Differences

This shows you the differences between two versions of the page.

-====== Misc Stuff ======
-Area where all misc stuff is placed, before proper place can be found them (if any).
-====== Default Installation Files ======
-  * [[arma:default_files|Default files]]
-Default installation files from your DVD.
-====== User Interface ======
-When using desktop and ArmA resolution of 1024x768 and your user interface image files are 1280x1024 you'll encounter some memory errors and ArmA will crash.
-Here is example images in question:
-<code cpp>
-class RscDisplayLoadMission : RscStandardDisplay
-{
-	class controlsBackground
-	{
-		class LoadingPic : RscPicture
-		{
-			text = "\VTE_objects\UI\VTE_loading-01.pac";
-			colortext[] = {1, 1, 1, 1};
-		};
-	};
-};
-</code>
-To fix this problem, use image resolution 1024 x 1024 (or other power of two resolution I believe).
-====== Aircraft Scripts ======
-This section describes some basic things about addon aircraft scripts.
-This is practical example of setting up F4 Phantom aircraft addon from OFP conversion into ArmA compatible environment.
-First we have exhaust smoke script in OFP like this:
-<code cpp>
-; We know who we are
-_plane = _this select 0;
-#SmokeLoop
-; If we're dead, we can stop smoking
-?(!alive _plane) : goto "Exit";
-~0.01;
-?(speed _plane < 100) : goto "SmokeLoop";
-_alpha = 0.16 * ((speed _plane / 900));
-?(_alpha > .16): _alpha =.16;
-drop ["\ca\data\cl_basic", "", "Billboard", 1, 10, [0,-5,.1], [5-random 10, 5-random 10, 5-random 10], 0, 10, 1, 1, [5,15,40], [[.2,.2,.2,_alpha/10], [.2,.2,.2,_alpha], [.2,.2,.2,0]], [0,.2,1], 5, 5, "", "", _plane]
-goto "SmokeLoop";
-#Exit
-exit
-</code>
-Now we have ported the SQS script into SQF format which ArmA likes. This is how it looks when its ported:
-<code cpp>
-private ["_plane", "_s", "_alpha"];
-// We know who we are
-_plane = _this select 0;
-// Alive and with the engine on?
-while (alive _plane && isEngineOn _plane) do
-{
-	sleep 0.01;
-	_s = speed _plane;
-	if (_s > 100) then
-	{
-		_alpha = 0.16 * (_s / 900));
-		if (_alpha > 0.16) then
-		{
-			_alpha = 0.16;
-		};
-		drop ["\ca\data\cl_basic", "", "Billboard", 1, 10, [0,-5,.1], [5-random 10, 5-random 10, 5-random 10], 0, 10, 1, 1, [5,15,40], [[.2,.2,.2,_alpha/10], [.2,.2,.2,_alpha], [.2,.2,.2,0]], [0,.2,1], 5, 5, "", "", _plane];
-	};
-};
-</code>
-Next you need to run this script from your aircraft's config.cpp file. This is used with compatibility to Extended Eventhandlers (XEH) like this:
-<code cpp>
-class Extended_Engine_EventHandler
-{
-	class VTE_SomeClassName
-	{
-		vte_someclassname_smokefx = "if (_this select 1) then {_this execVM '\path\to\smokey_script.sqf'}";
-	};
-};
-</code>
-And your aircraft is ready to run this smoke script.
