ARMA Series (I, II, III) - v. Waiting For 3DEN Edition
5,000 replies, posted
Forgot to mention this, but I moved the zeus back to BLufor (Was a Civ previously)
This has the benefit that he can use radios if you play on blufor, and he can also play with others if he wants to, which wasn't possible when he was Civ.
Of course my internet crashes for my first comfy in forever
I had a good first time. I stumbled around an active combat zone lost and confused wielding an LMG I found on the ground because it didn't occur to me I need to grab myself a weapon first. I climbed in a truck, then I climbed in a helicopter, then we won.
Then we turned in to Takistani Spec-Ops climbed in a helicopter, tried to sling-load Whitefox, and failed at that. Then we landed near a bridge we needed to destroy, ran towards the nearby town, a .50 Cal made us hide behind a rock, then his friend hit us with a grenade and we all died.
We then tried to approach with T-72s, Micsi was naked, someone ran over Micsi, then the other T-72 bullied the BMP or whatever, the BMP flew through the air, and Mallow lost hope in us.
I did have fun for what I got to do, as confusing and short-lived as it was.

But yeah, It would be great if people would actually take the mission that zeus prepares serious.
Fooling around in Spawn, while waiting for Zeus to finish setting things up is fine and all, as long as you don't kill people.
I know that most people here behave properly, but I'm just putting this out there as a general thing.
Wow, I sound a lot less awful than I expected over voice.

ACE 3.5 just released
I wonder what the trench digging will be like
So apparently spawning AI on the server is a no go?
I mean to be quite honest I am unsure of how else to do it unless I sacrifice my own playtime for my mission by being a Zeus or something.

Same as ACE2, it drops a small dirt hump under you I assume.

How do you even fast rope, i've tried from the pilot's seat and cargo.

You don't. Just log in with Steam and fill in a slot you'd like.

You're talking about the new fast rope feature in ACE or are you talking about my op that adds fastroping through script? Has the repository even been updated to include the ACe update yet?
ACE
also don't know if people had seen it yet but great operating here
if you're like playing SL you can learn a bit from watching the SL in this.

Sync an "Equip FRIES" module to a fastrope capable chopper, like the Ghost Hawk, and then you can use the Interact menu to deploy the ropes from a passenger seat. I was hoping you could rope from the MH-6 but it doesn't look like you can with the vanilla one.
[QUOTE=neuromancer;49843903]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

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?[/QUOTE]
That oil rig base looks pretty rad.
I made one too, which I might upload to the workshop one day when I've polished it a bit more.

I don't actually have any other current pics either besides the motor pool. I should work on that too lol.
Any idea how to make setidentity/setface work in MP? my somali pirates are white.

Gonna be in California for a rocket launch sunday so I dropped my spot

[QUOTE=Mallow234;49839311]As a headsup, [B][U]this mission has been moved to the 13th of March as something came up and I won't be able to get this done in time.[/U][/B]
Cuel might complete it, or somebody else might make something, I'm not sure[/QUOTE]

Don't mind the description, etc when loading.
You need CUP (some of the objects), RHS, ACE, and MCC (I think, not 100%)
But yeah play around and tell me what you think, I'm looking to improve it.

You can also double click the helicopter in Eden and select the checkbox at the bottom. The Ghosthawk and the Wildcat need a FRIES, you can fastrope with all other helicopters except the Little Bird by default.
The vanilla Little Birds lack the necessary FRIES as seen here:

I was too lazy to make one since I prefer the MELB Little Birds which already have a FRIES.
How do you enable fast roping? I was never able to figure out how.

[QUOTE=Binladen34;49848470]How do you enable fast roping? I was never able to figure out how.[/QUOTE]
It's enabled by default. Make sure you are using ACE 3.5.0 and your helicopter has a FRIES if necessary.
I really did have a lot of fun earlier during the CD despite not actually knowing what the hell I was doing. When I first joined I spawned without a weapon but in my head I figured, "Alright, this is just like while I'm here at this base, I'll get teleported out and I'll be given a loadout I should have for the mission." Instead, I landed at the bottom of a hill near an MRAP with gunfire surrounding me and now weapon. As confused as I was, it was honestly really funny. I crawled around some, found a PKM, then watched The Rifleman start to run off then lose connection. Then when everyone regrouped, people pointing out the PKM I found was not standard issue and just kinda rolling with it. And just in general it was good fun even if it went weird.
I was really worried that ACRE wasn't going to work, and at first I thought it wasn't until I realized
Hopefully there will be another CD tomorrow. I have pretty much the whole day so I can be there right at the start.
