Hello Bohemia Interactive and the community! My name is Valentin, Im a lead guitarist - solo artist. Im writing guitar centered instrumentals in various styles, anything from soft rock to heavy\prog metal. Recently I released my latest solo track called "Sandstorm" (its a metal track in arabian style) and I decided to post it to forums I visit, one of them is Total War forum. Some of the comments suggested that I should write music for video games, and I thought its a great idea. Im a gamer myself and I would love to have my existing tracks in video games, or write something specifically for a game. Below are links to some of my tracks: This is the track I mentioned earlier - Sandstorm Apocalyptic Visions - old school heavy metal track The Return - rock ballad style track Rock Demo - a soft rock track with a fairly long guitar solo UPDATE 23.07.2014 Deadly Obsession - melodic prog metal: UPDATE 12.09.2014 Hypnosis - Indie\Prog Rock If BI devs are interested contact me on the forum (I wont leave an email adress here for obvious reasons).

And a new track is out! Something I was working on frantically for the last 2 months Its a prog metal track in Arabian style called When The Dust Settles. The first riffs were supposed to be a part of Sandstorm (another track of mine) but I decided to split them on work on them separately. Anyways, check it out: Sandstorm (for anyone unfamiliar):

ARMA 2 for me, A3 is awesome, but nothing has topped the battlefield experience that is A2+SLX+JTD Fire and Smoke for me so far.

They could implement even the most progressive damage model in the world, without proper visual feedback it just won't really be worth much.

Found this post on reddit of someone making a total overhaul of the damage model to what pretty much should be, its a shame he still hasn't made a public release.. http://www.reddit.com/r/arma/comments/244voh/mod_progress_update_complete_infantry_damage

Considering a new damage model should probably have been done around A2.. Seriously though, ARMA jet crashes always look awesome.. Until the jet hits the ground.

Hey guys, I`m having a really weird issue with A2 (without OA or anything else). Basically I downloaded some mods (CBA, SLX, JTD), copied the @modname folders to the main ARMA 2 folder and whatever method (launcher, shortcut, steam launch options) I try to launch them it won't work. I enter the editor, test the mods and nothing works. I`m absolutely lost and I have no idea what to do. Tried googling but found nothing.. EDIT: Solved! Actually for some reason CBA_CO is not friendly for A2 standalone.. Go figure

Thanks guys, that is eventually what I did. I found an older version of CBA and it works.

Thanks man!

Hey guys, just released a new track called Hypnosis. This one has an Indie\Prog Rock feel, with a fairly shreddy solo towards the end. Check it out:

Yeah, its fun stuff :D Have a listen then, its pretty much the stuff Im inspired by.

Hey man, just wondering if you could make blood caused by bleeding stay permanently? As of now the blood disappears after a minute or two. Also if you could make debris caused by destroyed vehicles stay permanent too it would be awesome.

Agree with a lot of it. A3 has a-lot of awesome features, but infantry combat needs a lot of improvement, it still feels a lot like the first ARMA game (it does looks much better in A3, but the core is the same). Both on damage system (soldier twich until the a shot empties the health bar and makes the soul leave the body) and on soldier animations (they just arent believable). Edit: forgot to mention AI, they still prefer to go prone under heavy fire in the middle of the road then try to take cover in a nearby building.

Im getting a 404 error on the dropbox link, could you guys fix the link?

Im hoping that at least a modder would fix this..

Do you know where can I download this config from and how do I make it work?

Hey guys, released a new track yesterday for the project, called Deadly Obsession. Its a melodic prog metal track that was inspired by the concept of obsession, that is getting progressively worse until (as the title suggest) a bitter end. Have a listen:

Well the issue wasnt fixed, I was googling for a solution for this and stumbled on this thread, which is unfortunately still relevant.

Bohemia, please implement what OP suggested. Created a mission today that has an air run, the 3 HMG trucks I had made the plane crash.. And it ended up bouncing against the buildings. I dont think I need to say any more.

Hey guys, finished a new track recently, its called Devil`s Courtyard. Its a heavy-thrash metal instrumental track, Czech it out :D

Thanks man!

Glad you liked it :D Never played a banjo, got to try it sometime..

Thanks Daniel! Feel free to have a listen to the other tracks too.

Heres another fun project I just finished working on - a rewrite of a Muse song with heavy guitar and shreddy solos :D Check it out!

Thanks man! Im working on some more fun stuff, will keep you posted.
