Did you follow the PMC tutorial on how to set up the P: drive?

dapper lintel May 19, 2020, 7:34 PM

#

Apparently I missed the bit at the end with aramA3p. However, when i try that i get this: https://imgur.com/tJnN5FM

#

also by External HD is physically a P Drive. I manually set its letter to P

uncut trellis May 19, 2020, 8:13 PM

#

sometimes external drives have unfortunate problems with Win10 and access permissions

dapper lintel May 19, 2020, 8:26 PM

#

okay, I think it turns out I was downloading the oldest version rather than the latest version, I'll keep you up to date

#

this new one hasn't done and error yet and is extracting stuff

uncut trellis May 19, 2020, 8:54 PM

#

are you downloading them from the bytex website?

dapper lintel May 19, 2020, 10:14 PM

#

From the tutorial link. I downloaded the top ones but the bottom ones were the more up to date versions. I just didn't look, bad on my part, haha.

#

to be fair I think my wife was nagging me to clear the bins at the time, haha

dapper lintel May 19, 2020, 10:45 PM

#

okay, good news, the last error has gone

#

but now it says there is no external viewer.

uncut trellis May 19, 2020, 10:47 PM

#

@dapper lintel

#

bytex is where the latest tools are. Tutorial links can point into any place

dapper lintel May 19, 2020, 10:50 PM

#

Sorry, I misunderstood you. I mean this tutorial link https://pmc.editing.wiki/doku.php?id=arma3:tools:setup-p-drive

uncut trellis May 19, 2020, 10:53 PM

#

PMC probably is up to date with the files, but would still be more sure to get them from the bytex link

dapper lintel May 19, 2020, 10:54 PM

Yeah, I need to be more clearer. I start just spouting gibberish later into the night, haha. Sorry.

I'm having trouble installing some mods on a server using FASTER, some of them work but some won't install like cup terrains

#

the official dedicated server page said cup terrains and such won't work if there are capitalized letters in the mod files, but I don't see any

fluid depot May 20, 2020, 4:28 AM

#

So I have this weird error, which causes me to get stuck in an infinite loading screen when I load into a server.

#

The RPT says this:

#

"c:\w\stable\futura\lib\network\networkserver.cpp NetworkServer::OnClientStateChanged:NOT IMPLEMENTED - briefing!"

#

After that various things pop up that state this:

#

"destroyed ... locked at 3"

#

Does someone know what that means and how can I fix that?

#

I also have the full RPT if someone needs it

steady hawk May 20, 2020, 4:31 AM

#

What version/branch of Arma 3 you use?

weak lion May 20, 2020, 4:32 AM

#

is this with all servers?

steady hawk May 20, 2020, 4:32 AM

#

Looks like these pops are referring to internal debug things

quaint jewel May 20, 2020, 6:58 AM

#

@fluid depot the first means nothing, should really remove that...
second means your arma is shutting down correctly, ye i know.. Arma has a weird way of saying that

fluid depot May 20, 2020, 7:27 AM

#

@weak lion Yep.

#

@steady hawk Normal one.

#

I see. Don't know what is broken then, I'll have look at the RPT later.

weak lion May 20, 2020, 7:58 AM

#

I think my problem is with steamcmd timing out while it's downloading the larger mods. Anyone have a fix for this?

dapper lintel May 20, 2020, 10:37 AM

#

Is it supposed to say this at the end when you use armaa3p? (this relates to my buldozer problem) https://imgur.com/zGcuxL7

quaint jewel May 20, 2020, 10:44 AM

#

I'd think so

#

use arma3.exe instead of buldozer.exe in the object builder configuration

uncut trellis May 20, 2020, 11:56 AM

#

I think even the latest version of the free tools should set the Arma 3 exe as buldozer in both OB and TB

#

as it actually says there couple of lines above

dapper lintel May 20, 2020, 12:21 PM

#

yeah, in the options it says it's already set as that.

#

In the end, if I can't get it to work it's not the end of the world. I can still make objects, it just requires my longer methods of loading them up in game and not the buldozer view.

uncut trellis May 20, 2020, 12:23 PM

#

are you running OB from the tools launcher @dapper lintel ?

#

while not end of the world, it means something is wrong in how you have it now

#

which should not be ignored as it can cause an issue later

dapper lintel May 20, 2020, 12:24 PM

#

Okay, it's now working

#

weird...

#

proof: https://imgur.com/AnbIOae Maybe when I unplugged and replugged in my EHD it reset something.

#

Or it could be because I redid the armaa3p and loaded up the tools from the p drive.

#

Either way, it works.

uncut trellis May 20, 2020, 12:33 PM

#

tools from the P drive?

#

you have the actual tools in the P drive?

dapper lintel May 20, 2020, 12:36 PM

#

just a copy of the folder

#

I didn't move them

uncut trellis May 20, 2020, 12:54 PM

#

youre not supposed to have the tools in P drive

dapper lintel May 20, 2020, 1:25 PM

#

My tools are in my steam commons folder. I mean I just have a copy I put in my workdrive to test if that was the issue. The Object builder from my steam commons folder also works now so maybe I wasn't opening from the application yesterday and trying to open from arma tools.

#

Anyway, the issue seems to be solved. I'll come back if there are any problems, thanks for all the help 😄

uncut trellis May 20, 2020, 1:28 PM

Could be a dumb question here, Trying to use steam CMD to download mods to the server, working just fine, Two questions,

Do I need to rename the mod folders download by CMD to the correct names or will they work with there ID counter parts
Do I need all mods used on the server (in particular RHS) I know ill need to load CUP due to maps and such, but does RHS need to be loaded server side?

fluid depot May 20, 2020, 6:10 PM

#

Update: didn't really find something

weak lion May 20, 2020, 7:14 PM

#

@spark mica They are supposed to be named by their ID, but your server folder should have the mod names with folder shortcuts to the id mods. RHS stuff does need to be loaded on the server. Weapons, maps, vehicles, anything that creates a mission dependency. I'm using FASTER http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=35302 and it works for everything except the big mods (which is steamCMD's fault) because it times out.

I keep getting " you were kicked off the game. Signature check timed out " does anyone have a fix for this?

weary sky May 22, 2020, 12:21 AM

#

it means that Steam can't connect to the Stream servers and validate you have a valid copy of the game.
It could have a lot of reasons... from Steam API issues, connection issues, firewall settings, modem/router settings, etc.

#

usually it gets fixed by running Steam as administrator and start the game from Steam (instead of shortcut)

azure mica May 22, 2020, 12:22 AM

#

Damn, I've spent 2 hours trying to fix it

Ok I'll try that thanks mate

Been playing Arma for ages now and only way i can host a server is through using himatchi. I have tried all of the port forwarding as per the Wiki and bohemia web pages but i am still not about to host a server thats visible for my friends

#

anyone got anything i can try ?

uncut trellis May 22, 2020, 8:56 PM

#

talk to your internet provider if you have real IPv4 connection or IPv6 connection

#

the latter cant host

frail sigil May 22, 2020, 8:57 PM

#

okay i will have to try that tomorrow. but on the router IPV6 is disabled. I have tried enabling it and still not able to host so friends can see it

uncut trellis May 22, 2020, 8:58 PM

#

IPv6 is the one that wont work

#

but also theres some sort of fake IPv4 thing that I cant remember the name for

#

but the ISP should be able to answer that

frail sigil May 22, 2020, 8:59 PM

port forwarding is usually layer 8

i mean, arma 3 local hosting does not work on IPv6 or DSlite IPv4

I know Arma doesn't support v6, don't know more

wise barn May 22, 2020, 11:45 PM

one can forward ports as much as he wants. if the hoster has IPv6 it won't work

any idea if this is fixable on BIs end?

thats a lot of "pthMF" which I assume is path finding or smth

short fern May 24, 2020, 5:39 PM

#

What's strange there - no AIs a local to server. My current understanding of the server picture says, there are no local server ais, so there is nobody to use pathfinding on the server.. Weird..

quaint jewel May 24, 2020, 5:39 PM

#

Yes thats AI pathing

#

there are no local server ais, so there is nobody to use pathfinding on the server..
That would be correct

#

enTFS is eh... a vehicle turret with AI, checking where it should fire

#

siUSo is AI sumulation, so yes, you have AI's on the server

short fern May 24, 2020, 5:42 PM

I have an issue with fps in arma. My CPU is AMD FX(tm)-6300 Six-Core Processor, 16gb of ram and a Nividia GeForce GTX but im only getting like 20 fps on arma. Does any know any solutions and if if its hardware what should i upgrade

quaint jewel May 24, 2020, 8:37 PM

#

upgrade the cpu

#

but.. AM3+ is basically dead

#

so you'd need to update the mainboard too... and the ram

tidal shoal May 24, 2020, 8:39 PM

#

so 16gb of ram is not enough?

quaint jewel May 24, 2020, 8:39 PM

#

it is

#

but new platform will need DDR4 memory

#

you have DDR3

tidal shoal May 24, 2020, 8:42 PM

#

so to get better fps for arma i need DDR4?

#

or just a CPU upgrade could help?

quaint jewel May 24, 2020, 8:43 PM

#

You need a CPU upgrade

tidal shoal May 24, 2020, 8:43 PM

#

Thought so.

quaint jewel May 24, 2020, 8:43 PM

#

But there is no CPU for your platform that will give you the upgrade you want

#

You have to move to newer platform

#

which doesn't support DDR3

tidal shoal May 24, 2020, 8:43 PM

#

unplayable

#

i'll just try and get the most current cpu comp with ddr3 and hopefully that could fix it

quaint jewel May 24, 2020, 9:39 PM

You'll want AM3, top end is.. FX 9350 I think, just slightly better than mine

a waste of money IMO

fluid depot May 24, 2020, 10:28 PM

Nope. I play in a community who uses maps from the workshop, so I mostly play in missions based on these. However when I load in it always uses Altis or Tanoa cutscenes, but it switches to the workshop map right after the slotting screen.

It sounds like your your issue is that you're playing as the pilot and as such, can't use the weapons if you dont select manual fire. Even then you wont be able to properly use the weapons systems.

so sometimes when I launch arma (that is not start it in steam but click play in the launcher) it loads like normal but then it gives me a message that reads: "directx 8 input required". The only fix that I found is to restart my pc. Do you big brain people know what might be up?

install directx 9

I always restart my PC before playing Arma, but that's because I'm oldskool

What's the most common issue for UPnP hosting not working when the basics have been taken care of? (I locked an IP to my PC within my router, I opened the appropriate ports on UDP, UPnP service host is running on both my PC and the router)

wise barn May 29, 2020, 10:07 AM

#

do you want to host a local server that others from the internet can access?

gentle peak May 29, 2020, 10:08 AM

#

I want to host a game for my friends, yes

wise barn May 29, 2020, 10:09 AM

#

you need to make sure you have an IPv4 connection from your ISP. if you have IPv6, you're out of luck

gentle peak May 29, 2020, 10:09 AM

#

is it possible to have both or just one?

wise barn May 29, 2020, 10:11 AM

#

not possible. many ISPs use IPv6 for households and reserve IPv4 for business customers.
ISPs create tunnels within IPv6 connections for IPv4 applications, called DSlite. but arma can't handle that

#

you can check your router settings if your outgoing IP is IPv4 or v6. if not, contact your ISP

gentle peak May 29, 2020, 10:12 AM

#

I managed to get my friends to join my game through a direct connect, does that mean anything?

quaint jewel May 29, 2020, 10:12 AM

#

that means your base ports are fine

#

but the steam ones might be missing. Or maybe outgoing blocked in your firewall

gentle peak May 29, 2020, 10:14 AM

#

does it at least confirm that I have IPv4?

wise barn May 29, 2020, 10:14 AM

#

very likely

gentle peak May 29, 2020, 10:14 AM

#

so I either need to find the Steam ports or figure out how to clear up the outgoing ports

#

that about right?

quaint jewel May 29, 2020, 10:16 AM

#

2302-2306 are incoming. outgoing dunno which

quaint jewel May 29, 2020, 10:17 AM

#

upnp is supposed to clear them buuut...

gentle peak May 29, 2020, 10:22 AM

#

yeah, the ports on that link are already set up on the router

#

at least on the port forwarding section. is there another place they might need to be in?

wise barn May 29, 2020, 10:24 AM

#

local firewall maybe.
just guessing, never did a local server

quaint jewel May 29, 2020, 10:25 AM

#

if the other person can direct connect, they work

gentle peak May 29, 2020, 10:27 AM

#

so I can host private games but not public games

#

which means I'll have to open ports for the Steam app if I want public game hosting?

fringe salmon May 30, 2020, 6:04 AM

#

So whenever I join any server, doesn't matter what, official, hosted by someone else, no matter what I'll disconnect after several minutes of play. It doesn't matter if my ping is low, it happens regardless. The longest I've gone was maybe 10, 20 minutes before the game says I haven't received a message then disconnects me. I've reinstalled, and that didn't help at all. If anyone has any tips on how to fix it please let me know.

These branches are accessible by opening the application Properties in Steam client. In the BETAS tab, you'll find a drop-down menu with publicly available branches. Some branches require an access code to be input before appearing the list.
Below you have a list of access codes.
Performance/Profiling branch is 4th in the table

Just a bad gpu or something with drivers or settings?

I have only noticed this is arma 3 so I hope it's something with my settings as I have tweaked them a lot and have tweaked settings in nvidia control panel

No I have never noticed anything like this in other games

I just noticed the game kind of hurting my eyes and noticed it flickering

It's shit quality but if you can see its flickering, it's much worse on my screen

weary sky May 31, 2020, 1:33 AM

Did you lower the quality manually in the settings, or use the auto-detect option?
Because if you simply lower everything it will actually make it worse since everything will run on your CPU instead of GPU

quaint jewel May 31, 2020, 9:57 AM

@uncut trellis

you were lied to
it has worse performance as it does lot more checking
Profiling steam branch runs performance build by default. Not profiling unless you specifically switch to it thus no, there is no "lot more checking". And yes currently performance build has performance improvements over stable.
but enabling hyper threading and switching the memory allocator to the worst one we offer is probably not the best idea.
Setting memory limits will also ONLY hurt your game, not improve anything @weak linden

well i've seen people doing mission building through the a3server instead the singleplayer editor. I mostly use the mission as playground and "script making facility" and the only thing that bothers me is the lack of FPS

Well before unnecessary effort, he sent me this

desert isle Jun 2, 2020, 1:18 PM

#

The odds are we will be able to identify the offending mod by name alone

#

Are these the mods he has or the mods required by the server?

#

Thats not what you said previously

#

the sound works

#

The editor is NOT a server

#

What works in the editor may not work on a server

wise barn Jun 2, 2020, 1:22 PM

FYI the editor part was just to figure out if it is a system, game or mod issue

do you have analogue headphones (3.5mm jack)?

#

are "oldschool headphones" in your possession?

desert isle Jun 2, 2020, 1:45 PM

#

No old iphone headphones?

#

Does a friend/neighbour?

#

Its merely to test.

wise barn Jun 2, 2020, 1:47 PM

#

it's most likely windows then. but can not confirm as long as you don't have a set of 3.5mm headphones at hand to test

#

first it must be confirmed

#

if it is confirmed, bluetooth / USB audio are no option for you anymore, only wired analogue audio.
MS 🦆ed up big time with the 2017 autumn / creators update, crippling a lot of older applications that used to work with digital audio before. as in this case arma 3

#

i have audio gear and software / plugins literally worth thousands of euros that i can not use with win10 anymore

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

whatever you feel the need for

#

but then again... why bluetooth? it's the worst option for gaming unless you have aprX low latency. and still then you have a latency / delay of 32ms

#

why is it only on servers tho
i'm yet to find the issue on that

#

do you headphones support aptX low latency bluetooth?

#

reading the manual / specs of your headphones

#

i highly doubt your onboard module does

#

if your headphones do support it:
i recommend the Inateck AptX HD Wireless Bluetooth Adapter BR1008
plug it into your analogue audio out and pair your phones to it
problem solved

#

it isnt
a shame...

#

i still recommend getting this adapter

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

can you select your monitor as an audio source?

#

what sound sources are shown in your audio settings?

#

output

#

i have my speakers
so you DO have analogue audio?

#

"not digital"

#

what is connected to your 3.5mm output on your computer?

#

how?

#

your soundcard is dead?

#

*onboard

#

you still got a rear jack

#

what is plugged in there?

#

green plug

#

you where talking about speakers earlier. what kind of speakers?

#

do they have a jack, or wireless?

#

plug that into the green jack on the read side

#

then set "speakers / headphones (realtek audio)" as default

#

open youtube, play some music (just to see if the speakers work)

#

purrfect

#

disable bluetooth and try playing on a multiplayer server (without mods)

#

ok... this proofs again that microsoft is a 💩 company

#

so, my suggestion:
either go wired audio or save up some money for the inateck audio transmitter that you can plug into the rear audio jack where your speakers are now plugged in

#

"ding, ding, ding"
ready, round 2

#

download the tool "CPU-Z"
install and run it
go to "mainboard" tab
write down what is written in "Manufacturer" and "Model"
go to the manufacturer website
download all drivers for your mainboard
install all drivers manually
retry

#

go to the manufacturer website

wise barn Jun 2, 2020, 3:08 PM

and don't forget to disable your bluetooth (PC)

#

i mean, disable the whole module

#

https://winaero.com/blog/disable-bluetooth-windows-10/

How to disable Bluetooth in Windows 10

Here are all ways to disable Bluetooth in Windows 10. We'll see how to use Settings, Device manager and the Action Center feature for that.

#

how long did you test it?

#

did you change ingame voice settings? like VoIP?

#

voice over IP
ingame communications

#

in the audio settings

#

the thing you turn down if you don't want to hear the mumbling of others

#

nvm

#

so, your issue here:

#

your headphones where switching audio mode as soon as the mic was activated. arma, along many other applications, doesn't like that and refuse to work.

grim tinsel Jun 2, 2020, 3:26 PM

#

^ Which is really annoying if your mixer has a loose connector and just a small disconnect can stop arma's sound working

wise barn Jun 2, 2020, 3:27 PM

#

your options are:

use a wired headset that plugs in to the back panel (mic and phones)
use BT headset with the mic deactivated (video follows). you won't have a mic then

#

old, but the idea is still the same

can i go for dinner now? 😄

#

ok 😦

#

what specs do you have?
CPU, RAM, graphics?
(open CPU-Z to see)

#

and now Memory and Graphics please

#

well, your CPU is quite capable. but you are a little short on RAM and the GPU isn't the best either.
what you can do is, go to the graphics settings and use the autodetect function. then reduce view distance to around 2500-3000, also disable PIP

#

this will be the best you can do

#

thanks.... i'm starving already 😄

good luck, have fun

not the launcher launcher

Answer my question, what's the error?

torpid remnant Jun 3, 2020, 11:41 AM

it's not show up

steady hawk Jun 3, 2020, 11:41 AM

#

You said it keep crashing, didn't you?

wise barn Jun 3, 2020, 11:41 AM

#

the guy in the video was right about the folder structure and the configs.
but you should use a p-drive dev environment and pboProject for your stuff.
never use pbo manager oe whatever it is called

steady hawk Jun 3, 2020, 11:41 AM

#

Crash = There must be a error log

wise barn Jun 3, 2020, 11:42 AM

#

once you've build the mod with pboProject, launch it as a regular mod with the vanilla launcher

torpid remnant Jun 3, 2020, 11:42 AM

#

The launcher he told to use A3 launcher not thevanilla one

wise barn Jun 3, 2020, 11:42 AM

🦆 that launcher from armaholic. not needed

but before you start anything, hear me out:

torpid remnant Jun 3, 2020, 11:48 AM

#

Yes

wise barn Jun 3, 2020, 11:53 AM

#

follow these steps first. exactly as they are written here!

first, install the arma 3 tools
https://pmc.editing.wiki/doku.php?id=arma3:tools:installing-steam-arma-3-tools

prepare your P: Drive and install Mikero Tools
https://pmc.editing.wiki/doku.php?id=arma3:tools:setup-p-drive

once this is done, create a folder on P:\ with your modder prefix. it is usually 3 letters, like CUP or RHS.
it could be P:\<prefix>\<yourmod>\config.cpp

this serves the purpose to have a clean and tidy p-drive

example

P:\BAD\BAD_uniforms\config.cpp
ect```

#

once you use pboProject to crunch the mod(s), source folder is going to be \BAD\
the output then will be BAD_vests.pbo and BAD_uniforms.pbo

#

also a very good source for help and tips:

wise barn Jun 3, 2020, 12:07 PM

#

the thing with (cheap/old) bluetooth headsets is, as soon as the mic gets activated the whole stereo setup is switched to mono. as said, almost no application likes that. you did right by resetting your settings by turning it off and on again.

lunar sequoia Jun 3, 2020, 12:19 PM

#

turning it off and on again.
best tech advice since ever, except with printers.

wise barn Jun 3, 2020, 12:20 PM

#

with printers it's usually threatening to shoot it / throwing it out the window 😄

lunar sequoia Jun 3, 2020, 12:21 PM

#

easiest fix for printers i find i removing the driver and reinstalling them, fixes it most of the time, so not quite the turn off and on scenario 🙂

Hi does anyone know where BI set the code for this "A few (not all) FFV-enabled ground vehicles additionally support granting the passenger the ability to switch to their shoulder-fired launcher. However in order to do so, they must first turn out of the vehicle; doing so raises their clearance but also increases their likelihood of being shot." As I am looking to change the turn out model for launchers and part of its function.

I've tried multiple things I've found online to try and fix this but none of them work

weary sky Jun 4, 2020, 1:57 PM

run Steam as admin, and then run the Launcher from steam. This should fix the issue.

can i get help with an ace medical menu outdated error?

weary sky Jun 4, 2020, 2:25 PM

That is either causes because you, the client, have a different version of ACE than the server.
Or something went wrong with the update, which can be fixed by unsubscribing from the workshop (let it remove from your HD), and then subscribe again.

fringe salmon Jun 5, 2020, 2:26 PM

#

Yes

#

Only on P07

#

I have a profile that I don't want to use anymore, I delete it but it keeps coming back
@fringe salmon nvm forgot to change preferred profile in launcher

steady hawk Jun 5, 2020, 2:27 PM

#

And your P07 always glitched?

#

Like, after restarting, after -FLUSH cheat command

#

It really looks GPU-related issue

#

(as I've ever had similar issue but it occur glitches on every GPU-related applications tho...)

fringe salmon Jun 5, 2020, 2:32 PM

#

I tried other handguns include the green version of P07, no issues whatsoever

#

only happen on the regular P07

#

Weird

steady hawk Jun 5, 2020, 2:32 PM

#

Regular P07, meaning olive P07 doesn't have it?

fringe salmon Jun 5, 2020, 2:32 PM

#

Yep

steady hawk Jun 5, 2020, 2:32 PM

#

Uhh... Tried to verify game cache?

fringe salmon Jun 5, 2020, 2:32 PM

#

Doing it right now

#

and gonna restart my pc after

#

see if it still occurs

steady hawk Jun 5, 2020, 2:33 PM

#

Good luck

fringe salmon Jun 5, 2020, 2:33 PM

#

I don't use P07 a lot, so I'm not sure if it existed before

#

Yeah I have 1.6 GB corrupted file

#

How did I even start the game with all those missing files

#

Haha. You'd make it happened?

#

(I mean the issue is solved or?)

fringe salmon Jun 5, 2020, 2:55 PM

#

Yep, solved

#

I suspect it's because of some mods I installed before

hard hull Jun 5, 2020, 5:00 PM

#

It just crashed my pc again

wise barn Jun 5, 2020, 5:02 PM

#

i get the feeling that there is way more going on in the background of yours. how about doing a clean swipe and reinstall your OS with latest drivers?

quaint jewel Jun 5, 2020, 5:02 PM

#

battleye on again?

desert isle Jun 5, 2020, 5:02 PM

#

Crashdumps?

quaint jewel Jun 5, 2020, 5:02 PM

#

only battleye should really be able to bluescreen you

hard hull Jun 5, 2020, 5:04 PM

#

I'll disable it launch the game and enable it launch it again

#

That worked last time

errant venture Jun 6, 2020, 12:10 AM

#

I set Callsigns for all squads in Eden, but whenever I go to test them in the Play Multiplayer function in Eden, they just reset back to normal.

#

How do I have them keep the callsigns given in Eden?

errant venture Jun 6, 2020, 12:40 AM

#

(Ping me if you reply please cause its late af and I'm going to bed thanks)

weary sky Jun 6, 2020, 12:46 AM

#

@errant venture If you mean the groups/names in the lobby; that's correct, those are fixed and require CBA and some special unit naming to work.
If you mean during the mission (AI talk), than it should work properly and otherwise you could use group this setGroupIdGlobal ["Whatever"]; in the init field of the group leader.

fringe salmon Jun 6, 2020, 1:08 AM

#

And if you run CBA, you can rename the squad callsigns in the join screen by doing [rolename]@[squadname] in the squad leader's role description in his attributes

errant venture Jun 6, 2020, 10:15 AM

#

Alright, Thanks

I'm back to trying to add/remove weapons to air vehicles

#

I've been trying every combination I can imagine to alter a ghosthawks door gun to no avail, I can figure out the turret number but not remove the ammo/gun or add a gun

delicate elm Jun 6, 2020, 8:41 PM

#

Are you missing a ]?

fading pulsar Jun 6, 2020, 8:41 PM

#

Not that I'm aware of, I had added and removed a few times to see if I just suck

delicate elm Jun 6, 2020, 8:42 PM

#

In your picture you are...

fading pulsar Jun 6, 2020, 8:43 PM

#

The picture doesn't represent every combination I've attempted

delicate elm Jun 6, 2020, 8:43 PM

#

Okay... NP, you just posted the one with the syntax error...

fading pulsar Jun 6, 2020, 8:44 PM

#

There's also the slight niggle of removeMagazinesTurret vs removeMagazineTurret 😉

#

It appears my debug console is responsible

#

I've managed to remove both guns ammo this time albeit not in the expected way

delicate elm Jun 6, 2020, 8:47 PM

#

Epoch Mod has working functionality in it to add/remove magazines to a vehicle's weapon that uses sqf _vehicle removeMagazinesTurret [_ammo,_turretPath];without issues

fading pulsar Jun 6, 2020, 8:47 PM

#

Perhaps I should swap from Exile to Epoch :kappa:

delicate elm Jun 6, 2020, 8:48 PM

#

Nah, but you could check out the code... https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch/blob/release/Sources/epoch_code/compile/vehicles/EPOCH_vehicle_removeTurretAmmo.sqf

#

I myself have looked at how Exile does stuff at times despite being an Epoch fanboi 😉

#

There's another script there to add magazines too

arma 2 ultra - zargabad - 60 fps /// arma 3 standart - zargabad - 30 fps

#

what to do

#

how to fix low fps

weary sky Jun 6, 2020, 11:19 PM

#

Don't touch graphic settings 🤣

fringe salmon Jun 6, 2020, 11:23 PM

#

:(

#

I also cant play on 1366x768 on lowest

#

but I could on arma 2

weary sky Jun 6, 2020, 11:27 PM

#

Arma 3 is way more demanding, and simply using the outo detector gives the best results.

fringe salmon Jun 6, 2020, 11:28 PM

#

ok :/

weary sky Jun 6, 2020, 11:28 PM

#

And even the terrain got a massive upgrade, so not comparable

fringe salmon Jun 6, 2020, 11:28 PM

#

no I'm playing with all in arma

#

its not cup

weary sky Jun 6, 2020, 11:28 PM

#

Although disabling PIP will give you some extra frames

fringe salmon Jun 6, 2020, 11:28 PM

#

so not much upgrade lol

#

ok thank you

weary sky Jun 6, 2020, 11:28 PM

#

So old crap vs optimized for A3...

fringe salmon Jun 6, 2020, 11:29 PM

#

its lite version of it too

#

everything has low res textures

uncut trellis Jun 6, 2020, 11:30 PM

#

Probably there's all kinds of old mod issues there

fringe salmon Jun 6, 2020, 11:31 PM

#

it happens on vanilla too, general low fps :( but I will make sure to try out auto detect as grezvany said
