ok we are trying to figure out why my brother forney can't get in...
here is a screen cap of all the mods he has on and this screen that is loaded.



ETA think we are good...he had his IS-mod name changed.

Yep it wasn't seeing the ISIS mod correctly.  Needs to be @is-mod so PWS can see and load it correctly.

Made some optimizations to the Fallujah map.  Loaded on the dedi.

Took a quad and hauled ass through town (blasting by OPFOR @ 70kps) and was getting 25-30 fps  

Should be playable after all.

Still working on the hostage mission.  Stupid hostages.

Very cool regarding renting a server.  Would anyone else like to try a vinilla map to see if the game runs better?  CPU concerns, not GPU concerns.  My frames are good until I get into a firefight and then things just grind to a halt.  Talking with others and internet research tells me it is because some of the maps just have so much stuff.  Just a thought.

Sure, I can make a mission using a vanilla map.   Big or small one?

It could also be an AI thing, I need to look into getting the headless client thing working....

I would think stratis or altis would be fine. would be interesting to see of the smaller of the two maps ran better.

we thought we saved the hostages last night.  Something was running back into the building and I chucked a grenade thinking it was a suicide bomber.  I guess the hostage decided he wanted to come back.  
Hoping there are some people on tonight otherwise might need the mission to be easier done with smaller squads.

I don't know why but they act wonky on the dedi for some reason.  Per request I'm going to make the next mission on Stratis.  It will be a smaller mission as dictated by the size of the map.

I try to give peeps plenty to do

Is the repo sync'd for you?  The total is 76 mods.

Try hitting the sync key in PWS, toward the right on the repo

Alternatively, grab USAF HERE and toss it wherever your mods are located.

If it still hasn't updated, try clicking on the upper left of PWS and choose HOME.  That tends to make it login.

Then you know what to do.  

Stratis mission is nearly complete.  Next mission I think will take us back to Ukraine for some winter fighting using the Helvantis terrain.

I've seen that issue with someone else a while back, they didn't have the terrain d'loaded.  Make sure you didn't skip anything in PWS.

As a backup, try grabbing the fallujah map HERE and toss it in your mods directory if you don't have it.

Arma 3 Marksman has been released.  I hadn't updated the server yet  

Also PWS is being a real bastard lately.  Everytime I try to sync the repo it crashes PWS

Diddo on work and days listed for me.

They integrated a weapon resting which is nice.   Working on building a FOB in the Kunduz map.  I might try to make a randomized mission as they are tweaking that map too much for ALIVE guys to index it yet.  I also really want to see what the asymmetric addon to the ALIVE system does.  I should try one with the Fallujah map.

Next day open for me will be wed.

It's two backpacks, a tube and a base.   Toss one on the ground and with the other on your back you get the scroll wheel to set it up.

well tried getting on tonight as my brother was back home.  I could update with PWS and I could see the mission but I couldn't get it to open.  He couldn't get the mission to show at all.  We were hoping to play a bunch tomorrow so hopefully it gets figured out.

Some mod update broke my missions.  At first I thought it was the Hueys because they renamed a bunch of the choppers, but that wasn't it.  The server was hanging upon creation.  Now that I think about it, probably has something to do with the USAF mod.   In the mean time, I threw up the Ukraine mission.  Verified that one works.

Just picked up Arma 3.  Is steam the only way to get this game?  Is that going to cause an issue with mods?  I know some games can't have mods installed if you bought them through steam.

Other than that what do I need to know?  Never really played any of the other Arma games.

I'd wager that 90% of the people in this thread purchased ARMA 3 from Steam.

You will still be able to run the mods with the steam version.  In fact, I believe with PWS you can even have the mods on a separate drive even, from the game directory.

ETA: The in-game tutorials and missions are fairly decent in getting you used to the controls and gameplay, although flying a heli in a virtual gray room was rather disorienting.

Steam is the main way to purchase this game.  It is handy as the game gets updated often and steam keeps it up to date for you.   The entire Arma series is very mod friendly.  It's probably the reason that it is as popular as it is.

Where to start?  What is your preferred type of gameplay?  Solo?  PVP?  CO-OP?  A3 is a good game and at it's core is a sandbox.  The sky's the limit.

A good way to get familar with the game is to run through the tutorials and do some campaign SP missions.  Once there you can enter the online multiverse and spend hundreds of hours on this game.

Check my OP for instructions if you want to jump on my server.  I try to keep it easy with PWS, it's a one-click method to handle mods.

Enjoy!

I really want to get into coop once I get more familiar with the controls/game style.  I did play Arma 2 a bit online but mostly just in free-roam/sandbox DayZ mod.  It was fun but I'd like to get more into scenario based coop gameplay.

I see a lot of videos of guys doing different raids/missions but I have no clue where to download them(or, are those simply just locations in the free roam mode that they decide to organize raids on but aren't actual programmed 'missions?')
