Is it a big change on Arma1?

[Psyrus]

I can't tell from your screenshots pogo... did you fix that "horrible" looking scenery ever?

[dtacs]

Where Does I Download Demo?

[Gu^n3r]

if your with a major ISP they will have it uploaded.

ie. GSA, Internode, GA, OGN, etc.

[pogoman]

I can't tell from your screenshots pogo... did you fix that "horrible" looking scenery ever?

no, i narrowed it down to the orange trees being the worst. the green ones look ok but arma 2 is full of these orange ones. in general the scenery has pretty poor textures for me though, but i think thats cause my video card only has 512mb of memory, so my textures are forced to normal.

[Captain_Wolf]

Actually Evil wouldn't mind a scope shot from you, my pc doesn't look any where near that good and takes ages to render the details once I have scoped in.

Yes it is playable online. It is rather buggy and laggy i just screw around with mission editor and just do 100 vs 100 bots or something stupid like that its pretty entertaining cant wait till full version is released in aus.

[pogoman]

everyones vegetation looks so much better than mine. im like constantly stuck on distant lod textures for my vegetation, makes the game look horrible in comparison :/

secretly the shipped you a dodgy version ;)

[BL4CK1E]

everyones vegetation looks so much better than mine. im like constantly stuck on distant lod textures for my vegetation, makes the game look horrible in comparison :/
What do you mean exactly? Because i dont think the vegitation on mine looks all that great... but i am using the demo so performance might drop in the full version =/

[pogoman]

its the same in the demo and the full version for me. basically you know when your looking at far off vegation it has a lower quality texture (as its further away). well when i get closer the quality of the texture doesnt increase, so trees and bushes for me look really ugly up close (i think the terrain is doing this too).

[S.O.P]

common problem or specific to just you.

i'm downloading the demo now, will post some screenies later.

Would someone mind putting up some pics of a civilian using an G36c for me please. ;)

[Pill Monster]

Does it have to be a civvie?

player review:
Ok, thanks to a local Saturn store and a sudden case mental derangement where i didnt follow my principles i bought ArmA2 and installed it 2 hours ago.

My System:

Vista Home 32Bit
Intel Core2Duo E8400 3,0GHz
2 GB Ram
Nvidia 8800 GT

My first, short conclusion after these 2 hours playtime:

Im positivly surprised - really.

I was ready for a complete bug desaster.
ArmA 2 runs fluid even after all options were set to "High" and still feels very "organic".

The sounds are really fitting, for my taste a bit too "Hollywood-like" but still very well made.
What i really like are the way how it sounds when you run.
Depending on the moving speed the gear you carry around sounds louder or quiter.

The radio system was reworked. You still hear that the reports are put together from parts but its less robotic than in ArmA1.

It aint no revelation but its lot less annoying than before and lot nicer for the ears.

The enemy and friend AI behaved well in these 2 hours and reacted, depending on the difficulty of the unit, realistic, fast and precise.Sorry but I don't believe this guys review at all.......sounds more like an advertisement...

[VisOne]

Does it have to be a civvie?

Don't forget our Wally is one of the DEVs for the Private Security Contractors mini-mod for PR that's why I think he wants to see that particular setup. :sweat:

Sorry but I don't believe this guys review at all.......sounds more like an advertisement...

I'm with you that review is some grade A BS! ArmA 2 is a nice game and all but to say it.

ArmA 2 runs fluid even after all options were set to "High" and still feels very "organic"

Is a utter load of cod droppings.

EDIT: Just made a little animation of how shocking my ArmA 2 Demo can be.

[pogoman]

common problem or specific to just you.

i'm downloading the demo now, will post some screenies later.

i made a thread about it on the BI forums and a few people had the same problem. i got some pm's from two guys about it too who had the same setup as me. its funny how nvidia cards are the ones with the issues, ati cards usually have the problems :P

[Pill Monster]

Yep it's garbage alright.

I have twice the system that he has posted in his specs and it still runs like a pig. Vista 32 w/2GB ram?? Yeah right.

Just plain old BS.....

[Captain_Wolf]

I can see some of you guys are running quite high resolutions. If you are getting terrible frames then I suggest that you lower your resolution.

AFAIK screen resolution is the most critical setting on most games nowadays and most people run into a lot of FPS problems simply because they expect they can run every game at ludicrously high resolution.

[jamtheman_m]

unfortunate for you guys really, Im running it on mostly High quality and it runs smooth, looks great. Really immersive.
I actually prefer the playstyle of PR (Arma's ridiculous amount of controls makes it clunky till you get the hang of it) but Arma is just so much more immersive to me, with the environment and everything.

just quickly - how do you bind a screenshot key? I couldn't find the option in the "controls" options, and Printscreen does nothing...

[Bigsmokeee]

just run fraps :P jam you got full or demo >?

[VisOne]

Yeah I don't think there is a screenshot key I use fraps.

[Bigsmokeee]

they should of really had a flare system in-game. the f16 and C130 i downloaded both have it http://www.vimeo.com/5434194

How many people were playing CLR when you took those pics? Or how many are playing on your average weekend? I'm curious to see how popular it is.

[Chanvlan]

its very popular, take a look in the server list, filter Chern, and there is at lease 10 servers now, nearlly all of them full

a pic of a play around mission im working on, just a personaly edited script that allows u to jump o nthe chopper, then go on either side and shoot from the door. in short the mission is just hunting lol, a 2 - 6 player mission, its going to be on the desert map, have a base with hunting gear, dirt bikes, a single helo, and some utes. and outside the base fence will be wild life, and so on, want to work on some kind of scoring system, even a curency system, so a boar may be worth XYZ dollars, u collect it, take it back, sell it, and use the money to upgrade your gear.

im even thinking of (once the needed scripts are released, unless i can do it) turning it into a zombie mission :) were u have to do missions past the wire and so on so forth

[Gu^n3r]

i like both ideas, you should also have a general mission with just soldiers either side, so spec ops against insurgents or something perhaps, either way do tell moar!

[WallyJas]

Hunting wild animals from a chopper would be a very nice mission indeed. I can't wait to see the screen shot of a dead 'razorback' in the back of a Littlebird being transported back to hunting shed for 'processing'!

If you are going to do an 'out of the wire' type Zombie mission, I reckon you need to make it is shortly after the holocaust and you are out searching for survivors and having to engage 'infected'. Why else would you want to go 'out of the wire'?

Also, make it so that the weapons available are more accurate to what a civilian population would have access to. Bolt action scoped rifles, shotguns, lever action etc, weapons that are less capable and therefore require the operator to think rather than just decimate hordes of Zombies. This would make it less of a 'spray and pray' game and more of a realistic survival mission.

[Rhodesy_77]

bahah that just gave me a idea, just wanted to see if it was possible with units.

AND IT IS :D

http://i271.photobucket.com /albums/jj123/Rockyrhodes_77/arma22009-08-1716-16-18-48.jpg

hehehe

EDIT: dont worry mate, me and gunner have it covered :P, we spent a few hours the other night coming up with ideas.

[WallyJas]

That looks like gold .... well done!

You had better share them with me privately then hey ..... can't tell me only half of the story and then leave me. :)

[Rhodesy_77]

haha, well its only in the ideas stage atm. but we have biiig plans. if your interested on geting in on it and willing to learn some things im sure we can tell some things :shifty: lol. or u can just ask gunner, he has all the info down on paper.

[WallyJas]

I am certainly keen to learn ..... but will need very patient Instructor as I am complete noob to ARMA system :)

[Rhodesy_77]

haha thats nto a problem mate, so is gunner :P.

atm all we have are ideas, so the major thing for us atm is just seeing if these ideas are possible. and all of these ideas involve scripting lol, something im pretty crap at. so if u want to learn anything, go for scripting and mission editing. but yer later when i get the ideas that me and gunner wrote up ill PM them to u and u can just toy around in the editor seeing if u can get some of the ideas and make em work or even just adding your own ideas and letting us know.

[WallyJas]

No probs mate ..... I'll toy with the editor and you'll be my first port of call for answers when I have questions. :)

ty !

Try the CAA1 Mod

Its for most of the old ArmA 1 levels which can be pretty fun if you like editing or playing custom made missions.

There is also the ACE mode which i cant really explain because i havent played it...

There is tons of Aussie mods from what ive seen but :D.

[Gu^n3r]

dont bother, the CAA1 mod is huge, i downloaded and never played it again/

Sounds mod like "sounds of war" are good for increasing the general gameplay and you can usually play with it on most servers.

Unit wise, there are alot out there, just depends on whats your fancy.

little birds, sasr, era 85 units, black hawks with fast ropes :O

This and the Ace mod means I going to have to buy ARMA 2 finally

[jamtheman_m]

Rhodesy - what map/island is that? looks far more interesting than miles of rolling green hills and non-descript forests....

[Rhodesy_77]

its avgani from arma1, can play it in arma2 with the use of CAA1 but CAA1 is like 4 - 6 gigs, since its realy just the file from arma1 in a addon lol

[McDethWivFries]

does that mean that you'd have to get arma1 to be able to use the maps or are these 'community' maps that you should be able to import?

[Chanvlan]

[Rhodesy_77]

yer shame they are SP only lol

[Bigsmokeee]

haha so they worked then.. dunno what was up with my net eems to be working fine now ? :S

[Chrisso06]

guys, even if i play in servers that gimme 30 ping i still see players jumping around.. is that the net lag or my pref ? if so what can i do ?

[pogoman]

in arma the ai will always warp, but if the players are warping it just means the server has low fps. if your playing on the gsa servers the players warp because their server boxes aren't good enough for a2

[Captain_Wolf]

The box is ok, the problem is that they are trying to run about 6 different ArmA servers off the one box. If they only ran 2 servers and each got half the box's resources it would probably run like a charm.

[Rhodesy_77]

hey those guys look familar :P, hmm yer PA... lol, since it was really just me doing it ive put alot of it on hold atm, as i was geting rather bored working on the same stuff day in day out, the landrovers are about 90% done and the MRH90 about 60%, havnt really touched the troops since my 0.6 Alpha release as since it was my first real addon alot of stuff was done wrong, and since then ive learnt a crap load and if i was to continue on them id rework about 90% of them lol, and just not up to that just yet. cam (another aussie in te BIS community (made the 1st ID troops from arma1) is currently working on some Aussie troops and they easlily surpase my work, also the AAW crew have some amazing stuff planned, so atm im leaving alot of it to the pro's lol, however i will probaly finish my landrover pack at some point in the future.

atm however im working with the PRACS (project RACS) team to do some work for them. also doing some other personal work such as some afghan village style buildings, a corn field and some other smaller things for fun/learning.

One of my old OFP clans had 'campaigns' like that was great fun.

[Gu^n3r]

once arrow head comes out and decent desert maps are out im sure that something will get organised.

[Python]

I'd be interested in doing some stuff to learn... just gotta get the editor set up and a project with some refs. I still get that random bug when i try to put ref pics on rhodesy... might have to reinstall tools AGAIN.

[icehollowpoint]

I've noticed theres quite a few great custom maps that get ignored largely by the community. I mean everyone jizzs over Panthera and Isla Duala (Isla duala is badass, just saying...) but there are some great little islands like Sborjd. Now Sborjd may not be able to stand up to the big dogs in design, but it's a good looking island with good performance and ALOT of open buildings, making for some great mission designs.

Or take for example, SIX's Aiaktalik, which immediately struck me as being able to pass for some parts of the Australian outback, or some areas of Afghanistan (needs a little more green though). Also SIX's Little green bag, small island, but looks great, good performance, mimics that scottish highlands type terrain, but with more farmlands. It's perfect for infantry skirmishes.

Also very interested in this new(er) island "Celle", while the creator does say it's mostly suited for steal beasts/ass, due to flatness of the terrain, there's a good amount of foliage and just enough strategic cover that it looks great for some combined arms missions - without the abysmal performance of most parts of Chernarus.

Just some food for thought, don't be afraid to try out an island just because it's not the hot topic and isn't sporting a 500mb download.

[Rhodesy_77]

very true, also some very very interesting maps on the way, theres a new afghanistan green zone map in the making which im thinking of making statics for which looks really nice, also theres a few guys messing around with a 40k x 40k falklands island which looks awesome. plus a few others im interested in.

Ace + whats needed to run ace (acex, cba so on)
the new TF64 Seals (best units released to date. imho)

and really thats it, theres some smaller ones but they are not set in stone yet.

no chalk 2 dosnt get shot down lol, just had to make them wait or the silly AI diside to have a "air hug" while trying to land... dosnt end well....

and NOPE not sp, cant stand sp... so lonely... ooh so lonely :P coop 1 - 14 player. may boost player numbers if theres interest. 2 4 player chalks that come in the mh-6's and then a 6 person seal team already on the ground (had been in the area of operations for a week or so already, you link up to these guys after landing.

there are 3 main obj's. take out AAA so you can call ikn air support for another obj, secure a largish insurgent camp (this is where the air support comes in) and then finaly take out a HVT (high value target) that is a known insurgent leader, who is currently "hiding" in a small abandoned mill.

anyway will need a server for this once done (hint hint :P) and also a bit of testing.

anyway should be a bit of fuin anyway, was more to get me back into mission making than anything lol.

Ice, if you're serious about this comment, some of the old ORC/OCRD guys are still playing together.

Williepete is moving house atm, but Delta, Floydii and myself as still making missions and playing weekly. I have created a whole set of scripts and a template under creoBellum (http://creoBellum.org), which you would see in my two main missions Golden Retriever and Crystal Breach re-released in the next week or two (once I wipe out this memory leak).

I've learnt I need to make smaller missions rather than huge mofo ones.

So its all there, components built, ready to go, just needs some more mission makers to make a campaign.

[Rhodesy_77]

hey hey dont forget about me! :P im starting to get back into mission making again, would be glad to help out where needed. thats if we get this going.

and i STILL get 15 fps!

[captncrunch240]

ahh lol guess you win i can run it a little faster and higher res but everything on low

[VapoMan]

Im sure you can get a decent framerate on these settings

YouTube- ArmA 2 - Super Low Resolution 152x114 (Stick it on your mobile :P)

AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHH AHAHAHAH


LMFAO

ill get some good headshots with those settings?

[DarkMellie]

I got confused with ArmA when I started attending Community nights with NZArmA. The Yoma Add-On Sync confused things to the point where sometimes the game won't even start.


Still, love playing it every now and then. I only found out this week that the main storyline (singleplayer) can be done in Co-Op! If anyone wants to hit that up, let me know, love those missions.

And yay for Arrowhead out soon.


Here's a short trip I made a long time ago... I think that's even Poncho piloting the chopper!

So let yo desktops represent us yo!

Unless you use widescreen I wasn't that bored haha

[0.CHUGGA.CHUGGA.0]

arma2 works well with my new rig :D

everything on max, 10,000 view dist or whatever, around 20-30 fps... but i droped down the view dist to half to compensate for slight glitchy ness--

only problem is the new card not working to well with FSX (20fps on my old settings, should be getting like 1000!)

[Rhodesy_77]

whats ya specs mate? 10k view distance with everything max and 20 - 30 fps is pretty impressive.

[0.CHUGGA.CHUGGA.0]

umm, ATI HD 5870, 12gb DDR3 1600mhz ram, intel i7 960 (3.2ghz) and a gigabyte X58 ICHOR or somthing mobo.


Yeh not too shabby :D

i guess

ok-

on cherunus ( the non island map, stock arma 2)

textures and mesh.. etc MAXED,

view dist 10k,

AA MAX, AAF MAX,

POSTPROCCESS (DISABLED)

RES (windowed on my desktop) 1465x1040

So all max except res and post procces,

and i get around 10-15 FPS, flying high in a UH-Y

(no AI so..)

ill be dropping some things down i tink


Oh, and this is without moding the .ini or .cfg or any other optimization

[Rhodesy_77]

zomg you bas*ard lol.... thats a beast of a rig mate nice, also epic work there sabre, would kill for a 1920 x 1080 version :D.....:P

also those AAW units seriously are the best ive seen for arma2/1 EVER, just the shear detail on them is insane, cant wait to get my hands on em. seeing those units makes me think of the shear awesomeness of those ASLAVs you guys been working on for a few years :D sure to raise the standards once more.

Haha yeha you can make your own now mate :)

Thanks for the kind comments mate, seems as though for now the extra effort to do new models etc. from scratch is paying off. Hope everyone gets some enjoyment out of them.

Yeah the ASLAV's have been around for awhile, although they have been on hold a couple of times for long periods of time hah, although someone recently started plodding away on them again and X has been finishing of bits and peices of model. So they are on the way again.

Ok on all this ARMA stuff i got it but my graphics cards poo....say if i had hrrrm $400 to spend...well put on my account at work ;) what do u guys suggest to be able to play this nicely..like real nicly. any1

[Chrisso06]

grahics card is the least of your issues when it comes to this game coz it can be played such a variety of resolutions and setups, however its more CPU Intensive, so what CPU and so on are you running before we can say 400 will get ya outta the perverbial

[Kushluk]

@Devilz
Wait for 5870 to reach your price range imo. I run it maxed without AA with a 4870 quite happily never dipping below 20fps, however it is the GFX that is bottlenecking me.

@Sabre
Do you play at 1280 x 1024? Because your screen captures always look amazing but seem to be at a low end 4:3 resolution.

[DevilzOwn]

oh..not at home atm...Boss not at work....so what else am i gunna do ;)
Well E7500 sound right for my cpu

If u think i need a new CPU let me know. but those I7 1's are expensive

oh and cheers for the fast reply ;) uber leet tech support here

[sabre19]

@Kushluk - Yeh it's a 1280 x 1024 with 200% 3d Resolution, the settings I take screens on definately isn't playable for me on this machine though haha.

I really need a PC upgrade aswell.

Hey Chrisso-

my friend absoulutely LOVES AAW- and was wondering if it were possible to get another version of AAW as a replacement mod for the future- so basically no more USMC. I think. Just an idea, but otherwise he thinks its great.

keep up the good work!!

AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!

[Chrisso06]

good work me ? i had nothing to do with it mate.. lol !!! i dont know what the future holds for the units mate but they are nice to use..

[0.CHUGGA.CHUGGA.0]

Oh? i thought you did? did anyone on the forums have anything to do with it? i thought i saw Sabres name come up/

sorry- my mis-reading.

[sabre19]

Yeah mate, I do textures. Maybe once we finish more of our projects a replacement might come up.

Although if you just want to do it with the infantry and weapons i'm pretty sure that would be possible, there's quite a few people that do them up over at the biforums, maybe try putting a request in over there.

I think most of the actual team members are abit busy, and I'm not the man for it as config's hurt my head, but you can also bring it up at ausarma where we have our forums and see how you go.

Shemagh's are most likely going to go altogether, these are currently just for pers use and I decided to not fade out/'wear' the multicam too much to keep some effectiveness in the green maps, similar to tf seals and sjb sas.

What about adding them in with the removable helmets? Be a nice little extra
