Title: ARMA III
Post by: kdoo12 on September 01, 2014, 07:52:38 PM: I've been having some great games of ARMA III recently, for example I took a submarine and surrounded an enemy Island base got a few kills and then destroyed their spawn beacon. I Held the island for some time but ultimately I was fortunate to have held it for so long. Soon after they regrouped and attacked me with choppers and boats. There was only one winner then, anyways with a few TiG members we could have taken their base for good, All I needed was a spawn beacon and a few TiG members for support. I think all the DayZ SA guys should really give this game a bash as it has an awful lot to offer.

Arma3 is on my wishlist and from watching vids and new mods coming out for it tis looks a beast of a game..

Post by: kdoo12 on September 01, 2014, 09:01:23 PM: Remember we played ARMA II mods? Well this is much better, just teamed up with 2 guys to do a mission and we came across a heli hovering a few feet off the ground, went over to investigate and there was no one in it, disconnected maybe. So we just jumped in and took it, when we got close to another mission we jumped out and locked it, silly mistake as we could not open it again. Just got disconnected there, while in a fire fight with my two comrades, come on soon and we have a game!

Post by: kdoo12 on September 02, 2014, 07:27:52 PM: Very similar to DayZ Eric, the Character interface is a bit tricky but you get use to it.

Title: Re: ARMA III
Post by: [GIT]Fairy on October 28, 2014, 06:42:33 AM: Either of the .pho files depending on the map you want. I'd say the files are up there already though.
Title: Re: ARMA III
Post by: [GIT]Fairy on October 29, 2014, 12:43:01 PM: Server going great, persistence working fine thanks to Robs hard work. Have raised a ticket about the server crashing due to CPU usage. We can update to 50 man with the money we have in the kitty? What do you think, I think 50 man might bring more players in.

Also we can easily go into the mission file and tweak, we can go though the changes we can make some night.
Title: Re: ARMA III
Post by: [GiT]mindphuck on October 29, 2014, 03:20:46 PM: sounds good. might as well go the 50 players :)

Post by: [GIT]Fairy on November 10, 2014, 04:38:18 PM: Got this reply after asking yesterday morning at 9AM to upload our new mission file. Fuck you Multiplay....

Hello Dermot,

Could you please provide us with a link from a web page or forum topic that has information about this upload? We ask for this so we can keep our database up-to-date and provide other customers with this information upon request. A simple reply to this email with the link would be great.

Also, have you checked that this plugin isn't already available through Clanforge? To find the Addons list, you just need to follow these steps:

- Log in to Clanforge

- Click on your server name, or the small blue "Manage" button to the right of your server name

- Go to "Profiles" on the left side menu, and click "Addons" from the pop-out submenu

From there, you can either use the search bar at the top of the addons list, or manually search the addons list yourself.

You can view this ticket on our support portal, here: https://support.multiplay.co.uk/support/tickets/1434684

If you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Regards,
Michael 'Slawter' Assis

No fuck off and do what I asked you to, utter morons!!!!!!!!!!!

Title: Re: ARMA III
Post by: [GIT]Fairy on November 11, 2014, 10:26:04 AM: They still have not uploaded the mission file. The correct mission file is called :

TiG_a3wasteland_v1.0b.stratis.pbo

Don't add any other one to the server guys unless its called this exactly.
Title: Re: ARMA III
Post by: [GIT]Fairy on November 11, 2014, 03:13:49 PM: Right just about to give up on this altogether. They seem to be purposely not uploading the file, why, I haven't a clue. Its either them being smartarses or they are purely inept. Your guess is as good as mine.
Title: Re: ARMA III
Post by: [GIT]Fairy on November 11, 2014, 03:24:08 PM: Finally 8 emails later.......

Post by: [GiT]Hellrazer on November 11, 2014, 07:49:24 PM: What do I need to start playing Arma 3 lads?

Is it vanilla or is there mods you are running?
Title: Re: ARMA III
Post by: [TiG]the_syco on November 11, 2014, 08:20:00 PM: Buy ARMA3. Link it into Steam. Steam will download the updates, etc.

Then join the server. The Wastelands mod is server side, so ARMA3 will download whatever is needed fromthe server. You don't need to install anything :)

Also, get a room where you can use TeamSpeak :mrgreen:
Title: Re: ARMA III
Post by: [GIT]Fairy on January 24, 2015, 12:33:09 AM: Wasteland for A3 is now running on the old Chernarus Map. Launcher and instructions at https://forums.arma.su/forum/main-category/main-forum/17995-ws-launcher-beta (https://forums.arma.su/forum/main-category/main-forum/17995-ws-launcher-beta) If a few of us get it installed we can give it a go.

Post by: [TiG]the_syco on January 31, 2015, 02:03:06 AM: Do I put @AllInArmaTerrainPack and @WSWeapons into "..\Program Files (x86)\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Arma 3" or where?
Title: Re: ARMA III
Post by: [TiG]ABE on January 31, 2015, 09:16:08 AM: i put them into the expansions folder
Title: Re: ARMA III
Post by: [TiG]the_syco on January 31, 2015, 01:57:29 PM: The launcher assumes my files are at
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3
rather than
F:\Program Files (x86)\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\Arma 3
so can't use the launcher it'd seem :/
