hcpookie 3770 Posted March 19, 2021 Hello, Could a mod please assist?

Unfortunately, for various reasons, the developers of "Arma 3" had to flag it as "incompatible", so it cannot be used within "Arma 3". You can learn more about what kinds of items are accepted and why certain items are marked as "incompatible" here: http://arma3.com/workshop101 Mods, could someone please explain why this happened? I have received no other notifications in any fashion as to why this mod is now "incompatible"... I just fired up my local copy and it runs fine... help???? 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry to go OT but besides this mod: KA Weapons Pack NEW v4.0 KA Weapons Pack NEW v4.0 - KP Liberation compatible v1.1 KA ACE compatibility KA RHS competibilty Complementary Special Weapons 1.6 Complementary Special Pistols - Version 1.2 Complementary Police Weapons - Version 1.6 HuaJi Helmet HITMAN 47 Pack KA Specially Equipped Pack This was all I could find so far by checking my mods lists. I am sure there are more missing mods. Seems KICKASS and team were targeted. Sad as his gear was awesome.

He got a clean version years ago, and still got taken down from workshop so he uploaded 4.0 with everything in it and it existing on workshop until now be fake reported by some kids, so we know what really happened here.

Unfortunately the moderating team is unable to read every single post, nor do we visit everyday. For this sort of issue, contacting the community manager @Nillerswould be the best course of action. I assume this issue has now been resolved? I suspect your workshop item was removed due to KA been a contributor of the mod. 18 hours ago, Valken said: I hope KA team can offer a clean version of their mods without other content.

Its addons are banned on these forums, as the content is questionable. Perhaps you could alert our community manager of those other mods? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they have a few models ripped, then that is right to remove it. But if there are original content, those should be left alone if the rest of the mods are the "clean" under the established rules. Blanket bans by association such as those to this mod are ongoing signs of bad moderation or lack of attention. Both also needs addressing. If you do not know or unsure, do not do it.

Dedmen 2713 Posted March 22, 2021 Kickass content is mostly ripped. And he has got his mods taken down countless times only to upload new ripped content again. Thus he has been banned from the Arma 3 workshop now (along with other repeat offenders), sadly the Steam Workshop moderation tools were a bit overly agressive and automatically took down mods that KA was only listed as a contributor on, which hit VME unexpectedly. Its fun to read these conspiracy theories though 😄 In DayZ the russian modders say one DayZ modding team hacked into Valve and got access to a workshop admin panel and is abusing it to ban all their competitors. Concerning VME there are theories going around that its China banning mods that they don't like. 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JFXAM 19 Posted May 7, 2021 I have an issue with the mod. ECM or rather, the lack of, causes a script error to pop up every time missiles are fired at aircraft with the pod removed or aircraft that can't even equip it. Error is an undefined variable in expression _ecm, over at the incoming.sqf file. Edit: CBA is loaded. Will test with only vanilla and PLA loaded. Edit 2: Issue still happens with only CBA and PLA loaded. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That has nothing to do with VME, best check with the author of the f15 mod. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
