We do still want to do this in a future update, and a large part of the prep is done. There are some back-compat issues we are considering (f.e. NATO Pacific character load-outs may have to change, which could potentially affect scripted systems that manipulate magazines via config classes directly).

Hah, good point. We kind of accepted this instructor into our family as a beautiful love baby by Pettka and Jay, but now that we have the heads ... (it will not likely change for the reason @lexx points out)

Hi everyone! So we've just finally revealed what the "Orange DLC" project is all about: Arma 3 Laws of War DLC. For more in-depth information also check out our OPREP and Developer Diary on this project. Please use this thread to share all of your general feedback, thoughts, comments, suggestions, and more (but not too much more ). If you have concrete bug reports, share them on Feedback Tracker as per usual, and we'll try to get as many of them sorted ahead of the full release in future updates. Thanks!

It's possible these weekly updates will receive at least the very basic of 'smoke tests' to filter out game-breaking bugs (unlike so far, where Dev-Branch updates have mostly been blind fire ). And of course we retain the ability to do ad hoc updates whenever it is needed or desired to test something specific. The main change is that the default frequency will no longer be daily ("logistical issues" was fun for a short while ).

It's deliberate until we find reasonable (read: internal best * community skills ^ ninjas) medal times to set. Several more structural changes were still happening, such as new CPs, so medal times would not yet mean much. The final times will probably be plugged in next week.

Please let us know your thoughts on the Laws of War DLC assets (vehicles, weapons, character gear, props, etc.). Find out more about the asset production process in our OPREP on this topic. If you discover concrete issues, the most effective reporting method for us is Feedback Tracker. How do I access the assets? Main Menu: Shift + P In the DLC Content Browser, select Laws of War and explore its contents. Some assets have a TRY button that will open the asset in ... Main Menu: TUTORIALS > VIRTUAL ARSENAL (For vehicles, switch to the Garage mode at the top of the screen) Each asset category shows the appropriate DLC / mod icons behind each asset for easy identification. Use Sort by mod to make it even easier to find them. Note: in this mode you should be able to preview the assets without DLC ownership. Main Menu: EDITOR In the Asset Browser on the right, all assets are marked by the DLC / mod icon. Use Filter by mods option and select Arma 3 Laws of War. And you'll of course encounter the assets during gameplay! What assets are available?

From the outset the Laws of War DLC was going to focus on assets and playable content. However, there was room to enhance a few existing features relevant to the theme. A bunch of modest improvements to cluster munitions have been scattered over the past few updates (free for all players of course). Let's discuss them in this thread, and as always, please post concrete issues to Feedback Tracker. Note: expanded Community Wiki documentation is forthcoming. Most new properties are already described: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/CfgAmmo_Config_Reference https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Weapon_Config_Guidelines#Ammo_changes_on_fly_and_on_hit What changes does this cover? Added: Cluster Bombs (3 factions - see Pylon settings of aircraft) Previously only artillery cluster munitions were supported. Added: Unexploded Ordnance (3 factions x 4 triggers) Trigger types: Common: basically functions as a regular 'mine' Delayed: detonates a while after 'triggering' Tough: takes a lot of manipulation before detonating Sensitive: BOOM (even animals will set these off) These can be placed in Eden Editor, but are also randomly left behind after deploying various types of cluster munitions. The CAS module now features Bomb Strikes. Added: APERS Mine Dispenser* This means engine support for a mine that basically detonates like a sub-munition. Deployed mines can now have a randomized rotation. Various new SFX / VFX were added, as well as camera shake. The engine now supports control over sub-munition speed and ammo type randomization. * Restrictions apply for those who don’t own Arma 3 Laws of War DLC.

As far as I read there were some performance heavy script calls made when they shouldn't. This was related to the Key Frame Animation module implementation.

Sadly not in a clean engine way; this was a limitation we'd also have liked to addressed, but we didn't find resources available.
