Hi all, EO messaged me and it's been awhile since I looked at where I left off. Having seen Contact, I may get back into this but I got a promotion at work and have to do quite a bit of traveling. The next time I'm home, I'll have a look at things and talk to EO and Haleks and see if we can get that work out to you guys in one form or another... No promises but I haven't forgotten about this!

You and up to 3 SF team members are dropped into Altis. Doctor O Neil has left a trail of destruction starting on Altis. We are currently tracking him ... That is not your concern for now. Your Mission is to find his Laptops left on Altis, so HQ can triangulate the location of the device and destroy whatever is creating the infection on Altis. You may be re tasked by Admiral Delacourt depending on how you complete the Mission. Main Mission -Download the data from the 3 Laptops hidden on Altis. Markers will be added to your map when you get close enough.

YOU will still have to search... a lot.... -Dr. O'Neil had a thing for churches, places by the water and military installations... just sayin...

I'm not a modeler and was wondering how hard it is to setup hidden selections in o2. Reason I ask is I would be love to be able to retexture accessories but they dont have HSs. How much work would it be to add these HSs to the models and/or what are the chances BI could release these p3ds to someone to add them... even if they had to be rebinarized after... Just curious if i should give up hope lol

@haleks S3mT3x is having trouble with a script error. He says that the Veh.init.sqf is throwing an error. And the file isnt in the pbo. Im not at my gaming computer but can someone double check... this is the error 18:05:02 Warning Message: Script \ravage\code\scripts\system\veh_init.sqf not found

Makes ya wonder how it got there tho LOL... This back on track?

Forgot how good these were ;). @Evil Organ Great shots

yep, some good fun :)

^^^^ it gunn be gud

I joined... lets make this happen... :)

Im gonna have to dig out my olde pics as teasers ;)

Oh boy... here we go... does this mean our compos are coming?

Seems really odd. Sorry man... not at this point. We are going to try to get persistency worked on a bit at some point. Try BlackDogs mission on malden... Tourist mentioned it was really cool! That being said... When is the next Ravage Escape session... Cherno Redux anyone?

Sounds really cool. Have to get it loaded on the server and add this to our rotation. Nice Job man!

? who is saying that?

Pm Sent

Correct. That script was made for Ravage escape by Bad Benson. Please credit him if you use it. I may look at moving the hint as well. Pretty much... special textures with slightly upped stats that come with attachments and are compatible with reg ammo and will have own custom ammo and i guess exploding ammo lol...

I havent looked at that... i can try but it won't be easy lol. I would prefer it where the hunger and thirst thing is personally Re - exploding ammo. I will configure legendary guns with regular damage and explosive rounds too... that way they can function as guns but you may find some explosive ammo that is compatible too ;)

Koda and I played this with donnie last week and it was good fun... Nice release donnie!

I could tell with the vest. But as a package... very believable... Great job!

Damn Scot... You are some type of magician... Units and vehicles are amazing... You get the coveted bouncing smiley Kudos Sir!
