Jackpine Savages' Home on the 'Net

I went to bed early, trying to unfuck my sleep schedule. I'm definitely down, though- maybe an upcoming weekday evening? Let me know. I've also been on the GTG server when you guys aren't around- let me know if you want the IP for that.

I poked at it a bit. Says 2.5.3. and seems to be working fine.

Couple small things I've noticed:

Some of the roadblocks have moved slightly. (Yes, we've played this so much that I have a lot of roadblock locations memorized.)

The dogs that spawn with foot patrols and sometimes roadblocks now come in multiple colors. The tawny we all know, but now also black and white, and brown and white. This is perhaps the least significant change ever but I was unreasonably excited to see it- and then shoot them.

Hey, chief- Antistasi updated again. Take a look.

https://www.reddit.com/r/A3AntistasiOfficial/comments/q629o8/antistasi_253_is_released/

Since we only just started the campaign like a couple days ago, I'd be fine with wiping it and starting fresh on the newest version. (I manually added Garands and ambushed* like two or three gendarme patrols, but that's like 20 minutes of effort. No big deal. Not even a tiny deal.)

Whatcha think?

-B

*for values of "ambushed" which include "plowed into 'em with an offroad while blaring Motley Crue's "Kickstart My Heart," otherwise less "ambushed," and more just "killed."

All set, looks good.

>Let me know if there are any major issues.<

Welp, I see one- this's Barbolani's, chief, not Community. Those parameters can't be tweaked because they don't exist in this version.

Hoo boy... I mean nobody's perfect and everybody makes mistakes, I get that, but that is one big ol' dook in the punch bowl, Cap'n.

I'll take a look at it but to my recollection the only people who's successfully fiddled with the parameters this way are DR and Raptor.

Still ain't running a map or gamemode by default, so if it's supposed to, then no- it's still busted.

It wasn't running a map when I looked at it, IIRC- I'll check it out tonight and shoot you an email.

Yeah, there's some issues with the mods and mod dependencies.

1. Vindicta's still on there- think digging its BIkeys outta the addons folder will clear it from showing up on the recommended mods page? I dunno but it's worth a shot.

2. At least two of the dependencies are busted. CUP Terrains- Maps is allowed on the server, but it depends on CUP Terrains- Core, which is disallowed on server. Likewise, DUI Squad Radar is allowed but it depends on CBA_A3, which is similarly disallowed. I don't have a strong opinion on CBA_A3 and DUI Squad Radar, so if we keep or toss those makes no difference to me. It's fine to have but nobody's hurting without it, IMO. Likewise, CUP Terrains and Core, if we're running a map that needs those then obviously neither can be disallowed, but if we're just running a base game map then we can huck 'em out.

3. Assuming we're not doing Tembelan again, we can probably chuck that one, too.

4. Oooh, actually could we get Advanced Urban Rappelling, too? It is neat. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=730310357
Scrolling down on the mod page there does appear to be some fiddly setup involved on your part.

That's all I noticed thus far, chief. I'll let you know if I see anything else.

Hey chief, Arma just updated again- server's gonna need an update. Also, the campaign might be finished? When I logged in to check a few days ago, everything was green, but it might've been bugged 'cause my map glitched out and then Arma crashed, soooo.... maybe let's check, I guess.

-B

Arma 3 updated again. Server probably needs an update, too. If you can update Antistasi to the latest version too, you might as well, but I dunno if that can be done mid-campaign.

-B

I'll try to be on as well. Lots of interruptions at my house, though- unlikely to be terribly consistent.

Edit: Antistasi updated again! Busy little bee, that Bob Murphy, eh?

Just did and it said the last garbage cleanup was 18 hours ago. You might wanna set it to restart daily, I dunno.

New community version of Antistasi just dropped, too.

"My summer is getting cut short again... have to have another surgery. Mayo on the 26th."
Brutal, sorry to hear it. Good luck.

You asked this in May, too, Beef! Don't you recall? Five or six posts down in this category. Anyway, yes, summer is our offseason. Sometimes you see me or Dark or Viking on, but that's about it. Folks are out and about, especially with places loosening COVID restrictions for vaccinated folks. People had a whole year of cabin fever, y'know. Speaking for myself, I get roped into driving my wife and our nieces and nephews somewhere just about every weekend. They wanna go to Valleyfair, they wanna go to the pool or the water park, my sister in law wants me to teach her how to make ogre stew, etc etc. You know how it is.

I'm sure when the weather turns back to overcast grey drizzly nonsense, we'll all be online a lot more, y'know?
