Things I noticed using the Undead mod a bit. Zombies and my team arent overly aggresive, even with independent turned to friendly to none. Zombies over spawn and slow CPU down, so maybe allow for the user to set the maximum number of spawned zombies, like maybe 25, 50, 75, 100 and so on you know. You think adding them to OPFOR would maybe help with the aggro? Other than that, the main thing I'd like would be able to limit the spawn so your CPU doesnt get bogged down, having a constant of like 100 zombies surrounding you should be fine anyway, if thats what the user sets it to you know. I'm glad your working on it though :) Good luck man, I'm sure everybodies gonna be happy either way EDIT: Another idea, I like the slow zombies, but maybe the fast ones could have less health or something? While the slow ones take more like a headshot to kill, that way it'd balance itself out

Anybody mind updating the Green Beret/Special Forces and Ranger units ACU with the new OA ACU? Or adding the OA ACU to the list of camo for those units? I'd really appreciate it, only guys I ever use are the Rangers.... poor guys are always getting into shenanigans with zombies... good times. Especially when I crash my chopper from the medevac mod, trying to escape. Sorry, only had the game a week still all excited about it lol Links to units: Rangers-http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=9223&highlight=RANGER Green Berets-http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=9269 Sorry lol, I guess it would be kinda helpful to have the link to what I'm talking about huh

Yes I do... but I disabled it because it keeps popping up credits to it whenever I start the game. Which kinda slows it down a bit and gets on my nerves lol. I'll go turn that back on and check, I have the Taliban unit from Lost Brotherhood too, its saying its missing stuff, maybe that'll fix that too. Could you take out the CBA help .pbo and that fix the message you get from it at startup? Just wondering cause I was looking through it before I installed it again ---------- Post added at 01:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 AM ---------- I'm still fiddling with it, but it doesnt look like thats gonna work. Still getting the message. I have CBA and the Extender turned on now. Its giving me the message I'm missing the CAWeapons3 for a couple of things though. It showed it for another mod while I was messing with it

I'm getting the message "Addon "Extended_EventHandlers' requires addon 'CAWeapons3' " I dunno how to fix that, I download the Eventhandlers to get the steerable parachute to work and now I'm getting that weapons missing message. Also, I downloaded Ciphers mission, I can play it just fine, I'll get near somebody and it says something, cant remember exactly what, about some unit/weapons missing so I click ok and then it goes along fine again. If I die and have to reload I cant load my save it tells me downloaded content is missing. It doesnt have anything to do with patching then loading an old save game, I think the the mod and that mission is using a weapon pack I dont have and that they dont have listed as needed. If anybody knows I'd appreciate it, I just got Arma OA the other day and finally figured how to use mods, so I'm trying to get all the stuff I downloaded sorted out before I start playing. Also, is there gonna be a way to install ACE for OA without using the six-updater thing? I go to the site for it but I cant find where to download it, so I'm waiting till they release it by itself

Tier one is DEVGRU and Delta, there probably are more from the other branches and all, but thats the main two. I love the units though man, especially the guy on the far left, and the one thats standing on the far right. Somebody needs to redo all the Spec Ops units now that OA is out, kinda off topic sorry, we could get the Rangers using the OA ACU and then with these guys we'd have a whole lot of options instead of basic Infantry :)

I love Arma 2 and OA so yeah I'd buy stuff for them. Only if it came to stores though in some kinda bundle, I hate buying invisible stuff you know.

Hey guys, if you have the box version of Combined Arms, where and how do you install and use mods? I thought I read somewhere they updated it so can enable/disable mods from the games menu, but how do you install them correctly to CO?

So how would you go about adding mods to the retail version of CO? I heard OA made it easier to manage mods so you dont have to mess with the shortcuts command lines anymore, so you just drop it in a folder in the Arma2 folder I guess?

Tricks of the trade then huh... lol I couldnt rearm either, just turned it off after like 3 or 4 restarts from it timing me out.

They need to try something along the lines of Americas Army, or Project Reality for BF2. As in, semi-realistic but fast enough to be able to have some type of action going on, whether transporting troops and supplies, doing recon and FAC work, or just sneaking in and taking a town the enemy left unguarded. I wouldnt want it to be another BF or CoD, but I'd like it to run as smooth as them atleast.... I think what it is, not only the big environments, but EVERY game I've played that has destructible worlds, ala Soldner if you guys played that, run slow, just because they have so much else going on besides the actual combat and things, the buildings and trees are trying to always decide whether they should explode or not lol. So yeah, my votes in :) I played a few rounds of multiplayer, and it was freakin awesome, up until we got to our NPC enemies and nobody could hit them because of the games lag, we were all fine, just the npcs were laggin. Thank God we had a guy in an attack chopper.... lag doesnt mess so much with big booms, they usually hit anyway :)

Beagle... yes... just yes, you win man :) Remember... only YOU, can stop Arab crotch fires

Any word on a time for a demo of OA yet? Sorry I know theres a search... *points at self* but you know... lazy American :)

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask first of all. Anybody know if you can make a mission where you start out in a helicopter with your squad, it drops you off somewhere then leaves? Also, can you link up a helicopter support so that you can call for a pick-up, or atleast control a helicopter not in your squad so you can give it a disembark command atleast? I tried the commander and subordinate modules, but the units I made subordinate had kinda weird icons, and didnt seem to be linked at all to the units they were meant for, they would accept orders, then just stand there, and eventually say something like "cannot comply". If anybody can help I'd appreciate it, I'd like to be able to set-up airborne drop ins out of the choppers and have a good reliable way to get a chopper extract. EDIT. Just saw no editing questions here.... anybody mods mind to move this to the right place please? Sorry about that

I wish I had friends like that..... from his perspective of you buying it for him, and also from yours by you thinking he'd actually play it with you. All my friends were going on about the original Halo, while I was trying to tell them about BF2.... they just didnt get it, so I'd hate to "try" to explain Arma to them :confused:

Right click and run as admin, if that dont work right click and troubleshoot compatibility. I havent gotten the game yet, but thats kinda stuff that I've had to do to other games, I think Win 7 hates DRM too, so if it has any that might stop it. For example, I have the Witcher, it wouldnt start up no matter what I did to it, I downloaded a patch for it that disabled the DRM, worked fine after that. I've only had Win7 for a few weeks now, so I'm still figuring stuff out too, hope that helps some though.

http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=1552 Try this one out, sounds kinda like what you want. I only have the demo though cause I'm waiting on upgrading my comp... so I really have no clue lol EDIT: Wait.... is that mod Arma 1 only? I think it is, I guess try ACE and somebody else said, SLX had something like that too. Once again... I really dont know lol, I'm just looking for one too so I'll have it when I get the game.

Yeah its coming soon.... on a side note, doesnt it seem like every free people has had to fight off Persia? (aka Iran) Man I havent heard about them calling in all their troops though, sounds like both sides are waiting for the other to make a move now, might not mean one side is going to attack, their both just expecting the other too. I'm sure all of Israels enemies are shaking right now though, they pissed Israel off and now their just waiting for their ass whipping :) Either way, maybe the IDF Mahal will finally take me lol that or the Marine Corp. Cause the shit is just about to hit the fan, I dunno if you're religious or not, but if you are you might take all this as a sign the shit thats about to hit the fan is the main shit, the shit to end all shit so to speak lol. If only we had a real President, not a socialist traitor whose destroying the country from within, maybe we'd back Israel and with a show of force and support we could avoid the whole situation. You remember though when one of the Israelis soldiers got kidnapped a few years ago? They raided the place where they thought he was with tanks, troops, airstrikes, everything. Israel doesnt mess around, they cant afford to with everybody wanting them dead so badly, so Israel might make the first move and if they do I wouldnt blame them. Question is, how will the UN and everybody else feel though? I thought their purpose was to prevent WW3, but them criticizing Israel for attacking a Trojan horse of a flotilla shows how much sense they have... Don't think I'm hoping for this either, its just unless your blind, you gotta know its coming.

I hope they do make the DLC available in stores, like in a bundle or something. I hate things like Steam, I tried a demo on it once and I never used it again. But maybe downloading from BIS own site straight to where you installed the game would work, might be too much trouble though because you'd have to have BIS accounts and register the game and everything.

I havent gotten to read up on that yet actually. So I guess their making a playable Brit faction? I'm American, I wouldnt buy it anyway :p. So thats cool if they are, I'd think unless they put in new UK arms and vehicles with the units it should be free though.

The only reason I HATE DLC is because most games come out at release with some already ready. in other words, they leave stuff out of the game you just paid for in order to charge you more. So, if they dont leave whole chapters out of the game (Assassins Creed 2) just for DLC, and they just come up with new stuff *after* the game is done, and its something worth paying for, not a new set of camo or something. So, as long as its something brand new after release, and pretty expansive, yeah why not? They know when their ripping you off though, so as long as they dont rip us off.

I like the SEALs, but in Vietnam they wore blue jeans, the camo they were issued tore and held mud, so they just wore tight levi blue jeans, they wouldnt tear and if they got muddy wouldnt screw them over as bad. Its weird I know....

Hey Someguywho, that video was awesome, went right with the song man... ending was perfect

Just got done testing out my gf's 9500 gt on my new comp, I get 21 FPS on the benchmark, and so far on the demo (gonna buy after I fix up comp) it runs just fine for me, doesnt really lag at all, unless I get in a chopper and fire a whole bunch of missiles. My Specs are: AMD Dual Core 1.6 ghz 4GB RAM Win 7 64bit and her 9500 gt with I think 1gb ram on it. I'm sure it would lag sometime pretty bad, but like I said, its not noticeable. How much difference in FPS would I get though in a 9800? just compared to the 9500, how much of an upgrade is that, cause that might be the one I get.

Yeah I dont think I'll be making missions with 1000 guys on it, I get shot up enough by one guy lol. Found another powersupply by Antec I think I'm about all set now :) I was going to get my stuff from Bestbuy but I could get the card and the power *plus* a new cpu for about $10 less on Newegg than the same exact card and power from Bestbuy.

Lol yeah Leon one of the options I'm thinking of now too is just take the whole thing back and build my own. I really wasnt planning on doing much to this thing but once you start with one thing... kinda get caught up in it lol. Thanks for the advice about the power, I'll find another one, there were so many brands up there I didnt know which were reliable and which were just total crap so that helps out a ton. So a good corsair 400w would be alright for that card? I think main issue now is finding good power, I might just leave the cpu alone for awhile and see how it does.
