Long live the Commonwealth!

I agree, even if it wasn't against Bohemias rules, it shouldn't be pay to win anyway. If you donate you donate to help the community, keep the servers alive, and get sick skins

Destroying the server the lazy way  sorry bluefor

 

You actually helped my indie team in a few fights by suppressing people we were fighting lol. Of course you also wrecked us a few times too

For enemies they should be able to pick locks as well if the vehicle is empty, similar to how building parts are unlocked. And yeah maybe have it so they drop keys or the vehicle automatically unlocks upon death.

i have used a sandstorm beside a ammo truck on stratis before and i killed 103 people in less then 30 mins, the range and damage they do is broken

Is there no way to limit how the ammo trucks work? Such as you can only use them once every 15 minutes or something?

And if you know how to use the elevation keys, they work awesome as a tank too infantry running at you, Load AP Mines, vehicles, Load AT mines.

For the arsenal they have, they are very deadly, and very OP even without the artillery computer.

That's why on I&A they only allow 8x rounds, per a AO.

I think they'd have a hard time acting as a tank on Wasteland though, since everyone and their mother runs around with a titan.

How would they be aimed without the artillery computer? Would it just be trial and error until you hit the location you're shooting for? Even so, they'd still be pretty cool

Well doesn't this already exist, you donate to Wasteland and you get access to custom skins?

Yep, but you can only change your uniform and vehicle, weapons are not an option currently. @envy

Leopard is correct, unless your new skin you create is in the mission file every single time you want to use it then it would be impossible, not to mention if every wasteland supporter made one the mission file would be enormous, players would be forced each time to download each other's skins, cool suggestion @Super Wookie Just simply not practical.

The skins wouldn't be custom made by me or another player, they would be the same as the skins used on vehicles and uniforms that're already in the server (e.g. the rainbow and american flag). So every player would have the same skins and they would be in the mission file. I know @Unit_3397 was making some new ones as well. https://strayagaming.com.au/forums/topic/8074-new-textures-to-come-into-wasteland/#comment-35906

It should be only the person that bought the vehicle can lock and unlock it, kinda like they have the car keys.

I would love to see the implementation of the Sochor, Sandstorm, and Scorcher into wasteland. They could either be exclusively available in rare and hard missions (e.g protected by an IFV and infantry AI), or you could make them as expensive as a Wipeout in the vehicle store, only purchasable at one store (e.g Air Station Mike), and show up on the map similar to high value targets. If they were easy to hunt down and destroy, as well as being expensive, people would be less likely to use them and they wouldn't become OP.

Would it be possible to make it so supporters can reskin their weapons, the same as they can do with their uniforms? I would love to snipe indies with a rainbow Lynx

Probably the best screenshot I've ever taken. Beware the Arse Clown!

Mines give me a headache. Theyre such cheap ways of getting kills when placed next to atms or in stores. Just today I encountered a situation where a jet was strafing Rogain gun store and a team mate had placed mines on all the entrances to the building, meaning I couldn't enter without losing a limb. Thus I got pew pewed. Manually activated explosives and tank mines are fine, but the infantry mines are ridiculous and I would love to see them go.

Got my private channel, thanks guys

Thanks for the great server guys! How do I go about getting a private Teamspeak channel set up?

Hey mate if this happened yesterday. It could have been when Links restarted the server but there was abit of an error, even my self, I was playing on indie, server did something weird all players were kicked and put onto another team. Just to let you know links didn't mean for this to happen it was an accident that doesn't usually occur. 

Ah okay that makes sense then. After it happened nothing was said so we were all left a bit confused, I didn't realize it was just the server being screwy!

Not sure who conducted this, but I only move people that wish to be moved. If someone doesn't consent i don't switch them for team balancing. Chances are in your case, this was related to some form of trolling/ team killing, which resulted in you being kicked to indie.

The admin online at the time was Links. It was a few people at the same time that got switched without warning, including me. I was confused as to what had just happened and then other people started questioning it in the global chat too. I was switched from indie to blufor, so it was nothing to do with any trolling or teamkilling.

I am fine with this team balancing script, however a warning message or something would be good. Today I was thrown out of Independent and put into Blufor, which made me end up losing the boat I was driving as it teleported me back to a spot I was in a few minutes beforehand. Sure it was just a boat, and I didn't really care about the boat, but I can only imagine if it were to happen as I was flying in an expensive helicopter or jet, or even a tank if I was in a hot location. Maybe if a warning message saying something like "You are going to be team switched in 2 minutes" isn't possible, it could be made to only target players on foot and not in combat?

Super Wookie, sorry about your experience.
Us admins are human, and spend a great deal of time dealing with trouble makers, a few good people occasionally get caught in the cracks.

In future, if you are unhappy with the behavior of a moderator,  you can do what you did here and report it on the forum, or alternatively (for quicker response) contact another Admin via our TS3 server.

Appreciate you taking the time to report this... and again, apologies for the disruption.

I understand, I've moderated for an Arma 2 server for a couple of years so I know how it can be. Thank you for taking the time to look into this for me.

its been addressed with a higher up and it has been dealt with.

I apologise on they way i handed the situation and next time it will be more straight forward with a warning, kick and then a warning then a ban. 

If you have any more issues with this please contact Dasweetdude on Teamspeak.

have a good one man

 

You're implying that I was breaking a rule, which I was not. There was no need for any warnings, never mind kicks or bans. I would much prefer to see the higher authority respond to this about it being dealt with, rather than the person in question.

You have a good one too bud.

At the end of Rule 2 in the aviation tab on the map it states that when there is over 20 players on the server the Littlebird can only be used by a non-pilot if going to the side mission. I explained to the moderator Elliot that I intended to go to the side mission, yet he continuously deleted my helicopter mid-flight. The other pilots on the server were telling him that I was a terrible pilot and was team-killing because I crashed once on accident (and another time because my connection dropped) while I was in a pilot slot, after which I left it for someone else to take. I believe this is the only real reason he wouldn't allow me to take the helicopter, and its quite worrying that he trusts non-moderators/admins enough to go off their word alone with no evidence. I was also kicked for "teamkilling and being a bad pilot" since my connection had dropped while transporting troops, however I don't have proof of this as I wasn't recording at the time.

After my littlebird kept magically vanishing I decided to start recording. The following video shows several instances where its deleted on me with no real reason. The first time it even sounds like hes enjoying himself, and in the final clip I had a group of people coming with me, however in the end a pilot actually got in anyway so I had no control yet it was still deleted. Keep in mind I do respect admins, however when no rules are being broken I don't see any reason to be prevented from doing something as simple as flying to the side mission.

Also my apologies for the stupid watermark on the video, I just quickly downloaded something to edit with and it didn't tell me it would add that until I had finished.
