yeah, vis lod takes prio

hollow fulcrum May 10, 2016, 6:54 PM

#

hmm

#

thats interesting, and its res0?

#

that seems maybe not so bright.. but considering mass lack of performance lods anyway. /shrug

quick terrace May 10, 2016, 6:56 PM

#

if there is no lodNoshadow present

#

it will use vis lods (and will actually change to the next one)

This is the sitrep where they mentioned it https://dev.arma3.com/post/sitrep-00138

Our programmers have decided to make the lives of content creators easier, mainly for those creating new models. They will be able to use a technology that generates shadows of objects on-the-fly based on the shape of a resolution LOD.

Buoyancy LOD

#

or changing weights of Geo lod

zenith quartz May 10, 2016, 9:36 PM

#

"Buoyancy LOD" how exactly?

#

https://gyazo.com/f87538fb92ebb4bba6ed08d52a52936e

#

this is what i've

kind lion May 10, 2016, 9:54 PM

#

reducing the size of the buoyancy lod

#

better put, the size of the components in the buoy lod

#

either that or raise mass in the geo lod

hollow fulcrum May 10, 2016, 10:28 PM

#

@zenith quartz you'll want to try and keep the bouyLod in the same general shape of your hull. it does not need to be the full height, just whatever is going to be touching the water. basically the engine calculates the volume of the bouyLod as displacement. so you have to weight things against that.

zenith quartz May 10, 2016, 10:30 PM

#

it's a LCVP, basically i should resize the bouy lod and cut off the side wall?

hollow fulcrum May 10, 2016, 10:31 PM

#

cut the top off is what i would do.

zenith quartz May 10, 2016, 10:31 PM

#

ok ty, i'll try

hollow fulcrum May 10, 2016, 10:32 PM

#

the goal is simply to make it smaller, so it doesn't 'weigh/displace' so much. if you get to a point where water is hitting the top of your bouy lod, then your best bet is to add more weight and compensate with engine power.

#

@zenith quartz the more i look at it, you might want to consider making it so it can't take on water. it's a config settting, forget which one.. but you almost need the top of your bouyLod in the water. tis a bit of a special case.

hollow fulcrum May 10, 2016, 10:39 PM

how much weight you have on it?

zenith quartz May 10, 2016, 10:39 PM

#

1792.308

hollow fulcrum May 10, 2016, 10:39 PM

#

oh no no, need much more.

#

try something like 15000

#

and i would use the 4 box solution for weighting. much easier to tweak otu the physx.

zenith quartz May 10, 2016, 10:40 PM

#

mass is not real mass right?

#

yeah, already using it

hollow fulcrum May 10, 2016, 10:41 PM

#

it is. sort of.

wraith tendon May 10, 2016, 10:41 PM

#

@hollow fulcrum Nah, not soooo much (1.8k should be enough).
(I wish my fkn HDD wouldn't have died... i could have watched my testmodel)

hollow fulcrum May 10, 2016, 10:41 PM

#

you bouy lod is being calculated as water in kg's

#

so you can calculate it yourself

wraith tendon May 10, 2016, 10:41 PM

Speed/Acceleration comes in play, iirc when the Weight was too high, it took ages to accelerate

side note: seems quixel suite conflicts with particular naming conventions within model files (001,002,003). this will cause the app to fail on output, on project build. they will however load into the viewer standalone.

Hey guys. I made a ballistic shield, and the ballistic protection is weird. We connected to our server, and we tried to shoot a friend that had the shield, shield was deflecting bullets. But after a certain time, the shield doesn't provide any protection anymore. It's like the shield weren't there, literraly, same amout of damages with or without the shield. After that, I get back in the Virtual Arsenal to try it out, and bullets are being deflected again... Any ideas ?

#

Here is my fire geometry LOD: https://i.gyazo.com/4d352c114f58b0bc77097453c2fc3cd4.png

hollow fulcrum May 12, 2016, 1:32 AM

#

so it works for a bit, then stops working after being shot. is it dying?

last spindle May 12, 2016, 1:39 AM

#

Anything with armour takes damage, eventually it's armour value becomes 0 and it provides 0 protection

oblique vapor May 12, 2016, 2:47 AM

#

@hollow fulcrum yes

I even re-added him one shield, not working

oh its all good, but kinda negates the first thought.

oblique vapor May 12, 2016, 3:01 AM

I think you got a point @last spindle, Arsenal is local and works fine, but once in the server, works in a weird way.

hollow fulcrum May 12, 2016, 3:03 AM

#

empty mission or something significant?

oblique vapor May 12, 2016, 3:03 AM

#

Well that's fairly significant and has alot of traffic between players / server

hollow fulcrum May 12, 2016, 3:07 AM

#

just thinking it would be best to eliminate all other possibilities. especially if/when dealing with MP things.

#

so clean mission, a box, and some shields.

Will do, thanks !

if it doesn't do it then.. i hate life for you.

oblique vapor May 12, 2016, 3:35 AM

The fact that the server handles all the traffic concerning shots and damages is basically a joke actually

#

But yeah, will try to find a solution

last spindle May 12, 2016, 4:41 AM

Not really, no other way to handle it effectively in multiplayer

#

Imagine the exploits if projectile collisions were on the client and not confirmed at all by the server

hollow fulcrum May 12, 2016, 4:44 AM

so buildings have occlusion lods now?

bleak tangle May 12, 2016, 4:48 AM

Not an occlusion LOD, in the view geometry you can specify an occluder

hollow fulcrum May 12, 2016, 4:50 AM

#

i see

bleak tangle May 12, 2016, 4:55 AM

#

There is not a lot of information about it and I don't even think the sample model has been updated

Some apparent pictures of them though https://twitter.com/foxhoundint/status/708239398706368512

hollow fulcrum May 12, 2016, 4:55 AM

#

yeah i just read what i could find

#

yeah, straight render blockers.

#

that might actually be really useful with a couple of larger assets im dinking around with though.

#

and if the bring they resolution LOD based shadow casting foo..

#

i might be happy for a bit

#

would like the roadways on ShipX to work and a couple animation sources, but meh.. 😆

bleak tangle May 12, 2016, 4:59 AM

#

Yeah it could be, I'm just not sure what the best way to test it is other than just comparing FPS with 100s of the building spawned with/without occluders. I'm hesitant as well because you can hurt performance by not doing it properly

hollow fulcrum May 12, 2016, 5:00 AM

#

shouldnt be too hard to test out. im curious how or if it works properly when i go hooking 20 something odd buildings together. would not be suprised if thats a fail scenario.

#

really more curious about the shadow stuff.

#

as that can reduce workload significantly haha

@hollow fulcrum Hatchet - Today at 5:00 AM
sorry, not ignoring you, real world children are running amok..
hrmm, thats a fair bit o armor there.

#

are we meant to be the virtual children then? 😛

#

btw I started implementic geometric occluders in my buildings, had some interesting results in terms of fps

#

@bleak tangle 30% fps more in this area (occluders applied to the 10 stories - all enterable - towers only) http://i.imgur.com/5qITISo.jpg

hollow fulcrum May 12, 2016, 1:40 PM

#

Well that's significant. I still need to test it with things like the oil rigs, seems promising though. Thanks for info @Schultz

bleak tangle May 12, 2016, 2:52 PM

#

@celest arch Question time if you don't mind then. How many occluders? Is it only covering walls, or a cube in the shape of the building? Did you do a proxy occluder as well or no interior?

celest arch May 12, 2016, 4:05 PM

#

Those towers are a bit unique

#

They have the base plus roof model, then separate staircase shaft and each floor is another model

#

So I added a big occluder to each floor

#

For now, it works fine at the end of the day it's a big 40x40x30 meters occluder

#

I was also wondering if adding an occluder to trees would improve performance, as trees are usually the most used objects on a map

#

Trees, walls also

#

Walls will have a big impact

frozen stirrup May 12, 2016, 6:56 PM

#

I guess it should work with walls, but wouldnt that lead to strange results with trees?

#

"[...] there must be as few of GOs in scene as possible and they should be as big as possible. When there is too much small GOs it may happen that computing occlusion will be more consuming than to render those occluded objects."

celest arch May 12, 2016, 8:38 PM

#

JUST TO THE TRUNK OF THE TREE

#

whops caps sry

last spindle May 12, 2016, 8:46 PM

#

not worth it, how often is something 100% behind a tree, and calculating a forest worth of occluders is going ro cost more than just drawing them probably, they talked about it when releasing info on the occluder tech

Hmm, what about a "wall" of trees?

#

Trees staggered and grouped closely together with one big occluder behind it

#

Could be used to break up different scenery in a map and to possibly get better performance

#

Essentially a tree line model

@shadow matrix Wait, Res LOD casting shadow is coming ?

polar fiber May 13, 2016, 10:30 AM

#

you've always been able to cast shadows with the res LOD, using the shadow buffer. Just shadow buffer isn't good for certain types of objects

oblique vapor May 13, 2016, 10:31 AM

#

Are there any doc on that ?

polar fiber May 13, 2016, 10:34 AM

#

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Oxygen_2_-_Manual

#

it's a matter of how you set up the LODNoShadow, sbsource and prefershadowvolume named properties

oblique vapor May 13, 2016, 10:39 AM

#

Oh I see. So I might get rid of those ugly hard harpened shadows ?

polar fiber May 13, 2016, 10:43 AM

#

yes, shadowbuffer is the shadow type used for buildings etc. But like I said it's no good for certain types of model like weapons, units and vehicles because they they don't have enough fidelity for certain close details

#

BIS mentioned it in a sitrep

oblique vapor May 13, 2016, 10:44 AM

#

Alright, so buildings and objects = shadowBuffer, and anything else detailled = shadowLOD. Didn't heard of it until now. Will experiment things !

polar fiber May 13, 2016, 10:46 AM

Are there additionnal config lines to add in the model ? Added the correct named properties, no shadows in game

cosmic stream May 13, 2016, 2:39 PM

#

check the properties in the sample, in each LOD, also I may be wrong but in order to have those shadowbuffer i still needed a shadow LOD

polar fiber May 13, 2016, 2:57 PM

#

yeah, I just checked the BISIM guide and it states that building type objects need a shadowLOD for shadowbuffer. It's units etc. where you can force it from the vis LOD

bleak tangle May 14, 2016, 3:53 PM

What is it for? Looking at the samples the house has 739 and the car has 246

#

I'm sure there are other buildings and vehicles that have more

last spindle May 14, 2016, 10:59 PM

#

as few as possible to get the job done, 25,000 is like 25,000 times to many for hitpoints

placid bough May 14, 2016, 11:55 PM

#

more point you have more precision for hit, i try to set thickness of 100mm .I want create a monster truck . for the start i begin with the wheels . wheel have 1 meter radius i got 2808 points for 1 wheel

#

all point are inside the size of wheel with a space of 100mm between the points close of the FireGeometry and the FireGeometry

#

and sorry i forget to said i have 2808 point in Hit-Point LOD

last spindle May 15, 2016, 3:34 AM

#

more hitpoints will not make your hit detection any better, if anything it will probably make it worse

#

please tell me you do not have 2808 hitpoints for a wheel?

I've no idea how you lot can face the niggly detail inherent in any 3D content. I've just got my head around how to re-UV a model over a different skin but blanched when I thought about having to repeat the process for every LOD (admittedly I was using Object Builder). Programming offers far more instant gratification.

thorn spire May 15, 2016, 9:24 PM

#

Cause real stock making is much more easier

bleak tangle May 15, 2016, 9:26 PM

#

In what program were you doing the UV in?

#

Oh just saw your edit

polar fiber May 15, 2016, 9:28 PM

#

Editing other peoples' models is normally more of a pain in the ass like that than making something yourself

torn pilot May 15, 2016, 9:29 PM

#

I figured that was a factor but got to start somewhere.

#

(Hopefully not with modelling a box).

bleak tangle May 15, 2016, 9:30 PM

#

I don't know how anyone can work with Object Builder after using another modeling program

polar fiber May 15, 2016, 9:30 PM

#

Indeed. Generally the process you'd go through when creating your own model would be to do the most detailed LOD, then unwrap it. Then when you generate the lower LODs by removing edges and vertices, the UV coords for the vertices that remain, are still in the maps for that LOD

#

To do it with en existing model I suppose you'd have to repeat the proces to reproduce that lower LOD in a way that matched the original

#

But then it becomes excessive compared to simply moving the UVs to match what you did to the first LOD

torn pilot May 15, 2016, 9:34 PM

#

Just wanted a nice M16A2 to go with Delta Hawk's units. Quite like the BIS model but the skin/UV is a mess. Way beyond my skills or ambition to create something like that from scratch.

outer condor May 16, 2016, 6:35 AM

#

is there a good way to create an overview of reskin possibilities for models?

like dep3d can extract selections, yet it dumps all and not only those meant to be used/possible to use for hiddenSelections[Textures] (not much clue about this, so no idea if one can make the distinction with tools at a all, or if human judgement is needed)

so is hiddenSelections[Textures] definitions overview from configs the best that can be done?

last spindle May 16, 2016, 6:52 AM

#

you are probably better to use the model.cfg because hiddenSelections can be defined and present, but not used at all in a config.cpp

#

but the array from the mode.cfg also contains things like headlights and crap

outer condor May 16, 2016, 6:55 AM

#

yup 😃

#

the problem for me is to determine what is intented selections for reskin and which arent (without looking at each p3d in o2 to figure it out the hard way..)

last spindle May 16, 2016, 7:27 AM

#

but you cannot, any modder can name there selections anything and use them in what ever way they choose, you just have to get the lists and try

outer condor May 16, 2016, 7:45 AM

#

alright. i guess going with the current config definitions is the best way to start with

echo rain May 16, 2016, 7:47 AM

#

ye would make more sense pulling them from the config

#

or do you want to make use of unused sections from the model.cfg?

#

by defining those in the config

outer condor May 16, 2016, 7:50 AM

#

the overview is to allow ppl make reskins for IFA3

#

plus complete overview for us ourselves would be useful to know whats still missing, and which selections havent been used so far (arm patches, etc)

torn pilot May 16, 2016, 7:52 AM

#

you could maybe try and automate a selection list using the HitPart EH, presume the selection list it provides refers to the same thing

outer condor May 16, 2016, 7:53 AM

#

interesting idea. worth a try i guess

or some of the new geo script commands; https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/intersect (<== not a new one)

sturdy parcel May 16, 2016, 8:20 AM

#

the thing is, if you have a hippopotamus, which nostril do you want to reskin? how do you know it even has nostrils? You have to know the model in each instance. what are the ears called, does it have a trunk, are there any ski's attached at the bottom, what are they called.....

#

since you're in command of the ifa mod, it's entirely up to you to call sections as reskin_blah and stick to a list of labels for what blah is. A canopy, a door, a hood, a trunk.

white jay May 16, 2016, 10:08 AM

#

Hey guys, I'm hitting a wall right now. I must be either blind or stupid. I'd like to write a config for a simple item. That's what I have so far:

#

class CfgPatches
{
class tfw_ilbe {

    units[] = {
        "tfw_whipItem"
    };
    weapons[] = {
        "tfw_whip"
    };
    requiredVersion = 1.0;
    requiredAddons[] = {"task_force_radio", "task_force_radio_items"};
    author[] = {"Raspu"};
    version = 1.1;
    versionStr = "1.1";
    versionAr[] = {1,1,0};
};

};

#

class CfgVehicles {
class Item_Base_F;
class tfw_whipItem: Item_Base_F {
scope = 2;
scopeCurator = 2;
displayName = "VHF Blade Antenna";
vehicleClass = "Items";
class TransportItems {
class tfw_whip {
name="tfw_whip";
count=1;
};
};
};
};

#

class CfgWeapons {

class ItemCore;
class InventoryItem_Base_F;

class tfw_whip: ItemCore {
    scope = 2;
    scopeCurator = 2;
    model = "\tfw_ilbe\data\model\whip\tfw_whip_item.p3d";
    picture="\tfw_ilbe\data\icons\ilbe_icon.paa";
    displayName="VHF Blade Antenna";
    descriptionShort ="Test";
    class ItemInfo: InventoryItem_Base_F {
        mass = 15;
        allowedSlots[] = {901};
    };
};

};

#

The model just won't show up in arsenal and i can't add it via additem as well. Does somebody spot my error?

sturdy parcel May 16, 2016, 10:24 AM

where is the model.p3d for cfgVehicles?

ANybody have an idea why Topogun export scales the mesh way down

cosmic stream May 16, 2016, 12:12 PM

#

scale issues between software grids are often easy to solve : scale x100 or 0.1 usually, check if it works

#

(some software are using differents rules for their unit measure, for example iirc zbrush has it's own way to handle units)

fast topaz May 16, 2016, 12:36 PM

#

is there any software out there which generates plants? so that I can make a tiny weed plant?

white jay May 16, 2016, 1:09 PM

#

ok it turns out you can't just have an item in arma without a function

#

class tfw_ItemCore: ItemCore {
type = 131072;//4;
detectRange = -1;
simulation = "ItemMineDetector";
};

class tfw_whip : tfw_ItemCore {
    scope = 2;      
    scopeArsenal = 2;
    scopeCurator = 2;
    model = "\tfw_ilbe\data\model\whip\tfw_whip_item.p3d";
    picture="\tfw_ilbe\data\icons\ilbe_icon.paa";
    displayName="VHF Blade Antenna";
    descriptionShort ="Test";
    class ItemInfo: InventoryItem_Base_F {
        mass=10;
    };
};

#

this works but only because i inherit from minedetector

#

this solution is fine for me BUT when i put the item on the ground now the model is rotated 90°

#

im gonna go eat a broom

sturdy parcel May 16, 2016, 1:13 PM

#

all the same, nice detective work.

#

i don't think providing a cfgVehicles class serves any purpose btw.

#

perhaps being overly pendantic but, inheriting is a naughty word. you def ain't doing that. you are using an engine animation.

#

and you might try other types of simulation to see if the 90 degree problem goes away.

polar fiber May 16, 2016, 1:21 PM

#

@white jay, yeah, that's why people often use dummy cfgMagazines objects as "inert" inventory items that don't have a function like a toolkit, medkit, mine detector etc. does. But the drawback of that is that they're not directly selectable in Arsenal

white jay May 16, 2016, 1:34 PM

#

yep, i think im actually gonna go the cfgMagazines way rather than to have the item available in arsenal

#

tbh i just don't understand how such a simple task is so god damn hard to implement in arma

#

inconvenient to say the least

#

@sturdy parcel cfgVehicles is for having the item availble in the editor

sturdy parcel May 16, 2016, 1:41 PM

#

i honestly can't see how that's possible without a model=

#

depending on the inherited class of course, you run the risk of a ctd.

Are the pockets definitely within a named selection?

#

In my experience, if something is at your feet it's because it doesn't have named selection or an entry in the model.cfg.
Since you say the vest is on correctly that means it's probably not model.cfg related as I don't think only part of a model.cfg can be broken with clothing items

highlight the pouches/pockets and then go to the spine selection you want them to be linked to and then right click the selection and "redifine"

How do you do the re-topology work to get a low poly model ? You just model within the high-poly polygons ?

tacit karma May 18, 2016, 10:40 AM

#

it depends on the part of the mesh. Usually I already model in a mid-poly workflow, and for some parts it's enough to simply remove excess edges or optimize. Some parts are remodeled.

oblique vapor May 18, 2016, 10:41 AM

#

I see. And concerning the UV Map, how do you even apply the high poly bakes on the low poly one ? Must be a pain in the ass

tacit karma May 18, 2016, 10:41 AM

#

Well, that's baking in a nutshell.

#

Usually tho, the more time you spend on your hghpoly, the better your final model looks. And that equation works exponentially IMHO

Hey folks, I got hit up by a friend who is on the look out for environment artists who can work in UE4. Project will last 6 months and would be a fulltime position. Just thought I would reach out there and see if anyone was interested.

ok I might require some extra help with my weapon animations 😃

#

it seems like the actual weapon p3d location prevails no matter how I set my weapon bone

#

in Blender: http://i.imgur.com/YrlkirP.png

#

in game http://i.imgur.com/vyNbo9E.jpg

#

I need some wisdom to shine upon me

polar fiber May 18, 2016, 2:36 PM

#

If it's just done with handanim, the weapon bone doesn't move. The animation IK part for handanim is done from the relative position of the hand bones to the weapon bones, not the other way around.

sturdy parcel May 18, 2016, 2:37 PM

#

similar to volant, right?

polar fiber May 18, 2016, 2:39 PM

#

You'd need to make a new gesture or something for the unit to hold the weapon in a different position. Or possibly offset the weapon model position inside its .p3d and produce a new handanim relative to that, though it'd maybe look a bit odd. I did something of the like in the past for Arma 2. Was for an MG, positioned like it was hip-shooting from the waist - but you kind of got gibbon arms during the sprint animation

celest arch May 18, 2016, 2:40 PM

#

yeah thats what I was fearing

#

thanks, I'll try and fiddle around with the p3d positioning

#

pack-> check in game -> adjust rinse and repeat

polar fiber May 18, 2016, 2:41 PM

#

@sturdy parcel for the hands following the steering wheels you mean? In a way that's kind of different, but the animation is applied relative to axis set up in the vehicle model (i.e. the position of the bone that the hands move relative to is described by model.cfg transpose rather than .rtm), so yes they are kind of fixed positions

sturdy parcel May 18, 2016, 2:44 PM

Is there an efficient way to block players to enter a model ? e.g. a building. In the geometry LOD, is it better to double the amount of wall geometry ? Like instead of 1 block for a wall, it would be divided in two blocks. I don't know, players can glitch thrugh byu vaulting over...

you can only set the mass in the geolod, unless you mean the actual geometry of the objects in the geolod

@errant pumice afaik they are modified m1114's to have more armour

the woodland version looked very similar to the pic you posted

#

does the property name is important for the Gemoetryy phys LOD ?

#

i want to have collision when the car hit the water. like vehicle arma3

#

but i create a empty blank Geometry, and Geometry Phys when i walk the Geometry is fine i cannot walk inside the object but when the car was moving to the water , thats continue at the same speed until i'll been ejected of the car

#

and the geometry is really simple

#

segment radius 32 all other size and radius all is 1 , so i have 4 cylinder like it and 1 square for the body of car

#

and its supposed to be simple geometry lod : wheel_1_1_damper ,wheel_1_2_damper , wheel_2_1_damper ,wheel_2_2_damper + componnent names (structure>convexity>component convex hull)

#

i do same for Geometry Phys LOD created a empty box (structure>convexity>component convex hull) ... and this is supposed to be fine.. i have creat some vehicle in the last 2 years and i had already succesfull a geometry Phys LOD , but i just dont understand how i maked it , i make so many test like it : test then error , test then error , test then error ,test then oh my god succes but i dont memories on all i make

#

in OB, is it possible to "move" a selection into an existing section ?

#

let's say I have glass_1_hide, and glass_1_unhide selection and I want to move them into a Door_1 selection that already exists

fast topaz May 19, 2016, 7:38 PM

#

select your door_1 selection and your other selections then rightclick your door_1 selection and click redefine

cosmic stream May 19, 2016, 7:40 PM

#

thanks, any reasons why the glass isn't following the door rotation ?

#

even if it's in the door_1 section

bleak tangle May 19, 2016, 7:48 PM

#

What does it look like in your model.cfg?

#

Based on the sample house

            "Glass_3",                "Door_1",
            "Glass_3_hide",            "Door_1",
            "Glass_3_unhide",        "Door_1",
            "Glass_3_effects",        "Door_1",

#

That's an entry in skeletonBones and should allow the glass to move with the door

oh, ok

not very familiar 😄 i'm still copy pasting my value

is think i went a bit overkill on this building... 45 doors, 63 windows... http://i.imgur.com/Corv6aj.jpg never again doing a big structure like this 😦

#

still need to make proper collision, shadows and IA path

#

oh, and btw, maybe someone already seen this bug : i have weird artifacts on surfaces, like a texture flikering on top of rvmat, kind of a ghost UV multiplying with other rvmat... You can "see" on the front pillars, the "tiled black lines" should be there... When i move camera, it flicks randomly (seems like a MC or AS texture projected).

Hey! Is it allowed to pay people for small edits in models? I was thinking that it could be OK if you paid people for the work, not the results.

We would have a small job for capable model creator (slight edits of few models that we have). We're willing to pay for the job.

cosmic stream May 21, 2016, 2:50 PM

I think it's your money, you are free to do whatever you want with it. But I doubt you'll find a 3D modeler, or a modder to edits file for a cheap pay.

thorn turret May 21, 2016, 2:57 PM

@cosmic stream I mean that we don't want to break BI EULA. What comes to edits, they're quite small (so the pay won't be that big, but it's good compared to the time that making these edits take).

#

@foggy finch

foggy finch May 21, 2016, 3:17 PM

#

usually if your requesting something you say what it is they will be required to do in your advertisement

why ?

I was hoping to do the same thing haha

#

did you have a sample for the bones?

placid bough May 21, 2016, 6:57 PM

i dont have bones

#

i just take a 3d model on web and paint the weight and named some selection and then all in script

civic stratus May 21, 2016, 6:57 PM

#

how did you know which names to assign each part?

placid bough May 21, 2016, 6:58 PM

#

i maked my own skeleton

#

i imagine what it should move or not and create a selection for the part i want to mouve you need a second selection with painted vertige of a % desired (like if i want move the tail i will devise it on 3 part the bacl of the taill move at 100)

#

5move at 100% of animation the midle move at 50% of the animation and thefront of the tail move at 15 % of the animation

#

but you must adapte your painted vertige to your desir

#

for painted press "N"

#

completly red = 100% completly blu = 0%

not really. does not really work under physx properly. you can rig it, kinda.. and i think they removed the old simulation. not 100% on that.

sturdy parcel May 21, 2016, 11:26 PM

#

can't say i had any trouble with porting cwr2_kolo (a bicycle). i used MMT_driver for the animation and inherited the class from a3's bicycle.

#

ditto the jawa, but not thouroughly tested.

#

i the case of the jawa of course, it inherited from motorcycle.

#

perhaps the fault is not the simulation= which prolly still works just fine, but the there's no suitable rtm in a3 for the human.

#

again, for the kolo, i used TT650_Driver.rtm

#

and both rtms were modified to strip their headbones

hollow fulcrum May 22, 2016, 12:30 AM

i actually never thought about stripping the old animations, that might have been why i didn't pursue it further at the time. dont think we knew about removing the heads then.

because this is an issue of porting, you are trying to emulate the intention of the original author, not create an rtm that rotates a pink parasol above your head.

Quick question,
I'm currently having trouble with my model.cfg
I've setup the magazine_hide animation to have a hideValue and unhideValue
But it appears that the magazine stays hidden from the hideValue untill the end of the animation.
Anyone familiar with this?

i'll test it with it named in Sections too. I'll ket you know if it works in a minute

Hey guys, in advance sorry for all the questions.
Hopefully any of you knows the sulution to my last problem.
I'm currently working on a weapon named the Colt C7/C8 NLD.

The problem is that the sighting of the undersluck does not seem to work to how i've set it up.
I've added the memory points like gl_eye_x and gl_look.
I've added them to the config.cpp in class AG36 : UGL_F like this:

{
    useModelOptics = 0;
    useExternalOptic = 0;
    reloadAction = "GestureReloadKatibaUGL";
    cameraDir = "gl_look";
    discreteDistance[] = {50,100,150,200,250,300,350,400};
    discreteDistanceCameraPoint[] = {"gl_eye_50","gl_eye_100","gl_eye_150","gl_eye_200","gl_eye_250","gl_eye_300","gl_eye_350"};
    discreteDistanceInitIndex = 1;
};

Current situation the look seems to be from the center of the model looking straight ahead and not changing on zeroing.
Anyone familiar with this issue or knows what i did wrong?

oblique vapor May 22, 2016, 10:32 PM

#

Try using memoryPointCamera = "gl_look"; instead of Camera Dir

#

I don't know, never made weapons with GLs

#

Does anyone know if it's possible to change the weapon's hands animations on the fly ? For exemple, creating a vertigrip accessory, equiping it on a weapon, and therefore it changes the hands position

class AG36 : UGL_F

#

do not use FULL_UPPER_CASE

#

MIxED_uppEr_CasE is fine

#

full_lower_case is fine

#

FULL_UPPER_CASE is a disaster waiting to happen.

#

do not copy bis mistakes. they should have known better.

#

it is an industry wide 'convention' that full upper case is the domain of #defines. ignore that convention at your peril.

#

You are shouting to any coder worth paying a salary that AG36 actually means:

#

#define AG36 pink_elephant

torn pilot May 23, 2016, 2:01 AM

#

widely used convention yes, but somewhat overstated as a 'disaster', makes no functional difference and merely the product of its 'Proper/Title Case' (if acronyms are capitilized, as is also widely done) being all upper case. if you adopt a convention (like Title Case) it should be applied consistently even if that sometimes yields all caps

sturdy parcel May 23, 2016, 2:58 AM

I know where you're coming from Defunct, as much as you know and understand my comment too. This is bis we are dealing with, and this is users who do make noob mistakes not appreciating the subtleties. I've seen too many #define errors caused by above to be anything less than adamant about this. If i could exagerate it more, I would.

lime valve May 23, 2016, 6:47 PM

#

I've changed my configs to be MIxED_uppEr_CasE, to advoid conflicts.
Wich at first did not fix the issue.

I've changed from gl_look to OP_look and gl_eye_50m to OP_eye, OP_eye1, ect
Wich i beleive has helped to fix the issue because with the gl_look it doesn't seem to be working

Eventually after digging trough the sample models BI released for Arma 3 i've saw the part i was missing.
Its weaponInfoType = "RscWeaponZeroing";

Now my sight are working 😃 ! Yay.

Thanks for the advice guys.

bleak tangle May 28, 2016, 12:50 AM

You don't need to triangulate geometry LODs, it needs to be closed, convex, have mass, and all pieces need to be part of a named selection with the naming convention of Componentxx

A quick note about a couple of issues like these, it's easier to spot with helmets, but if in game the item is at your waist and following the body part correctly (follow head turns) but not placed correctly it's likely missing autocenter = 0 in geometry LOD and possible height adjustment in the p3d from there. If it's on the ground and not following the character's animations it is most likely missing a bone which comes down to missing named selection in the p3d or no/wrong entry in model.cfg

wind belfry May 28, 2016, 9:27 PM

#

y, will keep that in mind

wise coral May 28, 2016, 9:38 PM

#

Ya I've missed armaman a couple times in my model.cfg

bleak tangle May 28, 2016, 9:39 PM

#

Poor ArmaMan, always getting left out

wise coral May 28, 2016, 9:39 PM

#

Yep sad

oblique vapor May 29, 2016, 2:32 PM

I have a weird issue with my weapon. It basically has a mag with only one bullet in it. When operating the weapon, trigger and bolt don't move, like if I have 2 bullets to fire, the moment the mag reaches 0 bullet the animations don't play.

quick terrace May 29, 2016, 2:37 PM

#

no one can guess how your model.cfg looks like

oblique vapor May 29, 2016, 2:48 PM

#

class trigger
{
type="translation";
source="reload";
selection="trigger";
axis="trigger_axis";
sourceAddress = clamp;
minValue = 0;
maxValue = "1";
offset0 = 0;
offset1 = 0.5;
};

#

It's a basic model.cfg

#

Once you run out of ammo, when you fire the last bullet, the animation don't play

#

But other bullets works fine (don't know if that's clear)

lime valve May 29, 2016, 2:49 PM

#

Have you defined all you important selections in model.cfg

oblique vapor May 29, 2016, 2:49 PM

#

Yes

#

As I said, the animation works

#

But not when you only have 1 bullet in your magazine

fast topaz May 29, 2016, 2:50 PM

#

i think that is normal

#

and has to do with soruce = "reload"

#

because reload is like everytime a new bullet gets chambered

oblique vapor May 29, 2016, 2:53 PM

#

If I use it with revolving, well I get bad results

#

Has anyone used "trigger" source animation so far ?

#

Well guess I found my solution

polar fiber May 29, 2016, 5:13 PM

#

I've updated the RHS weapons to use trigger.0, trigger.1 etc for v.160

#

you should use isEmpty or isEmptyNoReload to move the bolt back after the final round

@shrewd jay Hey Alwarren. I've had alot of issue's with my ColtC7's Shadows that were being cast very weirdly. After alot of research i figured out its the Aimpoint + 3x magnifier that does this.
I beleive on LOD 3.0 the shadows are off.
Perhaps you could help me on this issue or perhaps you're already aware of it?

shrewd jay May 29, 2016, 7:37 PM

#

Hm, they only have 2 shadow lods

lime valve May 29, 2016, 7:38 PM

#

I can provide screenshots if nesseccary, It only seems to occur on a specific LOD. (tested on multiple weapons)

shrewd jay May 29, 2016, 7:38 PM

#

I'll check it, maybe the 10.0 shadow lod has issues

#

Thanks for the heads-up

lime valve May 29, 2016, 7:39 PM

#

Copy. I've only tested it on the Aimpoint + 3X As said.

shrewd jay May 29, 2016, 7:39 PM

#

Roger... I need to update that pack anyway 😃

lime valve May 29, 2016, 7:40 PM

#

Sweet. Perhaps. If you feel the urge. I have a request if you can make that. Its a Aimpoint Comp M4 combination with a Aimpoint 3X magnifier on a twist mount. That would Dissapear and appear when you switch.

#

As seen here. http://i25.tinypic.com/111scn9.jpg

shrewd jay May 29, 2016, 7:42 PM

#

Pretty unlikely to be honest right now I have too much stuff else to do

lime valve May 29, 2016, 7:43 PM

#

I understand,
I can give it a shot to model it, Just need your wonderfull config to do the magic if posible? Will be my new project once if finish the weapon.

shrewd jay May 29, 2016, 7:43 PM

#

Sure

#

Config for that is pretty easy anyway

first weapon with optics slots that I make, do I need a special memory point for the aim down sights position? atm it looks like it's set at 0,0,0 -> I just see the inside of my weapon

polar fiber May 29, 2016, 11:32 PM

#

yes, you define the place where you look through the sights in the memory LOD. When you attach a scope it uses the memory points assigned in the attachment model rather than the weapon

celest arch May 29, 2016, 11:33 PM

#

mmm odd, I attached one of the standard a3 scopes to it

polar fiber May 29, 2016, 11:34 PM

#

have you got the autocenter property in the model?

celest arch May 29, 2016, 11:35 PM

#

in the weapon no I dont, bingo

#

thanks

polar fiber May 29, 2016, 11:36 PM

#

Cool. I think that'll probably be it - it tends to be what makes memory points go off wandering around space

celest arch May 29, 2016, 11:36 PM

#

since we're here, what about switching optics/ironsights?

#

if I mount a scope, I'm stuck to it

#

or is it still defined in the scope?

polar fiber May 29, 2016, 11:37 PM

#

You mean the ability to use the weapon's ironsights when a scope is attached?

celest arch May 29, 2016, 11:37 PM

#

yes

polar fiber May 29, 2016, 11:37 PM

#

it's not really supported by the game engine

celest arch May 29, 2016, 11:38 PM

#

so you just switch the scope sights, not to the weapon "eye" memory point?

polar fiber May 29, 2016, 11:38 PM

#

you have to make a custom scope attachment with the memoy points aligned to where they would be in the weapon as a kind of trick workaround

celest arch May 29, 2016, 11:38 PM

#

ok I see, thanks

polar fiber May 29, 2016, 11:39 PM

#

basically, any optics attachment will overwrite any optics modes the original weapon had, so long as the scope is attached to the weapon

celest arch May 29, 2016, 11:39 PM

#

yup

polar fiber May 29, 2016, 11:39 PM

#

the only exception is you can limit the maximum zero setting for scopes, based on the weapon

celest arch May 29, 2016, 11:39 PM

#

yes I've seen that

#

another question if you don't mind, but maybe it's related to the autocenter one, I didnt test yet

#

looks like the bullet exits the barrel at a 20 degrees angle, not straight parallel to the barrel as it should be

polar fiber May 29, 2016, 11:45 PM

#

might be the autocenter offsetting the usti hlavne etc. type memory points, but if your bullets are slow they will leave the barrel at a high angle depending on the zeroing distance

celest arch May 29, 2016, 11:46 PM

#

no this one is slightly faster than the russian 7.62 (just for testing)

#

well I test now and see

#

yes solved with autocenter = 0 thanks

#

lol the mrco on a post apo gun looks wierd as fuck

#

Any info on this ? : Tweaked: Weapon animation sources were improved

polar fiber May 30, 2016, 4:10 PM

#

yeah

#

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Model_Config#Animation_sources

#

read the bulletpointed paragraph

#

seems like the zeroing2 source isn't backwards compatible (so needs updating to zeroing.1), but everything else works more or less without changing things

#

especially if your weapon only has one muzzle (i.e. no UGL)

#

but I'm updating stuff to the new names for the sake of consistancy

oblique vapor May 30, 2016, 4:14 PM

#

Neat

#

I assume Buldozer will render the same "light" rendering as in game now ?

polar fiber May 30, 2016, 4:15 PM

#

dunno, haven't re-run the buldozer installer

#

seems like the old lighting still to me

#

having just run the installer again

oblique vapor May 30, 2016, 4:23 PM

#

Fack

#

That's really dumb

polar fiber May 30, 2016, 4:29 PM

#

I might be wrong, or not updating it properly though. So...

oblique vapor May 30, 2016, 4:29 PM

#

I wouldn't be surprised if buldozer isn't up to date with current lighting

polar fiber May 30, 2016, 4:30 PM

#

Would ask @rich blade if he was here

#

but it could be my buldozer.cfg setup too

oblique vapor May 30, 2016, 4:33 PM

#

Didn't see antyhing about this in the latest TECHREP

Error while trying to mount P: drive

polar fiber May 30, 2016, 4:43 PM

#

paths in your settings.ini are correct?

#

Bear in mind you can't have P:\ located in the same place as your tools install folder now

oblique vapor May 30, 2016, 4:44 PM

#

All my project files are in ArmA 3 Tools folder

polar fiber May 30, 2016, 4:44 PM

#

then you'll need to move them

oblique vapor May 30, 2016, 4:45 PM

#

Any folder is ok if I set the .ini correctly ?

polar fiber May 30, 2016, 4:46 PM

#

yes, by default I think the folder it uses in your Documents Folder (called A3 work or something)

#

but you can put it anywhere so long as the path is defined in settings

oblique vapor May 30, 2016, 4:46 PM

#

SO I assume I have to define all paths in the .ini, and then copy the "a3" game data files from my Tools folder to my new Arma work folder ?

polar fiber May 30, 2016, 4:47 PM

#

Run the main tool thing

#

Click preferences

#

options (or Ctrl+e)

#

and define "path to your P drive"

#

and uncheck the "use default", then click to Register it in the settings.ini

#

your P drive will now be linked to that folder when you mount it, so just move all the contents of your current P to that folder

oblique vapor May 30, 2016, 4:50 PM

#

Will do

#

Woohoo, I can get back to work now

#

Thanks mate

pearl flume May 30, 2016, 5:15 PM

#

hi guys, when i add a proxy to a model i can walk through the proxy. is that correct?

sturdy parcel May 30, 2016, 5:23 PM

#

I wouldn't be surprised if buldozer isn't up to date with current lighting

#

if you run arma3p there is no 'buldozer'. so the answer is yes. it's up to date

#

my new Arma work folder

#

arma3p will make a p: drive (or any other) for you, automatically

quick terrace May 30, 2016, 5:59 PM

#

i'd rather so it manually

#

anything else besides arma.exe that needs to be copied

#

@sturdy parcel i know i've asked before, can i has arma3p NOT unbinned a3 vanilla content?

polar fiber May 30, 2016, 6:22 PM

#

Yeah, I'd prefer if it and workdrive didn't fill my P:\ drive with a load of sound files and other formats that I never need to reference

#

I end up manually deleting pretty much everything apart from .paa, .rvmat and a few models

woeful viper May 30, 2016, 8:50 PM

#

yeah that's pretty off-putting...

gilded bane May 31, 2016, 5:17 AM

#

the fuck is this ArmA 3 Projects nonsense??

polar fiber May 31, 2016, 5:18 AM

#

it's the new default folder for P: drive

#

needed to make a new default location since installing it in the root tools folder (old default) was apparently causing problems

dense steeple May 31, 2016, 6:10 AM

#

any idea why my character wont show when I place a proxy in (bulldozer /object builder), only happening since new update

bleak tangle May 31, 2016, 6:11 AM

#

P drive mounted correctly?

#

Tools probably wouldn't have let you mount it if your P drive is coming from your Arma 3 Tools installation

dense steeple May 31, 2016, 6:23 AM

#

u talking to me? Maybe because I haven't tried the new 'ArmA 3 Projects' thing

dense steeple May 31, 2016, 6:59 AM

#

Sigh.. still doesnt work

white jay May 31, 2016, 8:56 AM

#

regarding buldozer and "lighting", buldozer does only read "some" configs of the game data, cfgWorlds is not one of them so the new lighting config is only seen ingame.

polar fiber May 31, 2016, 9:09 AM

#

Makes sense. Tom did mention in the past weeks that Buldozer would be updated though, so there's reason to be confused about whether it should work now or not

quick terrace May 31, 2016, 12:09 PM

#

i am a bit confused here

#

do i need to reinstall buldozer

#

manually change it

#

full p reintall (not an option)

#

@rich blade - if i wanna get vis update manually, what files do i need to copy over

hollow fulcrum May 31, 2016, 12:17 PM

#

i just reinstalled it, all is fine. my p:\ is not default though.

quick terrace May 31, 2016, 12:18 PM

#

neither is mine

#

and i don't want work drive to replace by existing unpacked data

#

or the contents on my p drive where all the svns are located

hollow fulcrum May 31, 2016, 12:20 PM

#

all it did was update buldozer for me, no unpacking moving of data. i think we're fine with the 'custom' paths. it's the default stuff that gets moved around. (granted i've only looked at this for about 5mins)

quick terrace May 31, 2016, 12:22 PM

#

yeah need to have a looky myself

#

although i'd appreciate an answer from tom
