blueman Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 I found treasure chests at shipwrecks. The game gives me the "search" option, when I search, the chest opens, and I can see that there are gems in it, but I have no way of taking them. Pressing "i" for inventory, in same way as looting other crates does not bring up a window Any idea? Is this a bug? I've seen youtube videos of others taking the treasure, and I see a small "hand" icon on their screen, but there are no instructions on "how to". :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Rogue Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 If you get in just the right position in front of the crate you will get a "Take All" option. You have to be quick about it though if you don't have a rebreather. I managed to pull it off yesterday without one but I was really close to drowning. I found that if you swim down once, open the crate with "Search", then go up and take a breath and then swim back down again and position yourself in front of the crate you can get the loot with "Take All".

blueman Posted March 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 Thanks. I have a rebreather. But just can't seem to get the "take all" option. Guess I'll keep fussing with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueman Posted March 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 I read somewhere that you need something called an "excavator" to loot treasure. Is that true? I have never seen anything spawn in game called an excavator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen anything spawn in game called an excavator. Nope, just keep trying different angles and you should get it eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueman Posted March 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Still nothing. Is it a mouse scroll thing? Or do I press inventory key? Also, are we talking about the same version of the software? Arma 3 Epoch .2.5.2 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FozzyBear Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 I'm having the same kind of issues dude and it's driving me mad. What I have experienced... - If I find a shipwreck that has been beached up on shore I can access the treasure box fine as I am not actually swimming at that point. - I've equipped a rebreather outfit and wetsuit and gone down to depths underwater and tried to loot underwater treasure but all I get is the option to Open, the box animates and opens, I see the contents but neither Inventory or Gear keys do anything, the Open scroll option remains and if I press it a second time I always get BE restriction error kicked from the game! ... This is becoming very annoying, I've read the other posts on this topic about positioning in front of the treasure box but I never get any other options, I've wasted so much time trying I could literally cry... Really hope some one can offer some advice. TY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwarfer Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Deep water chests you need to be running 0.3.0.x 0.2.5.2 you could not (think I am right on that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwarfer Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 If you are getting BE kicks the server you are playing on does not have the correct filters in place. If this is your server check the log files for BE and see what it is. Gut is probably addammo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FozzyBear Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Is it the battleye/scripts.txt where I need to look in for this problem? Sorry it is my own server but to be honest I know diddly squat about BE scripting so everything in this file is just jargon to me, any changes I've made to my server in the sqf and pbo files are purely out of dumb luck and following very sketchy step by step instructions from forums. Lol, although saying that, the server is currently running stable, I have the ai missions script in and also added floor loot spawning (simple I know but to me a complete novice I'm quite proud lol) Anyway, any advice please on what I'm looking for in the BE scripts, what to add in or remove/comment out? many thanks in advance.

Dwarfer Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 FozzyBear, Do it again in game so you get kicked, Make a not of what it says on screen. Something like "Script restriction #10" or something. Go into your BE folder and look for the .log file that is associated with the kick message (or go to your bec folder and under Log\Config\BeLog) and see what the log file says. Once you have that post back here and I can help you for the next step. Also take a read of the following very helpful for any BE nooby Ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FozzyBear Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Sorry I'm an idiot, just realised that you meant to check the BE scripts.log file for the reason for the kick... Ok, I entered game, purposely got myself kicked underwater trying to loot, got BE restriction kick #41 and the log file shows this report... #41 createDialog "QuickTake"; { _magazines = magazinesAmmoCargo _x; { _index = lbAdd[1500, getText(configfile >> "cfgMagazines" >> " What do you guys think?

FozzyBear Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Thank you for your help mate, I can confirm it's working 100%, read that forum post and made the 2 changes to the scripts.txt and just tried the server, was able to open the box and take the contents with no kicks. Sweet. You're a star! cring0 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ka0Z Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 OK, latest you can no longer loot treasure underwater? It seems they changed the way loot works in 'containers' when you search they now fall to the floor. this is fine above water but means you can NO LONGER pick up loot UNDERWATER! Please fix this soon or tell me what I'm doing wrong (in this instance .. smarties!) :) ARMA 3 put a great deal into the 'water game play', it's now quite pointless. ka0Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
