75th-VFS-Striker

Thank you very much. This is all very helpful. I downloaded your mission and I'll check it out today.

Thank you, that's exactly what I'm doing. I'll also check out H8termaker's as well but can't find them. Would you happen to have a link to the videos or Youtube channel?

RGR & thanks, I found his tutorials but he goes through stuff so fast it's a little hard to follow. I'll view them again and see if it's something I can work up to. I was hoping that there was something a little slower paced for someone at my level.

I've been looking at a lot of Youtube videos but still haven't been able to find any really good information on this. In the original ArmaIII campaign, Captain Miller stands at a table and talks and his character is very animated moving around and pointing. What I want to know is this very difficult to do? I would like to create NPC where you walk up to them and get information. They don't have to be that animated but I would like them to talk using pre-recorded dialogue. I've also seen missions where a text area pops up in front of them and you have to select it to initiate the conversation. Are there any good tutorials on doing these things?

OK, thanks. I thought it would just be some simple initialization script. I didn't realize it was so involved. I've seen it on a lot of servers in the past and in the old Chernarus campaign so I thought it would be fairly easy to do.

I've searched the forums and either I'm not searching for the correct thing or it's in a different category. I would like to make the light and heavy factories functional so I can go up to them and order a vehicle. I would also like to make the ground radar station functional so it rotates. Right now they're just static objects and do nothing. Any help would be appreciated.

OK, You need to calm down and stop being condescending. I didn't yell at anyone or say your jerks for not responding, I just said that you didn't. I also said that I do appreciate the help here. It seems like this is a better place to post problems because most of you are here and available. People don't use email as much as they used to so I probably should have come here first instead. I understand what the problems are now and how to kind of work through them slowly now. I'll try to resolve them on my own and work through them the best I can and won't post here unless I run into a serious problem and need help and I will try to provide more specifics. I'm new to running a dedicated server so a lot of this is foreign to me. I also want to reiterate what I said before. The CUP units and maps are really great and I want to use them. So that's the only reason that I was posting what I did because I wanted to get help so I can make use of them. I'll be happy to donate because you guys deserve it.

Where it freezes up on loading and you can't get past the map as a client. I was just wondering because it looks like this is an issue directly related to the Australia map. I was just wondering if you had run into any issues like this with the CUP maps.

OK, it looks like the Australia map is what's causing the error. I removed it from the list and it loads OK now so thank you for that suggestion. I have one other though. Have you run into any problems with CUP being incompatible with Alive?

OK, you didn't respond to me from the message that I sent you on the 23rd saying that I'm not using Steam Workshop and I also sent you a message yesterday that you didn't respond to. So anyhow, that's why I posted what I did. I'm not angry and you shouldn't be either. I'm just trying to resolve the problem. I also asked about the order of the files and if I needed everything but it looks like I can just use the Terrains Complete only. Is this correct. Disregard, question answered. Anyhow, I am using 2 other maps. Bornholm and Australia. I can try disabling them if that's going to be your next suggestion.

Because I sent you another email stating that I was still having problems and you either didn't respond or didn't get it. I'm still getting the same error. I'm not running them from the Steam Library on the server. Is it possible to update them on the server when they're not installed from the Library? This is my first time running a dedicated server so I'm not familiar with all of the functions at this time.

I've been running into a problem with the CUP Terrains Complete and I was wondering if anyone else had this problem. I run a dedicated server and when I try to load the mod I get this error. Addon 'CUP_Buildings_config' requires addon 'CUP_Buildings2_data'. I don't have this problem using any of the other CUP mods. This just happened after that last BI Arma3 update. I sent the CUP developers an email but they haven't responded to me.

That's a seriously sucky "feature" in my opinion. But just for the record I set it to standard and the problem went away. Thanks for telling me what to do.

I've been having this strange problem since I purchased A3. I thought it might be an AMD graphics issue but I just built a brand new system. I have a Rampage IV Extreme with a GTX970 card now with all the latest drivers. Can someone please explain why the ground shifts like this and if there's a fix? I never had this problem with Arma1 or Arma2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kivdn7dtvFk&list=UU7QEGkl52wvpl55_91VvE5A

I found out what the problem was. Someone connecting to me was running mods and didn't tell me. The next time he connected he mentioned it and that's when I realized it was his enabled mods that were causing the problem. I've been hosting 6 or 7 people without any problems now. I have plenty of bandwidth and I should be able to host up to 10 players without any trouble.
