Pringle~SPARTA~

Good... because I totally fubar'd this package! =)

I got bored, so I bundled all of the necessary files into a self-install package. It'll work similar to the CAA1 package for Sahrani Domination. It's compiled and uploading now. It's just shy of 1 GB, so I'll post again tonight with the link once it's uploaded (ETA 5 hours. I hate my ISP!). Great vid, Beta.... I couldn't get that work to save my life the other night! Edit: I just realized that I used the files from my personal install for the package. The only difference is that my name is in the "John Doe" area of the config file. Edit 2: Turns out I've wasted the past few hours. Apparently my CBA installation is a bit corrupt. If this installer package is something ya'll want, I'll clean it up this weekend and try again.

Great info Beta! I've been looking for much of that. Thanks!

Is anyone playing this? Figured I'd start a place to discuss (comiserate?) achievements, milestones, etc. Thinking this would make for an interesting MP platform. Too bad it isn't.

Great work as always! Can't wait to see what else is up your sleeve!

KalXen would probably be able to explain this more efficiently then I can, but Beta is essentially correct. While the Human OPFOR cannot exit the bounds of the Main AO at all, they can send AI outside of it up to 500m. This could allow them to order an attack on the MHQ. This is why it's crucial that the MHQ be stationed well away from the AO border and kept as hidden as possible as well.

Downloaded the Beta. Installed the Beta. Played the Beta. Half of the screen was black in the Beta. Uninstalled the Beta.

Ditto.

Nope.. its working.

I obviously don't know how the code works but I'll assume that once a player enters the aircraft as pilot the code checks for their ID in the flight list. If it exists, they're good to go. If not, their booted. Again, I don't know the scripting language and it's capabilities, but perhaps a different approach would be to remove the "Get in as pilot" action for players not on the list? Even if possible, would this be more or less exhaustive on the server? Just a thought. Ty

Since everyone seems to be overloading Kal with bugs I figured I'd do my part: I've noticed that folks not on the flight list can still sit in the pilot seat for a few seconds before they're booted out. As for the Blackhawks, this is just enough time for someone to pop in and get the rotors spinning. Of course, the helo is shut off when they're ejected but I witnessed recently someone pop in and out repeatedly before the rotors stopped completely which allowed them to lift off of the ground just enough to crash the helo into the ground (or in this case several players) before they're booted out again. I wouldn't call this a critical bug (apparent solution being to stay away from idiots trying to fly the helos. The helos DO respawn.), but it's annoying and frustrating nonetheless. Ty

nah, just bored out of my mind in a town with nothing to do. ;-)

A watch might be a logical solution as well... =) I'm nothing if not complicated!

Because I routinely lose track of time when I'm in game and there's no convenient place to set a clock near my pc. I'm using TINT TS overlay and it's supposed to (at some point) support a plugin that displays the time, but it's still in development. Is SpartaLib publicly available? Thanks for the reply!

One for the code junkies... I'm wondering if it might be possible to write an addon that displays the current system time in a HUD of sorts. The bit of research I've done has only led me to accessing the in-game time. Is it even possible to retrieve the system time from within an addon? A penny for your thoughts? Mucho Gracias!

Quakes "rail gun" just won't be the same after this.... **fowards to KalXen.... *hint* *hint*... say... Opfor BigDom Ver O??? Ty

Movie night must be a traumatic experience at this house...

Ditto.

I use a Photoshop plugin called PAAPlug from here: http://www.kegetys.net/dl.php/tools06062009.zip. There are a few other tools bundled with this as well. Photoshop not included. Ty

You had me at "Google"! Yay, now ALL of my internet activity can be mined, stored for eternity, and fed to the government and corporations without my consent or knowledge! I suppose only one questions remains... where do I sign?!

I use the Logitech 3D Extreme Pro for ARMA2. It's exactly as you described plus a throttle control. I mostly just fly transport, so I can't say how well it performs for all scenarios. It gets the job done for me, though. Ty

Sign me up for the ti-99 version? thanks! =)

Anoouncement? Fingers hadn't thawed yet I suppose.
