I believe he is referring to times when there are no admins and the maps are not suited for the low number of players on at the time. Meaning: this needs to be set up before the last admin leaves for the evening. Map Vote is not the most reliable and AFAIK can cause a crash if certain map(s) are selected. It may be more wise to get a proper list of what would be good Low Pop maps and actually implement this system at least on an as-needed basis, to get some testing in. We don't know how it will play out until we give it a go. ...hmmm - I forgot who as well...

Get me a list of maps. I already created such a system, it's just not used. It would require a PR Admin to restart the server when they change it to and from that setup. So, last admin at night and maybe first admin in the morning, or whatever. Not sure how it would work, but we've never exactly tested it. It's not automatic or anything, but it's a simple button press called LowPop Setup. Like I said, talk to the people and list the maps that would work, and indicate a seed map (something that will draw people in) for the default starting map in the list.

Yes, just use imgur and paste the link in your post. I use it for everything, even my articles. The upload size for pictures on the VG website is 900 KB, for the record. If you resize your images to have a max size of <900 KB, they will upload every time. Why? Website Size and Costs. Photos and screenshots are getting larger in size these days, and rather than have a website that has empty holes where archived photos used to be when we mass-clean thousands of these not-small image files, we encourage people to use image websites that provide the free storage and image links, or limit their photo size to less than 900 MB per image. When you find yourself wanting to move your website, and spend days deleting terabytes of images and other "now useless" files, you get a little wary about unlimited size uploading for a small community website. I'm sure you all can understand that. We also encourage the use of DropBox for file sharing, and use it in our own download section at times to spread the load off this website and onto a free host that is designed for file sharing, and provides free storage and download links, though files under the limit can be shared here just like photos.

Funny you should bring this up just now. I've recently installed 2 additional PR Servers on the VG Dedi. Both of them are development servers and will (from time to time) host public events to try out different game mode styles and different maps that are not part of PR. You can see some early activity now with the events yesterday and today, and also that we are not finished with these servers yet - mumble is still not working, and this may be why there is random lag and performance issues when running more than one of these servers at a time. I'll be fixing that this coming week. One of those servers is a general PR Dev server suited for "whatever", and the other is dedicated to the PR COOP Insurgency gamemode that =VG= Fastjack developed. Both will remain passworded when operating non-standard maps or gamemodes, though they will be open to the public during most events. Aside from the PR COOP Insurgency Server, we don't plan on hosting a 2nd PR COOP Server at the same time as our VG PR COOP (running the same thing) but we are interested in running a variety of games/gamemodes which may be happening once testing of PRCOOP Insurgency is complete.

Okay - the links are in the post above, if you can't figure it out, you will not be joining the event. In the post above, it is mentioned to join TeamSpeak. In TeamSpeak is the password for the server, you must join a channel of the squad you are in in-game.

I've updated the VG PR COOP Server -- I hopped in and tested mumble with someone, it's all good! Good luck in your tournament guys, and see you later! **For future reference, if I am not available, you need MelonMuncher. Only he and I have access (and know the procedure) to update the PR server.

Thank you. I like the campaign going for several weeks. I'd like to continue in this fashion, and we'll take it as it comes. If there are issues or it's completely dry and dull, there is no reason we can't just restart to Day 1, though. Feel free to use your best judgement.

Another one?! I'll get right on it...

I love that flag! Very cool that you got it into the game! -
Server is running, there is someone flying on it right now. We require pilots to use the same aircraft data on our server, and you will need to disable any additional addon resources you may be using such as skins or terrain, etc. The error joining was because of different ACDATA only. Server is 32 bit.

you don't! We didn't doubt that, bro! Pardon me for the bad meme, my sense of humor chip is malfunctioning

(okay, maybe there were also some technical difficulties like Mumble not working correctly, etc... Rescheduling TBA)

Bohemia Interactive announces Arma 3 Laws of War DLCNew humanitarian faction, van, drone, mini-campaign, and moreAmsterdam, The Netherlands, August 10th 2017 Previously referred to under its codename "Orange DLC", Bohemia Interactive today revealed the next addition to its military sim-game Arma 3. Available worldwide in the beginning of September, the Arma 3 Laws of War DLC explores a different perspective on the battlefield via the addition of a humanitarian faction, van, drone, mini-campaign, and much more. Some of the basic principles of the laws of war, which are also commonly referred to as International Humanitarian Law (IHL), are further introduced in the DLC's new reveal trailer. The Laws of War DLC delivers new playable content, together with many new in-game assets, providing even more opportunities for various types of combat operations and roleplay in Arma 3. Its key features include: International Development & Aid Project (IDAP) - This new faction, IDAP, is a non-governmental organization which is specialized in rapidly responding to humanitarian disasters. The faction is composed of new IDAP-branded clothing and gear, including outfits for specialized roles such as Explosive Ordnance Disposal specialists, as well as many other tools, supplies, and other items. "Remnants of War" Mini-Campaign - Take on the role of IDAP explosive specialist Nathan MacDade, who is tasked with identifying and deactivating mines after the war in the Republic of Altis & Stratis has ended. While you are being interviewed by an investigative journalist, you will uncover what happened in the town of Oreokastro, experiencing the events from the perspective of various sides, in recollections that span multiple periods of time. Van - IDAP makes use of a new van, which comes in multiple variants, with over twenty custom liveries in total. Each variant caters to a specific purpose, such as cargo logistics or the transport of people. There is also an ambulance variant available. Utility & Demining Drone - IDAP has a new drone at its disposal to be able to quickly move cargo or supplies to a specific location. A special variant of the drone is used as part of IDAP's demining operations. APERS Mine Dispenser - The APERS Mine Dispenser is an effective but controversial area denial weapon system. It is typically only used in desperate situations, and can have devastating effects even long after a conflict has ended. Vests, Bags, Headgear & Facewear - Various pieces of new gear are available to help you carry out your duties. This includes safety vests, messenger bags, hard hats and press helmets, ear protectors, safety goggles, and much more. Additional Content - The Laws of War DLC adds a variety of miscellaneous additional content, such as time trial challenges for the new van and drone, a paramedic outfit, and a training mine. In addition, the Laws of War DLC will be supported by a major free Arma 3 platform update, adding a lot of new content and feature extensions related to the DLC's assets and theme. This platform update is free for all owners of Arma 3. Its highlights include: refined cluster strikes, the simulation of Unexploded Ordnance (UXO), the ability to drop (custom) leaflets from the sky, two new Showcase scenarios (Showcase Laws of War and Faction Showcase IDAP), a wide variety of emergency and medical supplies such as food bags, water bottle packages, blankets, stretchers, and IV bags, plus decorative objects such as shelter tents and new furniture, extra Steam Achievements, and much more.

I really enjoyed both those maps. We had to work hard as infantry to beat back the bots coming to stop us from capping, and they still had the ability to smack us off a cap and retake it. I'll let the other frequent players rate the difficulties and manner of Bot offenses, I just don't play PR enough to gauge that properly. So, I guess my perspective is one of those players on the server who don't play as often as others - less aware of the Botley-ways. They felt very playable, I didn't feel that the vehicle squads were "eating all the kills", and the Bot infantry was still a bit of a challenge in CQC because they seemed to come from more than one direction, as well as spawning in the very buildings we were trying to cap. I liked that a lot! To Melon, I'd like to personally apologize for mentioning the Forest/Bush factor regarding the Bots during one assault. I read the brief, I forgot, and I bitched a little when we all got wiped out in a forest that we had previously flanked due to the bots seeing us first in the brush. Sorry bro! I can totally accept that limitation that the bots can see through brush, they do it on Arma as well - I'll be even more mindful of what I say next time. I still had fun. Thank you for all your hard work, Melon! And for getting OPFOR Friday's working once again!! Let me know ahead of time before the next test if you run one, and we'll do a lot more to promote the test through MOTD's in-game and a longer (more accurate) website Announcement. For Events, 2 weeks is best, but for work like these tests, a shorter notice is understandable and I feel a week is fine. I'd also like to apologize to our regular players, particularly asquirrel -- when the event was first announced I was still very distracted with family issues, and didn't notice that it would preempt a very popular OPFOR Friday that had not happened in awhile. If I had noticed sooner that overlap, we might have discussed altering the test date, but I didn't notice that until we were literally hearing asquirrel let us know that he (and I'm sure many silent others) did not appreciate having to leave the OPFOR Friday that they were very much enjoying. Sorry guys! We will definitely watch out for such things in the future and we are very happy you all are enjoying the new Maplist Rotation System here at VG!

Would you like to use the DEV #3 PR Server so we can keep the default PR server running? I feel like if the primary PR server was off, though you may see more people in your Test Event, you'd have far fewer fuck-off players and more players interested in the "goal" of testing and providing feedback as opposed to screwing around and needing a kick... Let me know. I'll be there either way, for sure.
