hi i was wondering if anybody has the flag pack currently created by Jerryhopper here ---->linky if they do and know how to make a work around so this pack will work with the current version of arma or does anybody know what .paa file i need to link these flags too so i can create my own any infomation would be very helpful

well the title says it all i want to start making 3d models, and to tell you the truth im a complete noob does anybody know of any good starting tutorials and what tools i need to use to make it compatable with arma also i was looking at ofp addons and i was trying to learn how to port over mods and addons (with the mod/addons authorisation of course) into arma to see how it all works. with porting ofp mods over i already have photoshop cs2 in place and i have o2 and bulldozer but to be honest im cack at it im having trouble viewing the p3d or 3d models within the ofp o2 viewer, im an avid arma player spending about 8 hrs a day designing missions and re-texturing (skinning troops) i would just like to get into learning how to port over opf mods and create models for the game

then hit preview and voila. that flag pack does work in the current version of ArmA, it throws up an error message upon start up saying "you need v1.2 of this application" but its crap mate, just hit ok and ArmA will boot up fine. you'll only see the flags in-game if you place a flag pole (i.e empty\objects\flag) and then use this in the init line of the flagpole. <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> this setflagtexture "\flags\unitedkingdom.jpg" then hit preview and voila. thanks soul catcher

does anybody have any screenies to post ?

I wish i was then i could hire somebody else to do it for me lol

i have tried blender and o2 i find them limited and when i mean im serious about modding only the best will do hehe thats just me

thank you messiah, i am intending to use this program to the fullest, why go out and get a 3rd party modeling software when you can get the best,the reason i got the best is becouse im serious about this game and has i have explained in other post i spent about 8 hrs a day looking in mods, editing pbos config files etc i want to learn every aspect about modding so my aim is to start off small mabye start on making russian cold war weapon platforms and the weaponry they used in this era so any help with tutoral would be helpful in this matter

Right guys heres my dilemma, i love this game but i detest the ingame sounds i was wndering in your opinon which is the best sound mod out at this moment in time ? FDF Sound Pack 1.1 http://www.fdfmod.org/downloads.html ArmA Realism soundpack v1.0 http://armed-assault.net/news/arma-realism-soundpack-v10.html VF RealSoundPatch V1 for Arma 1.08 http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin....t=64417 or this Modern Warfare Modification for Armed Assault http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin....l=sound

so your saying if i change my .sqs to this above then all should be good to go

ive tried this but it doesnt work class Animations { class MoveDoor { type="rotation"; // always "rotation" animPeriod=1; // how long it takes for the movevement to finish selection="door"; // the name of the moving object axis="door axis"; // the name of the axis angle0=0 // the start angle angle1=-2.0; // the end angle, in radians (= degrees/57.3 = degrees * 180/π }; }; class UserActions { class OpenDoor // action to open the door { displayName="Open Door"; // string that's displayed in the action menu position="doorbell"; // name of the 'action point' radius=1.5; // how close the player has to be see this action condition="this animationPhase ""MoveDoor"" < 0.5"; // check whether the door has moved already statement="this animate[""MoveDoor"",1]"; // and if not, then start the animation onlyforplayer = true; // requirement by ArmA - presumably defines if AI can/cannot open doors etc }; class CloseDoor // action to close the door { displayName="Close Door"; position="doorbell"; radius=1.5; condition="this animationPhase ""MoveDoor"" < 0.5"; statement="this animate[""MoveDoor"",0]"; onlyforplayer = true; }; };

i tired to take a look at it but i couldnt make any sense of it if anybody could make me a script that opened wire netting fence door left wire netting fence door right either as a roller gate ie either the right or left or open both these gates like a door please please somebody help as this would be awesome

Mr Guarnere i think i know what the problem is i had he same error with my buildings.pbo when trying to pacth the european version of the game to 1.05 and 1.08 the problem is not that hard to fix, it seems to me that when originaly patched the game i was using my old dvd drive to install the game (installed as usual but once patching the patches would show errors) but once i installed a new dvd it all patched up perfectly thru both patches so just check your dvd drive and see if its not that, i can garentee it is that whats causing your problem. but make sure you do a fresh re-install before patching

yeah i have the european version published by 505 Games
