i tried starting my arma and i need to define a newturret

#

{
    class B_MBT_01_TUSK_F;

    class Slammer:  B_MBT_01_TUSK_F
{
    class B_MBT_01_TUSK_F: B_MBT_01_TUSK_F
{ 
        class Turrets {
            class MainTurret:NewTurret {
                class Turrets {
                    class CommanderOptics;
                };
            };
        };

#

do i just make a new inheritance

#

or do i actually even need that right now

hearty sandal Aug 29, 2019, 7:36 PM

#

no you dont need to define new turret

#

theres nothing on that vehicle that can act as the new turret

#

you have the turrets a vehicle already has

sullen fulcrum Aug 29, 2019, 7:37 PM

#

right so ill just commend it out

hearty sandal Aug 29, 2019, 7:40 PM

#

I guess youll just have to try them out

#

this is almost like im writing this for you

#

got other stuff to do so, good luck, and read the pages I linked

@hearty sandal multiplayer compatibility is not a concern of mine. the scenario im thinking about is dynamic recon operations. when you go to assign your team, there are different loadouts based on whatever faction you choose. i just want to make my own faction so that my loadouts are in the dropdown menu as opposed to the normal ones

lethal sandal Aug 29, 2019, 10:30 PM

#

i am trying to put the soundSetEnvironment array into an external filr,so i included the file insite the envsounds class.since i tried this the game crashes when the world is loaded.is that stuff that HAS TO stay inside the main config??

#

well rpt throws an "undefined variable in expression "wind" lol

Morning guys, I was having a small issue with one of my rifle configs.
The mod is packing and the rifle works in game but everytime I switch firemode and then reload the rifle the firemode goes back to semi on its own. Any ideas?

dry carbon Aug 30, 2019, 9:05 AM

#

I have a universal or shared folder with no config of its own, but how do I compile it? I assume I need some kind of default or empty config, but what exactly goes in?

opal crater Aug 30, 2019, 9:17 AM

#

config.cpp + cfgpatches inside, "compile" to pbo and you can access the resources from other addons.

dry carbon Aug 30, 2019, 10:11 AM

#

cfgPatches would be empty?

#

like this? ```
#define ARMA

class CfgPatches
{
class assets_pool
{
units[] = {};
weapons[] = {};
requiredVersion = 1.82;
requiredAddons[] = {"A3_sounds_f"};
version = "0.1";
};
};```

#

Yup, that worked! Thanks, @opal crater !

opal crater Aug 30, 2019, 10:17 AM

#

yeah, You should TAG cour cfgpatches class

#

and that define is useless.

dry carbon Aug 30, 2019, 10:18 AM

#

it's part of a larger mod

#

ok. relic

#

so... within the mod, this sits here:
P:\61jtf\assets_pool\[reused_paas_and_rvmats]
P:\61jtf\moreAssets\forExample\[files]
P:\61jtf\vehicleClasses\tanks\myTank01\[files]

#

dang discord formatting

opal crater Aug 30, 2019, 10:33 AM

#

Does not matter, you should tag your classes.

#

eg class 61jtf_assets_pool

dry carbon Aug 30, 2019, 10:34 AM

#

duly noted

opal crater Aug 30, 2019, 10:34 AM

#

someone else unaware about tagging will create an addon with a pool

#

and will name his class assets_pool too.

#

And you've a confilict.

#

ofc they should TAG their stuff too...

strong shuttle Aug 30, 2019, 10:36 AM

#

good rule of thumb is MODNAME_ADDONNAME_classname

dry carbon Aug 30, 2019, 10:36 AM

#

ok

strong shuttle Aug 30, 2019, 10:37 AM

#

or just MODNAME_ADDONNAME for tagging

opal crater Aug 30, 2019, 10:37 AM

#

or use CBA/ACE addon template and macros will do that for you.

#

(with HEMTT for easier compilation and component adding 😬 )

dry carbon Aug 30, 2019, 10:38 AM

#

so what you're proposing is a complete overhaul of all my folders, every p3d, every rvmat, every config and every hpp

opal crater Aug 30, 2019, 10:38 AM

#

welp. It means your stuff is not written "up to standards" 😛

#

It's just asking for conflict. Also I don't think you need to TAG rvmats and stuff like that.

#

But every config entry that can conflict with other addons should use that.

dry carbon Aug 30, 2019, 10:39 AM

#

changing the name of the folders requires changing their location in the file paths

#

doesn't the class name need to match the folder name?

opal crater Aug 30, 2019, 10:40 AM

#

umm

#

no

#

ace/addons/advanced_throwing/config.cpp
class ace_advanced_throwing

dry carbon Aug 30, 2019, 10:41 AM

#

ok not so bad, then

#

I was about to have an embolism

opal crater Aug 30, 2019, 10:41 AM

#

do you tag the classes of your vehicles/buildings whatever you're doing?

dry carbon Aug 30, 2019, 10:52 AM

#

I guess not, at least not in the cfgPatches

#

here's me getting educated on the matter:

[10:00 PM] ScotG/Rooster3D: yes
[10:01 PM] mikero: then that's where ALL your files live...  

...you made the best decision of all putting ALL your stuff in P:\your_tag
[10:05 PM] mikero: no one but no one, can put THEIR crap in there```

#

Something about that I misunderstood, I guess, or didn't fully grasp.

#

Admittedly, he never asked to see my cfgPatches, and there was no need to for what he was helping me with

#

but one can see why this might give a sense of security.

opal crater Aug 30, 2019, 10:58 AM

#

🤔 Maybe mikero tools have some auto class prefixing.

#

But im not aware of features of that. If it has it would be weird to me.

#

what his tools do with P: drive is that it does the pboprefix for you

#

so with path P:\61jtf\assets_pool

#

you have $PBOPREFIX$ 61jtf\assets_pool

#

so you can use this as paths in arma

nimble sequoia Aug 30, 2019, 11:00 AM

#

I've got a feeling you'll run into problems using a tag name beginning with a number.

dry carbon Aug 30, 2019, 11:00 AM

#

ah crap

#

6 problems or 61 problems? 😜

nimble sequoia Aug 30, 2019, 11:02 AM

#

back when I started the 3CB mods, I couldn't just use "3cb_restofclassname" and had to take "uk3cb_restofclassname" - long time ago, so can't remember the reason why

nimble sequoia Aug 30, 2019, 11:05 AM

#

you don't have to, but in case of conflict with some other modder who copies your tag and causes conflicts it might be helpful

dry carbon Aug 30, 2019, 11:06 AM

#

I'm no slouch, yall. I'm just inadequately informed in some areas.

#

I have great passion for my work. I'm not just trying to bang out a crap mod

#

I think Apollo can vouch for that, since I know he's been following its progress for quite a while

#

Of course, I'd say my stuff is legit, but if that's not a shared opinion, then it's at least legit-adjacent.

#

but it's still in development, and that's why I'm here, putting my inadequacies on the table.

#

btw, @astral pagoda , I got to the root of my upside-down commander scope issues. It was ultimately because I had the sourceAddress of my commander_turret set to "clamp" when it should have been "loop."

astral pagoda Aug 30, 2019, 11:17 AM

#

Oh okay! Didn't catch that!

grand zinc Aug 30, 2019, 11:38 AM

#

numbers at start of classname are valid, just look at magazines

nova scarab Aug 30, 2019, 3:49 PM

#

hi all, I got a question. I am trying to have one back hawk with 2 weapons system, one with a 240 and another with a minigun. they both are maned , is it possible to do it by proxy?

hearty sandal Aug 30, 2019, 3:51 PM

#

no

#

unless its a custom model

nova scarab Aug 30, 2019, 3:57 PM

#

yes it is

#

but my question is, can it still be maned by a player?

#

so one version will have a 240 mashine gun

#

and the other version will have a minimi

#

called by proxy

#

would it work?

untold temple Aug 30, 2019, 4:00 PM

#

Yes, you would want different animations for the crews in those turrets to fit the different weapons, but there's no reason it wouldn't work

hearty sandal Aug 30, 2019, 4:00 PM

#

also do note that proxy weapon like that would not have animated parts

nova scarab Aug 30, 2019, 4:02 PM

#

awww I see so like a minimi wouldnt really turn/rotate as it shoots

#

so it is a better approach to have two models

#

of the same heli

hearty sandal Aug 30, 2019, 4:02 PM

#

it would yes

untold temple Aug 30, 2019, 4:02 PM

#

The gun would move but things like the ammo belt and feed cover wont move if the weapon is all one proxy

nova scarab Aug 30, 2019, 4:02 PM

#

thank you guys, you all rocks as always

hearty sandal Aug 30, 2019, 4:02 PM

#

but all the small parts would not move

nova scarab Aug 30, 2019, 4:03 PM

#

that's too bad, well i guess I will keep 2 models

#

i was trying to make my mod smaller

hearty sandal Aug 30, 2019, 4:03 PM

#

a model here or there doesnt really matter

untold temple Aug 30, 2019, 4:04 PM

#

.p3ds aren't really very big usually

hearty sandal Aug 30, 2019, 4:04 PM

#

👆

untold temple Aug 30, 2019, 4:04 PM

#

textures, sounds etc. take up more file space than most .p3ds

nova scarab Aug 30, 2019, 4:04 PM

#

true thank gents

hearty sandal Aug 30, 2019, 4:04 PM

#

btw #arma3_model next time a model question comes up

untold temple Aug 30, 2019, 4:04 PM

#

multiple .p3ds are just more of a pain to manage when you want to update some aspect of all variants of that type of object

hearty sandal Aug 30, 2019, 4:05 PM

#

solution = make no mistakes

untold temple Aug 30, 2019, 4:05 PM

and pray BI doesn't change something or add something cool that you want to add

dry carbon Aug 30, 2019, 7:11 PM

What @nimble sequoia was saying earlier, about the tagname starting with numbers. @grand zinc and @hard chasm confirmed that it's okay to start classnames with numbers. However, if you are trying to be consistent all around, is there any instance where starting with a number is not okay? Examples: 61jtf.p3d, 61jtf.paa, etc? If so, then it may be best to avoid starting with a number for the sake of consistency.

#

Also, Mikero clarified that while having my files in P:\61jtf\ was a smart move that will prevent someone placing their assets in there, indeed it will not prevent conflicts if they decided to unwittingly make their own version of a file I have.

#

I don't know how any of this would stop someone from doing it intentionally, though.

#

Or why they would... but some people just want to watch the world burn.

nimble sequoia Aug 30, 2019, 9:13 PM

#

As I mentioned before there was a reason that using a numbered tag was problematic for us, obviously not purely related to class names, but it was 5 years ago now so perhaps the issue is no longer present, or alternatively you'll discover it at an inopportune moment! Better to pass the caution from experience on than not.

hard chasm Aug 30, 2019, 11:38 PM

#

it will not prevent conflicts if they decided to unwittingly make their own version of a file I have

using tag_nameOf.p3d prevents the likelihood of that happen. It is not malicious, it is simply you, fred, the girl next door, and her dog, have ALL called their p3d 'potato'. When map making, the engine doesn't know which one is being referred to. (clutter and land classes).

it is even more essential that you tag_classname. for every class you ever make.

that dog and it's friends are guaranteed to have:

class elephant

only you can have

class mytag_elephant

let them fight among themselves. you have lifted yourself out of the swamp

#

Oh yes, for anyone thinking "well, i've not had any problems", the answer is:

ho ho ho. Be patient. Your pbo will be unusable sometime in the future. The dog will come in and bite you.

hard chasm Aug 31, 2019, 3:56 AM

#

my dll can't distinguish in config,cpp's between sqf statements that only produce constants, and the one above which clearly doesn't so is flagged as probably wrong (which it isn't). ordinarily you use sqf in exec eval statements and they must produce a constant value in order for that cpp to be baked to a bin. The choice is to just ignore all probable errors, and not bother at all. or at least warn.

#

example (only valid in a model.cfg)

angle = rad -90; // produces a constant.
angle = rad random(); // does not.

I'll look into seeing how i can improve above.

working on a jet, but I cannot, for the life of me get the HUD to appear. I have copied the Wipeout's MFD section as a test and still am having no luck regarding getting a damn hud to appear. Any thoughts?

astral pagoda Aug 31, 2019, 2:58 PM

#

got mem points right?

autumn crater Aug 31, 2019, 5:08 PM

#

The hud itself (the one not using the model) requires memory points? @astral pagoda

hearty sandal Aug 31, 2019, 5:10 PM

#

if its not model projected hud, do you have it configured to be helmet/player view only?

#

showHMD = 1; plays a part on that I recall.

autumn crater Aug 31, 2019, 5:14 PM

#

I think? I tried my own hand and had no luck so I copied the one from the wipeout

#

Where is showHMD going?

hearty sandal Aug 31, 2019, 5:22 PM

#

the root of the vehicle controls the pilot and each turret class can have it too

autumn crater Aug 31, 2019, 5:44 PM

#

no luck on the showHMD = 1;

hot pine Aug 31, 2019, 5:55 PM

#

@autumn crater https://community.bistudio.com/wiki?title=A3_MFD_config_reference#HUD_Elements

wiki?title=A3 MFD config reference

#

Wipeout have only HUD + MFDs with dynamic loadouts so it's not going to work as HMD

#

showHMD is only for gunner btw

#

helmetMountedDisplay is HMD flag

autumn crater Aug 31, 2019, 5:57 PM

#

So, what is causing it to not appear for the pilot then?

#

(I realize that is a super broad question, but do you have any immediate ideas @hot pine )

untold temple Aug 31, 2019, 6:00 PM

#

The fact that it's not designed to be a HMD

autumn crater Aug 31, 2019, 6:01 PM

#

I cannot find any notation on "HMD"

untold temple Aug 31, 2019, 6:01 PM

#

If you want a non-HMD HUD/MFD in a vehicle, it requires memory points in the model to provide the boundaries where the MFD will show

autumn crater Aug 31, 2019, 6:01 PM

#

in either the dev reference or online

#

so how would you show it to be HMD or is that not an option and thus requires memory points?

untold temple Aug 31, 2019, 6:02 PM

#

You would need to write a new MFD class that uses correct sources for all the displays

#

or use one from a vehicle that actually has a HMD

autumn crater Aug 31, 2019, 6:04 PM

#

the wipeout does have what I'm talking about

@dry carbon it's a memory point defining where 3d icon for task will appear

Whats that best way to balance a bullet? Like between hit,caliber and velocity how should I go about setting those values, or should I just try something and see how it feels?

grand zinc Sep 3, 2019, 11:27 AM

#

for caliber and velocity use real life values

#

for hit, Guess just try out yeah

toxic solar Sep 3, 2019, 11:28 AM

#

so for caliber=1 is that the 6.5mm or 5.56? Im unsure what unit it is really, like with velocity its m/s

grand zinc Sep 3, 2019, 11:30 AM

caliber is in mm afaik

and 12.7 for .50
seems a bit all over the place, close to the real value, but rarely really on it

toxic solar Sep 3, 2019, 11:33 AM

oh okay lol

so hit, indirectHit,caliber, whatever the velocity is through mag or weapon or ammo,and indirectHitRange are the only things that determine damage right?

#

lol 9.017 thats pretty specific

astral pagoda Sep 3, 2019, 11:49 AM

#

afaik caliber=1 is 6.5

novel lava Sep 3, 2019, 11:59 AM

#

it used to be 7.62 nato 😛

Hello!

#

Any clue why a model in map does not animate and a model in mission does?

hot pine Sep 3, 2019, 2:41 PM

#

@AdamuzSystems#4107 https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/The_Land_xx_class

The Land xx class

velvet mesa Sep 3, 2019, 2:53 PM

#

Its a copy paste config with land class hm,mm

#

let me investigate more

hearty sandal Sep 3, 2019, 2:56 PM

#

📎 unknown.png

#

basically this

velvet mesa Sep 3, 2019, 3:03 PM

#

its setted like that

#

class CfgVehicles {
    class House_F;
    class land_pop_tuning : House_F {

hearty sandal Sep 3, 2019, 3:07 PM

#

is your p3d pop_tuning.p3d?

#

@velvet mesa

velvet mesa Sep 3, 2019, 3:12 PM

#

it is

#

Its a car elevator

#

Idk whats happening 😩

hot pine Sep 3, 2019, 3:23 PM

#

@velvet mesa did you do all steps mentioned on that page?

velvet mesa Sep 3, 2019, 3:24 PM

#

well, I did. Indeed i copy pasted the comfig and models so...

hot pine Sep 3, 2019, 3:24 PM

#

Models?

velvet mesa Sep 3, 2019, 3:24 PM

#

model.cfg

#

config.cpp and model.cfg

#

The thing is model.cfg works, because i can animate it while beeing a mission object

hot pine Sep 3, 2019, 3:25 PM

#

I think you didn't read everything

#

Because otherwise you would propably mentioned p3d change

#

Model. cfg wasn't mentioned there anywhere

velvet mesa Sep 3, 2019, 3:26 PM

#

I had pop_tunning in units

#

Maybe its that

#

reyhard, i read that post sereral times among a few years

#

I came here cause it was weird XD

hot pine Sep 3, 2019, 3:28 PM

#

Which part is weird?

velvet mesa Sep 3, 2019, 3:29 PM

#

It animates in mission object and as simple object but not as map object 😦

#

First time getting this

hot pine Sep 3, 2019, 3:32 PM

#

Is everything in p3d set correctly?

velvet mesa Sep 3, 2019, 3:32 PM

#

Yep

#

It also animates in object builder as it animates ingame

hot pine Sep 3, 2019, 3:33 PM

#

What properties do you have?

velvet mesa Sep 3, 2019, 3:33 PM

#

1 sec

#

None

#

🤔

hot pine Sep 3, 2019, 3:36 PM

#

Mystery solved

velvet mesa Sep 3, 2019, 3:36 PM

#

let me fix

velvet mesa Sep 3, 2019, 3:56 PM

#

Nothing u.u

#

just copy pasted the properties of a working building

#

and... nothing

hearty sandal Sep 3, 2019, 3:57 PM

#

what animation source do you use?

velvet mesa Sep 3, 2019, 3:57 PM

#

custom one

#

"Zeroanimation"

#

its linked to user

#

                source = "user";
                animPeriod = 5;
                initPhase = 0;
            };```

#

I can use in editor but not when packed with map

hearty sandal Sep 3, 2019, 3:59 PM

#

how are you trying to use it

velvet mesa Sep 3, 2019, 4:03 PM

#

3 ways

#

Putting in mission and playing it --> that works

#

Putting in map, terrain builder, packing and playing a empty map ---> not working

#

Putting in mission, setting simple object check and playing it --> that works

hearty sandal Sep 3, 2019, 4:04 PM

#

yes but how do you launch the animation

velvet mesa Sep 3, 2019, 4:04 PM

#

2 ways

#

cursorobject animate ["up", 3] --> in mission works

#

and selection the action on object (mission aswell)

hearty sandal Sep 3, 2019, 4:05 PM

#

useraction?

#

alright, those should work on terrain objects too

#

so you have class = house namedParameter in the geometry lod?

#

the land_p3dfilename class

#

and model.cfg class with p3dfilename class?

velvet mesa Sep 3, 2019, 4:09 PM

#

Not geometry onlo LOD 0

hearty sandal Sep 3, 2019, 4:10 PM

#

another thing to try then

#

after that im out of ideas

velvet mesa Sep 3, 2019, 4:11 PM

#

crunching 😩

#

BAM!

#

Working!

#

Buuuut last thing, the objects does not appear in map as grey object

hearty sandal Sep 3, 2019, 4:22 PM

#

you dont probably have a right map class in its geometry lod

velvet mesa Sep 3, 2019, 4:30 PM

#

hmm

gritty rune Sep 3, 2019, 6:12 PM

Unsung and CUP have a conflict with regards to MainTurret for planes it seems. No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/Plane_Base_F/Turrets/MainTurret.maxHorizontalRotSpeed'. is seen. When I remove all Unsung dual seaters, it goes away.

#

the Unsung inheritance looks like:

#

class CfgVehicles
{
    class Air;
    class Plane: Air
    {
        class HitPoints;
        class Turrets;
    };
    class Plane_Base_F: Plane
    {
        class Turrets: Turrets
        {
            class CopilotTurret;
        };
        class HitPoints: HitPoints
        {
            class HitHull;
        };
        class NewTurret;
        class ViewPilot;
        class ViewGunner;
        class ViewOptics;
        class AnimationSources;
        class Eventhandlers;
        class Components;
    };

hearty sandal Sep 3, 2019, 6:13 PM

#

if both mods define Plane_Base_F somewhere and they neither mod is dependant form the other its loadorder nightmare

#

so whichever gets loaded last defines that class

#

Id perhaps make a UNS_Plane_Base_F : Plane_Base_F and add your new stuff there and leave the vanilla base classes totally alone

#

aa

#

I see a thing

#

class Turrets
            {
                class CopilotTurret: NewTurret
                {

                    maxTurn = 170;
                    initTurn = 0;
                    maxHorizontalRotSpeed = 3;
                    maxVerticalRotSpeed = 3;
                    startEngine = 0;

                    commanding = -1;
                    turretCanSee = "1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 32";
                };
            };```

#

from Plane_Base_F vanilla config from config dump

#

it does not inherit turrets class from class Plane

#

📎 unknown.png

#

like in yours @gritty rune

#

📎 unknown.png

#

this is not vanilla

gritty rune Sep 3, 2019, 6:17 PM

#

so best to declare class Plane_Base_F; and then class uns_plane: Plane_Base_F?

hearty sandal Sep 3, 2019, 6:17 PM

#

it might be most clean way yes

#

class plane does not have turrets class at all

#

removing the turrets class inheritnace might also work

#

📎 unknown.png

#

because these dont exist

gritty rune Sep 3, 2019, 6:19 PM

#

ok

#

that's how it was originally, thought the turrets def might fix it

hearty sandal Sep 3, 2019, 6:20 PM

#

well I guess there technically is empty turrets {}; class there

#

becasue allVehicles (distant parent class) has first
class Turrets { };
in it

#

class Allvehicles introduced the class newTurret that some classes use to define the basic turret settings

#

class newTurret
class turrets 
{
    class main turret :  newTurret
    {
    };
};```

gritty rune Sep 3, 2019, 6:23 PM

#

yes, that's defined in the actual class turret def

hearty sandal Sep 3, 2019, 6:24 PM

#

All In One config dump is good source to check these on

sullen fulcrum Sep 3, 2019, 7:15 PM

#

can someone tell me whats incorrect about this base class? im trying to definene animation sources: animationsources

hearty sandal Sep 3, 2019, 7:16 PM

#

do you have a space in the classname?

#

and do you have a class animationsources to actually inherit from somewhere

sullen fulcrum Sep 3, 2019, 7:29 PM

#

yes

#

           {
        class AnimationSources: AnimationSources
        {```

#

ive used the same defining to define a turret before

#

{
    
        class Turrets: Turrets
        {
            class MainTurret: MainTurret
            {
                class Turrets: Turrets
            
                {```

#

couldnt figure out how to properly define AnimationSources

hearty sandal Sep 3, 2019, 7:39 PM

#

what you show here doesnt quite make sense

#

do you have 2 KumaPlus classes?

sullen fulcrum Sep 3, 2019, 7:39 PM

#

no i have one

hearty sandal Sep 3, 2019, 7:40 PM

#

also does b_MBT_03 have animationsources class?

#

and why do you even iherit it? you should not need to change anything in it

sullen fulcrum Sep 3, 2019, 7:42 PM

#

in the config with all the vehicles in it it has one, i dont think it uses b_MBT_03 now that i look closely

#

in the config file it has this

#

                tex[] = {};
                mat[] = {"A3\Armor_F_EPB\MBT_03\data\MBT_03_Ext01.rvmat", "A3\Armor_F_EPB\MBT_03\data\MBT_03_Ext01_damage.rvmat", "A3\Armor_F_EPB\MBT_03\data\MBT_03_Ext01_destruct.rvmat", "A3\Armor_F_EPB\MBT_03\data\MBT_03_Ext02.rvmat", "A3\Armor_F_EPB\MBT_03\data\MBT_03_Ext02_damage.rvmat", "A3\Armor_F_EPB\MBT_03\data\MBT_03_Ext02_destruct.rvmat", "A3\Armor_F_EPB\MBT_03\data\MBT_03_RCWS.rvmat", "A3\Armor_F_EPB\MBT_03\data\MBT_03_RCWS_damage.rvmat", "A3\Armor_F_EPB\MBT_03\data\MBT_03_RCWS_destruct.rvmat", "A3\Armor_F_EPB\MBT_03\data\MBT_03_track.rvmat", "A3\Armor_F_EPB\MBT_03\data\MBT_03_track_damage.rvmat", "A3\Armor_F_EPB\MBT_03\data\MBT_03_track_destruct.rvmat"};
            };
            class AnimationSources: AnimationSources
            {
                class muzzle_rot_cannon```

hearty sandal Sep 3, 2019, 7:42 PM

#

you dont need to inherit everything like that

#

only the things you intend to change

#

so for weapons the turrets

#

and then change the stuff in them you need

sullen fulcrum Sep 3, 2019, 7:43 PM

#

then i could just delete the whole animation thing?

hearty sandal Sep 3, 2019, 7:43 PM

#

yes

#

📎 unknown.png

#

this part already inherits everything

#

the rest you need to define with iheritance if you want to change stuff but also keep the rest you inherit

fat rip my MFD class is fucked up aswell ingame i get errors regarding it and the tanks not showing in eden

commented it out but my next error is cannon side and scope so ill c omment that out aswell now

hearty sandal Sep 3, 2019, 8:19 PM

when I said add 1 thing and test I meant it

its not very easy to climb backwards into the tree

youve added way too much

might be better to just start fresh again

RGB (its just 3 values after all). And its float. 255 = 1.0 , 128 = 0.5

no.

Any idea why

Returns "<null>" when put inside a mod config but works fine in the mission config?

quasi sonnet Sep 4, 2019, 9:31 PM

#

; at the end of a #define could be a problem

stable sandal Sep 4, 2019, 9:37 PM

But then it shouldn't work inside missionConfig?

quasi sonnet Sep 4, 2019, 9:39 PM

#

Maybe you are not doing the same there

#

I dont know your full code

stable sandal Sep 4, 2019, 9:41 PM

That's the code, same in missionConfig and modConfig

i have no idea, but I can say the semicolon is right there

hot pine Sep 5, 2019, 6:15 AM

#

@stable sandal you cannot evaluate scripts in such context

stable sandal Sep 5, 2019, 7:17 AM

#

Oh okey, thanks. I suspected it a bit but maybe I was doing something wrong. I managed to do what I wanted to do (using onLoad and repositioning the elements with SQF).
Btw, the error was that getResolution was returning [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,false] and therefor dividing by 0.

hard chasm Sep 5, 2019, 9:17 AM

#

a config.cpp bin is cast in concrete and can only use constants. GetResolution is only known after game has loaded (and in most cases, only after mission load). It will work in a description.ext because that is not compiled until just before mission start. but configs are binarised with no actual reference to the game engine. After all, you make an addon pbo on any machine you care to without even the game installed.

grand zinc Sep 5, 2019, 9:18 AM

#

You might be able to get rid of eval completely and just store as string, when engine tries to getNumber from a string it will evaluate the script inside the string.
Not sure if the config script evaluator has access to getResolution tho

stable sandal Sep 5, 2019, 9:22 AM

#

Yeah I replaced __EVAL by # to wrap al that in quotes and it works

bold marlin Sep 5, 2019, 1:51 PM

#

Does anyone know of a good way to rename towns and cities on a specific map? I found out about the CfgWorlds config that I placed in config.cpp:

class CfgWorlds {
    class Altis {
        class Names {
            class Pyrgos {
                name = "Pyrgos 22";
            };
        };
    };
};

But it seems to throw a few errors:

No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgWorlds/Altis.RainParticles'.
No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgWorlds/Altis.startWind'.
No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgWorlds/Altis.gridNumbersOverLines'.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix those errors, or know an alternative to achieve the same thing?

grand zinc Sep 5, 2019, 1:51 PM

#

You need to keep inheritance correct

#

Altis inherits from something

bold marlin Sep 5, 2019, 1:51 PM

#

CAWorlds I think

#

So then:

class CfgWorlds {
    class CAWorld;
    class Altis : CAWorld {
        class Names {
            class Pyrgos {
                name = "Pyrgos 22";
            };
        };
    };
};

?

#

actually singular

hearty sandal Sep 5, 2019, 1:56 PM

#

@bold marlin can you expand a little whats the purpose of what you are doing?

bold marlin Sep 5, 2019, 1:58 PM

#

Hey, that worked!

I just want to rename some locations on a map for a mission to mission basis... Now I would prefer there to be an option like something I could do in the init field for a mission, or the mission's description.ext... but I tried the latter using the same code without success... the Wiki says the description.ext only accepts certain Cfgs, so I figured that may have been the reason so didn't keep trying

hearty sandal Sep 5, 2019, 2:21 PM

yeah terrain configs are like that.

candid flower Sep 5, 2019, 7:42 PM

#

for the purposes of training a new engineer in a minefield, is there a way i can either prevent a tripped mine from exploding, or prevent said mine from killing someone?

grand creek Sep 5, 2019, 7:44 PM

#

add an event handler which is handling damage of a unit

#

and find out which combination of inputs is being caused by a mine explosion

candid flower Sep 5, 2019, 7:49 PM

#

hmm, thats true

#

alrighty

hearty sandal Sep 5, 2019, 8:10 PM

#

make dummy training mines that make no dammage

candid flower Sep 5, 2019, 8:25 PM

#

thats what i was originally going for, yeah

#

next question....how do you delete a mine AFTER it's diffused? looking through list of script commands now...i see removeAllOwnedMines, but i dont think that is quite it..

#

i tried "deleteVehicle" but it didnt work...probably because the mine in its "diffused" state is no longer considered a vehicle or...something? i dont think that sounds right

quasi sonnet Sep 5, 2019, 8:50 PM

#

You need to delete the container in the ground, since it is a pick up able item on the ground after disarming

idle matrix Sep 5, 2019, 9:13 PM

#

why not use the dummy training mines?

#

from Laws of War?

candid flower Sep 5, 2019, 9:34 PM

#

because we havent downloaded or purchased Laws of War 😦

idle matrix Sep 5, 2019, 10:06 PM

#

you can still place the mines in the editor/zeus can't you?

#

also pretty sure you don't need to download Laws of War

#

comes with the game

candid flower Sep 5, 2019, 10:21 PM

#

indeed. can still place

#

so how does one "delete the container in the ground" @quasi sonnet ?

hearty sandal Sep 5, 2019, 10:26 PM

#

its "vehicle"

#

so deleteVehicle should work

candid flower Sep 5, 2019, 10:35 PM

#

but if the mine has no specific name, will it work?

idle matrix Sep 5, 2019, 10:35 PM

#

do you have some sort of addon that can update editable objects for zeus?

#

you can remove it through zeus then

candid flower Sep 5, 2019, 10:36 PM

#

indeed, but im going for automation

#

what im doing is creating a training area for engineers to practice disarming mines.

if you walk into a guard shack, it deploys IEDs and mines for engineers to disarm

what i want to do is prevent 'new' mines from deploying until all existing mines in a given area are disarmed, and also remove any disarmed mines left in the area if they cant be carried

#

ive successfully set up triggers to create the mines, so that works

idle matrix Sep 5, 2019, 10:44 PM

#

ah I see

candid flower Sep 5, 2019, 11:11 PM

#

indeed

#

i mean, the player can pick up the disarmed mine of course, but im also trying to prevent trolling, in the sense of walking in and out of the trigger area which would deploy more mines

Is there a way to get the 3d model names / directories for the LDF and Spetsnaz uniforms, even though they are EPO files?

You can read them from the configs

I'm using Arma 3 default boxes on my mod, but those boxes are objects with physics and sometimes they goes under the ground. Can i create a box that don't have physics, like a static object?

grand creek Sep 6, 2019, 3:25 AM

#

Yes
createSimpleObject
Or create a standard object and disable its simulation with enableSimulation

sullen fulcrum Sep 6, 2019, 3:27 AM

#

@grand creek thanks, but i want to keep the inventory capabalities of the box.

#

Can i create a moded box and just change the simutation from ThingX to house?

grand creek Sep 6, 2019, 3:31 AM

#

That looks like a way
Sadly I don't know

sullen fulcrum Sep 6, 2019, 3:38 AM

@grand creek i tested and it works, box have inventory and is solid like rock

Still testing to see if i find some problem

Is it possible to change the config of something in a mission? I'm intending, as a follow on to my previous questions, to rename locations on a map to be more relevant to a mission. The idea is having a map like Ruha, and pretending it's in Finland. The terrain is similar, but of course the names on the map give it away as being a German place

grand zinc Sep 6, 2019, 12:54 PM

you need to set the penetration material in the material of your geom lod in the model

cedar cave Sep 6, 2019, 12:54 PM

#

Ahh, ok

#

Thx

hearty sandal Sep 6, 2019, 6:17 PM

cedar cave Sep 6, 2019, 11:30 PM

#

hmm, where do i actually set the penetration material though?

wild pasture Sep 7, 2019, 12:48 AM

#

@cedar cave in Object Builder you select a piece of geometry that you want to apply it to, open the face properties (I think the default keybind is E), and edit the material to be the path to the penetration RVMAT you want to use. You can make your own material if you want, but the ones in a3\data_f\Penetration should cover nearly every scenario.

sullen fulcrum Sep 7, 2019, 1:37 AM

Change the simulation of a box from thingx to house (config) can cause any harm? I need help!

cedar cave Sep 7, 2019, 3:38 AM

#

makes sense, thanks

hearty sandal Sep 7, 2019, 6:25 AM

#

@sullen fulcrum if you make a new derivative class then it should not affect anyone else's stuff.

sullen fulcrum Sep 7, 2019, 9:36 AM

#

@hearty sandal i did a new class... but i'm blind about side effects because i'm new to config. But, from my tests its working well, it even gets detected by nearEntities and entities commands.

grand creek Sep 7, 2019, 6:19 PM

#

What other things do you need from the object?

#

If you can't think of any which could be broken by lack of physics in an object then it's allright, no?

yes in any items config that is on that list

ACE makes misc items mine detectors I think. Or they did in the past

there is no such thing really

theres BI wiki pages on how config works and how inheritance works

but nothing as specifc as how to make misc items

grand creek Sep 8, 2019, 1:07 AM

what are misc items?
when learning how to write configs, it helped me when I found some addon which was adding a bunch of items of the class I need, and I looked at its config file

Hello, i have a question about sounds. I have made a siren for mz police cars but the sound is to silent and i want to make it louder.

#

the config looks like this

#

sounds[]=

};
class Siren1
{

sound[]=
{
"\d3s_srthellcat_15\sounds\siren.wav",

};

#

can someone tell me wtich part is responsible for the volume of the sound_

grand zinc Sep 8, 2019, 2:00 PM

#

https://www.google.com/search?q=Arma+CfgSounds

// filename, volume, pitch, distance (optional)
sound[] = { "fx\wolf1.ogg", 1, 1, 100 };

Man google is such a nice invention isn't it?

gleaming oar Sep 8, 2019, 2:16 PM

@rigid kitedmen so should i do this then?

#

class Siren2

Hello everyone 👋🏻

#

I have a model try to import it into arma 3 but know nothing about config and scripting could anyone give advice please?

#

I’ll post a picture for the model

#

Oops there is no insert pic

#

Thank you in advance

hearty sandal Sep 8, 2019, 8:32 PM

#

is the model from some other game or from a legit source you can actaully use?

#

you can paste link to your picture

viral gale Sep 8, 2019, 8:47 PM

#

@hearty sandal first of all thank you for your fast responding sir

#

It’s a arma file actually when I tried to port it it’s going move just backward and forward

#

Yeah I’ll paste the link for sure 👍🏻

hearty sandal Sep 8, 2019, 9:07 PM

#

is the model from the released data package?

viral gale Sep 8, 2019, 9:12 PM

#

No sir to be obvious it’s not

hearty sandal Sep 8, 2019, 9:31 PM

#

@viral gale I dont think you can port it then

#

porting means you are allowed to use the model, when you dont it becomes ripping/stealing

viral gale Sep 8, 2019, 9:37 PM

#

@hearty sandal maybe I miss understanding how to describe , sir I imported it into arma 3 -don’t know if it’s the right word-
And drive it forward and backward. It’s not my own model, but it’s now fully working like lunching missile etc..

#

I can send files if it’s needed.

hearty sandal Sep 8, 2019, 9:50 PM

#

what I mean is that you dont have permission to use the model and you must not continue with this operation

viral gale Sep 8, 2019, 9:57 PM

#

Ohh, thanks for the advice, i was thinking it could be nice to have this truck for arma 3 .. maybe I’ll wait for it

I have in my mod computer comtroled Turrets that players uses to defend their base, but AT turrets are highly unefective because of the distance minimum limit and lock time.

hearty sandal Sep 10, 2019, 3:01 AM

possibly, turret movement speed is in the cfgvehicle class and weapon stuff in the cfgvehicles

what might be the reason a sling loadable 50kg rescue basket stays on the ground and the rope detaches from it when shortened, instead of pulling it up?

#

thats the config: ```cpp
class Car_F; // extern

class ttt_stokesBasket: Car_F { // Ship_F {

    model = "ttt_ch46\hoist\stokes_basket.p3d";
    side = 1;
    scope = 2;
    scopeCurator = 2;
    scopeArsenal = 2;
    displayName = "Rescue Basket";
    slingLoadCargoMemoryPoints[] = {"SlingLoadCargo1","SlingLoadCargo2","SlingLoadCargo3","SlingLoadCargo4"};
    slingLoadCargoMemoryPointsDir[] = {};
};```

#

the script looks like this: ```sqf

stretcher = "ttt_stokesBasket" createVehicle (getPos ch46);
[ch46, stretcher] spawn {
params ["_helo", "_stretcher"];
_stretcher enableRopeAttach true;
private _rope = ropeCreate [_helo, "ropeOriginRight", _stretcher, [0,0,0]];
// ropeCreate [_helo, [0,0,0], _stretcher, [0,0,0]];

sleep 2;
ropeUnwind [_rope, 1, 1, false];
waitUntil {ropeLength _rope < 1.1};
private _length = getPosATL _helo # 2;
ropeUnwind [_rope, 1, _length, false];

Hi, I don't really know if this is the right place to ask, but I desperately need some help modding in my own custom factions.

#

Me and a few friends have been using ALiVE to add in our own custom factions which has been working fine, but after we tried to make a second faction for one side (Like making another faction in OPFOR) everything started to go down hill

#

each of the factions are disappearing randomly from the editor like they're overwriting or something, but they all have unique .pbo names and each faction is a separate mod.

#

I've been using this base mod template that was on the ALiVE wiki, https://github.com/ALiVEOS/ALiVE.OS/blob/master/utils/tools/%40ModAutogen.rar

#

Any help is very appreciated, i'm completely lost on how to fix this, i've only been modding Arma for a couple days, if you can even call it modding. I've repacked all of my mods so many times to try and fix it but nothing is working.

muzzleimpulsecoef in cfgmagazine tells how "strong" it is. Mass of the vehicle is the only thing that acts against it. Maybe friction of the ground surface too, not sure, but its impractical to adjust that for eliminating this issue

Do you know how to bisign properly? i tried creating a public bikey and i pasted them into 3 diffrent mods i made then i uploaded them to a test server with the bikeys and im getting some wierd error that the PBO is not accepted

I know people have had issues with PBOManager in the past when trying to sign them, something to do with a signature mismatch

sullen fulcrum Sep 15, 2019, 6:01 PM

#

how else should i do it? and should i be making a bikey from the generator in arma 3 tools or signing a pbo somehow , this is my first time doing this so i dont really know/understand how to do it

#

and for some reason all the mods in the server have a signature mismatch even though me and my friend can join just fine

all mods are up to date aswell

@sullen fulcrum PboManager is the wrong tool for packing up addons

#

it works for unpacking data and packing missions

#

but for everything else it is wrong

#

PboProject is the most useful for you since it feedbacks on most common errors

and it can sign mods too

And Im pretty sure I've told you this before already

dry carbon Sep 15, 2019, 11:41 PM

#

How hard would it be to do this?:
Create a vehicle that works like a Stomper with HMG, where the operator can drive and gun at the same time. Omit the need to use a terminal to control it, force operator to be on board. Allow turn out and in position for operator. Essentially, it may have the option to carry cargo troops, but create the illusion that there's only one crewman. Note: I've tried hasDriver=-1;, but this doesn't allow the operator to turn on/off lights, engine, etc.

#

Before doing anything, I'm looking at the problem and thinking "how do I eliminate the terminal?" This stems from a lack of understanding how the UAV terminals work, possibly, but also stems from not understanding how to force a permanent AI into the vehicle.

strange egret Sep 16, 2019, 2:45 AM

#

turn engine off by script. turn on is automatic anyway. use turret lights instead of "driver lights".

What are the mass units of cfgMagazines?

They are obviously not kilograms, but what are they then?
I mean the "mass" property of a magazine

untold temple Sep 17, 2019, 12:39 PM

made up quantity that represents both mass and volume

grand zinc Sep 17, 2019, 12:41 PM

#

they are volume in made up units. Not mass

untold temple Sep 17, 2019, 12:42 PM

#

ACE uses a formula to convert those to kg to display in the arsenal for comparison purposes

grand zinc Sep 17, 2019, 12:42 PM

ACE has a forumla to convert them to kilograms, but they are just a approximation

grand creek Sep 17, 2019, 12:42 PM

huh, "mass" is actually volume, what a mess

thank you

I would expect it to be of kg*m^3 unit 😅

@grand creek only for magazine proxy

grand creek Sep 18, 2019, 4:37 PM

#

Hmm I'm not really familiar with this. I am making a simple magazine object to be picked up by player (it's just a box) for misc scenario purposes. It's not used in a gun or anything. Can I retexture that with that proxy?

strange egret Sep 18, 2019, 4:40 PM

#

for that you would use setTexture scripting commands

#

provided the model actually supports this

grand zinc Sep 18, 2019, 4:41 PM

#

hidden selection. If its an item on the ground you can't get a reference to it and need a textured subclass in config

grand creek Sep 18, 2019, 4:53 PM

#

cfgMagazines supports hidden selection?

strange egret Sep 18, 2019, 4:54 PM

#

if its not to be used as actual magazine in a weapon, you dont have to use cfgMagazines

grand creek Sep 18, 2019, 5:05 PM

#

What should I use then?
I think I tried another config class but there wasn't SQF functionality for some kind of manipulation of that object in a container, I don't remember exactly

hearty sandal Sep 18, 2019, 5:07 PM

make it just an object?

grand creek Sep 18, 2019, 5:07 PM

that probably will work. not sure if you can access the weapon in the ground holder though?

strange egret Sep 18, 2019, 5:22 PM

#

weapon attachements, helmets, backpacks are all cfgweapons

untold temple Sep 18, 2019, 6:49 PM

#

backpacks are cfgvehicles

#

Indeed they're the one part of a unit other than the uniform, you can use setobjecttexture on

grand creek Sep 18, 2019, 9:12 PM

#

So I've made my cardboard box item a class in CfgWeapons and now I've set its hiddenSelections and their textures like it's set in the corresponding cfgVehicles object and the texture is fine now

#

However the model gets rotated 90 degrees and half of it clips into the ground when I put it on the ground, which makes sense for a gun but not for a cardboard box... is there any way to rotate it?

hearty sandal Sep 18, 2019, 9:19 PM

#

you know how weapons are on their side in the groundholder thingy

#

you have to counter that in your model

grand creek Sep 18, 2019, 9:20 PM

#

ah ok... problem is that it's not my model, i'm just using a model from base arma to craft a pickup item

hearty sandal Sep 18, 2019, 9:23 PM

#

then its a no go I suppose

#

you can always try to rotate the groundholder object though

grand creek Sep 18, 2019, 9:24 PM

You require other addons, so you should also properly enter them there

west monolith Sep 19, 2019, 7:41 AM

#

Yeah, it should include the stuff like RHS etc

grand zinc Sep 19, 2019, 7:41 AM

#

everything you require.

west monolith Sep 19, 2019, 7:41 AM

#

but the uniform that's not working is from the vanilla game

grand zinc Sep 19, 2019, 7:41 AM

#

Yes

#

you require the vanilla game

#

so that should be in there too. It isn't tho

west monolith Sep 19, 2019, 7:42 AM

#

ah, i assumed that it'd automatically assume that or something. What exactly should I put in there for that stuff?

#

interesting that all other things work :/

grand zinc Sep 19, 2019, 7:43 AM

#

you inherit from a class that doesn't exist yet

#

A3_Data_F_Enoch_Loadorder in CfgPatches will require all of vanilla

west monolith Sep 19, 2019, 7:45 AM

#

i'll test and see if that helps. The other thing i considered was if perhaps i ought to create a uniform that inherits from the one i want to use and just changes the bare minimum (uniformClass in iteminfo, scope)

#

changing cfgpatches didn't help :(

grand zinc Sep 19, 2019, 7:49 AM

#

check ingame config viewer

#

whether your changes appear there

#

Also it says U_BG_Guerilla3_1 is not allowed.
But you are only changing PCT_Scavenger_01

#

But afaik the CfgWeapons class doesn't have restrictions... weird

west monolith Sep 19, 2019, 7:51 AM

#

yeah. U_BG_Guerilla3_1 is the uniform i want to use

grand zinc Sep 19, 2019, 7:51 AM

#

Ah!
The uniform says it belongs to B_G_Soldier_M_F

#

I assume it's only allowed on there then

#

you need to make a new uniform subclass too and change it's target

west monolith Sep 19, 2019, 7:52 AM

#

I'll try that. I assume that's the same as what i said - inherit from the original class and change scope and the uniformClass?

grand zinc Sep 19, 2019, 7:53 AM

#

ye

west monolith Sep 19, 2019, 8:02 AM

#

Hmm, nothing changed except that i can't find that error in the RPT anymore :/

#

{
    class UniformItem;
    class U_BG_Guerilla3_1;
      
    class PCT_U_BG_Guerilla3_1: U_BG_Guerilla3_1
    {
        scope = 1;
        class ItemInfo: UniformItem
        {
            containerClass = "Supply50";
            mass = 50;
            scope = 0;
            type = 801;
            uniformClass = PCT_Scavenger_01;
            uniformModel = "-";
        };
    };
};``` perhaps this is wrong somehow?

grand zinc Sep 19, 2019, 8:07 AM

#

go up one more level

#

class Uniform_Base;
class U_BG_Guerilla3_1 : Uniform_Base {
class ItemInfo;
}
class PCT : U_BG_Guerilla3_1 {
class ItemInfo: ItemInfo {
}

west monolith Sep 19, 2019, 8:14 AM

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

it shows up in config viewer, all nice and inherited

#

but it's still not appearing on the character

#

v_v

#

I wish I knew why this uniform has trouble but the other one doesn't :/

west monolith Sep 19, 2019, 9:23 AM

#

i rather dislike whoever chose to make the side restrictions for uniforms work the way they do -_-

#

couldn't the same effect have been achieved without linking a uniform to a specific unit??

grand zinc Sep 19, 2019, 9:25 AM

#

No idea why it works the way it works either

west monolith Sep 19, 2019, 9:41 AM

#

x_x i hope that this issue doesn't affect too many of my loadouts that i plan to use

west monolith Sep 19, 2019, 10:02 AM

#

Okay. it should be obvious if you look at how uniforms are defined but they also don't get their appearance from their own config. they get it from the model parameter of the soldier they are tied to.

So previously I tried inheriting the uniform and changing the basics - i should have checked my inventory rather than just judging how the appearance didn't change. Because it actually did work. In order to make it actually work completely you need to define the model and textures in the custom unit as well

#

Still don't really see the benefit of this. its like. the opposite of modular lol

#

Bohemia pls. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupling_(computer_programming)

west monolith Sep 19, 2019, 1:03 PM

#

Where does one find/define the options for identityTypes? (Head_NATO, G_NATO_default etc) i can't figure it out in the config viewer for some reason :/

grand zinc Sep 19, 2019, 1:05 PM

having an issue with attempting to assign custom gunners and commanders to vehicle slots

according to RHS, the gunnertype command should allow me to assign a custom loadout soldier into the gunner and commander's slot of a vehicle

however, in my current configuration, the gunner and commander do not show up at all :(

            scopeCurator = 2; // Not available in Zeus
            side = 2; // INFOR
            displayName = "GAZ-66 (ZU-23-2)";
            faction    = GLASC_BAF;

            typicalCargo[] = {"glasc_rebel_fsbbaf","glasc_rebel_fsbbaf","glasc_rebel_fsbbaf"};
            gunnerType = "glasc_rebel_fsbbaf"; // RHS advised this command is required to control personnel manning the weapons.

                };
            };
        };```

#

did i miss something?

#

i searched in a search engine, but found only broken forum-posted commands with no resolution

stoic lily Sep 20, 2019, 2:15 AM

#

that turret inheritance looks bad

candid flower Sep 20, 2019, 2:36 AM

#

so im missing inheritance?

#

alrighty

#

ill see what i can do

#

wait, you can specify inheritance in the middle of an open vehicle configuration?

#

i didnt pursue that though because the forum post indicated a failure to resolve the issue, but ill give it a shot

candid flower Sep 20, 2019, 3:07 AM

#

    {
        crew = "IP_B_Helipilot_F_EF";
        displayname = "UH-80 Ghost Hawk (EF, Black)";
        faction = "IP_EUROFORCE";
        hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"\IP_EUROFORCE\air\txt\Heli_Transport_01_ext01_COEFBlack.paa","\IP_EUROFORCE\air\txt\Heli_Transport_01_ext02_COEFBlack.paa"};

This was on the forums...I'm assuming inheritance in this case failed because the name of the new turret class was the same as the original?

well, damnit, my configuration failed 😦

@candid flower you need to recreate the inheritance properly. check RHS configs/config dump/config browser

#

Just load the wrong texture

hearty sandal Sep 20, 2019, 10:50 AM

#

@mellow crow is that a joke?

#

whats with the classnames?

#

how looong is it?

#

start with 1 class and when that works copy another

#

If only couple of uniforms bug, perhaps list those

#

Id wager no one has energy to go through 114 identical looking classes

#

and make sure the uniforms you use actually support retexturing

mellow crow Sep 20, 2019, 11:00 AM

#

This is a practice one

#

I had help from CUp folks

#

So i didn't bother renaming it since i'm just getting the hang to things

#

It's the SURPAT uniforms, it's loading not Surpat.paa but Urban.paa. I checked it and the line seems correct

#

They do support retexturing as most of them works

hearty sandal Sep 20, 2019, 11:05 AM

#

yes but which ones dont work...

#

theres 100 of them

mellow crow Sep 20, 2019, 11:05 AM

again, this is just be dabbling into it and the class name was like that because i made a mistake asked the folks over at CUP who generously corrected them and sent them to me

yup the path to the texture is correct

hearty sandal Sep 20, 2019, 11:07 AM

#

youre textures are all missing the correct suffixes

mellow crow Sep 20, 2019, 11:07 AM

#

because other uniforms that use the same texture shows

hearty sandal Sep 20, 2019, 11:08 AM

#

perhaps that unifrom does not have hiddenselection textures active

I've used the same uniform for other textures and they do show

The earlier ones thatu se the same uniform shows up IG

untold temple Sep 20, 2019, 2:06 PM

@candid flower what you are doing there isn't inheriting the existing turrets at all. You are creating a bunch of new blank turrets with the same classname as the turrets the parent vehicle had, then creating more new turrets that inherit from your now completely empty turret classes, with only the gunnertype parameter

#

Inheritance of an existing class has to be called from the parent class

You can use submunitions for that, but it's probability based. So the outcome of 1 in 20 is only the most likely mix, not 100% guaranteed

thorn leaf Sep 20, 2019, 7:21 PM

#

Yea that's my predicament. I want the 100%

#

So was hoping for other solutions

hot pine Sep 20, 2019, 8:29 PM

#

what about one submunition which is not destroyed upon triggering (your one) which creates 20 secondary?

thorn leaf Sep 21, 2019, 6:52 AM

#

That's what I was thonking of trying

#

I'll experiment with that

holy shit discrete muzzle eye position is fixed, and nobody told me ... https://feedback.bistudio.com/T122806
i'm so mad and happy at the same time 😄 finally proper adjustable sights after all...

strange egret Sep 21, 2019, 1:02 PM

#

lol... no it wasnt, it's only working correctly when bipod/weapon is deployed 👺
that means you have to decide if you want your adjustable optic to work when using bipod OR when standing. And in later case you can trial & error for days until it fits properly

What would I be looking for if I wanted to remove the mapping of a patch to a uniform. A flag on a shoulder of a uniform for instance.

grand zinc Sep 22, 2019, 12:39 AM

#

what do you mean by mapping?

#

you mean the patch is directly attached to the uniform?

crystal walrus Sep 22, 2019, 3:47 AM

#

Yea the patch is on the uniform, like i'm able to find its location in a .paa file but arent you able to remove it altogether from being referenced; and this is in the config isn't it?

hearty sandal Sep 22, 2019, 9:48 AM

#

That would likely be the insignia selection.

#

But no without full access to the original files it can't be completely removed. You probably can set it up as blank/invisible in the config.

i think so....

google hasnt yielded much, so im trying to teach myself, but its not quie working

add 1 new class at a time and test it throughoutly before doing another

hot pine Sep 22, 2019, 5:45 PM

I would recommend looking at gref vehicle config as reference

candid flower Sep 23, 2019, 1:28 AM

#

@hot pine since you responded to my ticket, perhaps you'd be willing to work with me one-on-one?

hearty sandal Sep 23, 2019, 10:05 AM

#

@candid flower don't expect people to have that kind of time.

#

If some of your things work already you should isolate the ones that don't work and compare them to the working ones and list any differences you have.

strange egret Sep 23, 2019, 10:27 AM

candid flower Sep 24, 2019, 1:58 AM

#

yeah....something isnt working right with these 'custom turrets' i suppose is the best way to call them

#

my attempts at creating a custom turret based on inheritance relying upon the vehicle base class resulted in empty turrets

#

ive got another idea however..

simple trout Sep 24, 2019, 3:16 AM

#

if I make a random object, like a canteen, how do I make it show up in arsenal under items?

hearty sandal Sep 24, 2019, 9:41 AM

#

@candid flower you can't just add turrets. You must have exactly same config classes that you inherit and then overwrite with changes you want to make.

#

@simple trout make it some item type.

candid flower Sep 24, 2019, 11:50 AM

#

Oh

#

@simple trout '''scopeArsenal = 2''' in the config entries of weapons, vests, backpacks, and items sould have them show up

grand zinc Sep 24, 2019, 11:54 AM

#

no

#

you need to have it be a type that shows up in some category

candid flower Sep 24, 2019, 1:13 PM

#

Well that too XD

simple trout Sep 24, 2019, 2:32 PM

#

I got it to work with cba. I'm not sure if bi made a special type for random items but cba got it to work. Thanks

hearty sandal Sep 24, 2019, 5:15 PM

#

by "random" do you mean like you have selection of items you want to have randomly on you, or "random" just any kind of object

opal crater Sep 24, 2019, 8:36 PM

#

I think he means inventory items that are just there for show without functionality. For scripting etc.

#

https://github.com/CBATeam/CBA_A3/blob/master/addons/common/CfgWeapons.hpp#L7

CBA just makes them a bipod.

Quick question: I created a custom faction with 3 different camos (Woodland, Desert, Winter) that are missing a few groups in Zeus but not in editor. Let's take Rifleman Squad for example, it shows up in the woodland camo but not in the desert and winter versions. I copied and pasted the CFG Groups and CFG Patches from the woodland version to the other versions (while fixing them to their code) and the problem occurs again.

Is there any way to solve this?

low sonnet Sep 26, 2019, 7:17 AM

Nvm, I found the problem. an extra letter from one of the units borked it

Have a question about CfgAmmo. Can a missile be declared to lock both air and ground targets? I'm leaning towards no because it seems that the entry airlock is a boolean and from what I can tell its only an either or scenario. Figured I'd ask here though to be sure

Hi all - I'm new to the discord and am looking for some help for some custom objects I'm working on. I'm looking to create a weapon that has the ability to smoothly zoom from a very low level of magnification to a high level. Would this channel be the right place to get some advice/insight?

I have one vehicle with a useraction assigned to it, I want other vehicles to go to it and get an option to execute a script.

This is what i currently have.

            {
                //displayNameDefault = "<img image='\A3\Ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\Actions\open_door_ca.paa' size='2.5' />"; // This is displayed in the center of the screen just below crosshair. In this case it's an icon, not a text.
                displayName = "Activate Catapault 1"; // Label of the action used in the action menu itself.
                position = "Catapault_1_trigger"; // Point in Memory lod in p3d around which the action is available.
                priority = 0.4; // Priority coefficient used for sorting action in the action menu.
                radius = 15; // Range around the above defined point in which you need to be to access the action.
                onlyForPlayer = true; // Defines if the action is available only to players or AI as well.
                condition = "(vehicle player) && (alive this)"; // Condition for showing the action in action menu. 
                statement = "([this, execVM ""IMN\carrier\script\functions\IMN_Catapault1.sqf""])"; // Action taken when this action is selected in the action menu. In this case it calls a function that opens the door.
            };```

#

Ingame no option appears to activate the useraction.
I have a feeling my condition is wrong, any ideas?

How do paths within addons work?
For instance I have a path to an icon within my addon made by these ACE/CBA macros from the ACE addon template: (it works and gets resolved by arma)
icon = \z\project_0\addons\ui\markers\notification_top_right.paa";
What is z? Where is it? Is it an ace-only thing or is it an arma thing?

hearty sandal Sep 29, 2019, 3:19 PM

#

ace thing

#

I think

grand creek Sep 29, 2019, 3:20 PM

#

How does arma resolve it then?
" \ " is the arma root, right?

hearty sandal Sep 29, 2019, 3:20 PM

#

yeah

#

when P: drive is used the P:\ represents the engine root

#

so P:\folder\another\ becomes \folder\another\ in engine

#

for me that path above makes little sense but perhaps it keeps things better organized

#

or is some other form of higher thinking

grand creek Sep 29, 2019, 3:24 PM

#

I still don't understand how arma resolves Z 🤔

grand zinc Sep 29, 2019, 3:25 PM

#

What is z?
a virtual folder
Where is it?
nowhere, it's virtual
Is it an ace-only thing or is it an arma thing?
Arma thing. All arma things have a3 as prefix.
ACE just chose
z

#

CBA is x

#

its just the pboprefix

#

if you have config.cpp, with a pbo prefix of "z\ace\addons\mod"
then you will end up with
"z\ace\addons\mod\config.cpp"

grand creek Sep 29, 2019, 3:29 PM

#

Ok, so an addon tells arma what its pbo prefix is somewhere? I see a $PBOPREFIX$ file in the addon source, which I assume has the prefix we are talking about, but where in the release version of the addon is this thing specified for an engine to read?

#

ah nvm it's right in the pbo as well

#

Ok then it's clear, thx Men 😄 and HorribleGoat

grand zinc Sep 29, 2019, 3:31 PM

#

open a pbo in notepad++

#

youll see the prefix entry at the start

32 or 64?

grand creek Sep 29, 2019, 5:33 PM

They typically use around 64x64 in arma

boreal surge Sep 29, 2019, 5:33 PM

oh ok

grand creek Sep 29, 2019, 5:33 PM

32x32 is probably too low detail

you can make them any size actually

it still must be power of two of course

Quick question for model.cfg in the context of a custom tank. Do uh, do selections need to be named in their Czech naming?

so then I just have to make sure I tell the classes and what not to use whatever selection name then. Alright. Will have to do testing when I get to that point. Still trying to understand all the requirements for a custom vehicle.

Arma 3 sample models should help.

for example, I know we need a memory LOD, just not fully sure how to create all the points and stuff. So far it looks like I could use Blender and Arma Tools for easy hitpoint generation, but the memory points might have to be done by hand it seems.
