Lol
frail sequoia
but im thinking of upgrading to a i7 8700k but then i dont trust myself to put it in and theres not many trustable places to put it in for me lol
urban sluice
My cpu holds back 60% of my performance or something. I should've gone with a 1060 and i7 6700k or something.
@frail sequoia give me your i5 then, haha
6700k and 7700k are pretty much identical in performance suggest 6700k if you are on a budget
frail sequoia
Might sell it off 👀

I don't have a budget. Maybe 100 euros but that's it. I'm broke asf
How many cores can arma use?

many. dozen atleast

@urban sluice yeah everyone is tbh these days are hard... I live in Greece so it's pretty hard to have any extra money

So asking "how many can it use" isn't really a useful question ^^

So turn free content to 20 euro dlc?
I... I don't even know how many times it has been discussed here...

Well sorry, im not active in chat here
midnight condor
It's not like that. Some developers make content and sign some kind of agreement with BI, BI provides support with development (although we have seen it not do much of it, but still), also BI ensures high quality of the released DLC
They share the profit as well
slate charm
Okey that makes sense i guess. Although personally I'd much prefer optimisation and stability before new content xd
midnight condor
It was a rather hot topic when the first CDLC was released
Sure me too... from my point of view, slamming more and more DLC into a game with just such an insane amount of open bug tickets is strange, but probably their management has another view on this 🤷
slate charm
Ah well, there isn't anything we can do so no point complaining I guess

Anyone have any advice to make your ai teammates not die? I'm running C2 and vcom AI on single player Dynamic Ops Recon, pretty much ever time I get in contact they get smoked. I try to command them to cover and assign sectors of fire but it doesn't help
midnight condor
Ah well, there isn't anything we can do
Not really, we as customers can vote with money 🤔 Or we can be more optimistic and create even more tickets at the bug tracker
midnight oak
@azure crystal Trick is to move at there pace.
That means lots of scouting, and making proper tactical decisions as a squad lead. Avoid open ground as much as possible, make sure AI are watching(and you) your sectors as you individually order each one from point to point.
azure crystal
The map itself is rather open, Takistan. But, I see what you're saying, I'll try going a bit slower and be more deliberate

there is no official survival game mode in Arma. If you want official maybe look into DayZ.
There are as Lou said quite many different survival aspects filled modded gamemodes though, but I dont think theres anything to cut through trial and error to find out what you like. You'll just have to try them out

¯_(ツ)_/¯
Maybe when you are close enough to tell the color of your enemy's eyes
The MX is better for short and longer ranges.
balmy lotus
"overpowered" doesn't really apply in arma though. That's like saying 0.50 is "op" because it was designed to shred through light armor.
fluid nacelle
still love the type 115 and the TRG
sweet igloo
the most 'op' gun is probably the MX, mostly from its really good stats, and 3gl
balmy lotus
Navid has the penetration, damage, and considerably low recoil.
visual tiger
MX GL with 100 round mags is one of the most verstile weapons in the game. Would be the ultimate if it could mount the bipods (come on it even has the rails on the UGL barrel)
Although I personally roll with MX SW as my primary rifle, it has higher ROF and can use bipods. You still get the awesome 100 round mags in a very light package

Theres also a mod that auto-lowers your weapon when it intersects a wall
hearty island
@balmy lotus correct, MLO is not that tho
I swear that at one point barrel collision was a thing with guns
Yes. Arma 2.
quartz magnet
i wish the auto lower thing was there by default tbh
but something something engine limitations probably
i wish they'd at least have it for the AI so that they don't wallhack
although i don't understand why the AI's faces manage to clip through the view geometry as well
slate charm
Ya know the chemical warfare mod, does it have any modules to add gas clouds traveling around the map instead of just mortar strikes, and does it have grenades too?
wicked hinge
DayZ has weapon lowering/raising near objects, right?
quartz magnet
i think so
wicked hinge
I imagine it's likely then that the next arma game, whenever that is, will also have it
quartz magnet

foggy tendon
is there any mod that can lower the graphics?
quiet pine
the Video Settings panel?
olive brook
what wrong with putting it on the lowest settings?
also fyi lower graphics settings can actually decrease performance, something about lower settings being processed on the CPU instead of the GPU
foggy tendon
pc is trash
50 fps when lowest 720p 50%resolution
really?
quiet pine
edit your arma3.cfg and set it to 320×240
olive brook
yes
foggy tendon
my problem is low resolution makes me hard to see far
so i want to know if there is a way to make graphics very bad so i can run 1080p
olive brook
what view distance overall/object are you running, view distance is the biggest impact on performace, followed by things like AA/PP some other random things
99% of people see little to no fps increase from lowering typical graphics settings
quiet pine
Also if your PC is potato, your PC is potato - no -runOn640KBofRAM flag will magically make it run well
foggy tendon
i tried decreasing view distance but the main reason i want to decrease graphic is that i want to see far things more clearly with high resolution
if i decrease view distance i cant see far
quiet pine
also it's not all about graphics, the CPU is a liability too
foggy tendon
what is that runon640kbofram thing
quiet pine
…a joke
olive brook
most people on potatoes can manage at 1.5km object 2km overall on medium/high graphics settings but expecting for than 50fps in arma on a potato is not going to happen.
I played for close to 2000 hours at no more than 25fps, its part of playing arma, unless you have a i7
foggy tendon
im fine with 10+ fps
quiet pine
then set your resolution to your screen's resolution,
and everything else to the minimal
if performance is awful then, no luck, your machine won't do any better. Tweak and try, also, #hardware_vs_arma
foggy tendon
ok thanks
do viewdistance really matters
after installing the enhanced video settings mod, 2000 and 10000 view distance isnt much different
olive brook
also as i stated from my understanding lowest graphics settings tend to run on the cpu not the gpu so if the cpu is struggling doing simulation stuff it wont help to turn them down
quiet pine
YES view distance matters. terrain and object viewdistance both.

id like them to actually move and you know... attack...
olive brook
try lambs danger
you can combine it with vcom as well, which if set up with the right settings doesn't hit fps to hard
slate charm
what about vcom on its own? it looks nice, does it drain fps?
olive brook
depends what settings you use
iirc the tool tips hint at how much it may or may not cause fps drain, also depends if your running it on a server or sp
lambs danger theoretically has very little impact
runic jay
@midnight condor I guess a feature rich platform like A3 can have tons of bugs and the average player will still not bump into them day to day... actually I pretty seldom do
midnight condor
A developer still sees many problems
And arma still brings money because of the mod community
runic jay
Ha, the developer is maybe a good point. I wouldn't expect things to be quite as smooth to a modder/dev as for a player in most gaming platforms.
midnight condor
Of course, as a developer you expect to use the game as a reliable platform on top of which you build your idea, but the more you mess with it the move problems you see at top of problems at top of problems
Player won't notice problems because the addon developer will either not use the broken feature or find a way around it
urban sluice
Definitely don't start testing how parts of the game work and/or modding the game if you want to remain the illusion that all is well!
A good rule to avoid seeing bugs is never watch the AI in Zeus during a mission, that way you wont see all the wonky stuff they do especially in vehicles.

Oh yeah
You gave an idea for an addon, it will scan screen for all friendly AIs and put a giant black rectangle on them so that you can't see them xD

I don't have to impress anyone. Our Team has done a very outstanding job with the mods. The community seem to see it the same way if one takes a Look on the steam workshop pages.
remote steppe
in the end they're mods done by people in their free time
urban sluice
its so weird, people find it appropriate to talk shit about free mods
remote steppe
it's like that everywhere
the half life 2 community is even worse, i am modding there
or rather working on projects, sometimes it's just meh
lone niche
@tranquil bay No, you do not. If you wish people to use your mod, then it should impress them somewhat. The fact that I'm not impressed doesn't mean - and you can easily see this right here, right now - that noone else is. At the end of the day, do YOU feel like you're giving it your all, like you're creating the best you can, do YOU feel like you have something to offer people? THAT is what matters, not my God damned opinion, whatever it may be. As long as YOU feel that what you're doing is worthwhile, then it IS. The thing is, there will ALWAYS be people like me, and they may be in a bad mood, and they may have some decent observations, but as long as it's not constructive, what does their opinion matter.
That said, while I do see assets that look like RHS, assets that look like VSM and assets that are still flat out A2OA, I don't remember seeing the uniform on the commander guy before. Sure, it could be from a mod that I don't know or don't remember, but you know what the truth is. That is what matters.
Heck, this got philosophical.
remote steppe
it got philosophical and it literally doesn't matter
tranquil bay
Again, all that was shown in the picture was CUP content. Not tanken from rhs or vsm (what ever that is) . There are some modders who are not with CUP but still contribute to it like toadie and other Model donations
And yes, we are very happy with what CUP is now and where Our path leads to

@lone niche You do realise that VSM has been banned from Arma because they were illegal rips from other games right? So, do us all a favour and don't compare the two.
Secondly, if you're here to "trash talk" as you put it, you may leave as it's not compatible with our rules. You are entitled to have your own opinion of Mod A vs Mod B, but not if it falls afoul of our #rules. Thanks

They were, huh. That's actually new...
Anyway, trash talking isn't the purpose for which I came. It happens, because I tend to be vocal about my opinions, but I don't come over for it. And don't worry, I tend to come and go from a great many discords as I please. Who knows when, but sooner or later you'll get a break from me.

Here's some more information. The NOD's (I assume you mean the night vision goggles) are AN/PVS-15, done by me, from scratch, as well as the Opscore FAST helmets... They are not taken from any other mod, nor are they available in anything else but in CUP (these specific models, mind you)

Hey, I'm pretty new to the mod side of arma 3 and was wandering if anyone had tips on joining modded servers, ones that use mods such as the RHS series. Any help would be appreciated. (PS. I'm assuming that the A3 Launcher is required)
thin sable
launcher shows and downloads mods for you, the steam a3 launcher that is
no idea about the extenral ones.
grand carbon
ah right okay i'll have a look now cheers
elder magnet
I thought you could add externally downloaded mods in Arma 3 Launcher via a custom folder option, but IDK. Had to do that for a few mods, but I forget the exact process.
thin sable
you can
simples way especially if one is new is just to use workshop mods and the launcher
visual tiger
damn launcher. It just deleted some of the local copies of the mods I had, it happened again
I had some custoimized stuff there, now poof, all gone
the launcher should NEVER touch local copies of workshop mods. I can live with having to to add them back to the launcher, but them getting deleted for no reason without any way of restoring them is just infuriating
knotty plinth
Are you sure they're not just unlisted in the launcher?
visual tiger
nope, gone from HDD
knotty plinth
I've had difficulties before with the SW mods but never local, and this is going on 3-4 years
visual tiger
this is the third time it happened
It seems that the laucher deletes local mods that have the same folder names as the workshop mods
knotty plinth
And it's just Arma related? nothing else going poof?
visual tiger
just arma
It would be nice if the laucher appended the local folder with "_local" suffix ("ace_local" etc.) this way it would prevent local mods from getting deleted when stuff gets corrupt or steam workshop soils its pants again
fringe isle
thats why I use github and have it ignore the pbos,but thats a big sad my guy, F for respec 😦 rip local mods

@fringe isle Fortunately my custom stuff, that is not in folders named the same way as workshop mods is fine.

F, the game has anime mods tho XD

I haven't heard of the launcher deleting local mods.
I have a folder in Arma named Local, and I just add that as a watched folder. I don't think I've had things randomly delete from there.
visual tiger
local copies of workshop mods to be exact
earnest sinew
Yeah I usually copy the @folder from !Workshop in there if I need to edit it. I have like two copies of ACE in there currently. Of course their mod.cpp name is edited.
visual tiger
I used the copy as local mod.
earnest sinew
hm. what a strange occurence.
visual tiger
as I said, its the third time it happened. Previous times it was along with SW completely depring out and having me redownload all of the mods, over 100GB of stuff. I wasnt the only one that had this happen to them
earnest sinew
yeah that was like, a month or so ago. Soemthing messed up with the workshop and it deleted all local workshop mods and redownloaded repeatedly
visual tiger
yeah, it deleted the local copies of SW mods as well, not just the ones in workshop folder
earnest sinew
I didn't have that happen to me, but I guess stranger things have happened

But your machine should run Arma fine - depends on the MP mode you play, a poorly designed mission can not be helped, even on a supercomputer!

Arma performance seems to rely on the amount of AI, and any mods. AI mods like VCOM seem to really make them think and slow down performance.

@urban sluice sometimes it depends your doing and where you are, in the situation im providing im using altis warlords as an example in cities for example your fps shits itself. If your flying for long periods of time(for me in warlords my fps drops to like 15. After about 30 mins of flying) dropping the view distance to 2k helps alot(lets face it most of the time your pressing R for the radar anyway)and ill go back to 60. When im back on the ground i increase it back to max and ill get around 30-50(unless its in a city ill get like 15-20) the amount of AI has an effect to, (in warlords theres alot of ai around most of the time) so that has a big impact aswell. I also notice smaller maps (stratis for examlle ) dont lag as much and you can have 6 ai max as opposed to 4 on altis and on the stratis version theres also AI commanders that fill in untill a player logs in and take their spot.( They also spawn in units vehicles etc and utilize all the features a normal player can) and i still stay around 20-30. anyways going a bit off topic but these are my experience with playing warlords sorry if this too long
Tldr:map ai view distance gamemode flying for extended periods of time
@urban sluice I've noticed the AI lag and viewdistance indeed, That's why i'm working rn on getting Headless clients to connect to take over the AI workload off the server and the Dynamic View Distance mod that was mentioned earlier
That should fix most of the common issues
Is this for your own server
Yes, but right now i'm running into the issue that headless clients and linux seem to be a bad combination
flint plover
Are you using the dedicated server executable to run the headless client?
urban sluice
Yes
./arma3server -client -connect=192.168.0.105 -port=2302 -name="HC1" -profile="HC1" -nosound -mod=@CBA_A3;@ace;@acex
It doesnt seem to want to load in a profile and the steamapi initalization seem to be rather important
I get the common Client kicked due to failed Steam checks: Invalid ticket - Ticket invalid error, tried basically everything that you can find on google, but i'm not giving up just yet
flint plover
Don't really know much about profiles but I think you need backslashes before the semicolons in the mod parameters on Linux according to the documentation
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Startup_Parameters#Modifications
In Linux multiple folders arguments need the following separation syntax:
-mod=mod1\;mod2\;mod3
urban sluice
The mods load in succesfully, so that shouldnt be the issue but let me try
I guess i just have to fix the Steam issue since well You were kicked off the game. Steam authentication failed.
flint plover
Has the headless client profile been configured to "agree" to BattlEye + is that profile loading?
urban sluice
It loads in the default headlessclient profile and i've added the battleeye agreement to it's config
flint plover
Next thing I can see is that headless clients apparently need Steam to be running
urban sluice
Yeah and this vm has the issue that it doesnt wanna initialize the steam api and since it's a docker image i cant fix that
flint plover
No idea then

I'll eventually get it fixed

you dont have to dm him. you can upload the picture into imgur or some other place like that and post the link here
though preferably on the #arma3_troubleshooting

You do. Have imgur. Everyone does.
This discord is a great place to get help.
If you DM people you:
Indirectly say that you don't care/trust about what everyone else might tell you
You annoy a person who might not currently have time for you, instead of asking in public and getting help by whoever has time.
You might be crossposting by PM'ing people while also asking in public which says both "I don't trust these idiots on the public discord to be able to help me, so I DM you" and also "I don't trust you idiot to be able to help me, so I also ask in public discord"
And it also says that you don't have the patience or will to research on your own. And rather just try to annoy as many people as possible in the hopes to find someone who will play your helper slave and serve your solution on a silver tablet
finite relic
What's wrong with DMs? Is it annoying? Also, I tried searching how to know which heli has FRIES but no results. I pratically have the whole blackhawk mods.
Not all helicopters are equipped with a FRIES by default and need to be synchronized with the “Equip FRIES” module in the editor. If the helicopter cannot carry a FRIES, an error message will appear.
^ this is the point I was trying to make. You haven't even read the information you have been given

Sorry dude, but most people hate such people. Who just want everything chewed through for them without doing some effort on their own. So please. Stop writing, read up for half an hour, try around in the editor and THEN come back, if it still doesn't work.
Then go to #arma3_troubleshooting, explain where you are stuck and what you've tried.

If you are using mod vehicles, you have to make sure they are either mod compatible, or you have the compatability stuff loaded
finite relic
Lessons you should have learned.
- READ
- Learn what things are before asking
- Use the resources that are available
- When in doubt, GOOGLE!
Then you should log off and throw your computing device out the window because you have no business using one.
hearty island
they probably do
but you don't have the compatability mods
thus, the mod doesn't know that they could technically support it
the mods have to tell eachother what they can/cannot do
otherwise you end up with a flying quadcopter drone, which has rapelling...
or a racing kart, which can drag a tank wreck back to base...
finite relic
I can...hopefully show what mods I have
We didn't ask
hearty island
Or a civilian cessna, able to drop nuclear bombs
use google.
Find the mod your helicopter is from.
And combine it with the mod who's feature you want to use, and the name of the feature.
Like "RHS ACE Fastroping with blackhawk"
finite relic
The ACE team did not create all of that documentation just so people wouldn't read it. Do yourself (and us) a favour by informing yourself. Then, hop on to the Forum, where you will find many years of Arma related information.

basically right now youre asking someone else to do the work for you
candid horizon
Are you writing a compatibility addon or are you using a specific one?
Well if I see that correctly, you are using RHS with the ACE Compatibility addon for RHS, right?
urban sluice
@urban sluice Start off by installing the ACE Mod, by default it makes a bunch of helicopters FRIES capable
candid horizon
Okay, it depends on the ACE compatibilty addon then, but I would suspect that the UH-60 will be FRIES capable.
You might just place one in the editor and try it out.
(Why do I have to wait 20 seconds until I can type again 😐 )
Put yourself into the cargo, drag the chopper up a bit, and see if you have the action to deploy ropes
You have ACE loaded? If so, you should have two Interaction keys, one "Self Interaction" and one "Interaction". The latter should allow you to deploy ropes
urban sluice
UH 1Y - Hasn't got a FRIES checkbox in 3den editor
UH 1Y (unarmed) - Hasn't got a FRIES checkbox in 3den editor
UH 60 MEV - FRIES Bar has incorrect attachment point
UH 60 - FRIES Bar can't be equipped ingame via "Configure Pylon"
UH 60 (unarmed) - FRIES Bar has incorrect attachment point and
FRIES Bar can't be equipped ingame via "Configure Pylon"
UH 60 (EWS) - FRIES Bar has incorrect attachment point
UH 60 (ESSS) - FRIES Bar has incorrect attachment point
UH 60 MEV (ESSS) - Hasn't got a FRIES checkbox in 3den editor and
FRIES Bar can't be equipped ingame via "Configure Pylon"
UH 80 - FRIES Bar can't be equipped ingame via "Configure Pylon"
AW 159 (unarmed) - FRIES Bar can't be equipped ingame via "Configure Pylon"
So you know which ones not to try
candid horizon
Good luck

A Cessna that can drop nukes @hearty island. I want that soooooooo much 😉
I know... I have to mod it myself... 🤔
Yes. But I worked it out for myself and it made me a better person for doing so. Had you not already been given all the information you need and then utterly ignored it I might consider helping. But...
You have already been told this... No scripting involved: "Not all helicopters are equipped with a FRIES by default and need to be synchronized with the “Equip FRIES” module in the editor. If the helicopter cannot carry a FRIES, an error message will appear"
Place Modules > ACE > Equip FRIES. Then sync to the helo
You have done no research on Google. Likterally the second answer on Google to how do I sync a module to a unit is a BI forum thread whos first answer to the question tells you how to do it
humble bane
It would appear that the module does not exist anymore. Try putting this in the vehicle's init: sqf [this] call ace_fastroping_fnc_equipFRIES
@urban sluice 👆
If it gives an error when you try to use it like "xxx has not been configured for ACE_Fastroping" then it won't do FRIES
You may need to turn on script errors as a start parameter for ARMA in the launcher to see that error...

Guys, you missed the part where it was all explained to Mr. Obvious troll for almost 2 hours. Then, just as I announced I was going to bed for the night, he started the conversation up again.
@urban sluice You can say " told you so now".
urban sluice
🤷 Sure looked to me like he used accounts on Steam to troll me there, one heck of a coincidence if he didn't given the timing and language used. I blocked him out when I said I did so I didn't care any further. Once abused I block the account everywhere and move on with my life.

@midnight condor Or just leave it running in the background without suspending it

I think it still takes CPU, no?
Or maybe it's due to -nopause I generally use

Wouldn't it be nice if you could just toggle on/off noPause whenever you wanted 🤔
urban sluice
It falls into a category of debuggability for me, it is one small part of being able to step and run code and replace and rerun in a nice way. Sometimes you want it running in the background, sometimes you want it paused, basic debugger stuff with breakpoints and such. Basic tooling for a programming language really.
hearty island
If we had a UI for my debugger, I'd add the ability to switch that 😄
urban sluice
I am going through the cycle again today as I add some new features to the subskills and thinking how much time I waste relaunching the game and loading a test scenario and running it through and looking in the logs for output, over and over. It is so immensely unproductive compared to well any programming language in the last 25 years
I am used to getting a unit test giving me feedback in like a second, maybe a complete functional test in a minute at worst on big systems. I can't even hot code replace let alone keyboard shortcut to run a test and assert results.
hearty island
Few weeks ago I started a live particle editor mod. Made the designers move from having to restart Arma for every small change, to be able to change everything live without restarting or respawning the particle or anything.
That was a huge production boost
urban sluice
There is a VSCode plugin that utilises the code replacement stuff that Arma can support given its limitations. The problem is the plugin uses a hard link not a symbolic one and after I ended up deleting all my code accidentally I stopped using it. The mode is pretty limited though as you can't change event handler direct called code or change config or a bunch of other limitations that often times mean you just have to restart to be sure the code genuinely doesn't work because the hot replace is so restricted.
So while that exists I don't use it, spent a lot of time chasing shadow problems that only existed because of the issues.
hearty island
you can't change event handler direct called code
Shouldn't be a problem as you shouldn't have any big code in there anyway due to the recompilation issue

https://s.sqf.ovh/firefox_2019-10-09_09-08-30.png I strongly suggest you read our rules and don't do that ever again @dry geyser
urban sluice
The time saved just got lost on weird problems in my experience and loosing a bunch of pretty great code was disheartening. It is logically consistent though so you can learn the rules and save some time, sometimes.
It is a massive distance away from good programming capabilities though with full hot code replacement with debugger attachment and rapid unit and functional test capabilities.
hearty island
If you want SQF unit testing then you can write your own. CBA has that for most of their main stuff.
hot code replacement you can mostly get if you use CfgFunctions or similar with filePatching
You just have to tell it to reload
urban sluice
For a lot of the stuff I am doing I run into the filepatching issues. Today I am working on routines post init for players to ascertain terrain vision on player groups. Most of the question of vision is done already but to whom and how to launch is what I will be getting done, ie not hot replaceable stuff for the most part. That is pretty typical in my experience for stuff that isn't libraries of functions.
The deeper we have got into modding stuff as a community the more warts we kind of determined. One of our guys is working on a terrain and at one point some of us were trying to get a workflow where we could work on it collaboratively, we abandoned that plan, way too many issues. I just don't think it is very productive environment, the tools aren't very modern and capable. Hopefully the next set will give us at least some basics like a debugger with remote pause and replay and hot code replacement and dynamic configuration adjustment and all the stuff that would mean we could launch the game once a day and just "work".
Your stuff has certainly helped in a bunch of areas, the profiler helped me track down a bunch of issues that the basic game didn't do a good job with. But then we also had that weird particles issue with Antistasi that we could never track down. It isn't really something the community should be filling in. I just see -nopause as part of those types of issues of Arma as a platform and the need to pause and unpause is about poor man debugging.

Hey guys. I'm trying to do RAV lifter but I'm confused on steps 3, 4 and 5
1 - Place the folder containing the module (@RAV_lifter_A3) in arma3 folder.
2 - Enter to arma3 (Configure/Expansions) enable the module and restart arma3.
3 - Start the mission editor (SP and MP).
4 - Select modules to the editor (F7).
5 - Look it in the "Misc" section.
6 - Enjoy it.
Steps 2 and 3 I actually did. But it seems there is so F7 module in eden?
finite relic
3 == open the editor
4 == go to the "modules" section in the editor
5 == it will be located in "misc"

I do not see the section, "misc"

Arma by default has remarkably consistent frame times, it is actually a poster child for how consistent frame times can be even when CPU dominated. A bad script though could easily have broken it of course so it is going to depend on the mode played.
Great so at least you know it is specific to those game modes. Just don't play on those.
