he wants to "sell" a course where you steal peoples credit cards to use them to buy shit
oh wow, Ya thats not a link you want to click on scam or not

hey does anyone know the name of arma 3 launcher in task manager steam says its running when its not
arma3launcher.exe? see A3's root dir
i dont see it
Probably just steam bug
can you DM-send a screen of your directory plz?
Make sure to sort on filetype!
hm-hm.
I had this too. Best I could do was to choose in the launcher options to auto-close the launcher after game start.
Helo 

csat,nato=kid AFF=CHAD LIVONIA=REAL MEN
I'm late to this party, but ArmA definitely has wider amount of things you can do. You can still play missions like Squad, but you can also play a LOT of different things.
you definitely are late, mentioning ArmA 🤭
You know me!
Hello I'm new here. So I'm looking at the arma 3 store page and I see that there is a ton of dlc. My question is: Should I buy them all? And if not then which ones?
you must buy them all for us to have more monies
but in order to play, nothing is mandatory
see the following to know more about editions
See https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Getting_Started#Editions for a detailed view of the available editions.
lol ok
PS: hi new, I'm dad!
*Only base game is mandatory
blahblahblah! 😆
Ok thanks for replying
Lou at 1:52:45 in the 20th anniversary live stream clear proof that its called ArmA 3 😃 
Waat? It says "Arma" everywhere in the text?
but not on that one frame of the credits
got to keep the big A dream alive
you do know that I can permban you riiight? 😄
ArmA 3 - Scifi Sahrani
ah nvm looked at wrong thing 
yeah, presse play/pause ^^
I noticed, and wanted to smash someone with my keyboard so hard I facepalmed it 😆
Whoever wrote that credits screen apparently didn't get the memo 😄
Just heard that a new job opening suddenly came available for script writer at BI 🤣
I finally managed to finish my antistasi mission file
Normally everything gets checked......checked again and double checked again by several people......... so actually several people missed that error 😉
_this regexReplace ["ArmA","Arma"];```
script writer! 😄
Didn't the change come with 2?
Yes
So the first is still ArmA 😄
or maybe big Arma made the "mistake" on purpose to keep the ArmA conspiracy theory alive 
why did it change anyways?
It was abbreviated Armed Assault - which is not a thing anymore, it is now Arma - the Latin word “weapon”
!namedebate
The correct name is Arma 3. See: https://www.bohemia.net/blog/arma-2-the-name-tale
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!
Realized that my answer doesn't answers
There was one "Arma: Armed Assault"
People just decided that Arma is a abbreviation for Armed Assault and should thus be written ArmA, while its not
Because the logo indicated it, even though it's all caps
But the discussion is somewhat ... if ppl want to call it "ArmA" - so what? I always believed there were legal reasons, but what do I know ...
People just decided that Arma is a abbreviation for Armed Assault and should thus be written ArmA, while its not
it was abbreviation at first
it's during ArmA's lifetime (and before Arma 2) that it has been decided to go with Arma
oh, at the beginning of ArmA's life even
The post said even before AA release they already didn't want it to be abbrevation
Popular belief is that ArmA is simply an acronym of Armed Assault. It's in fact true as that is how the name really started with the release of Arma : Armed Assault in Europe.
I read it as "we wrote ArmA to shorten Armed Assault" then
In fact, even before the European release of Armed Assault I heavily promoted Arma as a single word name to all partners but it was too much (…)
Also note that in the early 2000s the discussion about banning shooters was at least in europe at it's height. So it might be, that the "assault" part in the name could be thought of becoming problematic
Those enfoooshan pics look gud
True
The water looks amazing but it seems trees have reached their peak in arma 3 
but that metal power pole though 🤯 the 0.01 seconds before my heli explodes I'm going to be like " wow that power pole in front of my heli looks really nice!" boom
I havn't played arma for a long time, and today I returned and played some KOTH. But for some damn reason I had problems right-click to scope/sight up, like it would zoom in a bit, like if you click and hold right click to zoom in, but not tossing scope/sight up. Anyone else have that or know a fix?
As it zooms in a bit, I am sure it register my right-click...
anyone want to play so coop
clear 2
clear 1
all clear

yes, I'm super energyless tonight 🤣
well, in this case...
M'onster
tips energy drink can
you get an energy drink with milk, a ban, life in prison and your parents will disinherit you
im a mad scientist myself
Hello can someone help me out please
depends on your problem
not if you dont tell us the issue ( in #arma3_questions / #arma3_troubleshooting )
Well how can i add some animations and stuffs to pub zeus?
you cant
...! Uh
I've seen a guy in yt who made his own missions using different animations and stuffs how's that
non public zeus
you can do whatever you want on your own server and with mods
but public zeus usually is restricted. especially on official servers
^
when will vehicle garage, custom compositions, units for your loadouts to make quick custom armies, and more fire support options be added to zeus
When you make your own mission.
Welcome!
Feel free to add any suggestions you have to the relevant post on the feedback tracker
Any sugg to what servers i should join to play anything
Official warlords
How does one unload ace vehicle cargo using zeus? I know how to load it, but I can't seem to unload it.
Arma 2 or operation arrowhead?
Arma 2 or operation arrowhead.
I mean
Operation arrowhead is better than Arma 2 base game?
Or doesn't change anything
It does change something. IDK if it is better but why not just both?
Because
Arma 2 online is dead
So?
I don't know why i ask it
Arma 2 support has long been abandoned, whereas A2OA saw the introduction of new features (thermals, backpacks etc) and received more updates after that
if some players remain, they are most likely in A2OA or A2+A2OA (they are combinable)
No reason to play vanilla A2 unless you feel like doing so for nostalgia reasons or something. Get the Complete Collection which has all the DLCs + OA combined with vanilla, or just buy OA on its own if you don't want to get the other DLCs (OA doesn't need vanilla A2 to run).
Anyone know what gun he is holding
https://gyazo.com/90a35e3a1917ec653a05845b6fdf7014
Is it an M4?
looks like something from the M4 family
ask in #military_materials perhaps
hello
Arma 24
/7
/6 isn't it?
not if you want it running all day all week
Aha
/8 if you want to get "3"
Does anyone know what commands were used to remove the base of the weapons in this composition?
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2503445603&searchtext=
Like in image 6 or image 13. Those cannons usually have supports to hold them into the ground, and I dont know how the author managed to remove them for vehicle mounts. It's something I myself have been trying to figure out for a while.
@fast sonnet perhaps knows 😄
@placid spoke Thank you big bro
Try not to be hacked this time
people keep asking about ARMA 4, but what about ARMA 5?

Is someone around who can very quickly see if they can see my host? None of the people I play with are online
whats the server name?
god, every time i'm commanding ai, there's always one or two guys who will not listen to anything i say while everyone else listens to orders
sounds realistic
I’ll send in DM if that’s okay with you?
just average grunt
soz my dms are disabled
if your server is open, then it shows up in the server list with its name
if it does not, direct connect is likely not gonna work either
Ahhhh I understand
Name is Survival for 19th SFG
Pass is 19SFG
You won’t have the modset to connect, which is fine, I just need to see if it’s there
ever wanted to feel like a kindergarten teacher? play arma 3
So there must be something wrong with my hosting…
have you opened the Arma 3 required ports in your router?
Yes
why do players get kicked out of my server as soon as they join then get put on an infinite loading screen?
maybe broken mods?
Same mods as the dedicated server is running
not for your problem
Gotcha
Anyone know a cool active public milsim server, a lot like karmakut liberation?
SOGPF MikeForce #06 is preddy gud I hear
Hi. What room do I go to to report team killers?
@fair mesa is it on official servers?
Not sure. KOTH by Sa-Matra.
not official one then I believe. you would need to contact the server hoster
OK. Thank you!
@thin sable I tried doing it without mods and ares mod is still not working
Dang how lowng dwarden been „ill” for?
Yep
since he has joined BI
I've been playing A3 for two years and now I have pneumonia, don't recommend neither
Why not Arma 2042?
Apparently I was warned for using "content ripped from Call Of Duty" from a picture I posted in #screenshots_arma but I'm not even sure what mod it was, if the staff member who warned me knows could you help me by pointing it out? Since I don't believe I did use any COD items in it.
Kontakt6 you could just ask me in the comments or the release thread or on my composition page, i always answer questions on my work or on my pages and videos, i rarely come to discord but once a week.
TFL, Very well known for ripping content of COD, Battlefield and other Arma mods
Ah I see, the reason I don't type on steam is because usually most creators don't always answer so it's just faster to ask here
Ah! Thanks
Ya im the opposite , i always will answer, maybe not right away but when i get on and i usually check daily, im always on BI forums, just not here but once a week. Anyways off to bed for me. Cheers!
Thansk G man for stopping by! Sorry for the summons. 😅

i just found a composition with AAF orcas please shoot me in the head https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2508491384
Agreed.
i dont get it
Services like WTFast (https://www.wtfast.com/) can help my Arma 3 server to have a better connection?
what does it do?
@thin sable it lower ping, search for better routes and stability when you is playing compatible games. But i'm not sure if it's client side only.
Did star wars mods be allowed on the workshop since there are a shit tone of them now
I tried downloading some mods and now even with all of them disabled I can't join any servers
Keep getting kicked for imperfect connection before its even initialized
Severely fucking annoying
Why do people buy dayz, a $80 dead survival game, when there is arma 3 which goes at $12 during sales and is a sandbox where you can nearly recreate dayz 1:1
logic?
It is mostly because DayZ runs better than Arma 3 since it uses a newer engine
but its so much more expensive and ineconomical compared to what arma 3 offers for much lesser
I get like 70 FPS on Arma 3 while I get 120 on DayZ basically same settings
hm
I got DayZ for 25 USD on sale
but then would people really spend that much just for fps?
It is nearly incomparable
But yes, I still like Arma 3 more.... but also yes, FPS is very important for those 144hz monitors
true, but considering its a milsim, i would say 144hz is unneccessary
On the contrary, those few miliseconds of advantage you get over other players is very noticeable. Unless you play COOP vs Ai...
all those packet loss and ping makes 144hz useless
I play on LAN, no pocket loss and ping is like 20
in csgo its understandable and their servers are optimized for connection but on arma/dayz people are from all over the world
On the first place why would you compare the games which from BI but completely different game
i was just saying the server and networking, not the gameplay
Remember, DayZ is mostly about the PVP interaction.... so FPSs become far more important for many reasons
hm true
#general_chat_arma message
I thought you were
i still feel like for that much money, its not worth it at all, at least for me
i was saying that dayz is a subset of arma 3 in my perspective
Also it is $45
its in my currency not usd
I agree that it is expensive, but since that money is financing the development of Arma 4 then who cares if stupid rich people get that game
fair enough
What genre of music is Arma 3's OST?
Electro?
okay i,m gonna buy new arma 3 cuz i get banned in official servers for saying n word
yea cuz only in warlords you can destroy enemy base and others things
you can destroy enemy bases in warlords?
tell me more 
you can destroy bulding in airbase and aa
“Only” 
is it fun?
it's also kind of orchestral too, so
it's an OST, not a single track, so it is hard to define a single genre for such score
^ this. There's way more orchestral tracks than electronic in A3. Outside of the stuff that was released for the main campaign, most of the DLCs since then have been mainly orchestral like Tanks DLC's Fight for the City or the entirety of Laws of War, for instance.
It’s kind of a mix tbh, take This is War for example
Who said you can’t run an Arma 3 dedicated server on a Celeron 1000M

Because I totally have
And it’s… Performing better than my actual dedicated server that’s an entire 1.2ghz faster
No.
Just because many people steal cars also doesn't mean its allowed 😄
alright lol its just ive seen them up for weeks at a time and didnt know if they got changed there are actually a good amount of them up
Why would they be forbidden? Some are up since 2014/2015 ...
I think it is more: they are tolerated, without advertising on BI social media (including discord).......until Disney drops a letter at the BI legal department to get them pulled down from the game.
Wouldn't that letter need to go to Valve, who then would have to clean up virtually every workshop?
Well the "source" is BI/Arma 3.
free advertising on Disney side
No, the source is the modder and there is something like fan fiction
why does my gun move when i move my cursor, it's only my gun not my head or sum
arma
With BI giving them the tools and platform 🤷
So? They also use computers and keyboards
so what? Disney disallows usage of their content for non-permitted people, including having it as an inspiration for Arma 3 mod.
Who says so?
Disney?
if you have any questions regarding Disney's intellectual property and usage of it then you should contact them directly.
Maybe in different countries there are different laws, but as far as I know non-commercial use is permitted, which is the case in a mod. Also Disney is not in the position to define those laws
you are wrong. but since you have not believed the above explanation I doubt its of any use to continue. If you want to get clarification do ask Disney.
what you know is one thing. what is the IP "theft" execution of Disney is other one. Disney as the owner of this property/trademark is in position to define any type of usage they accept or not, and they decided to not support any act of non-permitted usage, copying or being an inspiration of the Star Wars IP.
just because some mods are available here for years it doesn't mean they are "legal" per se, its just the Disney's legal department not caring enough about Arma 3 mods, but if they want, they'll hit either the mod creator or Bohemia with a letter to cease any type of allowing/supporting SW mods, and that's all about that topic.
All lawsuites so far were concerned with the question, if modding itself is legal. That being game studios who didn't want mods of their games. I can't find a case, where a modder was sued for the content of the mod, much less the game studio for something a modder did. So if you know a case, I'd like to look
Iirc there was a case where a modding group was sued by an american weapons producer about using humvee models or something
I think i read it on the cup website about licenses etc?
That was CoD
It was Activision who was sued over a commercial (very successful) product and they "won".
Mods usually are just shut down by cmda or C&D. They don't really go to court
As those modders do know they are in fact infringing the IP rights and would lose. And don't have money to go to court.
I certainly believe that last part - but that doesn't make them illegal, just defenseless. Still looking for a case
And as this is starting to look like the endless discussion that has passed by in #ip_rights_violations several times now let's move the topic to that channel, or read back for those who have not followed those discussion(s) as all the same Q&A's that are now posted have passed by in that channel several times now 😉
Im looking for a group that isnt allergic to newbies any suggestions anyone ?
yeah Im still new to arma and i know that puts a lot of people off having to nursemaid
@unborn bison well if you scroll through the units you will find some of them open to new players to teach you.
thanks im new to discord too lol
In this video of Dayz, it seems to have a larger grass draw distance than Arma 3. Is this what Enfusion will bring to new games? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EP-54iTDZfw
nobody knows
mayhaps
Yesn't and Non't
It’s a definite maybe
i have watched loadfs of vids and see that everyone playa with other people, is it boring alone?
It’s one of those games that’s about 10x better with other players , but isn’t terrible solo
ok
I engjoy the solo game sometimes more than mp
I don't know how but Alpha Prime has gotten me here
I didn't even know there was an Arma discord server
is it normal for arma 3 to look bad? i dont know why but my arma 3 looks so bad, no matter the setting
eye hurting bad
I'm playing on low and it looks good i think maybe adjust the rendering and it might be better
can i get a screenshot of what you see?
would be very awesome, so i can compare from what i see
sadly I'm not on arma rn but if you send over what you see I can compare
ah alright, ill send via dms
cool
Warlords is so fun
Hey, anyone got a document or something going over deep ACE 3 medical mechanics like wake up checks etc?
ACE slack in #channel_invites_list and their documentation too might
Much appreciated thanks
hey i have new steam profile and i bought arma 3 new do need to uninstall from my old steam profile
okay i need only to behave
hey when gonna by the sales
potentially halloween
that kinda time period
steamdb has a pretty good idea of what kind of timeline youre looking at for sales https://steamdb.info/sales/history/
how do i screen record
with an external tool like e.g OBS or something
It's a software you need tk download
Question: If i want to set up a sort of a poll to ask the Arma discord members a question and get some feedback which channel would be most appropriate? And would i be allowed to "@" users? according to the rules i should be allowed to i just wanted to double check before doing so....
so i download obs and what do i press to record?
check their doc, it's not Arma-related
Sorry, if you want to set up a what?
oh a poll?
what about setting up a Polish?
Yes 😂
quick someone hide vet
Ah, uh I'll leave that up to lou
so it depends on the topic, and usually polls in Discord are made with
- question
- reactions to vote
e.g
what do you think?
🇦 Miller is lovely
🇧 Miller is great
i don't want to spam a channel im not supposed to by accident...
thats not a valid poll tho, both are objectively true 
Yeah that's what i have in mind i just don't want to get in trouble 😅
what'd be the topic of the poll?
poll about what then? ↑
I have an Arma unit I'm thinking about changing it up, I want to see if there is an interest in the community to play AAF in Mil-Sim
…do the change and see?
so i want to see if there are other people like me or if im just the odd one out
that takes time and effort i wanted to see if there was enough interest in the general community to even to get started
ask in e.g #arma3_questions, even though it's… IDK, a bit weird to ask, usually people do what works/what they like 🙂
yeah i get that the AAF is something im into simply becuase it's not the norm but i know a lot of people are not into it so i wanted to test the waters first and see
nothing prevents you to make a second, parallel unit ofc
This the ARMA 3 chat ?
Yes
Guess so
Oh cool now I can talk smack when i destroy y'all
So you will mostly remain silent?

Most likely 😂😂😂
Outstanding move Lou
@ivory flame no, no spam thank you (wrongly typed, also non-English 😬)
Dead silent!

both, depending on how lazy I am / if it is a carrier's landing (then manual all the way because autopilot makes me "hit the deck")
I dont use the lading autopilot anymore
too much ptsd of it crashing me into the side of a mountain or into the dirt just in front of the runway
Land myself, I remember the horrors of OFP's landing autopilot to well.
Well i guess its called CWA now.
you guys land?
we cannot all afford to be taken down by AA y'know 😛

hey do i get banned after i created a new steam profile BUT i dont uninstalled arma 3.CAN files get me ban @quiet pine
Ban where? In this discord? On some multiplayer server? On Steam?
arma 3 n word
i get banned for saying n word and i created new steam profile it was admin ban
Your steam profile only applies to having bought the game and playing it. So if you said a bad word on some (official) multiplayer server under that account then yes, you may be. If it is a new account then probably not until you do it again. If it was a non-official server then it is totaly up to that server's admin.
It does not get you banned here unless you wrote that here too.
you are banned from all official servers, it isn't a steam ban
Range finder, map, on some u don’t even need to range find
was thinking more of at what range to aim for
so if a tank or what ever is 236 m away do i aim for 250 or 200 or guesstimate?
Depends totally on the weapon and rocket/missile used
250 is closer
rpg7 currently
Vanilla or rhs
Guesstimate would the best answer. Or you can train different distances and learn them by heart
But remember that different rockets fly differently
yea nearly blew myself and my squad up with the PG-7VR last op
is there any sales on arma 3? when should i expect the next one?
it goes on sale often, 95% sure it will be on sale on the Halloween sale but could be on sale earlier
Maybe maybe not. If you feel good to get the game with -75% or -66% (depends on the edition/bundle) wait til it
yeah im trying to buy it for a friend
Well
Someone thought I was a female due to my username, apparently that means you get kicked from the server
Fools... All who use the internet. Know that there are no such things as women on the internet
^^^^^ AHAHHA
proceeds to ban all nicknames ending with y or a
wait a minute

How to use the PGO 7v scope: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=232486692. This will help.

Is it just me or has every mod and script maker put their releases on hold until after 2.06 is released?
You know what, even regex command are waiting along with 2.06. That's a massive script commands update
Any known release date?
What date?
The 2.06 update? Or am i being stupid again
it is being tested as we speak, ETA 4 weeks
Could be less, or far more...
Thanks
yo yo
I just got all the achievements with only 101 hours bruh
Now thats my only flex
Indeed
ayo my dad made 6000 in teh crypto market so hhes buying me arma this weekend
do you guys have any recomendations for missions to practice bombing, gbu's etc with aircraft
amazing
I made one practice mission that has 2 jets with gbu though you could probably just spawn in jets you want with zeus
it has some enemy ais but it's quite bad
Ignore this, this damn server is so big I can’t find the channel I’m looking for xDDDD #communities_arma3
Are there any 2040 scenario mods?
With battlefield on the way, I've been getting into the near future setting lately
Even 2035 lore is not really beloved by the community
2025 Altis civil war era sounds cool
Japanese invasion of Altis?
Kek. It's Malden, Argo
ARMA 4 CONFIRMED 2023
nah probably some dev's birthday
But 2023-ish something is cool to see I guess?
or is it the setting of Argo in 2023
Nothing tells AFAIK
good morning. last night i played a round with the camera. i noticed on the screenshot all the lines like the viewfinder etc, how do i get rid of this?
I assume you're using Artwork Supporter. Click Backspace
If you meant is Arma 3 a PC game, yes
Quite surprised that one can join into the server like half a year ago and only post three words “Is this pc?” and immediately left the server 
the only art i know is a picture of a main battle tank i have in my office at work. no i was actually just wondering about it
W-what?
nope not using artwork supporter. just the normal camera
Then IDK. What you say is actually too vague, without more info or just a pic can't say much
allrighty no worries. thank you
100 hours is... gotta crank that up, man.

They splendid cam keybinds are on your screen when you open it.
Quite surprising since his next few responses indicate he still has to get the game from his dad.
The March 8th in combination with the red rising sun does remind me of the surrendering of Java in WW2. Indonesia was still a Dutch colony at that time. It was surrendered on the 9th, maybe a BI developer had a relative lost on the 8th. Considering BI has an Amsterdam office. I know, it's a bit circumstantial. Especially as the year does not make sense at all.
looks like arma 3 is in the news again. "Indian new channel Republic has been showing footage from the video game Arma 3 claiming it to be proof Pakistan is aiding the Taliban in Afghanistan. "
Arma 3 == WW3?
ye 2 indian news channels have used arma 3 footage recently
this is why a next Arma iteration would be graphically achieved in cel-shading to prevent abuse by news outlets
remember when a2 was used in the news and you could even see the physx bugs with bumping vehicles
You should only use Arma 3 in the news for re-enactments of dangerous situations that it was too risky to get a camera crew into
And it should be stated as a re-enactment in Arma 3
I dont think Armas EULA allow such
Arma 3 Stuntman Edition should be released for such purposes
I'd love to see upcoming Sicario 3 with Arma 3 ragdolls 
Well it was not suppose to be a matter of hours i wanted to see if i could unlock all the achievements
And.. you can't because you need 200 hours 😄
since 2.00 😎
Can anyone find a time to play the game with me, I need to figure out how to play 😂
i have 10 hours, and im still relearning everything ._.
start with the tutorials and bootcamp
I bought it like a year ago for shits n giggles but not sure how to get into it
i bought it back in 19, and played it without knowing how to lower graphics, and im playing on a laptop, so it crashed my laptop, and i didnt play it until i found out graphics settings
then i uninstalled when it crashed AGAIN cause i forgot to close another game
and now im playing it alot again
also, i cant play the game with discord open

If you're new to playing Arma, its recommended to have a read of #info_help_tips and especially the getting started guide (https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Getting_Started).
Those resources will provide you with a good way to learn the basics of playing Arma 3 in both single- and multiplayer.
so called "Game Journalist" : Arma 3 is a hyper realistic first person shooter
Arma player: uh no its not
I could go with "one with the potentially most realistic representation of a battlefield" eventually
but the game is what people do with it
In comparison to other games it is hyper realistic
Is there someone who wants to play?

I just got spammed by a bot Justus123#9905, anyone else get that?
Theres some hundred bots attacking servers like this every day. you can report them at #discord_server
Thank you very much!
Found the original video: https://twitter.com/NoticiaeGuerra/status/1434688195174801408. I can tell it is fake by the slow firing rate of the guns.
Arma has the right fire rates
Miniguns are slow though.
I wonder if the guys reporting on it feel retarded knowing how much 💩 they spit on a daily basis
I know I couldnt handle making garbage up for a living for very long
Say what now?
In reference to our obviously professional reporters in india
Oh
where do i go for modding? I need a hand of stuff for what to download e.g
In general #arma3_questions is the place I guess. There's no "modding 101" but slightly advanced than that
thank you polpox! (love your mods btw)
Is the hia3 arma 3 FOV calculator down for anyone else?
My FOV got reset when changing window mode and I don't know what the fovs were at
Might have to rejoin
? It's located in your profile folder/file
I know that, I'm saying I changed my video settings from fullscreen to windowed fullscreen, when I did that it reset my FOV back to the default one. I don't know what I had the two fovs set to and that site is down for me
No luck unfortunately
Today I read sth. about COD: Vanguard game mode. And I remembered Arma 3 featuring a "Vanguard" MP game mode which still exists. Once again Arma did it first!
Cod does copy anything and everyone tbf
Is anything not a copy
At our point in history, it is rather easy to be inspired by something, or pay a homage to something, or just take a different take on the same thing. In order to create something 100% yours, you would have to be completely cut off from the world for years, and even then you run a chance of having the same idea someone else already had, independently on each other. That said... Are they doing a tank combat related gamemode? 😄
mine got reset too recently for some reason
i have a question, if an user join a public (official) server without having any name (blank) is there a rule for that?
…no specific rule for user names, but to be non-disrespectful
Does the Black Wasp (Jets DLC NATO fighter) not have a radar gunsight? I've been playing around with it, and with radar on, target locked and in range, and guns selected - no lead indicator that I can see. I'm pretty sure the Shikra (CSAT equivalent) does have one.
Does anyone know of some kind of firefighting mod/script? I've got SCMod but that only allows aerial firefighting unfortunately, no ground/hose/truck stuff
Hello
lol congrats with the publicity ArmA! 😄
Lou, why did they forget me 
Who are you again?
Sad times
- you haven't said anything for some months
- the proper greeting is "henlo"
Let me turn Dedmen mode.
Hewo
turning Dedmen on?? oh no

it's more or less a dead gamemode
Remember, no respawns
oh, that one
well unless you're the admin's son
Hi
or at least common folk dont get them 😉
Bless you! And get a covid test while you are at it.
hmmmmm 
Oh
Were you able to set it back to what you had it?
I was able to make the hia3 site work again using web archive, fov is good now
I just got arma any tips

hummm… we do not condone any extremism of any kind here 😬
so why are @feral reef and me still here?
oh right... we are a different kind of "extreme" 🤣
the "speshul" kind for one 😛
cal an ambulamb!
why tf are trees and other plants not in eden editor
i dont wanna use hedges as a substitute for bushes
by default they are missing because they are not really meant to be placed into missions
I’m 99% sure there’s a mod for that
there is yea
yeah but what if i want to make vanilla compositions
you cant? since there is no vanilla classes for trees
unless you can spawn them as simple objects and save those into composition
Spawn trees like this.
_pos26 = [14616.9,16779.4,40];
_tree26 = createSimpleObject ["a3\vegetation_f_exp\tree\t_ficus_big_f.p3d", _pos26];
_tree26 setPos _pos26;
This spawns a huge Tanoa Ficus tree.
no no I’m Islamic
Arma 3 doesn't care about religion, so you can be what you want or are. (If you know where Mekka is, there is a compass for you in it. 😉
OK
Islamic is different from Muslim ; so I kinda doubt that you know what you are talking about…
Followers of Islam are called Muslim,they are same.
I fixed my goggles, islamist* is different from Muslim. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
now say 20 times "muslim milsim" and you're good :-p
Muslim milsim Muslim milsim Muslim milsim Muslim milsim Muslim milsim Muslim milsim Muslim milsim Muslim milsim Muslim milsim Muslim milsim Muslim milsim Muslim milsim
Muslim milsim Muslim milsim Muslim milsim Muslim milsim Muslim milsim Muslim milsim
Did my first battle
I'm going to commit some Arma 3 funnys
Like cluster bombing a town full of rebels
Then blame it all on CSAT
Please add a description to this link (#rules), thanks 😉
the first thing i reminded from that is this
You are not delta cag
you want a dedicated server/vps or simple shard strictly for Arma 3?
if first, then Hetzner is okay and rather cheap, you just have to pay the one-time installation fee, if second then Host Havoc I guess, never used it though
Hmm ill take a look at it
Might seem like a troll but is there a section dedicated to Operation Flashpoint, also known as Arma Cold war assault?
Don't get me wrong, Arma 3 is a great game but i like Operation Flashpoint because i can run it well and the era of weaponry it has, Arma 3 a bit too Modern for my liking.
does anyone know how to put custom textures on vehicles in vanilla official servers saw someone using dark green zamaks and angaras
Danke
Once again, probs not correct but in editor if you right click a vehicle it brings you to a screen where you can add different equipment (if you do it to a person) or different camo or guns and change a few things like remove a bumper etc (to vehicles), probs did not help but if i did, yay
i know, but the zamak and angara dont have the dark green paint in vehicle garage
he said he used custom textures but idk how
Hmm
Maybe something in the files could be done?
15 second slowmode? why did i come here again
mods
Wat?
It takes 15 seconds to send a message
Yeah, thats what i ment
And the slowmode is always here for ages
?
Yes, the mods on it are great mate 🙂
Yup, I dont get the second part tho
wtf are you talking about 
Mods to add 80's units
If you see the reply it will make it a bit clear, and the reason why i said why did i come here again was because i joined this discord server to ask about something about Operation Flashpoint and Arma 3
oooh you said 'the mods on it' rather than 'the mods are on it', my mistake 
So you're the only English speaker on this convo
Where ya guys from
Yapan. Pi's German
Well anyways you're welcome to the server; feel free to ask questions in #end_of_life_arma if its about legacy Arma games
Thank you, i will, i cant play Arma 3 great because my laptop is not the best XD
But i am a weapon at Arma Cold war
😠
Hey guys
Im playing thru the marksman tutorial I guess or whatever you call it. I just got off the chopper and the game told me that I could've taken what I needed inside the chopper like restock on ammo or sum but It didn't tell me how so now I'm on this mission to kill 12 dudes as a sniper with no ammo
I got a small handgun with a silencer but the location like I said has 12 dudes with 1 machine Gunner there is no way I'm going to be able to pull that off with a simple hand gun
Check the inventory while in the chopper. Or when landed and it is still there, look at it, scroll wheel for inventory and then do the same.
I mean, that is how you can do it. I can't remember that specific marksman tutorial myself.
Well is there anything else I can do to get ammo? Cause I'm stranded on a cliff with nothing
Restart is the only logical option. Unless you can find a way to loot a rifle of a killed enemy. But I doubt that is the intended way to get it.
Yeah well thanks I guess I'll try to pull this off somehow I don't fancy sitting here for another 30 minutes getting back to the save point
What mission are you playing then?
Idfk I clicked on showcase and marksman
ok
I start with a marksman riffle in the game when I launch in the showcase mission. If you don't have it, you either are using mods that messed up the mission, or you lost it somewhere while swapping things in your inventory.
Na I have the rifle I just don't have the ammo for it
And other then the rifle I have a pistol but without ammo for the rifle it's really not that useful so I have to kind of use the pistol
you start with 4 clips in vest, and 1 in the riffle.
Yeah the 1 in the riffle is finished
then press r to reload.
Also who tf thought that having 4 clips for a pistol was a good idea
The other clips aren't for the rifle
I have 3 9mm I must've burned thru without realizing
I wasn't really thinking about ammo I was just shooting like I had infinite ammo (if you can't tell I'm pretty new to this game)
yeah, put the riffle on single bullet mode, or you go through the 10 bullets per magazine pretty quick.
Well thanks for the help
When does the sale end?
Steam should tell
Oh it doesn't, just limited. But I expect up to monday. Considering the Arma 3 birthday event is on sunday.
Nice hopefully that's the case
Would you recommend the bundle or base game with specific dlc?
I don't know your budget. And how serious you are about this kind of game. Generally speaking bundles are better discount than base plus individual dlc. Apex edition bundle is the most popular and biggest bang for buck. But you might like Contact in and of itself. Jungle versus woodland and hills. (and the scifi aspect)
But you certainly can have fun with the base game (and mods thereafter). At least until the next sale happens. Likely somewhere midway in October or next halloween period.
eeee i just got my first arma kill
anybody here got some experience with antistasi plus?
Not plus, but the community version it is based on.
best place to ask about that is props the antistasi discord linked in #channel_invites_list
alright
No, if it is Plus features specific questions then the Steam workshop page.
Community discord will not be able to answer what might be different due to code changes.
yeah
im having problems with the arms dealer cant find him anywhere and the respawn button for him doesnt work
When does the sale end?
Nobody knooows! Its a mysterryyyy
do you want it?
uhm i dont know, all i do know is that there is a sale
do you know what kind of game Arma 3 is?
releastic open world shooter game is what i get from it
YEAA, and its only 2 Euro for me
How much time are you willing to invest?
well if you can afford it, its pretty cheap
Also should i buy ultimate?
if you get 2000+ hours of enjoyment for 2€ its not bad
HHmmmm not really that much, i dont game that much but i like gaming with friends and also random people
it might change if you buy it
in general I say "no" to people who ask if they should buy anything
that usually brings out what they truly want
One thing with Arma is that it is more complex then any other game I’ve played and the learning curve is a big one
yes
a lot
Hmmm
thats gonna cost me like 10 EUro
more like 9
Im gonna buy the apex edition
@thin sable
A wise choice...
Any germans here who know a good german community Discord?
I just got spammed in DM by a certain GarethSpyder who seems to be a person on this server. I tried to reply, but apparently I couldn't since... he left this server?? (No more mutual servers) I'm just confused.
?
why?
I need it for Apex.
I give this person when he buy it for me a AWP Skin for 6$
lol
yeah, e-beggings not allowed here
na
Apex legends or Apex Arma?
Apex Arma
Damn its 7 Dollars? It only costs 2 Dollars For me
How?
I live in Turkey
Sorry if always asked, but I want to buy Arma-- should I buy Arma 3? Or the entire Arma 3 Ultimate Edition?
At least Apex edition if you can
What will the difference be if I buy only base game? Will i be unable to join certain servers?
(i have no idea about anything)
You won't be able to join servers running Tanoa, which is an Apex map
I bought Apex edition
you also won't be able to use the DLC vehicles
had the same question as u
This game is voice-chat heavy, right?
Eh, more or less. You can play without voice comms, but I'd say it's much better with it.
Doesn’t HAVE to be but it’s highly recommended
I've heard it's roleplay-ish, right? But there's a real objective?
Depends on what you're playing
It can be, doesn’t have to be
Think of it less as a game and more as a tool box.
Nah, it’s a game
Arma is anything you want it to be
Awesome. Thanks so much guys-- if I wanted to join a server/game where there was a clear objective but also had players roleplaying-ish (basically pretending to be soldiers) where would I look?
It's a military sandbox in the end
Probably Zeus would be your best bet
r/findaunit
If you want Milsim you should probabaly find unit
It is a wave of spam bots that actually got removed fast but also did send out some DM's before they got banned.
Thanks, @urban sluice didya play yet? how was your first game
I litterally bought it like 10 minutes ago so nah havent played yet
If either of u 2 find something about the game you don’t like
Odds are theres a mod that fixes it
wow only 40 GB?
only??? thats alot. i got the storage for it but i barely play games that size anymore
i mean... Call of Duty is over 200GB right now
true
I splurged on a huge SSD a while ago because i was tired of deleting games 😄 i guess i'm spoiled
nice
i found outr whats breaking my camera mode
how much GB
i think 3 or 4 TB?
owh dope
nah 2TB
Cool
Without mods and the Creator DLCs*
Sorry for all the questions, i'm installing it now. What server/mode was this dude playing?
https://youtu.be/zfYG61kFlVI?t=585
private server, most likely either Zeus or a mission he made beforehand in the editor
Ye, he mentions Digby as zeus in the description
I'd suggest you watch some videos and mess around in the editor first to get a hang of it. Makes things go way smoother than trying to learn on the fly.
Thinking about getting the base game, apex and laws of war.
The mods replace the rest
hello hello
buy the apex bundle

me, when i see Man, 100 meters, front
how do you get into an altis life server or any server for that matter?
open server browser, select server, click join
some community servers could require passwords or you to join the community to get whitelisted to join
also if server uses mods, you would need to have same mods loaded -> use the launchers server browser so it can show what mods are in use and tell you to set them up
oi mates i got a question
regarding the game , is it worth to buy the apex edition and is the game worth buying in general?
does the game interest you?
most people here own, play and enjoy Arma so you cant really get a properly unbiased answer here
i love war sims
and i wish to get invested
so i was wondering if the apex edition is good or nah?
nice
also is there a server in which i can learn to play properly? i can see that the game is pretty complexed?
absolutely
if you have a couple of friends
the apex dlc is a perfect way of getting into the game
once you get things rolling
you can start playing the warlords mode
or just play KOTH, Wasteland, maybe even dayZ
the fun you have in Arma is dependent on you
how much you are willing to put into it almost
as in you have not quit the game since?
i think he means it took out hundreds of hours out of his life or something lmao
my card stopped at the day arma got %80 sale, that timing
No, It just inspire me to do war crimes
so i comeplete the campaign and just jump into multi?
play tutorial, bootcamp to get the hang of basics
Is the Argo editior the same as Arma's?
Argo a dumbed down version of arma
its similar but not really comparable properly
so i dont have to do the sp?
not necessarily
and what sthe best type of server to join for a newbie?
but playing some will help you learn how the game plays
so you can have nicer MP experience
i just got dmed from some random person from this server
whats the rules for using this server as a platform to outreach to random people for personal reasons?
oh not to mention theyre supporting fraud and scam
those are Spam bots
popular discord servers are hit with scam/spam bot waves every day
block it and you can report it at #discord_server
im downloading the apex version of the game now, do you guys think it was worth it?
@dark dove the popular discords like this 1 get hit by waves of bot several times a day, the moderators do their best to get them banned as soon as they notice a new wave incoming, but sometimes those bots do get to send out messages before they get banned. If the person is still connected to this discord (and so slipped the bann wave) send a DM to the moderators with a screenshot of the messages that was send to you.
would that be the sysadmin?
orange named people
ah gotcha thanks!
New players huh?
yeahhhh
a small advice respect those with 1K+ hours in ARMA 3 ( or Arma series), they've seen some hell
Yup steamsale for the 8 year anniversary of Arma 3, so a lot of new players will be dropping in the next few days 😉
started strong, got teamkilled 3x in warlord by new players
@inner needle I know a few admins who close down the server during free to play or sale weekends with password only for people they "trust" so new players won't wreck the entire mission 😉
oh god
the discord is gonna be greeeaaaaatt
yup it are going to be a few busy days again 😉
hello there, so it's a little rude to ask y’all this, i'm looking for someone who can gift me Arma Tank dlc on Steam. ik it's on sale but my bank decided to stop my card couple weeks ago and i really dont wanna miss that sale
you would help me out alot
and I totally understand if you refuse
won't even ask you a reason
i feel u
Like waiting for sale for 2 months but bank violated me when it droped lol
if i had money i would give u
It’s ok thanks anyways
There will be more sale periods. Likely middle of October. Plenty of chances this year if you can't get it now.
for future you can also link your bank account and paypal so that paypal charges directly from your bank so card wont be an issue.
cant you fix something online, like paypal or something?
and asking such thing is forbidden on this server
as asking such a thing is a very common scam.
Well yeah but my credit card has some issues with paypal
as this is the internet, we cant have nice things
So it wont connect
and moderators will clean this up in a bit I suppose
Yeah lol
It’s sad that they’re rare in my country
It’s ok anyways I’ll wait it’s only $3
call your bank tomorrow, sort it out and youll be alright.
Yeah sure
👍
Bruh
Is the VC mortar glitch on the S.O.G Prairie Fire DLC work now, cause I haven’t played in a long time.

Best asked in #sog_prairie_fire
@urban sluiceen thanks
Bro i wanna shoot people but somehow ended up in a rp server
I let my dad play Arma 3 for the first time and he said it’s the most closest game to actually combat because of the ballistics etc ( My dads a Iraq and Afghanistan and Syria and Pakistan war vet.)
But you can’t get a game to be like actually combat.
what glitch?
Runs pretty good on 1440p Ultra all on 2080 super
and those with 6k hours?
I cheated for mine though. I just leave Arma running all the time 😅
just rdm/vdm like me
@weary stratus there’s a glitch where I capture a VC mortar position and get on the mortar and try to shoot it, the mortar flys up then back down towards me.
seems like the game is working as intended to me
You mean the shell? It's supposed to do that
it will fly a little feet above the mortar tube then explode in my face.
@eternal edge
That's working as intended, not a glitch
@eternal edge Oh, thanks for the advice
Np
not wishing to spoil but the reason it does that is covered in the first mission
Could be a way of sabotage, I guess.
look, if you drive an atv over a bridge, and it flies 100 meters into the air
cope, cuz it's arma
a real mens game
100 meters seems conservative for the arma space program
ahhhhhh damn, i can't send that one gif of the guy with a mortar flying into space
mortar_weeeeee.exe
"arma 3 is a realistic military shooter"
mortar guy proceeds to hop once backwards, once to the side, and then fly to space
What is the origin of that gif
Is there a channel I could report people on?
I just got dm’d by a guy trying to mentor credit card fraud
It’s AgentDbIV
hey guys, can i add someone i meet on arma3? I found a genuinely nice guy who helped me not be a noob on arma, but i couldn’t find him on steam and idk
E
bro i swtg if bohemia doesnt add a better anticheat im gonna be pissed a zeus server i was in just got hacked and everyone got kicked off
He
including the admin
I don’t have apex yet 
There was a glitch once on a WWII server and I was behind a T34 advancing with the t34 with 5 other dudes, then a jerry ran across a street and fired a panzerfaust in the front of the tank. Then the tank proceeded to crush us then boost in space, till this day we fear the panzerfaust

joe
@tardy portal no.

neither.
@sudden verge see #looking_for_game
wtf does "sysadmin" mean
1/ Google is your friend
2/ not Arma-related
3/ quit spamming, thanks
4/ follow moderator's instructions.
- I'm not spamming
- It is, this is an Arma discord and im asking about a role
- You're taking this a little too seriously
read up the definition of spam
and System Administrator it is
i sent 3 messages in 2 minutes. Maybe you should check out the definition since you're a moderator 🙂
the role itself is more related about Discord management.
Spam is:
- repeatedly sending the same message
- sending a pointless message
which is why I am telling you all this, thank you very much for your attention
lmao dude are you delusional?
i didnt repeat a message once, and i didnt send a pointless message. This moderator thing really isnt for you
"joe", "qq" were pointless messages. FYI
qq = quick question. And when i said joe i was responding to the guys saying "He" and "E" randomly
oh
qq wasn't clear to me then, apologies.
and indeed, "e" can be deemed as spam (if not accidentally sent)
isn't there a rule against using texting speech? I think there was one on the old forums, it's really annoying when people use these as you have to google what it means all the time. just write normal english...
could you clarify what you're talking about?
"qq"
"this youngster's lingo! ✊"
I thought it wasn't cool to use this sms speak thing anymore
nothing cool about it, easier to type.
well easier for you to type, harder for me to read
but harder to read, and prone to error, as shown here 😬
thats not my problem?
it is
Aware the situation but can't execute a mass ban buy myself right now, I hope we have an active moderator outside EU than me the Japanese
you're responsible for how well you're being understood when communicating with people
cool
anyway, "g2g, fyi" etc are quite common, but qq, here, not so much
PS. the channel to report something/someone on this Discord server is #discord_server
Bohemia interactive Simulation, i kinda want to know more about them
Google then, not the same company (anymore) ^^
indeed
QQ is used very often my fella.
not here mah dude
this game has an older demographic
Maybe ask BISim employee there, like Mondkalb (IIRC), if he loves to talk about
people are lazy these days, typing Quick question is deemed to exhausting
now quit acting like a brat or be treated as one, from Dad with love 😛
thats not my problem mah dude
@tardy portal it is
Nah, expand your vocabulary mah dude
mine yes, this server maybe not
So in your interest, try to write proper sentences
by you saying "dad with love" its making me feel that youre in your 30/40s and thats why you dont understand. (No offense)
and indeed, let's leave it at that
as expected from ARMA discount, more new people came in only to wreck havoc in game (and in discord)
bringing discord
Not trying to start beef nor an arguement. But you throwing punches at me for bullshit is unnecessary
… let's leave it?
is there a guide on how to disable vehicles?
wdym
is arma 3 like 50vs50
if not i want to make my own
Quaser, are you Quasar from Warlord?
no
