Any suggestions on which game? Regular or infantry Domi, East or West?

[Oberon]

Ja wohl. That works for me. :salute:

[Oberon]

Any suggestions on which game? Regular or infantry Domi, East or West?

Regular East (but without base-raping American AI) :yep:

[Lionclaw]

22:00 CET then? Since GMT is 2 hours behind due to Summer Time.

[Raptor1]

In 1 hour and 12 minutes is the regular time, in case timezones are too convoluted to understand.

Meet on TS or just the server?

[Lionclaw]

I've installed TeamSpeak 3, hopefully that's the correct version since there's a TS2 as well.

[Fincuan]

Arma2 Domi :D

Tonight "regular time" means after the CL final for me btw

[Raptor1]

I've installed TeamSpeak 3, hopefully that's the correct version since there's a TS2 as well.

Good...but we're using TS2...

[Arclight]

:haha: Sorry Lion. ;)

Yeah, might as well try it both at the same time. See how that pans out. :hmmm:

^ How the hell did Owner get into his account? :hmmm:

[Dimitrius07]

O man :damn:
I am looking for some dude who like to play online games. He is (as mention) a very unique player with classic ownage skillz, such as cheats. So maybe if he likes to play online he also play with you, and if you ever met him just gimme a shout. He used to be a Spanish guy who shake his head and type jajaja when he kill someone. Reminds me of a good old times when i lol`d so hard that i couldn`t even sleep :yep: :rock:

[Oberon]

Hmmm...anyone else think it's about time we rose again and levelled some innocent villages? :hmmm: It's been a while...

[Arclight]

Was thinking the same thing few days ago. :yep:

Dedicated server is still there, never touched a thing. Might need to set up the shortcut to it with proper parameters, but that's it.

Probably best to keep it private though; letting it run public (24/7) just leads to playing it to death. :hmmm:

[Oberon]

It's still there? :o Odd...I tried to access it a few weeks back and couldn't see it on the list...must have caught it on a down period. Unless of course you mean that the server is still available but just isn't loaded...in which case completely ignore what I just said :yep:
But yes, public is all well and good but can be very messy, as we have witnessed.

[Raptor1]

It also stopped being fun when everyone just came and went and nothing was really organized. We should also run more no-vehicle games, see how that works.

Beside Sahrani and Schmalfelden, are there any other maps that Domination can be run on?

[Fincuan]

I suggest going back to the roots and doing "normal" coops a-la how it was in OFP. A mission is selected(or made) and quickly tested to work, everyone shows up at the same time like on the Lolwaffles side of things. Shorter missions than Domi with more focused and properly scaled objectives, preferably infantry, and I'm sureeeee most of us managed to maintain interesta bit better than before.

Also we could finally consider the transition to Arma2. It has matured really well and is a solid experience with ACE2 and ACEX. Furthermore there's some stuff available for it that just doesn't exist for Arma1. My scopes pack is naturally something that would warrant the switch on its own, but then there's also smaller suff like this this (http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=103472) :D

[HunterICX]

Out of curiosity,

ArmA and ArmA 2

does Arma 2 have the same stability issues where it crashed and/or overheats your card which results into a system freeze and BSOD?

because with ArmA on my older rig I suffered these random freezes/BSOD's which made sometimes a mess out of my system when I rebooted.

HunterICX

[Oberon]

If you transit to ARMA2 then I think I'll have to stop, I honestly don't think my rig would handle it. Not the CPU. :nope:

[HunterICX]

Don't worry obe, they don't even sell the normal ArmA II around here anymore...however they do have the Operation Arrowhead expansion on the shelves.

was just wondering if ArmA 2 at least is improved in it's stability

HunterICX

[Raptor1]

I haven't had any problems with stability in either games that I can recall, but one thing I absolutely hate about ArmA 1 is that after playing a while it slows down to a crawl.

[Oberon]

Hmmm, actually, it seems according to 'Can You Run It?' I can run ARMA2...just.

http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/3814/arma2.jpg

[Raptor1]

I'm not sure one can count on that; ArmA 2 was a system hog, at least when it came out. Might work with the latest patches, not sure though.

So, what do we do with ArmA 1 for now?

[Dowly]

I'm not sure one can count on that; ArmA 2 was a system hog, at least when it came out.

This. The true minimum (good constant FPS) is closer to the recommended specs than the given minimum specs.

[Arclight]

Must... resist... complaining... ugh, Dowly, remember when we tried running the first mission of that coop-campaign? For the love of god. :nope:


So basically; "on-demand" private games, more infantry focused, smaller scale missions.

Agreed. :yep:

[Dowly]

Must... resist... complaining... ugh, Dowly, remember when we tried running the first mission of that coop-campaign? For the love of god. :nope:

Sigh... don't remind me. :shifty:

[Dowly]

Anyone got anything brewing? :hmmm:

[Arclight]

Just some coffee, a headache and world domination.

[Schroeder]

and world domination.
Hey!!! That's my job!:nope:

[Arclight]

What's the fun if there isn't any competition? :DL

[Dowly]

What's the fun if there isn't any competition? :DL

I bet Uncle-Adolf would have a few hundred reasons to that. :O:

[Arclight]

:haha:

Pfft, if you could achieve world domination just by being a rascist, we'd be ruled by the KKK by now. :roll:

[Raptor1]

:haha:

Pfft, if you could achieve world domination just by being a rascist, we'd be ruled by the KKK by now. :roll:

You could theoretically achieve world domination by being a racist and having that backed up by several million troops, though...

[Lionclaw]

Stops being fun when one gets 100 000 Desync. :doh:

[Arclight]

It does, doesn't it. :hmm2:

You could theoretically achieve world domination by being a racist and having that backed up by several million troops, though...
But not putting potential soldiers in concentration camps due to being a rascist gives you more troops.

[Raptor1]

But not putting potential soldiers in concentration camps due to being a rascist gives you more troops.

Well, yes, nobody said it was an efficient method of world domination.

[HunterICX]

World Domination...bah such a low aim....I'm to rule the Universe and beyond!

[Oberon]

http://www.rrr.org.au/assets/doctor-who-three.jpg

Why rule the Universe....when you can rule Time ITSELF!!

[Raptor1]

Because time is relative and therefore control of the universe is necessary for truly controlling time itself...or something...

So, nobody has anything for ArmA?

[Arclight]

I'll see if I can get that server running.

[Arclight]

Yes, yes I can. Good to go on this end, just need to decide on when.

[Oberon]

I've not got anything planned for tonight... :hmmm:

[Raptor1]

Neither have I.

[Arclight]

*sigh* I'll go make some coffee then...

:O:

[Dowly]

If anyone still got my face file in the... where ever it is, I could use it. :yep:

[Raptor1]

I have the one I sent you back in March or so, does that help?

[Dowly]

I have the one I sent you back in March or so, does that help?

Which one that is? :hmmm:

EDIT: Anything's better than nothing.

[Raptor1]

I haven't a clue, I'll just send it and you'll see.

[Dowly]

Yeh, that's the earlier version which I liked more. Thanks. :salute:

[Arclight]

Can't load up the custom SSC stuff, so we'll have to make due with some default ACE stuff for the moment.

[Raptor1]

What sort of custom stuff did we have again?

[Dowly]

What sort of custom stuff did we have again?

Custom domination missions. Don't recall what we had there tho.

[Raptor1]

Ah, those.

Are we not better off running a mission or something instead of Domi?

[Arclight]

Gee, thanks. I didn't bust my balls to get more in there or anything like that. :shifty:


And yes, but are there any good ones?

[Oberon]

Odd, the SSC missions were viewable in the mission selection screen on the server... :hmmm:

My helo piloting skills still seem to be alright...lighthouses are still lighthouses, I think I'm good to go :rock:

[Raptor1]

Gee, thanks. I didn't bust my balls to get more in there or anything like that. :shifty:


And yes, but are there any good ones?

Should be, we used to run a few of them.

[Arclight]

Yeah it did that once before. I shortened the mission name in the editor then and it worked, doesn't want to now. Non of the domi stuff for that matter. :doh:

:hmmm:

Does ACE need an actual installer to be run or can I just add -mod=@ACE..? Like I did?
Should be, we used to run a few of them.
Well just pick something. I don't know the missions. :oops:

[Dowly]

Should be, we used to run a few of them.

Problem is that most ACE coop missions are designed for 10-30 people and have no revives.

[Dowly]

Does ACE need an actual installer to be run or can I just add -mod=@ACE..? Like I did?

It does use an installer when you install it, but if you had it saved somewhere as the installed @ACE folder then I doubt you need to re-install it.

[Raptor1]

Problem is that most ACE coop missions are designed for 10-30 people and have no revives.

Domi is designed for more players too...

[Dowly]

Domi is designed for more players too...

But it has an respawn and you can't really cock up the missions. :03:

[Raptor1]

True, but it's also very hard to achieve anything without resorting to tank rush tactics unless you have a fair amount of players.

[Dowly]

Heeeey, Arc and me cleaned up towns many a times all by ourselves on foot! :yep:

But hey, I'm not against "mission" missions, just someone find suitable ones.

[Arclight]

But then, we reduced the size of enemy groups and their numbers. Not to mention tossing out those aircraft and adding our own, remember? :O:

* oh and added some "scorched earth" scripts in there. Gonna miss ma arty. :(


Tried reinstalling the ACE stuff, no change.

[Oberon]

Got to go afk for fifteen, be back soon.

[Raptor1]

Are we meeting on the Speak of the Teams or on the server?

[Dowly]

Are we meeting on the Speak of the Teams or on the server?

Not sure if we even got anything to play. :hmmm: Arc got some missions that work, but no idea if they are made for ACE or not.

[Raptor1]

Did Arc put the ACE Keys and Dta files in as well?

[Arclight]

Huh, what, where?

Didn't change a thing since last time we ran it really. Had to reinstall the game and patch again to get it to run, but it was on top of previous install. Reran ACE installer as well.

All the missions and keys and whatnot never got moved.

[Raptor1]

Does all the ACE stuff work except our missions, then?

[Arclight]

Aparently the Domi stuff dun' work.

[Oberon]

So...what exactly is happening? :hmmm:

[Arclight]

Jabbering on TS. Not really much to play without our custom stuff working. :-?

[Dowly]

That last mission was nice. :yeah:

[Raptor1]

Well, we eventually took the road and killed pretty much all of the infantry, the BRDM, the BMP and a few more UAZs, so we can call this a victory...I think...what was the objective again?

One has to admire the courage of the SLA troops as they climb over the bodies of dozens of their slain comrades to attack us, though.

[Oberon]

Nice but desperately in need of more players, I think we took down over a hundred SLA and there were more coming, and that's before we got to the first objective :doh:
If we play that one again it might be worth going around a different way perhaps. Maybe if you alert the SLA it sends a massive wave of guys your way...still, the battle on the cliffside was pretty awesome I gotta admit...even if I spent most of it being shot, wounded and revived.

http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/9667/clownchopper.jpg

"Jump Out" :har:

Aye, just finished reading the 'Winter War' novel last night and the last mission reminded me of the last attacks of the Red Army over the river Vuoksi. Ice filled with bodies yet they pushed on numerous times a day.

Only thing missing was the Suomi SMG mod for the MP5. :D

Tried the Black Sword yeasterday, seemed like an ok mission. Tho, I never got onto the ground as I always managed to jump in the middle of enemies. The Dynamic: sabotage is pretty much like Domination, except the missions are more like the side missions of Domi. You start in a small base and head off with either HALO drop by team leader or chopper.

[Castout]

Nah, mate. Just Arma 1.

Some of us have it, but have troubles with performance.





Umm as long as it stays above 20 it's alright(hey it's not a racing game). In fact Arrowhead is lighter than ArmA 2 except for the ZargaFAT :nope:.

FPS would hit even 60s in desert terrain with sparse grass.

SP campaign is still poor in performance because all the AI computation and my CPU being not that great but hey as long as it stays above 20 it's decently playable. It's really CPU intensive I think.

Playing warfare is manageable as long as it's run on dedicated server!:03:

When ArmA 1 came out I didn't have the interest to play soldiering. Thought it was kind of lame (not realizing ArmA was not the usual FPS)

[Raptor1]

But not all of us have ArmA 2 or computers that can properly run it, so ArmA 1 for us.

[Dowly]

Both me and Arc have A2 and the performance, even after countless of "improved performance" patches, is crap.

As for OA, of course desert maps have better performance than those with lots of trees, grass etc. :O:

[Fincuan]

I could do some missions for A2, but I doubt I'll want to re-learn that side of A1 again. At least I won't be doing anything complicated. On the engine side of things A2 is a better beast altogether than A1(new scripting commands, better FSM-support, etc...), and for some reason I always tend to insert a crapload of scripts and stuff to my missions. :D

[Dowly]

If you want, you could build an template mission for A1 with the revive script and the settings script (view distance, grass level etc. like in Domi). ;)

Would make life a tad easier for me and anyone else who wants to make missions for us. :yep:

Ow and you wouldn't have my Suomi M/31 for ACE MP5 still laying around somewhere? I've lost it again. :oops:

[Fincuan]

That template thingy I could do no probs, but there are also readily made templated available. For example BAS-f (http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BAS_f) has plenty of stuff already in it.

Here's (http://cid-1240af4b4e5a5c3a.office.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/Arma/fincuan%20replacement%20acefdf%20suomikp.7z) SuomiKP. That link should be pretty much permanent.

[Arclight]

It's on the list actually, but was planning on waiting untill it all gets bundled into a gold/goty version. :hmmm:

What graphics card are you using?


btw, found demo: http://www.fileshack.com/file.x/20241/ARMA+2:+Operation+Arrowhead+Demo

[Fincuan]

It's on the list actually, but was planning on waiting untill it all gets bundled into a gold/goty version. :hmmm:


That one is called Combined Ops and has been out ever since Arrowhead came out.

[Arclight]

Actually, I meant OA + BAF. I'm all for .338 Lapua, but I have no desire to purchase stock ArmA2 again. Especially considering new content will be made available for OA, not normal A2.

[Raptor1]

I've been considering rebuying ArmA 2 with CO. It's only $10 more than Arrowhead and it will serve to replace that fishy German Metaboli copy I have.

Probably won't do it anytime soon, though.

[Arclight]

... it will serve to replace that fishy German Metaboli copy I have.
There's that, but why bother? It's all about OA now. :-?

Better to get just OA and spend those 10 bucks on the BAF expansion imho.

[Oberon]

I got wounded before I even saw the convoy...although in a haze of black I did see the Shilka drive past and hit Fins mines. I think that'd be a mission to try again sometime, and this time I won't waste my only AT missile on a MG bunker (I thought I had more than 1 shot :cry:).
The Hummer mission was a good laugh though, those petrol stations! :rock:
And the less said about the 'For a few dollars more' mission, the better :haha:

[Raptor1]

There's that, but why bother? It's all about OA now. :-?

[Arclight]

Does OA include the old Chernarus map and content?As far as I know, you can "integrate" content from Arma 2 into OA. Don't know if it matters which language version you have. :hmmm:

[Fincuan]

As far as I know, you can "integrate" content from Arma 2 into OA. Don't know if it matters which language version you have. :hmmm:

Yes, you should be able to run all original Arma2-content as mods in OA. The files should be exactly the same no matter the language, it's just the .exe that is hardlocked to a certain language or languages.

[Arclight]

That's good news as far as I'm concerned. :yep:

The one where you start in the forest, and have to go on foot for quite a distance evading enemy patrols?

[Dowly]

The one where you start in the forest, and have to go on foot for quite a distance evading enemy patrols?

Yeh, that one. What an atmosphere it had. :rock:

EDIT: Think the mission is "After Montiqnac"

EDIT2: Oberon, I encoded the "Drag Oberon around" mission too, let me know if you want to see it and I'll upload it. Tho, for some reason there was much more quality drop on it than the Humvee mission eventho I used the same settings to encode the vid. :doh:

[Oberon]

Are we going to have another bash tonight? :hmmm:

[Dowly]

Are we going to have another bash tonight? :hmmm:

If we get peeps to join then yeh, why not (glances at the half empty vodka bottle). :D

Arc is away, sleeping or busy otherwise so we prolly need someone to host. I can host the ambush mission thingy if no one else shows up.

Arc's TS is up and running, so meet there in 1½ hours or so? (30min later than the "usual" time)

[Oberon]

2030Z it is :rock:

[Dowly]

2030Z it is :rock:

I suck in timezone's so, 1hr from this post. :DL

EDIT: Might run 10-15min late.

EDIT2: Actually, make that 30min, my soundcard stopped working (hence the last edit), still trying to figure this out. :doh: I'll pop onto TS or edit this one if I can't get this POS to work. :shifty:

[Oberon]

Looks like it'll just be us two Dowly, so I wouldn't worry about it. Perhaps tomorrow night. :yep:

[Dowly]

Looks like it'll just be us two Dowly, so I wouldn't worry about it. Perhaps tomorrow night. :yep:

Aye, I don't seem to get this fricking thing to work. Re-installed drivers, took the card out and dusted it, still won't work. :nope:

I got a onboard card but it's disabled atm, so yeh, let's see tomorrow, can't be arsed to enable it and get drivers etc. for it.

Like my old Garfield mouse pad said: I love my computer, but my computer hates me. :shifty: [Insert image of monitor showing tongue to Garfield here]

EDIT: Ow, I'll upload the last mission "Fools for fuel", tonight or so. (I think I deserve an medal for what I did, to grow my ego-penis[really, it's pretty small, so all help appreciated])

[Oberon]

I'm pretty sure you'll get a medal but it'll be post-humorous and probably presented to your coffin by Bill Gates... :hmmm:

[Castout]

It's on the list actually, but was planning on waiting untill it all gets bundled into a gold/goty version. :hmmm:

What graphics card are you using?


btw, found demo: http://www.fileshack.com/file.x/20241/ARMA+2:+Operation+Arrowhead+Demo


Graphics card? 9800GTX+ 512Mb. You see I don't have a supercomputer. With that graphics card I'm 100% sure I can almost max out the game graphics but I'm limited by my CPU. I'm guessing 3GHz Quadcore would be more than enough.

[Dowly]

Bill Gates... :hmmm:

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU- :damn:

Aye, that was one of the greatest missions I've had personally. I was hoping the truck would've unloaded the troops and stormed where I dragged you, would've been like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5fW_khdf7U

Love that movie, and the two snipers in real life, I don't think Medal of Honor is enough for them, that's some bravery right there, nothing like giving your life for your countryman. :salute:

I had the "honor" of playing as Delta 2 sniper in one of tacticalgamer missions in Arma 2, what a fun it was. Listening to the strict radio chatter from the human operated convoy coming closer and closer and we try to keep our positions at the crashsite. AWESOME.

[Arclight]

Graphics card? 9800GTX+ 512Mb. You see I don't have a supercomputer. With that graphics card I'm 100% sure I can almost max out the game graphics but I'm limited by my CPU. I'm guessing 3GHz Quadcore would be more than enough.
Don't be so sure; 3.4GHz quad here and a 8800GTS512. The settings I posted before work well enough, but it's far from ideal.

[Dowly]

Anyone up for a game tonight?

[Raptor1]

Anyone up for a game tonight?

Sure.

Today is probably the last day I can play until the end of the week, be up north where my desktop will not be.

[Dowly]

The 'usual' time it is then. We'll see what we play, I seem to have same problem as Arc that some missions won't work for some reason on my dedi. :doh:

[Arclight]

Sure.

Today is probably the last day I can play until the end of the week, be up north where my desktop will not be.
That's like... a hotdog without the hotdog! Madness, I tell you! Madness!

[Oberon]

Sure.

Today is probably the last day I can play until the end of the week, be up north where my desktop will not be.

Lebanon? :doh:

[Arclight]

He's going up North! (http://www.dramabutton.com/)

Without his desktop! (http://www.nooooooooooooooo.com/)
Lebanon? :doh: (http://instantrimshot.com/)



Seriously, teh web has a button for everything. :doh:

[Oberon]

Shame you left Dowly, I was just coming to your rescue. Couldn't make it sooner because the Stryker I was in was completely bent. Took a couple of heavy hits back when Arc was gunning and spent about half an hour getting it back to be repaired, but when it was repaired. Well, I slaughtered the guys around the factory ;) By god though, there was a lot of them :doh:

[Dowly]

I got hit and was wounded by the time I called it. I had no troubles keeping the guys outside at bay, but few of them got to the roof and shot me in the back. :nope:

Was hairy
http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee274/Finnish_Ferret/bunchofbaddies.jpg

[Oberon]

Yeah, I spent a good fifteen minutes with the COAX just gunning down soldier after soldier.

Interesting thing though is that all of them appeared to be in US uniform...and it was only when you got to the north side of the town that you ran into Russkies in proper Russkie uniform (quite literally run into in my case whilst I was driving my Stryker). So I don't know what that's all about, some kind of special forces do perhaps.

[Dowly]

Yeh, they had wierd uniforms, don't recall seeing them before. :hmmm:
http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee274/Finnish_Ferret/wierduniform.jpg

[Task Force]

hhmmm, with the suddent disbandment of the lolwaffe squadron, my afternoons are suddently filled with... err... nothing!

so, how often do youall play?

[Arclight]

Not often enough to ruin it again. :O:

[Dowly]

Not often enough to ruin it again. :O:

We've now played, what, 3 days in a row? :haha:

EDIT: Tho, unless we go back to domi I think we're all good playing more often as long as we can find different missions to play.

[Arclight]

Und zhere 'z the kicker; we need missions.

* get cracking, or no more beer. :O:

[Oberon]

hhmmm, with the suddent disbandment of the lolwaffe squadron, my afternoons are suddently filled with... err... nothing

I know the feeling! :doh:

[Schroeder]

hhmmm, with the suddent disbandment of the lolwaffe squadron, my afternoons are suddently filled with... err... nothing!

Did I miss something? Why have we disbanded just because Hunter quit?:doh:

[Raptor1]

Did I miss something? Why have we disbanded just because Hunter quit?:doh:

I hate to say it, but I agree with you for once.

[Oberon]

I wouldn't say we're disbanded, but we're certainly in rather a low swing of things. :hmmm:

[Schroeder]

August Break?
I thought we had chosen to restart in September?;)

[Oberon]

Well yeah. Ah, I guess we'll sort something out :yep:

[Fincuan]

Anyone up for a few coops later tonight?

If hosting is needed I have a laptop with WinXP ready to go, and on it there should still be some missions we haven't tried.

[Lionclaw]

Yeah, I might. Depends on what time though. :)

[Fincuan]

We usually start around the normal lolwaffle flight time, ie. 20.00 GMT. I might fire up the server with Domi or something a bit earlier if there's enough interst, but once enough players are online we'll definitely go "normal" coop.

[Lionclaw]

Okay, I'll pop in later this evening. Näkemiin :)

[Dowly]

Sounds good to me. :hmmm:

I almost had the OFP style mission ready, but then I figured, what the hell, I'll do it for the Everon island for old time's sake, so now I'm back in square one. :O:

[Arclight]

Not gonna make the planned Christmas release then? :O:


Up for coop as well, given I don't pass out after dinner again. :hmmm:

[Raptor1]

Up for coop as well, given I don't pass out after dinner again. :hmmm:

That's easy, just add chloroform.

[Dowly]

Not gonna make the planned Christmas release then? :O:

Aiming for Easter release with this one. Maybe I add some Easter Egg hunt too. :O:

[Oberon]

I'm mulling over a little mission or two for...Schmalfelden (which I've probably horribly mangled) involving defending a town against a Soviet advance. It'd go something like, advance defenders retreat from forward battle into town, some stay, others keep going back. Then the first wave arrives, once they're repelled the arty comes down and then the main wave makes a bash with smoke coverage.
I can see how it should go in my mind, but of course, persuading the mission editor is another matter entirely. :hmmm:

[Raptor1]

I've already started working on a mission covering a huge Soviet invasion of NATO-occupied Everon on the first day of WWIII, though it'll probably take quite a while to finish and get working properly.

[Dowly]

...persuading the mission editor is another matter entirely. :hmmm:

Not to mention the extra steps you must do to get some things to work in MP, so don't just play your mission in the editor and go "Nice, it works just like I expected", because once in MP, it prolly wont. :shifty:

[Oberon]

Yah, memories of the 'gay bar' dance there. :03:
Still, got to get it right in SP first.

[Arclight]

I was at it too, but the game is just not cooperating. When I hover the cursor over a button in the menu, it freezes for a second, and when I click the button it hangs again while the sound-effect loops every 0.1 second. Sometimes the game locks up in menu or loadscreen.

Can't work with constant threat of lost progress from a freeze; I just don't save 30 seconds. :shifty:

[Fincuan]

My lcd-panel just gave up and ceased working, hence the abrupt quit. Sorry about that. At least I finally have a really good reason to get a new one :)

[Dowly]

Ah ok. Something's not liking arma on your PC, lag rocketed to a point where I saw people running cartoon style where they stood.

[Fincuan]

Lag problem should be solved now, new screen is still waiting to be bought. In the laptop that served us the wireless card is installed next to the CPU and starts suffering from overheating after only a short while. For this reason I had plugged in a normal RJ45-cable, but forgotten to actually enable the ethernet card :doh:

[Arclight]

:haha: Aren't PCs wondefull? :DL

[HunterICX]

I never trust Wi-Fi :O:

Cables all the way

HunterICX

Don't use cables as potential trip wires! :D :O:

[Dowly]

Don't use cables as potential trip wires! :D :O:

Which I do. :O:

As so

[Arclight]

That's nothing. :smug:

http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj2/EZatHome/tripwire.jpg

[Lionclaw]

What does it say on the room to the right?

Looks like it says poo.


You're not supposed to store the poo in a room, you're supposed to flush that down the toilet. :D

Unless you live in the country and use it as a fertilizer.

[Dowly]

It's pooroom, as in toilet. Just was lazy to write it in. :O:

[HunterICX]

HunterICX

[Oberon]

I prefer to use punji sticks :yep:

[Raptor1]

I used to have a 10-meter long tripwire being dangerous to any and all intruders, but now I cannot utilize such an implement anymore since the router is right next to my compooter.

Whats the giant peice of burnt toast doing in the middle of yer room?

[Raptor1]

Whats the giant peice of burnt toast doing in the middle of yer room?

That's his top hat.

[Oberon]

Anything planned for tonight? Don't want you guys to go without your best driver now :yep::smug:

Geez, aren't you a bit late on this. :doh:

[Oberon]

Geez, aren't you a bit late on this. :doh:

Que? :hmmm:

[Dowly]

Que? :hmmm:

It's a good idea to ask a bit earlier, so to give people heads up and all that crap. :O:

[Oberon]

Bah, but that means they'll be prepared! :nope: :haha:

[Arclight]

Hmm, maybe in 15 mins, just started downloading Harpoon 3 ANW. :D

[Raptor1]

Hmm, maybe in 15 mins, just started downloading Harpoon 3 ANW. :D

Vampire! Vampire! Vampire!

*boom* *boom* *boom*

"You have failed to meet the victory conditions"

[Arclight]

Guess I should warn the enemy that "sink 'm all!" only applies to the good guys. :hmmm:

I could do without being peppered with Kitchens. :lol:

[Oberon]

Argh...the Kitchens...the Shipwrecks... :doh:

[Arclight]

Argh, don't get me started on sub-launched. Think you're in the clear and suddenly a contact pops up out of frickin nowhere. :doh:


Right, hosting "that" mission. See if the masterplan works this time.

Plan B: send in the ferret. Alone.

[Raptor1]

At least all the Red missiles have much cooler names than what you have (Unless you are playing the bad guys).

[Oberon]

Raptor, Dowly, come on, we need human shields to use against the building humping T-72! :ping:

[Raptor1]

Raptor, Dowly, come on, we need human shields to use against the building humping T-72! :ping:

I would, if I could run ArmA here.

[Dowly]

I'm starting to hold a slight grudge against that mission. :stare:

[Oberon]

I would, if I could run ArmA here.

Damn Lebanese communications failures!! :damn:

http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/230/sighw.jpg

T-72 AI...not as high as one would hope... :hmmm:

[Dowly]

It wasn't stuck in anything on my end, it just kept looping it's course. It got to a certain point then teleported to an earlier point, rinse and repeat.

Must say the mines are horrid, one would think two would take out an T72 for crying out loud. :doh:

[Arclight]

Or at least blow a thread. :doh:

[HunterICX]

That's the power of the people's party :DL

HunterICX

[Arclight]

TO cheat? :roll:


Seriously; one nerfed mission, coming up. :D

[HunterICX]

TO cheat? :roll:

No, as Raptor1 has to tutor you still about the abilities of the People's Party it's a very basic fact

when build by the people it's superior by default to any western equipment.

that thread is probally build with the sacrifice of aprox 405,851 voluntary workers of the people's party under comfortable circumstances

http://img697.imageshack.us/img697/5027/sov003therepublicofsoci.jpg

HunterICX

[Arclight]

Sacrifice under confortable conditions. :har:


You're still living in 1980, aren't ya? :O:

[Arclight]

Right, put in some drugs. The pathfinding seems to be a bug in the map; as far as the AI is concerned that road leading off the main road doesn't exist so they try a direct path... straight into the closest bus stop or tree.

[Oberon]

Well, if we use our new ambush point then that isn't a problem.
Getting the dead guys off the truck could be though, because we'll need one more rocket than we usually have because there's a BMP over the other side of the river.
It seems that there's a fifty-fifty chance that a BMP will come with the convoy so, mines for the T-72, rockets for the Shilka and either the BMP or truck (although rocketing the truck might then kill the troops and get them stuck inside, thus depriving us of the rockets we'll need to take out the other BMP on the other side of the river).

[Oberon]

http://virtuallypriceless.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/200805280724.jpg

So...? :hmmm:

[Dowly]

Sure. :O:

[Arclight]

Another bash. :yep:

[Oberon]

Awesomeness, same time? :yeah:

[Dowly]

Rgr that.

[Arclight]

Needs more captured Ka-50.

[Dowly]

:hmmm:
http://facepwn.com/posters/NukeOrbit.jpg

[Arclight]

That. :yep:

Shoot a nuke down a commie hole, you got a lot of dead commies.

[Oberon]

Needs more:

http://pieceofsite.seniorbrown.com/files/forums/NS/ion_cannon.jpg

[Raptor1]

I have returned, and rumours of my death are greatly overrated...at least until I meet another bloody T-72...

[Oberon]

Shall we introduce him to the mineproof T-72 tonight? :hmmm:

[Dowly]

Arc's not gonna come I think, so I'll host 1 or 2 games of it. Getting pretty tired off it, tbh.

[Oberon]

Well, probably best we give it a break until next week then. Otherwise we'll just grow sick of playing ARMA and kill it. :yep:

[Dowly]

Was thinking more like having a go at it once a session before starting some other mission. It's not gonna get any more interesting with time. :DL

[Raptor1]

So, anything happening now?

[Dowly]

Gonna hop into TS in 5min or so.

[Oberon]

Subsim Clowns: Victory through Fratricide

http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/5823/clownboat.jpg

[Raptor1]

Subsim Clowns: Victory through Fratricide


Victory through Acceptable Casualties!

[Dowly]

So... everyone agrees the mission was successful? (so we can never ever play it again. :O:)

[Raptor1]

Yes, may we never run this mission again.

[Dowly]

Yes, may we never run this mission again.

I think I hear Oberon weeping. :DL

[Biggles]

That bad huh?:D

(sorry for popping in unexpectedly, I guess it's my spy genes taking hold of me...)

[Dowly]

I think Oberon liked the challenge the mission offered. :O: I'm all ok if we never play it again. :D

[Oberon]

:haha: I must admit, even I was starting to get a little sick of it, still it was an unconventional solution and it worked...even if we were all killed at the end.

Like Raptor said, acceptable casualties :yep::haha:

[Dowly]

Hehe, well, I've got one mission I ACEfied a tad we can try next. Seems like quite a large one. :hmmm:

[Dowly]

Whoever is going to play tonight, hop on to Arc's TS in 30min. Guess I take the reigns as I'm the only one with the ACEfied mission so I'll wait 15min past the usual time. Mission should be join in progress.

[Dowly]

*Sad kitty face*

[Arclight]

Such enthusiasm. :haha:

[Dowly]

Was all drunk and so. :cry: NEver play with ouy guys anymore. :shifty:

[Fincuan]

Sounds like you guys had a good time :har:

I got the new screen today, and boy does 2''(17->19) make a difference even though the resolution remained the same. I'll probably try some Arma around the usual time or a bit later, so feel free to join.
