tortuosit 485 Posted June 28, 2015 (edited) Hi TPW, not sure if it is on your side. The option to auto add tactical glasses is turned on. (tpw_hud_addtac = 1;) -> When I am on a quad bike, I regularly get the tactical glasses back to my nose. About every minute. I drop them. And I get them back after a while. Is that your mod? Will it adversely effect my campaign? I'd prefer to have random skirmishes break out on my map, however I don't know if it will cause any conflicts in my current campaign. My current campaign is "Hunter Six - Special Operations Unit". No, you shouldn't play well thought out missions/campaigns with tpw_skirmish. Maybe troops which are spawned by tpw_skirmish may engage the campaigns units and change the intended outcome. Or they may destroy units/assets which are important for the mission... etc etc Edited June 28, 2015 by tortuosit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tpw 2314 Posted July 2, 2015 Hi everyone. Just to let you know that I'm not actually dead, and to thank Gliptal and others for answering questions and keeping the vibe going whilst I've been on sabbatical. I've taken a sideways step into racing sims (Assetto Corsa, Project Cars and Dirt Rally) for a while. Interesting to compare the development process, developer feedback and community support with other sim software. Basically it really makes me appreciate what we have here with BI and their forum. I've actually been doing a little bit of work to work around the completely borked and still unaddressed ambient animal problem. Basically by removing and respawning animals before their @#$&ed FSMs stop animating them, I can keep ambient chickens and goats from turning into statues. Sheep and dogs are still not animating properly, but at least their FSMs don't seize up altogether. I will probably do a small maintenance release soon. From my point of view Arma3 is still in too much of a flux state to consider extensive code improvements or revisions, especially as animations seem to be a moving target.

pvt. partz 248 Posted July 2, 2015 @TPW. Everything besides animals works great and I can certainly live without them. Arma 3 is still maturing so I would not bust your *&^% any harder than you do until the game updates calm down. We don't want you or any other mod-makers to get dejected and throw in the towel. That would be a loss! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
froggyluv 2130 Posted July 2, 2015 Man playing campaign with ambient vehicles set to high is just a blast -really gives the added unknown element with civilians crashing, running over and just causing general mayhem, in a mostly 98% fun way. If BI refuses to add civilian population for upcoming titles im at a loss for words. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flv*venom* 83 Posted July 2, 2015 Hi there! Nice to see that you're still with us tpw :D one Thing though: you mentioned the problems with animals, what kind of problems do you mean exactly? That they spawn underground? (you can see only shadows on the surface)...because, since the last patch everything works as it should for me...dogs, sheeps and chickens running around as they did a couple of versions back...or do you mean something else? Oh and! I still haven't thanked you for giving certain csat guys' helmets the hud. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh and! I still haven't thanked you for giving certain csat guys' helmets the hud. :) You're most welcome! Ambient animal behaviour has been borked in the following ways for many months: Goats: walk around normally for 10 sec, then freeze Chickens: same as goats Sheep: run full tilt everywhere, no grazing Dogs: don't seem to move, only display animations for sitting, stretching etc Snakes: wiggle normally for 10 sec, then freeze Personally I think ambient animals are important for immersion. On the feedback tracker the problem has been reported and acknowledged several times but obviously is prioritised very low. Maybe BIS just wants us to use our imagination to pretend that they're there, same as we have to imagine house furniture, females, inland water etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baleur 10 Posted July 7, 2015 Sorry for a potentially idiotic question, but i havent played Arma 3 for quite a while (last time i played it, the first DLC just came out). Many changes to the game, and many mod updates later, i now notice that after i jog for 5 minutes, my character becomes SO utterly fatigued that he cant move at anything than a snails pace, literally. Laying down to rest, literally sitting idle for 2 minutes, does not help. I just had a "fun" mission where i had to walk back to my jeep 900 meters away, at about 1 meter per second. Not joking. Is this intentional? Is this part of vanilla Arma 3 now or is it something in this mod? Which files / what config line do i edit to get rid of it, thanks. I tried chaning the animation values in the bottom of the config files to their default, but didnt seem to make a difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

heyvern69 22 Posted July 13, 2015 Is this intentional? Sad to say, yes. It is intentional. :( If you're ok with using mods, there's a mod to remove that "fun" fatigue problem. Just google search: Drifter's Fatigue Remover It's on armaholic, so you can download it there. -V Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

-lordsoth- 15 Posted July 19, 2015 Hi, can anyone help with setting up TPW civs, cars & park to work with Leight's OPFOR mod? I have had a look in the TPW core.sqf and it appears that the classnames have changed or are different to what Leight has on his forum. I have tried changing the vehicles to the Leight's ones and also the civs but cant seem to get it working. Any help will be most welcome. Fall back will be to use CAF as that still appears to work out of the box with TPW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

badlucky1776 3 Posted July 20, 2015 Hey TPW, I am experimenting with using the custom enemy string in skirmish and was wondering if Skirmish supports wildcards of any kind. For exampe I've got Massi's russians that both have defining parts of their unit type/functions at both the beginning and end of their classname with a bunch of subcat stuff in the middle O_mas_rus_Soldier_R_F_wn O_mas_rus_Soldier_SL_F_wn O_mas_rus_soldier_M_F_wn O_mas_rus_soldier_AR_F_wn O_mas_rus_Soldier_SL_F_dn O_mas_rus_soldier_AR_F_v The "O_mas_rus_soldier" denotes the general russian solder and works fine in Skirmish. But the "wn" part is specifically winter gear so no matter what map I put them on I have winter equipped Rus Soldiers. "Dn" is desert, "v" is jungle etc. I've used * and % as wildcards like "O_mas_rus_soldier*v" in the enemy unit string. These keep getting dumped and replaced with CSAT standard opfor. Is there a wildcard that works? B Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gliptal 25 Posted July 20, 2015 If I remember correctly, you don't use wildcards but simply write the common substring to all classes, such as "O_mas_rus_" in your case. Yay! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
badlucky1776 3 Posted July 20, 2015 That doesn't help...I wind up with jungle, winter, desert equipped forces on every play. The way some people write these the defining portions are at the beginning and end of the unit strings. I can't define all Jungle units "v", unless I lock down the entire string, but then I stuck with all Machingunners "M" or all Automatic Riflemen "AR" B Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
