    Warning: This post may contain some sarcasm and dry humor, proceed at your own risk.

     

    So just to get this first part in my head because I can't quite understand your logic within this post in any way shape or form, your making a post on a public forum (in the wrong section FYI) stating that people are not helpful and you honestly talk like a complete d*ck about them and how apparently did not help you. Ok so maybe I can comprehend you being upset about people maybe being unwilling to help you but what the hell do you hope to achieve by posting here in this forum post? 

     

    Questionable logic aside learning how to modify Arma has very little if not nothing to do with knowing lots about computers themselves, yes it can help but you can just as easily learn if your willing to put in the time and learn to not let the frustration of something not working get to you. Within the Arma communities (there are many communities and sub-communities) there are plenty of resources to help you learn everything you could ever need, you simply need to look harder sometimes to find them.

     

    Examples:

     

    • Learning Modeling: Literally hundreds if not thousands of videos exist on YouTube and other similar networks that explain how to make models, for the most part it can carry over to Arma.
    • Learning to script: There are pages upon pages of wiki content on the official wiki that explain what each class, variable and everything else do and examples of how to use them. Not to mention the millions of lines of hard work and dedication from mission makers that release or host their missions that can be explored and figured out.
    • Learning to configure mods/configs: There are YouTube videos (mostly for A3 but 99% of this can carry over) explaining how to use Object Builder, there are tons of free sample files available in the steam tools library under the name Arma 3 Samples and there are thousands of mods out there that you can also explore to figure out how they did cool things.

    In terms of your apparent experience with certain modders within the community when you ask them for help their response is likely as bad as it is for a few reasons:

     

    • The question may be extremely silly and easy to figure out on your own with a bit of effort or use of Google.
    • If your using the style of writing that you are here (being obnoxious, non-polite and slightly annoying grammar - that ones not so bad but annoys be a fair bit) then I to would likely only give you the initial help requested.
    • It's also likely that they only gave you the initial response because the response they gave was enough for you to work out the rest on your own or Google it (you will never learn otherwise).
    • A few will likely of been older, fed up veterans of the Arma modding community who have dealt with similar questions for a number of years, imagine being asked every single day how to turn the engine on for a boat, eventually it will become irritating, especially when the answer is already all over Google or in this case places like the forums.

    So fair enough your a Surfman in the USCG (I am British so do not know how good or bad that position is), good for you. Please for the love of my patience and that of other people here don't come to a place that is new to you then throw around a completely irrelevant bit of outside information to make yourself feel important, even if your trying to make a point and use it as an example. Saying that you would be in shit as a hired professional for treating someone who you meet whilst working like shit is a given fact, just like the fact that the vast majority of modders for Arma do not do this as a full time job and instead do it as a hobby so your comparison is completely irrelevant.

     

    By the way as a side note there are multiple existent Skype chats used to answer questions as using a forum system for it is simply not as effective, a little use of Google and you can find them.

     

    Last but not least  your telling people who you expected help from to "stow the attitude" whilst expecting help, don't expect to receive it any time soon if you speak to them like that. Saying that we have a "knack for computers and Arma" is honestly hugely disrespectful, how would you like it if we rented a boat and followed your boat in the middle of a rescue operation and used a megaphone to shout "This is not so hard, your just capable of using a few bits of equipment to save someone! My grandma could do this!"? I have a feeling you would not like it so do not do it to us. It would be very nice if you could please remember that everyone here also has a real life and are not just here to serve you thus you will continue to receive sarcastic replies as long as you act the way you are now.

     

    ~ Insert sassy letter here that has no relevance to my own name or anything else, purely for dramatic effect and a pretty shitty exit/finale.

    Hello, I have a quick question regarding hidden selections, I have made a model configed and working in-game now and I am using a hidden texture selection to place the texture, how now would I call forward that texture onto the model ingame without using this setObjectTexture ect?

    class CfgPatches {
class NRPG_Money {
	units[] = {"NRPG_Money"};
	weapons[] = {};
	requiredVersion = 1.0;
};
};

class CfgVehicleClasses {
class NRPG_Bank {
	displayName = "Nerds RPG Bank";
};
};

class CfgVehicles {
class All {};

class Static : All {};

class Building : Static {};

class NRPG_Bank : Building {
	model = "\NRPG_Money\NRPG_Bank_Money_Pile";
	scope = public;
	displayName = "NRPG Bank Money Pile";
	vehicleclass = "NRPG_Bank";
	hiddenSelections[] = {"bank_money_pile"};
	hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"\NRPG_Money\default"};
};
};

    Hello, A couple of years ago back in the old DayZ mod days my cd key was stolen and used by a hacker leading it to get banned. I had no major issues as I bought a new one and used it without steam, however ever since the steam multiplayer update for arma 2 after Gamespy shut down I now receive a global ban message. I tried creating a new steam account and activating the game (the none banned cs key) on there but I still recieve a global ban message. Any ideas?

    Hello,

    I am working on a script for an ArmA 2 Life roleplay mission. The idea of the script is to skip time when specified (every 15 seconds in this case) and it will skip ahead 1 hour 30 minutes. So far I have got the time changing however it is not in sync for all the clients on the server. I will post the script below. If anyone could tell me an easy way to sync the time it would be much appreciated (Please make the explanation as simple as possible I am new to this area of scripting)

    The init file that is refered to by the main server init file:

    uniqe_daynightenable = true; // Chance true to false to disable the cycle.

if(!uniqe_daynightenable) {
[] execVM "uniqechipmunk\daynight\main.sqf";
};
else {
};

    The actual main script:
