Any updates on the BIS tools?

Recommended Posts

Just wondering if anyone from BIS could let us know if there is a possibility on an update to the tools?

So far the release of the ArmA2 tools are not as polished as those for ArmA1 on at least 2 major issues that i see.

First there is BINpbo wich generaly feels buggy but more disapointingly doesn't remember settings like the ArmA1 release did.

And secondly the make convex function in the new release of O2 translates as delete?? Its curious that a handy function such as this should break from one version to the other and has forced me to continue working with the ArmA1 tools and swap to the ArmA2 tools to finish up.

Huh? Mine doesn't forget the last settings I had.

Its funny, I have exact opposite - had problems with V3 and A1/XP, now everything working fine with V3 A2/W7HomePremium.

As I already mentioned, I would gladly sign NDA for new tools to contribute to the community ;)

Ah must be my setup then, Vista 64 Ultimate. Like I said no problems with the previous tools. Feels like its going to be a bitch to find the answer for, I've tried fresh downloads and reinstalls, installing to various drives and fruitless poking for user info references/configs, I'm sure the problem is there somewhere.

Though at least I can still work around the problems.

I run Win7 64bit, so Vista64 shouldn't be a problem

To be honest, the tools run for me with FAR LESS errors/crashes than they did with XP pro LOL

I skipped modding for Arma1 entirely (I was doing a PhD at the time), so returning to things at the end of A1 era / beginning of A2 I was actually pleasantly surprised by the newest tools release in general... it's a whole lot more together and coherent than I remember OFP toolkits being...

There's glaring quirks here and there you just have to learn from experience to avoid... theres functions that clearly are meant to work, but don't... but on the whole I've quite enjoyed the new tools so far... However, it doesn't mean I wouldn't like the nicer ones I know BIS happen to have! :)

Put me down for a +1 on that vote...
