=VG= SavageCDN (Inactive Duty) Posted November 29, 2012 at 05:55 PM Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 at 05:55 PM So a few guys... Wooz, Cold, Castor.. (might be more I can't remember) expressed some interest in having mission 'classes' to learn the basics of Arma mission making. I am happy to do this and we can start as soon as you want. Please post here to sign up and perhaps what you would like to learn about specifically.I will come up with some videos, documents, etc that you can all review to start, so that everyone has the same basic editor knowledge and what constitutes a mission file. Be advised you will not be cranking out Domi-clone missions right away.. Arma mission making takes time to learn properly... more so if you want to make multi-player missions.You do NOT need any coding knowledge (I am a shining example of this!!!) but after a few basic sessions we will get into scripting and how to integrate existing scripts into your missions.!download Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=VG= SavageCDN (Inactive Duty) Posted November 29, 2012 at 05:55 PM Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 at 05:55 PM We'll start with a list of 'must reads' for Arma mission-making. Yes there are many pages, but also pretty pictures!!Mr. Murray's Editing Guide - yes it's for original Arma but most stuff is the samehttp://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=4847Murdock's Arma Guide - there will be a lot of duplicate stuff between these 2 but still a good readhttp://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=13109YouTube video series:http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=16680http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=arma+2+editing&aq=fhttp://www.tacticalgamer.com/arma-mission-development/144524-arma-2-editor-tutorial-series-pclipse.htmlMore stuff here but don't worry about this just yet...http://www.veterans-gaming.com/vg-plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?15961 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

=VG= SavageCDN (Inactive Duty) Posted November 29, 2012 at 06:03 PM Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 at 06:03 PM I think I've already forgotten what that was.... so you might need to remind me :)Yeah if we do anything tomorrow or Saturday it will have to be just editor stuff like triggers, etc. I'd like to prepare a mission for training that will include a bunch of features.

suomikeizari Posted November 30, 2012 at 12:56 PM Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 at 12:56 PM Friday and Saturday is probably a no go for me for months...But the videos are really going to help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=VG= SemlerPDX Posted November 30, 2012 at 04:04 PM Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 at 04:04 PM SavageCDN =VG= LAN_WROTE ...You do NOT need any coding knowledge (I am a shining example of this!!!) but after a few basic sessions we will get into scripting and how to integrate existing scripts into your missions.I am also an example of this - I knew NOTHING about coding at all when I picked this up last year, October 2011. You can do anything you can imagine in this game through scripting - that should be passion enough for anyone to take their first steps into Arma 2 scripting. Only difference for you all is the added benefit of having people like SavageCDN, Poffadder, and myself around to answer questions as you trod along. I have internet links to nearly everything on nearly every subject - if one of us can't help, we know where to go to read about it.!2cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

=VG= SavageCDN (Inactive Duty) Posted January 21, 2013 at 08:38 PM Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 at 08:38 PM Where do you want to start? Basics like what files are usually in a mission and what the different files are for? Some editor basics like syncing triggers or creating waypoints?

=VG= Wooz2770 Posted January 21, 2013 at 09:24 PM Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 at 09:24 PM Maybe syncing triggers would be a good start:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
