  Unsung The Vietnam War Mod Release 2.5 WIP Report General    

Sgt Savage from The Unsung Mod has released an Unsung The Vietnam War Mod Release 2.5 WIP Report on the BI Forums

Hey all,
Well we are still moving forward time for a bit of an update and some eye candy to keep you interested.

Campaign/Missions
The mission guys are continuing work on the campaign we can now reveal is called : Operation Copperhead

You are Captain Jack Campbell from the special forces southern highlands command bought in to take charge of Camp Oscar. Survive numerous VC attacks on the SF base and surrounding villages while you retrain the local CIDG forces and build relations with the local populous. Go on recon, rescue and support missions following a progressive original storyline. However, watch out for the hardened NVA forces also entering the AO they will try to oust you to take control of this strategic area as they move down from the north. It's up to you and a specialised team to turn the tide and keep your AO under US control.

Sounds
We have also remixed all our weapon sounds to match as closely as possible to the real thing. However , it still gives you that punchy feeling like you actually holding the gun in your hand. Also we are expanding the sound side of things to take you deeper and immerse you in jungle operations of Vietnam. Now you will actually hear the VC and the screams for help from your wounded team mates, plus a few other surprises.

Configs
While the config wars continue, Columdrum is winning the battle. However he could use some help there is a lot of little fiddly fixes to be made to get the mod in top shape.

Models
As you can see YAC has been hard at work updating and re texturing our weapons. Here's a few WIP pics so far

Islands
Also,new maps in the works . Guess where this one is?
Thanks to the kind donation by Geloxo and Frosty Bowman we have 2 new islands under construction.

  Liberation 1944 - Now a standalone game! General    
Zip informed us that Liberation 1944 released a series of high quality screenshots of their upcoming PC game "Iron Front - Liberation 1944", the game will run on the Arma II engine and is set for release Q3 or Q4 this year.

This fall, Deep Silver and X1 Software send fans of tactical gameplay and shooters back to 1944 in "Iron Front – Liberation 1944". The location? Southern Poland during the Soviet Offensive in the summer of that year, when the infantry and tank units of the Red Army and the Wehrmacht engaged in fierce combat. "Iron Front – Liberation 1944" is based on the engine of ARMA II Operation Arrowhead by Bohemia Interactive.

The player takes on the role of a Russian or German infantryman, using teamwork, tactical skill and authentic war machines to battle for victory. The German campaign focuses on slowing the advance of the Soviet troops, while the Soviet campaign is all about breaking through the enemy's resistance. However, the player does not have to do all this on foot: Using their computers, tacticians will control tanks, including the famous German battle tank Panzerkampfwagen VI or "Königstiger" and the Russian Stalin tank JS2, or fighter planes such as the Focke Wulf 190 and dive bombers like the Stuka or the Petlyakov PE-2.

Online is where the battle really heats up in "Iron Front – Liberation 1944": Players can either complete missions cooperatively or compete with each other in special multiplayer modes such as "Capture the Flag" or "Attack and Defense". "Iron Front – Liberation 1944" also includes an extensive mission editor, enabling players to intuitively create their own missions and share them with their friends online, thus guaranteeing that there will never be a shortage of new missions.

"Iron Front – Liberation 1944" is due to be released exclusively for the PC in the fourth quarter of 2011


Thanks zip /Wittman for informing us!

  ACE: To Stable or not to Stable? General    


From Sickboy on the ACE blog.

In response to the question, what edition of ACE Mod ACE Team recommends to use: ACE Stable or Ongoing Development, we have the following to say:
We surely recommend the Ongoing Development over the Stable releases for a few reasons:
* Contains latest fixes
* Contains latest features
* Improves the Mod's development cycle and raises the quality - due to a much more vibrant eco-system; request/report vs response (fixes/additions); We simply can gain feedback and reports sooner, as well as react quickly on them.
Additionally, the ongoing development gets hotfixed asap, incase of immediate/serious issues, which I believe hasn't been too disruptive since moving to the weekly schedule.
Although our team perhaps would prefer even daily builds, the weekly schedule seems to keep us on our toes enough :).
Also, in general we schedule large sized updates at or before the Stable releases.
With the recent switch to OA, incl restructuring of the mod, this has perhaps happened more frequent.

On a side note, we do have basic internal testing (partially automated) but feel that the complexity and size simply means wide-spread testing is almost a necessity and certainly more useful.

With the monthly stable releases, reports/feedback is easily dated, and development stagnates due to having to wait weeks, perhaps a month, until new feedback/reports about current changes.

You might wonder why we provide the Stable releases then It basically comes down to popular demand, and the server hosts which do not allow 'beta' software (or mods) to be used.
Besides providing a casual means of distribution (7z's hosted on websites).

Lastly I would like to add that the Mod's quality largely depends on the active reporting of bugs and feedback on our tracker; Bug Reporting - we can only welcome more .

  ArmA2 FPS analyser by sbsmac General    
sbsmac has released an updated version 2.1 of his great ArmA2 FPS analyser on the BI-Forums.

ArmaFPSAnalyser is a tool that can show you the performance of your game based on some specially-instrumented mission files. In addition, the scripts are available to allow you to create your own benchmark missions. The screenshot below gives you an idea of the kind of information the tool provides - in this example performance across three different kinds of location (city, coast and forest) is being compared. (In this case you can see quite clearly that performance of the 1.05 patch is poorer in city locations than elsewhere.)

  A.C.E. Mod for ArmA 2, Official Announcement! General    
tpM informed us that the A.C.E. Mod is coming to ArmA 2! Public Beta release is planned for the week of 7 December!

A.C.E. Mod for ArmA 2, Official Announcement!
It has been nearly 1 year, since the A.C.E. Advanced Combat Environment Mod, for ArmA 1, was released.

Since that release, we have been constantly working on our Mod, to improve it, expand it, and fix the things we could. In the meantime, ArmA 2 has been released for about 6 months, and our attention has been on the mod for ArmA 2, for at least that long.

Today we would like to announce our plans for a Public Release. As with ACE1, we have decided to start with a Public Beta Release, planned for the week of 7 December. We intend to keep updating our Mod on a daily basis in this Public Beta stage.

We do this to get as much feedback and bug reports as possible, as soon as possible, and provide everyone the latest code to test.

Then before the end of the year, we hope to deliver a few promised, finalized features, and fix immediate issues that are found.
