I appreciate your help in making this program better.

First thing I thought of when I saw this was: "One day it started raining, and it didn't quit for four months. We been through every kind of rain there is. Little bitty stingin' rain... and big ol' fat rain. Rain that flew in sideways. And sometimes rain even seemed to come straight up from underneath." -Forrest Gump

For those of you that are requesting features and reporting bugs, I have created a new tracker that is a part of my own website, so I have a little more control over it, rather than using a third-party site. From now on, please use the issue tracker here: SM ArmA 2 Launcher Project Tracker Thanks to all for the comments and the feature requests.

That's not a limitation of his program, but a hard-coded limitation of ArmA. http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma2:_Startup_Parameters#Performance

Thank you for the comments. I have a new project tracker, where I can keep track of feature requests and bug reports. So if you have any suggestions or bugs to report, please use it here. Thanks!

Glad I'm not the only one experiencing this.

EDIT: To download the latest version, go to the first post. Update: v1.0.1 Download Changed: Window size and position is saved. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I've been unable to recreate this error, with up to 50 different group folders, but I'll keep working on it. Thanks for letting me know.

How many games that are released also contain the entire content of their preceding games in the series? I don't understand why anyone thinks BI should have done this...

EDIT: To download the latest version, go to the first post. Update: v1.0.0 Download Here is version 1.0 of my launcher. Nothing much added except an Operation Manual to hopefully answer any basic questions you might have as far as features go. You can download it here separately, but it is also included in this latest installer. Just hit the help button and the PDF will load. Not much change from the last release, but I feel like its in a good place to call it version 1. Added Features: Resizable Window User's Manual Thanks for all the feedback that's made it what it is today. I truly appreciate it. Oh, and Happy New Year to you all. :)

I've never had that happen to me, but I've never tested it for any sort of limit, and I don't normally use that many groups. I'll test it out before the next release.

I hope you feel the same way after using it. :) Thanks for the feedback. I'm more than happy to provide what I hope is a useful tool to the community.

I'll have it show a kinder error message, but that does deserve some sort of error. You can't expect it to do something with a file that doesn't exist.

Strange. I've been trying and I can't get it over 12.5 no matter how many times I change settings or start the game.

It says that the program does not have access to your X drive. I'm not sure there's anything I can do about that. I'm not sure how Ramdisks work, if there are any differences that would cause this problem. I can investigate, but my gut feeling is I won't be able to fix it on my end. Also, I will look into making the app resizable. Several people have mentioned that. It should be added for version 1.0

EDIT: To download the latest version, go to the first post. Update: v0.9.7 Download Changes/Fixes: Fix: Fixed problems caused by having no groups in the addon tree. Change: At least one group is required in the addon tree. Fix: Fixed problem that occurred when clicking in the blank area of the addon list if the list did not fill the entire box. Addition: Added a start delay option in the "Launch Options" tab.

Thanks for letting me know. I'll look into those later today.

Thanks for the comments. I'm glad it works well for you.

EDIT: To download the latest version, go to the first post. Update: v0.9.6 Download Changes Added the ability to create a shortcut, using your settings from the launcher, so you don't need to start the launcher unless you want to make changes to a profile. (Does not include third-party applications such as Ventrilo, only mods and game settings) Added the ability to run Fraps on startup. Moved the "Check for Updates" button to a more visible location.

I don't understand the desire to have the config file to be in a particular location. There is no need to manually edit it. Why does it matter where it is? The application data directories are there for that reason, so other more visible locations don't get cluttered with tons of files that were not meant to be directly edited. I think the way you have it now makes sense...

This can happen when you have a ; at the end of your mod list. -mod=beta;@CBA;@ACE; should be: -mod=beta;@CBA;@ACE

EDIT: To download the latest version, go to the first post. Update: v0.9.5 Download Added Features and Bugfixes: Fixed: Problems using the server browser. It was a UAC problem with Win7 and Vista. Added: Select your player profile. Added: Scrollable parameter box. Easier to read all the mods/options you have in the command line. Rearranged the UI to make it a little more user-friendly.

Is it possible to change the appearance of a unit in-game? I'd like to be able to change from sniper to team leader to rifleman, etc, somehow. I can't find a command that would allow me to do so, but I might not be looking hard enough.

Works great, thanks.

Using the "-name=" startup parameter, I can't get it to work with any profiles with spaces in the name. I noticed that the profiles with spaces and special characters are url-encoded, so I tried using that encoding, but it just created a new profile with the encoding in the name. I tried it these three ways: -name=My Profile -name=My%20Profile -name="My Profile" None of these work, and I can't think of any other logical way. Is it possible? Thanks.

Strange. So should each startup parameter technically have quotes around it? All others work fine without.
