Hey! I'm 27 years old, long time (10+ years) ArmA veteran from Finland coming back to the game once more after a long hiatus. What I'm looking for is a Europe based unit playing teamwork/realism oriented COOP. I'm open to different mods and settings - modern day, WW2, Vietnam, Cold War, BLUFOR, OPFOR, Guerrilla, PMC, Star Wars, 40K - anything goes! In my current situation, I'm not able to commit to a fixed timetable or make promises of being able to attend trainings or operations on a strict basis, so groups with strict attendance requirements or training schedules are of the table for now. I'd be looking to play maybe one or two few hour ops per week or every couple of weeks. As mentioned, I'm a seasoned ArmA veteran all the way from OFP, so I should know my way around. I'm familiar with the most popular mods, albeit I haven't played with ACE, TFAR or such in years. I have experience from playing in different groups from serious milsim/rp to some very casual "friends having beers and playing some ArmA every now and then". I have a lot of experience from making missions. I haven't made anything for a larger group nor do I have much experience in Zeusing, but both would be something I might be interested to look into in the future. My main interest is infantry combat, but I'm familiar with vehicles as well and can do some rotary- or fixed- wing flying. I have some experience in squad leading - both from ArmA and real life. I'm based in Finland and have some military experience (Finnish Defence Forces, Guards Jaeger Regiment, MP Staff Sergeant) and I'm working as a game developer - I'm quite interested in ArmA modding and mission scripting as well. Hope to hear from you soon! tl;dr: experienced arma veteran looking for a group in Europe, playing coop with no strict commitment to attendance quotas or schedules.

Great work DAP! Your script is nearly perfect. After you get it working in MP there are only a couple of thinngs you could give a look at. First, the moving in the plane is quite strange. I know there's not much to do about it in addition to tweak the moving speeds or something and it's not a big deal, but something I have noticed. Also it would be cool to see a red light turning on when the ramp opens and a green light when the soldiers jump. Maybe you could use the attachTo command to attach a red/green light or flare to the cargo hold of the plane? I'm sorry to ask things like that, but these are some things I thought that could improve your script even more. Besides, I'm horrible at scripting 8D Awesome work! Absolutely great.

Amazing! Thank you DAp. Your instructions seem quite straight forward. I'm sure we'll find use for your scripts.

I tried the script and it works wonderfully! It would be cool to have some kind of tutorial, how to use this for our own missions (if it's okay to you of course). By the way, I have no idea if this has anything to do with the script or not, but I noticed that if you open the parachute too late and the character ends up upside down to the ground, the parachute mysteriously explodes killing everyone around you. This happened to me once and was really weird because I have seen nothing like this happening before. Not a big problem though.

Wow! If it really works with the AI, this is something totally awesome! Downloading the example mission now.

I downloaded your mission and tried it because I like the concept and how you've managed to make this mission without zombie addons. I tried the former Degeneration, but it was too heavy for my computer. Now I've got a new rig and got this REDUX working quite well. I had some fps drop after a while, but it was nothing I couldn't handle. The problem is that this mission seems to be quite impossible. It starts, then I have less than a minute time to find a weapon and then the zombies come and kill me :D I usually end up running from them, but eventually they catch me or I try to shoot them. The point is that I get too easily outnumbered. I tried escaping with a car, but cars have usually very little fuel so it doesn't very good either. Could anyone give me some good tips how to survive a little longer? I would like to play this mission, but at the moment killing and running from endless zombies with or without a weapon seems to be too hard for my taste :D

Yeah, I see. What's wrong? What happened to Charon, if I may ask? :/

I tried downloading and installing this version of the mod a couple of times. Every time I open ArmA 2 it gives the "No entry" -error like this: "No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/CHN_UNDEAD_MALE.scope'." Then when I try to make a mission, it doesn't show the Undead or zombie modules, or any zombie or infected units in the menus. What to do? Is the 0.9 broken somehow? Anyone else getting this error? Please help, and thanks for advance!

Whoa! This was the scariest god damn ArmA 2 mission ever 8D I just played it through during a beautiful summer day, but I still was really on my toes during the whole time. The darkness, and the depressing music creates really spooky atmosphere and when you hear the spooky moan of a zombie just behind you, it really freaks you out 8D Very well done. I also liked the story and the background. The diary and the letter to the wife really made the character and the story more interesting. Good job overall. Now I have to check out your other missions 8)

As a matter of fact I have already exported the pbo and viewed the mission in the editor. It shouldn't bee hard to add some playable PMCs or make the existing PMCs playable. Only problem is that we would need a permission from Genesis92x to do so. I was looking mostly for a public server. It seems like there aren't any. At least I couldn't find any...

I also get the "cannot load texture" -error, but it doesn't seem to affect the gameplay itself. Zombies will take a while to spawn and even a longer while to reach your location. You can't find weapons from houses. You find them from abandoned vehicles or from corpses. Is there anyone hosting this mission by the way? I'd love to play this, but unfortunately my computer is so weak that the mission looks more like a slideshow than a game when I host myself 8D

Wow! This mission is insane! The gameplay is awesome, I could play this for hours! And I love the atmosphere! The immersion is great. I love how the boring roadblock duty can turn into bloody battle in just a matter of seconds! Nuff said, this is one goddamn awesome mission 8) I just wish there was a non-ace version of this. I also would love to see a Chernarus-version for vanilla ArmA 2. If there's something you could improve, you could add a radio or jukebox to the roadblock, so you could listen some music while on duty. It would add immersion even more in my opinion. Great work!

Whoa! This might be one of the coolest script commands/variables whatever! Though it's quite complicated. I can just imagine, what people will do with this. Great tool for making machinimas and so on... Thanks everyone who posted demo missions or instructions, how to use this awesomeness!

Wow... This looks awesome. The city is going to require a lot of work and my computer will probably die if I try to run it, but still, I'm totally looking forward to this! Oh and by the way. The rangers look outstanding!

I hope there was, but a lot of people have been looking for this with no success. The Generation Kill mod team is developing a system where you can shoot inside cars, but I don't know how it's coming. Maybe you should check their status?
