  1. There are ways to do it.

    one way is to extract the missions from the missions.pbo put them in the editor, then go to each unit in razor team and add (unitname allowdamage false) to the end of their init line.

    Example for sykes it would be: BIS_sykes allowdamage false

    for yourself it would be: player allowdamage false

    Then just play the mission from the editor.


  2. Hey guys

    I've thought about buying a new pc for Arma 2, as it runs pretty bad. Well bad for me (20-35 fps or so, depending on settings of course)

    My current computer is only 1.5 years old though and consists of the following:

    Core 2 duo 6850 @3.0 GHz

    2 gigs of RAM

    Nvidia Geforce 8800GT 512 mb

    Running XP home

    Do you think it would be a better idea to just buy a HD4890 for instance, instead of investing in a whole new system??

    Would that be enough to get a signifact increase in performance?

    wow snowfox we have the exact same specs!

    I just bought a 4890 this weekend, i'll be putting it in on tues or wends I'll post back on how much of a boost I get.

    What mobo do you have?


  3. At FOB Manhattan the armory is directly behind CPT. Shaftoe (the officer that fills you in)

    It's covered with a camo net and enclosed in sandbag walls.

    You have to go in from the eastern side near the UAV terminal.

    I had the same trouble finding it when I first did this mission, inspite it being right in the middle of the base it's really hard to find.


  4. I have noticed this issue, I fly with the mouse.

    I've only flown the f35 so far, To me it seems to happen at higher speeds.

    It sure makes CAS strafing runs near friendlies an unwieldy experience, not that I should be doing those in an f35 but.......ya there it is.


  5. Hello,

    Okay, firsoff please be gentle I don't have much expirience with scripting so I need answers in dummy talk please:)

    I am trying to execute a sqf I have in my mission folder via radio alpha.

    And I want it to be tied to a specific object (in this case a civ car)

    But for the life of me I can not figure out the correct syntax.

    I tried: carname execVM "myscript.sqf"; in the activation window of the alpha trigger, but that didn't work.

    The only thing I can think of is perhaps carname should be in quotes? like "carname"

    Am I barking up the wrong tree here?

    Any help would be very appreciated

    P.S. I should mention, I do have mcmurry's editing guide, and it does help but I need some Q and A to make sense of alot of it.


  6. Walking straight through the front door, take a left, in the next room there are two tables.

    It should be sitting on the back table (the one against the wall)

    If it's not there you may have stumbled across a bug, if so your only hope is to load an earlier save.

    Good luck!


  7. Even more spoilers! ye are warned says I argh argh.

    I found him on my first playthrough at the main chedaki base, he was on foot running around the base firing on my team.

    In the middle of the fight I got the radio message stating that he was spotted, after the battle though it took me a good 15 minutes of searching to locate his body.

    So what i'm getting at is maybe his body is there hidden in the grass or in a bush?


  8. Spoilers below!!!!

    Okay, Found him. Still not sure how random his placement is but I restarted the mission and drove straight to Gvozdno, and lo' an behold there he was right in the center of town.

    After a breif radio message and a breif firefight the smuggler and his accomplice (I thought the briefing said he always drives alone?) were dead and I was able to search the bodies for intel leading me to a very important piece of evidence against the chedaki.

    Now the first time I played this mission I wandered all over creation for hours and never found him. So this may or may not be another bug where he might be dissapearing from the map after a time?

    Or perhaps after awhile he crashes/runs out of fuel and proceeds to go on foot?

    It would be really interesting to find out.


  9. I'm having a couple problems myself.

    In the briefing they say I have access to the Armory. I found an ammo truck in the base but unfortunately it doesn't have all the types of ammo that my squads weapons use. It has M249 ammo but no M240B ammo which the machine gunners weapon uses. Is there somewhere else in the base to grab ammo and/or weapons. I have been unable to find anything in the base and my machine gunner is running low.

    Also my Corpsman doesn't want to heal injured squad mates. I tell him to patch up a guy and he just stands next to him and watches him bleed.

    Still having a great time with the mission though.

    There is a weapons cache at FOB manhatten, go to the UAV terminal there is a camo net next to it with ammo boxes. It sits directly behind the officer you speak to in the begining of the mission.


  10. Hello,

    Alright here's where i'm at. I've completed all the tasks so far but I am having a heck of a time trying to find the weapons smuggler.

    I've been all over creation looking for that guy, ran 4 different vehicles out of gas driving back and forth praying I run across that white pickup to no avail.

    Could somone give me a tip where to find him? I'd imagine he's not always in the same spot or rather I should say he may not always follow the same route so really any help would be much appreciated.
