    superpowers

    You know... I have no idea!
  2. Why hello there, I'm Jaenus! You might remember me from such posts as "Give our helicopters a "land here" command!" or "We need a way to favorite MP servers!" Well I have another suggestion for an issue -- an issue that I'm sure all of you have suffered! You load up a transport truck with 13 soldiers and yourself. You're driving alone and RAT-TI-TAT-TAT! Some buggery insurgent (OPFOR/BLUFOR) shoots into your truck and kills poor soldiers 1,3,4,6,8,9 and 10. So now on your soldier bar you have 2,5,7 ...then you have to push F12 to get to the next slide where you only have 11,12,13,14! GEE WIZ! Wouldn't it be nice if 11,12,13,14 became the NEW 1,3,4 and 6? I mean, no offense to our fallen comrades, but uh, can we consolidate our forces some to save on the constant F11 / F12 jumping? This has happened to me numerous times, where I have 10 soldiers, and 5 are on one slide and 5 on another. So yea, vote for consolidation of our troops! Help 11,12,13 and 14 become the new 1,3,4 and 6! They'll thank you!

    LAN with another computer in my house

    I know the game will downgrade if it's an illegal copy... err, but um technically you wouldn't be running that. Good question, hope you get an answer!
  5. Hi all, I was wondering if there's a chart available for weapons, specifically damage and such. The reason I'm wondering this is because for the OPFOR, an RPG7 costs less than an RPG18, but an RPG18 soldier costs less than a RPG7 soldier. What does more damage? I'd assume the 18 does, but there are no stats. Anyone know a good chart with some stats?

    superpowers

    A fellow believer! When I first started I was like, OMG, Civil War and Superpowers is the best. Now mind you I never played ARMA1 or OFP, so to me this was all new, and it was gravy! That said, I've since played online and played Benny's mod. 1 word sums it up : AMAZING. The guy is brilliant. I play on his MP player server. Go online, sort by type. Find CTI maps and look for XR server #1. That's where he, and I, are. It's Superpowers with mods - more guns, more vehicles. It's awesome. :D PS: The NPC will rape you in Benny's mod. Be warned! PPS: As for the [iCED] version, I've never experienced any of those bugs on the NON-ICED versions. Maybe it's just that mod?

    ArmA 2 worth buying?

    I never played the demo - I hate demos, and I hear that the ARMA2 demo is horrid and players actually DONT want to play the game because the demo is so hard. That said, I just bought the game. There's a lot of bugs, go into the purchase knowing that, however its a fantastic game and getting better. I'm glad I bought it, now if they can just fix up these bugs :D
  8. To be honest I'd really like to see a button able to be pushed, perhaps even NUMPAD keys? In a ton of RTS games, it's SO useful to hit 1 then click on a target and all your AT guys attack. Maybe suggestion?
  9. Thanks Sniper :) I'll try 0811 out now!
  10. Quick question! Here is my command line: C:\Games\ARMA2\ArmA2Server.exe -port=2302 -name=Serious Business -config=server.cfg -cfg=Arma2.cfg -profiles=default.arma2profile.cfg When I start it up, I get this error: No Entry 'Arma2.cfg.3D_Preformance' What's this mean and how do I get rid of it? Does it hurt anything?
  11. I'd like to thank everyone who replied first and foremost. Second, I'd like to thank Jman. He's done so much work for this community in making setting up a dedicated server easier. Without him or his tutorials I wouldn't be this far.
  12. Update: Thankfully, due to the computer's awkwardness in landing and their too-frequent crashing, I've become a much much better pilot. Nevertheless, yes, a simple "land here" command would be super. Heck, even through in some rope so the guys can slide out of it. No offense or anything, but I shouldn't have to look towards player-made mods to make this game ....er.... "fun"? Don't get me wrong, I was having a lot of fun without the mods, but once I played them I realized THIS is what ARMA2 should be, default.

    Climb over tall obstacles

    Good idea. To simplify this they could add in a ladder or grappling hook for players so we could get on wall/buildings, even up in trees? Talk about a good sniper position!

    Bayonet/knife poll

    I voted yes for both, however I do agree that there are many, many more things that the devs need to fix, and I mean NEED TO FIX before they spend time on knives. We have an entire BOOK on bugs that need to be fixed before they should work on adding in new stuff.
  15. But how do you get them to stop at the point you tell them to move to? I tell them to move somewhere and theyre flying all over the place.

    Multiple crashes in Badlands

    You know ... the couple times I've crashed I've been in HC mode - but this was during online MP "Civil War"
  17. I've been playing for a few days and have noticed the following. My friends and I would load up the MP "Civil War" or "Superpowers" and coop. 1) Whilst in command: If a squad leader is killed, his squad icon is removed from the commander's HUD and never comes back, eventually leaving you with a less-than-actual display. I've had 5 units (3 human, 2 npc) and within a couple hours we were down to only 1. 2) During a game crash (not host), when you try to come back in and join the game as your previous unit (and after further testing - any unit on your own side) you won't be able to a) see any faction icons on the map b) use any building options (build/buy). We tried to reload the map and it'll drop you as soon as the host gets in game, however you can then get back into the game but the above #2 still occurs - no map/functions - even after a fresh load of a previously saved map. Funny enough, if you try playing as the opposite team (the USA in this case) you can see the map, faction icons and buy items/etc just fine. 3) The computer AI is able to assign the "CAPTURE" task, however human commanders cannot? Also I've noticed that it's impossible to delete a TASK once given. 4) Sometimes the terrorists in the town are bugged and stay there, untouchable. Meanwhile your NPCs spend countless ammo on the bugged target. - Again, this has all been experienced in the multiplayer version being run by a friend's computer, the same one he's playing on, not a dedicated server. The two maps in question are Civil War and Superpowers - we were running no active mods. *** UPDATE *** A couple days and a few games later: We've tried getting around the problem loading saved games. No luck. You simply cannot save a game in multiplayer and then reload that game with any success. This is definitely a bad bug, and one that is really hurting our enjoyment of this game (and subsequently our "word of mouth" to our friends). If one of us crashes we have to start a whole new game, because that person won't be able to go back into the game with any functionality at all.
  18. Yea, I figured no one would know. I looked all over and nothing. Bugger.
