hey I have a problem.
not sure if I was supposed to recieve one but got sent a steam key by nillers thats apparently already been activated.

trim hare
#

DMed him yet?

#

That should be the fastest road to solution, he should be up in like 8 hours.

queen schooner
#

just did thanks

#

just to be sure is there any way to prove I'm not just trying to shill for a 2nd key?

quick sleet
#

Isnt there like some page where its showing all the keys which are activated with your account?
Obviously its not public and could be faked, but..

#

Better than nothing?

tiny pier
#

doesn't really help if he gave it away to someone who didn't owned the game yet, and now still doesn't πŸ˜‰

quick sleet
#

Oh well, I clearly lack the imagination to be a scammer :s

tiny pier
#

I doubt that Sanchez would scam BI for a second key, and since BI can give away as much keys as they want, I don't think it will be an issue to give out a second key (even if it would be a scam).

queen schooner
#

I'd just like to keep my bases covered

#

When is the next contest?

wanton halo
#

Contest's been over for two months. Bohemia hasn't announced any plans (as of yet) to have another AoW-style contest.

tiny pier
#

Last contest (before AoW) was the "Make Arma Not War" contest, when the game got released... so I doubt any more contests will follow, at least not for Arma 3.

elfin sapphire
#

I would imagine the Steam key for BI's catalogue can be given to someone who would benefit from it? (I already own all BI has to offer...yes even Arma Tactics!)

trim hare
#

Giveaway on twitter? Should ask Nillers first to be safe, but I don't see a reason not to

pure lance
#

Oh duck why didn't I think of that! I already have all the games I want and was planning to giveaway the AoW price dlc but I used the key the second they sent it. Would have been much more valuable to someone who didn't have whole catalogue

trim hare
#

Maybe you can get a second key :u

@solid pike Are we permitted to give away the Steam key that was given as part of the prizes?

wind axle
#

it's your key, you can do with it whatever you want

elfin sapphire
#

I guess so, no harm in asking given I'd like to give it away here on the Discord. (I'm not on Twitter anymore)

queen schooner
#

you can give it to friends but cant sell it of course

wind axle
#

nobody would ever know

elfin sapphire

who mentioned selling it? all my posts have stated I want to give it away

customs declared that i havent won any contest, now i have to pay 500 bucks to get the prize

What's everyone hoping to see in the Art of War DLC?

fervent spruce
#

It'll be interesting to see what the BI 3d artists cook up for us

trim hare
#

Isn't all the content already out on dev branch?

fervent spruce
#

Is it?

trim hare
#

Dunno

flint orchid
#

They would have announced it.

fervent spruce
#

heh Dedmen is a bi dev

trim hare
#

But a the contest winners are announced right? So you know that that stuff will be in

fervent spruce
#

so you're talking to 'they' at the moment

queen schooner

he means the 3d stuff that got taken over by BI devs

fervent spruce

Ah. Good to know

fervent spruce

Would've almost leaked that there will be a gallery that will show off the contest winners content

AoW is funny tho.
I genuinely had to laugh while looking through the gallery.

#

But I don't know what I would want or expect from it that wasn't already announced

flint orchid
#

Just as long as it's vanilla / 2030's themed...

I'll be happy.

queen schooner
#

just curious what kind of 3D stuff we'll get
some said its just ports from dayz, but I guess its stuff from the same categories as the contest?

trim hare
#

It's a bit different from normal Arma lore, but mainly down to the fact that it's for once not set in a war region.

tiny pier
#

Beanz

trim hare
#

I'm not aware of any ports.
All BI content is scratch made afaik

#

Atleast all the content I remember now

#

People can't say or know it's ports if nothing of it was shown yet :u

queen schooner
#

yeah thats why I though it was something else
but about ports
aren't some livonian buildings from dayz?

flint orchid
#

Yeah, I thought some of them were ripped from Standalone.

trim hare
#

Some livonian buildings are also used on DayZ yeah

#

But AoW doesn't add buildings.
Or, well it does I guess but they are not ports

flint orchid
#

I can imagine the biggest 'f*** you' in the form of the Arma 2 Mi-24 being added lol.

tiny pier
#

OFP models being ported πŸ˜›

trim hare
#

DayZ and Livonia got the models from the same source (Bohemias model repository basically) they weren't taken out of DayZ and put into Arma.
The DayZ buildings were taken from the stash, and the Livonia ones were taken from the same stash

flint orchid
#

Easier for development?

queen schooner
#

well yeah but they were originally meant for DZ SL
unless you started making Contact DLC before SL came out, which is unlikely
its not like porting is a bad thing

trim hare
#

Way more cost efficient too. Why make seperate stuff for every game you develop, when you can share a huge library of content through all games and not have to make the same thing twice

flint orchid
#

Of course.

trim hare
#

Art of War content is afaik all Art of War related.

#

I think Ivan Buchta had a talk about how Livonia came to be. Don't know if it's public, I think it was a GDC talk

flint orchid
#

"We also decided to buff the DLC a bit ourselves with some extra assets befitting the themes."

There ya' go :)

visual jolt
#

Can't remembah, I think I realized the Livonian fact because of Dedmen?

trim hare
#

What fact :u

visual jolt
#

#

(Just like Proving Grounds, UwU)

#

BTW we have no public (or official) archive for those GDC presentations right?

Ah.

I don't remember what info was in Ivan's talk and what i know from elsewhere so I can't say.

Huh

Maggie (Michaela Polach)27/11/2020
@Mongar23 Sadly GDS doesnt want to share these talks somewhere to emphazise to have our Attendees being exclusive and wanting to be at the talks with the speakers. GDS will upload some highlighted talks on Youtube in a couple of months, but not any time soon. Rewatching them is not possible, sorry

#

Soo maybe, maybe not?

trim hare
#

GDS != GDC.
I think GDC was cancelled right? And GDC talks go up much later

trim hare
fervent spruce
#

maybe that comment only goes for a specific talk

#

but that message is from someone with the organizer role on the discord

trim hare
#

If they really won't upload them, maybe the sources are allowed to give them out. As they were prerecorded.

fervent spruce
#

I hope so, I'd love to see the other talks

#

Man its really weird to see actual in-person talks with lots of people close together in a room, after a year of corona

Yeah

im completely mindblown after watching the video about the creation of livonia

lots of admiration for the effort put into it

#

Do we know if the Art of War DLC will be treated as an official Bohemia DLC (so it requires a mandatory download) or will it be treated as a CDLC?

elfin bison
#

... why would it be CDLC? its made by BI

trim hare
#

Well it is a official Bohemia DLC

flint orchid
#

Well yeah, it's officially Bohemia, but I just wanted to make sure they didn't count it as "Everything after Contact".

elfin bison
#

contact is just extra because its UFO and many dont like UFO (for some strange reason), so its not a default

flint orchid
#

Contact's content is already in the files before you purchase it. You can use the assets like how you can pre-purchase with all the official DLC. I'm curious to see if Art of War will be the same, or like the CDLC. I'm gonna assume it's gonna be a mandatory update.

trim hare
#

contacts alien content that doesn't fit the basegame is seperate

#

the rest is in game

flint orchid
#

I've been able to use Contact's non-alien assets in game.

#

Before I actually purchased the DLC.

odd sandal
#

yes that has been on purpose

flint orchid
#

Of course...

#

But I was just curious to see if Art of War would be treated exactly the same as Contact.

trim hare
#

Art of War has no two part content where one part doesn't fit the base game content/timeline/scenery

chilly lion
#

is there going to be an update soon to the status of Art of war? i remember it was pushed back but haven’t heard much since

trim hare
#

soonℒ️

flint orchid
#

I'm personally delighted to hear that it's all gonna fit in with vanilla.
I completely forgot to mention this before, but this entry specifically has a guy with a blue circular patch and a blue beret to signify that he's with the UN.
https://i.gyazo.com/1c863a188a627c54cb809c92587531f8.png

So you never know, we might finally see some vanilla UN stuff.

fervent spruce
#

blobdoggoshruggoogly I wouldnt take anything from the contest images as hints to what might be included as 3d assets

flint orchid

Ya' never know...

Oh yeah, just seen you're role.

#

I just personally find it fun to speculate.

fervent spruce
#

Thats fair as long as you dont build up expectations through that

flint orchid
#

It kinda depends on how far the AoW team is going into detail in regards to the winners.

#

Just saying that there is a possibility, but we won't know until the DLC is fully revealed.

one of the other 2D entries had exoskeletons so wouldn't take it as hints

Didn't BI say "Early 2021"? So it would probably mean Q1. If not, then we'll probably see something soon.

barren aurora

Depends whether you consider the year to be split in to Early/Mid/Late or just Early/Late. "Early" could include Q2

trim hare

When the RC candidate comes out you'll know roughly when

flint orchid

You could consider early Q2 to be early 2021.

We'll just have to wait and see.

@queen schooner you should invest that time into making a new skybox that is more to your liking

its a bit more complex than that but yeah I'm considering alternatives

well you could also just tell what you are trying to actually do. We might be able to say if you are wasting time or if its possible

oh wasn't just signing you off,I'm just not that confident its possible and also aware that its not the right channel

trying to make a spherical space skybox around a plane thats is of the right size so that its not too small and not too big that it can't be rendered
so if you make one 3km wide, and attach it to a player plane you can make a setting bigger than 3km

anything entering the sphere would clip through it and appear out of empty space

I would still suggest the actual terrain skybox is the way to go

floral tinsel
# mortal willow Is there a reason why CSAT don't have funeral stuff ? Is this political ?

CSAT member states are not very prominently featured in Arma 3's lore (it focuses on CSAT as a whole), whereas US / UK are for NATO. But using the CSAT flag did not feel right either. We also were not sure about memorial / burial traditions in their cultures and had no resources to make special assets to cater to those. So we focused on the NATO factions. These assets should allow reskins though.

#

We looked most closely to existing similar assets (f.e. flag poles) and used their selections as baseline.

mortal willow
#

I forgot the cultural part, that make sense.
Thanks for your answer.

wind axle

yeh using the csat flag would - imo - not make any sense

i didn't check it yet but i hope it has hidden selections :p

it has indeed, so no big deal to just replace the flag with whatever

damn, even has sliders for open/close

whenever I tried making some eastern funeral assets for my mod I never found much info, US military funerals are so prominent in pop culture that they overwhel any search result on the subject

It's a charity DLC (all revenue going to ICRC during its fundraising period) that is the culmination of a community art contest from last year. It also delivers a few new assets on the themes of art and military memorials. We'll have the full website and announcement closer to its release.

Maybe they were considered too specific and not useful enough outside the gallery.

queen schooner
#

nothing is too specific in arma
were it for me I'd create editor entries for every model in the game
even the random terrain rubble like bricks and wires

odd sandal
#

that would make the editor slower and possbily the terrains to work worse

finite tendon
#

The O&T 3den expansion mod adds a lot of, if not all, the objects to the editor. Even effects like fire and tracers and large buildings like the parts of the Kavala hospital. It does not make the editor any slower

#

Great mod, more ppl should know about it. Creates a dependency on missions if used tho

queen schooner
#

yeah I use it a lot, I get that the more stuff you add to the editor the heavier it gets
but I consider the editor a tool, not a game, so I'd sacrifice performance in favor of additions

The main FPS killer in the editor seems to be all the drawn icons and lines.

Can confirm its an available DLC on steam for supporter edition. Cheers πŸ™‚

For those who own supporters edition, you can validate ownership if you right-click Arma 3 in steam, select properties and then go to the DLC tab, you should have a screen similar to this (You may have to restart steam)

if you have the supporters edition, it will be listed

# novel solar so where or how do I find out what edition I have? Where can I check? 2013 is a ...

Another way of finding out which edition you have is to open Steam and then do the following:
Go to your account details (top right drop down menu at your username),
Select Account Details ,
Then select View licenses and product key activations.
You will be presented with a list of every product key/licence you have ever activated on Steam,
Scroll down through that until you find Arma 3 Supporter Edition
If it's not there or a different title is present such as just Arma 3, then you do not have the supporters edition.

Fair enough.

But you can take a picture frame, and setObjectTexture the other paintings onto it

Maybe we should make a steam composition that has all the paintings (with their according texture path)

Supporter Edition was 70 EUR, see this archived page: http://web.archive.org/web/20130228184751/http://www.arma3.com/buy
You would also find your (nick)name in the Arma 3 credits at the end.
I believe around 7000 editions were sold.
In hindsight I think most would agree it was an incredible deal for those who like the game. And we of course are glad for their support and trust! πŸ‘Ό

uncut imp
# floral tinsel Supporter Edition was 70 EUR, see this archived page: http://web.archive.org/web...

Yea it was a great deal on price considering the years of followup support and the free DLC element. (I was expecting maybe 2-3 DLCs at the most, not the dozen or so we have today).
At that time with the general pricing of titles in the game industry being around Β£60+/- for AAA titles, specifically 'ultimate' editions of well known franchises.
To a lot of people at face value it appeared expensive, however if you factor in DLC's pricing and Expansion pricing for AAA titles coming in at just under the retail price of the full game, then with hindsight in mind, purchasing Arma 3 for ~Β£60/€70 was a literal steal at the time.

wind axle
#

reason why i didnt do it is because initially a3 had very little content that interested me. only few sp scenarios and big focus on multiplayer

#

also it wasnt clear how many dlcs there would be. if i remember right, BI was almost going belly up at the time, so it might as well not have any dlc

uncut imp
#

that comes part and parcel with any alpha release of any title, I have participated in a lot of alpha and beta tests of various games over the years from fps titles such as Battlefield to rpg titles such as Final Fantasy and I will say that the Arma 3 Alpha was no different to those, not in content nor functionality.
Anyways we're drifting quite off topic now, so I'll be quiet 😁

Indeed, Art of War DLC will not have a pre-order, so it will become possible to purchase upon release (more info this week most likely). However, even without ownership you can try most parts, especially in Virtual Arsenal.

should be interesting to see it when it comes out

#

been waiting for its release for awhile now it feels like

#

i always try to buy all the dlc to support BI and just to have the full expierence

I think the delayed release was mainly due to the lack of quality entries in the 3d categories, which meant BI had to create the content themselves w/ some of the community entries.

Quality was there, just not the quantity πŸ˜‰

One practical reason to imagine might be a milsim unit wanting to host a promotion ceremony or similar. Another would be a VIP escort scenario or a HVT snatch mission.

Loving the new uniforms!

Little review, buy it, even for 2€ it's worth it, don't expect HUGE gameplay but if you like little things or you want a sweet suit it's worth it, plus it's charity for god sake do some good you bad person, enjoy some art, discover easter eggs, aquire drip from the new suits, remember the fallen, and get a sweet new ride the coffin, you get a neat mission and as always... commit warcrimes.

I ducking love the details they put into the missions. Didn't even expect him to be the cheeve, but I've been combing through the showcases for oddities. Like the officer cult in Steel Pegasus, or the hidden base in Infantry.

#

there was a sleeveless AAF uniform in the cultural property mission... wish that one was added, even if its just a reskin of the syndikat uniform

#

its also good to know i can finally fully blame nato for the entirety of the altian civil war

#

also, great job to the people involved in making that scenario, filled with detail and cool things to see

has anyone had a problem where Arma 3 will stay at loading Config files and if you try to do anything it will crash. I've reinstalled the game verified the game files launched it through arma3.exe and the steam launcher and none of those things worked. This started after the new Art of War patch

Your Arma didn't update, you are still on 2.00

# wind axle you mean the white shirt guy?

yeah, there was quite a few of them, i find that uniform to be very cool for AAF troops as they only have combat shirts, a "non-tactical" would be a great addition to that force

yeh, it was used already in laws of war. @sudden kiln likes it too, i guess :p

Do the officer uniforms have the nametag function?

trim hare
#

no, no uniforms have that?

#

didn't GM has that feature?

trim hare
#

I can only think of setPlate thing to set name on vehicle plates.
But that should only work on vehicles not infantry.

GM could use UV animations and scripted animation source to let you choose the letters on the nametag.

#

GM had some way of putting your name on West German unifirms

iirc its done automatically using your profile name, no?

it is scripted as I wrote above

at 0:32 in the release trailer we see a heli with a nice skin. Is this possible to get?

It's the Ion skin but you have to manually set the texture, it's not available in the virtual garage.

Just wanted to find out what the texture on the user texture props were, but MCC didn't give me that, so...

Hello folks, does anyone know where I can find the id list of the new items (suits, backpacks, etc...) of art of war dlc?
Thanks

You can get in-game. Let me write some codes quickly

They are not on the Wikia sites yet, and I'm at work so right now I can't dig 😁

"getNumber (_x >> 'scope') == 2 and 'aow' in configSourceModList _x" configClasses (configFile >> "cfgWeapons") apply {configName _x}```This code will return every weapons (uniforms and such)

Btw is it correct that one of the loading texts for Amsterdam mentions the 'highest centration of museums'? https://prnt.sc/107qtr3

maybe its just me not being a native speaker, but I think concentration is meant there and googling centration only brought up stuff about psychology

tiny pier
#

Yup, I guess you're right

Also at least in the subtitles the hummingbird you get on in the later part of the mission is referred to as a literal 'little bird' heh https://prnt.sc/107qvvj

why not just look in the config viewer if it is something specific?

spring hollow
#

Because I'm data mining specific stats for analytical purposes. I been doing it manually with lots of fancy Notepad++ stuff, but if I could do it all in a 3 line command even better.

fervent spruce
#

btw is the art of war stuff pbo'd or ebo'd? as in can I go poking around in the AoW mission to figure out how it works?

mystic root
#

EBO currently

fervent spruce
#

I was hoping to go look at how they turned the turrets of the tanks so nicely

wind axle
#

turn the tank into a simple object and then use animate script commands

# 
this animate ["maingun",rad -10,true];```
#

this is the kuma

fervent spruce
#

oh that work? cool

trim hare
#

then just attachTo it to a pole and scale it down :3

Hello guys

#

anyone does have the uniformmodel config line of the parade uniforms? I'm trying to do a config mod retexture, but I can't do without it (and considering the pbo is blocked)

odd sandal
#

you can use ingame config viewer or the new configDump command to get the configs

fierce cosmos
odd sandal
#

I believe there are instructions online

fierce cosmos
#

do you have any links to it?

#

btw configviewer doesn't work for that

#

Impossible. Config Viewer will always work

fierce cosmos
#

it just gives me the suitpack model

visual jolt
#

You're looking to the wrong place. Uniform models are in CfgVehicles

odd sandal
#

@fierce cosmos you should check out the character encoding guide to understand the character and uniform item relationship

fierce cosmos
#

for some reason, it gives that model (probably im in the wrong way again)

Hey guys, not sure if these people are reading this but I really enjoyed going around the gallery. Kudos to the devs and community artists!

crystal tiger
#

hey, I was wondering about the statistics on drone strikes in the gallery, they say they are similar to stats from 2020, or something akin to that. Is their any particular source or website used for those statistics? I'd like to see them myself

solid pike
sudden kiln
# solid pike This might be a question for <@!720224460057084024>. πŸ˜…

They are indeed based on real-world 2020 statistics - trying to remember now if I factored in the expected growth and usage of drones on the battlefield in our 2030s setting or not. I'll see if I can find what I used as a guide. I remember it being an infographic of some sort, that I used as a reference. πŸ™‚

ah, thank you very much!

I'll look as well based on that info

sooo whats with the sniper on the church?

bleak hedge

Sun Tzu is very mad that a DLC using his trade marked title results in a FPS performance decrease for some players, basically I can confirm via Yet Another Arma Benchmark that I personally lost ~5 FPS while most players on my Unit lost anywhere from 2 to 10 FPS while none gained any extra.

Check your old Yet Another Arma Benchmark score compared to the new one

trim hare

Yep. I had people report they got more fps now with the update

wind axle

i dont have an old benchmark score

#

what changed that we would see more fps?

trim hare

script performance in general.
Profiling branch has AI pathfinding stuff.
and some general stuff

bleak hedge

πŸ‘† me and my 8+ clansmates did not get any of that! I will post a screen of my Benchmark (old and new) when I get back home

Mine are higher than before. And especially the latest performance and profiling builds are very good performance wise (btw, YAAB doesn't show the main version number correctly but still uses 1.0x)

is there any way to open the museum mission in eden?

I think it's still ebo's right now, so you can't yet. once they get decrypted as pbo's, you can just unpack the pbo with the mission in it and load it up in eden. just like any other mission

It's pretty easy to get script file via in-game command, loadFile

wouldn't I need to know the file name?
also I doubt it takes into account init boxes

You'll need the file name but easy to get also

Animation for Land_MobileRadar_01_radar_F?

In Arma3 BI asset page https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/createVehicle/vehicles The building Land_MobileRadar_01_radar_F has a note: Radar_Rotation = user. Does it mean that there is a way to animate the radar and make it rotate?? anyone knows what line code would be needed in the objects init ...

queen schooner

so I could jumpstart it myself with scripting?
I could use diorama animateSource ["///",1e10]
I'd need to know the name of the Source though

was it Drum?

calm jay

1e10 is not working - that's the point of the message

queen schooner

oh sorry

calm jay

animateSource ['Rotation',1e6-1,0.3]

0.3 is speed coef

oh I see
and yeah "drum" was the named selection so it shouldn't go there
thanks for the quick answer

teal wyvern
#

So in the end of cultural property || when the destroyer comes sailing in|| how did you do that?

fervent spruce
#

Not a dev, but I imagine its using attachTo or something similar

queen schooner
#

there are many ways to move stuff in arma

fervent spruce
#

attachto with pre-captured route for a boat or something like that to drive along

queen schooner
#

there is also script that I use to move stuff around

#

works better for straight lines like in that boat

wind axle
#

keyframe system

queen schooner
#

oh right
always forget about it because it doesn't work in MP

floral tinsel
#

Indeed and I wouldn't recommend using this approach outside a linear SP scenario. For example, you may find the original destroyer also at its original init position out at sea hehe. Basically the script that glues the destroyer parts together and key frame animation are fighting each other πŸ‘Ό

queen schooner
#

yeah I always had to spawn with console commands the individual Destroyer pieces, align it by hand and then move it by script/attach to

fervent spruce

hey peeps whats the right way to attach something to a diorama base so it also turns?

queen schooner
#

@fervent spruce are you on a dedicated server?

fervent spruce
#

nop

in that case its easier

this attachTo [diorama,[0,0,0],"drum", true];
in the object init
and remember to give the diorama the "diorama" variable name and a rotating speed from the attributes

thank you very much

#

there are 3 packages on steam for art of war DLC:

  1. for 1.99€
  2. for 4.99€
#
  1. for 9.99€
#

whats the difference ?

#

Money goes to charity

#

higher price option == more money to charity

There's no difference other than the price, what Dedmen said

When will we hear how much money was raised for the ICRC via this DLC?

#

when the dlc becomes free I guess

#

Remember that all of our revenue from this DLC will be donated to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), and that after a fundraising period of about 10-12 months (also shifted), it will become free to all players. We'll update you with specific dates closer to the release.
