It should be pretty easy to port the scripts from the zombie mod over to ArmA, I reckon.

I'm not doing it though, not until BIS fix the game proper... http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/confused_o.gif

Its not the same model, as it looks different around the fogre-grip area. I meant nothing by what I said in my previous reply (wasn&#39;t implying you were using my model), but the (now old) textures are almost identical to the ones in my pack (taken from a CS replacement model almost 3 years old now), with the green hue of the receiver etc.

[Sled88]

Well I just reworked the textures The-Pain used on his SIG... I made them a bit more green as you can see http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/tounge2.gif

Individual Mission Planning System (IMPS)


That is the new system we created for our game. After the fourth mission in the game you will be able to choose what you do next. So you can choose where you will attack, how and when you will attack next. Therefore you got a little window where you can choose the time (day or night), where (different towns or bases of the mercs) and the important thing, how you engage the enemy (with Aircrafts, Tanks, Infantry or better in a Spec-Ops-Team or alone. At the moment the system is ready for 60%. I will upload a small video next time to show how it works&#33; http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif

Infact of the 3d ironsight... ( i finished it) you can use it as a assault-rifle, too.. you can move your eye closer and zoom up to 24x and without you can see it like a red dot sight atm...

thats unrealistic, i think you should add an 4-12x zoom

[Sled88]

I will simply add the m24 scope... but the 3d ironsight remains of course... that&#39;s more realistic than a 2d optic view

[Al Simmons]

nope its not more realistic, can u use the mildots in the 3d optics? Nope. Is only the scope zoomed? Nope, everything else around is also larger? Thats not realistic my friend.

Here it is... First without zoom... Second with full zoom... It makes the game much easier with this function... Surely soem thing aren&#39;t that realistic... you metioned it... but it is more realitic that you can move your eye closer and away...
Yep is the old BIS model... As i said in my previous post...

The dirt effect looks cool, however, I think those flames are too much red. Also, nice job on changing the 3rd person view position, it looks cool. http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif

[Moricky]

3rd persion view might look cool, but it&#39;s affect gameplay. I tried it in OFP (just wanted to know if Splinter Cell shooting view could be transformed into OFP) and it was very difficult to use, especially on corners of buildings. Even in Splinter Cell it wasn&#39;t so useful (hovewer it looked cool), but this view wasn&#39;t there all the game, just when player drew weapon - but switching 3rd person views in ArmA is not possible).

BTW: I hope this project will be something more than Conspiracies. Cool look and tons of addons are not everything, good gameplay can replace all of this.

[Sled88]

This tons of addons would be history cuz we are using our own addons... But infact that this is a total conversion mod is might become very big in the dl-size... Gameplay is very important this time&#33; But if you ask me this new 3rd person view is really useful to me. Because now i can look infront of my character in 3rd person. and for edges and corners there is still the ironsight or 1st person view&#33; http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif

Holy hell. I&#39;d advise compressing it to a .CAB file using PowerArchiver or a similar tool. It&#39;ll take an age to pack, but the resulting file-size will be worth it.

[Sled88]

Do you have a link jackal? Of course I want to keep it as low as possible&#33;

[Moricky]

It would be better not to use some less important addons (it will be "cool" enough even without them, won&#39;t it?). Even CSLA or FDF were only half in size without quality loss. Think about it.

[Jackal326]

PowerArchiver can be downloaded from HERE (http://www.download.com/PowerArchiver-2007/3000-2250_4-10633657.html?tag=lst-0-1).
I really recommend it to anyone, as it combines a lot of other file-formats that you&#39;d need othe rprograms for apart from WinZIP etc into one program.

[Sled88]

Well because it is a total conversion mod useless addons are history... it replaces nearly all original pbos... except the buildings.pbo, misc.pbo, animals.pbo, LANGUAGE.pbo, rocks.pbo, signs.pbo and animation.pbo...

Just a normal Screenshot ingame by the movescript "TestROM". I think you can see all better with this move. I got a new normal map from Dirty Harry. Maybe I could use them in this case.

3 is it a total modification of the game ?

4 whats the story line gere of gameplay about ?

Thanks for understanding my obvious inability to read the script here, you seem very enthusiastic and pleased and to be honest i havent a clue what its all about.

No this time it&#39;s not about Chernobyl. It&#39;s about a Virus.

Also is it MP and SP or just MP? Lastly when can we Australians expect it?&#33;&#33;?&#33;

[Sled88]

All informations on are on the page. So a MP-Mod wouldn&#39;t have such detailed characters and story. It&#39;s mainly Singelplayer (a campaign included in the mod). But there are a few MP-Missions also. The Internetreleasedate is in the right corner. So the 1st May 2007. And if you would read the newspaper-entries on the page you even would know the story... http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/xmas_o.gif

There may is a thign I have to say to the demo... You have to bring the ca.pbo into another folder if the virus.pbo is in there... otherwise the virus-demo-campaign won&#39;t work.

I am really frustrated with this. I downloaded once and kept on getting something about config bin and women saboteur, before a crash. Then I saw on Armaholic that there were add on fixs.I tried this and same result. On BAC forum they said that you could download it again from there site with the fixed site. So 4 hours later it was downloaded and still the same problem. Is the full version on your web site the new one? Anyway , if other members think this mod is so good, I might try downloading it again. IF there is a clear link to the updated full version that does not need any fixes.

impi

[Curatalo]

does this MOD work with the Downloaded Version of ArmA? (Not the illegal)

[Sled88]

@<hidden>: You must have a clear addon folder of your arma. Only the original files are allowed in there.

The correct Download-Link is this: DOWNLOAD (http://virus-mod.armaholic.net/virus-setup-fullversion.exe)

[Al Simmons]

Did i read correctly that Virus runs only with ArmA vers. 1.01?

[Sled88]

No thats wrong... Just read a few previous posts, it runs on every version but the arma-game have to be protected by securom, it will not work with starforce or the downloaded version.

[Al Simmons]

Ok, thx

Do you understand whats wrong and how to fix it?

[MadRussian]

I&#39;d like to try this mod but I can&#39;t get it working.  Just to get some clarrification here...

I&#39;ve never really given a thought as to which version has which copy protection.

Can someone clue me in?  Please don&#39;t spam me if this is all wrong, but here are the versions of ArmA (I think) I know about:

-------------------------------------------------
Version:                        Copy protection:
Czech/German retail - ?
Czech/German download - ?
505 European retail - ?
505 European download - ?
Atari US retail - ?
Atari US download - ?
-------------------------------------------------

Thanks&#33;

fyi- I have 505 European retail

[Sled88]

Czech and german are dieffernet versions. Th czech one os protected by starforce and the polish one too. All the other versions are protecte with securom. So it should work fine on your version.

@<hidden>: What arma version do you have? When did you downloaded it?

[Moricky]

List of ArmA protections:
StarForce - Czech, Polish and Russian
SecuROM - German
SoftWrap - SPROCKET version

And these are only Armed Assault protections, I don&#39;t know what is included in Combat Operations.
I still don&#39;t why is special EXE needed to launch the mod.

[Sled88]

I metioned it a few times Gaia... Because we started the development in v1.01. It&#39;s not that easy to convert them to version 1.05...

[Jackal326]

Well I think what people are curious about is whats so special about the mod that it can&#39;t be launched by just adding it into the shortcut like a normal mod folder?

[impi]

I have a number of points for you guys.

The version I have is the english language dvd bought in the uk.

Second point is why is this so hard to get this going for so many people, it&#39;s kind of ridiculous. I downloaded the Swiss Army Mod at the same time as your one and no problems. It installs and you play it fine. But for yours we have to go thru hoops and roundabouts. Come on guys sort it out&#33;

[Helping_Hand]

It would seem that the mod isn&#39;t that well thought through then?

[Sled88]

...

The pbos in the mod are v1.01. Thats why you need Version 1.01 of Arma to play it, and thats why there is a special exe which pull back arma to v1.01. If any guy thing he can fix these 3 gigs of pbos to version 1.05, you are free to do this. Why the Switzerland mod is running without problems is the fact that it is no total coversion like virus is... Virus replaces nearly all pbo files of armed assault. And if guys think that the nearly 7 month of development brought nothing, then do it but post reason why at all.

At first i wanted to try your Campaign and reskin pack but after reading all those negative statements here i changed my mind. It seems your making the same mistakes like you have done for your OFP projects.
And after all, did those german magazines had any choice between your Project and other mods before voting your Project? I think there wasnt much competion thats why this award is worth nothing. You just impressed a bunch of non-ArmA/OFP players with some nice screenshots or trailers which where showing basic ArmA-stuff with a new texture.

[Sled88]

Can&#39;t read any negative statement Al Simmons... The game isn&#39;t running on some systems... Thats normal for all games appeard in history isn&#39;t it?

The research for some realistic points in Virus took a few days. The texturing itself is no problem, but you have to take care about the wrinkles in the clothes. I think someone released a very good .psd-file for texturing units. What we prefere is the gameplay not the high-realism you can create with armed assault.

I think someone released a very good .psd-file for texturing units. What we prefere is the gameplay not the high-realism you can create with armed assault. WoW yes thats what we are talking about. i tried to create some marines too but i failed miserably (http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin....t=61001 (http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard311/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=70;t=61001)) . They suck compared to your masterpiece.
