If you want to make videos you need to make more controlled scenario where you make the AI do more specific things instead of try to make it happen automatically

[zinc pasture]

I've recently been trying to host a dedicated server rather than just through normal arma hosting. For some reason, the dedicated server only appears on LAN but doesn't appear on the server list. I've tried looking at battlemetrics for the server but it doesn't appear there either.

I believe I've portforwarded correctly but it still only appears on LAN. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[near holly]

well they still do it stand still but once enemy is in range they shoot it i might just use move but i bet guard will work like that to so i couls salvage it but the ones in the pic refused to move ands i gave them a wyapoint

[pine kite]

The universal translator is having a stroke.

[pine kite]

If it doesn't show in the list of server with your public internet IP then something goes wrong in the networking. Something is blocked between your server and Steam. Portforwarding is not correct, or firewall blocks something, or something inbetween you and Steam blocks something. It's hard to diagnose what it is.

The URI in the message linked below can be used to ask Steam if it recognises a server at your IPv4 address. Replace the xxx's: #server_admins message

It will report something. But if it does detect a server the response is longer with more details. Unfortunately I don't have a good detected and not-detected response example because I don't have my server online myself.

[near holly]

byt when enemys are in range the ymove

[pine kite]

Fix your typos.

[near holly]

i got to a spaical school

[pine kite]

Doesn't matter, you can still look at what you wrote and fix if it doesn't look right. Even edit your previous lines.

Most of your spaces are in the wrong place. Easy to fix.

[near holly]

OK

i will do that next time i type

[lime jungle]

hey so my game was crashing like a lot so i watched some youtube video and it was saying that if i put *my arma directory * profiles=Profiles in my startup settings in steam it would stop, it did but when i deleted it i still dont see my scenarios in editor and i cant find the mission file that i would like to add some photos to my new scenario though i cant find the file anywhere. any of you know where i could find my current scenario?

[uncut trellis]

Does it give any error message on crash?

[lime jungle]

sometimes memory acces violation

and sometimes 0x000000000

though this is less inportant i just need to know where to find the scenarios

[uncut trellis]

Scenarios you downloaded or made?

[lime jungle]

made

[uncut trellis]

Access violation errors usually. Mean some sort of system or hardware issue. You can find BI wiki page about common ones with suggestions on what could help.
Scenarios should be inside you profile folder. But if you have altered that through command line, you'll have to trace them according to your changes

[fading pulsar]

Are you using OneDrive backup?

[oblique phoenix]

My friend and I both having issues even launching ArmA, My units are not loading either, weirdly enough also having issues with discord servers, in 2 completely different locations btw, anybody else having trouble launching a3?

[lime jungle]

found it. it was in my F:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Arma 3\Profiles\Users\Brzonki\mpmissions

[native drum]

im having an issue with a mp mission file i made, i have custom respawn location set and i have the module placed at the location i want and the respected attributes selected but when i go to test in in a multiplayer session it spawns me in the corner of the map, have done this on all base game maps and modded and cant figure out what im doing wrong?

[placid pagoda]

I'm having this weird issue where everytime Iaunch the game this weird mash of music and random sound plays in the background and it doesn't stop playing when I jump into the editor or a game

I thought it was a mod issue but the problem persists even when I launch the game with no mods or dlcs

[steady hawk]

Are you sure you load absolutely no Mods?

Have you ever moved a PBO somewhere to somewhere?

[pine kite]

Or do you have a list of mods forced onto the game by the -mod parameter in the launcher parameter list?

[steady hawk]

I don't think that's a case since Main Menu indicates no Mods

[pine kite]

That definitely sounds like a starwars-ish mod that is going along for the ride.

Then something must have inserted a file in the addon folder perhaps.

In my Addon folder I only have files made on 28th february 2023 and 29th August 2022 (the last two update releasedates). See if you have (other) files with different timestamps.

[placid pagoda]

Nope, never messed with the files

[placid pagoda]

I'm not quite sure how I'd resolve that though...

Another thing is if I exit the game before it loads into the main menu, the sounds keep playing and my steam stops responding. The sound only stops after I terminate my steam for some reason

[pine kite]

The thorough method is shutdown Steam, Arma 3 and the launcher. Then delete everything in the Arma 3 install folder and then let steam verify your game install. But that requires downloading the game again. 40GB at least

[placid pagoda]

Aight, will try that

[placid pagoda]

Doesn't seem like it worked

Unfortunately this makes Arma 3 basically unplayable for me since the sound infinitely loops in the background whenever I play

[steady hawk]

How many files do you have in Arma 3\Addons folder?

[placid pagoda]

372 apparently

[steady hawk]

Hm it verifies you have no additional pbos

Well actually, since the sound doesn't stop whenever you change the scene, it does seem to be a third party software

[placid pagoda]

Damn

RIP my arma I guess

[steady hawk]

I don't know if it is worth it to give up. Have you ever moved ANY exe or dll into Arma 3 folder?

[slender owl]

yep

try muting all ingame audio

[placid pagoda]

Tried turning every audio setting in game to zero, did not affect the sounds at all

[placid pagoda]

No, I've only messed with PBO files for mission making, but I don't remember putting exe or dlls into the folder

[slender owl]

assuming you're not running anything in the background thats pretty weird

[golden nova]

do you have Steam overlay enabled for Arma?

[slender owl]

I thought valve got rid of the music player

[placid pagoda]

Yep, although my steam music player is set to 0 as well

[golden nova]

then disable it and start Arma, see if anything changes

[placid pagoda]

Will do

[golden nova]

can try running directly through the exe file rather than by steam

[placid pagoda]

Huh, disabling my steam overlay worked

[steady hawk]

Then... open up the overlay and see if the browser is up

[slender owl]

lmfao

it would've affected other games too then

[placid pagoda]

Okay yeah that's pretty stupid

[steady hawk]

Oh smh

[placid pagoda]

How the hell did this even happen

[placid pagoda]

Nope, only arma...

Lmao thanks though

[golden nova]

ye it's not the first time someone comes with similar issue, only the music changes.

[slender owl]

ah yes new steam ui tracks browser across games

[fringe salmon]

Ive made a server and imported the modpack I want to use. It says that I dont need any mods though?

can anyone help? im using bisect server hosting

[lime jungle]

hey my arma server does not want to get any more ram when it clearly need sit any tips?

with processor the same

[umbral narwhal]

Don't run the 32-bit exe

Even that one usually goes to 3GB though.

I guess if you just started it on a vanilla map with no units...

[pine kite]

I know nothing about bisect hosting. But if you assign them to be loaded as servermods then the clients don't need those. when they infact need them to work. So wrong way of listing them to be loaded.

[fringe salmon]

Ohhh okay?

[pine kite]

It's often -servermod= vs -mod= that gets people confused.

[umbral narwhal]

Curious how you exceed the steam protocol packet size with nothing in -mod though

Maybe it still sends the stuff in -servermod but ignores it.

[pine kite]

It's still, if the server doesn't need the ram, it won't use it. Doesn't matter how much you think it requires.

[umbral narwhal]

(steam protocol packet limit is what causes the "server can't transmit all data")

[fringe salmon]

its not in a server mod thing

[umbral narwhal]

That certainly is too many mods for the steam protocol packet though.

I guess fix that and see what breaks next.

server.cfg, add this:
steamProtocolMaxDataSize = 3072;

actually pow2 doesn't even make sense here

whatever, it's probably enough

You should really get your server working with a shorter modset first.

[pine kite]

with nothing in the beginning ideally.

[sonic moss]

Hi, someone is able to fix error: Unable to init dxgi? 😄

[umbral narwhal]

Is that the first error that shows up when you run Arma or a later one?

[fringe salmon]

Anyone able to help me set up a arma 3 KP liberation on host havoc

[umbral narwhal]

How far did you get?

[fringe salmon]

Not far I uploaded all the Mods from the steam workshop

[umbral narwhal]

First thing you want to do with a server is set up the name & passwords in the server.cfg, start it, and check you can connect, use #login adminpass and #missions

[fringe salmon]

My buddy is trying to join an it still has him loading. I've set the Name and passwords

currently says status " creating"

[umbral narwhal]

Until you select a mission, that's what it'll say.

[fringe salmon]

I put the KP liberation file in on file manager

@umbral narwhal thank you for your help

[wheat scroll]

Got an issue where is editor the name of the faction/country wont show up but the drop down menu is to select the units and then when I go into zeus its just not there at all?

additional info its a custom faction from AliVE

[pallid locust]

hey so i have a problem that when in campaign "east wind" i launch scene "maxwell" it takes me back to first level
what do i do?

[steady hawk]

What do you mean by first level?

[pallid locust]

nvm it was a kind of corruption of data

just restarted

its ok

[wheat scroll]

Anybody know how to fix this?

[uncut trellis]

probably some broken mod

[wheat scroll]

got it working was missing something in one of the files thanks tho

[wispy timber]

how to fix the error code 0x0000dead

[thorn swift]

Dlid you change any launch parameters in the launcher? Are you running any mods?

[umbral narwhal]

0x000dead is a second-level error. You need to quote the first one.

[wispy timber]

no i can play the game fine without mods but as soon as i load modsmy game crashes

[thorn swift]

Then it's time to play Solomon's Deduction. Unload half your mods and check; if it works, you unloaded the bad mod. If it still dies, you unload another half.

[plush orbit]

im having an issue having finished setting up a server and then loading one of my missions onto it. i would list whats wrong but theres too much to count - is there a list of common mission making issues that cause issues only on dedicated servers and not localhosts?

[neon rain]

My friend and i are playing Antistasi Takistan and have been for a while

But since yesterday my server isnt showing up in his friends list all of a sudden

I havent done anything differently

Idk what he has done

What is happening?

[quaint jewel]

Show us the actual error message

[fading pulsar]

You have some unblessed drivers installed. Or a virus

[empty oak]

Hi, i literally just joined this server because im having issues hosting an online game so i can play with my friends.

Before it stopped working a few months ago after an arma update, i used to be able to host a game fine using the upnp option, but now it doesnt. i figured i had to do it manually. however none of the ports i tried worked (2032-2306) and i went so far as to install a shady app to make my server IP static and it worked to be fair, but anyway the server didnt show up either. this whole thing is still new to me but i managed to find out that upnp still works on my router, and it opens the ports on its own once i start hosting, so this must be an arma issue, unless im missing something.

any help would be appreciated

some clarifications:
im using the launcher browser to see if the server shows up or not (it used to work before)
but just incase im also using battlemetrics.com so i can see it there but to no avail

also yes, i am using an ipv4 adress

[fading pulsar]

2302 to 2306 need to be port forwarded as UDP inbound to your local ip. Port 2302 is used to connect to server (these are defaults)

Things to check:

• has your local ip changed?
• has your public ip changed?
• is any other program currently using 2302-2306 ports?
• does your isp allow inbound ports to be open?
• any other device on your network uses same ports, and has them forwarded?

• does your server start? Can you connect to it via 127.0.0.1?

[empty oak]

not so sure about the difference between the local and public IPs, but I did have a dynamic ip which would change every hour, but I managed to make it static (and I checked through the router settings) but other than that IP, every other address that I could check remained the same

no other programs as far as I'm aware are using the ports, i only have chrome, steam and discord open

yes, my isp does allow inbound ports, it always have

no, no other device uses them on my home, i can check through the router settings, its only me

not so sure what the last question means, do you mean direct connection?

and yes, when i tried to set up the port forward I made sure it was UDP for all of them, that didnt do much but its pointless anyway as upnp still works apparently

if by public ip you mean the one that i can simply google then its the same, but the other ip i have that im not allowed to disclose is the one for my device, then yeah that one is static now

[empty oak]

by the way, not sure if this is related, but what is carrier grade NAT and does it affect the process at all?

[umbral narwhal]

Yeah, if you have CGNAT then you can't host without using a p2p VPN like Hamachi or Zerotier.

CGNAT means that there's another NAT layer between your router and the internet which you have no control over, so no port forwarding or UPNP will work.

You can detect it reliably by comparing your internet-visible public IP to the WAN IP of your router.

Or unreliably using tracert to your public IP.

[empty oak]

i tried the tracert method and from what little i managed to understand i think i have it

[umbral narwhal]

Some routers or Windows setups will show 2+ hops to the public IP anyway.

[empty oak]

well from what i could understand isps use cgnat cause of some issues with ipv4, but what is ipv6 and could that help?

[umbral narwhal]

Nah, Arma is IPv4 only.

The trouble is that there aren't enough IPv4 address for everyone, so ISPs save money by not giving you one.

Some ISPs might give you a real IPv4 on request. Most probably won't know what you're talking about.

[empty oak]

i assume my WAN ip has to look the same as my public one

shit, i guess i might have to give them a call.

thank you so much for your help, i've been down this rabbit hole for hours, trying to understand what those acronyms mean.

i might just use hamachi instead too

but i am confused on one thing, i used to be able to host a server no problem before, and i never changed my isp at all. can they apply the cgnat thing overnight and i just missed it? i have no idea how they implement this stuff or how long was it around.

[umbral narwhal]

Yeah, they can apply CGNAT overnight.

Doesn't mean that's what it is though. You should check the router's WAN IP.

[empty oak]

The ip starts with 192.168 which from what ive read means those are cgnat ips or something

[umbral narwhal]

The WAN IP, not the LAN IP?

Consumer routers normally use 192.168.1.x or 192.168.0.x for the internal IP range.

CGNAT is normally 100.x

[empty oak]

its the one i normally use to get to the router settings through chrome

sorry, im a bit of a doofus when it comes to this stuff

yeah, so my internet ip from what i can see in the router settings in the WAN section starts with 10

10.111.x.x

[umbral narwhal]

yeah that's gonna be CGNAT

They're supposed to use 100.x but I've seen 10.x too.

[empty oak]

well thats turkish internet for you

again, thanks for the help, i actually know whats wrong now

[umbral narwhal]

NAT routers have (at least) two IP addresses, one internal and one external.

[empty oak]

i see, yeah i do have two ips, its just that on the router settings there are so many others and it gets confusing

with the lack of a frame of referrence and all that

[umbral narwhal]

Yeah, port forwarding requires a lot of field-specific knowledge, and no other games expect it anymore unless you're running a dedicated server.

[empty oak]

arma is a very come from behind kinda guy

[orchid ferry]

uhh folks i get stuck on like 3-5fps after even a tiny bit of assets being loaded and get tuck at that fps aswell

also textures unload people be T-posing halfway in the ground

aaand it is utterly unplayable

[golden nova]

any mods loaded?

[orchid ferry]

44

so far it worked fine

[golden nova]

well if game runs fine without mods then you know what you gotta do

[orchid ferry]

i mean it worked fine with mods

[golden nova]

but it doesn't work now, so unless Arma does the same in vanilla it's a mod issue

[orchid ferry]

i have a suspicion its a memory leak

altough i dont know how to fix that in arma

[golden nova]

disable broken mods - that is a fix

[orchid ferry]

where does one find the crash logs

[golden nova]

when game crashes you get a window with a button to generate a full crashlog, alternatively look for latest rpt in %LocalAppData%\Arma 3

[fierce moon]

my friend cannot connect to my server because of this

(we both have the same mod list)

it appeared after he changed something is the ace files (it was suggested as a fix on a forum)

our original problem was him connecting, connected, disconnected

[fierce moon]

he's currently deleting them one by one

[pine kite]

That client has those mods that the server doesn't. Or the server doesn't want him to use those.

[oak hamlet]

i boot up my arma and this thing is on the left side

fixed nvm

[neon rain]

Can someone answer my previous question

All of a sudden my friend cant join my servers

They dont show up for some reason

[umbral narwhal]

what's the question?

oh, "what is happening"

Were you using UPNP or port forwarding?

[golden nova]

this is a picture of a screen

error on it means you have a broken mod loaded, dunno what LIB is, probably something for WW2 assets

[steep scroll]

Hey guys, I need some help. My multiplayer mission is not loading on my dedicated server. I can select a role, but after that, it returns me to the mission selection screen. There are no error messages appearing, and I can't find any relevant information in the RPT file. However, my knowledge about reading RPT files is limited, so it would be great if someone could assist me with this issue. RPT: https://pastebin.com/N2Na7Vrj

[golden nova]

4:59:00 Warning Message: You cannot play/edit this mission; it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted.\na3_characters_f

missing or broken arma 3 files server-side I guess.

[pine kite]

Nope, false positive error. Happens in every RPT.

I mean, arma 3 file stuff could still be broken. But not due to that specific error message.

[hollow eagle]

Is it possible that some mods/missions won't work on Linux but will on Windows?

[golden nova]

dunno about missions but mods can

[proven sorrel]

Where do i find custom difficulty settings for my server

[umbral narwhal]

@proven sorrel In the profile, file [profilename].arma3profile

On a fresh server there won't be any custom difficulty settings in there, so you paste them in from the wiki or whatever.

[steep scroll]

Reinstalled server+mods and played a couple of my made missions over the last days.

[orchid ferry]

well it didnt fix nothing

[golden nova]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

have you tried checking if vanilla game has that fps drop too?

because if it doesn't then again, it is a mod issue.

[orchid ferry]

i mean disabling mods didnt fix nothing

the moment i have to load 6 enemy infantry my fps tanks to 4

[golden nova]

do you have any custom parameters set in Launcher?

[orchid ferry]

yeah

[golden nova]

try running game without custom parameter is you haven't done that yet

[orchid ferry]

its basically just how much ram, vram its allowed to use

[umbral narwhal]

Yeah, don't set any of that if you're having performance problems.

[paper silo]

for some reason when I have my mods loaded I cant run the game bc of this

[umbral narwhal]

Well, it does tell you why.

acre_sys_signal is from ACRE2. God knows what the other one is.

"ew" is probably electronic warfare

[brave dome]

I have an exile with drones, does anyone know why I can't open my action menu to open the UAV terminal? Is it a different hotkey or something in Exile?

I do definitely have the right terminal for the drone too, I just can't open it at all

[brave dome]

It doesn't matter which terminal I have, I can't open the action menu to open it

[umbral narwhal]

I think to see that action you have to be side-matched to the terminal?

[brave dome]

Just to make sure we're in the same place sorry, I can't open the action menu at all in exile, what do you mean by side-matched sorry?

[umbral narwhal]

There are three terminals, right. One for each side.

greenfor/blufor/opfor

[brave dome]

Yeah, I have the correct terminal, however I've tried it with each and I cannot open the action menu to open the UAV terminal at all, even using the wrong one. Again, I'm on an Exile server, so I'm not sure if that interferes with it, but unless I'm near a vehicle or crate I can't open the action menu at all

[umbral narwhal]

Maybe something Exile-specific then. That's not vanilla behaviour.

[brave dome]

Yeah, I figured as much, with the same mods in editor I can open it, it's just on the server that I can't. I was wondering if anyone here has been on/ran an exile server or had a similar experience and knew a fix was all, google is turning up diddly squat lol

[shell tulip]

Hey there everyone, I keep having the same issue this guy is having.
https://www.reddit.com/r/arma/comments/9ycaer/arma_3_black_screen_fix_help/

Mine seems a little different though

and its hard to explain

[umbral narwhal]

You would have to explain the difference, otherwise you're not going to get any appropriate help.

[shell tulip]

@umbral narwhal

This is the best way to explain it

It keeps the loading screen

but it loads into the game

(thats me in the arsenal)

[umbral narwhal]

oh, seen that before.

Don't remember if there was a solution.

Does that flicker or is the junk in the background completely static?

[stone verge]

Hey! Has anyone encountered the camera not moving in the Eden editor when playing an scenario?

For example its stuck on the screenshot cam and it shows in the axis the camera is moving but is stuck in one position/

[weary sky]

That usually happens when you don't have a playable character in the mission

[shell tulip]

flickers

well

let me elaborate

the actually arsenal part flickers

[stone verge]

Interesting. I swear it worked before without a playable character LOL! Unless I am absolutely wrong.

[shell tulip]

but the loading screen stays static

[shell tulip]

Sadly no

[stone verge]

Huh, dang.. Thanks for the help my friend 🙂

[umbral narwhal]

@shell tulip Well, it's expected behaviour if it's setting up the buffer chain but not rendering anything 3D.

[shell tulip]

Updated my drivers

[umbral narwhal]

what's your GPU?

[shell tulip]

testingnow-

AMD RX560

its been working for months

I have ~750 hours using this GPU

[umbral narwhal]

Do any other DX11 games work?

(or not work)

[shell tulip]

Yea

Could it be mods?

because I have 2 modpacks:
1 modpack that works
1 modpack that doesn't

but we haven't figured out what mod it is that fucks everything up

[umbral narwhal]

First thing you do for any Arma problem is try running vanilla...

In this case, no mods, default startup parameters and standard-preset display settings.

I kinda figured if someone had no display at all they'd have tried that much at least.

[neon rain]

I usually always do

I make my server name

Set it to Internet and not LAN

i set my password

Turn on UPNP

and he always joins no problem

For some reason lately it hasnt been showing up for him

And he tried hosting it and i couldnt see his

[umbral narwhal]

Possibilities:

1. ISP switched you to CGNAT.
2. Router automatic update disabled UPNP.
3. Windows network settings changed (eg switched from home to public network type).

[abstract hollow]

Hey guys! Ive set up a server for a friend and I, and Ive done everything correctly except it says its full. Its always stuck at 1/1 players max

[honest imp]

[umbral narwhal]

and you don't have maxPlayers=1 in server.cfg?

[neon rain]

How would i fix it?

Or my friend

[shell tulip]

I have

must be something with the mods im using

(im handpicking to see if I can find a solution)

[gentle owl]

Weird thing.

My wife is trying to join the same Arma server as me and when they join, it red-chains me into disconnection. We're in the same house on different Steam accounts, not game-share or anything like that. Has anyone even heard of something like this before?

[umbral narwhal]

hmm. I wonder what Arma uses as the source port...

Well, that's pretty sus:

  UDP    0.0.0.0:2316           *:*
 [Arma3_x64.exe]

[quaint jewel]

Ah mh.. I wanted to fix that once, apparently didn't do it.
Or maybe I only fixed something about that on serverside. But I know about that problem with hardcoded-ish source port

[umbral narwhal]

I'd have thought that NAT routers were supposed to remap if multiple clients were using the same source port, but maybe that's not universal.

thinks

Imagine CGNAT :P

Ah, it does obey -port, even as client.

@gentle owl Try setting -port to something else in parameters on one of the clients, like 2400.

[gentle owl]

I shall do so! Soon, wifes

[spare wraith]

Warning Message: Addon 'CUP_Terrains_ACE_compat' requires addon 'ace_refuel'
anyone knows what this means?
I'm using host havoc.

[ocean cosmos]

you need ace

[spare wraith]

I have it

[ocean cosmos]

check your commandline, its not loaded properly

[spare wraith]

Im confused, because its there. both ace and the compat are there

[pine kite]

You may have something in the command line. But that does not mean the server/client understands it. Check the RPT log file if it actually found something for it.

[umbral narwhal]

People often add errors like putting extra spaces in the mod line.

And then the mod line specification and mod installation are often separate, so there's a lot of room for error.

[spare wraith]

this is the RPT file

[pine kite]

It should be longer than that.

[umbral narwhal]

It's bailing out before the mod table because it of the broken dependency.

looks like a "far too many mods for a newbie server" case anyway.

But if you paste your mod line then someone can probably spot the errors.

[pine kite]

Yeah, my usual reply: Start from scratch if you don't know how to set up servers. Only a basic mission, with no mods. Then add one mod. Test if that shows up and works as it should. Then consider adding the next one.

Host havoc auto did it

[umbral narwhal]

jesus christ

I wonder why it generated so many double-loads.

Strip it down to CBA_A3, ACE, CUP terrains core + maps and the terrains ACE compat and see if that has the same problem.

If it does then ACE isn't installed properly on the server.

If it doesn't then there's something horrible going on.

[pine kite]

Sure, blame host havoc for it. You selected the mods.

[weary sky]

not to mention the client-side mods being loaded on the server...

[rancid ice]

I normally use keyboard and mouse to operate vehicles and helicopters. my mouse no longer controls vehicles or helis and seems to be stuck in a free look. I have tapped and double tapped ALT to get out of free look but it doesnt help. I have restored controls to default and still no luck.... ANy Ideas ???

[restive sequoia]

restart the game

[rancid ice]

still does not work

[steady hawk]

IIRC there is a game option to force set free look in vehicle

[mental river]

Yeah there is

[blazing cove]

How can I change my player name?

[steady hawk]

Main Menu > Profile (top right) > Create New

[blazing cove]

Wont that remove my loadouts?

[steady hawk]

Yes. But you can simply copy and paste the data

[blazing cove]

Oh fr?

Ok hang on

[reef dock]

Hi. I'm looking for help with setting up a personal LAN game. Is this the right place to aske?

*ask. No idea where that 'e' came from.

[steady hawk]

Maybe, maybe not. What's the issue?
ps: you can always edit your post

[blazing cove]

Ok how do I copy paste my data

[steady hawk]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Profile

My Documents\Arma 3\ <- where your default folder is
My Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles\ProfileName\ <- your newly made one is

[reef dock]

I've tried starting a LAN server from the in-game browser but it doesn't show up in the list on my son's computer. I've opened the ports, tried Radmin, and TADST. Still no go.

Do I need the dedicated server from this page: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Dedicated_Server#Arma3server_steamcmd_example.cmd ?

[umbral narwhal]

It won't help.

LAN server is the same thing from a network connectivity perspective.

Port forwarding is just hard to get right, and impossible if you're on CGNAT, which a lot of people are these days.

[blazing cove]

Eh ill just stick w my one

Unless I just redo everything lmao

[steady hawk]

?

[reef dock]

Yeah, port forwarding with my new router looks different than what I've seen before.

[steady hawk]

I don't even think port forward is a thing for LAN server

[reef dock]

WIth my old Netgear router, all I had to do was type the port numbers, select which protocol, and it was good to go. Now I've got Verizon home internet and it has more options.

[umbral narwhal]

Is your son's computer on the same network or elsewhere?

[reef dock]

The server doesn't show up with or without port forwarding. And yes, his PC is on the same wifi network.

[umbral narwhal]

The port forwarding doesn't matter then. That's only for external connections.

[reef dock]

I've also tried direct IP connect with no luck.

[umbral narwhal]

Check the firewall.

[steady hawk]

Well... just in case, does your son checks the server browser and its LAN tab not Internet?

[umbral narwhal]

looking for Arma_x64.exe.

[reef dock]

Aye. LAN, Internet, and Friends tabs.

[umbral narwhal]

Direct connect to internal IP should work anyway. Only thing that can block that is the firewall.

[steady hawk]

Not even sure what is so hard for you

[reef dock]

It looks like the .exe is allowed through the firewall.

[umbral narwhal]

Can you sanity-check that the internal IPs of the two PCs are on the same subnet?

[reef dock]

Windows firewall is off, using Avast instead.

How would I check the subnet? Ipconfig on both PCs?

[umbral narwhal]

yes

Also make sure that neither machine is running a VPN

[reef dock]

No VPN, just router.

IPV4 subnet mask is the same on both PCs.

[umbral narwhal]

You need to check the IP too.

Like if subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 then the first three chunks of the IP need to be the same.

Some routers use multiple separate internal networks for different groups of clients these days. That's why I ask.

[reef dock]

Looks liek we're getting somewhere. My (host) PC's IP starts with 26.x while his starts with 192.x.

[blazing cove]

Ill just redo my loadouts

[steady hawk]

It is literally copy and paste

Just get to the folder I said

[umbral narwhal]

well, copy and paste and rename...

[steady hawk]

True, but yeah...

[umbral narwhal]

Lots of people these days don't know how to use a file manager though.

mobile phone disease

[umbral narwhal]

26.x isn't a reserved address range so I'm not sure how that's possible.

[reef dock]

Sorry, I was looking at Radmin's address. Derp. My actual IPv4 is 192.168.1.x and his is 192.168.42.x

[umbral narwhal]

ok, different subnets.

Gonna guess that one of you is connected to some sort of guest or #2 wireless.

[reef dock]

My PC is connected with ethernet cable, his is on wifi. Does that matter?

[umbral narwhal]

Yes and no.

One of the wifi networks would normally be the same subnet as the ethernet.

Although that might be configurable.

A "guest" wifi network would certainly be a different subnet from the ethernet. That's the point of it.

[reef dock]

As far as I know, he's not on a guest network. I did set a static IP, as per the tutorials on Google/Youtube.

[umbral narwhal]

On the host?

[reef dock]

Aye.

[umbral narwhal]

Sanity-check that the gateway IP has the same first three chunks as the IP on both PCs.

[reef dock]

Sorry, GF interrupted. My default gateway is 192.168.1.x, his is 192.168.42.x

[umbral narwhal]

You'll have to look at your router's wifi settings and see if there's some sort of network separation setting.

[reef dock]

Would that have anything to do with 'IPv4 Address Distribution'?

[umbral narwhal]

maybe

[reef dock]

Am I correct in guessing that the 3rd set of numbers in the IP address is the subnet?

I'm wondering if I can set a static IP on his PC to get them on the same page. Or is that going to cause other problems?

[umbral narwhal]

Not workable. It's intentionally assigning a different subnet to that wifi network.

You can't change that from the client.

What's the router model btw?

[reef dock]

Odd thing is, everything else on the network has 192.168.1.x, including the USB tether his PC is using because it doesn't have an onboard wifi receive. It's only the PC that's 192.168.42.x.

[umbral narwhal]

uh

You're probably misreading stuff then.

[reef dock]

Don't see manufacturer or model name, just Verizon Internet Gateway, then the usual serial numbers, factory password, etc.

[umbral narwhal]

ipconfig may return multiple address and you have to figure out the right one.

Because PCs have multiple network adapters, some virtual, some real.

[reef dock]

It's possible that I'm misreading, but the info is coming from the same section of command prompt > ipconfig /all on both PCs.

[umbral narwhal]

I have no idea what you mean by the USB tether having an 192.168.1.x IP

If you're using a USB wifi adapter then the IP of that adapter is the IP that matters and is the same one visible in ipconfig.

[reef dock]

The USB tether, which is my old cellphone, shows up in the connection list on the router admin page with IP 192.168.1.x, but ipconfig on that PC shows the address as 192.168.42.x. I'm wondering if the tether is screwing around with the subnet.

[umbral narwhal]

Sounds like your cellphone is acting as a NAT.

[reef dock]

Yeah, that was it. Makes no sense to me, but when I switched receivers to a standard USB dongle, address shows as 192.168.1.x. Problem is, the only ones I have right now are unreliable. Guess I''ll have to get another one.

[umbral narwhal]

In that case it should still be possible to connect to the host PC with direct IP connect though.

The lists won't work because they rely on subnet broadcast.

[reef dock]

I'm about to try again, if the dongle will keep working long enough.

[umbral narwhal]

USB wifi dongle doesn't need to be a device on the network. It's just a bridge to the PC. Phone can access the internet itself, so it needs a different address from the tethered devices, which is does by acting as a router. Hence the extra subnet.

[reef dock]

That was the problem. Server showed up on the list with no problem. Now I just have to find a decent dongle that won't overheat and die. The ones I had were the cheapest available on ebay, so you can imagine the quality.

Thanks for all your help. I really appreciate it. D***** Jim, I'm an artist, not an IT guy!

I'm not very familiar with Discord. Does it have a point system or 'karma', like Reddit?

[steady hawk]

Nnnope. But you can thank him, that's how it works 😄

Already did that. Just wasn't sure if there was more to it. Some forums and stuff have reputation, points, etc.

[umbral narwhal]

I had someone thank me once by buying discord nitro. Don't do that :P

do you own sogpf?

do you have the compatibility mod loaded?

In the Arma 3 Publisher, does is say "all signed" at 'Signatures' after selecting the directory?

[lime relic]

Not on my pc atm but it showed it was signed in mod launcher

[umbral narwhal]

Downloaded and checked. "all signed", structure looks fine.

(first one, not doing both)

[lime relic]

I don't get why they're commenting their servers give a popup that it isn't signed though. I'll check to see if GOM originally signed and bikey'd his original version and maybe just transfer them into this mod.

[umbral narwhal]

Have you tried it with a DS yourself?

[lime relic]

DS?

[umbral narwhal]

dedicated server

[lime relic]

Nope. I only lan host and I don't get popups.

[umbral narwhal]

localhost doesn't seem to care about signing.

[lime relic]

Battle eye is disabled for me as well.

Yeah

[umbral narwhal]

Tested, really doesn't work :P

Comes up green in the launcher though. I guess the bisign doesn't match the bikey.

[lime relic]

Anyone got an updated "how to sign and key mod" tutorial? Maybe gunthar's one is outdated.

I don't get how the key and sign are mis matching

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”

[ocean cosmos]

for myself, ignore

[upbeat spire]

You have Ace loaded and you are wearing a blindfold.

[uncut trellis]

[lime relic]

What's the time stamp in gunthars guide to make sure it matches. I swear I made sure the keys and sign matched and verified green and got the right addresses though.

[umbral narwhal]

No idea, not watching an 8min youtube video. There are basically two steps: 1. Generate keys. 2. Use key to sign PBOs.

keys are two-part, right. There's a private key that you use to sign, and a public key that goes in the mod's keys folder.

Having trouble with RHS MELB little bird pilot and copilot positions. The green RHS little bird is fine

[golden nova]

do you have any other mods loaded?

[steady hawk]

Seems like an AnimDataCache issue

[woeful sail]

The best way I can describe my issue is that I have ghost music audio happening. I have audio that constantly plays even after I turned all audio in game to zero no matter the menu and even in editor. Before posting this I have unsubscribed from all mods, uninstalled the game then reinstalled, deleted all my files and verified them to check for corruption as well as deleted my profiles and the issue persists. If anyone has a suggestion please let me know I also have a recording I took in OBS of the problem.

[lime sphinx]

inb4 it's Steam overlay playing some trailer in background (again)

[woeful sail]

Holy fuck that was it! I hate this new overlay update. You are my hero.

It was playing 3 tabs worth of trailers on top of each other and I had no clue it could even do that

[golden nova]

i think that this steam overlay thing should be pinned

[steady hawk]

Yeah you're third one who suffers from this I've ever seen

[golden nova]

and it's only this month, I've seen people coming with similar issues here from time to time for at least few months

[woeful sail]

Yeah a pin would have been a life saver! I've got a decent amount of time in this game so I tried all I knew before asking just for steam to be the culprit

[fringe salmon]

If only steam overlay still had music

[slender owl]

i mean you can go back to the old ui if you want

[languid merlin]

So im making a mission and everything is working triggers extra,now all of sudden my interact menu wont work and i need it for completing a laptop interaction for intel. Strange thing is i use a different character the menu works again. Why is this happening and is there a fix for this,spent hours on this mission?

[steady hawk]

What is “interact menu”?

[languid merlin]

When you see icon to to open doors or interact with objects

[steady hawk]

Do you mean “Action Menu” from vanilla, or ACE?

[languid merlin]

No ace

[steady hawk]

Do you mean you don't use ACE or do you?

[languid merlin]

Im using arma remaster mod

[steady hawk]

I don't even know what it is

[languid merlin]

I dont use ace

Arma remaster is a mod that gives you all best mods out

[steady hawk]

Sounds very fishy

[languid merlin]

Its on steam

[steady hawk]

It doesn't matter

Well so, you don't see the Action Menu from the certain unit?

[languid merlin]

So when i go to open a door the icon is not displayed

Or for a laptop in my case for my mission

https://youtu.be/XQcojDwBveY

[steady hawk]

Are you sure it is not a Mod issue or scripts you prepared?

[languid merlin]

So when i use a new character this issue doesn't happen

Thats whats weird

[steady hawk]

What is a new character? An unit you've just placed and it doesn't happen?

[languid merlin]

Yes

Unit

[steady hawk]

Does the unit with the issue, has no Action Menu like at all?

[languid merlin]

Its works then it doesn't work

[steady hawk]

Which?

It works when? It doesn't work when?

[languid merlin]

When i play my mission the door icon will work one time then if i go back after editing it will not work

Then i decided to put a new unit down and it works must be a bug

[steady hawk]

What scripts you've edited since then?

[languid merlin]

See the door icon

Thats what im talking about

[steady hawk]

I know

[languid merlin]

Ok

Any idea why this works one time and not other

[steady hawk]

Answer me

[languid merlin]

No scripts

[steady hawk]

Are you 100% Sure?

[languid merlin]

I use lambs danger

[steady hawk]

I wanted you to answer what things you've done in the mission

[golden nova]

if you have a problem with a mod preset or whatever @burnt imp is advertising then why don't you just ask him?

I've been told that the best answers you always get from the first hand

[languid merlin]

Ok sorry

[golden nova]

in the video you linked there should be a link to his Discord server

[languid merlin]

Ok

[steady hawk]

It is not necessary to be a Mod issue but anyways

[languid merlin]

Ok thanks for your help anyway

I wonder if its the terrain

[steady hawk]

?

[languid merlin]

Its naffa

Snow map

[golden nova]

you mean Napf

[steady hawk]

A terrain does nothing to do with the scripts (usually)

At least I wanted to ask what you've done with addAction

[golden nova]

terrains shouldn't affect scripts, I used it before and haven't had any issue like this. So I guess there is something in the mod preset you're using that messes the actions. Easiest and fastest way to check it would be remaking the same mission with no mods except the terrain, laptop and scripts are vanilla

if it works than it's the preset issue, then you can either unload mods one by one until it starts working again or jump into nanner's Discord and troubleshoot it with him

[languid merlin]

Ok

[golden nova]

I also recommend making missions with as minimal amount of mods as possible, most of these (that do not add any assets) can be loaded afterwards, some "client-side" mods can break your missions or create some weird dependencies that do not let you replay scenarios or a bunch of different stuff.

[languid merlin]

Ok thank u

I spent hrs on this crap

[steady hawk]

?

[burnt imp]

To me, it sounds like you grabbed The Immersion RDLC without using my profile and addon options.

Though, its difficult to tell without a video showing your problem and your modlist

[languid merlin]

im using you profile cause my profile says nanner @burnt imp

But I trimmed some of the mods cause arma doesnt run well with 200 some mods

[languid merlin]

I found the issue it was the mod that allows you to Fluid/incremental door opening https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=281074849&searchtext=open+door

[calm mesa]

Anyone know a fix to this?

I've deleted the file but now it's asking me to pretty much delete more

[uncut trellis]

use launchers server browser to join servers so it sets up mods for you

so you dont have to wonder if you have right mods

(and dont install manual mods into armas folders so they always run and dont forget adding stuff on the command line so mods can sneak in)

[lime relic]

Can I have multiple individual private keys for signing different mods? Or only one should be used?

I'm stumped to why my mods' keys won't work and give an error for "keys required" on dedicated servers. I've followed Gunthar's guide 4 times already doing step by step but apparently my keys are mistmatched or whatever is happening even though I've went through dstools just fine and signed them.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2989820593

[umbral narwhal]

You absolutely should use a different key for each mod.

Otherwise server administrators have to either allow all your mods or deny them all. Which means deny :P

[lime relic]

I don't know what I'm doing wrong then to why it's still becoming mismatched.

Is it possible for someone else to sign my mod and make the keys? Could be some file blocker from Microsoft causing the issue I'm having. https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/180954-bisignbikey-not-passing-signature-verification/

Anyway I've unsigned and removed keys from both my gom mods. Would appreciate if someone could make the keys and sign for me because its just broken on my end.

Maybe that'll work out.

[umbral narwhal]

hmm, the signature check thing in DSUtils doesn't seem to work.

[lime sphinx]

huh?

[lime relic]

Huh that thing worked for me. Shows no error when I sig checked.

[umbral narwhal]

It passes on this mod that fails in actual server/client.

[lime relic]

I don't get it.

[umbral narwhal]

Me neither :P

If you feed it a completely different key then it does fail at least.

[lime relic]

Yeah. Also does the tip you gave me to" Replace lines 12-14 with private _activator = _object;" for my mod cause any error maybe? I dunno what private does but maybe it breaks the sign I dunno.

[lime sphinx]

can confirm

[lime relic]

Also is config.cpp required for all addons? I don't think I've made those in my mods.

[umbral narwhal]

You have to re-sign all your PBOs each time they change, in case that wasn't obvious.

[lime relic]

Yeah I've done that after my initial attempts. No luck.

[umbral narwhal]

Otherwise it shouldn't matter what's in them. It's just binary signing.

[golden nova]

what are you using to pack/build your mod?

[lime relic]

Pbo manager

Same one I used since ofp

[golden nova]

you have your answer

[lime relic]

Is that bad?

[golden nova]

yes, pbo manager does not show errors.

[lime relic]

I'm supposed to use addon manager then from arma 3 tools?

[golden nova]

even if it packs and runs successfully there can be something that breaks the key verification. i had that with my mods, I switched to mikero tools.

can be addon builder from tools, can be mikero

[lime relic]

Oh

[golden nova]

anything that will output warnings and errors

[lime relic]

Alright I'll give them a shot later. Which is better?

I'm so used to pbo manager to unpack and pack that didn't cross my mind it would break anything.

[golden nova]

also when you re-signed your mods, did you have the "override signatures" option checked?

[lime relic]

nope but I tried that in one of my attempts and it still didn't work

[golden nova]

I use it too but only for internal testing when I don't need anything but the pbo files. Dunno which one is better to be honest, mikero tools are constatnly updated, addon builder just works

you can try both if one option still does not make a difference but I am certain both should generate a log during the packing process. Mikero tools might have more options

[lime relic]

Following gunthar's guide https://youtu.be/iq4iJOmz8s4
But he mentions only to use it after already having signatures hm.

I'll try add-on builder first though if it fixes anything.

[umbral narwhal]

Not sure why the packer would matter as long as you don't change the PBO afterwards. Signing the file just generates the bisign. It doesn't modify the PBO.

tries something dumb

[golden nova]

With my uniform expansion mod I had to rebuild the mod to make these keys work. Never digged deep enough to see why would that matter.

but I was in similar situation and it worked, hence my proposition 😛

[umbral narwhal]

I don't normally use DSutils for signing either so that thing could be generally busted for all I know.

[lime relic]

What's your other method to sign?

I thought dsutils was the only way

[umbral narwhal]

Running addon builder in a shitty batch script.

[lime relic]

Oh addon builder can sign too?

I guess I should just use that then

[umbral narwhal]

Yeah you just stick -sign keyfile on the command line.

[lime relic]

Does it give bikeys as well?

[umbral narwhal]

No, you still make those with DSUtils.

[lime relic]

Damn.

I'll try add-on builder to pack and sign then only use dsutils for making keys. Maybe that'll fix it and its either dsutils signing is busted or pbo manager is busted.

Thanks. Will give it a go later.

[patent kettle]

DSUtils is bad as it does not check everything the game does.

Use this: https://github.com/BrettMayson/bisign

For the game stuff like the order of files in PBO can matter so if you pack with some bad tools the signatures won't work for you.

[lime relic]

Ooo

Ok I'll use that then

[patent kettle]

While the DSUtils will say it's ok as it does not inspect the PBO.

I recommend HEMTT for addon building:
https://brettmayson.github.io/HEMTT/

[umbral narwhal]

Verification Failed: PBO is missing a prefix header
Verification Failed: Invalid file sorting

yep, that works

So yeah, apparently there are extra rules for signed PBOs other than the signature.

[lime relic]

Prefix header?

Invalid file sorting huh

[patent kettle]

tl;dr: use proper tools for packing your addons

[lime relic]

🗿👍

No more dsutils and pbo manager for add-on publishing then.

[golden nova]

this is the way

[patent kettle]

hemtt release is da way

[lime relic]

I'm sure others are having this issue rn so maybe a new tutorial is needed over gunters

[golden nova]

Gunther makes videos almost every day, if you bother him a little he may release an updated one on this topic

[lime relic]

Nice. Kinda expected him to be on this server tho. I'll try and message him.

[patent kettle]

@gunterseverloh

[golden nova]

he's the grumpy old person sticking to the Forums I reckon

[lime relic]

@cosmic plover oh

He is here.

Ok hope he makes a new tutorial add-on builder video 2023.

[umbral narwhal]

Well, DSUtils itself is probably generating the signature files correctly. Just not much point using it for that, given that every known-working verified PBO packer has signing built in :P

[lime relic]

Can't wait to use these tools and fix this issue. Thanks for the help guys.

[umbral narwhal]

I'm not sure any of them have the sort of UI that works for a five-minute youtube video. Normally you set up a batch script to build your mod.

Addon builder's UI is awful for more than one PBO due to the prefix config.

[odd ore]

In fallujah 2.0 my sky looks messed up like this

[uncut trellis]

could be its lighting config is broken

maybe you got some old version thats not upgraded to new lighting

for mod stuff you generally need to reach out to mod maker

[odd ore]

ok thank you

[golden nova]

"Country not whitelisted"

try going abroad

[uncut trellis]

use other server

[golden nova]

then he banned you

[lime relic]

Huh I actually only use one pbo in my mods so this should be no problem.

I'll try with addon builder first then because batch script is foreign to me. Hemtt looks a bit complicated too.

[native palm]

so, how can I remove it

[upbeat spire]

remove the blindfold.

[lime relic]

damn why do i gotta buy a license to use mikero tools. guess ill just addon builder then

[ocean nacelle]

Tried removing each

[umbral narwhal]

Remove all your mods.

[golden nova]

You don't, it's required only for eliteness and some certain software. Mod making tools are free

[lime relic]

which mikero tool is for signing and key making

[steady hawk]

pboProject and its related dll/exes

If you're in doubt use all in one

[lime relic]

👍

o its polpox

[lime relic]

mikero tools pboproject has a confusing gui.

[golden nova]

in the end you will have to deconfuse yourself with either of the builders anyway. Or distribute mods without keys

[lime relic]

i just wanna sign my mod and get proper keys and be done with it.

I mean my mod works just fine but whenever I "crunch" with pboproject is throws errors and refuses.

Can mods without keys still be used on dedicated servers?

[golden nova]

it means it doesn't work fine then, a properly made mod will pack with no errors

[steady hawk]

Yes but this means you need to accept any Mods

[golden nova]

not necesarily, you still can limit the available mods without keys iirc. Never done this by hand but FASTER allows that

We never used keys on my unit's server

[lime relic]

Man this is a whole lotta headache. I'll just pbomanager (the newest version- apparently the author made a new version and the old one I used for OFP is deprecated) and follow guntar's guide again. If it works- then the problems I had with keys and signing was because I've used an old outdated packer. If not- I give up. https://github.com/winseros/pboman3

Factory reset my pc

😭

[sullen elk]

Hey i've tried looking everywhere but cant find a solution to fix it, trying to fix an issue where i'm unable to import any preset, i've verified cache, reinstalled it and even reset my PC and nothing's fixing. Help would be fantastic

[fallen vortex]

Damn… I tried one step below that which was completely reinstalling steam… I’ll have to consider it…

[fallen vortex]

This is a consistent issue that I think more and more players are seeing. The only solution I’ve seen someone says works is a factory reset of your pc. Otherwise you have to manually load and unload the mods you want.

I just hope that the developers and or someone from the team is aware of this issue because it is a pain to deal with. I’d be willing to send any files relating to arma to see if there’s a fix

[umbral narwhal]

@fallen vortex How many presets do you have?

[fallen vortex]

Not many, in fact I just lost all of mine as I reinstalled steam seeing if it would help. Now through manually loading mods and saving them as a preset I have 2. Unless you mean downloaded html files. I have tons of preset downloads

[restive shuttle]

i keep getting battle eye issue of query or timeout

it just started happening today

[restive shuttle]

also client non responsive

[stable patrol]

somthing like a intro music plays when i enter a mach, and it repeats infinite. someone know how to fix it?

[uncut trellis]

probably mods

or actually you got videos playing in steam overlay @stable patrol

[stable patrol]

no

[stable patrol]

so you mean the steam overlay automatically plays a video when i launch arma?

[uncut trellis]

possibly yes

it does weird stuff now I hear

or the server is broken or your mods are

[stable patrol]

i dont have mods, but the overlay thing seems to work!

thank you

@quaint jewel

Nevermind I’ve got it 👌🏻

[rough vortex]

im trying to get us a host havoc dedicated server w mods but when i try to direct connect to the server nothing happens. i looked through the log and the first thing i noticed that ringed bells is that it said that the steamAPI initialisation failed

[pine kite]

Nope, probably a false positive. Many servers if not all start with that.

If nothing happens then there is probably no scenario running yet. Log in as admin through the chat box. #login youradminpassword
then
#missions

[rough vortex]

i have a template for the server to load but i cant even join the server

or see it

[fleet condor]

My game has been crashing suddenly, tried reinstalling, validating integrity of files

0xC0000005- Status access violation

[golden nova]

I see you're playing with USB headset, does your game crash if you unplug it? It's a known issue and if it is your case too then there's a solution in pinned messages.

and get rid of jsrs for tests.

[quaint jewel]

That known issue is fixed on next #perf_prof_branch

I'll check shortly if this was it

[pine kite]

Then you'll have to ask your server hoster (host havoc) what is going on. Maybe it crashed, deliberatly shut down for reasons. Check log files if you didn't disable that.

[rough vortex]

thanks man, ive been on thier server for a bit and were working on it. im prolly just going to host without mods then add tehn in slowly

[topaz iris]

Hey, i have a problem. when i unsubscribe from a mod in the launcher or when i start up arma via the launcher. i hear a sound playing, with music and gun shots.

How do i fix this?

[steady hawk]

Shift+Tab to open Steam Browser, remove music there

[topaz iris]

Thanks

[fleet condor]

Ty

[lime relic]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2989820593 still no luck with getting keys and sign to proper work with my mod. I guess GOM wasn't able to upload a mod version afterall because of the key+sig issue he might've had.

tried makepbo and it throws a lot of errors when trying to pack and sign it so it's probably a big no go.

at least the mod works in sp and probably local hosted

for a mod to work on a dedicated server, does it have to have a key and signature? or can it just be whitelisted and good to go

[umbral narwhal]

With verifySignatures=2 you need key & signature. There's no whitelisting.

With verifySignatures=0 anyone can connect with anything.

[lime relic]

guess it's on the dedicated server owners to do that then

[umbral narwhal]

just use addonbuilder with a batch file tbh.

An example:

set builderpath="C:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3 Tools\AddonBuilder\AddonBuilder.exe"
set keypath="C:\mykeys\GOM.biprivatekey"

%builderpath% "%CD%\source\addons\GOMALA" "%CD%\build\@GOM\addons" -sign=%keypath% -prefix=x\GOM\addons\GOMALA

[lime relic]

could you give the keys and signatures for me

[umbral narwhal]

You already have keys. That script does the signing if you feed it with the path.

[quaint jewel]

Don't use pbo manager for mods.
Or you'll get exactly what you're getting.
Use Arma 3 tools

Not the signing is the problem, the pbos are packed wrong

[lime relic]

huh ill give that a try then

oh right I get this

[golden nova]

that's what I've been saying before, it's pbo manager not giving you any error log. All other packers we suggested do that

[lime relic]

eh it's not like I'm able to fix those errors. I don't think I can.

I'll just leave it be. If mod works it works.

[golden nova]

mods?

[ocean cosmos]

but it doesnt.

[molten hull]

anyone know why no one can join my game i hosted the other day and ppl could join fine and now i go try and host today and no one can see my game and yes my firewall stuff is on

i tick the box for UPNP

[ancient kestrel]

I cannot open the editor while in a mission

I was told it is called Zeus

[uncut trellis]

Zeus Is not enabled by default. It's a special setup

Normally you would not really use it.

[regal sorrel]

Hello! Can you please help me? I'm trying to run a mission on my server, but it throws a bunch of errors. Please help, it MEANS A LOT TO ME

[quaint jewel]

Removethis mod
@SUNRISERP
Do you know who made that?

[regal sorrel]

Yep

[quaint jewel]

That mod contains a ton of illegally uploaded content

[regal sorrel]

Really?

I can give a link to this mod in the Workshop

[quaint jewel]

the link is in the file

[regal sorrel]

🙂

All I need from this mod is a map. It was in the public domain.

The developer gave permission for its use to everyone

The map is called Alpha Zone

[quaint jewel]

But the developers who's mods were illegally uploaded in that workshop item didn't give their permission

(I am one of them)

If I see right that also contains ripped content from escape from tarkov

yeah get rid of that mod and sta far away from it

[regal sorrel]

No problem! If there were working links to AlphaZone, I wouldn't use this mod

[regal sorrel]

I remove him right now

[regal sorrel]

But can you help with my problem?

[quaint jewel]

When you stop loading that mod, your errors will go away

[regal sorrel]

We are even willing to pay. The price is yours. We've been doing this for 6 years 😦

[regal sorrel]

But where can I get a map if all the links are outdated?

[quaint jewel]

Well not being able to get something, is an option

You have the mission file right?

Check the mission file, check what mods it needs (just opening it in eden editor should show you) and then load these specific mods, from their official workshop uploads, separately

[regal sorrel]

Thanks! I'll check it out right now

it wont allow me to verify its integrity

You can go to Arma folder, there into "Addons" folder, and delete the structures_f files.
Then verify again, it'll redownload them

[dense quest]

thats a little late becuase ive just deleted and am redownloading arma again lol

also I dont see any addons folder

I also dont see structures_f now that I think of it

[steady hawk]

Because you're redownloading?

Is there any mods for Arma 3 that stop Ai from walking through walking through walls? I spent about 3 days building a mission and learning coding just for them to ruin my mission walking through walls like Casper the ghost.

Like whats the point in making missions and or playing the game and the Ai just going to ignore the walls and phase through them and ruin hrs of mission making in a single play through?

[smoky fjord]

Whenever i start the game i see this message 'Addon AiA_Core' requires addon 'LoadAfterA3Data_C_Pvpscene'

And i can't play my saves in campaigns

help pls

[smoky fjord]

I can send screenshot with problem in the private messages

[cyan hawk]

AiA? That's...All-in-Arma isn't it? You shouldn't be using such an old addon that was made back in 2013. It's been deprecated for ages since CUP's been a thing.

[smoky fjord]

but i don't have this addon in ARMA 3 launcher (addons) 😦

all in arma

[golden nova]

but you have a mod that loads it, notifications do not show up if you don't have such mods loaded.

[smoky fjord]

what mod loads AiA?

[golden nova]

one that you have loaded?

why would I know, you selected the mods you are loading your game with. It's on you to know what each mod adds and whether you need it or not.

if you have no idea, start disabling mods one by one until the notification is gone.

[smoky fjord]

Ok, thank you

[uncut trellis]

What walls exactly? Something you have placed down?
Basically AI interacts with buildings on predefined paths inside them and those can't be blocked. So mission makers may not always be able to do everything they envision as missions do have to be done withing the engines capabilities.

[languid merlin]

So then whats the point of making missions and putting buildings in that are made for the game if Ai ignore them

[golden nova]

the point is to design missions in an appropriate way

[outer socket]

can anyone help me with the ace mod please cause im struggling i think it got corrupted and it needs to be a bat file so im not even sure how to put it in my server or correct the issue cause the problems that its making is it makes my vehicles only move forward and backward SUPER slowly

[languid merlin]

what do you mean appropriate way

[uncut trellis]

What building did you place down and where?

[golden nova]

I mean not plop compounds hoping that AI will move through them like player would. There is a reason why official campaign (and most missions on workshop supporting AI) do not have detailed hand-placed stuff

[languid merlin]

I have triggers and task and briefings everything is working except Ai playing casper the ghost

[uncut trellis]

None of that matters. What building? Where? Explain you scene.

[languid merlin]

have the mission on Napf

winter

the buildings in that game must not be baked in right cause they pass right through

[uncut trellis]

Napf is modded map so anything can happen. I have no experience on it so can't comment on it

It is possible it's bugged or made wrong.

[languid merlin]

end part of the mission I added a cup building looks like a big concrete warehouse

[uncut trellis]

Those could have bugs in them too. Usually less, but not impossible

[languid merlin]

ok so should I be making mission on Tanona and malden

[uncut trellis]

When you say ai phases through walls do you mean when they go into the building or are they ai you placed into the building

[uncut trellis]

Your question makes not much sense at the moment. But you might get best direct help on ACEs own discord

[languid merlin]

so my Ai teammates will not use the door but walk through it and an also Ai enemy walked through a cargo crate and barn warehouse I setup for comms station

[frigid canopy]

when i launch the game it keeps playing the arma 3 theme song over and over again, i am running pure vanilla

[uncut trellis]

Those sound like AI is already on a path and ignore everything else.

[frigid canopy]

now some bloke is talking about arma 3 features please help

[languid merlin]

Im using Lambs ai

[uncut trellis]

You have something running in steam overlay

[uncut trellis]

That can mess vanilla features too.

Mods can always break things

[languid merlin]

does lambs Ai brake game play

[uncut trellis]

It or some other mods you got could be causing issues yes

Basically it's not possible to say for sure

Some mods work alone and break when combined with others

[languid merlin]

other mods are cup core and terrian and vsm characters

[frigid canopy]

it still doesnt work

there is nothing running on the steam overlay

@frigid canopywhat mods you using

nothing pure vanilla

[languid merlin]

restart pc

[uncut trellis]

I'd say it might be best to practice how ai behaves with no mods on. And then when stuff works as you like start adding mods and testing if they change the ai

[languid merlin]

@uncut trellisshould I make missions only on official maps

[uncut trellis]

I'd recommend practicing on them first so you can then try modded maps with confidence that X should work

[languid merlin]

tanoa for some reason runs badly get terrible fps

Zeus is Game Master, think dungeons and dragons RP role. This needs to be set up in the game editor (Eden). The Editor is a tool to create a scenario before it is played. And to make it have Zeus role for a player you need to do something with modules in it. (don't ask what, never did myself)

[little badger]

Hello, I need some help regarding UnitCapture. The problem is that I can't seem to find a way to use UnitPlayFiring to rotate the turret of a driver/gunner vehicle such as the M113 with an M2. The only thing that happens is that the gunner shoots at the recorded times but doesn't move the turret unless the actual Arma AI spots a threat, in which case it rotates the turret towards it, which still goes against what I recorded previously. (idk if the thing I'm describing is even possible, but oh well)
I'd appreciate any help/insights, thanks.

[steady hawk]

UnitCapture doesn't capture anything than movement of the vehicle and its weapons' fire, which means it doesn't take turrets into the count

[little badger]

Right, so I assume there is no other function that can do that, right?

[steady hawk]

Unless you make one

Yea, you are right. I got it opened there, weird.

but we have the file

[umbral narwhal]

the error is when the user tries to join the server it will not even allow you to spawn in or in the server in general

???

[jagged hollow]

@umbral narwhal

am i good to dm you?

[umbral narwhal]

No.

[jagged hollow]

ok

[umbral narwhal]

You should strip down your modlist to just CBA & ACE and see if that loads fine.

Not really sure what that is, maybe some other mod with weird expectations.

[jagged hollow]

im trying just CBA and ACE

So these are mods we have in our mod pack but they are not loaded onto our server

It’s just CBA and ACE

so i do not know

[umbral narwhal]

Whoever is getting that message is loading those extra mods on their client.

[jagged hollow]

okay im trying it one sec

okay so the server works with just CBA and ACE

how do i now load the rest of the mods on there

[umbral narwhal]

Add mods gradually until it breaks.

[jagged hollow]

So add one at a time

[umbral narwhal]

You can normally do batches, like add all RHS at once or whatever.

[uncut trellis]

Delete private mods, they are not private if you have them

[bronze river]

why people getting this issue nowadays?
first time i heard this

[steady hawk]

Because of the recent Steam update I guess

[unreal wasp]

Is there a limit to the amount of Mods that can be used on a dedicated server? I seem to get the red server indicator around 18 or 19 mods in the commandline. I see some setups with far more than this amount of mods. Is it compatability issue or a limit?

[ocean cosmos]

compatibility issue

[unreal wasp]

I was leaning towards that. Thank you for the confirm.

[pale wind]

Did You fix the issue?

[unreal wasp]

Yes. Not so much an immediate issue as a need to know when setting up future missions. Thank you.

[umbral narwhal]

There is a limit and 18-19 mods is about where it's at.

Normally you get a message at the top of the launcher join window telling you about it?

You can raise it by increasing steamProtocolMaxDataSize in server.cfg but it relies on support for UDP fragmentation.
