Not trying to get name calling and e-z mode life complaining from the thread. Just trying to understand the majority of reasons people don't play on 1st person only servers. Yes field of view might look smaller and people like watching their character. But in all honesty, who here plays 3rd person view so u can look around corners and over walls to kill other players easier? Yes using vehicles in 1st person is crappy at times, but I think combining 1st person only with no crosshairs is a nice combination for people to less likely get killed. And yes some of the weapons have bad iron sights when shooting at a target far off, but over all it's not a bad experience to get use to and greatly helps your game skills I believe.

Would love to have you on the server. I won't be around much the rest of the week as I am taking a family vacation to FL. I do have another admin that will be running the server tho while I am gone and I will be checking in to make sure everything goes good.

Hmm, tempting, but the heli is fun

What about flashlights? While running we can't see in front of us, will flashlights be more important in the standalone? And what about thermal and nightvision? I've seen quite a few people saying they should be removed

The pilot got disconnected while flying it and it crashed. Trust me I heard about it for 3 days straight. Kept asking if I was sure it wouldn't come back on restart.

Guess I am going back to 3DP: ON and see how it goes.

I guess you are right and that makes sense. If people can't play E-Z Mode then they won't play. As being an online gamer for 18 years now, they have changed A LOT in the recent years. I guess the more of a challenge the less a lot of people like it. 3rd person is kind of cheap IMO, because u can easily check around corners and over walls. We should have to use the environment around us, like maybe have to look at the window of the super market to see if we see someone's reflection around the corner, or if shadows was mandatory have to use them. Its just everyone has their own likes and dislikes and it seems more people love 3rd person than the people who would rather have it off. Guess I will turn 3rd person back on, leave crosshairs on, leave waypoints on and hope I get some players. I've even offered people vehicles or gear because my group I play with have been playing for months now and have collected more than enough gear. But then you get the people who love to browse the forums and are quick to yell duper or vehicle hoarder when they have no idea. Thank you all for the input.

After logging into Control Panel I click on Web Console to monitor the server.

Is there a problem you have came across with us leaving a buss at the airfield? I'm not driving that slow bitch back to camp.

We currently left a bus at the NE airfield for someone to take, it has a few supplies in it. Feel free to come join us and have some fun.

Me and my friend just tested this, shooting him in the chest with an M9SD makes him take no damage unless I shoot him 4 times in a row. If I shoot 3 times then wait a minute and shoot again he still won't take damage

I constantly lose humanity for just sitting around at our camp, so no idea what you are experiencing. I've just been sitting at camp for 3 days now just talking and watching my server and I've went from -17,000 humanity down to -13,000 now. Also we tested it by shooting a team member in the leg with an M9SD so my other team member could heal him to get the hero skin. I lost about 100 humanity every time I shot him in the leg.

Humanity is lost for injuring another player or killing them. Humanity is gained for helping another player. IE. blood bags, morphine, pain killers, ect. Over time your humanity will begin to go back toward zero. So if you have 1000 over time it will go down toward zero and if you have -1000 it will go back up toward zero until you do something else. I have not gained any humanity yet from killing a zombie.

What vehicle do you want? You can move over to our server. We are a week old with just about all the vehicles around

My tents and vehicles are not there sometimes after a restart. I usually have to preform another restart and they all appear again.

My server does this all the time. If I do a 2nd restart after the scheduled one all the tents and vehicles come back.

Can we get some new stories made up of green mountain? These are getting old, but if we make new ones I'm sure Rocket will add something to it like you all want so bad.

no they took it out

If you join a server or someone joins a server u are on that has custom sound files or custom face file it will automatically be downloaded to your computer so you will be able to see the file. You can find these files in C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\Arma 2 OA\Players Your AppData folder might be hidden so when you get to C:\Users\YourName just either unhide all hidden files or go up top to the address bar and add \AppData to it. Once u get to the folder Players, you will see a bunch of different folders with players names. Inside those folders you will find the face.jpg files they used to make their custom face and you can also find sound files that a lot of people use to mess with other players in game.

Refills for me still

Custom skins, sounds, ect are automatically downloaded to your computer whenever someone enters a server u are on with a custom skin. I found a file on my computer with like 20 different user names and different custom skins and sound files. GREAT way for someone to inject a virus into your computer.

Works like a charm Domi. RCon kept disconnecting me all the time. So far this is doing great and looks better to me. Thanks a lot for making it.

The dev team is right and wrong on this. For one they limited the RPT file so that admins couldn't abuse the radar, because quite a few admins were abusing it. Second, I know they want to be in complete control over the game and deal with the issues on their own, but as long as we are allowed to host servers for people to play on we should have little more control than we do. With the thousands of servers available, we should be able to ban who we feel is doing wrong. They can simply move to another server if they please. Which is why games like counterstrike are nice to admin on because the admin has all the power in the world to do whatever they wish.

What codec do you use? Sony Vegas has problems with certain ones. mpeg works great over here.
