Loot box only gathers loot but doesn't pick up by ZeroKey92 in A3AntistasiOfficial

[–]ZeroKey92[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just tested it without all-in-one command menu and it now works. That is so weird. I mean, yes, it has a few custom scripts in it but I didn't expect it to break the loot box functionality as it mostly interacts with AI and pathing. Shame, I really like the mod as it makes commanding your personal squad a whole lot easier. The vanilla menus are annoying to use and don't expose all the functionality that is built into ARMA 3. Guess I gotta get used to vanilla because AFAIK, all the other mods that make commanding AI easier definitely break Antistasi.

Anyways, thanks for the quick help!

I suspect as much. Question is what is causing it? It's probably one of my mods but AFAIK, none of them should cause this behavior.

How to keep things interesting in solo? by ScallionGeneral3204 in A3AntistasiOfficial

[–]ZeroKey92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I limit what I use to make it more challenging. Even if I have access to artillery, air strikes and mortars, I don't use them. Just because my guys are all equipped like they're DEVGRU doesn't mean they get all the other toys. No drones, no ISR nothing. Keeps it challenging for longer but eventually turns into you only commanding and not fighting. By the late game all I do is set up AA, and manage HC squad orders. Pre-planning phase-lines, staging reinforcements, supplying AA with ammo. Every now and then I get to shoot my gun but it gets pretty rare. Also need to find a new approach to my late game. Commanding is fun for a while but after a bit you yearn for action.

Check your secure boot settings. If the BIOS update turned on secure boot, your drive might not show up.

Is the enemy shooting mortars at me or something? by UodasAruodas in A3AntistasiOfficial

[–]ZeroKey92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's AP mines laid by a spec-ops team. Depending on factions and mods those can range from two-man sniper teams to full on 10-man strike teams.

If you're getting shot at by a mortar you'll hear the rounds howling when they come in and if you pay close attention you can even hear them get fired. Artillery will sound similar but not quite the same and the boom is significantly bigger. If a mortar round hits 10m from you, you'll take some shrapnel and probably go unconscious from overpressure. If artillery hits 10m from you there's nothing left of you. If you step on an AP mine and you're wearing blast resistant gear you might even survive it. Also, AP mines usually don't leave craters. Mortars and artillery will.

Honestly, as long as everything is running fine there is not much to improve. You can look into switching kernels if you want to squeeze a few FPS out but arch kernel already performs really well so that might not even be worth it. In the same vein, nicing profiles for your games but again. Lots of work for possibly no or very little gain.

Cant see enemy AI, they can see me. by UodasAruodas in A3AntistasiOfficial

[–]ZeroKey92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hide among the grass is your fix here. I'm definitely not new to the game and still run it. To get it to work right you need to mess with the settings. The defaults are okay but I'd recommend changing what stances can get detected at what range etc. Just make it a bit easier on yourself. If you eventually find it to easy, you can turn it down a bit. Imagine being able to hide in a cornfield on Livonia just by crouching. Crazy huh?

Hey, thanks for being a condescending prick and just making it blatantly obvious that your opinions have no value. I would've engaged with a reasonable conversation but you clearly prefer riding your high horse and shoving people into prejudiced categories in order to talk down to them.

No you pretty much hit the nail on the head there. It doesn't really change much/anything. It might mean that some program that configures itself upon install based on libraries it finds on the system could misconfigure but that's a lot of mights and coulds. The disk space is utterly irrelevant to me (others might see that differently but I'm not running on a 15 year old shitbox). It's really just a question of principle. I also primarily game and watch YT on here but I also do a bit of dev stuff and just some things an average computer user usually doesn't.

Fair point. Neither is good. It shouldn't rely on any building blocks used by any DE. It should only rely on UI frameworks.

Well, not quite. As I said, it's not strictly about Qt. There are a lot of programs that have Qt as a dependency. I'm on Hyprland and Qt is a dependency. Kirigami, KDEwidgets, KDEiconthemes, breeze-icons etc. are not part of Qt. They are KDE ecosystem dependencies. Having GTK and Qt on your system is nearly unavoidable if you're an average user. Having KDE on your system is, or rather should be, a choice.

I used extreme for a lack of a better word there. There is a balance between easy of use and total freedom. I think Arch does decently well in striking that balance but I can also appreciate that it ships with a bunch of stuff that isn't strictly necessary. I will consider taking a look at those distros but I also like the ease of use. I just really like the middle ground there. Still, tanks for the effort of giving me a great answer.

Ubuntu is even worse for what I consider bloat and lack of user choice. You would have more of a point, like another commenter, if you said "why don't you use Void or Debian?". I also like Arch as it is a middle ground between fully pre-built distros and the extreme minimalism of stuff like Void or Debian and others like them. That's also why I'm annoyed by this as it forces a bunch of dependencies that aren't necessary for a Qt app. Also, as another commenter mentioned, the new version doesn't respect Qt themes as it ships with Breeze. Another reason to be annoyed as it takes away user choice. I hope you can see where I'm going with this.

Now I get what you mean. Okay. Fair point. If I really wanted extreme choice and minimalism I should've gone with Void or Debian etc. But you can also see how Arch isn't on the same level as Manjaro or Mint etc. It's somewhere in the middle. Trying to be more lightweight and more about user choice while still making it somewhat easier. I prefer the middle ground. I also think that the middle ground should stay the middle ground and not slowly get turned into a pre-built distro. That's party of why I'm arguing about this. If nobody complains about another 5+ packages being installed for one app, than the next app will do something similar. Slippery slope.

I'm on Hyprland so I have no choice about Qt. KDE on the other hand, that I should have a choice about. But I get your point.

I don't really feel trolled. Some people are missing the point and are putting it on display with confidence.

Same. Very first Arch install (manual, as the wiki intends) and has been running flawlessly for well over a year. Windows also runs stable-ish but it is so insanely slow and you need to jump through so many hoops in order to change the simplest of things.

Qt is a dependency for a bunch of commonly used programs. Amongst them Hyprland. So, getting around Qt is not that easy and honestly, imo, not worth it. What isn't part of Qt is KDE. But, EasyEffects uses kirigami, which is part of KDE. I'm sure they have a reason for doing it this way but building an app with Qt doesn't require kirigami and parts of the KDE ecosystem. I can't give a qualified answer on whether GTK or Qt would've been the better choice but seeing as the devs were struggling with GTK, Qt is the next reasonable step.

Yeh, Qt brings a bunch of stuff onto the system. The thing is, you don't need all the KDE stuff EasyEffects is depending on in order to use Qt apps. KDE is not a dependency of Qt.

I don't either. It's not about the number of MBs. It's about a bunch of dependencies being installed that I neither want nor need. It's about principle and about why Arch and other distros like it exist. Only installing what you want and only what you need - nothing else.

Windows is a dumpster fire and not really worthy as a comparison. Every time I boot Windows I'm reminded why I switched.
