Hello, where I find admins for the official servers of arma 3 ? Cheers

I try to run this cos spawning script on tanoa. Its a problem with the map i guess, because other people said, that the spawning scripts run fine on stratis and altis. Edit: The error: There is a not defind variable in _connectedRoad. That means for me, that the Map has something you don`t want in the variable :)

Its the cosCore.sqf from COS civ spawning script. first error was in line ~144 and the second one in line ~185 I marked the blocks that I ment in the code here... if (!isServer) exitWith {}; private ["_groupCount","_localGrpCount","_grp","_rdCount","_n","_r","_tempUnit","_tempVeh"];

thx. Do you have an idea to handle this errors? [BIS_fnc_dirTo] Error: type ANY, expected OBJECT, on index 1, in [1692496: ,<null>] [BIS_fnc_dirTo] Error: type ANY, expected OBJECT, on index 1, in [1898: invisibleroadway_sqaure_f.p3d,<null>]

Hello Guys, how I can check an array content, that the content is only filled with objects? Cheers

ok thx

Hey Guys, is it possible to give a specific player on a server the permission to the Helikopter DLC Flight Model without creating a mod for the server? Cheers, Bensch

Yeah thx

Hey Guys, my Arma-Mapping skills are a bit rusky, long time ago that I created missions :). What was the diffrents between this path C:\Users\Bench\Documents\Arma 3\missions and this patch C:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\MPMissions? I guess the Users patch is the source of the mission and in the steam arma folder its "zipped" pbo file? Cheers, Bensch

Hello, why my Server have allways a red ping (2500) in the Server-Browser? When I connect to the Server I have a ping around 15. Cheers, Bensch Update: Found a other thread with the same problem: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?152762-Dedicated-Server-with-2500-Ping-why

I don't think that it is a Linux problem. That is your connection, that is not a 100mbit/100mbit connection that sounds like a 100mbit/6mbit connection. :) I have at home a 100/10 connection and the server runs well with around 12players. But after 20min. running the Server and more then 20 Player my testserver had desync's like hell too. So i am 100% sure, that the connection is the problem.

this is a alpha and they said that they may need to change classes, bones etc. so don't cry...

In Arma is not like you know it from FPS-Shooter to join a "Team", you know it as guild or clan. In Arma you will find to 95% communities, that is a mix from fixed "Team-Members" and guests. Currently the most communities are playing still Arma 2 AO, they will come to Arma 3. You must search a good public server from a community that you like and play on it a bit. If you like the server + community you can contact them. Good communities have his own map and goal what they want to do, so test a few communties, then you will find a good one. Btw. you can find communities over the world. I live in Germany, but I found a community I like in USA where I playing since 8 mounth. Good Luck

they announced that they don't release/create a 3D-Editor... because they have no time to build a good one.

What you think :rolleyes:?

If you use a windows server machine, then I recommend the Windows Powershell to organize your server. It's a modern way and in my opinion the better way. :)
