Like I've said, I'll do whatever I can to ensure the mAAps get updated. Beyond that, if people want to see more map work done, I will continue.
Ant further development by me would exclude MAC and Linux Clients.
Apart from lacking physics support the linux client is very good, you could not make a better port. The assist client on linux is not great.
This game has no future on windows, it wont work on win8.
i would like to have the following items posted:
- new players should make a training to become active
- changing player names should not be that easy again
- cheating control should be better then now, all known hacks should be dedected, players banned
- ban not for lifetime anymore, depending on what happend (from 1 day to 1 month)
- the know bugs should be corrected
- the radar from aa 2.8.5 would be nice to have again
- open slots as a selection in game (on/off)
- more maps to play (even if i did not all yet, but it will bring back more players)
- the chatlogger should be standard in new version
- do not change the the home installation - this is real great how it is now
- maybe more will follow.
As some of you don't know Pit-23 left after some people pressing him without even giving any credit for what he done... [...]
Let's make it clear - the main reason were two recent events:
- Spanky "hijacking" the sourceforge project (by removing other admins and taking the donation account)
- Jared hacking down the aao25.com site (by stealing my password, removing some files, deleting all user accounts)

And once i respected Spanky...People never fail to amaze me with how childish they really are.

Jared: People only respect you when, you give up your time to please them. We put a lot of time into aao25, and matter of fact a lot of time into Headshot, which we just dropped to please aao25 and people think we did nothing.
Jared: I say fuck you to the chumps, and everyone else can piss off
A message from Jared:Jared is an idiot. Did he honestly think he would get constant praise for this? What fantasy world was he living in? Plenty of people were grateful for what you guys have done. You guys just got so arrogant that you felt it wasnt enough. This false sense of "everyone should constantly worship me for this is laughable. You guys ignored those of use who respected you for what you did and instead focused on those who didnt. You only have yourselves to blame.
Again, I didn't do anything malicious. I wasn't involved with the site going down. Which reminds me of a little tidbit of info; the reason why Jared had those passwords is because Pit & Possessed got a hold of the league site (I uploaded it for Possessed) that Jared made and started requesting lost passwords for those accounts. Well, in the code Jared gets CC'd on all e-mails as part of debugging. The passwords for the league site's accounts were sent out in e-mails, one of which was Pit's. Pit used the same password on AAO25 as he did on the league site, you can figure out the rest.The second part was mostly for jared. And just because he had the password (i assumed he got it in someway like that) doesnt mean he had to be an asshole and use it. He could have been a real man and just left but he decided to be a brat and look what happened.
Jared: Nick your just a fucking waste and understand nothing, except your perceived thought of what's happened.
We did a lot of things for this community and listened to players countless times. I for one understand you can't make everyone happy, and I get that, that was never the issue. This was just a fun house for me, I liked to mess with the sites and write a bit of code here and there. Nate invested a shit ton of time never got paid for it, Johnny got little monetary value for what assist is actually worth. For the most part we accepted this and where okay with it, where it went sideways for me was when Johnny left, and we did a call out for help. The tight community that was developed over years was now gone, along with respect and truth. No one was talking freely and moving this project forward, most of the conversations where done in PM's with select few people in the loop.
Jared: This special group of people, delayed and delayed, even when solutions, and questions where asked to help move this project forward. Then when these people where pressed after months of nothing getting done, the rants started and the respect was thrown out of the window. I will be the first to say, in the private staff forums I said disrespectful shit, but it was because I was watching our project get pissed on with no reason for it. What most people around here now don't understand is Headshot was in the making for 6+ years. To watch it come to a halt when outsiders stepped in to help, yeah I was pissed.
A few weeks or days ago Nate comes back and does a check up on progress, which turns into this epic thread of Pit rants. That's what did it for me, Pit tells us to fuck off, like we don't understand the issues with this project and dealing with shit in real life. We have had 6+ years of it. That was the final rant of disrespect for me.
Jared: I will leave you with this, where is your fucking update?
You are back, because he left?
No. Go look at the update thread and check the dates. When I heard Pit intended to create an update (as opposed to never do one) I wanted to help because I (and several others) have a lot of work into the pending updates for mAAp.
I apologized and then gave everything back as it was.
You lost credibility by double-posting and having your signature read "LiNUX RULZ u /cut/ SOFT uSERS AND M@C GRANNY /cut/ xD"
The damage is done, you ruined Pit's credibility, stepping on it with ur muddy boots
Email Sent bro.
hey dragon, can you post it in here? others can see then what is already on the list.The E-Mail sent to Sergio?
thank you.
pit is a sissy for giving up so easily, no need to defend himGiving up? He doesn't want to deal with the bullshit, Just like Jonny. Are you going to insult him too? The guy paid to keep Americas Army 2 alive and just gets constant shit for it. What the fuck have you done? Nothing.
The only thing I'm worried about is people wanting to change the game. When it was the original group of admins we all agreed that we should keep the game just as the devs made it. New maps and security updates were fine but gameplay changes were off limits. I really hope that policy continues for whoever gets the project.
if and when i am part of the proect only small things will be changed but since everything is edited in realbasic not alot will be changed without being told to change something and for the game i was a beta tester before and help do some of the codding for the game and i know my way around the code and for maps i know how to make basic maps like the SF Watertreatment that was a map i made for the game it was an easy map and something that i can add back into the game is the mini map that is easy since i know the old code for it but it would just need to be enabled on the maps so they will show for everyone to see and use and if there is other things people wanted add or fixxed if and when i am part of the project i will make sure everything gets done and fixxed so everyone is happy

Apart from lacking physics support the linux client is very good, you could not make a better port. The assist client on linux is not great.And it won't work on the newest version of mac. If it goes Linux only there will be nobody playing it.

- No radar. It's awesome now, casual. Radar is bad idea.
Gimme setconsolewidth 99 and possibility to change crosshair size and hud opacity. And, the most important, cvars. That's enough- I will be 100% happy with it.
AA was, and is, one of the games without radar. That's why it's not mainstream shit.

Well, the poinf of view is different. I'm not running the project and I'm just a little beattle here. Shitness of radar/minimap is just my opinion.
tidididi think radar is shit, Spanky would like to have it - like i do.
so 2:1 for radar :D
New maps are not needed, there are so many maps not played now so why would we add maps??
New maps or not needed, there are so fuking many maps not played now so why would we add maps??
Woah, chill. The reason is because there are already new maps that have been made that people put a LOT of work into. Also, some people like to try out new maps. Not all maps were created equal, so maybe some of the new ones will get played. It doesn't really have any negative impact on you.I've got to agree.. even if people don't like the new maps, they can never really HURT the game. I see a far greater chance of the few people who like new content to give an impact than the people who don't care giving no fucks at all...
I've got to agree.. even if people don't like the new maps, they can never really HURT the game.
There's not so many players on AA... it's saturday afternoon and right now there are 110 servers for 91 players...
When AA was still supported by the US Army, they were making new maps for each version, until we reached a peak with the pack that had Floodgate - which was not really needed since we already had so many maps... That led to having maps that were not played at all ; and maps getting harder to play on. Sometimes there were no HQ Raid, no Mountain Ambush, even new maps (back then) were abandonned like Taiga, Arctic (which I can understand ^^).
My point is : if you make new maps right now, it will reduce the amount of players we have on other maps. Right, it wouldn't kill the game, but it wouldn't do much good to it either ^^ It would be fun for like 10 players (maximum) within these 90 players...
As for competition, we don't need new maps. There are so many competitive maps right now, just stick to what we used to play in CAL, ESL, TWL. Those maps are great, I don't see why we should change them ; AA got great maps for matches !

The only thing I find gay in this version is the length of flash effect - nobody likes getting flashed but this is way too long.

A Chat on assist [...] New maps are useless.
A Chat on assist.....Sorry Lifra, I have to agree with Spanky on this one. You have all the ts ips anyway...
Only the weak players use em,
I would like something like a beep (optional) at the end of the round. It would be very helpful when playing on public servers. :)My game says "Your squad has been eliminated!", "Mission failed!", "Opposing forces eliminated!" or "Mission complete!" at the end already.
Sorry Lifra, I have to agree with Spanky on this one. You have all the ts ips anyway...
An in-game chat would be way better than using any of the ways you said since it would centralize all players that are actually logged-in to AA25. That way no third party software would be used to get a scrim which would greatly ease the process of getting one. Sure we can find scrims with using TS3 or anything, but the point is to get scrims faster and easier : if you want a scrim, say you get into that "Scrim chat request" then read some like "4v4 Pipe our serv" and just insta PM the guy !
Back in the days everyone was on MSN, now people use fucking Facebook to chat... MSN has been deserted. With MSN being still used by every team, I wouldn't request for a chat like Lifra did - as for now, we sure could use it ;)
There um had a chat where everyone could ask for live help about, kicks or configurations, and at the same time ther were many teams asking for a scrim, and that was really usefull and easy to find a scrim.
Downloaded assist get a error message, running windows 8 :cry:
Why not add voice into the game?
Why chat? we can use our voice in the game and this would help us communicate easier and quicker than having a sit and writing a whole sentence or even typing buttons.
This would include more teamwork and would give more effect.
This has been discussed for many times but don't know yet 100% reason why it can't be.
Just a quick tip off
Unreal Engine 2 has this feature, theres something in AA code, not sure if can be enable... btw ppl uses Ts3/Ventrillo/Raidcall...
http://www.raidcall.com never tried my self, but ppl of Bf play4fre use this, and wow, this game sux hard, looks bugged to the bone.
What was finally decided?
What was finally decided?update will be released but we just started to work on it, but expect something good.
