Title: Army Combat Uniform (Digital Camo)
Post by: Spanky on Tuesday, August 20, 2013, 19:27:41 PM
The time has come to test the ACU that ELiZ has been working on. For those that don't know, 2.8.5 has ACU (Digital Camo) clothing and models for players. 2.5 Uses the old forest style BDU camouflage blobs. ELiZ has ported this feature and it needs testing before further work is done.

There is now a 32-slot dedicated US-based server hosting this beta version.

This version of Assist also re-implements the feature that caused Critical Errors with the SAI, hopefully with permanent fixes this time. The feature was dead player icons.

we need to get some players together this evening to test this. I cannot see myself as there are no mirrors to look in.
I have noticed the cuffs are still the old camo, which is the only thing you can see.

Sorry for offtopic, but I have a bug to report and didnt want to open a new thread.
And I didn't want to see your post here. Make a new thread if it's unrelated to this.

If cheats are enabled in the server, you can do "mpcheat behindview 1" and "mpcheat freecamera 1" to view around yourself.

Finally updated the AAO25 Beta server. Sorry about that guys, kept forgetting about it all day. It's up and should be ready to rock! Let's see if we can organize a large test on there tomorrow!

yeah there was a bug I don't know of it was related to the new camo or if it was just a serverside glitch where sometimes your footstep sounds would dissapear for a few secs.

Hey spanky would it be possible once a year easter or christmas to have some appropriate skins?

For example can already envision the vip in SF hospital in a easterbunny outfit!

We haven't talked about Easter Eggs in a long time. We've been mostly working on 24/7 features. I'll keep it in mind though. Try to stay on topic.

General protection fault!

I have loading missing lock up but i just left and went into another room and when i can back after a few minutes it just started again on its own.
So its not a crash, its just a very very very slow load.

Bridge loaded almost instantly for me but Shipment took 20+ seconds. I'd guarantee there's more meshes, textures and other assets on Bridge than Shipment.

I've verified the Spectator bug(Where sometime, ACU is not used on Some players)
I'll try and replicate and fix the bug.



But first something to eat :)

Hi, I was wondering if there could be a white snow version of the Combat Uniform?

On snow maps like bridge the camo looks dark and can look similar to the enemy at a distance.

Sorry if it sounds like im nagging  :oops:

Great video man,i noticed that AA25 BETA SERVER was yesterday running but it was V/M so i thought you  were probably testing new version of AA. What song you guys were using in this video??

Not think people would just waste all the medics on themselves?

Maybe if it could be limited to one self heal, but yeh I think people are getting mind boggled with all the updates  :? lol

Have you tried playing the game on something other than low settings?

Please don't, that was one of the main things I hated about 2.8.x

I gotta say, this is a realistic thing, to be able to patch yourself up. However, it doesn't belong in the game. The gameplay in AA pretty much equates to a building raid. If the rounds lasted a lot longer, it might be worthwhile to implement this but that's not the case.

Maybe you would be able to as a qualified medic, but if you're talking about realism, a single plaster or what wouldn't fix any of the wounds you would get ingame I suppose.

OK,but on Hospital when i was VIP and i spawned i used to patch myself up,that made me a really fucked up VIP! This is just an example for good things that self healing brings.

Wasn't trying to give you attitude, I was just thinking that most people seem to play on low settings and with that, the textures get blurred and I could see how they'd be difficult to discern from other ones.

The beta is long done with. ACU and SAI is already implemented in the game.

Post by: dtruesdale on Wednesday, September 04, 2013, 13:39:10 PM
Ok I am with Spanky on the distance thing, and I think it's not that they are blurred but I have seen textures change on a character as they walk. From super dark to ACU. The lighting wasn't an issue it was outside daylight. Also when you die the texture goes back to pre ACU textures. What i mean by textures changing is like on pipeline, in some spots a character goes through in ACU then all of the Suddent the uniform is white (White Snow Suit, as We used to call them Bunny Suits). I have some ROE due to this. I see white instead of ACU and I pull the trigger. When we die it changing is not an issue it just isn't consistent, maybe an OCD thing.

Post by: Spanky on Wednesday, September 04, 2013, 13:47:27 PM
I have seen the white snow suits on Pipeline as well. It seems to happen more after the teammate has died. It looks like the old snow suits, from AA1. The textures are pretty crappy and the alignment is slightly off as well.
Title: Re: Army Combat Uniform (Digital Camo)
Post by: dtruesdale on Wednesday, September 04, 2013, 14:13:29 PM
On other maps I have seen it switch back to the green or desert camo at times.
