    Sorry for bailing out last night on the Klurs Map

    in ARMA I

    Posted

    Hey T it's always great to have you in game and that you can manage any ArmA time at all is amazing.

     

    Hope the 'new kid' is feeling better and we look forward to seeing you whenever it works out.

     

    ".... baked potato with Chilli...." :poster_oops: ...lol

     

    See ya next time,

    Just curious, I've updated to 1.16b, but when I start the game, it keeps saying 1.14. Is this typical?

     

     

    Durka you need to run the executable that is in the 'beta' folder as opposed to the one in the ArmA root.

     

    My shortcut target path:

    "C:\Program Files\Atari\ArmA\beta\arma.exe" -nosplash -mod=beta;@ACE;@SIX_BC;@Mapfact_EU;@mapfact;DBE1;@opx;@aceip;@Sak

     

    Good luck and let me know if you need anything.

     

     

     

    ps Oops, Morgan posted while I was typing but it is the beta path that's the issue.

    Root executable = 1.14

    Beta executable = 1.16

    But I also have a few other Afghan/desert ones that I've been looking at so see if there are any here you might want us to try.

    Some of those look amazing Zebb. We're right at the threshold of doing a new 'All-in-One' (and/or an incremental) so if there's some things we'd like to add there's no time like the present.

     

    Good stuff.

    AHH! So there's a whole new map out now!?!? 101st 2nd Brigade! Those screenies are awesome.

     

    Durka just grab me anytime and I'll be glad to help get you sorted.

     

    The link Zebb provided (All-in-One) is the place to start. There have been a couple minor additions since then but you'll be good to go in no time. Any questions just ask.

     

    Hope to see you soon.

    ArmA II w/TrackIR 5

    Posted

    Dslyecxi is involved with ArmA II beta testing (also an A.C.E. tester) and managed to capture some footage while talking up (and demonstrating) the benefit of using a TrackIR in ArmA.

    I miss my butt being shaved :(

     

    All joking aside i've found it more to do with the players than the game.

     

     

    Amen Brother....

     

    Speaking of players (who specifically are MIA and currently derelict in their ArmA type duties :) )

     

    I hope you're well and shag yourself back here whenever things settle down a bit.

     

     

    All the best

    ArmA Servers 3/4 Updated to 1.16 Beta

    in ARMA I

    Posted

    Hope it's as good as it sounds and thanks to all for being patient for a couple days while the initial feedback was monitored.

     

    As mentioned I would recommend making a copy of the existing 'beta' folder in the ArmA root prior to running the 1.16 patch. In the unlikely event we needed to revert the servers to 1.15 having a backup copy of this folder would make that process smooth and easy.

     

    See you there.

     

    Cheers,

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    ArmA Servers 3/4 Updated to 1.16 Beta

    in ARMA I

    Posted

    As of this morning both ArmA servers 3 and 4 have been updated to BIS version 1.16 Beta.

     

    This is now the baseline requirement for these servers (along with the A.C.E. mod set).

     

    Note: This patch over writes the 'beta' folder in your ArmA root directory. Ideally you should make a backup of the existing beta folder prior to updating.

     

    1.16 Beta Patch

     

    If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

     

    Enjoy,

    Glad you enjoyed it Custard. I hope everyone else did as well.

     

    I'm also glad you pointed out that the rules are there to enhance the immersion and run effiiciently and for no other reason. If comms start buzzing with chit chat then people are processing that instead of paying attention...will never work.

     

    That particular night was more of an orientation for players not familiar with A.C.E. and/or new to ArmA. Next time will be different as will the time after that. Each run is unique and things may be happening for reasons that are not immediately obvious.....there is however a plan...lol

     

    Great night and hope there's many more to come.

     

    Cheers

    ArmA Beta patch 1.16 released

    in ARMA I

    Posted

    A.C.E. team is actively testing compatibility so I'd suggest giving them a few days.

     

    From what I've read so far the OPFOR AI are significantly tougher but as of now it's unconfirmed reports....I hope it's true.

    .

    .

    Another reason not to rush into this:

     

    From the 'Readme'....There is no way to uninstall the patch, in order to get back to previous version you need to uninstall ArmA

    ArmA Beta patch 1.16 released

    in ARMA I

    Posted

    Nice Dai,

     

    Lots of good fixes.

     

    We'll review it, give the early adopters some time to report back and then move to it.

     

    As long as it plays nice with A.C.E. I doubt there will be much delay.

     

    Cheers,

     

     

    ps...We will give everyone advance notice before any server changes are made so please hold at current ArmA release (1.15) for a bit longer.
