CO/ACR Humorous Loading Tips

[][Niipaa]

Howdy everyone, ][Niipaa and the DGN team here with another small release. Now, I understand that the "Tips" that the new DLC, Army of the Czech Republic (ACR), adds are helpful to the new influx of players.

But to some ArmA veterans, if they feel similar to us here at DGN, they are downright degrading and insulting. Or just plain annoying to see blatant fact slapped in your face from time to time. So this Addon replaces all the old tips with new ones (59 Unique Texts So Far), all of them which will hopefully provide a cheap laugh.

A formal disclaimer: We love Bohemia, and for the most part, its community. This Addon requires something you cannot download: A good sense of humor. If you don't have that, just move along and save yourself the rage. Without further ado though, the Readme.txt contents are as follows.

I'll keep this brief. This is a tiny addon, that merely changes the Loading Screen "Tips" to something a bit more, humorous in my opinion. There are some naughty words, so kids shouldn't be installing, but it's not at the salty sailor level yet. Anyways, this was made in about half an hour, and it's just a little fun, random, obnoxious addon. So that instead of seeing a message whilst loading that makes you facepalm, you can just kind of laugh it off. This is all done in good fun, I love Bohemia, the community, and the game. So try and just enjoy a little humor if you can. If not, delete it. Simple and done.

This does require either the "Lite" or "Full" version of the new ACR content from BI.
Which can be found here: http://www.arma2.com/index.php?optio...-lite-&lang=en

It also requires Combined Operations, due to ACR requiring it.

As for installation, in this day and age, it shouldn't be necessary to say this but I will. Simply pick Version 1 or 2 signatures, depending on if you play on a Signature Checking server, if not this won't matter either way. Move the @OAMemes folder to your root ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead folder, add -mod=@OAMemes to your launch line, and enjoy. If you have trouble, BIForums and ArmAholic have plenty of tutorials on mod installation and setup.

Thank you for this very appreciated little addon..


EDIT: Beginning to wonder if thank you was the right word..

[BlackMamb]

Thanks a lot, guys! Downloading.

@ChrisB It may not be the right word, but it's words nonetheless good sir :3!

Thank you for the early support, we truly appreciate it. Alas it's 0230 Hours, and I'd call that bedtime. If you encounter any issues feel free to post them. If you're looking for something that just removes the tips altogether that's also available by the PvPScene and a few others as well. I could hunt the links down if needed later.

Also, any grammatical or spelling errors (Aside from intended ones) will be recitified later today. Enjoy and good games to all!

Funny, but is there a way to simply disable the "helpful hints"?
