    WHich one?!

    in General Game Talk

    Posted

    I just bought a Sig P226 and added the TruGlow TFO Tritum Fiber Optic Sights

     

    If its good enough for the US Navy SEALs, its good enough for me...enough said!

     

    40 cal.

     

    Beautiful gun, shoots fantastic and fits a smaller hand like a glove.

     

    If you want to feel like you're holding a 2 x 4 then buy a Glock.

     

    I almost got the Springfield XDM but it felt a little too "plastically" for me.

     

    the Sig is ALL BUSINESS.

     

    Good Luck

    Stang Waxed BAD by a virus

    in Spartans general chat

    Posted

    Sorry Guys

     

    I got waxed by a virus on Tuesday this week that basically destroyed Windows and took over my computer. If you have Norton 360 version 3 (2009) edition... YOU ARE SUBJECT TO THIS...

     

    Be forewarned as I got my system trashed over it. Just rebuilding now.

     

    If you have version 3, drop me a line and I'll help you out with the hoopla you have to go through to remove the threat BEFORE you can upgrade.

     

    If anyone sent me anything in the last couple of days, please resend as I'm just rebuilding now and it will take me a few days to get back up to speed. I have to reinstall everything from this...REALLY SUX BIGTIME!!

    New "Improved" Air Domination Server

    in ARMA 2

    Cornfused.

     

    1) Don't get the math... I see 4+4+4+4+4=20, not the 24 maxplayers.

     

    just working estimates, expect this to change per game play, load and balance

     

    2) Is the map TVT, or Coop? Cuz it's quite a bit differet coding wise between the two and what you expect it to do.

     

    Would like to do TvT with AI supporting the OpForces

     

    3) How much of this has been put into code? Or are we still in the planning stage?

     

    Flight models configs have been mod'd and the main map basics laid out, but no real code yet

    Six Days In Fallujah

    Six Days In Fallujah

     

    Have you Guys seen this work in progress?

     

    I got interested in this after Durka reccomended reading the book "House to House" by David Bellavia, a former Army Infantry Staff Sergeant who served in the First Infantry Division (Task Force 2-2) for over six years and was too involved in the war in Fallujah. This book (which I listened to via Audio books / iTunes), is just incredible and I would recommend it as well. .

     

    The game is intended to recreate the actual events of a Marine Squad durring the battle of Fallujah with Hyper Realistic visuals, stunning game play and a completely destroyable city model. This means you can enter the houses like Marines do... by creating their own entrance and avoiding the doors (very realistic).

     

    The videos are great and screen shots are impressive. IGN just reported the game is done...see below

     

    Six Days in Fallujah Lives

     

    [Mar 03, 2010, 09:36 am ET]

     

    Development of Six Days in Fallujah is complete, and the game is still on the way, reports IGN by way of a "source close to the game's development." The game does not have a publisher or a release date, but their source says: "I can promise you that game is still coming out and it is finished." This military-themed third-person shooter attracted controversy due to its planned depiction of the Iraq War, and was dropped by publisher Konami shortly after being announced. Developer Atomic Games suffered some job cuts this summer, but has been steadfast in pursuing the project, saying they want to honor the Fallujah combatants who fell in battle and others who have consulted on the game.

    Windows Vista 64 bit Guru help please

    in Spartans general chat

    Posted

    Hi Guys

     

    I have Windows Vista 64 bit and two very annoying problems.

     

    1. I am sick of everything I want to do (install something, copy-paste something, etc), I get a box that pops up and says Windows needs your permission to continue. I am the only user of this computer and do not need this...how can I turn it off totally?

    2. My system is set to update itself when critical updates are needed. About 2 months ago, I got the little box that said Updates are ready to install". I clicked OK and it downloaded about 100 Mbs of stuff, then installed it, then rebooted...and then when windows starts, I get a message saying Windows update failed....the error messages are below...

     

    Security Update for Windows Vista for x64-based Systems (KB975550)

     

    Installation status: Failed

     

    Error details: Code 800703F8

     

    Update type: Important

     

    A security issue has been identified that could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to compromise your system and gain control over it. You can help protect your system by installing this update from Microsoft. After you install this update, you may have to restart your system.

     

     

    AND

     

     

    Update for Windows Vista x64-based Systems (KB972145)

    Installation Status: Failed

     

    Update type: recommended

     

    Install this update to resolve a compliance issue with Windows Media Player (that I don;t use) and Set Program Access and Computer Defaults. After you install this item, you may have to restart your computer.

     

    I also get error codes: Code 8007371C when it tries to install (KB978207) & KB976662)

     

     

    If you guys could offer any help to fix these I would really appreciate it

     

    Thanks

    Arma 2 Single player - Total Frustration

    Hey Batwing

     

    LoL

     

    I was in the same boat as you with the Pbo thingy. Its not that bad really...all you need is an extractor, text editor and a packer. If you want help with this let me know...however, if your system blows up and burns down your house...don't hold me responsible as I'm still learning too.

     

    now learning script coding...OMG that's an A$$ Pain that Preparation H can't fix :D

     

     

    lol, I am crap at scripting and editing.. so i am doomed to the silly SP exp....

    New "Improved" Air Domination Server

    in ARMA 2

    Posted · Edited by Stang~SPARTA~

    Hey Guys

     

    Let me be clear here from Zeno's original marching orders on updating the Air Dom Server;...this is not a replacement for anything we have...(other than Air Dom)

     

    We are looking for an interesting, stable, fun and challenging Arma 2 environment to update the Air Dom server with. Because this is a stand alone server, we can incorporate community mods (if they're stable) and add to the over all game play. This update will NEVER turn Arma 2 into a flight simulator, it will simply make what we have today, better and more enjoyable.

     

    Here's where I am at

     

    The "High Level" mission is this:

     

    Satellites have detected hostile Russian forces entering Chernarus from the NW, taking the main airbase and pushing SE to the Port Cities to commandeer the Oil production facilities for mother Russia. 2 US F-35 were sent into for recon and both were immediately shot down down.

     

    Current Mission 3 main goals

     

    1. Locate and extract the downed Pilots and their Aircraft
    2. Stop the Russian assault
    3. Protect the Port Cities Oil Refineries.

     

    Assets

    • 1 Carrier operating approximately 35 miles off the S-SE Tip of Kamyshovo with limited Air Assets
    • SEAL Team 6 aboard.
    • Additional Aircraft & Ground assets available after securing the small airbase NE of Krasnostav

     

    Win Conditions

    • Recover both Pilots alive
    • Recover both F-35 wrecks
    • Stop Russian Hostilities
    • Re-take Main Air Base and Grass Strip airfield

     

     

    Loss Conditions

    • All SEAL Team members killed
    • Both pilots killed
    • Carrier sunk

     

     

    Currently I have been successful in MOD-ing all the fixed wind aircraft flight models, to bring them to a more realistic levels in reference to airspeed and load outs. I have done the same for the Rotor-Wing, however there are issues with this I am trying to fix.

     

    The new aircraft configs will limit speed and give us the ability for specific load-outs. This dramatically increases the need for Air Supremacy and Top Notch flying skills. From the Carrier's current location its a good 6-8 minute flight across the map (in a jet) now, so getting shot down when you're supposed to be supporting your SEAL Team, that's locked in a serious firefight...is REAL BAD THING. Getting back to the ship, launching and then back on station takes time and really puts the lives at risk, of your SEAL Team. If they get waxed...game over!

     

    This combined action (Air (CAP, CAS & DEAD), Ground (SEAL and Support) and SAR) provides for an environment where the two entities have to work together, very closely to win...anything else is doomed to failure.

     

    Zeno is getting me the script so that the carrier will have a an assigned station...meaning it will be moving between preplanned way points. You'll also need to be a good navigator, otherwise you'll never find the ship to refuel / rearm. This adds in another element in the mix.

     

    So Far I have the flight models MOD'ed, the basic map with the carrier and US air assets in place. The basic setup of the Russian Army and Air Forces in the NE. I need to get the bugs worked out of the aircraft config scripts, the rest of the ground and air forces in place for the Op Forces. The mission scripting for the movements and win loss conditions done and some more testing.

     

    Then get everything converted to ACE 2 and working...should be ready around late summer of 2015 :lol:

     

    I would love to get some help with this as most of its is way over my head and learning it take too much time.

     

    This should also lend itself to a GREAT TvT map as well.

     

    I'm open for ideas and suggestions

    What exactly is "laundering money" and how do they get away with it?

     

     

    Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm, loads of filthy lucre. The problem with that much cash is its so hard to move, you cant buy stuff, you cant put it into a bank, its almost worthless unless it can be laundered and that is getting more difficult as well.

     

    Honestly the guy has risked his and his family's life, destroyed the lives of many, for a room full of paper, it wasnt a good trade.

     

    Fight Science: Special Ops

    That was one of the most INCREDIBLE videos I've seen.

     

    I've always known Special Ops Guys we're extremely unique breed that excel at accomplishing impossible things, that normal people can't do under normal (non-stressed) situations...but what these Guys do under situations that kill normal people (severely stressed), with incredible efficiency, is truly AMAZING.

     

    It really goes to prove how powerful the mind coupled with proper training / conditioning can really be.

     

    Just AWESOME...my hat will always be off to these Guys!

     

     

    note to self...never piss of a Special Force's dude!
