How do you use RTE in multiplayer mode (if you can)?

Can you send me your %APPDATA%\RTE Capture\Options.ini and Profile.xml?

Du hast CBA nicht installiert.
Und benutze bitte JayArmA2Lib

Whenever I try and create a profile the program just becomes unresponsive. A shame, this looked cool. (Running Win 7 Ultimate 54 Bit, ATI Radeon 4870, Intel Q6600)

Any help would be appreciated!

Hy habe volgendes problem usw. habe Arma 2 und Arma OA 1.57 instaliert usw. wenn icgh jetzt RTEditor instaliere und starten will kommt volgende fehler meldung

Never mind the previous problem, I created a profile. But then I came to the same problem the others are experiencing. I cannot export cause the monitor status is Inactive.

I have Arma2 Combined Ops, with @CBA. After installing RTE, and running Arma from it, I get the following message: Addon Extended Event Handlers requires Alice2 Module, which means that its aint loading my @CBA. Also If it aint loading CBA it aint loading the other mods either.

I´ve installed RTEditor via mod folders and ran through -mod, but then I cannot export anything, since the Arma2 wasnt loaded via RTE Capture launch feature.

Is there a work around, a launch config file where I can also load in other @Mods?

Was funktioniert denn nicht?
Bei mir komme ich in den RTE und kann auch Einheiten platzieren.
Funktioniert mit 1.55 und Build 75666

Hy

Habe mal eine frage , seit Patch 1.55 für Arma 2 OA rausgekommen ist kann ich mit dem RTE 1.56 nicht mehr editieren nix geht mehr .Hast du eine ahnung was es sein kann .Mit der 1.54 ging alles noch ?

Hallo Xeno!

Ich bin Mitglied der gibthis.com-community und wir planen ein realitätsnahes Mod für ArmA 2 zu entwickeln und suchen dafür noch Scripter.

Hättest Du Interesse an einem solchen Projekt mitzuwirken?

Wir würden uns über eine kurze Stellungnahme von Dir zu diesem Thema sehr freuen!

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Those blur only occurred when I was opening the RTE to fast. But this is not possible more with the last update.
Does it happen all the time?
Does it happens too if you run it from a trigger?
>> [] spawn ION_RTE_pStartRTE

Hello,
I post on your site because since the update I have big problem.
When I set off RTE image become very blurry. I put a link to show you.
Then level backups of project rd, when I save the work and that I reload, there is only 1 man on and the rest is gone: (
you have an idea?

thank you in advance for your help.

Good job :)

That problem can be caused by missing write rights.
From Windows Vista up, programs aren't allowed to write in the program files.
But that's a place for addons and RTE Capture tries it.
To avoid this problem tell RTE Capture a place where it can write, then manual copy the files into the a2 folder.

Jonas thank you pout your answer.

I have followed you're advice (use v5 online installer) I have no error but I still do not have the addon @ RTEditor in:
C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Steam \ SteamApps \ common \ ArmA 2
The addon JayArma2lib & CBA are checked and added to the shortcut in the profile no worries on that side either.
I added the folder @ RTEditor myself but as it is empty, the prog does not see it.

Sorry I'm new to all these questions.

thank you in advance

Here is how I got it to work again:
- I have jayArma2Lib installed
- In RTE Capture my profile points to arma2oa.exe and I have jayArma2Lib in the command line of course but I also have RTE Capture DLL active
- I start the game via RTE Capture
- In game start RTE which takes a couple of seconds to load. The status is not connected untill you are in RTE
- Then via projects I can save and load again

Export is currently broken.
This happens since the module wasn't reworked but the rest has changed.
It is easy to release a version which fixed module where you can save the xml-file, but you won't have any visual of the file.

Glad you took the time to update RTECapture once more,

unfortunatelly, this release breaks the program for me. I cannot export anything when running RTECapture, and ArmA2: Combined Operations. The program is connected, though (through JayArma2Lib). I run CBA, of course.

Additionally, when I load a XML file and switch from the tree view (looking perfectly normal) to the SQF tab, the result is scrambled, very short and makes no sense anymore.

@Mast: This allows a work-around for it.

@Lionel: You need to install CBA since it is the replacement for XEH.

Hello,
I contact you because I've installed your tool, except that I have some worries.
I installed the V5 online, set up my file @ RTEditor in"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\arma 2\@RTEditor", installed Extented_EventHandlers & jayarma2lib, created the profile Arma2, but when I run it it asks me "Extented_EventHandlers wants version 1.8 of the application"

Help me please.

Sorry i use google translator.

I want to use RTE Capture with Operation Arrowhead/Combined Operations but it doesn't work. In RTE Capture setup, I see "arma2.exe" but when I try to change it to "arma2oa.exe", I get a error message. Is there a fix in the works?

These are very helpful and informative articles. I have a much better understanding of how and when an FSM might come in handy. Thank you!

I followed your instructions after these fellows described their problem. To no avail. Yes, the RTE capture box was checked.
I am trying to run ArmaII and have the path correct etc.

The potential of this project is great if only we could save our work. Is there a fix??

yes i do agree RTEcapture is the fastest way to launch arma2 when we compare with six updater and for me an avid user of RTE its a great tool to load/save my ideas keep up the good work jonas

regards N.G

With -profiles option you get an error each time you access a squad.xml with a squadlogo in Multiplayer.

unless i misunderstood, the @ $ issue is irrelevent. @ is used only in script, and the engine looks for it's $ equivalent in the csv

Hi Jonas

On Windows 7 the tool just close without a comment and on xp i get an error and will be asked to send it to microsoft.

Any idea ?

Probably yes, but I haven't tested it.

Thank you very much for the above information! Very helpful, just one thing that confuses me a little. Can you add includes (ex. #include "someNameOfDocument.sqf") to an xml file? Thanks again!

You state the following:
/************************************/
The last script value is _out, so if someone someone will call KRON_StrUpper, it will return _out:

1.
_lower = ["AbCdEfG"] call KRON_StrUpper;

_lower will contain "abcdefg".
/************************************/

Am I misunderstanding the code in the "KRON_StrUpper" function? I'd expect to get "ABCDEFG" as a return value...?!

A twist on this is if you've used the -profile=... startup parameter when launching ArmA 2. In that case, -mod=DoesntExist will cause ArmA II to look for addons in the folder Users\%USERNAME%\DoesntExist\addons below the indicated -profile path. (%USERNAME% is the name of your Windows user)

Example: let's say your Windows username is "johndoe" and you launch ArmA II with

"-profile=D:\Games\ArmA 2" -mod=DoesntExist

This will make ArmA II look for addons in

D:\Games\ArmA 2\Users\johndoe\DoesntExist\addons

I think that such tutorials exists about the SQF format.
But if none exists, I may write one.

Excellent tutorial - I had no idea about FSM, thank you for this thorough explanation. Will you or have you done the same for the .SQF file format?

Oh sorry never mind my post found the solution by coincidence.
I totally love RTE

one question regarding the use of RTE in multiplayer,

we on 6thSense are using a mission-generator. But to place specific units or objects we are using the rte. So my question is how can i re-import stuff in order to shorten the preparation time or enable a re-playable mission.
In Arma 1 you had to have Armalib afaik. Is it even possible in ArmA2?

If somebody has an answer, please let me know

If you're talking about Armed Assault, simple use ArmAlib and keep RTE Capture in the background.

If you use ArmA 2 you need to be more descriptive about your problem.

when i try to get arma up it says its not there ive tried everthing i cant get to run it

Fixed the links

If you try to view the pictures in full size, the file cannot be found. :(

WIP ;)

Bravo!

Your style is easy to understand and good to read. Great!
What is missing a bit is more details about the possibilities and benefits of FSM and its visual editor.
Maybe a good topic for a follow-up. :)

Can confirm this. That way seems to be buggy.

To check if RTE has found RTE Capture:
On the top right in RTE will be a "projects" button. If this one is missing, then there is no connection to RTE Capture.

RTE has to be closed when you activate monitoring.

But since activate monitoring doesn't work at the moment:
Create a profile inside RTE Capture (Options->Profile). Make sure that "Use RTE Capture DLL" is checked.
Then use this profile to run ArmA. RTE Capture will then try to establish the connection itself.

Same problem with saving.

I am getting frustrated over quite a simple thing...How do I simply save my mission? I have RTE Capture open. I activate monitoring. I go back into Arma 2, and export it, but in Arma2 it just says "RTE Capture not open" or something.

Great effort and so useful!

good post!
