Is it possible to have hiddenSelectionsTextures apply to a magazine model in a groundWeaponHolder?

wintry tartan Jan 30, 2021, 4:58 AM

#

A magazine is a different part than a weapon. I don't think it's impossible

I am currently trying to import a shotgun I have previously put into game and convert it into working in a pistol slot, other than class names and inheriting class name (from Rifle_Base_F to Pistol_Base_F) I have not changed anything but it is doing some funky stuff with the characters arms, the handAnim I am using is handAnim[] = {"OFP2_ManSkeleton","\rhsusf\addons\rhsusf_c_weapons\anims\rhs_hand_m590.rtm"}; inheriting from RHS (until I can do one of my own), when using the Rifle Base it looks like https://i.gyazo.com/577c277dfde2d9079977ccdee497157f.png but when I use the Pistol base it does this: https://i.gyazo.com/128b297d35317dbd4948b260f8e43561.png is there a fix for this or is it just an Arma limitation?

Pistols use a different animation system so a .rtm made for a rifle wont directly work on a pistol

if you get it working give us a shout 😄
I also could do with the same thing, but doesn't seem to work the same way it does for weapons

high osprey Jan 30, 2021, 12:11 PM

#

hearty sandal what is it you are trying to do 😄

This animation was supposed to rotate the head of a missile as it changes direction, since this is how it steers.
If direction doesn't work as a source I'd be happy enough settling for another as an analogue, but since I did manage to get direction to hide or unhide the part in certain setups I was starting to think it might work

hearty sandal Jan 30, 2021, 12:30 PM

#

For that it might work in theory but could indeed be its not a available for munitions

high osprey Jan 30, 2021, 12:35 PM

#

fair enough. It's one of the smaller details that likely wouldn't even be noticed so I'll probably ignore it or use time or random or some such as an alternative.
Thanks again!

hearty sandal Jan 30, 2021, 12:44 PM

#

Yeh it's only really observable in videos.

#

Airplanes do have the different steering components though so those could work too

aileron, elevator and rudder sources work for missiles if you want it to animate when it's steering. Consider how planes steer and make anims for the head of the missile accordingly

high osprey Jan 30, 2021, 2:33 PM

#

still don't understand the timer animation source apparently

#

class hideFlame { type = "hide"; source = "time"; selection = "flame"; sourceAddress = "clamp"; minValue = 0; maxValue = 3; hideValue = 0.5; unhideValue = 1.5; };
I just want a thing to hide when the thing starts and unhide after x seconds
But no matter how I set it up it always seems to be either always hidden or always unhidden

#

if my rotatable commander hatch not on my main turret, can i still use class commander optics under class main turret, or is it better if make a new turret?

strange egret Jan 30, 2021, 4:34 PM

#

no you should make a new turret. Turret structure should match skeleton structure

raven knot Jan 30, 2021, 4:36 PM

#

okay then

#

it is gunless tho, does it still goes inside turret?

hearty sandal Jan 30, 2021, 4:55 PM

Yes

strange egret Jan 30, 2021, 4:56 PM

to use optics , or to be considered commander it needs a turret. cant have a passenger be a vehicle commander

Does anyone know how to Blacklist/Whitelist ViV objects in the config?

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Vehicle_in_Vehicle_Transport#Transport.2Ftransported_vehicles_and_parameters
specific vehicles can be blacklisted and therefore can't be loaded, done with config parameter
I cant find any examples.

Arma 3: Vehicle in Vehicle Transport

untold temple Jan 30, 2021, 7:01 PM

#

Dunno if it's just a poorly worded way of saying what canBeTransported does

shut fulcrum Jan 30, 2021, 7:02 PM

#

hmmm. OK i was after a way to black list everything but a limited number of pallets and boxes on the HAM trucks.

strange egret Jan 30, 2021, 7:08 PM

#

isnt dimensions and mass limit good enough ?

shut fulcrum Jan 30, 2021, 7:09 PM

#

not really. the stuff i want is ISO container size. But Its a special type of connector

strange egret Jan 30, 2021, 7:10 PM

#

you could eject it by script if it isnt the right type - not as "nice" but should work

untold temple Jan 30, 2021, 7:11 PM

#

Since boxes etc. don't come with a vanilla action to load them anyway (only drivable vehicles do), I suppose you could set the trucks to _veh enableVehicleCargo false at init and unlock the cargo carrying ability with what ever action you are adding to load the containers

shut fulcrum Jan 30, 2021, 7:12 PM

#

hmmm ok either way im going to end up with scripting arent I. :/

strange egret Jan 30, 2021, 7:13 PM

#

aye. Also, why not use attachTo if its just a simple container anyway?

shut fulcrum Jan 30, 2021, 7:14 PM

#

im trying to use as little scripting as possible and attachto has mp issues apparently

#

so im exploring all options before going too far down the scripting road (that im not comfortable with)

untold temple Jan 30, 2021, 7:15 PM

#

I thought ViV was just fancy attachto to be honest

#

It's got all the drawbacks

shut fulcrum Jan 30, 2021, 7:15 PM

#

it is... but it doesnt require me to write code 😛

#

and you cant animate it

strange egret Jan 30, 2021, 7:16 PM

#

only attachto issue i know is that attached object is forced to use same simulation step as the parent

#

but if you attach container to truck, its irrelevant

shut fulcrum Jan 30, 2021, 7:16 PM

#

yeah

#

just wanted to explore options

#

and given how the VIV page is worded the ability to blacklist classes via config would of been helpful so i asked

untold temple Jan 30, 2021, 7:23 PM

#

@hot pine The KrAZ PMP and BMK-T carriers we have in RHS can only carry those specific objects, right?

hot pine Jan 30, 2021, 7:25 PM

#

sort of - ViV is disabled by default and then those specific vehicles can be loaded by action

#

so it's scripted solution

untold temple Jan 30, 2021, 7:26 PM

#

Ah, like what I proposed above them

shut fulcrum Jan 30, 2021, 7:26 PM

#

k thanks

#

ill have a proper look at the scripting when i come to it later - thanks all the replied

#

(someone ideally needs to change the wording on the VIV page) 😉

untold temple Jan 30, 2021, 7:40 PM

#

specific vehicles can be blacklisted and therefore can't be loaded, done with config parameter -> parameter to prevent vehicles from being transportable even if their size and mass would normally allow them to be carried by transport vehicles clear enough?

shut fulcrum Jan 30, 2021, 7:41 PM

#

id give an example tbh

#

it doesnt translate well

strange egret Jan 30, 2021, 7:41 PM

#

keep it simple - "disables possibility for this specific vehicle to be transported / loaded on other vehicles"

sullen fulcrum Jan 30, 2021, 9:46 PM

raven knot Jan 31, 2021, 10:47 AM

#

so i added a 2nd turret for my rotatable commander hatch, turns out i have 2 gunner slot now. does commander setting must be in class commanderoptics?

#

what is it that add the 2nd gunner? it supposed to be gunnerless

strange egret Jan 31, 2021, 11:35 AM

#

please post config to pastebin or similar service

raven knot Jan 31, 2021, 11:47 AM

#

https://pastebin.com/g2dHgpaT

#

only the turret part for easier reading

#

just added primaryGunner and primaryObserver. just found out about it. haven't tested it yet

strange egret Jan 31, 2021, 11:52 AM

#

yes you need primaryObserver on the comnmander turret.
However, what makes you think its a "2nd gunner" ? The name when you enter the vehicle? if so, you can simply rename that

#

gunnerName="Commander";

raven knot Jan 31, 2021, 11:54 AM

#

because now i have 1 commander and 1 gunner on my commander turret and 1 gunner on the main turret

#

then i assume i will need to define commanding=1 andcommanding=2 accordingly?

strange egret Jan 31, 2021, 11:56 AM

#

that too yes, but its only for AI - nothing to do with your issue

#

Line 33 in the pastebin -> you define a new Turret for the COmmanderturret

#

class Turret in the vehicle is where all turrets are. If you define a turret inside a turret you stack it on top basically

#

since you inherit from CommanderTurret, it is already a functional turret (except all memory names etc is incorrect), and then you add one on top with class turrets{ class CommanderOptics

#

-> Remove L31 to L34 (and the corrseponding brackets and semicolons at the bottom)

#

change "class CommanderOptics: CommanderOptics"
to
"class CommanderOptics: NewTurret"

#

in L140 -> enter a new line below that and write
"class CommanderOptics:CommanderOptics{};"
because turrets are not passed down the chain if you redefine class Turrets

#

L139 & L29 "class Turret: Turrets" <- must be "class Turrets: Turrets"

raven knot Jan 31, 2021, 12:09 PM

#

ahh okay ill try that and see how it turns out

raven knot Jan 31, 2021, 12:43 PM

#

this inheritance stuff still making me confuse 😫

strange egret Jan 31, 2021, 12:45 PM

#

turrets are special, they will not "transport over" if you define "class Turrets:Turrets{};"

raven knot Jan 31, 2021, 12:46 PM

#

i see. so if you dont need it you still need to define it

strange egret Jan 31, 2021, 12:47 PM

#

yeah - unless the child vehicle doesnt have a class Turrets on its own - then it will transport over 1:1

raven knot Jan 31, 2021, 12:47 PM

#

so was my base inheritance class correct?

#

for gunnerless commander turret, i would still need class commanderOptics right?

#

or it can be any name?

strange egret Jan 31, 2021, 12:48 PM

#

no, it can be any

#

esp. if you inherit from NewTurret

raven knot Jan 31, 2021, 12:50 PM

#

ah okay, i might as well use commanderturret for better understading

#

on my wheels part, i somehow fixed it by redrawing the tracks, but now there is an issue where the tracks will "jerk" to the ground when i start moving the apc. (speed 0 to higher). it's like the initial power that took the vehicle to move was so high that tracks goes into the ground and bounce up again

strange egret Jan 31, 2021, 1:02 PM

#

raven knot Jan 31, 2021, 1:06 PM

hearty sandal Jan 31, 2021, 2:53 PM

#

the commander turret is on top of the main turret yes?

raven knot Jan 31, 2021, 2:53 PM

#

no

#

on top of the hull, just like driver hatch. actually it is a rotatable hatch

#

for commander

hearty sandal Jan 31, 2021, 2:54 PM

#

alright then the setup seems ok.

#

you need to check your apcs config in ingame config viewer to see where it puts the third turret

raven knot Jan 31, 2021, 2:55 PM

#

what do you mean by "where"

hearty sandal Jan 31, 2021, 2:58 PM

#

where in the config the extra turret is

#

so you can start tracing where it gets inherited from

raven knot Jan 31, 2021, 3:03 PM

#

i need to find it by it's class name? in this case. CommanderOptics

hearty sandal Jan 31, 2021, 3:13 PM

#

no just open up the APCs config in config viewer

#

and see what kind of turrets it has

raven knot Jan 31, 2021, 3:19 PM

#

yes i opened config viewer. just not sure what to look for

#

didnt see anything turet related

strange egret Jan 31, 2021, 3:24 PM

#

class turrets -> if you see 2 then it means one has a subturret

#

Line 13 - L17 - that doesnt look like vanilla? Dont put that in the Tank_F class. You are overwriting vanilla class properties that way, adding a new turret

raven knot Jan 31, 2021, 3:27 PM

#

ohh

#

i need to put that on my base class

strange egret Jan 31, 2021, 3:34 PM

#

Line 21 - remove that, at best case it does nothing, at worst case you inherit a subturrets from the main turret

hearty sandal Jan 31, 2021, 3:34 PM

#

that is likely what is happening now

raven knot Jan 31, 2021, 3:41 PM

#

line 21 is from sample, but with class CommanderOptics; in the class Turrets bracket, i simply remove the class commanderoptics

strange egret Jan 31, 2021, 3:43 PM

#

never change base classes (Tank_F) - they need to match what they actually are. class CommanderTurrets doesnt exist in Tank_F to my knowledge

raven knot Jan 31, 2021, 3:43 PM

#

i see okay then

strange egret Jan 31, 2021, 3:44 PM

#

and Line 21 - you only should inherit what you actually need, because it can lead to bad surprises

#

if you dont want to have mainturret having turrets itself - dont call it in the base class

raven knot Jan 31, 2021, 3:47 PM

#

but line 21 is from Tank_F, i thought dont change anything from vanilla class?

#

main turret is called on the public class

strange egret Jan 31, 2021, 3:49 PM

#

dont change (add new /modify things) - but leaving out classes you dont want is ok.

#

Inside class mainturret in your vehicle (so >=L138) , add a line "class Turrets {};" -> that redefines the class and removes any maybe unwanted inheritances

#

you could also check config of (i think) CSAT tracked apc - or was it wheeled? That has a turret, and a commander that is not child of the main turret. For reference.
You can extract the config from the game pbos - or use an AllInOne Config

#

now i gotta fix my model cfg since i change vanilla's skeletons and model :p

#

oh now when i enter my apc as commander, it uses the gunner's proxy, how do i set it to use another proxy?

strange egret Jan 31, 2021, 4:49 PM

#

proxyType="CPGunner"; //proxyType= "CPCommander" //proxy has to be named according to this (proxy:Gunner.XX or proxy:Commander.XX)
proxyIndex=1; //the .XX number of proxy

#

it doesnt matter if you use Gunner or Commander for proxy name (as long as its one of the two) - the rest is done via the index

#

and since thats prob the next question - you can set which LOD to use for each turret seperately
LODTurnedIn = 1000; //1000=Gunnerview; 1100=Pilotview; 1200=Cargoview; -1 = default LOD
LODTurnedOut = 1000; //can define different view lods for turned in/out mode

rough hatch Jan 31, 2021, 5:59 PM

I have a vehicle with a turret that has 2 seats, one is the gunner that actually controls the elevation and rotation of the turret and the other is like a assistant gunner which kinda just sits there but doesn't actually do anything, both have a freelook view and a sighted view, my problem is that the assistant gunner's freelook view does not follow the turret, it always sits looking towards the front of the vehicle no matter how the turret is rotated

#

the sighted view is fine since its memory point is locked to the turret

hearty sandal Jan 31, 2021, 6:02 PM

#

is his turret seat nested inside the main turret?

rough hatch Jan 31, 2021, 6:03 PM

#

you mean in the config? no it's defined alongside the main turret

hearty sandal Jan 31, 2021, 6:03 PM

#

in the config

#

I believe that is the problem

rough hatch Jan 31, 2021, 6:05 PM

#

so you mean try making it a sub-turret of the main turret? like you would with a commander seat?

hearty sandal Jan 31, 2021, 6:05 PM

#

yes

rough hatch Jan 31, 2021, 6:05 PM

#

alright, I'll try that

hearty sandal Jan 31, 2021, 6:06 PM

#

that way it inherits the main turrets movement

strange egret Jan 31, 2021, 6:08 PM

#

in config and in model.cfg, mind

rough hatch Jan 31, 2021, 6:19 PM

#

that didn't seem to help, the assistant gunner's regular view is still locked forward

#

I have a MainTurret that controls everything, then that has sub-classes for CommanderOptics and the CoGunner

#

and the CoGunner's freelook does not follow the turret

#

oh wait nevermind

#

my problem is that before I had some other issue with the assistant gunner camera not working right so I had put a dummy weapon on him, but that seems to actually have been causing that issue

#

I made him have no weapon and now it's just fine

#

follows the turret and all

#

then one other thing: how do I make a turret seat default to freelook? now it defaults to view locked forward and you have to press the freelook key to look around

strange egret Jan 31, 2021, 6:32 PM

#

i dont think you can do that. You can only completely disable optic

whats the difference in a .inc file and a .hpp file? they look subjectively the same from me looking through the Old man versions

untold temple Jan 31, 2021, 10:41 PM

#

no difference really

#

.hpp or .h is by convention supposed to be for the header of a .cpp files where you are calling a bunch of commonly used macros/defines that will added in the header of the .cpp and referenced throughout the body of the .cpp file. And a .inc would be just general purpose includes that you have separated from the .cpp file for ease of access or readability

#

but functionally there is zero difference. You can use .hpp, .h, .inc and other extensions as you see fit with the #include preprocessor. They're all just renamed .txt files really

:L

#

alright, come back tomorrow when you have the details

upbeat valley Feb 1, 2021, 12:06 AM

#

No problem

hearty sandal Feb 1, 2021, 12:07 AM

#

for future debugging, its always easier if all possible details of a problem are provided with the issue report.

#

saves also time from the people helping when they dont have to dig for it.

#

so its also polite

😛

upbeat valley Feb 1, 2021, 12:07 AM

Is the AddonBuilder tool any use? or is it preferable to use Mikero

strong shuttle Feb 1, 2021, 12:14 AM

#

use Mikero's Tools if you want to prevent problems

upbeat valley Feb 1, 2021, 12:21 AM

#

wow im an idiot, i downloaded Makepbo, but not pboProject.

raven knot Feb 1, 2021, 12:26 AM

#

just download all of the mikero tools. you never know when you might need it

upbeat valley Feb 1, 2021, 12:28 AM

Yeah good point 🙂

#

I tried packing, im getting
'"rapify -PenW "USB\config.cpp" "P:\temp\USB\config.bin""
'rapify' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

knowing how new i am at this, its probably the simplest fix ever

yup; download and install ALL the tools from that page 😉

#

cfgModel, what is sections that we are supposed to inherit and add? is it memory point? or what? i don't get it

#

my commanderturret is not rotating i suspect it has to do something with bad model.cfg

hearty sandal Feb 1, 2021, 12:16 PM

#

sections are selections on the model that have special features like the camo selections that work with hiddenSelections system

#

if your turret does not rotate you probably dont have correct bones defined for it or correct named selections for it in the model

raven knot Feb 1, 2021, 12:21 PM

#

so important named selections is needed on the sections part right?

#

like axis?

untold temple Feb 1, 2021, 12:21 PM

#

no, you only need them for parts that change texture

raven knot Feb 1, 2021, 12:21 PM

#

anything special that is not bone

#

oh

#

i have to recheck for the 4th time now for the spellin and all but it still does not rotate.

this is what i have in my animation class

class CommanderTurret
{
type="rotationZ";
source="commanderTurret";
selection="commander_turret";
axis="commander_turret_axis";
animPeriod=0;
minValue="rad -360";
maxValue="rad +360";
angle0="rad -360";
angle1="rad +360";
};

and cfgvehicles' class turrets

body = "CommanderTurret";
animationSourceBody = "commanderTurret";

cfgskeleton on my apc base class

"commander_turret","",
"hatch_commander","commander_turret"

untold temple Feb 1, 2021, 12:23 PM

#

Some parts like muzzle flash proxies, helicopter rotors, lights etc. are also in the sections array, because they are hidden by game engine features that basically set them to have an invisible texture

raven knot Feb 1, 2021, 12:24 PM

#

i see

#

thank you for clarifying that

hearty sandal Feb 1, 2021, 1:49 PM

#

Do you check if the animations work in buldozer?

#

Body and source should not be the same

raven knot Feb 1, 2021, 1:54 PM

#

im following main turret's setting which have the same body and source name. i didnt check in buldozer. i didnt know i could check animations in buldozer

high osprey Feb 1, 2021, 3:08 PM

#

anyone know the property that controls the size of the wireframe box around a vehicle placed in the editor?

raven knot Feb 1, 2021, 3:13 PM

#

if im not mistaken the memory point is named bbox_1_1_pos, 1_2 2_1 and 2_2

high osprey Feb 1, 2021, 3:15 PM

#

so the three memory points control the h/w/d?

raven knot Feb 1, 2021, 3:18 PM

#

there is 4 there

#

but i might be wrong

#

you need to check

high osprey Feb 1, 2021, 3:18 PM

#

oh i get you

#

literally just draw a box with memory points

#

"bbox_1_2_pos", "bbox_1_1_pos", "bbox_2_1_pos", "bbox_2_2_pos"
According to https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/selectionNames

Thanks!

raven knot Feb 1, 2021, 3:24 PM

#

yeah but which one is height is width idk

high osprey Feb 1, 2021, 3:28 PM

#

Not sure, so I'm going to try the age old method of 'guess and see what happens' :/

hearty sandal Feb 1, 2021, 3:32 PM

#

bbox_x_y_pos are for defining the size of the vehicle for "vehicle in vehicle" cargo function

#

the box in editor is defined by the bounds of the model

#

so all lods combined and box that envelopes all of them

high osprey Feb 1, 2021, 3:35 PM

#

hm

#

oh I guess that makes sense. The box doesn't fit at the moment because the 'model' is \A3\Weapons_F\DummyItemHorizontal.p3d which has a fixed bounding box

#

Guess i need to find a smaller container to inherit from

hearty sandal Feb 1, 2021, 3:40 PM

#

?

#

what are you doing @high osprey

high osprey Feb 1, 2021, 3:41 PM

#

So i have a 'vehicle' which is a dummy container with a launcher in it right?
So that in editor you can just place the launcher on the ground

But i used DummyItemHorizontal so the bounding box was way bigger than the item

#

So now I'm going to change the model out for model = "\A3\Weapons_F\DummyLauncher_Single.p3d"; and hopefully that will fit better

hearty sandal Feb 1, 2021, 3:42 PM

#

well it will always be

#

because the dummy item contains a proxy

#

the bb in editor does not matter at all

high osprey Feb 1, 2021, 3:42 PM

#

i just wanted it look neater :<

hearty sandal Feb 1, 2021, 3:43 PM

ohh thats what its for, i thought its the editor's bounding box

#

anyway, how does one check animation in buldozer?

hearty sandal Feb 1, 2021, 5:17 PM

#

middle mouse click changes animation source, wheel the animation phase

#

there are also keyboard equivalents you can check from dozer key list

raven knot Feb 1, 2021, 5:19 PM

#

i cannot see, my texture does not shows up

#

but it does rotate

#

maybe its has to do with my commander being able to freelook without holding alt button?

hearty sandal Feb 1, 2021, 5:33 PM

#

possibly

#

that likely disables turret control

raven knot Feb 1, 2021, 5:36 PM

#

but even it optics, i cant control the turret

#

my main turret is working fine

hearty sandal Feb 1, 2021, 5:36 PM

#

check for typos

raven knot Feb 1, 2021, 5:37 PM

#

maybe because my 2nd turret missing something that mainturret inherits

hearty sandal Feb 1, 2021, 5:37 PM

#

do you inherit form newTurret for your 2nd one?

raven knot Feb 1, 2021, 5:37 PM

#

yes

#

should be the same right?

hearty sandal Feb 1, 2021, 5:38 PM

#

ye

raven knot Feb 1, 2021, 5:39 PM

#

hmm

#

i gotta read through and see what is missing.

raven knot Feb 1, 2021, 6:19 PM

#

okay solved it. i need turretFollowFreeLook = 2; for weaponless turret

stoic lily Feb 1, 2021, 6:23 PM

#

what dose it do exactly?

raven knot Feb 1, 2021, 6:24 PM

#

If 1, turret is slaved to the gunners viewdirection in freelook. When values is set to 2, it is possible to control turret on weaponless turrets. Value 1 is used in Attack Helicopters for example.

stoic lily Feb 1, 2021, 6:25 PM

#

so for commander positions without MGs for example?

raven knot Feb 1, 2021, 6:25 PM

#

yes

#

my commander hatch is rotatable and has no weapon

stoic lily Feb 1, 2021, 6:25 PM

#

what about smoke?

#

or operated by the gunner in your case, or none available?

raven knot Feb 1, 2021, 6:27 PM

#

i dont know, maybe countermeasure does not count as a weapon

#

smoke is working fine

#

by the commander

#

which is the 2nd turret's gunner

rough hatch Feb 1, 2021, 10:09 PM

#

is setting up a static object, like a building to switch to a wrecked model after being destroyed different from doing it on a vehicle? I have a proxy in the main model wreck lod but it either just dissapears when destroyed or stays on the same regular model

hearty sandal Feb 1, 2021, 10:10 PM

#

yes its made through config

rough hatch Feb 1, 2021, 10:11 PM

#

like with a class DestructionEffects?

hearty sandal Feb 1, 2021, 10:11 PM

#

yes

rough hatch Feb 1, 2021, 10:13 PM

#

I have a Ruin1 class in there with simulation "ruin" and type pointing to the wreck model path

#

that didn't seem to work

#

are there any examples out there?

#

oh the samples has one, duh

#

well my config seems to be done the same as the sample but it still just stays as the regular model

#

does there need to be something very specific in the main or wreck model for it to work?

#

now I've got it so it doesn't stay behind, but now it just goes down through the ground but no wreck appears in its place

#

even tried now to copy the destroyed building model from the samples and replace all the models in the LODs with my own and it still does not appear

hearty sandal Feb 1, 2021, 10:47 PM

#

did you change the destruction type?

#

and what is the simulation type?

raven knot Feb 2, 2021, 1:45 AM

#

so i found there a problem using turretFollowFreeLook = 2;, now it control the main gun too.

#

how can I put viper helmet thermal and night vis on normal goggles

hearty sandal Feb 2, 2021, 6:56 AM

you would need to create a new addon for that. And that would contain a config file where you create the new item with the properties you want.

sullen fulcrum Feb 2, 2021, 6:57 AM

#

I used to have a pair in basegame which is why I was wondering if its possible

#

useable anywhere

hearty sandal Feb 2, 2021, 6:57 AM

#

well then find the item in base game I suppose

#

arsenal has all of them I believe

sullen fulcrum Feb 2, 2021, 7:02 AM

#

nono it isnt that

#

It is the default nato nvg goggles, except it functions as if it was viper

#

it has full view thermal and full view nv

hearty sandal Feb 2, 2021, 7:04 AM

#

well if base game does not have one now then nothing short of a mod can add such

#

and modded items do not work on MP unless server runs the mod

rough hatch Feb 2, 2021, 7:31 AM

#

hearty sandal did you change the destruction type?

type in the destructionEffects entry points to the wreck model

#

and I didn't change simulation type so it is whatever House_F defaults to

raven knot Feb 2, 2021, 9:42 AM

#

door animation must be done through .rtm? and how do i make you can only enter "ride in back" only after the rear door has been opened?

rough hatch Feb 2, 2021, 10:09 AM

#

door animation are done in model.cfg, you can check the sample house model in the A3 samples

#

and for the ride in back, that would probably have to be scripted

Hi, I'm trying to make a skin pack mod for m16 from RHS USAF and i got a problem

#

I made a config like that:
class CfgPatches { class kb_M16A4_green { units[] = {}; weapons[] = {}; Version = 0.1; requiredVersion = 0.1; requiredAddons[] = {"A3_Characters_F_BLUFOR","A3_Weapons_F_Rifles_MX","rhsusf_weapons","rhsusf_c_weapons","rhsusf_weapons2"}; }; }; class rhs_weap_m16a4_carryhandle; class cfgWeapons { class class kb_M16A4_green : rhs_weap_m16a4_carryhandle { baseWeapon = "KB_M16A4_GREEN"; displayName = "M16A4 (green camo)"; scope = 2; hiddenSelections[] = {"camo1","camo2","camo3","camo4"}; hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = { "\custom_ar15_skins\data\m16a4_co.paa", "\rhsusf\addons\rhsusf_weapons\mag_proxies\data\pmag_black_co.paa", "\rhsusf\addons\rhsusf_weapons\m4\data\m4acc_co.paa", "\rhsusf\addons\rhsusf_weapons\m4\data\kacrailcover_co.paa" }; }; };

#

And wen trying to run Arma with my mod louded i'm getting Error which goes like that:
in config.cpp in 14 line founded 'k' insted of "{"
and i don't know wat is wrong because i can't see any 'k' in any line

#

(Sory for my bad Eanglish)

rough hatch Feb 2, 2021, 10:40 AM

#

I don't see any "k" either but you do have class twice in the weapon

#

class class kb_M16A4_green

#

that is around like 14 too

oh yeah that's probably the k from kb_M16A4_green

i have a class ramp in my animation class in model cfg to open my rear door. im not sure how to activate it. i'm reading userAction. but still thinking on how rhs made their vehicles the door need to be fully open then only you will get into the passenger slot

hearty sandal Feb 2, 2021, 5:51 PM

#

they possibly hide/unhide the passenger get in memory points

#

I think there may also be unused vehicle door functionality but off the top of my head cant say if I remember right

raven knot Feb 2, 2021, 5:57 PM

#

i see. anyway, i at least am trying to figure out how to open the rear door first

rough hatch Feb 2, 2021, 6:33 PM

#

I seem to recall there being some property for a cargo animation source

#

might be cargoDoors?

#

I think it might be array where each element is an animation source for each cargo seat

#

so if you just have like a rear door, you'd just have that be an array of a single animation source

#

I'm not sure if that's how it works but maybe try that?

add ; on L27 and delete the open brack on L28

no that L28 needs to be closed

not deleted

since its inheritnace chain

does LODDriverTurnedOut does not work with value 1? first resolution LOD, my driver keep getting to another view lod instead of reso lod

strange egret Feb 3, 2021, 5:35 PM

#

which do you get?

#

also, 0 is usually first lod

raven knot Feb 3, 2021, 5:37 PM

#

not sure, either cargo or pilot

#

it says in config viewer LODDriverTurnedOut = 1;

#

but i dont get my reso lod

strange egret Feb 3, 2021, 5:39 PM

#

do you have driver proxy in the lod you want him to appear? i assume yes, but just to be sure

raven knot Feb 3, 2021, 5:39 PM

#

but my commander and gunner dont have this problem

hot pine Feb 3, 2021, 5:39 PM

#

= 1 is treated as old, default behaviour

raven knot Feb 3, 2021, 5:39 PM

#

lemme recheck

hot pine Feb 3, 2021, 5:39 PM

#

or maybe it was 0

strange egret Feb 3, 2021, 5:39 PM

-1 was using default lod

at least thats what i gathered back when

hot pine Feb 3, 2021, 5:40 PM

I remember it was something really dumb

raven knot Feb 3, 2021, 5:40 PM

yes i do have the proxy

whats your first LOD in p3d? 0 ? or 1?

raven knot Feb 3, 2021, 5:41 PM

0

molten silo Feb 3, 2021, 5:41 PM

#

@hearty sandal yes im positvie im running my pbo. should I pack it to a seperate file and try again?

strange egret Feb 3, 2021, 5:41 PM

#

then use 0

raven knot Feb 3, 2021, 5:41 PM

#

trying 0

#

ah okay that did the job. its working now

#

thank you

#

im wondering why my commander and gunner can get the first reso lod using value 1 and driver can't

strange egret Feb 3, 2021, 5:47 PM

#

arma 🤷‍♂️ 🙃

#

you could experiment placing a red box in res LOD 1, to see if you actually see resLOD 1 or resLOD 0

raven knot Feb 3, 2021, 5:50 PM

i see.

I'm not an expert on it; but you could try to remove:

modelSides[] = {6};
allowedSlots[] = {801, 901, 701, 605};
``` from the configs, and see if that causes any issues.

I know what they do and they look OK, but I also noticed that using one wrong value can make them unusable...

molten silo Feb 3, 2021, 7:01 PM

#

So I got it working finally but the only issue is my ace interaction is not there at all

strong shuttle Feb 3, 2021, 7:01 PM

#

btw... those ACE interactions won't work either...

classnames in conditions and statements don't match the classname you use in CfgWeapons
the folded variants have a scope of 0, this also sounds wrong (since they can't be used)

molten silo Feb 3, 2021, 7:02 PM

#

for the folded I dont want them in arsenal I just want it used through interaction.. so using it that way couldnt I keep it on 0

strong shuttle Feb 3, 2021, 7:03 PM

#

scope = 1;
scopeArsenal = 0;

#

otherwise you can't access them at all

#

Did you read the wiki at all? Because half of the stuff is explained on there, and the other half doesn't make sense unless you know what you're doing...

Can someone point out the error in this config?
I have init.sqf in the same directory at config.cpp.
init.sqf contains a simple while loop which outputs "Hello world".
According to the report file, the mod is being loaded in by the launcher but I don't think init.sqf is being loaded because nothing is happening.
Note that myAddon is just a temporary class name whilst I try and figure out how addons work.

The config part is the easy part, next to making it a mod.
However the part to make a 3D model into a proper P3D file is the "hard" part, as in; easy when you have the workflow, hard when you don't know how. Luckily are there some good tutorials and tools available on how to do that, which can be found in #arma3_model
Of course, it can get very complicated (vehicles etc.), but starting with something simple is always better to get used to all of it.

hearty sandal Feb 3, 2021, 7:21 PM

@little phoenix what do you mean outdated? most of the methods are still valid even from earlier Arma titles

strong shuttle Feb 3, 2021, 7:22 PM

#

tardy tiger ```cpp class CfgPatches { class myAddon { units[] = {}; ...

change to

class Extended_PostInit_EventHandlers
{
    init = "myAddon_Post_Init_Var = [] execVM 'init.sqf'";

or

The second method didn't work either.

Are there any other methods? I'd like init.sqf to run after mission start.

strong shuttle Feb 3, 2021, 7:29 PM

#

like I said; I only know how it works with CBA XEH: https://github.com/CBATeam/CBA_A3/wiki/Extended-Event-Handlers-(new)

#

alternative you can use https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Functions_Library#Attributes (postInit)

slim halo Feb 3, 2021, 7:31 PM

#

tardy tiger The second method didn't work either.

that's because your mod requirements are incorrect:

requiredAddons[] = {"CBA_Extended_EventHandlers"};

#

the second method that @strong shuttle posted was correct

#

also make sure the path to init is correct

strong shuttle Feb 3, 2021, 7:33 PM

#

if CBA is used; otherwise running it though CfgFunctions is the better alternative

tardy tiger Feb 3, 2021, 7:33 PM

#

slim halo also make sure the path to init is correct

init.sqf is in the same directory as config.cpp

slim halo Feb 3, 2021, 7:33 PM

yeah just use CfgFunctions

slim halo Feb 3, 2021, 7:34 PM

I changed it to this and it still somehow didn't work. I'll try CfgFunctions.

I expected %ROOT% to be game root

it does not see your folders

tardy tiger Feb 3, 2021, 8:07 PM

I expect you to have P drive and the tools and development environment set up

tardy tiger Feb 3, 2021, 8:08 PM

my init.sqf is inside addons which is inside @MyAddon

tardy tiger Feb 3, 2021, 8:10 PM

a

#

what is the benefit of a P drive though

#

i have arma 3 tools

hearty sandal Feb 3, 2021, 8:10 PM

#

it represents the root of the game engine

#

when you create folder structure there and pack that into pbo

#

the structure stays the same

#

you can look up this discords history for tips on setting that stuff up

#

PMCwiki and/or ArmaDocs tutorials have guidance too (though they are more terrain building directed the tools isntall is the same)

#

you can make addons without it too if you know what to do

#

but I dont know much about that and the tools are designed for use with P drive

tardy tiger Feb 3, 2021, 8:39 PM

#

ok i'll get a P drive setup

slim halo Feb 3, 2021, 8:41 PM

#

tardy tiger ```cpp class CfgFunctions { class myTag { class myCategory ...

no it's all wrong
first of all, you didn't even bother to change the my... stuff?
second of all, the path is wrong (it should be defined inside myFunction class as "MyAddon\init.sqf"")
third of all, it seems you didn't even pack the mod, so you have to use P drive (and -filePatching must be on, but I've never done it so not sure if it works)

tardy tiger Feb 3, 2021, 10:53 PM

I have now got the P drive setup. It's showing me the game engine root.

tardy tiger Feb 3, 2021, 11:31 PM

#

I'm still confused on how the file path works. afaik, the file path should point to the .pbo which is somehow in the game root

#

Does the pbo get moved and extracted to the game root upon loading?

opal crater Feb 3, 2021, 11:32 PM

#

P:\z\afft\addons\main
translates to
\z\afft\addons\main

#

for the game.

strong shuttle Feb 3, 2021, 11:32 PM

#

when doing it properly, the root will exactly the same as the path on your P drive

opal crater Feb 3, 2021, 11:32 PM

#

Does not matter where the pbo is on the drive.

tardy tiger Feb 3, 2021, 11:36 PM

#

How do I use my P drive to help me?

#

The base folders include a3 and dll. Is that correct?

#

And I've also got buldozer_x64.exe

opal crater Feb 3, 2021, 11:39 PM

#

You develop your addon on p drive

tardy tiger Feb 3, 2021, 11:39 PM

#

Ok I've put my addon on the P:\ directory now

#

Should mod.cpp and config.cpp go inside the addons folder or outside?

opal crater Feb 3, 2021, 11:42 PM

#

\yourTag\yourModName\addons\yourPboName\config.cpp

#

At least when using CBA/ACE conventions.

#

could be shortened to:
\yourModName\addons\yourPboName\config.cpp

#

or
\yourModName\yourPboName\config.cpp

tardy tiger Feb 3, 2021, 11:44 PM

#

And then where do I point the Arma 3 packaging tool? To yourModName or addons?

opal crater Feb 3, 2021, 11:44 PM

#

to start of the path. P:\something

#

at least when you're using pboProject

tardy tiger Feb 3, 2021, 11:45 PM

#

opal crater or `\yourModName\yourPboName\config.cpp`

and yourModName should have an @ in front of it right?

#

and hence so should the pbo once packaged?

opal crater Feb 3, 2021, 11:45 PM

#

no

tardy tiger Feb 3, 2021, 11:45 PM

#

why do all the folders in !Workshop have that

opal crater Feb 3, 2021, 11:46 PM

#

Because in it's the name of the folder which contains the mod.

#

It's not related to packing at all.

#

If anything it's related to output folder where you pack TO

tardy tiger Feb 3, 2021, 11:47 PM

#

oh

#

Should the output box of the packaging tool be addons?

opal crater Feb 3, 2021, 11:48 PM

#

no

#

P:/@my_addon_name
P:/whatever_my_addon_name

tardy tiger Feb 3, 2021, 11:50 PM

#

should I binarize or no

opal crater Feb 3, 2021, 11:51 PM

#

You should, otherwise arma will have to do it every time it starts.

#

And this slows down the game startup a LOT

tardy tiger Feb 4, 2021, 12:08 AM

#

It still isn't retrieving the file. I'll show you the directory structure and config.cpp.

#

config.cpp:

    };
};

                recompile = 1;
            };
        };

(Yes, I haven't changed the class names still but I just want to get the files themselves working before I do that.)

so having trouble. I'm trying to access shared resources (like music) from my campaign's WIP folder while in a particular mission in the editor. I have tried both making CfgMusic at the campaign level, and a CfgMusic that references the files using ..\. My VSC seems to find the files and doesn't error in both description files, but nothing will happen when called while testing in the editor environment.

#

i guess I just need help setting up shared resources that work while in the editor testing instead of having to pack the whole campaign fully then running it from the campaign folder in arma root.

hearty sandal Feb 4, 2021, 1:53 AM

shared resouce? as in a pbo?

raven knot Feb 4, 2021, 1:57 AM

but i think he didn't use pbo, just userdir folder

my folder setup is just open folders in missions atm...


\missions\allthemissionshere

and say I'm on mission 02, i can't seem to access the campaign's root folders for music and stuff, even through different types of configs I've rewritten

hearty sandal Feb 4, 2021, 2:13 AM

you sure cfgMusic can be defined in a campaign?

pallid sierra Feb 4, 2021, 2:13 AM

#

what i've been doing is just taking the classes, then adding them with includes on each individual campaign description

#

using #include ../../configs/musicclasses

#

But then the music classes have to point outside of the root mission folder too so that's a problem

raven knot Feb 4, 2021, 2:39 AM

why not make a pbo for your shared resources? and access from that pbo?

... just make the placeholders xD

Hello everyone, I've got some scripting experience on arma3 but am totally new to the config.cpp stuff. However it seems that there's no scripting alternative for adding in custom markers that are multiplayer compatible so I found my way here to ask what would be the method of doing so. I'd love to get some links that explain how it works and perhaps a couple beginner hints.

Ask if you can help me, I am looking for a way to make the loading screens and menu of my mod always load and not of the other mods, is there any way to put it priority?

sullen fulcrum Feb 5, 2021, 10:01 PM

#

So I have added insignias to the config, but I get an error whenever I place my units down. The insignia shows up but the unitRandomisation.sqf throws an error which refers to unitRandomisation.sqf thus only the insignia shows up without any randomisation (random facewear, helmet,vest). I have tried for several days, and I just cannot find anything to fix this. I would be very thanful for some advice.

#

I can send a section of the config code related to this if requested.

wintry tartan You wanted to make something more than a puzzle piece?

I am making a new main menu changing the background and removing the spotlights but when using other mods I have a mod that is always stepping on what I declare, so they have a text above the mods loaded that is not in the image because in a moment I managed to step on the image and followed the text

wintry tartan Feb 6, 2021, 5:53 AM

covert pasture Feb 6, 2021, 5:58 AM

yes

wintry tartan Feb 6, 2021, 5:59 AM

#

Then you need to do: Go to Config Viewer, Check RscDisplayMain (IIRC) and check what MOD does declare the string. If you found it, use delete command in your config so it can be removed, plus you need to declare the MOD in requiredAddons[]

covert pasture Feb 6, 2021, 6:00 AM

yeah but there i have a problem because the mod is obfuscate and i cant get the info

Yes and No. Not by config but mission

brazen merlin Feb 6, 2021, 10:15 AM

#

not sure if this is really a config question, but .... is i possible to replace the map icons that get added by buildings? for example gas station, church, etc

#

i would like to change the icons, but i only want to change them in my terrain

wintry tartan Feb 6, 2021, 10:19 AM

#

It's rather GUI thing. IIRC it's possible to change it on the Map GUI, but not sure there's posibility to do it only in a certain map. Maybe duplicate Map GUI and show/hide only for the map?

brazen merlin Feb 6, 2021, 10:19 AM

#

can i add my own? i'm reading up on https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Map_Symbols right now, but it doesn't explicitly say it

#

note: i am using custom buildings, so i can easily change the map property in the model

#

hm. config looks good. seems i should just try and see what happens

stoic lily Feb 6, 2021, 10:28 AM

the boxes you cant

brazen merlin Feb 6, 2021, 10:29 AM

#

hardcoded?

stoic lily Feb 6, 2021, 10:40 AM

#

yep. unless you can convince Dedmen otherwise 😉

#

probably too difficult to change tho as these are baked into the wrp during binarization

#

so making it dynamic as with the map symbols is probably not that simple

brazen merlin Feb 6, 2021, 10:43 AM

#

stoic lily yep. unless you can convince Dedmen otherwise 😉

too scared to try again

#

what about the class name stuff? can we add icons like that manually, independent of buildings?

#

for examples the hills show up as icons on the map

#

" New types may be added provided they are defined in game/addon configuration." hmm

winter rain Feb 6, 2021, 11:00 AM

this was about location names

brazen merlin Feb 6, 2021, 11:03 AM

ok, location names is not a good alternative, as these icons are visible at (almost) all times

yes

brazen merlin Feb 6, 2021, 11:47 AM

how?

grand zinc Feb 6, 2021, 11:47 AM

#

Look at CfgMarkers

#

find the correct classname for it

#

well it will be a map marker. that gets bigger when you zoom out

#

but..

#

its the symbol ¯_(ツ)_/¯

brazen merlin Feb 6, 2021, 11:47 AM

#

sure, but that's not what i wanted to do :p

grand zinc Feb 6, 2021, 11:47 AM

ah you wrote replace

#

not place

brazen merlin Feb 6, 2021, 11:47 AM

#

i already added it as markers

grand zinc Feb 6, 2021, 11:47 AM

#

Dedmen can read (sometimes)

#

I think they are Locations right?

brazen merlin Feb 6, 2021, 11:48 AM

#

as kju said, it apparently gets baked into the wrp based on model parameter

grand zinc Feb 6, 2021, 11:49 AM

#

Yeah they do. But not sure how engine processes these think

brazen merlin Feb 6, 2021, 11:49 AM

#

takes the icon config from class RscMapControl then

grand zinc Feb 6, 2021, 11:49 AM

#

Aww

brazen merlin Feb 6, 2021, 11:49 AM

#

so basically it seems like these icons are somewhere hardcoded and it won't detect new ones. dunno.

slim halo Feb 6, 2021, 11:52 PM

#

@sullen fulcrum
Also I see 3 issues with your sqf code:

Using sleep and waitUntil in unscheduled environment (MPRespawn EH)
This part is wrong:

[_this, 'USP_PATCH_IRN_ARMY_GROUND_FORCES'] call BIS_fnc_setUnitInsignia call CFP_main_fnc_randomizeUnit;

This loop may never terminate:

waituntil {sleep 0.2; backpack _this == _backpack};

and a suggestion: for robustness, use params not something like _this = _this select 0

sullen fulcrum Feb 6, 2021, 11:53 PM

#

Whenever I add this line of the code to the init config, it throws this error; the insignia shows put the randomisation script not.

#

Hold on uploading error

grand zinc Feb 6, 2021, 11:53 PM

#

yes.

#

makes sense that the randomziation script doesn't work because as Leo said, that script line is definitely wrong

#

wrong arguments to the randomizeUnit function

sullen fulcrum Feb 6, 2021, 11:54 PM

lol I don't even know what language it is. Brackets put it into C++ automatic

#

let me try that out

by the way, everything I do in CfgVehicles you have to redo in config.bin right? Atleast what I have been doing since It looks CFP does it that way.

config.bin is generated from config.cpp

https://sqfbin.com/becofuhizekewifotine so I was just finishing up my vests trying to do hidden selections and for some reason not all of my selections actually work (mag_pouch , dump_pouch , tomgroup_03, and holster) did I do something wrong in the config?

wintry tartan Feb 7, 2021, 9:30 AM

#

First: Inherit is always your friend, no need to write the same config all over the place

molten silo Feb 7, 2021, 9:32 AM

#

but so far how do the hidden selections look?

#

bc for some reason the names lod above do not change even though I have file paths for them

wintry tartan Feb 7, 2021, 9:33 AM

#

If some of them don't work, I assume it's model side

molten silo Feb 7, 2021, 9:33 AM

#

any common issues?

wintry tartan Feb 7, 2021, 9:34 AM

#

Simply didn't defined the selection? I don't looked to the model so IDK

would it help if I send Screenshots of my lod?

No it doesn't. Make sure they define those polygons for sure, double check time

molten silo Feb 7, 2021, 9:43 AM

#

ok so the only ones that work are camo one and camo 2

#

no clue what i did wrong

#

I deleted the LOD and redefined them with the same names

#

didnt work

hearty sandal Feb 7, 2021, 1:34 PM

#

Why do you have that many separated selections? And are they also part of the camo selections?

#

Mesh can have only 1 hiddenselection. If you have overlapping selections it will break

@stark ibex use pastebin.com to paste your config instead of here. makes it easier to read

#

and then put the link here

#

also have you used the sample cars config as example?

stark ibex Feb 8, 2021, 12:34 AM

#

I've tried many things. This car is in a pack of many who all use a general base class that works fine. This one just seems to be the odd one out for no reason. I've used the example config, I used what it originally inherited it from, replaced it with setting from another car. It just doesn't make any sense

hearty sandal Feb 8, 2021, 1:33 AM

#

pack of cars does not sound promising

#

if you have no control over the model then its quite pointless try to figure out the physx

as a lot of things alos rely on the model to be done right to work right

molten silo Feb 8, 2021, 5:16 AM

hearty sandal Mesh can have only 1 hiddenselection. If you have overlapping selections it will...

all my selections are defined to specific areas and are not overlapping in any way. i have so many bc there is different pouches and things that have different camos on my vest

#

if in each selection every face has the same texture shouldn’t they work as intended?

hearty sandal Feb 8, 2021, 5:26 AM

yes, the overlapping hiddenselections is what breaks it

like having camo or camo2 in all of them

there are eventhandlers for it though I think

so by access you mean what?

like maybe when turning out, also animate an object like raising the driver's seat something like that

you can try scripting command to move in more crew. But if seats are not available then it likely is not build correctly and you should contact the mod maker to fix it

it has the seats, it just fill what seats are left with the OG crew

@regal jacinth the crew setup is in there somewhere and you need to match it to change it.

nothing else can be done
