you can use ArmA Free instead of ArmA 2, though

wouldn't that defeat the whole purpose of releasing DLC content for free with low-res textures? I keep hearing about people trying to re-texture BAF and PMC stuff so they don't have to buy the DLCs

there's something weird going on with the save system. it all looks OK in the debug panel. but when you log out and log back in you realize you progress wasn't saved once, and you just lost a couple of hours. all my friends have experienced it today a couple of times (on two different servers).

AFAIK, it should go into the My Documents\ArmA 2 folder

AFAIK, they were taken out while looking for the bug causing the "Waiting for Server Response/Retrieving Character Data" screen of death. I expect them to be back soon. btw, does the official forum of the project work for everybody but me?

the biggest problem with PR is there's no ACE in it. never touching this PR for this reason alone

in my experience, if an open game server advertises its TS server, you're free to join at any moment. some game servers actually require you to be on their TS server to do certain roles in-game (flying jets or choppers, for example)

you basically go to a server hosted by the guys who are hosting the game server you're playing on. TS info usually can be found somewhere on the ArmA2 server (either as text in mission info, a marker on the map, a pop-up in the chat window or a billboard near the spawn area) I don't think I ever encountered any kind of abuse on any of the servers, really.

you can teleport from Utes to Cherna in Red Harvest? :eek:

that's funny, because my friend installed them in a different order (OA first), and everything seems to work fine

no, you don't need to uninstall OA, it doesn't matter in what order you install them. just install ArmA 2 into the same directory. although I'm not sure how patching works, you'll probably have to apply the 1.00 to 1.09 patch and then the 1.11 one (need confirmation on that)

you put the command line this setUnitPos ""; into respective unit's Init field "UP" will make it stand, "MIDDLE" - kneel, "DOWN" - go prone

Sony Vegas?

so, I'm trying to figure out what parameters do what exactly when setting up a mission. also, what effect each value will have on the server's performance. so far it's been very confusing. I don't remember what version I'm playing (probably this one), but nothing ever happens. enemies rarely appear, the whole map is devoid of all life, save for times when I secure a town, then, 5 minutes later an enemy squad will come to retake it. and that's pretty much it. that's all there is to do, go into a town, stand there for 5-10 minutes, defeat a wave of enemies. what am I doing wrong?

yeah, and the wind changes every 10 seconds, so good luck with that

wait 'til you get ACE... that mod uses ALL of your keys on the keyboard, remapping them all will be hell. :dead: the yellow and red chain icons in the corner represent your connection with the server. red means you are lagging and the server is having difficulties. yellow you can pay no attention to. as for servers, windows under the list of servers has all the info on the highlighted server, the biggest one lists all the mods. the first few lines are identical for all the servers. if you see additional entries there with a @ symbol attached to them, these are mods you have to have installed to be able to connect. some of the mods you don't have to have (depends on the server settings), but stuff like @ACE or @fallujah is a requirement.

if it's with crappy graphics and DX9 support, I'd vote for it too

I love my HK Holo 4x, it is god at close-to-mid ranges, with a bit of practice you'll be taking out enemies from 500-700 meters with it no sweat

I might have misunderstood, but the way I saw it was that the OP couldn't find a single mission without the red x beside it, at the very same time I was in the game, and there was at least a hundred maps open to public, without passwords or mods. that was my point, probably the OP wasn't patched properly or his server filter wasn't set up

probably because each class has a certain appearance associated with it, so if you take a grenadier, he will always have a helmet, which will override your beret, this is only a guess though

big red X marks mean your version of the game differs from the one they're using. you're obviously doing something wrong so don't be so quick to blame other people.

bookmarked

I am available pretty much always, but I don't have OA

I will, thanks a bunch

I could be a moderator (have some experience with that), sadly, I'm too lazy to learn php or w/e so I can't help with the layout/features :(
