AA 2.5

[BTs_Mysterio]

Any change with the 10.4.1 drivers? (from anyone who plays AA)

[Typhy]

OK, Hospital is the exception - it runs like shit.

1.5GHZ Powerbook G4, 2GB RAM, 128MB ATI Radeon 9700 ( Overclocked about 10% ).

AA doesn't support wide screen resolutions, so I'm running at 1024x768, max graphics and decals. Actually runs slightly nicer on my laptop than it does downstairs on my parent's Dual 2.5.

Best performance is probably at Insurgent Camp, I get right around 50 outside, but constant 80 inside.

There's just one problem - I hate AA.

[BTs_Mysterio]

(typhy has this weird thing about insisting his Powerbook is faster than any G5)

[Typhy]

OK. . . The G5 smokes it on everything else, just to dismiss that illinformed and stupid attempt to start something.

[BTs_Mysterio]

You must have downgraded the G5 graphics card to the NVIDIA shit-end.

Good news for mac AA players..... sounds like the mac version of 2.4 is on its way soon:

ArmyOps:
Mac version just went out to the MacNinjas for beta testing.

lol, that message has been on Icculus' blog since at least a month.

quick question, a while ago when i updated to 2.3 i suddenly lost the ability to be a advanced marksman (sniper) ... i had done all my training and was able to select the kit before, then suddenly its all greyed out... So i went back and re-did my training just incase that was the problem, and it clearly says ive passed all the training... the damn kit is still greyed out though, can anyone shed some light?

[BFG]

barrrgh, found it finally, just incase anyone ever has the same problem (sab this ones for u):

Are you a qualified sniper but you simply cant seem to be able to select the adv. marksman class in game?

The system now checks both marksman score AND sniper training. If you redid rifle range for practising purpose while scoring less than 36 while at the same time uploading the result, the system will keep your less than 36 score instead of your best score...

You will have to REDO rifle range and score at least 36 in that case in order to be able to select sniper in game.

Please be also aware of the fact, that there has to be a minimum number of players on the server in order to open the adv marksman slot.
Plus: there are several maps that simply don't have a sniper, eg pipeline, HQ Raid

do i make myself clear?

Rohr out

Also there is a bug in the new maps (Urban assault and Woodland Outpost) where you loose the sniper after a few rounds.

ie. you join a server you take the sniper spot, as soon as you get a few kills with the sniper you'll loose it in the next or second round following the one where you killed someone. Its a bug, cause afterwards you'll get like 4 or 5 nades and the m4, while you normally only have one nade.

If you don't take the sniper spot from the moment you join the server, you'll only have a limited amount of rounds to still take it. I think its around 2 rounds, afterwards you won't be able to take the spot either.

[BFG]

heh, well i went and re-did my training (again) 38 should do the trick...

[Supernatural Pie]

blah. I want 2.4

[BFG]

Aarrgh, to late, apparetnly (even though it was in last testing) 2.4 for mac has been skipped - and we have to wait for 2.5 with everyone else.

that said, the servers are so much nicer now without everyone else!

[Civrock]

Maybe even a release for Mac and PC at or at least around the same time, that'd be a first.

[l33t_Guest]

blah. I want 2.4

Well, I guess youll just have to deal with 2.5 snipe. 

Straight from the Dev's

If you aren't playing v2.5.0 within the next few weeks, then something came up that delayed the release a bit. Don't worry, we'll fix it and get it out as soon as possible. Some other good news is that the v2.5 Mac & Linux ports are in full testing right now, and will also be released 'soon'..

[BFG]

Indeed Voodoo, sorry sorry,  i mean 'leet guest'

The infamous "soon" however... soon next month, soon next year, soon next time your flying on a blue pig that is singing the Belgium national anthem backwards.

How does the Belgium National Anthem go again?  I'll have to start practicing so I can play it backwards for you when v2.5 comes out.

Arise, you prisoners of starvation!
Arise, you wretched of the earth!
For justice thunders condemnation:
A better world's in birth!
No more tradition's chains shall bind us,
Arise, you slaves, no more in thrall!
The earth shall rise on new foundations:
We have been naught, we shall be all!

'Tis the final conflict;
Let each stand in their place!
The international working class
Shall be the human race.

We want no condescending saviors
To rule us from their judgment hall,
We workers ask not for their favors
Let us consult for all:
To make the thief disgorge his booty,
To free the spirit from its cell,
We must ourselves decide our duty,
We must decide and do it well.

'Tis the final conflict;
Let each stand in their place!
The international working class
Shall be the human race.

Ooooops, That is The Internationale.
Sorry you had to read that socialist propaganda

Thanks mate, appreciate it. Now then, anyone got a blue flying pig i can borrow?

[Civrock]

lol, in Germany we have a drink (like Red Bull, but much cheaper) with a picture of a flying blue pig (actually wearing a blue superman costume) on the can, called "Flying Pig". Nice coincidence.


Edit: Changed title to AA 2.5.
