and just for the record:
we should start a voting - but not like the faked ones.
for real. count every part/vote on this thread NOW:

+1 for mods

I will count them like you did before

we dont ask for mutch, do we?

We get asked for a lot of stuff. You might not know this, but we literally have 1 person actively working on Assist, which is Eliz. He's the man behind pretty much every update and change. JonnyM created Assist, but Eliz the one who is currently running everything.

He's been asked for a whole bunch of stuff. To fix bugs, then get bitched at for fixing bugs. New features, upgrade to 2.8, self-healing, co-op maps. You name it, someone has asked for it.

We wanted to uphold what America's Army is all about. In our heads, it wasn't about mods and modded servers, as that was pretty much the downfall of AA 2.5 when official auth was still up. It was about preserving the core strategical gameplay. Of course things can always change and it's up to Eliz, as usual.

I don't buy that the lack of mod support is hurting the game, from what I've seen mods just make the old-school players quit. And really, the old-school AA2 players are the players we need. They're the players that keep this game alive. Not many new players are going to stumble across AA, a very old and outdated game on a 2 generation old engine, and stick with it or like it. It's simply not going to happen often. We need to hold onto the players we already have and try to get people BACK to the game. I know too many people that quit AA 2.5 back when the official auth was up because everything was "pick a weapon". It was a joke. We're trying not to repeat that.

This is pretty much just how I look at things. Other admins may have different point of views.

mods can not be enabled anymore
weapon picker = no
ultimate = no

I did try that, doesn't work at all anymore

mods are not .exe files dumbo
ultimate.u
pickermain.u
..... and so on..

When did that change Merlin?

When did that change Merlin?

i am not sure when exactly, but i am sure it was between
21.03. and 23.03.2014
i will have a look a the logs, maybe i can see there more.

now at work, but in 6 hrs i should be able to post it.

thanks.

I did not started this thread, its just what i think about that all....
and as i did say i will look at the logs, and i am sure that someting has changed, cause i didn't. and both of that kind of server stoped at the same time. this is not possible, truly not!

and as you do say the mods are still playable, please send me the link for a running ultimate mod.

thank you very much in advance - but dont say then there is no ultimate mod runnable .....

edit: @ELiZ: i did not change the mod at all. i still use the original. but i will try the link you did post. thanks.

i think admins have to make a pool

Swimming time !
