Que? xD
jonnypesadilla 10 Apr, 2024 @ 7:02pm 
hay que poner barandillas en los edificios, son muy peligroso por que podes resbalarte y caer en medio una horda...

zombies wont spawn, all of the required mods are installed.... anyone got clues?

Has this mission been updated recently?

Very good atmosphere and some jump scares. Really felt the dread.
Sadly some error messags during gameplay: "sound file not found".
Also it was a bit hard to find all the evidence / clues. Even though I looked in every nook and cranny at the scenes I was. I give it a 4 / 5 score.

Make sure the Nato Rus weapons CBA is installed and enabled correctly, and it should work, based on the error message.

I got all the mods but I assume one of the mods has updated their assets so it can't get the correct box?

>> /mission.sqm/Mission/Entities/Item533.type : Vehicle Class Box_mas_us_rifle_Wps_F no longer exists

I got this error either MP or SP, both machines, as I was going to play with my Wife. Recalling how cool this was back in 2016 when i played it.

Love the climate of the mission and replaying it once in a while but it seriously needs the mods updating to just CUP which has much better and up to date assets. CWR3 would be ideal as you could put down actual Soviet soldiers and make it feel like 1980's. I also feel like couple more enemy squads would be a bit more challenging as they are not that hard to defeat even when playing solo. Anyway great job on the mission itself.

How do i blow up the AA lol

Superbly done mission, very atmospheric, Carpenter himself would approve.

Seconding what RedRevReyn said, amazing game with an obvious love for the film
PHANTOM  [author] 24 Mar, 2023 @ 9:38pm 
Awesome, glad this classic ride still holds up!
RedRevReyn 24 Mar, 2023 @ 9:34pm 
Some friends and I played this tonight and two of us are huge fans of "The Thing" and it really shows that either you are too or you just don't half-ass stuff. Either way this was great, best game I've played in a while.
PHANTOM  [author] 17 Feb, 2023 @ 11:49am 
Kinda, sorta. However, I'm sure he'll enjoy the mission and still be very shocked by the movie.
WolFFinE 17 Feb, 2023 @ 11:15am 
Are there any The Thing 1982 movie spoilers? I want to play this with my friend who didnt watch the whole movie yet.

@PHANTOM
Hi, would you consider to switch from NATO_Rus_Weapons_CBA to maybe CUP WEAPONS? The key check for NRW is faulty and the auto seems absent.
Majestyk 31 Dec, 2022 @ 10:19am 
Really enjoy the climate of the mission. It would be nice if it got updated to use CWR so that it feels like actual 1982.
Nahaul 22 Aug, 2022 @ 4:54pm 
When i tried playing it the Insert Heli would just fly up into the sky and would intact go backwards, even tried restarting.

MP doesn't work. After selecting the roles the game kicks you back to the mission selection screen
PHANTOM  [author] 18 Mar, 2022 @ 6:55pm 
Hello, sorry for the late update, it appears Armaholic has been down for quite a long time, so I updated the mission and updated the mod list, so the proper map would be easily installed. Only tested on SP so far, I'm sure MP will work fine, either way let me know how it goes.

Enjoy!

How do you start a scenario like this when hosting?
YeoldeKnight 12 Dec, 2021 @ 8:24am 
This is probably one of the best scenarios I've ever played, nice job!

Замечательный мод )) Вот как мы проходили :https://youtu.be/HhobSWdhFPs

Таинственная атмосфера Антарктиды и в тоже время жуткая, внушает трепет на протяжении всего времени прохождения, самый сок что это продолжения в игре фильма (Нечто) после всех событий, да было замечательно пройти ее.

^ Yes, it appears the link it dead for the moment. Try this one. Haven't tested it though, let me know how it goes both in SP and MP.

Armaholic Link does not work anymore, does anyone have another url?
PHANTOM  [author] 26 May, 2021 @ 5:23pm 
Make sure the map is installed and enabled correctly. The map link is on the main description. If that doesn't work send me a friend request ;-)
Winchester 23 Apr, 2021 @ 3:55am 
Dang cant play this anymore for somereason, keeps saying its dependable on removed addons TAC VESTS, even tho i have it and have reinstalled it multiple times ._.
White Rabbit 18 Apr, 2021 @ 11:42am 
This scenario is so good, I had no issues with anything it worked perfectly, I watched both movies and got some of the references from them so it was nostalgic to play, It was good that there was always enemies to fight when moving to the next objective so there wasn't any boring moment. I think other than seeing modern russian vehicles nothing else took me out of the 80's mood. The guns and equipment really compliment the setting. All in all a MUST play scenario! Great job!
PHANTOM  [author] 8 Apr, 2021 @ 8:20pm 
Have to make sure all mods are installed and enabled. Including the map from the Armaholic link.
JRToken 2 Apr, 2021 @ 7:18pm 
Great Preview. Good Work!

This was a really amazing scenario. Two friends who played together didn't watch the original movie, but as soon as they finished this scenario, they said they would be satisfied and watch the original movie. I'm planning to play again this evening by adding one friend from this video and another friend who knows the original movie. It was a great scenario. You even used it all up without any unnecessary space on the map! And The fuel runs out at the right time! I can feel that you studied this scenario so that people who play it don't feel uncomfortable!
ミトラ 13 Feb, 2021 @ 10:32pm 
I'm going to play with my friends this evening. Thank you for making such a great scenario.

How many players is this mission for?
Oddball-47 Ronin 19 Oct, 2020 @ 1:37pm 
I got an error message using both the CBA variant and the non-CBA. I had a similar problem with the RCMP Police Mod in another mission so I changed my server.cfg setting for "verify signatures" to "0" instead of the original "2". That allowed me to play it on the server. Gona try this one with the same configuration and see if that allows the server to run it.

Is that the cover art of the book Phantom Sun?
Oddball-47 Ronin 16 Oct, 2020 @ 3:07pm 
Hi Phantom, I'm really excited to give this a whirl, but my Arma 3 server is really not liking the Nato_Rus_Weapons_CBA mod. I keep getting a key error for it. Do you recommend I try the -non- CBA version of that mod or will that interfere with the mission mechanics?
