NeoArmageddon

I think we should now stick to the paradigm: "Don't feed the troll".

You are absolutly right, because we player are official alpha testers. If you are not happy with this, uninstall ArmA3 Alpha and wait for the full release. Actually you just preordered ArmA3 via Steam and BIS allows(!!!) you to play an early alpha. Nothing more! This iteration of the RV engine is one of the most advanced engines out there. Why you are calling it old? Because it's not newly created from scratch? Because it has no fancy new name and just a new number? Most of todays engines has been in development over years and in many iterations without complete redesign (e.g. Elders scrolls). I think a mod should close this thread, as we move in circles here.

If I go to ArmA3 Alpha in steamshop, there is this gamedescription: .Having an alpha in steam is NOT something different since steam is now offering their "Eearly Access"-program. You buy an Alpha for helping the developer tracing bugs and getting feedback. Nothing more. You got what you bought.

The toolstip of "Multi-display/mixed GPU acceleration" hints that this option is only related to OpenGL-Renderers. ArmA3 uses an DX10/11 renderer so your better or lower FPS with changing this option is probably just a placebo effect. BTW: I have an GTX670 and I get smooth 50-70 FPS while antialiasing is set between 2-8 and 3D-resolution is set to 120%. I disabled postprocessing completely (I hate those effects).

Heyho, at the moment I try to restore waypoints of transfered Groups. This could allow the creation of a serverside HC-Addon which turns every non-HC mission into a HC enabled mission. I still have some problems with group locality and rebuilding waypoints. If someone is interested in my scripts, I posted them here: http://www.modfact.net/forum/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=93 (german forum, but the scripts are commented in english). I also have a real Server with HC (client with dedicated key - thanks to ArmAX from A3 Supporter Edition). If someone without a real HC wants to test his own HC implementations or missions, just PM me and we can test them on my server.

Go to the section you posted this thread in and have a look at all those pinned thread. Using forums search or opening your eyes would have revealed the answer to your question.

Description: With the first updates in the alpha development branch we noticed that the required server version is not readable in the A3 serverbrowser. This makes finding an updated server very difficult. This addon makes the "required version"- and servertype-field readable again. Here is a Before-After picture: http://www.modfact.net/data/at_ui_before_after.png Features: Moves the servertype in MP-browser one line up to make both, servertype and serverversion, readable. Moves the "players"- and "expensions"- list down, to make those boxes and their headline less ugly. (Obviously) Clientside. Serverkeys included. Download: ModFact.net Mirror Licence: CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 Additional Info: I know that ArmA3 is just alpha and I know that with a official UI update/fix this addon will be useless. I just felt that this fix important for further mp testing in steam development branch and I wanted it fixed asap (so I fixed it myself). Perhaps we will expand this addon to a small UI fix compilation, if we see such a demand.

I personally don't play with ACE mod and thus I can't help you with those changes. Adding new units shouldn't be this hard and if you keep original credits, you can edit and rerelease the mission on your own. P.S. Maybe I will start working on a ArmA3 Alpha port.

Heyho, I renewed the downloadlink in the first post. I also added my unfinished Takistan port of Escape Chernarus (I call it unfinished, because I never released it... but everything should work fine). Features of the Takistan version: Takistan units (takistan infantry, uh1, BMP, ...) Heli extraction My custom loadout mod for enemy unity (this means more weapons!) Smaller fixes of the original Escape Chernarus from Engima. Credits for mission design and most scripts still go to Engima of Östgöta Ops. I just ported this mission and added some features and fixes.

I had no problems with my old paa files. They are transparent 512x512 pngs, exportet as tga via paint.net and then saved as paa with texview. TGA export was set to 24bit (otherwise I couldn't load them in texview).

Just got my key and I have to say: I would buy again in BIStore!

Guys, don't let this thread become another "I want my key". Stay at granQ's topic: True supporters don't want into the credits.

So you want BIS to tell their marketing section to go home, because the people from the store are busy dealing with a problem in the order process? Think before you post!

Our mail looks like the old "non steam" mail, where you just get a DL link to your account (to the sprocket-downloader). BTW:

So now I am curious why some people get a key and other just a broken link. Looks like a bug in the order processing.

The SKU is not a steam key.

Which version? Supporter? or Deluxe?

Jep. I have no problem with waiting for my ArmA3 key, but that supporters have to wait, while all other can play is some kind of a disappointment. Another question: Has anybody ordering the support edition received a key via mail or just the broken DL link?

@Alwarren For me it tookes about 30 mins between paypal confirmation and my BIS confirmation mail.

Heyho! I just noticed that the arma2 linux server is exposing itself as "Flashpoint/1.91" to a webserver, when it fetchs a squad.xml. The normal game or the WinServer says "BiGameEngine" when fetching xmls.

This script is what I need! I am working on a method to track a players statistics via squad.xml emulation but I was in need of a way to query arbitrary servers by there IP (other php based solutions I found were broken). I will report my feedback soon.

At the moment I am working on a PHP and MySQL based Squad-Member-Manager with dynamic squad.xml generation. For more information you can contact me via PM.

It's already reported in the beta discussion threads. The new beta should fixed problem http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?146683-ARMA-2-OA-beta-build-102285-(1-62-MP-compatible-build-post-1-62-release)
