well heres my 2 pence worth, hoping that some devs will take it as feedback... The new animations look good and im sure they will be useful. It looks like the head bob is turned down or off in the e3 footage, as long as head bob is still included thats cool. The only thing that is really bothering me is the transition from the end of one animation to the beggining of the next is still a little Jerky and instantanious. I thought animations where going to blend in to each other. The only other thing although less important is when the charactor is entering a vehicle there is no animation and it just teleports.

Let's hear what those involved in the USS Liberty incident had to say, then each of us can make up their own minds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6TdhlDTog8&feature=channel_video_title

Yes interesting bunch the Mossad. It's funny that the MSM doesn't repeat the expose aired just after 911 about the Israeli spy rings and the 5 dancing Israeli's seen celebrating the first plane hit the tower, whom where later arrested in a truck full of explosives on the George Washington bridge on 9/11/2001. Not to mention the False Israeli intelligence about Iraqi Anthrax which was part of the lie's that led to the Iraq war. I wasn't really surprised to here about their latest adventures. These guy's have incredible audacity but not in a good way, more of an arrogance really. The Israeli's have a history with false flag terrorism. When the Irgun bombed the King David hotel, they did it dressed as Arabs. Come to think of it, i think the Israeli's pioneered Terrorism in it's modern form. Ironic isn't it. Well i expect nothing to change. I expect Israel's allies to continue the Irrational unconditional support of the Rogue state who's un official, official policy is Ethnic Cleansing, Racism and brutality. Lets not be naive, the US is likely to go to war for Israel again, and again many innocents will die. But hey nobody seems to give a toss about Civilians, especially if they live in the middle east. It's a sad world we live in. Good thread Walker, Happy New Year btw Edit ; Kind Regards ;)

Even if hand to hand combat is not intended to be in Vanilla Arma 3, please make it possible, and as easy as possible to implement such things as an addon. The same goes for the development tools, anything that makes it easier to make an addon and get it in game i'm all for it. Oh and i hope it is easier to install and setup the tools and folders next time. BIS, it would be great if you could join all the tools, Visitor, Oxygen, Binpbo, etc in to one software that just sets everything up and extracts the necessary pbo's in to the project folders automatically via exe.

@walker Thanks for the info, will keep the book in mind. I've got to much to read at the moment so it will have to wait for a rainy day. Also i need to find the motivation to read a book about business or economics from cover to cover. Like Ken Watanabe i also prefer "a good conversation" to a book that will inevitably be to hard to digest for the un initiated. I like you choice of news media btw ;)

Hi, If you plan on getting in to Arma2, play online and take advantage of all of it's community made addons, i recommend using the six updater software. It basically enables you to install and update addons and synchronize your various addons with the server you plan to join with just a few clicks. It also automatically installs the CBA files which the addons are dependent on (community based add-ons). I think it also filters out addons and highlights them as being Incompatible, if they conflict with other addons you have installed. Also you can setup presets, so you can have one preset for a particular set of addons or server and others along side it. Have Fun =) http://six.dev-heaven.net/wagn/Six_Updater

Looking forward to RF2, the modding community is great for this sim =). hope to make my first Car mod for RF2. My only concern is how good the physics engine is going to be. It looks good, but the movement of the vehicle in the trailers doesn't seem to compare to Iracing for example. Maybe their is a reason for it like the track not being laser scanned or something. I hope the tire model will live up to expectations.

Was anybody else looking forward to MGS Rising? I thought the original teaser looked so cool... I can't believe the original concept has been cancelled only to be replaced by this cartoony hack and slash "MGS revengance" by Platinum Games. It looks like Kojima regrets the decision to cancel in this video, which looks a lot like a repentance vlog. Lol, maybe he will change the name to MGS repentance.

@Innomadic Which trailer are you talking about?. Yes if it's the new one by platinum games, it looks like a mess, i totally agree. I only like the e3 2010 trailer and original concept for Rising by Kojima Productions btw. The 2010 trailer, only showed the cutting and action side of the game play. Don't you think it looked good in 2010 ?. What was not shown but is talked about by Shigenobu Matsuyama, was the hunting stealth aspect of the game play, which you would have seen if they had finished the game. After all in essence, a ninja is stealthy, which is essentially what the Raiden character is based on, like grey fox. Don't take my word for it, check out this presentation. The producers talk about stealth in Rising and the difference between snake and Raidens stealth abilities. from 4:17 onwards. @Innomadic Why not, MGS2 was'nt so bad. Don't assume that because this time Raiden is ninja like that the game play would have become completely unrecognisable like Revengance has unfortunately become. It depends on how you define what makes it recognizable as a MGS game. The thing that stands out about MGS games to me, is the choices you are given in how you can play the game. Even with snake, you could run and gun, or sneak, you could kill like a maniac or just knock out your enemies. Along with these and other very clever and quirky elements the games become clearly recognisable as a Kojima, Kojima productions or MGS game. In the content that was presented and talked about in 2010 their was enough to show that the game was in the spirit of MGS. You will not find any of these elements in the new Platinum games title, Revengance. Also Check out this short interview with the art director of Rising (Yoji Shinkawa) for some clues about the nature of the original rising. He is also the Art director for the whole MGS series from Mgs1 onwards, in case you didn't know. @Innomadic They didn't give a good enough reason to justify why they cancelled the original Rising IMHO. The doubt about the gameplay sounds like an excuse to me, it was probably mainly due to the ambitious fox engine and cutting mechanic causing technical problems, making it impossible to complete the game without stopping to spend more time to tweak the fox engine. It's the only reason i can find to explain why they would drop such a good looking idea, that they had been hinting at since MGS1 special missions with the grey fox level and the ninja vr missions in substance. Am i the only MGS fan that was really looking forward to finally playing as the ninja?. I would have payed good money for what they showed at e3 2010, but hey, that's just my opinion. Anyways, bottom line is Rising was a completely different beast to what recently became Revengace. I get the feeling your looking at the latter as defining the direction the game was going in from the start, which is not accurate. We missed out on something that could have been great. Oh well , Roll on MGS5... or perhaps Metal Gear 1 the remake ;) ---------- Post added at 04:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:29 PM ---------- @RobertHammer. I hope your right, outer heaven looks a likely suspect for the next MGS game. Throw in grey fox as a side character and the fox engine and the cutting mechanic from rising... and Kojima will be close to redeeming himself for this recent unprecedented fuck up i think. =)

Misunderstood what?, Sopa is not specifically for the benefit of the music industry, but protection for more than one type of "product" is it not?. My concern is how far it will reach, and if it will be misused for censorship.

@SiC-Disaster, Tried it, loved it =) thanks for the heads up. If you guys like this, check out class3 by undead labs. A zombie MMO thats being developed for the xbox. http://undeadlabs.com/

Yep, i hear what your saying walker, products are escaping left right and centre. It is clearly a problem and their is some justification for the bill. But to clarify my question to you (somebody whom clearly has an understanding of this subject).. is it not conceivable that copyright is being used as an excuse for censorship?. Will Whistle blowers and dissidents still be safe? or is this a new way to reach them, being created under the guise of protecting intellectual property. Material unfavourable to the government on upload and streaming sites certainly won't be safe. Lets see how quickly it will be clamp down on. After all, this comes on the heels of the emergence of wiki leaks. It was fairly predictable. Anyway, time will tell as to how ambiguous the law will be and if it will be twisted and abused for the purpose of censorship.

Sorry to correct you, but it was originally called "Metal Gear Solid Rising" see 1.34 of the E3 2010 trailer. And was sub titled as "lightning bolt action". If you check out the interview with the original producer/director of the game from e3 2010, they talk about the "zan datsu" concept "cut and take", and the "Hunting stealth" game play concept for rising. It was originally intended to be a stealth game with sword elements. If you have ever played the ninja charactors in MGS special missions or MGS2 substance, you get a feel for how this game could of turned out. If you watch the last video, the Kojima productions staff explain what happened to the original rising. It was developed on the fox engine and due to technical difficulties they could only get 20 frames per second out of this game , probably due to the new cutting mechanic, which generated real time cuts in objects. Also Kojima and all of his staff all shared the feeling that the game play was incomplete and they just could not find the inspiration to flesh it out in to a complete game i guess. So they gave up and shipped over the game to platinum games. The new game revealed only a week or so ago, is now called Metal gear Revengance, and has no resemblance to the original Rising as far as i am concerned. The original game looked very much like a Metal gear Solid game to me, and had silky smooth animations and such a cool cutting mechanic. The game Revengance looks, feels and operates nothing like the original. Even the cutting is done by canned animations and not generated by the game engine like in Rising. Don't be fooled, Rising was cancelled. Revengance is not anything like Rising. Kojima copped out.

@Walker Hi, would you agree that the bill is intended for more than just protecting intellectual property? I think this bill is likely to be engineered in such away that it can be interpreted in any way that benefits the establishment to censor dissent or any other undesirable site or source.

.....

LoL XD I am not from that neck of the woods, but i have heard about Sarah Palin, she has made a name for herself on a global scale. LoL. She must have good funding or something because she couldn't have got in to politics by merit.

Waiting for Hillary Clinton to make a Immoral joke. maybe her public image advisor got to her in time eh.

Well it's no surprise this is happening. It's not all about Copyright. Copyright is also another tool to censor media incriminating to the US government from reaching an audience in which it will have a profound impact...the American tax payers and voters , as well as a global audience. Youtube has enough credible evidence and investigative documentary's about 911 (amongst the crap of course) to warrant a new independent investigation. This will not be allowed to happen. For example, the work of Architects and Engineers for 911 truth. Uploaded on Youtube are documentary's by real Journalists like John pilger and Robert Fisk whom expose Misconduct and brutality by the US military as well as the crusader and expansionist aspirations of right wing US politicians, Zionists and the Israeli government, (the same group of people that engineered the Iraq war and are trying to lay a bum rap on Iran). Censoring youtube is of high priority because of how wide an audience can be reached as opposed to obscure websites in dark corners of the internet. Imagine if the US public knew more about the ethnic cleansing of Palestine and simultaneous birth of Israel and continued oppression and brutality toward the Palestinians. Or perhaps zionist terrorist acts like the Bombing of the King David hotel whilst dressed as Arabs, or the Lavon Affair, or the Attack on the USS Liberty in an attempt to fool the US in to attacking Egypt, or how about the Mossad operatives caught on 911 with vans full of explosives, later released back to Israel on immigration violation charges. Or the power of AIPAC a foreign agent in the US... How many Americans bar the Christian zionists, will allow their tax dollars to be given to Israel, whom cannot survive economically without it?. We have also seen the power of the internet with the "Arab spring" protest and revolutions as well as the occupy movement. This is just to scary for our keepers, hence Sopa is the beginning of the end. It's ok we will just have to take it to the streets.

Please make the AI loudness, hearing, camo visibility, and visual sensitivity adjustable. Like in the addon.. Infantry Stealth and Recognition Skills Mod by Mysteryman5150. It would also be nice to adjust it by slider in game. It's essential for us stealth lovers.

thanks for the info guy's :)

I think OFPEC is the best place for recruitment, tools and anything you need regarding this project, if you haven't already, checkout the OFPEC site.

+1, Pufu has got it i think. Check your geometry, if sketchup has a slice or cut tool use it to chop up those polys with more than 4 sides. Btw It can get tricky. The thing i have come to learn is that some forward planning is needed when 3d modelling. I'm also experimenting and learning with 3ds max at the mo. Good luck :) Can anybody please remind us what kind of issues arise with polygons when they have more than 4 sides?.

Here is a free to download 3d model of a forklift, however i do not know the rules on using it for a project or something. check out the site for more info. It may have a slightly high poly count but it can always be optimised. http://thefree3dmodels.com/stuff/vehicles/fork_lift/13-1-0-600

Just a thought, it will take a while to finish the project anyway right?, by then Arma 3 may have been released or close to release. Maybe it is better to aim to release it for A3 because it will solve some of the problems you are facing, for example the AI path finding, i think a dev mentioned improved path finding in a A3 demonstration mmaybe. by then Arma3 could have a melee attack or stealth kill, and perhaps a knife. Maybe it will be more mod friendly and BIS will provide better mod tools. Edit; also their will be submarines in Arma3. MGS1 begins with submarine insertion if i remember correctly. I'm working on something, will show you soon ;)

Hey, Eaglezero This looks great!. This is Just the type of mission i am also planning to make. I am a noob to arma2 and have so far made many stealth mission's in the editor. I'm in pretty much the same position as you, i can model in max, and make missions in the editor but i know little about scripting. Maybe we can help each other along the way or combine our efforts?. Edit; Are you going to make a complete model of shadow moses Island?. I would be up for helping to model the whole thing, if you would like. Which mods do you use?, i have tweaked the loudness of some units with the" Infantry stealth and recognition skills" mod, and can now perform infiltration missions very nicely. SMK animations is also a must for me. I was using the wire cutter in ACE mod to breach barbed wire and fences, but since ACE2 isn't compatible with SMK animations, i am having to make do without ace for the moment. I have two projects in the pipeline for the near future, one is an underground tunnel and bunker system for the military base in Zargabad, and if i can complete that, afterwards i hope to make an accurate head model of Old snake to add on to an existing body. Btw, In your scenery do you have any duct's or tunnels to crawl or crouch through? tunnel/bunker sketch http://www.flickr.com/photos/63235598@N06/6461340145/
