WORKS
condition = "(player == driver this) && ((this animationPhase 'door_l') < 0.5)";

the old school approach works fine, and the statement works fine with animatesource

Does RHS have a different class inheritance system? Since my recoil replacement config doesn't work with the AKS74Us and AK-104 rifles.
And with regards to a config replacement thing earlier, it turned out to be the same thing I done which works for most RHSAFRF guns (I'm slowly configuring each gun's recoil).
hot pine
There is single inheritance system - there is no way to have custom one whatever it would mean
hot pine
well, I'm main RHS dev 😛
full wagon
Oh wow, I never knew that haha
But yeah, you know if something's up with the AKS74U and AK104 AKs? I can't seem to change their recoil presets and I also observed a bug where the rear sights on the AKS74U seem to also be look like they're made out of Bakelite if that could mean something?
hot pine
show your config and then I might tell you what is going on
full wagon
Yep, no worries.
Here it is. I know that the amount of class requirements defined in CfgWeapons aren't necessary also, just that I attempted to fix this bug through that.
hot pine
did you used in game config viewer to check if your changes are applied?
full wagon
I did a few times before with more mods enabled at least, the recoil presets were applied to the AKs I mentioned but I'll check again since I been testing this without mods aside from RHSAFRF and mine.
Actually, I forgot to mention something. My recoil presets work on folded AK104s and 74Us and Ns, but not while they're unfolded.
hearty sandal
@livid heath possibly it does not like the absolute 0 check? Did you try with <0.5
Also is the source name correct?
hot pine
@livid heath is it door type animation? Doors are using doorPhase
@full wagon so is it loading correct values in game when you are looking at them in config viewer?
full wagon
Sorry @hot pine, someone was talking to me and that I needed to go to the editor since the arsenal didn't have the config browser anymore in the pause menu.
Okay; so for both the folded and unfolded AKS74UN at least, the recoil is technically applied @hot pine but its not being used in game for the unfolded version. There's no muzzle movement for it while shooting it.
Same for the other 74U I found.
hot pine
did you tried to increase recoil values to see how it changes?
try to remove compensator from muzzle slot too
full wagon
No I haven't, but I can do that and I tried that but I'll see how it goes.
But just curious, do RHS grips and muzzle brakes or compensators change the recoil impulse in this game? I've been curious about that lol
The compensator thing idea didn't work however but I'll try the recoil value thing.
If this is relevant @hot pine, a small error came up after launching the game which says "No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgWeapons/FOLD.scope'.".
I found more about the problem. Muzzle movement while shooting is locked on these guns, I tried multiplying the values for the AKS74U family recoil preset by 10.
hot pine
class FOLD; thats wrong
as for muzzle climb - it might be the way how engine works with short weapons
full wagon
Although I hadn't had it there before this issue, I'll try taking that out though.
hot pine
as for muzzle devices - yes, they are changing recoil and few more parameters
grips are on the other hand reducing inertia
scopes/bipods are increasing inertia (depending on their weight/size)
full wagon
Ah okay, fair enough.
But as a potential alternative, is it possible to increase all temporary/permanent recoils at once without increasing the kick? Since scaling the recoil makes for too much kick when I achieve sufficent muzzle movement for the stance a guy the same size as the Arma characters.
Obviously there's a lot of factors for "realistic" recoil, just trying to get it close enough.
Especially with how the impulses work too.
Actually @hot pine, it'd be possible to modify your mod's recoil classes within my config instead of replacing the guns' recoils with my classes yeah?
That could be a better way to do it potentially.
full wagon
Yeah true and it could, but I feel it'd also be more compatible with muzzle devices though which could be nice.
livid heath
thanks @hot pine will check it out
tranquil osprey
I need someone to tell me why I'm dumb 😆
I'm getting an undefined base class error for ItemCore in KOTI_BlueHelmII, but not KOTI_BlueHelmI.
The vests below ln208 are already working and tested. Only started breaking when I added the helms.
https://pastebin.com/ZTrRzY6N
full wagon
I'm not entirely sure @tranquil osprey, but I feel that you forgot to put in a base class for helmets in the cfgWeapons class. You have Vest_Camo_Base : ItemCore but not an equivalent for helmets.
tranquil osprey
they inherit from ItemCore, wouldn't that cover it? I did have that but still had the undefined error just for the base class instead of ItemCore
full wagon
I don't think so if you needed Vest_Camo_Base for the vests.
The ItemCore on the right of it just tells that Camo Base class where it came from instead of being used as a base class.
If that makes sense?
tranquil osprey
yeah I get the inheritance rules, I'm used to C++, just not arma configs lol
full wagon
Its okay haha
But yeah, you still likely need to put in a helmet camo base thing below the vest one.
See how it goes if you want.
tranquil osprey
Tried that, still having the same issue. The weird part is that it seems to be inheriting properly for KOTI_BlueHelmI, but not the second one.
full wagon
Oh sorry, my bad.
tranquil osprey
No worries. Always good to cover the bases 😛
full wagon
But yeah, that sucks. However, I also find it odd because you referred the ItemCore correctly in both in conjunction with transferring the names right.
By the way @hot pine, I found out why the few short-barreled rifles aren't using my recoil system! There's a weird bug where at least the AK104 in the config viewer has 762x39MM_AK104_FAMILY;"; instead of 762x39MM_AK104_FAMILY; in the recoil field haha.. Its adding another ;" in front of my recoil thing lol
It explains it pretty well too because there's literally no muzzle rise meaning that its not being utilised.
full wagon
OH, yep lmao
Hahahaha
I'm so stupid xD
And actually @tranquil osprey, you know how to use the config browser when playing within the editor?
I realised that you could go to CfgWeapons within it to check your items for any errors in any fields for them.
tranquil osprey
Vaguely. Arma crashes when loading the addon though
full wagon
Because at least for me, I made such a tiny but bad mistake lol
hot pine
@tranquil osprey modelSides={TWest};
full wagon
Oh true, sorry about that.
hot pine
- There is missing [] next to array type parameter
- Are you sure you have macro which defines TWest?
full wagon
And the AKS74U thing seems coded correctly, but I can just make a script which increases recoil coefficient when using that gun as an alternative.
tranquil osprey
smh this is why I avoid using macros 😆
thats probably it. Thank you @hot pine
hot pine
error was caused by point no 1
but I brought 2nd point just to make sure that you know how to use macros
hearty sandal
@full wagon what are you packing the configs with?
I would strongly suggest pboProject as it should not let you pack with most of these typos
full wagon
AddonBuilder in the Arma 3 tools @hearty sandal.
full wagon
Oh I see lol, woops haha
I'll check out PboProject then lol
However, does that program tell you errors or only prevent the packing from occuring @hearty sandal?
hearty sandal
it tells errors
its very strict
PMC wiki has simplest steps to set up the tools and P drive so that it works
full wagon
Ah cool, that's nice.
And thanks.
But yeah, I saw that the PMC wiki has been more detailed iwth regards to modding too.
tranquil osprey
Yeah they're one of my most hated features in C family languages lol. I think I just used ints in the vest configs.
That fixed it. As an aside, what are the values for each side? i.e. west would be 0, east=1 etc?
grand zinc
@full wagon Have a read of our #rules and stop violating the profanity rule every other day
full wagon
Sorry I forgot something @grand zinc, my bad.
I didn't mean to do that.
I read the rules, its that my memory isn't the best. Its fine if you don't understand, but that's why.
Or maybe its because it only talked about insulting remarks with profanity in brackets, so maybe it sounded like barring swearing only when its used in an offensive way if that makes sense.
Because its not technically clear if its supposed to mean no swearing at all since swearing isn't always used to attack people with regards to "other derogatory remarks" which seems to mean insults which not all of swearing is.
You okay @grand zinc? I meant to tell you why I might've forgot that.
I'm not trying to excuse myself if you thought that.
hearty sandal
I think the point is already made. He will respond when he can
back to the config business
hearty sandal
he just acted in the moderator role and pointed out where you made a mistake
full wagon
Oh good, it sounded like he was very annoyed so at least I know now.
full wagon
Yeah no problem.
However @hot pine, the AK104 is working just fine now and I found a potential cause for the AKS74U problem which was learning that the RHS AK74U AKs use a vanilla recoil preset which is in a class I didn't inherit from which I'm about to check.
That didn't work, but I'll see if I inherited the wrong thing.
It didn't, but I'll take a look at the config thing to possibly trace what's changing its recoil.
livid gyro
@livid heath I'm just getting back around to trying to fix my camera now, and no I haven't yet fixed it. I'll try to figure out how to check if the camera can move in Bulldozer and report back.
livid heath
ok
you can just make a little white cross shape and assign it to your gun and another assigned toturret bones, t osee it al lworks
it's where i'd start
that's assumingyour camera is just memory points
if it's a physical model then you can just use that
livid gyro
So I am able to see the overlay in game,
and I moved the overlay out of view of my UAV_Optics_Gunner_wide_F.p3d class
That one doesn't render in the 'Wide' view, so I believe the model is working in my three UAV_Optics_Gunner models
On my drone_model.p3d in game the animation does play when I try to move the turret camera, but the camera position itself does not change.
spiral fiber
Hello, quick question.
I have a gun and an optic. The optics ironsight mode collides with the model.
Is it possible to make to edit the config of either the gun or the optic so the gun uses the gun's ironsight mode but the scopes scope mode?

I also tried setting the elevation variables in the ViewPilot, ViewOptics, MainTurret, but none had any affect on the rendered video from the turret perspective

So... me again. Ive seen that its possible to add your own editor category. Ive checked the wiki but i still dont get it. I know I need to define the category but the game cant find it... what am I doing wrong?
{
class EdSubcat_Chrysalis
{
displayName = "Men (Chrysalis)";
};
};
That is inside the config cpp that adds my custom faction to the game
I tried putting it inside the "CfgFactionClasses" but it didnt work either
The units do have the editorSubcategory = "EdSubcat_Chrysalis"; parameter
So... what am I doing wrong? Where is the CfgEditorSubcategories supposed to go?

Ok how would I make it so people with this.
onHackedData = ""; onDifferentData = ""; onUnsignedData = "";
Get kicked?
In the server.cfg
grand zinc
by reverting that back to the default that was in your server.cfg at the start, which kicks people
rain sandal
@grand zinc I don’t know how to do so because I just use tadst server.cfg and here’s what I got
Is there a code I should put in
If so
Can you please tell me it?
grand zinc
onUnsignedData = "kick (_this select 0)"; // unsigned data detected
onHackedData = "ban (_this select 0)"; // tampering of the signature detected
onDifferentData = ""; // data with a valid signature, but different version than the one present on server detected
these are the defaults
rain sandal
Ok thanks
@grand zinc Is there an option in the server.cfg which makes sure to be able to connect to the server you must have the mods as the server it’s self
Because I had an old pbo which was signed by my key
And I deleted it from server
But I can still use it
grand zinc
it should be enabled with verifySIg 2
there is also requireSameMods or smth like that, check wiki
Also thats #server_admins
upper tangle
I think this is the right channel for my question.
This is using ACE 3 Fortify.
My unit is attempting to make a custom Fortify preset for missions on our server.
If we make the custom preset and include it in a Description.ext, is there any way to call an Admin function from the Init.sqf in order to set the Custom Preset on mission launch?

Hi all, I'm still fighting with my camera woes. I've found that for my turret camera, I can adjust what sensors are availiable, the max and min zoom levels, etc, but I can't pan/tilt the camera or set the default angle. I'm pretty confused because some parts of the camera can actually be changed, but the elevation and rotation both seem stuck. Anybody have any ideas why this might be?

@hearty sandal thx. worked now.
but i have trouble now in model.cfg with Vehicle and Turret. My Weapon is on the vehicle and the axis work. But i cant Hide the turret.
for example: My vehicle is Stage 0 and have no weapons (hide). You can upgrade ingame and after that is the Gun (Turret) unhidden
any idea?

that does not work I think
simples way to do that is 2 different objects that you swap
one with turret, one without

hm but wheels after damage is hidden 😮
hearty sandal
yes
you can hide the turret but it will still be on the vehicle via the config
just invisible
so it can still be accessed
unless you apply lot of scripting that checks no one gets into it
junior bane

but i can lock the turret i think.. can you help me with hiding the turret? i try to test it

well you would want the hiding bone to be in between the "" and "turret" bones
then it will hide everything after it

Any idea why AI wouldn't use a missile?
autumn crater
Specifically missiles of any kind from a plane. I have found enemy AI will use countermeasures when you begin locking on and use this to help test.
I’ve copied AI Fire modes from similar munitions and have tried inheriting from various vanilla weapons (the Scalpel, ASRAAM, and “RocketPod” for example) to no avail. The only pylon the AI will use are rocket pods that are essentially vanilla.
Knowing that enemy air will use counter measures when a lock on them begins, I can confirm that AI using AA missiles from the plane not only refuse to use them, but also do not even attempt to do so.

wheat mural
Afternoon all, I've been trying to make a base class with separate hitpoints for left arm, right arm, left leg, right leg, I've added them e.g ```cpp
class HitLeftLeg: HitLeftArm
{
armor = 1;
material = -1;
name = "leg_l";
passThrough = 1;
radius = 0.1;
explosionShielding = 1;
visual = "injury_legs";
minimalHit = 0.01;
};
When using getAllHitPointsDamage it appears fine, but in handleDamage the hitpoint is never triggered
Anyone have any ideas why it isn't working?
hearty sandal
this for a character?
wheat mural
Yeah
hearty sandal
custom?
wheat mural
Inheriting from: Civilian_F
I can hastebin the CfgVehicles if that would make it easier?
hearty sandal
Im not quite sure why youa re doing that when the default character already has those hitpoints as far as I can tell
wheat mural
[["hitface","hitneck","hithead","hitpelvis","hitabdomen","hitdiaphragm","hitchest","hitbody","hitarms","hithands","hitlegs","incapacitated"],
["face_hub","neck","head","pelvis","spine1","spine2","spine3","body","arms","hands","legs","body"],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]]
Base character has hitslegs and hitarms, not seperated
hearty sandal
leg_l is not a valid selection though
wheat mural
[["hitface","hitneck","hithead","hitpelvis","hitabdomen","hitdiaphragm","hitchest","hitbody","hand_l","hand_r","hitarms","hithands","leg_l","leg_r","hitlegs","incapacitated"],

[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]]
VR man seems to use it though 🤔
hearty sandal
vr man might be special
at least the example character p3d does not contain it
so I would assume the other chracters dont have it
you would need to use existing selections that all of the character models have
wheat mural
I guess the VR Man must be special then - as when using getAllHitPointsDamage they return quite different selections
wheat mural
So I should be able to inherit off the VR man with the hitpoints?
hearty sandal
no
those only work on the VR man
or that is my educated guess
these as far as I know are the default hitpoints
and these the default firegeometry parts
wheat mural
leg_l and leg_r are present in the default hitpoints?

Hello, I would like to have face and facewear randomization for my units, If I put the configs in the base class do I need to redefine them in the new units pulling from the base class or do they automatically pull things from base class that are not redefined in their subclasses?
Also, can i apply this principle to all unit config writing? If I define stuff in the base class I dont need to rewrite them to the units based on base class yes?

@hearty sandal we don't use servers only P2P hosted servers with members using the mod

So I'm trying to create a variant of the orca wit a laser sensor. I've created a variant that inherits from O_Heli_Light_02_dynamicLoadout_F, uses the orca skin an belongs to Nato. The Wiki tells me to create the sensor in the components class of the cfgVehicles. The Wiki Page for the components class is empty. From the Vehicles in the Sample Content only the Plane has a components class. The comment there is also very helpful: "// class where various components can be defined and made available to the entity. Make sure you inherit from ". As the game tells me there is an undefined base class I'm guessing inheritance is actually the problem, but i don't really know what classes i need to declare to make this work.
To be honest I'm pretty confused by the structure of the orca's classes and should probably just find me a project where I know what I'm doing at least half the time, but if someone could give a hint at a solution or even just a direction for further research I'd really appreciate it.

Hello, wondering if anyone could help me. I've made a weapon with two different types of Ammo ( pretty standard stuff) but I was wondering if it was possible to have two different sounds when firing the different ammo types. For example, an electrical sound when firing an electric type ammo and machine gun sound when switched to firing machine gun ammo (these are just examples not looking for sound files on these).
hearty sandal
I think thats not possible
nocturne verge
@finite bronze you can change the sound between auto and semi , but ammo types I do not know. Dööööd maybe able to answer you better , but like HorribleGoat said , I don't think you can sadly
@finite bronze if i do however see something that you can use ill let you know
hearty sandal
I dont think ammo usually makes that much different sound
finite bronze
Yeah I've been looking into it, and thought this was the answer. Someone told me the contact DLC had blank ammo that sounded different but not sure how true that is as don't have contact DLC. It's only for a personal project anyway so is not the end of the world.
Thank you for info, regardless.

Hmm.. so anyone who's played with CUP maps has probably experienced the annoying issue with 100 light sources not showing up until you get within 15m. To clearify I'm talking about zargabad or takistan where there's plenty of lights in every building. Changing light sources to ultra (which is value 16 iirc) in graphics settings didn't change much. I edited the config and changed it to 2.15 billion or something like that until arma just started crashing. Still all lights don't render even within a 250m radius.
Does anyone know how to "fix" this? Any ideas?
What I've tried:
//Try at your own risk changing graphic settings might cause hardware damage
class CfgVideoOptions
{
class DynamicLights
{
class NoUse
{
text = "Might fry your pc idk";
value = 1073741824;
//2100000000 was max until I started crashing
};
class MaxNoticeDif
{
text = "Max";
value = 40;
};
};
};
Up to 40 more lights start popping up for me but anything over it seems to have wacky effects sometimes even seeming to have opposite effect (IE less light sources).
hearty sandal
Arma works poorly with lots of lights.

you are possibly breaking the weapon/ammo arrays or the eventhandlers

@hearty sandal I'm trying to adjust the angle that the pilot on a uav's first-person view is set to -- I want the camera to point down towards the ground from the pilot's perspective when the UAV is just hovering.
hearty sandal
are you yourself piloting it?
livid gyro
Yes
hearty sandal
Im not 100% sure I understand what you are after but I think you cant do that
livid gyro
What I have found is by adjusting the variables minFov = 0.25;
maxFov = 5;//1.25;
initFov,
visionMode
in ViewOptics, I can change parameters associated with the FOV, but I can't seem to change the parameters initAngleY, minAngleY
hearty sandal
is this a custom UAV?
livid gyro
Yeah, but it's pretty close to the Darter
hearty sandal
then I think you would need to actually animate those things to happen
the configs only set how far the the camera can turn if it has turning animations
livid gyro
Hm, I see - in order to actually move a camera asset, you need an animation? I'm ok with the camera not being able to move, I just need it to be angled down a little so it's easier to see under the UAV from a first-person perspective
Oh, so those initAngle parameters only matter if the camera has animations?
hearty sandal
yes

@winter salmon Simulation entry can take a "armorname" which is by default pulled from the hit event..
Is that helpful? I guess it might be if you know the hitpoint stuff?
winter salmon
ah, thanks for the reply but it's still opaque to me. I will read more about it as long as there's enough existing documentation to piece things together
I should read about the hit event handler?
grand zinc
You could check a recent 1.98 all in one config, to see if the new parameter is used anywhere

winter salmon
thanks for the reply
hot pine
no problem, one note though - armor simulations are only working if character itself is using armorComponent so none of the vanilla uniforms is using that
it was bit of R&D project for character damage model but I think in current form it might be quite useful for some SF mods
winter salmon
does this mean that FireGeometry can be made in vests in order to simulate penetration of ballistics more realistically? For example, pistol rounds wouldn't penetrate ceramic plates at all (and wouldn't contribute to overall damage), but higher caliber rounds would have a chance to penetrate?
hearty sandal
wee I get to make proper armor suits 😄
hot pine
no, it's not about fire geometry but yes, you could assign armorSimulation to pistol bullets and then, in armorSim define that this type of rounds is doing very little damage
winter salmon
okay, thanks, that makes sense
hot pine
{
class VestSim_CeramicPlate
{
class PistolBullets // warHeadName
{
hit[] = {0,1};
speed[] = {0,1};
};

};```damage is calculated differently when armorComponent is used character hitpoints need to be redone
thats why it wasn't introduced on vanilla characters for instance

" Is it possible to have two separate gun memory points for the same gunner? I have a heli with a minigun/GMG combo on the chin turret. The memory points are in place where the minigun fires, but I wouldn't know how or IF I could set up the GMG firing points. It's noticeable in the camera view, which is positioned right between the two gun models."
" you should be able to set up the GMG as turret weapon and the minigun as coaxial"
I finally got back to this and tried it on my heli as I had it on my tank - using gunBeg/gunEnd for the gmg (cannon on tank) and memoryPointGun[] for the minigun. The minigun started firing from about 3 meters above the turret axis.
hearty sandal
does the GMG fire from correct position?
perhaps the gun memorypoint is part of some wrong selection too
you could also animate the the gun points with isSelected to change between the guns
dry carbon
The gmg fired from the minigun mempoint
I like this isSelected idea... if it works. LOL
Is it complicated?
hearty sandal
not really
dry carbon
better yet: is there a working example to learn from?
hearty sandal
or perhaps maxHoldsterValue
that I can confirm to work with vehicles
isSelected im actually not 100% sure about
maxHoldsterValue is used in weaponbays etc on aircraft
so that when a missile is selected it opens the weapon bays
the weapons themselves have certain HoldsterValue set up on them and the animation is set to "play" at that value
dry carbon
is maxHoldsterValue related to pylons stuff/ because that's a lot of pasta.
dry carbon
at first glance it looks like i'd be making a new weapon - a gmg with the minigun as an alt fire mode?
dry carbon
ok
dry carbon
so that prevents them from being interchanged or mistaken or something?
hearty sandal
yes

I'm kind of grasping the concept, but this is a little overwhelming. Gotta wrap my head around it.

It's probably simple, but I'm not sure what to do with all that. 😅
is this something that I can just plop into the turret class?
Going back to my heli... The first thing I thought when it didn't work is that tanks and helis probably allow different things going on.
for the turrets
dry carbon
oh that's good. Gonna try to figure this out now. Still not sure where to plop it.
dry carbon
ok
A few curiosities here while I try to foresee what's going to happen while looking at the animation class. It appears that whatever is going to rotate will only rotate 130 degrees. Before I set this value to 180 for my animations, I wanted to ask if there's a benefit to doing 130?
hearty sandal
bay door I have looks silly if it opens up 180
hearty sandal
no this is just opening up
dry carbon
ah. ok
I am beginning to see another obstacle. The two weapons have different barrel lengths. The muzzle of one protrudes farther than the muzzle of the other
dry carbon
that's what I was thinking, too
dry carbon
I wonder if it's possible to do a hide with the maxHoldsterValue. instead, and then if it would work.
hearty sandal
how come?
how would hide make it work?
sure hide can be powered with it but I dont understand what you would hide
dry carbon
have two sets of the same vertices, but hide the one that's not in use.
hearty sandal
50/50 could work
dry carbon
since it's gunBeg/gunEnd that seem to be working right, there could be two of these, and only the non-hidden one would function - in theory.
hearty sandal
Hide might really hide them or just scale them to 0,0,0

where are muzzle item(s) typically found under what cfg? nvm found it
okay now that leads me to what field/setting controls if a item is visible in the arsenal or not? not meaning usage by side but if its visible in the vanilla VA or not.

Providied I included
A3_Functions_F_MP_Mark (The cfgPatches class of the revive system)
as a requiredAddon and then did the
class CfgFunctions
{
class A3_Mark
{
tag="BIS"";
class Revive
{
xxxxxxxxxxx
Would I be able to overwrite particular functions by defining them and setting a new file= ?
class reenableRevive
{
};
grand zinc
yes
remote hatch
So that'd mean then if I called BIS_FNC_ReviveSOMELEMENT and i had overwritten that portion as described above, it'd use my version? even when its referenced in bohemia code?
The reason I ask is I want to add things to the BIS Revive system, just some fairly simple things and wanted to know if it was possible via overwrite as above.
I've got it all working how I want by using the same code but redefining it all so its in that actual mods folders itself. So its MyTag_FNC_ReviveSomeElement but ideally to cut down on code and keep things i've not edited from being duplicated it would be just overwritting existing things
Are both methods valid?
Is one faster than the other?

Quick question Devs: Anybody know if there is a way to change/limit the angles that can be traversed in Free Look (the look mode accessed via the NumPad)? At present it seems I can turn 90 degrees left and right, about 70 degrees down and 90 degrees vertical. Is there any way to change the limits?
livid gyro
I can also work with just getting the relative angle of where the player's rendered camera is looking, if anyone knows how to get that.
livid gyro
Update: I found I can use getCameraViewDirection to get the current angles, and it works for the freelook of the default player, but it doesn't work for the internal camera of a UAV. Any ideas?

hey guys so I am getting this Picture equip\w\w_task_force_461_clan_mod_arma3\sandf\icons\headgear\icon_ech_plain_exppattern2000.paa.paa not found when i open my inventory after equipping a helmet from my mod picture="Task_Force_461_Clan_mod_ArmA3\SANDF\Icons\Headgear\icon_ECH_plain_ExpPattern2000.paa"; and that is the path defined to this "missing icon"
I have gone to the area i specified and its there spelt word for word
could anyone tell me why this is happing? the picture shows in Virual arsenal , and I only get this error when I open my inventory
UiPicture = "Task_Force_461_Clan_mod_ArmA3\SANDF\Icons\Headgear\icon_ECH_plain_ExpPattern2000.paa"; this didn't help either... I still get the sam error
okay so for somereason i needed to add \to the start of my path -_-

hey guys, i'm really new to config setups but I'm trying to set up a new base infantryman and i'm having trouble with adding magazines to his loadout.
magazines[] = {
mag_6("CSW_FNC_30rnd_SS109_FMJ_mag","CSW_FNC_30rnd_SS109_FMJ_mag"),
mag_1(rhs_mag_m67)
};
I've got this and it just doesn't appear to add the magazines in-game outputting a 'No entry '.model'
strong shuttle
magazines[] = {mag_6(CSW_FNC_30rnd_SS109_FMJ_mag), rhs_mag_m67};
this should work (as long as you have the correct macro's set up)
winter dune
hm that seems to have fixed it. Would you be able to point out my issue? @strong shuttle. just to avoid making the same issue next time
i copied RHS' structure for most of my config
strong shuttle
The mag_X macro's, which you must have included somewhere, only accept one value, so the part with mag_6("value","value") would break.
And if you used the same mag_X macro's as I use, then mag_1 doesn't exists, which makes sense since you don't have to multiply by 1 😉
winter dune
cue pikachu face when i realize RHS was using a macro and that 'mag' isnt a BI function
I'm actually retarded. Thanks for pointing that out though!
I'll have to search up how to set up CBA macros

Hey, I'm completely new to arma 3 modding, I'm trying to create a new magazine for 9x21mm weapons, I have this script right now, and I don't know if its good or bad. Could not find a tutorial detailing how to make a custom magazine. Custom_9x21_Mag is basically copied from 16Rnd_9x21_Mag for now.

My only previous experience to modding arma 3 is a mod that adds units with custom loadouts, so the zeus can place units down quicker.

There are very little in specific tutorials like that. Generally when you understand how the configs are put together and connect with each other you can put together any kind of an addon.
Anyways, looks about right so is there an error or something not working about it?
idle matrix
are you not inheriting from something?
dense trellis
You see, thats what I want to know. If I have to inherit from something for a new magazine
idle matrix
it's probably a good idea
that way the only config entries you'll have to write down are the things you want changed
dense trellis
Thats good to know, so I could change class Custom_9x21_Mag to class Custom_9x21_Mag : 16Rnd_9x21_Mag ?
idle matrix
yes
though I believe no space before the :
so like class Custom_9x21_Mag: 16Rnd_9x21_Mag
dense trellis
Alright, will try it
idle matrix
that way you'll ensure you get everything you need
just copying an existing class and editing some values won't likely work since that class is most likely inheriting from another class
and that class inherits from another class, etc
and you'll be missing all the inherited data
it's also a lot easier than tracking down everything you need and sticking it in one single class
dense trellis
I've got an undefined baseclass error for 16Rnd_9x21_Mag, though I am sure it exists. Any idea where I slipped up?
class CfgMagazines
{
class CA_Magazine;
class Custom_9x21_Mag: 16Rnd_9x21_Mag
{
ammo = "B_9x21_Ball";
author = "CSVolts";
count = 1698;
descriptionShort = "Caliber: 9x21 mm<br />Rounds: 16<br />Used in: PDW2000, P07, ROOK-40";
displayName = "Anomalous 9 mm 16Rnd Mag";
};
};
check out sample configs from Arma 3 samples for example of the inheritance tree
BI wiki also contains pages about that
idle matrix
here's a nifty wiki page about inheritance: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Class_Inheritance
and by undefined it means your config needs to have it mentioned
like you're doing with CA_Magazine
which as far as I can see isn't actually necessary
defining CA_Magazine that is
so what you'd do instead is this class CfgMagazines { class 16Rnd_9x21_Mag; class Custom_9x21_Mag: 16Rnd_9x21_Mag { ammo = "B_9x21_Ball"; author = "CSVolts"; count = 1698; descriptionShort = "Caliber: 9x21 mm<br />Rounds: 16<br />Used in: PDW2000, P07, ROOK-40"; displayName = "Anomalous 9 mm 16Rnd Mag"; }; };
hearty sandal
some things require the whole inheritance tree to work right. Cant remember exactly what it was though
idle matrix
only if you're changing child classes
they'll have to be defined in the previous class
which then will also need inheriting
hearty sandal
that it was yes
dense trellis
Good to know, trying the mod now, no errors so far
idle matrix
no need for the entire inheritance tree though :p
dense trellis
Alright I definitely messed up somewhere, because it's not compatible with the weapon.
Atleast it shows up
hearty sandal
weapons have magazine compatibility defined in them
dense trellis
Oh alright, so you're saying that I have to modify the weapon's config and add this magazine?
hearty sandal
possibly
or if the weapon is configured with certain type of magazine well you need to make your magazine compatible with it
dense trellis
I'm at hgun_P07_F, Could I add my magazine like this, or will this overwrite the whole class to only contain magazines[] ?
class CfgWeapons
{
class hgun_P07_F {
magazines[] = {"16Rnd_9x21_Mag","16Rnd_9x21_red_Mag","16Rnd_9x21_green_Mag","16Rnd_9x21_yellow_Mag","30Rnd_9x21_Mag","30Rnd_9x21_Red_Mag","30Rnd_9x21_Yellow_Mag","30Rnd_9x21_Green_Mag", "Custom_9x21_Mag"};
}
}
It's using magazineWell[] = {"Pistol_9x21"};
hearty sandal
then your magazine should be compatible with that
dense trellis

@idle matrix http://prntscr.com/s1fqk8 this is the error
idle matrix
that looks like it might be an issue on CUP's side
wide vessel
Oh... How so?
idle matrix
well it says a CUP uniform class has the problem
you didn't accidentally mess with that class right?
wide vessel
It's a retexture using HiddenSelections, the piece of code someone retexturing a lot of CUP stuff gave me
idle matrix
I see that in the pastebin, and if that's all correct, which it seems to be, then it's a CUP issue
also, as an aside, is it meant to be Vinnish? or did you mean Finnish?
idle matrix
ah okay

Hmm.. Kinda annoyed at this by now, been working at it for so long haha
idle matrix
understandable
wide vessel
I asked in the CUP discord what could be wrong. They should "hopefully" get back to me on that haha
idle matrix
oh, here's a question for you, do you have requiredAddons filled in correctly under CfgPatches?
wide vessel
Probably not... Not filled in at all, just load up what I need and launch the game... Wasn't an issue for helmets or vehicles
idle matrix
yeah you absolutely need requiredAddons set up correctly
it basically tells arma if your mod needs another mod to be loaded first
so if you try to inherit from a mod that is loaded after yours, bad things happen
wide vessel
Yeah CUP is helping me out rn haha
old gulch
Alright I'm running out of ideas here. Does anyone know how to edit the cfgvehicles in such a way to change the uniform on a soldier? At the moment I have them spawning in, and visually they LOOK like they have a CSAT uniform on, but mechanically they are naked. However, they are SUPPOSED to have a flight suit on.
and I have a couple of times gotten the uniform to show up on their person, but they visually appear to be naked instead of wearing it, even though mechanically they have it on
I managed to do it exactly 1 time, but I cant seem to duplicated it even by copying the code almost verbatum
old gulch
If I view them in Editor, they show up with the uniform on, and if i hit OK, no changes made, they equip it
but if I do not hit OK, they just return to 'wearing' the default CSAT uniform
wtf is going on here
hearty sandal
Hit OK where?
old gulch
on the virtual arsenal
virtual arsenal shows them correctly when you view them, but they arn't correct when they spawn (visually, they are ACTUALLY wearing the right stuff mechanically)
hearty sandal
Possibly when I get on computer. I'm on mobile right now.
old gulch
So as I've learned thusfar, UniformClass does not actually change the uniform the soldier spawns with visually
hearty sandal
Addon builder creates working stuff only if you feed it absolute gold. So it does not check for any errors.
I would strongly suggest using mikeros tools and pboproject for debug on pack.
old gulch
I can try, though I get the feeling whatever error is here may be an unintended effect and not a detectable "error"
hearty sandal
CfgVehicles unit config sets the model (visual look) of a character. It has 2 parameters, nakeduniform and uniform which point to cfgweapons uniform items (what's in inventor/worn)
Now the inventory item uniform also has a uniform parameter that points to a cfgVehicles class that then actually dictates what the said uniform looks like when the uniform is worn.
To speed up the debug pastebin your configs.
And pls put it to show c++ colorcoding
hearty sandal
There's a selection box for code type at the end
hearty sandal
@old gulch seems like the problem starts from the fact that you have your cfgWeapons item uniform class inside your cfgVehicles class
and not the actual cfgWeapons class
so your uniform item does not exist
cfgWeapons and cfgVehicles are 2 lowes level main classes that contain different stuff
cfgWeapons contains all the items (weapon, uniforms, rest of wearable gear etc)
cfgVehicles all units, vehicles, buildings
so check the Arma 3 sample character again for reference
hearty sandal
old gulch
that I'm defining it here
hearty sandal
welll this part at least belongs to the item class
old gulch
ok
hearty sandal
so I assumed youre trying to make an item here
old gulch
so I shold be able to delete that and its ok?
hearty sandal
I would scrap it all and start again
with the Sample config from the Arma 3 samples
old gulch
I somewhat already did, theres not a lot of change made here
hearty sandal
well this is a weird mashup of cfgweapons stuff and cfgvehicles stuff
old gulch
I feel like the problem might be the item being defined as an indep uniform and I'm trying to apply it to CSAT
hearty sandal
and I dont unfortunately have the time to go over it line by line
that is a possiblity too
you may need to define a opfor version of it
old gulch
its just weird that they have the uniform equipped, but its not actually appearing
Is there a way to just forceadduniform from the config itself?
cause I do nooot want to have to make duplicate uniforms for so many things...
hearty sandal
I mean
if you make it right
it uses the right uniform
that is as forced as it can be
I would first make the whole config correctly
and see if that works
then chase that idea
old gulch
hmm... ok
hearty sandal
you can test it by giving your char some other uniform
and testing your uniform on some other vanilla char
old gulch
lets see if switching gendarmeri to multicam works
No like, I cant change uniforms at all
literally just changed the uniform class for the gendarmeri to MCam, and he showed p naked
hearty sandal
did you remake the configs yet?
old gulch
yea
hearty sandal
if you do similar thing with vanilla units and uniforms what happens?
old gulch
thats what I just did
it just makes him show up naked
All I did was change uniformclass of the gendarmeri to U_B_CombatUniform_mcam
and he spawns mechanically wearing his Gendarmeri uniform, but visually being naked
this makes no sense
that tells me at the very least that this cant be a faction issue because they're both on the same side
hearty sandal
do you run Arma with error popups on?
old gulch
I dont know where this uniform keeps coming from or where its defined
yes
no errors appear
no
actually
he is naked mechanically
but visually appears to be wearing his uniform
that I did not define anywhere in his character
he's inheriting it from somewhere
and I cant seem to override it
oh this is driving me nuts. The Opfor version, which just basically draws off the Blufor version, whcih I have not touched, has textures broken on his uniform
but the blufor does not
Its has to be under model thats the only possible explanation.
Ok. Now its just messing with me. I just put down all four of them (the two opfor and two blufor, basically just mirrors of each other with the same baseclass)
two of them have the right uniform, one is naked, and the other is in his default
hearty sandal
calm down. and remember to respect the #rules no matter how frustrating it gets
take a break, do soemthing fun for a bit
old gulch
Sorry, just losing my mind.
wide vessel
I keep getting referred to the A3 Samples, however can't seem to find anything relating to retexturing uniforms... Does anyone know where I can find this?

what you are missing is fact that your magazine is using some inherited initSpeed which is giving inital velocity to projectile

Hey guys, came in here to see if you could help me with a problem.
I've been working on retextures and unit creation. Recently figured out a way to get a custom faction in my mod. But the issue I've been stuck on is making infantry units. Vehicles were simple enough, all I had to do there was assign them to my custom faction. But I'm definitely missing something with the infantry units.
strong shuttle
Infantry are also "vehicles", so giving them a faction which also exists in a CfgFactionClasses class will do the job.

Yeah, it turns out the issue was a big oversight from my tired self last night. While I'd believed I was working in CfgVehicles, I was actually in CfgWeapons. Big oof.

Also, working with PhysX "fake" wheels won't bring real benefits unless you'd like to animate the skids that bend under a load, ie. on touchdown. I didn't bother to do so in my configs so far but must admit it may look nice.

you can play with this to generate collision points

Actually, the BIWIKI says it's relative to Center of Gravity, here:

so I add 4 selections, skid_front_left, right, skid_aft_left, right and get the rtd coordinates out of it?

then script will take care of relation between your points and rtd center

@hot pine, while we are at XML, do you know by any chance why the XML WIKI says this:
FGGroundContact200 implements a multibody dynamics based ground contact model. It supports inclined and moving surfaces (e.g. for ship deck landing).
Is that simply mistake or indeed the AFM supports "moving" surfaces like ship for instance?
hot pine
well, its somehow true
but once vehicle will go into simulation sleep, it will be no longer calculating collision
sullen fulcrum
well, I ment the possibility to land on a moving ship, I've been testing that but with no success. Is there any section within GroundContact200 that would prevent me from falling from a moving ship if I land there? Kind of "brake strenght" or "friction multiplier"?
It's entirely possible but with PhysX only, no AFM.

Hi,
I have made a custom ammobox mod, basically when you spawn the ammobox it already has a pre defined init in the cfgVehicles.hpp which allows you to access the ACE Arsenal (This is working) and also gives you an option to access the BIS Arsenal. The BIS Arsenal part is not working, I get no option to access the arsenal, I have tried multiple combinations but cannot get it to work. Any ideas? Code below for the init in the cfgVehicles.hpp file, the box is the B_supplyCrate_F.

Hello 😄
Im noob in mod making, but i need informations.
How to set inside config file the gunner sight ? To make a bit more realistic the bis one ( https://dev.arma3.com/assets/img/post/images/oprep_drones_2.jpg ) to a custom one.
dry carbon
Is there a magic number or parameter to control the position of a gunner that is turned out? I have a gunner in a turret, but he has to share the hatch with two other occupants. "Turned Out" for the gunner would mean he's not looking through the periscope, but he's still in his chair and can look around the interior. The engine likes to raise hi position so that he clips through the turret top, where there's no hatch.

Shouldn't that be the default view, and then they switch to the gun optics with Right Click?
dry carbon
It's all a matter of ambiance. AFAIK, there's no way to change his animation when focused in the periscope face cradle.
If I could do that, then I would just disable turn out for him.
When the other occupants are looking around the interior, I would prefer them to see if he is focused in the 'scope
pseudo cedar
probably depends on animation? What happens if you use same gunnerAction="" as gunnerInAction="", is he moved?

How do I pass my own arguments into a function called with postinit, it seems to overwrite any arguments I pass
grand zinc
huh?
Did you mean #arma3_scripting or are you talking about something I don't understand?
More details? how are you doing it now? code snippets?
indigo folio
Hey! So i'm currently doing a custom config is this the right place to ask for help?
Difficulty* my bad
indigo folio
yeah already done but some issues hehe thanks! 🙂
cloud orbit
@grand zinc I mean in a config when I set a function to postinit = 1; it automatically sets two params, I want to add to this list of params by passing another variable. When ever I do that it overrides the param send. One second I will get the code
cloud orbit
class EventHandlers {
init = "[_this] spawn Librarian_fnc_InitLib;";
};
the function Librarian_fnc_InitLib has the tag postinit = 1;
cloud orbit
right
grand zinc
they are seperate, different things
cloud orbit
class Librarian
{
class myCategory
{
class InitLib
{
postinit = 1;
file = "Psyker_Pack\Scripts\Psykers\Init_Characters\InitLibrarian.sqf";
};
};
};
eventhandlers and CfgFunctions postInit are unrelated to eachother
one does not know about the other
changing a thing in one, won't change it in the other
cloud orbit
then why when I call that Librarian function do I get the params passed in by postInit
grand zinc
because postInit specifies that you function should be called at postInit
with pre-defined parameters
you cannot change what parameters
they are predefined in the game
cloud orbit
Ok that is what I was asking, is if I could add to that list of pre-defined parameters
it seems not
grand zinc
no
I think you are trying to do something that doesn't make sense, what was the thing you originally wanted to do at the start.
That you now have ended up with eventhandlers and a postInit
cloud orbit
I want a function that is called after all objects are initialized and when the player has taken control of said unit and then pass that object to the script
grand zinc
is the unit/object placed in editor?
cloud orbit
Yes
grand zinc
just give it a variable name and use the variable in your script
no need to pass a parameter or fiddle with eventhandlers
cloud orbit
Was trying to avoid everytime someone wanted to use this unit they have to give it a variable name as when making missions it can be simple to miss
Wanted it to be simply place this unit in eden, check mark the abilities you want and then done
grand zinc
there are probably ways to do what you need. But config isn't it, neither is postInit parameters
Explain in detail what you wanna do in #arma3_scripting and someone will probably figure something out for you

Hi ! Will need some help to be sure cause it's been 3 hours looking for some misstyping for nothing. I got this error :
line58 /CfgVehicules/: ';' encountered instead of '{'
Config : some input after EndOfFile.
13k+ lines is rough to check and I know... I should be more serious about it, but maybe there is something i'm missing or maybe some recurent placement to look at ?
grand zinc
CfgVehicules
The class is supposed to be called CfgVehicles
it looks like you are missing a { at that place where it says that
and no need to check 13k+ lines when it already tells you the error is close to line 58
safe blade
@grand zinc allright ! gonne dig further that way, thx (and screw french for misspell vehicles :p )
class Plane_Base_F: Plane
{
class AnimationSources;
class HitPoints: HitPoints
{
class HitHull;
};
class Components;
class ViewPilot;
};
those are 54 to 63 lanes
grand zinc
think you need to look further around
it says its in CfgVehicles, not in CfgVehicles/Plane_Base_F
Not sure if that can be trusted tho
safe blade
k keep looking for it ! thx for helping
grand zinc
but I'd atleast say it somewhat relatively close by 😄
safe blade
hope so^^ CfgVehicles is ... long.. too long
does ligne error take intended in count ?
grand zinc
indentation doesn't change lines
safe blade
class AMF_RAFALE_M_EJECTION_SEAT_01_F: Ejection_Seat_Base_F;
class AMF_RAFALE_M_CANOPY_01_F: Plane_Canopy_Base_F;
class AMF_RAFALE_M_WRECK_01_F: PlaneWreck;
it's something in there ! Am I blind ?

Is there a function to get any person type unit not in a vehicle?

How can I set a keybind for my mod? So that people can change the key they want to use in controls - configure mods. Is it with CBA? Could anyone give me an example to see how is done?
Ok, so I'm an idiot, I found the CBA documentation and I see how its supposed to be done
willow crane
Would help me if anyone could give an example though. I'm really stuck here
Never worked with cba before

@safe blade class AMF_RAFALE_M_EJECTION_SEAT_01_F: Ejection_Seat_Base_F; class AMF_RAFALE_M_CANOPY_01_F: Plane_Canopy_Base_F; class AMF_RAFALE_M_WRECK_01_F: PlaneWreck; such inheritance is invalid - you cannot use ; - no idea where did you get idea to use it like that? 😄
safe blade
@hot pine oh god ! thank you
gritty rune
on the AFM, all seem to work more or less, but the H-13 stays grounded until you go 95% throttle/collective: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/309283909043224577/703239080556625980/20200424153833_1.jpg
inversely, the UH-1D takes off at 10%. Any ideas what to change in the config or xml config?
gritty rune
seems changing the rotor size is the easy way out, though it might call for more trouble down the road?
dry carbon
@pseudo cedar when I do that, it's like disabling the turn out function. However, his face is still positioned in the cradle, which looks weird when using freelook or head tracking. I created a pose to make him lean slightly back, but when I set this pose (or any pose) for turn out, it raises him up a certain height. I was wondering what that height number might be so I can neutralize it in the animation itself.
I suspect it's a standard number used for all wheeled vehicle and tank turrets, or something like that.
hot pine
@dry carbon there is no such function so I guess are moving that character with model.cfg somehow
dry carbon
I would have thought so, too, but both my in/out positions are in the same world origin location. The "Out" (gunnerAction) definitely raises without any extra settings, afaict.
livid gyro
Any ideas why a addEventHandler["Killed" ...] won't activate in a Multiplayer game, if it seems to be working fine in Single Player? I also tried adding the same function calls via addMPEventHandler, but that didn't immediately work.
hot pine
@dry carbon Are you sure you are still in same LOD?
dry carbon
It was not a LOD problem, but I did just now solve it. I had forgotten to declare the states in the class manactions. Sorting it out was compounded by attempting to use gunnerAction for turned in and gunnerOutAction for turned out. Even when i realized I was doing this, something got botched, and having other positions inherit from the same source really added to my confusion.
Am I crazy or is it slightly different with aircraft?
hot pine
there is no gunnerOutAction
dry carbon
welp. that says a lot
somber wadi
Signs that you dun messed up: That's not even a function.
hot pine
there is only gunnerAction = for turned out state and gunnerInAction, for turned in action
dry carbon
ok well they were dropped in my most recent build, so that's why it's working now. I must have been assuming something, since turned in is generally the needed position to operate a turret.
... that is, an interior turret, and IRL
The turret is improved with the seating worked out a little, and on step closer to working right. Thanks, gents!

Hey everyone,
I'm creating a simple faction mod for my unit. We want to use base game content to create some fictional factions to play with, but without having to load custom stuff every time we spawn an enemy
So it's working, I have a functional pbo, I can load the mod spawn the units and everything, BUT, I can't use any restricted DLC content on these units, for example, I can't give an AK-12 (Apex content) to one of my men. Does one of you know what I'm missing ?
hearty sandal
do you have Apex?
woven python
Yes I do
hearty sandal
do note you will also need the put and throw default weapons there btw
woven python
I can give my guy any weapon I want... as long as the weapon isn't restricted content
Oh yeah I deleted that, thanks ^^
woven python
Yeah, and I also tried with some contact weapons
Same thing with outfits by the way
hearty sandal
have you configured your cfgPatches requiredAddons with latest loadorder as requirement?
A3_Data_F_Tank_Loadorder should probably work
this way your configs are loaded after everything else
woven python
I tried, by adding Apex content but it didn't work
On that point I'm not sure I did the work like I was supposed to, have you got any resources to teach me how to properly do it ?
hearty sandal
I recall Arma Wiki has a page about cfgPatches
woven python
So I should add A3_Data_F_Tank_Loadorder as a requirement ?
hearty sandal
yes
woven python
I added the addon, I'm starting the game right now
hearty sandal
that should work if everything is correctly set up.
woven python
I did the test with a syndicate uniform, by adding characters_f_exp in the list, isn't it the good addon ?
hearty sandal
you probably would have needed the weapon pbo
woven python
So I retried to load this addon and the outfit isn't working, so now I know it's the wring addon, I'll work on that 😉
Thanks for the help !
hearty sandal
however the loadorder is far simpler to use
woven python
I'll make some researches about the order too, thanks for the advices 😉
flint goblet
When configuring new units is it possible to add an eventhandler to their config? I'd like to create renegade units using the addRating or sideEnemy command so they inherit that behaviour by default when placed in the Editor. There's a small section about adding eventhandlers in the Characters/Gear Encoding Guide, makes me think it's possible?
hearty sandal
should be yes
flint goblet
Cool, i'll give it a go, just wanted to know if it wasn't a dead-end task before I started. thx. 😉
woven python
Little question related to my last problem, what is the addon dependency for the Contact content ? No way to equip U_I_E_Uniform_01_tanktop_F by now :(
I tried characters_f_enoch and data_f_enoch
hearty sandal
A3_Data_F_Enoch_Loadorder
or one of the chracter cfgPathces if you want load after characters/uniforms
woven python
I'm trying
I also have this in my rpt : A3_Data_F_Enoch_Loadorder
hearty sandal
dont use all of them, that can probably mess it up
woven python
23:50:53 ERROR: Switch uniform! Uniform is not supported by soldier
23:50:53 Uniform U_I_E_Uniform_01_tanktop_F is not allowed for soldier class FNZ_rifleman*
woven python
So, I can't use this uniform for a bluefor unit ?
hearty sandal
or if its contact uniform then you need contact loadorder
looks to me its enoch one
can you equip it in the arsenal?
woven python
Yes I can
hearty sandal
but from that error yes it seems you cant use it on blufor
you will need to make a blufor version config for that
or make that unit independent and when you use it, switch its side
woven python
Can I make a simple uniform that is based on the one I want to use ?
hearty sandal
probably yes
sullen fulcrum
Is there like... a limit of code in a config? For example I currently have a config with 78k lines, will stuff stop working after a certain point?
hearty sandal
no
but thats a lot of lines
wth are you making?
might be wise to split that up a bit
sullen fulcrum
its just a lighting mod, last time I made an individual lighting mod for each map but this time I want to keep all of it in one config. right now 2 terrains are not accepting the new lighting so it got me concerned
