I almost done every step in "Setup Guide" and my server everything work but I still have some little problem about "server.Arma3Profile".

 

Where "server.Arma3Profile" should I copy?
I can't find "Users" Folder in "D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3" so I put "server.Arma3Profile" in "D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3 Server\Users\user".

I sure "thirdPersonView" set 1 but I can't enable third person in game.

@Kraft0824
From the picture you've shown, the "server.Arma3Profile" directory is correct.
Solution that i can think of:
1- Double check your arma3server.exe/arma3server_x64.exe launch parameter. (ex: D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3 Server -port=2302 -config=server.cfg -cfg=basic.cfg -profiles=User -name=user -bepath=D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3 Server\User\BattlEye -serverMod=@Apex -filePatching -autoInit -enableHT
2. change the name of "server.Arma3Profile" to "user.Arma3Profile". (which i can see from the posted picture that this is might be the cause)!

As for the TFAR issue, im not sure if that issue was resolved at the beginning of this thread, but TFAR has changed since its creation that the only need it has to operate is a physical radio object being placed in the players inventory. However, zues placing a box full of these radio works, the radio is immediatly deleted from the Player's radio slot, as well as the radio backpack. Is this just an object whitelisting issue? 
Same goes for ACE, ACE works fine minus the Ace medical supplies, which cant be placed in the players inventory. The ACE settings can be changed so the Framework's down state does not interfere with the ACE down state, but the medical supplies are the most important part of that, as it replaced the normal FAKs with bandages and morphine, which is then blacklisted from the players inventory. Is there a place to change these blacklisted items?

Hey, QS, I tried to get rid of Achilles in the comments, but it didn't work. Can you give me some advice?

you will have to disable the arsenal whitelisting/blacklisting in parameters, in order to use modded gear without further effort/editing.

 

https://github.com/auQuiksilver/Apex-Framework/blob/master/%40Apex_cfg/parameters.sqf#L62

 

change that value to 0.

 

Making use of the whitelisting/blacklisting feature in addition to using modded gear will take extra effort to add those desired items to the respective whitelist/blacklist

Updated to 1.1.4 (Dev Build)

Role Selection System

This update brings us a 'beta' development build, primarily testing a new scripted system to replace the vanilla Role Assignment Lobby with an ingame alternative, alleviating the need to abort to lobby to change roles, and adding a lot of flexibility for custom missions involving changing roles, locking/unlocking of enemy/opfor slots, etc.

More bug fixes and tweaks ahead of the Stable build release

- [ADDED] Parameter option for Ambient Civilians.
- [ADDED] Parameter option for Ambient Animals.
- [ADDED] 2 New buttons to Role Selection menu (Arsenal + Group).

- [TWEAKED] Implemented new command "lnbSetTooltip" to role selection system menu lists.
- [TWEAKED] AI Tank gunners more likely to attack player-occupied buildings.

Hello Quicksliver!I found custom init code not working on respawning vehicle,these are the codes I added on the respawning vehinle:

0 = [
    this,
    30,
    false,
    {this addeventhandler["fired",{(_this select 0) setvehicleammo 1;}];},
    50,
    50,
    -1,
    true
] call QS_fnc_registerVehicle;

Is there any problems with my codes?

In addition,how could I use custom weather in the mission?I want to play some foggy tasks.

Hi, to disable internal weather system, you need to set this variable to FALSE

 

https://github.com/auQuiksilver/Apex-Framework/blob/master/Apex_framework.terrain/code/functions/fn_core.sqf#L558

 

For this block

 

0 = [
    this,
    30,
    false,
    {this addeventhandler["fired",{(_this select 0) setvehicleammo 1;}];},
    50,
    50,
    -1,
    true
] call QS_fnc_registerVehicle;

 

"this" is not recognized in that context (the { ... } is called from another script, not editor init field).

 

you need to change it to _this

 

so this block would be correct:

 

0 = [
    this,
    30,
    false,
    {_this addeventhandler["fired",{(_this select 0) setvehicleammo 1;}];},
    50,
    50,
    -1,
    true
] call QS_fnc_registerVehicle;

 

also you may encounter a locality issue with "setVehicleAmmo", since the { ... } is only executed on server.

 

the solution might be like this

0 = [
    this,
    30,
    false,
    {
		[
			[_this],
			{
				(_this # 0) addEventHandler ["Fired",{ if (local (_this # 0)) then { (_this # 0) setVehicleAmmo 1;};}];
			}
		] remoteExec ['call',0,_this];
	},
    50,
    50,
    -1,
    true
] call QS_fnc_registerVehicle;

I tried in my server,seems like eventHandler can not use in this block.But now I can add weapons for the vehicles,thank you for your reply!

Hi QS,  

I have a question for the squad IFF system in your framework, 

I don't know how to call this blue team hexagon identification marker in your code, It will be appeared when players who take

 GPS in same squad.

 

Can I close this marker in my server? If yes, Which file/script can I found the setting for this marker?

 

 

And, Really like your I&A maps, Thank you for your Great job!

I have three more questions want to ask foe help

First,I wonder how to let AI units use their default gear because I want them to look more neat.

Second,I want to let side missions spawn faster,we all think the side missions are very challenging and interesting.

At last,could you tell me how to add whitelist helicopter pilot or other whitelist infantry slot?

Looking forward to your reply!

[UNIT_normal 39]

My community thinks this is great mission to put on our server.

But how can we translate mission? I couldn't find anything on stringtable.xml except one sole string.

Hi,

 

thank you!

 

No plans at the moment for Headless Client.

 

There was past work done to facilitate HC but it is a complex task which I don't have the time to tackle these days. It may come back into focus in the future, but not in the near future.
