Could copy/paste the target line of your shortcut and post a screen of your Arma 2 OA folder?

I got it to work. didnt realize that i had to install it via commander even though steam installed it for me. Is there a building system in this release and is it stable?

[malau]

I loaded up the BAF mission, why is it night ? How can I switch to day time ? I can't even up the gamma to see, it's unplayable ? Do I have to load up LokiLostKeys and spawn in some NVGs, or can I make it day ?

[Rusty_Shackleford]

Does this version have a decent base building system?

[Rusty_Shackleford]

Can someone explain the building system to me.

[Haleks]

Have you watched the video posted in the first thread?
Basically, you just need an "ingredient" (like wire kit), and you 'll be able to pop up the build menu from the scroll menu.

[Rusty_Shackleford]

Thanks, i didnt realize that was a video, i thought it was just a link to the actual mod file.

Random question, is there a reason why the thirst and hunger meter deplete so quickly? I usually have to eat or drink every 10 minutes of playtime or so.

Several users reported that too; right now I don't know what is causing it, but I'll make sure to fix it for the next update.

The last time I played the BAF mission I kind of cheated when I launched and placed my NVG in my backpack so I wouldn't lose them.  ;)

[Rusty_Shackleford]

Any Chance on implementing the epoch build system in factions? it would be exactly what i would want in a single player game.

[Rusty_Shackleford]

Better yet, does anyone know if any of the build recipes are for storage containers that actually hold gear?

[twsmith]

I don't think factions has craftable storage containers.  Personally I just place tents or use damaged vehicles and then mark them on my map as caches.  I tend to be a bit of a hoarder. :)

[Rusty_Shackleford]

Yeah me to on the hoarding. i found 2 tens so far and stuffed them with stuffed backpacks.

Ok i found a few bugs while playing patrol car plus walking zeds on 3.0.2

- No loot or zombie spawns after about 5 hours of playing.
             - tried sleeping in tent numerous times, reloading saves, and flushing vram - nothing worked.
             - could using time dilation while running possibly be the cause?
-is it possible to add a salvage vehicle command to remove certain parts of vehicles for scrap or workable parts?
- flashlights possibly not working, at least for me.
- starting a new game the thirst meter depletes quickly, after about an hour or so of play it returns to normal.
- sleeping for 9 hours is actually sleeping for 25.

Other than that great game. Have tried others but this suits my play style the best with a few exceptions.

I'm working hard on it; lately I've done some optimization work on 2018 and it seems to have fixed this issue. Well at least, nobody reported any problem with v1.3 (yet).

It is - bits of code show that Razor and his team are working on it for DayZ, but they didn't enable it since it is currently a bit glitchy (some parts won't be properly removed from the salvaged vehicles). I might try to modify it so that only specific parts can be salvaged. But the priority right now is to bring all the latest features & fixes I've done in 2018 to Factions.

Most likely an Arma problem : flashlights won't emit any light if it's not night time (after 6 or 7 PM).

Both those issues will be fixed in v3.0.3 : I figured out the thirst problem; and the sleep 25 hours thing is actually a left-over from tests I was running. ^^'

The v3.0.3 should be ready around next week, it should significantly improve a lot of things (the changelog will be quite long...).

[Rusty_Shackleford]

Thanks Haleks,
   Sounds awesome. Also i dont know if anyone reported it but their is no indicator for broken bones. I dont know if thats normal or not. It's not a huge deal its pretty easy top figure out when you can walk. The flashlight thing was weird i tested it throughout the night and nothing.

If your flashlight won't come on, try pointing it either straight up or straight down, then press L.  That's fixed it for me in the past anyway.  And that goes for guns with flashlights too.

IMPORTANT NOTE!

Before I update to v3.0.3; anyone having issues with the loot & zeds not spawning anymore, please send me your Arma2OA.RPT file!
You can find it in "User\AppData\Local\ArmA 2 OA"; "AppData" is a hidden folder, so you might have to change the Windows folder options to display it.

If you want to upload it to a file hosting service, just post the download link in this forum (I check it more often than my mail box).

This should help me nailing this problem for good!
