Fire up the launcher, filter by "Altis"

@neon epoch Want me to test out that no lag?

sleek mauve May 30, 2019, 9:05 AM

#

Oof slow mode eh? What did I miss?

true sand May 30, 2019, 9:07 AM

#

Pop onto Warlords while it's at near max players in the mid game. I don't get lag but I have an 860 Evo SSD that is fantastic along with 24 gigs of ddr4 RAM.

neon epoch May 30, 2019, 9:08 AM

#

@finite relic yea but good for my pc like no fps drop

#

@true sand wdym? I dont belive i dont get lag

true sand May 30, 2019, 9:09 AM

#

Well if you want to test out if you do or not during a major operation go onto a Warlords server that is at near full pop

@grand niche Thanks for the link! 😃

Quick question: I'm not very caught up with arma 3 as of late, is there a release date for the contact dlc?

gusty locust May 30, 2019, 10:59 AM

#

25 July iirc

sinful basin May 30, 2019, 11:02 AM

#

ah, ok, thanks 😃

rose vortex May 30, 2019, 11:53 AM

#

is there any way of hiding just the loaded magazine round counter on weapon info without using ace? wanted to add some challenge by not knowing the rounds on my mag, so I hid the weapon info, even tho it also hides your remaining mag count, which is not THAT bad since you can check on inventory, but there IS an issue when trying to throw a grenade cause I don't know which one I'm throwing unless I remember which the order in which they cycle

#

so I tried to toss a smoke nade and instead I used a frag

urban sluice May 30, 2019, 12:07 PM

#

You could try the intermediate with weaponInfo=1 which hides it most of the time and will only appear when you switch the grenade or firing mode. If this is just self imposed then that stops idly checking at least.

hearty island May 30, 2019, 12:07 PM

#

Afaik ACE hides all the elements via script

#

so you can do that too probably

#

find the display and control. and hide it

urban sluice May 30, 2019, 12:08 PM

#

But I think you also probably want the ACE check for magazine weight as well when you go this way because without it becomes tricky to determine how many rounds there are in the current mag

hearty island May 30, 2019, 12:09 PM

#

Can always open your inventory and look at the indicator on the magazine icon

rose vortex May 30, 2019, 12:19 PM

#

yeah, that's the option I had till now, the fading one, but I started to check ammo by keeping on switching firing mode unconsciously

tacit crescent May 30, 2019, 2:20 PM

#

@urban sluice wait, thats illeagle

urban sluice May 30, 2019, 2:20 PM

@urban sluice have your read our #rules ?

urban sluice May 30, 2019, 2:22 PM

#

koth is the only thing i enjoy in this game but its not fun without money

#

and im not about to sit in objective afk for hours

#

i never tried survival yet

delicate current May 30, 2019, 2:23 PM

#

Well thats hard luck, everyone else who plays that game mode has earnt their KOTH credits/money that way.

urban sluice May 30, 2019, 2:23 PM

#

yeah cuz they enjoy infantry

#

i just want vehicle

delicate current May 30, 2019, 2:24 PM

#

Well play on the KOTH servers that don't have infantry only or find a different game mode.

rose vortex May 30, 2019, 2:24 PM

#

always wondered what do people find attractive on playing KOTH

urban sluice May 30, 2019, 2:25 PM

#

what other modes are there

#

altis life is complete shit but i never tried survival

#

koth is just fun and not killing bots

delicate current May 30, 2019, 2:26 PM

#

Well perhaps you need to try, CTI, Wasteland, Endgame, Warlords, CTF or one of the other game modes.

urban sluice May 30, 2019, 2:27 PM

#

ok i will

#

also where should i dicuss money hack for arma 3 if its not here

Cuz ifound ou tthat i coul run arma 3 smoothly

hearty island May 30, 2019, 3:47 PM

#

A server doesn't "handle" your pc spec

rustic bobcat May 30, 2019, 4:20 PM

#

Some might have lower FPS than others but that’s due to network not pc spec

compact summit May 30, 2019, 4:50 PM

Is this a creator dlc or an actual dlc?

hearty island May 30, 2019, 4:50 PM

actual

velvet cobalt May 30, 2019, 4:50 PM

#

Actual DLC

hearty island May 30, 2019, 4:50 PM

#

Actually. neither

#

It's a Expansion

compact summit May 30, 2019, 4:50 PM

#

Coulda sworn BI said they were done and that they were doing creators?

hearty island May 30, 2019, 4:50 PM

yep

Oh. Okay.

velvet cobalt May 30, 2019, 4:50 PM

Qhat happened to old man campaign

steady prawn May 30, 2019, 4:51 PM

about 1k people are online, and even general only now started to talk, so i dont see that as an option @velvet cobalt

hearty island May 30, 2019, 4:51 PM

still WIP

velvet cobalt May 30, 2019, 4:51 PM

#

@steady prawn Ok?

compact summit May 30, 2019, 4:51 PM

#

Lol so they’re done with DLC and calling them expansions now?

hearty island May 30, 2019, 4:51 PM

#

"about 1k people are online" Uh.. 4k people for me

#

@compact summit No. Expansions are very big DLCs

#

Apex was a Expansion

steady prawn May 30, 2019, 4:51 PM

#

when i joined it said 4k in teh server 1k online

compact summit May 30, 2019, 4:52 PM

#

So it’s a DLC under a different name?

rustic bobcat May 30, 2019, 4:52 PM

#

There’s a new map so I wouldn’t call it a dlc

hearty island May 30, 2019, 4:52 PM

#

It's categorized as a Expansion

compact summit May 30, 2019, 4:52 PM

#

Gotcha

hearty island May 30, 2019, 4:52 PM

#

You download it, so I guess it's also downloadable content

rustic bobcat May 30, 2019, 4:52 PM

#

Yes it’s a dlc technically but it’s a required dlc

hearty island May 30, 2019, 4:52 PM

#

but Arma itself is also downloaded. And you wouldn't call the Arma basegame a DLC either

compact summit May 30, 2019, 4:52 PM

#

Lol yeah that was my point xD

#

Arma is a steam DLC 😃

rustic bobcat May 30, 2019, 4:53 PM

#

Although the sci fi stuff is optional

compact summit May 30, 2019, 4:53 PM

#

It’s not a required DLC

#

I can play the game just fine without it if I chose to

#

However I chose to preorder it because I’m tired of using humans for everything, it’s about time aliens started driving tanks into battle

hearty island May 30, 2019, 4:55 PM

#

So far neither the descriptions on steam/bistore nor the trailer said anything about adding actual aliens

compact summit May 30, 2019, 4:55 PM

#

It’s wishful thinking, don’t ruin it.

meager tundra May 30, 2019, 5:04 PM

#

Doubt we'll see any aliens, and if we do, I doubt they're gonna be rigged seperately from the A3 male models.

hearty island May 30, 2019, 5:05 PM

#

Maybe alien looking heads/helmets. Wait.. We already have that

meager tundra May 30, 2019, 5:16 PM

#

In before the viper units were aliens all along!

#

gasp

bitter python May 30, 2019, 5:33 PM

There were 3 interesting class names for the stats on the steam page that sound like alien stuff

Hello does anyone know a mod that adds a module for ambient civilians like Arma2 and OA had? preferably where you can set what "kind" of civilians spawn. Im trying to do a Afghanistan map but its kinda boring because all the cities are empty and placing civilians in each town takes alot of time and is really resource intensive because they are always there. thanks in advance

whats the performance like with Alive? and how easy is it to setup?

velvet cobalt May 30, 2019, 7:14 PM

#

There's a wiki for setting it up but its pretty easy imo. Performance is good, at least for me it is, we use headless clients

quartz magnet May 30, 2019, 7:16 PM

#

@maiden sky have you tried https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Civilian_Presence

is there ww2 servers?

quartz magnet May 30, 2019, 7:16 PM

#

yes

maiden sky May 30, 2019, 7:16 PM

#

Yeah well i dont think i can setup a headless client because i host myself because i mostly play alone or with 2-5 friends not really worth it to rent a server. hopefully it still runs well

modest relic May 30, 2019, 7:16 PM

#

damn!!

maiden sky May 30, 2019, 7:17 PM

#

@quartz magnet yeah but last i checked you need to place a module for each city you want civilians in unlike the arma 2 version where you just needed to place one module

quartz magnet May 30, 2019, 7:17 PM

#

it doesn't matter

#

go through the wiki, it's pretty neat

#

and easy to follow

#

and there are a bunch of options to customise the potential performance impact

#

modules are nothing but scripts with GUI for input

@tranquil bay thx

tranquil bay May 31, 2019, 3:25 AM

@winged urchin
multiplayer lags are mostly caused by bad mission coding and insufficient server performance. it's up to the mission author and/or server admins

Ahhhh ok man thanks I didn't know that are there best server to play with?

@tranquil bay Can I talk to you in DMs?

There is no "best Server"

@urban sluice According to Reyhard, no, just scripted encounters

#

well, I guess that doesn't preclude the actual aliens being playable, but it would likely also mean they were very human looking aliens because I can't imagine them creating all new skeletons and animations for them

You probably want to go play Squad or project reality then

#

Squad/PR style modes don't really exist or aren't very popular in Arma, at least that I'm aware of.

hmm is there no validation or rules about being an OFFICIAL server in ArmA 3?

#

Server admins can put in the official word, and claim its official as they want?

#

I even tried that one of the server admins on chat claiming it was a BI official tho it clearly was not a BI server...

#

not a huge problem, but...

hearty island Jun 1, 2019, 10:43 AM

#

There is no validation, because the only OFFICIAL servers are made hosted by BI themselves.

tiny otter Jun 1, 2019, 10:44 AM

#

Yeah i thought so, but still people can freely start a server and name them official

hearty island Jun 1, 2019, 10:44 AM

#

jup

#

I heard that complaint a couple times already. But also dunno what one would do about that

tiny otter Jun 1, 2019, 10:46 AM

#

ban the word official in the name, or better yet, add a new attribute to the servers.

#

OFFICIAL, COMMUNITY, etc, would be nice...

quartz magnet Jun 1, 2019, 11:13 AM

#

the official servers should be the only ones in the offical server list, though

deft moon Jun 1, 2019, 11:29 AM

#

The only way a non-official server can even get in the official server list is if an addon modifies the list to my knowledge

#

or, if BI put it there, but that seems highly unlikely

finite relic Jun 1, 2019, 12:38 PM

#

the official servers should be the only ones in the official server list, though

According to Dwarden, the list is hardcoded and non-official servers should never show up under the "Official Servers" tab.

hearty island Jun 1, 2019, 1:06 PM

#

can confirm it's hardcoded too

#

well "hard"

vale valley Jun 1, 2019, 1:19 PM

#

the official tabs (in arma 3 launcher and ingame) aren't 'searching' for official in the server name

#

the ips:ports are pre-defined, downloaded and used by launcher / game (sort of like whitelist)

#

so imho most of the complains are because someone 'searched' for official and is thinking all servers with that in the name, are official

quartz magnet Jun 1, 2019, 1:25 PM

#

yeah pretty much. I did assume it would be hardcoded/whitelist

quartz magnet Jun 1, 2019, 1:51 PM

Looking at the satellite overview it doesn't look particularly similar, but it does feel like a very Czech terrain. It could also be based on Poland, the countries share a lot of geography

okay you're probably browsing modded servers

#

ARMA isn't generally just plug and play

#

there is a learning curve

There really isn't any multiplayer tutorial environments, unless you already have a quite dedicated group. Singleplayer, there is plenty of content to get you into the game easily and gradually

Arma is like garrys mod

@random tartan good modes to start MP could be zeus or some other coop mode. But it's smart to do at least the bootcamp first in singleplayer, so you have a basic idea of what you are doing and what is happening

#

If you run out of ideas what to do next there's a few channels here where you can ask

random tartan Jun 1, 2019, 11:22 PM

ok thanks

#

ye iv explored the basic of gameplay, multiplayers just always a different type of game

runic jay Jun 1, 2019, 11:32 PM

#

Certainly. I've just found the SP easier when you need to learn new stuff

#

If you have the basics, some simple game mode in multi/pvp can be useful, koth might work too (infantry server... vehicle servers probably = uninstall 😁 )

#

Having friends to play with can be great if you prefer MP for learning

thin sable Jun 1, 2019, 11:59 PM

there are many different ways to play Arma in MP. Some games modes run on public servers, some run on private community games. #communities_arma3 might be a good place to check out too

ARMA is quite unusual in its structure... it's more like a technology stack than a game

or to put it another way: it's more like a junkyard than a hot dog stand

I'm looking for a new Capture the Island mode to play. Thing is, though I've played numerous modes (DUWS, Antistasi, Liberation, Rubber Warfare, Becti, Warlords, Arma Commander, and a few others), all of them seem to have like one or two flaws that prevent them from being the right fit for me. I'm after something that...

can be played both PvP and PvE with full (or near-total) functionality;
is persistent (can be saved, even if the games don't last too long);
has base building;
and has custom high command-style groups in the form of AI-piloted helicopters, tanks, etc., that can be commanded by players.

I need the mode to fit all of those criteria. Do you guys know of any modes that could work? If so, DM me or @ me in the chat.

urban sluice Jun 3, 2019, 3:24 PM

#

Ok

brave oracle Jun 3, 2019, 3:25 PM

#

Well therein lies a problem because I know shit all about scripting, and it seems to be kind of forbidden speech online whenever I run Google searches on it.

#

I mean, is it possible to do all of it in the in-game Editor?

tidal topaz Jun 3, 2019, 3:27 PM

#

Hey is there a way to recreate the transmission effect on the screens

brave oracle Jun 3, 2019, 3:28 PM

#

I know, and they're all fun but I want something that's all in one. Liberation would be perfect but it's exclusively PvE IIRC, and Warlords would be fine if you could save and you could have AI units of choppers and tanks.

#

How do you go about actually creating a new CTI gametype?

#

Yes, 100% chance

solemn lion Jun 3, 2019, 4:48 PM

Nice.

Been eyeing it for some time now

#

https://steamdb.info/app/107410/ past pricing data

solemn lion Jun 3, 2019, 4:50 PM

#

Yeah. Checked one of those sites that tell you the best price and apparently the game was on sale a couple of weeks ago D: I missed it cus I don't check steam that often

#

Unless Im sure I'm buying a game

mental juniper Jun 3, 2019, 4:55 PM

#

@brave oracle Yep Kp Lib is PvE only out of the box, but you can always try playing around with the mission file a bit to see if you can get something nice working

#

And @solemn lion Just fyi I recommend taking a peek at the Apex edition if you're gonna be buying the game, it usually goes on sale aswell

@mental juniper yeah, that's the version I'm interested in.

#

I checked their own site too but apparently they only sale the steam version

#

For some reason I thought this game will have it's own launcher

sour valley Jun 3, 2019, 4:59 PM

#

Amy one knows kinda cheap arma 3 headless server hosts

mental juniper Jun 3, 2019, 5:00 PM

#

@solemn lion Arma 3 has its own launcher, but its not a launcher like steam

#

It just lets you manage units/mods/servers

solemn lion Jun 3, 2019, 5:01 PM

#

Oh ok. When it goes on sale I might pull the trigger with the rest of the DLC's.

#

Or is there a DLC that's not worth it?

mental juniper Jun 3, 2019, 5:02 PM

#

It really depends on what you want to do I'd say

#

except for karts, karts is more of a joke dlc

#

But yeah if you wont use jets, you dont need jets dlc. If you wont use tanks, you dont need tanks dlc

solemn lion Jun 3, 2019, 5:05 PM

Oh interesting.

All DLCs are included in the base game to try out (except Creator DLC content) so you can see what you like @solemn lion

mental juniper Jun 3, 2019, 5:06 PM

#

So doesnt seem like theres crossplay

#

Yep What SK said

#

Btw @quartz magnet just FYI mentions only work if they're included in the message from the start, if they're edited in they dont send a notification

quartz magnet Jun 3, 2019, 5:07 PM

yeah i know, but i think they still show the highlight

mental juniper Jun 3, 2019, 5:07 PM

#

Yeah they have the yellow background @quartz magnet

quartz magnet Jun 3, 2019, 5:08 PM

#

(and i think they turn up in the recent mentions list too? not sure)

#

they don't

mental juniper Jun 3, 2019, 5:08 PM

#

mmh see if that one shows up

#

ah okay

quartz magnet Jun 3, 2019, 5:08 PM

#

yeah checked, didn't 😄

mental juniper Jun 3, 2019, 5:09 PM

#

Hehe that clears it up

#

You learn something new every day!

quartz magnet Jun 3, 2019, 5:10 PM

#

indeed 😃

solemn lion Jun 3, 2019, 5:10 PM

#

@quartz magnet wait.. really? I'm sorry coming from other games I'm not used to pro consumer practices lol

#

I'll for sure try it out before buying

quartz magnet Jun 3, 2019, 5:11 PM

#

haha

#

yeah there's this thing called virtual arsenal under one of the menus, along with tutorials

#

it lets you try things without restriction

#

you can also try things via the mission editor but in that case there are restrictions and in game ads (not audio ads, just a small notification and timed overlay)

#

But you won't get ads if other people/AI use those DLC things

#

So that way you can play in servers and it doesn't split the community

#

However there are hard ownership restrictions on the maps (Tanoa and the upcoming Livonia)

#

Tanoa is a part of the Apex Expansion and Livonia will be a part of the Contact Expansion

#

Global Mobilization, the only Creator DLC at the moment, however has hard ownership requirements, and you will need to buy it before you can use any of the content

#

(This might change in the future but no estimate on when)

mental juniper Jun 3, 2019, 5:15 PM

#

As a side note only the map itself is restricted, you can still play in missions that use stuff like plants from the maps

quartz magnet Jun 3, 2019, 5:16 PM

#

haha. it will 😄

mental juniper Jun 3, 2019, 5:16 PM

#

Hehe I think arma and the dlc have gone on sale during every sale that I've noticed

quartz magnet Jun 3, 2019, 5:16 PM

#

But probably best advice would be to get something like the Apex Edition which includes Apex and DLC Bundle 1 (which includes the first 3 DLCs iirc)

#

And then see how you like/don't like the game before spending more money

solemn lion Jun 3, 2019, 5:17 PM

#

goddamit this is why I need to add things to my wishlist, I always forget and miss the sales

mental juniper Jun 3, 2019, 5:17 PM

@solemn lion Whichever edition you decide to buy, the developer's Web store includes some digital extras that I believe are no longer available through Steam: https://store.bistudio.com/products/arma3

solemn lion Jun 3, 2019, 7:52 PM

#

@opal nacelle ok a couple of questions: the site says a steam account required. Is it a key for steam? Also, do they have sales in their store?

opal nacelle Jun 3, 2019, 8:08 PM

#

@solemn lion Yeah it's a Steam key, Arma 3 is a Steamworks title... and yes they absolutely have sales, usually (if not always) concurrent with those on Steam

jaunty whale Jun 3, 2019, 9:03 PM

#

Even without financial gain, you can't steal stuff under "fair use", unless it's specifically for education/criticism/research

#

I've worked with Disney on projects before, they're pretty great to work with. You can't steal from anyone, including Disney.

wind urchin Jun 3, 2019, 9:05 PM

thats my point. arma is doing ti but selectivly

#

Not selectively?

wind urchin Jun 3, 2019, 9:05 PM

#

im a happy co-conspirator mind you lol

#

they have scope companies names that are trademarked the same as SW stuff for example

#

unless they went to every manufacturer there is and asked for specific permission theyre in violation as well

#

it is super super common in video games

#

a missed label here and there they should of blurred but didnt

jaunty whale Jun 3, 2019, 9:06 PM

#

There's no leupold scope in the game.

#

There's similar scopes to real world scopes, yeah - but they're not exact.

wind urchin Jun 3, 2019, 9:06 PM

#

mod packs have luepold scopes in them

#

same as SW mods have SW IP violations in them

jaunty whale Jun 3, 2019, 9:07 PM

#

They do, but those are unpaid and portray US military equipment

wind urchin Jun 3, 2019, 9:07 PM

Hey Guys, a quick Question, I saw a Video on YouTube one Day of somebody playing Arma 3 with a Oculus Rift. Anybody with experience here? How does it actually performs? Is it comfortable to play or do you get Motion Sickness really fast?

jaunty whale Jun 4, 2019, 7:40 PM

#

@hollow linden very poorly. Not worth buying an Oculus if your plan is to play Arma

#

Can't even see your targets

hearty island Jun 4, 2019, 7:41 PM

Arma doesn't have VR support

all that you're doing is just getting veeeery close to your screen

I hope there'll be a better helicopter damage model in the next arma

#

I'm not 100% on the physics of real life helicopters but I don't see a helo exploding because his main rotor got stuck somewhere as realistic

pale patio Jun 5, 2019, 4:51 PM

#

@last geyser Are you using the advanced flight model? Helicopter damage is more accurately modelled with that enabled

#

and you can lose the main rotor on a heli with the arcade flight model without exploding, but it still seems like a reasonable outcome really because advanced or basic flight model, actually managing to survive the destructive loss of your rotor while close to the ground and moving at any speed would usually be fatal or life-altering

#

the explosion part is just speeding up the almost inevitable dying part that would follow the rotor hitting powerlines or trees (as examples)

You asked the same thing a couple of days ago and were advised that if you have a legit copy of A3 you can download anything you want from the workshop.

#

Looks like June 25th starts the big summer sale

#

It goes on sale pretty frequently. With new DLC coming out they might take advantage of the sale to sell the base game

#

Definitely. 😃 You can often find bundles on sale when the game is on sale.

#

I wouldn't consider myself particularly good at it - I can cobble something together that works, but there are lots of great scenarios ... on the workshop. 😉

Well, when you launch A3 from Steam, it actually launches the A3 Launcher, not the game. So enjoy the russian-doll-method. 😉

Or if you launch the Launcher without steam running, it will happily launch steam for you before it launches the launcher....

solemn lion Jun 6, 2019, 1:09 AM

I assume there's a reason. There was a giant civil war when A3 launched and it was on Steam. 😉

unreal rivet Jun 6, 2019, 1:10 AM

#

the arma3 game launcher facilitates mod loading, out-of-game server browser and some other functions, it's a nice way of wrapping up all the manual things you used to have to do with arma 2.

#

it also hooks right into the steam workshop which is kinda nice.

solemn lion Jun 6, 2019, 1:11 AM

#

@unreal rivet imn not arguing the existence of the launcher itself. i actually like that but if you have your own launcher i would think youll sell it on your site to not give that 30%

#

that steam takes

#

i mean... the steamworkshop is nice tho

This is still in slow mode?
Don t assets take up the most space?
So for Contact wouldn t the DLC owner optional download be under 1 GB while everyone else gets 5 GB for all the buildings and gear?

What’s the Enfusion engine

hearty island Jun 6, 2019, 7:16 PM

#

It's the engine that powers DayZ. A mix of RV and Enforce

#

Currently has nothing to do with Arma

quartz magnet Jun 6, 2019, 8:37 PM

#

Why would it have anything to do with Arma?

#

What are you implying dedmen

vale valley Jun 6, 2019, 9:00 PM

#

that's slightly incorrect, DayZ uses partly Enfusion and partly RV

dedmen leaks arma 4 -2019 colorised

quiet pine Jun 6, 2019, 9:00 PM

#

Hahaha

vale valley Jun 6, 2019, 9:00 PM

#

pure Enfusion will have nothing from RV and Enforce, except the origins

#

but that's what if then that ... in the future

solid sedge Jun 6, 2019, 9:01 PM

#

anyone know of any uniform editors who i could speak to?

quiet pine Jun 6, 2019, 9:01 PM

#

So the "fusion" in the name will no more be about a real fusion

vale valley Jun 6, 2019, 9:01 PM

#

it's fusion of the lessons and technologies learned

#

remade from scratch as modern engine

quiet pine Jun 6, 2019, 9:02 PM

#

EnFinalForm (:

vale valley Jun 6, 2019, 9:02 PM

#

ofcourse if something old is as good as it can get w/o need to be remastered or optimized, i guess it will end in it too

quiet pine Jun 6, 2019, 9:03 PM

#

Hopefully, as code doesn't rot

#

keep setDammage plz 👀 😆

quartz magnet Jun 6, 2019, 9:15 PM

#

"except the origins"

#

i guess setDammage qualifies 😛
