Addon/modules for creating Alternate Game Mode Help.
BeefaloBart posted a topic in ARMA 3 - ADDONS & MODS: DISCUSSION
I feel the need for having preset addons for individual portions of variables. Life based mods are becoming a popular thing and since the game doesnt currently have any of the parts needed, I would like to see something that will aid new developers to the platform to create new mods based on their preferences. Example, a Project Im wanting to work on needs the following. Hunger, Eating, Dehydration, drinking. Those are the main ones that are common in popular mods, other popular mods use a bank system and payroll. Police functions like restraining, stuns, searches, tickets, prison, and so on. Bank and gas station robbery. Jobs like fishing, and foraging for things like apples to drugs. Licenses, and permits. All sorts of different aspects of game play that are not part of the vanilla game. However not every mod needs all of the above and some may want all. For the most part someone could just copy what they see on a server online and make some tweaks, but thats a simple form of piracy. To facilitate this, I would like to see each of the basic functions like "Cop Mod" or Food, water, banking, paychecks, and so forth as seperate addons or modules or just mod folders that can be added simply to a map. I am new to scripting for this game, and dont have the time I would like to spend learning the ins and outs of scripting. I would just like to drag and drop folders in, then link them thru an init file to get them active. Im sure others would like this as well. I try searching for scripts, and end up finding a ton of information on cheats, which I do not want to even see cheats much less use them. I have even posted looking for someone willing to help create a program that would build an init file based on the examples above, and then copy the files needed into a new mod folder. This would be awesome. I am starting on this project now, but most of what Im doing is learning and relearning to do visual basic to create a GUI that will let me insert premade scripts into and able to save a SQF file thats able to be seen in the mod. -

Make Arma Not War - Rules Update
Korneel posted a topic in Arma 3 - MAKE ARMA NOT WAR CONTEST - NEWS
Based on public feedback, we made two small but important changes to the Make Arma Not War contest rules: We rephrased the "Registration" section to make it clear that Bohemia Interactive does not intend to publish or adapt the contest entries (it will always remain the IP of their respective author). We're now also allowing contestants to benefit from the unique functionalities of the Community Based Addons (CBA). However, note that CBA is still the ONLY third-party addon which is allowed. The updated rules can be found here. -
Hi everyone, I'm working on Scar-H, will follow the Scar-L and the other member of the family. https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/960x540q90/7/198i.png (208 kB) But I have a problem in texturing; I'm using Blender to unwarp and a place the texture then import it (.obj) in Oxygen, no problem for the moment. But when I try it in Arma III, I have a error message :" Can't load the texture " So I do something wrong ( "you don't say ..." ) but what ? This is how I proceed : _Apply texture in blender with a PNG or JPEG image _Export the textured weapon in.Obj _Convert the Jpeg or PNG in a .paa format with the same name and put it in the data file of wepaon. _use Oxygen _use binPBO personal edition Could you please tell me what am I wrong ? PS: This isn't a import from ARMA II in ARMA III. 2 or 3 mods offer already a scar but i'm trying tho have the most accurate representation of the FN SCAR(belgium).

Although the formations available are helpful, I would like to have the ability to set, and have a squad move in, a formation of my own design. Instead of being restricted to the formations that are recognized already, I could set the individuals into any configuration I want.

Korneel posted a topic in Arma 3 - MAKE ARMA NOT WAR CONTEST - NEWS
- Bohemia Interactive, creators of the critically acclaimed Arma series and the standalone version of DAYZ, today announce the €500,000 Make Arma Not War content creation contest for Arma 3. With cash prizes ranging from €20,000 to €200,000, spread across four different categories, Bohemia Interactive challenges people to deliver their best work yet - and potentially move onto the radar of hundreds of thousands of Arma 3 players. Using the game as their platform, people can compete in four different categories: Total Modification, Singleplayer Game Mode, Multiplayer Game Mode, and Addon. The headline prize will be awarded to the winner of the Total Modification category, where the sole victor will be taking home €200,000. In the other categories, prize money is divided between 1st place (€50,000), 2nd place (€30,000), and 3rd place (€20,000). Projects which show a lot of potential might also be offered a contract by Bohemia Interactive, whether they have won the contest or not. “We’re delighted to be running a contest of such an incredible scope. The Make Arma Not War contest was brought to life to support our dedicated community of content creators, and stimulate the exciting culture of creativity that has formed over the yearsâ€, said Ivan Buchta, Creative Director at Bohemia Interactive, and one of the contest organizers. “Of course, with the stakes being this high, we’re expecting people to raise the bar – and we hope Arma 3 players will be there with us, to boost morale, and enjoy the fruits of the contestants’ hard labor.†In addition to the €500,000 in cash prizes, Bohemia Interactive is also proud to announce a unique collaboration with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), who will be handing out the Health Care in Danger Special Award. Given to the entry which covers the topic of ‘health care in danger’ the best, the winner(s) will go on a one-week trip to an ICRC mission in a foreign country, organized by the ICRC. While the application period is scheduled to open in 2014, people are already welcome to start working on their project. The closing date for submissions is October 28, 2014, after which a jury of Bohemia Interactive representatives and other industry professionals will begin to evaluate the finalists in each category (10 in the Total Modification/Multiplayer Game Mode/Addon categories, 20 in the Singleplayer Game Mode category). The winners will be announced on January 15, 2015. More details, including how people can cast their vote and support their favorite projects, are to be announced at a later date. “With the launch of the first Arma game in 2001, we’ve laid the foundation for our series’ long-standing history in user-content and modifications. It has led us to enjoy many amazing creations, among which is the popular DAYZ modâ€, said Bohemia Interactive’s CEO Marek Spanel. “Support for mod-making has always been a priority, and with Arma 3, our goal is to take it to the next level. The Make Arma Not War contest, as well as Arma 3’s integration of the Steam Workshop, the updated EULAs, and our refreshed Arma 3 tool suite, is all part of this effort. We can’t wait to see what comes from it!†The rules for the contest, which also includes information on dates, prizes, and categories, can be found on www.makearmanotwar.com. The Make Arma Not War website will be updated regularly, starting with additional instructions on how to apply in the beginning of next year. Last but not least, to stay up to date with the latest developments, people can sign up for the Make Arma Not War newsletter. Important announcements regarding the contest will also be communicated via the official Arma 3 social channels (Facebook, Twitter). -
tool request: official rgb tool or rgb plugin for notepad++
fabio_chavez posted a topic in ARMA 3 - BI TOOLS - GENERAL
we need a tool or commands to adjust rgb values in configs in realtime ingame! i dont know how much work it would take to make it but until there might be official tools, if someone is able to create an notepad++ (or similar editor) plugin hat has 1. a direct preview function for rgb values and 2. can convert decimal to 255/255 rgb values automaticlly. just my humble and desperate request but i think this would also be a very handy tool for every mapmaker to easily addapt the island lighting to the specific geographical characteristics of the custom terrain. maybe this would be helpfull as well http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=10776 -

How to make late joining players spawn somewhere else?
CodeMonkee posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Hey all! I'm normally pretty savvy with the editor, however I'm running into a little bit of an issue with my current mission. I'm starting the mission with a helicopter insertion, so the players at the start of the mission spawn inside a helicopter, and are taken to the drop point. At the drop point, the swimmers are ejected, and the helicopter flies away, to be destructed off screen. However this is posing a problem with spawns for me. I want only the players that start this mission on time to spawn in the helicopter, and ones later to spawn on a beachhead by the drop zone, because the original spawn heli will not be present after the start. Does anyone have suggestions for how to do this? I tried to make a trigger switch spawn zones after the helicopter reaches a certain area, but that didn't work, probably because I was moving them into the helicopter in their init lines... So consider me stumped, for the moment. How do I make late players spawn on a beach rather than trying to spawn into a helicopter?? :confused: Many thanks, CodeMonkee -
AI vehicles respawned with Kronzky vehicle UPS/respawn script not inheriting names?
rory_pamphilon posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Hi, Iv made a dogfighting mission on Altis where AI jets respawn after being downed on markers using Kronzky UPS vehicle respawn script. I also have moving map markers for enemy jets and a hint that comes up when you kill an AI saying the name of the AI enemy jet killed. The issue I'm having is that when the jets respawn they don't inherit the name of the AI jet that died so the map markers don't work and the hints don't work once onto the second batch of jets. Any ideas how to resolve this? Thanks -
Well, since we have a plane class now, I wanted to make something cool. I found a very nice free model of a Pilatus PC-21 in the web and thought that this would be an extremly cool plane to have. So I gave it a try and started working a bit in Blender. Parted cockpit frame and glass, and merged some groups into bigger groups. I am planning to do this aircraft propperly, so it will take a while until you guys can play with this bird. Cheers.

Hi everyone, Jay and myself, with the support of our team, have written a blog about the campaign news that broke earlier this week. This was supposed to happen before it was reported anywhere else. Unfortunately a communications mishap between us and our friends at PC Games, led to it being revealed via their website first. We regret it happened in this way, rather than via a direct message from us. We hope the blog answers some of the questions you have. Survive / Adapt / Win

The smoke grenades are so ineffective. They should spread more smoke, which is also more 'leakproof'/heavy and more sustained. Take a look on smoke grenades on internet or in the BF 2 Mod 'Project Reality'. The smoke grenades must be tweaked.

playersNumber for self balancing mission
JPreston posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Couple of questions for the experts today. I've got a co-op mission that works perfectly if I set the number of respawns (I've got a basic respawn limiter) and the number of enemies. I have however, been trying to get the mission to auto-balance itself. So if more players join, more enemies are spawned and the respawn limit is upped. Initially I tried using: players = playersNumber west; publicvariable "players"; But as I'm sure you know that returns the number of playable AI, so the respawn limit always get set as if there are 10 players. Is there any work around for this as it is doing my head in! Also I was trying to use the "Condition of presence: players >=5;" field to spawn more AI when there are more players. I cannot get them to spawn, anyone got any ideas? Thanks in advance. J -
Taken from this post by Warmbrak: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?155675-Game-Update-0-58-Movement-mode-resets-between-crosshair-amp-iron-sights This thread was closed because the issue is apparently resolved in the feedbacktracker. It has also been confirmed a week ago on the forums that this would be fixed in the next dev update, but after a week the bug is still not fixed on the devbranch.

Hi, tracker yesterday (sorry, MadDogX, brain wasn't on), I hope it is ok to post this in here. after I half-sleepingly wrongly posted this to the feedback My thoughts on how to improve the overall driving experience in ArmA III. Feel free to comment, review or to add your own thoughts. I will insert them, provided I remember to look here. :D Most thoughts refer to on-road driving with cars. Some could be/are duplicates. Improve sound. Sound specifically needs some work on those sections: Sound of quad at top speed is buggy: Constantly repeating accelerate noise. Braking sound is really bad and also quite general. (I actually think I have already heard the sound somewhere) The braking sound also occurs in certain cases when "drifting" at high speeds on the road. This sounds very strange. Add unterground-dependent sound. (asphalt, concrete, gravel, (rain), etc) Engine sound should have some random noise. (misfire etc) Currently it's always the same sound. Improve general handling and driving athmosphere. Driving over a bush does makes it "fall" (don't know the right word), but does not cause any damage. Because of that, you often don't even try to avoid them because you know they don't mean anything. Making them cause a scratching noise (causing the driver to notice it and think "oh shit, I have damaged the car") and some damage will do the job. Signs are too small, not really frequent and/or complete and too late and too difficult to read when driving fast. All this makes driving without looking at the map all the time or having a copilot. My suggestion: At crossings (or T-junctions), optionally have one early sign indicating that a crossing is coming and then signs for all possible ways. Generally, make the font size bigger. Fonts of real signs aren't that thin. Properly implement handbrake: A vehicle standing on a slope will roll if handbrake is not applied. Upon activation, handbrake stays activated. Upon deactivation, handbrake stays deactivated. Add wipers (Hugely improves atmosphere if graphics are done right) Some aquaplaning. (Really unimportant) Driving offroad should make the screen shake, create dust etc When driving slow-medium speed (e.g. 20 km/h), the engine makes a "accelerate" noise and the speed is almost constant, even driving on a gravel road. Add more friction and play the "roll out" noise, not the "accelerate" noise! It is not possible to brake without starting the engine, i.e. if you roll (w/o engine) and press S then the engine starts. Improve graphics. (Some details, most of it looks fine) Make streets more plastic. (especially gravel roads) Add some random noise to the roads. Hoping I've done it right Scogol PS: Indentation is a bit broken.
