PiZZADOX 47 Posted December 18, 2015 Thank you for your continued work! Maybe we can get a plain text version of the changelog to view on other devices? http://pastebin.com/WWPEqxx4 Also this update breaks some weapon functionality in ACE, but easily fixable with some edits... too bad ACE 2 guys aren't around.

corepatchispoo 2 Posted December 18, 2015 HELLO GUYS! :) Possible bug in terms of the venom gunner? The new update has caused you to be unable to move properly inside the gunner seat, basically cannot shoot anything properly?? Am confused as I thought this was a patch fixing things that were broken? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Schatten 267 Posted December 18, 2015 Possible bug in terms of the venom gunner? Aiming angles were replaced to more realistic values. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corepatchispoo 2 Posted December 18, 2015 But looks terrible? and why?? and i've sat inside one before and they were more realistic before... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Schatten 267 Posted December 18, 2015 How can you shoot machine gun, aiming it parallel to longitudinal axis of Venom? You have to be in the air. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corepatchispoo 2 Posted December 18, 2015 You don't have to, all you can do is aim it perpendicular to the heli almost now, never mind aiming straight forwards. And you can't aim upwards at all which I know is possible Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PiZZADOX 47 Posted December 18, 2015 one handed man! just remove the two finger safety and you're set! /sarcasm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corepatchispoo 2 Posted December 18, 2015 And what's the point of changing the DMR that has been in the game for years... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PiZZADOX 47 Posted December 18, 2015 I do agree that changing these things which were not exactly game breaking (and certainly have broken many mods affecting these weapons) is unnecessary and was simply a bad decision to implement these. All subsequent config edits should make sure that core inheritable data is not edited and that classnames remain the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Schatten 267 Posted December 18, 2015 And what's the point of changing the DMR that has been in the game for years... I added stepscope for comfort and zeroing for realism, because optical sight has flywheels for zeroing. http://dev.withsix.com/issues/62628 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corepatchispoo 2 Posted December 18, 2015 So no possibility for venom ever being changed back? It's my only love in the game and the thing thats kept me from going to A3. I don't see why these changes were implemented into a game this old. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PiZZADOX 47 Posted December 18, 2015 What has changed in the g36 defines? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hololand 27 Posted December 18, 2015 THIS UPDATE SUCKS WHY DID YOU NERF MINI-GUNS! IF IT IS NOT BROKEN DON'T FIX IT! On a more serious note. I spent 1400 hours learning the minigun in the littlebird. It was great and perfectly fine... THEN YOU GO CHANGE IT FOR NO REASON AT ALL! NO ONE CARES ABOUT REALISM IN A 10 YEAR OLD GAME! IF YOU WANT REALISM PLAY ACE MOD OR ANY REALISM MOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also what is the stupidity with the DMR that is already an OP gun and probably one of the more realistic.... AND ADDING ZEROING?!?! SO I LEARNED THE MILLDOTS FOR NOTHING!??!?!. WHY WOULD YOU CHANGE THE GUNS ON THE VENOM!!!?... 80% of the arma 2 community plays dayz now.... where the venom is the air vehicle of choice, How stupid do you have to be to change the venom!?!?!?! .... I am angry cause i love arma... I invested 4000 hours into a game for you to completely out of the blue change everything that is not broken FOR NO REASON. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rizotto 0 Posted December 18, 2015 HI..after the last patchs of arma2 & arma2ao in maps AAS damage now the script respawn....check this ..and fix this truble..pls Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PreedSwe 18 Posted December 18, 2015 Anyone happen to know how overwatch/epoch/overpoch is affected by this patch? For example how weapons and vehicles from the overwatch classes are affected.. I haven't looked into how the weapon and vehicle classes have been defined in overwatch, if all values are copied/altered from the standard classes or if anything is inherited.. Wondering if someone's gonna have to overhaul all the DZ_ classes in overwatch and make an update for the mods to enjoy the fixes in this patch.. :o Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jetrise 76 Posted December 18, 2015 @dwarden note: Linux dedicated server will be released later (2016) ACR lite + ACR corepatch is still considered for later (2016) Enjoy last 2015 holidays ;) note: Legacy A2: OA branch is available Hello Dwarden, I was just curious if there will be confirmation on ACR Lite soon. I understand you have said it's a consideration, however, it's important to us as an ArmA 2 community that we understand our future for our servers . If ACR Lite is released, it means we can stay with A2 for longer due to additional content. Thank you for your time Dwarden on still working with A2 as well as thank you to any other supporters of the development with A2. Anyone happen to know how overwatch/epoch/overpoch is affected by this patch? For example how weapons and vehicles from the overwatch classes are affected.. I haven't looked into how the weapon and vehicle classes have been defined in overwatch, if all values are copied/altered from the standard classes or if anything is inherited.. Wondering if someone's gonna have to overhaul all the DZ_ classes in overwatch and make an update for the mods to enjoy the fixes in this patch.. :o Class names have not been changed in terms of core A2 vehicles and objects from what I have seen. DZ_Classes will not be effected in anyway as that is applied to modifications only. If they share similar class weapons such as rockets for example that is in A2, that will not be effected either. However, there is an issue with Manual Fire now on the UH-1Y which is related to the new update, not issues with mods. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
