#

all kind of intimidating

#

do i need all the dlc as well when i buy the game?

mental juniper Jun 22, 2019, 8:53 PM

#

Nope

#

Theres 2 bigger ones which could be usefull since they add new territories which is Arma 3 Apex (adding tanoa) and Arma 3 Contact (which is releasing soon and adds Livonia)

#

You'll only really need the other dlcs if you're interested in the things they add

fervent rapids Jun 22, 2019, 8:54 PM

#

Imo the best part of arma is how customizable it is

mental juniper Jun 22, 2019, 8:54 PM

#

(As in if you#re not interested in driving tanks you wont need tanks dlc)

fervent rapids Jun 22, 2019, 8:54 PM

#

Name a conflict or any event, you can probably make it

#

Or you just load a mod that adds tanks

mental juniper Jun 22, 2019, 8:55 PM

#

Ye

fervent rapids Jun 22, 2019, 8:55 PM

#

I.E. RHS or CUP

mental juniper Jun 22, 2019, 8:56 PM

#

I mean theres even a mod that adds musket warfare

#

Year 1875 I think it was?

fervent rapids Jun 22, 2019, 8:56 PM

#

Yeah I saw that

obsidian jungle Jun 22, 2019, 8:56 PM

#

im watching a star wars one. hmm.. still so much i dont know

fervent rapids Jun 22, 2019, 8:56 PM

#

The textures arent great and the guns dont really work all that well tho

mental juniper Jun 22, 2019, 8:56 PM

#

Yee the guns really dont work with ace

#

And @obsidian jungle I'd say that it isnt really hard to get into

#

though my opinion is very biased

fervent rapids Jun 22, 2019, 8:57 PM

#

@obsidian jungle Also try and pick up on zeusing, it's fun

mental juniper Jun 22, 2019, 8:57 PM

#

^

#

zeus missions are some of my favourite missions in arma

fervent rapids Jun 22, 2019, 8:57 PM

#

Zeus is all i play now

#

We have one guy in our group that hosts almost daily

obsidian jungle Jun 22, 2019, 8:58 PM

#

no idea what that is, im so new

fervent rapids Jun 22, 2019, 8:58 PM

#

Zeus is a game mode where one player is like an editor

opal nacelle Jun 22, 2019, 8:58 PM

#

@obsidian jungle Think a 'military-themed' D&D session with one player as the Dungeon Master 😛

obsidian jungle Jun 22, 2019, 8:58 PM

#

oooooooooo

fervent rapids Jun 22, 2019, 8:59 PM

#

They create scenarios for the players, spawning units, etc

mental juniper Jun 22, 2019, 8:59 PM

#

Yep as he said one person is the gamemaster and creates the mission, and the other players play it live

fervent rapids Jun 22, 2019, 8:59 PM

#

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PRfhQLU5HM

#

That's a good video that explains it well

mental juniper Jun 22, 2019, 9:00 PM

#

in case you want to see a zeus making a mission : https://www.twitch.tv/videos/442269369

obsidian jungle Jun 22, 2019, 9:01 PM

#

hard for me not to feel as if i need all the dlc

opal nacelle Jun 22, 2019, 9:02 PM

#

You can skip to one minute into that YouTube video

obsidian jungle Jun 22, 2019, 9:02 PM

#

watched it already 😃

fervent rapids Jun 22, 2019, 9:02 PM

#

I've played arma for like 2 years and I've only bought one DLC

mental juniper Jun 22, 2019, 9:02 PM

#

You really dont need all the dlc, most of the dlc only add new vehicles or weapons @obsidian jungle

obsidian jungle Jun 22, 2019, 9:03 PM

#

but 'Contact' is a should have correct?

mental juniper Jun 22, 2019, 9:03 PM

#

Eeh I wouldnt call it a necessary should have, but it is very beneficial to have because of the map it adds

fervent rapids Jun 22, 2019, 9:04 PM

#

No, none of the DLCs are really 'must have's

mental juniper Jun 22, 2019, 9:04 PM

#

Also you can see all the stuff the dlcs add on their store pages

opal nacelle Jun 22, 2019, 9:07 PM

#

Apex, Contact, and Global Mobilization - Cold War Germany are 'you must have this DLC in order to play on this server' DLCs if the server in question is running a scenario/match set on Tanoa (Apex), Livonia (Contact), or Weferlingen (whether summer or winter) (GM)

#

Tac-Ops Mission Pack is entirely SP content

mental juniper Jun 22, 2019, 9:07 PM

#

Correction to that, you need the dlc if the server is running any GM content since Gm is an optional creators dlc

opal nacelle Jun 22, 2019, 9:07 PM

#

Ehhh I thought that was covered by my above wording about the terrains

obsidian jungle Jun 22, 2019, 9:08 PM

#

hmm. i guess im trying to figure out how much for Arma 3 + maps dlc

opal nacelle Jun 22, 2019, 9:08 PM

#

You can safely skip Tac-Ops Mission Pack for MP purposes, as it's purely SP content

fervent rapids Jun 22, 2019, 9:09 PM

#

@obsidian jungle If I were you I'd just skip on the DLC for now

opal nacelle Jun 22, 2019, 9:10 PM

#

@obsidian jungle Karts, Helicopters, Marksmen, Jets, Laws of War, and Tanks' gear/vehicles/weapons assets are handled differently so you shouldn't need them to join a server, and in fact you can try them out in the base game

obsidian jungle Jun 22, 2019, 9:10 PM

#

hmm. i suppose ill get base game then grab everything else at the summer sale

mental juniper Jun 22, 2019, 9:12 PM

#

@obsidian jungle I recommend checking out the apex edition though

#

iirc its one of the best options avaible

obsidian jungle Jun 22, 2019, 9:12 PM

#

that comes with base game as well correct?

opal nacelle Jun 22, 2019, 9:13 PM

#

Apex Edition = base game + Apex DLC (Tanoa terrain) + Karts, Helicopters, and Marksmen DLCs

#

There's also a Contact Edition which is just base game + Contact DLC pre-order

slender silo Jun 22, 2019, 9:18 PM

#

Does anyone else have issues with textures not loading correctly?

#

like this https://i.imgur.com/G6QU7c8.jpg

mental juniper Jun 22, 2019, 9:19 PM

#

have you updated your drivers to the newest version?

fervent rapids Jun 22, 2019, 9:19 PM

#

Surprisingly no

slender silo Jun 22, 2019, 9:20 PM

#

Yeah I have

#

And I completely reinstalled the game kms

tranquil bay Jun 22, 2019, 9:24 PM

#

@slender silo
that's not a texture issue, that's a LOD issue...
what mods?

slender silo Jun 22, 2019, 9:25 PM

#

I dont have any running with public zeus and all

#

Like they are all unloaded

tranquil bay Jun 22, 2019, 9:25 PM

#

your pic tells other

mental juniper Jun 22, 2019, 9:26 PM

#

Is it?

tranquil bay Jun 22, 2019, 9:26 PM

#

is this gun in vanilla?

slender silo Jun 22, 2019, 9:26 PM

#

Yes it is

tranquil bay Jun 22, 2019, 9:26 PM

#

haven't played vanilla in years

mental juniper Jun 22, 2019, 9:26 PM

#

Its the apex Spar

tranquil bay Jun 22, 2019, 9:26 PM

#

oh

mental juniper Jun 22, 2019, 9:26 PM

#

i think

slender silo Jun 22, 2019, 9:26 PM

tranquil bay Jun 22, 2019, 9:26 PM

#

nvm then

slender silo Jun 22, 2019, 9:26 PM

#

It is the SPAR

#

So idk what to do

#

Even with Global Mobilization off it does it too

opal nacelle Jun 22, 2019, 9:30 PM

#

@obsidian jungle From the main menu, Tutorials -> Virtual Arsenal to try out all of the (non-mod) gear, vehicles, and weapons, both base game and DLC

thin sable Jun 22, 2019, 9:30 PM

#

@slender silo whats your video settings like?

urban sluice Jun 22, 2019, 9:30 PM

#

Hi! The launcher Vorona is teleguied like the Titan launcher?

slender silo Jun 22, 2019, 9:30 PM

#

Let me open the game again

#

High preset with modifications of course

mental juniper Jun 22, 2019, 9:32 PM

#

@urban sluice Which launcher was the Vorona?

#

Was it the metis?

opal nacelle Jun 22, 2019, 9:33 PM

#

Yes

urban sluice Jun 22, 2019, 9:33 PM

#

It's from the Tanks DLC

opal nacelle Jun 22, 2019, 9:33 PM

#

It's wire-guided/manually-controlled

mental juniper Jun 22, 2019, 9:33 PM

#

Ah, Its wire guided

#

Ye As Chortles said point at the target and keep pointing at the target untill it goes boom

urban sluice Jun 22, 2019, 9:33 PM

#

Titan Launche is wire guided also?

mental juniper Jun 22, 2019, 9:33 PM

#

Yep

#

Wire guided or laser guided

slender silo Jun 22, 2019, 9:34 PM

#

https://i.imgur.com/ULgYYYA.jpg

mental juniper Jun 22, 2019, 9:34 PM

#

The Titan can also lock on to a target though

slender silo Jun 22, 2019, 9:34 PM

#

Those are settings

urban sluice Jun 22, 2019, 9:34 PM

#

When it is wire guided you don't need to point to the target all the time?

opal nacelle Jun 22, 2019, 9:34 PM

#

No, you must

urban sluice Jun 22, 2019, 9:35 PM

#

So when it lock on target what is the name?

mental juniper Jun 22, 2019, 9:35 PM

#

Yep you gotta point at the target until the rocket hits it

#

Sorry what do you mean with that?

slender silo Jun 22, 2019, 9:35 PM

#

@thin sable

opal nacelle Jun 22, 2019, 9:35 PM

#

Note that the Titan AP missiles (AP is for anti-personnel) are manual control only, while Titan AT (anti-tank) missiles can be manually-controlled or fire-and-forget via infrared guidance

urban sluice Jun 22, 2019, 9:36 PM

#

How do i call a launcher that lock on target?

#

lock guided?

mental juniper Jun 22, 2019, 9:36 PM

#

The Titan AT launcher can lock on to targets, the PCML can aswell I think?

urban sluice Jun 22, 2019, 9:36 PM

#

Ah thanks! fire-and-forget

mental juniper Jun 22, 2019, 9:37 PM

#

Ah yep

urban sluice Jun 22, 2019, 9:37 PM

#

The Vorona is not fire-and-forget?

opal nacelle Jun 22, 2019, 9:37 PM

#

The Vorona is not

mental juniper Jun 22, 2019, 9:37 PM

#

I dont think so

urban sluice Jun 22, 2019, 9:37 PM

#

thanks

#

so i will add Vorona to my server

opal nacelle Jun 22, 2019, 9:37 PM

#

Also, the PCML has fire-and-forget if you lock on but it does not have manual control capability, and its lock on capability can be reduced (in range) by bad weather and lighting conditions or prevented altogether by heavy fog

urban sluice Jun 22, 2019, 9:38 PM

#

Thanks for the help.

#

But the PCML don't lock at air vehicles, right?

opal nacelle Jun 22, 2019, 9:39 PM

#

while the Titan AT must have a 'hot' target for fire-and-forget

mental juniper Jun 22, 2019, 9:41 PM

#

i tested it and the pcml doesnt lock onto heli's @urban sluice

opal nacelle Jun 22, 2019, 9:50 PM

#

Curious, as it has airLock=1; in its config... was the aircraft going above 126 km/h? (That divided by 3.6 for km/h to m/s conversion = missileLockMaxSpeed=35; and maxTrackableSpeed=35; for its sensor; both are in m/s)

mental juniper Jun 22, 2019, 9:51 PM

#

The heli was stationary

opal nacelle Jun 22, 2019, 9:59 PM

#

Hovering or on the ground?

thin sable Jun 22, 2019, 9:59 PM

#

@slender silo try ultra on object and texture quality

#

and try dropping it to low and then back to ultra

mental juniper Jun 22, 2019, 10:01 PM

#

Hovering @opal nacelle

opal nacelle Jun 22, 2019, 10:02 PM

#

Maybe lower its altitude to < 20 m, as the PCML's visual sensor has maxTrackableATL=20;

mental juniper Jun 22, 2019, 10:03 PM

#

Oh yeah when its lower it works

subtle wind Jun 22, 2019, 10:17 PM

i have yet to see any of these spam bots

mental juniper Jun 22, 2019, 10:18 PM

Only seen one in the actual server chats

subtle wind Jun 22, 2019, 10:25 PM

#

that was my thought hehe

#

although it probably just sends a link

mental juniper Jun 22, 2019, 10:31 PM

#

Mmh it propably sends something like "Hey baby come check out my sexy pictures on www.totesnotavirus.rus/virus.html"

#

But thats only speculation

vale valley Jun 22, 2019, 10:32 PM

#

there are thousands of spambots lately on Discord, some are in chat some are via DM, some post everywhere while others just somewhere

mental juniper Jun 22, 2019, 10:34 PM

#

Its always neat to go through the channels with new messages when I get online in the morning and seeing how many were bots

spark arrow Jun 22, 2019, 10:42 PM

#

have never spotted a bot myself

#

lucky i guess ^^

mental juniper Jun 22, 2019, 10:46 PM

#

They usually get deleted and banned by the mods quite quickly

runic jay Jun 22, 2019, 11:27 PM

#

@obsidian jungle most ARMA modes with a conquest spirit really go much beyond basic conquest

subtle wind Jun 22, 2019, 11:28 PM

#

well there's currently a neat example of using constant precision for transform handles there

#

wobbbbbly

runic jay Jun 22, 2019, 11:29 PM

#

So it's not like "where can I play conquest" but more like "where can I fight over the whole altis island with bots under my command" or "with my 20 friends" or "as a co-op" or something like that

mental juniper Jun 22, 2019, 11:29 PM

Also checked like 1-2 days ago. Any ARMA3 product with a discount was Contact Edition, which was kind of ok-ish. Wouldn't really buy anything else if buying today but looking to build up capabilities within a budget

#

and last sale, Apex Edition wasn't that good any more 🤔

runic jay Jun 22, 2019, 11:55 PM

#

ARMA3 will end up with quite a long life time 💂

#

At least 8 years of active service - very hard to beat

runic jay Jun 23, 2019, 12:15 AM

#

One problem with zeus and experienced players is that you can't challenge them with just a couple of bots

#

and they can think around your deployments if they feel inclined

#

they don't panic, small arms fire is accurate etc

#

but they can still do very stupid stuff at times 😄

#

so a player is more like special forces in troop quality

#

give them a tank and they'll blow up half Altis. But then again one lucky ATGM launch and the day is ruined

marsh ice Jun 23, 2019, 12:26 AM

#

I'd play with story more than try to out-wit them.

runic jay Jun 23, 2019, 12:27 AM

#

Then it becomes more RP than mil-ops 🤔 Think you have a point there though

marsh ice Jun 23, 2019, 12:27 AM

#

Play with the lack of uniforms, think Rwanda or Libya, make them sweat about who's on what side.

runic jay Jun 23, 2019, 12:28 AM

I had a nice zeus session on public where we had supposed civilians at one part of the mission

Somebody wrote that immersion is central in Zeus

Oh my god, I just realized Zeus is a DM.

runic jay Jun 23, 2019, 12:30 AM

#

😄 took you a while

#

It's kind of funny

#

I've been having a tabletop campaign which returns to roots - ie. it tends to wargaming or mil-ops

marsh ice Jun 23, 2019, 12:33 AM

#

Personally, I'm thinking about creating a few scenarios using this https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1508316023, putting the players in the shoes of a UN Peacekeeper faced with chaotic situations.

#

But Arma 3's choices, without a zeus reacting to them, are very much binary. Kill or don't kill 😦

runic jay Jun 23, 2019, 12:35 AM

#

I should maybe check out Laws of War

#

Speaks volumes about ARMA that you can just throw in civilians and expect them to be a complex gameplay element

#

rather than "oops, I just shot another one... totally an accident"

#

What I'm thinking an easy approach can be limiting the power levels

subtle wind Jun 23, 2019, 12:38 AM

#

power level < 9000

runic jay Jun 23, 2019, 12:38 AM

#

eg. the amount of armored vehicles they can just grab off the shelf. Maybe even ammunition. One option is restricting respawns... but then you need closer scenario design

#

Is it easy to restrict what spectators see?

subtle wind Jun 23, 2019, 12:40 AM

#

you can just stop people respawning into spectator modes

#

and possibly respawn them into a role where they're stuck in a control room or something

#

with live camera feeds from the players or something

runic jay Jun 23, 2019, 12:41 AM

#

ohh

#

that could be nice !

subtle wind Jun 23, 2019, 12:41 AM

#

if you're interested in stopping the spectators from being a gameplay element

#

i've always wanted to do something like that but it's never actually a useful part of a scene

runic jay Jun 23, 2019, 12:41 AM

#

really?

#

I think a control room would be great! I just loved how they used that kind of setting in Neon Genesis Evangelion

marsh ice Jun 23, 2019, 12:42 AM

#

The drone terminal interface and remote laser designators can do that, I guess...

runic jay Jun 23, 2019, 12:42 AM

#

The senior staff was in the control room shouting and biting their nails while the biomecha pilots screwed up the mission on the field 😄 was a terrific set

subtle wind Jun 23, 2019, 12:44 AM

#

yeah i guess it doesn't fit in with any of what i've done so far

runic jay Jun 23, 2019, 12:52 AM

#

Guys, there is remote viewing in Zerty's

#

so you can spectate any bots of yours or teammates, at least. I think teammates' bots too

#

and it's part of the basic unupgraded interface ... I think ...

Hi guys i am trying to scripts as a beginner. I have my units with [this, "SIT3", "ASIS", arrow_1] call BIS_fnc_ambientAnim;
sit down and now you want to end the script after time x.
can someone help me?
Sorry for my disasters English

subtle wind Jun 23, 2019, 8:34 PM

#

good start

#

your english is fine :D

#

so what yo uneed to do is call the ambientanim function, as you have done, then wait for however many seconds, then run a function to end the ambientanim

#

so the basic code for this would, assuming you want 5 seconds, be (this doesn't quite work):

[this, "SIT3", "ASIS", arrow_1] call BIS_fnc_ambientAnim;
sleep 5;
this call BIS_fnc_ambientAnim__terminate```

#

the issue is you're not allowed to have sleep in what's called an 'unscheduled' environment, because if you wait there then the whole game has to pause for 5 seconds, so what you do is start another task in parallel. the full code is:

#

    [_this, "SIT3", "ASIS", arrow_1] call BIS_fnc_ambientAnim;
    sleep 5;
    _this call BIS_fnc_ambientAnim__terminate
}```

#

the reason why you have _this in the function body is because the spawn needs to somehow give the value of this to what's in the curly braces

rare crest Jun 23, 2019, 8:40 PM

The most common issue regarding "not being able to join" centres on the user not having the correct mods to join. Good thing the launcher gives you a way to setup and download the required mods.
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Launcher

Scroll down to Servers tab and read from there

Arma 3 Launcher

#

Be forewarned though, if there are a lot of mods required and you do not have them, you can expect a VERY long download time. Some mods are very large.

Howdy folks! I'm just thought I'd poke the chat and ask what you all would recommend for me to pick up from the Steam sell! First time player and all that looking for a more tight-knit community to play with!
Apex seems like something EVERYONE recommends, since it's apparently an engine upgrade. Anything else I should consider? I'm just trying to trim off some of that whopping $100 pricemark.

bitter python Jun 25, 2019, 2:03 AM

#

apex is not an engine upgrade

#

any functionality added to the engine is available to all regardless of ownership, the thing you are getting with apex is content such as vehicles, weapons, uniforms etc... aswell as the Tanoa terrain and campaign

urban sluice Jun 25, 2019, 2:06 AM

#

So, theoretically, most of the stuff closed community groups may be playing on a multiplayer server would be a third-party mod? Just making sure that I'm not going to be effectively locked out of many/most servers for missing long-released DLC.

#

@urban sluice get the base game, play through the campaign, and then try apex!

#

@urban sluice my community for example runs DLC restricted stuff very rarely, as you are able to play without owning apex ONLY when we are using the Tanoa map would you not be able to play

humble bane Jun 25, 2019, 2:11 AM

#

@urban sluice In general, you do not need any ARMA DLC to play on an MP server, unless the map is Tanoa, in which case you cannot join unless you have Apex DLC - which I recommend that you do. If you don't have a particular DLC used on the server you can still join but some things will odd...

urban sluice Jun 25, 2019, 2:13 AM

#

Glad they ain't DLC locking you out of stuff on most things, then. A map I can understand, at the very least.

subtle wind Jun 25, 2019, 2:15 AM

#

yep so you can't drive or use gunner positions in DLC vehicles

#

or use weapons from that dlc

urban sluice Jun 25, 2019, 2:21 AM

#

Will that put me at a "disadvantage" of any kind? Marksman is something I probably won't touch for a bit, and I'm not very good at driving vehicles.

#

Just want to know if I'm going to be missing out on "good guns" that "change the battlefield" and so-forth. Hate to be slaughtered by a gun that I can't even use to return fire.

opal nacelle Jun 25, 2019, 2:35 AM

#

That's... dependent (e.g. is this a versus-multiplayer match)

#

since a community-made versus-MP match can use custom scripting to get that weapon into your hands, albeit with ahem 'notification' pop-ups the longer you have it

#

If you get the base game you can actually try out the DLC gear, vehicles, and weapons via main menu: Tutorials -> Virtual Arsenal

#

Also, note that the same Apex restriction re: Tanoa will apply to the upcoming (July 25th, 2019) Contact DLC re: its Livonia map

urban sluice Jun 25, 2019, 3:02 AM

#

That's good to know, partner! I got my cart loaded up with a variety of goodies, and Arma is one of them now! Thanks for answering, folks! Hope I can find a laid-back community to mess around with!

@urban sluice Note that Tac-Ops Mission Pack is a singleplayer-missions DLC so you can safely ignore/omit it if your concern about DLCs is all about MP... Apex's campaign is co-op (you can technically play it solo with AI bots in place of the other three players)

Compared to launch, has Arma been optimized since?

cerulean heath Jun 25, 2019, 4:47 AM

#

I was watching someone say they had a powerful computer and only got ~25 fps in a town on altis (During a battle) but I've gotten way more than that with my moderate PC. This was 2016 so its probably just a less optimized build of the game

tranquil bay Jun 25, 2019, 4:50 AM

#

there are way too many factors that play into FPS for this game than just the PC specs.
a lot of it also falls back to the mission coding and server configuration

#

sure, towns soak up quite some FPS, but it's a big difference if the town is empty, filled with AI, filled with real players, how many of them, and the scripts running in the background.

hello

i have a question

#

is worth to buy arma 3 if i play alone?

mental juniper Jun 25, 2019, 7:06 PM

#

Yep @summer horizon

#

I spent most of my time playing alone

hearty island Jun 25, 2019, 7:07 PM

#

Wouldn't be worth it for me personally. All the fun I have is team fun and I never played the campaigns

summer horizon Jun 25, 2019, 7:08 PM

#

idk if i buy it

#

bcs i want to play multiplayer

hearty island Jun 25, 2019, 7:08 PM

#

It's quite easy to find a group tho

#

Not easy to find one that really fits you probably

summer horizon Jun 25, 2019, 7:13 PM

#

its hard to understand the game?

hearty island Jun 25, 2019, 7:13 PM

#

Depends on you. Some people learn quickly and some don't

#

There is alot to learn tho, compared to other games

strong anvil Jun 25, 2019, 7:14 PM

#

and mods add to that

humble bane Jun 25, 2019, 7:14 PM

#

There is an above average learning curve but if you spend the time and effort it is very much worth it!

summer horizon Jun 25, 2019, 7:15 PM

#

its more complex?

hearty island Jun 25, 2019, 7:17 PM

#

It was marketed as a military simulation, not a arcade shooter

#

so yes

summer horizon Jun 25, 2019, 7:19 PM

#

and it necessary to have dlc to play multiplayer?

hearty island Jun 25, 2019, 7:19 PM

#

no

opal nacelle Jun 25, 2019, 7:20 PM

#

@summer horizon Mostly no -- you can try out all-but-GM's gear, vehicles, and weapons with the base game (Tutorials -> Virtual Arsenal from the main menu, DLC stuff will have an icon next to their line in the list)

humble bane Jun 25, 2019, 7:20 PM

#

Apart from you need Apex to play on Tanoa, Contact to play on Livonia and Global Mobilization to play on their map

#

Most DLCs are worth getting though and there's a sale on now so it's an ideal time to get them

summer horizon Jun 25, 2019, 7:23 PM

#

ok

#

i just wanted to play casual

opal nacelle Jun 25, 2019, 7:23 PM

#

The only one to skip, if you're not getting DLC Bundle 2 or the Ultimate Edition, is Tac-Ops Mission Pack because that's purely SP content

summer horizon Jun 25, 2019, 7:26 PM

#

i was interested to play king of the hill

subtle wind Jun 25, 2019, 7:29 PM

#

yep so the only issue there is some of the better low tier weapons are dlc

#

Apex or marksmen

summer horizon Jun 25, 2019, 7:38 PM

#

im not sure if i buy it

opal nacelle Jun 25, 2019, 7:39 PM

#

Truthbetold whether to get any of the DLCs comes down to what you want to do in KOTH

hearty island Jun 25, 2019, 7:39 PM

#

there is still summer sale for.. a week or two. so you'll have more than enough time to think about whether to buy a 10€ game or not

opal nacelle Jun 25, 2019, 7:40 PM

#

for example, if you see yourself never trying to fly the air superiority fighters then you can basically skip Jets DLC -- the base game has two air-to-ground-focused jets and a sorta-multirole (it will end either of those two at air-to-air but isn't on their level for air-to-ground)

humble bane Jun 25, 2019, 7:40 PM

#

And if you want to fly more jets then mods give you a world of excitement

summer horizon Jun 25, 2019, 7:47 PM

#

idk i have to chose between two games

humble bane Jun 25, 2019, 7:48 PM

Whatever the other game is will not be as satisfying as ARMA

It may, however, be as annoying and frustrating as ARMA 😉

jaunty whale Jun 25, 2019, 8:07 PM

No military life in terms of buying on-base housing, having paychecks, etc.

Agreed, just saying I haven't seen a "milsim life" setup.

#

what? Exile is literally the furthest thing from it lmao

rugged igloo Jun 25, 2019, 8:08 PM

only fun thing to do was to join the Vietcong and run and gun through the streets

lmao

#

That sounds like the same cringey takistan life

strong anvil Jun 25, 2019, 8:08 PM

#

not rlly it depends on the people and the server

jaunty whale Jun 25, 2019, 8:09 PM

#

or for PsiSyn, literally any life server

rugged igloo Jun 25, 2019, 8:09 PM

#

see, I can never take milsim seriously

#

I try, I really do, but god-damn

strong anvil Jun 25, 2019, 8:09 PM

#

i just laugh at them sometimes

jaunty whale Jun 25, 2019, 8:09 PM

#

I think the difference is that that is a huge spectrum of what "milsim" is.

rugged igloo Jun 25, 2019, 8:10 PM

#

Half of all problems hardcore milsimmers face could be solved by hiding in a corner and machine gunning them

strong anvil Jun 25, 2019, 8:10 PM

#

if they roleplay too much

jaunty whale Jun 25, 2019, 8:10 PM

#

It can either be a group of guys just running as squad taking out objectives

#

or it can be a group of guys doing virtual pushups while getting yelled at

#

or anything inbetween

strong anvil Jun 25, 2019, 8:10 PM

#

yea the the 2nd case id give up

hearty island Jun 25, 2019, 8:10 PM

#

We have one guy in our group that always tries to hardcore roleplay.
And everytime after he starts everyone get's into a shit mood and some people just quit and he always get's complained about in debrief.
And next mission he's at it again

strong anvil Jun 25, 2019, 8:11 PM

#

keep it short and sweet

#

coz ppl online have quite a low attention spam

subtle wind Jun 25, 2019, 8:59 PM

#

i don't really know what constitutes hardcore

#

in th eone i was in it was like 'line up on the wall, here's your breifing etc'

#

but we still joked around and stuff

#

there were ranks, and you were supposed to use protocol to communicate, which is pretty standard

mental juniper Jun 25, 2019, 9:18 PM

#

Iirc theres arma units where you have to fill out paperwork so @subtle wind

#

as in actual paperwork, not just apply using a google form or something like that

humble bane Jun 25, 2019, 9:21 PM

#

I'm still ROFL-ing at "buying on-base housing, having paychecks"... do they have people in those groups providing VA services (badly, for realism and immersion) and MPs who throw them in the brig if they get drunk at the bar

I have some good memories in Takistan life

As much as I like to generalize the life servers as cringy as well. They have their moments. You ever funded a 3rd party to commence war on NATO to keep your hands clean? Can't do that in a typical mil op XD

what should i start by doing, im on campaign curently

mental juniper Jun 25, 2019, 10:20 PM

Showcases, tutorials, campaign, multiplayer

urban sluice Jun 25, 2019, 10:20 PM

in that order?

mental juniper Jun 25, 2019, 10:21 PM

#

not necesarily

subtle wind Jun 25, 2019, 10:21 PM

#

maybe tuts before showcases

#

but it's roughly that. the showcases are very good short missions

mental juniper Jun 25, 2019, 10:22 PM

Mmh actually I might do campaign first, and then do the showcases/ tutorials about stuff you wanna learn more about

Is MCC Sandbox a good way to make an RTS mode that can be published on the Workshop and replayed?

subtle wind Jun 25, 2019, 11:22 PM

#

i imagine you'll want more scripting control

#

i'm not familiar with mcc but if it's a builder you're likely to want more advanced functions

#

so long as you can script as well it should be fine

midnight oak Jun 25, 2019, 11:26 PM

#

MCC4 does have a decent RTS system in place. Just be warned that it's getting slowly dated, and updates have been very slow on it. Some stuff works, other stuff doesn't. It's definitely worth playing around with just to see if it meets your requirements.

subtle wind Jun 25, 2019, 11:31 PM

#

oh i didn't realise MCC had an RTS mode

urban sluice Jun 25, 2019, 11:38 PM

#

Yeah some things in MCC

#

Like the game crashing axe that I try to use

#

can someone link me the mods i need? i just bought the game

#

Like just then?

#

like just a basic pack to play most servers

#

Play the campaign first no mods

#

i like multiplayer

#

Most servers require no mods

#

If you don’t want people to get pissed at you

#

oh really?

#

Play single player campaign

#

what servers do you reccomend

#

It’s training

#

Well I’m Australian so most of my Australian servers

#

But trust me you should try the showcases

#

And the trainings

#

Because if you don’t know how to play some people will get really pissy really fast

#

what should i play if i enjoy milsim games like gmod military rp

#

im good at fps dude

#

F p s ?

#

ArmA is way more than just an fps

#

lmao

#

not really

#

its an fps shooter

#

Honestly most of these maps are like 170 KM2

#

ok?

#

Fps don’t have that

#

why would that matter

#

Look if you wanna jump into multiplayer right away

rustic pelican Jun 25, 2019, 11:42 PM

#

Because Arma Is no fps

urban sluice Jun 25, 2019, 11:42 PM

#

Just look for a random server but don’t be surprised if people get angry

#

wdym random server

#

Exactly what I mean

humble zealot Jun 25, 2019, 11:42 PM

in Arma you also get no FPS 😄

urban sluice Jun 25, 2019, 11:43 PM

whaat server should i join if i like milsim

#

There’s no such thing as gmod military rp

#

You need to join a squad

ya there is

#looking_for_unit #looking_for_game are the right places

what kind of games do i wanna join tho

#

are they called milsim

#

I have played gmod mil rp and there is nothing like it

#

Also most of the milsim places require being in a squad

rustic pelican Jun 25, 2019, 11:44 PM

#

Yes is you wanna do military simulation you should join a milsim unit

urban sluice Jun 25, 2019, 11:45 PM

its not like squad where i can just join a game

rustic pelican Jun 25, 2019, 11:45 PM

But please before you try to get into a squad. Play the singplayer, at least the first 5 missions. The VR Training first

And it’s gonna ruin your experience

humble bane Jun 25, 2019, 11:46 PM

If you just want to join in ... in sort of MILSIM ... then KOTH is the game mode that might suit you

urban sluice Jun 25, 2019, 11:47 PM

rustic pelican Jun 25, 2019, 11:47 PM

#

Then you have to be in a unit

#

There are no public milsim server

urban sluice Jun 25, 2019, 11:48 PM

#

other games make it alot easier to play tho

#

i hate schedules n shit

rustic pelican Jun 25, 2019, 11:48 PM

#

Then you should bring back the game

humble zealot Jun 25, 2019, 11:49 PM

#

That might be true, but arma is a game that is slow, and takes time

rustic pelican Jun 25, 2019, 11:49 PM

#

People like you haven’t understand a sandbox game and shouldn’t play it

urban sluice Jun 25, 2019, 11:49 PM

From my experiences, it seems like it's just people who want to act like they're in the military but are either too uninterested, too out of shape, or too chicken to actually enlist in their country's armed forces but still want to boss other people around and shout in semi-accurate military lingo. I play Arma (3) rather casually, treating it as a giant open world military sandbox instead of a tough-as-nails simulator, yet my knowledge of military affairs is rather extensive (my parents are vets, and I've done a lot of research on military stuff for the novels I write). There are also people who play zombie modes, or people who play fast-paced deathmatch modes, or people who play a pathetic knockoff of Second Life, etc.

That's what I love the most about Arma - there are numerous ways to go about playing it.

humble bane Jun 26, 2019, 12:34 AM

brave oracle Jun 26, 2019, 1:35 AM

You know, I'm not quite sure. I've never really noticed before. All I do know is that I was playing earlier and I was able to turn the turret of a tank without the engine starting up.

Nothing major, just lighter retextures of AAF stuff. The Mora, the Zamak MLRS, and the AAF attack helo (can't recall the name) are the ones that spring to mind.

#

Unfortunately, near as far as I can tell, they lack tanks, jets and dedicated gunships a la the Kajman and Blackfoot.

By default, picking a Greefor faction makes Civs show up in white, hostiles red and friendlies blue... And LDF won't use digital camo.
