SubSim Clowns. We want YOU to behave like an arse!

[HunterICX]

IMHO, the clown's nose and smile has to go.

the subsim logo with a nice font ''Clowns'' will do just nicely.

[Arclight]

You crazy. :D

Just looking at that grin makes me chuckle every single time. Heck, just thinking about it does. :D
Anyway, looks good so far...So far...? :doh:

Think it's only gonna get worse? Any suggestions are welcome, but a B-52 would be hard to incorporate, me thinks. :yep:

The Ferret said it's a WIP, so I figured it might well get better/worse...okay, worse...

[Arclight]

:haha: :har:

:yep:

No enemy is ever gonna forget that one, though I don't know how it looks once you start pasting it on vehicles and such. Maybe a little too complex. :hmmm:

But Fking A, that one is sweet. :yeah:

You can pretty much anything as the logo as long as it's 256x256, 512x512 etc. and it'll show up nicely.

[HunterICX]

:yeah:that one gets my vote!

HunterICX

[mr chris]

Mine too:cool:

[Fincuan]

That's a good one :yeah:

Could you send me a higher-res version for the vids once it's final?

[Dowly]

That's a good one :yeah:

Could you send me a higher-res version for the vids once it's final?

The highest I have is 512x512 and it's only partly done, but yeh, I'll propably modify the existing one abit so the foremost hand comes over the edge of the circle aswell so it looks like the clown is resting the arm on the edge.

EDIT: Ow and I'll skip tonight aswell, something on telly I wanna watch.

[Fincuan]

512x512 is very good, thanks.

You're gonna watch Poltergeist, aren't you?

[Dowly]

You're gonna watch Poltergeist, aren't you?

Hehe, aye. Saw it the last time like 10-12 years ago, so I think it's about a time to see it again. :yep:

[Task Force]

Why does finnish television have all the good stuff on it.:shifty:

[Dowly]

Because we are supreme beings, didnt you know?:D

[Task Force]

And the comeback... :O::D

[Raptor1]

Traitors, traitors all of you!

[HunterICX]

Traitors, traitors all of you!

Let's park B-52's on their heads!

HunterICX

[Schroeder]

Actually the B36 was even bigger and with just two main wheels one can focus the pressure on a rather small spot.:D

[Raptor1]

Actually the B36 was even bigger and with just two main wheels one can focus the pressure on a rather small spot.:D

Yeah, but the Tu-160 is the heavier than both and would therefore work much better, also you can balance it on the nose for maximum pressure

[Raptor1]

Is Jim's TS still dead?

[Dowly]

The hell I know, try it ffs! :haha:

[HunterICX]

Jimbuna's Teamspeak works again

[Arclight]

Been toying with the Subsim logo a bit.

http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj2/EZatHome/SSmetal.png http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj2/EZatHome/SSneon2.png
Might be nice to incorporate with the logo, instead of the plain white. :06:

[Dowly]

Looking good. Tho, I must say that my personal preference would be to use the plain white, as that is how the subsim's logo is presented on the homepage. :hmmm:

[Arclight]

Yeah, I understand that, kinda feel the same way. I set out to give it a metallic look, while keeping the original look and feel, but those things started rolling out and I figured I'd just put them up.

Meanwhile I still haven't accomplished what I set out for. :hmmm:

Maybe give the logo a bit of "rise", some texturing to mimick machining marks and bit of lighting for metallic sheen. Make it look like a metal logo that's attached to a surface, instead of painted.

[HunterICX]

So who's up for a game of ArmA tonight?

me and Raptor are on Teamspeak at the moment

HunterICX

[Raptor1]

If I didn't know better, I would surely have said that all of you were traitors...

[Schroeder]

Sorry, but I don't feel much like playing ArmA recently.http://fwc493.250free.com/5/BulletSad.gif

[Arclight]

I'll need to install it, reïnstalled Win recently. :doh:

See you in 15min or so. :up:

[Dowly]

Right, who is still with us? (so I can update the roster)

And as a side note, SSC wont be moving to A2 until everyone has it.

[NeonSamurai]

I'm still in though when I'll be able to play with you all I don't know. For the next few weeks I have less then zero time. After that though I should have a good amount of free time (though will still have class tues-thurs 5:30 est - 8:30 est) As for A2 I don't plan on getting it until it comes out in a box here, so don't wait on my account.

Still here, although a bit more rarely until we move to A2.

[Task Force]

Il join when we start playing Arma2.

[Arclight]

Alive and kicking, but my world has gone mental. :dead:

Playing games till 1 or 2am is fun, unless you need to get up at 5. :nope:

No rush on A2 utill they patch/optimize it IMHO.

[Task Force]

anyone know where your product keys are for A2.:hmmm:

[Arclight]

[Dowly]

Not sure if I join tonight, heading for the pub. Might come hour or so late.

[Arclight]

Make sure you do, if those guys don't have you to shoot at, they might turn on me. :o :D

[Raptor1]

I don't care who it is, but we better have some highly expendable cannon fodd...err...

[Arclight]

:rotfl:

You know, you really need to work on your people skills. :haha:

[Raptor1]

:rotfl:

You know, you really need to work on your people skills. :haha:

I have people skills in my imagination, that's good enough

Oh, and Jim's TS seems to be horribly sabotaged once more

[Task Force]

it is sabatodged every time this after noon.

[Arclight]

Noticed that as well... wonder if "heading for the pub" actually means "sabotaging Jim's server". :hmmm:

[Raptor1]

Noticed that as well... wonder if "heading for the pub" actually means "sabotaging Jim's server". :hmmm:

That would be putting the guy regularly sabotaging his server out of business and thus, highly rude...

[Arclight]

I don't know, is it rude to sabotage a saboteur?

[Raptor1]

I don't know, is it rude to sabotage a saboteur?

Well, that depends, is said saboteur sabotaging the saboteur sabotaging him?

[Raptor1]

And Jimbuna is up again, looks like one of the sabotaging saboteurs finally won

[Arclight]

No, I think previously mentioned saboteur is sabotaging said saboteur, while that saboteur is only sabotaging Jim's TS and not said saboteur.

Now, if previously mentioned saboteur would have been succesfull at sabotaging said saboteur, Jim's TS would not have been sabotaged.

I think. :doh:

[Raptor1]

Good, therefore it is apparent that the saboteur sabotaging the saboteur sabotaging Jimbuna's server has succeeded, whether that is rude is debatable

[Dowly]

Noticed that as well... wonder if "heading for the pub" actually means "sabotaging Jim's server". :hmmm:

I wish it would!

Forgot to tell last night that the pub trip was one of them "every ugly mature chick wants to have wild, rough sex with you" nights. Notyhing wrong being wanted, but right about at the point when you go get you another pint and some ****ing ugly, not so well preserved woman comes next to you and goes all "sexy" on you... well... you'd rather be somewhere else... anywhere else.. :doh:

[Task Force]

So in arma 2 if your menus are in german with the english fix, what did i do rong.

[HunterICX]

I wish it would!

:rotfl:if such thing happens it doesnt take much time for me to think ''I need to get the f*ck out of here!!!''

Sorry, I didnt show up last night, by the time Jim's TS was back online I thought it was little to late and finished the stuff I wanted to do and went off.

HunterICX

[Arclight]

The real problem comes if both you and her are regulars there. Kinda akward running into a "not so well preserved" :rotfl: woman after turning her down. Sex doesn't exactly improve that situation either. :timeout:

TF:

language.pbo and languagemissions.pbo go into the AddOns folder.
languagecore.pbo goes to Dta folder.

You can use JSGME to set it up. You need to roll back the "english patch" before updating the game, so make darn sure you back up files.

[Arclight]

Anyone playing tonight?

[Raptor1]

Anyone playing tonight?

I will

[Arclight]

That's a good start. Was thinking about turning in early (on a saturday :nope: ), but if we can get a game on I will postpone it.

Not like a beauty-sleep is gonna do me any good. :o

:hmmm:

Is there a cure for ugly?

[Raptor1]

12,000lb HC Blockbuster bomb...

[Arclight]

Ah, but then I need a Lancaster and experienced crew to drop it on my face. Don't think I can afford that. :dead:

How about a 12 gauge? Nothing like a dose of buckshot for some facial reconstruction! :yeah:

[Task Force]

lol, theres always ugly pills.:rotfl:

[Raptor1]

I personally wouldn't trust it to completely eradicate the ugliness, but suit yourself...

[Arclight]

Maybe I should just get a ticket to Afghanistan and go lay down on an IED. It's no 12.000 pounder, but it should beat the 00 shot. :hmmm:

Ow well, I guess being ugly still beats being dead. :)

[Task Force]

:hmmm: I got it! Face paint!!!, you can be a real clown.:rotfl:

[Arclight]

I had some, but a reïnstall overwrote my precious work. :shifty:

[Raptor1]

Can you afford a Titan II ICBM? That would fix the problem

[Arclight]

Sure, but the Yanks are refusing to hand over a warhead. Maybe Kim Jong-Il is willing to part with one?

[Raptor1]

Sure, but the Yanks are refusing to hand over a warhead. Maybe Kim Jong-Il is willing to part with one?

You don't actually need the warhead, just put your head under the engines and fire her up

Aye, that's true. Finally a solution! Praise the great being in the sky who may or may not exist!

[HunterICX]

Right, who is still with us? (so I can update the roster)

And as a side note, SSC wont be moving to A2 until everyone has it.

HunterICX

On second thought.

move on to ArmA II.
I hereby quit my clowns act.

very simple reason I signed on not much for the game, but for the people I played with...since some are moving on the newer one..and I plan not to get it soon or maybe not at all I think I will be lagging behind anyway as almost everyone seems to get it.
I could have continued hosting ArmA I games...but whats the point if fewer and fewer show up because they rather play ArmA II...not that I blame them. New is always more fun....but I singed into the clowns for the gameplay with other players rather then the game.

Modern combat isn't really my stuff but I thought ArmA was fun to play with you lot as long it lasted.

HunterICX

[Task Force]

well, eventualy arma 2 will be in the bargen bin hunter.:up:

[Arclight]

No offense TF, but that's really missing the point. :(

There really has been almost 0 interest for playing Arma the last weeks. I'm sorry to see it break apart like this. I never play any games online, but I do play this with SSC, all the while laughing my ass off. So much so, that I really need to keep my mic on "push-to-talk" to avoid saturating the channel with braindead chuckling constantly. :)

If Hunter bails, I might be able to host if there's interest, but stability isn't exactly optimal. I still have trouble getting Win7 to behave. I can set up a dedicated server when I can't play myself (PC is always on anyway), but I'll need some time to figure that stuff out. :-?

[Task Force]

well, arma 2 will eventualy get old. maby people will start going back to arma 1.:hmmm:

[Arclight]

Maybe, maybe not, but it would be a shame to loose players along the way. Maybe more like leaving players behind. :-?

[Task Force]

And that would be rong.... err... so how many people still play AA1?

I was thinking...

1 hour before the lolwaffes fly on mondays the arma 1 people meet.

1 hour before the lolwaffes fly on fridays, the arma 2 people meet.

or maby some time in the after noon on tuesday or thursday one group can meet, then the other on the other day...

or something so both groups still meet and the people who have arma 1 still can play, without haveing to split... also so the game dosent get old, or boreing because your not finishing everything as quick.:hmmm: and when all the clowns have arma 2 arma 1 can still be played if the arma 1 players feel like it.

[Schroeder]

Well ArmA never really convinced me in a way that Operation Flashpoint did. Although the games are very similar there was always a strange feeling about ArmA that never let me love it. It would be nice to play a mission or two on occasion but not a couple of times a week.

Same here, ArmA is technically supposed to have practically everything OFP has, but OFP always felt better than ArmA for some reason...

[HunterICX]

somethings in ArmA just dont feel right imo.
I can make a list but I just not going to make a rant post out of it.
and therefore I avoid ArmA II as I think it lacks the same things and...I fail to see the ''mayor difference'' beside a new island and some new vehicles and engine fine touching.

what I've would like to see is a ArmA game...from scratch
and take the Vietnam war...now then they have a buyer..because the thing we lack is a infantry sim based on the Vietnam war.

HunterICX

[Task Force]

Agreed about the vietnam part, korea would also be intresting... cause you never know if that little vine down there is a trap.:yep:

[Raptor1]

Agreed about the vietnam part, korea would also be intresting... cause you never know if that little vine down there is a trap.:yep:

Korea was still a conventional war, Vietnam was really focused on Infantry warfare in the jungles

I would love an ArmA WWI mod/similar game, done properly that could be awesome...

[Task Force]

yea, ww1 would be great.:yep: with all ww1s genuine new ways to die... (poison gas, trench warfare, planes that will bomb your trenches.:yep:)

[Schroeder]

Don't forget tanks that you aren't equipped to fight.;)

BTW I don't know whether WWI would make much sense since there is hardly any movement. Do you want to hold your trench or attack the enemy trench just to be pushed back again for four years? :yawn:

BTW I don't know whether WWI would make much sense since there is hardly any movement. Do you want to hold your trench or attack the enemy trench just to be pushed back again for four years? :yawn:

The first and last year of WWI were quite mobile on the Western Front, and the other fronts (Except Gallipoli) were quite mobile most of the time (Even though the Eastern Front was a...err...mobile stalemate)

Besides, ArmA is a tactical-level game, the frustration of constant stalemate only becomes really apparent on the strategic or operational scale

[Dowly]

Might aswell put my clown act on pause too. :hmmm:

WWIIOL's calling. :D

HunterICXThere have been a few. Men of Valor, Vietcong1+2 but all of them were scripted SP campaigns. I actually like VC1 because it had some fun co-op and MP maps and even the scripted SP campaign was quite atmospheric but the AI had some quirks despite being quite good at hiding and taking cover. VC2 didn't grab me for some reason. BF Vietnam was not much chop either.

I agree someone should do a 'Nam infantry sim that lets you operate freely instead of go here shoot that, blow that up watch out for booby traps etc etc.

[Fincuan]

Hai!

I'm now more or less set up at my new apartment, and at least gaming-wise everything went smoothly. PC still works, all gadgets work and internet worked straight out of the box. They dropped the cable-modem here 5 minutes ago, and I just plugged it in and done. I wish more deviced would be that easy to install :)

[Arclight]

Great to be online again. :yep:

Had internet at my new place the day after I moved there, thanks to some carefull planning. :D

Good thing too, or I might have spend 2 weeks staring at the ceiling. :hmmm:

Anyway, glad it worked out and you're set up. :salute:

[Task Force]

yep... glad to hear your setup is working.;)

[Arclight]

You good with the ladies?

Good, 'cause we need players. No point in teamkilling with just 2 of us. :D

How many of the clowns would be willing to have a game tomorrow (Saturday) night if I can whip up a mission or two for us?

Come on, you know you want it. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9E7hf32GYZc)

ArmA 1, latest ace.

[Oberon]

Sounds like an idea. Can I have a mod list for the clowns? :yeah:

[Raptor1]

I guess I could play if I have time to reinstall ArmA 1 and the mods.

[NeonSamurai]

I'll try if I can

[Dowly]

@Oberon

I THINK we are still (read me and Hunter) using the beta 1.16 patch with the latest ACE. Also, ACE island pack and afghan/avgani village addons.

[HunterICX]

:hmmm:

Still have it all installed on my end, latest version of ACE? I think we are one patch short on that iirc

HunterICX

[Dowly]

:hmmm:

Still have it all installed on my end, latest version of ACE I think I need to update right?

HunterICX

Actually, I have no idea. I still got the version we used to play that winter mission. Havent really kept on track on it. :O:

So, let's just say we use the latest, if there's a new one then we'll just update to it. :hmmm:

EDIT: ACE 1.09 is what I have, couldnt find newer version with a quick search.

[HunterICX]

to be clear:

ArmA V1.16 BETA
ACE V1.09 (+Avgani-Afghan/Island Pack)

HunterICX

[NeonSamurai]

Do you guys have any links to this stuff as the ace page on bis is returning dead links.

I'm gonna have to reinstall ACE(removed to save HD space), but yeah I'll try to be there. Then again we could already do that long awaited jump to A2. It's shaping up well and is already miles ahead of 1.

edit: Oh, and btw why aren't we using 1.18 of Arma1 (http://forums.bistudio.com/showpost.php?p=1516045&postcount=2)?

[Schroeder]

I'm not sure that I will be there tomorrow. I have uninstalled ArmA months ago and I forgot how to patch/mod it (let alone whether I really want to do it:-?).

[Dowly]

Ok, well just to clarify, if you have sometime been playing as the clowns, it doesnt mean you have to play all the time. If we play tomorrow, be welcome to join, if you can't, well then you cant. ;)

[Arclight]

You evil... ferret, you! :lol:

Already have plans to go over to a friend. :(

I suppose that you guys wouldn't play ArmA 2 by chance?

Nope.

Which patches do I need to install before the 1.16 beta?

[HunterICX]

I have stock ArmA patched to 1.14

HunterICX

[Oberon]

Hmmm, that could be a problem, I'm pretty sure I'm patched to 1.18... :hmmm:

[HunterICX]

Mmm...I'm just downloading 1.18 just in case...its just 132 megabytes.
we'll see how we work it out.

anyhow, Dowly said he'll be online around 2000 - 2100 gmt (around the usuall flying time for the ones that are used to fly with the waffles)

he already warned me there's a chance he passes out before that time :D

we probally use my Teamspeak server and I will have it running around the time (see above) I will post a anouncement here when it's up anyway.

see you in a bit :salute:

HunterICX

[Raptor1]

Right, I'm pretty much set, just have to install ACEIP and Avgani/Afghan Village.

Wonder if I still have the Terminator Stalin face and the evil demon voice sound file...

[Oberon]

I'll be there but I won't have mike access, but then again, neither will Dowly :hmmm::har:

[Dowly]

right, sorry to be so late with thisd but it's gonna take to atleast 22-23gmt to get there. If there's enough of you start playing and I join in... I go to pub now. :woot:

[Oberon]

And that's the last we'll see of him... :har:

[Raptor1]

Typical...

[HunterICX]

[SgtPotato]

Installing ArmA now :up:

[SgtPotato]

umm... What's the password for arma server? :oops:

EDIT: that's pissed me off that you didn't bother to check the teamspeck because I have no way to get the attention. My microphone isn't working at all and I can't even get in the arma server without password.

[Oberon]

There was no telling what my ARMA would do if I tried to alt-tab in the middle of a game, probably freeze up and chuck me out. :hmmm:

In other news, don't give Hunter grenades...or me a SMAW :hmmm:

[HunterICX]

same here alt-tabbing out of ArmA gives me a risk of a complete System lock up.

but for all who are new to our arma games by default the pasword is ''subsim'' (without the quotes)

anyhow...yeah well....seems towelheads have a good throwing arm...they chucked 2 grenades at our location giving me enough time to shout a ''Ow Crap'' on teamspeak :dead:

HunterICX

[Oberon]

I couldn't shout anything other than "aaaghgahahaghhaah *gurgle*" having been blatted by the aforementioned towelheads a few moments before because my character is allergic to lying down on stairs... :hmmm:

Justice!
for beeing absent :stare:

:O: Well, for what it's worth let's see if we can keep it going let's say 1 game per week.

just to be clear.

-I'm not moving to ArmA 2, so don't give me this ''let's move to ArmA 2'' talk. My viewpoint hasn't changed about ArmA 2.
I'm trying to get the group back alive that play ArmA 1, so for people that want their ArmA 2 fit...you'll have to look for something else.
both games in the same group didn't mix (that was shown the last time)

-I can/will and try to host the ArmA games.

-We don't care if your good or bad, the only requirement you need is just be nuts enought to play with us in the first place :D

so what say you?
SubSim Clowns back in Action?

HunterICX

[Fincuan]

Let's move to Arma2? :DL

Seriously, I just tried 1 again after a long pause and wow, does it run bad compared to 2. Especially the mouse lag, uff... I now truly see what people meant by the control lag.

[HunterICX]

Look, stick with ArmA 2 if you don't like to play ArmA 1

I try to get the group back on its feet for the ones that play for the group, not the ones that constantly complain about the dated game.
Not to sound hostile, but the move to ArmA 2 dropped the group pretty dead back then as it showed that 2 games in 1 group just doesn't work.

The problem for me with ArmA2 and ACE2 is because the installation process is too complicated for me and there's no ACE2 version of Evolution. So I rather to stick with ArmA1 until they got the evolution work for ACE2 in ArmA2.

[Oberon]

My problem with ARMA2 is my computer won't run it :O:

[NeonSamurai]

Well I am game to start playing Arma 1 again with you all (even if I am not a huge ace fan), though I am rusty as all heck and don't know ace very well.

Hopefully you all will be playing when I can (I'm limited to weekends pretty much).

[Arclight]

I'm game. I don't have problems with older games. :yep:

Stopped playing A2 after "the great clowns collapse", to be honest. Not that it's bad, just got distracted by a pile of other games. :hmmm:

Maybe even better. :)

Toyed with that idea for a bit as well.

[Dowly]

Right, like Hunter said (atleast to me), he's planning on hosting one (1) session a week. This gives us time to find and/or make missions for us so we dont have to play that same darned intell mission over and over again (not that there's something wrong with it).

So, I'm ok with building missions for us (if I can ever figure out how to use the revive script :doh:) and would like to hear what kind of missions you'd like to see? The last time I made a mission, it went abit messy with craploads of stuff in it with half of it not even working for MP, so I'm going to keep them simple in the future.

How people like night stuff? Obviously, if it's specop mission there's no point having it in broad daylight. :hmmm: But on the other hand, I think specops are best suited for us simply because they can be made good and light at the same time.

Single objective or multi? Again, abit of an double-edged sword thingy. Having multiple objectives per mission will result in fewer missions on the same set-up, but it also makes for longer missions which IMHO is always good. Then again, spreading the objectives over multiple missions helps me to make cleaner missions and briefings and naturally makes the missions run smoother. I'll try to have the missions tied up together, so I guess it boils down to if we want to play the "story" in big or small chunks at a time.

Loadouts. Want to pick your weapons from the crates or keep the loadout to the classes (Support has MG, demoguy carries the explosives etc. etc.)?

Discuss!

[Oberon]

Spec-Ops missions are probably best considering it's likely that there will be a small number of us although I do quite enjoy infantry style missions.
Night ops are fair game, I'll have to practice some of those. :salute:
Not too fussy on the uni-or-multi objective, I guess it depends on the objective involved. For something like capturing an enemy position, if there are a large group of enemies there, then only one objective is needed, but for special forces missions I guess more than one objective would be required as multiple targets would need to be dropped.
Hmmm, picking weapons from crates would probably be best as it'll give those of us who have a particular favourite type of weapon a chance to use it. :salute:

[HunterICX]

Just do what your able to, Dowly

I'm pretty fine with everything as long it aint too much for the amount of people we would have available to play.

if you want to experiment with scripts or trigger events go ahead if it fails it's just something you could learn from anyway.

Objectives, as before I prefer a chain of missions that have something in relation with eachother like a good old fashion tom clancy game :yeah:

Weapon load out, I say crates are my preference, but dont stack'em with all of the weapons variants...give a fair crate.

[SgtPotato]

Weapon crates would be good because some of us are very good with some kind of specific weapons and we can choose what we want.

And I also agreed with Hunter.

[Task Force]

lol... Love to play, but dont have arma 1... and lost ma key for arma 2.:rotfl2:

[Dowly]

I will officially boycott the M4 in arma from now on. It sucks. I mean, it reaaally sucks. I did 5 or 6 tests with the silenced M4 and the fewest amount of bullets it took to kill a civilian when shot to back from 5 meters was 4 rounds. In one test it took 7 (SEVEN) rounds to kill the bastard. :haha:

POS I tell you. :yep:

[Arclight]

How about a silenced MP5, or is that subject off-limits? :hmmm: :lol:

[Dowly]

How about a silenced MP5, or is that subject off-limits? :hmmm: :lol:

No, not at all. Good you brought it up, the M4SD is pretty much as effective as the MP5SD (Ok, I made only one test with the mp5 and it took 5 shots, BUT the first two shots were from 30 meters instead of the 5m I used for the M4 :O:).

[Schroeder]

It's still ridicules. You should only need one shot to kill someone if you aim for vital parts.

[Dowly]

Oh well, we always got the Hk147 or just grab an AK from a dead russian/insurgent. :DL

Which leads me to another thing I've noticed, the AK is super accurate. Now, I know it uses a different round than the M4 and all that, but goddammit, for the sake of balance that thing is ridiculously accurate. Just last night I made a quick sniping mission where I was 500 meters from the enemy, first I used the snipers and killed them. Then I restarted and took the RPK, the darn thing has almost no dispersion even at that range... on full auto. :doh:

Dispersion of the RPK at 450 meters on full auto:

PKM isnt that far behind:

[SgtPotato]

Do you know what I really want to be in ArmA, beside being a regular soldier?

I want to be a Special Force Operator. Wearing a baseball cap, eating Kevlar, and grow my own combat beard would be damn cool. I might look like that guy:

[Arclight]

So you want a Mr. SgtPotato Head? :lol:



Btw, does TS3 work with TS2? :06:

[Dowly]

Btw, does TS3 work with TS2? :06:

AFAIK, no. (not 100% sure)

Which leads me to the next question: Are we playing tonight?

Not that I have any missions ready, but if Hunter (given he wants to play tonight) has Fincuan's old mission still saved we can try that. Or if all else fails, I can make one or two very simple missions with no story. I have two simple ideas ready, just need to make them, only problem will be the revive script, dont know if I can get it to work. :hmmm:

[Arclight]

I'll get TS2 then.

I'm trying to install ARMA at the moment, my first attempt failed; installed over old, modded install, so no surprise really. :roll:

I don't care what we play, if we play. Just a bit of messing around is fine with me. :)



(I'd like to try my hand at mission making too, but I never made anything for MP, no idea how to make that work. :hmmm:)

[Dowly]

Making missions for MP is a real PITA. Half the stuff that works for SP doesnt work for MP or if it does, it needs some extra step to make it work. I spent a fricking 2hrs trying to find a good text to speech program, recording and then editing the sounds to get some radio comms to the winter mission I made just to find out Hunter didnt see or hear any off it. :damn:

That's why I would want to keep the missions simple, pisses me off to see something I worked my arse off not working in the end. :x

[Arclight]

Yep, had the same issues. Some stuff works fine in the editor, only to fail in MP. :-?

Still using 1.16 and ACE 1.09?

[Dowly]

I'm not sure. Hunter said something about how the AI seems more better in 1.18, so maybe they went from 1.16 to 1.18 while I was drinking my head straigh.t :hmmm:

[SgtPotato]

We're using 1.18 for now. Better to get that patch.

[Raptor1]

I'd rather use 1.18, ArmA needs every real, hypothetical or imaginary AI improvement it can get.

I probably won't be able to play today, but most chances are I'll either be around next week or join you after you start.

BTW what are the advantages of TS3 over TS2?

[Arclight]

The marketing speech (http://www.teamspeak.com/?page=teamspeak3) is "crystal clear quality" and "vastly reduced latency". Complete rewrite in C++. Improved Security and Privacy. Stunning 3D Sound Effects. Firewall Friendly File Transfer. etc
We're using 1.18 for now. Better to get that patch.
Thanks :salute:

[Raptor1]

Well, vastly reduced latency would be nice, I hate saying something only to be beaten to it by Schroeder...

[Task Force]

Lol, yea raptor, I know the feeling...:yep: lol

[Arclight]

Are we on? Would need some info for the TS server btw, IP/server address would be nice. :hmmm:

[Dowly]

No idea.

[SgtPotato]

I'm not sure if Hunter's on.

[Dowly]

Just wait. We'll see. Patience tits.

[Arclight]

You'll never get anywhere in life with that attitude. :roll: :O: :D

[SgtPotato]

Potate? Geez, I shouldn't show you the Miranda GIF as your sig because it distracted you from typing it right. :har:

[SgtPotato]

Potate? Geez, I shouldn't show you the Miranda GIF as your sig because it distracted you from typing it right. :har:

[Dowly]

Where the heck did my post go? :haha:

Anywho, I tested different methods of triggering custom sounds on MP with Potato and all seemed to work just fine. Dont know what was up with Hunter not hearing the on the winter mission. :06:

[SgtPotato]

Whoa. That forum hung up and caused me to double post... :doh:

[HunterICX]

I will anounce well in advance when there is a game going on for that evening...I try to do it on the same day to avoid unpredictable things going on which prevents me from beeing present.

HunterICX

[Dowly]

Well, the first mission is almost done. Just tested the revive script with Potato and it worked, so YAY for that. :yeah:

[SgtPotato]

Might want to add bandages for the medic, only for dressing the wounds.

[Arclight]

Ah, functional medic might be nice, yes. :lol:

[Dowly]

Goddammit, there will be bandages and plenty of morphine to see pink elephants for the remainder of the campaign! :stare:

Potato, just forget everything you saw during the test. *shakes fist*

[Raptor1]

Medics are overrated, we need only enough strategic bombers in order to flatten any man, vehicle and satellite dish present so that we may drive away with the war loot unopposed...

[Arclight]

Strategic bombers are rather indiscriminate about what they vaporise. Good luck finding that warloot. :)

And you know what's even better than carpet-bombing? Morphine, man, morphine. :88)

[Dowly]

Medics are overrated, we need only enough strategic bombers in order to flatten any man, vehicle and satellite dish present so that we may drive away with the war loot unopposed...

A-HA! See that's why the first few missions will be in piss poor weather, so we have to go in on foot instead of watching the air do all the work. :O:

(Ok ok, I just couldnt figure out the viewdistance stuff yet, so there's fog to hamper the visibility. But it does look nice during the night. :yep:)

[Raptor1]

No carpet bombing? But...but...that means we'll have to do all the work ourselves!

How horrible...

[HunterICX]

No carpet bombing? But...but...that means we'll have to do all the work ourselves!

How horrible...

It's just executing people the old way, that aint so horrible now is it?

HunterICX

[Arclight]

Just a bit more labor-intensive. :)

[Raptor1]

Not so much, but it still requires unnessecary work... :hmmm:

Oh, well, I guess that means the war loot won't get blown apart.

[Dowly]

No carpet bombing? But...but...that means we'll have to do all the work ourselves!

How horrible...

I'll promise you have your big boom on some later mission. :)

[Arclight]

GBU-31 FTW :rock:

My dear Raptor, you think too small!

[HunterICX]

I'm planning to host a game tonight
20.00 GMT (22.00 GMT+1)

meeting point - GWX Teamspeak

*if for a reason I'm not able to make it I'll try to notify in advance

HunterICX

[Dowly]

Righto, cant guarantee that my mission will be ready, but will try to get the mission done for tonight. I started changing a few things here and there last night and now it's kinda messy. :O:

But we'll see what we play tonight, then. :salute:

[SgtPotato]

Wait, tonight? I thought we're going to do it on the weekend.

Well, I can try to show up at 4pm because I got a class at 6pm. I can't promise you that I can stay to play more than two hours.

[Arclight]

Yay, tonight. Gonna be a rough morning tomorrow. :lol:

HunterICX

I was not aware 20:00 GMT becomes 22:00 GMT+1...

Then again, it could be my ignorance of the timezone system, infernal thing it is...!

[Arclight]

No, you're right, was thinking that as well. GMT isn't affected by summer/winter time. 20:00 GMT translates to 21:00 local here (GMT +1). ;)

The statement is correct for summer-time though. :yep:

*I think. :hmmm:

[Raptor1]

Curse you, infernal timezones!

[SgtPotato]

I agreed with you, Raptor. It does not look good to me because I got less than an hour before I head off to the class at 6.

[Oberon]

Wait..what?

We're going at 9 GMT, right?
If not, has the TS server been sapped? :hmmm:

[Raptor1]

We're going at 9 GMT, right?


I think that was the intention...

...That's in 50 minutes, right?

[Oberon]

I dunno...

Does Hunter? :doh:

[Raptor1]

It is entirely possible he died or was driven mad from the confusion created by the infernal timezones...

[Dowly]

The usual time. In 40 minutes.

[SgtPotato]

Is the same IP for TS like we did for lolwaffles and gulagwaffles?

[HunterICX]

seems the GWX TS is down,
I have mine up: **** (no pass) *you might wanna give it a couple of tries before it finally connects you

[SgtPotato]

Aww, you guys get all the fun while I'm stuck in the class, listening the lecture about the next project! :damn:

[Oberon]

I'll bring my little tank and rescue you!! :rock:

[HunterICX]

I'll bring my little tank and rescue you!! :rock:

We'll have to be carefull with you and vehicles...especially tracked vehicles....:o

HunterICX

[Dowly]

I'll bring my little tank and rescue you!! :rock:

Haha, that was so funny. :haha: It felt so surreal, first Hunter comes to "help me" when I get wounded and throws me off the factory roof, then when I'm patched up I look to my left and see you ram that M113 thru the fence. Had a brief "Oh god.. what next..." moment there. :DL

Good game, the factory proved again to be a great place to be if you're looking for action in that mission. :yeah: Surprised that neither me or Hunter got killed there, we got wounded maybe 5-6 times in total, but the other always rushed to help the wounded one and the fight kept on going. :salute:

[Oberon]

Yeah, I could hear all the action on teamspeak but just couldn't get in because of MOSSAD. Still, I got there in time to bring the cavalry in! :yeah:
Then get shot. :salute: Then respawn and then get shot in our own base :doh:

Damn sneaky towelheads... :damn:

[SgtPotato]

Before I left to class, I was kinda spamming the M203 grenades over the wall where oberon spotted a bi-pod stuck in the wall. I fired too high. :doh:

[Raptor1]

I killed a crippled civilian (It was an accident!) and several satellite dishes, therefore I achieved more than anybody else!

[SgtPotato]

Good thing that you ended his suffering of being crippled.

[Arclight]

The guy was still walking last time I saw him. :roll:

Wonder how he got crippled... :hmmm:

[Task Force]

Lol, Raptor is just trying to uphold the motto of the glorious motherland... HES A SPY!!! SHOOT HIM!!!:rotfl2:

By simple logic the man must have been a spy, so he got what he deserved...

[Arclight]

Simple logic:

Not member of team = SPY
Member of team = POSSIBLE SPY

:D

Yea raptor... ya know, From what im to understand... Arclight has been comeing up with some imperialist ideas... *cough cough.:rotfl2: (remember, aim for the head.)

[Task Force]

SHOOT HIM!!!

*shoots Arclight with the 25mm*

((Yeah, yeah, way too late... *yawn*))

[Arclight]

Btw, Hunter, remember when I said you probably had more games? Think I was mistaken...

Did a count:
24 Steam games
20 digital distribution (non-Steam) games
63 boxed games, excluding expansions and doubles

...

Anyone interested in a free copy of Civilization 4 or Fallout 3?
Got FO3 GOTY and Civ4 Complete, so the old copies are gathering dust.
Got Fallout 3 at release, so it comes with manual. Civ4 I got from bargain-bin, so no docs in the case. Both in good condition, no scratches on the disc. I'll even pay for shipping; consider it a late Xmas present. ;)

[Oberon]

Wow...that's quite an offer. If you wouldn't mind I'd put in a bid for both. I've had both on my watch list for a while but never had the money to part for them. Particularly Fallout 3 which looks to be right up my street in terms of plot and gameplay. :up:

[Arclight]

Alright, first come first served. :D

Just PM (or Skype or E-mail, whatever you prefer) a correct and complete mailing address (kinda important :roll:) and I'll get it out the door asap. :yep:

[Oberon]

Thanks Arclight! :yeah:

I think it varies depending on how Hunter feels, if he's up to hosting, then he'll host, if not then he won't.

How's the latest Clowns vid coming along? :up:

[Dowly]

How's the latest Clowns vid coming along? :up:

It's not. I recorded pretty much the whole game, but there wasnt that much happening. We were pretty scattered during the times I had time to look at the action, so it would've been more like "HunterICX & Dowly" video. And on top of that, I accidentally recorded it at half-size, so the quality was pretty crap. :oops:

[Oberon]

D'oh! :haha:
You should at least upload the rooftop healing bit and the M113 arrival. That was comical :03:
