Here's a small COOP mission I got inspired to make while playing CWR-mod and waiting for ARMA2. Mission is set on Podaga island so it requires FDFmod and Queen's Gambit expansion. With group respawn the mission is also playable in single player. The objective is pretty straightforward; destroy empty T-72's and a fuel depot in SLA base. With good enemy detection capabilites and heavy reinforcements around the corner it might not be as easy as it sounds. Mission type: COOP 1-6 players Objective: Destroy empty tanks and fuel depot in SLA base Map: Podaga Time: Dusk, Moonlight/Night Side: US Play time: 30 minutes or less Respawn type: Group Addons required: Queen's Gambit, FDFmod Arma version: Tested in Beta-1.16 Download: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=5984 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YM13BEOO (Thank You for Armaholic mirror.) Installation: Copy co_06_moonlight_sabotage.FDF_Isle1.pbo to ArmA MPMissions folder.

Once you start eating apples you will never put oranges to your mouth. Azamato, you can already pre-download AA3. Anyways not to go too much offtopic AA3 thread is here: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=70273 Great news about the demo. It's good to know how the game will run or is some harware upgrades needed. :)

Maybe you have high viewdistance in singleplayer but in multiplayer mission/server enforces lower viewdistance and thus the problem doesn't occur. Just a guess, don't have A2 yet. :)

ArmA runs fine on core 2 duo processors but the game will only use one core. Just update to the latest version: http://www.armedassault.com/dwnl_update.html You can also try the latest beta version: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA_Beta_Patch_1.16

Our hero Clive talks about OFP:DR AI and features. Nothing new really but hadn't seen the interview before.

Seems to require also EditorUpdate_v102.

The forum search doesn't seem to work for words with three letters. For three letter search I only get: For two letter search I get: Three letter search could be useful. For example lots of mod names are three letters. :)

I just hope there's option to disable custom faces/sounds on client side. Nothing kills immersion more than running into some skull faced soldier or hearing annoying-thing-sound five times in a row.

Theres 24-hour option in User CP > Edit Options > Forum Language > English (24 hour time)

Make sure you don't have old beta folder in ArmA main folder.

I think that bug is ArmA related. I remember having it few times in ArmA 1.14 (+sound mod) while playing Warfare. It happened to me also while reading map and getting killed. At least one time I was creating a marker on the map when I died and had this bug.

You could try grouping the civilian vehicle to opfor man and set that mans probability of presence to 0%.

You know there's a Domination AI version with the original Domination mission pack. In it you can "recruit" up to 8 AI-soldiers at the airport. It shouldn't be too hard to include this feature in XAM-version too. Better ask _Xeno_ about it.

You can use arrow keys to move in the build-view. With mouse I couldn't move South either.

One way is to use Firefox's smart keywords feature. With it I write for example bi setFuel to addressbar in order to use the search. Now with Firefox 3 I probably get the page suggested in addressbar if I've visited that page before.

I'm also experiencing these graphics corruptions with my 8800 GTS 512. I don't think they are heat related be cause sometimes it happens after few minutes playing and sometimes I can play hours w/o any graphics glitch. Before the corruption happens the screen freezes for several seconds and then the my graphics look something like in the first pic below. ArmA's flush command doesn't fix it. If I manage to get to the ArmA's video settings and change anti-aliasing to different value the game rerenders all graphics correctly and I'm good to continue playing. Today I had for the first time the tree-replaces-all-textures-bug as seen in second pic. (Yesterday I installed latest GeForce drivers 175.19, before I used 175.16.) This might be just a hunch but I have a feeling this corruption happens most often when I'm doing right-click zoom in game.

Cool action-packed mission. Clearing buildings to stop AI respawn is much welcomed change in v2. Did anyone get this to run on linux server? For some reason our linux server crashed immediately when giving #missions command on server. After removing the mission the server worked ok. Mission filename was all lower-case. Didn't test if this happened with v1.

You are missing a comma after "z1". This error is in DAC readme pdf. Just check the examples that come with DAC or this thread.

I'm experiencing strange lag/jerkiness with beta 1.11. It's like the game constantly freezes for few milliseconds once a second or so. If I monitor my fps I don't see a drop there. The phenomen  is easiest to spot by moving sideways and see the image jump as if several frames were missed. I tried with different versions of gpu drivers with no help. (Now using Cat 8.3.) If I switch back to my backed-up beta 1.09 folder the problem always disappears. Never had this problem with any previous ArmA versions either. Windows XP Pro SP2, ATI Catalyst 8.3 C2D E4300 @ 3GHz Sapphire Radeon X1950 Pro 256 MB Abit AB9 2 GB DDR2-800 EDIT: Problem sees to be fixed now. Must have been some gpu driver setting. Maybe related to vsync although I tried that before too.
