Does anybody know how this is done? I guess its done by displaying a .ogv video in PIP, but how? Or is it done using a texture to set every frame on the screen?

Hello everyone, A3L, also widely known as ArmA 3 Life is looking for a new development member to help us with finishing our Lakeside Valley map, which is based upon the applegate map made for ArmA 2. Some of our videos can be found on: https://www.youtube.com/user/arma3lifeofficial Our website can be found on http://arma3-life.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/Arma3life A screenshot of the map inside Terrain Builder: http://snag.gy/xZI6a.jpg We're looking for someone able to actively develop our map for perhaps one of the most popular and anticipated life mod for ArmA 3 and work in an big team of developers/modelers and scripters. Message me on my website/forums/twitter if you are interested and if possible some of your previous work! Project Lead, Caiden.

ArmA 3: Life[W.I.P.] Well I am here to represent another great project by our coders and project leaders: Zannaza, Caiden Our C# coder/Launcher creator: ThRYCkz Our HTML/PHP/CSS coders: ThRYCKz and Vepr. Textures: Kurt Licensing: There will be a variety of licenses to give you access to buy/access things in the mod. This license is not going to be easy to get at the start of your virtual life. The license is expensive and you will have to use a taxi/bus/non-motor vehicle in order to get from A to B (Such as going to your work) this license will also feature a driving test, just like the pistol, rifle, pilot, trucking and boating license. Car shop People can buy cars at the car shop (duh..) but the cars that are in-stock change every 30 min/hour (tba) some cars will appear on a regular basis whilst others are very rare and expensive! This again creates an economy as the same cars can also be crafted and sold to other players! Remember: Altis is an island and cars have to be imported from other places. Weapon shops Same as above, not every weapon will be in-stock every time you come here. And combined with the new weapon-flag system (More below), we hope this improves the roleplay and economy. Equipment shops Just like the other shops not every item will be in-stock. You need a fishing rod and its not in-stock? go buy it from other players! Items in ArmA 3: Life have a certain durability/lifespan. When your fishing rod breaks you won't be able to use it anymore. There will be an option to repair it if you have the skill and/or items, don't worry! Also there is not just gonna be one fishing rod, there will be different versions of some items. For example there will be a cheap fishing rod which will have a low lifespan, and there will be more expensive fishing rods designed to last longer/allow you to fish more, give you the ability to fish for sharks and so forth. Logging in You should ONLY be allowed to download/update the mod when you are logged in. Once the version and client files are synced and is up2date it should then display a play button. The client will then check if the person is on TS (Same as in City Life) and will then proceed with launching the game with the correct startup parametres (Such as what mods to start and what user profile to use) Stats User should be able to view his stats by the launcher and through the website. Weapon system: A civilian can buy a weapon at the gun store, there will be different gun stores located around Altis. Pistol shop, Rifle shop, Equipment shop (Fishing rods etc.) The civilian can buy a weapon at the stores only if he has the required skill and has the license to buy the weapon, but there will also be a new system in place which will counter Deathmatching in the server. The system works this way: Civilian buys a weapon at the pistol store and commits a crime where the pistol was used to kill someone. The person in question gets taken into custody and is then arrested. The cop adds the crime details into a database and also gives the civilian a weapon flag and removes the license, this so called flag disallows the civilian to buy anymore lethal weapons for a specific amount of time. The civilian now has to find a more risky, harder way to get a weapon again. This adds to the Economy, Roleplay, player interactions and prevents deathmatching in the server. When you die: When you die nothing happens, unless somebody spots your body and calls 9-1-1. However there will be a special item, this item triggers a marker for EMT’s and COP’s, and will make them aware of your location. Item’s will NOT drop unlike other life mods, the items will stay on the body and you will have the ability to take the items from his body. You will be allowed to drop items on the ground but they will not drop when you die. If you have a high robbery skill level you will be able to loot faster from the corpse. Launcher: We decided to go with a launcher to make the mod installment much easier and up to date. This mod is currently in development and this is just the small fraction of what we have actually done. Really hope to see you guys on our servers when we release our mod! We are always looking for more coders, textures, modellers, web developers to help us out with development. This is a huge project and without your help we wont be able to finish what we started. PM me if you want to contribute, we will with open arms invite you to join development and contribute!

Where is the evidence? Good luck finding any because we haven't stolen shit from them. The author cannot force me to remove addons unless we broke the license, which we didn't. And don't start that commercial shit story again. Nobody will have his addons removed from our mod, they are available publicly on armaholic and we have not broken anyone's license. kthxbai.

Stolen from CityLifeRPG? stolen from TCG? Lol, I think it's quite the opposite. This thread is getting funnier by the minute and full of shit. I'm enjoying this :bounce3:

I'm gone already. Vanished into thin air.

No point trying to argue with some of the people here. I'm out. Goodbye, I'll be eating popcorn with my community watching this thread.

well good thing its not.

Lol, I'll make sure to have the coffee ready. I guess the haters need a place to express all the hate :D ---------- Post added at 20:43 ---------- Previous post was at 20:41 ---------- Yeh I steal addons which I can find on armaholic. I'm a criminal now :(

Kill yourself please. This community doesn't know half the shit you pulled on us.

That doesn't mean there wasn't a way to get in without paying.

Tonic based his Altis Life upon Stratis Life. We've shown AMAR the parts which we made and own, and shown proof of Tonic stealing it from our servers, and removing our credits back in Alpha. We didn't care back then, but it's pretty clear that the HUD has remained unchanged and he still uses images which we own in his Altis Life. Download the original Stratis Life, and see for yourself. Regarding donations: People never had to donate in order to play the closed beta, that policy hasn't changed. Caiden.

Sorry for my late response. This is our official open beta information on the website: and We are not in breach of anyone's license agreement. We won't follow Tonic's non-derivs license since we've found valid proof that he stole our code and claimed it as his own. This proof has been shown to AMAR and they told me that its valid. As far as I know AMAR is going to have a meeting about this, and our project manager will be there to attend it. Caiden.

Cool story. I understand the concerns and in my previous posts I've stated everything I wanted to say, nice way to go completely off-topic and keep posting replies over and over when I've already told you everything you need to know. Keep it up dude you should be proud of yourself.

Seriously dude? You aren't even involved. You don't have anything else to do with your life? It was clearly stated by Placebo that no open discussion is to be held about these matters. I've reported your post and also await the mods to come here and shut this whole thread down. Feel free to continue with your stupid and incorrect accusations and I'll happily report each and every next post.

You really are continuing with this aren't you? Why don't you do the thing I mentioned earlier. Haven't you made your point already?

Seems like we have a bunch of stubborn people in this community. I'm done with this discussion and I request that this topic is deleted. http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?181169-People-profiting-from-donation-servers-with-Ingame-rewards

And there we go again. Claims that this is an commercial project which it is NOT. The altis life framework is still the altis life framework and we've simply edited and not used the code in another 'Life' like mission. I hope you also know it's against the license to reverse engineer the game in order to hack servers and make it say: Altis Life by Tonic. @Darkhorse Funny how you draw these conclusions so fast. And how you deem A3L has to be rebuild from scratch. Much hate. Surely just go ahead with all these untruthful accusations. I refuse to respond on anymore of this. I think I've made my statements in my previous posts.

Those donation rewards were going to be handed out on the final release, some time ago we announced we were not going to be handing out donation rewards. However this was never edited in the donation post (all of our members were also aware this policy could change after the donation was made). It's not like we have hired an attorney but Baxter knows a lawyer in real life which he can contact to ask questions considering licenses and so forth. Unfortunately there are people that do not favor us and try to do anything to get us to shut down. I'm not sure about this proof but they may have been misinformed by other members and/or admin team. Caiden.

Understandable. The content on our website was outdated, so this may have lead to a wrong conclusion (and people thinking they can get in by simply donating). Also may I point out that I've stolen none of his content. His mission is published on armaholic under Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported. In the last page he is requesting the removal of code and he simply cannot revoke us those rights: Share — copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format The licensor cannot revoke these freedoms as long as you follow the license terms. Caiden.

I understand the confusion and our donation page was not updated (it's updated now). We've already let our members know that donation awards are not going to be handed out on the final release. We've also clearly stated the following: You acknowledge that the donation benefits can change before or after the release of the mod. (This may, or may not be in your benefit.) Also if you read the big red text: DONATIONS DO NOT GIVE YOU MEMBERSHIP, DO NOT PLAN TO DONATE AND SKIP THE INTERVIEW AND APPLICATION PROCESS There is no way to buy yourself into the beta. People have been spreading these rumours because once we released closed beta everyone who previously donated have been given access since they supported us in the first place as stated by Baxter earlier. It was not announced by us as being: Donate and you can play. But rather we decided on our own behalf we would give those who donated priorly to beta release, access to the ArmA 3 life beta. This was announced after people had already placed a VOLUNTARY donation without receiving any reward in return, and those people were chosen by us at our discretion. And Tonic weren't you the one who originally implemented a donation system into Altis Life, so don't come here and talk about others that you think are breaking the agreement, also we've changed a lot more than just a variable name... seems like you are butthurt because of all the publicity we've been getting and our growing community (Seems like you are also actively on hacking forums and saying you will write your own server side code for our mod, which is against our agreement published with our modpack, so who's breaking the agreement here..?). I'm also requesting a removal of this topic since people claim things based upon rumours which makes us look like this is a commercial project. Me and my team have been working on this mod for almost a year, and thankfully there is lots of players in our community who appreciate our hard work and enjoy playing it. Feel free to quote this post and make more unneeded statements about us being a commercial project, when I've clearly stated this is not the case. If you feel any of the author's rights have been broken you can follow the guidelines published by Bohemia. End of discussion. Just to make things clear: The only reward that is granted upon a donation is a forums tag, and in the future a player CP to check stats and a whole bunch of other website related features (which are not in game rewards on our servers and therefor not breaking any EULA!) Caiden.

Hello Rob, Gnat's plane('s) is not included in our modpack. All of the addons in the modpack have been made by us (or we have been given permission to use it for the ArmA 3 Life mod) I can probably give you a list of more than 100 sites, if not thousands that break the BIS' license agreement in terms of giving out donation rewards, and it's happening on a large scale as well (I'm talking about some indie game companies that have setup 5/6 Altis Life servers and are actually profiting from it, even including a referral system). I think it would be wise to go after them rather than our mod which is not breaking any terms of the BIS license as we speak. We have no donation rewards, all donations are voluntarily and access to the mod can be given without a financial contribution (which is at our discretion via a whitelist request on our forums). This is my statement and end of discussion regarding donations. Caiden.

Just making you guys aware that the .p3d is still not moved after binarizing the addon (.p3d not found error). Caiden.

@NKey Hello TFAR developers. I run a big ArmA 3 community called ArmA 3 Life and we've been using TFAR since the launch of our modpack for the last week. We like it alot but have come across the following problem: We use the TFAR addon in conjunction with the Altis Life framework and have run into the following couple of issues: TFAR seems to throw this error when being on the civilian side and is causing quite a spam in the RPT (a similar errors happends when having a long range radio as well): Also our players run into random crashes/freezes which can be either 5 min into the game or 5 hours later. After having different users posting their .RPT we came to the conclusion that the issue might be TFAR related: Cannot find base _radio_settings for /value/Item6/ .: Value type not matching: != Array EOF in string Cannot find base ;‹tf_anprc148jem_40_se for /value/Item6/data/type/ .: Value type not matching: != Array Unknown entry type a in /value/Item6/data/type/ Here's some different RPT files gathered from our playerbase: http://pastebin.com/77L62PsW http://pastebin.com/D8J3pBCf http://pastebin.com/ZiVy17Rj http://pastebin.com/3u8M65QL http://pastebin.com/q8RwsvGf https://www.dropbox.com/s/ex692fkp7w1kcye/ArmA3_2014-09-12_11-41-36.rpt?dl=0 Would it be possible for you to find out what is causing these crashes? They are very random and can happen between 5 minutes and 6 hours. Some users have reported playing fine for 8 hours however. We're using the latest version of TFAR. It might maybe also be good to note that I could see quite a massive bandwidth increase when using #monitor when the TFR addon is enabled on the server (Not sure if this may be related to the above problems? Bandwidth out is around 80/100mbs with 35ppl). We're running into massive desyncing issues when reaching about 35-40 players which aren't there when TFR is not being used, server FPS seems to be perfectly fine however (~35-40FPS). Perhaps this is all related to the client that keeps requesting radio settings which do not exist causing very high network traffic? Steps to reproduce: Create a mission with the players on the civilian side. Even in the editor this issue is there. Caiden.
