Updated:

  • Ares Achilles
  • F-18E/F Super Hornet 

Estimated update size: 91MB

Note: You will still be able to play on the servers if you don't update these two mods to the latest version.

As you all are undoubtedly aware; @greybeardralph works pretty much alone to keep all of our games servers, the TS, the website and the repo up and running so you can get some quality enjoyment out of your spare time with the rest of us. 

Sadly, as much as I'd love it to be untrue, all of these servers require a fee to keep them operational. Both Mavy and Greybeard have worked out server upkeep costs, and we ask for €350 a month to keep everything working for you.

Now I hate asking for money, it's just not in my nature. But we have over 2000 members on the forum, and routinely have over 150 on the TS. If all 150 of you donated just €2.30 we'd hit our target in no time. If all of you donated €5; we'd be able to pay for the servers for 2 and a half months.

Now I know that not everyone can afford to donate every month; as most of you are aware I'm kinda strapped for cash right now. But those of you that can spare a little; please, help us keep FK as glorious a clusterfuck as it is.

 

Thanks for your time,

Sarissa

Hello everybody!

As some (Hopefully most) of you have seen and voted on by now, we held a recent poll for changing the missions sizes. The poll can be found here:

 

Following the results of this poll, we are now going into a week of testing this new format (until Saturday 19 Aug). During this week, server 1 will be the "restricted" server, meaning priority goes to regular+ (with one FNG slot per squad), while server 2 will be open for all. Both servers will have a player limit of 40-50 players, depending  on the amount of assets used. During this week of testing, we will also have a number of smaller things to look at, Including (but not limited to):

  • Cycling stricter and more casual rule sets
  • The effects of Headless clients

There will be a specific feedback thread whenever we try some of the smaller points, as well as a global feedback for the new format. We hope to hear your thoughts, good or bad, related to the change in format. Normal feedback can still go in the post-mission reports, like before.

 

We will see you in the fight and in the threads,

Your friendly neighbourhood staff team.

Hello everybody! As mentioned in the meeting report (which you all read every week, of course), we are switching back to steam workshop for our modpack starting tomorrow. You can find more information on how to do this here. A modlist update will follow shortly after the switch to steam workshop, after which arma3sync will no longer work, so be sure to switch over quickly to avoid downtime!

 

Your friendly neighborhood staff team.

]]>95Sun, 27 Aug 2017 17:40:45 +0000RE: "Missing/Removed" Mods and Workshop Updatehttps://www.fkgaming.eu/articles.html/server-news/re-missingremoved-mods-and-workshop-update-r96/

Following the recent move back to the Steam Workshop, we encountered a problem.

We had previously bundled the majority of our mods and maps into two packs, the "FK Mod Pack" (which contained things like NI Arsenal, BWMOD etc.) and the "FK Map Pack" (which contained the maps such as Lythium, Lingor etc.) for what was essentially ease of use for the community. However, this did in fact go against the Steam Workshop EULA, with the possibility of DMCAs, and so we had to take them both down.

As a result of that, there are some mods/maps that will be missing from the Collection and from the Servers themselves and this mainly boils down to two possibilities, either:

  1. It is not on the Steam workshop (such as with the LAV-25, Schwemlitz, the Hover Board etc.) or,
  2. We might have missed then when we had to scramble to take down the "combined" packs and replace them with what we could find on the Workshop.

Do note that we did not intentionally remove any mods that might be missing, they're missing because we essentially have no legal way of using it without undue complications for everyone.

Any changes to our modset that are decided upon by the Management team will be communicated clearly via our Meeting Reports.

There may be a time when some of those mods missing from the Workshop may be uploaded at a later date, either by the original author, or with the original author's permission, in which case we will plan on adding it to the Collection and the Server, so keep an eye out on the Collection page every now and then to make sure you aren't missing anything that we might've re-added to it.

The week of mod testing is over. We have come to a decision on which mods will be added and which mods will be removed from the collection on monday 11/09/17. Note that some of the mods listed were old mods that were temporarily not available.

MODS/MAPS BEING ADDED

New mods total size: 3885.8 MB

MODS/MAPS BEING REMOVED

  • 3CB BAF Units
  • NIArms Minigun
  • NIArms M1903 Sprinfield Rifles

Removed mods total size: 149.8 MB

New modset total size: 37239.7 MB

 

MAPS ON TRIAL

These maps will be added for a limited time to see what the community thinks. We think these may have some troubles, but are still great additions.

Trial mods total size: 1998.3 MB

 

All these changes will take effect during monday, exact time to be determined. This post is subject to change up to that point.

]]>97Sat, 09 Sep 2017 18:31:20 +0000Costs and donations (October 2017)https://www.fkgaming.eu/articles.html/server-news/costs-and-donations-october-2017-r101/

Its been nearly 6 months since this last update and a lot has changed since then. Not only has a lot changed within the community, this month will also introduce a new system for donations. Below is an explanation and breakdown of the new system.

Goal changes:

As a lot of you have undoubtedly noticed, the past few months have been hard on us money wise. We are not getting nearly as much donations now as we had earlier this year. Because of this we decided we needed a way to see where the community wanted us to invest. What servers to keep and what servers to drop. To do this we decided to split the costs we have over different donation goals. By splitting up the goals it is easier to see where the community wants us to invest. We can then use this as a guideline when making decisions, not only on a server level but also on a community level. So lets break down the current costs and their goals.

What do we have:

First lets start with a breakdown of what we/I own, lets start with the easy stuff. There are currently 4 machines that are dedicated to FK activities, these are:

  • ARMA #1 - €55,-/month (This one runs the headless clients)
  • ARMA #2 - €55,-/month (The main arma server)
  • ARMA #3 - €55,-/month (The test/second arma server)
  • Gamebox #1 - €70,-/month
    • Currently hosts teamspeak, minecraft, blackwake, space engineers and garry's mod. This box has 64GB of ram and a 6 core cpu, in combination with virtualization it is highly flexible so I can swap games quickly depending on demand.

These are easy because these machines are dedicated to FK. The rest of our machines are hosted in combination with some of my other virtual machines, these are:

  • Web server #1 - €12,50,-/month (The main website)
  • Web server #2 - €5,-/month (Test site and gitlab runner, used for compiling missions/templates)
  • Mail server - €5,-/month

These 3 servers are hosted on 2 dedicated machines I use for testing and some private stuff. Since they are shared I wanted a good way to share the costs between myself and the FK community.

Breakdown of the costs:

The 2 servers that I use to host from both have 8 cores, 32GB ram and several TB of storage. Each host costs €70,- making a total of 16 cores and 64GB ram for €140,-/month. I have decided to base the costs on the CPU usage, ram is not shared between the different virtual machines so any ram used by FK machines is unavailable for my machines. Dividing these makes a cost of €2,19/month per GB, I have rounded this up to €2,50/month (I too enjoy a beer for effort).

For the gamebox I have broken the costs down per IP address (we can use 7 for games/ts). This breaks down to €10,-/month per game which seemed most reasonable. These costs are at the bases of the new goals. Each goal will list the costs per server based on these calculations.

License costs:

Originally we where using an old license for our website. Support on this license had expired and there for renewal was needed. In total this currently adds another €10,-/month for the website. We also pay for the admin panel for our ArmA servers, this costs €25,-/year. Breaking down to €2,08/month, for sanity reasons I rounded this down to €2,- in the goal.

Donation methods:

I know a lot of people have asked for other ways to donate, sadly Paypal is the only viable gateway we can use. This is mostly due to the fact that other gateways do not payout transactions until a certain threshold has been reached.

Rainy day fund:

This month sees the end of the rainy day fund. It caused a lot of controversy as people felt it was being used for personal joy. In fact it is quiet the opposite. It was used to pay for FK servers while the donations where low. We are now out of spare funding and because of that making our goals is even more important.

Over the weekend I have enabled some extra security features for our teamspeak server. If you are having issues connecting please check:

  • if you are using the latest version of Teamspeak.
  • if you are connecting to the correct address (ts.fkservers.eu).

If you have checked the above and still need help, please post a thread here and attach screenshots of:

  • the version of TS3 (Help > About Teamspeak 3).
  • the error you are getting.

Many thanks,

Your friendly neighborhood admin.

]]>104Sat, 07 Oct 2017 17:42:11 +0000Squad Weekendhttps://www.fkgaming.eu/articles.html/server-news/squad-weekend-r105/

For the past few weeks I have been pondering about setting up a Squad server for FK and what better excuse than a free weekend on steam.

The Event:

The full event is explained on the squad website. In short, starting next Thursday people can play squad for free or buy it at a 50% discount. To test if there is interest within FK to play this game more often I have setup a public server. I will also create 1 or 2 events on the calender so people can show their interest for a specific night. I will also create dedicated TS rooms that people can use while in the game.

The Server:

I have setup a server as a trail, it can be found on "squad.fkservers.eu:27165". The server will remain online for at least 2 weeks. After 2 weeks I will review the interest and the costs so we can decide if we keep it.

Let us know what you think about Squad in the comments and hopefully we will see you in the battlefield!

]]>105Mon, 06 Nov 2017 10:19:02 +0000Modset Changelog 01/01/18https://www.fkgaming.eu/articles.html/server-news/modset-changelog-010118-r110/

Well, call this a belated christmas present or a fresh start of the new year. But on the 1st of January, there will be a few changes to the modset. This post will list all changes that will happen to the main ARMA server on the 1st of January. You can already check these changes on the second server.

NEW MODS

Approx. download size of new mods: 2943MB

REMOVED MODS

Size of the mods removed: 1550MB

UPDATES

FK-ACE3 will update to ACE 3.12. Currently, the second server is running regular ace, not FK-ACE. Along with these changes come a few updates to the scripts, or better said, completely reworked scripts for the Zeus templates. Here is a list of the biggest and most important changes:

  • Switch from BI Arsenal to ACE Arsenal. This new arsenal has easier blacklisting of items, so you can't take banned items. It also is more detailed and far superior to the BI arsenal. You access the ACE Arsenal by using your ace interaction key on the crate, instead of the action menu.
  • CBA Settings. Now that ACE and TFAR have switched to using ACE settings, there is a lot that can be done during missions. The Zeus module to change ace medical settings has been removed; the admin can now change the CBA settings to enable and disable features, more than could be done before. Note that because of this, we will be renaming the TFR channels for the main and second server, so that the default TaskForceRadio channel will be for the local host and doesn't require you to change anything.
  • TFAR. With TFAR 1.0, there come a few exciting changes. Most notably vehicle intercoms and radio towers, two additions that will be loved by tank/helicopter crews and platoons respectively. Another fun addition, AI-Hearing. This means that the AI will know when you are talking or receiving radio messages. So when the admin decides to enable this, you are fucked. Oh, and let's not forget that spectators can now hear the players on the ground. (and for the moment also the radios, but that should be fixed soon™)
  • ACE 3.12. ACE arsenal as mentioned above is not the only change. There is now a renewed NVG system that is more realistic. Originally made by Shacktac, this adds more effects and makes NVGs less powerful. The settings for this have already been balanced so that the effects aren't as dramatic, but still present.
  • General performance improvements. The whole structure of the scripts has been overhauled. Scripts are now running at more optimal moments, meaning that loading may be a bit faster for some people and there is less loading time overall. Staff members now also get some tools to see when someone got killed by a friendly, someone has non-whitelisted mods loaded or just to check on server performance.

FULL UPDATED MODSET

  • 3CB BAF Equipment
  • 3CB BAF Vehicles
  • 3CB BAF Weapons

]]>110Fri, 29 Dec 2017 00:01:46 +0000Arma 3 Modset Updatehttps://www.fkgaming.eu/articles.html/server-news/arma-3-modset-update-r117/

It has been four months since the last modset update and we need to breathe some new life into it. We have this time chosen to not add any new gear mods, but we focussed on maps and FW mods. The first server will be changed to the new modset on the 7th of May. Until that time, if you are curious about some of the new jets or maps, you are free to check it all out on the second server. NOTE! The second server is already set to the new modset.

Important note on VCOM and Serverside mods: 
One big change compared to the previous modset is the use of serverside mods. Serverside mods do not need to be added locally to be functional and will therefore not be included in the collection or the preset document. This also counts for VCOMAI. If you want to Zeus using VCOM AI, you can run it locally. But if you don't want the AI to use VCOM, don't enable VCOM on startup. The AI will only use VCOM if you run it yourself as the Zeus, or they will use another AI mod like bCombat or ASR3 if you got that loaded. VCOM being loaded on the server means that only scripted missions will have VCOM enabled by default. If you make a scripted mission, there are certain things you can do to stop VCOMAI being used in the missions. For more information on that, you can ask in the #arma_editor channel on discord, or check the VCOM AI mod page.

This is the full changelog:

After a longer testing period than usual, we have now decided on the new modset. This post will outline the new modset and explain some of the more significant changes.

The changes are currently live on the second server, and they will go live on the first server on Monday the 22nd of October. We will make an announcement when we have updated the first server.

FK - MODS
First on the list is the introduction of a mod bundle upload named "FK - Mods". This mod is intended to help us cut down on the number of mods that need to be in the collection. We have gotten permission from the original authors of each mod in the bundle to re-upload their mod as part of this bundle. Besides containing re-uploads of other mods, this bundle will also include any mods explicitly created for FK.

The mods that are currently included in the bundle are:

  • BackpackOnChest by Zade
  • RHS Extra Uniforms by wsxcgy
  • ASR AI3 by Robalo
  • fk_disable_patches by NeilZar

The fk_disable_patches mod is a config to disable some questionable patches in one of the mods.

FUTURE UPDATES
The CM team is currently discussing a couple of changes with regards to not only the frequency of the modset updates but also the testing process itself. Some of you may have recently seen this thread pertaining to the process of testing mods and how it might be changed to allow for community members to help. We are certainly open to this and we're working on this to allow for more people to help with the testing process. Be forewarned that it won't be a completely open thing due to a couple of issues that we've noted in our initial pass on the idea. Expect more information at a later date as we develop it.

]]>133Mon, 15 Oct 2018 12:12:17 +0000Modset Update 08/04/19https://www.fkgaming.eu/articles.html/server-news/modset-update-080419-r143/

It has been a while since the last modset update, and it is about time we updated it again. On the 8th of April, we will change the modset on the first server at an undetermined time; we will announce once the first server is updated. Until that time you can check out the new mods on the second server, but more on that later. These are the changes to the modset in alphabetical order:

Added

Removed

  • 3CB BAF Units
  • Action Builder
  • Diyala
  • F-15SE Silent Eagle
  • FIR AWS(AirWeaponSystem)
  • G.O.S. Gunkizli
  • PLP Containers
  • Project Uncut
  • Sabs SU-34 Fullback
  • Shacktac User Interface
  • Spartan Factions v3
  • US Special Operations Command

Changed

  • Achilles (moved to FK - Mods)

Along with these changes, there are some changes to FK - Mods; Achilles and ADV - ACE Splint are being added to the mod, along with some files to improve the balance and compatibility of mods in our modset. These changes, however, will only take effect on the 8th of April; until that time FK - Mods won't be loaded on the second server either.

To help you with these changes, here is a download for the new HTML preset. 

SECOND SERVER
Because the FK - Mods mod is still being used on the first server and there is some stuff in there that is still relevant to the current modset, we can not use it on the second server for now. This means that when you want to test stuff on the second server you need to disable FK - Mods and enable ADV - ACE Splint, BWMod - ACE compatibility and Achilles.

FURTHER CHANGES
We are also taking this opportunity to make some changes to the templates. Besides new templates being introduced, we are re-enabling the environmental sounds. If you find any issues, make sure to report them here.

FKGaming is pumped to announce the development our very own Squad server. Squad is a tactical FPS trying to bridge the gap between lightweight arcade shooters and hardcore military simulators. Providing large scale, combined arms combat and authentic combat experiences. Achieve victory through teamwork, communication and tactical gameplay; making it a perfect fit for FKgaming's community mindset.

Already back in November 2017, FKGaming hosted a Squad server during a free weekend on Steam. Although the game is still in Alpha, the growth of Squad has not gone unnoticed and will provide FK members with a military playground in a welcoming PVP setting. The upcoming release of our Squad server could not have better timing as the game is currently available for only $12 through Humble Bundle.

We will announce the exact launch date in a future post, but we couldn't wait to share this server update with you. This also gives you plenty of time to buy Squad with a great discount through Humble Bundle, as the discounted price is only available until September 6th.

The hosting of our Squad server does not increase our monthly donation goals, as it will be hosted on our current server box infrastructure. Depending on technical limitations, the closure of one of our less frequently used ARMA 3 servers is possible.

FK Gaming is adding a new game to their server portfolio. DCS, short for Digital Combat Simulator, is a free-to-play full scale military simulator. Focused on bringing the most realistic simulation of military aircraft, tanks, ground vehicles and ships possible, DCS ups the ante on military immersion in videogames. Check out our launch video in this article.

After many weeks of hard work, it's here! The latest iteration of our Arma modpack. This modpack is the result of a new process with a Mod Testing Team, and I thank all who contributed for their hard work during the process. For the mods themselves, we have had a large cycle of maps in and out, hopefully these will bring a fresh spin to our missions!

This new modset will be live on FK1 from Monday, the 27th of April. Updates to various internal mods and changes to the servers will happen at some point after main the previous day, and before next main.

These updates include two major changes to our modset and play. I'm sure most of you will have heard of the new ACE medical rewrite update, and this will now be live with the modset change. Please read the documentation and posts by the medical trainers on this matter, they are very important!


Additionally, we will be replacing a core mod to our Zeus tools for many years, Achilles. This will be replaced by Zeus Enhanced, a more refined mod that does much of the same, and better in many cases. For end users it is largely similar, but differences and nuances might prove for some small teething issues in the short term, so be patient with Zeuses. Changes include (but are not limited to) a new right click context menu for various tasks, image previews for objects like in the editor, and many customisation options to suit your preferences!

Below you will find a full list of what's come and gone, but the important parts are next: Mod Presets!

MOD PRESET + INSTALLATION
The simplest way to get the new modset ready will be to import our new official FK Modset April 2020 HTML file. Instructions on how to do this can be found here.

SECOND SERVER
Because FK Mods and FK ACE are still being used for main missions until release date, if you want try out the new mods on the second server in the meantime you will need to use the FK 2 PRERELEASE Week Preset. Please only use this preset for the coming week until release on FK1.
