SP/COOP 5 - PMC Versus by Fuiba (30 mission campaign on Chernarus)
Melody_Mike replied to Wiesore's topic in ARMA 2 & OA - USER MISSIONS
Since both Chenarus and Thirsk have been ported to Arma 3; do you think these missions are worth porting as well? Asking for a friend... -
Will this mission include a billionaire manhunt?

"Dynamic" map display on TV
Melody_Mike replied to RS30002's topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
On the phone right now, so will just copy and paste some links. Couldn't you adapt this UI to texture script for producing map images: https://github.com/expung3d/A3-LiveMaps https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3018683365 And then use some UI commands to zoom/color it as you see fit, as in this mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2480263219 ? -
Strange Beings: 1982 (Stranger things inspired)
Melody_Mike replied to alkanet's topic in ARMA 3 - USER MISSIONS
Thank you for the recommendation IceBreakr! Easy to see that the author gave a lot of attention to both the visual and gameplay elements. I didn't recognize the music, so it worked well for me. Fun to play as *anything* other than Blufor/PMC/"John Matrix" commandos for a change. Also nice that there's a fun little preview video based on a playthrough with effects. It all helps make this mission stand out. A fun hour with 3 friends that's tense but not frustrating. -
Hi @dupa1, welcome to the forums! So what was your result? Script, or screenshot-wise?

PBO Viewer - Cross-platform PBO tool
Melody_Mike replied to SteezCram's topic in ARMA 3 - COMMUNITY MADE UTILITIES
Awkwardly responding to my own post here. If there are other users on Mac who want to unpack PBO files, you can wrap PBO Decryptor (by Amalfi) into a Mac OS executable through Wine. Works well enough for me. Would love to read more elegant alternatives.- 26 replies

PBO Viewer - Cross-platform PBO tool
Melody_Mike replied to SteezCram's topic in ARMA 3 - COMMUNITY MADE UTILITIES
Hello everyone. For whatever reason, I am now stuck behind a Mac, and craving to do some Arma modding. Thankfully, BI has updated its Mac port (hurray!). But I cannot unpack PBO files or unbinarise them, because both Mikeros tools, the popular PBO manager, and Arma 3 Tools, are still Windows based. Your project seems a perfect fix, but I am running into an issue. The contents (listing) of PBOs can be seen, and they can be unpacked. But the files themselves are unreadable. That is, media such as .ogg cannot be played, and script files such as .sqm, .sqf, and .ext, are read as random (not binarized with some variable names- random) characters by VS Code and text programs. I have used both your CLI version and the GUI using a WINE wrapper. Same result. Could you, or any users, give me a tip?- 26 replies

Are invisible vehicles without hideObject possible?
Melody_Mike replied to billyeatworld's topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Hi there- I believe this is relevant: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2388444766 Here is a link to the GitHub and Discord. All credit to TimidShade: https://github.com/TheTimidShade/Timid-Cloak Note that that vehicle interior textures are not affected, due to the models not having "hidden selections" on these parts. -
Greetings @road to c1! This is not a standard Arma feature. As it says in your video description, use this mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2938391119

Zeus-placed countdown editing
Melody_Mike replied to Dj Rolnik's topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Tell me if I am missing something. But couldn't you place a trigger that uses either BIS_fnc_countDown or BIS_fnc_countDownTime==0 in the condition field to check whether it has finished, then execute (execVM) your script in the onActivation field? If you're looking to make your own onscreen countdown timer, then you could modify this script: Happy world environment day 🎊.- 1 reply

Hello @LesterJJJ, welcome to the forums! I don't know of any mod that does this 1 specific thing. What you are technically asking is a modification of the "Blastcore" mod. You can probably guess this means knowing Arma scripting, and how to create a mod. You will probably also want permission from the author. I can't do all that for you. More realistic is to create a script (or trigger) for your mission, that makes smoke effects whenever a tank blows up from a bm-21 rocket. So you would take (and change) this smoke particle script example: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Particles_Tutorial#Burning_Vehicle_Fire_Look-Alike -That makes smoke appear at a location. And have it activated by this event handler: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Event_Handlers#HitExplosion -So that the special smoke appears only at tanks that are blown up by bm-21 rockets. It's a bit of work, even if you have experience with Arma scripting. But this is easier than reverse-engineering the Blastcore mod, or making a new mod. Try asking specific questions. It's a frustrating but fun process. Good luck!

Bucket - Zeus Terrain Editing
Melody_Mike replied to sebsterbl's topic in ARMA 3 - ADDONS & MODS: COMPLETE
I... I will stop. Question: can this mod be run exclusively from the server? Or, is there a way of saving the output of this mod, so that it can be run as a server side script? -
How to make WORKING Diary Entries
Melody_Mike replied to rekkless's topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
@NemanjicYou could check what side the player is on: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/playerSide You could insert example 2 (the switch case) from the above link within this part to select the correct diary script: -
Unloading the boat on the beach
Melody_Mike replied to Casio91Fin's topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
I have two ideas, depending on specifics. 1) If the boat is AI controlled, and does not 'beach' itself completely: 2) If the boat is driven by unitCapture, or is completely beached/cannot drive: Use addForce (in trigger) to push boat back into the water. -

Delivery of the item to the zone.
Melody_Mike replied to sokolpunk's topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Hi @sokolpunk, welcome to the forums mate 🙂 You can make this by syncing "triggers" and "task modules". Here's a video demonstrating it in English: (PS for next time: see if you can search the forums/Discord/internet. Searching with "trigger finish mission" or "complete mission item inventory" gives answers as well. I sometimes end up answering my question by having to explain the problem to someone else) -
Advanced icons of military units on the map
Melody_Mike replied to Ibragim A's topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Tip: if there is any error, then module will be invisible in mission. Sometimes Arma will not show the error on your screen: check RPT in that case. Good luck! -

artillery barrage script
Melody_Mike replied to mike123hh's topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Cool! I was reading through the script. It calls- fnc_FindPositionOnLand But there's no entry on the BIKI for it. Where did you find this function and how does it work 😄? Why this instead of BIS_fnc_findSafePos ? -
IFA3[1-12]Territory Fight: Kuban-bridgehead
Melody_Mike replied to RafaDombras's topic in ARMA 3 - USER MISSIONS
Was this an attempt to recreate a kind of "Battlefield 1942" scenario? I don't think I could convince my playgroup to try this mission out, but I would hazard that it defenders would have a tremendous advantage. What player feedback did you get? -
SFS2X-RV - Complete networking solution (Tech Showcase)
Melody_Mike replied to CCC200's topic in ARMA 3 - ADDONS & MODS: DISCUSSION
Could you apply this 'hub' concept to connecting different servers? In ~2014, a developer managed to write an extension that would let you transition between terrains in Singleplayer in a single play session. Unfortunately, the site that hosted the mod (Armaholic) is offline, and I couldn't track down the showcase YouTube video, because Google makes it very difficult to search for videos more than a few years old. A counterpoint towards "forever storage" of the internet. But such tech has been used. There's also an old post by BI developer KillZoneKid where he explains a method of transferring seamlessly between servers: http://killzonekid.com/farewell-my-arma-friends/ I wonder if your 'instance' tech could simplify that. Many use cases to imagine. Like players running around in a large outdoor terrain of Altis, then transitioning to an underground "VR" or "Cytech" terrain in an 'instance'. Players could have their cake (expansive outdoor terrains) and eat it too (detailed indoor areas). I'm very excited to read more on this very large undertaking. And your explanations. -
