I primarily run Alive, SOG PF and Lambs (with it turned off for AI squad), run on LAN, which is the exact same as when it was working before latest update. Missions I run are Alive persistent campaigns for SOG PF. I'll check the rpt next time I try to run it. I figured it's just me as I haven't seen any other reported issues as such.

All of a sudden I'm running into an issue where I get an error message during initialization about "multiple gesture modules found" and it causes issues with the radial wheel not functioning - it opens, however, nothing happens when a gesture selected. EDIT: BTW. I have deleted the mod and reinstalled several times, to no avail. Any idea? Thanks! DrDetroit

Enemy uniforms and stolen radios (07.10.2022 dev report)
drdetroit replied to Akibuua-FIN-'s topic in Arma Reforger - General
Interesting, thanks for the post! How's the table you provided work? Thanks! -
Hello peeps! I'm running an Alive campaign that I've created, using the Unsung mod on the Prei map, and I'm having issue with respawn. Typically I play solo, with AI platoon, hosting a local LAN. Hopefully there is an obscure checkmark I'm missing somewhere, or something like that. Everything is set correctly, far as I can tell, with the ALive module settings for respawn at last location. However, when I respawn, I'm as a spectator, not the player. I get a verbal when respawning "I'm the new actual" and 'One, Taking Command", but then the game sends me to spectator mode. I can not control my player, just watch in 3rd person. I have several other ALive missions I've made, and play, and the respawn works fine (Unsung campaign on Da Krong being one of them - no issues). Attributes>Multiplayer> set to 'respawn on position of death' and have ruleset set to 'show respawn counter', and 'spectate' box not checked. Alive (required) set correctly. Alive Player Option all set to 'yes' except 'allow join different class'. What is it that I'm missing?? BTW: a side question; if I do a persistent save away from base camp, (away from where we start the mission, say in the middle of the jungle), do my AI squad teleport to me? I guess I can check while in-game, but you know...too many other things to tighten up before I try to figure that out. Thanks in advance! Good day! DrDetroit

Run the Dev build, they pretty much fixed the opcom stall bug related to logistics. Not fixed in the normal released version. -
How I Can Evaluate The Performance Of Team Members
drdetroit replied to hshaban3's topic in ARMA 3 - GENERAL
There is software the DCS players use that shows your wings entire flight in campaign, missile fired, guns, ect, that you can view, review, rewind, and save. Called TacView I think...I think it works with ARMA, but not certain. It's awesome for finding you and your wings tactical mistakes in A2A knife fights, air-to-ground missions and such. I would think it a no-brainer for ARMA guys. Good day, DrDetroit -
Don't forget, many play in MP mode solo, like me running ARMA via LAN; the added FPS is typically the largest benefit from doing so. I still use AI squad in MP. But yea, ARMA 3 and it's community is still very strong considering the above points such as age. However, ARMA 3, like a fine wine, seems to age very very well.

TPW MODS: enhanced realism and immersion for Arma 3 SP.
drdetroit replied to tpw's topic in ARMA 3 - ADDONS & MODS: COMPLETE
This is awesome, thanks for the update TPW! I just purchased this DLC just for the map, it looks awesome... a good one for some WW2 Eastern Front scenarios. Will have to use HAL though, as Alive hasn't indexed it yet. Good day! DrDetroit -
Yea, sorry, all I can see in your vid there are troop markers on the other side of the wall, where the rifleman is shooting. That particular instance you have showed is a bit wonky to be honest, as he is shooting at a wall for no reason lol. He knows troops are there, but tries to kill then through the wall. I don't see that kind of thing too often, but yea, it happens.
-
I see this behavior, and what is happening is your AI team has seen the target, and they are suppressing the building, giving you the opportunity to flank and kill. It's usually fairly effective, giving you cover fire. I could be wrong, of course. Although this does seem to be the case most of the time, your AI team offering sustained cover fire. Not sure, I guess the author will address the issue when he sees fit.

I will mess with the settings later tonight and let you know how it goes. Thanks!
-
I think you may be correct. I'll have to make sure the checkbox is unchecked for AI_radio. Thanks for the reminder!

Seems I can't get my guys out of danger state if there is any gun fire, no matter how far away, and they remain in combat mode with the DEV release. I can usually disable the combat mode with AIO or similar but it's not working with the Lambs DEV version. Also, seems my platoon is receiving orders from another team member, I can hear the order being barked out by my second team lead (Mstr Sgt). Wonder if this is where the permanent combat mode is triggered. Anyhow, going to revert back to previous version I have. Good day! DrDetroit

TPW MODS: enhanced realism and immersion for Arma 3 SP.
drdetroit replied to tpw's topic in ARMA 3 - ADDONS & MODS: COMPLETE
Yea, TPW is one of the best mods you didn't know you needed until you use it. Can't give TWP enough kudos for this!! Been using it since the release, but just started utilizing the skirmish mode, and wow! It is excellent for filling out missions, like if running a campaign on a large map with Alive, as it will keep you busy fighting as you make your way to the AO 15 kicks away from your FOB. For quick fun you could probably just use skirmish on a blank map, it's that good...and configurable. Good day! DrDetroit- 5764 replies

commanding All-in-One Single-Player Project

Just a heads up; you can use shift+key for the vanilla menus. I agree with your assessment otherwise, especially the need to scan horizon or scan a specific direction. -

NR6 PACK - HAL Artificial Leader Evolved
drdetroit replied to NinjaRider600's topic in ARMA 3 - ADDONS & MODS: COMPLETE
I built a really nice WW2 scenario on the Neaville map last night, very impressed with this mod. I'm noticing a lot of nice features, and not too difficult to setup after watching a really nice tutorial on Youtube by Skutskin Gordon (props!!). One question I have is how do I know forces are being reinforced? Is there any sort of debug ? I know there is a general debug mode, not sure if that is the only option. Also, does my squad get reinforced if my guys are killed? Regarding resupply; do I need to place and sync ammo carriers or will the Commander take care of it and spawn them? Currently I setup US forces by hand placing units (Germans I used the spawn/array system) - I didn't place/sync any ammo carriers. Thanks in advance! DrDetrpot -
NR6 PACK - HAL Artificial Leader Evolved
drdetroit replied to NinjaRider600's topic in ARMA 3 - ADDONS & MODS: COMPLETE
Thanks for the explanation, very much appreciated. I'll mess around with it this weekend. As for pointers, not really sure lol. I'm so green to HAL that I don't know what I don't know yet. -
NR6 PACK - HAL Artificial Leader Evolved
drdetroit replied to NinjaRider600's topic in ARMA 3 - ADDONS & MODS: COMPLETE
So I've been messing with the sample mission on Altis. The first thing I'm directed to do is recon a town to the west of the main airbase. Am I supposed to move to the recon waypoint or just observe from a distance that waypoint? I tried both, nothing seemed to trigger. When I made my way to the waypoint, I notice civilians getting into a HUMMIT transport, like they were troops. After watching for a few minutes, no triggered action occurred. Also, noticed that the side chat is issuing orders. Do I pay special attention to that for follow-up orders? If anybody has any tips, please post. I'm trying to get a handle on how HAL functions first before I try making a new mission. EDIT: If you guys can point me to a few good HAL campaigns on the Steam Workshop, I'd be forever grateful. Thanks in advance! DrDetroit -

Long time Alive user, and mission builder for myself and friends (too many mods required to release to public), however, I've been eyeballing this mod for awhile, looks very interesting. I think I'm going to finally give it a go this week and try to build a mission. Although, going to start with the test missions provided above to get some understanding of how this mod works. I downloaded the original HAL manual. Is that manual relevant with this version of HAL? I did find a tutorial which seems fairly detailed, which should help a noob with HAL. -
I believe combat mode/danger state are one in the same. Not sure about stealth mode, probably not though. Seems like that would, or at least should, be a different state, but I'll have to try it.

Go into addon option, then select your key to turn Lambs on/off for your AI squad. Also, the mission can be setup with Lambs turned on or off at the start. I suppose you could leave Lambs on the whole mission, as it will not really make a different until your set your awareness to combat mode, but I don't recommend this approach. Regardless, with Lambs on, I notice my AI squad will not really listen to orders. I turn on Lambs when I want my AI squad to do whatever they have to do to take out the threat, which is not all the time. I setup my missions so that Lambs is off for my unit until I turn it on. Usually only when combat gets so crazy and confusing, maybe getting flanked or taking losses from a MG position, I'll let them loose with combat awareness set then turn on Lambs for my unit - this lets the dogs of war loose! They will react and assault, using suppressive fire, taking cover, and leap frogging....you will notice the tactical aggressiveness of your AI squad. Once engagement is over and my guys have killed everything and everyone in the area, I'll turn it off again. Good luck! DrDetroit

I too use all the Lambs modules in my Alive campaigns, and I've not noticed any issues or conflicts with TPW. Skirmishes really adds another layer of combat to Alive as well...really nice!- 5764 replies

Never used the skirmish mode before, and have been using TPW for year, it's absolutely awesome. Adds a lot to Alive campaigns. Great work TPW, this mod is a must have - thanks for the hard work.- 5764 replies

I"ve been interested in this DLC, hows the map for Alive campaigns? The DLC campaign has terrible reviews, but I really just want the map and assets for my Alive campaign. As for Livonia, I love this map, and as long as I'm between 30-40 fps at view distances around 2k, I'm more than happy. I run an Alive campaign on Livonia and it dips hard in certain towns, but I can live with it. But, yea, Lythium with 1000 groups and view distances at 5k-7k runs better than Livonia...but I still love the Livonia map.
