What I found out yesterday that's pretty handy is with the Bootcamp update. With the Virtual Arsenal section of the Bootcamp you can set up your character with any available weapons, attachments, items, clothing, etc. even with external addons and try them out. But I also noticed that if you click the "Export" button at the bottom you will have your current loadout copied into your memory cache (clipboard). Just Alt+Tab out and paste into a text editor like Notepad and presto, you now have all the code with class names for that loadout that you can use in your mission. Very handy. :)

Thanks Kinch for the awesome mission. We use it often on our private server for some great battles against the bots. I have a couple of questions that should be quick and easy to answer. Maybe someone else can pitch in here too if they know. 1. What version of EOS are you using in your version b0.59? Is it EOS v1.9? 2. If it is EOS v1.9, is there plans to go to the current version which is I think v1.98? There are many new features in the new version that would really enhance the quantity and placements of the bots in the zones. Thanks again for the mission and hope to see more missions and/or updates in the future. :-)

What I think would be cool is to have this script be attached to some sort of object (fuel drum or something) and have it as a bomb in a town. It would randomly spawn in a town and activate when you are attacking. For example in a Domination style mission. When you would have only a few bots left, the device would randomly spawn somewhere in town and give you so much time to disable it before it detonates. Or maybe have it in a side mission that if you don't find a briefcase within a certain time frame, it would bomb your base. Very cool script with a ton of possibilities... Unfortunately I am not much of a scripter to code the above...lol ;-)

Is it working after this last fix for the patch? I tried the current version and when I try the test mission and toss a grenade at my feet. I don't get the option to spawn at base or mobile. I just get the main menu that appears at the bottom left giving the option to restart, switch or end. I left everything at default and didn't change any of the options within the revive script. Is it not working since the last patch yesterday, or is it something on my end? Is it working ok for anyone else? I see Meatball seems to be having a little more extreme issue than me. I'm guessing it's patch related? Thanks :-)

Awesome, thank-you. That fixed up some of the issues I was having with error pop-ups. Was having them in a few scripts that used scrollbars and dropdown lists. Got them almost all fixed. I didn't find any into the .sqf files, only the .hpp files. Thanks again

Hi Jman, So I'm guessing every script that is using this "ScrollBar" code has to be changed to the new "ComboScrollBar"? Ouch... Why would BI do that? That kinda breaks a lot of scripts that already exist with this code in it. Thanks for the heads up. At least now I know with these scrollbar errors that I've been getting can be fixed. It'll require a lot of searching, but fixable at least. :-)

I'm getting the similar problem. Some times my buddies and I can't be revived and have to spawn back at base. Then other times it will instantly spawn us back to base when we get killed. I did notice that before we use to get the black screen and would have to disconnect and reconnect to fix the black screen issue. Now it seems that instead of a black screen, we get the "can't be revived" issue. I guess it is better than the black screen. But I could be wrong. I only got to play it once since I got the patch. I am using SVIS, VAS, ALive, Norrin's Revive, Drongos Artillery.

Ok, I am officially a moron... I haven't played it in about a week and forgot that I have to use the radio in the gear menu to activate it. I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer...lol So I can confirm too that it still works. Sorry for the confusion... :-)

Hi, Just wondering if the mod is broken with the latest patch (1.10)? It doesn't seem to be working in my mission anymore. :( Thanks ;)

You da man eggbeast... Thanks for making this happen. :cheers:

Quarantine wasn't really like L4D. It was more sandbox type. It wasn't a start at point A and survive to point B type of mission like L4D. It was more of a open concept style mission. Sort of like Evolution. Except the towns had a few survivors in them and tons of zombies. Another cool thing was af first you had little money and no vehicles. So you had to go out and kill zombies to make monet to upgrade. But if you died out in the field, your weapon you were holding stayed on your dead body. You could always run or fight your way back to get your gun. There was also a base that was constantly under attack by zombies. If you did not help the soldiers defend that base, they were sure to get over-run after a while. So you could go in there when they were in trouble and help them until all the soldiers had respawned and had their defences up again. You can probably use that mission to port scripts from. A lot of stuff from ARMA works in ARMA2 if I am not mistaken.

I was hoping that someone would of ported that good ole zombie mission from ARMA. I think it was called Quarantine or something like that. Was great. it had a money/budget system, rescue side missions and a ton of zombies... :D I see it was a discussion that didn't get very far a long time ago. Maybe someone can pick up the ball and run with it. :j: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=95427

It WILL work. But you won't be happy. I tried running it on my second computer which I use for my ARMA2 server and it has an Athlon 64 X2 4200. The computer also has an old Geforce video card something like a 6200. The game starts and plays. But with everything on LOW, it still lags like hell. Being that this game benefits from a strong CPU and utilizes Multi-Core technology. I'd strongly recommend going to a higher level CPU. If you can't afford a higher end CPU. I would suggest going with the original ARMA. Same great game with tons of addons. But with a lower system requirement. And with a tight budget. You're better off banking that money and adding to it until you get enough for a larger CPU and possibly system upgrade. but that time, the game will be a lot more stable and you'll have yourself a better rig to enjoy the game with all it's glory. ;)

I love the idea of having regular updates to fix peoples issues with the game. But I probably speak on behalf of many Steam users when I say that I hope that patches aren't too regular. Unless Bohemia Interactive and Steam can somehow tune the patching system with ARMA2 over Steam. The last 134MB patch cost us Steam users around 4.5GB. I would not want to see this happen too often. My monthly internet bandwidth is 20GB (Shared upload/download). :banghead: p.s. Thanks for the update by the way Placebo. Always nice to hear news on what we can expect with the game. :ok:

And if you are lucky enough like me and got the game off Steam. Then you got to download this 134MB patch at the size of 4.5GB. Yes, on Steam the patch is not 134MB but 4.5GB. And best of all You don't have a choice but to download/install the patch. If you disable the option to automatically download the patch. Then the game refuses to start. So my suggestion to you would be to give it a shot. If you don't like what the patch did for you. Then just reinstall the game. As for myself. I would expect that I'll be downloading another 4.5GB patch again in the near future when they update the game again... grrrrr...

I've gotten a performance drop with the patch. Also some textures don't look so sharp as before. I have Steam version. So I guess us Steam users will be downloading another 4.5GB patch again soon. :banghead: :391:

I'm surprised that the game even started up. I tried installing it on my second PC (I have Steam version) for my dedicated server and the game won't even start up properly. My second PC has an AMD X2-4200 and a Geforce 6800. But it runs the server fine. This game uses an extreme amount of resources. If you drop all the settings and play it, the game probably won't look as good as ARMA1. I just had to drop $260 in my PC to upgrade to the Q9550 CPU. :eek:

A buddy of mine just got the game today at EBGames here in Quebec, Canada. They said that they had it last Friday (July 24th). And it was the only one on the shelf. I am happy I bought mine through Steam way back when it first was available. But having a Boxed version of the game sure looked nice. :rolleyes: Either way. The game still rocks!!!

You mentioned that you tried the latest version of the TrackIR software (version 5.5beta) and it was not working for you. Did you try using version 5.4 beta software? I was having issues with WindowsXP. The TrackClip Pro would work fin in the TrackIR software. But not work in my games. I then tried the version 5.4 beta drivers and then everything worked fine. Here's the link to the version 5.4 drivers. http://media.naturalpoint.com/softwa....0.beta.04.exe

No problem. When I saw your email. I suspected that you were having the same problem as me. And I just found this out this weekend. So your timing was perfect...lol Have fun with the TrackIR. It's an awesome product. Takes a while to get use to in ARMA/ARMA2. But once you get used to it, it is great. Especially when flying. Just another little note. I myself disable the lean and zoom functions of the TrackIR in ARMA2. I like using the head movements. But the lean and zoom sometimes get you killed. Often times I play the game until I start to fall asleep. I then find myself starting to lean in my chair and this will cause your character to go into a lean and go from running to walking. And I dislike having the zoom available. This is when you lean forward, you will zoom. It is nice when you use a rifle. It saves you the trouble of having to use a key to zoom. And you can zoom in the amount you wish. BUT, it is very dangerous when flying. All of a sudden you are looking around in your chopper and you go into a zoom and your perspective is all messed up. And we know what happens after that. If you wish to disable those axis. The best is to create a new profile(I like using the Smooth profile, so I made a copy of it) and then I disabled those axes with the check-marks. And if you really want to set yourself up. You can assign that profile to ARMA2. This way the profile loads when the game starts. Enjoy :cool:

Hi, I think you may be having the same problem with mine. Are you using the TrackClip(metal clip with reflectors) or the TrackClip Pro(Plastic USB clip with lights)? If you are using the TrackClip Pro then you may be having the same problem as many others. I bet that your yellow or green light comes on in the game. But the blue light is not on... It is not going into Enhanced Mode. I could not get it to with with the TrackClip Pro with the version 4 final drivers and the version 5-beta5 drivers either. I play FSX and ARMA2 on a daily basis. The trackIR worked flawlessly with the reflective TrackClip but I gave my soul to the devel and it still did not work with the TrackClip Pro. After a few hours of beating my head on the desk. I found that there was a version 5-beta4 drivers that works perfect for me. Give them a shot and see if they work for you: http://media.naturalpoint.com/software/TrackIR_5.0.beta.04.exe A little tip... If you start the game and forgot to start up the TrackIR software. Just Alt-Tab to the desktop and start the software. Then go back into the game and go into your controller settings and then click "Disable" then "Enable" to initialize the TrackIR. Hope this helps... And save you many hours like me of digging through the forum. If you would like to contact tech support. Just head on over to the Naturalsoft forums and post your question. They have excellent tech support on their forum. It's a great product with great support.. p.s. When you install the new drivers. Don't forget to close and uninstall the other version 5-beta5 software. You can still keep your installation of version 4. So long as they are not installed into the same folder. I have both version 4 and version 5.4 installed onto my pc at the moment. Good luck :)

I upgraded my CPU... WOOT!!! I slapped in an Intel Q9550 and it made a world of difference for me... I blew my old scores (see the above quote) away. This is what I came up with: Texture Detail - Normal Video Memory - Normal Anistropic Filtering - Normal Antialiasing - Normal Terrain Detail - Normal Objects Detail - Normal Shadow Detail - Normal PostProcess Effects - Low View Distance - 2000 Monitor - 1280x1024 WindowsXP-32bit = 3672 Windows 7-64bit = 3319 _________________________________ And turning things down a shade boosted the score a good bit more... Texture Detail - Normal Video Memory - Normal Anistropic Filtering - Low Antialiasing - Low Terrain Detail - Very Low Objects Detail - Low Shadow Detail - Normal PostProcess Effects - Disabled View Distance - 2000 Monitor - 1280x1024 WindowsXP-32bit = 4820 Windows 7-64bit = 4150 _________________________________ My current PC layout is now: Intel Q9550 @ 2.83Mhz (stock) XFX 8800GT 512MB (stock) 64GB DDR800 (stock) P5Q Motherboard

Thanks, I'll give it a shot then. Was getting to be a pain in the butt having to pull the lid off and swapping that SATA cable from one drive to the other. I think there's software's out there for this too? I remember a long time ago there was one called something like BootMagic? Don't know if they are still kicking around. Can't wait... Tomorrow I think my Intel Q9550 should show up. It'll be a jump from my Dual Core E6600 to this Quad Q9550. :D

Excellent piece of software. I had 21 shortcuts on my desktop for mods and servers. Now I have only ONE... Works great and easy to use. I recommend this for anyone who likes to have different layouts for different startups. Guaranteed to serve you well. Thanks Blakord

I thought about that too. I see the option for selecting your primary drive to boot with. But I have too much stuff on my drive is too important. So I didn't want to take the chance of some how getting something messed up. Probably won't do any harm having the second hard-drive showing up. But I don't want to chance it and loose any data. Thanks for the suggestion though. :)
