Alwarren added a comment to T174656: M48A3 Patton tank has duplicate proxy triangle in the gunner position.

I just tried and I cannot reproduce it anymore. It might have been a one-time glitch, or an update fixed it, but it is definitely no longer there.
Sorry for the false alarm.

Alwarren added a comment to T127823: [Tanks DLC] Incorrect vision mode info in vehicles.

Can confirm. MFD sources "visionMode" and "flirMode" are using the observer's modes (i.e. with head-mounted NVG's visionMode switches to NVG), probably because the MFD (unlike the PIP screen) does not have a reference to the turret and cannot take such. Proposal would be to add turret[] possibilities to the MFD's so they can use the right turret optic as reference. That could also clean up the dreadful sourceIndex selection for ammo and ammoFormat sources.

Well AI gets stuck because they have trouble turning around on the road. I have, however, seen the same problem multiple times in missions. Every time a convoy gets attacked, they try to get back to their point of origin. That behavior is pretty consistent.

But whats stopping you from making some notes of the settings or taking a
screenshot, it's really easy compared to many other things that need to be done
to create a good mission.

You would have to do this every time you test. In the lifestream, someone said that if Arma had an external editor and you have to wait until the game starts up, he wouldn't have gone into making missions. This is a similar case. Every time you test, you need to reset all the parameters, since AI behaviour and player perception changes dramatically depending on weather.

Why don't you take a screenshot of the weather settings (it is only one

screenshot and recover the weather settings? I think, it is not that hard :)

Why don't you use a text editor to edit your missions? I think, it is not that hard :)

But Miller certainly has its own head model, and from what I could see the Arma 2 characters arent't very different from the Arma 3 characters, config-wise.

I haven't ever tried if a setIdentity on a predefined character from Arma 2 worked; it might be that there the selection of identity was "final".

But you will know better than me :)

Alwarren added a comment to T83080: (feature request) allow the usage of weapon memory points for alternate sight.

*sigh* Do you even know what I am talking about?

I *am* a modder. I did, among other things, the CUP Weapon pack. In that pack, we have a number of eastern weapons like AK's, Bizon, Saiga12k and others that all use Dovetail side mounts. Dovtail mounts are made in such a way that you can still peek underneath them to see the weapon's original iron sights. These optics do not have a backup sight, since the original weapon's iron sight fills that purpose.

Now, the problem is, a Dragunov is very different from an AK-74 or a Bizon. Putting a memory point in the memory LOD of the optic is out of question, it will never align properly with the iron sights of the weapon. Therefore, it would be nice if modders could specify that the original 'eye' point of the weapon's memory LOD could be used instead, making such sights usable AND accurate.

I hope that makes my point clear

May 10 2016, 11:25 AM · Arma 3
Alwarren added a comment to T83080: (feature request) allow the usage of weapon memory points for alternate sight.

Of course you can, but by that argumentation, you don't need backup sight. I don't want to have to remove the PSO-1 from an AK all the time I go into close quarter, it's neither realistic nor practical.

And I am referring to mod weapons because there are no Dovetail mounts in the base game, last time I checked.

However, when I press Alt-Tab once then press LWin-Tab to bring up the list of windows, I see a "Viewer Search" window pop up from time to time in the list. When I click that while it is visible, the viewer connects and shows the correct model.

This is under Windows 10.

Alwarren added a comment to T77976: Weapon and grenade switch controls should first bring up the weapon-HUD to show the current selection before changing it.

This needs to change. As it is now, you can only determine what your firemode WAS; not what it currently IS. You have to scroll through all the fire modes to get back to the one you may have wanted.

The alternative ("check the fire lever") doesn't work if:

  • it is dark
  • the lever is non-functgional
  • the lever is not visible (as is the case with most bullpup weapons)
  • The UGL is selected. Some weapons flip up the GL sight when the UGL is selected, but that requires an actual flip-up sight (as opposed to the quadrant sight most of the default weapons use).

In other words, there is no way to find out what your weapon's fire mode is at any given moment, other than going Heisnberg on it.

Things get even worse with grenades. Because of this ticket http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=9957 cycling through all your grenades might not be an option AT ALL. Let's look at the squad leader:
Frag grenade -> IR Grenade -> Smoke Shell (White) -> Smoke Shell (Green) -> Smoke Shell (Blue) -> Smoke Shell (Orange) -> Chemlight (green)

That's 7 different grenades, and you have to make sure you don't accidentally throw one of them.

Bottom line, there HAS to be a way to check your current fire mode/grenade selection. Since the display fades out, there MUST be a way to get it back to look at it. All arguments about the HUD not being available in real life are void, there are possibilities in real life that you don't have in the game (like, feeling the lever, knowing what grenade you have in your hand, or knowing if your hand is on the normal or the UGL trigger). As it is now, it is only possible to find out vital data through a prolonged process that can cost you your virtual life, and that is IMO an unacceptable situation.

Anyone who downvoted this ticket should actually take the time to PLAY the game.
