ArmA 2 Message Board  

This game uses the same scripting as Armed Assaualt and Operation Flashpoint, which are ARMA's former games. I went into more detail here :Link. If That doesn't help, then go try:forums.bistudio.com. This is the Developer's forum. There are lots of tutorials to help accomplish this and many other things

While doing some additional research, for this game, I found this:Link. It does the following for single player.
AuraVision
Ghost Mode
God Mode
Unlimited ammo
the ability to spawn anything in your addons...
teleport
h.a.l.o.
full music player with custom music
hitch anything

You do have to have some knowledge on how to add addons to your game files, in order for this to work. This is a mod file, not a cheat file, and I take no credit for this file. Hope it helps!

Thanks, all of this could come in useful

I just noticed that the God-Mode from the Lost Key addon doesn't work in the Scenarios, but does so in custom missions. But trying a HALO jump improperly still kills you even if God Mode is on.

EDIT: Look at this thread:

If you want to use the addon in the various campaign missions.

Hey TPEK,

Could you explain how to Unpack the PBO for the event handlers and Repack the PBO after the changes are made?

From my understanding the mod does not work straight from the Addons like the Debug console due to a problem with the version which needs to be fixed in the Config file?

Not sure what tools to use and where the Config file is.

Also, in regards to using Lost Key II in the campaign, where are the campaign files to edit? Do you need to unpack the pbo files as well?

Thanks man

It would seem there is no longer a need to unpack and repack the XEH file, just head over to :
www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=6231

And get the mod and install it (but only after making sure you don't have the XEH already installed).

As for the campaign, I tried using the Lost Key 2 God mode cheat in the scenarios and it still didn't work, even after the change, so I'm not sure it's really worth to do it. (You can always go to the debug console by hitting ESC and then ENTER, and there in the bottom line typing "player allowDamage false" and hitting the 'exec' button to the right, in order to get God Mode for the currently selected player.)

As for unpacking and repacking, look at this tool:
www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=1434

It is capable of both unpacking and repacking PBOs.

Thanks Tpek,

Hey I just encountered a weird thing here.
I'm at the mission Delaying the Bear, and as the Team Leader when I drop my M4 Holo to try to swap with my other team members the Lost Key 2 icon appears!... So now without doing any other repacking other than the basic Extended Handler I have Lost Key 2 in campaign mode...
If i knew how to take a screen print I'd show you..

Could you confirm for me that this works for you in the campaign too?

again the steps are:

1) Install the Lost Key 2 as per Armaholic instructions
2) As Cooper (team leader) drop your M4 in gear
3) Roll mouse to see if icon for Lost Key appears
4) If not select M9 silenced and try again.

I've also activated the 'player allowdamage false' and

player addEventHandler ["fired",{(_this select 0) setvehicleammo 1}];player addeventhandler ["hit", {_this select 0 setdamage 0}];player addeventhandler ["dammaged", {_this select 0 setdamage 0}];player SetCaptive True

Let me know if you can replicate it and not just my fluke.

I've noticed the performance of the game runs more stable as well with higher FPS?? what on earth is going on?
