turn off the snap to terrain feature inside Eden editor (its the two arrows pointing towards a solid line, to the right of the area scaling button), then the composition will spawn exactly as it was created. Or you could simply raise the helipad up to the correct level. You should probably make the heli spawn a bit higher than the pad itself so nothing clips through and causes it to explode.

try it in single player. If it gets good FPS then the server hardware is inadequate for the mission, or the mission itself is crappily coded to the point where it affects performance. In that case, find another server that has lower playercount, better hardware, or a different mission altogether.

the upload connection could easily be saturated/oversaturated by a couple players. although i've experienced this with a dedicated server with all the bandwidth it could possibly need as well, that was due to a firewall blocking some of the traffic from the server out to the clients. You could also try trial and error with the server settings (maxBandwidth, msgSend, which all affects how the server will utilize the network connection and sending "updates" to clients).

the AI started moving around and behaving like normal, unlike how they're supposed to be acting while in the editor environment (frozen, not moving at all, default 'gun up' animation).

A simple google search of 'arma 3 units' spits out this: https://units.arma3.com/#?order_field=created_at&order_direction=desc&limit=9&page=1&layout=grid basically it would seem that contains links to a specific unit you are in, probably so others can see it. The links you posted point straight to a non-existant unit, which makes sense if your not in any units to begin with.

make sure the BEConfig you want is the one thats currently active, might need something like a server restart so battleye will use the newer config file instead of the old one. (when server is running BE renames config to BEserver_active_some-random-letters-and-numbers-here.cfg)

is Battleye enabled on the server?

Since its on windows 7 I'll assume its not running out of a datacenter and you haven't opened ports on the router properly in order for it to send and receive traffic from the outside. is the server running out of a datacenter (if the above is not true)? if so theres a good chance theres a hardware firewall filtering traffic on the server's end (usually in some cases you can access it through a web browser on the server when remotely controlling the machine). Ask your provider if theres anything that could be preventing a connection from the outside on their end.

technically it is very possible to steer the light from the pointlights into a single focused direction, of course its not very easy to get the desired effect pointing the way you want it, I was able to get it to change direction by attaching the light to an object then moving it around (setLightAttenuation)

Just curious as to what the name of the handler is, or if its even implemented as it isn't on the wiki. Was going to take a look at what it passes to see if it would be possible to manipulate it .

"DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG: The graphics driver stopped responding because of an invalid combinastion of commands sent by the app. If you get this error repeatedly, it usually means the app caused the device to hang and needs to be debugged. " though many topics indicate many gtx 580's have this issue with many games. Some say the drivers were botched and rolling back fixed, others had their card OC'ed and turned it back to normal which solved the crashing. Your other games are having the same instability problem so there is a very good chance your card is on its last legs or its drivers are just complete crap that was shovelled out the door early. To be honest it seems like the gtx580 (and even other cards after/before it) were not very well made. All have many people on many different forums complaining about them having stability problems.

It would seem like from the picture its duping the stuff created for every player since the script fires on all machines. Let the server run the function and pass all other things like player into that function, this way, only one of each is created and no duping can occur. tip: if your spawning stuff like cars the server should probably be doing it in order to avoid it being duped across multiple clients (createVehicle will broadcast effect across the network where other commands used above/below might not.)

Its' resolved now at least for me, though others are having issues with blank pages if they're not logged in now as well.

It would seem like the tag issues have been resolved, although others seem to be having other issues now as well. I'm wondering if some quick changes were made to speed things up a bit and it broke the site.

Same here.

Well then how about you rebind w+s and see if that fixes the trouble?

What? It never was theft to begin with. Bohemia was well aware that people could use scripting commands to get around it, it was completely intentional, otherwise I'd be questioning how they could NOT notice it at some point. To my knowledge there is no plans for that system for vehicles to change. You still get a disadvantage with the tiles being plastered across the screen.

The water reflecting things it shouldn't is simply just revealling problems with reflectivity and some things 'showing' through other objects simply because of underlying engine issues that had to do with physX. Much the same way that light magically goes through walls (and glows on all wall 'faces' except the one thats directly opposite of the lightsource). I do agree that the ghille suits do not match the terrain anymore and could use some tweaking so they match once again.

anything over 5 megs is usually too much for players, tho if they're friends or you let them know why its so big then they might stay

try fiddling around with the network performance settings link basically just changes how many messages need to accumulate on the server before it packages them up and sends them off to clients, more frequent updates would probably result in less desync tho it might completely decimate the network if it can't handle the load

nope.jpg but seriously probably not do-able without a looooooooottt of map work. prehaps a 2d texture would suit the purpose (i assume it would need to be fairly high resolution so it doesn't look like crap)? much math invovled im sure but could work

Sand Storms by austin_medic I decided to create a sandstorm script today, and I think its time to put it out there for others to use. This script does the obvious, creates a sandstorm. I created a few samples that have different intensities, as well as a forth that isn't really a sandstorm at all, it just creates a few dust particles every now and then and sends them off in a random direction. It also comes with a postprocessing effect to make it look a bit better. Using the script is simple, just put in init.sqf: nul = [your-game-logic-here] execVM "AUSMD_sandstorm.sqf"; The calm dust script is the only one that needs two game logics instead of one. You are free to change whatever values you want inside any of the scripts to suit your own purposes, as long as I get credit for the original script. Update V2 Fixed the sandstorm not following the player when he was in a vehicle minor tweaks to sandstorm script to make it a bit more intense. Added a variable to disable the sandstorm when its no longer needed (AUSMD_sandstormEnable) Mirrors: Dropbox (V2) Armaholic (V2)

This tool is a combination of a few smaller programs that can help speed up some repetitive tasks by generating SQF code based on the parmeters you enter. This oculd also help by preventing you from making accidental typos and breaking the command/function you are trying to use. Features: Task Generator - creates task code to be put into a script based on what you enter. Intel Generator - creates code required to make the interactive intel objects useful. Light Point Generator - creates all the code you need to make light objects. RGB/Hex to A3 Calculator - converts RGB values to something that arma can use, also features a converter for hex to RGB. Note Creator - Creates code needed for notes on the map. Notification Creator - Creates code needed to create notifcations. DescriptionEXTCreator - Creates the backbone of your description.ext with a few clicks. Addaction creator - Creates addactions for you to use in scripts All of the above have tool-tips that tell you what something specific does and what values it can accept. Virus Total Report Installation: You can either simply drag out the executable or use the installer, though I think the executable is a much better choice as it doesn't require as much fiddling around. 2.2.0.0 Release Automatic updating, the program will periodically check if the server has a newer version of the program and will then download and notify you that a new version is availiable.

... there is no such thing as a 10 key, at least to my knowledge, unless you mean F10. any possible number combination is made out of the numbers 0 through to 9. there is no reason for 10 to exist because it can be made from a 1 and a 0.
