    Arma 3 closing on AhoyWorld server

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    weird, have you tried deleting the Mission files from the multiplayer cache, your saved mission file might be corrupt, but intact enough to let you load in??

     

    go to C:\Users\*username*\AppData\Local\Arma 3\MPMissionsCache and delete the I&A .pbo's re-enter the server and let it download again 

     

    and since you're not running any mods, other then above or your connecting when server is full I can't think of anything else that would kick you or stop you joining the server

     

    can you check if you get an .rpt entry when you crash / get punted out

    they're found here C:\Users\*username*\AppData\Local\Arma 3 open with notepad++ and usually the last few lines will tell you what's causing the crash

    Hopefully once EDGE releases we'll get some features like player skins getting read across the server & a proper filter 

     

    but the way it is now and how .lua works and changes each update which breaks or changes something else,

    it's kinda tricky to do anything without a relatively good knowledge of the program and all it's quirks

    from what i see on the forums most people have given up those kinds of mods until EDGE and then we'll see what happens from there 

     

    there is a score / kill board if you press Tab or ' can't remember which :)

     

    a skin repo would be cool but would get quite large quite quickly as all texture files are uncompressed .dds layered images even if zipped the don't compress too much less then unzipped

    for example I have 7 livery files for the Sabre and they total nearly 1.2gb by themselves, if I was to do that for all the modules I'd need a hdd for skins alone

    The Hawk was technically a glorified mod up until last week, when it became an official module with ED aproved installer, you needed a separate installer to have it before then

     

    as for liveries I think you are the only one with a custom texture, unless Cain want one for the Sabre,(the only default one is a bit muck)

     

    Everyone eleses liveries are stock and already in game so everyone can see them no need to add them in post, unless anyone else has or wants a custom one

     

    Raz / Chris / Whoever is hosting can you add following .lua's to your DCS Saved Game files it should allow Tacview to capture everyone's flight telemetry while in MP

    instructions in the readme or just install Tacview it's free :P

     

    Also if adding Liveries (as the example DudeX has is set up a very old way i.e. for Flaming Cliffs) I'd suggest you install them to your DCS Saved Games folder "WHATEVERDRIVELETTER":\Users\"USERNAME"\Saved Games\DCS\Liveries

    as updates tend to remove added files if you put them inside the game install folders :)

    if above folder doesn't exist just create it, DCS looks for it first, and add your livery to the appropriate aircraft folder example I've added an A-10C folder for DudeX's A-10 so I'll see his if Raz adds it :) just make sure it matches the aicraft folder name in the MODS or CORE MODS folder for the install directory

     

    "SomeDriveLETTER":\Users\"SOMEONE"\Saved Games\DCS\Liveries\A-10C\ and dropped the download Livery folder into it similar to below

    Aviojet C-101EB for me

    Patrulla Aguila25 25 Aniversario Livery set as Spain to get the livery ;)

    and remind me to load up on smoke before startup too ;)

     

     

    Dude - you couldn't see that Hawks last time,

     

     

    they're part of the game now after the last update so should show up for you now test for yourself in editor 

    drop an A10 or whatever you have to fly and put a Hawk down in the parking area next to you, if it show up then its working 

    if not you might need to do a DCS Repair to get it to install correctly - alternatively buy the module :)

    Both names you chose can been seen a racially offensive weather a real name or not, we do not condone that sort of thing, also your avatar pic was in very bad taste, 

    again offensive, your response about your pic was that it's only toilet paper and laugh it off as being kind of funny again not what we want on our TS so no you won't be welcome at any time with that sort on immature attitude

    Yeah I have a Tacview 

    but it only records my flight,   :(

     

    I suggest eveyone get it if we continue this kinda thing it's free for ever - http://tacview.strasoftware.com/

     

    when you first get it you get the Home user version on Trial for 21 days after that it switches off some options but is still very usable 

    all you need to do is launch it before you run DCS or FSX or FALCON4 or if you fly in real life and have a GPS you can export a saved route and watch it back in the program.

    launch DCS it'll record in the background and saves to where ever you tell it to

     

    It's great for reviewing flights and the aerobatic fun and game

     

    If we all had it we can merge each of the recording together within the Tacview program to get every one flight on the same screen

    For those that are flying the older aircraft (WWII / F-86, Mig15 & 21) with different channel frequencies see Lino's DCS Beacon map here - http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/588673/

    Would be cool if we could get the Aires radio mod up but might be difficult on Short notice maybe future :)

     

     

    it's like a DCS version (but been around alot longer) TFAR / ACRE for the coms and you use the in cockpit radio channels to broadcast over TS & receive comms between each plane

    EU 1/2 Fixed Restart Times

    in Invade & Annex

    Posted

    If i remember correctly we did at one stage have an auto re-starter on EU1&2 but due the the crashaton nature of Arma we'd end up having to restart more frequently, and then just because it's Arma and it's messed up code the re-starter wouldn't reset to the last restart, so it would end up that we'd "hard" or "soft" restart for a crash / script kiddie and then more often then not the re-starter would kick in 10 - 20 minutes later for the scheduled restart and kill the server again and it started pissing players & admins off so we took it away for sanity sake :)
