BP thanks for the update.......yep I had the SofS and JSRS both enabled by accident and while they appeared to run I am sure there might be some conflicts........ My 2 main issues are now with blast core and SofS I seem to lose some of the blood mist effect (which I think is great!) and this saved game issue I have with SofS (its strange when I try and load a saved game with SofS enabled I go into this splash screen that shows the name of the mission I am playing and lots of detail like rating/duration/reverts/objectives and then it basically doesn't let me load any of the saved games but reverts to the main menu and I have to start again - weird thing is with both SofS and JSRS enabled saved games work fine - anyone any ideas on how to resolve this or can it be fixed in the update?(note I am running the dev build)

EDIT: just discovered the issue with the saved games is somehow connected with running speed of sound mod - note with SofSV2 enabled I have the problem with the saved games not loading properly with SofS disabled they work fine - strangely I have only once got the saved games working with SofS enabled this was when I accidently had both SofS and JSRA 2.0 sound mod running at the same time?!?

I am having issues with loading saved games which started a few weeks ago - I am running the Dev Build and have a few mods running including speed of sound and recently started having issues playing the saved games I create during my missions (I usually play editor created missions or sometimes showcase missions or steam workshop missions all in SP) - before I simply selected the saved game I want from the load menu and loaded the saved game without any problems - now when I select the load saved game option I go to some new screen with the rating/duration/objectives of the mission I am playing - when I select continue at this point the game just reverts to the main in game menu or I have sometimes found myself in a group channel screen!?! floating around - but whatever I try I can't load any of the saved games I create which is very frustrating (note I already have unlimited saved games selected in the difficulty) - unsure if this problem is caused by a mod I am using such as speed of sound or an update or something I have accidentally selected in game - hope someone can help because its ruining the game for me at the moment!?!

bravo 6 SofSV2 is one of the best mods for ARMA3 but I tend to agree its all a bit confusing different versions and hot fixes all over the web - would be great just to have a single updated download for the V2 version (in my opinion the best and most realistic of all the sound mods out there!!). Also having a strange issue with my saved games not working....... EDIT: just discovered the issue with the saved games is somehow connected with running speed of sound mod - note with SofSV2 enabled I have the problem with the saved games not loading properly with SofS disabled they work fine - strangely I have only once got the saved games working with SofS enabled this was when I accidently had both SofS and JSRA 2.0 sound mod running at the same time?!? - BP not sure if your aware of this one (also had some issues with the blood mist since I installed blast core mod last night)

alduric - this looks excellent but any chance of a single file, updated (to current version) and non torrent download for this mod?

Bigpickle many thanks installed the V2 + Hotfix file - also do I need to install the MortarFFAR hotfix which appears around p39 of this thread or is that included in the p1 file? Could someone also please help with an issue I am having with saved games that I noticed discussed earlier in this thread - I am running the Dev Build and have a few mods running including speed of sound and recently started having issues playing the saved games I create during my missions (I usually play editor created missions or sometimes showcase missions SP also) - before I simply selected the saved game I want from the load menu and simply loaded the saved game - now when I select the load saved game option I go to some new screen with the rating/duration/objectives of the mission I am playing - when I select continue at this point the game just reverts to the main in game menu or I have even found myself in a group channel screen - but whatever I try I can't load any of the saved games I create which is very frustrating (note I already have unlimited saved games selected in the difficulty) - unsure if this problem is caused by a mod I am using such as speed of sound or an update or something I have selected in game - hope someone can help because its ruining the game for me at the moment!!

Bigpickle - absolutely love the mod completely takes the game up a notch especially the blood mist! - couple of questions 1)I am running the v2 version of the mod which I think is the most realistic of the 2 versions - but how do I know if I am running the most up to date version? - I note from the forum there are a few hotfixes around for the V2 (one hotfix for V2 on page 1 of this post and then a classname and a core fix on armaholic website - not sure if this is for V1 or V2 of the mod) - which one should I be using and how should I install the file? 2)There seem to be a lot of discussion on broken saved games - I have started getting this also in scenarios or editor SP missions - just cant seem to revert to any of my saved games anymore (really annoying) -is there a work around?

Can someone tell me or show me how I can incorporate artillery support/strikes into my games. Mainly playing SP editor created or steam workshop missions at the moment and never been able to figure out how to give my player the artillery in the support menu so he can call it in (I do have the MCC sandbox installed if it helps)

thanks - finally got it working!

Just getting really confused about the VAS and how to use it...sorry if this is basic question! basically I have some weapon mods (SCAR) that I can only use through the VAS ammo box but I have no idea how to spawn one of these (which I understand gives you access to all ARMA3 weapons and items). Basically I only play in single player - sometime scenarios sometimes I create missions in editor - and have already figured out how to spawn normal ammo boxes no problem using the MCC software - but not the VAS ones that contain everything. Note I think I might already have the VAS mod installed in my system - in single player missions I get the credits for the mod on the splash screen (its perhaps been installed when I installed the MCC sandbox mod?!?). However I can't figure out how to spawn a virtual ammo box - have already looked at some of the guides for using VAS i.e spawn a basic NATO weapon box on the editior map and change some of the code for the box to the below: this addAction["<t color=#ff1111'>Virtual Ammobox</t>", "VAS\open.sqf]; 1. #include "VAS\menu.hpp" 2. 3. class CfgFunctions 4. { 5. #include "VAS\cfgfunctions.hpp" }; This spawns the ammo box and when I go over it in game I get the Virtual Ammo Box option in red - but it still only lets me view the basic ammo box weapons when I try and explore it! To confuse me even further using the MCC mission editor I can spawn a custom ammo box that includes the SCAR - bit its a bit time consuming.... Hope someone can guide me on how to spawn a full virtual ammo box in game (i.e do I need to install the full VAS2.2 software standalone - or am I doing something wrong and can a spawn a full virtual box using the MCC?

Not sure whats wrong with my ARMA3 - but I used to have the ability to make many saved games during either an editor preview of a mission or a scenario mission taken from steam workshop (i.e when i was killed I could just re-load my last saved position (note in the difficulty menu I had enable saved games)) However just found today when i try and load a saved game i get taken to a screen titled with the name of the mission (ignore the title of this thread as I couldn't edit it - but %208 is just the name of the mission I was playing I think) it shows duration and objective of the mission then takes me to some floating view that is titled the command channel at the bottom which I have to abort to get out of - so basically I can only restart missions when I get killed rather than load the saved game - but it still lets me save my position as I go along as before - note I usually play SP and I am running develop build. Not sure what I am doing wrong or is this a bug maybe in the dev build?

I have MCC installed - someone told me you can spawn a VAS ammo crate using this (I am assuming a VAS ammo crate is one that includes all ARA3 weapons) - can someone tell me how I can do this?(I have already found the crate generator in the mission editor but this doesn't seem to be a proper VAS crate containing all weapons?)

Help struggling to get this VAS to work- I just want to spawn a VAS with all the weapons - I think I might have this VAS already installed through the MCC sandbox but not sure - trouble is when I try and spawn a VAS in the editor in game I get the virtual ammo box in RED in the top left menu - but nothing happen when I select it I just get to explore the original Basic Weapons box and not the full selection of ARMA3 weapons - what am I doing wrong? do I need to install VAS standalone? or is there a quick way to do it via the MCC?
