I could have swore on day 1 i got killed from back blast on escape from stratis. What you need to do is go here: http://feedback.arma3.com and submit something called Feed back, the first one should be "Missile back blast does not aways damage other players in some cases" then you should fill that report out with as much detail as possible. You should then search the already submitted feedback to find out that some one else has already submitted a bug report about all the guns having the same feeling. encumbrance or fatigue is supposed to be in game i can't remmber which one. Additionally you should find that the physx bug report has also been submitted that it does not act accordingly. I had to join countless lists of betas for the last 7 years before signing on to make my own mods in retail games. our ex military needs to throw down their elitest pride and help by submitting bug reports. Some real life experiences dont really apply to software testing unless you have experience testing software. your experience counts mechanic wise but you still need to help out by properly submitting feedback, otherwise this is just a rant that isn't going to help fix the game you want to be more realistic.

This is more in reference to the Headless client which big missions require to balance AI, the issue is that groups that figure out the HC are very rare to release any information to the general public. so we only have what we can scrap together. ---------- Post added at 12:49 ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 ---------- Bad code and crap hardware, little bobby doesn't understand that his uber alien ware pc can't support being a server on his 50Mbps dn /5MBps up connection, the other end are people running servers with only 4gb of ram.

When using animate on non vehicles(ie not cars) it primary target is doors on buildings, you can also find some animations on things like the scud launcher to raise/lower the missle into launch position. On vehicles its going to be targeting doors and hatches(tanks) https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/animate http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?101935-OA-Closing-all-The-doors-within-radius http://www.armaholic.com/forums.php?m=posts&q=14891 http://www.armaholic.com/forums.php?m=posts&q=20477

Could you please NOT put this on a website that will no longer exist once the US gets around to shutting them down. I can not even begin to count the number of tutorials that are downloadable on this forum that are no longer avalible because some one put them on MegaUpload. please dont upload it to one of those hack file sharing sites, put it on something like media fire were all of us will continue to be able to access it years from now. Also your current download requires a key of some sorts to start

don't you have to run steam as admin once then launch arma 3, exit out and then launch steam normally to make this go away? that was the case with arma 2 and specifically for players that played dayz.

Really? Im really sick of everyone blaming BI for everything because they can't read the wiki. The default AI skill settings are set based on difficulty maybe the community should stop making every dam mission Veteran+ Maybe you all should search the FEEDBACK TRACKER and submit this thing called "FEEDBACK" as in a bug report so that BI can track it down properly http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=8204 <-- this is the AI is overpowered issue. people needs to submit feedback like "When i do X the AI knows about it and should not because of Y" AND NOT like "OMG THIS GAME SUXX I PAID FOR ALPHA ACCESS AND I WANT THE GAME TO WORK 100%" <--BAD FEED BACK

oh duh my bad, dang those late nights, my coffee still needs to kick in. thanks much Kju

I saw there was some talk about this on dedicated server chat group so i decided to post it here: this is a script to update multiple servers on the same pc Download SteamCMD, unzip it and then make a file called "paths.txt", in it place something to the following, which is the location of your arma 3 servers, no spaces d:\arma3server1 e:\arma3server2 f:\arma3server3 This will download and install arma 3, 3 times because im too lazy to rewrite it to download it once and then copy it 2 times, some one can modify the for loop and change it to a xcopy command then repost it here, *hint hint*. if you only have 1 server or only want to run one server then only put 1 line in the paths.txt @ECHO OFF SET STEAMUN=USERNAME SET STEAMPW=PASSWORD SET ARMABRANCH=107410 -beta development FOR /f %%X IN (paths.txt) DO ( steamcmd.exe +login %STEAMUN% %STEAMPW% +force_install_dir "%%X" +app_update "%ARMABRANCH%" validate +quit ) pause I don't use fire daemon so i will be unable to help you with that in detail, however this is what i could gather You will need to add the commands to start/stop the service while the script is running, those commands should be the following: %FIREDAEMON% --stop <service> %FIREDAEMON% --start <service> Be Advised that you need to run fire daemon with elevated privileges in order to use it to its full capability, you should read its manual and help pages for further information located here: http://www.firedaemon.com/manual/ http://www.firedaemon.com/manual/index.html?WindowsVista Alternative version 1: Single server instance @ECHO OFF SET STEAMUN=steamusernamehere SET STEAMPW=steampwhere SET ARMASVRPATH=d:\Arma3svr SET ARMABRANCH=107410 -beta development steamcmd.exe +login %STEAMUN% %STEAMPW% +force_install_dir "%ARMASVRPATH%" +app_update "%ARMABRANCH%" validate +quit Alternative version 2(untested): with fire daemon CLI commands: @ECHO OFF SET STEAMUN=steamusernamehere SET STEAMPW=steampwhere SET ARMASVRPATH=d:\Arma3svr SET ARMABRANCH=107410 -beta development SET FDSERVICE=mya3server %FIREDAEMON% --stop %FDSERVICE% steamcmd.exe +login %STEAMUN% %STEAMPW% +force_install_dir "%ARMASVRPATH%" +app_update "%ARMABRANCH%" validate +quit %FIREDAEMON% --start %FDSERVICE% If this does not work then you might need to run it like so(untested): @ECHO OFF SET STEAMUN=steamusernamehere SET STEAMPW=steampwhere SET ARMASVRPATH=d:\Arma3svr SET ARMABRANCH=107410 -beta development SET FDSERVICE=mya3server cmd.exe /c %FIREDAEMON% --stop %FDSERVICE% steamcmd.exe +login %STEAMUN% %STEAMPW% +force_install_dir "%ARMASVRPATH%" +app_update "%ARMABRANCH%" validate +quit cmd.exe /c %FIREDAEMON% --start %FDSERVICE% If for some reason there isn't enough time between the shutting the service down and the install then try the following(untested): @ECHO OFF SET STEAMUN=steamusernamehere SET STEAMPW=steampwhere SET ARMASVRPATH=d:\Arma3svr SET ARMABRANCH=107410 -beta development SET FDSERVICE=mya3server cmd.exe /c %FIREDAEMON% --stop %FDSERVICE% ping -n 30 127.0.0.1 steamcmd.exe +login %STEAMUN% %STEAMPW% +force_install_dir "%ARMASVRPATH%" +app_update "%ARMABRANCH%" validate +quit cmd.exe /c %FIREDAEMON% --start %FDSERVICE% "FDSERVICE=mya3server" is specific to what ever you named your arma 3 service when creating it with fire daemon. I have not tested with Fire Daemon because i do not use it, please let me know if any thing needs to be edited or removed. Tip: multiple physical servers can be updated so long as you have admin access to the server and its admin share is enabled. However i would recommend writing your own script that pushes out the files to your other servers from a central distribution point. ie the ("\\servername\c$\path") Tip2: use psexec alternatively to include username/passwords when running admin commands, even if its on the same machine to bypass uac prompts.

Honestly you all need to stop buying that crap Track IR the only reason the company is still around is because people refuse to move on to better technology or at least stop giving money to that company. i mean look at this: yes it works however its gimicky you can't really do anything with a track ir unless you have a 40" monitor on your desk. even then its head tracking not eye tracking so your eyes still stay at the center of the screen.

OFP still has mods and missions released to this day the same with IFL, albeit a smaller community. If anything people that come and to publically state something like "I'm refuse to blah blah next game because of blah blah" are just getting getting off on an attempt to bring attention to themselves. They want you to go and beg "oh please mr elite make my hello kitty army mod for arma 3" so they have the satisfaction of saying "okay mere human i will spend some of my time to make said mod for you". Otherwise they would have just not said anything. To be honest the next time you see a "Im not going to be releasing anything for arma 3 because <insert stupid political statement here" you should just reply "and?" they probably had a one or two hit wonder and are no longer in the spot lite, hence the need to release some PR crap into the community.

Because those players go on skype then tell everyone in the alpha server chat to vote their issue/suggestion up. Those "hardcore" players are the ones that can bring the numbers to the forums because they rally their clan to the cause, most casual gamers dont have a clan let alone a goal they just want a game. most of them wont visit the forums, the number of users here is just the tip compared to the number of players that will never see this forum heck let alone this post.

Part of the issue might also be that in america "Johnny Bravo" is a cartoon character for children: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Bravo combined with your broken english. To be honest the first thing i though was this guy has to be a kid because of your nick not because of your post. Also, you did not "pay for the alpha" you prepurchased arma and were/will be granted access to the alpha/beta

OMG pls pls pls pls pls, one thing that drives my batty is the lack of OO scripting ability, yes you can make fake OO but tbh i want a solution not work arounds.

flight model in A3 is not final, they stated they were going to use the ToH flight model. thats why helis can fly upside down too, well at least were until the last patch hehe

This is not broken its simply a lack of education on the mission makers part. Like if they didn't give you any ammo for your weapon and then come and complain that "all guns are missing ammo" the forum is great but the tracker is specifically for submitting feedback such as this so that the devs and community members can see the suggestion in one place. http://feedback.arma3.com

Namalsk uses the correct method to create underground caves/bases with what the engine currently supports/what we have access to at our level This is how namalsk does it: With caves(like the underwater one near the airport on stratis) are done with a fake cave shell placed on top of the terrain, since rocks are objects like this it blends with "mountains" surrounding them. Anything that makes the dirt step sound is usually part of the map ground. read this thread: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?139663-Terrain-Underground-complexes/page2

Also just from what you may have gathered from that video you saw, Natively Arma does not supposed persistent save states between server restarts/game sessions Ie it is not a MMO, all the servers are not connected, when the mission is over unless the person running the server has modified it to save data as such, the same applies if you disconnect from the server in most cases. Just think FPS/TPS with the ability for the community to modify the game / server

that is a misstatement, you can debinerize .bin files with eliteness and also unrap.

To be honest you have to own a academic copy of visitor along with global mapper and geotiff dem data to really be able to make some awesome maps with speed. very few people are willing to plop down 600.00 for something you can't create commercial content with.

I think Moricky meant more that this is already mapped by default in A3. So you dont need to map the event handler, my mistake for leaving that out.

Assuming that its fnc name is "BIS_Kill_Cam" it would be something like [_player1,_player2] call BIS_Kill_Cam; which would make the camera fade out on the player1 and then pan from them to player 2. /* Author: Karel Moricky Description: Death screen. Parameter(s): 0: OBJECT - killed unit 1: OBJECT - killer Returns: NOTHING */ All of the scripts in arma3(all as in mostly all of them) have this part at the top that tells you how to call it. This says it requires 2 parameters, we pass that to the script by putting them in left/right brackets with commas as the separator. Since it says OBJECT we could in theory use this for say doing a fly over of a target however so of the other code might be expecting a player and perform some operations that might cause an error.

What you have to do is go here: http://products.bisimulations.com/contact-us find the closest sales office to your location. Call the sales department. ask for a personal license to this: https://store.bisimulations.com/products/vbs2-academic-seat-license pay 500.00 + S&H&F, comes out to about 580.00 USD. BI has already stated they will not sell visitor by itself. Also you dont need just visitor to make good maps, you need Visitor and another application like Global Mapper or L3DT, visitor supports the importing of the data from Global mappers layer data. then you need to either make the input file or you need to just use geo dem data. The Cryengine only supports importing height maps and most of the time you can't get the exact import down right.

holy cow, thanks much ZeroG this is defiantly going to help clear up some of the missing pieces.

I would totally buy a license for just Visitor 4 if i could get it, but BI said they wont break the bundle
