How many mods can you run with Arma 3?

#

At once

thin sable
#

7

steep plover
#

7.5*

thin sable
#

mods dont always work together

#

so sometimes it could be 200

#

and next 1

#

you should only run the mods you actively use

How forgiving is arma 3 to new players? Really been thinking about getting into it, but also very intimidated.

vast silo
#

Soloing arma 3 is fun, but can be confusing when you get into mods a bit. With alot of controls it can takes some time and all. But it does have a turtorial that is pretty fair in showing how to navigate around the game and all

#

Also finding a community and all that fits your play style can be daunting as well since alot of servers have ops and all that will seem alot but in the end its quite fun with lots of people

In the end alot of communities will be willing to show you the ropes on how they play their servers and all

There’s also r/findaunit on reddit where you can read about groups rather that get spammed by anyone with an internet connection. If you decide to get arma, I’d learn the vanilla controls first before trying to learn big game changing mods like ace.

Most communities make an effort to help new players. If they don’t, don’t feel like you need to be there.
You also don’t need to join a unit, it’s not for everyone

wondering if anyone has begun speculation on the arma 4 map based off the 160p gif we got for the reveal, so far im thinking northern europe / scandinavia or a terrain based of the balkans like everon if arma 4 if possibly to be cold war, ive found a coastline on bulgaria that matches the teaser quite well

I think almost everyone tries to do that anyways. Speculation... is not really welcomed (because the topic can really go nowhere very often). But insights you see? I guess yes

it's a set of lines of SQF code that you can indeed execute through the debug console or in a trigger, in different ways. Depends on the environment (SP/MP) and which would be more convenient for you.

#

if you need some guidance, ask in #arma3_scripting and be as descriptive as possible.

#

I was told yesterday that the reason why my game says there is not enough space to download mods even though there is 6.5TBs open is that I have to set where the mods download to. How would i do that

how can i activate the trackIr in reforger, srry the english

#

is there such a thing as like a database of scripts for missions?

peak cradle
#

I have a personal list of scripts which I used in Arma 2. and some basic scripts for A3 that I tend to copy&paste from mission to mission.

Although a lot of stuff (in A3) can now be done with Zeus, or basic modules instead.

yall think arma 4 is gonna have the not so good dlc system in a3? i cant imagine paying full price for all arma 3 dlcs

what is the not so good dlc system?

charging seperate dlcs for some content like jets

stark umbra

whats wrong with that? its extra content that people spent time to make

nothing is said regarding even the existence of A4 DLCs
but regarding the system itself, it could be the same, it could be different, no intel about it

its kind of like a little, more casual demo of what they can do for Arma 4, right?

#

Always was a little confused on what exactly Reforger even was

dusky valley
#

It is more than a demo right now I think.

#

It was certainly made to showcase the game engine, and allow people to get a head start/learn the modding with Enfusion.

Is Arma 4 going to be going back to the Cold War stuff then? It seems that way with the Arma 3 DLCs and Reforger

You still have a lot of singleplayer missions you may want to try

dusky valley
#

Also, the VR thing in the bootcamp mission is not all of it. The VR Training in the tutorial menu goes way beyond that. Even has a helicopter training section.

#

There are showcases for each faction in the game. You can nick away a plane/vehicle and play around with it.

Is there a way to sync / attache the marker type and size? So infantry marker with the platoon size marker? 4000 hrs and well I have no clue...

Comms: cell service sucked in the woods and mike 2-6 was held by AAF. All the nato guys there were ran or were killed maybe.

Slow Nato response:
politics / processes and boats are slow. The US government would probably be trying to figure out what happened, then make a plan of how to respond before preparing and sending troops

Just my best guess. It’s your campaign. If people argue with you on the story, you can just tell them how it is.

It probably supports most of the official CUP versions at least.

Usually the issue is all the unfinished "Chernarus 2035" maps scattered around the workshop.

Load CUP Terrains - Core & CUP Terrains - Maps and you'll get something that works.

#

CUP Terrains - Maps 2.0 is probably supported too, although that map is a little buggy.

Hi guys, this might be a long shot but I hope someone might know whats wrong.

I am trying to host a dedicated arma 3 server, with some mods on the Antistasi gamemode/mission. I have added my mods, added them to the launch params and everything.
These are my launch parameters: C:\Games\Arma3\A3Master\arma3server.exe "-profiles=C:\Games\Arma3\A3Master" -port=2302 -config=C:\Games\Arma3\A3Master\server.cfg "-mod=allmymodshere"

My server.cfg looks like this: https://sourceb.in/qOYpUIgpon

And the problem that occurs is when I get ingame, I simply sit at the role selection screen and nothing never happens. (https://i.imgur.com/Os9KkUo.png)

I can tell that the mission seems to be loaded since in the serverlist it shows the mission correctly (https://i.imgur.com/rPbShYs.png)

The server also knows that I join and shows correctly in the logs (https://i.imgur.com/TafjZ6C.png)

I did though notice an error in my log file looking like this: https://i.imgur.com/dzuCj9z.png
However after googling it, many people said it was an irrelevant error, is this true?

I am lost at this point whats wrong, if anyone knows if im missing some random start parameter or something it would be nice.

#

I have also tried as admin typing #missions and #mission Antistasi_tem_kujari.tem_kujari ingame, but to no avail.

dusky valley
#

Post the entire RPT logfile in #server_windows there is a table in it that shows which mods are found or not. The RPT log file should be inside the profile used by the server.

#

Before you can use those commands you need to login as admin first: #login youradminpassword

#

That last screenshot of an error is harmless. All servers do that.

I can't upload files in there

formal hollow
#

Do you mean the stockpile at the Armoury? Whatever's left in your squad members' inventory gets added to the stockpile after the end of each mission if they survive.
Since AI grenadiers don't use their grenade rounds that much, it tends to add up to a lot over time.

hallow bison
#

nah, my inventory is just full of 40mms

#

and the automatic resupply thing always makes sure to pick up more

formal hollow
#

Probably because grenade rounds are a part of his default loadout for the majority of the missions. But you can ignore the recommended loadout anyway.

hallow bison

Just use the default gear action instead and grab the stuff that you need. The Rearm action's always been annoying like that.

Arma 3
To host a server or a game session locally, you need to make sure first that your WAN address / external IP uses the IPv4 protocol!
Check your router’s status page in the settings to confirm. (If in doubt, ask your ISP, Websites like “whatismyip.com” give you a false positive!)
Local servers and games can not be hosted on an IPv6 network, or IPv4 via DSlite tunnel!
https://www.avg.com/en/signal/ipv4-vs-ipv6
Once you have confirmed that your connection uses the IPv4 protocol, you need to manually open / forward the ports 2302-2306 UDP (https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Dedicated_Server#Port_Forwarding)
See your router’s manual on how to do that, or ask google: “<your router model> + port forwarding”

Go to the Tutorial menu instead. While the bootcamp are the prologue to the campaign (and certainly advised to do it), the majority of tutorials are in the VR-training. Do that instead. And then try out what you learned in the showcases. Starting the Eastwind campaign is easy enough in the first missions, but you will do much better with a better background knowledge on what you can do in Arma 3.

subscribe auto-downloads them (maybe not atm due to things being tits up) into your a3 folder, then arma3 game launcher will let you activate (-mod=@mod) them once they are downloaded.

Hopefully, suggesting that everything is alright... I just get kicked out of most servers

unreal rivet
#

because you arent running the same mods as them at a guess

smoky nexus
#

Thats probably it for breaking point

#

but epoch, I can't even manage to run it

#

Also whats this business about signing up on some forums to whitelist your account/ getting an external launcher

epoch is MP only, just like BP so it will only work in an MP enviroment

smoky nexus

Ye, each time I try playing the game I load into BP/Arma 3 load screen

#

Never Epoch

#

Some servers - some communities require you to be white listed for those.. Mods.

you need to unload other mods and run with only epoch loaded

yeah that too ^

# mystic fulcrum how do you self revive in antistasi

Make sure you have a first aid kit in your inventory. That is assuming you are using an Antistasi version that has a withstand option. If you use other mods that make you seem to go unconcious (like ACE) then you may simply not be able to, unless a medic comes to you to revive you.

Hello fellow arma junkies, how is your day going?

#

Eastwind is not meant to be played with mods anyway. The campaign scripting could fail to work if SOG AI modifies AI behaviour.

hallow bison

#

Though I heard there was a mod to undo SOG Prairie Fire's user interface modifications. So you get the normal Arma 3 user interface.

dusky valley

#

What exact error is the question

dusky valley
#

There are 134 pages of comments in that mod's description page. There is bound to be something about that in it.

thin sable
#

But also there is a option switch in the sogpf options to bring back the vanilla menu and a mod in workshop to enable all vanilla campaigns back into the list.

#

None of the vanilla campaigns are meant to be played with such extra AI

I guess that switch HorribleGoat talks about is the mod I mentioned. Was a vague memory.

Does anyone know why Workshop mods are kept in Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\107410\xxxxxxx\addons, even when uninstalled from arma?
And how I can delete them, if possible.

untold shell
#

Make sure you are unsubscribed from the mods in the workshop

#

If they are still in the folder after that, you should just be able to delete them.

steep bramble
#

I've unsubscribed from Cytech Core Assets, which is mod ID 2764686098. But still I have the files under this directory, even though they're removed from the hidden directory under steamapps\common\Arma 3\!Workshop

#

I wasn't even aware mods downloaded themselves to two separate places.

untold shell
#

The folders in !Workshop are just symbolic links, so removing those doesn't actually remove the mod folder in the 107410\ folder.

steep bramble
#

Sorry for the computer illiteracy then, but is there anything wrong with completely wiping the 107410\ folder?

#

It seems the exact same .PBO's, keys, and .CPP files are present in !Workshop
Only reason I ask is because I have 62.9GB worth of mods currently installed, and 112GB of mods in the 107 folder.

robust mural
#

You know when you create a shortcut to your desktop?

#

That is what the !Workshops folder is; but for all the mod IDs and mod content; accumulated in one spot.

#

Deleting those shortcuts won't do anything storage wise; deleting the mods in the 107410\ folder will effectively delete the mods.

#

But you unsubscribe from the mods associated on Steam Workshop; or next time you run the game, when the automatic verification of integrity takes place, it will automatically download all of those mods again.

steep bramble
robust mural
#

It's not the exact same files in two places; it is that same set of files, but in a shortcut in your game directory.

They are definitely symbolic links that target the folders in 107410\.

Moricky just did a thread on how Arma 3's lore was in part formed by Bohemia devs playing wargames during Arma 3 development, with Ivan Buchta preparing maps showing the movements of main forces that the player doesn't encounter, and how this helped inform Laws of War and Tanks DLCs: https://twitter.com/KarelMoricky/status/1851610038168670221

Karel Mořický (@KarelMoricky) on X

I remember playing the #OperationFlashpoint demo in 2001 and noticing attack vectors for entire battalions on the map. My imagination ran wild—was the game really that big?
Let’s talk about how we invent forces to create the illusion of a large war… and to run wargames! (1/11)

Twitter ·
placid spoke
#

His narrative design is top notch

opal nacelle
#

This also includes a mention that Dean Hall had previously sketched out an ORBAT for an eventually-cancelled large-scale multiplayer mode for Arma 3

#

Due to Moricky's fascination with such diagrams, as a side project Moricky implemented the in-game ORBAT viewer, because I originally made it to give players a better idea about what forces are involved in campaign missions. What I didn’t anticipate is how informative it would be also for us.

This groundwork proved invaluable when developing DLCs like Laws of War and Tanks, which portrayed the East Wind campaign from different perspectives. Thanks to our wargame preparations, we had a clearer picture of what was happening across the island.
...and meanwhile in Tac-Ops, two combat groups just get magically added to the 111th's ORBAT that never appear or get mentioned in The East Wind.
Seems like those 'wargaming preparations' didn't get evenly applied to all the DLCs. 😛

To host a server or a game session locally, you need to make sure first that your WAN address / external IP uses the IPv4 protocol!
Check your router’s status page in the settings to confirm. (If in doubt, ask your ISP, Websites like “whatismyip.com” give you a false positive!)
Local servers and games can not be hosted on an IPv6 network, or IPv4 via DSlite tunnel!
https://www.avg.com/en/signal/ipv4-vs-ipv6
Once you have confirmed that your connection uses the IPv4 protocol, you need to manually open / forward the ports 2302-2306 UDP (https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Dedicated_Server#Port_Forwarding)
See your router’s manual on how to do that, or ask google: “<your router model> + port forwarding”

is dose 100% ive done it before but deleted and redownloaded and now we cant join each other i used to go to multiplayer host combat ops everon and pick my mods and hit host locally and then invite my friends and go kill people now ive tried everything and nothing will work ive hosted other games like this dayz, beamng drive but this wont work i also ported the ports from that link and nothing

thin sable

if you have done everything right. it would work

#

if it does not work either you did not do some step right.
or your internet connection has changed in way that it cant host anymore

#

thats all there is to it

junior turret

so whats the "right" way cause whatever im doing must be wrong ive tried porting 27015, 27036 to TCP and UDP inbound and outbound all of these 2001, 17777, 27015, 27031-27036 through UDP and TCP inbound and outbound AND 2302-2306 2303 2304 also through udp and tcp inbound and outbonnd

CGNAT?

#

What’s your provider and NAT type

junior turret
#

im so confused what im doing wrong ive done it before justr cant remember

#

bell is my provider where would i find my nat type ?

robust mural
#

Are you a customer of Bell's Wireless Home Internet (WHI)? That service uses CGNAT (Carrier-Grade NAT), which means you won't be able to do port forwarding on your Home Hub.

#

Another Canadian subject to CGNAT - had the same issue at Rogers and had to call them, essentially they said they can't help.

junior turret
#

ive recently switched from wireless to ethernet would that cause anything and thats makes no sense ive port forwarded before for many other games so whats stopping it now ?

robust mural
#

You can't port forward with CGNAT

#

It will allow you to on your routers portal - but it isn't actually taking any effect.

junior turret
#

ive done it before for other games 💀 and for reforger before but i guess LOL so can you tell me what ports 1000% need to be forwarded so i can just tell my friend instead of him porting 13 different ports ?

robust mural
#

if he is with Rogers, Bell or Shaw

#

He is also screwed, they all use CGNAT

junior turret
#

he used something differnt i just need the right ports

robust mural
#

But I know money isn't exactly just a finite object, but if you have the funds - I'd just go out and rent a cheap dedi or a VM from a provider. That will get your worlds ahead of what you are doing right now and you will have limited restrictions

#

just send him this and have him forward those ports

Apologies if this has been answered before- but how come you guys (Bohemia) don't include some of the Arma 3 CDLC assets in the base game? Even if it was only guns and vehicles, I feel like you guys would make stupid money from players who play our servers buying them so they can utilize them without DLC notifications. Between KOTH and Olympus you guys could make a pretty pretty penny haha :D

dusky valley
#

Because they are (C)DLC. Optional content.

#

And how would you make money from something that is put in the base game for free?

hearty island
#

Everyone can already access CDLC content for servers, they'll just have to download the compat data mod from workshop

dusky valley
#

Right, that too.

gray python
#

hello

willow edge
misty cedar
#

I feel like there would be a killer profit to be made assuming large server like C4G, LYL and Olympus all added the content (which don't know why they wouldn't).

thin sable
#

servers can add that content and people can access that just fine with compatibility data

#

theres nothing preventing people doing that

#

but the people themselves

#

the system works

#

people dont

#

and cant fix people with dlc

#

theres also problems with equal treatment of dlcs and such business related things

misty cedar
#

I'm not sure you are understanding what I'm saying. Servers that are unmodded do not want to put content on their server that forces their players to have to download mods. It deters a lot of players away from their servers. They also do not want their players to be forced to buy it to even be able to connect/play. By having this content included in the base game allows them to join but just with a paywall if they decide to use that content.

#

If there isn't the resources to do so or there would be other implementation concerns that's understandable; I'm just saying there would be a demand for something like that and it would be worth it's while.

thin sable
#

even if they dont use it

#

since it would be part of base game

#

and again thats problem with people mentality

#

not in any way how the cdlcs are set up right now

misty cedar
#

Furthermore it would not restrict players membership to the server based on their ownership of the DLC itself.

thin sable
#

granted there was discussion of making it easier to get the compatibility data if I recall right

#

that could be useful

thin sable
#

unless its maps. those are only hard locked to owners

#

as it is in base game

misty cedar
thin sable
#

👍

#

with compatiblity data you can preview all dlcs assets and join server using the dlc (map restrictions apply)

#

and youll have same restrictions in content use as with vanilla dlcs

#

its just people have for some reason made their mind that NO WE DONT DO THIS

#

where it is few clicks away

stark umbra
#

"eww why devs put dlcs in game" checks steam profile games ( 4000 games )...

misty cedar
# thin sable its just people have for some reason made their mind that NO WE DONT DO THIS

I get that. The server I develop for has been up for more than 10 years though and realistically if we started to mod our mission in a way that would force clients to download mods; we would likely lose a lot of players. We'd be losing a lot of people who might catch Arma off sale and see our server but be deterred from joining because of the mod downloading aspect they may not care to learn (as easy as it is).

stark umbra
#

rent two servers then

misty cedar
stark umbra
#

most people who play arma are playing in a private group with a many mods

thin sable
#

people who dont bother with that stuff are probably unlikely to invest into the game more

#

in any case. it wont change

misty cedar
thin sable
#

do they own all the vanilla dlcs?

#

or well it dont really matter

misty cedar
# thin sable do they own all the vanilla dlcs?

Yep. Most of them I imagine having bought it so they could amplify their experience on the server they already enjoyed. Exactly why I said Bohemia could make a killing in terms of profit 🙂

thin sable
#

its not up for anykind of debate or reasoning. the system is set like this and its not going to change

#

there is a bigger picture in play that you dont see from your perspective

stuff like this

#

beyond that you can look up chat history about it

#

this seems to come up with just about every dlc launch, and there is nothing gained repeating it

Probably the reason it keeps coming up is because there is a player base that would appreciate the value in it- even if you don't.

thin sable
#

yes but it still wont change

misty cedar
# dusky valley Do you want a game install that takes 162 Gigabytes, even if you don't play all ...

The new COD is 300gb. I don't endorse large file sizes like that but 162gb would not the end of the world, even if it's not great. Also Steams minimum requirements claim the game is 45gb. The only thing I was proposing is the assets like weapons and vehicles be ported. Not the entire DLCs content. That would of course require some reworking of the CDLCs to utilize the new assets paths and stuff but to me honestly seems like a worthwhile endeavor.

misty cedar
# stark umbra must be a life server 🙂

Not sure what that has anything to do with it. Would be curious @balmy moat thoughts but pretty sure any server that has an interest in preserving their server without mandatory mods would appreciate this.

#

The only thing we are looking for is to get more out of CDLC content in a way that would give players a better experience.

dusky valley
#

The textures for weapons, uniforms/clothes and vehicles (and buildings) are the things that make storage requirements large. I added up all the CDLC I bought (=all of them) and added a rough 45GB for Arma with all DLCs together to come up with 162 GB. That is a big waste of SSD space if you don't use it.

misty cedar
dusky valley
#

No, waste of space would cause a backlash among the other players that don't care about the CDLC that they don't use. That means they can't install other games on that drive.

#

Subscribe to the CDLC compatibility data. And make your server allow people loading it by only adding the bikey file to the server's keys folder.
