BAS f is an MP mission folder containing a library of scripts, functions and template files, plus a manual. The framework is designed to provide the mission designer, after minimal additional configuration, with a selection of pre-tested features and functionality intended to improve the overall quality and re-play ability of his/her mission. The framework is intended only to save time for the designer by providing components such as weather selections that work with join-in-progress (JIP), or pre-configured gear selections for re-equipping soldiers during the mission briefing. For many components care has also been taken to localize messages and texts (where used) into several languages (German, Czech, Polish, Russian, Spanish and French).
Who is the framework for? BAS f is aimed at the new ArmA 1 mission designer, although it is not intended for complete beginners. To use BAS f the mission designer should have a basic understanding of: - How to open the MP mission editor
- How to place and edit units, triggers, waypoints and markers in the editor
- The ArmA 1 scripting syntax (for .sqf files)
- The roles of key files: description.ext and init.sqf
- The role of script files (.sqf files)
If a mission designer has already created his first few missions, everything in BAS f should be relatively straightforward. In addition, mission designers with intermediate experience may also find BAS f useful as a time-saver, or as the basis for their own personal base framework(s).
