How do I make the beginning of a mission a black screen with the mission name that then fades into the game. Im new and dont know where to start. all tutorials are 10 years old so i joined this forum. thankyou

Hey guys, I am currently planning an Intro sequence in a large multiplayer mission and I would like the players to shut the f*** up. Well, as it is the internet and its a lot of people, everybody will be talking during that sequence. As we are also using tfar, I can't seem to find a way to mute all the players during the sequence. Does anybody know a way how to achive this while the intro sequence is playing?

Hello guys i put my Working version of the Animated Opening Intro " same of Tac OPS " In first times , escuse my english 😉 Ok For the First step you need to creat 2 sqf file : timeline.sqf and initIntro.sqf In the eden editor you needto one intro with a player soldier.And save the intro. In your description.sqf enter this code : class CfgFunctions { class A3_Missions_F_Tacops { tag = "BIS"; project = "arma3"; #include "\A3\Missions_F_Tacops\cfgFunctions.inc" }; }; Now you need to add code in timeline.sqf . private _timeline = [ [ 0.000, { //playMusic "LeadTrack01_F_Tacops";

Hello Lads, I am new to Arma Community and i have been into Arma since 6 months. i learned a lot and i'm in love of this game, and Frankly i want to do my own campaigns, Missions, Mods, and Intros. But i can't due lack of Experience in Arma 3, i watch a lot of Youtube Videos and tutorials, i'll get straight to point ... i want to use the Damn F*cking Intro/ Scenario/Outro Bar and it's Complicated with Feurex Tutorial Video - like Class Campaign {}, Class missionDefault {}, and a lot a lot... i just need assistance in my work that's all, if anyone could give me an example of the perfect Campaign or show me how to open Eastwind Project mission files so i can learn from the Original Campaign, i would be very fuckin Appreciate. Also i have military Experience, i know a lot of Covert Ops and Operations done amazingly by The US Armed Forces and British Armed Forces including The SAS, US Delta, US Navy SEALs and i can assist in Mission Making for anyone including Middle East Military.

Hi, I need a script that every time a player connects on server directly when he is spawning exec 2 scripts (welcome music, intro) but only the player who connected should see it, like a init... i tryed it with Init.sqf,initPlayerLocal.sqf,initPlayerServer.sqf. Init only runs the 2 scripts on Server Mission start. an the other 2 did nothing? could you please help me?... Sry for my bad english!

I've made an intro in the editor which works fine and I decided to turn it into the background scene in the main menu. However, the scene doesn't seem to work and the camera simply appears to be looking down the terrain from the sky, so the mission doesn't seem to be loading properly. Here's my config. I don't get any errors while packing the mod, nor while the addons are being loaded. I also made sure to name the intro script "initIntro.sqf" as stated here. class RscStandardDisplay; class RscDisplayMain: RscStandardDisplay { enableDisplay=0; delete Spotlight; class controls { delete Spotlight1; delete Spotlight2; delete Spotlight3; delete BackgroundSpotlightRight; delete BackgroundSpotlightLeft; delete BackgroundSpotlight; }; }; class CfgPatches { class BvT_Main_Menu { units[] = {}; weapons[] = {}; requiredVersion = 0.1; requiredAddons[] = {"A3_Map_Altis","A3_Map_Stratis","A3_Map_Stratis_Scenes","A3_Map_Altis_Scenes","A3_Map_Tanoabuka","A3_Map_Enoch"}; author[]= { "Blackest Night" }; fileName="BvT_Main_Menu.pbo"; worlds[]={}; }; }; class CfgMissions { class Cutscenes { class Tanoa_Intro1 { directory="BvT_Main_Menu\scenes\BVT_Intro1.Enoch"; }; class Altis_Intro1 { directory="BvT_Main_Menu\scenes\BVT_Intro1.Enoch"; }; class Stratis_Intro1 { directory="BvT_Main_Menu\scenes\BVT_Intro1.Enoch"; }; class Map_VR_anim01 { directory="BvT_Main_Menu\scenes\BVT_Intro1.Enoch"; }; class Enoch_intro1 { directory="BvT_Main_Menu\scenes\BVT_Intro1.Enoch"; }; class Malden_intro { directory="BvT_Main_Menu\scenes\BVT_Intro1.Enoch"; }; }; };

Hello so im creating a mission with a song that triggers when I start the mission. So in my description.ext file i've got this class CfgMusic { tracks[] = {}; class MyIntro { // display name name = "intro"; // filename, volume, pitch sound[] = { "\music\sound1.ogg", db + 0, 1.0 }; }; class MyOutro { name = "outro"; sound[] = { "\music\sound2.ogg", db + 10, 1.0 }; }; }; Copy and pasted from Bohemia's website on how to import the music/make it play and in my init.sqf file i've got the following execVM "description.ext"; playMusic "MyIntro"; vehicle player switchCamera "EXTERNAL"; Now everything works, the mission loads up, it forces you to 3rd person and even starts playing the music however no matter who's code I use I always am getting presented with this error '...s\Sniper.Stratis\description.ext" class |#|CfgMusic {tracks[] = {}; class MyIntro ...' File C:\Users\Brandon\Documents\Arma 3\mpmissions\Sniper.Stratis\desc..., line 1 Error Missing ; This above error pops up in black box on the screen the moment the mission loads. It's missing a semi colon but I have no idea where and i keep adding one and nothing, works. Any Ideas?

Hi all, I'm about to issue a D-Day mission SP/MP (Iron Front addon + CUP terrains). Everything goes well so far but I'm trying to add an intro via 3den for SP sessions. This should be simple... For test, I'm just clicking on intro layer in 3den, then adding a simple player and a waypoint. I added a condition true trigger with countdown set to 20 sec and end1 termination (to terminate the intro). No camera sequence at this level. Just a basic intro... Well! Not sure to understand the following: a bunch of errors in rpt file and on screen: I thought intro was running before scenario, then before init.sqf and all EH stuffs.... In fact, I don't understand how it works! - Why intro is running the init.sqf with all the init fields of non-yet existing units! I have plenty of units and variables in my scenario I don't care for intro!!! for example, I named the playable group : HUBERT... and I got an error for a non-defined HUBERT in intro.... Sure! What for? I don't want to copy/paste all units from scenario to intro! - Not found a good tuto. I don't mean a way to make a video but something explaining the sequence, initialization order, things to do on 3den intro. I discovered lately the need to have a player as unit, even if there is no playable thing in intro (and no player defined?) or the need to place something to exit the sequence... Not sure what exactly. So, is there any pro of intro, BI dev, who could help for general information about that? (I'm not looking for mission example but rather a minimum things to know). Thanks

I created a intro scene and inserted a picture into it, but when I preview it, the picture is always directly below the screen. How can I put it in the center of the screen? This is mine initintro.sqf : titletext ["","BLACK FADED", 0]; _camera = "camera" camcreate [0,0,0]; _camera CameraEffect ["Internal","Back"]; _camera camPrepareTarget (getPosVisual targ1); _camera camPreparePos (getPosVisual cam1); _camera camPrepareFOV 0.300; _camera camCommitPrepared 0; showCinemaBorder false; sleep 3; titletext ["","BLACK IN", 3]; sleep 3; titletext ["<img image='123.jpg' size = '20'/>", "BLACK FADED", 30, true, true];
