    Fishmap is in the wgp archive, available from their own board if your a kai user. Not sure why they no longer want to list here.

    If you can't get something just name it here and I can relist perhaps, they haven't said no to that.

    Everything is in that archive the most comprehensive archive for arma 2 at least, over 1500 things listed and they're still uploading stuff when they have time.

     

    If it doesn't show up I'll list it this weekend.

    I was playing around with Reforger a little when visiting my brother over the weekend. He doesn't like Reforger much and to be honest I don't care to much for it either, however it is pretty though.

    But I can see where BI are pushing the game, make things fit younger players, which will probably seem easier to them, as they came through school doing computer studies or whatever. Problem is many of us old players (over 50/60), have a problem with tech like that.

    The 2d editor in arma 2 which our group uses and have gotten used to for over 15yrs, isn't as friendly as arma 3's eden, but both are fairly straight forward to use, with basic scripting here and there.

     

    I'm sure given time the new engine and mission editor (should there be one), will seem easier after being used for some time, but lots of us oldies don't want to have to re-learn stuff. I'm glad we stuck with arma 2 it does everything we need without taking time from gaming to much.

    A2 has a built-in 3D editor. He's talking about a mod - M3Editor by Maca134 (unless there was another one).

    Yes there was a 3d built in but not used, had to tickle some keys to get into it. But if I recall there was a modder that expanded it.

    Ctrl-E for the stock one.

    Also dont know if anyone remembers but there was a modder who basically built a makeshift 3d editor before Eden even came out

    Yep we have that for arma 2 although don't use it now. I like the 2d still for 2.

    I bought it even tho I mainly play SP, and mess around in the editor, because I wanted to support BI, and see the new game engine. I'm not sure how much I'll play the game long term, but I'm happy with my purchase.

     

    As far as everyone wanting a Eden like editor ingame, it will never happen. Any ingame editor will have to be made for consoles, which you could never make a proper mission on. There's no way to have a proper interface, and do scripting on console, so any ingame editor will be very simplistic.

     

    What we need is a proper Eden like editor included in the tools for PC.  

    Your right concerning the editor, although they had a very reasonable editor in ofp-elite on the original xbox iirc. Nowhere near like the pc version (ofp) of that time of course. Consoles have moved on a pace over the years, so they should get a good editor for arma 4, should arma 4 be on console.

     

    As to getting reforger or not. I got over helping the cause a while back, I have all the titles in this series inc ofp-elite (xbox) & all dlc's, plus TOH, TOM, CC even ylands, I stopped at that.

    No not this Reforger, there would have to be good ai to even consider it, which by all accounts so far, it hasn't got.

     

    But I watch the videos and its pretty, but that was the least of the things I wanted really.

     

    I couldn't vote on the poll, not sure I'll get 4 yet, if I'm still alive and kicking to bother or indeed remember.

    WGP will either have those up or they will be up at some stage in the Arma 2 thread here on the forums. Just have to look through.

    Also up there will be the IRA if the Irish troubles is an era your wanting.

    Infact everything arma 2 related will be on wgp's archive we would imagine, knowing their data base for this series esp arma 2/oa/dlc's.

     

    Edit: TRH could be BAOR iirc.

    BI forum echo chamber is actually a very small portion of player base.

    Yes your right, this forum makes up a small portion of the playerbase I would think.

     

    I come from the continous wargaming side of the series. We play v's ai almost always and use a points system to progress sides within the world. We work within a limited number of terrains, but more than enough to build a comprehensive gaming world.

     

    I don't think there is any actual right or wrong way to play the series, with the editor you can develop a way to play that suits you and your friends playing style. That is the beauty of the series in general I think.

    To be truthful, health is what will stop quite a few from playing, probably dexterity issues.

    I think on the whole players are probably at the older end of the gaming scale. So those that played ofp and each version beyond that, who perhaps were in their 20/30/40's when it came out, are pushing anywhere between 40-60+ yrs old now.

    I'm at the top end of that scale and age helps very few of us, dexterity wise.

    on youtube surely, where else could I see it... there are several videos going around there.

    Edit:
    I withdraw what I said, I was going to put one or two example videos but I didn't find any, some time ago there were several videos.
    So I guess someone else has told him about KAI, or thinking in a conspiracy way is someone who was asking for KAI and never managed to get it and now he created a new user for that reason (?)😁

    Yeah there are very few videos about now.

     

    Our group got it really through word of mouth via the wargaming network. We looked at the website they had up (2015'ish) and saw the 40+ videos they had on there, plus all the written information and we were hooked. Luckily we got in, mainly because we play that style of game.

    I can't give any worthwhile info on the mod regards how to get it, because I don't think they are taking any more groups on. That is why I put him/her/them, direct to the right source.

     

    There are a couple of old videos still knocking around from way back, but they're so out of date they're not worth bothering with.

    Most of the videos are on the community board.

    I would wait for zen 4 at the end of the year, according to rumors there will be a 3D cache. But at the moment, alder lake is showing tremendous performance. For me personally, this is enough, I can safely play on a 3840x1080 120Hz monitor with good graphics quality, and now the fps almost never drops below a comfortable value (80 fps) even though I use not the fastest malloc (CMA_x64 works with battleye)

    Yeah, I hear what your saying, I will probably wait until later in the year.

    We play mainly arma2 so I'm in no rush.

    Hi there!
     

    @dadax Since I consider myself to be in the market to maybe upgrade my CPU this or next cycle I'm really interested in your performance tests on ArmA!
    My current system runs on an i7-7700K, oc''ed to 5GHz - so I presume there indeed is quite a bit of headroom to be gained these days, if I'm reading things right?
     

    Me too. I need to upgrade this new year, so interested in as many results as pos.
