G'day all.

for the past 2 or so days ive been working on this custom mission of mine. and ive goten to the stage where i want to test it with more ppl than just myself. so atm im looking for 4-5 other people that would be willing to give us a hand with this. however, i have several mods involved in this so to test it youll need them.

Mission:

in short the mission is to defend a hotel (could be an embassy) where refegues have taken shelter. you are surrounded by several 100's (really only around 60 - 80) hostile rebels and utes. once you think it is clear and safe to move out the 3 squads that where defending will load up in a convoy and make the dash for the nearby RAC airbase. however expect to meet resistants on the drive.

Players:

there are 3 positions for squad leaders on the defenders side and 3 positions for Unit leaders on the insergent side, myself and Delta (if i can get onto him b4 trail night) will take have first pick at the positions.

so yer if you want to give this a shot just post here, ask ne questions you want. if after the trial all feedback is positive and i can see potential in this i may modify it to fun on normal arma and release it to the public.

ok on to some screenshots:

lol.. hmm problem is that this custom mission need queens gambit. and as you probaly know the city's in vanila arma are the worts optimized peices of s*** in the game. in that custom map i get 50 fps in the center of it all while in the arma cities im lucky to get 18.... BUT seeming as im lacking the full team work of coop i might invest my new found school holidays time in a vanilla mission. =D but word of warning i hate the normal skins so it will have custom things lol

You can just download QG through a torrent, since it doesn't actually install as a game, it's really only a mod, so no cd key or crack is required.

How do I help you with this so called "Mission"?

well i just want ppl to help test this one out and wat not. as i may release it or expand it and wat not. really just to get some feedback and to have a good coop game with more than just one other person.

BTW ive changed it from these (Greek Special Operations Unit: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=536) to these (http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=521) as for some reason they were messing with the true mod and the night vision.

Yeah i hate it when mods mess with my TrueMods, its the only one I really like so i refuse to go back to normal for the sake of some stupid smoke effects or whatever. Im in for testing whenever

ahh btw has anyone here had a go at that Sahrani-life mod? im thinking of downloading it. seems like it would be pretty good lol.

yeah thats what i thought, like i read epic stories on the PR forums about it, but whenever i request it on the aussie servers i just get shot down. apparently the aus arma community hates rpg's. i guess we are playing a combat simulator tho and those tastes might not mix. theres a couple of american servers that are always full with it running, except my ping is monstrous.

I think OGN has it, maybe we could try it out on their servers?

wats your xfire?

also i just tried that rpg mod on those yank servers... its bloody fun! minus the huge lag i had it was a blast. so many things you can do. and i can only imagin wat it would be like with other mates on and it on a Aus server.

P.S. wats the button for text chat? lol

"/" lol. check your controls silly :P .
yeah allyourbase i tried to use xfire last time but it ended up freezing my computer. i guess in the end running teamspeak, teamspeak overlay, fraps and xfire and arma was too much lol. yeah i dont think we're ever gonna get sahrani life off the ground in aus, but i spose we could organise it sometime. unfortunately i think you'd need alot of players.

lol i was going to but there are just so many!... hmm really? i can run fraps, msn, xfire, ts arma and like 4 firefox browers with no problem lol.

yer it would only really be good with min of 20 players. but its so good once you get a game going.
