I'm guessing the answer should be "yes" since the ARMA2 patch 1.07 in OA 1.52 is the same one we all download anyway.

I patched ARMA2 to 1.07 first, THEN bought OA and installed that, and OA only came with patch 1.06 for ARMA2. It failed the patch for ARMA2 since I already had 1.07 installed. OA patch 1.52 is the one containing the ARMA2 1.07 patch.

I get this problem intermittently. I tried everything I could think of - removing LOCKED framerates, adding or removing the cursor during record, half size or full size... nothing "fixed" it. Sometimes it's a 1 FPS slideshow. Other times it records ok around 25 FPS. FRAPS v3.2.3 ARMA2 OA v1.52 AMD X64 5000+, 4GB RAM, Win7 32-bit (yeah I know, I have wasted RAM), ATI 5750 1GB DDR5 card.

That's what I thought too when I first heard the sounds. It just reminded me so much of OFP that it didn't even bug me. I couldn't turn on Hardware acceleration for audio in ArmA though, it'd crash my game all the time. Since switching to software mode, ArmA's been fine.

I happened to download the demo before OFP was released. I remember it was still back in 1999 or 2000, way before OFP was due to be released. I remember the demo as being the "mission 5" of the campaign, the one where you get into the jeep and drive around. Anyway I couldn't get the demo to run initially so I thought "Screw It, I won't buy the game" but I noticed that even though I may not have the correct version of DirectX (couldn't remember if it needed DX7 or DX8) installed, it could use Glide, where at the time I was using a Voodoo2 card. So I switched to Glide, played the demo, and went "Heeeyyy this one's cool, gonna get it when it comes out". About a year later it was released, and I bought it.

Hi guys, Something I have been wondering but never seen it specifically brought up is the scripting language - will it remain the same as in OFP now, or will it change? I'm just thinking that if the scripting language remains as it is now, it means the people making mods and missions now do not need to learn a new language, and they can just continue to do so. However, the language isn't really "friendly" to the new modder/mission maker guy, ie he needs some time to get used to the way the scripting language works, ie the current scripting language different from "normal" programming languages eg C/C++, Java etc.

I just would like the scripting language to be very close to C or Java kind... For example, in Neverwinter Nights, the scripting language was so close to C that many people didn't even need to "learn" how to use it.. they just needed a reference on all the functions and they can knock up a mod real quick. The one in the original OFP take some getting used to

I'm a veteran 3D glasses user and here's what I can say about them: On CRT - incredible! Things really look impressive and real, you can literally reach out with your hands and try to grab them. The monitor really seem to have depth and objects inside there are at the various depths. I have played the entire OFP and Morrowind as well as numerous other games in full 3D though them. On LCD - sometime this year (2005) my old CRT finally gave out, so I had to buy an LCD monitor because there weren't anymore CRT on sale at the local computer stores. Along with this, I purchased an LCD-capable pair of 3D Glasses. However I am disappointed with them. The effect, although still pretty convincing in terms of depth perception, things just look... blurry. On LCD, the drivers had to be put into Interlaced Mode, so things just looked much much darker, fainter, blurry. I was so disappointed that I uninstalled the glasses and put them away There was, for example, very limited ways to adjust stereo properties, eg convergence, backplane etc... hence while there may be some stereo effect, it is not as "WOW OMG WTF" as on a CRT.

Looking at the date of last post, it's been 3 years since Current info - 3D Glasses with LCD monitor support is now available, and I am once again playing OFP in full, true, 3D! Of course, check out the e-Dimensional website for details.

Where do I get this??

Perhaps, the answer lies in this - "Open Ended Missions". For example, say a basic "Assault the base" kind of mission. You don't necessarily make a "linear path" in which the player must go through. You put specific objectives and let the player decide how to accomplish them. Some games utilising this kinda technique are: Dues Ex, Thief, Neverwinter Nights, Independance War 2 - Edge of Chaos. Each "Problem" has multiple solutions. The player is free to decide how to solve the problem. So in the basic "Assault the base" all you need to do is think like a soldier occupying a base in an enemy territory - what would YOU do? How would YOU place your men around the place to "look after it?". That is how you place the "enemy forces". Then you start the player and his squad/platoon somewhere and tell him - "This is the base, you gotta capture it. Good luck, see you!". Well just my thoughts.

Mine's not that high end.. Pentium 4 3.06Ghz HT Gigabyte 8IK-1100 Rev 2.0 Intel 875P Chipset 1024MB DDR 400 RAM 120GB SATA Harddisk MSI GeForce 5700 LE SB Live!

I think perhaps he meant 1024MB... Well even with just 1024 MEGABYTES (ie 1 GB) of RAM, my swapfile is only 128MB. I have been keeping an eye on the swapfile for various games for awhile, and at the most, only about 18MB (yes 18 Megabytes) of it has been used for random stuff. Most times my 1GB RAM is hardly filled up more than 800MBs of stuff. The utility I used to do this is Cacheman from http://www.outertech.com/. Err I mean to monitor. Cacheman contains loads of handy tweaks too, though I use the monitoring part to keep track of my memory usage.

Yeah you said it.. I had the same problem here too and the -nomap thing fixed it EVEN THOUGH I do not have any 3rd party add-ons at all... it's a fresh install of OFP, Red Hammer and Resistance... I switched to a new computer and suddenly I got this weird grey screen and I came here to find some help... and the very first thread I see contained the solution Way to go guys! You rock!

From what I gather, Singapore's Army is using OFP as one of the training tools... and encouraging our soldiers to go out and buy OFP for themselves so that they can "practice". Right now it's in the very preliminary stage, it's kinda like "exploring" how they can save costs on logistics by having some training done on "simulators". OFP is one of those "simulators" the army here is thinking of. There are 3 others, (Army Operations is another game they are using as "simulators"). Well, like I said in some posts a long time ago, the size of the targets through the iron sights in OFP is wrong... IRL I can see and hit targets 300 metres away fine.. in OFP, anything over 150m is hard to see, much less hit! At 300m, a man standing is the same height as the foresight tip IRL.. in OFP.... a man standing at 200m is already shorter than the foresight tip.. the engine doesn't do scaling properly...
