You don't need them to play, they are optional. It is up to you if you download them, you can play without them.

I know buddy I was just commenting on the discussion of adding those said mods, AiA for example. Not the client side? only ones e.g JSRS
 
These mods using AiA etc use custom launchers which do it all for the plebs. Most still won't know how to launch with specific mods.
 
The mods shown in markers post was just what he has in his folder doh. He was just showing people an easy way to add the mods the server does run. Don't think randall would add mods you have to download to play. Still, would love to play a decent PvP mission that was infantry based only.

Hi guys i agree, the lack of comms is killing it for me too ! Unfortunately i was not really playing tonight as i had stacks of work to do :( however this afternoon i will be sorting a number of requested bit out so if any one fancies helping and suggesting then jump on the ts later and any inout will be helped.

With reference to PvP this server probably wont be PvP u less the numbers are there as it was intended as a invade server. I personally quite like the team effort that invade provides but u could setup another server for or change it if the numbers dictate.

If any one wants mods please send me bikeys and i will add them. As long as they dont fivr you an imfair advantage :)

Ok, in case anyone doesn't know how to run mods with A3 or A2 even. Here is a short tutorial that will get you up and running in moments.

First of all we need Arma3 Sync, or any other launcher. Get A3 sync from here


To download your mods use play with six, get it from here.

You do not need to register to download mods.

1. Create a Mod folder, it does not need to be one the same drive as your A3 install
2. Fire up play with six, go into the settings and direct the download path to your mod folder. It should auto find your A3 install, although we wont use it to launch A3.
3. Either browse the recommended mods via the Play w 6 browser, search for name, or browse through all the supported mods.
4. Create a collection on the main mod screen, you can see it in the image below. Then for each mod you want to install, click the add to active collection icon to the right of the name (small folder icon with + sign).




5. Once you have all your mods chosen, click install, bottom left. The launch icon changes to install when mods are waiting to be installed.

6. Fire up A3 sync and goto the 3rd tab along, Launcher Options.


The options I have chosen are pretty standard ones. The launcher should find you A3 install, if not just browse to it as standard.

7. Goto the second tab along, addon options, very simply hit the + icon, browse to your mod folder and click ok.


8. The main screen, this is where everything is chosen from. Tab 1 from the left, Addons. Once you go to this screen after choosing your mod folder as above. You should see a list of your mods available to use down the left hand side. If not, then hit refresh. I always have mine as a list as in the image below.

Now, on the right hand side, right click anywhere that is blank, and Add Group. Try to keep them organised, ie sound, vehicle, maps etc. Next step is to drag the @nameofmod folder from the left and drop it onto your group name. Once this is done for all you mods, you can choose to select all by ticking the group, or singular by ticking the mod name.

9. Hit start game and find the server you want via the standard in game browser.

Excuse the typos on the images :).

Don't forget you can get mods from Armaholic or even directly from the BIS forums. Just drop them into your mod folder and they will appear in your launcher list..

Bloody hell, cannot believe they didn't learn a thing from the horrible modding experience we all had to suffer in Arma 2. So more of the same then :|

Well it does not get any easier then download mod, extract mod in A3 folder and then enable it in game....... It is as easy as it can get, same as A2, not sure how much easier you could want it.

Since the native A3 launcher was released there's been rumors (can't remember if it was officially confirmed or not) about it one day automatically downloading mods on joining a server. That to me is the only way low pop niche public servers (and I can't believe I'm going to describe niche like this but by niche I mean anything other than Altis life or Breaking point) will be able to successfully run dependable mods such as weapon/vehicle/map packs without killing off player numbers. Even then some consideration for file size will be needed as not everyone has blazing fast internet connections/patience to wait for something like AiA/RHS to download when they just want to play.

Cannot see it happening for a long while knowing BIS..

Randall, did you get my email last night?
 
Just been having a quick blast. Enjoyed it I haven't played for a few months now as I have a new job and lots of revision during the training to do. Does everyone usually join a squad? The last server I used to play on (capture the island Tigres Blanc) used to do. I
 
Nice to see your server full!

Would be nice when there is a lower amount of players on that there is a limit for vehicles. There was literally 1 man in the AO while the rest were pounding from the air/tanks!
 
Well its the morning after the night before.....and I got a couple of stupid questions which I did not want to bother anyone with last night.

What is the victory condition for capturing the towns, it still appeared to be enemy around when they were being captured?

Is there any variation in the main missions?

I did not see a fast travel option that is present in some of the other mission types where you interact with a flag pole or spawn at a command APC.


Didn't wait longer than 3 mins for a helo pick up last night which was cool.



annnnnnnnnddddd finally is there a version of patrol ops for ARMA 3. That was my favourite almost vanilla exp? Especially liked the version which allowed a 4 vs 1 style PVP ratio element.
