My most favorite tool that I use when working on computers is "Norton Removal Tool". Their software is so shitty that if you try to uninstall it from the control panel, it causes all kinds of hell with your computer. You have to run their special tool to remove it entirely.

In a weird twist of fate, installing a new graphics card, I'm having insanely dark images in-game. Didn't happen on my onboard Intel GPU but it does on AMD now. No changes in-game either.

Assist uses the default America's Army settings. Dark maps are meant to be dark, hence the lack of sunlight. You're not meant to have perfect viewing all the time. You're raising brightness to see better, basically a cheating advantage.

Looking at your screenshots, the default settings is how it's supposed to be. Have a look at this video:


That's intended. Looking at the screenshot of all settings maxed, how could you ever expect to realistically hide in that environment? NVG is there for that reason exactly, to see what you normally can't.

It's Florida, what else can you expect?

Don't take my posts as 100% truth. I may be admin but I don't do much here.

Your English is difficult to understand and I think that's part of the problem.

Then just to summarize my points:
-if you played this 3 years ago, you can have "vanilla" America`s Army install kit
-3 years ago i stopped at version 2.8.4
-by far that is not 2.5 and was usually installed in other folder then "armyops"

You cannot use 2.8.x or any version other than 2.5 for the "FIND" function. Well, you can, but it will cause all kinds of problems (maybe that's why you've run into so many?) and Assist will have to re-download the whole game anyway.

-before my first post i read some posts here (after reading the "readme") in the "readme" forum, which has given me the hint what tone i have to use
-at the moment for me still not works, yeah the update patch destroys the existing install as expected (no worries for this).

I have no idea what you mean by this.

-most possibly not the "instability" of my internet connection is the problems source for update failure as i can do anything else without any major problem

Your internet may not be the problem, I agree. The problem could be the Sourceforge mirror you're connected to. There's been other users that have had issues downloading/updating.

- as i noticed before, using the find button could be more effective, in a way than creating the 25Assist folder with armyops subfolder

The "FIND" function in Assist has been around a long time and we have tested it, it works. It simply copies the contents of the folder over.

-no offense on armyops, but install kit can be downloaded from other places, and most nowadays programs has the flexibility
-changes can be also stored on existing settings.dat file, as anyway is created, and used for storage

I have no idea what you mean by this.

-settings file is unencrypted, even without weakest possible encryption

Why would it need to be encrypted?

-the download has no ability to continue, as a download manager, if needed wget is also a sourceforge project and supports retries and continue
-speed limiter also would be handy option on download as well as peer to peer connection options

Most of the updates are per-file and they happen very fast. They're usually under 10mb a piece, sometimes down to 1 or 2mb. Even on dial-up, there's no need to resume a download. To be fair, I do remember some updates, especially the first ones (if you're coming from a vanilla install), are pretty large. Again, this would be more of a problem with your internet connection and/or the Sourceforge mirror you're connected to. A speed limiter would be a good idea, as would P2P. Somebody has to code it though and adding P2P support would be a pretty big undertaking, something that isn't warranted for the small user base we have.

Second, in this world nothing is free, nor a server or more servers. Someone pays the bill.
When peoples behaves like a community, mostly you will not find some of them that whatever they did they are over the others. Disrespect is disrespect. As i read trough this pages, not really long pages, this is what i found, whoever wrote it, so i addressed him the same way.

The problem is, you addressed the whole community with a shitty attitude in your first post. You weren't directing it towards anyone specifically. You started with the bad attitude.


I'm not above helping you if you truly want it. In writing this post and thinking of a way to help you, I think one thing we should do is zip up the current Assist installation as a whole and host it for a single download on this site. That way people don't have to go through the headache of many updates from a vanilla install. H3llr3is3r, if that's something you would like, I will do it.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think I recall your donation was under $20. You have to donate more than $20 to get the icon.
