ChrisB:

YES. YES. That is right answer there. Thanks.

[ATTN NOOBIES! - New to ArmA II or OA - Here's the place for your questions]

Anybody know answer to my question few posts back:

Multiple User names/Mission folders like in OFP. Is this possible in ARMA2/OA?:confused:

[ATTN NOOBIES! - New to ArmA II or OA - Here's the place for your questions]

I have few questions:

1) Vehicle/Tank driving in ARMA2. How to point them place where they drive? Is there pointing mechanism like in old OFP?:confused:

2) Multiple User names/Mission folders like in OFP. Is this possible in ARMA2/OA?:confused:

3) Is this bestest way to use addons? Install them in separate folders and use that expansion option thingy.:confused:

[Arma 2 Addon request thread]

I have suggestion/request addons for this game:

How about those MIG animals from OFP? That would be great!

In ARMA2 are animal addons made by BIS. Cows and others. Those BIS cows lack sound like MIG cows.

[Single Player missions for ARMA2]

Please give some links for Single player missions for ARMA2/OA. No addons. Just plain missions.

[FDFmod 1.0]

I just want to say this: This MOD is amazing work here. I have suggestion here: Can those old OFP:FDF islands imported to ARMA2/OA somehow? That FDF:Eastborder is just perfect work there. I had lot of fun making missions for that island.

[Some addon questions]

GÃœNTER thanks for all the info. Much needed here. Because CAA1 is importing ARMA to ARMA2/OA I think I can leave that ARMA alone and concentrate to ARMA2/OA and OFP.

[Taviana Island for ArmA 2!]

-Martin- I just tested Taviana and this is just impressive work there. That escalator thingy was just great addition to island. I can't wait to make campaings/missions for Taviana. YEAH*3!:yay:

[Arma X anniversary edition question]

Yeah! Here is one horse addon for ARMA. Beta stage thing but still great addon.

[CSLA Studio - work in progress thread]

I have this CSLA mod for OFP and it rocks. Good news here. Need to keep checking this mod. Yeah!

[Some addon questions]

Thanks zigzag. This will help me a lot.

One question more:

I have these game versions:

ARMA II: OA

1.60.87580

ARMA II:

1.11.86734

ARMA:

1.185281

Are these game versions up to date or do I need to download updates?

Sorry for double posting but one question more:

WHY these ARMA island addons are so helluva large in size. In OFP they where much smaller. Is it packing or texture handling or what?

Sorry for double posting but I have to say this:

I just played little bit with this ARMA and this is really good game. Graphics are just amazing there. Even the old BIS:OFP islands are nothing like the same. So thank you BIS for this awesome game. Well done. Well done indeed.

Just one more question:

Many islands require addon called CAplants. I this is addon called CAA1. Where to download it and what is it?

[Some addon questions]

Hello everybody. I'm new to this ARMA game and I have few questions:

Question1:

Where to download island addons?

Question2:

Where to download those sound/island/addon/infantry modding tools?

Which is a best tool to download? There are many. I know.

Question 3:

Where to get some tutorials for this all?

[Just want to say: Thank You BIS!]

Thank you BIS very much for adding animal addons in ARMA. Some great objects there.

[Taviana Island for ArmA 2!]

-Martin- I have finally bought Arma X anniversary edition and now I can try your island also.

[Arma X anniversary edition question]

Sorry for triple posting but this is good feedback for BIS: Finally some animal addons in your games. Great work! Now we only need two animals more: Camels and Horses. Both ambient and mountable(drivable) objects. How about that?

[Arma X anniversary edition question]

Sorry for double posting but does anybody know answers to these two questions?

I have one question more:

Does ARMA2/ARMA :OA contain any farm animal addons like MIG animal pack?Question Solved

[Arma X anniversary edition question]

Question 1: What patches should I download to these Arma X versions?

Question 2: What map editor upgrades/downloads I can use with these Armas

I just downloaded few gigs of addons

My game versions are these:

ArmaII :OA

1.60.87580

ArmaII:

1.11.86734

Arma:

What upgrades should I get?

[Arma X anniversary edition question]

I have Arma X anniversary edition pack. I have these questions:

Arma gold = Arma 1

Arma II = Arma 2

Arma :Cold war assault = OFP version 1.99

Operation Arma II Arrowhead = Newest arma version

Here is my question: Am I right in all of these?:confused:

Second question: Where to download ARMA/ARMA 2/ARMA: OA addons?:confused:

[Ofp problem in windows 7]

In compatibility tab I ticked these three options also:

Disable themes.

Disable desktop arranging.

Disable display scaling then DPI-setting is high.

That helped a bit.

ON FLASHPOINTRESISTANCE.EXE i ticked Windows XP SP3 mode also. Error message dissappeared completely.

[Ofp problem in windows 7]

That -nosplash -nomap thing helped there. I have other problem: In start menu I see two mouse cursors and taskbar is flashing under menu. What is this problem here?

I have CSLA mod installed and it worked fine because it has separate start EXE to run. Weird thing here. In CLSA mod start screen are ALSO those two mouse cursors and flashing taskbar under there.

[Ofp problem in windows 7]

I did as you adviced. Downloaded pack and installed it. Problem is still there. What now?

[Ofp problem in windows 7]

What? Installing directX 9 over directX11. HOW to hell do I do that? Advice me here. Please.

By the way:

I have ARMA X anniversary edition in my posession. So I can finally try this hype called ARMA.

[Ofp problem in windows 7]

Help! I have installed OFP to windows 7 and I am getting strange error message at start.

Game doesn't even start. It shows this error message:

=====================================================================

== C:\OperationFlashpoint\FLASHPOINTRESISTANCE.EXE

=====================================================================

Exe version: Fri Jun 22 00:39:07 2012

ErrorMessage: Cannot create 3D device:

Adapter 0 (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti ) Fullscreen

Resolution 1280x720, format X8R8G8B8/D16, refresh 0 Hz.

Error D3DERR_NOTAVAILABLE

I have OFP 1.96 installed. What is going on here?

My Windows is: Windows 7 Home premium - 64bit

My DirectX version is: 11

I know this: That error code is related to DIRECT3D.

Maybe this info will help here.

[Sound Problems in OFP]

Question:

Hardware Acceleration? What is that? How does that affect sound?

About this Hardware Acceleration. Where do I disable it?

Question to Zulu1:

What operating system you are using now?

[Sound Problems in OFP]

Update about my problem:

When I shoot tank and it explodes after that all sounds go quiet and computer re-boots. After that I see this message in Windows XP: Windows has recovered from serious system error. What is going on here :mad::16_6_8::computer::rage:

This problem usually occurs then there are lot of tanks on map.
