Interesting addon, however upon using this in a coop multiplayer we all get spammed every few minutes with red pop up text about "donate if you appreciate the efforts" - any way to disable this as it makes the mod unplayable.

this type of stuff pops up every 45-90 seconds in game for all players, makes using your mod impossible. Mission is hosted on a local machine (as in player-host) with only a few women down to spice up the civvie population. Doesn;t seem to stop at all, for the full 45 minutes of the mission we all got spammed with the pop up messages constantly

Greetings BI community users.
Today friday 21 i tried to keep working on an insurgency mission that i've been editing for the past 3 weeks and when i finally had some time to keep working on it i got this problem.
I updated to ACE 3.8 today.
any idea why am i getting this problem?

MOD EDIT
PLEASE DO NOT QUOTE IMAGES. THANKS :)
EDIT;
After much searching I was able to fix my problem without installing AceX.
If the mission file is binarzied, you can't just simply open the mission.sqm, you would have to launch you game with all dependecies enabled (rolling ace3 back to 3.7), open the mission in the editor, un-check the "binarize on save", save the mission, go to the mission folder, open the mission.sqm in text editor, remove the dependency from the addOns and addOnsAuto (renumbing items if needed since you;re removing the ace_sitting item), save the file, close the game, launch without the dependency, go to the editor load up the mission file, check binarize again, and save, and I think you should be good to go.
Personally I really don't see why sitting was moved from ACE3 to the silly seperate mod! I thought the idea of ACE3 was to be modular within one mod (as Jonpas a few posts above indicates!)

Hi,
This mod looks really promising at breaking up the 'all male civilian population' experienced in arma: also gives options for the lady of our group. However the requirement of TRYK mod is holding me back as that mod is essentially a dead mod due to author losing source files. Is this mod looking at moving away from that compatibility? or is there a chance for a 'lite' standalone version? (equally on a personal note I've never liked the TRYK mod as it adds too much unnecessary - to me at least - stuff to the virtual aresenal)
Cheers,

I've tried painting the weight to all blue, however it doesn't seem to have changed anything in terms of warping/distortion?
I'm not 100% when it comes to o2 so I could be doing something wrong though!

Gents,
I've been trying to work on some new vests for my unit to get away from using reskinned arma 3 ones. However, I'm running into an issue where the vests warp quite dramatically and the shadowing goes to crap.
I've tried a different model.cfg and whilst the vest don't warp with it, they are on the floor between the characters legs (and the shadows are still screwed). As such I've gone back to the model.cfg as listed below.
Screenshots to show the issue:
My model.cfg

Sorry for replying in someone elses thread: however Im after exactly the same fix - care to share?
First time making 3d models and have quite a nice vest made that simply sits on the ground!
Cheers,
V
edit:
so, managed to figure out how to open property: ctl+1
autocenter is on 0
canocclude is on 0
canbeoccluded is on 1
However they still appear on the ground rather than in the currect place

In order to participate you will need a small mod collection found through play with six here:
https://play.withsix.com/arma-3/collections/1Bql6ZOgpUGEAmvtbBIA5Q/53rd-Public-Server-Pack
or direct PWS download here:

Mission INFO:
Operation HALLOWEEN THUNDER
Recently a fungal disease broke out in the small Greek Island chain of Altis and Stratis.
Despite the best efforts of the Greek medical teams and a World Health Organisation task force the disease has both spread and mutated.
The patients display severe rashes before entering a high fever. Once the fever starts it is rapidly followed by liquidation of internal organs and bleeding from the orifices.
Worryingly the disease has not stopped at killing its victims: shortly after death patients reanimate as mindless killing machines.
The more recently a victim has reanimated to more rapidly it can move; so be extremely vigilant of the freshly dead.
Early encounters indicate that the reanimated can be stopped by conventional weaponry, with headshots the most efficient method.
We do not know why this is happening: as a small Police unit we have limited assets to deal with this situation.
It is vital we scavenge supplies during this operation as we cannot estimate how long it will take us to reach the evacuation zone: if it is still standing.
Mission ASSETS:
Precinct 99 Police Force
Captain: .45 ACP
SWAT Officers: MX 6.5mm Assault Rifle
Police Officers: Sting 9mm Submachinegun
Police Medics: 5.56mm Assault Rifle
Police Marksmen: .44 Ruger Rifle
Doctor VIP: Unarmed

GENERAL RULES:
No Cheating/Hacking/Griefing
No Spamming Comms
No Teamkilling / Asset DestructionNo Lone Wolves - Work Together
No Recruiting for any unit other than the 53rd

This post has a few updates:
Our official campaign now sees us deployed to Bornholm fighting against a Russian invasion by the 76th guards air assault division. One of our new members is going to be doing some live streaming of official missions on Sundays at 20:00 London time - these can be viewed here: http://www.twitch.tv/darkcityxx
Missions are also on Tuesdays at 20:00 London time with additional evenings being available for play on our public server or drop-in training events.
We are always open for new members who wish to be involved in a mature, teamwork focused, co-operative unit that values comraderie and enjoyment of the experience. For more see our website at www.53rdairinfantry.com

Nope, all of your units are showing on IND for me with this latest release.
Previously there was a mix of OPFOR and IND as I was using two different ones to simulate drug cartel conflict whilst BLUFOR (my unit) performed objectives against both factions.
V
EDIT: Shots from the editor:
Appreciate the mod and the effort that goes into it!

Thanks for the update however it seems to break missions using the mod - seems that you've moved some forces that were previously OPFOR to IND.

Hum, personally I'd rather the dialog in my face then this system.
However if we aren't going to get the option of an agm styled interaction menu can there at least be a more intuitive approach for treating other's wounds (the static list for self interaction seems to be somewhat better), bigger icons/catchment area and less clutter? It currently feels like the menu is there to interrupt what I want to be doing rather than helping me do it - especially having to patch up a buddy in the heat of combat it all moves around far too much and is extremely difficult to hit tiny icons and go through the submenus.
Also, please don't take this as me getting shirty with you (as other than the menu ACE3 is looking fantastic) however reading through this thread there is quite a bit of criticism of the menu and its difficulty of use for various reasons. Sure you can't please everyone and you want to make ACE3 its own thing rather than a spin together of various team members' previous mods however I think on the menu issue you might be in danger of throwing the baby out with the bathwater with how useable agm's static rose system was.
Cheers,
V

I really don't care for the new menu interaction system. I've been running into a lot of issues. For one, it's too small. There's no need for it to be that small except that you guys are trying to map stuff onto bodies and shit. That's not worth the loss in accuracy in tense situations. The system needs to be used in COMBAT. Hovering over something, hoping it opens up accurately then doing that again and again on small icons is not optimal for that.This is why I was worried about CSE's team being involved. Their stuff tries to be too flashy and shiny. AGM was basically just ACE. It was functional, it fit the aesthetic, but it was still really simple to use.
I know this is harsh but I really don't like this. You had a system that worked really well. It could have used some tweaking with the expanded features in ACE3, but come on. Now I have to worry if I'm close enough to the left arm or not? Even though I can get the right arm, while standing on the left side? Why not just pop me into a menu with a diagram and let me quickly get around with a menu with everything in the same place every time. Not to mention figuring what part of the body needs things that have nothing to do with particular limbs.
The system you have now is cool. It could even be better for SOME interactions. But not everything. Give us better menus, not prettier flashier menus. Or at least options to make things static (even for interaction menu stuff like giving someone medical treatment) and increase the scale.
I know I'll get bitched out for giving honest feedback but I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it and didn't think the team couldn't handle it.
Looking forward to seeing how this evolves.
Having tried ACE3 unofficial for several days now (and taking onboard suggestions in response to my previous post regarding difficulty using the menu - such as enabling cursor in interaction menu and enable list mode) I still think this menu layout is a terrible design decision that is an exercise in frustration without adding any 'realism'. AGM is/was WAAAAAAAY more intuitive and sensible - the current ace3 menu seems arbitrarily difficult to navigate and use simply to slow things down in some sort of faux-realism.
Please, Please, Please reconsider this menu system: and if you really must insist on keeping this 'design over function' approach to the menu at least give us the option of having an AGM style one that we can actually use.
Other than the menu ace3 is looking great and a massive step forward for ARMA3.
Cheers,
V

Just gave this a try since AGM is discontinued.
Generally like the feel of it and it seems like it is a worthy follower of ACE2.
My only complaint is the menu system - is there any chance of a 2D system like AGM's as this 3d one is clunky as balls to use? - Honestly feel that if the 53rd adopted this that several of our chaps will shy away from providing buddy aid simply because the menu is balls hard to use without your view flopping all over the place!

Dear All,
Two important things of note:
First up is that we have streamlined the process for new recruits. Instead of the old, rather convoluted method of filling an online form before subscribing to the forums all new enlistments will sign up and submit directly on the forums to not only speed the process up but also hopefully prevent some of the issues we have experienced with delayed responses to applicants and some technical issues.
Secondly:
The 53rd has launched its own 40 player Public Server based in the UK. We are currently running an edited Invade and Annex Altis mission on the server and are working on creating a decent rotation of co-op teamwork, objective based missions. You can find the server stats and details here;
http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/31.3.225.43:2302/
We also have our TS3 channel available for people on our public server which can be found here: 85.236.100.85:20577
And of course: our server rules are pretty simple:
General Rules:
No Cheating/Hacking/Griefing
No Spamming Comms
No Teamkilling / Asset Destruction
No Recruiting for any unit other than the 53rd
REMEMBER:
This is a CO-OP server so work together for mission success!
So, feel free to jump on the 53rd public server, check out the website, and sign up for the 53rd!
Cheers,
V

Nikolay,
Same here unfortunately. I'm not going to hold my breath for an update either since the initial post points out that this project is no longer being maintained.
As such I'm currently looking at what Arma 3 standalone maps are available.
V
-
Having the same issues with the chaps above: the latest update has reset the keys to default which I am currently unable to change anywhere.
V

Very sorry to ask however I've been trying to get it resolved myself for a couple of days now - how do I change the config to allow surrendering on the Playwithsix download version?
I've added in a copy of the config.sqf from the armaholic version and have ensured that -noFilePatching is disabled: however it doesn't appear to have changed anything?
Sorry for asking, I've just exhausted all other options and am going around in circles now!
Cheers,

Recruiting Now
Hi all,
An update to let everyone know that next week we will be hosting some public co-op sessions - both modded and un-modded and you are all most welcome to jump in!
Feel free to jump on the 53rd TS: info can be found on the website to click and connect! watch this thread for more information and if you have any questions, please feel free to drop by our forums!
We may also be interested in doing some objective based team versus team games in the enar future: so please feel free to drop me a message here or in the public area of the 53rd forums if you fancy getting something together with us.
As a group we have been around for nearly 10 years through various sims, as such we have a lot of experience in co-op teamwork gameplay.
As a CO-OP group we play objective based co-op missions within a narrative campaign: at present we have just deployed to Thirsk Island where CSAT forces are attempting to deploy ICBM systems to threaten western cities.
We have 30 members with official mission nights drawing in between 15 and 20 members from across the globe. Our mission times are Tuesday and Sunday at 2000 ZULU with additional training and public sessions hosted on other evenings. We have recently begun work on a new training programme to ensure all new members are familiar with the way we operate and can easily slot into the team. Don't worry though: you won't be shouted at, treated like a child or be asked to pick a leaf off of a distant tree - we are a relaxed milsim unit who are looking for like minded people to share this game with.
You can also find our one click collection mod pack on playwithsix to make joining up with us even easier: http://www.53rdairinfantry.com/mods.html
We hope to see you dropping by to join up with the 53rd soon!

You might want to make your wording clearer that it isn't for multiplayer use: "It's not possible to use my MOD in private servers without my permission" at the bottom of the armaholic download doesn't really imply this (since it is player-host publicly open without a password co-op mission and not a "private" server ).
Oh well, we've all now deleted it since there is no point in using it if we can't spice up the civilian population of our coops - shame but hay-ho it's you mod so your rules.
