Ok, noticed the following, Tao. When you die, you can't use UAV's anymore. When the AC-130's respawn they are just regular C-130's. I think there was something else, but I can't remember now.

It also seemed like the planes were not respawning. In vanilla Evo they would respawn almost before I could get back over to them. Last night it was 10 minutes and the F-35's and Harriers were still gone. In fact the Harriers in the hanger with the F-35's disappeared and we never used them. They looked to be armed with GBU's...perhaps when I got in the other modified Harriers it removed those?

Huh, I specifically changed the C-130 respawn script to make them respawn as AC-130s. I will check it out, along with the UAV issue.

The aircraft should still respawn. It is interested to note that in the original Evo, the F-35s, for example, do not ever respawn -- they have no respawn script executed on them. I think it may have been a Hind rampaging in the base that erased all of those things... I'm considering adding some AI missile guys in the base.

The GBU Harriers and F-35's actually do respawn. They just respawn on the Eastern end of the field down by the C-130's. That's how it was on the other EVO as well. I also noticed that when the C-130's respawn they tend to collide with something that flips them up into the air and they come crashing down on the base. But then there is a plane there so I don't know if it is spawning 2 into the same place or something.

Ah that explains it! I didn't realize that they start the game in the hangers and then spawn at the end of the field. I assumed that Tao had relocated them and never thought to look down the other end.

Tao - If I haven't said it already, thank you for all your hard work. Evo was awesome, but your version is a cookie center in a bowl of AwesomeSauce..

I have to agree with TankerWade. That new UAV script is awesome. I like that if you push shift the camera will lock on to the spot you had the crosshairs on. Now if we can use it to designate for laser guided bombs or hellfires it would be amazeballs! This new version you cooked up is a great practice ground for all of the weapons systems and gadgets. Supporting you with that AC-130 was awesome last night. I can't wait to start seeing some screenshots and video captures from this version! Superb job.

For Tao, as per our conversation:

I'm not Tao, but that's pretty cool. Nice rifle. Is that you in the video, Beans? If so, somebody it's not how I imagined you. Not sure what I imagined you as though. lol Maybe a bit older.

Yeah it's me. Don't worry, I may be 32 years in age but I come across as about 70! Get off my lawn!

Haha, that's great. PMC Beans is here.

I just had my AR-15 out this weekend, and I'm surprised that your camera seems to have actually captured the right sort of sound of it firing. The bass is missing clearly but it's the right 'sort' of sound. I've yet to find an ArmA sound mod that has an M4 with the right sound. Or any of the pistols, for that matter...

You gotta get your thumb-over-bore style grip on if you're gonna look like a real contractor, though! lol



Gratuitous Travis Haley shot. I'll post some pictures of my rifle sometime.
