About F2
The F2 Mission Development Framework (F2) is the successor to the popular BAS f mission development framework for ArmA (discussed in this thread). The new framework contains many of the features you know from BAS f, updated to work with ArmA 2, plus some new components which take advantage of the new game's special features.
- Added Disable Saving and Auto Saving component. - Removed readme file for Norrin's Revive Respawn component (now available as download from manual wiki). - Removed rogue setGroupID and HC-related commands from Init lines of units in ShackTactical Platoons. - Updated manual: Various changes (EN and RU versions).

In Germany, the development was initially under the name Hunter 90, the first deliveries were made under the name of the Eurofighter 2000, is the current name, the year of 2000 no longer run. In Austria and Germany, the plane bears the name of the Eurofighter, but we do.
Charon has released an ArmA2 version of his useful mission editing TroopMon utility on the BI Forums.
Description: TroopMon 2 is a GUI console for Arma2 that is designed to help mission makers to precisely monitor the combat behaviour of the placed units in their missions. Lost, inactive or ineffective combatants are easily identified to raise the quality of a mission and achieve mission objectives with a minimal troopcount. Missions with uncertainty about the location of the involved units are a thing of the past. .... Many people still know TroopMon1 from the Arma1 times. Initially i just wanted to make it compatible with Arma2, but i decided to enhance its functionality and optimize the code. It now contains tons of new helpful functions to effectively debug missions. Hope it helps you guys design your missions.
W0lle has released an Armed Civilians addon on the BI Forums.
For one of my crappy missions I needed some armed civilians and the result is this tiny addon. I've taken all the male civilians (except the Priest and Pilot) and gave them different weapons to fight. They are armed with: AKM, AKMS, AK-74, AK-74/GP-25, PKM, RPK, RPG, Strela, SVD, Saiga, M16A2 and MP5A5. Each unit has 4 magazines (the Policemen carry also an M9 with 4 Magazines). In total that adds 360 different units to your editor. You can find the units in Independent -> Civilians -> Armed Civilians.
There's been a release over at our homepage: bwmod.armedassault.info. It includes German infantry, the TPz Fuchs 1A6 as well as a few weapons and objects (flags, ammo caches)
Following our previous poll, here is a try at a different way to present Missions on our site. We will try to post a weekly report of missions we have gathered on our .ftp and let you have the whole show in one new. Of course, it's a test and we are waiting for your suggestions and feedback.
