But if they own the servers themselves - Then it not that easy. Plus whats to stop them from just signing up with another service provider, or getting their own server(s) if they not already using their own?!

You all do realise that legal action is complex and time consuming. Forcing A3L offline for good is not something BI can do overnight, first they must mediate with the owners/operators of A3L to get them to cease and desist, if that fails, then legal action would be needed (especially if they using their own servers). Then you have the added complexity of international boundaries, jurisdiction etc. You can't take someone to court if they in a different country (unless an agreement exists between your country and the country (or countries) they are resident in), you have to go to their country regardless since they'll be defendants - it same for each defendant, meaning BI may have to make claims in courts of various countries to get all the operators to cease and desist etc. But on top of that, in order for legal action to be successful, you need to build a solid case against the defendants. The onous of proof is on BIS, to prove they are in breach of license agreement, to proof they are using modders creations without their consent. That can take months to do!! End of day BIS said they are looking into it, they are not however going to give A3L operators a heads up by publicly stating what they going to do here now are they?! Especially when doing so could do more harm then good. I.e. if they say anything now that a court later disagrees with they could find themselves being counter sued for libel!

"Hold breath is now separated to Left Shift so you don't have to always hold breath while you're in optics" Haven't tried it out yet, but can someone tell me if this means we can no longer (by default) use right mouse button to hold breathe whilst in optics?

In that case, only other thing i can think off is a complete uninstall and re-installation of the game and see what happens then. If that doesn't work then it may be an issue with your steam client. Though if other recently updated games (updated yesterday or after) work then i can't see it being steam.
-
Have you verified integrity of game cache via steam? As it maybe your game files were corrupted or not all files downloaded! I do the above every time the dev build is updated prior to playing the game.

Most of the issues you mentioned could be worked round with scripting i would expect, and you should have posted this thread in one of the forum pages here http://forums.bistudio.com/forumdisplay.php?169-ARMA-3-EDITING I believe the only reason we do not have a module for each specific possible action or usage is simply down to the lack of development time needed to do it. Hence why BI allow the use of scripting and provide a Biki for it and threads in the forum so we can share our own scripting knowledge. As for interchangeable uniforms, i doubt that can be worked around as BIS removed that feature due to it being a war crime under the Geneva convention for opposing forces to use each others uniforms. The only exception being for espionage carried out by secret services (Spies), where other rules under international law apply.

I believe the Dev's have already stated that is never going to happen. Best your going to get is content ports made by the community as BIS have released arma 2 content for modders to port to Arma 2. You also have AllInArma mod too which contains arma 2 maps and content, just not the campaigns, plus the Arma 2 modules in the editor don't work well or not at all in arma 3.

To be fair, whilst they may have other jobs already and family, the fact they could still be paid for the AI mod work in their spare time, and send their work directly to BIS (via secure file transfer or similar systems) to implement test etc and provide to the rest of us in game updates. Means they wouldn't have to then give up their jobs or move house, let alone to another country. As they would basically simply being getting paid for what they already do at home in their spare time! Perhaps holding a competition for the best AI mod would be a good idea too. With a financial prize of course. Though obviously not hundred of thousands like "the make arma not war" competition.

how many AI you can play? (singleplayer)
teaboy replied to sgtsev3n's topic in ARMA 3 - QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Well i can spawn about 150 to 200 and get stuttering (Mainly in towns) but micro stutter in some rural places (countryside) where lots of AI are present. Using the Alive mod, with all areas off the map populated with AI, i can get loads of stuttering when first starting the mission, but it settles to about 15-20fps after about 10 minutes, which is just about playable for me. -

teaboy replied to sgtsev3n's topic in ARMA 3 - QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Your asking a question where its answer is determined by what YOUR system specs are!! In other words, there is no answer, as its different for each person. It will also depend on what else is going on in the mission, like triggers and scripts etc. Basically you could spawn Hundreds or even over a thousand or so of AI and it may or may not cause you lag, depending on your system and your settings. -
If its Mod related then your best asking the mod creator.

Steam says "No Connection" here, but its still downloading for me.
-
Yeah restart steam and it will start to download.
-
Downloading now 1.5GB - Should be done in about 15mins
-
Awesome news - Thanks to all of you guys at BIS.
-
Well that's weird then - I'm in the UK and its says 3:09am :confused:
-
It could still be tonight when we get the update (it was 6:30pm GMT when we got Zeus update) so its possible they are working overtime to get it out tonight. Ahh i see. Yeah i just had no connection pop up on steam.
-
I don't see that i see this under the photo 3:09 AM - 13 Mar 2014 here the link i have https://twitter.com/Arma3official/status/444052500019433472 Anyone else having problems accessing steam?
-
Well the photo was clearly not taken today, since it was 3am UK time (4am in prague) when it was uploaded to twitter, so no daylight at the time of the posting - So "back tomorrow" could be a joke reference to those in the photo based on when it was taken, meaning tomorrow being today. But who knows? Guess it depends how long the electric was out, how much work they lost etc, or if they were simply eating lunch outside yesterday!
-
They could be just teasing us, making us think we won't get the update today only to spring it on us, like they did with Zeus. The photo itself on twitter was only uploaded at 3am UK time (4am in Prague) this morning. Yes... I know... Wishful thinking! Anyway, i thought they had their own back up generators at camp Bohemia?! - Best send out the scouts to locate some if they don't!

No hacking software is 100% hack proof, especially when games can be modified as much as ARMA games can be. You should try and join a clan or play on clan servers instead of the servers shown in the in game MP interface. I have only ever seen a few hackers myself on public servers since Battleeye was implemented TBH. As for VAC, yeah wait till you get wrongly accused of cheating - Then lets see how much you like it when you can not longer play your games on secured servers and only ones with no anti-cheat or with their own anti-cheat program. Anyway with ARMA 3 being as modifiable as it is, VAC would probably stop most of us from playing MP from the word go and then we'd all be playing on unsecured servers with the hackers and cheaters.

Will someone explain the whole Zeus game mode to me?
teaboy replied to beavis_5000's topic in ARMA 3 - ZEUS
Yes and we are all pleased to meet you Mr Spell Checker - You do know that some people are dyslexic and make such simple spelling mistakes! Hell even non-dyslexic suffers make such simple mistakes - Its called typing to fast and not proof reading before posting. Seriously, do we really need the spelling police out enforce in the ARMA community? No we Don't! And yes i am dyslexic myself, and find it offensive when people make comments like yours, especially when you have no idea how those like myself spend time checking our spelling and grammar so that it actually makes sense to you. -
Its a shame that in the Zeus MP mode you can not have AI enabled players for those that like to play LAN as single player, similar to how you could with Warfare in A2. Instead your forced to have to wait for a Game Master and other human players to join. Same applies for an AI Game Master too, but hey ho.

I also have the Scope's cross hair displaying next to the white cursor when in 1st person and 3rd person view - Same scope as shown in the pictures above, haven't tested other scopes..
