Can we test these team?

would it be a good idea to delete all the missions of one server and put these on, that way we can test the new missions find the ones we want to keep and delete the rest then do the reverse with the other server with the missions on that already. We do need a little tidy up. Might be a good time to do it

Nice find Logik I think we can have a look but not sure I want to upload the lot as a few of them are for only 6 ppl.

The servers like to be in unison and it make uploading and making changes much easier for those that can and know how. As for clearing out I will have a think on it

It doesn't look like they have revive and I'm damned if I'm going through 40 missions and adding it. Can I suggest that people try them out, the ones you like, I'll edit, maybe.

I thought it would be cool to have some more private missions that players who prefer some close quarters battle [cqb] could enjoy,with objectives like hostage rescue/bomb defuse and teamwork elements,these missions could be used for less public nights shall we say.
As for adding revive why bother if the squad can work together as a team and the server is pass worded do we really need it, the missions of this type would be small lite and fun for lower player turn outs and good team work training not a large squad sand box/giant map /public turnout.

I like the idea of new stuff, but I'd not like to loose Revive. It's definitely a favorite.

I agree it's nice to have new missions, but.....

hostage rescue is a pita, everytime we've tried it on homegrown and loaded missions, it's been a ball ache. The triggers invariable fail and the whole thing turns shambolic. As for cqb and other bits and pieces I'm all for it. On revive, we can add it in if we find the right missions. We can't go without as exit and respawn is either crap, or the missions usually prevent it.

And I for one am not joining up at 8, taking a lucky bullet at 5 past and waiting 2 hours for everyone to finish. I don't mind adding in the revive scripts, but cherry pick the good missions first.

Agreed it will better to check some out before asking to make changes. I will have a think this weekend and get some stuff sorted for Sundays public foray. Thanks for your in put lads

NOthing to see here move along

BrotherTobious · May 22, 2011, 01:55:01 PM

Rightiho I have asked that 23 missions from the pack be uploaded, a couple of 6 the rest are 9 + I would like to hear your feedback on these, as in good, bad, delete, look in to modding etc. I will leave them up for a while and if we get no feedback we will delete them and stick the others up.

No admins, which frankly is a disgrace and totally unacceptable. Sack them all I say. Sack them all and roll them in tar and feathers. Then show the bounders a pair of fisty-cuffs and show them what for!

As to the games we tried I don't remember then names of course, which isn't going to be very hepful. First mission didn't allow enough slots and so we couldn't all get on. Should we limit maps to those with 12+ slots?
Second map didn't allow any re-spawns or revives. So should we reject any where we can't get players back into the game?

Hopefully Sulky will know what the maps were and we can decide on whether to keep them.

sulky_uk · May 22, 2011, 10:17:56 PM

as soon as ive reinstalled my arma ill let you know which ones we tried, hopefully tomorrow it will be downloaded and installed ( doing it now). Tried to run the games using the ingame vote for admin thing but we didnt get very far due to my sig time out error that i get.... looking at this now stand by for a new thread on that one

BrotherTobious · May 22, 2011, 10:34:25 PM

Well I am sorry there was not admin playing but as benny stated he was on steam for awhile.

As for the maps they were requested so we put them up so that we could try them and if any of them we liked then we could see if we could mod them to our liking.

I feel it would be completely unfair to ask those few who can make changes to edit 23 missions on ones we might not even keep. That's why they were put up and are not how we like them.

smilodon · May 23, 2011, 12:09:53 AM

I'm not sure what a mission file looks like to an admin and how much information can be checked just from the content of that file/s but clearly limited player slots and perma-death probably won't float. If we can see up front which they are IMHO we should drop them now. If not then I for one will make a point of writing down their names in future.
