[QUOTE=VOSK;49798247]For the backstory of the campaign, Supreme Leader Trump should have made America great again by becoming a 1984-style state[/QUOTE]

Also Jeb Bush should be the leader of a growing resistance movement, which is why Trump invaded Europe, he needed to distract the American people from the growing civil unrest. He puts everything into this invasion, because if he fails he will certainly face a massive rebellion led by the guacamole-man himself.

I should start writing Clancy-Man novels. I know.

'Slow and steady wins the race!' he cried, as Trump aimed his pistol at his head.

I'm gonna attempt my first mission for the campaign. Since it's my first I'm going to make it later in the date in terms of campaign, so it'll be more independent eastern European nations fighting the american advance. I'll definitely need help with it but I shall attempt to make it as perfect as I can.

[diwako]

Looking at the current survey results I realize that I should have called this the "BDU uniform upgrade project".

Preparing new BDU template as I type this.

I mean I am slowly improving things everywhere and start adding detail in places I missed.
Left old, right new. (the change in pattern is because of updated partitioning of camo patches)

Not to be rude, but isn't this campaign supposed to be the best of what we have to offer? A lot of shit can go wrong in your first missions and I think for this campaign we don't want things like ACE issues or mission oversights to cause problems in the whole metagame thing.
I'll give you a good tip for mission making. Start small. Maybe run a couple of Comfy Downtimes or a smaller scale op on an off day.

comfy downtime != making missions. that's just playing with zeus

[editline]23rd February 2016[/editline]

i am also QA for any sunday op

[editline]23rd February 2016[/editline]

nothing's stopping anyone from making a small mission mid week or so

[Smoot]

Someone explain what comfy downtime is.

[Destroyox]

[QUOTE=Cuel;49800381]comfy downtime != making missions. that's just playing with zeus[/QUOTE]
Yeah I know, but it does let you get a grasp on how to use zeus in a mission as well as gauge how players react to that. It's good practice in a very relaxed atmosphere.

[Cuel]

easy to set up zeus mission on all maps during the weeks

Have you ever laid down in your bed face down in your pillow after a hard days work and you don't feel like moving? That is the bliss of comfy downtime.

[QUOTE=Cloak Raider;49797313]thank you guys for all the responses about the campaign

looking forward to making some amazing stuff[/QUOTE]
Do you guys have a standard set of scripts/framework or guidelines for mission-making?

[CSLeader]

So anyone else having problems with the FP Repo?

Also, will their be a new NATO template? The one I've used is from the alpha test days of ArmA 3.

Which AI mod is generally considered the best?
Theres like a million of them

bCombat is great, but sadly it's SP only.

[CaelReader]

Made a quick Spanish loadout:

I'd like to use the G36E but wikipedia says Spain uses EOTechs. Also the sights on the G36E blow.

[Araknid]

Any mods to improve tank AI?
I'm trying to fuck around in the editor and have the tank drive through a town while being supported by infantry but the dumb fuck only uses the machinegun and keeps doing 180 turns and smashing into walls and buildings

[editline]24th February 2016[/editline]

Not to mention charging straight into enemy forces

Tanks only use the machinegun against infantry, but still should use the cannon for armored vehicles.
IIRC, every Ammo type has a cost value defined that defines how much a single projectile cost.
Units and Vehicles also have a Cost value defined. So If the Cost of the ammo is lower than the cost of the vehicle it's targeting, it will fire that projectile.

This is to avoid AI Tanks to fire 20000$ projectile at naked unarmed enemy infantry.

Dunno about the turns tho.

[Cloak_Raider]

may need to call on some people to help me make a trailer

and by that I mean, go on the fp server and act out some scenes for me

if you're interested, chuck in a reply or a rating

also
are there any maps other than helvantis that the latest comfy downtime is on?

Could arrange a CD where you get everyone who wants to be part of the trailer and do it then.

[editline]24th February 2016[/editline]

Also I'm down, unless you want me to record.

Actually it's more a way that weapons work and the fact that the AI can't switch between ammo.
There is a mod that changes this, for more info just look in the mod itself.
It will switch between HE and AP and use them on the right targets.

[QUOTE=diwako;49792097]So after the shit storm about removing uniforms, people seemed to want quality over quantity. So a survey has been created to address the quality of the CURRENT uniforms.

You basically vote for uniforms you WANT to receive an update. This is for quality reasons and not "I do not like this camo pattern/I do no like this model" type of reasons!!

I'll keep reposting this until the dead line is over.
