What Someone Should Make Options

It would be nice if someone made fully stocked towns or bases that where not zipped up and could be used in the mission editor.

I seem to spend time creating towns full of people or soldiers. If there was a town already created I could just merge my units to raid or do missions against bases.

Like having traffic or active highways pre-built to save time when creating urban missions.

Hummm.....just an idea.

This was done extensively in OFP... Karhu did something similar for ArmA called "Bases over Saharini" (though it was more oriented towards military objects, rather than civil ones)

Can only two of these, I seem to remeber a much larger project though
Set of bases over entire island
Prison Camp

The main problem is with prefab objects is that larger constructs generally don't tend to work well on uneven terrain, which limits their usefulness.

hmm given me a nice idea for a set of addon based scripts. Will have to plan this out and start work on it when I've got some more free time on my hands.

Mark if you read this expect to have some fun in RTE whenever I'm not working ^^

Hey Guys thanks for the replies.

I have been out of town, is why soon long to reply.

Pretty much what I mean is (and this may not be possible) If while in the mission editor I have a town , or airstrip or whatever, that is already standard on the map included in Arma2.

When I create a mission I have to place enemy units around the air strip or whatever and then make the patrol or stand guard or (again) whatever. Then I place some civilians and traffic around the map.

It would be nice is if those guards, civilians, traffic had already been created in a mission that I could open in the editor and then create a mission. All I have to do is add my units. Thus saving me time from setting up the guards, patrols, civis, traffic.

This would be great for me to make missions fast.

Maybe that is what you guys understood me to say in my first post...not sure.

Is it possible to create a mission and then save it without making an .pbo that could be distributed to be opened in the editor and added to?

Yes, there's no reason you couldn't do that.

Also, please note this is the ArmA mission editing section, if you wish to discuss ArmA.2 we have a relevant section for that elsewhere. I won't move this thread because it's still relevant for ArmA, but bear this in mind.
