    Faces / Uniforms

    You know if the Team would allow it, a 3d model of (your) person from Arma would be cool. Testing your texture out and see if its working. All they would have to do is export it as a .obj or md3? file. Then look at it in the many free 3d viewers. Just an idea.

    Faces / Uniforms

    WOOOO HOOOOOOO! Being a 3d modeler I will give you guys some advice For you that may not know anything about texturing. The best thing to do is take pics outside on a cloudy day (this will give you the best textures/pics because there will be no shadows). Also dont use MS paint to do your textures, try Photoshop or the free program Gimp. Take your time, and keep all the different pieces in layers i.e. arm, face, legs, eyes. At the end you can save it as a flattened image (ArmA_face.jpg). If your using photoshop you should two files: 1 .PSD file (with all your layers) 2. ArmA_face.jpg (you do a "save as" in photoshop) By doing this you can always go back and change something. Say your face is not lining up. Go back into the PSD file and change it, then save out ArmA_face.jpg again. I would say if placebo could give us a wire frame that would help allot, or at least a boundary. But maybe they dont want to show the wire frame. Maybe I will try to set something up for you guys.

    Great JIP mission ideas

    LOL I for one would love to see a mission's time speed up to say 15 min equals 1 game hour, so we could have some great night/day fights.

    Can ai strafe or move backward ?

    I agree, walking sideways is do able, but running? The AI after all is just AI, maybe it cant be programed into the game to do that? If you look at how the AI works in OFP and VBS2, a bunch of "way point" are set, then the AI moves there. I couldn't see them acting any other way, how can the AI know if it should turn and run or strafe, with out impacting the code (speed) in the game?

    Lakes in ArmA

    Well we could already do that in OFP? -.-' Did it act like water? Could boats float?

    Lakes in ArmA

    Lakes could add alot, maybe a Dam, or waterfall could be modeled. I could see this being uses as a river (not a fast moving river).

    Mods will always ALWAYS improve on the creators (BI). "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a mod team to fish and you feed him for a lifetime"

    probably not, most likely a week or 2 AFTER gold we'll see a demo We've been promised a multiplayer demo before release, and reassured multiple times that this is still the plan. I dont think we were promised? Wasn't it more of a "were trying to get it out before the game comes out". Cause if they promised then we could have a count-down right?

    The Soldier

    Here is the down side to this all. I wanna dress in sniper gear and drive a tank. Or I wanna dress as a captain but I'm some newbie. I personally believe ArmA should not allow you to change anything but your face and maybe sunglasses.

    The Soldier

    I think you missed the thread four spaces down titled "Faces / Uniforms". But while customizing sounds great shouldn't it be up to your class? I don't see alot of customizing in the military other than shades(OFP does) skin/face(OFP does). But as far as that what do you really want? Does alot of customizing go on in military?

    SINGLE PLAYER OR MULTI ?

    Well with OFP I really only play Single player, But in ArmA the introduction of JIP will change that for me. I still love single player make your own adventures.

    Textures and Models need major overhaul !!!

    So this is not a joke! The only reason I still play BF2 is its quick and easy. But even that I play PRMM. You know, that 30 mins after work.

    Faces / Uniforms

    The word is yes on faces, not sure on uniforms. If I'm wrong someone will point it out.

    Textures and Models need major overhaul !!!

    I'm confused, this is a major joke right? And if it is can we create a joke thread? Also "If this game can't compete visually with Battlefield 2 or Enemy Territory: Quake Wars" ArmA isn't competing with these games, totally different genera. and if you dont know this then your really not a die hard OFP fan. ArmA is not fighting on a 1k by 1k map!

    Navigation Map Ideas

    So we all know that the special edition comes with a map. From what we can see in some PR releases the map looks very nice (PR pics for the special edition have a map in the back ground, "Huge A1 map of Sahrani") But we don't know if thats the real map. But that leads to a question or a project. Having the map view in game is great. It updates, tell you where you are, all the good things. But wouldn't it be cool if we were able to get a nice color map (Special Edition one) along with a tactical map as well? Now I not asking or demanding a tactical map from BI or its pubs, but more of a cool project to do (Of course if you could print out your missions map with all the tactical data would be cool). This group or person could line up the grids and print out a cool map. Anyways its just a cool idea, and I'm wondering what your thought were about it, how could we go about this, and if we really want one?

    GRAW2

    I think OFP:Elite was a test to see if it could sell, from what I remember it didnt sell the best. One major plus a PC has over a console is the mod's. Mod's keep OFP still going today. Without mods, could Vanilla OFP have lasted as long? Bottom line is this has been talk about over and over and you'll never find the answer your looking for.

    Navigation Map Ideas

    REALLY??? wow things you learn Here is the code to do it: topography - (From OFP: Resistance version 1.75 and above, you must play with a TERRAIN DETAIL setting of VERY LOW for this to work). This isn't a cheat but you might appreciate the results. Type during gameplay or while in the mission editor. This will create a file in your hard drive's root directory, named island_name.emf, containing a vector representation of the map of the island on which you are currently playing or editing. Note: these files are very large. lets see if they include this in ArmA

    Navigation Map Ideas

    I dont really see this tread as a "BI should". They can only go so far. What would a good map have in it? What would be a great way to display this? say book form or wall poster?

    Navigation Map Ideas

    YES we are a different breed, us OFP/ArmA players. Yeah the idea of taking screen shots could work and it would be alot of work LOL. But something like that would be cool! or even a flip book, kinda like the ones here in the states for driving around a state: Roads, hills, towns, ect. Maybe a script could be put together to automate it, The island seems quite big now! Maybe this is something a third party can make, and sell if they wish. Plus I didn't realize there was PDF's on the original disks. Guess I never really look at the disks, Install and GO. Does anyone know if this ever happen in OFP, or even a hit at it?
