This will be our next Sunday coop :-D

Yeeeeeeeees, haha! You make me very happy, man! Can't wait for the first proper Zombie missions! Awesome! Thank you so much!

Thank you very, very much for these packs! They perfectly blend into ACE2 as well (at least as far as I could tell)! You are extremely talented, I gotta give you that! :-))

This sounds very interesting! Downloading & Dankeschön! :-) We'll def. give it a try later on! Edit: Okay, this mission def. has a lot of potential! Can't wait to test it with more people tomorrow! Highly recommended!

Looks neat! We should mess around a bit in that mission that later on, mate :-) Was going to host a server around 19.00h - you in?

Yup, neat mission indeed! It's rather tactical and triggers that typical paranoid "close quarter combat situation" feeling. It sets very high standards to the team on all-realistic settings with a reasonably demanding difficulty. Don't expect to reach the end here without casualties. I also love the performance on Quesh-kibrul. I thoroughly enjoyed it! Sorry, by the way, for the afk time, alleycat - a friend came over :-)

Looks cool, I'll definitely give it a try later on (do message me, if you would like to join in!) - thanks for sharing! :-)

Salut! I have nothing constructive to contribute but I need to get this off my chest: Thank You! What an amazing mission - especially with friends! I lack the profound knowledge to really appreciate the scripting you have come up with - but I can roughly imagine its complexity. Hats off to you, Wiper! Cheers!

Haha, well - yeah! So far BIS is working hard to fix things, though. Let's see where this is heading. As we can see in this list, without community contributions, ArmA(1) would have died mere weeks after its release. Eventually ArmA2 will need people like you, zGuba, to make the most of it and push it to its full potential. And for that we indeed need that "1st floor" of your example :-)

We are a tiny squad called "Virtual Warfare" centered around coop missions and small PvP skirmishes. Many of us were huge fans of Operation Flashpoint and we try to bring to Armed Assault the realism and its unique immersing tension that OFP was able to confer. None of us are particularly skilled in creating add ons for this game but this great community provided us with almost everything we needed! We want to share this add on compilation with you. If you can be bothered please read this rough suggestive guideline on how to turn Armed Assault into something else. Something we greatly enjoy playing. Mostly without the frustration that the vanilla game and its missing features (don't feel bad now, BIS) brought. Hours and hours of nerve-twisting battle tension that gets as close to realism as it can get; without forgetting the fact that in the end it's still a game (and thank goodness for that!). This is the revised version of the old thread which didn't fully survive the transfer to the new forums. Go there for archived replies and discussions. All add ons in question have been tested with Armed Assault version 1.15b --- Advanced Combat Environment --- Important notice: Not all of the add ons discussed here are compatible with and/or superseded by the Advanced Combat Environment modification. Any add ons listed below that still enhance A.C.E. gameplay have been tagged "[A.C.E.]". If no such tag is present the add on is either already included in A.C.E. or has been superseded by the mod's features. If you are new to Armed Assault, my advise would be you try the complete A.C.E. package before reading on. The mod contains a lot more features than all add ons mentioned in this list together. These guys worked very hard and did a hell of a job. Please support them! Alright, now without further ado: - We shall start off with some very basic settings: We are going to put all of the following relevant add ons into two "modfolders": "@General\AddOns" which will hold the gameplay tweaks and model files and "@Replacement\Addons" which will make sure the new content is used instead of the original vanilla ArmA one. This separation is quite arbitrary, it just seemed like a good way to me to keep some basic overview. For those of you who would like to run a dedicated server make a third folder which we happen to name "@Server". "@Server\AddOns" will hold all of the server-sided add ons. Files in question have been marked accordingly. For more details see below just before the beginning of chapter 1)! In case you'd like to use this structure adjust the game's short cut accordingly: And for the dedicated server: For more shortcut options refer to the Biki - Adjusting difficulty settings via "...\Profiles\yourprofilename.ArmAProfile": Open your profile with any text editor ("Notepad" will do) and search for "class Difficulties" - replace them the following settings: class Difficulties { class regular { class Flags { Armor=0; FriendlyTag=0; EnemyTag=0; HUD=0; HUDPerm=0; HUDWp=0; HUDWpPerm=0; AutoSpot=0; Map=0; WeaponCursor=0; AutoGuideAT=0; ClockIndicator=0; 3rdPersonView=0; Tracers=0; UltraAI=0; AutoAim=0; UnlimitedSaves=1; MaxCustomFileSize=33554432; MinErrorToSend=0.080000; vonCodecQuality=10; VonID=1; NetStats=1; DeathMessages=1; }; skillFriendly=1.000000; skillEnemy=0.500000; precisionFriendly=0.500000; precisionEnemy=0.030000; }; class veteran { class Flags { Armor=0; FriendlyTag=0; EnemyTag=0; HUD=0; HUDPerm=0; HUDWp=0; HUDWpPerm=0; AutoSpot=0; Map=0; WeaponCursor=0; AutoGuideAT=0; ClockIndicator=0; 3rdPersonView=0; Tracers=0; UltraAI=1; AutoAim=0; UnlimitedSaves=1; MaxCustomFileSize=33554432; MinErrorToSend=0.080000; vonCodecQuality=10; VonID=1; NetStats=0; DeathMessages=1; }; skillFriendly=1.000000; skillEnemy=0.600000; precisionFriendly=0.500000; precisionEnemy=0.030000; }; }; Don't forget to make a backup of the original file before you save it. What it does: This procedure will set the game to higher standards regarding its internal difficulty options: Rather tough yet clumsy AI in regular mode, quite good (but "fair") AI in Veteran Mode (As long as you make use of SIX's ai tweaks, see 1.1). 3rd person should now be disabled (Good bye, "console pilots") and - most importantly - there will be no more cross hair* (I don't understand why so many players use cross hairs - arguably, it defeats the sheer purpose of OFP/ArmA's style of game play, doesn't it?) There is no scoreboard in Veteran Mode to encourage squad behaviour but to also prevent players from "peaking" after a kill cannot instantly be confirmed. These settings are just what we found to be quite playable after several months of coop gaming with friends and acquaintances - it is naturally subjective so go ahead and play with the values as you like, especially "skillEnemy=" and "precisionEnemy=" *consider using the "Truemod Veteran Crosshair Add On" as an alternative - see 1.1) One quick side note before we get to the add ons: Add Ons known to be signed have been tagged "[signed]", Add Ons currently not signed are marked as "[unigned]", Add Ons that, in addition, should be loaded by the dedicated server in order to improve stability and/or guarantee a consistent gameplay have been tagged "[@Server]". Add Ons that are compatible with or may enhance gameplay of the Advanced Combat Environment have been tagged "[A.C.E.]".

Armed Assault was and still is great to play. However, ArmA1 sadly never reached its potential limit with so many things that couldn't easily be fixed by the community, such as multiplayer "teleporting" lags, mediocre VOIP, flaws in the basic AI system, et cetera. I was (and still am, to some extend) worried that ArmA2 might turn out the same. However, seeing the effort BIS is putting into patches and community support I spent the money on Armed Assault 2 after all. I might not like the game (yet) but I sure would like to encourage BIS in the way they are currently dealing with the situation. As inconsistent as I now seem with this statement, I am still quite critical towards the game and its rushed release but I am also rather impressed to see BIS is actually struggling to maintain their customer base. ArmA2 will, above all, require massive fixes in terms of performance, stability and AI behaviour. The community will provide for outstanding custom content, no doubt - but it needs a clean and stable base to work on. For me, ArmA2 is the last bastion of "intelligent gaming" (hence the above statement of dire disappointment on its first release date). Most people fancy graphics over content and ease-of-use over long-term complexity and fun. Maybe we can change that by showing off ArmA2's true (and not just its hypothetical) potential. I know it's not worth much, but you got me back and I shall try to get some friends of mine - who loved Operation Flashpoint - to join in as well. All the best of luck with your sales, BIS.

Dear Community, If a company thinks it's okay to release unfinished, bug-ridden products and hopes to compensate for the resulting deficits (many of them detrimental to any essential gameplay) with their community reputation and the promise for future patches and we fall for it once, then shame on them. If such a company were to do the exact same thing, if not worse, a second time and we still fall for it - shame on us. I do now know where the motivation lies in releasing something like that. I do not know why beta testers didn't bother much about e.g. enemy AI walking through walls and not being able to drive along a straight road. But the fact is, this shell of a game, ArmA2, is out now and we shouldn't support that kind of behaviour. After my initial skepticism was more than justified and my disappointment and, well, my resentment towards the hordes of deluded fanboys, who still think they can rationalize their brand loyalty, are outrageously huge I decided to take my leave. Personally, I am done with ArmA altogether for the time being. It was fun while it lasted, and I hope ArmA2 gets the vitally needed community treatment as its predecessor. But, personally, I've had it. By all means: Enjoy the game, if you have the necessary mental flexibility - I know I won't be able to. Thanks to all the industrious, supportive and terribly nice people I've met in here! You made this a great time! I can safely say, by now ArmA2 1.05 and its community mods take the game to life up to its potential. I know this makes me look like I'm a flip-flopping moron - however, I must admit I am hooked on the game and its (now functional) complexity. [31.12.2009, ~6 months after release]

Edit: I'm glad you guys sorted all issues in the most humanistic and reasonable way possible. I'm impressed and full of respect. This mod is a huge contribution to Armed Assault. I'm really looking forward to the updates and A.C.E. sound packs! Thank you, guys!

Right, zGuba! Seems to work just fine! Sorry for bringing it up so very late! Your contributions are very appreciated, so thank you! Also fixed some minor mistakes in the list. Thanks to cole.cz for bringing them to my attention!

Hey Daniel! It's "ACE_FAL_Para" "ACE_20Rnd_762x51_B_FAL"

(The following contribution is rated "S" for satire.) Avibird, I like consoles as long as they stay out of my way when it comes to complex, versatile game concepts really. There are some great console games out there - just not always my cup of tea, so to say. Anyways: Erh...? The console market is bigger, yeah, mostly due to more lucrative prospects and a more easily influenced target group ("Mom, buy me that game, there's a soldier with a funny hat on the cover!") - not to mention the lack of flexibility (which also provides easier customer surveilance, a.k.a. copy protection). As for fixing bugs in console games - It's the other way round, right? May I remind you of Oblivion and its "savegame / difficulty" bug? Ah, the fun we had! Seeing how dedicated BIS is when it comes to community support and patch releases, you have to admit, this is an absolute PC tenet. I bet you're not writing your BIS forum post with your X-Box controller, either. Holy Jebus, no! You can't play a simulator with 5 coloured buttons and a fidgety thumb stick. Crysis, which isn't even 1/100th as complex as ArmA was a hilarious example of just how much worse console controls for extended gameplay concepts are. Some servers there even tried to enforce gamepads for PC players in order to join in. I couldn't help but smile. As long as it helps BIS, let the console players spend money on a new game, alright - as they usually do every three weeks or so. But I'd hate to see the controls being vastly deteriorated due to a console lobby. Not to start a discussion about how good or bad these games are but console game developers shouldn't know any "better", so to say. A simple arcade game for a nice evening with friends and beverages - that's what makes consoles great! There are many highly original (yet very simple!) games for consoles out there, and this is where the refuge of the market lies, should the average console users suddenly decide to be weary of the same old schemes over and over again. I understand BIS' decision to release ArmA2 for consoles - and I presume it's a solely monetary one. I don't think they suddenly decided "Hey, let's make a super smart game and release it on a vast market whose primary target group distinguishes itself through playing overpriced, repetitive games that pretend to have good graphics for about three weeks and then buy the next one." Well, that I had to get off my chest :-D (I own a console myself, by the way)

I marked "A.C.E.-compatible*" add ons with an "[A.C.E.]" tag. There may be more, and not all of the designated files may actually be that "useful" to run with A.C.E. but all of them have been tested to work and show their effects whilst playing. Your list of add ons looks quite alright, domokun! *compatible does not merely imply it's not conflicting during gameplay but may also enhance the already vast feature list of the A.C.E. mod.

Mark, thanks for the hard work and the passion you put into your sounds. I haven't heard anything like it in any movie nor in a computer game. The sound scape is blowing my mind. You're an artist. You should go professional, really. Greetings from the lab - I hope I'll be home soon enough! Edit: Whoa, now that's one readme file of a readme file - amazing work, John!

Sorry folks, due to personal reasons I barely have time at the moment. Also, hearing that ArmA2 is said to use SecuROM was a huge motivational kick in the nuts to me. I will definitely add "@ACE" tags to pertaining add ons, but I can't say how up-to-date I can keep the list after each release of another A.C.E. patch. I'm probably going to spend the rest of my free time playing Coops, though. Hope you understand. Sorry. kju, I sent you a pm. Thanks for your input and contributions!

If you are up for a game look in the "Mission planning and team roster" section if any games are being planned. If you want to make your own server and want to "advertise" it post a short description in there yourself. You can also check out Alex' "I want to play!" thread and see if a game gets organized. We are only 19 members at this time but with more and more people joining there should always be a core group or available squad members, even in different time zones.

Hey there! I'm looking for casual players to join my friends and me in our (usually spontaneous) ArmA coop escapades. We guys are from England, Czech Republic and Germany and would be rather happy to get more like-minded squad members for a coop or two. We play in "realistic" settings (no crosshair, no scoreboard). Due to our small numbers we usually go for straight-forward yet challenging single-task coop missions such as this. The only requirement is your own copy of ArmA with the latest version of A.C.E. installed. There's no obligations and no official "joining the group" procedure. Just add me in ICQ or write me a personal message in this forum if you are interested. PS: Erhm, to clarify: I posted this in "Multiplayer" as it's not really a "squad" recruitment. We accept any smart team players for a quick coop game regardless of their current affiliations. If a mod thinks this is better off in the ArmA - SQUADS AND FANPAGES section, then sorry for the fuss! PPS: I created a group for casual ArmA players. Feel free to join and post your games and mission events for pick-up-groups or select individual players.

It adds a vast palette of features and in this thread we do not do his work full justice. I'd suggest (just like with A.C.E.) you check out the mod for yourself and test all of its features. For now, we are only using the "wound/blood/drag feature" system which user Kroky was so kind as to find a way of isolating! As Kroky made a very elaborate description how to initialize the desired features, I took the liberty of quoting him here - please note, that we only use the actual wound/drag system but as far as I could test it, Kroky's optional steps are working just fine, too. Here we go: For a many additional features, please read the full post on page 24. To ensure an optimized game flow use the latest "official" files and make use of zGuba's optimized zSLX which he kindly provided for the community.
