Wasteland ARMA II Mos : Server Details

-Friendly Tags still not 100% accurate which is causing hostility and frustration when a team mate takes you out.

I understand its a far from easy fix, but this is my biggest gripe with the mission at the mo. People seem to take the tags for granted and don't apply any common sense to it - it boils down to:

'no tag!!! shoot him!!!!!', not

'oh, that guy standing in the middle of a group from our team doesn't have a tag, but he's not acting the slightest bit hostile, perhaps the markers have bugged again'

I will admit I have been guilty of this on occasion as well, but if I'm made aware that my mark isn't showing, I try to give position reports, but I still end up getting friendlied. Quite an amusing one happened the other day, we'd set up in polana factory and coming under attack:

me: "right guys I've just reached the top floor of the factory, I might not have a dot, would appreciate it if you didn't shoot..."

*5 secs later*

person: "****, enemies in base on top of the factory"

Sari was killed by person (friendly fire)

me: "Now what did I LITERALLY just say?"

person: "sorry, you had no dot"

That was probably one of my tamer encounters, there was another one where I made it blatantly clear of my position to no avail but that story involves too much swearing by me to put on here ;)

edit: forgot the ultimatum - either fix it (i know, not easy), so the problem goes away or remove it, so at least people will think more before shooting

Yeah, the tag issue basically kills the game for me. I wouldn't mind if it were infrequent, but it happens all the time.

The worst one for me was yesterday, I was driving in a convoy with two other SUVs, and got shot by some 12 year old. Like, seriously? Did he think I was just driving directly in front of an enemy who also happened to be in an SUV? :mad:
 
I'll have a look at the tag script tonight as well guys.. I have a feeling it is something to do with how long it takes you to spawn.

Melbo, if you can have a look before me, see if the script uses a time function of sorts..

I keep thinking we should maybe try this and see how it goes. I've already changed BluFor to USMC and OpFor to Russian variants so it's really not hard to work out who is who apart from when people are in vehicles.

No easy way to sort this at the minute.

One option we have is to drop the team icons completely and try to put in when you hover over a team mate their name comes up.
 
servers currently full of idiots camping at gunshops in armoured suv's killing people within 200m and in the shops because the script obviously doesn't work on firing mounted guns it's annoying how this game/mod attracts a lot of morons, think I am done for the night took me ages to find the cash only to be killed by two morons getting away with killing at a gunshop.

Just make the uniforms more contrast I say especially the colours or one team = all wear army helmets and the other not

Well I have already made BluFor use the USMC models and OpFor uses the Russian. I could change it so OpFor uses all the of MVD (helmet guys) apart from the medics and engineers as they don't have any. Could always put BluFor as British Forces.

Hopefully we will have friendly name tags very soon.

If this happens then please post the names here.
 
Had a fire fight with a guy at Gorka gas station, blew up his car with a .50 cal, this was the result :)

Thanks to whoever banned me..

This French guy blew up the tank I was in, then killed me. I returned and he was doing the same ****, firing RPGs at me, then he killed me again.

Admins did nothing, then I got banned because I was raging, sigh.
 
Thanks Marker I did, had sent you an E-Mail through ocuk trust. Not sure if that is an active account for you or not.

Irsean not sure who banned you but what I can say is retaliation is the worst thing you can do when tked. Once that happens and the tking goes back and forward it is almost impossible for an admin to see who is at fault. Will most likely result in both players being removed. Which isn't good for anyone obviously :(
 
Server crashed!

Damn, has been full since 10am as well!

Cheers mate!

Is it Sean your in game name? If it is I'll check for guid and unban!


EDIT

Ban removed!
