Varis, careful with those emojiis, or else you will end up sick like john

runic jay
#

Then again I say "noob" without meaning it in a bad way

quiet pine
#

newbie != noob

urban sluice
#

Hello Lou

quiet pine
runic jay
#

I don't make that into a big distinction

flat yew
#

FNG's works haha

quiet pine

#

Ah, I finally know that calling myself a noob at being a ground troop is correct

flat yew
#

That comic was funny. Thank you

quiet pine
#

slow learner != not wanting to learn 😁

urban sluice
#

schools disagree

runic jay
#

I'm just thorough ☝️

#

You say it doesn't work but maybe it's better to try at least 20 times so we know for sure

flat yew
#

You can also be a noob and a newbie at the same time

Are the forums down for everyone?

quiet pine
#

the wiki is, at least

#

I knew I should not have pulled that plug

urban sluice
#

Lou, what did you do

thick glade
#

All I wanna do is copy peoples scripts

lone cave
#

you have entered the gulag fight to earn your freedom

quiet pine
#

the COMREF still exists guys

thick glade
#

hmmm should be good enough for now

#

do mods disable achievments?

is the wiki down?

its back up touchdown

urban sluice
#

does the weather change over time by default or do i need to script that ?

lone niche
#

You can set up what will happen to the weather in the editor.

urban sluice
#

yeah im aware πŸ™‚

lone niche
#

Eventually, it will fully automate if the mission runs long enough.

urban sluice
#

thanks thats what i wanted to know πŸ˜„

lone niche
#

Yeah, that's how you usually get unplayable weather πŸ˜„

urban sluice
#

does it only do overcast or also fog ? πŸ™‚

#

also what does unplayable mean ?

abstract tiger
#

yo

lone niche
#

Precisely fog. In my experience, if you let the thing do it's thing for too long you will inevitably end up with heavy fog that makes you be unable to see more than a few dozen meters at best. I did not experiment with it too much though, so I may actually have had bad luck.

#

I'll just setAccTime high as a kite and let it go for a few minutes...

urban sluice
#

i mean probably could just write something that sets the fog forecast to a low value every couple hours so it never stays foggy ^^ i dont mind fog as is makes stuff spooky

lone niche
#

Yeah. Could also get a script that basically loops weather forever.

urban sluice
#

rNumber = random 1;
rTime = random 84600;
rTime setOvercast rNumber;

#

i have this ^^ probably the worst solution and im yet to figure out how to do a if statement for my trigger but oh well

lone niche
#

You know what, it might be a case of bad luck, I just stood on a hill in Cam Lao Nam for three days straight and weather never went ridiculous.

#

...or maybe it used to, and it's been fixed.

#

Either way, I did not observe any stoopid weather in three days, so good on the game for that, since I only had 4 hours of editor preset simulation. And it rained, it was overcast, it was a little foggy at times, sun shined, etc. Went through weathers nicely and immersively.

thin sable
#

it depends a lot on the scenarios forecasted weather settings

urban sluice
#

@lone niche Thanks a lot *Digital Hug πŸ˜„ i cant really speed up much cuz my pc is aweful ^^ so yeah love to you

#

also thanks to the GOAT πŸ™‚ im gonna sleep thanks guys

lone niche
#

Ah, my pc isnt that good. Decade old parts running on spite, determination and a complete lack of F's to give.

hallow light
#

Before i get arma 3 ive been confused on a-10 gun runs, is the a-10 fully controller by AI or can I control and pilot the A-10?

lone niche
#

You can fly it yourself.

hallow light
#

Alright thanks

lone niche
#

In fact, some mods are specifically said to be intended for AI use only due to certain quality aspects, but you can still use those yourself if you dont care.

hallow light
#

So if im in a milsim operation lobby with my friends i cany fly the a-10

lone niche
#

Anything and everything can be player controlled an long as there is something to control.

hallow light
#

Ok thank you

lone niche
#

Yes. The vanilla is free, no dlc rrquired, and mods are always free of charge. If you find someone wanting money for mods, be really careful. Aaand ignore the fools going on about cDLC being paid mods.

urban sluice
#

cDLC are great :)

lone niche
#

Personally I really like SOG. GM does not interest me however, and CSLA seems in limbo to me, any hype that I had long gone.

spiral swan
#

where can i join people on sog games right now

opal nacelle
#

if a group is playing a 'one jet, no respawn' scenario then they may want only an experienced player (who already flew the jet in singleplayer or in a separate training mission) in that Pilot role slot... whereas a more arcade-y game mode like King of the Hill may have 'accrue experience points (kills, assists, playing the objective, and so on) to level up, level up to unlock the A-10, use money from said actions to rent or buy, if you buy then you may select it again later in the match' as its rule instead

quiet pine
#

@abstract tiger if you know the channel exists, use it πŸ˜‰ thanks

abstract tiger
#

very cool stuff

quiet pine

opal nacelle
# hallow light Alrigh thanks!

You can practice by either Main Menu > Singleplayer > Showcases > Fixed-Wings or by subscribing to LM CO 1-8 CAAS on the Steam Workshop and playing that... the former is a scripted (not quite on-rails) mission with tutorial pop-ups along the way

hallow light
opal nacelle
#

The latter is a more freeform mission uploaded by none other than Lou Montana, wherein you can pick different aircraft and set a variety of mission parameters via an terminal in the 3D game world

#

If you choose Showcase: Fixed-Wings, here's a spoiler-tagged hint: ||the laser spot is on one side of the target, if I recall correctly on the side facing the north, so you'll have to fly in from that direction in order for your jet's laser spot tracker to detect it||

hallow light
#

alr ty

opal nacelle
#

Also, just because ||the bombs are laser-guided doesn't mean that you can just throw them out at random||... specifically ||at three hundred (300) meters above terrain level the bombs will start seeking out laser spots or thrown IR Grenades within a 500 meter radius of the position the bomb cursor was on when the bombs were released||

I am designing a campaign for my spec ops unit. Three basic locations to start are Middle East, Latin America, and Eastern Europe. I need recommendations on maps for each region. For Latin America, I have G.O.S. Song Bin Tanh; Middle East: Anizay, Diyala, CLA CLAFGHAN, and Kalu Khan. I can use more map ideas. Please help.

Replying to #dev_rc_branch message...

I hope the last cDLCs shows BI just how much potential A3 still has... and they allow the current devs to do more...
@kind copper Based on that one photo of SDG members I think there's more of them than there are remaining Arma 3 devs...

#

Mind, by the 'higher up' I mean 'up to the project lead' level, as in 'definitely a game dev'...

kind copper
#

ohhh... game dev... well still could be just as disconnected as a CFO I guess...

#

Just take a look at the whole Blizzard (the gaming company) project lead staff.... scary just how disconnected they are....

opal nacelle
#

By project lead I mean 'the person in charge of the game', which for Arma 3 for a time until mid-2012 was Damu, then after that for years was DnA, then for a time was pettka...

kind copper
#

I can't tell you much about those guys because I am still pretty new to this community but the fans and the moders and even most of the devs that show their faces around here are pretty amazing, top notch really

opal nacelle
#

Although I should note that one other issue for Arma 3 is that the game has, for years if not its entire post-launch lifespan, been running up against 'new engine plz!'...

craggy crane
hallow light
final sigil
#

Can anyone here help me with a quick thing in the 3D editor?

craggy crane
kind copper
opal nacelle
#

On the one hand yes, on the other hand that means Arma 4...

craggy crane
kind copper
# craggy crane It’s not THAT poorly optimized

Not for a small scale 10 players operations, but A3 is certainly not optimised to make use of their huge maps on any combined operations style missions. So it currently feels like a ferrari (huge amazing maps) given a Volkswagen beetle engine (lack of proper multicore support, lack of GPU usage, over reliance on CPU for operations that could be better handled by the underused GPU etc)

craggy crane
#

Ever tried warlords?

opal nacelle
sly pine
#

ji

#

what units yall in

#

just wondering

kind copper
#

Some stuff in vanilla are so bad that the cDLCs need to bring their own systems to make them better, like the medical system in SOG etc

#

And there is also the plus that any investment done on arma 3 extends its life (keeping fans on the franchise long enough) , essentially giving the BI main team more time to really finish and polish Arma 4 so the DayZ release shenanigans are not repeated

opal nacelle
kind copper
opal nacelle
#

But then that's money that isn't (directly) going into Arma 4, I imagine the thinking went...

kind copper
#

Well, if you have your golden eggs chicken and your future chicken... you don't neglect the chicken that is currently giving you the golden eggs even if you are about to get a new chicken!

opal nacelle
#

Well, that and this wouldn't be the first time that someone in Arma 3 leadership made a decision to not invest in something for vanilla because they figured that modders would just do their own version anyway

kind copper
#

Just imagine, God willing now but the main A4 coder dies of covid... A3 is all they have left!

opal nacelle
#

hell that very topic this came up before the game even came out

kind copper
#

And reviews sell games!

opal nacelle
#

On the other hand, the only new reviews of Arma 3 nowadays seem to be from YouTube videos by people who already have modded the hell out of their games and talk up said mods as a selling point 🀷

kind copper
#

That is why game companies do a Game of the Year edition or Definitive editions etc, so they get new reviews based on the latest versions!

#

Take Creative Assembly, they released Rome 2 and was one of the worst releases ever. Years later they released ROME 2 EMPEROR EDITION (free for previous owners) with all the patches and some free DLCs and it got much better reviews and LOTS of sales!

#

BI should have done the same with Arma 2 just when it hit its END OF LIFE yet they missed their opportunity

#

An Arma 2 Definitive Edition, with all the DLCs and Patches included

opal nacelle
#

I understand that there was a so-called Complete Edition released

kind copper
#

Because I own all Arma 2 dlcs and Arma 2 and I still get them separated on steam rather than a single Complete Edition

opal nacelle
#

I do see that this bundle was released on February 20th, 2013... by which time Arma 2's reputation had already been thrown under the bus by Dean Hall to (successfully) push for getting the DayZ standalone greenlit, and Arma 3 was two to three weeks from hitting Early Access

#other_games_chat message

Imagine if CONTACT was a coop campaign... it would still be played and being bought today!
@kind copper Besides the 'aliens' stigma, I'm not sure just how MP-compatible any of that stuff was... see after all how when you click PLAY CONTACT there's no MP option at all in the main menu; just the campaign, Scenarios, and the Editor 😬

Hello, is it official arma 3 server?

runic jay
mystic narwhal
#

Oh

#

Why it's too dead?

runic jay
# mystic narwhal Why it's too dead?

Use your mark I eyeballs, soldier - for starters it's the middle of the working day in much of Europe. There's dozens of channels and the server is actually fairly active...

mystic narwhal
#

Off topics I guess

runic jay
#

Lots of players have the Contact update, I think the veterans in the community somehow underestimate it. Does it speak too much to people outside the ARMA core audience - I love the scifi theme, but I'm more MP oriented...

mystic narwhal
#

Are guys who have Bohemia.net role are the developers of Arma 3?

placid spoke
#

Yes. More like BI employees

#

Also, majority of this server/game lives NA/EU, which is in a midnight to early morning. This is pretty understandable reason there's less amount of chats here

Does the Nvida Shield Pro streaming console have the apocalypse mod available?

On regular PC, it's a mod that allows you to play survival and rescues and all that.

Not sure if the shield has that ability

Warlords is not RP of any sort

it's a regular / objective based pvp mode

lone niche

Yup. To find what you're looking for you probably want to find a good milsim community. Most have a minimum age of 16, in my experience.

hey guys so i was going to buy arma and it's asking me for my credit card pin. I don't think that's safe. And yes i am buying it through steam

lone niche
#

That does sound weird to me as well, but I remember there was a reason I just continued to pay with PaySafeCard.

eternal edge
dapper finch
#

i can't use another one, i only have that. Welp i guess i can't get arma then

lone niche
#

What country you from?

dapper finch
#

poland

eternal edge
#

if you want to pay with a credit card, it of course needs your pin, you cant just walk into a supermarket and pay without entering a pin

lone niche
dapper finch
#

thing is, i never had to enter my pin when i was buying different games

lone niche
#

Works like this: I walk into any place with a Sazka terminal, I hand over cold hard cash, I receive a code, I run home, put the code in Steam and get my stuff. And it seems they are available in Poland as well.

dapper finch
#

it's just arma.

barren jungle
#

Steam should just need Long card, Expiry and security on back?

dapper finch
#

well i dunno, but it asked me for a pin which i'm not going to give

#

Absolute worst case scenario, steam is compromised. Talking to steam will fix that. Using a different payment system when the pay section of your steam is going fucky wucky is like saying 'oh nice, its good I bought this surplus firefighter gear' and walking into your house while its burning

dapper finch
#

yeah no i didn't give my pin or anything.

#

i knew that's not safe so i just cancelled the order

quiet pine
#

Pin, or CVS?

dapper finch
#

pin

#

quite literally credit card pin

scenic basin
#

Used steam etc and bought games online for nearly 10 years. Never going to ask for your pin afaik

#

Unless it’s different in Poland and wherever else

dapper finch
#

Yeah this is the first time it asked me that. Every other game it didn't ask me. Just arma.

scenic basin
#

Very odd

quiet pine
dapper finch
#

yeah i don't know why it asked me for it.. But i'm kind of upset that i can't get Arma now

scenic basin
#

Then yes, you did the right thing not going forward with it

dapper finch
#

especially because there's a big sale and yeah i can't get it.

scenic basin
#

If I was you I’d just get a trusted friend to buy you it as a gift on steam and then you send him the money however you can

dapper finch
#

Yeah i dunno tbh. But it did say about some Secure 3d or whatever it said and i don't even know what it is, perhaps it's a setting that turned on for no reason

mental juniper
#

We or BI wont be able to help you, contact steam please @dapper finch

i will

Than it could also be a regional restriction, if they ask your pin they will ask everybody's pin.

dapper finch
#

arma isn't restricted in poland to my knowledge

urban sluice
#

Can't you just do a bank transfer via sepa ?

#

Therese just go in a store and grab a physical steam card as suggested

dapper finch
#

There's not a store nearby that sells steam cards

urban sluice

I mean my nearest gas station has them ^^ but yeah bank transfer should work

dapper finch
#

yeah i'll try doing something about it

dapper finch

Ok i got it! I actually just had to press something that i don't want to put in my pin and now i bought it

Don't forget that, the game won't provide you a warm welcome unlike the community; expect steel rain! πŸ˜„

but i heard that i will learn to love the game with time so i really don't mind.

It's a hard game so it's pretty understandable

Hell about sums it up. It's hell. But it's our hell, and we like it the way it is, damn it!

dapper finch

true

#

i feel very welcomed even though you guys are saying it's gonna be hell

lone niche
#

Because it's gonna be. The good kind of hell. The kind that leaves you wanting for more, because damn it, three hours is not enough!

dapper finch
#

how many hours on average does it take to get used to the game and stuff?

lone niche
#

Could take a few dozen. Could take a single dozen... It's... hard to say.

#

It also depends on the level of hardcore you will be doing. If you'll get into hardcore milsim with full-on hardcore ACE, it's going to be a while

dapper finch
#

what is "ACE"?

lone niche
#

Advanced Combat Environment. Basically... it makes the whole thing a little more reaslistic, and a lot more hardcore.

dapper finch
#

ah i see

lone niche
#

If you get in, you're not getting out. Getting in is the tricky part. You gotta find the right place to be.

#

You gotta find the right unit/group.

#

There's a dedicated channel here on Discord, and there is a dedicated forum section on the Steam forums.

#

The biggest categories that I know of in milsim are...
Second World War
Cold War (Vietnam included)
Modern Day
Sci-fi aka Starsim

#

Then you get the more casual units, and the more hardcore units... it's... you gotta see for yourself, really.

Hey, I'm a new to Arma 3? I just caught it on sale. Is there any good multiplayer servers that I can play on that doesn't require a bunch of DLCs that I have to buy in order to play?

Do you have anything in particular in mind @jaunty knot ?

If you weren't here for that convo, my understanding is that the idea of CDLC (at all) wasn't approved until someone within Bohemia Interactive had decided that there would be a definitive end-point for 'include this in the base game' features

any good mods for the new nam dlc that can be played on any server?

can that TFAR mod be used?

yes

at least not in most cases
I cant think of a mod right now that was included in base game arma (except maybe taken inspiration from)

TFAR does not break the dlc, thankfully

no worries... was just thinking of a way to enhance my experience without breaking too much of anything that may work on every server.

Its tough being a pilot... especially CAS bc @ times, you accidently kill a friendly then they grieve kill and talk smack to the pilot lol

My unit has a public SOG server that uses 6 mods: TFAR, CBA, DUI Squad Radar, Enhanced Movement, Zeus Enhanced, and LambsDanger.fsm

shrewd turtle
#

Hopefully they'll update the ACE mods for it then. I used a couple of the ACE mods before and they are very nice indeed.

jaunty whale
#

That combo has worked pretty well for us, they're all pretty standard mods.

Someone will for sure release an ACE compat soon. Not having ACE after years of using ACE does hurt, I kept hitting Windows key waiting for something to happen πŸ˜†

I am actually looking for an active SOG server that is somewhat organized better than most others found on the server browser. Getting tired of kids being A-Holes and sometimes I run out of server options lol

@noble iris ACE medical conflicts tho, yeah?

Not If you're not placing DLC medical module

No, it works if you will NOT place it.

@shrewd turtle I can send you info for my groups server in DM. Zeus missions 1-2x a week, rest of the time it's running MikeForce.

The Steam Workshop page for the mission specifically tells people to turn off ACE medical at least if nothing else

it depends on your location
usually arma as an age restriction of at least 16y

Always gonna be folks gonna bother you 'cos they need to make themselves feel better. Game's had the age restriction of 16+ for ages now. Except never had anything on the box over here in my country, so... They bothered me, too, way back when, and they ain't nice folks for that. Precisely 'cos I ain't had no limitations given here.

Aye. Most units have an age limit of 16+, and often higher age restrictions for leadership positions.

So... what is the point with the command radio channel in vanilla? I get direct is for standard proximity chat, squad is for talking with your squad, side is for talking with your entire team, global is to talk to everyone, Zeus / (faction name) / Side or whatever it was called lets you as Zeus talk to players who are dead... for some reason. But why do we have a command channel?

It seems everyone can use it, atleast in pub zeus, it just shows you up in a bright yellow, and it doesn't seem to do much. So what is the point of the command channel?

Arma (3) has a very big learning curve, don't run in and think to survive, think about how to survive and use the terrain to your advantage is the biggest thing a lot of people still underestimate.

quiet pine

To answer Lou, if that is so why can everyone use it? And why can everyone seem to hear it?

To answer Fried, you uninstalled because you kept dying, which in my opinion is just sad to hear... or read in this case, since it is a game that like Bloodborne or Dark souls, takes a long time to not die in

Dark Souls of first person shooters sounds about right... That said, I need to practice with the Sten so I don't die so bloody often.

The trick for assaulters then becomes "When do I raise the blackflag so that the enemy has an unstoppable force of nature to deal with?"

# urban sluice I wasn't thinking realism, I was thinking combined arms. Like BF4.

Battlefield 4 release date 2013...........πŸ˜‰ still combined arms? Yes air/sea/land but the only good matches were 90% clan vs clan, if you jumped in a public server...... if you would let BF players now train on all assets/weapons in Arma 3 (basic bootcamp) and let them join a big mission....... well they would all end up bottom of the list and would not even know what hit them (even against AI). They completely need to change their way of playing and not run in like they did in BF matches.

urban sluice
#

true

steel kite
#

1 of the biggest trades you need have for Arma: patience! To learn, adapt, survive and win. I literally was a sniper in my community where i sometimes never fired a single shot during a mission but gave all the intel on enemy positions and movement making myself a very high value for succes of the mission(s).

urban sluice
#

Which is something you will not see in public servers

jaunty whale
#

I'm glad you don't apply that to your day job @steel kite

steel kite
#

Depending on what server and what time, if you join a public coop server in NA times while the that community playes at GMT times you don't see a lot of team work as many people from that community are not online, once you join them and a few community members are playing and guiding the squad the gameplay changes 100%. For example Ahoy world invade and Annex server has dedicated community members guiding new players almost around the clock and are a great server to start your first coop missions.

Ah, then why didn't you just walk or fly yourself?

#

Ask for a non-gamepass heli

#

and If you don't want to walk 10km... ohhh boy... you poor poor soul

#

10km is a nice jog

steel kite
#

Some helicopters are DLC owners only, the basic helicopters should be open to public, unless the server is set for example by community tags (whitelisted) or to certain roles (pilots only).

urban sluice
#

oIt will only take up to an hour to walk 10km. When you try larger maps (like ones that can cause a memory leak if you move around too quickly in Zeus) and end up walking 100km, you will realize 10km is simple

steel kite
#

And to sit in the back should not give a problem in any helicopter (even DLC) once you want to fly them as a pilot you get that DLC pop-up.

urban sluice
#

Although I am unsure if the game can support a 100km map

#

I disagree

#

Then bring a camptent, ENVG-IIs, tripwire mines, and a long range marksman rifle with a scope

You will see when death is coming, and if it is completely unavoidable, camptent respawn

since no one in the server i'm in will tell me i might as well ask here. how do yo actually spot enemies so that it shows up in the radio? I was told shift+T but that just pings them on the hud and doesn't send any bearing/distance info to my group

urban sluice
#

Technically this is a server your in

steep meteor
#

It is T without the shift

#

and it depends on the server difficulty on whether or not it will show up on the map

shell plaza
#

I tried that, it doesn't do anything

#

it only pings when i hold shift and press T, but it doesn't send anything in the chat

steep meteor
#

You can tell them to target by pressing 2 and selecting the spotted target

#

After selecting your groupmate

urban sluice
#

or tell your entire team to shoot them with the target command after pressing the ~ key

shell plaza
#

do you mean my AI team?
i'm in an invade and annex server

steep meteor
#

It will work with players too if you are the leader of the group

shell plaza
#

i'm not, just trying to spot enemies for my team

urban sluice
#

afaik only AI can give the exact bearing, distance, direction, and so on for a target they see, don't think there is a key for pointing it out, may be wrong

steep meteor
#

Pressing T will have your character say it if you are in a group.
IF you are in a group.

urban sluice
#

or by pressing T, as this elephant seems to believe

shell plaza
#

my teammates are players and they spot enemies now and then

urban sluice
#

no, thats the auto response

steep meteor
#

You only have to press T if the difficulty settings has auto call out off

shell plaza
#

it says something along the lines of "infantry, 100m bearing 250"

urban sluice
#

Yeah, that is autoresponse, AI do it, and sometimes the game does it for players

steep meteor
#

Yup, that is what will happen automatically or if you press T on an unspotted enemy. An unspotted enemy.

shell plaza
#

odd, hasn't done it for me

urban sluice
#

its like how if you walk away from your group your team lead may tell you to regroup without actually pressing the regroup command

#

If I say it that was it sounds like he just told you normally to regroup :/

but calling out an enemy is

So, I know bullets can pass through bodies (especially large caliber) but is it possible that high velocity bullets can pass through armored opponents at close-ish ranges and do very little damage?

#

I assumed as much I'd just never noticed it happening before. Although with (vanilla) Arma's lack of any real wounding system, I guess it makes sense- but realistically, 6.5 creedmor passing through your body would end your fighting capacity and result in massive trauma. It's not really consistently modeled in the game however, as unarmoured enemies die in 1 shot no matter the range. So clearly the body armour is doing something weird to the calculations.

steep meteor
#

Likely. Keep in mind this is futuristic tech so it is likely they thought the armor would be better than the current models we have.

@kind copper So if BI can really include mods as DLC as "official" why they do it with just a few assets?

#

(and @opal nacelle ) Could be some reasons which may not be obvious to the gamer. Like contractual overhead in the modder-become-developer contracts, or the said modder not having the marketable skills, or demanding too high compensation...

The Jets DLC may have been a low hanging fruit for some reason, or they decided the model doesn't really work in practice

If we look at GW's stance on licensing (since they do a lot of licensing) then it is pretty clear there is a lot that goes into it. First of all you have to inspect it for containing copyright neither party owns, then you have to make sure it works if you are going to charge money for it, and finally in the case of Arma they are in charge of distributing. It is a fairly messy affair especially for companies that aren't used to doing it.

BI seems to have had a really good start with their CDLCs though

We're yet to see the RAZBAM and Harrier here 😏

And with SOG things look really bright. The franchise looks like it's going well but maybe it's just my rose tinted fanboi glasses? πŸ€”

The convo in #other_games_chat was about someone wanting an 'Arma 3 Legendary Edition' that would essentially be 'Arma 3 bundled with CUP (both asset packs and terrains) and remakes of all official Arma series campaigns', in the style of Mass Effect Legendary Edition

#

and being very vocally unhappy about the direction Bohemia Interactive went with Arma 3 after Tanks DLC (namely dropping active support/gameplay feature updates)

how do i equip a scope?

like the ACO

runic jay

drag it to the scope position in the inventory?

urban sluice
# queen nest how do i equip a scope?

in your inventory ("I") the right side is reserved for your weapon slots
your weapons themselves have five or six slots for attachments
you can just drag and drop each one into whatever is highlighted white
if it is all red, that means that particular attachment cannot be attached to the weapon

Off topic, but why do you need to port-forward to host a game? Why can’t it be like other games?

urban sluice
#

I would think because unlike other games, your PC is the host, therefore they need to connect to you, not to the lobby you made that is ran by servers for the game itself?

neat raft
#

The same applies to GMod though right

urban sluice
#

I haven't tried to host a multiplayer game on Gmod, so I don't know.

quiet pine
#

Arma allows for UPnP (auto router config)

#

But only when hosting from the game, not the server exe afaik

neat raft

Yeah, I’m just trying to play with 1-2 people and they can’t join and the only solution I’ve found online is to port forward

I've seen people speedrun it in three hours. At that point I just wasn't having fun any longer.

Those people sucked it all out. And then they claimed there is no progress in Vindicta. They would have flipped if they saw the idea I developed, half-influenced by DnD.

But you know how it is... Much easier to make a theory to something than actually code it. So... yes.

The only issue is that there's no incentive to push to the enemy. AI who run away, camp, or lie down on the ground will survive more and thus make the algorithm work that way.

you can always reward them for pushing, and punish them for not doing so

Honestly there is little need for holstering as switching to a pistol has a similar effect. It would be a small easily implemented feature compared to shooting out of vehicles though.

Dear mercenaries! Argo has been a great opportunity for us to investigate different avenues of game development, and we’re happy to say its presence has helped numerous Bohemians hone their skills. However, with a lot of exciting projects entering key stages within their development we are, unfortunately, ending the support of Argo on official s...

I looked up argo, found a movie. Looked up Argo game, now know what link to send people if they ask for a free copy of Arma 3

honest robin

i mean there are some assets like armed hunters/mraps (from arma in the game-project argo), one of my friends sent be the script that makes it drivable but its a pain in the ass, just the script for the moving armed hunter is like 500lines long

#

tbh, i think this game was huge, alot of people like me who cant afford arma tried playing this game

#

alot of people still do, like i have 600 hours recorded on steam but it is true that a big part of community moved to arma :/.
