I think you have a very great idea there. Make sure you pass it along and get some support for it, it seems like the best compromise between functionality and ability to be exploited.

So, for those callin TLDNR on the Blog, let's start spreading the SOP's now so we're ready when it comes out: If you throw smoke, wait a full 15 seconds for it to disperse before moving -- if you shoot smoke (UGL 40mm and variants) wait at least 1 second before moving FTR, yes, this system will block blind fire through the smoke, it's the price to pay (and I bet it's worth it). For once, concealment is also cover. It's not only that they don't/can't "see" you, but they will be unable to score a shot on you due to an object in the way. Minding that, don't stand just anywhere in a cloud of smoke expecting to be invisible to the bots. edit: @=VG= Double_13 Are trees and bushes next? j/k - thanks again! this rocks!

Amazing work! Hope it performs well and brings a new level of realism and a new layer to tactics into COOP. Thank you all very much for your hard work!!

Don't take it personally, ranger - Double lives in a windmill filled with tulips. But who am I to say, I'm just your average American who sleeps in a house made out of the American flag on a bed of loose ammo.

Sure, you can do that! You just need extra hard drive space... partition off a portion of it for a dual boot installation of a different operating system. Am I missing something? Does the latest Win10 with updates not play well with dual boot systems (Win7/Win10) ?? I don't let my Win10 update when it wants to, so I don't have that troublesome Creators Update, etc. etc... I don't see why it wouldn't work, though, people have been using dual boot to try new or different operating systems without scrapping their currents system for years... Edit: Even if Dual Boot was not possible, you can always buy another cheap hard drive and physically remove the current OS drive, put the new drive in it's place and install a different OS, and all that... And could just pull the new drive and pop in the old one to swap between Win7 or Win10. Dual boot is best option, though, if you have the space to hold 2 OS's on it plus overhead.

Damn, Skitalez! I didn't know were an old (very old) school scripter! Arma scripting was my intro to coding and eventually programming, was big into Arma 2 at the time. @Vanillapop You gotta be into something to put in all the time and work, but it's very rewarding because something tangible comes out of your time, instead of just playing the game, you get to help direct its design. Take that as a first step, and eventually you see how easy programming can be (with good links to online resources) and you can move onto any project ... Skyrim modding, crazy minecraft stuff, little apps for your phone, etc. Deep rabbit hole

^What he said. I believe you are right. Solves nothing, complicates the position even more, and taking 1-5 keys further away from ready access. I often have to make slightly custom controls when they conflict with other hotkeys like TS3 PTT or others, and using a custom keypad I often forget the default keyboard buttons, so there is that compromise helping out new player with a question because it's often not possible unless I happen to know it by heart. Hardest part about custom controls BY FAR when talking Project Reality is that the various kits across the various factions have so many items from 1-9 or whatever that I can't always remember which numbered key is for which item and where is that button on my Razer Tartarus keypad.

What's toilet paper?

In configs or game files? If it's in the game, is it separate for COOP? Because if we could alter that, it would be awesome! That asset cleanup came in one of the recent updates and I was concerned when I saw it if it would become a problem. I assumed it was connected to all assets across all game modes, so couldn't be messed with...

All fingers rest on the same line for typing, pinky on the A key - while typing - and the Z key is hit by the pinky and the X key is hit by the ring finger. Notice the offset, too - Z is often below the middle of A or S, and only the 10-key keypad is a proper straight grid, because the hand position for one handed 10-key calculating requires a straight grid. All keyboards have an offset on the alphabet keys, but it's really different for every keyboard, and takes getting used to for typing at speed. But for gameplay, I think it can get in the way for some games that make frequent use of Z and X. Look again at the picture of that Razer keypad above, because it's designed for use by one hand, and not for typing, all the keys are in a straight grid like a 10-key, and make for easy access to the "shift - z - x - c - v" row (also, the "shift" being a single mechanical key rather than a wide bar. The space is that paddle under the thumb. Basically, when I got into PC gaming, I assumed most everyone who got into it for more than a few months or a year, owned one of these things. I'm impressed that people are able to hover their hand over a keyboard and manage to play competitively, but I'm not knocking it.

Yeah, that four way is usually Jump, prone, 1, and 2 (up, down, left, and right) for most games I play. Makes it easy to switch fire modes or to sidearm quickly. It helps to have a few buttons on the mouse, too. I rarely ever touch the actual keyboard in any game unless it's for typing in a chat.

I could never really get used to the keyboard, I got one of these years ago (and this Razer one to replace it) and it's pretty much all I need for nearly every game. Covers the WSAD keys plus the caps, shift, and z-v, and a 4 way directional, too. Full customization with the software, supports macros, etc. The palm rest is the best, tho, cuz I can't hover my hand over a keyboard without mashing the damn keys.

Time isn't free...

Thank you for the report(s). Have verified that this person is now on the banlist. After reviewing his history in the logs, it is extensive and therefore this person will not be eligible for an unban. Ban is permanent (reason trolling / repeated intentional teamkilling) /locked

The VG PR COOP Server has been updated to 1.5.5.2 We will be starting this new thread for bug reports and feedback regarding this most recent patch. If you have previously reported an issue, please attempt to recreate it and see if this updated fixed it, and if NOT, please re-post details here so we can get the info to the proper individual(s). Thank you all for your patience (I had no internet for the past 3 hours, fun story for a different day - Cheers!)

This is a feature, one I am a bit proud of I hated when, after typing out a sentence or few, something would close, and I'd lose what I wrote. So, anything you type into a reply box is sortof saved like a draft. This is so you can come back and continue your post where you left off. Simple solution is just copy all and delete to start over with a clean post. -------- Regarding the bug reports, those are some whoppers!! Definitely not a VG setting causing that, but a serious code issue in the game itself, likely from the last update if it was after that that you noticed it.

I highly doubt that deployable assets not working is a feature of the game. It is a broken mechanic however it happened, and was not planned nor designed that way -- if it is an unintended consequence of any other updated feature (i.e. deployment) then it is still a broken mechanic, and not a feature. Because of this... ...we will likely take it upon ourselves to fix these things in the pythons (or elsewhere) in order to have a working version of this game in COOP Mode on the VG Server at least, until such time as those fixes become part of an official update / patch. Don't expect an ETA, and don't expect it to happen overnight, but we've discussed this previously and it is an option we have to fix the game when no other fix is pending/possible. In hopes of avoiding janky updates/features in the future, VG will be providing a dedicated server testing environment to the PR COOP Devs and Contributors, they have already requested it, and we're happy to help out with the development and refinement of the PR COOP Game mode. Thank you all for your patience and understanding!

Yea, that's something Double broke... (j/k) ... but thank you for the report anyway Bliz

Melon has restored the kits to working order. Please keep the reports coming. If you see something, make a note and toss it here in this post later.

Rub some dirt on it and take a lap j/k Glad you're okay. Take it easy, stay off that thing!!

Whoa!! That's not anything we did regarding settings or whatever. That's a serious problem. And not just VG Servers?? This would be something to post up in the support section of the actual RealityMod website. They'd likely ask for some logfile or whatever to help you identify the source of the issue. You ARE certain nothing at all has changed on your end? And that the first time this issue occurred was AFTER this(these) most recent PR Updates? Anyone know if anyone else is experiencing this?

How about we add a feature where all the players can vote to runnext and then if the vote goes through, the command gets executed (even without admin present). That would be great way to prevent this feature from becoming an issue.
