DUWS_X_WW2 is finally Published Enjoy https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2350424965&searchtext=duws_x

Hahaha, class show.

Dun diddle dun diddle dun diddle dun diddle dah de dah de dah de dah dee dahhh!

Yeah man, its had some delays, i'm reticent on giving a time frame BUT it should be out by next weekend, possibly earlier BUT it could be later. It depends on many things most importantly of which is a photo of myself whereby I am impersonating Sir Digby Chicken Caesar.

Hi Dang. Any idea when the WW2 DUW-S will be coming out? Want to try it out with a few mates.

Cheers, dude. Thanks for the response

Check with DUWS-X by killer Tomata, not sure if he has included it. He and I are currently working on a DUWS-X version for WW2 where you can play as any faction. Its a vast improvement on my versions, its almost finished and will be released very soon.

will we get a Global Mobilization DUWS anytime?

How to set up the game to make a war?

yes

Yep, sorry everyone, it's the busy time of the year for my business and for my social life. I've barely had any time to work on it but it is close. I decided to put in a couple of geist mod factions so that there will be more German faction choices and I wanted to have choices for as many countries as possible that participated in the war. Geist has enabled me to include the Free French forces and a Polish faction. More may come after release. P.S. cool ya bloody jets @Arcticfox

It took longer!

3 weeks at the most, although don't hold me to that

Been waiting for DUWS X WW2 for some time, good to hear :)

A couple of weeks maybe, or quicker, its almost there. It just depends on when we get time from our normal everyday lives, plus I'm in Australia and Killer is in the US. so its hard to sync up with each other, except for on weekends.

Hello, do you have any ETA for the DUWS X IFA3 modification?

its the map, you have to keep an eye on the bottom left as you place zones. it will say "choose a location for zone 1" then after it accepts that zone it can take some time. The bigger the zone, the longer it takes to spawn said zone. Typically on any map any zone above 1000m2 will take some time to spawn the enemy units, however this map also seems to take a very long time as compared to my other versions, i'm not sure why this is, patience is a virtue. Also zone max must be larger than zone min on start up of a mission.

u can only place one zone. if u try more will not work

I won't totally rule it out, but if it does happen it'll be a while.

Any chance of a German vs British version like Operation Battleaxe? Love your DUWS scenarios btw.

Perfect!

When the mods fail...

Hey yeah it is not your fault with the new issue, it is an issue with IFA, I have opened a discussion on "https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/660460283/2243300286294414374/" So hopefully we'll see a fix soon, but it seems to be an IFA side issue

I'll try to get a better answer for you soon, it will get fixed at some stage.

Just deleted and re-downloaded FOW, no changes. Bummer, was looking forward to getting this onto N'Djenahoud. I appreciate it fellas

I would try removing and re-downloading Faces of War (check steam download folder that it is really removed: steamapps\workshop\content\107410\891433622)

Hmm, me too, thats strange, I don't really play this one, it has something to do with cup terrains and or IFA3. Try IFA3's discord for an answer, its nothing that i've done wrong on my end, its a mod problem.

Downloaded this last night and tried to play but each time the allied weapon models would not load. Not sure how to fix but would really love to play this!

haha, thought you were an Australian as you used "mate" was going to send you a friend request if you were as we could play these together over local host. Unfortunately my internet sucks so connecting to Europe is bloody terrible, however that may change in a few months as the internet in my area is getting upgraded from 1998 internet to something more current.

Lol, nope, I mean, I am an "aussie", if you mean Austria :P

You an Aussie?

Thanks mate, I'll try that :-)

thought I did that already

sorry again but if you want it to be accurate spell Africa with a k "Afrika" then its german and accurate ^^

Thanks but I only modded the DUWS-R game mode code to WW2 over a bunch of different versions, as well as an Unsung mod, Vietnam version, I didn't create the game mode but I did make some improvements. Click on LT.Dang's Workshop at the top of the page above the title to see my other versions. Changing the map is easy just read what I typed above, you just need to find out what the map name is in .pbo format. Go into editor open the map you want to use and save it. Look in My Documents\arma 3(your profile name)\missions folder for the save you just made and you'll see the map name.

Very well done!
Quite different to Antistasi and WLA; because this one just works :P
And it's easy too.
Thanks a lot!!

btw: I don't get what you mean with "CHANGING THE MAP" -> is it somehow possible to play this mission on any (IFA3) map and as any faction!? That would be friggin sweet!!

Will you bless us with the same scenario but as the germans? Thanks, Papa Dang

no problem

there are no matildas in ifa3, i used whatever tanks were available, even the firefly which only came in late in the war but fuck it i used it anyway

No Matilda's?

oh I thought you were asking if you play as the germans, thanks, changed it

You spelled it wrong you said Africa Core but its spelled Afrika Korps

huh? read things

Its Afrika Korps

Well Arma 4 will be a new engine apparently, so hopefully it will run a lot better and use the GPU more than it currently does but it won't be out for years. I recently treated myself to a new NASA PC, its an i7 8700K plus a 1080. I went all out this time, got sick of buying middle of the market and having a mediocre PC. It makes Arma 3 so much better, especially for WW2 as shooting over 300m with iron sights is quite difficult at the best of times, especially on an older PC where the enemies look like stick figures at that distance. I'm also able to keep it up around 60fps, however if there's too many AI on the battlefield it can get down to the 30's. I've been trying to add in an AI limiter but my coding skills are not really up to the task.

Yeah, I've only recently been getting back into ARMA and I'm being reminded of all the wonderful idiosyncrasies of A3 AI. You know, like getting snapped by AI through trees and bushes from 700m+ away, healing myself and walking right into their group and shooting them all point blank. I'm like a low rent John Connor fighting handicapped terminators.

And I've thought about upgrading my rig, it's hard to justify making a NASA PC just for ARMA tbh. I'm running an I7 4790K with a 970, it's a little long in the tooth but I can run pretty much anything on high/ultra above 60fps. Maybe when ARMA 4 drops I'll drop the coin.

Or get a better PC!

Spawn less enemy zones, I do about 5 or 6. The Arma 3 engine and ai brains start to crap out when there's over 150 units on the battlefield. I also use SSPM (Simple singleplayer cheat menu). It has zeus in it where you can load in new units that spawn which would be otherwise non editable with normal zeus and I periodically delete friendly units that spawn at friendly zones that are not needed or are not doing anything as well as undamaged empty vehicles. There is a garbage cleaner in the code but it only deletes dead soldiers and damaged empty vehicles.

Interesting, makes sense it's so high. I was playing up to around 70 and wondering why no airplanes had popped. I'm not so worried about homing stuka bombs, I just wanted more immersion lol

Also, do you have any tips for improved performance when playing these missions? I'd like to see if I can get above 30fps

Yeah, I added it back in. Once the enemy army power is above 80 or 100 (can't remember what I set it to) stukas and fokke wulfs spawn. So when you start a game if you set the enemy army power above 100 then they will be there from the start. The Stuka's are OP though as they have homing bombs. I saw a stuka's bomb do a right turn once and follow my tank. I don't know why the IFA3_AIO devs have done this, maybe cos the Stukas were not much of a threat beforehand. I usually set the enemy army power to 80 from the start and it usually takes around 30mins to an hour for the Germans to get their army power to a level where enemy planes to start showing up. This gives me time to get a side mission done and cap one of the zones so I can get some AA defences up. For some reason Vanilla DUWS-R basically made it impossible for enemy aircraft to spawn as they had set enemy army power numbers way too high in the code.
