Thermals - why are they so bad?
I mean someone already explained to me why it got reworked and I agree that it might have been OP on vehicles, but if the goal was to make them as realistic as possible then I think you might have went into wrong direction. I know it can get pretty hot in Greece but I doubt a person would have same thermal signature as a rock or whole house over there. Its just a big mess on your screen and enemies are indistinguishable, which is pretty far from a realistic experience.

Why am I bringing this up?
Handheld laser designators are useless due to this change if you want to use thermals on them. The whole rework kinda defeats the purpose of thermals, since they are supposed to be OP, so why even have them in the game if its useless?

(sorry ale smysl to fakt moc nedává 😄 )

Yes I'm suffering from same problem. I can confirm custom endmission is broken atm but default templates are working.

Vehicles with multiple turrets and using pylons are broken, if you open the pylon attributes in Eden the pylons get assigned to random positions and not what they were assigned to. There's already a ticket for this with a video demonstrating the problem

Wondering if this could be looked at?

yeah that one is annoying i ended up just scripting it to assign it to the correct turret

Too hacky for what we need unfortunately and I found it leaves the wrong weapon still attached to the wrong turret just minus it's magazine when done through the SOG rearm module 🤦‍♂️

weird I never encountered issues like that, this is what I did to fix the calliope for spearhead:

but idk what the rearm module does

untold sky
#

Thank you, that's exactly what I needed.
Yeah I did a fuckuppings.
I had to define default values for enums if they failed to be parsed (which happens with custom endmode).
There are 7 places. In 6 of them I chose last+1, so out of range value.
But in one place, I chose zero as default. Which is "CONTINUE".. And if the endmode is continue, it just.. continues meowfacepalm

It is a problem with how the thermals are implemented.
It was always this bad, the thing that changed was just mainly the contrast.
We adjusted the contrast, and enabled sunlight-heating. Sadly adjusting the contrast, made the shortcomings of how the temperatures of objects are calculated, more obvious. Objects themselves don't have temperatures.
There is a heat range from 0-1, and either the color of the texture (black == more hot) or the thermal texture (which humans and vehicles have) defines where in that range the object lands.

since they are supposed to be OP
They are not

Air vehicle mounted guns/gunpods only fire out of one barrel unlike ground based/statics which can use multiple barrels, any chance of getting the ability to use multiple barrels with air base guns/gunpods?

When player run with weapon on back (by exec player action ["SwitchWeapon", player, player, -1]; or Holster Weapon in ACE mod) he can press RMB or C key and unit will switch run to walk
I have seen many when player could not understand how to exit the walk mode, because if you accidentally press C or RMB, then the special key for walk mode will not fix it, only press of RMB and C again
It feels like the game is trying to aim a weapon (that is not in hands) if press RMB, and go to tactical step if press C, it would be great if we could get rid of this strange behaviour

dusky tendon
#

I think that it is not necessary to touch this, although sometimes I have problems when without a weapon I switch to tactical or walk mode and cannot remember which of them is on. But this problem is solved simply. I took out a weapon, saw the animation, corrected it. It is the same as saying that on Numpad 2 4 6 8 and 5 you can shift the view of the head while in the turret (pilots, gunner). But no one will tell you about this when you accidentally press it. (I expressed my opinion, although without specifics).
||I like to use RMB to go into unarmed walking mode||

regal nimbus
#

Similar one is that when you're in the dragging animation (eg. ACE drag), RMB will change nothing visually but prevent you from moving.

#

IIRC the combat speed toggle also does this.

Just blow one fuel station pump with 3 players and statistics on 2D map shows killed 12 pumps and 4 roofs (only one pump and one roof were visible)

although I don't think the sound and effects were played 12 times, by audio it was 4

This can be reproed even by one player on a dedi server, clearly audible problem

Can we get a option/command to disable it that players automatically take out a weapon/binos on spawn ? blobcloseenjoy

outer frigate
#

just make them put them away the moment they take them out

outer frigate
#

tested angular velocity stuff, when the command is continuously used its fine but when an impulse basically is given then it begisn to get jumpy

#

ive got recordings but cant post them here

outer frigate
#

found the problem, angular velocity still isnt being interpolated

#

having their orientation suddenly jump when zooming in etc

regal nimbus
#

You mean angular position/orientation rather than angular velocity?

outer frigate
#

yeah

solid marten
#

Was blowing up petrol station on Stratis

#

the fire and smoke depend on amount of fuel but even though it is 50000 it is capped to 1000, the sound is very loud but even with 1 client

#

Also cannot see in the code that it should multiply

#

Did you test it on dev? There were some code changes regarding building destruction that are not on profiling

gaunt depot
#

Most other players were stable too

solid marten
#

what do you mean

#

I need confirmation for dev

outer frigate
# outer frigate found the problem, angular velocity still isnt being interpolated

yeah so at distance orientation is just being updated based on orientation updates (as far as i can tell) but isnt being interpolated between said updates based on angular velocity which is a bug (?)

however it is different to what setvectordirandup was doing, so think setangularvelocity is pushing a netcode update or something if there's a change? if user was giving inputs to make setAngularVelocityModelSpace set different angular velocity than last frame it appeared smooth but once hands were taken off ([0,0,0] is passed to the command) it began to get stuttery and increased stuttering at distance

#

fwiw was using Pole_F with stuff attached to test this - I would doubt that is the cause (tested it with plane objects etc), only thing I could think of is engine isn't interpolating at distance for small stuff? stab in the dark tho

is (position) nearestObject (object id) supposed to be unlimited range as per wiki? I am experiencing a 2500m hard limit

Joined live server, blew up gas station, massive explosion

#

no idea why it doesn't reproduce in closed environment

#

Message priority + latency something-something?

#

as in damage from gas pump explosion arrives before message that pump is dead so it creates new gas pump deaths on more clients and more effects broadcasted?

Would it be technically feasible to have a command where you pass in coords for a cuboid, and the engine checks whether that would collide with any surfaces?

#

On a scale from 1 to 10, how bad of an idea it would be to finally just let us do local transformations through scripting without hacks'n'tricks?

alpine tulip
#

But why

#

Not sure if there is a need of local'ing a global object

gaunt depot
#

We already have most of transformation local - orientation, scale, velocity

#

Maybe just let us do the translation too

alpine tulip
#

Do we? I genurely forgot we have such

gaunt depot
#

I mean in a sense that it doesn't invoke any network messages by itself

#

You can override engine sync behaviour for these by each frame setting them to whatever values you want

#

Not positions though, these do network messages on remote

#

I played with fire and got burnt recently by abusing attachTo-detach to do local setpos, thus my question, why not just let us do local set pos properly

#

(Burnt in a sense that detach does invoke a network message regardless of operated entities being net aware or not, unlike attachTo which checks for that)

When you execute this on the server, the server changes the overcast value instantly (like intended) but the client does its normal transition instead of also switching instantly.
Is this intended or a bug ?

0 setOvercast 0.6;

Also looks like client does the transition much slower than the server.
300 SetOvercast 1 executed on the server and client is still at 0.661669 while the server is already at 0.895198 overcast.

This will cause different weather for clients that join after that was executed compared to clients that were already online.
For example in connection with lightnings (they do appear only if overcast >= 0.90), so one client could have lightnings and thunderstrikes and the other not (due to overcast value difference).

I tested the other weather commands, looks like its only setOvercast that behaves like that.

Should be easy to fix for overcast ? Other commands sync properly on the client (setRain, setLightnings)
Because this can cause als kinds of bs

For example in connection with lightnings (they do appear only if overcast >= 0.90), so one client could have lightnings and thunderstrikes and the other not (due to overcast value difference)."

I you join after it was executed on the server you receive the correct value from server.

just search up :)
also you can just fall back to the old days of managing arma 3 mods before the official launcher was released, you just use -mod= or the expansions dialog in-game. but you have to manually put a junction of the workshop mods or pass them directly, a launcher might be better for you because that alternative is time consuming and stuff

With forceWeaponFire you can in theory fire any of the weapon's fire modes, which would be incredibly useful for making AI fire bursts...but it doesn't actually respect burst counts reliably. https://feedback.bistudio.com/T183794

I think so yeah. But the required config changes were not merged

is it not righthand bone?

It's left hand. And it must be defined in config

(binocularBone = "lefthand", similar to how weapon, launcher and pistol bones are defined)

Or it can be right hand too I guess thonk

Depends how you want it. But I think it should be left hand because that's how the soldier holds the binocs in vanilla

the script function drawLaser, whether ran as part of a Draw3d or PerFrame EH, will get snatched up by a picture-in-picture function and only draw in the PiP.

Not sure how many other mods this effects, but Illuminate The Night (ITN) uses drawLaser extensively, and any rtt camera/PiP will commandeer the laser beam, effectively disabling the laser in the main render.

Suggestion: make sides valid varspaces, like:

private _color = (side _this) getVariable "markerColor";

This obviously isn't life-changing, but more often than not I end up reusing a lot of similar code, overusing switch or strings because sides aren't valid namespaces. This issue is easily ""work-aroundable"" and I'm most likely late to the party but I don't know how much effort would be needed to add something like this so it seems a valid suggestion.

I am not sure if the issue is related to the geometry or the physics calculations done when firing/driving near objects and where the big rocks have too complex geometries so the physics/collisions calculations causes the stutters?

Bad FIRE lod geomtry? 🤔

sleek scaffold
# gaunt depot Bad FIRE lod geomtry? 🤔

Don't know but if I remember correctly the SOG team found the issue and fixed their rocks.... and it seems BI lacked the resources to fix the vanilla ones and the issue even affected the Gabreta map since the Iron Courtin devs just used the unfixed rocks

#

Lots of Workshop compositions which use those large rocks end up being used on many missions which offer a poor stutter ridden experiece to the players

regal nimbus
#

Might not be fixable without rebuilding the maps.

#

Although I'd think they could just replace the p3d. I did find that some aspects of objects were baked into the map, like destruction modes.

I think game need throw error when sound set is not found? see https://feedback.bistudio.com/T184104
This ticket as an example classes of engine sound sets that do not exist have been added to the tank, as a result there is no sound and no errors

sinful kettle
#

Since these rocks have very complex roadway LODs it ends up being super expensive. it adds 4920 PhysX meshes per rock (one mesh per face), and that's only for roadway. The geometry/PhysX LODs are also there (but only 20 PhysX meshes for those) meowsweats

sinful kettle
#

the solution is either finding a way to reduce the number of PhysX meshes it creates, or adding a flag to the model/config to ignore cooking the roadway if it's as good as PhysX/geometry LODs

#

The second solution is a lot easier but needs some modeling/config work

#

There's also another solution. It's possible to scan the model once it loads and manually check if the roadway is overlapping with geometry, then add a flag that says don't cook roadway for it

#

this will automatically fix all models so I guess this is the best solution to go with think_turtle
tho it will slow loading models a bit (only those with roadway)

limpid rune
#

why does roadway need to be added to physx anyway? it seems like that's causing more problems then it solves

sinful kettle
#

It does it for buildings blobdoggoshruggoogly

#

Simple objects are not buildings so that's why it solved the stutter issue in that ticket

gaunt depot
#

wild guessing here

limpid rune
#

Yeah my point is though instead of it being added in engine the physx lod in the model could have just.. you know, added the roadway geometry itself

#

like unless im missing something it seems like a dirty hack to avoid updating a bunch of old models

#

to fix ragdolls etc falling through the floor of buildings that dont have properly set up physx lods

For non-terrain objects that could change mid-mission, and I'm not confident that terrain and non-terrain objects can be handled differently in that way.

sinful kettle
#

Almost all the faces on those rocks are "facing up"

#

When I comment out the code related to roadway all the stutters related to these giant rocks are gone 😅
That's not a solution tho meowsweats

fast lodge
#

I meant if I place a rock on the map the faces under the rock are facing down and not up

#

Unless you rotate it

sinful kettle
#

There's no roadway under the rock is there?

sinful kettle
#

That's still too many

fast lodge
#

Dosent the rocks have an roadway hull, so you can rotate it and walk on it

sinful kettle
#

Roadway LOD is not a hull

#

It's just a bunch of surfaces

fast lodge
#

Yea excactly

sinful kettle
#

In any case, like I said still half of the faces face up so that won't solve the problem (it might improve it a bit but that's not good enough)

fast lodge
#

that's unfortunate :(

sinful kettle
#

We're talking about ~2500 (half of those 4920 I mentioned) meshes per rock (which in most cases is even more than a whole bunch of objects plus terrain in a PhysX scene)

fast lodge
#

Yea that's crazy

#

What about the section count in road way lods, does they matter?

#

Like when u use different materials for footsteps

sinful kettle
#

Nope. It just goes over each face and converts it to a convex component (by extruding the face by ~5-20 cm)

uncut briar
#

AFAIK we've optimized these rock models quite a bit in SOGPF

sinful kettle
#

but vanilla ones are still pretty bad 😅
Also this is not specific to rocks but any object with "house" simulation and a roadway LOD with many faces (but seeing them in rocks is more common because they need many faces to reflect their highly variable surfaces)

sinful kettle
#

There are other bugs in the model files.
For example, when I was investigating this bullet-passing-thru-objs issue, I realized that it's due to objects having a small bounding box/radius because animations are not accounted for properly when the model was built (at least not in lods; the model ones seem correct)

#

But fixing these issues by rebuilding all models means we should expect a huge update and that old mods are not gonna be affected. Also it will take a lot of time to rebuild every model in the game and I don't think reyhard has the time to do it
So I think it's best to solve these using a run time solution (but with minimal impact on loading speed)

Topic "Allowdamage not Global"

I noticed such behavior in allowDamage that it is actually local. And in biki it has a tag global\local.
I disabled damage to a server object from the client. And the server sees that damage can be dealt to the object. Units\server client can deal damage to the object, and the one who specified "allowdamage false" can no longer deal damage to the object. It works in the same way with units. A player with "allowDamage false" may not deal damage locally to anyone, but others can deal damage to this object.

image.png
rose cloak
#

it has "Local Argument" tag as well, though

dusky tendon
#

Globally it only has the following: if the object is hit hard and damage is disabled only on the server side, then when falling the object will not receive damage from the client-owner. I just threw a supply box 15 meters and it did not receive damage from falling on the ground. And the owner has damage enabled and bullets do damage. (supply boxes receive, albeit small, but still damage when they fall on the ground even from 1 meter)

I don't think that's particularly unusual behaviour. Other LA/GE commands also have some GA/LE, like setMass. Wiki would ideally cover it, but it's often hard work to prove exactly how these work.

If the player stands near the fire effect then he receives very little damage to the "incapacitated" hitpoint.
The damage is of course not significant, but this makes handledamage trigger every time the fire hits this part of the body.
If he stands exactly in the fire effect then the damage is dealt as expected.

2024-09-16 16:48:57,651 [INFO] 4 (:0): Publisher.Steam.PublishingWorker.DeleteTempFolder - Deleting temporary directory: C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp!Publisher_%40XXX_c38aab8f-3a8a-4c02-ae53-b8ee7ed0b387

#

it happens quite often for me that a3 publisher gets stuck on publishing a new item

#

apparently it gets stuck when deleting the temp folder

#

the folder is deleted but it seems 3 publisher doesnt notice/doesnt get told by windows

#
  1. is this happening for others too?
  2. could it be an OS/VM setup prob?
  3. worth to put on A3 FT?
#

the process still eats a bit of cpu. might be just to draw the app or so

#

might be a permission issue - will try to verify next time (user doesnt have admin permissions, and launched via steam and the a3 tools launcher directly - will try running the publisher.exe as admin next time)

The indirectHit values are a mess :/

#

The mechanics aren't good either. Basically max damage within a radius and then an r^-4 falloff.

#

oh huh

why is what?

…

#

literally what you said

regal nimbus
#

You mean "why is that not good?" or "why was it implemented that way?"

cyan basin
regal nimbus
#

It goes from automatically lethal to nothing within a pretty short radius. I think in practice concussion is normally considered r^3 falloff while fragmentation is more like a probabilistic r^2.5.

#

you're not gonna be able to fix indirectHit stuff in any sort of reasonable way with mods

#

its odd that the SPG9 HE is low though usually vanilla is known for doing the opposite

regal nimbus
#

There are unreasonable ways, like nerfing the indirectHit value and adding your own fragmentation logic.

with indirecthit values being insanely high making them miserable to be on the business end of

well then?

#

It looked like more damage than RGO but similar radius. i was just testing in virtual arsenal though, so not 100% scientific

#

120mm tank rounds have 2-4 kg of explosive, I wonder how they compare in game 🤔

#

Also, i vehemently disagree with the idea that vanilla stuff needs to be fixed by modding. It should be well calibrated out of the box, as it sets a baseline for other mods. Moreover not everyone has the time and skill to mod these things, and sometimes it isn't possible for logistical reasons (e.g. running a no/low mod community).

#

I like making missions, so if systems and assets don't work as expected it kills my motivation to do anything with it, because then i'm more wrestling with the game rather than making missions (which I and other people can then play)

#

(also why i think Reforger not launching with a mission editor (even a 2D one) was a big mistake, but i digress)

I think there is an issue with the recent update on the Profiling Branch.
This bug has partially existed for years, but triggered only sometimes when a player ran into a Helicopters Tail-Rotor (when that helicopter was controlled by a different player).
The bug cases the Player object obtained by player command to be different to the actual player object.
That can be detected like this
_playerObj = missionNamespace getVariable [str player,objNull]; _error = player != _playerObj;
Players have been using that bug to dupe items, as it causes the player object in remoteexections [player, data...] remoteExec to be invalid and therefore prevent synchronization.

I have the above-mentioned check inside my mission to detect this bug and noticed that the current profiling version triggers this check randomly for multiple players (sometimes even every few minutes).
I cloud not find any connection to what the players were doing at that time.

Has anybody noticed this bug or sync problems with players on the profiling version?

gray wharf
#

str player would be e.g "B Alpha 1-1:1 (PlayerName)", so yeah there is no variable like that

the "Intel" will have it's date shown up as the record title? I am pretty sure custom subjects were supposed to have the date removed while title can still be visible.

this was given to me as a solution for getting rid of date from Briefing entries long time ago, but it's apparently not a case anymore

Hi, I put in a feature request for a new particle damageType and for gear to protect against particle damageType in some way.
Currently, particles can only do fire damage. For modding purposes, if there were a "gas" damageType, and a CfgGoggles/CfgWeapons entry to protect against damage types, it would be very useful for making gas masks and gas grenades work between mods without any extra modding or compatibility work, especially because methods for making gas weapons can be very different across mods.

# solid marten you have to be more specific

Is there anything that prevents players from connecting to your currently connected UAV's pilots position uninvited, and maintaining their position in that seat preventing you from controlling your UAV

Or vice versa, preventing them from entering the gunner seat of your UAV while you're flying

Correct

solid marten

the rest of connected players can view the vidéo from uav

#

when gunner or pilot leaves the connected players can take that seat

last jolt
#

My question is, with this new additional feature, can I not allow or prevent this new second player to connect and take position in my drone?

#

Cause this could lead to some pretty annoying instances on servers that employ use of drones where players are going to troll and just connect to them and not get out

#

Easy to fix with a locking script but was just curious if this was considered

solid marten
#

you can try locking the position with lock command, dunno, have not tried it.

solid marten
last jolt
#

It's definitely an issue subjective only to servers that employ use of drones in purchase based asset menus. Typically, the safeguard has always been "they cant connect to it while im connected to it"

But now someone can just hop in your drone and spam dump the ammo or drive it off course while you're gunning.

I was just curious if any provisions in this regard were considered, or maybe an option to disable this feature on the server in something like the custom difficulty file

BreakingPoint head admin here. We have magazines disappearing upon reload now. It has a 100% fail rate if you have more than 2 mags. Sometimes if you have only 1 or 2 mags, they stop disappearing. But if you add or remove a scope or suppressor then reload again it goes back to disappearing. Also if you drag a mag from a weapon into your inventory, it disappears immediately. I tried both modded weapons and default Arma 3 weapons. No errors are showing in our logs. This is a MP server issue only. When I test in the editor with the same mods, the issue does not happen. This began with Arma's update from yesterday.

I can confirm that at least (5) different servers are having the same problem.

Lot less issue today, so far about 25-35 people have come on and off the server and maintained their sessions without crashes or bugs. A couple players connecting from longer distances did time out but I think this is normal network anomaly on their part.

the player was a driver - when exiting the vehicle, his game crashed, the second player sitting in the turret could not exit for 5 minutes, saw how the first player was running in place. When he was thrown out, the second player returned and was able to exit. And this was repeated several times. Has anyone encountered this too?

Adding something, players are reporting RPG projectiles stopping mid air and freezing in place. I would assume this is related to the severe desync issue. I do not have any technical info to add along with this since the players are in game making the reports, I will get on later to check it out

Servers on profiling. Just noting this here

2nd report about this - is it just error reporting more strict with 2.18 ?

well it indicates a scope availability/handling change - if it really did assign the new entity to the variable before 2.18

Yes. But it actually requires to spawn an object

it needs to check the appId tag in the p3d

Even if I put a classname or P3D, it also (internally) read the entire P3D

And stores into RAM AFAIK

Code:
{getAssetDLCInfo [configName _x,configFile >> "CfgWeapons"]} forEach ("true" configClasses (configFile >> "CfgWeapons"))```Much faster than I recall but... meh 🤔
#

Bad for RAM usage too

desert trench
#

what use case do you have for "RAM usage" or duration to matter?

I really recall it was a case

#

I guess I can say disregard about my idea, but Arsenal (and Eden, I guess) should have an update anyways

in 2.18 uneven load on processor cores - in 2.16 it was always uniform.
I use server and HC

Was something with buildings damage handling changed in 2.18?

In SOGPF we have these (low hit points) thatch huts which are configured to show fire effects once they're damaged. In 2.16 small arms fire does nothing to them but in 2.18 you can damage them (showing fire effects) or even collapse them with a mag dump.

#

@solid marten I recall you did something with projectiles but I think it was mostly event handler related?

what does low hit points mean?

#

there were some tweaks bullets vs foliage not sure if related

#

Wasn't there a change on how the size of objects affected the damage they received?

Yeah sadly I use a lot of mods so I can't provide much insight but it came only after the update and thats confirmed through game clips from the weekend prior we were doing the same thing as today no changes besides update - and now shotgun projectiles spawn on the ground near where theyre supposed to hit, and for the person shooting you dont even see the bullet impact effect only other players do, and there is a pretty long delay as seen in the video. Really weird bug

Seeing the same GetObjectLocked: Accessing static object outside landscape (Obj-227,506:1028 in 32,32)

I also had CTDs if you wait long enough after such failed join

This really needs to get addressed soon, it denies a lot of players from playing

I often get this issue while on phone, I guess it's a client app issue
