>>>>> ALBUMS More in SPOILER >>>>> MEDIAS Share a nice fly video by TomClothier. Thank you Tom!

Same as me, I don't think it can be fix until the new tools (or maybe new methods) is coming. I'm working on my island and use ArmA2 rocks, they are works fine. you can check the screen shots here

@MemphisBelle Thanks, but overrate. I think every people who making new island post here just need approval and constructive feedbacks from others. I just want appreciate Smoke's fast work and use his thread to share mine. I think we can use this thread to focus on all the WIP islands. It's good for saving forum resources. Cheers

Nice one smoke! We really need new islands. ok share the result of my work. I started to make these islands a few days before, based on real/reparative GIS data. They are called Diaoyu Islands, of China. Pictures are greater than 100KB, so click them. The Diaoyu Islands aerial photographs and ingame screenshot Bei/Nan Xiaodao Islands One more Two more Diaoyu Islands Huangwei Yu Island Diaoyu Island coast Viewdistance 12,000m，frame at 40+ May be the smaller pictures look better. The original ones are clear sawtooth. But real-time game rendering is nice to me. Perhaps the picture quality are lost. The following are close shot,Viewdistance 8,000m,average frame 30+. Ingame close shot1 Ingame close shot2 Ingame close shot3 Ingame close shot4 Ingame close shot5 When BI released the new vistor tools, I might improve a bit and then released. Now Vistor use A3 objects/rock/plants are not correct. My spec

This is Fromz ArmA Linker for Bohemia Interactive military games ArmA 2:Operation Arrowhead, ArmA 2: Reinforcements and Arma 2: Combined Operations (Doesn't support vanilla ArmA II) At present, the program is still in the concept design phase, so in order to introduce the application functions, I released a simple edition today, Fromz ArmA Linker: GPS. Update Version 1.0.1 Beta: Application will give you update download link automaticly if you have the Ver 1.0 Beta already) > Changed the working files' directory to be more open and more stable. > Still need to add parameters in ArmA II launcher or shortcut. -mod=@fromz\falgps > No need follow the apps open order like Version 1.00 required, you can run arma2oa.exe or falgps.exe first as you wish. Main functions of the GPS edition: 1. In Send Mode (TX), this will get and analyse the game data of a PC running ArmA II, and send the analyzed data out of ArmA II's world, and display the data in a simulated GPS interface. The whole process is real-time (With a max frequency of 2hz). This data includes: 2. In TX mode, this will transmit the data in real-time to any custom defined online device (PC only at the moment) which is running Fromz ArmA Linker in Receiving Mode (RX). If this computer is running in RX, there is no need to install ArmA II at all. 3. In RX mode, this will receive the data from a remote computer and display it on the interface in real-time. 4. The receiving device will allow you to use the GPS to assist navigation. The GPS will give you the right direction to your destination, distance from destination, and in your current moving speed, and the ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival). 5. An IP detector will detect the other side's network state (Ping, TX detection of RX one, and RX detection of TX one) 6. This will display the current ArmA II program state, and automatically judge your ArmA II version. This application needs ArmA II OA/RFT/CO 1.6 official version, or it may not be able to run. 7. This will automatically identify both Chinese and English interface and allow manual switching The application is able to automatically detect updates. Install: Download, Unpack (Copy the whole @fromz folder into your ArmA II directory, falgps.exe can run standalone), and add -mod=@fromz\falgps to your path. Operate steps: 1. Start this application, if running with ArmA II, choose TX, if not, choose (RX) 2. Run this application first, then start ArmA II. 3. If you get in any mission or mission editor as a player, this application should be working. (With TX) 4. If you only have one PC and no need send to another, just forget receiving mode. 5. If you want to send the data to your UMPC or something like that, then run this application in RX on your UMPC. and set the IP of UMPC in your TX PC. 6. At this point, your ArmA II should be running with send mode GPS, showing data, and transmitting to the receiving mode device at the same time. 7. Right now you can use either device to set destinations, Just press F1 to add a new destination coordinate. Typical steps： Special note: Windows 7 users need administrator rights to run this application the first time (In order to registration), or you will have an error. After that, you don't have to use administrator privileges. A few antivirus softwares may report the program as as a Trojan, just stop this application, or add it to the trust list. due to the fact that th application has been compressed. And if you don't want this, wait for update release, it should no virus report anymore. The application on the PC running ArmA II needs to be in TX. An application on a PC running ArmA II should never be in RX The program was designed and developed by Fromz individually, using a Freeware License. Use this software at your own risk. The program needs a workable network. Modifying, decompiling without permission, and commercial and military use is prohibited. Download: Go to my Website or Direct Download BTW: Beta WIP work, Forgive for the bugs and my English. Cheers fromz

The process way of version 1.0 beta is not very appropriate and stable. and sorry for doubts. .dll and .pbo are just from inside files decompression, lacking manner of working. I packed them into exe file and want no need use -mod parameters, forget about server signatures key verify. I'll update the process way tonight, some thing like odd .pbo and .dll will not cerate and used any more. a "@fromz\falgps" folder will used instead and you have to add parameters manually. and also, key files is added. App will prompt you download update. Thanks for the remind, Sickboy and Dwarden, I'm just an artist befor and just have a smattering knowledge of programming, So I'll try them soon. Update Version 1.0.1 Beta: (Application will give you update download link automaticly if you have the Ver 1.0 Beta already) > Change the working files' directory, more open and more stable > Have to add parameters in arma2 launcher or shortcut -mod=@fromz\falgps > No need follow apps open order as Version 1.0.0 required, you can run arma2oa.exe or falgps.exe first like free rein

This application can help you approach to the destination efficient without in-game GPS in all missions, and provide additional navigation capabilities. This application is also a demo to show the Fromz ArmA Linker functions: Link data out of ArmA2 world and may put data into ArmA2 world in future. I'm not familiar with the smartphone applications development at present , may learn it someday. if possible I still want let ArmA2 contact with smartphone instead another PC. We can imagine more purposes: Such as Fromz ArmA Linker: VTS, Real-time situation map, AAR(Save game running data to file and replay).or Link ArmA2 with other game, i.e. Lock on. That means may ArmA2 multiplayer can link online to Lock on/ArmA1/TOH multiplayer in "same custom terrain" or "divergent focus battlefield". Of course, These are just only feasible in technology, has not been actual test. I'll working on that with our expected direction.

OK, there are just our family private plots. which grow little mushrooms. :D

You foreigners is impossible to fully understand China's things, like we Chinese people can't fully understand ourself. Wise person wouldn't be easily assertions anything.

Backup your project everyday pls. And hope you can finish the great project :)

Yes, I think there are some memory points in truck (not in missile), But I can't find them exactly. In MAZ_543_SCUD OLOD, as I sald, there are "nosnik, nosnik_axis,strelakonec, strelazacatek raketa" points, but nothing useful.

Thanks Myke! But I'm not very clearly with your explain, I don't think it's just a config problem. I use the same config I created which defines my own SCUD launch truck, no effects, just replace the "model = "\fromz_df15\df15.p3d";" to bis OA MAZ_543_SCUD_Base_EP1, the effects appeared. and I have tried your configs, But, get "No entry bin\config.bin.GLT_missileOne", Doesn't work.

How about a SCUD missile? in OA, the SCOD missile beam and smoke effect are following the missile and fly in to sky, When I creat a new comtom SCUD truck, the effect point is stick in [0,0,0] point, I tried to find the memorypoint of the scud effect (eg: nosnik, nosnik_axis,strelakonec strelazacatek raketa), but nothing useful. SCUD missile launching is just an animtion which defined in model.cfg, how to get the smoke in the correct point?

OA PLA COMBAT VIDEO VIDEO ONLINE You know, The "Great wall" resisted Youtube, So youku..:D VIDEO SCREENSHOTS Part One Part Two In ArmA II & OA Photography Thread

OK, A pure Chinese come to join the discussion. Let me tell you the truth: 1. China has a huge gap between the rich and the poor, 5% pepole hold more than 80% national fortune in their hand. 2. China seems stable, but most laboring people are living in really really big survival pressure, they will do something big one day. 3. I don't like Chinese community organization, Because they made the belief of money is our only principle. FXXX that, many many good and honest are lost. "Honesty, industry and kindness" and "silly" are pair of synonyms. I really hate that. 4. China is big, like an (little)elephant or (big)panda, but short of aggressiveness. Russian is a bear and US is more that a hawk or lion. So, anyone can bite at China to get interest, But never can bite the whole elephant down, Only the elephant can kill itself. You foreigners can set your mind at rest: Elephant is always safe, But never make provocations to make cornered elephant. More and more Chinese young pepole like me don't like the hypocritical communism. Don't misunderstand us. Leave China alone. He should care his own business.

Change all the voices to a new language is a numerous and heavy work. My configs is base on ArmA1 voices table of contents, ArmA2 is more kinds of vioces added. dub work is huge. convert and list systematically also need time. :)

Thanks feedbacks mates, I'll fix the rockets trajectory and tweaking accuracy of weapons in next patch. (ohpla 2.0.2) BTW, do you guys need a whole ohpla 2.0.2 or just need the 2.0.2 patch? I prefer the whole re-download for 2.0.2 update. Because when I revise the core data of the pla stuffs, I need change the bikey for server. and pepole who just new on this mod no need download many patchs.

Thanks a lot mates, I have all the suggestions in mind, and I'll make decision. Let's do it batter. Don't rush to a final perfect thing. It's impractical :)

About the models scale, if set to 90%, I'm afraid that some charactor animations possible to incorrect. 100% is feasible, but I don't think is needed. now is 101%- 105%, right? A2 damage system -> I'm still learning and no can do full of them. Invisible transport chopper weapon -> I think I have told you, in the left side. Soldier Light -> It's exactly soldier unarmed. M99 is big, I should make a new handanim batter than lower it down. PLA doesn't shoot US vehicles -> I think they do, you can put a offical OPFOR or Independent soldier and try agian, They are SAME to pla setting. I'll fix the most voted bugs priority, My roles in reallife made me quite busy. the mod works may set aside recently. I regret that I can't fix them all in short time. I have tried.

Six-Updater may update tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. When I finish works, I update to ACE projects server then someone will help me pack and put it in Six-updater, It's need times.

ACEXPLA and OHPLA 2.0.1 Change log: > Fixed: Soldiers long necks changed, > Added: Variety of Soldiers' Chinese faces. > Added: Chinese Mandarin vioces. > Added: Soldier Chinese names. Download the version 2.0.1 update patch for standlone version or use six-updater for the ACEXPLA @ohplaUpdate_201.7z - 37.3MB - This file is just only for standlone version! Simplely copy and replace the old ones. Mirror host please download the patch and update to 2.0.1 then host it. Thanks! Happy new years mates! - Fromz

Wow, I just desire for the CN names! Would you tell me how to add custom voices? the config is different between ArmA1. I'm much obliged to you for helping me on the mod. big help!

Yep, They are sold with copyright along. But except PLA Jets, I can make anything. WZ-10, hoho, check these: Didn't UV, texture, add details and optimize it yet. But... WZ-10 is not in active service of PLA, so, I don't like sheer fabrication it.

> Chinese Mandarin vioce is affirmatory, add in furture. > I haven't found anything wrong about HandGrenade_PLA, > I say agian, neck is changing now. at first priority, #R091227S1 Fix None have the priority of the plane. They both from original Operation Halfmoon creation. Actually I have sold the 3d model of the plane. A company buy it, so, I don't think I can release it without their permission. But I'm trying, may rebuild the model agian and change a color to release. Hope the company don't think I used their purchases. Unfortunately, I have created and sold most of the PLA Air force jet models, Include, J10, JH7A, J11/Su27, Su30MkkII, J8, J7, H6... It's a lot of money... So, If I use or rebuild (because model and texture is similar) any of them, I'm afraid that is very open to criticism. I don't wanna make trouble with myself. The PLA air force is almost impossible release in my hand and nearly nothing relativity with my mods. I'm just thinking about the jet Chengdu FC-1, It's made in China but it's not serve in pla. and it's not very good at battle effectiveness. Sigh~ hehe
