Whiskey Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I had installed the SOW (Sounds of War) addon yesterday after tweaking Arma 2 to fix my crashing every 15 minute issue (rolled back to 186.18 ftw). However when I connected to the server it dropped me for an unsupported file. What if any addons are allowed for the SPARTA servers? Also anyone have any client side ones that are recommended? I thought I read it somewhere, but can not find the post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halli~SPARTA~ Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 At this current time no mods are allowed but Zeno when time alots has been working on what Signed mods he will allow and will get back to us on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EMT~SPARTA~ Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 that sounds like a great idea, ive been wanting to put the A-10 sound up but to no luck... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheelow Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I would like to at least be able to use VopSound. It really makes a world of difference, and distinguishing each weapon by sound is far more better. Not to mention the A-10 sounds incredible with vopsound.

Hopefully we shall know which mods are allowed by xmas There are some great mods for ArmA 2, I can't wait until ACE 2 Mod is released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeno~SPARTA~ Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 A little history on mods and why they have not been allowed on the legion of Sparta servers. This is our first experience in running a public ArmA server. At first all was well. But out of the blue whole towns were killed with one blast, the hackers had arrived. We tried to manage this, but it was impossible. So we turned on signature verification and allowed no mods. Since then we havent had hackers on our server (so far), so the admins only have to deal with the innumerable, but identifiable people, who try to spoil the game in other ways. We will watch this thread, but probably allow only a couple of mods, such as the VOP. If a vegetation fix is introduced we will run that on the server. When the ACE mod comes out, we almost certainly will run 2 public servers, 1 with and 1 without the mod. Our Tac server will run with it. ACE is great but because it is constantly updated it can be a bit intimidating on a public server, but it is worth the hassle. Finally please note, the choice is not just mine, all the server admins have a say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeno~SPARTA~ Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I have changed this thread to the mod request thread and it is now pinned VOP 2.1 has been added to the approved list for signature verification Please do not ask for every single little mod to be added, lets try to all be playing the same game. I will post a new topic indicating which Mods will be allowed on the Sparta servers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebden~SPARTA~ Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 If a vegetation fix is introduced we will run that on the server. Do you mean something similar to the german berzerk server, with a scroll selection for grass/nograss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeno~SPARTA~ Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 No I mean Durgs vegetation fix from arma 1 Its a serverside mod that makes bushes and most trees more effective cover. I didnt know other servers existed, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custard~SPARTA~ Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Do you mean something similar to the german berzerk server, with a scroll selection for grass/nograss? I believe the fix Zeno is refering to stops AI being able to see through vegatation that we can't see through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebden~SPARTA~ Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I believe the fix Zeno is refering to stops AI being able to see through vegatation that we can't see through. That would be more helpful, while keeping the fun of peeking through grass at a bad guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightspeed~SPARTA~ Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 plz can we post links to the downloads here too so we are all getting the same version of mod - VOP sounds good to me - where plz? and just quickly, the cover in arma2 has been fixed pretty well i think - they completely redesigned the way the AI viewed the trees and seems to be effective. i dont feel like its an unfair fight now.

Zeno~SPARTA~ Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Mods allowed on the server is a pinned topic here it includes download links The correct key for vopsound is now running on the server We can investigate the cover provided by bushes etc in another thread, but I will investigate.

Super64 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 so vop 2.1 is currently the only mod allowed? that isnt final correct, meaning more will be allowed in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
