Thanks Gutm@sher, I think that was indeed the problem. I was loading it in single player. Will try that out tonight.

Thanks Oden. However, I am currently running the beta, but I still do not know how do get to that parameters page? I'm sure it's really simple and I'm just being dumb, but I guess I need it spelled out, among other things. Secondly, what is the difference between invasion and regular modes? When I load up both maps in sp, they seem the same, in that the ai starts with one base and starts expanding. I had assumed this was how invasion mode worked, but how do I get access to play the mode where you start as the defender of all towns instead of the enemy AI, and then the enemy AI is the one starting with the single base and more resources to attack you? I am playing in sp only for the moment. thanks!

Hello, I was wondering how to set the game options so that the gamespeed time runs at normal speed, not at 3 min = 15 seconds? Also, how do you get to that nice looking "parameters" menu on the screenshot that allows you set how many towns, etc? sorry if these are newb questions, but help a newb out! thanks!

Cannot delete missions in the "scenarios" menu
Moose-Factory posted a topic in ARMA 2 & OA - TROUBLESHOOTING
When I tried to delete an old version of a user made scenario and update it with the new version, I ran into the problem of not being able to delete the old version. I have deleted the pbo and anything with the name of the mission anywhere on my drive, such that any search term I type in vista returns no results, no lurking pbos, nor anything related to this mission. Yet whenever I open up the "scenarios" tab in the game, there the old version is, even tho I deleted all the files. I can even load and play the mission, how do I wipe the file off my drives and get it out of the scenarios folder?? Thanks for any help! -
'Cipher' - full dynamic [SP & MP/Coop] with unlimited replayability
Moose-Factory replied to wiper's topic in ARMA 2 & OA - USER MISSIONS
Hello there, I'm not sure if this is a game bug or map related, but: When I tried to delete an old version of this map (v1.26) and update it with the new version (v1.28), I cannot delete the old version. I have deleted the 1.26 pbo and anything with the word "Cipher" in the file anywhere on my drive, such that any search term I type in vista returns no results, no lurking pbos, nor anything related to this mission. Yet whenever I open up the "scenarios" tab in the game, there it is, "Cipher 1.26a", even tho I deleted all the files. I can even load and play the mission, how do I wipe that version off my drives? I'd love to play the new version of this mission. thank you. -
DOW @ start question
Moose-Factory replied to Moose-Factory's topic in ARMA 2 & OA - OFFICIAL MISSIONS
I would LOVE it if what you said works. However, whenever I go to comms, and select SEND UNITS as you suggest, no commander or options appear in the next menu to send them to. the menu is totally blank. how do you get this to work? badlands is unplayable (or rather impossibly frustrating) when the "send units" command is non functional. have you really gotten send units to work on badlands, or did you have it working on some other mission? -
So my TrackIR 5 was working fine, but now this afternoon when I want to play it is bugging out all over the place. Random stutters and view shifts all over the place in game, juttering in and out. The left green lcd keeps blinking on and off sporadically. The only thing I can think of that's different is that it is daytime now? my shades are drawn, and the lighting isn't overly bright. what's going on here?

After getting so frustrated not being able to reinforce my other squads in the Badlands mission, I decided to use the "endmission" cheat to continue on the dogs of war. However, when I start DOW, the NAPA faction who I was allied with in the previous Badlands mission now sees me and my squad as an enemy and kills us right away 2 seconds into the mission. what is going on? what do I do about this?
-
This doesn't work, as no options appear where the destination squads should be listed. I'm presuming this is a bug in the campaign? or is there some other way to do reinforce?

Can I assign soldiers to platoons...?
Moose-Factory replied to Drumheller's topic in ARMA 2 & OA - OFFICIAL MISSIONS
I'd love to find the answer to this question. Is reinforcing squads possible in arma 2? or is it a campaign bug? or what? -
I know the option "communication --> send unit (x, y, z)" exists. However, whenever I try using this command, no matter who is or isn't selected, they do nothing. I'm on badlands right now and would love to be able to reinforce my depleted squads. I heard in another thread that creating new squads was not possible. How about reinforcing existing ones? how? thanks.

How to merge two or more squads into one
Moose-Factory replied to madmax17's topic in ARMA 2 & OA - GENERAL
How do you tranfser units to other squads? I'm on badlands right now and would love to send some of my newly purchased units from my squad to my other depleted squads in the command menu, but can't. The option "Communication --> send units" is there. but when selected no options are present. is this implemented for the campaign? how do I do it? thanks! -
Basic Mission-time Group Organizing Tools
Moose-Factory replied to frederf's topic in ARMA 2 & OA - SUGGESTIONS
totally agree. I'm on badlands now and can't transfer any of my newly acquired units from my squad to my depleted squads in the command menu : / The "communication --> Send units" tab is there in the menu, but in the campaign no options apear when this is selected. was this feature implemented for the campaign? -
Wow I finally got to that first mission as well. Hadn't got to the base building yet but loved commanding the attack on the town, etc. just when I thought this game was finally coming into it's own I hear this. Can't create or reinforce squads other than your own? Have to manually order them to rearm through some obscure command? Forgive me but this really sounds half baked. I hope this gets fixed in the next patch.

how to order support helicopter around in mission?
Moose-Factory posted a topic in ARMA 2 & OA - OFFICIAL MISSIONS
Hello, I'm currently playing through Manhattan. Whenever I call in the support helicopter for pickup, I have myself and my guys board when it lands. The the copter just sits there. I can't order it or set waypoints for it. How do I tell the chopper where to go / set waypoints? I can't select the pilot in the radio menu, and the "LCTRL + SPACE" command menu doesn't bring the chopper up either. how do I tell it where to go? thank you.
