Blurry scope

Hello guys, Ive been experiencing problems with in-game scopes : your vision becomes blurry once you aim with them through a scope and go back to the mounted Holo or iron-sight if the scope has one. Here is the difference : this is the normal behavior and theres nothing wrong ...

#

this issue came back like in recent years

#

but remember being fixed once

Hey i found a bug thats rather annoying

was mucking about with the sentry waypoint and it seems that if a sentry that knows about an enemy runs back to camp and joins the group the group at camp will refuse to move to next waypoint

#

il make a video

#

oh so now that i decide to record the problem after trying solutions for an hour it works 😭

#

still i got me a cool little sentry systme where if a sentry spots you he runs back to camp warns them then they come for you XD

Seems like AI can't disable dynamic simulation for vehicles.
Unit cantriggerDynamicSimulation (returns true for both client and server), but he can't get into dynamic simulated vehicle. When I get closer to it, he can get in, and then the vehicle driven by him ok, even on large distances.
Dedicated server, profile branch. Dynamic simulation manager runs on the server.
Tested with IFA3 Sdkfz 251.

while it should

obtuse mason Apr 30, 2020, 8:11 PM

~~Hm. Sorry, seems like vanilla vehicles are triggered correctly. Most likely the IFA3 vehicles issue, but what can cause it?~~
Corrected. The unit can get into the vanilla dynamic simulated vehicle, but then he can't do anything.

Dedmen, if you have some spare time, could you check why the context menu in Eden Editor does not support custom keybindings for entries? The keybindings show, but the action is not executed.

Code:

class ENH_LogClassesString
{
    action = "call ENH_fnc_logClassesString";
    Text = $STR_ENH_CONTEXTMENU_LOGCLASSESSTRING;
    conditionShow = "selectedObject + selectedWaypoint + selectedLogic + selectedMarker";
    shortcuts[] = {INPUT_CTRL_OFFSET + DIK_B};
};

have finally managed to 100% reproduce the bug, when a already injured bot gets heavily injured while he was playing healing animation and after you revive him, he's stuck on his belly with weapon on back, not moving, getting up or taking the weapon in hands

#

the only way to unstuck him is to slightly injure him after you revived him and tell him to heal himself

#

imho, it's like he has to finish or redo the healing animation to not be stuck or something like that

#

if it's you that will heal him after injuring him after revive, he will remain stuck

#

so it's only the bot himself that has to heal himself or rather finish play or replay the heal animation to unstuck himself

fickle root May 8, 2020, 2:17 PM

#

if a player is heavily injured while in healing animation and is revived, he won't be stuck, unlike a bot

gray wharf May 8, 2020, 2:23 PM

AI are not supposed to use the Revive system, btw

arctic root May 8, 2020, 2:29 PM

#

AI are not supposed to use the Revive system, btw
@gray wharf we don't use the system you point.
What @fickle root means, is the following sequence makes AI stuck

injure slightly
make heal himself
while AI is playing heal animation call setUnconscious true
at some moment later call setUnconscious false
-> your AI has stuck

#

and to unstuck the AI you:

injure him slightly again
order to heal himself
-> your AI unstuck

stuck in uncon ragdoll? / laying on ground?

arctic root May 8, 2020, 2:32 PM

laying on ground?
laying on ground and refusing move or do anything

untold sky May 8, 2020, 2:32 PM

Sounds similar to not being able to get back up, if you don't have a weapon equipped

arctic root May 8, 2020, 2:33 PM

#

their weapons are on their backs at that moment

untold sky May 8, 2020, 2:34 PM

#

there is a problem with human players too that they can only get up when they can take a weapon in hand

fickle root May 8, 2020, 2:35 PM

#

actually, when setUnconscious true, the AI is laying on his back and is animated
when you revive him setUnconscious false he turns from back on his belly, but weapon remain on his back -> stuck

#

but like I said, this happens only if setUnconscious while AI was healing himself

untold sky May 8, 2020, 2:37 PM

#

i already fixed the humans not being able to get up thing, maybe that fixes the AI stuff too

arctic root May 8, 2020, 2:37 PM

#

I've tried different commands like doMove/playAction but haven't tried selectWeapon

fickle root May 8, 2020, 2:38 PM

#

if setUnconscious and no healing animation played, after you revive him, everything is normal, he turns from back on his belly and takes the weapon in hands

gray wharf May 8, 2020, 2:38 PM

#

i already fixed the humans not being able to get up thing, maybe that fixes the AI stuff too
I would say it is linked to the AI healing script/FSM, due to it not stopping at the same animation level

arctic root May 8, 2020, 2:40 PM

I've tried different commands like doMove/playAction but haven't tried selectWeapon

There is a problem with BattlEye, concerning Arma chat.

When I'm writing in chat, there is a physical limit of what I can write and it won't let me write more. This is ok.

But the problem is that when I send a message in chat, only a portion of it is displayed to other players, despite me seeing everything on my client

#

this is what I see on my client

📎 Arma3_x64_2020-05-10_18-12-03-748.png

#

this is what other players see:
19:11:24 BattlEye Server: (Side) Groove_C: ну и дела, вот это поворот, не ожидал такого от тебя. расстроил ты меня порям по пол΍

#

it's like half only half of what I've written and of what's visible to me, in this same chat, on my side

untold sky May 10, 2020, 4:47 PM

#

Make a ticket

#

probably won't fix that

fickle root May 10, 2020, 4:47 PM

#

also for some reason, chat is limited in Bytes and not in symbols, which is really not how it should be (provided it can done differently?)

#

probably won't fix that
@untold sky because it's BattlEye thing?

untold sky May 10, 2020, 4:48 PM

#

No, because its not important

fickle root May 10, 2020, 4:48 PM

#

will make a ticket anyways

#

when writing to Arma chat from RСon, everything works correctly and players see everything
so it's only when transmitting from Arma client to Arma server/other clients that it cuts down significantly what's seen from your message by other players

stone tree May 11, 2020, 12:04 PM

Any chance that this ticket will fix in 2.0 update?)

@sterile nova I made 1 ticket with all problematic buildings on all the maps, but only Altis ones were fixed.
So I thought buildings on other maps won't be fixed and therefor modified the ticket, removing everything non-Atis, so the ticket can be closed

sterile nova May 12, 2020, 1:10 PM

#

doh

#

never mind then

fickle root May 12, 2020, 1:11 PM

Can make a new ticket for Livonia

sterile nova May 12, 2020, 1:15 PM

#

it's already in internal FT with old ticket link

#

commit also went with old FT link

fickle root May 12, 2020, 1:20 PM

#

so do you want me to readd everything to the old ticket?

#

also my ticket was only about missing view blocking

#

but there are also buildings on Altis and Livonia, where you visually have windows, but if you switch to AI view, there is only the wall, without cutouts, where you visually have windows
so AI can't see and shoot, through a "wall"

fickle root May 12, 2020, 1:37 PM

#

would be nice to fix Livonia buildings, since they're used in CUP maps

untold sky May 12, 2020, 1:38 PM

#

I think reyhard wants to fix just that, and wants your data about which buildings have problems where

sterile nova May 12, 2020, 1:39 PM

#

@fickle root I got everything

#

also I found out that View Geometry debuging is flawed due to occluders

#

so if you see a wall in view geo, it doesn't mean AI cannot see through it as long as that occluder is without "ComponentX"

fickle root May 12, 2020, 1:42 PM

#

so there is no reliable way to check if AI can see or not?

#

other than check manually with an AI

#

will check that house on Livonia if AI can see something, since no cutouts for even a single window and there are like 6 or more windows on the same floor and same room

sterile nova May 12, 2020, 1:59 PM

#

Well, I ended up looking from inside building in View Geo mode

fickle root May 12, 2020, 2:21 PM

#

also strange, when I was checking some buildings, from inside sometimes there was no visual obstacle, when window visually closed with wooden sticks, but from outside, same window was blocked )))

sterile nova May 12, 2020, 2:35 PM

#

those are aforementioned occluders - they are big boxes and their faces are only visible from outside

fickle root May 12, 2020, 2:38 PM

#

so if occluder present outside, even if nothing visually blocking from inside, the AI inside shouldn't see anything from inside to outside, thanks to occluder outside?

maybe fire a detection on all 3 axes, if none works, then no window?

fickle root May 14, 2020, 5:59 PM

#

Lou so if I understand it correctly, if the red arrow, when looking onto a window, still points like on a wall, then the grenade won't be able to fly through?
so I don't even need to throw grenades?

gray wharf May 14, 2020, 5:59 PM

#

it seems so

fickle root May 14, 2020, 6:02 PM

#

I checked it now on houses and it works fine
so when I point it onto a window and it works, the arrow will go deeper, if it's not working, the arrow will remain at same level as the wall itself

#

checked with the red arrow just few random houses while being on our server and insta found an additional house with such a problem
video uploading
so the red arrow method works!

what about bullets blocked by kinda glass when shooting, despite windows glass broken?

fickle root May 14, 2020, 9:49 PM

and I think that it's impossible to check it all other than manually, since there are not only windows, but also areas like this that also don't let the grenade pass through

fickle root May 14, 2020, 10:30 PM

yes, on one side, where metal plates are missing and AI should see, the view is "somehow" blocked
but on the other side, where the view should be blocked by metal plates, view blocking is mostly missing

there is also a problem with fog in mp, but it works just fine in sp
when fog must visually slowly disappear, it does so in sp, but in mp it's like somebody pushes an almost insta switch - no transition
I think it can have something to do with synchronization

The RCO and ERCO optic's aiming reticule becomes significantly misaligned with the barrel (where the bullets will go) as soon as you adjust your aim in any direction. This must not be intended behaviour since the other 2x magnified optics such as the ARCO and MRCO work correctly where the aiming reticule is always aligned with the barrel. The RCO and ERCO should be updated so that they work similar to the ARCO and MRCO. I've included a brief vid to demonstrate the issue in the ticket.

The FT that we've been discussed over the server is here

alpine tulip Jun 1, 2020, 7:59 AM

#

So, before raise a ticket, I wanted to discuss a bit about my suggestion: currently, try to suspend in unscheduled environment (such as call) will return a Error Generic error in expression. However, since the reason is obvious, I think an error should be like “tried to suspend in unscheduled” error instead current one. This should be helpful for everyone I think, but what do you think?

untold sky Jun 1, 2020, 9:34 AM

#

We already have a cannot suspend warning

#

"Generic error in expression" is always shown, next to the actual real warning

alpine tulip Jun 1, 2020, 9:38 AM

#

Ahh...

untold sky Jun 1, 2020, 9:39 AM

#

But somehow very often people either don't see the real warning (Maybe its not shown ingame but in RPT?) or there is some issue where it isn't always provided as it should

alpine tulip Jun 1, 2020, 9:40 AM

#

Error in expression <sleep 1>
  Error position: <sleep 1>
  Error Generic error in expression```Ahh there it is

#

Then it is an issue?

untold sky Jun 1, 2020, 9:43 AM

#

Suspending not allowed in this context
Well if thats always shown and people are just blind, then thats not an issue

#

if its missing in the ingame popup, then thats an issue thats easy to fix

alpine tulip Jun 1, 2020, 9:45 AM

#

Well, I meant latter. I've never seen this error in black message so will make a ticket

if you have an example script you should post that in your ticket, which will speed repro on dev side as they have to spend less time investigating.

Very nice find. IMHO the popup message should always say something like : "See .rpt file for full error message". I guess many folks forget about that or don't know it.

In Editor it's always on, IIRC

uncut briar Jun 1, 2020, 1:05 PM

@exotic snow , the appropriate thing to do is go to the feedback tracker above and submit a ticket for this. I believe the correct subject is "security issue", but I can't recall at the moment.

The absolute wrong way to do it is to publicly tell everyone how to exploit the game 🚫

OK sorry

#

I have 4k hours on Arma 3 and this bug it's too old

vagrant mulch Jun 4, 2020, 7:22 PM

Probably because no one has taken the time to submit or support an existing ticket.

Also, hours mean nothing, you can keep the launcher open in the background and accumulate hours.

Not sure if the right section to post this...

Could be a bug I guess, but I'm sometimes getting the engine sounds for Ifrit/Hunters (possibly other vehicles) "doubled up".

As in I get the engine sounds and they respond in line with acceleration/braking etc but at some point when driving another engine sound overlays the first and it does not stop unless I exit the vehicle. It's more of a short, looped, engine sound that stays the same throughout.

Stopping the engine just stops the main engine sound, not the sound thats over the top of the main engine!

Anyone else seen this?

@rigid hound mods?

OK.. Got a video - though might be able to tell you what to do to reproduce it. Drive a Hunter HMG.. Start vehicle and drive. Press key to switch to gunner. Fire HMG. Switch back to driver. Extra engine sound stays until I exit the vehicle. Will get it up on youtube.

Not sure if I'm remembering correctly but I recall ragdolls not colliding with vehicles at some point.

vale wasp Jul 3, 2020, 8:34 AM

#

Is it the units ragdoll colliding or the weapon holder? I was under the impression it's the latter, because a vehicle might get stuck on a weapon a few feet away from a body, but never happened on body without gun. And units with launcher are a higher risk when running them over. Probably it's both...

#

It's not just armor, but any vehicle. Ragdoll from a dead driver when entering the vehicle might also launch it, probably with the get out points close by

Yes, it's fully vanilla.
please provide config path in ticket then if its only one

Default should probably be what it currently is defaulting to after printing the error

I assume after erroring with "Wrong color format" it leaves with default initialized

daring wagon Jul 17, 2020, 10:39 AM

#

Not sure what config path you exactly want configFile >> "ctrlStructuredText" >> "Attributes" >> "colorLink"
The error is caused by every GUI which uses ctrlStructuredText and does not overwrite colorLink attribute

Would it be possible to also add a command which focuses the selected text? For example when multiple lines are used it would scroll so the marked area is visible?

#

@daring wagon maybe put text into ctrl group and scroll it with ctrlSetScrollValues?

daring wagon Jul 19, 2020, 2:25 PM

That would work sure. But how can I figure out if the marked text is visible or not. Maybe I am just at a loss here.

fickle root Jul 20, 2020, 9:58 AM

#

can something be done to AA missiles, ground-air and air-air or can air targets/vehicles be drawed only within the limits of view distance?
since you can lock air targets only if targets are within overall view distance, despite air targets/vehicles being drawed like even at 10 km, even if view distance is set to just 500 m
view distance limit applies only to ground objects, like vehicles, buildings and vegetation, but not to air

so when you aim at a heli or jet, because you can see it, even despite it being out of your view distance, you can't lock it and you're wondering why, since you can see it and thus the missile "should be" able to lock it

all of this is of course considering limits of each missile/radar range

gray wharf Jul 20, 2020, 10:00 AM

#

+1, w/ setFeatureType conditions too

daring wagon Jul 20, 2020, 10:17 AM

#

+1

#

If you can see it, you should be able to lock it (if in range)

fickle root Jul 20, 2020, 10:36 AM

#

well, it's nice to see be able to see the threat outside set view distance, despite having low view distance (because of FPS), but the I would like to be able to lock
or if how missiles work is bound to engine limitations, then air targets should be drawed within view distance limits

but I would have preferred the first option, if it's possible to leave air targets being drawed like now (not bound to view distance), but make it possible to lock air targets outside view distance, since you can see them (unlike ground targets, which you can't see outside set view distance)

untold sky Jul 20, 2020, 10:43 AM

#

most lock types also have a max range though. So even if you can see something that will not mean that you can lock onto it

#

View distance setting shouldn't matter though, but fog should.
And as view distance setting is implemented by generating fog, not that simple of a solution

fickle root Jul 20, 2020, 10:44 AM

#

please, read before responding. I've indicated, that when writing my post, that missile/radar ranger were considered!

untold sky Jul 20, 2020, 10:44 AM

#

please, read before responding
I did, you edited that in after I read it

#

But as I said, some lockon ranges might be influenced by fog, independent of the actual missile range

#

There are systems that can lock onto ranges that the missile doesn't even have enough fuel to reach, and ofc also opposite.
I don't see how your statment changes that

fickle root Jul 20, 2020, 10:45 AM

#

if you have view distance like 500 m, but jet is flying 2000 m from you, you see the jet outside these 500 m, despite it flying 2000 m from you, but Titan can't lock it, despite it being within Titan range

untold sky Jul 20, 2020, 10:46 AM

#

Re-read what I wrote above.

#

View distance is implemented with fog effect, Titan is IR lock, IR can't see through fog.

fickle root Jul 20, 2020, 10:46 AM

#

no fog and not in/above clouds

untold sky Jul 20, 2020, 10:47 AM

#

You can see the jet through where should be a fog barrier, because of feature type. That was probably not respected in the implementation

#

setFeatureType was implemented later on, so very likely that part was forgotten

fickle root Jul 20, 2020, 10:47 AM

#

one moment, I think we don't understand each other

#

something like a tank is bound to objects view distance, but a jet/heli is not

untold sky Jul 20, 2020, 10:48 AM

#

Yes, because of featureType

fickle root Jul 20, 2020, 10:49 AM

#

so you can have overall view distance set to like 12 km and objects to 500 m, so you won't see a tank, but you will see the jet at 3 km from your position, without fog, since overall view distance is set to 12 km

#

but you won't be able to lock it, despite seeing it, because of 500 m objects distance

#

so do you think this can be fixed?

untold sky Jul 20, 2020, 10:51 AM

#

ah yes view distance != object view distance.
fog would only apply to view distance.

#

so do you think this can be fixed?
I assigned your FT ticket about this to myself before you started writing here

fickle root Jul 20, 2020, 10:51 AM

#

is this the same?

untold sky Jul 20, 2020, 10:51 AM

#

Seems to be

fickle root Jul 20, 2020, 10:52 AM

#

because my tickets wasn't related to air targets

untold sky Jul 20, 2020, 10:53 AM

#

only difference there is featureType of air targets
Same underlying issue

fickle root Jul 20, 2020, 10:54 AM

#

sorry, but I don't know what featureType is )

#

so no need to create a new ticket?

untold sky Jul 20, 2020, 10:55 AM

#

no

fickle root Jul 20, 2020, 10:55 AM

#

you will think about featureType problem as well when working on my other ticket?

untold sky Jul 20, 2020, 10:55 AM

#

I added a note to it to also check featureType

fickle root Jul 20, 2020, 10:55 AM

#

perfect!

#

so then it would be just fine, like it is now, that missiles are bound not to objects view distance, but to overall view distance, since jets/helis are not related to objects view distance
one only needs to make it work/apply to jets/helis, or something like this

#

because I was thinking that missiles hitting targets should be bound to objects view distance and not to overall view distance, like it's now, for some reason

#

oh, now I know what featureType is.
so you will change jets/helis visibility from overall/terrain distance to objects distance only?

#

if so, it will harm more than it will help

#

I'm ok with not being able to lock what I see, than not see jets/helis at all and being hit by a missile from "nowhere", because of my low objects view distance, because of FPS

untold sky Jul 20, 2020, 11:17 AM

#

I don't know what I will change yet

fickle root Jul 20, 2020, 11:22 AM

#

if jets/helis visibility will be bound to objects visibility, then a player with greater objects visibility (flying the jet) will leave no chances to a player with lower objects visibility (infantry/ground vehicles)

gray wharf Jul 20, 2020, 11:24 AM

#

if you can slide this ticket at the same time, it's wonderful 😄
https://feedback.bistudio.com/T143578

fickle root Jul 20, 2020, 11:27 AM

#

if even on the ground, the one, who has greater objects visibility, has an advantage over the enemy...
the enemy, knowing he has really poor visibility, can at least wisely use landscape, vegetation and buildings to compensate for this a little bit

but from jets/helis with greater objects distance than ground forces, there is no escape
so it's great to be able to see jets/helis outside of set objects visibility, like it's done now

I believe that multiplayer competitive games should be balanced in a way that they do not favor players with greater PC specs intentionally like having systems and mechanics that depend on viewdistance to work as intended. That viewdistance is fog argument is not convincing since it is a fake fog really and there are ways around that even script wise so engine wise there should be even more options.

I'll take a look at it in a couple months maybe

sleek scaffold Jul 20, 2020, 7:44 PM

#

As it is now it does favor the high specs gamer in detriment of those with low view distances. The thing is that viewdistance really depends on other assets such as the map or the optimization mods/scripts you are running so even a gamer with a 4000 viewdistance may have his viewdistance set lower by mission maker/dynamic viewdistance and/or running for example on chernarous redux that has so many assets that you need to lower your viewdistance to get acceptable frames

#

Unfair mechanics deserve a look, even if crashes and other bugs should be a priority of course 🙂

sleek scaffold Jul 20, 2020, 8:19 PM

#

I responded your comment on the feedback tracker:

#

Deadman: Also keep in mind setFeatureType might make things render and visible even outside of any view distance setting.

#

Valmont: By things you mean the vehicle being tracked by the missile? Or the object that the missile is going towards? Because the bad things here are two: That the missile looses track a of target just because you lowered your viewdistance and the fact that if you shoot your rocket towards an object if you reduce your viewdistance the missile just goes randomly anywhere instead of the original direction of said object. If the missile looses an object it just needs to continue going straight towards the last known position of said object or the direction it was fired at and not any random direction or perhaps position [0,0,0].

-add a function to tell if a player is hearing a radio message atm or not, preferably returning the class name of that radio
-reason:
player sideRadio "classname" does queue up the radio messages, but it gives no way of telling how long a message is or when its finished. The configs hold no entries about the radio length (like cfg sound does).
-alternative solutions:
EH with radioStarted and radioEnded OR add config entries for radio sound length OR add a function that reads the audio files length.

@untold sky what would be the point of that? More rpt spam with errors not fixable without making a mod? There is nothing wrong with defaulting color if it is missing, you don’t need to make a .rpt drama of every single missing config entry if you can just use default

Is it supposed that objectparent command works differently for clients and dedicated?
For on-foor units, on dedicated it always returns the unit itself, but null for client.

gray wharf Aug 5, 2020, 10:43 PM

#

I believe it should not!

obtuse mason Aug 5, 2020, 10:49 PM

#

Ok, thanks, then I'll write a bug report.

gray wharf Aug 5, 2020, 10:54 PM

#

confirmed, no addons, yadda yadda?

obtuse mason Aug 5, 2020, 11:14 PM

#

Mostly WW2 mods. Can't test it with vanilla settings, but I'll try to test it it with vanilla units.
It has a weird behavior.
Shortly: there is a loop (3 sec) which calculates most of player parameters. I decided to move the loop to server.
There was a simple check if !(isNull objectParent _unit) then {code1} else {code2};
It was checked on AI unit in player's group.
Actually the script did executed both codes - firstly the code2, then it switched to code1.
When I check the objectParent _unit in both scopes, for client it returs <NULL>, for dedicated it returns the unit itself.

obtuse mason Aug 6, 2020, 1:03 PM

#

Also, is it supposed that AI units inside a vehicle with dynamic simulation enabled (dynamic simulation manager works on dedicated) can't activate it, even if they "canTriggerDynamicSimulation"? Do they need to be only outside the vehicle to trigger it?
Interesting, that I it worked 100% for dev version (I used it before because of PhysX issues for some modded WeaponHolders).
Or it can be a vehicle specific problem?

naive ledge Aug 7, 2020, 7:16 AM

Sorry for off topic talk. I gave up using Dynamic Simulation, too many problems on specific border cases like this one or similar 🤷 @obtuse mason

sterile nova Aug 11, 2020, 8:13 AM

#

notice difference in syntax

#

[mg, "HMG_static"] call BIS_fnc_fire; this will work

#

as for forceWeaponFire , it works also on blackfoot, no idea it fails on static turret but I guess its due to driver less setup

obtuse mason Aug 11, 2020, 8:19 AM

#

Oh... Thanks a lot. I thought I tried the gun itself as the parameter...

obtuse mason Aug 11, 2020, 8:40 AM

forceWeaponFire still doesn't work in both variants.
Seems like it worked before: I'm trying to fix mgROF procedure for MG-42 in IFA3 - it uses the forceWeaponFire command for generating a salvo with high RoF.
Yup, I've fixed it with BIS_fnc_fire! 🙂

@daring wagon at least I would have done what I can from my part.
So BI can't say it wasn't fixed because nobody reported it.

#

Only found a few bad geometries and they where already reported though
@normal crow I would need the tickets where it was reported, to see if fixed or if need to bump up these tickets

normal crow Aug 25, 2020, 9:47 AM

#

This was in 2015-2016. IIRC I only found one altis residential building, one big tanoan tree with above ground roots and one tin fence.

#

They were all fixed some time after.

fickle root Aug 25, 2020, 9:49 AM

#

Also maybe there are problems with newer vegetation, like Livonia or Malden, since they are newer than Stratis, Altis, Tanoa

normal crow Aug 25, 2020, 9:51 AM

#

A year ago I checked 103 out of 938 Livonian map objects. I don't recall any major problems with those.

fickle root Aug 25, 2020, 9:52 AM

#

835 objects not checked )

normal crow Aug 25, 2020, 9:52 AM

#

good point. 🙂

fickle root Aug 25, 2020, 9:53 AM

#

What is the screen you posted here?
A script?

normal crow Aug 25, 2020, 9:54 AM

#

Yes. It projects a matrix of lines from the point of view and draws lines where the view is blocked.

#

colored spheres represent how "opaque" the line is.

untold sky Aug 25, 2020, 9:55 AM

#

you can also just run diag build and let it render the view lod for you, so you can just look at it instead of tracing lines

normal crow Aug 25, 2020, 9:56 AM

#

yes that is the better way these days.

#

Wish we had that 5 years ago.

fickle root Aug 25, 2020, 9:58 AM

#

The other ticket I will try to do, is check all objects for AI view blockings where it shouldn't

not blocking where it should.
Since for now, I've only done this for buildings' windows only

@gray wharf do you think it's possible (within ingame server browser) to check if server has mods listed as required and if so, open a popup that proposes to redirect you to exactly this server in the launcher browser, so you can subscribe and download them + finally connect to the server?

gray wharf Aug 25, 2020, 10:51 AM

#

I would suppose "yes"

#

a delta between currently loaded mods vs required server mods would tell you "you're missing X and Y" at least

fickle root Aug 25, 2020, 10:53 AM

#

if this was done in A3 (it's never too late!), it would have been a revolution for every server owner and palyer

#

I know so many modded servers that don't have enough players or no players at all, because players double click on them and get kicked without understanding why.
and believe me, they won't search to understand why. they will double click on another server and if they will be able to connect to it, then this is where they will play

#

only well know projects (minority), that sometimes are even know by players that haven't even bought Arma yet, thanks to streams and buy Arma because of them and check all the vids, what to do in order to join them, they don't count

#

for other modded servers, players present there do a long way in vanilla Arma first, learning mechanics and appreciating the base game, before hearing about modded servers and slowly searching on how to join them

fickle root Aug 25, 2020, 3:49 PM

where? I'm a noob

gray wharf Aug 25, 2020, 3:49 PM

#

instead of "GEOM"

fickle root Aug 25, 2020, 3:50 PM

#

what should it do instead of GEOM? what should be the result?

gray wharf Aug 25, 2020, 3:51 PM

#

well, where a grenade passes, and "GEOM" stops the arrow, try "FIRE"

#

it should go through (not 100% sure, hence why I ask you to try that to be sure)

fickle root Aug 25, 2020, 3:51 PM

#

tried now, it works!

#

where the red arrow was not passing before

#

it now passes

#

with FIRE

#

and the real grenade as well

#

oh no, don't tell me I have to recheck everything from 0

gray wharf Aug 25, 2020, 3:54 PM

#

I am not telling you that, buuuuuut…

fickle root Aug 25, 2020, 3:56 PM

#

ok, but what about GEOM then?

#

like here for example

gray wharf Aug 25, 2020, 3:57 PM

#

what, about GEOM?

fickle root Aug 25, 2020, 3:57 PM

#

https://i.imgur.com/vN1Uabh.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/FXWULkR.jpg

Imgur

#

what does this mean then?

#

on left shelf there is no space for red arrow to pass through/between with GEOM and on the right shelf there is space for red arrow to pass between/through

uncut briar Aug 25, 2020, 4:00 PM

#

FIRE is for collisions with bullets etc.

#

GEOM is for general collisions of objects.

#

for eg. you will be not driving a car between the shelves so the normal geometry is just a simple box most likely.

fickle root Aug 25, 2020, 4:01 PM

#

well, my goal was to check all objects for grenades to be able to pass through, where it should be possible in real life

#

like between shelves, or through a window

uncut briar Aug 25, 2020, 4:02 PM

#

I thought nades used normal GEO, no? thomp

fickle root Aug 25, 2020, 4:04 PM

#

a have several cases, when using GEOM, where the red arrow doesn't go through, but the grenade does

gray wharf Aug 25, 2020, 4:04 PM

#

I would say they use "FIRE", but that's only a guess

fickle root Aug 25, 2020, 4:05 PM

#

man, all the time spent is then rather wasted...

#

or maybe not

gray wharf Aug 25, 2020, 4:07 PM

#

🐮 PERHAPS

fickle root Aug 25, 2020, 4:10 PM

#

I have objects, where with GEOM the red arrow doesn't pass through, but the grenade does

#

I think I have to stick to GEOM, but still have to check with real grenades then

fickle root Aug 25, 2020, 4:38 PM

#

also if there are objects, where with FIRE red arrow passes through them, like through a wall, does it mean a bullet will pass as well, like the wall isn't there, even if visually it's there?

#

the only thing I can observe is that where the red arrow can pass through with GEOM, real grenade also can pass through

#

so GEOM + real grenade check then (((

sterile nova Aug 25, 2020, 4:48 PM

#

Geo physics is used for grenades

#

If geo physx is not present, then regular geometry is used

fickle root Aug 25, 2020, 4:49 PM

#

so yes, I have to check using GEOM + real grenades then

#

since I have places/objects, where the red arrow doesn't go through with GEOM, but real grenade does

fickle root Aug 25, 2020, 5:10 PM

#

stairs of all buildings need to be checked as well 🤪
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZ4WAKaLN4s

fickle root Aug 25, 2020, 6:08 PM

#

thanks to rechecking my list with real grenades, I could slightly shorten it

#

GEOM only with red arrow is not very reliable (

gray wharf Aug 25, 2020, 6:26 PM

#

You could make a grenade-spawning script, grenades being deleted before they explode

fickle root Aug 25, 2020, 6:26 PM

#

no such skills (

#

#

infinite grenades and deleted before explosion

#

gray wharf Aug 25, 2020, 6:27 PM

Would this help? Ok, I can help (in about an hour)

fickle root Aug 25, 2020, 6:27 PM

#

thx

#

I'll continue manually for now

fickle root Aug 25, 2020, 7:39 PM

#

lol, there is kinda "magical belt" for damaged domes from Malden
anything you throw at them, below this "belt", won't go through (unless hole/opening present)
anything you throw at them, above this "belt", will go through (despite dome construction textures)

reyhard is it possible that the big green hangar has the part containing windows simply added atop of the semi-round roof?
because when throwing grenades from outside through windows of hangar, they go past windows, but don't fall on the ground inside. they instead bounce of the semi-round invisible roof behind windows
and when trying to throw grenades through windows from inside of hangar, they can't go through windows neither. they again hit the semi-round invisible roof of the hangar and bounce of

fickle root Aug 26, 2020, 11:09 AM

would be good if it was reworked to allow grenades to go through there, as well from inside to outside as inside from outside

fickle root Aug 26, 2020, 12:35 PM

#

by cutting openings in both sides of the invisible roof parts, in size and shape required, so it doesn't block grenades

spare vine Aug 26, 2020, 12:47 PM

#

but you shouldn't be able to throw grenades through windows either (unless the glass breaks, which is pretty hard with that angle)

#

PS. not saying it shouldn't be fixed, but in this case it's very minor IMHO

fickle root Aug 26, 2020, 12:52 PM

#

well, if you didn't know, in Arma, hand grenades always go through any glass

#

so here it shouldn't be an exception

#

you never need to break the glass to be able to throw a grenade and by throwing it, it simply goes through glass, not breaking it

#

let it be this way, I'm fine with it, but then it should work everywhere, when there are glass windows and even more so, when there are openings without any glass and 0 visual obstacles

#

when grenades can't go through places where they're naturally supposed to be able to go through, no players can know all the objects/places, where it doesn't work and shouldn't have to know them
thus throwing a grenade reveals your presence, possibly position or the grenade can even fly back and kill you
even worse is when you have the advantage of better position or hidden or attacking first, but you get killed, not because you did something wrong or you're a noob, but because of causes independent from your actions

Just found out there's actually functionality in place to reset sound device, maybe I can fix sound being broken when you change windows output device 🤔

#

oh my.. or start parameter to select which audio device Arma should use, so that you can have a seperate one :U
Btw Arma uses the first interface that's either "DefaultGameDevice" or "DefaultMultimediaDevice"
But I think windows doesn't let you specifically select a "default game device" without making it also default for windows and all sounds :(
They only have a "general default" and "communications default".. Or does Windows 10 have the option? Atleast I can't find it

Would be EXTREMELY useful if you could run profiling branch and get a diag_captureFrame log of when the FPS are low

#

But It'll probably turn out to be one of your mods spawning tons of stuff, or doing bad scripting

molten prairie Sep 1, 2020, 12:06 PM

the thing is I've been through the scripts with multiple people to optimise them, and they've said it's the best it can be. I've also used that exact modset for other missions and had no problems. It doesn't happen mod less because I've never ever had this issue with any other mods other than these ones. If one of you could run through the scripts with me and see if you can spot anything that would very nice.

@molten prairie You are using "Zombies and Demons ACE integration", it was last updated long before the latest ACE version and will surely have compatibility issues. I am not saying that that is the culprit of your issues but it is stuff like that what tends to cause unintended behavior.

If you pass empty name this is what you get

modParams ["9826298167389", ["active"]]; // should not log into RPT modParams ["", ["active"]]; // should log into RPT about empty mod

daring wagon Sep 6, 2020, 10:08 AM

#

Ok so I just need to make sure the mod is not ""

solid marten Sep 6, 2020, 10:21 AM

Unless you you want Arma to guess what mod you have in mind, pretty much yeah

Is it intended that the Chemical detectors have different itemTypes and if yes, why AccessoryBipod?

"ChemicalDetector_01_watch_F" call BIS_fnc_itemType; //["Item","Watch"]
"ChemicalDetector_01_olive_F" / "ChemicalDetector_01_black_F" / "ChemicalDetector_01_tan_F" call BIS_fnc_itemType; //["Item","AccessoryBipod"]

Is MX 6.5x38 or 6.5x39? (Not sure quick issue report goes here though)

📎 unknown.png

#

Also, why does black MX has “XMX” on its side?

near cedar Sep 11, 2020, 1:45 PM

#

it's painted black, so it's Xtreme

shadow beacon Sep 11, 2020, 1:50 PM

#

X prefix usually indicates a prototype used before field acceptance. So assume the CTRG guys with the black MXs were issued them before they were fielded by US/NATO forces

gray wharf Sep 11, 2020, 1:52 PM

#

6.5×39, I think it was originally ×38 but changed at one point (same as a weapon (Mk14? has a 7.62×54 instead of ×51, or the other way around)

sinful kettle Sep 12, 2020, 3:25 PM

#

Correct me if I'm wrong guys, I think a few versions ago (maybe even stable 1.98), when I used a filter in Arma 3 Launcher to find a group of mods, and selected "Load All" or "Unload All" it would only unload/load the mods listed after the filter, but now it unloads/loads every mod I have.

~~I'm on the DEV branch now.~~

~~Am I imagining things, or is this a bug?!~~

how are chances to see this in engine now with KK and Dedmen in-house 🙏

expecting a BIS_fnc_regex sqf implementation!

untold sky Sep 13, 2020, 6:52 PM

I already wanted to do to that kju, we need to add a regex library which would be a rather big undertaking

Is it possible to make boundingBox commands work with strings? (path to model)

untold sky Sep 16, 2020, 12:49 PM

#

due to how models work, not really

#

possible sure, but not desirable

sinful kettle Sep 16, 2020, 12:50 PM

#

so you mean you have to create a temp model?

untold sky Sep 16, 2020, 12:50 PM

Yeah

sinful kettle Sep 16, 2020, 12:50 PM

#

Ah. ok

untold sky Sep 16, 2020, 12:50 PM

most efficient way would be createSimpleObject local only

Just wanted to say that version 2.0 is looking super promising! So keep it up devs 😉 You guys are doing an impressive job!

I wondered again, regarding SQF optimisations:

is it somewhat possible to make && and || operators not evaluate the right-hand part if the left one is true? (I don't remember how it is called)

#

Short-circuit evaluation here it is

untold sky Sep 26, 2020, 7:26 PM

#

no

#

but && {} is a thing

#

you won't get any more

gray wharf Sep 26, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

yep, okay - thanks
I wondered as there might be some CPU saving hiding somewhere - but that one might not be a big target

untold sky Sep 26, 2020, 7:29 PM

#

It would be pretty good

#

but not really doable

gray wharf Sep 26, 2020, 7:30 PM

I'll go with "SQF" for 5000$ Alan!

#

possible to have both "introduced in DLC" and "DLC required to own " visualization?

alpine tulip Sep 27, 2020, 5:34 AM

#

Are you asking to me?

#

I don't think so, at least via ListBox. ListNBox maybe can do that

#

Honestly I didn't think “introduced in” is such important for players, especially ones who bought Arma 3 today

desert trench Sep 27, 2020, 5:43 AM

#

the question was about official support/change - like KK still does fixes/tweaks to Arsenal i think
personally i think ownership is also more important, but I guess BI wants to indicate what DLC/package an assets belongs to - hence the question for two icons/to display both in some way

alpine tulip Sep 27, 2020, 5:51 AM

#

Ah, I get the question. Repeating my answer, ListBox doesn't support more than two (left and right) pictures AFAIK, ListNBox however can show the images more than 2

#

The Arsenal thingy I worked uses ListNBox, so possible to place more pictures like this. This only shows the required DLC just like the MOD you post, though

desert trench Sep 27, 2020, 6:00 AM

#

yup

#

an alternative could be to make the name red if you dont own a DLC for the given asset

daring wagon Sep 27, 2020, 7:34 AM

#

I would love to see a command which would return true if an item requires ownership.

alpine tulip Sep 27, 2020, 7:34 AM

#

Isn't it getAssetDLCInfo?

daring wagon Sep 27, 2020, 7:35 AM

#

oh, that one is new.

#

I haven't looked into it.

#

hmm, doesn't look like it's telling if in order to use the item, the dlc is required

alpine tulip Sep 27, 2020, 7:37 AM

#

Doesn't it?

#

I thought this is the best way to get requirements? Can't tell if it's true right now since I'm not in the RC or Dev right now

daring wagon Sep 27, 2020, 7:39 AM

#

That's the return value, maybe I misunderstand one of the points

📎 unknown.png

desert trench Sep 27, 2020, 1:41 PM

#

did you do some testing on some assets yet?

#

required DLC ownership is determined by appId assignment. maybe this is checked by this command

daring wagon Sep 27, 2020, 4:23 PM

#

Haven't tested that yet because I didn't know. Thanks for letting me know.

desert trench Sep 27, 2020, 7:00 PM

#

appId can be set in p3d, wrp and mission.sqm

#

there is also some DLC related definitions in the config space (ie cfgMods), but i think these are only for the DLC browser and maybe some other ingame display areas - yet not real ownership checks

#

BI made this page a while ago: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_DLC_Content_Licensing

#

maybe not that ticket (that would add a UI task etc)
but would it be possible for the 3rd person airplane camera to actually watch left, even when the plane is on the wing? right now it tries to "face the left of the plane" while still remaining horizontal

sterile nova Sep 29, 2020, 8:11 AM

@desert trench there is also possibility to set appid in config for worlds - no idea why its like that but I managed by accident to lock one bludsky terrain behind paywall 😄

desert trench Sep 29, 2020, 8:20 AM

#

true. i am aware - one can allow an editor preview of a DLC terrain when the config value is not set (but only in p3d)

Feature request:
Is it possible to make variables "final"? As in locking them in memory and preventing all changes after they've been initialized?
This is useful when you want mission makers to use a variable from your mod but at the same time prevent them from making unauthorized changes.

#

with a syntax like:

finalize MY_VAR = 1

or

MY_VAR = 1;
lock "MY_VAR"
