As say in private post: YEAH! Go ahead mate! :) you've full rights to make the best power grid ever seen on ArmA2 world :) Thanks

True But if you overfly the city the civs spawns. If many teams are wandering around the city the civ spawns a lot and stay alive, in any case. You can create a custom object that allows the civilian spawn and place several of those in the city with the editor, then check by yourself :)

If i collect a number of requests i can take the map out of the box again. Actually i don't have so much time for working on and no issues to fix (as far as i know) or improvements requested. Some things could include naming several objects like road barriers to allow interactions with script and something like, but nothing that could effectively justify a 100mb release :)

number of civilian spawn points is very limited in Fallujah due the size of the city. Having a spawn ratio like chernarus will create massive locks on your server due the huge amount of wandering citizens on the map.

And to the best sponsor in the ArmA2 world, Mr. B ;)

Yep, when i've some time i'll probably release an update to fix this on Spritz Island. In the meanwhile i'm searching for some time to dedicate to CWR2. Best

No ideas about... the hotel building is in the same pbo of other houses from A1.

Did you have a screenshot of what you mean for looks terrible? Ok for coordinates, i'll give an eye if you send them to me.

Bella :)

bisign is 1.1

digits are a "big" headache :) everyone needs them made in a different way for specific addons. I've tried to understand what is the most common request, but if i've failed something i can update it.

Great release! Nice work Solo & Socrate!

this happens when you click on Get Script for V3? probably the script extension is mapped with Visitor 3 and the application tries to open the V3.exe...

it's strange... i'll check for this issue and i'll add the script here.

Friends, this was Bushlurker in "I HAVE A DREAM" mode. It's a pleasure to work with him... a lot of work raises everyday. Is this the reason for waiting his fantastic Scotland territory for ages? :) C'mon Bushlurker, let us have your fantastic work on our desktops :D
