custom\mgmTfA\psczvuznuilitltt.sqf no found.
 

I found out that there is nothing psczvuznuilitltt.sqf on mgmtfa

okay my bad.
here is the situation, from day one, I intended to make this script GNU GPL Free Software meaning anyone can see/modify/redistribute the source code.
however, in the early days, I did not license it under GPL, instead distributed in obfuscated and minimized form until I clean up the code.
now the code is cleaned up, licensed under GPL, source code made available, including all in line comments.

the problem you are experiencing is because you downloaded an ancient (obfuscated) copy with crazy file names.
the solution is downloading the latest (unobfuscated) version.

I will update this post in a few minutes, will give you the correct latest download link and will also update the README. sorry for the trouble!

EDIT:
I will try to get version 0.5.0 out this weekend but until then here is the latest available version: https://gitlab.com/themgm/Transport_for_Arma/tree/stable/release_packages/0.4.8-hotfix1
This was a rushed release, let me know if you experience any issues?

no worries. if you are doing it next week, then you can probably use the upcoming 0.5.0 version. remember to check this thread before you install...

EDIT: temporarily removed the rushed release, updated the 1st post as follows:

Currently there is no "recommended version" available - I will try and release version 0.5.0 this weekend.
Until then, if you wish to play with existing code grab the 0.4.1 from GitLab however I would recommend on waiting as so much has changed!

I haven't seen info on that update. Is there a post I've missed?

*edit* are you referring to 0.5.0 of this script or Epoch?

I was referring to Transport for Arma as OP is trying to install/test TfA

[mgm]

...so called a Taxi, got the radio message "Your taxi has arrived - please get in!"

as expected...

but after checking all sides of  building twice, no taxi??

 

then this...

 

I guess it's time to add a "nearest building must be >=50  m condition for spawn points"

If you open/close map three times quickly, still see no Transport for Arma custom GUI popup on your screen, it has got to be the BE filters.

There is no BattlEye filters sadly - I never got around to creating the boring filters partly because such a dreadful task.
Don't use the old BE filters from the depths of git repo as they are too old and were never fully ready either. They were created by a user of the script, nice attempt but never completed. 
So I suggest you "test" with BE turned off and see if everything else is working?

I will see if I can get proper BE filters this weekend - no promises though because I just bought Stellaris today & it's addictive :)

I have removed old BE filters. still same problem.

No connection to mouse or any other keyboard key (except map key). It is all about MAP_OPENED & MAP_CLOSED states of your Arma3. If this happens too quickly, it fires up the custom Transport for Arma GUI.

Can you try with your server's BattlEye off? Just to test. I mean turn it off in server cfg file completely with be = false. If all the issues go away as soon as you turn BattlEye completely off, it will confirm the cause.

Still same problem :/

same problem  = your server's  battleye is completely turned off (& server restarted since the change). you open & close the map three times, still no TfA GUI comes up, is that right?

 

if the answer is YES, can you help with troubleshooting by providing logs?  procedure is below if you are happy to assist...

 

1.  unPBO serverside mgmtfa.pbo file
2. open the CONFIGURATION file with a good text editor such as Notepad++
3. change the server-side verbosity & client-side verbosity both to 10
4. rePBO the serverside, and restart the server
5. do the same test again it will write a lot of information to both logs
6. and after the tests, please provide the contents of server-side and client-side log files. by posting their contents to pastebin separately and give me 2 separate links.

 

edit:
do you have any 3rd party "security" software that might be interfering? infiSTAR or something similar?
If you do have, again for test purposes, for 5 minutes, try turning it off so that we can understand what exactly is causing this issue.
I develop and test with BattlEye off and Epoch AntiHack on. I do not have any other 3rd party software.

where can i find log files?

[mgm]

it writes to the standard arma 3 server and arma 3 client log files - there is no special tfa log file.

 

Standard log locations are:

Server: under sc/ directory if I remember correctly.

Client log: is under user profile. On windows 7, c:\users\USERNAME\appdata\local\arma3 << something like that. I am on the phone now have a look and you should be able to find it easily.

If you're having difficulty just google and copy paste the exact path. This is all I remember.

Look awesome. Have ever try Lyft for your real ride. Lyft has feature to calculate estimated fare that will help to find your estimated lyft fare before starting your lyft ride. So feel free to use Lyft Fare Estimate to estimate your Lyft ride. For user guide you may watch this youtube video at:

Hi,

This mod is quite old now (last update was in 2016-05) so it won't work unless you go through the files & update it.
Personally I still didn't give up on this idea and I will at some point come back to this project and finish it however not anytime soon.

If you or anyone would like to work on this, I will be more than happy to answer any questions.

Thanks

[mgm]

I got a PM asking for the source code - here it is - remember last update was august 2016 so you  will need to update the code to make it work again:

EDIT fixed the link!

7zip password is three lowercase letters: 'tfa'

[lazyusuf]

ok 

Thanks

[lesvieuxcrevards]

Nice mod, i will try it soon. thank you.
