Okay, great. I will PM you about some of the details that we need to go through first. Thanks for this offer, I believe we will come to an agreement!

Hey everyone! I am Feuerex and recently I launched my new youtube channel, dedicated to ArmA series, with focus on Arma 2 and 3. I'd be glad if you checked my channel and I hope that you will find something interesting there. I've worked with ArmA games for some 6 years and I spent a lot of time doing what I do best - writing tutorials. Now I decided to switch to english, move to international zones and become a part of the global ArmA community. I want to focus on the game, not on me playing it. Tutorials, mission showcases and reviews, multiplayer - spectated matches with commentary - and more is about to come. I feel like many casual players who don't really want to participate in hardcore-realism play and don't bother looking for new missions could find my channel useful, as I will try to present some missions, multiplayer games and clans, show some game / editor tips and so on. OK, I hope you'll like it, I spent quite some time preparing everything and now, hopefully, I will be able to produce high-quality videos for your entertainment. If you have any questions, write them below this post or under any of my videos. Also, contact me if you lead an interesting clan or if you created an unusual mission. All suggestions for future videos are welcome, I'm still improving what I can. If you want to see my work, I added two videos here - a 'welcome everyone' video and my latest multiplayer commentary, with unusual 'spectator / press guy mode', which should be actual spectating next time. I am eager to see some suggestions, write me what you'd like to watch and of course, thanks for watching, have a very nice day everyone! http://www.youtube.com/user/Feuerex

I was looking into this matter for some time and I think I have the solution now. It may not work with every mission, but on the simpler ones it works. I am no great expert in scripting, but at least the spectating works on my missions. If anyone has a better solution or more clean way of doing this, I'd love to see it. Step 1 - create a playable civilian unit (or more if you want more spectators) Step 2 - Set the respawn in description.ext in a following way: respawn = 3; respawnDelay = 6; respawnTemplates[] = {"Base","Spectator"}; //set the templates for all units in the game respawnOnStart = 0; respawnTemplatesWest[] = {"Base"}; // both west and east soldiers (real players) will spawn normally on base markers respawnTemplatesEast[] = {"Base"}; //both west and east soldiers (real players) will spawn normally on base markers respawnTemplatesCiv[] = {"Spectator"}; // civilians (spectators) will automatically switch to spectator mode Step 3 - At the start of the mission, respawn times are set accordingly to description.ext. Find a script that launches just after the mission start (any script) and add this line: if ((side player) == civilian) then {setplayerrespawntime 9999999}; It will set the respawn time to a high value so that spectators can stay dead and spectate others. Others will still respawn normally on markers after 6 seconds. So yes, spectator mode is actually a type of respawn. I want to commentate multiplayer matches and tournaments and for that the spectator mode is a necessity. This works fine, if anyone has another solution, post it please. Hope this helps!

Okay hi everyone. I work with Arma series for more than 6 years and finally I have decided to move to big forums. Until now I have been providing help with mission editor on my website, mostly for OFP and Arma 2, but now I feel that I could use some help too, especially with new posibilities in Arma 3. More than playing the game itself I enjoy making videos, tutorials, organize matches and battles, and so on. Hopefully I will get to something big on these forums - my dream is to provide the community with commentated recordings of interesting multiplayer matches on a youtube channel. Oh, and have a nice day everyone!
