    Hi all first of Kudos BIS amazing this game just keep getting better and better

    I have followed you from OFP Cold war crisis, Red Hammer, and the Resistance days and since I purchaced ArmA2 I have been in to the mission editor, after finding the 3D Real time editor in game the hidden one I cant stop using it It is just amazing It is so powerfull as a tool I just cant believe they have not finished this yet. So my suggestion is Finish the 3D editor and bring it up to date with the content ,What I mean by that is the Pre made base templates could do with updating so all faction have item templates and not just ArmA2.

    I have been using it to Make my mission Base Template and then I use the

    mission.sqf file to spawn the base at the start of the game, This tool so needs to be finished please BIS finish the 3D editor

    Many thanks for you on going suppoprt to the cause

    Here is a quick step by step, for more information look at previous posts in this topic.

    1. Open 3D Editor

    2. Do your thing in 3D Editor

    3. Save your stuff in 3D Editor

    4. Open regular 2D Editor

    5. Save 2D Editor Mission

    6. Go to the folder with your 3D Editor save name

    7. Copy mission.sqf to your 2D Editor mission folder

    8. Rename mission sqf to whatever you want

    9. Create init sqf in 2D Editor saved mission

    10. Put in if (isserver) then {execVM "3deditorcopy_of_mission.sqf";};

    11. Open 3deditorcopy_of_mission.sqf and delete bottom 3 initiation lines.

    12. Preview the mission from 2D Editor.

    Voila all your saved stuff from the 3D editor should now spawn in your mission.

    You rock dude and so do everyone else that got us to this point I have a massive air base on Fallujah v1.0 and in the editor 2D there is nothing apart from one man then when i preview everything that i placed in 3D editior is there this is awsome break through Kudis for who ever work this out first

    I am Running

    ArmA2 + OA + BAF + PMC and they are all there for me to place in the 3D editor.

    I am going to make a Video and upload it to you tube with in a week or 2 just let me work it out a bit better so the video will actually teach those who have not got it working to at least get to the stage I am at wich is not very far at mo just geting object placed at ground level not i need to learn how to place them on a different level like a roof top or something. Ill keep this post updated again many thanks

    Many thanks I just could not get the normal one to populate the island I have had a quick try of your package and I must say kudos I set up a few markets in the OA map and it is very very good Ill be keeping an eye open for any of the other modules you start tweaking I already have the Animals you released again many thanks for your hard work in this project

    Been playing around with it and it fill almost every house that is amazing but is there any way to get more them on the streets and not so many in the houses or do they move out of the houses if left long enough Ill just have to try more testing, are the any of the other commands working with this module like

    BIS_alice_mainscope setvariable ["civilianCount","round (%1 / 10)"];

    BIS_silvie_mainscope setvariable ["vehicleRarity",["skodaRed",10,"skodaBlue",0.8]];

    and this sort of thing or is this writen from the ground up ?

    what are you editing the mission.sqm file with ?

    I use ArmAEdit now with the patch for ArmA2

    http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=1455

    http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=8354

    it may be that when you are opening it up and saving it with what ever you are using it is not saving the content on the right lines and there fore breaking the code if you get my drift

    also another great tool for editing is this

    http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=4847

    i know it is for ArmA but it is still a source of information for beginners like you and me

    I hope his helps

    Hi I love arma2 I use G7 2000dpi(anything higher i find get gitterish)

    G15 Blue Back Light(Has 36 programable G Keys) and Tracker IR5(Amazing bring a hole new level to the game) but this is only for infantry.

    Heli and planes I use My G25 wheel(only pedals) For the tail rotor Planes they operate the tail so as to straff

    then i use my X52 Throttle housing only For Lift(helis) or Thruster(Planes)

    G7 For pitch and roll(for both Helis Planes)

    Tracker IR5 Head Movement(With Mandos This Really is where i spen 90% of my gamming time I love it

    Viechals G25 Pedals (left Pedal= Slow , Middle Pedal=Stop , Right pedal=Fast Foward)

    G7 Turn left+Right

    Tracker IR5 Head Movement

    like i said I love this game.

    It is not the best way to play if you want to be the best at this game but if you are looking for game immersion and that connection to the game that you do not find with a mouse and keyboard then each of my toys have paid for them selfs 10 fold

    I also know that these Toys come with a price and they are not affordable to everyone and i am not trying to boast I just trying to relay how good this game is if your lucky enought to be able to game with these toys but with all that aside I still could not do with out my mouse and keyboard.

    I hope you find something that you feel comfortable with ;)
