Kev 0 Posted May 22, 2007 Hi all, sorry for asking but it needs to be once again. What is up with Oxygen3Light & Visitor 3? Any new infos from BIS or Publisher. Any new possible release date for the tools? We need the tools. There are allready mod teams given up. Please BIS talk to us ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
abs 2 Posted May 22, 2007 There are allready mod teams given up. Perhaps it's the pessimist in me, but something tells me that the lack of tools aren't what caused those mod teams to give up...I'm sure their failures are based on deeper-rooted reasons. Personally, I'd still love to get access to the tools. Until then, God knows I have a lot of work that needs to be done before I can even put the tools to use, so I don't mind waiting.

Blue_Flight 0 Posted May 23, 2007 I was about to start a similar topic and i can only appeal to the moderators that they let the thread stay open because it´s very important for the community to know what´s going on. Only a bit of info please Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Abs exactly my opinion. It is already possible to get your models ingame (still with some litlle limitations). And i think there are so many posers who are just crying around and blaming the mod tools for their incompetence. And Afaik the .p3d files currently used in arma are encrypted anway so there wont be the possibility to edit bis models when bis doesnt releases a converter. I guess that takes already 50% of the "mods" away. edit: typo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VladAlex 0 Posted May 27, 2007 Hey ! Loock at the Arma editing forum !!!!!! Arma modeling and Arma map editing are OPEN ! Why ? Maybe the tools are near to be release ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JdB 151 Posted May 27, 2007 Hey ! Loock at the Arma editing forum !!!!!! Arma modeling and Arma map editing are OPEN ! Why ? Maybe the tools are near to be release ! No, because someone asked them to be opened, since you can, as mentioned by .Jonny above, bring stuff ingame, and alot of people that are already working on ArmA addons use 3rd party programs. This thread will more than likely either get no response from BIS and a lock put on it by a moderator, or an "as soon as possible" response followed by a lock put on it by a developer. You would get the same response by e-mail, which causes less "heartattacks" by suggesting that you actually have new information regarding the tools (as the threadtitle does now)...

Unleashed2k 0 Posted May 27, 2007 Hopefully an SDK will be out before patch 1.09. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VladAlex 0 Posted May 27, 2007 Before 1.09 My god ! How do you know this ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
granQ 293 Posted May 27, 2007 Before 1.09 My god ! How do you know this ? he doesnt. The reason why we "need" the tools, or atleast more info is that the current stuff being released is not up to arma standard... Its "wasted" energy (not really but kinda) for people doing alot of hard work trying to get stuff working when the tools are there.. i mean Sahrani wasn't made with wrptool and hexediting for sure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MehMan 0 Posted May 27, 2007 Yeah, some new fresh info besides it'll be done when it's done would be great. It's a bit disappointing to hear nothing about the tools about a month after the US release. I'm not asking for the tools, just some info on their status or something.

It's a bit disappointing to hear nothing about the tools about a month after the US release. I'm not asking for the tools, just some info on their status or something. You want info about the tools ? tools are finished since the beginning of arma developpement (they have done the game with them)... and they are certainly waiting to release a few commercial extension to the game before making a few limited tools available to the public... remember OFP Fortunately.. there is some way to make what we need without the news tools.. so the non availability of those tools are actually only a reason for a lot of people to do and to try nothing...

kronzky 5 Posted May 29, 2007 Just as with any other release by BI, the announcements will be made as soon as a release date is set. And not any earlier... I can tell you this about the release date though -- and that's that the tools will be released as soon as they're ready... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
