Hi everybody In case this is the wrong section I've posted, please move . . . and my apologize. I was wondering which of the 2 editor upgrades was best to use. - Lowfly's editor update 1.02 - G85 editor upgrade (don't know the author's name.) Since I'm editing some missions I had a small accident on my way creating my campaign. I edited for some time my missions in a mod folder forgetting that every time I saved the mission I saved in the mission.sqm also the addons used. Fact is that I had both editors in my mod addon folder. I'm fine tuning the missions at the moment and I wanted to keep the missions addon free apart from the editor upgrade. So I was wondering what was your opinion concerning the best editor upgrade to use. I've played different user missions which used one or another and it's always a pain in the back to change every time to the right editor update required. Therefore Your kind feedback would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance. nettrucker

Hi Kristian I don't know if the buildings are back. This version is the one before Linker Split experienced troubles with the buildings. I dunno at what stage is the new version yet, but anyway it's a very nice Island, ideal also for "NAM" missions. Cheers nettrucker

Hi Linker Split a very nice Island you made here. I love the damage system absolute awesome. I made a small in game footage here's the link: Keep up the good work. Cheers nettrucker Â

Hi Somerville Let me get this straight. Do you need to do recordings for your own missions or is it the sound you hear when playing ArmA on your computer? Try and check it out with another type of microphone if you need to record things. In my opinion it's related to the microphone which might be oversensitive which is in my opinion quite bad since You don't need a mike for a spyjob. In case you don't like what you hear when playing than it's certainly somehow settings related I'm afraid. But obviously it's not possible for me to understand fully since I can't hear how it sounds. Try to find a clean setting on your soundcard and try to turn off whatever boost you have at disposal. Gotta experiment a bit. sorry couldn't be much of a help. Cheers nettrucker

Hello everybody This mission is still in making but already at a good point. I would need some beta testers for it. It's also on OFPEC in the mission beta testing section. If you have some time to waste give it a go. You should have plenty of RAM otherwise you'll probably experience some heavy lag. Information Version:Dogtags v0.3 beta Author: nettrucker Type: SP (part of the dogtags campaign) Size: 6.8 MB Length: 20-30 minutes Island: Sahrani Intro: Yes outrowin: Yes outrolose:Yes Special: combat ambience sounds - music - speech and radio files. Weather: daytime, clear Addons: Editorupdate_V1.02 --by LowFly     sandbag-fix by Raedor --- both included in addon folder Requirements: ArmA - v1.08 - it would be also recommended to have at least 1 GB RAM best would be 2 GB RAM. Since I used quite a lot of units this might lead to lag problems. I personally don't experience lag problems due to plenty of RAM. thanks for betatesting so far to megz Rellikki Cheetah Denz LCD mathias_eichinger Thanks to Baddo for helping me out with the WaveToLip tool. Thanks to Chris Henderson for his wonderful ArmA edit tool. Thanks to Cheetah for the sandbag layout I used from his "Stop At Everon" mission. Mission info: You are the character Miguel Rodriguez Serving in the Royal Army of the South Sahrani. You're an AT soldier who's unit is send to add additional security in the border town of Corazol. Today an important event is going to take place. North Sahrani's President Carreira is on ufficial visit to discuss important matters to lighten up tensions between both nations. Carreira has a meeting with destiny so will you. Known issues: 1.) I still got to work on cinematics regarding prepare cam commands. Couldn't get it to work so far. 2.) There's a couple of audiofiles I still have to implement you will see some messages on screen but you won't hear no sound. I had some problems with the sideRadio command. I couldn't get it to work, so I used a work around for the time being. 3.) Stringtable is still incomplete Place the addons in your Addonfolder Place the pbo in your Mission folder. Download armaholic . . . thanks for hosting this mission Use it at you own risk. Don't come whining to me in case your computer explodes. Have fun regards nettrucker Download Dog tags - armaholic Dogtags v0.4

Hi Q thanks I gonna have a look at that. regards nettrucker

Hi everybody see that there's not much feedback coming. Anyway I updated Dogtags to version0.4 it is still beta and not final. here's the link to OFPECS beta section where you can decide if it might be worth a download OFPEC betatesting topic Dogtags There are just a couple of things that I have to fix especially in the cam scripts due to the fact that I'm still using OFP syntax. Are there any tutorials on ArmA cam scripting, because I have some serious trouble just with such a simple thing to point the camera on target. Anyway if you have some time to waste give it a go and drop me some constructive feedback. Thanks in advance regards nettrucker

Hello opf12345 Try this one made by Cheetah. I had lot's of fun playing it, here's the link Stop At Everon regards nettrucker

Thanks for your reply EricFr. Yeah that's true. There are hell lot's of things running. I tried a little bit to simulate kind of a large scale attack of SLA to secure Corazol. Yeah the CPU is quite busy with this one . . .I hope you were able to play the mission without suffering lag and most important that you enjoyed yourself. Thanks once again for your feedback. regards nettrucker

Hello everybody. I don't know if I post this in the right section, But I can't get wave2lip to work in Windows XP. Gotta whole lotta bunch of missions to complete and I need this desperately. Any ideas are more than welcome. thanks to whoever replies. regards nettrucker

Hi I got it to work now. I didn't had the wav in the root directory where WaveToLip was placed. It needs to be in the same directory otherwise the drag and drop won't work. I didn't know that before, now some of you might say well yeah that goes without saying. I dragged it from a folder on the exe. and nothing happened. Then I just copied the wav in the root directory and dragged and dropped and it worked. I tried for 2 days everything but it never passed my mind that this was the reason why it didn't work. I post this anyway in case somebody else encounters the same probs. Thanks to everybody who replied and gave me some advice. Stay tuned everybody nettrucker

Me neither! Baddo of OFPEC had the courtesy to post me this link. cheers Maddmatt Stay tuned nettrucker

Hello Maddmatt Yeah you're suggestion until yesterday seemed to be my last resource, but I'm a lucky boy BIS just released a package with all editing tools bunched up together, here's the link to it in case somebody else might encounter the same probs I did. Inside the package is a sound tool which is supposed to create lip files. http://www.flashpoint1985.com Thanks anyway for the suggestion. cheers nettrucker

Oh thanks to all of you for your help. my files have no spaces they are mono wave files. Well I try it now and place it in C. if that won't work I'll try download it once again and do some experimenting as in the last days. thanks for all your suggestions and moreover for your swift replies. regards nettrucker  p.s. I'm never using audio names with spaces or other stuff. If you declare them with spaces in the description.ext and then you try running the mission. OFP crashed immediatly to desktop I don't know ArmA but I guess it'll be the same. Therefore  not only wave2lip is allergic to audiofiles with spaces in the name. Thanks anyway. EDIT: I downloaded it again and place the exe directly in C: Tried again . . . no luck. Need to find a work around. I'm due to release my first mission named Dogtags for ArmA it's still in the beta testing phase at OFPEC. Well than I have to wait with the final release until BIS releases a new tool, because I don't know what else to do.   Â

Well I really don't know what happened. Last time I used wave2lip when I was working with my buddy on our OFP campaign and I had Windows Millenium as OS running. I have XP home edition now. Well when I downloaded Wave2lip some years ago there were just an application and the read me. I placed wave2lip on the DT dragged the mono wavefile into the programm and nothing happened it should create the lipfile in the folder with all my wave files, but no file found. so I used the search function to see if the programm put it somewhere else. Nothing. I tried and placed it in C/Windows/Temp and made a new attempt. Nothing happens. Thanks Jason for the tip but it won't work. And thanks to all of you for your quick replies. I'll try downloading it now once again and check if my wave2lip.exe might be corrupt don't know what else to do. nettrucker

Hello Chris. My congrats to a well made editing tool: I already used your editor for OFP and it was simply great. It saved me lots of time doing things. There's one thing though I still miss in your AA editor and which I missed also in the OFP version. The feature I miss has to do with soundediting and the creating of the description file. I miss the radio class, because if I'm not wrong the sound you hear when switching the radio on or of during communication is generated automatically by the radio class. In ArmA you hear a kind of a beep and in old OFP it was just some static white noise with some distortion I guess. Using for radio sounds the radio class the switch on-off sound is created automatically. If you use simply the sound class these sounds are not there and you have to create them on your own when creating the radio files. For the rest this is a very well made editing tool. Thanks for releasing it to the community. Stay tuned nettrucker

I did some further testing. Don't have any 3 partie addons in my addon folder. removed evrything, but still the error appears which is really anoying. I hope that it's not related to a bad installation since I haven't seen amy error during the same. nettrucker

Hi I was just beta testing one of my missions when following error messagge appeared: No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgVoice/Words.medic2' Does anyone of you experienced something like this or similar? How can I fix this? Any feed back is appreciated. thanks in advance nettrucker
