    Linux Mod Problems

    BlindNavigator replied to FoxhoundBC's topic in ARMA 3 - SERVERS & ADMINISTRATION

    I'm guessing it's about uppercase file names. This link contains some info about it. https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Dedicated_Server

    I've noticed one small flaw, it doesn't accept addresses like proultraserver.exampleserver.com being saved. Manually putting it in the save .XML don't work either. Not the end of the world, but would be kinda nice for people with dynamic IPs (that change).

    A trigger with the condition !alive WARLORD_NAME. I guess you may already have the above, but anyways, in that trigger: Condition: !alive WARLORD_NAME; On activation: 0 = [] execVM "yourscript.sqf"; In your mission root folder, you create the file "yourscript.sqf".

    Eden Feature Requests

    BlindNavigator replied to adanteh's topic in ARMA 3 - EDEN EDITOR

    Export to sqf in a sane format, 'Type createVehicle Pos' for example. Either the whole Eden mission or the selected objects.

    [Release] GOM - Aircraft Loadout V1.35

    BlindNavigator replied to Grumpy Old Man's topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING

    Nicely done Grumpy! I've implemented this in my jets missions, works good so far!

    This is by far the best one I've found so far. Works good and no annoying popups like "Please donate now" and crap like that. Thanks for this!

    Favourite/Least Favourite Aspects of Warfare/CTI?

    BlindNavigator replied to gossamersolid's topic in ARMA 3 - QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

    Yep, good ol' times, especially miss your version with Mando's missiles script in A2. These comments below are mostly based of Warfare in A2. + The RTS aspect, a good commander could really matter. Base placement, spread out, upgrades and so on. + AI and player classes. Medic being able to build respawn tents for example. + Economy and progression. You always had something to look forward to. You started out poor with crappy weapons, and barely any vehicles. + PVP and TvT, had some very fun back-and-fourth-battles on Takistan. - Long matches, sometimes so long they was never finished. At least when doing a full Chernarus or Takistan. - Matches could sometimes end abruptly by a good pilot bombing out all bases. Related to: - Bad commanders could early in the match destroy any chances for the team to win. I think the biggest problem was that you never knew if a match would be completed/fair/good. I wasted 4h for nothing more than once. And the early game could feel like a boring chore.

    respawn only the ai soldiers that died?

    BlindNavigator replied to sabot10.5mm's topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING

    50? I am not the one to say. But I'm guessing that the actual AI of the soldiers (especially when engaged) is eating up far more resources than the EH tied to them.

    General Discussion (dev branch)

    BlindNavigator replied to DnA's topic in ARMA 3 - DEVELOPMENT BRANCH

    Thanks again, I also found the in game config viewer and saw the canopy in there. I miss the motorcycles in Arma II, and this is the closest we have in A3: ["Ejection_Seat_Base_F","Motorcycle","LandVehicle","Land","AllVehicles","All"] Anyways, this will remove all scrap for anyone interested: cleanUpPlaneParts.sqf { if (vehicle _x isKindOf "Ejection_Seat_Base_F" OR vehicle _x isKindOf "Plane_Canopy_Base_F") then { deleteVehicle _x; }; } forEach vehicles;

    General Discussion (dev branch)

    BlindNavigator replied to DnA's topic in ARMA 3 - DEVELOPMENT BRANCH

    I've noticed something that can get somewhat annoying after a while. 1. Spawn a new plane, like Shikra. 2. Destroy it with something like a Zeus lightning or similar. 3. Ejection seat goes off. After a while on a MP server there will be quite a lot of broken ejection seats all over that doesn't despawn. Also I haven't found a good way to clean it that doesn't remove something else. Like vehicle _x isKindOf "Thing" // removes boxes and lights. vehicle _x isKindOf "Plane" // doesn't remove it. When put into a script like this: { if (vehicle _x isKindOf "Thing") then { deleteVehicle _x; }; } forEach vehicles; I'm thinking this will be changed, so that we don't need custom cleaning script like these.

    respawn only the ai soldiers that died?

    BlindNavigator replied to sabot10.5mm's topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING

    Have you checked out event handlers, like the "Killed" for example: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Event_Handlers#Killed You can put it on the objects and do something like this: SOLDIER addEventHandler ["Killed",{ YOUR_FUNCTION }]; It will trigger once the SOLDIER dies and run YOUR_FUNCTION which spawns a new one (soldier). The group cant be _local though I'm pretty sure. You can put it in a forEach-loop too, and you wont be needing any while loops since the event handler will do the triggering. I would probably also create a new, separate .sqf called something like setUpSoldier.sqf where I put all the skill and gear stuff and later on call it (or execVM). The function can be defined like this, in init.sqf for example: YOUR_FUNCTION = { ... _tempSoldier = _myGroup createUnit [ "B_Protagonist_VR_F", _position, [], 0, "NONE" ]; ... }; That way you can always reach it by: [] call YOUR_FUNCTION; // call can't use sleep or while loops. or [] spawn YOUR_FUNCTION; // Same rules as execVM, sleep and loops can be used. This is probably not the smoothest way to do what you want. And you would have to change the structure of the scripting quite a bit. At least it gives an alternative!

    Dynamic Vehicle Loadouts feedback

    BlindNavigator replied to granQ's topic in ARMA 3 - DEVELOPMENT BRANCH

    The Shikra can now use KH25 Kedge AG. Great!
  14. BlindNavigator
    Yes, put your commands in the sqf. You can still have the attributes set in Eden, this script is for when the vehicle respawns. If you follow my example with myVehicleRespawnScript.sqf the vehicle is referenced by "_vehicle" instead of "this". The first line: _vehicle = _this select 0; means that what ever vehicle synced with the module will be called _vehicle inside the script. It's almost like _vehicle = this in this case. So your: this animate ["cargodoor_1",1]; should be: _vehicle animate ["cargodoor_1",1]; when you put it in the script. Other than reading my earlier post again, you have to just test it. It will be easier for you to understand while in the game, playing around with it.
  15. BlindNavigator
    This is one way to do it, with the Eden respawn module. 1. Place the vehicle in Eden. 2. Place a vehicle respawn module. 3. Sync the module with the vehicle. 4. Double click the respawn module. 5. In Expression, put: _this execVM "myVehicleRespawnScript.sqf"; 6. In your mission root folder, create the file "myVehicleRespawnScript.sqf". myVehicleRespawnScript.sqf: _vehicle = _this select 0; clearWeaponCargoGlobal _vehicle; clearMagazineCargoGlobal _vehicle; _vehicle addItemCargo ["Toolkit", 1]; Feel free to put anything in that file that you want to be applied to the vehicle. setObjectTextureGlobal for example.

    This app crash was resolved by not using the Steam Arma 3 Tools launcher. Using the .exe in Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3 Tools\ObjectBuilder works better, as stated in the wiki. #readTheManual

    trigger dop down menus not working

    BlindNavigator replied to vuther316's topic in ARMA 3 - EDEN EDITOR

    It's a confirmed bug. Work around is to change your GUI size to very small.

    Have you tried King of the Hill (KoTH)?

    How to remove AI units?

    BlindNavigator replied to ZU23's topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING

    Well, it depends on how you want to do it. A simple way to delete all AI units in your group: deleteUnits.sqf { if (!isPlayer _x) then { deleteVehicle _x; }; } forEach units group player;

    Dynamic Vehicle Loadouts feedback

    BlindNavigator replied to granQ's topic in ARMA 3 - DEVELOPMENT BRANCH

    The Shikra is still broken when it comes to DVL, at least I'm unable to get the AGMs working, both in Eden and with scripting. The other vehicles that I tried seems to be fine.
  21. BlindNavigator
    I have the same problem, it will fetch "broken" files every time I validate. I get a different error though: starter has stopped working Problem Event Name: CLR20r3 Problem Signature 01: starter.exe Problem Signature 09: System.NullReferenceException ...

    Unit/Vehicle Spawning Help

    BlindNavigator replied to Cryptdik's topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING

    After a fast glimpse, are the groups snipergroup1 and enemygroup1 created beforehand? If not, you need to create the groups before creating the units. sniperGroup1 = createGroup west; enemyGroup1 = createGroup east;

    Linux Dedicated Server feedback

    BlindNavigator replied to dazhbog's topic in ARMA 3 - SERVERS & ADMINISTRATION

    I'm happy with the Linux dedicated server, it runs good on Debian. But I'm really sad that you can't run the DEV branch on Linux, especially now when the Jets DLC is only on DEV. Any workarounds or updates on this matter?
