Not sure, but can you interact with objects (through action menu) when on a ladder? This would be mandatory for this to work.

NeoArmageddon added a comment to T82052: Terrain Builder generates "tartan" layer masks / Default Satellite file doesn't exist error messages.

Okay, here are our findings from our "Tartan Bug Taskforce". Most stuff by Miro:

  • The Tartan Bug is not a Terrain Builder problem, as terrains created with Visitor3 for ArmA2 suffer from it too (but look as expected in ArmA2 and OA).

These are some of community terrains that show the bug: Fallujah, Podagorsk, Aliabad, Thirsk / Thirsk Winter, Afghan Village,Celle, Hazar-Kot Valley, Reshmaan Province, MBG_Nam. Also BIS terrains like Porto and Proving Grounds show the bug too when directly loaded in A3.

  • The tartan bug is a mipmap problem in the sat texture. You don't see the bug on the sat texture when zoomed in the A3 2D map/editor or at the distance where detail texture is blended into sat texture (in A3 and buldozer). You see the tartan bug only if zoomed out in the 2D map or in the distance ingame and in buldozer (for example when flying or looking down from a hilltop).
  • The bug is an engine problem as the mipmaps in the paas generated by TB are correct.
  • High resolution sat textures suffer more from this bug than low resolution sat textures. When using very low resolution (10m/px) nobody has encountered the tartan bug yet, where using high resolution sat images (1m/px) often show the tartan bug.

With this info I suspect a simple error in the mipmap selection in the engine itself. Maybe something simple like an variable overflow or faulty rounding of numbers when the textures/layers are large?

On the image uro posted, it looks like two different mipmap resolutions are loaded for the same image and stitched together.

NeoArmageddon added a comment to T81961: #login has no effect on dedicated server.

On further investiagation: Looks like the only password that does not work, is the password we used before the update. Caching issue?

NeoArmageddon added a comment to T81961: #login has no effect on dedicated server.

I attached a fresh rpt (with a failed #login attempt) and the corresponding server config and server log.

I also noticed that the word "password" and a 7-letter password only containing the characters a,b,c,1,2,3,4 also works. So it may not only be a problem with the length, but also the characters in a password.

And BTW: The server is a Win2008 dedicated server. Just saying because Joris wrote in the Spotrep that they know about the password issue with linux servers.

Ours has 7 letters. Will try with 5 later today.

Edit: 5 letter password works

  1. We had Battleye disabled while testing (passworded server).
  2. It's definitly not a problem with one single client as multiple people (different IP) tried to log in and everyone got refused.
  3. My IP and the whole tracert changed since yesterday ;)

And the IP the server shows for the player with the wrong password is indeed the local home network IP if the players adapter.

NeoArmageddon added a comment to T81952: Arma Crash by Control ctrlsetmodel "";.

Maybe I have some additional information regarding this ticket. I was building a 3D preview for my Map Builder editor put people complained about random crashes. Looks like some models, like the (shiny) fuelstation crashes ArmA3. Also some people reported, that they have random crashes with previewing objects that worked before. So I conclude that invoking ctrlsetmodel often with different models can crash A3 too.
So ctrlsetmodel has probably two problems: Some objects crash A3 and switching often crash A3.

Anyone can reproduce this error by installing Map Builder 0.7 and quickly go through the objects library or directly go to fs_pump (or other fs_*** objects).

NeoArmageddon added a comment to T71766: Crash to desktop for all players in server upon starting mission, JIP works fine.

Definitly not fixed. Also it's not related to clicking the continue button (Since the ArmA2 bug where the gear menu is not working, when somebody clicked "Continue", we don't use this button anymore). Thus clients also crash, when only admin clicked continue to start the game.

NeoArmageddon added a comment to T71766: Crash to desktop for all players in server upon starting mission, JIP works fine.

I did have a friend crash once under the same circumstances on the latest patch but otherwise it was fine. If it's not fixed it has at least been reduced

We had a little LAN party last weekend and tested the patch immediatley with three players. Doln, you are right: We also noticed the crashes seems to occure less often. I also think this CTD happens more often on a dedicated environment, than client hosted games (but on client hosted games the host CTD more than other connected clients).

NeoArmageddon added a comment to T71766: Crash to desktop for all players in server upon starting mission, JIP works fine.

This ticket definitly needs a higher priority and severity! A reproduceable CTD for all players in MP with a high probability should be fixed ASAP.

We tested this issue and it seems to be related to empty slots (slots without player and AI). If all slots are full with either players and/or AI, we haven't encountered a CTD.

NeoArmageddon added a comment to T63879: setUnconscious may be buggy.

I am also interested in this command. At the moment I have to script mit own "lifestates" with setvariable.

It would also be great to change lifestate to return an array of states. A unit can be unconscious AND injured. Or alive AND unconscious (but obviously not dead andhealty :D).

NeoArmageddon added a comment to T62597: Infomation about the version, the players and the expansions in the server browser are misaligned..

Heyho, I made a little addon to temporary fix this issue (it's very annoying if you are looking for a patched server).

You can find the Addon in this thread: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?149687-AT-UI-Fixing-quot-Require-quot-field-in-serverbrowser

And here some further infos on this UI bug:
There is an unused RscText for "time left" at horizontal position y = "20.8 * ..."
Both CA_ServerDetailVersion and CA_ServerDetailVersionRequired are on the same height of y = "21.5 * ...
Setting one of them to y = "20.8 * ..." fixes first problem.

The headlines of the players and expansion frame are not aligned like the left frame (left frame at 16.3, other at 16.2).
Setting CA_ServerDetailExpansion and CA_ServerDetailPlayers at
y = "16.3 * ..." solves the overlapping headlines

NeoArmageddon added a comment to T58530: Main menu UI messed up on NVidia Surround with three monitors.

I can confirm this and uploaded a pic of the main menu.
My FOV Settings:
fovTop=0.75;
fovLeft=4;
tripleHead=1;

And Resolution:
fullScreenWidth=5760;
fullScreenHeight=1080;

This settings works great with NVidia Sourround in ArmA2:OA. In A3 those will mess up the UI as seen in the picture.

NeoArmageddon added a comment to T58483: TrackIR causes me to aim down or up constantly (only if deadzone > 0).

Turning deadzones off is not a solution. The problem persists: TrackIR with deadzone combination is broken.

Also: With small aiming-deadzones the issue appears less often. With max. deadzone is the player instant moves his head up or down.
