Thanks ATV!  Got the IP.

Errrgh.

Ok, so I'm getting "Bad version, server rejected connection" error and red X next to the server name when I paste the IP in Remote.

I am running 1.38.128937 and I know the 66 mods are updated according to PWS and activated because I can see the row of them on the A3 main screen.

I am able to join other servers (e.g. KotH) without mods...what gives?

Arma3 updated recently.  Server has been running since before that happened.  Had to take down the server to update it.  Working now.

Initially the first time I tried it, there was no red X but I tried joining several times and it just immediately went back to the multiplayer screen.

So, then I thought maybe the server was running the latest beta, so I opted in for the beta on steam, then saw server was running 1.38, so opted back out of the beta and pushed back to 1.38.128957.

Is the server still running the exact 66 mods shown on the PWS subscription?

Looks like a bunch 'o you peeps don't like to disconnect from hamachi when you are not playing.  This still takes up a slot.   I've created a ARFCOM2015_3 to add some more slots.  I'll start booting people to when no one is one (just reconnect).

Awesome, works now, was able to join!

AI is pretty decent as compared to A2.  They aren't blind, yet they don't one shot you from 800 yards either.

When I first joined I had no gear and no map, took the backpack on the ground, got in the heli and did the HALO...

Anyway, I land near these 2 houses by these couple civilians, start getting shot at by 2 ISIS.  Having no weaps, steal one of the civvy's cars and run over the 2 schmos that were shooting at me.  Now I got an AK and more importantly, a map!

See insertion point on the map and go there and find gear, all COMBLOC.  Go off on my merry way with a RPK and technical.  Goto first red area, get shot at, kill a couple guys, then get killed.

I like the fact that 3rd person is disabled (realistic), but damn if I ain't hitting Enter on the NumPad out of habit every five minutes.

Yeah we were playing on it earlier and got the base taken over already.  Looks like I need to add something for new joiners to pop in the base once it is secured....

Even a map on a fresh spawn would be a godsend.  That way you can find the FOB.  I respawned there I think, and if that's where I was when you logged on.

Yeah, I had that too; didn't seem to affect anything.  Got a couple 'file not found' black ISIS or something-or-rather, but that just helped alert me that I was near enemies.

That's a Task Force Radio error.  Join Teamspeak: 68.113.220.171 and go to Doug's channel BEFORE you get past the server lobby, otherwise Task Force Radio will not initialize properly.  Does not affect anything other than comms.
you can still type as it only overwrites the game's VON functionality.

Mohammed did not like the fact that I killed some of the ISIS in his town...he actually walked over and inspected the body.  Mohammed later died running through a crossfire when he got spooked.


Some other of the ISIS in his town that met an unfortunate end:




Everytime I spawned I was back at the HALO heli spot...I never found a GPS and no map that I picked up would work.  I got the "Cannot connect to the positioning system" on the Map page even though I had a map on me.  Without a map, I couldn't find the FOB, and had to keep rearming from the insertion cache.

Also, is there something special that is required for you to give yourself saline, blood or plasma?  I "lost a lot of blood" but despite having all 3 of those, found no option to administer blood.  Apparently it should be under Advanced but it was blank for me.

Finally, there IS an option to set a key for the weapon rest/deploy...you goto controls then "Configure addons" then set a bind for CSE in the dropdown list.

And it doesn't deploy automatically from what I can see, you have to hit the key you bound and the icon changes from [sandbag and tiny space in between gun] to [gun touching sandbag].

I think I broke something this morning while editing the mission.   Fixed and verified that the map works now.   There are maps in one of the crates at the insertion point.   Also you can hit "m" for map and go to tasks and set repo man (when it is assigned) as your current task and it will point you toward the FOB, even without a map.

Next mission is basically done, but It won't launch on the dedicated server atm.   Once I get that glitch figured out there will be another mission in the rotation.

Have you updated PWS?  Current count is 68 mods.  Ridgback is one of the new ones.  If you launch thru PWS with the latest repo you should be gtg.

They are in the virtual arsenal but all bad dudes have modern guns (AKs, PKP, RPGs, etc.) and modern vehicles.  The exception is the Taru because it can haul pods and drop people, it's awesome.

Population can be sparse at times.  We really need to discuss some play session times

We had like 4 of us a couple says ago and it was a blast.. Until my dumb cat turned off the server comp  

Next mission in progress will be to hunt down an ISIS asshole known as the "The Slayer".  He's the one called in to butcher kids when ISIS conquers a new area.

Also plodding away at getting a reinforcement script working, so we can paradrop quickly back into the action.
Link Posted: 1/28/2015 7:12:05 PM EDT
[#20]
I believe that I have the reinforcement script finally working

Now you'll be able to paradrop in to nearby other players.  This will cut down the time it takes to get back in the action.

Added to the Ukraine mission.

No, my name is the same on here for Steam, AFAIK.  Maybe  sburnsy87, I don't remember.

But yeah we'll have to find a night to kill some.  I went in alone a few days ago, and got absolutely destroyed.  AI is outstanding.

Ok so apparently I completely misunderstood how the TMR weapon resting works  

So first, you'll come up to objects and it will automatically show this icon when weapon resting is available.



At this point you hit the "lock target" button, which by default is TAB.   You will hear a little click and the icon will change to this:



This will reduce muzzle climb while 'chootin.  You can still move as normal and it will go away on its own when you move away from a resting source.

You can also use a "deploy bipod" function while prone with certain guns, like LMGs.   Same button to activate it, TAB.  You will get the click and see this:




Class dismissed.  There will be a quiz later.

Next mission is ready to go.  There is now a third way to get back into the action:

1: Two pods that can be dropped by the Taru.  You can 'port back and forth to the base from these pods.  Makes for a moveable, semi-static 'port point.
2: Paradrop reinforce: choose a spot on the map within 100 meters from another player.  You will paradrop from 3500 meters  at that location.
3:  **New in next mission**  An2- paradrop.   There is an An2 at the base.  Everyone (including the pilot) can paradrop from it once it is above 175 meters.
As a bonus the An2 is armed, 500 rnds of .50cal and 4 mk 82 bombs  

The paradrop script allows you to keep your backpack, no need to grab a parachute.

I will change over to the new mission once someone can tell me how the Ukriane mission ends

myself and dj nex almost cleared the server tonight but I think I broke it. we were supposed to get intel from a guy in a tower and I blew up the tower, the intel never came man IT NEVER CAME.
Link Posted: 2/1/2015 1:45:36 AM EDT

Mission was called "The Underling"  We saw a dead guy floating in the air which we presumed was the guy that had the intel.  We had no way of getting to his body to retrive the intel and then he suddenly disappeared effectively stopping us from being able to move on to any new missions.

Mission tweaked to hopefully alleviate the game stopper.  He's on the ground now and I set the garbage collection to not delete the body..hopefully it works as intended.  

Remember to search the guy (scroll wheel) to get the intel.

Damn,

I dont know how to use 6 apparently. It's downloading the 2 new mods again, which took 10 minutes the first time, and now its going to take 30min it looks like..

Before after it downloaded originally I tried launching the collection, but ended up always connecting to KOTH servers with no mods installed. Okay, so deleted that, and now its redownloading the 2 newest mods..

By the time its done downloading I have to leave.. lol

Ok so the tower is technically a static object that is added in through some voodoo magic in the first place.  I can't edit it to make it unbreakable.  Best I could do is add another layer of walls around the bunker (tall concrete ones).  I also made the laptop unbreakable just in case.

Give it a shot
