OK i download some scripts from the editors depot it downloaded fine but how do i get the script in the game ???
the downloads downloaded in to a thing called WinRAR :dunno:

Thanks in advance

All I did was search for "WinRAR" on Google or Yahoo etc. and snagged a trial copy from the WinRAR website. It was easy to find.
I dont see a link to it in the tools section of the Editor's Depot.
After you extract/inzip this script place it in your ARMA other profiles missions folder.
I suggest reading a tutorial on scripts, and SQF's for ArmA from the Editors Depot here. I'm currently trying to get some old OFP scripts to run in ArmA and these tutorials help a ton.

where is the other profiles folder?
and by the way winRAR was already on my computer

What Operating System are you using?
If its Windows Vista then you look under:
Your Account/PC Name
Documents
Then look for folders called:
ARMA Other Profiles
Your profile name (I believe the default is Person or Player)
Missions
Place your script inside any mission folder that you want to use it. Then just call the script from the editor.

I go to my documents and click on Arma the there are missions saved ArmA (CFG file)
my arma profile and userSaved
I am using window professional
-
Main user profile missions are found under Documents>>Arma>>Missions>>MissionName.IslandExtension
All other user profile missions are found under Documents>>Arma Other Profiles>>UserName>>Missions>>Mission

do i put the scripts in a mission i made
-
Almost every script within the ED has an example mission. Its probably in your interest to run the example mission first by putting the mission into your missions folder and trying it out. If you're statisfied with the script then you need to move it to you mission and integrate it.
-
what does integrate meen?
-
Integrate... kinda to combine your mission with the script you downloaded.

Yes, all resources that you plan on using in your mission must be placed within the saved mission folder in your users folder.
- Sound
- Music
- Stringtable.csv
- Description.ext
- Briefing.html
- Overview.html
- Images(used by Briefing, Overview, and/or Dialogues)
- Scripts
It may be more organized to create a script folder Scripts and then place all scripts within that folder. Then, when you call a script, you simply add that into the call line such as... [] exec "Scripts\MyScript.sqs"
In fact, the folders within your mission folder are simply to keep your files organized and ease your frustration when sorting them.
LikeWise, you could create a folder for all images. Just be sure to provide the correct directory path for each resource when it is called.
