Hey guys! Arma 2 and OA being a sandbox game, I like to RP my character. All I simply want is a SecOps mission in Chenarous with me as the Americans, versus the Russians. Or I would even be happy with vice versa. I don't like doing the built in SecOps missions because the enemies are too random with CDF, etc. Please, point me in the right direction! Thanks in advance.

Okay thanks, I took some initiative here. I have intense ACM now spawning only Russians and USMC, as well as infinite support from CAS/Artie, etc etc. Now, with these SecOps missions, how to I make the SecOp manager to only spawn Russians for the random missions? That I'm stumped on, the Wiki doesn't seem to help with this one.

Hey guys, I have a question about the custom patrol missions that are built in ARMA 2/OA. I would like to choose my side, and my enemies side, but I am unable to do this. I see a tab called "units" next to name,map,time, etc etc. But this units tab is greyed out. I assume this is where I can choose my side, and my gear. Going in their with CPU chosen gear and teams really suck! Thanks in advance!

Bump!

Thanks for the response. I think you misunderstood me. These aren't the built in pre determined missions, or player made downloaded ones. These are the SecOps missions, where you receive missions from HQ to find weapon caches, destroy enemy position, patrol, etc etc. You are able to adjust the weather, time, etc. My problem is, I can't adjust what team I'm on. Let's say I want to be American doing missions against the Russians in SecOps, is this possible? I see a units option, but this button is greyed out. Thanks!

First of all, I feel Bohemia is improving mission design and atmosphere with campaigns like EW. Here is my question, and it contains spoilers. You are obviously "rescued" by Spetnatz, by why do they kill their own soldiers in battle? We enter a harbor town and they just light up fellow Russian soldiers like nothing. Am I missing a plot point?

No, there are Chedaki, guerillas, and Russians all fighting in the town.

Could somone point me to the mod that reduces the tree graphic hogness, and the grass? Thanks!

Dude. Both of your systems are fine. I have a P4 3.1Ghz 2gig ram ATI 1650 512mb XP home I play on 1024x728 with medium settings and 2x AA with no slowdown, I could probably put some settings at high.

I want to change the weapon of my riflemen to the M16, instead of the M4. I searched and searched, and found some commands, Lets assume my players name is "arma" I type in: removeallweapons arma;arma addweapon M16 What I have above is EXACTLY what I type, yet it doesn't work. I can make my character start with nothing at all, but I can't have him start with the M16. This seems harder than it looks, and pasting this command in every soldier will get annoying, but I really would like my men to use the M16. Thanks so much!

- Dissappearing sound with alot of action on screen. I'm in a large battle, and seems like I'm by myself, I can't even hear my own weapon firing. -When firing from Fortress 2 (The larger one) near the window slits, you can see more than you should, hard to explain, but I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.

Thanks alot, finally have a M16, didn't think I had to add the "" around the weapon, awesome. Now looking up how to add magazines. Appreciate the help.

Yah, just like the US "wiped the floor" with Iraq E They did, Gulf War 1 and 2 are considered some of the most successful military campaigns in the history of mankind. Occupation is a different matter. MehMeh saying it wouldn't take more than three hours, probably isn't exaggerated too much.

The SLA in the north would be completely destroyed from a few MOABs. Two or three Abrams platoons would destroy all enemy armor in the South, Gulf War anyone? Their infantry would quickly retreat and surrender under so much firepower, once again, refer to the Gulf War. It would be a massacre, ended in 12-36 hours. If the US was completely cut off from any reinforcements and support for a few days or a week, US casulties would occur, but they would be light, and would only delay the enevitable. Guerilla warfare would be minnimal or non existent, this isn't an Islamic regime, plus the population is very small.

Okay, I don't know what the issue is. I did a search, found threads, followed it's advice, and even used Chris briefing editor, but it doesn't work. Here is my briefing: <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1250"> <meta name="GENERATOR" content="BGENv1.01"> <title>SU-34 Nightmare</title> </head> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <!-- Notes --> <h2><a name="Main"></a></h2> <p>Apparently, the SLA are threating all shipping in the area with their brand new SU-34s imported from Russia. Command decided against a bombing campaign with all their wisdom. Apparently, our agents have been there for months doing recon and stirring up civil unrest. Our length of deployment is unknown...</p> <hr> <!-- Plan --> <p> <a name="plan"></a> Insert VIA CRRC, meet agent, strike airfield eliminating all three SU-34s, then escape back to the safe house.</p> <hr> <!-- Debriefing --> </body> </html> Okay, it's named briefing.html, it is an html file, it's not the wrong extension. It's in my missions folder, and yes the mission is exported. Can someone please help me? The mission is called SU-34 Nightmare.

Thanks alot for the help guys, but for some reason, maybe I'm retarded, I can't get it to work. Okay, I took what you posted, copied and pasted it, it's saved for sure as an html file. It's name is briefing. I drag and drop it into the mission folder. I save my mission, and export it to single missions, but alas, the briefing does not appear. Do I have to save it as something else? Do I save it as SU-34 Nightmare, the name of my mission? Very frustrated, thanks again in advance.

Thanks for the info Wolfrug

When playing the single mission Commander, I always get a crap three red X score, very frustrating. I might lose just one man, in a 14-15 man squad, and get several kills. I need a good score to unlock the last single mission. Any ideas? This happen to you?

Thanks for the tip on unlocking the missions, I'll do that shortly. But yeah, how does scoring work?

Crap, this was suposed to be in the Arma editing forum.

Hey guys, I've read through the help for a couple hours, can't seem to find an answer to my question. I have three empty SU-34s in my mission, and I want the mission to tell me and my troops to go to a new waypoint once they are destroyed, how is this accomplished. Please help, this is very frustrating. I was up until 5:30am working on this mission, trying to find a work around, but it's not the same. Thanks in advance.

I have a Pentium 4, 3Ghz, 2gig ram, radeon 1650 512mb video card, and I can play all on medium settings, except for terrain on low with smooth as silk FPS @ 1680x1050 resolution. I think Pentium 4s run this game better than Core Duos.

Hello! I own USA boxed version of ARMA, the Atari one. I can't find Queens Gambit in stores where I live. Will the downloadable Sprocket version work with my USA boxed version? Thanks! Please respond, I'm anxious to play!

Hey guys, I'm designing a mission right now that I want to be very immersive... that you actually feel a real battle is taking place. What's your opinion on high concentration of troop numbers in mission? Too clunky and clumsy, or more immersive? What's your oppinion on how to add immersion to the battlefield? Thanks for any replies, can't wait to hear your responses and thoughts!
