    Development Blog & Reveals

    the curve you see is because its a 3d engine. everything is "curved" cause you have your horizontal view. The more degress you set the more curved (aka fisheye it gets). if you used a narrow view, then you had 20 cm (eyes) and needed a 20 cm screen but could only see absolutely narrow - doesnt make sense does it? so a more wider field gets shrinked / stretched. V instead of || the real curve of the earth can you see when nearly in space - not on the ground or 1000 ft above.. this would be true if earth was tiny little. google for FOV.
  2. to make fire is bugged. On every server i get only one chance (i see the action in the menu) - when i do it, afterwards there is no fire (i did it on nearly every sort of ground) - and the action is gone.
  3. so many servers and still they are all full. speaks for itself. This mod is great! http://s14.directupload.net/images/120426/ozuhrkh3.jpg
  4. its really pure fun. but it just doesnt work very often. since 2 days i could only play 3 times for ca. 1-2 hrs

    Arma 3 and the real world

    this is interesting - and a real walking speed could easily be tested by the players. if it is no fun then back to the original game speed.

    Arma 3 and the real world

    @ mr._g_c your point would be valid if it was just about the limnos island should be real or not, but the real matter is that with a too small shrinked island the proportios of hills and streets are wrong. THe world isnt shaped like this. Its not round hills and flat lands with some streets. There are far more curves everywhere. You cannot climb mount everest like a flat egg.. the landscape needs more geometry in my eyes. real world: 1 http://img.portwallpaper.com/imgwal/hills-of-troutbeck.jpg 2 http://armed-assault.de/screenshots/arma2-in-echt-02-3_1_5690.jpg but arma 2 comes really close, maybe it just needs better light and more bushes and stuff http://www.idea-games.com/images/stories/arma_ii/arma2_chernarus_18.jpg -- about the curve in the video: yes of course its not the earth curve. the earth is far too big that cant be recognized. But your view isnt 1°. in every shooter game your view is stripped. at the edges circles are eggs. thats normal, thats how it works. usually you get the fish eye effect with a too high fov (like 90 or 100) http://i996.photobucket.com/albums/af88/Phazon88/BC2_FOV.gif you cannot work otherwise, cause the world is bigger than the 20 inch of your screen. so it must be fitted into this. the more horizontal view you want to fit into the screen the lesser information is about the middle of your view in comparison to the rest. your screen stays the same size so the middle field gets reduced. I really cannot explain it better in proper english.
  7. this worked! Thank you VERY Much Sir! only short, then I got an error with weapons.cfg ? and now i dont see any server.. hmm
  8. I cannot join the server because it is saying there are keys missing for the Community Based Addons (I have 0.83 installed), It needs the keys from: cba_ai, cba_array, cba_common, cba_diagnostic, cba_events, cba_extended_eventhandlers http://s7.directupload.net/images/120425/rqmfxcez.jpg but i have the correct Version for Combined Operatios 1.6 - installed: http://s7.directupload.net/images/120425/wal9pogh.jpg I already copied the bikey files wherever I could ;) but It Doesnt help... there are a few other Sevrers where I get the same Error aswell, only Vanilla Sevrer seem to work. in my mods folder are two mods: the CBA for CO and the JSRS Sound Mod. I merged both of them with no Error and can play SOlo campaign and Vanilla. For the dayz mod I made a second modfolder. (@dayz) it is behind the mods in the parameter list: http://s14.directupload.net/images/120425/4rb6vzx2.jpg I did not modify any files, just downloaded them and copied them. This is the Menu screen: http://s7.directupload.net/images/120425/l7nqtjxb.jpg Reproducing the Error: In the mod List there is something called: JayArma2Lib - What is that? Do I need this? But does it have Sth. to do with the Key Error for CBA? In the Readme of Dayz It reads: "Download the files from www.mediafire.com/dayz (Check for updates as well) Created a folder in your ArmA II program files location: (C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2) and call it @dayz Inside that folder create another called folder called Addons Use a program such as 7zip to unzip the rar files you downloaded. Copy the unzipped files in your @dayz/Addons folder On an ArmA II shortcut in the target line add (After the quotation marks): -nosplash -mod=@dayz; Load up that shortcut. Find the DayZ Zombie RPG server, login and Play!" And I did excatly that: http://s7.directupload.net/images/120425/kjm8qldy.jpg

    Shadow Error

    I noticed some weird shadow error. It doesnt only happen in this room - but it happens quite often whenever the sun is hidden by objects which would otherwise be lit up I guess
  10. low polygon models of course, low res textures, low Areal detail such as trees and grass and bushes..
  11. maybe if PvP wasnt just only about killing others. The game gives us the mechanics. I like going on patrole with comrades or doing solo "ninja" missions. WHy not make a big "Battlearea" where every team meber has a job to do - some must patrole - some others ,must watch an area or sth. as far away from the hated "deathmatch - mode" as possible. I am new to Arma so please excuse me if there are professional PvP Servers / missions out there where it is not just only about killing each other but to obtain some goals - hold positions, gather information etc etc escort a person.. and all at multiple locations, and maybe redundant so that the other team must find out, what their oponent is doing in order to cancel it etc it could also be mixed up with some ai soldiers who would spawn somewhere and attack sone cite which must be protectet. (like Dota ;))

    J.S.R.S. 1.5

    First i have to say Thank you for the great work you have done over such a long period of time! And I have to admit I really like the Sounds and the realistic aproach. I never really was in a gunfight, but it sounds very believable when I compare it to the newsmedia etc. Nevertheless I found - maybe - an Error in the LAV Sounds. I say maybe cause I never really drove such a vehicle in real life, and you never know what it sounds like. But what brings me to believe ther eis an Error is the fact that there is an additional sound which gets played, and doesnt stop when I stop the driving. It sounds like a normal car which fades out. The Sound only starts when I accelerate with full throttle but then suddenly stop. Maybe the sound is to blend in with the other sounds when just accelerating. But it wont stop when I stop the engine, and is so hearable solo - which again maybe - is wrong here. I made a Video to support the description: first half part: JSRS Mod I accelerate slowly and stop - sounds normals. But then accelerate full speed and suddenly stop and there you can hear that sound. I repeated this several times. You can hear the sound for example at: 0:07 The second half part of the video (it is darker) is the original Sound of ArmA II for comparison.
  13. Thank you very much. That helps a lot. I am trying out some mods right now. Is there a list of the Graphical Options, mainly what they do? (HDR is so bloomy, and the Textures are sometimes low - switching between high and low i guess - when i come closer to an object then its sharp again.) I had an intense fight in the campaign in the woods. When the shooting startet all of a sudden it felt like the real thing really. WoW - what a great game! What a shame i missed this one when it came out.
  14. I ordered a hard copy of ArmA II - Combined Operations yesterday. What are the recommended Mods and / or Addons or Fixes I should already download? Should I download the six updater too? thx in advance I am an old Player. I played Operation Flashpoint, Red Hammer and Resistance. So I like the gameplay and I am used to the simulation way of playing. But there have been years since I last played Resistance - and I never played any other Bohemia game since then. So maybe a short list of what I should download or do is very welcomed for an old head like me :) btw. cant wait for Arma III !! Wow it looks so great.
  15. Good Videos indeed. Can i ask you what Addons and or Mods you are using for the Vids? the graphic looks so great! And the sounds are very good. Especially the helicopter in the Machinima Video!
