When its done  

This will be a long chain of tasks, with over a dozen in total, in addition to the random ones that the ALIVE system assigns.   I have about three more tasks to finish and then I will consider it complete.


Next mission will be the "break out of prison" scenario in Fallujah

No worries.  I'm stuck doing the work thing until wed. anyways.

Getting all the stuff downloaded and setup is the most annoying part. Given the ridiculous file size that all these mods add up to, it actually plays very well.

Arma 3 is going to keep me busy making missions for awhile

We need a Jaster vs InfiniteGrim air duel.

Just follow the links on pg. one.

Extract the files to your arma directory, typically steam/SteamApps/common/Arma3

Go into the game and in the main menu, go to configure.   Enable the mods.  restart Arma3

Grab Hamachi   (umanaged)

Load up hamachi and connect to whoever is hosting


Connect to the server and learn which one of the mods you missed grabbing


Easy cheesy, right?

Hosting will cause a major performance hit.  When you are hosting you are running all the AI and server side scripts on your own box.  I host even my single player missions on my other computer just for this reason.

ETA:  There is a way to get better fps if you want to host a server on the same computer you are playing on.  If you run a dedicated server on your box as well as the game it will use more of the resources available on your computer.

ATV...


The A-10 you selected is broken. While the loadout on it is better, you cannot target vehicles while using anything that isn't maverick missiles... Going by the PBO you used the SUD one... I looked into it and that is the A-10A (NATO) one. The ones that work are either the A-10 (US) or the A-10 (USMC).

class Item122
{
position[]={7931.3213,7,2160.0396};
azimut=61.007942;
id=238;
side="EMPTY";
vehicle="SUD_A10";
skill=0.60000002;
syncId=79;
synchronizations[]={30};
};





Obviously adding THIS would just make my day  (Ignore that... I installed it and forgot you need to go through ha realistic start up procedure... takes a few )

minutes of flipping switches in the EXACT needed order.


But PLEASE switch the A-10 to the US or USMC models

Yeah as the previous poster mentioned, I do take a big fps hit when hosting. Usual fps is in. the 20s to mid teens.  Playable but a bit jerky.  Worth it to get some craziness on.

Never thought about trying to host a dedicated server.  I do have another box with good specs, or I could host on same comp.   I'll look into that option.

Hrmmm... That is the only A10 I get when I selected empty--air.  Is it under the USMC faction maybe?  I'll. Poke around when I get home.  I'll get yer dam plane in there some day dammit

Did you fly to the marker up north?


EDIT:  I looked around at my units.  I have no other A10 so the only logical conclusion is I either don't have a mod activated that I should or you d'loaded something additional.

I'm thinking I have an older version of the "All in Arma" pack. As I'm looking at the one titled "All in Arma High Quality" says it replaced the A-10's with the STI A-10A

You have to edit the mission to do that.  You can dl a pbo unpacker which will allow you to open it in the editor.
Link Posted: 9/24/2014 12:51:33 AM EDT
[#35]
There is also most likely a script out there that you could add to the mission which would allow you to change time of day/weather settings in the lobby or one to give you random weather and time of day at mission start.

I would definitely like to know how to do this.  I imagine that you will want to host the dedicated server on its own box and use another to play on?   PM me or spell it out here, maybe others would like to know as well.

IIRC that's some kind of spawning script issue. Move it away from any structures and see if that helps.

If hosting the server in a separate process didn't give you any fps boost then damn that is a lot of AI.

I have been playing this series since OFP , and know the editor/missions making fairly well but not so much the scripting. Setting up a seperate server is not too hard , steam has all the files for it and plenty of google articles for it.

you do need a good dedicated PC to host if you do more than a few people , and pretty decent upload speeds. A core duo quad or a i3 with 8 gigs of ram and a ssd  could likely handle 8+ players well but really you have to test the missions and amount of AI first.

You can get the server .exe and set it up to run a separate Pc via your steam account without having steam on the host PC , have to google it and its a bit time consuming to get it setup but once its done right you can set up 'play with six' type addon sync makes it so much easier for people to have the same mods and everything is fully automated.  Read up here as a good start http://www.404games.co.uk/forum/index.php?/tutorials/article/26-how-to-setup-an-arma3-server-using-steamcmd/

I will get around to playing if you guys have a dedicated server going , I can make some fun small missions if needed. Nothing better than arma 3 with 8 to 12 people and small Spec OP missions against AI. Insurgency with ISIS on a dedicated box with the ability to sync addons using play with six would be sweet.

I'm happy to help any way I can . Whats the TS info ? ill hop in a chat the techie stuff if someone wants to try it all.

Now just to fine tune it.  I have to do some tuning with the ALIVE system and the amount of AI running around.  It can be setup a little better.  Even on Grim's dedicated server we can get bogged down to under 20 fps at times.

The alive system has a garbage collection module that does this exact thing.
