[Modset Update] Replacing MCC

Home » News

MCC is no longer running on the server, because it was conflicting with some stuff (and by some stuff, I mean quite a bit of stuff). 

We've kept MCC around in the past because it did have a lot of useful functions -- but now those have been replaced by other addons like ARES. 

Why was MCC removed?

The #1 reason: We stopped using a lot of its features. 

  • It conflicted with AI, and made them god-tier marksmen, capable of shooting people through walls and at obscene distances. 
  • It messed up ASR AI, our AI mod that was suppose to make AI a little more clever about using tactics, garrisons, and explosives. 
  • The infamous "MCC (desync) bug". Older members will know what I'm talking about here. 
  • You could surrender with a hidden MCC keybind, and you'd be stuck like that forever until someone shot you. 
  • It crashed the server more than a few times. 
  • Our version is super outdated, and the new versions add incomplete features that other addons already cover (e.g. medical systems that AGM already covers). 
  • "STAY STILL AND SHUT THE FUCK UP" will be a feature most people will be glad is gone but also missed (and it also means we don't have to tell new members to unbind those annoying MCC keybinds too!). 
  • MCC weather messed with Zeus weather a lot.

But I used X feature from MCC! What can I do now?

  • ARES lets you teleport people (single units, entire factions, the works). 
  • ARES lets you spawn dudes to reinforce existing dudes already. 
  • Fire support can be done through Zeus or ARES. 
  • Map saving/loading can be down through ARES's Save/Load module. 
  • You can spawn VAS via Curator Presets Modules (and designate ANY object as a VAS!) 
  • View distance adjustment is handled by the new addon below. 
  • You can do weather in Zeus, as always 
  • Bonus: The AI should be a lot smarter about movement and tactics now. They should back off when supressed, and use frag grenades more often.

What do I need to do to update? Installation?

  1. OPTIONAL: Disable MCC in your launch options. You can keep it on and nothing bad will happen, you just won't be able to use its features on the server anymore. 
  2. Download and install CH View Distance, as you would install any other addon by putting it in your Steam/steamapps/common/Arma 3 folder, and adding it to your launch options. It's a lot better than MCC's view distance setting, trust us! 
  3. Download and install Curator Presets Mod as you would any other addon. This adds some useful new modules for Zeus. 
  4. Say goodbye to MCC. Godspeed.
