Been playing for a while and finally decided to join the forum and give some support to the creators.
 
I hope to see you all out there! 😄

Senile here, been playing in EU1 for some time and I just decided to join the forums and check it out 😆

Hello @Gaskit,
 
I've looked into the ban report and logs of events. The repeated ill behaviour, disrespect for the rules and staff has awarded you a ban from both our Arma 3 server and Discord server today. This coupled with the fact that you have been banned previously, but failed to learn any lessons, leads me to the conclusion that both bans are well deserved.
 
To make a long story short, the ban will stand and I recommend you do not re-appeal this ban before a suitable amount of time has past. In the case of a permanent ban I'd say 3 to 6 months.
 
BAN APPEAL UNSUCCSSFUL.

A few of you may know who I am ;). I go by PMCRUGBY in-game but you can call me 'PMC' or 'RUGBY' or 'That Guy' I don't really mind what I'm called. I'm 16 almost 17, live in the south of the UK. I tend to play EU3 and the game nights. Discord is the best place to reach me (as you can see, despite playing on Ahoyworld since January I am only saying Hi now.) I'm down as PMCRUGBY on Ahoyworld's discord or my unique ID is Pat Riss#6969. Hope to see anyone I haven't already met ingame!!

...now try doing it under fire!

Great work explaining this, should really brush up on my maps skills. I'm just way too used to GPS and/or bluefor markers.

Addendum: Keypad‽
 
When you need more precision than the 100 metres a 6-digit grid can provide, you have another option: Keypad, kp.
 
If you play Squad or the old Project Reality, you might have encountered keypads already.
 
The point to the keypad method is immediately apparent when you look down at your keyboard, at least if you have a numpad. Instead of further 10x10 grids for 8 digits, it divides a grid into 9 squares. That's still plenty accurate for navigation, and even for artillery.
 
So why faff about with overlaying grids in the first place? The keypad is an elegant solution. It builds on familiarity with an every-day object. Its problem is as annoying as Apple refusing to use USB on their phones: mixed convention.
 

 
In real-life orienteering, the convention is to use a phone keypad, because unlike us gamers, a soldier will more likely have a radio or sat phone than a keyboard. (It's also what the boy scouts taught me.)
Their numbers start at 1 in the top left and end at 9 in the bottom right.
 
Our numpad starts at 1 in the bottom left and ends at 9 in the top right.
 
So is the flag marker in figures 103-047 kp2 or 103-047 kp8?
 
For the very simple reason that we have a numpad in front of us at all times (unless you're tenkeyless, RIP), most games and gamers teaching gamers will default to the numpad order. When you do use this method, say your grid and numpad [n], instead of keypad.
But you cannot be sure.
 
I would advocate that we familiarise ourselves with the grid system and use 8-digit grids for precision. They feed directly into other gadgets we have available, such as the MicroDAGR.
For artillery, being off by one or two grids at this scale will rarely change the outcome (because field cannon dispersion is about 30 metres).
For navigation, you also orientate yourself by your surroundings and can use communication to pinpoint a location, so again, a couple grids won't do harm.
 
In contrast, mixing up keypad 2 and keypad 8 can mean the other side of a town, topographic feature or minefield.

Hello @Ojciec_Kazimierz,
 
Thank you for your ban appeal. I have reviewed the ban appeal and talked to the admin who banned you. In this case you were banned by LH5, not chicken_no6.
 
You have written a very polite ban appeal and I feel the remorse you express is genuine, due to this I will be reducing your ban to 7 days. I do want to remind you that Ahoy World strives to deliver everything our community members need to enjoy our services fully, including Discord and Team Speak servers, along with the game servers we run. I strongly recommend looking up the information on our forums. Hop on TS hang out and have fun or create a custom channel of your liking.
 
BAN REDUCED TO 7 DAYS

Hey @OcUK-Timo,
 
Welcome to the forums!

Hello @EastonRodgers,
 
You have been banned at the end of May in 2020. The reason for your ban is stated as trolling in the form of questionable behavior toward fellow players and racism when you joined the server as FENRIR playing as part of unit [1488] sporting a Nazi swastika as the unit tag. Judging by the effort of creating a unit and using the unit tags including graphics I must conclude some effort was made specifically to display the Nazi symbology. 
 
I'm sure I do not need to point out that this breaks several of the Ahoy World rules, but I will anyway.
 
I cannot spot any sign of remorse, indication of growth as a person since the ban or even a promise to play by the rules in the future which begs the question, why should you be unbanned?

Step 1)
Download the HTML below to somewhere easily accessible (I recommend downloading it to your desktop as we will need to drag and drop it into the Arma 3 launcher.)
 
Arma 3 Preset AW Frontlines Update.html
 
Step 2)
Open your Arma 3 Launcher, and drag the HTML file into the mods section in the launcher. The Launcher will then automatically start downloading the required mods.
 

 
Step 3)
Once the mods have finished downloading, we now need to create the preset we are going to use every time we launch ARMA with the Frontlines modset. Luckily, the launcher allows you to use the same HTML we used before, to create a preset that already has the required mods we need selected.
 
In the mods section of the launcher, navigate to the top right tab that says preset. At the bottom, click the import button, and select the HTML you downloaded in step one, a new preset should now be created with the required mods for Frontlines. You can now delete the HTML file, as it will no longer be needed.
 

 
Step 4)
The next step is to install the TFAR radio plugin for Teamspeak. You can locate the TS plugin within the TFAR mod folder. A guide to help you through this step can be found here
 
 
Step 5)
Now we have finished downloading the mods to join AWE Frontlines. We can now launch ARMA and connect by searching "ahoyworld" in the server filters, or by using direct connect and inputting the details below:
 
IP: 116.202.224.207
Port : 2302
 
You must also be connected to Teamspeak to join the AWE server, please connect using the following Teamspeak address:
ts.ahoyworld.net
 
 
If you have any questions, or you are still having issues in joining AWE, do not hesitate to contact a member of staff and they will be able to assist you in any issues you may be having when trying to connect to our AWE Frontlines server.
 
 
 

Vehicle respawn script got some love just now:
 
- Valuable assets with a respawn timer greater than 5 minutes will no longer be deleted, instead, they'll be moved back to their spawnpoint.
- Vehicles will now have a 5 minute grace period after abandoned, before they're respawned/moved
- Vehicles close to base with players within 10 meters (filling inventory etc.) will never despawn
 
We might have to tweak this a bit the coming versions ....

Friendly vehicles will not despawn as long as there is at least 1 bluefor player with in 500 meters of the vehicle. If this was not the case all the vehicles would be littering th emap, denying the players back at base vehicles. 

Today I can announce that Discord Rich Presence has been added to the optional client side mods list for EU 1 & EU 3/AWE.
All available client side mod posts will be updated momentarily.
 
Discord Rich Presence: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1493485159
 
This tiny mod will allow you to show off to the world through your discord game activity bar that you are playing on AhoyWorld servers, examples below. 
 
 
However this will only work if you have your discord open and game activity setting enabled (this is on by default)
 
 
 
 
For mission makers I have attached a updated version of the AW Gamenight Framework that includes the required code for this mod to fully work. If you already have a mission or two premade and would rather add the code directly to your mission PM myself and I can send it to you with directions. (this will also be added to the AW Framework event post)
 
VR_Template_Feb_20.vr.zip
 
 
This mod is but a small way to show how much you are enjoying our servers, so if you are an avid discord user and want to show some support I highly recommend enabling this mod when you play
 
Regards, 
 
LH5

Just a FYI, the ban will be automatically lifted in 157 minutes (from time of posting). Exactly 3 days since the 3 day ban was applied.

Hi, again, @ChubboSlav,
 
You are right it's been pretty much a year, again. I hope you have learned to better handle situations where people annoy you during your ban and I certainly wish you will behave in accordance to 1.1.1 of the AhoyWorld rules in the future. 
 
This time however I will say that it is your third and final chance, so be mindful of how you conduct yourself on AhoyWorld in the future....and welcome back, again.
