You should be able to open any training map at any time. Again, except for advanced marksmanship which when you load that map, it checks your AA personal jacket (which it can't connect to) to make sure you've completed basic training. I will try to make a new map for sniper training (with moving objects and whatnot) but that's not a priority right now.

I see. OK fair enough - I will wait.

It seems the "save personell jacket" function needs to point to the 25assist server, hopefully he has access to the code for that. (Assuming the save uses the same data record structure as the AA version)

Maybe a workaround could be used by changing the local hosts file to point the old AA auth server address to the new 25assist server, but as I have no idea what those are I could not say for sure.

It's not as simple as that. Training will likely never be re-implemented since the game code would have to be rewritten, and a database would have to be setup somewhere. Right now it uses the BT account system for verification but they don't have database tables for training saving. It would take a lot of work just to re-implement something that pissed off new users. The maps are still there so you can have fun with them but they don't do anything. Although, advanced marksmanship maps don't work, I'll have to create a substitute.

read my other post but
3rd floor escort = cant see when prone on tables.
West wing Roof= cant see when prone near a/c ducts / wall lip
Fire escape (one that lead onto wwr) = cant shoot through it when undernear.

Think that's it..

Should also check out SF Hospital Night Edition.

But is it only when seeing across the map from those two locations where players disappear?

Alright, I've made 2 versions;

SFhospital285clone.aao has the zoning removed in 3rd floor escort building but retains the ZoneInfo actors like the 2.8.5 version does.
SFhospital285proper.aao has the zoning removed but also the un-necessary ZoneInfo actors and Sunlight actors to make the map "proper".

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/464376/aac_maap/Hospital.7z

If someone (actually 2 or more people) could test these and see if the issues are fixed, that would be great. If they are fixed, I would like to refine the map a little more, reducing file size and raising lighting quality. I WILL NOT CHANGE GAMEPLAY, just shadow quality improvements and hopefully file size reduction.

2.8.5 finished downloading and I opened the map. Forgive me for not knowing the locations (I never whored Hospital much), you're talking about 3rd floor escort versus that the high-point on the opposite side of the map? The roof with 2 large AC units, 3 small AC units and 2 skinny vents?

The only thing I'm seeing different is that on 2.8.5, the 2nd and 3rd floor ambush buildings are no longer zoned off. Oddly enough they still have separate ZoneInfo actors which means that there's 3 in the outside zone (not proper mapping). This could be the answer but I'll need someone to test it that is familiar with the glitch.

Waaaayyyy too big for Dropbox Jonny :) I found a torrent that seems to be active. I'll see how it goes.

It's just a matter of finding a 2.8.5 download location...

I think reloading and flashes are fine. It's a level playing field for everybody. I have no motivation to start changing these values.

I guess I'll have to download 2.8.5 and compare differences. I should also check out other maps. I know someone was talking about NVG on Urban Assault letting you see through all the fog.

word, understood. glad we could have an interesting convo bout this too... traded shoes for a minute.

with all do respect spanky, im for real lmao.. your fuckin epic sir.
Haha, thanks :)

alright, all seriousness. I agree, some(alot) people are definitly waste of skin and space, thats a given. But I think the death penalty for being a douche bag is pretty ice cold... i mean, douche bags have it hard enough, they have to go through their whole life being a douche.... And why would you trust the one that could one determine who is worthy of living and dying? In Hitlers day, it was the jews who were unworthy of air, and the blond hair'd blue eye'd boys worthy of living.... and how could you determine who has the right to live before some are even given a chance, like all the babies and children... not to mention pregnant moms that would have to perish too. And just think about it, if that system was in place thousands of years ago, what great inventors or leaders would of been killed before given a chance? Would we even have the freedoms we do today?

And ill admit too, I'm probably not one to make it in the 500 mil either. Plenty of better athletes than me, plenty of smarter people in the world to boot... but your freaken hardcore spanky... you would give up your own life, for somebody else's definition of 'greater good?'...call me selfish, but I personally, couldnt. I love my life, family and fiancee too much... I enjoy living... I would fight to keep what i got, before just give it all up, to anybody.
I wouldn't want to be the one making the list or deciding. But, neither of us ever said that it had to be this way. We could just implement Chinese law that every couple can only have 1 kid. This would ensure, at least in the modern world, that over time the population would decrease. Granted, we would still have inferior gene pools and stupid people but at least there's less.


In the end, dont we all seek the same thing?.... want to spend time with the ones we love, Live comfortable, have some kind of financial security and be free to make your own choices? I wouldnt want to see that taken from anyone.
I agree. But I can still live comfortable not knowing what goes on globally or in the world of politics :)

soupcakes, I respect your opinions as well and it's nice to have a mellow discussion about this kind of stuff.

I'm not bothered by it because I have nothing to hide. The government knows how much money I make via taxes, the state knows where I live via taxes... There's not much information that's private anyway. It's not no privacy rights. It's not like the government has the power to overlook everything you do and it's not like EVERYBODY's information is being looked up. The more systems you're in, the more your information is out there. It's like I used to say, if you want to be 100% safe on the internet, unplug your computer.

Now, just because I'm not bothered by it doesn't mean I agree with it. But, it falls back on the fact that it would take a lot to effect change. I don't want to spend my life TRYING to get positive (in my mind) change to happen. I have no hope for America's future. I have little hope for the world's future.

About the rocks, I wasn't joking. I seriously think the world's population needs to decline rapidly. I know this is a touchy subject so I'll offer a disclaimer:
I would never endanger or cut short someone else's life except in self defense.
With that said, I think a lot of people on the planet could be eliminated. It's somewhat hitler-esque but it's true. There's too many stupid wasteful people that are simply a waste of oxygen and resources. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not a great specimin for future generations to be built on. Various chronic diseases, cancers and illnesses run in my family's history. It's one reason why I have no desire to have kids. On the other hand though, there's plenty of brilliant minds and healthy (both mentally and physically) gene pools out there that need to be tapped more. The only hope for the future is by getting rid of ignorant, waste-of-good-oxygen, progress-retarding people. I won't make lists because I'm not hitler and I won't ever act on these thoughts, I'm just saying this for the sake of argument.


I could probably go on a bit more but it's 2:28am... way past bed time.

umm and rights being lost, its slow, but its sure...

1st AMENDMENT FREEDOM OF SPEECH
• The Patriot Act broadly expands the official definition of
terrorism, so that many domestic groups that engage in
nonviolent civil disobedience could very well find themselves
labeled as terrorists.
• The Government may now prosecute librarians or keepers
of any other records if they reveal that the government
requested information on their clients or members in the
course of an investigation. It has become a crime for these
individuals to try to safeguard your privacy or to tell you
that you are under investigation.

1st AMENDMENT FREEDOM OF ASSOCIATION
• Government agents may now monitor the First Amendment protected
activities of religious and political institutions, and
then infiltrate these groups with no suspicion of criminal
activity. This is a return to domestic spying on law-abiding
religious and political groups.
• You may now be the subject of a government investigation
simply because of the political, activist, or advocacy
groups you are involved in, or the statements you make
within these groups.
1st AMENDMENT RIGHT TO ACCESS
GOVERNMENT INFORMATION
• A U.S. Department of Justice directive actively encourages
federal, state, and local officials to resist and/or limit access
to government records through Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA) requests.
• The Government has conducted immigration hearings in
secret behind closed doors. Such proceedings were once
open to the public. Hundreds, if not thousands, of immigrants
have already been deported in secret.


4th AMENDMENT FREEDOM FROM UNREASONABLE
SEARCHES &SEIZURES
• Law Enforcement authorities may now conduct secret searches and wiretaps in your home or office
without showing “probable cause.” They need only to claim that intelligence gathering is “a significant
purpose” of their intrusion, even when the primary goal is ordinary law enforcement. They may also
monitor where and to whom you send and receive e-mail, or where you go on the Internet, recording
every e-mail address and website you have been in contact with.
• Law Enforcement may now demand any personal records held by any source including your doctor,
employer, accountant, or library. All they have to do is claim that it is related to an investigation into
“terrorism.” The record keepers may not reveal that your records were provided to the government.
• Judicial oversight of secret searches has been effectively minimized. The Patriot Act directs judges to
consent to secret searches based only on the Government’s assertion that a “significant” purpose of
an investigation is gathering information related to “terrorism,” as the government defines it.
I honestly have no problem with any of that. I have nothing to hide. As far as information, anybody else can steal it quite easily. Google has history of my internet search results.

Anybody, including american citizens, that are deemed terrorist by the government, can be arrested and prosecuted accordingly, with no right to be heard in court or infront of a judge.
That sucks. But again though, I'm not active in politics, I don't run any government hate organizations, I have no reason to be targeted. Chances are highly unlikely that someone like me will be picked up by black vans for terrorist activities.

edit: last quote in previous post had nothing to do with joining the military. lol, i wont either. had to do with being american, upholding your rights so you or your grandchildren can live free and comfortable one day.
I know you didn't mention the military at all but to me, it's the same thing. There are those that support it and want to be active in defending it. A lot of people join the military to preserve american rights. Very close together point. I don't bother getting involved in any of it. I'll avoid a semi-long rant on the military for now though.

You raise some good points without flaming soupcakes. Props to you for that.

I voice my opinion as well, just in different ways. Most importantly with my dollar. I support what I wish to support and live my life according to what I believe. While I wish others had the same ideals, I can't force that on them. I certainly don't believe calling representatives will do anything and even if it did, they can still be outnumbered by other representatives as far a voting. Without getting into my beliefs, I live in an area where the majority of those around me obviously don't uphold the same reasoning and beliefs that I do. I'm outnumbered in voicing my opinion thus it's pointless. Sure I could rally others that think alike and start a movement but that's a lot of time that cuts into my life and there's no guarantee that things will change. Thus, I just live my life how I choose, supporting what I can with my dollar and living within my beliefs.

I'm opposite of you on the news subject. I think the only news that would have merit is the local news. It's local to your area and is news about what is happening directly around you. With that said, I don't pay any attention to local news but I still think it has more purpose than global news. Global news is just more crap going wrong that you have absolutely no control over. Inflation this, gas prices that. Oh, Iran's got some nukes. Great. Nothing you can do about it. Why be knowledgeable about something depressing when there's nothing you can do to remedy it? Learn something you can actually use in every day life instead.

As for the constitution *shrug* I'm not sure how our rights are being restricted. I have free speach, I can own a gun, I can vote.

For your last quote, to me, it's the same thing as the military. I won't join in but there's plenty of others that will and that's great for them. They're doing what they think is right and ultimately, that's what it's all about. I'd rather enjoy life than try to fix a system that is so fucked up it would be better to start from scratch.


*EDIT*
Cool rocks. I agree with every one of those. We need a lot less people on the planet, especially the stupid ones.

Not the best mentality. Can't say you're wrong though.

I know. I would like to see change in the world. A lot of change. But I've realized that there's a ton of idiots and a lot of barriers to break through just to get the smallest amount of improvement. Even then, "improvement" is different person to person. You think you're improving something and out of nowhere comes a huge mob of people that are all raged. It's just not worth wasting any part of your life trying to inform yourself or better anything in the government or politics. Once you realize that, you can move onto the important stuff in life.
