[Project Reality: Arma 2]

all weapons are super here(generally in game).small arms, at. aa. tanks ,chopper and planes.what is exactly make you so depressing ?

Because AAS is supposed to be balanced. It does not play well with vehicles, 99% of the time its worth it more to go inf.

[Project Reality: Arma 2]

If you would have actually gone to the PR forums you'd notice the discussions about AT and after reading them you could try and contribute. If you played more you'd also know that the TOW isn't the HAT that is causing your problems.

I'm sorry for not visiting some obscure forum and reading every page of it. And yes it is causing problems, you know why vehicles actually mean power in the original PR? Because super soldiers aren't running around soloing with heavy antitank setups.

[Project Reality: Arma 2]

Another thing, it just doesent work like the original project reality. The flags are way to centered and there isn't enough tough vehicle combat. Every single time I've died in an APC or Tank its been by some random guy camping a static heavy AT he quickly threw into a UAZ. I think if TOW's worked like in the original, gameplay would be smoother for vehicles and would be way more balanced then it is. Or atleast make the Heavy anti-tank kits require skill. I don't know what the issue is but it just isn't as fun as PR:BF2.

[In multiplayer (dedicated server) mission, how do I run ExecVM on all players?]

I know how to do it in coop missions with predefined units, by adding stuff to the units init line but how would I do it with init.sqf, so that it runs on all clients.

I want to run the following on every single new client, how would I do it?

nul = [] execVM "myscript.sqf";

They can do whatever they want on their forum.

Which is why, I dident post on their forum. I'm not flamebaiting, but did you even try to comprehend what I posted?

[Project Reality: Arma 2]

It's their mod - they can do what they want with it I suppose. They have explained this multiple times in the last PR Thread (the one that got locked). You might want to head over to their forums to discuss it with them as if we start going over the same old ground here again, this one will get locked too!!

They will lock threads and pass out infractions if you criticize them on their own forums. I think if they opened it up they might actually get a decent population going, because of mods like ACE, JSRS that actually make ArmA exciting and difficult. In the end they're running the mod like a business imo.

[Having issues with name cursortarget, how would you do this?]

_plyname = name cursorTarget;
if (_plyname == "ERROR: No unit";) then {hint "true";} else {hint "false";};

This doesn't work, anyone have a clue why?

[Project Reality: Arma 2]

Even if you could set up your own PR server, who would play on it? The one server that is running is almost never full anyway, so you can always get on it. Most people will probably just play on it rather than your server anyway. As far as I know there was a TG server up (US-based) but it stopped running due to being pretty empty (please correct me if I'm wrong here). And of course if you can't properly admin your server (RGG are having enough of a hard time as it is and IMO they're putting a great effort into doing whatever is needed) then you're going to create a bad gaming experience and thus a bad name for the mod and as a result reduced player count in the long term.

I don't see how controlling the servers has anything to do with hating anything/anyone. While it might not be absolutely necessary IMO, I really don't see what's the big deal about it due to the obvious reasons stated above.

If it's using PR with additional mods that you're after, then be ready for an even less populated (read: empty) server than you would have had if you were allowed to host a standard PR server.

"It isn't worth it" isn't my issue, its the issue that they won't let us do it.

[Project Reality: Arma 2]

@James222: look at DayZ and you'll realise why any mod that tries to create a fair competitive PvP environment has to take control of servers.

They haven't taken control of servers though, and the mod files aren't locked down to prevent people from hosting their own servers. And it does not require a launcher which if it was my decision I'd not use. The only reason they try to control server hosting is because the game is persistent and it connects naturally to a central MySQL database.

[Project Reality: Arma 2]

I was not flame baiting. If my intention was to flame bait I would have said that in my post. Did I get reported or something, because It was my intention to let the developers know that I don't like it, so why not post in the thread about my thoughts on their flawed, in my opinion decision.

[Project Reality: Arma 2]

Why do the creators hate other peoples work? I don't think this mod will ever get popular because its so closed, the only way to get your own server running is to modify the mod files which is unfortunate.

[Taviana Island for ArmA 2!]

Nice work :D Can't wait to blow up that nuclear power plant.

[thisList not detecting BLUFOR in Vehicles]

Stop checking for BLUFOR than, IED don't. :) See this post for more ideas.

The person with the detonator isn't usually stupid.

[remoteexec.txt and createvehicle.txt - not working on 1.62.95251, beta required?]

Who is your provider? They obviously aren't very experienced.

[RCon server administration coming to ArmA 2!]

$able can we get a command line utility for BE RCON? ex: bercon -ip=127.0.0.1 -p=2302 -pw=tehsecretss123 "say -1 Hi players!"

[ArmAIII languages]

You'll have to ask Steam/Valve.

AFAIK the publisher decides which languages to include in their distribution.

You dont understand how steam works do you. Everything is dependent on the developer or publisher, in this case BIS interacts directly with Steam. Steam only provides the tools and approval.

[How do I find classnames for houses on a map?]

Can't test this atm but you can try this in the init field if your player unit

copyToClipboard format ["%1",nearestObjects [this, ["House"], 10000]];

Surprisingly small list, thanks for the tip.

Edit:

I think the list is being cutoff in my clipboard...

18e85d00# 196678: sara_domek_sedy.p3d,

18ea0800# 196681: seno_balik.p3d,

18baf200# 78022: sara_domek_sedy.p3d,

18e86b00# 196716:

It gets cutoff in my RPT file aswell.

Anyone know the proper way?

[How do I find classnames for houses on a map?]

Could someone give me a example of how I would list all houses on a map into my clipboard?

[What to download]

Unfortunately there isn't a torrent download available officially. However you can DL the iso's if you have a legitimate license(CD-Key).

[Why can't I attachTo bis_fnc_spawnvehicle?]

Thanks a bunch :)

[Why can't I attachTo bis_fnc_spawnvehicle?]

_acexrusu27 = [getPos player, 90, "ACE_Su27_CAP", EAST] call bis_fnc_spawnvehicle; player attachTo [_acexrusu27,[0,0,0]];

All that does is move the player under the plane(Its flying in the air) and make him unable to move his body sideways while he falls down to the ground. I want to attach him to the object not stick him under it and watch him die :(

Any clues?

[Do people still play public MP?]

Vanilla? Not tactically.

ACE & ACRE? Yes. Nearly every day.

The only way to get a good public server experience is with ACE & ACRE. Simple.

That isn't true.. alot of the good ACE servers get hacked daily.

[Do people still play public MP?]

Yeah I was playing on a ACE server today.. hacker came along spawned everyone ontop of a F35B, least to say our game was ruined and we all hit the ground and died.
