Just a little update!

Put 5 choppers in, which will each spawn on one of 7 random locations around the map!

We have, 3 little birds, 1 standr huey and 1 insurgent camo huey!

Sweet sounds good! Just dial down the amount of heavy armored vehicles and we are onto a winner I think!

A few global bans handed out tonight on the server. Ck88 was one of them so I hope thats a false positive.

Can you guys do me a favour and post on this discussion I started. Trying to drum up some more interest in the server. Cheers!

Hi guys, i'm thinking about having a go on wasteland, may be a silly question what do i need to do to play? is it just a case of running arma 2 co and searching for wasteland?
many thanks

All you need is ACR lite which you can download here - http://www.arma2.com/index.php?option=com_rokdownloads&view=file&Itemid=20&id=805 or ypu can buy the full version to get the hi-res textures. Most including me just use the free Lite version.

Install that then just join the server! Join the Teamspeak channel as well, makes it so much easier/better to play.

Thought my luck was in when I spawned in front of the camo huey......then no fuel, sod!

Was an osprey flying around at one point as well.

Battleye global bans handed out?

Already on that for the armoured vehicles!

I was thinking max ten or 12!

Again, spawned randomly around the map!

Been on the server for the first time tonight and totally loved it. Took me about 3 hours to work out what the hell was going off though. Probably would have took me a lot longer if it wasn't for the 2 guys on there i met that helped me out. Gotta say though i'm probably gonna be wasting a hell of a lot of hours on that server.

10 or 12 is perfect, still makes them useful but at the same time everyone and their entire family don't have one!

^Agree, It's a step in the right direction imo.

Good to hear mate..

I am spending more time customising it than playing at the moment, glad to hear you enjoyed it.

Next update will make it even more easier to indentify friend or foe...

What we did with the osprey

Xcept1 · 22 Sep 2012 at 11:06

My ARMA has gone **** up again! Can join other servers but not Makers. Found a *possible* fix but it's from the DayZ forum so I am rather sceptical this will do anything.

Its a serverside problem with the -maxmem 2048 command. Serveradmins: remove it and all will be fine!

alter a week of trying everything. i solved it (for me and my server)! seems that some people have problems with the bigger package size. remove the -maxmem 2048 command from server start parameters and set it in the arma2.cfg back to 1400 and your server will be run fine. way less battleye client not responding kicks and the signature check timed out is completly gone.

MarkeR · 22 Sep 2012 at 11:09

Will give it a try as soon as I can mate.

Xcept1 · 22 Sep 2012 at 11:12

Thanks mate.

Marker loving the server so far, you've done a great job.

Just one thing.
As Heli's now spawn with fuel so no need to have the fuel truck for that mission, do you not think the tank mission should also spawn with fuel? We had the chance for four of them yesterday but never came across a fuel truck

Just a suggestion.

I was trying to add some balance!

This is where having a base camp really helps. The fuel truck mission is still important, so is the enemy base mission, as fuel barrels will spawn, which can be loaded onto any truck and transported to the empty vehicle!

The tank as I see it is a major piece of armament, kinda forcing you to protect it until you can get it fuelled! No point making it super easy now, is there ?

Also, helis at the mission will be zero fuelled from next release, as there will be the random 5 heli spawns with random amount of fuel in place.

Also, how would random IEDs placed along the roads sound, they can be defused and stored?

PS

Thanks Jewish.

Nice vid

Ok mate.

The way the server is set up, it doesn't allow me to change that specific config!

So I have submitted a ticket asking it to be changed or allow me to add it to the cfg file!

Will update you as soon as I hear anything!

Like Marker said, working in a team has its benefits. Most of the time BlueFor and OpFor have fuel/repair trucks. Independants tend not.
