I just want to say I'm sorry for coming into the TAC server yesterday. I thought that if I sent my question through text and maintained my silence on TS that I might be able to help out in a support role where if I had to leave my computer momentarily, I could. The thought didn't even cross my mind that it was being recorded which would mean text wouldn't even look so good if it was going to be published. I'll just stay out of those TAC sessions unless I'm there at the beginning and can stay. Problem... When I left the TAC server, I joined the Stock Dom server and found that I couldn't shoot any sort of gun where the ammunition went further than a foot or so. The only rounds that went further were AT, AA, 203's etc. Is that normal for that server to do that? We thought that we should switch maps and we couldn't change it to any map other than Zargabad and no matter what we did, we couldn't fire weapons that took regular ammunition. Every once in awhile it might be fun to play a game where the only thing you use is AT or something but on that server we can't carry very many rounds. --dizko

Crap...I didn't mean to put this in the Call of Duty forum section and I'm not sure how to move it. Sorry.

I've been digging into the files a little bit because I'm toying with the idea of teaching myself how to script. I like to tear things apart so to speak to learn where things are at. Are all the sounds kept in one pbo file or are they scattered throughout many pbo files? Also, I'm looking at the in game music. I'd like to listen to the options but I don't want to have to use the editor to do that but rather put them in a playlist. I found a utility that will allow me to unpack a pbo and I found the file music.pbo. That pbo file contains all the songs listed in the top part of the following web page (see below). Which pbo contains the other songs?...ogg files?...srarting with the section ArmA 2: Operation Arrowhead on down? http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_2:_Music#ArmA_2:_Operation_Arrowhead

Thanks for the video links Halli. Awesome. Here's one of my favorites.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GFlsnq6iKk&feature=player_embedded

Towards the end of the documentary, they showed what looked like a Spartan logo. I'm not sure if that means something to that unit or if it was one of the guys that liked the movie...or someone's alma mater etc.

I have my favorite movies too but there's nothing like watching the real thing. 24 seconds into this video made me laugh...the hazards of fighting in shorts and no socks on. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZmJ9iYWx5o&feature=related By the way, this whole documentary is on Netflix right now. It's a National Geographic documentary called Restrepo. I believe this is an Army Airborne unit.

If a Medic in Arma can fit a tent and a generator in his backpack and a machine gunner can fit all those sand bags and materials to build an in placement, why couldn't an engineer (or some other role) be able to hold one of these 40mm guns in his back pack? =)

Roach or whoever....I'd like to get that alternate TS password when you get a moment. Thx.

Roach, I'd be up for that. I think the trick would be finding a server that's ... not laggy, has a few or a handful of helo's and allows anyone to fly. Did you have one in mind?

On the topic of while we're waiting for the servers.... (Future Robert Hammer addition?) Mini gun

Skazbr....I get that same error but I hit ok and it lets me continue anyway. I've been told how to fix it but I choose not to because of all the tree's and bushes on the lingor map. Without that add-on the island looks pretty bare. I think I'm going to leave it as is because I can see the enemy way before anyone else can. =) Leaving it as is though, if you're flying an mhq around and someone is sitting in the mhq and you're flying low enough where mhq is going through trees, my understanding is that even though I don't see the tree's, I could kill or injure whoever is sitting in the mhq if they are running the add-on. I may be wrong but that was my understanding.

The foot note is the funniest part.... http://dudelol.com/i-received-the-most-amazing-letter-in-the-mail-today/

I could see Steel wanting an all out air to air Colt war. =)

It reminds me of a Quake 2 mod I played 10 years ago called Expert CTF. One of the servers had Homer (Simpson) vs Tigger. Homer would always yell Doh when he got hit or injured and Tigger would do his laugh. It was fun to play.

Can someone bring one of these along? I'd like to kill some rocks and stuff with it.... That video reminded me of this video except this specific video is the shortened version of the one I saw.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVms5xxwpEE The video I saw went on and on and it took those guys 10-15 minutes to finally hit the RC plane.

Is the Shacktac movement addon supposed to work on the ACE server? http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=12540 When I joined the server with that enabled, I couldn't see the MHQ let alone use the teleport capability. I only found the main MHQ because I was driving by it in another vehicle. I couldn't see it to teleport to it from base and when I found it accidentally, I couldn't bring up the menu to get in it or to teleport back to base. Using the action menu standing right by only gave me options to switch my own weapons and that's it. When I joined the server without the addon enabled I could see everything just fine. If you've had problems with that addon before and can't use it on the server because of the problems it gives, that's cool. I just thought I'd give the addon a try. dizko

Ok...I was looking at the wrong CBA file. It's working now.

ok...i keep getting a version mismatch on the CBA stuff. I'm able to load into the server but it gives a bunch of numbers and the last one it says I have is 147 and the servers number is 151. I downloaded the CBA file from armaholic but apparently it's the wrong version. Where can I get a newer version?

After I updated to sp1, ACE froze on me in the game every 5 to 10 minutes. It froze for about 30-45 seconds. After Haji suggested to update NVIDIA and directx drivers, I'm back to normal again.

Friday? Who's down to play tonight? =)

1159232 thanks.

Something I'm prepared for you to say no on is my request to generate new threads on the forum. All I can do now is reply to existing threads. If you can't, I'm cool with that. I may from time to time "hijack" other threads though with non-related information. I'll keep my posts brief. Thanks again for the fly/drive (mhq) permissions on the server.

Thank you Zeno. =)

Thanks Zeno.

I didn't have any problems until recently. If you don't mind, i'd like to be added to the list. I only fly or drive when there's only a few people on the server anyway. I don't do that when I'm working with a group. Thanks. id = 1159232
