Hello. I’ve recently downloaded a copy of O2 and I’m having some main operation problems. 1when I try to make a shape the lines don’t lock they just disappear. How do I get them to stay? And how do I move the screen around so I can get a close up on the area I’m wanting to work on. I did download a manual for it but it’s proving less than helpful

I'm working on a mission and at the start of it I want my Group to start in a helicopter.

ok I take I'll find them here http://www.armaholic.com/list.php?c=Arma_files under tools

I’m looking for a tool that will allow me to create new units like animals and armoured vehicles. Can any one point me in the right direction

Yeah I've got it working now. cheers for that

are ok so I just type tat in to the initline of my playing unit

I’ve been trying to load an addon I downloaded and for some reason the game seems to be unable to detect the down load. I’ve been in the arma installation program on my computer and created a folder for the addon. So not sure what to do http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=1868 this the addon I downloaded

it's ok now I sorted it. I was entering the commands in the wrong place:)

I've been messing around with scripting and things like that and I'm haveing problem with animation commands. can you help :rolleyes:

yeah I know. but thanks for all your help though

downloaded the Ford interceptors and it's a great kit. I just have one question though. I'm in the prosses of creating a mission and I wonder if you can tell me how to set the police units to turn there lights on with me being in control of the units?

Possably but there all working now. I do have one more question I've just down loaded the Ford interceptors for a mission I'm gona have a bash. how do I get the police units to turn there lights on with out me being in command or is that for the description.ext file?

well I don't under stand this at all. I'm following your isntruction and my comp really isn't playing this game at all. Ok I'm gonna give this one last shot cos I really don't under stand my computer. wright I'm gonna do this step by step as to what I did cos I might have missed somthing 1st I found the Arma folder in my Program files and created a folder named @31stMEU, then I created the addons folder. 2nd I opened the addon and extracted the 2 Pbo files from the main skins file and placed them in the addons folder making sure they weren't in a folder. 3rd I then Extracted the woodlands small file from the addon folder and placed that in the addons folder 4th I then entered the -mod=@31stMEU to the target line in the short cut properties and then finally I added the @31stMEU in the launcher and started the game and apart from the nosplash comand working nothing happens. so I don't know if I've missed somthing you'll have to tell me ---------- Post added at 03:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:50 PM ---------- ok you can ignor me now cos I've got it working. no idea what I did though. thanks for all your help

the target line works but it's still not having any addons. I must be missing somthing some whare ---------- Post added at 12:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 AM ---------- well now things are even stranger and I'm truly confused I've down loaded this Launcher http://www.kegetys.net/arma/img/launcher.png and folowed these instructions http://www.armaholic.com/plug.php?e=faq&q=18 the MODfolder and Launcher part and the Mod file just deosn't seem to exsist in the options now there is definatly somthing not wright with this ---------- Post added at 12:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 PM ---------- you don't think I need a patch do you?

wright it seem to accept the bottom target line. so now I need to place an addon

no it's still not having any of it. maybe it's my computer or my copy of the game cos it was second hand. Oh thanks for your help

Ok now somthing wiered is really going on I'm trying to add -mod=@31MEU to the target line and it's not having any of it all it says is the The name "C:\ProgramFiles\BohemiaInteractive\ArmA\arma.exe"-mod=@31MEU' in the Target box is not valid. I guess thats a big problem

Oh wright well that would exsplane why it doesn't work then. how do I check the addon before down loading it to make sure it'll work I folowed some instructions that said I was create a folder in the Arma folder thats on my hard drive so that it looked somthing like this \ArmA\@myaddons\addons\xxx.pbo the 3x's are to indicate that I copyed all the pbo files from the orignal file is that the wright way to do it or is there another way?

Oh wright so I create that folder then I put a folder named addons in side that and then do I put in another folder called myaddons ?

hello. I'm creating a mission of my own and I've been having truble loading a Briefing. I've used a simple briefing format and saved it as a HTML file and every time I load my mission the briefing isn't displaid in the mission play. I've saved the briefing file in the mission folder

Ok I've downloaded that. so what do I do. do I copy the briefing in to the arma editer and then save it to the mission file or is it gona be complex?:p

need help with adding addons to the game I downloaded an addon called slx-people and I'm having truble adding to the game play. I placed it in to my addons folder but my computer says I need to burn it to the disk and the disk is non-writable. Is there another way of adding downloads to the ARMA editor?

Windows XP but it keeps doing wiered things

no I can't find one there either. I have got an addons folder in there though. would it be posible to put downloads in to that folder for them to work on the game or do they have to be run from the disk

ok I tryed what you surgested and I somthing very wiered is going on because I can't find the install folder on the disk or in the folders the game installed on in my mydocuments. the folders on the dick are: Arma Data DirectX I've search all 3 of them and theres no sign of it?
