ArmA 2 and ArmA 2: Operation Arrowhead v2 - Games

Maybe the server needs you to have certain mods installed? I know Zozamex's server needs our modpack, or else it kicks you.

seems that every single server uses mods is there any way to find out wich mods it uses and where i can download them?

It should give a short description of the mod name when you click once on the server. Like "@ACE; @duerpn" You can always google.

Are there any decent sci-fi mods out for ArmA 2/OA? I liked the Aliens mod from ArmA 1, and it seems like the engine would lend itself well to dropships and space marines.

how do i write to other people on the server?

[QUOTE=Grim2o0o;30880338]Sorry if I can't totally understand your question, I can't brain at this time of the hour. But to clarify a few things for people who have ArmA 2 and not OA on Steam. Combined Operations is when you have both ArmA 2 and OA installed, which means, aslong as you have the two games installed, you'll be able to run Combined Operations one way or the other. When it comes to Steam, if you have ArmA 2 and Operation Arrowhead installed, and launch Operation Arrowhead, you get the option to "Start ArmA II: Combined Operations", which then ofcourse, starts CO, which is ArmA 2 and OA in one.[/QUOTE] What I really wanted to know more of is, do I need both to be installed to play on most servers, or can I just run OA alone and be fine. Or does having both installed have a lot more advantages?

On the missions where you can take over land and the commander can build structures so you can buy stuff, how do you get a jet factory or one to show up in the buy menu and how can you get a UAV in it?

Oh goddamnit, installing ArmA2 on steam and a get a bad serial on installation error wtf.

Damnit, I can't seem to find a way to bring the HuntIR Screen up, I used to know how but I've forgotten damnit.

I'm tempted to get OA on the Steam sale, but my main problem is that I already have Arma 2 - non-Steam, and it won't let me add it to Steam. I don't want to get Combined Ops, either, because then i'd technically be rebuying a game I already have (albeit for a reduced price).

[QUOTE=RayvenQ;30882023]Damnit, I can't seem to find a way to bring the HuntIR Screen up, I used to know how but I've forgotten damnit.[/QUOTE] Tried Windows Key?

[QUOTE=RayvenQ;30877676]I'm guessing you didn't use modfolders?[/QUOTE] What I've had problems with is ACE, yet it's installed in its own seperate folder called @ACE along with other ACE based mods in their own folders (@ACEX, @ACEX_RU, @ACEX_USNavy just to name a few). [editline]a[/editline] [QUOTE=Tark;30877706]You disable them from the modlaunch. If that's not how you're enabling them, then how the fuck are you?[/QUOTE] [del]I know very little about ARMA 2 modding, but I am using the Six Updater, if that's what you're refering to, so how do I disable mods from there if you are?[/del] [editline]a[/editline] Nevermind, I found it. Now I have yet to find out if I can actually join a server now.

So any games tonight?

[QUOTE=Tark;30881819]holy shit that's nearly 2 fucking gigabytes did you not compress it or are you seriously using that many addons[/QUOTE] Funny thing is ACE and SFP are the biggest mods in it, and we compressed it, otherwise it would be round 3-4 gigs. :v: But yeah as noted, sorry about your precious bandwidth and memory. It's around 20-23 mods in total of all packs, and most of them are mods that are needed for other mods, like Isla Duala and Lingor. Also taught Hunterdnrc ACE, SMK and ACRE. We ended up playing around with the wounding system and killing space aliens. He also fell off a great height twice, got shot by an alien cannon once aswell as being shot by our RPGs. He's one tough Marine. [QUOTE=RikohZX;30882077]I'm tempted to get OA on the Steam sale, but my main problem is that I already have Arma 2 - non-Steam, and it won't let me add it to Steam.

Who was in that tank with me when we were playing yesterday? We fucking drove in the middle of a hostile-filled town, blew up like 5 different vehicles, killed a shitton of infantry and then our tank got blown up so we were stuck lying on the ground bleeding to death. I had like 35 or something kills when we got blown up.

[QUOTE=Tark;30883526]Why are you putting ACE in with the rest of it, that's a terrible idea. What about updates?[/QUOTE] We never thought that far, and that's why we feel silly. But we're planning on getting an SVN so that it makes it all a little bit easier. Sorry for the inconvenience. [editline]4th July 2011[/editline] Hey, news flash, Part One is gonna sink in file size because we're gonna switch to Six Updater for ACE. [img]http://cdn.fpcontent.net/fp/emoot/toot.gif[/img]

Six Updater is a godsend, without it no one would play anything. There's just too many mods, but with that it's only a few clicks and done deal, no searching, no updating, it's all automatic

New part one. [url=http://arma.bullace.net/Arma2OAmods.7z]Part 1: Here[/url] (903MB) We just removed ACE from it.

How many swedes play this game anyway? I don't feel like blowing 20€ on a game I won't play just because I have no-one to play with :(

[QUOTE=JerryK;30893089]is that everything needed to play on the FP server?[/QUOTE] That isn't for the FP server, that's for Zozamex's server, it's heavy modded you see.

Also, can two people play arma 2 together if one of them have the F2P game, and one of them have the full one?
