Is there a way to place an ammo box in the bed of a truck?

Hey all. I was playing online last night when my game crashed. I was playing on a mission I had created. When i clicked to exit the mission my game just closed to the desktop and now when ever i click multiplayer, it does that "game experience may change during online play" notice and when i click "ok" it crashes. Im pretty sure its that mission I made that is keeping it from working. I deleted all my missions out of the MPMissions folder but it would not let me delete the mission that the game crashed with. It says "This file is open in another program, cannot be deleted". Arma 2 is not open and neither is steam when it says this. I dont know wtf I can do to fix this if it wont let me delete the mission PBO file! Please help me with this guys. EDIT: Okay. Turns out that some how the server that I started on my computer over 24 hours ago was still going even though arma and steam were closed. Makes no sense to me but then again im newish to pc games.

Lmao. Yeah dude. I know what you mean. Ill win and shes like: "Why does it always have to be a competition with you? You just cant lose can you james?" Oh, I still havent had a chance to try the registry but you guys seem pretty certain that thats the issue so i feel confident. I really hope thats it. She seemed prety disapointed about the whole thing. She thought she couldnt run it. I cant have her thinking I spent that much on a crap computer.

ok thanks everyone ill try that soon.

lol no. For D2D copy. I really hate steam. When we used it we were searching for servers and the list was empty. I swear im never downloading games again. Physical only for me. Thanks for the reply though man.

ok thanks. Is there any reason i should use the steam version?

Ive had arma 2 for a while now and never had any problems with it. Im using a Direct2Drive copy. Heres the issue. My girlfriend got an alienware m15x recently (Core i7 720, GT 240m, 4 gigs ram, 320G HDD). We downloaded my direct 2 drive copy to her computer just to see if it would run ok. It ran just fine with everything set to high/normal. We tried to get her an account on D2D so she could get a copy but for some reason it wouldnt let her buy it. We then tried steam. She bought it and everything downloaded okay but when we tried running it, it ran absolutely terrible even with everything set to very low. Especially in multiplayer. It was completely unplayable. We figured it must be the Steam copy because it was fine with the D2D copy. We then deleted all the files that we know of and began to download the D2D copy yet again and just use the Steam copys key for MP. It still runs like crap. Multiplayer is still unplayable at very low. This doesnt make sense to us at all because it was running good before steam. Any help is greatly appreciated. Copy(s) bought: Steam, D2D Patch: 1.04 from Filefront.com (for D2D version) I use arma edit for the missions I make. EDIT: Were going to try rebooting the computer to see if it works. I really doubt it though.

Is it possible to make a unit argue with another unit or is there an animation for this? Thanks

I have an AMD dual core 3000 2.56GHz on my desktop along side a 9800 gt. How would it compare to that? Thanks for the help.

at 1.60GHz? Thanks.

**** Think its playable?

alienware m15x GT 240m Intel core i7 CPU Q 720 @ 1.60GHz. I went on can you run it and it said CPU fail. Can I play arma 2? Thanks all.

I have no problem using scripting at all if someone would be nice enough to walk me through it. Basically what im trying to do is make a free roam mission with no objectives. I really want lots of traffic all over the map, mainly on the highways. Since there was no addon for this and since i couldnt find any info anywhere on how to do this i just started placing civilian vehicles and waypoints. Ive tried civillian vehicle module but thats only for parked cars. Thanks for the help so far guys.

Ive already set up all the traffic waypoints. If i group them will it change anything? Like make them try to regroup or form up?

oh ok. Youll have to excuse my noobness. Is there any way around this? I really want more civilians.
