Tanoa and APEX

If we need to patch APEX content - eg. adjusting vehicle capacity - we would need to require APEX and Exile would stop working on non-APEX installations. We would like to prevent that, so non-APEX users can continue playing.

Don't ever require Apex to play Exile. Not everyone will buy it (I did) but that would limit the player base. Let non-Apex owners continue to play Exile and use Apex assets in Tanoa exclusively, please.

I Like the traders.  yaya

Something else I should note: A lot of the players coming to my server lately have been regular Arma 3 players that have never played Exile. They have a3launcher and found the server and clicked on it, downloading the required mods. Requiring them to have Apex would seriously be "cutting off your nose to spite your face" as they say.

@BetterDeadThanZed Please read the part you have quoted. Then read it again. And then you might realize something *flies away*

TFW you will never be exiled to Tanoa.

"We would 'like' to prevent that".

Not the same as "We would never require Apex to play Exile".

However, if you are implying it's the latter, then that would be excellent.

@Eichi Having exile traders in Tanoa already, just raises more question for me. I'll catch you on TS

As written, we are discussing this with Bohemia. If the DLC or at least the config is not available to non-APEX users, mods will not be able to patch that without requiring APEX. And we do not want to require APEX. Period  

very glad u guys working on this. so far it really looks good.

Can't wait till the update will be released for public

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But make this for the Apex users..... if u make this for the non-tanoa members where is the feeling the have something special ??? well it will be gone.....

Just make this update for those who have bought Tanoa and give them the feeling there special........

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And if u guys can fix it that non-tanoa users can use this why shall anyone even buy tanoa ?????? because they will download Exile and get the content where tanoa users for paid for free...........

I'm going to make it really simple for you guys to understand this.

Tanoa is a DLC for Apex from Arma 3. Without Apex you cannot play Tanoa. Completely out of our hands however the users that decided to buy the DLC will have access to Tanoa and our work on the map.

This gon be gud. 

i take it the video above is before you fixed the vehicle capacity's?

Why do I have the feeling that some people just don't read? Facepalm

Maaan, I put my flag in the building in the second last picture with the hardware store :'(

Because you put in pretty pictures 

I can't help but think that the man squatting on the rocks in the first image looks like he might be having a poo.

Oh, the map/traders look awesome by the way

Awesome <3

I think this is amazing, the traders look great!

Looks very nice, im also very happy that you have decided to include the mission file in the server files, that will make setting it up for myself and others a whole lot easier. Again, nice work guys!

i read it all hence why it needed to ask as it's "WIP" so how are we ment to know without asking? Dam!!

You placed some traders. Astonishing.

Can you make Houses enterable like on Namalsk or isn't this going to happen, because it's an official map and not a fan/modder- map

I think you will end up in front of closed doors. Astonishing.

Am I correct in gathering that as an "expansion" rather than a "DLC", APEX/Tanoa is handled differently from the Helicopters DLC? The Huron and Taru seem to work with Exile without requiring everyone to have them. It appears people can currently check out the APEX weapons/vehicles in the virtual arsenal/garage even if they haven't purchased the expansion. That would be consistent with the Helicopters DLC, but I suppose it may change on release.

Everything Tanoa and its assets will be locked to APEX owners.

Clothing/Weapons/Vehicles and the like will be available to all players in the usual manner (Virtual Garage/Arsenal, useable in the game with restrictions (watermark overlay, no crew positions)).
