It is actually not a bug but I am having troubles with it

I am just creating a Mission that requires LD. In OFP ... Well: I ve never played MP in OFP because I had no internet this time ... there you had a LD and you were able to target something by just firing. Because I never created MP-Mission I didnt care about how to target the LD-'Thing' yourself - I only knew you could access it via 'nearestObject "LaserDesignatorTarget"', or something similar. Whatsoever: In Arma I wonder if it's normal that your 'LD' is a invisible truc which you can only look-trough and not 'just hold it in your hand'. Furthermore, it looks pretty stupid seeing other guys holding that invisible thing in their hands. Is that normal? And if you fly a plane and someone 'shoots' the LD - how can you target that thing? A further (third) question: I wonder how you can target things if you are in a jet or a helicopter!!! It's almost impossible to target a target which you cannot access via the 'Select next target'-button. So if you have to target a enemy T72 which isnt displayed red - because it doesnt move - or a house you have to destroy: I can find NO WAY to target it! You understand my problem ? Thanks in advance for your help! ManDay

Maybe there is a tool to disable Sprites somewhere in the www. But if - i dont know it. Try to search it or try If 3da can help you.

I removed the CFG. Still. It seems like noone can seee my server. Maybe nobody wants to join in 20 minutes - but i cannot imagine

Thanks for help! ManDay

I thing the way the gun movement is simulated in Arma/OFP is a lot more realistic than that in other games. I had probles when I started from OFP, too - but i got used too. <- Dont know any way to convert it

Thanks for the reply. I am not using the ded. Server. I will remove 'master.gamespy.com'

I cannot tell much from the things you posted - unforunally Maybe should post the details, which are included in this error-msg. but actually: i dounbt someone could help you with that - sry =)

<span style='color:#334488'><span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>Checkpoint Impasse</span> <span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'> GER/ENG - Patt am Checkpoint</span></span> Settings Gametype: Team Players: 2 Crews, 7 Soldiers - each Side Environment: 210645Adec07 - Cloudy Location: Bagango/Sara Mission The mission is supposed to be played without AI and with at least 3 Player on each sides. When the mission starts, you are in your transporter (a BMP-2 and a Stryker) and get told that you contact with a enemy tank a few meters away. See the Briefing for more This is my first Mission I ever made for MP, so it is not so large. I hope that it is fun to play it anyway. I hope the timelimit thing works if you enable it. I have never tried. Play the mission a few times to get used to the environment. Unfortunally I was not able to set up fog. This doesnt seem to work in MP-Games :/. PS: Dont leave the mission-area. Deserters will be shot Thanks for your patience - ManDay I would be glad if you could share it. It seems noone wants to join the game I hosted sometime Download http://mitglied.lycos.de/f4k32/ArmA/ -Sorry: direct link doesnt work-

Thanks, good site. I'll try to update the version there if there is anything to change (Can somebody PM me telling me how I can ajust the thing there?) Any comments on the mission so far? <span style='color:red'>Mission updated: -Mission ends if one side has been exstincted -BMP and Stryker hold 1 AT and 6 further projectiles -Timelimit error fixed</span> Big - please update if you have some time [Thanks Big for updating :>] PS: Dont care if the briefing is still saying v1.0 - i forgot to update it there

Never mind! But keep in mind: CHOOSE !NOT! TO COMPRESS SQS & SQM FILES IN THE PROPERTIES-DIALOG OF THE PBO-MAKER 1.1! IF YOU COMPRESS SQS THEY WILL NOT WORK!

Okay. I found one. I dont know whether it's 'too old' or something. But I guess it will work. I'll try it tomorrow. I am tire now http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/OFP:_Community_Tools#PBO_Editing >> MakePBO ManDay
