Patch 1.60 - The Good News and The Bad News

[papoose244]

will we get a A2 patch aswell to fix the warping?

[Rożek]

I wouldn't say that's a "Must have" or a gamebreaking issue.

You should have read it correctly, it's MUST HAVE for Multiplayer Mode. If you play this unit you are being killed from everywhere because you stand out a mile with your orange suit so yes IT IS GAMEBREAKING ISSUE.

To be perfectly honest, it doesn't look that game-breaking to me from your screenshots. And it's not accurate to say it's an "orange suit"...only the skin on the face/hands seems to show up as orange, which from a large distance is not all that distinguishable, anyway.

I'm not saying it's something that shouldn't be fixed, but I wouldn't postpone 1.60 for it.

If you want stuff from TKOH, buy TKOH (and perhaps ArmA 3)

I have bought TKOH, and will buy ArmA3 I just think, and this is totally IMO..a feature(Fast Roping) that should have been in ArmA2/OA from the get go! And most of the stuff in TKOH has been asked for and in some cases, begged for... since OFP! I am not trying to sound greedy, It was more of a simple question...maybe more of a wishing?

Anyhow, can not wait for this next patch, hope there is more then just the warping issue fixed/added!

Dave,

Try CTF KnD Level Up. Nobody takes the west officer slot because everyone who has played it knows how it ends

I haven't said anything about postpoining anything but is there any problem for you to postpone the patch for a few next days while we have been waiting for it for such a long time? Rush is not a good way if you want something to be done properly.

C'mon, do you ever play russians in OA? All old ArmA II models light up plain bright white in TI...you know how this ends. That's far worse because you can not simply choose a "camoX" or black face in your user profile.

This needs fixing. Sadly BIS doesn´t seem to have the time for it...

TI is an OA feature, content fixes for A2 (Standalone) were afaik long closed already.

Well, many A2 content fixes have recently been made, mainly by Jezuro

and will apparently be included in 1.60RC

Are you saying that these fixes will not work for A2 standalone, just for CO?

[Sickboy]

Well first off I'd say that Mission fixes are different from other content (data) fixes.

Second I think that "Applying TI maps to models", aka adding new features, is not a fix, but rather an upgrade :P

Third I think that they might even not be able to add TI maps to the models, if the models need to remain compatible with A2 original, unless A2 would be adjusted for it etc. Sounds quite far fetched.

I think we will see MLOD's for A2 Standalone and maybe even OA at some point - this would be an excellent moment for the community to step up and apply the TI maps.


As to the inclusion of A2 (Standalone) mission fixes, I have commented before, such fixes should not be included in the patch of OA itself,
but perhaps the OA patch will include an A2 (standalone) patch with mentioned fixes - which then should also be released seperately (I think we've seen this before).

This is all based on what history tells us, of course things can change, and otherwise .. "exceptions confirm the rule" (Dutch saying direct translation).

And to answer the question specifically; the A2 mission fixes should work just fine on A2 Standalone (no need for OA/CO).
