Holo sight is misaligned and it is a known issue > http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=12558

[Flemdot Jr 10]

i can confirm that there is no shooting noise only explosions

[daze23 1]

can we get "Objects (Lamps)" back into the 2D editor, since they are in the Zeus editor?

[neodammerung 8]

boris;2623024']This is not the same. On your video through the wall can look' date=' in Control tower can go.

Of course, look through the wall - too bad.[/quote']It's because buildings, rocks and trees are simply not there :p (it also happens with fences & hangar)

Btw does anyone know the related feedback tracker ? I was able to find these :

but nothing general about disappearing buildings/rocks/trees at ~45°

^^ it is indeed bad form this. Come on BIS ... MUST DO BETTER !

[kremator 1065]

Can the module not be placed underground ?

I wonder how many chances, such as 100, that BIS will it all correct? 3-4?

Or as usual, 50 new species of butterflies and guys beating lightning?

:(

Is this bug in the stable build?

Because otherwise being so bitchy about it is pretty unwarranted. This is dev build, if you don't want to do testing get out of this forum section and stick with the stable build.

Edit: Hmm bug reports look like this has affected some objects for a while, odd, never noticed it. But I doubt it was as bad as that video in the stable release.

WRONG

He has every right to bitch about anything he finds in stable or dev branch. The purpose of the devbranch is to find bugs.

Yes, stable build.

[iburnfurbies 10]

It was a nice surprise. They'll likely have mission options to disable lightning spam.

Regardless, great addition. Hopefully there will be more advanced options for dealing with the ai / managing them

The thing I would love to see would be disabling VON in global

[Varanon 892]

I think the main purpose of the tracer module is ambient combat, I.e. you aren't supposed to go near it, really

You can report bugs without being rude. Obviously you were never taught manners.

Dev branch is going to have bugs because obviously it's where the experimental and early work is going to be, getting upset over it introducing issues is just stupid.

I never said anything against finding bugs, really can't see how you'd misunderstand my post that badly. I know very well what the purpose of the devbranch is.

Various weapons, uniforms, vests, headgear and item holders are now placeable in editor and Zeus

Great additions, but could we also get empty weapon holders available to place in the editor?

Off course, that are great additions, but the symbol (magazine crate ?!) are too large. Could you change that ?

Good catch, I'll adjust that one, makes sense :icon_twisted:

That's going to be used for adding different item by scripting? It seems pretty easy to me to just remove the weapon from holder and place another instead, or is there any other point I am missing? :icon_twisted:

Having an empty one is easier if you just want to place a different item, you can just place the empty weapon holder in the editor and use something like "this addWeaponCargo blahblah" in the init. Just seems easier and much cleaner than having a separate script or manually removing the previous items. Doesn't seem like any real loss to add an empty weapon holder to me :)

Pettka, could this ticket also be looked at/reviewed? http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=17311

Would be a real improvement to us mission makers imo

[james2464 176]

Awesome update today, thanks BIS

they seem to sink in the ground a bit too.

Awesome update today, thanks BIS

So what is awesome about it? Not trolling, genuinely asking. Thank you!

Also, can somebody explain this?

Added: New variant for procedural destruct material

I believe our artists our trying to improve the look of the generic wreck texturing (it was very plain and black). Not sure about the current state of it in today's update TBH :)

One of our programmers is looking at the object culling issue posted in a video previously.

[zimms 22]

That's good news, both of it. Thanks for responding.

Good to hear. Many games are still used to the myth that destroyed vehicles turn plain black instantly after exploding. This is simply not the case. Destroyed vehicles should have some black patches there and there, as shown here

that is great news! i might have actually noticed something already regarding opacity of the damage layer. that one red small truck kept his colours partly when destroyed. but as the poster above me said i'd also go with a less even look. not totally separated patches but maybe a hint of that in the opacity layer. although i'm not sure if opacity is handled procedual or via an alpha channel.

[gliptal 25]

I love you guys at BIS, you truly show how a Dev Team should interact with its userbase.

At the moment I'm not playing the game (both because of performance problems and because there are some aspects I really don't like) but I'm nonetheless happy to have paid for it, and this is just due to how you're working with the community.

I think 90% of game dev teams should learn from you in this regard.

Yay!
