Well dMw Arma has been quite for some time now what with all the shiny new games out (some of which are very Arma 'like') so we've made some changes which will hopefully get it going again.
Whitey has done a sterling job for us with the server. It has now been updated to 64bit (which has dramatically increased my fps) and he has managed to get it configure for some server side mods, something we've wanted for a long time but the server has always resisted. Puff and i have done a little testing and it all seems stable.
Big thanks to Whitey !! :clap2:
To get things going we've just added 3 mods to see how it plays. If things go well and we get players we will add more and we will take recomendations from you guys.
The mods we are running are: RHS: United States Armed Forces
RHS: Armed Forces of the Russian Federation
Advanced Rappelling
Puff has kindly created a couple of missions using these.
I have also added some workshop 'escape' missions as recomended by main (https://www.deadmen.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?43703-arma-3-playthrough-videos&p=426329&viewfull=1#post426329). Puff and i have had a quick go just to make sure they'll work and i have to say i found them good fun.
We have created a workshop collection for the current mods, dMw Arma 3 Server Mods (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1209598490)
Hope to see you Sunday at 8pm.

These mods have been selected as they are very well made and the detail in some of the animations, sounds and textures are much better than other mods we looked at.
And again, a massive thanks to Whitey for setting them up on the server.
This is great to see, good work all involved, it's a shame I am a few thousand miles too far to join this one!
Wayheyyyyy!!
Glad to see a change to the server that has been a long time coming! It's been a shame to see Arma drop in numbers over time and hopefully this will kickstart it back up again!
I'll do my very best to jump on tomorrow, as I will be back home for most of the day so hopefully I will make the looooong commute back to uni in time!
See you then
Thanks to those who came on for a game tonight. Was great to get some Arma going again. Good mission from Puff, thank you. And as for the Escape mission we played after, well it was like one of those tragic movies where you think they've made it to safety only to all die just as the heli has almost made it away.
Hope to see you all next week and we will make it off the island
Thanks to everyone last night, I didn't realise how much I missed Sunday night Arma! Hopefully we can get a few more familiar faces in the coming weeks to build up the playerbase again but I'm glad to see some people returning! Great mission Puff. Twobad I'd like to make some missions at some point - if you've got this mystical 'framework' that we hear so much about, if I could grab it that'd be great!
Glad you enjoyed it Nuka and lets hope we do see a few more.
Puff should have sent you ther framework by now. Any problems please give me a shout.
I am glad you liked the mission! If you would have any feedback, what to add or change, please let me know, I will pass it to the developer. Thank you :)
Would love to play the Escape mission with you guys.
