  1. Would it be possible to increase the amount of fatigue a particular soldier is able to have, so that some sort of leveling up would become possible? Level 1 soldiers would get easily fatigued, but a level 10 soldier would be able to run much farther than the vanilla fatigue system currently allows. This could allow additional gameplay incentives to not run and gun, because you would be set back a level or reset to level 1. Possible with current system?

    Mantle, SteamOS and Arma 3

    Probably - there is no evidence yet, so my statement is not based on any fact other than the elimination of a lot of windows overhead! Removing that huge bloat should do wonders for performance, but you are correct to remain skeptical. However, you do not have to have OGL implemented if you just provide MANTLE to supported GPUs. Implementing MANTLE and OGL seems like an even bigger hurdle to cross, and the real question is what nVidia GPUs will be supported. AMD GCN cores are all supported and that covers cards that are almost three years old now.

    Mantle, SteamOS and Arma 3

    MANTLE will provide a graphical boost so incredible that even the most optimized OGL solution will not be able to touch. Add to this the ability to take existing DX code and you have a killer API! This is what Carmack has been bitching about for years, and with the resources at AMD's disposal, MANTLE could really be a game changer.

    Terrain Improvement (dev branch)

    This is AMAZING WORK, NordKindchen! I hope BIS devs will either devote some resources to implement this or provide tools for modding superheroes like yourself to make this happen! This improvement is astounding!

    custom waypoint

    Haha - been playing since OFP and never knew that! Thanks, guys
  6. Are there any plans to incorporate the new MANTLE API into Arma3? Mantle allows porting of DirectX code to the API, eliminating windows graphics overhead and speeding up graphics processing. Chuck has a good article on MANTLE: http://semiaccurate.com/2013/09/30/amds-mantle-biggest-change-gaming-decade/

    custom waypoint

    Is there a way to mark a custom waypoint on the map? Or is there a mod that would allow such a thing? Ideally, the user would just click on the map and make a waypoint which would show up in first person view when playing. It would be nice for the main game to have this, so that all MP games would support a custom user waypoint.
  8. Remember what the devs said on the eve of the release... Dev branch has weeks of tweaks and improvements coming, but things will be broken and need fixing as they merge them into the dev branch. I just hope the vehicles get heavier as we go along.

    AI Discussion (dev branch)

    Folks need to relax and understand how large-scale projects are released! BIS will be supporting and improving Arma3 for a long time. The best is yet to come and it is great already!
  10. Thank you BIS! I have been thrilled since the beginning with OFP and quickly signed up for the Arma3 alpha the first day it was available! Your company is spectacular!

    Altis: Criticism and Suggestions

    No need for a mountain range, but more variation in elevation would increase the visual interest and provide additional gameplay and strategy!

    Altis: Criticism and Suggestions

    The first impression from viewing Altis is stunning, but I noticed it was a little flat. I don't know if this can be adjusted without disturbing all of the perfectly placed objects and buildings. LESS FLAT would be my only suggestion.

    Domination is all I played in Arma2, and I only played a heavily modded version in offline in lan mode, saving and reloading for days until completed! I am overjoyed to see the legend continued -- Hope that this works in lan like Arma2! THANKS!!
  14. Obvious which is which - what a great improvement! Thanks for making this!!
  15. count allUnits Am I doing something wrong? The count allUnits command does not seem to be working and is returning 51 each time it is called.
