Bought this game on sale and it's a blast. Anyone else down for some unauthorized use of force?

Finally made it to the VG Army as well. Hey there!  

Yeah it's about time. Welcome!

It's safer and smarter to make them run a lil to get to your crate. Don't drop it on their heads, because injury will follow. If a crate is dropped right on a squad in a hot zone, one RPG will soon smash it to bits.

There'll always be a doofus who runs underneath your chopper where you cant see em. Don't worry, shit like this happens. In general, always try to drop the crate behind some cover or on the safe side of a rooftop for example.

@=VG= GRNANDGLD is the master of foreshadowing  

Yes I'm aware that I laugh like Jafar  

In addition to what System said, taking enemy kits is also a pain in the ass for admins. Teamkills would go through the roof because 'he looked like a bot!' and then you gotta deal with these reports, people calling people out etc. It also makes the gameplay a bit less flowy, cuz you can't just shoot anything that 'looks very much like the enemy', you need to verify 100% with map etc.

In a team-based game, where we all side together against the enemy, It's better if BLU looks like BLU and RED like RED. 

Aside from the potential technical challenge (others are way more qualified than me to react on that), what exactly would you like to implement into PR? I'm seeing a very vanilla-y experience with nice graphics and sounds, but nowhere near the essence of what PR is supposed to be. This mod shows kill indicators, realtime stat displays, realtime maps etc. Sure this mod looks fun, but I wouldn't want to see those elements into PR, a game which has some form of 'realism' entwined in it's nature. A dropping body means the guy is dead, a tank going boom means the tank went boom, without pop-ups providing that info for us. This mod looks very well done, but I don't consider it compatible with PR spirit.

Just noticed the bots will spray n pray at close range even with rifles. That makes CQB requires more teamwork and more muzzles covering each other. I love it!

I did notice that this spray'n'pray doesnt pay off IMO though. Have had several surprising firefights with a bot at about 15m range, and I can tap him dead while he is literally spraying about 20 bullets that mostly/all miss me. In those encounters I feel like I definitely should have died, lol.

Do you mean it was intended to have differences between identical kits depending on if you spawned with them or grabbed them from crate? If so, that would seem odd, nein?

Khamisiyah LRG:

If you spawn with medic kit you don't have smoke grenades. If you take a medic kit from a crate, you do get smoke nades but also deployment-style healing.

BROOOO I hate you :')... Bali has been in my heart for months now, and I'm simply waiting on beter covid times so I can go visit the beautiful Indonesian archipelago again... Between the breathtaking sights, people, food and culture, truly one of my most memorable places ever visited. Great pictures! Please share more

Just saying that if the files were compressed using the "self-extracting" option then a double click is all that's needed to extract the files. No "un-zipping" software needed. 

Very ergonomic indeed, though this usually means you'll have to download and run an EXE-file, which may cause your antivirus/antimalware to go into Def Con 5 and block execution. Google Chrome, as well as other browsers probably, will also throw red flags when you try to download an indie-created EXE-file and (depending on your security settings) may outright prevent you from downloading it.  This is one reason why data is usually shared as non-self-extracting zip/rar/7z archives.

Can you make the DL files self-extracting?

I have a script for auto-extracting maps and mods for MineCraft. If you think it would be helpful I can tweak the code to work for PR maps.

If you want, I can have a look at optimising your model further. Got a whole set of imported PR meshes that I optimised for use in instructional videos   Blender is bae

Operation BobCat STD

Mumble will globally stop working for everyone, sometimes it works again later but sometimes doesn't. It almost seems like it's flag-tied but I can't rally see a pattern.

Yamalia STD, no kits can be requested. Main base repair station, dropped crates and APCs all don't give kits. It keeps saying 'You need to be close to a...'.

One can only take pilot kits from helicopters.

Once all the AAA guns are destroyed on Pavlovsk, Harriers can VTOL around the map undisputed.

The Harrier was hovering inside the sub pen, yes INSIDE, shooting enemy infantry while friendlies were trying to deal with armor outside

Meh, that is indeed lame... Do we already know of a confirmed working fix that could be considered? I'm not aware of what "Melon's fixes" actually implies.

I'm a fan, it allows for very precise insanely-powered CAS when requested, on those maps where that's welcome. Whilst hovering you're pretty vulnerable, which brings a good balance IMO.

I would go for Starbound, Terraria has a limit even though i spent tons of hours into that, Starbound has no limits like Minecraft and more suited i think for long term playing on server, 

But Starbound 2D

Right after VG MineCraft.

So the server can finally run Minecraft !

Paid my part. Go =VG=!

@=VG= 0100011000101 @Condrad the main static danger is a charge building up on your vacuum's nozzle. All the hairs, dust and other crap passes through that 1 concentrated hole. This can potentially build up enough static charge to fry a component if you bring the nozzle too close to one of them when enough charge is built up. Canned air is free of dust, so nothing that violently rubs the inside of the canned air nozzle as it exits. The risk is rather low, but enough for some shops/manufacturers to not bring vacuums too close. My friend used to repair PC's before covid and he'd use a vacuum at a few inches distance, which would suck all the dust that he blew off with bursts of compressed air. He'd never let a vacuum part touch or get too close to any component.

Something's fishy over here.

Best marine biology connoisseur: @LangMaster

I'd like to nominate a few players as best-in-slot for the following categories:

• Best trans pilot: @=VG= Acro1
• Best CAS pilot/gunner: @=VG= Acro1
• Best medic: @=VG= Acro1
• Best all-round infantry operator: @=VG= Acro1
• Best dirtbike driver: =VG= Binary @=VG= Acro1
• Best squad leader and morale booster: @=VG= Acro1
• Best tank/APC squad operator: @=VG= Acro1

Now on a more sincere note: I nominate... everyone. For every slot/position. Have been very positively surprised by several unknown faces in the past few weeks, so to me everyone is potentially a great player in his/her slot. There's always those names you remember ofc, but I'm happy that that list keeps growing for now  I love the intention though and I've known that other thread on the PR forums!

If you hold Shift to focus w ironsight, then open and close the capslock map whilst holding shift still, the focus will stay zoomed even if you release shift. Feels kinda cheaty cuz you can enable the slight zoom 'permanently' this way.
