Well, depends... Let's see if you still like it when shells take up to one+ minute to reach a target depending on how far away a target is

(uses ingame artillery system, doArtilleryFire)

But at least it looks awesome when they start firing (especially in cloudy weather)...
(though I have no idea yet why those AI bastards sometimes suddenly start driving around even though they have no waypoint and no nothing; removing fuel, not an option then the artillery does not fire at all, deleting the driver results in the rest of the crew leaving the vehicle, sigh).

YAB Thanks for the reply

It's already changed, if a player who carries the flag dies or leaves the server then the side mission ends as failure. Doesn't matter if he is in a vehicle or not if he dies.

Yeah, I was already thinking about a good way for adding those again. Sadly the cool object compositions from A2/OA do not exist in Alpha 3 (yeah, yet another axed feature) but let's see what I can do (but first artillery and some other things).

Cool i look forward to it.. as and when, your works always appreciated
Its disappointing that they can port across camo nets and tents and some wrecks, but have left out the warfare stuff. Would have been happy if they had actually put those over too, even if they had intentions on replacing them with newer models. Better to have placeholders than nothing at all

The camo nets in Alpha 3 are really cool. Enemy AI attacks friendly camo nets, it seems they are a top priority target for the AI and they ignore anything else, lol (YAB).

I also miss all the Warfare buildings and objects and many other objects which were available in A2/OA, including a Farp.

It's a bit of a mashup and you have to run a script on the client that looks for the flagpole every few seconds, but it does work. Not turned ranked on yet - that's when the MASH really comes into proper use.

We have made a poor mans mash with a flag pole and a dome tent. Managed to add some functionality to the flag pole for healing.
Roll on a field hospital too, as on further checking both those medic buildings i did think healed apparently dont Very poor show on there part
As for the FARP we are using the Bobcat, which is ok as long as you dont mind driving around the island at 20kmph LOL

Cool
Though I really have no idea why there are FAKs but no Mash tents in the game and no real combat medic vehicles.

(pro tip, next time simply make a screenshot with Steam and upload it to Steam and link the Steam image here, we don't have a 100 kb limitation for images here )

BTW, you remember I asked about MHQ's falling below ground some time back? I've sussed this one, they really do fall below ground on occasion. You can provoke this behavior by airlifting an MHQ then crashing the helo with the MHQ still attached. I used the debug console to track the MHQs position and sure enough, it fell downwards underground at about 1m/sec for twenty minutes. I gave up after watching it for that long. I've written a little script to check every ten seconds if it goes below -20m in the Z and if it does, put it back up at zero Z. The MHQ is always damaged, but not destroyed (or it'd respawn).

I'm wondering if the same thing is happening with the disappearing wrecks we've mentioned more recently. I've not managed to prove it with debug console yet, but the observed behavior is the same. The vehicle hits the ground hard and the marker shows it's position but the wreck isn't there.

I've added safety checks for both issues for the next version, hopefully it'll fix the problem because I have not tried to reproduce it but just added the checks (minus height check and some other position and velocity related changes).

If I find time I'll try to finish artillery tomorrow and release that version for testing because I won't have much time in the next two weeks (women and some other obligations)

Armaholic is just fine as any other community site. Only Steam Workshop is not allowed, never, even if hell freezes over.

Maybe one day but not anytime soon. It really depends on the games MP capability. If the latter won't improve over time there is no reason to add more objects which can cause more desync and problems.

Zitat von piedebeouf

2 : and i hope Acre whit mobile antenna and also radio interference about enemies

I have not used Acre with Alpha 3 yet and have no plans to do in the near future (barely anybody I play with still plays A3 and I prefer other games too when I have time to play )
So the chance that I will put effort into Acre is quite low.

Zitat von piedebeouf

3 : and much more interractiviti with tool for maintenance

What do you mean with that?

Zitat von piedebeouf

But perso i've disppointed by bohemia only one plane no towing no boat no animation for maintenance vehicules no underground bunker ....

There's so much missing in A3 it's really sad
But the main problem is the MP part of the game which is not as good as in OA.
