You asked this another thread and got it locked. Post in addon request thread and if someone feels like doing it they will. Stop spamming all the threads for this. If no one does it learn to do it yourself.

Great idea for addon dude. When you get a chance ask in the addon editing thread. I believe the problem you might be having has to with textures. In the edit thread all the best addon guys will give you advice and there are also lots of tutorials. Good luck with you project.

§10) Do not dig up old threads Threads older than 4 months should not be dug up unless something significant is being added. If in doubt as to what is "significant", contact a moderator and they will give you their opinion. As always old threads will remain open or be closed at the moderator's discretion. Digging up an old thread simply to ask "any news" is also not acceptable, PM the thread starter or mod leader to ask.

Guess people keep missing that rule about bringing up old post. To answer your question place the carrier and then group it to a us soldier and set his probability of presence to zero. Now the carrier will be on your side and AI will not shoot it.

First of all you posted in wrong section. Unless you were making an addon your post is a request and does not belong here. An idea for an addon that you are not making yourself is still a request. Also if you read my post ( which it seems you have not ) you will see that I sent you to Armaholic and that the search for halo script was so you can get what you needed from it. Not for you to add halo to your mission but to get the parachute part from it. Read before you condescend. As you can see from the other post here the response your getting is the same about the chutes. The way you made your post indicates that you wanted more control over the chutes. The answers you got solve the control issue. Take a bit more time and reword your post (also make sure it is in correct section ie adding request) and try again. Not mad at you. You need to take the time seeing that your new and learn how things are done here. Take your time and get a feel about things before you ridicule the people trying to help you as you obviously don't have the skills to help yourself. Thanks.

Wld427 its your mod and your the one doing all the work. All the haters can eat paint and die. I love the fact it is an older helo. A new version does not fit at all with what your doing. Keep up the great work and as always if you need help just ask.

Thanks for the reply Eble. Nice to know your on top of things and work still goes on. See a simple courtesy pm would of fixed this in first place and none of this would of happened.

When pilots missed the wires we all used to yell "Bolter!". Was always fun when in vultures row waiting for them to do traps. Now I need to animate the hook on the A4 for your carrier so it looks good. I might have some hanger deck picks when we did a west pac if you still need picks for inside stuff.

Nope. Only ace has chutes you can steer. There is a script for ARMA1 that might work in ARMA2 that lets you halo and steer. Got to Armaholic and search under ARMA1 for HALO script. You can also post in correct forum section. This belongs in Mission edit/scripting as this has nothing to do with an addon your making or a new script. In the Mission edit/scripting section the right people will see it and might just hae the scipt you need for your mission already made.

The addon fixing was fine in this case. The only problem was that the first post did not refer or had what soucy said about people working/fixing problems on his addons. Others on these forums jumped the gun and started throwing out big words like stolen and ripped off instead of a simple pm about the permissions. The fault really goes to those in the past who have modded stuff and released them with out permission. Like I said before I have lots of addons that I have fixed and modded for myself and have not released anything due to permissions. EVERY ADDON MODDER/FIXER NEEDS TO POST IF THEY GOT PERMISSION TO WORK ON AN ADDON. If they tried and could not get permission they need to ask a moderator if it is OK to release before making a post to avoid any problems. Simple solution to a big problem. The mods are super busy. They have personal lives and other work to do instead of policing the forums 24/7. Most of the older people from the community try and help out as much as they can to ease their work. The problem that keeps coming up is a lot of the newer members are not taking the time to read the rules and follow advice. They would not have survived long back in the OFP days. The mods were super hard on those that broke the rules. Forum members are getting off easy nowadays.

Optimus Prime?

Good going so far Firehead. Its about time we get somemore scifi stuff ingame.

I have updated and fixed lots of addons from OFP and Arma1 but have not released anything due to lack of permissions. I follow the forum rules about asking and try every single email I find and visit other forums to send messages. For most I have yet to get a response and the rules say if you have tried every available resource and have no such luck you can release it. For me that is not good enough due to all finger pointers that have of lately joined these forums. Once you get tagged as an "addon thief" it never goes away. The point is this community is not the same as it was back in OFP days and looks like it never will be again unless all the "new guys" clean up their act and start supporting the addon makers instead of bashing them. They need to look at the past and see all the cool and weird stuff that was made and used even if they were not the most eye caching or had the best features.

Every one needs to relax. First off the original poster should of let it be known that it was OK to mod/fix the addon. Everyone else were just worried about the original maker's rights not being violated. A simple PM could of taken care of this on their part. Posters should be more careful about the words they use in the forums. "Steel", "robed" are just a few examples. They are very damaging with out meaning to be.

Chill out tank. You were privileged to all the info and the rest of us were not. Now that the issue has been resolved and we have the same information that you had since the beginning all is good. Making a cryptic post like this in the first place was all your doing.

Use the search button and read the FAQ. For some reason there are frequently asked questions in the FAQ about stuff like this.

Real nice skins. If you release them as an addon I will be first to download them. They fit in with one of my side projects.

Not a big deal. PM a mod to lock/delete. They are Verry understanding.

Now we get to the gravy. Nice work so far. What type of versions are you gonna do (civi, cargo, military)?

Why is this not locked yet? The original maker did not post this nor is there any solid information on it. If this was an official BIS addon it would be on one of the many Bohemia pages not an addon thread with zero information. Also is this not against the rules to post stuff about an addon if you don't have permission to do so from original maker?

Soldiers are great but I am more on the hardware side of things. Any plans on vehicles? A tripod blasting holes in the ground would rock.

Am I seeing double?

Sweet. I upgraded form myslef but this works also.

Request go in the addon request thread. Please don't open a new thread if your not working on it yourself.

Cool idea. Hope to see some wip screen shots soon. Look out for Maxie he hates anything RPG that is not his idea.
