Working hard and in mostly silence on some background stuff for Army Ops.

Here is a short video of joining a Army Ops dedicated Server from the new Main Menu:


In the earliest days of Army Ops  I used the old AA2 Menu Theme as placeholder and some of you mentioned Army Ops needs a modern looking menu. Well here it is. Or at leasts parts of it, I'm currently working (when I have some time) on the Settings menu.

A lot of things have changed regarding the project setup in the last days and will change in the upcoming day (Publisher, Project Scope, Release Plan, ...). I try to write veryithing up and post it here as soon as possible.

I need your suppoert now more then ever!

Make sure to follow Army Ops on Facebook:

If I find the time I try to make a short livestream on Facebook this or next weekend (but can't promise).

Dedicated server is up an running!



This moment marks a very important point in Army Ops development. For the first time a dedicated server is up and running.

This is a major step toward the first test session.

KEAPs 133 are you in the possision to make respawn on 2.5 and 2.8.5  P.v.P and Bots maps  to puth on and out in game!!

Can you please explain a bit more what you mean?

I had some time today and did work on Army Ops even if it wasn't planned to this month.
I was able to add a "simple" but powerfull and flexible Class Selection.

Demonstration:

There are currently 3 different classes available for each team:
- Assault
- Medic
- Scout

At the current time classes serve only the purpose to have different weapons and player models and no ther mechanics. Even if one class is called Medic, there is currently no Medic System implemented (but will come).

Everything is very early work in progress and nothing of the classes is final. It's just a early test filled with placeholder content.

What my goal is:
I want to bring back the medic system like in AA 2 with the class and loadout system of Proving Grounds.
I'm getting rid of the Squads as they didn't make a big difference in gameplay and choose the more flexible version of Proving Grounds.

Why? Because it's more flexible and allows to setup different gamemodes a lot easier.

Sounds very good.
I would just request the feature that there is no crosshair - at all! Not even a dot! As if one always has a sniper in hand, because a crosshair is not realistic, a soldier can never keep aim in a certain area.
Additionally if possible make the aim, when not aiming through sight, to not necessarily be in the centre, there needs to be a dispersion area. This will prevent people shooting without aiming through sight, as in reality, shooting without aim is highly inaccurate - the way it's supposed to be

Good luck!

It already works exactly like you described it. The Weapon Mechanics are the same from Beyond Enemy Lines 2 (Army Ops Singleplayer).

There is no crosshair the gun works the same as in real life. the projectile follows the direction of the barrel -> each move and animation change where a 100% accurate projectile would go.

Looks nice and thanks for the offer

I'm using a own custom UE4 with Plugins and the Project it self is Blueprint ownly as all core features are on engine level. I'm working on this Project with a publisher and the official project start is summer 2018 but I could not resist getting started.

I'll let you know when I could use some help
