ARMA 1.08-No rifles after patch

Recommended Posts

After installing 1.08, a mission I made comes up with all soldiers that originally had rifles, no longer do. Their pistols and AT weapons are still on them though.

Anybody else have this problem?

I have the German version, and I downloaded and installed the International Update.

So far I have 3 problems that ruin a mission I've spent 200 hours on:

1. New faces assigned.

2. Rifles missing.

3. Soldiers arriving too soon or too late in cutscenes, which screws up all my hardwork in camera placement.

This is not cool.

remove all 3rd party addons from your main addon folder, disable all mod folder, test them one by one to see which cause "losing gun" problem

cutscreen problem are caused by config difference, notthing could be done

now is there somebody could hand me a gun? i'm going to start shooting stuff pistols.gif

I suggest you try to debug that issue somewhere in the mission editor. reconstruct at least one of the units who lack arms ( rofl.gif ) and check what will come.

Uninstall the game.

Reinstall it.

Install patch 1.05.

Install patch 1.08.

Never again put 3rd party addons in the ArmA\Addons folder.

4 in 1:  Thanks alot man.  Removing all my addons from the addon folder (there were 6:  3 vilas ones, 2 editor addons, and Mapfact_Misc) solved this issue.  I will have to systematically put them back to determine which one caused the problem.

I don't understand how addons phuk over all missions, and not just the missions that use the addons...

after your problems i thought you'd probbaly figure that it's best not to put any addons in the addon folder. rather create new folders (for example @mapfact with a another folder in it called Addons and then drop the addons in that addons folder) and reference them when running arma by using a @addoname in the startup shortcut on screen.

AFAIK It's just vilas' addons causing the problem, I removed them and the 1.07 beta worked, so it will here smile_o.gif

He's also made a config fix for 1.07+ so you can use them.
