I am writing a prisoner rescue mission and have a problem where my disarmed prisoner (player) can still use ACE's knockdown. I need a way to either disable ACE's knockdown for a specific player and be able to enable it again, or somehow detect a knockdown event and punish the player somehow. Right now my prisoner can knockdown guards without consequence which is kind of problematic.

So for some reason when I try to put down buildings as commander, they show up as completely green models but when I left click to place them nothing shows up. I.e. the building is not placed but the money is subtracted, am I doing something wrong?

The OP is right, the server browsers for this game are horrible. The six updater is the best one by far in my opinion, but it has a horrible UI, designed by a programmer so no surprise there. I am convinced if it was easier to install mods and join servers this game would thrive so much more, there is a lot of lost potential here.

Does anybody know what version of the linux server will work with the current up to date stable client?

It's a shame that BI is taking this stance. Especially since they claim linux support for the game. At least give us some transparency so we can make proper decisions. I just wasted a few days of my time trying to setup a linux server with the stable and alpha releases without success.

Is it currently impossible to setup a linux server that supports an up to date client? I am in the process of setting one up right now, am I wasting my time?

I am trying to run Arma OA server (1.60.94743) on a dedicated gentoo box (2.6.32-gentoo-r7) I got the install folder setup like this: total 17236 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Sep 9 19:36 addons

Segmentation fault So I am just trying to get a basic server running and add stuff to it from there, but I can't seem to even get the bare bones server up. I am doing all this as root to avoid permission problems, once I have it working I would like to run this as a non-root user.

I don't understand why a windows dedicated server would take priority over a linux one to be honest. It is without a shadow of a doubt the far superior server environment as far as bang for your buck goes. As previous posters have mentioned, it does more with less. I guess it all depends on what market BI is trying to woo. If they want to take a bigger bite out of BF3's market (disclaimer:I am an ex-BF3 player) they cannot afford to ignore the things that loyal fans really want.

Thanks for the answers gentlemen.

Specifically, how do you publish your addon to the six-updater so that people can just add your addon to their presets and download and use it automagically?

I have an object class that extends Notebook, what property of this class affects the fact that it sits in the inventory in the slots that hold things like earplugs for ACE. My problem is that it seems that this item is unique and I can have more than 1 of it in my inventory at a time. Is there a property I can add or remove from this class so that I can carry more than 1 of it in my inventory?

I am working on a system to buy weapons as well currently, the DM Real Tournament 2 mission looks interesting.

isNil "_marker" seems to have been the answer, thanks for playing everyone.

Tested isNil as well and it does not work either.

Hi, I am having a problem testing some return values. This is for a multiplayer mission, I am trying to test if a local variable is set via: _name = _this select 0 { if (isPlayer _x) then { _marker = _x getVariable _name; if (isNull _marker) then { _marker = createMarkerLocal..... } }; } foreach playableUnits; When I run this code with some diag_log statements to see what _marker actually is it shows up as <null> in the logs, but isNull does not evaluate to true somehow. Am I misunderstanding something here, does <null> not really mean null? Thank you.
