I've solved it! The compass size (and watch and GPS!) is overrided by the CCP (Community Configuration Project) introduced with one of the latest patch. So, we can override the compass (and/or GPS and/or Watch) size with this simple code: class CfgPatches { class remover { units[] = {}; weapons[] = {}; requiredVersion = 0.100000; requiredAddons[] = {"CA_CommunityConfigurationProject_E_Gameplay_ImprovedSizeOfCompassAndGPS"}; }; }; /*extern*/ class RscObject; class RscCompass: RscObject { scale = "1 * 0.675 * (SafeZoneW Min SafeZoneH)"; // scale = "0.5 * 0.675 * (SafeZoneW Min SafeZoneH)"; --> Default positionBack[] = {0, -0.020000, 0.075000}; }; ;) Goliath

I'm trying to figure out these issue. I've found that in ui.pbo there's a redefinition of class RscCompass that set the scale to 0.44000. In bin.pbo there is another definition (maybe the first) of class RscCompass that set the scalte to 0.22000. Maybe, the code I've posted earlier, don't work because try to patch a patch of the class RscCompass. Anyone can help? Goliath

hi lawndartleo! I'm actually working on a simple mod launcher for ArmA 2 CO that will works even on Steam versions of A2OA. Maybe I will release it ASAP :D

I too was worried about the error of the Function Module so I've created a little patch for it in form of an addon. Inside it I've inserted the code suggested by Varanon and the error seems gone! I don't have tested it in depth but it seems to work! For anyone who want to try here's the pbo file which patch the original Functions Module: https://www.dropbox.com/s/3h5hxfe7u38htb4/CorePatch.pbo?dl=0 I've called it CorePatch.pbo Install it as any other addons ;)

MEDEVAC MODULE Hi guys!! I've developed a Medevac module that works in this way: - Put the 'Medevac Module' in the editor and synchronize it with the player; - The player will receive a 'Call in Medevac' action in its menu ("Call in Medevac"); - After a while a chopper (or another in-array specified vehicle) will arrive next to the player's position and ask him to throw a smoke to identify it; the player can even abort the mission by simply selecting the "Abort medevac" action appeared after calling in the chopper; - The player must throws a red smoke to permits the chopper (or vehicle) to identify the player's position and land (red smoke added via scripts so you don't need to add the smoke to the player's unit in the editor); - Two units dismount and secure the landing zone and stay near the chopper's position; - A third unit (corpsman) runs near the player's position and joins the player's group; - The player can heal himself and all his units; - When the player decides he can sends (via the action entry "Medevac RTB") the order at the corpsman to Return To Base (RTB); - Otherwise the player can use the option "Reinsert" to be reinserted anywhere in the map by simply click on it (the "Reinsert" option is available from the mission's beginning so the player can use it even if he's near the Medevac's vehicle and if he hasn't already called the Medevac); - After selected the "Medevac RTB" menu action, corpsman remounts the waiting chopper; - Only after the corpsman mounts in chopper, the other two units will mount (this is a correct military procedure); - Chopper returns to base and after a while you will re-receive the action to call another medevac chopper ("Call in Medevac"); RsUYGwgF1Zc Video by Thirdup (Thanks!) You don't need to put choppers or units in the editor but only the Medevac Module and synchronize it to the player. I've managed all the eventually accidents that may occurs during the medevac operation (chopper heavily damaged/destroyed, corpsman's dead before/after dismounted etc.) and if the chopper is hit during its manouver and lands (it don't crash/blow up), a little optional rescue mission will start. INSTALLATION 1. Extract the Medevac zip folder; 2. Put the folder @Medevac in your ArmA2's directory; 3. Put the folder 'userconfig', that you can find inside the @Medevac folder, in your ArmA2's main directory 4. Modify the desktop's shortcut with this line: -mod=@Medevac 5. Enjoy IMPORTANT You can modify the units that spawn (ie the vehicle of the Medevac) by changing the unit_array.hpp file inside the userconfig\MM folder (!!!that it must be put inside the main directory of ArmA 2!!!). You can even activate or deactivate some sounds present in the Module by modify the MM_SOUNDS global variable inside the unit_array.hpp file. Features - Now if you put in editor a Game Logic and synchronize it with the Medevac Module the chopper will spawn at the Game Logic's location. If you call in the chopper it will take off from the Game Logic's position, come to you, make all the things above and when you send it the order to RTB it will return to the Game Logic's position and land so you can use the Medevac call not only to healing you and your teammates but even to return to base via the Medevac chopper. The Game Logic can be putted, for example, in a base camp. - Now you can use the Medevac vehicle to be reinserted, by simply click on the map, from the beginning of the mission. You can even abort the reinsertion whenever you want. - To add your own units to be spawned instead vanilla's one you need to modify the corrispondent array in the ArmA 2\userconfig\MM\unit_array.hpp - Now you can activate/deactivate sounds (thanks Thedog88!) of the Medevac module by changing the corrispondent global variable in the unit_array.hpp - If you use the Medevac Module without the Game Logic synchronized to it, you can put, in the mission editor, a marker named MM_MKR1 so the chopper (or vehicle) will spawn (and disappear when it return after the Medevac action) in that position instead the default position (at the bottom left of the map). In this way you can make a faster Medevac arrival.

Hi NouberNou! If yo want I can try to help you in updating the ACRE's library (I'm a programmer)

Hi! The API error happen because you have the latest version of TS3. You have to install a previous versione like 3.0.12 or 3.0.11. Here's the link: http://ftp.4players.de/pub/hosted/ts3/releases/

Is there a possibility to update ACRE to make it compatible with latest version of TS3 and it's API?

Exactly, same bugs that prevent the ah-64 training mission of OA to complete when you have been ordered to fire Hellfire missiles on targets (you can't hear the beep of locking targets). Without beta the mission is ok.

I think that ArmA 2 is much better than ArmA 3. Beyond the graphics (ArmA 3 is far superior than ArmA 2) the gameplay of ArmA 3 is worse, in my opinion. It seems that nowadays software houses primarily dot the visual aspect and not the substance of the game itself. I personally would have gladly paid for one or more patches of ArmA 2 rather than buying ArmA 3 :j:

This is the best sound mod I've ever tried! Sonic cracks are really beautiful! Good work Konrad1!! Keep it up!!

AWESOME guys!!!! :D

Awesome snkman!!!!! :d :d

Thanks vengeance1! The MP scripting is very hard! I'll try to fix the RTB issue and add the Heal action for the medic for the next version! I really want to eliminate all the bugs!! :D

Ok thanks Monster XXX! I know about the medic that don't heal you (I have to write a simple script for it). For the second bug I've corrected it ;) Thank you!! :D ---------- Post added at 11:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 PM ---------- Ok! Can anyone, please, try this newer beta on dedi server?? :D @Medevac_beta_8.7z It still the medic that can't heal but I'm working on it. I've (hopefully) solved the n.2 bug discovered by MonsterXXX and other many bugs mentioned by vengeance1 ;) Thank you all!!

Thanks vengeance! Can you try this please? @Medevac_beta_7.7z

Thanks vengeance1!! I'll take a look! ;) ---------- Post added at 03:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:31 PM ---------- So, if I understand, you don't get the action when you have already used it. Or is it a problem of JIP (you don't get the action when enter a game already started)?

Can you, please, explain better this occurence? Is it in SP or MP (dedi or not)? So I can figure out the problem. thank you very much vengeance1!! :D

Thanks vengeance1! I know the medic doesn't join you: for the "heal action" I will add a scripted healing action (maybe the medic, without joining your squad, will check it injured members of player's group and automatically heal them). For FlyInHeight no problem: I've added it for testing purposes ;). For now the helo do not respawn; the Reinsert action is a little bug :S Thanks for your report! thank you very much! Really appreciated! :D

Thanks kremator for your support!! :D

Hy huys! It seems that there is a problem of locality on "join" command. Now, I've deleted the command so the medic doesn't join your squad anymore. Now all works fine (Reinsert etc.). For the Medic I'll add a scripted "Heal" action to the medic to better manage the healing of your squad mates ;) For now you can test the latest version: @Medevac_beta_6.7z

Ok guys! I will take a look into this problems! ;) Thank you very much!!!!!

Thanks BANDIT2338!! :D

@RedCanoe: do you have tested the Module in MP or SP? @hellsgate9999: the only reason that you receive that kind o ferror is because you don't have the file unit_array.hpp in the ArmA 2/userconfig/MM/unit_array.hpp directory. @all: can anyone, please, confirm the bug report of vengeance1 on dedi server?

Thank you vengeance!! really appreciated! Strange behaviour! So the beta 5 is near to be "perfect" :D
