Export the model to .3ds.

Well I can report the bug for you, I'd be very glad.

Utilities -> Reset XForm. The tab is in the same line as modify and create.

An Il-76 would be sweet.

He wants you to join. Then he's going to wake you up at 3 am and beat the crap out of you.

This could one of those mods that will change me from playing on very low terrain to low! Will check out soon, thanks man! This is one of the things that I dislike about ArmA, you just can't see enough through the grass while the AI can see enough.

EDIT: Got it! Thanks Synide!

Apologies walker for not reading the previous posts. I missed that. Well you have one person who reported activities, but that's about it. Have you tried contacting some server admins to get some more support?

Oh well, I'll have to learn char modeling on another occasion. I guess it'll take me at least three months to produce a semi-decent char, while it'll probably take me a week to fully modify ArmA models.

That's exaclty what would happen. Besides the mockery. And they'd ofcourse "forget" to file the report. You'd get exactly nowhere. Just like now.

CGTalk people are just so.... So much ahead of me that they make me feel like I'm some sort of ape. But I've completely forgotten that ArmA comes with a set of civies in shorts that are just ripe for editing and could fit perfectly with a bit of modification.

Ey Synide, is the FTP still on now are have you put it off for good? I hope you still keep it on at those hours you have it on, heh, I've just figured out I need a model. Also, did you perhaps also change one of the civs in shorts into MLOD? If not, could that be my request pretty please?

Well, I'm posting something I made very very quickly and I'm looking for help. Major help! This is the first time I've stepped into the realm of organic modeling(basicly something that is not a vehicle or a gun) and I'd require a lot of crits and help in this area to get this right. Help please! Even if you're harsh. I know this is complete crap. I plan on using BIS hands and head.

First check it in bulldozer. If it's not ok there then try to reset XForm. Also, attach all the model into one part.

I was wondering if one could get the specular value for specularPower in the rvmats from 3dsmax and it's specularity settings? Would it work? Also, does anybody have any tips on using the MatEditor?

Is it just me or does the new O2 3ds importer also import smoothing groups?

Who said anything about personal information? You'd create an account just like on the forums, you wouldn't have to input any personal information, just a username, password and cd key. @volkov956: that's why it'd only be used when playing online. LAN games are still offline. @xxbbcc: 1.Agreed. But then the login system can just be removed completely. 2. well if it's that simple, there wouldn't be a problem! 3. To each his own, in the end. 4. Yes and no. MP in this game is far too vunerable to be left alone. I do agree there are other issues that need fixing too, but that doesn't mean that you should leave Anti Cheating mesaures out.

I say leave them in. You might face a force like this in reality. Just becose it's hard, doesn't mean you should remove it. Thats my .50p Yeah, but it's not fun when you have 12 incompetent AI soldiers(god oh why don't they fire at the damn gunners FIRST! and the arty is just too slow. Plus the AI is sometimes far too accurate in firing and you can't even pullback fast enough. And then you add some 30 infantry...you get the idea. Don't remove all the UAZs, but at least bumping them down to 2 is more reasonable, perhaps instead of a UAZ with an AGS one with an MG. I'm not sure, but I think the horrible path finding around corazol prevents the AI tanks from coming to the northern part and I was wondering if you could set up a Satelitte base in North Sahrani? Just something to help you out. And I was hoping if you could add some more messages when ordering arty and airstrike, as in, a recieved message and on the way message and so on. And I was also wondering if we could choose the direction from which air support flies in. I don't think it'd be hard to implement, but I leave the decision to you. Hope I don't seem too demanding, great work otherwise!

Unfortunatley you are mistaken, that's all Col. Faulkners work. And nah Col. Faulkner, it's far from insignificant!

Yep.

So what? I also don't have a lot of money and saved up for ArmA. If you friend likes ArmA so much, he can save a bit by bit and eventually buy ArmA in one way or another. Just because your friend who uses an illegal copy plays coop in a respectable way doesn't mean that we should allow illegal copies to be used online. What's the point then? Why buy the game? This is one of the things that can restrict cheating to at least some extent, the very persistant will go on, but the casual script kiddie(the one that just downloads the cheats and plays around with them) will stop once he sees that you need to register or create an account with a valid key. @lwlooz: calm down, it's not like they'd be taking personal information.

A yes vote. I think the cheating side of the game has been neglected completely by BIS and one would expect a hotfix to include a key checker. The fact that there are months between patches and no guarantee that a new AC system will be implemented is bad for the game(I am not whining about the patches, but that the change list is put up just a day before the patch). And I'd be delighted to hear if BIS have done something against cheating, besides the addon signatures system. The addon signatures system also has a flaw that if the cheaters create their own addons and get a signature, then what good does that do?

The best option so far is the registration of keys. While it wouldn't completely stop cheating, it would produce an obstacle. Also, BIS needs to spew out some cash to hire some people to create and update a dedicated anti cheat system. That or use something that is already out there. A word spreads quickly via the internet, but a bad word spreads far quicker; for somebody who wants to get ArmA and views some reviews or asks some players and if he hears: bug ridden, full of cheaters, it's a definite turnoff.

Thanks man! Great tut.

Well not much news. I'm currently in the process of unwrapping everything which is the most boring part of the whole making of things process and at the same time I'm working on some British soldier refrence drawings, with help from Col. Faulkner. After that I'll have some more modeling and unwrapping to do and then I can start texturing and slowly R1 will start shaping up, then the island. A lot of work for one man. Basically, at least a couple of months. I'd be very glad myself if I'll be able to get an alpha working by christmas. Today is seven months since I started work on this mod and it's still nowhere near done, I've finally completed all the vehicle and weapons modeling for R1, but that's only half the deal, so you can imagine that there's a lot more to do.
