I back you man! ebanks maps are probably the best for my personal taste. He is sharing his work with everyone in the way he feels its the best. We need to respect this. You have the right to demand improvements from BI, because you pay for their games, but this guy is using massive amounts of his time to release this for the community for free. Men, Ebanks is a fucking hero, bend your knees, you trolls. We should be thanking him and not acting like a bunch of vulptures. I guess Opterix had a similar problem with demanding trolls, and as a consequence there are no more of his amazing maps anymore. What a team they would have been opterix and ebanks...!!! Respect for ebanks Gmork

I think a personal friend of OPX said he was admitted to a mental health institution. If this is true I hope he is well, and creating crazy stuff there for arma2. He did much better maps on his own than the whole BI team. He deserves a good rest and to get well soon.

The iraquies have won the war and will keep fighting until the last invader is out, and so will the afghans. and the fighters from the iraqui army did not capitulate. Paul Wolfowich and the Pentagon clever guys decided to dismantle the iraqui army. That was the biggest error the Americans did and the beginning of the end for them. Even without a proper army, many leaders of Baaz party in the shadows still command fighters, and more than 200 different groups from different faiths and ideas, the iraqui resistance, have been coordinated by them.

Hi EI8ght, i follow these instrutions, but i cannot find the base anywhere in the map or the editor. Where does it appear excatly, or how do you load it later in the editor? I have the same problem with the populated marketplace template, i cannot find it anywhere in the editor. By the way, the base looks amazing. Good work man Gmork

thanks Twisted, i will have a look at it

well, Iran is a country that has attacked no other country for more than 200 years. In addition their religious leaders have prohibited the use of atomic weapons. The inspectors of WMDs have found nothing at the moment and all the reports for the CIA and secret agancies have stated that there is no proof that Iran has WMDs. Now, they are stubborn and US does not like them as they are a country that can defend herself, so its not good for their geostrategic plans, so they are trying to demonize them. On the other hand they know Iran will defend herself with all their potential if they are attacked, so i hesiste they will dare to attack. They better disarm their prey dog in the region, Israel, and there will not be Muslim countries planning to desire developing WMDs, since the only cause that can make them choose that option is having a aggresive neighbour who is constantly colonizing other countries and attacking civilians. If I was you guys I would be more worried about the most dangerous country, which is not Iran, but Pakistan. Where do you think the most of bad guys are hidden while Afghanistan population is being punished by Us UAVs? So you know, forget worrying about Iran and worry about these other 2 countries. Regards Gmork

thanks for your answers Kylania, i think I will join a programation course if we want to use the editor. Do you know of any plac where this is taught? cheers Gmork ---------- Post added at 09:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 PM ---------- by the way, the link you send is quite interesting. it would be great if BI could do something similar to this ;)

man chill out again.

Hi guys, I am quite new at creating missions and still find the process too complicated. I would like to know the answer for a couple of questions that perhaps people more experienced in the creation of missions might know: 1- can IEDs be activated randomly? i mean if you put 5 IEDs in a map, but you want only 1 or 2 of them to detonate randomly if the target reaches the trigger area, etc. Every time the same mission starts, 1 or 2 or 4... IEDs will detonate randomly, or even might not detonate at all, so the missions are different every time. 2- can IEDs be activated by animals? i.e. in Afghanistan there have been cases of DIEDs (or Donkey activated IEDs) etc. Can we make a rabbit, or a sheep detonate and IED (i.e. "activated by-eastern-rabbit" :) 3- Can suicidal bombers be set up to only detonate if any of the west players kill a civilian (like kind of revenge in real life), or even if one of the civilians killed is grouped to him (like a memeber of his family) etc. 4-Are there EFPs or there is a way to simulate and EFP? I would appreciate if someone could help me to find an answer for these questions. thanks a lot Gmork

Polar bear is right in many things. The Arma series are very difficult games to keep up to date. Not because of the game itself is difficult, but because of the amount of addons you require to add to be able to play with other people, and although there have been developments, you need to be constantly downloading utilities that organize the addons, or need to be constantly searching in forums to be able to learn the basics to be able to keep the game running and make some missions. Now I have to say I kept buying the Arma series in the past because this it the type of game i would like to learn to play and concentrate on. This will only happen when BI or whoever develop tools that solve the constant problems for all the clients who do not have the advanced IT skills you need to keep the game updated. The only develoment I would like to see is a user friendly addon updater and more manuals and easy access to information for people who want to create missions. I have many friends in the same situation. They stopped playing Arma2 because of the extreme complexity of the tools required to keep the game updated. Therefore there must be hundreds or thousands of players in the same situation who would be faithful players if the game became mor euser friendly in general. They just released OA a couple of month ago and before Arma 2 and before that Arma 1 ...etc and they have developed the British expansion. If BI want to make more money selling games, i think it is worth having all these suggestions into consideration. What about doing a pool about this? how many people who love ArmA, series would play more often or would recover the passion to play if the game was automatically updated without requiring a Masters in IT and tons of frustration? How many people would play more often if there was more detailed and easy to find information about developing missions? (and please do not answer saying there are tutorials, forums, and some manuals..I have used hundreds of hours getting bits and pieces from different forums to make my basic missions). Looking forward to the moment Arma2 becomes easier to be maintained. I bought all their games from operation flaspoint to ArmA2, but have not bought OA and Britsh expansion as I do not want to waste money until something is done about these issues. Now before the BI inconditionals try to bite my neck i want to say I like what BI has created, and I think their games are the best in the market, they just need a little bit of polishing so not only "the chosen ones" can thoroughly enjoy the products they have they purchased. BI games have lots of potential and there are many thousands out there who want to start believing in them :) thanks Gmork
