Personally I find this a bad practice.

#

0 and 1 should be used for "bools" in the config.

#

Config does not have a boolean type and we should not try to emulate it.

true fossil
#

And if you really don't want them, you can exclude them using hemtt as outlined on the page linked above

opal crater
#

Binarization is used for models.

true fossil
#

Don't you binarize configs as well?

#

Or is it the option "binarize"?

opal crater
#

You want to disable rapify if you want the game to handle your config parsing.

true fossil
#

Gotcha, always get those confused

opal crater
#

Binarization is what bis binarise.exe does to models to turn them into ODOL

#

Rapification is the process of turning plain text configs into binary format (.bin)

tulip escarp
#

unfortunately I submitted an issue because that exact feature isn't working (rapify enabled = false) and the response was "not planned - why would you want to do that anyways?" so I am using something different. As an aside, I made a small addon to test all this and I am coming up with some WEIRD results. I have to go through and make sure all my tests on the test addon and my regular addon do not have any typos, weird loop gotchas, etc.. but there is definitely something weird as my test addon and my reg addon show issues but completely different results. I will post if it's something in Arma but, it very well could just be me in the end. cc:@hard chasm Thanks for all your help.

@opal crater>0 and 1 should be used for "bools" in the config.
I have t agree due to the confusion surrounding them, and, with sqX having it's own version to confuse things further.

anyone able to help me understand how to fixs the following errors No entry "bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/complexGearbox.scope". and No entry "bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/complexGearbox.side

wheat sluice
#

Perhaps you're trying to reference a class in CfgVehicles that doesn't exist? Without your full config there's no way for anyone to tell.

orchid heath
#

i dont have a Cfg Vehicles

#

thats the only file i have that has complexGearbox in it

cloud saddle
#

..which is part of CfgVehicles.

wheat sluice
#

^ as above. You're doing the PhysX configuration which is located in CfgVehicles.

#

That's not your full config either, just a snippet from a header file. Post the entire thing.

orchid heath

@hard chasm - found the bug causing my problems. it was the 'rapifying' or config.bin from HEMTT causing my issues. Not an Arma bug. It was only resolved once ALL my addons and optionals did not 'rapify' their configs. I was testing only repackaging main until today. ~~As I mentioned in linked post, HEMTT dev command doesn't seem to adhere to their documentation ~~([rapify] enabled = false causes no difference in result) so I am moving back to using your tools. I hate retooling but, it's very important for my development that I control whether 'rapifying' is enabled or not during debug testing. Again, thanks. Edit: Found out I am spreading falsehoods. I just read above it has to be in addon.toml and cant be enabled globally via project.toml - my apologies to HEMTT team - I will do this and continue using them for certain things

tulip escarp
#

Thought: Shouldn't FilePatching fix this anyways by looking at the dev folder? Or is FilePatching only relevant after loading the config files? (I am so confused πŸ˜„ )

austere prism
#

You could also solve this using __EVAL and an optional addon, preventing the macro issues altogether, and without disabling HEMTT's rapify and config checks

tulip escarp
austere prism
#

I will send you what I mean in a minute here

#

basically,

#define DEBUG_MODE __EVAL(parseNumber isClass (configFile >> "CfgPatches" >> "eval_with_optional_debug"))

When you load the optional, it's 1, without it, 0. It uses __EVAL, so there will be a very small performance penalty at game launch, but having all the config rapified should make up for it in exchange

tulip escarp
#

Ahhhhhh... yes, I have a parsing function with which this idea fits perfectly. Excellent. Thank you.

#

So basically move this debug logic into the function instead of trying to modify the confg itself... like a functional override. Yes, this works easily

austere prism
#

I wasn't asking why you were trying that because I thought you were crazy or something lol, I wanted to get around the The XY Problem. https://xyproblem.info/. Helping you with your root problem rather than what you have come up with for the solution

tulip escarp
#

The if - then - else vs. array select (true/fale) warning... it shows up even when the array select (true/false) is not possible. i.e. when the two results are code that needs to be evaluated after the condition for perf reasons.

austere prism
#

It's been disabled in the upcoming version until type checking is ready to support it properly

tulip escarp
#

ok, it wasnt producing any issue. I just keep telling it politely to the screen "I cant do that" lol

austere prism
#

Although it should work fine in that case if I undestand correctly, and it should only show the advice when it's a single value in the blocks

#

Can you send me an example of when it is showing it when you don't think is should?

#

Also nevermind, that one isn't disabled, a different one is

#

the parseNumber one is what was showing up when it shouldn't

tulip escarp
#

I have it open so I will see if I can take a screen shot

#

ok, I am wrong and you are way ahead of me again. I just fixed it in this screenshot. It was complaining about this last line but was showing error multiple times so i assumed it was complaining about this whole section. And in this case, it was correct.

#

after doing above - no more errors

and wheels have all the required memorypoints

orchid heath
#

okay

wheat sluice
# teal mirage this is the cfgVehicles part of the uniform

Your issue is that you're trying to make a BLUFOR unit (CRM_RT_Rifleman) wear a REDFOR uniform. CRM_Gorka (your class) inherits modelSides[] = {0,3,2}; from O_R_Gorka_base_F.

You need to change that by redefining modelSides[] in your uniform class to include the BLUFOR side in the array. Alternately, you can make your uniform universal (as in it can be freely worn by all sides) by setting the array of modelSides[] to {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7};.

It's not ideal for readability, but CRM_Gorka in CfgVehicles and CRM_Gorka in CfgWeapons exist within different scopes. There won't be disambiguation issues on the engine side even though they share the same name.

However, I'd suggest giving them different names so that you won't get confused later down the line if you start adding more uniforms and variations. Especially if you decide to make Zeus item pickups for the uniforms. For instance, adding an extra prefix/suffix like CRM_Gorka_uniform for the CfgVehicles class and U_CRM_Gorka for the CfgWeapons class is one way to do it.

orchid heath
hearty sandal
#

thats a lot of springstrength

orchid heath
#

yeah i changed it and forgot the orginal one

hearty sandal
#

it should be vehicle mass divided by wheel count

orchid heath
#

okay, is that its out of game mass?

orchid heath
hearty sandal
#

that should have at least some effect. no idea if it fully fixes your issues

orchid heath
#

only one way to find out

#

Still doing the same thing

nimble sequoia
#

sprungMass is the one that should be Geo LOD mass / number of weight bearing wheels, although "-1" often works best for tankx.
springStrength is typically 25 to 100 x the SprungMass

orchid heath
#

would -1 work for and IFV

nimble sequoia
#

for carx simulation I'd usually use the correct calculated value

orchid heath
#

okay, now to work out the geo LOD mass

nimble sequoia
#

The Geo LOD mass is just what you've set in the Geometry LOD

orchid heath
#

i didnt setup the Geometry LOD, so not sure how to check for it

nimble sequoia
#

You have permission to edit the model?

orchid heath
#

Yeah

nimble sequoia
#

or you're just changing config for an existing model that you can't open?

orchid heath
#

i have permission to open it, as its a friends project that he stoped working on, since having a kid

hearty sandal
#

ah mixed the parameters. πŸ‘

nimble sequoia
#

So you open the p3d, go to Geometry LOD, select all the mesh and look at the total mass window.

orchid heath
#

so its 24160.000

nimble sequoia
#

In your class Wheels, you should have be using wheel_1_1, wheel_1_2, wheel_1_3 and wheel_1_9 etc
The last wheel is always 9, regardless

#

Assuming that you have numberPhysicalWheels = 8; in config, then sprungMass = 3020;

orchid heath
#

ah, so id have to change all the wheels from wheel_1_1, wheel_1_2,wheel_1_3,wheel_1_4 wheel_2_1, wheel_2_2,wheel_2_3,wheel_2_4, to whell_1_1 to wheel_1_9

orchid heath
nimble sequoia
#

Ah wait, sorry, the wheel_1_9 thing is for tankx, but your config says carx

orchid heath
#

yeah im using carx

#

Using carx since thats what the base game wheeled apc uses

nimble sequoia
#

In your memory LOD, make sure the two centre points for each wheel are close together (eg wheel_1_1_center) and are in the middle of the wheel, directly above the bounding point (wheel_1_1_bound)

#

Try

springStrength      = 160000;
springDamperRate    = 43963;```
orchid heath
#

Trying now

nimble sequoia
#

Check in buldozer that as you increase damper from 0 to 1, all 8 wheels move upwards

orchid heath
#

Dont get the option for dampers in buldozer, probs cause i havent set them up in the model.cfg yet need to add wheel bound points to Memory LOD

nimble sequoia
#

Remember that the maxCompression and maxDroop in config.cpp need to be matched to the damper offset0 and offset1 animation values MULTIPLIED by the length of the damper axis (wheel_1_1_damper)

#

If you don't have wheel boundary points in the mem lod, then nothing will work

orchid heath
#

that would probs explain why then, time to set them up

ebon pivot
#

modelsides is by far the most annoying addition to arma

wheat sluice
#

It was made in good faith back in 2011 when disguises were supposed to be a thing. But it was one of those things that's just been kept around for honestly silly reasons now ("Geneva conventions").

ebon pivot
#

wasnt that back when arma was getting negative press for "uhhh terrorist game"

wheat sluice

Going offtopic, but that's way later in 2015 when Daily Mail were spreading that rubbish about Arma. The Gamescom/E3 gameplay demos with disguises were much earlier (in 2011).

# ebon pivot where is the audible range for ai defined in a weapons config

You define it in the root of the class: Disregard. Had a brain fart. You need to define the settings in CfgAmmo:

    class My_Ammo_Class: Some_Parent_Class
    {
        visibleFire = 0.3;
        audibleFire = 0.03;
        visibleFireTime = 0.5;
        audibleFireTime = 0.5;
    };

Only CfgAmmo + CfgMagazines settings matter if you want to make its bullets subsonic and get rid of the sonic crack. Also best to tweak the range of the weapon's shaders (firing + tails) in CfgSoundShaders for consistency's sake, otherwise you'll have a supposedly suppressed weapon that's still as loud as an unsuppressed gun.

#

* should note that this applies to anything that needs to be integral to the weapon (flashlights, lasers, etc.). It's pretty much the same setup used by weapons with "attachments" in Arma 2, A1 and OFP, since weapons with attachments back then were considered to be standalone variants.

That is not where you declare itemInfo. You want the itemInfo from MBAV_Ranger_v1_1?

ivory barn
#

correct yes

wintry tartan
#

Then declare itemInfo there, not as a child of CfgWeapons

ivory barn

I did try that, just above where 'class ItemInfo: ItemInfo' declare 'class ItemInfo' right?
but then arma crashes with the error that 'member is already defined'

Im adding some eventhandlers upon creation of units from config but units created under greenfor MAN parent class seem to be ignoring the events, to be more specific, Syndikat, Looters and FIA factions do so, as it works correctly with redfor, blufor and AAF and LDF faction units.

Could it be that those classnames are not considered MAN?
Could there be a better parent class to globally add those events to all units from all factions?

Parent EHs can be removed upon one forgot to inherit

fleet adder
#

OH wow

#

thats awful

wintry tartan
#

It is

#

I kinda think EH should be the exception of such overwrite but too risky as well, so not sure

fleet adder
#

more than broken it just seems like my EH are being replaced at the lower inheritance levels, sadge as I wanted to avoid relying in cba

fleet adder
#

@opal crater (sorry for the ping notlikemeowcry )
#arma3_feedback_tracker message

So what do in this case?
Rely on CBA exclusively for class eventhandlers or look for more base clases further down the line?

Some vanilla classes already take the man class eventhandler so I suppose inheritance from mods that use that parent class wont be an issue, maybe do man/camanbase and there re-declare on child classes?

opal crater

#

idk what are you doing

#

if you are using CBA use CBA XEH for event handlers

fleet adder
#

im not, thats why im asking :p
Im just adding some systems initializations to init eventhandler of the man class

Anyone have any idea how to get the RHS Deployed Weapon hand animation working on custom rifles? I checked their "For Developers" page and it still says WIP.
Anyone had any experience with it?

hearty sandal
blazing quiver
#

I was hoping for something a bit more specific
They have page on their website about the grip system and thats pretty easy to set up
But i have 0 clue for the hand anim swap

hearty sandal
#

Each weapon uses different hand anim

#

Nah, the deployed MG stock-grip thing doesn't switch weapon classes - that's for vfg attachments and the like. With the MGs it's scripted with rhs_fnc_handle_mg to play a gesture when the gun is deployed

#

The weapon class needs a weaponInfoType= with _this call rhs_fnc_handle_mg; in the onLoad= array, and have a rhs_deployedHandAnim = assigned to a suitable gesture

What effects the light color of a grenade (or something inheriting from G_40mm_HE to be specific).
I have an effect with a purple light set as the effectFly for my ammo, but when shooting it in-game, the light is a yellow-orangish color.
The other parts of the effect such as the smoke and sparks display correctly, it's only the light not showing properly.

#

I have a rocket that uses the same complex effect class, and does display correctly, so I know the effect is fine.

If you're responding to me, just ping me.

#

for class MFD I see that there is ammoFormat to give the currnet mags name, is there away to get the current mags ammo count?

sourceIndex? gonna try with -1 maybe it works shrug

hearty sandal

these work? nope this is for something else. However the wiki shows sources that probably work

            color[] = {1, 1, 1};
            alpha = 1;
            condition = "1";
            class Gunner_Text_1
            {
                type = "text";
                source = "ammo";
                sourceScale = 1;
                sourceLength = 3;
                scale = 15;
                //sourceIndex = -1;
                align = "left";
                refreshRate = 0.1;

                down[] = {{0.4, 0.2}, 1};
            };
        };

oh rip formatting, but not having a sourceIndex gives the ammo count in mag | mag count

#

very cool

hearty sandal
#

πŸ‘

toxic solar
#

ah but I can see why they didnt do that for the tank and instead just hard coded out the types, cause it would be weird to show something like
24 | 5 when selecting APFSDS

#

ngl I forgot jets exists and didnt check them for references :p

toxic solar
#

Okay so next question, for the merkava it has the following to show the main cannons ammo count:

class Gunner_Text_1
{
    type = "text";
    source = "ammo";
    sourceScale = 1;
    sourceLength = 2;
    sourceIndex = 1000;
    scale = 1;
    align = "center";
    refreshRate = 0.1;
    pos[] = {{0.5, 0}, 1};
    right[] = {{1.3, 0}, 1};
    down[] = {{0.5, 0.3}, 1};
};
class Gunner_Text_2
{
    type = "text";
    source = "ammo";
    sourceScale = 1;
    sourceLength = 2;
    sourceIndex = 1002;
    scale = 1;
    align = "center";
    refreshRate = 0.1;
    pos[] = {{0.5, 0.3}, 1};
    right[] = {{1.3, 0.3}, 1};
    down[] = {{0.5, 0.6}, 1};
};
class Gunner_Text_3
{
    type = "text";
    source = "ammo";
    sourceScale = 1;
    sourceLength = 2;
    sourceIndex = 1001;
    scale = 1;
    align = "center";
    refreshRate = 0.1;
    pos[] = {{0.5, 0.6}, 1};
    right[] = {{1.3, 0.6}, 1};
    down[] = {{0.5, 0.9}, 1};
};

why are the sourceIndex's in the 1000s? why not
sourceIndex = 0, 1,2?

looks like my last question wasn't my last question after all πŸ˜… . changing the gunnerType on the RHS blackhawk doesn't change the doorgunners. I've tried to do what this reddit post talked about, but i get a simmular error (class turrets undefined, and after defining it i get the error that it's already defined) (the forum post:https://www.reddit.com/r/armadev/comments/9hzzh8/alive_orbat_undefined_base_class_turrets_with/)

how does one set that ingeritance up? from what i understand it would just be adding class turret {GunnerType = "CRM_Pilot"}; , no?

nimble sequoia
#

Set aside a few days for research to work on your understanding of turret inheritance, it's not necessarily straightforward.

teal mirage
#

figured, thanks for the help anyways!

#

wierd how arma has things that seem hard like making SMDI textures and stuff be easy to do and then have things that seem easy like change a doorgunner be a several day process lol

nimble sequoia
#

It's like driving a car. It might take you a month to learn to drive initially, but then after that, you can make a long journey very quickly. It's not the process, but the learning of the concept that people can struggle with.

#

So one of us could write the code you need in a few minutes, but ultimately it wouldn't help you in the long run when you wanted to do it again.

teal mirage
#

oh yea no i wasn't fishing for that, though the hardest part that i do fish for here is getting the proper name of the things i'm trying to change so that i can find it on the wiki and in forum posts

#

like gunnertype, had no idea that even existed as a class as it isn't in the example config for helicopters on the wiki

Is there a specific guide for doing the config for RHS retextures? I'm working on a retex of the RHSAFRF 6sh122 but I'm in a very grey area for my skills.

hearty sandal
#

But it is same as with anything else.

dreamy granite
#

Could I get a link to the guide for that? I found it once but can't find it now for whatever reason

hearty sandal
#

It boils down to understanding how configs are built

dreamy granite
#

okay, so how can I figure out how to do this? Just look at some retexture configs for RHS and copy how they do it then?

hearty sandal
#

there isnt really anything specifc for making RHS retexture

#

its just same kind of class inheritance and applying new texture through hiddenselections

#

when you look up for things, forget the RHS part

dreamy granite
#

oh okay well in that case I have it correct

dreamy granite
#

So I went through the addon builder and when it was packing it gave me this:
Process ended with non-zero code. Exit code: 1
!>
Done.
Build failed

What does this mean

hearty sandal
#

well basically you have some sort of major error in your work, addon builder does not stop on much

#

but the error itself does not really say anything useful

dreamy granite
#

great

hearty sandal
#

id say start from simple config with just a class cfgpatches in it

#

then add like the necessary parent class definitions

#

try run that

#

if that packs

#

then add more of the stuff you want to change

#

and see when it stops packing it

dreamy granite
#

well I got it with CFG patches XD

Is there a guide on how to get people sitting int he right spot in a vic, instead of everyone in the middle

What should I put for required addons if it needs RHSAFRF?

hearty sandal
#

the cfgpatches classname of the config you use parent classes from

dusty relic
#

when creating a chemlight, there is the line; effectsSmoke = "ChemlightLight_yellow";
Where is "ChemlightLight_yellow" located in the config?

hearty sandal
dusty relic
dreamy granite
#

okay so I have found that most of the stuff in the config is wrong

#

So first things first I gotta get the cfg patches fixed

#

then I got the rest from there

hearty sandal
dreamy granite
#

So I should be testing this with only the config in the file correct?

hearty sandal
#

yes I suppose that would be best approach to narrow it down

#

Anyone know what in the configs causes AI not to target an air vehicle? All my ground units and air units won't target an air vehicle I'm working on

is it something they can see? sensors can see? can they actually damage it?

It's the heli version of it, my vtol version works fine as a plane, ai have no problem taking it down

@dreamy graniteconsider using pboProject for crunching configs. It's free and it gives reasonable error messsages.

the lower towards 0 you go the narrower the view and more you "zoom in"

Is the gunnger FOV setup the same as the drivers fov

toxic solar
#

so I have a turret that has MFDs, simple ammo counter stuff. in first person its fine but when right clicking to aim down sights the MFDs disappear. I know that the opticsIn lod is using view pilot lod so I am not sure why the MFDs disappear

novel lava
#

can try setting LODOpticsIn

#

LODOpticsIn = 1100; for view pilot

toxic solar
#

any thing else I should try?

novel lava
#

hmmmm nope I have no idea, the only MFDs i had messed with were crosshairs in aircraft

toxic solar
#

tbh I wouldnt be suprised if the game disabled MFDS for I guess performance reasons sunglasscry

novel lava
#

it woudlnt surprise me also but they work fine in aircraft but it might depend on how the 'optic' mode works

Okay I will go take a peak at aircrafts see if they have anything maybe

yeah, im slowly learning

hard chasm
#

find out which addon (pbo) the cargoturret is defined and set that as a requiredAddons[]= in your addon's cfgpatches.

#

wingrep is your friend here. it will rapidly search all config.cpps in the game and find it for you. (this assumes youve used dayz2p or arm3p to extract the game data).
If you haven't yet extracted the game, or, got a copy of wingrep, you still have a few mountians to climb.

no, just the standard addon builder

Does the item show in the Eden lists?

Yes and i can spawn it just fine with scripts

It's called "Small IED (Dug-in)"

I've checked - yes it does

ivory barn
#

It does yeah

nimble sequoia
#

It might be that it's the path names to your model and/or editorPreview.
Most modders will suggest you should use a p drive for your development environment and that paths are then relative to p

#

A p drive is easily set-up in the Arma 3 Tools, and you can extract Arma 3 files and CUP files to that p drive

ivory barn
hard chasm
#

access = anything is a reserved keyword, exclusive to bis, and exclusively used only in their bin\config.bin to prevent erasure, change or tampering. YOUR config is attempting to prevent ANY changes to cfgVehicles. Not from just you but depending on the load order, alterations by CUP and even bis themselves.

One thing for certain, you aren't using my tools, because pboProject would never allow you to do that.

(it would also prevent you using FULL_UPPER_CASE for your addon name)\

ivory barn
#

Well no i did say i'm using the standard arma 3 tools, not mikero.
Added the access line as a test but even without it still having issues seeing it in curator, also tried with it set to 0 like the wiki says

hard chasm
#

in that case it's a lottery whether the files are where you say they are. There could be typos or a mis-reading of their locations. I think you have something wrong much simplerthan that but without a fully extracted p: drive (assumption on my part) or decent tools, your not doing yourself any favours. Even hemmtt would help you eliminate standard mistakes.

ivory barn
#

ok packed it with mikero tools, it did give me an error for the access so i took that line out. It went through no issues
just shifted to do a really simple box object. Still not seeing it in curator though.

It appears that the max touch off range for most explosives is 300m. Is there anyway to increase that range? I've tried to define a custom trigger in CfgMineTriggers, Both mineTriggerRange and mineTriggerActivationRange seem to have no effect.

Hey so I thought I'd make a custom loading screen for a mission generator I'm working on for my unit, and so I made a cfgWorlds patch to change pictureMap
Now everything normally needs to be a 2:1 ratio so my image is 2048x1024 and I see pictureMap is supposed to be 2080x2048 so I made a transparent image that size and placed my 2048x1024 image in the middle.
That works but the picture will be too high, so I move it down save it and try again and it'll be to low, it honestly seems like random luck where this image sits on the screen. I'm obviously doing something wrong, or does the map screen when you loading a mission show a random part of that 2048x2048 image?!?

It is how the loading screen works

Speaking of, do we have a good way to make a config dump while filtering by, addons or Mods (so the changes made by the specified Mod will be written)? If no I guess I would just make one

Yeah that's the point

nimble sequoia
#

Run two dumps - one with mod, one with vanilla. Then do a notepad++ diff

Hm, maybe that'll do

so I have a very odd issue, for a icon of a launcher it shows up in arsenal but when opening inventory its not there. The odd part is the error in rpt log is

Warning Message: Picture \optre_temp_pbo\au_x_mortar\data\icons\tube.paa not found

which is not even the same as whats in config viewer, the actual path is "\OPTRE_Temp_PBO\AU_44_Mortar\data\icons\tube.paa", idk why the 44 got replaced with an x, and its not reflected in config viewer

moving the image to \OPTRE_Temp_PBO\data\icons\tube.paa works shrug and idk why

@toxic solar don't know if this helps or hinders but,

picture= is the only \file\reference in the engine that MUST have a leading \

I have seen similar strangeness some years ago due to above.

Guys I added 5th uniform and it says "no entry" in game

#

I coded correctly idk what's the problem

error in your code

Without having more info we can say nothing

5th uniform

i actually did something but still i see this
and the uniform works but with different texture

#

Or have you check there is avaible I_Soldier_05_F ,
Because in A3 confs is only 01-04

hearty sandal
#

My guess is that either I_soldier_05_F does not exist at all and thus lacks all teh engine required paramerters or your required addons arreay is not set up right and your config loads in wrong order before I_soldier_05_F exists

severe marlin
severe marlin
hearty sandal
#

yes

severe marlin
hearty sandal
#

I_Soldier_05 does not exist it seems blobdoggoshruggoogly

#

ah prisoner just said the same there too

severe marlin
hearty sandal
#

so you'll need to of course use some existing unit to inherit from

#

whatever unit it is you try to inherit from

#

I dont know which one you want

severe marlin
severe marlin
hearty sandal
#

must be the one you try to alter

severe marlin
hearty sandal
#

you try to retexture some uniform

#

use the that class

severe marlin

#

I dont know how else to say this

#

I do not know exactly which one you retexture, that you will have to know yourself

rapid crystal
#

Anyone know what could cause a "binarise crashed" error? PBOproject was working just fine, now it is breaking.

hearty sandal
#

what did you do last time?

hard chasm
#

@rapid crystal because binarise crashed, it is unable to tell you what it was doing at the time. Short answer is there are 1,001 reasons for it. Long answer is it can only start crashing because you changed something.

rapid crystal
#

Added a couple P3Ds. I might have to reexport them πŸ€₯

rapid crystal
glacial spear
#

iv spend a long time doing it and wanted to let you know i figured it out and got it working

hard chasm
#

@rapid crystalthank you for your kind words, p3ds are notorious for causing binarise crashes. The most famous one is have a pre-binarised p3d in the path that it is trying to crunch. (Needless to say, pboProject prevents that from happening)

i hope this is the place for this

im just trying to set up an evannex server on Nitrado for me and some friends everything is working kinda but its making us choose a mission before loading in so in trying to fix this i was trying to add evannex to the class missions in the configs but it just seems to kill the server.

// MISSIONS CYCLE
class Missions = {Evannex_AI_vs_AI_Altis.Altis.pbo};

that's what I have in there atm but it doesn't seem to want to work if I get rid of it server shows up loads and plays putting it back it wont show up if anyone knows what I'm doing wrong or how to fix it please inform me because I am quite uninformed when it comes to doing server configs

No .pbo needed

Without tell us more info nothing can be said

#

U didn't look

#

Ah you meant that

severe marlin

#

Nobody said so. They only said the existed vanilla config are 01 to 04

severe marlin
#

He said uniform 5 not exist

severe marlin
wintry tartan
#

A parent class have children classes as many as you want

wintry tartan
severe marlin
#

Or its something else

novel lava
#

^ that one in particular you should look at

severe marlin
novel lava
#

well you seem to completely misunderstand how uniforms work

severe marlin
wintry tartan
#

Or how does a config work even

#

In the first place, what is your intention to have I_Soldier_05_F there? What exactly you want to inherit?

novel lava
#

to put it plainly
uniforms are two parts
a unit
and a uniform

the unit is the actual uniform, what your uniform looks like when worn
the uniform item is what it looks like when its on the ground and how its selected

if you have 5 uniforms that all use the same model but just the texture differs you just have them all inherit from the same baseclass and name your new class what you want - like in the wiki example

wintry tartan
#

Or I_Soldier_F I_Soldier_02_F or others

novel lava
#

like in your config:

    class I_Soldier_F;

    class BlackHand_UniformIndep: I_soldier_F 
     {
        author = "β™ Punisherβ™ ";
        vehicleClass = "BlackHand";
        scope = 1;
        displayName = "Combat Fatigues(Russian)";
        identityTypes[] = {"Head_NATO", "G_NATO_default"};
        genericNames = "NATOMen";
        model = "\A3\characters_f_beta\INDEP\ia_soldier_01.p3d";
        uniformClass = "BlackHand_CamoIndep";
        hiddenSelections[] = {"Camo","Insignia"};
        hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"BlackHand\Data\uniform_indep_co.paa"};
        hiddenSelectionsMaterials[] = {"BlackHand\Data\indepUniform.rvmat"};
    };


    class I_Soldier_02_F;

    class BlackHand_UniformIndep_02: I_Soldier_02_F 
     {
        author = "β™ Punisherβ™ ";
        vehicleClass = "BlackHand";
        scope = 1;
        displayName = "Combat Fatigues(Rolled,Russian)";
        identityTypes[] = {"Head_NATO", "G_NATO_default"};
        genericNames = "NATOMen";
        model = "\A3\characters_f_beta\INDEP\ia_soldier_02.p3d";
        uniformClass = "BlackHand_CamoIndep_02";
        hiddenSelections[] = {"Camo","Insignia"};
        hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"BlackHand\Data\uniform_indep_co.paa"};
        hiddenSelectionsMaterials[] = {"BlackHand\Data\indepUniform.rvmat"};
    };

these two are right

#

you can just keep using I_Soldier_F and I_Soldier_02_f for 03, 04, 05 or however many you want

severe marlin
novel lava
#

you don't need to put class I_Soldier_F before every class, you only need to define it once

#

Like:

    class I_Soldier_F;

    class BlackHand_UniformIndep: I_soldier_F 
     {
        author = "β™ Punisherβ™ ";
        vehicleClass = "BlackHand";
        scope = 1;
        displayName = "Combat Fatigues(Russian)";
        identityTypes[] = {"Head_NATO", "G_NATO_default"};
        genericNames = "NATOMen";
        model = "\A3\characters_f_beta\INDEP\ia_soldier_01.p3d";
        uniformClass = "BlackHand_CamoIndep";
        hiddenSelections[] = {"Camo","Insignia"};
        hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"BlackHand\Data\uniform_indep_co.paa"};
        hiddenSelectionsMaterials[] = {"BlackHand\Data\indepUniform.rvmat"};
    };


    class I_Soldier_02_F;

    class BlackHand_UniformIndep_02: I_Soldier_02_F 
     {
        author = "β™ Punisherβ™ ";
        vehicleClass = "BlackHand";
        scope = 1;
        displayName = "Combat Fatigues(Rolled,Russian)";
        identityTypes[] = {"Head_NATO", "G_NATO_default"};
        genericNames = "NATOMen";
        model = "\A3\characters_f_beta\INDEP\ia_soldier_02.p3d";
        uniformClass = "BlackHand_CamoIndep_02";
        hiddenSelections[] = {"Camo","Insignia"};
        hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"BlackHand\Data\uniform_indep_co.paa"};
        hiddenSelectionsMaterials[] = {"BlackHand\Data\indepUniform.rvmat"};
    };

    class BlackHand_UniformIndep_03: I_soldier_01_F 
     {
        author = "β™ Punisherβ™ ";
        vehicleClass = "BlackHand";
        scope = 1;
        displayName = "Combat Fatigues(Russian)";
        identityTypes[] = {"Head_NATO", "G_NATO_default"};

no - parent classes only need to be defined once per config - that's what the error was complaining about, it being defined twice

severe marlin
novel lava
#

thats because 01, 02, 03 and 04 are different classes

wintry tartan
#

You have never declared I_Soldier_F twice

novel lava
#

and what horriblegoat was trying to say is I_Soldier_05_F doesn't actually exist

#

not that there's a limit on how many uniforms you can have

Is your log truncated as it doesn't end with success or failure message?

latent monolith
#

these are the settings ive got

nimble sequoia
#

What version?

#

This is how my output looks for example...

#

pbo project 3.57

nimble sequoia
#

Ok, latest free is 3.91

latent monolith
#

ah good to know

nimble sequoia
#

But are you getting a fail message somewhere?

#

You could try switching "Binarise has errors" to a WARNING.

latent monolith
#

ok

latent monolith
#

my pc is not happy about that 😭

nimble sequoia
#

There were probably some dll's updated along with it, make sure you get all the latest files.

its been ages since ive downloaded it what do i need again?

well failure but at least mikeros working now

#

i should be able to handle it from here

#

||he says||

nimble sequoia
#

just 2 missing texture files perhaps

latent monolith
#

also random ass question right

#

this is pertaining to backpack configs now

#

the config im using is this

# 
class CfgPatches
{
    class OrkBag
    {
        units[]={};
        weapons[]={};
        requiredVersion=0.1;
        requiredAddons[]=
        {
            "A3_Weapons_F"
        };
    };

        model="\RageNWrath\addons\Bag\OrkBag.p3d";
        vehicleClass="Backpacks";
        maximumLoad=320;
        mass=60;
    };
};
class cfgMods
{
    author="Papafox";
    timepacked="";
};
#

ive never done a backpack before

#

is it really only that much code?

#

also how does the model config tie in same as usual?

nimble sequoia
#

class name in model.cfg must be exactly the same as the p3d name

#

This is a typical vanilla Arma config for a bag based on the same inheritance as yours for comparison

{
    author = "Bohemia Interactive";
    mapSize = 0.45;
    _generalMacro = "B_AssaultPack_Base";
    model = "\A3\weapons_f\Ammoboxes\bags\Backpack_Compact";
    hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"\A3\weapons_f\ammoboxes\bags\data\backpack_compact_khk_co.paa"};
    maximumLoad = 160;
    mass = 20;
};
class B_AssaultPack_khk: B_AssaultPack_Base
{
    author = "Bohemia Interactive";
    _generalMacro = "B_AssaultPack_khk";
    scope = 2;
    picture = "\A3\Weapons_F\Ammoboxes\Bags\data\UI\icon_B_AssaultPack_khk_ca.paa";
    displayName = "Assault Pack (Khaki)";
    hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"\A3\weapons_f\ammoboxes\bags\data\backpack_compact_khk_co.paa"};
};```
#

So you are perhaps missing hiddenSelectionsTextures[] and might want a custom picture for Eden

latent monolith
#

copy ill add those

nimble sequoia
#

For your hiddenSelections, they're called "camo" in the p3d if you inherit from the Bag_Base config

#

You don't actually need this line vehicleClass="Backpacks"; as that's in your inherited parent already.

latent monolith
#

understood

#

its packed now

Hi!
https://streamable.com/3yd2qd

Im working on a project that simulates severe weather stuff etc. i got most stuff narrowed down, now i want to fine tune the particles.

I use particle classes to be handed to the the particle spawner.

in the example video you can see, there are 2 "main issues" that i am seeking to resolve somehow.

  1. The particle clouds are "clipping" into the floor, leaving this straight line where the partile stops and the floor starts.
  2. when the particles approach towards the player, they simply "plop" out of existance, and "plop" back in, after passing through the player.

im woundering how i can finetune the visual effects for these effect to be at least distracting as possible

here are the particle classes
https://github.com/PulsarNeutronStar/S.T.O.R.M.-Weather-Framework/blob/based/addons/fx_particle/Storm_ParticleEffects.inc.hpp

Can someone please help me?

I want the player on the gunner slot in 1st person to be looking from the vertex "A" (basically playerΒ΄s eye) towards vertex "B"

                    camPos = "A";
                    camDir = "B";
                    initAngleX = 0;
                    minAngleX = -180;
                    maxAngleX = 180;
                    initAngleY = 0;
                    minAngleY = -180;
                    maxAngleY = 180;
                    initFov = 0.4;
                    minFov = 0.4;
                    maxFov = 0.4;
                    visionMode[] = {"Normal"};
                };```

When switching into optics mode he should be looking from vertex "C" towards vertex "D"

```class ViewOptics : ViewOptics {
                    camPos = "C";
                    camDir = "D";
                    initAngleX = 0;
                    minAngleX = -30;
                    maxAngleX = 30;
                    initAngleY = 0;
                    minAngleY = 0;
                    maxAngleY = 68;
                    initFov = 0.15;
                    minFov = 0.15;
                    maxFov = 0.15;
                    visionMode[] = {"Normal"};
                };```

My camera instead keeps looking straight ahead. Why is that? Is camPos / camDir used for something else?

I looked at the turret config reference on the wiki, but it is extremely poorly documented, and entries like camPos, camDir, cameraDir, memoryPointCamera arenΒ΄t even explained. 

It only says that memoryPointGunnerOptics defines the gunnerΒ΄s view point. But this entry is within MainTurret, it is not specific for ViewGunner or ViewOptics.

I literally only want to define two different starting vertices (A,C) for the camera, and two different vertices (B,D) for the actual camera direction.
#

or can I only have one starting point defined, and I have to use the Angle X / Y offsets to control the direction?

Also, is the smaller the number, the more zoomed it is?

Hi, how can i fill the backpack of a Unit, i have give them Materials with the Item[] = but not all is in the inventory, and the inventory of the Vest and Uniform is full. the Bagpack is empty.

Backpacks need predefined cargo - check out the ammo bearer config from base game and see how his backpack is a somewhat special classname.

Not my field but it seems unlikely that this is valid minimal vehicle config.

#

You're probably supposed to be inheriting from another CfgVehicles class.

pale dew
#

from a class that arma already has or an entirly new one?

chilly tulip
#

A class Arma already has.

hearty sandal

yes your object indeed has no simulation type etc so it is practically nothing

If this runs without errors in editor Im surprised

nimble sequoia
# pale dew still pretty new to this, sorry in advance

No need to apologise, you almost got it perfect and it's a great way to start.
As the others have said, you just need to inherit from a "base" object that is already in the game and contains a number of other configuration parameters that you do not need to change.
It's also recommended that you prefix your new classes with a unique identifier specific to you.
And you need to include a requiredAddons[] in the CfgPatches.

{
    class rpg_testObject1
    {
        units[] = {"rpg_testObjects"};
        weapons[] = {};
        requiredVersion = 1;
        requiredAddons[] = {"A3_Data_F_Decade_Loadorder"};
    };
};
class CfgVehicles
{
    class ThingX;
    class rpg_testObjects: ThingX
    {
        author = "rpg";
        displayName = "RPG Test Object"; 
        scope = 2;
        scopeCurator = 2;
        model = "\TestObjects\TestCube.p3d";
        editorCategory = "EdCat_Furniture";
        editorSubCategory = "EdSubcat_Camping";
        vehicleClass = "Tents";
        destrType = "DestructNo";
    };
};```

such as a static barrel. Or a haybail

#

something with collision but not interactable

nimble sequoia
#

Firstly, notice in the modified code I gave you, that it is now inheriting from "ThingX". This is the base class for the type of object you are referring to.
The way I found that was to place a camping chair in the Editor, then looked at it's config, which showed it's class name and what it was inheriting from (ThingX).

pale dew
#

ThingX being something that can be referanced?
X makes be think physx stuff

nimble sequoia
#

Yes, ThingX objects have physx.

pale dew
#

i see

chilly tulip
#

Pure static objects are usually children of NonStrategic

pale dew
#

ok. So use NonStrategic for no physics and ThingX for physics. but assume that these are just what arma uses

nimble sequoia
#

Yes, often. But the point is that rpg now knows how to place an object with similar characteristics, and can find a suitable parent class to inherit from.

pale dew
#

so inherant from an Object class that referances one of the two depending on what is needed. Or should i just referance either NonStrategic or ThingX depending on what is needed

#

i assume the latter

#

but just wanted to make sure

nimble sequoia
#

Or you could follow my suggestion.

Is it possible to disable a vehicle sensor via script, or does it mostly require a config edit for each vehicle?

brave crag
# wintry tartan What kind of goal you have?

Some aircraft have "Visual sensor" that are picking up cold targets in garages, in barns etc. I was wondering if it would be manageable to do something on the server instead of making more configs

So disable a sensor not whole of them?

When you use a Slammer, you can use "T" to set the cannon so the shell goes exactly where you're pointing at. But you can't do that with a M4 Scorcher, you can only use the cannon as artillery. Is there a way to modify the turret of the Scorcher so i can use "t" like with the Slammer ?

You don't need to know why and apply IRL fact into Arma

You're talking about laser range finding for tanks etc, I dont think that is a thing for SPG vehicles, although I could be wrong and there could be a config entry or something like that for it

It wouldn't make sense for a military simulator not to be able to do that

Arma 3 never claims itself a simulator

faint spruce

#

Nope

faint spruce
#

When i go on arma3.com, i can read "Experience true combat gameplay in a massive military sandbox.". Indeed i can't see the word simulation but it means the same

wintry tartan
#

It's not, but anyways

wheat sluice
#

You could try adding the parameters for FCS auto lead/zeroing (FCSMaxLeadSpeed + FCSZeroingDelay) and set ballisticsComputer = "2 + 16" but IIRC they don't work for artillery even if the weapon's being used for line-of-sight direct fire.

Then again, it's not really needed when you've got the artillery computer anyway. Arty shells aren't fired at a high enough velocity to be very useful in direct fire (usually 800-900 m/s) as opposed to APFSDS shells for tank cannons that are often in excess of 1,500 m/s.

I don;t think I am doing this correctly. Actually, I know I am not doing this correctly. How do I get "name" class to be inherited and is there any other area I am not doing something correctly?

# 
    scope = 1;
    displayName = "Object";
    vehicleClass = "modules";
    icon = "iconModule";
    category = "TAG";
    author = "Crashdome";

    isGlobal = 0;        
    isTriggerActivated = 0;    

    class Arguments : ArgumentsBaseUnits {
        class name {
            displayName = "Name";
            description = "Name";
            typeName = "STRING";
            defaultValue = "";
        };
    };
};

class TAG_subObject : TAG_objectBase {
    scope = 2;
    displayName = "Smaller Object";
    class Arguments {

        ///HOW DO I GET NAME ?  
        class name;

            typeName = "STRING";
            defaultValue = "";
        };
    };
};
#

Ah, I figured it out... I feel dumb now. For anyone wondering what I did wrong.. I needed class Arguments : Arguments { and not use class name; I also should rename the first one to TAG_ArgumentsBase or something different to prevent confusion.

class Module_F;

Altho it's counter intuitive, it's a noob mistake to alter an existing bis class. Other bis addons will NEVER see your changes because they've already loaded the original class. Even 'worser' <grin> other NON bis classes will/wont see your changes. depending on whether it's friday and what you had for breakfast.

the only thing you are 'allowed' to do is declare where subclasses live in the config tree, Eg

class bisParent
{
    class bisSubclass;
}```
is fine.
class BisParent
{
    varAnything=Potatoes; // should never happen 
};```
*always* use

class myclass: bisparent
{
   class BisSubParent:BisSubParent
    {
//       do whatever you want
    };
};
``` to repeat, you *never* alter *a* bis class, or subclass directly.

again, it may be counter intutive that
```class BisSubParent:BisSubParent```
is a COPY of the original.
#

if you stick to this rule, creating working configs is a piece of cake.

dreamy granite
#

Okay, so what should go there then?

wintry tartan
#

No idea. I don't know which class is what you want or even your goal

dreamy granite
#

I'm just trying to get the unifrom in game so I can grab it from the arsenal at this point

wintry tartan
#

Also you need to figure out which is the base class

dreamy granite
#

Well the B_Soldier_F is the one that I found digging through it with the adv dev tools mod

#

So should the first one be uniform base and the the second be the B_soldier_F?

wintry tartan
#

I'm sure B_Soldier_F is not what you want. It is not an RHS class

dreamy granite
#

I'll take a look real quick

#

"rhs_c_troops" found this in the addons tab

#

class CfgVehicles {
class All {};
class AllVehicles: All {};
class Land: AllVehicles {};
class Man: Land {};
class CAManBase: Man {};
class SoldierGB: CAManBase {};
class rhs_infantry_msv_base: SoldierGB {};
class rhs_vkpo_base: rhs_infantry_msv_base {};
class rhs_6sh122_base: rhs_vkpo_base {};
class rhs_6sh122_v2_base: rhs_6sh122_base {};
};
This is all the parents that I can find

#

I'm thinking it may either be the CAManBase or the SoldierGB

wintry tartan
#

Neither

#

They are also not a part of RHS

dreamy granite
#

This is what I pulled from the config viewer, do you think if I look in a retexture mod I'd be able to find it?

wintry tartan
#

I really don't know. What is your uniform you want to tweak

dreamy granite
#

6sh122

wintry tartan
#

Then rhs_6sh122_base should be the parent

dreamy granite
# 
    class KAF_test_122: rhs_6sh122_base
#

so it should be like this?

wintry tartan
#

Probably

dreamy granite
#

I'll give it a shot

#

is there some reason you would need to?

It's really weird because I can debinarise the config.cpp to the mod and that gives me the classname and everything for the backpack I'm trying to retexture, but I can't set the texture on it.

So the config isn't obfuscated or anything

you can see it in the in game config viewer if that one fails

And cfgconvert won’t convert it to cpp?

@void plover >does anyone know how to use CfgConvert to debinarise .hpp files?
they aren't binarised.

shy knot
#

That is likely an error in the file itself

#

The end of file thing

hearty sandal
#

what is it you try to do

void plover
#

it's called texHeaders.bin, since it's called texHeaders.bin I made the leap to assuming it is a binarised .hpp

hard chasm
#

hpp files generally serve no purpose being in a pbo

void plover
hard chasm
#

texheaders.bin is generated by bis binarise (if i let it) or by me

#

it's an index table into the lods for all p3ds in the pbo

#

it has no practical purpose when extracted.

hm okay I guess I am barking up the wrong tree then

#

is this WALK your new class?

WALK_co.png
#

is there a reason why if I retexture the texture, I wouldn't be able to convince the model to use it?

hearty sandal
#

yes

#

if the model lacks hiddenselection definitions in it

#

and in its model.cfg

#

which I would guess it does

hard chasm
#

you can examine the p3d's model cfg in Eliteness

hearty sandal

hard chasm
#

Eliteness will also tell you the name of all the p3d's sections.

#

(don't know the correct name for that. 'sections' is a bis term)

void plover
#

so if I find out the name of the selection in the p3d, I will be able to

hiddenSelections[]=
{
    "theNameOfTheP3DSelection",
};
hiddenSelectionsTextures[]=
{
    "myTexture",
};

?

hard chasm
#

that's above my pay grade (sorry) 'sections' = named selections btw

#

the trailing , is always a mistake in any bis config. it generally causes bis binarise to crash..

If you can figure out that the model actually does have selections, you can define them in your hiddenSelections[] array and suabsequently retexture them in your hiddenSelectionsTextures[] array. The vanilla static turrets are like that, and with a little bit of guesswork and help, I was able to retexture those.

anything NOT listed as a componentxxx is a candidate

hiddenselections would be defined in the model.cfg sections[] array. typically named camo/camo1/camo2 etc although any name can be give.
Gut feeling is that it wont be defined though. πŸ˜…

#

the bottom line here i that the model.cfg is also baked into the p3d. this means the selection MUST be in there. no amount of twiddling will change the p3d

No, i checked the value for various weapons and it always is a string, someting like "2 + 16" for the cannon_120mm and "2 + 4" for the 35mm cannon. It never is a boolean. I tried to use true in a test weapon and it didn't work

apologies. just a best guess on my part. 2+16 etc sounds very much like the slot in gear selection display. '2' is the nCells used (width). 16 etc is the slot posn.

question on the laser guided round for the 82 mm mortar. Its trigger distance is 500 meters and if I aim at a target say 100 meters the shell will instantly fire off its submunition and spawn the rocket submuntion that the laser guided mortar has. Is there a way to make it only do so on the decent down? I thought maybe submunitionDirectionType = "SubmunitionModelDirection"; would work but doesnt seem to. Does trigger distance only check in a sphere rather then what I was assuming is the cone that the shell stays locked to

I'm making a test cannon, i gave this cannon 3 fire modes, one for normal shooting, 2 for artillery. When i use the cannon, if i select the proper fire mode with the ballistic computer, i can shoot with the cannon like a normal cannon an i can also use it as artillery. But why is the AI not able to use it ?

I mean there is a normal fire mode for the cannon, so why is the AI not using it to fire on vehicles ?

I dont think any vanilla artillery piece have both

so you might need some scripting maybe through some appropriate eventhandler to change AI firemodes

Hello, is there a way (in config, not in script with a while {true} ) to loop a sound on a object and turn it on / off with a command ?
Exactly like Land_Campfire_F when you light the fire you hear a sound which is looped until you turn off the fire.
I would like to do the same thing but the actions in the campfire seem to be hardcoded in the engine, i can't find them in the config

@gritty rune anything that is class=house in geolod requires a class land_nameofp3d in the config

Thanks Uro, I give it a try

@gritty rune here's a bare minimum land class entry in config, you can add hitpoints, detruction effects, doors ladders etc the usual way in the entry, most things are defined in samples_f/test-house' config.cpp > http://pastebin.com/7JQSxe0P

basically anything placed on a terrain with any sort of "animation" required a land_xx class

ok, my first attempt at fixing failed, I renamed NAM_Hut_1 to Land_Nam_Hut_1 and it still gives the error, I check your config, thanks

if it's an un-animated building you can define it as class=building in geolod and iirc it doesnt need a config entry, unless you want it placeable in the editor

does the building have doors ladders anything like that?

no, these are basic huts

well then class=building in geolod should be fine

you will need a config entry defining thier scope to be placable in the editor >

class Building;
class Nam_Hut_1: Building

etc

they have class=house in the geo lod, I just learned

then they need a land_xx class in config :)

# lapis bay is there anyway to get pboproject to ignore missing files?

Older versions of the tool used to allow you to ignore missing files with CLI parameters (-x) but that's not longer possible in the latest releases. But yeah, as mikero said it's not a good idea since it means your environment isn't set up properly (or you haven't done so at all). That's just asking for problems later down the track.

If you're really desparate to avoid unpacking everything into your P: drive, there's always the option of making 0 kb dummy files.

instead of modifying interpolateTo and connectTo of other animations, just use interpolateFrom and connectFrom in your own anim

#

as for how to make it faster, use interpolateFrom to connect it to the run/sprint animation, and make sure interpolationSpeed is large enough (3 or above should be good)

#

also make sure the cost is not too low, otherwise you might break stuff

#

set the cost to 1.0 imo

Is there a way that let me calculate the range of my mrls system? As far as i understood, parameters that are important to the artillery ballistics are the magazine's initSpeed, the artilleryCharge and the turret elevation value. How can i calculate the precise ranges? I think thrust might be an interesting value too?

chilly tulip
#

Shouldn't be for artillery. Normally it doesn't use thrust or air resistance. It's just pure ballistic flight based on the initSpeed & charge. So max range is at 45 degrees elevation.

#

charge is just a multiplier for initSpeed IIRC

calm pilot
#

So, if I understood correctly, at this point what role in that calculation does elevation plays?

chilly tulip
#

The vertical component of initial velocity gives you the flight time (motion equation with gravity), and then the horizontal component gives you the distance travelled.

# chilly tulip The vertical component of initial velocity gives you the flight time (motion equ...

Yep, I’m sure is like that, but i’m afraid i have not understood πŸ˜‚ My issue is the following: my computer artillery cannot actually display the exact β€œdonut” that let me and the ai fire at that specific coordinates, the area that gets encircled between the two circles of the β€œdonut” is too thin, making it impossible for me or the ai to fire at that coordinates.

I noticed that init speed in this case, plays an important role. To my specific case, the lower i make it, the better it becomes, but then projectile becomes too slow and won’t reach the expected performances.

Max Elevation is also tied, for design reasons of the vehicle, to 45.
With my current values in the relevant parameters, max range that can be reached is 3-4km, which is perfect.

I just need to β€œtranslate” this into the artillery computer, so that this piece of artillery can be functional.
