[QUOTE=Holt!;49837845]Swap Reshmaan Province and Aliabad for Panthera and CLAfghan[/QUOTE]

Aliabad actually isn't that bad, I'd say if we get Reshmaan province out of the pack we could probably keep Aliabad and get Panthera at the very least. CLAfghan would have to be fixed first.

I wonder how well this is going to integrate with FP_grenades

Some of you will probably try dropping a No. 73 off a building and have it collapse under you

Early tests have proven the system to be perfectly safe except for the pod, which becomes unusable but whatever. Its expected to come into service in my next mission... wait what?

I don't get this, Aliabad is small and mostly sand. It's so boring to me, Reshmaan has potential for tank ops or roaming in the mountains/reallymorelikehills.

More like MountainHills.

But we got Aliabad because it was very light on memory space, and has plenty of cover/concealment.

[Destroyox]

I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough, and it gets everywhere.

[QUOTE=Holt!;49843178]Do we know when its being released?[/QUOTE]

It's in release candidate right now, so probably very soon

[Thomo_UK]

So can I hit up buildings with my name or is it just restricted to simple Xs

[diwako]

Currently writing a cheat sheet for advanced medical. You will read these words a lot:
"You will kill them", "Yell at them", "You are a murderer now"

[QUOTE=Thomo_UK;49843244]So can I hit up buildings with my name or is it just restricted to simple Xs[/QUOTE]

IIRC, Restricted to X for now.
Or atleast I haven't seen anything else when using those sick spray cans.

[Thomo_UK]

Finally

[QUOTE=Dev]Fixed: The “Ban” button would not work for logged in admins on their servers[/QUOTE]

[neuromancer]

Some people expressed interest in playing smaller ops on off days so I made 2 MP missions made for 10-30 people + optional zeus.

First ones a kinda-scale mock up of the CIA's actual scale mock up of Osama Bin Laden's home in Abbottabad, Pakistan used by DEVGRU to train for Operation Neptune Spear. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/s5DQbbT.jpg[/IMG]
You can use ACE Self Interact while the helicopters are hovered to Fast Rope in this op (like the real DEVGRU team was supposed to before a freak weather accident caused their modified stealth Black Hawks to crash) thanks to SHK_Faskrope script. ACE Zip ties and M84 stun grenades are added for detaining Osama and his unarmed family memers.

The second ones an assault on Saldhig Hooyo Oilrig off the coast of Africa using minisubs, speedboats and/or helis to find and defuse 10 bombs within 45 minutes. You can Fast Rope in this op also in the same way as in the other op, using ACE Self Interact
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/OCKML7x.jpg[/IMG]
Theres also 2 TvT versions of this op that I made, one with respawns and one with out respawns. I will get them added and hopefully people can enjoy them later.

ALSO do the M84 stun grenades actually do anything to AI?

[Holt]

Holy shit.
Those look great.

[CaelReader]

Those are quite nice, though I worry about arma collisions getting fucky on that oil rig.

[neuromancer]

[QUOTE=IrishBandit;49843952]Those are quite nice, though I worry about arma collisions getting fucky on that oil rig.[/QUOTE]

I tested that as much as I could on my own, ran around the whole place multiple times and ran into walls and fucked around with ladders and I didn't get weird ARMA collision/floating/"stuck in falling animation" issues and never sank underneath objects. I also never OBSERVED the AI running off the oilrig or moving through walls, so I'm gonna cross my fingers and hope all my testing holds up.

[MrDemonic]

I like the look of those! Would love to give it a play, the oil rig mission looks like it would be a nice change of pace from what our usual missions consist of.

[Comfy]

Alright, so a new Comfy Downtime Version has been pushed to the server, that hopefully fixes all those EDEN Issues.
It was quite annoying to find the right place for the configs and remove Custom Attributes from the mission.sqm, since certain stuff gets overridden in the mission.sqm and some stuff doesen't get saved properly due to bugs in EDEN, but I think everything is getting applied correctly now.

I also added it to all the new maps we now have in the modpack, and besides that, there's also a few new things.

1. you now have a Viewdistance script (AddAction), which you can use to adjust your viewdistance in various vehicles.ö You can also change your object viewdistance and even turn grass off if it gets annoying.
2. I included the script version of the Advanced Slingloading mod, which is quite awesome. It basically lets you slingload any kind of vehicle with any kind of chopper (As long as the vehicle/object is light enough to be lifted).

(Also Advanced medical versions for all maps)
