Dan ick(uk)

Well i dont really have a bad thing to say about arma,i love it like i loved ofp,What really impresses me is the community,an also the developers\community relationship ie,How BI keep you informed etc...... Dont get me wrong a few little things bug me like hand through the grenade launchers etc...(all the obvious ones) But 1 inparticular is starting to annoy me a little bit,Its the animations,not all just when i see someone running and i blast them in the back with say a sniper rifle or whatever gun,they stop then the death animation kind of kicks in,it annoys me a lot because ofp had a smooth transition,ie the man who you shot in ofp would look like he had been shot an fall straight to the ground like he really had been hit with a bullet in the back,i hope people understand what iam trying to say,that is probably the best i can do to explain it,damn my stupidity.... All the best Dan

Why dont you ask someone? I am sure many people would be more than willing to help you to learn how to make your work an addon instead of overwriting the original files. I am sure that if you would release your work as an addon more people would enjoy your very good work I cant be of any help though cause I dont know anything about that kind of editing. Â Hi mate yeh i agree about making it into an addon as i dont want to replace any of the orig weapons. They look excellent by the way.Top work there matey All the best Dan

thats a good vid that is,ive seen it before but cudnt remember where ive been searching for it for the last few days,but glad you posted it,and yeh not very exciting uniform at all. Easy now. Dan

Hi mate, If you still need help with the hex-editing just pm me your msn address an my friend will help you,he mods for gtr2 and rfactor,so i asked him for some assistance and he said he would help if you still need it. All the best Dan

hi, This is probably a totally stupid question,but does anybody know if it will work with the german version of the game or am i going to have to buy the 505 release and the expansion now. SORRY for my stupidity,ive just woke up and seen this,im quite excited to say the least,oh even if i hadnt just woke up id still be as stupid hehe All the best Dan

there was alot of great songs in the OFP VTE release imo,as long as all of them are in the mod i'll be very happy indeed Its all looking an sounding good,keep up the excellent work All the best Dan

THANKS matey Ill try that now. Much appreciated,all the best Dan

Hi, But dont you need to 'unassignvehicle' aswell,well its different in arma to ofp,as basically iam making a mission with some paratroopers i have written a really basic script for the para's to eject - <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> s1 action ["eject",chp1] ~0.5 s2 action ["eject",chp1] ~0.5 s3 action ["eject",chp1] ~0.5 s4 action ["eject",chp1] ~0.5 s5 action ["eject",chp1] ~0.5 s6 action ["eject",chp1] ~0.5 s7 action ["eject",chp1] ~0.5 s8 action ["eject",chp1] ~0.5 s9 action ["eject",chp1] ~0.5 s10 action ["eject",chp1] But what happens is when they eject,they are told by the leader of the group to board the plane\heli again,in ofp you would put 'unitname unassignvehicle vehiclename' but this seems to hav no effect in arma at all,well i could be writing it wrong,not sure tbh,Has anyone got any ideas? Im not meaning to hijack the thread by the way,sorry. All the best Dan

hi mate, Why dont you just get the object ID and setdammage the fence ie- (position gl1 nearestObject 161373) setdammage 1 GL1 being the name of the gamelogic,so basically place a gamelogic within 50 metres of the object you want destroying an then get the ID number and put that code in a trigger or whatever Hope this helps. Also i dont want to hijack the thread but how do i create an explosion? I used to do it like this in ofp - ordnance = "shell120" camcreate [getpos trigname select 0,getpos trigname select 1,100] But as you probably all know 'camcreate' doesnt work in arma,does anybody know how to do this in ARMA. THANKS in advance All the best Dan

hi, You could try - [unitname] join groupname I cant test it because im not at home but i think thats what it was in ofp, Hope it helps Dan

Hi,the units are looking top matey. For weapons i found this,if its any help - http://www.eliteukforces.info/special-air-service/weapons/ All the best Dan

Hey skaven THANKS for these soldiers and weapons matey,they are awesome,Excellent work You da man Iam also looking forward to all the new stuff aswell,cant wait. Keep up the excellent work mate All the best Dan

Hey guys, THANKS for this,i havnt tried it yet but im goin to tonite cant wait,Im glad you can all work together on such projects thats what sets the ARMA\OFP community apart from any other,as i come from the gtr2 community and more or less everyone is always at each others throats,apart from a few people who actually know the score. THANKS for the work guys,much appreciated. All the best Dan

That's the M107, it was first introduced with the 505 release and later brought to all with patch 1.05 @ThePredator: Downloaded the mod and gonna try it out over the next days. I'm using FDF sounds atm, but don't really like the reverb on most of the weapons. Thanks for doing this and keep up the good work. THANKS matey,Dont know how i didnt actually realise this . THANKS for the addon Predator,top notch All the best Dan

Hi mate, THANKS for the addon looks top from the preview vid,i cant try it till tomorrow tho ffs ,on the preview part1 where did you get the sniper rifle that looks like the barrett from? the 1 the AI is using,or is it called something else,I have been looking for this for days now. Thanks for the addon,cant wait try it. All the best Dan

Hi mate, First off,nice maps i love em,I was playing 1 earlier tonight and i noticed that you could use an M107 .50 and an M16 with acog sights,I was wondering if i can use these weapons in mission editor as i love the M107? Does anyone know if this is possible...... THANKS in advance. All the best Dan
