Who else has updated their CUP terrains and checked out the OFP islands?

nope, too big a download + tanoa is all there is right now

separate downloads for CUP terrains would be so so good

cup core + cup maps?

nah i mean being able to download maps individually

if you mean all in one that would be the same combined in size..
oh no... I dont think so

It's one thing to play on Malden in OFP, but once you visit it in A3, it's clear just how little cover and concealment there is. I expected taller grass for some reason.
slender pebble
gameplay wise the maps improved with the AI
finite relic
Don't get me wrong, I love what CUP has done, it just doesn't quite feel the same without bad graphics.
slender pebble
"the graphics aren't bad enough, please make them shit again" π

Lol. In between Houdan and Dourdan(sp) near the coast is a hill. Next to it is a patch of brown grass. In the OFP Demo I seem to remember it being much higher, like just above waist height.
But then again, I'm old and it's been awhile.

@finite relic Yeah, i constantly close it π©
The best one was: "How can i connect on a Server" 2 Days ago π
finite relic
It's like some of them bought the game, then start asking about things they would find out if they actually played the game. Someone the other day was asking how to to use basic commands. I asked if they had played Boot Camp or the Campaign and their answer was "no" they just jumped straight into MP and then straight to Discord to use it as their own personal keyboard reference.

But, thats the current Generation.
To dumb/lazy to find things out on their own.
Why should they? They get everything pumped up their ... not visible openings

It used to be that people would lurk for a long time before posting or only have access to reference material/ tutorials. Now they just seem to skip that and their first knee jerk response it to ask a question, the same question on EVERY available channel they can find.

current GPU is sli HD6950s lol
even if I couldn't run it at ultra a gtx970 would still be an improvment lmao

4790k - 970 - 16Ram -> Everything on Ultra ~30-90FPS (depends on Server/Gametype)

also in arma 3 we cant prone with AT right?

it would be so cool using that bipod ha
dapper slate
well A1/A2 ace had that and it was really a simple thing
thin sable
Have to wait until A5 then. :L
abstract hedge
You could also use binoculars while also holding AT in A2 Ace :P
dapper slate
simple prone animation for AT would be enough
because it is what military does too
but you cant fire from it
gonna test that in the dev
if you not lying
π
hollow scarab
Dovetail mounts and support for it from the core wouldnt hurt. Do want
current GPU is sli HD6950s lol
I got MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III and I run on Ultra with much weaker CPU ( in SP that is lel )
crouch yes but prone no... none of the launchers has prone fire support which is kinda sad
dont know why, might be a reason, hard to implement or something
those are channel for looking to play oh also #looking_for_game #looking_for_unit
no wonder its freaking hot and its Monday
spice tusk
it can't be that hard to implement....only one animation more? reloading would still happen while crouched but a prone animation would be no problem imo
dapper slate
nope you cant fire the AT in prone because he automaticly puts it on the back and switch to rifle
π¦
hollow scarab
it need prone hand anim and reload anim
right I knew there is a reason
smaller ones can be fired from prone
spice tusk
well a prone reload anim wouldn't make sense imo....I mean I never operated a rocket launcher but i guess reloading while prone is kinda hard
hollow scarab
like law or rpg18
dapper slate
reload can be done in crouching but that aiming/firing should be possible in prone
hollow scarab
oh wait those are disposable they dont need reload... well it has to do with all other anims for rig right?
I know ace2 had it in arma2
dapper slate
look at this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qPMPSB88as
it is possible , but this is modded i think

you should be able to shoot from prone
just that you'll be lying sideways as well

Could very well be poison ivy, same concept
But, I've always though environmental hazards should be present
BadBensons Raptors would be nice or even Ryan's Zombies, but there's one problem. Once you are required to load those mods, you KNOW they're going to be present. That's why I've always been a big fan of Super Mods like CUP.
CUP has so much in it, you can't really guess what's going to be present in a mission.
hollow scarab
ah missions are the last bi of the design.. mission can require CUP for example but not all bits from the mod would be present.. it depends on mission designer... I think CUP might not be a good comparison for this, one need a complete system mod which actually changes the aspects of gameplay with whole bunch of different systems... I cant name one for Arma3, for Arma2 I could name Ace2 along iwth acex components and a sound mod on top, that was game changer
but I hear plans for acex in arma3 and cup will be part of that hopefully
finite relic
Can't think of the name of the mod, but one has great objects for "telling a story" but again, once you start adding mods for just a few objects, you end up with a HUGE modline
hollow scarab
true... seen servers with very long mod launch lines... guess the trend of every single bit or feature having an actual mod... would be much better to have it all centralized in few larger mods but.. people... I guess
finite relic
Yeah, I'm a fan of larger combined mods.
Like [Dust]Sabre does some really good plane mods, but each one is a separate mod, there's like 20 of them.

Got some more info. You have the pilot and the sensor operator (cameras and lasers). The pilot controls the master arm and the trigger, the sensor operator handles targeting.

You can use TexView 2 to convert your images to .paa (better have a .png as a source file to convert to .paa, it also handles alpha)

Hey guys, how do you add units that i spawned on the ground into a chopper in the air?
Everwhere I look people are saying "just using In Cargo" but I can't find anything like that for the life of me.
finite relic
In the editor or when using Zeus ?
finite relic
Do you want them to start in the air which the chopper or move into it later ?
solemn geyser
Start in
finite relic
Ok. Easiest way is (for now) to put the chopper on the ground
Then, move those units that you want in the chopper over the chopper model and they will take their places within it. Once that is done, out the chopper back to where you wanted it and voila all done.
solemn geyser
Just do a load waypoint I'm guessing
Oh okay
Ohhh thank you
Alright ill do that
solemn geyser
Ohhh jeez that was fucking easy
mellow osprey
haha
solemn geyser
I had no idea it was really that easy
Lol here i am otherthinking the hell out of it
finite relic
It used to be difficult. Eden has made so many things easier. At least you gave it a few good tries before asking +1
Damn autocorrect
solemn geyser
Yeah true
raven shuttle
Hope theres gonna be a easier way to add weapons and stuff onto units when 2D editor gets phased out for good. Eden editor is too slow and doesn't support mods that well.
mellow osprey
You might see Eden as too slow, where as I find it much, much faster.
finite relic
I've been setting presets in the load out editor and I find it much easier to apply changes to lots of units
mellow osprey
Exactly, and I am sure it wouldn't be too much of a stretch for someone to implement a VAS type system for editing loadouts without having to go into the Arsenal.
raven shuttle
Again I am talking about the modded weapons and equipment as some items do not show correctly in the VA, which is my issue. If there was a LEA editor of sorts that worked with Eden it wouldn't be a problem.
mellow osprey
I have yet to see a mod that didn't work with the Arsenal, especially now, after its been out for so long.
finite relic
I think it may depend on the mods you are using. I've no problem with RHS, CUP or ACE in the editor.
(3den)
raven shuttle
Also something about Virtual Aresnal not syncing the loadouts correctly between client and server.
finite relic
Again, not had an issue. Once everything is assigned it's written to mission.sqm
I'm not saying your issue doesn't exist, just that I've not ever seen (firsthand) that being an issue with standard mods.
Where I have seen issues is with the survival and life mod folks.
raven shuttle
Well thats what I am told anyway.
finite relic
Never believe what you are told. Always confirm it for yourself.

Oh well. When apex launchs though, will 2D Editor get removed?

But to be fair, in the Skype chat we pretty much banned most political talk. So it makes it easier in here to give it its own place.
mellow osprey
I was in a voice chat and they (2 of the 6 something people) got into a lukewarm discussion about the "Brexit". Its not that I think discussions about politics are unnessesary, but as an outsider to the whole Brexit thing, and much of politics in general, it really is one of the most disinteresting things to listen to.

question about arma 3 editor -- I notice that if you make a scenario wherein you tell bot helis to fly around to certain waypoints, you cannot set desired altitude, speed, manner of flying, etc. The helis fly at a fixed altitude and a fixed speed. Any way to achieve more control over what you want your heli-bots to do?
hollow scarab
Wasnt there a setting inside waypoints to configure that?
soft perch
I've been experimenting with it for hours and no luck so far
hollow scarab
name your heli like h1 than set in wp on act box h1 flyinheight 300
ai will priotirize if WP is seek and destroy and there are enemies in the area, it will go to that wp straight
height param in wp has nothing to do with altitude of flight
also in your AI helo set desired altitude with h1 flyinheight 400
helicopters will always start on about 100 ASLW
finite relic
That's basically what I said. I even went into the editor to confirm. Only point to mention is to have the helo in the air, otherwise it doesn't move

mods you dont want players to be running on your server
dont add their bikeys to the keys folder
think of it as allowed mods trigger so any bikey residing inside keys folder is allowed one that isnt ..well players cant use it or connect with it
also dont run sound or any FX mods on your server unless mod developer explicitly said it has to be run on both server and client, there is no need for it on the server in 90% cases, but if you want to allow their use by players add their bikeys only to keys folder

devout ravine
Hey @vale valley is there a hotfix planned for the one shot leg shots? For us Battle Royale players it's really annoying. It's the same with the bulletproof bushes.
You can armor up all you want, if you have best in slot stuff it only takes 1-2 hits in the legs (+ broken legs, you can't even walk anymore and defend yourself). It's really annoying..
abstract hedge
...That's always been like that though
devout ravine
Can't fatigues like the Wooly Pully also armor up your legs?
abstract hedge
Before you just went into walking animation instead of limping
devout ravine
For a PvP only mod like Battle Royale it's kinda game-breaking tho, everybody is hitting the legs cause they know it's a safe kill..
No fun.
spice tusk
well that's because shooting someone with a firearm is almost always a safe kill
abstract hedge
Pretty sure many other factors other then that small thing is
devout ravine
And I am just here to ask.
spice tusk
but how are some PANTS supposed to ARMOR your LEGS?!
finite relic
Ever been shot in the leg?
I've seen and treated leg GSWs , they're not nice. So, if the game helps accurately portray it, so be it.

@devout ravine - dwarden has nothing to do with that, so you asking him is not gonna help
if Battle royal is a mod, and is such a problem for you lads

I'm sure everyone on here knows of units and play with some.

It is my actual name. I'm not very creative.
finite relic
So, basically I was trying to resolve the name with a country and a country where school just finished, lol!
Well, again, congrats. You've got you're whole life ahead of you, don't screw it up!
foggy nimbus
I'm suddenly very nervous.
finite relic
Haha, nah. Just do the things that you enjoy. Have a purpose. If you don't have a purpose, do something in the meantime until you find what you want to do.
foggy nimbus
I agree.

I joined the Navy and saw the world until I figured out what I wanted to do.
foggy nimbus
The British Navy?
finite relic
US
foggy nimbus
Oh, you're American? I had thought you were British. I must have misunderstood.
finite relic
Complicated story, I have dual citizenship
foggy nimbus
Well, I'm a subject of the Queen. π
finite relic
As am I
foggy nimbus
I'm not a British citizen, though. It's easier for me to get citizenship, however, and I have a bunch of rights that only citizens normally have. Being in the Commonwealth is fun.
finite relic
Lol, I told a few fellas from Oz the same thing

Pretty much every server I can see on the list has the CUP mods. That's nice.
finite relic
It adds so much to the game (choice wise)
foggy nimbus
In your experience, do most servers have it?
finite relic
No. But then again, I rarely play public servers anymore. The only public servers I play on would be the occasional KOTH or Domination clone .
foggy nimbus
I see.
finite relic
There are few good servers in Chicago, can't remember their names. Also, be sure to check out ShackTactical.

@finite relic and check out TacticalBattlefield - www.tacbf.com awesome mod
finite relic
I'm aware of it, just don't play it. Don't have that much time.
frail isle
i like it more then KOTH
finite relic
The only reason I enjoy KOTH is its ease of access. No mods, just click and play. Sort of like an instant action button.

@wide pewter but its more like multi language. 30% may russians but not that kinda problem to me. tbh tacbf is my first choice of PvP. especially in game-design.
its like the big brother of Squad

cerulean trellis
without making a mod, the items you can retexture are fairly limited
what did you make a texture for?
cerulean trellis

looks like cfgMods is not working
sweet axle
AFAIK cfgmods doesn't do anything useful now anyway. Arsenal icons etc. are done by the modfolder's mod.cpp now
sturdy scaffold
