  1. I seem to remember us having this on the public server. Is it possible to get an updated version uploaded onto the server when someone gets a moment. Thanks.

  2. Need some advice from those of you more versed in guns than I.

     

    My brother is thinking about trading a dirt bike for some cash and a DPMS AR-15 to make up the remaining $900. I don't know much about it other than it has a foregrip and collapsible stock--I'll be getting pictures Sunday. Is $900 a decent price for such a weapon? Seems like the bone stock rifles go for like $750 but I could be wrong. I know some Colt ARs and even some Bushmasters can go for over a grand new, not sure about used prices.

     

    Any help is appreciated, as I'd be footing the bill for it. My goal is to get a half-way decent sight and foregrip, depending on what it has already.

     

    Thanks

     

    DPMS is a good weapon but I much prefer my Windham Weapons AR. Bushmaster was bought out by Remington a few years back and all of the designers and gunsmiths that didn't want to remain after the merger left and formed Windham Weapons and just started making AR's again. So you get a Bushmaster quality weapon for under $900. I think total I spent 950 for my weapon, an extra mag, and a forward grip. Then I put an EOTECH holo on it since I get those sexy employee discounts.

  3. Well What about it ....ya get on yet?

     

    Nope still fubar, I still show a complete loss of trace well before i get to the TS server IP so something between me and it are screwing me up.

  4. Could be a DNS failure. Try using the IP instead - 109.234.199.199

     

    If that fails also, I won't be much help from Kuwait. But I can try and grab the attention of an online admin to help.

    Nope, it looks like the trace is breaking down at a node near the east coast after IP 149.6.11.202. I get nothing but timeouts after that so it appears as if there is a break in the chain.

     

    And I really wanted to play Mechs tonight with peeps

  5. Ok so I boot up my computer today and try to connect to the sparta TS and I get a failed to connect to host error. I have changed nothing on my computer since last night so why in the hell am I now unable to connect to just that server?

  6. Since Day Z is making its rounds again I have decided to put one up for the group.

     

    I have paid the first month myself and if you wish you can help out over the coming months if you want I can give you the info.

     

    The current map is on Zargabad and can be changed weekly if you guys want. It is private under the name Legion of Sparta Day Z with the password being tiger.

     

    I will give the password for Rcon to those I trust so someone will always be available.

  7. I played on my own on the ace server and killed 40 infantry with the m110 for no loss of life. I moved around a lot. I just havent experienced the constant headshot others have mentioned. The AI are better at flanking than before.

     

    Which version were you playing?

  8. It's been awhile and I don't have the greatest memory, but I am fairly certain that Zeno and I modified the Dom files so it will all run off of map markers for AO locations, side mission locations, base defense locations, all that good stuff.

     

    I don't have a clue what Domination version that we did that for, perhaps Zeno could tell you and point you in the right direction for a pbo with our work in it. If it was for an older version of Domination, I would say just take a look at the changes we made and then port that over to the new version. It takes a little bit of time to get the code changed to look for markers instead of coordinates, but if you're going to port to more than one map, its definitely worth it.

    I remember one of you two mentioning that at one point that was why I was asking because at one point it was a script change when you changed maps but I had thought someone had solved it.

     

    Also if anyone has experience porting Insurgency to different maps hit me up because I had an idea but have never done that port before.

  9. This may take some time.

     

    1. Please get J hunter the info he asked for and post it up.

     

    2. Hunter is in the sandbox but may be able to guide you.

    3. we will get back to you on this.

     

    I understand the code I just was not sure how you go about porting Dom to other maps in terms of side mission and AO location movements.

  10. 1 I played with Jeff and co just after they complained about the dispersion mod, it worked fine in hours of play I was rarely taken out with one shot.

     

    2 In the past we always added infantry to the stock version, in the latest iteration I did not., but it can be done

     

    3 I find this confusing there are dom missions for almost every map on the server, the only thing they do not have is version 2.6x, I think they are all 2.57

     

    4 I do enjoy arma and have never stopped supporting it, Jeff usually sends me a pm and I sort it out and if I cant I get help from someone who can.

     

    5 Honestly the best thing to do is open the mission and start ferreting around. Once you look at it for a while you will quickly get a sense of where everything is. Whilst there are hundred of files and folders, most things can be dealt with in less than 10.

     

    1. I am not sure what the issue is then because there are times where we get into a firefight and actually survive and then there are maps where you hear two shots and you?re dead from across the AO. I am not sure if it is a peculiar thing in relation to individual units such as the FN FAL guys almost routinely capping people at 1000m in one or two shots while the PKM soldiers can either fire two rounds or fire a belt to kill you, it?s completely random in terms of which map and which version your playing. I know there have been a few AI upgrade modifications that have come out recently I was just wondering if it would be possible to try some of these out and see if they can solve the issue. Like I said there are nights where I get into good firefights like last night but this is mostly on the older DOM maps while the newer versions are just killing us right and left constantly with one or two shots.

     

    2. The addition of infantry would defiantly make life more interesting, thank you sir.

     

    3. I thought the Dom versions for Lingor ,Cherno, and Duala were much older than 2.57, maybe I missed the update post. I have played 2.6 and the concept is awesome however it has been hindered by the issue in #1 where you catching two and three rounds then dying before you can return fire. That one seems to be the one almost no one plays so if all the other dom?s are 2.57 then we are golden I just was not aware they had all been upgraded.

     

    4. Trust me Zeno I am not directing anything toward you I know that 99% of the time you?re the one carrying the load on keeping the ACE server moving I just don?t want you to be the only person available to take care of issues as they pop up, that way you can enjoy Arma as a player not a problem solver. I just think with Arma 3 coming soon we should get more people involved so that we have coverage across all time zones to handle issues as they arise and not burden one or two individuals with all the work.

     

    5. My main issue is the placement of the AO?s and side missions I don?t understand if it is a simple marker script to move the marker and determine where the AO?s are placed or if it is a grid location or what. If its something similar to the mission objective marker system that denotes the location of a mission objective during coop missions then I am familiar with it however I have not dealt with dom. I will break it down this week and take a look at it.

     

    Loves you long time!
