TFAR for Arma 3 Linux Version

Open BdMdesigN opened this issue 8 years ago • 43 comments

Would it be possible get TFAR as a Linux version for the Linux TS Client and ArmA 3 for Linux?

Dec 05 '15 04:12 BdMdesigN

currently not possible due arma not supports native libs on linux yet

Although the Linux ARMA 3 client is native Linux/GCC compiled code, what you are saying is the feature for supporting native Linux external libraries is not yet completely written into the Linux ARMA 3 client? (ie. Similar to other features not yet completed, such as Advanced Flight Model Rotolib, BattlEye, and Complete Joystick support.) If I'm correct on my interpretation of my last statement, supposedly version 1.54 Linux/Mac native clients will be released soon and then we'll see how much is completed. Hopefully enough so we can proceed within Linux.

@rogerxxxx yes, correct.

Now version 1.58 is out. Are there any new information?

Sep 17 '16 14:09 ghost

Hello, any news please? 1.64v is out for Linux. :) Thank you.

Dec 22 '16 11:12 zacekjakub

AFAIK Linux client still doesn't support Extensions.. We can't do anything till thats not implemented.

Dec 22 '16 14:12 dedmen

@zacekjakub I saw the solutions you got in ACE3, which were removing the PBOs dependant on dlls, TFARs effectiveness relies on dlls, I would assume it's capabilities were reliant on them due to the nature of the addon

Dec 22 '16 15:12 BryanBoru

Hi, thanks for the answers. So there is no chance rewriting the libraries and compiling it as so's for Linux?

To paraphrase, think they said any effort is futile until they implement (the upper level) extensions function. (AKA: modules or mods)

In my experience, ARMA 3 for Linux works extremely well aside from a few missing or required Steam related library environmental variables (eg. LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib32:/usr/lib64:/usr/lib32/apulse steam). But ARMA 3 for Linux is significantly stripped of such features as likely this extension feature, native joystick support, BattlEye, native support for microphone/recording(?) etc; that ARMA 3 for Linux is really not enjoyable to play with on Linux if you have a Windows OS available. What drives ARMA 3 for Linux further down in popularity, ARMA 3 for Linux is always exactly one version release behind ARMA 3 Windows released version almost to the date of each release. (As if saying Linux were not good enough.)

And what further irritates me, is having to deal with all the childish ARMA 3 Windows server admins. (It was more fun to play with the mature folks crowd.)

So to paraphrase and guessing from the past workflow of Bohemia Interactive, these features will likely be eventually overcome directly due to popularity unlike other past company's lackings with their Linux products or supposed hearsay Linux ventures. Or, they might all of a sudden drop updating. From what we've heard and seen, multi-platform is definitely a main goal.

Dec 23 '16 18:12 rogerxxxx

Compiling TFAR for Linux is not really straight forward... For example all communication between Arma and Teamspeak is using Windows exclusive API's so that would need to be fully rewritten. Also no one of the Dev's is on Linux.. so we would have to setup a VM or something to even compile it. Also as Linux is always one or two version behind we can never make sure that even the SQF scripts will work.. Because we may be using script commands that don't exist in the old version. Thats a lot of hassle for something that basically no one except some beta testers use... Because Linux being a version behind you are unable to play together with the rest 98% of Arma players that are on the recent version on Arma. So.. I can tell you.. Linux TFAR priority is verrrryyyy loooooooooow.

Dec 23 '16 18:12 dedmen

Count me in beta-testers of linux version of TFAR!

Jun 14 '17 08:06 Davilka

FYI: ArmA3 Linux branch is now Up-To-Date (1.76): https://dev.arma3.com/post/sitrep-00206

I'd love to see more Linux-Support in the most common mods. Especially TFAR!

Linux branch will stay up to date for 14 days. The priority for Linux version is now just below the priority for getting 1.0 released. But nothing really changed on the hardness to do it. Although.. Quite some stuff from my last post here changed. A lot of windows only stuff was rewritten and should now be easy to replace that stuff with a linux version

Nov 16 '17 13:11 dedmen

This is really nice to hear!

Arma3 Linux branch is now Up-To-Date again (1.80): guys can I help you somehow?

Mar 14 '18 11:03 sonicpp

Im just another linux user interested in this, any news?

Apr 15 '18 06:04 Nivelfacile

we might get our final version parity in the near future, anything being done to support linux or do you guys have some problem?

Aug 04 '18 18:08 Preisschild

As I said yesterday no big priority now as we want 1.0 out first. Linux compat shouldn't be alot of work.

Aug 05 '18 09:08 dedmen

No news? When I open teamspeak on my Linux computer it has addons option in setting. So is there maybe something possible now?

Jan 01 '19 18:01 theparrow

@theparrow teamspeak was never the problem. Arma linux client doesn't support it. And BI suspended the further development of the Linux client, so it might never actually happen.

Jan 01 '19 18:01 dedmen

Darn I didn't know that. Man as soon as I fell in love with Linux. Guess it's time to vm windows 10 and get arma back.

Jan 01 '19 18:01 theparrow

Well, with Proton Arma is perfectly playable with all mods including TFAR on non-battleye servers once you do one or two tweaks. Is there a way to make it work for a linux TFAR TS plugin to communicate with a Proton Arma TFAR plugin?

Is there a way to make it work for a linux TFAR TS plugin to communicate with a Proton Arma TFAR plugin

No. But you could try running Teamspeak in Wine/Proton and see if that connects.

Mar 13 '19 14:03 dedmen

I'll be damned, that actually works! Needs to be the same Wine/Proton bottle apparently and I had to tell Proton TS3 to use Direct sound for incoming/outgoing audio. I installed Proton TS3 using the Arma Proton bottle and it using the following script:

#!/usr/bin/env python import os import sys

home = os.environ["HOME"] os.environ["STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH"] = "/home/tacshen/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/107410"

run = "run" exe = "\"" + "/home/tacshen/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/107410/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Local Settings/Application Data/TeamSpeak 3 Client/ts3client_win64.exe\"" cmd = "\"" + "/home/tacshen/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton 3.16 Beta/proton\" "+ run + " " + exe

for arg in sys.argv[1:]: cmd += " " + arg

os.system(cmd)

Mar 14 '19 14:03 Viti0

@tacshen Could you explain what that script is doing/how to use it? I seem to have borked my install and will need to re-install proton bottle from scratch, and would like to do it the right way.

Apr 12 '19 23:04 gabevenberg

@Viti0 that script works great to get ts to launch, but when i try to connect to a server, it gives an error of Failed to connect to server: trying to connect to a server with an unsupported ip protocol. did you run into this?

Jul 29 '20 01:07 DrymarchonShaun

I've made progress. I have played a few hours with tfar and it almost works. teamspeak crashes randomly, and i think tfar is at fault. (cut some repeats of the errors out so it isn't as long.) If someone knows how to read teamspeak crashdumps, i can send one or two from different points in which it crashed.

Just found a work arround for it.

Installed Arma 3 with Lutris (Wine / Steam) and installed in the same prefix Java, Teamspeak and Arma3Sync.

Task Force Radio can connect to the Teamspeak in the same prefix and works fine as far as i can see.

Kudos for GangolfOvaert and Viti0... based on your comments I was able to make it run in Steam without any issues. This is how I have done it:

Viti0's script is brilliant, the only bit necessary is to configure it in a way it runs in the same prefix than Arma 3
I have been carefully reading the logs of my Arma 3 launcher and luckily I saw the following traces:

This build is licensed to 'Bohemia Interactive a.s.' for use within the scope of the following projects/products: 'All'.

Based on the previous execution command, the launcher is using few more environments parameters than Viti0's script.
- SteamGameId, LD_PRELOAD, STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH.
So, based on the previous findings... by adding the previous variables into Viti0's script:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import os
import sys
home = os.environ["HOME"]
os.environ["STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH"] = "/<myHomeDirectory>/.local/share/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/107410"
os.environ["SteamGameId"] = "107410"
os.environ["LD_PRELOAD"] = "/<myHomeDirectory>/.steam/steam/ubuntu12_64/gameoverlayrenderer.so"
run = "run"
exe = "\"" +  "/<myHomeDirectory>/.local/share/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/107410/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/TeamSpeak 3 Client/ts3client_win64.exe\""
cmd = "\"" + "/<myHomeDirectory>/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton 5.0/proton\" "+ run + " " + exe
for arg in sys.argv[1:]:
  cmd += " " + arg
os.system(cmd)

By doing that I was able to run TS and Arma in the same prefix. As a result I could play for many hours without issues. No crashes, no delays in the sound, It is just per-fect!

Hi @Franarroutado,

Could you please explain how exactly do you launch A3 and Teamspeak in the same container with this script?

Since when I attempt to do it, only the first application launcher. For example, when i start the python script Teamspeak opens and when I try to launch arma using the unix launcher, it just exits with the following output:

Running Arma:

When i try to launch it the otherway around, meaning that I start A3 via the A3 Unix Launcher, the python scripts exits with the following, without launching the Teamspeak 3.

ERROR: ld.so: object '/home/duchys/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_64/gameoverlayrenderer.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64): ignored.

below you can find the script I'm using:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import os
import sys

home = os.environ["HOME"]

os.environ["STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH"] = "/mnt/ssd/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/107410"
os.environ["SteamGameId"] = "107410"
os.environ["LD_PRELOAD"] = "/home/duchys/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_64/gameoverlayrenderer.so"


run = "run"
exe = "\"" +  "/mnt/ssd/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/107410/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/TeamSpeak3/ts3client_win64.exe\""
cmd = "\"" + "/home/duchys/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton 5.0/proton\" "+ run + " " + exe
for arg in sys.argv[1:]:
  cmd += " " + arg
os.system(cmd)

Is there anything I'm missing?

Thank you for any support.
