    Thanks Doc. Works best in IE. Now, shall I print it out?

    North Saharani Airports

    Answering my own question ... I can make a small mission using N Sahrani Airports, copy all the objects, load up a BAS f mission I'm currently using and paste all the objects into it. I'll credit in the final version, of course.

    Because I have done.

    North Saharani Airports

    Question. As this is not an addon in the simplest sense, can it cause conflicts with other stuff? Specifically, I'm using BAS f to make some missions and I'd like the airfield at Pita, too. But your addon takes the form of a mission.sqm, and so does BAS f. I'm wondering if one will overwrite the other when installing? If it does, can I open a mission using Northern Sahrani Airports, copy everything from the Pita Airfield, then copy it back into another mission created using BAS f. Thanks, Tanky -Paul-

    BAS f

    I like this. A lot. I'm lucky in that BAS f is aimed directly at me. I have some knowledge of the editor; I can use waypoints, triggers and logic and I'm making real progress using BAS f. It's like you've been looking over my shoulder and said "Let's make something for HIM!" One question - I took the plunge and installed at version 0-0-31. What am I likely to need to do as subsequent versions come out? Will any missions I'm working on now get broken by future versions? Cheers! Tanky -Paul-

    Helicopter CG

    That it's trivial is your opinion. Triviality is in the eye of the beholder. You're right of course. The question is "Why does the focus have to be the CoG?" I'm suppose it is easier for the pilot flying 3rd person perspective if less of the view is taken up with helicopter. That's a good answer. It's less use to those of us who use this view for movie making.

    Helicopter CG

    I don't *need* to use a scripted camera, nor am I using it for cutscenes. The camera focus being so high up on the aircraft makes no sense. Why would it be there when it wasn't before?

    Helicopter CG

    But why move the camera focus point to the rotor hub too? I had lots of fun making movies in OFP when the camera focus point was somewhere in the middle of the aircraft. Now, we can't get good shots of the crew, the windshield or the body of the aircraft. In fact, all we can get is good closeups of the rotor hub.

    Yes. Add more RAM. Double what you have, at least!

    New dedicated server

    I used to use Win2k and it was fine. I've since changed it to XPP and all still seems good. You need a lot of raw processor grunt and plenty of upload bandwidth helps (Mine is here at home with me)

    AAN - ArmA Navy

    Gnat old mucker... I wonder if you might be able to make a static, wrecked ship? It might be nice for storyline and visuals to have a shipwreck. Tanky

    New dedicated server

    You don't copy anything into the beta folder, the installer creates it all for you. In the beta directory is 2 executables. The second one, arma server is obviously the one you want. I then made a batch file called "start arma 1.07 beta+fix" on the desktop which had in it, <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">START "" /D"%CD%" /B "%CD%\beta\ArmA_Server.exe" -mod=beta -config=server.cfg That's with a standard, default install, so it should work for you unless you've done something funky. Note #1; The server config file will have to be created too, but that's all covered in the readme. Note #2; Unless I'm missing a trick, notepad won't save out batch files or .cfg files. It insists on having the .txt extension. But I'm sure you already knew that or know a workaround.

    Armed Assault videos

    This is because Fraps and Teamspeak each use a recording device in your PC. Teamspeak takes the record device, until you start recording in Fraps. Fraps takes over the recording device. Solution? Have two soundcards. I have an onboard one and a cheap Audigy. It's a bit of a juggling act because you can tell TS which device to use, but the interface in Fraps is a bit basic and so it's a bit hit and miss getting it to use the *other* one, but it can be done. If I can manage it, I'm sure you can Someone else might have more expertise on this than me, but using the above setup, my TS transmissions can't be heard in Fraps recordings, but everyone elses can.

    satchel radar

    Do you think that go in war, is happy think ? That you will niver get shot ? Of course you will get shot... Don't look at middle east war like Irak 1991, those have old tank & plane, & can not fight against new U.S tech, also they can not hide in the desert and arab are bad soldier... Same about the Afghanistan those Rebel are using AK47 against Special Forces using M82 (Thermal & Night scoped)... Sure if you were a soldier attacking a European country using russian new tech weapons, you will be probably be hit... If you are hided in a bush & if A.I hit you, believe that those A.I are using Thermal Scope / Goggle Much sense you not make.
  17. After my children in ArmA thread got Hoz'd , I asked him if we could have a wider ranging discussion on worldwide gaming rating systems. I couldn't find an existing thread without horrendous necroposting, so here goes. Lets leave the ArmA/children aspect where it is, I'd like to discuss the regional differences. I did discuss usermade content with PEGI, but we'll leave that to another thread. So, to get it's PEGI 18 rating, ArmA had to specifically exclude child and civilian female violence, but ESRB doesn't mention it.

    Online game rating systems around the world

    OK then. This website, PEGI online gives a lot of information. In particular, they are aware that usermade content can have an affect on the audience. I've not yet read it in detail, though I did notice they seem to be more concerned with persistant wold games and MMO games. I suppose that a war FPS with an ability (as designed by the developer) to support such a wide range of user made content is quite unusual in the genre. I have had a short email exchange with the chaps at PEGI so it seems they are interested in informing us, if not, yet, debating with us.

    Haven't the foggiest idea why you think linking him to a 143 page thread would be any real help.

    Both have merit. Why don't you fire up the usermade content + ratings systems in a separate thread?
  22. 2 further things (1.07 hotfix d/s and clients) This evac thing for the Apache. When I tried to "get in back", it bumped me off saying I couldn't crew it. Also, the Chinook is a horror to fly, just like the bad old days of flying helos in ArmA. It's very twitchy. (This was in Southern Star mission, if it helps)
