Well. Whatever's up with the Dev Branch, my Arma is running a LOT better now on my pos computer.
slender grove
That might be incentive enough for me to try it...
but then again it's two weeks away.
π€
scenic gyro
I seriously doubt they've slipped in a major performance boost into dev branch with no mention of it in the changelog
lucid crag
I would imagine the lod difference between interior and optics, third person, etc will affect performance
"My arma is running a lot better" is extremely vague
scenic gyro
right, he doesn't say whether it's running better than it always has, or that it's just running as well as it did prior to earlier versions of the dev branch
5 years after the games release, there really aren't any optimisations they can still make which would have a big impact (without major engine rewrites)
but regressions relating to the Tanks DLC, sure, there will be some work done on optimising that stuff
timber sorrel
Apologies for the lack of clarification. I've seen a nice increase in frames when moving from release to dev branch.
slender grove
@timber sorrel
Does that include all maps or specifically Tanoa?
timber sorrel
All standard maps. Altis, Stratis, Tanoa, Malden '35.
slender grove
Then I guess I've something to look forward to.

@severe nimbus Keep in mind that I'm pretty sure that this needs Data Link Receive enabled

@light lintel Tweaked: Adjusted RCWS turret durability on MRAPs, Panther, Bobcat, Marid, Scorcher, Sochor, Speedboat, and UGV 4 April 2018 dev branch changelog
In addition, Tweaked: Blackfish can now transport 2x Nyx AWCs of any variant and Fixed: The Mohawk helicopter wasn't able to slingload Nyx (special thanks to Keplager)
And a fix for Bombs not falling on target when using the CAS module and the bomb deployment envelope
light lintel
yeah i saw, though they don't say whether that's tweaked up or down π
crisp wyvern
I believe that you'd only wanted it reduced on the MRAPs?
light lintel
i actually didn't have much to say about the durability actually π€
just their existence at all as opposed to an exposed gunner
But it's the same turret on all of those
crisp wyvern
@light lintel If one could shoot out/disable the optics it'd be a different story and you know it π
crisp wyvern
@light lintel btw one realization that I had re: Blackfish support for "2x Nyx AWCs of any variant": you can have a scenario premised on the AAF or an ally -- or any force -- airlifting in AWC 302 Nyx (AA) and AWC 303 Nyx (Recon) pairs via Blackfish, with CH-49 Mohawks performing 'tactical' (local?) repositioning thereof, as part of an integrated air defense network.
crisp wyvern
Now if only sling-loading allowed more than one carried object/vehicle... though I'm not sure whether an articulated vehicle would (should?) count as one or two in an Arma title: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:HΓ€gglunds_Bv206D_CH-53G_Luftransport.jpg
(Trivia: Other vehicles of this sort besides https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandvagn_206 are https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sisu_Nasu , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BvS_10 , and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronco_All_Terrain_Tracked_Carrier )

I noticed that the FFV allowed angles for the M1 Slammer are a bit weird. You can't really depress the gun much and there is an area in the middle with makes you rest your gun. It makes using bunos and guns harder than it needs to be

To my great surprise I have learned there is no actual script command to have AI take cover. There is no (know to me) way of triggering the "Take Cover" order you can give as a leader via scripts. And no, putting AI in a danger mode is not the same as the "Take Cover" order.
So yeah, arma is a massive milsim game, but it has no way of ordering AI to take cover via scripting or waypoints...
All of the AI mods have to script their own way of getting AI into cover.
The code is already there, the "Take Cover" order works perfectly fine, we just have no way of giving it to AI outside of being the group leader and using the player order menu. It would be nice if we could get a command to trigger the "Hide"/"Take Cover" behaviour for the AI.
twilit juniper
Anyone know how to get the dialog working
on the dev branch?
I tried "Animation" diag_enable true; but it gave me a "needs ;" error
scarlet root
start the game with diag.exe
light lintel
any info on what this does? Added: A new activeSensorAlwaysOn ammo parameter
tame rover
probably forces the AI to turn on active radar sensor when using that ammo
light lintel
aha, interesting
crisp wyvern
Currently relevant only to radar
light lintel
Tweaked: Vehicle threat and cost values were adjusted what does this mean exactly? been seeing a lot of changes with this recently
and what does this mean?
Tweaked: The "maxHoldsterValue" animation source now works on vehicles with Dynamic Loadouts, but only for non-pylon weapons (e.g. the HMG)
tame rover
you can assign a "holdster" number to a vehicle magazine in the config (holdsterAnimValue parameter) that will trigger an animation with the matching maxHoldsterValue when ever that a weapon carrying that magazine is loaded
was how the weapon bays were done on the blackfoot before they used the bay system introduced with Jets DLC/Dynamic Loadouts
light lintel
ahh
so you mean like how the nyx missiles get animated during the reloading animation?
crisp wyvern
will trigger an animation with the matching maxHoldsterValue when ever that a weapon carrying that magazine is loaded sees 'retractable gun' potential for a sci-fi mod, i.e. the Millennium Falcon belly gun from Empire Strikes Back
scarlet root
@light lintel latest dev branch just fixed threat values. someone made them strings.. (instead of numbers)
light lintel
@scarlet root I see. But what are threat and cost values? Is it something the AI used to prioritize targets?
scarlet root
light lintel
Ah, thanks
light lintel
Added: Terrain awareness (TAWS-like) color-coded navigation panels to all vanilla aerial vehicles
Anyone tried this out?
I'm assuming it was added in response to all the complaints on the forums about AI planes hitting cliffs π
scenic gyro
sounds interesting, would like to see more info
inner pagoda
It's just a color overlay on the GPS UI if you're in an aircraft. If you can safely fly over terrain, it's green. If you'll fly into the terrain at your current altitude, it's red. I don't believe this will do anything for AI flight.
inner pagoda
Nah this seems to be solely for humans. Another tool in the box to avoid accidentally flying into terrain.
The cliffs of Malden at a high altitude

And the same cliffs from closer to the deck

light lintel
looks nice π€
will have to see how useful it is in actual use
i suppose it may be more useful for planes attempting strafing runs
scenic gyro
It does look nice ... I guess they haven't added the "too low", "terrain", "pull up" audio alerts, though maybe that's for the best
I was amusing myself today by doing some low altitude flying on Altis in a Black Wasp ... the valleys just aren't deep enough to make that really fun π¦

Pandur has wave breaker in front which now in game is automatically unfolded with new "inWater" animation source
thick oyster
thats cool , btw is that magazine proxy really coming into A3?
scenic gyro
@rustic plaza oh, that's extremely cool
can't wait to see a video
(no dev branch on linux)
scenic gyro
how about an inRain animation source and animated wipers on the vehicles where they are modelled
light lintel
That would probably be annoying tbh
If it started automatically at least
Since the windscreen isn't really affected by the rain
scenic gyro
it would actually give a plausible reason for rain not affecting visibility in vehicles
and if it means you drive just a bit slower in rain, well that too only increases the impact of weather on scenarios, beyond just "atmosphere"
golden plaza
Ehhh, it's not really automatically unfolded, I didn't use that source after all
It's just user animation, you can use "animatesource" command to move it
vapid aspen
This can be cool to have inRain animation, for like create rainy textures on any building with help of animation source for sure
whole cairn
@rustic plaza That reminds me, I saw quite a few dev branchs ago (like 6 months or something) that the dozer on the NATO Engineer IFV nammera was animated. How do you actually move it exactly?
crisp wyvern
Scripted animation
light lintel
probably animatesource
light lintel
Added: A small aiming dot on the AH-6's front windshield praise be the kind souls that made this change
scenic gyro
heh, people have been asking for that since day one
guess they finally found time to address some of the highest voted items in the wishlist
light lintel
yeah they did say they going back through things and polishing assets
scenic gyro
guess I missed that, I saw them mention going back through scenarios/campaigns to overhaul them in the light of all the DLC engine additions/changes
which we've seen happening in some of the more recent changes. Though I worry that also means there aren't many additional engine changes planned going forward.
I would pay the full asking price of the game over again if only they would fix some of the bigger issues with player controlled AI.
I noted again the other day that while playing one of the Tac Ops missions that AI still won't re-arm from bodies/crates/vehicles when ordered to do so. They acknowledge the order but don't move. The AI controlled autorifleman in my squad ran out of ammo and switched to his pistol, he just couldn't be made to re-arm at the nearby vehicle which was carrying some AR ammo, so I ended up having to get the ammo myself then put it into his backpack. He switched to the rifle, reloaded, then back to the pistol and refused to use the rifle in engagements. So I had to go into his inventory and remove the pistol.
all of which seems like it should be so simple to fix, yet these issues have been there from the start π¦
light lintel
yeah i hope AI issues don't become the other albatross around their necks, though probably have already...
(the first being "Arma has terrible performance" which seems to be the only thing some people remember about it)

@light lintel Zeus working perfectly when the server first starts up but if a new Zeus logs in and the first one logs out the Zeus interface disappears.
light lintel
oh
stray storm
Zeus used to be awesome but there was a update about a year ago that broke it. It hasn't been fixed yet.
light lintel
does it happen if you enable AI slots as well?
light lintel
yeah. try enabling AI slots. we use zeus but i don't remember people bringing this up. although in our case we enable AI slots and don't usually have multiple zeuses
stray storm
How would enabling Ai fix it?
light lintel
the slot should remain even if the player leaves the slot or disconnects
stray storm
the slot doesn't disappear, its just the Zeus interface disappears
light lintel
ah
hm.
dunno then. give it a shot, at worst it doesn't work and you know it doesn't work
and then you can file a bug ticket π
light lintel
There was something on dev branch about enabling datalink data to be transmitted by infantry (e.g. laser designators) - or at least that's what i remember. I can't find the entry in the dev branch logs though. Would someone know more about this?
nvm, some more googling suggests that infantry datalink indeed made it into 1.82
crisp wyvern
@light lintel Are you thinking of infantry spotting for Rhino MGS-fired MARUK missiles?
light lintel
yeah, someone was trying that
dev branch update on june 1 enabled rhino to detect infantry designated lasers without datalink
(based on LOS)
crisp wyvern
Wasn't that just by adding a laser sensor directly to the Rhino?
light lintel
yeah
scenic gyro
the "remote designators" mentioned in the last changelog are the UAV terminal controlled 'camera/designator' surveillance thing, which almost everyone seems to forget about
this actually makes it more useful, with datalink it can be spotting armour targets for you with no human assets to risk while you fire at them safely from the other side of a hill with the MGS. Unlike a UAV or UGV, it's not going to show up on radar or as an obvious IR target.
light lintel
oh, i was talking about Tweaked: Returned the laser spot tracker to the Rhino so it doesn't have to rely on Datalink only (https://feedback.bistudio.com/T128036)
scenic gyro
oh, thought you meant Friday's update
light lintel
nah, June 1st
remote designators... are a bit of an odd thing
don't think we've ever used them
one of our missions have them apparently, but still ended up not getting used
scenic gyro
yeah, I didn't really understand them when they were added. I can think of one or two scenarios where they would be useful, but I've yet to actually use one outside testing it in VR
light lintel
maybe they make sense if infantry datalink wasn't a thing π€·π½
scenic gyro
for a defensive scenario, with a small team, they could be useful to help cover one of the avenues of approach e.g. watching your rear to ensure you don't get flanked
light lintel
yeah, but you still need someone looking at a terminal... at which point you can just put someone there with a bonus rifle
scenic gyro
or for coordinating an ambush, again with a small team, you can't necessarily have an observer to watch for the approach, so set up the camera watching the road a few hundred metres away and then have the entire together at the ambush point
light lintel
oh yeah, there's the PiP feed thing that can be used
scenic gyro
yes, the needing to look at a terminal is an issue, but I figure that checking the remote camera for a few seconds now and then is better than keeping that person permanently sat doing nothing but watching when you're not really expecting an attack from that direction.
anyhow, as I said, I've never actually used one in anger and who knows if I ever will.
light lintel
in anger? π€
scenic gyro
ah, yeah, I have to explain that expression to my colleagues in India every time I use it
scenic gyro
well I'm a European who spends 3 months a year in India π
light lintel
However, due to our team becoming smaller than before, we do not see it as useful to update Dev-Branch on a daily basis. Instead, we've been investigating other options, and came to the conclusion that it would be best to start pushing Dev-Branch updates on a weekly basis. Via this change, we'll be able to reduce administrative duties on our end, and make the weekly Dev-Branch updates more juicy and worth playing! will have to change my habit of compulsively checking dev branch everyday π

It is painful watching Arma 3 development grind to a halt and also knowing Arma 4 is years away. Will reduce the churn in modding so there is at least that benefit.
light lintel
I dunno, reduces the posts that say "logistical issues" at least π
I'm happy they've filled out most of the asset roles and features, and that they're mostly shifting to focusing on polishing what's out there already
scenic gyro
I'll be happy if they apply that polish to the areas that really need it
I guess that it will be our job to shout the loudest and longest about the bugs/issues which bother us the most
we're running out of time and can't wait for BI to get around to it on their own

no the towing thing doesn't actually work as far as I heard
scenic gyro
I appreciate the attention to detail on the model though, the fact that it lines up perfectly with the Hemtt at least means you can do static scenarios with it 'attached'
If the stabilisers are animated, then maybe someone will even provide a towing mod for them. Articulation won't work but that's not really important on a short-bodied trailer anyway

well, it was there, I fixed it more for RHS tank searchlights

Aww yeah.. I got so angry when the RHS searchlight didn't work. We thought it was some mod conflict ^^

its cool to see the functionality fixed but the hellcat still has that light inside the flir pod?

more like forgot to add searchlight π
rustic plaza
dunno, you could fit some powerful led lights around camera
thick oyster
only if were there but flir pod doesnt have that
rustic plaza
I can add little dots to it then π
thick oyster
if you really wanted to add light to that pod , then that pod would be like twice as big
rustic plaza
why?
http://www.mini-ugv.com/upload/camera.jpg I imagine idea was that LED lights are placed around sensor
thick oyster
thats seperate light , you cant just put inside Flir pod because its full with thermal camera
at this point you rather do proper searchlight on side of pod π
rustic plaza
not like LED lights are taking a lot of space?
full sonnet
Just take LED strips and glue the onto the outside
rustic plaza
- it's possible to explain that by miniaturization of thermal sensor components in future
formal spear
Well we never know what they got in the future right? So todays logic may not apply the same in 2025? :D
thick oyster
they do , especially larger ones ,for millitary those small leds are useless just saying π
it should be like this
thick oyster
handheld is handheld , there is a good reason why on vehicles they use strong searchlight , old or modern ones - light get strong light and light up the big area
rustic plaza
thats tech from 70, xenon powered, used on russian IR searchlights
on video it's without filter
light bulb itself is small - reflective part take most of the space
Luna on BMP3M or T80UE1 is even smaller
then you have search(/blind) light on M1A1 TUSK variants which are not that big neither
thick oyster
tank ones are different , different purpose btw π
rustic plaza
on TUSK size of light is bigger because it hold battery inside
yes, they are different but they are using same tech
as on video presented if you want to get strong light you can take filter and bach, its done
searchlight on hellcat has range of 250-350 meters
and on that OU-3G video you can see that something really small quite provide light up to 600m
or even more
- actually Russians were using same searchlights on Mi8 π
thick oyster
that range on hellcat was probably a optimization for the engine
so you saying to put russian searchlight on flir pod then π€
rustic plaza
no, I was more trying to explain you that it's technically possible to do something like that on current design
I'm not speaking about sense of having something like that though - in the end, you don't see something like that in real life
mainly because it's redundant with TI
thick oyster
well i would rather see something with realstic approach π
rustic plaza
I think it's nice thing anyway since you can disable TI with scripts and how something less OP during the night + it's exposes some nice sandbox functionality
if it wasn't in game at all I would probably struggle a little bit to push that fix to game
scenic gyro
Heh, Reyhard fixes a long standing bug that lots of people wanted fixing and then has to try and justify a design choice that wasn't even his to begin with ...
Thanks for that fix Reyhard. Yes having the light tied to the camera pod might be artistic license, but then it's no more so than a lot of other choices in the game
Now I'm not saying I wouldn't like to see modelled lights but I accept there are only so many hours in the day. Searchlights on some vanilla vehicles (could be tied to turret/CROWS for simplicity) would be sweet if we're just listing out wishlist items.
IR lighting ... now that would be really nice
heh, while playing with the Hellcat in the editor just now (without fix), found a small cosmetic bug ... if you switch to the camera as co-pilot then exit the heli, you're still in the camera view until the animation completes, I was able to watch myself dismount via the camera

but the plural "lights" for "pilots" makes it sound like something else, like internal map reading lights or something?
oh, could mean they have both static lights for landing AND the searchlight now
that would make a lot of sense
the same static lights that every other helo has to compensate for the fact that the search light may now be pointing in an unhelpful direction for landing at night
that's probably what was meant π
light lintel
yeah, that would be quite nice π
scenic gyro
with this fixed I expect to see a few people requesting Gendarmerie and 'rescue' Skin variants of the Hellcat
and I can't deny that I would like that, a Gendarme variant would be an interesting addition to something I'm working on
A navy search and rescue version would go well with the Liberty
rustic plaza
Collision lights were not available for hellcat pilot because presence of that action is tied to main reflectors
Fix for searchlight most likely won't be available in 1.84 unfortunately
light lintel

scenic gyro
@rustic plaza Missing collision lights is a separate item again, so are the "Front lights for pilots" what I was guessing, the downward pointing white lights or something else?
rustic plaza
Static front lights
scenic gyro

that's nice then. Regarding searchlight, I hope whatever issues are keeping it out of 1.84 are resolvable

Is there more functionality to the speedboat and assault boat with the USS Liberty than vehicle in vehicle with the boat rack? Any way to launch them from the Liberty or is it just for placing them stowed on the boat rack?
light lintel
when you get inside the boats which are in the boat rack, you should be able to launch them via the action menu
and similarly you should be able to recover the boats from the water

scenic gyro
It's going to be fantastic seeing those flying overhead
limber junco
Yep. Can't wait to make some missions with VLS objectives or defenses,
light lintel
that looks amazing!
(not to be that guy but... it would actually be cool if the missile trails were more visible on the other large missiles too, like SAMs and AAMs - although i'm basing this on stable branch, and foggy memory)
limber junco
Reyhard, are the VLS cruise missiles ONLY Laser tracking? Since they use Datalinking targeting, can target locks be passed via IR/Visual/Radar sensors from datalink equipped units in the field?
light lintel
Probably not, the missiles themselves need additional seekers
But configs will hold answers
rustic plaza
@limber junco they should be able to target any data link target
so i.e. it could work pretty nicely with Nyx radar
it should be also able to engage hovering helicopters
scenic gyro
I'm just going to say again that it would be nice to get a placeable 'radar' module with data link that can be sited where we currently have static, non-functioning radar objects in the game. The domes, the airports and yes the top of the superstructure of both the Freedom and Liberty
light lintel
yeah that would be cool
and that's interesting info, reyhard π€
so the condition is that the target has to be stationary?
or only stationary in case of an air target?
and is there any interaction with countermeasures in that case?
limber junco
Per Dev forum someone tested it and it will lock on using any sensor that can send datalink info, even AR-2 darter Personnel sensor.
Dude...... great work!
@scenic gyro Ditto. If we can make all those Radar Sites already on maps into actual, targetable, working Radar sites it would open up so much game play.

heres the real question though.. can you manually data link things together in real time?.. cause what if you lose said drone.. and have to put in a new one?.. Eden wont be there to save you
light lintel
what do you mean?
could probably use https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/enableVehicleSensor
along with DataLinkSensorComponent
if that's what you meant
white zinc
that's scripting it in.. I meant like.. a feature to data link whole in-game..
cause what if you lose the unit in the game? like the drone that lases the target.. or the type of firepower that is used to kill said target.. you need a new one.. but it's not data linked!
light lintel
yeah so then you give the player an add-action to do that (or use some EH)
I dunno the kind of missions you have in mind, but at least in our games, dead drone = no drone, end of story π
also see: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Sensors#Data_Link for more granular control of datalink

Hey reyhard... Can the VLS be placed underwater? And if so, can missiles be fired from under water? π

On the submarine?
light lintel
It'll probably fit on the submarine but the submarine will always float by default
So that's not a problem for surface launches
But I think you'll have to literally put it on the ocean floor to try an underwater launch
rustic plaza
And if so, can missiles be fired from under water I dont think it's possible to fire it underwater

Another question, how big will the cruise missile's boom finally be? I was reading that the explosion radius is still quite small, although that was last week...
limber junco
Hmmm... underwater missiles... Will have to test tonight if someone doesn't beat me to it.
inner pagoda
Just attempted to fire the VLS underwater, can confirm that you cannot launch any missiles.
tame rover
I tried it too, also if you fire them just a few cm below the surface (not deep enough for the weapon to disable) they just explode on launch
which is what I expected given how every other shell or missile ingame explodes when it hits water
inner pagoda
In my testing I also managed to have two separate launchers run away from me and continue firing missiles after I released control of them.
Perhaps that's just me not fully understanding the finer points of controlling UAVs, but it was alarming nonetheless to suddenly hear more missiles in the air, only to look back out to the ocean and see 6 more burning to make landfall.

limber junco
Regarding the VLS firing from subs. Would it be possible to make the VLS invisible and either invulnerable or non-interactable and have it set above the sea level slightly in whatever location your sub is, then when it fires it would at least simulate the sub firing the cruise missiles from it's VLS tubes?
light lintel
you can make it indestructable easily (this allowDamage false) and similarly use hideObject to hide it. Like i mentioned before, the sub will float anyway so you don't have to worry about the VLS falling into the water
scenic gyro
yeah, but if you want to simulate a launch just below the surface the sub won't help
light lintel
well... you could probably put a platform or floating helipad and then put the VLS on that
or use attach to
although i do wonder why it matters, players won't be able to see it π€
limber junco
It's possible if they're near the coast, or say, if it's scripted to launch from an enemy sub and they're supposed to see the launch.
Anyways, thanks. Gonna play with that and see what I can do for my players.

dreamy mortar
Some feedback: the game mode has potential but, the early game is fun but a bit too long, there is progression but the moment pvp starts you are already geared up, you can buy to much ai (maybe lower the available number if the server is full), the playable area is large but with the current layout action is always happening around the airfield (maybe introduce a way to attack sectors across the sea), introduction of the squad menu would be nice

just a note - there were some fixes to mag proxies recently (instancing)
thick oyster
what kind?
rustic plaza
magazine proxies were being instanced and their camo was broken
so if 3 soldiers were standing close to each other, with each of them having different hiddenSelectionTextures (but same p3d) then they would get unified camo

I meant this one, for reference.
hazy umbra
It only happened with the last patch, and it is really annoying
rustic plaza
pretty sure it was like that before
hazy umbra
No definitely not. You could always use the compass as a driver
rustic plaza
I remember that I had to manually add compass to (used with G key) to BTR in 2015
hazy umbra
Well you need a compass in your inventory, yeah... but if you have one, you used to be able to press K and get them to show up
With the last one or two patches, that ability is gone, you cannot get a compass even if you have one in your inventory
rustic plaza
yeah, I mean I had to manually add gunnerCanSee property to enable inventory compass

Ah okay I misunderstood...
I am quite sure though that the compasses worked in driver seats

I just played a mission with TFAR (and little other mods). While we had no connection issues, I encountered severe fps drops (creeping around 5-10 fps), that could be solved by disabling the tfar plugin. After changing to the current performance binary on my client end, this issue had been solved.
Sounds like callExtension problems.

Anyone take advantage of the new setMissileTargetPos, missileTargetPos, setMissileTarget, missileTarget, and triggerAmmo commands?
full sonnet
are they already on dev branch even?
tame rover
They're in the changelog
full sonnet
Ah I heard the changelog was pulled. Apparently they pushed it again
tame rover
Yeah, the files weren't pushed until Sunday IIRC
I wanna know if one can do GPS/INS guidance with MissileTargetPos commands, but I don't know dick about scripting
triggerAmmo seems promising, from what I was told about it
light lintel
they mentioned needing a valid missile target, iirc, whatever that means
tame rover
presumably that said target conforms to the needs of the missile/bomb's sensors
crisp wyvern
What's triggerAmmo supposed to do?
tame rover
makes the projectile detonate on command
crisp wyvern
Flak was already supposed to be simulated via the proximity fuse distance ammo parameter? Usually 10-25 meters
light lintel
that is possible, since i do remember flak like efffects from AAA
but i was under the impression that's only for missiles? (the proximity fuse)
tame rover
I dunno what ammunition simulation types the new commands work for. Changelog only mentions missiles, but reyhard said some of the commands work on bombs too
so maybe it works on shotShell and other things
oh wait, bombs are shotMissile
rustic plaza
triggerAmmo works on all cfgAmmo
@crisp wyvern proximityExplosionDistance requires valid (locked) target in order to work
and it only checks proximity to only that single target
scenic gyro
could proximity fusing really simulate flak when flak typically is fused based on a time based fuse? Flak doesn't just explode in the area around an aircraft. triggerAmmo seems to give the possibility for a proper simulation of flak
It can also be used to simulate self-destructing munitions. e.g. C-RAM/CIWS rounds self-destructing to avoid collateral damage down range
Fireworks!
tame rover
you could always do fixed self-destruct timers, with timetolive
triggerAmmo's useful for actual programmable munitions with variable fuses or things like option lanyards
shrewd jasper
could the missileTargetPos be used for jammers, to have the missile target an empty space some hundred meter besides the plane?
would be nicer than to simply self destruct the missile upon jamming
rustic plaza
missile setMissileTarget objNull - unlocks missile
shrewd jasper
thanks!
scenic gyro
@tame rover That's what I was saying though. Flak doesn't explode at a fixed time, it explodes at a variable time (to explode at the same altitude as the target) set at the point of firing.
Doesn't timetolive just delete the object rather than detonating? Or am I mixing that up with another option
i.e. if you want to tie an effect, such as firework like effects of self-destructing rounds of from a C-RAM Phalanx, you don't want it to just be deleted
tame rover
Usually explodes from what I've seen
tame rover
but I was specifically on about self-destruct safety features you mentioned, which are usually fixed time
not variable delay/airburst fusing like you'd have for AA or a variety of other applications
crisp wyvern
missile setMissileTarget objNull as 'jamming' if you can 'defeat' jamming and have the missile acquire a new target
tame rover
tried writing a quick timed airburst script to test triggerAmmo from fire EH. Made a mess of the syntax for adding a time delay, and repeatedly blew myself up π

Might there be a regression in the latest updates with AA launcher lock on range?
I shot AA last week (RHS Launchers) and was stumped that I could only really lock on if the target was less than a kilometer away, basically as a attack helicopter I could only lock on when he was already shooting at me. I thought maybe I missremembered their range, or that something on our end is bugged.
But now I read this, another guy with exact same observation.

Our (RHS) manpads have a pretty short locking range against terrain background. So I wouldnβt use it for assessing general game behaviour

well, I cannot reproduce it on my end
scarlet root
alright will try to narrow it down
light lintel
so @ reyhard, we were wondering in our community whether it would be better to limit the max proxies such that only ARs can take non-AR mags, and not the other way around
the reasoning behind this is that Arma doesn't have overheating or jamming mechanisms, so this change potentially makes everyone an AR without any penalties/restrictions
basically: need something to prevent the use of AR mags in non-AR rifles, as it would be prevented in reality
thick oyster
what guns use AR mags that are not compatible?
light lintel
no i mean you can stick an AR mag in an MXC now, for example.
whereas what we were hoping this would allow would be that ARs don't become useless/need to scavange weapons once their belts/boxes/100-round-mags are empty
which is indeed the case now, except the former bit makes even a ammo bearer a potential AR
rustic plaza
MXC has lower muzzle velocity & higher recoil so it's not as efficient in AR role as MX SW
thick oyster
shouldnt MXs use just MX mags?
rustic plaza
@thick oyster discussion is about 30 & 100rnd magazine
not about AR as AR-15 platform π
thick oyster
ha i thought we talking about stanag mags
well anyway all MXs should use both MX mags
thick oyster
btw speaking of mags
Katiba should finally get the 30 round mag as a model because it always had that 20 rounder
and also Mk200 should get a proper 200 round bag instead using that 100 round one
same thing on Zafir
thick oyster
then why it has 30 rounds in config π
rustic plaza
because of same reason why GP-25 is using EGLM rounds
I don't think it's possible to fix those magazines without remodeling magazine wells on Katiba & ARX
thick oyster
well if you use 30 round stanag and fill with with those caseless rounds?
rustic plaza
?
thick oyster
i mean the model 30 round stanag and then use those caseless round to on top and make it for katiba?
rustic plaza
whaaat? π
thick oyster
you got the 30 round stanag model right?
rustic plaza
katiba mag is single row
it's not going to fit so wide magazine
beside that, 30 round stanag mag is curved
thick oyster
its single row because of the caseless round
while model is 20round stanag
whats the problem being little curved?
rustic plaza
on right is rhs 20rnd stang mag
thick oyster
well you can fix that easily , also that mag will be only on katiba
rustic plaza
it's similar to 20rnd stang but it is also fictonalized to same weird degree
thick oyster
but it will look right
thick oyster
if you dont like the angle then just stretch it to be longer?
thick oyster
on AK12 its because somebody made 5.45 mag into 7.62x39
rustic plaza
it wasn't neither 5.45 since I was comparing it to references
it was between 5.45 & 7.62 sort of thing
on AK12 its because somebody made 5.45 mag into 7.62x39 - converting 30rnd stanag to 30rnd katiba long something would cause same issue
thick oyster
lets say it was closer to 5.45
rustic plaza
that was my point
thick oyster
it didnt meant that
i meant if you dont like the 30 round stanag angle
just stretch the 20 round one
rustic plaza
π
thick oyster
not into 30 rounds LOL , but at least model wise to look more like famas mag
even if not will not hold 30 actual caseless rounds
also originally the katiba was meant to use 6.5 non caseless rounds so that would make more sense with the mag
rustic plaza
I don't think I have resources for that
reload animation would need adjustments + magazine would need reuving or maybe remake from scratch
thick oyster
reload anim is fair enough but reUV shouldnt be so hard even if you merge two mags and tweak that
rustic plaza
anyway, I had noted it down - perhaps if I will be bored one day I might try to tackle it
thick oyster
for that Mk200 you can add the bigger bag right?
rustic plaza
I wanted to add mag proxy to it at some point, so you can have normal bullets there too
but I'm not sure if I will have enough time for next patch
thick oyster
yeah technically you could use the new plastic magazine from the m249 too and vise versa
but ofc Mk200 ones would be 6.5 caseless
on Zafir that will be more challenging
light lintel
MXC has lower muzzle velocity & higher recoil so it's not as efficient in AR role as MX SW
so does this logic apply to the other weapons as well? SPARs and Katibas and so on?
I'm also curious how much you expect these to be significant drawbacks given typical engagement ranges of <400m?
rustic plaza
yes, it's same with SPAR
not sure what you mean about katiba
carabine katiba also have lower muzzle velocity
light lintel
what about the non-carbines though? like regular MX with a 100 round mag? Or a regular SPAR with a drum mag? Wouldn't that be equivalent to their AR variants?
or was the difference between the MX and MX SW just in the magazine (sizes) to begin with, anyway?
(and I assumed the AR variants of weapons IRL have additional stuff in them to allow them to fire longer, which is somehow abstracted in game etc)
rustic plaza
SW has higher muzzle velocity and better recoil handling
there is one thing that is not taken into account when it comes to magazines - inertia
arctic phoenix
Recoil and muzzle velocity don't matter that much for sub like 300m. Plus you'll be weapon resting so the recoil is even lower. I'm maybe less concerned about the MXC's ability to be an AR and more concerned about having a carbine with a 100 rounds that's now a god gun in CQB
rustic plaza
lower muzzle velocity means less damage too
arctic phoenix
Okay, but I feel you're missing the point by still comparing the MXC to the SW.
Then there's the MXM, which has a higher muzzle velocity than the SW
tame rover
Heaven forbid mission editors might have to do some gameplay design
light lintel
nah, the problem is a bit more than us being lazy π
So under F3's platoon template, for example, riflemen carry additional AR belts/boxes/etc
Our fear is that riflemen now have an incentive to use the mags for themselves, or scavenge AR belts
of course, in more organised units its less of an hassle, but for more casual structures it means additional enforcement of rules, rather than a more organic division in game mechanics
not an unsurmountable issue at the end of the day, just perhaps less than ideal.
rustic plaza
hm, perhaps MX SW could get lower rate of fire
arctic phoenix
That doesn't help the problem? In fact that encourages people to use the MX with 100rnd mags instead of the SW.
rustic plaza
sorry, I meant MXM
thick oyster
that reminds me the new cmag should be only 100 rounds instead of 150 π
tame rover
"new"
thick oyster
i meant new as in arma 3 as it was only introduced in Apex ha
arctic phoenix
I can get behind an MXM nerf.
arctic phoenix
Burst fire only for the MXM is maybe not a bad idea, just to throw that out there.
tame rover
have to retexture it all and stuff then though?
thick oyster
imho all DMR should be only semi auto
full auto makes no sense in those roles
not to mention the masive recoil on those
light lintel
agreed
tame rover
Mk12, Mk14, M38 are all full-auto. Itβs actually a very common trait of DMR converted from service rifles instead of being built from the ground up
rustic plaza
increased ROF of MX SW to 750 rpm from 655
thick oyster
@tame rover imho most m14s got selector blocked , mk12 is a special purpose gun and the reason why M38 got it because they just adapted the M27 plus its 556
that makes no sense in modern DMR rifles
arctic phoenix
For a 6.5mm derived from a standard rifle IMO it makes sense
Though, like I said, burst fire is probably more realistic?
Shrug
thick oyster
originally MXM was .308 but no for future gun that makes no sense
because nobody uses it as a automatic rifle
not to mention burst , that thing is barely used even with M16s
tame rover
IIRC Mk14 was full/semi, but the M39 was semi only
thick oyster
still that thing was barely used especially in M14 ha

Ackh, so it's 'no different model.cfg for LIM-85 between 200-round box and 300-round STANAG' but then a bunch of other config stuff for the SPAR-17 and other weapons?
arctic phoenix
Fair enough
Can you implement it for the LIM-85 at least? I know you won't allow it to load 30rnd magazines for animations issues, but some of us care a little less about that, and it'd be nice you'd allow us to do it by mod :p
or was the issue the placement of the magazine also?
crisp wyvern
I'm guessing the latter too
arctic phoenix
In that case you just offset/rotate the standard belt's model
set the gun up to load 30rnd magazines fine, then the belt will be fine because you've altered the model
it's a bodge, but hey
I also have no idea how feasible that is, I haven't touched modelling in game, nevermind the new magazine stuff
rustic plaza
@arctic phoenix maybe in future - for now I want to polish existing mag proxified weapons
wanted to add mag proxy model for lim 85 magazine to at least give some mod compatiblity
arctic phoenix
cool, fair enough
