Dingo

So A3MP addon / port got 2 nice updates today, http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=23863
 
as a bonus nearly all the old A2 & user created A2 maps now work correctly too and look really nice.
 
Namalsk - starting to plan out a mission for this map, will be cold up on the snowcapped hills so bring the thermal longjohns and a pair of skis, (ignore my somewhat dodgy flying too)

Bloody intense and came out of nowhere, I was bringing up the rear, when all hell opened up fire on us, all I saw was a cloud of dust and Raz screaming hit the deck, I broke right to the top of the bank to see if I could find cover and get eyes on, there was a house just up ahead took cover there, fired a few covering / distraction shots at Ai that were approaching the left side of the river bed, then got up to the bridge to see the apc sitting in the middle of the road, someone lobbed a red smoke and with blast core on I couldn't get a lock or see where to fire to get a hit, waited for a few to clear then blasted the fecker next a few heads popped out from the other side of the wall hairy moments, to say the least, we regrouped far side of the bridge where there were 2 sneaky snipers, that we got the jump on and dispatched quickly and easily, excellent fun altogether
 
forgot to record it and by the time I remembered to hit save on shadow play it only got from after we dispatced the snipers

didn't get the others 

Josh, Can't say i've heard of shinty 
 
Nice one Z was on my mobile couldn't link a vid although you could have found an older clip before they woossied it up and made helmets compulsory
 
thing is though i can't stand either Hurling or GAA but they are still excellent.
it's used to be rammed down your throat in school along with learning Irish, so much so that at age 6 1/2 or 7 we were told your Irish you have to play hurling or gaa, i didn't like soccer so gaa was off, but carrying a stick and hitting thing with said stick slightly appealed so we were brought out to the sports field, the teacher told half the class to go to half way mark, then he started pelting sliotars (that's the ball pronounced sch-lit-or or in Dublin slit-her) thats all i remember, next thing i remember of that day (4 days later) was waking up looking at a ceiling, my paernts leaning in saying "now dont worry you're only in hospital, now you you won't be able to move you hand you have 2 broken fingers, and you won't be able to talk for a while you have a broken jaw, 10 weeks off school so it wasn't all bad though  

this is what dingo was on about of course in dublin they have big balls in whereas in cork we have big sticks!!

Press h to bring up the key binds overlay,
from memory I think the following
QZWasd control height and orbit radius, numpad controls camera, x or c exits I think would have to check, enter on np is laser pointer, 0 is target lock or camera reset, tab is laser desk, again not sure but check the overlay or the key binds in the userconfig .hpp file

Ding ding!
 
I have in my possession a script to null damage down to any value we want. Let me explain why I'm doing this in  the first place:
 
At current, you can take a headshot, die in a minefield, fall off a cliff, die in a vehicle crash etc and as long as there is somebody nearby who is a medic, he can fix all that with a click of a button. Not even consistently i might add. the script is buggy and plain annoying to deal with. Additionally this revive script is suspected of causing massive fps drop next to burning vehicles (around 0.3 fps i'd guess). It used to save your gear and present you with it after revival but not any more. you may have picked that awesome machine gun and kitted it out but it's going to give you an mx with aimdot... It's outdated and buggy.
 
So there's my argument for getting rid of this unrealistic, buggy, ugly feature. Here's a slightly less unrealistic 24 line total script that instead nulls your damage down, a little. This is to make it more playable for yourselves so you can get to a medic and be back up to full strength, but if you die... you'll have to respawn at base. Perhaps you'll be a little more careful when running near cliffs and picking who you fly with eh?
 
trialling it at half damage worked pretty well but we can adjust.
 
I imagine initially there will be a lot of resistance to this but think about it.

Although seeing a lab geek produce an assault rifle out from under his/her white labcoat would be quite funny to see animated

I'll gladly....
Follow the leader......
See what I did there :-D

Found this excellent UAV mod
 
it comes in a backpack that you assembel al-la the darter, it's rechargeable after use it has 2x cameras, laser deg & pointer 
 
you control by setting a waypoint on the map, it'll fly to the way point at which point you can switch to the camera and take control, by increasing / decreasing the flight radius and altitude around the target area, then adjust the camera position to locate hard targets for designation for CAS, or use the on board laser pointer to show show ground troops where the last pesky enemy is dug in

Yay, fixed it cheers Josh
 
Raz can you put into rotation when you get a chance, 
.pbo v0.3 in file browser in of TS
 
Cheers 

Hi all  
I'm trying to sort out an odd bug for a map I put together using Raz's pvp Mission
 
I have the map layout set in editor and it loads correctly once in the game
but the in game map & GPS shows object like minefields & spawns in the wrong place 
would anyone know how to fix it,
it's doing my head in and looks really messy in game. 
 
i've tried deleting all the points that show up wrong on map and put down new ones but this just spams
more down in wrong locations on the in game map.
 
the .pbo is in the TS PVP channel if anyone wants to take a look
 
been looking on BI forums & armaholic for similar problems but finding nothing
 
cheers 

or do this 
 
http://www.ahoyworld.co.uk/topic/2554-squad-leader-command-spam/
 
or if you're Squad lead issue the halt command to all players under your command
 
press `key (left of number 1 on top row) and select Halt it'll stop the regroup order spamming 

Hey
 
Saw this on Armaholic just had to try it out
it's very early stage alpha build but is loads of fun for bilping around in a Loach / Littlebird through the city streets
can't wait to see where it goes development wise
 
most of the buildings can be entered and have up to 30 floors 
Some roof tops can be landed on some can't and some have invisible top floors 
 
might make for a good cbq building to building pvp map in the future

Ever wanted something other Green, digcam or black textures for the MH9 in your missions
 
well there are 13 other texture designs available inside the game files
 
all you need to do is 
go to this file location (or wherever your steam & game files are installled) open the .pbo file below
(using PBO Manager - http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=16369&a=dl)
 
c:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 3\Addons\air_f.pbo
 
expand the pbo to the following file branch, and extract it out to a new file anywhere on your pc.
Heli_Light_01\Data\Skins
 
cut out the folder Skins and and keep it separate 
now go into editor in game create a mission, just drop down an MH9, save the mission
 
now take the Skins folder and place in you mission file here
C:\Users\(your user name)\Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles\(your profile name)\missions\(your saved mission)
 
reload your mission in editor
select you MH9 and copy the following to the init field
 
this setobjecttexture [0,"skins\heli_light_01_ext_wasp_co.paa]; ^^CHANGE RED name above to any of following to change texture^^   blueline varna digital elliptical furious graywatcher jeans shadow sheriff speedy sunset wasp wave   Magnum P.I skin found here http://cthulhu.dark.ro/arma/heli_light_01_ext_magnum_co.paa   also add these to the init to add doors and remove the benches and not allow anyone to sit on the bench spot this animate ["addDoors",1]; this animate ["addBackseats",1];  this animate ["addTread",0];  this animate ["addBenches",0];  this animate ["addCivilian_hide",1]; {this lockCargo [_x,true]} forEach[2,3,4,5];   or download & extract these  https://www.dropbox.com/s/ibuxeb397uv1eur/MD500.rar
change init line to 
this setobjecttexture [0,"md500\wasp.paa];
or any of the names in the file for the other textures
 
the same can be done for the Mowhawk, there are 4 skins in the Heli_medium part of the air_f.pbo file
 
also for the Buzzard if you have Arma 2 find the air.pbo for the L39, L149 etc and extract the texture file with
??_ext_??_co.paa in the file name to you arma 3 mission folder
 
enjoy

that's been in Arma since year dot from what I remember form years past, just though I'd point out the hazzard of the base AA if your returning 
 
also looks like Pilot spawn VAS truck doesn't work anymore too.

Ok internet's broken, image search for said Helo's returns cartoon trains and Marines in Vietnam, and yes safe search was off,

Maybe lock out all the large trani helo's to pilot only and leave the HB open to all, that way repair specs / medics could use it to out to get service to downed helo's / recover fallen heros, also so it can be used as a training platform to sus out potential competent flight jockeys and flush out potential trolls and obviously it main purpose as Mi-48 bait.
