Thank you, I will get on learning the config.cpp right away, however I still don't understand the skin_co.paa and skin_nohq.paa files. Here is something I want to do: I want to put a custom insignia on the left shoulder of my unit by editing the myskin_co.paa but how do I tell which part of the myskin_co.paa picture belongs to the left sleeve of the unit because I have opened various texture files and everyone is different. Some have skin for helmets and hats, others don't etc... I just want to know how is the greyscale and co.paa files made so they match the certain unit's body and how to distinguish the body parts in the myskin_co.paa file because my skin contains lots of straight lines and I have to flip the picture sideways for the hand sleeves and some other body parts in order for them to match properly.

None of these is the issue :(

Everything is the same. I can join my game through OFPMonitor or LAN. The hostname, motd, admin password, maximum player slots are the same. Here is what my bat file looks like: REM OPERATION FLASHPOINT RESISTANCE STANDALONE DEDICATED SERVER LAUNCHER REM REM OFPR_Server.exe -nomap -server -config=server.cfg -cfg=server_flashpoint.cfg REM ^^^^^^^^^^ REM REM Name your config file here.

This worked! Thanks!

TCP/UDP from 2302 to 2305 are forwarded, even firewall is off. Neither 1.96 nor CWA works :(

I have played crCTI like 6 or more years ago :D Thank you all! Do you guys know how can I make my own server visible on OFP Monitor? I have a OFPR_Server.exe and a batch file to launch it. I also set reportingIP="213.92.154.12"; but my server does not show on OFP Monitor.

I see. Thank you. By the way I only see around 20 servers on OFP Monitor and there are only 5-6 that have players. Am I missing something?

I see now. Thanks. But I am using CWA with Steam. Is that a problem for OFP Monitor? I know I should have patched my original OFP to 1.99 but I like to use is through Steam.

I did, but there aren't many server, also I can't join all the servers (can't click the join button) and on others I get instantly kicked off once I join them.

How can I find crCTI or other CTI servers nowadays on CWA? Gamespy is down...

Well after working on the code that DarkWanderer gave me I was able to do what I wanted to. Here it is: 3 fadeSound 1; enableRadio true; titleCut ["", "BLACK IN", 3]; waitUntil{!(isNil "BIS_fnc_init")}; if (group player == Pilotgroup) then { ["Soviet airbase", "Western Nogova", "May 26, 1985 - 04:30"] spawn BIS_fnc_infoText; } else { if (group player == Spetsnazgroup) then { ["Nevelkov", "Southern Nogova", "May 26, 1985 - 04:30"] spawn BIS_fnc_infoText; }; }; This creates a different info text at the start of the game. Since the pilot starts at the airport he'll see the first text and the Spetsnaz group that starts in the village of Nevelkov will see the second text. Haven't tested it in multiplayer but I believe it should work. Thank you very much.

Is it possible to make 2 different info texts 1 for 1 player and the other for a group?

Is it possible to make briefing for multiple units in the same group without using unitname createDiaryRecord for each specific unit. Something like {_x createDiaryRecord} forEach units leaderName or {_x createDiaryRecord} forEach units groupName.

Check if fuel is low: fuel (vehicleName) <= 0.4 Check damage: damage (vehicleName) >= 0.5

It's an MP mission for 6 players. 1 players starts as a pilot at the airport, the other 5 are a group of Spetsnaz who have to clear a village and use laser designator to mark a specific target for the pilot. I want the pilot player to see the following: titleCut ["", "BLACK IN", 3]; waitUntil{!(isNil "BIS_fnc_init")}; ["Southwestern Airbase", "Nogova", "May 26, 1985 - 04:30"] spawn BIS_fnc_infoText; sleep 1; playmusic"text"; sleep 3.2; playmusic"text"; and the Spetsnaz team to see: titleCut ["", "BLACK IN", 3]; waitUntil{!(isNil "BIS_fnc_init")}; ["Nevelkov", "Southern Nogova", "May 26, 1985 - 04:30"] spawn BIS_fnc_infoText; sleep 1; playmusic"text"; sleep 3.2; playmusic"text"; Basically the first line displays the village/location, the second line displays the part of the island and the third line displays the date and time. But the bis_fnc_infoText in the init.sqf is displayed to all units I don't know how to spawn triggers and add stuff to them :confused:BTW, I don't want to open another thread so I'll ask here - how can I check if a whole group has damage>=0.8? Something like damage count units group1 >= 0.8 but this code doesn't work

Yes sorry :rolleyes: I noticed that after playing a few more missions :D

Wow! Great job Sander, it looks like I'll have something to do when I have free time. By the way I just played the mission Cold Haul and it seems 3 objective markers are out of place.

I am not sure if this is the right place to post this since it's concerning the CWR2 mod but: http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/597037256758256614/1F36D1A1D8796280046362380A9222BEAB2FFDCA/ (443 kB) As you can see I have multiple campaign missions from CWR2 in my MP missions list and there are a lot of cutscenes from the campaigns as well. I do not have any of those in my MPMissions folder nor did I ever extract any of the original missions to multiplayer from the editor. I also have single missions from CWR2 multiple times in my list. I don't know what's causing this but please, can somebody tell me how to fix it. It's really annoying.

In Operation Flashpoint the triggers and waypoints have an option to switch to camera view and spin around the trigger/waypoint. I don't see such thing in ArmA 2 CO and I was wondering how can I make a camera spin around a trigger position slowly? I searched in the forums but didn't find anything. Also in the biki the cameraEffect doesn't list a Around and Slow effect.

Well IMO, I think Malden is a lot better with Everon/Kolgujev forests. I think like 5 or 6 years ago before I bought OFP, I downloaded Cold War Crisis from a website. I still have this memory (which can be false) when playing the CWC campaign on the mission called Pathfinder, the other friendly squad comes out of a forest that's like the same as Everon's. Same thing on the Interdiction mission when I ran away to finish the mission after I blew up the tank. Maybe if someone can post the CWC and Resistance patch notes because I can't find them, we can see the changes. And if you notice the screenshot, this is just below Houdan. That's where the Interdiction mission took part on that mountain. The place in the campaign was called "The Border Zone" :P

Hello everyone. I was thinking of posting this thread long ago but I always forget. Why do I have this strange feeling that Malden had the same forests as Everon and Kolgujev? http://cdn3.steampowered.com/v/gfx/apps/65790/ss_7fde608cd7f7df6003933cd362429673851a9589.1920x1080.jpg?t=1319591526 (133 kB) - this is an official screenshot I have on the back of my original OFP GOTY edition CD box I think long ago when I played OFP I remember that. But I think version updates changed the Malden forests. Am I right?

Share your description.ext and the init code of the unit you're using the setIdentity. How are you expecting to get help when you say that something is not working for you without letting anyone know what exactly you're doing and how you're doing it?

I did a lot of research on this but I could not find the answer. For anyone who has played the Red Hammer campaign in OFP, if you remember the HQ is named Eagle. I was wondering if it is possible to make a sideChat from Eagle. So far I've tried the following stuff: 1st - East unit named Eaglebase. init field - this setGroupId ["EAGLE"] problem on the chat is it appears EAGLE 1. So I need a way to remove the callsign number. 2nd - I tried with game logic, but it only works for globalChat Logiceaglebase globalChat "EAGLE: blah blah blah" I tried making the game logic to east side but then it acts like a unit and has it's own standard ArmA 2 callsign. 3rd - Obviosly this doesn't work - [east, "EAGLE"] sideChat "Blah blah blah" Neither does EAGLE = [east, "base"] sideChat "Blah blah blah" And I don't want to edit the stringable.csv. I am looking for a editor/script way to do this. Thanks.

Okay I did some random stuff with triggers and action scripts and finally achieved my goal. Since I want the action to appear only when a player who hasn't taken a map is in the vehicle and if he gets out the action to disappear I did this Player unit name is Gastovski. Init field - this removeWeapon "ItemMap"; Map1Taken = false; Map2Taken = false The other unit name is Mike. then I use 2 triggers 1st trigger set to repeatedly Condition - Gastovski in Hawk and Gastovski == driver Hawk and not (Map1Taken) Activation - map1 = Hawk addAction ["Take Map","Map1.sqf",[1],0,false,true,""," driver _target == _this"] 2nd trigger set to repeatedly Condition - not (Gastovski in Hawk) Activation - hawk removeAction map1 3rd trigger set to repeatedly Condition - Mike in Hawk and Mike == driver Hawk and not (Map2Taken) Activation - map2 = Hawk addAction ["Take Map","Map2.sqf",[1],0,false,true,""," driver _target == _this"] 4th trigger set to repeatedly Condition - not (Mike in Hawk) Activation - hawk removeAction map2 Map1.sqf: _radarObject = _this select 0; _activatingPlayer = _this select 1; _actionId = _this select 2; _activatingPlayer addWeapon "ItemMap"; _radarObject removeAction _actionId; Map1Taken = true; Map2.sqf: _radarObject = _this select 0; _activatingPlayer = _this select 1; _actionId = _this select 2; _activatingPlayer addWeapon "ItemMap"; _radarObject removeAction _actionId; Map2Taken = true; I'm pretty sure Nimrod's way is easier and I will try it next time but since I already got what I wanted it I'm too lazy to recreate this whole thing. 2nd the _radarObject = _this select 0; is just a copy-paste from an addAction tutorial I found. I am not really sure what it is and what it means :D

Hello. I have 2 questions regarding addAction and removeAction. 1st how can I make an action available for everyone who enters a specific vehicle. I only found out how to do it for a driver this addAction ["Action Name","MyAction.sqf",[1],0,false,true,""," driver _target == _this"]; Is there a code that makes the action available for everyone regardless of their position in the vehicle and is there a code for only 2 positions in the vehicle (for example an action only available to driver and gunner). 2nd I am making a mission where you have to get in a helicopter to take a map because you start with no map. But because no players start with map I was wondering how can I make an action available to all players but only usable once per player. So if I take the map the action disappears for me but not for other players who haven't taken a map yet. This is the map script: 1st helicopter init: this addAction ["Take Map","Map.sqf",[1],0,false,true,""," driver _target == _this"]; and Map.sqf: _radarObject = _this select 0; _activatingPlayer = _this select 1; _actionId = _this select 2; _activatingPlayer addWeapon "ItemMap"; _radarObject removeAction _actionId; But the last line removes the action for everyone. If I don't use this line I can use the map action more than once and I don't want that. Thank you in advance.
