Hello there I think we all ought to be a little less spikey and grumpy towards OP (and others) , but yes, OP please use the search tool. I *like* the idea of remote cameras, especially with the new "picture in picture" feature available in A3. But, although available the equipment does feel a little out of place for dayz. Perhaps one could scavange parts from shop CCTV etc. (not a perfect example). A nice idea, needs a little more thought. Rgds LoK

mememmemememmeme me me me me me me me me! Oh, wait. Now I've read the bit in brackets... Um....er.....I'll be on my way then..... Rgds LoK

Hello there Check the Bis forums or armaholic to track down the original A2 mods that many have included in their work. Rgds LoK

I'll never allow it.

anywhere, anytime. I can *nom* to the max.

Hello there One needs a mod like @ANZINS to make many Vanilla A2 weapons use both the CQB sights as well as optics. OA weapons have this but many of the originals do not. Many acogs etc. Rgds LoK

Hello there The chances Dean (let alone any dev or mod) will take the time to "duel" you are very small. If you were a heavy contributor to the game.forums then perhaps you'd get your chance. Why not try being a constructive member of the community first? Rgds LoK

Hello there I think anyone who sees BI as money grabbers has a slightly skewed world view IMHO. Obviously money *is* a factor, how could it not be? But if you look at BI and their history with regard to the RV engine they've been sterling developers. Perhaps not perfect but far better than much larger organisations. I wasnt overly impressed with their last Arma DLC for example, so I simply didnt invest in it. I dont think it shows them to be a greedy corporate ummm.......corporation. As to the A3 community alpha, I think its a great way to get the community involved and excited, make a few bucks with the early orders (remember you dont have to buy it if you want a finalised experience) and have a large core of willing testers. I dont see an issue here. If they charged full price for the alpha or made us purchase the full game at a later date (like other companies I could mention) after buying into the alpha I would be furious. I agree that the A2 campaign was and is buggy, but its hard to iron out every single issue when one uses such a dynamic simulation. There are just far too many variables. I have hardly touched the campaigns since the epic OFP Resistance. If we were stuck with the campaign I too would have left Arma long ago, but its the wealth of missions that keeps me going. Once .kju has the AIA mod finalised you'll have to tear me away fom A3alpha. Anyhoo, I digress. Gummy, whilst (believe it or not) I'm not a rabid Rocket Fanboi or a BI employee just an ordinary player, I just cannot understand your suspicions, your'e entitled to them but I just dont share them. I feel there's something you are not sharing or something we collectively are missing when it comes to your posts. There are issues with the game/SA I personally dislike but I let those go as I like the other 90pc, I suppose it's the same with BI. But again, I don't see your angle. Rgds LoK

I have to say if they used just the A3 movement, I for one would be a happy man. The A2 anims are/were a major turn off to many players. At the launch of alpha I don't believe vehicles will be in, much like fixed wing aircraft are not in A3. I have no doubt they will be and it will be an improvement on a2. Will it be a massive shift/improvement? I think probably not, but I'm still glad I have the full alpha at this price, I think the SA will be the same. L

ooops, when i said PM i meant PM Twitter them. I'm all up for constructive criticism in a frank, open and honest way. Im guessing you think that the SA will rip folk off in some way? L

@gummy Why not PM a dev? They may not reply, but if they do then you'll have your answers. I fail to understand what you want from us. We can only go on the info we are given and trust the devs to be honest with us. They've been honest so far why would they change? Something seems to have irritated you, I just cannot see what it is. Try letting us know your issue in plain "salt of the earth" non programmy terms, use analogies and then perhaps we as a whole will understand the point you are trying to get across. Rgds LoK

You should be able to click and launch right in DC. Try youtube for guides to DAYZ Commander.. BUT REMEMBER! only download software for dayz etc from reputable sources dont be tempted to use a youtube link without doing your research. L

Hello there Don't hold your breath for the SA. It'll be great but wont be out in a few weeks/months IMHO. Plus with the Arma 3 forwardporting of A2/OA assets I think there's interesting things afoot. Regardless A22/OA are spiffing games. Rgds LoK

Hello there I use steam and commander with no issues. @OP have you run the games by themselves yet? you need to run both Arma2 and Arma OA at least once to finalise their setup. Rgds LoK

Hello there OP, It would help if you put a small paragraph or two actually telling us what this is and why we should see it. Especially in a dayz area. Otherwise it's a little redundant. I feel a *nom* coming on. I've not had enough cake today. Rdgs LoK

Hello there There are only two reasons for this. The first is that you have had your CD key compromised through downloading a trojan which has stolen your cd key and the second because you have cheated. Either way we cannot assist you as we don't issue or have any control over bans. Read the stickies and visit battleye.com for more info. Rgds LoK

Where's the next dev blog? It's been minutes since the last one? Surely Rocket's finished his climb by now, it's almost tea time. A nice long hard blog. Good stuff. I'll be interested to see the external art cell's work *jealous* I think it would have been very very easy for R not to have bothered with a blog from close to base camp as even simple things are tough to do at that altitude (albeit good press), so I hope some of the naysayers are hushed for a little time. Patience is key. Rgds LoK

Matt Lightfoot says: - At the moment I am following up from meetings at PAX/GDC, keeping Dean updated with development progress, keeping external artists tasked, Ivan Buchta (The Lord Mayor of Chernarus) is helping me a large amount on the design side while Dean is away. - Our Programmers are still working on the client/server architecture, radios/VOIP and solving several bugs. - In house art cell are working on path lods in buildings to improve zombies movement in buildings and texture passes on assests. - External art cell, working on a couple of weapons, some more clothing items and some items. - Our animation cell, are working through a backlog of animations we want to do. - SenChi with the help of Ivan are going through existing towns now and making improvements through changing layouts slightly and such. I'm sorry for the lack of communication, I've just been exceptionally busy. В общем, у меня не очень много времени для создания полноценного поста в блог, но я могу немного вкратце кое-что рассказать: В данный момент я занимаюсь подведением итогов с выставок PAX и GDC, сообщаю Дину о прогрессе разработки, раздаю задания внештатным дизайнерам, а Иван Бухта (Повелитель Чернаруси) помогает мне очень много по дизайну карты пока нет Дина. Наши программисты все еще работают над клиент\серверной архитектурой, радиосвязью и VOIP и фиксят некоторые баги. Ведется разработка лодов путей в зданиях для улучшения перемещений зомби в интерьерах и текстур интерьеров. Идет работа над несколькими видами оружия, парочкой предметов одежды и других предметов. Работа над анимацией идет по плану. SenCHi и Иван шерстят все населенные пункты и улучшают их, оптимизируют расстановку зданий и т.п. Прошу прощения за нашу молчаливость, но мы были исключительно заняты в последнее время. This is cut and pasted from Matt Lightfoot's original post with the Russian Translation by -=PA=-Mikhail

right o'. Locking this in anticipation of the next blog thread. L

I highly doubt that interests him all that much.

OP let us know if this fixes your issue so others may benefit from this post. L

Did you confirm your paths are correct in DC?

One assumes you have deinstalled a2free (not necessary, but can be helpful) AND one has the correct paths to your new A2 install set in dayz commander's settings? L

Hello there You can re-install battleye through steam, this often helps. I'm away from my pc, but I'll post on it later if you don't manage it yourself through right clicking on a2 etc etc in steam. I would install and play the mod through Dayz commander, just ensure you're on the same version as the server, which is NOT necessarily the newest version. It's dependent on the server in question.
