Tried to join twice but got kicked. Which mods do i really need or not need in that list? And do i have to whitelist? Didn't see anything in the forum.

It works with other shooters too so why not? It's surprising how many claim to come from CoD or BF but play 3p. The excuse of getting nauseous is easily stopped by disabling headbob and tweaking fov which again is basically the same as with other shooters ( 3p and 1p have the same fov for btw which is a false claim against 1p ). If you don't give players a choice they will still play it because all the good outweighs the bad or why else is the BF series still thriving even though so many fans say it's basically the same stuff over and over?

The problem is out of 10 players asking for a 1p server you will not even find half of them on it when you take the time to set one up. And if we had a better option to filter 1p only servers ( here in the forum, with a3launcher and vanilla launcher because there either is no option or they just don't work and with admins labeling their 3p server "hardcore" because ai is at top difficulty or whatever is "hard" in their eyes it brings more confusion, ofc players will just go whatever then i'll just play on a 3p server or not play at all ) we wouldn't have 20 servers with 2 players each because those who like to play 1p just set one up for themselves. We really need a norm to make filters work. I had to join like 10 hardcore servers just to find one that actually had 1p and some servers with 1p in their name had 3p...

Well then just let me show you this links how realistic your option is in case you overread it.

That's a simpleton way of dealing with a problem of that kind. It's like telling someone to start eating fluid stuff when he has toothache instead of sending him to the dentist. Anyway OP it's going to be hard to find populated 1p servers. I only know of one and quite a few have this hybrid 3p script. The best hybrid for me is forced 1p when you take your weapon into your hands. You can still abuse over / behind the wall peeking but you will be switched immediately. At least you can't do the close quarters 3p peekaboo stuff anymore which is a good change and will keep most KoS players away.

Well they exist in the game but admins should filter them out for the sake of playability. I have only seen one server where f.e. all rifle suppressors are banned so players think twice if they want to announce themselves and not just be able to do silent kills at 1500m. Iirc handgun suppressors have been removed too but they aren't as game breaking. High caliber guns have a place too but should be limited via script. APCS. ..maybe but only a few hand selected ones..Tanks, attack helos? Why not play a wargame mode instead? So far almost every Exile server is Wasteland with zombies minus the base parts collectIng anyway...not much variety and far away from playing a person who has been sent to fight for survival. It's more like a warzone.

I would say a couple small sessions wouldn't hurt but with controls i just went into the editor to get used to them and tweak if needed. It sucks having to change them in game and iirc it's blocked anyway. Also a controller isn't bad when you plan on using vehicles a lot. At least i feel more comfortable with it when i can make small corrections. Players i take on a ride see the difference immediately because it's much smoother than mashing a key to f.e. get around a corner. Exile uses the same keys but has some mod specific ones like for the earplugs, XM8 and user actions like lock/unlock.

I would try a few hours of vanilla exile before jumping into mods just so you have a rough idea how vanilla gaming differs from modded gaming. A lot can go wrong and you might dislike exile because ( clueless / ignorant ) admins overload their servers with mods which kill the game as you were hoping it to be.

Would be great if you could modify the capacity and not "balance by price" because that's not solving the problem imo. It just doesn't make sense if you look at the cargo volume some vehicles have . The box van from my experience us one of the most cost effective transport vehicle so far. It's fast, can haul a lot, quite bulletproof and protects you from shots in the back thanks to the box. And it's small enough to be concealable.

Heey there. Does anyone already have a script where it is possible to craft things that need way more ressources than you would able to carry in your backpack? Like either having them either in a vehicle or put them on the ground and craft them that way?

Having problems when my client has to download a new mission file. The admin of the server i am playing on was kind enough to have an external download of it ready when needed. If not i just delete the mission file in the mpmissionscache folder, connect, do the alt-tab thingie and hope for the best. I don't think the cause for this problem is exile. BIS seems to have broken ArmA quite a bit lately. Performance is way down the bottom.

One problem is the in game buildings aren't really fortified in the sense of them collapsing when you put enough fire inot them. So in the end it's easier to break into your base that way. I'd still put some exile walls in/around it or at least sandbags that keep players from getting close to the wall.

No need to catch them, they are coming on land by themselves

The had get might be fun but let's be honest here. Don't we already have too many weapon related things in the game ( plus the weapon mods )? We really need some things like at least animals...asking to be able to farm might be too much but that's possible too. I mean this game is about survival but up until now it's just about surviving the next mass shooting and not about how to feedback myself. If i was in a situation like Exile i would prioritize surviving and then maybe fighting for food. Every mod so far ( Exile and the other mod with E, DayZ and so on ) have offered nothing so far except maybe the occasional steak you could harvest from the pigs, rabbits and sheep and a bit of fishing in DayZ mod and E...*cough*

Grind....hard...those are words that you can stretch pretty much. I had an admin who though hardcore was either finding a full set of gear and weapons every other house or absolutely nothing, set up ai that hunt you down in helos, with armed vehicles and on foot en masse. Yes that was an exile server. For me the concept of hard is actually having to MOVE around the map to find what you need. Most players just stick to their turf and don't go further because the admin set lot too easy most of the time. Actually having to move to the next town 5km away to the next industrial to look for baseparts is a hastle ...they want 5 min spawn intervals. I mean why are players asking for a hard mode and bigger island when all they do is sit near their base and do nothing? I see so many players asking for 1st person only servers but when you have a couple around they are either empty or they gather on the server that gives them an easy time...just with 1st person. Others want hard to find loot and "low tech" armament and hard to find special stuff. No matter what you do you can only appeal to a small amount of players. You set the server as you like it, if the players like it they play. They might even ask you to do this and that and you could do that if it's reasonable and fits your concept. It's a compromise after all but don't bend over to players threatening to leave if you don't do x or y. Never. You don't need their type.
