Get the setPlayable command to work and it makes integration of 'on/off' PvP play easier

I did a concept test of adding PvP element to I&A back in March. The gameplay effects I saw were not the direction I thought I&A should go in. It changes the atmosphere of the server when there could  be players glitching into rocks waiting for you to pass, or hiding in 3rd person behind rock waiting for you to expose yourself. 
 
I do have intentions in the medium-term to build in some multi-faction variety to I&A where you would get players able to shoot at other players, but that would be a separate branch of the game-mode, not become the main branch.
 
The main branch is co-op.
 
 
 
In the meantime, with your version of I&A, simply drop down some OPFOR playable units, put down a "respawn_east" marker, make sure if a player is side-EAST that they do not run BTC revive, and then build a:
 
 
into the main AO sequence
 
then in your onPlayerRespawn.sqf event script, if the player is side-East, do something like this:
 
  to spawn them in a slightly random location near the middle.  
And there you will have your PvP I&A. 
 
If you want one of the bigger communities to do this, I think you will not find much traction. Put a poll up somewhere and get a few hundred votes in favor of PvP I&A and maybe it will become a higher priority.

I just want to personally give a public THANK YOU! to

Without his hard work the past week or more, we would not have the arma servers back up and running yet. So thank you for that bro!
 
It doesn't just stop there though. He not only got our server reinstalled and ARMA servers online, but ALL the behind the scene stuff that you guys will never see or know is going on with our server, he has done such a superb job on everything he has done. I wish that I didnt have to work the past 4 days so that I could have helped.
 
So again, thank you very much bro, your hard work is not unappreciated. I hope your wife isn't pissed at you for all the time you spent getting us back up and running.
 
Also thanks to everyone else who has helped get things back in order, or are in the process of getting back up and running, I.e. Proxima and the MC servers, and anyone else who I'm not sure is helping because I am at work 12 hours every day.

Hello folks!
 
Due to some unexpected issues with our ArmA3 servers we have been forced to take them offline for some unexpected maintenance.
We will be working our hardest to get them back up, running smoothly as soon as we can.
 
 
UPDATE:
 
The server maintenance is scheduled for this Saturday.
 
- Teamspeak: A backup Teamspeak will be running on ts.ahoyworld.co.uk, make sure you have this mentioned in your favorites and do NOT connect to our old IP-address directly, or you will not be able to connect during the outage.
 
- Minecraft: Will also be down during the maintanance. A snapshot will be taken on Friday, all world changes made  AFTER Friday afternoon will be lost !!
 
- Arma3: Will probably be back online late in the afternoon, ready for prime-time gaming (fingers crossed)
 
Staff will be online and available during the day\evening\night during the re-install and re-config of the servers. We will keep this thread updated below with the latest status changes. So keep an eye on the red-text below.
 
Once we have everything working again, we will probably have to restart the server several times in order to make configuration changes. Please bear with us during that time.
 
Also once we open the servers back up for the public, we would appreciate everyone to report the problems you might be having, so we can sort everything out as quick as possible.
 
Many thanks, AhoyWorld Administration.

That's my point Jester, everybody is at a different level so a few bumps here and there are to be expected! 
 
On the other note, I'll be around most likely the next week so can jump on! Good to see you active again, at least for now anyway

I think everything that needed to be said has been mentioned so let's wipe the slate clean as hoax said and start again.

As it has been written on our club page:
 
 
 
We are all friends here, we do not obstruct each other on track, we do not aggressively attack on track... WE'RE IN THE SAME TEAM, there should be no "it's all about me" attitude, I've recently witnessed and a lot of the time been on the receiving end of some mighty collisions. In fact tonight was the last straw.
 
1. Just because you say "I'm on the left" doesn't mean you're definitely coming through on the left and he will pull over, the only time this would be the case is if the car in front was blue flagged!
 
2. You want to keep your lead/ you want to get ahead of course you do, but you do not attack other cars, it's disgraceful and disgusting just like teamkilling on ARMA for example, because that is EXACTLY what you are doing. killing off members of your own team, your own friends...
 
I would pick a partner every session and go out away from the rest of the whorde in PAIRS ONLY to races, you cover more ground and you get to know the other fella better that way. I'm not saying you have to do this, but it's better that way for sure.

Made a wood elf for now

It's simple enough. Just go into the game properties in steam, click betas and then select onlinetest

use an event handler for the respawn. then have it called that way.
 
i.e.
 
this addEventHandler ["respawn", {_this execVM "file_that_has_the_line_you_want_run.sqf"}];

Arma 3 Main Menu -----> Configure ------> Game -------> Difficulty -------> Auto Report = Disabled
 
To do it on a server, you would have to drop those config options into your DefaultServer.Arma3Profile and then set AutoSpot = 0

updating server keys now

Thought I'd share this video I made:
 

@bigal - LOVE IT! lmfao

Hey mike, I've had this with another member and i could not understand why every time i removed his ban from the server, he would join and it would pop right back up again. Even i have used cheat engine on a different game so when i saw this happen to the gentleman i mentioned i was startled.

As with what raz said.... we need logs to sort other problems out. We wont turn them off just to hide problems so people can use a mod that doesn't work properly. Although it may "seem" to run fine, it doesn't if it is causing a log file up to and surpassing a gig in only an hour or so.

yea, basically how we do our acre server is this....
 
start ARMA with all acre stuff enabled. go to the editor and toss a couple acre boxes down. You can also set each unit, if you feel so inclined, with a set radio.
 
i.e.
this addItem "ACRE_PRC119"; this assignItem "ACRE_PRC119"; or this addItem "ACRE_PRC148"; this assignItem "ACRE_PRC148"; but you will have to enter either of those lines into each unit as you see fit.
 
Lastly, you will want to throw down a few radio towers around the island. Otherwise you will loose coms easily.

I like the idea, but I think there are more important things to improve first so I voted no.
 
What I can come up with:
 
-Boat side missions are a nice addition but need a big update: have divers spawn under water at the wreck, instead of above it, so players can't just swim down and ignore the AI. More defence around the wreck is needed, either divers/boats/helicopters/underwater mines
 
-The defend phase of an AO needs to be looked upon. It doesn't really give the impression of a proper counterattack, instead it spawns enemies randomly at the edge. Maybe add enemy paradrops (instead of having Orca's land first), get enemy infantry and vehicles to spawn from a only certain direction but more concentrated, have them advance into the AO more aggressively. I'd prefer the need to kill all waves of reinforcements instead of a timer to clear the Defend order. Also maybe take a look at something to lose during the defend order, like a building that can be blown up or a flag at the town square. Finally maybe a look at the frequency of the Defend order.
 
-UAV's and UGV's are still bugged. More often than not after they respawn you can't connect to them. This has been a persistent problem that could use fixing.
 
-Enemy Buzzards. I haven't seen them do anything useful or pose any real threat so for the sake of performance I think it's better to take them out.
 
-Ammo Drop from the Ghost Hawk seems to not be working fully yet.
 
-Revive bugs occurring frequently, where players can't be revived or moved by some. Also the revive point script is messed up. For a randomer it says 'you revived a squad mate' and gives you two point, and for a squad mate it says 'you revived a fellow soldier' and gives you one point. This should be turned around.
 
-Side mission enemies despawning straight after the objective has been blown, clearing the side mission objective and AO immediately. My suggestion is to only make the side mission objective complete once all enemies in the side mission AO have been killed, like the Mortar AO's.
 
-General performance optimization. I seem to be getting lower FPS on the server than I did a month ago. It went down from 35-40 average to 25-30 average. Changing my graphics had no impact to improve it again.
