rfc 10 Posted April 7, 2010 (edited) Hi, is there a digital cheat sheetavailable for the default keyboard layout setting? Something nice for to browser or PDF to which I could quickly alt-tab during gameplay would be nice. The in-game controls menu is not very usable to quickly find something when you're in a hurry :) I tried with Google finding things here or somewhere else, but as soon as you have ArmA 2 and the word cheat connected, things are getting really bad ... thanks ps: omg, don't ask why this is in "Suggestion", was meant to be in "General" of course :/ Edited April 7, 2010 by rfc wtf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Laqueesha 474 Posted April 8, 2010 If I recall correctly, a "cheat sheat" was included with ArmA 2, packaged with the game itself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zdavid99 10 Posted April 8, 2010 If I recall correctly, a "cheat sheat" was included with ArmA 2, packaged with the game itself. i dont know if there's a standalone sheet but you have the keyboard layout in the manual. In the manual after the game credits there is a quick start guide in your local language which have a the KB layout called "the most important infantry controls".

Tankbuster 1747 Posted April 8, 2010 I'm confused. In what way is this cheating? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jblackrupert 14 Posted April 8, 2010 The DVD copy comes with one thats where that image above was scanned from. It's made of cardstock and folds so you can place in on your desk and flip it around to whatever controls you need... Infrantry... Vehicles...etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrbinkels 10 Posted April 8, 2010 I'm confused. In what way is this cheating? It's not being used in the literal term as meaning to cheat. In this particular instance it means a set of notes or quick reference. Gotta love the English, err I mean American language. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rfc 10 Posted April 8, 2010 Nice, thanks very much! I don't have the manual, I'm still evaluating the demo version. But it looks like I gonna buy it ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jblackrupert 14 Posted April 9, 2010 The game with patches is much improved from the Demo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rfc 10 Posted April 9, 2010 (edited) Thanks. I've already decided to buy it, unfortunately I was unsuccessful to find a (trustworthy) site to buy the English version which will ship to Austria. I'm wondering ... will the German version have switchable locales? I just can't stand German translations ... Edited April 9, 2010 by rfc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rfc 10 Posted April 9, 2010 (edited) English version is €17 atwww.Amazon.de? Yes, but for whatever reason it's not shipping to my location (Vienna, Austria). It's not Amazon directly but a merchant, could be a mistake, I don't know. Anyway, I guess it's fair to contact the merchant ask him, what I did now. Can't wait for the response.

BeerHunter 0 Posted April 10, 2010 SNR , that's about as useless as the rest of the so called manual. Appreciate you posting it but it doesn't show , for example , all the commands that fall UNDER the complex commands. There is a PDF over on TG's forums somewhere. It's for ArmA1 but can be modified for ArmA2 with a wee bit of effort. (I loaded it into Adobe and changed it to suite my needs). Just another frustrating example of a lack of any meaningful documentation is missing from this game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ladlon 10 Posted April 11, 2010 @PogMoThoin: Excellent! I was looking for that myself! Ya, the other manuals just show the 'top layer' of the menu tree. I THOUGHT I saw a full listing of the sub-trees somewhere, but couldn't find it again. This radio commands part is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!

galzohar 31 Posted April 11, 2010 Now we need an app that will take your custom keys and turn them into a cheat sheet as well :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tankbuster 1747 Posted April 11, 2010 (edited) Good resource PogMo. Image bookmarked, saved and printed. Is there a vehicles version? Edited April 11, 2010 by Tankbuster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've already decided to buy it, unfortunately I was unsuccessful to find a (trustworthy) site to buy the English version which will ship to Austria.I'm wondering ... will the German version have switchable locales? I just can't stand German translations ... I buy my games on Play.*** free delivery to France/€urope, never had any problems. I also have a German version of the game, which has not as of yet been opened up to English, Although there are mods that take care of that to some degree. Might help, might not.

old_painless 183 Posted April 12, 2010 What a great keyboard layout - thanks! By the way, is it the Arma1 version ? Easiest way of buying the game is electronically (as download) from impulsedriven.com or Steam.com -OP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rfc 10 Posted April 14, 2010 Received my copy today, the controls are included in the manual but they're integrated, not separate. So the posted images are still the way to go, thanks :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
loyalguard 15 Posted April 14, 2010 What a great keyboard layout - thanks! By the way, is it the Arma1 version ? Yes, it is the A1 version. I put it together for Tactical Gamer when I was first getting familiar with A1 in 2007. So, action key changes in A2 (for example "V" for stepover) are not reflected on this sheet.

Rough Knight 9 Posted April 20, 2010 Hey Loyalguard, Thanks for that layout, it very useful Is there much work or do you have any interest in making \ adapting it to a A2 version? If you have the template, hopefully it could be done easily. It would be very much apprecaited by us noobs. Just a thought. Thanks Frosty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
loyalguard 15 Posted April 21, 2010 No promises, but I will try to work on an A2 version this weekend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rough Knight 9 Posted April 22, 2010 Thanks mate, I hope your relatives, girlfirend/ wife, etc leave you alone this weekend so you can help the community : ) Thanks Frosty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
loyalguard 15 Posted April 27, 2010 Well, your wishes for me to have a distraction free weekend did not come to fruition, but, here is a first draft of an A2 version. Please let me know if there are any typos, errors, etc. Once confirmed clean. I will link to the .ppt file I used to make it in case people want to customize: http://img532.imageshack.us/img532/1814/a2keylayout.png Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
