granQ 293 Posted February 24, 2015 So me and my friend often discuss how editing made traveling with bus/train in Sweden so weird as you spend much time staring out the window to see things like: "how is the object density in the forests? what is the ground clutter? whats the typical height of trees in garden?" There are sooo many examples on how brain washed/damaged I become since first starting editing OFP and thought could be fun to hear yours. So first I will share some stuff that I done due to editing. - Removed my ear protection when an APC rolled by during an exercise to "hear what it really sounds like", it opened fire luckily not with the 20 mm but the 7.62 mm. (also my assignment actually changed since a Sgt liked our mod) - Written scripts on paper, while drinking beer on a beach in Thailand. - Bicycled to the edge of the village just to take a photo of a sign for the game. - Studied how snow falls on a vehicle for making more real textures - Committed bug fixes from 10 000 meters (why stop editing just because you flying?) and last I will share a longer story. I went to Mexico for 6 months for exchange studies without a gaming laptop, all I had was a small thing (one of the first netbooks) that I used for school. One day I got a letter from a guy that wanted to do a radar and some other stuff with some scripts but he didn't knew anything about arma editing. So we developed a workflow where he sent me a model on email, I did the config, codes and scripts. Sent the file to a guy in Sweden (Vort) that tried it ingame, and then told me the error messages. Note, sometimes it was a simple ; missing. Sometimes it was "didn't get anything error but didn't see any markers?" and I redid the thing. It was one of the funniest things I done, even if the end result wasn't very complicated it took some time and 3 people to solve it over the timezones and I couldn't even see it ingame. My then girlfriend started to get jealous because I was spending way too much time emailing "that swedish guy" rather than spending time with her, so I had to do my editing in school during the breaks and in the morning before she woke up... In the end we had like zero use of this but like I said, one of my funniest editing moments. Now please share your stories :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
