Re: Question concerning spectator scripts

How about using old FA Arma 2 missions that have spectator scripts baked in?

Re: Question concerning spectator scripts

There have been addon-based spectator scripts in the past, so you don't have to bake them into the mission. Doesn't ACE2 have a PBO'd spectator script?

Re: [Sun] 13 Sep (Where did that come from?)

I can be mean about Gamey Mission because I wrote most of it, and comrade Eagle Eye was coerced into helping. So ... For those comrades that made it through all the missions, last night offered a bit of a master-class in how to do mission making right ... and wrong. Comrade darckChozo nailed the sh...

Re: fa3_cz61_altistan_d1p2

I support all of Ferrard Carson's points. This was a good mission, but I would prefer to see it chopped into 2 missions; don't worry if one is a 60 minute mission with two objectives, and the other is a 30 minute affair concerned with the hill-top base. Having a spread of long and short coop mission...

Two armed groups must negotiate a swap of ammo trucks before working together (or not) to steal a truck from an AAF base. Casualties from any double-cross during the first part of the mission return as base guards. Think: Dark Business with inanimate objects and a second chance for guests that die e...

Re: ArmA 3's backstory - Geopolitics, Ho!

Predicting the future and devising a credible explanation for that map are two different tasks. Don't be too quick to write off The next 100 Years for the bonkers middle bit, because what it has to say about sea lanes and demographics is interesting. Worth a read, albeit for the themes not the detai...

Re: Mission ideas?

There was some discussion in the Skype chat about giving COs a more non-linear experience, though that may require a base-driven approach. "Here are a bunch of vehicles to choose from, and here are your crew, where you choose to place them is up to you". I think I understand the attraction of this,...
