XPaleHorseX 3 Posted December 17, 2017 I seen on various youtube videos people have a opaque compass that is constantly displayed at the bottom of the display in the middle. How do you get this to show up or is it just for single player? Just wondering why it shows up it shows up in videos but I can't seem to get it. I attached a screenshot I found on google that shows it. It definitely would make things easier. Thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alpha-Kilo 36 Posted December 17, 2017 Welcome to the forum, @XPaleHorseX You've been playing only for a week, are you familiar with the add-ons you can get for this game? The opaque compass you are referring to is this very popular add-on: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=498740884 which shows the position of the other members of your team relative to your own position in the centre of the circle. Here is some more info: https://gitlab.com/shacktac-public/general/wikis/home I hope it helps! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep just a week, so no I'm not all that familiar with all of the add-ons and this is one I seem to really need. I appreciate your response and I will check out this add on as well as others I find interesting. Thanks @Alpha-Kilo 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I then made sure they were activated on the mod control screen but I never could get it to show up. I tried numerous different servers that would allow me to run the mod (there wasn't a whole lot) but the mod never showed up on my screen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alpha-Kilo 36 Posted December 17, 2017 You could use the official launcher which is explained here: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Launcher Are you sure that everything is installed correcdtly? You will only see the hud when you are the member of a team. May servers require more mods than CBA and STHud, it is possible that you couldn't join because something else was missing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Makes sense, I'll play with it some today. Hopefully I'll get it to working. Thanks for taking the time to help. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crazy mike 567 Posted December 17, 2017 For modding generally somebody will setup a server, and then add mods to that server, players will have to all have those exact mods or else they wont be able to join, finding random servers which just allowed random mods are pretty rare, youll either find vanilla servers which will be unmodded, or servers which use a specific list of mods to get their desired result, as for that specific mod your having trouble with, ive never used it so i got no clue if it needs anything special or it works automatically :P you should try to either find a group who has their own server and runs missions on it, or try unmodded servers which dont require anything to get into until you find a group of people like milsim units who have modded servers they play on. there are other options too, for example one of the biggest gamemodes that always has people playing is king of the hill, its a control the objective gamemode between 3 teams, there are vanilla koth servers, aswell as modded ones, some using total conversions like iron front to become a WW2 version of koth, those are good places to start playing modded versions of the game, then branch out from there and find a place you enjoy you also can just hit up the steam workshop and just browse the top rated mods or check youtube for top lists of mods for functionality immersion total conversion mods ect, you can easily test out almost any mod on your own, just download it make sure its activated on launch in the launcher then in the 3den editor you can find and test any new content added by mods, you can save a loadout of mods aswell in the launcher and can use that to make single or multiplayer missions, you can local host if you have port forwarded the right ports to allow others to connect to you and can play with friends without setting up a dedicated server aswell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
