    The Importance of CHKilroy

    Was wondering what the MOD was about when I reinstalled ARMA 3-4 weeks ago to play some good ol' Domination. All servers on the multiplayer screen only had 5-10 people on then, apart from the 5 DayZ servers that were completely full :huh: Went to this page to check it out and now I'm totally addicted *woohoo* A big cudos to CHKilroy, he's videos are very entertaining. And Dslyecxi's videos are filled with educational stuff and extreme piloting. (I hope Eby is doing well mate) I can honestly say I've watched everything they've posted about ARMA on Youtube.
  2. Confirm, I've been on the latest Beta a few days and have not been able to communicate with my pal's in game. Sooo nice to see they are still rolling out patches for this game though :heart:
  3. Stuck in a room that I can not exit. A Zed knocked me down an I ended up in a room that 'don't exist', well its there but no doorways to exit from it. hoping for any advice before I need to suicide :( Edit: I'm impatient... suicide... (bye bye GPS and what not)

    Stuck in a Room I can not exit.

    Stuck in a Room I can not exit.

    Frustration bump, not fun to play in a 3m² map :P would love a reply from a Dev before swallowing a bullet from my own gun.

    Stuck in a Room I can not exit.

    It happened again last night: This time I was disconnected from the game while on upper floor in the building, after logging back in I was caught! Now I'm stuck in the office building lower floor, in a room with no open doors. http://clip2net.com/s/1TYmM (Mailed [email protected] cause I don't want to loose my gear this time)

    Tracking and scouting.

    It sounds a little too fancy for the current engine but I defiantly like the idea. My kind of tracking usually happens aiming down the barrel of my gun, haven't really had any other reason to track players.

    Savior Skin

    More skins? Yes please.
  11. Screenshots or it didn't happen! Well... I'm just jealous :P

    Humanity -50 000, what do?

    In time you might get rid of the skin for free, depending on the developers decision on the matter. For now you have to suck it up and signal to the world your a aggressive player. 10-, 20- or 50 thousand in minus? I'd say you deserve the added challenge of player encounters. I have yet to try the Bandit skin and have no problems surviving what so ever, shot a few survivors in self defence without loosing humanity so the system is working fine for me.

    Big list of tips. Share yours.

    The chances of finding a GPS or a NVG is better/safer with looting dead Bandits than going to the NW Airfield. Don't stay too close to your friend when he lob a fraggrenade 2 meters in front, thinking it was a smokegrenade - especially when carrying the items mentioned above in your inventory (true story I'm afraid)
  14. Share your opinion on the different aid’s to the gameplay. 3rd person: I primarily use 1st person because aiming and maneuvering is more accurate. But for night ops, chillin around camp fire or tight movement among many Zed’s, 3rd person is invaluable! Personally I do enjoy having the feature enabled, it is nice to have on certain occasions. Crosshair: Is nice when going through loot on the ground and in 3rd person but meh’ I can live without it. Playernames: Discussed in other threads but in short, complete removal of player identification is unacceptable to me. In other words; I love the realism simulation ARMA platform provides, however mods/servers that removes ALL options of visual aid have a very short lifespan for me (read interest). Even though It might be a simulation, it is still a computer game on a monitor, that can not deliver anywhere near a real life environment, and senses human have to their surroundings. It’s difficult weighing between a entertaining gaming experience and a hardcore simulator.

    Rocket has gone too far

    Hehe, I was just about to say; I hope Rocket finds the end of the rainbow :)

    MERGED: Gamma & Brightness

    If the alternative is pitch black, then no thanks.

    Hunting should be more challenging

    Just thought of a movie scene I would like to share, to confirm that cows don't run from the eeh.. 'hunter': Sorry it's in danish but it's really hilarious.

    PMC Model Comparison

    I have the Reniforcements package but haven had it installed ever since it messed up another MOD for me. Never got around to figuring out why, but it apparently needs a different installation path than the OA installment, to avoid collision? Anyway, I probably should test it out if the result is better models¿

    How to Make personal map notes

    Thanks for the tip. Now we just need the map notes stik to the map itself; so if you loose it, the finder will be able to read it.

    IF you're a bandit READ

    Reward and punishment is so much greater up there, you sir know what the game is about :cool:

    My personal thoughts and a message to rocket

    A well written post Timberwolf. I completely agree. The forum (like any other gameforum) has an overwhelming amount of complaints, suggestions and mindless discussions. That is what forums have evolved into being and that is fine, there has to be a place where we can let off our steam and thoughts. Occasional you'll run into one of these post that shines through, consider that as a gratitude from all of us. We ALL appreciate what tremendous work your putting into the project Rocket! Even though opinions is running wild all over the forum - and it can be a little depressing to read - that is how a forum should be. We can't have too many back-padding love posts, we're survivors in a harsh environment after all. The challenge is to read it all and pinpoint stuff YOU think is worth your time. In the end, looking at the server population confirms how grateful we are! Despite the forums sometimes wearying content.

    Winchester rifle is wrong!

    Grounddog, your signature is so annoying I had to stop reading your post.
  23. I used to be able to see my own data but now it's blank when I search. That is probably what Sanktas is looking for too. Icecream? sure, though a six-pack would be more suitable for postal :)

    Questions about pellets and slugs

    A shame the M1014(flashlight) can't use the same ammunition as the Winchester, had to leave it in the spot I found it and continue with my chester. My pal uses pellets and I use slugs, makes it easier to divide ammo found. Pellets are really effective against Zed's, guess I just love the thought behind the slug.
