actually, no... http://i.gyazo.com/96010e481e097e2934923c0e9b77669f.png (614 kB)

They seem to be doing fine to me. Donations are still flowing in swimmingly. Steaker seems to be getting his shit done with the framework. And i think caiden can slip through this whole "tax" thing. I honestly dont see them going down because of this. And as for this whole "infamy" thing, they may be infamous in developers eyes, but they arent in the vast majority of people who play life mods. Their community is HUGE and is still growing day by day. And this whole "new framework" thing is just bringing on more and more people. so, yeah. Im not saying what they are doing is right in any way. but Im almost completely positive that there is, in fact a "forward" for them

Im just truly interested to see how this turns out. Yes, i agree with all of you that what they did is inexcusable but i really cant see this ending in their servers being shut down. thoughts?

Sorry i didnt clarify like i did in my more recent posts. I meant to say that they are claiming to replace the stolen content with original content.

A3L has been informed of their mistakes and they are trying to fix it by causing the least chaos possible. If they shut down the servers and spend months creating new framework and models etc. Their community will go absolutely ape-shit on them because they will have nothing to play on

Alright, Ive read through the majority of this thread, and the petition etc. Other ArmA servers have been stealing content years now.. why is this the server taking heat from it? Is it because its so popular? or is it because theyre doing that donation system? If its because of the donation system, thats really between BIS and A3L. It seems like they have come to an agreement on the matter and i really dont think some petition is going to change that.. I do agree that they are in the wrong for taking content, BUT It seems that A3L claims that they are going to slowly replace the current content with their own content. Now, will this happen? who knows.. My vote is probably not. But if it does, in my opinion, they would be doing nothing wrong at that point. Because if people want to PAY to play a game that they already payed for, thats their choice. not ours

I have followed the A3L community since they posted their first video in August 2013. At one point, I was an active member of the community and even rose to a "Support Team" member in their community. Soon after, I was kicked off the support team for "trash talking" how the administration handled their business within the community. Although I do not agree with all of their actions when it comes to managing the community, I do not think there needs to be legal action taken against them. Yes, they did "steal" some things but they give every single person credit for their work. Its not like theyre saying "we made this and we own it" no. They gave tonic the credit for the framework and all their "pistol packs" etc that they use were gotten from places like armaholic (where content creators encourage people to implement their work into the game) And now for their donation system, I am not going to say that I agree with the who "donate to get in" aspect of the community, but it seems like they have bohemia interactive's support on the situation. (this is the most recent comment i have found from a BI employee regarding the donation system: http://gyazo.com/c69d5281698351829c597693725498fa) As for me, I havent done all my research to decide whos "right" in this whole thing. But i do know one thing--They NEED to get of Tonic's framework. (which they are in the process of doing) I would encourage you to read their side of the story before making a conclusion for what side you are on here is a link to a post from their project lead regarding this whole thing: http://arma3-life.com/forums/index.php?/topic/35121-a3l-intellectual-property-statement/ Thanks, Xgamer224

thank you for this... it works great now

Alright, so my overall goal is to make a gui that can be used for administrators so that they can play various audio files for the server to hear. at this point, i am having trouble getting the audio files to play for me to hear.. i have set up several methods to hear the audio but cannot seem to get them to play.. can someone tell me what i am missing? direct download to the mission file: http://www.mediafire.com/download/0mi2tg605kzhxzv/music_script.Altis.zip Mission.sqm version=12; class Mission { addOns[]= { "A3_Characters_F_Civil", "a3_characters_f", "a3_map_altis", "A3_Soft_F_Truck" }; addOnsAuto[]= { "A3_Characters_F_Civil", "a3_characters_f", "A3_Soft_F_Truck", "a3_map_altis" }; randomSeed=2983784; class Intel { timeOfChanges=1800.0002; startWeather=0.30000001; startWind=0.1; startWaves=0.1; forecastWeather=0.30000001; forecastWind=0.1; forecastWaves=0.1; forecastLightnings=0.1; year=2035; month=6; day=24; hour=12; minute=0; startFogDecay=0.013; forecastFogDecay=0.013; }; class Groups { items=1; class Item0 { side="CIV"; class Vehicles { items=1; class Item0 { position[]={14646.847,17.91,16746.131}; id=0; side="CIV"; vehicle="C_man_polo_4_F"; player="PLAYER COMMANDER"; leader=1; skill=0.60000002; text="main"; init="player addAction [""<t color='#00cccc'>Global Radio</t>"", ""radio.sqf""];"; }; }; }; }; class Vehicles { items=1; class Item0 { position[]={14660.738,17.91,16763.408}; azimut=-57.953602; id=1; side="EMPTY"; vehicle="C_Van_01_box_F"; skill=0.60000002; text="truck"; }; }; class Sensors { items=1; class Item0 { position[]={14706.442,17.91,16729.262}; b=40; rectangular=1; activationBy="VEHICLE"; repeating=1; interruptable=1; age="UNKNOWN"; idVehicle=0; expActiv="playMusic ""song2"";"; class Effects { }; }; }; }; class Intro { addOns[]= { "a3_map_altis" }; addOnsAuto[]= { "a3_map_altis" }; randomSeed=12210987; class Intel { timeOfChanges=1800.0002; startWeather=0.30000001; startWind=0.1; startWaves=0.1; forecastWeather=0.30000001; forecastWind=0.1; forecastWaves=0.1; forecastLightnings=0.1; year=2035; month=6; day=24; hour=12; minute=0; startFogDecay=0.013; forecastFogDecay=0.013; }; }; class OutroWin { addOns[]= { "a3_map_altis" }; addOnsAuto[]= { "a3_map_altis" }; randomSeed=10909747; class Intel { timeOfChanges=1800.0002; startWeather=0.30000001; startWind=0.1; startWaves=0.1; forecastWeather=0.30000001; forecastWind=0.1; forecastWaves=0.1; forecastLightnings=0.1; year=2035; month=6; day=24; hour=12; minute=0; startFogDecay=0.013; forecastFogDecay=0.013; }; }; class OutroLoose { addOns[]= { "a3_map_altis" }; addOnsAuto[]= { "a3_map_altis" }; randomSeed=3930057; class Intel { timeOfChanges=1800.0002; startWeather=0.30000001; startWind=0.1; startWaves=0.1; forecastWeather=0.30000001; forecastWind=0.1; forecastWaves=0.1; forecastLightnings=0.1; year=2035; month=6; day=24; hour=12; minute=0; startFogDecay=0.013; forecastFogDecay=0.013; }; }; description.ext class cfgMusic { tracks[]={song1, song2}; class track1 { name="song1"; sound[] = {\music\song1.ogg, db+10, 1.0}; }; class track2 { name="song2"; sound[] = {\music\song2.ogg, db+10, 1.0}; }; }; radio.sqf hint "playing music"; playMusic "song1"; playMusic "song2"; can anyone see what im doing wrong?

Is there any way possible to allow users switch from 1st and 3rd person in vehicles but only 1st person while on foot?

ended up reinstalling a3 and it worked....

Ive had plenty of experience with hosting an arma server. i used to host arma 2 servers all the time. ive even hosted some arma 3 servers. a few days ago, i tried hosting a server and received this message: "no challenge value was received from the master server" none of my friends can see my server when this message appears i did some research and it seems to be some kind of gamespy issue. anyone got any fixes? > Can connect to and play other servers fine > Tried Disabling my firewall > Tried hosting through other ports

i was hoping to make some kind of server-side vehicle saving system where the game uses a sql database to save them. (my ultimate goal is to make it so that players can save the things in their inventories etc) or are sql databases too overkill? is there some more efficient way to do it? can someone lead me into the right direction?

you have to use base arma 2. sorry. :(

i have all the files from a normal A2 OA directory and i have a valid CD key. is there any way that i can avoid using admin privlages to get the CD key linked into the game? i tried CENSORED and i need admin privlages. just to be clear: I am not attempting to use any stolen CD keys. is there any way to do this? thanks in advance!
