if you're on stable now
copy/paste Arma 3 folder somewhere else
then switch to preview in steam and it will download new files
when you want to go back to stable, just paste the original files back in the arma 3 folder

@wide ginkgo If you rename your Arma 3 install to say, 'Arma 3 main'
then switch to dev branch @ steam
It'll download a fresh
To switch between them, just rename the one you want to 'Arma 3'
and remember to apply the correct branch @betas in steam

scopeArsenal = 2;``` is this really needed in soldier class or is biki wrong here ?? https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Characters_And_Gear_Encoding_GuideI dont see these in A3 config anywhere...in cfgVehicles > soldiers
south spindle
scopeArsenal = 2 only appears to be used in 5 places.
Twice in a3\characters_f\config.cpp for G_Goggles_VR and G_Balaclava_blk, and whatever inherits those.
Three times in a3\weapons_f_mark\acc\config.cpp for optic_AMS, optic_KHS_blk, optic_KHS_old, and whatever inherits those.
scopeCurator = 2; is used in 1427 places in total, and 41 times in a3\characters_f\config.cpp
So I'd say yes you need scopeCurator and no to scopeArsenal
scopeArsenal just looks like it is available for use if you wanted to define a different scope for arsenal access than the normal scope. So scopeArsenal = 1; and scope = 2; should result in the object not being in the arsenal, but available in the editor. Then scopeArsenal = 2; and scope = 1; would result in the object being in the arsenal, but not in the editor.
But that doesn't apply to CfgMagazines for whatever reason... if either of the scopes are 2 for that then it will show in arsenal

In Apex, it doesn't bother me that not every room is accessible in the larger buildings, but there should be a standard. You should at least be able to expect to be able to enter bottom floor, top floor, and roof access, otherwise, the urban battlespace is practically 2D, making it a completely different experience.

If there is only one object selected in the editor this should work from debug console
copyToClipboard typeOf ((get3DENSelected "object") select 0)
I think when using CBA the debug console opens with "Ctrl + D" in the Eden Editor
No problem, if you were really desperate you could always make an addon that had a key binding for that script while in the editor

In case you weren't aware, the default keybinding to bring up the debug console in Eden Editor is the "~" or "`" key

https://github.com/realitymod/pra3#license seem like PR, BSS ( Black Sand Studios ) and realitymod.com is no longer license holder of Project Reality TM name so there ar eno legal issues there.

@hollow scarab I spoke with epoch a while ago about using the project reality name in arma 3
Unfortunately you wouldn't be able to release using the name Project Reality, because as per our earlier post we do intend picking up devlelopment at a later date. However I hope the code suits your needs, and please remember to honour the creative commons license terms, and give credit to Deadfast/Project Reality Team.
Good luck!
epoch```
And spoke to bluedrake about it. Basically it was a case of they dont legally own the name and they werent doing it so they took it over with or without permission (in this case without permission).. There was some drama about it on the pr forums a while back that has been since deleted afaik..
However, I think there might have been some more discussion behind the scenes. It might be awkward if the actual origional PR devs finished the project they started then they have two PR A3 mods lol.. But I doubt that will happen actually.I think mitsu or jokoho can ellaborate some more about it 😃

@gritty loom because i dont to do this again ok
they Drop they Trade mark after release the name under a Open Source License

@deadfast < ... nope I guess there wont be PRA3 officialy
and as I said to jokoho I really shouldnt be advocating for others, so I guess its allright

well its mostly just a case of, they quit their project because they had real life stuff to do or whatever. And another (different) team is continuing the project off of that. Makes its a public project reality 😃 which is exciting.

either way
I doubt they will finish their project if there is another project reality (you guys)

Can it still be called PR if you have no "official relation with the official PR brand"? An example would be BMW. As they no longer manufacture the M1 (and no longer in development), I doubt someone could make a "BMW M1" and call it both "BMW" or "M1".

I had the feeling to move to Linux as the primary and have Windows as a secondary OS, but I'd rather not go through all the hassle of getting everything just the way I like it. Lord knows how much configuration I have already done on my server image, and that doesn't even have a GUI.
urban sluice
@floral glen any benchmarks etc? I bet they wouldnt be able to run it still.
floral glen
Didn't see anything regarding that

@vast wing I was planning for a dual boot on my laptop but said fuck it

I don't think the linux/mac ports are kept up to date so you might have to wait a little longer for patches
also not sure if battleye works on linux

5gb update and no changelog in the dev build forum?
mellow osprey
Things take time, It'll come.
slender pebble
you'll get big patches until stable
apex uses EBOs
those can't be delta patched via steam
lunar girder
dont care about the filesize. was just wondering whats in the patch
24mb/s download helps alot these days 😉
lunar girder
200/24. i`d rather would like to have 50/50 tbh
lunar girder
lets see, how long it takes to get the servers i like updated ;D
mellow osprey
the fact that servers are using dev over RC is insane to me.
I, personally, don't want to have to update a server manually every day.
lunar girder
all want that sneaky preview
floral glen
new update has a new keyboard preset
mellow osprey
New default, or new entirely?
floral glen
Probably new default
It's called Arma 3 Apex
i looked through
but i didn't notice any difference
mellow osprey
Weapon switching is the most obvious.
Tweaked: The vectoring and auto-hover actions have been separated for VTOLs
Cool
south spindle
1 2 3 4 to switch between weapons
storm blade
solid cipher
i irks me how weapon fire mode doesn't save between swapping weapons
so many deaths from swapping to the vector
mellow osprey
I'm confused. Do you mean that it doesn't save when you switch to your secondary and back?
Or swapping primarys?
cinder reef
thats why full auto should always be default
was worse back when getting in/out of vehicle reset it
mellow osprey
Thats gotta be a bug, right?
floral glen
yeah it's annoying to constantly switch it back to whatever you used
just an oversight
not a bug

Is that OFP or ArmA 1?
feral reef
OFP
urban sluice
Right, ArmA 1's models were much more, refined.
yea the diffrence between ofp and arma1 was huge
OFP, ArmA 1, ArmA 2?
yes
Is that Miles on the right side? RIP...

More of an overcast day by the looks of it.
urban sluice
Wait, is the top image ArmA 1?
It is
yes
i think so
I still wish A3 had an option for ArmA 2 style crosshairs

I was quite annoyed when ArmA 3 went the mainstream FPS style crosshairs

So, when you folks see what we had to work with in OFP, then complain about this or that in A2/A3 now you know why we point at you and laugh!

Your gun should always hit where the barrel is pointed, at least in CQC. I miss the A2 Crosshairs

Then.. i prefer to have a slower ConSpeed, than having a Traffic Limit

Oh, and I also have to deal with network outages on a daily basis

anyone have a update list since the last patch?

@fossil ermine Sure?
Q1. false, there is no vertex limit since p3d version 70 was introduced. The limit is 2^32 now, instead of the former 2^15 vertices normals
fossil ermine
pretty
as in they removed the hardcoded limit
and it defaults (i guess, to DX11 limits)

4.294.967.296 <-- Max? oO

weird, A3 crashed on my 1mil poly object
ahh shit, hard edged...
need to test and see if the thing works ingame or not
it should tbh
@arctic lake - is there a hard limit if you removed the existing hard limit since p3d 70?
well works with 100k faces, 55 tris..
so does with 131200 and 65600verts
could it be 2^16 then?
needs further try, i'll see tomorrow if i can brinf a 1mil poly object in...

Hey pplz, quick question, my team and i are looking to get a server and I'm kind of at a loss which are best and differences
solid cipher
hey spiker
well, if you can message your potential server providers
ask them for server specs
and bandwidth
and compare those specs and their costs
personally, i recommend getting a cheap low slot one just so you can get the hang of things
and then upgrade from there
iirc, wombat servers still have $4/month for 8 slots, it's in australia
honest igloo
Yeah of course, the question is what are reliable sites, don't want to get ripped off 😂
solid cipher
makes good trial servers
solid cipher
reliable sites for comparing hosting?
could give this a shot, http://comparegamehosting.com/game/arma-3/
honest igloo
Awesome
solid cipher
though i normally just ask around on other servers, asking what providers they use
vilayer's nice imo, but it costs a fair bit
GTXgaming would be the one i'd rent from
mellow osprey
Vilayer is iffy, they have had deal breaker issues in the past.
solid cipher
cause from my last contact with them 6+ months back, they had the best price:performance ratio
ah
i've been on vilayer servers but not actually rented from them
honest igloo
Oo
mellow osprey
IMO, if you arn't going to use a server 100% of the time, you'd be better off using your own hardware (If you have the bandwidth)
solid cipher
^
i'd love to have my own, but shitty AU internet
1mbps upload lol
i can barely upload my mission file through ftp xD
mellow osprey
I really hope FTTP, or at the very least, FTTdp gets rolled out, instead of the FTTN garbage.
honest igloo
It's kind of a strain to host 10+ pplz hahah
That's why we're looking at hosting options
solid cipher
then you're better off getting a small server
plus, if everyone chips in for their slot
it'll be like 1.50 bucks per person
honest igloo
Yeah of course, were just looking at our options with keeping the cost low
But getting the best that we need and maybe a little more
Never hurts to have headroom
solid cipher
true
mellow osprey
You can always scale up, its not like you're locked in.
honest igloo
At times we get into mission with 20 to 30 people in
solid cipher
wow
i'd say
get a 24-32 slot?
though if it's like 10 person mostly, you're better of with 12/16
honest igloo
Yeah, but as bossmann said, i can upscale on the day of to allow more players in?
As an example
mellow osprey
It depends on the host, but I am spoilt because I use dedicated hosts, where I can just move the volumes across to a new server.
