chortles 263 Posted September 30, 2014 Check the prior page -- pettka already said about a Huron ramp firing position that "we are considering it so it may be there but we are still [inaudible] some issues with that", though klamacz previously told you that "Engine already supports it using animation state ( config param enabledByAnimationSource)", and then that "Engine already supports animationSource checking for animating doors/windows/whatever you want. FFV position can be configured to be enabled only when animation state is finished". While the ramp should be userAction'd just fine (the geometry not following is a separate problem), it seems that the only solution that wouldn't require calling a script (what I think of by the idea of BI being averse to "SQF solutions​") would be to create a separate userAction conditioned on said animation? (That is, checking if the ramp animation's current state is 'lowered', and if so this enablePersonTurret [[1], true].) (klamacz also said that "FFV in turned out turret is currently not supported", but I am not sure whether that has bearing on a ramp or vehicle door since presumably neither would work like a "turn out" hatch anyway in terms of the engine.)

Gekon 2 Posted October 1, 2014 the launcher just needs the ability to recognize "@" folders and put them in the list already. i think DNA said it's planned. i really can't wait. please just finish it so we can stop asking. It's actually a bit more complicated than that. Once we sort out and implement the data architecture to support both workshop & non-WS files, we can do easy things like defining where to check for folders. We are currently working on the former task, but it might take a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tonci87 163 Posted October 1, 2014 The reason why I don´t use the lanucher. What good is it when it can´t detect the folders inside my Arma 3 folder? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mistyronin 1181 Posted October 1, 2014 The reason why I don´t use the lanucher. What good is it when it can´t detect the folders inside my Arma 3 folder? Same here. In fact to me the launcher right now is useless until it will be able to detect the A3 folder in Documents. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
St. Jimmy 272 Posted October 1, 2014 The reason why I don´t use the lanucher. What good is it when it can´t detect the folders inside my Arma 3 folder? You mean that there should be just a tick box to enable mods and not to search manually the folder inside Arma 3 folder? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bouben 3 Posted October 1, 2014 You mean that there should be just a tick box to enable mods and not to search manually the folder inside Arma 3 folder? Not just that. The main problem is that you cannot make individual mod sets with the mod folders. You can only make mod sets with the steam workshop items so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pettka 694 Posted October 1, 2014 It has been explained several times, Task Force Launcher is working on that. We felt that delivering at least possibility to use Steam Workshop first makes sense and that people in here may possibly be able to read the explanation every now and then. Just to add it, you are able to use local mods the same way as before by setting the mod parameter in Parameters part of launcher :icon_twisted: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
St. Jimmy 272 Posted October 1, 2014 (edited) Is it possible to do mod sets wih the -par parameter thing? I tried but I can't get any mod load for me with that so is there something more in that? /I can't really get it to do anything.

CaptainAzimuth 714 Posted October 1, 2014 today i had 50 fps stables on ultra with plane in altis, never i got this fps before last patch, someone has the same result? Not until I get a new PC. Hah, though, I have seen improvements. I can now run full views distance on Altis with Textures, and Clouds on Ultra, everything else on standard. ---------- Post added at 18:32 ---------- Previous post was at 18:25 ---------- On another note, hey BIS, police car for Arma 3 Confirmed? This gave me an idea. If those cars were turned into Off-road scout cars. Have a metal casing build with tough tires. That'd be sexy. Has anyone noticed that when you get in the helicopter, switch to advanced flight model, and take off, that the flight model stays the same, yet your able to see the gauges for the Advanced FDM? Not only that but the animations for pedals and throttle work as well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bad benson 1733 Posted October 1, 2014 It has been explained several times, Task Force Launcher is working on that. the launcher is awesome. i only use that to start arma now. it just needs that one feature to be finished. i just try to keep bringing it up so the DEVs know that it's needed and anticipated.

Brisse 78 Posted October 1, 2014 The current launcher is somewhat useful, but there's room for improvement and I'm sure the devs are already working on the features I feel are missing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

twisted 128 Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) , the launcher is awesome. i only use that to start arma now. it just needs that one feature to be finished. i just try to keep bringing it up so the DEVs know that it's needed and anticipated. Agree, though in the last couple version I keep losing steam afford and end up having to re-download 700MB each time . so now I use just adding manually added. Which is ironic as this defeats the very thing task FORCE launcher is working on. Maybe the task force can stop add-ons being forgotten after updates? And yes the ability to pick add-on folders more easily would be very welcome. See spirited machines launcher for a real nice way to do it.even simply choosing them manually then being able to use TICK boxes to activate then when needed would add a lot of functionality.

twisted 128 Posted October 2, 2014 I believe this is already there. no it isnt friend. i double checked. But perhaps i am being unclear. currenlty addons chosen in steam workshop are tick boaxble. but addons you pick from the paramaters section and you can manually pick you mods which are then listed as text only one after each other much line as in the commandline. i was suggesting that after manually picking those mods in the parameter section it'd be nice to actiavte them using tick boxes.
