#

and btw, have looked as best i can to 'discover' a cup_loader addon and can't find it at moment (if it exists)

#

it's something totally needed if not.

#

and everything is there now
am assuming you use workshop eg to load mods. It's an example of it getting it wrong. I always prefer 'old school' to load addons via the cmd line.

low pasture Jul 5, 2024, 3:53 AM

#

wait, i thought that this question was about the pinned discord comments. but on my server it is loading the addons via a batch file to start the server. i have one theory here... i noted that i am listing my addon after cup vechiles... but not after cup units (maybe that could be a thing)....

#

dont know if that could lead to this kind of problem

hard chasm Jul 5, 2024, 3:54 AM

#

it may not be THE problem or any problem at all, but wrong all the same. Fix that bat file.

low pasture Jul 5, 2024, 3:56 AM

#

now the line looks like this:
start "Arma3" "arma3server_x64.exe" -bepath=BattlEye -mod=@ExileMod;@CBA_A3;@CUPTerrainsCore;@GreenSeaTerrain;@ChernarusRedux;@CUPVehicles;@CUPUnits;@CUPWeapons;@ExtendedSurvivalPack;@ZombiesandDemons;@SPCGExileCUPVehicleFixes;kart;heli;mark;expansion;jets;argo;orange;tacops;tank;aow -servermod=@ExileServer;@infiSTAR_Exile;@A3XAI;@Enigma;@AdvancedTowing; -config=@ExileServer\config.cfg -port=2302 -cfg=@ExileServer\basic.cfg -autoinit -enableHT -profiles=logs

#

@SPCGExileCUPVehicleFixes is my addon

hard chasm Jul 5, 2024, 3:57 AM

#

put greensea AFTER cups

low pasture Jul 5, 2024, 3:58 AM

#

ok

hard chasm Jul 5, 2024, 3:59 AM

#

and chernarus looks risky too.

low pasture Jul 5, 2024, 3:59 AM

#

hard chasm put greensea AFTER cups

that did not break before btw, but seems reasonable to do it. my server is runnig with that same start line (only without my addon) with no problems

#

but i will change it anyways... just in case

hard chasm Jul 5, 2024, 4:00 AM

#

it's called bullet proofing.

#

most notable are when it loads fine until another addon enters the boxing ring. then it becomes good on wednesdays crashes sometimes on mondays (dependent on the pure randomness of what gets loaded first)

low pasture Jul 5, 2024, 4:04 AM

#

looks like it did not work LOL

#

#

the message is different because i readded the pbos that i removed before

#

but that addon exists

hard chasm Jul 5, 2024, 4:05 AM

#

well the question to askis where the hell is aw_159

low pasture Jul 5, 2024, 4:05 AM

#

#

any tips on what am i doing wrong?

hard chasm Jul 5, 2024, 4:05 AM

#

coz it aint in the addon list above and it appears it aint called by other cups

low pasture Jul 5, 2024, 4:07 AM

#

hard chasm coz it aint in the addon list above and it appears it aint called by other cups

now it is, i inserted all cups pbos again, just to be sure that was not a bat load order problem

hard chasm Jul 5, 2024, 4:07 AM

#

to keep it simple, just add it to your addon list above

low pasture Jul 5, 2024, 4:07 AM

#

hard chasm Jul 5, 2024, 4:08 AM

#

in the bat file (sorry)

low pasture Jul 5, 2024, 4:09 AM

#

you mean, instead of loading cup vehicles in the -mod argument load each of its pbos?

hard chasm Jul 5, 2024, 4:09 AM

#

moment while i check....

low pasture Jul 5, 2024, 4:09 AM

#

ok

hard chasm Jul 5, 2024, 4:10 AM

#

start "Arma3" "arma3server_x64.exe" -bepath=BattlEye -mod=@ExileMod;@CBA_A3;@CUPTerrainsCore;@GreenSeaTerrain;@ChernarusRedux;@CUPVehicl
in here

#

the truth of it is that list can be random eg any order you like because the indivual mods in there will wait till needed ones load.

low pasture Jul 5, 2024, 4:12 AM

#

it is like this atm:
-mod=@ExileMod;@CBA_A3;@CUPTerrainsCore;@CUPVehicles;@CUPUnits;@CUPWeapons;@GreenSeaTerrain;@ChernarusRedux;@ExtendedSurvivalPack;@ZombiesandDemons;@SPCGExileCUPVehicleFixes;

#

my addon is the last one to load

#

but the problem persists

hard chasm Jul 5, 2024, 4:13 AM

#

put the aw in that list

low pasture Jul 5, 2024, 4:14 AM

#

it must be something i done wrong in my addon

hard chasm Jul 5, 2024, 4:14 AM

#

put the aw159 in that list

low pasture Jul 5, 2024, 4:15 AM

#

hard chasm put the aw in that list

but.... aw is a pbo inside cup vehicles. i dont think i can reference it there

hard chasm Jul 5, 2024, 4:16 AM

#

grrrr.......

#

i don't think it's you at all unless the addon >NAME< is not called that.

#

the nameOF a pbo is not used anywhere.

#

check with eliteness (eg) what the addon NAME is called

low pasture Jul 5, 2024, 4:19 AM

#

i dont know if this is what you are asking but....

#

#

lol

#

#

are you from CUP team?

hard chasm Jul 5, 2024, 4:21 AM

#

{
    class CUP_AirVehciles_AW159
    {```

#

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

#

Vehc not Vehic!!!!!!

#

there's the issue. change yours to above

#

problem solved

low pasture Jul 5, 2024, 4:23 AM

#

are there typos inside CUP? LOL is that it?

hard chasm Jul 5, 2024, 4:23 AM

#

yes

low pasture Jul 5, 2024, 4:23 AM

#

instead of vehicles its vehcicles

#

oh god!

#

lol

hard chasm Jul 5, 2024, 4:23 AM

#

yes

#

low pasture Jul 5, 2024, 4:24 AM

#

LOL

#

thats really funny, but also a pain in the ass, is there a way for me to see those names here?

hard chasm Jul 5, 2024, 4:25 AM

#

wdym?

low pasture Jul 5, 2024, 4:25 AM

#

hard chasm ```class CfgPatches { class CUP_AirVehciles_AW159 {```

where did you got this? because the way that i set my dependencies was just copping the PBO names... it seems that this is not the ideal

#

i imagine that is inside the addon config, but the one i got is binarized

hard chasm Jul 5, 2024, 4:26 AM

#

pbo NAMES are utterly useless they are NOT the name of the addon

#

use eliteness or extractpbo

low pasture Jul 5, 2024, 4:27 AM

#

i do have the pbo extracted with pbo manager but config is binarized

hard chasm Jul 5, 2024, 4:27 AM

#

nothing illegal in you looking inside. mostly for this reason.

#

pboMangler is a toy. use a tool

low pasture Jul 5, 2024, 4:27 AM

#

lol

#

ok

#

i will search for eliteness

hard chasm Jul 5, 2024, 4:28 AM

#

even bis thing if you must, but caveat emptor if you do

low pasture Jul 5, 2024, 4:28 AM

if you have a link, i would appreciate

@hard chasm how do i use this?

#

🤔

hard chasm Jul 5, 2024, 4:40 AM

#

dlbl ckick the pbo of interest

#

it aint tuff

#

first a scan (if u want) then an extract

low pasture Jul 5, 2024, 4:42 AM

#

it is giving me that "Error" in the right side window

hard chasm Jul 5, 2024, 4:42 AM

#

checikng your free version works. it should.

low pasture Jul 5, 2024, 4:43 AM

#

when i click the pbo a cmd window flashes on the screen, but nothing seem to happen.

hard chasm Jul 5, 2024, 4:44 AM

#

ahhhh ok mea culpa. you need to install ALL the lego blocks. Use the aio installer.

#

a promise here that you won't leave home without these tools. 🥸

#

bytex do a great job promoting/maintaining these tools but don't make it easy/obvious for 1st time users.

low pasture Jul 5, 2024, 4:47 AM

#

NOW WE ARE MOVING!

#

hehehe

#

it worked

hard chasm Jul 5, 2024, 4:47 AM

#

yay!

#

navigate to the folder it made (next to the pbo) and click on config.cpp

low pasture Jul 5, 2024, 4:48 AM

#

looks like i will spend the rest of the night unpacking stuff to make sure i am using the right names in my addon

hard chasm Jul 5, 2024, 4:48 AM

#

it becomes part of your workflow and becomes painless

low pasture Jul 5, 2024, 4:49 AM

#

btw, you did not answer, are you from CUP team or the %MIKERO% file is just a coincidence?

hard chasm Jul 5, 2024, 4:50 AM

#

it is unusual i was part of cwr1,2,3 which merged with cup and left only due to heavy commitments. I have nothing but praise for cup devs

low pasture Jul 5, 2024, 4:51 AM

#

oh, ok! hehehe, do you happen to know how can i disable the "treat yourself" action on ambulances from cup? or disable it from all instances of my server? at this moment i am not changing anything else then the cargo capacity from CUP but i plan to do more

#

basically this is what i am doing for each vehicle that i am using

#

but i was not able to find the attribute that enables units for healing them selves

hard chasm Jul 5, 2024, 4:54 AM

#

it is always a bad idea (tm) to alter things directly. Use a copy of as in:

class my_thing; thingy
{
   do whatever you want;
};```

low pasture Jul 5, 2024, 4:55 AM

#

i was doing a copy of it first, but that creates a new problem in my case, because my server also uses other mods that are compatible with CUP, such as igiLoad

#

if i create new classes, i would need to rework all of them to fit my classes

#

i was doing this first:

    class SPCG_CUP_B_MTVR_Repair_USMC: CUP_B_MTVR_Repair_USMC
    {
        maximumLoad = 3000;
    };```

#

but i noted the problem with igiload

hard chasm Jul 5, 2024, 4:56 AM

#

if you publish your mod for others it will be thrown in the trash bin and your reputation will suffer.

#

no one, not anyone, expects the core files to be altered.

low pasture Jul 5, 2024, 4:58 AM

#

i understand that. but i am not altering core files from cup, i created a addon that is dependent on CUP, that should be loaded after CUP to change some of its attributes. can you elaborate more on why that could be a problem?

hard chasm Jul 5, 2024, 4:59 AM

#

CUP_B_MTVR_Repair_USMC is not yours to alter.

#

it's not illegal to do so. the repercussions pay for it instead.
it's a basic noob lesson 101 mistake.

low pasture Jul 5, 2024, 5:01 AM

#

yeap, but even if i do a addon with a dependency on cup to keep compatibility with other addons? i am not like, publishing cup again with changes. i am publishing my own addon, that you would need to load after the original CUP that changes some of its configs.

igiload uses CUP classes to load VIV and boxes to vehicles

#

i REALLY dont want to do that with my new classes 😦

hard chasm Jul 5, 2024, 5:01 AM

#

i have no idea what an igload is.

low pasture Jul 5, 2024, 5:01 AM

#

too much unecessary work

hard chasm Jul 5, 2024, 5:02 AM

#

wbere is it un-necessary? mistake 102.

as you can see, it is compatible with cup, it makes it possible to load, lets say, a quad bike on top of CUPs Ural

hard chasm Jul 5, 2024, 5:05 AM

#

fine and good. why are you altering another persons config >directly<?

low pasture Jul 5, 2024, 5:05 AM

#

if i create new classes, i would need to rework all of that. what i am changing is just to make cup vehicles more unique and immersive for persistent missions like EXILE.

#

i am kinda adding to it, as i see

hard chasm Jul 5, 2024, 5:06 AM

#

i've said all i need to say.

chilly tulip Jul 5, 2024, 5:07 AM

#

We change base classes when they're clearly busted, like all the stuff with bogus baseWeapon values.

low pasture Jul 5, 2024, 5:07 AM

#

i would totally agree that would be bad to release a addon that i stole from cup as if i did it. but i am not, i am changing stuff to make it more imersive. just htat

#

🤔

hard chasm Jul 5, 2024, 5:08 AM

#

you will discover others won;t agree with you and in some cases, prevent the use of your mod on theit servers. If you don't follow why, find out.

low pasture Jul 5, 2024, 5:08 AM

#

i am really confused, even if i create a addon dependent on the original its not good?

hard chasm Jul 5, 2024, 5:08 AM

#

i never said that.

#

you are reading what you want to, not what's needed.

low pasture Jul 5, 2024, 5:09 AM

#

hard chasm you will discover others won;t agree with you and in some cases, prevent the use...

that is a real possibility, but i am creating it to my exile server to ballance stuff out.

hard chasm Jul 5, 2024, 5:09 AM

#

'nuff said. Why should i care?

low pasture Jul 5, 2024, 5:11 AM

#

i mean, i really dont want to break any community rules or look bad in any way, far from myself to look like i am stilling cup stuff, but from my point i am just adding to cup and creating configs to fit a survival environment better

hard chasm Jul 5, 2024, 5:11 AM

#

you are not creating configs, you are altering them.

low pasture Jul 5, 2024, 5:11 AM

#

yes]

hard chasm Jul 5, 2024, 5:12 AM

#

if it's all too hard, then do what you want..

low pasture Jul 5, 2024, 5:14 AM

#

low pasture i was doing this first: ```class CUP_B_MTVR_Repair_USMC; class SPCG_CUP_B_MT...

hmm, i mean... i can change back to this model if it is such a big deal. but that would make people need to add more classes to their traders, missions, and all... changing what cup have would make the server owner life way easier. and if one does not agree with my changes, its just a dependent addon that he dont need to add, his server would still need CUP, right?

hard chasm Jul 5, 2024, 5:16 AM

#

they can and should be able to leave your addon in the stable without actually using it while they play another mission.

low pasture Jul 5, 2024, 5:16 AM

#

but anyways... how i would be able to disable the "treat yourself" option?

low pasture Jul 5, 2024, 5:16 AM

#

hard chasm they can and should be able to leave your addon in the stable without actually u...

now i understand your point

#

that really can be a problem

#

that i did not think about

hard chasm Jul 5, 2024, 5:17 AM

#

not for others. yours gets trashed. forever.

low pasture Jul 5, 2024, 5:17 AM

#

that last point of yours makes sense

#

i will do it with the SPCG classes instead of altering cup.

#

that is a valid point, but i also think that if you join a server with a addon that it does not use, you will be kicked, i think

#

or not?

hard chasm Jul 5, 2024, 5:19 AM

#

do you have a url handy for cup? want to rause a ticket with them.

#

wtym?

hard chasm Jul 5, 2024, 5:20 AM

#

where on internet can i get to cup forums eg

low pasture Jul 5, 2024, 5:22 AM

#

nope, i dont have anything to that. i tought "treat yourself" option was on the vehicle itself or somewhere in my mission. because i noted that other places uses this option, like A3 medical tents or First AID item

#

at this very moment, the only problem that i have is with cups ambulances, that i was hoping to be able to change via config, but i have not found the attribute to that

#

so, it might be somewhere else

hard chasm Jul 5, 2024, 5:24 AM

#

what attribute= is it?

low pasture Jul 5, 2024, 5:25 AM

#

that is what i want to know. when you get close to, lets say, land rover ambulance, you are injured and the context menu brings "treat yourself" option so you can heal at the vehicle. i want to disable that.

#

but i was not able to find what enables that

#

atleast in config viewer

hard chasm Jul 5, 2024, 5:34 AM

#

wingrep is your very best friend. it will rapidly search thru any files and find "treat yourself"

Hello guys , I am making a kamikaze UGV and I got a little trouble , I attached some rockets for attack and some SatchelCharge_Fs for decorate the UGV but when I spawn the UGV in Eden editor and move it , I found I couldn't move along with those objects I have attached on the UGV (I will show some pictures), How do I fix it?

A part from the config.cpp here:

class Eventhandlers {
            class S37_UGV {
                init = "[_this # 0] call S37_UGV_fnc_initUGV;";
            }
        }

I call the function by Eventhandlers.

And here is the part of the function initUGV.sqf:

{if (_forEachIndex<8) then{
_obj = createSimpleObject ["SatchelCharge_F", [0,0,0]];
}
else {_obj = createSimpleObject ["Box_NATO_AmmoOrd_F", [0,0,0]];};
_obj attachTo [_BBtester, _x ];
_obj enableSimulation false;
} forEach _smobjPos;

_smobjPos is a list of coordinate relative position of the UGV.

Sorry if I post in the wrong channel , I post here because I think it can be fixed from config file.

How would i go about making a new "tab" in the properties windows in the editor of a specific vehicles? I'm making textures for a plane. There are several paintjobs and i want some paintjobs to also have unit variants without cluttering the units tab so i was thinking of having a new tab for each paintjob where you can select the different unit

#

i would i go about doing that?

hearty sandal Jul 6, 2024, 8:42 PM

bright leaf How would i go about making a new "tab" in the properties windows in the editor ...

if you want spawnable unit/thingy that is set to use certain texture just use the unit list

thats what it is there for

and if you have too many variants

dont make so many 😅

You'll need to define the soundsets:
SoundSetExplosion[] = {"GrenadeHe_Exp_SoundSet","GrenadeHe_Tail_SoundSet","Explosion_Debris_SoundSet"};
^ the grenade explosion sound sets take precedence if they're defined. Since GrenadeHand has them defined, your custom ammo class inherits the sound sets as well.

I’m not sure if this is the right spot but I’m looking for some help with my overall mod structure for my building mods. I’ve got my data folder and buildings packed into their own individual pbos each with their own config and cfgPatches. When I’m game edCat is there and even my buildings names and bounding boxes are present but the physical buildings don’t appear. If I pack the buildings individually they appear in game but not when placed into the same mod folder. Is there some multiple PBO magic I’m missing?

hard chasm Jul 8, 2024, 12:44 AM

#

EVERY p3d (building) needs to know where it's data (textures and materials) are. That location changes the moment you move that data some\where else. consequently 'some\where\else' has to change IN the p3d itself.

#

it's an insane situation that bis have never tried to fix by using relative addressing but you're stuck with the the insanity of a p3d needing to know which pbo it's placed in.

#

MoveObject from my toolset can fix this automatically for you.

Potentially an old obsolete method from OFP for changing the damaged texture effect - would be matched to the "user" value in Object Builders face properties (which now must be set to 0).
BI code uses predominantly material = -1;, although there are some occurrences of numbers between 50 and 60, but one assumes they have no effect and are legacy throwbacks.

I am configuring an MFD reticle through class MFD using a bone based on the impactpoint source. When shooting bullets/cannon rounds, the actual impact point and the reticle seem to have an offset that's a function of vehicle velocity. For example, with the reticle at a target closing at a velocity of about 500 kph, the rounds will go high and hit ~10 meters behind the target, while at low speeds (~100 kph) the rounds seem to hit closer, if not on target with the reticle. Does anyone have a suggestion on where to look for either my mistake, or some modification I'm missing to correct for this?

It may be a function of Angle of Attack, but I'm not sure on that either

is there a way in config to lock attachments to a weapon?

I need to config a weapon variant that has certain additional attachments to it in order to set it as a different classname, I was wondering if there is a way in config to define the attachment as "permanent" for that classname. I would really like to avoid making an additional p3d with those attachments in it.

Reseting the shape works, thats not the problem. The script that i am filepatching isnt updating though, and I have no idea why

gleaming sentinel Jul 11, 2024, 4:30 AM

#

Is there anyway to reset the config when using diag_mergeConfigFile? Right now if I add a line to the config and then delete it, that deletion doesnt actually happen because it just merges the configs together, ignoring deletiong and only caring about changes or additions

wintry tartan Jul 11, 2024, 4:33 AM

delete config command

gleaming sentinel Jul 11, 2024, 4:34 AM

#

Hm I cant find that on the wiki, could you link it?

wintry tartan Jul 11, 2024, 4:36 AM

#

delete displayName; like this

#

This removes the entry there

#

You cannot use delete along with declare IIRC so watch out of it too

gleaming sentinel Jul 11, 2024, 4:42 AM

#

Wouldnt I need to point it to the exact config and class though?

#

Or is that code put directly into the config/class?

wintry tartan Jul 11, 2024, 4:45 AM

#

Same way to declare, but just use delete, so it will remove the config there

gleaming sentinel Jul 11, 2024, 4:46 AM

#

Im sorry Polpox, im not understanding what you're meaning here. Could you provide more of an example?

wintry tartan Jul 11, 2024, 4:47 AM

#

If you delete displayName in B_Soldier_F, will remove displayName there

#

Similar to declare (displayName = "brabra") but just opposite

gleaming sentinel Jul 11, 2024, 4:49 AM

#

That isnt working for me, im trying to remove a line in a control, textColor, and just removing that line, or even commenting it out, doesn't actually remove it in runtime

wintry tartan Jul 11, 2024, 4:49 AM

#

delete can delete a class too

#

delete B_Soldier_F is also valid

#

Urm wait did I misread you?

gleaming sentinel Jul 11, 2024, 4:51 AM

#

So you're saying if I write "delete B_Soldier_F;" inside of my config file then it will remove it....?

You likely need the base game's loadOrder addon in requiredAddons[]= if you're modifying a base game asset. I'm not sure if only the dependency on CBA is sufficient

ashen chasm Jul 11, 2024, 5:58 PM

#

i mean. "cba_main" requires "cba_common" that has requiredAddons[] = {"A3_Data_F_AoW_Loadorder", "A3_Data_F_Mod_Loadorder"}; blobdoggoshruggoogly

#

which may (or not) get to conflict due to the latest vanilla loadorder being "A3_Data_F_Decade_Loadorder" tanking

untold temple Jul 11, 2024, 6:05 PM

#

I suppose A3_Data_F_Mod_Loadorder might be configured in such a way that it gets updated to put it after other core loadorders

yeah, that always the easiest solution. its just, idk, too much p3ds to achieve it haha.

I ended up doing mid-point with the classname swap upon add and removal of said attachments but without duplicating the models/attachments.

The purpose of this was to have different poses whenever a distinct grip type was being used or not in the bipod slot but for the love of me I could figure out how to do the animations for them using the gestures someone suggested me b4.

I used the same principle to do ugls and a couple other attachments without having to require hard modeling on that

novel lava Jul 12, 2024, 2:24 PM

#

oh you're doing that

#

you dont need this at all

#

you just need a config class for each weapon with the different handanim set

#

and use a script to swap weapon to this 'special' one when the grip is equipped

and swap back when its removed

No. Conditions would need to be applied to the animationSource via config/scripting.

untold temple Jul 13, 2024, 9:21 AM

#

Depends what you're trying to achieve. There's an objRandom source that can animate an object to a random point in the animation between minvalue and maxvalue but it's fixed at that value and any further animations of that bone are cumulative. And there's timeRndOffset which will play an animation in a loop with a random start position.

There's also something called userPositionHashedInit that's described as offering randomised init state, but I've never used it

autumn timber Copied from this: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Characters_And_Gea...

well you probably dont need the inheritance since you dont actually inherit evenhandlers from the parent

#

and actually

#

you definintely need to remove it

#

as that class eventhandlers is in completely wrong place

#

now you are trying to create a vehicle called eventhandlers

#

that will not work and will throw error

#

(must not copy paste without understanding what you copy paste)

autumn timber Jul 13, 2024, 2:31 PM

Alright, I'll try that

wintry tartan Is it possible? Yes it is! You see it as Futura. How? Script 😄

I mean- what config entries are used to make it have the charge function?

Hoping to save myself a few hours of sifting through config to find it 😄

#

Is it defined within the CfgWeapons entry for the cannon? Or is it defined somewhere within the Futura’s CfgVehicles entry?

What is the classname of your plane?

ruby cosmos Jul 14, 2024, 2:05 AM

#

Alright, so here is the basics:

I want this skin or just the texture to be in its own mod where I will have a custom faction.

It should not interfer with the original textures of the Unsung mod or either adds a paint texture for this faction.

ruby cosmos Jul 14, 2024, 2:05 AM

#

gleaming sentinel What is the classname of your plane?

Wdym

gleaming sentinel Jul 14, 2024, 2:06 AM

#

if you hover over the plane, there should be a name that appears under its name, might have some underscored init. Or right click and do Log>copy classname to clipboard

ruby cosmos Jul 14, 2024, 2:06 AM

#

Should've read that before I closed Arma, hold on.

uns_f100b_BMB

gleaming sentinel Jul 14, 2024, 2:08 AM

great

ruby cosmos Jul 14, 2024, 2:09 AM

However, Unsung has multiple variants with different loadouts for the f100

gleaming sentinel Jul 14, 2024, 2:09 AM

Are you familiar with packing a pbo?

ruby cosmos Jul 14, 2024, 2:09 AM

#

So do I have to make these configs for each one?

gleaming sentinel Jul 14, 2024, 2:09 AM

ah, no you probable dont, dont close the game yet

ruby cosmos Jul 14, 2024, 2:09 AM

#

gleaming sentinel Jul 14, 2024, 2:09 AM

gleaming sentinel Jul 14, 2024, 2:09 AM

a family reunion if you will

ruby cosmos Jul 14, 2024, 2:10 AM

#

Alright, yes I know how to pack PBOs

#

I have a PBO packer

wintry tartan Jul 14, 2024, 2:10 AM

#

Which PBO packer?

ruby cosmos Jul 14, 2024, 2:11 AM

#

gleaming sentinel Jul 14, 2024, 2:11 AM

#

no..

wintry tartan Jul 14, 2024, 2:11 AM

#

Okay PBO Manager is not the software you should use

ruby cosmos Jul 14, 2024, 2:11 AM

#

What should I use then

wintry tartan Jul 14, 2024, 2:11 AM

#

Addon Builder in Arma 3 Tools at least. pboProject by Mikero or HEMTT is preferred

#

PBO Manager is very notorious to make broken PBO

ruby cosmos Jul 14, 2024, 2:12 AM

#

Hasn't broken yet, surprisingly

#

Alright, I need a link to HEMTT

#

I have the Arma 3 tools though

gleaming sentinel Jul 14, 2024, 2:12 AM

#

It will probably be fine for JUST a texture, but if you're doing a custom faction then you likely wont like it

ruby cosmos Jul 14, 2024, 2:13 AM

#

Keep in mind I'm using ALiVE Orbat Creator for the faction part

#

Because I cannot be bothered to manually make a config

#

Edit one? Sure, but make one from scratch for a faction? Hell no.

#

Anyway, let me install HEMTT rq

#

Actually, let us just stick to Addon Builder for now

gleaming sentinel Jul 14, 2024, 2:15 AM

#

Once you do, for your vehicle, you're gonna inherit from the planes base class (its parent) and then you're going to use textureSources to create entries

ruby cosmos Jul 14, 2024, 2:15 AM

#

Actually, ehhh I'll install HEMTT

ruby cosmos Jul 14, 2024, 2:17 AM

#

gleaming sentinel Once you do, for your vehicle, you're gonna inherit from the planes base class (...

And just to be clear, this translates into uniforms, ground vehicles, etc?

#

For retexturing?

gleaming sentinel Jul 14, 2024, 2:18 AM

#

uniforms dont have the "Garage" feature so they will use hiddenSelections to define them

ruby cosmos Jul 14, 2024, 2:19 AM

#

I'm completely loss on how to install HEMTT.

#

I need winget but there is no clear exe to run

wintry tartan Jul 14, 2024, 2:19 AM

#

Basically rule of thumbs:

You only include config that you actually want to modify/alter/update
You only include files that you actually need in your config/Mod
Don't duplicate anything that is already existed

#

https://brettmayson.github.io/HEMTT/installation.html
If you can't really understand any of this, you might want to use pboProject which is more straightforward and GUI friendly, I guess

Installation - The HEMTT Book

Everything you need to build Arma 3 mods with HEMTT

ruby cosmos Jul 14, 2024, 2:22 AM

#

Ok, pboProject it is

gleaming sentinel Jul 14, 2024, 2:22 AM

#

if you're in a rush, pbo manager is great for quick and dirty, it does zero error checks though

#

nor does it binarize anything

ruby cosmos Jul 14, 2024, 2:23 AM

#

I'm not in a rush, I'm just new.

#

I fucked around with Orbat Creator and got some silly ideas.

#

Now I'm cold turkeying Arma 3 modding.

#

Ok, it's done

#

So, what now

gleaming sentinel Jul 14, 2024, 2:37 AM

#

now you need to make your config

ruby cosmos Jul 14, 2024, 2:38 AM

#

Alright, how

gleaming sentinel Jul 14, 2024, 2:38 AM

#

well actually, you need to know the parent class of your plane

ruby cosmos Jul 14, 2024, 2:38 AM

#

Ok

#

So how do I open PBOs with pboProject?

gleaming sentinel Jul 14, 2024, 2:39 AM

#

so you'll have to open the config viewer in game and find its parent

gleaming sentinel Jul 14, 2024, 2:39 AM

#

ruby cosmos So how do I open PBOs with pboProject?

you dont, pboProject is a pbo packing tool, pboManager can be used to open Pbo

gleaming sentinel Jul 14, 2024, 2:49 AM

CfgConvert?

you use the original plane class as the class parent

so where you have uns_plane right now

#

and that way your new plane will inherit everything from the original

#

and you just apply your changes on top of it

so name and hiddenselectionTextures

and possibly side and faction and editorcategories if those need changing

you put your folder with config and textures on P and pack it into pbo

so when you put your files in right place. and pack they match with the configs file paths

hearty sandal Jul 14, 2024, 10:10 PM

#

Your paths dont match the P drive structure

#

and you dont have unsung unpacked on there so its paths can be checked

#

so either you need to unpack unsung on there or make dummy files

fallen spoke Jul 14, 2024, 10:11 PM

#

is there a way to have a delay before firing a primary weapon. like a minigun or railgun?

hearty sandal Jul 14, 2024, 10:11 PM

#

in same way as the vanilla railgun yes

#

though miniguns dont have that delay

#

thats a movie myth

gritty storm Jul 14, 2024, 10:11 PM

hearty sandal so either you need to unpack unsung on there or make dummy files

Wdym by dummy files

fallen spoke Jul 14, 2024, 10:11 PM

hearty sandal though miniguns dont have that delay

yea but im moreso doin it for balance purpose

hearty sandal Jul 14, 2024, 10:12 PM

#

gritty storm Wdym by dummy files

empty txt file or anything youw want that is in same folders and named same

#

so the file check passes

gritty storm Jul 14, 2024, 10:12 PM

#

So what about the existing prt texture files

#

Which are in the file directory

#

I put in the config

hearty sandal Jul 14, 2024, 10:12 PM

#

fallen spoke yea but im moreso doin it for balance purpose

youll have to look into how the delay fire thing is done in the railgun tank

hearty sandal Jul 14, 2024, 10:12 PM

tru

#

i thought the files wouldve been locked XD

hearty sandal Jul 14, 2024, 10:14 PM

the script files should unpack just fine. or you can look into the config and the funcrion in the game config and function viewer

Oh they are materials

Like AO, Metalness, etc

Since that's the name of the engine

It's a text file

gritty storm Jul 14, 2024, 11:15 PM

Ahhh

#

So I need to add those rvmats to my file to get that shiny effect?

wintry fox Jul 14, 2024, 11:17 PM

#

You would path to a material, ideally in the model p3d

hearty sandal Jul 14, 2024, 11:18 PM

#

gritty storm So I need to add those rvmats to my file to get that shiny effect?

the model has default rvmats set on it in the p3d but you can set alternatives via hiddenSelectionsMaterials in config

#

if unsung already has shiny rvmat you can just path it to that

gritty storm Jul 14, 2024, 11:18 PM

#

So just edit those, add them to the mod file, and then add them to the config?

#

Also I would like to thank you for sticking with me on this.

do you need to edit rvmat file?

For the renamed as,ca, and smdi maps

I believe so

hearty sandal Jul 14, 2024, 11:41 PM

typically you dont need to touch those

since retexturing usually means you just change colors

unless you have made changes you want to apply

you can just use the original rvmats

springDamperRate = 200000; is very high - try springDamperRate = 35000;
longitudinalStiffnessPerUnitGravity = 100000; is very high - try longitudinalStiffnessPerUnitGravity = 12000;
Your class Wheels are missing suspTravelDirection[] = {0, -1, 0};
dampingRate and dampingRateInAir should be the same value.
Check you have numberPhysicalWheels = 16; set correctly somewhere in config.
Check you have wheelCircumference = 2.45; set correctly somewhere in config (metres).
Check you have maxSpeed = 40; set correctly somewhere in config (metres per second).
Unrelated, but centerOfMassOffset is not a valid parameter and does nothing in the vanilla game, as far as I can tell.

Those are some config related items that stand out, but the root of your problem is more likely to be p3d related (memory points or Geo Phys), so if the issue persists after you fix the config, come back here and note if anything improved or if it's unchanged.

I'd start at 1 and see how it goes. But you could end up at 1500, it's not an exact science. 6000 does seem too high.

drifting skiff needing help on RHS tank inheritance, to change the commander seat unit, code is...

    {
        scope = 0;
        class Turrets;
    };```
This is possibly wiping out the turrets from the RHS tank. Turret inheritance code tends to need to be "fully defined" or subclasses get lost. You might need to declare all the turret sub classes in the rhs parent, and then include the rhs grandparent.

#

(I'm not an expert on inheritance, turrets still confuse me to this day!)

it shouldnt wipe it out, that works with other RHS vehicles, the t-72 is just giving me troubles

i have it

yet shooting the missile wont activate the camera

i am using the exact same sensor/display config as on my hellcat variant- there it works fine

since the display works fine on the pilot, i'm blindly assuming it cant be a turret related property that is off

#

Only when I select the paint.

However, I don't want to just take it from the pbo.

So how do I make my config call upon that rvmat without manually moving it?

#

You did not unpack A3 data then? It is a vanilla file
