    Texture loading Question

    other question I have the following textures - tex1 512*512 - tex2 512*512 - tex3 256*64 - tex4 64*64 does it make sense to merge all of them on a 1024*512 even if almost half the texture will be empty ? or should I rather do a 1024* 512 and a 256*256.
  3. Here is an example, I have 3 textures : - MergedCargo.paa (2048*2048) - MergedExternal.paa (contains Wings.paa) (1024*1024) - Wings.paa (256*256) In cargo view lod should I use the MergedExternal.paa for the wings even if only a small part of it is used, or should I rather use Wings.paa so the game doesn't load the big MergedExternal.paa ? thanks for helping.

    ArmA2 Discount

    who doesn't say anything doesn't get wet my friend, you might want to expain me how BIS is going to properly finance Arma II without enough money ? You might want to expain me why Arma hasn't been properly finished, didn't we hear rumors about non sufficient funding ? and please don't serve me your mix of smilies and sweets statements while your are in total disagreement...

    ArmA2 Discount

    1976[APS], ofp/Arma takes time to be really enjoyed, as long you will be focused on what's missing, you won't discover its full potential. excuse me if I was rude with the seed example, but what you newcomers (as I suppose you are) must understand is that BIS is a small company, it has the advantage of great flexibility but there are clearly more chances that the game will be missing features and won't be as polished as BF2 for ex. asking a discount to BIS will just make their job harder, you want a good ArmaII, go buy a second Arma and offer it, the discount thing will only bring a half baked game and that's what we all want to avoid...

    ArmA2 Discount

    BIS can be reached, so people complain again and again... most of the features announced are in Arma, it has certain bugs but these don't make the game unplayable at all. 1976[APS], if you like Arma, you will be playing it for 2 years maybe more, this is well spent money ! BIS needs cash and people come here asking for discounts, what the hell don't eat the seeds, if you want to plant them next year understand ?? you starved to pay this game or what ?
  10. @Baddo as I sometimes agree with you Baddo, I think you are going a little too far when saying that Stalin doesn't worth more than Hitler. I understand that in finish history, URSS left some pretty bad memories, but building your opinion on the " how were we treated by Hitler VS ...Stalin " leads to a very biased opinion. why finish are too indulgent towards Hitler : - Finish are Aryan, it means in Nazi vocabulary that they have some basic sympathy for you. Imagine a Finland filled with slaves and attacked by German or Russian, the first would do massive killings, the second install a socialist state. why finish are too harsh towards Stalin : - After the war finland could still have market economy and much more liberties that other soviet satellites didn't have (of course this isn't all due to Stalin since he died in 1953). - afaik, if Finland was attacked it was because Stalin feared that the German would attack from North West wish isn't paranoia considering the good finish/German relations at that time... Appart from these points let's not forget : - Who started the war ? - Who commited genocides ? - Who planned to empty entire countries to create German colonies ? - Who was extreme right fascist in this story ? -...

    08 U.S. Presidential race

    good post Baddo. I'm gonna quote William Blum, this isn't an attack against american members, just to remind you that it is more than time to make a wise choice, but I'm afraid that corporations have way too much influence to let a progressist gov emerge. USA is too big, let's split it.

    Hezbollah faction?

    nobody is going to ban you for saying such things, free speech is almost a reality on BIS forum, but don't play it to much like the Israelian were all clean in this business... far from it.

    Oxygen 2

    little summary: - the default config for Buldozer is in "C:\Documents and Settings\Simba\My documents\ArmA\Arma.cfg" just to make sure... - the line "DisableMouseExclusive=1;" does not need to be at the top of the config. - you do not need to start buldozer with O2 for the mouse to work properly. - the trick cited above works even if "DisableMouseExclusive=1;" isn't in the config. - if you want to place a independent config as showed by gnat you must write : <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> "F:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA\arma.exe" -buldozer -window -noland -cfg=F:\Program Files\ArmaEdit\ArmAWork\BulConfig.cfg putting quotation marks around the path won't help even if you needed quotation mark for buldozer path. - to make sure you are using the good config, you can change the language parameter, if you set it in German it will show "einen moment" at startup. - you do not need to restart O2 for the modif in the config to take effect, same for the path of the config. - resizing does not seem to work by dragging the window or changing config values. @ DaSquade I think we need the " ..." because we changed the location of "ArmaWork" Folder ( didn't need them before changing the location). now I have ArmaWork on F drive, wish is the same drive as Bohemia Interactive folder where are stored game files and tools files.

    Fixing ArmA

    Arma is pretty good, but there are things that this engine won't be able to do well. imho all things related to positionning/pathfinding simply can't be improved a lot. it means that even with quite a bit of engine changes, AI will never be able to hide and shoot, search for ennemies in buildings, group densly in urban envirronement,...

    Oxygen 2

    ^ I also need de "..." to make the "DisableMouseExclusive=1;" working you must add the parameter in the config as gnat said but what made it working for me is : - you start o2 - start buldozer - reduce buldozer at the bottom of the screen - right click on the reduced buldozer at the bottom and click on "size". - click one or 2 times OUTSIDE buldozer window. - thats it, the mouse part should be ok.
