Thought i'd leave this here in case anyone has missed it so far:

JSRS DragonFyre

Melbo ive tried to download your modpack for the last 3 nights but the download keeps failing (trying the PWS route tonight). Chances are its probably my crappy internet but thought I'd give you a heads up

Cheers for the heads up, now downloading myself to try it.

Having some horrendous problems with the dedi server. Keep getting this error then the server just bombs

Code:

20:23:14 Server error: Player without identity Melbo (id 1549083631)

I thought it was something in the modpack that was causing it to throw a fit so I tried running the dedi server vanilla and it still throws up the same error. Can find lots of people having the problem but no definitive answers :confused:

generally weekend evenings best due to being multi national, we're half US half EU basically though we're US themed and based.

Dig through forums for info on stuff, feel free to ask dumb questions, particularly about custom keys, medic ****, setting up mods.

The modpack gets regular updates, particularly after an ArmA3 patch like the recent one that borked a lot of sound mods.

Having problems logging onto your servers. Used the repository to update everything and launch the game but keep getting kicked back out with no error. I also tried joining with playwithsix but have the same problem. Any ideas?

Jsrs Dragonfyre sounds extremely promising!, can't wait for it to be able to download.

Xcept1 · 4 Aug 2014 at 22:23

Sounds like typical JSRS "Hollywood" kind of deal to me. Still, better than the vanilla sounds!

I'm away from home just now. Some servers are passworded perhaps. I'll get with you on TS and help tomorrow perhaps.

Keeno just checked the forums. We've got a broken mod somewhere. It's being worked on. I'll update yo when it's sorted.

Well chaps I've finally got round to fixing my mod/mission and I believe they are good to go. They still need some testing for tickets bleed rates and spawn locations but it's certainly in a playable shape.

The server is good to go also (thanks to ToejaMs!) so all I ask of you lot is to pick a date where we can all hop on and give it a good go!

Here's the updated download link for it:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6ZmAtz1fru8WEZHMk1kRnFzakk/edit?usp=sharing

And here's a few screenies of the current playable UK (BluFor) side.

So again, would really appreciated if we could all download and organise a date to play! Maybe Friday or Saturday evening?

MarkeR · 7 Aug 2014 at 07:45

Sunday night, 8pm?

Xcept1 · 7 Aug 2014 at 09:15

I'm off for 4 days so whenever is good for me.

Zico · 7 Aug 2014 at 23:24

Ah, am I going to need to download the full 5.6Gb then as I got the last link?

If there is a quicker way to get the changed files that I can transplant into the existing download? Would prefer not to use PlayWithSix as it's just not user friendly (or at least doesn't like me

).

Xcept1 · 7 Aug 2014 at 23:41

I changed quite a bit so I couldn't tell you which files I changed unfortunately. I'm with you on PWS, it's a good took but using it horrendous.

That Google Drive link should be pretty fast to get the latest version. Any other updates will be tiny after that.

Gimpymoo · 7 Aug 2014 at 23:47

You guys should consider setting up a BitTorrent Sync share for everyone.

Works well for clans.

Players have the files they need without needing to do anything and if needed, only updated files are downloaded, not everything.

Makes things much simpler.

No worries, will pull down the download again. Should be good within an hour.

Was thinking about it but want to see if people even play it first

Zico · 7 Aug 2014 at 23:53

At 2Gb already but I won't be testing anything until Friday evening

Use it for a small clan and works very well.

Stopped nearly all "What, I cannot play" episodes 5 minutes before go time.

MarkeR · 8 Aug 2014 at 20:27

Just a reminder about this for anyone that is interested!

Xcept1 · 8 Aug 2014 at 20:43

Just put a Event up on the Steam group. Going for tomorrow night and/or Sunday night depending on the amount of players we can get.
