@austere prism Here's an example of a CfgGroups object I use:

class CfgGroups {
    class West {
        name = "$STR_A3_CfgGroups_West0";    // name of WEST
    side = 1;     // put in "WEST" tab of groups

        class m13thCav {
            name = "13th Cavalry";    // name of "faction"

            class Infantry {
                name = "Infantry";    // name of "type"

                class CompanyHQ {
                    faction = "m13thCav";    // custom faction
                    name = "Company HQ (MC)";    // name of "group"
                    side = 1;    // force side to WEST

Hi all, can anyone help with my preProcessor inabilities...

#define SUBPATH "subpath\"
#define SCRIPTNAME "myscript.sqf"

//Script
private _data = [] call compileFinal preprocessFile (SUBPATH + SCRIPTNAME );```

#

works fine

#

but.....

#

class myPicControl {
          text = 'SUBPATH PICNAME';
}```
obviously doesn't because of quotes

#

does anyone have an elegant solution?

#

how can I use the same macros in scripts AND class defines? Or do I have to specify my paths twice in different macros?

dim pumice Nov 4, 2019, 7:29 PM

Hi again guys, I was just wondering, besides the parameters listed in the planes cfg reference in the BIwiki, what has an effect on an aircrafts flight characteristics? I've been trying to adjust a flight model for some time now but it seems like even with very similar configuration to a reference the aircraft still flies differently

hearty sandal Nov 4, 2019, 7:31 PM

#

mass distributin of the geometry lod does affect it too

#

what kind of adjustment are you after?

dim pumice Nov 4, 2019, 7:44 PM

#

@hearty sandal The aircraft I'm adjusting seems to be taking a very long time to get airborne, needs to reach around 270 to even get the elevator to lift the nose up, but then it also will then have incredibly high lift when its flying making it climb and turn far too well

#

and as I adjust to fix one thing like so

#

it worsens the other aspect

#

I can't seem to reach a balance

#

It seems to be primarily balancing the takeoff characteristics and climb capability with general flight characteristics that is the issue

#

I've noticed I seem to be inputting much higher envelope values than the reference aircraft to get the plane to take off in reasonable time, and much lower elevator sensitivity and coefs to make the aircraft turn less excessively

#

but then when it does takeoff in a short time and I make the envelope high, it will just climb straight up with ease

hearty sandal Nov 4, 2019, 7:52 PM

#

how much mass do you have on it?

dim pumice Nov 4, 2019, 7:57 PM

#

Unfortunately I don't know right now as its a config edit I'm doing for another aircraft

#

I was wondering if the ingame "GetMass" command gave that value

#

or if that was just an ingame thing

#

Because I did notice the mass value I got from that gave me a significantly higher mass for this aircraft than the reference

hearty sandal Nov 4, 2019, 7:58 PM

#

I think if you cant access the model you will be out of luck

dim pumice Nov 4, 2019, 7:59 PM

#

I see, I hear that

#

Why is that do you know? Is there aspects of the mass that critically affect the general properties

#

I thought if I made certain adjustments to it I could get a similar profile

#

Compensating for whatever the mass difference was

hearty sandal Nov 4, 2019, 8:02 PM

#

the distribution of the mass affects a lot of it yes

#

as far as I know at least

#

never tried to modify plane that I can adjust the model as well so I got no experience in what you are doing

dim pumice Nov 4, 2019, 8:09 PM

#

I got you

hearty sandal Nov 4, 2019, 8:13 PM

#

the cfg wiki pages dont also necessarily list all available parameters so it may be quite the uphill battle

#

have you altered the physX config for the plane at all?

dim pumice Nov 4, 2019, 8:14 PM

#

Don't believe so, I'm not sure what those parameters would be

#

I have tried to normalise the draconicforce values

#

which seemed to go okay

restive veldt Nov 4, 2019, 8:40 PM

#

I got a question about CfgFunctions: How do i set it up properly in a mod? For whatever reason, I am getting errors saying it is not finding the files associated with the functions. I'm certain they are named right. Here is my CfgFunctions content:

class CfgFunctions
{
    class CRW
    {
        tag = "CRW";
        class Default
        {
            file = "func";
            class onButtonClick {};
            class onExecuteLocal {};
            class onExecuteServer {};
            class onExecuteGlobal {};
        };
    };
};```

#

in the mod folder is config.cpp and a folder func which contains the above mentioned .sqf files. IDK what I'm doing wrong

#

all the files have the appropriate fn_ prefix as well

#

Disregard, I think i fixed it. I forgot to put the pbo name in the file path

This might be a slightly stupid question since it might be something extremely simple, but I couldn't find it anyway: if an helicopter has a turret camera accessible by the CoPilot, how would I, in the config, allow it to be used by the Pilot when the CoPilot isn't there?

Afaik If its made as a turret seat for the copilot then it can't be accessed by the pilot.

If someone could message me and hopefully get into a call with me and maybe walk me through it that would be very helpful.

#

@quasi sonnet i dont see a section that is specific for vehicles where can i find that

quasi sonnet Nov 6, 2019, 10:34 AM

#

You did not say it is for vehicles. For vehicles it is kinda easy, normally you have to replace the hiddenTextures paths or do it with setObjectTexture.

full rock Nov 6, 2019, 10:35 AM

#

my bad on that but how exactly do i do that i tried using sabres config samples but i couldnt get the textures i made ingame to show up

    hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"sab_maliveries\data\Blimp_BoS.paa"};
    
};

ok so let me get this straight

the class name at the start blimp1 is the class name i write?
2.the second class sab_wwi_zeppelin is the original vehicle?

#

@quasi sonnet

No blimp1 and your name have to be changed
Also you need to check which hiddenSelectionsTexture is just in which order

question:

I'm trying to make a modified variant of an RHS M249. Tweaked the recoil etc. and everything is good, but I'm trying to alter the dispersion and rate of fire. From my understanding it seems to be linked to fire modes, but when I try to inherit from its existing fire modes and tweak dispersion and reloadTime I lose all gunshot sounds and the recoil is completely broken. Anyone have experience with this? Can't find any documentation on how to use fire modes without breaking anything..

woven flax Nov 6, 2019, 9:39 PM

#

Use the same values they do

#

If your altering their firerates and such I believe you have to define everything they did

wise oasis Nov 6, 2019, 9:40 PM

#

I literally copy pasted the code and I'm getting an error about missing a StandardSound or something along those lines

#

hmm

untold temple Nov 6, 2019, 9:42 PM

#

You don't shouldn't have to redefine everything if you write the inheritances properly

wise oasis Nov 6, 2019, 9:45 PM

#

so im inheriting from a non-base version of their m249s - do i need to define/list out (idk the term) all of the machineguns that lead up to the base class?

#

FWIW i've got rhs weapons etc listed as required addons

untold temple Nov 6, 2019, 9:48 PM

#

for every subclass indent, you usually need to begin inheriting from one class further back

wise oasis Nov 6, 2019, 9:49 PM

#

hmm alright

#

thanks for the pointers

#

👍

untold temple Nov 6, 2019, 9:53 PM

//Calling external classes

//My custom weapon
class My_Weapon: Parent_Weapon

    {
        //Modified values

Is there a way to mask a unit from IR Sensors?

grand zinc Nov 7, 2019, 2:23 PM

#

There is stealth armor that hides thermal signature of a unit, i think its from apex

woven flax Nov 7, 2019, 2:28 PM

And this directly effects the IR sensor component?

grand zinc Nov 7, 2019, 2:31 PM

#

AH Sensor, I thought a user looking through TI.

austere prism Nov 7, 2019, 2:39 PM

#

How can I do ```hpp
class ace_arsenal_display;
class ace_arsenal_display: ace_arsenal_display {
class controls;
class controls: controls {
class menuBar;
class menuBar: menuBar {
class controls;
class controls: controls {
class buttonHide;
class buttonHide: buttonHide {
onButtonClick = QUOTE([ctrlParent (_this select 0)] call FUNC(button));
};
};
};
};
};

without causing recursion?

grand zinc Nov 7, 2019, 2:39 PM

#

class ace_arsenal_display; whats that supposed to do?

#

Ah I see

#

class ace_arsenal_display: ace_arsenal_display thats not valid, thats not the correct parent

#

https://github.com/acemod/ACE3/blob/master/addons/arsenal/ui/RscAttributes.hpp#L4 it has no parent

#

Thus instead of

class ace_arsenal_display;
class ace_arsenal_display: ace_arsenal_display {

you just do

class ace_arsenal_display {

#

class controls: controls again, same thing, controls has no parent

austere prism Nov 7, 2019, 2:41 PM

#

ah ok

#

would I still do menuBar: menuBar or menuBar: RscControlsGroupNoScrollbars?

grand zinc Nov 7, 2019, 2:43 PM

#

class ace_arsenal_display {
class controls {
class RscControlsGroupNoScrollbars;
class menuBar: RscControlsGroupNoScrollbars {
class controls {
class ctrlButton;
class buttonHide: ctrlButton {}
}
}
}
}

austere prism Nov 7, 2019, 2:44 PM

#

Ok, so even though I'm changing a property but want to leave the rest I still need to inherit the base?

grand zinc Nov 7, 2019, 2:44 PM

#

if you want to keep everything as is, you also keep inheritance as is

#

you are modifying a existing class, you aren't creating a new one

austere prism Nov 7, 2019, 2:46 PM

#

so would I use

delete buttonHide;
class buttonHide: ctrlButton {

if I wanted to replace it entirely then?

grand zinc Nov 7, 2019, 2:48 PM

#

you cannot do delete in the same config as you readd it

#

you'd need to delete in one config, and re-add in a second config thats loaded later via cfgPatches/requiredAddons

austere prism Nov 7, 2019, 2:48 PM

#

I see

#

interesting, thanks

I seem to be having an issue getting a texture to show on a vehicle. I've done this many times before with no issues so I'm not sure what's going on. It just spawns with the default texture. Config is below.

        side = 1;
        scope = 2;

        hiddenSelections[]= {"camo","camo2"};
        hiddenSelectionsTextures[]= {"\Factions_of_Nobetci\Data\Kinzhal\Vehicles\Cars\Offroad\offroad_black_co.paa","\Factions_of_Nobetci\Data\Kinzhal\Vehicles\Cars\Offroad\offroad_black_co.paa"};

woven flax Nov 7, 2019, 9:17 PM

@frail oak https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Vehicle_Customization You need to add class texturesources

            class CleanTextures
            {
                displayName = "_No Decal";
                author = "ML700 Dev team";
                textures[] =
                {
                    "ML700_Valkyrie\Data\DecalBlank_CA.paa", "ML700_Valkyrie\Data\Exterior_Clean_CO.paa"

                    "ML700_ImperialGuard"

quick question, is it possible to say; on the pawnee change the config so people sat on the benches can't raise their guns and shoot?

would it involve changing them from a "turret" to "cargo"?

Hi guys, just a little question about config/addon structure

#

I was looking inside another addon to see how everything was compiled and I noticed that for a lot of assets, the file path (for example for a sound) was not actually accurate to the real path

#

To a point, once it got inside the pbo everything was correct but prior to that, rather than being addons/myaddon.pbo there was 2 other file layers above so it was like x/x/myaddon

#

How does this get defined so it still functions as the correct path?

@dim pumice https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/PBOPREFIX

yes and no... with Mikero Tools and a working P drive you won't need a PBOPREFIX file at all

Anyone found a usage for the decon and antidote kits in the Contact platform update? I see classnames but they're hidden "scope=1;"

#

Was gonna add them to some chemo units for RP/immersion factors (if it works), just was curious if anyone else had seen mods making use of them for their intended purpose

strong shuttle Nov 12, 2019, 12:51 PM

#

Are you sure? Because the latest update made most Contact stuff available.

eg. AntidoteKit_01_F and DeconKit_01_F have both scope = 2; and scopeCurator = 2;

hot pine Nov 12, 2019, 1:01 PM

#

@strong shuttle there are inventory variants with scope = 1

#

they were supposed to be part of CBRN module but obviously there was no time to make it working

narrow crow Nov 12, 2019, 1:13 PM

#

is it possible to change sound/fire effect on a launcher depending on ammo you load?

#

trying to make the Carl Gustaf with more ammo options,. Some shouldn't have the loud sound and huge backblast (as the ADM 401 is gas pressure released flechettes and not explosive)

#

only way i can figure out is making it with scripting or different muzzles, but if i have different muzzles you will be able to load 2 rounds at once.. so you have one HEAT and one ADM 401 loaded :/

#

i know cfgmagazine can overwrite init speed, but guess thats about it?

maiden lodge Nov 13, 2019, 12:03 AM

Im almost there to make a first public re-release of my Apache mod. However Im running into two issues.

Laser designator weapon is not available to gunner in MP. It is in SP.
pylon system is set for the heli and weapons are assigned to the gunner...does that have anything tondo with it?
Countermeasures are not launching. Added to the pilot Vissibly available in the UI with 168 rounds

What exactly are the differences between

ffCount=1
ffFrequency=1
ffMagnitude=0.0

#

They all just say Description Force feedback.

grand zinc Nov 13, 2019, 7:29 PM

#

magnitude is how strong
frequency is how fast alternating.
count is.. how often

woven flax Nov 13, 2019, 7:29 PM

#

so higher = more kick basically

grand zinc Nov 13, 2019, 7:29 PM

#

yeah

#

but.. does that stuff even work?

#

I haven't heard of force feedback working in arma

woven flax Nov 13, 2019, 7:30 PM

#

im not sure, im trying to fix my static weapon flying away without making it stupid heavy

grand zinc Nov 13, 2019, 7:31 PM

#

force feedback has nothing at all to do with that

#

thats how your gamepad vibrates in your hand.

#

like.. you know.. xbox/playstation controllers

#

And I'm very sure thats not actually enabled in engine and these entries do literally nothing

hot pine Nov 13, 2019, 7:31 PM

grand zinc Nov 13, 2019, 7:35 PM

maybe we need wiki pages for making specific things, that have a list of all things you need to pay attention to. But nobody have time writing biki pages ^^

livid heath Nov 14, 2019, 10:29 AM

#

For cfgGroups classes to be spawnable in zeus, do we need to list them in cfgPatches in an array like units[] and weapons[] ? if so in which param array do they go?

grand zinc Nov 14, 2019, 10:37 AM

#

no need to list them. All zeus reads from CfgPatches is units entry.
groups are taken directly from CfgGroups

#

It however checks the classes of the units inside the group, to whether they are allowed.
If just one of them is not allowed, the whole group is not allowed

livid heath Nov 14, 2019, 10:48 AM

thanks!

I'm really lost..
I cannot let my helicopter drop flares.

Added the weapon[]=CMFlareLauncher to the cfgVehicle root together with the Magazines[]={168_CMFlare_chaff_magazine}
driverHasFlares=true

The Flares and fire modes are showing, with a total of 168 ammo.
Firemodes can be switched.
Flares are not launching. (yes key is bound)

And it does work on vanilla helicopters....

#

Memorypoints are defined aswell

brave root Nov 15, 2019, 12:53 PM

#

I have no clue when it comes to vehicle weapons, however I'm pretty certain you need to replace weapon[]=CMFlareLauncher with weapons[] = {CMFlareLauncher}?

#

As well as, maybe CMFlareLauncher needs to be a string?

maiden lodge Nov 15, 2019, 7:33 PM

#

ok yeah I just typed it quickly here. Yes the {} are there and it are strings

#

again: The launcher and ammo seems available in the UI with 168 ammo count. You can even switch modes. but cannot launch.

bold marlin Nov 16, 2019, 6:39 AM

So... I'm trying to add a custom collection of things to the inventory of a supply crate B_SupplyCrate_F. Some of the things do get applied, but so does the default crap... crap that I don't want in there.

I've done this by adding the items/mags/etc. to the config of this new object. See here: https://github.com/2bnb/2bnb-extras/blob/master/addons/core/CfgVehicles.hpp#L6

So, I'm starting to understand that by doing what I do in that file, the items get appended to the existing list of stuff. How do I get all those things that were applied by default to not be there anymore?

#

I've checked how ACE and RHS do it, and can't find any real differences between the configs... so I have no clue.

bold marlin Nov 16, 2019, 7:56 AM

#

Disregard the above question, I solved it in https://github.com/2bnb/2bnb-extras/commit/33fbb84949fb608fd167d989017e3b751caa681e

warped perch Nov 19, 2019, 5:12 AM

Has to do with the speed and also simulation type potentially. For shotShell at least, if it is <390-450m/s it will be visible. Unsure how it works for others.

How does armor in the config.cpp interact with the named property 'armor' in the p3d geomerty LOD??

delete no work if other classes inherit from your vehicle

whats your target? make it unspawnable? hide in 3den/zeus?

delete it from the origin config

My notebook. I want to have a optional pbo that deletes the item and make it clientside. The keybinds and evh are working without the item but I want the item to be removed too

#

There is no inherit from it

grand zinc Nov 27, 2019, 2:38 PM

#

then delete should work

#

CfgPatches in optional, needs to require the first pbo

#

the delete needs to run after the initial registration of the class

class CfgVehicles {
    class Item_Base_F;

I don't see delete

I just see valid inheritance without adding additional entries to the class

I thought you meant that by "the obvious one"

quasi sonnet Nov 27, 2019, 2:41 PM

#

no the obvious one was to edit the origin file to delete the item

#

But next time I will explain it in detail

#

I maybe doing something wrong, but delete doesn't work for me. Config is loaded. CfgPatches has the first pbo inside, but I still have the config in the config viewer and I can see the item in the arsenal

#

wait a second, my bad, there is inherit, of course there is

grand zinc Nov 27, 2019, 2:58 PM

#

then you need to delete all classes that inherit from it, before you delete the root NotebookItem

#

Not sure if that actually works like that, but I hope so

quasi sonnet Nov 27, 2019, 3:01 PM

I'm looking at this atm: https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/170633-removing-class-useractions/?tab=comments#comment-2671134
But I don't get this kind of error message and inherit from Item_Base_F adds maybe 30 children classes. Even then i go down to the children classes to delete them it doesn't work so I need to look for something else

#

I'm doing something else now, but thanks for the help

grand zinc Nov 27, 2019, 3:14 PM

#

doesn't matter what you inherit FROM, it matters what inherits from your class that you are trying to delete

#

Isn't it enough to just hide the item in arsenal?

quasi sonnet Nov 27, 2019, 3:15 PM

#

I wanted to make it real client side

opal crater Nov 27, 2019, 3:17 PM

I'm not sure if client side CfgVehicles class is a good idea

#

scripts? yes
items/objects? no

quasi sonnet Nov 27, 2019, 3:17 PM

#

That's why I wanted to delete that class

#

So I can move the pbo out of optionals that revert all changes to CfgVehicles. But I'am now splitting it into two pbo and you need to delete one pbo to get it client sided

hey guys, ive been looking into some configs of "uniform retexture mods" to kind of "decrypt" the way they work, because i couldnt get exisiting threads and posts about it to work with my weird head. Is there anybody that can answer me 2-3 more questions ? thats all i would need to get going i guess.

grand zinc Nov 28, 2019, 7:25 PM

#

just ask away

#

They are done through hiddenSelectionTextures.
Basically parts of the models textures, can be configured via the config, and you just replace it with your own

proven bison Nov 28, 2019, 7:35 PM

https://pastebin.com/Zt5wueeG this is my current progress.... my only question would be to help me fill in the spots i didnt, because i cant realy move forward from here

grand zinc Nov 28, 2019, 7:45 PM

#

picture is not important

#

hiddenSelectionTextures has the filepath to your new texture

idle matrix Nov 28, 2019, 7:57 PM

#

model should also not be important

grand zinc Nov 28, 2019, 8:00 PM

#

You probably shouldn't change that at all. You should inherit from the item you are editing

idle matrix Nov 28, 2019, 8:00 PM

#

lemme make an example from a config I made for my reskins

proven bison Nov 28, 2019, 8:02 PM

to clarivy: i want to create a mod that adds multiple vanilla items in my own camos... adding to the existing items not replacing

hey guys, having some issues with a config i think. i have a model that is configged as a house, i'm trying to give it a destruct model but its not switching to the destruct model despite all my efforts. i've looked through the sample models, i've looked in other mods and so far no bueno. is there anybody that could lend a hand, it would be greatly appreciated.

hearty sandal Nov 29, 2019, 9:33 AM

#

it requires specific destruction type and destructionEffects+ruin class

#

like in the sample house from steam

pseudo ermine Nov 29, 2019, 5:46 PM

#

@hearty sandal yeah i followed this https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Building_Configs as well as the sample models for the house, and went into the game to check several buildings in config viewer and even looked into other mods. i think i have the base code down but i am probably missing 1 crucial little step that will get it working, its just my first time doing it so i might be missing something im not even familiar with. would be great to have a 2nd set of eyes on the config.cpp and model.cfg just to do a sanity check for myself.

proven bison Nov 29, 2019, 6:42 PM

Somehow i cant make my uniform texture appear in the arsenal (only a test texture, because I'm trying to figure out the config) any idea why ? I dont want to create units for the editor wearing them, if possible, just for players/arsenal.

#

https://pastebin.com/QdV11AuT

idle matrix Nov 29, 2019, 6:51 PM

#

well for starters you don't need brackets in the hiddenselections bits

#

I think you can get rid of the starting \ in the texture filepath too

#

also you really don't have to worry about scope stuff

#

no wait I'm dumb you do need those brackets

#

just used to different formatting

#

anyway does the item itself not appear or does it use a different weird texture?

#

oh, also, uniformClass of dtr_officer_test should refer back to the class in cfgVehicles

proven bison Nov 29, 2019, 6:58 PM

@idle matrix the item doesnt appear at all

fixing your last suggestion right now

@hearty sandal the culprit in question is optre_hallway_door_a. its a door that is config'd like a house so i basically can have individually placeable doors that can be destroyed. its part of a modular setup. https://pastebin.com/0f4MYuZi

thats not a good idea

hearty sandal Nov 29, 2019, 7:39 PM

i'm pretty sure im just missing 1 little thing... cant put a pin on what though

hearty sandal Nov 29, 2019, 7:41 PM

#

how about the destructtype?

pseudo ermine Nov 29, 2019, 7:42 PM

#

tried a few dif

#

had it to destructbuilding or something along those lines

#

if i do that, the model just drops into the ground

#

currently after being destroyed it remains in place

#

which, at 2500m in the air is preferable

#

otherwise ill have doors falling constantly^^

hearty sandal Nov 29, 2019, 7:43 PM

#

destrType = "DestructBuilding";

#

this should be the correct

pseudo ermine Nov 29, 2019, 7:44 PM

#

yeah when i do that, the non destoryed model falls into the ground but no model replaces it

hearty sandal Nov 29, 2019, 7:44 PM

#

yeah the falling is the basic mechanic of the model "breaking down"

pseudo ermine Nov 29, 2019, 7:44 PM

#

yeah

hearty sandal Nov 29, 2019, 7:44 PM

#

Im not sure if ruins are used in any other destruction type either

#

get that and simulation = "house"; on it

pseudo ermine Nov 29, 2019, 7:46 PM

#

ok ill give that a whirl

hearty sandal Nov 29, 2019, 7:47 PM

#

I got a faint recollection that only house simulation type works with that destruction type and ruins

#

Of course you could circumwent this just by making 2 meshes in your door and hiding, showin them by damage values

#

which would negate the use of ruins and the "falling object"

pseudo ermine Nov 29, 2019, 7:49 PM

#

hm thats a good damn point...

#

maybe i've just been overcomplicating that...

#

you happen to have an example for that?

#

not to bother you to much with my troubles 😛

#

that would be hidden selections right?

hearty sandal Nov 29, 2019, 7:51 PM

#

no I would use model.cfg hide animations

#

connected to damage/hitpoints as animation sources

pseudo ermine Nov 29, 2019, 7:51 PM

#

hm ok, never worked with that yet

#

lets see

hearty sandal Nov 29, 2019, 7:52 PM

so theres good examples there

Hi. So the thing is that i'm retexturing a normal looking nato uniform. And i also want it to have the short sleeves version. I saw in a tutorial that they should both be the same, but have model and uniform class of it's own.
Which they do. But for some reason, the one that is supposed to be sleeves, shows as a t-shirt varriant, with only the pants camoed. I don't know where the mistake is. https://pastebin.com/vHGxSb4q

the insigna doesn't work either
here's how the folder they're in, named custom_uniform looks like

what do you mean

@idle matrix

there's a class with long sleeves, one with a folded up sleeves and one with a t-shirt

can you put your config up on pastebin?

well

oh I'm blind nvm

#

lemme take a look

#

okay so I think the model for the rolled up sleeves is number 3

#

not 2

indigo sinew Nov 29, 2019, 11:28 PM

#

i gotta admit that I didn't find the folded up sleeves, all i changed between them was model from b_soldier_0.p3d to b_soldier_02.p3d (short sleeves). Because the guy in the tutorial i watched did the same, but gotta say that he did it with aaf.

#

hmmmm

#

lemme see

idle matrix Nov 29, 2019, 11:29 PM

#

yeah the AAF has it that way as it only has two variants

#

the NATO uniform has three

indigo sinew Nov 29, 2019, 11:29 PM

#

then it actually makes sence for t-shirt to be _02, cuz it showed the t-shirt varriant, only 1 camo

#

niiice. lemme change, open up game and i'll tell ya

#

aldoe, i still don't understand why isn't the insigna working

#

does it need something else that it's .paa?

idle matrix Nov 29, 2019, 11:31 PM

#

it shouldn't

#

also, you might wanna remove hiddenSelectionsMaterials

indigo sinew Nov 29, 2019, 11:32 PM

it shows in arsenal, but no icon, when i click it it doesn't appear

idle matrix Nov 29, 2019, 11:32 PM

#

oh that, yeah IDK how custom insignias work, sorry

#

anyway, arma does not like it much when you use hiddenSelectionsMaterials

#

only a few cases where it works correctly

indigo sinew Nov 29, 2019, 11:32 PM

#

what's that exactly

idle matrix Nov 29, 2019, 11:32 PM

#

it lets you define a custom rvmat

#

and the rvmat is basically the config for the model's shading

#

and a few other bits and bobs

indigo sinew Nov 29, 2019, 11:33 PM

#

oh

idle matrix Nov 29, 2019, 11:34 PM

#

for example in this instance, I reckon if you shoot a person wearing your custom uniform, their limbs and such won't turn bloody

#

because custom rvmats break that system

indigo sinew Nov 29, 2019, 11:35 PM

#

oh

#

ok, i'll remove it

#

also, the patch actualy is put on the uniform

#

but as a shadow

#

does it need a jpeg/png?

idle matrix Nov 29, 2019, 11:36 PM

#

it needs paa :p

#

is the transparency correct?

indigo sinew Nov 29, 2019, 11:36 PM

idle matrix Nov 29, 2019, 11:40 PM

#

okay I instantly see a problem

#

the resolution isn't right

#

needs to be a power of two

#

so for example 256, 512, 1024, 2048,

indigo sinew Nov 29, 2019, 11:41 PM

#

hmmm

idle matrix Nov 29, 2019, 11:42 PM

#

length and width don't need to match, but they have to be a power of two

indigo sinew Nov 29, 2019, 11:42 PM

#

so 256x256?\

#

i don't quite understand what you mean by a power of two

idle matrix Nov 29, 2019, 11:42 PM

#

I think 512x512 would work better

#

it's a mathematical thing

#

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_of_two

indigo sinew Nov 29, 2019, 11:43 PM

#

ah yes.

#

thing is that i use this same patch for a unit, and it works. Are they not the same?

idle matrix Nov 29, 2019, 11:45 PM

#

IDK how the unit patch system works but I imagine it also needs resolutions that are power of two

#

probably somewhere it's automatically cropped or something

#

anyway, try the patch with the right resolution and see what it looks like

indigo sinew Nov 29, 2019, 11:47 PM

ok lemme see

800 is not a power of two, neither is 400

indigo sinew Nov 30, 2019, 12:20 AM

#

hmmmmmm

#

then... could you please tell me a resolution that is acceptable?

idle matrix Nov 30, 2019, 12:21 AM

#

256, 512, 1024, 2048 and 4096 for example are acceptable

#

and then combine those (almost) however you want

indigo sinew Nov 30, 2019, 12:22 AM

#

soo like

#

1024x512?

idle matrix Nov 30, 2019, 12:22 AM

#

I think for an insignia you'd want something evenly square

#

so I'd go with 512x512

#

256x256 might also work depending on how much detail you lose

indigo sinew Nov 30, 2019, 12:23 AM

#

hmmm

#

ok

#

lemme try

#

but

#

512x512

#

looks ulgy

#

https://gyazo.com/6707fd77cb5f16989bc0a6d2e1b82784

#

lol

idle matrix Nov 30, 2019, 12:26 AM

#

uuuh, you could crop the sides and then resize it?

indigo sinew Nov 30, 2019, 12:26 AM

#

oh

#

rite

#

lol

#

https://gyazo.com/8abea58f841910229f085f02d1e870cb

#

aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

#

hmm

#

actually wait, it doesn't look that bad.

indigo sinew Nov 30, 2019, 12:45 AM

#

also @idle matrix btw, what is a .nohq?

#

do i need that near my .paa and .rvmat?

idle matrix Nov 30, 2019, 12:46 AM

#

I have no idea what a .noah file is

grand zinc Nov 30, 2019, 12:46 AM

#

sounds like terrain specific stuff

#

or you have a typo

#

cuz I dunno what noah is

indigo sinew Nov 30, 2019, 12:47 AM

#

nohq*

#

sorry

#

i ment nohq.paa

#

https://gyazo.com/3b27e96cb0988aa4335add35b8d6fdaa

#

this ^

grand zinc Nov 30, 2019, 12:49 AM

#

you probably want to keep the original

#

same with the rvmat, you usually don't change that for a simple retexture

indigo sinew Nov 30, 2019, 12:49 AM

#

it is the original

grand zinc Nov 30, 2019, 12:49 AM

#

plus hiddenSelectionMaterials doesn't work reliably anyway

indigo sinew Nov 30, 2019, 12:50 AM

#

erm

grand zinc Nov 30, 2019, 12:50 AM

#

just leave hiddenSelectionMaterials out completely

indigo sinew Nov 30, 2019, 12:50 AM

#

soo

#

u mean this

grand zinc Nov 30, 2019, 12:51 AM

#

just remove the materials line

indigo sinew Nov 30, 2019, 12:51 AM

#

without this
completely for all of them?

grand zinc Nov 30, 2019, 12:51 AM

#

please no screenshots of text :u

indigo sinew Nov 30, 2019, 12:51 AM

#

ok, should i remove the .rvmat in the pbo aswell?

#

oh sorry.

grand zinc Nov 30, 2019, 12:52 AM

#

rvmat will not be used, so you could aswell remove it

#

but leaving it also doesn't matter

indigo sinew Nov 30, 2019, 12:52 AM

#

oh ok. thanks

indigo sinew Nov 30, 2019, 1:26 AM

#

Could somebody please tell me, what exactly is that textureVehicle doing?

class CfgUnitInsignia
{
class Custom_Insignia
{
displayName = "Vânători de Munte";
author = "Seby";
texture = "\Custom_Uniform\UI\custom_patch_co.paa";
textureVehicle = "";

#

does it put the patch on a vehicle... or?

grand zinc Nov 30, 2019, 1:38 AM

#

never heard of it

#

asked google yet?

indigo sinew Nov 30, 2019, 1:42 AM

#

hmm

#

i did

#

but, nothing relevant came outta it

#

it might have just been me not knowing how to search the correct thing tho

grand zinc Nov 30, 2019, 1:46 AM

#

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

#

// Currently does nothing, reserved for future use

indigo sinew Nov 30, 2019, 1:47 AM

#

oh

#

maybe that idea i had in #arma3_questions ?

#

where you could have a patch and a roundel for your unit. Like patch on the uniform, and roundel on vics

strange egret Nov 30, 2019, 1:50 AM

#

more likely a "sewn" version for uniforms and a painted/more clear version for vehicle

indigo sinew Nov 30, 2019, 1:51 AM

#

naah

#

would be the same thing lol

#

also not everyone want sewn emblems

pallid snow Nov 30, 2019, 4:32 PM

#

I have some custom units made with Alive - however when using ACE, the interactions menu isn't working. Any config entries to add to ensure it works?

#

Even when inherited from the basic rifleman, it still wont work.

strong shuttle Nov 30, 2019, 4:44 PM

#

The interaction menu isn't working at all (so CTRL + WIN and WIN), or only interactions which should be attached to a unit?

#

Because if it's the first; there's something else wrong...
The second should work as long as the units are inherited from All (all interactions) and CManBase (unit interactions).

idle matrix Nov 30, 2019, 7:14 PM

#

What exactly does modelSides define in a uniform's CFGVehicles config?

#

the sides that can wear the uniform?

grand zinc Nov 30, 2019, 7:22 PM

#

ye

anybody familiar with the license plate system for vehicles? need a bit of a hand getting it in right. think i did everything right, but any help is appreciated.

silver karma Dec 2, 2019, 4:32 PM

#

question, I'm trying to convert a config.bin so I can change the map strings, but cfgconvert says "The system cannot find the drive specified", which kinda makes no sense.

It worked fine when convert the config.bin from stratis, and it works with other mods too.. what am I doing wrong here?

#

the mod in question is Kunduz Afghanistan - fixed doors

#

(I don't intend to share or reupload anything, I just found some cool texts..)

stoic lily Dec 2, 2019, 5:32 PM

#

@silver karma use mikero tools instead

silver karma Dec 2, 2019, 5:42 PM

#

@stoic lily I tried deRap but that failed. Which one should I use to convert?

#

Eliteness doesn't work either

stoic lily Dec 2, 2019, 5:46 PM

#

failed in what way?

indigo sinew Dec 2, 2019, 8:04 PM

#

Hi,
So I'm receiving these 2 errors:
when my Arma 3 initialises Addons after I tried organising my Class Names in my config for my retexture mod.
I looked thru the config and to me it seemed fine, although I must admit that I'm new to this. Any Idea what might be causing it and what would be the fix?
Please @ Me if/when replying.

edit: nvm I figured it out

sullen fulcrum Dec 2, 2019, 11:11 PM

#

Does _modelInfo or _getModelInfo actually work to find the model path for a static prop?

#

I tried it and it always said Error missing ;

sullen fulcrum Dec 2, 2019, 11:36 PM

#

Nvm found a way

sullen fulcrum Dec 3, 2019, 12:04 AM

#

And is there a way to turn a model 180 degrees in the z axis in config? Aka drive facing the backside of the model (me and a friend have "ideas")

sullen fulcrum Dec 3, 2019, 1:28 AM

#

And on a very related but seemingly not related matter: a VTOL vehicle I have just flies away whenever it is spawned, no matter what. Anyone know what might be causing this?

hearty sandal Dec 3, 2019, 1:44 AM

#

Not possible and planes with pilots normally fly immediately unless told otherwise.

quasi sonnet Dec 3, 2019, 8:42 AM

#

@sullen fulcrum you can remove the fuel,
set up the waypoints for the VTOL and readd the fuel when you are ready to go

west monolith Dec 3, 2019, 12:49 PM

#

Is it possible to edit CAManBase? None of my changes seem to show up in the in-game config viewer :(

hearty sandal Dec 3, 2019, 1:08 PM

#

Should be possible.
What kind os edits are you making? Is cfgPatches required addons set up right?

west monolith Dec 3, 2019, 1:19 PM

#

actually trying to get an older mod working:

class Man;
class CfgVehicles
{
    class CAManBase: Man
    {
        class TurretBase
        {
            minElev=-4;
            maxElev=20;
            minTurn=-360;
            maxTurn=360;
        };
        mingunturn=-90;
        maxgunturn=90;
        turning=1;
        mingunturnai=-90;
        maxgunturnai=90;
    };
};```
it didn't come with cfgPatches in its config, i should add it probably but i'm not sure exactly what to put

#

TurretBase doesn't even seem to exist in the class now so really it's just a bit of a mess :/

hot pine Dec 3, 2019, 1:24 PM

#

@west monolith that class Man; is in very wrong place

#

it should be in CfgVehicles

west monolith Dec 3, 2019, 1:27 PM

#

Alright, will give that a test when I can. Something tells me this mod has been a placebo for five years lol

sullen fulcrum Dec 3, 2019, 1:35 PM

#

@quasi sonnet Sorry if I wasn't clear

#

The issue isn't the pilot

#

It's that the vehicle just flies

#

Even without pilot

#

Even without fuel

#

It just flies away

#

No matter what

silver karma Dec 3, 2019, 1:39 PM

#

@stoic lily sorry. deRap says DeRap: Not a raP file
eliteness says _ when I choose "open/examine".

got it to work just now by extracting the PBO using eliteness too, instead of PBO manager

#

thanks!

quasi sonnet Dec 3, 2019, 1:46 PM

#

@sullen fulcrum that isn’t really possible. If you have a vehicle without crew and fuel it cannot fly away

grand zinc Dec 3, 2019, 1:46 PM

#

PBO manager
that name has NO place whatsoever outside of maybe #arma3_scenario
If you are in #arma3_config they delete that crap right now.

sullen fulcrum Dec 3, 2019, 1:47 PM

#

I know

#

It shouldn't be possible

#

But I can screenshare xD

quasi sonnet Dec 3, 2019, 1:47 PM

#

Make a video or screenshot it

sullen fulcrum Dec 3, 2019, 1:47 PM

#

Ok, hold on

#

I tried increasing it's mass

#

It would bounce off the ground

#

And fly

#

Then bounce

#

Then go boom

#

I'll admit this is a rather unconventional air vehicle though

quasi sonnet Dec 3, 2019, 1:48 PM

#

Make a video or screenshot it and then come back. And don’t touch the mass if you have no clue about it

sullen fulcrum Dec 3, 2019, 1:48 PM

#

Yeah, I know, I did it in editor

#

I don't have access to the model itself

viral rapids Dec 3, 2019, 1:48 PM

#

is it a helicopter?

sullen fulcrum Dec 3, 2019, 1:49 PM

#

It's inheriting from the Blackfish

#

From Apex

#

It may or may not be quite large

viral rapids Dec 3, 2019, 1:49 PM

#

Mass too high = Opposite effect

sullen fulcrum Dec 3, 2019, 1:49 PM

#

And a CIS Lander

viral rapids Dec 3, 2019, 1:49 PM

#

At least on choppers

#

e.g. the more mass you add on a helicopter, the better/faster it moves (pitch/yaw/roll)

sullen fulcrum Dec 3, 2019, 1:50 PM

#

Ok

#

Hold on, let me see if I still have OBStudio

#

And I'll record it

#

I don't but I'll screenshot

#

Ok I'm having a small issue on my PC, after it turns on it has 100% usage on my secondary disk where everything is installed for like 30min

#

Gonna format this weekend

#

But either way I'll post a screenshot in about 40min

quasi sonnet Dec 3, 2019, 1:53 PM

#

40 min for a screenshot?

sullen fulcrum Dec 3, 2019, 1:54 PM

#

Yeah can't launch arma until the issue goes away

#

Tried everything to fix it, only formatting will work xD

#

ARMA won't even launch

hearty sandal Dec 3, 2019, 2:09 PM

#

probably then sum of many issues. More likely model problem than config problem

sullen fulcrum Dec 3, 2019, 2:19 PM

#

I'd guess so

#

But if I do it as an helicopter it works well

#

Doesn't just fly off

hearty sandal Dec 3, 2019, 2:26 PM

#

well you cant really reliably maka a car use tank config all of a sudden either

#

plane and helo configs are very different

#

and teh model has different requirements

quasi sonnet Dec 3, 2019, 3:28 PM

#

@sullen fulcrum if you just tagged me a minute ago into the screenshot channel, next time don’t switch the channel your problem screenshot can be posted here. Because nobody want to search in the entire Discord. But if you are using the Star Wars mod, Dedman already said that nobody will continue to help you with your problem

You can upload pics to e.g. imgur and link them here

Does anyone know what exactly engineMOI does in tank physx?

hot pine Dec 4, 2019, 8:23 AM

#

it controls engine rpm inertia

#

in simple words - how fast rpm can change & how long it will keep some momentum after you release throttle

#

engineMOI = 0.01 will mean that basically instantly after you release thrust key, your rpm can change from 2300 to idle one

#

engineMOI = 100 on the other hand will make changes to RPM much slower (also RPM increase!)

sullen fulcrum Dec 4, 2019, 6:12 PM

#

By the way, to answer my previous question: I found out that if you do reversed = 1; on the config the model will be flipped back/front

pallid snow Dec 5, 2019, 5:34 PM

#

Got a custom faction not playing nice with ACE. It wont let players use ace interaction on eachother, for medical etc.
I used ALIVE to make the faction and I have made sure it has CAManBase and all as seen here:
["SoldierWB_OCimport_02","SoldierWB_OCimport_01","B_W_Soldier_F","B_Soldier_F","B_Soldier_Base_F","SoldierWB","CAManBase","Man","Land","AllVehicles","All"]
Any ideas as to how to fix this issue?

idle matrix Dec 5, 2019, 5:59 PM

#

can you stick the config in pastebin?

livid heath Dec 6, 2019, 11:09 AM

#

does the underbarrel proxy actually work in arma 3? are there any examples of it having been used to setup for example a removeable m203 launcher on a rifle?

#

i'm interested primarily in the ability to add or remove muzzles to a weapon using a proxy

novel lava Dec 6, 2019, 11:11 AM

#

it's used for bipods

#

you'd only be able to do something like that by using a script to swap the weapon out, cant add muzzles with an attachment as is

livid heath Dec 6, 2019, 11:17 AM

#

thx

#

shame, would have been a neat feature for rifle grenades and bayonets eh?

novel lava Dec 6, 2019, 11:18 AM

#

well, I mean, the scripted aspect isn't a big deal

#

just a bit clumsy

livid heath Dec 6, 2019, 11:18 AM

#

it's a bit too hacky for my tastes

#

yeah

sullen fulcrum Dec 6, 2019, 11:19 AM

#

We used to do scripted weapon swaps in Arma 2 for suppressor removal so while hacky also gets the job done in about the best way the game allows.

novel lava Dec 6, 2019, 11:20 AM

#

the main drawback to it is AI use but.. its not like AI fit attahcments themselves

#

if you're scripting them to put an attachment on, just script the weapon swap too

pallid snow Dec 6, 2019, 11:26 AM

#

@idle matrix Hey mate sorry had something come up yesterday last minute. This is the config, luckily it's on github so you've got everything haha: <https://github.com/56curious/VKN_Official_Mod
/blob/master/VKN_Extensions/VKN_Extensions_Characters/cfgVehicles/Viking_PMC_ODIN.hpp>

All of the unit imports are here: <https://github.com/56curious/VKN_Official_Mod
/blob/master/VKN_Extensions/VKN_Extensions_Characters/imports.hpp>

#

It's really weird to it's actual cause though, something is "turning it off" rather than it not being inherited correctly... I think

idle matrix Dec 6, 2019, 12:10 PM

#

this was all set up using alive?

pallid snow Dec 6, 2019, 12:10 PM

#

Yeah

idle matrix Dec 6, 2019, 12:11 PM

#

Can't say I've ever made custom factions but this seems like an odd way to go about it

#

I mean how alive formats it all

pallid snow Dec 6, 2019, 12:11 PM

#

Yeah I agree

#

but I didn't personally make them, one of the group members did. I just got it to go in game

#

this issue has been here for months

#

But I've tried asking alive but they weren't much help

#

Hell almost a year old bug ahah, 9th March

idle matrix Dec 6, 2019, 12:17 PM

#

what if you made a class that at no point, not even in it's inheritance tree, mentions eventhandlers?

#

also, in the cfgpatches, is ace mentioned?

pallid snow Dec 6, 2019, 12:18 PM

#

The EHs seem to just do what the config does, right

#

Uh let me see

idle matrix Dec 6, 2019, 12:18 PM

#

it might just be loading before ace does maybe idk?

#

well tbh the eventhandlers seem kind of pointless

pallid snow Dec 6, 2019, 12:19 PM

#

<https://github.com/56curious/VKN_Official_Mod
/blob/master/VKN_Extensions/VKN_Extensions_Characters/config.cpp#L387> I don't see the general ace addon, but it seems to mention all of them instead

idle matrix Dec 6, 2019, 12:19 PM

#

the CBA one should be there normally anyway I believe and the alive one just seems to add the backpack the unit already has

pallid snow Dec 6, 2019, 12:20 PM

#

I'll first give the general ACE addon a go, if no luck i'll remove the EH and see what that gives

idle matrix Dec 6, 2019, 12:20 PM

#

I don't see the ace interaction stuff in that list

pallid snow Dec 6, 2019, 12:21 PM

#

hmm

#

Might just be as simple as the missing addon 🤔

#

ace_interaction and ace_interact_menu right?

idle matrix Dec 6, 2019, 12:23 PM

#

think so yeah

pseudo ermine Dec 6, 2019, 3:14 PM

hey guys i need a bit of help here. i have a sliding door model, it opens on useraction as normal but i would like it to close itself after 10 seconds. i was wondering if there is some code that i can put in the statement field in the config.cpp that would make that happen. i was experimenting with stuff last night but didnt manage to get it working. here is the most relevant part in pastebin. https://pastebin.com/m8rusicz

#

one thing i tried was this

#

going from statement = "this animate [""Door_1_a_rot"",1]; this animate [""Door_1_b_rot"",1];";

#

to statement = "this animate [""Door_1_a_rot"",1]; this animate [""Door_1_b_rot"",1];[] spawn {sleep 5; door actions here};";

#

basically after sleep 5, the door actions would reverse

#

i got an error there though so i'm curious if im on the right track or if its even possible

#

if anybody could take a look that be great 🙂

opal crater Dec 6, 2019, 3:22 PM

#

statement = "
    this animate ['Door_1_a_rot', 1]; 
    this animate ['Door_1_b_rot', 1];

    this spawn {
        sleep 5;
        _this animate ['Door_1_a_rot', 0];
        _this animate ['Door_1_b_rot', 0];
    };
";

pseudo ermine Dec 6, 2019, 3:24 PM

#

Ill give that a shot thanks

#

quick question on that

#

does ' replace ""?

#

thats more a general coding question

#

i suppose

opal crater Dec 6, 2019, 3:26 PM

#

' can be used inside "

pseudo ermine Dec 6, 2019, 3:26 PM

#

ok

#

cuase i saw you changed ""Door_1_b_rot"" to 'Door_1_a_rot'

opal crater Dec 6, 2019, 3:27 PM

#

or other other way too.

#

But I don't recall if 'string' works in configs right now. 🤷‍♂️

#

works in sqf

pseudo ermine Dec 6, 2019, 3:27 PM

#

ok ill give it a shot, worst case back to the drawing board 🙂

#

@opal crater that worked, thanks man. beers on me 😛

opal crater Dec 6, 2019, 3:32 PM

#

yw. 🍻

sullen fulcrum Dec 6, 2019, 4:19 PM

#

I would add to the above a check that if the door is closed you don't try to run anything. The player might have closed it behind them if it is an action. The moment you sleep the state could have changed so check it is in the right state before you proceed with running anything. Might not apply but something to consider.

opal crater Dec 6, 2019, 4:44 PM

#

Trying to close it if it was closed manually does not hurt.

#

What could hapen tho is open (spawns script 1) => close => open (spawns script 2)

#

is closed after shorter time than expected due to first script going out of sleep

viral rapids Dec 6, 2019, 5:05 PM

#

Why not go with animationSource?

tame cedar Dec 7, 2019, 4:16 PM

#

sorry for the dumb question, but I've had some trouble finding where to start:

would someone have a link to a dummies guide to copying cfg's? Just looking to make a custom mine. Not worried about textures, just want to be able to have some custom script.

#

textures/models

livid heath Dec 7, 2019, 4:30 PM

#

can someone remind me what animationsource/ type/ logic is used for animating the textures on a selection?

#

            selectionLeftOffset = "PasOffsetL";
            selectionRightOffset = "PasOffsetP";```

#

for example these tracks on a tank

#

@hearty sandal

#

wondered if you may know

hearty sandal Dec 7, 2019, 5:08 PM

#

It scrolls from down with the movement. Could be tied to wheel animation source. Not sure as never have looked any deeper into how it works. @reyhard knows I bet.

#

I don't think there's any special parameters for it though. If there needs to be more control, custom unAnimations class can be used.

dim pumice Dec 7, 2019, 10:07 PM

#

Hi guys, can someone explain what affects whether a certain class inherits or not? For some reason, although the class is inherited successfully at a different point in the same config (for a different class), here it doesn't recognise it

#

Its not a syntax error in this case

hearty sandal Dec 7, 2019, 10:43 PM

#

it is syntax error if it does not work.

#

if you can pastebin the problematic config and type in which classes dont seem to work and what works someone might be able to point you to the error.

#

if you are not yet packing with pboProject I would strongly recommend using it.

#

It catches a lot of these issues

#

@dim pumice

dim pumice Dec 7, 2019, 10:46 PM

#

Ah okay, I see

#

Can I use pboProject through Eliteness? @hearty sandal

hearty sandal Dec 7, 2019, 10:47 PM

#

no

#

eliteness is not correct tool for packing

#

its function is previewing pbo/arma files

dim pumice Dec 7, 2019, 10:49 PM

#

Ah okay, I understand

#

So is pboProject superior to addonbuilder in ARMA 3 tools would you say? For this kind of thing

hearty sandal Dec 7, 2019, 10:50 PM

#

yes

dim pumice Dec 7, 2019, 10:54 PM

#

Okay, seems simple to use, I can't seem to select a source folder though

#

It won't accept my choice it seems

hearty sandal Dec 7, 2019, 10:55 PM

#

have you installed all the other mikero tools?

dim pumice Dec 7, 2019, 10:56 PM

#

Most of them I think, mostly so eliteness would function fully

hearty sandal Dec 7, 2019, 10:57 PM

#

preferably just install them all

dim pumice Dec 7, 2019, 10:57 PM

#

okay, will do, why do you think it is stopping me selecting my source folder

#

its almost as if it is invalid

hearty sandal Dec 7, 2019, 10:59 PM

#

do you have p drive set up?

dim pumice Dec 7, 2019, 11:00 PM

#

Nope, no p drive, I think this could be the problem

hearty sandal Dec 7, 2019, 11:00 PM

#

do you use some obscure letters in your folder names?

dim pumice Dec 7, 2019, 11:00 PM

#

As the default path is p drive

hearty sandal Dec 7, 2019, 11:00 PM

#

ah

#

no wonder your stuff has problems then

dim pumice Dec 7, 2019, 11:00 PM

#

haha

#

I didn't realise it was important

#

I didn't understand the purpose of it

hearty sandal Dec 7, 2019, 11:00 PM

#

PMC wiki has steps to install the tools and development environement correctly

dim pumice Dec 7, 2019, 11:00 PM

#

Okay, I'll check it

hearty sandal Dec 7, 2019, 11:00 PM

#

P drive represents the root of the engines file structure

#

so your file in P:\Folder\file.poo => is in the engine root\Folder\file.poo

#

and thats how it finds them

dim pumice Dec 7, 2019, 11:02 PM

#

right right

#

How would I know when the P drive has been created with the mapdisk.bat

#

It seems to be taking a while to show up, I followed the instructions of the PMC wiki

#

And replaced the mapdisk.bat file content

hearty sandal Dec 7, 2019, 11:09 PM

#

did you run it?

#

if you have previously set up stuff with arma 3 tools you will need to restart to get rid of the old way of installing it

dim pumice Dec 7, 2019, 11:11 PM

#

Ah I see

#

do you mean if I have used the addonbuilder and such

#

ah, I think I see the problem

hearty sandal Dec 7, 2019, 11:11 PM

#

no

#

but now I remember you did not have p drive at all

#

so you did not install it through the arma tools

dim pumice Dec 7, 2019, 11:12 PM

#

I managed to fix it

#

It was a stupid thing

#

should I go for a full extraction

#

With Arma3P

#

And I assume I am extracting to my P drive

hearty sandal Dec 7, 2019, 11:21 PM

#

you are yes. dubbing etc you dont need

dim pumice Dec 7, 2019, 11:23 PM

#

cool, I went with those options but unfortunately I got a

#

"bad sha detected" on armor_f_beta.pbo

hearty sandal Dec 7, 2019, 11:24 PM

#

verify game files

dim pumice Dec 7, 2019, 11:51 PM

#

Okay now it said all tasks completed successfully but

#

It did come up with a system error saying "the code execution cannot proceed because vcruntime140_1.dll was not found. reinstalling the program may fix this problem" for "fix_buldozer.exe"

visual c++ redistributable

#

But steam should've installed that when you first laucnhed arma

dim pumice Dec 7, 2019, 11:57 PM

#

hmm, interesting

dim pumice Dec 8, 2019, 1:23 AM

#

decided to try to share the pastebin here after some trouble

#

https://controlc.com/1f172a05

#

So the problem class is "CUP_B_25mm_HE_White_Tracer" (its an attempt at a CUP edit) and its associated inheritance of "B_30mm_HE", and its that inheritance which I can't seem to get to function

grand zinc Dec 8, 2019, 1:29 AM

#

I assume the pastebin is not your code

#

show your code pls

hearty sandal Dec 8, 2019, 1:43 AM

#

@dim pumice you will not want to edit the cup files directly

#

you want to make a config patch that is loaded after cup stuff and modifies them separately

dim pumice Dec 8, 2019, 1:47 AM

#

Ah I see okay, this is my mistake I think

#

So I will, in a new config, define the classes I need to access before making the changes?

hearty sandal Dec 8, 2019, 1:55 AM

#

ye sounds about right

#

also you will make unique cfgPatches classname for your config

dim pumice Dec 8, 2019, 2:12 AM

#

got it

hearty sandal Dec 8, 2019, 2:15 AM

#

there is a good WIKI page on configs too

Hi,
So I have retextured these 3 camo variants of the simple looking Hemtt, and while they appear in the editor, I don't know exactly why, they don't appear in the Virtual Arsenal. Here's 1 screenshot in the editor and the config. Anyone know how to fix this? Maybe I'm missing something.

idle matrix Dec 8, 2019, 6:04 PM

#

did you make texturesource classes?

#

also, why are you putting uniform camouflage on vehicles?

indigo sinew Dec 8, 2019, 6:06 PM

#

You mean at the crew?

#

It's a unit as the driver

#

that's it's class name for now, but will change it (if that's what you mean)

#

erm... let me check

#

erm... no, i don't see "texturesource" anywhere

#

what do you mean by that?
cuz i don't see it at the uniforms either and they do show up in the arsenal

idle matrix Dec 8, 2019, 6:09 PM

#

wait so you want them in the virtual garage as a seperate vehicle or as a skin you can select?

indigo sinew Dec 8, 2019, 6:10 PM

#

separate vic

#

like in the editor

idle matrix Dec 8, 2019, 6:10 PM

#

idk how to help you with that

#

sorry

indigo sinew Dec 8, 2019, 6:10 PM

#

well

#

the uniforms show as separate

#

want me to give the config of these aswell?

idle matrix Dec 8, 2019, 6:10 PM

#

because uniforms work differently than vehicles

indigo sinew Dec 8, 2019, 6:10 PM

#

hmm

#

how do you make it as a skin then?

idle matrix Dec 8, 2019, 6:11 PM

texturesources

gents having an issue, made a weapon system like the VLS launcher, working fine but i need to prevent it from falling out of the sky. right now when i place it in the air, it just falls. i'd like it to not fall. any recommendations? something in the config i can add/ change?

calm panther Dec 8, 2019, 8:44 PM

I have started fixing the issues after my release. One issue is that the wheel do not contact properly in Advanced Flight Model. Any thoughts? I have looked at the wiki page but it doesnt look like it defines it.

hearty sandal Dec 8, 2019, 11:46 PM

#

@pseudo ermine all turrets by default are physX objects so they will fall

#

you might be able to make them the older non physx simulation type if thats still supported

#

but it might not have all the same advanced features

I am trying to make a VIP SUV with two flags on the front of the vehicle. I have placed the proxies into the .p3d and would like to give the driver the user action to raise / lower the flags. However, using the forceflagtexture command, I can only seem to get one flag to appear / disappear. How do I specify the flag / proxy to be raised lower? Here is my user action code: https://pastebin.com/mYnyN75u Any help appreciated.

#

alternatively, if I can't raise / lower each flag separately, how would I a) get both to raise lower through one user action, or b) remove the option to raise / lower and simply have the two flags spawn in a raised state when placing the vehicle?

dim pumice Dec 9, 2019, 9:42 AM

Just another brief query about class inheritance -
If Class B inherits Class A, and I make Class C inherit Class B, will Class C also inherit the attributes of Class A that weren't modified by Class B?

idle matrix Dec 9, 2019, 10:10 AM

#

yep

hearty sandal Dec 9, 2019, 11:43 AM

#

@zinc oak forceflag applied only to the flag 0 proxy. I don't think multiple flags work like you want. They would have to be modeled into the car or attached separately with attachTo command.

untold wyvern Dec 9, 2019, 2:06 PM

no difference for me 🤔

hot pine Dec 9, 2019, 2:33 PM

#

do you have supply memory point in p3d?
memoryPointSupply = "doplnovani";

untold wyvern Dec 9, 2019, 2:34 PM

#

not my own models, so i guess not 😄

zinc oak Dec 9, 2019, 6:11 PM

#

@hearty sandal Modelled into the car isn't an issue. As I say, I have both flag proxies present in the model .p3d.

#

it is just an issue of not being able to specify individual proxies or both at the same time. Only one has a flag, not both.

#

if it can be confirmed that it isn't possible to have more than one flag on a vehicle, then that is fine. I'll stop trying. If it can be done, any help as to how it is done would be a great help.

hot pine Dec 9, 2019, 6:20 PM

#

it is not possible

#

during LoW I've prototyped animating flag to different position and that was working

#

I'm not sure if it was used in the end

zinc oak Dec 9, 2019, 6:31 PM

#

okay, so regardless of how many flag or flag alone proxies are placed in the model .p3d, only one can be used?

#

I'll see if I can do it by creating a static flag inside the model (i.e. a few vertices shaped like a flag) and then apply textures to them that way. I guess if hiddentextureselections are set up, it will at least allow a representation of some flags to be added to the car, even if they can't be animated to move around with the wind.

hi all ..is there a way to find why i cannot activate the advanced flight model on my heli ?

dim pumice Dec 9, 2019, 8:31 PM

Hi again guys, got another config query - I was wondering how overwriting works with a class, so how can I make it so -

Class A, which inherits Class B in a different config

Inherits Class C in my config, but no longer inherit anything from Class B

strong shuttle Dec 9, 2019, 8:35 PM

#

so C -> B -> A... and you wonder why C doesn't contain B? 😕

dim pumice Dec 9, 2019, 8:39 PM

#

Maybe I didn't explain it right actually

#

Let me ask this

#

If I write a class like

class coolClass: coolerClass
{
};

#

But in a different config coolClass has had attributes defined in addition to that inheritance

#

Have I just cleared all those attributes, or do they still remain?

idle matrix Dec 9, 2019, 8:47 PM

#

should still be there AFAIK

dim pumice Dec 9, 2019, 8:47 PM

#

right right

#

The issue I'm having seems to be

#

When I set a new inheritance for something

#

Its not actually copying those inherited attributes, its prioritising whats defined in another config

#

Over what it should be inheriting

#

I guess thats indicative of a load order issue?

#

Its showing in my config browser in game that the class has adopted the new inheritance, its just not actually inheriting anything from it

So it is updating to the correct inheritance, it just doesn't actually inherit any of the attributes

dim pumice Dec 9, 2019, 9:13 PM

#

With regards it being a load order issue, in some ways that wouldn't make sense either because attributes I defined for the classes in that config do update if I redefine them explicitly, its just that they won't update their values based on an inheritance

idle matrix Dec 9, 2019, 9:17 PM

#

so, just to make sure I'm reading this right

#

Class A has Thing = 1, Class B inherits from Class A and has Thing = 2, and then Class C inherits from Class B but has Thing = 1?

dim pumice Dec 9, 2019, 9:22 PM

#

So the issue is:

Class A has Thing = 1

Class B has Thing = 2

I make Class A inherit from Class B (where previously it did not, inherited from something else)

Yet, Class A still has Thing = 1, despite the in game config viewer attesting to the fact that the inheritance has been changed

#

Its like inheritance as a concept is just, not functioning across this particular config file

idle matrix Dec 9, 2019, 9:24 PM

#

inheriting does have a few peculiarities, yes

#

this is all in one config?

dim pumice Dec 9, 2019, 9:27 PM

#

so Thing = 1 is being defined in a different config for Class A

idle matrix Dec 9, 2019, 9:27 PM

#

ah

#

so, I know you've mentioned it, but did you try defining the loading order?

dim pumice Dec 9, 2019, 9:28 PM

#

I gave it my best shot, I've defined the cfgpatches of the three things I'm pulling from in requiredAddons
