Like the Ai being added to Reforger and think the new system in recruiting them is interesting. I dig it as it's a bit more immersive. I really miss the expanded Ai commands and ability in using them extensively via Radio commands. Use case is that it would be extremely helpful if you could actually kit out your group (Gear) and possibly apply templates you may have saved, similar to Warfare and other CTI game types in previous iterations of ArmA. This would be a welcome addition. I have yet to take a look at modding in Enfusion so have no idea if this can be added as a mod or not. As a random thought, it would also be a good addition to have different groups "skill" similar to how Ai skill is broken down in A3. Or that could be adjusted or be related to supply values. More skill more supply usage exponentially.

That's obvious and that's not the intention. Figured out how to do it and skip spawn selection on first join.

FYI for others that are searching how to script to lower the weapon, you can use this action with "action" to lower the weapon. Use it how you see fit: _dude Action ["WeaponOnBack", _dude];

That was not the intention. It's not meant to be condescending, it's meant to make you think before acting. Don't implement instructions, install things, etc without knowing its effects. Or ask. If you don't understand, ASK FIRST!!!! Actually, I also know better and that's why I don't use spaces to complicate data paths. You can use quotes in cmdline operations but why complicate the path. This also comes from experience. If you didn't follow the example in it's simplest form without knowing the ramifications, and you use spaces; I'm not responsible for that. I actually really don't care how super intelligent I come of or not... Maybe it's an intelligent person's dilemma looking around at all the idiots being too lazy to understand. (And no that's not directed at you since you seem to imply that... it's a generalism. But, if the shoe fits) There's basics to computing you need to know before using a computer or to follow basic instructions. Even Bohemia's article covering this states you need some basic knowledge.

That's your connection, firewall, or antivirus. If you don't know, get someone that can help you. Check your bandwidth with speedtest.net . If you can't figure this out, get someone that can help. Also as stated prior, either add exceptions or remove layers of Anti-virus products or "Internet Protection bundles you did not buy, install, or intentionally use. I don't know how many times I found with helping people that had "connection problems", "download problems", "Battleye problems", or "connection drops or kicks", all attributed to "Internet Protection". Usually they had 2 anti-viruses bundled with other software because they were just too impatient and just HIT YES on everything even when not even researching what they are installing. Only because some guy on Discord told them to do it. DO NOT BE THIS TYPE OF PERSON Check for bundled software like "anti-virus" products that bundle with the PC or with other software. Check "Apps" and see if you added junk on your PC or if it came with junk. 97+% of the time this is the problem. My Post was implying that you would use your own Drive letter. I've edited this for the people who just don't know. Check if you have a D:\ drive or if you have an E:\ drive....or for that matter an X:\ Drive first Use simplified paths. If you use a "path" that has spaces you need to use Quotes, but as @timmo Points out, don't use paths with spaces. You can use - or _ in paths.

I actually went with this and forgot to post what worked for me. This helps if the HC has not rebooted or it is reconnecting and using a "Profile" you have assigned. In the example below I'm using "HC_HAL" as the profile on my HC. ExileServer_system_network_event_onPlayerConnected.sqf private["_isKnownAccount"]; _uid = _this select 0; _name = _this select 1; if (( "headlessclient" in _name) || ( "HC_HAL" in _name)) exitWith {};

Hi folks, Yup, still keeping Exile alive these days like a few of you. Trying to sort out where I can declare a spawn location for a player that is new to the server. If anyone is familiar with the player joining server pipeline and can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. Understand this is not a beginner task and there's quite a few "case" or "if's" that will need to happen in order to fork the flow. Let me know if anyone has any ideas?

Have you allow listed the program with any AV products and excluded common directories? It sounds more like your AV is blocking things. Also allow the program through your firewall. Mods work fine for me and many others. Sounds like you have something local going on.

FYI for clarification because it's not quite clear for some and perhaps someone might have mistaken the two parameters.... You need to use the switch -addonDownloadDir not -addonsDir. The first will force the location of Download and Detection of mods and Workshop content in a custom directory. Here I will use my D:\ drive. You may not have the same drive letter. It also implies you are using an installed drive and not a detachable drive. -addonDownloadDir D:\DownloadedMods You do not need to add an "addons" folder in the line above -addonDownloadDir will create one. As stated before, make sure the location exists and your mods are copied over. Note on this as I had 20GB of mods to move. Go ahead and copy the addons folder in .\Documents\My Games\ArmaReforger\ to your destination and it will then have an addons location in the new directory. As an example when copying .\Documents\My Games\ArmaReforger\addons to (using example destination) D:\DownloadedMods, it should now have an addons folder there. This is key in detecting the mods you already downloaded. Fire up the game, then it will state it needs to sync the mods in the directory. Then after sync you will be good to go!

I wanted to see if someone could confirm what function is responsible for writing a new player to the database. Was wonder if someone has a flow or knows the operation of how this happens. Seen several functions partially responsible, but looking to track this down completely. I'm trying to exclude the headlessclient from writing a new player to the database. I'm about sick of cleaning "hc's" out of my database.

I've also been trying to keep this from happening as well as a Interactions Menu method. Still working on this and be glad to share what was figured out. As far as players not seeing other vehicles, usually it's a ownership thing with ArmA. I noticed if you get into it and it's within detectable distance, it will show in the list of configurable vehicles. Do like how you did your screens 😉

Go into your GOM_fnc_aircraftLoadoutInit.sqf, find the following lines and comment them out like so: /* { [_x,0] remoteExec ["setAmmoCargo",_x]; [_x,0] remoteExec ["setFuelCargo",_x]; [_x,0] remoteExec ["setRepairCargo",_x]; } foreach _nearbyVehs; */ This sets all the vehicles nearby to 0. By commenting it out you restore the "Ammo...", "Fuel...", and "Repair..." cargo for each type. You should still be able to source off them for resources as well. Just forewarning though. Some mods planes have weighted values that will empty the Ammo for the nearby ammo source. The theoretical indefinite supply can actually be used up by this mod, we have done it. So you may need a way you can either restore the ammo cargo, or simply acquire another ammo source. So don't be surprised if you run out of ammo.

To start, the naysayer's that are relatively new to the "Armaverse" (less than 10years) just need to put a cork in it and see what happens. Buckle up and see where the journey goes as a lot of us here have seen ArmA make some interesting twists and turns you couldn't have predicted years ago. As a long standing ArmA player & Mod dev (since ArmA 1, missed OFPS), I've seen things come and go, wishes for this and that come to fruition. Be patient is all I can say, all the stuff we were wishing ArmA 1 had; ended up in A2 and A3; and I'm pretty certain VR is a big initiative (or should be). While the dev's are in their early days of Reforger, they do need to make this (VR) a #2 or #3 initiative in the grand scheme of things. If they don't I fear that Bohemia again, might miss the boat and opportunity to capture new players that are dead set on VR. For the idea of making the game more approachable (which Reforger is, thank god as my friends have complained about this for years) , capturing the VR scoped players will be $$$ in the bank, a good ROI from a business stand point. As for the performance angle, this can not be assessed with advent of new hardware on the horizon (AMD RDNA 3 or Zen 4 on the X670E along with much more...Intel, Nvidia, etc). In about a year or 2 the hardware arena will be much more attainable and approachable and making VR in ArmA much more than a pipe dream.

Hi Folks, I run Kronik servers at the moment with Ketanna and we have been trying to optimize certain mods and plugins with Exile. One of the challenges I've been encountering is ExAd. Been simply told by some to not use it, but it has so many hooks into what we do. So wondered if anyone has optimized this a bit more than MonkeyNutz going in and removing pieces off ExAd's GitHub. I was wondering, does anyone have some ExAd optimizations or fixes? I have my own and willing to share, but at this moment it's pretty messy. In addition, I've been going through and cleaning up things we've been doing over the years (Kronik), and clearing out stuff we just kept pilling in our mission PBO. I've also been trying to track down certain Functions that are not listed in the CfgRemotExec, and finally going to start Exceptions for BattleEye based on some recent BattleEye Query Timeouts we've been getting. Before we were disregarding BattlEye kicks and rolling with it, but it's looking more and more like I need to do those dang exceptions. Any tips and trick are welcome and very well versed with ArmA and some scripting, but in no way am I going to promote myself as a professional codie. Yet I'm not *new* to this. I'll be glad to share my experiences thus far and some of what I've done and researched with Parameters files, the Max Numbers of mods to registered to steam, Headless Clients, etc etc. If you have an interest to check out the server and get an idea of what were seeing performance wise, you can find it on both A3Launcher (promoted), or on the standard Launcher by looking for "kronik". Let me know if you notice anything stands out. Already today I noticed the IgiLoad reloaded, so interested in updating this part. Thanks, Nutz (aka SirSmok@lot from A1 & A2 days)

No problems joining servers in reference to Ge Force. Ge Force will not cause this type of problem with ArmA. You might want to look more local or reach out to the server owners. Couple things to know: Video drivers or things like GeForce Experience don't hinder server joins. It either crashes the program or not. However a bad overclocking profile that you are setting, like a very aggressive overclock could. This is because the overclocking profile is not working well with ArmA and not related to the server. You can test this by opening the editor and placing a man on the map and running around. But this is all in reference to video driver stuff. Try to join with a newly created player profile. If you can then it's something in your normal Profile causing the issue. Usually when it gets to this point (referencing screenshot) it's trying to pull your profile or player data. High Pings, playing on wifi, server overtaxed (bad server FPS), or even high network activity on server can delay it. Just let it sit for a minute. If you did let it sit, then contact server admins and ask for advice and be ready to supply your local logs. Here's where local logs can be found: %localappdata%\ArmA 3\ (should be able to copy and paste this in the search box next to the windows flag to get to your local logs)
