Hi, I'd like to know if there is a basic tuto of sound modding, I don't find it, maybe I've searched wrongly. I'd like to replace the fire sound of the weapons, explosions, soniccracks. I only find advanced topics of sound modding (totally understand anything). For someone who understand nothing about the cpp, I'm lost. I already have the P disk mounted and I can understand the tools. I have some wav for weapon and I just want to replace the "fire" sound. Is it a complex operation or simple? To know if I'm starting something to big for my little brain. I tried to understand how a sound is made (from sound_F and weapon) but I'm lost. Anyone has some tips or very basic tuto to help me, please?

Hi, I'd like to know where the community of ArmA3 can report to Bohemia the servers wich are using a donation system (pay to have access to official contents of Bohemia and mods imported with official tools). I've tried to report to Matt but he doesn't answer. Is there something Bohemia can do about these illegal servers making money with people who have already paid for the game? The information (legal rules) of those servers creators is not well known so they imagine they can do whatever they want just because a lot of popular servers are using the "donation system" with an access to the "donator shop".

Yes, it's just a little misunderstanding about multiplayer section contest.

You mean that 10118 downloads on Armaholic is a proof that it's not interesting?. That shows again the incoherence of BIS: a contest for the community, but also totally doens't care about the community experiences.

I agree with the fact that a lot of people don't understand the choices of the jury. For me here are the variables that BIS should have taken seriously: - Originality - Code-scripting - Supporters - New gameplay added - Optimization - Popularity (steamworkshop, youtube) That's why I don't understand why MOCAP or Armageddon were not in the finalists. For example, when I see every videos on Armageddon (even some with 100.000 views), every players are having a lot of fun. You can not ignore that. I don't know why this proves that it's not an acceptable mod. Maybe BIS is not aware of what players are experiencing ingame... I haven't seen videos of airsoft multiplayers having so much fun... That shows there is a difference of mentality of BIS and the community... It would be great if some finalists can give their opinions about that. An important thing: be careful no to blame the finalists. Congratulation to them. What's the community wants is some explanation from BIS' decisions.

I find that the color in ArmA3 is not very realistic and brings less immersion ingame, here my little contribution for people who want another experience: -Single player: put it in the debug console (copy-paste all the code) and click on exec local to activate it. -In multiplayer: you have to put it on the mission. Here two color corrections with two styles (subtle differences): -Afghan: clearer, less colored -Mediterranean: more colored than Afghan Afghan Code: "ColorCorrections" ppEffectEnable true; "ColorCorrections" ppEffectAdjust [0.9, 0.9, 0, [0, 0.1, 0.25, -0.14], [1, 1, 1, 1.26], [0.15, 0.09, 0.09, 0.0]]; "ColorCorrections" ppEffectCommit 0; Mediterranean Code: "ColorCorrections" ppEffectEnable true; "ColorCorrections" ppEffectAdjust [0.88, 0.88, 0, [0.2, 0.29, 0.4, -0.22], [1, 1, 1, 1.3], [0.15, 0.09, 0.09, 0.0]]; "ColorCorrections" ppEffectCommit 0; Afghan picture: Vanilla: http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2015/03/1421029340-2015-01-12-00010.jpg (684 kB) Afghan Code: http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2015/03/1421029342-2015-01-12-00011.jpg (693 kB) Mediterranean picture Vanilla: http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2015/03/1421028199-2015-01-12-00005.jpg (666 kB) Mediterranean Code: http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2015/03/1421028201-2015-01-12-00007.jpg (704 kB) Here the topic in french: http://arma-france.com/forums/index.php?threads/corrections-couleurs-medit-afghan.5/ I hope you will make beautiful videos from the battlefield. Try them ingame, you'll feel the difference. My motto: immersion

Yes, I've updated pictures with comparison.

Total servers online: 5704 Total Altis Life: 1375 Total Takistan Life: 125 Total Epoch Mod: 1140 Total Breaking Point: 29 Total King of the Hills: 115 Total Wasteland: 372 MILITARY GAME MODES : Invade & Annex : 105 Domination : 95 Insurgency : 75 After this, think what you want and make your own opinion about it.

Sorry, didn't see it was only for the contestants. I leave.

Yep, because it was a topic about servers lists, not focusing on Topic in particular, I made a mistake on the title. Well, have a good day sir.

MSO, Patrol Ops, Insurgency, Domination, Warfare, CTI... I've had many hours of this in ArmA2 and I'm sad that it's dying. I'm sad that now people want to mow the grass and collect peaches than have tactical coop gameplay. But, time changes...But that doesn't matter. What matter is that many of the new generation of ArmA are profiting and don't care about any rules of licences. I don't recognize myself with that kind of mentality. And you?

"blaming" No, I said an ironic thank. I did not blame. Don't exagerate. There is a difference between making an irony and blaming. It's is me. And now I understood that I have to keep some opinion in me. Because when you start to have an opinion wich is not going well for the majority, you become an animal and all the people are charging you because when you make an irony, for them it is a total insult or blame. Maybe it's because in Belgium we have a lot of irony and self-derision... I think it is better to love everyone now for the eternity and never make ironic thank again.

I don't want to create issues about communities. Just to point the fact that many people are not respecting the rules and are profiting and that many people are respecting the rules. This is real. And the debate is not if there are players who prefer playing this or that, but the substance is that there are people behind that, and they don't care about anything just because they saw that something is becoming popular and if many players are doing that, I can do that too. It's not the content of the mission, but the way to think of those players.

I don't care about game mod.... that's not the point. "Altis Life as a game mode is not a problem. It's how these people are exploiting various aspects of it to make money." Well that's I'm trying to tell since few hours... If you read my words I totally said that. "The game mode isn't what people are upset about, it's the profiteering". And again, that's what I'm focusing. Well, ....nervermind.

"It has nothing to do with the game mode itself." I'm sorry to teach you that the most servers profiting with a donation system are Altis Life servers, not Dominations server or Insurgency servers... They are doing it by a donator shop ingame. I didn't see donator shop in domination, insurgency, ... http://arma-france.com/illegal-servers/ "This would be just as outrageous if they were profiting off of a military-style mission/addon" Yes I agree, but they are not doing it. With "IF" we can imagine everything, I'm talking about facts.

It would be nice to have more comments of real soldiers, not to say that ArmA is not a real simulator as we all know, but to compare the sway of ArmA (trying to bring the "real stress feeling") and the reality of the soldier and the control of his weapon sway in the battlefield. ps: I know, if I want a real simulator, I can join the army, blabla, what I'm saying is a simple comparison, not a total exam of ArmA vs Reality, just this particular point. I can add the opinion of a weapon technician of FN Herstal wich a part of his job is to show-teach clients, soldiers the way to use and fire SCAR, Mk3, F2000, P90, Mag... And after doing that for 8 years, he said that the sway is far from the reality. This is one opinion (not with the stress of the battlefield added) but it is a good opinion to me. Also when he said he can shoot standing up with an AK47 at a target at 300m with the iron sight and hit. I know the stress is not there, it is not the same situation, I understand, but what about soldiers who are a a bit prepared (they are trained in stress). Even that we can not totally be prepared at war...

I was sarcastic if you didn't see it... And please feel free to clarify: First, I think my comments fit perfectly in this topic about people profiting from donation system (Altis Life is in the same situation with servers doing a pay to access content, wich is illegal if you read the rules) Secondly, I find sad that we (community of military style), respect the rules of Bohemia, but those (A3L-Altis Life) don't care about the rules and are making money by doing pay to access. Situation seems obvious to me...

Well, it's not important anymore. If Mattlightfoot says that Bohemia can do nothing about it, it's not a problem anymore. The point of view of Bohemia: the community has to deal with it.

I did that but I'm a bit confused and lost. Thanks for the answer by the way.

For the same reason of violation. Bohemia has rules, they don't respect. Why do we have to respect BIS's rules but not them? Everyone has to be on the same level. If people can not understand rules, that's another debate... Sure A3L and Altis Life are not the same name or mission-mod, but these are the same kind of gameplay RP. And the fact is that modders, editors, creators or whatever you called them, have to respect the rules. But if everyone wants to make a pay to access contents and Bohemia is agreeing with that, so let's do it. If it's ok for everyone, I'll start ArmaDeus mod at 50 euros. Maybe Armaggedon will be at 100 euros. Let's go making money!!! I will put my next comment at 2 euros to unlock them in the donator comments shop. With a special 10 euros, you will have a discount (30%) on my 10 next comments retextured!!! Sometimes I will make pre-alpha release of my comments.

Good work Antha, I hope that the release Alpha will be really in january, not months later.... All members Armadeus support you!

Can an admin lock the topic?

I asked to lock the topic, wrong title. I opened a new one not focusing on a person in particular.

I'll change the title if so. I can not edit the title. I'll close this one and open a new one with a better title. I didn't want to focus on a person in particular, I get it. Just want to report a fact that there are a few traditional vanilla servers.
