More than 2 mission parameters?

[galzohar 31]

As far as I could tell you're limited to only 2 options in the mission parameters... Is there any way to give more options without blending them together to the same option (which results in a long list of combinations)?

What are these "mission parameters" you are talking about?

Alas no, which is one of the reasons I'd like the isAdmin feature in Arma2. That way the mission designer could allow the admin to set parameters from inside the mission

I'd rather just have them fix the mission creation interface... Not only you're limited to 2 parameters, but also mission names are very limited in (visible) length. Again this is purely a UI issue which is very annoying since it can easily be fixed.

There's only so much screen real-estate. Even if they bumped up the number of dialogs to 5, there'd always be someone who wanted a 6th. The alternative would be to change the lobby UI completely and implement something like tabs ;-)

Yep, trying to keep naming conventions correct, my version numbers at the end of name do not show in UI.

co_09 Op_Wildfire pt_01 v_01

co_09 Op_Wildfire pt_02 v_01

co_09 Op_Wildfire pt_03 v_01

I had originally a longer main title name, but had to think a new 1 up.

This just fits, but not ideal:

co_09 Op_Wildfire pt_1 v_1

You can always make it scrollable, you know, just like when a

 section in the forums is too long you get to scroll through it rather than having it take up your whole screen. Same for mission names (though here it'd probably be enough to just stretch the interface to actually use up your monitor and not 5% of it).

Is it possible to have an option as an array? When I tried it it crashed, so I thought using array as values for param1 was not possible, but then when I changed it to just have numerical values it is still crashing:

titleParam1 = "Starting distance, time limit";
valuesParam1[] = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20};
defValueParam1 = 5; 
textsParam1[] = {"300m, 3 minutes", "500m, 3 minutes", "750m, 3 minutes",
	"300m, 5 minutes", "500m, 5 minutes", "750m, 5 minutes", "1000m, 5 minutes", "2000m, 7 minutes",
	"500m, 9 minutes", '750m, 9 minutes", "1000m, 9 minutes", "1500m, 9 minutes", "2000m, 9 minutes", "2500m, 9 minutes", "3000m, 9 minutes"};

Saying something about '.' : '/' encountered instead of '='
