Thanks for the heads up. Added new download link and included the APL agreement.

As per PM, feel free to re-use. Please be aware that the inShadow function is rather CPU intensive. Have fun!

I noticed that it can take a long time before dead bodies in an AI group are removed from their group. In order to make sure that I only have living men in my group, without deleting the bodies, I do the following: units _MyGroup select {not alive _x} join grpNull; However, this creates a new group every time I cleanup a group with casualties. The alternative I can think of is butt-ugly: if (isNil "GraveYardGroup") then { GraveYardGroup = createGroup [Friendly,False]; }; units _MyGroup select {not alive _x} join grpNull; Isn''t it possible to force some kind of cleanup without actually deleting the dead bodies? For example something like this: TRASHCOLLECT (units _MyGroup select {not alive _x});

Cool! Please be aware that there is a native ArmA3 function that I was not aware of. (I haven't tried it myself though) Thanks to Tortuosit for pointing it out:

Cool idea! Maybe putting the concept in an FSM and train a neural network for decisionmaking. It would probably also need the inclusion of contact drills, or the result will be rather weak and hellishly boring to look at. I have to agree with x3kj's remark though. [ click here to start now ]

I was wondering: what did Altis look like before the war? This script will replace all destroyed and neglected buildings with their maintained versions. Copy & Paste the code below to an INIT.SQF This is just a quick test to satisfy my own curiosity. - Not suitable for multiplayer - Renovation of Altis will take quite some time to complete - Not all vehicle wrecks will be removed from the map Have fun! // configuration items _position = [15360,15360,0]; _range = 21723; // main _replaceList = [ [ "Land_d_Addon_02_V1_F" , "Land_i_Addon_02_V1_F" ],

That is correct. The function was created to allow calculation of energy build-up in a body. It does this by calculating the position of the sun and checks for collissions between the body and the sun. (a rather CPU intensive thing I must admit) I did not account for moon, stars nor artificial light, because their energy radiation is negligible. Sorry...

C# is easier. --- On 8-12-2017 at 4:00 PM, Matthijs said: C#, is fairly easy to learn from Bob Taylor's series. Probably also a nice step-up to C++. I never tried to compile on Linux using Mono (http://www.mono-project.com) and have not heard of it.

If you want to create an extension (.dll / .so), I don't think you will have any other option than using C++ or C#.

Maybe you could give a bit more information. Do you have programming experience? If not, you may want to start here: https://mva.microsoft.com/en-us/training-courses/c-fundamentals-for-absolute-beginners-16169?l=Lvld4EQIC_2706218949 After Bob Taylor's course, you should be use this and create what you want: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Extensions#How_to_make_an_extension_in_C.23 If you are an experienced programmer, you may want to try this: https://www.google.com/webhp?q=develop+arma+3+extension

This is sooooo awesome! It's the missing piece to enable a persistent virtual world across different islands. Great work KeganH and KZK! Isn't this a missing feature or known issue, instead of a bug? Maybe an "Abort game" button on the overlay could fix this issue?

I reported the issue on the CUP bug tracker, because it could be reproduced on Chernarus, Everon, and Bystrica. The problem is in their powlines_woodl object.

I love the atmosphere of this terrain and especially the enterable buildings! Great work! I will be playing on this map a lot. Bug report Small issue with street lights: if you shoot a street light, the illumination is gone but the street light itself is still "on." Shooting the lamp again will turn it off for a fraction of a second, but it comes back on right away. I tried demolition charges but that also did not help.
