I get really bothered by the clipping on the RHS M88 uniform. I might be OCD but this bothers me. It's there constantly as long as you don't have a vertical grip, then it goes away.
Hi everyone what’s the best out of all flc tanks helicopter or the others so if I don’t have that dlc what does that mean for me if I play muitplayer also is arma 3 still possible to play as a solo online or Not really I just got a PC
Steam is downloading a 239 GB update for Arma, I was playing yesterday and all files on my computer are still normal. Has anyone seen anything like this?
Hi everyone. I have had arma for ages and played it solo a bit, but whenever i want to host a game for friends to join like antistasi, i am never able to create a game. We can see each other online in the game but not in the server list. Most likely due to incorrect Port forwarding. If possible is there anyone here who would have spare time to help me out Ty for reading this
Hi Arma Team,
I'm looking for an Arma 3 key layout, and I found one online that's color-coded and looks fantastic. The issue is, I don’t have access to a color printer, and even if I did print it on a regular-sized sheet of paper, the text would be too small to read. I was wondering if there’s a way to get an oversized color copy of the key layout online. I checked with A, but didn’t find anything. Alternatively, would it be possible to take the image to a print shop and have them print a larger version?
Thanks
So as the title says, i have installed the Hide Among The Grass mod from the workshop, but when i'm in Game i can't see the Hidden status that should be showing on screen. I already have the enable UI option checked, and still nothing. I play antistasi ultimate with a couple of mods (~15) is this a mod compatibility issue or what am i missing?
I own Western Sahara so I can’t test it, but I belong to a milsim unit as a part time mission maker and want to use the map. I’m wondering if all of my guys download the Western Sahara DLC Compatibility Data mod, will they be able to play a mission made on that map?
I need something with good story and action because I do not play multiplayer. thanks!
I feel I have a very unique way to play Arma 3 that I have not seen very many people talk about. I like to play single player modded Zeus almost like an RTS. I use MCC to create an attack mission then spawn in my squads and control them through the Zeus editor. Or other times setting up a complete dynamic war on the map and controlling all bluefor units to fight AI controlled opfor.
The biggest issue I am having at the moment is finding the ideal AI mods for the best experience. I am currently using LAMBS, Zeus Enhanced, Anims for PIR and Move under fire. Using these unfortunately causes the most annoying IA behaviour for my play style. These mods work great if you're manually controlling one one squad as a leader using "all-in-one command menu", but not so much for Zeus control.
1, After contact infantry in vehicles randomly get in and out making it almost impossible to travel using vehicles in a warzone, and sometimes vehicles just refuse to drive.
AI on foot sometimes refuse to follow my move order and other orders like Sentry. They either ignore it OR take a very very long time to follow the command.
There are a couple more annoying issues that i cant quite think of right now.
So if anyone likes to play the game like me, only controlling AI and have found some success with an AI pairing please let me know how you did it. For anyone who hasn't quite tried this but has found some golden ai mods please let me know and ill give them a try. Thanks!
As the title states, the enemies cant shoot out of spiderholes, or they cant shoot the person which is inside a spiderhole. I think that they see the enemy and react to it but they don't shoot at all.
Is there a reason this is happening or is this thing on my end. (running 0 ai mods while testing)
I was wondering what everyone’s opinion of the best death mods or combinations of death mods is? I’m not looking for looking for anything insanely realistic, but definitely something better than the vanilla.
My current combination is: Ace Ace no medical AWR advanced would reaction PIR Death and Hit Reactions Kka3 animations Gore and dismemberment
I’ve been testing different combos for some time and I can’t quite find one I like. I like this combo so far because when enemies are injured, they fall realistically, and then they have some suffering animations, either crawling, laying and rolling and groaning. I also like that they react to specific areas of the body that are hit. However, I’ve seen two issues with this combo. Either the enemies are invincible during their animations or they seem to be made out glass, with no rhyme or reason despite having the same armor. One shot anywhere and they drop dead.
I’m looking for something with hit reactions, ragdoll when hit with a fatal wound, and something where armor protection matters (heavy armor can tank some rounds, no armor and they drop)
Hi, is there a mod/scenarios where i can use an a-10? Like i want to know how to deploy and use an a-10 in a scenario, i don't see any YT vids that shows where or what missions/scenarios and how i can deploy an a-10. Im a big fan of it (obviously) and all i can see is videos on how to fly it, but nothing on where/what mission/scenario i can use/deploy it.
(Iam German, ignore Grammar) I went through the tutorials and the prologue.
Then went onto a Server and spent 20 minutes driving to the frontline.
Then killed a ally. And then another. But i did kill a enemy before that thought. Through sheer luck. He definetly had advantage. I missed god knows how many shots.
Then i die to a enemy vehicle while there is a black screen telling me to not shoot friendlies. Yeah no shit sherlock. Thats common sense. i cant distinguish that shit.
Most keybinds i got by now. But no idea where text chat is. Where the fuck do i change my loadout? Where is the enemy? How do i not spawn a 15 minute drive away from the front? There isnt even a Heli to pick me up. I tried stealing one on the Airfield i passed. That thing was running. But i couldnt get into it. Why?
Any tips? I've tried without mods...just the cdlc activated....cannot find the mission on Altis.... I have no trouble launching the coop missions of RF or WS by the way.... Thx
Making a Goose Green op and can't find a mod that has the MILAN anti-tank launcher for the life of me. Are there any mods that feature it that ideally isn't part of a massive package?
Hi,
My goal is to get an Arma 3 server running on a local network to offload processing tasks, such as for Antistasi, and also to practice Warlords vanilla.
The server is already running on my Debian laptop. I can connect to the server from the Windows client, but get stuck on the loading screen because it seems no mission files are being loaded. Since configuring the Antistasi mod is an additional challenge, I wanted to start with Warlords for now. The Arma 3 MPmissions folder created by steamcmd only contains a readme.txt file. Warlords.altis.pbo
cannot be found anywhere, and as a result, Warlords does not start. No mission or map is being loaded. What is the solution, and where did I go wrong?
Here’s what my server.cfg looks like:
// Server Basics
hostname = "Vanilla Warlords Server"; // Servername
password = ""; // Passwort (leer = kein Passwort)
passwordAdmin = "hanfig"; // Admin-Passwort für Ingame-Admin-Tools
// Spieler-Limits
maxPlayers = 10; // Maximale Spieleranzahl
// Logging
logFile = "server_console.log"; // Server-Log-Datei
// Mission-Einstellungen
persistent = 1; // Fortschritt speichern
// verifySignatures = 2; // Signaturen-Überprüfung deaktivieren
// battleye = 1; // Battleye deaktivieren
// battleyeInstall = 1; // Battleye-Installation deaktivieren
class Missions
{
class Mission1
{
template = "Warlords.Altis"; // Missionsdatei (mit .pbo)
difficulty = "Regular"; // Schwierigkeitsgrad ("Recruit", "Regular", "Veteran")
};
};
