IrfanView will do so as well. Can stitch both sideways and top to bottom. Even has batch mode built in

Thanks for the vid. It was quite easy to reproduce. (one has to run immediately after killing the opfor guy) We'll look into that.Just a note: the AI has probably heard you (shooting (even suppressed shot would have been audible outside) & running) - that's a correct behavior. Wrong is that their estimate is too precise and they even fire thru the door only if player happens to be behind them.
There is another case similar to this that was raised some time ago with a video as well, http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=8226.
Thread in which it was raised: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?154708-OVER-POWERED-AI-!-Please-fix-this-for-final-game-ruins-coop&p=2393067&viewfull=1#post2393067

RE: Presets. What is the problem? Nobody even understands how the sliders in the menu or the numbers in the .cfg relate to each other. I doubt the devs do (otherwise we likely would've seen information about this on the biki, but in 13 years of the RV engine, zilch.) either, apart from the dedicated people working on the AI specifically. Presets in fact are the way to go from a game design point of view because they set a standard for what mission designers AND players can expect from the AI. On all levels, the difference between AI of a low skill and of a high skill should be broader, but what IS still important is transparency.
Word.

Fully concur - it really shines through that they have Top Men working on this campaign !

marqs, there was a wait for the support to drop in A2 as well. I remember having to seek out a good safe place for the drop
But as for A) I think that constraint (one drop only) is new in the A3 version ? IIRC you could order a mortar several times during a mission

Godsent, Kronzky, cheers! Can I ask how you would remove the time and area limitations from Patrol (your example above) - this was not possible with the old version or ?
-OP

Thanks Kronzky for not abandoning this great mod!

I'm quite curious about the bearing calls that have been changed. If that really works now would be awesome

Tungsten, do not excuse liking the F-14, its a gorgeous plane, I used to play a lot of Falcon 4 and I'm particularly fond of it with the skull signatures on the tail. Dont know if you have ever seen those? My comment on manouverability was based on Falcon that had quite realistic modelling of flight models and physics. But you may be perfectly right that not all variants share the same FM.
Anyway, I didnt realize that requests were for opfor fighters, sorry. The A10 will probably appear sooner or later, since it was in Arma2.
OP
-
Are we getting to do requests :) Because in that case, the F-14 makes no sense, it's a naval plane with hideous manouverability and standoff engagement with the phoenix that can be launched from 50 miles out. Perfect for something like Falcon 4 with its large world, but not for smallish Altis.
The A-10 on the other hand, it fits Arma3 like a glove. Both its role that ties it with the infantry and its ability to move low and slow :)

No. There is a userconfig flile included with the DL - (You need to place this file within your main A3 folder). Within your main A3 folder you will need to create a folder called userconfig, if you don't already have one there created.... (and then place the one within this DL into that folder). You can edit that userconfig with notepad to change aspects of TPW. Turning parts on and off.This is not quite accurate, I would say. An example of where the .hpp file needs to go is two levels below the main Arma3 folder:
f:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 3\userconfig\TPW_MODS\TPW_MODS.hpp
-
As for ideas, how about something to help place objects? Short of a proper 3D editor of course :)
-
Yes you should copy the new .hpp file over as well. IIRC, my userconfig folder is not called @TPW, just TPW? Perhaps something to consider...
-
The beta isn't dead, it just smells funny :) No, seriously, congratulations to the development team for getting past this crucial milestone, have some beers and relax over the weekend !
Next week will be the first week of the rest of Arma3's life - it is a good game already, and over time it will be a great one. Among all the drama on missing assets, there are good and valid observations on problems that need to be fixed. So keep up the dev mode of working with feedback tracker, AI threads and so on, and good things will come
Cheers,

Nice touch that the article on all furniture disappearing has an unclear UFO photo ;). And here we thought that they only abducted cows (before making those crop circles )

The non-destructibility of the environment gets me down every time. I drive a tank against one of those tin-sheds, shed wins! I fire several HE rounds against a tree, tree wins! I fire 20 main gun blasts against the tin-shed, it just stands there grinning once the dust settles (which looks cool, btw)Also, a battle tank should be able to drive through a wooden house (or tin sheds for crying out loud). Perhaps not wise to do so, but the laws of physics should allow it.
So it's either hitpoints of objects that are wrong, or the rounds are not configured properly. Or the various buildings are not physX enabled, just staffage
Just checked - the tin shed can be blown up and destroyed with an explosive charge. So the damage dealt from a battle tank main gun may be too small .....

Yes to boats - more common to see a fishing boat than a civilian helicopter on the Greek islands, unless of course it's David Bowie (who owns a mansion on Ios!)

The amount of locked down structures is somewhat of a letdown - brings back sad memories of Chernarus, where you couldn't use anything. For instance, the facility at 082108 is great looking and would let itself to an interesting scenario. But totally locked down - ladders everywhere, none of which you can climb, doors to the strange silo-like structures that don't open. Seems like a rushed job in parts, unfortunately.
Hope that some of the post-release content can be to finalise Altis - a great place but still needs more opening up

The banana is dancing in the hot summer sun. :(Seems like this might have caused some issues/conflict with ground parallax map depending on the weather conditions. Showcase infantry weather settings seem to cause the ground to "wobble", while the default editor settings don't show the issue.
Sniperwolf572, I just tried the infantry showcase. I am not seeing this, so it must be dependent on video settings (I have most of mine on Ultra). Not saying it is not a problem, if certain video settings can give this strange effect

All this good energy for telling about problems is really almost wasted, if you dont provide some kind of repro. Like "in this mission, once we enter the town of xyz the stutters start. Its on a w7 64 bit rig with 4gb of RAM. look, i made a video..."
-OP
-
Nice! Will the fish swim around flooded buildings, or are they bound to the "real" ocean ?
-
I really wonder if the AutoDetect takes into account how much RAM people have? It seems to look at the video card properties, and most likely CPU as well but perhaps not RAM ?
Agree that recommended settings for RAM need to be higher than 4 Gb - I monitored while playing a simple mission and I was constantly above 5 Gb of RAM usage
-
Yes, please, this was really useful for arma 2. Imagine being pinned down and being able to call for a UAV to recon the threats around you - really nice.

What I found about performance and I what I want to help fix it

should be optional to remove dead bodies. Often you need to go back to resupply, say a tank appears and you downed an AT guy a few minutes ago.
