railgun

Hey there! I've been trying to work on some gun conversions from Vilas' mlods, and I'm running into a problem trying to run bulldozer. Running it through oxygen at "P:\bulldozer.exe" -window -noLand -buldozer results in the error External viewer: Unable to create viewer. Changing the path to the arma3.exe loads bulldozer, but gives me the error External viewer: Attach failed. No viewer found. bulldozer itself is a grey screen with coords up top and what appears to be a crosshair. This is my first time delving into Oxygen 2 and Bulldozer, so forgive me if the problem is obvious; my searches on the matter haven't returned any solutions! Thanks for your time.

Played with the new Pelican handling a bit, and I can't say it's an improvement. It really feels like a rip of the AH-6's handling, which just feels downright odd in something of that size. It is extremely twitchy to maneuver in the final stages of landing, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but doesn't seem to gel right with the aircraft in question. There is an incessant shaking, also something attributed to the Little Bird, which makes your instruments look like they're in the NBA playoffs with all the bouncing they do. Top speed has been severely reduced, getting above 200km/h requires a nose dive, where before I had trouble staying UNDER that speed. I simply can't get the notion that I'm in a Little Bird while I'm flying it, which is just a very odd and unsettling feeling for something so large. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the changes as an attempt to fix what was previously extremely sluggish and painful to fly with any degree of accuracy, but this feels like it's too far gone in the other direction. Thanks for your work, looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Any info/pics on the Scorpion? I noticed it in that teaser couple pages back. I'm also wondering what sort of ETA you have on the Cougar? With the Scorpion, Falcon (and presumably the Pelican gunship) in, the only major hole in the UNSC arsenal would be in the APC/IFV department. As much fun as booting around in transport 'hogs is, there's more flesh than machine when you have it fully loaded. :P In any case, love the work you boys are doing, an Arma style Halo game has been a dream of mine for a long time, and you have almost made that come true! EDIT: And I forgot to ask; would it be possible to include an up-to-date classlist within the mod folders each update? It'd really make mission maker's lives a lot easier.

Yes, Bohemia should certainly study the idea of appealing to about four people.

I, for one, welcome our new alien overlords. Sweet stuff! Will be keeping an eye on development.

Aww yiss! I'm all over that, nice work. Any possibility you could do the TR75 too? It was my favourite design for the JHL program.

Man, even I think this is tasteless.

Uh. Google it?

You're free to credit me as you wish, but simply seeing it in use will give me all the pride I need. :P

You inspired me to throw together this quick logo for your project: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/68337476/Banners/marsoneblack.png https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/68337476/Banners/marsonewhite.png Releasing what rights I have on the image to you, SilentKiller, so you're free to do with them as you wish.

It will definitely be interesting to see if you can pull it off! I've been wishing for a Mars map ever since I first saw the Ifrit in-game. :P

Looking beautiful mate. How feasible is a populated 10k km/2 map? Seems a bit insane. I'll be keeping a close eye on this, good luck!

That's a shame, doing so had occurred to me in the past but I wasn't willing to spend the time doing it haha. I guess the limitation here is that it would be impossible to display it on curved surfaces (like the side of an MH-9)? I'd be happy to grab those numbers off you, though.

This is very interesting to me... Is it simply a fine-tuned attachTo or do you have some secret? I've been looking for a way to stick logos and stuff on vehicles without them being mirrored.

There's a lot of emphasis on this 'not being like DayZ', but you've yet to provide any tangible reason why other than that it has a story in singleplayer... Something which you say we won't get until after the multiplayer is done, if at all. So... What makes the multiplayer different to DayZ?

This can be easily circumvented by the mission creator. The simplest method is to group one of the teams with a blufor or opfor member of higher rank to them, with his probability to spawn set to zero. The grouped players will now be on his team, and he won't exist at all.

You want more hand but less lube? I guess you like to live dangerously.

Huge fan of Sci Fi and I have experience writing for other mod projects for other games, but it's hard to commit without knowing anything at all about the universe I'd be writing for. :P

Nice stuff! I actually started working on my own PMC addon, and was a little dismayed when I saw the great job you're doing here! Even the weapons used are almost the same! It's made me take a less generic route as you usually see with PMCs (just random guys with military gear) and go for for a more directed rip-off approach of some PMCs from other game (uniforms, branding and whatnot). Anyway, just thought I'd tip my hat to your lovely work, looking forward to seeing more!

Any chance for the Utility version of the HMMWV from Arma 2? Can't remember it's number, but you should know what I mean. It looks badass!

Aye, I reinstalled (honestly don't know why I didn't try that earlier) and everything is working fine now! Feeling a bit sheepish. :P

Impeccably oiled.

Hey neokika, I absolutely love this little package, it's perfect for missions with a smaller playercount where you can't afford to have player pilots! I love the smoke marking for transport helos, it's great. I was wondering, is it possible to have it converted to Arma 3? I've had a go at it myself, but I've hit a wall where I am getting no errors, but the action doesn't appear in my scroll menu. Thanks for your time!

Ahh, thanks anyway JDog, she's a beauty. I'll just have to settle for a flying LHD.

Hey there, I'm aware that the script that spawns the ship automatically puts at sea level. Is there any way to override this? I'd like to put it in the sky.
