Task Force Arrowhead Radio

[disco.modder 116]

quick question: if I wanted my unit to not automatically get the backpack radio at mission start, how would I go about doing that?

You can either set it globaly by editing the radio_keys.hpp in your userconfig folder. Here you have to set "tf_no_auto_long_range_radio" to 1. Or you can do you it for each mission by placing the "TFAR - Enforce Usage" module and set "Give team leaders a long range radio" to "No".

In other news. A small teaser for the new dialogs we might be able to implement some time (very WIPish)

Cant find the tf_no_auto_long_range_radio line in the .hpp mate. Do I have to type it in myself?

You may have an outdated file. I would download TFAR again and replace the userconfig folder with the new one. The first 4 of you radio_keys.hpp should be

class task_force_radio_settings {
tf_no_auto_long_range_radio = 0;
TF_give_personal_radio_to_regular_soldier = 0;
};

hmm.. unless PwS's version isnt up to date then I should have the latest. Ill download latest version manually and see.

How do you set what LR and SR radios everyone (including the public) gets to this preset?

Not sure I understand you...

Hi guys, I have an issue with the mod where everything works perfectly fine... Until I try to transmit. For some reason it doesn't read my caps lock. Before you ask, yes I've made sure the plugin is enabled, and yes I've made sure that caps lock isn't mapped somewhere else haha. Thanks in advance for the help!

Still having this issue guys. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Do you map to a mouse? In TS / settings / options / Hotkeys; you can choose "default" or "keyboard,mouse". To affect your direct input.

[Manglex 10]

I have it mapped to my mouse. Reminder, the only thing now working is when I try to transmit over a radio. I can bring up the radios, I can receive, and do normal speech just fine.

What I mean is, we were able to preset the radio freq. on the server mission side, now we want to change the 'default' radio. Right now if you die or join/spawn in you get the small 2k 7800 handheld, how do we make that the 152 instead? the codes are quite complex and so navigating where to change things can be difficult. Again, our goal is to have everything preset so when we join the server all the radios are already there with the right freq. for ppl.

Do you have tricky gamer keyboard?

[Manglex 10]

I use an alienware tactx keyboard

Probably it uses different scancode for caps lock... Check with http://delphiforfun.org/programs/utilities/KeyCodes.htm and try to adjust userconfig.

What exactly?

[Manglex 10]

What exactly?

Sorry haha. I changed the userconfig to those that the program gave me and I still could not transmit

[Sim.M 48]

new version of TS is out - can we update to it without breaking TFR?

[lordheart 1]

The plugin API version stays the same, so it should be fine to update.

TF_give_personal_radio_to_regular_soldier=true

how does changing that change the default radio?

for Blufor:

BLU_F_personal_tf_faction_radio = "";

or

BLU_F_rifleman_tf_faction_radio = "";

or

BLU_F_airborne_tf_faction_radio = "";

We will try that. Thanks

I've been using ACRE for quite some time now in Arma 3 and have just jumped over to TFR. All I can say is wow! It's way more stable, and personally, I find the radio chatter much nicer. Also really satisfied by the "click" your radio makes, lol. Patiently waiting to see the direct comms sound a little more life-like. Great work.

I keep reading this but from my own experience, I can see (or better: hear) nothing wrong with it. Could you explain?

btw: TFAR is great - easy to set up, runs flawlessly, lots of tools for mission & addon makers... nice. Keep it up! :)

Cheers,
