New patch 1.56 + add-on 'Private Military Company' out!

I patched Arrowhead to 1.56 yesterday but it messed me up. At first it looked okay, the patch gives us a nice new little map called 'Proving Ground' and some Priv Mil Co units, but after a while it froze up my PC just like patch 1.55 did.
So I had to do yet another uninstall/reinstall and then patch up with the only patch that works for me- 1.54.
So to recap, I'm Arrowhead 1.54 without any addons or mods of any kind and it works fine. At the moment I'm building small simple missions, it's great fun but I'm hampered because the manual is krap and I'm constantly having to ask for advice at the AA forum, sometimes I get an answer, sometimes I don't.
For example I finally got my drone module running, but for some unknown reason when the drone spots the enemy it automatically dives down to attack with Hellfires and crashes into hills instead of staying safely at the fly-in height of 800m.
PS- I invited players at the AA forum to come look at the FGM AA Section and join FGM if they like, let's hope they like what they see..
 
damn... i just tried to load up my wip mission two, and its gone!!
And my thought is that its got to do with the Takistan map having been increased with the last update. :(

Theres a whole bit of land on the rightside been added!

@POS try putting this line in init line of the drone, or its waypoints. this helps helis operated by AI from going below a height or above.
Keep in mind, Arma see's height as from the deck and not sea level.

Deamn... nothing's working as supposed. Too bad Mission 2 is gone, but a bigger map gives us more options of having different mission locations. Question: Are you motivated to redo it?
 
I'm certainly motivated to try and get it working! I cant imagine that a simple map extension could screw up a complete work in progress. And i havent yet googled or checked for possibly work arounds.
Could do with some help advice on how you guys feel the mission should end.
Holding out? wait for the armour to advance (mission three) ?
or get the heli evac to work (open end)
 
I think that is probably the best way to go Bootie. If i get mission two working again, we can always play it as a standalone mission.
Also, this will give you the creative freedom on the campaign. Would probably work easier i think
 
Watched the trailer of the Private Military Company, looks ok but not for me, unless we all run around being mercs, lol.
 
You dont need to get it. In the latest patch, you get the PMC addon albeit with lower quality graphics. This is to enshure that all players online stay compatible.
This was the same with the BAF addon. I bought that cos i want my squaddies looking good and the warrior looked so dull otherwise :)

Otherwise you get an official addon causing the headaches that MODS give. One has them, the other doesnt. And the consumer hates being 'forced' to pay.


Btw, i found mission two. Silly me fired up the editor with the default player profile. That was the reason i couldnt see it in the "load" list. Next problem though, is it wont let me load, saying the iranian content is not installed / avialble!!
When it is! i checked! damn.. keep you updated.

And second, I'm not shure if there has been an add to the map of Takistan?? Maybe i never looked properly at the righthand side?

Don't ask me, I don't look at the full maps, only at the AO maps. Maybe the map was that full before, maybe it wasn't - main thing is we got lots of room to play with.
 
YES! YES!!

I found the problem of not being able to load up the mission two WIP i was working on!
Silly old me had moved the files for backup before i did the patch applie.... and silly old me never moved em back! :)
So when i use the desktop shortcut, it says the mods are in use.. when actually their not there! haha got it! :)

Just a shame its 00:05, and i have to get some sleep cos its PT in the woods tomorrow morning.. :faint:
 
Good to hear there's some progress!

I have played a couple of missions into the PMC campaign and I gotta say the first mission is crap, the second is pretty boring. From then on, it gets interesting and somewaht... unreal. The mission I'm in now (05 I think) is VERY tough even on "Regular". No idea how I'm gonna make that one...

Either way, you just do what you see fit. It's fun to have a minigun mounted on a SUV, but on the other hand these things aren't exactly heavily armored, so we'd be better of with a proper APC anyway.
 
Which one is that? The one in which you drive around in 'Black Betty'?
