Zhanks, guys

- hope I'll finally meet some of you on the battlefield!

@Hottentot: this is only the beginning of my noobish questions - wait till I join the game: "What does the left mouse button do?", "Why can't we all live in harmony?", etc

Herr-Berbunch · 05-22-13, 12:37 PM

I had almost the same error the other night when I tried to join, it was getting late so I just went to bed.

Hottentot · 05-23-13, 12:24 AM

Well, since someone forgot to take a vehicle with passenger seat, some of us have to trek through the countryside to reach the target.

Approaching the target. At least for the third time. The last two ended very miserably as I found out that the ghillie suit and tall grass don't seem to prevent the AI from finding me with their X-ray sights.

Raptor demonstrates creative uses of tow car.

Since that doesn't work, it's time for some Grand Theft Chopper

And off he flies into the proverbial sunset. Time to head for the next objective.

Aerial troll to the rescue!

Scouting for baddies.

800 meters, soon-to-be-zeroed sights, sniper rifle and a great view. After spending the last hour on that cursed hill where either the grass or the elevation was forcing me to do close combat with a sniper rifle, this felt like a dream.

And then I woke up, realized I had to go and went haywire with the rifle. Dropped a bunch of infantry and a tank crewman, got unceremoniously killed and left. No idea what happened after that.

Sneaking up on someone with a T-90 is not as hard as it would first appear. This Shilka was oblivious until I mowed down some nearby infantry.

When I forgot to switch back to the Co-ax from the main gun this infantryman received a SABOT to the head. He flew well.

Convoy!

EDIT: Just tidied up the base a little. I don't know how the F35 got broken and how the MRLS landed up over at the side objective and out of fuel, but they're both fixed and returned to base now.

Hottentot · 05-23-13, 10:15 AM

By the way, there was something weird going on with the TeamSpeak last night, which apparently had something to do with my TS settings being borked. Apparently Tak and Schroeder had some horrible echoing because of that.

I didn't have time to adjust it then, but could do it now to at least listen to the rest of you next time. Are there any specific settings that should be played with to have it work properly? I went and smashed buttons randomly (that usually works), but any expert help would be appreciated.

The F-35 crashed when Arclight's router decided to randomly reset itself just as I was landing, and I believe the MLRS ended up there because Task Force decided he wants to use it as an assault gun.

Is it their voice that echoes when you activate your microphone? If so, you could try right clicking on Windows' volume thingy, going to Recording Devices, checking if 'Stereo Mix' is enabled and disabling it if it is.

EDIT: Ah, be 'at least listen' I guess you mean it was their voices that were echoing to you...

Schroeder · 05-23-13, 11:12 AM

Well, we could hear ourselves echoing from his teamspeak.

Ah, if that's the case then he should try what I said.

Hottentot · 05-23-13, 11:28 AM

Weird stuff. You'd think I was harmless when I didn't even have my microphone in the port.

Anyway, thanks Raptor: the stereo mix was indeed on, so let's see if it works better now that I disabled it. Looking forward to fooling around soon.

If the microphone wasn't connected then TeamSpeak probably automatically picked the Stereo Mix as the default input device, and if it was set to Voice Activation rather than Push to Talk as well then it would automatically start transmitting everything you were hearing back into TeamSpeak.

It was fun playing with you guys - although I was a little overwhelmed to coordinate all the new stuff. Guess I helped you guys a little to practice reviving a stupid Kraut.

I finally managed tinkering with my hardware and got my mic running and the firewall configured.

And Schroeder, you are insane for letting a T5er man the gun of your vehicle!

Sadly nobody's on the server tonight

- might have something to do with Friday night.

I guess they already had some practise in that....

We're Germans, that makes us insane by default.

Hottentot · 05-25-13, 01:13 AM

Dammit, missed you guys again despite of waiting on TeamSpeak and server for a good while last night.

Edit: oops, apparently Penguin wasn't talking about last night. Bah, shouldn't start commenting right after spending two hours in a real forest for a change.
