How do we go about installing the maloc? https://github.com/GoldJohnKing/oneTBB/releases/tag/Arma-3-v2021.5.0-20211230 I don't see a readme in the git and am very much a noob when it comes to that stuff.

With Armaholic now defunct, are there other areas to access these resources?

Hello All, I am trying to create a mission where many players are going to parachute into an AO and I need them to be able to keep their backpacks. I understand that there are mods for this but I didn't want to force people to download new mods for one mission. Anyway, I attempted to utilize beerkan's paradrop.sqf script and cannot get it to work either on my PC in Eden nor when I put it on the dedicated server. If anyone can help me figure out a way for my players to jump out of a helo with their normal backpack and parachute using a steerable chute and then have their backpack again once they hit the ground, I will be seriously in your debt. I have 3 groups of rangers, including a platoon leader and a JTac player who will all be affected - roughly 34 people across 3 groups.

Is this something I could do without having all my players download it? I don't want to have people need to modify our modpack for this mission. I'll send a message now to have it moved. Thank you!

Hi All, I've been trying to find out a way to have my players drop into an AO via CH-47F around 2500m and land without the need to have to reload their backpack at an arsenal or something else of the like. Is there any way to do that within arma? I've got ACE 3.13, CUP, RHS. If I need to script it, can anyone help with that? I've been struggling to utilize the below. I just can't get it to work. I'd like to be able to make it so that anytime someone jumps out of a helo during the OP the parachute would deploy for them and there would be no need to replace the backpack. Any assistance is greatly appreciated! /* ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Script Name: Simple ParaDrop Script v1.5 File Name: Paradrop.sqf Author: Beerkan Description: Simple ParaDrop script which saves backpack and loadout.

Hi Everyone, I have read through the thread but I think my google-fu has failed me. I'm using v1.5 of Beerkan's script and just can't get it to work. /* ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Script Name: Simple ParaDrop Script v1.5 File Name: Paradrop.sqf Author: Beerkan Description: Simple ParaDrop script which saves backpack and loadout.

I have a multiplayer mission that I'm setting up for a fun-op for my realism unit where I need players to jump from a CH-47F and insert into a hot AO. I want to have them be able to keep their backpacks rather than dropping in an arsenal or something else like that, that's why I'm using this. Anyway, I can't get it to work and am not really sure where I'm messing up. As a complete amateur to the scripting side of Arma 3, could anyone point me in the right direction? Thank you!!
