Escape Altis is in missions_f_gamma.pbo No idea about Tanoa or Malden

Ok. I guess I will need to just work through them one by one. Thanks
queen vapor
they might well still be encrypted, i guess
keep in mind the malden PBOs are in the argo folder, not the addons folder
argo > addons > missions_f_patrol.pbo, for example

Need help with the whole _name = worldName script
Can someone join out TS for assistance on that? PM me if you can
@everyone
sinful zenith
Uhm.. _name = worldName is not a script that's one line of potential script. If you need help with a script jump into #arma3_scripting. and don't tag everyone or else everyone will be pissed at you

Cant use the everyone tag or even the here tag unless you are at veteran role

Hey I need some help. I remember finding vehicle animations at the right table of CfgVehicles but there are none.
Does someone know where to find them now?
queen vapor
Arent they a subclass of the vehicle class?
burnt cobalt
oh yeah I found them. Thank you!
Now another question. I got a little cutscene as outro. Is it possible to get some kind of Binocular/Rangefinder overlay effect on the cam from camCreate?
or is it possible to force the outro player(which we are spectating) to use the binocular at a target so the spectator sees trough them?
burnt cobalt
I found something better but thanks!

which mod?

Im trying to setup a mission through Editor, building a small base. When I try to place a Helipad square over an airstrip platform, It goes straight to the ground under it. Ive been trying to raise it but to no avail.
normal sparrow
@sonic grotto what do you mean airstrip platform?
sonic grotto
assets using Props>Structures (Tanoa)>Airport> Airstrip Platform. Its an asset under APEX.
normal sparrow
@sonic grotto is your object snap distance default? You should be able to drag it up and down. Honestly, if all else fails i would increment the z values until you got it correct
sonic grotto
Yeah, not having much luck at all with anything. Im just going to give up on it. Helipad lights will work just fine for me.

Hi. Just wondering if there is a way to change the eden editor key bindings. I am left handed and I use the arrow keys for movement. Would be great if i could change the eden bindings

I think there is a section for Eden in the control settings. If there isn't, try camera/development/buldozer. Can't remember exactly, but it's there.

is there any way I can set an option to ignore certain objects in the eden editor?
queen vapor
what do you mean with ignore certain objects
narrow prairie
so lets say i want to place down a platform
and i place shit on the platform
but sometimes i accidently move the platform and its annoying af
so is there anyway of just plopping the platform in place
queen vapor
you can place it in a layer and disable editing on that layer
they are very small buttons in the left hand panel
narrow prairie
yes thank you lad
gaunt wolf
how do I place helipad square on the carrier deck? when I place the helipad, no sign on the deck.

helipad square is always painted on the terrain, so you can't have it on a ship, building nor platform

@nimble trail thx
stone jetty
Is there any way to make the effect distance of grass cutters any larger? I dont feel like placing dozens of them for a small area a very performance friendly option.
nimble trail
why do you need to delete grass?
maybe you just want to disable grass display when players are in specified area?
(it's a clientside setting)
stone jetty
@nimble trail It's really just for looks that I need to delete the grass.
old island
Anyone experienced a bug in eden that deleted every single map-placed object?
That happend 4x to me now
all i did was test scripts and start/restart the mission all the time and suddenly, without even re-entering eden, all my slots disappeared in the MP screen. went back to editor: all gone.
normal sparrow
No..? Did your mission.sqm get tampered with?
normal sparrow
Hmm. What mods do you have loaded?
old island
none.
normal sparrow
Did any of your scripts stall the scheduler somehow? Crash beforehand?
normal sparrow
Right. Is all of your placed objects still in the mission.sqm?
old island
nah its blank. 1kb file.
normal sparrow
What's the 1kb entry?
old island
no clue its binarized
normal sparrow
Did the editor somehow disable some layers in eden?
old island
layers?
normal sparrow
Yes. The long list of entities on the left hand side, you can sort them into layers instead of filing to root
old island
never touched that
normal sparrow
And disable and enable certain compositions of objects
old island
see i didn't even go back to the editor.
i tested the mission, then changed a script, restarted it in ESC menu, and poof slots gone.
i mean i have backups but its a bit annoying and this happened a couple of times now in the last 2-3 weeks
shrugs and sets his mission.sqm write-only
pseudo pagoda
I've noticed that using the new "Hide Terrain" or "Edit Terrain" modules in the editor that removing the objects doesn't prevent damage from happening. I hid a couple of houses and put a FOB down where they were and then when testing mortar rounds hitting the FOB to see how it would fare suddenly two ruined house foundations appeared. Is there a way to make these map objects have allowDamage set to false? These are terrain objects, not ones I've put down in the editor.
nimble trail
I guess that's something to be reported in a ticket, but I'd suggest you try hiding buildings using "edit terrain" tool instead of "hide" tool
and check if same thing happens
ionic gate
The AI will still climb ladders of invisible building when hidden too
pseudo pagoda
I tried with "edit terrain" but the same thing happened. I did finally workaround it using a marker and a loop the old way you used to have to hide terrain but also added a line to set allowDamage to false in the loop.
delicate python
how do iget planes to fight they just fly off the map

light wadi
Although I probably know the answer is "not really", but is there a way to hide objects in the 3D editor? I know how to hide them when playtesting the mission, but it can get tedious sometimes moving through both "layers" at the same time.
dusk cave
Use the new module hide terrain object from arma @light wadi
nimble trail
nah, I doubt stickie means mapobjects
dusk cave
A know issue, if your building explode, a building destroyed will popup
light wadi
I'm actually like removing every object there is, but it keeps showing in the 3D preview. Unless that is something I haven't fiddled with yet. I'll check the info on anything new.
nimble trail
mapobjects, or mission objects?
dusk cave
Yeah, so use the new module from arma, but like i said, have some issue, because bohemia, i didn't know why didn't tested if a building explode LOL
nimble trail
find houses using nearestObjects command, deleteVehicle them
dusk cave
Yeah but he want to delete it when using 3D editor i think
nimble trail
well then, one can only wait for BI to fix the destruction issue
which can take time, if @pseudo pagoda didn't create an issue ticket we could spam to devs
light wadi
I'll get arma launched and show some examples of what I mean. But I'm convinced I could do this before 3den...
I think I can get around this using Xcam, but well yeah then I'd have to use Xcam... π
dusk cave
Idk what you mean, so i can't reply you
light wadi
No problem, hence why I'm taking some screens to clarify.
nimble trail
there is this new (bugged) tool in eden for hiding objects on map, but it's only hiding one building at a time
(afaik it doesn't support area, but maybe I didn't try it )
light wadi
Yeah, not so much what I need lol :p
dusk cave
It's support area @nimble trail
dusk cave
Yeah, the tool previewing all object hide directly in eden
The problem
if you explode a building inside this area
this will popup a building exploded
Because Bohemia didn't test this "feature" when created it
light wadi
I've had this happen before as well so no biggy.
even with the previous stable method clients with bad connections + hidden buildings and many players = boom boom vehicle π
dusk cave
I don't think, this happens with a module
light wadi
pretty sure I've seen exploding vehicles affect hidden houses before.
as for the why, I have no idea
dusk cave
Yeah but with this new module, never seen this bug
light wadi
^ explains what I meant.
first screens are in 3den, second ones when playtesting the mission in 3den
dusk cave
Yeah, so use new module from last update
like we said you from the first time you asked this question
light wadi
Yeah sure, thanks for repeating. I'm only posting screens I promised.
nimble trail
π
delicate python
would MCC count as editor
nimble trail
seriously though, depending on your situation you might consider using a mission framework that has a better tool for that.
^ like MCC, I guess. Or TMF.
delicate python
MCC is a editor and misson creator
nimble trail
and a framework
light wadi
Have never even heard about TMF. Will check them both out though, as well as the new tool.
delicate python
thanks and what is TMF
nimble trail
tmf is addon based, so players need it as well, but it has a lot of handy tools after you have it set up
(like acre setup UI, visual garrison tool or wave spawner)
delicate python
ok i like MCC cuz can spawn vehilces or infantry when need to or air support etc
only admin can do it unless give access to players
nimble trail
I've seen people do magic with MCC, like a full fledged mission done in 4 minutes while players just waited on spawn
delicate python
yea it can setthem up in like 3
1 min to chose all the right setting you want or what kind missions you want

@pseudo pagoda Thanks
eager rivet
how do I place a waypoint/marker on an a moving object so I can know where it is. at all times
Im trying to make a mission where i can go in an just kill unarmed ai jets, but theyre so tiny and sometimes fly away, so i want to be able to see and know their distance
meager ridge
@eager rivet if you have a task to kill a jet you can use:
["Tsk1",[jet,true]] call BIS_fnc_taskSetDestination;``` to make the task marker position itself on the jet.
if you want a map-marker you could use this in the units init field: (also create a marker named "mkr_jet1")
```sqf
[] spawn {
while {!isNull this} do { "mkr_jet1" setmarkerpos getpos this; sleep 0.5; };
};```
may also want to check if the jet is destroyed and remove the marker

you can then use BIS_fnc_removeRespawnPosition if you want to remove it later

Hi, im working on a terrain and am to the point where I am adding in generic objects, like rocks. I want to use eden to put them all in and then I try to export to terrain builder. I copy the text, put it into a text file and save it. Open terrain builder and import objects like it says in the PMC editing wiki, but tells me that the file is in the wrong format. Is their a templete or something I can use to do this? I want to avoid using buldozer as it's controls are a headache...

quick EDEN question: has anyone experienced an issue where you set a turret's position/altitude/orientation in the editor, but when the mission run it just snaps to the nearest surface and ignores any tweaks you made?

I am making a Zeus mission and I dont want the AI to move. I have used "this disableAI "Move";" in the AI attributes in the Init section and they dont wonder away but they also cant turn around to shoot at enemies behind them. How cna I make the AI turn around while also making them not wonder?
nimble trail
@hollow flame turret as in static MG? They are vehicles, so you can't really bury them in the ground.
What you can do, is to bury another object, and attachTo your turret into it.

empty raft
Could someone pls help a noob with some real basic trigger stuff?
nimble trail
question 101: ask question instead of asking if someone will answer your question π
tell us what's your problem, if anyone will know the answer they will help
empty raft
I didnt wanna junk up the channel if nobody would help π
I have 2 identical tasks set up for each side to "collect" some intel
In the Intel init I have this addAction ["<t color='#FF0000'>Download Data", { deleteVehicle OBJ1; if (side player == west) then { BluTask1 = true; publicVariable "BluTask1"; } else { OpTask1 = true; publicVariable "OpTask1"; };}]
and then in my succeed triggers I have BluTask1/OpTask1 as the condition and the fail triggers using TriggerActivated opposingsidessuccessTrigger
However when one side "downloads" the intel it triggers the succeed and fail trigger at the same time
To clairify, by opposing sides trigger I just mean each sides fail trigger is the opposing sides succeed trigger firing. I have a feeling this is where I am going wrong
nimble trail
not really related, but I'm not sure about this side player thing, it might not work on a dedicated server. Try side (_this select 1) == west
and just to be sure, instead of triggerActivated, try Optask1 for blufor fail and BluTask1 for opfor fail?
empty raft
Hm, this is just a mission for listen servers amongst friends but handy to know, so i'll probably change that later
I'll try that!
nimble trail
I'm not 100% sure on which machine addaction script is running, and _this select 1 will always be the one who called the action
empty raft
Yeah even with _this select it's still triggering a fail
nimble trail
then I'd suggest double checking all conditions
(and this TriggerActivated thing... try switching it to variable, because it's overkill regardless)
empty raft
Yeah i've changed that
is the syntax for the condition literally just Blutask1
or should it be Blutask = true or something
nimble trail
Blutask1 is correct, yes (since it can only take values of true/false)
empty raft
Checked my conditions all over and my code for any spelling errors and no dice
nimble trail
then add debug text in code. for example if you have if () then {} else {} give yourself some output to tell who got into which case
so you can find why it triggers multiple times
grim nexus
if im not wrong, the trigger is repeatable and will execute upon its activation
if the condition results true, the trigger will get activated and execute your code

It's more fun if you have it setHit on the engine of the helicopter after a few seconds so that the blades start to move and then stop (and you can setHit it back to green when a real pilot starts the engine again).

I would like to try and set up a system that when someone gets in an attack helicopter (not a scout or transport heli) that it does a check of some sort on the player and kicks them out if they aren't using B_helipilot_F, O_helipilot_F, they get kicked out using the MoveOut function

You can however get access to the mission's SQM from SQF by doing this kind of thing while the mission is running:
private _header = getMissionConfig "Header";
if (count _header == 0) exitWith
{
diag_log "khi_paging: The mission configuration entry could not be found.";
};
private _root = configHierarchy _header select 0;
private _mission = _root >> "Mission";
And any SQF's that the SQM might refer to should be visible to loadFile.

thanks guys. @hardy crag i have no idea what you just said π

(Someone that knows SQF well could extract the mission even though it's encrypted using the code above as a starting point)

would it be safer to make a composition from all those objects, and load that?

I also noticed a very freeze when I double click a vehicle in the editor for the first time in that session. I have RHS installed and I guess the great amount of vehicles make the game go crazy for little while.

it's "normal" - each time you open attributes, game checks mod for additional menu items that are in the mod
probably only way around it would be to make editor start longer and use more memory (load up all this information beforehand)

I'm having an issue with using a story character in a mission (Solomon Maru), every time I put something, doesn't matter what, in the init for that unit his face changes from Solomon to another Caucasian face ... any ideas?
marble aurora
any suggestions on the above issue? At this point I'm sure that it's a bug and I'll check for open reports later, but until we have a fix, what are the workarounds?
nimble trail
it might be that Maru has weird init field set in config, to add the face
so you might be overwriting it. try adding the face in the init field amongs the stuff you're doing
marble aurora
thanks, figured I might have to end up doing that, will have to dig into the config to find the correct face
I can also move that stuff out of his init and just reference him in an external script
nimble trail
if you place maru in the editor, in the right-click menu you'll have "open in config viewer" option
check for custom init fields there

It had a built in tutorial too, I think on the top right it there's a hat icon
Once you go through that it shouldn't be difficult
paper cipher
yup already went through that, looking for some more high tech stuff now.
marble folio
Hmm probably have to be more specific I guess...
Most of the time I just look up something particular I'm trying to do
normal sparrow
@paper cipher What do you mean by more high tech stuff?
And what have you already learned exactly?
paper cipher
high tech as in advanced stuff, I did couple of basic quick missions, placed groups down, waypoints and stuff, seems pretty straightforward coming from the 2D editor experience. but dunno, I just dont know what advanced stuff is there.
the eden-in-game tutorials were actually pretty decent.
but then again... advanced mission making is done with sqf π
marble folio
yeah, that's pretty much what i was thinking too (re: SQF)
I don't know of anything that's more "advanced" than the 2D editor
it's just different in some cases
paper cipher
also my attitude has been pretty bad towards eden, back in the early(ish) days I tried it out and it didnt work for the simplest of things, cant remember what it was but some basic trigger or init line or like DOH obvious simple stuff. ever since then I've been just using 2D editor but now I realized the trigger part is broken, they are all mixed up in 2d and mission.sqm, kind of hilarious actually. so now I'm forced to move on and accept eden for the good or bad it is π
going through the tutorial and checking it out a bit, there are few things I really like, play menu is nice with the MP option, also the spectate and play here things are pretty neat. few other things I saw in tutorial too that were "Oh, nice!".
marble aurora
you know about stuff like right click on an ammo box and you can edit the content etc?
not sure if that was in the post-Eden 2d editor
paper cipher
tutorial explained attributes, didnt specifically know you can edit weapons/gear, nice.
marble aurora
lots of little things like that which can make life easier, less scripting to get what you want
I'm still finding stuff regularly
marble folio
yeah with eden it's basically "read all the menus, and you'll find surprises there"
So for example the file menu has useful shortcuts to open the log folder or scenario folder
or right click unit/group -> transform menu is useful
or drag and drop placement of crew/passengers
paper cipher
I also asked for good tutorials as overall reference, was thinking that as I'm a eden newbie and learning stuff I would write everything down and put into PMC Editing Wiki as beginner mission editing / eden tutorial.
marble folio
and well, "sync" is now "sync" and "set waypoint activation"
marble aurora
I do wish compositions worked just a bit better, the way things fall apart with Terrain and altitude changes is annoying
marble folio
honestly i think you'll be fine, we all transitioned fairly well from 2D to 3D
most of my learning has been demand driven or accidental
be warned though, some stuff with the init order seems to have changed between both formats
paper cipher
ok first real world question: do you guys write author, mission description and preview image info into eden or in description.ext?
marble folio
So for example F3's preMount component doesn't work (as it was set up before) for converted missions, apparently does for fresh 3D missions (we're still investigating the latter)
^^eden
onLoadName still has to be done via description.ext though
normal sparrow
@paper cipher Yes, just for consistancy.
paper cipher
also eden defaults the author name field to some... dunno what name, from steam? any ideas? and can that be set in-eden to what you prefer?
normal sparrow
Just because i'm so used to the 2d editor, and i rarely trust the eden editor
author=""; in your description.ext
marble folio
you can overwrite the author from eden too
it doesn't matter really, you can use either eden or descriptions.ext
latter takes preference over the sqm (i.e. eden)
paper cipher
I mean when you write something to eden author, then create new mission it defaults to that original name (I have to guess by the name it uses for me its from steam).
marble folio
Β―_(γ)_/Β―
In the F3 template, we save it with a placeholder, and everyone who edits the mission sees the placeholder
so it's possible it does that with blank missions
haven't actually noticed it (since i mostly just make MP missions with F3)
normal sparrow
@marble folio F3 template?
@paper cipher Oh and currently there is a bug where if you have too long of a load message it defaults to unnamed mission l
So remember that
paper cipher
heh roger that.
paper cipher
what about mission merging, like when you use templates, mine usually are in lower left corner because thats the same for any terrain, in 2d editor you could merge any mission from any terrain, but what I tested in eden... it only allows to merge missions from the current terrain youre at. how do you guys merge mission templates?
marble folio
@paper cipher just select all, copy, "paste in position" (right click -> edit)
There's no merge afaik
paper cipher
hmm there is, isnt it in file menu (dont have arma3 open to check now).
paper cipher
yeah that only works for the current terrain, all others are greyed out.
normal sparrow
@marble folio You can merge another mission into another mission
It's just a couple of button clicks
marble folio
@normal sparrow "unnamed mission" shouldn't happen with onLoadName
normal sparrow
@marble folio iirc it's with an overViewText one
marble folio
I knew about the merging thing of 2D editor
Oh I don't know about that then, haven't seen it happen yet
Also F3 mission making template
Google it :p
normal sparrow
Fuck that
marble folio
On phone can't link
paper cipher
I meant just editor merging, not file copy pasting template directory as new mission or into existing mission dir.
normal sparrow
Yeah no i hate templates
marble folio
You asked, I answered π€·
normal sparrow
@marble folio Well you keep talking about and i was expecting "oohhh..Its got a sexy sqf linter"
cobalt cloak
Just noticed an option in a building's init to lock or unlock doors (buildings placed in the editor). Is there a vanilla way to breach, break, pick, ect those doors or are they just locked with no entry possible?
paper cipher
when importing mission to eden (old 2d editor mission.sqm format) and if there are some classes missing from your currently loaded addons... eden just simply deletes this entity. anyone know if this is by design like have devs mentioned it, or a bug?
marble folio
@cobalt cloak just locked, afaik.
nimble trail
@paper cipher sadly, unlike 2d editor defaulting to infantry unit on set side, it's what 3d editor does
paper cipher
yup just gotta be careful not to import incompatible mission.sqm's π
I'm rotating mine through 2d first and powergrep them to replace all old class names.
paper cipher
seems like for markers eden will complain about missing class but does not delete it, just leaves type out so its easy to see from entities -> markers list without icon.
marble aurora
@cobalt cloak https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmDhS4QiGoo
of course, it depends what you mean by vanilla, if you mean with no scripting, then no, they are permanently and irrevocably locked
short of bringing down the whole building
floral pine
i dont own laws of war but im seeing alot of it in the editor. is that free stuff?
sinful zenith
Yeah
You have to own it to play the campaign or drive the new Van. But the rest is free
floral pine
nice, alwsys wanted to put in some aid in my post war, war
nimble trail
same with clothing - no cowboy hat for you
sinful zenith
Well you can atleast somewhat use the clothing
marble aurora
cowboy hat?
nimble trail

marble aurora
ah, I thought I'd missed a proper Stetson style hat π
or whatever they wear in Texas
marble folio
they wear guns in texas

nimble trail

marble aurora
not particularly useful to be carrying them either, at least not in the continental US, it's not a warzone after all
@nimble trail They would not be pleased when I spike their barrel
paper cipher
when you do play -> play in multiplayer, it starts a hosted server. after the first run it switches that bottom right corner button to play scenario in multiplayer. what I understood from the tutorial is that the hosted server runs on the background.
I started it on LAN obviously. but if one would start it normally for online users... would it really run there as long as you stay in eden or is it just for duration you actually run that first specific play->MP mission?
drifting mango
I'd assume it keeps running as long as Eden is up, since you get a confirmation window when you chose to play in single player again, asking you if you're sure you want to close your server.
I've never gotten an editor hosted session to work online though, so I can't confirm.
cobalt cloak
Using empty markers to sync to objects to "Set Random Start" is good for random starts level with the ground. Any way to use those markers for higher levels? Like in the second floor of a building?
normal sparrow
@cobalt cloak No, you'll need to get a position format in an x,y,z. Markers are only 2D being that they only have values on x,y Z will always remain zero
so getPosATL (get position above terrain level)
getPosASL (getposition above sea level)
will be the most useful for you
so, something like this would be a good solution:
if(random 100 > 50) then
{
//your spawn code here
_myCoolUnitDude setPosATL (getPosATL _aBuildingToHideIn);
}:
Is there a way to use it to randomly choose between a few different positions? Basically trying to randomize the location of an objective like a bomb, HVT, hostage, weapons cache, ect.
normal sparrow
@cobalt cloak Sure, just store them in an array
private _positions = [[0,0,0],[0,0,0]];
if(random 100 > 50) then
{
_myCoolUnitDude setPosATL selectRandom _positions;
};
Cool, thanks
lunar hedge
I want to go back in time in a map, and erase modern stuff and make it look more ww2. Is it better to use "edit terrain" (each individual) or "hide terrain" (wide coverage) modules? Going to be a online MP mission, and Im worried about lag. I know there is a "hide locally" on the hide terrain module.
paper cipher
in-game arma3 you can draw "markers" into mapview (M), is it possible to draw in eden?
I like to make campaign mission manuscripts by drawing into map image (jpg/png) to keep track which areas have been covered etc, but this would be cool to do in eden, especially as it now has layers.
nimble trail
afaik it's possible to add custom markers to your mission
apparently you can hack it, by adding your markers in paa format to your mission project, and using drawIcon command to display it on the map:
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/drawIcon
paper cipher
ah okay, thanks, will look into that. but I just meant to use in eden not to create actual mission. that "manuscript" is just for reference where each mission takes place.
nimble trail
afaik you can't create hand-drawn markers in editor
ah wait
you can add comments in editor
paper cipher
btw yesterday I made my first real mission in eden, with briefing, tasks and ending triggers. it was surprisingly easy to keep everything in eden / mission.sqm.
nimble trail
in right-click menu
paper cipher
hmm comments. okay comments are nice to add well comments/notes and mark locations, but its not exactly what I'm after.
paper cipher
here is arma(1) era campaign manuscript plan for one mission, I'm after doing this kind of chicken finger design drawings for friendly (blue) and enemy (red) forces: https://www.pmctactical.org/20-map.jpg
hmm although I could use eden comments to just make friendly forces starting and target locations, then the title/tooltips would explain it in detail which path the troops would take. hmm something like that. still nothing beats those chicken fingaz to give clear idea the mission area/paths/design.
paper cipher
shame there is no way to "go here" F on selected object on map view, only in 3D.
inland sentinel
so in the editor i have a few backpacks put down on a table near some other obj for players to pick up, however when the mission starts they change possition so that there is "space" for them to be picked up
i would like to prevent this as it throws them out 5m behind them
i havent ecountered this problem before and a solution I was thinking is to just move them to an invis obj and set the dif xyz for rotation but would rather not do this
so in other words am i missing somthing or would i have to do the above
inland sentinel
?
sinful zenith
You place the raw backpack in Eden. But as soon as you go ingame it places it into a weaponHolder which offsets it's position. I just gave up trying to work around it
paper cipher
eden allows play -> play in multiplayer option to be used for missions loaded from Missions directory, odd. why make Missions and MPMissions then, why not just one, why not allow missions to be read in any dir on your username dir.
nimble trail
it's because old editor needed this distinction, and there was quite a long transition time
inland sentinel
@sinful zenith gotcha thanks

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using mission file binarization?
nimble trail
in theory it loads faster (not much faster, though), but on the other hand you can't use text editor to look into your file
the question stands, if you ever need to look into your files, though
mental pelican
Binarized is tiny bit larger.
sinful zenith
It is binarized. "class" is 5 bytes. In binarized it's just 1. No whitespace whatsoever. No newlines. It being bigger doesn't make sense at all
mental pelican
Oops, yes my mistake. I had it backwards.
An example mission.sqm size difference:
binarized - 352 KB (360,448 bytes)
not binarized - 508 KB (520,192 bytes)
opaque token
Such a wonky binarization
nimble trail
well, we're talking about a lot of text here
one could argue if eden should save everything as text, of course
dim kindle
@nimble trail if you have a need to look into it, you can always unbinarize using CfgConvert in A3Tools
And vise versa

hey all, new here. also new to editng in Eden, but published my first mission. just looking for help in how to use it from my workshop???
drifting mango
Are you asking how to load your scenario? Just subscribe to it and it should appear in the mission list once you start singleplayer/multiplayer depending on your scenario type.
main dirge
@SageNTitled#1410 thanks, do I just invite others to join my game then? Very Noob of me. Iβve set it up as a multiplayer with Zeus
marble folio
Multiplayer > Host server > select internet or whatever > select your mission from the list > wait in the lobby for people to connect
nimble trail
basically, you don't need to publish your mission on workshop for your friends to play with you. if you host a server, other download the mission from your computer on start
main dirge
@marble folio @nimble trail cheers guys will have a look at that later once Iβve finished work. Do I need to pay for a server? I use to for when I was hosting CS
nimble trail
Provided that your router allows that (might require you to forward ports to your pc: 2302, 2303, 2304), you can just start a server on your own computer in the multiplayer menu (Host button in the corner, iirc)
marble folio
Yeah, you can set up a dedicated server on your own machine too, if you need to
Otherwise just self host
normal sparrow
You have to remember though, locality gets weird as the server is the same client as the host and could cause problems. If you have an extra pc laying around somewhere or you have room on your own pc. I recommend setting up a dedicated server
marble folio
Eh?
Locality is only different for the host
for clients the same rules apply as connecting to a dedi
But yeah if there are scripts and stuff running then probably good to keep that in mind
normal sparrow
@marble folio Yes that is what i am trying to say
main dirge
@normal sparrow @marble folio perfect, you know any good places that i can learn how to do that. I have a very high spec PC with a Super fast network

nimble trail
best you can do is enable snap to grid, disable terrain following and hope for the best
marble aurora
It would be nice if there was a toggable no-clip for Eden, it would make placing objects against each other but not overlapping much easier. Definitely one for the wishlist
When I first read the question I thought he meant attachTo and there also it would be nice to have some support for that in the editor so it's less trial and error

m having issues with my support modules. i have two, transport and supply drop. im having different issues with each. with the transport sometimes it doesn't go back to base and sometimes when it is back at base i can't call it again. After some time goes by then i can call it. supply drop doesn't always go back to base and sometime even after it drops supplies the marker stays on the map. also i cant call it sometimes after i already have.
sorry if i posted this in the wrong channel, not sure which to put it in.
paper cipher
when you are in multiplayer lobby to select player slot / role, in my understanding the list is generated in what order the units are placed in eden editor.
is there any way to change this order in which the slots/roles appear in MP lobby without deleting and creating the units in the order you want?
normal sparrow
Afaik no
paper cipher
pisses me off as I have few missions which are meant to be played (by me, alone, hehe) in specific role, but I made the other units playable "just because" as well and now the unit I want to play in, is somewhere in the middle and have to scroll the list like crazy to find it π
normal sparrow
Do they each have a role name?
paper cipher
nope
marble folio
@paper cipher the easier way is to delete and undo.
that unit/group will now appear at the bottom
paper cipher
oh really, hmm interesting.
normal sparrow
I wish there was something other than the above
Maybe we can all petition commy to modify his group lobby name thingy to allow sorting
sick ginkgo
What determines whether a map marker will overlay another one or not?
Because I want a marker to be in front of another one, but I cant figure out how
nimble trail
iirc there's no z-index for markers, so it's just like with slots in multiplayer - last in is on top (or maybe on the bottom?)
so deleting one, then undoing it will change the order
sick ginkgo
Legend, thank you
Just gave that a go, doesn't seem to be how it works though. Perhaps its based on its name, alphabetical or something
Managed to get it working by putting them in 2 separate folders and having one below the other, kinda confusing but it might be what you meant with what you said
nimble trail
hmm... interesting. but yeah - alphabetical order might also be something to tests

goal: i want to create a air taxi service (air vehicles with godmode on, bcs. people like destroy copters randomly) on an altis server. problem: userbase thinks, the taxi pilot will spot players in fights and then help his friends.. question: how to prevent this?
queen vapor
set his behaviour to careful, and make him a civilian dressed up as a pilot?
mental pelican
Civilians are to stupid to fly decently. Pilot classes are one of the highest intelligence in arma cuz it takes skills. why not just allow damage false on the chopper?
and set careless
dim kindle
the pilot is a human
there is no A.I
damage false, that is what i want, but the users cry if i tell them that. because as i said, in fights, the taxi pilot could fly whole time over a fight area and exploit locations of enemies
@queen vapor @mental pelican
queen vapor
dont let them fly a helicopter if they do that?
dim kindle
but whom can you trust? o.o
we also have police and fire department who fly air vehicles and help spotting enemies for their friends in fights... which is not good..
queen vapor
idk seems more like a server moderation issue to me
not something where scripting is the way to go about it at least
dim kindle
is it not possible to make a script which doesnt allow a user to fly into location x,y?
queen vapor
oh yes - but you would also need a script to make these locations everytime a firefight breaks out
dim kindle
the server already has something which shows you current fight areas
queen vapor
sure, but now players can prevent a helicopter from coming over by firing their weapons
either way, youd use a command lie inArea to figure out if the helicopter is too near
display a hint or lightning bolt them
something like that
last aurora
You could create triggers that activate When only the Pilot is activating it. You then could activate a script that sends a warning to the pilot for accessing restricted area which will lead to a vehicles destruction after time X

Hmm i'm trying to work out the support provider modhules, do I sync support requester to an infantry unit and sync the correct modhule to the correct vehicles and it should work?
paper cipher
yep pretty much like that.
when I discovered the transport helicopter support I was really excited, but unfortunately due AI being what it is, usually the helo lands like half a click (minimum) of where you call it.
vale cove
Yeah i think it depends on where you call it. i think the best spots are the more open fields.
marble folio
Placing invisible helipads around the intended area should help it too
paper cipher
well yes, but the whole idea of transport module is that you can call where ever you want to pick you up and take you again where ever you want, that is the modules strength. at least in my missions there is no way to know where my next start/end points will be, so cant really place helihemptys around.
paper cipher
so there I was editing missions
paper cipher
and realized that sub dirs work, but only when there are actual mission directories inside. like if you make "MPMissions\MyTest" dir without anything in it, nothing shows up in eden, but if you copy missions there, then that sub dir and the missions inside show up. guess its pretty cool to keep the open mission menu clean of non-mission sub dirs.
pastel tapir
Guys, I'm urgently fixing a bug spotted in my RC version of my mod, which will be released for the Spanish ChampionShip this thruesday. My helicopter have dynamic components where you can hide or unhide, like seats and turrets, as you may think, those seats should be locked when sets are hidden. OnPhaseAnimaton parameter under animationSource lock them via LockTurret/LockCargo and also in init parameter unit it checks if there is some animationSource hidden and lock those slots.
But the way initialization order works, those commands are being called after mission start and not before 3DEN space, so you can load those units into hidden seats. M-900 vanilla happens the same, you hide the back seats but you can keep load units on them.
So, question is, there is any way to prevent loading a unit at a specific slot cargo of an helicopter inside 3DEN?
I think the approach will be mod 3DEN to catch changes in the helicopter and check all animationSource and deleteUnits action is perfomed inside 3DEN when a unit is loaded at hidden seat
Someone have tried this?

You didn't really say at all what the issue was though. But all you showed was a script.
Doesn't matter. If it's not clear then ask
Not knowing better is no excuse for a rule violation
"Oops I killed my neighbor by sticking a Knife into his heart because my mother told me to put the knife away and it wasn't clear to me what to do"
No
as is yours. If you don't know take the catch-all #arma3_questions and get redirected to the proper channel if someone knows.
Or otherwise decide for one channel and hope someone who knows about that will read it.
Rules are rules. You can't just decide to break them because you don't know any better. That's not how rules work.

IMHO there is not even a need for this discussion. It started because of a polite hint about a rule violation a week ago that right now everyone already forgot about.
I said everything that needed to be said aka "Not knowing is not a excuse for a rule violation". And there is no further need to discuss that.
So I would suggest to also forget about it. You didn't get a warning or anything for what you did last week. No one even noticed and no one cared.

Anyone know why "this engineOn true;" isn't working? my helicopter just keeps falling out of the sky.

its not high enough?
when I started with eden and aircrafts, it was the first thing I noticed, placed them nicely but engine didnt engage, had to increase the altitude quite much before it did.
nimble trail
yes - placing them in air is eden's way of doing this
as opposed to 2d editors "start in air" option
paper cipher
when I place my vehicles, like tanks and cars, into flat virtual reality (.VR) terrain and then copy the mission PBO into another terrain, like lets say takistan or whatever, all characters are on the ground fine but the vehicles are in their original elevation, ie in this case underground. are there any option in eden for mission.sqm to prevent this, that vehicles would snap into terrain level no matter what it will be?
hardy crag
Can you use user compositions? They automatically conform to the ground.
paper cipher
I've heard about them but never used.
hardy crag
There's elevation options when you save the composition: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Eden_Editor:_Custom_Composition
paper cipher
this is not even a problem on 2D editor saved mission.sqm but it only happens if you import mission to new eden mission.sqm format. I guess it hardens the Z value thingy or something.
hmm but these are just like CUP M1A1 tank platoon group, not empty objects (but like said I've just heard about compositions dont know anything about them).
when I place infantry group they appear normally on the terrain, but when its HMMWV or tank or other vehicle, they dont (I assume they are below ground heh).
hardy crag
It should work for those too.
Also you can select all the objects and do a single click to align and snap them to the terrain too.
paper cipher
yep did couple of mission merges and had to fix their elevation like that. however that is not possible when copying the mission PBO into another terrain. like copy myMission.VR.pbo myMission.Chernarus.pbo for example.
normal sparrow
How does merge fair with this issue?
marble folio
@paper cipher select all, right click on a unit (not a group), transform, snap to surface (or something like that)
oh shit ianbans said that too
lol
normal sparrow
Well shit. Time to get off discord now
paper cipher
when doing the merge mission the vehicles, cant remember if characters as well, will float. didnt do many of those yet but got some floaters when I did.
not sure if it was just my terrain choices that would they also bury underground depending on the elevations in original file and imported terrain. obviously you need to again copy the mission DIR from vr into whatever terrain youre importing them. stupid ass eden as it dont have any of the cool features old 2d editor has.
dunno maybe I'll just keep these "copy pbo" missions in 2d editor as that solves it.
nimble trail
I think that if you copy multiple units with snap to ground enabled, and wiggle them around, they will snap to the ground
or at least it happens to units that are underground
paper cipher
unrelated to my previous question but, just tested compositions, pretty cool feature that you can CTRL-LMB stamp them around like that.
nimble trail
one thing I noticed, is it might have issues with vertical position unless you create compositions on ideally flat surface (that is in VR map)
paper cipher
does that matter if I dont do any fancy elevating of them, just place and be happy?
nimble trail
no, it only happens if your composition has eg. ammo crates on tables, etc.
paper cipher
yup, good.
I just placed building, walls, trash objects and was done. no fancy stuff π
nimble trail
well, at least you have a chance of getting your missions done
(instead of writing a script that'd populate random books on furniture, because that's important for immersion)
paper cipher
nope, as I said, unrelated to my previous question.
ianbanks comments about compositions just made me finally try them out π
compositions interest me on terrain dev'ing in mind, eden is a bit cumbersome to build them, but seems like once you get them done, its quite nice to click point and stamp them around. will have to try to build some and then make small town out of them.
are there any composition sharing community action going on?

Hi guys ! I start to go crazy with the object attribute to define which door is open / closed / locked.
On Eden no problem, if I put a locked door, it is locked, but from the moment the same map (exactly the same) is on my server, the attribute does not seem to work anymore. All doors that I locked are no longer locked.
Has anyone ever experienced the same problem?
Here's a video to understand : http://plays.tv/video/5a933266ddb9b1a3aa/arma-doors
marble folio
sounds like a locality issue...
marble aurora
@noble coral There is an option to repeat along a path, useful for placing walls, fences and other fairly linear features quickly. I've not actually used it, but it was added along with Malden as BI created it to make placing their vineyards easier
it's not the same as snapping objects together, but since most of the time you're doing that sort of thing, it's to build barriers I just though it might be of interest
noble coral
@marble aurora how do you use that option? Didn't notice anything new lately.
marble aurora
Trying to find the OpRep/Blog post/Forum/Twitter post where they introduced it, of course it would be easier if I could remember which of those mediums was used
noble coral
no rush, thanks for helping out
gilded yew
@noble coral I'm using CTRL+C and CTRL+Shift+V to duplicate the object/wall on the same place and move it on the side to align it
noble coral
me too, was wondering if there was an easier method
marble aurora
ok, took me a while but I found what I was looking for in the Argo blog ... doh! So it sounds like what BI added was for the Terrain Editor, "Our first vineyard between Cancon and Chapoi. We now have a nice Terrain Processor module to plant the rows for us, soon to appear in the public tools." and not Eden π¦
iirc there was a video or similar showing it being used, but since it's not for the Eden editor, but for terrain makers, I'll not waste my time trying to find that
definitely one for the feature requests list then, if they've already implemented for the Terrain Editor, can't be that difficult to do the same for the Eden Editor
noble coral
alright

is it possible to manually place a texture in the locations currently used for unit logos on vehicles? For singleplayer scenarios I'd really like to be able to place fictional faction insignias on the vehicles but I'm not finding any relevant scripting commands or references on this topic

@marble aurora I believe the unit logo on the side is a part of the model and is set by the game. Not sure if it's a part of the vehicle selections. You'll have to check
marble aurora
it's not a hidden selection that I can tell, unless they are hidden, hidden selections π

you'd probably have to change selectionClan = "clan"; to something else so that the game doesn't try to hide the selection, and then add clan to the hiddenSelections[] array

camping light (on) and the portable lights should both work ...camping light is actually too bright

you can technically make them work in the editor, by a bit of a script magic

Quick question, the "simple object" option on items that emit light (i.e. simulated) - does simple object disable simulation of the object too?

@fiery crane it doesn't "disable simulation", it actually creates another object (deleting the previous one) based on the p3d (and sometimes a bit of config)
So simpleObjects cannot (afaik) emit light

you can re-add something like that with a "simple" mod
that just does the simple object stuff via script

if BI were to release their script/mission to create the code, including all the parameters, this wouldnt have been an issue in the first place. yet for BI modding is only an afterthought at best
