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

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

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

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

Yeah thx

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. Source: http://www.gamestar.de/spiele/arma-3/artikel/arma_3_interview_mit_projektleiter_joris_jan_van_t_land,46950,3009968.html This part is the interesting one: In English: But if they give us a good API, the community can handle it? 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. :)

Hello, http://store.steampowered.com/app/107410/ have fun... You can't find the game with the searchfunction right now, so you need this link. Cheers, Bensch

the spawn define you do in the description.ext Here a Example: respawn = "BASE"; respawnDelay = 1; respawnDialog = 1; disabledAI = 1; minScore = 0; maxScore = 50; class Header { gameType = TDM; minPlayers = 2; maxPlayers = 10; };

Stapo can you give us please more informations, please. Which map you are running? Which server parameters do you use? Which server.cfg do you use? Which windows server or pc do you use? etc

are you crashing on a arma3 server with a arma 3 map? Or you try to connect on wastelands server something like that? PS: with Arma 3 Map I mean a complete new coded Map, where the creator created the scripts complete new and checked every line for errors. For example Wasteland from 404Games is full of errors and many players crashing often.

PLEASE........ Arma3 has nothing to do with it. You are the server admin... You can decide who is playing on the server... You decided to set the server public... You bought a alpha... You are perhaps not a good server admin... You try to play a alpha like a full game... You yes you... Sorry, but I could not resist.

At the time where I post it, it wasn't able to find ;)

Guys that is a problem with the servers in the mp like in arma2. After 10min running the server fps drops into the hell, that was a big arma2 problem and now we have it in arma 3, too. No Server of the world can run a arma 2 server with much players stable, i hope they give it more attention in arma3...

--> http://feedback.arma3.com/ for bugs etc.

you tried to drag and drop it to your bag slot?

Create Shortcut then add "-server" ... then you start a Arma 3 Alpha Dedicated Server. It works fine on my Windows Server 2012 Root Machine. For the standalone dedicated server we have to wait, but for now this works fine... take a serverfile from arma2ao... then add a rcon and login with: #login password btw. you need a second alpha acc to play :-) Thats all.. for the alpha we dont need a standalone server...
