After experiencing multiple issues (certain looted guns not having proper sounds for non-shooting players, certain enemy types not appearing), I've decided to roll Leights OPFOR back to the previous version. People may need to roll their version back if they updated it recently. The latest version t...

K-64

I'm pretty sure it's due to the enemy's combat readiness. Basically as that percentage on the right gets higher, the more fortified enemy locations get, and the more vicious their counterattacks get. During ops last night it was up at the 80-90% level.

K-64

I grabbed about 5 crates as well, since we had dipped below 1000 ammo. Also shot down the enemy CAS plane from so close that the explosion killed Zack and heavily injured me. Serves the kebab shitlord right for trying to buzz the hill we were on.

K-64

Uhh, no idea, actually.

K-64

Also Leights OPFOR Pack and ACE have received updates. Just to let folks who haven't checked for updates know about it. And I've added you to the squad file, oranges.

K-64

I present the Taliban's premier superhero:

K-64

Alright. That's you added to the file

K-64

In Arma 3's main menu, go into Configure > Profile. Click edit then in the Squad URL, paste in https://github.com/K-64/WildHogs/blob/master/squad.xml . And then copy whatever is in Player ID and paste it in a post here so I can add that to the squad file.

K-64

I actually have no idea. I've never needed to actually use them so far, since usually people die outright rather than be unconscious due to blood loss

K-64

Since we've gotten a few ops under our belts again and seem to have a good team dynamic going we could probably discuss preferred roles and all that. I'm not meaning full milsim type shit of once a rifleman always a rifleman having to call the officers sir type of shit. I'm meaning more if a mission...

K-64

It's a pretty rad gun. The full-auto and increased mag does make it better for the closer stuff than the Noreen.

K-64

We might be able to do that the next session, considering we now have some proper artillery, plus resources to build some tanks and/or CAS. Throw a few AI squads in there and we should be able to either blitzkrieg the place, or win through sheer attrition.

K-64

I still need to learn how to properly autorotate when the anti-torque is shot to hell in that thing. If it's just the main rotor that's inoperable, I can autorotate 9 times out of 10, but when both are fucked, then all bets are off.

K-64

Well, one of my marksman loadouts does use the STANAG mags as well, but that's the one that's the squad marksman rather than the lone wolf snowflakey one, if that makes any sense

K-64

For those weapons, I don't think it's quite as important, considering we've currently only got the numbers to field one at a time at most. On that note though, Anon really should be using AI squads to help bolster our numbers for attacking the more dug-in places. Having a few dozen meatshields makes...

K-64

We should probably try and make a list of compatible guns for that, just to make things slightly easier for choosing which one.

Also Hog tank battalion is best tank battalion

K-64

Out of those choices, I'd say the CZ 805 probably. Although I've been doing rather well with the KH2002. Since it's a kebab gun, resupplying in the field isn't as much an issue either.

K-64

After I pissed off a BMP to end it, since the mission was obviously bugged from the Chinook being assblasted

You may have ushered in a new era, but I was the only one rescued from the island.

K-64

If you can throw over your Arma 3 Player ID then I can get it added. I've only got those that were added in the old Hogs file.

K-64

Okay lads, I have some very good news that I will show in picture form: http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/306614915190560188/5EF692880ABA19CAFF1E33DE8E5B6959C35F6132/ Now, we may need to change some things a bit considering the logo isn't entirely ours any more and such, but the importan...

K-64

Also for general learning how to do stuff more effectively in general gameplay (not talking about specific ACE features and all that), then this is something I'd recommend reading as it goes through pretty much every aspect of Arma 3 operations for both infantry and vehicle use. It is a bit wordy th...

K-64

About AI abusing, throw those fuckers on the gunner and commander seat of any vehicle and just drive. They can get some unreal shots off. Like shooting a moving target from 2km away inside a dense forest and getting a direct hit, because laserkebab. Then there was that one time on a mission where we...

K-64

Acquiring targets is something I still have a bit of issue with. Either I have to use thermals or use the direction from their firing to be able to figure out where they are. So basically I have to either rely on a crutch optic or hope they don't shoot me dead before I actually figure out where they...

K-64

Honestly, some of the options do look good for the whole rag-tag guerilla resistance movement that XCOM has been reduced to, but yeah, some of the stuff does go a bit too much into ball-gag territory for me to take seriously. Just means I'm not gonna use those specific items is all though. Likely go...

K-64

Honestly, having your rookies be greyshits would be better because at least someone would be robust on the get-go.

K-64

I'm still waiting for a mod that changes the top tier armour to something that makes your squad look less like a bunch of Mass Effect rejects. Although the predator armour is also a bit meh, the E.X.O. suits look pretty rad.

K-64

I'd be down for it, sure

K-64

So this is going to be a thing . Because there wasn't enough time spent snowflaking your meatbags as it is, we're now getting the ability to have an army of shitlords in sci-fi gimpsuits now. It is good to see more choice for the cobbled together, "personalised" options though. For those ...

K-64

Safety first, kids!

K-64

The specialest of snowflakes.

K-64

So I've tweaked the list a bit, with all those removals, as well as adding in Panthera since it is a fantastic island and is a relatively low size of 300MB. There's probably a few tweaks and/or removals I could still do to lower the size, but I'm not sure what would be missed or not at this stage.

K-64

Just removed a bunch of mods from it and reduced the size from 21GB to 14GB. I'm still considering removing the CUP weapons pack since a lot of those appear in RHS anyway. And the TRYK uniforms, since while there's a lot there, the quality is a bit hit and miss to be quite honest. For the modlist, I...

K-64

It could be, but the only maps I had activated were the ones that were in the PWS collection, so I don't see how they could've crept in there. Plus the fact that Zargabad is a map in Arma 2 should mean it'd be in the A3MP pack is confusing me some

K-64

I was considering adding in a map or two after the purge was complete. Things like Panthera and Fallujah. I know they're mountainous and deserty, but they really are wonderful maps. Also with the A3MP, what maps actually appear in your editor/multiplayer list? I'm only asking since that one mission ...

K-64

Well, there are a whole lot of unit packs and the like that could be removed without anybody noticing, plus JSRS is completely optional, so it can definitely be removed from the list. Depending on what everyone else thinks, I could also get rid of CUP weapons, since most of those are included with R...

K-64

I would probably vote for a pruned PWS list. I mean, I know PWS is shitty and all that, but so long as our mods are up to date and all that, once we actually get it working there's usually no problems ingame.

K-64

Well, having a look over the maps included, it seems that they aren't entirely working. A significant portion of the buildings seem to either have missing textures or are entirely missing. I'm not sure if that's because they're still being properly ported for Arma 3's enterable buildings or if the v...

K-64

The only mod folders I need to activate now are @a3gCP, @a3gMaps and @a3gMP, right? The rest can be nuked safely?

K-64

Even though it did take me fucking ages to download the map because of the youtube sounds. Still, was a surprisingly not-bad mission all things considered

K-64

So those that were clamoring for more co-op missions will probably be happy to know that I'm currently working on such. Still a bit of work to do on it, but I can say that it will be an 8-player mission centered around assassination.

K-64

You could just save him to the character pool. Odds are he'll be at least in your starting roster if not the starting squad.

K-64

Gonna try and get things rolling soon, If folks are still up for operating, then add me on Steam (https://steamcommunity.com/id/K-64/) and I can throw you the details for the TS and such

K-64

If there's a reasonable turnout, then yeah, it'll most probably be today. Generally ops usually starts around 10-11PM GMT or thereabouts, so assuming that holds true here, then 1-2 hours

K-64

For ACRE, just put the files in your ACRE plugins folder, usually C:\Users\<USER>\Documents\Arma 3\@acre2\plugin into your TS plugins folder, which if default should be C:\Program Files\TeamSpeak 3 Client\plugins Then after that it's a case of activating the plugin on Teamspeak via settings > plugin...

K-64

Once you've downloaded it, I found it worked far better to just use the Arma 3 launcher and activate the mods that way. Since PWS is extremely shitty and is a massive memory hog.

That is assuming you're trying to launch Arma via PWS.

K-64

I'll tell you what, once I finish downloading all this bullshit myself I'll look into setting up some kind of BitSync repo Yeah, that would be great. PWS is literally the worst download client I have had the misfortune of using. The only reason that I am currently using it is because there's no bet...
