I'll make better use of titles in the future..I also did do a search as well as read through the BI editing manual but didnt find answer. As far as question 3 I have the markers they show up in the map in preview mode..my question was how to get rid of them. Thanks for the reply. JC

That is very cool! JC

Working on my first mission and running into some issues..did a search but cant find the answer for this..I get this error message when I try and preview the mission from the editor.."Missing BB Script" what is the BB script? I am using a template from BI..so the folder has the init sqf mission sqf description etc etc in it..cant find anything about BB script..any help would be great..thanks JC

Ahhh....cool..thanks!

I rent a server from AOWC..and asked about the patch and when it would be avavilible...the response I got was this from AOWC, Alot of you guys have been asking in tickets about the betas of Arma2 and OA patches, and I wasn't able to get to it in time. So even if we are the 24th, we are today releasing the 1.60 patch for Operation Arrowhead and 1.11 for Arma2. But because of the nature of the patch, the following needs to be known: 1- The Combined ops patch will be a whoppin' 14gb, meaning it will take an average of 5-10 hours depending on the file server's usage at the time of patching. For individual games, the time will be about half. 2- The patch will be voluntary, i.e. we will not force push it to everyone. As alot of you know, ACE has been updated since a while, so it should work out of the box." I'm no expert in this but how does a 700mb patch turn into 14gb? Isnt it just a matter of the exe for servers as well as client side? I am thinking this info isnt correct...can anyone direct me to info on how to patch a server that I have remote ftp access to? Thanks JC

Personally I love the add-on..currently "trying" to make a mission on thirsk and am using these as the squad..they look great imho...defenitely something I couldnt do..so thanks for the addon..much appreciated! JC

Maybe but I copied and pasted from my email..plus even 1.4 gb shouldnt take 5-10 hours to install...especially for a company providing servers for games..youd think they would be faster than that. Just doesnt seem quite right so thought I'd ask here. JC

I ve had the demo of OFP and finally got the full version..was very cheap on steam..are their any servers that still host this? A good friend of mine and I both really like OFP but really havent seen any servers..are they mostly closed to clans? Just curious if their are actually any servers left...I usually host LAN when he and I get together to game..but would be nice to have some others to game with. JC

A friend of mine and I both have OFP Dragon Rising,,but when we try and host online we cant get in the server we made...doesnt matter who hosts..always get connection failed..any ideas? JC

Hmmm..I have Dragon Rising says its 1.07? got it off steam...

Thanks for the reply and looking into it..appreciate everything youve done ...really love Insurgency,,keep up the good work! JC

Just wanted to say thanks..pretty rare you have developers that actually interact with the community on a personal level to improve gameplay and get feedback..thats what always drew me to ARMA...the devotion and dedication of the developer..wont find that in BF or COD..Thanks much for everything you do BIS! JC

That looks great! You modders/modelers are amazing with the stuff you can do.. JC

Well if your taking suggestions for islands..I'd like to throw Thirsk Winter into the mix...its a great map and could be a challenge for Insurgency...again thanks for the great work! JC

Great work! Thanks for all the hard work!! JC

Finally got a chance to try this out last nite....and I gotta say wow..was an absolute blast..action from the start and actual objectives that require both firepower and stealth and mostly team play to stay alive..soon as my server is back up with the hopefully soon released A2 patch I'll be hosting this for sure..great work and thanks for picking it up and moving forward with it! JC

Thanks for the reply..will give that a try...first attempt at making a mission..lol JC

So Ive started to create a new mission using the editor..I'm running CO and use six-updater as a launch. I downloaded a template "Template_Mission-Start_v9" through BIS..started on the mission set up a base to start. renamed and saved as "user Mission" I now see that it created a new folder with my mission name with just the mission sqm in it...how do I merge the 2 so that I can do my intro outro etc etc? tried just replacing the mission sqm with mine but no go..a bit confused here..I also use ACE/ACRE..any help would be great..Thanks! JC

I understand the need for testing and betas and RC's....what I dont get is why their isnt an option for those of us less technically knowledgable to manually download a previous version until the Patch is Officially out...and do not want to or have the tech experience to be downloading betas and RCs constantly..I'm happy to report issues if I knew where to look and report them..dev heaven is a nite mare to get into..half the time I cant log in...and the other half of the time the links are dead or are restricted even when I do get logged in.. I greatly appreciate Both the ACE mod and BI for thouroghly testing betas before release..my issue is with the recent ACE update on six updater that basically forces players to use either a beta or the RC..their should be a download section where those of us who dont want to use a beta or an RC that we can use ACE RC4....I guess until the patch is offcially out I'll play CO vanilla. Rant over..off to kill bad guys. JC

I have ftp access...I havent used any of the betas and I have to manually install everything to the server..I only use six updater for my machine..it doesnt work with six updater...not even sure where to get the last beta before the ace update. or how to use an exe file via ftp access...

Yeah I dont get it..why would you update a mod that requires essentially a beta of a patch that isnt even officially out yet...no wonder 99% of the servers show waiting or creating in the lobby. I now have a server that I cant use...and I'd bet most of the community isin the same boat.

Would this work with a server that you have only remote ftp access to..as six updater is a nitemare to try and get to work..I rent a server from AOWC and need a simple utility so I dont have to manually install and do everything. Thanks JC

Thanks...will try finding older version of ACE..also asked in the ACE thread about this so maybe will get an answer...what a pain in the ass with all these updates and especially now that ACE seems to REQUIRE you to use 1.6 Thanks again AJAX. JC

How do I roll back ACE version to NOT require the 1.6RC? The server I rent wont update unless the patch is official so I need to roll back my clientside machine and the server to be able to use use my server until the patch is offically out. I use six updater clientside. Thanks JC

Thanks for the reply..so how do I rollback to perevious ace version? As a side note I think its a bad idea for ace to basically force you to use the new RC..I find it hard to believe that Im the only one in this situation...Its no wonder over half the servers in the lobby say "creating". Thanks for the reply AJAX much appreciated. JC
