UAV issue

[ghost]

Hi Rev

The Falcon UAV can't be reconnected after server restart and taking it from garage, any idea's ?

Regards

[codexGW]

Oh good you found the issue. I was going to test it but probably wouldn't have thought of the restart.

I wonder if this has to do with the DLC block. Does this affect the Fenghuang or any other UAV's?

[ghost]

Not 100% sure I'd need to test them, also another issue players are reporting is the inability to use the AV feed.

[AgentRev]

The AV feed is force-closed automatically because of quadcopter thermal abuse, as observed by Giga. This can be controlled via A3W_disableUavFeed

It's not about the main topic, but about gigatek post (and this one: http://forums.a3wasteland.com/index.php?topic=2630)
This is a real thing, the UAV_Control addon dont worth much, since its very easy to steal not owned UAVs

I realize that you guys dont know how this "uav hacking" works, so i made a video:
https://youtu.be/ipwhkLgyGtg (btw i recorded that at a3armory xD)
all you need to is spam the arrow key :)

i made this simple fix: biabock/ArmA3_Wasteland.Tanoa@d7e47e9
(idk if this is the best way, but works)

[AgentRev]

oh so they're breaking out the timer... nice find

[AgentRev]

it should be noted that this would never have been a problem if BIS had implemented fucking UAV event handlers like they're been asked 100+ times 😏

[codexGW]

I wouldn't be surprised if this has been happening for awhile. "UAV hacking" does seem like a meme now. At least for A3W. Nice find biabock.

[AgentRev]

fixed glitch: 79d313e

as for the original issue, I think Giga found the problem, people need to buy the DLC. best I can do is add a warning for unexpected behavior without DLC purchased.

[AgentRev]

although in case of parking retrieve I could try to attempt connection to the player.

[codexGW]

I'm running Stratis on my test server and I have 5 saved UAV's. Only 1 (the same one each time) will not load AI at restart. It's 1 of 3 Fenghuang's. Agent you should check this out. I don't see any difference in the database. I think once we find out what the variable with that one UAV, we will see the problem.

[AgentRev]

well, just post the contents of the Variables field...

[codexGW]

Its the first O_T_UAV_04_CAS_F I bought

You're welcome to join the server and join my group if you want to see for yourself. It doesn't even show on the uav panel anyways.

[codexGW]

Huh, I just noticed. The first O_T_UAV_04_CAS_F is on side east. That's weird I was never on that side.

[AgentRev]

I see 1 Opfor and 4 Indies. Are you saying you are unable to connect to the Opfor one while playing on the Opfor team?

[biabock]

A3Wasteland/ArmA3_Wasteland.Tanoa#1 again?

[codexGW]

Yeah I think that's the issue, somehow the UAV is going back to its side after a vehicle load. I really don't remember ever joining op4 or even seeing a red square.

[AgentRev]

it will never show red squares unless you're actually in Opfor. the icon color only depends on your own side, not the target's.

[codexGW]

I know, that's what I mean. I would have noticed a red square instead of a green one (which I saw) if I was mistakenly on op4 when I bought it. Not originally seeing a red square just occurred to me when I joined to make sure it was working when I was on op4, which it was. If I get a report of this, I'll make sure to check the team and ask what team they were on when they bought it.

[AgentRev]

looks like I'll have to make the spawn script spam createVehicleCrew every second until it has actually fulfilled its purpose, because obviously BIS did not give a single fuck when they wrote that command.

[codexGW]

Report from a player about this.

So earlier today 8-17-16 i logged on to use my UAV helicopter which i had stored the night before in the parking garage and It came out fine, but it wouldn't connect to my uav terminal so that's a whole issue in of itself that i couldn't resolve. So disappointed with my none functioning heli, I stored it again in the parking garage a few hours ago and then logged off. Got back after an hour or so and it's not in the Parking garage anymore. I'm hoping to get my heli back if at all possible.

[codexGW]

Another report of this.

So I got a new uav heli. Worked fine until after the restart which AGAIN made me unable to connect to it with my terminal. Literally nothing changed. I haven't died, switched teams or anything. I'm using the exact same terminal. I can't even imagine what the problem is anymore, but this is making me really irritated, especially if i have to spend 60000 every restart.

[codexGW]

Thanks man.

[codexGW]

Just got this report about UAV hacking again. Haven't confirmed this or had a response yet about them reporting it or anymore info about it.

Big Tex - Yesterday at 6:09 PM
I think I found a bug, as of 9:00 PM EST I had two drones taken control by someone who didn't not take ownership and was not in my group. I was not able to retake control and the dude destroyed them both.

[AgentRev]

need to know which team

[codexGW]

Looked up his remote control filter logs and he always plays ind on Tanoa.
