AhoyWorld is made by its players. We must recognise that our actions shape the community as a whole, and affect other people in particular.
AhoyWorld is a welcoming community that respects its members and visitors. We expect everyone to maintain this environment and will take action against those who jeopardise that community spirit.
Today, we removed a player who did not recognise this. In their actions, they deeply unsettled those involved and repeatedly crossed boundaries directly set by the other party. These boundaries become our own from the moment they are laid out. Now, we are laying them bare for everyone to abide by.
We are an inclusive community where everyone is treated as equal. Standing or length of stay do not absolve a member of the community from ignoring this fact.
We will not tolerate harassment of or indiscretion towards other members of the community.
If you see somebody cross personal boundaries, your voice matters. You can always bring any concern and fear of yours to our open ears as staff and people. You can always give the person involved a poke and ask if they are alright with the goings-on; it is better to ask than to ignore.
From all of us, thank you. Take care.

Ahoyworld SQF developer
This is the topic where you can find more information on how to become an SQF developer.
Please read the entire post if you want to apply.
What does a developer do?
AhoyWorld is always looking for SQF developers. As a developer you'll help out with all the missions we host and additionally also help members who want to host a game night that require some scripting out.
If you become a developer you'll be added to the appropriate staff channels (currently a hidden Discord channel) and the ahoyworld gitlab. This way we can communicate more easily.
What are the requirements to become an SQF developer?
Absolute requirements:
-
Must not be banned within the last 6 months
-
Must not be warned or kicked within the last 3 months
-
Must be active on the TeamSpeak server
-
Must have a basic understanding of coding
What we prefer:
-
Forum member for at least 3 months prior to application with an active, positive and constructive posting history
-
Enthusiastic players who are interested in advancing the community for the general enjoyment of all
-
A willingness to learn (more) SQF
How can I apply?
You can apply by sending a private message to anyone who's currently both an admin (or higher) and a member of the dev team. If you're not sure who to contact, hop on TeamSpeak and ask any admin, he will direct you to the right place.

Repository info
All the mods we allow on our servers can be downloaded from our repository (or repo for short).
We also have a collection on steam that can be found here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1778947844
Allowed mods and info
This are the mods (with direct download links) that are currently allowed on our I&A servers:
Misc mods:
- CBA 3, A requirement for almost all our mods
- shacktac UI, includes STHUD, Group Indicators, Player Name, Map Brightness, ...
- outlaw magrepack, This magazine repacking mod lets you repack your non-full magazines
-DUI - Squad Radar A compass showing all nearby units in your squad. Additionally you can show your bearing in number format above this compass. Has support for occlusion, different ranges, colors, icons and so on!
- Discord Rich Presence A way to show your support for AW through your discord game activity bar. (will be added to the steam collection soon:tm:, for now the name is a link.)
Sound/visual mods:
All of these alter vanilla sounds and/or visuals in some way
- DynaSound 2
- JSRS SOUNDMOD
- Blastcore Phoenix 2
- Enhanced Soundscape
We highly recommend that you only have one of these active when playing arma. Some of them overwrite the same vanilla sounds/visuals. Having 2 or 3 running at the same time might lead to unexpected behaviour. Enhanced soundscape should technically be compatible with the other 3 sound/visual mods but we don't guarantee it'll work as intended by the mod creators.

AhoyWorld public moderator applications
This is the topic where you can apply to become a moderator on our public servers.
Please read the entire post before filling out the application form.
What does a public moderator do?
Public moderators support our community by weeding out troublemakers and rules-breakers on our public ArmA servers, the TeamSpeak server and our forum.
On ArmA servers a moderator may warn, kick and/or ban someone in violation of the rules. If a ban is applied, a moderator must fill out a brief ban report. A tool which makes use of the RCON system is used to apply bans.
A moderator also deals with player reports filed by players when there are no moderators present to deal with situations. After taking any necessary actions, the moderator informs the reporter of any actions taken.
What are the requirements to become a public moderator?
Absolute requirements:
-
Must not be banned within the last 12 months
-
Must provide at least 2 references from current public moderators or core staff members. Please ask the moderators whether you can put them down as a reference for your application
-
Must be active on the public servers and on the TeamSpeak server

Forum member for at least six months prior to application with an active, positive and constructive posting history
-
Personality is pragmatic, trustworthy, reliable, considerate and respectful
-
Enthusiastic players who are interested in advancing the community for the general enjoyment of all
Probationary Period
If your application gets accepted, you will be under a 3 month probationary period, where you actions are closely watched by moderators, to ensure you are using your priveleges in line with the moderator guidelines.

Invade & Annex
Rules & GuidelinesUpon entering an AhoyWorld I&A server you agree to abide by the following rules. Any breaking of the rules can result in sanction being applied by a member of staff. These sanctions can include, but are not limited to, warning, in-game punishment, kicking, temporary ban and permanent ban. Which action should be taken will be determined on a case-by-case basis by the staff member(s) present at the time and left to the discretion of this/these member(s) of staff.
If you see any player breaking these rules, please report them to staff, or use the player report form.
4.1. Do not intentionally kill another player on your side. If you accidently teamkill someone, apologize immediately.
Notes:4.1.1.Teamkilling as a result of using thermal optics or lack of a tag is not an excuse. Repeated accidental teamkilling will not be tolerated. A good rule to live by is: “Not sure? Don’t shoot!” A single instance of an accidental teamkilling can be forgiven if it’s a legitimate accident and you apologize.
4.1.2.Repeated and/or intentional teamkilling will result in a ban.
4.2. Play the mission as intended.
4.2.1.Exploiting bugs, glitches, loopholes, exploits, … for personal gain will not be tolerated. If you find an example of this, please report it to a member of staff so it can be fixed.
4.2.2.Using hacking and/or cheating tools or doing any action that could be seen as hacking or cheating will be immediately sanctioned.
4.3. Consider your skill as a pilot before taking a Pilot slot.
Notes:4.3.1.The primary role of a pilot is to provide logistical support to the infantry on the ground. Examples of logistical support are: transporting people, ammo, fuel, vehicles, …
4.3.2.In case of poor ability, a pilot may be asked to leave the slot.
4.3.3.We recommend and highly appreciate that our pilots are on TeamSpeak (the IP can be found on the map).
4.3.4.Pilots are in command of their aircraft, not the passenger nor co-pilot. Don’t confuse this to mean that co-pilots cannot take control.
4.3.5.Pilots are required to land in designated areas in base.
4.3.6.AFK pilots will be removed from their slots faster than someone would from a normal slot for being AFK.
4.3.7.Pilots should keep an eye on their gunners. Respond to a member of staff as soon as possible when he asks you who your gunners are.
4.4. Play your role.
Notes:4.4.1.If you are operating a support asset like a mortar or a CAS plane/helicopter you are not allowed to kill the entire AO. Support assets are there to support the infantry this means that infantry have to call these support assets in.
4.4.2.Medics should always have the needed equipment to revive someone.
4.4.3.Repair specialists and engineers should always have the needed equipment to repair damaged vehicles.
4.4.4.Use weaponry that is appropriate for your role. Examples of unacceptable use of weapons are: non-snipers using sniper rifles, and a normal infantryman running around with an LMG.
4.5. Do not waste assets.
Notes:4.5.1.Don’t be quick to destroy a damaged allied vehicle. If it’s damaged, try to repair it. When you have done anything that can reasonably expected of you to get it operational again, just leave it. It will eventually despawn and re-spawn at base.
4.5.2.Wasting assets also includes intentionally crashing any vehicle into anything, repeatedly abandoning assets that are still in working order, and intentionally wasting limited vehicle ammo.
4.5.3 Do not intentionally destroy another players vehicle.
4.6. Respect game immersion.
Notes:4.6.1.Refrain from spamming the side global and command chats. Ask yourself if what you have to say is useful information for everyone. It might be more sensible to use group, vehicle or direct chat.
4.6.2.Do not talk in global, side and command channels. Use group, vehicle and direct chat for voice communications.
4.6.3.Playing music in global, side, command and group channels is forbidden. You may play music in direct and vehicle channels, unless another player asks you not to.
4.7. Trolling in any way will be dealt with swiftly and harshly.
Notes: Trolling includes, but is not limited to:4.7.1.Blocking doors
4.7.2.Unnecessarily throwing smokes in front of friendlies
4.7.3.Following players around excessively, hindering players, pestering players, overdramatically role playing.
4.7.4.Stealing people's vehicles and/or equipment.
4.7.5.Spamming and/or repeatedly pinging Zeus.
4.8. Being AFK for prolonged periods of time in the server is not acceptable.
Notes:4.8.1.How fast you’ll get kicked from the server depends on server population, the slot you’re in, whether or not you gave prior notice and the staff member's discretion.
4.8.2.Excessive lobby idling is not permitted, nor is camping out a certain slot.
We reserve the following rights:
1. To restart the mission or server whenever we deem necessary.
2. To deny access to our service to anyone for substantive reasons not listed in these rules.
3. To waive any of these rules in favour of enjoyment of the mission.
4. At the start of missions, to reserve slots in favour of: Known players on TeamSpeak, other TeamSpeak users, known players that are not on TeamSpeak, anyone else. In case of a tie or in case there is no admin present, slots are obtainable on a first-come, first-served basis.
The most up to date version of these rules can be found here. This topic is merely a highlight of the rules that apply specifically to the servers we host that run I&A.

Introduction of Regular Community Meetings
in News
Posted
Hi all,
Based on recent events and feedback from the community, we have decided to introduce a regular community meeting, to be held on a regular schedule which is to be agreed during the first meeting.
The first of these meetings is to be on Thursday 22nd July at 18:00UTC held in the Ahoyworld Teamspeak. (ts.ahoyworld.net, weekday/times of future meetings is another topic to discuss and agree)
The purpose of these meetings will be to both communicate staff plans to members and to discuss member feedback/concerns.
With the plan being that at subsequent meetings we can determine the effectiveness of any measures/actions decided at previous meetings and adjust accordingly.
The heart of Ahoyworld is and has always been its members. As CS we strive to meet the needs and expectations of the members, though sometimes as people we fail to do this but I hope that if we can have a more open forum then we can be more proactive rather than reactive.
In advance of this meeting we will be preparing an agenda as put forward by the members and keeping minutes for record on the forum for those that cannot attend. Any member can put forward a topic to discuss.
Please share below any topic which you would like to see discussed or message a member of Core Staff with your suggestion if you wish to do so privately.
Looking forward to seeing you there
