[Mirage]

Patch 1.05

Before the end of February we plan to release a new patch 1.05 for all editions of ArmA that will ensure an internationally unified game environment. The patch will also improve various aspects of the game for the existing users, including:

* reworked and improved multiplayer game browser screen

* improved Voice over Net

* dedicated server platform underwent big stability and performance improvement

* ability to turn off grass in video options and grass flattened around soldiers for improved visibility.

* visually improved and smoother LOD switching

* various performance and stability optimizations

* new modern style GPS device displaying small map on top of game view in some situations for easier navigation

* support for more keyboard shortcuts to actions

* generally improved AI (including driving and combat)

* new content: Su-34 Fighter and Su-34 Bomber, TT650 and M1030 military motorcycles, AKS74PSO, KSVK, M107 and M16A4

* and more...

Ach ja, meine Fehlinvestition'06! Die muss ich doch irgendwo in einer Ecke meines Zimmers noch rumliegen haben.

Könnte man ja fast mal wieder ausprobieren, ob ich jetzt nicht gleich wieder in der ersten Tutorial-Mission fiese Bugs finde

[KobaYashi]

also meines erachtens ist es keine fehlinvestition. ist halt keiin shooter sondern eine simulation, und wenn man mal gelernt hat damit umzugehen machts bedeutend mehr spass als ein shooter.

Dem kann ich nur beipflichten. Es wird sein Potenzial, wie Operation Flashpoint, auch erst im Laufe der Zeit voll entfalten. Wenn die Editing Tools veröffentlicht werden, fängt der ganze Spaß erst an

Das war der Grund, warum ich es gekauft habe

Die Bugs, die schlimme AI, das Flugverhalten der Hubschrauber (hat nix mit Simulation zu tun), die Gräser (durch die man selber nicht sehen kann, aber die AI einen wunderbar sieht) usw. usf.

Das waren die Gründe, warum ich es nach wenigen Tagen wieder weg gelegt hab.

Und das ist der Grund, warum ich es noch nicht bei E-Bay verhökert habe

[Gast Slim_Shady]

Nunja ... ein bugfreies Game wird es wohl auch nicht mehr zukaufen geben.... aber im Fall von Arma kann ich mit den Bugs erstmal leben.... früher oder später werden gefixt...

Und da es sich bei Arma nicht um ein Mainstreamshooter handelt macht die Art und Weise wie man diverse Aufgaben (Coops) lösen kann um so spannender.

Also Arma is ein meinen Augen immernoch das geilste Spiel was es im mom auf dem Markt in dieser Richtung gibt....

P.S. ick spiele Arma übrigens nur Online, vondaher hab ich keine Ahnung was Offline alles für Bugs noch versteckt sind...

Ich freu mich schon riesig auf den nächsten Patch und hoffe das Game wird noch geiler als es ohnehin schon ist.

Mfg Slim :-P

Wie ein guter Furz der stinkt auch erst richtig wenn man selbst schon 10 Meter weiter ist.

Patch 1.05 morgen?

The releasedate for the patch is currently Friday March 2nd.

Und noch ein Zitat:

"Fortunately, BIS is the kind of dev that is always open to feedback. They have introduced something in an upcoming version of ArmA (possibly in this next patch?) that is going to blow people away.

This changes the gameplay from an infantry perspective IMMENSELY. I cannot overstate how dramatic of a change this is. It makes the recoil feel much more lifelike and smooth, dramatically influences the way machineguns are handled and fired, and makes shooting while moving a distinct possibility while retaining the real-world issues inherent in it."

FDF Sound Pack for ArmA 7.3.2007 - FDFMOD Team

To celebrate the coming of spring and awakening of nature, Goeth and his orchestra have composed a sound pack replacing most weapon and environment sounds in ArmA.

FDF Sound Pack is client-side only and it does not replace any of the original files. Have fun!

DOWNLOAD, mirror #2 hosted by Ronmore, Finland.

[Gast Slim_Shady]

nunja FDF_Sound-Mod is net schlecht, allerdings finde ich den ModWarSound besser..

is halt Geschmackssache...

[Mordegar]

Ich spiel zur Zeit wieder viel ArmA und hab gemerkt, dass custom mods/faces auf vielen Servern tabu sind wegen der Geschwindigkeit beim connecten.

Wer nicht auf weniger Server zugreifen will, muss deshalb mit Orginalfiles spielen.

[Gast Slim_Shady]

stimmt fast ... :-\"

nun die custom-faces etc. werden von/zu allen clienten (spielern) auf dem server übertragen und "verstopfen" dann natürlich die Leitung.

Im Fall der vorgestellten SoundMod´s handelt es sich um modifizierte Sounddateien die nur der Spieler selber hat und auch hört... es wird nix an andere Spieler oder Server übertragen....im Klartext heisst das nur man selber hört den modifizierten Sound der Waffe, wenn andere Spieler dich schiessen hören, hören sie den Standartsound oder den Sound aus ihrem SoundMod.

z.b. im Fall unseres Standart-Coop-Server bei gdt sind custom-faces unmöglich aber customsoundmods kein problem...

Alles klar!?

Mfg Slim

[Mordegar]

Danke für die Erklärung, ich dachte das was für die Faces gilt, gilt auch fuer die anderen clientseitigen Mods.

BETA

====

This beta contains only engine update. It doesn't contain any data releated changes (like missions fixes), which may lead into strange results in gameplay as missions don't reflect any changes made in the engine.

iT should be compatible with existing last official release 1.05 in multiplayer, however using it may also lead to some unexpected results.
