This is a re-vamped version of Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising called Joint Operations: Tactical Assault Coalition.
It is NOT a part of Novalogic! This is a small but growing community trying to revive Joint Ops.
You can get more information from their website HERE.
They are also having a major revival event with cash prizes!
Sign up now and join the fun!

NOTE: Installation has changed due to copyright issues!
Before continuing, you will need to install/buy Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising installed from Steam ($20 USD)
I am currently in the process of discussing being able to use your own copy of JO:TR if you still have the original CDs so you won't have to buy it from Steam.
If you have your original JO:TR CDs you may want to wait (and check back often) until we sort out a way to use that installation instead of Steam.

Hit 'Register' and they will send you information to create an account and to download and install the game.
Note: You may need to do this 2 times! (Not sure why the first time you hit 'Register' it doesn't work - ReCaptcha spam issue maybe.)
You will download jotac_installer.zip

Go into the \jotac_installer\ folder and click on JOTAC_INSTALLER.exe to begin the installation.

Click 'Agree to..blah..blah..blah' and select where you would like to install the game. (Default location is recommended.)
Install JO:TR from Steam
Click 'Install'. This will download and install the patched JO:TAC game files over your JO:TR install.
Once completed, click on the desktop icon for Joint Operations Tactical Assault Coalition. This will start the game updater/loader and you will need to do a couple updates.
Click on the game icon again and this will load the game and open the Account Creation form.  (-AS- Members use your in game player name WITH tags: PlayerName-AS-

Most of their servers are PvP (TDM) and I haven't found any coop servers yet.

There are a few ways to bind keys in America's Army.

1. Game Settings (In game) - The in game settings menu
   
2. Enter them in the Console (In game) - Open the console and manually enter a bind
   
3. Edit User.ini - Edit the User.ini file (Always make a backup!)
   

1. Game Settings:

• While the game is loaded, you can change the default (Basic) key binds (Movement, Chat, Reload, Etc.)
  

2. Console:

• While the game is loaded, you can use the game Console to manually change most key binds or enter custom key binds: ` key (Next to the 1 on most keyboards)
  

1. Open the Console
   
2. Enter your key bind:
   
3. Example: bind 1 reload
   
4. Example: bind 1 mpcheat class sf
   
5. Hit Enter to save it.
   

3.  Edit the User.ini:

• While the game is CLOSED, you can manually edit or add custom key binds
  

1. Right click the America's Army game icon on your desktop and select 'Open file location'
   
2. Find the User.ini file and open/edit it with your favorite text editor (notepad will work fine)
   
3. Make a backup of it before you make any changes by selecting File > Save As > User-orig.ini  (I use User-orig.ini - it's easy to remember and will be right next to the original alphabetically.)
   
4. Scroll down until you see [Engine.Input] - This is where the key binds start
   
5. The keyboard binds start with 0= and end with NumPadPeriod=
   
6. As you scroll down, you will see the available keys and what they are bound to or empty (You can change any of them)
   
7. To set a bind, just find the key you want to use and add or change whatever is after the = sign to your custom bind
   
8. Save
   
9. Make a backup of your custom binds named User-custom.ini and close everything
   
10. Open the game, join a server and test them out!
    

Examples of custom Tadmin and mpcheat key binds:

• Comma=mutate beadmin
  
• Minus=mutate endgame
  
• Period=mpcheat paramsammo 01
  
• Backslash=mpcheat class spr
  

NOTE: If you make any more changes remember to update your backup file after testing.

Now, if you screwed something up (like hit 'reset' in the in-game settings) or for some reason your key binds disappear, you can just open either User-orig.ini or User-custom.ini and select all then copy and paste everything into the User.ini file and restart your game!

Open console in game and type in bind k mpcheat class sf

I use K for my bind, but you could bind to any key you prefer. You only need to bind the key one time and its set to that key.

Make sure you have mpcheat paramsammo 1 enabled.

Find a wall that shows bullets decals when you fire into it.

Stay on single fire, crouch and walk against the wall while firing single shots. Press the binded key as you fire and it will spawn new rifle in your hands.

Continue to fire and press you binded key, until you do not see muzzle flash when firing, but you still see bullet decals hitting the wall and your ammo count is not depleting. This usually takes me 4 to 5 presses of my binded key while firing for it to work.

Make sure you stay on single fire and press g to change to 203's.

You will now have unlimited 203's, unless you get a rifle jam. Then you just have to do the whole process again.

• Turn it on/off to disable/enable the touchpad.
  
• Uncheck 'Leave touchpad on when a mouse is connected' so it will auto-enable if you disconnect your mouse.
