  1. Good call. The commanders gun is practically unuseable in multiplayer because of this.
  2. His post was completely necessary, because what you said was, by most opinions, wrong.

    Clan?

    It's just a name for a group of players. Some teams and squads think they are more 1337 by using a newer term, but at the end of the day, clan = squad = team

    A Statement about BIS. What do you think?

    Worst post ever.
  5. This more frequent use of beta builds is a very nice idea, it gives us confidence that the developers are actually doing stuff on the game - "patch will be ready when it's ready" was an insult to paying customers in my opinion, but it leads me to the following question. Are we still going to get occasional "official" beta releases as we used to get, or will patches from now on be full update versions?

    JTD Fire And Smoke

    This was something that was discussed during beta testing. DM originally had his own, proprietary system that should have broadcast fires between clients, without server side software, but despite lots of testing, it didn't work, so he had to fall back on the traditional server-client relationship. As far as I understand, this has some implications for JIP players, in that their updates are rather slower than originally planned.

    JTD Fire And Smoke

    I had player fire damage, but in an earlier version. I haven't tested the release version either.

    Have you seen this something more working in your tests? I've not got around to trying it yet.
  10. Xfire updated itself today and now it's stopped working, despite the fix still being in place in the ini file :( Correction. I added Kremators code [5856_2] and it's working again.

    WIP JTD Fire And Smoke

    The rolling, tumbling smoke cloud looks nice and it's something I mentioned to DM a while back. Yours doesn't disperse though, even in calm weather, a column of smoke, even that from a diesel fuel fire, doesn't stay that contiguous as it rises into the air.

    Need a "for gods sake shut up" command..

    I'm amused by the thought of AI saying "F***, my face" instead of "F*** my leg". Is that so very wrong?

    Need a "for gods sake shut up" command..

    A second 5.56 to the face just to press home the point then. :)

    5.56 to the face will quieten them down a little.

    WIP JTD Fire And Smoke

    I was and am honoured to help in the continuing beta test of this so I can say with some confidence, it WILL be released in time. We've found one or two problems but I'm confident it'll be up to the usual JTD quality standards.

    It means you can spawn AI team mates Useful for base defence and stuff like that, especially when you play with only a few players.

    Evil railroad bug and other

    I think he means the crew of the APC bail even when the vehicle is swimming if they are attacked.

    WIP JTD Fire And Smoke

    Yep. We tested it with one player client running a 2 year old E6600 at stock in XP32. FPS drop was much less than anticipated.

    Scope Issues in game

    Yeah, it's a reflection. You aren't actually looking through the scope. Press numpad zero to use optics view.

    I've been meaning to set this to true. I've done it now and will report back when I know if it's had any effect.
