Any instructions on how to add a custom faction?

This is a very nice script. Any progress on it?

Thanks, I will try this out. As to your scolding: It got you to look at it didn't it? :) Thanks for the suggestion.

Ok, so I'm a little embarassed to ask this question, especially since I'm quite an advanced PHP scripter, but CANNOT figure out why this *VERY* simple script isn't working. Maybe I'm going about it the wrong way, but this is what I have: _num = round(random 1) _veh = format["at_%1",_num] {_x moveInCargo _veh} forEach units group wl As you can see, I just want the group of the unit named "wl" to board a randomized vehicle upon script execution. I have a naming convention with the vehicles as "at_*RANDOM*", random being the number that was generated by the random command at the beginning. The problem is that the moveincargo command isn't successfully executing. My guess is because of the _veh variable, as I can hard code the vehicle's name, and it works. Maybe I have that wrong. Any ideas? I suppose I could also create an array of vehicles willing to take the group, but I also need whatever vehicle that doesn't have the specific group in it, occupied another group.

Forgive me if this was mentioned already, but is this mod compatible with ACE?

Hey guys, I need help converting a description.ext that was used in one of my old missions in OFP that I would now like in ArmA. It has to do with dialogs There's quite a bit of data, but I'll post it.... I'm getting an error on activation that says: And then another when I try and press a button on the dialog: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> class cfgSounds { sounds[] = { button, codefound, wrongcode,Close_end,gatemoan,open_end};

Oh dang.... lol I don't think I will then. Thanks for all that info guys!

So I know that in OFP/OFPR you were able to decompress a PBO and get access to the in game music.... is this possible in ArmA?

Can they work together? In other words, can you use OFPR scripts in ArmA without changing anything? Are the commands the same, etc..? Also, is there a PRINTABLE COMREF anywhere? I would like a copy of it on hand as I'm editing missions. Thanks.

I can't believe those are real photos. That's CRAZY. Awesome work freddy boy.

This tool looks amazing!

Good to see Gavin and his team producing again!

Now THAT is some hilarious stuff... Where did you come up that idea? I swear you were high on something! ROFL

Do any of you know where I can find a USMC TOE? I'm basically looking for TOE's primarily for MEU (13th) and MFR units.

I may have some very useful info in regards to your AV-8B Harrier II. Check this link out: AV-8B Harrier II Check out that PDF file. It has LOTS and LOTS of detailed information in it that will most certainly help out. AV-8B Harrier II (Official US Marines site) I will continue to search for more info that I think would be useful to you guys and your good work. *edit* Do you guys have a website? If so what's the URL? If not, would you like one?
