Any idea when your latest will be released? I'm itching for a sound mod. I've tried predators which also looks/sounds awesome but for the love of mike I can't get it to work. Hopefully yours might be easier to get going. Skimbo

I love you! Skimbo

Hi all I'm having trouble with the cpbo program for extracting/packing files. I can create cpbo files by right clicking but I don't get an option to extract cpbo files. I get an 'open with program...' in my right click menu, I then select cpbo but nothing happens. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Skimbo

Thanks for all your help Skimbo

I am just trying to unpbo pbo files not configs. It was just something SYB said about 3 posts ago. He basically said winpbo is for op flashpoint pbo's and may not work with satisfactory results in ARMA. Bugger! Its the only one that seems to work for me as well. Skimbo

ah! Thats interesting, I didnt realise that different programs were specific to op flashpoint or Arma. What a complete pain in the wotsits. Skimbo

Major Woody I had the same problem mate, could pack but not unpack using cpbo program - there was no option in my right click menu to extract/unpack at all. In the end I downloaded winpbo I think it was - works like winrar very easy to use. I now just use cpbo to pack my files. Skimbo

Aye No I've tried several times now. I just downloaded winpbo (or whatever it was called) it unpacks them fine. Now if I could just get predators mod to work using my incompetent skills... thats the REAL trick! Skimbo -

Crikey! Didn't realise it'd be somewhere in the region of 240mb! Will try another pbo program. Thanks for the heads up. Skimbo -

I placed 2 bombs on the nearest columns under the bridge wher you get dropped off. Swam into the water swam up to it planted 2 satchels (use mousewheel) swam back and hid. The next trick is getting the twat on the radio to shout flash flash flash so you can blow the bridge... he doesn't always get triggered for some reason (at least for me he didnt) and if you blow the bridge before he says this mission over.

Hello again Mr predator Is there any chance you could upload the pbo version of your weapon sounds to your download link? I know the file size will be bigger than a zipped one but it seems it will be the only way I can get my hands on your mod as my cpbo still refuses to give me an extract option in the right click menu. If its a hassle don't worry mate! Skimbo -

Aye This is the annoying thing I can pack files to make .pbo's I just can't unpack them for some reason - no option in the right click menu. It only allows me to select 'open with...' then I choose cpbo and nothing happens. Is there someway to get an extract option in my right click menu? It's the only way I can think it will work. Don't worry about replying swiftly mate, you're a busy boy with your mod! I'll just have to make do with the crappy standard sounds for the time being...  "Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori" Tis sweet and honourable to die for one's country Skimbo  -

Gah! I cant get the weapon pbo file to extract! Installed CPBO to use right click functionality but it doesn't do anything. I can create .pbo files but can't extract - only option I get when right clicking a .pbo is select program to open with. I select cpbo but nothing happens. Any ideas? P.S. My wife is in the post - beware of a large cardboard box that talks... Â Skimbo -

I was tearing my hair out the other night because I couldn't download your sound only mod - link seems to be working now albeit slowly. The vanilla sounds for Armed Assault really do suck hairy monkey bottoms. When I originally played the demo I thought they were just placeholder sounds (i.e. temporary) - then when I got the full game I discovered this was not the case! Imagine how disappointed I was! Thank you so much for your work on this and keep it coming -you sir are a genius! Skimbo -

Hi all Long time lurker now poster. I've searched the forums but I couldn't see anything related to commanding the tanks. As commander is it not possible to zoom in with the +- num pad keys to make it easier to spot targets? I'm sure you could do this with Op Flash tanks but it doesn't seem to work with ARMA (though its been a long time so I could be wrong!. Also getting the gunner to change weapon as commander is impossible. I've tried scrolling the mousewheel and there is no option for SABOT/HE/MGUN. I've tried pressing F to change weapon but no joy. Just in case any of you dont know I stumbled across this while banging away at the keyboard trying to change weapons, its not a listed keyboard command so I'm wondering if the weapon change is lurking somewhere also not listed. If you press Q or E when commanding a tank it sets the speed to slow (Q) or fast (E) handy when you just want to give it some berries without holding shift W down etc. Also how do I set multiple waypoints for my squad/tanks to follow? There is an option under the move command for your chaps to 'move to next waypoint' however the manual makes no reference to setting waypoints. And finally (no really! can someone explain the difference between the fire commands under Engage? OPEN FIRE and HOLD FIRE are pretty obvious but then you have option to FIRE (?! does open fire not cover this?) ENGAGE (?) and ENGAGE AT WILL. Thanks in advance. Skimbo

Thanks a lot for the responses - will try out what you said later and thanks for the heads up regarding the tank commander zoom which doesn't even exist! It seems odd that the guy who is in charge of the tank and the welfare of the crew has a more limited view than the gunner in respect of zoom and spotting targets - that can't be right! Is there going to be a way to incorporate waypoints into game in future patches does anyone know? It sure would be useful. Thanks again all! Skimbo
