HEY!!!

i'm always around pal.. i live i breathe.. that's about all i do ha... nah, jokes aside..
i like what you have done here, was along time coming and in the making, finally it's here...

finally i see a name for your project, it's LOUD AI... is it complete or are you still working on it?
it's nice to still see people i know here keeping SC alive.

im just here tonight as i am going to just zip up everything i have here regards to SC and post it... maybe someone will
find it useful at some point...

I moved onto arma scripting when i left FA.. havent actually looked at that code either for about 2 months LOL...
learned other things also... none of it useful sadly...

hope your good pal..

I'm quite well thank you and still working on this.

I have to thank you for all the work you did, as, at least for me, you were one of my mentors that provided a lot of groundwork for what followed afterwards.

My most sincere thanks and I wish you success in whatever the future holds for you.

No thanks needed pal thank you for you're kind words bit I think we all learned from each other hope your future is good also

G'day mate, Domino! a fan of your work from way back from GPG forums (RIP). I Would love to go through all of the your SC/FA files and have a play around with it. Loved Beam fences, sliding shields, and many other goodies, etc. So yeah, please do a zip up of all your stuff. You had some great ideas.
Thanks dude

I'll post it all later today

Hi, would you guys considering adding a scaled UI for 4k? everything is too small to function, can't even read chat text.

Hi, would you guys considering adding a scaled UI for 4k? everything is too small to function, can't even read chat text.

Why not try doing it you're self pal.. if I remember correctly when a ui element is created it is scaled anyway in most cases..

If you don't know where to start look at the layout files, pick one element like the construction bar and try to resize or move it.... lol

Ummm tbh in layouts the files reference elements in other layout/element files it's not easy to understand for some people ...

I could actually tell you a really easy way to add new layouts without scripting knowledge.. as in another mod the support exists already where you can just create a table or 2, saved in a certain folder structure in your mod folder, all you would actually need to do is copy the files for the layout you want to use ... like uef and alter the size n position of each element you want to change..

Never really understood why the devs used parenting for the ui stuff, over complicates things so much...

Anyway...

Hi.

I am unable to install LOUD.

The updater seems to be unable to download env.scd and units.scd. I retried many times, started the updater with admin privilege, deleted the whole game and re-downloaded it from Steam, tried again many times but it still wont work. I dont think the download reaches 100% (more like 35-70%) in the small "download progress" window.

I've seen that other people had the same problem (around page 23 of this forum I think) and if i am correct they fixed the issue by downloading the files manually from somewhere else but the links either don't work anymore or are not the latest so the updater will still try to update them anyway.
I also tried to start the game with the "not up to date" env.scd and units.scd but then no player spawn.

Any help?

Here is my log if it can help find the problem.

Thank you in advance.
