can get it back if anyone can point me to where it is.

I'm struggling with Great Battle as well, especially the long ride there. I kill tanks to the best of my abilities but I still fail, looking at a pile of burning tanks... I tried a "shortcut" by getting my gunner to be the pilot, but alas he's as impatient as me and races off to the battlefield, making us both deserters.

Although consequences for TK should be optional. In all online games there are "griefers". They base their fun on other people's misery. It is because of these you have penalties in games. Now, the idea behind any penalty is that it should fit the crime and not impact innocent players. If the rules in OP was implemented, especially #4, the griefers would just run infront of your rifle while you're firing and you're done for. This will be the problem if you make the punishment to severe or unfair. I suggest a 3 strike rule that is somewhat common. The 3rd TK you have, you're either kicked or banned for a timeperiod. That will ensure that accidental blue-on-blue won't be punished too severe while it also encourage you to watch your fire (and target) especially when handling heavy equipment such as artillery and similar.

That's a big cock you have there Blackdog... I've stolen an Ural and drove "over" crouching people, meaning I pushed them a bit and the got bloody but didn't die as I was turning and reversing like a madman as I had just driven into a unit of enemies.

Biggest problem is aiming them. You have half your sight open, and to successfully hit you need to cover the tank and fire blind as opposed to using the ironpin in the sight. I saw the same thing in OFP, the rockets would always go lower than than the crosshair so you had to compensate and "overshoot" to hit.

Awesome work Sickboy and translaters! Will the patch work on german version "out of the box" as well?

I have a Turtle Beach Riviera card on w2k and the sound is totally messed up there. Often I experience that most of the sound is gone after 5-10 mins of gameplay. I can also hear an engine on from 1.5km away as it was 50m away (in the start before the sound is gone). It's really annoying as it kills the atmosphere. If I'm in the game and go to options and disable Hardware Acceleration on the sound, I immediatly CTD. If I test the soundcard in dxdiag and any other game, it's peachy. I don't know what they require of their soundcards, it must be doing some operations that my card doesn't support or it is directly accessing the soundcard which I highly doubt. Or D3DSound blows ass as I suspect.

I havent tryed =1024 will try it when i head home in a hour and let you no on 1200 Im running it on a Amd 4600 x 2, 2 gig, X1950XTX 512mb and its runs terrible compared to any thing else i run. So i will try a couple of the tweaks and let you no. Strange thing it does'nt matter what settings i run it at (Low or max ) i get the same slow downs in the same places ? I tryed the 1024 and 1200mb and it made no differance. Armed is only useing 270.00mb ? is the correct ? It's using 270MB in the menu (heh), but when you're on the island, it's about 7-800MB.

How do you measure FPS?

Hehehe, the unknown challenges for para-troopers. Wonder how many soldiers starved to death on roof-tops during WWII.

That's obviously very very wrong if you think there will only be patches and support for the czech version. Where do you think the biggest market is? Czech republic or the entire world? (Edit: Btw, I was just kidding, not being sarcastic.) (To avoid confusion, the patches will be for all versions. They don't want to maintain 3-4 ArmA versions when they can stick to 1. Placebo said so in one of the posts but since this board doesn't seem to have a "Show all posts by this user" button, I'm too lazy to search it.)

As placebo has pointed out numerous times, it is not the developers that handle marketing. Developers develope. It's not that hard to grasp.

Am I the only one reacting to the voices being worse than OFP? "ALL ... move to ... THAT ... tree"

Shadak for president!
