Ohh i am fighting with the zoom regularly too, that indeed the right click does not respond when going in or out of zoom. I end up then with double right clicking or pressing num/enter to leave zoom. I always figured that it is because of the low fps I have.
-
Yeah the choppers needs some more tweaking. If you don't shoot at the choppers then they will leave you alone most of the time even though it's scripted to attack when you are in the city area, will have a look at that.
I tried to keep it as low lag as possible for that reason, other then the AI on the map there is nothing active that causes lag, it's indeed the map. I don't have any lag outside Zargabad myself, but in the city I do have a bit lower fps too. I always have low fps so it does not bother me that much :)
I added limited available weapons to make it more challenging, I specially left out any launchers besides from the launchers the AT-riflemen are wearing. You can change the ammo boxes yourself easily if you prefer different weapons, I included the mission folder.
I was thinking about downloading the fallujah map actually, not sure if I will use it for this mission, have to see the map first :)
You finished it fast btw for only 2 people! Maybe it's not hard enough then?

I am sill having issues connecting to my server and a lot of other servers with the status "creating". However I do not get the error message (server load text) anymore on my own server after writing a mission list in the 'server.cfg' config and I have a ping now next to my server name.
When I join the server though i keep getting 'waiting for host' now. Also the server is spamming me this:
20:50:45 Mission Operation SharpEdge 1.2.Zargabad read from bank.

And that spam goes on and on... Did i configured it wrong in the .cfg?
I placed this at the bottom of the config file:
class Missions
{
class MPCoop_01
{
template = Operation SharpEdge 1.2.Zargabad;
cadetMode = 1;
};
};

I havent played the missions so can't help you with that, but you can unlock all SP and campaign missions with a cheat.
-
How often do you play and for how long for?
On average 15 hours a week, would love to play it even more if I had the time for it :)
What do you play most? Original, OA, BAF or PMC?
Mostly OA since it was released, but sometimes I still play a short mission with the original A2.
Are there any must have MODs for you?
Non.
What utilities/hardware helps assist you?
Gamebooster to stop all the background services and programs running.
Do you play singleplayer or multiplayer the most?
Single player and the editor.
If you play multiplayer, what server(s) do you play on? Clan, favourite or random?
Not a big fan of MP so far. Probably because I do not use voice thus not welcome in clans where voice is always mandatory to join. Random servers (Domi) I get annoyed to much trying to get to the action. Choppers you want to get in take of 2 meters before your nose... When you finally get a lift the chopper crashes into a hillside. And with other missions You have to walk like 2 miles to an objective that is cleared by someone else 100 meters before you arrive at the location, walking 2 miles for nothing.
What's your favorite role and pet hate when playing multiplayer?
Any infantry unit and flying jets. No hates (other then the already mentioned).

I was bored so I had some fun with BQM's.. more explosions then my Gcard could handle :) -
I've updated the mission :)
Version 1.2
- Added a new objective
- Reduced the amount of AI a bit
- Added customized weapons to AI (Militia will also use shotguns and uzi's)
- Some civilians are hostile and may carry uzi's
- Included the mission map for easy editing.

there is no such thing as easy modelling software. Once you understand how one modelling software works, you understand them all (minus o2 maybe, which is based on verts rather than polygons).That said, you can get any autodesk software for free(non-commercial) if you are a student (and you can prove it), and almost any other big software developer sells discount licenses for learning and non-commercial work.
From what i know, in A2 community the software used is (in that order):
* 3ds max - 3500$
* modo - 1000$
* blender - free
* maya - 3500$
* cinema 4d. - 3700$
Regarding blender, it is a very robust software kit, capable of doing everything commercial products do. It is though, as you said, non-intuitive. But you shouldn't expect any of them to be a plug-and-play.
From every software i have tried and used, modo and cinema 4d are the most straight forward (that is if you have at least the basic knowledge about what modelling is).
Hope it helps.

Hi, That sounds all pretty discouraging lol.
I have played with Wings a bit and did create some basic sculpts (rocks and rubble) which should be similar to creating mesh models. It took many hours though to figure out just the basics.
When I saw autodesk it at least looks all more intuitive, but the price heh... I am a bit to old to be a student so no change on getting that for free. I will have a look if I can find some kind of discounted version.
I am not going to use it professionally, but It does look like a great hobby :) The learning curve of the apps and the prices of some of the software is an obstacle.
Hope someone will post a DL link to the O2. Maybe that fits me better.

search is your best friendhttp://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BI_Tools_2
Thanks, I only used google sowwy:o

Hi thanks Myke. I tried to google it, but can not find a download link unfortunately. Did see some referrals in forums where they talk about it, but no working links. do you have a working link perhaps?
-
As the title said, what is the best software out there to create meshes. I really want to get into modeling (not just for ArmA), but so far it has been a drama finding a good program to do it with.
I have tried Blender and Wings 3D, but both programs are far from intuitive (to say it mildly). Guess thats why it is free software. I just can't work with them.
I have looked at a great program 'Autodesk', but the prices of that are insane (approx 3500$).
What software do the ArmA modders use here? Are there affordable easy to use 3d creation programs out there?

Try to do a cache check on steam (verify cache). A lot of times it fixes these issues. Steam might need to download some more files.
Ohh disregard that, Gunther already mentioned this :)
-
It would be cool though if you could place fortifiction objects in mp missions. Lets say your team has captured a town and then you get 10 minutes to set up barbwire,H-barriers, bunkers and static defenses before the other side tries to (re)capture the town. Although this should also be possible with scripting in the mission probably.

Well...Fallout 3's DLCs might had more content....but they weren't cost only $10 when they were released...Edit: once again, despite the lot of mods around, there were a helluvalotof request for the Brits to be made into the game by Bohemia. And despite some person's loud disapprovement, BAF was a huge success, so BI decided to continue with DLCs. They said before that they are curious how well DLCs will turn out, it turned out for them pretty well, so the story continues...
Overall the DLC's might be a success, It could have been a bigger success with bigger maps. I did not buy the DLC's so far, because I will probably not play the campaign and the small maps and content are already added as lite versions. As I can not play ArmA on the highest settings, I will not see much difference between lite and full detail models anyway :)
If BI releases an other DLC then then they should add a big map and not make it available if you did not buy the DLC.... otherwise there is no need to buy it (speeking for myself). :p

)rStrangelove;1754225']Yeah good idea. Whats the point switching to a sidearm inside houses when you find you cant turn while going upstairs - no matter if you have a pistol or rifle you always get stuck under a railing. .Yes this is a small, but persitant little annoyance in combat. Especially in OA there are many houses with stairs to roof tops, but you can not use the top of the stairs for cover or use/peek door openings for cover. Always struggeling with the rifle and in the end you get killed because you have to reveal your body to much to be able to shoot/aim.
Maybe an idea to make the worn rifle phantom so that the barrel does not get stuck so much
-
Glad it is working for you now. I should have suggested the cache check... that usually solves most issues :)
-
I had the same file 'corrupted' few days ago. I have the Steam version and only had to do a cache check, Steam downloaded some files automatically and the error was gone.
-
Hi, It is working fine for me (see video above). It is the exact same mission, just removed the fog and saved it again. So not sure why it is not working for you.
Merry xmas to you as well :)
-
Hi BOOtsyI played v 1 a few times and was always killed in the fog by an invisible APC gunner.
V1.1 won't run for me
Error
No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgWorlds.1.'
No idea what it means but it won't run
Regards
Rick
Sorry but posted in comments section too
will remove that now as i found this thread ;)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah v1 accidently had added way to much fog after entering Zargabad. I fixed it right away after noticing it. :)
Did you run it with CO or OA? It will only run with the combined ops client.
-
It's a pain in the arse m8Ahh ok, this issue has been reported a month ago already. Thanks for letting me know. It is indeed a pain :/

hmmclient/server
either ports forwarding issue (not forwarding properly or at all)
software or hardware firewall
router issue
or server data issues
or BattleEye issue
Hi dwarden,
firewall is fine, same setting as always, ports are correct and battleEye is not the problem either as I can play on servers with BE enabled. As I said, active servers I have no problem at all (the ones I tried), only empty servers with status "creating game" is causing this issue so far.
Good thing is that I do not play MP much anyway (tired of Domi-warfare mission), but I do want to use my own server to test missions which I can't now.
-
Hi, CongratulationsI liked this mission, but we needs tasks too. The fog makes the game more difficult, I like it.
A lot of AIs for only 8 players and fog, resulting game play very difficult. A suggestion is create a Param to reduce AIs a bit....
Best regards
Ps. sorry my english is not enough...
Hiya,
I haven't added official tasks to the map section, because there are only 3 objectives that speak for it self. Well there is one more objective, Try to not get killed to much :)
The mission is intended to be realisticly difficult as far as thats possible with AI. Even though there are a lot of enemy AI's they will not all hunt you down. Most of them will stay at a general area and hide in buildings till your team is close enough. Only the choppers will follow you over a larger area.
With the fog removed the mission is tough, but do-able. It is a matter of the tactics you use for a large part. If you go all rambo then you probably will get killed a lot. You really have to make use of the buildings for cover and work with your team to flank enemies etc.
I played it in Vet mode yesterday and got killed just 5 times in the whole mission. If more people think it is to tough, I will reduce some of the AI or make more of them less skilled. :)

Any way to not have the dead AIs despawn? I haven't played this mission yet, but from my experience with other missions, despawning AIs kill the suspension of disbelief. Thanks.You mean persistant dead AI bodies? Sure I can do that, but I let them delete after a few minutes to keep it low lag, Zargabad is a pretty laggy place if you do not have a high end PC. The way it is now everybody can play it with a good FPS. I could tweak the timer a bit so that they delete after a longer period.

I thought that my previous problems with connecting to a server was fixed after Steam downloaded some missing files, but unfortunately there are still some server I can not connect to properly including my own server. So far it only happens on empty servers with the status "creating game" and with nobody on the server.
After connecting I get a sever message that i have never seen before.
I can get on the server, but all missions will not load. Also all the missions are saying "play again","abort", "continue" while I never played those missions. It should say "play" and not "play again". When I click "play again" nothing happens. When I click continue I go to the next screen with the vote countdown, after the countdown nothing happens anymore either.
On the active servers that I checked I had no problems at all.
Weird stuff.
-
Thanks. It seemed that Steam did not do the last update well. I did a cache check and it's downloading some more files now. Hope that will fix it.
---------- Post added at 11:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:24 PM ----------
Yep that fixed it :)
-
So do I need to reinstall ArmA or the server?
-
I have just updated the sever, but I can enter the server anymore. I keep getting auto banned lol. Did not have this issue before I updated it. In MP The server shows normally as green.
Any idea how to fix this?
Last time i tried to login I also received this error in the server window.

You have a similar pc as I so you should be able to run it (with normal settings). I have 1 Gb more RAM, but even that it is not enough often. You might want to increase virtual memory, as thats probably to low with your 2Gb RAM.
You did not mention if you have a Steam version or not. If you do then you should verify the game cache, it might be missing some files.
