General Discussion (dev branch)

I hope not. Would personally love this as a feature we can manually add to maps

[Vasily.B 529]

Thats not error, thats feature, snowy tigers DLC incoming! :P

[killzone_kid 1326]

[CaptainAzimuth 714]

That's neat. Though, i wonder what made them think about snow so... early. They're still working on Tanoa, and it sure as hell doesn't snow in the South Pacific. New features are always welcome though... Say, i wonder if we'll ever see the Dynamic Shadows in RV4. Would be a blessing.

Still waiting for Naval Assets

[lexx 1331]

That's not a feature but missing textures.

[Variable 322]

Boats no longer get stuck when contact is made with the bottom! As long as the engine is in the water, the boat will move. That's a great fix BIS!  :627:

I love seeing water insertions getting some love, lately the AI spotting of divers was tweaked down.

[themaster303 22]

wasnt it said someday that there will be an option to disable the extream FOV on high speeds in vehicles. if you use trackir5 it looks so wrong and

its hard to read the hud, you always have to move towards the monitor to see something.

 

i hoped it would be in, but couldnt find any options. i just want to disable these FOV´s ;)

[dragon01 902]

Yeah, the speed-related zoomout needs to go. It's really annoying. It should be related to acceleration, not speed.

[haleks 8204]

 Does anyone have the path to those textures (I'm not on dev)?

I'm thinking it shouldn't be too hard, after BIS fixes it, to reproduce this with a little addon... ;)

the error that shows up for me has the following.

 

a3\map_stratis\data\sky_almostclear_Ico.paa

 

then there's a config error too.

ConfigBin/Draw/3D_colourSimplePreview

 

It's always random, I just opened EDEN and this time there was no "snow"

 

Not sure if this of any help to you?

 

 

It would make me lean towards the sky causing the issue, and not misplaced, or corrupted ground textures, it's kind of cool looking though.

I had these errors too, but on my side "snow" isn't random, it always happen on Stratis.

Yeah same same, but today when I loaded up the screenshot mission, where there was snow yesterday, there was none that last time, up in Camp. Rogain.

[R3vo 2652]

Are the sounds for zeroing sights already ingame? The devlog mentioned that a few day aso, but I cannot here anything.

 

 

 

Edit:

 

Here's a video of the new weapon handling improvments. Pretty neat!

 

[das attorney 857]

Lots of micro-stuttering on the last few builds I've played (inc this one).

[tpw 2312]

138395: Tanoan houses and buildings no longer register when using nearestbuilding, just return null object instead. I figure this might be related to the work on improving visual identification of unenterable buildings. It's a pain in the arse regardless.

That ADS time still needs to be toned down a lot. For example, in Squad it takes about 1 and a half seconds to aim down the sights of an RPG-7. I think that is pretty reasonable

biggest "issue" / deviation from RL is the robot precision with which your guy can "home in" on the optics perfect center/focus point.

It also takes away one of the advantages of Colimator sights, i.e. that their target reticle (at a sufficiently good angle) is always where the target is. Iron sights need to be carefully aligned, a process which is much more error prone and takes more time.

 Thanks for articulating what ive always felt but never been able to verbally pinpoint - its always felt just too easy and unchallenging aiming with modern sights in arma -hence why ive backpedaled to iron Front/Nam as it presents more of a challenge.

Not a big deal! Instead we have that super realistic weapon sway!  

[dragon01 902]

I believe Laxemann (?) had a mod that somewhat countered this. He made it so that it takes a short time to align the sights. 

 

In ArmA3 we usually have collimators on everything anyway, but this (and other Laxemann's mods) could be a good thing to add. For example, a blur, or rather something akin to a momentary dazzle when firing a powerful weapon is a very real thing. Same with ground shaking due to nearby explosions.

[bad benson 1733]

speaking of ground shaking. i noticed that the cam shake on vehicles going by the player is way too pronounced. i'm talking about fast vehicles, yes, but since it's sopposed to (i think/hope) imitate the vibration you feel in your body rather than your head actually shaking, i feel like it should be way more subtle. i like the effect though. so i'm not hating. but atleast half as much would be already enough imho.

*sighs at the mention of weapon sway*

Send from my tablet, so pardon any autocorrect bollocks

Yeah, vibration is not shaking, right now vehicles produce same shaking as explosions from 152mm, or larger caliber. This is why i turned it off.

*cough* That's right. I'd also like to add that "Align" (The mod's name) also adds a continuous, very subtle offset of the sights, next to the initial alignment time. The offset doesn't really matter at most distances but is noticable at greater ranges.
