I've been playing the Quarantine 2.5 Mod (you can find it if you google, and find it on a very reputable and decent arma site. Apparently I'm not allowed to link it here. In this day and age..) but I would like to know how to edit it so I can buy more than 5 units. The mod has a shop in which you can purchase AI. It is limited to 5, after this you must wait for them to die before you can purchase more. I've searched all through the .pbo and I can't find the exact script limiting it to 5. I've done other things like added more vehicles to buy and edited the prices of things also.

Any help would be appreciated. The maker gives full rights to edit his mod.
Thanks



[§16] No distribution or advertising of work that is not your own
[§1] No discussion on game-alterations that break the EULA

The two above rules do not apply here. I must mention the mod, because it is what I have an issue with lol.. this is a forum, not a socialist parents evening.
The discussion is about a privately made mod. Does not contravine Bohemia Interactives EULA. Mentioning of Bohemia Interactive is a basic right, as they are the creators of ArmA.

[§8] Do not start threads relating to discussions on other boards

If my previous post broke the above rule.. then that is wrong. It wasn't a board. It was a mirror page. I've seen a few posts deleted on here for linking to other things, seems retarded. Why should you not be able to link in relivant things. Not a very welcoming attitude.

If the above statement breaks the following rule [§9] No public discussion on how the forum is moderated, then this is also wrong. As this isn't a discussion, rather my own opinion. A discussion would take a second persons opinion.

It is also not in breach of [§1] No Flaming/Flame-baiting, as a rule can not be flamed or feel flamed. Because it is a static piece of text, which is what my statement was aimed at. Rather than a person. biggrin.gif

Forum is forum.

What the heck are you asking about the rules?
2.16 Is referring to people distributing modified versions of other people's work without consent. You say you've got consent, so that isn't an issue.
2.1. Is definitely not an issue here. This is regarding the End User Licence Agreement for BIS's software.
2.8. You aren't starting a discussion related to another board...
2.9. Again, relevance?
1.1. Are you just reading the rules and thinking of any possible way you *might* be breaking them? You are, aren't you? Stop it! ohnoo.gif

Of course I am. Because my previous thread was locked and I wasn't told why. The only reason I could see was that I linked to another site, which seems pretty petty. As this is a forum after all. I wasn't linking to another "Board" which the rules state you can't do. I was linking to a page for a mod, a mirror page if you will. This is not a board. A board is a forum. Board meaning message board. This is why I went through every possible other rule I could of breached. And I couldn't find one. So locking my origional thread was silly really. Especially without reason. (Reason of course meaning "voiced reason (telling me what I did), official reason (going by the rules)".

I came on here to politely ask people who might know how to do something. No one reads the forum rules before first posting. Fact. I've never came across a forum in which you can't link to another site. Upon reading the rules I found no rule which my first post broke. Even in the event that something I first posted did breach one of these rules, you would think it may be overlooked due to the fact that it's sort of silly to stop someone from finding an answer to something so basic. Forums likes this are there to help people. Rules are abided/upheld by at the descretion of the moderators. Nothing in the world is going to change from locking my first post, linking or not linking, it does not matter.. more important things going on in the world lol. This is afterall a specialist scripting forum (going by the name) right?. Thats just my 21 year old attitude to life anyways!

Take care script0rz.

That's... weird... I'll leave this thread open. Your old thread seemed to have been locked by mistake. Use this one from now on.
