May i add something here? 1) - has been asked already: here 2) - the region code mentioned by Placebo was: 2  3) - most likely it's not being caused by a corrupt CD, but by the hardware (see in the thread at 1). 4) - Securom cannot have any fault in case of a CD or DVD not being recognized by a drive - think before posting  :edit - no offense meant to you Balschoiw but you should know better. And to make it easier for you to forgive me: i had suspected that too and also didn't think before posting in the thread linked above, but that was out of panic due to a not installable ArmA. ~S~ CD

Forgive me but: nothing is worth that risk - really OK, maybe having a life without sorrows guaranteed till the end of days or having an experience of which the kids of your kids will still write books is worth it. Did you read anywhere that you have to run your system totally unprotected to get the game going or downloaded? Turn on your internet security imidiately before something really weird happens to you or at least to your system. ~S~ CD

I must say that i see lot of ppl expecting too much from their systems, especially when it comes to viewdistance. I remember in OFP a viewdistance of 900 meters has always been good for playing on average systems, but in ArmA the discussion always starts at 1200 and above. With our current systems we should imho be around the 900m viewdistance or maybe less, since it's the first hardware generation to run ArmA. I also see some ppl complaining to have waisted their 42-50 bucks for that game, while i rather may have waisted my 999 euros in october for a new pc (bought for ArmA in first case) but i should have been waiting a little longer to see what i will really need. I understand the frustration if there's a new favourite game comming out and you can't play it and i remember having had this very often in days before OFP e.g: NHL Hockey series. In OFP i started with a 700ghz pc and and afterwards i never experienced the probs with buying newer generation hardware not running games like they should. Now ArmA sets a new standard of hardware requirement and i think it'll take a while until we all can enjoy into it like we should or want. p.s: i also feel sorry for you Lee Harvey, that you can't play it like you want now. ~S~ CD

Are you sure that -nomap would have any effect on a plain no addons game? I mean -nomap parameter in ofp was standing for only loading that addons into memory, which were really being used. I can't imagine that it could help anything in that case which we're discussing here. ~S~ CD

Well, i got 2 gigs of ram and tried the 1536 maxmem's but it ended up in a crash to desktop after a while of playing. A second time the game has just frozen up. I didn't experience this when not using maxmem before. In the german forums (morphicon) i've read ppl having same issues with maxmem equal and over 1024. Now it sounds logical to me, since even after using enditall to shut down most useless services there's something running in the background, + what is reserved for the graphics and if those require more than 512it will most likely end up in a ctd. So the maxmem parameter should be used wise and not just out of the wristle. ~S~ CD

OK, i just changed the CD-drive on my own - took a normal DVD ROM drive from an older pc - replaced the DVD RAM with it and installation was a success. I will still have to return my pc to the retailer but not for now since there's a new game been released which i must explore from dusk 'till dawn at the mo. Well, now i must say i'm little bit disapointed by the performance question but this belongs into other threads and will hopefully be solved after a while, since my system specs should provide more than a feeling like ofp on very high settings whatever system was running it. I still have to learn loving this game but as i said - this is just on a sidenote and should be discussed in other threads. ~S~ CD

Well, back from my 6 days absence i could see this thread made some progress. Unfortunately nothing yet could help in my case. I've set the region code to '2' - no change. I've updated firmware from HSY2 to HSY3 - no change. Updating firmware to the latest i could find: HSY5 didn't help either. Now the last step i can make tomorow -> swapping the DVD drive. I bought the PC in october so i'll have to return it to the dealer and wait for them to send it to the manufacturer and back of the waranty. hmm - i think i can tell more in about 3 or 4 weeks. The only thing i maybe can find out tomorow is: does the CD work with an equal pc (if he still got one) with same configuration. ~S~ CD

Good looking units you got there ROadki @Neph: I think you got your point with not giving permission and Roadki's reaction was straight and quick without any arguing about it - he took the headset out. To me it looks like it wasn't intended to steal something from you but that's my opinion. Though you're right to keep your work save but you don't need to keep pointing all time on this now since everyone (except one ) seems having understood. On the other hand Roadki asked for having peace in this thread - so your issues with Kala could be kept in PM's. Otherwise you would make more contra-work to his project than he did to you. Just my 2 cents ~S~ CD

At least it increases the chances you're comming home save since he'd draw all enemies attention onto him, whilst you can go for a cigarette or two. Â On the other hand in some situation it's a must to setunitpos "up" - think about tonal or flooded ocean island, where you see the 'you are dead' screen very soon if you laying down and those AI's never care 'bout wether it's wet or not. btw - this is rather mission editing related question than addon related (seems to come in trend lately) Â ~S~ CD

Since i already pointed you to Mission Editing guess where's the right place to start entering your code - yeah you're right in the Mission Editor. If you talk about playing only without making your own missions then take it that you can't do anything to solve the problem. ~S~ CD

It's a very new pc and it's only Arabia where this happens. btw - figured out that beta1 also crashes now ~S~ CD

errm - you could ask a mod to move your thread over to Mission Editing&Scripting forum and there you'll get a proper answer very soon - you'll get it here too, but that's the wrong place for this discussion. Setpos is what you after - go and check the comref for the use of the command - if it's unclear then post a question in ME&S forum - or use the search. ~S~ CD

thx scotchsoldier gonna try to get it then I only found it once in google in relation with stargate mod and that it's required there too, but no dl-link there. ~S~ CD

Well that helps a lot If you got it Ironsight, could you maybe be so kind and check the immeuble pbo's for any tags inside - maybe we can find a link by that way - or just wait 'till Revan returns. ~S~ CD

I tried your arabia beta2 but couldn't get it to work. CTD: 'out of reserved memory' using only the island without any other addon deployed on the map. I got 2gb's of ram even tho. I know you won't be able to fix anything for me 'cause something's rather f**'ed up with me configuration. ~S~ CD

hmm - screens looking good but... Immeuble2.pbo ; Immeuble.pbo Never heard of them - a search in Addons&Mods Discussion, Addons&Mods Completed and at ofp.info, for immeuble didn't return anything. Would be cool if you provided any links to the addons required for your isle at least for the not so popular ones. Also you should mention Sgt.Eversman Nogova instead of the pbo name itself, even tho i could find this one at ofp.info by searching the pbo name. ~S~ CD

arghhh - sorry - i didn't read the first line of your code forget my post if you've read it already Nice work Col You know we have that function library at OFPEC if you didn't already put it there ... ~S~ CD

That's correct yeah ColonelSanderLite, that you are pretty sure this should be an issue anyways i don't understand now However, the context is true - the trigger's size needs to cover the area in which you want that west gets detected by east. Just for info: a simple 'Sentry' waypoint for an eastern group returns exactly the same result as a side detected by other_side trigger with just the difference that you don't need to specify an area and that it's for an individual group to detect any enemy unit. ~S~ CD

detected by off course requires the side you want to be detected of. If you are West and your enemy is East then it's: West detected by East ~S~ CD

uhm - ReblMan, the sentence is dealing with the past. I included in my quote the very important word: History This means this was a problem with the previous version. I hope you get it now. ~S~ CD

If you've done everything right, this shouldn't happen so i assume you made a mistake somewhere. How do you let them board the helicopter? By waypoint or by trigger's onActivation? Or is it maybe the jet which activates the trigger for those guards? By what you wrote i can only guess and there are a lot of guesses so i think it's better you post exactly what you made (waypoints type of waypoints trigger details). ~S~ CD

hmm - you seem to have forgotten an important word in your quoting ReblMan. What you mean it's been crashed? It's not starting anymore or it just crashed? Not starting => reinstall it ~S~ CD

When you're bored i'd suggest you to put your finger into your right nose hole but not too start useless polls just for your own interest (if at all). This has been discussed long time agooooooo and here's the editing board where you post if you have problems with mission making or found something worth to share with the comunity. It's not for just making polls because of boredness. ~S~ CD

True Adobe Photoshop v.7.0, to be exact. I guess Photoshop 7.0.1 to be more exact. If not go for it - alpha channels on tga files work with it. ~S~ CD

FYI = for your info What JW is trying to tell you is that deactivated mines might not be on the same height level as activated ones. Though i dunno if it makes a difference when you getpos mine_xx, and i can't try unil next wednsday but maybe you can. ~S~ CD
