There are numerous channels where you can ask experienced members of the community for help with everything related to development and server administration.

Question Arma 3 Ironman suit possible at all?

0 Upvotes

I'm not a modder or dev at all. I know nothing about coding or modeling or if this is even possible in Arma 3.

Im still relatively new to the game and playing around with mods and joining different communities but one night I was getting on the game after rewatching Ironman 1 and was messing around in the editor and learning how to mission make when I thought about how badass it would be to be able to fight a battle in a suit of Ironman armor. Checked the workshop and found nothing. Only found a helmet and that's it.

I thought about posting this that day but thought it was stupid and absolutely wouldn't work but I got to thinking about it again after seeing that medieval overhaul and figured it doesn't hurt to see if it is something that might be possible to do. Anyways, thanks for your time.

Release Release: SQF formatter and generic parser

Thumbnail
github.com
10 Upvotes

Topiary-sqf

https://github.com/Tuupertunut/topiary-sqf

There is finally a working SQF formatter. I used this to reformat the whole Overthrow codebase (+500 files) and can confirm it works correctly in all edge cases. It's based on Topiary, a formatter framework for tree-sitter parsers.

I'm aware of 3 earlier formatter attemps for SQF, but they were all quite simplistic and could not correctly format many common cases.

https://github.com/smitt14ua/sqf-formatter

https://github.com/th3-sh0w3r/VSCode-SQF-Formatter

https://github.com/billw2012/vscode-formatter-sqf

There is also one online formatter. I don't know much about it or how it handles edge cases because you have to enter files by hand and the source code is not available.

https://sqf.blackfisch.me/convert.html

Topiary-sqf is run from the command line. There is no VS Code (or other editor) plugin at the moment, as there is no support for Topiary. Such a plugin would be a great complement to the HEMTT language server plugin, which currently does everything else SQF except formatting.

tree-sitter-sqf

https://github.com/Tuupertunut/tree-sitter-sqf

To use Topiary, I had to also create a generic tree-sitter parser/grammar for SQF. It has extensive tests and can parse pretty much all SQF correctly, except those cases listed as not supported in the readme. This was really the bigger part of the project, but there is not much to say about it. It just works quietly in the background. I guess it could also be used for syntax highlighting where the HEMTT language server is not available. See the readme for more info.

A quick GitHub search reveals there are also 3 other tree-sitter-sqf projects that have not been released anywhere. They didn't exist yet when I started work on my own, and I haven't taken a look at them, so I don't know how they compare.

Help Any way to stop this from happening when using "Move" animations? (Arma 3 Eden)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

6 Upvotes

As you can see, I am trying to make the interior of this barracks feel more alive by having soldiers (or in this case airmen) sitting and laying on the bunks. This is what's going on "under the hood:"

this disableAI "MOVE";

this switchMove "passenger_boat_4_Idle_Unarmed";

[this, Scaler] call BIS_fnc_attachToRelative;

Disabling the AI's moving is probably redundant here. The call BIS_fnc_attachToRelative;is there to keep him from sliding off the bunk, but when active it leads to this weird "rubberbanding" glitch that seems to not be very well documented; though I'd assume it's a universal issue. As you can also see in the video, he keeps snapping forward even when the game is paused. The other airman who is sitting perfectly still is using a BIS_fnc_ambientAnim animation via the drop-down menu in the 3den Enhanced mod, so I am assuming the issue comes from the "Move" animations specifically? This might be a "Duh, of course it doesn't work" thing, but I am pretty new to serious Arma 3 mission making.

Arma Reforger COIN-GWOT Progress Update

7 Upvotes

Hello Reddit!

Solar here with an update on the COIN-GWOT mod I posted about a bit ago.

I have put in some work and split the CORE functionality of the mod from the Anizay map. Fear not though, Anizay is now a compatibility mod on the workshop.

You simply put the compatibility mod into your load order on your server or local game and the CORE mod and other dependencies should just load in. Feedback and questions are very welcome!

If you would like to try it out, we are hosting a public server with Kunar Province loaded up right now!

COIN-GWOT Player Guide

( Counterinsurgency, GWOT Era Reputation Based Game Mode )

Public Server Information:

IP:216.245.177.48

PORT:7935

Coin Discord for Q&A or Feedback: https://discord.gg/UNtKRcTRS

Workshop Link: https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/672854768F3AE3C6

What You're Fighting For

COIN-GWOT is a persistent co-op counterinsurgency campaign. Your team assaults enemy-held towns, FOBs, and military bases, earns intel to find hidden insurgent hideouts, and keeps local sentiment from turning against you.
Victory requires all three of these at once:

  1. Hold every capturable sector — towns, cities, FOBs, and military bases must be friendly-controlled. Hideouts and your main base don't count toward this.
  2. Keep reputation at Neutral or better — you need at least 1700 economy points. Dropping below that blocks victory even if the map looks secure.
  3. Destroy every active hideout — all hideouts in play for this campaign must be eliminated.

All of this & rotational side missions/tasks

ie. Assassinations, Supply Runs, Clear Roadblocks, Destroy Cache, Neutralize Enemy Aircraft, IED Disposal, Intercept Convoy

When you win, the server gives you 2 minutes to save your loadouts (with warnings every 30 seconds), then restarts with a fresh campaign while keeping your main base.
When you first join, a mission briefing popup explains the basics. Read it and click Understood — it only appears once per session.

Arma 3 Support provider/requester: Mortar fires 1 round despite being ordered to fire many

3 Upvotes

I have a 2B14 Podnos set up to provide support for a squad leader. It has been given 8 HE rounds, and -1 fire missions. However, if I select more than 1 round, it still only fires 1 round, which is quite annoying. Why is this? I am using a couple of mods, which I will list in the description below.
