I wouldnt mind it once in awhile but when mission making it happens everytime you switch back and forth it is so annoying

How can I stop the splash screen from showing up everytime I go back and forth in the editor when Im not using the rte and I just go back and forth I get a long delay each time in an out as it lists some credits is there anyway to stop that?

How do we unarm a soldier? I want to be able to choose models and then in init field take their gun from them if possible when the mission starts. Basically I want to do this because I have animations I want to set that would look better if they were totally unarmed.

just adding a reply so I can subscribe to this thread I know it will be useful for me.

Hello all I have just picked up Arma 2 again after about a solid year away from it due to school. I remeber asking awhile back if there was any way to not have AI react to silenced weapon kills that were clearly not within their reach visually or hearing wise. I had gotten a reply that it might be in one of the upcoming patches. So I am asking does anyone know if this has happened or if I need an addon any info at all? Also I am trying to find Mr Murrays PDF file for mission editing Thanks in advance I have always loved the help you can get at this forum!!

No I didn't know that but thank you alot :=) these little tid bits go a long way...

Ok but basically we can add up to 9 mods per the startup parameter or we need to get this in game mod manager to work which doesn't yet work for steam. I actually tried to get mods to work from that line before I must have done something wrong, don't I just add -mod @ffoa,@bcde,@hijk etc, etc?

Dwarden I reverified my Arma 2 Cache which is all I can see that I can do I get the option to launch in combined ops however I dont understand how or where I can add my 9 custom paramters for launch items. Also I am sorry but I haven't yet seen an in game mod manager. isnt 9 mods kind of light over time actually? you could have 4 or 5 in addon villagers and soilders in one mission not to mention a couple of weapons and cars 9 seems lite to me. can you help me grasp this better?

Well The one I got is from Steam and it doesnt launch right personally i think this should all fall back on steam and we should get them to fix the damm thing or stop using them fast as a community

I hate to ask more questions in threads this long but I had bought combined ops as one package I want to know how to set up a combined ops short cut instead of launching Arma 2 or arma 2 oa I just want to always launch the combined ops and I want to be able to set up my mods in a short cut which steam always screws up. Anyone help me with this???

I have bought Combined Operations from Steam and it puts 2 shortcuts on my desktop but they dont work like a normal shortcut in that I cant add the no splash command and turn mods on and off. Most importantly I want to be able to make a shortcut for combined operations because there isnt one for that Steam always asks afterwards in a pop up box if thats what we want to launch. I would like to get combined operations as a default shortcut that I can turn my mods on and off. Thanks in advance

Does anyone know of any additional models to get that look Mideastern I have the FFA terrorist and civilian packs but was hoping to find some Muslim women also some kids and Priests if possible for just dressing out a regular street.

I was hoping someone could help me with the following, I am trying to get some of the models to pray on their knees inside of the Mosque I want these people to be civilians and I can get the terrorists to animate on their knees etc but not the civilians so is there a way to change the attributes of a civilian so he will do the same animations as a soldier, I was going to also ask this because I want these citizens to walk around and not crawl or duck when they are by the terrorists I only want them to be nervous when there is gunfire around them even that I would like to make within a radius with a trigger if possible. So can I change any attributes of a civilian model to achieve those goals? If so can a trigger be implemented with a change in behavior that's turned on and off by gunfire within certain radius, I want the soldiers to walk by these people to and not have them run away as well just gunfire makes them run and or hit the deck?

Ok so now Silenced weapons work the way they should excellent!!

I'm starting to think I made a mistake in what I bought< I was under the impression that if I ran combined operations that the editor would allow units from both games from what I am reading that doesn't sound possible? I'm also wondering if patrolling scripts and other goodies that worked in arma 2 will work here as well?

I bought it from steam and its called combined operations I dont get the icon however when I launch the game steam gives me the option to launch combined operations

I understand the need to move threads however my thread is now useless to me because its totally buried in with someone elses. Its been added to 101 pages so at least 1000 other posts where no one is really going to read or help me individually I created a new one because I wanted recent information and I specified 2 cards for a price range I really don't see why it couldn't have remained alone. Please return it if possible I feel as though I just wasted my time looking for the feedback from here.

Lot of confusing info here first I run the 880 gtx and its not running it well possibly because im on windows 7 64 bit o/s now. Maybe that should have been included I have no idea of what maverick means what is PP and what card is he talking about? And the 260 is a lesser card then the other two you listed hammer you like the 260 best for the money? do you think its a BIG step up from my 8800 GTX???

How does your game run on the GTX 260 can you run everything on high and it looks great? Is this a big step up from where I am at do you think?

I am a little frustrated I am running a geforce 8800 GTX with 768mb ram I am having a problem getting arma 2 and this new expansion to run well I know this game used to run well on it I haven't played in a long time due to school so If you guys this the 8800 is outdated please let me know also I have heard but don't know if there's any truth to it Does ATI cards work better with intel processors than Nividia? And Nividia is better with AMD? I heard that but didn't know if there was any truth to it. Anyways I would like to buy a card that I can run this game full out and get a good fpr rate Looking for suggestions Under 200 bucks. Kinda between the ATI HD 5770 at $169 or EVGA GTX 260 at $184 I have heard that EVGA is a lifetime guarantee too if this is true it kind of slants the scale as well

I am a steam user for the time being anyways, I want to buy arrowhead however I have 2 steam accts and the one that has arma 2 I want to discontinue and utilize my other acct Do I need to have Arma 2 to run arrowhead? Is there any advanges to having them in the same place If I dont have to do it. And when we add pbo files will the addons work from arma 2?

I am looking for a way to assign a couple of planes where i have them start on a run way run a pattern of waypoints and land again. I started with one plane and tried to run the waypoints with a flyinheight of 100 feet so i could see it overhead as it passed the plane never leaves the ground he just rolls down runway slow and never leaves the ground i added the flyinheight command in the activation line on both the way points and the unit itself the name of the plane was plane2 so in the initialization line i put plane2 flyinheight 100 I believe thats right from what I have read here I am no scripter so in answering this thread please dumm it down so i can follow what to do. but i basically just want this airstrip to look active and igve the player a ambient feel for being on an airfield. Thanks again for any help

Is there anyway to make AI less responsive and create a more realistic mission when using Silenced weapons, It seems extremely unrealistic when AI from all over begins to react because one of their squad across from them hits the dirt. Any imput on this would be appreciated.
