The arma 2 camera scripted movements are quite basic (point to point), and the movement is choppy, I came to create a better controller for it. What i did lets the camera move along a spline path, what can be created with help of beziers. How to install: You have to copy the scripts folder to the mission root directory, and you have to call this command in the init.sqf: [] call compile preprocessFile "spline_cam_scripts\spline_cam_script_init.sqf"; How to use: The spline format is a 4 part array. Single spline array:[pos1,c1pos,c2pos,pos2] The animation functions uses splines array. Example spline: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bezier_curve.svg P0 = pos1 P1 = c1pos P2 = c2pos P3 = pos2 The second methot with 2 degree: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f2/Spline01.gif (169 kB) Example script: How to join 2 splines? spline1 = [pos1,c1pos,c2pos,pos2]; spline2 = [pos2,c1pos1,c2pos1,pos3]; splines = [spline1 ,spline2]]; [splines ] call SPLINE_DZ_CALIBRATESPLINESPOS; handle = [splines, 100,30,0.01] spawn SPLINE_DZ_ANIMATE_SPLINE_FOLLOW_CAM; WaitUntil{ScriptDone handle}; This function moves the cam on a spline path pointed on a stationary target. [splines array, target pos, play duration, update interval] spawn SPLINE_DZ_ANIMATE_SPLINE_FIXPOS_CAM; This function moves the cam on a spline path pointed on a object(can be moving target too). [splines array, target object, play duration, update interval] spawn SPLINE_DZ_ANIMATE_SPLINE_FIXPOS_CAM; This function moves the cam on a spline path pointed on the direction of the movement. [splines array, target distance, play duration, update interval] spawn SPLINE_DZ_ANIMATE_SPLINE_FOLLOW_CAM This function moves the cam on a spline path pointed on another spline. [splines array, splines array, play duration, update interval] spawn SPLINE_DZ_ANIMATE_SPLINE_SPLINE_CAM This function smoothes two connected spilnes (with the adjustment of the position of connection point) [splines array] call SPLINE_DZ_CALIBRATESPLINESPOS; These are the cam movements in the demo mission: Download: Script source and demo mission: dev-heaven.net If you use it, please give my name in credits.

According to latest changelog: "Tweaked ammo penetration values for small caliber weapons. This follows the previous update of larger calibers. All changes are based upon real ammunition characteristics and are calculated according our analysis equations." Somebody noticed any changes? The 9x21(P07 pistol) still do not penetrate the corrugated steel sheet. :( Only the wood doors, walls.

Are you guys interested in a windows 8 version with metro UI?

As i see the links are dead. I will fix the links as soon as possible.

Some more fixes and features! - 1.15 - Fixed: Autostart with OS not work. New: Check for new version of the application. New: Wait cursor over beta list while checking for update. New: New application label + link to download page. Fixed: Double click on the list item not start downloading. Download from: https://dev-heaven.net/projects/a2-beta-list/files

Hi community. Thank you for the 500+ downloads, and sorry for the late fix. But here comes! :) - 1.14 - Fixed: Builds with build number above 99999 was not detected. Download from: https://dev-heaven.net/projects/a2-beta-list/files

Is any confirmation about the correct holo optic sight? I hope it wont be the same like in A2(static crosshair).

EDIT! OnlyRazor was faster! :D

Then the feature name "Smoke will be dynamic" is not very precisse. It can be a global thing(i hope) or simple just for missle smoke trails. Event to it can be animation or Physx stuff too.

What this confirmed feature exactly mean: "Smoke will be dynamic"? Is it , like in this video or sth else?

I had this error before when i used beta patch for Arma 2. I'm not sure but the problem was with sortcut's "Start in" path. You get same message when you start the game with exe directly?

Hi community! I want to announce a project which I'm currently working on. The basic idea is to make available some ingame features out of the game. Component diagram: Currently on my to do list are: - Compass (only this will be available in public alpha) - ingame Watch - Map - chat log - support available Mods! Programing language is JAVA.

Hogthar posted the first release on the Armaholic so I think you can try it soon. :)

I unable to view the change log on beta page. Ask for user name and password and because of this even the beta list application not working properly. :)

Is any information about the A3 penetration system? Will be the bullet go through the human body?

I totally agree with you!! It is important, because even the current Arma players need to learn how to use new features of the game. Good campaigns are demonstrate the game features too.

What about this, on the top right corner?

I think this little app no need more features. So this is the last release until A3. - 1.13 - New: Single click on the task icon will bring the form to the top. Download from: https://dev-heaven.net/projects/a2-beta-list/files

I totally agree with you. The most terrible thing in action menu is, you need to find the point where action is available an then find and select from the list. In summary the whole action menu should -as you said- clean as possibel. I thing the AI commanding is good enougth, because 90 of the commands are static. And if you learn it, it can be use fast and simple. like 3-2-1 combo.

I like the TOH's visual action control. I mean the get in vehicle, change seat. This would be great to see in A3 too. Ladder, get in to vehicles, to static weapons, etc..

MMO games has separated world parts. They have desync and lagg too, when lot of player are in tha same world part(city, war).

Impressive! THX
