    Hey.

    I am trying to add to the Merkava tank that I am working on a mortar, for the time being its a 120mm mortar[going to be 60mm once I work out the kinks], the M120 thats on the Stryker MC.

    I opened the Stryker MC config and found this two lines in the vehicle:

    artilleryscanner = 1;

    arty_isartyvehicle = 0;

    This will give me the Artillery Computer action for the gunner, once I gave the weapon + ammo I could select the mortar in the artillery computer and generate fire missions.

    The issue is that the artillery computer is trying to use the main barrel as the mortar tube - its trying to point it in the sky and it can't really go up thus it can't do any fire mission at all because the gun doesn't have enough elevation.

    How can I solve this?I am out of ideas, heres the config file:

    I tried getting the artillery computer on the commander but it never works[as in not show up] no matter where I put the two lines above which leads me to believe that BI made the artillery computer action gunner only and looking for MainTurret.

    I just tried it - it works out but its very counter intuitive, you have to be targeting nothing - not even a house for the actions to show on your scroll wheel, if you point it at someone and hold the key the ACE interact menu will continuously show up and vanish, it would be great if the actions would just show up on your ACE interact key when pointing at civilians.

    I have a very wierd issue with ArmA and the graphic drivers.

    My PC:

    Q6600 stock

    ASUS P5B Deluxe

    8gigs ram

    ATI 4870 1gig ASUS Dark Knight

    Windows 7 64bit

    When I upgrade my drivers to 11.xx my graphical options are all messed up, I can't select video memory/texture above normal - the option is not there, its only low/normal.

    When I get ingame I experience extreme LOD flickering and texture going crazy, the framerate drops to sub 15 and it becomes unplayable with nothing in the background, just me in the editor with a single soldier.

    When I go back to 10.xx based drivers all these problems are solved, I get the right options in settings - high/very high texture and memory settings, ingame my FPS is +60 with high settings and its very smooth, everything is fine.

    Sticking to 10.xx drivers is not a solution nor is repeatedly uninstalling and reinstalling drivers based on what I am playing - new games require the new drivers to get around performance issues[eg Battlefield 3/Skyrim], any ideas?ArmA is the only game that gives me issues with the new drivers.

    I cant get them empty,everytime i read something about it people say to select from the empty faction but theres no such thing....when i place "playable" or not playable it doesnt work. and the side=empty didnt work either.......im sure im being dumb but....sigh...

    You need one of the units to be "player" before you can select the empty side.

    ZZEZ, first, that's really weird cuz I'm assuming those things are saying it basically doesn't exist. Second, why aren't you?

    Our community didn't update yet.

    Its a RPT error that occurs on the first load of the Nimitz, if you can find whats causing it and fixing it, it will help performance.

    @People that are having issues with spawning in the water, you are doing something wrong or you have another addon causing issues, the method the carrier is using spawns it during the briefing screen before anything else starts, we started a game with 58 players and about 20 vehicles on the Nimitz and not a single person or vehicle spawned in the water.

    Another thing to check is if your using setPos or setPosASL, you should be using setPosASL.

    The switch from execVM to call screwed up setPos, not much can be done about it - just switch to setPosASL.

    I would recommend before anyone blames the Carrier to ensure that its actually it and not another addon messing with call compile, using a combination of ACE/ACRE and various custom units/islands we don't have this issue.

    Thanks ZZEZ, I'll try to replicate that issue (just cuz im curious about seeing it haha) and I'll get that fix in there as well. You're quite an aid with multiplayer stuff :)

    Heres the ticket information:

    http://dev-heaven.net/issues/5822

    Updated by Xeno 7 months ago

    And as additional info, in MP the old bug still exists that the gear of a unit that looses its gear in the water is still multiplied by the players number.

    So you end up with x * playernumber weapons and magazines.

    Doesn't matter if it is a player or AI unit.

    Yo JDog.

    Theres a ArmA bug that you probably want to deal with regarding the Nimitz, any gear dropped[via death or just littering] on water will multiply itself over time eventually leading to a server crash if it drags out for too long, the Nimitz unfortunately together with the LHD count as water for the game, we had a server crash with 60 people due to insane amount of gear on the Nimitz multiplying itself.

    Anyway, you probably want to solve it - heres something I quickly hacked together that looks for dropped items near "nimitzpos" and deletes them to avoid that problem, I hope you will want to include that in your addon or at least other mission makers will be aware of the said issue and how to deal with it.

    while{true} do {

sleep 120;
_cleanuparray = nearestObjects [nimitzpos, ["WeaponHolder"], 500];
{
deleteVehicle _x; sleep 0.25;
} forEach _cleanuparray;

};

    For some reason the new spawning method makes setPos kinda unstable. Using the old method, vehicles and players now spawn 18 meters above the deck, as if the game recognizes the deck as terrain. However, against logic, not using setPos still sets them at sea level. So, using setPosASL is the only reliable method now.

    Thats interesting really, I always used setPosASL hence why I didn't notice it before.

    JDog in your next update please change the way you spawn the carrier from execVM to this:

    _run = compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "\JDG_carrier\scr\init.sqf"; _this call _run;

    the current way you have it setup is that your breaking spawn and the carrier spawns after the game starts and not during the briefing which causes issues with JIPs and people with slow internet falling to their death while the carrier spawns, that line solves that issue by doing it before their game starts.

    Guys anyone here ever experienced crashes related to the Nimitz?not the 21 July version - the one before...we had about 15 people CTD at the same time because they died and respawned on the Nimitz, the issue wasn't present before I added the Nimitz to the mission.

    That particular situation was a fully loaded Osprey being shot down by a Flanker, this is the 2nd time it happened...you know one time I can accept some ArmA randomness but when it keeps happening the issue gotta be found and fixed.

    It was not a server-side crash, it was a server-wide crash of everyone that died, I scanned their RPTs and theres nothing crash worthy in them.

    Mods active at the time were ACE/ACRE/Everon and IKaR's F14.

    Hey, I am trying to remove the Gear action from a vehicle but no matter what I do that bastard is staying there and I am clueless on how to proceed, I tried locking and setting the ammunition to zero but it didn't help..the vehicle was locked but you could still access Gear.

    Just to clarify again, its not about removing the gear itself, its removing the action so players won't be able to access it.

    Any ideas?

    Hey JDog.

    I did some testing of the Carrier on a dedicated server, everything works except the arresting cable - it plays the sound when you land but it doesn't stop you at all.

    Luckily its still possible to land without the cables.

    It was tested with Ikar's F14, any solutions?

    EDIT:

    Another note: the towing script on dedicated server is broken, it tows the vehicle locally and when you detach it the vehicle goes back to its original spot.

    Other people seeing you towing a vehicle - on their screen the vehicle doesn't move, it stay still.

    Any solution for that?
