in the INIT.sqs file of your mission, write:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">titleCut ["","BLACK IN",99999999999]

~5

titleCut ["","BLACK IN",10]

You have created the init.sqs in your mission folder and used shift+preview in editor when you test it ?

I'm surprised your init works at all.. is it at sqs or sqf?

Anyways try mine this indeed should work

TitleCut ["","BLACK OUT",0.1]

~5

TitleCut ["","BLACK IN",5]

[Linker Split 0]

TitleCut ["","BLACK OUT",0.1]

~5

TitleCut ["","BLACK IN",5]

lol good this one Matt, instead of put BLACK IN to 99999999999, you put BLACK OUT to 0.1!  

yes it works cause is pretti the same

anyway, strange that you get a slight delay before black screen kicks in ...

in OFP this didn't happened... maybe ArmA get this bug...

cause the init.sqs is loaded as first file in the mission with mission.sqm...

hey mate ..

youre not alone im having similar probs

PROBLEM SOLVED (I think)

In OFP, there were a bug in the mission editor, that when you preview your mission, there's a little delay and then the screen becomes black... this bug doesn't happen when you save the mission and you test it in the missions menu, like the ones made by BIS...

Maybe is the same here... try anyway... I don't have ArmA (better, I unistalled it today, it doesn't run smooth)

Albeit unrelated but when I made slow motion videos the script I use begins with dark for around 5 seconds ... but that's only because I slow down time ...

"player exec "camera.sqs"; showCinemaBorder false; setAccTime 0.003"

hi lads...

ive tried everything recomended to me but i still get a slight delay before black screen ...

has anyone else noticed this ??

my init sqs is ( as recommended by matt)

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">TitleCut ["","BLACK OUT",0.1]

~5

TitleCut ["","BLACK IN",5]

In the editor, or the exported mission ?

in both of them mate ..

i can get around it by creating a small intro .. but its a lot of clart on for a black screen ..
