Welcome to Elephant Island! A sunny place somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, or the Carribean, or wherever you want it to be.
Only sparsely populated, it features two military camps and an airfield as well as several radio installations which makes it an interesting strategic object for several countries nearby. Read the rest of this entry »
After breaching IAEA rules over nuclear enrichment and hiding the development of nuclear weapons, Ardistan (also known as ‘Eraan’ in the west) has increased tensions in the region by recently testing medium range missiles. The US and British have reacted angrily in this blatant disregard for international law. UN Security Council has passed resolution 1973 giving Coalition forces the moral and legal authority to use force to stop Ardistan’s nuclear weapons programme…

Helmut Derugger released rope physics script for Arma2.
Please look into HEDU_Rope.hpp, the example mission and example.sqf for information on how to use this.
Tested with Arma2 1.08.
Works good enough here with 5 nodes. With more nodes it usually renders everything twice due to the nature of Arma2 scripts. Will behave jerky sometimes. When manually ‘attaching’ objects to the tip of the rope by updating their position yourself, objects that have gravity applied by the game engine may jerk downwards. Objects that don’t have gravity applied work very well though. Includes the complete sources.
Xeno426 released updated version of his Stryker addon with several fixes:
“It really annoyed me how the MEV (ambulance) Stryker can’t hold any troops at all, despite the ambulance versions of other vehicles–like the BMP-2 and M113–can. This is also counter to the actual MEV, which can carry four patients on stretchers or six less seriously-wounded men in regular seating. What’s strange is that BIS’s MEV model can carry the full nine passengers of the ICV model. For balance, though, I’ve kept the number of passengers to four.
The Stryker MGS is another annoyance. The fact that there is no gunner–only a commander and driver–not only breaks the convention of other vehicles that have only two positions (like the M113), but can also cause problems in Warfare. Thus, I’ve fixed the MGS Stryker to display its positions as gunner and driver rather than driver and commander. Summary: The Stryker MEV now has eight passenger positions. The Stryker MGS no longer displays a commander position; it is now a gunner position.”

“Following the wars that ravaged the islands in the 1980′s, it was decided that the old militia system of weekend warriors with a minimum of training was insufficient to ensure the defence of the Nogovan Republic. Permanent armed forces based on universal conscription were therefore established, built around a core of former FIA guerilla’s and returned expatriate officers. Read the rest of this entry »
