Problem has been solved by Pillage the Legend HURRAH ! ! ! !

Hi all, yeah its this old chestnut but im still having trouble with the transparency side of things. Before we start, I've read the wiki guide and done it step by step and still my transparency does'nt save. so I've got my emblem, I can get it to work online, but the transparency does'nt save when I convert to .paa. It just shows up white background in MP. I've tried direct .paa save, .tga-.paa coversion save, different colour ranges, I do have the correct dimensions. I just can't see why it aint working. I'm not that great with arty programs but I've read photoshop guide for transparency and can make it work on photoshop... just not ArmA. Anyone got Xfire, Msn that I could maybe send the file to, and you send me back a working transparent background? all help is appreciated. Btw - my search turned up nothing that could help me. Preach

Yo only me, been looking through the mods in more detail and just need some clarification... Am I correct in saying the NWDdispersions affects only the default weapons, and under the SIXweapons>defines.hpp only affect the custom SIXweapons that have been added? Also, now that I have found the RAC SKA mercs, I cannot find the High dispersion version of them, have they been disabled? I basically want very long firefights with the AI dispersion much much bigger. So I guess my question is, what is the best file to edit to increase dispersion all around? Preach

Thanks sickboy I found the mercs, but I have another question. I have trolled through many readme's and the wiki with no avail so here goes... I run the latest Fromz sound pack, I love it, but the 6thsense stuff seems to override it. So my question is, how can I disable the 6thsense sound and ensure only Fromz is running? And also how to disable Dr Eyeballs view distance selector off the action menu? I also get a small error saying the Fromz soundpack has been deleted or move so cannot play/edit the mission (even though I can still play it) however, I've checked the mission.sqm and made sure its not a requirement, I've checked the Arma launcher mod path to ensure its launching Fromz and checked he dir of the sound pack but I cannot see where I am going wrong. Any ideas? Preach

So i've got the 1gig (6thSense.eu Mod v1.24) mod pack and notice the ska_RAC units are in it but I cannot find them anywhere in the editor? Are they disabled, hidden or have they changed editor name since the standalone release? Preach

** deleted - I found what I was looking for

Can you tell me exactly how you did that, im a nub at scripting and having the same trouble. Eject is the only option for my other jumpers. thanks

Guys I posted a possible solution in the wrong thread http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin....;st=180 Find my post about 2/3 the way down. Its a long shot but worth a try.

Hi remember me? I'm the guy running an ATI x850 xt pe with no graphic distortions..... well for all you unlucky ATI people out there, I **might** have found a fix..... I was tweaking my system as I usually do every now and then. Wohoo! Anyway, I downloaded this freeware called Advance System Optimizer. Had a play about, and I found an option not enabled called  "Enable Large system Cache" - I could'nt resist so I enabled it. Restarted the machine and tried to play Arma.... Well well well, as soon as the map loaded I had the exact same graphic distortions as all the previous screenshots showed. I rebooted again just to make sure something else was'nt interfering, and the same distorted results. Back into ASO and disabled it, and low and behold ArmA is back to no graphic distortions and plays fine (apart from CTD during weapon select and breifing) So here's a possible fix for you guys, you might have ran a tweak program in the past and had no adverse effects. But I suggest downloading this program, and make sure the "Enable large system cache" is disabled. If it is enabled, disabled it and try arma, hopefully you'll be able to play. If it is already disabled, enable if, reboot, try arma, if you get the same graphic distortion, disabled it again and reboot and pray  Remember you have to reboot the machine to make sure its taken effect. http://server6.theimagehosting.com/image.php?img=system cache.JPG All I can say is goodluck!

Brabax your PSU is far too low mate. You need atleast 500W for PCI-E cards setup but I'd say play it safe and go for a 550W or 600W. Also bear in mind a PSU never runs at the wattage it says on the box. Good ones will be 80-90% efficient and bad ones will only be around 60-70% efficient. 400W PSU @ 75% efficiency = 300W true PSU Â as an example Alot of PCI-E cards draw 150Watts. Your components will only draw what power it needs so you don't 'waste' electricity. The reason you dont see much change in core temps is because the components will most likely not be running at full potential. Also, not enough power = crashes .. generally speaking I can sell you a 570W PSU for 40 quid if you like never used Preach **EDIT** Â All those with memory errors like ... "Exception code: C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION at 4FD903D7" try the below link http://www.errorkiller.com/ Run a scan and see what the results say.

Earlier I posted I was using ATI 6.12 drivers. Well, I was wrong I'm using 6.11 drivers and im getting no graphic distortions. Any ATI person out there who has'nt tried 6.11 give it a go. Remember to uninstall old ones properly first :/

Hmm, due to the high volume of ATI users getting shafted on the demo and full game, I'm sure either BIS or ATI themselves will be rewriting some code somewhere to help sort out the ATI drivers. They would be mad not to. For BIS it'd loose like half customers For ATI it drive potential buyers to Nvidia I only hope someone will get a fix before the game goes retail UK.

@Jack-uk I've no idea what the exact differences in the demo are but atleast get the latest/proper. Could be more stable, I have really no idea as I never got the 5108 version. Don't ask questions just get the latest version. EDIT @OFCAt This problem was fixed on these forums somewhere already, I dont have time to look for but it the SEARCH button is your best friend. I think someone searched for that file and downloaded if off the net individually. And just dumped it into the right place. search for it! #EDIT Reinstall DirectX ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ http://www.microsoft.com/downloa....lang=en

I will post this here as I found it looking for the systemboost. Ultimate Defrag made by the same company is also pretty sweet. It defrags the HDD's properly unlike the built in windows defrag. I suggest reading the help file as it tells you how to defrag a gaming system - basically putting you window folder and allows you to select all your games folders seperately and individually puts them on the outter tracks of the HDD. And packs the other folders of no great imports to the inside tracks. That way your HDD's dont need to work so hard to find the software for games etc I suggest leaving your system on all night while you sleep as this takes a while. Preach

Be mindful of the CPU temperature aswell, alot of the new CPU's auto underclock themselves if they get too hot, thereby reducing performance greatly without you even noticing.
