so ARMA 3 is on sale on steam. The normal edition is $9 but the ultimate edition is $40. Should i get either?

placid spoke Jun 29, 2020, 3:27 PM

#

Apex Edition is my go if you want

peak cradle Jun 29, 2020, 3:27 PM

#

Personally I would suggest to get the Apex edition as a minimum, but the Ultimate edition is if you want it all 😉

@worn geyser
FYI a decent chunk of that 20k is behind passworded communities that play custom made missions with structured gameplay on a weekly routine, but all of them are always looking for new members in #communities_arma3 and that kind of gameplay is where Arma truely shines, the rest of the server are public, running a mix of CoOp, PvP and RP game modes

i know player unknown made the first iteration of his battle royale in arma

#

and i wonder: what other games started with arma?

placid spoke Jun 29, 2020, 3:47 PM

#

DayZ

urban sluice Jun 29, 2020, 3:48 PM

#

really? didnt know that at all

placid spoke Jun 29, 2020, 3:48 PM

#

And probably other “survival games” gene is started from Arma 2

#

Actually, battle royal games were started from DayZ

reef tartan Jun 29, 2020, 4:31 PM

#

not from Minecraft Survival Games that was inspired by the Hunger Games books/movies?
But yes there is a DayZ mod for Arma 2.

i know reb is rebellion but idk who the inv is

peak cradle Jun 29, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

#info_help_tips is a great start to start with Arma, and especially the bootcamp mission are a good way to learn about the game mechanics

ashen ingot Jun 29, 2020, 5:09 PM

#

i did the bootcamp but i was meaning more of getting used to multiplayer dynamic of the game and some other stuff like that

peak cradle Jun 29, 2020, 5:14 PM

#

MP is too versatile to have someone explain it, since Arma is a sandbox game, meaning everything is possible and there is no "one size fits all"

quiet pine Jun 29, 2020, 5:14 PM

#

also, it's better to learn walking in SP so you can run in MP 😉

peak cradle Jun 29, 2020, 5:15 PM

#

However, take a look at #communities_arma3 and find a group to join which fits your playstyle. I'm sure that a lot of communities will be happy to help newcomers getting into the game (and is a great way to find friends as well)

west ginkgo Jun 29, 2020, 6:35 PM

Remember to play the showcase scenarios

royal kayak Jun 29, 2020, 6:37 PM

#

infantry showcase is ridiculously hard imo. at least if all your team mates die before you even reach the town, and they only take down 2 enemies... it's like friendly AI is braindead while enemy AI is specops /)_-

#

still, can be beaten all alone.

mental juniper Jun 29, 2020, 6:38 PM

#

I think thats one of the few I never finished since its p much just campaign mission iirc

royal kayak Jun 29, 2020, 6:38 PM

now the combined arms showcase is a fun one! 😄

@empty island It's a sandbox that Infinitely modable, where Arma shines is joining a community that plays in-house made missions (this is called milsim) a couple of times a week with anything from 6-100+players. Most of the popular public servers are running a combination of CooP, PvP and RP in various forms

safe turret Jun 30, 2020, 9:43 AM

#

hey guys

#

i used to be in a task force clan doing tactical missions but they kicked me out of my age, its been a while and i kinda wanna get back into milsimming, but ive forgot a lot

#

does anyone have any tips or know where i can go to get myself back and running

quiet pine Jun 30, 2020, 9:45 AM

safe turret Jun 30, 2020, 10:01 AM

#

by any chance is there also a police community besides just milsim?

wary ocean Jun 30, 2020, 10:07 AM

#

It's probably out there...somewhere

#

Actually, iirc i saw a Police community somewhere. I don't remember the name, though. I think it was SWAT? There's most likely a normal police community too, since Life Servers are a thing

safe turret Jun 30, 2020, 10:15 AM

#

i’ll take a look

urban sluice Jun 30, 2020, 10:16 AM

#

There is a swat mod that we utilise occasionally but Arma doesn't really do building clearing very well so its something we do kind of rarely.

#

Things like flashbangs I recall took a bit of doing, I think the ACE ones turned out to work the best but also still quite hard to use well.

how do i check a servers ip, or send a link to it or what ever can let me share the server, pls help

quiet pine Jun 30, 2020, 11:29 AM

I don't remember, but can't you "invite to lobby" through Steam? @urban sluice

urban sluice Jun 30, 2020, 11:31 AM

#

@quiet pine i dont know how to do that either

#

where do i find that option? is it in arma or the steam overlay?

quiet pine Jun 30, 2020, 11:32 AM

#

Steam overlay, right-click on your friend

urban sluice Jun 30, 2020, 11:36 AM

#

it doesnt work, i really need to find the ip of the server so my friend can direct connect

quiet pine Jun 30, 2020, 11:43 AM

#

in the MP browser, isn't the IP listed? in the server details (bottom)?

peak cradle Jun 30, 2020, 11:48 AM

#

The Launcher shows the IP address (and port) of any server when you click on the arrow on the right.

thin sable Jun 30, 2020, 12:05 PM

Server browser in launcher has friend tab

Which shows what server your friends are playing on.

feral reef Jun 30, 2020, 7:08 PM

Yeah

#

Depends on which gamemode you play.
For beginners and quick action (without Mods) -> King of the Hill (KotH)

#

Also the Official Servers with their gamemods. And if you find a Server that you can not join -> You start going down the Rabbithole, called: "Mods"

glass acorn Jun 30, 2020, 7:10 PM

so im fairly new to the game what mods are needed??

feral reef Jun 30, 2020, 7:10 PM

Depends on what you wanna play.

glass acorn Jun 30, 2020, 7:11 PM

dusky valley Jun 30, 2020, 7:11 PM

Nothing is needed. It just expands or changes.

feral reef Jun 30, 2020, 7:11 PM

#

RPG, DM, TDM, Coop, Survival, etc.
There is literaly a 🦆load of different gamemodes available, since: Sandbox.

glass acorn Jun 30, 2020, 7:12 PM

#

mmm ok thats makes it easy to find games then right?

feral reef Jun 30, 2020, 7:12 PM

#

Start the A3 Launcher, open the Serverlist, check it out.

#

The Launcher will also help you finding Mods (if needed).
But as mentioned before: Join an official BI Server or KotH (mostly no mods needed)

dusky valley Jun 30, 2020, 7:13 PM

#

There are about 5000 servers for multiplay. Some private, some open, some official. Most probably have mods in one way or another but plenty will be vanilla.

Not required, but Apex is advised

I remember this funny moment in Dayz where these two russians were talking, like everyone could hear them across the map and everyone told them to shut up, so instead I starting blasting, the American national anthem, and America F- yeah. So the server mod came in after I already stopped to tell everyone to stop.
Then the Russian started playing the soviet national anthem and got banned.
And thus the dayz cold war ended.

I've had this idea for a few days and I want to know what you good people think. Arma 4, but instead of a completely new game it's a revamped arma 3, with backwards compatibility to the old dlc and mods (to some degree, I don't mean that all mods for arma 3 will fit this theoretical arma 4, rather that porting mods across won't require making them from scratch.). The new game will have all the content from the old one, + a new island, a new campaign and a phisics engine that don't suck doodoo.

#

That way rather than starting from scratch on a new game, Bohemia could iron out the foundational problems of the old one, and not loose much content in the process.

Arma 3s banned in Iran? Ride on..

urban sluice Jul 1, 2020, 6:50 AM

#

@raven furnace I still get that feeling 80 hours in

placid spoke Jul 1, 2020, 6:52 AM

#

Obviously Arma 3 is banned in Iran. Due to "Iran is evil" depiction

charred wolf Jul 1, 2020, 7:05 AM

#

well arent they

finite relic Jul 1, 2020, 7:32 AM

#

Thats a discussion for #offtopic_politics not here.

charred wolf Jul 1, 2020, 7:32 AM

#

oh ok

west ginkgo Jul 1, 2020, 7:59 AM

#

So "Arma politics" belong to #offtopic_politics 😄

charred wolf Jul 1, 2020, 8:00 AM

#

its illegal to ask why the aaf attacked nato

finite relic Jul 1, 2020, 8:04 AM

#

@west ginkgo No, calling an entire county "evil" has no place in a non-political channel. You will also find that such labelling also violates our rules.

@charred wolf No, it isn't because its fictional lore.

charred wolf Jul 1, 2020, 8:04 AM

#

isnt that related to arma tho?

#

im not literally calling the entire country of iran evil

#

i mean in terms of arma lore

placid spoke Jul 1, 2020, 8:06 AM

#

I put the quote sign to the sentence because it's a false statement (at least) in real life. I know the concerning so I won't continue this here anymore though

finite relic Jul 1, 2020, 8:06 AM

#

isnt that related to arma tho?

No, it isn't

charred wolf Jul 1, 2020, 8:07 AM

#

wait

#

but i thought this was for talking about arma, so does the lore not count since its "technically politics"

#

i could be wrong about iran being evil in arma lore but im in no way talking about the irl nation of iran

sooo i just got the game. and idk wtf im doing xD

so does arma lore count as politics under the rules?

You can blame CSAT instead

The fact that you have to be spoon fed this is very frustrating. I've made myself explicitly clear.

Here's a lil question, are there high power scopes compatible with nvg's? (And is there a list I can check?)

placid spoke Jul 1, 2020, 8:37 AM

#

None, since we can't aim down scopes with that “big” NVGs. That's how it works

urban sluice Jul 1, 2020, 8:38 AM

#

So there's no way to snipe with night vision? Are there nvd scopes? Or is there absolutely no solution?

@urban sluice meh I'd rather have them working on bringing Arma to the new Engine than trying to rework arma on the old Engine

urban sluice Jul 1, 2020, 9:24 AM

#

Id be fine with what he said on enfus, if the amount of work reusing old assets is less than creating new assets, id be completely fine with the same game on a new engine. the only thing I can ask for in a game as advanced as arma is better optimization

wide lion Jul 1, 2020, 9:25 AM

#

the new physics engine in arma 3 required all assets to redo their physics 😛

fossil ermine Jul 1, 2020, 9:26 AM

#

thought A4 discussions are a bit of a taboo. otherwise that is precisely what bi is doing. and tbh, from what i know, i really doubt it will be backwards compatible in terms of mods

urban sluice Jul 1, 2020, 9:26 AM

#

👀 pufu himself

fossil ermine Jul 1, 2020, 9:26 AM

#

or anything close to porting A2 content to A3

#

in any case, that is not such a big deal

wide lion Jul 1, 2020, 9:27 AM

#

arma 2 worlds are probably the closest thing to being workable in arma 3 without porting. but that's because the AiA and later on CUP team did all the work of porting the arma 2 assets and world configs

urban sluice Jul 1, 2020, 9:28 AM

#

it will be a sad day when/if a3 talk has to go to #end_of_life_arma

fossil ermine Jul 1, 2020, 9:28 AM

#

somehow i would prefer some sort of clean slate in terms of modding, maybe that way we loose some 🦆 ing rips and alike

i am looking forward to that day happening

urban sluice Jul 1, 2020, 9:30 AM

it would be I guess like looking back on to MS Frontpage or Dreamweaver

fossil ermine Jul 1, 2020, 9:38 AM

#

besides content wise, content is content, if you have backed up models and textures besides adjusting for A3, most of thatcan be used cross engine

their APS system can be disabled with single config tweak if you really want to use it without that tho.

😂 😂 no worries looking forward to it tank itself looks bada55

heady quest Jul 1, 2020, 10:32 AM

#

Content != content. In forms of textures you might need to do some stuff. Switch to PBR means more maps and older maps need touch ups. There are workflows to port standard materials to pbr and vice versa, but if you want them to look actually good, you need to go an extra mile

fossil ermine Jul 1, 2020, 10:44 AM

#

yeah, that being said, considering SP is the norm these days, if you have the project done that way, it is darn easy to use it cross engine

#

What's wrong with Gamespot, IGN and other major reviewers,

#

they're making up problems with ArmA games to lower their score, like wtf.

quiet pine Jul 1, 2020, 12:45 PM

ArmA is an old game
Arma (3) is less old though

placid spoke Jul 1, 2020, 12:45 PM

B-but it's already 7 yo

ArmA is 13, soon to be 14

peak cradle Jul 1, 2020, 12:50 PM

#

In the end, it's not a game from a large studio which matter if the studio boycotts the website by not sending goodies or free games.
So they're a bit more honest, and to be fair I didn't see anything which wasn't true (like the performance issues at release).

quiet pine Jul 1, 2020, 12:53 PM

#

Arma 3 on release was still way better than Arma 2 (and A1) on release

urban sluice Jul 1, 2020, 12:55 PM

#

I'm talking about Arma 3 lmao

#

They're calling it a 7.0/10 with "bad voice acting" and an "unnecessary storyline"

peak cradle Jul 1, 2020, 12:55 PM

although... if a new BF or COD gets released and has issues at start, it's only mentioned and still gets a 9+

the learning curve is really steep and it doesn't tell you about some mechanics.
and the bots are really hard to kill, even on a low difficulty.

I have over 2 hours on it, so i cant refund it.

radiant moss Jul 1, 2020, 8:52 PM

#

if you have a background of understanding military tactics and movements, honestly it's not a difficult learning curve; the IRL knowledge you have actually applies, you just need to get the technical side of things like the keybinds and how you do more advanced stuff

#

that's part of the greatness of the game imo; lots of other shooters if you do what you should do IRL, you'll be punished, because you're expected to game it in a particular way

why are the servers so bad that you get like 30fps on any settings with a 1060 6GB and ryzen 7 2700x

if the game plays well in solo, then it's either network or mission or server perf that are at play

Hello fellow pew pew men

solar tapir Jul 2, 2020, 10:48 PM

#

There's a lot of duplicate reports, but it does seem like at least two PR guys have noticed the issue, so there's that. Seems like it's a high priority task, too, so that's nice to know.

As for people not messing with audio devices mid game, it can't be helped sometimes. The usual SL in my unit has a damaged headphone jack, so from time to time it fully disconnects and reconnects immediately. Problem is he then has to restart his game entirely or push on with zero audio outside of TS or Discord. Audio devices can also "crash", depending on the driver. And you can always accidentally open the game before plugging in your headset.

Also, I'm not russian, I just like that song a lot.

Wow that’s a essay if I’ve ever seen one

peak cradle Jul 2, 2020, 10:51 PM

broken headphone jack: buy new headphones
crashing audio devices: never had that issue with stable drivers

#

I do agree that it's annoying when something happens, although I believe it's more a Windows/Driver issue than Arma related.

I do agree that it's annoying when something happens, although I believe it's more a Windows/Driver issue than Arma related.
@peak cradle But.. it literally only happens in Arma 2, 2 OA, and 3. Not even ArmA has this issue. It's probably to do with how RV handles audio devices, as it seems to also break anything related to audiohandlers in the game's code. Which actually impacts the function of the game. That, and the examples I cited are just that, examples.

tranquil bay Jul 2, 2020, 11:11 PM

#

@solar tapir
you are right, this has been an issue for a long time. but unfortunately this will most likely not be fixed with arma 3. i'm not sure how much effort a fix would take, but considered the fact that BI already has relocated assets to other projects and not many are left for arma 3, i think this will never be resolved.

solar tapir Jul 2, 2020, 11:12 PM

#

That's a real shame

tranquil bay Jul 2, 2020, 11:16 PM

there are some more issues related to audio that should have been addressed way earlier in the arma 3 lifetime, but it is what it is.

Although those units usually have more problems, some units also allowed people in under their normal age limit if they have reason to believe that they'll behave well

afaik, arma is PEGI 16. depending on the geographical location of a unit, allowing minors under the minimum age restriction of the game to participate can be even illegal in their country

Apex Expansion is must go, Laws of War DLC is must if you want to enjoy something new in singleplayer

Before you proceed, don't forget that Arma 3 Apex Edition is the bundle, and cheaper than buying Arma 3 and Apex separately

Also check the pin in this topic, Czech "Getting Started" article

Yes. They have some restrictions and (annoying) ads but you can use every single of them without owning them

Arma 3 isn't a game "you need to own DLC in order to play with owners"

quaint terrace Jul 3, 2020, 3:29 AM

Really? Im looking at one of the DLC pages and it says it adds the F/A 181. I can use it even without the dlc bought and downloaded?

At least you can try without owning. You can't perform "get in action" but if you managed to sit into, you can use (with ads)

maybe its just my taste or something

but the arma 3 faces look kinda stupid sometimes

an example?

finite relic Jul 3, 2020, 7:18 AM

#

Imagine the die on the left being an OFP head and the die on the right being an A3 head.

Not only is the image quality and detail better on an A3 head, but so is actual shape of the head.

whats all this i'm hearing about ACE Medical not working properly

radiant moss Jul 3, 2020, 1:58 PM

#

they updated it ages ago

#

and now it's buggy as something and sometimes will glitch out and make people unrevivable

#

people being in pain but not shown as in pain or something like that

tranquil bay Jul 3, 2020, 2:00 PM

#

never experienced that

radiant moss Jul 3, 2020, 2:00 PM

#

i've observed it myself as well as heard it from multiple instructor level medics highly knowledgeable on the subject

#

though they'd be better able to explain all of the flaws with it ofc

wicked hinge Jul 3, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

I can't say I've ever had such bugs with ace medical

Does anyone know how many mines the rhs m1132 can run over?

little galleon Jul 3, 2020, 2:03 PM

ah right, so it's just sometimes buggy

if you drive it slowly enough it can drive over infinite mines

I thought the scoop gets damaged after every mine,

wicked hinge Jul 3, 2020, 2:04 PM

#

I dunno, can't say I ever noticed it getting damaged

#

tested it once in the editor, must've "cleared" like 20 AT mines and it was fine

cyan ferry Jul 3, 2020, 2:04 PM

#

Huh, I'm sad it doesn't work for zeus placed mines... They have to be player placed

wicked hinge Jul 3, 2020, 2:05 PM

#

that seems odd

cyan ferry Jul 3, 2020, 2:05 PM

#

I tried placing a mine field and driving over it, none of them got activated, but the second I took a m1126, it blew up

wicked hinge Jul 3, 2020, 2:06 PM

#

what kind of mines did you place?

cyan ferry Jul 3, 2020, 2:07 PM

#

Thankfully my unit's Zeus only places mines and IEDs by hand so it's not a big problem, I placed small IEDs, APERS bounding, rhs AT, base game AT, also large IEDs will completely nuke the vehicle, unless you are cup because cup is weird and broken

#

I even tried cup mines

#

I just drove over them and the guy behind me blew up, and it doesn't detonate on me

#

@wicked hinge

wicked hinge Jul 3, 2020, 2:10 PM

Unless someone else has different results on their server, I hope RHS fixes this issue... As I've killed a friendly Vic... Or whole convoy

#

puddlegek

peak cradle Jul 3, 2020, 2:18 PM

#

If you run/drive fast enough you might be able to dodge the bullet, but the guy behind will eat the dirt.
Although it's usually caused due to some lag which causes the IED to be slow.

cyan ferry Jul 3, 2020, 2:20 PM

#

No, I mean, it won't detonate at all untill the guy behind me runs over it, I can run over them back and forth and nothing happens, but when the other guy runs over, it detonates him

#

For player placed mines, they work as it should

little galleon Jul 3, 2020, 2:32 PM

#

even the base ACE Medical system seems daunting

#

like, I'm still pretty new but ACE Seems to take an already complicated game and make it even more of a learning hell

mental juniper Jul 3, 2020, 2:34 PM

#

Once you get used to it it isnt actually that hard for standard infantry men

#

if you're the medic it gets harder of course

peak cradle Jul 3, 2020, 2:35 PM

#

ACE is certainly not for new players, because as you said it will add a lot of new stuff to the game.
But the moment you're comfortable with the base game and want a more challenging game than ACE is perfect.

urban sluice Jul 3, 2020, 2:35 PM

#

i used to think arma 3 was about cooperating CAS, HAV, and infantry to complete an objective, now i realise its about cheesing the ai

peak cradle Jul 3, 2020, 2:36 PM

#

if you play the right mission with the right people, it will require teamwork / CAS to succeed (or retreat)

little galleon Jul 3, 2020, 2:38 PM

#

right, you know that hud element that shows the entirebody that like tells you what bits are damaged? is that bundled with ACE and how do I see it cause I can't find it

peak cradle Jul 3, 2020, 2:38 PM

#

by default it's the H key

#

but it's possible that they menu is hidden by settings (local, mission or server)

mental juniper Jul 3, 2020, 2:39 PM

#

^ There should also be a button in the interaction menu to open it

#

Its called the medical menu

little galleon Jul 3, 2020, 2:40 PM

#

right, I will have a look, I'm going to try and set my server up firstly with a basic version (Disable unneccesary bits like advanced med)and then enable stuff as we feel comfortable

mental juniper Jul 3, 2020, 2:40 PM

#

Yeah thats a good route

little galleon Jul 3, 2020, 2:43 PM

#

yeah I mean I say we are new, we got it last week and so far have about 30hrs each, but we have a pretty good understanding of most of the mechanics, we just want a good antistasi experience, so We found SovietWomble's modlist which uses ACE and RHS mainly

can someone tell me how do i load up workshop maps in arma?....they arent visible in the launcher

they won't be, they don't show up as mods in the launcher. launch the game and then go to the editor or something

I've only been playing ArmA for around 3 days, and I already have 24 hours on it.

mortar, on the other hand…

radiant moss Jul 3, 2020, 3:39 PM

#

scouting with a UAV and guiding friendlies around threats, supporting attacking forces by blocking enemy reinforcement convoys, running logistics and support in vehicles

#

that's true also, with the BI mortar computer it's fun, i'm sure it could be fun to do it with ACE also but i don't have the maths brain to really enjoy that. just getting a fire mission from someone hot and bothered over the radio and then hearing good hits or whatever a minute later is incredibly satisfying

there were two games by the same editor (10-20 years ago) where one was a warship simulation, and the other one was a submarine one. The good idea about it was that the multiplayer was interconnected, and ships could face player-controlled submarines

Now of course with Arma, it's a whole different story - unless the "simulation" part is pushed to its limit making every infantry/armored/aircraft/warship aspect a game in itself, it is not justified to split in "Arma - infantry/Arma - armored" etc

With Arma 3 you buy the game and get a way to do all the base combined arms functions (infantry, tanks/armored vehicles and aircraft), if arma 4 started splitting that up into modules (so lets say base game is infantry and tanks/armored vehicles and aircraft are modules) that'd mean that for new players that only just bought the game they'd be limited to just infantry which would thus destroy the combined arms aspect @runic jay

if arma 4 split stuff up into modules I'd props just stay with arma 3 blobshrug

From the document.... As we're quickly approaching the release of ARMA 2 , the third installment in Bohemia Interactive's award winning series of military PC simulations, it's a good time to clarify some things about the name and also explain why using Armed Assault 2 is wrong or why Arma is not a cheesy weird name as some English-centric souls may believe!

quiet pine Jul 3, 2020, 8:01 PM

#

(Killing them softly with ~~my song~~ my edits)

humble bane Jul 3, 2020, 8:01 PM

#

It is interesting that Arma is written in many forms. Arma 2 looks quite nice and creates a stronger link to Armed Assault for those willing to see at least some English origins in every name. ARMA 2 or ARMA II is not bad either, esp. considering the logo we chose. I myself prefer Arma 2 the most as it is following common standards for writing names but I still like the other two variants.

So I'm right and everyone else is not wrong 🙂

Read this "ARMA, The Name Tale" @runic jay https://www.bohemia.net/blog/arma-2-the-name-tale

#

Basically the Bohemia developers were starved until Game 2 was completed... Thus they chose ARMA: ...I remember that in the Czech Army, soldiers used the word "arma" for a small food shop usually available near their barracks.

#

Anyone know who wrote that dev blog though? There is no attribution - just interested...

@blissful rapids
Watch videos of ex SF guys telling stories about missions they did, I often get great inspiration from them, that and reading/watching stiff about big battles/operations from the past and changing them up for modern day

Hello All, I am new to the community, and was curious if any of you had tips on where to get started with modding arma 3?

placid spoke Jul 4, 2020, 6:38 AM

#

What would you like to mod/add/tweak?

#

Anyways, install Arma 3 Tools is the first step

fierce radish Jul 4, 2020, 8:02 AM

dont u love it when the size of mods u got for the game is 2x the game size it self?

518GB in my workshop folder

fierce radish Jul 4, 2020, 8:41 AM

#

im still downloading the mods n shet but how many palyers do u recommend for an exile server to be good?

finite relic Jul 4, 2020, 8:43 AM

#

I think you're missing the point. How good a server is , is a personal subjective opinion/experience.

fierce radish Jul 4, 2020, 8:46 AM

#

the point of exile isnt just looting tho so u dont want neither a very full server nor an empty server

#

ok so luckily it didnt tell me BE inilaization failed

finite relic Jul 4, 2020, 8:53 AM

#

The point of the game is to have fun. This isn't an exile specific Discord.

#

If you want Exile specific answers, try their Discord.

fierce radish Jul 4, 2020, 8:54 AM

#

but im stuck at the map screen xD [ also yes i understand that it isnt exile specific nor is the game focused on it im just asking in general]

finite relic Jul 4, 2020, 8:54 AM

#

The point of the game is to have fun.

fierce radish Jul 4, 2020, 8:54 AM

#

thats the point of all games no?

finite relic Jul 4, 2020, 8:54 AM

#

No, not really

#

Some games are meant to be challenges.

fierce radish Jul 4, 2020, 8:55 AM

#

some ppl only have fun while being challenged so yes

finite relic Jul 4, 2020, 8:55 AM

and not all games are fun

fierce radish Jul 4, 2020, 8:56 AM

true but ive never seen a game that hasnt brought a smile to some1s face [ as in players]

ARMA has lots of fun to offer for many years in small packages

placid spoke Jul 4, 2020, 10:20 AM

#

Small? How dare you! :D

runic jay Jul 4, 2020, 10:21 AM

#

One shouldn't bite more than one can chew. Though it's easier to avoid with ARMA than say DCS I think

placid spoke Jul 4, 2020, 10:22 AM

#

Anyways that's true. It offers bigger than it seems

runic jay Jul 4, 2020, 10:22 AM

#

Basically you can muck around and poke stuff even if you don't really know what you're doing, just rinse and repeat a few times. The main exception is when you don't even know the uniforms and stuff and start headshotting friendlies in multiplayer. A very quick way to become unpopular 😉

#

The deeper you dig the more convinced you become there's even more good stuff if you keep digging

mental juniper Jul 4, 2020, 10:24 AM

#

Yeah pretty much

#

Mission making is one of those holes

runic jay Jul 4, 2020, 10:27 AM

#

it's more like a quarry of its own

#

with dozens or hundreds of smaller holes, one for each digger 😏

mental juniper Jul 4, 2020, 10:28 AM

#

Heh true

runic jay Jul 4, 2020, 10:37 AM

#

In the end, what is the endgame for a player/group is typically a unique mix of common/shared elements and sometimes a few custom touches on top, eg. groups can have their private missions

Then you probably need to learn Editor. It's not even hard

Any tutorials out there?

Eden Editor has its own tutorials, probably better to head to there

Is that apart of the arma3 tools?

No. In Main Menu of Arma 3, there's it... in obvious place

You can code almost everything

lofty canyon Jul 4, 2020, 3:15 PM

What language is it in?

Status Quo Function, SQF in short. Weird Arma scripting language

lofty canyon Jul 4, 2020, 3:17 PM

Ahh gotcha, cool

#

But you can code and script everything in the game through the in game editor? I don't need arma3 tools?
