Description.ext more then only music?
« on: 08 Aug 2003, 16:18:36 »
Hi all,

Okay, I know that I can use the description.ext for putting my music in the mission. But I see alot of people doing alot more in there, so i was wandering, can anyone tell what else I can do in there and show/tutorial how to do that?

Thanks in advance.

You can do LOADS of stuff in description.ext.    There are a couple of tutes in the Ed Depot, probably under the File Formats sub-category.     Amongst other things you can

gear selection in Briefing
defining identities
changing text on mission loading
gold stars in debriefing
take away player's map, compass etc
respawn options in MP
organise campaigns

The Tutorial Mission in Ed Depot - Tutes - Getting Started has a simple description.ext for you to copy.    It includes all the basic things.
Plenty of reviewed ArmA missions for you to play
