View Full Version : [BETA] Avgani POW, testers needed.
Hello everyone.
I have been working on a mission for the past few weeks, and finally have something up. Thus, I have been searching for testers
If anyone is interested, please tell me, and I will get the mission uploaded somewhere ASAP. Same goes for screenshots.
The general idea is to rescue an officer, trapped in Avgani. The actual storyline is to be done (I know, I'm making a mission without a storyline:eek:) I'm sorry if the description's a bit...short, but it's the first time ever I actually make something worthy of would it be but a beta test.
A bit of extra info :
Information
Mission name : TBA
Mission type : Sp/co-op objective (up to 10 players ( that means I need at least 9 testers))
Island : Avgani
Release date : TBA
Required addons : A.C.E. (not islands)
Features:
-Random gameplay
-Raven's "Takebuilding" script, Kronzky's UPS and Tophe 's Random House Patrol Script
-Up to 10 players on the same team (might change)
-Open source (if anyone cares)
-Easter eggs
If you wish to help out, i wish to add that you dont need to be particularly skilled (even though we could do with a good pilot) or anything like that.
Finally (I know, I am asking for lots, aint I?), I was told by Sadist_Cain (who is responsible for me coming here in the first place (thanks BTW)) that you had an ArmA server, and was wondering if there was any chance of being able to use it for testing sessions (as I'm not sure my internet connection will hold me playing and hosting.)
Thanks for your time,
Chargat.

God reading this makes me want to play arma..... I'd be more than happy to help test but will be unable to for about a month so sadly I'm of no real help for this :(
Quick warning though, at T&T we're all rubbish without respawns!
Hello mate.
Our ARMA server is currently MIA, for some reason only the Gods are aware of :D
However, with enough shouting down TS *ahem* Praying it should be back up - it's long overdue :D
I'd be happy to dustoff my ARMA disc to help test. Got any other people about? We have about 7 of us here that play.

pissed off with arma ever since I did the sniper mission... *Go sit on top of this water tower in the middle of nowhere* errrrm... no? *Mission failed* I know a far better position where I can be in cover *mission failed* I should be relocating after 3 shots *mission failed*

haha soooo true :P Disapointed me as well. Couple that with the fact that it does not run that well on my laptop on high and it looks ugly on medium/low isnt that inspiring to keep playing this game (meaning buy the game for online gaming)
sorry for the off-topic but I just smiled reading this. Was in the same spot as Cain :P
@Wardlemjw: dunno about the server, but this mission only requires A.C.E. and OPX AVGANI 1.5
@Vilhelm: sorry you cant join :(, but by then I'll probably have another one ready fo testing.
@Sqnldr: thanks for the info about the server, and currently have no-on else (but we can easily leave 2 spaces vacant
@Sadist: Should I take that as "I'm second I/C" (I.E. the MP5 guy) ?
@All: In addition, as i want to name and set IDs to the assault team (If I work my way around it, I might just make a short camaign out of this), do you mind my using of your usernames?
Chargat.
PS: Oh, and I nearly forgot : Thanks!
Cain, Dunno if you ever played A.C.E addon - Cant remember but I agree with you on ArmA Vanilla.
ArmA = BF2, A.C.E = PR
Or perhaps ArmA = SH3, A.C.E = GWX 3.0
I'd be up for playing - My usual spot is laying down lots of long-range support fire as Medium Machinegunner with a scoped M240.
Epooooooch :notworthy:
You fixed our Arma server yet! :yay2:
Yeah well up for a bit of Arma, been ages since i've played.
Time is a bit tough atm, but if i'm able, i'd be well up for it.
@katash: you okay with MG36?
@tommy: dont worry about time, the idea is to see when it's possible for everyone to join in.

@ Cyber you would love it mate, double promise you. Play it with a group of us at somepoint it is 2000% better with other people rather than AI teammates.

I agree with you. I guess I just have to get a firewire cable to connect my USB-Harddisk to my computer and try it again. Maybe medium settings would be ok than. Too bad ARMA 2 is already here and that will be unplayable for me if this is so hard to run :salute:
/sorry chargat :P
NOTICE:
First post updated with current "team" and unit types, please choose your GENERAL one (the one you would normally use) so that you can play as you prefer.
Please do not choose the UH-60 crew as default unless
-you're a good pilot
-the team is large enough to cover the majority of the other roles
I'll get the server working tomorrow if I get time.
Thank you very much Epoch. Just out of curiosity: are any of the current "test team" admins on the ArmA server (just in case we need to restart the map or something like that)
Thanks again,
Chargat
A few of them have the admin login - whether they can remember how to use it is another thing ...
Anyway - if I get the server working, I'll be playing.
OK, great to have you too (if I didn't misinterpret). Any role preference?
If i'm gonna play Arma i'll need epoch, masaq & gunny with me, you gotta have a good meat shield for this game. Sign em all up. :)
Where is Gunny anyway?.. Gunny?

lol i played that mission with ACE mod. sitting on the water tower failed completely. tried taking cover behind some rocks and it worked
OK, as there have been no replies for a few days, I guess that all those interested have posted here. Thus, I was thinking of setting a date for the first BETA test. so, please post when you can, and I will try to come up with some time that fits everyone in.
Sorry chap. I was hoping to sort the server out but I simply haven't found the time. Real life and all that.
no problem : I wont be ready before next weekend anyway.
I'm trying to get the ArmA server working now. Fingers crossed.
well, still not showing up on status page :( (dunno if it means anything though).

Posting is not going to make it happen faster =P
Takes time to set it up and get all the required addons.
^^^^ Doom speaks the truth
The ArmA server is now fixed.
Important: It is running ArmA patch 1.16 beta
Also: Queens Gambit,ACE 1.07, and whatever other addons/maps are required.
Quick warning though, at T&T we're all rubbish without respawns!
What Will really means is.. wont play without respawns!
I'll get the map on the server..how about Thursday evening for a game of Arma?
I dont mind adding respawns, problem is I need a good script (would rather have revive). So if you have any suggestions, go ahead!
Thursday seems fine to me, but most important is start time.
I have a respawn script somewhere.. i'll dig it up.
Revives & respawns would be ideal.
No one wants to get killed within 5mins and then sit around like a dick while the others have their fun.
correct one...
www.tacteam.org/madtommy/weapons_respawn.sqs
Spawn with same gear as you died with.
A1 = unit name.
["A1",1] exec "weapons_respawn.sqs"
ok, thanks tommy. Looks like a good script, and will integrate it ASAP (new link will be up tomorrow). Only problem is I have no idea what it will think of ace's backpack...
it'll work fine... did with ACE 1.04 anyway.
Thursday sounds good. Don't break the server Tommy .....

Whenever this is done count myself and Sarge in as we have both reinstalled.
OK, First beta test planned for tonight, 18:00 current UK time (GMT/UTC +1). It will take place as long as we have at least 5 testers. If you plan on taking part, please PM me. Download link page 4.
PS: could an admin please force edit my first post and update the link? (edit option dissapeared).
Id like to lend a hand, but I wont be able to, 6pm is too early for me I'm afraid
6 is a tad early, but I'll get on as soon as I can. PMd
@wardlem : whats the earliest you can make it? (JIP is supported, and so is respawn, so you can probably fit in). Reason for it being so early is that it makes it 19:00 for me, and due to a recent lack of sleep (been having too much fun with you guys at late...) I'll not have too long.
@all : on sufficient request, it can still be pushed back a little.
PS: I will be watching this thread quite a lot, so expect fast responses to questions.
There is no need to download the mission unless you plan to host it. It downloads from the server automatically when you join, having it locally makes no difference.
I'll be up for it, but as already said 6pm is too early for me too. 8 - 9 pm is better. Need to cook & eat..But don't wait.. i'll join when i can.
If we have 5 or not, i'm sure were still up for a game tonight, shame Katash can't make it.. but getting a night when we can all make it, is likely to be bloody hard.

Can we push the time back a little? I have to check that my version works....
ok, how 'bout 19:00?
And the reason for the download is I'm not sure the client dls the scripts too, though I might be wrong.
And there are enough of us for sure.
note:I will be on your TS server from 18:40 on.
And the reason for the download is I'm not sure the client dls the scripts too, though I might be wrong.
The scripts are inside the pbo file, (or should be, as it wont work without them). So yeah you're mistaken, clients don't need t download it.

If you need another i could get on
but my Arma is horribly out of date at the moment and will involve lots of downlaoding patches etc.
I listed the main patchs & mods you'll need Doom.. if you look at the Arma Addons thread.. new links in there..

14-05-09, 14:17
All i need is latest ACE 1.07, Ace islands, Patch 1.16 and Afgan/avgani village?
Think so.. the villages are new as well so update those.
1.16 patch & ACE are essential.. Ace islands & Afgan/avgani are required depending upon the mission.. but i'd get them.
There will be more i'm sure you'll need... but it all depends upon the mission played.. but that goes for all of us.. i'd get the big ones.. and the smaller ones can be got as and if needed.

I know tommy i was refering just for this mission thanks.
all you need for this is ACE 1.07, patch 1.16 and avgani 1.5

Right i think i have it properly updated now.
i might get on, but I wont get home until at least 6.30 and I think the missus would have a fit if I ran straight upstairs to play Arma whilst she cooked the dinner........
again, JIP should work, meaning that as long as there are a few of as at start, others can join in later.

I think you need to have a word with her. Realign expectations :p
