Instead of whining for a balance of everything why don't you utilize the assets available in a smart way. If the enemy has superior armor then ambush them. If the enemy outnumbers you then silently take them out. Adapt your tactics to complete the mission.

Hello everyone! I help admin an Arma 2 Takistan Life server and we are currently working on an Arma 3 Life mission. I got this idea to attempt to make an animation mod that will detect where the player was hit and then do a corresponding animation. For example, the player is a civilian, he gets shot in the left arm, now instead of the normal walking animation he walks while holding his left arm. I am going to be honest and state that I have no idea what I am doing but making animations is something I would like to learn. Any pointers or tips would be appreciated, I'll update this post after any progress. - Cuban

Downloading the Misery CoP mod haha I can't wait for your map to release! Are you planning on making a mission to go with this island? :D

I am in a clan but sometimes you will see a couple players getting together in a squad and talking over side chat and they do pretty well. When I first bought Arma 2 I just played in public servers and didn't get into any of the clans out there, but being a part of clan really adds a whole other side of the game.

Wow I really appreciate your work! Very interesting

I have been playing Insurgency on my clan's server with a bunch of guys for awhile. Not that many problems except when the player count hits over 8 to 10 my fps drops considerably. Some in-game admin tools would be amazing and we really need a way to actually host a dedicated server. Still not bored or frustrated yet :D

Just a sidenote, I don't remember Arma 2 having any public servers hosted by BIS. Everything is player based, try finding a passworded server and hop on their TS.

I remember Evolution on Arma 2 free! It was amazing but I never saw it on any Combined Ops servers :(

Hey there LP... Nice missions :p

This seems like a great project! Can't wait to see what you make next!

Ill agree with you on the melee, wish there was some way to sneak up to a guy and use some cord, knife, hands or something to kill him instead of shooting all the time. The only concern I have about it is the AI are ridiculously accurate and aware :|

Thank you haha this will be fun :D

You could try adding a car paint shop - I've noticed that if you place a pickup on the map every time you start the game it is a different texture. There might be a way to have a default texture in the car shop and then have a paint shop somewhere else where you can select different textures for a price. Clothes shops would be awesome but the clothes are acting really weird in MP.

Stratis about 1/3 the size of Chernarus, and Chernarus is about 1/3 the size of Altis. (At least thats what I have been told) So I am pretty excited for the massive playground that Altis will become!

Yea I think that a new mission from the ground up will turn out alot better than the ported versions. Also it will be awhile before we put the Stratis Life map up. All of the banks/licenses/buying everything and gangs still work but there are still alot of bugs - especially with clothing. Add to that the lack of content such as vehicles and weapons it will take some time before its open to the public.

Its because you are running a different build than the server. It will also result in everyone turning into seagulls if you actually get into the game. Just make sure you are running the same build as the server and everything should be fine.

If your server is on the stable build and someone joins using the dev build, they will have an empty lobby GUI screen and if they press enter to get into the game it will turn everyone into seagulls. Make sure that you are running the same build as the server you are joining.

Its due to the server and client not have the same build. If you are running the developmental build then joining a server with stable build will show the blank lobby and turn everyone into birds upon joining the actual game. Just make sure your build matches the one that the server is running.

Just to let you guys know the Takistan Life Revolution (Trotsky, Micovery, Droo_k6) team has finished porting the life mission over from A2 and we are currently testing it and smoothing out some bugs. This was the version that was originally from Saharani Life. I will let everyone know when its ready to play and we will most likely keep out mission file open for anyone to use however we ask that you do not change the credits and history tabs. Please keep working on a ground up build though because it would probably turn out to be better than the ported version :D We will most likely be posting our progress on our website - http://www.takistanliferevolution.com
