BAS f

Yep - you don't have to use ACE at all - there are mission.sqm files for vanilla ArmA, ACE and FDF.

Just wanted to say a big thank you.

This tool is really useful for me as a novice mission maker.

Thank you very much for all your hard work.

Yes. It will be called F2 and you can expect to see a first release in July 2009.

Whilst the team works on it, it would be useful to hear from anyone who has suggestions / requests. We may not be able to accomodate them in the first release, but like BAS f the plan for F2 is for development to be ongoing.

Good to see this will be continued. Hopefully mission designers notice that...

Great to hear of a F2 release

Suggestion / Question:
As a lot of people are running with digital-bought german copies with english language-mod - but you still get german text with the mission condition/AI skill selectors. Is there any way to force the stringtable to use the english lines? If not, that would be a nice feature for F2

Off the top of my head, I can't think of a dynamic way to do that - even if we could detect the presence of the language mod, stringtable.csv is never explicitly called by init.sqf or description.ext. The game simply knows its official language, and draws string values from stringtable.csv automatically.

The only thing I can suggest is that mission makers writing for non/semi-public servers where a lot of players are in this situation manually edit out the whole German column from stringtable.csv. The game should then automatically use the English strings (column #1).

Roger that Fer - I'll make a pure-english stringtable one of the days then. Would you like a copy of it?
