This is such a great script thank you for making.

Is there anyway to add Custom channels that can be made on the server? except vanilla

Any updates on a mod version? Would love to have this in addon format so I don't have to depbo and repack missions, this is a great alternative to TFAR/ACRE for linux players.

Hey @Phronk been looking at this mod. so a few questions on the subject. i know you might get this a lot so i will apologize in advance given i just skimmed the comments. so first question is if i wanted to use AFAR can i use this on other maps thats not the demo pbo file say for example i use malden , or a custom map mod within can i still use it as a script? 2: would there be a update down the line where its more user friendly for people who aren't that hands on in scripting within arma 3? and 3: do you plan on future continued updates given that your last comment was 2017 and this has not been discontinued without announcing it.

can i use this in public zues

Anyways how do I enable global?

needs better instructions for people who have lives

Would be nice to have an option to disable channels on the map markers. For example I want to disable text chat and map markers for the side channel. Thank you!

this just does not work for me unfortunately

is it possible for there to be a way to hear 2 channels at once, i think thats the major hold up that the heavier mods still have.

Thanks for the quick reply, awesome script. i have a question? id there a way for direct chat to be always on? like in TFAR?

scratch that, sorted it

@kiba3x : As stated on the forum and previous responses, the script will work as long as CfgRemoteExec is not defined anywhere in the mission.

@EdisonFall : Sounds like the Description.ext does not have the code initialized; make sure it's the same as the demo mission and the file paths are correct -- for example, don't put the AFAR folder inside another folder within your mission.

HI Phronk. loved your insurgency mission,. Trying to get this radio script working in my mission, but it says i'm missing the AFAR UI, I've copied the folder and the script from the int.sqf and the Description.ext. is there something i'm missing?

Is AFAR compatible with KP Liberation?

@SIRYABASHAR : "AFAR" is the acronym for Addon-Free Arma Radio, which is the name of this script. I never heard of a mission saved as a text file, so I'll go ahead and say it is not compatible.

@Phronk
I don't really understand what "AFAR" is, but the problem is that the mission deletes all scripts and loads a small text file already with a saved game. I have no idea how to put the script in there.

@SIRYABASHAR : Not sure what you mean. If you're asking if it's compatible with Antistasi and saved progression, it's pretty much compatible with any mission you install the scripts into, unless the mission has CfgRemoteExec defined. (Deleting it will let scripts like AFAR work properly)

The second question is settled, I did not notice the topic in the discussions

Hello, I want to install the script on the server, but we play in the 'Antistasi Plus' mode, where the saves are loaded in the game. How can I put it there if there is no mission and save?
Will there be a mod in the future to simplify?

@Thatch : Thanks; to my knowledge, it is not possible to have a composition contain scripts -- especially since this one requires the "Description.ext" ( One of the main script files in a mission ) to #include the custom sounds and UI code.

Awesome work, is there any chance we could see this script released as a composition that we could spawn into the mission as Zeus?

Eagerly waiting for the addon! Don't know why this is not more popular - setting up TS3 is such a hassle if you only play with friends.

Nice work Phronk, we appreciate it!

Haven't had any input on the test version on the forum, so moving forward with finishing up with small tweaks, bug fixes, and optimizations. Will also finally start building the scripts into an addon, which will be released separately. I'll post an update in the comments as well as in the description once it's ready.

@turdle : Intended but updated version allows you to cycle to it. Can download test version on the BI forum.

After cycling between channels I can't go back to the Direct channel. Is this intended or am I missing something?

Thx alot for your answer!

@Junkey : There is no way to add a custom channel, just the ability to rename the custom support channel that I added. It'd be too much code to add more channels and functionality to it.

I Haven´t seen a question on this:

Is there a way to add custom channels

For Example and Arty Channel ontop of air?
Without massive modifications to the scriptwork ofc.

Been trying to figure that out and haven´t found anything in the readme about that or a way to add more channels.

One more step for mike-force installation inside the init.hpp inside the configs folder you should remove "// sound configs
#include "sounds.hpp"" and save it other wise you get a CfgSounds already defined error

what a amazing addon

Ok, thanks

@Predator14 : It hasn't been in the script for years, but the UI pop-up radio can be turned off in the settings file and the in-game radio options ( Accessible in the radio UI, the "Opt" button )

Can we remove the 3d model of the radio floating in front of us? because it's not realistic at all and deeply embarrassing

@MacHawk-Down : Any mission that defines "CfgRemoteExec" in their Description.ext or anywhere else will break AFAR, since CfgRemoteExec is a security measure a lot popular missions add to restrict script kiddies by limiting commands/functions that can be remotely executed, but it also effectively blocks AFAR. Simply remove the entire code block for CfgRemoteExec and it'll be fixed, won't break anything.

@Thatch : I released another test version on the BI forums, you can try it out there if you'd like.

Will there be an updated beta test version?

Is there another install guide thats updated by any chance? I really want to run this on my antistasi plus server but just cant get it running :'(

@Phronk

@0x00 : Good catch! Fixed.

Love this gem, using beta now.

Also Typo in beta vOut.sqf, improper quote, ... {'[]call r_dn} ...

@Phronk, I am very grateful for the effort of everyone involved in the project. What makes this game viable is the community.

@Thatch : Current top focus is fixing a bug that breaks the "r_dn_" and "r_up_" variables which toggle whether the PTT key is down/up. Can be reproduced in several instances, so I'm working on it, no ETA since it has been months trying different fixes with no real solutions yet.

@LSilva : That's an older version of the radio script, the newer one should not have that bug. It doesn't break anything though, harmless error.

@Helg_Mitr : Restarting a mission might cause that, but a fresh server restart should not. Don't know what'd cause it.

After restarting the server, the script stops working correctly. The walkie-talkie interface disappears.

I found a error: Variable "r_dis" does not suport serialization and should not to be stored in the mission namespace.

Still loving this, but sadly still have having the issue where if I use it in a vehicle the radio sounds stop working until I respawn, dropping the radio and changing to channel doesn't seem to cause the problem

Current test version of the next update released here [forums.bohemia.net]. Please report any bugs you may find with other players so I can fix them and finalize to start on the addon version.

I hope so

Will AFAR really be upload addon version? and does this script applicable to mission files like GHST?
