    Sparta Ace chernarus test server

    Version c is on the server now.

     

    It is set to run side missions only

     

    Following a quick test with Idan I have reduced the armour in the side missions

     

    I have added atvs around the base that respawn back to their original position after 3 minutes (Thanks for the script MH6).

     

    Still more to do but let me know if there is still too much armor for the side missions.

     

    You mean you dont want to have to splash an entire armored division each time you arrest some guy? Where is your sporting spirit sir?

    Looks like I should have refreshed my page prior to posting, LOL

    Great minds think alike huh Batwing? thumbsup_anim.gif

    I think this mod will add a lot to the games experience.

     

    BTK Cargo Drop script

     

     

    Sweet Jeebus i want this mod more than anything, ever. If we get this i volunteer to fly cargo drop for anyone, anywhere, anytime. Actually, i will probably only land to get more cargo.

     

     

    EDIT: Also, what is the HUD mod some people are using on the ACE server? Id like to pick it up.

    Zeno to the rescue as always.

     

     

    As to the Wildcat, i can confirm the bird was repairing properly as of last night @ 11pm PST. at the chopper service. No luck at the FOBs, but i doubt those would repair it anyways...just a bummer when your gas tank gets shot out :)

     

    The side mission spawns do seem a bit off currently, but not un-playable.

    Try this in ArmA 2

    With a helicopter, just like a regular soldier, one needs to push the envelope of their abilities, as well as the abilities of the equipment to know how it will do during a situation where it counts. Capt. Sully Sullenberger knew this....although I doubt if he ever put a 757 in the water for practice. :)

     

    Besides, the first couple weeks of Blackhawk training school is how to get out of a drowned chopper :)

     

     

    Learn by doing! Or in most cases by failing then doing over

    Heh, I have done that in ArmA. Someone, Goon I think, got shot down in the middle of the ocean and I managed to get a blackhawk down low (gear in the water) to pick him up. But yeah, it looks more like an accident than an intentional stunt. If it was intentional, that pilot should be grounded permanently for risking lives and hardware like that.

     

    maybe they were fishing?

    I personally have not had any problems getting shot by the AI or killing them. Shoot for the chest and head and they go down in 1 shot. I have seen many people doing the regular vanilla dom "sit on a hill and snipe" and then get lit up pretty bad. I have found if you properly use cover and advance in a tactically sound manner you will have no problems with the so called super AI. Yes, they can shoot pretty far, but so can you. I agree at times it is somewhat un-realistic, but i much prefer this to the vanilla easy mode that it has been in OA. I think the AI causing us to fail often will make everyone better players, and forces us to make tactically sound decisions rather than just steam rolling the AO no matter how or where we come from.

     

    Also, not to sound rude to anyone, as im really not trying to be. If you want to whine about ACE in the main channels, please refrain. I personally dont want to sit though an hour of people complaining about it. Post on the forums, talk about it in side channels but some of us are trying to play and would prefer not to hear the gripe fest. I understand the frustration, but i really have not experienced these issues to any extent so i know they can be easily overcome. Maybe this comes from my past of playing on SHACKTAC in OFP where you would spend 2 hours crawling into position, just to get shot the minute you began the attack, with no respawn. It forced me to really think about my decisions and tactics to maximize my chances of making it through. honestly, the AI is cake compared to the human V human stuff we had there, even on hard. Maybe i have more patience than most for this type of stuff, but please dont bother others with your complaints if you can help it.

     

    Also, thanks for all the server work Zeno. I personally dont agree with the fast respawn for the jets, as the long respawn makes you really think long and hard about using them improperly. But if that is what the majority wants i wont labor the point.

     

     

    Thanks

    Frenchie the engineers on both Takistan (54d) and Chernarus (test_a) should be fixed now. These are on the servers now.

     

     

    Thanks Zeno

     

    As for the AI issue, i have not had any problems. If the AI is turned down dont go too far, i like having to try again finally. If you are getting shot too much, try finding some decent cover.

    Grizzly, we dont want to perma ban anyone for something like that (just a temporary ban ;))

     

    Really, what i try to do (and it seems what mostly was done before OA by the rest of Sparta as well) was AT LEAST 1 verbal warning to cease what was being done etc. If there was a good reason fine, if not and the individual stopped doing whatever it was, lesson learned, play on and enjoy. If not then we start thinking about privilege removal etc.

     

    For example...some whacko takes off in the BH and starts pounding the AO without approval. They are asked to return vehicle they a) comply and are still more than welcome anytime. B) b. they do not comply, then they are warned again, if still no compliance they are removed from flight list. If they continue to try and fly and crash vehicles then kick etc etc.

     

    I would not worry about making a mistake as long as that is what it is. We all have to learn sometime, and we will I HOPE politely request you secure the incorrect behavior before doing anything else.

    We can just mute them until they listen :thumbsup:

     

    Hopefully we can get everything reined back in and everyone happy asap. And as Durka said, this is not calling any specific person out...rather just the general decline in things due to the new game.

    I have been trying to crack down on the choppers lately...but it seems some non-sparta members do not care to listen to the rules and would rather continue with it.

     

    Zeno...should we be pming you names for removal from flight list if need be?

     

    As to the rules...i think they could stand to be slightly stricter, but i dont know how well this would go over on the server so i think enforcement will be key.

     

    We Spartans need to get off our butts and keep things organized. I have noticed often there are several sparta people on but then nobody is coordinating things. Maybe not to the extent of a mission commander, but at times this is very useful, especially when air assets are up. I think it is our duty to at least provide logistical guidance when we are on. For example...whenever an AO is cleared i always try to organize (or at the very least confirm it is happening) the repositioning of the MHQ. Often times this means i end up moving it myself, which is not a problem but the point is that we should be taking the lead somewhat here. I will personally volunteer to act in this function anytime i am on.

     

    Of course, we dont need 8 different Sparta people screaming for things all the time...just once person to make sure the MHQ moves, we designate a good spot for it and hopefully designate a decent approach and if need be call in arty/air assets. I think this will keep things moving smoothly and the gameplay level up to par with our standards.
