blackout_2022 1 Posted December 18, 2015 Hello all i would love if people could get on board with this and i believe if this works it would bring a lot more players as they style of the game would be a closer dynamic to MM O style game this will happen as of now in 2 phases as BIS is still working on getting mods to be switched without restarting game. OK lets start: Phase one is to make a mission where up to as many players ( numbers are server used specific ) could go onto a home base island EG. Stratus and select mods and mission on island using altered scripts from http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=29895Downloads / Arma 3 / Editing / Scripts / Multimedia Interface System script "credit to Aylas" to send selection to launcher (either BIS PWS or A3 Launcher or a new one of makers choosing ) then final script to signal all launchers to close game and restart game with mods connecting to server which also resets (thinking at this point to put slight delay in clients as server would need to restart and be up for clients to connect ) OK next phase. Phase 2: (this Phase depends on if BIS can get mods to be switch in game ) so in this phase we would use the scripts from above to launch the mods / missions in the game and to have all server and clients add those mods while switching in flight using http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=27261Downloads / Arma 3 / Modules / Cosmos Engine "credit to John Autko" So if there are any that would be able to help make this happen please do thank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kingsley1997 39 Posted December 19, 2015 I don't really know what the benefits of this are? To me it's just a massive headache for a developer and a waste of time for the player... What's wrong with just running the mission on the server normally without having to join a server to then re-launch the game to join another server? This is kind of a waste of time if you ask me.

blackout_2022 1 Posted December 19, 2015 OK 1) immersion in the mod mission selection ( which a lot of people "that i have played with" find a bit tedious. 2) Allows players to set up gear in first person so they can mix and match weapons gear according to there team and not taking time away from ongoing missions 3) Give's team a safe area to train new members prior mission launch ( for new players ) a lot of teams have had new people run with them when they are recruiting whom are just learning 4) "this point kinda work together with point 3" help to learn or how to use add-on controls if any eg: ace tfar etc... 5) and last but not least if ever fully functional with in game mods switching and if possible server selection from base island ( this works if during loading you can switch various servers selected during base mission ) then the possibility of making it into a proper mmo environment which will bring extra players that like that genre All in all i just want to bring this all to life to make mission / mod selection more fun for those that are not selecting and have to wait while the team works it all out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kingsley1997 39 Posted December 19, 2015 I still think this is a rather pointless endeavor ( not to squash your creativity :) ). Most people who play with mods tend to just run those mods with a group and play missions on a scheduled basis. For new players downloading mods and joining missions/servers it will be made a lot easier in the coming Arma updates such as Apex and Eden. The new server browser will allow you to subscribe to mods on the workshop and join servers with those mods and also when you join a server with mods you don't have, it will download them for you.

blackout_2022 1 Posted December 19, 2015 I just honestly think if this is done it give a lot of opportunity for various outcomes to the future of the way arma is played or at least i can hope but thank you for the input ( and there are alot of other reasons i would like to see it work maybe one day a full on arma MMO server would pop up and it would be nice to have the client server stage where teams group up and then go to various islands on the host server to play with other teams that randomly connect or against and a in game way to browse such features but hey as i said a dream ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
