Yeah, I thought of that but I'd like it so you don't have to spawn a special unit to drop the supply pods. Which is why I thought about the smoke grenade idea.

another question, i have a non launcher style weapon, currently working properly etc etc. however, i dont want it to have the explosive value that the launchers have by default it seems. What i mean is, if i fire and strike something with my weapon is acts like ive fired a low powered rocket or similar. Id like it to just be non explosive

Do duplicate classnames defined in a mod's 'config.cpp' override vanilla config? For defining music states for vanilla tracks for example
You can find extra context here: https://discordapp.com/channels/105462288051380224/105462984087728128/712289363396001803

a question on AFM tuning: When a helicopter steers left or right upon takeoff with just shift pressed (wind off), what to correct so it raises more or less straight? Or leave it as it is probably tail rotor torque effect? E.g. upon take off, should a Huey UH-1D raise straight and level, or steer a bit to the right?
has it to do with autoHoverCorrection[] = {4,3.3,0}; in the RotorLibHelicopterProperties or some other place?

So in CfgAmmo im making a rocket. so i need a positive airFriction value. But this seems to make the rocket start traveling backwards once its velocity hits zero. Is there a better way to handle drag on a slow rocket?
hearty sandal
do you have a new model for it?
mossy river
No im using an existing model.
hearty sandal
are you inheriting from one of the vanilla rockets and changing only the stuff you need to change?
mossy river
Im inheriting from an addon rocket. Its supposed to travel very slow so should have a high arc.
im adjusting airFriction and the thrust values
hearty sandal
if it travels slowly it will need very long burn time to keep it up
is this a realistic weapon?
hearty sandal
what kinds of speeds are you talking about?
you could perhaps derive something from the grenade launcher grenades parameters
mossy river
Ok ill try and look at that
hearty sandal
also again, whats a slow speed?
hearty sandal
m/s?
mossy river
Whatever arma uses in initSpeed and maxSpeed. i think m/s
hearty sandal
how about just normal rpgs properties?
mossy river
Yes. cutting init speed just means it will hit 0vel faster and start going back
at 100m/s and airFriction at 0.8 has the rocket going back at about 270m
hearty sandal
what rocket model are you using?
mossy river
Bazooka from Faces of War mod
hearty sandal
have you tried using vanilla model also?
in case there is something wrong with the actuall ammo model
mossy river
lol like B
Ok setting airFriction and sideAirFriction to 0 fixed it
apparently thats jsut how RV handles drag? By just putting a negative force on it independent of velocity???
hearty sandal
well as you may have noticed from vanilla rpgs etc they do work as intended
I think you are just missing some parameter
mossy river
I tested the vanilla rpg and made it live forever. It eventually does start going backwards once it vel drops to zero.
The thing im doing just travels slow enough that you notice it quicker
hearty sandal
is this only vanilla or ACE used also btw?
mossy river
No ACE. Just CBA and the mod

This is for vehicle config makers:
How do you edit the weapons on a vehicle without breaking the turret? I've looked at the cfg references on the bohemia wiki, but everytime I load into the game, it says bin\config.cpp\cfgVehicles\turret.scope is missing, and the turret does not work in game
zinc ether
are you inheriting the turret class?
lapis quail
Yeah, my code is essentially:
class NewTurret;
class Turrets : Turrets
{
class MainTurret: MainTurret
{
weapons[]= { "weapon I want to change"};
magazine[] = {"Magazines for the weapon"};
};
};
I'm working on an OPTRE-type addon, that would replace the guns of the AMV Marshall to cannons that are a bit better, as well as the Rooikat for it to have more ammo
It was working last week, but since I added them to the cfgPatches - units thing, the new turrets don't work
๐คทโโ๏ธ I might figure it out eventually, but I'm not certain
zinc ether
did you put the addons in ur cfg patches
of the weapon
make sure you define the weapon in ur cfg patches weapons[] array
so like if im using cup_minigun
id want it to look like weapons[] = {cup_minigun};
lapis quail
Yeah yeah I did all that too
lapis quail
Both, you don't even get into the gunner "seat" you kinda just float where the turret would be
Alongside this, I have a Hornet that uses a new gun that I configed based on the 30mm Gau 8, and a set of flares that are from Arma itself, but the gun works and the flares do not
Like vanilla flares should work, but they just don't fire

sullen fulcrum
Anyone know how to add inventory space to an object in configs? Just modelled an ammo can and I'd like to be able to store stuff in it.
sullen fulcrum
I got a quick question about cfgAmmo, essentially I'm creating variations of the 14.5x114mm rounds, and I am wondering about the 'caliber' parameter:
Penetration depth in mm
velocity[m/s] * caliber * penetrability / 1000. Penetrability is a material property (for RHA steel it is 15, for concrete 80, for meat 250).
So I am assuming, if my round has a velocity of 1006 m/s, is 14.5x114mm I would do something like this:
caliber = "1006 * 15 * 15 / 1000"; // I just use the value I get from calculating that, but I put the whole thing so you can see what I meant
I'm not sure about the values of penetrability so I just used the one they gave.
strange egret
caliber has nothing to do with your diameter of the bullet
15ยฒ would mean insane penetration
sullen fulcrum
Alright, so what kind of value should I input there?
strange egret
you look at the reallife penetration against steel. Then you calculate what caliber value you need to get the desired penetration
sullen fulcrum
And then I input that rather than 15^2
So if that value were to be 0.6 (example)
It would look more like
1006 * 0.6 * 15 / 1000
Correct?
strange egret
that would be the penetration in mm, yes.
in the config you use caliber = 0.6
sullen fulcrum
I see, so I just set that value immediately as the float value of the parameter
strange egret
in your case its propably caliber=3 or slightly lower (iirc it was ~45mm RHA penetration)
sullen fulcrum
Alright, thanks for the help I'm gonna try to get the correct value now

I updated it to Tag now
If you don't have one, I would come up with one so all of your stuff you make is easily identifiable
If you want an example where Alive has been used for multiple factions, my mod has it: https://github.com/56curious/VKN_Official_Mod/tree/master/VKN_Extensions/VKN_Extensions_Characters

How do boats "decide" direction of their engine's thrust?
I made a small boat with outboard engine which can be rotated left/right (like the vanilla game's rubber dinghy), but i am struggling with the config to make the direction of thrust follow the rotation of the engine.
What i would expect:
If i rotate the engine all the way right (so it is perpendicular, pointing to the right), and i increase throtle, i would expect the boat to start turning left more or less in place, maybe drifting a bit towards the right, but turning.
What i get:
If i try the above, the boat remains still, it doesn't move at all.
Only if i turn the engine little less than all the way, so it is turned less than 90 degrees, then the boat tends to move forward VERY slowly, and it starts turning only after it gains some forward speed.
Can it be done the way i want, or is the boat simulation too simplified, not capable of what i want?
And another question:
How to delay the movement of the boat until certain amount of thrust has been achieved?
...so it doesn't start moving immediately when the engine was turned on, but only after the RPM get high enough for the engine to generate enough thrust.
I only found that if i set thrustDelay to something like 5, it will slow down the ship's acceleration (which still isn't wht i want, but at least its something), but it also slows down the rate at which you can rotate the engine, which makes the boat nearly uncontrollable.
nova sail
I want the boat's thrust vector follow where the engine is pointing.
So if i point the engine right, it will make hte boat rotate left, because the engine is located at the back and the boat center of gravity is before it.
Sure, it can slide a bit towards right, but the main point is turning to the opposite side than where the engine is pointed
nova sail
The game seems to simulate all boats as boats with fixed forward pointing engine where the steering is controlled by rudder - therefore, the boat needs to be at speed for the rudder can have any effect on the boat turning.
What i want, is a boat with outboard engine which can be turned left and right, more than 90', so there is no rudder and the direction the engine is turned controls the direction of the thrust.
You mean instead of:
angle0=1.5; angle1=-1.5;
i would do:
angle0=-1.5; angle1=1.5;
...and that will suddenly make the simulation work the way i want??? that makes no sense to me, but i'll try.
No, that just reversed the engine rotation, but has no effect on simulation.
I think you misunderstood what i meant.
hot pine
@nova sail do you have any real life video of what do you mean?

@hot pine nope, i actually spent almost 2 hours looking for one on YT, but apparently nobody thought such thing is worth of making video about :-D
...maybe this comes close: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vc9DUvVw2jU
hot pine
so you want very short turning radius, right?
http://feedback.rhsmods.org/view.php?id=4963 something like in this ticket?
nova sail
hmm, kind of, maybe, it would probably be satisfactory.
I want the boat to turn without having to first achieve forward momentum.
hot pine
try reducing waterAngularDampingCoef = 3.0; to this value (or even lower) and then increase rudderForceCoef = 3.5;
engineShiftZ = 3.0; - defines where "engine" is placed, and its offset from center
with proper values you can achieve turning on spot
nova sail
i played with those values already, but so far no matter what i did, the bot always requires some forward/backward momentum before it can start turning.
But i did not try messing with waterAngularDampingCoef, that one eluded me, i will try more experiments.
grand zinc

yes... but.. not really
its in a config, in a pbo that has to be loaded before any mod is loaded

yes bin.pbo in mod I also remember working
searching for the number 288
Its not a number, its the number of names defined int he config

is there some config property that could cause a pilot appear inside a plane?
I place the plane in the editor, i drag the pilot out and delete him, i start the scenario and suddenly the plane's engine is running and it has a pilot in.
strong shuttle
the editor has a checkbox at the bottom right which allows you to include a crew, if you uncheck that it will place an empty vehicle
nova sail
yeah, i know about that, my question is whether there is something in the config that may cause the behavior i desribed - that a pilot somehow appears even after i remove it.
strong shuttle
Vehicles normally have a crew in the configs, which are used by the editor to pre-fill them. However I've never seen empty vehicles being filled without a reason...
nova sail
It happens only with vehicles from which i remove the crew manually.
If i use that checkbox to place the plane without a crew, its fine, it remains empty.
But if i place another with crew and then remove the pilot, it somehow conjures up a pilot when i hit "play in SP".
...i am not trying to solve a problem of "how do i place empty vehicles", but i am trying to solve a problem "why the vehicle i created has the ability to conjure up a pilot if the pilot was removed".
It doesn't happen to any other vehicles, only to the plane i created.
strong shuttle
It happens only with vehicles from which i remove the crew manually.

There's your problem and solution...
Manually removing a crew member obviously doesn't change how the mission is loading the vehicle (with crew)...
I haven't tested this, but I wouldn't be surprised if that would be the case.
nova sail
Manually removing a crew member obviously doesn't change how the mission is loading the vehicle (with crew)...
@strong shuttle Well, i think it has to, if this way you can remove crew from vehicles which were placed with a crew.
There's your problem and solution...
@strong shuttle You dont understand. Yes, if i had this weird problem, i can just solve it by placing the vehicle without a crew in the first place. But that is not the problem i am trying to solve. I made a vehicle which has this weird bug, and i need to fix this bug, otherwise the world will be full of confused ppl running around asking why that mod they just downloaded has this bug.

@fathom zenith yesn't. You could probably attachTo the magazine onto the vest onto predetermined positions on the body. But with most things ArmA it'd just look super janky cus attachTo doesn't follow rotation
or at least AFAIK
would ofc only work if you were to use only one type of weapon, or you'd have to make a texture/model for every single mag in the game ๐

And that would work only on custom vests. So short answer is simply, no.

Alright, thx for the help
or put all mag models on the vest with invisible textures and hiddenselections, then apply the texture when the unit has the mags

@nova sail is it working in regular Virtual Garage?
@hot pine i googled, but i am not sure what that is? some sort of script ppl use? a mod? i did find some "garage" function, kind of like arsenal, is that wht you mean?
wintry tartan
Open Arsenal from menu > There's two buttons on the top of the Arsenal screen, the right one is
nova sail
that menu is in editor or in some mission? i just dont see anything like that anywhere.
You do not mean wht i meant, the "Edit Vehicle Appearance..." option you get when you rightclick a vehicle in the editor?
wintry tartan
Main Menu I mean
nova sail
aaaaah, from the screen when yo ujust start the game and it wont go anywhere automtically yet? ๐ ok, sorry, mmt
Found it.
No, its the same thing - i can click on the texture options, they do show on the vehicle, but the checkbox doesn't get ticked.
Interestingly, i added an option to hide the door, and everytime i toggle it, the vehicle texture changes to randomly chosen texture.
I know rambling doesn't help, but omg, the documentation for this game is actually worse than what Bethesda has for Skyrim and Fallouts - and those aren't too great either.
Or is there some other place beside wiki and forums, where i can read this stuff, instead of spending days by trial and error and then asking in forums?
I started working on this 3 days ago, this is just crazy ๐
(and when i say 3 days, that means i haven't been doing nothing else except this and sleeping)
wintry tartan
nova sail
yeah, i read that several times, it contains no information that would point me to what the problem is.
its probably some little piece of information that got omitted, because everybody thinks its widely known, or something like that ๐
wintry tartan
Well so, let me clarify your issue, you can't see your custom textures in Edit Vehicle Appearance from Eden Editor right?
nova sail
nono, i can see them, i only cannot select them, as in "chose them to be applied"
...if i click on the texture option, it does change the preview model, but the checkbox doesn't get ticked, and when i click "OK" to confirm the choice, it goes back to the editor and the texture remains the same.
nova sail
it is a vehicle i made config for - a plane converted from Arma 2
OMG! I found it!
THE TEXTURE PATHS!
wintry tartan
Ahh, good to hear
nova sail
They must either contain complete filename including extension (ie. not just red_texture, but red_texture.paa), and/or they need to be absolute paths, starting with \ (ie. \a3\...\red_texture.paa).
...i doubt the starting slash is required, but probably the file extension.
wintry tartan
That's some kind of weirdo of Arma
nova sail
Like i said, a minor detail missing from the wiki. Its always like that ๐
wintry tartan
You can shout it in #community_wiki to improve it!
nova sail
yeah, i'll do that after i verify whether it requires the slash too, or just the extension.
thank you

I guess extension is required and without it, string comparison fails

@hearty sandal I believe, on the steam workshop atleast, TFAR just become TFR - I may be wrong though. As there used to be 2 mods, and now I can only find the one which is TFR- and mentions nothing about TFAR being the newer version. I think they just scrapped TFR sort of thing and now TFR is TFAR.
Again, may be wrong
in fact I'm sure I'm wrong but the whole TFR/TFAR scene is confusing and it's what I've understood from the description of the mod?

Yet, when i test it in eden, i cannot seem to be able to mount back in the driver seat after dismounting. I even tried working around with it by using ACE and trying a getin action, but all i achieved was the driver playing the getin animation 2 meters above the tank and falling down, hurting itself.

How can I correctly inherit the Rhino MGS's turret class? I'm configuring a new class of rhino with more ammo and a different gun, but any time I try to config the turret, it doesn't work. Here's my inheritance for the classes

So i my unit is looking to switch our fixed with aircraft from the yax's super hornet mod to something that marine corps aviation actually operates. We came across Laroche's old F-35C mod, and we really like it. However the FIR AWS compat is completely broken. So changing the loadout in game is completely impossible, including the Ace interacts with a rearm truck. I'd like some help on making an entirely new Compat for this aircraft to make it usable, not only for us. But for other Units that want a carrier capable F-35 mod isnt a port from Arma 2 like every other mod

You can't elevate them

wintry tartan
You can't means you can't, unless you make a set of (elevated) animations

shouldnt it just use the same animations but move the model a bit higher?

You can't since the model is binarized

Hello, (model cfg question). I'm trying to get a helicopter rotor to spin like a Turbine (right now they're spinning like a coin flipping rather than a fan). I've tried a few things now but this is what i currently have (I was playing about with the angles so they'll be wrong). Any suggestions?
source="rotorH";
selection="main rotor";
axis="velka osa";
angle0="2 * 3.1415926536";
angle1=0; ```the animation system cant make turbine like speeds due to game framerate. Helicopter rotors have separate smudgy high speed spinning rotor that gets switched at certain speed
so for turbines it would likely have to be faked too
finite bronze
So would I just have to have give my turbine blade a rotation animation that would start up when you spawn the vehicle in/ turn engine on?
hearty sandal
to get it rotating, yes
to get it looking like super high speed, it likely needs some trickery like what the helicopter blades has
finite bronze
I don't mind the speed, just want them to start rotating, haha. Any idea what I would put in the config to start them rotating when the engines turn on?
finite bronze
Do I do this in the cpp or model cfg?
Sorry let me rephrase that (bad question on my end).
Should I keep the animation in the model CFG or make a new animation in the cpp and have it execute on engine start up?
hearty sandal
if you use game engine animation sources like the rotorH then it plays automatically when the game engine outputs that source
so model.cfg is enough
rotors turn on automatically but they are tied to the RPM/throttle
you could also have 2 set of turbine rotors
static and one that rotates constantly with "time" as its animation source
and then use rpm or rotorH or userAction to swap between those 2 with a hide animation
finite bronze
Okay, thanks for the advice ๐

Well without using the mods it is pretty much impossible to say whats wrong. You would need to either learn the stuff yourself or find someone who knows whats what and is interested in both of those mods.

Does anyone know a way to have a mine 'explode' but without it being deleted after the explosion?
strong shuttle
use setDamage on the explosive to destroy it (aka explode), it will most likely be gone (since mines don't have a destruction model afaik), but the impact will remain
quick gorge
I did some more digging and it looks like the training mine does exactly what I need, thanks for the help though ๐
Explodes, mine is still there after the 'explosion'
hot pine
yes, it's scripted though
quick gorge
Seeing you wrote it, would you recommend going that route or trying the submunition route?
hot pine
I wanted to to rewrite training mine to use both submunition & script but there were some unknowns which I didn't solve last time I checked
scripted would be fine as long as you are not planning to place 100 mines and then roll over with tank through such minefield

@hot pine
Seeing you've just done it though scripting for the training mine I'll follow your lead and go that route.

with submunition approach you should be able to even retain original direction of mine (neither trip mine flare from RHS or training mine doesn't do that )
quick gorge
What is the performance impact of submunitions vs createVehicleLocal or createSimpleObject?
In the context of, if a mine is set of, the remains of that mine would say in the same position for the rest of the mission, the same as how the training mine works currently.
Would there be a major performance impact if one was used over the other? (Submunitions vs other. I already know that simple object is best)
I'd like the mine to stay after detonation but I don't want it to cause a massive performance impact by having physX simulation and other things like that.

Hello everyone! Just getting a strange error with my new uniforms. Uniforms works good in local, but when I'm logged in inside a dedicated server, if I'm wearing those uniforms there is a chance that the new user see me without the texture. Here are some pics:
https://gyazo.com/14df592a596389a3d45104952e7e5cd9 (Insignia and camo2 swapped due to this bug)
The quick solution is to drop the uniform and put it on again. The texture mix is done, but I really want to fix that texture bug. I will drop the hiddenSelections and HiddenTextures below
hiddenSelections[]= { "Camo", "Camo2", "Insignia" }; hiddenSelectionsTextures[]= { "VSM_AOR1\Data\VSM_ARD_AOR1_1.paa", "\VSM_AOR1\Data\basicbody_mcoe_co.paa" };
(This one is from the shirt uniform)
hiddenSelections[]= { "Camo1", "camo2", "Insignia" }; hiddenSelectionsTextures[]= { "VSM_AOR1\Data\VSM_AOR1_BDU.paa", "VSM_AOR1\Data\VSM_AOR1_1.paa" };
Code that creates the battle-dress uniform
Camo1 and Camo2 are used to pick the shirt and pants respectively in two different textures.
Anyone have encountered this bug before? Any fix known?
I suspect that when the user is loading the textures of other users already in the server, insignia loads before camo2 and camo2 gets stuck, because this bug is always with Camo2. Camo1 in both uniforms loads just fine.

Hey guys, I need some help. I'm trying to delete a single parameter from an inherited class for a weapon (Unsure if this is possible?). Quick and dirty example code, I know how I can delete an entire class (see: subclass) but not a single "line" per se. What I'm trying to achieve in this case is delete the "randomparam" line so that no value is carried forward into my new class.
Class weapon: other_weapon {
displayname = "Something";
randomparam = "name";
delete SUBCLASS;
};```what if you just leave it empty?
like so Class other_weapon; Class weapon: other_weapon { displayname = "Something"; randomparam = ""; delete SUBCLASS; };
timber inlet
It doesn't seem to like that
It gave the same results in game as just leaving to be inherited normally
I can make it work by substituting my weapon class name in those slots, but it's functionality I don't require and it's an extra 15 or so lines per weapon
And effort... Trying to fix this in my base class so it's not carried into derivative ones
strange egret
what about just overwriting it via "class __MAGSWITCHCLASS {};" ?
idle matrix
I think he wants to get rid of the baseWeapon entry which isn't in that class
otherwise just deleting the magswitch class would also delete the entry he wants rid off and he wouldn't have this issue
timber inlet
Yeah the subclass is taken care of thankfully
Just left with the RHS grips and default weapon entries
This is inheriting from Toadies HK416 which offers support for RHS foregrips, I donโt intend on doing the same so I want to remove all those parts of the config but retain inheritance especially re; sounds, firemodes and other weapon parameters
Option 2 is create my own base class inheriting off rifle_base_f and inherit the sounds through another method.
timber inlet
I gave that a shot, it gave different results to an empty string but not entirely working
Iโll have to play with it more in the morning, and open the weapon config in game to see what actually happened when I did that
idle matrix
what if you looked for the script or eventhandler that uses that parameter and delete that instead?
then it doesn't matter if the parameter is there or not
probably easier too
timber inlet
I was trying to avoid breaking the functionality in the other mods that do actually use it
idle matrix
no I mean in your specific base class
it has to inherit something that uses those parameters
timber inlet
Iโm not totally sure about how to do that. I think truth be told I may have to bite the bullet and make my own base class instead of piggy back, if nothing else to refactor and generally tidy up my code
finite bronze
Just to make sure I'll do it correctly (with the amount of bad info out there) anyone got a reliable tutorial on how to add wrecked models for vehicles you make (and have them spawn in when the vehicle dies)?
plucky notch
There may be a way to do it with config files, the only way I can think to do it is with an event handler https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Event_Handlers#Killed
I have a question of my own, I am trying to add object tracking to a turret (a.k.a using Ctrl-T you can lock the camera onto a vehicle, and it will automatically move the vehicle so it is always on the screen.) I know it is possible, I am looking for functionality exactly like the vanilla UAVs. I have tried to use stabilizedInAxes, but that just allows for compensation of movement, not tracking. I also didn't see anything exciting in the UAV's config using the splendid config viewer
lapis quail
You may want to look into the actual camera pods @plucky notch , maybe find the camera pod in the cfg weapons somewhere
plucky notch
Thank you! I will take a look around

Unfortunately I wasn't able to find the targeting pod information you mentioned, and I can't seem to get other information on it - at this rate I will probably end up implementing as a script.
Thank you for your help though!

@finite bronze I was wrong before, the way the mod I am working on does it is to use destrtype = "DestructWreck" from there I don't know. Maybe it's a LOD?

idle matrix
for the units array in CfgPatches, what exactly is supposed to go in there?
also, what exactly is it for anyway?
strong shuttle
idle matrix
so, everything that goes under CfgVehicles? even things like backpacks?
and that's not very clear on what it does IMO
strong shuttle
yes, all new classes in CfgVehicles
idle matrix
bit odd to call it units when backpacks apparently also go in there but okay
it's arma after all :p
strong shuttle
I would say it's still an artefact from OFP times
timber inlet
@wide vessel the CUP one does it too, at a very basic guess I would assume it has something to do with the buoyancy geometry LOD
There are also values that define at what point the vehicle starts to take damage from water. I cannot recall if these are config parameters or memory points

What do you mean by that? @hot pine
wide vessel
How is advanced and simple flight model separated or recognized within the GenHeli600-DesktopSim.xml file?
hot pine
@ornate cape where do you want to write that code?
ornate cape
in the config.cpp
that execVM an sqf file that applies the script to the bullet upon it being created. @hot pine
ornate cape
so fired would have the ammo execVM an sqf upon it being fired correct? @hot pine
ornate cape
so a zeus module that fires the ammo won't have it's properties?
hearty sandal
spawning is not same as firing
ornate cape
I'm aware but i'm unsure if the zeus module spawns or fires the ammo.
that is where I'm unaware of how that works
hearty sandal
I would say it spawns them
since firing would require character or vehicle to do the firing
ornate cape

When making a custom inventory item and inheriting from InventoryItem_Base_F, what does type = represent?

its flags stuff ๐
For example inventory items with a specific type act as a first aid kit and add the scrollwheel action.
Others act as a mine detector and add the detector functionality

Awesome, is there a list for them anywhere?
Also, having an issue when I add this item to my inventory it seems to add 25 of another item too... any idea on what setting ive screwed lol?

if you are willing to require CBA
you could just use their baseItem class that I linked above

if they support hidden selections then you need to make a new item class that uses your textures on the hiddenselection textures array
@hearty sandal Uhhh, so I must say that I looked all thru the samples and I didn't find anything relating to NVGs. Don't get me wrong, they're part of a retexturing mod i'm making, so I know what a config is (altough bear in mind i'm new to this). What i really ment, was if i could just get their config, where i could only put my texture for them, or if i could find the original arma 3 config(s?) anywhere, since i need the original armour, piercing, etc.. values for my Uniforms, vests, backpacks and helmets

nvm just leave the nvgs away since they're not much of a problem rn. The thing is that i'm trying to put a logo for my mod. And i did a mod.cpp where i put all the logo name; picture; logoSmall; logo; logoOver; etc. With their respective paths, but for some reason it doesn't work. Does it come in the Addon folder which is made into a .pbo or before that? Or does it come in the .pbo and somehow called in the config?

Which logo do you mean? The one shown at the main screen (bottom of page where all loaded mods are), or the icon next to objects in 3den and Arsenal?

Would someone be able to assist with a uniform ground holder config? The uni shows up on my rifleman and in the arsenal, but it doesn't show up as a ground item, and it can't be unequipped or hold items - it essentially doesn't exist in the inventory space
I followed the guide on the wiki
idle matrix
did you make a CfgWeapons entry for it?
long wagon
Does it need a separate CfgWeapons entry (in this case no), or am I supposed to refer to the CfgWeapons entry used for the soldier in CfgVehicles (in this case yes)?
long wagon
Sounds like youre trying to reference a class that doesn't exist
did you define a class for groundtextur1?
strong shuttle
So you ripped something from a mod and now asking why it doesn't work? ๐ค

Been working with the character config given here (https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Characters_And_Gear_Encoding_Guide), anyone know if theres a way to put attachments on weapons in a character config?
hearty sandal
I recall you need a weapon version that has the attachements set up to be attached and then you put that on the character
there are plenty of characters in vanilla that have different attachements on their weapons
so it is possible

awesome thanks ill look into it

Hey, I am currenly stumped on something in CfgWeapons.
I was having the issue that the laser designator is firing out of the gun, which for most aircraft isn't a problem, but in the mod I am a developer for (AH-64D Apache) they are not always pointing at the same location.
I worked with a modeller to add two new memory points to act as the muzzle for the laser designator, namely "TADS_LRFD_Start" and "TADS_LRFD_End". I then built a new laser designator in CfgWeapons, which is the following:
class Laserdesignator_mounted;
class fza_Laserdesignator_mounted: Laserdesignator_mounted {
irLaserPos = "TADS_LRFD_Start";
irLaserEnd = "TADS_LRFD_End";
muzzlePos = "TADS_LRFD_Start";
muzzleEnd = "TADS_LRFD_End";
};
The laser still seems to be following the gun, and I am trying to work out how to change that. Has anyone had experience with a similar thing?

Hi, does anybody know if the following (Huron, Huron (Unarmed) and Hellcat) support hiddenSelectionsTextures?
I tried retexturing them for my mod, and I checked everything like 10 times and I couldn't notice anything wrong, but they won't have my texture on them, only the default one. No errors or anything either. Does anybody know what the issue could be?
B_Heli_Transport_03_F
B_Heli_Transport_03_unarmed_F
I_Heli_light_03_dynamicLoadout_F

Not sure sorry @indigo sinew.
However, any y'all know if there's a class which only includes uniforms; vests, and headgear? I want to automatically set sizes for all those things to improve another mod which creates a new armour modular armour system. Basically, it wouldn't make sense having an 8 pound vest without an armour plate technically in it.
hearty sandal
Class that does what? Where? The question does now quite make sense.
@full wagon
@indigo sinew you can use the get texture command or look into the particular vehicles config in the config viewer to find out
Or try the set object texture command

Thanks, i'll look into it

Sorry @hearty sandal, I meant to ask how I can change the mass of all uniforms, vests and headgear automatically.
hearty sandal
you cant
strong shuttle
You can override the configs, but you'll have to do it manually for each single item.

All good @hearty sandal, and yeah exactly @strong shuttle.. I wish I could do that, but I suck at most repeatable tasks unfortunately. I already have a hard enough time functioning in real life because of mostly being unable to deal with missing comfort or feeling pain.

Is it possible to make config that will define which pbos of a mod will be loaded?
And can i place Addons into any subfolders in a mod? As far i read on wiki, i can do: mod_fo\addons\addon_fo.pbo\subMod_fo\addons\addon1_fo.pbo; but is it possible to achieve without double packing them?

When a config is read, all the pbo's are already loaded
And can i place Addons into any subfolders in a mod?
no
As far i read on wiki, i can do: mod_fo\addons\addon_fo.pbo\subMod_fo\addons\addon1_fo.pbo;
No you can't do that, where did you read that?
