F3 v3-1-0 Released

The F3 team is pleased to announce the release of v3-1-0 of its mission development framework, our most significant release yet.

We've added and improved many features; highlights include:
  • Reworked folder structure: now F3 is more modular than ever.
  • Radio Systems Support: use ACRE or TFR via mission parameter.
  • F3 Simple Wounding System: ArmA 2-like medical system and dragging.
  • AI Caching: reduces server load by automatically caching distant enemies.
  • F3 Spectator Script: now with player tags, maps and a smoother camera.
  • Premount: fast and flexible way to premount troops in multiple vehicles.
  • MapClick Teleport: highly configurable, now supports HALO insertions.
  • Mission Conditions: Improved to take full advantage of improvements made in Arma 3.
  • AssignGear: Streamlined to ease modification of uniforms, backpacks and attachments.
  • Fixed issues with JIP and respawn, and implemented an improved JIP component.
To make it even easier to start using F3, we've updated our fully illustrated online tutorials for making adversarial and coop missions.

The core development team for v3-1-0 has been: Wolfenswan, Head, Cam, cptnnick. We would also like to thank the following communities in our wider review and testing team: Folk ARPS | Basterd ArmA | Black sh33p | Bourbon Warfare | Phantactical | Pointfire | Project Awesome | Team One Tactical | The Company
