Hi Community,
As I was replaying the Air Superiority Mission from the East Wind Campaign I was wondering myself about the Callsigns on the map: https://imgur.com/a/5UsgqJx
My mouse is hovering over the Squad named "Golf". Now as you can see it is the first squad commanded by Sgt. Cooper but that Helicopter that should pick you up is called Golf 2-2 in the Radio? Can somebody please explain me the numbering system of markers and how units respond in the radio?
Thx in advance,
Mister GTX

Hi Community,
Since Contact came out I was walking around and looking at the placement of objects in the Campaign. In the second mission you get called to a tent which is open on one side and closed on the other one and I would like to do that. Sadly I haven't found a way yet (you can only hide or unhide both doors but not a single one [actually at the decon-tent you can close only 1 door])
Thx in Advance!

Hello Community,
I was replaying the Campaing "The East Wind Device" and in the Mission "Air Superiority" there were a few Callsigns and Numbers that confused me.
My Mouse was hovering over the "Golf" Marker which indicated that it is the "1st Squad under the Command of Seargent Cooper". But when Crossroads called them in the Radio they responded with "Golf 2-2" and I don't know how that adds up. Why is it the First Squad but uses 2-2 on the Radio?
Thx for Answers!

Hello Community,
As the title suggested my question is pretty short. Can you publish a custom made campaign (with chapters and stuff) on the Steam workshop? If that's possible I would be really glad to know how to do that.
Thx!

Hello Community,
I am currently experimenting with the ORBAT Module and I need some new isignias for my campaign. The problem is I don't know which flags were used in the original singleplayer campaign nor do I know where to find them.
For example this NATO Flag used in the oringal campaing: (Image) https://ibb.co/eNkaYe
Thx for your replies :D

This topic may be old but I got the same problem now as I am playing antistasi and I see the AI revive and drag heavy wounded soldiers :(

Hello Community,
I've downloaded the Arma 3 Development Build and the new Destroyer is great. My Problem is the following. My Idea was to take the interior parts from the destroyer and use them to create a new interior for the aircraft carrier but I got no idea how to do that and maybe one of you got a place where I can start.
Thanks in Advance!

In short - you can now switch the missile's flight from a simple direct trajectory to one that better utilizes the tank's weaker armour - e.g. the notorious Top attack. We'll try to add more info as the time flies and as the features get utilized more by the game's assets. As well as we'll update the documentation so you can try out what's under the black box.

Bohemia Interactive said something about new vehicles, will there be new Anti Tank Weapons aswell? Because sometimes I wish I could fire a rocket when prone, that would definitely help in many situations!

Dynamic Universal War System (DUWS)Download:
Latest:
Armaholic mirror (0.8b)
You can also access the mission with the Steam Workshop.
Older versions:
OVERVIEW:
The DUWS generate randomly a mini campaign, with all the enemy zones to capture being randomly generated.
Or you can also choose to manually place your HQ and the enemy and easily make your own unique "campaign".
The key here is to have maximum replayability, where the player can setup his own campaign or let the DUWS create everything randomly for him.
You can play with the DUWS on any island you want, you just have to rename the .pbo file.
Example: DWS.stratis.pbo >> DWS.chernarus.pbo
QUICKSTART:
Put the .pbo inside your "Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 3\Missions" folder.
When you are asked to choose the campaign settings, just use the default parameters and click "start".
FEATURES:
*Play the way you want:
-Play as a lone wolf or as a SF team, using support assets and gadgets and perform side missions
-Control your personnal squad of troopers and fight against the OPFOR
-Control several squads, vehicles and supports and try to retake the island from the enemy
-...or a mix of all of them
*Persistent player stats througout the campaigns/missions, allowing the player to play a multi island driven campaign
*Unlock abilities throughout the campaigns as you gain experience (persistent)
*Pretty much every location is randomly generated on the map, from the HQ to the enemy zones and side mission locations.
*Side mission selection screen. Missions are generated randomly.
*Play the DUWS on any island you want to.
*VAS by Tonic (Armory)
*Several support options to unlock (UAV, Arty, Personnal FLIR, VAS, ...)
*You can define by yourself the HQ, the enemy zones, or just the HQ and let the DUWS generate the zones automatically. You can also let the DUWS create everything by itself. Basicly you decide the level of randomization there is.
*WARCOM(War Commander) system. BLUFOR forces will try to capture the island, war escalates as the campaign progress.
*Dynamic weather. At the start of the campaign, you may choose the type of weather (mediterranean, temperate, tropical, arid...). The weather will then be randomly generated according to these parameters.
*Fully support the High Command module
VIDEO
REQUIRED ADDONS:
None, you can play ArmA III vanilla or use all the addons you want: islands, weapons, gear.
Note that the DUWS will not show addons that adds BLUFOR units/vehicle, since they are added by hand.
However, addons that add OPFOR vehicles will be used, since OPFOR vehicles are taken directly from the cfgVehicles classes.
MP NOTES:
This mission can be played in coop. Regarding the nature of the DUWS, it must be run on a listen server. Does not work on a dedicated server. I suggest adding a password to your game, so only friends can join and no random guy will be able to trash your game.
See the ingame manual for gameplay changes.
Changelog:
0101a: Changed player stat menu Introduced persistent stats: -amount of zones captured -the islands you have captured -number of side mission accomplished Added reset stat button. You can reset your persistent stats Added new support "vehicle refit" Cost of personnal flir upped to 20 0.2 introduced a failsafe for the zone creation added a loading screen while searching for the HQ added a dynamic weather system, you can also chose your weather type at the beginning at the campaign added to possibility to establish FOBs after you have captured your first zone updated the DUWS ingame manual added ATV in the vehicle menu removed accidental parachute spawn removed the error that sometimes occurs when fetching into cfgVehicles Thanks to Das Attorney for the help fixed an issue where the player might die during the init of the missions (very rare) Added the WARCOM ai skills was broken in ancient DUWS version, now it's functionning properly and you can set the ai skill in the start menu player can chose starting army power lots of minor bug fixes 0.2a fixed variables names where a few players dindt got the AP bonus 0.2b fixed a bug where the FOB option would not reappear after being denied 0.3 updated name/adjectives pool for the name randomization introduced the xp system, based on persistent stats. That means XP is also persistent, if you have unlocked abilities during a campaign, you will keep them if you restart the mission. introduced the abilities, based on the xp and thus, abilities are persistents. added quick reflexes to abilities added advanced conditionning to abilities added field surgery to abilities added veteran instinct to abilities WARCOM: now the task forces will have a marker on their position player stats menu accomodated so the player can see his XP now. updated army power entry in the manual added experience section in the manual added a check to the script for the script fetching valid zones to make sure nothing is spawning inside a rock or something weird. Due to these changes, fetching a hq location should take a bit more longer. I also increased the authorized max Z(elevation) difference to make the side missions being generated more quickly. when the player was manually placing the HQ, the DUWS was broken. Added another step in the init.sqf zones manual placement was also broken, hopefuly fixed now. Check the init.sqf if you are placing the zones by hand. 0.3a fixed a bug where --blank-- would appear on some mission names achieving side missions would not give you CP anymore, just fixed that 0.4 switched to dev build of arma player can select the blufor ai skill range added high command module support with squads, meaning that the player can request squad at the hq now, basicly you can own and order a whole army now if you want to. added tooltips at the startup dialog divided by 3 the amount of CP you receive when a zone is captured player can request supply drops at fobs updated to vas 1.6 (meaning you can now change binoculars at armory. Also included localization in german for the VAS) added AT specialist and diver to unit list using BIS_fnc_findSafePos to generate the position for HQ and side mission. Now, HQ and side mission generation is instantaneous and much more efficient. Generated stuff should now not spawn anymore in odd places. tweaked mapsize.sqf to make BIS_fnc_findSafePos usable tweaked all the mission files to accomodate BIS_fnc_findSafePos tweaked locatorHQ.sqf to accomodate BIS_fnc_findSafePos added a check, generated side missions will never be on the same spot OPFOR AT and AA specialist are now patrolling the enemy zones. increased list of random names added helicopter taxi in supports changed the spawn location of BLU attack waves, hopefellu commander will not randomly die anymore 0.4a typo correction by FrankHH added new support Mk.20 Rockeye II cluster bomb using taxi would not cost you any CP being denied the LZ would prevent the taxi option to reappear 0.4b QUICKFIX: vehicles would not be created anymore, just fixed that. 0.5 Implemented OPFOR AP management changed the zone capture system, now the opfor can, and will try to recapture the zones under blufor control fixed bugs at the startup screen randomized the delay between assault waves Startup help hints are appearing only if it's your first time playing the mission (or this version) HQ spawn is now inside a bunker minor tweaks and fixes revamped the whole side mission generation system, now the player can chose through the strategic map wich mission to play. Missions are generated randomly. updated VAS to 1.7 0.5a (quickfix) player could not give SITREP anymore, fixed now 0.5b(quickfix) requesting a vehicle will not blow up the HQ anymore. 0.6 made the instructions inside the init.sqf more clear for when the player is placing manually stuff (hq & zones) balancing: when a zone is captured by blufor, both armies are getting equally stronger, thus giving a challenge for the player who wants to play only as capturing the zones the HQ will broadcast a message to all BLUFOR units if enemy units are within 300meters of the main base. added a new side mission: sabotage modified briefings entries bought infantry is spawning just outside the HQ. sometimes, a random music track is playing when being transported by taxi helo modified the request menu GUI helo taxi should not stop hovering when being called sometimes the player would spawn into the air at mission startup When requesting a FOB, the script put it automatically in a valid pos. If no pos are found, request is denied added marksman, sniper & spotter in the unit list switched to BIS_fnc_findSafePos for finding a zone. WARCOM will init even when zones are manually placed. added prefabs buildings when zones are created.

How to place manually the HQ and the enemy zones ?
1)Read the init.sqf more info.
2)Check this to see wich values you have to modify inside the init.sqf
I just realized the name of the DUWS is a bit similar to the Dynamic War Sandbox. This mission has nothing to do with it, it's just a coincidence.
Hey :D
A long time after this post I am writing to you regarding a serious problem I am currently experiencing.
Every time arma 3 crashes I have to start over and create everything new because the savefiles get lost / erased or whatever.
And yes there are 1000 tutorials on how to save the files BUT all those tutorials require me to download from armaholic (the download there doesn't work, I just get the "page.php" file) but there is no help if I subscribed it via steam.
Kibot, you are my last hope regarding this problem and I hope you read this and that you can help me because that mod is awesome :D
Greetings,

4 hours ago, Wiki said:In the combined armed showcase, the blackfoot is destroyed too fast and (almost) everytime (99%)
The air support is quite useless - so is the marshall.
They follow their path and gets hit by AA / AT or grenade launcher everytime within seconds.
Could that be improved?
Another thing I wanted to mention is that it seems to me that the marshall WANTS to be destroyed because he drives up to that spot and then just stops even under heavy enemy fire :(
*Extra Note*
The new Fighter Showcase could also be improved. I tried to land on the carrier at the end but there is one parked plane too close to the landing hook and then everything explodes ^^

Hello again dear Community,
Some of you may have heard of the glorious DUWS (Dynamic Universal War System) which basically creates a small Campaign where the player is the commander of blufor forces. Those missions can be accessed in the "Scenario" Section (at least I did it that way).
Since the last 2 days I have a big problem called "Arma 3 crashed". Yesterday I had to reboot my pc (alt + f4, task manager and cmd killing didn't work) and all of my save files of DUWS were gone, completely erased! Normally in the Scenario Tab there is a button called "resume" where you can load the last save but there is just the button "start" so I have to start again :(
Maybe somebody can tell me a bit more where DUWS stores the saves / files or how I can prevent my saves from being erased.
*Extra Note*
I subscribed to the mod in the steam workshop as I was unable to download it from the armaholic site (If I want to download it I just download the Page called "page.php")

Yeah true though. And again thx that really helped me with my DUWS Campaign, because going in with a big army isn't funny but with a small CTRG Team and killing the enemies stealthly is much more fun :D

8 hours ago, mulledk19 said:Select units you believe to be dead and ask them to report in (5, 5), if they don't respond, mark them as dead (5, 8). You can also just mark all your units as dead (5, 8) and if they're not, they'll report back to you.
If you spot a dead unit, you can aim at them and press T to mark them as dead.
Marking with T that cool thanks :D

Thx man :D

Hello Community,
I am currently playing some singleplayer missions and I am always the leader of a huge AI squad, therefore I started playing the VR Tutorial for commanding but there are still a few things I don't know how to manage.
Here's a short list:
- Mark a Squadmember as KIA [SITREP of the AI] (Most of the time 50% of my squad are dead but I can still see their markers in the bottom)
- Let the AI report their grid (Since I turned map markers for units off, I sometimes cannot see where my team is standing around)
I would be really glad if somebody could help me because when I search on google I just get advice for scripting these things and I don't know if these functions exist :(
Have a nice day,
Mister GTX aka Lt. Halliwell

I don't know who decides the names of an Operation
But I think that a high officer chooses the name. I have heard, that the american military has got their own name list for operations. Somtimes the Operation is just named like the task that has to be done.
In case of Red Wings I think the name just sounded cool :D
For example in the German Military my friend told me they use animal names to mark targets. For example a Target called Elephant is a bigger target with more guards or more security measures while I pig is a smaller target with less risks to engage. But that depends heavily on the organization and the country (he is in a small scout squad with around 20 men in total)

I didn't work again but I think I'll wait for a step-by-step tutorial but thx for all of your help!

Ah within the boundaries that seems to be a good Idea!
So I am back home and I wanted to test it and it still doesn't work :( I placed them inside the presence module boundaries and synced every module with another one and tested it for some minutes, at the "Civilian Presence Position" Module there is a marker with 0/3 but that's all I got :(
-
Hello Community,
With the new Mission from the Tac Ops DLC, they have also introduced some new cool Modules for the Eden Editor and I have played around a wile but I still couldn't figure out how the Civilian Presence Modules work :( I would be really thankful if anybody could explain to me how those Modules work!
Warm Regards,

Thx for the tutorial I already did the steps and now I don't see this red line, do I have to activate something?
Furthermore I wanted to make a jet fly a certain path. Without a pilot it just crashes down and with a pilot the pilot takes control and the animation is ignored ^^
-
Hello Community,
Since there is a new Method to animate Objects called Key Frame Animation I took a closer look at the TAC OPS Mission and for example in the First mission of the "Stepping Stone - Campaign" NATO Forces have CAS (Close Air Support) inbound and the jets appear in a pretty cool way. They fly in and one of them turns to the right and the other one to the left at the exact same time and I wanted to recreate this kind of Animation.
Here is my Problem:
I haven't found any good explanation how to use this Keyframe Animation. After experimenting several hours with this new Animation Process I started to google and found the following page: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Key_Frame_Animation . It is well explained here and also a GIF how this should look like but I still don't have a clue how to use this kind of animation because it is just explained in Theory how everything works.
I am thankful for any kind of link related to this Topic!
Best regards, Adams "Fucking Greenbacks!" ;)
Arma 3 ORBAT cannot load texture
in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Posted
Hello,
I'm working on a few spin off mission from the East Wind Campaign and in order to recreate the first mission I created a similar ORBAT view. My only problem is that I cannot load the TF Aegis Helmet into the ORBAT Viewer. The file I am using is the original .paa file extracted from the img folder of the main campaign, and in the Text2View Editor it can be viewed properly.
In the following Code example you can see that under "texture" i've added the .paa file which is in the same folder as the mission.sqm file. Furthermore the insignia "Aegis_background.paa" works perfectly fine ...
class CfgOrbat { class TFAegis { id = 1; idType = 0; side = "West"; size = "Size1"; type = "HQ"; insignia = "Aegis_background.paa"; colorInsignia[] = {0,0,1,1}; commander = "MacKinnon"; commanderRank = "Colonel"; text = "Task Force Aegis"; textShort = "TF Aegis"; texture = "Aegis_icon.paa"; color[] = {0,1,1,1}; description = "A US-led joint NATO-AAF peacekeeping force stationed on Stratis, with a strictly limited mandate and combat capacity."; }; };
