Is there any way to disable the missions? "destroy the tank" mission, I hit it from the rear with 3 rpg's and 2 HE rpg's and it still went active. How about disable the roaming helo's? I found how to add more time to the missions, but I would like to disable them. Thanks

Thanks rsoftokz for the time you put into this. Looking forward to your next creation! I made my own little Roads type mission using Ravage and the editor. I can be made as simple or complicated as you want.

I'm having a problem with my character hunching over to the ground and no cross hair, not being able to use sights on weapon. Just started playing with Ravage and Roads is exactly the kind of mission I like to play. I have searched the Ravage thread using "bugs" as a search term, looked through the eight pages on this thread with no luck. Anyone know whats happening with this?

thank you!!!!!!!

The large storage box at the hideouts will re-arm vehicle ammo. Also will re-arm static weapons.

Something I have found that has not been spoken of, there is a place you can re-arm vehicle ammo. Not sure if I should say, Rydygier might take it away! hahahaha

Loving this mission! Have played nothing else since finding it a couple of weeks ago. I loved Tonic's Wasteland, I will catch myself thinking in a Wasteland mindset, looking for good hiding places and so on. Duh lol. Played with default settings until a helo made me it's "special project" lol The thing would not leave me alone. I stumbled into a firefight with probably a 7 or 8 man squad in a small town. Killed 4 or 5, the helo showed up, then left. I lingered around the town, checking gear, etc. The helo came back and would not leave. It was just flying around till I looked at it through the scope of my rifle, then it began attacking me. I found a rocket launcher, and I swear, it teased me into shooting at it, just hovering close in front of me. I shot, missed, died... lol. I left my vehicle behind, sneaking away, the helo seemed to sense where I was at. Away from the town (icons did not show till I got close) I found a couple of surrendered AI's. Maybe I missed one, and that's why the helo stayed around. Helo's are now turned off in settings... Tried "underwear mode" with "realistic loot". Doing it Wasteland Style! hahaha. At a large base found lots of equipment, including drivers coveralls,civvies clothing, and military fatigues. Game would not let me wear them. Gave up on that mission. A mobile artillery piece did come driving by while I was at the base. First time for that. Playing now with "easy" difficulty, Since he is PMC, I'm thinking he would come to the island well prepared. Loot is set at "realistic", I don't think you would find military equipment scattered around in civilian houses. In the Wasteland Missions, there is a "survival/health" system where you have to find food and water to stay healthy. Something like that might be good for this mission, could be too much work to apply it to this one though. Don't remember seeing this already discussed. This is really a great mission as it is, thanks for making it!!!!

Excellent!!

The problem with icons is being able to hide from someone you don't know or trust.. Imagine the team killing if everyone on any given side had a little "light bulb" over their head for players on his side to see! As for team killing, if possible, make a "forgive system". After some number of team kills with out being forgiven player gets kicked. It seems that "going rogue" has went out of favor lately. Civ's kill anyone they come across unless on team speak or side chat. How about this; opfor kill opfor = kick blufor the same as above blufor kill opfor or vise versa / WIN!!!! Civ kill or be killed by anybody. Last night on tonic's server there was a rash of killing and weapon stealing at the gun stores. Luckily a admin showed up and the offenders got themselves a swift little kick. Also someone was laying land mines all over the place. Internet gaming is full to the brim with jerks who don't know or care about following any rules. As this mission get more popular it may get much worse. With some people, the only way to get them to follow rules is to cram them down their throat. At Dev Heaven it was suggested to do away with the gun stores. That may be a good plan but I don't look forward to a night without NVG's. Anyone who has them will be godlike in their ability to own anyone who doesn't. One last thing, I heard a ridiculous story of some guy, maybe in a priests skin, riding around the server on the hood of a vehicle....dancing. I know that can't be true. ;) Edit 09-19-12 I'm done. Too bad a great mission has to be ruined by roaming AI at the gun stores. (where players are not allowed to fire)

Thanks for the reply Tijai

Does the user/client computer have to download and install any mod files, or will he get everything from the dedicated server when he connects to it?

I use left and right scroll for freelook and 3rd person view.

I'm having a problem commanding an AI squad. I'm sure it's me not doing something correctly, but after searching, can't find the answer. Here are the steps I take. Press spacebar to select squad (default white team) When the command box comes up the options "unit,move", "unit,fire mode", and "command unit" are greyed out. This happens with selecting the full squad or just one squad member. Have tried after using the 7 key for combat mode before trying the move command. Have tried spiting squad into two teams. This happens in both the editor and on MP servers. Could someone please let me know how to get the move commands green so I can use them? Thanks.

From watching some video's, the commands I was looking at are normally greyed out. The "move there" command is what I was missing. I had messed it up while remapping my keyboard. Set the controls to default and was more careful about changing keys fixed things.

Never mind, problem solved.

Many thanks for the replies! Something that may or may not be related. At the time I was having the controls issues, I was also having video problems, mainly artifacts. Not happening at the same exact time but in the same gaming session. After changing some video options, not alt+tab out of game, not using fraps, and using a disk defragging program, I have not had the control issue or the video issue (crosses fingers lol) since. It's only been a couple of sessions of a few hours each, but these two things have seemed to be resolved. (again...crosses fingers!)

I'm very new to Arma2, have only had it a few days. Not sure if the title of this really explains the problem, but here it is. 1.After re-spawning I was stuck in freelook. had to reboot to fix. Another player had the same problem, said his corrected itself after dieing and re-spawning a few times. 2.After standing from the prone position would go prone after taking a step.(stand up, take a step, automatically go prone again) 3. After being revived,would automatically start moving in a random direction. A press of the key to go in the opposite direction usually would fix. Any help would be much appreciated.

ok thanks! Could the step, go prone thing be from injuries?

I use alt for push to talk in team speak. I use a side click on the scroll wheel bound to the * on the numpad for free look. Have deleted anything to do with free look and alt in the options/controls.
