Thanks. Just glad to be able to try it. Seems a bit counter intuitive :)

How do I play the campaign please? I have bought for me and my Dad and neither can see it. We are on the sneak peek branch. Thank you.

Much appreciated!

Hi. HOpefully pretty straightforward. How do I add a nightstalker to a MAR-10 on the ground? I can add the weapon and understand the init window, I just don't know what to type. Tried this and it doesn't work: this addPrimaryWeaponItem "optic_Nightstalker "; thanks a lot

Thanks very much...where do I put this...mission? Where did you learn all this stuff? I'm ok with a few things but just can't seem to push on and be comfortable with editing.

Okay thanks guys. Think I'll just leave the bits on the floor and make them up at the start of each mission as this is all beyond me currently.

You can max Arma 3 at 60fps in singleplayer no problem on a 970 as long as you have sensible view distances. My Dad runs a 470 and doesn't have to turn much off to get 60fps in singleplayer (i5 [email protected]) Maybe your CPU is throttling due to an incorrectly seated cooler? Have you checked your CPU temps using something like AIDA 64? Maybe your GPU is throttling for the same reason (less likely) also monitor your GPU temps with something like AIDA 64. Have you got DSR enabled in your Nvidia driver software? That hurts frames.

Thanks but I've sorted it now by removing all the medical pbos and dll from ACE folder. I'd already moved both the XEH files but it still wasn't working. I get the first error which I'm pretty sure doesn't cause any problems and is just a general bug in the mod. The second error is probably the cause of your crashes. I would delete and redownload spyder addon then reenable, making sure all your mods are in the same order.

Well I've had another go at this mission and I just cannot get healing to work, whether it be ordering a medic to heal or being a medic and trying myself. I get the self interaction menu but not the medical menu and I am pressing H and have checked that H is assigned. I've got all the latest versions of all the mods and they're in the correct order. I've also tried moving that XEH file in CBA. If I shoot one of my teammates in the leg I simply cannot do anything to help them (I am testing on LAN with AI and no other humans). Do I need to add the ACE medical module or is there some other way you are supposed to heal (the normal way doesn't show up either)? Thanks a lot.

Thank you so much for repyling. On point 3 I'm hoping there might have been an issue with the mods/mod order...will try again soon. On point 5, When you play with ai and the leader (me) points at a target and orders the target attacked, a red box shows up around the target to help it to be acquired (by my Dad). This doesn't happen if you play without AI. To be honest though, the thing I want to know the most is where the mission calls the unit loadouts from. I'm really keen to change the sniper scope but if I edit the ini in the editor and add another scope, the game gives an alive xeh error and the scope does not show. Where would I need to go to, to change the unit loadouts? I'm really keen to build some missions but just can't figure out whether these units have standard loadouts etc. I can see the units listed in the mission, do they just use the standard loadouts of the British Army mods? Hope I'm making sense. Thanks a lot.

Hello. I've edited many missions but have never found where the loadouts are called from despite going through the unpbo'd mission files in great detail. So for instance you start a mission and your guys have a load of custom gear but when you look at the ini in the editor it is blank. Where could the loadouts be? An example mission to search would be brilliant. Thanks a lot.

Thanks, will try this soon.

Thanks again but having tried this, the scope removed but was not replaced. Alive gave an error about adding the xeh file which I've yet to try. Hope that works.

Thanks very much, I should probably have figured this out myself!Just to take things to the next step, how would I replace binoculars with laser rangefinder?

Where would this "A" be? Don't think I've ever seen it. I just want to change the scope of the snipers in this mission: https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/186153-alive-coop-25-mp-sp-uk-pathfinders-afghanistan/

Thanks but I can already edit missions and export them, I just can't find where the mission (missions actually, I've never found the location despite editing multiple missions) gets the custom loadouts from. There just doesn't seem to be anywhere that references it and I've searched init, mission etc.

Haha thanks. First got him into coop shooters whilst playing quake 2 and he's been booked ever since. I think I can get things to how we need them to be if I could find where to edit the I it loadouts. Where are he scripts etc. that I could open to change the sniper scope to night stalker for instance? Thanks a lot.

I've been playing this mission https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/186153-alive-coop-25-mp-sp-uk-pathfinders-afghanistan/ recently and I hhad some questions. I'm thinking it's probably better to ask them in here. 1. I've turned wind to manual and 0 using advanced Intel. Is this the best way to do it? 2. My Dad uses the Nightstalker scope to make rangefinding more straightforward. How do I make it range continuously without tab button press? 3. When I die I don't respawn. I have to exit in alive menu to character selection screen and he chooses the same person and I choose another as mine is obviously kia. When he dies he comes back to life as the same person but seemingly carrying any injuries he already had. We don't use a dedi server, I just host. We'd like to keep respawning as the same person. When I've practised solo I have always respawned at the base as the same person. 4. I play as leader and him as sniper. What do we need to take to make sure we can heal each other to some degree. Ideally we'd like full medic abilities. 5. Is it possible to assign the red box targets when playing without AI? Thanks very much

Well I finally managed to get this mission and the required mods onto my dad's PC and we had a few hours messing around and really enjoyed it. He's in his late sixties and we only like to play as a pair with no AI and on the easier difficulty so there's a few things I'd like to change/ask if anyone can help? I'm pretty OK with editing missions. 1. I've turned wind to manual and 0 using advanced Intel. Is this the best way to do it? 2. He uses the Nightstalker scope to make rangefinding more straightforward. How do I make it range continuously without tab button press? 3. When I die I don't respawn.

When I say the rangefinder isn't working, it is fine as a pair of simple binoculars but the range stays as dashed lines no matter where you point it.

Thanks for all your help. I understand it all reasonably well now. One more thing though...in this mission it seems that you respawn everytime you die. How do you know the respawn type before you start playing a mission like this?

Also what does persistence mean in the case of this mission? That word suggests that you come back and things are the same.

Thanks for your reply. Yes it worked once I downloaded ace 3.4 OK we'll consider it finished when we've done a complete circuit of the map. Some more questions! 1. Is the rangefinder disabled or is that a general bug? I've been unable to play for a couple of months and this is my first foray back in. 2. Does the mission change every time you play it?

Finally managed to get everything downloaded and working and had a quick play around...seems great, thanks very much. I have a few questions though if ok? 1. Sometimes the map shows installations but then they disappear, why is that? 2. What triggers mission end, the destruction of every enemy on the map? 3. Can the mission be modified to be able to save in co-op and resume? Thanks a lot.

Hi. Tried with a couple of missions now. I can resume on my own no problem but it just sits forever at the sending data stage if my buddy is involved. A couple of thoughts: 1. Do we both need the same mods installed (or no mods)? 2. When we first start it always sends the mission (which I thought was great as stopped me needing to send the in advance. Maybe I should send it first? Thanks.
