My implementation of UI on texture is highly experimental. It's quite possible that I've done something wrong. Unfortunately, the mod is not under development anymore. There will be no further updates or fixes. But feel free to fix it by yourself.

Question, it doesnt seem that UI texture doesnt always work, is there any way around that.
Situation: I am Zeus and my players are using laptop. Other players can see the guy use a laptop, but not me (zeus) for some reason. Texture stays default login screen

this is peak ngl

@Wheelchairkid Sorry, it's not.

is this mod still in active development?

@Revolver Drops A Lot: I think this is related to misconfigured addFile module on your mission or misused scripts. Try to remove the addFile modules and/or scripts and the issue should be gone. Then add up again what you have removed one by one and find the cause. "missing permissions" means that a file operation is prohibited by the internal right management.

Currently experiencing an issue on z\ae3\addons\filesystem\fnc_device_addFile.sqf throwing an exception of "missing permissions." Any idea what would be causing this?

I can't wait for this to be developed more, this is honestly amazing!

@Martin Friss You will find some examples on our Discord.

Hello, any remplate file with arma OS and some files? I would like to use within our group in missions. Thanks!

Absolutely love this mod. I hope to see more man!

please dont give up on developing this mod, especially the computer component of it.its absolutely remarkable.

Currently no plans to do that but this can be done by you with your own mod and asset config.

Do you plan to add the portable helipad lights to the list of advanced equipment? Land_PortableHelipadLight_01_F, Here are the IRL reference data sheets for the ones based in Arma. https://www.hollandaviation.nl/app/uploads/2021/06/HA-PL5-stealth-datasheet-03052021.pdf

Split color would refer to one side emits red one side emits green.

I see the option now it never occurred to me to right click and add a connection from a lamp to a power source.

Perhaps a the 'custom editor connections' slide could show this off instead of just showing a red line?

Maybe an addition of an in game field manual entry would help.

Groovy mod, I've been using it to force players to watch power consumption during horror themed missions.

@Shy you mean the virtual cable length? You could create the connections in Eden Editor and not in-game. The length of the cables does not apply there. Or you could mod our mod and change the cable length value.

anyway to extend the range of a generator?

@Mattifine there is currently a new feature in the dev branch that makes all keyboard layouts obsolete. When published all language dependent keyboards will work just fine.

Sorry just found the road map and saw keyboard layouts are on it.

Is there a plan to support different keyboards? I have a Nordic keyboard and none of the special characters are in the right place, it's extremaly annoying.

@Predator14 No, sorry.

@Shydoux You need ACE3 and CBA as dependencies. If you need further assistance feel free to join our Discord.

@killimanjaro117 We can't implement everything on our own. For that purpose we added the feature to write your own armaOS programs, see our wiki on GitHub or some code examples on our Discord. These self-written programs allow you to control everything like for example your AA batteries and Drones and stuff.

Hey @y0014984, would you potentially allow something along the lines of using the laptops or even the power systems to possibly turn on/off things like, AA Batteries, Drones, things like that

Does this work on dedicated servers, it givec me some errors for ace and then doesnt show up in my zeus modules

pls version no ACE3 ?

ACE3 is for:
- Interaction
- Carry/Drag
- Load to vehicles

What does Ace do?

@Starfan28 Kind of. You can enable the "root" user by adding a user called "root". By design this user is allowed to do anything. Between "root" and normal users there is currently no other role like an admin. It was no good choice to name the default user "admin" because it's an ordinary user with no special user rights.

@ExpensiveBeaver Please join my Discord if you want to talk about some details.

Is there a way to give a user 'admin' access so that they can access al other users home folders?

Hey bud.
I run a unit with about 50 dudes. I would like to meet with you regarding the mod if its possible ?

@PREDATTOR Sync a „addUser“ Module to your Laptop. Within the module settings you can setup username and password.

how do you set a login/Password?

If you want to test the upcoming v0.5.3, download the release candidate 1 here: https://github.com/y0014984/Advanced-Equipment/releases/tag/v0.5.3-rc1

Watch the new AE3-DEV Video about the upcoming update v0.5.3 (it's in English)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zp9FDs3HFK8

@Alkateia The next Update v0.5.3 is coming soon. Today I will record a new DEVREP video to explain the new features. Release will be in the next 2 weeks. Look out for a release candidate, that will be released earlier.

This mod is a treasure! Looking forward for more updates.

@Darwin, you can write your own programs, see this wiki artikle: https://github.com/y0014984/Advanced-Equipment/wiki/Write-your-own-armaOS-application

For specific questions on how to use AE3 functions in your own programs, please visit my discord. It's easier to answer your questions there. Unfortunately, we are way behind our deocumentation goal. So, there is currently no Wiki article explaining all functions.

Hi, there is a question
how can i use terminal commands when i write my own script file
for example: i want to UI terminal screen to disapear after executing the script
is there a way i could do that

Hi @Rubber Ducker, perhaps at some point in the future we will implement that. But currently we are still working on some basics. Next update, for example, will contain Zeus support.

Hey, love this mod and can't wait to see where it goes. I might be using it wrong, but are there any plans to implement the '*' wildcard? I primarily collect intelligence for the group I play with, and using this to copy every file in a directory would be very useful. Thanks!

ah i see ok thanks

@76561198192726397 Yes, you can write your own programs, see our wiki here: https://github.com/y0014984/Advanced-Equipment/wiki/Write-your-own-armaOS-application

On my Discord there is a new channel with code examples for your own programs related to your question. So, have a look.

is there a way to do something on the computer and have it change a variable that can be referenced outside of the os? i.e. could you decrypt a file or put a file on a usb drive or whatever and have it trigger something, like a game win for example?

@uhhmm You can write your own armaOS applications (https://github.com/y0014984/Advanced-Equipment/wiki/Write-your-own-armaOS-application) , if you want to emulate something like that.

You think you could make the Laptops able to access the in-game Debug Console like how you do in the Campaign, in a Cutscene, in the Contact DLC?

(Specifically where your character uses a laptop to disable a drone by typing in "BIN_ugv enableSimulation false:" to disable the drone)

Would be cool (and kinda meta) to be able to edit stuff in the Debug Console on the Laptop Itself.

@icha: No.

@76561198192726397 In the near future we will support more computers, laptops and servers. For now it's only the laptop. But developers can use our mod to add armaOS to their assets, too.

Can I install Gentoo on it?
