I will assure you that my son will not be on STEAM on Tuesday so I will be available to host the server. 3 meg up 30 meg down. Im good for 14 players. As long as the wife aint on FaceFook.

by **capitan** Fri 10 Jun - 20:02:59

Yea I'll be there, swweeeeeet

by Borklund Fri 10 Jun - 21:20:54

I'll try to be there. ArmA is the dog's bollocks.

by **Vincent** Sat 11 Jun - 7:49:20

ill try to come

by JToTheDog Sun 12 Jun - 23:51:56

I just uninstalled Arma... My laptop is most definitely not the s**t so it lags. But if you guys are using Acre and all that cool stuff I might be bothered to install it all again.

by Snippers Mon 13 Jun - 8:44:39

Yes we will be pretty much using the addons from here: https://nwa-clan.darkbb.com/t3207-arma-2-installation-download-guide-for-commonly-used-addons

by **CommandoXVI** Mon 13 Jun - 10:22:49

Does ArmA 2 have in game VOIP? Or do you guys tend to use teamspeak to play? Whats the online multiplayer like without being in a clan? Do many people actually use teamspeak?

by **capitan** Mon 13 Jun - 11:11:48

It does have ingame VOIP but we use an addon/mod called ACRE which replicates a positional audio and radio system using TS3, essentially just like mumble but better.

Online multi is generally rubbish (imo) unless you play at UnitedOperations or with us (hence the organised ArmA night). For such a realistic game there is a surprisingly low amount of teamwork on public servers.

by **deadly22sniper** Mon 13 Jun - 12:31:18

Let's do a whole insurgency map! That would be epic with lotsa people.

by JToTheDog Mon 13 Jun - 12:44:39

I decided to get ArmA up and running since I've got the day off.
I hope you guys don't mind me hoping in for some fun (if I get it running)

Thx for the guide snippers.

by **deadly22sniper** Mon 13 Jun - 12:55:01

Feel free to join in. Just make sure you've got all the required mods Razz

by JToTheDog Mon 13 Jun - 13:28:10

Cheers. Yeah I'll try to set it up. Are you using exactly the same config as UO?

Edit: I don't have ts3 permission to join ArmaII channel.

by **deadly22sniper** Mon 13 Jun - 16:27:28

Yeah, use the UO Six Updater repository.

The ArmAII channel has the same permissions as any other.

by **Orford** Mon 13 Jun - 21:35:56

Please post the spec you want me to run the server. I may not be able to play till later on but will have the server up as soon as i get home from work.

Post the

Map
Armour
Heli
AI level.

and any other setting you want. If you have a debate about it then please edit the first post after this on. I will go with the first post settings. Or PM me with the settings you want and the names of the people who have agreed to those settings. which ever is easyest.

by Borklund Tue 14 Jun - 9:03:10

Can't come, bah. Some other time though!

by Snippers Tue 14 Jun - 9:08:05

Presumably we'll go with:
Zargabad Insurgency (map)
can't remmber the name of it(heli)
Humvees and jackals
AI level what ever we had before?

I will be cas whore! OK? peace

by **capitan** Tue 14 Jun - 9:46:03

Sounds good to me, I won't make it for 6, but expect me soon after. wicked, looking forward to this, hopefully we get a good turnout

by JToTheDog Tue 14 Jun - 11:13:32

I haven't got ACRE set up yet as the UO link seems to be down. Ill stick close to my fire team, and hopefully I won't need the radios (in case I dont find a link or get it working)

by **capitan** Tue 14 Jun - 11:21:39

ACRE GUIDE! - working DL links

follow this for the latest release of ACRE. You will need to install that version of TS3 (rc1), as I got errors with rc2 (maybe just me)

by JToTheDog Tue 14 Jun - 11:39:15

Thanks capitan but that's the one I used. The 32bit version link of Acre seems to be dead.
The 64 one is working, but I'm guessing it wont run on my 32 bit system?

Edit: A side note for all of yous who I'll be playing with. I'm running Arma on the very lowest graphics, I might not be the most reliable team mate due to lags and other stuff.

by **capitan** Tue 14 Jun - 12:03:32

Oh my bad, thought they were all working. Grab the manual install and copy the folder/file structure from there. I think if you just use SixUpdater it will update the ACRE files to the current version (?).. you may need to copy the 32bit TS3 plugin .dll file over though. Or you can just copy it all over yourself, shouldn't be too hard

and don't worry about that, I'm pretty terrible at ArmA, haven't played for ages and can't remember the buttons.

by **deadly22sniper** Tue 14 Jun - 15:28:35

As Snipps says:

Zargabad
CO33_Insurgency_0.75_ACE_ACRE_v94Final

Expert difficulty
2 players to clear a square (Teamwork people!)
Default AI accuracy of 0.3 is probably fine.

AH-6J helicopter
50cal HMMWV
40mm GL jackel (this at least has a GMPG if the GL isn't the best weapon for a particular target)
ATV

Lastly, have the game time and date set as close to the actual time and date.

by **P-koustrup** Tue 14 Jun - 18:58:43

updateing.. will try to get ready.

by zygizz Tue 14 Jun - 22:51:45

Arma 2 Night (Tuesday 14th?) 211308_chuck_norris_approved

What was good fun. We should do more in a future

by **capitan** Tue 14 Jun - 23:30:15

Looked cooler in motion, flinging shell casings in Kaspers face

CAS

Jackals

Final score

Great fun, should def try to this every couple of weeks. Maybe some missions, or a big dynamic mission that isn't insurgency?

Got some video, not sure if any of it is good as you'd have to watch me play noob

. Converting it now, will prob edit most out and stick up on youtube later in the week.

by **Vincent** Wed 15 Jun - 6:22:07

damn my computer froze had to clean the whole thing inside, sorry I coulnt get back in

by **deadly22sniper** Wed 15 Jun - 13:29:03

That's a shame. There'll be other sessions though, I'm sure.

by **P-koustrup** Thu 16 Jun - 5:44:42

Great fun, first time i tried playing Arma in the night... the cas rounds looked so AWESOME

but the ins map, did get a bit boring at the end.

by zygizz Thu 16 Jun - 7:16:12

I think we should make another arma 2 night in weekend. More people, more fun! And without mod WarFX you missed good show from CAS lol....

by Snippers Thu 16 Jun - 8:14:06

I think next time we should do more missions, and do insurgency once we have a lot more players!

by DodgeThis_NL Thu 16 Jun - 9:28:41

Ill join next time, if everything is allright i should have my new pc by then!

by **capitan** Thu 16 Jun - 9:33:40

Yea, more missions, insurgency when we can get a couple full squads up, and NO CAS!!!! as awesome as it looks, i think more people on the ground is better.

There was a couple of dynamic missions that we did a while back weren't there? They'd be really good with the increased players we have now

by JToTheDog Thu 16 Jun - 11:44:25

Actually, as Zyg said. A no-mod session might bring more ppl. No need for SIX or other stuff. Just get updated and play.

by **capitan** Thu 16 Jun - 12:34:55

Orange was talking about some particle effects mod he was using. ArmA2 without mods is kinda terrible? Some missions have revive, some dont, etc etc. ACE does complicate stuff considerably, but also improves a huge part of the game. ACRE is also far far superior to ingame voip

by **deadly22sniper** Thu 16 Jun - 16:05:41

I think the main problem was so many people having connection problems; made it hard to keep everyone together. Would have been better if we'd been on Orford's comp.

by **capitan** Thu 16 Jun - 16:21:56

Take that snips! Wink

Although i do agree, its horrible to watch your comrades collapse and sink into the sand

by Snippers Thu 16 Jun - 17:59:30

Well to be fair, a lot of those problems also occurred with peoples teamspeak connections and had a lot more to do with their end than mine, I believe even if Orford hosted they would have still been connected, it probably would be a smoother if Orford hosted, but Xazpers ISP was playing up on him.

by **capitan** Fri 17 Jun - 11:31:15

Anyone fancy a few missions this saturday or sunday? Got another free weekend and would like to get some ArmA in there somewhere.

by **Xazper** Fri 17 Jun - 12:26:21

If I'm not visiting my parent I'm up for it.

by **capitan** Mon 20 Jun - 11:52:15

Stupid (yet awesome) APB took up all the weekend. What do you guys think about a regular ArmA night? Every other Tuesday or something fortnightly? I guess this depends on the availability of the guys that can properly host a server with 7+ people

by **deadly22sniper** Mon 20 Jun - 12:34:36

How about EVERY Tuesday!

by zygizz Mon 20 Jun - 13:18:55

how about UK|SSG guys? I talked with ROB he may join... so about 16-18 guys should be fun

by **Orford** Tue 21 Jun - 9:23:44

Im on 1pm-9pm shifts this week so cannot host. sorry lads.
