Hi, i found the F18 Super Hornet mod and i have created a mission with the eden editor with both versions of the fighter, the E and F version, the F version as you probably know is "tandem-seat". So i have the empty fighter, a Munition HEMTT vehicle and two pilots, one of them the player, there is a village in which there are several OPFOR units and i have set some waypoints for the plane. It works like this -First i get in the fighter as the pilot so i can use the Service menu and select which equipment i am going to use -Then after the fighter is rearmed, then i get in the gunner seat and tell the AI pilot to get in. -I have used a trigger linked to the AI and the first waypoint, so when he gets in, it goes to the first one and then the fighter takes off perfectly. The problem is, although i have set limited speed in several waypoints the plane goes too fast so i can bomb the objetives, and also it flies at 300M height, so the fighter gets hit, and also, it is not stable at all. I have tried with the flyInHeight script, but the speed is still too high and not stable. Does anyone know how to make it fly slower, higher and more stable? And also i would like to know how to make it land when it returns to the airport. Thanks and sorry for my poor english.

how to play arma 3 imperial assault mod? I clicked subscribed on imperial assault mod page, but don't know what to do after that.

Hey guys, i think i m doin a little mistake in my addon creation. The addon i try to create is called inidb. I know that there is a downloadable release but its library (inidb.dll) is for windows only. I downloaded the library linux sources from git hub (https://github.com/newtondev/inidb-linux) and compiled them to the needed inidb.so file for my virtual linux server. The unpacked addon is part of that download and consists of a config.cpp file and a init.sqf. config.cpp: class CfgPatches { class iniDBI { units[] = {}; weapons[] = {}; requiredVersion = 0.1; requiredAddons[] = {}; init = "call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers '\inidb\init.sqf'"; }; }; Those 2 files are the content of the folder inidb which i packed with cpbo to inidb.pbo My folder structure at server is as described at git hub: @inidb (folder) db (folder) inidb.so (file) addons (folder) inidb.pbo (file) Im starting my server with the option: -mod=@inidb Generaly my dedicated linux server is able to handle mods. I have other mods (not self created) which are running fine. In my mission which should use the addon i ve the following init.sqf file: init.sqf if(isServer) then { call compile preProcessFile "\inidb\init.sqf"; }; The log file at server produces the following line: Warning Message: Script inidb\init.sqf not found I think there are 2 things which could cause this message and i need your help to get a clue whats goin wrong. It could be that i did a mistake with the path to the addons init.sqf file. The other thing could be that the addon is not loaded by the server for some reason, but i dont know. I googled that problem fo a week and i tried other pathes as described above and i tried to autostart the script by setting up a module in config.cpp and in my mission. But nothing helped, i cant get it working. Edit: Ok, 24 hours r gone since i posted this, 50 views and no little answer. I think i m doin something wrong with that thread. For that reason i try to simplify it to some questions: How defines an addon the path to its scripts? Is it defined by the folder which was packed with cpbo? What does that $PREFIX$ file do i read about? Do i need those file in my case and which content would be correct? The script file in the addons pbo-file should be called from a script in my mission with call compile preProcessFile "\inidb\init.sqf"; what is to do that this works? Are there any reasons which could cause a server to not load an addon? Guys ur help would be very appreciated cause i m stuck with the creation of my mission and cant do a little step forward until the problem with that addon is solved. ********************************************************** code container for WIP: if (!isServer) exitWith {true}; /* Author: Sarogahtyp Title: SSSS - Sarogahtyps Simple Server Statistics Description: Arguments: number - refresh time in seconds Return value: boolean - true if script has been finished */ _admin_check = []; _admin_obj = objNull; while {true} do { // wait for a logged in admin waitUntil { sleep (20 + random 20); _admin_check = (allPlayers - entities "HeadlessClient_F") select {(admin owner _x) != 0}; (count _admin_check > 0) }; _admin_obj = admin_check select 0; //throw infos as long as admin is logged in while {(admin owner _admin_obj) != 0} do { // collect server infos _s_fps = str diag_fps; // frames per second _s_just_players = allPlayers - entities "HeadlessClient_F"; // all player objects _s_plyr_num = count _just_players; // number of players _s_just_HCs = entities "HeadlessClient_F"; // all HC objects _s_HC_num = count _just_HCs; // number of headless clients _s_a_grp_num = {local (leader _x) and alive (leader _x)} count allGroups; // all groups where alive units in _s_e_grp_num = { (count units _x) == 0 } count allGroups; // empty groups _s_d_grp_num = { ({!alive _x}count units _x) > 0 }count allGroups; //groups where only deads in _s_unit_num = {local _x} count allUnits; // living units _s_vec_num = {local _x} count (vehicles - entities "WeaponHolderSimulated"); // living vecs _s_wh_num = {local _x} count (entities "WeaponHolderSimulated") //weapons on ground _s_al_ent_num = {local _x} count entities [[], [], true, true]; // alive entities _s_de_ent_num = {local _x} count entities [[], ["Logic"], true]; //dead entities except logic //collect HC infos //request not available info from HCs remotely if (_s_HC_num >0) then { for "_i" from 0 to (_s_HC_num - 1) do { _str = format ["Saro_HC_report_%1", _i]; missionNamespace setVariable [_str, []]; [_str] remoteExecCall ["Saro_fnc_report_stats_to_server", (_s_just_HCs select _i)]; }; //wait until all HCs responded with desired info waitUntil { sleep (0.1 + random 0.1); _sum = 0; for "_i" from 0 to (_s_HC_num - 1) do { _str = format ["Saro_HC_report_%1", _i]; if (count (missionNamespace getVariable _str) > 0) then { _sum = _sum + 1; }; (_sum == _s_HC_num) }; }; }; sleep (15 + random 15); }; // info while end }; // endless while (end) /* Author: Sarogahtyp Title: SSSS - Sarogahtyps Simple Server Statistics Function Name: Saro_fnc_report_stats_to_server; Description: function used via remote execution by server to recieve some statistical infos Arguments: String - name of global variable which should returned to server by publicVariableServer Return value: true */ params ["_ret_string"]; _tmp_info_array = []; _tmp_info_array pushBack diag_fps; missionNamespace setVariable [_ret_string, _tmp_info_array]; publicVariableServer _ret_string;

Hi, everyone, We need a good skilled arma 3 scripter developer ! To finish a multiplayer mission for arma 3 ! The work is almost finished, but not everything is working like it should be ! As there is no mod like this to get inspiration or to simply use others mission framework We need to finish this by ourselves ! but that its not possible since we are not good dev's ! The dev should know how to use arma 3 scripting methods, manage msql databases (extdb2), create own functions, and know how to use arma 3 tools and 3rd party software ! We will pay for the job ! Dev should be free for the job immediately today or tonight ! thanks for contacting me in private for more info ad me as friend on the forum, or on steam look for "DoomneT"

Hey There, I've just started making my first weapon mod for arma 3 and while I feel I've got most of it figured out, I'm nearing the completion of the high poly model and I just wanted to know what are the polycounts for vanilla arma 3 weapon LODs just to make sure my stuff runs smoothly. I tried to find some examples, but all I dug up was arma 2 stuff, and I'm not interested in those. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers

Hi, everyone. This is my first time making addon for arma3. And right now I have made a HK416 assault rifle. Not perfect work as you guys can see....but I do need help with the reload problem. :( Here is the short vedio: https://youtu.be/zQIUBNguqGE As you can see when the mag was took out and there was no problem with that.

Hi there im new around here but i think this is a great opportunity for a map creator. Were a new team creating a mod , we hope to be the next big mod in arma 3 we have no desire for this mod to be any sort of RP mod as we believe there are enough of those out there already (no disrespect to those who have made RP mods its just not our style) Were a good situated team we all get along and have a real passion for this idea, so far our in our team we have : designers, scripters and people who are great with server hosting. We are looking for a map creator /builder , the person needed should be experienced with terrain and building a map from scratch. Contact us if you're interested Steam ID: WaveyTots DonDamage

Hey everyone! Before anything else, I'm going to say that I wasn't sure where I should post this, here or the Zeus-Editing Sub-forum, but both seem to match what we were looking for. Me and 2 other guys have started working on an Age Of Empires-Styled RTS gamemode, it will/should include features such as constructing almost any building in the game, both civilian and military buildings. Civilians that you can spawn to gather resources that you can spend on buildings and units, and so on. We need a few guys to come help us out. We are pretty experienced with the editor, we have made large scenarios such as: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?185375-COOP-The-Dark-Ones-Open-World-RolePlay-Quests-Monsters-And-Creatures-And-More/ AND THIS: https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/181576-spcampaignrhs-the-east-wind-rhs-remake/ AND THIS: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=180420482&searchtext= So if you guys are interested on helping us out with this, add me on Steam.

Hi there, with the upcoming Steam Workshop for mods, we will change how files are stored on Workshop, allowing more files to be uploaded for both new and old items. This means that a single addon (file) item now published on the Workshop will be able to become a mod (more files), and go back to a single file addon again, depending solely on its author, as it should be. This also means the addon tag will effectively become irrelevant, because there will be no difference between addons and mods. Therefore we want to get rid of addon tag and use only tag mod as a general notification for non-mission user content. We believe this is more clear and more useful to the players. What should you do? In short: nothing. Ideally, we don't want you to notice. :) The expected functionality should remain unchanged for all users. I am posting this mostly for the sake of transparency. What will we do? Update all existing Workshop files tagged with addon to also include tag mod . Update Publisher to auto-include tag mod . Update Launcher to display mods in Mod list (addon list will be renamed to mod list). Implement the new SteamWorks SDK that allow multiple files per published item. Publish versions with the new SDK to Stable branch. When everything is working, remove addon tag from all mod files and delete it from Steam back-end. Note (5.): Don't expect this change before version 1.38.

Hello everyone! In support of last week’s Workbench update, today we launched a series of mod-making video tutorials for Take On™ Mars. Titled ‘Mars Mod-Maker's Manual (M4)’, the video series aims to help people get started with creating additional or new content for Take On Mars, using the game’s Workbench editing suite. The first chapter - Data Structure & Modifications – kicks off with an explanation of where Take On Mars looks for its data, and how it can be modified. The fact that Take On Mars itself started as a mod for Carrier Command: Gaea Mission explains a lot about the dedication of this team to modding and user content creation. While we’re still adding new content to the game ourselves, with a really cool announcement coming up next week, we’re looking forward to see how other people experiment with the tools used to develop Take On Mars. The Mars Mod-Maker's Manual (M4) should form an excellent starting point. More chapters in the ‘Mars Mod-Making Manual’ series will be released over the course of the next few months – starting with the second chapter about addons, mods and total conversions. Kind and sincere regards from the Dev team, Martin Melicharek (Project Lead)

This i gonna sound weird....but i was wondering if its even possible to do this...i've been trying...believe me. I'll simplify my code, cause its huge...but basically the algorithm is like this: my fetchFnc.sqf has (gets included) : fetch_data = { _name= _this select 0; _fncName= _this select 1; .....blah blah blah based on _name, and then.... _number= 10; [_name, _number] spawn _fncName; }; I got this in my init.sqf: #include "fetchFnc.sqf"; private ["_name","_number"]; my_function = { _name= _this select 0; _number= _this select 1; }; 0 = [ "George", my_function ] spawn fetch_data; [b]diag_log format [ "After calculations: %1 has %2", _name, _number];[/b] How can i update on my main init.sqf the values for _name and _number to be show in the diag_log ? Cause right now as you can guess it doesnt get the values. I need to get the values outside of the function...I tried making them global variables....still no luck. ps: Cant do "call fetch_data" cause inside there are waituntil functions. I dont mind the script to fail...for example something went wrong and there is no data for _name George...so i send out an error. I can handle that after in my main code. So if _name == "error" then do..... -Thanks

Hi guys, We’re happy to see modding and user content up to a massively rapid start. We were blown away by the amount of user missions up within hours of release, and enjoyed playing with some of you on public servers! :cool: We do want to add some clarity to the concept of forward-porting Arma 1 / 2 content into Arma 3, so here are some guidelines to keep in mind: In general, you cannot simply redistribute data we shipped with previous games. The only data that is governed by special licenses are the sample packages. There are other, and accepted, ways of merging Arma 1 / 2 content into Arma 3. This is handled by releasing new add-ons that merge the content people already own via configuration files. We are working on an officially supported approach for later (similar to TKOH's Rearmed). We urge you to treat each other's work with respect. Please ask for permission before you take someone's mod and port it. Thank you for understanding. We look forward to all the awesome creations you are producing, and have several supporting packages being published as we speak!

Hi guys, We’re happy to see modding and user content up to a massively rapid start. We were blown away by the amount of user missions up within hours of release, and enjoyed playing with some of you on public servers! :cool: We do want to add some clarity to the concept of forward-porting Arma 1 / 2 content into Arma 3, so here are some guidelines to keep in mind: In general, you cannot simply redistribute data we shipped with previous games. The only data that is governed by special licenses are the sample packages. There are other, and accepted, ways of merging Arma 1 / 2 content into Arma 3. This is handled by releasing new add-ons that merge the content people already own via configuration files. We are working on an officially supported approach for later (similar to TKOH's Rearmed).

Hi all I've just bought TOH, also a Saitek X52 controller (non-Pro) I seem to be having probs getting the setup correct, using rudder at zero speed makes the heli accelerate? that shouldn't happen. I wondered if any of the pilots here are using an X52, and managed to get it to perform with some sort of accuracy? Or, is there a setup file I can download that would work with TOH? Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks Steve

Bohemia, hire this guy Brad and get his texture technology implemented as soon as humanly possible. -Love Kridian :D

Hi everyone and all of you creative members of our community in particular. We have promised we will support our community as much as possible and here comes another service we want to offer to you. From January 2010 we plan to introduce a new section at www.arma2.com called Guerrilla / Community. This page will be dedicated to the entire community content created for ARMA or ARMA 2, as we feel it deserves more public attention. What we offer is the possibility to participate in the content published at this website. It's the opportunity for you to present your work to a much wider public and newly recruited players too! Content This kind of content is expected to be published at the Community Page: User made MOD / Addon / Tool announcement User made SP / MP Mission / Campaign announcement New website announcement Weekly reports from ARMA2 news sites Important community events Useful web links First Steps If you are interested in such collaboration on the official ARMA 2 website, just follow these steps to become a contributor: Go to this contact page at the ARMA 2 website and complete the form with these details:Your real name, city, country where you live. Your nickname used at the Bohemia Interactive forums. What community group / MOD / website you represent. What kind of content you want to contribute. Which language(s) you speak (English is required as minimum) [*]Please note that all details are mandatory and without them the request will be deleted. [*]Once you send the form, just wait until it's processed in Bohemia Interactive, which might take up to several days as every single request will be handled manually. [*]Once the request is approved you will obtain an email with your newly created user account at www.arma2.com to be able to log in and post the article or web link you want to publish. Rules There are several rules for all contributors which must be followed at all times: Only true and confirmed information directly related to ARMA / ARMA 2 user made content or activity is required. No spam, slander, lies, mystification and so. Clear, brief article. No double posts or unbearably long stories. Announcements, releases or major updates only, no WIP reports or minor updates. Weekly news reports up to date, no releases older than one week in the summary. Proper and spell-checked language. No irregular/slang words or any explicit content. One image per post. (Except news sites weekly reports). Every image must be hosted on your own website or on free public image hosting (ImageShack and so). All content should have the permissions of their respective creators, if there is any doubt that content permissions have not been sought you must not submit it to the website. Any content found to have been created without the prior permission of those who created any part of it, whether that be script, texture, model, sound, etc. will be removed from the website immediately and it is unlikely the person claiming this content as their own work will have any further content published on this community site. There will be no warning / infraction. Any violation of these rules will have serious consequences such as both arma2.com and official forums account ban. As the venture progresses it is of course likely that further rules/clarifications will be required, which you will receive notification of. Operation After submission, every single article will require approval and publication by official administrator / moderator. The user created article might be deleted without explanation if considered improper by administrator / moderator. Nobody should expect it 100% certain that their submission will be published. Authors who prove themselves reliable and trustworthy may obtain higher user status to be able to post and publish their submissions immediately and they may become moderators in the future. We will also appreciate any non-English submissions. However, the mandatory is to provide correct translation to English. The list of languages available follows: English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Polish, Hungarian, Czech, Russian Future This service is not meant to be a competitor to established community websites, this service should hopefully complement the incredible work that the numerous news sites have performed for many years, nor do we plan to host files or images of user made stuff at Arma2.com for now. We hope this concept may prove itself viable and useful so we could introduce even more at www.arma2.com in the future. Please, don't hesitate to contact us! We look forward to hearing your feedback / suggestions at www.arma2.com.
