I haven't played OFP in a while but isn't that mission on Malden, not Everon? If you have Everon loaded it will probably not load the mission... |

Not to rain on your parade, but these online petitions simply don't do anything. I wouldn't be surprised if BI Studios never even sees it. I say this because there are literally thousands of petitions for things like this on the web, and not a single one has produced a result. Bohemia Interactive has no financial incentive to port ArmA to Linux. It costs money to do that, and the benefits probably do not outweigh the costs. I don't have that much experience with linux, but can't you just run ArmA through Wine? If not, you'll have to dual boot linux with XP or Vista. |

The answer may be simpler than any of you think.... First object starts with zero CODE _unit = this select 0 |

Well, go to options and turn off "Super AI" or whatever its called. I suggest you patch to 1.14 at least also. While the highest is 1.16 you don't really need it. |

As I say often about the Farcry/crysis games: Great engines, sh*tty games. I thought Crysis was pretty bad being repetitive and boring, but Farcry 2 takes the awful cake. |

It would help to know what other hardware you are using because it could be caused by any number of things. Try right clicking "My computer" and go to "manage", then "Event viewer" >>> "windows logs" >>> "applications". It will show a list of all the errors and crashes your computer has experienced for a while, see if any of them are caused by Armed Assault and look through that for information. I'm not 100% sure, but I think the new SLI-out-of-the-box (2 cards in one) graphics cards like the GTX200 series are inherently unstable in a game like this that doesn't use SLI at all, which is why I bought an 8800 GTX which is the fastest single card you can buy short of an 8800 ultra. |

1.) Use this body armor script, you can set people to be invulnerable with no bugs. http://ofpec.com/ed_depot/index.php?action...0&game=ArmA 3.) Use this artillery script http://ofpec.com/ed_depot/index.php?action...7&game=ArmA 4.) Use the setvelocity command to force the car to drive through the barricade. |

Well if your copying (respawn code here) it will not work because thats not the code to respawn... you have to substitute the code for that there. |

QUOTE Error random: Type Object, expected Number This error results from the script expecting a number where you specified a player name. You ran the script with [q1,q2,150,200] exec "respawn.sqs", and that does not work, it must be run like [q1, 200]. You need to change the script to make it work like the way you specified.

I have that addon but I haven't done any heavy scripting with it. I suggest you download other missions and take a peek at their scripts, because i'm pretty sure this has been done before. That addon as I remember, has mission-specific parameters you can set that deletes bodies after a specific time (or random time if you want) so you can probably leave that out of the script. If you can't find a script that works, you can try and adapt a script I made for generating random targets within a circle for anti aircraft units to target to simulate flak. What i'm getting at is that you can just reconfigure the script to generate random respawn points with a 100-200 meter circle. Heres where to download the original script if you want that. This is how I would do it. CODE //To run, use // [playernames, radiusinmeters] exec "respawn.sqs" _player = _this select 0 _radius = _this select 1 #Respawnzombies _a= getpos _player select 0 _b= getpos _player select 1 _gap=random _radius _direction=random 360 _x = _a +((cos _direction)*_gap) _y = _b +((sin _direction)*_gap) _player (respawn code here) [_x,_y,0] goto "Respawnzombies" exit |

Coop is alot more enjoyable with a few friends or at least people you've played with before. Same with Warfare. What you want to do is find a few good servers with gamemodes you like, and stick with those, because sometimes they usually have the same people on from day to day. I haven't done any multiplayer in a while, but there were a few that were consistently good. I used to play some server called TCB Evolution or something, it was a german website but most of them speak english, good team players. I stuck with that for a while. I always hated some servers like the Sahrani Life game type servers, those people never work together and just harass you. Find something you like and avoid the ones you don't. |

Great addon as far as i've seen. Glad to see now that the western side has a dedicated anti air vehicle other than the outdated m163 VADS. And since theres an SA-6 gainful addon out there too for the SLA, its pretty much balanced. |

www.ofpec.com has a in-game animation viewer that will give you a list of all the game animations and lets you view what they do. I think its called OFPEC Game Viewer, at least thats what the download folder is called. |

I dont see how patch 1.15 is responsible for that. You could try doing this: Go to "mydocuments/arma/arma.cfg" and open that with notepad. Change the resolution there This is mine. CODE language="English"; adapter=-1; 3D_Performance=12000.000000; Resolution_W=1280; Resolution_H=1024; Resolution_Bpp=32; refresh=60; FSAA=0; HDRPrecision=8; lastDeviceId="4318,401,578492913"; localVRAM=794083328; nonlocalVRAM=258998271; winX=0; winY=0; winW=1280; winH=997; winDefW=1280; winDefH=1024; You may only need to change these to fit your resolution, or a few other ones as well. Like so. CODE Resolution_W=1920; Resolution_H=1200; |

Write a script to check how much ammo is left, and if ammo is around 5% then use that setvehicleammo code to add more. |

To relocate an object, you use this syntax CODE _object setpos position ;or to be exact, or to move the object to the position and off to the side. "getpos _position select 0" is X coordinates, ;1 is y coordinates and 2 is z coordinates. That means 0 changes left/right, 1 is forward/backward, 2 is up/down. _object setpos [(getpos _position select 0), (getpos _position select 1), (getpos _position select 2) +5] ;This moves an object to position 5 meters above the position, like a bomb free falling. To loop animations CODE #AnimLoop _unit playmove "animation" goto "AnimLoop" And you can still find that tail rotor script on OFPEC, its in the forums though. Here it is CODE ; tail-rotor fail script by Vektorboson ; SYNTAX ; [CHOPPER, <RANDOMKILLS, MAXKILLS>] exec "effects\tailrotor.sqs" ; CHOPPER is the helicopter ; RANDOMKILLS is either true or false (random people are killed) ; MAXKILLS is maximum of randomkills _heli = _this select 0 _random = true _maxkills = 4 ?count _this == 2: _random = _this select 1; _maxkills = 4 ?count _this == 3: _random = _this select 1; _maxkills = _this select 2 _AddDir = 0.1 ~(random 1) #loop _dir = getDir _heli ?_AddDir < 5: _AddDir = _AddDir + 0.05 _heli setDir (_dir + _AddDir) _v = Velocity _heli _heli setVelocity [((_v select 0) / 1.001), ((_v select 1) / 1.001), -5] drop ["cl_basic", "", "Billboard", 7, 7, _enginePos, [0,0,0], 0, 1, 1, 0.001, [1,5], [[0,0,0,0],[0,0,0,0.7],[0,0,0,0]], [0], 0.1, 0.2, "", "", _heli] ~0.01 ?getPos _heli select 2 > 2: goto "loop" ?alive _heli: _heli setDammage 0.8; _heli setFuel 0 ?!alive _heli: exit ?!_random: exit ; now the randomkills _crew = crew _heli _c = count _crew _i = 0 _kills = 0 #crew _unit = _crew select _i ?random 1 > 0.8 && _unit != player: _unit setdammage (random 1) ?random 1 > 0.8 && _unit != player && _kills < _maxkills: _unit setdammage 1; _kills = _kills + 1 _i = _i + 1 ?_i < _c: goto "crew" I took out a few lines that were meant for OFP, not ArmA, they just created debris when the chopper was hit. |

You have to understand that ArmA probably wasn't made with the huge funding you would see in another game. They used pretty much the same engine since Flashpoint because game engines are expensive. The way the game is coded determines how well it runs. Theres no multi core support, and no SLI support, so spending more money on those things won't help you. The fact that you can get 60 frames a second with 3000 meters of view distance is surprising enough to me not to complain about it. The texture loading issue is a pain in the ass sometimes, but thats what you get for Dynamic level of detail scaling. That pretty much means that it scales the quality based on view distance, the closer the better, the farther the worse. Alot of games do that, Call of duty 4, fallout 3... Also how you run the game determines how well it runs, turning on things like anti-aliasing x4 means you need 4 times as much GPU speed to run it as AA off In fact, ArmA runs better than Flashpoint does on my computer, I get less than 30 frames per second on flashpoint. |
