  1. Jebus could also be useful. EDIT: oh, CWA section, never mind then.
  2. You can make pretty much any script into a mod. Let's make an example. First, create a folder named MyAddon. In that folder, create a file named MyScript.sqf (make sure it actually is an SQF file) containing the following: if (isServer) then { player setUnitTrait ["audibleCoef", 0.1]; player setUnitTrait ["camouflageCoef", 0.1]; player addMPEventHandler ["MPRespawn", { player setUnitTrait ["audibleCoef", 0.1]; player setUnitTrait ["camouflageCoef", 0.1]; }]; }; Then, create another file named CfgFunctions.hpp and put the this in it: class CfgFunctions { class MyAddon { class MyFunction { class MyScript { file = "\MyAddon\MyScript.sqf"; postInit = 1; }; }; }; }; Finally, create a file named config.cpp with the following in it: #include "BIS_AddonInfo.hpp" #include "CfgFunctions.hpp" All you have to do now is open Arma 3 Tools' Addon Builder and compile the previously mentioned MyAddon folder into a .PBO archive with it. Then install and run the .PBO via either Launcher or Startup Parameter. I haven't tested this as I'm not playing Arma much these days but I think something like this should work. There are other things you can do to make the mod prettier and whatnot, you can read about some of such matters below. I'm sure there is a lot more but this is what I can remember at the moment. https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Mod_Presentation https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/CfgPatches https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Functions_Library_(Arma_3) (be sure to go through this one)
  3. Hmm, well there is player setUnitTrait ["camouflageCoef", #]; so you could globally apply that to specific class(es). On biki it says "A lower value means the unit is harder to spot". From what I remember, something like 0.1 makes you pretty much invisible. Then there is also audibleCoef trait.

    Profile related startup parameters, parameters section in Arma 3 Launcher. Basically, what you want to do is create a folder with your desired alias and load it via either shortcut startup parameters or launcher parameters. For example, create a folder in following location: "C:\Bohemia Interactive\Arma 3\Profiles\Users\CustomName" Then for shortcut method use a batch (.bat) file containing: @ECHO OFF REM Arma III CD C:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\Common\Arma 3 START arma3_x64.exe "-profiles=C:\Bohemia Interactive\Arma 3\Profiles" "-name=CustomName" "-noSplash" "-skipIntro" EXIT Obviously, for CD line, you have to use the location where you installed Arma 3. For Launcher method, in parameters section you define a path and then select the folder in drop-down list.

    In the wake of somewhat recent WHO's pandemic prevention, preparedness and response accord, UK parliament is now finally debating it's content, thanks to the people that gathered enough signatures and in turn mobilized their representatives. If at all possible, you might want to do what you can in your own communities, especially in EU and US, in order to move such conversation forward.

    New system for Arma3

    Heh, good on you, enjoy! Well, when it comes to Windows 10 tweaks and de-bloating, after eight years, to this day I find new things to do. I'm probably gonna miss a bunch but for orientation, here are few things to start with. Links below are to mostly open source projects on GitHub. Generally, you can see the address in bottom-left corner of your web browser. StevenBlack's hosts: static domain blacklisting. Windows Firewall Control or Priv10: extended functionality and control over Windows Firewall. Winaero Tweaker: all manner of tweaks, like seriously, it's crazy. Fan Control: a focused and highly customizable fan controlling software for Windows. Everything: highly competent search tool. Link is to alpha version that has dark mode. Works fine. Debloat Windows 10: collection of PowerShell scripts to debloat Windows 10. Not to be used carelessly. MarkC Windows Mouse Acceleration Fix: a registry file that removes Windows 7 or 8 or 8.1 or 10 mouse pointer acceleration. MediaCreationTool: a script to easily download (from Microsoft) and create specific Windows installations. This is what I came up with at the moment, I also made some threads a while ago if you wonna go through those and see if there is anything useful as well. Extend Control Over Windows Firewall Dark Browser Themes Günter made a useful post some time ago, I think is the one.
  9. Possibly, I don't have those CDLCs, so wouldn't really know but it works fine without it? If that's the case, they may have a thread around in CDLC section, perhaps you could also ask there.
  10. Ah yes, Arma 3 save system. Iirc, if mission saves on exit, you can only continue from that point from main menu (after reboot for example). Once you continue and are back in mission, then you can load manual saved games. Or, you can manually delete the autosave that is created upon 'save and exit' in you profile folder. What mission have you been playing? Generally, single-player is paused on Esc but maybe some missions disable that somehow. Or maybe you were running multiplayer mission from single-player. Yes, that is a thing or at least it used to be in Arma 1, it auto-hosts MP lobby with default settings. Alternatively, are you using -noPause startup parameter?

    Is it ever coming to GOG or similar?

    It is indeed sad it came to this that mod hosting is so centralized after AH went down. Valve also took down most of online tools that allowed you to download the files directly. Thankfully, BIF still remains 💪 and a lot of authors provide mirrors or even have GitHub and similar projects. Even when mirrors are dead, at least for scripts, code can often be found in actual posts, usually in spoiler wraps. At the end of April, Ubisoft decided to shut down their forums. Granted for past decade, they did everything they could to prevent modding and replace it with lootboxes and microtransactions but sad days ahead nonetheless. The grip tightens, RIP.

    Is it ever coming to GOG or similar?

    Yeah, online multiplayer in those used to run on GameSpy, which went down in 2013. Arma 2 OA/CO and was transferred to Steam to retain MP functionality, Arma 3 released on Steam and other older titles remained single-player only, as Dedmen explained, and can therefore be on GoG. Would love a GoG version at some point down the line though, for game preservation sake if nothing else.

    New system for Arma3

    Not all for the better though. This whole RGB, "gaming", "<enter_buzzword" made manufacturers go stupid again. Not only in PC space but cars, appliances and whatever else. Everything is way too bloated with crap that you need that you're supposed to pay extra for, often at the expense of quality. Anyway, in regards to cases. Opposed to what designers seem to think, people actually use their computers in real life and often in their living spaces, therefore things like dust are a major factor. These days, a lot of cases have exhaust vents on top, which might seems like a good idea - hot air goes up, right? Well, shit ton of dust is accumulating on top as well, which is then blown all over the place. Some cases have intakes on bottom... well, PC case is not floating in mid air, it's generally sitting on top of something that accumulates dust. There are some things called dust filter but I wouldn't rely on that too much. Even if it does it's job, it needs to be regularly cleaned or even changed, which in turn just produces more trash for hardly any benefit. Of course, everything depends on your surroundings and whatnot but generally, front/back intake/exhaust setup is likely optimal and make sure your PC is not on the ground. Have it at least half a meter off the ground and possibly not right next to your face. If you can get the distance to at least 1,5-2m, you'll be doing yourself a huge service on the long run.

    I believe he's refering to NVidia's cloud streaming service. Personally, I avoid anything and everything remote and subscription based like the plague but there you have it nonetheless.

    New system for Arma3

    Well, I guess the fastest you can afford, although they went a bit stupid with saturation and designations, be sure to get what you actually need. These new X3D chips from AMD might be worth thinking about too, since the 3D stacked cache is supposed to be beneficial for single core bottlenecks, which Arma 3 has generally been. Head on over to PC specs thread and see what guys say. Some have been running AMD for years as well and may know more. Probably. Unless you have some crazy graphics aspirations, for 1080-1440p gaming, you're good to go since single thread CPU performance is the main limitation. Besides, GPU prices are still crazy. You can buy the whole system for the price of a mid-high end GPU.
  18. There is game called Arma 3 and it has a DLC called Tanks. The Ultimate Edition contains all DLC up to date, though you may want to wait on a sale for that one. Look it up on YouTube or something? Is there something specific you'd like to know in that regard? Vanilla MBT for NATO faction is kind of Merkava I suppose. There might be an IDF mod out there, look through these forums and Steam Workshop among other sources.
  19. Code in cleanup.sqf spoiler wrap and using one of the init.sqf examples from OP should still work, no?
  20. I mean, that's the price for that sweeet tacticool life, yo!
  21. Of course, that is perfectly understandable, no one is saying otherwise or trying to prevent you from doing so. It's great that you created you own color scheme and shared it. There is no issue here whatsoever, I was merely pointing out how to share your color scheme for other people to use so it does not conflict with latest versions in terms of functionality. Hence I asked you to share only the part relevant to your color scheme instead of entire file, so less adapt users merge it instead of replacing the file. In my previous post you can find out how to do that and I even provided you with an example which would simply needed to be copy-pasted in your existing file that you shared. Oversized font is only there to make it easy for people to find original thread since this outdated thread keeps getting resurrected with requests for download links. You may also notice that oversized font is before you were mentioned in any capacity. That said, you doing what you thought I did, hardly makes it better now, does it? By all means, have at it. Btw, if you want to tag someone in a post, then you have to type @<Person's_Username> and select it from the list. If you do not select it from drop down list, then it is displayed as plain text.
  22. OK, since this topic keeps getting dug up, let's clear some things. First, THIS LINK IS TO THREAD CREATED BY ORIGINAL AUTHOR(S) AND YOU CAN ALWAYS FIND THE MOST UP TO DATE VERSION ON THE LAST PAGE OF THAT THREAD! Next, @markooff, great that you made use of Notepad++' customization, that is the whole point of it, however couple of things here also. A) File you shared is based on something very old, I'm not sure that was even part of the original pipeline. Exert from ReadMe.txt on how to customize styles: As NOTEd, for distribution purposes, you should share only <Styles> block, in your case: This makes it easier to update with new versions. Therefore I would kindly ask you to adjust what you shared in order to avoid even further confusion. B) As of version 8.4 or so, Notepad++ supports Dark Mode which makes it's toolbar, menus and whatnot, well... dark. Therefore, update it to the latest version and you can enable it in preferences: Notepad++ >> Settings >> Preferences >> Dark Mode Finally, a note on process for setting default colors, which can also be found in original thread. Since some people like to work in brighter environments that had to be taken into account. Therefore a balance in contrast had to be found for both dark and light or even white backgrounds. Comments are also rather de-saturated because they are comments and not meant to be the main attraction. I'm sure you're glad just to have dark background at this point but talking about long term, I would advise not to use completely black backgrounds, perhaps dark(er) gray with even hint of blue, green or yellow in there. This generally depends on your physical environment of course, such as amount and direction of sunlight in your room/office. Some addition tools for web browsing and even system wide solutions can be found in this thread: Some of that is a bit outdated by now, Firefox for example has a lot more native support as well as it's plugins but it can still be useful.

  24. Frosty Tool Suite Apparently, modding Frostbite games isn't too complicated after all. Mass Effect: Andromeda & Dragon Age: Inquisition pages at Nexus Mods. Take a look at this Mod Manager Tutorial and Recommended Mods, albeit for Andromeda but it applies for other Frostbite games as well.
