Thank you to Janus & Nou for clarifying and explaining this new issue effecting 1.38: "Since 1.38 Arma 3 treats all event handlers equally with regards to their handling so any key can be blocked. The problem is Arma treats double key taps as two single key taps, meaning that internally if something blocks say ctrl then 2x ctrl will not work because its blocking both taps. Arma needs to treat 2x buttons as being their own event internally. So currently CBA is broken, Arma 3 is slightly broken, mods (such as AGM) now need to realize that they will ALWAYS block keys if they return true from keyboard events".

thx for the info

I get the following popup error since v1.4 update No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgPatches.stkr_l29a1'.

Yes I tried @CUP and @ASDG_JR together from the Six Repo and just @ASDG_JR on it's own. It's worth noting also that I'm using the 1.36 RC branch of A3 for clients and server.

@Kju, if I try to load the server with @asdg_jr the server gets stuck on "Unable to initialize Steam API." every time and will not auth with Steam. I remove it and it runs and auths just fine.

When playing on a dedicated server many of the weapons are glitching and bugging out. I've not seen it happen when testing in the editor or in single player but once on dedicated things go haywire!.

We are getting the exact same issue with clients crashing when playing on our RHS/AIA MP server. I've had no server side crash yet though. We had RHS (testers) before A3 1.34 came out and it was totally stable when used with AIA. I've spend probably the best part of 3 days trying to figure out the cause to no avail. What I can say is we were not getting these client side crashes before the A3 1.34 update. We are getting the same clientside crashes with 1.34 release, and v1-v4 perf binaries. We are currently running version 4 of the client/server performance binaries and still getting client crashes. We also run a vanilla server and are getting an increase in clientside crashes. I think the crashes are due to sound issues... To quote Dwarden. Ref: version v4 perf binary: "The performance client binary might be quite interesting to players who experience sound or crash issues as quite some of that is fixed in it". Client side crashes are worse for us on our RHS/AIA server than the Vanilla server. My guess is that it is sound related but more likely to happen when running RHS/AIA. This is course just a gut feeling and not based on any definitive proof!.

Same here. Latest version. Works fine from editor preview but not on dedicated, no actions at all. I'm attaching it to spawned units using the following code depending on the units: (my mission has the script in a scripts folder) _null = allUnits execVM "scripts\H8_dragBody.sqf"; 0 = [_unit] spawn H8_addDrag; "O_Soldier_AA_F" createUnit [_randomPos, _spawnGroup,"0 = [this] spawn H8_addDrag;"]; Also a few things I've noticed after some quick debugging: Client side debug console output after a few hours: Command: diag_log format ["%1: console -> H8_dragUnitArray: %2", missionName, H8_dragUnitArray]; Result: "Co52_AltisTotalWar_1_14: console -> H8_dragUnitArray: [b Alpha 1-1:1 (Headless-Client) REMOTE,<NULL-object>,<NULL-object>,<NULL-object>,<NULL-object>,<NULL-object>,<NULL-object>,<NULL-object>,5371a040# 1813611: invisibleman.p3d REMOTE,<NULL-object>,<NULL-object>,<NULL-object>,B Alpha 3-2:1 REMOTE,B Alpha 3-2:2 REMOTE,B Alpha 3-3:1 REMOTE,B Alpha 3-3:2 REMOTE,B Alpha 4-1:1 REMOTE,B Alpha 4-1:2 REMOTE,<NULL-object>,<NULL-object>,<NULL-object>,<NULL-object>,53664080# 1813621: invisibleman.p3d REMOTE,<NULL-object>,B Bravo 1-2:1 REMOTE,B Bravo 1-3:1 REMOTE,B Bravo 2-1:1 REMOTE,B Bravo 2-2:1 REMOTE,B Bravo 2-3:1 REMOTE,B Bravo 2-3:2 REMOTE,<NULL-object>,<NULL-object>,<NULL-object>,<NULL-object>,<NULL-object>,<NULL-object>,<NULL-object>,<NULL-object>,<NULL-object>,<NULL-object>,<NULL-object>,<NULL-object>,<NULL-object>,<NULL-object>,<NULL-object>,<NULL-object>,<NULL-object>,<NULL-object>,<NULL-object>,<NULL-object>,O Delta 1-1:1 REMOTE,O Delta 1-1:1 REMOTE,<NULL-object>,<NULL-object>,<NULL-object>,<NULL-object>,<N[/code] Command: [code]diag_log format ["%1: console -> H8_increments: %2", missionName, H8_increments]; Result: "Co52_AltisTotalWar_1_14: console -> H8_increments: 545" So it's not removing any units that get cleaned up (my mission removes bodies after a few hours anyway) i.e <NULL-object> from the PV'd H8_dragUnitArray therefore the array increases in size exponentially over time.

Same issue here on our dedicated.

The new ForceWeatherChange command applied on server now syncs weatherstate (the current overcast value) from server to clients correctly. However when a player JIPs into a running game the nextWeatherChange value on the server (and client) breaks. If the nextWeatherChange values don't match or change from that specified by setovercast then the rate at which the overcast value changes on clients will differ too resulting in unsynced weather. I have submitted a bugtracker ticket here I'd be very interested for some feedback from the BI developers regarding this and/or some of the community downloading the repro mission and testing my findings themselves. Thanks for your time :)

We (the ALiVE devs) are not doing anything special in the CQB module in ALiVE with CSAT. All the we do is reference the config group name in this case OPF_F Ohally has got some dynamic uniform scripts running in Agressors to vary the uniforms so we're guessing it's something in there.

Has anyone come across this issue before? It would appear that the Aggressors configs override the default Bi CSAT's units uniforms. If I remove Aggressors they appear with default CSAT clothing.

You can run with either but I recommend you use the latest (5).

ALiVE. I've tried them with and without ASR and bcombat AI scripts too on dedicated and the Aggressors act very differently from vanilla OPF_F and even the Russians addon in all my tests using the same AISkill settings for said factions, they don't seem to want to engage, fire back at ranges above 100 metres and their aim and reactions are slowed. They seem to have no issues throwing grenades at any opportunity however.

No the hotfix did not.

I can confirm this. We killed 90+ Aggressor Taliban (caf_ag_me_t) with no deaths last night (10+ players) , the Ai will throw grenades but will not fire at you, at least not unless you are 5 metres from them. This was on the latest A3 stable 115915 and 1.5 Aggressors. I might point out that Gunny's video was made pre A3 stable 115915 release.

ditto ;)

UPDATE: 7th Feburary 2013 There are many issues and bugs in the current PDB standalone version. Development of the standalone PDB scripts has ceased and I have moved development be to exclusively for MSO where PDB development has really moved on massively in MSO 4.6. Myself and the MSO dev team will also be working on a new MSO PDB version for Arma3 when it's released which will be in addon form. I am no longer offering support for this old standalone version of PDB. You can get support for the new PDB integrated into MSO on our dev-heaven site here MSO support is here and here The latest development files can be found here UPDATE: 22nd June 2012 Over the last month or so I have been working on a set of scripts that can be integrated into any ArmA2 missions that will allow for persistent player and game/mission data to be stored in a serverside database and retrieved on command. No clientside addons are required and it is compatible with Windows dedicated servers. All that is required is that both CBA and Arma2NET addons be loaded serverside together with a MYSQL database. This only works on dedicated servers. There are potentially many applications for this so I'd very much welcome your suggestions whilst I'm still in the development stage. Many thanks to Sickboy for his help and expert advice!

I'm sorry to rain on your parade (excuse the pun) but your script will not sync on clients. You are not taking into account the nextWeatherChange variable which at present cannot be set by any script you might make. The skiptime trick only draws the clouds locally and will not enable syncing on jip clients. A 15 minute weather creation will do nothing since nextWeatherChange is hard coded to the engine for 60 minutes in the first instance (independent on all clients) and 30 minutes thereafter. On a side note, furthermore your script does not take into account the setWaves, setGusts, setWindForce, setWindDir and setLightnings commands. Please don't take this as a personal attack on your script, it's a nice try, believe me we have spent a lot of time researching the internal weather functionality and no amount of scripting will fix this issue until the BI address the internal commands first. We would all love to see synced weather functionality!. Please read the following ticket for further information and please vote it up.
