  1. Check this thread out ... there are some methods to get the data you need.. Also a link by me to another forum where it explains how to use microdem and google overlay http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=69402 hope it helps PS..If it is your first one, mapping is a really hard job and the sources are really scattered. Do not get fixated on getting the most detailed sat image. Start with something small and available in google earth. There are so many thing you need to learn until you strive for detailed sat map. Make sure you check the Visitor Forums in ARMA1 section.
  2. Follow my sig to http://cfarma2.com/forums/ for weekly large Army vs Army battles. :cool:

    Help getting ArmA: Gold running

    did you try limiting your RAM solution or running 1.16BetaPatch that I recommended on Kellys? I've run and still running Arma1 on XP Pro x64 with no problem whatsoever.

    Can you enforce mods on a server?

    You cannot force players to download a mod while joining. However you can ensure they have the mod before joining by setting some rules in your server config. It is a long topic and every solution has a limitation or a drawback you must be aware of. You can force them to have the mod but you cannot push-load the mod when they join. It is up to them to download and use the mod or not. The easiest 2 methods, if you want to force a mod on every player, are 1-Yoma -> get yoma addon snyc 2009 and set it up so that others can synchronize with your server before joining http://dev-heaven.net/projects/list_files/yoma-addonsync2009 2-signature verification. Read the community wiki on the usage. 3-make the your pbo required by adding it to every mission on your server. Into the mission.sqm files.

    Did Anyone Buy Arma 2 From Nexway?

    Installation limitation is for different PCs. There is NO limit for installing the game on the same PC. You only need to contact them if you need to install the game for more than 3 times. What I do -> After buying the DL version, I buy the DVD version after it gets much much cheaper, for like 5-10 USD

    Arma 2 server crashes

    You need to start ArmA2server as service. Use FireDaemon ... it automatically restarts the crashed program. It also has a web interface so that you can control it without the need for RDP.

    FP : DR - News & Discussion

    Some discussion about OFP2 AI. I hope it grows into a more rounded and detailed topic. http://community.codemasters.com/forum/showthread.php?t=366762
  10. At the moment the beta_server exe is not reliable to handle anything above 80 for PvP 55-60 for Coop The desync/freeze caused by the JIP may become unbearable. It is like the EXE forgets about all the players playing the game and tries to update the JIP player resulting in huge lag spikes for the in-game players. BIS really has to test his netcode for JIP lag in 50+ players conditions and need to contact other servers who run 60-70+ players for stability check. I hope BIS contacts more with respectable community servers more to develop/test dedicated server EXEs. I am sure most will be more than willing to cooperate on such an issue.
  11. Did you try many times and is it doing the same all the time? Sometimes it does that and when you press escape and try again, you can get in fine.

    CPU Vs GPU

    I can say CPU. I have 25-35 frames @ 1680x1050 3D resolution at 100% sometimes even up to 125% Settings; All @high Anti-aliasing @disabled Some @very high Post processing @low i7-950 @ standard (3.2 ghz on turbo mode) Win7 8800GTS 512k G92 My point -> have a good & fast quadcore/i7 and you don't need to go & spend so much $s for the best Gfx card out there. Have a capable Gfx card and spend the rest on getting a faster CPU or maybe on overclocking equipment like bigger heatsinks/fans etc. Suggestion-> Upgrade your CPU to a faster clock quadcore and use your 7800GTX-sli setup and see how that helps. You can always upgrade Gfx card at a later point. You don't need 150 fps to play Arma2 properly. Anything constantly over 25 should be OK. You may want to wait a little longer before you upgrade, to see the new i5 CPUs intel is going to release. They are to replace Intel Quad-Cores. FYI.
  13. Seth, Custom file size is defined in arma2.cfg. Make sure you copy the arma2.cfg into the same folder where your server.cfg is. It should work like that.
  14. You can define parameters in your mission like weather8time of the day etc. its up to you. Whatever you use parameters for, you can set them here if need be during misison auto-load. ---------- Post added at 01:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:50 PM ---------- Make sure you have the following line in your server.cfg reportingIP="arma2pc.master.gamespy.com";

    kellys heroes server...

    I believe he contacted us on our forums and had his problem solved. We try to give new players a chance....yet we do not hesitate to perm-ban should anyone continues actions against gameplay and enjoyment of other public players. rgs
  18. 168.18 meant to be 186.18 I guess
  19. -cpucount= defines how many cores arma client or server uses. By default it uses all cores. This parameter helps to limit the number of cores arma uses. It exists because arma executable allocates working threads to cpus at the start. Therefore, you need to allocate CPUs before you run the executable. So if you are going to limit arma to say 2-cores out of 4-cores, do it by using this command or by setting affinity in the start-up. Try to avoid changing affinity thru task manager after firing up the exe. By default you do not need to change affinity or use this command. No extra benefits.
  20. One small addition... There is no add-on required for the Tournament or the Scrimm. You can come and play with vanilla(standard) ArmA2.

    Kelly's Heroes [KH]

    Our server has the "Signature check" turned on at this moment. Visit http://www.kellys-heroes.eu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=2616 to see which addons are allowed. For "noblur", you'll need to download KH signatures as Kegety's did not sign them himself. You can find them on the same page I've linked.
  22. There is no point of doing this if you are in the middle of a crop field. Moving very slowly does not help in open terrain fight. You need to move from cover to cover. Keep you momentum high when in/crossing open field. Leap-frogging is the keyword. Move to cover, scan if safe, move to cover and if your cover is not good/powerful enough, do not stay there for too long ;) ..
  23. If you are serious, you should go and buy a 2-CPU slot server and pay for co-location only...so that you can insert your 2nd Xeon Quad-Core CPU when needed for efficiency in running simultaneous applications. ;)
  24. The Arma Profile in my file was for Arma1... Mke sure you copy the Arma2 profile there first...ie do not use the profile file I've given to you. Replace the server profile file in the pack with your client ArmA2 profile file but rename it to "MyServer.Arma2Profile" sorry :(
  25. IIRC it was not a choice...they were forced to do it like that to force you to slow down...game-design-restriction. Well you know when you'll pass out so you only need to stop and wait to catch your breath or not to sprint = cant keep up ;) Games are as realistic as you want them to be...
