Hey Guys, i love playing Arma, but there is one thing that always bothered the hell out me... Why we have no way to save player data like custom weapon configs, player outfits etc with our account and access them on multiple multiplayer servers like "King of the Hill" or "Altis Life"? Over the past months i've tried to figure out a way to make this happen. I found the wonderful Add On https://github.com/playnet-public/ArmA3URLFetch, which gives us the possibility to access API Endpoints from your local machine in multiplayer missions. The last days i developed an open django api endpoint, which can be requested by the player in the mission and there fore, there can be exchanged data, without the need of a local database. Of course, there's the question on how to authenticate the unique player in the mission. I'm trying to rebuild an OAUTH like workflow, where the local server acts as an authentication provider, by calling the api endpoint as well. Here's the workflow: In my opinion, this new approach gives mission creators a very powerful tool... Creators can now access every possible player information through one endpoint from multiple servers: Here's a multiple server setup: This gives mission creators the ability to share player information across every server of their mission and maybe host a mission website to access player information outside of Arma. At the moment i've developed a "proof of concept" iteration to ask for feedback if there is a need for such a system. I'm looking forward to your feedback and i would love to implement such a system in an upcoming multiplayer scenario. Here's an example example multiplayer mission. Here's the open django api endpoint. Best Regards, Luke PS: Sorry for the bad paint pictures, i'm broke 😉 Here is how its done: (authentication stuff is still in work...) Call the authentication in the initPlayerLocal.sqf and give player action (just for testing purposes) player addAction ["Handle Request", { [] spawn it_fnc_handleRequest }]; // handle the authentication [] spawn it_fnc_handleAuthentication; define the handleAuthentication function _cliendid = [ "http://192.168.0.102:8000/api/auth", "GET", ["uid=xyz"], true ] call a3uf_common_fnc_addClient; [ _cliendid, ["Content-Type: application/json"] ] call a3uf_common_fnc_setClientHeaders; _response = [ _cliendid ] call a3uf_common_fnc_clientRequest; _test = parseSimpleArray _response; _next = _test select 1; _u = _next select 0; _auth_token = _u select 1; diag_log "AUTH TOKEN"; diag_log _auth_token; _token_string = format["token=%1", _auth_token]; _cliendid = [ "http://192.168.0.102:8000/api/check", "GET", ["uid=xyz", _token_string], true ] call a3uf_common_fnc_addClient; [ _cliendid, ["Content-Type: application/json"] ] call a3uf_common_fnc_setClientHeaders; _response = [ _cliendid ] call a3uf_common_fnc_clientRequest; _test = parseSimpleArray _response; _next = _test select 1; _u = _next select 0; access_token = _u select 1; diag_log "ACCESS TOKEN"; diag_log access_token; define the handleRequest function _cliendid = ["http://192.168.0.102:8000/api/user", "GET", [], true] call a3uf_common_fnc_addClient; _auth_string = format ["Authorization: Bearer %1", access_token]; [_cliendid, ["Content-Type: application/json", _auth_string]] call a3uf_common_fnc_setClientHeaders; _response = [_cliendid] call a3uf_common_fnc_clientRequest; _test = parseSimpleArray _response; _next = _test select 1; _u = _next select 0; _name = _u select 1; hint format["Hello %1", _name]; diag_log "REQUEST"; diag_log _auth_string ; diag_log _response; define endpoints in views.py # api endpoint for user to access saved informations @api_view(["GET"]) def user(request): print(request.headers) token = request.headers.get("Authorization").split(" ")[1] # find the player by given access token try: player = Player.objects.get(token=token) # get the player # except User.DoesNotExist: except: # player with given token not found, return error return Response({'error': 'Player with token not found'}, status=HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST) return Response({"name": player.name})

Configured to add an inventory to all Arma 3 camping tents, including the solar tents from Contact DLC. Also configured to be used as simple objects via their "special states" attribute. Unbinarized config file, feel free to edit maximumLoad or TransportItems classes to suit your own needs. Current Maximum Load: 2000 Current TransportItems: First Aid Kit, Map, Compass. Steam Workshop.

Unfortunately upon installing Arma 3 Tools, I attempted to Mount the Project Drive and it mounted it onto my much smaller 250GB SSD on which the OS is installed and many other programs that I prioritize highly, so I wanted to assign it to the lower priority 1 TB HDD on which I have all of my Steam games including Arma 3 & Arma 3 tools, but it wouldn't install there. I would like to be instructed procedurally upon how to mount the project drive onto the correct drive (1 TB HDD). Perhaps the fact that Steam is installed onto my SSD is causing the conflict. Steam.exe & Arma3.exe are both not administrator-only executables. Additionally, I receive the "0x50001002: Failed to mount the work drive" error when I attempt to run the mapdisk.bat file. I also haven't updated my version of Windows after the update that was released on the October of last year because I was unable after my first and only attempt to install it. My computer frequently crashes programs and freezes as well. Perhaps that may have something to do with the error specifically?

Whenever I find 7.62x54 for a mosin while out on a raid/scavenging I can't store it. The only thing I've read similar to this is the ammo from loaded weapons glitches when you store the weapons, but this isn't the case.

Hi, With previous version (1.60) the mod storage allowed to path another HDD than the Arma one. I used to have Arma on (small) C\: SSD and a bunch of addons on E:\ HDD. Since Apex, all Steam mods are considered as "corrupted" with 0 Kbyte. I succeeded to reload local mods (non-steam) from E: in the watched folder, but Steam loaded remained corrupted even if i deleted them, unsubscribed the subscribed again. The solution was to "restore default" the mod storage. Addons remained in the c:\..\steamApps\workshop\content\107410... folders of addons. So my 2 cent question: - why always modifying something working for a weird solution, probably untested in every config? - how transfer the addons (several Gbytes) to the HDD and keep clean the SSD for Arma engine? Thanks :rolleyes:
