Okay, so I just bought the Steam version of OA, got it updated to 1.56, and when I list the available multiplayer servers, 90% of them are red. I realize that some of them run @ mods, but when I click on the ones that don't, it says: "Version Required: 1.57" in red, and below that "Current Version: 1.57" What am I missing here?

Thanks a bunch guys.

Hey guys, So basically, I've been researching how to get RTM data out of Maya so I can get some custom character animation the Arma 2 engine. I think I may have figured out how to export the RTM data from Maya (generating a simple .rtm file), but I don't exactly know what to do with the file. I know it has to be packaged into the .pbo, but do I need to edit the configs of the characters? Does anyone have experience with this?

Awesome, I'll check it now. Thanks.

Thanks man, much appreciated.

Hey there, I'm wondering if it's possible to extract the original BIS .rtm animation files from the .p3d skeleton files. Cheers

Hey guys, I've been searching the forums high and low to learn about how the modding community animates their models, but haven't figured out a good Maya workflow. I know that O2 is used to import the BIS models and skeletons, but I'm wondering if there's a way to import the skeleton into maya somehow, animate it properly there, and then export the animation data back into the .p3d file. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd be much appreciated.

Yeah, I was checking that one out. I'm able to use the provided rig, but I have no way of importing the BIS skeletons and converting them to the Maya rig. BIS really needs to release the proper plugins.

Yeah, I did. I think maybe everyone else is behind still...

Hey guys, So I read a bunch of MP intro guides to OA and I'm pumped to finally jump into the MP scene. My only question is, what maps and or co-op missions are the best for A-10 or combat heli pilots? My definite strong suit is a CAS role, and I'm not sure where to start. Much appreciated.

Hey guys, This may seem like a really stupid question, but mulitplayer on Arma has always been very intimidating for me. Are there any good tutorials on how the different game modes work, how to play as a team, or just good tips on multiplayer?

Hey guys, I've been searching the forums and looking at youtube videos and i managed to figure out how to get the uav working in my mission. My questions are: a) The uav doesn't follow my waypoints...any ideas why? b) Is there an altitude max for the uav? Currently I'm using this script in the uav unit box: this flyinheight 820; c) How do I lock the camera on a specific spot while flying so I don't have to readjust?

Hey guys, Can someone point me in the right direction on a tutorial that shows you how to script aircraft so they will attack your target? I've searched everywhere, but I can't find any.

What's the 1.05 build number? Are there more recent beta patches since the 1.05 release? Also, did the 1.05 release add any support to win 7?

Just wondering if it's still worth puttin in the -xp command now that the 1.05 patch is released...

Hey guys, I'm pretty new to Arma2, and I'm wondering if I can a few things sorted out. Firstly, I read that there are some shortcut commands you can add to increase performance. My current rig is: Win7 64 I7 920 6GB Ram GTX 275 OCX So far, I've added these commands to the shortcut: -winxp -maxmem=2407 Are there any other ones I should add?

Okay, I know it's been said a thousand times over, but I feel it needs repeating...even more so because 1.05 failed to address what the community obviously feels is a major issue. Locked camera modes for the UAV and navigatable waypoints. Without it, the Repaer is useless. I mean, the modders had it in Arrma1 for crying out loud. The Reaper drone should be able to loiter way above visible range with the ability to fix the camera with the laser designator. Are there any plans to include this in Operation Arrowhead? Any of you modders currently working on this?

I'll be damned. I read the release notes for his addon and didn't notice any thing about the camera in the documentation. Thanks a bunch. I'm going to check it out asap.

Yeah, it's irritating. Come on you modders, get on it! I kid, I kid. I actually have no idea how hard it is to mod for this game (brand new convert from the bf2 modding scene), but I can't imagine it's too hard - particularly if the camera already supports the function. I'm going to tinker with the code and see if I can get something to work. Don't hold your breath though.

I didn't really see anything about UAV camera locking in that mod. Am I missing something?

Yeah, that's the one I figured. However, I didn't really understand the UAV implementation. Does the mod offer the ability to lock the UAV camera while moving? Are there any videos of this in action? I couldn't find any so far...

O rly? Checking now... Edit: What thread exactly?
