Not to mention none of this is any way related to the thread we're in. (BTW, there is one engine with that new engine smell, but we don't know when and where it will appear next. And we certainly won't hear about it here.)

I don't know about xphone but googling every one of the pbos you listed will lead you to their author's Steam/Armaholic/BI forum page. In addition to the three mentioned in the previous comment, here's "mm_": And "Catalina": The modder credits the catalina objects to "_gotdead_", who seems to be this fellow: The mod has been removed from Workshop since then, as well as the trailer from YouTube. So your best and probably the only bet is to message them through this forum. Edit. Searching for Xphone brings up this site selling the script: https://armaservices.net/product/xphone-calling/ And apparently its creator (or one of the 20) is "ItsLeigham". See if you can contact the seller via the store or look around if there's a person of the same name involved with Arma elsewhere.

When you googled those names you listed, weren't the authors you found not the actual rights holders?

Here's a small script I initially made almost a year ago for a discussion regarding AI's detection skills and their alleged "x-ray vision". The topic became current again recently along with the release of the new jungly Tanoa map. And the script was even indirectly featured in the SITREP yesterday when BI highlighted a user made video utilising it. (The tweet with the huge red arrow. :D) So I decided to update it a bit and start an actual thread. Maybe it'll help to shed some light on AI's sense mechanics. How does it work? Extract the mission to your editor made missions folder, load it, and click preview. There's you and an enemy AI unit on the map. You try to get his attention while observing a couple of visual indicators and vital numbers about his spotting and target tracking. Can he see through bushes? Can you hide in tall grass? Can you flank and surprise him? How does the gear and AI skills affect all this? etc. Features: Some technical data in the corner of the screen. You can place down as many units as you want, all of them will have the detection symbols, but only one's numbers a shown. The enemy is marked with a colored circle which tells his state: â—‹ White = AI knows nothing about the target. â— Blue = AI has seen or heard the target, but doesn't know if it's hostile or friendly. â— Yellow = AI knows the target's side, but haven't seen it. This happens when a teammate has reported the target, or it has shot at the enemy. â— Green = The target has been spotted but not currently visible. â— Red = The AI currently sees or hears the target. I.e. knows its exact position. Big arrow floating around you indicating where the AI thinks you are. (in case he doesn't have a LOS to you.) Zeus module for controlling the units. Menu actions: Face target: Turns enemy units towards the target. Reset units: all units forget about eachother and turn away from their enemies. Camera: Starts the splendid cam right next to enemy's eyes. Enemy/target gear. Move AI: fly the AI guy around like a kite. Checking how they see through objects - is that treetop see-through? Set enemy stance and behaviour. + a few more handy actions To move this script to another map: (The default is Tanoa) Copy the init.sqf and functions.sqf to your mission folder. (Note: place and configure a zeus module named 'zeus1' to avoid an error message at mission start. Although the script will create the module anyway.) The monitored AI unit should be named 'enemy1'. If it doesn't exist, the script will select the closest enemy or spawn a generic one in front of you. The target should be named 'target1'. If it doesn't exist, you'll be the target. Downloads: On Tanoa or On Altis (Dropbox) Latest version: v1.20 July 20 2016 - Replaced the enemy camera with the splendid cam, which opens right next to the enemy - Added 'Freeze units' action - You can teamswitch to the enemy. A good way to check if what you see matches the AI vision. - some minor tweaks A short vid of it in action: (older v1.09) Note: this isn't any highly polished framework, just small toy/tool snippet for messing around with the AI in the editor. I don't think I'll develop this very actively but if you have any good suggestions or bug reports, please share them, and I'll see what I can do.

Very similiar to this: But my guess is it's a custom design.

Did you try installing straight from Steam or did you get the game from somewhere else?

It may be the way you start the installation. How exactly do you it?

Well nearly 7 m/s speed for a 15cm wide thing is supposed to look pretty fast, right? edit. Wait, aren't the cups spinning in the wrong direction..?

Yes they will. The folder acts like a real folder.

It's not visible in the editor, but you can...

Or simply don't make it into a mod at all, but just put a jpg in the mission folder and use setobjecttexture. Hence, it's not a private addon.

I think the expected key is the next weapon (or fire mode?) bind. And it apparently needs to be F specifically. Some people have had problems when it's bound to some other key.

Yes it worked and everything looked exactly like the first time, except for the big ass alien right in front of me.

If I'm not mistaken Project Lucie uses some iteration of Enfusion. Doesn't really prove much of its capabilities though. Source: https://teamsfsmilsim.com/2018/10/09/original-interview-with-bohemia-interactive-english-version/ It sounds like BISIM and BI don't have common engine developers.

My problem, and apparently OP's too, was that the drone never appeared. I reverted back to a save before arriving at the hill and then it properly spawned right next to the tower.

I'm stuck there too. I believe there's supposed to be another ship somewhere near the tower and communicating with the mothership isn't required. I think I'll try to load from earlier saves and see if I can get the second alien to spawn.

BI is not focusing on VBS since it's not their product. You're confusing them with Bohemia Interactive Simulations which is a different company with a similar name because of historical reasons. What BI has lost interest in, though, is Arma 3's engine. They have a new one now, Enfusion, which they have already tried VR with. Of course that doesn't necessarily mean there will be VR in the next Arma, but it's certain it won't be added in A3.

If you unbind the 1,2,3 keys you get the classic action menu entries back.

The wheat flattens on my end...? At least with tanks, I haven't checked if it happens with all vehicles. I was just wondering about this the other day, will Contact use flattened clutter, a decal texture, or a special object for the crop circles. 🤔

AI accuracy is affected by fatigue = TRUE First with full stamina, then forced to 0. Accuracy returns to normal only very near the full stamina. This was with 15% precision in the difficulty settings and zero (20%) unit skill. On higher skills the effect is small but still there..

My Battleye loves Statistics Server. Those two have always gotten along just fine. So it might be settings issue with your SS.

Yes. For example: while {true} do { sleep 60; if (sunOrMoon <1) then {setTimeMultiplier 4} else {setTimeMultiplier 2} };

If you want to take different lengths of day into account, you could check the daytime with if (sunOrMoon <1) then {setTimeMultiplier 4} else {setTimeMultiplier 2};

I believe he meant how the devs have said Dayz won't ever be "fully" Enfusion the way Bohemia has envisioned the complete engine, as some elements are still RV legacy. It's just semantics though. The game runs on Enfusion but perhaps not the 1.0 of it, like Arma4 possibly will.
