Hi all, I just want to make constant graphic effect of "grain" / "noise" (call it as you like) in every mission, everywhere. I know arma 3 engine allready have such effect. Regularly i use small addon "ASCZ Post-process Effects" created by EvroMalarkey (http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=26113) This addon allow to apply few presets with color and noise changes via Zeus menu. Since i noticed that it very annoying to open Zeus, dig into the menus and select preset every time i start any mission. I opened this addon and noticed that it include only one small config.bin file that have few lines of code. So i understand that mod maker didn't create whole effects from scratch, he only used arma 3 built in effects with his own settings. So maybe it very simple to create small script with only one effect based on arma's engine? I use only one preset and it have only few lines of code to run... (i only changed values related to grain for myself) It looks like: class CfgPostProcessTemplates { class Default { colorCorrections[] = {1,1,0,{ 0,0,0,0 },{ 1,1,1,1 },{ 0,0,0,0 }}; filmGrain[] = {0.10,0.10,0.10,0.10,0.10}; }; Thats all... Maybe it also necessary to call for Postprocess module at the beginning of code or something like that... So maybe some of you can help me and write some small script that will automatically run with every time i start the mission??? I dont have any programming skills at all, but i believe that to write such a script is only metter of few minutes for somebody that understand. I'm not asking to copy - paste whole addon created by other man, jusy to create some small new addon. P.S. Why to add grain to the game? I have pretty big visual experience as photo, video and digital artist, and i can share my opinion that in most cases adding small, slightly visible, amount of luma grain to the picture create effect of more live, more harmonic look to every element of a picture, especially when we talk about noiseless picture that out from computer 3D editor. Just try it... and maybe you will like it too.

HI, i use stats system with armaNET sqlite database, for counting kills and deaths etc.... when using inbuild revive script from BIS and stats system, when you are wounded and have no choice to be revived, the player death counts are 2 after respawn! i hope its clear enough lol i will try to explain better: for exemple player get killed it counts 1 death, and the revive system comes up, if nobody revives you and you respawn then the death count is 2 for the player. that's the problem ! it should not be count 2 deaths but only one, else if you push respawn button in revive system the killticker will say player killed himself. so my question is how can i fix this ? revive system should be ignored in deaths count. Player in revive state is defined as dead.

Here is an execution flow-chart for those who might have difficulty working out how the isServer or isDedicated process works. I'll add some more flow-charts how other things work as well later. Tell me if it's helpful. This is based on Killzone_kids explanation for multiplayer execution states displayed here. http://killzonekid.com/arma-scripting-tutorials-basic-multiplayer-coding-summary/

G'day guys, I'm proud to share one of my best work used for my upcoming mod...DSS! (You can find the page in my signature) Repair Wheel and Engine Script Repairs the wheel or engine of a car or truck. If the wheel or engine is already fixed, it will terminate the request. This script is also MP and SP compatible. USAGE AND TERMS: This script is under protection by the "ADDON MAKERS FOR AUTHORS' RIGHTS": http://amar.arma3.fr/ If you are to use this in your server, mission, etc. Please do give me credit! For those of Altis Life, BP (Breaking Point), and other major mods, you will have to ask me permission in order to use. This script was more intentionally for my upcoming mod, DSS. But since this is a community, I felt generous to contribute a bit of my stuff. ;) To PM me for permission to use or you are have troubleshooting, here is my profile: https://forums.bistudio.com/user/800011-ranwer/

I wrote a little script to help with base building. This is meant for people who want to build static bases on a map with absolute position (not a composition) and just get the simple createVehicle code back. This is essentially what the broken 3D editor does except this uses Zeus so you get all the objects and stuff. Here's the script: private ["_pos","_radius","_collection","_startingInt","_c","_final"]; _pos = param [0, (position player)]; _radius = param [1, 250]; _startingInt = param [2, 0]; _collection = nearestObjects [_pos, ["All"], _radius]; if (count _collection > 0) then { _c = _startingInt; _final = ""; { private ["_obj","_class","_sim"]; _obj = _x; _class = typeOf _obj; _sim = getText (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> _class >> "simulation"); if !(_sim in ["soldier","invisible","curator"]) then { private ["_pos","_dir","_fuel","_damage"]; _pos = position _obj; _dir = getDir _obj; _fuel = fuel _obj; _damage = damage _obj; _br = toString [13,10]; _buildStr = format ["_vehicle_%1 = objNull; if (true) then { _this = createVehicle ['%2', %3, [], 0, 'CAN_COLLIDE']; _vehicle_%1 = _this; _this setDir %4; _this setPos %3; };", _c, _class, _pos, _dir]; _final = _final + _br + _buildStr; _c = _c + 1; }; } forEach _collection; copyToClipboard _final; hint "Copied to Clipboard"; }; There are 3 parameters: 0: ARRAY - Position at which the anchor the grabber 1: SCALAR - (Optional, defaults to 250) Radius to use when searching for objects 2: SCALAR - (Optional, defaults to 0) Starting interval number (use this if you want to add on to your base without having to rename variables from 0 to X etc.) All you need to do is put this sort of thing in your init.sqf and then place the Zeus modules on the map in order to enter Zeus (the script will not grab any module objects). player addAction ["Save Composition", { [position player, 200] execvm "zeusGrabber.sqf" }]; player addAction ["Load Composition", "myBase.sqf"]; Output will be something like this. Then to load your objects just call a script with the generated code inside it. _vehicle_0 = objNull; if (true) then { _this = createVehicle ['Land_Communication_F', [3997.9,4011.65,0], [], 0, 'CAN_COLLIDE']; _vehicle_0 = _this; _this setDir 0; _this setPos [3997.9,4011.65,0]; }; _vehicle_1 = objNull; if (true) then { _this = createVehicle ['Land_BagBunker_Large_F', [3990.86,3984.25,0], [], 0, 'CAN_COLLIDE']; _vehicle_1 = _this; _this setDir 0; _this setPos [3990.86,3984.25,0]; }; _vehicle_2 = objNull; if (true) then { _this = createVehicle ['Land_ReservoirTank_Rust_F', [4018.19,3981.11,0], [], 0, 'CAN_COLLIDE']; _vehicle_2 = _this; _this setDir 0; _this setPos [4018.19,3981.11,0]; }; _vehicle_3 = objNull; if (true) then { _this = createVehicle ['Land_IndPipe2_Small_ground2_F', [4025.75,3983,0], [], 0, 'CAN_COLLIDE']; _vehicle_3 = _this; _this setDir 0; _this setPos [4025.75,3983,0]; }; _vehicle_4 = objNull; if (true) then { _this = createVehicle ['Land_Factory_Main_F', [4011.58,4021.95,0], [], 0, 'CAN_COLLIDE']; _vehicle_4 = _this; _this setDir 0; _this setPos [4011.58,4021.95,0]; }; _vehicle_5 = objNull; if (true) then { _this = createVehicle ['Land_BagBunker_Large_F', [3978.38,3996.92,0], [], 0, 'CAN_COLLIDE']; _vehicle_5 = _this; _this setDir 0; _this setPos [3978.38,3996.92,0]; }; _vehicle_6 = objNull; if (true) then { _this = createVehicle ['Land_BagBunker_Tower_F', [4009.92,3967.57,0], [], 0, 'CAN_COLLIDE']; _vehicle_6 = _this; _this setDir 0; _this setPos [4009.92,3967.57,0]; }; _vehicle_7 = objNull; if (true) then { _this = createVehicle ['Land_Shed_Small_F', [4036.71,3988.52,0], [], 0, 'CAN_COLLIDE']; _vehicle_7 = _this; _this setDir 0; _this setPos [4036.71,3988.52,0]; };

Hi all. I was about to finish the fifth Arma II campaign mission, "Razor Two", when by some mistake I reverted to the beginning of the mission and all my saved games seemed gone (didn't appear ingame). This bothered me a great deal, because I was playing through it for the third time and finally managed to get all the evidence and get to Bardak in time. I thought I was in luck when I found the saved games in my "home\Documents\ArmA 2\Saved\ca\missions\campaign\missions\C2B_RazorTwo.Chernarus" folder. I opened the last one with the OA executable and reloaded the game successfully. However, although I can finish the mission, it will no longer advance the campaign. Successfully ending the mission does not unlock the following one. Also, after loading the savegame the "Suspend" option in the menu is replaced with "Abort", and it will delete all mission saves, or so the message says. Saving in a new slot and reloading that game doesn't change this. I've tried copying the old save somewhere else, like "home\Documents\ArmA 2\Saved\ca\missions\campaign" but it didn't work either. Only restarting seems to restore the normal menu behavior (and would likely allow me to continue the campaign). Looks like this behavior was intended (perhaps as an anti-cheat measure?) but as I mentioned I have already played through the mission three times and wasted a lot of what little free time I have, and I'd rather make that old save work if it's somehow possible. Does anyone know of a way? Thank you.

Hi fellow scripters! We've just added documentation on an initial batch of 30 new TKOH script commands. We will both do more batches and add more detail to currently posted documentation. This thread shall keep you in the loop on major updates. Of course any community assistance is more than welcome, and in fact, the first commands were added by MadDogX :cool: Highlights of batch 1: Helicopter engine commands Persistent saving / loading to / from user profiles (very powerful for any scripted system needing to store data on the disk - read the warnings please! ) Custom radio channels (potential for a extensive ATC system if desired)
