Searched: thread closed.
I have a 3: 1920x1080 set up showing 5784(?)x1080 in the Windows resolution configuration.
I am seeing the described warping on the side panels and I have selected the 24:5 ratio.
Is there a solution to the warping that I can apply or even change the depth of field config file to address it?
Thanks!

If I remember correctly, when the Alpha first came out, rain was a selectable feature. After a release or so, I think it was removed.
I thought that I would wait for the BETA to be set before I asked about this feature not being there.
I have tried to select rain for a mission, but it is not available, even if you select the overcast storm icon before trying.
If it was removed, I don't remember seeing a post on it.
Is this feature not available again yet?

Thanks Simon, this works very well.

Now that we have steerable parachutes, does anyone have an init code and script that will work in A3 yet?

I am still a little confused here...
I am running the .61 on my client. I have the dev build selected on my server. I have created the 3 virtual servers and their own paths.
I see my server version is .59.
I have added "+app_update 107410 -beta development" to the steam_appid.txt file in each server instance to try to get them to run the dev build. It does not seem to bump them.
What am I missing here?
After troubleshooting, I found that my "core" install is running .61. What files exactly do I need to copy to update the virtuals to the right version?

Nice work!
I have it working great. How can I edit the CSS so that the PID's don't show externally?
-
Thanks Fully. Here is what happened...
I add the above to the script and it deletes the 343 and does not put in the 148 in the same spot, it does not add the 148 at all.
So it's close, halfway there ;)
I am not sure what the spots are called for the map, compass, radio. I may have to remove all of them, and add them back with the right pieces in the script.
*edit*
I got it working by trial and error:
_target removeweapon "ItemRadio";
_target addweapon "acre_prc148_uhf";
added to bottom of script.
-
quick addition...
I would like to remove the PRC-343 and add a PRC-148UHF.
The adding part I can do but it seems the 343 is not a weapon or an item. (removedallweapons this; and removeallitems this;) does not remove it.
What can I add right under removeAllWeapons target; in this script to accomplish this?

I am trying to use this info text for a mission and I am encountering the sound counter error when this trigger gets activated.
Is this sound not available in A3 yet?
Is there a way for me to remove the instruction to not use the sound (to not get the error), to add the sound from somewhere in A2, or to use a different BIS command to achieve the scrolling text without the call for the sound?

Follow up question about the -profile and -server.cfg. If you define the difficulty in the server.cfg file, are you able to still choose recruit and have all the settings on?
In other words, does defining the difficulty in the -server file do anything at all to enforce that instances of that server are bare minimum Veteran if selected?
-
Thanks for the info kju,is this still relevant with win7 and 8, winserver2008.2012 ?
I was able to get this working. I had to do the install of both parts of the LSE. I have a Win 8 64 bit PC and a Win 2012 64 bit Server running the game.
Thanks for the idea and the help!!!

I don't just ask because it is a simple text change. There may be other changes in the copied file that are incompatible with A3.

Can someone expand on the mpmissions folder re-direct for me?
I read this...
run cmd tool on your server to create the link, use "" around the directories
example
mklink /J "C:\steam\steamapps\common\user\Arma 3\mpmissions" "C:\Users\user\Desktop\Dropbox\mpmissions"
I need some instructions on how to do this exactly since I don't know what run cmd tool means...
-
I noticed in A3, "Elite" is the highest difficulty setting, yet the dedi instructions and your text have "Mercenary" as the highest setting. Does this not matter?
-
We've found that the crate filler script was killing our fps. We would get 0-5 fps on the server. When we removed that script, we would get 45-50 fps. Do your missions have that script in them?
-
Thanks for the reply iOGC. I wanted to turn off the auto spotting and the clock indicator in Veteran. When I loaded up the server and selected Veteran, the OPFOR AI was still being called out.
For testing, after this code post, I also turned off 3rd person in Veteran to see if my previous changes were the wrong ones, but, 3rd person was still available.
Eventually, I will make Veteran the same as Elite with the exception of 3rd person, but I wanted to take baby steps in the event that a simple change did not go the direction that I wanted.
The server's profile is the administrator and I placed this file (which I copied from an A2 server) but changed the classes.
The argument for the file is -profiles="C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\Arma 3 Alpha"

Does this look right for ARMA 3?

This should be a simple request but I am having trouble finding the right way to make this work.
I need a small team of opfor to infinitely respawn and enter an area. I have the area marked as "PP" that they need to patrol and reinforce to. Basically, when this squad dies, I need them to respawn about a half a kilometer away and run back to the same spot and rejoin the fight.
nul=[this,"pp","respawn"] execVM "ups.sqf" is what I have in the init, but I don't see them respawning.
Any help or ideas?

I am looking to make a trigger that happens every 15 minutes. I am using the hint command in the trigger, but it will always play the beep noise when it comes up. Is there a way to make this quiet with no beep or us a different command to do this. My goal is only to show my team's Team Speak info on screen every so often.
I have the mechanics down on how to make it recur and how often.
TIA

What do I need to put into a trigger to activate a C-130's flares?

Before I put in a bug tracker, can anyone confirm this issue?
I load up on blue and red smoke grenades and move them to my backpack. I also have 2 -3 in my main selection. I use the ones I have there, and then move the extras from my backpack to my main selection and I cannot "reload" them or use them. It does not present any blue smoke option, even in red indicating that they are there but have to be reloaded.
If someone else can see this issue, I will put in a ticket.
Thanks everyone.

I have been editing a year old version of domination and I went to download and edit the 2.60 domination Takistan.
Well, I cannot read the mission file. It looks to be encrypted. I downloaded eliteness and downloaded the depbo.dll file. It can open the file, but I still cannot read the mission file.
Can anyone help me?
TIA

How do you make the text stay at a certain height?
Can you change colors?
Why are much more people playing Arma 2?
in ARMA 3 - GENERAL

I know personally, I don't play A3 because of the lack of ACE, and current era vehicles.
If BI created official DLC for USMC, US ARMY, UK, German, Australian forces, it would be a whole different story for me.
