Oh, yeah. That was me. (damn ego ) They got it a bit mistranslated though.

Also, sent a mail to Eurogamer and Gamespot (which NEVER replies)

A plague on both your houses!

Just shut up and make me some decent fucking modding tools already.

Fix'd

Interesting interview with Marek: Clickeh!

Glad it's getting BI (and Arma II) some publicity

Quote[/b] ]as the rhapsody goes: “I am just a poor boy, I need no sympathy, because I am easy come, easy go, a little high, little low, anyway the wind blows, doesn’t really matter to me…â€, to end on classic Queen quote.

That part made me smile.

They used to (gamespot). I used to be an active forum member there... I first subscribed there about 3-4 years back and they pretty much answered any questions I had... not anymore

I just notice the mission editor of ofp:dr which seems some what promising

Hope BI would notice and try harder to improve ARMA2 editing tools and mission editor too

If there were a bunch of simple commands that could be implemented in the editor accompanied by a short, real time demonstration on how to use it without any use of scripts - it would ignite an insane amount of interest and you would have thousands of little mission makers just playing around on their own and a lot of others would branch out into the world of MP

Looking at the EgoTech video it looks good (although at 2:00 is that a bunny hop the AI is doing?! ), but the comment at the end - about 'pawning the enemy' - leaves me alittle worried that they're influences are more Counter Strike than the original Flashpoint because no self respecting Flashpoint fan would utter such a profanity.

It does indeed.

Ofcourse there is this small risk that n00b designers don't get nothing out of it. They open it, look at huge amounts of buttons and menu bars and stuff... And quits it as tool looks too powerful and too complicated to learn easily. I've had those weak moments with atleast Vietcong, Farcry, Crysis + Oblivion's and Morrowind's modding tools.

Only editors which i've used are simple ones. There might be more deeper, but first impression has to be this: "Hey! I can handle this in hour or two". ArmA/OFP's editor is good example of this, simple at start but very advanced (and complex) in the end.

Maybe they should at least keep the beginner mode as simple as possible.

There seems to be some sort of helping system integrated in the Arma 2 editor.

Dunno how comprehensive it will be though.

(Thanks Rickjames)

[De_little_Bubi 1]

in the interview on gc08 they said, that there will be sample code for a lot of commands. so editor noobs (like me^^) got something to play with

i think its great

[dentist guba 0]

how about a 3D editior, as far as i know BIS still plan to have one.

well, if modders can creat one on their own then i see no huge problem for BI to build one and hardcorded into the game

Quote[/b] ]yeah a 3d part in the mission editor where you can fine tune the placement of already placed objects.

Would make placement of soldiers and other smaller objects in urban areas much easier  

ops wrong thread :P thought it was arma 2 :P

[Lepardi 0]

Yeah that would make mission editing so much easier and you don't have to waste time in placing units.

Looking at the tech demo again, what award did the Ego actually win?

[Balschoiw 0]

It´s a variant of the engine used in Colin McRae: DiRT™ and Race Driver: GRID™ that both won awards.

An engine itself hardly ever wins an award, but the games that base on an engine do.

[Deadfast 43]

I know that, but transferring the awards to the successor is a bit weird.

That's like automatically calling OFP2 Game of the Year

[Commando84 0]

yeah its marketing thing, if the engine's been used in other sucessful titles people will notice it easier

Theres new info over at CM, a few new previews are out and the community manager has answered to some concerns.

 

[Grimnirsson 0]

Very promising previews, seems CM is going to make it right

And it will definitely come to the consoles as well and at the same time as the PC version

BI...don't make any mistakes now...

Grim

[mr.g-c 6]

The wounding + Repair System sounds interesting, but thats it about that new infos.

But yes i hope we wont see the odd magical healing and magic repairs like we had in OFP1 and Arma1.
