Releasing my mission files for people to inspect/learn from

My first mission, which is pretty damn good I think, is 100% complete now minus voice-overs.

I've made this "Editor's Version" of it to post on here and make available to anyone who wants it. You are free to inspect, dissect, rip apart and put it back together. Do whatever you want with it... except call it your own :p

I'm hoping this will help some people somehow, since I don't think there are really any ArmA 2 "sample missions" to download and see how it works and is all put together.

Who knows, this might not accomplish much more than tutorials/explanations, but for someone it might.

Nice effort mate. Make sure to release it at OFPEC too! :)

Thnx for this, just having a browse now. Hope you ready for some questions.

Your init file states: execVM "briefing.sqf";

I have been using: nul=[] execVM "briefing.sqf";

Can you explain the difference, not sure what nul=[] means, copied it from another file.

"nul =" means youre saving the script handle to the nul variable (i usually use that for trash)

"[]" means you're passing it an empty array

Both things are required in the editor, but in a script file they aren't, so usually they are omited.

Reomeved from missions, all seems fine, thnx for explanation.

What about a PvP version? :)

The locality issues are killing me...

It's an SP mission, there is no PvP version >.> Maybe a coop version later. But yea that won't do a few things right if you tried to play it online. Some files called in the init wont run right, (clients wont be placed in the boat).

PS. Your signature misspells his name! Unless it's meant to be yours >.>

Yeah, I meant an actual PvP mission that shows how to properly make stuff for PvP.
