ancient kernel
@here How do I make it auto load a mpmission on bootup?
It is on a Debian 9 Linux Ded server in LGSM
I have the start up parameters
-ip=${ip} -port=${port} -cfg=${networkcfgfullpath} -config=${servercfgfullpath} -mod=${mods} -servermod=${servermods} -bepath=${bepath} -autoinit -loadmissiontomemory -filePatching
Persistence is active
I followed everything I was susposed to do to make it work and it still loads into the creating mission selector screen.
Can anyone help?
ancient kernel
Only thing I found is:
// Server Mission Start
// minimum number of clients before server starts mission
voteMissionPlayers = 0;
Should I add this in (found on site):
// MISSIONS CYCLE (see below)
class Missions {};
grand zinc
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/server.cfg
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/server.cfg#Mission_rotation
the server will automatically select a mission when at least one player is connected
ancient kernel
If so, should I add it to the arma3server.cfg or arma3server.server.cfg?
grand zinc
whatever is your serverconfig
ancient kernel
In the class missions do I need just the name or the path
It is located in the mpmissions

how do i know what to put in hiddenSelections[]=?
ex. I was retexturing the vanilla guerilla uniform which has hiddenSelections[]={ "Camo","Insignia" };
but my texture only gets applied if I do hiddenSelections[]={ "Camo1","Camo2","Insignia" };
which is not what I see in the config viewer
grand zinc
how do i know what to put in hiddenSelections[]=? The mod makers puts stuff into there
If it is wrong. It's a bug in the mod. Or vanilla in this case?
elfin temple
this is purely a vanilla item
I though the config viewer was supposed to help with that
grand zinc
K then either report it on the #arma3_feedback_tracker website.
Or poke one of the BI designers that we have here who can probably make a quick edit in a few minutes ^^
elfin temple
or i just don't understand how hiddenSelections[]= work
grand zinc
hiddenSelections just tell the arma config, which selections that the model exports can be retextured
For that you need to know what the model does export
hot pine
where are you getting that hiddenSelections from?
elfin temple
config viewer in game is hiddenSelections[]={ "Camo","Insignia" };
hot pine
from where?
elfin temple
but actually only works with hiddenSelections[]={ "Camo1","Camo2","Insignia" };
class is I_G_Soldier_SL_F
hot pine
you can use https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/selectionNames to get all selections from model
elfin temple
roger thanks, how would I use that command on a weapon?
hot pine
hm, I think you would have to rely on cfg for that

Does BIS_fnc_ORBATSetGroupParams still work correctly? I cannot get it to work. I have an ORBAT constructed but I want to insert player names into the "Commander" field later on.
The examples I can find don't appear to run correctly, and it complains about argument types.
In one case, where the Wiki asked for string/number but ingame it requires a cfg path.
rustic cape
hey there, quick'n'dirty question : I edited an object from an addon in order to set its scope to 1. Then I created another object inheriting from the first one and set its scope to 2. Problem : both items are now visible in arsenal. If I remember correctly, setting scope=1 to a backpack must hide it in the arsenal. Am I wrong ?
grand zinc
correct. scope=1 should hide it
but I remember something about vanilla arsenal being bugged in that regard
maybe scopeArsenal = 0 not sure if that exists in vanilla too
Otherwise did you doublecheck your requiredAddons? and if your change applied in the ingame config viewer?
rustic cape
🤔 you're right sir, there is indeed a scopeArsenal parameter (and also a scopeCurator apparently). However I have no memory of dealing with anything like that, when I tried to hide things from the arsenal. However, as far as I remember, I always hid weapons, and I'm now dealing with a backpack, which is a vehicle. This might explain some things
novel rock
Hey ! Probably a stupid question here but IDK, neurons don't get the connexion to the solution.
- CarX vehicle
- has turret with gunner visible ext/int with turn-in option to protect himself
- only turnout can can shoot
- when in third person no free view, player can move mainTurret and not mainGun. So... it makes the turn-in proxy move when it should not because he is not actually manning the gun, so he is mouving out of his seat.
- turret can't be rotated in FPS (free view or aimed)

I'm trying to set armor for a balistic mask but I think the class HitFace does nothing/doesn't work.
I tried this :
class G_C_Masque_Balistique : H_Cap_blk
{
scope=2;
author="Artyom";
model="\HL_Equipements_Crm\masque_balistique.p3d";
displayname="Masque balistique";
picture="\HL_Equipements_Crm\data\ui\icon_h_c_Masque_Balistique_ca.paa";
hiddenSelections[]={"camo1","camo2"};
hiddenSelectionsTextures[]={"HL_Equipements_Crm\data\masque_balistique.paa","HL_Equipements_Crm\data\sangles.paa"};
class ItemInfo: HeadgearItem
{
mass=10;
uniformmodel="\HL_Equipements_Crm\masque_balistique.p3d";
modelSides[]={3,1};
armor=1000;
passThrough=0.1;

hiddenSelections[]={"camo1","camo2"};
hiddenSelectionsTextures[]={"HL_Equipements_Crm\data\masque_balistique.paa","HL_Equipements_Crm\data\sangles.paa"};
class HitpointsProtectionInfo
{
class face_hub
{
hitpointName="HitFace";
armor=6;
passThrough=0.5;
};
};
};
};
result : doesn't work 😦
So I tried this :
class G_C_Masque_Balistique : H_Cap_blk
{
scope=2;
author="Artyom";
model="\HL_Equipements_Crm\masque_balistique.p3d";
displayname="Masque balistique";
picture="\HL_Equipements_Crm\data\ui\icon_h_c_Masque_Balistique_ca.paa";

class HitpointsProtectionInfo
{
class Head
{
hitpointName="HitHead";
armor=6;
passThrough=0.5;
};
};
};
};
And it worked perfectly.
Sooooo, I just want to be sure if the problem is me or the class HitFace 😬
I used this as reference : https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Soldier_Protection
untold temple
Why is the class you are using called class face_hub?
swift depot
@untold temple because it's his name 🙄
untold temple
But it's not a recognised class in class HitpointsProtectionInfo
swift depot
class HitFace
{
armor = 1;
material = -1;
name = "face_hub";
passThrough = 0.1;
radius = 0.08;
explosionShielding = 0.1;
minimalHit = 0.01;
}
It's used like the others :
(that's from character_f/config.cpp)
So it's well defined
untold temple
HitpointsProtectionInfo classes are supposed to match the hitpoints classes they are modifying AFAIK
e.g. ```C
class HitpointsProtectionInfo {
class Head
{
hitpointName = "HitHead";
armor = 6;
passThrough = 0.5;
};
class Face
{
hitpointName = "HitFace";
armor = 6;
passThrough = 0.5;
};
};
That seemed to work for our Altyn helmet when I did it
swift depot
I can try this but it's weird that the class name doesn't match with the arma's config 🤔
I'm trying this and I'm keeping you informed
untold temple
Stuff like the Apex Viper helmet, CTRG helmet, fighter pilot helmet all have it as class Face
swift depot
Mmmmh, u right.
It seems that the documentation of the wiki led me on a false track.
strange egret
propably outdated information
swift depot
I almost forgot to thanks u @untold temple :p
novel rock
also take care, face_hub is the name of the hitpoint in hitpoints lod AFAIK
samples don't have it
it has been added "recently" so it's not in most uniforms models out there, if it's not there it's not going to work properly either
hearty sandal
face_hub is also a bone in the man skeleton all facial stuff is parented to

Hey gents, just wondering if anybody could help me set up config.cpp and model.cfg files for a rifle and sidearm, i've been away from arma for quite sometime and my knowledge of coding is lacking to say the least. I've been over the BI forums and the relevant config articles but for the life of me can't get it working any help would be appreciated.
stoic lily
what era are we talking?
probably best to take a mod config for such weapons as reference (RHS/CUP/etc)
craggy robin
current weapons, i've had a look at RHS and how they've structured their configs, however as far as i've looked all of their rifles are structured in one config file
how to structure the classes is what i'm struggling with

Its just a test Mod rn for vests but it doesnt show up in game
hearty sandal
Vests don't have vehicle part?
grand zinc
reads up on wiki
Wellll.. That's that then XD
Next try.
Your CfgPatches weapons entry is missing (now someones gonna tell me that's not required for vests)
Next try.
Try adding scopeArsenal=2 to your vest class to make sure it's allowed in arsenal.
LOAD(40,100) /// macro from basicdefines_A3.hpp
You never include basicdefines_A3.hpp in your file so that macro won't be defined?
Why do you change values in VestItem and Vest_Camo_Base classes?? Don't edit base classes.
Are you trying to make a new vest or a retexture?
If retexture you don't need to change the ItemInfo subclass.
class V_PlateCarrier1_blk; // External class reference Why do you have a base class reference that you never use?
Looks like your code should be using that instead of Vest_Camo_Base
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Characters_And_Gear_Encoding_Guide#Vest_configuration here is a example for a vest config.
hallow blaze
sorry i had to go out for a bit but this is a retexture of a vest that is being put into a mod
grand zinc
Don't need to make it so complicated then
class CfgPatches {
class avicii_vests {
units[] = {"TRG_Staff_Vest"};
weapons[] = {};
requiredVersion = 0.1;
requiredAddons[] = {"A3_Data_F_Tank_Loadorder"};
};
};
class CfgWeapons {
class V_PlateCarrier1_blk; // External class reference
class TRG_Staff_Vest: V_PlateCarrier1_blk {
scope = 2; /// scope needs to be 2 to have a visible class
hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"\avicii_vests\images\trgstaffvest_co.paa"}; /// what texture is going to be used

so i have a piece of code kju gave me that should make my vehicle select a certain texture base on the terrain thats loaded but im gertting an error everytime i try to compile it. can anyone help with this?
init = "if (worldName = 'iron_excelsior_Tobruk') then {_this setObjectTexture [0,"Bf_109e_retext\textures\tobruk1.paa"];};";
its mostly this part and im not sure how to set it up in the config file, like where to place it
grand zinc
you are trying to use quotes inside quotes
you already fixed it correctly on worldName by using single quotes instead of double quotes
do the same on the other quotes for the setObjectTexture
A quote starts and ends a string. So you are doing
"if (worldName = 'iron_excelsior_Tobruk') then {_this setObjectTexture [0,"
Bf_109e_retext\textures\tobruk1.paa
"];};"
While you should be doing
"if (worldName = 'iron_excelsior_Tobruk') then {_this setObjectTexture [0,'Bf_109e_retext\textures\tobruk1.paa'];};"
okay, i thought it would have to have been set up like the command itself with the normal quotes
and then where in the config would i place it? one sec i'll send the config
ope
cant send it here

i sent you the config in dm, i dont think its set up in my config as its a retexture of a mod. i didnt make the configs and im not very smart with em

welp im no good at either which explains why im so lost. im just a texture artist and my modding partner did all the configs and stuff. and he recently had to take leave and so im stuck on my own trying ot learn what i can
so how do i go about making it work then in my config file?
rotund zenith
in the world name part?
rotund zenith
init = "if (worldName == 'iron_excelsior_Tobruk') then {_this setObjectTexture [0,'Bf_109e_retext\textures\tobruk1.paa'];};"

look right?

I set in my server mod parameter @PreiKhmaochLuong; ?
Should my mission template also remove spaces. Because in the cfg in the template="mission.prei_khmoack_luong"
Should the I remove the underscores?
grand zinc
Rename the modfolder and your server start parameter, nothing else
grand zinc
yea

Ok quick question. I made a retexture and it still takes the old texture. I checked the path manually and the path is correct. (this is a macro that writes the quoted path in it)
class U_Tank_green_F;
class KAT_Tank: U_Tank_green_F {
displayName = "KAT Tank";
hiddenSelections[] = {"camo","insignia"};
hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {QPATHTOF(data\U_Tank_crew_F_CO.paa)};
};
100% sure vehicle supports hidden selections. and that name is really camo?
quasi sonnet
100% I copy pasted the lines from the config of the base class
quasi sonnet
I added a soldier because a friend said there is a need of this, but doesn't worked too
grand zinc
Well if base class hiddenSelections name is wrong, it will just use the texture in the model. so might not notice it
quasi sonnet
But then i do it with seObjectTextureGlobal and then selection 0 it works fine

Weapon animated fine when not aiming down the sight. Moment I enter the sights the weapon does not aim up and down. Additionally it appears the muzzle flash goes off the main model. Does anything in these configs seem wrong?
strange egret
so far i only see that
memoryPointGun = "S_machinegun";
memoryPointGunnerOptics = "S_gunnerview";
are not in the skeleton
i feel like its a model setup related issue, not config related
do you use proxies anywhere (not including crew positions etc)?
strange egret
ok. memorypoints and animations are clearly working (camera moves properly). Bullets also shoot in right direction), even in gunnerview i assume? To me this indicates that one LOD is different than the other. only logical explanation i can see
woven flax
Yes camera moves, Bullets shoot in correct direction when on the gun. Only LODs the model has that are visual are LOD0 and ViewPilot
ViewPilot is straight copy paste of LOD0
strange egret
you dont specify that its supposed to use pilot view
try adding
LODTurnedIn = 1100;
LODOpticsIn = 1100;
strange egret
hm ... then you need error isolation steps...
only thing i can think of to try is
LODTurnedIn = 0;
LODOpticsIn = 0;
LODTurnedOut = 0;
LODOpticsOut = 0;
(=use visual lod for eliminating lod differences )
if that fails copy doorgunner config of some vanilla thing and adjust memory things, see if config was problem. if thats not it its your modelcfg
woven flax
And to confirm these LOD go into the config in the turret itself right?
strange egret
yes

Thank you, i will keep working at it

gun memorypoints dont need to be in skeleton

Need some help with getting units to appear in Zeus with a vanilla reskin mod I'm doing. Some of the units are in the curator list, others are not. Specifically, I have created a blufor faction where the Strider, Nyx, Polaris, Zamak Trucks, Kuma, Nyx, F/A-181, Orca, and Mohawk are to be available. So far only the Strider, Polaris, and Zamak Trucks are appearing in my list in Zeus, with the Nyx, Kuma, F/A-181, Orca, and Mohawk missing.
What I've tried thus far with my config.cpp:
-Checked names of the units[]={}; and the class names of the units under CfgVehicles. No misspellings are to be had.
-'scope=2' is present for all units, which is to make them public. Also tried scope = public with no success.
-Adding 'scopeCurator=2' has not yielded different results
-Changed the order of the 'requiredAddons' portion of CfgPatches, with no change in results at all.
To be clear, all units are available in the editor. Just not in Zeus.

I actually just got it figured out. The vehicles were all correct, just transposed two portions of the class name for the crew, which is shared across all those vehicles. Working correctly now.

Do the muzzle flash and camera memory points for the gun (view, muzzle all those sorts of things) belong to more than one bone?
like is the muzzle flash proxy both in zasleh and maingun
untold temple
Should only be in maingun
and muzzle flash should only be zasleh
otherwise it's acting like those parts only have 50% weights
because you're splitting them over multiple bones

Is there a easy way to check if something belongs to more than one selection?

did you put the right addons under requiredAddons?
dim pumice
To be fair, I don't think so, how would that impact it? I don't really understand the implications of that field too well @idle matrix
grand zinc
It makes sure your addon loads after the addons you require
You are inheriting from rhsusf_m112_mag for example, which works fine if your addon loads after rhsusf.
If it loads before rhsusf you are suddenly inheriting from something that doesn't even exist yet

Could someone answer a few basic questions for a complete config noob? What is the difference between ShellCore and ShellBase? The config for B_30mm_AP looks identical to B_30mm_HE, but the latter has an explosion impact Fx. What is the config value that determines this?
untold temple
explosive

Thanks. I assume that if explosive = 0, the class inherits a default bullethit?
untold temple
Something like that yes. >0 is certainly necessary to have any kind of explosive pfx

Is there a config for ordinary bullethits?
I see that 12.7mm rounds have a craterEffects value for some reason
But nothing that seems to handle their particle effects on hit
untold temple
bullet hit pfx are determined by the surface they are hitting
.bisurf files detail their impact="hitMetal"; soundHit="Metal";
impact being the ammo's hitefects

ah, so there is actually only one kind of bullet impact in the game, and it is stored in the surface itself?

Got a bit of a theoretical question for anyone willing to help not quite sure how to word this but I'll do my best
Let's say I wanted to inherit an array and add to it. Is it possible to do this without having to include everything in the sub class array that already exists in the parent class? Is it possible to basically say "Hey, maintain that array but add this to it"?
Crude example of what I want
class eventhandlersBIGdank
{
init[] = {""dank script 1","dank script2""};
};
class eventhandlersLITTLEdank : eventhandlersBIGdank
{
init[] = {"dank script addition"};
};
So basically the end result would be
init[] = {""dank script 1","dank script2","dank script addition""};
+= allows you to append to arrays. But can't you just make another eventhandler subclass?
civic tartan
It never even occurred to me to try that ._.
Thanks so much for the help though
@untold temple Just to clarify
class eventhandlersLITTLEdank : eventhandlersBIGdank
{
init[]+ = {"dank script addition"};
};
Would give me the desired result?
untold temple
pretty sure there's no space between the + and =
init[] += {...};
there are limitations on it though. IIRC you can't do things like class A { array[] = {aa}; }; class B: A { array[] += {bb}; }; class C: B { array[] += {cc}; };
civic tartan
Alright I'll give that a shot, if all else fails I can just define a second subclass for the eventhandlers as you said (too tired to think of these things lol)
Much obliged for you help man tyvm

Provided your requiredAddons is correct
GM iltis inherits Car which already has ace interaction on it.
mortal maple
Unfortunally that does not work, i have been expirmenting the past 2 days trying to fix it, this is one way i tried before
Dont ask me why tho 😄
grand zinc
required addons correct? Checked result in config-viewer ingame?
ace actions should not be using inheritance and you will break things once ACE adds a official compat addon
mortal maple
requiredAddons[] = {"cba_main","ace_main","gm_core"}; ?
grand zinc
ace_interaction
also ace_main already includes cba_main
and you need the gm class that actually adds that vehicle
I assume that's not gonna be core
mortal maple
ah okay
grand zinc
I assume gm_vehicles_land_wheeled_iltis_ge_bgs_k125 is the one that adds the iltis
mortal maple
I guess so too
I`ll check again
Well, it does add Ace_Actions, however ACE_MainActions remains empty
grand zinc
removed all your ace_MainActions that had inheritance?
If you do nothing at all, you should still see this https://github.com/acemod/ACE3/blob/master/addons/interaction/CfgVehicles.hpp#L322 in the iltis in config viewer
mortal maple
This is the whole cfgVehicles, https://hastebin.com/bilatavohe.cpp basicly what you said is done now (i guess)
grand zinc
you have 0 actions inside ace_mainactions
you place all of them in ace_actions which is wrong
mortal maple
No, they are not supposed to be in main actions, as they are supposed to be spread around the vehicle
mortal maple
There is MainActions, in there are Cargo, Get In, Passenger etc. Now those Actions i defiend are f.e. at the rear of the vehicle to remove the cover of the truck (I have those working already ingame). However the Mainactions which are usually there arent anymore
Like there is no Passenger, Get in etc
grand zinc
Okey... Then.. Only difference I can see to ace is missing selection entry, but that should default to ""
Is the mainaction interaction point still there? but there are no actions inside it?
grand zinc
requiredAddons correct now?
If you don't load your mod, are there ACE_MainActions inside the vehicle class then? There should be
mortal maple
"ace_main","ace_interaction","gm_vehicles_land_wheeled_iltis_ge_bgs_k125"
and yes there are
its like i overwrite ACE_Mainactions
Thats why i had this weird interherince, because it would always overwrite mainActions
grand zinc
Oh. https://github.com/acemod/ACE3/blob/master/addons/interaction/CfgVehicles.hpp#L355 there is inheritance. But up at the Car class there isn't.
But why 🤔
mortal maple
I dont know 😳
Because Car is the source and all other inherit from it?

@silver aurora Yes but thats just sound. Can are there simelar things for other stuff. Like Dlight profiles in my case.

Is there a way to break a line in class MFD text component? Something like \n ?

Is there a maximum amount of turrets to a single vehicle?
hearty sandal
Never heard of one.
How many do you have?
I've had 20 or so
Or was it 30
A lot anyways
Model. Cfg has bone limits though
So that limits it
So 2 bones per turret a minimum with 256 bone limit makes 128 turrets the maximun

Not counting FFV turrets

What would be the quickest way to intercept a fired missile and execute some code on it?
Right now I do an execVM in the class Eventhandlers (Fired).
In this sqf I make the missile orient itself with the pitch of the turret (since the missiles originate from the missile memory points.
Or is there a way to make the missiles originate from a launcher touch (which animates) in a native way?
the usecase is the Apache. Where the missile pylons pitch tona certain degree with the gunner turret
untold temple
Dynamic loudout missiles launch from their proxy rather than missile memory points
maiden lodge
Ah so when I implement dynamic loadout...its kinda solved
untold temple
same for rockets and guns
maiden lodge
right?
untold temple
yeah, most likely
I certainly know that FFARs on our A-10 fire at a different angle from the centreline pylons, to the ones on the wing fire at because the proxy orientation is different
you can even see the CCIP move when it starts firing from those pylons
older behaviour was just firing straight forward from the rocket mem points
woven flax
@hearty sandal projected to be 10 with FFV stuff. Was curious. Thank you :)

Does anyone know if it's possible to give submunitions an initial, random velocity (within certain bounds)?
The wiki only mentions 'parameter submunitionInitSpeed sets the submunition init speed directly (in m/s)' which just results in the submunition going north at the velocity specified.
grand zinc
Maybe submunitionYRandomizationAngle and similar?

Thanks - that with a combination of submunitionConeType = randomupcone with appropriate cone angles have got me what I was after👍

add THIS to your configurations to use a uniform that otherwise you seem to be unable to use
class EventHandlers { init="(_this select 0) forceAddUniform ""-the uniform syntax-"""; };
undone geyser
@candid flower thanks a bunch
candid flower
like, if you're trying to use a uniform that normally is in use by BLUFOR, it wont show up on OPFOR soldiers depending upon how you define your base soldier class 😛
so you need to run the EventHandlers command to force a uniform onto a soldier
i had to do the exact same thing to get my uniforms in my mod to show up properly

Ive been messing around with trying to add a custom weapon to the pylons for my plane, but each time I go into game the weapon does not appear.
{
class Pylons1
{
hardpoints[] = {"B_MISSILE_PYLON","B_ZEPHYR","B_BOMB_PYLON"};
attachment = OPTRE_bomblauncher_500lb;
priority = 5;
maxweight = 2000;
UIposition[] = {0.35,0.08};
};
class Pylons2: Pylons1
{
hardpoints[] = {"B_ZEPHYR","B_MISSILE_PYLON","B_BOMB_PYLON"};
priority = 3;
attachment =OPTRE_bomblauncher_500lb;
maxweight = 4000;
UIposition[] = {0.34,0.18};
};
};```
Am I missing something? I have never really worked with pylons before so any insight is appreciated.what does the "priority" entry control? a friend of mine was working on weapon modifications...
@north sluice
untold temple
Release order when using the same weapon
Weapon will expend magazines from a pylon with higher priority before switching to a pylon with a lower one
but if two pylons share the same priority the weapon will alternate between them until the mags empty
There's also a script command to set priorities ingame
So if you want symmetrical release, you usually want pylons on opposite wings to share the same priority
north sluice
Thanks for info, i will store that for later. However, its hard to drop bombs symetcriaclly when you dont even have bombs dropping from your model XD
untold temple
That was to Commander A9
Your problem looks like it's because you're using a cfgweapons classname instead of the cfgmagazines one
OPTRE_bomblauncher_500lb is, I guess the weapon, rather than the magazine
north sluice
Ah ok i will look into that and report back

Having an issue with two vehicles, B_GEN_Offroad_01 and B_GEN_Van_02_transport_F where they wont change their selection texture.

both of them have their textures set via VhC - https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Vehicle_Customization

woven flax
Not sure where to put this one.
I made some custom hydra type rocket pods.
When you shoot the missiles everything works fine, however the missile pod doesnt hide the rocket after shot. Is this handled in a model.cfg for the rocket pod itself or on the vehicle its assigned to? Currently the setup is using ArmA pylon system. Is there any examples I can poke around in?
untold temple
Proxies for the rocket ammo in the pod need to be pointing to some model that has a cfgNonAIVehicles class containing simulation = maverickWeapon;
You can make your own cfgNonAIVehicles class for your rocket .p3ds or use a BIS model path. Doesn't matter
woven flax
@untold temple Sorry for delay, this is what I have. https://pastebin.com/3LiK8nhL and still no luck so far.
The proxies look like this https://gyazo.com/60f59e5acfac851af7cf1c6e64899f29
Any idea where im likely going wrong?
hearty sandal
It may be that the proxy class name might need to correspond with the p3d name
cant remember exactly what the issue was when I tackled it but might have been that
woven flax
Hellfire_Missile.p3d is the p3d.
ProxyPylonPod_Hellfire_Missile_F is the classname im trying.
No luck
hearty sandal
when in doubt look at the All In One config
also your stuff does not need the _F
its for separatating Arma2 stuff from Arma3 stuff
woven flax
Oh shit thats new to me...
strange egret
the F is for respect
hearty sandal
came up just the other day xD
woven flax
So you were onto something @hearty sandal
Its working now, but the static model is taking something else i have no idea where from.
https://gyazo.com/643627cafed3805873f8888ae00895ae
{
model = "ML700_Vehicles\Missiles\Ammo\Hellfire_Missile.p3d";
simulation = "maverickWeapon";
};```
Proxy on the missile rack for the ammo is calling \ML700_Vehicles\Missiles\Ammo\Hellfire_Missilethe missile model ingame is from the cfgammo class
proxyShape
model on the other hand is the .p3d used when the munition is fired
woven flax
@untold temple Im a bit lost.
ammo.cfg contains model = "ML700_Vehicles\Missiles\Valkyrie_Hellfire_fly.p3d";
Magazine has the actual rack itself, which contains the proxy for the ammo inside it
My gyazo above shows the p3d ammo being changed from the \ML700_Vehicles\Missiles\Ammo\Hellfire_Missile to something else completely
when static the rocket is wrong
untold temple
yeah, hence the proxyShape parameter I mentioned
woven flax
when its fired it then changes to correct p3d
untold temple
e.g. for a bomb class rhs_ammo_fab250_m62: rhs_ammo_fab250 { model = \rhsafrf\addons\rhs_airweapons\rhs_m_fab250m62; proxyShape = \rhsafrf\addons\rhs_airweapons\rhs_m_fab250m62; sideAirFriction = 0.1; };
woven flax
ah i see
@untold temple @hearty sandal Thank you again, that was the fix. I am assuming its the same steps for a rocket pod. Creating a proxy location for each ammo part etc.
hearty sandal
if you want the rockets to be visible then yes
hearty sandal

woven flax
Is there something special that needs to be put in for a weapon with a 1 rnd ammo count? All my weapons with 2+ are showing correctly.
Ive tried simulation = "pylonpod"; and simulation = "maverickWeapon";
untold temple
The magazine is the one that should have a pylonpod simulation. Even if there is no physical pylon mesh that attaches the missile to the airframe, the magazine model should point to some p3d that contains a proxy for a maverickweapon, even if it is just a .p3d containing a proxy.
woven flax
{
model = "ML700_Vehicles\Missiles\Ammo\ML_RocketPod_Missile.p3d";
simulation = "maverickweapon";
};
class ProxyML_Hellfire_Missile: ProxyWeapon
{
model = "ML700_Vehicles\Missiles\Ammo\ML_Hellfire_Missile.p3d";
simulation = "maverickWeapon";
};
class ProxyML_Hellstrike_Missile: ProxyWeapon
{
model = "ML700_Vehicles\Missiles\Ammo\ML_HellStrike_Missile.p3d";
simulation = "maverickweapon";```Thats in class CfgNonAIVehicles
The ProxyML_Hellfire_Missile and ProxyML_Hellstrike_Missile work fine. The ProxyML_RocketPod_Missile is invisible until shot
untold temple
Yeah, those would be the ammo proxyshapes
woven flax
I have the proxyShape in the CfgAmmo
class ML700_M_Rocketpod_Rocket: M_PG_AT
{
model = "ML700_Vehicles\Missiles\Valkyrie_RocketPod_fly.p3d";
proxyShape = "\ML700_Vehicles\Missiles\Ammo\ML_RocketPod_Missile.p3d";
untold temple
yeah but you still need a pylon model defined in the magazine
woven flax
Oh im a fuckin idiot
Nope wait im not
I have it correct

mirrorMissilesIndexes[] = {2,1,4,3};
hardpoints[] = {"ML700_B_MISSILE_PYLON"};
pylonWeapon = "ML700_missiles_Hellstrike";
};```model = "ML700_Vehicles\Missiles\Valkyrie_Hellstrike.p3d"; this needs to be something else
woven flax
That is just the p3d that contains the proxy for the missile
Like I have for my other two weapons which are functioning correctly
Does something change with this because its a 1x?
untold temple
The proxy needs to have an index number 1
woven flax
ProxyID is set to 1
untold temple
and what does the proxy point to?
woven flax
\ML700_Vehicles\Missiles\Ammo\ML_HellStrike_Missile
untold temple
And the vehicle has a proxy on that wing pointing to?
woven flax
Yep that wing works fine with all other weapon systems
untold temple
pylon and missile models have autocenter 0?
woven flax
example of working systems https://gyazo.com/987595f7f330c3041c001adb038e0441

Valkyrie_Hellstrike has autocenter 0
untold temple
oh, you might not want this mirrorMissilesIndexes[] = {2,1,4,3};
woven flax
Do you know what that actually does?
untold temple
yeh, it determines the release order on magazines that fire more than one round
woven flax
Im guessing the # is the proxyID?
woven flax
I will try to remove that when i get home and see if there is any effect
Ill get back to you in about 30/ Thank you for the help so far as always 😃

So say I have a bunch of textures all pretty much like

When working with structured text controls is there any straight forward way of executing SQF code when clicking a link?
- The
<execute>tag which is usable in diary records does not work here. - The
OnHTMLLinkeventhandler only fires for a link whose target url starts withhttp:,https:,ftp:orgopher:. But then the url is opened in the associated application (if there is one), too.
Therefore the only somehow viable way I found is using a link starting withgopher:and hoping that there is no application associated.
Anyone got a better solution?

So im trying to make a weapon with different recoils for different fire modes. So what I have done is I inherited from the MX rifle to play around with it.
I looked at https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/cfgRecoils and if I do,
class CfgWeapons
{
class MyRifle
{
recoil = "my_awesome_recoil";
};
};
It works fine, but the recoil is the same regardless of which fire mode the gun is in.
If I put the recoil in the fire mode like this
class arifle_MX_F;
class recoil_testing_weapon_base_1:arifle_MX_F
{
class Single;
class FullAuto;
};
class recoil_testing_weapon: recoil_testing_weapon_base_1
{
displayname="RECOIL TEST WEAPON"
scope=2;
scopeArsenal = 2;
class Single:Single
{
recoil = "no_recoil";
recoilProne = "no_recoil";
};
class FullAuto:FullAuto
{
recoil = "lots_of_recoil";
recoilProne = "lots_of_recoil";
};
_generalMacro = "recoil_testing_weapon";
baseWeapon = "recoil_testing_weapon";
};
I get this error,https://imgur.com/a/VKQSBrM
saying that the recoil is not an array.
So do I have to convert that recoil class to an array and if so how would I do that?
heres the cfgrecoil
class CfgRecoils

class no_recoil

muzzleOuter[] = {"0", "0", "0", "0"};

I didnt think it would be relevant since i just copied one of the base arma 3 recoils and changed numbers

I don't know if any of those are allowed to be strings, I've never looked at CfgRecoils so I could be wrong.
toxic solar
I did an AIO dump and saw that some of the vanilla ones, or I think all of them,where strings. Something about it being faster at doing the math
what I do know is that if I define the recoil for that weapon not in the fire mode but in the root of the class, im not sure if thats the right word, it works
but I cant seem to get it where each fire mode has its own recoil

? and that is supposed to work? init speed 10 μm /s
that seems bogus

well
don't you think I tried 40,30,20,10,1,0.1m/s ?
I just lowered lowered and lowered until it made absolutely no sense
and it never worked

maybe because your airfriction is bonkers

same for airfriction, I lowered until stupid values

with custom base classes you should list them as well or do a config dump... who knows if there is something misconfigured in them

alrightz

what about LIB_TankCannon_base?
novel rock
only changes aiDispersionCoef

ill try my ballistic sheet to get some sensible values in your range

no scripts?

here is the config dump of the weapon
In config viewer magazine has initSpeed = 463; 🤔
strange egret
aha...
novel rock
can you feel the pboproject not rewriting the pbo ?
strange egret
theres a setting that should work for you https://abload.de/img/2019-05-1718_01_25-wia6krj.jpg

TY
I'm investigating why the initSpeed doesnt get overwritted when I rebuild the pbo
it's correct in the pbo and wrong in config viewer
abandon ship
hearty sandal
could some other pbo contain overwriting config?
novel rock
no it's a brand new class
I think I'm just going to purge all temp files ever and reboot
novel rock
¯_(ツ)_/¯
rebooted, cleared everything, removed manually the pbos now it updates

Did BI add the ability to use pylon mounted machine guns?
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Vehicle_Loadouts
States on the page "future-compatible with non-missile equipment such as fuel tanks, pylon mounted HMG, electronics equipment,..."

Gun pods mostly work. They don't generate gunfire particles and light sources though
brazen merlin
well, there already is a pylon mounted machine gun

anyone around who can tell me where the "LanguageENG_F" etc. identitytypes values are defined?

well, duh
but where is "LanguageENG_F" coming from
ok, dubbing_ for some reason it was skipped
actually dubbing_.._exp is what i was looking for
thanks, got it now

Does someone happen to have a config for a tank where the points are English? Instead of podkolo or something it would be trackl_1 or something. I keep losing track of which part is which
strange egret
you can do that yourself. just search and replace...

You know that would actually work

Is there an easy way to run some script when user performs some interaction with an item in the inventory?
I don't even thing arma inventory has such functionality
I just see useAction and useActionTitle in some classes
grand zinc
arma 2 inventory somehow had it
I think I've seen it in A3 inventory too 🤔 but was some highly experimental not really usable thing. If I even remember correctly
grand creek
oh god how can an arma 3 inventory be such a 90% finished thing
that's why everyone invents his own listbox with food/whater/etc items over and over I guess, otherwise it all would be in inventory

how to import music into the music module in zeus
hearty sandal
The inventory works fine for what it's made for.
strange egret
except it would have so much more potential if it was more "open"
just like radar/sensor stuff... if you want to extend upon it, you cant, and have to start from scratch
hearty sandal
oh sure

quick question about tankTurnForce. hows does it affect the turning of the tank with its value. I.E. Higher value does what, lower value does what?
strange egret
higher value quicker turning
stoic lily
@languid mountain best to extract mods that do it already to see how its done
sharp pagoda
aah i see, how much does tankTurnForce actually have?
How important is for the physX?
strange egret
no turnforce no turning
sharp pagoda
well yeah, obviously, but i presume that turning is a lot more complex
languid mountain
@stoic lily and how would i do that?
stoic lily
@languid mountain get free mikero tools (eliteness/extractPbo)

I am terrible at UIs. Which control type and style do I need if I want a text-only multiline box with vertical scroll and automatic newline functionality for words that don't fit on a new line?
have you set the lineSpacing property of this control class?
languid mountain
ok and i download the ArmA3p.1.50 one?

kju: time to script a custom inventory
I have added a double-click event handler to the inventory's list boxes, I think it's fine for now
HorribleGoat: The inventory works fine for what it's made for.
Yes it's good but it wouldn't hurt to add some 'use item' functionality to it, so that it could execute some script from item class's property 🤦 It's such an obvious thing, I am surprised BI have never needed this for their single player campaigns
strange egret
they didnt "need" to because they always used clunky action menu or the "call support" number thing
grand creek
I remember in Arma 2 campaign I had to pick up map or something like that from a killed enemy
For the story 🤔
strange egret
well yes but you only transfer the iteom from enemy to your inventory. interacting with map is with M key

Trying to work out if I dreamt this or not. Is there a way to define what "type" of aircraft the AI is flying (such as bomber, fighter, etc.) that will change the way in which the AI will control the aircraft?

Hello !
maiden lodge
When making pylons, I need to define 'Hardpoints[]={}' in both the class components and Magazines.
I cant figureout the relation with them
neither where the content of hardpoint is defined....
untold temple
Magazines will go on any pylon where values in the Hardpoints arrays match
so long as the magazine weighs less than the pylon's weight limit
untold temple
yes
maiden lodge
ok
untold temple
and it should also be accessible by other vehicles that have DAR for their hardpoints
you can write anything you want in the pylons arrays really. Even the hardpoint names of other addons you'd like your mag to be compatible with
maiden lodge
riiiight ok thnx
going to check now
what does the attachment parameter in the Components class do?
the default weapon?
untold temple
default magazine yes
maiden lodge
ok
ok it partitially works
wait ...saving the config.cpp after making changes might help... 👀
I cant make the weapon control dependable on the pylon's weapon, right?
i.e. Hellfire is always for the gunner. Rockets for the pilot
pylons are fixed to one crew
maiden lodge
ok I want to stay away from scripting for this project so...lets not then
@untold temple last question for tonight ...I have models for the pylons and everything. but How do I setup the proxies in the aircraft's P3d
untold temple
point them to some model that has cfgNonAIVehicles simulation = pylonpod;
maiden lodge
ah ok thatd easy
maiden lodge
wait..
the cfgNonAiVehicles....should be in the model cfg then??
undone quiver
What does secondaryAmmoCoef do?
I noticed it applied to the AT soldiers in the All in One config.
maiden lodge
hmm wondering whats wrong then
untold temple
does the classname match the .p3d name? e.g. as class proxyP3DFILENAME
stoic lily
@grand creek nice one 😃 mind sharing the code snippet please? i tried to get mouseIn/Out EH and tooltips going but no dice
maiden lodge
Ok I cant see whats wrong
the proxy in rhe p3d is refered to the pod and rack. They show up in BD and in game.
But the missles dont show.
or cant you have Proxies on proxies?
What im basically trying to do is a pylon with multiple missiles
untold temple
The missile proxies go inside the pylonpod proxy yes
But the missile proxies need maverickWeapon simulation in the cfgnonAIvehicles instead of pylonPod
hearty sandal
proxy in a proxy
grand creek
@stoic lily Sure https://github.com/Sparker95/Project_0/blob/e89d454872bc8bac48b2b5330742f16a716cd6f2/Project_0.Altis/Intel/UnitIntel.sqf#L79-L118 it's easy: add 'InventoryOpened' event handler, when it gets triggered wait until inventory display is not null, then you can do whatever you want with the inventory display 😃
maiden lodge
@untold temple @hearty sandal strange... I have this. It must be something obvious Im missing
maiden lodge
ist there some writte tutorial for this?
the dynamic loadout works. its just that the proxies are not changing to the weapons as loaded
neither are the proxies in the proxies
in BD it just shows them fine
untold temple
do you have autocenter on them? And is proxyShape defined for the ammo?
There's an example of a pylon with three maverickWeapon proxies here https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/206064-pylons-weapon-sample/?tab=comments#comment-3204897
Someone also had a problem with their munitions showing up on their pylonPod earlier this week, because they had values for mirrorMissilesIndexes[] = {n1,n2,n3}; in the magazine, that exceeded how many proxy positions there were on their pylonPod
maiden lodge
ok let me go through these things
ok the auto center...
thats something I set in OB?
untold temple
yes, named property in the geometry LOD
Things that go on proxies should have autocenter set to 0
but vehicles etc. shouldn't have the property because it messes with how they interact with water and things
maiden lodge
so not only the rack but also the missles should have this
untold temple
yes
maiden lodge
mirrormissleindex is not in the CfgMagazines Config reference
untold temple
so?
it's in the far more useful biki page about dynamic loadouts, if you don't believe it's a valid parameter simply because it's not in some list that hardly ever gets updated
maiden lodge
oh you mean: 'hey there is a biki page about dynamic loadouts. Have you ever seen it?'
No I havent show me by all means! 😀 😉
stoic lily
@grand creek thanks! using InventoryOpened here too. as said couldnt get specifically tooltips and onMouseEnter/Exit not working
untold temple
grand creek
Yes actually i have tried on mouse enter too and it was not working for me
For the list boxes
stoic lily
i tried script adding and removal of the Enter/Exit EH but it seems they are bugged in general
maiden lodge
in addition to my quest for pylons
anyone knows if there is a way to edit the missile flightbprofiles?
I would like to add a new one or change 'Direct'
hearty sandal
pretty those cant be accessed
hot pine
maiden lodge
@hot pine I know How that worka thanks. But I would like to actually add new or change existing profiles in their behaviour
