    Excuse me if this is ignorance but other than not throwing a few errors what's different about this and running the A2 addons as an expansion and loading CAA1?

    I played with Chernarus and Sahrani on the 2nd or 3rd day of the Alpha release... it is mind blowingly awesome in A3...

    It uses the new Arma 3 sky (eg. volumetric clouds) and the new shadows.

    Plucking the pbos directly from A2 to A3 doesn't give you this.

    Hello,

    I recently been having trouble with enabling addons. This problem applies to addons other than official BIS expansions. Whever I enable one, it jumps to the top of the expansions list. If I try to move it down to the bottom, once I restart the game, the addon is still up at the top. I prefer to use the in game GUI for addon management rather than a command line. I have never had this problem before and I only noticed it today when I added a new addon.

    The problem with this is that some addons were meant to overwrite original Arma 2 content and so it must be at the bottom of the list (loaded last).

    Any suggestions? I prefer not to do a clean reinstall if possible.

    Running: OA Build 96895 (beta, Steam). I have tried deleting my config file in the documents folder but that didn't help.

    Thanks in advance,

    Brian

    our DLC works fine between distributions, so You can buy DLC from our store or any other store and use it with any distribution ...

    Gee, how come I'm only finding this out now? I would've preorderd this DLC the day that it was made avalible. :eek: So if I buy it, I just download the installer and it should install (given that I have the Steam versions of everything else)?

    Thanks for letting me know, going to buy this very soon. :)

    Hmm... weird.

    If you can't get the option of "detonate charge", try going prone and then place the satchel/bomb underneath the com station. A symbol with two reflected triangles divided by a line should appear (which means the bomb is on the ground). Select "timer 30 seconds" from the drop down menu. Crawl out of the station and back off quickly.

    It could be a bug or a problem with a mod, this problem doesn't seem to happen in the English version.

    Yes, buying a new game key is like buying the game again. The ban is probably permanent but I cannot confirm this. I don't think there is a way to get unbanned, hacking is usually taken very seriously in any game regardless of how 'sorry' you are. If you really want to test weapons, I suggest that you open up the editor in Singleplayer, place a unit and ammo boxes and then try the weapons from there. Some of the weapons, such as the DMR can be found in some of the ammo boxes (ie. US army weapons) but weapons such as the winchester cannot be found. Using/testing the winchester in singleplayer would take a bit more time and work. ;)

    Just make sure you don't hack again when you get your new key.

    Hi there, after signing up for months, I have finally decided to start posting. I've been playing ARMA for quite sometime ever since I got it in 2011. I got into mission editing back in Janurary and I have been addicted to it ever since.

    Now here is something that I think is impossible to do.

    I want to change the transport magazine/weapon capacity of the PMC Armoured SUV (50 magazines is not enough). I can't find a command to change it directly through the editor (there is no "settransportmagazine" or anything like that)...

    I cannot extract the PMC pbos; the extractable pbo in the 'common' folder doesn't have a 'proper' config.bin for the armoured SUV.

    So if anyone has any ideas, please let me know. I tried looking around already but no luck.

    Thanks and I appreciate it.
