#

im just copying it from others configs and not sure if patching includes adding classes. I think arma will get parameter without mentioning

untold temple Mar 13, 2019, 2:36 PM

#

well strictly speaking, if it's a completely new param, it'll probably just merge the two configs so long as the classes and inheritance match. So the load order might not matter so much. But it's best to make an established load order to add your param after the config for that vehicle is loaded in to the game. And it'll stop people running the addon without the classes it depends on, which would throw out a bunch of other problems

hard jolt Mar 13, 2019, 2:38 PM

#

thanks thats what i thought aswell

outer sapphire Mar 13, 2019, 3:11 PM

#

is possible to use hiddenSelections on Uniforms?

#

when i try use that - and define in config hiddenSelectionsTextures - i getting default texture - defined in model

untold temple Mar 13, 2019, 3:16 PM

#

then you're probably not defining it in the right place

outer sapphire Mar 13, 2019, 3:19 PM

#

#define IT_INFO(X) class ItemInfo: UniformItem {uniformModel="-";uniformClass= X ;containerClass="Supply250";mass=40;}
    class girl_uni_1: Uniform_Base
    {
        scope=2;
        displayName="Uniform_girl";
        picture="\girl_cloth\pitgirl.paa";
        model="\girl_cloth\the_girl.p3d";
        hiddenSelections[]={
            "1body_texture",
            "1head_texture",
            "1face_texture"
        };
        hiddenSelectionsTextures[]={
            "\girl_cloth\tex\the_uniform_1.paa",
            "\girl_cloth\the_hear_1.paa",

@untold temple

untold temple Mar 13, 2019, 3:20 PM

#

and is that in cfgweapons or a unit in cfgvehicles?

outer sapphire Mar 13, 2019, 3:21 PM

#

class cfgWeapons

untold temple Mar 13, 2019, 3:21 PM

#

uniforms are character models once worn

#

all the hiddenselections stuff is defined there

#

the cfgweapons thing is just for the sake of inventory really

outer sapphire Mar 13, 2019, 3:25 PM

#

it turns out - I can not do multiple textures on one model of the uniform?

#

hm....

astral pagoda Mar 13, 2019, 3:30 PM

#

huh?

outer sapphire Mar 13, 2019, 3:30 PM

// Example from biwiki

class cfgWeapons
{
    class UniformItem;
      
    class U_B_soldier_new: Uniform_Base
    {
        author = "Splendid Modder";

astral pagoda Mar 13, 2019, 3:30 PM

#

you can

outer sapphire Mar 13, 2019, 3:30 PM

#

@astral pagoda i need define all hiddenSelections in character too?

#

or i can define my own hiddenSelections on uniform class only

hard jolt Mar 13, 2019, 3:31 PM

#

afaik hidden selection should be defined in model.cfg

hearty sandal Mar 13, 2019, 3:31 PM

#

ok so

outer sapphire Mar 13, 2019, 3:31 PM

#

yes, they defined

hearty sandal Mar 13, 2019, 3:31 PM

#

the character cfgvehicles class is what it looks like in game and walking

outer sapphire Mar 13, 2019, 3:32 PM

#

lol

#

not defined

#

😄

#

sorry

hearty sandal Mar 13, 2019, 3:32 PM

#

and thats where you set up hidden selections for that uniform/character

#

in the cfgweapons class you control what the uniform item looks like in inventory or unequipped on the ground

outer sapphire Mar 13, 2019, 3:33 PM

#

@hearty sandal as i understand - hiddenSelections in cfgVehicles - is for "naked" character?

hearty sandal Mar 13, 2019, 3:33 PM

#

and yes all texture sections must be listed in the model.cfg

#

no

#

each uniform has a cfg vehicles class

#

and each uniform can be their own unit

outer sapphire Mar 13, 2019, 3:34 PM

#

understand

hearty sandal Mar 13, 2019, 3:34 PM

#

basically you just swap what unit you look like when you swap uniform item

#

and the head proxy and identity system just keeps the flesh parts looking like you

outer sapphire Mar 13, 2019, 3:36 PM

#

but if i have 3 selections, and another character take that uniform - is can to be problem?

hearty sandal Mar 13, 2019, 3:36 PM

#

what selections?

outer sapphire Mar 13, 2019, 3:36 PM

#

body, head and face

#

textures

hearty sandal Mar 13, 2019, 3:36 PM

#

I dont understand

outer sapphire Mar 13, 2019, 3:37 PM

#

sorry for my poor english

hearty sandal Mar 13, 2019, 3:37 PM

#

its alright

#

normally a unifrom does not contain head model

#

it has a head proxy

#

that the game engine then loads according to the identity of the player/npc

#

and if there is skin parts like hands

#

those should be copied from the sample man

#

so that the skin color change works

outer sapphire Mar 13, 2019, 3:40 PM

#

on ordinary characters, only camo is defined, hidden selection, and in my character 3 selections will be described. In multiplayer, it may happen that another character takes this uniform. I can not understand - whether the textures - prescribed for this uniform in hiddenSelections - will be displayed on this character correctly

hearty sandal Mar 13, 2019, 3:41 PM

#

it will be if the uniform class in cfg vehicles for that item has the textures configured

#

just like if you pick up an any uniform in game

outer sapphire Mar 13, 2019, 3:43 PM

#

understand, thank you a lot! 😃

youre supposed to add the cfgPatches class names to that list

i am adding the array parameter for script

requiredAddons[] = {"A3_Functions_F"};
with that line everything works fine

grand zinc Mar 13, 2019, 4:23 PM

#

your mod might be loading before Wheeled_APC_F is created

#

inheriting from a class that doesn't exist yet doesn't work that well

hard jolt Mar 13, 2019, 4:23 PM

#

hm thanks

#

looks like i should add all main configs from vanilla

grand zinc Mar 13, 2019, 4:24 PM

Always put everything that you depend on in requiredAddons

hard jolt Mar 13, 2019, 4:24 PM

ie soft armor air

grand zinc Mar 13, 2019, 4:24 PM

#

no

#

there is one CfgPatches from vanilla that depends on all other vanilla things

you can just requiredAddons that one class and get everything from vanilla

I'm a bit of a noob in ArmA modding, can you simply re-declare vanilla classes in a mod config to alter some of it's properties without making a separate item? Such as editing vanilla weapon and vehicle stats and have it replace the actual item?

astral pagoda Mar 13, 2019, 8:01 PM

#

Sure you can 😄

hearty sandal Mar 13, 2019, 8:06 PM

#

@elfin temple while you can do that, you will not be able to use such modifications outside singleplayer or your own server.

#

just so you are aware

elfin temple Mar 13, 2019, 8:06 PM

#

what about with other people with that mod?

#

in mp

hearty sandal Mar 13, 2019, 8:07 PM

#

sure

#

but only on the server where it is enabled

elfin temple Mar 13, 2019, 8:07 PM

#

yeah, it's for our unit mods, so we can accelerate the boats for example and stuff

#

thanks for the info

#

One more thing, in that case, it it required to re-declare all variables/fields or is it enough to just put the changes in

barren umbra Mar 15, 2019, 9:47 AM

#

is it possible to animate a piece of gear on a soldier using scripting? I want to animate the night vision goggles so they are lowered (like when you are using night vision), I want to use the aperture to create a full color night vision effect (like in TPW mods), but since its just some PP magic on normal vision, the NVGs are not lowered.
So if there was a way to trigger the googgle lower animation it would be great. From what I seen the NVGs are actually 2 separate models that get swapped when they are in use or not

hearty sandal Mar 15, 2019, 9:51 AM

#

no that cant be done

#

all gear moves only with the .rtms

barren umbra Mar 15, 2019, 9:52 AM

Well I guess I will simply create a new NVG's with will completely 2 separate thing sand just swap them around

you can use that yes

there are many other pbo unpackers. But bankrev should be good enough

thank you

#

how long roughly will it take to process a file?

grand zinc Mar 16, 2019, 1:35 PM

#

between half a millisecond and a couple hours

#

depends on filesize

oof

#

this file is 24mb

#

and it has been going for i think 20 minutes now rip

grand zinc Mar 16, 2019, 1:46 PM

#

Might be that the author protected it to make sure you can't properly unpack it

mossy geyser Mar 16, 2019, 1:56 PM

#

i think that was the case, it worked with a different addon

#

If i want to make a faction addon using equipment from the base game or other mods, will i need to include anything other than the config file?

grand zinc Mar 16, 2019, 2:12 PM

#

You cannot copy other peoples stuff into your addon

#

you can reference their files. But you cannot just take their stuff and repack it. That's stealing

mossy geyser Mar 16, 2019, 2:28 PM

#

i don't want to upload files as my own or repack other addons, i want to use equipment that already exists to create units with a loadout of my choice. That said, i'm a noob and i don't know the best way of going about it so i assumed creating an addon would be a way of doing it.

#

could you explain what you mean by referencing other files?

grand zinc Mar 16, 2019, 2:34 PM

#

You just use other mods classnames then, in your units configs

tawny grove Mar 16, 2019, 3:08 PM

#

Would anyone be able to help me debug why some units don't show up as placable under Zeus but do in the editor? I've got some units that do show up and then some others that don't and I'm trying to work out why. Configs here:

https://termbin.com/bjxk -> shows up under 16AA Units (BFAs) in Zeus and editor
https://termbin.com/8ynl -> shows up under 16AA Units in Zeus and editor
https://termbin.com/wyz1 -> shows up under 16AA Units (BFAs) in editor but not Zeus

You'll probably want a difftool to be able to make sense of it...

grand zinc Mar 16, 2019, 3:10 PM

CfgPatches correct?

tawny grove Mar 16, 2019, 3:10 PM

CfgPatches class in your config

it has a units entry that has the classnames of your units

No it’s the little tape in the UI that shows a graphic representation of the current fire mode

#

how do you create a soldier who is armed with a weapon that has a variety of attachments?

#

it appears it is more effective to simply create a 'new weapon' that has those attachments by default, then assign said 'custom weapon' to the individual soldier...im having some issues getting this weapon to appear...i'll keep plugging away at it

Hi everyone! Who can explain to me about setting mass of magazine if cfgMagazines? I am confused by two params "mass" and "weight" with different values in the same magazine config.

weight is unused (edit: outside helicopters)

I got a question for someone who is hopefully more knowledgeable about uniform, vest, backpack, and headgear configs. I'm attempting to query by script what the side of the equipment is. Ie, is the player wearing Civilian gear, BluFor gear, etc. The value put in for side for most gear seems to be 3... which is civilian... and I'm pretty sure BluFor uniforms are not civilian. BIStudios seems to have a way to query it when they prevent you from being able to put on a civilian uniform as a BluFor.

#

I did have a thought about it being inheritance related, but I have not tested that yet.

candid flower Mar 17, 2019, 4:09 PM

#

you know i tried something like that @burnt roost

#

i tried to get a BLUFOR uniform onto an Independent soldier, but it failed because that particular uniform is locked to BLUFOR

#

when creating the uniform, the "modelSides[] = {0,1,2,3};" MAY help make the uniform useable by all personnel, but im not sure

#

creating a uniform is tricky because you have to make the uniform as BOTH a vehicle AND a weapon...

#

but someone more experienced with making uniforms might be able to answe this

#

@simple trout has made a number of really kickass uniforms for his DHI mod. maybe you can pick his brain?

#

also, for future reference, editorPreview = ""; creates the unit portrait in the Forces overview 😛 not 'picture' or 'portrait' XD

burnt roost Mar 17, 2019, 4:27 PM

#

@candid flower thanks! I will investigate the modelSides

burnt roost Mar 17, 2019, 5:10 PM

#

hmm, modelSides does not seem to be available in the config definitions for uniforms so that is not going to work for me.

hearty sandal Mar 17, 2019, 5:40 PM

#

model sides in the units cfgVehicles class if I recall right

candid flower Mar 17, 2019, 6:27 PM

#

indeed

#

creating uniforms is....odd...in my view

burnt roost Mar 17, 2019, 7:53 PM

#

yeah... looks like I will probably have to build a manual list of all the gear which is not fun

strange egret Mar 17, 2019, 8:22 PM

#

side=X; and modelSides in cfgvehicles tells you the side

#

if you take the uniform item (cfgweapon) you can extract the class name of the cfgvehicle

candid flower Mar 17, 2019, 8:41 PM

#

while were discussing creating things, im having trouble getting a weapon loaded with attachments to show up on a soldier. ive tried creating a new weapon based on dependencies, but only the rifle is showing up, not the attachments...

class CUP_arifle_M4A1_black;
    class GDIM4: CUP_arifle_M4A1_black // Should otherwise be scope 2 and displayName "M-4 (M68,AN2,S)"
    {
        class LinkedItems {
            class LinkedItemsOptic {
                slot = "CowsSlot";
                item = "CUP_optic_CompM2_Black";
            };

            class LinkedItemsAcc {
                slot = "PointerSlot";
                item = "CUP_acc_ANPEQ_2";
            };

            class LinkedItemsMuzzle
            {
                slot = "MuzzleSlot";
                item = "CUP_muzzle_snds_M16";
            };
        };
    };```

-Issue Resolved - there appears to be something wrong with the rifle I initially chose: the CUP M4A1...which means bad bad bad things...

simple trout Mar 18, 2019, 1:36 AM

#

@burnt roost The vehicle/weapon class thing is confusing but essentially the vehicle class of a uniform is actually a character and not a uniform or an "item" like backpacks, vests or helmets.

@outer sapphire I dont think changing vanilla objects is wise

#

why do you try to do so?

grand zinc Mar 19, 2019, 8:16 PM

Also use the tanks loadorder to make sure you are loading after ALL vanilla pbo's, and not just some

@hearty sandal I want to remove some unused objects

@hearty sandal
I do not know how to edit map altis, for this I am looking for another solution to the problem of unnecessary objects at the mod level

hearty sandal Mar 19, 2019, 8:29 PM

#

well you cant edit the Altis map. That would be impossible

#

and I dont think you can hide objects like that either

#

what you are trying to do is likely not possible at all

#

if you need to hide some specifc objects you should use the hide object module

outer sapphire Mar 19, 2019, 8:31 PM

i used, but that takes my fps 😦

hearty sandal Mar 19, 2019, 8:33 PM

@hearty sandal i used that to change building model on map

works

just changed model

@grand zinc used tanks loader, but nothing changed 😦 that pbo loading

you cant remove them like that

even if you can change the model

#

you cant remove it

hm...

if i use model with 1 poly?

😄

hearty sandal Mar 19, 2019, 8:37 PM

possibly.

#

but you do understand that the model can not be used in the editor anymore either

outer sapphire Mar 19, 2019, 8:38 PM

yes, i understand that

hearty sandal Mar 19, 2019, 8:38 PM

and you are not supposed to rebuild whole terrain in a mission

i will define objects with another class if they needed

hearty sandal Mar 19, 2019, 8:41 PM

if you place too much stuff in editor that will also eat your fps

just saying you are going about the whole mapping thing the wrong way

#

is return

Garbage_square3_F.p3d

grand zinc Mar 20, 2019, 10:58 AM

but on map i see vanilla model the model might be hardcoded into the terrain.

not all things on terrains have config classes that you can edit

outer sapphire Mar 20, 2019, 1:47 PM

#

@grand zinc maybe is possible to redefine path? with prefix

grand zinc Mar 20, 2019, 1:52 PM

Oof..

#

Not without copying tons of BI files which.. no.

thank you

hot pine Mar 20, 2019, 2:00 PM

only objects with class = house (or houseSimulated) can be potentially replaced on map via config

#

Garbage_square3_F is missing that since there is no reason to simulate that asset

outer sapphire Mar 20, 2019, 2:03 PM

#

@hot pine is not possible to change with model $PREFIX$ if i set ```cs
\A3\Structures_F\Civ\Garbage\

#

and place my changed models there

hot pine Mar 20, 2019, 2:07 PM

#

you could try doing it, I remember I did something like with ponds once and it was somewhat working

grand zinc Mar 20, 2019, 2:26 PM

#

prefix conflict replaces the whole other folder with yours. So if you want to keep some stuff. You'd have to copy it into your pbo

outer sapphire Mar 20, 2019, 2:45 PM

#

Should the prefix be the same as in the replaced one? Or you can specify the path to the folder I need?

grand zinc Mar 20, 2019, 2:47 PM

#

I don't know. Try out.
I just know same prefix replaces whole pbo (that was a fun bug to find...)

stoic lily Mar 20, 2019, 2:58 PM

#

subpath prefix works (somehow)

#

BI used that for plants2 for example. also some of the larger terrain

#

probably load order is important though

outer sapphire Mar 20, 2019, 5:38 PM

#

@grand zinc @stoic lily @hot pine thank you! Variant with prefix works with replace pbo

#

Subpath don't work for me, tryed a lot of variants

obtuse anchor Mar 20, 2019, 5:43 PM

#

I've used subpath replacement successfully (to replace muzzleflash tex). Don't know if it's the difference in terms of load order but it doesn't seem to hurt also having a config.cpp with CfgPatches.

#

Prefix a3\data_f\proxies\muzzle_flash\data to replace just that virtual-folder from data_f.pbo.

#

Then just the following in a config.cpp;

#

`class CfgPatches {

class ANZINS_MuzzleFlash {
    Units[] = {};
    Weapons[] = {};
    RequiredAddons[] = {"a3_data_f_sams_loadorder"};
    RequiredVersion = 1.88;
    Version = 1.00;
    Author = "Defunkt";
};

};`

cold raft Mar 21, 2019, 1:19 AM

Hello, I'm wondering if anybody may be able to assist me. I am attempting to use the init event handler in cfgvehicles to addaction to a crate. I have my addaction string of code working in the init box in editor, but when porting that to the config I am receiving errors, missing characters that are there. I suspect this is due to the quotation marks in the string, so Would anybody be able to point me in the direction of info on config.cpp string sanitation or escape characters. Would be greatly appreciated.

#

I attempted a search but was probably far too vague to find anything useful.

gritty rune Mar 21, 2019, 1:23 AM

#

@cold raft is your config somewhere to be seen?

cold raft Mar 21, 2019, 1:24 AM

#

Yup, sorry was just figuring out how to code block

#

This is the event handler, the issue is definitely here and I'm sure it's wrong

init="this addAction ["<t size='1.25' color='#FF9933'>Open Arsenal</t>",{["Open",true] spawn BIS_fnc_arsenal;}, [], 2, true, true, "", "true", 25];";
};```

#

Works in editor but I'm failing the transition to config

gritty rune Mar 21, 2019, 1:26 AM

#

@cold raft you cannot use " within "

cold raft Mar 21, 2019, 1:26 AM

#

I figured that was the issue, any way to escape the character?

gritty rune Mar 21, 2019, 1:26 AM

#

you can replace the inner " with ""

#

not sure if the overall approach is sound, usually an action is added via userAction to a specific object via config

#

e.g. addAction is a local effect command, so if you spawn your object on a server, there will be no visible addAction code in your object

#

or is it for single player only?

cold raft Mar 21, 2019, 1:28 AM

#

Well alright then... That is my exact use case... So what should I be using?

gritty rune Mar 21, 2019, 1:29 AM

#

here is a sample from the Nimitz: ```sqf
class UserActions {
class LandingStats {
displayName = "Show Landing Statistics";
position = "engine";
radius = 5;
condition = "true";
statement = "[this] call ttt_fnc_showLandingStats;";
onlyforplayer = 1;
};
};

cold raft Mar 21, 2019, 1:31 AM

#

Well using the double quotes got rid of the error, so thats exactly what I needed thank you! unfortunately the action doesnt show, so I'll just scrap that bit and look into UserActions

#

Thank you!

cold raft Mar 21, 2019, 1:54 AM

#

@gritty rune I've got it all transferred to UserActions and it's working great! Thanks for your assistance!

#

#

Hello again, does anybody know the best way to find a memory point name on a vanilla Arma 3 model? It may not even have one for all I know.
I am adding a user action, see above, and it is nagging for a memory point for position.

cold raft Mar 21, 2019, 5:16 AM

#

Maybe there are generic memory points that I dont know about, any help would be wonderful. Not sure configs is the right place to ask

hearty sandal Mar 21, 2019, 6:27 AM

#

@cold raft https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/selectionNames https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/selectionPosition would be the commands to help with that. Usually simple models do not have any so the position vill default to obejcts 0,0,0 origin

selectionNames

selectionPosition

#

I cant remember if the position argument of the action can take model space coordinates though so you could try that.

cold raft Mar 21, 2019, 6:53 AM

#

Thank you for the advice, I was able to get a list of the NamedSelections on a few items I'm working with, but a couple have none at all. It appears position will only accept a string according to the wiki, so I sent it an empty string "" and it actually worked. Stopped providing an error and defaulted to model origin. Could have tried that earlier, but it didn't occur to me until I checked what would be accepted...
Thanks again for your help

you'll get more help if you take more time over describing where you're at and, more importantly - because it shows you don't expect to spoon-fed, what you've tried already and what specifically you're stuck on. probably like most people, i don't have the time or inclination to knock up a tutorial describing every step of the process from where you appear to be right now (knowing nothing). look at the vanilla game or similar other mods and work out how they do it. more than likely you'll want to start with an AIO (all-in-one) config - a dump of the game's whole configuration tree; https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/191737-updated-all-in-one-config-dumps/ - assuming it's an existing vanilla vehicle you want to mod you'll probably find the optic definition inside class RscInGameUI.

so I noticed that on the MX rifle that the recoil defined in say the semi auto mode is this

recoil = "recoil_single_mx";
recoilProne = "recoil_single_prone_mx";

and the recoil defined outside of the fire mode class (not sure what to call it) is defined as

recoil = "recoil_mx";

and if I go to cfgrecoils I see that the recoil defined in the fire mode are arrays and the recoil defined outside of the firemode is a class. I read the cfgrecoils page on the wiki and it says that the array recoils is just there fore legacy. My question is why is it that the recoil in the fire mode is still an array and is there any reason besides legacy reasons. I was trying to change a recoil for a certain fire mode and it wanst working so I figured there must be a reason

Im having a issue where my helicopter "rotor" and "back rotor" are not animating when turned on. I double checked to make sure the selection names are ok so it seems to be a config issue(?). Would appreciate any help. https://pastebin.com/u9Z8Xhv2

hearty sandal Mar 24, 2019, 8:56 PM

#

I strongly suggest you use better folder and file naming

#

and choose your own TAG_ prefix that you apply to all your models and textures

#

also for model to animate you also need a model.cfg for it

topaz veldt Mar 24, 2019, 9:00 PM

#

It's only a temporary thing since i was following a tutorial, i want to get it working first so i know how to do it @hearty sandal . Also can't you just define cfgmodels in the config as i did?

#

Just tried porting the cfgmodel class over to a seperate file and it still does nothing

hearty sandal Mar 24, 2019, 9:14 PM

#

no

#

you need model.cfg file that defines the skeleton and animations of a model

#

just like in the samples

#

dont start inventing your own ways to do things

#

that will not work

topaz veldt Mar 24, 2019, 9:16 PM

#

Well i did that

#

And as i said, it still doesn't work

sullen fulcrum Mar 24, 2019, 9:19 PM

#

Must have done it wrong

hearty sandal Mar 24, 2019, 9:24 PM

#

indeed.

#

did you set the cfgModles class for your model to have the same name as your model?

#

ah its in your pastebin

#

your model.cfg class is called R22

#

but your p3d is called umbrella

#

this is why you should immediately start using proper naming

#

even for tests

#

so that you learn to put them right everywhere

#

how many crew does it have now?

#

and why have you configured it so in the first place?

topaz veldt Mar 25, 2019, 12:02 PM

#

What is the config property that defines how fast a helicopter "charges up" before it can take off?

sharp pagoda Mar 25, 2019, 12:05 PM

#

currently it has 3 crew members, gunnder, driver and commander. I'm using the tank sample config and editing it as i go

hearty sandal Mar 25, 2019, 12:08 PM

#

@topaz veldt I beliebe you would need to tweak the envelope[] = array

#

then remove the commander turrert @sharp pagoda

#

then it wont have that seat anymore

sharp pagoda Mar 25, 2019, 12:10 PM

#

have done that,, currently the only turret is the main turret

hearty sandal Mar 25, 2019, 12:11 PM

#

check the ingame config viewer that youa re not actually still inheriting the commander turret

#

and remove the commander proxies from the p3d

sharp pagoda Mar 25, 2019, 12:32 PM

#

i did some checking and i found one proxie, removed it. I didnt see any inheretence with the config viewer. Commander is still there :/

topaz veldt Mar 25, 2019, 12:35 PM

#

Hmm it seem's the envelope property has nothing to do with the chargeup time @hearty sandal

@topaz veldt whats your envelope now?

topaz veldt Mar 25, 2019, 12:37 PM

#

I just tried some extreme values going off of the wiki, both really low and really high. It definitely had a effect but not on the chargeup time

#

I'm wondering if there even is a way to affect chargeup time

hearty sandal Mar 25, 2019, 12:51 PM

#

Id say yes, just dont remember what it was if envelope tweaking didnt do anything

Here is the 3 classes that may be causing that

hot pine Mar 25, 2019, 2:19 PM

#

top down? 😄

#

didn't knew french tanks were so advanced 😛

#

anyway, try using 120mm magazine for that cannon first

#

you will be able to narrow down where the issue is

#

if it's working fine with 120mm shells then it means magazine or ammo is wrong

#

if not, then it's most likely something with weapon itself

sharp pagoda Mar 25, 2019, 2:54 PM

#

@hot pine I think the problem is with the main gun, since when i try to use the 120mm shells it just says 0 on the ammo count

hot pine Mar 25, 2019, 2:55 PM

#

well, if you switch magazine in cfgWeapons you need to make sure that proper magazine is present in cfgvehicles too

#

I guess you just changed magazine in CfgWeapons, right?

untold temple Apr 1, 2019, 5:30 PM

Nothing to do with the memory LOD

#

driver proxy is a driver proxy when it points to a model called DRIVER

and its index is the number after the name of the proxy

all cargo proxies end with the word CARGO, etc. etc

mem points are just to define where you get in to the vehicle from the outside, for a given crew seat

#

you might need to manually alter the indices using the rename window, if they are not pathed to the same model

#

but making custom proxies isn't really worthwhile, you may as well use the generic ones that BI made

sharp pagoda Apr 1, 2019, 5:38 PM

#

yeah im using pretty much generic arma vanila ones

#

also from where can i get the Action for the specific proxy. Like driverInAction or CargoAction

#

or that doesnt matter when im using a proxy

untold temple Apr 1, 2019, 5:39 PM

#

doesn't matter. The action is defined by the config, not the proxy

#

not really sure how to find the action name that corresponds to the visual representation of the character model on the proxy. Best hope is that the proxy name has some indication of what BI vehicle it came from and you can check the actions used on that vehicle in the config viewer

sharp pagoda Apr 1, 2019, 5:45 PM

#

hmm it probably is linked somewhere, thanks

#

Im also getting a weird thing where i can change seats from driver and gunner to cargo

#

and that isnt supposed to happen

#

and i cant access cargo from outside

hearty sandal Apr 1, 2019, 6:50 PM

#

the proxy in the model defines the location for it but its the Action parameters in the config that define what it looks like in game. Using same proxy as you set the action to makes it of course simpler to align the proxy as you want but its not mandatory.

Proxies can be found in P:\a3\data_f\proxies

#

seat changing is controlled with compartments arrays in different parts of the config. Each turret has it and the root class has it. Examples I think you can find in the cfgVehicles config reference in the wiki

#

and if you lack cargoGetIn/Out actions or memory points for them its unlikely you can get in to those seats

sharp pagoda Apr 1, 2019, 7:24 PM

#

I have added memory points for getting into the cargo seats and positioned them where they shoud be. I think the issue here is the compartments

hearty sandal Apr 1, 2019, 7:33 PM

#

are you sure your memorypoints are named the same in the config?

sharp pagoda Apr 1, 2019, 7:33 PM

#

memoryPointsGetInCargo = "pos cargoL";
memoryPointsGetInCargoDir = "pos cargoL dir";

#

same on my Memorylod

hot pine Apr 1, 2019, 7:35 PM

#

It's not an array

#

Nvm, it can be also string

sharp pagoda Apr 1, 2019, 7:36 PM

#

i havent defined compartment for my turret btw

#

but i think all shoud be accessable from the outside

hot pine Apr 2, 2019, 7:11 AM

#

you can post you whole config again - maybe mistake will be visible there

sharp pagoda Apr 2, 2019, 11:19 AM

#

New day, new coding problem :D. I fixed the 2 driver and gunner proxies and im currently doing the 2 FFV. 2 probelms rn. First they can only be accesssed from inside, when they shoud be only from outside. Second is that they dont go to their coresponding Proxy positions

Is there a tutorial for making Zeus modules? I have scripting experience but I find the BIKI docs lacking in this department. I made a module but it's not visible in zeus mode, only in eden.

grand zinc Apr 2, 2019, 12:01 PM

#

Make sure it's in your CfgPatches units entry

#

All the modules I've made I just looked at how other mods like ACE were doing it

elfin temple Apr 2, 2019, 12:03 PM

#

Yea, I took apart the achillies mod to try and see how it's done but there's walls-o-text so I'm struggling.

grand zinc Apr 2, 2019, 12:04 PM

#

ACE is easier to read than achilles.
But besides the first couple lines everything is the same anyway.
Once you got the params part of your script done you're basically set.
And you probably want to deleteVehicle your module at the end when it's done

#

Things not showing up in zeus is probably a seperate issue. Make sure your scope in CfgVehicles is correct, and that your CfgPatches entries are also existing and correct

elfin temple Apr 2, 2019, 12:05 PM

#

good idea about the delete. Yea I don't have a problem with the script itself it's getting it config'd properly

#

I'll try to pick apart ace

grand zinc Apr 2, 2019, 12:05 PM

#

Seems like with zeus modules scopeCurator is actually more important than scope

#

scope=1 and scopeCurator=2
scope hides in 3DEN, scopeCurator shows in zeus

roger, thanks!

Well removing the transportSoldier = 2 did get rid of the passenger seats, but i still cant access the ride on back seats

Coud it e something to do with gunnerCompartments = Compartment2;?

hot pine Apr 2, 2019, 12:22 PM

I'm wonder if animation is valid

the option add them is there

with correct names

To make a zeus module you place on a unit during a live zeus mission, you have to design the UI using the UI editor correct?

#

And put that in config @ curatorInfoType="";

#

is there any none scripted way to have a turreted machine guns movement/firing arc limited but its actual CCIP camera able to move freely?

#

so for a aircraft with a fixed or semi fixed cannon like the ka-52 can move its cannon within a limited arc, but its CCIP can move 360? and it can fire is missles in a larger arc?

#

also is it possible to make a ammunition alternate between HE/AP rounds without a scripted method?

hearty sandal Apr 4, 2019, 10:07 AM

#

camera and gun can be animated separately. must be done in p3d/model.cfg and config.cpp level thouhg.

#

Alternate bullets I think cant be done withouth scripts? Could be wrong.

#

I recall hearing RHS might do something like that?

#

maybe

hot pine Apr 4, 2019, 10:09 AM

#

yeah, I have things like that done in RHS Ka-52

soft pasture Apr 4, 2019, 10:12 AM

@hot pine was it done scripted? or do you mean you where able to do it using the p3d and the config?

p3d and config

soft pasture Apr 4, 2019, 10:12 AM

oh cool

what about the ammo?

hot pine Apr 4, 2019, 10:13 AM

#

you can use submunition

soft pasture Apr 4, 2019, 10:13 AM

#

and that will alternate the type of ammo?

hot pine Apr 4, 2019, 10:13 AM

#

you can set probability for different bullets

#

but it's not 100% precise since you are defining probability, not exact order

soft pasture Apr 4, 2019, 10:16 AM

#

ic that is very helpful thanks, is the RHS configs viewable if i download the RHS mod?

#

@hot pine the method you used for the KA-52 does that method break ai aiming? or can AI use the guns and missiles on it successfully?

wat 🤔
Any errors? or just no effect?

gritty rune Apr 4, 2019, 11:52 AM

no effect, we initialize the skins there, and when JIP on dedi the skins were gone. When I use spawn they are present

#

not sure I believe what I'm seeing

grand zinc Apr 4, 2019, 11:53 AM

#

skins gone?
setObjectTexture?
Did you try adding logging to the function to see if it's being called.
Maybe the code is executed, but skins are reset later.
call runs immediately at init EH the init might not be completely done yet.
spawn runs next frame or even later

gritty rune Apr 4, 2019, 11:55 AM

that's the function ...init_UH1: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/F2vyQZJTVy/

grand zinc Apr 4, 2019, 11:56 AM

I guess really is the delay thing then

seems with call it's executed on server and client, with spawn just on the client

gritty rune Apr 4, 2019, 1:56 PM

@hot pine the init script should be executed on the system where the vehicle currently lives, or? The old Unsung scripts executed the init scripts again and again on each system, this is why I check for !local and exit then

a plane with a player pilot drops bombs one by one, but when manned by AI and using bis_fnc_fire or fire, it drops all 8 bombs at once in a compact pattern. Is this some sort of AI fire mode of the weapon? Anyone aware how to fix this?

gritty rune Apr 4, 2019, 9:35 PM

#

seems to be in the modes for the weapon, I set it to non existing Single mode, I get a pop up but the bombs drop single: modes[] = { "Single" };

Crew proxies also need to be in the fire geometry LOD

gritty rune Apr 5, 2019, 11:49 AM

#

I checked, there was only LoalAltitude mode and it resulted in all 8 bombs being dropped in a compact pattern.

gritty rune Apr 5, 2019, 6:32 PM

#

finally tracked down why the bombs are dropped as compact pattern: ```sqf
class Pylons1 {
hardpoints[] = {SAB_SW_BOMBS_B_B};
displayName = "Bay 1";
attachment = "sab_8rnd1000_bomber_mag";
priority = 5;
maxweight = 8000;
UIposition[] = {0.1, 0.15};
bay = 1;

};

#

if you set bay = 0; the bombs drop one by one, if set to 1, they drop in a cluster

gritty rune Apr 5, 2019, 8:32 PM

#

yax solved it. The bay has an opening time: bayOpenTime = 3; the fire / bis_fnc_fire then stacks the bombs and releases them at once when the bay is finally open. Doing a first fire, then sleeping 3.2 seconds, the releasing the remaining 7 and it works fine

Does anyone know why PAAs for RscPicture have to be square? Seems kinda stupid how you make the GUI classes in 16:9(1920x1080), create the custom image/UI background in 16:9(1920x1080) and then have to convert it to the closest square of 2048x1024 to see it properly in-game. Surely there's another work around for the broken paa when using 1920x1080?

obtuse anchor Apr 6, 2019, 7:41 AM

#

Not broken, that's just how GPUs require image data (dimensions a power of 2).

#

Make it 2048 x 2048 if you're worried about the small upscale (1024 > 1080).

#

Generally a good idea to work at a higher resolutions when creating source images (so you always size down), say; 3840x2160.

Yes, i think

untold temple Apr 6, 2019, 11:03 AM

The config value doesn’t actually mean real world mass

#

ACE just made up a formula to convert it to something roughly similar

#

Your best bet is to find another object of similar ingame mass and use config viewer to discover the actual config mass

#

Or find where ACE published the formula. I can’t remember it exactly but you can work backwards from it

will it load the texture once, or multiple times?

untold temple Apr 6, 2019, 2:35 PM

#

multiple

#

section = draw call

#

texture should only be loaded to memory once, but it'll still be rendered on a different call for each of those sections

apparently nothing was wrong, just that I hadnt defined weaponslotinfo and there were sights attached to my weapon but was invisible, so camera was locked to center pivot. Didnt even notice they were attached, welp there goes my saturday facepalm

So i'm having a minor issue with backpacks and EventHandlers codes. I've created custom backpacks loaded with the ammo that I need for a given soldier, but I thought I might try bypassing that by using EventHandlers syntax to load a soldier's backpack in his CfgVehicles entry in the config.cpp file:

            {
            init="(_this select 0) addItemToBackpack ""CUP_200Rnd_TE4_Red_Tracer_556x45_M249""; (_this select 0) addItemToBackpack ""CUP_200Rnd_TE4_Red_Tracer_556x45_M249""";
            };
        };```

However, even with these codes applied, while the loadout properly appears on the soldier model added to a scenario from the Forces overview list, if this soldier isd controlled by AI, and is killed and then respawns, his backpack is empty...

I'm trying to figure out why...

I have a Dialog Control for a static text that appears to be behind all the other controls. What property do I need to change to have a control at the front?
This is the control:

    class CoopR_TaskBoard_Document_Recon_Label

        type = 0;
        idc = GUI_ID_TASKBOARD_DOCUMENT_RECON_LABEL;

I've made some reskins for the T-100, and I'd like to use edited rvmats with them, but I have no idea how to get the rvmats in while still retaining the original rvmats for the original skins. Does anyone know how to properly apply custom rvmats?

hearty sandal Apr 8, 2019, 10:12 PM

#

yes

#

hidden selection textures/materials in configs

idle matrix Apr 8, 2019, 10:19 PM

#

how do I use that in a texturesource class though?

#

I'd rather not make a new vehicle class for every reskin I make, and I also kinda want them to be useable on the vanilla vehicle

untold temple Apr 8, 2019, 10:24 PM

#

better to use texturesources than hiddenselectionsmaterials in fact

idle matrix Apr 8, 2019, 10:24 PM

#

I do use those

#

Applying skins is easy to me

#

it's the custom rvmats that are an issue

untold temple Apr 8, 2019, 10:25 PM

#

you make a separate array materials[]

idle matrix Apr 8, 2019, 10:26 PM

#

in the skin's texturesource class?

untold temple Apr 8, 2019, 10:26 PM

#

along with the usual textures[]= yes

#

this is a screenshot of a destroyed T-100

#

the turret is gone because of ACE, which isn't the cause, so don't worry about that

untold temple Apr 8, 2019, 10:33 PM

#

destroyed state will show up is you add your .rvmats to the vehicle's class damage, but damaged state doesn't work

#

unfortunately it's one of many limitations using custom .rvmats

idle matrix Apr 8, 2019, 10:34 PM

#

so there's no way around that? that kinda sucks, as I have a bunch of skins that are rather dark and the normal rvmats make them look far too shiny

untold temple Apr 8, 2019, 10:35 PM

#

no way around it AFAIK

idle matrix Apr 8, 2019, 10:37 PM

#

I had also applied custom rvmats to some warrior reskins I made, but while those do get damaged and destroyed textures, when destroyed it switches back to the original AAF skin

#

rvmats are weird

smoky kernel Apr 12, 2019, 3:49 AM

#

how important is it to config using external base classes (base classes that were defined by the base game) ?
i.e is it wrong/not recommended to use "house" on simple non-interactable custom objects, instead of using lets say "static" or "nonstrategic"? or when creating a building, what is the difference between house / structure / building ?

I'm not sure what is the whole purpose of pre-defined by the game base class names.

grand zinc Apr 12, 2019, 7:15 AM

#

In scripts people can use script commands to find all objects of a certain type

#

if they search for "House" they'll get everything that inherits from "House" and they probably expect to only get houses, not props or cars.

hearty sandal Apr 12, 2019, 9:17 AM

#

There may be different simulation types in use which can affect performance and behaviour

smoky kernel Apr 12, 2019, 9:22 AM

#

Ok, so its a prep work for possible scripts that will use commands like iskindof typeof etc...

#

More interesting what HorribleGoat says... Any read material on this?

#

Biki not even scratching the surface

grand zinc Apr 12, 2019, 9:25 AM

#

All inheritance does is inherit config entries from the classes you inherit

#

you can also create vehicles with zero inheritance by just copying every single entry that you would otherwise inherit

#

The main difference of the base classes are usually simulation types.
ThingX has physx, Thing doesn't.
Houses are static and aren't supposed to move, while cars can drive

scarlet oyster Apr 12, 2019, 2:09 PM

#

you can also create vehicles with zero inheritance

#

In theory, but not in reality: However some hardcoded stuff still exists that requires your vehicle to absolutely postively having to inherit from one of the baseclasses, as they are linked in the engine (Car, Tank, Man, House, etc)

#

I.e a house not inheriting from class house at some point does not work fully.

#

Very very similar how the engine knows about magic HeliH and it acting as a helicopter magnet without any other extra configuration parameters.

#

This is one of the engine code abominations that we keep dearly to our hearts and store it right next to Autocenter.

strange egret Apr 12, 2019, 2:42 PM

next to autocenter, which means center of origin will be at e^(pi x voodoo) and bounding box will approach 1+i x ∞

@fair hearth then you need to change it to the classname of the weapon you want to appear in Arsenal

@hot pine do you happen to have any info on how it could be used?

My config is still busted somewhere. It's not giving me any errors any more, it's just making the body invisible except head and wrists. I'm tempted to go back to the beginning and start from scratch. https://pastebin.com/5We55Hsi

texture not found maybe? is pboprefix correct?

night ocean Apr 16, 2019, 7:37 PM

#

As in Myaddon\addon\texture ?, I think so

grand zinc Apr 16, 2019, 7:39 PM

#

Did you set the pboprefix? If you thing that's just your @mod foldername then you're wrong.

#

In addon builder you can configure it in the options. And Mikeros tools read from $PBOPREFIX$

#

Aaah ok, that might be my issue then

hearty sandal Apr 16, 2019, 7:40 PM

#

actually Mikeros tools dont need probprefix anymore

grand zinc Apr 16, 2019, 7:40 PM

#

Well they can't grab the prefix that you want out of thin air

hearty sandal Apr 16, 2019, 7:41 PM

#

thats just what I've been told ¯_(ツ)_/¯
