Iron Front as mod in Arma 3

[Gunter Severloh 4065]

Low textures are because of the Lite version, full version wont have low textures, your best bet is to do manual install imo, and you need that @IF folder,

you may have the @IF Lite version idk but if your getting low textures on soldiers and such that can be your reason.

[miketim 20]

I dont get low textures on any soldiers as far as I can tell, its only specific stuff weirdly... I will try the manual install when I can. Thank you.

[dr death jm 117]

grrrr .. copyed all files to Linux server but no go ... and I went in arma3 and only found 1 server... if anyone knows how to get this to work on Linux server ... ill put it up....

HI Guys, thanks for the mod!

Question for Steam version of ARMA-3-IF Mod; I have everything installed and working properly, as there were no error messages during any of the installs. However, during the D-Day opening mission the plunger and one explosive disappears when I try to equip. Just wanted to make sure this is an issue with the mod, and not my install...not much mention of it except on page 104-105 of this thread (roughly).

Same thing with the German campaign mode (ENG); I can get to the mission where it opens up with you in the back of a truck and towing a PAK...although no Pak model appears and I can't move it into position when the time comes. Is this also a mod error?

One more question; assuming the campaigns and official missions are porked for now, where do I place the mission files (I play SP only for the moment)? I downloaded a few from Steam Workshop (Blitzkrieg) but it defaults to normal ARMA-3, not the IF mod. So I DLed a few mission, but no readme so I have no idea where to place the .ifa files.

Thanks in advance guys!

I downloaded a few from Steam Workshop (Blitzkrieg) but it defaults to normal ARMA-3, not the IF mod.

You should still be able to locate the mission ingame and play it, just make sure you have IFA3 and required mods running when you start the game.

So I DLed a few mission, but no readme so I have no idea where to place the .ifa files.

Cant answer your other questions, probably bugs in the missions themselves, but the .iFA files are vanilla Iron front mission files, those missions are Arma2CO versions not Arma3,

so you wont be able to play them unless you have the IFA2 version of IF.

Also if you want to play those missions that are in the .IFA format then you need to rename it to .pbo as Arma2CO cant read .IFA, only vanilla Iron front can.

[drdetroit 77]

Thanks for the heads up Gunter! Much appreciated.

Is there a way to get the Blitzkrieg mod working with the IF mod instead of ARMA-3? When I select that mission, it starts with ARMA-3 and those models...is there something I'm not doing to start in IF? It's a SteamWorkshop mission mod, so not sure if it needs to go into a different mission folder to get it to start in IF?

How about the D-Day and Iron Front Campaigns; are they still broken? I just can't get that damn detonator/plunger into my pack and there is no PAK behind my truck in the Eastern Front campaign (2nd or 3rd mission).

Thanks again!

DrDetroit

[dr death jm 117]

I need some help, I have arma3/IF patched working ok, I took the addons and ported them to Linux sever ./tolower

now what do I need to do next to get the server up and running, is there any arma3 files in Linux that I need to change? besides mod= ?

Im planning on have this a3/if mod running on server 2/4/7.

[ugopierini 11]

Installed with play with six, but i'm not sure it's completely installed. The game starts without errors but all the mod interface is the same of arma 3 (not iron front interface) Is it correct?

correct?

yes vice versa is a problem only CBA shows the logo

[drdetroit 77]

If you can go into the editor and successfully add a unit without error's, then you know it's installed correctly.

I finally got mine working via manual install, although the IF campaigns are porked and you will not get past the first mission or two (can't use the detonator during D-Day landing and there is no PAK during the 2nd-3rd Fatherland mission). But the add-on missions are really well done and worth the price of admission. You can get them from the Steam Workshop.

Good luck!

DrDetroit

[dr death jm 117]

is no one running this on Linux server? I get to the point I can start but maps don't load and I got back to select mission...

[ugopierini 11]

Tnx editor works without errors. Same problem here with campaign and dday mission.

[FOX Dome 1]

hello guys, First Thx for your hard work on this mod, and keep up the good stuff :cool:

Anyone else has strange Animations when using an M1 Garand rifle? (is it a Bug or did i something wrong on the install?)

Sorry for the late replay everyone - our whole (very small) team was very busy with different projects,

non modding work but also work for IFA3. :p

@ Gilb

Olds is helping us to move to his RAM system.

We would drop large parts of the scripted system by IF as a result and as such

basic compatibility with other mods would be given and great if they also use RAM.

Check the wiki please:

For the server you just download/upload the LITE package and IFA3SA LITE.

[wansec_6 200]

Hi Kju. Not sure if this has been raised before. When using Iron Front, I am only able to throw IF grenades. Vanilla grenades and those from other mods will drop to the feet of the character you are playing when you attempt to throw them. Could you have a look into this? Thank you.

Does this mean parts of the tanks and cars not falling off like in vanilla if or the turrets not blowing off?

I would hate to lose that.

thanks for all your guys hard work!!!!

I had same problem and got a lot of errors in france this and france that file when updating. When i selected the right update file(steam in my case) it worked(almost still had 3 errors).

I see you have tried both digital/steam version, maybe something is screwed up in your dlc installation!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I really like this game but the first thing i noticed is that the weapon sounds are quite poor. The first sound i heard and really disliked was the garand empty clip ejection sound, it is really bad so i decided to change it and this is what i ended up with(first original sound then new sound):

If anybody is willing to help me make a sound mod then send me a pm.

Hi Kju.

about my Anim bug it was a Sound mod (@san6) that caused this ....

Do you mean the arms? I fixed it in the up coming A3 version of the mod.

[Wilco 944]

Santa Six: I'm sure that's the one he was talking about, I've experienced that too. What exactly caused that?

Also, is anyone running JW Custom's mission on their server? I'd like to swing by and throw down on some play time.
