Yoma has updated his excellent Addon Synchroniser Tool on the BI Forums. For installation information, see below!
VS2005 deceided that the certificate I made was expired, it now has one that should only expire in 2099. Solution is simple and silly: remove via add/remove programs, download the rar from my site and reinstall. Server setting will be kept, you just have to tell it where your modfolders dir and arma location is. I know, it's a bitch and I hate it as much as you do. Btw I added an "about" button so people can tell which version they are using. The coming month or 2 will be very busy for me so I don't expect to do much updates in the near future.
Installation: 1. Click "update" in the program and it will update itself to the latest version. 2. Download from Yoma's website!

Thanks to UNN for the bug report! Added: you can make XEH init event handlers execute when players respawn by using an inner XEH class and the "onRespawn" boolean property.

Spooner has updated his SPON Map script to version 3.0 and released it in the BIS Forums. This pack of scripts will allow you to draw on the ingame map while playing. Have fun becoming the next Picasso !
Map that allows players to make freehand drawings, as well as place markers in a more manageable/intuitive way. The choice of exactly who to send this information to is extended from the "vanilla" ArmA options.
Although these scripts have been reaonably tested in SP, they have not yet been thoroughly tested in MP. Thus, it is very likely that there are still bugs when using SPON Map in MP games.

The famous addonmaker Kegetys has released version 1.0 of ArmAlib on his website. A bit similar to fwatch, it adds new scripting capabilities to the game which allow, for example SQLite database access.
It works on ArmA v1.14 client and Windows dedicated server. Linux dedicated is not supported. The documentation is a bit poor at the moment because writing it is rather annoying but hopefully you can figure it all out. Some sample missions are included.
New features that it allows are: - Access to two SQLite databases with SQL syntax (for saving and loading data) - HTTP GET support to retrieve data from the web - Windows clipboard access (set and get string) - Setting mouse cursor position (same as ArmA function 'setMousePosition' which does not work) - Retrieving mouse information, including cursor position, "relative" positions and button states - Setting TrackIR X,Y,Z and roll axis freedom for "6DOF" support - Retrieving the current viewdistance, camera X/Y FOV, current screen resolution and arma command line - Night vision goggles effect detection - 'ScriptLink' feature, which allows real time communication with external applications using a Windows named pipe - Debug output
