huh...well, one thing i know for sure is frenchie and i will be running a tacdom in the ace server around 11pm EST. we actually didn't know you were planning something similar. anyhow, we'll be doing either side or main AO's depending on the size of the group. Jeff

just a heads-up...this should be going active tomorrow (3/11) so make sure you have it downloaded Jeff

i'll be along tonight, once gunthar and i are done screwing around with the map editor and random mods and maps again...

hey, smokey, while i'm thinking about it....if you and your guys can make the PAVETAC turret script work well, the ACE dev team would probably appreciate it, since they're having issues getting the Su-25 and MQ-9 laser turrets to rotate and laze properly. just a thought, take it or leave it... also, i'd be more than happy to test this as well. Jeff

i hereby declare this post made of win. good work guys! Jeff

if i'm awake tomorrow, i'm in

bring it on kal...dear lord thats gunna be messy. lets just say i'm interested in how you would rework the AO locations as a result...

oh yes...we need more turnouts like that. also, as a heads-up, ACE 1.9 is coming soon...

i'll agree with donzi on the earplugs thing. i'll have to propose that on dev-heaven. as for preset kits....no. while it sounds good to you batwing, we don't always play the same slot every time we join the server. some days i'm in a MC slot, some days a team leader, some days a medic. i know i don't carry half the gear you do, and my kit varies from mission to mission. therefore, a preset kit that may be awesome to you, causes more work for anyone else who joins that slot. or, everyone has "their" slot, and it happens to be one class. if they want to play a different class that day, then they have to change all the kit anyhow. on top of that, you open the door to someone getting pissed that you are in "their" spot. a "save gear" function would be much better, if it wasn't bugged so that every time you are revived you get all your gear back. i remember the days of that being abused on the public server to resupply in the field, instead of securing a spot and calling for ammo. Jeff

if i'm on TS, holler at me, i'll come test em too. btw, lighty, you need to hop on TS more man...haven't seen you in there in ages... Jeff

sadly, all we got was gunthar, vapor, noob and papercut priceless vid though. reminds me of my failed attempt to land a C130 on the western mountain AO town's airstrip.......

no problem man

rocky, add jealco, killerbees, gambit160, and whitewolves as well. and yes, we may be down for some friendly 1v1 or 2v2 matches as well. just find us on TS. Jeff

ok, though, trust me, the M14 RCO that ACE has is remarkably accurate too. the reason the graduations in the scope are off is because the RCO on the M14 was designed for 5.56mm weapons, not 7.62mm.

watchman, RCO and ACOG are actually the same sight. also, i forgot to mention the SCAR variants (both Mk16 [L] and Mk17 [H] models, plus a rather unique one that fires AKM mags) that robert added.

a few nights ago, jack and i were sitting around, and discussing some of the gaps in the ammobox, such as a general lack of HK416/417 variants with ACOG's. after a few minutes of discussion, and a little poking around at armaholic, we found several weapons packs by robert hammer, who actually made the HK416/417's and the immensely popular M14 RCO we use now. i have downloaded all of these weapons packs, and compiled them into one big pack. i would ask that anyone who is interested in what is in here, download the pack and look through it, and determine whether or not you would like to see some or all of these weapons added to the servers. for the curious, a very much abbreviated list of what is contained within this link follows (please note that these weapons have a very large variation of optics and grenade launcher attachments): ACR Masada HK416/417 M14/Mk14/M21/SOCOM II/M1ES1 (all M14 variants) M60 (M145, ACOG, and Holo sight) M4/M16 (i know we already have a bunch, but they came with one of the downloads, whether i wanted em or not) also included is the pistol pack (this list is by no means complete, just a general idea of what is in there): Desert Eagle Colt Anaconda Colt Python Taurus Raging Bull Kimber M1911 Mk22 Hush Puppy the majority of these weapons are already ACE compatible, so far as i can tell. i will attempt to test them further as i go to explore the latest version of domi as well. as a last note, i would propose that we make this a one-time download, and do not attempt to follow downloads after this. this way, we don't have to play the version chase game many of us already do with ACE. download away, comment away, and, if you feel the need to, flame me (PM preferred, so that we don't disrupt the main point of this thread!) Link: weapons pack download as i uploaded on a free acct, i don't know how long this will last. if it goes down, let me know and i will re-upload it. Jeff P.S. Zeno, i just realized i forgot the server key in this file. if the community wants this pack, i will upload the server key somewhere for you.

watchman, we have lingor 1.1 now. the new island is definitely only accessible with amphibious vehicles, boats or helos. zeno is going to work on giving us an AO or 2 up there sometime soon.

cool concept, i guess...but who really has a use for it, aside from undercover law enforcement? Jeff

zeno, so far no sign of a 1.1 dom. if you're willing, and have the time, we'd appreciate it if you could experiment with it.

lingor is...well...amazing. EBE, if you ever want something changed on the map, PM me. i lump the stuff together every so often and the go to zeno, so we aren't bugging him every day. as an aside, lingor 1.1 is out now. so if you all want, maybe we can get it. it has a new island added off of the main one...amphibious assaults, anyone? Jeff

its great fun. myself, killerbees, gambit, warzero, frenchie, crownroyal and EMT have some rather epic brawls, and have recently started using custom maps. its quite the experience. anyone who is looking for a partner for comp stomping, or even the odd adversarial match, should holler at me. Jeff

Zeno, as of right now, noobachi is telling me the Lingor Dom server isn't showing, just the ACE and public servers....

jeff needs access to all applicable lists on the lingor server. can i get a double-check on my rights on the public server too? id - 1632710 thanks in advance guys! jeff

all you need is spartaace man. if i catch you on later, i'll walk you thru the install process. Jeff

batwing, i was just on dev-heaven a few minutes ago....there's a gripe up about the TWS sights already. says they've already tweaked it for 1.8. as for the parachute/backpack bug, i'll keep my eye open over there and see if it crops up on dev-heaven. Jeff
