Hello i think i have a database problem, when ever i try to run my sql file i get this message "mysql.proc doesn't exist". I know what it means, but i don't know how to fix it? Anyone of you guys that maybe can help me out? 😃

desert isle Sep 19, 2018, 10:38 PM

#

@native sphinx Have you tried Google? Lots of results there!

quaint jewel Sep 20, 2018, 6:45 AM

#

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24479643/restoring-mysql-dbs-from-sql-backup-failed-mysql-proc-table-doesnt-exist Oh look. First result on google after just copy-pasting your message. Man.. I expected this to be hard considering you couldn't do it. But it doesn't seem hard at all

bold yacht Sep 20, 2018, 1:42 PM

#

I'd try asking for help in those lingor life server forums first

#

Then try on vanilla server and make sure the issue exists.

#

👍

quaint jewel Sep 20, 2018, 4:08 PM

#

master_group Well.. Something life specific

#

If we can't see your code we can't know

sullen sluice Sep 20, 2018, 4:12 PM

#

https://pastebin.com/k2Bs5KF6

quaint jewel Sep 20, 2018, 4:12 PM

#

Well yeah...

#

master_group is never defined

#

You should probably define it

sullen sluice Sep 20, 2018, 4:15 PM

#

where should i define it? and define it to waht?

quaint jewel Sep 20, 2018, 4:15 PM

#

I have no idea

#

It's your code not mine

#

You are supposed to know what it's supposed to do ^^

sullen sluice Sep 20, 2018, 4:20 PM

#

yea, it's in the default altis life framework i think...

fringe salmon Sep 20, 2018, 5:28 PM

#

Probably not a good idea to pick apart frameworks if you don't know what you're doing.

sullen sluice Sep 20, 2018, 6:01 PM

#

Not picking it apart, im just trying to add opfor, like cop and ems :)(

fringe salmon Sep 20, 2018, 6:49 PM

#

so you're trying to pick it apart

sullen sluice Sep 20, 2018, 6:50 PM

#

Well, maby 😄

fringe salmon Sep 20, 2018, 6:50 PM

#

🤦

sullen sluice Sep 20, 2018, 6:54 PM

#

But either way, it's weird how opfor is the only thing that doesnt work?

fringe salmon Sep 20, 2018, 6:59 PM

#

 Error in expression <query,1] call DB_fnc_asyncCall;
};
};```

#

Did you get this error when you played in Vanilla?

#

@sullen sluice

#

when did you get that error specifically

#

"Sending request to server for player information UID [%1]"
this error is because the mission is looking for player information data stored somewhere on the server and it's not present because you're running this locally

sullen sluice Sep 20, 2018, 7:01 PM

#

What do you mean?

fringe salmon Sep 20, 2018, 7:01 PM

#

i

#

don't know how i can make that any simpler

#

the mission is looking for data that's present on a server

sullen sluice Sep 20, 2018, 7:02 PM

#

yea, i know that it is looking for information 😃

fringe salmon Sep 20, 2018, 7:02 PM

#

and what do you expect it to find ?

#

it's like pointing your finger at the sky and going "look, a plane"
and when there's no plane there your friend looks at you like you're crazy

sullen sluice Sep 20, 2018, 7:03 PM

#

i have put everything the same that civ/cop had in fn_updateRequest, fn_updatePartial etc.

#

hahah

fringe salmon Sep 20, 2018, 7:03 PM

#

again

#

the mission is looking for data that is stored elsewhere on the server

#

it is not present

sullen sluice Sep 20, 2018, 7:03 PM

#

Yea i know

fringe salmon Sep 20, 2018, 7:04 PM

#

so remove the pointer???

#

oh

#

excuse me

#

i'm wording this incorrectly

#

actually no wait i'm right

sullen sluice Sep 20, 2018, 7:05 PM

#

hmm

timid fiber Sep 21, 2018, 4:12 PM

#

im not even using usb headset and my arma still keeps crashing??

timid fiber Sep 21, 2018, 4:28 PM

#

this is just impossible for me to play

#

when i use usb headset it crashes and when regular headset it crashes

wise barn Sep 21, 2018, 7:36 PM

#

Move to win8.1

#

🤷

timid fiber Sep 21, 2018, 7:46 PM

#

its only after recent windows update

#

i really need help with this, nothing helps and no way for me to play arma

wise barn Sep 21, 2018, 7:47 PM

#

What update? Win or arma?

timid fiber Sep 21, 2018, 7:47 PM

#

when it crashes i can still control my character and hear the sounds if i shoot or walk but screen is frozen

timid fiber Sep 21, 2018, 8:20 PM

#

and no its not about usb headset ive tried that

chrome merlin Sep 22, 2018, 7:24 AM

Hello anyone available please?

placid token Sep 22, 2018, 7:46 AM

#

?

chrome merlin Sep 22, 2018, 7:56 AM

#

I'm facing an issue

#

After I reseted my PC

#

Before I had Nvidia and Intel drivers installed

#

now after I rested the device manager

#

can only display the Intel one

#

and the intel one does run Arma 3

#

in low FPS

#

really ,very low

#

while I'm trying to install the nvidia one

#

it's not working

#

Installer can't continue

umbral viper Sep 22, 2018, 9:54 AM

#

heya anyone had issues with bulldozer/ OB showing proxy objects? for the life of me i cant get it to work. all proxy objects are non binarized. any help would be greatly appeciated

fallow remnant Sep 22, 2018, 11:46 AM

#

@chrome merlin do you have a laptop? If yes, then go to the Nvidia control panel, and in the game settings make sure that Arma runs on the Nvidia GPU

#

@timid fiber try using #perf_prof_branch (instructions should be in pinned messages, or look at links posted by dwarden). If it still happens, find the crash files: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Crash_Files#Arma_3
Make a ticket on the feedback tracker with the files attached, and then PM the link to Dwarden.

timid fiber Sep 22, 2018, 12:00 PM

#

i have already tried that:/

#

and i dont know if there are any crash files because the game doesnt crash, screen just freezes and i can still do everything

#

only thing is that i cant see what im doing

quaint jewel Sep 22, 2018, 12:01 PM

#

Why do you say it crashes then.. If it actually doesn't crash at all

#

screen freeze and everything working sounds like graphics card or driver

timid fiber Sep 22, 2018, 12:03 PM

#

my gpu drivers are up to date and i havent done anything special to my gpu since these issues started:/

chrome merlin Sep 22, 2018, 12:06 PM

#

@fallow remnant hey dude the problem that there is no Nividia control panel

#

Also the nvidia card isn't being showed in device manager "Display adapters"

#

while I'm trying to install the download stucks

#

the nvidia driver

#

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/434282659443638273/493031580340584459/unknown.png

quaint jewel Sep 22, 2018, 12:11 PM

#

Sounds like it's not a Arma related problem at all

chrome merlin Sep 22, 2018, 12:11 PM

#

this SS

#

I'm facing this issue only in Arma 3

#

my screen freezes

#

but I can still hear the sounds and everything

#

and can do nothing

#

other games It's doing well

#

Someone remebered me that my laptop supports both Intel and Nvidia so I'm installing nvidia which is better

fallow remnant Sep 22, 2018, 12:13 PM

#

Yeah but if your Nvidia drivers aren't getting installed then that's the actual problem

chrome merlin Sep 22, 2018, 12:13 PM

#

but nope

quaint jewel Sep 22, 2018, 12:13 PM

#

I don't see how the graphic driver not wanting to install is Arma's fault

chrome merlin Sep 22, 2018, 12:14 PM

#

I have the same problem that Swigidy was talking about

quaint jewel Sep 22, 2018, 12:14 PM

#

you said you have really low fps.
And all of the sudden your game runs fine but just suddenly freezes?

chrome merlin Sep 22, 2018, 12:16 PM

#

Nah lemme explain it

#

I play like 30-40FPS maximum but every 10-20secs an fps drop must happen

#

Then like after 10-20mins the game fully freezes

#

while I can still hear stuff happening around

#

and I can talk via CapsLock

#

I contacted BI before about it

#

but haven't recieved any reply from them

#

also contacted Dwarden in discord

#

but he didn't even reply

fallow remnant Sep 22, 2018, 12:36 PM

#

But you also say that you have no Nvidia control panel, which makes me think that your Nvidia drivers are missing

quaint jewel Sep 22, 2018, 12:48 PM

#

Yeah. He already said he can't install them

median gyro Sep 22, 2018, 12:59 PM

#

when ever i try to join a server i get a message that tells me i was kicked from the game

#

what the fuck

quaint jewel Sep 22, 2018, 12:59 PM

#

maybe you were kicked for profanity

bold yacht Sep 22, 2018, 1:00 PM

#

or just timeout/high ping

median gyro Sep 22, 2018, 1:00 PM

#

was not connected long enough to play

#

and ive got pretty good internet

bold yacht Sep 22, 2018, 1:01 PM

#

try other servers if the issue exists

quaint jewel Sep 22, 2018, 1:01 PM

#

check chatlog and RPT

median gyro Sep 22, 2018, 1:06 PM

#

how is that done

#

i just joined a server and could see the team selection

#

then the only message i got was that i was kicked

#

no explaination

quaint jewel Sep 22, 2018, 1:07 PM

#

it normally pushes a message to chat or RPT

#

problem with chat is that the chat get's hidden in server browser or main menu

#

so you have a message but can't see it

#

to see it you can join a server. Or maybe if you host your own server you can see the chatlog

bold yacht Sep 22, 2018, 1:14 PM

#

how I can diagnose what's causing people unable to join the server after the mission is running for a while?

median gyro Sep 22, 2018, 1:16 PM

#

so how do i pull open the log?

quaint jewel Sep 22, 2018, 1:18 PM

#

RPT is %localappdata%\Arma 3

@sullen sluice run debug version of extDB3. maybe that tells you more

#

oh, okay

quaint jewel Sep 22, 2018, 1:37 PM

#

Atleast nothing besides the usual check RPT check chatlog

bold yacht Sep 22, 2018, 1:37 PM

#

If I provide the RPT and JIPQueue logs would you be able to tell more?

#

Well. Let's try anyways:

quaint jewel Sep 22, 2018, 1:38 PM

#

JIPQueue logs no. RPT maybe?

bold yacht Sep 22, 2018, 1:40 PM

#

You want to copy-paste it formatted here or pastebin?

quaint jewel Sep 22, 2018, 1:40 PM

#

send via PM

#

just Drag&drop into discord

bold yacht Sep 22, 2018, 1:40 PM

#

ok

quaint jewel Sep 22, 2018, 1:40 PM

#

If you copa-paste a whole RPT into here you'll get banned for spamming 😄

#

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/493054117078499338/493054182677413898/unsung.log here is the RPT if someone else wanna see.

You can just right-click and copy link to uploaded files

#

Well.. Battleye kicked him because he had a timeout

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

bold yacht Sep 22, 2018, 1:44 PM

#

Line 2904 says Unaccessible

quaint jewel Sep 22, 2018, 1:44 PM

#

Yes I saw that

bold yacht Sep 22, 2018, 1:44 PM

#

Not sure whether that's from Battleye or Arma itself

quaint jewel Sep 22, 2018, 1:44 PM

#

It's from Arma

#

but 0 info about what it is

bold yacht Sep 22, 2018, 1:44 PM

#

exactly!

#

That was my first alleged reason for timeout.

#

But no confirmation since I've found nothing about it

#

Thinking that because of that message Battleye has timeout and kicks.

#

People join normally after mission is loaded, but after some time of gameplay that happens

timid fiber Sep 22, 2018, 5:37 PM

#

Now sometimes it just totally freezes, i cant even hear the sound

#

But doesnt crash

#

I have updated my drivers, not using usb headset still not working

anybody know why my server just freezes on this

#

it will sit there for anywhere from 30 seconds to an hour before doing anything

analog bear Sep 25, 2018, 2:03 AM

#

Does it only happen when the servers empty?

royal umbra Sep 25, 2018, 2:28 AM

#

its on boot

#

@analog bear

analog bear Sep 25, 2018, 2:29 AM

#

Does it stop when someone tries joining the server?

royal umbra Sep 25, 2018, 2:30 AM

#

no the server doesnt start up at all

#

it just sits there on that forever and maybe will boot or will maybe just loop that forever

#

i've found a couple posts from people having this issue but no solutions

tropic yarrow Sep 25, 2018, 2:32 AM

#

this looks perfectly normal

royal umbra Sep 25, 2018, 2:32 AM

#

i know thats the thing

#

it doesnt tell me anything

#

it just sits there

#

im trying to boot it with no mods now and when it finally does get past that it just freezes again at creating action cache

#

when i got it to load with mods i would try to load a mission and it would just sit there forever and never load the mission

wanton shale Sep 25, 2018, 3:38 AM

-noPause -noSound -maxMem=4096 -world=empty < you can delete that, server has no user interface and main menu, for the maxMem if that param even works for the server that will not limit max memory usage anyway...

quaint jewel Sep 25, 2018, 6:42 AM

#

@royal umbra the -noPause -noSound parameters are useless.

@wanton shale where did you get the idea that maxMem doesn't limit the memory usage? Because that's actually exactly what it does. And no reason why it wouldn't work on a server

wanton shale Sep 25, 2018, 6:44 AM

#

from the experience...

#

iirc there was some notes also

#

there is > https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Startup_Parameters

#

(tried on the client ^)

#

Note that setting maxMem to 2000 does not mean that the game will never allocate more then 2000 MiB. It says that the game will do everything in its power to not cross this limit. 
In general, it makes sense not using this parameter at all and only resort to it in case you experience issues with memory.

#

@quaint jewel

quaint jewel Sep 25, 2018, 6:51 AM

#

Yes...

#

It does what it's supposed to do

#

limit memory as far as possible

#

That's what he wants I guess.. Probably a shared server that runs tons of other stuff

wanton shale Sep 25, 2018, 6:53 AM

#

🤷

tropic yarrow Sep 25, 2018, 6:53 AM

#

Or, like many people do without consideration:
it's a copypaste from someone else who thinks it'll "dedicate mo wam"

quaint jewel Sep 25, 2018, 6:53 AM

#

I'd say it's useless too if his maxMem limit equals his available memory. But he has 32GB of memory but is limiting the Arma server to 4GB. So I'm quite sure that's actually intended

tropic yarrow Sep 25, 2018, 6:55 AM

#

Time will tell ded

royal umbra Sep 25, 2018, 2:26 PM

#

It's a rented server, I assume it's probably a virtual machine limited to 4gb running on a physical machine that has 32gb

#

I don't think I can even remove the -noSound and -noPause. They're just default parameters from the host

#

Anyway i reinstalled everything overnight and I'm currently waiting on RHS to download again. Maybe things will work

native iris Sep 25, 2018, 4:42 PM

You are missing two mods

@quaint jewel Right, so I am going to edit the SQM so I can now load it in my editor with the right modset. Does arma3 the basegame show up in the list of ''Addons'' in the SQM or can i delete everything in the addon list with a A3_ Reference? (which then I am assuming stands for aegis)

quaint jewel Sep 25, 2018, 5:50 PM

#

base game is also in there

#

but you can still remove everything from there

#

no. A3_ is vanilla Arma

#

the Aegis idiots just reused that thing

so how do i seperate aegis from arma?

I'm trying to figure out a way to edit the missions parameters (antistasi), but the tool itself has no way of changing them, and they can't be edited if the server auto inits. The only way i've managed to change parameters is by directly unpacking the mission pbo, editing the defaults in description.ext, but when i do that the server console just spams "Mission read from bank." every second

gentle cargo Sep 25, 2018, 10:31 PM

#

Great, according to the antistasi github server setup guide i should edit the config.cfg to force parameters, but when i add it in and launch the server ,i get an infinite loading screen, except this time the server console gives no errors yayyyyy!

analog bear Sep 25, 2018, 10:33 PM

#

check your servers rpt?

gentle cargo Sep 25, 2018, 10:38 PM

#

christ, theres a lot of stuff in this rpt

#

what should i be looking for

#

something near the bottom?

#

cause im getting a shit ton of errors in stuff that worked perfectly fine before, like RHS and ace

#

I've got like 1000 lines of errors like:
23:36:25 Warning Message: No entry '.ace_gestures_warningstandlowered'. 23:36:25 Warning Message: '/' is not a value

#

Wait a minute, hang on, may have found the issue

#

nvm, i had the wrong scenario name in the tadst config file but fixing it didnt change anything

#

It's something to do with how I've edited the config to force parameters:

#

https://pastebin.com/pjYMu1SH I did it like this, the way its structured in description.ext but im not sure if its supposed to be that way

gentle cargo Sep 25, 2018, 11:09 PM

#

Fixed! I was right, the Syntax was wrong. (only just started learning c lol go easy on me)

If anyone also needs help with this, you open the server config.cfg file (TADST_config if your using TADST), then paste this inside the mission_1 class:
class Params {membership = 0; switchComm = 1; tkPunish = 0; allowPvP = 0; civTraffic = 0.5; unlockItem = 15; };
Then select the values for the parameters you want. You only need to put in parameters that you want to force change, if you want to keep a defaut parameter you can leave it out

For some reason sounds of vehicle engine not playing until vehicle enters 250m range for the first time. It makes config change checking a lit bit frustrating. Anyone know a reason or at least a workaround?

#

Anybody know how the hell to get advanced sling loading/towing/rappelling to work on a server?

#

I have them all enabled as server mods but none of them are being loaded

#

omg it's because I put the spaces in the name of the mod isnt it

pseudo grove Sep 26, 2018, 4:49 AM

#

i think the game interprets spaces using %20 as a placeholder/substitute

#

@royal umbra

royal umbra Sep 26, 2018, 4:50 AM

well i noticed in the bootup when it lists all the mods it's loading it only said "@crystal maplevanced" and said not found

#

yup there we go

#

i renamed all the directories with underscores and they're showing up in the boot

#

now lets see if it loads with vcom loaded correctly

#

every time i've tried to load vcom so far the missions just dont ever load

#

i cannot believe this has been my issue all along

#

frigging spaces.

uncut trellis Sep 26, 2018, 5:06 AM

#

"space" in names is very special in computer stuff I recall. So its often not supported in path names

My arma unit currently has the following issue: When we start our mission it's a gamble if the respawn system work it does fix itself after a couple of restarts

gritty crypt Sep 28, 2018, 2:34 PM

#

Too vague

vast glen Sep 28, 2018, 2:35 PM

#

Yeah sorry had a phone call xD

#

When people join the mission itself it shows the map but they don't get the option to respawn

#

but after restarting the server a couple of times they do get the option to spawn

#

and we use the respawn point module

quaint jewel Sep 28, 2018, 2:40 PM

#

Yeah I have the same

#

Seems to be a bug in some vanilla crap..

#

What did most often fix it for us is.. to kill yourself. Even though you are not spawned and cannot spawn. Your body is standing around somewhere. Just kill that body. So that you die and the respawn script starts fresh. Usually fixes it

#

But for that you need someone ingame to execute scripts on your body. Or you need to have some way to execute scripts in map screen to kill yourself

vast glen Sep 28, 2018, 2:43 PM

#

Yeah sometimes that fixes it but on some occasions we don't even have a character

gritty crypt Sep 28, 2018, 2:43 PM

#

What respawn system are you using?

#

Select screen or just basic respawn at respawn_west?

quaint jewel Sep 28, 2018, 2:43 PM

#

yeah I think it happened once to me that it didn't work at all and couldn't be fixed with any known methods ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Don't have the time to fully investigate that sadly.. And it only happens randomly and cannot reliably be reproduced sooo

vast glen Sep 28, 2018, 2:44 PM

#

Respawn on custom position and then we use the Respawn position module i believe

#

cannot really look into the mission file itself atm cause im not on a pc

#

But atleast we are not the only one with that issue

#

We also find it weird that we cannot reproduce the issue reliably

gritty crypt Sep 29, 2018, 12:30 AM

#

Question for you guys - member of my unit gets unbearable lag whenever the Zeus spawns units. Frames drop to 1FPS, the terrain/textures/etc all disappear and start to reload, and it just cycles whenever a new unit is spawned. We've dropped his settings all the way down, still happens. He's the only person it happens to, so I'm fairly confident it's not anything our end. Any ideas why this may be occurring? I've optimized his launch settings and swapped his malloc but I've never seen that sort of bug/glitch/performance issue before.

#

He had his memory limited to 3GB when he has 8GB so I removed that cap from his launch params.. hoping that fixed it 🤞

vast glen Sep 29, 2018, 1:38 AM

#

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Description.ext#respawnOnStart

#

@quaint jewel Think this might be the issue cause it's default on 0 - Dont respawn on start. Run respawn script on start. or do i read this wrong?

vast glen Sep 29, 2018, 3:09 AM

#

@gritty crypt isn't the minimum requirements 2 gb?

wanton shale Sep 29, 2018, 3:53 AM

#

if you are using respawn templates "Menu Position" you will need respawnOnStart = 1; to force respawn and respawn screen after,
but if you are using modules for the respawn positions that's the problem already, don't use them add positions manually.
also you have to make sure that the positions (at least one) was added before the respawn screen and after the briefing/time > 0/mission start... @vast glen

The editor worked fine previously but now seems to be saving to the same folder that it exports single player missions to \Documents\Arma 3\missions. which lets me play the map but not resume any saves. anyone have a suggestion on whats wrong

I have tried saving to different names, tried making a new map, binarized and non but still the same folder that it exports to.

When you save a mission, notice how you can select your missions or mpmissions folder? They work just the same

bitter inlet Oct 3, 2018, 9:07 PM

#

def saving in single

#

but if I recall it saved to \Documents\Arma 3\Saved\missions on a previous map I made and the exported to \Documents\Arma 3\missions which worked fine

or maybe it was Documents\Arma 3\UserSaved\missions but still exported folder was different than saved folder

TFAR 1.0 btw doesn't have that problem 😉 It doesn't care whether Admin or not 😉

Only time that problem ever appeared was when a guy had copied a very old TFAR version into his Arma Addons folder and was loading TFAR twice ^^

blissful lotus Oct 4, 2018, 7:52 AM

#

I know, we will switch to it one day. Small steps. TFAR is more robust. The only thing they use against it is that ACRE allegedly has better simulated drop of signal. Haven't used TFAR for some time though, maybe you 😉 upgraded that.

quaint jewel Oct 4, 2018, 7:52 AM

#

Not only allegedly. ACRE is a F-Ton more realistic and better in that regard
And TFAR won't change that

blissful lotus Oct 4, 2018, 7:53 AM

#

Technical reasons?

#

Or just, not enough time?

quaint jewel Oct 4, 2018, 7:53 AM

TFAR doesn't want to be that realistic. It's supposed to stay simple

blissful lotus Oct 4, 2018, 7:53 AM

#

Ok

#

Yeah simple works.

#

ACRE too often has issues, people complained that in some versions it just stopped working mid-mission etc. Never had that with tfar.

#

But ok, each to their own.

"game prelauncher" lets you auto turn off "unneeded" services/restore to gain a little bit of performance /return to usual state, it's ok in usual state so it seems some additional services needed, maybe related to netframework(?), I'll start chekicng some of them as there around 100 that turned off

Hey guys, I did a mission for my server, to play with Friends. We are a small team playing with Zeus, so the mission only contain about 20 units and 3 buildings, so nothing too big. But even if the mission work without any problem on my computer, once upload to my host, I can't play more than 30 seconds without being kicked to the lobby without any message. Did I missed something in the config ?

Already have an idea what could be going wrong. Does your script run serverside?

digital mauve Oct 10, 2018, 4:11 PM

#

I tested it on a dedicated server on my computer.

#

Ok so for now I have the rpt, I'll send it to you.

#

My script is called in the init of the units.

quaint jewel Oct 10, 2018, 4:15 PM

#

Okey I see some weirdnesses.. But Arma is currently kinda broken........

#

There is your issue

#

all units inits are executed on all players computers

digital mauve Oct 10, 2018, 4:15 PM

#

Yeah the rpt is kinda messy.

quaint jewel Oct 10, 2018, 4:16 PM

#

if you have 3 players on your server. That means your whitelist script executes 3 times on your machine

#

you should run it from initPlayerLocal.sqf with using player as the object

digital mauve Oct 10, 2018, 4:19 PM

#

I used it for a long time.

#

So I don't understand why I have the problem now.

#

I'll do as you said and try to make the server run without the script.

#

Oh god I feel so stupid :/ One of my script seems to be the problem, I'm checking wich one.

#

Ok you were right, that's because of the whitelist script, I started my researches by thinking it couldn't be the problem :/

#

I scripted a lot in other game or to code progams in general but I definitely don't understand how ArmA is working. If you have some time and bravour to hold my bad english and my lack of competence can we talk about why this scipt is fucking the server just now ?

#

Because I don't understand why it always worked without any problem ?

#

And my other script is changing the unit's stuff when they spawn, should I keep calling it "init" or is it a bad way too ?

quaint jewel Oct 10, 2018, 4:35 PM

#

send me the script and I'll try to point at issues

#

any script you put into the "init" field will execute every time a player joins

digital mauve Oct 10, 2018, 4:36 PM

#

Yeah I send you this.

quaint jewel Oct 10, 2018, 4:36 PM

#

so if you put a loadout script in there. And a player joins like 20 minutes after mission start. The loadout scripts will run again. And everyone's loadouts will be reset

digital mauve Oct 10, 2018, 4:38 PM

#

I don't call the script directly, I bind it to the respawn of the unit.

quaint jewel Oct 10, 2018, 4:38 PM

#

could be that when your script runs. player is not properly spawned yet and is a nullObj. And getPlayerUID won't return a correct value in that case

#

You might want a waitUntil {!isNull player}; in your whitelist script too

digital mauve Oct 10, 2018, 4:39 PM

#

Oh that could be the problem. Yes I'll use this line in tghe withelist as well.

quaint jewel Oct 10, 2018, 4:40 PM

#

And add a if !(local this) exitWith {}; at the start of your init field. That will make the init script exit if the unit that belongs to that init field is not your's

digital mauve Oct 10, 2018, 4:42 PM

#

You think it's a better solution than calling my script in initPlayerLocal ?

quaint jewel Oct 10, 2018, 4:43 PM

#

for the loadout script that'll be easier

#

And for your whitelist script too because you have that zeus/non-zeus difference check thing

digital mauve Oct 10, 2018, 4:45 PM

#

Oh yes I have this argument to give to the the script.

#

By the way, waitUntil {!isNull player}; did the trick.

#

So thank you for all that help, it's really cool, and sorry for being such a newbie.

#

A last thing about this, what do you think about the fact that this script never fucked up the server before ?

quaint jewel Oct 10, 2018, 4:53 PM

#

you were alone on the server?

digital mauve Oct 10, 2018, 4:54 PM

#

It worked in all situations, from 1 to 8 players, during months.

#

That's why I didn't thought it could be the problem.

fringe salmon Oct 11, 2018, 4:53 AM

#

I have the steam version, and when I tried to fire it up it said my user settings are corrupted

@peak delta I encourage you to follow these steps setting up the development environment https://pmc.editing.wiki/doku.php?id=arma3:tools

and to use Mikeros tools (used in the steps above) to pack your addons. PboProject is equivalent to the Addon Builder in the Arma Tools but it has far superior debug output for config and model bugs and errors

Hey mates, I am trying to set up my server and I have encountered an error I need help with.

Can anyone help me?

You have that #include in some missions description.ext

that doesn't work anymore since 3DEN. Either you copy that file into your mission pbo and include it from there. Or you need to get rid of that

Hey guys me and my friend are trying to play arma but it keeps poping up as server not responding on the steam thing! How do i fix that? or can i fix it?

fringe salmon Oct 17, 2018, 9:00 PM

#

Recommend looking up portforwarding or another solution
Try both of you start up a server, and in the first screen check the UPNP box, and check each others game through steam

#

If UPNP doesn't work, good luck with manual port forwarding @hardy olive

AHHHHH FUUUUCK I TIRED THAT MANY TIMES😩 \

hardy olive Oct 17, 2018, 10:26 PM

#

UPNP ima bout to find out what version he's running

fringe salmon Oct 17, 2018, 11:03 PM

#

Unless he's on Mac or linux, then they should be on the same version, even then, I'm sure steam would show the server. You'll have to find guides to portforward. And it can be a pain.

Hello, I have this weird watermark on arma that ive never had before, when i screen shot from steam its not there which leads me to believe its hardware. on the left of my screen is a large square with what looks like a green sonar or radar detector, and on the right is a bunch of audio mixers for bass boost and treble. I cannot interface with them or get rid of them they just stay there doing nothing, does anyone have an idea what this is?

uncut trellis Oct 19, 2018, 8:49 PM

#

There are two problems im finding which are whenever I play as the zeus, I cant respawn, and the screen becomes dark, and freezes every second, the ten second respawn is slow, as it goes 100 - 300 milliseconds down each time a frame passes

#

I dont know how to describe it well

fading pulsar Oct 23, 2018, 10:29 PM

#

Don’t play with your spawned character perhaps?

plush orbit Oct 23, 2018, 10:30 PM

#

If the zeus is not marked as a player or playable, I cant select it from the lobby

tropic yarrow Oct 23, 2018, 10:31 PM

#

I have no idea if it's possible to play without a soldier char @fading pulsar

#

Virtual entity alone should do it

#

you also shouldn't be able to die as zeus

#

if this is the case, unless arma creates a dummy

fading pulsar Oct 23, 2018, 10:31 PM

#

I mean spawn in, then spawn an ai and take control of

tropic yarrow Oct 23, 2018, 10:31 PM

#

even then I don't really understand how you are "respawning"

fading pulsar Oct 23, 2018, 10:32 PM

#

So your “player” doesn’t die

plush orbit Oct 23, 2018, 10:32 PM

#

When the game starts, and I am the zeus, I am on a respawn menu

#

The same one a player sees.

tropic yarrow Oct 23, 2018, 10:32 PM

#

Then don't do that, check if player is curator. Disable respawn menu, skip to curator setup

plush orbit Oct 23, 2018, 10:32 PM

#

uhhh

#

Im a bit new and very stupid when it comes to 3den

tropic yarrow Oct 23, 2018, 10:33 PM

#

has nothing to do with eden and everything to do with sqf

plush orbit Oct 23, 2018, 10:33 PM

#

Sqf?

tropic yarrow Oct 23, 2018, 10:37 PM

#

Sequential Function, arma's editing language.
For example:

if(player call BIS_fnc_isCurator) then
{
    //close respawn menu
};

#

have to find the ids for the menu in specific, but that'd be something along the lines

#

this is also more of a question for #arma3_scripting than anything else

plush orbit Oct 23, 2018, 10:41 PM

#

so would this fix the freezing the zeus experiences?

tropic yarrow Oct 23, 2018, 10:48 PM

#

worth a shot

#

there is a bit of a hint as to how BI does this in official missions

plush orbit Oct 23, 2018, 11:56 PM

#

i dont even know how to do that

#

where do i code that in

#

which folders, what name is the file

#

im so confused

fickle pumice Oct 24, 2018, 10:37 AM

I am experiencing an issue with FPS stuttering briefly for approximately 1 second, my game freeze frames for 1 second whenever I press the voice button to mic up in game, it then unfreezes and FPS quickly returns to normal even while continuing to hold the voice button, it only happens when voice button is first engaged.

I can hear others fine, and they can hear me well also. I just get this annoying 1 second freeze frame every time I press the button to mic up.

My hardware and specs are fine as I have not had this happen with Arma 3 in the past on this exact same rig or with other applications currently.

A few things I have tried doing to troubleshoot this weird issue...

I've changed my voice buttons in game.
Set microphone properties to disable all enhancements and adjusted default format to 1 Channel, 16 bit 48000 Hz (Also tried exclusive mode)
Launch Arma 3 without mods.
Verified game files via steam.
Re-installed Arma 3.
Tried my microphone through multiple USB ports.
Microphone drivers are up to date.
Tried running Arma 3 in 32-bit mode.

One thing worked, I tried a different microphone and the 1 second freeze frame was gone upon pressing talk button. It seems that Arma 3 does not like the Blue Yeti Pro. This same microphone and driver package has worked with Arma 3 in the past. Is anyone else experiencing this issue with the same microphone or even a different microphone as me?

Any thoughts or ideas to fix this would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

placid token Oct 24, 2018, 10:38 AM

#

Seems like an uncommon issue. This is using the in-game VoIP, correct?

fickle pumice Oct 24, 2018, 10:50 AM

#

Yes.

placid token Oct 24, 2018, 10:52 AM

#

I can't personally say anything that might help fix the issue, but a workaround to use that microphone is to use it through Teamspeak, possibly using ACRE or TFAR.

#

This isn't really effective on public games (unless those games have populated TS servers), but Communities for the most part don't use the ingame setup at all.

desert isle Oct 24, 2018, 10:58 AM

#

Arma does not play well with USB headsets

fickle pumice Oct 24, 2018, 10:58 AM

#

I did some more troubleshooting and was able to get the issue to stop but only if I have another application running on the computer that uses the same microphone.

#

It is strange to me that it would stutter otherwise though.

#

Example: If Arma 3 is the only app running on my PC and I try to push talk button with my Blue Yeti Pro it causes a small freeze frame. If I open discord and hop in a voice channel then push to talk on Arma 3 it doesn't freeze frame anymore.

#

The moment I leave voice channel on discord or close whatever other software that detects my Blue Yeti Pro, boom, back to freeze frames on the key press.

desert isle Oct 24, 2018, 11:16 AM

#

remove all usb microphone headphone/mics and try with a non usb device and see if that makes a difference.

fickle pumice Oct 24, 2018, 11:19 AM

#

I don't have any analog microphones, but it worked fine with my old usb headset.

#

And it worked fine 2 years ago.

#

The Yeti did. It worked before.

fringe salmon Oct 24, 2018, 12:42 PM

#

I have a USB headset + microphone and arma 3 has always worked fine with it

#

Though it seems to be a pretty glaring flaw if USB mics don't work with arma 3

desert isle Oct 24, 2018, 12:52 PM

#

Its a simple test.

#

If it fixes the problem, its the USB device having some sort of conflict with arma.

wise barn Oct 24, 2018, 12:53 PM

Such issues only appear with win10

The AI in my game are able to see vehicles through terrain and it's really ruining my game.. Has anyone encountered this bug before? It persists after a reinstall and there's been no response on the feedback tracker.

#

As in through a mountain? Are you using any mods? @lost parrot

lost parrot Oct 25, 2018, 5:31 PM

#

No :L and yeah like if I spawn my group on the other side of the hill south of Alikampos and place a stationary MRAP or APC they'll call it out.

#

It's happening on my other PC as well so idk if a mod messed something up.

#

I have some screenshots of it happening in this feedback post https://feedback.bistudio.com/T133247

desert isle Oct 25, 2018, 5:34 PM

#

Create a new user profile and test it with the new profile. (with no mods of course)

lost parrot Oct 25, 2018, 5:34 PM

#

I have done that and unfortunately it didn't change.

#

I even removed all files associated with arma and clean reinstalled the game.

desert isle Oct 25, 2018, 5:35 PM

#

your profile isn't always removed by doing that.

#

Hence, the create a new user profile

lost parrot Oct 25, 2018, 5:35 PM

Yes, I tried both

desert isle Oct 25, 2018, 5:36 PM

#

I'll test on my PC

lost parrot Oct 25, 2018, 5:36 PM

Wasn't happening to my friend so I'm thinking it's something on my account since it's happening on both of my PCs

desert isle Oct 25, 2018, 5:37 PM

#

"On your account" will only be tied to a profile.

lost parrot Oct 25, 2018, 5:37 PM

#

I unsubbed from all addons even just to be sure they didn't redownload when I reinstalled

desert isle Oct 25, 2018, 5:38 PM

#

If I was a betting person, I'd say that something remained on your PC.

#

Most likely an old profile you're not seeing.

#

Tested, no reaction from either faction.

lost parrot Oct 25, 2018, 5:46 PM

#

Gonna give it a quick test as well before I start troubleshooting again

#

Yup.. same result, spawn facing away and as soon as I turn and face the hill I hear "APC 400m "

#

On the plus side reinstalling seemed to improve performance for some reason.

#

Infantry vs Infantry are fine, but as I'm spectating their eyes are locked on the vehicles through the ground

tropic yarrow Oct 25, 2018, 7:00 PM

#

@lost parrot They have no idea where the vehicle is at until it comes into actual view. They will have this "locked eyes" effect because they probably hear it. this happens the same way for infantry

#

There are a couple different script commands to test this definitively

unique snow Oct 25, 2018, 8:44 PM

#

@lost parrot you’re not alone, I accounter this “bug” too

#

Tank see infantry that’s 1.5km away, so it doesn’t follow waypoints, also in the same mission the AI called “Tank, Very far” the Tank they spotted was on the other side of the map lol

tropic yarrow Oct 25, 2018, 9:01 PM

#

@unique snow You do realize if there are any type of intel relay like radios on AIs they'll report it to other units?

#

UAVs, planes, infantry, cars, anything. If they have a radio and they're grouped they'll share intel

unique snow Oct 25, 2018, 10:03 PM

#

@tropic yarrow I do realize... No other units were operating in the AO, the tank they called was about 3km away in enemy territory with forest and hills in between

#

I was a bit surprised, also when enemy artillery fires, often the AI will call the artillery pieces, even though they’re on the other side of the map, this time literally 10km away if not more lol

tropic yarrow Oct 25, 2018, 10:08 PM

#

There must be some element you are missing, I've never seen this happen unless the situation applies where intel is shared

unique snow Oct 25, 2018, 10:10 PM

#

I’m pretty sure I knew the situation since I made scenario myself

#

There was no way they got into enemy territory to spot that tank, no way

#

I would say it’s a bug too, didn’t happen to me before until recently

unique snow Oct 26, 2018, 12:59 AM

#

Yet again, this time I, myself, called a T-72 from 2km away lol, not game breaking but still weird lol

lost parrot Oct 27, 2018, 4:16 AM

#

@tropic yarrow I don't think you're understanding what I'm saying. There's no other AI, it's just me and a squad I spawn in the editor with a stationary enemy vehicle on the other side of a hill. No sound is being produced. They are targeting it and calling out as soon as I look towards the hill.
If I lower the difficulty I get a target reticule that will track exactly where it is as well as a map marker. But as I play with veteran preset I didn't notice this until recently showing how bad the problem actually is. Vehicles are unusable in my game currently.

I am having problem with arma 3 it started in summer. Everey time I play arma 3 always comes black screen and it will crash my pc and the only option is to restart it from the button (holding it until it turns off) I didn't had that problem before I played with mods and dind't have issues and now im only searching for fix what I can't find. I have vertyfied the files many time I have uninstalled all mods and the game and I have deleted my arma 3 folder from profile and I have tried many launch options but nothing works.

#

I even used the ccleaner for fixing files what someone from bohemia recommended

#

playing with mods or without them still crashes

quaint jewel Oct 27, 2018, 8:14 PM

#

did you try playing windowed mode?

#

Does your full screen still go black? And you can't kill the game or tab out or anything?

fringe salmon Oct 27, 2018, 8:15 PM

#

before I was able to do ctrl + alt + delete but now it doesn't even work anymore

#

after crash it even closes discord

quaint jewel Oct 27, 2018, 8:15 PM

#

How do you know that it closes discord?

#

you said it crashes your whole PC and you cannot do anything anymore

#

How can you check that Discord is closed, if you cannot do anything?

fringe salmon Oct 27, 2018, 8:16 PM

#

because if im talking with my friends while playing and if the crash happenes i can't hear them anymore and they told me that I disconnected

quaint jewel Oct 27, 2018, 8:17 PM

#

Well try the windowed mode. On the "crash" pay attention to what happens. Does the system clock still run or does the time freeze. And such

fringe salmon Oct 27, 2018, 8:19 PM

#

I will try

fringe salmon Oct 27, 2018, 9:04 PM

seeems like it's not crashing if it's windowed

but I don't like the windowed way

Im going to try fullscreen windowed tomorrow

so im going to play with this

Fullscreen window is best cause it allows you to tab out without unloading and reloading anyway

@wise barn You can extend the timeout in the registry

quaint jewel Oct 29, 2018, 3:44 PM

#

extending the timeout doesn't help. Atleast not with the problem I have with my graphics drivers. Everything freezes till the timeout runs out and the gpu driver get's reset. The timeout is several seconds, so it's not really gonna help much with micro dropouts? Or did they really reduce it to a couple milliseconds in win10?

Hey I have a quick question
Can you set a plane to respawn at a given position with a custom loadout, but only through zeus?
I have found solutions for the eden editor, but zeus is coming up empty

fringe salmon Oct 30, 2018, 1:05 PM

#

not really

tropic yarrow Oct 30, 2018, 6:07 PM

#

Without SQF no, with SQF yes

fringe salmon Oct 30, 2018, 6:10 PM

#

he said "in zeus"

#

unless you plan on generating a file, compiling it with necessary code, and then somehow configuring a respawn module to call the script every time the plane is recreated

#

so no, even with SQF that is not possible in zeus only

quaint jewel Oct 30, 2018, 6:12 PM

#

Depends... If the Zeus has debug console access. Sure.
If the Zeus has a mod with a module to execute arbitrary code.. Sure.

We are running a dedicated ArmA server on linux. As a Zeus sometimes my RPT file gets spammed with ~1 million lines stating:

21:39:27 Warning Message: Cannot load texture c:\users\schwaggot\appdata\local\arma 3\squads\atlas\wrgz6hojwa.paa.
21:39:27 Warning Message: Cannot load texture c:\users\schwaggot\appdata\local\arma 3\squads\keko\glii1hlatw.paa.

I have already narrowed it down to being a problem the insiginia that some players have defined using their steam group or ArmA Unit. It seems that if players use the insignia from there it throws these errors while I am Zeus. There seems to be no such problem with insignia defined using squad.xml files. So I think this might be a linux server only issue, but how do I get rid of this? I can of course just say [x] no logs, but that's not feasible as I often need other feedback from the RPT. Can I somehow prevent people from using this type of insiginias? Also I won't switch to windows server, just saying 😉 Any ideas, anyone?

#

By ArmA Units I mean this here: https://units.arma3.com

quaint jewel Nov 1, 2018, 10:17 PM

Yes units stuff broke on linux. known

fair flame Nov 1, 2018, 10:20 PM

Yeah ok, but now what?

quaint jewel Nov 1, 2018, 10:21 PM

#

honestly... ¯_(ツ)_/¯

fair flame Nov 1, 2018, 10:21 PM

#

Oof. Once your RPT reaches a certain file size it bogs down my entire game :/

severe pumice Nov 1, 2018, 11:10 PM

#

I was getting a issue with my server that causes the server to spew out a "Network message pending" error. Once the error starts the server stalls and either recovers or it forces me to restart the server.

This is playing with mods and around 60 players.

I have already tried messing with my basic.cfg file. It seemed to to work when I put my "MinBandwidth=" back to default but it still causes problems.

One more detail is that I am using the latest performance version of the dedicated server.

Soo....Yea..Any ideas of what would cause this?

desert isle Nov 2, 2018, 7:41 AM

#

As you are playing a modded version of the game, it could literally be anything. A good starting point would be to tell us what mods you are using.

fringe salmon Nov 2, 2018, 3:02 PM

#

Why can’t I place nato or csat units in Zeus?

#

I only have the achilles mod

fallow remnant Nov 2, 2018, 3:05 PM

#

you should be able to

#

check the zeus module settings, make sure stuff isn't disabled from there

fringe salmon Nov 2, 2018, 3:08 PM

#

how do i access the module settings?

fallow remnant Nov 2, 2018, 3:10 PM

#

double click on it in the editor

fringe salmon Nov 2, 2018, 3:12 PM

#

nope, all official addons

#

so when i load into zeus, they are all there for 5 seconds

#

screen goes black. nightvision sound comes on and they are all gone

#

cant place them

#

any ideas?

sterile hearth Nov 2, 2018, 3:28 PM

hi guys i have a question

#

we put in cupunits

#

if i buy the clothings on the server the get put on the body

#

but if i drop them on the ground they are white and i cant put them back on

#

any ideas ?

quaint jewel Nov 2, 2018, 3:28 PM

#

ask the server owner

#

something broken in the buy script thingymabob I'd say

Did Arma update recently? Turned up today and it can't start without crashing at the menu with a 0x0C6D007E error.

#

Nvm, I think Plays.tv updated and may be causing a conflict. Ofc.

gritty crypt Nov 4, 2018, 8:39 AM

#

@severe pumice considering one of their mods is just a reupload of ace, compats and tfar ilbe, I wouldn't bother with that community 🤔

clear ledge Nov 4, 2018, 9:33 AM

#

why are some loadouts available to be loaded and some arent?

#

I made them in the virtual arsenal and now I cant load them in game and in the Virtual arsenal

#

now I deleted some and can use the upper ones but not the last ones. I can use only 9/11

charred wigeon Nov 4, 2018, 10:57 AM

#

@clear ledge perhaps the load outs are using equipment from mods?

clear ledge Nov 4, 2018, 11:30 AM

#

nvm I fixed it

#

bug

clear ledge Nov 4, 2018, 12:39 PM

#

nvm didnt fix

#

only some are avelable

#

when I reach 9 I cannot access the ones above 9

when i try to launch the 64bit version of arma, i get a 0xc000007b error my system is 64bit and i have all the redist installed, the 32bit version works fine but i dont think battle eye works with that

#

after closing the first error i get status_invalid_image_format

@gritty crypt may I ask why?

#

@sterile hearth a simple google search shows thise messages are normal. That being said it would be nice to get rid of them.

gritty crypt Nov 4, 2018, 5:28 PM

#

@severe pumice you are not allowed to reupload works that are not yours. Argue your case in #ip_rights_violations

severe pumice Nov 4, 2018, 5:29 PM

#

Even with permission?

#

Alright I transferred over that conversation to #ip_rights_violations. Though my issue still stands and should still be valid. I've had this issue occuing for a few months randomly. It doesn't happen all the time but its annoying.

toxic surge Nov 5, 2018, 1:06 PM

#

i have a bit of an odd issue, whenever im in a jet and press ~ or / my throttle cuts to zero

#

sometimes the jet starts flying a random direction

wise barn Nov 5, 2018, 1:14 PM

#

Check your key bindings

toxic surge Nov 5, 2018, 1:20 PM

#

nothing i change fixes it

#

both those keys are unbound

charred wigeon Nov 5, 2018, 1:40 PM

@toxic surge this is arma 3 feature, to prevent from crashing, i asked this before too and there's no way to disable this

placid laurel Nov 5, 2018, 4:48 PM

Anyone have an idea on how you can use mods from another folder for a server? Basically I'm trying to save space by using mods in another directory rather then downloading it twice. I've tried using this; -mod="../folder/@cba" without any luck.

quaint jewel Nov 5, 2018, 4:50 PM

#

linux? symlinks

placid laurel Nov 5, 2018, 4:51 PM

#

will that actually work?

#

I'll try

quaint jewel Nov 5, 2018, 4:51 PM

#

yes. Symlinks usually work

placid laurel Nov 5, 2018, 4:52 PM

#

tysm.

#

it worked.

sudden cipher Nov 5, 2018, 5:34 PM

#

a friend is having trouble - his P drive doesn't automount
he can run the bat file manually and mount the drive.
how can it be fixed manually ?
i think the pc must schedule mapdisk.bat (in a3 tools folder) to run at startup, for this to happen automatically?

#

or isthere some magic install moment in the BI tools or part of mikero tools (he has paid tools version) that makes this happen?

gray trellis Nov 5, 2018, 5:53 PM

#

Sooo I tried PMC maps, any fix on "Too many virtual memory blocks requested"?

tropic yarrow Nov 5, 2018, 7:00 PM

#

@sudden cipher For me it would seem the mounting exectuable is ran on startup. Dunno what the mikero paid tools do. The standard A3 tools has this behavior.

sudden cipher Nov 5, 2018, 7:03 PM

#

thanks mate. i wonder at what point the tools set up this schedule? as my friend has not ru nthe A3 tools setup beyone a basic steam install. he then used arma3p and didnt bother with the BI tools setup much

Greets All I have a problem with the using a CH pro Throttle in arma 3 for VTOL flight. I have bound it as z+ and z- axis (forward and back) to plane throttle analogue control but for some reason I can only ever get 6% throttle. IS there anyone that can help with htis problem?

#

The throttle shows full range of motion and is working in all other applications except in arma 3

spring tangle Nov 6, 2018, 1:24 AM

#

I have also tried a different joystick bound in the same manner for forward and back and that device too can get no more than 6% thrust when in analogue.

#

when bound to digital up and down throttle both devices work fine. How can I get Analogue throttle working correctly?

severe pumice Nov 6, 2018, 1:49 AM

#

Does it work for helicopters?

spring tangle Nov 6, 2018, 2:52 AM

#

It did before but just trying again to make sure

#

I used it fine for collective lower raise even though a second stick is better for that

#

Ok this time it seems what is 6% throttle for VTOL is about 66% throttle for collective raise and 33% at the full lowered throttle position bound to collective lower. This is not enough to raise the helo off the ground.

#

Strange that this time it is not registering 100% for collective as it used to do

#

Let me adjust the sensitivity perhaps or maybe deadzones

#

adjusting sensitivity and deadzones only increases the range on helo to 67% at max throttle range.

severe pumice Nov 6, 2018, 3:07 AM

#

Just to make sure you are talking about this throttle https://www.amazon.com/CH-Products-Pro-Throttle-USB/dp/B00006B84Z

spring tangle Nov 6, 2018, 3:09 AM

#

Yes

#

I just recalibrated it and exited Arma and will try again

severe pumice Nov 6, 2018, 3:10 AM

#

wait are you using software in conjunction with the throttle? Sort of like the thrustmaster TARGET software?

spring tangle Nov 6, 2018, 3:11 AM

#

I am using CH control manager

severe pumice Nov 6, 2018, 3:11 AM

#

Try binding keys without that software running

spring tangle Nov 6, 2018, 3:11 AM

#

you think I should try without?

#

Ok will do

severe pumice Nov 6, 2018, 3:11 AM

#

yep hope that works

spring tangle Nov 6, 2018, 3:12 AM

#

I usually run that as you can bind keys that otherwise just don't recognise in game. exiting CH control manager and trying it as a raw device.

severe pumice Nov 6, 2018, 3:28 AM

#

@spring tangle did it work for you?

spring tangle Nov 6, 2018, 3:32 AM

#

I decided to reset system as controller part of arma config refreshed and still displayed CH control manager 1 instead of CH pro throttle like it would have if it was detecting the raw device

#

Will continue to test.

#

(its kind of frustrating as I have not been able to get my flight gear work with arma for a while, its why I kinda abandoned flying there but really want to give it another go, previously I had problems getting a fixed wing to even lift off a runway with the same controller which has no problems in other games)

#

rebinding my joystick to act on binary input through third party software like a keyboard seems like such a waste of great flight gear

#

I have a Warthog right , Virpil Constellation delta Left stick, CH Pro throttle and Crosswind pedals.

severe pumice Nov 6, 2018, 3:37 AM

#

Did you make sure that the CH control manager was not running in the background?

spring tangle Nov 6, 2018, 3:37 AM

#

yes I have to manually run that to make it work just restarting everything now

#

Am deliberately not running CH Manager to isolate and see if that is an issue here

#

ok so Arma Controller config sees CH Pro Throttle USB, good.

#

hmm, no good, it again sees full throttle extent as 66% and throttle at lowest point as 33%

#

binary keys can increase and lower throttle (here collective in helo) no problem to raise and lower the helo, but it is binary and not analogue and does not resolve my initial problem

#

will try a fixed wing and see if there is a disparity between vtols and fixed wings in terms of throttle percent output.

#

[I am asking for help here as I have read through a lot of threads of people who have similar issues in Arma 3 with VTOLS and throttle in general. NOTE this is NOT an issue of not having bound the same throttle to 50% up and 50% down to the same action binding as I have read elsewhere.]

#

Could it be that I am binding the axis wrongly, I read somewhere that you should start to bind with the throttle placed at 50% position then move it up and then move it down. Don't know what I am doing wrong.

#

I have tried a fixed wing and only get 25 on the engine when the throttle is at full and 0 without. I will try a different airplane - that was on the A-10 Thunderbolt II.

severe pumice Nov 6, 2018, 4:01 AM

#

This is confusing.

spring tangle Nov 6, 2018, 4:01 AM

#

Do you play with a throttle?

severe pumice Nov 6, 2018, 4:02 AM

#

yeah and pedals

spring tangle Nov 6, 2018, 4:03 AM

#

And you have no problem getting 100% thrust in VTOLS, fixed wings and Helos?
