You motherflipping legends! :) Thats exactly what i was looking for, and does everything i need! Thanks so much

Hey, thanks for the help thats brilliant! I've managed to find the "extcameraposition[]" section in the main config.bin, but when i downloaded that file you mentioned i couldn't seem to unPBO it? Its like there was nothing inside - so what do i need to make my file to put in the addon folder? Is it just a pbo with a bin file containing just the extcameraposition line, or a copy of the config.bin with my changes? Sorry, i'm ok at mission editing, but all this config stuff beats me lol, thanks for all the help! PS Thunderbird is a legend, FFUR was what kept me coming back to ofp!

yeah, i want to move in the point of view of the camera so its a bit closer and a little to the side so its more over the guys shoulder than right behind his head. The pictures at the bottom of the other link show it well, but thats for arma 1 :(

Yeah, i'm ok with using the crosshairs for general aiming and the sights for precision, but does anyone know how to adjust the camera like i want to? Or anywhere i should ask? Cheers

yeah, i found that with ofp, but for any kind of accurate shooting you'd always go down the sights, especially in ofp when even shooting with the crosshairs in 1st person was a bit of a hit and miss affair. Its more just for atmosphere, and because i like looking at the unit models :) cheers for the reply!

Hey guys, i've just got a powerful enough rig to get me into arma 2, i was a big fan of ofp, and wanted to get the alternate 3rd person view that some mods started adding into arma 2, as it doesnt seem to have been done so far (unless anyone knows of any?) Here's a vid of what i'm talking about in ofp: About 1:30 and some at the beginning too. Also i gather people have done this for arma I: http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard311/ikonboard.cgi?;act=ST;f=70;t=60418;st=90 (pics at the very bottom of page) Someone posted (for Arma I) that you have to do this: "you have to create of course a MOD folder, and then open the main config.cpp, and find these lines: CODEextCameraPosition[] Then change the value inside the {} Does this still work for arma II? And (i'm a noob) how do i create a mod folder? Does the config.cpp mean a copy i've put in that mod folder? And what goes in the []? X, Y, Z coordinates? Many thanks guys :)
