Hi All, I have a strange problem when I try to host a mission on LAN. Here's the situation: We have two computers in the house, mine and my brother's. When he hosts a mission, I can join him, but when I host the same mission, he can't join me. The process goes as far as downloading the mission and then he gets booted automatically. There is no error text. I imagine I have permissions or something set up on my computer that are preventing him from joining, but I don't know where to start looking for the problem. If anyone has had a similar problem, I would appreciate hearing about how they solved it. PS, All of my missions are unmodded and I run my game without mods when I host. Thank you for any suggestions or ideas.

Hi All, I am making a mission on Tanoa where certain enemies must be killed in order complete each task. Because these need to be named in a trigger's condition field (e.g., !alive Bugs_Bunny) I place them on the map by hand, but for all other enemy AI I have a trigger spawn them when Blufor gets close enough (e.g., _group2 = [getMarkerPos "ap2" , west, (configfile >> "CfgGroups" >> "East" >> "OPF_F" >> "Armored" >> "OIA_TankSection"), [],[],[],[],[2, .5],33] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup;). I get the configfile directly from the config viewer in the editor. Unfortunately, when my AI spawns, they are friendly to Blufor even though they are dressed and armed as Opfor. I was confused by this. Has anyone else had this problem? Aside from placing all Opfor by hand, what might be a solution? Thanks in advance for any help and advice. Cheers.

Thanks a lot. I feel a bit stupid for overlooking that, but I love it when solutions are easy. :)

Let me start by emphasizing the positive things: Arma is great. I love so many aspects of the game that it surprises me. Everything from the helicopter flight to content creation.In fact, what i like best of all is that it is a game that encourages the involvement of players in the development of content. I am motivated and excited to learn the programming necessary to make ARMA even better. It was a particularly smart move by the game developers to enable players in this way. I myself am not disappointed and will continue to play. There is something, however, that I wonder about. I have read that it is good to play through the showcases in order to be "all you can be." This seems very reasonable. However, sometimes I find them impossible. I get killed when surrounded by rock, for example. There is an interesting contrast to my experience however: I have read that many players complete the INFANTRY or the COMBINED ARMS showcases on elite mode and find it "fun" when they succeed. It leads me to wonder if I am completely retarded. I played the INFANTRY showcase on regular mode at least 100 times and failed every time. I tried everything...really. Finally I succeeded...why? I don't know. Now I am having a similar experience with COMBINED ARMS. I flank left. I flank right. I charge in. I stay back. Just like the infantry showcase, everything I try fails. I have not made it past the first stage and I have tried at least 75 times on regular mode. Are these players that complete the showcases on elite mode gods or am I just stupid? Stupidity is certainly a possibility but all evidence points to me being completely average. My question: What is other players' honest experience of these things? Am I alone in my experience?
