[nettrucker]

hey there, i got a small question related to the Intro and Outro´s in Arma 2. I was reading the Intro guide for this, all worked fine, now i tried to start a outro with the same stuff, but the outro just stays black if i exec it. thanks in advance

Hi Coffeecat
welcome to the forum. It seems that the end trigger is not been activated. have you placed an end trigger in the outro?

You need to have end trigger in your outro scene. Place a trigger and in the condition field type end.

end=true;
Player cameraEffect ["terminate","back"]
camDestroy _camera
Exit;

This should be at the end of your camera script. You must activate the end trigger first before exiting the script, activating the end trigger in your outro scenario, before you destroy the camera and exit, If the end trigger is missing the screen stays black until doomsday come.
kind regards

I really dont know what to tell you, I mean I can tell you where your profiles, and your usersaved missions and what not are,
but as far as transferring, missions or progress if not saved, obviously cannot be transferred. it could be a steam
game issue something I dont know about as I only own the DVD version of the game Arma2.

Hope that helps.

I managed to get some help and fix the problem; I ended up having to go into the OA profile files and put my progress in manually. Not sure why I had to do that when everything seemed to transfer automatically for all my friends, but at least it works now. Thanks anyway.

get yourself Mr. murrays editing guide. It's written for Armed Assault but 99% of the stuff is still valid also for Arma.
Kind regards

Shouldn't Apache and Abrams gunners have FLIR? I've been pressing the Optics Mode key (delete) while looking at the normal scope, but nothing ever happens. In fact, I have only ever gotten the Optics Mode button to do anything with a nightvision scope.

And how do you tell which weapons have flashlights and lasers? The default L button does seem to freaking work with the flashlight, and even the ; key I replaced it with is finnicky.

@ Gunter. I think that may be the problem. The co-op missions I play on MP servers have mission objectives but not specific waypoints as far as I can tell. I play user generated missions on [-44-] Clan co-op server. I assume that if the writers of the missions don't script in waypoints then there is no way the AI are going to move. So it is a case of be Squad Leader or you are on your own. Thank you very much for your replies and help mate

Use the latest beta patch for OA and you don't need the DVD in the drive.
It won't alter the ufficial patch and you can launch it from the beta exe.

Once you have a static weapon or tripod in a bag and on your bag, how the hell do you deploy it? My only option is drop.

And has anyone managed to run CO with both beta patches and mods?
