Hi folks, my current problem is, that the imported terrain doesn't fit to the mapsize itself. That's what I did until now: 1. loaded terrain data from SRTM1 NASA data into VTP. 2. cut out the appropriate part of the map and saved it as a *.bt file (terrain size is 5,12km x 5,12km) 3. loaded file into wilbur, greyscaled it, looked for min and max height. 4. made a nice pbl file for visitor <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">class cfg { PNGfilename="terrain.png"; squareSize=26.2144; originX=0; originY=0; minHeight=-0.000000; maxHeight=255.000000; }; 5. New Project in Visitor with the following details: 6. Import via png-picture into Visitor And that's what I got: The map size (looking at the rulers on the map's edge) seems to be ok: 512 x 512 x 10m (per cell) equals 5120m x 5120m But why is the map stuck in the lower left corner? Â Well, any help is appreciated !! Jens

Ok, thanks a lot guys. I'm already advanced a few steps. Map is now correct in editor and I even managed to get the background image working.:) Jens

Hi, I'm currently in the research/learning phase. My object is to recreate the Ft. Benning, McKenna Urban Training Site. While searching the internet for useful material (which reveals an astonishing amount of information) I stumbeld upon this site: http://www.ai.sri.com/~apgd/vl/datasets/Benning/radar/2.5m/ As one of the files is more than 200MB I'm very curious what information is hidden in this thing. I tried a few viewers for dte files and so on. But no luck so far. Can anyone give me some hints what to do exactly with these files? Thanks a lot in advance. Jens

Hi, in the lack of tutorials for o2 beginners I revisited brsseb's old modeling lessons (link) and I just finished the first lesson (the good old red crate). It's basicly just a box with two textures. One normal LOD and a geometry LOD. Nothing more. In bulldozer everything looks fine. If I try to view the crate ingame I get the message: No entry 'bin\config.bin\CfgModels\Default.sections' My config.cpp looks like this: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">class CfgPatches { class Crate { units[] = {Crate}; weapons[] = {}; requiredVersion = 1.0; }; }; class CfgVehicles { class All {}; class Static: All {}; class Building: Static {}; class NonStrategic: Building {}; class TargetTraining: NonStrategic {}; class TargetGrenade: TargetTraining {}; class Crate: TargetGrenade { model="\crate\crate"; armor=20000; scope=2; displayName="Crate"; } } Any hints are welcome. If anyone has some links for tuts, please tell me so. Thanks a lot in advance Jens

Hi, I'm trying to create a single weapon via script <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">_m113 = "M113" createVehicle [(getpos table select 0),(getpos table select 1),(getpos table select 2)]; creates a nice M113 just where I want it (near the object "table") But <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">_m16 = "M16A2" createVehicle [(getpos table select 0),(getpos table select 1),(getpos table select 2)]; doesn't create a M16. I tried it with camcreate as well. No joy so far. So my question is: How can I spawn a weapon via script? Thanks! Jens

VBS2: Shot from april tech demo

In Arma we got these nice looking red targets (which look far better than the old OFP blue targets). These red targets pop up by themselfs if dropped by the shooter. If you want to animate/control them by scipt you can use <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">animate["terc",1] and <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">animate["terc",0] Jens

Is this information somethin official or pure speculation? Jens

The bridges are from the Team Yankee Mod. Would've been nice if you mentioned that in the readme. Jens

Hi, just a short question to those who saw ArmA at the GC or spoke to someone from the BIS staff. When the first details of ArmA came up some months ago I remember that the original CWC and Resistance stuff will be part of ArmA as well as the new island and campaingn. Is this still the case today? Jens

Sad, but im 100% sure that someone in this marvellous community will convert them for use in ArmA. Jens

** POSSIBLE SPOILER **** Hi nominesine, played the first and second mission so far and I really like them. I just escaped the SU-25 and have to evacuate the camp from Kimbe. When I arrive at the first US checkpoint (ar the bridge) I can't cross the bridge because some pieces of the bridge don't fit in their height. Seems like a map problem rather than a mission problem. Can you confirm, that the bridge is crossable? Jens

The only one that was released was some kind of april joke. The "real" one that Hardrock was working on seems to be still work in progress. Haven't anything from it in a while. Jens

Hi folks, as I saw Artak's thread with his nice little girl I thought that I might also introduce my newborn son SIMON to you cu Jens Name: Simon DOB: March 7th 2006 12:05 GMT Weight: 3620g Height: 52cm

Not only BIS is misleading us with ArmA, I even suspect them to be involved in the Kennedy assassination!! What do you think of MY theory? Jens

Yep, I know. It was also more "an appeal, not a demand". Jens

I think everyone got the point Clausewitz and we are ready to continue with business as usual. Jens P.S. As this topic has indeed nothing to do with finished/released addons, can a mod please close it. Thanks a lot!

I added one more preview-pack for Berghof's Nature Pack 2 cu Jens P.S. The Pack can be found on our website --> Download

I had the problem after installing and was deeply shocked (wait soo long and not able to use that mod ). But I got a solution. I installed the packs not in the given folders (like "OPF\ffur1985d") but into "OFP\@ffur1985d", as I always try to use a "@" for ustom folders. That was my problem. Renamed the folders to "ffur1985d" and everything works fine. Jens

Ah, I got it. A spy satelite! Jens

It's not really an error - it just takes a very long time to save/load. The reason is that there are 24 JAM ammocrates in the shed at the first objective, and OFP wants counts the ammo in all those crates as part of the save The initial release of JAM3 made this worse because I'd filled the ammocrates with even more ammo by default. Now though, it's fixed and the save/load times are exactly the same whether you use JAM2 or JAM3 (about 90 seconds on my computer). Great mission though - very atmospheric and almost reminds me of Thief: Deadly Shadows Cheers, CH Ah, yes that sounds logical to me. Well, I'm a impatient guy... Jens

Hi, I'm using the JAM2 (the one that was linked on he Revolt 1998 thread) and get the save/load error while playing the "Deal with the dealer" mission. I've (re)downloaded all the addons and put them in a seperate mission folder (looks exactly like the one, that came with the readme files). Any ideas what's up there? I never had somehting like this in OFP. And BTW, this is indeed the best 3rd party campaign I've ever played!!! Keep up the good work King Nothing! cu Jens

Hi, I was wondering what we can expect from the new game engine in AA, pardon ArmA. Will ArmA, in contrast to OFP:R be more targeted toward power from the video card and not so much towards the main memory? Jens

There is a also Mi-24 with eastgerman markings around (Vit?) Jens
