Task Force Arrowhead Radio

nkey · August 30, 2013

Will the update be ready in the next month?

I think yes, I hope to finish it this month (March). At least we should provide release candidate (because it will required to really accuratery test the mod becase of a lot of users).

Axek/Axyl · February 15, 2002

Maybe later, current not possible due TS limitation.

That's a shame. It's something that I love having in ACRE. (The external speaker operation for most vehicles)

armyinf · February 27, 2013

You talked about vehicle damage, is their anyway to implement that into backpack/ personal radios? That would be amazing.

It's a pain in the butt to implement... and in ACRE1 it was hacked on well after the initial codebase was put together. It isn't in ACRE2 yet, but there is "room" for it in the code base.

We have tried, but for now damage triggers are not activated on backpacks for some reason. We'll see how to deal with it.

tinter · June 24, 2013

Is there a guide to coding with this? For example if you'd want someone to not be able to speak or sound mumbled in certain situations outside those covered in the base mod?

Please wait for next release API, some of things will be implemented.

I am having problems with getting Task force radio working. I am currently playing on a server where all the others task force radios are working except mine. I have tried reinstalling both the mod and Teamspeak. Here is the teamspeak log:

Hi.

Could you provide more details? What is exactly not working? What is your status in TS (click on your nickname to see it in the right top block). What is your nickname in arma?

BTW, admin rights not required.

My_Shortcoming · February 27, 2006

Our community has been utilizing this for our transition over to ArmA3. For the majority it is very very good with a few things we would like to raise;

1) We have members who are hearing impaired and a key to lower all radios volumes, or some hot-keys to change volumes for individual radios, would be a life saver for them as its making it almost unbearable having all the noise through one working ear.

2) There appears to be a slight delay on 3D sound updating when people are talking in local. This is a very minor issue that may have been raised before.

Apart from that, great, great work.

1) Will add to plan.

2) Are you mean slight delay between 3D sound position and visual position? Or if it happens while player talking over radio near you - it is not a bug, but a feature :) (but should be reviewed)

Bamse · January 23, 2014

Amazing mod. We couldn't play without it. Great work and looking forward to whatever the future holds :)

One small comment tho, if you're using TFAR with PlayWithSix and try to use a custom sound pack ... PWS reset the custom sound files on each server join back to default. Although it's not an issue with the mod itself I just wanted to mention it in here if someone else run into this.

nkey: I'm thinking of asking the PWS-support staff if there's a way to work around this. Is this something you'd mind?

Again, thanks for a truly awesome mod.

Not an easy problem... Because PWS hase own code for syncing of TS plugins - I think they don't want to add some additional changes for custom sound packs :) Not sure what I can do here...

Bamse · January 23, 2014

I'll ask them, they might have an unofficial way to solve it ... or something. Worth a shot atleast ;)

Thanks for a quick answer!

nkey, if you want, I can share with you my code/tool for building base64 encoded soundfiles and loading them from inside Arma to TS (via pipe streams)? That way sound mods for beeps, etc, can all just normal Arma config/file patching.

Hello again.

In TS i says i am connected, my status is the same as everyone else on the server and for them it works just fine. The problem is that when i try to speak in direct mode everyone on the teamspeak channel hears me not just those that are close to me. If i press ctrl the radio sound appers but then i just speak with "normal" sound. and can change frequency on the radio and i get all the options that come with the mod. but it just do not work for me.

Hello,

I'm from same community as My_Shortcoming. We have been testing TFR recently and part of our players noticed from slight to 1 second delay on 3D sound positioning to visual position. No it is not delay between talking locally and on radio (this is neat feature btw ;)), but on local only. Easiest way to notice that is when one player is talking next to you and you look around - position of his voice is off compared to his position, but then after second it catches up.

Last issue or rather complain is weird amplitude of voice volume. It seems to drop quickly at some distances from talking player.

Some background: We are quite large community 70-90 active members. Our servers allow us to run missions at 50 fps. We had to switch to DEV branch to play ArmA 3 last and this week because of PhysX cliend side crash (reported and fixed by BiS in DEV and new Stable branch).

Last but not least: thanks for your work, we really enjoy it!

In dev players positions are updated faster - will see how it will works.

Regarding sound curve - I am working on it.

Hm. For some reason plugin thinks you are dead... Have you tried on another TS and game server? Could you try it please? Also, could you try with some another nickname (like superRambo) (maybe there is a TAB character for some reason).
