ah okay , so if the games config doesn't have it i am increasing my config length for no reason
thank you

well you'd need to check the section names of the .p3d file to see if there are potentially any section names in there for retexturing. But generally if BIS adds "camo" sections to the model for the purpose of retextuting, then one of the associated config classes usually has the hiddenSlections defined

I would like to lower brightness of HUD in helicopters in Advanced Flight Model. Could this perhaps be done with config?
kindred moss
afaik nobody ever tried to mod anything related to AFM so thats not going to be an easy task
humble raven
I just checked, the AFM HUD is the same as the standard heli HUD, with the addition of 5 dials -- perhaps it won't be so difficult once I know how to do this stuff
which reminds me, I have to ask: How do I get started learning to configure? I don't know how to begin at all
is configuring -- as opposed to scripting -- when you open that big editor in the 3D Eden Editor and click on the Config button? Then you see all these parameters, and you can modify them?

you cant modify them in that editor
you can only modify or create new onew externally with a text editor

Arma inheritance is way to complicated
jade brook
nope
stoic lily
yes
jade brook
by SMA_HK417 and scar_arma3
stoic lily
(and lack of requiredAddons probably)
jade brook
ace and bw are correct
idk about required addons. all of these are loaded after CBA
bw and ace are the correct ones... and I wrote both
stoic lily
class asdg_FrontSideRail: asdg_SlotInfo
and load order wouldnt matter
that is bad practice though too
jade brook
SMA_HK417 and scar_arma3 break it. ace and bw change it back
stoic lily
nothing gets broken
its just a warning
as i tried to explain you before the engine just writes the tree config by config
but it doesnt rewire it
if it would break things, BI would have made the compiler/parse stop the game from startup like with other errors
also you dont see functionality broken
the warning is important if you have actual change in inheritance like BI does now with Ruins
jade brook
it totally breaks things. SMA_HK417 and scar_arma3 have to add additional config entries to these classes that are not correctly inherited
stoic lily
like before it was meant to inherit from X, now it does from Y
jade brook
the addons are just written in a way where it works out
and ubc is not always harmless
it can lead to missing config values
and if the value is important enough, it will cause an error pop up
stoic lily
and it gets changed as BI loads first (unless one uses hacks or bin.pbo replacement in thise case) and thus defines the tree for anything to follow
stoic lily
like i mentioned last time do the relevant tests - isKindOf and if you can change a Car to Plane if you redefine its parent
jade brook
no dude
just wait for my example
discord died
this one. we made a mistake with the inheritance of HitPoints class and it caused every tank that was NOT from BW to have an error pop up
and since Arma is shitty, the error pop ups stop missions from loading
stoic lily
diff of your fix?
if you load before BI/A3 defines stuff, you can set the stage and cause such issues ofc
and this type of error isnt catched by the parser/compiler/engine (like several others); plus its a sample of bad coding from BI - no standard is set when definition is missing

Did leftDustEffects[] = Supports leftDustEffects[] +=? As for now on my Configs and ingame Tests, it looks like no, it ignores the whole part if i use leftDustEffects[] += to add own Surface Effects for a new island.
summer fulcrum
Yeah I have had multiple problems with DustEffects on terrains and I have had them working but once I started adding things they tend to just break for unknown reasons.
proud brook
@summer fulcrum i was have this too, actually my used solution is, to complete inlcude alle Effects from Arma 3 and CUP including my own.
And overwrite everything
summer fulcrum
Its weird I just tested things and for some reason my dust only works underwater lol
proud brook
lol
summer fulcrum
I have the issue of it only working on roads and underwater.
I'll do a lot of testing and see if I can find a solution within the next week.
summer fulcrum
@proud brook I have a working config if you want it, make sure you don't have cup or aia loaded when using the config otherwise it breaks the dust.
proud brook
@summer fulcrum thats caused by CUP since they overwrite everything, try to make Cup_world_dusteffects as dependency so your config will not be overwritten by CUP ;) and add the effects from Vanilla and Cup to the config, thats the way i was fix it, while some assets we use fromCUP
summer fulcrum
my map isn't going to require cup when it is released so no worries for me.
kindred moss
since they overwrite everything
if that is so thats bullox, should tell them to fix that
no mod outhere should overtake any root class and make others life a misery
this should be carved in somewhere
wild pasture
That's a little bit of an assumption to make. The += operator doesn't work properly for configs arrays that contain subarrays, so there isn't anything CUP can do. However, CUP currently doesn't have the Tanoa surfaces defined for that entry so that needs to be fixed.
stoic lily
is BI aware of the issue or they dont care?

I want to create a gray rectangle, mostly transparent, that I can lay near the bottom of the screen in game (so it will have the effect of making things behind it dimmer). Can anyone give me a hint to get started? So far I 've thought of tweaking a certain function ( https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BIS_fnc_AAN ) -- I can remove the text but I can't figure out how it creates the opaque rectangular background
At least i've learned how to call this function in a script and pass it my own text, or remove text altogether
jade brook
the new tracker screwed up my formatting : /
stoic lily
Make code blocks by indenting two spaces:
You can also use three backticks to enclose the code block:
You can specify a language for syntax highlighting with lang=xxx:
+= has no logic; its simply extends an existing definition (appends to an array) - if the parameter is not defined in the class, it will become in effect just a = (assignment)
the compiler/parser is dump and doesnt know about inheritance (hence you cannot rewrite inheritance either - you just overwrite that its defined for the given field)
the second example i find hard to believe - seems like BI screwed up big time there
jade brook
are you trying to say this is no bug? then re read the issue.
both examples show that. you are the only one who tried to explain it away. even the BI guy confirmed that it doesn't work and was only meant to work with grenades
wild pasture
I'll just make a separate ticket since it's technically two different issues.
This doesn't do anything
leftDustEffects[] += {{"CRConcrete", "LDirtEffects"}};
This incorrectly adds it to the array
leftDustEffects[] += {"CRConcrete", "LDirtEffects"};
So it'd be loaded as something like this
{"GdtGrassShort","LDustEffects"},
"CRConcrete",
"LDirtEffects",
{"GdtGrassShort","LGrassEffects"}
Yeah. Seems to be a different issue. Or part of the same. The implementation of += just sucks
stoic lily
stacked arrays seem bugged
your first issue commy2 is just wrong expectations - i agree that the implementation is poor/very simple, yet your assumption how it works is just wrong
just imagine an AIO config. now if you param += to a class where param is not explicitly defined, it will just write it in that line - the system is not capable to do an inheritance/parent lookup for the definition
your second issue is a bug, if it really turns out that way
as often BI tried a quick hack and messed up
jade brook
sorry, kju, but the first issue is not expected behaviour. I don't know why you try to find a fault in everything I say, but just carefully read what I wrote there.
I have no idea how you can say that that is expected behaviour.

scopeArsenal overrides the scope property if defined, but if it's undefined and scope = 2 then it should show up

Quick question in relation to the defines.hpp file for GUIs. When writing out '#defines CUSTOM_THING ####' what does the #### portion relate to. I've tried looking at examples from other mods but can't find any relation between them.

#defines wouldn't work either (there shouldn't be an "s").
#define someName someValue
#define ALPHA 0.5
Then when it's used you can just do things like
_color = [255, 255, 255, ALPHA];
Ok ya I know how the syntax all works I just want to know why it matters in relation to the defines.hpp file for a GUI becuase in every mod I've looked at there is no correlation between what is being referenced with the someName and the someValue that I can find between the my_gui.hpp file and anything else.

No, Senfo. Maybe it was closed immediately?

Personally I'd just use the newer SQF version:

no need for more ugly configs and you have some nice optional parameters

is it possible to modify a class if it's not inheriting from some other class
stoic lily
sure
edgy yacht
how?
stoic lily
config loading is just overwriting previous definitions
no magic involved at that stage
inheritance only comes into play when the engine takes over and the game is running
edgy yacht
let's say i have class CLASSNAME in cfgsoundshaders, and i wanna modify it with a patch, how do i do it
edgy yacht
did that, and what's next?
just add CLASSNAME {value = 1; } and it will modify the existing class?

well yeah, so other values that were there before will stay?
stoic lily
(specific access setting can stop some things)
you can either extend or overwrite
(remove via delete is very advanced/complex usage)
edgy yacht
how does it know if i want to overwrite or extend?

extend = parameter not defined so far (also not via inheritance) (same applies for subclasses)
overwrite = definition exists in prior loaded config

Can someone kindly advise me ... I want to rewrite the default inventory, but the layer order of the controls in RscDisplayInventory just stays the same as the original
any way to avoid or change that?
stoic lily
use new classes and delete/disable the old ones (idc=-1)
the initial load order determines the order - you cannot really influence that for BI classes
you would need to load before them, yet this can cause issues at times or turn out to be unreliable

I'm trying to add some custom Attributes to my vehicle. Does anybody know how I would populate the combo box with my data?

Or if you can point me to a more appropriate place to ask or get info. Have been googling this for days now. 😦

also whats your test env?
finally you can compare AA ammo from the other launcher i guess

it's worth to check maxLeadSpeed in cfgMagazines too

so if I want the RPG to be used against pretty much all targets, simply add in more flags?
yeah. although most of the lower flags are non functional. these should work. I did this for Bundeswehrs RGW90 and they do engage infantry with it.

Well I still want stamina sys. But I want it so say a fat Automatic Rifleman with all his weight can keep up with mr rifleman
So basically I want everyone to have the same stamina
agile flame
@wild pasture sure, why not
shadow sand
@thorn leaf maybe set the weight of the objects in the Inventory? Besides, that's what stamina isn't for. To have more realism than "Let's run together for exactly 15 minutes even if you have nothing but I'm carrying 100kg of cat food"
viral rapids
@thorn leaf With or without Addons?
*Note: nvm, if you "disable" the wight of the items by Config, you can load yourself full with... erm... everything (like 100 Launcher etc)
thorn leaf
With addons.. and I am not interested in the realistic aspect for this. I wanna do it so that if a squad is going to point a/b the heavy loaded AR isnt always lagging behind without the squad :)
And damn that sucks about the weight.
sullen fulcrum
@thorn leaf You would need to give every rifle, pistol, item type, uniform, backpack and west the same weight per "type", probably by creating your own rifle baseclass with a given weight and inherit your own rifle classes from it.
you would end up redoing probably all the cfgWeapon classes
maybe there is a smarter way i don't see right now...

Hi! Anyone know where exactly recoil needs to be defined in weapons?
A3 cfg has two different entries, one in the "main" config and one inside every mode. what's the difference? the one inside the mode overwrite the one in the "main"?
kindred moss
there is one main recoil inside weapon class that one is used for standard stances, and serves as base, and the ones inside firing modes closer defined recoils in different fire modes. AFAIK they will take over any other definitions if defined inside fire modes.
see cfgRecoils and Rifle_Base_F
vital torrent
weird because i've just a definition in the "main" and the modes are inherited, but they don't take over the "main" recoil
kindred moss
here is the example
recoilProne = "recoil_auto_prone_mk200";```this is defined in my LMG fullauto
recoil will change here when I go prone with it
while main recoil is recoil = "recoil_auto_mk200"; and that is used in all cases except when prone
vital torrent
recoil = "recoil_auto_mk200";
recoilProne = "recoil_auto_prone_mk200";
recoil = "recoil_mk200";
I don't quite follow, but probably i'm a bit tired and my english doesn't help.
From what you wrote, I understand that LMG full auto will work just when prone
kindred moss
no I said that recoil will change to recoilProne = "recoil_auto_prone_mk200"; when you go prone with the weapon in all other cases it will use recoil = "recoil_auto_mk200";
you can define different recoils for different fire modes and stances
when you get some rest check cfgrecoils in arma3 config, best to get All in one config dump
vital torrent
ok thanks!
vital torrent
that's exaclty what i was trying to tell you!
I've:
recoil = "fow_w_mg_recoil";
recoilProne = "fow_w_mg_recoil_prone";
class FullAuto: Mode_FullAuto {blabla}//not recoil def but inherit
but, it won't overwrite the main one
that's why i was so curious

Not exactly sure what channel to ask this in but does anyone know what, "model.cfg cannot have externs" means? It was produced by pboProject when packing a large set of models.

@summer fulcrum are you trying to inherit some class in model.cfg which should not be there?

I'm porting over a lot of a2 objects from the licensed data packs, will have to take a look and see if one of them are messed up.

summer fulcrum
yes everything is still pointed to ca\ if that is what you are saying.
kindred moss
then turn of check extrnal references in pboproject
but mind you your stuff wont work
wild pasture
The model.cfg cannot have externs error is trying to inherit something in your model.cfg that isn't defined anywhere
kindred moss
looks like hes got a lot more errors to deal with including \CA\ references
wild pasture
That's true, but that's not where his error is coming from at the moment
kindred moss
yeah while that is true after he gets it fixed it will stop there again 😉
now when I think of it... what did A2 had in model.cfg that A3 does not?
wild pasture
class CfgSkeletons
{
class Car;
Would give you an error for model.cfg cannot have externs, unless Car was defined in a model.cfg in a "more root directory"
summer fulcrum
so what about class Default; figured that would be defined somewhere within arma. New to model.cfg so I am a noob.
wild pasture
/someAddon/model.cfg
class CfgSkeletons
{
class Car
{
...some stuff...
;
};
Now /someAddon/someVehicle/model.cfg could have an extern
class CfgSkeletons
{
class Car;
};
In one of the model.cfgs for the Arma 3 Samples there should be an entry for class Default
kindred moss
{
class Default
{
isDiscrete = 1;
skeletonInherit = "";
skeletonBones[] = {};
};
class Vehicle : Default {};
class Car : Vehicle {};
};```ok thanks will mess with it a bit.
I was under the impression that class Default; was just a basic class being pulled from arma.
gilded lake
@turbid coral how and why is it better than say https://github.com/sqwishy/vim-sqf-syntax ?
kindred moss
indeed it is aswell as Vehicle and Car, but if you used Arma2 model.cfg those are not compatible with Arma3, so check the Arma3 samples to see how its done now, and adjust. Porting isnt really straightforward repacking.

@boreal heart Check you have "rebuild cfgPatches" enabled in pboproject

@eagledude4#5640 the cfgweapons class is just the inventory item for the uniform. The uniform itself is the unit class in cfgVehicles linked to the item with uniformClass = "B_SoldierW_03_f";

@ruby rampart I don't have that option in pboProject. Only rebuild RequiredAddons []= and even with that ticked I get the same error
My version of pboProject is x64U1.56
ruby rampart
I'd update it asap in that case and try again

I just did now pboProject doesnt work haha
Entry Point not found
Also I have the non sub version of his tools if that makes a sifference
Reinstalled all the latest, now shit works

Anyone know why my dammages on my custom vehicle don't go to 100% destroyed ingame? for example my vehicle "car setHit ["glass1", 1];" will make it destroyed but not remove the glass like it does in ObjectBuilder. Same with the wheels, 1 dammage makes them extremely popped but does not hide it and the destroyed wheel take its place but it again does so in objectbuilder, any tips or things to double check?
hasty ruin
@wise fog as I was going to type all damage that removes things such as wheels and glass has to do with animations for the hitpoints.
read here for more on that
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/How_to_create_destroyable_wheels
wise fog
@hasty ruin Thanks, I will double check there and see if I missed anything in my configs

No problem, hitpoints and animation sources are the key to the complete removal of wheels, glass, doors, etc in game due to dammage.

@jade brook I already told you about that and its related to dir="moddir" property in cfgMods
it happens to me too when I am testing my buiild with different folder name for mod than one defined in cfgMods
but I will investigate and get back to you, might be something went wrong in the last few patches
oh I dont use @ in dir=""
jade brook
but it doesn't work
bwa3, @bwa3, @bwa3_dev, lower case, uper case

what is moddir for you? just the @mod folder name without the @? it doesn't work in that case
and it wouldn't make sense either. the @ is just a modder convention
you can change that to ! like the workshop folder
or just use letters
kindred moss
what is moddir for you?
as I said I dont use@anywhere, my mod directory issafand incfgModsI havedir="saf"
if I change mod directory to something else like saftest it will spew that error
havent tested with @saf but I think that should be ignored as you said
ignored in mod directory but I dont think its ignored in dir="@mod"
not sure must check that one

what does sourceAddress:Mirror mean in the model cfg animations?
kindred moss
Use "loop" if you want your animation to "loop" (e.g. on wheels) or "clamp" if you want your animation to stop at a specific angle (e.g. on the steering wheel of a car).
sourceAddress Does the animation loop or not? This can be any of three different values: clamp (default), loop or mirror.

If I'm inheriting a skeleton from class:Plane_Base_F in the model.cfg, does the skeleton need to be defined in the model.cfg? If not where does the Plane_Base_F skeleton reside?
strange egret
skeletons are baked into the p3d when binarizing
You would generally just define your own animations. Just take the sample plane model.cfg as guideline and adapt it to your needs
astral rivet
I see, I am using the sample plane as a base. Looking at the A2 model.cfg for the Osprey it just inherets the Plane skeleton, I'm assuming the memory point definitions. I thought the skeleton for the base plane was in the A3/Air_f_beta
or maybe I'm just running myself in circles..

If I'm inheriting a skeleton from class:Plane_Base_F in the model.cfg
you ar emixing apples and oranges... you dont inherit from a config class to a model.cfg / models have their own subclasses and root clases which are not part of the 'visible' game config, they are baked into p3d during binarization and work from there. As some said above use the sample model (model.cfg ) from Arma 3 Samples ( Steam Tools ) and work from there. See how its done. Also > https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Model_Config

strange egret
my new damage model i'll be using for my total conversion
http://pastebin.com/wngsu6p3
stoic lily
@strange egret looks quite interesting. one has to test in practice to get a real feel for it i think though
do you want to avoid scripting in general/at all costs?
frank mulch
@gilded lake aaah, okay fail. Thank you 😃
strange egret
as much as possible, yes
it works pretty well for direct damage so far, might have to tweak explosion damage a bit. No scripts involved at this stage
stoic lily
like to script indirectHitDamageg oneself should be quite trivial - performance wise its certainly worse though
strange egret
the only script i would consider worth it for infantry would be for an overkill situation (middle of a bomb blast or so), which removes the body and all items entirely.
since i have the bodyarmor included in the uniform i can also use minimalHit property to make some bodyarmor truly immune to certain damage. Thanks to the better differentiation in arms and legs, and the meatbones firegeo for the limbs, this won't turn infantry into terminators (unless intended)
stoic lily
do you plan to release a demo or sample model for others to try?
strange egret
its very specific to my mod, so at this point i dont really see the need/benefit. My approach only works if you make a full conversion, including all weapon damage, firegeometry etc. The differentiation between knee and foot for example is only necessary if you need to include heavily armed infantry (like that http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/6/5152/63670.jpg - not my model). For standard soldiers with helmet and vest at best it's overkill.
Its really simple too. Nothing fancy.
if you want quick and easy improvement, changing meat to meatbones in the firegeo for all parts, and the changing dependency of HitBody to "+" instead of "max" (while adjusting explosionshielding to 1/4th of it's original value for all the torso parts)
there is an "issue" where bullets damage chest and diaphragm at the same time for example, leading to double damage. For me that is not a problem, i justify it as hitting something very vital (e.g. fractured a rib beneath the armor or damaged a vital organ).
stoic lily
well you didnt adjust ammo, if i got this right - so this should still be compatible with other mods or am I missing something?
and yes its mainly relevant to full conversions, yet there are a couple they could be interested (like us)
charred tangle
Hey @strange egret, i haven't followed your changes towards the damage model fully, but i've tested, in my opinion, the most broken thing atm - which is getting oneshotted into the legs/arms(without armored clothings). This is still possible (with 6.5 weapons or higher) and i wonder if thats intended.
strange egret
@charred tangle you have to change armor (the global value) to 10 and armorStructural to 1000 if you want to use it for vanilla. My weapons have 1/10th the damage
@stoic lily my weapons all have lower damage, and explosive damage is also changed
charred tangle
oh i understand, i thought the BR mod is using your damage model 😃 nvm then
strange egret
i dont even know what BR is for a mod 😛
charred tangle
battleroyale. But again, i miss undesrstood something 😃
strange egret
also, you can't use it on vanilla soldiers, as i changed/added hitpoint names.
ok so here is a sample p3d with new hitpoint LOD and Firegeo with changed materials for testing + the hitclass http://www.file-upload.net/download-12021446/HitSystemDummy.zip.html - its not plug&play.
i still think it's not really usable for mods that need to be compatible to vanilla
stoic lily

@sullen fulcrum you dont need to define this in every class, but just overwrite it in those that have it defined.

I'm trying to get to the BIS respawn screen Players saved loadout from the arsenal. I found a function of the Arsenal section where loads from profiles stored loadout but do not know how much good the programming language so I do not know what and how to write there.
this is part of Arsenal function:
//--- Load
_ctrlTemplateValue = _display displayctrl IDC_RSCDISPLAYARSENAL_TEMPLATE_VALUENAME;
if ((_ctrlTemplateValue lbvalue lnbcurselrow _ctrlTemplateValue) >= 0) then {
_inventory = _ctrlTemplateValue lnbtext [lnbcurselrow _ctrlTemplateValue,0];
[_center,[profilenamespace,_inventory]] call bis_fnc_loadinventory;
//--- Load custom data
_ctrlTemplateValue = _display displayctrl IDC_RSCDISPLAYARSENAL_TEMPLATE_VALUENAME;
_data = profilenamespace getvariable ["bis_fnc_saveInventory_data",[]];
_name = _ctrlTemplateValue lnbtext [lnbcurselrow _ctrlTemplateValue,0];
_nameID = _data find _name;
if (_nameID >= 0) then {
_inventory = _data select (_nameID + 1);
_inventoryCustom = _inventory select 10;
_center setface (_inventoryCustom select 0);
_center setvariable ["BIS_fnc_arsenal_face",(_inventoryCustom select 0)];
_center setspeaker (_inventoryCustom select 1);
[_center,_inventoryCustom select 2] call bis_fnc_setUnitInsignia;
};
["ListSelectCurrent",[_display]] call bis_fnc_arsenal;

_hideTemplate = false;

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Respawn:_New_Respawn_Screen#Loadouts_and_Roles
other than that its not possible to call user saved arsenal loadout here
also #arma3_scripting or #arma3_scenario is more suitable for this
easiest thing to do is to put empty amoobox where players spawn and add ["AmmoboxInit",[this,true]] call BIS_fnc_arsenal; to its init, so players can open arsenal and load what they want

you have wrong inheritance

instead you should define it in soldier class you are inheriting from

I've got it in my soldier class though. It's inheriting off of the 'B_Pilot_F'
Unless I make the event handler like a soldier then inherit from that?
I have 'class EventHandlers;' up the top where all the other classes are

class EventHandlers: EventHandlers
{
init = "if (local (_this select 0)) then {[(_this select 0), [], []] call BIS_fnc_unitHeadgear;};";

You don't put class Eventhandlers outside
