I support this idea! There was a server similar to this in OA - loved it!

Incase anyone is wondering what the status of the mission is... -Upcoming Update- Sound effects when picking up and dropping items and taking and giving items in a trunk or backpack. Bug fixes Player interaction menu functional (police can arrest, restrain, search, etc) Mining Added Resource Depot added - Sell wood and rocks to it. Repair kit added to gas station. Respawn button disabled. Remade the jail. Admins can access the admin construction tool via the admin menu. (Use it in LAN so you can copy and paste templates) Global banlist added. Reveal fix (fixes problems with players not getting actions for objects until their unit "knows about" it)

Thanks for that reference. I actually knew about it but was hoping that BIS would respond about this. Anywho, I fixed the issue by doing this... while {true} do { _nearObjects = nearestObjects [vehicle player,[],10]; {player reveal _x} forEach _nearObjects; sleep 4; };

If you use Peerblock, try disabling it.

That's the thing though. It doesn't have to be "rag-tag". Don't discourage yourselves so much :)

The flaws of that idea is that... 1) Modded servers are usually empty because players don't have the mod and would have to end up searching for it on the internet. 2) They are empty and stay empty because players prefer to play on servers with a good amount of people already on. 3) The modded servers usually go offline forever once the server owner realizes that no one plays on their server. 4) Players can't find a server that accepts most of the mods they use. 5) Players don't know what mods they need. 6) Players might have incompatible versions of a mod. 7) Modded servers usually have passwords and are clan-based. 8) Too much of a hassle to play with mods unless its a popular mod such as ACE or DayZ. An automated download system would alleviate these issues. Wouldn't it be better to say "Oh you don't need a mod for that, it's already ingame!"?

He has a point though, there is a dedicated thread for community wishes. It wouldn't be fair for someone to make a completely new thread about their wish when everyone else follows the rules and posts in the right thread.

This is nice to hear. The one thing that sets apart you guys apart from most developers is that you're an actual part of the community :) I do like the new hitPoints for units. I made functioning bodyarmor for my Life mission with the new commands that gave torso protection to the player if they worse a vest. The community isn't trying to bash on BIS or the game - I know I speak for everyone when I say that I admire BIS for their work and involvement in the community, but don't want to see ArmA3 go down the wrong path.

It's nice to know that I'm not the only one that feels the exact same way about ArmA3. The graphic improvement is definitely a plus, but other than that, there is no other improvement. New models != New Game. So many features were promised, yet we have less stuff than in ArmA2 - and even worse. A lot of requested features from the community are very do-able, such as weapon resting (so many people have scripted it throughout the years with ease). IDK what BIS' expectations are for this game, but I expect it to surpass the previous titles and actually fix almost all the old *VERY OLD* issues with the engine - if not now, then when?! One day these issues need to be fixed and features need to be added, and so far not much is being delivered -- saying "It's Beta bro" doesn't do any good -- people said "It's Alpha bro" and we still have the same bugs and no improvement. Performance is worse - especially in multiplayer; there is less content; features from previous games that have survived into ArmA3 are now dumbed down or broken; new technology is poorly implemented. The game feels like it was targeted for a completely different audience. The reasons I got into ArmA was for its realism, authenticity, simulation, creativity, mod-ability, and community. In A3 I get creativity and community and mod-ability (which is still great). Underwater gameplay is almost useless IMO. There's 1 small sub, a few small boats, and as confirmed a while back by BIS, no large ships of any kind. The naval aspect of the game is entirely ignored. What am I supposed to do underwater? It does leave more possibilities for modders, but it contributes hardly anything to core gameplay. I'm sure hoping that "It's just Beta bro" is actually going to live up to its meaning. I have a feeling that the next words will be either "The game just came out", "They're going to fix it", or "Wait for ArmA4". I mean, what is/was the developers goals for ArmA3?

April 18th, 2013 - Update #19: Integrated my "Bullet-Wind Interaction System" (Wind affects bullet path). Reverted to old spawn system (players will no longer join into a round when they connect). DOWNLOAD: https://www.dropbox.com/s/cymkwm71qlkfk0s/hostageRescueExtreme.Stratis.pbo ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I have developed a hostage rescue mission entirely from scratch. It works as a TDM/Roleplay consisting of 3 teams; Cops, Terrorists, and Hostages. The cops start off at their base and can take either offroad trucks, or an unarmed littlebird to get to the AO. The game area takes place at the airport. (EDIT: Scenario system implemented - Multiple scenarios are possible!) This mission is very addicting - had a full server all day :) - and it has a nice sense of competition, pvp, roleplay, and strategy. The cops have to rescue the hostages by either killing all the terrorists, or by getting all the surviving hostages to the extraction zone. The terrorists have to keep the hostages under control and win by killing all the cops. The hostages have to survive. Requires a minimum of 1 player on each team for the round to begin. -Features music made by me. -Shout feature -Pointing system (used to show your team where you are looking) -Intense PVP -Organized -Roleplay elements -30 players -HUD -Vehicle respawn -Good performance -Color Correction -Purgatory (Dead, or waiting players will be located on a separate island while waiting.) -Respawn -Suppression system (blurred if bullets hit near you) -Loadout system -JiP safe (can be run on a dedicated server with no issues) -Police vehicle lights and siren (sirens toggle-able) -Video Surveillance (police can tap into the compounds' cameras at the police spawn) -Doors can be barricaded. -Virtual Ammobox System/Loadout system -Terrorists can hit the hostages if they need to enforce their power upon them -Custom police truck skin -Vehicle have horns (H Key) -Scenario System (Game takes place in different locations, and time is randomized) -Custom made terrorist skins that randomize each round -Flashbangs (Chemlights act as flashbangs and will blind players) -Jumping -Bullet-Wind Interaction System (wind affects bullets) -Completely coded from scratch by me (credits to Tophe for the vehicle respawn script and Tonic for the Virtual Ammobox System) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_9Rk4tVu28&feature=youtu.be http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWyolfUxI3U&feature=youtu.be Date started - March 11th, 2013.

You are free to modify and host the mission to any extent as you wish - all I ask is that you keep my name in the mission intro and in the scripts (you can change the Teamspeak IP if you must), thanks. =Contact Info= Teamspeak - ts.goguerrero.com:9767 Steam - Zooloo09 http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198008065973/

Construction objects do not save at the moment. Vehicle saving isn't implemented and the garage idea isn't official.

Tanks!

=Update= Construction Interface - Snap to terrain option added Player interaction menu (WiP) - for police.

No other game has as much freedom as ArmA does either. Last night I had a guy spawn in weapons (he acted calm and wasn't being malicious with his hacks), I noticed he had a P07 and that new Opfor LMG. Here's the catch - the only gun available in my mission is the Rook-40. I banned him -- but just to play around with the kiddie, I asked him, "Where did you get that gun?" -- he must've been unaware that I was the guy that made the mission (even though when you join it says "Developed by Stealthstick") -- he said, "I found it." Then he says, "You can have it." I pick up the pistol, and a few seconds later he does one of those hacker pauses where you can tell they are scrolling through a hack-menu, and he spawns himself an LMG. -.-

You should add me on Steam. I can make one for you real quick!

Haven't tested that, but deadzone is horrid in A3; ArmA2 allowed you to hold alt to aim around a bit as opposed to A3.

A constant setPos in multiplayer looks very laggy on other clients.

Everyone please vote to fix the hands up animation -- it is bugged and causes the player to fly away. http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=6895 ---------- Post added 07-08-2013 at 01:00 AM ---------- Previous post was 07-07-2013 at 11:33 PM ---------- =Update= 7/7/2013 Construction Interface - Objects can be rotated via Shift+E or Shift+C.

So people would rather download a mission, unzip it, open explorer, navigate to the missions directory in my documents, place the mission into the folder, then load the mission in the editor? People can just open the singleplayer editor and paste that line of code into the debugger. It's like people are beyond lazy...
