you have a broken mod
you will need to get the mod maker to fix it
or not use that mod
hearty sandal
well looks like you dont have a magazine of that classname in your configs
so you may have a typo somewhere
or that magazines config is not complete
maybe do faulty inheritance
or faulty placement in cfgMagazines
or missing { or }; somewhere
basically it means this magazine class has errors in it

hearty sandal
can you connect the dots
magazine != ammo
cfgMagazines and cfgAmmo are 2 different things
they connect only in here ammo="Poseidon_300Blackout_Ball";
hearty sandal
check out vanilla magazine class and compare it to yours and add the missing things
like the library class your error points to

Could some one slip me a config that works for thrown weapons please.
Preferable for a frag grenade too.

Is there any tutorial/writeup to building a new explosive?
strange egret
most likely not. But if you know how to make a new weapon with new magazine and new ammo then you can apply that knowledge to make a new explosive too

Where would i go to write a custom namelist for a faction so i can set it in IdentityTypes[]?
kindred viper
Had this issue before but no solution was found, dealing with it again
Weapon double-fires on semi-auto when only click to shoot once
reloadTime = 0.0857142857; set to both Single and FullAuto. Original was (NIArms RK 62) 0.085. Setting it back to that still has the same issue. Tried setting the rof really low (0.2) - still same issue persists
strange egret
what makes you sure you fire twice?
kindred viper
There are -2 bullets instead of -1
strange egret
are ther also 2 impacts?
strange egret
can you post full config?
kindred viper
yes, will do soon
strange egret
you can make shots reduce by 2 or more per each bullet fired (used on miniguns to make it look like it fires a lot, but it actually doesnt) - but thats evidently not the case.
so either your single firemode inherits a burst=2 or so. Or there is some eventhandler script that you are inheriting.

Set reportRemoteTargets and reportOwnPosition to 1 in the unit's config.
You can enable Data Link for infantry units using handheld designators in the editor by the way by using the Data Link attributes.
No need for config.

@marble flame "Throw" is a generic weapon that uses all the hand grenades as its ammo, you would need a cfgmagazine and cfgammo class and then add those to the cfgweapons class throw weapon
untold temple
@hot pine are the BI throw and put weapons set up with a magazinewell now?
hot pine
no, it wouldn't work anyway since grenades are configured as muzzles, not magazines
you usually want to cycle through variant types of grenades
untold temple
Oh yeah!
So @marble flame setup if you want your grenade to by cyclable with ctrl+G rather than only loaded via action menu is to use += operator on the throw weapon's muzzles[] array, and define your custom grenade's mag as the magazine for that muzzle
class cfgWeapons
class GrenadeLauncher;
class Throw: GrenadeLauncher
{
muzzles[] += {
mygrenade_Throw
};
class ThrowMuzzle: GrenadeLauncher {};
class mygrenade_Throw: ThrowMuzzle
{
magazines[] =
{
"mygrenade_Mag"
};
};
};

I've got a scope that doesn't zero properly to different defined ranges. I didn't make it, so all I can do is a compat that fixes it, what would be the cause of this issue?
Basically it shoots at the place regardless if it's zeroed at 300m or 1300m

does it have discreteDistanceCameraPoint[] defined
as that will disable the engine zeroing

currently having an issue with a missile overshooting the target in Top-Down mod...
vanilla or mod?
ruby horizon
vanilla, i use vanilla configs. I might try disable ace, but i doubt ace is doing something to missile charackteristics to make it overshoot
yeh i am doing a mod and the modded missile is overshooting sadly.
ok lol i figured it out, so i had a secondary modeloptics[]= in the Opticsmode, because primary weapons use it and these optics apperently have 100-300+ base zeroing, which u can't change in the missile launcher. Just deleted it and it works
kindred viper
as that will disable the engine zeroing
Doesn't look like it does
and it inherits from ItemCore and InventoryOpticsItem_Base_F, so assume it's not inheriting that either

Do you have the zeroing distances defined?

does subItems work for weapons though?

Well items (headgear) are also "weapons"
But for actual rifle weapons, I thought it doesn't

But they still crash the game 😄

that reminds me - last year i asked if weapons can have a flashlight built into them (without extra attachment). back then the general consensus was that no, probably not possible. however, as it turned out, it is indeed possible, as there is a hidden weapon (ak with flashlight) in the apex dlc that does just that :>
hearty sandal
👍
hot pine
well, R3vo was partially right back then - Vermin HAD integrated flashlight till someone from decided to make it as an accessory (so you can detach it)
brazen merlin
damnit. lies and deception.

it was changed in 2017
brazen merlin
weird change. it's like removing a unique element from the gun
and it's not like you can attach something else instead

submunition question: i want to do a "pseudo topdown" rocket working the following: illustrated: /\ . I shot it up in the air, after 3 seconds it triggers and the submunition flies with an 45 angle down to ground. What SubmunitionConeType[] and SubmunitionConeAngle should i use. The wiki is not very clear with it. Right now i have the following config:
submunitionInitSpeed=1000;
submunitionParentSpeedCoef=0;
submunitionInitialOffset[]={0,0,0};
submunitionConeAngle=315;
triggerOnImpact=0;
triggerTime=3;
deleteParentWhenTriggered=1;
take a look at PCML config - it has overhead top down attack (EFP)
ruby horizon
isn't the PCML using SubmunitionTargetDirection, and this way it can lead on the target. Not having the config at hand rn. But since i am not having a direct/locked target. I probably can't use that parameter. But'll try
hot pine
submunitionConeAngle[] = {0, 4};
submunitionConeAngleHorizontal = 720;
submunitionAutoleveling = 1;
submunitionConeType[] = {"randomupcone", 1};``` you can try modyfing this one (this goes up between 0 & 4 degrees). Maybe it's working with negative values toootherwise you could have to use custom cone - I haven't used it in before so you will probably have to figure it out on your own

Hello, I'm trying to add an RWR to the MH-6 but it does not appear to be taking. My sensor panel works entirely as intended otherwise
left pond
Hey guys, not sure if this is the right channel at all, so please be kind.
I'm making a vehicle mod and I'm trying to change the vehicles max reverse speed, because it doesn't match the real life vehicle. I'm using complexGearbox but I can't figure out how to set it. I tried everything regarding engine rpm, torque, gear ratios and nothing seems to work. There is nothing mentioned about reverse speed in any of the documentations from BI, so I'm hoping some of you guys might know.
winter rain
@left pond as far as I know, its in the gearbox, you can see R1 D1 D2 etc. There is also other stuff you have to check.
R1 is reverse, all D's are drive forward.
The numbers have something to do with the speed, so you have to play around with the R number.
Also other stuff is mass in the model defined, and in the config the wheel specs. But let them be vanilla for first.
Just copy the line with R1 D1 D2 etc and paste them and set 2 // in front of it so its inactive and original and change the other wich is active and try out with the R numbers.
What I think is, as example with the D's is like in real, the max speed with each gear.. so with D1 as example 30km/h, D2 45km/h D3 60km/h
But the numbers are weird with 2.3 or 1.6 etc, just play around with the R number.
Dont know if there is a tutorial about it.
left pond
Yeah, that's what I tried already, but for the R1 gear it didn't change the max speed, just the acceleration. I don't want to change the mass right now, because I like the way it handles so far.
I tried setting it to the same value that D1 has, but it drives faster in D1 than R1 for some reason.
winter rain
You've tried to add a R2?
left pond
Nope, documentation says, you can only set one gear for R and N
winter rain
Yeah true, mixed it with my hover mlrs i did 😂
You said you used same value as D1 for R1, you also added a - at front of it? So its negative value?
left pond
Yeah, I did.
winter rain
You also played around with the R number, did it small and higher? Like -2.1 and -15.6 as example to notice any difference?
left pond
Yes, but the only difference I could notice was the acceleration.
winter rain
Ok have you also played around with
TransmissionRatios[] = { "High",4.111 };
TransmissionRatios[] is an array of remaining drivetrain ratios in the same format as gearboxRatios. Most of cars have only one final drive, some heavy trucks may have a double reduction gear . The final ratio is then gearboxRatio * TransmissionRatio, that means transmissionRatios shouldn't be multiplicates of each other and gearbox ratios to prevent the same final ratio for two different gears.
Noticed some has as example 15, or 18, example here has 4.111, maybe this has also some input to the gears
left pond
Yes, I've tried that too and it affected D gears as it should, but not R1.
winter rain
@left pond
Maybe this could help
Found it right now while googling 😂
EPEVehicle - displays gearbox, friction, thrust, brake and various parameters of a PhysX vehicle
left pond
Thanks, hopefully it'll get me some more info.
left pond
Alright, it further confirms my observations, playing around with different values changes some things, but reverse doesn't change. I increased enginePower, peakTorque, redRpm and maxOmega as well as the torque Curve for testing, this gave me more top speed in D6 and faster acceleration as it should, but R1 speed remains unchanged. I have no idea, how A3 calculates it but there has to be something I'm missing. Especially the higher engine rpm should directly impact speed, but no luck so far.
hearty sandal
There may be a parameter for reverse coefficiency
Though don't quote me on that. Just a faint recollection that there could be such a thing
left pond
There isn't. If it were, I would have found it by now, been looking through every single bit of documentation I could find for hours and hours xD
left pond
I haven't, but I guess it wouldn't help much, because it shouldn't have anything to do with the physx.hpp in the addon pbo

@hearty sandal sorry to @ you but I'm having issues with UVanimations and saw that you were doing something similar to me (and had similar issues..) in a discord search awhile back and was wondering how you resolved it?
I'm trying to use time animationSource for running water and the texture just refuses to move.
config side:
class UVAnimations
{
// You can name it whatever you like since it is not working with animationPhase or animate command
class FallingWater
{
// For now, it is only supported type of animation
type = translation;
// name of source, either custom one, defined in AnimationSources class or regular model.cfg source
// It can be animated with animateSource & value can be retrieved via animationSourcePhase
source = "time";
sourceAddress = loop;
// section name from model.cfg sections[] array
section = "waterFall";
minValue = 0;
maxValue = 1;
// Transformation of UV coordinates
offset0[] = {0,0};
offset1[] = {0,1};
};
};
class AnimationSources
{
class waterFallSource
{
source = time;
animPeriod = 1;
initPhase = 0;
};
};
model cfg
class cfgSkeletons
{
class default;
class ww2_fountain: default
{
skeletonInherit = "";
skeletonBones[] =
{
"waterFall",""
};
};
};
class cfgModels
{
class default;
class ww2_fountain: default
{
skeletonName="ww2_fountain";
sectionsInherit="";
sections[]={"waterFall"};
class Animations
{
class waterFallSource
{
type = rotation;
source = "waterFallSource";
selection = "waterFall";
axis = "waterFall_Axis";
sourceAddress = "loop";
minValue = 0;
maxValue = 1;
angle0 = 0;
angle1 = 0;
};
};
};
};
just noticed my uvanimation source is incorrect there but changing it to
source = "waterFallSource";
didn't help either..
and ofcourse it works now ..
I was using an object that was placed on a map and it doesn't seem to get the animationsource
hot pine
class AnimationSources
{
class waterFallSource
{
source = time;
animPeriod = 1;
initPhase = 0;
};
};``` that is also wrong, source = time doesn't exist in this context. All unknown sources are converted to... time source though 😄ah, explains why it worked, even though it shouldn't
hearty sandal
Do you also have a model. Cfg for the P3d? You will need that and a "fake animation class" to initialize the animation source
Oh you had it
👍 👍

do these kind of time/clock uvanimations work in multiplayer?
I know atleast wheel sources defined in the config do not work for non-local vehicles
hearty sandal
they should work as far as I know 🤔

how do you have it set up?
I mean sure some animation sources dont seem to sync right
but wheel has been pretty stable

class Track_L_source {source = "wheel"; wheel = "Wheel_1_5";};
class Track_R_source {source = "wheel"; wheel = "Wheel_2_5";};
};
class UVAnimations // New tracks anims from A3 1.84
{
class Track_L
{
type = "translation";
source = "Track_L_source";
sourceAddress = "loop";
section = "pasoffsetl";
minValue = 0;
maxValue = 1;
offset0[] = {0,0};
offset1[] = {0,-2};
};
class Track_R: Track_L
{
source = "Track_R_source";
section = "pasoffsetp";
};
};

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gHNuJICGa0 was a video we got as a bug report for it you can see the front wheel that uses 'wheel' source in model cfg works fine but the rear wheels and tracks, which use AnimationSources in the config, don't
but yeah I tried changing the uvanimation to use 'wheel' or like 'wheel_1_1' but no dice didnt work at all then

hardy elm
Hey guys, I had an idea but am not sure where to look Cfg-wise. The plan is to have a regular/IR/NV camera/sight on the Caesar BTT plane controllable by the copilot for ground reconnnaisance (not an actual gun). Would something like that have to be implemented as a turret? 🤔
untold temple
For a copilot, yes it would have to be a turret
hardy elm
Thanks. Guess I'll take a closer look at https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Turret_Config_Reference then 🙂
So implementation for the pilot would be different?
untold temple
Yes, pilotcamera only needs a single memory point to reference in the model. I am not certain you will be able to add a turret without access to the model to add animations to turn the camera
hardy elm
yeah... the model would need to be untouched i guess. So no actual camera would be visible on the hull or anything.
an invisible turret so to say... would that be a problem?
untold temple
Well typically turrets have camera memory points that are rotated as part of the model structure via animation. The memory points aren't visible, but none the less they undergo transformations from the turret travese and elevation inputs the same way as the visible parts of the turret model would
hardy elm
yeah, it's probably more difficult than i imagined. the pilotcamera thing is kinda cool as well though, hadn't thought about that - maybe it'll do.

Hi all, just a quick one.

I can't find much mention of it online / on the wiki so sorry for bothering you all. Thanks

the basics are the same... the whole attachement and item stuff is obviously not used on vehicles

sights/optics stuff in weapon class is not used on vehicles either
somber meadow

you will need to change the weapon type (or something, i dont have it in my head) to be that of simulation (all vehicle weapons use it)

on topic of reloading & vehicles - is there a way to play rtm animations for vehicle crew?
I want to have AI capable handweapon deployment points (so AI can use small firing ports in bunkers and wall sections). My plan was to use vehicle turret, where the soldier has his normal rifle as proxy. Arm animations can be faked by moving IK points (not the hand gesture/shape though). The reload is the tricky bit though. I was thinking maybe swap them to go into FFV to reload, then go back to the normal turret. It seems like a bit of a headache though...
hot pine
switchMove is your friend
otherwise maybe making some custom FFV animation could be a solution
with custom pivot point
something similar to deployment system
strange egret
you can change pivot? I was under impression upper budy movement is slaved to lower body (which is static) in turret
hot pine
I'm not sure but intuition tells me it should be possible with plenty of tinkering
strange egret
something similar to deployment system
"exactly like deployment system" would be the goal, but idk how that works from animation/game simulation level. are there even usable bits in config that could be pieced together, or is that all 'in engine'?
strange egret
Any reason why lazy evaluation is not used in vanilla config definitions for UserAction conditions?

Maybe not quite what you are looking for but check out Mike's Scimitar II, it uses 6 round Rarden Cannon bursts with 'r' to reload between each burst
hearty sandal
6 round magazine with 6 round burst at X fire rate
and then reloading new magazine is the cooldown

Does thickness of say a vest, uniform, and so forth effect how much damage a soldier will take from a shot?
My test has female unit and a male unit, using the same skeleton and what not.
Both have 1 to 1 copy of both uniform armor and vest armor.
The damage seems fine and equal hitting the same spot in the chest looking about 20% damage total each hit.
However it seems to get results as I get closer to 50% damage on the chest hitpoint. The female will all the sudden spike to 90% on the next shot, why the male will still keep the 20% pace so will be around 60-70%.
My only guess at this point is it might be because the female model is naturally more petite that the hitpoint radius should shrink a bit?
A more simple question is what does radius actually do on vest armor? Does it just add to the uniform hitpoint?

So would shrinking the radius of the hitpoints help? My understanding is the hitpoints stick out, but it requires you to actually contact the model for damage).
strange egret
no shrinking the hitpoints wont change a thing
its purely related to if the pullet "penetrates through" or if it ends inside the body. End inside body -> 100% damage. penetrate through -> ~20% damage (even if the bullet after that immediately falls to the ground due to remaining velocity being near 0)
its a very weird system, i have reported it long ago, but there will be no change

So what does radius do in vest? Does it expand or shrink the hitpoints?
strange egret
i have no idea - but for this it doesnt matter what radius the hitpoint sphere is
undone quiver
mmm, it's just so weird that the damage seems pretty 1 to 1 tell that half-way point. I'll collect more data though and see if I can narrow it down. Some reason I feel this one those "not documented" things I'm missing.
Backup plan is increasing armor value for just females, but I really want to avoid that.
strange egret
"narrow it down"... what do you want to anrrow down? did you not read the link?
undone quiver
Yea, I did. and as far as the documentation goes, it should be 1 to 1 damage through and through.
strange egret
no
strange egret
i suggest you read the example below Case A again

I've tried changing the -B exclusion list so that .ogg files aren't excluded, but no dice thus far
undone quiver
i suggest you read the example below Case A again
Yea I get that part. It's just I don't know exactly how I could standarized the math and model to match the vanilla damage system without spending a day just collecting lots of numbers.
I would have to make a new "meat" material essentually
strange egret
yes. You could make it a plate material, so it will never exceed a certain thickness...
however, when the target is prone, facing towards you, and you shoot into the shoulder and then enters into the chest and spine area -> your meat plate version will produce less damage than vanilla male
rancid lotus
Still no luck with PBOProject so far, anyone here know it well enough to help me out? 😅
strange egret
alternative... make firegeometry thickness the same. It wouldnt match visually but .... what gives. Alternatively... dont give your female unit such large boobs, so regular male firegeo fits visually too 😛
undone quiver
lol, the extra thicc option is like plan C.

@rancid lotus do those files actually exist on your P drive in that same path

The ones from Jefet Meza we used with permission
And the Halo 3 soundtrack is permitted as per MS Game Content Usage Rules

your file names are really long and contain commas.... have you tried using shorter names and no commas?

Music might be licensed from somewhere else and might not be covered by that

Music might be licensed from somewhere else and might not be covered by that
MSGCR specifically lists Halo 3 as good to go
If you want to use the soundtracks or audio effects from the original game, we often license those from or to third parties and don't always have the rights to pass them on to you. If we do, we'll let you know. For example, we might mention on the community website for a particular game whether you have these rights, so you'd do well to check. If we don't let you know, you need permission from a third party, especially for games with licensed music. But we'll confirm right here that the music from Halo 3 is available for your use in non-profit ventures thanks to an arrangement with O'Donnell/Salvatori, Inc., composers of this iconic theme.

In the tools it can be anything if tools are configured like that

its a special "fake drive" linking to a folder on any actual partition

But whatever the development drive is called, it represents the root of the game engine file system
So paths in it match the paths that get written for the game internal file system to use
hearty sandal
I would not recommend using the A3 tools method since its buggy

Im feeling lazy too.
So you could do search on this discord for P drive and tools setup

Check cfgMusicClasses in game. Couldnt find a link to guide you. It is pretty basic anyways. I think it only takes a displayName and that should be it. Then you use musicClass property in your cfgMusic entries to list under those categories.

@jagged jasper not sure if it was modelspecial or modelempty (maybe i missunderstood with equipped with loaded and empty)
@jagged jasper are you looking for loaded and empty rocket launcher or something different?
Normaly its with the source isselected but dunno if it still works
Maybe try in cfgMagazines
modelSpecial= loadedlauncher or empty launcher.p3d
used when the weapon is loaded. This is typically only used for rocket launchers.
@jagged jasper
https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/194617-folding-stock-using-isselected-animation-source/
@livid heath could help probably (sry for tagging you 😝)
Your model is named as acousticBase.p3d?
untold temple
IIRC isSelected can only display things holstered, in the state they are modelled in the .p3d
So you can hide stuff when selecting the weapon, but not unhide it
Why do you have the back bone in the sections[] array?
sections[] is only for retexturing stuff, it has no bearing on animation. Generally I wouldn't advise using the same name for texture selections and your anim bones
Well if your back selection is also part of camo you will run into problems
Sections cannot overlap, same as bones cannot overlap
So if you're not using 'back' as a separate retexture selection, it doesn't need to be there
It needs to be in the cfgSkeletons to be animated. But again, if the vertices of back are also part of another named bone in the cfgSkeletons, it will break the animations
livid heath
Yeah use buldozer
Check your model.cfg animations all work there
IsSelected works great for on back/ in hand state weapons
strange egret
no anim appearing -> you did something wrong. model.cfg is always loaded
untold temple
Well, unless you have Disable model config checked in the buldozer drop-down
If the cfgModels class doesn't match the .p3d name exactly, it wont load it though
skeletonBones[] = {"back"}; needs to be skeletonBones[] = {"back",""};
Bones must be written as "child","parent" pairs
Even if there is no actual parent

Long shot question here, but would there be a theoretical way to make a tank strafe in arma?
Essentially when I press A and D on the keyboard it rotates a vehicle along some axis. Is there a way to change this to be a linear translation ( similar to the W and S key ).
Im pretty sure its Impossiable as it conflicts with engine stuff, but was wondering if anyone had more insight into this type of thing

it might be possible to do via scripting

As far as I know, actual strafing is impossible. You can give the illusion of strafing by making the entire vehicle the turret
That’s what I did with the Wraith in OPTRE: FC. Made the entire thing the turret so when you rotate, it rotates the whole vehicle. Confusing as hell to drive though

hello boys and girls, i have an issue: i am currently working for a mod in dayz (i am aware this is arma3 discord). the mod is replacing the flying/floating objects like leaves. replacing is not an issue but the problem is that the "items" are not spinning around in the wind like the stock models do. i tried all kinds of variations of :
airFriction2[] = {1,1,8};
airFriction1[] = {1,1,4};
airFriction0[] = {0.1,0.1,0.1};
gravityFactor=0.0;
airRotation = 10.5;
minHeight = 0.1;
avgHeight = 0.3;
maxHeight = 0.5;
but nothing seems to work. does anyone have experience with something like that. it seems same or similar commands are used for bullet casings that get ejected from guns. if someone has a clue please DM or @ me. much appreciated. thx!

offset1 to -1?
hearty sandal
sure that should work
hearty sandal
is the axis 1 or 2 points?
hearty sandal
yes
or well
translationY does not really need axis
since its just Y axis movement
axis has only proper use with "translation"
shy knot
type="translationY";
source="rpm";
selection="Cage";
axis="";
minValue=0;
maxValue=1;
offset0=0;
offset1=-1;```Still goes up. Could it be model wise?
hearty sandal
did you reload buldozer?
hearty sandal
I suppose you could use "translation" and 2 axis points
shy knot
Yeah, seems translation works
Now, it only goes down a slight bit. What value would increase that?
hearty sandal
now it travels the distance between the axis points on 0 to 1
so make the axis as long as your movement

source = "::wheel"; // Overriding the existing wheel controller.
initphase = 0.5;

it has quite little use cases
hearty sandal
what are you trying?
wintry tartan
Well, actually anything if I can. Like elevators, ailerons...
hearty sandal
aah right youd like to animate those for screenshot use
Id perhaps make the thing a house
wintry tartan
Yeah, if the idea is feasible
hearty sandal
could be possible to write all the sources as custom ones with house
as it does not have the engine driven sources
wintry tartan
House or simple object aren't a good solution for me, because wanted to make it every-Mod-compatible kind of thing
hearty sandal
only thing it would lack is the passenger positions 🤔
aaa
well that would require injecting base classes
wintry tartan
I know, it sounds like very stupid idea 😄
hearty sandal
but also not all vehicles inherit animation sources
so it might not carry over very far
wintry tartan
Ah true
hearty sandal
its not stupid idea, but it might need a lot more complex solution
wintry tartan
I can write some automated sqf to export config so complex solution won't be an issue for me
hearty sandal
it probably would need to be run for all vehicles anyone wants to use so that it creates a screenshot variant
but that could be good enough solution
I dont think overwriting the engine source gives more access to it though
wintry tartan
Anyways currently this is just an proof of concept state. Anything can be happened at this stage!
hearty sandal
it can just alter stuff like the init position and speed perhaps
not 100% sure though, been a while since I needed to do anything with the override
the house option might be most efficient
wintry tartan
Sounds like so, yeah. But I don't want to make a lot of compatible things per Mods in Steam Workshop so currently I'm looking for the :: solution
hearty sandal
well you could perhaps make your mod have vanilla and maybe some of the more commonly used mods converted
and then release the tool/script to generate the house config so people who need some different vehicle can make their own local config mod
wintry tartan
Well that's an idea
class CfgVehicles
{
class Car;
class Car_F: Car
{
class AnimationSources
{
class drivingWheel
{
source = "::drivingWheel";
initphase = 0.5;
AnimPeriod = 10;
raw = 1;
};
};

};```So current config is this. Tested in Hunter (`B_MRAP_01_F`), not working seemingly. Confirmed that `drivingWheel` exists in `B_MRAP_01_F` but it behaves completely normalwhats the raw parameter?
and yeh like I said, I dont think the overwrite makes it any more accessible with commands
hmm looks like the overwrite has been used in simple objects animationSources
scratch that read wrong line
only example in games configs I can find is this cpp class AnimationSources { class time { source="::time"; }; class timeRndOffset { source="::timeRndOffset"; }; };
wintry tartan
Ah, hmm
hearty sandal
dunno why they are ovewritten though without any change to them
oh wait
they are used in the "off" state windmills
so they might actually halt the engine input in these cases

I appologize if I cross-post this:
how to ADD items to the array of extended class ?
// description.ext
class CAR_1
{
inventory[] = {{"item1", 1}, {"item2", 1}};
};
class CAR_2 : CAR_1
{
inventory[] += {{"item3", 1}};
};
for some reason += does not add to array, but replace it
wanted result is to CAR_2 to have array {{"item1",1}, {"item2",1}, {"item3",1}}
hearty sandal
@lilac gust crossposting is verboten even if you apologize. 😛 stick to 1 channel. Though this may be more relevant one since its more config
and its possible that array does not support adding

it was suggested to me to post it here, instead in #arma3_scripting , so I don't delete it there for sake of history

No worries, I deleted it for you 🙂
What tool are you packing with? behaviour of array append might depend on the tool doing the binarization

So, first step: Make a folder and make a config.cpp inside the folder. And copy&paste this into the config.cpp.cpp class CfgPatches { class YourAwesomeFirstModdingStep { units[] = {}; weapons[] = {}; requiredVersion = 0.1; requiredAddons[] = {"A3_Data_F_Aow_Loadorder"}; }; };Second step: Pack into a Mod. Bring your Addon Builder, select input and output folder, start it
wintry tartan
Copy&paste. Don't edit anything
true spire
Thats done
wintry tartan
You got a pbo file?
true spire
Yes
wintry tartan
Congrats, that's your first Mod file. Now the last step: apply it to the game. To do this, make a folder anywhere (preferably with the name starts with @), and make a folder addons inside
Put your pbo inside the addons, so this is your Mod folder. Now drag and drop the folder with @ into Arma 3 Launcher. It should load the folder, so you can load the Mod
true spire
Drag and drop the addons folder or the whole folder?
wintry tartan
Whole
wintry tartan
Yes, the Mod doesn't do anything at all but that's the “hello world”
true spire
How would i make it do something, is it difficult?
wintry tartan
It really depends. If you just wanted to make a Hello World, that's it. If you wanted to make a Creator DLC, well... years of learn
true spire
I have a few scripts for a suicide bomber addon that i want to upload to the steam workshop.
When i unpacked the file i only saw config.bin, why is that?
true spire
what file?
The .pbo i created
true spire
and what did you unpack it with?
.pbo manager
wintry tartan
I don't think that's the case this time?
hearty sandal
well pbo manager does not convert bin back to cpp
so that is expected outcome when using it
but also there should be no need to unpack the pbo you just made
nothing new in there
true spire
How do i create something in there?
wintry tartan
Just put some files into the folder
hearty sandal
you edit the source files in the folder you just packed it from
true spire
So i put the files into the folder?
wintry tartan
Yes
hearty sandal
are the files from some other mod?
true spire
No
They're just a few scripts that I've made
Do i unpack the .pbo file and put the files in or do i put the files in the addons folder and drag it onto the launcher?
hearty sandal
you do not unpack anything
and not in the addon folder
you just made the pbo from a folder (on your P drive) that had the config.cpp
that is your source folder
and that is where you put stuff and edit stuff in
and then pack that folder again
true spire
I've done that but there isn't any other folders or files in the .pbo
hearty sandal
do you have a P drive
true spire
No
hearty sandal
well that means your mod development tools and environment is not set up
true spire
Do i just click "Mount the project drive"?
wintry tartan
I'd say P is mandatory for advanced but don't think for a “it's working so no problem” Mod
hearty sandal
but its not working
wintry tartan
Is it?
true spire
No its not
hearty sandal
you can do a search for P drive and tools setup here on this discord for steps
true spire
Is there anything i need in the folder to make it initialise on mission start?
true spire
Alright
hearty sandal
in your case it might be just easier to pack your scripts up with the mission you make
wintry tartan
Doesn't CfgFunctions do?
hearty sandal
not in the sense that stuff just happens, they would have to be called in the mission
opal crater
Doesn't CfgFunctions do?
Yes it does.
true spire
I will give that a try

Whats up with ORBAT(VANILLA ONE, NOT ALIVE)? i get black screen when im opening its tree or i cant see subordinates.
Black screen gives error with BIS_fnc_ORBATOpen and second gives BIS_fnc_ORBATAnimate
Something is really bad with ORBAT that nobody is answering?
hearty sandal
looks like your P drive does not contain those files you are refering to
so PboProject cant validate the paths
sounds like you have same issue as here
its a virtual drive
I dont have the links for guides at hand but you should be able to find them easily on this discord
I suppose you did not look up the guides on discord then.
there is search
no, but doing it with the BI tools will make things more difficult than in the way with the guides
hearty sandal
did you use the arma tools mounting before?
hearty sandal
arma tools launchers mounting breaks it usually in win 10
hearty sandal
yeh the launchers mount digs it into a deep ditch
simple subst that the guides use does the job more reliably
issue is admin/user file access thingies that the launcher poops
should work unless the admin mode stuff the launcher mounting is still lingering
lilac gust
What tool are you packing with? behaviour of array append might depend on the to...
oh, so I put that code in description.ext under custom class, say CfgMyVehicles {}. I pack mission with PBO Manager v14.7.
// description.ext
class CfgMyVehicles {
class CAR_1 {
inventory[] = {{"item1", 1}, {"item2", 1}};
};
class CAR_2 : CAR_1 {
inventory[] += {{"item3", 1}};
};
}
// initServer.sqf
private _items = [missionConfigFile >> "CfgMyVehicles" >> "CAR_2", "inventory", []] call BIS_fnc_returnConfigEntry;
Don't. PBO Manager is a garbage
lilac gust
Don't. PBO Manager is a garbage
oh, it is most convinient for me, as it have context menu for windows. any alternatives you recomend ?
wintry tartan
Why would you need to pack the mission? Just use Eden Editor

Why would you need to pack the mission? Just use Eden Editor
I barely use eden editor, I do most of things in some IDE, repack, run bat from server, etc...
atomic tulip
Is it possible to modify an existing item using description.ext only or do I need to make an actual mod if I'm modifying instead of adding a new item?
wintry tartan
Impossible. description.ext never affects to actual assets
atomic tulip
Ahh ok, thank you. That's why this isn't working.
grand zinc
So you're not packing with any tool, description.ext is not binarized.
So the end result is car2 inventory ONLY having item3 but none of the others?
lilac gust
So you're not packing with any tool, description.ext is not binarized.
So the en...
yes, that is correct. final array is only item3

Is there a way to redefine a property of an existing config class, without creating a new subclass?
E.g. with existing class B_T_Pilot_F, something like:
class B_T_Pilot_F {
displayName = "My customized pilot class";
};
Yes, via declaring the parent and inheriting properly
neon venture
Thanks, declaring parent worked:
class B_Pilot_F;
class B_T_Pilot_F : B_Pilot_F {
displayName = "My customized pilot class";
};

This is not a config but you missed { right after "HitPart",
ashen prairie
[]: 'bin\config.bin/cfgpatches/mymodname/' not an array
What's the correct formatting for units insides cfgpatches if I wish to leave it blank?
My config is changing values of weapons inherited from another mod, all functionality works as intended but I'd just like to get rid of this error message.
Current setup is:
" units[] = {}; "
but apparently that's not correct
nimble sequoia
Looks ok Carl, maybe post the rest of your cfgPatches
ashen prairie
class CfgPatches {
class Carls_BWfix {
name = "Carls_BWfixmod";
requiredVersion=0.1;
requiredAddons[]={"bwa3_g28","bwa3_g29","bwa3_mg5"};
author[]={"Carl"};
units[] = {};
};
};
#include "CfgMagazines.hpp"
#include "CfgMagazineWells.hpp"
#include "cfgweapons.hpp"
As per the wiki, units should be used for including Cfgvehicles, but I literally dont have one in the mod so it's redundant?
slim halo
> class CfgPatches {
> class Carls_BWfix {
> name = "Carls_BWfixmod"...
not exactly sure what's wrong, but you can try adding weapons, and maybe changing author to a string
#include "cfgweapons.hpp"
if you add weapons then you do need weapons
ashen prairie
Oh
weapons
is the equivalent of units?
I'm assuming any newly defined weapons need to go in here
slim halo
yeah. I'm not sure about modified weapons tho
nimble sequoia
As Leopard says, change author[]={"Carl"}; to author = "Carl";
ashen prairie
😆
Thanks guys.
Adding in *weapons...*didnt make a difference, it was functionally fine beforehand and seems to work the same after.
the author part was the problem

hey does anyone know of a way to convert the starter pistol into an actuall pistol?
rough hatch
you'd pretty much just need to change its ammo to something else
devout venture
Is it possible to change a vehicle's turret just trough configs? For example if I wanted to replace the RCWS on a Hunter with a Nyx AT RCWS, would that be possible just trough configs? AFAIK turrets are an entirely separate model
strange egret
no they are not seperate models, and no you cant do that
you can change the weapon class, but it wont change visual representation
strange egret
did you test multiple targets or just one?

I have artilleryScanner set on my vehicle but how would I get to operate like an arty?
Am I missing anything else?

artilleryComputer

Both or just one?

artilleryComputer
Added artilleryComputer instead of artilleryScanner and nope
I'm using a mortar round on a vehicle. I added artilleryScanner and it works but it wont let me fire anywhere
hearty sandal
is your turrets gun set up so that it can point straight up?
shy knot
Like, 25-30 degrees of elevation
It’s a semi mortar
Does it need to point straight up to work or can any degree of elevation work
hearty sandal
well not straight up but I suppose all of them are set up to fire on very high arc and thats how they seem to work

is it possible to set a units insignia via config? like a LinkedItem value or is it only able to be added via script?

likely would need to be done via Init eventhandler

@paper path ive added the insignia on our soldiers, but it will change if you choose a other one in eden editor, and if im right, already saw it changes in MP too

how do i replace a character in a string via macro in my config?
i'm trying for over an hour now, but i'm obviously too stupid to get it right
example: #define MY_MACRO(x) \ class my_class_##x \ { \ sound[] = {"@tag\my_sound\"#x#".ogg", db+0, 1}; \ titles[] = {0, ""}; \ }
i've tried connecting with +, &, ##, without the " (results in "any") ...
i'm completely out of ideas now and the wiki doesn't show any examples for that either
grand zinc
sound[] = {'@tag\my_sound\x.ogg', db+0, 1};
brazen merlin
jesus christ, how the hell should anyone know that in this case "x" is replaced
grand zinc
By knowing how the preprocessor works
all occurences of the macro parameter name are replaced.
brazen merlin
could be written on the wiki i guess
grand zinc
But, double quoted strings are ignored.
And it looks up by identifier.
Identifiers are 0-9A-z_
