Arma 3 low fps and degrade over time because of sound error, found what it cause (ssAdv) + steps to reproduce
fn_Quiksilver replied to Madin's topic in ARMA 3 - DEVELOPMENT BRANCH
i wonder if shutting the units up via https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/enableSentences https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setSpeaker would have any effect i toggle enablesentences to stop AI speech once server fps drops below 20, but that was in hope to reduce network load, didn't consider a leak on the server in any case i hope it gets fixed pronto -

fn_Quiksilver replied to Madin's topic in ARMA 3 - DEVELOPMENT BRANCH
Could this be the cause of an issue where AI units are deleted but clients still hear callouts from their last position? -
yes learning to write “spaghetti” sqf is also a good strategy. comes naturally to some of us
-
we see this in torrents as well. 5 seeders and 50 leechers. the number of people who take but give nothing in return far outnumber those who give too

i typed a longer reply but it disappeared :( but yes we stored many script components serverside to prevent re-hosting. we wanted a full 60-player server during development for balancing and tuning gameplay, and allowing re-hosting would probably have bled some of that community away. we ended up having a great community and a great 18 month experience and we were all sad when the time came to shut the server down, though running a community with hundreds of people does take its toll (and also takes away from dev time). modders already get close to nothing for their time (from the users of their mods), and people who have run populated arma servers would understand how scummy the arma community can be with respect to modders time/effort. thankfully there are enough good people in the community to make it usually worthwhile.

Any more info? I know there are animations but i did not know there are vanilla door actions
-
more info would be good, what sort of lag? also send me the server RPT of the affected session (in addition to RPT of a 'control' session where the FPS was fine). Server RPT file will show the player + AI count + server FPS at regular intervals to give an idea of the situation also congrats on the server

Keeping AI Infantry Units in Hard Cover Scenario Design
fn_Quiksilver replied to vihkr's topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
the “addEventHandler” command has no network propagation (but “addMPEventHandler” does), so the code is executed only on the machine which the event handler was added. so if you want some code executed by the “new owner” machine, the event first has to exist on that machine for anything to happen -
Hi lads, Are there established methods of resizing a "frame" to fit text?

Resizing a display to fit text

ahh "ctrlTextHeight" thank you, a command i haven't used before :) -

note that that Local event handler has to be added on the "receiving" machine before locality is transferred. -
Getting window position in buildings
fn_Quiksilver replied to HazJ's topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
If its for use on any terrain it will take some function to calculate the position but if its for vanilla terrains and regular buildings, it would only take ~20 min to go through all the houses and manually define model offset position of all the "firing position" windows, with the added benefit of saving CPU resources during the mission, and also benefit of not dealing with the edge cases and anomalies presented by a functional solution. most house models are variants of the same ~10 base house models. -

Proper init.sqf etiquette / order?
fn_Quiksilver replied to zagor64bz's topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
the order things are executed in dont matter in this context. as long as its functional and doesn't cause errors then its not going to be an issue in terms of CPU time. best practice for A3 has always been to not use init.sqf at all, but instead (as posted above) to already have split server/client init into two separate files, but that is more organizational, init.sqf still works just fine -
Carrier Shooter Animation - crashing the game
fn_Quiksilver replied to Wolfinator's topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
he probably added those redundant lines after trying the script and having it not work @Wolfinator the only actual error i can see after glancing at the block is this if (isMirrored = true) then { remember = is for variable assignment, not for if statements. check out the link Revo posted -
getting back to arma scripting AND trying to use older I&A code with WWII mods
fn_Quiksilver replied to jandrews's topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
these two lines look incorrect _static = [_randomPos, west, (configfile >> "CfgVehicles" >> [STATIC_TYPE] call BIS_fnc_selectRandom createVehicle _randomPos;)]; _AOmrap = [_randomPos, west, (configfile >> "CfgVehicles" >> [MRAP_TYPE] call BIS_fnc_selectRandom createVehicle _randomPos;)]; -
Retrieving assignTeam colour
fn_Quiksilver replied to kahssymhir's topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
this is right, but can also lead to script errors due to the potential for the command to return nothing. assignedTeam should always have an "isNil" check before use if (!isNil {assignedTeam <unit>}) then { _team = assignedTeam <unit>; } else { _team = "MAIN"; }; -
there's no official support for either of those requests (it is by design that only the ammo-limited base artillery has arty computer, while mortars require calculation to fire). google "arma 3 artillery calculator" but it would be reasonably easy to mod the framework to enable arty computer. just do a mission folder search for the enableEngineArtillery script command, and comment all the lines out. for the pilot role, you could add the role in the mission, but i dont know whether it would break certain features. the mission was designed for a single cas pilot and makes references in some scripts to the cas pilot (such as for plane spawning). but you could try it and see what happens.

Scripting Discussion (dev branch)
fn_Quiksilver replied to Dwarden's topic in ARMA 3 - DEVELOPMENT BRANCH
I have good results when i put the landing orders in the waypointstatement of a move waypoint. so "move to [X,Y,Z]" then attempt landing. No extra loops required. https://github.com/auQuiksilver/Apex-Framework/blob/master/Apex_framework.terrain/code/functions/fn_AIXHeliInsert.sqf#L297-L308- 1481 replies

Glad to see this thread stickied again :) if specific feedback or repro examples are needed let us know here, im sure we can come up with things quickly. community is here to help, though we might grumble and rant, the worst kind of feedback is the person who silently disappears without explanation. and though we are a noisy minority, i think a lot of people care about this part of the core game.

it was not designed to support ACE sorry. maybe it could be made to work but ive never tried it and wouldnt know where to start or what issues would be encountered. if you want to post here or PM me with the issues you're encountering, i can point you to the correct files

Destroyable props/fortifications
fn_Quiksilver posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Like some houses/walls/terrain objects have different damaged states and can be destroyed, are there place-able fortifications like sandbags which can be destroyed? -
also happens to be the least moddable and least work-around-able part of the game, yet fiercely guarded from publishing the code and allowing community designers to fix
