Am I right that the time Friday 7 PM ET is Friday 23:00 GMT (for us than Sunday 01:00 this server time (+2GMT) ? (assume it will be later in calendar after date confirmation from FNF team).
No ignore the date and time on the Document they produce one for every event it will most likely be Saturday the 30th of September.
Aha, I tought that they have the action like once per week or once per month regularly in the same time always, which is some kind intuitive, having it in the same time, like we do ops in 20:00 always, which is good.
Mother let me explain this better, they produce this document for every event yes but they are always on a Friday at the same time which is an American time and equates to 0000hrs GMT, they are inviting us to a special European event which if attendance is good will become a regular thing, the time and date for this is yet to be set but most likely the Saturday the 30th of September at 1900hrs GMT.
I’ll download mods. Hopefully I can be there.
Is it possible not to download all mods through workshop since we already have CUP in our repo?
I think we run a custom version of CUP as it does not marry up.
I have created a PvP mission which I plan to run tomorrow evening (2100 CET). It would be good if you all joined so we practice together.
It’s based on search and destroy gametype from CoD where one side needs to achieve one of two objectives in limited time (since this is Arma, time limit is 30 minutes, not 3 like in CoD). It will teach us:
- how to use local superiority in numbers
- how the above local superiority can exist only for a limited time (time-window) and that speed is mandatory
- how to prevent attacker from becoming a defender during the assault, which is very often what happens when you try to apply tactics to PvP games
Stuff is written in the briefing and I’m not going to go any further than this. If you’re free, join tomorrow at 2100.

I will do that mate once I have confirmation from them on time and date mate, I will send message now requesting an update.
Hey guys they have posted the event document date is set for Saturday the 7th of Oct. Hope to see you all there!!
Do we need all the mods from the list or can we use any we already have? Do we have the correct versions of CUP, CBA, ACE and RHS in our repo?
I have not checked mate I know that we run very customised versions of most mods so personally I just created a new folder and downloaded them again through the steam workshop link for the collection.
How do you pick where are mods downloaded?
I will make and upload a video to show all how to do it mate, but in the mean time they go in your workshop folder, don’t move them from there instead use arma3sync to create a repo for FnF it will all come in handy because I have a few other invites and they also use the steam workshop version which means we can reuse them very soon after this event.
I just downloaded all mods to the default folders and created a folder in ArmaSync in the end. Works fine and it has kept all my key bindings which I wasn’t sure it would. Only took me one night to download it all lol.
I’m good to go!
If you have not seen the event, it is up so sign up please Event Calendar - Carpe Noctem
Here is also a short video on how to get the mods you need and how to use them in Arma3Sync.

If I already have my current mods in the standard Arma 3 folder will the ones with the same name be overwritten?
If you’ve downloaded them from the repo, then no. They’ll be saved in a different location and won’t be overwritten if you download the same mod from the workshop. It may cause issues with ACE and CBA versions though.
