You seriously need to learn how to use custom mod folders. Dumping so much stuff into your game file folders with screw up your game.

Maybe this refers to previous posts but I don't understand what you mean with this statement following your article reference.

Mate, that isn't even a decent rebuttal to his comments. He didn't state that he had issues figuring out how to play. Now, he could be simply trolling, I don't know since I don't play it, but if he is being genuine then it blows that claim out of the water. If you cannot join any active PR server and find that great team play with lots of communication, then it isn't any better in that respect than ArmA 2 is.

LOL I completely overlooked it :p Thanks for pointing out my blonde moment :D ---------- Post added at 07:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:03 AM ---------- In my defense, I never use smoke :P

Seriously? I just don't see the story line allowing you to establish a relationship with your team.

Thanks for trying to explain, though I can't seem to get my head around it. Regardless, thanks for contributing.

Haha, that's great and probably true. America (the government at least) leans too much on the intellectuals who tend to over think and complicate things. Focus too hard on the literal question and miss the simple solution to the greater question. Instead of asking what do we write with they focused on how do we make pens work.

The colors don't matter, they can be used for different things like each team/squad on the mission has a specific color for signaling or something. I simply don't like though that you cannot scroll through and choose which one you will fire. If this is possible someone please tell me. I see that a simple stone is added in some missions so I would guess it might be possible for the mission maker to somehow reassign the slots so that the diff colors can be selected individually. This would add the ability for each color to be used as signal for specific events.

I have to say it again, good Admins equal good game play. I've played on several servers that run Domination missions and it all comes down to booting out people that don't want to play along. The only down side I see to these servers are their requirement to join 3rd party voice comms in order to utilize aircraft. On the surface it seems to be a good idea, but it is a minor hurdle for someone that just wants to jet around in a chopper doing their own thing and worse it tends to cut off communications to individuals not using that voice software and have no interest in using aircraft. Eventually a large number of people are on voice comms and they don't communicate with everyone else, leaving some players, out to dry.

Thanks mate I was playing with the ArmA 1 version till now

It does say that, it is referring to the use of a previous version. Just as long as you use the action menu activation you should be fine.

Please tell me you don't have it on Steam.

you can look to the addons forum, or there are fan sites with listings, I frequent www.Armaholic.com, but there are several others.

rofl.

Vilas, many wear name patches, at least in the US,not any different from uniformed beat cops, SWAT just has additional training to deal with specific types of situations. Names don't really matter, unless you are an undercover investigator, that is where people have real concern for their lives and their families.

Sorry Gnat mate, those studies are not accurate at all. That is like implying that if you get aroused by seeing a naked women on the screen just before she is raped or murdered that you will go out and rape or murder women. They are taking physiological responses to stimuli and attributing a correlation between those responses and violent acts whether they are related or not. As with most studies these days, they are not making objective observations or the evidence but rather looking for evidence that supports their beliefs.

Strange indeed

I certainly agree with that, I think what people are sayin though is that they'd prefer to have missions that are more restrictive (pretty much asking for ACE 2) I don't agree with this. The majority of the servers you mention can only offer that in the timezone that their members play in, otherwise there is no one keeping out the rabble. This is especially true for the clans that have public servers but mostly play on their private servers.

Does refresh not work?

The simple fact is that the game is quite playable as vanilla and there aren't a ton of addons that substantially add to game play. Not everyone likes those addons either so you come to a situation regarding public servers, obviously the owner of the server wants to keep it open and available to the public. Addons, restrict access to those that don't want them. Alex, you don't know what zohar is saying about unfair because you aren't thinking. Even a sound mod can give an unfair advantage over other players depending on how they differ from vanilla. As far as ACE 2 is concerned, that isn't even remotely the same thing. ACE is a single mod (though I do recall them saying portions would be modular) that fundamentally transforms the game, something a simple sound mod (sound is the loudest complaint I've heard abut no mod servers).

Really? You are someone that has not read the thread obviously.

:o: Nobody was criticizing you, they were discussing elements of your mission as they relate to the discussion (as it is a much used mission it made it very relevant), but you come in fussing like a teething infant and calling everyone else immature. Further more, stop painting yourself as some sort of martyr. You didn't invest all of that time developing those missions so that other people could have fun, you developed them so that YOU could have fun, just like everyone else that designs a mission or a mod. What you do for the community is that you SHARE those things with the rest of us once you have finished them. There are many players that absolutely love your missions and their popularity is a testament to that fact. Personally, I'm glad I had the opportunity to play them because they have shown me all that is possible with the game engine and how such things might be achieved. I've even defended your missions because given the right players they can be an amazing exercise in combined arms combat and team play. Unfortunately if anyone even hints at not liking some aspect, you come out swinging. You aren't too old for this shit, just too sensitive. Even if your missions could be identified as a major factor in all of this the blame would still lie squarely with the admins because they choose to run the missions. By choosing not to enforce any type of game play rules and by running missions that make it easy to do the things so sorely lamented in this thread, they encourage it. Admins are not obligated to do any of these things that players in this thread want so their only real recourse is to either join a private server, or host their own. I think what many in this thread are looking to do though is to let people know that this is the kind of game play the are looking for and hoping that someone might try to provide it if they see it is a popular sentiment.

I have to disagree with your transport statement on the grounds that Rambo is more than happy to transport himself. If you have a single individual on the map he will need transport at some point in time. Xeno will start whimpering any time you even look sideways at one of his missions. Some people cannot accept that not everyone is going to like everything you do. It has been said though, you have to have proper admins. Well rounded missions run by proper admins. If you can't manage a coop server, something is very wrong. Personally, coop gets old very fast though because AI does not have independent thought and is easy to exploit and for maximum variety you need public servers, but that's my personal tastes. Admins Admins Admins. It's as simple as that. That is why private servers work so well, because you don't let anyone in that doesn't want to follow the rules. You can't force people to play how you want them to but you can make them play elsewhere.

Also, enjoy when your pc bursts into flames :D
