[Must see] The My missions... facility within ArmaII

This must have been talked about elsewhere, and I'm sure it's in the manual, but who reads the manual! :p

Anyway, I've made a specific post about this as I think it needs to be advertised much more. I was completely unaware of it until I read about it in a forum post where it was discussed only in passing.

Go to Singleplayer/Scenarios and choose "My missions..."

Within that, you can choose to create a new mission. What then starts is a wizard that is quite intuitive and makes really neat random singleplayer missions for you based on some simple parameters you set. They aren't the most realistic missions, but this facility basically makes ArmaII an infinite singleplayer experience.

Well this may have been an Arma1 mod that's been developed by BIS, but who ever though of it needs a lot of cudos. It's genious.

A wizard you say?

Wait.. you are not talking about the mission editor, right? Is it a mission generating wizard?

Is it related to Warfare in any way?

I would check but I am at work right now.

Is it a mission generating wizard?

If you want to name it that way, yes.

This is nothing new and in Arma 1, plus its documented fully in the manual (unless you didn't get DVD box version and no manual sent to you).

That said, it is very nice for quick setups and random SP play, good for SP players for sure.

I seriously didn't know that. I made everything from scratch since OPF so I never came across this.

Heh, the wizard was in OPFP and then ArmA. It is quite handy for creating a quick mission. I had forgotten about the SP version, but used the MP one on many occasions. Great way to toss up a quick flag match or what have you.

It is documented in the manual - I wouldn't go so far as saying it is "fully" documented.

For instance how do you close the edit waypoints dialogue box. I can right click on the waypoint, change the waypoint type, behaviour etc... but I can't close the dialogue - the same applies to Arma!

I have given up hoping for an answer to this question as no one seems to know.

Heh, the wizard was in OPFP and then ArmA. It is quite handy for creating a quick mission.

I believe the wizard was introduced in Operation Flashpoint: Elite and then carried over to ArmA 1 and so on.

Maybe I am imagining things but... wasn't the Wizard always in the game?!? I've never even touched OFP:Elite. I'm quite sure there was a Wizard before Armed Assault though.
