Re: ARMA III

Loads of fun. Really takes me back to the old school GRAW days with fellow OSer (Granted a really hard simulation version of GRAW but still, lol).

Im also really really starting to like the sniper. I just to get better at finding the range of targets however I still nailed everything I shot at.

When we got to the town and all of us were on the cliff planning out the attack it was great. Phobia let out Grenade Launcher rounds while the rest of us Rained down hell onto the stunned leftovers (I myself took out 4 back to back before they knew what was going on. Funny seeing some of them after the grenade explosions being knocked to the ground or stumbling only to be a easy target. Afterwards when I was covering you 4 as you all moved up through the buildings was awesome.

Hopefully next time we have better luck with Helicopters. Lol.

Sad thing it was a awesome mission, if the damn heli would not take off until everyone was loaded.

Yea I checked the range, zeroed the grenade launcher to that range and started lobbing rounds towards the bigger groups. Watching them fly in every direction was awesome.

It was also cool when me, drew, jason, and paper were all stacked up at those houses, we start taking fire from the middle of the village. Then a big BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM rolls out from the top of that hill side.....as you say....."He's down!".

I'm going to research some more missions and find ones which work 100% of the time. I think the ISIS mission one is a great one for all us since it dynamically changes every time so every time we play it, it will be a new experience. Plus I like the whole, squad level unit vs large squads of infantry. Next step is figuring out how we can pilot the helicopters to easily get around.

Re: ARMA III

Re: ARMA III

I have noticed a few issues when you run the AGM mod. If the mission isn't a AGM mission (which I have no idea to check before playing), it will cause issues with placing explosives and healing. The mouse wheel is used for these tasks but for some reason they do not show up. After turning off AGM, the option to heal and/or place explosives return. Just an FYI in case anyone has problems. I will have to join you guys sometime. I have a few buddies that have played a few missions on LAN by using Evolve. Evolve tricks the game to think we are playing locally even though all three of us are in different cities. Works well.

Phobia - I installed one of the sounds mod (not dragonfyre, but the other you suggested ). What a difference it makes! Thanks again!

Thats not a bug, AGM uses a different interface.

Left Windows key to interact with someone
Ctrl + Left windows key to interact with yourself, such as heal or place explosives.

Which sound mod?

[Phobia]

Re: ARMA III

Which sound mod?

Most likely Speed of Sound, JSRS Dragon Fyre is better in my opinion but Speed of sound has its own flare.

Now April 8th the new ARMA 3 patch comes out which has a complete over haul of the built in retail game sounds, so I've been waiting to see how it improves. If not by very much then we will settle on a sound mod to run for us.

Also default weapon resting will be coming in the April 8th patch. So no more having to hit tab to rest weapon. Just walk up to a low wall or ground and it will do it automatically.

Well after watching this video comparing the two sound mods..personally...I think the Dragonfyre mod sounds MUCH better than the pure mod. MUCH more "alive" and dynamic to me.

Amen. I can say running a marathon and driving an ATV with broken axel is not the way to go. LOL!

Will do. It looked like the mod installed right on the main screen with the other 5, but not sure how to use it or if it is working correctly.

I'm gonna set up my Thrustmaster HOTAS today for piloting aircraft and choppers in ARMA.

Mother ****er

Remember when I said the training mission prologue was bugging out on me by not letting me heal the guy I'm supposed to. Probably because I have AGM installed.

Yea both have their place but Dragonfyre is the best out currently.

I was dying laughing and very surprised you swerved your happy *** 5 kilometers LOL.

Task Force Radio has 4 steps to it, for getting it installed right. When you download and extract it you will have a 0.9.7 folder. Drill down into it to find the necessary folders.

0.9.7/ARMA3/
1) Cut & Paste @Task_Force_Radio into your main ARMA 3 folder.
2) Cut and paste the Userconfig folder into main ARMA 3 folder and allow it to merge with original folder if one is already in place

0.9.7/Teamspeakclient/
3) In this folder you have 2 .dll files a win32 and a win64. You will cut and paste one of these into your main teamspeak plugin folder.

So find your Teamspeak folder, if its in the Pragramfilesx86/ then you use the win32 one, if its just in the programfiles/ then you use win64 version. Just make sure to put it in the teamspeak plugin folder with the other .dll.

4) Last step is just turning it on in teamspeak. Launch teamspeak, go to settings then to plugins, make sure to check the check box next to it.

Little more complicated than most mods but that is because how it integrates itself with teamspeak.
