Dale released an alternate version of his Operation BushMaster mission in the BI forums.

Quote Dale :
In Operation BushMaster II the waves of enemies you face will come once the previous[/page] wave has been eliminated, as opposed to Operation BushMaster. This will hopefully give you time to reorganise yourselves!! Each wave will start 20 - 30 seconds after the previous wave. Trust me though, it still aint easy!!

Captain Bravo informed us he released a new mission in the BI forums.

Quote Captain Bravo :
A few have asked if we can release this mission to the public, so here it is.

Situation:

A week ago a convoy carrying a diplomat was ambushed and the diplomat was captured by the rebels as a hostage. The terrorists have given the US government an ultimatum: release their captured leader or the diplomat will be executed. The negotiations have failed and only 45 minutes remains of the deadline. You are to lead an undercover SF team to town to mount a rescue mission to bring him back to base. Satellites confirm the diplomat is being held on a chicken yard next to the central mosque and is being heavily guarded.
It is an undercover mission where you have to infiltrate a city and rescue a kidnapped diplomat. Once you have secured the hostage, proceed to the extraction point where a helicopter will exfiltrate your team and the hostage.

This is a tough mission that needs a real team play. Preferably at least 4 human players (up to 8 can play). Please note although the diplomat is playable, he should be only used by human if he acts like a drunken human! (you can team switch)

You also have a Satellite at your disposal so use it wisely to observe enemy movement and plan your approach. (directions on how to use Satellite are on download page).

Also you have ammo box at your start point. Evaluate what you might need in this mission ..

If you are spotted inside the red zone (near central mosque), the diplomat will be executed immediately!

There is a timer that will pop up every 10 minutes to remind you of the hostage execution deadline (45 minutes).The town is full of civilians so you must be cautious and avoid civilian casualties as much as possible.

You are the team leader so think carefully before you act. Will you drive through guns blazing? Use stealth approach? or ...

amadman114 released this mission pack playable as a singleplayer or coop campaign in our forums.

Quote amadman114 :
Hello ArmaHolic!!!!!!

After 5 months of problem solving and about 50 hours of play testing the BASE Campaign is finally finished!

The BASE campaign consists of 4 missions, together providing around 2 hours of game play. In this campaign you go from a simple lieutenant to a commander, steal a chopper, use high tech weaponry, make a great escape from a POW camp, do a HALO jump, jump out of a C-130j, command an army... Enough? There's more...

All missions except mission 3 can be used in Co-op.

There's some voicing, real ATC recordings and an overview for each mission

Quote t0m :
Over at ArmA: Theatre of War we've grown tired at fighting along pre designated zones and lines that the map makers decided for us. We wanted to decide where to fight and how to defend that position. So we began working on dynamic game modes, our first released one being Takistan RUMBLE. Takistan Rumble is our public release of AToW's own in house map, Takistan Fortification.

The only limitations within our game mode over where you fight are:

The size of the zones.
The number of flags in play

If you have a small community and you want to fight over a smaller area? Make the zones smaller. You can even make more than one if you wish to focus the fighting around certain points. The number of flags also adjusts dynamically depending on the number or players on the server.

And hey, if you want to fight over the whole map, you can do that. Just make the zones that big.

Been too busy with real life to do much with this lately, but just started again after a long break and here's what I've been upto, added some Highlanders, some French infantry and some Prussians in the form of Landwehr and Line infantry. I've got a horse in game and working, but could do with better animations, both for cavalry and wagons. In the works are artillerymen for all sides, some Feench hussars, cuirassiers and light infantry, could still use some help with particle effects for musket and cannon fire, as I don't have the knowhow myself, not yet anyways. A lot of these are still not quite finished but thanks for looking.

NSX released the RHS BTR-70 by Manfred, the RHS Cargo System and an updated version of the RHS Decals on the BI forums.

Quote :
So, here we go again. Todays yummy is BTR-70. This addon has a long history of developement - it was originally made by Manfred from flashpoint.ru and then the progress got stuck because of the lack of people, who could finish the finalizing stages of this designing. Long story short - one day it finally came into the talented hands of our guys, where it was finally made operational and largely pimped up in both look and diversity (and our thanks goes to topas here), as well as in features and possibilities.

The addon itself comes bundled with updated decals pack (which itself was enlarged a lot since the last revision) and the cargo system - a brand new invention of our scripters. While you're familiar with the first thing, the second is something new. This system allows you to ride ontop the armor of diffirent vehicles + it features possibilities to turn on, turn off and manage the options this system gives to you on the run.
Notice, that it's only in the beginning of the developement, so the only supported vehicle is BTR-70 so far. But we're already working on the updated builds, which aim to provide support of this system for most of the vehicles you can see in vanilla A2/OA - furthermore, every vehicle will have its own customized riding animations.

And as a sweet dessert we prepared a special gift - 3 high quality MP missions from Our Army team (english-speaking users may know these guys because of their previously well-recognized Our Weapons department famous for their finest addons for OFP) - one of the most distinguished russian-speaking MP teams, which reinacts the tactics of Soviet Army.

This is a pure client-side modification. The players you play with online will not be affected by this addon in any way, it does not change damage values, zoom levels or anything else than the model itself.
For players who do not have this addon installed you will appear to hold the original stock model, while you see them holding the RH pack's equivalent. The same rule applies for any weapons lying on the ground - you see them as RH weapons, others will see them as stock weapons.

A British fireteam 'Charlie 2' is being tasked with investigating a report of gunfire within the Grishino. Although Chernarus has been at peace for some time, there is still high tension between the ethnic factions within the country. The efforts of NATO and UN peacekeeping contingents from Britain and the US have been increasingly impotent as violent militant groups have come to the fore there is a resurgence of incidents of ethnic violence and fighting. Chernarus, fresh out of a period of prolonged civil war, is still a volatile state with clashing ethnic factions. Friction between these is a force that the military intervention of the US during the civil war did not stop, and it is likely that the conflict within the country will once again come to a head...

Set after the Fall of the Takistan National Army, Coalition Forces launch new operations in the region. ISAF Forces under NATO command arrive in Takistan with the intention of re-training the National Army and rebuilding the infrastructure of the country, but in Takistan, things never go to plan. While the new government is desperately trying to restore their war-torn country, NATO's main focus is now on defeating the many insurgent militias that have formed since the fall of Col. Aziz' Army. You will take on the role of Andrew Miller as his section carry out daily duties in Takistan and the neighboring Shapur e-Dalanper region, from village patrols to escorting convoys through the deadly mountainous regions of Takistan.

Quote Deadfast :
I've had this thing lying on my hard drive for ages and figured some of you graphically talented folks could find it handy.
As the name suggests this is a large L-shaped background (30x30x30 meters) intended to be used with the chroma key compositing process, also known simply as "bluescreen". I understand there won't be many uses for videos but it is also very handy for screenshots where you want to cut out the background.

Available colors:

* Blue
* Green
* Magenta
* Custom via setObjectTexture

Available units:

* Empty

]]> Sun, 29 Aug 2010 10:52:00 +0100 AAS gamemode : Advance and Secure v1.14 for Operation Arrowhead http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=11308

As reported on www.advanceandsecure.com Cat Toaster just released Version 1.14 of the official "AAS for Operation Arrowhead Mission-Pack". One of the main reasons for this release are 14 new missions (plus the 16 of V1.13 makes 30 total now!). We also use some of the latest Features of the latest 1.54 OA-Update and BAF-(Lite)Content like Artillery (Drill Bill) and Shapur (Shapur Showdown). Also we finally really removed FLIR from all vehicles with this Release of AAS in an consistent and JIP-Safe state and the Medic Revive ability is brought back to live again without the requirement of using Beta-Patches.

These are the changes in V1.14:

Thermal View disabled in AAS on Vehicles that gave Blue an unfair advantage
Medic Revive working again
Removed M203s from Mk16 GL TWS to balance it a bit more with Reds counterpart AK74 Goshawk that has no GL
Removed BetaCMAG 100Rnd Mags from Ammo-Crate to avoid usage with Assault-Rifles
Added Nightvision-Sniper-Rifles (Sniper-Class)
Changed Vehicle Respawn-Delay from 30s to 60s (Default)
Changed Default Friendly-Tag Display-Range from 500m to 1000m
Exchanged Binoculars with Target Designator/Rangefinder/Lasermarker-Thingy with FLIR and NV (Recon-Class)
Fixed Custom Loadouts (Loading a Custom-Loadout without having one saved before won´t let you end up being naked anymore)
14 new AAS-Missions including Patch 1.54 Shapur and Artillery-Support (Drill Bill)
Several Bugfixes
Tons of Mission-Fixes

Please note: Only Hosts/Modders/Mission-Designers need to download Releases. No Addons are required, not even Arma2! Operation Arrowhead patched to V1.54 is all you need to run this.

For Feedback and Suggestions please visit the AAS-Project Space at Dev-Heaven or the Advance and Secure-Forums.

This Project still needs a Coder and dedicated Supporters! Visit www.advanceandsecure.com to get in Touch with Project Manager Cat Toaster.

]]> Sun, 29 Aug 2010 08:39:48 +0100 SP mission : Operation BushMaster by Dale http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=11916

Dale has submitted his latest mission for Operation Arrowhead.

Quote Dale :
This mission is very loosely based on an Afghan War Diary Entry from 2007. This is where a callsign part of Task Force BushMaster are attacked by over 100 insurgents throughout a 3 hour period. C42D (the Callsign) called in air strikes and artillery bombardment but the insurgents still kept coming. You could call this mission the Takistan version of Rourke's Drift, the famous battle where a small Platoon of British Soldiers held out against overwhelming odds. It has been stated that over 4000 Zulus were in Rourke's Drift yet the British Soldiers won the Battle. Finally they were rescued...
