Optimized is the word I wanted to hear!

yeah mate, vehicles, indoors, interface and generally all movements feel finally "well coded" if I can say that.

Happy. Really. This is not a remake or just OpFlashpoint 1.9.2.6 !

That said, the map, the structures resemble the series, even the A.I. which was laughable when I stole a jeep from a base. (Vehicle Showcase map)

Multiplayer no tested, populated servers were password servers.

Damn I gotta get 50$ quick!

 

[erixx]

hehehe, you know how to do that. I wanted the über-supporter version but finally opted for the cheapest alpha(+beta+final) version, just 25 €, not bad. Ah, and it runs smooth on my hardware on high settings; way better than Arma2 and Iron Front 44, btw)

 

[Killer_Rubber_Ducky]

I wanted the supported edition but the BIStudio servers kept crashing on me so I snagged the Digital Delux off steam. Dwnling now

Done installing playing now. I am on TS. We need a channel for this too.

 

[AsRock]

The store is back open although they want $91 for the supporter ed, dam that's a little rich for me lol.

So far pretty good experience. Working on figuring out the newish editor. Trying to make a water assault mission or something.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

I am pretty much loving Arma III! but it makes my 680 choke with everything cranked up, so i did something totally impulsive and ordered another 680 for SLi so i can run the game in maxed when it finally comes out....

Yeah, Im stupid. and i am well aware 680 SLi is overkill for a 23" screen but with the SLi sorted out I can focus on getting a 27" screen before christmas.

I just got the game(alpha), my god this game is amazing!, still alpha and it already runs better than Arma 1 and 2! I can't wait for the final product!

I'm trying to create a mission. I am working out the kinks. Can someone suggest a simple mission for me to create? There already exists one to escape the island, and one where you kill 3 officers. Having someone suggest a mission would make it simpler for me to create it as I will have a solid goal and can envision it as it were. ^_^

If any thing like arma2 editor there is nothing really simple about it, i did notice they completely changed the interface but for the short time i tried it you still had to select 1 unit or group and double left click the map and select what you want and presuming that it's like arma 2 editor you have to select each unit to tell it if it's playable or not.

You already found one of the best sites which is Armaholic there is others of course but it's been a year since i played arma 2 never mind the editor which i made a simple mission which a lot hated as most just wanted to run gun shit and i made it so you could not do that lol.

And from my experiences with the editor it's only gets easier when you have learned it and if like the past ones there be a shit load to learn.

Anyways better get of bed 3am in the morning lol..

Well, right now, I'm just looking for mission ideas. I can make a mission I just need to have some good ideas that could work. I am trying to figure out how to call CAS and Mortar w/o SOFLAM.

Well there is a mortor spawn in the 1st mission you could look that mission up and try to use a .pbo extractor.

Maybe the .pbo file called missions_f.pbo is the one but not sure
Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\Addons

Like this one

And the guy who made it and his site, he's really good in what he does although not sure if he's going be working on A3.

If the extractor does work and that is the file it might be tricky to even find the mortor script still..

Best bet might be to look at Arma 2 scripts and stuff on what your after they MIGHT just work although on each release they do tend to change to some degree.
