Task Force Arrowhead Radio

[nkey 35]

hi, just wanted to get some advice on this init. is there anything wrong with this code? about 5 players out of 20 reported that their channel presets were not the same as what they are supposed to be, so they couldn't get on the same net as the team.

i was thinking to change it to the following, is there anything wrong below?

thanks!

Is code on first lines in init.sqf?

[Azza FHI 50]

well, its towards the top. this is the current init with the proposed changes. I am going to be testing it soon, just wanted to make sure that the tfr codes are normal.

Do you play for CSAT? Or maybe default radio classes are setup on server this way.

I'm working with nkey via email to try to resolve this; however, I wanted to keep this thread updated with additional information on my issue and any final resolutions in case anyone else runs into a similar issue

1. I played on a Patrol Ops 3.1 server in a NATO rifleman slot
   
2. Other players on the server had normal behavior (spawn with AN/PRC-152 and can create/carry multiples)
   
3. I'm running CBA 1.07, Shacktac Hud, Shacktac Stamina Bar, JSRS 2.2, Blastcore, and Robert Hammer M4s in addition to TFAR
   
4. I'm not running any other plugins for TeamSpeak 3.0.15.1 (x64) and using default settings and recommended settings by the TFAR setup

Is someone working on a custom key binding for TFR? Now we nees to edit a cpp. File.

I noticed addons can now have their specific key bindings.

[kklownboy 43]

CPP is better than any Custom/ or lame Menu placement for key changes.

[havena 10]

hi,

TFR is compatible with CBA 1.0.8 ? and TS3 3.0.15

cause i have issue, after few min server upload reach 120mbps/140mbps then player lost connection when i try TFR with 40 players...

another question, TFR is compatible with a lot of civilian player with radio?

and a last question, TFR is compatible with Headless Client?

Best regards

CPP is better than any Custom/ or lame Menu placement for key changes.

May I ask why that is? I know you can do a lot more with userconfig files than just define keybindings, but why is a UI system naturally inferior for that purpose?

I noticed that the latest CBA has added new functions for keybindings that expose the settings to the GUI.

One could probably combine the two methods to give people choice.

[Crielaard 435]

I wasn't talking any custom menu placement.

With the latest Arma3, in the configuration menu there is a dedicated section for key bindings. By BIS.

I think it's not lame or custom...it's utilizing Stock Arma3 options.

looks better with CBA 1.0.7 and without custom tbbmalloc...

but always a lot of network use.

TS server must be on the same dedicated like arma3server?

Got one report about high network usage with 120 players, will check that too.

Regarding civilians - should work.

Not sure about headless client, no one reported about issues yet.

Sometimes TFAR generates high network traffic after game start (few seconds), have you tried to wait a little?

TS server just should be possible to process required number of players.

Its work nice with the last github commit (fix for civilian) & cba 1.07

[gundy 10]

I don't think there was a straight answer to this. No, TS and A3 dedicated don't have to be run on the same server machine.

nkey, correct me if I am wrong, but I believe there isn't even any traffic between the A3 server and TS server (A3 server doesn't know about the TS server). All game related related TS traffic will be between the A3 client and TS client.

Yes, exactly.

Hey guys,

my group experienced a problem. We can't get TFAR working on two our missions. One of them is a Domination mission edited by me and the other one is Patrol Ops 3.1 edited by me.

The Problem is: When we talk normal everybody can hear eachother despite that we are miles away. But funnily, the Radios itself work fine.

Everybody has...

- TS3 3.0.14

- Newest TFAR

- Newest Plugins in the TS3 Plugin folder

- The Newest CBA

The Server has...

- Newest TFAR + Userconfigs

- The Newest CBA

The Missions have...

- The TFAR plugin activated

On other missions (not made by my. In fact we tested a standard BIS Mission) its working fine. So I guess its something with the scripts of the missions.

Any Idea what can prevent TFAR from initializing? Is there a way to force the TFAR to initilize in the init.sqf?

I hope you can help me

Many Greetings

Moony

@nkey, I am not sure if this question has already been asked and my apologies if it has, but does the Teamspeak server that people connect to have to be the latest version or higher than the version that the clients are using. I ask this as sometimes when we have multiple connections during missions, some people can hear other people talking normally from the other side of the map even though both the people (more than one sometimes) in question have perfectly working radio's.

Kind regards

[Gilatar 272]

Hey.

I've been having a few problems with TFAR and TS for a while. Hoping someone here knows how I can resolve these.

I use the regular key for radios, holding Caps Lock, and as far as I know everyone can hear me loud and clear through it. The problem is however, when I release the Caps Lock key I'm still talking on the radio even though the bar at the bottom right disappears. To stop broadcasting my voice I have to press my regular non-radio key once for it to disable.

The second issue is not that relevant to TFAR itself, but I haven't been able to find a solution for it anywhere. Whenever I talk on TS out-of-game, use my radio in-game or talk in-game other people's voices lower, so that I almost can't hear them at all while I speak. I figured it might be a Windows setting, so I went to check if the option on the sound control panel was checked, but it has been disabled.

Thanks for any replies or hints in the right direction!

Any TS should work..

Maybe is it because such players are dead to few seconds? You can try to switch to "serious mode".

Try to add into init.sqf:

tf_msNearPerStepMax = 0.04;

tf_msNearPerStepMin = 0.1;

tf_msNearPerStep = tf_msNearPerStepMax;

tf_nearUpdateTime = 0.5;

tf_msFarPerStepMax = 0.07;

tf_msFarPerStepMin = 1;

tf_msFarPerStep = tf_msFarPerStepMax;

tf_farUpdateTime = 8.0;

Hello!

I've been having an issue with TFAR and direct talk in-game. Everything else seems to work just fine, including me talking on the radio. However using my TS PTT key, nobody else can hear me over direct talk. I've tried using different keys to no avail. Any ideas?

[Moon_chilD 200]

Try to search for onEachFrame in mission scripts.[/Quote]

I found a script that uses "onEachFrame" but its commented right now (// in front of it)

(At least in the domination mission. I haven't tried the Patrol Ops now)

That is the file:

// by Xeno
//#define __DEBUG__
#define THIS_FILE "x_perframe.sqf"
#include "x_setup.sqf"

GVAR(perframe_store) = GVAR(HeliHEmpty) createVehicleLocal [0,0,0];
GVAR(perframe_array) = [];

173194 cutRsc [QGVAR(FrameHandlerRsc), "PLAIN"];
// forget onEachFrame. If some addon uses it too one will overwrite the other.
//onEachFrame {call d_fnc_perFrame}; 

// Draw3D does not trigger when main map is open, can't be used for oneachframe
//GVAR(onEachFrame) = addMissionEventHandler ["Draw3D", {call FUNC(perFrame)}];

diag_log [diag_frameno, diag_ticktime, time, "Dom per frame handler initialized..."];

Hm.. Could you check your server and client RPT for errors?

[Gilatar 272]

Is first issue happens always and on all servers?

I think it happens on every server, but since I'm not certain I'll double-check.

I'll come back if I find anything.

Edit: I self-hosted a server just now and tested out the radios. Here's what I found:

After I have talked through a radio TS automatically goes into voice activation-mode. It stays in voice-activation mode until I press my regular push-to-talk button.

I haven't been able to test it on any other server, but I'll make sure to do it sometime in the future and report back here.

Seems to be happening on every server using TFAR.

Nkey, I want to switch TFR server's script to HeadlessClient.

i just need to change :

TasfkForceArrowheadRadioInit - for load server side on HC,

requestradios -> to send request on HC instead of server (change publicvariableserver to HC PV),

serverinit for compatibility with HC (switch "owner" to a getvariable i set on client load with clientID).

true?
