Hello, Task Force 1776 is proud to offer a new Tanoa Domination mission for Arma 3. We have all the new equipment & goodies plus all the great features of domination for the new Tanoa Map in Arma3. If you are not familiar with TF1776 we have been running Domination in Arma 2 since 2011 and still have pretty much the only active domination server left in Arma 2. We offer a unique twist to domination that most players have come to identify as the top version of the mission. Please visit us on the server and let your friends know about it. We also have a teamspeak, so feel free to hop on with a few of your friends and use a room to communicate. Thank you, Task Force 1776 Representative Ministry of Bureaucratic Administration and Activity Oversight Compliance Division www.TF1776.com Teamspeak: TS3.TF1776.com

Is it possible to stop players handcuffing AI on a selective basis. This is to stop players running off with the medical staff, meaning players cannot find them to be cured of their ailments. Thanks in advance S

Hello, I am new to this forum, Nice to meet you guys. The reason I made a account on this forum is because I sometimes play arma 3 costum missions with a friend of mine on a server run straight from my computer. Now a few weeks ago I managed to get some new internet. And I want to test out how many players my computer/internet can handle before everything starts lagging out. Is this the right place to be for that?

Hi, is there server commands for the console u download ? Like tp or so ?

So recently I have been making a map for me and my friends. I want to make it so that if one of us dies, the game loads the previous autosave after 3 seconds. everything works just fine, but when it tries to load the game, it says Mission Failed" and I have to restart the whole scenario. It's as if it is trying to load the save but it is failing and popping up with that screen. can someone help? the command I am using to load the autosaves is the loadGame; command in a trigger that's activated when the group number drops below 5.

Hello, I'm creating a multiplayer game mode that is rank focused. I need some way to simply show each player's rank on screen. I've been able to use this addMissionEventHandler ["draw3d",{hintsilent format ["RANK: %1",rank player]}]; but everyone sees the same "hint" so it doesn't work for me. I also tried substituting "player" for the name of a unit with one "addmissioneventhandler" for each unit but still have the same message on each player's screen. I've been at this for a while and for the first time I cannot find my answer to a question here and have to post. I appreciate any help I can get. Thank you :-)

I understand we aren't able to create Multiplayer servers on Macs (which sucks) but It's not that big of a deal. I also, however, can't access any of the multiplayer servers if there are any. Once I press switch servers it's just a continual spinning wheel with no end. So is this some sort of bug, or can I not access any servers on a Mac?

SmallMilitaryEncounter Generator A dynamic mission for ARMA3 that generates small military encounters. The intent of the mission is to have something similiar to an Domination / Invade & Annex type COOP missions, but in a smaler and more infantry focused scope. And have a mission that is easily customize able, at least in my opinion. Most things you may want to change can be found in the files under config/. Also the mission is build from scratch and not a derivative of some other mission existing. I hope that most of the stuff works quite stable, but the mission didn't have very much "stress-testing" or balancing. This is also a reason why I relase it here, gather some feedback/criticism. You can follow further development via GitHub. Missions: _SMEGen_.Altis - default Enemy Faction: CSAT - default Player Faction: NATO _SMEGen_CUP.Chernarus - default Enemy Faction: CUP NAPA - default Player Faction: CUP USMC _SMEGen_CUP.Takistan - default Enemy Faction: CUP Takistan Army - default Player Faction: CUP US Army SMEGen_IFA3.Staszow - default Enemy Faction: IFA3 Soviet Forces - default Player Faction: IFA3 Wehrmacht DOWNLOAD from GitHub DOWNLOAD the PBOs DOWNLOAD from Armaholic FIND in my Workshop Changelog V.050 Mission Parameters select the enemy faction select a reward set select the amount of simultaneous mission sites select the AI skill level ( militia / regular / special forces ( for details check T8/config.hpp )) select if you want to keep your gear after respawning select if you want vehicle patrols between objectives Available tasks Currently there are 4 types of mission-sites with different tasks available. There is always a set of tasks available. If those tasks are finished a cleanup will happen and a new set of tasks will be generated. All sites on which tasks are spawned are currated in the config files! Towns clear occupied town destroy 2 mortars destroy 2 resupply vehicles kill HVT and his Guards gather INTEL from HVT Military Bases clear occupied base destroy 2 mortars destroy 2 resupply vehicles kill HVT and his Guards collect INTEL from HVT Road-Positions destroy broken down convoy clear road block / checkpoint IED site: clear IEDs or gather INTEL Installations destroy communication base (radiotower) recover UGV and return it to base (stomper) download INTEL in a compound Rewards Player Gear A player ranks up with every succesfully completed task. With every new rank the player will get acces to more, better gear in the virtual arsenal. Vehicles for completing a set of missions: mobile HQ / mobile respawn armed light APC armed light helicopter After completing two mission one vehicle will be spawned, starting with the MHQ. If one vehichle gets destoryed it will be respawned instead of spawning the next tiers vehicle. There won't be multiple iterations of the same vehicle. The reward vehicles can be found outside the base in the hangars. Also vehicles can be reapired in a service station in the main base. Vanilla Systems The missions uses various vanilla systems: BIS tasks BIS dynamic groups BIS virtual arsenal BIS respawn menu Time Acceleration: the time is accelerated: 4h IRL = 24h in game. If you want to change this, there is a module placed in the mission. Additional Scrips And the mission uses some other scripts: T8-Units Script FAR Revive (but in my own 'flavour' with some of the later sqf improvments) download data script (a bit updated version of my script) Singleplayer I use the singleplayer mostly for debugging. There are also some keys preset to help with porting the mission to a new map. You will need the following extension for SP debugging: KillzoneKids MakeFile extension KillzoneKids DebugConsole extension Keys: F5: log current player position as 'town' F6: log current player position as 'military base' F7: log current player position as 'road' (direction of the player matters! look down the road) F8: log current player position as 'compound' (use open, even space approx. 75m x 75m ) F9: exports the logged positions to a file with arma-config formating. http://imgur.com/a/hD6mM License # SME.Gen - SmallMilitaryEncounter Generator # A dynamic mission for ARMA3 that generates small military encounters. # Copyright (C) 2015-2016 Hauke Sven "T-800a" Fischbach # full License: https://github.com/T-800a/SME.Gen/blob/master/LICENSE This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

chcąc wejść na jaki kolwiek serwer ładuje mi się przez chwile i potem wyskakuje taki komunikat " matchmaking disconnected" i tak z każdym pomoże ktoś ??? :/

I know the devs have said they dont plan to add multiplayer for mobile but i would love to play with my friends and im sure many others feel the same.Im not asking for multiplayer with big servers i just want to br able to host a room where me and my friends can play and that would be easier to develop as you dont need to balance the player damage or have a different loot economy. So please devs if you can start working on something like that

Hello Im here on a last resort really as i have tried absolutely everything. First off the issue, so the usual go onto multiplayer find a server and click join, and thats where the fun begins. so usually as most of you know you get that nice little "Group Channel" icon down the bottom left of your screen and you know you are in the server, i dont get that, im sat looking at a picture of tanoa with all the lovely quotes at the bottom and it never loads anymore. what ive done so far, Alot really well everything me and my friend have thought off starting with the basics like making sure there are no mods, deleting MPmissions, verifying game cache etc etc then i decided to completely wipe any trace of arma 3 from my pc and start a download again but nope still same issue, i deleted my anti virus and disabled firewall to no avail, we checked the RTP file and when i join a server it just kinda gives up on loading and lets me sit and does nothing, so last night i decided to again wipe all arma traces and re-download, woke up and nope still broken, ive tried everything i can think of now and i cant think of much else. thank you all

My Zeus Game Master mission works near flawlessly, except for some reason all the virtual entities die when the mission starts. I will select the Zeus virtual entity at the start screen, and when it goes to the briefing it shows "No Signal", then starts with the screen pointing up and it shows me the death screen. Why is this happening? The Zeus can work if being used by a regular unit, but that causes strange re-spawning bugs. I want a normal virtual Zeus entity to be the Game Master, but that is impossible if it dies for no reason. Am I missing something for my virtual entities to be dying? I am using version 1.56 for the Eden editor, is that the cause of this strange bug?

I recently bought Arma II:OA on steam (holy steam sale) and tried the multiplayer but got this error. /You cannot play/edit this mission; it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted.chernarus, caweapons_ammoboxes, CAWater, cawater2_fishing_boat./ I only bought Arma II:OA but this error is driving me crazy, is there a way to get these files without buying Arma II and if not, can I refund arma 2:oa and buy arma ii and copy its files and refund it again and re buy arma ii:oa and paste the files there ?

Hello. I have following problem: I made mission. It should be without respawn. In Description.ext I tried respawn = 0 and even to not define respawn. The problem is that I don't want that Init.sqf executes if someone joins in progress. He should be a seagull if he joins in progress (respawn = "BIRD" not worked, init.sqf executes anyway) and Init.sqf should not be executed on his machine. Is there some way to prevent this?

Hey guys, today I tried to play King of the Hill with a new config, cause I had some problems with freezes and soundbugs when I tried the last Update on it's launch day. But today I got another (bigger) problem: I tried to join a King of the Hill server again and instantly got the message: "Connecting failed." This happend on every other server I joined too, for example: any Official servers (incl. quick search), Altis life (Vanilla), Deathmatch and King of the Hill. These things did I try to fix it/find the error: 1. PC restart (3x) 2. Router restart 3. 32- and 64-bit 4. Steam offline mode 5. Join after using the editor (editor works fine) 6. Verificate game data's (2x) 7. Deactivated Firewall and Antivirus 8. Direct connect 9. Default config (I deleted Arma3.cfg, ***.Arma3Profile, ***.vars.Arma3Profile) 10. I played DayZ (SA) to be sure there is no problem with BattlEye Every time I launched without mods! My PC: Win7 64-bit 16GB RAM AMD FX-8350 @4.00 Ghz NVIDIA MSI GTX 760 4GB SSD 128GB (Windows) HDD 2000GB (Games) ~15GB free .rpt file error I hope you can help me, Jochen

Hello my name is Hybrid and I would like to introduce you to an idea. One that i think will be a fun and interesting project. STAR WARS RP With a new mod that came out on June 10th I would like to make an rp server that spans the star wars universe with their permission of couse. Some ideas that i had for the server are: - In this server people choose their life bounty hunter, trucker, taxi driver, imperial guard, etc... with objectives to do to get paid - Jail is a scary thing in this server (especially for rebels) with a long time sentence maximum time between 5-6 hours but with ways of earning money inside prison or ways of breaking out of it. - War is a constant in Star Wars "hence the name" so rebels and imperials are always fighting KOS is not a thing in war so it will not apply These are some of my ideas and im open for any ideas or suggestions and my ideas above can and will probably change. This server needs staff so im looking for coders, modders, a map designer, admins, moderators, etc... For right now im looking for people who want to build this project because they want to volunteer with promise of staff position. Please fill out application below | V First name - Set of skills - Why are you applying (50 words at least)- What position are you looking for - Do you understand you wont be paid for your services "Volunteer" - Do you have a job in the outside world - (please don't tell me what it is) Email - If you are selected do you promise to not tell anyone about you invovement in this server - (trick question I don't care who you tell) In 400 words describe who you are, how well you work with others, and why you deserve to be on this project - If you are applying to community outreach try to sell me the server is 200 words if not leave blank- Before you start typing please change the font to 12

I'm getting really frustrated with this game. I thought the whole point of the 3d editor was to make it easier to do stuff IN THE EDITOR, and not have to fart around with scripts etc. However, I've resigned myself to having to do so, but there are few accurate and up to date tutorials around any more, and while the BIKI might be fine for developers and those who know this stuff, it's nigh on useless to me. Can someone please help with what I'd have assumed would be a simple requirement. All I want to do is the following: 1) Create a starting task for all players. 2) Complete that task when all enemy in an area are dead. 3) Create a new task and assign to all players to go to a radio tower and blow it up 4) Complete that task when the tower is dead. 5) Create a new task and assign to all players to go to an airfield and destroy two aircraft. 6) Complete that task when the two planes are dead. I don't want the tasks created in 3 and 5 to be visible until the prior tasks are completed, I don't want the players to have any indication of what is coming next. (this is one of my current problems with in-editor setup) Of course I want this to be MP safe, JIP compatible and if you could explain in words of one syllable that would be marvellous... :) Thanks.

When the Malden update comes around, does BI have any plans to add a zeus mode to it as well for use in the Official servers and our own private servers?

Next Event: Arma 3 Co-Op Event #59 (17June 2017, 0300 UTC) Not working out with your current group? Tired of being hassled for wearing the wrong backpack? Sick of walking slowly in perfect formation for 1km? Become a Refugee! Come for the tough ops... stay for the hatchback racing! Link to the Steam group is here! Come play some casual fuck-fuck games with the refugees! Join a chill and very friendly community that... has some pretty dope custom scenarios doesn't try to be realistic only plays to have fun cooperates all the way to the end No mods are needed, so it's easy to just show up and play! We do ops for people of all timezones! Check the Event page in the Steam group for exact dates and times of upcoming events. We've got more than 60 missions to choose from across a variety of mission types in each play session and a few new ones get added every week. See how well you can handle the VCOM AI! How we play Arma 3: No role white-listing No donations No ranks No job applications No attendance policies No mandatory training Mission types: Combined arms Hostage Rescue Racing (ATV/Hatchback/Airplane) Skirmish Assault Demolition VR Terrorist Hunt Escape & Evade Search & Rescue Zeus Spies vs Mercs (TvT) Mods: we have only a few recommended mods (you can find a link to the workshop collection on the steam group page), but nothing is mandatory. As we play more Arma, we find that vanilla content gives more frames and is perfectly adequate. We will from time to time, though, have a WW2-themed week or a Vietnam-themed week!

Hello everyone, I would like to know how to see in multiplayer, who speaks. Is there a mod, to make learn the pseudo of the player who speaks? Thanks

I have a co-op mission for up to 9 players and I have respawn enabled. When I start the mission in MP, everyone starts off dead unlike the AI. . . Also my script for allowing loadouts to be persistent even after dying and respawning isn't working. Any help would be appreciated and I can go further into detail about the mission if need be. Thanks

Hey guys ive had arma for a while but i never really did any research on how to use the server list, i kinda just left out all filters so i can see every server. I recently just played in a coop game mode (it only had 3 other people on blufor) and I was able to play as opfor. Im just wondering what can i do to find more specific game modes where its coop and you can also play on opfor. Most coop game modes i come across only let you play bluefor which I think is shitty. I know you can play in sandbox mode but that also has independent players and Im trying to find strictly a coop mode where its bluefor vs opfor and you can play on the enemy team as well. Thanks!

Hi, I have a MP PvP system where I display a Timer at the top left of the screen. Problem : When the mission ends, and outro is launched, Timer is not at 00:00:00 for everyone. some are 15s early, some are late etc ... all players are not synced ! Here is how it works : What it looks like ingame (Video example) : When the players exits the Weapon Menu : Null = [] execVM "timer.sqf"; Timer script be like : description.ext in my Mission, outro.sqf is activated by a trigger : Many thanks for all the help I can get ! Best regards.

Dark Passage: A Mission For The Unsung Vietnam Mod http:// http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=909417462 Coop: recommended 2-4 players (will allow 9) Requirements: ArmA 3 Unsung Vietnam War mod, CBA_A3, Apex DLC April, 1969, Song Da Krong Valley. The Night Tigers are once again on the prowl; this time they are tasked with a PBR patrol; going upriver to Ta Lieng Village where the NVA has set up operations. But villagers in the area have reported strange occurances along the river. What awaits The Tigers? Mission features: (1) Progressive resapwn points (thanks to Sergeant Dennenboom of Elite Warriors) (2) Virtual Vehicle Spawners availlable at LZ Savage (CH34 only) and Outpost Seawolf (PBR/M2 only) (3) Highly immersive soundtrack which lends itself well to the eerie movement through the waterways and jungle. (4) Numerous sound effects add to the atmosphere. (5)Full arsenal availlable to kit out with; both at Headquarters and Outpost Kable and scattered throughout the map. (Look for U.S. ammo crates in and around enemy installations and emplacements.) ( Bring LOTS of flares; you're gonna need 'em) (6) On call artillery fire support. (Accessed via the "0" (ZERO) key at the top of your keyboard. Scroll wheel options availlable after that. (7) Option to insert/remove earplugs at any point in the mission. (8) Random enemy patrol script ensures replayability. (9) And thanks to Sergeant Dennenboom, an "official" end to the mission. Mission Notes: It is VERY important to ensure before beginning that your sliders for "Effects" and "Music" are set to at least 50 percent. (Mission sounds/music based on those levels.) It is recommended to set the "Radio" slider to zero to reduce/eliminate annoying AI chatter. Read the briefing and check the map out to get a feel for what you need to do and how you want to go about it. It is suggested also to disable all AI in the slots not taken up by a human player Known Bugs: (1) "image: cluster.jpg" not found sometimes appears at mission selection screen. (I've apparently not the intellect to make this "go away".) (2) "no entry cfg weapons. NAM_M16'" (problem with the Unsung Delta mod Requirements: ArmA 3 Unsung 3.1d Vietnam War mod, CBA_A3. and the Apex Arma 3 DLC Credits: My thanks to Kronsky, Nemesis, and Grumpy Old Man, Sushi, and Tonic for their scripting genius. Without their tools, this mission would have been MUCH the lesser. And to Kegety for his PBO/De-PBO tool. And special thanks to Sergeant Dennenboom of "Elite Warriors" for sharing his knowledge and time with me. And lastly, but not leastly (is that even a word?) big thanks to the entire crew behind the "Unsung Vietnam" mod. They have rekindled my enthusiasm for Arma 3 !
