Ive been expirimenting to get HDR which is only affected by time, not by the stance of the sun. <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">setAperture (50^(date select 3)) If you put then in a soldiers init, does it still happen? (Note that this isnt a real fix, just wondering if it still happens then) Well it seems to be fixed now after I did a driver clean-out and installed the official nvidia drivers (not that I think it was an issue with NGO drivers [the drivers I was using before], I just wanted to be safe) Seems to be stable now, haven't had a CTD for a while, but the FPS is a lot worse than what it was when using NGO's drivers - the thing is I'm scared to test them out again! But no doubt I will today or tomorrow Thanks for the help I'll post here again if stuff gets bad again

Uuuuuch it just gets worse and worse doesn't it? Not only do I have CTD's which I never had before with 1.05 or 1.07, I now get some seizure-inducing HDR bug... When it crashes to desktop, I sometimes get an error message saying: "Createindexbuffer failed ([some 880808080 number])" - Any ideas? But that HDR bug is terrible.. If I was epileptic, I'd be a dead man right about now. The screen will erupt into crazed white flashings if I so much as look at the sun at a certain angle. Two screen taken during one of these seizure-inducing eruptions: It doesn't happen if I have my setting right down, but it wouldn't, would it?

Cheers for the help guys, it's all working now No need for the xml now osteo, the ofp one seems to work fine

I downloaded shoot the other day but couldn't for the life of me work out how to use it @Osteo: *cheeky* I wonder if you could upload that .xml anywhere and give just a brief explanation of how Shoot works if its not too hard? I'd love to get commanding in ArmA with a voice program Thanks alot

Quick heads-up guys, after about an hour of painstaking checking and changing, the 3 addons I had that conflicted with the 1.07 and 1.08 patches were: The older Vilas addons The BMD addon The Danish Forces addons (the one with the special land rover) Hope it helps someone

"Yay!" I thought after my 2 hour download came to an end, "finally I'll be able to play 1.08 after all the hype!" "ArmA is not installed on your system or installation is damaged" - Excuse me? I think you'll find ArmA is installed Mr. Patch! So what the hell, I try without any modified files in the ArmA main folder, try again, same stuff. So I do a complete reinstall. Now I'm struggling with the 1.05 Patch.. Said there was en error with sara.pbo, so another install and let's hope it goes well this time! Wish me luck! I don't want to wait another 2 hours for 1.05 to download again if this one doesn't work..

Cheers for the heads-up Maruk

If you dont have anythint to add, dont post There's a picture of a BIS fanboys addon WIP in the Photography thread Nice pics all btw @Bob: Why do you make a new post for each pic nice pics though

Hey I was wondering if there is any way to simulate ambient anti-aircraft fire? (Tracers darting over the sky) from a shilka/ vulcan/ whatever Basically I'm making a mission in which you must silence an AA battery and an effect such as that would look pretty awesome as you approach combined with cent's tracers They would need to be firing for long periods/ bursts and not just targetting different objects and firing directly at them if you know what I mean Think Gulf war footage over Baghdad basically I searched extensively here and on OFPEC, but no luck Anyone know how to simulate this kind of effect? Thanks

lol, ok thanks dude

BIS Awesome list there, can't wait

Very nice indeed, that's pretty much perfect Apart from that they do actually fire in every direction, even at the ground 50m in front of them for prolonged periods Is there any way to make them fire only at certain angles or something? ie. only up in 45 degree arcs? Great work though so far, thanks a bunch

w00t! Cheers Matt

I was thinking along those lines, but the target would have to move by itself and be invincible etc Thats really the part that's going to be a bit tricky (ie. I have no idea how to do that :P )

*Riotous applause* Well said Deadmeat

FACT: It wasn't. How will whining about it help it? Just be thankful you have the option of patches. We all know that's how stuff goes with OFP/ ArmA- it's been like this since OFP first came out. If you don't like BIS' way of doing things, you know what you can do I'm afraid.. As I said, just be thankful it's possible for it to be fixed!

It's a pity that this thread's going to get locked now because of a few whiners who saw the perfect chance to take a dig at BIS. According to you lot, if someone disagrees with you - whether they have a productive point or not - or in fact in any way defends BIS against your mostly unfounded views, they are a fanboy. If that makes me a "fanboy", so be it. (Apparently enjoying a game and accepting the way BIS do things is a crime, punishable with the oh-so overused label of fanboy..) One question I'm sure all us "fanboys" would love to know is: If you do hate the game so much, and have such great issues as to continue posting about them ad infinitum - why the hell are you still here!?

It's enough to counter your argument by saying ArmA has 16+ on the box. BIS' ass is covered - not their fault if the kids are too young/ immature to discover the patches. I'm not saying it's an excuse, but you need to consider the scale of ArmA [which I'm not going to explain now, it's been done to death]. If you had your way, the game would not even be released now - hell, not even in the near future. The game would be released when patch 1.99 comes out - a year? 2 years? Would that please you? Sorry, with a game like this, it just doesn't work like that. I, for one, am happy with the patch system - I'm sure I'm not the only one

Nice pics all "Fire for effect!" <span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'>(Click for full size + quality)</span> "SF Patrol" <span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'>(Click for full size + quality)</span> CMcD's Units

Does anyone know if this patch will fix the issues with using addons? Would be nice to have all my addons playable after such a long time in 1.07b

We all knew you could do it BIS - making an already awesome game better and better! Really looking forward to this Cheers BIS

Only just seen this - very nice mission! Really had my heart pumping! 4.5/5 from me

nvm

Yeah, awesome angle Parvus

@The guys who are having good performance with 7950gt's Could you please say which drivers you're using? Especially R3MF: I have 2 7950GT's and I can't even do that :O What drivers are you using?
