So I've been producing an ARMA 2 machinima film for quite some time, and as such I need to be able to use camera's in the editor. I have the camera.sqs script working fine, but when I position a camera, copy the location, and paste into a notepad file and save it as a .sqs script file, when I try to initialize it in the editor it always tells me the script is not found. Here is everything I have tried: 1. I have triple checked the spellings, and all the script in the notepad file to check for mistakes. 2. I have saved to to Documents -> ARMA 2 -> scripts as well as Documents -> ARMA 2 -> Missions -> The Editor mission I am using, AS WELL AS Documents - ARMA 2 -> User saved -> misions -> The Mission I am using 3. I have tried creating "scripts" folders within ARMA 2 -> Missions -> The Mission I am using in addition to the above step, as I have tried this with every other folder. I don't get it, camera.sqs is found perfectly fine, but when I actually place a camera and try to make it into a script, it all of a sudden can't find it.

2. this exec "camera.sqs"; is how I am initializing. 3. and yes I am positive it is located in those two files.

I have the Steam Version of Arma 2. It updated to 1.07 (via redownloading the game). When I enter multiplayer it tells me I can get version 1.07 from Arma2.com or something like that. I am immediately kicked from any server I try to join. What's funny is on the menu screen it says version 1.07.71570 or w/e those last digits are. Any suggestions?

Whenever I try to join a Capture the Island ACE server it says I am missing the file oh2.wheeled. I googled the file and found it listed as a bug on some ACE related website but there was no fix posted. Is there somewhere I can download this file?

Chill out, I apologize. I have been trying to fix the problem on my own for like the last three-four hours, I rarely resort to forums for help, only when all other options have been exhausted, and frankly I was too tired to search the forums. I used the solution in the thread below, but then I got a message that my version of ACE was not the latest version when I joined the server. Are the downloads on Armaholic the latest versions? Should I just get six updater suite and check for updates?

Not bad bro, not bad.

Where did you hear of Ardistan and Karzeghistan?

It's nothing on the level of what some of those other guys in the ARMA community have made such as richiespeed, vagabond, or d3boy, but I got bored and made this film. Its about a US pilot that has to survive.

Now maybe I don't know jack about realistic ricochet effects, but am I the only one who noticed that if I am in the machine gun on a humvee and I fire it at the grassy ground at night in some random patch of wilderness EVERY tracer round ricochets into the air? Is this realistic? I mean EVERY round is bouncing off the ground and flying straight up into the sky. I mean, its so big of a ricochet that I can probably use it to aim at helicopters if I really tried.

Any fixes? When I try to patch it manually (seems thats the only way), it tells me "Wrong CD Key."

Yes, the steam version.

What is the name of the addon that adds the Taliban looking fighters as a faction? The ones that wear rags... :D Also. I downloaded FFAA terrorists and added them, but is there a way to create custom groups? They don't have an option to be placed in group so I have to place them each individually, which can get really annoying. Sorry. I've made three threads today on these forums but I'm a noob to all this added content that I"ve downloaded so I need the help.

I downloaded this Yoma thing which then in turn downloaded all the CAA1 stuff and placed it in my main arma folder. The main reason I did this was so I could use the two Avgani maps. However, they still crash when trying to load them. I noticed the file in my arma directory is called x, which is then broken down into CAA1 and something else, which is then broken down into other folders, which is then broken down into addons folders, which contains the PBO and BISIGN files. Do I need to place all these PBO/BISIGN files into a modfolder and launch CAA1 that way?

Saw a youtube video and the guy said he was using a Dynamic Combat Module to create the war around him. I figured I could have some fun with that and just run around trying to find enemies. Is this module already in the game or do I have to find it on armaholic or something?

Thank you for the timely reply!

I manually patched to 1.05 because I couldn't wait to play the mini campaign (Glad I did too :D)... however how do future Steam updates work? It said to leave Automatic Updater disabled so does that mean I will have to manually update the game every new patch? I don't really mind doing that but my friend said that future patches may not be co-compatible with retail/steam versions.

The boat went away from the docks a little bit, and then the credits rolled after you hear the Russian Leader go out guns blazing in death. :(. After the credits a map of Utes thats similar in color to the World Map appeared. Then it ended for good. So I assumed they found the shelter.

WARNING SPOILERS**** So I made it to the part where you meet the Russian Spetsnaz commander and his crew, and he takes you in. Whats odd, is the first command I got was to mount a MG nest that was at the barricade on the road. We made our way killing to the V35 or VS35 or whatever that truck is. He told everyone except me to board it. I still have the mount MG order. I ran to the MG and got in it and radioed ready so that he could give me a new order, it was to get back in formation so I got out of the MG nest but as soon as I did that he gave me an order to get back in. Thats the only order I get. So I ran back to the truck and they were driving off, but I never got an option to get int eh truck at all, just a gear option. They were driving off and I was following, but hten I get a, "I don't think I should go this way" dialogue and I go into camera mode and the campaign mission is stuck in that camera mode. Any tips on what I'm doing wrong? I love this campaign so far and I want to finish it.

Sure does, thanks.

I'm confused. In the beginning of the Harvest Red campaign they talk about Chernarus being home to 3 million Chernarussians and 800,000 Russian settlers. However this sounds like way to many people for the size of the towns/cities that we fight over. Then I played the EW campaign and saw the map of the entire country and a star next to a city. I thought Chernagorsk was the capital? Or is it simply the capital of the South Zagoria region much like Denver is the capital of the State of Colorado or etc? Is that other city (can't remember name) the actual capital of the entire country and are the cities west of the playable map possibly bigger than the ones we know? Hehe I'm trying to imagine squashing 3,800,000 people into these tiny towns :D.

The leader of the Spetsnaz had to stay behind for my campaign. Made me sad.... I liked him. I wanted Mikhail to stay behind :(.

Did that, it worked. Beat the mission. I'm surprised the nukes started flying.

Would it be possible to have snow in the game? This can be a starting condition. I would love to fight in a snow filled landscape. Though I can see technical difficulties with it, and texture problems as far as uniforms, I still think it'd be fun. Possible/not possible?

Wow forgot I made this thread. Came back and there are some really interesting posts.... Cool! Whats this business about a fog script and snow script? Sounds awesome. Foggy warfare... :D

Answered my question perfectly. Thanks.
