Demi

Hey guys, I made a video of me driving Formula A on Nordschleife just for people that might also like racing :)
Enjoy :D
 

You are right. I have to admin that I am a little short-fused at the moment. But still.
And thanks for your offer mate I really appreciate it but unfortunately I do not live close do DC and I do not drink. But again, I appreciate your offer.

Usually posts like these really piss me off because it downright says: my idea is better. In fact, it is not.
Let me explain: imagine that everytime you see a marker on the map that says: "Heli Crash". Then you go there, and then you see the chopper flying and crashing exactly at the marker. Does that make sense? NOPE.
 
What even more pisses me off is the fact that you claim that you know how I made the heliCrash mission. Which you clearly do not.
Why? because I made it so the heli crashes close to the position of a randomly selected player. And guess what? Somebody could be in that position or close to it which makes it so that player will actually see it fly and crash.
 
About the loot: be patient for me to bring updates that contain more advanced loot or please shut up and find out how to change it yourself.
 
Sorry about the angry post, I am just really really really tired of all those wise-guys that pretend to know my OWN scripts better than I do. It is just so disrespectful.

Mission names changed? 
No more humoristic "Hello Kitty" missions ;) hehe.
 
Not that I mind, just questioned by one of my players...
Other than that, I love it!

UPDATE!
heliCrash mission fixes and optimizations. Location selection tweaked as well.
 
@Scorpi: I do not test with an HC because I do not have an HC. Sorry but I do not have a solution to that.

I feel like I'm being very stupid...

Used that - want to upload it to my server - it's hosted.
 
Added this in Altis.H folder under propsPos[] = { and made sure the last one didn't have a comma.
 
    {"Land_MBG_Warehouse",{13100,18723.6,0},45,0,0,false},     {"Land_MBG_Warehouse",{18463.2,16513.2,0},336.364,0,0,false},     {"Land_MBG_Warehouse",{9736.54,12195.9,0},315.455,0,0,false},     {"Land_MBG_Warehouse",{5542.92,14917.6,0},128.182,0,0,false}   Added the mbg_killhouses.pbo under @epochhive\addons   Seems to not want to even load the server up...   I remove the mbg_killhouse.pbo - server works fine.
Any help appreciated please?

Hey guys,
 
just wanted to say thank you to the devs of this wonderful mod. Do not wonder about my posts in the board, i am just asking with the knowledge that it is still alpha.
And the state of the mod also it is alpha is really great. We have so much fun right now. 16 players online and had a little fight. Nobody is disappointed and everybody has fun.
 
Thank you for that great community here and thanks to all the great people who helped me to set up my server in every thread i opened.
 
Thanks to the mods for helping me out and keep the board going.
 
THANK YOU ALL BUDDIES :)

I figured that would be the solution, just wanted to confirm that before changing it :) thanks very much!

So I am well versed in this field with 4 hosts as of now...
 
-1st Host: Survival Servers, waste of money and time... Horrible setup, not really customize-able, poor performance IMO (managed)
 
-2nd Host: ViLayer, ehh performance was ok, I customized some, but their support was SLOW (managed)
 
-3rd Host: NFO Servers, Hands down #1 BEST support ever!!!! 4 min is the longest I EVER had to wait for a support response. Their VPS's are great but I wanted a dedi machine due to performance gains. I couldn't bring myself to pay $210 USD per month for one.
 
-4th Host (current): BudgetVM, I have a E3-1270V3 @ 3.9 Ghz, 32GB RAM, 120GB SSD, 1Gbps uplink, full dedicated machine for an awesome price (PM me for details, I don't think they wanted me to advertise). Their support is quick, but I haven't really needed it since there's no issues with my machine. This machine can run 2 full servers, multiple headless clients, host processes, and a bunch more and just keep on going @ 100% CPU usage.... Well as long as you set affinity and have the correct setup.
 
 
TLDR: NFO is best for a VPS but my current host (BudgetVM) is damn good for a dedi.

Thank you for this! 
I will consider them for my next servers :)

UPDATE!
Another big update in terms of code improvements and new features for better control over mission features.

Brilliant. Thanks!

@Tywin: no the amount of mags is global for each mag.

@kludgeDev: I like you too. When I have the time I will try to improve the instructions.

UPDATE!
Somebody said launchers?

A very kind and respectful donation might encourage me to add a feature to adjust item amount for certain items.

I disagree.  The smoke from these can be seen from almost 2k away.  Half the fun of these is going looking for them.  If you put a marker on the map that will just spoil it.  Plus, if you have markers all over the map for these, markers for AI missions, plant spawns, loot containers on the coast.....when you pull up the map it's just going to get cluttered and look like ass.  Just my 2 cents.  

@all: It is all about the classnames. But I do not care :) Most of the stuff I like from the loot are not in the traders and I can't be the only one in that ;)

I did originally think that it was like that on purpose! It may increase player interaction. Thank you for all your efforts! Come my pay day I'll send you further (HIGER) donations as a huge thanks!

Thanks! I wi upload Sunday when back home and keep you updated.

Did you tackle the guns not selling issue or is that still unknown?

Thanks again for your awesome work! I hope others donate to you too for your hard work!

Well, please know I appreciate it :)

It is clear what Epoch is, and how you play it. So that is not what my question is about, because those two questions (what and how) I can understand easily myself, but something has been nagging me ever since Epoch for ARMA 3 was released in its first alpha, and the more information I get on it, the more I realize that there's so much of what and how that it leaves a void in the "why"-department, so basically that's something I would like to have answered, because it would help me understand WHY things like the construct were planned in the first place, and why frequency jammers started out at 300 meters, and perhaps even why the mod balances soldier simulator with survival, with weird toungue-in-mouth items like Purple nurple, funny masks,etc. with building and these fantasy monsters. Without understanding the "why" it all seems a bit like a jumble of ideas thrown into one.
 
Now, before you start quoting me the first paragraph of the mod's front page (which is a bunch of "what") I would like to be clear what it is I am looking for; I'm not so much interested in knowing what it is that you (the devs) want Epoch to be, but what motivates you, why you spend these hours making this thing, what it is that you think the genre is lacking and where you vision this mod to be. Because I think if I learn something about that, I learn something about what's going on "behind the scenes", like I've gotten tidbits of info from streams about AWOL and his brother going through great lengths discussing the mod, I've heard AXLE talk about "this isn't about the money for us", and Sequisha clearly has some sort of vision with the hooded/cloaky guys, the cemetery of the first front page, and the "hype videos" we saw before we were even able to try this mod for ARMA3 (for those who cannot recall, it was some dude stopping his car and walking toward a church where a cultist would slowly walk toward him, with lit up smoke, lighting and doom metal playing in the background).
 
I believe I'm not alone in my curiosity about this, so that is why I made this a forum post instead of a private message to the developers, because I also believe that in answering this central question, we also will have a couple of puzzle pieces fall into place about a bunch of things, and it will help motivate some in their eager awaiting for the big test of 0.3.0 :)  WHYYYYYY... WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?! :D
 
Also, thanks for having the stamina to pay attention throughout this small wall of text, yo. 

@ekroemer: it just comes across as so since it is the first thing you say in the thread. Interpretation by text is hard to pass correctly I know that myself.

Well... its a hellofalot better than it used to be anyway :)

Keep it up IT07 - best AI Missions I've come across!
