RN Escobar

which CTI are u looking for? there is a lil group working on a MFcti conversion, still some bugs to iron out but its almost there. if u want to help out please go to RN forums www.roughnecks.org there is a public ArmA area and there is a thread in there about the MFcti and its current state, all feedback, preferably constructive, is welcome in the same thread

what file format are u using for your xml's? i use a jpg and while it doesn't show under the players screen (P) it does show on vehicles and on my arm i am experimenting with paa files at the moment, alpha channels and what not for transparent background that show the camo etc etc, but i believe that these also show in game but not on the player screen. as for people not joining are u running verify signatures, and would that kick for an invalid file? i'm just guessing, maybe an invlaid format of image file? does your xml link work in IE, thats always a usefull check

i think that the broken core files is and missing campaign are due to the server not having them. i know that when i installed a digital download version on our server it didn't install the campaign, which will probably account for those issues. can't say that i've tried the verifysignatures switch, ATM we rely on our old server logs and IP bans to keep the nasties away, but that will be hard once more cheats and more players come online when 505 release. of course there is always the good ol word of mouth scenario if there are a few server admnis that wish to get toghether and share some info about the bad seeds as they are found

nice avatar dave, you know anything about it??? u know who the cow is? lol, nice to see it live on even though they banned he original user of it

which is why i get 85fps without tweaking v-sync or anything else C2D e6600 oc'd to 3.2 per core 8800gtx at stock clocks with latest drivers raptor 74Gb 10k rpm HD 2 Gb corsair XMS2 Pro Xp pro 32bit X-Fi i do experience a drop around bushes, to about 60fps, but i'm not gonna grumble, my eyes don't refresh that quick anyway

yeah whats that got to with anything??? if u can get free performance and more memmory bandwidth and not spend extra cash for it, why wouldn't you? do u want to spend extra money and not gain the benefit of extra bandwidth? as it stands i got a faster CPU that intel currently sell. just cause u can't do it doesn't mean its not worth doing

u used to be able to use netlog, which would tell u all that information about players connecting, then u could choose to ban them by IP or by ID. but BIS has seen fit to take all that usefull information away from server owners, and replace it with totally useless information. as it stands the only way to get the IP's of players connected is to a third party program, a port sniffer, and have it watch the ports used by the game. even then u pretty much have to be in the game to know whats going on and whose causing trouble. its pretty poor for the server owners ATM

i got no trouble at all with my fairly high end system e6600 @ 3.2Ghz 8800GTX 2 GB corsair DDR2 with some flashy lights, think i got a free upgrade 74GB raptor for apps 250GB for storage X-Fi all setting are on high/very high, AA and AF are on high, no driver tweaks, no OCing, everything at stock bar FSB i use a CRT, at 1600x1200 refresh rate is set at 75hz, i was getting 75FPS in cities, 50+FPS in bushes trees etc etc, no problems with textures. at 1280x1024 my CRT has a higher refresh rate of 85 so i play at that, cities and deserts rock solid 85FPS, bushes and forests 65+FPS. i just don't understand why everyone has so much trouble with this game, i installed it, tweaked a few things in settings and its been playable ever since

UNHIDE YOUR FOLDERS!!!!!!!!! for the fifty thosuandth time

lol, yeah that was the main one i knew about, sent the info to BIS. i didn't even know they'd fixed it, won't be long before they get round that. and with the console released, it the mission making thread they are allready looking at using that. just something for people to keep on top of

tried it have you?

SOS - do you think cheats don't exist? if the anser is yes then i will call u a fool because they do, advertising them here is about as usefull as a kick in the balls, but they are out there, BIS is aware. and as for kill/death ratio in CTF/C&H, its not my bag for gameplay, i expect there are many people that will traunce (spelling?) in many a ctf/c&h. i'm not saying i'm a great player in those game modes, but to blindly believe that no-one out is using cheats is just foolish

i'm getting sick of wankers like you the game runs fine on a high spec system e6600 @ 3.2Ghz 2GB ram 8800GTX 768Mb video ram raptor HD X-Fi all in a nice case with good cooling, and a decent 650w PSU with no driver tweaks or OCing the GPU, i have a perfectly smooth gameplay with every setting maxed out on 3500m VD fraps tells me i sit at the refresh rate of my monitor for just about every part of the game at 1600x1200, it dips in woods to about 50FPS so don't come saying that it doesn't run on a high spec system. get a life, get a real PC and stop posting when u clearly know nothing

i'm confused as to what your saying there, AFAIK there isn't a CTI for ArmA yet, i know that CR is working on something, and there is a battlefield map with some CTI like functions, but its bugged to all hell atm MFCTI is a work in progress, we have a working MFCTI but it still has some issues, they will get ironed out and all will be good. as for lag, i have played both of these almost CTI missions extensively, and i have seen no hint of lag. i suggest u try playing on a real server not something hosted by JOE on JOES Machine.

maybe i'm wrong but if you force the driver to do something not normal, which is what you do with coolbits and forcing V-Sync off, safe mode won't help, will it??? never done it cause i'm not stupid, so i don't know

who would put a gpu with the power of an 8800 into an 8x slot anyway thats almost as bad as trying to run ArmA on a dx266 with 128Mb of ram if your spending that much money on 2 8800's then i would have thought you'd have enough money to buy a Mobo with 2 16x PCIe slots people with that much money and so little knowledge should send some cash to me

everything with BLAME in was a joke the admin side of Arma is pathetic, not tools, no logs, nothing. we at RN are taking drastic measures to protect ourselves and people that play on our servers.

should of course add that if u disable v-sync with an lcd, expect things to go horribly wrong. and if u disable v-sync with an lcd in coolbits, i suspect it will take u a very long time to get back to being able to see anything

nice work making this, but just to warn you fellows that this has now made it to a few cheat sites, expect some clever lil coder to alter this for MP and use it as the base for some cheats

i don't think you'll see an anderson for a while, well at least not till BIS fix flying anyway

passworded servers you get many on them, you and your mates all well and good but the majority of server owners like to share what they got, they enjoy pubs coming in and playing unfortunately in BIS wisdom they have taken away one of the few tools that was available to server admins to combat these cheats, and yes they do exist, if u think they don't your a fool. with Arma using coding very similar to OFP it has made the cheats life easy, they tweak the old cheats with some new code and bang ArmA cheat is born. and by anti cheat i assume u mean verify signatures? all well and good as you said YOUR language pack means it is useless, if you'd made a mod folder all would be fine but YOU made it a patcher, YOU made the anti cheat useless. i blame YOU, only joking, it was good work sickboy, not that bothered bout cheats anyway, we have a much more foolproof system in place, thanks for your help BIS, we will do it ourselves again

exactly where i said then, pfffffft

thats an ArmA issue not a dedicated server issue bugs in the game will also be in the dedi

did u read the first line about making all folders visible? cause yes they are there, but unless u make folders visible u won't find them read the whole post and then act

goto my computer, hit the tools tab and under folder options got to the view tab and in the advanced settings section make sure u have a check mark next to "Show Hidden Files and Folders", as ArmA dl's maps to a hidden folder then u will find what u want in: C:\Documents and Settings\PUT YOUR NAME HERE\Local Settings\Application Data\ArmA replace PUT YOUR NAME HERE with whichever user u use in there u should find an MPmissioncache with actual pbo's
