AppData local has a bunch of JSON files. I don't think the launcher has anything in roaming.
You can whack the entire appData\Local\Arma 3 Launcher folder and it'll rebuild it, but you will lose some data (mod presets, launcher parameters etc).

Hey, I'm trying to help a friend with an issue. their shift-left click marker is fading regardless of the waypoint difficulty setting. Other players on the same server don't have the fade and the relevant difficulty setting should be being overriden by the server anyhow. any have an idea why this might be?

Hello, I have a "problem" atm. Whenever I join my server (I'm mission creator and server admin) I am stuck with a View distance of 1600. I have set up a view distance of 10000 in my options. I also use ALiVE and ACE in which I both set up a max view distance of 10000. Why though am I stuck to 1600 @.@ (I know I can change the view distance in ALiVE and it works, but I don't want to do that all the time.)
But I also don'T want to force people to a view distance of 10000, because of performance. I just want that everybody can use the view distance he set up in his options! ^^
fading sequoia
yes the server or mission says how much the maximum view/object distance is. client can't go beyond that limit
I guess setting high view distance in the server also affects how far AI can see

Hi, I have little proplem. Yesterday I tried to play Arma 3 (Launching with steam). But when I hit the play button nothing happens. Tried to launch the Arma 3 Launcher as admin from games directory and nothing. Then I tried to launch Arma3.exe. That started and I was able to play Arma3, but wihtout mods and without any parameters. (So had to do "old school" xD). So do you have any idea why my launcher wont start. Would be a lot easier to set up mods and parameters with that.
Firstly I tried to verify Arma3. Did not help. Then I reinstalled. Did not help. Installed to different disk, did not help. Did "fresh" install, did not help.
Then I went trough Arma3 own troubleshoot guide. I did re install newest VCRedist and .NetFramework. That did not help. Also tried to launch Arma3Launcher as admin and with -safemode parameter. Nothing..
Then I went to check Launchers log. There was nothing that could help me.
And last, I'm using win 10. Some say it works for them, and others say that it does not. I guess I'm part of that last part 😄 I'm just wondering why it does that, and is that fixable.

@Proekje probably you or them have overclocked the monitor.

But still having the same issue. is there anything else that I could be doing wrong? and my port is 1772, I added the +4 still no joy tried the -1 still no joy. I have the Battleye/BESserver.cfg edited, also edited my BEC Config.cfg with the RCon Port, no joy. now is there another location that the BEServer.cfg can be? I also opened all ports on the fire wall TCP/UDP. to make sure that it was not the firewall blocking the ports.

How come the End Game spectator system is now forced? No matter what settings I choose in the description.ext or in Eden's multiplayer preferences, I always get the EG spectator system. The mission framework our group uses worked perfectly fine before 1.58, we were put into our spectator as expected with the given settings, but now it forces us into EG spectator.. Is this intentional behaviour? How on earth do I fix this? There's no documentation on this sort of thing, and clearly something has changed...
Framework: https://github.com/ARCOMM/ARCMF
tiny imp
@mossy carbon i've no idea if BEC supports custom ports, i was talking about connection via official BE RCOn binary or up-to-date EPM RCON tool from Cortez etc.
zenith stratus
So I take it zero people know about the bug I'm talking about? There's literally no one experiencing this?
zealous thicket
@zenith stratus I think we are experiencing that too
getting spec cam in missions that didn't previously have it
uncut junco
set respawn = 1 in your description.ext / mission.sqm
mossy carbon
@tiny imp Ok, were would the BE RCon Binary be located then?
tiny imp
on battleye download site https://www.battleye.com/downloads/BERCon.exe
zenith stratus
@zealous thicket Turns out we fixed it by removing the stuff Eden puts into the mission.sqm stuff like debug console, scenario data etc. Remove all that and then do as @uncut junco said and make the respawn 1
@zealous thicket See https://github.com/ARCOMM/ARCMF/commit/ad8251d77469e37998a11a4953ef2dce29417100

nice ty
mighty wing
since the big patch a few days ago. I can only stay in a server for about 20 minutes before my FPS drops to 3 or 4 which makes the game completely unplayable. I have changed the parameters from malloc to system, downloaded and installed the arma3client_performance_158_135712_v2.7z and reset my graphics card's 3d settings to "restore defaults" any help would be greatly appreciated.
everything was stable prior to the patch. i had no problems at all
mighty wing
i'll check back
rapid shell
@mighty wing do you mean you set the memory allocator to "System" or you are using the default? the default one Arma 3 uses should be used
mighty wing
how do i set to default? it isn't an option for me
opaque osprey
just disable any custom malloc, that will load the default one
(remove -malloc option from start params)
tiny imp
@mighty wing why you using system allocator ? why not use the default TBBv4 (none == default == tbb4)?
mighty wing
i don't see it in the list. the printscreen link shows you what i have available http://prntscr.com/axnywa
is the one that i have highlighted the one you are referring to?
chrome token
Just uncheck "Malloc". It will load the default one
mighty wing
thanks @chrome token I'll give it a shot

has anyone found a fix for "exit code: 0xc0000005 - STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION" yet? i have a crash dump if anyone can offer any help
spiral sleet
Does anyone here know how to fix this issue? I'm currently trying to work on a mission and have the dedicated server open running on my computer. But whenever I make a change after loading into the server before I have to completely close my game otherwise I get kicked for modified data file and this RPT error:
Flushing file C:\Users\camma\AppData\Local\Arma 3\MPMissionsCache__cur_mp.pbo not possible - still open
I have tried a few things such as running the game, launcher and even the server as admin but nothing. It also doesn't always happen it comes and goes at random from what I can tell.
So Load into game fine -> Make change and restart server -> Downloads mission again -> Get kicked for modified data file.
I have searched online but have only found one BI forum post with the same problem from 2013 but no one replied.

How i can start arma with mods without launcher but with BatlEye? I tryed to -useBE param in shortcut, it not works 😦
full steppe
BattlEye = 1; in server.cfg
or wait is this server or client?
@smoky crypt - most likely server does not have required mods for the mission
easy to test try the same mission but replace the playable units with vanilla ones (ie: NATO, CSAT, IND)
crystal elm
im client
smoky crypt
i've tried it with just Vanilla. it's all i do any more and it still deletes it
This is a baught server
full steppe
weird... so I would go into editor, stratis, plop down one vanilla (BLU_F) unit make it player or playable - export new mission to MP - copy that .pbo to the server and run the mission - if it still doesn't work then I dunno perhaps your server needs a re-install
dont have any mods running on server or your client
@crystal elm - not sure I wasn't even aware there is a -useBE param
smoky crypt
I'll try that
opaque osprey
@smoky crypt arma3launcher.exe -noLauncher -useBE or arma3battleye.exe 2 1
crystal elm
@full steppe it works! but need to use arma3batleye.exe, but not default arma3.exe + use -noLauncher param
smoky crypt
@opaque osprey Are you saying launch arma like so?
crystal elm
yes

hey, havving some issues with mods running on my server, New to linux so any help would be apreciated
please @fringe salmon if you can help
rare creek
Upon launching ArmA3 with many mods enabled within the ArmA 3 Official Launcher, the following error message appears:
Exit code: 0xC0000409 - STATUS_STACK_BUFFER_OVERRUN
What's weird is that if I enable or disable a few more mods, the game launches just fine.
It's not a mod dependency issue either
sinful summit
anyone has any idea why this is happening? http://i.imgur.com/Mygqslm.jpg
happens sometimes to random content, vanilla, modded, etc
rare creek
did it get hit by with a dubstep cannon?
sinful summit
no idea
it's not related to the model itself, it happens randomly to other stuff too, i have no idea how to reproduce this, it just happens
rare creek
have you verified game cache through steam?
sinful summit
and it's not only client side, once we played in multiplayer and every 20 players saw that helicopter in a state like that
sinful summit
yeah if it breaks it breaks for everyone, i have no idea how
rare creek
it happens to any vehicle?
sinful summit
not really, it happens to that helicopter a lot, it happens to rhs at4 and it happend for vanilla hatchback once
rare creek
was thinking it was a graphics card issue, but since it happens to everyone... hmmm
sinful summit
same here for multiplayer, we all saw it broken in multiplayer
rare creek
are you running on dev branch or main?
sinful summit
stable
sinful summit
i'd love to report it but the feedback is down
and i have no idea how to repro this to really make a useful ticket
rare creek
I've never had this happen to me ingame. definitely wouldn't know how this occurs :\
sinful summit
i will try to play with our mods load order but i doubt it'll help, maybe it's some straaange mod compatibility issue
rare creek
could you list out the mods you're using? -- though you did say that this also occurred in vanilla. Did you test this without ANY mods at all?
sinful summit
tried to repro this once with pure vanilla, couldn't do it
sinful summit
yep vanilla hatchback happened too
did you run pure vanilla at the time?
or did you have some mods?
also our mod line http://podkolpakom.net/arma/mods.php
tulip willow
pretty sure running exile last time i saw it
its been a couple months so not completely sure
wet coyote
ive seen that happen with the vanilla hatchback
in both cases eg the helicopter, they are sharing their skeletons with some other model that has changed the arrangement of the bones. Nothing illegal in that, what is illegal is two different models calling thier skeleton the same name, but having different bone connections.
it's a common error amongst modellers to not use tag_names for their skeleton, and thereby almost ensuring that at least two people will call a girraffe a girrafe when one,in fact is an elephant.
remove all your mods, then progessively add them back until you discover who the bad boy is.
wet coyote
yes and no.
the short answer is no, it won't report a change to the skeleton because doing so is 'normal' in updates etc.
but, if as a result, a bone is missing (not re-arranged), then yes, all hell will break loose in (dot)rpt.
you can see that effect any time you use an arma2 rtm, or an arma2 human in arma3. the two games have different skeletons but both are called the same name.
sinful summit
found it, if you spawn rhs UH-1Y after you already spawned the CUPs one the one from rhs will break permanently
so the question is who should i report it too, rhs or cup
rich yoke
Probably both using the A2 version of that model with the same skeleton
So porque no los dos?
sinful summit
compared two rpts, only a few lines differences if you spawn other way, cup after rhs, no visual glitching
8:13:57 InitShapeEPEProperties() - skeleton bone index 98 is out of range (bones count = 58) for shape: rhsusf\addons\rhsusf_a2port_air2\uh1y\uh1y.p3d
8:13:58 InitShapeEPEProperties() - skeleton bone index 100 is out of range (bones count = 58) for shape: rhsusf\addons\rhsusf_a2port_air2\uh1y\uh1y.p3d
sinful summit
reported it to the cup they confirmed it's using the same namespace for model cfg, will be fixed in the next version
i've seen something like that happen to vanilla hatchback, what can possibly interfere with that
fringe salmon
a mod vehicle that uses the same skeleton name as the hatchback
blissful bramble
Been fixed at RHS' end too so don't worry about it

Hello all , i got a problem with buldozer , its really strange on Terrain builder thats work perfectly i can see road and object and terrain texture etc... but when i open object builder the buldozer is loading infini
and the object on object builder is around 789 faces ...
fringe salmon
correctly set up the external viewer in the OB settings?
fringe salmon

oh thanks
i tryed this and that load again infini , the problem is not about buldozer directly , it's look like only inside Object Builder i got the problem. then i will probably desinstall OB and reinstalled it again
sinful summit
@blissful bramble roger thanks
cosmic sky
ok . after reinstalled the Object builder its work
but tha load at least 35-40 seconde before showing the 3dmodel
fringe salmon
is it showing a "searching for viewer" window?
cosmic sky
yes
at least i can see the model 3d with him animation... but must have patient XD lol 1 minute to open the object and wait my precious minutes !
fringe salmon
leave it open, bd updates whatever you do in OB for that OB instance
i have that window too, sometimes it's very fast sometimes slow, i don't know why...
blissful bramble
it generally loads faster if you turn off "show shadows"
cosmic sky
??
where you see shadow you mean on buldozer option (after launch of buldozer press ESC and hit no shadow ? thats already done that not change anythink)

0xc000007b error. I have tried installing new versions of all redistributables I can think of. And DirectX, and .NET frameworks...
What do I do?
rich yoke
I'm guessing you have done some googling as that's what they seem to suggest doing as well. Any mods? Verified integrity on steam?
fickle lion
No mods, I have verified twice.
I have googled and looked at tons of solutions, but nothing does the trick.
rich yoke
So when does the error occur? When launching Arma 3 from steam? When you hit play on the Arma 3 Launcher?
fickle lion
When I hit play on the Launcher, yes.
rich yoke
Do you have a 32 or 64 bit OS? It wouldn't matter for the Arma 3 executable, but maybe you have a 32 bit OS and you are using 64 bit versions of DirectX or C++ package
You could also try going to %localappdata%\Arma 3 in file explorer and seeing if the RPTs have any further information
Also the launcher logs should be here %localappdata%\Arma 3 Launcher\Logs, I've never looked at them so I have no idea what kind of info they contain
fickle lion
I'll check that out.

For Milky: You're better off stating what the problem is and detailed information about it rather than waiting for a response. If you were emailing a teacher/professor and wanted to ask a question about your homework would you first email them saying you have a question about the homework, wait for them to respond with "what's the question?", and then ask the specific question? It's better to get straight to the point with as much useful information as you can. Who knows how many people know the answer to your issue but aren't going to ask you for details.
With that being said, what do you mean by "I'm having trouble getting Arma 3 to work"? Do you launch the game from steam and nothing happens? Do you press play on the Arma 3 Launcher and nothing happens? Is the campaign not working? Is multiplayer not working? There are so many things that you could categorize as "not working", so you need to give more information.

@ionic summit BI changed some CfgPatches around wait for an update for RHS and CUP
ionic summit
We don't use CUP, and it's a vanilla helo, the future apache, so why would there need to be a patch from the mod authors?
@rich yoke I've tried with and without. I've tried almost everything I can think of.
inland kayak
because according to your screenshot you're using modded assets
rich yoke
You want to pastebin the sqm? You might be able to find "Curatoronly_Air_F_Beta_Heli_Attack_01" in the addons list in the sqm and then remove it
ionic summit
I tried that, but I'll send you the .sqm anyway.
inland kayak
just make sure the mission isn't binarized
ionic summit
Well, apparently, the file is too big for Pastebin, and crashes Google Docs.
So here's a manual download over drive
(No, it's not a virus. Sorry for making you go through all of this extra work)
rich yoke
Yeah I don't see what could cause the issue
ionic summit
Neither do I, which is what annoys the shit out of me. If it was any other mission, I'd simply re-do it, but this is a template that I've been working on for shy of three months, and would be a good 20 hours of work to redo.
(And yes, I already tried to save it as a custom composition, but that gave me the same error
rich yoke
I'm assuming you've backed up the original, but maybe try removing curator saving, and then adding it again
Actually I don't know if that'll even do anything, "CuratorOnly_Air_F_Beta_Heli_Attack_01" is only in the PreloadAddons section of the curator
ionic summit
How's that?
OK. After messing about with it, the issue seems to be caused by the Zeus game master module.
rich yoke
Awesome
ionic summit
That's horrible.
I mean, in a way. It means I can get my missions to work, but is there any way to get into Zeus?
Outside of setting the module.
rich yoke
Still the same issue after readding Zeus?
ionic summit
Yea. Whenever I place the Gamemaster module, I get that error.
Which presents a huge issue, as I often take control of units via Zeus.
rich yoke
Are you changing any Zeus settings that point specifically to that helicopter?
I'm curious if you check the RPT if there will be errors for "CuratorOnly_Air_F_Beta_Heli_Attack_02" as well
ionic summit
I'll check. But when I place the module, not even edit it, it gives me that error
Ok, right now, I'm confused as all fuck.
It seems like that error only happens when I'm on my Template on Wake
ionic summit
Edit:It's happening on all maps.
rich yoke
Have you tried it with no mods?
ionic summit
No, am off to do that now.
ionic summit
Well fuck. It was an issue caused by All In Arma, as opposed to CUP Terrains

after the 1.6 update, all my workshop mods are showing corrupt, except for one. The repair button doesnt seem to do anything

Probably best to unsubscribe and then resubscribe
Did you delete the copy in the workshop's folder previously?
cursive gust
Restarting steam can also fix the problem
gloomy escarp
i did a few times already
cursive gust
In fact, steam workshop mod should be deleted from game folder
gloomy escarp
i would unsub and resub if the mod opened in steam and not my browser lol

And loaded from steam workshop directory

was hoping for a quick fix
the mods were moved initially

Steam appears to handle game downloads and workshop downloads differently, and it's fairly annoying
gloomy escarp
lame
rich yoke
Or maybe it's BIS's implementation of it, I don't know
cursive gust
@rich yoke Game downloading and workshop download are of course handled in totally diferent way
rich yoke
The fact that I can delete half the PBOs in an addon and repairing does nothing is an issue
I've yet to see verify integrity not catch an issue when used with a steam game
gloomy escarp
tried that already too

Well in fact, before this update, repair button was working flawlessly for me
rich yoke
I thought people had a lot of complaints with corrupt steam downloads?
I should say corrupt steam workshop downloads*

I wish I knew what was causing it. Now, I'm essentially fucked. I either don't use Zeus, or kill the server when I crash.
Do things like these normally get fixed, or do I just need to find a work-around

This update is a big fail, so Bohemia will fix it
Just don't know how many time it will take

It's times like these why I even bother.
But hopefully this stuff'll all get fixed in time for Apex to bring us the next set of bugs

I still hope that Apex will be a great update, and they will one shot it
But i'm optimist

I wish I shared in your optimism. But let's be honest, the new update'll probably just delete my server

ionic summit
Ah, OK.
warm sinew
so depends how your mission's set up
either just at init, or in a loop
(with a good sleep time)
ionic summit
Ok. I got a question. Is it possible to derive why my server crashed from its .rpts?
Because my server just crashed, and that is an issue.
cursive gust
Drop server RPT
warm sinew
unfortunately you usually don't get good log entries for crashes
ionic summit
cursive gust
Do you have crash dump ?
C:\Server\Arma\config\server2312\arma3server2312_2016-05-30_21-26-41.mdmp
ionic summit
Yea, gimme a sec. I'll upload it
cursive gust
Send me also full RPT pls, you missed a part for server
ionic summit
Ok, I'll go upload the latest crash
cursive gust
thx
cursive gust
Is it actually instant crashing after initialization ?
cursive gust
So you deleted a part of server logs
Because in the RPT you gave
21:36:00 SteamAPI initialization failed. Steam features wont's be accessible!
Then instant exception crash
ionic summit
Um...er...what did I fuck up?
cursive gust
Wel... On the log
YOu have no log from server init to crash
so it seems you aare missing lines
Or using -noLogs
ionic summit
Yea, on it.
ionic summit
Ok.
cursive gust
-noLogs make your server loging only the startup, and the crash, but not all script errors and config errorsw
ionic summit
Ah. Yea, I'll go make it crash again
cursive gust
And mdump files are only really interestingfor arma 3 dll extension makers and BI devs
I checked it but no interesting informations at my level
So the best I can do is check your RPT file when it will be full of logs
ionic summit
Ok. I'm just confused as shit what BI did to make my thing crash. I mean, it's probably an addon, but I got no idea which, since my server worked last night
cursive gust
They changed lots of things so addon makers needs to update their stuff to make it compatible with new version 😉
ionic summit
Well, I'm dumb. Apparently, it's one of the addons I'm running;Dual Weapons
Some other chap reported lots of crashing with it enabled, disabled it, and it worked
cursive gust
Nice. If you want me to chekc for errors in your server, you can anyway send me your logs, and I'll tell you if something is wrong in your scripts (even something that you can't see in game)
ionic summit
Major thanks mate, I owe you one. You're probably the o
I'll probably be back asking for help in 22.1 seconds when something else is fucked up
cursive gust
Use @ to mention me so I'll see your message
Not all the time watching Discord
This evening is an exception because of fucked up update :p
ionic summit
All hail the Arma lords and breaking our shit, right?
I mean, they didn't break ACE, so I guess that's something
cursive gust
That's the point
chrome token
just wait for it
ionic summit
Wait for what?
I'm waiting for everything to be broken. I'm ready. I'm pumped. I wasted my day off fixing Arma!

Steam deleted all the Workshop mods from my ArmA 3 directory when it downloaded the updates for a couple mods from the Workshop. How can I fix this? They're located in the workshop folder, but I really don't want to use the ArmA 3 Launcher provided by BIS.
inland kayak
Use the launcher, there's no better tool to sort your loaded mods
fringe salmon
They aren't getting automatically transferred over, and I use ArmA 3 Sync
Because I used ArmA 2 Launcher by SpiritedMachine back in the day
inland kayak
what do you mean by "transfered" ?
fringe salmon
Steam and the ArmA 3 launcher normally transfer the mods over to my ArmA 3 directory. They haven't been
They normally get moved here: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 3"
inland kayak
You do realize you can just go to that folder and move those folders yourself ?
fringe salmon
Uh, yeah, but I don't know the name of the mods since every one ends up with a numeric designator
fringe salmon
I'll copy the Folder names for a couple folders
"671755723" "504690333" "621431572"
Yep. by their IDs
When they go into the ArmA 3 directory, that's when they get their names assigned
inland kayak
pop a ticket on the feedback tracker.
fringe salmon
That's back up?
inland kayak
yep
chrome token
Seems so
fringe salmon
Unfortunately, I don't have time. I have to leave in five minutes
slow abyss
Mods being with their ID numbered folders is intended. Don't touch them. Otherwise steam will redownload them and the launcher will be confused.
dry jungle
This is intended behaviour in 1.60, it doesn't make copies to Arma 3 folder, therefore it doesn't take double the disk space. Read the changelog for 1.60
gleaming pelican
I'm having a problem. I'm trying to load a mission file in the editor and it's saying that there are some addons that it's dependent on, but they look like BIS class names. stuff like "A3_F_Soft_Car". Anyone have any ideas?
radiant hill
when installing mods from workshop, it makes 2 copies of the same mod, its a pain and wastes 100's GB of hard drive space, was this fixed in 1.60 ?
fringe salmon
Is there a checkbox where we can chose to use the old default behavior?
fringe salmon
I'm sorry guys. I shouldn't have gotten that mad
However, Chernarus Summer and Takistan are dead
I can't load them since the PBOs relating to them have disappeared
Ugh... I really don't want to have to redownload several gigabytes... My network won't like me if I do that...
rich yoke
If you know it's just those two PBOs I can upload them and send you the link
fringe salmon
I redownloaded it over the workshop. I have them all now
Which is good since I needed them to play Roads
radiant hill
@Tzer#1926 does this mean i can delete all the mod folders that were duplicated by workshop in the arma 3 folder before 1.60 patch ?
rich yoke
I would leave that to the launcher
It will do it on its own
It might no do it till the next time the mod is updated though, I'm not sure
radiant hill
ok thats cool, as i was running out of space on my ssd, so hopefully will get alot of space back, cheers
fringe salmon
I personally copied a couple mods over that I run a lot. However, I think CUP did something they said they never would. They removed the backwards compatability with A3MP and AIATP
It might just be me though.
Gonna redownload CUP Terrains - Core just in case it is me.
fringe salmon
Looks like the issue was on me.
I'll know when the folders finish copy over, I have them renamed, and I try to launch the mission.
Confirmed. The issue was on my end. Well, I feel stupid.
rich yoke
Steam workshop downloads aren't trustworthy sometimes sadly
radiant hill
right someone here yesterday said that downloading mods from workshop no longer installs 2 copies , i mean put mod into arma folder and also keeps mod in steam workshop folder, but it does, so is this a bug still ? thx
fringe salmon
@radiant hill Since 1.60 update the copies from Arma 3 folder are deleted and Launcher loads mods directly from Workshop cache. But some 'legacy' mods have to be copied anyway, because Steam downloads them as a file with .BIN extension and we have to create a proper mod structure and rename it to PBO so the game could load it.
radiant hill
Thx, yes was my bad i think, the mods that i seen left in the arma 3 folder, were actually downloaded by me, so i guess for them to work they have to stay in the arma 3 folder, correct ?
fringe salmon
I use A3Sync to launch the game, so I had to copy the FA-18s and CUP Terrains over
Copying stuff works fine
cursive gust
Do you sometimes see other players naked even if they wear uniform ?

I think I remember that being an issue after 1.54, but can't say I've noticed it recently

@rich yoke Want a joke ? When bug happens, and you check player uniform from server, returns ""
Not only visual

Yeah I think I remember checking that too
So I ended up just adding the uniform and vest again, but then had to readd the items within the uniform and vest
But they had to execute it, because to them the uniform isn't ""

hey guys
i run my dedicated server from my arma 3 install folder
since 1.6 i cant seem to get any mods to run.
"G:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\arma3server.exe" "-profiles=G:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\Dedicated_Server" -port=2302 -config=Dedicated_Server.cfg -world=empty -mod=@CBA_A3;@task_force_radio;@extdb2 -maxmem=32000 -netlog
i am guessing because they moved all the mods to some other locaiton. is there a work around for this to be able to run dedicated servers while still getting updates for mods from the workshop ?
abstract merlin
Anyone got a issue with the debug console in arma 3 not working correctly, i am running very simple code and its not working. (systemchat "test";). local and global both dont work.
abstract merlin
rich yoke
Quotes from people when someone asked something similar
commy2 - Last Tuesday at 12:55 PM
the debug console uses remoteExec for "SERVER EXEC"(edited)
depends on your white listing
It's either call or BIS_fnc_call
alganthe - Last Tuesday at 1:10 PM
The debug console use call for local exec
only watch fields can execute local stuff if you have remoteExec protections.
And someone followed up to that with
Quiksilver - Last Tuesday at 8:02 PM
@commy2 debug console moved to 'call' from bis_fnc_call awhile ago. call is pretty dirty command to whitelist though, opens the door for anything. would suggest using alternative remote execution for MP
None of that helps my issue :( thanks anyway
As shown in the video simple commands don't work
Prior to the update they did
And I can't find the reason as to why
rich yoke
Have you checked your RPT? The way your game freezes when you hit local exec makes me guess it was writing to it
chrome token
Are you running mods ?
inland kayak
@abstract merlin you have remoteExec protections on, you can't execute anything that isn't whitelisted by using the local, global, and server exec buttons
only the watch field should be able to execute local stuff.
abstract merlin
@rich yoke rpt is empty client and server side
@inland kayak am I correct in saying remote even call is only for server exec and not local
rich yoke
By empty do you mean nothing noticeable, or empty as in you have -noLogs on?
abstract merlin
Don't have -nologs
And the log has no script errors
The script in question is just systemchat "test":
And prior to the update it all worked fine
It's realy odd and bothering me lol
rich yoke
I'm not really sure what would have changed then. Is there anything in BE filters? If CfgRemoteExec blocks something from executing I'm not sure if it goes to remoteExec.log or somewhere else
abstract merlin
Never known a BE filter to block a script and not kick before but worth a check. I'm out for dinner at the moment so will have a look when I'm home,
Don't think it will be it lol
rich yoke
Yeah that's what I'm not sure of either. With the introduction of CfgRemoteExec you can specify what you want to whitelist to execute, but I have no idea what that means in terms of logging and interaction with remoteExec.txt
abstract merlin
Again I assumed that was for server execution only
There's nothing in changelogs that I could find
abstract merlin
So I need to whitelist the functions I want to use for it to work? Example systemchat targets 2
?
abstract merlin
And this came in the 1.6 update?
inland kayak
either you use remoteExec via the watch fields or whitelist call
and yes apparently BIS_fnc_call was replaced by call
inland kayak
cheers*
abstract merlin
Lol
solid crag
your code snipet seems to do nothing really . what do you expect to happen?
rich yoke
It does though, the number displayed in the watch section shows 3 because he defined it as 3 before the video, but in theory it should change to 4 when he uses local, global, or server exec. It only changes to 4 when he uses the clock, which is used for determining the average run time of a script, and uses a different command to execute what is in the debug console
abstract merlin
and the public var one
rich yoke
It's definitely something with what command is being used to execute what's in the debug console
abstract merlin
yes its not working at all
i have re installed arma server
used profile branches

updated this evening
and no logs on it or anything

okay, i also manually attempted to compile a string to code and call it, still no luck
if you want you can join my teamspeak rather than spam on here 😃
up to you

As a test try adding this to your description.ext
class CfgRemoteExec
{
class Functions
{
mode = 2;
};
};
class Functions
{
mode = 2;
jip = 0;
class fnc_AdminReq { allowedTargets=2; };
class ExileServer_system_network_dispatchIncomingMessage { allowedTargets=2; };
};
already done
rich yoke
Fuck
abstract merlin
i can see no logical reason as to why it doesnt work
@inland kayak http://puu.sh/pfRA9/1cdb75d330.png Unless this requires updating, you were wrong about removeexec for local scripts
abstract merlin
i see, appoligies @inland kayak 😉
rich yoke
That is from a3\ui_f\scripts\gui\rscdebugconsole.sqf
abstract merlin
okay that gives me a idea
going to find a old vertsion of the PBO
and replace it
and see what happens
rich yoke
Why remoteExec ["call"] isn't being executed, I can only point to CfgRemoteExec
I don't know what else would cause it
I'm off for a bit though, good luck, let us know how it goes as I've seen this question pop up a few times since 1.60
abstract merlin
okay thanks for your help
rich yoke
No problem, and this is what it looked like in 1.54 https://gyazo.com/13447c9043e2c984088df898ee140a6f, I don't know if it changed between 1.54 and 1.60
rich yoke
lol well yeah, I meant if there were changes to it in 1.56 or 1.58
For some reason this is what it looked like 1.58 https://gyazo.com/0bd25ea75736901ac829fad48f9ff2cf
I'm utterly confused why diag_codePerformance is being used
abstract merlin
odd, im messing with the function now and trying some things / ideas, i got a feeling the function is coded incorectly because i looked uo the remoteexec function paramaters. Up to: _this remoteExec ["call", [player, clientOwner] I understand, but "select isNull player" is confusing me as this returns nothing. I also believe there is ment to be a comma after the target paramaters and the select isnul player should just be isnul player
thoughts?
so it would look like:
case 0: {[[], _inputCode] spawn {_this remoteExec ["call", [player, clientOwner], isNull player]}};
faint dawn
[Variables] remoteExec ["FunctionName",Target];
OR
[Variables] remoteExec ["FunctionName"]; //send to Server
simple example:
Clientside:
{
systemchat str ["Loop",servertime];
[player] remoteExec ["fnc_Test_LoopS"];
};```
Serverside:
```fnc_Test_LoopS =
{
diag_log str ["Loop",servertime];
[] remoteExec ["fnc_Test_LoopC",(owner _player)];
};```
If it is that, what you want to do 😉- #arma3_scripting might be a better place next time
abstract merlin
@faint dawn I have a issue with the arma 3 development console and that screenshot is a snipit from rscdebugconsole.sqf if you scroll up you can see a video of me showing a example to my issue
abstract merlin
Not to worry lol, but the original local exec script confuses me in all honesty, the end part is trying to select false from a player or int
Hence me re writing the end to how it makes sense to me
abstract merlin
You have the issue too? I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE ;)
faint dawn
Tried:
fnc_Test = {skiptime 2}; publicVariable "fnc_Test";
then executing with fnc_mp and remoteExec
(as i did before, when i was on the DevServer)
Strange
abstract merlin
Yep, it's baffling me. I think the modification I made would fix it, however if I change this in my client / server will I get detected for cheating and banned?
rich yoke
No, you just wouldn't be able to join servers
You would get kicked for wrong signature check
faint dawn
connecting on 2017Server (properly setup remoteExec stuff and testing there again)
abstract merlin
So If I modified my test server and client to match
faint dawn
player allowDamage false; showChat true; player setAnimSpeedCoef 10; Nope, no execution (even local doesn't work^^)
Local not working completely ( systemchat "test" )
abstract merlin
@faint dawn I uploaded a video of that too yesterday lol
faint dawn
<- 9 am, awake since 20hrs ^^ excuse me. too lazy to read everything in the past 😛
But: Okay, that makes things kinda hard to test. Local the same?
faint dawn
diag_log "TESTINGER"; nutting in .rpt ("server exec")
rich yoke
And by the way
remoteExec ["call", [player, clientOwner] select isNull player]
The isNull player is evaluated, if it's true it is equivalent to 1, if it's false it's equivalent to 0. So if isNull player was false it would be like
remoteExec ["call, [player, clientOwner] select 0]
And then that would be the same thing as
remoteExec ["call, player]
Good luck with your other issue, I'm out
abstract merlin
Okay thanks for explaining that :)

Use A3 tools and the game updater...its the only workaround for now until they patch the error on steam

Nah, didn't work for me
I moved my dev branch install to the main folder, switched to dev in steam, paused it before it started downloading the whole thing, verified integrity and it's just making me redownload a gig or two
