I thought a server , had input from many user , which to me means threads or input from a external core plus the number of users , to me this is multithreading but looking from outside of the box . Also this is not a one way thing as the server has to also send instruction and receive them also from many users , if looked at as the whole system being many thread/cores talking to the main thread/core , there is multithreading for AI . Pr sniper had a point about splitting the map into 4 , but as most people only have four core cpus i would say splitting the map into two , where one core does most of the which for its section , while you still maintain the main thread on its own core , that is the thread which does all the main calculations in regards to position , state and all other things that are calculated by that thread ..... A example would be , can you play two of the same games on the same pc but on different screens ? yes you can with virtual box or what ever its called , so i could have input to the same two games at the same time , how could i play half of each game ?.. Multithreading is not impossible , but may be harder than the normal way programmers have learnt to program , but i have been told it is difficult ....

I have been reading this post , in the past i have had some problems with my computer , once i found i could run some programs very well and others not to well , it came to a point where i was about to upgrade but first i decided to check all connections in my computer , i found that my heatsink and fan was not connection properly , just one clip from one side of my heatsink was creating the problems .... what i found that help most for arma was ( page filing ) only being set to my fastest harddrive , which wasn't the hard drive my OS and game was running from , now i also use ram disk just for the page file , as you said in your other posts that other games run fine , i think your page is set to the drive arma is running from with only so much memory left on that drive , i believe it would create problems also having the page file coming from the same drive with so little memory left on that drive ....

I made a mission and decided to edit it with some artillery , when i addd the artillery and started the mission i got a mission saying debug initialized , Ok that was fine i decided to delate the artillery but still got the same message ,now all my missions have this message for some strange reason, anyway i thought i would make a new mission to see what happened , so i started with the artillery and a few friendly units , so far so good as i tested, then i added the enemy units a tank with some way points and tested the mission , , i got the same stupid message again debug initializing , debug initialized , i wanted to know what is wrong , i am starting to get the feeling i need to reinstall this game , i use ace mod , cba , and celle island plus mando missile. i need help as i have no clue why this is happening .... ---------- Post added at 03:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 PM ---------- how can i turn it off ?

i wanted to know , when making a mission i use arma edit to add weapons etc to the the gear of my units , i can add binoculars to units at load up screen , the problem is i can not get binoculars in any weapons crates .. how can i solve this problem .. plus is arma2 edit the same as arma tools , as i have yet used arma2 edit ... its all confusing but getting my head around things .. thanks for your help ...

was wondering if someone could make a small island which is just one big city ? doesn't have to be that big a island , 2 miles sq will do ...... and not forgetting a small base at one end of it ,,,enough for some tanks to to fit inside the base .. thanks

I am wishing to know a script for lifting vehicles , as i know this can be done , pleaSE CAN SOMEBODY HELP .... ? ---------- Post added at 03:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:54 PM ---------- Just wannted to say after much searching the internet i found what i was looking for ..http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=9060

i wanted to know if anybody can help , i am the high commander in a mission i made to play with some friends later on tonight , but when i die i can't use the high command system anymore ,, i am no expert and just leaning like many others , is there a way to still command units or whole army with high command after i die then respawn into another unit ? this is really stopping my creative fun

what happens when my commander dies , and i am unable to command the whole army in a user made missions ? how can i vote or make another unit the commander of the army ? i am making missions just to play with friends ....

http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=6649 , this what i use for addons etc ..

when a company makes more money , it is able to expand , thus more departments and more products ...

I wish to add another island , i have read a lot about making a addon folder but wanted to be totally sure i am doing it right , a short explanation would be great , not only for me but also for anybody else who isn't sure about the process..... http://www.armaholic.com/list.php?c=Arma2_files for anybody needing missons , mods addons etc

maybe somebody should make panthera 2 without these yellow hog trees , just for you... i am going to try island " Quesh-kibrul" today, it is only 32 mb ... http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=8698

just to add , i play arma2 on pc but arma2 could run on a xbox , with a island like everon or utas and maybe even duala , you couldn't run really big missons on a xbox 360 , but i believe arma2 could run on a xbox360 with only 100 Ai max , on my pc i could have Ai planes tanks etc coming out of my ears , or atleast battles that last for 3 hours with waves of Ai coming in coming in coming in non stop .lol but if a xbox 360 had a little more ram it may be a different story , well because the xbox only has to run games and if a pc never had to load windows etc etc we would see amazing results from arma2

i have a problem with everon , when i look at the ground bright and i turn to look at a hill goes very dark . if i am flying its fine ... i am wondering what makes this happen , i got told it was hr problems and to edit the cfg file and change hr from 8 to 32 . well i think this is one of the biggest problem for me at the moment , ground is bright and if the were a army running down the hill as i looked up , it would be game over ..

so far we found everon was the best with low end pcs , well my friend thinks this is the case , still it would be nice for somebody to make a really nice island for very low end pcs ,. well i mean maybe only four different types of trees , and flat ground as grass and also only a few different building types , . if this was the case a lot more ppl would be able to run the game at a fair speed ... maybe i should of named this tread , all arma2 noobies like me can find useful information to make your experience better :-)

i added duala island and made my first misson , i spent some time on this misson , i even lost sleep over it , lol .. now to add the ace mod and some other mods and hopefuly get my friends from xbox to do the same ... what i now what to know is what is the smallest island ? as my friends computer isn't that good but can run the game , i think he will have a better experience with a smaller island ..

The mod launcher help me loads , thanks a lot :)

thanks for the help , i will try this tomorrow as i need to now buy a new power supply , the one i have is only 350w and my computer keeps acting really strange ..

i just brought arma2 for my pc , after waiting for a xbox version thats hasn't come yet .. my problem is , when i look at the ground the brightness is fine , but when i move to look at another object the screen goes very dark , or if i look at the ground bright then move to look at hills goes very dark .... does anybody know why this happens ??

I agree , to have a better computer would not be a fair match in any game , lets play chess , so simple but yet it all depends on your next move ....

operation arrowhead * 2 new locales, a 160 square-km region called Takistan based on Central Asian terrain. Zargabad, a 70 square-km island with dense urban areas. * Return of various player roles. Players can, as they had in Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis, play as various characters, from a basic infantryman to a pilot or tank crewman. * New factions such as guerrillas, the United Nations, local military, etc. * New aircraft such as the AH-64 Apache, MH-6, and UH-1H. * New vehicles such as the Stryker, M3 Bradley, T-55, M-113, BTR-60, and more. * New weapons such as the FN SCAR. * Improvements to the warfare mode and the game engine. * Forward looking infrared (FLIR)" operation flashpoint elite The island itself was the entire scope of the game's battlefields, and despite the fact that it was more than 200 square kilometers in size speak for yourself , because thats what everybody does here , lets all think about the way we would each like to do things and hope everybody else joins in or follows suit .. good luck to everybody that has enough time on there hands to be a pc .. btw nobody has said once, the console version could be as great as the pc version , just to remind you a console is for game playing only ..... i want to play a game have fun and have a good experience , with friends . then my friend comes round and we play football together , he always wins .. i was glued to my pc for about two years playing a few games , then i noticed my forehead was always very oily after playing and i was getting pains in my neck , i decided to have a very long break from pcs , like a break that last forever ..lol

good point , i just want to say , if arma2 in any form is announced for the 360, will you please support the company that makes the game ... Just to add, if bohemia made a game for the console then ported it to pc , well i read a post that said bohemia makes the product but we make the game , can't remember word for word , so as you can make mods etc you should worry to much with what type of game bohemia makes , as long as it runs smooth and functions well, smile and be happy , your mod makers will save you ..lol . I remember when i was younger and wanted a commodore 64 but got a vic 20 for chirstmas , i nearly cried , but i could still play most games being made at that point in time , same arguement different era ... pc v 360 , not everybody can afford a pc , also not all ppl can keep their pcs runing the way they wish it to , btw windows is microsoft so is the xbox 360 . .

If there is nothing else to discuss , why did you come to this thread and say something , you don't make much sense ...

I like consoles only because its out of the box games , no patch upgrade of software etc , You are right bohemia got help with operation flashpoint , and i believe every fraction of thought has go into working out a way to make the game run on a console smoothly , ppl who play console games are happy with the games , doesn't have to be movie looking , i get the feeling again we have game blockers , if i was talking about a woman i would say c..k blockers . lol ,. I use to play games on the pc until i started to play consoles more often , there were the same types of games on the console as the pc , just have to find the game i like , now i am comfortable with console control pad , it was hard to use at first , but anything a person does for the first time is a new experience .... Since i have stopped using my pc for games , i have never had to reinstall windows , i can't remember any spyware on my computer , it runs for what i want it for , to study and run the relevent programes relating to my studies .. But you never know , one day i may see if arma2 gives me a good experience on my pc , but i will more than likely wait to see if operation arrowhead comes to the console , if not i wil buy this for pc and join the fun.. :) ......

if they landed on the moon or not , nearly everybody believed it , so as far as we know its a fact ,and their lie(if you wish to call it that) which became fact was part of the process of the moon landing . what is better if two ppl enjoy the same experence on different levels ? if they landed on the moon or not , nearly everybody believed it , so as far as we know its a fact ,and their lie(if you wish to call it that) which became fact was part of the process of the moon landing . so what you are saying power= better ? , what is better if two ppl enjoy the same experence on different levels ? or you should ask me why do ppl walk to the shops when they have a car .
