R3vo 2654 Posted June 16, 2016 You can do that already. :) Change it to whatever you want. https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Main_Menu Unfortunately QuickPlay, a feature that I personally will never ever use, is hard coded. Would be nice to be able to point that to Recent Servers or whatever you have Favorited there instead. (Editor is hard coded too, but that's just fine heh) I know, I even wrote that in the screenshot ;) However, I'd prefer not to write a mod for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted June 16, 2016 The latest dev change log is the little splat icon in the bottom right corner just click on the version. Yup, but it still open your web browser so it's not especially interesting. Opening Steam browser would be a little bit better, an internal window would be even better. --EDIT 1 : Ok, i admit that it's not actually useful to have this. --EDIT 2 : will other menus (e.g. list of single player mission) be overhauled too? Top and bottom bars could stay in place, and only tiles part would change. Bad Photoshop : Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would be nice to be able to point that to Recent Servers or whatever you have Favorited there instead. (Editor is hard coded too, but that's just fine heh) Quote from the above link : "World scene is a scenario shown behind main menu when a specific terrain is loaded. If you're playing on Altis and leave to main menu, Altis scene will be used." This feature currently doesn't work on dev branch - it loads a black & white sat image when returning to the main menu from any terrain but Tanoa. Makes it impossible to test custom scenes. :( EDIT : nevermind, the above was caused by my own mistakes. Looks like I need to define a few parameters in the config (like "bin\config.bin/CfgWorlds/Stratis.timeOfChanges"), but those don't seem to be documented?

bek 744 Posted June 17, 2016 re: new main menu UI, the exit button should, ideally, exist in the very top right corner, like every other application ever, so you can click it without needing to aim/point, just flick mouse diagonally right upwards and click. Use those corners, they're prime screen real-estate for that very reason. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DnA 5143 Posted June 17, 2016 I've also been experiencing issues with .lip files There has been an attempt to optimize the LIP system, which seems to have worked for short files, but not long ones so far. It's being investigated. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tortuosit 486 Posted June 17, 2016 I wish we could directly open an editor mission from the main menu. Also the file-open window for opening editor missions could be bigger. ArmA could do much more here. It could offer the PBOs in A3\[MP]Missions for opening in the editor as well. I.e., ArmA would support the user more: de-pbo to temp mission (how many users know how to de-pbo?) and open it in editor; then if user clicks "save" -> "save to temp plus export to pbo and overwrite old pbo" - "save as" just as it is now.

haleks 8212 Posted June 17, 2016 I am so confused; I've been trying to make an alternative scene for Stratis as per this guide : https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Main_Menu But all I have is error messages when loading Stratis or going back to the main menu from stratis. Either I or the guide missed something... EDIT : Ok so the errors were caused by a simple inheritence problem; but I still can't get Stratis to show : Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Freghar 73 Posted June 17, 2016 It seems that the number of items you carry significantly affects FPS, which I haven't observed earlier. With 86x 9mm pistol magazines, the FPS as measured by BIS_fnc_fps drops by ~4 (on the VR map) compared to no gear. If you add ie. 10000 SmokeShells via setUnitLoadout, the FPS drops by ~30. Don't know if this is expected (something calculating weight for all items every frame), but it's much more pronounced with some modded items (like ACE3 medical) in much smaller quantities (~400 total = ~50 FPS drop). As far as I can tell, this seems to be on 1.60 as well, was this always the case? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2nd ranger 282 Posted June 17, 2016 Added: Hex and Green Hex variants of CAR-95, CAR-95 GL, and CAR-95-1 Nice, they look good. On a somewhat related note; using the GL sights of the CAR-95 while wearing hex fatigues causes something to block your view. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haleks 8212 Posted June 17, 2016 Well that stinks...This could be a huge performance gain if they fix that...no? Has someone reported this? Or will you? I'm not sure it's glitch per say - Arma ain't no loot farming simulator and most missions won't spawn thousands of items. Besides, scripted solutions exist, like waiting for a box/inventory to be opened before actually spawning items. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tortuosit 486 Posted June 17, 2016 If this is true I think I'm entitled to a refund. I'd really hate getting used to all the other military simulations and learn their scripting languages. All the milsims which offer the same features like ArmA. I think I'd struggle to decide which one to use. Back OnT: Yeah, rendering inventory items in 3D, even though you do not see them, stinks, I hope there can be something done about it. Some slightly related problems: ArmA rendering underground building models (with destroyed model over ground). ArmA rendering scenery which you cannot see, e.g. behind dense foliage. Especially worth mentioning in Vietnam maps, or Tanoa. But I don't know if both cases have been improved. 2nd one especially after Tanoa has been released... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Antilochos 106 Posted June 17, 2016 Yeah, disable ALL mods, they need to be updated.

tortuosit 486 Posted June 17, 2016 And of all the addon makers who "HAVE" been keeping their mods up to date, should they be equally made to re write all their configs, for being smart enough to keep tabs on their addons? It's a catch 22, it's NOT BiS responsibility to make sure their configs are in line with the modders, it's the other way around mate, it sucks I know, as many addon makers have dropped off the radar, so their addons will throw this "author" error, and as you have stated, it can adversely effect the game stability. BiS are damned if they do, and damned if they don't, and addon makers with this error are oblivious to the issue, if they're no longer around. Todays changelog.
