Thanks to all devs for making this update! Awesome! :)

The macbook is very convenient for personal use and work, its minimalism, screen, convenience and aesthetics I like it

Well, I'm not quite so sure about your pessimism - although it seems, by look at https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Description.ext a simple mission config is not able to override base config.
But that's exactly why this feature request is about: The Van_02 (to avoid confusion with the "small Truck" named Van_01 for whatever reason) comes with what I'm asking for:

1. a simple switch to change between additional cargo vs additional infantry
2. can load cargo as well as can be loaded as cargo
3. can be slingloaded

All I request is to extent this function already in the game to both the Truck and the Offroader - or, what would even be cooler but I guess way more difficult: allow us to override the VehicleTransport config in Description.ext.

I know this is about Mac - hence sorry for hijacking - just wanted to point out: A3 works great with current Proton 9 and Linux 6.8 - I guess your guys decision to drop native and rely on Proton was the right move - as I noticed a bit of increased dev activity and release cycle guess by the freed up resources.
As for all you Mac folks: Although I won't say Mac isn't a good platform for gaming - but its support is even more limited than Linux - why you even use it for gaming, tho?

*sigh*
That's the kind of topic like those over on the Arch forums shen people try to run Arch on 10+ year old hardware: Get it - your hardware is too old - upgrade your hardware!
A3 always was and sometimes still is the Crysis of the 2010s: It is unoptimized as hell to cause even beefy hardware to perform like crap.
An example: I ran a R9 290X - one of the high-end cards of its time - got roughly 30 fps ob mid settings - upgraded to a R570 - still only managed to get unstable 60 - it takes a freaking xt 7700 and a 5600 to get me stable 90 fps on high - with cranking to very high tanks me back to below - and all that on just 1080p!
Same goes with loading times: As I'm on Linux and ZFS most is cached into RAM - but it still forever on first start to load it all. And A3 is like gta V o that matter: big simple archives to aid with high sequential reads. Ever played killing floor 2 with all its billion of 1kb assets? Enable ANY anti virus on windows and your back at the 80s when we used tape with our C64

@Photograph
Thants great.
I was wondering how do you install mods and maps in Mac?

I turned it off Western Sahara Creator DLC and logged on to the server. Thak you

No, this server doesn't allow this CDLC, therefore it should be disabled.

EDIT: glanced too quickly, see comment below (it's the reverse).

Bro, I was able to download the beta update, now friend is the problem

Can you upload a photos when you add the code then another photo when you click “check code”

99% of the way through the boot process, it says "disk write error."

Hey man.
Open steam library,
Right click on Arma then properties.
Click Betas, type MacUpdate216RC in Private Betas
Click Check Code. Then it will download

@DnA How do I download it? MacUpdate216RC

can send two note:
If this sounds must triggers when player swiming so it won't work, on unit swim only water sounds appers

• class SoundBreathSwimming

I thought it was in the original post but after re-reading it I seemed to have missed it.

"when you watch remote players" yeah you are moving your camera into them.
I assume local camera state will reflect theirs, and as I'm checking local camera state, it will probably also trigger isADS then. But only while spectating.

It sure isn't impossible

Will it work for players who haven't downloaded and enabled it? No? Then this is a problem, as it limits players from connecting to servers that use this mod.

It sure isn't impossible - I built a simple config-mod with just this and got what I want:

Should be fixed yes. Please try the latest dev branch update and report back.

that sound seems local only - no idea if intentional or by design. should be easy to fix

it seems most infantry sounds are local only - no idea if intentional or by design. should be easy to fix

this was fixed, right?

I have tested on the latest profiling branch using both BI and ACE arsenal - seems to have been resolved. Thank you very much!

Hello @Bis!

If the commander orders a medic to treat a wounded AI, then that wounded AI stops like a statue and will wait stands at full height without moving! During combat, this makes his behavior unnatural.

Please make sure so that the wounded AI-person awaiting treatment does not stand at full height during the battle, especially in combat mode, under enemy bullets.
It would be great if he expected to crouch or even lie down on the ground in a special animation.

Well - according to https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Vehicle_in_Vehicle_Transport it seems possible to just add the VIV capability to new and existing vehicles.

This is impossible without updating vehicle configs either by updating the game or enabling mods.

Well - according to https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Vehicle_in_Vehicle_Transport it seems possible to just add the VIV capability to new and existing vehicles. In fact: using the config viewer in the editor the vehicles that can load others do have a VehicleTransport section which contains a Carrier node. And although I wasn't able to confirm it my guess is that most loadable cargo shares some common inherited VehicleTransport/Cargo section.

We've opened a RC-Branch for Mac 2.16. Its Steam beta access code is: MacUpdate216RC
It should work fine already, so if you're keen to get back multiplayer compatibility, switch over.

test next dev please

What proposal you're talking about?

Found thing for c) scenario class SoundBurning
F3953191 ← repro scenario, start it as SP or hosted MP, take closer to AI on campfire flame, you are able to hear burning sounds from them;
But if launch it on dedicated server AI will not play burning sounds more.
see YT video how to repro

You don't need to put this config sample anywhere since my proposal has not been implemented. If it is implemented, as I wrote, you will be able to add such configs to mission config.

Well, unfortunately I'm not quite sure where to put this or how to load this. Can you give me some hint on how to add this?

I think it would be nice if configuration of ViV transport functionality was also read from mission config. This will allow mission makers to add ViV transport functionality to vehicles that don't support it (whose models will likely never be updated), overwrite, or add extra configuration of ViV transport to vehicles that support it.
A possible configuration for Van might look like this:

class CfgVehicleInVehicleTransport
{
    class C_Van_01_transport_F
    {
        class Cargo
        {
            ...
        };
        class Carrier
        {
            ...
        };
    };
};

Revision: 151680

Yes Kju-Pscene.

The whole knowsAbout-reveal system is a bit of a mess unfortunately.

Or maybe call it setCustomEntityInfo by analogy with getEntityInfo, getModelInfo commands

I'd like to also ask for custom picture.

This issue is still present with 2.16.151618.

After searching I found the CfgVehicle pages - and they list the Offroad (covered) / (comms) as VIV-compatible. So I loaded up the editor and played around with them - and was able to fit quite a lot of small crates and even the barrels into them. Also: Although the page lists them as "Cannot be transported" I'm able to load a stuffed Offroad onto a HEMTT Flatbed.
TLDR: The base mechanis I'm asking for are already in the game - but only to a very limited subset - and without actions for loading cargo (currently one can only load "vehicles" as in "cars" - but not as in "crates").
Adding those "loading" actions in a rather generic way seems simple - but it would be nice if this would be added to the game itself without having to script it.
In addition my base request still is: Please also enable it for the regular Offroader (as there's no logic behind why an enclosed vehicle can load cargo while it's not enclosed base model can't) and the small Truck. Maybe it would be possible to have both at the same time: infantry and cargo with shared spots.
Also also: Please add a way to somehow chose the spot a cargo is added to. Currently the auto-add feature aligns the cargo from front to back and in the middle. Playing around with multiple cargo at once there's clearly space for adding two Supply/Uniform boxes.
Another example is when one adds a Basic Weapons first and then a Supply Box the later added supply box turns 90 - but if you remove the first added the supply flips back and you can't re-add the basic.
It's so a nice feature - and as it's part of the game for so long it's sad to see it never got any polish over the years.

isADS would be https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/cameraView == "GUNNER"? If so then I don't think I can do that. That wouldn't work for AI's which don't have camera, and would also be a problem in MP.
That would always return the state of the players camera. I could check if the unit holding the weapon == cameraOn. In all other cases it would always be zero?
You'd have to combine it with isselected anim source, to make sure you don't animate when player is in ADS somewhere else.

I'm pretty sure that remote units camera state is broadcasted because it changes for you automatically when you watch remote players with _remotePlayer switchCamera "INTERNAL" it follows whatever camera view that player is having on their client.

That would be same spot as bipod_length, bipod, bipod_mounting, revolving, reloadmagazine sources.

Added in 2.18.
But not sure if we will do the required config changes in base game.
Requires this
