Would Axe finally attract women (characters) into Arma3?
It didnt work in high school, why should it work now? 🤔
Axe on the Hatchet (wound)? If it smells like cologne, leave it alone...
walks out of the room and continues down the hall..
to the fridge for a beer
You have beer fridge in the bedroom?
and what's the problem with a fridge in the bedroom if I may ask 👀
asking for a friend
i have a coffee machine on my desk... does this count?
lol, this ^^
excuse my dimwittedness, but 1.92 says something about new cold war scenarios and stuff, but when I open arma3 I see nothing new in the menus. Is it something I have to buy extra?
oic thanks

would I be right in guessing that 'Creator' DLC means stuff that Bohemia didn't do themselves, but purchased?

no, it was created by a 3rd party team and released via BI platforn
@urban sluice
delete
has nothing to do with arma and inappropriate
rules are rules
do you want the mods to come and take care of you?
i'd like her better without any of the textiles, but that's not of interest. so please delete
enough now
🙄
bye
huh

thx
Sorry. Should've been permanent, didn't read all messages quick enough
doubt that account will return
?
all clear FM. dedmen took care
Ninjaed all the moderators 😄
Ban message should've been racism and not offensive behaviour. I need to get better
One day Young Padawan
Last time someone called me young padawan, I shot a 40mm grenade onto the outside of a no-shooting-zone area and killed my entire squad
What I want to know is whether or not Dedmen has custom sound effects on his end for the bot. For whatever reason that is what I envision.
pew pew
I'm deleting your spam
And no one is pinging you
you get mentioned when your spam get's deleted since the comand requires @ username to work
¯_(ツ)_/¯

You said your DC is broken. But you don't even know what DC means? how do you know that its broken then?
oh that .... i mean discord i thought by saying dc he was asking something else
To be polite and non-disrespectful may I suggest that you not comment on things that you don’t understand?
k yeah but what timezone is TD? do u know? becuase i wanna know why ppl threatening me with this guys name
@urban sluice threatening how? And be aware that false accusations will result in your removal.
dosent matter im not here to get people involved or spread the drama i just wanna get to the bottom of this because its a concern for me
If you have a personal matter with another individual, please take it up with the individual via PM @urban sluice
If you do not conduct yourself civilly, you may be removed.
already posted yesterday
Why after this update is my dedicated server kicking people for being idle?
I never set any of this shit up and it never did ths before
new default setting iirc. can be easily edited in server config
Where?
lobbyIdleTimeout = 300;
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/server.cfg
not sure if 0 or negative numbers work tho. set it to 9999 or such
It doesn't say how to turn this crap off
read what i wrote
Yeah that's really frustrating
Becuase I have like 32 people slotting in and we're getting kicked out, just an annoying interruption which really doesn't have any value
It shouldn't be a default setting
it is what it is. i think it got forced/introduced for official public servers.
set a higher value and be done with it
Its literally kicking people in the map screen
there are also other values to set up, like
roleTimeout
briefingTimeout
debriefingTimeout
just read the wiki
and set it up
So, will this system kick headless clients?
no reports yet
@agile scarab yes it will. But that is already fixed on #perf_prof_branch
Salut

Hello, is there anyone in here that is familiar with the mod "RHSUSAF", I have a few questions.
Nope never heard of it
@mossy kettle
RHS has no public discord. go to #arma3_questions and post your question there. smb might be able to help
Oh, thank you!
@harsh depot
#looking_for_game
whats with the zeus getting kicked automatically thing in public zeus?
i mean by the server
Oh yeah that is the new timeout kick thing. It is a really bad idea/implementation and caused havoc tonight. We had to set it all to 9999 in the config to stop it wrecking our slot up. Been a tonne of complaints about it already, BI is sticking to its guns and giving us no way to just disable it.
Howdy
Yo everyone
... called CDLC
i wouldn't do that, but i would buy GM
then don't
nobody is forcing you
cool story bro
correct me if I'm wrong audiocustoms, but isn't Bohemia scheduled to be looking over the first GM patch tomorrow?
as i said, cool story bro
now take it to the right channel
#global_mobilization
you're forgetting that alot of the quality mods got money from bohemia because of the make arma not war contest
as i said, move your rant to the appropriate channel like #global_mobilization or even #creator_dlc_discussion and please stop polluting #general_chat_arma
thank you
COUGHconsideringtheGMCWGdevelopersdayjobsCOUGH They're not amateurs, let's put it that way
and monetization
anyone can host a rp server
just rip some mods from the workshop create a fast scenario
There's a reason why a bunch of these servers are flat-out banned from running some mods
Who said anything about BI? (Disclosure: I was the go-between for someone who donated their content to CUP under the understanding that no one else would get to make money off of that)
you're forgetting that this content has other methods of making money
so what do you want now? do you need some tissues? because your rant achieves nothing here...
Steam Reviews 😂
and?
if you say so
i agree that the content isn't finished but you're also forgetting that they've been working on this for a few years now without getting paid
Whats his point @tranquil bay ?
one can olny guess @feral reef
¯_(ツ)_/¯
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Read the steam reviews for the new paid mods lul I already learned from other games not to do this for any game, not when people will use the targeted game or DLC as a proxy for whatever else the commenter was complaining about 🤷
🤦
steam reviews are as useful and informative as reddit posts and fox news
See: Borderlands 3
¯_(ツ)_/¯
What are you trying to achieve by sprouting your stuff in here?
his point = "mom got made because dayz didn't get refunded"
his point = "mom got made because dayz didn't get refunded"
😂
i repeat what dscha asked
what's your point
so
And?
ok, byebye...
leave if you don't like it
And because of that, you kinda rant around?
Thats kinda childish
@tranquil bay I think his Fav word is "cope"
¯_(ツ)_/¯
my fav word is
Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz
rp servers as one of the quality free content
pfaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahaROFL
@tranquil bay Up for some LifeRP later? I know some pretty good Servers. Only 95% of it was stolen from others.
checks his list of life server DMCA takedowns: over 1200 by now
🤦
thanks for the offer @feral reef , but i'd rather eat olives. and i HATE olives
btw @primal latch , can i haz your puddlemap? i has nu idea foa lifemap! We can makes many $$$$!!!!!1111
it'S tasty

So seeking attention like a little baby crying?
Im spitting straight facts
alternative facts maybe
The sand is nice
No hate, just curious what type of adhd you have*, that you seek attention so hard ¯_(ツ)_/¯
nah, BIs ass is warmer than sand
waits for optimization and AI comments
PHYSXXXXXXXXXXXX
Why are you talking then?
oh, he's bringing the big guns now
meh, enough of that attentionseeker. Time to watch some hentai with guns and Tanks and Tentacles.
Of course.
@tranquil bay ❤ ziehja
nah I mean dlc
(btw: Stop feeding the troll)
ok, the troll has been fed enough
here, have some tissues
i'm off for some sleep and wet arma CDLC dreams

@feral reef Did somebody say Hentai with guns and tanks and tentacles?
*4:30
is it a new thing that you can now lean while deploying your weapon or has it always been like that?
it's a bit weird too because unlike the regular lean, deployed weapon lean does tilt the whole camera
so I was wondering if that's a bug
I'm guessing it's a bug specially cause when you lean doing so your barrel is literally buried in the surface you're deploying it at (and bullets will just hit said surface and never reach any target)
First I've heard of it... does the 'game UI' crosshair change to reflect the new point of impact?
erm, i think so
iirc, when there was a wall infront of you, it would change it's size a little bit.
eh, haven't checked that as I play without crosshair, will check tmr after college
but yeh, I was surprised cause I don't remember that ever being possible, unsure of ever trying it before tho, noticed cause I did lean a bit at first as I moved my head to reach a bottle (I use trackIR)
would send a ss of the leaning result, but I can't send pics on this channel and don't wanna report it yet in case it's a known bug or something as to not generating duplicates
also happens both with or without bipod
now that I talk about track IR there's also no limit for the vertical angle till your head is backwards and upside down either by looking up or down till you reach that point, will be reporting these 2 issues if it's not known bugs
Ah, btw:
is it a new thing that you can now lean while deploying your weapon or has it always been like that?
Ha! I just remembered: That was always possible with TrackIR!
(at least for 3-4 Years or so)
Thinking about making a campaign where some surviving crew from the a Nimitz fights off a zombie infection and russians
Anyone got an good recommendations for a map?
Something with good CQC in some areas
I guess it's not supposed to take place aboard the Nimitz?
Cherna lol
hey, what happened to CHKillroy?
just curious.
I use to love his content ❤ ❤ ❤ 😃
@opal nacelle no i was thinking about does something aboard the helicopter carrier since it has a lot of static vehicles decorating the inside, could for concealing zombies
I remember AI pathfinding being broken inside the LSV
So you might want to check that out
!purgeban @limber spear 1d inappropriate behavior
*fires them railguns at @limber spear* Ò_Ó
True, i also need to find a way to make vehicles not so OP
Like some kind a way a zombie could kill one or some kind of alien idk
Just place IEDs and obstructions on the roads like junk barricades and hedgehogs
So they are less inclined to use vehicles
Also if you add bandits etc. During firefights you can damage the fuel tank of their vehicles (if they are standard civie vehicles)
Anyone know of a type of alien invasion mod?
wth
Hello
hii
@barren pendant wth what?
just bought ArmA 3 and joined this server (Havent even booted up the game). Recommendations, if any?
#info_help_tips Post 23 has some getting started guides. Also don't try to ping everyone.
what?
The channel #info_help_tips has numbered posts. Post number 23 contains the getting started guide recommendations you asked for. You should go there and read them.
when i try to use my UAV terminal in a tank the player automatucally turns out
why is this happening?
it was never like this before
bug?
key mapping?
mjy turn out keyts are already unbound
Can I get an F in chat. Playing Arma 3 and wanted one of my men to move behind a tree so I look using alt and press F4 not realizing it at the time.
Alt+F4 only works when some UI is on the screen, not while you control your character (smart move from BI btw)
I love BI
Lol
then it is action menu only, unless you want to script your way through
is the new DLC worth the 20$
some say yes, some say no, i say yes
@marble oyster im going next year with my caravan ^^
@marble oyster a few Arma developers did once
and ended up in prison...pretty sure ivan is not spending any of his future vacations in sunny greece
@tight forge I remember that two core developers were arrested by the greek military
A friend of mine was at Lemnos
And brought some tourist's maps as gifts to the community
You ladies are confusing Lemnos (large island) with small one, where is only military
on large island, going on vacation is all good
just don't take photographs of military bases 😄
you really must love Altis ...
well, as I said 17 hours ago, just bought ArmA 3, played the bootcamp and the first VR training ('Till the Advanced Helicopter training, that thing is annoying as hell) and I'm loving the game just for the mechanics.
Welcome aboard @urban sluice!
no advertising! says the channel description
(post that sort of thing in #videos_arma)
ok
But only if it's arma
@candid mesa i maded it by abusing autohover A LOT
How come ArmA hasn't gotten the Discord verification yet?
"complicated legal stuff"
oi oi oi
Must be about the "Verified Server Moderation Guidelines" 😃
The other stuff is pretty straight forward
yes exactly that
I am curious to know what's conflicting with the existing guidelines of this server, to an extend where they choose not to adapt, but I am too lazy to read that doc myself! 😄
I think there was a "need a email address where you can respond to inquirys within 48 hours"
Which is simply not possible because BI staff might take vacations or.. well... weekends.
Its much easier for them to keep it "not officially official" than to have to comply with all the requirements surrounding it.
Yeah obviously. the Discord community might not be worth the hassle I guess. The community managers might have hundreds of channels to manage.
On a sidenote
Did you know that Tenor is owned by Google? 😃
guess thats off-topic, sorry
I remember that two core developers were arrested by the greek military which was nigh-explicitly where Altis got its name
lol this is the first time i ever looked up Lamnos on Google maps
How weird it feels to recognize and know it better than my own country...... It feels.... like.... home
and the pictures hehehe ❤
Limnos/Lemnos
So have the new DLC been added to KoTH, Warlords etc for some epic MP experiences?
No
After reviewing Global Mobilization (and due to how the DLC restrictions work). We aren’t going to be moving forward with the use of its assets (weapons & vehicles) at this time. However we are reviewing the map itself.
https://twitter.com/ArmaKOTH/status/1124657780063969280
TBH a bit odd to use the map and not the assets
Whoever will own the map will own the assets 🤷
I understand that the Global Mobilization developers have discussed with Bohemia Interactive the possibility of having GM instead work Apex-style with an optional download (the usual paywall for guns/vehicles plus 'all or nothing' to play the SP campaign or on servers running Weferlingen & its winter variant, but the assets being a free download separate from the base game)... but of course: no promises
Incidentally, speaking of said assets, Boberro linked a "Global-Mobilization Terrain Asset Image Repository" over on the GM Discord; for example you can find the path, P3D filename, and config classname for each of the two church structures' 'regular' and winter versions, plus the rubble... ditto for road signage, benches, lampsets, vegetation, bushes, and river/pond models & classenames
hmm sad news about not going to be played with koth
I guess a Warlord map wouldnt be out of the question, at least as a community server
that would rock
instead of the OP gear we know from vanilla 😄
Keeping in mind that that's at this time regarding the weapons and vehicles
yeah
Hmm is Warlords dead? - it shows me only 41 pretty much empty servers, with only two of them officials :S
hmm think my server browser is screwed - according to #warlords_discussion it seems pretty active 😃
Hello, i got a problem, i don't see the oppsition mod on the steam workshop but people told me that was a star wars mod in arma 3. Can someone help me ? ( sorry for my english, i'm not good because i'm french ^^)
Star Wars mods are banned from the workshop
Oh, if its not a problem to speak about that, why this mod are banned from the workshop ?
afaik Lucasfilm Licensing doesn't take well to Star Wars mods
Yeah. Disney or lucasfilm or something doesn’t allow it
thank you for the information !
@urban sluice [no advertising!] (channel description). put the link in #videos_arma
yeehaw
who else runs -3 LOD Bias for extra crispy graphics
?
ohoh, kids playing with fire again
🔥
This dude has posted an invite somewhere and has apparently removed it 😄
Unfortunately I didn't have my dashcam operational
Hmm yes it also explains where my message has gone too
it would be #arma3_troubleshooting for you
take uav controls is a turn out button now
Um what?
You've said this multiple times but I haven't any idea what you're talking about
place a uav, connect it to your terminal. go into a rhino, take uav controls. release uav controls and youre somehow magically sticking out the tank
vanilla, done through scroll menu
@urban sluice
if it's a bug, check the tracker for already existing ticket(s). if not, create a new ticket...
https://feedback.bistudio.com/w/ft_a3_howto/
also this https://feedback.bistudio.com/T128199, and ai barely following commands in a rhino
such a broken vehicle
¯_(ツ)_/¯
i doubt the devs even read that stuff
seeing bugs from 2018 getting fixed a year later
nope
no ticket, no problem...
i dont even remember my login tbh
15k players but 14.9k players are trying to start a new group with their own server
Exaggeration, but, many people play singleplayer/editor & private servers. Remaining few all cluster#%&@ into the biggest servers like KOTH and such.
AI still can't drive properly...
Was making a mission on Tanoa with Apex assets, they drive a few hundred metres and then get stuck behind a tree on a shallow turn
Even tried moving the waypoint about using Zeus, with limited results
yeah, never rely on vanilla AI driving in any reasonable way
I had actually stopped making missions or playing Arma for a few months because of this
ooh okay then
i've tried several times to get into mission making and what not
but gave up early every time
any good tutorials for mission making you guys can recommend ?
link in #arma3_scenario
theres a cheater in US #1 E and some people arent voting to kick (he has alot of his friends (cheater) in the server, they're all french)
if you guys ever see tabone in future warlords games (if hes french) then hes a cheater, hes running around naked and was shot by a navid with about 10-20 bullets point blank and did not die and he just killed everyone in the server at the same time and disconnected
justa heads up for you all
i have a screenshot of him admitting to hacking also
there is a guys named "tabone" and he using a hack or script or idnk that cus every one on both side get killed by explosive or direct shot in the same time. he destroying every warlords game in US and EU servers and well admins here do nothing after all that report 😃 nice
i do admit admins for warlords do fuck all, they decide to let the players deal with cheaters even after they can join back once the game is over, or if it doesnt get enough votes cause they have alot of friends in, admins need to step their game up and deal with these idiots
"oh theres a guy nonstop blowing you up and he has 6 of his friends in the lobby blocking the vote kick? well ahh, just vote to kick him!"
BIS can't have someone watching over all official servers all the time.
thats why they hire admins or recruit them
private servers do a hell of a better job cracking down on cheaters than the entire BIS team
private servers are not free and public servers are not BI's core job 👀 there is that.
thats why i said they need to hire admins? i just spoke to an admin in game, he was talking thru the console chat and we spoke about it (about active admins enforcing rules) and they said that they let players deal with it
or well he said, not 'they' said
they need to hire admins that enforce, as in ban cheaters instead of standing by letting players deal with it watching from afar
(i was talking to an admin in the official warlords server btw)
if they wanted to put more effort in it yes; what I meant was that it is quite unlikely for a free service
buy a game
game is mostly ran by the community instead of the actual devs
servers have to use mods to make the game half functional
Bohemia Interactive introduces a WarLords DLC
literally makes servers and doesn't enforce them whatsoever leaving the player base to deal with cheaters instead of the devs dealing with them themselves
people complain about cheaters
BI does nothing
It's not the fact they're doing nothing, they haven't got enough data to make any changes.
i dont know about that
Servers don't have to use mods to make the game half functional.
Aside from that, all BI can really do is run BattlEye updates.
i spoke with an admin the other day and he was talking to me thru the console chat, like he wasnt in the game
im sure theres a way they could deal with them, softban them from the serer or something
It's been less than 2 weeks, what data would you say they have?
what do you mean less than 2 weeks
im pretty sure player reports and screenshots are enough data to report a cheater
i have a guy literally admitting to cheating then aimbotting the entire server
guess what happened to him?
absolutely nothing
he keeps coming back
BE Will catch it.
yeah, the question is when
It's like this with every multiplayer game ever.
no no
you can report people and get them banned faster
i mean yeah you're right
but there are report forums for a reason
for the simple fact there are battleye bypasses
The only thing BI/BE Can do at this point is introduce invasive protocols such as scanning for specific Hardware ID's when a user gets banned.
Or as an extremely time-consuming effort, scout the servers and ban any/all that are accused of cheating. But having said that, you can't ban someone because you think they're cheating. You need to be 100% Sure and have the evidence to back it up.
I'm not saying the person you encountered wasn't cheating but at the same time, it's not efficient to "Dick about on servers looking for cheaters".
Is why software was implemented, to save time and a lot of money.
i literally said i have evidence
hell multiple people do
i mean if they're gonna run servers on their watch at least keep the server safe on their watch
I Agree.
every single day cheaters join hell one joined earlier and spammed a nazi sign everywhere on the map
thats exaggeration
not everywhere
it was over the base
😛
aimbot everyone, spam nazi signs, etc
all the people want is something done by behomia to at least try to intercept these cheaters, because scripting a battleye bypass isnt hard, hell scripting cheats arent hard IF you know what you are doing, i just want something done cause its starting to not get fun, more cheaters come in by the day , i love arma, but fuck man
its ridiculous
you can try guess who is already banned but w/e
any arma1 players here?
hi folks. totally newbie baby here. if i wanna get started with arma 3 are there any DLCs required to be part of the community?
No dlc's are required but it greatly improves the experience
i wanna get into tactical shooters with realistic scenarios. im waffling between arma and squad (i dont wanna start no civil war)
i know arma is where i wanna end up, it's just...a lot more complicated
one is small scale, one is very large scale (but can also be played small scale)
Arma being the large scale
yeah ive always been a planner, a thinker...i often read manuals more than i play the game. im in the IT field so getting it all to work is no problem, and i have a good PC
Squad has always felt tacky and wants to appeal more to FPS crowd
Yeah. Despite squad being moddable. Arma has far more gamemodes
The nice thing about Arma is that you can pretty much make it how you want it.
ok so teach me, what do i need at bare bones to get started
A willingness to learn
Play the VR tutorials :)
you can point me to guides or videos, whatever
Just play the SP content first
VR tuts, showcases, training/bootcamp/campaign
VR Tutorials, VR Arsenal (and Garage) and the Editor
Once you have those under your belt, everything will start to make sense
The biggest barrier for new players is just how different it is. Think Simple Planes vs DCS
yeah
It really is that big of a difference
well, to be honest the last shooters i played were back in the 90s, quake and unreal tournament
lol
but im into sims, im into methodical
heh right
yeah, I'm that old
me too 😃 im 42
45
actually zork and the gold boxes were a tiny bit before my time...the gold boxes only ran on nice PCs, i had an amiga
but i did play the ultimas on appleII/amiga
are there groups kinda in the middle between, KOTH shitfests and the serious milsim squads that i wont be a part of for months?
squad game seems like it kinda sits in the middle
im full of FUD!
Many Arma communities like that
@obtuse knot VR Arsenal/Garage = you can try out any number of weapons/clothing/gear and vehicles (note: aircraft will have default loadouts only)... DLC ones included
Arma 4: Medieval Warfare.... 😉
followed by Arma 5: Rome 😉 😉
followed by Arma 6: Atilla 😉 😉 😉
if you go into the Editor you can still try out weapons/clothing/gear and vehicles -- including editing the loadouts of aircraft -- and can put yourself into different situations (e.g. air-to-air combat against a 'live' AI opponent) but will run into some DLC restrictions which do not apply in VR Arsenal/Garage (other than, you know, said restrictions only being 'lifted' in Arsenal/Garage)
can't pick up a dropped DLC weapon, can't get back into the crew seat of a DLC vehicle (passenger seats are fine), and if you stick around DLC contents long enough you'll start getting ahem notifications in-game
@jaunty whale screaming frog noises
Whilst Arma has a learning curve which can discourage players, if you bear through the basic SP stuff, then try adventuring into the editor and multiplayer, you'll have to discover what you enjoy and progress
It's a thoroughly enjoyable game once you overcome the initial hurdle
didnt I say that? 😉
im gonna start trying with squad folks...im mostly concerned with the community and training opportunities over there
so if i dont get anywhere, i'll be back and take it like a man
if nothing else it'll get me used to combat and tactics
then i can graduate to the show
i also took the engine into consideration; as a newbie i was a bit concerned about fighting with the software. i figured i might have an easier time sliding into things with squad
also dont have to worry about mods and such
i feel like my heart wants arma ❤ but my brain is saying, take it one step at a time with squad 🤕
if you want to learn arma you need to play arma
your argument is like saying "i'll learn how to sail a boat by practicing with a helicopter" 😛 that's not really going to get you anywhere
(even though squad is a good game, so if you like it props to you)
Ellu im new to the the game (getting it next week) any tips?
@gloomy nest well both require knowledge of wind and liquid mechanics, so...
you're not wrong
@wraith stream https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Getting_Started
ty
TL;DR: The Tutorials main menu option has three of the basic four 'how to play' elements
Tutorials -> VR Training goes a bit more in-depth with a narrower range of topics but it's very explicitly training-wheels while Singleplayer -> Showcases means 'live' missions with hint pop-ups but a wider variety of topics
For example, VR Training has no jet tutorial... for that you either play Showcase: Fixed-Wings or if you have the Jets DLC you can try Showcase: Fighter Jets
and Tutorials -> Virtual Arsenal/Garage is exactly what it hopefully sounds like
Looking for people to play Arma 3 with?
What was the point in that @fervent rapids ?
alright who tryin to teach me how to not be a shit CAS pilot
there is no "teaching", just trial and error, practice and "git gud"
and, depending on who you play with, understanding what a 9liner is...
hmm ok
9 liner Is what will be called over radio by a 1ic normally for when a soldier is injured and may/may not need a evac. You shouldn't need to know if you a going cas jet
CAS also uses 9 liners, or used to in the past
https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/policy/army/fm/1-114/figg-4.gif
ha, back to the old days where I had to learn meaning of CAS 9 liner lines to play DCS
Dont think ive ever needed a 9 liner in arma 3
And in DCS it pretty much handles it for you
as i said, depending on who you play with. we used it for cas and (med)evac in my old unit, and only the JTAC / FAC was allowed to order cas. but sure, there are not a lot of units who play the game in this detail. many are just like "yo birdy, drop it on the red mark asap", hoping the unit clown didn't mark the own position and cas drops a JDAM on it
Hey
hi
I am planning to buy arma once I get a new PC
But I am wonder what specs I need to run the game well.
that's a bit of a loaded question tbh
frankly, the two most important aspects are a high performance CPU and a SSD
move it over to #hardware_vs_arma though, people there are actually uh
good at explaining that in depth
"CAS also uses 9 liners, or used to in the past" still does. Atleast my units JTAC's know it by heart.
we all agree a 10 liner is a i.e.d?
my bad mate just thought it was a general question about arma as i wasn't sure thanks for seeing me straight mate, posted it in scripting 👍
actually should i of posted it in aks question ?
@cerulean tulip As I just told you. no crossposting.
Answering my warning about that by instead also crossposting in #arma3_questions is not a clever move.
I won't repeat myself again.
i posted a question in ask question???
ahhh shit my bad i posted it in scripting
if i delete it out scripting then ded am i okay to post it in questions ?
yes
Search the for the wise words of @opal nacelle on this very channel!
@calm harbor do tutorial and campaign?
More specifically 'search for where Chortles mentions Arsenal, or Garage, or Showcases, or VR Training, or Tutorials in general' 😄
TL;DR: Tutorials from the main menu has:
- VR Training: in-depth but somewhat narrow topic range, and overtly hand-holding,
- Virtual Arsenal/Garage: try out all clothing, gear, weapons, and vehicles, including DLC except Global Mobilization for now
- Bootcamp: mini-campaign (aka Singleplayer -> Campaigns -> Prologue) which is basically 'how to move and shoot'
Besides that, - Singleplayer -> Showcases: has a wider range of topics than VR Training but they're all 'live' missions with hint pop-ups
- Singleplayer -> Editor: place down the asset you want to try and hit Play; more variety of situations (e.g. AI shooting back) than in Arsenal/Garage, but you'll run into DLC restrictions if you drop a DLC weapon, get out of a DLC vehicle (crew seat), try to connect to a DLC 'Autonomous' system/Drone (e.g. remote turret or UAV), and get pop-ups from staying around a DLC asset long enough
Breathing underwater attracts me, but I wanna fly through the air to skip traffic jams. By the way, it sounds very fun but I'm afraid of heights and when I'm at high places my knees start shaking.
in japanese question is different
🤔
positive points though, because this time, I think for the first time, you know who this person is after reading the interview
He is literally the mod translation specialist. So missunderstanding that seems weird
nah, they put wrong question
I already knew his name because he literally translates all the mods
in japanese he got asked if he'd prefer to be able to fly or to breath underwater
Yeah, the original question in Japanese below that, is entirely different
Why even ask in japanese? his english is very good
Unless he is just using a very good translator but I doubt it
It's probably because they use the same template questions to ask everyone, and this time it changed, but they didn't change the English one
@urban sluice im always confused
when people refer to campaign
what are they actually refering to ?

Is Werferlingen ever gonna get an airfield?
Anyone know if thats being worked on?
They might convert the eh.. highway to one.
Don't remember any confirmation that they will add one though
I saw someone on r/arma turned the autobahn into a makeshit air strip
Lol
Then it will look like an Italian highway
Alright thanks
Don't forget your backup earplugs when you go into combat
Dynamic airport?
an invisible object that does to planes the same an invisible helipad does to helicopters, "show" an AI a landing zone
I believe that Lou Montana and Quiksilver were both referring to this? https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Dynamic_Airport_Configuration
there's some legend with over 22K hours in arma, guess it's a dev or something cause else that's mad insane
Bear in mind that hours literally mean nothing. Anyone can leave their launcher open to accumulate hours.
Such as those who host servers from their game rather than the server executable
Yup, hours accumulated do not equal hours played.
i got global mobilization now
well gg with the electricity bill then
Are there any good armor plate mods like AAPM
on the official warlords server, you guys should give blufor the 2nd airfiield up north, because we (opfor) have a northern airfield and a southern airfield and blufor only have a southern airfield (excluding main airfield as its in the center of the map)
The landing strip is too short for the AI to land safely. I will probably add it back for helicopters though.
yes yes yes please
i dont play on blufor i play on opfor but opfor having 2 landing strips and blu only having 1 is a little unfair lol so please do so when you get the chance
Does anyone know if it is possible to have bullets etc mid air for screenshots?
Like red bolts or blue etc
You can get tracers mid-air for screenshots, but non-tracers are completely invisible.
You can however, spawn fake bullets that just hang there specifically for screenshots. You'll have to find the relevant mods/howto yourself or in a more relevant #channel.

Hey guys I need help how do I improve standing with civilians in KP liberation Malden
Dm me please
heal them when they are wounded, and don't destroy their houses
Is that all I can do?
Like this sounds bad but can I shoot them then heal them?
Without killing them?? @hearty island
Also I’m using ace healing so will I have to fully heal them?
"can I shoot them then heal them?" 😂
With ace you heal civilians the same way as vanilla, via scroll whell action.
Just need to have ace bandages so you can heal them.
And no, you can't shoot them to heal them. You get more reputation for healing civilians that are hurt after sector capture (they are in violet circles in sector area).
Are RHS on the way to get a DLC too btw?
Arent RHS and GM in the same kind time frame
Why would that matter though?
Matters if they are ever to be rolled out on mods like koTH
CDLC's don't all have to be in the same timeframe
and they can't be anything that is already freely available
so there will be no "RHS" DLC with the same stuff that the free version already has
And they cant just remove the original RHS and be fine with that?
no...
I am all for the new type of DLCs, to give the creators some money, but i fear it will never come in to play on the server that matters, to me at least 😃
That’d be community suicide
That'd be RHS reputation suicide and nonsense as anyone can get all the stuff that's already free without buying the DLC
Naw they auto set to low
ouch, and yes that will lower the FPS obviously
If autodetection doesn't want to give you anything higher than low.. Then setting them to ultra is probably a bad idea
the higher settings the higher the PC requirements
I mean the gear on the players look shit for me
that is the price you pay for not having a PC that can handle the higher settings
tbh better to have low settings and have 60+ FPS than to have eye candy
Just try out setting it to high and see what happens?
Well Idk why but when I’m on campaign I get 40-60 FPS but on Altis life servers I get 7-20 FPS with very little stutter
@sharp ore what kind of resolution are you running ArmA in?
1360x768 my monitor is old af
geeez
Wait could it be I get stutter and low FPS on altis servers because of the amount of players and objects
yeah running arma and a local campiagn is more easier on the PC than running a network game, specially servers with many players
could also be the server that has a crappy FPS
Try it out.
if you are satisfied with the FPS
Try out adjusting your setting and see what happens
And then choose whatever you are happy with
@sharp ore GT 710 is probably below Arma 3's minium requirements. Definitely below recommended.
(and even if it meets minimum requirements, well then that's how it's going to run)
But with that GPU I don't imagine you'll get decent visuals above 720p
#hardware_vs_arma for more
(also CPU and SSD matter as well)
@quartz magnet no it meets minimum and this gpu goes up to 1080p
I’m up to 70+ FPS now I fixed it
yeah just because a GPU "goes up to resolution x" doesn't necessarily mean it can render stuff smoothly beyond a certain quality
Yea ik
I can run Arma 3 on integrated graphics too
?
it's not very pretty but it runs 😄
Mine is not integrated
i know
Kk
Also once I went to another server my frames went up
But I still get a little stutter
Yeah, it depends on the mission: some multiplayer missions rely mostly on the player and thus decrasing your framerate by a lot
Any clue how to fix the stutter
stutter will usually be because of streaming textures from the HDD
so if you use an SSD then that will improve it
So really SSD + 12+ GB of RAM will go a long way to fixing it
and DDR4 for even better results
I have 8gb of ddr4 ram but not a ssd
I recently realised that 8GB isn't enough for maps like Tanoa at least (even then i need to lower textures to high/very high)
And it starts to stutter a lot once system RAM use exceeds 90-95%
but yeah this is deep in #hardware_vs_arma territory at this point 😄
Kk
Thanks
After testing out all my settings I found that I’m going have to get used to that little sttuter
@hearty island
I have a question

Was afk :u

Am prepared
Ok
Because it puts some of my settings to standard then once I set those to low I get more FPS

Hi. So I am having problems with the unitplay script. Can anyone give me a guide later on?
created for air vehicles 👀
Yes, and after I created the files and did exactly everything in the YouTube videos and recorded and saved the path, I hit Radio Bravo and the AI does nothing
¯_(ツ)_/¯
the only official and supported documentation is the biki!
@clear light if you are a troll, try harder. If you are a willing member, delete this.
I gotcha.
probably same reason for both
Which is why?
Unlawful usage of intellectual property yes
that too
Haha
(j/k, obviously)
anyone pls help me how to setup BRC or DART
@blazing sky Randomly messaging random people that are online also counts as spam.
Also you violated #rules number 9 by crossposting between #server_tools and here. Delete one of the messages. And stop PM'ing random people just because they are online
I'm gonna go sleep now. I want to see that crosspost be gone when I wake up.
@clear light what are you speaking of?
dm me?
Yeah, who was stealing what intellectual property?
@clear light the heck? I tried DMing you and it says I don't see a server with you...
Just accept my fr then
your settings are weird
It’s because you have DM set to friends only
@clear light just removed that

SW Opposition used assets from movies and stuff I assume, but if they're developing a newer mod by making their own, is that still illegal? And how so? I thought mods could use content from other IPs, like Skyrim does?
Not only in relation to opposition, but other mods in general, too. Like Mass Effect
That sucks
I m doing the SP mission tipping point, AI walks 500m north somewhere, I killed all enemies, but mission wont' end
is there anything I can do?!
The very least thing you have to do is to ask for permission to use assets. No matter if those assets are from games, other mods, movies and so on. If you dont get the permission or dont ask for it, you can face legal actions against you with the best case just to have delete public access to that content.
You have to go everywhere
I killed them all already
Oof
but nothing happens
idk then
Yeah its tough
I just saw some youtube fellers playin it
and thought huh that looks neato
then i learned that shit is illegal
Isn't our world just great where we can't even craft our own mod for free and let fans enjoy it?
whats up
people mad that opposition is illegal
@dark peak I m trying just to do the agia marina SP, but ai walks somewhere XD ... is constantly bug lol
@keen tundra ...alright
I hope they fix it lol
use vcom ai mod @keen tundra
that too
agia marina is the last mission where you got to go on boats
you got to clear this small part of the village
but my AI just walks north 500m to extraction point I think, but they are just standing there
Yeah, they are dumb
That's why I want to do unit capture and unitplay for videos or general scenarios but I can't figure out why unitplay won't work
@short phoenix use #communities_arma3
does
reinfoce script generally freeze game
reinforce*
game spawning squad in within 200m
Maybe if they spawn 300 AI at the same time but other than that, I don't think it freezes the game.
i got lots of errors during evaluation of expression type._enabled
each time reinforcement is called
Spawns certainly do cause momentary freezes in the game in multiplayer, everytime we load dynamic stuff in mission it stutters for a few seconds. It is usually not obvious with just a single group but you start spawning objects and multiple groups and waypoints and such and the game definitely stutters for a bit while it does it.
so if group fo 6-7 soldiers causes lag for minutes it means those soldier are too highly detailed or too many mods for search codex?
Potato computer probably
Does anyone know how long does it take for a AIM-145 DEFENDER missile to explode?Like if it doesn't hit anything,the self destruct thingy should activate yes?
Just asking cuz whenever i just fire them into the sky my computer lags so badly
no sure what is potato these days but i do have 16gb ram, installed on SSD, GTX 1050TI, FX6300 OC to 4.4Ghz.
Oh hey another 1050TI friendo
so if group fo 6-7 soldiers causes lag for minutes it means those soldier are too highly detailed or too many mods for search codex?
you spawn then locally (as in SP mission) or is it a MP mission
in any case, detail of the mesh doesn't matter
unless you spawn then right in front of your face
Lan MP server me playing alone and it was spawned by script in Dynamic recon ops
when you spawn anything that has AI involved, it takes a fraction to actually activate that AI behaviour
it has nothing to do with the mesh whatsoever
in Virtual Aresenal (testing area) i can use zeus spawn squad of 20 and it is instant or 1s
not sure about the number of mods you are using, so that is something i cannot comment on
can you be more precise regarding what you are actually spawning?
Mass effect Reaper squad
i cannot comment on ripped content, no idea how that shit is made
39mods installed which of 3 is locally
if out of those 39 mods, 38 are composed out of ripped content injected into arma by people who cannot tie their own shoelaces, then well, there might be an issue
if you can spawn the same way vanilla content
without issues, then yes, it is "mod" related
what are considered ripped content mods?
if you can call mods a bunch of 3d meshes gathered together from various places
(also Star Wars and Mass Effect mods)
Mass Effect is ripped
So, if you insist on using stolen content, you can ask those questions somewhere else.
ripped content = 3d models that have been reverese engineered in various ways from various other games
"ripping" means taking content (usually 3D model) from another game and putting it into another, obviously without the owner's permission.
are CuP, RHS
lol
@fossil ermine you ninja'd me 👀
well if it case in sci-fi / fantasy mods then i have less than 5 ripped mods xd
CUP is using most of ArmA2 content release by BI + various bespoke content
RHS is using a few ArmA2 content that has been worked on a lot, although the vast majority of content is bespoke and made specifically for this particular engine
okay then hapilly i can say almost all my mods are not ripped xd
So, if you insist on using stolen content, you can ask those questions somewhere else. Literally, if you're going to use stolen content, go somewhere else. @summer kettle
installed to my arma 3* not my property or anything xd
well if it case in sci-fi / fantasy mods then i have less than 5 ripped mods xd
what you need to understand is that most of this type of content is injected into A3 by people who have no ducking clue about modding (or mesh optimization, LODs, configs) to begin with.
It could be a single of these mods you are using, your are bound to have issues with it simply because of the way that stuff got its way into A3
also, do not expect any sort of help in relation people who consider theft is fine, be it "modders" or users of said mods
Test in vanilla is the best bet to rule out mods as the issue.
i do not wish to go into politics @finite relic i came here with a actual problem not discuss F politics, i can say as for fact i am not doing nothing illegal. and what comes into moral side better not discuss that either.
lol, it isn't politics
This is not politics, this is the rules of this Discord
there are rules on official discord
If you're going to discuss stolen content, leave#
if you cannot follow them, you will get the 🔨
lol
in any case you got the answer - use shit content = expect shit experience
i was just discussing of problem what i got and who was it who pry into what exactly?
You have that problem BECAUSE of the stolen content.
It could be a single of these mods you are using, your are bound to have issues with it simply because of the way that stuff got its way into A3```
I can say for a fact I am not doing nothing illegal

Hi, im not sure if i want to buy arma 3 so can i ask some questions?
ask away 🤔
If i buy the game, and nothing else, does that mean i cant join some of the muliplayer servers? Like takistan or the Irish version servers?
You'll have to install the modpacks that the server uses
Some of the servers will have their modpacks on the steam workshop or some will have it on another program called Arma3Sync
A lot of servers are mod-free though
Awesome so it mean i dont need Apex or other Dlc?
only apex limits your ability to join servers, but that's only if the server's using the apex map (tanoa)
and then there's also the community dlc
that needs it's stuff too
awaesome thank you im gonna buy the game today or tommor
Community DLC = Global Mobilization - Cold War Germany for now, more may come later
Just bought the game. Hope its worth it. Didnt get the DLC's yet. If i cant play then im gonna get a refund. lmk whats up
🤔
if noone plays without the DLC i just mainly wanna know if i wasted my money. Not that hard to understand
the thing is
the dlc's are entirely optional
if you're not specializing in whatever dlc you're using, it's not really needed
the community dlc is if you want to play in cold war germany, and apex is basically just a bunch of new gear
Hope the games as good as it looks also
it is, if your pc can handle it 😉
well....about a couple weeks ago i dropped a little over 2k into my PC. Im 100% sure it can handle it at ultra x1000
