Community Need: Universal Website for resources.

[Victor]

I remember when all I needed was: OFP.info for Addons. Ofpec.com for editing help. And the official forums for community "know how".

Now it seems as if everything is scattered everywhere.

Ofpec has no "Arma" section, the tutorials are all outdated, and 1/2 the code in those tutorials don't work (+ many are poorly translated into english).

ArmedAssault.info doesn't host addons/maps/missions/wallpapers.

Bis's official forums have addons scattered everywhere in different posts in different threads, all linking to websites no one has been to before..

If this community is to grow, I think we need these united resources once again.. Otherwise, the modding community that made OFP so great will fall apart quicker than you can say "Damn, 1 is down".

Correct me if I'm wrong.. but I think something has to happen soon.. We can't have 1000 websites for addon makers to upload their addons. Most people will not search those 1000 websites for any ol' addon. Thus, in summation, the community won't thrive as it once did.

For tutorials we have the biki, as soon as some more people contribute there...

armed-assault.de is hosting every addon, armedassault.eu also...

Biki eh? I will check it out (link?). Hopefully most, if not all addon makers will. I'd hate to see the community segregated to dozens of websites.Does Biki locate other addons from other websites and mirror them? Or just what users upload?

Armedassault.eu... their download section contains: Missions (0), Movies (18), Other (1) <- Just a press kit, and Patches (0). First off, there has been a patch out, actually more than one if you include server patches. Their downloads section lacks an area for addons. And by now there aught to be a few missions out there with the 1000s of people playing... As far as I&#39;m concerned.. besides their news, I don&#39;t find the website that appealing.

Ofpec said they would create an ArmA section a few months ago.. seems that the spokesperson was wrong -- I&#39;ll check out this &#39;biki&#39;.

Edit: What about the newer things: Video Tutorials (I&#39;ve seen a couple). Movie Making Guides, Pamplets, Paperbacks, Books, Misc programs: Kegetys stuff, Language changer.. Theres dozens of servers hosting this stuff, but unless you read it in a thread the moment it was put on (before the thread died), you may never know it existed.

Am I missing something or...?

We&#39;re trying to host as much as we can over at Total Armed Assault Don&#39;t have many missions though, but we have quite a few add ons now.

Hello,

As the community (for Arma) grows, many websites will come and go and eventually will settle down, so you will know where to go.

In the meantime there are quite a few decent sites out there with various missions/addons, and like most site, will mirror eachother for content.

So dont fret too much.

We are just going through the same growing process as OFP did.

The chaff will soon be sorted from the wheat.

Google can also be your friend for locating stuff.

ArmedAssault.info doesn&#39;t host addons/maps/missions/wallpapers.

Yes we do, we also host the more &#39;special&#39; missions, not all of them?
