New mods for server!

Hi ya folks!

The servers been updated with new mods and the removal of some outdate/unused ones, so it requires a few new bits to be download. It'll be used from this monday 15th!

Heres a new preset - https://www.dropbox.com/s/12stjphd5...20Monday%20Mods%20March%202021.html?dl=0 (right click the link - save as)- you can just use the same method outlined in the sticky - https://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads....sessions-who-what-when-where#Post3732626 - then run arma3 with this preset, you'll have to re-tick the GM content in the DLC tab

If you want to save some hard drive space, you can delete the following mods

CUP Terrains - CWA 3290.4 MB
Isla Duala 520.8 MB
FRL - Kunduz 446.9 MB
Shacktac (discontinued) 0.2 MB

Any questions just ask!

Thanks for all the hard work fixing broken missions and getting the mods updated!

Btw, I'll have a list of other mods that might not have been deleted previously. I'll post that at a later time.

Thanks for all the server admin stuff you do Meatshield. I'll be updated and ready for next Monday.

Thanks Meat ! I've got it downloaded and installed it. Logged into the server, started a mission, and played it for a minute, all seems well.

I would recommend deleting the SHQ Monday Mods_Sept2019 and Feb2020 versions after you've gotten the latest one installed and working.

in the Sept2019 modset, we had
Porquerolles Island
Kerama islands

Please delete those, as they are no longer in our modset, even the Sept2020 one.

Also, when mod makers update their mods, they sometimes rename them and upload. In this case, the old version is not deleted and there are multiple versions of the same map.
I would recommend you go to the file directory where the addons are and remove them.

For me, the directory is Steamapps\common\Arma 3\!Workshop

In my directory, I see duplicates for Isla Duala, Lingor-Dingor and several others. You might want to consider deleting the old versions. If you delete all versions of that particular mod, it will redownload or you might have to manually redownload the latest one. But you'll be able to save more disk space that way.

If you're uncomfortable about deleting something in that directory, post a screenshot of that directory and I can help you pick what should be deleted.

all loaded and ran test session - seems like it's working

Thanks Meatsheild - hope all is well where you are, we appreciate your hard work

I'm getting "unable to import preset" when I try to import the latest preset file that meatshield provided the link to.

Never mind. I got it to work now.

Hi.

I'm just bumping this thread in case anybody new wants to join us.

We run quite a few official ARMA 3 DLC, plus around 40GB in addons for maps/units/vehicles.

In addition to the base game, you'll need the following DLC (which I recommend getting in deep discount sale and not full price)
Apex
Global Mobilization
Contact
S.O.G. Prairie Fire

You can download the ARMA 3 launcher pre-set and it will auto-download the mods from the Steam workshop that you'll need.

More instructions can be found in the first post in this thread.

You will also need to download Teamspeak and connect with the following information.

These days we pretty much play on Mondays from 8-10PM.

(for the regulars, nothing new is in this post. just for any potential newcomers)
