Thread cleaned up. This discussion as to the censorship of the mod is to end now. The pressuring of the I44 team, such as by banning them from community websites, to which I say I'm extremely disappointed in the attitudes of those involved, is to end now. Anyone who brings it up again, as this is now my third time saying it is to stop, will receive post restrictions. Now, stay on topic please.

If I recall correctly, though, the AI can't use the roads, some buildings are sunk into the ground or missing, and ladders don't work. So there's still a little hassle involved with the current version out there, for mission makers mainly it seems.

No, this doesn't. This does, though. ;)

This. :)

Why didn't you just play each song until you found it? :confused:

I'll quote myself again because people seem to have missed it: Drop the subject lest ye receive an infraction, please.

Jeeze, even running my E8400 overclocked to 3.6GHz caused slight stability issues. Have you got some mega cooling keeping yours from exploding on you? :eek:

Yup, I understand what you mean, I just used IC/CF as an example because they're the group I've had a positive experience with. I've been in many other smaller clans I'm deliberately not mentioning the names of, and I have not had a positive experience with any of them, and none of them had a reputation of being bad when I looked at joining them. Anyway, I don't want to have to keep this idea of being forced to join a clan if you want to hope to have a good MP experience. Everyone complains that public MP these days suck, and yet hardly anyone makes an effort to try and make it better. I'll say it again because after reading that I'm sure it's the first thing that will pop into peoples' mind - I would personally try if I had the resources to do so.

I just want to be able to hop into a small 10-player coop with a specific objective and outcome, and cooperate with my new fellow players until we reach said objective. I don't want to jump into a server where no one is talking to anyone and there is no set objective outside of "take town X and wait for orders to take town Y", which is every single public server I've tried in the last two days. True, I'll give you that. As mentioned before, I don't have the ability to own my own server. In regards to joining a community, I've been in many in the past and have yet to have more than a couple positive experience with them. My best times were with the IC:ArmA/CF:Arma 2 community. I've kinda given up on the clan front. Right now I play the occasional game with the Casual ArmA Players, or OFP with some friends. Yup, I do too. I just never find them online. But my point is there need to be good unlocked servers, too.

Public server attitudes haven't changed from what they were in ArmA, and I frequented public servers back then pretty much every day, playing anything from large Evolution matches to small, organized coops playing SimHQ's missions. Servers like Tactical Gamer's managed to do this on their server back then. But I think I see the problem here - the common viewpoint of the MP community now is that public servers are full of nothing but "rambos". There are two things to say about this: 1) Organize and control your servers better. As I said, TG managed to do it with a little effort. 2) There are many, many people willing to play an organized coop on a public server. You just have to tell them that's what you want to do. Again, TG did this perfectly.

Please search before posting. Many people have come here in the past querying why they were banned from Armaholic or other community websites. These forums are not for that, which you would have found from your search. You would also have found that you should try contacting Foxhound, Armaholic's owner, with such queries. Thread locked.

The problem with doing that is it creates the potential to break missions made for ArmA's Sahrani when they're inevitably ported to the new one, unless you make specific precautions to not change the island so much.

Lol, then what would be the point in selling ArmA? :rolleyes:

In that case why not just place a few AI around a town with Search & Destroy waypoints, put you in the center, and then try to clear it out? ;)

Please search before posting next time. This should have been posted in the user mission section as it has nothing to do with addons. I've moved the thread to the appropriate place. Please be more careful, thanks. :)

Nothing on my end. :confused:

As PacUK says, guys, drop it. It's up to him and his fellow team members to decide to make any "censored" version of the mod.

If I had money of my own to spend on purchasing a server, I would, as I've said before. Doesn't exactly help get variety out there though, does it? Believe me, I am. They just aren't in releasable state yet. ;) Problem is that when I release them, it's likely that they'll be played once and suddenly everything's back to the same 4 or so missions. Great smaller coops and PvP missions are released all the time, especially from groups like LDD Kyllikki, but hardly anyone plays them. It's not like there's a lack of selection.

No, he's smart because discussions of reverse-engineering BIS' products are not allowed here. The DLC content is all protected with a type of encryption different to that of previous games, one that has not publicly been circumvented. As PuFu rightly said, if these files weren't encrypted it would be very easy for all to get their hands on content they would otherwise need to pay for. Until BIS decides otherwise, the only files you can access are in the Common folder.

Of course, technology-wise they're very different, but the concepts remain largely the same, and none of them follow any real storyline or goal outside of conquering the whole map. I've played so much Berzerk/Valhalla, Evolution, Domination, Warfare and Sahrani/Chernarus/Zargabad Life that each time I play it now just seems like more of the same (not blaming the makers at all for anything here, people still love playing the missions), and I have very few choices other than them. I long for missions like the Brothers In Arms series for the FDF mod in OFP, or some good zombie coops. Sadly no one plays those kind of missions anymore at all.

Well, when I looked there were only about 3 or 4 with more than 10 players, followed by about 5 with 10 players, and then many, many others that had fewer and fewer people. This was running the latest beta with the BAF and PMC DLCs, and no mods. But it doesn't really matter how many people are playing when you don't want to play the same 3 or 4 missions that they're playing, which is out of our control.

I decided to check out Arma 2 MP yesterday after a couple months of not doing so, and yes, the majority of players are confined to about 4 servers playing missions I'm not interested in playing anymore considering they're the same missions that have been played since Armed Assault, and the others are doing the same just with fewer and fewer people. Thus my hiatus has been extended it seems. Rarely these days can you find public servers offering small coops or PvP missions, which really is a shame.

It'll either be because the mission does not contain a briefing.html file, or in the description.ext file there is the entry debriefing=0. As far as I'm aware those are the only two ways you can prevent a debriefing.
