I'm not sure if this has been posted before but here is my question. I pretty much know how to link markers to units but the problem is that I only see it on the map. If theres a script that will let you see it without the map it would be awesome.

I'm playing Arma II Free and It's pretty good game, but there are not enough servers to play on, when I click Multiplayer. Most of them are empty or unknown game mode. So my question is, can I play on Arma II servers using Arma II Free. If yes, then please, explain me, how?

I have just installed ArmA 2 and Operation Arrowhead. To get online it says download the latest patch, version 1.62. So I download it, and go to extract it and it says I need version 1.11 first. I am a bit confused as I thought 1.62 would include everything from previous patches?! I also tried to play DayZ however I cannot play it until I am up-to-date with the latest patches.

Also, is there a difference between the patches I am talking about, and the BETA patch? I have done lots of research however keep going round in circles and would really appreciate some help! I am unsure of which patches to download, and my internet speed is so slow that I only want to download what I need! :yay:

Thanks in advance,

Any Farsi Speakers in the House? http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?154974-Any-Farsi-Speakers-in-the-House&goto=newpost Tue, 14 May 2013 16:00:38 GMT Farsi translated + Farsi ->...]]> I'm looking for someone who is at least proficient if not fluent in Farsi to:

1. double check some of my English -> Farsi translated + Farsi -> Latin Alphabet transcripted words and phrases that I'm intending to use in a new mission(s). For example:

Quote:
Think I found my transcription tool (actually not transliteration like I was calling it)
http://mylanguages.org/farsi_romanization.php

This gives:

وفادار = wfadar

Cleaning that up to insert the implicit vowels I get:

"Wefadar"

So I guess I wasn't too far off.

For a name for the player group I think I'm gonna go with "Faithful Lions" = شير وفادار = Sheyr_Wefadar

Then for each mission, I'll just use English words/phrases that have some salience within Sunni Islam else Afghan history, translate them to Farsi, then transcript the Farsi into Latin alphabet, for example:

Recompense the unfaithful = غرامت بيوفا = gheramet ayen gherd werzey

That particular phrase is a bit longish, so I'll try to do shorter stuff, but that is the basic idea to follow at this point.
I don't think there will be very much help I'll need, only a couple words or phrases in mission 1, then perhaps a couple in mission 2, etc. Basically, about 5 minutes for a competent reader/speaker of Farsi, but infinite for me! :p

2. It is beyond my current aspirations, but if someone who speaks Farsi with an appropriate accent was keen to do it, I'd be interested to explore adding some voice acting to the mission(s) too.

-=-=-Additional Info Below-=-=-

I'm beginning to make my 1st mission in what I hope will be a multi-mission series (at least 3 but maybe lots if I keep up the steam).

Missions will be set in Takistan in late 1970s or 1980s.

Required addons planned at this point:

ACE
ACE_X
ACE_RU
ACE_USNAVY
CBA_(all)
MCC (maybe, depending on if I cannot figure out how to remove it as a dependency for playing it; but I plan to make the mission with MCC running; mainly I just want to explore what MCC can do for me, but the idea of the ease is appealing too)

_Possibly_
CWR2

Variable at CiA has convinced me that a mission/series based off of Mujahideen versus Soviet invasion of Afghanistan (and obviously set in Takistan and/or other maps like Aliabad, Hazar Kot, Zargabad) is a winner concept, so I'm gonna run with that.

There are some nice 1980's weapons in CWR2, plus the soldier uniforms and such, so as long as CWR2 will play nice with the ACE package I'd like to do it that way. I don't think I have ever run ACE with CWR2 at the same time, so I'm not sure if it is a good idea or not. ]]> Anthropoid http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?154974-Any-Farsi-Speakers-in-the-House Next life in map editor http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?154922-Next-life-in-map-editor&goto=newpost Mon, 13 May 2013 15:17:27 GMT When i made some mission in map editor with many bluefor (play able) charakter, i can start play for everyone, but when i died i become a bird and...

I heard that Bystrica is a part of the Chernarus. I am pretty interested in Chernarus, impressed with the detail and the story behind it, and the projects started after it, that's why I like ArmA so much. The Green Sea Expansion Project was incredible for me.

Looking at this map, and comparing it with this Bystrica map:

I think Bystrica may be located in west of Kirovograd, but where is Bukavina?

I am curious about their locations, and I would like to see all the Chernarus "modelled" some day. :) ]]> Antifiriz http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?154879-Where-is-Bystrica-and-Bukovina Arma 2 CD Keys (Not what you think) http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?154849-Arma-2-CD-Keys-(Not-what-you-think)&goto=newpost Sun, 12 May 2013 02:09:17 GMT I was wondering if me and my friend were going to share a cd key since he got his banned would it get global banned because BE thought it was a...

My main OS is on SSD which is completely full.

I need a temporary fix until I upgrade the SSD, so in the meantime, I'd like to move the Arma2 and Arma3 profile folders which are in the "My Documents" to either D or C drive.
I have lots of pbo files in them for editing, therefore, the 60GB SSD is completely full now, with 50 GB going to the Win7 OS and updates that come rolling along.

Does anybody know the answer or perhaps have an even better solution until I make a physical SSD upgrade?

Thanks!

First, I am trying to return the normal HUD/Crosshair settings. I know I can edit the userconfigs to change these, however the comments for every item but these two have the on off states; these two I want to change tell me to look on the wiki, and the wiki doesn't give the parameters either.

While looking for these missing parameters, I found the page talking about Clippi; however, I have no such program in my @ACE folder. There isn't even a /Clippi folder or file. Every link I've googled to download it, just takes me to the crappy ACE wiki telling me how to use this non-existent program to configure ACE.

I just want my damn crosshair and HUD back to normal. Why the hell did they have to make this so frustratingly stupid? ]]> TheCoolSideofthePillow http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?154583-Need-Answers-about-ACE-Settings
