is not working how?

urban basin
#

won't show up in the editor

#

I might have found the error

#

The faction was civ and I put side=2...

that could be a problem

I want to modify the fatigue for certain unit classes, and discovered CfgMovesFatigue. I inherited from it for each unit class I want to modify and set different values, but nothing seemed any different ingame.

    /*extra stuff snipped*/
    class CfgMovesFatigue:CfgMovesFatigue{
      aimPrecisionSpeedCoef = 1;//5
      staminaCooldown = 30;//10
      staminaDuration = 300;//60
      staminaRestoration = 60;//30
      terrainDrainRun = 0;//-1
      terrainDrainSprint = -.1;//-1
      terrainSpeedCoef = 0.9;
    };
  };```

Did i put this class in the wrong place?

Edit: I made a child class of CfgMovesFatigue in the root of the addon, and set the variable `movesFatigue = "CfgMovesFatigueNPCyborg";`, didn't appear to work

As a temporary workaround, I used this:```class CfgInventoryGlobalVariable {
    maxSoldierLoad = 1500;
};```

Hey all having trouble getting units to spawn through zeus. They are spawnable in editor but i can't get them to show in zeus at all.

in the config but they still don't appear

hearty sandal
#

do you have them listed in cfgPatches units array

shy knot
runic heart
#

no

#

i was not aware of that

hearty sandal
#

that would be it then

runic heart
#

awesome

#

let me give it a go

hearty sandal
shy knot
#

Though, my missile 1 and 2 selections are apart of mainturret

#

Should they be separate?

hearty sandal
#

yes

#

only last animated selection must be used

shy knot
#

Alright, I've unlinked them from mainturret. Could that've been my issue? Using 2 selections and animating them?

hearty sandal
#

possibly

#

what animation source are you using?

shy knot
#

For the missiles?

hearty sandal
#

yes

shy knot
#

missiles_revolving and missiles_reloadmagazine

#

Think I might've found the issue

#

missile_move was 2 points instead of 1

runic heart
#

after much bitching and moaning it works

#

helps to actually pack the PBO as well >.>

shy knot
#

Nope, that didnt do it

shy knot
hearty sandal
#

do the animations do anything in buldozeR?

#

and why missiles_revolving?

#

revolving on its own should work since it plays after weapon fire

shy knot
#

It asks for missile1.begin in Buldozer so I cant see it

hearty sandal
#

missile1 being would be axis point

#

you dont have axis defined

#

translation type always needs memorypoint axis

#

yours is set to not use memorypoints

#

and no axis begin end is defined

#

only the translationsX/Y/Z work without memorypoints

shy knot
#

So, what would I use as the axis?

#

Another memory point or one of the missile ones

hearty sandal
#

memorypoints

#

2 of them

#

that define the movement direction

#

and length

shy knot
hearty sandal
#

it can be any direction you want

#

the 2 axis memorypoints define the direction

shy knot
#

So, missile_1 and missile_2 are my axis points?

hearty sandal
#

no

#

you make new ones

shy knot
#

Ah

hearty sandal
#

you never used axis memorypoints?

#

๐Ÿ˜…

shy knot
#

I've never done missiles changing firing points before lol

hearty sandal
#

yes but axis memorypoints are the salt of translation animations

shy knot
#

Does just one axis work

#

Ok, now it's stretching to the bottom of the model. I'll play with the values

hearty sandal
#

๐Ÿ‘

#

good luck

shy knot
#

Any way to easily get a value for a point?

#

Like, x fires at y then z fires at 1

#

Say, one point is at 5 and Iโ€™d want to get the value for the next point

hearty sandal
#

im not sure what you mean by next point

shy knot
#

Say, a model.cfg entry requires a # value to point where it is on the model

Through a config addon yes

#

HEy, does anyone have the CfgMainMenuSpotlight Classnames for the two Western Sahara missions shown in the Main Menu. Couldn't find them in the config viewer.

opal crater
#

It's added to the display.

#

Not to the CfgMainMenuSpotlight

# 
class RscDisplayMain: RscStandardDisplay {
    // delete all Spotlights added directly to the display. (only saw it in WS CDLC so far)
    delete Spotlight;
};
glossy flax
#

Would that mean, that I would not be able to add my own spotlight then?

opal crater
#

?

#

Nothing changed regarding the spotlight functionality.

Thanks alot, worked wonderfully ๐Ÿ‘

quick question, trying to hide parts of my helmet through config so I can have multiple versions of it without using more than 1 model. How do I go about this?

I am trying to retexture vehicles. The issue I have is that the tempest refuses to change itself at all, the MRAP is completely fine and works with the assigned hiddenselection texture. Is there any issue in here?

does anyone know how to add a new animal to the zeus animals class? it's driving me crazy

Can someone help me figure out how the ADR/P90's visual config works? A friend has asked me to write the necessary code to bring his retexture into the game. I'm not new to configs but this retexture is a bit more than usual.

He has modified these three files and made sure they work by replacing the files in weapons_f_mod, and they're good:
body_black_co, metal_co, mag_ca

I've successfully written a config for a retextured P90 (which is a separate gun from the vanilla p90) with the following in cfgweapons, which successfully modifies the main body of the P90 (but not the magazine of course, and metal_co seems to control the textures of the front of the gun so not that part either):

class SMG_03C_TR_black;
class TAS_P90_TR_Pink: SMG_03C_TR_black
{
    hiddenSelections[] = {"camo"};
    hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"Autismo_Seals_Unit_Mod\addons\TAS_P90_Edits\Textures\body_pink.paa"};
};

(I also have a couple other lines in the config like author, as well as a separate config for a new ammo and magazine that ups the P90 damage a bit)

However, I've dug through all the configs of weapons_f_mod and I see no references to metal_co or mag_ca so I don't know how to retexture them in the config. Does anyone know how Bohemia set the ADR/P90 to use these texture files so that I can do the same with the retextured files?

hearty sandal
#

@clever geyser those texture names do not sound like vanilla weapon texture names so its unlikely you find reference to them

clever geyser
#

my friend might have abbreviated them, let me check my unmodified copy of weapons_f_mod

hearty sandal
#

I believe this is base ADR class

clever geyser
#

all from weapons_f_mod folder:
m_adr97mag_ca.paa (might actually be mag_ca.paa, forget which one he retextured, I'll check)
body_black_co.paa
metal_co.paa

clever geyser
#

I've looked through it and there's model and then there's a camo textured for the non-black ones

hearty sandal
clever geyser
#

I've only done helmet retextures for friends in the past so might be missing something obvious unique to weapons and magazines

hearty sandal
#

you can see the available hiddenselections and textures in the camo or khaki variant

stray sage
brazen merlin
#

the module

#

currently has goats, sheep,..

hearty sandal
stray sage
#

You need to create new classes inherited from ModuleAnimals_F

clever geyser
brazen merlin

#

I've seen some things about mag proxies when googling but I don't think the p90 supports that? I think there's something simpler

hearty sandal
hearty sandal
#

or some other p90

stray sage
brazen merlin
#

in 3den everything works fine

clever geyser
hearty sandal

just making sure as you said you had modded p90 from elsewhere

clever geyser
#

I don't know what option in cfgMagazines controls the texture is the problem. Current:

class CfgMagazines
{
    class CA_Magazine;
    class 50Rnd_570x28_SMG_03;
    class TAS_50Rnd_570x28_EP_SMG_03: CA_Magazine
    {
        author = "Guac";
        scope = 2;
        displayName = "5.7mm 50Rnd EP Magazine";
        ammo = "TAS_570x28_EP_Ball";
        count = 50;
        initSpeed = 715;
        picture = "\a3\weapons_f_mod\data\m_adr97mag_ca.paa";
        tracersEvery = 0;
        descriptionShort = "A P90 magazine containing 50 Enhanced Performance rounds.";
        mass = 12;
    };
#

(ammo is defined elsewhere)

#

What discord code block should I be using for config boxes btw? sqf?

#

or is there a better one for configs specifically

stray sage
#

At least not using the same module sooo... or am I missing it?

brazen merlin
#

there is

clever geyser
#

Here's weapons_f_mod default mag config. AFAIK none of these are the texture?

class CfgMagazines
{
    class CA_Magazine;
    class 50Rnd_570x28_SMG_03: CA_Magazine
    {
        author = "$STR_A3_Bohemia_Interactive";
        scope = 2;
        displayName = "$STR_A3_CfgMagazines_50Rnd_570x28_SMG_031";

hearty sandal
#

aaand the magazine itself is probably not made to support retexturing

round lodge
stray sage
clever geyser
hearty sandal
#

yes indeed it does not support texture change

clever geyser
brazen merlin
hearty sandal
#

cfgmagazinewells would allow you to make another magazine that fits the same magazine well

#

instead of hacking your new magazine into the vanilla class

#

but ADR does not have magwell functionality

#

and the ADR mag can not be retextured

clever geyser
gleaming sentinel
clever geyser
#

and do you know how bohemia textured it? some non-config magic (since I only see "model =" as the single visual-related thing in config and I assume model is just the usual untextured 3d object thing like it usually is) or what?

stray sage
brazen merlin
#

hard to explain

#

there is lots of crap connected to it

#

such as the CuratorOnly_Modules_F_Curator_Animals in CfgPatches

#

like i wrote, i made a copy of everything with goat in name, but the new entry doesnt show up

hearty sandal
round lodge
hearty sandal
#

hiddenselections just change from what is default

and editing bohemia's p3ds is super illegal iirc?

Do you have a pbo set up already?

round lodge
#

yes

#

I have everything up

gleaming sentinel
#

It will be there if its not binarized

round lodge
#

what?

gleaming sentinel
#

Otherwise you will need to make a new one from the provided examples

hearty sandal
#

but it does not have hiddenselection defined for it so it can not be changed

round lodge
#

the problem I have is, I have a working one but I copy and paste, and the other vehicle doesnt work

#

both are vanilla

#

they show up but the only issue is the second vehicle is applied with vanilla textures - when i dont want to

gleaming sentinel
#

I know, it doesnt work because its not set up to work

#

Do you understand how the texture selections actually work?

round lodge
#

yes

#

I have made them numerous times myself for my own mods

gleaming sentinel
#

Then you know the model.cfg needs to have the selections defined in it. If they arent, then it wont work. Not all vehicles have the same defined selections. If you are changing a vanilla arma vehicle, you would need to know which selections it has defined already

round lodge
#

im sorry but youre not really helping me

gleaming sentinel
#

I hope someone else here can assist you

round lodge

#

both have hiddenselections yet the truck refuses

        modes[] = {"manual", "ai_close", "ai_far", "ai_short_burst"};
        class manual: manual {    
            dispersion = 0.002;
            minRangeProbab = 0;  midRangeProbab = 0;  maxRangeProbab = 0;            
        };
        class ai_close : manual {

        class ai_far: manual { 
        }; 
        class ai_short_burst: manual { 
        }; 

    };```
#

In the above example, is there a way to force ai_close, ai_far, and ai_short_burst to inherit from M2BC's "manual" instead of from M2's "manual".

#

Question 2: A2OA. Does anybody know why fire modes with burst > 1 only play sound for the first shot fired in the burst?

So I feel like this is the most likely to be helpful for this- but I'm running into a real niche PboProject error that's been throwing me for a few days now and I'm at my ends about it.
For some added context- before now I've been using a 2015-ish build of Mikero's tools, and recently with a new PC I got the latest versions instead.

So, basically it's throwing the attached image. For clarity, it'll build other pbos fine, and under the 2015 version this built fine, but does not now. As an extra test, I ran project on a prior version that is 100% known to build and it threw the same error, so... I'm lost and I can't even tell you where I'm lost

thats it

if its a uniform just call him like this

its not a uniform it's a unit

hmm. lemme try that

oh I'd want to change its faction too

for a unit it's not the same give a second

ok

I would have thought: ```cpp

scopeCurator = 2;

};

this is what I was writing

this makes no sense, why isn't it working then

the faction "I_Orks_CA" is indep ?

    class I_Orks_CA {

and it's works perfectly with the base class ?

#

1 sec I will try it again with the base class but it did work just now yes

im not sure at all but it can be the uniform what is the mod ?

i'm trying to edit the mission Liberation file to work with Simplex Support Systems. According to gihub I have to remove a line of code in the pbo. But doing so will give me this message: File mpmissions/_cur_mp.lythium\scripts\client\CfgFunctions.hpp,line 0:'/CfgFunctions/KPLIBclient':''encountered instead of '='

I change the pbo like that:

} else {
            _zeus setVariable ["Addons", 3, true];
            _zeus setVariable ["BIS_fnc_initModules_disableAutoActivation", false];

            _zeus setCuratorCoef ["Place", 0];
            _zeus setCuratorCoef ["Delete", 0];

            removeAllCuratorAddons _zeus;
        };

        _zeus setVariable ["KPLIB_limited", _limited];

        _player assignCurator _zeus;

after the edits it looks like that


} else {
            _zeus setVariable ["Addons", 3, true];
            _zeus setVariable ["BIS_fnc_initModules_disableAutoActivation", false];

        };

        _zeus setVariable ["KPLIB_limited", _limited];

        _player assignCurator _zeus;


I just remove the "removeAllCuratorAddons _zeus;"

after the change I unpack and repack the pbo. I don't change anything in the CfgFunctions.hpp file.

Can anyone help me with this problem?

why do you nest the classes?

no. I said no nesting

hardy crow
hearty sandal
#

You are putting classes inside each other

#

And not after each other

#

Same stuff you did before

#

Look into the example rifle and how the classes are in its config

#

Some are inside another class and some are after another class

#

You need to trace where class starts and where it ends

#

And what's in it and what class comes after it

#

It's very simple logic.

#

RIGHT

Order of debug:
1.Write config

2.Compare to vanilla all In One or sample config for structure

3.test in game

4.A if does not pack, fix reported errors and try again.

4.B if packs but not working, check vanilla and sample again for reference and adjust your work.

4.C if I am furbzeyy, consider carefully if I'm over thinking this.

  1. If this still does not work ask here.

Has anyone heard anything in the last few years about bugs that using destrType = "DestructNo"; breaks certain things like reflectors/lights on buildings?

hearty sandal

# hearty sandal how do the lights break?

They don't show at all, if I put up all the flare settings etc to stupid values I occasionally get a weird light source in the wrong place, but otherwise they just aren't there. As soon as I remove the destrtype value or change it from DestructNo it works fine

hearty sandal

what class type are they? in geometry lod namedProperty "class"

are they terrain placed or editor placed?

Regardless of the class type it does it, don't work in terrain editor etc. The second I remove the destruct type in the config it works fine in both editor and terrain

didnt ask that, I asked what type you have it set up as.

Is it possible to add an integral scope to a weapon? or can it only be done via the slots?

hearty sandal
#

It's possible to make a config for integral scope but in case you mean to add it to some existing weapon, not very well as it's likely the weapon model lacks the memorypoints the scope needs. And the visual appearance

karmic tartan
#

I am trying to make a periscope, I was able to make it so when you ADS the eye view memory point is used but it is a very scuffed work around

#

I since tried to use the optics mode class copied from an acc optic in the a3 samples and it stopped working and doesn't seem to open up the modeloptics even though they used the same memory point.

Vanilla AT launchers like the Titan, RPG-42 and PCML have integrated scopes

you may need to get yourself all In One config dump so you can explore the whole vanilla config with ease

is the general macro important for the integral scopes to work?

dont think so

#

if your optic spot does not go to right place that could indicate mismatch between configured memorypoint and p3d memorypoint

I am getting this error code 'bin \ config.bin / CfgWeapons / iteminfo.scope" too

you probably have iteminfo in wrong place then

Yeah I am fixing that now but it has never been an issue in my previous builds of the mod

#

odd

its now lookinf for a weapon called iteminfo that is missing parameter scope

new fix

#

huh, I removed all mention of itemcore and I still get it

#

can you put the config into pastebin?

#

and link here

karmic tartan
#

does that work?

hearty sandal
#

I think class WeaponSlotsInfo; is in wrong place at least

#

and slotsinfo too

#

they dont belong inside cfgweapons

#

they do belong inside weapon classes but their originis outside of cfgweapons on the root level

karmic tartan
#

Okay, I think I have corrected that

#

but the scope still doesn't work for some reason.

hearty sandal
#

and you have "opticview" and "look" memorypoints?

karmic tartan
#

Yeah

hearty sandal
#

you may need to define modeloptics type too

#

and/or add optics = 1; into the weapons config

karmic tartan

is that not the same as usemodeloptics=1?

change it to muzzles[] = {"this"};

otherwise game uses only "Safe" muzzle and their respective optic configuration

so just remove the safe fire option?

#

yes

karmic tartan
#

trying it now

karmic tartan

#

you have this parameter modes[] = {"Single"};
yet class Single, representing single fire mode is missing

#

I guess you can also remove that modes[] parameter and use whatever is inherited. I guess it is probably modes[] = {"this"};

I fixed the error by just removing the mode and leaving the muzzle

now to get the camera in the right place haha

Figured it out! Turns out the problem wasn't with the grenades at all, but with the units using them. The units didn't have Throw and Put equipped. The reason the grenades were usable once a vanilla grenade was picked up is because that made sure the unit now had Throw. Using the arsenal also had the same effect.

So there we go, mystery solved. Except for why AI could use it, but I guess AI don't need no man lol

Is typicalCargo[] = {"man_class_A", "man_class_B"}; used at all anywhere in the game?

crew = sets the driver type and gunnerType = in turrets sets the gunner classes, it seems typicalCargo is redundant?

Trawling back through the archives of 6 years ago I found one suggestion that it only affects what AI observing the vehicle believe will be the occupants, and might factor into their calculation as to whether to attack or not?

  1. is it possible to add a freelook camera (a la tank commander) to the gunner of vehicle that dont have it (e.g hummingbird)?
  2. if question 1 is not possible, is there a way to give control of the targeting pod (ctrl + rmb) to the gunner seat of the vehicle? Because i was able to make a freelook camera (with pilotcamera class) to the hummingbird pilot but i need it to be accessed by the gunner

Does pboProject recognize items in PBO in the P in the first place?

#

Usually I fix such issues with just making some empty files so are not missing anymore

glacial spear
#

And it to give gunner a turret you would create a turret class, but you need mem points

#

Make a turret cfg using default memory point naming, arma is pretty consistent

reef shore
#

i was able to create the turret for gunner, but not make it freelook

#

its attached to that mempoint, but i think because the mempoint is not animated in the model, it doesnt move

for example the hellcat has these:

try using these and find the defaults for them

when no point is defined everything defaults to [0,0,0] coordinate

which can have rather unexpected results

the turrets and such are not really meant to be added to things that do not have the actual memorypoints and animations to work with

is there any way to adjust the "base" zeroing of a gun?

i made a custom gun but it seems to fire at like a 20-degree-downwards angle

so the bullet always lands just outside the rim of the reflex sight no matter how close the target is

this happens in 3p mode too (the bullet lands consistently well-below the 3p crosshair) so i don't think it's just a model orientation issue

it's because i was doing setvelocity[x,y,-100] on the man in order to keep him from ramping off stuff while running super fast (which i think we actually had discussed)

@shy knot The simplest and most common option is to make spungMass = mass of vehicle / number of weight bearing wheels

Does anybody know if it is possible to configure such that the AI has some >0 probability of using several different weapons under the same circumstances? Example: Grenadiers to use sometimes their rifle and sometimes their under-barrel launcher.

nimble sequoia

Then calculate
springStrength = 25 to 100 * sprungMass (depending on type of vehicle and hardness of suspension desired)
springDamperRate = 2 * sqrt(springStrength * sprungMass)

@narrow swallow If you have simple 1 to 1 relationships between config.cpp AnimationSources and model.cfg Animation, try naming their classes both the same.

yo bros theres something thats been puzzling me, inside the vanilla hummingbird config, in each new variant, the class "copilotturret" inside of the turrets class is always defined, and it always inherits from the parent "copilotturret" class. however what i dont uinderstand is, why does it have to be defined even though there's no changes made to the parent class?

Here's the config line that i mean:

           class CopilotTurret: CopilotTurret
            {
            };
#

I tried making a new hummingbird variant, and from my testings if you dont define that class the copilot seat will not show up, but when you check the configs of the vehicle the copilotturret class is present and is exactly the same as the parent class??

#

the same goes with the cargoturret classes for the FFV seats

nimble sequoia
#

If you make any change in the class Turrets, you have to redefine each and every one of the sub classes, or you lose them.
It's a peculiarity of this class and one or two others.

opal crater
#

Turrets don't use inherited classes. It must be explicitly defined.

nimble sequoia

There's a couple of others too, but can't remember which. Reflectors, maybe?

opal crater

Yeah, there was few of them IIRC but I can't recall any other than turrets right now.

You need to expiclty tell the game what turret it has. If it would work "normally" you would need to delete all unwanted turrets.

thanks so much guys, i spent whole day trying to figure it out myself, shoulde've just asked sooner yourekillingme

My top tip, is to search this very discord for help, rather than generic google. Most questions have already been asked here... for example "turret inheritance" brings up the answers fairly quickly.

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Class_Inheritance#Inheritance

Some special classes like `CfgVehicles >> MyClass >> Turrets` will not use inherited sub-classes, if this class is redefined on your child class then you need to explicitly define all sub-classes that should be used by engine.

idk, I'm shit at explaining stuff and this could use a config code example.

#

There's nothing about the turrets at all. NotLikeThis

#

if this class is redefined on your child class
not sure if I'm right about this one, IIRC if you don't re-define turrets it should use the inherited one just right?

#

(That's how simple variants of vehicles like reskins work)

reef shore
nimble sequoia
#

class Turrets is inherited, but not sub classes unless explicitly redefined

opal crater
#

they're still inherited. As in will show in game config.

#

But won't be used unless explicitly defined.

nimble sequoia
#

let me refine that

opal crater
#

That's why it's bit hard to write it in understandable way without writing a whole article nootlikethis

nimble sequoia
#

class Turrets is inherited, except that if a change is made to Turrets, all of it's sub-classes need to be explicitly redefined to avoid losing them (?)

#

some code examples illustrating would be best

opal crater

#

There's 2 parts to this, one is Config which... well works like always, nothing is different.

#

However engine does not read this class like it does with the other ones regarding the Vehicle behaviour.

As it is ignoring inherited Turrets sub-classes.

and I probably made it even less understandable now

the problem I'm having is I want there to be some chance that ai will use either. What's happening is they wont ever use the rifle if they can use the grenade launcher. So they'll just sit there doing nothing, occasionally lobbing a grenade, but generally being totally ineffective.

is it possible to enable/disable NVGs for FFS/CargoTurrets? Currently, the NVGs are not present in the FFS positions, but they appear when NVG/TI is turned on. I'd prefer to have more control over that, so I can set that they are seen in 3rd person on AND off, or not at all. Also, this is for a pickup-type vehicle, so the front seat cargo won't show NVGs being worn, but the guys in the back should.

btw, I've tried these:
showNVGgunner = 1; showNVGcargo[] = {0,1};

true yeah, but i added option for driver to change the passenger's aim turret

Evening, I have tried editing CSAT Shikras values to be more like SU-57 (RHS) however when ever I increase the values of thrustcoef, it seems to slow the plane down instead of make it faster. Any ideas?

I'm trying to add Tanks' MAAWS ammo to a backpack for AT unit.
having this:

class usm_pack_alice;
    class usm_pack_alice_maaws : usm_pack_alice
    {
        scope = 1;
        class TransportMagazines
        {
            class _02_mraws_heat
            {
                name = "MRAWS_HEAT_F";
                count = 2;
            };
            class _01_mraws_he
            {
                name = "MRAWS_HE_F";
                count = 1;
            };
        };
    };```
causes error "No entry bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/usm_pack_alice_maaws/TransportMagazines/_02_mraws_heat_magazine". I am sure ammo classes are legit along with the backpack class. What am I doing wrong? **EDIT** nvm i'm blind

What PBO is CfgActions in?

Or is there another equivalent of the inputs.xml from Enfusion?

@wicked wave best bet is to get all in one config dump file and search that

instead of hunting the separate pbos

So got a question in regards to ACE. We have an internal custom units/faction mod, and used to have ACE medical gear in their items. But we want to remove ACE as a dependency of our mod. We added FirstAidKit s and our server cba_settings has force force ace_medical_treatment_convertItems = 0; but it still just removes the FAKs instead of converting them into some basic bandages and stuff. Did we do something wrong?

#

(we do force uniforms through CBA event handlers, does that perhaps delete the items inside the uniform?)

            class Third_ForceUniform_EH
            {
                init="_this call { (_this select 0) forceAddUniform 'U_I_E_Uniform_01_F'; }";

I want to replace some textures of a tank, but I want to keep the original textures for the wheels. Is there a way to only replace some?

If I just leave it out, that part of the tank becomes invisible.

Can somebody help me with fixing my ORBAT config in description.ext?

#

When I get everything set up (paths and roofs included in ORBAT module in editor, and description.ext set up), I always get error with game not identifying type of ORBAT group upon launch of mission, and they always disappear when I load into missions. When I decided to copy entire description.ext stuff from one YouTube video, it worked fine without any errors, yet upon smallest changes it gives me errors

when making the config for a custom faction of mine, a question popped up.
In the same way headgear & facewear for the FIA is randomised is it possible through the config to do weapon randomisation from a pool?

that would make it impossible to have specific weapon

such randomization should be done on mission level

how do i gain access to car_F.p3d in arma 3 samples? do i need to dep3d it?

tardy fossil

do you HAVE to have a category class in your CfgFunctions?

nimble sequoia

Creating an A3 folder with its files would have been the second step after making a p drive in setting up a modding environment.

#

To open a p3d from the samples you use Object Builder.

To be honest i dont need the car_F (although this would be an optional learning direction) all i need to know is where to find the cargo ffv so can replace the animation, thats it

I'm trying to set up a turret + turn-out ffv.

Hey! I'm fairly novice to moding and I would like to make a version of the stomper that features slat cages like the ones that were added with the tanks DLC. I guess I suck at googling because I can't really find much documentation about them.

Where could I find more information? Thanks and merry holidays!

In theory you could model the cage separately and use scripting to attach it on the Vic, but that may not work quite how you envision it

@burnt oracle Your questions are more config related than model making...
This is a general template that might help you understand what is needed. Replace <nnnnn> with class names.

{
    class <your_pbo> 
    {
        units[] = {};
        weapons[] = {"<your_weapon>"};
        magazines[] = {"<your_magazine>"};
        ammo[] = {"<your_ammo>"};
        requiredVersion = 0.1;
        requiredAddons[] = {"A3_Data_F_Aow_Loadorder"};
    };
};

class CfgWeapons 
{
    class <vanilla_weapon>;
    class <your_weapon>: <vanilla_weapon> 
    {
        displayName = "Papas new weapon";
        magazines[] = {"<your_magazine>"};
        ... other weapon changes
    };
};

class CfgMagazines 
{ 
    class <vanilla_magazine>;
    class <your_magazine>: <vanilla_magazine> 
    {
        displayName = "Papas new magazine";
        ammo = "<your_ammo>";
        ... other ammo changes
    };
};

class CfgAmmo 
{
    class <vanilla_ammo>;
    class <your_ammo>: <vanilla_ammo> 
    {
        ... ammo changes
    };
};```

ok i see. So again a dum question but after what do i need to define the name of my new magazine ?

nimble sequoia
#

Edited above code to add a name for the new magazine.

burnt oracle
# 
{
    class <your_pbo> 
    {
        units[] = {};
        weapons[] = {"<your_weapon>"};
        magazines[] = {"<your_magazine>"};  // here i can put anything i want ? ```
nimble sequoia
#

No. Replace it with the new class name of the magazine

#

So find all occurances of <your_magazine> and replace with Papa_30Rdn_762X39_AK12_Mag_F or whatever you want to call it.

#

Your next step is to look at the A3 Samples weapon code in more detail and to download the "All-In-One config dump" so that you can look at A3 code.

burnt oracle
#

do you recommand that i start from scratch ?

nimble sequoia
#

It depends on your ambition, patience, self-determination and time!

#

I'd always recommend that you start with something very simple.

wintry tartan
#

Copy n paste is one of the way to take the first step

nimble sequoia
#

Like just changing the name of a weapon, nothing more.

burnt oracle
#

well i really would like to have like a first weapon mostly working with basic things. And then learn to do more

burnt oracle
nimble sequoia
#

Then change the fire rate.
Then change the number of bullets in the magazine.
Small goals, learn something at each stage.

#

But you're wanting to change too much (model, animations? weapon, magazine, ammo) without having a firm understanding of the basics of config just yet.

#

So you have to rely on copy/paste to achieve a single goal, but it's then a repetitive "why doesn't this work", which means someone else is basically having to write it for you.

I am attempting to create compositions within a mod with CfgGroups. And while I can get objects to spawn in a group, their z values are almost always incorrect. Within my defined composition I will have something like this:

class Object0 {side = 8; vehicle = "land_obj"; rank = ""; position[] = {0,0,20}; dir = 0;};

The above always comes in at ground level rather than z = 20. In Eden, I've tried switching from ATL to ASL mode and disabling surface snapping but no luck so far. Is there a fix or workaround for this problem?

weird situation, didn't know where to put it so I'll post it in here...
I'm making a weapon pack and when I go into the arsenal there are ai holding your chosen weapon, so when I shoot the gun (made by me) in ai's hands it shows particles and plays sounds as if i shot the ground and not a gun, tested it with others from RHS and T1W and the problem doesn't occur, is it because of error in my config or the model itself?

you probably have not set the penetration material on the weapons geometry

what is iH_mod?

#

and why is "iH_mod required = 0.33" is enough to kill any human target without bodyarmor?

vagrant idol
reef shore
#

yes

vagrant idol
#

iH_mod is the damage value for target between 1 indirectHitRange and 4 indirectHitRange. 1 iHR causes full damage while 4 iHR won't damage the target.

#

You have that cool graph how damage deteriorates when the blast range is bigger

reef shore
#

ok so for example at iH=85, what is the damage value dealt at 4xiHR? as i dont think the a damage value of 0.33 is enough to kill a human target

vagrant idol
#

indirectHit_mod = indirectHit * 1/ x^4 so 85 * 1 / 4^4 = 0.33

#

And it's a damage to a hit point, not to the whole target. I'm not sure tho how do the npc hitpoints look like unless those are bodyparts, so you get the 0.33 damage to each limb
