I can't wait This is what ArmA is all about, the game is just a framework for the communitys imagination.

I am happy to announce that I have come to the realization that I have been over thinking the entire process. These videos have now unlocked this game for me. Again Richie thank you, As now not only can I do the custom boxes, but you all can look forward to some intense Single Player action that I am currently working on. 3 of the missions that I have slated for development come from real world actions carried out by the US ARMY from the years 2003-2009, Depending on maps and other things I may even be able to do more of those types of missions. I am SOOOOOO excited now, I can't wait to post my first mission file for you guys. I hope you will enjoy it!

Hi there!
I'm Ben. My written nickname is n69ky, you can call me nooky and my Ahoy codename is obviously 'nightsky'. I live in Liechtenstein (Thats between Switzerland and Austria, for those who don't know ). I've started playing dayZ last summer and wanted to test arma3 as soon as it came out. if it wasn't for your 'PvE' server/mission I wouldn't have played the alpha this much. thanks for that.
you might not have noticed me on the server, that's because I'm a very shy one and I almost never speak/write.
I'm looking forward to sit next to you in the chopper, to put my boot on the ground with you and to have fun
if you wanna know more google for n69ky. there's me and a plane...

thank you so so so so so so so so much for removing mortars

Hi, I figured it was about time I registered since I have been spending so much time on the server lately!
 
I'm a Swede living in Oslo, Norway. I spend my time at work as a project manager and lately I have enjoyed ARMA in my spare time. Even though I played quite a bit of operation flashpoint and also some ARMA 2, I have to say that the ARMA 3 Alpha really surprised me in a positive way.
 
In game I have both been lone-wolfing (in the mornings) and playing with other regulars, and even though driving around alone in an Ifrit, sniping Iranians from afar, is fun (and almost therapeutic) in it's own right, I much prefer the company of a good crew, which is what I seem to have found on this server.
 
My experience with the AHOY crew, the server, (and most of the people on it), has been great so far. I won't be playing as much as I have these last few days, but I hope to be a regular in the future as well!
 
See you on the battle field!

Hi Guys, i'm James. In-game EchoTomcat.
As Topic subject probably gave away, i'm a photographer away from the keyboard and i'm wanting to get involved with a good clan for when I graduate later this year from university.
Used to play Call of Duty, Crysis but not anymore, ARMA III is where it's at. I also play minecraft (tekkit/bukkit) however not played that in a while, but i'll probably dabble with it again.
See you all in-game. Here's a photo of me on a quad being straddled by a stranger, creepy.

Downloaded, installed and love it
Thanks again Rarek and it's really nice to meet another community who aren't full of themselves you know what i mean

Hey guys, I added Tonic's Virtual Ammo boxes and BTC Revive and Team killing punishment scripts to the UKGZ server and all seems fine. The Virtual ammo boxes are awesome, the load out saves client side so loading your custom loadout is only a few clicks away, and the easy removal of items in your inventory seems to have curbed the gear pooping. The Tk script works but only if victims vote to punish.
Keep up the good work guys looking forward to side missions in 2.8

Future downloadable versions needs at least to be stripped of link to Ahoy World TS3 server. Confused people from other servers running the mission have been connecting asking for admins and whatnot.
 
Also: I didn't get to play v2.8 long enough to try it out when it was accidentaly run at the public server ahead of times. But if there's no revive action, I believe that's a good addition for future versions.

Awesome, we're a similar community. If you have any suggestions/bugs feel free to report them in our thread

Hi Melbo! Thanks so much for using our mission; it means a lot that so many people like yourself are enjoying it!
 
In regards to saving gear loadouts, both you and your players are correct: there's currently nothing put in to enable you to do that. We're working on implementing a customised gear-saving / picking screen that will allow you to easily change (and save) everything while at base. I'll have this implemented in version 2.8 (which will hopefully be out this weekend).
 
So you're aware, in 2.77 there are a couple of issues regarding markers appearing / not appearing when a new AO is created. This may well hit you, but we're testing an alternative method on our server with version 2.78.1 that should fix this issues. Once we've thoroughly tested it and confirmed that it works, I'll update the version here.
 
Keep coming back to me with bugs and suggestions!

Sounds good! We will hopefully get our guys on and give it a good test over the weekend.

Hey, I'm a member of UKGZ a small group of like minded gamers.
We host our own dedicated server, currently hosting Ahoyworlds domination.
Good work guys
See you on the battlefield

Are you hosting the game on your own machine? If so, that might be the cause.
 
The fast creation of such large volumes of enemies is what causes the lag when I test the mission on my own machine, but our dedicated server handles the load fine.
 
On a less helpful but more on-topic note, 2.76 is looking pretty good so far. We've introduced a personal UAV into the mix.

Hi,


Born in 1989, i'am a 23 years old french guy (sorry in advance for my possible spelling mistakes).
 
I knew your site thanks to your server coop30 of arma 3. In fact i play at arma with friends since DayZ (but i dont play Minecraft). I like it because, actually, it's the most realistic war game and this is the game that is closest to my passions: the reenactment and the roleplay.


Hope to see you on the field/game!



Regards.

Updated to 2.75. Added quite a few nice little additional features. Spectator script, load-outs and boats (both BLUFOR and OPFOR) will be coming in 2.8.

Hello CoNnEcToR (and everyone else who's been looking at this page)!
 
As razgriz said, we've had a big Ahoy World meet-up this weekend so most of the admins have been offline, but we're back monitoring and developing the mission now.
 
The parameters we have at the moment are editable once choosing a role in the mission (there's a small button labelled Parameter in the top-right of the screen) and are as follows:
Time of Day (choose the hour you wish to start) Weather Preset (choose between Sunny, Cloudy, Stormy and Overcast) AO Size (100 - 1,000m diameter) Number of enemies that can be present in the AO and still have it captured (1 - 10) Number of 10-man squads patrolling the AO (1 - 16) Number of 10-man squads defending the AO (1 - 16) Number of 4-man fire teams patrolling the AO (1 - 16) Number of 4-man motorized infantry squads patrolling the AO (1 - 16) We can add more of these if you let us know what you want.
 
For now, I believe Ahoy World is running a stable 2.74 version of the map. Because of the meet-up, I haven't had time to fully test the version, but as soon as I know that it works consistently I'll post it here. Carry on providing us with suggestions and let us know that you're using our map! It's fantastic to hear that players and servers from around the world are benefitting from the map we've developed and we always like to know how we can make it better.

Nice shout, don't need to be so paranoid we're being hacked. When i get some time off ill look at those addon keys to add if i get permission of course

Updated to 2.7. Read changelog for details.

The reason why we are spawning as seagulls
If you have been playing on the MP servers over the last few hours or so you will have noticed that you may have been spawning as a seagull at the start of missions.


The facts

This issue started roughly when the latest development build (0.5.102980 dev) was made available and is widespread over a lot of servers.
logic dictates that this is going to be an engine bug not some script kiddie or hacker.
Fortunately there is a Server admin Skype channel, where this type of information can be discussed relatively quickly.
The general conscenus of this channel is:

If a client running the latest development build of arma3 connects to a server, they will cause a bug to occur which spawns players as seagulls.

So to re-iterate, this is highly suspected of being an engine bug nothing more.
BIS are aware of this and i would suspect this will be a priority for them when they start work in the morning


There are rumours that this is caused by cheaters/hackers/script kiddies.
If you don't know how to prove these suspicions or cannot prove them please don't spread malicious rumours which does nobody any good.


If you don't know how to run the Development version and want too, this is how you do it

1) Open Steam
2) Select library
3) Right click on ArmA3 & select properties
4) Select Beta tab
in the drop down box, select "development-Development Build"
ArmA3 will then automatically update if it isnt running

If in the future you want to revert to a stable build, simply undo the option and the ArmA3 version will roll back to the last stable

So I'm going to guess as long as the people we have allowed in don't op for this we should be okay untill it's fixed?

Cheers for that dude. 

If you're looking for people to play with just ask on here!
