    Yes, I am. Running 1.98.146373 at the moment via Steam. I'll have a go with just AIO and CBA loaded, maybe it is one of the other mods interfering. [Edit] I tried again, this time only CBA and AIO loaded. First try Livonia, second and third in VR. Livonia: Same experience as before. Soldiers refuse to get in vehicles by other means as vanilla command. If they are seated, they step out and run off to the south when ordered to open inventory "on self". In VR, first time the "Get in" worked. It seems that if you try to give them an invalid order (i. e. to get three people in as passengers if the target only has two passenger seats) the script breaks. Afterwards they refuse the order or - this was new in VR - just run off in the opposite direction. This is what the RPT loks like:

    Hi Leopard, Thank you for your detailed reply. I'll try to get through it. I can replicate it. These are the mods used: CBA, Enhanced Movement + Walkable moving objects, Advanced Rappelling Reworked, Shack Tac UI, JSRS and your AIO Commands. I tried this on Livonia, using these choppers: M-900, AH-9 Pawnee, WY-55 Czapla, IDAP EH302. It worked once, but then never. Using both "on self" and "on vehicle" makes them dismount (while on the ground) and run off to the southwest. They don't stop running. It happened on Livonia, close northeast to the village of Brena, coordinates 066-113. I can't replicate it though. Now they correctly start up the helicopter. They don't seem to notice the power lines though when they try to land ... Other things I noticed while playing around: Landing helicopters makes them touch down, lift up again and then land again. They always do that. The "get in" command seems to be broken, too. I tried to let three guys mount the M-900 as passengers and got an error message once. Otherwise they aren't doing anything. They just don't react to the "get in" command at all, they just turn to "stop" in the unit bar. Vanilla command works fine.

    Hi Leopard, I tried your mod yesterday and it really is a godsend for managing AI in arma. I was really impressed by how easy it is to give out tasks to the AI that with the vanilla system were either impossible or guaranteed to cause (hilarious) disaster. Especially sling loading is really, really impressive. I did encounter some minor issues though. I noticed that this feature didn't work though. I tried various ways to para-drop troops from helicopters and encountered this issue. Naturally, they only jump when they are wearing a chute. But giving them one by opening their inventory while already mounted in the helicopter only works with the vanilla action. Using your mod always made them dismount the heli and run around a bit before opening the helicopters inventory. I also noticed that units sometimes get bunched up if they are moving along waypoints. I send two dudes on a round around the street and at the end point they stood at the very same position, glitching inside each other. It seems to me that they are losing formation at the end. There also was an error message while trying the taxi feature with a helicopter. But I don't really understand what that does anyway. If I can replicate it, I'll try to screenshot the error for you. When I issued waypoints to one of my guys sitting in a landed helicopter with its engine off, he did not lift off but was rather dragged along the path of the waypoints on the ground, resulting in an unscheduled rapid disassembly after hitting some trees on the way. I tried most of this in the Eden Editor on Livonia, but had a go at KP Liberation Malden later. I noticed that the medic does revive you, but something seems to clash with the mission's own medic scripts. After revival I was stuck in third person and couldn't use any commands or the scope of my gun. After a little while I just dropped dead and had to respawn. I guess the revive wasn't registered completely and I died after the bleedout-timer ran out. Normal healing works fine though. That looks like a lot now. But rest assured: Your mod is still great and makes giving out tasks to the AI a lot less frustrating. Thank you for your efforts!

    The mission is already compatible to a lot of factions, take a look at the wiki. You should be able to access the arsenal at mission start. Are there no bipods available?

    Hi Gemini, we liked playing on Kunduz (note the version with fixed doors!) since it isn't too big a map. We'd try Malden for the same reason. The bigger maps aren't really feasible for our small squad as the transport to the AO often takes way too long and we don't have designated pilots. Aside from that, some european maps would be nice I guess but I can't name one out of my head. I just know that Taunus looks amazing but is a huge fps killer. 😞 Edit: I had a look into my workshop. In general, User @Temppa has some pretty amazing maps.

    Quick question before I start downloading: Which parts of the CUP mods would be needed for the additional factions - especially Germany?

    Hell yeah, amazing news! Just yesterday we noticed the tiny update to your small Items mod and started speculating how far you are in developing the update. We'd happily test the new version on our server. I'll send you a message!

    I just restarted with the new wip2 version. So far everything seems to work fine. On day 2 I stumbled upon an orange box in a field near the closest hamlet (somthing with an L, due northwest-ish). I immediately took fire from Marcus, who kept shooting my poor atv. After killing two raiders I checked the box which gave me the option take the contents - but nothing happended. The box was just empty. Is this intentional?

    Yes, that did the trick. Thank you again! The thread can be closed now.

    Hi everyone, I am having massive trouble joining our server (hosted on Nitrado.de). Every time I try to connect I am getting a weird error message about seemingly not signed files. Files "dta\bin.pbo", "dta\core.pbo", "dta\languagecorde_f.pbo", "S:\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\enoch\addons\air_f_enoch.ebo", "S:\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\enoch\addons\anims_f_enoch.ebo", "S:\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\enoch\addons\armor_f_enoch.ebo", ... are not signed by a key accepted by this server. To play on this server, remove listed files or install additional accepted keys. I then get kicked from the server. The thing is, I did not change anything about these files. Their file dates go back to 2019. I did not change anything on the server either, except that I uploaded some new missions yesterday and updated the server.cfg to add them to the mission rotation. Does one need any bikey-files to play on a vanilla arma server? We do use mods, but all bikeys for the used mods are up to date and uploaded to the server. Thanks in advance for any help.
  11. Arfour
    Thank you, I'll have a look!
  12. Arfour
    Shit. I may or may not have deleted that while clearing out some older mod bikeys. Can I find this key somewhere?

    Hi @Rydygier! I recently came back to your mission and I'm really enjoying how it has evolved over time. The world feels more alive and immersive, there really is a constant feeling of dread and danger around. I also welcome the additional vehicles one can find around the island. This caused me to gimp myself quite fast though. If you find another vehicle somewhere and use it to fast travel back to your village it spawns right on top of the atv if you have left it in the usual spot. The vehicles get merged together and fireworks ensue. It helps to park the vehicles around town, but if you forget you're gimped. Do you have a solution for this?
  14. Arfour
    Steam just informed me that they removed the reported item.
  15. Arfour
    It's sad really. Since we can't file a DMCA notice I at least reported it to steam.

    Arfour replied to wogz187's topic in ARMA 3 - USER MISSIONS

    Great, thanks! It's not that bad though. It does add to the immersion, which is great. I guess the frequent landing makes watching the fuel less relevant anyways since you get fueled every time, right? A switch would be nice though. It helps getting a good feeling for the chopper but makes estimating speed and elevation a bit vague. 😉 What do you mean by "touchscreen"?

    Arfour replied to wogz187's topic in ARMA 3 - USER MISSIONS

    Thank you for the hint about the radio codes. I was wondering how to use them, thinking it would be within the standard comm codes. Since they don't work I was confused. Turns out, I just have to press 0-0-0, even without the ~ (I was trying the ~ key without anything happening, which confused me even more.) 😄 One thing I did notice: My first fare registered as being dropped off at the right location but never actually left the chopper. He's still sitting in the back, enjoying the ride. I am wondering though why you are seated in the co-pilot seat. Has this something to do with the AI autopilot? Being the pilot of the chopper would be nice to use the HUD. I don't get that as co-pilot. Since I don't have a track AR system it is quite hard to read the instruments while flying.

    Great job with the Helicopter option. Only problem is that I don't seem to get any missions. I can ferry people around and if I click the emergency scanner I get the "pursue car" mission - and nothing else. And I am always missing the car. Where should I look for it?

    Enhanced Movement works fine in MP. Source: Played on Saturday and had no issues with it. I can't say anything about TPW though.

    That's an interesting take on respawns. I can see your point about loading being a mechanic "outside" the actual game while respawning always feels like a weird hiccup in the game's timeline. There are interesting solutions for this. One is Shadow of Mordor, although the player's character is supposed to be undead and therefore technically immortal anyway. I've also come across games where an ingame narrator stopped the time when you died and said something like "No, no, no. That's not what happened." and time literally was rewound. It does feel weird if there are no consequences and the player just re-enters the game world and comes across his own corpse. In MP this works somehow but in SP it is indeed breaking the immersion. I can see your point about the APEX campaign. A knockout mechanic would be a way around that. Consequences might be that the player is brought back to his camp, while his vehicle stays where it was left. Time should be forwarded a couple of hours, maybe even till the next day. That way the player would indeed lose time to craft, explore and collect ressources while the threats outside the camp would continue to increase. That way the mission would actually become more difficult every time you die. With saving/loading enabled a player's death isn't really a mission failure criteria anyway. My biggest issue with saving and loading is the loss of time. If you haven't saved shortly before death you have to do everything again which quickly becomes laborious and grindy. For me at least this leads to me saving way too often, which breaks the game in a different manner. Adding to this, players should be able to chose. If you want to reload - fine. If you want to use the respawn mechanic - also fine. But it shouldn't be forced on players how they treat death and failure in a SP scenario. If somebody wants to reload to make every encounter as successful as possible, he should be able to. That's why I like optional "iron man" modes. I like the concept of rouge like games but sometimes I just don't have the time to start all over again every time I die. (Hello XCOM!) Huh. That got longer than expected. Consider it an opinion piece, not a request for features. I'm actually fine with your explanations. 👍

    I agree, the really borderline stupid reactions by the AI makes fighting armor even harder. 9 out of 10 times they try to fight MRAPs with their rifles (at least in RHS, something I've noticed in other missions as well) and get gunned to pieces in the process. Another time they fire their launchers at groups of infantry. Meh. Edit: We tried again on Altis in MP, 2 Player Coop. I went in and told my friend that we'll have lots of fun but it isn't really likely that we'll win the mission. We did though. 😄 🎉 Finished after establishing a chokepoint where we shot the incoming enemy until they were in disarray and fled. This was even after they uncovered our base. I was quite surprised since up until this point I didn't even know how to win the mission, to be honest. But to be fair, it was on easiest settings. But it was a blast nonetheless! Thanks for this mission!
  22. Arfour
    Thank you @madrussian for your detailed answer! First of all: Your mission might be hard as coffin nails, but it is also really great fun! It is just a little frustrating if you get mauled on the easiest settings by single tanks or APCs because you have nothing to fight them. I did a couple more missions yesterday and based on your explanations it might have been just plain old bad luck for all I know. It did get noticably better after I set everything to extra relaxed, disabled armored transports and fought against insurgents rather than the russian army (I am using RHS). I lost though. Every time. 😉 So I did misunderstand the rating. Good to know! After reading your posts about how the mission progresses made me focus more on conquering terrain. But I noticed that you can't take them first before the enemy. You can re-take them but that is considerably harder. And it makes it really hard to defend an objective. Is that intentional?
  23. Arfour
    I've just played a few rounds and had a lot of fun. The use of enemy armor is a bit much though. Even on "relaxed" I run into the first APCs or MBTs within the first 15 minutes. I've just captured the first town just to get the enemy to roll over me with two T-72 almost immediatly. Since you don't even get AT from the supply truck (I couldn't access the unloaded crates, where would I go to actually get the supplies?) your only real weapon against tanks are the support elements, but there is way too much armor rolling around to use those properly. Also I don't really understand the "danger meter". It rises really fast but I don't know how to effectively lower it. Even after my CAS Helo fucked up a tank patrol it didn't go down a bit. The number below went from 180+ to 160+ but it still said "MIGHTY". Am I misinterpreting it?

    I played a couple of missions yesterday and everything seemed to be in order. I could board the helo and was always group leader. The only thing weird was when one of the AI dudes had no equipment at all. It happened only once though. Maybe some supply issues within the russian army.
