Thanks for the mention

TG Mission-makers may find the "ShackTactical: ShackTac f (Sahrani)" component of particular interest

Fer,
You are always a welcome and distinguished guest here at TG. If it were not for the work you and the BAS crew have done, we would not see most of the missions around the ArmA community as we do today.

Hmmm, sounds pretty shady. Do I have to enter my credit card number to use Bas-f?

ednos

No, your social security number will work fine.

Thanks! That's extremely kind of you. The funny thing is this: Outside of ShackTac, I have no idea how popular BAS f actually is. Everytime we release a new build, we get zero feedback on the BI forums or news sites.

Looking at the stats for the BAS website in March, I can see that ~250 downloads of BAS f v1-1 were made (curiously, we also saw ~160 downloads of v1-0-8 as well), so somebody has to be using it, LOL.

Gogeta

Hmm downloading it now... And to believe I had gotten about a 1/4 of the way done with my mission in the in-game editor alone :P Cant wait to give this a try and finish 'er up. Thanks!

Used it as well and found it very helpful, still no walk in the park, but at least a much better way to start than figuring everything out by yourself. Never really figured out how to do a proper mission ending though, kinda got tired of fiddling around with script and stuff.
