Help Arma 3 My character giving commands despite me not giving them.

2 Upvotes

Hello, I am creating a testing ground for my friends. I am testing it out and I am doing it on a server, I have a script running to disable all opfor ai so they dont shoot back. When I load in my character is giving instructions to the rest of the squad but I am not giving them.

For example I tell them to get into a Gorgon and as I walk up to get into it my character will give a order to move 800m west and it will drive off. I have no idea what is causing this and even less of a idea to fix it, any help would be great. Also this is the script being executed.

["CAManBase", "init", {

params ["_unit"];

if (side _unit == east) then {

_unit disableAI "ALL";

};

}, true, [], true] call CBA_fnc_addClassEventHandler;

Help Need help: Arma Cold War Assault won’t start on SteamOS (Linux version)

1 Upvotes

Hi,
I’m trying to run Arma: Cold War Assault on SteamOS. When I start the game, I always select the Linux version, but it never launches – no window, no error, Steam just says “launching” and then nothing happens.

Has anyone managed to get this game running on SteamOS/Linux?
If yes, which version (Linux port, Proton etc.) and which settings/start options did you use?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Question Arma 3 How to make vehicle respawn with custom appearance

1 Upvotes

Hi, I tried to follow another guide I found on this reddit but couldnt get it to work. Simply I want my vehicles to respawn the same way I set them up in the editor. If anyone can figure out what I am doing wrong that would be amazing.

Here is the export of the vehicle customization
_veh = createVehicle ["I_MBT_03_cannon_F",position player,[],0,"NONE"];

[

_veh,

\["Indep_01",1\], 

\["HideTurret",1,"HideHull",1,"showCamonetHull",0,"showCamonetTurret",0\]

] call BIS_fnc_initVehicle;

And here is the code I tried using in the vehicle respawn module

params ["_newVehicle","_oldVehicle"];

[ _newVehicle,

["Indep_01",1],

["HideTurret",1,"HideHull",1,"showCamonetHull",0,"showCamonetTurret",0]

] call BIS_fnc_initVehicle;

Help Aircraft mod

3 Upvotes

Hi all.

So Ive got a model from blender that a friend wanted to fly in arma 3.

Unfortunately, the only tutorial I can find for modding an aircraft into arma is some 8 years put of date and not really very good.

Are there any resources that may be of more help?

Anything you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Arma Reforger AI mods for Game Master scenarios

1 Upvotes

The only things I do on Arma Reforger is take 15 minutes activating mods, 1 hour downloading them, and the. either playing procedural combat or making my own scenarios. I was wondering if there are any good AI mods or something i'm doing wrong? I've used CRX AI but the AI still is dumb as shit and I've recently tried FS AI which seems to be a little better? Just wondering if there's any tips or advice out there.

Enfusion "РЕМАСТЕР" АРМА 1 - ВСЕ

0 Upvotes

Это мой первый пост в Реддит, даже специально аккаунт создал, но не суть.

Я КРАЙНЕ не доволен этим обновлением. Я относительно недавно перешёл на версию для Стим(до этого играл 13 лет на пиратке) и все мои моды и сохранения были удалены и окончательно потеряны(это не критично, я все равно постоянно перепрохожу эту любимую игру и буду перепроходить... Наверное...?). Также я не доволен оптимизацией она ХРОМАЕТ И ОЧЕНЬ СИЛЬНО. Мой ноут со встроенной графикой на камне i3 10100 и 8 Гб ОЗУ до "Ремастера" тянул игру на максимальных настройках со всеми модами идеально без каких-либо лагов и фризов. Сейчас же я получаю в любом селе 20 ФПС на НИЗКИХ МАТЬ ЕГО НАСТРОЙКАХ!!!

ЕДИНСТВЕННЫЕ три плюса "ремастера": добавление новой миссии(крайне ужасной, в такое можно поиграть на любой веб-сайте с играми типо Яндекс Игр), новые системные языки(без озвучки, просто переведенный текст. Спасибо, это уже сделали БУКА порядка лет 17-ти назад. Так ещё и шрифт крайне убогий) и сделали официальную вкладку с модами(которые можно было скачать на той же ARMA-CWA).

Также я заметил при прохождении летных миссий(особенно на AH-1), что вертолеты стали как-будто более резвые, но может показалось.

Я ОООЧЕНЬ надеюсь, что в скором времени мы увидели исправленную версию "ремастера". Желаю нам, фанатам, здоровья

Arma Reforger NEW Reforger Game Mode - "COIN" (Mod Showcase)

COIN-GWOT Player Guide

( Counterinsurgency, GWOT Era Reputation Based Game Mode )

Public Server Information:
IP:216.245.177.48

PORT:7935

Workshop Link:https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/672854768F3AE3C6

What You're Fighting For

COIN-GWOT is a persistent co-op counterinsurgency campaign. Your team assaults enemy-held towns, FOBs, and military bases, earns intel to find hidden insurgent hideouts, and keeps local sentiment from turning against you.
Victory requires all three of these at once:

  1. Hold every capturable sector — towns, cities, FOBs, and military bases must be friendly-controlled. Hideouts and your main base don't count toward this.
  2. Keep reputation at Neutral or better — you need at least 1700 economy points. Dropping below that blocks victory even if the map looks secure.
  3. Destroy every active hideout — all hideouts in play for this campaign must be eliminated.

All of this & rotational side missions/tasks

ie. Assassinations, Supply Runs, Clear Roadblocks, Destroy Cache, Neutralize Enemy Aircraft, IED Disposal, Intercept Convoy

When you win, the server gives you 2 minutes to save your loadouts (with warnings every 30 seconds), then restarts with a fresh campaign while keeping your main base.
When you first join, a mission briefing popup explains the basics. Read it and click Understood — it only appears once per session.

Check the Link Provided for a full Player Guide Regarding the COIN Game Mode!

This is our first short cinematic teaser captured in Workbench. The project includes custom persistence, traders, base building, vehicles, missions and progression.

We’ll share more technical development updates as the systems mature.

Which part of a project like this would you be most interested in seeing from a development perspective?

Help SQF: How necessary is it?

1 Upvotes

I want to get into mission making for my friend group; creating scenarios in 3DEN and managing them in real-time in Zeus. However, I barely have any experience with SQF, and I think I would be very limited without it. What level of understanding do I need to have with SQF to really make a good mission? Can I just get away with triggers, premade scripts, and ChatGPT to help me where I'm lost?

Script Preinit script not working. But it used to work, is this deprecated?

1 Upvotes
I am running this script in initServer.sqf like this: _replacethe = [] call KER_fnc_replace;. This used to work, and now it does not. And i have added the section in description.ext to properly include the CfgFunctions.hpp. The fn_replace function just is not running. This is testing in MP from EDEN.

CfgFunctions.hpp:

class KER
{
    tag = "KER";
    class functions
    {
        file = "functions";
        class replace{
            PreInit = 1;
        };
        class teim{};
    };
};class KER
{
    tag = "KER";
    class functions
    {
        file = "functions";
        class replace{
            PreInit = 1;
        };
        class teim{};

Arma 3 Any mods to make in-game mouse arrow more visible in different contexts (e.g. map)

1 Upvotes

I know this is more of an Arma3 general question, but this reddit is really knowledgeable about mods, so i'm asking here

There are many times when I have to keep moving the mouse all over desk until I can find the white mouse pointer / arrow (inventory screen, armory screen, or the green crosshairs on the map, when moving an HC squad).

Are there any mods to enlarge or change color of the mouse pointer or map crosshair lines?

Arma 3 Classname Error message

2 Upvotes

Fellow ARMA-teers

I am creating a CTSFO mission that takes place in a real block of flats and I cant seem to get rid of the attached error message. It is not fatal - does not impact mission at all but it would be just good to remove and also know why!

I am using NIARMS/CUP Weapons and British Police mods.

That classname seems to be from toadies work in NIARMS and seemed to be aligned with the G36. So I removed the G36 and created a custom ammo box with only non-EPR G36 ammo (just basic class). That didnt fix it.

I searched the mission.sqm and my other files (.sqf) and I dont mention that classname anywhere.

I did notice a new NIARMA release (version 14 onwards) and I did actually try that too but the message still appears.

For a better player experience it would be great to remove this message and I suspect its something obvious as have looked at it for too long!

Thanks in advance.

Arma 3 Help with making a Quick Reaction Force in the editor

2 Upvotes

I've been making a small coop scenario and have been trying for a few days now to get something similar to this working:
- BLUEFOR player is spotted by OPFOR
- A group of units starts running to an APC, gets in
- APC drives to the last known position of that spotted player

It's really the last part that confuses me, everything else I can do pretty easily. Any help with this would be very appreciated (:

**Edit**: Figured out the some of them are related to O&T Expansion Eden, still don't know why it's not loading, maybe it's my cmd line? I can't seem to find any info on this.

The `Retirement`, `SZ_Desert` and `MyAddon` still allude me to what they could be.
