Steam is trying to download something from ArmA 3 - Workshop Content, but the file size reads 0 bytes and it flashes on/off really fast. I have to hit the pause button to get it to stop. It all started when I unsubscribed to a VSM mod. I have subscribed to said VSM mod, I have cleared my cache, I have unsubscribed to all mods and subscribed to them again. I've verified game files, and so far nothing has worked. I've googled the issue, read forums, and tried the fixes that I've read about. I don't have McAffee AV so that is not the issue. Anyone know what is going on and what the fix might be?

Sil's Simple Random Weather Script "A very simple approach to generating random weather patterns in Arma 3." by Sil Carmikas Version: 1.0 Final setRandomWeather.sqf Description: This is a bit of a mashup using manage_weather.sqf files from the original Liberation 0.924 mission from [GREUH]zBug and [GREUH]McKeewa. The below code will execute within the mission to add random weather pattern generation making use of the newer selectRandom command (Arma 3 Version: 1.56) This does not offer parameter selection for servers, the only customization that can be done is within the SQF file. This is a very basic script I am working with to learn scripting for Arma 3. Anyone is welcome to use this as they see fit. Instructions: Instructions: 1) Place anywhere you see fit, preferably in the root directory of your mission. 2) In your init.sqf, make sure to type in the following: [] spawn compileFinal proprocessFileLineNumbers "setRandomWeather.sqf"; 3) Save your init.sqf, load Arma 3, load the mission and test using setTimeMultiplier. You can decrease the "sleep 900;" command to observe the random changes more frequently for debugging and testing. Download: https://www.mediafire.com/?8mapw7zpwiwspc5 Here is the code below: if (!isServer) exitWith {}; _setRandom = [0,0.1,0.15,0.2,0.25,0.3,0.35,0.4,0.45,0.5,0.55,0.6,0.65,0.7,0.75,0.8,0.85,0.9,0.95,1.0]; // Initial Weather skipTime -24; 0 setOvercast selectRandom _setRandom; // Initial Weather Set Values: 0 = Sunny, clear skies 1 = Stormy, complete overcast skipTime 24; sleep 0.1; // Keep this at or above 0.1, or else simulWeatherSync command will not work properly. simulWeatherSync; // This command will sync the selected weather pattern to appear as it should right away instead of having to wait. // Random Weather while { true } do { 300 setOvercast selectRandom _setRandom; // selectRandom is the new engine solution to BIS_fnc_selectRandom. This will select a random weather pattern from the array in variable _setRandom. Values: 0 = Sunny, clear skies 1 = Stormy, complete overcast. sleep 0.1; }; sleep 900; // Rests for 15 minutes real-life time before selecting new weather pattern. For 24 hour day cycles (1 in-game second = 1 real life second) or whichever you prefer, you will want to update this to make sure weather shifts as appropriate. Changelog: v. 1.0 Final: -Made a variable for the values for the Initial Weather and Random Weather sections = _setRandom -Made both setRain and setFog options available now. Refer to the setRandomWeather.sqf file for instructions on how to add for FPS control. v. 0.3 Beta: -Made setRain entries optional. The script will now automatically select the appropriate rain amounts without any restriction. If you want the restriction still for FPS purposes, then use the "If Then" statements provided in the script comments within the SQF file itself. -Added more options to the setOvercast arrays. This gives an increased range of options for selectRandom to be able to use. v. 0.2 Beta: -Removed setFog entry from Initial Weather section -Changed setFog settings in Random Weather to the following ----> 0 setFog [0, 0, 0]. This update ensures that the fog level is zeroed out, it's intent being to help with FPS issues. -Added selectRandom command to Initial Weather settings to make a more randomized starting weather pattern. Please feel free to do with it as you wish and how you see fit. Tweak it, mod it, break it, anything. I am open to constructive feedback. If there is a better way to do this, please share. I'd like to get as much info available out there for others learning to script as well too for this same type of thing.

Does anyone have a wishlist for the upcoming DLC? Personally I would love to see the return on the F-35, maybe the B VTOL variant but with an internally mounted cannon. In fact, it would be really cool if they brought in a static carrier too, something in the lines of HMS Queen Elizabeth for NATO, and an alternative variant for CSAT. OR, another alternative for CSAT? For ADF I would say the Eurofighter Typhoon but Greece were never involved in the project. Maybe an altered F-16? Here's my take on where, I hope, BI are getting their ideas and influences: They might even decide to blend designs, like a combined F22/F35B or PAK FA/J20. Who knows...

Hello everyone so I've had problems with my game crashing and discovered that a single mission in my arma 3 documents is causing it. I suppose that there is something wrong with the mission sqm since I made a mission, and just pasted the SQM in that mission and yet again it crashed my game. Can someone take a look at the sqm file and tell me if there is anything wrong with it? Dropbox link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/58ydeb3pri9960p/mission.sqm?dl=0 The mission requires: CUP Terrains RHS AFRF RHS USF RHS SERB RHS GREF Project OPFOR

Hello everyone! Sooooo, I have a giant problem that will make me loose the Armachinima Contest. Whenever I launch arma 3, and go to the editor, as soon as I press the "Open" button on the top left to open a scenario, in this case a scene my game crashes. Arma 3 for me has never done this before and only started doing it on Tuesday of last week. Since then I have verified the integridy of game cache and reinstalled the games couple of times. I also formatted my PC and even after the format everytime I launch the editor and press "Open" and instead of seeing a dialog to select a scenario to load I just see my desktop with a crash report. I also tried recreating some of the scenes but when I would save the scenario for the first time, again instead of seeing a dialog to name the scenario and save, it just shuts down back to my desktop with a crash report. The specs of my current pc are: i5 4690k 3.50GHz 8 GB RAM AMD Radeon R9 200 Series Z97X-Gaming 3 And before anyone asks YES I did launch arma 3 and tried it without mods but still crashes. Screenshots: Crash Report (Vanilla) Crash Report (WITH RHS & PROJET OPFOR RUNNING):

Hello, so there is this big 3 FPS issue. All my Friends arround the World got this Problem since the last big "Update". In one of the Posts on this Hub a Developer gave some Solutions, nothing worked out for me, also he said that a "few" of us got this Problem which is not true. In my opinion most of the gamers or at least half of all gamers got some hugh problems with the Game since the 1.66 Update. Is there any Information what the Dev is doing or how the progress on this Problem is? The Newest Problem i got is that the Game is crashing and the "Arma3.exe" is still running on constant Ram in my Taskmanager, when this happens i get no Bugreport or anything that i can send towards Bohemia.

It was 2017, and the objects in the Zeus never returned. I'm with my friends loved to spend time in this game mode, placing a many of objects in real time, after starting the battle. Bohemia, maybe finally released the update and return the objects (props) in Zeus Mode?

Slovak Armed Forces by Reluk So after a long time of working on this i want to release some screenshots of my work :) Hope you like it ! The mod will be just retexture of some default arma gear and CUP vehicles but i have one completly new vehicle and few others in plan so we will see.

Something that has been pissing me off since the launch of Apex is the ghillie suits. Nothing wrong with how they look, quite the contrary the look amazing but because I suppose they are the ghillie suit from the marksmen dlc but retextured people that own Apex but not the markmsen dlc get this little premium icon at the bottom right: I don't think it should be like that since this is the ghillie suit from Apex and since I own apex I shouldn't be getting such crap on my screen every now and then. It's even worse when you try to do a cinematic for the armachinima awards contest since you can't record anything in first person due to that shit. Bohemia please fix? :(

Currently working on some UN vehicles that will hopefully be released soon. This is the current state of the hummingbird / pawnee. More assets being added, working on more. Any feedback is appreciated! ~Trinket.

3rd Marine Division Fox Company, 2nd Battalion Marine Raider Team 8316 1st Marine Aircraft Wing 724th Special Tactics Group Hello, and before you read this post I wanted to thank you personally for taking the time to check us out. It will be a bit long, but it will include all the information required to both understand what the unit is about and also how to enlist or get in contact should you be interested. If you have any questions, please feel free to use the resources we provide at the bottom of the post to get into contact. What is the 3rd Marine Division? The 3rd Marine Division, or 3rd MD, is a military simulation unit looking to redefine the standard of military simulation, by providing a drama free, mature, and professional environment where you are a person, not a number, and can have as equal a chance as any to succeed. This group was founded on those principles, and has taken them to heart. Under those principles, we intend to allow our unit to thrive inside the milsim community, and constantly take consideration to the opinions of our player base to further improve the experience we provide. Outside of how we operate, the 3rd Marine Division is the culmination of numerous different assets within the United States Military. We consist of a regular infantry element (2nd Bat, 3rd MD), a MARSOC element (MRT 8316), an aviation element (1st MAW), and a Para-rescue element (724th STG). All these elements operate either together or separately to complete a wide variety of different objectives within our operations, with care being taken to try and diversify the scope of the missions our unit partakes in. What We Do As stated prior, the 3rd MD strives to maintain a mature, professional, and more importantly realistic environment. Considering this, training and operations are held to a high standard, and are done on a fairly regular basis. While we don't have daily operations, we do have a public liberation server which we will play on during the week for the purpose of practice but also enjoyment. Furthermore, we have our private training and operations server, operations being Saturdays at 1800 Eastern Standard Time. Training schedules depend entirely on the unit in which you enlist. These trainings and operations are all of course not only to provide enjoyment, but are also intended to breed the skills required by our members for success. Furthermore, in keeping with our standard, we partake in missions that the real US Military would partake in, these operations include activities such as… Counter Terrorism Large Scale Conventional Warfare Helicopter Based Assaults Defensive Operations Direct Action Hostage Rescue and many more activities that are not needing to be listed Training and Requirements We will begin with requirements, as the rest is not applicable to you if you do not meet these. Must be 15+ (17+ for the MARSOC element) Must be mature and have a professional attitude Must be willing to follow the chain of command Must own a legal copy of ArmA 3 Must be willing to dedicate time towards the unit, as it shall to you Must be able to make at least one unit event a week unless excused Must complete the training process in the required time frame Must maintain respect for yourself and others at all times If you meet these requirements, then read the following. It describes our training process... Training depends entirely on the unit in which you are assigned. Therefore, the length can vary. It will generally be no longer than a month unless you choose to enlist in our MARSOC element. The MARSOC element strives to create a lengthy process, generally lasting a month and a half, to ensure all members are dedicated to the unit. How Do I Join? Joining is a very simple process; it can be done by finding a recruiter, who can be found on our teamspeak at tfv.teamspeak3.com If that IP doesn't work, try 216.127.64.146:7087 or come to our website and make an account at https://2ndbattalion3rdmarines.wordpress.com/ Thank you for reading this post.

Story A few weeks ago a buddy asked me to write a script for a helicopter to lift and transport cargo, the 'Helikopterfrachttransportskript', that finally provides the desired solution. At first I thought that there would be something out there already. However, according to his research there are no scripts or tutorials that let you have an AI helicopter reliably hovering over a cargo in ArmA 3 (having it meter-precise is imperative). This hovering and the whole process of picking up and setting down the cargo was supposed to look more realistic than just an attachTo. And so this script was written. It provides a precise hovering over the cargo, great looking attachment of the sling rope and picking up of the cargo as well as putting the load down in the same way at the target position. There are several routine integrated to avoid script errors in cases of explosions or deaths of the vehicle or AI. A description can be found inside the SQF file, how to execute the script. Have fun. Content It is a single ~250Code-Line-Big Script to let an AI controlled helicopter lift diferrent freight goods to a single destination. Purpose The aim of this script is to make it easier to lift freight goods from A to B without having to have a player pilot.

Hey everyone! After noticing someone ported the South Asia map to A3, I decided to take a similar try at the Seattle map as I quite enjoy it. It mostly worked out, but there were two stand out issues - the ambient cars weren't on the major roads (can figure that out myself most likely), and all the skyscrapers weren't really there, they were big blocks of blue nothing! What I'm talking about So, I figured I would ask here if anyone had this figured out before me. I believe I know why this happens, as the large buildings on this map don't have typical textures like all the others; they're real time reflections, a first for a BI game. I've tried moving the shader files I found into A3's bin.pbo, but that didn't help anything. I've also looked extensively through the TOH pbos and can't find anything useful or related. I really wanna see this map ported, does anyone know or at least have an idea on how to either get the reflections in or just replacing them with normal textures? Huge thanks in advance!

Greetings. I'm very new to modding, but recently I've started on adding vehicles, moving stuff around and etc. I've stumbled onto a problem with the Y-32 Xi'an Infantry Transport VTOL. I downloaded another mod which has successfully moved a vehicle from Independent to Blufor AND has a texture applied to it when you spawn it in. What I'm trying to do is basically the same. I want to copy the Y-32, put it into Bluefor and have a custom texture go on it. Inside my mod folder: Inside my mod/data folder: config.cpp script: #define true 1 #define false 0 class CfgPatches { class RTAF_Vehicle { units[] = {RTAF_Vehicle}; weapons[] = {}; requiredAddons[] = {}; }; }; class CfgEditorCategories { class RTAF_Class { displayName = "Shield"; }; }; class cfgVehicles { class O_T_VTOL_02_infantry_F { scope = 2; displayName = "Shield Y-32"; faction = "BLU_F"; vehicleClass = "Air"; editorCategory = RTAF_Class; Side = 1; crew = "B_crew_f"; hiddenSelections[] = {"camo"}; hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"\Y32_VTOL\data\vtol_01_ext01_shield_co.paa","\Y32_VTOL\data\vtol_01_ext02_shield_co.paa","\Y32_VTOL\data\vtol_01_ext03_shield_co.paa","\Y32_VTOL\data\vtol_01_ext04_shield_co.paa"}; class Library { libTextDesc = "BWS"; }; }; }; If anyone is able to help me out it would be very appreciated. Like i said i'm quite new to this and I've been trying for quite some time to fix it. Thank you in advance!
