_cursor = tolower gettext (_cfgItem >> "cursor");This is the important part

#

cursor = "arifle";

#

🤷‍♀️

sinful kettle
#

seems like a config issue

untold sky
#

there is something string in devbranch, I forgot what it was

desert trench
#

was it this array manipulation for strings?

untold sky
#

something with many strings being combined or smth

#

ah I think it was string insert

sinful kettle
#

Is it a bug that enableSimulation doesn't work on simple objects?
I want to disable the collision geometry of simple objects as well, but it doesn't seem to work:

o = createSimpleObject [typeOf player, eyePos player, true];
o enableSimulation false;
untold sky
#

enableSimulation disables collision? since when?

#

simple objects have no/very simple simulation, thats the whole point of them

sinful kettle
#

don't remember

#

@untold sky btw have you made any changes to object collisions?

#

I'm encountering some seriously weird bugs

untold sky
#

bi

#

no

sinful kettle
#

ok so has anyone made any changes to the getPos command?

#

or maybe ROADWAY lods? or bounding boxes?

#

or anything related to those?

#

is anyone using the stable/profiling branch to test something real quick?

#

Can someone test this command and tell me what it returns for you?

_b = createVehicle ["Land_WIP_F", [0,0,0]];
_b setPosASL [3709.84,841.528,5];
player setPosASL (_b modelToWorldWorld [28.2246,-5.78796,8.22976]);
getPos player select 2
#

normally it should be a very small number (~0.001)
but I get 8.22976

#

oh and test it in VR

#

not some other map

gray wharf
#

8.22976 in perf

sinful kettle
#

well that's weird right?

#

because you're standing on the object, and it has a roadway lod there

gray wharf
#

yep, but move 1m left and it's 0.000xx

sinful kettle
#

now try this:

_b = createVehicle ["Land_WIP_F", [0,0,0]];
//_b setPosASL [3709.84,841.528,5];
player setPosASL (_b modelToWorldWorld [28.2246,-5.78796,8.22976]);
getPos player select 2
gray wharf
#

it's the geo that's weird

sinful kettle
#

the above one should now give the correct result

gray wharf
#

yep

#

0.00143909 if you want to know

sinful kettle
#

@untold sky what's going on here?!

#

I believe that the command is broken
if so, can you fix it please?

gray wharf
#

without creating, try to just move the building around (ofc _b → b)

#

because then, it works

#

yep, even just adding a sleep works

#

wait, no xD

untold sky
#

getPos takes the next ground below you

#

you are probably placing the player INTO the ground

sinful kettle
#

nope

untold sky
#

so the next one below, is the ground below that object

sinful kettle
#

read the code again

#

all I'm changing is the object's position

untold sky
#

float precision?

#

0.00143909
that is 1.4 millimeters of distance.

sinful kettle
#

dunno, but here's the weird thing
the entire "outer" stair case section doesn't have a roadway LOD now

untold sky
#

you are IN the roadway.

sinful kettle
#

it always returns that number

#

when you're standing on the roadway LOD

#

you can try this code:

onEachFrame {hintSilent str (getPos player select 2)}
#

and walk around on that side of the building.
the game doesn't "detect" the roadway LOD

and at some point the player was even falling down thru the floor!

untold sky
#

thats probably a issue with the object then

sinful kettle
#

the object is big, so maybe yeah

untold sky
#

atleast its nothing new, and I wouldn't consider that a bug either

sinful kettle
#

but it's weird that its position affects the result

untold sky
#

if you want to look at the roadway, you can check it out witht he diag drawmode for it

gray wharf
untold sky
#

bigger numbers == less precision

sinful kettle
#

okay, but it removes like 1-2 meters from the right side of the building
that's too much

untold sky
#

roadway and collision have size limits

gray wharf
#

70m right?

untold sky
#

think they both different

sinful kettle
#

it's like this whole side of the building is now gone

📎 sc.png
#

getPos always returns a "large" number (larger than ~0.001)

#

and the player sometimes falls thru the floor

#

it's a really annoying issue

#

also the object doesn't seem to be that big
wasn't it ~70m?

boundingBoxReal obj ->
[[-19.5265,-22.367,-2.65282],[32.5348,20.2824,16.3679],32.9332]
#

the object is around 51 m x 44 m

solid marten
#

I wonder why it says WIP in the name?

raven hollow
#

Because the building is Work In Progress? carlos

sinful kettle
# untold sky bigger numbers == less precision

btw, one thing I forgot to mention is that the position is less that 4000 meters away from the center
and yet we have maps that are way bigger. I imagine things would be way messier on those maps (possibly even happening with smaller objs)

sinful kettle
#

it's really easy to fix

#

also maybe you should support multi line comments /* */ too? (both in debug console and eden)

gray wharf
#

do we want it though 😄

sinful kettle
#

using comments in code is pretty common, so yeah

gray wharf
#

drop the init fields alreadyyy

#

I would be for them to be hidden when empty - backward compatibility, but as soon as you empty them, they're gone

sinful kettle
gray wharf
#

meh-be the debug console, I can give you that.

#

but to compensate, Save As MP Mission is greyed out if any init field is filled 😁

uncut briar
#

They would be ok if they would be server only by default 😄

gray wharf
#

oooh yes.

unborn flame
# gray wharf 70m right?

35m from origin in x or y axis <- but this is just rough value, because it depends on the map. So it could well be that the 32.5 is already too far away for VR map

gray wharf
#

oh, I thought it was engine-related

#

Is there a ticket for the setObjectTextureGlobal bug?

#

This command used to remove all textures on a unit but won't work anymore after 2.0 and I read there is a fix on the way:

#

private _textureIndexUnit = 0;
{_unit setObjectTextureGlobal [_textureIndexUnit,""];_textureIndexUnit=_textureIndexUnit+1} foreach getObjectTextures _unit;

#

Ok I will answer myself, because the fix appears on the Dev Branch Changelog for October 27, 2020. I guess it just hasn't reach main just yet?

#

Fixed: Passing an empty texture to setObjectTextureGlobal would not remove the texture

Anyone knows what Geometry means in the sign>helper>spheres names?

alpine tulip
#

Could assign action

uncut briar
#

Ah.

#

I hoped that it could be used as invisible object that can be shot.

alpine tulip
#

Actually hard to assume the meaning by the name 🙃

daring wagon
#

Is it intended that _ctrlToolbox ctrlEnable false; has no effect on CT_TOOLBAR controls because there is no colorDisabled attribute for them?

sinful kettle
# untold sky no because thats done in preprocessor, and init fields don't have preprocessor

at least the debug console one can be implemented
I believe that's how the debug console works right now.
It just removes // using SQF code (strings with // can't be compiled either, so it removes them somehow). Or is that what CBA does?! 🤔
Anyway, the same can be done for /* */
I can write the code for you if you're too lazy! 😄

Also is there any chance we could get a new preprocessFile syntax like this?

preprocessFileLineNumbers ["code", "path\for\preprocessor\"]

//example:
preprocessFileLineNumbers [
"#include 'defines.hpp'
#define something
/* */
//
", getMissionPath ""];
untold sky
#

"at least the debug console one can be implemented"
in script yeah

#

"Also is there any chance we could get a new preprocessFile syntax like this?" not really

I suppose KK, as Dedmen wants to stay the heck away from SQF ^^

#

is there a FT task already about tweaking the autocombat timeout? the engine default is 5 min or so from what i recall

#

disableAI is very helpful already, but would be useful to also have the option to rely on the engine mechanic but given squads individual behavior time timeout adjustments

#

otherwise one needs to script a system to determine if a squad is in combat and how long since the last engagement

So I just realized that Addon Builder never completely removes the temp folders it makes during the build (or maybe it's the Publisher?)

Hey, I'm wondering what is the priority for duping bugs, nowadays?
They're not really game breaking but can be annoying if you don't do them on purpose 🙃 (and they also cause visual glitches because the backpack is both on you and on the ground).
Plus it's tempting to make use of them, if you know what to do 😕
A guy I know has just received a permaban from a server I play on, yesterday, and judging from his description is looks like he's been doing something that I've reported some time ago: https://feedback.bistudio.com/T150014

Any chance someone could take a look at this? 🙂

untold sky
#

not high priority but I'll look at it maybe in a month or two 😄

sinful kettle
#

@untold sky it seems like hashmaps are semi-broken

# 
_hm = createHashMapFromArray (("true" configClasses configFile) apply {[configName _x, _x]});
_hm get ["blabla", -1]
#

returns something for me! 😄

#

(returns this: bin\config.bin/RscAttributeLock)

#

the funny thing is, it seems like no matter what I search, as long as it's an array I get something

# 
_hm get [];
_hm get [1];
_hm get [player];

meowsweats

untold sky
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

you can try it yourself

untold sky
#

restive bone
#

Btw any chance anyone has a good FT query open at the moment?

sinful kettle
#

well I was wrong!
they're completely broken! 🤣

_hm = createHashMapFromArray (("true" configClasses configFile) apply {[_x, configName _x]});
_hm get 2
#

if the key is anything apart from string (or simply get key and hashmap keys don't match), it always returns wrong results

restive bone
untold sky
#

good that I only tested string

#

AHHHHH

  /// compare keys, return 0 when equal.

  {
    ...
    if (k1.GetType() != k2.GetType()) return false;
    return k1.GetData()->IsEqualTo(k2.GetData()) ? 0 : 1;
  }
#

I blame the programmer that decided 15+ years ago to make a "is equal to" function, that returns a int instead of a bool, and a 0 for equals and 1 for doesn't equal

sinful kettle
#

yeah actually I was gonna ask why not bool! 😄

gray wharf
#

maybe because other values compare (-1, 0, +1)

#

but yeah, here is clearly a boolean

untold sky
#

its traits for hashmap, all its ever used for is to check ==0 on the result
There is no sorting or bigger/smaller compare ever being done.
Maybe it was planned someday :U

gray wharf
#

"back then" yeah

DO YOU NEED HELP DOWN THERE? with all the dust and dead rats 😄

untold sky
#

it returns the first key, in the correct bucket (according to hash) that has a different type of what you requested PogFish

can't repro with small hashmaps, chances are you'll just hit a empty bucket and get correct result 😄

#

is it meaningful to make a FT about TB issues?
like on object import, it just stops on the first object not found in templates - instead it should continue and log the missing

#

aka currently the process is a chore - you have to check the number of imported, compare the line vs object import file to determine which is missing - and repeat this again and again for each undefined object

# tribal rivet Hey, I'm wondering what is the priority for duping bugs, nowadays? They're not r...

Thank you that was fun. Fixed.
if you want the technical, the fallback to ground weapon holder overwrote a "from" variable that had the original container you were taking item from.
It then tried to remove the item (after you took it) from the source container, which is now the ground weapon holder, which doesn't have the item you tried to remove.

So TLDR; programmer reused variable name and didn't notice he was overwriting var that was used later

Is it possible in Arma to have a Vest with integrated backpack so to say, where it makes the backpack slot unusable?

tribal rivet
#

It was annoying to be duping things by mistake. Especially on servers where there is some kind of item economy. I'm then left with two backpacks and a "uuuuhh... now what?" face 😐

untold sky
#

oh bonkers. I didn't even know this was a thing.

You can make a helmet with integrated NVG like so:

class HelmetBase;
class H_IntegratedHelmet: HelmetBase
{
    subItems[] = {"Integrated_NVG_TI_1_F"};
};

We know that.
What i just learned is, you can do the same with vests

class Vest_Camo_Base;
class V_IntegratedVest: Vest_Camo_Base
{
    subItems[] = {"B_Bergen_mcamo_F"};
};

A vest, with integrated backpack sweating

restive bone
#

Huh

untold sky
#

wow I need to try that

restive bone
restive bone
#

Or can I have double backpacks heh

untold sky
#

yes

#

The implementation of that was what introduced the error here.
I was writing in ticket "I don't know why this code does that, because we don't have such functionality in Arma" but no, we do!

uncut briar
#

So can you make an uniform that provides both vest and backpack?

untold sky
#

dunno

#

I only see examples for helmet and vest.
Its in CfgWeapons config

restive bone
untold sky
#

I think not rendered, same as with the helmet with integrated NVG

#

it just inherits the properties of the sub item.
For example radio/compass/gps integrated into helmet lets you use the keys to open up the compass/gps

restive bone
#

So do you have a backpack in the backpack slot and thus the space, or?

#

as in putting the vest on also automatically puts on the backpack

untold sky
#

My arma is launching

restive bone

Now that you fixed the bug, I can ask the guy if that was exactly the thing that he did or not. If not then maybe I'll have more fun stuff for you 😏

:u

gray wharf
#

does my Arma turn into a black hole or what 😄

untold sky
#

you can't pick up the combo vest/backpack.
It can't figure out which slot that mess should go into.

But you can equipt it via script

gray wharf
#

even by drag & drop? funny

untold sky
#

After I took it off after adding it via script, I could drag and drop and wear it again

#

Seems like it just blocks the slot, nothing else

#

backpack player returns ""

#

Add, I added it to vehicle with addWeaponCargo, and that item also has no preview image, so that's probably why I couldn't drag, adding vests with addWeapon == bad

shadow beacon
untold sky
#

Yep. I saw it in the PoC of that feature, but didn't know if it was removed since then.
it wasn't

gray wharf
#

for some suits (e.g ghillie?) preventing backpack usage could make sense

shadow beacon
#

I was aware of the stuff for helmets. Few times we have discussed using it on some headgear in RHS to block the NVG slot for things that don't have a shroud, but it would impact when people use the NVG slot for non-nvg uniform items to add more customisation options

untold sky
#

same as people use the backpack slot for things like a hip belt.

shadow beacon
#

Still wish we could have NVG slot items that didn't have NV/TI modes, but could still switch between the up/down state models

#

Be fun for visors, goggles and shemaghs and things

untold sky
#

imagine if they could be animated and you can use scripted anim source on the player object :U

Think I found the reason for https://feedback.bistudio.com/T155459, excerpt from BIS_fnc_setUnitInsignia:

// --- find insignia index in hidden textures
{
    if (_x == "insignia") exitWith 
    {     
        isNil // --- make it safe in scheduled
        {
            // --- set insignia if not set
            if (_unit call BIS_fnc_getUnitInsignia != _class) then
            {
                _unit setVariable ["BIS_fnc_setUnitInsignia_class", [_class, nil] select (_class isEqualTo ""), true];            
                _unit setObjectMaterialGlobal [_forEachIndex, getText (_cfgInsignia >> "material") call {[_this, DEFAULT_MATERIAL] select (_this isEqualTo "")}];
                _unit setObjectTextureGlobal [_forEachIndex, getText (_cfgInsignia >> "texture") call {[_this, DEFAULT_TEXTURE] select (_this isEqualTo "")}];
                _set = true;
            };
        };
    };
} 
forEach getArray (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> getText (configFile >> "CfgWeapons" >> uniform _unit >> "ItemInfo" >> "uniformClass") >> "hiddenSelections");
``` It doesn't seem to account for a change in the index of the insignia selection after a uniform change, so JIP just assigns the texture to that selection.

You can fix the issue by replacing whatever you use for functions with preprocessFileLineNumbers (it doesn't have this bug)

I'll try to update the ticket so that it makes more sense (seriously tho, it's very easy to fix, even my mod doesn't have this bug)

That's not fixing though but creating a stupid workaround, rendering CfgFunctions useless

sinful kettle

The point is, they can look at what they're doing right in there

untold sky

but its not closed becase I didn't have time to really re-check it

untold sky
sinful kettle
untold sky
#

No

#

its not a preprocessor bug, the preprocessor is not broken.

#

CfgFunctions is preprocessed using preprocessFile, that one is supposed not to remember line numbers.

sinful kettle
#

Well it does show line numbers and it shows them wrong

untold sky
#

yes because it just takes the lines that the preprocessor spits out

#

without special line markers

#

if you want the #line markers, you gotta use preprocessFileLineNumbers

sinful kettle
#

But I want to use cfgFunctions

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

untold sky
#

SQF bytecode will fix that anyway by transitioning CfgFunctions to use compileScript

Does anyone know the reason for the UAVs (tested with the Darter) starting ignoring waypoints and going in circles, until a new order is issued?
Happens in multiplayer and basically means that I have to man my drone manually, all the time, and can't rely on autonomous mode.

If you're looking at this class of things you could try picking a harness from the ground and dragging it into your backpack, while already having a harness (or the like) on you.
For some reason, it will first replace your harness and if you do it again, it will then actually put it into your backpack :thinking:

@daring wagon does it not say anywhere that names should be in quotes?

Also, Eden Editor doesn't need quotes, so this is a bit inconsistent

i guess both formats should be supported in case someone used quotes

@untold sky Feedback: Your fix for text selection doesn't work properly for RscEdit controls in RscControlsGroups

#

(it should get the relative mouse position, not absolute)

#

btw, any chance we could get enums in sqf?

#

I noticed I have to do a lot of this in my mods (for performance reasons, instead of adding hundreds of setVariables, I group them in arrays):

#define SOMETHING 0
#define OTHER_THING 1

_arr#SOMETHING
#

if we could have enums with bytecode optimization it would be great

sinful kettle
#

@untold sky Is it a bug that applying setObjectScale multiple times to an object modifies the last set size (instead of using the original scale like the previous builds)?
e.g:

_obj setObjectScale 2;
_obj setObjectScale 2;
_obj setObjectScale 2;

makes the object 8 times larger

#

to get the size I want I have to do this:

_obj setObjectScale (2/getObjectScale _obj)

but it crashed with include file not found right?

Just to be sure. This should work in .sqf files as it does in .hpp right?

#if __has_include("\userconfig\ENH_Config.hpp")
#include "\userconfig\ENH_Config.hpp"
#endif```
untold sky
#

any preproc yes

#

not sure what .hpp is

#

.hpp doesn't hold any meaning to what it actually is

daring wagon
#

Well, just config

untold sky
#

it can be sqf or config or sqs or a jpg

daring wagon
#

you can also name it .inc if you want

untold sky
#

Maybe i need to test this in config. You should get error popup with description.ext

#

.inc is just as not-saying-anything-about-the-contents-at-all as .hpp is

daring wagon
#

I know.

#

It just happens to be the ending I use

#

so what I mean, it should work in sqf files as in config

#

Okay.

untold sky
#

config vs script preprocessor shouldn't make any difference, as its the exact same preprocessor

#

We only have one

daring wagon
#

Using the code above only in config.cpp works fine, even if the files I want to include does not exist

As soon as I use it in a function which is compiled on start (cfgFunctions) it crashes

Okey. The preprocessor processed the include, because it thought the file exists.....
The value returned by __has_include is.... 1000 KEKW

daring wagon
untold sky
#

I forgot some cleanup.
If the buffer is "0000" before processing the macro, it will be "1000" after, and it reads that as 1000.
In this case shouldn't make difference because 1000 is just as != 0 as 1.
But I guess it can happen that the buffer is "0900" before, which is stil != 0 SharkPresent

@solid marten I guess Structured Text or support for \n in drawIcon3D's text property is not possible?

solid marten
#

structured text no, \n needs parsing, every frame for every icon

#

dunno if good idea

daring wagon
#

Yeah, too bad =/

gray wharf
#

endl mayhaps?

#

as it works for ctrlSetText?

untold sky
#

control multiline rendering is probably different from how DrawIcon3D renders its text

#

yes its different, but the icon drawing code already has built-in support for multiline text.
Just need to parse the icon text and split the lines on endl.
But not very efficient due to how the text is stored, you need to copy each line of text which is big meh.

parsing/finding the \n in the text is easy. But copying/allocating new string for every line on every icon, I don't like that.
Probably won't actually be bad or even noticable, but still.

// Minimum compatible version. When the game's version is lower, pop-up warning will appear when launching the game. (Seems to have no effect in Arma 3 v2.03)
requiredVersion = 1.60;

#

even a simple warning will do

ideally, there should be a requiredVersion thing in mod.cpp as well, so the launcher could warn players already before starting the game. But I guess that's too much work

yup, that's even better

solid marten
sinful kettle
#

I just copied it from that page

I dont understand what was the problem

#

why 2.2 should produce warning? it is clearly > 1.60

sinful kettle

my game is on v2.03

2.03 (game version) < 2.2 (required version) thus it should show a warning

requiredVersion tech has been disabled as it was useless basically

if you need a version check, its to be done via sqf means

Noone runs very outdated Arma and expects new mods to work on it anyway, except the linux user who don't know that proton is a thing, and the mac users.
And new mods use the Loadorder requiredAddons anyway, which will pop you errors as it doesn't exist on that old versions

so we dont spend time investigating pointless matters

just check for __GAME_VER_MIN__

#

you are comparing
200146790 >= 2.00146790

#define GAME_VER __GAME_VER_MAJ__##__GAME_VER_MIN__##__GAME_BUILD__
#if GAME_VER >= 200146790

People from my team have said that they had this happen to them in other slots, on quads, etc...

I wonder if this may be related to slots where you can use the roll [edit: roll axis], with TrackIR (meaning some additional camera functionality is enabled)

restive bone

roll?

tribal rivet
#

check your controls, maybe something attributed to TrackIR zoom?
Oh, and they don't have TrackIR, for the record, for all I know (one has OpenTrack installed but it's not running)
I also have OpenTrack, for the record. Not running it either

Hm why does only the internet tab in the server browser have the filter/refresh buttons?

#

especially the refresh one, filter isnt as important

internet servers are polled from steam

others aren't?

How are the other server retrieved?

I thought that it all was just specific requests to steam, but i've never worked with it so

what else is there?

i wonder if friends autorefreshes?

But ye imo it'd be nice if the other tabs also had the refresh button (if possible), so you dont always have to click on the tab

Okay I just got the zoom in/out bug while playing koth and after dying in a helicopter that got shot to 💩 (Not using the repro procedure posted earlier)

For the record, I couldn't reproduce it either 😦

really, I complained before, and nothing helped, this stamina business is very bad, it doesn't even seem like the character is really a soldier, it looks like a 12 year old asthmatic girl who can't run 100m, horrible, it’s still bad, as I remember he was supposed to be able to run with 30Kg on his back for about 20Km. please, please give a mega buff on this stamina.

daring wagon
#

Is the stamina configured via config or is it hardcoded?

#

I see some stamina mods which run "player disableStamina true" every second. Would be nice if we could tweak it via config.

vocal abyss
#

20 km is just under the distance of a half-marathon, where the world record times are around the one hour mark - but with 0 kg of gear and with daily training.

daring wagon
#

Okay, now I know why folks use player disableStamina true in a loop instead of config

#

Config behaves weird.

untold sky
#

Why loop, shouldn't once be fine?

gray wharf
#

maybe to cover the case where missions enable/disable it

daring wagon
#

Yep

untold sky
#

I run with vanilla stamina disabled too.
We disabled ACEs stamina system because it sometimes bugged out and completely disabled stamina recovery.

But then vanilla one came back, and we suddenly had extreme weapon sway.
Then we disabled vanilla and it was fine for a while, but months later now there are complaints about too much weapon sway every mission again.

daring wagon
#

disableStaminaSystem = 1; In config please 😄

untold sky
#

Yeah man. Description.ext entry too.
That will save quite a bit of performance too. A major part of your local soldier simulation is calculating inventory mass for stamina

Problem is, the weight ingame is not in kg. It's just a number. I am pretty sure 90% of the loadouts ppl use out there are way over 50kg

#

and then they claim the stamina system is stupid

#

Guess the whole problem is that the overall system is not transparent enough for the average player.

# daring wagon disableStaminaSystem = 1; In config please 😄

In tandem to this, there was an old talk with Dedmen about having a similar thing but the for default addActions in the game. For example some mods and scripted solution use the F key for interacting with ladders, doors etc now, even the self heal addAction are made redundant by those mods and scripts yet there is no easy/config way to disable those default addActions

#

It would be a god sent if such thing is added...

# 
class CfgDefaultAddActions
  {
    disableAllDefaultAddActions = 1; //Disable every default addAction.
    disableSelfHealDefaultAddAction = 1; //Disable just the heal addAction when you are wounded.
  }; ```
#

etc etc

daring wagon
#

Good idea. I have always wished we would get a settings menu at some point with checkboxes which allows up to customize what shows in the action menu and what not

#

Well... 😄

uncut briar
#

Lower priority for place and explode explosives would be neat :D

#

Them having such high priority feels so trollish at times. "you wanted to open inventory of that object but the action disappeared and you just placed a mine under your ass? Too bad."

Also not having eject at the top of the list ablobderpy

Can anyone confirm that the Config Viewer is broken? The list on the left lists all entries, but I cannot scroll down far enough to actually select them. I am using dev branch

#

Lower priority for place and explode explosives
can be tweaked easily via config (cfgActions) - to adjust dynamically via sqf would be handy tho

daring wagon
#

can be tweaked easily
That might be true, but I remember ppl complaining about this since Alpha.

#

It's just changing a number in the config. Most likely will not break anything. Just saves some lifes 😄

untold sky
#

any vanilla repro for the config viewer thing?

daring wagon
#

@untold sky The one I mentioned? Just start vanilla Arma 3 on latest dev branch and check the list on the left.

untold sky
#

do you know since when that happens?

#

my list rendering changes were months ago now

daring wagon
#

I haven't been using it for month =/

#

Just noticed it today.

#

Other lists work fine though

#

Perhaps it's time for a new config viewer 😛

untold sky
#

ah config viewer is tree, not list

#

but tree I didn't notice anything wrong

solid marten
untold sky
#

I would like to reimplement config viewer in engine and have it be fast and better.
But just have loooots of better things to do than that 😄

solid marten
#

utils one is millions times faster than old viewer

#

it’s like linux console vs linux gui

untold sky
#

but its also console

#

so no clicking

#

no highlighting of entries and ident to show inheritance and easy view of full parents list and quick fav list of current equipment/vehicle

solid marten
#

you can see the config as engine sees it with all inherited entries in split second

daring wagon
#

While I like Utils 2 for printing config. I don't see it as replacement for the Config Viewer. It's missing the list and favorites. But I guess it comes down to what ppl prefer or are used to.

daring wagon
#

I have a prototype with tree view which can, thanks to the optimisations, handle 190k classes easily.

solid marten
#

nevertheless i’m adding option to return raw entries when I can and able

restive bone
#

Btw is it a known bug that vehicles set to being a simple object will revert to being a normal object?

restive bone
#

Also could someone do me the favour and try reproducing the bug of "Empty" markers being invisible when they're being dragged around in 3den?

desert trench
#

will revert to being a normal object
triggered by what?

restive bone
#

I've had it happen after launching the mission from 3den

solid marten
#

nonsense

finite anvil
#

is there a ticket/are there any plans to adjust getTextWidth and ctrlTextWidth so they work with linebreaks?

restive bone
solid marten
#

can you reproduce it?

#

make sure it says isSimpleObject false

restive bone
#

Sorry I was busy with stuffs for a while so I only got around to fully testing it now
It seems like its fine with vanilla vehicles, but its broken for the mods I've tested (RHS and another one)

  1. Open 3den
  2. Spawn player and vehicle (modded)
  3. Set vehicle to simple object through attributes > special states
  4. Launch mission through 3den
  5. Abort mission
  6. See that vehicle isnt a simple object anymore
solid marten
#

so maybe it doesn’t suddenly become not simple object maybe it never becomes simple object?

restive bone
#

maybe, it gets shown as a simple object before you play the mission though

@finite anvil I think I posted a solution on one of the pages in the note section.

thats weird. That doesn't sound like one of our function names?

Is it intended that B_UAV_06_F (AL-6 Pelican) has all these hitpoints? Looking at the hitpoints one would expect a Battleship, not a small drone.

The Darter on the other hand has none.

#

Let me know if that's worth a ticket, maybe (at) reyhard knows.

fickle root
#

maybe different persons worked on both UAVs

#

it's same for all the vehicles in Arma

#

some have much more hitpoints than others

#

same hoes for buildings, some have much more detailed geometry than others

#

most certainly depends on the person which worked on them

#

I remember A2, where Mi-24 was very vulnerable, compared to Apache/Cobra, only due to the fact Mi-24 simply had much more hitpoints

A3 2.02 Crashes when running YAAB:
-New PC built about 3 weeks ago - been steadily tuning and running benchmarks fairly regularly.
-Been running current settings for about a week.
-Until 2.02 was released, I've not yet had any A3 crashes with this new machine, even with the heavy modpack my unit runs.
-Trying to run benchmarks today after 2.02 has released, about 50% of them crash the game. This is all with the Vanilla game and a variety of 1080p and 1440p runs with standard video settings.

Zipped crashdump is about 15MB. Let me know the best way to get this to the devs

#

Do you think what I said about minimum 2 elements is a good idea?

#

You can have a vector with any size (even 1 or 0), but not sure if it's useful 🤷

[1] vectorAdd [0] //[1]
untold sky
#

it doesn't add any more complexity

desert trench
solid marten
untold sky
#

wouldn't really be slower

#

Either enforce both having same length.
or allow left to be longer, missing elements just stay the same then

solid marten
#

still what is the purpose? If you can doesnt mean you should. We have matrix commands that take arbitrary number of elements already

untold sky
#

I needed a couple times to add two arrays of numbers together.
or to multiply them by a value

#

If we can easily make the commands more useful, why not

solid marten
#

why do you need to modify all vector commands for this?

untold sky
#

Well its convenient if people can just use vector commands instead of a forEach/apply loop

#

and faster too

solid marten
#

arrayMultiply is more clear and no one cares if it going to take ages

untold sky
#

it won't take ages, adding support for arbitrary sized vectors would still be as fast as it currently is

#

Why add a new command to do the same, if we already have a command that does exactly that

solid marten
#

vector commands are for fast operations, when they were added they were vectorAdd [vector, vector] format and were changed to vector vectorAdd vector format, because of performance

untold sky
#

Yes. And as I said, they wouldn't be any slower if you let them use arbitrary sized arrays

solid marten
#

untold sky
#

Yep we can do that then

Baseline:

0.0042 ms

Optimization attempt 1:
[1,2,3] vectorAdd2 [3,2,1]
0.0042 ms

welp. Seems like there's not much to optimize there 😄

[1,2,3,1,2,3] vectorAdd2 [3,2,1,1,2,3]

0.0028ms

[1,2] vectorAdd2 [3,2]
0.0025ms

[1] vectorAdd2 [3]
0.0022ms

Fast enough?

#

I don't see why it would be any slower than 3 element vectorAdd.
As they all do the same thing. Type check on every element, grab float out of every element, allocate results array with float elements.

solid marten
#

and after you make them handle different lengths?

untold sky
#

It already does

#

Ah different, missmatching

solid marten
#

yep and some edge cases like one arg empty or both

untold sky
#

It can only get cheaper though.

#

So shouldn't need to test that

#

[1,2,3] vectorAdd [0,0,0]
0.0031ms
[1,2,3] vectorAdd2 [0,0,0]
0.0031ms
[1,2,3] vectorAdd2 []
0.0026ms
[] vectorAdd []
1.65239ms (throwing error KEKW)
[] vectorAdd2 []
0.0014ms

#

The time add for handling different array lengths is a handful nanoseconds.
Where the time savings for not having to verify the types of now missing array elements is in hundreds nanoseconds.
So it couldn't really be slower.
It adds one if to compare two integers and thats it, which is basically not measurable under the overhead of SQF itself.
