Yo Feint, Big positive energy coming your way to go and fix this. It's a seriously great mod that the community needs. Please fix for MP.
Wiket Oct 22, 2024 @ 12:35pm 
How do you anchor?

Is possible to add SOG DLC boats? Thanks!!

Also, where is the rope created? On the server, on the client who shot the rope out, globally, etc.?
Kill3rCat [1st FORECON] Jun 10, 2022 @ 6:25pm 
Perhaps it could be a locality issue? You could try adding using setOwner to make the boat and the rope box local to the player who picks up the rope box.
Feint  [author] Jun 10, 2022 @ 2:24pm 
That would be nice (removing the engine), but not possible.

Sorry some of you are having issues. I haven't updated this in a very long time. I tested it recently in SP and it works fine. Not sure what BI changed which broke the MP functionality and honestly I'm probably not going to try to fix it unless someone sends me a bunch of positive energy or money. Haha, JK. It still works in SP though.

Would be great if you could remove the engine as well.

Also, the towing doesn't seem to work reliably in MP, the rope seems to not exist on clients?
Kill3rCat [1st FORECON] Feb 18, 2022 @ 2:50pm 
For some reason the keybind isn't working to retrieve the rope. We can deploy it, and pull the rope around, but can't retrieve the rope.

Does this also need to be run server side ?
.Normalized Feb 8, 2022 @ 8:59pm 
does this still work, i tried a couple of times but to no success
Ben Jul 31, 2021 @ 11:54am 
Check.
Feint  [author] Jul 31, 2021 @ 8:37am 
Oh, I thought it was an official tool from BI. If I only had one addon, it wouldnt be a big deal, but updating a dozen addons with this is a pain. And I don't like 99% of people having to download something they'll never use nor giving updates to 15k subs when only like 4 people want this. For now, just download it from the link above. Thanks for the info.
Ben Jul 30, 2021 @ 4:09pm 
Is it really more work, than uploading it to Google Drive instead of just copying it one time (if you don't check for the version) into a new folder? Just curious.
There should be a way where you can create a generic key for all your mods at once and use that one for each mod. On the other hand if you have a lot of mods, one key would enable all of them. Which wouldn't be what server admins would like I guess ^^;
Ben Jul 30, 2021 @ 4:03pm 
FASTER has a function for this. You setup workshop mods, download them. Then you can activate them in server profiles as server mods, general mods for everyone and dedicated mods for the headless client. There are buttons for key folder deletion (ignores a3.bikey of course) and automated bikey copy of those mods which are selected. It's a really great tool: https://github.com/Foxlider/FASTER

And for this I would love to have the bikey on board of the mod :)
Feint  [author] Jul 30, 2021 @ 3:16pm 
Yeah, I knew what you meant, which is why I asked for the folder structure. What program harvests the bikey automatically for the server? I've never heard of that. I'm trying to get to the bottom of this because I'm tired of people asking me to separately post it inside every addon which is an extra step and a pain in the ass for me at this point.
Ben Jul 29, 2021 @ 7:48am 
What I meant by that is that you update the mod with the included key in the modfolder. So everyone would get it automatically. Thank you for considering.
The structure goes like this:

@modname
|- addons
|-- pbo
|-- pbo
|-- ...
|- keys
|-- bikey
|-- bikey
|-- ...
|- optionals
|-- <optional pbos, used very rarely>


Hope this helps :)
Feint  [author] Jul 28, 2021 @ 3:48pm 
I'm not familiar with the automated copy tool you're talking about. Where in the file structure should the bikey reside?
Ben Jul 28, 2021 @ 11:55am 
Hi, could you please add the bikey to the downloaded files? Found your bikey on GDrive and it works when being copied over to the server keys folder. But I would prefer that everyone would have the key as well as an automated copy over through FASTER server tool.
Thanks for your work. Hope you can update as promptly as possible :)
Feint  [author] Nov 21, 2020 @ 8:59am 
@Maff I would prefer that you didn't because if I update it, there will be a version control issue.
Maff Nov 20, 2020 @ 11:36am 
Hi,I was wondering if I would be allowed to repack(Without modification) Your mod into a mod for my unit since we are trying to reduce the number of smaller mods in the modpack. Credit would of course be given and I don't plan on editing anything.
Feint  [author] Sep 26, 2020 @ 10:57pm 
There are more detailed instructions on my website https://feintgames.com/paddle-mod-intro/
bcpbbal Sep 21, 2020 @ 9:07am 
How do you add foliage to the boat? Also how do you bury the boat?
Duke Aug 26, 2020 @ 7:15am 
sorry, noticed you have a link above for the bikey :steamhappy:
Duke Aug 26, 2020 @ 3:49am 
Hey, thanks for the mod. Is there any chance you can add a key please? For signed servers. Thanks.
Oldru_Vallière Jun 7, 2020 @ 11:07am 
due to some issues i am not ding the pack any more but thank you.
Feint  [author] Jun 7, 2020 @ 10:45am 
You can add it to your mod pack, but please don't modify it.
Oldru_Vallière Jun 2, 2020 @ 10:54pm 
@Feint

I would like to add this to a mod-pack for my unit, is there any chance I could get your permission to use it?

If permission is granted, could di please be allowed to edit it to include the boats from walkers A2 vics?
Feint  [author] May 9, 2020 @ 12:07pm 
Nice, I'll look for that.
LEE O C May 9, 2020 @ 12:37am 
cool it works perfectly with pook's 8 man life raft :steamhappy:
LEE O C May 8, 2020 @ 10:44pm 
cool, im gunna try on some SBS in falklands missions :)
A3ROSN1P3R Apr 27, 2020 @ 10:43am 
I'm just the messenger, its how the server is operated.
Feint  [author] Apr 22, 2020 @ 8:36pm 
You can't just install it manually? I've been modding for literally years and you're the first person to say this.
A3ROSN1P3R Apr 22, 2020 @ 4:55pm 
Yeah that's not going to work. Although, the key is provided via drive, in order for the mod to work on the server, the key must be downloaded with the mod through steam.
Will you update the mod file so the key is included?
A3ROSN1P3R Apr 22, 2020 @ 4:52pm 
Yea that's not gonna work, what I mean is, are you going to include the key in the steam mod?
Feint  [author] Apr 19, 2020 @ 9:51am 
Scroll up.
A3ROSN1P3R Apr 18, 2020 @ 8:38pm 
I want to add this mod to my units mod list, but it can't be added b/c their is no key for it. Could this be changed?
GrayFox Aug 24, 2019 @ 1:55pm 
good mod
Feint  [author] Jul 6, 2019 @ 10:18am 
Hi Miller, I made this mod, not Sabre. For licensing, please contact me at http://www.feintgames.com/contact/
Miller Jul 5, 2019 @ 2:38am 
Hello Sabre,
i have to Questions about the mod.

1. is the Sailing mod necessary??
2. can this mod be used on a monitarized server?

looking forward to your response.

greetings Miller
SSG Anhor Jun 10, 2019 @ 10:03am 
Just a small question Feint ..... will it maybe work in Exile?
Feint  [author] May 25, 2019 @ 12:20pm 
@Cryofrost: Because of the limited space in the comment field, I'll start a discussion thread and post the answer there.
Cryofrost May 24, 2019 @ 11:57pm 
is there a way to make the zodiac work, if your charecter(s) does not start in it.
would love to know, since im working on a mission, and i would like them to start on land, get in the boat and paddle to their objective.
Feint  [author] Nov 15, 2018 @ 11:20pm 
Answers to your questions:
1) Yes.
2) No. But you can do this with simple scripting.
ReservoirDog Nov 9, 2018 @ 6:47am 
Will this work with the deplorable boats mod? Or is there a possibility of making it possible to deploy crrc after a parachute or air insertion then pack it or sink it close to shore ?
Feint  [author] Sep 30, 2018 @ 1:01pm 
@GrayFox, if you are volunteering to make animations and paddles, please contact me and let's work together on that. If you are just suggesting that I do it, as I've answered many times before, I don't know animations and modeling.
GrayFox Sep 25, 2018 @ 12:46am 
This mod is very good, and it would only be necessary to see the soldiers with an oar in hand and the animation of paddling
Feint  [author] Aug 16, 2018 @ 10:53am 
It might be a mistake I made on the config. The latest version is on here despite what it says on the in game menu.
GrayFox Aug 5, 2018 @ 3:32am 
I need help, I'm supposed to download 3.05 from here and then inside the simulator it says it's 3.00, can you update it to 3.05?
State Farm Jake Jun 9, 2018 @ 8:32pm 
this mod is great for a mission i have made involving an Italian mafia hit squad on the island of gorgona. will try and produce some video of it in action.
