hey buddys I am trying to host a lobby, can someone help me out and try to join
I ve set the port forward settings in the router, but I am not sure if this is all correct

[high mural]

Not even related to this topic but

!localhost

[karmic pebble]

Arma 3
To host a server or a game session locally, you need to make sure first that your WAN address / external IP uses the IPv4 protocol!
Check your router’s status page in the settings to confirm. (If in doubt, ask your ISP, Websites like “whatismyip.com” give you a false positive!)
Local servers and games can not be hosted on an IPv6 network, or IPv4 via DSlite tunnel!
https://www.avg.com/en/signal/ipv4-vs-ipv6
Once you have confirmed that your connection uses the IPv4 protocol, you need to manually open / forward the ports 2302-2306 UDP (https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Dedicated_Server#Port_Forwarding)
See your router’s manual on how to do that, or ask google: “<your router model> + port forwarding”

[high mural]

Make sure these

[rugged shore]

Uhm. I'm not sure if it's ok to ask this here but... do anyone know if there's a mirror for the Fall of the Titans mod? It was taken down from the workshop apparently.

[hazy mist]

no, it was made out of ripped/stolen content and banned.

[rugged shore]

thats... unfortunate

[hazy mist]

in sense that it would have been cool mod if the maker actually made it and did not steal the models, yes.

[rugged shore]

didn't CUP use models from previous games? modified, yes, but still ripped assets

[hazy mist]

no

they used models from Arma 2 public release datapacks

those are available for Arma use for everyone

[rugged shore]

Still, I've seen non-profit fan-made projects been taken down, even tho they didn't use any of the original assets, so I don't think making your own stuff makes you completely safe of copyright infringement reports, but oh well. The mod was cool, it's a shame.

[hazy mist]

main thing is to ASK PERMISSION FIRST and then do stuff

some IP owners are rather nice about it when asked

some sure deny all derivate work

it was not cool. it was stolen content. You too should not endorse such behavior. If everyone did respect IP, we would have cool legit mods for everyone to enjoy.

[long geyser]

I wouldn't say being able to consider something "cool" is contingent on it being morally/legally correct. It's a shame it used ripped content, but it's perfectly fair to say it was a "cool" mod if it was enjoyable.

[hazy mist]

I disagree

[long geyser]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

That's fine just a bit weird to invalidate someone else's opinion because of your own

[rich quartz]

I have a question and I'm not sure which chat it belongs in:
are there other methods besides editor previews for taking pictures of items? I am looking to take pictures of uniform retextures in a T-Pose with no character in the clothing. Has anyone discussed or accomplished this before?

[hazy mist]

not possible

you can however create a invisible character for such use

also for future reference#arma3_questions is place to ask when no other channel feel right and #arma3_texture could have worked since it is texture related

[rich quartz]

that works, then I can just have a mission with a locked off camera and should be good

[rich quartz]

thanks!

[hazy mist]

it is possible to automate picture taking with scripts yeah

[rich quartz]

i just realized it was total conversions and not total conversations 😂

[hazy mist]

😅

Don't know if this is the right place but anyway.

To get an extension whitelisted for BattlEye is the wiki page correct with its method? Just send a message via the contact page and fingers crossed they send you back a signed version/whitelist it?

[hazy mist]

when in doubt #arma3_questions is the place. and yes the wiki is correct

[blissful pike]

Alright then, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks Goat.

[long geyser]

Finalized portal mod feature list
https://i.imgur.com/HlcfkWk.png

[trail cape]

it's Arma 😛

btw do units still disappear when they get in front of the portal?

[long geyser]

Wdym disappear?

[trail cape]

this

the vehicle

[long geyser]

Still not sure what you mean, the vehicle does teleport a bit before reaching the actual portal but that's just me needing to work around the limits of collision detection

[trail cape]

the vehicle does teleport a bit before reaching the actual portal
yeah that

[long geyser]

I mean if you can think of a reliable way around that I'll implement it, but as far as I've seen it's about the best that can be done

as I can only rely on the distance from the portal pos to the center pos of the vehicle

which is non-uniform depending on the orientation of the vehicle

[trail cape]

dunno. maybe disableCollisionWith?

also that vehicle didn't even fit through the portal 😅

[long geyser]

Yeah I'm stretching the traditional limits of the portals a bit (literally, here)

another thing they can do that they can't in the portal series is the ability to be placed on moving objects

as far as disableCollisionWith I don't think it'd be enough

[trail cape]

btw do you check if the portal would stick out through the edges of the geometry?

[long geyser]

Yeah there's an entire portal placement checker

keeps them confined within geometrically appropriate bounds

w/ adjustable tolerance levels so you can adjust how strict it is

[trail cape]

you mean it's not just multiple lineIntersectsSurfaces with GEOM/FIRE LOD and checking if all intersection points lie on the same plane?

[long geyser]

It is just with some adjustability as far as how much wiggle room it has

can go anywhere from requiring a pretty much perfect planar surface to allowing you to place them almost anywhere

[trail cape]

oh that's what you meant. ok

[long geyser]

Overall pretty happy with it, code can always be cleaned up more but it's open source so people can always suggest improvements

will be released as soon as I fix up the last few remaining bugs

[trail cape]

yeah it looks pretty good 👍

[long geyser]

thanks 🙂

[trail cape]

it's not released yet tho right?

[long geyser]

nope not yet, very close though

probably only a week or two until it's on the workshop

[trail cape]

yeah it was weird it wasn't top on workshop 😅

[long geyser]

haha yeah I'm anticipating it'll be pretty popular

which is also why I'm sweating trying to clean up multiplayer bugs

[trail cape]

portal fans will definitely get a kick out of it 😛

and now that we have compositions I hope people will make their own puzzles

[long geyser]

oh yeah that'd be awesome

I actually have support for editor-placed portals and single-portal modes for the portal gun

so you can make puzzles that operate around control over 1 portal rather than 2, like in some of the game puzzles

[trail cape]

add the gel next 🤣

[long geyser]

oh god fluid simulation in arma

what mainly scares me is the inevitable question of whether I will port the mod to reforger

which is a resounding NO

[trail cape]

I guess you could use some transparent balls for the fluid

[long geyser]

hundreds of transparent physx balls lmao

[hazy mist]

particles 😄

[trail cape]

oh that's a nice idea

[long geyser]

I'll let someone pull request gel after release if they want it 😅

[keen wing]

Yo so I have a question

[long geyser]

?

[keen wing]

So I wanna make a server a map

Basically a Modern Warfare Map and I wanna input an oil rig

How would I do that

[long geyser]

Uhh that's a question for #arma3_scenario

[keen wing]

Oh thanks

[long geyser]

does anyone have a link to an up to date tutorial on how to start modding using blender in arma 3 i cant seem to find one that isnt 5-7 years old

[hazy mist]

There isn't any. The principles however are the same, the UI is just slightly different

[onyx slate]

@blissful rain Sorry to bother, but, does RHS have a public discord?

[blissful rain]

no, we don’t have a public discord, ours is private

[normal wigeon]

Is there a mod to dig GRAD Trenches with vehicles? I think i saw something like that before, but can't find it now.

[frosty pulsar]

Yo i would need a small advice. Im looking for some mod that would improve artillery computer and maybe even arti in general, but artillery computer is kinda main thing. I had no luck so if anyone knows any mod for that I would be grateful.

[hazy mist]

improve it how?

[zinc mural]

https://youtu.be/I3OX8ou8CT8
Some kind of this "tablet" or do you want computer which is not movable?
There is a lot of mods for artillery, you just need test how they is build and does they are for you

If you are the creator of cosmos engine for arma3 please message me.

[hazy mist]

dont think hes around anymore.

been years since hes been active

[long geyser]

I need to find some things out related to it's inner workings.

[hazy mist]

well heres hoping you get lucky. 🤞

[long geyser]

A friend of mine is working on a big project which uses it.

Specifically, we need a way to use 2000 by 2000 km maps in arma3 multiplayer

Not many buildings or assets present

[hazy mist]

not really possible

sorry

or well possible sure, but buggy

Im sure your idea is great but you are not the first ones who want that

but the terrain engine cant handle the coordinates

[long geyser]

What is the maximum possible with no issues

Or is it possible to split the map up into different instances?

[hazy mist]

90km or so maybe. the more KM you got the less coordinates can have digits.
isntancing could be done with multiple servers but it would not be smooth transitions or smooth gameplay

as in you would have multiple servers running different maps and swap server via scripting

[long geyser]

Well, there goes the dream

[hazy mist]

at least I recall that was possible. dont quote me on that

Arma 3 has been around for some time and quite a many ideas have been explored before

it is good to ask

but also most things have been made so if nobody has made it, there is a chance its not possible

[long geyser]

I'm guessing gigantic(10km²) late 19th century cities full of npcs are also out the window

[hazy mist]

pretty likely

one would need expectionally well made and optimized assets to even try

the full of npcs might be more problematic though

[long geyser]

It's hard for an army to raid a city if you have no one in the city to steal from

[light radish]

So I'm working on a faction mod and while scrolling trough the CFG for the vanilla units. I found this entry

what does role=" "; do here?

I looked it up but couldn't find any information.

is this related to the AI?

or the multiplayer lobby?

or the AI voiced callouts?

[onyx slate]

I believe it sets the indicator for the unit

[light radish]

indicator?

[onyx slate]

The circle indicator for the unit

Like how some have a slash, some have a wrench, etc

[light radish]

🤔 that's icon=" ".

[trail cape]

It sets the role displayed on the group bar

[rustic ibex]

There are literally dozens of maps more than 150*150 km available

the PMCs ones, for example, or the South East Asia map from ANZACS Steve

Ok sorry for the UP, didn't realise the message was this old xD

[hazy mist]

no worries. but I do know what I talk about. 2000km map would have 0 use on ground level and would lag like any other large map beyond certain KM amount when coordinate precision starts deteriorate.

normally coordinates allow millimeter precision but when you go far enough that turns into 1 meter and then 10 meter precision

which is basically unplayable

the over 100km terrains work to certain degree for sure, but even they start to suffer from the above issue

[rustic ibex]

Agreed. Although from my experience, everything up to 150km is still reliable coordinate-wise;
I'm able to use them effectively for navigation and weapon targetting for example.
To my knowledge, those map are usually very jet gameplay oriented. Big land features, cities without any details or thought put into them whatshowever, etc.
They work pretty well imo, tho

[hazy mist]

the problem should become more apparent the more north west you go. It is less noticeable in jets/air due to speed and nothing to properly reference with. but it can still be game breaking when actually trying to fight with someone

and on ground vehicles and units start to jump and objects can no longer be placed properly

If I remember it right the deterioration starts at 100km since that drops the first decimal out

the next issue is the level of detail that is realistic to achieve on object placement

if lets say active 5 person team makes 20x20km map (in very hand crafted detail) in 1-2 years (400sq km) you can count how long 10000sqkm terrain might take in same level.

if less detail is enough then its not as much a problem

[misty basin]

Hey there! So I need to use a mod that is not signed, and on the off chance that I do needed it signed to run it on the server. How do I sign someone else's mod, basically?

[tough mantle]

Does anyone know how the radar rotates on the Cheeta AA? I'm really curious if that is done via config or model, bc it only works when the radar is active.

[tough mantle]

You can do that with DSUtils in Arma 3 Tools >> https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/DSUtils

[hazy mist]

hiding unhiding of static and spinning part when radar is on/off

there is animation source for that (radar on/off)

[misty basin]

How do I go about achieving that?

Since it's not my mod, I can't just unpack it and then repack it

[hazy mist]

in future @misty basin this kind of questions go to #arma3_questions
and @tough mantle #arma3_animation
😜

[misty basin]

Fair enough sorry, didn't know where to ask

[hazy mist]

#arma3_questions is the place when you dont know. 👍

Check out if #linux_mac_branch has any tips

[green fable]

@wooden spruce is the toy soldiers thing a mod you can download?

or wait. are you just using setunittexture on stuff? can you do that on weapons?

[wooden spruce]

@green fable with the army men mod, what i'm doing is overriding the textures of the object with a saturated color. so no i'm not using setunittexture as i'm actually completely replacing the texture with a solid color. and yes, i can and am already doing that to weapons. I'm anticipating the release of my Army Men: Prairie Fire Extension today. It'll feature all vehicles, weapons, vests, uniforms and more with completely new textures that will have the units look like plastic soldier

[green fable]

oh ok. so you're actually doing it in config

@wooden spruce have you thought about map making for it? like use sogpf assets and make like, a map set inside a living room

[wooden spruce]

@green fable while i would love to have a special map for it, i do not have the experience or knowledge of making such a map. i can make a map with scripting and the setobjectscale. but a dedicated map is not on my list of priorities rightnow

[green fable]

fair enough

[haughty solstice]

I have a question
Why do modded amphibious vehicles can't reach high speeds in water ? Like for example the brdm2 from RHS is going max speed 10kmh in the water but in real life it can reach 90km/h in water

And a second question, how do I make any amphibious vehicles f a s t e r

[distant jasper]

what. from Wikipedia:

Maximum speed
100 km/h (62 mph) (road)
10 km/h (6.2 mph) (water)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BRDM-2

[haughty solstice]

My bad I was kind of tired so I read it wrong

But can amphibious vehicles be faster in the water ?

[distant jasper]

no idea, vehicles are not my strong suit. I'd guess via modding or for a more wonky approach via setVelocity

[haughty solstice]

What's «setVelocity»?

[distant jasper]

an sqf command

[haughty solstice]

Ok thanks 👌

[frozen wave]

They can and without scripts. Needs just to be correctly done

#arma3_model I guess

[long geyser]

Hello everyone, I am new in this little world of modeling, configurations, animations...etc. Could someone recommend me how to start in the best possible way?

[hazy mist]

Learning happens in stages. Starting point could be choosing a program to work with like Blender and starting doing just generic "how to" tutorials for it.

To understand how the tools works and how modeling works

[hazy mist]

this is not channel for such advertising

[lucid oracle]

@hazy mist where can ask about something

Like this

[hazy mist]

well I dont think we have a channel for such. You would best try some UE related avenues

and well in all honesty I would suggest you really really study what your idea involves before saying youre serious about it.

[lucid oracle]

Im serious to try it

You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take

[hazy mist]

for sure. Im just ssying you need to do your ground work first

unless you intend to be just the ideas guy

[lucid oracle]

Im sure that my skill set wont cover any area needed for such a project

because of that im asking other people that my have a skill set that would possibly cover the need for such a specific skill.

[hazy mist]

thats the spot youll need to work first.

[dense cipher]

It would be so cool to have a open source list of arma 3 libraries that could then have a dependency manager and then it just installs what you need.

Dependencies could be defined as json/yaml/xml

e.g.

my mod - ver 1.03

      -- depends on CBA - @2.03~ (locked to this version)
      -- depend on Free Guns - @1.4# 
```e

[onyx slate]

Dependencies for your mod? That’s what requiredAddons is for…

[tired verge]

Someone plz make GWOT in the same way praie fire was amazing

[hidden jacinth]

i doubt there is any other studio that could throw out a few million bucks, because that's around how much they spent on SOG development

well SOG and other stuff, but with smaller budget it wouldn't be "in the same way"

[high mural]

Also, if you want something to see, you can make. More like that's the best way

[knotty rain]

Yo, If I load all my addons in the ram of my dedicated server, will it work way faster? I'm looking for every way to make my server run faster

[hazy mist]

for server related questions we have various server_ channels like #server_admins #server_linux #server_windows

[swift ermine]

So uh the publisher freezes whenever I try to publish a mod

[fresh tangle]

Is there difference in performance and load between registration Killed EventHandler on every unit (man, tanks, air etc) or registering only one EH EntityKilled?

[maiden ermine]

difference in memory usage, besides that not really

eventhandlers get executed when event happens, outside of that they just lay around and do nothing

handling every entity spawn in order to add the eventhandler to it is probably more expensive

[fresh tangle]

Thank you for answer. A several days ago I did refactor my logic from Killed on every entity to EntityKilled...

[keen pond]

maybe it still publishes. you can doublecheck. otherwise check the arma tools files via steam. might be corrupted

[somber lark]

hey has anyone ever seen the error Script scripts\shared\fetch_params.sqf not found

[tranquil kraken]

im trying to clean up my mod of unused textures, models, and sound files that have built up over 7+ years, is there a way to get a list of unused assets in a pbo

[hazy mist]

Would need to write some sort of program for that.

[opaque aspen]

script that iterates through every path in the mod directory and checks if the path is in config.cpp and not noted shouldnt be too difficult

[trail cape]

It's not as simple as that

Not everything is used by config.cpp

Some stuff are used by models

e.g. surfaces and rvmats

And some stuff are used by scripts, etc.

[timber basalt]

Alright hear me out yall. Have any of you guys tried the UH-60 Hatchet Framework? It’s the Blackhawk system but with the interior controls, you actually flip switches on the inside to turn it on.

Hear me out, wouldn’t it be dope to have an Abrams MBT system where it has an interactive interior? Like the driver has to start the engine and use the corresponding switches to do so. The loader has to actually choose the round by opening the compartment.

I was wondering if this was already a pre existing mod. Or something I could commission from someone?

[hazy mist]

no for existing and no for commisioning

as mod tools are non commercial and cant be paid for

realistically you would be looking at somewhere around 20K€ worth of work anyway

That's awesome! and actually a true "total conversion", that's pretty rare!

[hollow matrix]

This looks awesome! :)

[dawn epoch]

does anyone have any ideas as to why it would take 8+ hours to pack something on average?

i packed a helmet and 40 bohemia patches and it took 9 or so hours, but my addon builder and such is on my SSD.

[hybrid flame]

What do you mean packed? Like into a pbo?

[hazy mist]

maybe you have all your source material in same folder and you also packed all that into the pbo

nothing should take 9 hours to pack

[dawn epoch]

all i have is config, model cfg, textures necesarry for the models i have and thats it

[hazy mist]

no idea specifically why it would do that

but likely a problem with the model

or million textures to convert

[dawn epoch]

does it with basically anything

i made props not long ago and it took around same time

[hazy mist]

cant say that is normal

[dawn epoch]

should i reinstall my arma tools? or try PBO Project?

[hazy mist]

id recommend pboProject yeah

though it has more rigid structure requirements it does give more info on what could be wrong

will do, thank you my friend.

youve been helping me around for idk how long now lol i appreciate it

do i just do these settings?

There are some AI mods but they might not quite do what you expect. but also AI skill level can be adjusted per character if you are making a mission.

[opaque aspen]

#creators_recruiting, not here

[undone fern]

Whatever happened to the definition of "Total Conversion" ?

I mean, looking at the Make Arma Not War finalists

there are some entries i would not call a total conversion/modification at all

ALiVE? MCC? AGM?

RHS?

Back in Operation Flashpoint, mods like FDF were total conversions

New main menu, custom soundtrack, a story-driven singleplayer campaign with voice-acting, new animations, singleplayer scenarios, multiplayer co-ops. And ofcourse a tonload of new units

RHS is just the latter

Same with that Halo mod

here are some HALO units. TOTAL CONVERSION!

ALiVE is a feature-rich mod, but i wouldn't even call it close to a total conversion

[vagrant roost]

so what category would you have put them in? addon?

[hollow matrix]

... There's a lot to unpack here, I'mm send you a DM to sort this out XD

[turbid lance]

Can someone help me?

All of the sudden Arma (atleast whenever I am playing DRO) will start lagging and have severe LOD pop up extremely nearby, yes I do use mods and yes my game is laggy and yes I do crash but this never ever happened before especially with my recent mods

I tried to figure out which one is causing it and so far I know that after disabling CBA I still did lag but not freeze and crash and get severely close LOD which may suggest that one of the mods or even CBA itself is the culprit

but I can't believe this, stuff like this didn't happen before, my computer is beefy enough to handle Arma, the most recent mods I unsubbed to still did nothing

and when I crash I get DX11 TEXTURE OUT OF MEMORY error

I understand some of you may say "just don't play with mods" and I understand that but I don't feel like playing without some of them and the weird thing is I decided to use my unit's modpack to play a DRO game and it consits 3x more mods than mine yet the only thing that it did was load slower but I had no severe LOD problems, no crashes and only lag to Arma reasons

if this isn't the place to ask then sorry, please link me the channel for it

I did try performance profilling mode but it somewhat makes the lag even worse

so... i am new here and i was told that you guys might be able to help me with this. I have a A3 exileZ server and its randomly crashing

tried on exile discord and even with their help does not seem like RPT is giving anything significant

they told em to come here and try you guys (i dont even know if this is the right channel on the server to this)

but i was told to send the crashDump here

so here they are (all the logs):

if anybody can help me to at least understand what is going on i would be very grateful

i built this server like 4 years ago, and it had the same problem, but since the RPT ends with "memory access violation" i googled this error and i found something saying that was ARMA 3 trying to use cpu instructions that my cpu did not have

then i just dumped the idea and let the server aside for a while, now, i have a better pc with a different CPU and decided to give it a new shot but it seems like the problem persists

btw, i also tried opening the .mdmp file in visual studio dubugger, but since i dont even know what i am looking for, nothing poped to me

[next wedge]

Hey guys, as someone who is wanting to start on a total conversion modification what advice do people have for me and would anyone be interested in helping me with this endeavour?

[hidden jacinth]

learn how to make your own stuff (modeling, texturing) and how to make it work in game (rigging, configuring). If you've never done anything modding-related before then start from the basics, otherwise you'll either get burned out or look for shortcuts that might do more wrong than good.

and definitely don't be just "the idea guy".

if you're looking for some cooperation then post in #creators_recruiting

[hazy mist]

it will take long time so be prepared for that

and yeah as Honger mentions, learning to do "basically everything" is often beneficial as getting a skilled group together is far more difficult task

sure at some point your project might attract others, but one can not really ever rely on that to happen

and people come and go depending on how their lives go

[next wedge]

Thanks, this is all really useful information.

I'm at the stage of learning how to rig and do configs currently as I've only done more simple addons before this like Soundtracks, Rebalances, etc.

[hazy mist]

also if you intend to use some existing IP instead of creating your own stuff do make sure you can actually use it.

and models taken from other games is very strict no no

even most "free" game ready models on the interwebs are in fact stolen from one or other game

[wise stump]

How about this suggestion:

ARMA 3 SUGGESTION:
1.Please improve your Game optimization!
My computer: Intel Core i7- 12650h, RTX 2050, 16GB RAM, 3200* 2000 * 90Hz, only 10 FPS when playing Eden editor when units over 50. That is abnormal.

2.Some New boat vehicles, a new DLC: Navy DLC

3.A new game mode: Skirmish
Like in Battlelfield, you against bots, and a spectator mode also can be added, you can watch bots fight against each other.

4.A new campaign that player is CSAT:
For the motherland
The story happen in a broading small city in Belarus, Player is a CSAT soldier to protect your home from NATO.

[high mural]

1. Normal if you load absurd amount of Mods
2. BI no longer makes DLCs
3. Play Eden Editor
4. BI no longer makes DLCs
5. Wrong channel

Hi I'm looking for a tutorial or papers to use object builder.
I'm starting a project to bring new factions of sci fi franchises to arma.

[vale obsidian]

this is wrong channel for that use but i personally started from https://www.reddit.com/r/arma/comments/24nk0h/tutorials_for_modeling_and_texturing/ and https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Oxygen_2_-_Manual but most people use arma toolbox or similar in blender as it is much much better than doing anything in oxygen 2

[grand bane]

Also, beware of the licenses of the IP of the franchises you want to use (further discussion on this should be in #other_ip_topics)
This is a decent list of what's permitted, and mostly up to date https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Intellectual_Property
Star Wars is generally not permitted,
Halo is fine if you make your own models,
WH40k is tolerated?

Ripping models from other games is bad.

Hey all, I’ve returned back to Arma 3 after many years, haven’t played Reforger and not really interested. I need some advice, I wanna update Arma 3, what are the top graphics/textures mods to install to bring Arma 3 to 2025? Also installed OPCOM yesterday too. Any advice is appreciated👍🏻

[hazy mist]

there arent really any graphics or texture mods like that

basically theres mods that add various content

but nothing that "overhauls" graphics like you might see in some other games

like 4K textues and stuff like that

[split night]

I play allot of Stalker gamma, has retexture packs, improved water effects, shadows etc. isn’t there any mods at all which could bring the visuals a bit more up to date at all? Yeah there’s allot of content, missions etc. ahh that’s a shame I thought that would have happened by now with the modding community

[hazy mist]

no

nothing like that

and there is no engine access for that kind of mods

this is not the right channel for that

[pseudo plank]

If I were to create a realism based Total Conversion and wanted to rename Altis to its real world counterpart ie Lemnos, would that break any rules or is that doable?

[acoustic hill]

anybody know of any artillery mods?

[topaz topaz]

what happen to official servers

\

[north fern]

@topaz topaz #arma3_official_servers

[shell stream]

Just renaming the map should be fine as ACE renames the vanilla weapons and vics to their IRL counterparts

[pseudo plank]

👌

[hazy mist]

eh??

for general questions #arma3_questions

and if you want to find some mod, use steam workshop or google

[flat grotto]

Why do people always ask random questions here?
oh wait

[hazy mist]

Wrong channel and most definitely can't pay for mod making.

[open oar]

What channel should I use then.

Also not asking for someone to pay, I’m looking to pay someone

[hazy mist]

Yes that is forbidden.

[hazy mist]

Will result in mod maker, you and the mod banned

[open oar]

Messaged you in DMs but tracking here.

[violet seal]

Wanted to ask if ARMA 3 can be modded to implement overtly supernatural elements, like bullet time, HP regen or psionic abilities

[hazy mist]

Yes to some extent.

[violet seal]

To which, actually?

[high mural]

Check Western Sahara

[hazy mist]

all Id suppose

[violet seal]

Alchemist? Sounds pretty much like what I actually mean

[maiden ermine]

But I guess bullet time not in multiplayer.
But you can slow time in Singleplayer

[violet seal]

No-no, I don't need it in multiplayer

I want to make a FEAR-like campaign but in Chernarus

ChDKZ hunt for top secret Soviet psi-weapon

[north fern]

you need to combine https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setAccTime with https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/useAudioTimeForMoves

[high mural]

Psy-grab something like Vader ever does, can be done via addForce Each Frame

[halcyon lagoon]

Does anyone still play A3? Or do the masses run reforger

[hazy mist]

Yes many play A3 but #arma3_questions is the place for general questions

[trail timber]

Hello. I would like to point out right away that I am new to the army. I recently started using the ACE mod. I really liked it, BUT it turned out that when I want to rotate the navigation tools, I get teleported to the location of my cursor. The keys are: Left Alt and left mouse button. I would be grateful for a solution to the problem. Thank you in advance.

[hazy mist]

best place to ask ACE related things would be ACE discord

or the above mentioned #arma3_questions

[reef vigil]

guys

what it means

[high mural]

I have no idea why this channel is everyone's first goto channel
#arma3_troubleshooting instead , also read TPW Mod's instructions about it

[hazy mist]

For those who happen here by accident not finding the right channel. Start from #arma3_questions OR #arma3_troubleshooting This channels topic "Total Conversions" covers large mod projects that change/touch all or nearly all aspects of the game

[whole pilot]

I think no one can hear me when I talk in ARMA 3. Is this a known issue?

I don't know how to fix that

[grand bane]

@whole pilot Did you read the message above yours?
You need #arma3_troubleshooting

[hazy mist]

you are probably on wrong channel

also arma 3d models are not available for editing

and we have 0 tolerance for ripping and theft

[eternal vault]

oh okok

sorry

[void abyss]

Wow some moderator you are bruv

[vast cave]

I prefer you reading the giant message above yours, wrong channel

[verbal notch]

Sorry for using the wrong channel but I seriously have no idea where I can share this

[hazy mist]

is it something you want to discuss or what is the context of the list?

[verbal notch]

Uhh, was my sp modlist that I normally run

[hazy mist]

yes but did you want to share it for some specific purpose

Im trying to figure out where to guide you to talk about it but need to know what you want

[verbal notch]

I asked what sound and visual reworks everybody uses and shared mine (Dynasound2 and Project VFX)

[hazy mist]

then #arma3_questions

but please format it bit more nicely.

[verbal notch]

Ok

[dense solar]

I have 350 hours and I just realized Altis is based on a real place called lemnos

[quasi stirrup]

Yet I don't see what that has to do with Arma 3 Total Conversion mods...

[dense solar]

This is literally a channel for conversation about arma 3 isn't it?

Or is this seemingly the channel for telling people it's the wrong channel

[quasi stirrup]

no, see header
"Discussion about total game conversions (aka overcomplex fully fledged modifications)"

[maiden ermine]

A "conversion" is not a "conversation"

[dense solar]

Oh you're right

Mb didn't notice

[woven pumice]

this channel is like wahtsapp group videocalls, only used by accident lol

changing the name to somethig like arma3_total_remake or arma3_full_conversion , rework ?

[high mural]

It is sometimes discussed on our end. Any changes are not (yet) done, but honestly I'd vote for nuke this channel

[formal axle]

anyone know what mode operator drewski was playing in his newest video

oh nvm its reforger

[hazy mist]

Check channel names carefully pls. Conversion not conversation.

[late lava]

Hello. I have a question regarding the total conversion mod (is it proper to call it so?) called IFA3. How would you rate its assets quality? Are they on level of RHS or CUP/CFP? Is it much different from SPE1944? I am asking because IFA3 takes a lot of time to download and SPE44 costs money.

[high mural]

Are you aware of Compatibility Data to preview them?

[late lava]

Oh, I forgot this exists! Thank you! But however, I still need someone to tell me if IFA3 assets are good.

[hazy mist]

They are many years older.

[late lava]

Oh, and Youtube finally started working. I don't know why I couldn't access it before. Now I see IFA3 is even worse than Unsung.

[solar raptor]

Does anyone know how you can load the SOG PF cDLC (or any cDLC) while in the diagnostics branch? (arma3diag_x64.exe)?

you have to load the addons through the expansions tab ingame, cause it doesn't pull up the launcher, but there are only DLC's and mods in that list, no cDLC

[north fern]

@solar raptor you replace the exe (ie arma3.exe and make it use the 32bit via A3 launcher), or use a batch file (and get your parameters from top of rpt log file)

[solar raptor]

thanks! i'll take a look, first time using a bat file so we'll see

[solar raptor]

figured it out, thanks man!

saved me a massive headache

[eager verge]

im new to arma 3 just bought the game can anyone teahc me how to play\

[hazy mist]

Wrong channel.

Conversion, not conversation

#arma3_questions

[hazy mist]

I think #arma3_questions would be the better place to ask such. The question does not quite fit the total conversion mod topic of the channel

[flat vale]

anhy conversion mods you guys suggest?

[hazy mist]

depends widely on what interests you

typically you would join a unit/game group that plays with a set if you intend to play online

[hazy mist]

also #arma3_questions is the best place for this kind of questions

[hazy mist]

**# For the next one: Please be sure to post inside the right channels 😄 **
Its only for a better workflow

[prisma fossil]

I want to know aboutthe best ArmA 3 TCs

[hazy mist]

There isnt really ranking for that

[prisma fossil]

I mean

People like ArmA 3 and its TCs

So

WHat do people like to play

and is pretty popular (And Single-Player)

[reef eagle]

Steam workshop > sort by downloads

Would be my best guess

[hazy mist]

#arma3_questions

or #linux_mac_branch

[hazy mist]

#arma3_questions is the first stop to find where to go

id:customize is where you can toggle what channels you can see

#arma3_animation is the channel for animation related modding talk

[hazy mist]

#arma3_official_servers message you can report such activity with these instructions

[hazy mist]

not related to the channel topic

also if you intet to discuss something add a message that relays what you want to say

place for that could be #arma3_feedback_tracker #arma3_questions or even #general_chat_arma

this is not the right channel though

[copper oxide]

Where do i get started in arma 3

I've played the single player mode and had fun

[flat grotto]

Play the tutorials, the bootcamp/prologue campaign, The East Wind Campaign, and the Showcases. But anyway: #arma3_total_conversion message

[small saffron]

Hi, does anyone know how to make anti-air shoot into the sky for effect during a mission in the eden editor?

how could I do that?

[flat grotto]

Wrong place: #arma3_total_conversion message
Ask in #arma3_editor.

[jagged rose]

This channel needs a different name or something 😭

[small saffron]

sorry

[flat grotto]

What kind of name would even help? I think it's that the id:customize are really messed up by default so it only shows this to new people.

[jagged rose]

arma3_tc or something that doesn't look say Total or look like Conversation, something esoteric. Just spitballing

[lethal pulsar]

hey does anyone have any tips to keep middle east ops fun?

like

Im making a fallujah op

and im trying to figure out how to keep everything fun for everyone

ive got some mods that make damage a lot more dangerous

(ace, kat medical, simple suppress, bloodlust, project injury reaction (ragdoll physics only), advanced wound reaction, death and hit reactions)

ive got stuff that makes the game generally more immersive

basically i want the game to feel as fun as possible while also being unique in a way that is consistent with how fallujah actually was in 2004

I want the challenge to be different from a regular arma 3 game

[hazy mist]

#arma3_scenario is best place to talk about mission making. this channel is for something else.

[lethal pulsar]

mb i was trying to figure out what channel this should go in but i didnt know if it would fit in any specific channel so i just put it in here

but ill move it

[hazy mist]

when one does not know something its best to ask at #arma3_questions.

for the future

[flat grotto]

Wrong channel; use #arma3_troubleshooting or #reforger_troubleshooting.

[long geyser]

alright sorry

[stiff snow]

anyone know how to switch back to main character when taking control of a squadmate in antistasi

[hazy mist]

You had the right gut feel.
Guy is already banned from here and from workshop from stealing other people's content and saying they made it.
Guy has been making remaster mods for about a decade. Back then for Age of Empires, also been banned from all the forums for it.
Also several scam attempts along the lines of "My wife died and i cannot pay for the funeral, please donate me money".
Then they moved on to some other game, I forgot what it was, and since about a year they do the same crap for Arma 3.
They run AI over it to edit it slightly and make I seem like their own work, and then they even ask for money and donations for their work. Ugh.

Though quite entertaining to dig into the whole story. If you google scammer enkeli you'll find a few reddit posts about them with history if you're bored.

[timber sparrow]

#arma3_questions

[flat grotto]

Wrong channel; use #arma3_troubleshooting.
What's the error when joining servers? It might be that you don't have the exact same mods as the server. If you join the server through the launcher, it gives you a prompt to automatically correct your mods.

[timber sparrow]

this channel should just get deleted at this point

[hazy mist]

but some other channel would just take its place 😅

[timber sparrow]

truth nuke

[flat grotto]

Replace #offtopic_arma with this channel 😂
I have a feeling that when people join, Discord messes up the channels so people only see this and some random other channels.
Though I do think that a name like #arma3_overhaul_mods or something that doesn't sound like "conversation" would help.

[ionic pike]

im close to creating a playable RTS game inside of Arma. However i need somone else to help me play test it as it needs 2 people. If anyone wants to help me out i would apreciate it more than you can imagine. if interested DM me and ill sort the rest out over call as there is a little bit to set up before the game starts.

[hazy mist]

no crossposting same thing on multiple channels thx

you probably would get more traction on testing if you describe what you have done more throughoutly too

[ionic pike]

got u issue is its a lot that needs to be explained in person as its very experimental atm

[hazy mist]

you could make a video of it for example.

yeah goo point where woul i post that. it was also still nee a second for a emo its kinda har to explain without seeing it

[left glacier]

any recommendations on how to help deal with the massive cheating problem in Warlords

like is there an in game reporting system

there is a 3 stack in the official US servers that make whatever server they are in unplayable for the opposing team. They use alts to afk command points and spy on the enemy team then thet just camp the enemy team for hours. This is happening on US W01 as I'm writing this.

[hidden jacinth]

[brisk lichen]

[hazy mist]

Is more a #arma3_scripting kind of a question

[flat grotto]

Join from the server tab of the launcher; it will give you a prompt to load the required mods for whatever server you're joining.
Wrong channel though— #arma3_questions is the right one.

[fringe wren]

I deleted the orginal post so its not crowding up the chat

[flat grotto]

It's fine either way. (Almost) nobody's used this channel correctly in year(s). It seems like it's the only channel Discord shows to new people.

[fringe wren]

The only way i seen the questions was by clicking your tag. I think it would be better if the channels were combined so you dont have all the ones there. Like texture, terrain, and animiation could be one in my opinion, but also I dont edit or create anything

[flat grotto]

They're all fairly unrelated so IMO it would be annoying to have them together. Use id:browse to make sure you have the channels you want.

[shadow furnace]

@strong path Yes, we are working quite hard on it 😃 Update is coming soon with for example, new magpul mbus for MSBS, barrel variants and fixed some issues regarding Eden update

[strong path]

Cool 😄

[worn dagger]

So i just did a little experiment for myself using the UNSUNG mod. I put 40 NVA on a hill that slopes to a river with long grass and gave them a "Careless" seek and destroy waypoint onto of US forces on an Island in the river. I knew where the NVA were going to come from and it still took me a couple of monents to identify them in the long grass. It was like a movie.

[north fern]

@sonic blade what is this room for? RHS, ACE, UNSUNG and such?

[sonic blade]

yep, it's for talk about such major/total conversions

[north fern]

so release updates too, or conversations in what sense?

Is RHS broken for Dedicated Servers? Can't find any external confirmation, but two of our dedicated servers fail to open any RHS-missions after APEX. Regular hosting works.

Windows, log spams something about BIS missions 🙃 but I just noticed that there actually is few comments about the issue @ rhs feedback site, and update is on its way.

[long geyser]

I have the same issues in debian it just crashed with segfault after removing all rhs units from the map it loaded
