Huh? The truck should stop at a former russian storage depot with lots of guards. Do you arrive there, with the radiation sign at the street? If so just follow the road a few meters. If you get bumped out of the truck while it's driving there's a problem with a mod about "more realistic vehicles", see the topic above a few pages. I will check the mission the following days to see if it's still up to date with current Arma versions. Thanks for your comment!

We would like to inform you that we're currently putting together a completely new intro level and with the blowouts finalized thanks to Indeed Pete, the respawns in place, lots of scripts written I think we can honestly confirm an ETA of the Alpha rather in weeks than in years. Believe me, I am as excited as you are to see all the elements put together. Maybe now is a good moment for you volunteers of voice acting to step up. Help us to make this mission not just great but kickass! Thanks in advance!

Thanks for all the work you have put into this! Really appreciated! To my taste I don't like the sound of the MX vanilla, too much emphasis on the closing mechanism. So same goes for JSRS Dragonfyre's MX and machinegun which still remind me of the vanilla sound. On PURE it is a much more direct sound, a little hollow, just like I would imagine it in real life with all the Michael Bay left aside. Apart of that both sound incredible and at least one should be in everyone's arsenal!

Excellent video! Well done mate!

Consider yourself PM'ed :-)

Great to see this is picking up some followers! Here's some new screenshots of the CONTENTION ZONE's scenery:

Yeah, I'm also still in holiday-mode, surfing on the Canaries. But I've got my laptop with me, ready to get back to the CONTENTION ZONE.

Thanks a lot, Mathias! You might want to try "Close Quarters", also in the R6 department or "Grey Ops", which reminded me of the swamp missions in Ghost Recon. Currently I'm working with IndeedPete on a larger scale post-apocalyptic Stalker-like project. Feel free to click our development blog on the below banner!

I have updated one of my favorite missions so far: If you loved the classic Rainbow Six this mission is for you: We have reason to believe that the terrorist group "Brown Thunder" is using the facilities in your target area to develop explosives and prepare suicide missions against us and our allies. Eliminate this threat by destroying enemy vehicles that could be used for bombings and kill any opposing forces. A lot of thanks to Laqueesha for his ongoing support at the voice department! To install just save the .pbo in your Arma3/Missions folder and start via Play/Scenario Also available on Steam Workshop Download the latest version here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/uc38c826m7twmke/%5BSP%5D_Tango_Down_by_Surfer.Altis.pbo http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=22823 Changes include revised spotting distance of the AI, finetuned loadout and added a weapons crate for some alternative gear.

Format needs to be .paa, dimensions HAVE to be 256x256, 512x512, 1024x1024 or 2048x2048. Give it a new name with each new try!

For me it's the key "U". Otherwise check your keysettings. I think it only works if you run it in single player and if your difficulty settings do not forbid teamswitching. Thanks for playing our mission and your comments!

If you have teammates left, switch to one of them and help your buddy out. If you're the last man standing ... well, you will stand for a veeery long time. Better restart then.

Actually it's the former Altis NPP. Part of it is still walkable while the main reactor is in it's sarcophagus since the incident in 2042 ...

I just have a bad feeling of asking IndeedPete to code every single script that's out of my understanding. I should add that on the other hand there are SO MANY scripts that I would like to ask him to do. Hehe.

You don't need the HLC mod. It will probably be taken out with the next iteration. Sorry Lib.

Untested: Try to run the mission with AiA + A3MP_AP installed, without having to dePBO stuff. A3MP_AP is a small additional mod which includes the Thirskw_Fix. Otherwise for the next update let's find a way the mission runs stable on both AiA and A3MP.

Rell, I have to say I'm AMAZED about your video! You put together so many of the key scenes in a very dynamic and fast paced way, yet without spoiling anything! Really really good job! ´Thanks so much!!! If you agree I will put the link to your vid on this thread's starting page. Vodka for Rell! Cheers fellow Stalker!

If you're interested in this sort of postapocalyptic-mystery-steampunkish-slightlyhorror-mostlyexploreinawe-thing as mentioned earlier I highly recommend the Strugazki's "Roadside Picnic", which you can buy as a book or read online. It has been the inspiration for Stalker and it is for "Somewhere In Siberia". This episode evolved as the prelude to IndeedPete's and my follow up "Contention Zone" (working title), so this one has some of the elements of the Zone as anomalies and blowouts but it's just starting and taking a twist from the usual sabotage deep behind enemy lines mission. It has also been the first mission in which I used scripts and I can't mention enough that without the forum's technical geniuses, especially IndeedPete, this wouldn't be possible to me. Survival is an interesting key-word since I mostly enjoy missions where you do your best not to die once. There's some chance to revive here but in whole you can only finish the mission if you plan your attacks carefully and don't run into enemy fire. Some day I need to try to solve this mission unarmed. Could be possible. Will keep you posted.

Champagne to you, Indeed Pete! Be proud of yourself, not only for shifting what's possible but also for having an open ear and solution for everybody's queries. You really did a great job with MERCS, it's a wonderful campaign where the human is in the center of attention and not just cannon fodder. And shame on me, I didn't even play through the whole campaign yet. But winter is around the corner and there will be times when I leave the editor and actually PLAY the game :-P Thanks for answering my own questions and fixing my buggy beginner's scripts all the times and especially in Somewhere In Siberia. Pulling off the new Zone together is taking it to a whole new level and the honor shall be yours to open its own thread, so we can throw screenshots, movies and feature lists at the hungry zombies ehm crowd.
