reforger_questions

[austere nimbus]

I'm sure they have, but since Enfusion is a completely new game engine it has to be built in from scratch.
So IF they decide to implement it they will, otherwise mods will most likely be able to do it instead.

[odd cloak]

Are F-13 - F-24 keys are not recognized by game or just can't be used in controls for some reason?

[foggy ridge]

unfortunately, reforger wasn't tested using passenger aircraft control panels as input devices

[main bone]

Ok so i have a couple of questions-
I have a private server running the arland combat ops scenario and I’d like to create a 3km X 3km island with a permanent MOB and spawn point in the bottom left of the map in the ocean.
Is it possible to download the map and scenario and just make the island without changing the scenario? Would it need to be a mod? Is there a tutorial out there to watch or read?

[stray blade]

Mod. Check enfusion modding groups below

[foggy ridge]

can't edit the terrain itself for arland/everon so your base can pretty much only be made through props like concrete blocks

[vivid tundra]

What’s the name of the mod that contains the multi coloured m88 uniforms?

[fresh island]

hello friend do you know of a mod that me and my friends can find each other on the map

?????

[digital crane]

LAB6 Markers

[odd cloak]

and ArmA 3 was?

[sand verge]

ive never seen a keyboard with anything more than F12

[odd cloak]

https://i.imgur.com/plqrX50.jpeg now you have. Gamers also use F13-F24 keys on the mouse.

Anyway, I don't have an F13 on my keyboard myself. The idea was to bind CapsLock as F13 and use it as PTT for radio. I don't remember ever using capslock and it's just annoying that it turns on when you talk on the radio. F13 worked on Arma 3, I don't see why it couldn't work on Reforger. I tried using numpad 0 (i don't have a numpad on my keyboard either), but unfortunately you can't bind hold or double-tap functions besides the default ones in Reforger for now. I understand that the game is in early stages, I hope it gets introduced later

[quaint copper]

I need two external keyboards
One with a numpad for streaming and one with F keys for extra button binds in games

Comes in handy for shit like Arma 3 being able to bind things like gestures and callouts to buttons

[versed chasm]

Anyone know how to fix mods from not downloading?

[digital crane]

do you have a lot of mods downloaded or is your game freezing?

[orchid jewel]

It’s just cancelling his mods from downloading

He’s un installed and reinstalled the game. He has clear his reserved space. He has trying installing them one by one nothing works

[versed chasm]

Pretty much what rocky said

[foggy ridge]

broken for almost 3 weeks now, just wait for patch

[dusk echo]

I have a curious problem.
I play on 42" 4k screen which is OK for playing console from couch,but when I sit on desk,it's too big so I play(ed) reforger in windowed 1440p screen.
For few weeks now, windowed mode doesn't work properly.
What happens is gameplay is fine but when I look at map,open inventory or setting,the whole window flickers and is blurry. Anyone else know what might help.
I reinstalled game,drivers,fiddled with options,and no matter what I do problem persists. Which is shame since it was working fine before

[stray blade]

Try deleting profile folder or just rename it for backup purposes, and then do the settings again.

[versed chasm]

Sounds good

[serene kayak]

Is there going to be a 3DEN equivalent? Not seeing anything on the roadmap

lacking that is there a way to make custom loadouts for players in multiplayer without them having to rekit after respawn?

[austere nimbus]

Yes, however (most likely) not for Reforger.
Arma 4 will (almost certainly) have an in-game mission editor like 3den, but no official information has been given about it yet.

And it might be limited to PC due to the complexity that comes with it, but that's a personal thinking process.

[stray blade]

So in short, mostlikely no.

[serene kayak]

bummer

that and revive are key elements for realism units

[stray blade]

Revive is in game already just disabled. And probs not final version.
You have mods that enable it.

[serene kayak]

Yea, i've got to do some testing, it looks like Heliongaming's version is the most stable from what I've seen so far. But it is very rudimentary at the moment

[stray blade]

Probably the reason why its disabled.

[wild lava]

afaik you can still make missions in workbench ¯_(ツ)_/¯ but it require more effort

[serene kayak]

Yea for sure.

I played around with the editor for awhile but didn't find a way to make custom characters/loadouts. Gonna have to keep digging

[valid shale]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Faction_Creation here you have some info about it

[serene kayak]

Awesome, much appreciated!

[native silo]

Has fuel consumption been added?

[cerulean token]

Don't think so, not yet. But you can run out of fuel due to a ruptured fuel tank and the vehicle won't start.

[sand verge]

all the vehicles by default have 3/4 tank the uaz carries 40L and has a range of 650km if its one to one its going to take a really long time to run out of fuel

[austere nimbus]

Technically it's implemented (and working), but refueling is not working yet, so consumption kept at a low rate for gameplay purposes.

40L for 650KM isn't too bad (pretty realistic actually), but for gameplay purposes it would make sense to speed this up (configurable in server/game settings).
For Conflict it doesn't really matter, because by the time you run out the game is over anyway (or you've been blown up)

[void reef]

can AI not drive vehicles?

[heady silo]

how do I fix arma reforger when it says "Engine Installation Error"

[random cape]

Not yet... it's supposed to come in future updates (no public ETA)

[heady silo]

anyone?

[signal spruce]

1. Please don’t “bump” your questions.
2. #reforger_troubleshooting might be a better channel for this. We’ll need more information about your issue.
3. If you haven’t already, try verifying your game files through Steam.

[chilly solar]

What mods are good on reforger

[silent crypt]

Is there some kind of trick I’m missing in GM to make AI roam an area? Or to make the defend circle bigger?

Also no way to make AI auto respawn?

[stray blade]

None avalible in gm

[nocturne bough]

What is the dc for frosty's milsim server

Im tryna join up and get the mods downloaded but they locked the server

[lean gazelle]

Is there any way to change the key binds on Xbox? I use a mkb because my pc is ooc right now. And there’s a hot key to delete a key bind but it’s non functional and are there plans to make a separate control configurations tab for mkb/gamepad? Just curious tyia

[primal bronze]

will reforger ever go on sale ?

[zealous mortar]

No

Maybe after release but no sooner then that

[sacred mesa]

not yet, they have to

[serene kayak]

can you use custom mods on a multiplayer server that have not been pushed to the workshop?

[foggy ridge]

yes, but you cannot use workshop mods at the same time as non-workshop mods

[serene kayak]

will the server push the non-workshop mods to players or will they have to have them separately?

[foggy ridge]

clients will need to have the mod already

[serene kayak]

gravy, much appreciated! Thank you

[foggy ridge]

note that I haven't actually tried playing on a server this way, I just remember it being possible with the addons parameters

[serene kayak]

obviously there is sparce documentation, but do you think it would work the same way arma 3 does? We upload the modset to the server via FTP and point the config file to those rather than the workshop?

[foggy ridge]

no, the config file is for workshop mods

non-workshop mods are loaded in via startup parameters https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Startup_Parameters#addons

[serene kayak]

awesome, thank you very much for the help

[maiden forge]

Will the new update have the remaining features from ground support or will we have thing's from air assault

[tepid torrent]

they will add what was promised from ground support before we start flying

[hazy bluff]

Would be cool if they added bulletproof vests anyway?

[zealous mortar]

Shrapnel and projectile protection simulation will come along with PASTG vests in the Air assault update, I'm assuming you'll be able to make functioning vests with this

[sand verge]

how do i fix the stalling stuff & failed to start

[maiden forge]

In the roadmap it says supply will change from supply depot to warehouse what Will this mean if anyone knows

[cerulean token]

In the future you will have to raid FIA warehouses to get supplies and they won't automatically replenish over time. That's what it means afaik.

[sand verge]

Will there be an official BI youtube series for modding? If not, I think that would really benefit beginners. Even if it is just echoing what is in the wiki, seeing it in a video format would be awesome

[tepid torrent]

they have released a few videos that show some enfusion basics, most of the info though that you will use is in the biki also the sample mods are quite nice as well, i cant see them doing a completely separate channel YET because of development focus

[karmic birch]

Where can I find the roadmap?

[tender oak]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/news/roadmap

[karmic birch]

The roadmap sounds promising, I guess we are in the first milestone or not even there yet?

[maiden forge]

First milestone is basically done just a few features which didn't get added

Because Bohemia said they're going to do smaller instalments instead of massive ones

They said they're going to start 2023 strong but we haven't had a content update since December so hopefully we get something this month

[kindred talon]

I’m hoping so too man become I’m out here drying up rn

[lean gazelle]

Is there a way to adjust the overall ai accuracy in game master? They are brutal sometimes 😂😭

[maiden forge]

Ikr the games getting a bit boring with the lack of content but I still play anyway

[maiden forge]

I also hope they rework the ai because they're terminators at the moment

[kindred talon]

The AI mod kinda fixes the issue and allows you to customize their accuracy

[slow pagoda]

Is there a question

[quartz lance]

Nope sorry my bad...

[deft fjord]

can’t open solo game master, any fixes?

[digital crane]

are you on xbox?

[deft fjord]

yes

[digital crane]

is your game crashing when you try to load solo gamemaster? if so you might have too many mods downloaded

[deft fjord]

nah it just freezes.

[digital crane]

i’d maybe try disabling some mods and try again

[frigid radish]

Will they add civilians?

[slow pagoda]

nobody knows. The current game modes do not need ciivilians though.

[fallow venture]

Drivable AI is still a thing, no?

[quartz lance]

They failed to pass their driver license test.
But yes they still practicing to get it done.

[random cape]

What HorribleGoat said; civilian vehicles are on the roadmap in Air Assault (S1203 Minibus; this is the Škoda 1203 from Arma 2) and Final Strike (S105, Flatbed truck; the former is the Car from Arma/Arma 2's Car, in turn a variation on Cold War Assault's Skoda), and civilian clothes in Final Strike milestone, but no mention of civilian characters

[slow pagoda]

Well Id suppose one can put together a civilian with those. 🤔

unless there is no proper civilian behavior to put on em.

only time will tell

[sand verge]

arma civilian behavior run in front of the cross fire and go prone next to enemies

also block any and all staircases

[sacred mesa]

read the planned update. civilians are expected in future updates.
If we have civilian clothes you can create unarmed bots dressed like this and put them in cities

[sacred mesa]

Civilians are expected in future updates

[granite oar]

Can i report 2 people that just come into my official game master and instantly voted me out and kicked me out of the server after I had spent almost an hour setting my stuff up?

[digital crane]

Probably not, why not just use solo gamemaster mode?

[maiden forge]

In the roadmap for air assault it says they’ll add different types of supplies like ammunition and building will ammunition be how many mags at an armoury?

[wispy solar]

Any mods for binoculars with rangefinder?

[granite oar]

It's happened multiple times with the same dude. I'm trying to set up a good op for others and these guys have ruined it twice.

[digital crane]

the RHS Status Quo mod has some range finders

[wispy solar]

Thanks

[sand verge]

No? There is probably nothing like that in the roadmap

[sacred mesa]

Yes, Final Strike, under "weapons" there is an announcement of civilian clothes

[sand verge]

Ah, you're right

[hybrid locust]

Is this game worth it for 30$

[austere nimbus]

Depends on what you're expecting

[sand verge]

No

[royal ibex]

Depends on what you're expecting. But do your research and look at some of the mods you may enjoy.

But if I was to give my personal opinion I would say I don't think so. Maybe towards the end of the roadmap Bohemia posted then it would be worth the money.

This game is slowly getting better with each update however, the future is bright.

[hybrid locust]

thank you both

[half locust]

no they are not, civilian vehicles are expected though

[sacred mesa]

civilian clothes are expected... it means that if you deploy a faction of unarmed people dressed in civilian clothes you created civilians 😉

[half locust]

so in the final strike according to roadmap (https://reforger.armaplatform.com/news/roadmap) there are civilian clothes, but there has been no mention of a civilian side (on top of the existing refor / bluefor / fia)

[sacred mesa]

I know... there aren't even strikers or night vision goggles in the roadmap 😂but if I have civilian clothes available and I have a modder capable of creating an addiction-related faction, I've created civilians ✌️
The real problem is that if I start putting down 50 civilian bots in each village The gamemaster has such a delay that if he places an object he sees it materialize the next day... And right after the server explodes 😂

[half locust]

this particular channel is for questions in regards to the game, not community made modifications, hence my reply still stands.

following your own particular logic, you could create your own civilian clothes right at this point in time (if you would use a PC version of the game at the very least), don't even need to wait on BI to make it happen, so it is a bit of a moot point

[sand verge]

how to save workshop mods to other disk? it saaves all downloaded mod in C disk

[stray blade]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Startup_Parameters#addonDownloadDir

[buoyant gust]

The gamemaster has .. a delay
It will be fixed with next update, it's not perfect, but it should be a reasonably small delay.

[foggy ridge]

some streaming fixes? right now the only way to get rid of the delays is to change streaming and staggering budgets

[tepid torrent]

i feel for you man, happens to a few people they use their time to set something up and two or more dudes who are friends just vote to kick you and take control of the server, its really disrespectful but i don't see how it can be fixed

[stray blade]

Only way to fix it is to use private server.
On public democracy prevails and since 2 > 1, they win, regardless if its fair or unfair.

[quaint copper]

Me and three buddies killed off a 25 player battlegroup on our own

@prime wigeon was our squad leader during that, he can personally attest to this

I can tell you now, numbers are not what makes or breaks a team, cause I've seen a group of 8 Russians win a match of conflict against a team of 19 us

And I've been apart of groups that either hold off huge numbers of enemies and distract them from the objective, or just outright curb stomp whoever is defending objectives

The US tend to be dudes that roleplay, it's where all the new players are
The soviets tend to be sweaty

[tepid torrent]

honestly i play a decent amount of both factions, but i love the games russian vehicles so nyet!

[sand verge]

I heard someone was making a rocket artillery truck? Was that a false rumour or will I be able to make a Bosnian artillery unit eventually?

[sand verge]

I can testify for that last part😆even when I just bought the game I was a sweaty little rat

[sand verge]

why is the arma reforger tools so complicated?

and nearly no documentation either

[half locust]

??

compared to what precisely?

[sand verge]

the folder structure etc

[austere nimbus]

Enfusion is indeed more complicated than the RV engine, but also way more mature and up-to-par with Unity and Unreal Engine (development wise).
If you ever worked on modern game engines then Enfusion isn't very different.

But I agree the documentation is still lacking, but so is the engine itself. It's still under heavy development, so the documentation will follow when it has stabilized a bit.

[sand verge]

ok i see

[austere nimbus]

I guess the best way to word it is "why is the RV engine so simple?"
Answer: because it's an almost 20 year old game engine 😉

[half locust]

actually, is not all that simple tbh, and don't really start me with the toolset

[sand verge]

i have never used unity, unreal or any game engines etc only the source engine. Guess ill have to learn this high tech tools then lol

[half locust]

it isn't high tech, but is more in line with previous mentioned than the former

[scenic fable]

hey, does anyone know how to increase FPS? my specs are:

Ryzen 7 3700X
Radeon RX 5700
16gb 3200mhz RAM

my CPU is sat at around 40% util
my GPU is sat at around 30% Util

But my FPS stays at around 30fps. i have Vsync turned on and FPS cap set at 144hz. is there something im missing? it appears the game just using using enough of my hardware but i have no clue.
(Ping me because i probably wont see otherwise)

[quartz lance]

Trace Snow Owl has the same problem with 30 FPS limit.
May try disable Vsync and test lower refresh rates like 75 or 90hz.

[sand verge]

I think there is something wrong with how the fps is being read by software. because my overlay will sometimes say NA or be at 40 fps while my monitor will say 80. its usually one to one in other games.

[quartz lance]

What do you use to dispLay FPS? Afterburner? ReShade?

Or In-Game?

[foggy ridge]

I count the frames myself

[quartz lance]

That's probably the most accurate way. 👍

[sand verge]

i use amd overlay

[quartz lance]

I use MSI AB and ReShade and bouth are always correct and in sync.

[jagged bay]

Hey I have a question for people running a game master server on Nitrado, how do I restart the server without all the files resetting?

[stray blade]

You cant

[jagged bay]

Then how do I load in new mods?

[jagged bay]

So it’s supposed to reset all the general settings?

Btw if anyone was having troubles in config files like I was just click the option “Append To Log Files”

And resting it did absolutely nothing, mods did not load in

[jagged bay]

Disregard that

They still got removed

I hate this so much

[stray blade]

Oh u mean ur config gets reset? I meant like your ingame progress

That shouldnt happen...

[jagged bay]

Yeah I have no idea how to fix it

I I was going to send pictures but unfortunately I can’t

Anytime I click the restart button the general settings and all the files disappear

[umbral oasis]

That does not happen for mine bro. Idk.

Here’s a question. Is there a way to make CTI persistent on your nitrado server?

[stray blade]

No

[sand verge]

Hello I have a question, if I get ARMA 3 reforger can I still use the mods from the regular ARMA 3? Such as RHS etc.

[quartz lance]

Hi! There is no "ARMA 3 reforger" it's "Arma Reforger" or "Arma 3" and no A3 and Reforger are not compatible due to using different engines.

[tepid torrent]

wow there's an "arma 3 reforger" !

[sand verge]

Ok so in that case I will not be able to use RHS mods then

[quartz lance]

RHS already made it's way to Arma Reforger!
Check the "ENFUSION - MISCELLANEOUS > enf_showcases" section there you can find it. 😉

[digital vortex]

guys noob question, I was finishing my mission, I bundled it than I got an error my workbench crashed and now my mission files are Read-Only. Idk how to fix it any ideas?

[quartz lance]

Try to delete the bundled file.

Look's like your bundled .pak is overriding your source files that's why they Read-Only.

[digital vortex]

tried but no success

[foggy ridge]

is your project folder in the same place as arma reforger downloaded mods?

[digital vortex]

no it's in my games reforgerworkbench

[quartz lance]

You must have something doubled in any of the Reforger profile folders.
Not sure if Workbench or the Default profile folder.
Check this. I had this problem as well and turned out i had the same thing twice which was overriding the other.

[digital vortex]

one thing I noticed is that when I open my project I have a bunch of folders there instead of an addon.gproj like the other projects I have tehre

[quartz lance]

In worst case use CLI: -clearsettings with workbench once to make a full reset of it.

It will factory reset Workbench.

[digital vortex]

would I lose my project?

[quartz lance]

Don't think it will solve it but you can try.

Nope it just resets all workbench settings.

[digital vortex]

where can I find it?

[quartz lance]

It's a command line input just add -clearsettings to your workbench shortcut at the very end.

[digital vortex]

oh ok

[quartz lance]

Start workbench double click on "Arma Reforger" project so it opens workbench than close workbench remove the CLI and that's it.

[digital vortex]

nop

[quartz lance]

Yeah well... My guess keeps any of the profile folders.

[foggy ridge]

post screenshot of your opened project and your project folder somewhere please, like #reforger_workbench

[sand verge]

ARMA Reforger unlike ARMA 3, Reforger does not have a lot have a large collection of mods in the workshop.

[sand verge]

And I cannot use ALIVE mod and make custom factions in Reforger like what I did in ARMA 3

[quartz lance]

Well it was the same with Arma 3 when it was released.
The only reason why A3 has that much to offer is cuz it's almost 10+ year's.
Lot of time for ppl to create mods compared to the 6+ months when Reforger was released.

[hasty night]

Atim did u create the marker mod?

If so how easy would it be to create a separate map for each faction?
I.e... US forces could search dead ruskis and see what there map reveals

[foggy ridge]

there's a thread for it in one of the showcase channels

[hasty night]

Thank u very much
It's been a long time mate hope ure doing okay

[raven nymph]

If i own reforger on xbox can i still use the workbench on PC or do i have to get a PC version of reforger as well?

[half locust]

need to also own the PC version since workbench requires game data

[raven nymph]

Gotcha. Thank you 🙏

[digital cargo]

if only Xbox account's games is sharing between PC and Xbox (cuz microsoft) so you can have 1 game on two platform that would be great

[half locust]

why would they waste 30% of a possible sale?

[austere nimbus]

And Microsoft can't control Steam, so it would mean Reforger needs to be published via the MS Store, which is terrible in many many ways...

[raven nymph]

Tbh I enjoy reforger so much i dont mind getting both Im just worried my potato wont be able to run it 😂 il have to do some research

[half locust]

DX12 GFX card is one of the mandatory requirements

[sand verge]

So where is the steamworkshop for Reforger where I can just click subscribe and the mod I want will download?

[sand verge]

@pseudo gyro Yes? is there anything wrong with what I said?

[half locust]

Steam Workshop is not used this time around, BI have their own workshop. You can access it ingame

or here without being able to subscribe - https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop

[dire island]

Is reforger ever coming to PlayStation?

[random cape]

Officially, yes a release for PlayStation was planned as of when a dev (I believer Nillers the community manager) last answered this question. In practice, no ETA thanks to the roadmap being thrown out in favor of 'no more timeline, it gets done when it gets done'.

[sand verge]

@half locust Thank you, but now that you are here care I ask more questions

[half locust]

you care

[steel basalt]

Playstation doesn't allow early access usually, so probably not until after the early access has finished

[sand verge]

@half locust

1. If you do not know ALIVE Orbat maker then lets skip this, but i you do, does Reforger have something like that, ALIVE Orbat maker where I can make custom factions

2. In your opinion how does the the Edin editor in ARMA 3 compare to ARMA Reforger edin editor

3. Assuming you have Reforger installed, did RHS import all their uniforms, weapons to Reforger?

[half locust]

1. no idea, ask (one of) the author(s) directly
2. There is no Eden Editor for Reforger, or similar alternative anywasy.
3. Not only i own reforger, i am one of the RHS devs. And no, RHS did not, nor it will use all of its A3 assets in Reforger. Some will be redone from scratch, some will be used, some will be scrapped

[sand verge]

@half locust Alright lets skip question 1, now for question 2 and 3. So since Reforger has no Edin editor I cannot like ARMA 3 make custom missions, and for the 3rd question, since you are one of the developers, are you aware of the Russian VSR uniform or Flora uniform has been brought into ARMA Reforger

[half locust]

2. you can use the workbench (read modding toolset for Enfusion/Reforger) for that one. Is a bit more technical than the real time 3d ingame mission editor (Eden), but you can do pretty much anything with it
3. yes - https://discord.com/channels/105462288051380224/1050079312977596426 - specific Thread for RHS Status Quo, also read the pinned messages

[sand verge]

join public servers, they are full of wildlife

[quartz lance]

Downloaded Mods are in: "C:\Users\YourName\Documents\My Games\ArmaReforger\addons"

[radiant lantern]

out of curiosity dose anyone know when the next update is out? or just the rest of the last one

[sand verge]

sort of, but not really 😄

[steel basalt]

Surely it's when it's ready

[molten saffron]

Is there a way to add mod packs (with multiple manifest files) into a nitrado server for arma Reforger? The mods that run with it don’t seem to be installing and I don’t know how/why, if anyone has a link that would be neat

[glad lantern]

I think you could make a 'mod pack' by making a mod which simply depends on other mods, then list just this one mod on your server

[sand verge]

If I understand C++ on Unreal Engine 5 , how much will that knowledge be transferable to learn Enfusion modding?

[foggy ridge]

yes

[valid kayak]

You cannot upload the mods yourself with nitrado. When you add mods in your json and start your server, the server wil try to start and if it is missing mods it wil download them. The problem is that there is no way to check if it actually downloaded everything ok because you cannot see the addon folder on the server. Even if you ftp into the server. I had issues where it said it started and kept running, but the server did not show up in the server browser. In the end there was probably a mod I ran a while back that got updated and the server cannot update the mod itself. And since you cannot get into the addon folder on the server to delete it yourself, the only fix was to do a complete reinstall of the server.

[molten saffron]

I’ve been adding individual mods into the config file atm

But I am having trouble with the mods that have dependencies mentioned in the json file

[valid kayak]

Of you enable the mods in reforger and start gamemaster do they all work?

I don’t add anything that I cannot get running locally

Some dependencies really gave me a headache

[glad lantern]

I think it will be easy for you then.

[amber fog]

If i have mods enabled it doesnt allow me to play is that normal or?

[glad lantern]

Doesn't allow you to play in what way?

[amber fog]

Just said that it failed to start

[glad lantern]

It means that one or more of the mods are broken or outdated

or a combination of some mods is

are you trying to join some server?

[amber fog]

Nah

[amber fog]

Oh thanks

Does it specifically say the mods or just list the mods i have installed

[glad lantern]

just all which you have enabled

if you are on PC then you can check the log file what it complains about

[amber fog]

How do i do that?

[glad lantern]

Go to Documents\My Games\ArmaReforger\profile
There is a console.log file
Check it right after the game shows this message
Search for errors, they are marked with (E)

[amber fog]

Does the (Canceled) Refer to the action or that the error was fixed?

[glad lantern]

What do you mean?

[amber fog]

I realise i might be in the wrong channel

Mind if we move to #reforger_troubleshooting ?

[dusty kiln]

Hey im trying to install the night vision mod on my xbox and everytime it reaches 64% it cancels it and doesn't install. I've done the basic try again, restart game, restart xbox, is there anything way I can solve this?

[peak thunder]

un subscribe from the mod delete it then re download.

[dusty kiln]

How do I unsubscribe from the mod?

[peak thunder]

https://gyazo.com/2af177a4b01729a5a946ecd6ecbf5583

[dusty kiln]

I don't have it installed in the first place tho

[peak thunder]

pc or xbox?

[dusty kiln]

Xbox

[peak thunder]

Can't help you there.

[dusty kiln]

All good ill see what I can do

[sacred mesa]

first delete the game data saved in memory and reinstall the mods.
when a bug download mod is difficult to recover if you don't get the "delete" option

[dusty kiln]

That sucks, alright thanks man ill do that and let you know if it worked

[quartz lance]

What exactly does "SCR_" mean? Something Chimera Reforger?

[valid shale]

script

[quartz lance]

Oh ok. Thx 🙂

[dusty kiln]

It worked but I gotta redownload 8gbs of mods and my Australian internet is ass

[dire island]

Reforger still in early access?

[steel basalt]

Yes, until all 3 phases of the roadmap are complete. We've not quite had the whole of phase 1 yet

[silent crypt]

I think they will be really quick with the roadmap though, maybe even as early as 2050

[dusty kiln]

Lmao

[foggy ridge]

always has been

[maiden forge]

That's quite optimistic 2060 is my estimate

[gleaming moss]

How come 1 day I can get into a server and the next day I try and join it says I cant because selected mods. Now I've had this game a since it came out and everything is still the same

Or its asking me to free up space which I've got plenty of space. Game makes no sense. Any help would be appreciated

[stray blade]

Free space is related to only 10 gb of storage reserved for the game. Ask for cant start with selected mods, its down to mod updating issue, delete them and redownload

[frigid radish]

Will be added controller vibration in xbox?

[quartz lance]

What does "Chimera" means?
Does it refere to the greek mythology chimera?

[quaint copper]

Chimeras are generally a combination of many creatures fused together, either through magic as the fantasy reasoning or through DNA splicing as the scifi reasoning

[quartz lance]

Okay thx. 👍

[hollow sequoia]

Anyone know a good way of doing gamemaster custom game with 2 people and AI? Without me having to switch from gamemaster every second to spawn in new enemies or objectives?

[dire island]

BRUUHHH

so it came 5 months ago and its still in roadmap phase one

[steel basalt]

basically, yes

there were issues that really needed fixing before extra content

hence my repeated comments that we'll likely get the content when its ready and not a moment sooner

as it should be

[austere nimbus]

They could have released Phase 2 by now, sure.
However in that case 90% of the people wouldn't be able to play due to disconnects and bugs, and the other 10% could only play on official servers since mods would break everything and custom servers would run at all.

[steel basalt]

^that

[tepid torrent]

when will soviet get more uniform camouflage variants...

[sand verge]

My game plays official fine, but as soon as I get to try and play on a modded community, crashes instantly. Xbox btw, reinstalling rn to see if it fixes.

[eternal heart]

Good luck

[tepid torrent]

how advanced currently is arma reforgers ballistics compared to arma 3's?

[quartz lance]

So far my guess is it does what it's supposed to do.
Many base systems of Enfusion are in a entry lvl with much potential once fully implemented and improved/optimized.
You can enable projectile tracking and some other ballistic visuals and calculations in "Diag Menu > GameCode > Projectiles > Show shell trajectory".

[hollow sequoia]

I have a mod that I need called 3rd ranger battalion mod pack and it won’t install, anyway to fix it?

It freezes my game after I install

[tepid torrent]

ok thanks for the tip

[slow pagoda]

wasnt that the banned one?

[hollow sequoia]

I got no clue

[slow pagoda]

if it is, you wont be able to use it

[hollow sequoia]

Huh but it’s enabled on an active server im trying to join

[slow pagoda]

pick another server perhaps

[hollow sequoia]

U got any recommendations for arma RP servers on Xbox, other then elan?

[slow pagoda]

no, I dont play that

but also 3rd ranger mod is not the banned one I was thinking of

you should be able to subscribe to it in the workshop

[hollow sequoia]

I can’t for some reason

It just freezes

[tepid torrent]

yeah mods have been acting a bit silly lately

[digital crane]

is it installed but says it has an update? if so delete it and reinstall it.

[foggy ridge]

workshop stuff is broken for over a month now

[shut cosmos]

Feels like the original mod issues we dealt with a week or two after EA came out <_>

[foggy ridge]

last time it was broken was before xmas

[shut cosmos]

Yeah but they fixed a long time ago, then it came back with the feature updates again (Around xmas)

My point is it was shit on release, they fixed it and it was semi-okay for 4-7 months, then they fixed it in november I think? Then it broke around xmas

[sacred mesa]

download directly from the workshop

[random cape]

Might I quote the second sentence over in #reforger_discussion?

[foggy ridge]

yes, it's a bit disappointing that we are now dealing with broken workshop for a month, especially since implementing a hotfix for it would have taken minutes

[molten saffron]

Is nitrado the only one who hosts for arma Reforger?

[stray blade]

No

[sand verge]

are custom made shaders going to be a possibility in the enfusion engine?

[foggy ridge]

man I hope so

[astral iris]

how do i fix the mods not compileing?

im getting messages that claim the game script cannot be compiled. I am not Shure what happened, went from playing just fine with two mods to having six mods and suddenly no mods at all work. I have already verified the game files and have checked each and every mod to see if one in particular had buggered it all

[quartz lance]

Sure.
Well it's just my general personal thought of Enfusion after messing with it for 8+ month's.
Would be for sure iteresting to hear other's thought's on this very topic as well. 👍

[magic pebble]

SOldiers and vehicles don't render after ~500 meters. Any idea which setting is responsible for that?

[stray blade]

Server setting max network distance, ussualy set at 500, is my guess

[glad lantern]

check console.log to see which mods fail to compile, most likely they are outdated

[amber vector]

B.I What was the idea behind mapping the inventory radial wheel to the xbox menu button and then putting the VOIP and radio for LB? Should those buttons be swapped?

[eternal heart]

No

Bad idea for xbox
Imagine using select as radio toggle

[foggy ridge]

imagine using xbox gotem

[silent crypt]

Imagine having other things to spend money on 😂

[sand verge]

Come on. Be nice both of you.

[tall hawk]

Did somebody already create a tank?

[stray blade]

Yes, but it has wheels stead of tracks.

[granite sandal]

Anyone know what the version of the MD500 was before the latest update on the Mod? Thanks.

[somber panther]

Anyone have a suggests on a clothing Modder?

[lusty vector]

Will this game support tracked vehicles like at least m113 for US?? Or just a tracked thing in the editor for modders can make tracked mods

[half locust]

#creators_recruiting

[half locust]

unknown

[somber panther]

Thank you

[jagged bay]

Ended up getting in contact with nitrado support, they told me to first turn the server off before editing the configurable files and then turn it on once your finished making edits, well now my new problem is the server won’t come back on, it will be restarting and never come on.

[foggy ridge]

reinstall your server

[atomic swift]

Is there any way to contact Workshop creators about their mods?

[foggy ridge]

best hope that their author name matches discord name

[atomic swift]

I figured as much, thank you. Well, if anyone knows how to contact Vergyy or if he reads this and is willing to chat, I would love to talk to him about his uniform mods.

[sand verge]

He has youtube chanel

[short sierra]

hey so I own a laptop and I'm connected to an external monitor, reforger used to work completely fine on the monitor but a few months later I reinstalled the game and it stays stuck on the laptop screen and not the monitor, any ideas to fix this?

[wraith kindle]

He’s also in the discord as Vergy.

[glass crystal]

I don't have reforger, but is reforger good with PVE elements? Like with Single Player gamemodes or just co-op with friends?

[stray blade]

Id wait until release

[foggy ridge]

I love it but reviews are mixed so

[quaint copper]

If you compare it to Arma 3, it's shit
If you take it on its own, it's underwhelming at best with a very simple AI and no revive mechanic

[foggy ridge]

that's where the whole subjective thing comes in, I am having way more fun playing and modding reforger outside of the stability issues

[quaint copper]

I'm having fun with it too, I just think it's bad

[magic pebble]

imo the only thing a3 has over reforger is Eden and fully developed rhs.

[quaint copper]

LAMBs too

[stray blade]

Good or bad is subjective. I meant it in a sense, like bugs, glitches also official content not fully there yet. So his singleplayer or coop will be quite dull

[magic pebble]

a3 still hold all the power because you can copy and paste units in zeus/eden

[foggy ridge]

alright you win, time for me to uninstall

[bold roost]

my mic isnt working in game how do i fix this?

[digital crane]

xbox?

[bold roost]

yes

[sacred mesa]

chat audio swapped from xbox party to game?do you use proximity voice chat or do you want to talk on the radio?to talk press LB each time (PTT function) or you are trying to lock on the transmission

[bold roost]

i know how the talking works etc. have done it before loads of times but this time didnt work

[sacred mesa]

If you already know how to talk in game then it may just be a bug... Like when you join a server and you can't move your character.Does closing and reopening the game solve the problem?

[native silo]

I had a similar problem where my game chat doesn’t work on reforger I would recommend reinstalling and if that doesn’t work try contacting Bohemia

[sand verge]

Does anyone know why my vehicles turn blue in game master when I place them?

[stray blade]

PaintTheVehiclesISpawnBlue mod?

[sand verge]

I do have mods installed but I just tried spawning some different variants and they are all different Colors

[stray blade]

Lol. I bet ya its some mod causing that

[sand verge]

Most likely

I’m gonna try going through them all

[sand verge]

The Unlife mod is not wanting to leave mod manager even after being deleted and I can’t even use game master anymore

[sand verge]

Just reinstalled the game and I think it’s been fixed

[digital crane]

Others have had the same issue and resolved it by just unplugging their xbox and plugging it back in

[meager topaz]

is anyone having the issue where if you put 3rd battalion in by it self it will work but it wont with any other mods

[sand verge]

Does anyone know how I can make AI drive vehicles?

[half locust]

not possible just yet

[sand verge]

Thanks for letting me know

[fervent quarry]

Did the MH60 Blackhawk mod break the game for anyone else on Xbox?

[digital crane]

how did it break your game?

[haughty sinew]

when is next update and what comes out?

[digital crane]

Probably in a week and a half and what ever is on experimental is what will come out

[random cape]

Maybe this time we'll get multiple updates on experimental instead of BI just pushing experimental with the performance issues introduced by this recent update to stable like before

[digital crane]

would be nice but i doubt we’ll get anything more

[random cape]

If so then the only benefit this gives for players is two weeks' notice of the changes coming

[tardy rune]

did they fix the stuff like griefing due to the zoneless buidling on experimental? because there is no way they could push that to stable without updating.

[random cape]

You'd think that, yet considering that it wouldn't be the first time the Reforger devs have done so...

[tardy rune]

they may have screwed a lot up but i place enough faith in them to say that they wouldnt

[thorn furnace]

The build gameplay needs some revisions, but it isn't clear that the problem with it is "zoneless building".

[gaunt basin]

When’s the next big update the game really needs fixing when downloading mods

[maiden forge]

May 26th 2023

[sand verge]

Does anyone know how I can play mod maps like the Afghanistan map in game master Xbox

[gaunt basin]

Is this legit

[digital crane]

no

[digital crane]

you can’t unless there a scenario attached

[gaunt basin]

Got excited then 😢

[digital crane]

the mods will be fixed before then, there will maybe be an update in a week or two depending on how long the update is in experimental.

[gaunt basin]

Hopefully the downloads WILL be fixed this time

[peak thunder]

What are the chances we get a true reflective shader in reforger? Like mirror reflective.

[jaunty fractal]

should i download the experimental version or normal version

i dont understand what the difference is

[digital crane]

one is the actual game and one is used for testing updates

[jaunty fractal]

on the actual one can i still use mods on it

is it worth it for the experimental like is it new addons and stuff or is it small tweaks to the game

[peak thunder]

You can use mods on both. Experimental is just a branch with the latest work BI has released to the public so it can be tested. Experimental can have new content compared to standard, but it can also have major problems. That's why they have them separated. Push updates to experimental first, let people knowingly test while everyone else is on stable branch. They then take the input players give them on experimental, and do more updates. Once it's stable and ready, they release an update to stable branch. Most public servers are on Stable branch as it's "Stable".

[fervent quarry]

Sorry it took so long to reply.
It’s the only mod that I’ve ever encountered that when I try to download it. It just freezes forever. It’ll will stay frozen for hours and no matter how many times I retried the download after resetting and clearing cache it won’t budge.
Gonna give it another go tonight.

[sand verge]

Sometimes it’s just best to delete the mod then reinstall which is a pain but that’s my way of fixing it

[stray blade]

That is not just yours. Thats simply the only way.

[sand verge]

True

[stray blade]

Also its not a broken mod. Its broken workshop/delievery system. Mod has little to do with it.
You will only know if mod is broken, once its downloaded fully AND then doesnt work or crashes game

[sand verge]

What’s worse is when a mod works on a server but when you go into your own solo server and it crashes

[stray blade]

Do you have exactly same mods enabled as on server?

[sand verge]

Yep

It’s like always like one that crashes lol

[stray blade]

I have no experience modding reforger. But in arma3 you had to pay special attention when it came to multiplayer scripts, eg something could work perfectly in singleplayer but not work at all in multiplayer, or vice versa.
So that might also play a factor, but then again i have no idea when it comes to enfusion.

[foggy ridge]

same thing in every video game that has online multiplayer

[stray blade]

True, but some games handle it better than others. For example (again) in arma3, trying to run a function that takes local argument, but has global effect, could be simplified, if object is not local to machine executing, function would remoteExec itself on machine where it is. Instead of scripter having to ensure that happens.

Like it takes some freedom away, but simplifies things in general. By running stuff where it should run automatically. Making function behave as intended in both sp and mp.

[mellow crater]

O my god is this a bug or something because when i add mods and try to play gamemaster singleplayer it crashes

[digital crane]

are you on xbox?

[tall hawk]

How do i fix that i see my eyes when in first person?

[digital crane]

maybe respawn might fix

[real valve]

helo everyone im haven some problems with my refoger nitrado server and was wondreing if someone here can help me out

[real valve]

take a loot at your FOV it might be to far back.

[desert tendon]

Is anyone else’s workbench mods taking forever to load or not loading at all?

[brave galleon]

I am under the minimum requirements to run the game but has anyone tried to run i7-2600+GTX 1660 Super?

[half locust]

#hardware_vs_arma might be a better pick

[fast trout]

Hello everyone, will it be possible to use mods from Reforger in Arma 4 and does it make sense to study the basics of modding in Reforger now? I apologize if I asked a question in the wrong channel (Correct if possible)

[digital crane]

If i remember correctly the devs said mods made on reforger should be easily ported to Arma4 because they are on the same engine.

[austere nimbus]

Good question (and correct channel).
At this point we do not know if Reforger mods will be fully compatible with Arma 4, however since the same engine is used (Enfusion) chances are very big it will be easy to make them work (if not directly)

[fast trout]

Perfect, thanks!

[mellow crater]

No.... Sorry it took me forever to respond.

[digital crane]

did you ever get it figured out?

[mellow crater]

Nope

I mean Kinda

Cause like I deleted all of the mods and redownloaded them and it works fine now I don't understand what I do if it happens again??

[digital crane]

it happens to me on xbox sometimes, usually there’s just a mod that just crashes or if i have too many mods it will crash so i usually just disable a few and it works again.

[mellow crater]

Also this happens to me alot.

@digital crane its happening again i disabled everymod and its saying failed to start with the current selection of mods and there is NOTHING!! this game.

[stray blade]

Like a wise man once said "E sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe shit"

You sure you have no mods loaded and are you joining server or singleplayer?

[mellow crater]

No single player.

[stray blade]

And if you go to workshop > mod manager > enabled (right panel) is empty?

Also are you starting vanilla scenario or modded scenario?

[mellow crater]

Vanilla

And yes it is empty

[stray blade]

What scenario are you trying to run?

[tardy rune]

i thought one big reason for reforger is that mods will be ready to go on a4 launch day

[quaint copper]

That's just sugarcoating and making things seem better than they are
You poor, poor, naive fool, listening to Bohemia and taking their words at face value

Best case scenario it'll take decent amount of work to port mods to A4 from Reforger
Worst case scenario, and likeliest scenario, they won't work at all, and only asset mods will be easy to port

[tardy rune]

sure

[amber imp]

is there a way to change ai difficulty

[tawdry citrus]

When will we expect the helicopter to come?

[quaint copper]

When it comes ™

[tawdry citrus]

But when?

[supple wigeon]

Honestly man no clue the updates have been going slow most of the ground support features haven’t been released yet so it’s going to be a while before we see air assault

[quaint copper]

Read the roadmap
They're gonna add everything from Ground Support before they touch the air assault update

It has been ten months since launch and they haven't reached the first milestone
So helicopters should be in the vanilla game in about 12 months

[flint nest]

Right now they're trying to add everything slower on purpose, they're trying to give everything proper testing and they're trying to fix on the longstanding problems that are still here. See one of the biggest outfielders ever running into as players is we can't figure out why the hell we're getting disconnected from the servers, they can't either and it's becoming enough of a problem that they really have to fight to get it

[quaint copper]

Have you seen how buggy the new update is? Their slow updates are a farce

They're gonna be just as buggy as usual

[flint nest]

Basically what we're waiting for is once they actually come to a stable build that won't cause multiple disconnects, that's when they're going to be able to fully focus.

And no they're not actually the newer update to the experimental build is at least incrementally better, now you have to take it from a different perspective you want this game done then and now when I get that I want it the same way.

But that is not how development works, they do not just have a work stick that they hit the game with

[quaint copper]

Half the performance issues have returned and the features they said they wanna polish and release bug free aren't even out of concept phase yet

Plus the multiple bugs associated with freeform Building as well as sheer design oversights

[flint nest]

And if you really think about it currently the build of the game is a lot better than day one and it needs a lot more fixing yes but it will be fixed at some point it's bi, to be honest it's not even their worst launch compared to Arma 3.

Now complaining about the missing features from these updates that we were supposed to get I can understand as well but why b****, we already have helicopters we already have pretty much everything except for f****** tank treads that is literally the last thing we really need at this point, and even modders have already done that.

Once the framework is done the updates will come a lot faster.

I don't even know how that's possible since I haven't published an update for the longest goddamn time to the main build, and the performance issues could just be you have a s***** computer

[quaint copper]

I'm not the only one experiencing performance issues
I have a 3060TI and a Ryzen 7 5800 X3D, the single best gaming CPU on the market
If I have performance issues then it's not a lack of a good PC it's the games lack of optimization

I've seen buildings pop in and out of existence for the first time in literal months
The framerates glitch returned and after an hour the frames drop to 2 per second
Longer loading times when spawning in

[flint nest]

I have a s***** computer too I run into performance issues all the time I've learned that I have to tweak all my settings specifically to my computer to be able to play anything. I'm also one of the main people trying to work on world war II for forger and trying to bring forward something that'll be able to be played for people with Lord judicator.

So don't take it at face value I understand what the hell's going on with the game and a lot more rights than most people would, I play it daily I try to figure out what's going on I try to help out wherever I can to crash logs.

All right so you have the most advanced gaming computer and rig correct so that means your dad or whatever you want to call it your RAM is ddr5 your processor is probably I-10 right

[quaint copper]

For every step forward they've gone two steps back
That's how it has been with every update, no exceptions

[flint nest]

Actually there's a lot of exceptions of that you say they go backwards but there are more and more people that are able to play with every update, there's a reason the population of the game has grown and has stayed grown for a while now instead of how it was dying out previously.

And they're not actually taking a lot of steps back in any area I mean you say a lot of the performance issues come back and I can tell you exactly why you have them.

Your bottleneck in your entire system on the game

[quaint copper]

Bohemias lack of transparency and apparent over ambition isnt a justification for you fanboying and saying I'm the problem

[flint nest]

You can actually solve the issue yourself by manually adjusting your system and how much of the game's able to run your system, it's called steam priorities

[quaint copper]

Calling out shitty devs is one of the best ways to get them to do their jobs better
The game should have never released in the state it did, and it shouldn't have even been announced until midway through THIS year after they havevall the features currently implemented

Imagine the better fan reception and easier development with the community if they left it baking for another year

[quartz lance]

@quaint copperYou still have that 30 FPS max. problem?

[quaint copper]

I fixed it, but in experimental it's back

[quartz lance]

k

[flint nest]

And as I was probably guessing previously when I was going to say this earlier, I'm not a fanboy actually I'm one of their biggest critics and I'm one of the people who's hoping this game succeeds and hopefully Arma 4 ends up being a good launch of due to the success of this if there is one.

I'm being realistic, I have no knowledge on how to even be able to do s*** when it comes to modding coding in any of that and I talked to some of the best ones in the community half days.

On top of that I don't even understand what you mean lack of transparency they constantly actually post something either about the game or the state of the development they just posted something recently about two or three weeks ago. If you want transparency go find a f****** glass window looking into the bi gaming studio because that's what you're asking for right now.

Tell me this did you realize that the internal testing actually didn't have as many of the failings as this did. When they did internal test they were able to do it among the other studios due to the fact they had three leading factors.

Firstly all of them were using pretty much the summer systems.

Secondly they didn't have different bouncing f****** internet problems from everywhere else

And thirdly when they were going to release it in the first place they probably didn't expect the amount of people to be coming on and trying it.

Also the reason it's back on the experimental version for you more than likely is due to the fact that the experimental version is missing a update

[quaint copper]

Tldr

[flint nest]

The problem with the experimental version no one realizes is it actually fell back by two updates but they updated it with the most recent release that they're trying to bring fixes with, so they ended up not actually understanding what they did.

Too long for you to read not my problem

[quaint copper]

Get to the point quicker and with less words

[flint nest]

See my problem with what you're trying to do now is you're trying to call out developers who are doing their job, they tried to wrap it set updates for people and it did cause problems.

They learned from that and now they're trying to take a slower approach to fix them.

[quaint copper]

"We're gonna implement all the features and wait until it's bug free before we release it, polish everything up and make it good and shiny for the community"
Releases a buggy mess

What's fucking new with modern game development? Early Access is a plague

[peak thunder]

That's a whole lot to read. Are people crying about development again?

[flint nest]

Yep, he is actually

[peak thunder]

So it's another Tuesday?

[flint nest]

Yep

Hey I'm bored so I'm just defending the developers because I understand what the hell they're going through since I had to do Lua for years. And still do.

[quaint copper]

I called out how the helicopters aren't coming for at least another few months and we got this fanboy here lording over me in defense over that simple statement

[flint nest]

And yet we have helicopters....

[quaint copper]

Modded ones
That dude asked for vanilla ones

Helicopters you can use on vanilla servers without mods, since mods are unstable

[flint nest]

Yes and I was pointing out the fact that since they're already made in modded States, once the game is fixed the update will roll out quicker

[quaint copper]

Unstable mods being another issue caused by Bohemia

[sand verge]

Vehicles are super bugged and someone wants helicopters?

[flint nest]

Yes unstable mods that are easily a fixable situation. I'm just hoping play was six and Arma sink end up getting back into place soon

[quaint copper]

It took them three months to fix the mod issue

[flint nest]

Again you treat it like coding is simple

[quaint copper]

When they could have rolled out a hot fix in a week
But no, people have to justify the longer, bigger, more buggier updates

You said yourself, Easily Fixable

[flint nest]

If you know that for sure that means you know how to code correct? I mean if you can come up with such a quick time estimation for a hot fix to be able to be made for the modding problem that is amazing and good on you.

Code is not simple, you're basically trying to speak another language where a period can f*** you up

It's easily fixable if you abandon the workshop, that's what I've been fighting for for the longest time

But I also can understand why they won't do that, I understand why they went towards fixing it instead of just bringing back steam workshop.

[quaint copper]

Then why haven't they fixed it until now and let the community die out, half the servers i know are dead because the mods refuse to update properly
An Easy Fix that could have been done in a week according to Bacon, and yet, took three months

[flint nest]

Because it wasn't a easy fix to the workshop itself, my easy fix is basically installing the files yourself using a external browser or launcher

Basically doing the same s*** I used to in Arma 2,

[quaint copper]

The game shouldn't even be out right now

If they truly wanted to eait until things were fixed and polished, they would take the game off the store and release it when it's finished

Learn from their mistakes instead of constantly repeating them like they've shown themselves to be doing

[flint nest]

Just like you do with every time you type something...

[sand verge]

do you think drakes hit song kiki do you ruv me will ever make it to refrogers?

[flint nest]

Who says it hasn't

[flint nest]

And I'm guessing that's coming from a 4-f.....

Milsim isn't always special ops.

[quaint copper]

That's called a joke for those of you without a sense of sarcasm

Some people don't seem to understand sarcasm

[flint nest]

Dude, it's a Arma discord..... We all are here joking

[quaint copper]

There's always at least 3 "Uhm, Achually"s whenever you mention literally anything lmao

[austere nimbus]

Uhm, actually...

Best read in a while this morning, makes my day.
Guess people still don't understand how development works, but still pretend they know better than the people actually developing the tool/game/code they (don't) like.

If you know it better, do it better... Build you own game engine and release it yourself...

Giving feedback is one thing, and there's an amazing tool for that (see description in #reforger_feedback), but complaining about how developers are doing a bad job because you have no idea about what they're doing is not helping anyone.

[sand verge]

Ahahah.. https://i.imgur.com/0BZmbmk.png

[slow pagoda]

@quaint copper you just have confessed to flame baiting the chat with your comments "to get devs work better" . Please stop and behave as an adult or alternatively leave if the rules of the server are not to your liking.
And no this is not oppression or censoring your opinions. This is me calling out your absolutely obnoxious and toxic behavior that has been going on for far too long.

[versed prairie]

Quick question. When I try to place things down in GM is starts off strong, but eventually everything starts to take really really long for it to load in (a.i., vehicles, buldings) I have had a server using GTX and now im on Nitrado, but ive had this issue when using both server hosts. Am I doing something wrong? Am I using too many mods on my server? Or is it just the game itself?

[stray blade]

Game itself, but more mods surely doesnt help. All the param that could make a diffrence are inacessible to you, if you are using rented server

[digital crane]

it usually happens when there is more than one gamemaster

[versed prairie]

That make so much sense

[foggy ridge]

tweaking network streaming values is a good workaround for this issue, see https://feedback.bistudio.com/T166337

[versed prairie]

Thank you ilI appreciate it

[random cape]

I'm not convinced that this would have happened, rather believing that they would have kept going without the wake-up call that has been the negative reception to this game as-is... indeed, their inability to 'fix the issues' quickly or comprehensively has cemented my belief that having 'left it baking' wouldn't have helped

[frigid radish]

will xbox controller vibration be added?

[dense axle]

Does reforger ai walk through walls?

[quartz lance]

Nope.

[random cape]

That's one clear improvement from the prior Real Virtuality-powered games

[foggy ridge]

they teleport through fences sometimes, though it might just be multiplayer desync

[sand verge]

Yes, that's a success, they even hit the door. In DayZ, they walk around 10 times before they run into it.

[magic pebble]

Early Dayz, the zombies will walk through everything. It was scary af

[lofty egret]

So Im possibly getting a next gen xbox and wondered, is Reforger any good at all in 2023?

I mean I know It's not been out long enough to show it's full potential but I am curious to know it's state in 2023.

[native silo]

Anyone want £50 to make a jet mod F-15 Eagle or SU-25 Frogfoot?

[magic pebble]

If you are looking for a finished and optimized gaming experience then no, you should wait.
If you want to have fun and assist the developers with feedback and bug report then welcome aboard.

Ngl though, sometimes you will feel the need to gouge your own eyes out.

[lofty egret]

Im loyal with games that snatch my eye easily.

I stuck loyal with cyberpunk, dayz, ghost recon series, insurgency on console, Battlefield 2042, Battlefield V, Battlefront 2, Elden ring, etc.

So Im willing to give feedback and stick loyal to reforger as long as I know the devs will still update this game.

[gusty prairie]

They'll support it until Arma 4 comes out.

[lofty egret]

Hasn't that been a dead wish? At least thats what I've heard from arma 3 players lol

[gusty prairie]

I don't think there plans beyond that. And I'm honestly not sure if A4 has been confirmed for Xbox, but I hope so.

[gusty prairie]

What do you mean?

[lofty egret]

As In people have been waiting and wishing for an arma 4 even before reforger came out

[gusty prairie]

Yeah. This is the road to A4.

That's literally the point of Reforger is to test systems and to make sure A4 is actually a decent game.

[lofty egret]

Well Im planning to get an Xbox Series/S since more milsim games are slowly making their way to console.

Hell Let Loose, Enlisted, Arma Reforger, DayZ (In some aspects), Insurgency Sandstorm

[gusty prairie]

I really enjoy A:Re, but @magic pebble is correct that you may want to pull your eyes out at times.

It's great.

When it works.

Can't speak to the stability of the Xbox version though. Gonna have to ask someone who plays on it.

[lofty egret]

That's how DayZ is on console, I want to gouge my eyes out for the bugs but I've stayed loyal to it.

[gusty prairie]

I dunno, sounds like you're looking for validation of a choice.

A:R is fun when it works and since it's cross platform, you get to have a bigger player base.

It's not stable, but. If you enjoy this kind of game then it's a fun game.

I've also been playing Arma for 20 years, so take it all with a grain of salt.

[lofty egret]

Im just wanting a perspective from someone who's experienced the majority of A:R, that's pretty much it.

[gusty prairie]

Perfect.

I haven't played GM mode much, so. That's another one of my shortfallings in this conversation then. It looks excellent. I just don't have the patience to deal with people and my group is keeping away until it's more stable and the AI are better.

Which fair.

[lofty egret]

That's perfectly understandable, I think i'll manage through the bugs and be loyal to A:R until it's done updating.

[magic pebble]

Let me put it this way. I played the game for over 600 hours, hated every second of it, will probably play it for another 600 hours and more.

[lofty egret]

Now another question about A:R, is there a good bit of mods on there for the modern day warfare?

[gusty prairie]

That sounds like a real Arma experience.

[lofty egret]

Like guns like the M249, M14 EBR, SCAR-H, SR25, and so on.

[gusty prairie]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop

I think RHS was making a modern modset. Unsure. You'd have to ask them.

Their mods were kind of the base asset pack I used in A3.

[lofty egret]

Damn the list goes on

[gusty prairie]

It's a thick list of mods.

There will be more when things are more stable.

I want ACE Reforger.

[sand verge]

No?

[gusty prairie]

Yes?

They have the roadmap of content. Won't add more past that.

But support will keep rolling out.

[lofty egret]

I'm just going to play on the next gen Xbox for now, and rack up the money for the setup I have saved for the next year or after. Thank you for giving me your POV about A:R. I'm willing to give it a big shot and be loyal to it since I am a milsim nerd.

[gusty prairie]

Find a group.

It's where Arma shines.

Imo, at least.

[sand verge]

They have roadmap which with some probability will not even be fully completed.

[lofty egret]

Oh I'm going to once I have an Xbox, I don't think a group wants to wait for my noob ass for a month lol

[sand verge]

I didn't notice that Reforger should be in development until Arma 4 comes out.

[gusty prairie]

They're planning on bug fixes, etc. as far as I've read in here.

It only behooves them to do so especially on the engine side of things.

[sand verge]

btw. you can't try Reforger on xbox as a trial?

[sand verge]

They didn't follow through on anything they planned, except for launching Reforger on the market. To make Reforger a real game, they would have to put extreme effort into it, but that will go to Arma 4.

[lofty egret]

Huh? Im confused

[sand verge]

You can try the game for free.

Or at least someone told me so.

[lofty egret]

Oh I was meaning I need to buy my xbox and I don't think a group wants to wait a month for me to buy it

[sand verge]

Ah, ok 🙂

Buy PC.

[lofty egret]

Im wanting to get all 3 platforms though

[sand verge]

Having a PC and xbox at the same time probably doesn't make much sense.

It pretty much covers each othe I guess.

[versed prairie]

Is the 3rd Ranger Battalion Mod broken right now? Crashing servers?

[digital crane]

yes, use an old version of the mod or remove it from server.

[versed prairie]

Thank you Whiplash

[stray blade]

There was already mortar made by someone, it looked funky but it worked

[eternal heart]

It hasnt been updated as far as I've seen. It's not functional so I'm more so wondering if it can be replaced and possibly fictional

[versed prairie]

Its unloadable unfortunately

[cerulean token]

Wait so this freeroam building is a small personal GM interface for every player near a supply truck ?

[quaint copper]

yes

[cerulean token]

Seems like a good way to fly as high as you can and report enemy positions to your team

[steel basalt]

I wonder if the free roam build could be added as a prefab for the scenario framework?

[austere nimbus]

most likely yes

[quaint copper]

Puts a white space up around the area youre building that you cant see out of
You also cant fly out of said white space

[cerulean token]

Oh thank god BI. Otherwise this could have been an issue.

[austere nimbus]

Sometimes BI has good ideas on how to prevent "legal cheating" 😉

[stray blade]

Looks @ armavision...

[cerulean token]

Yeah I was gonna say

Hide in a shack, fly camera out of the shack = Profit

[stray blade]

Shaktastic!

[cerulean token]

I'm surprised they took this approach though. Thought it will be an in-character build mode like most games. This certainly does give a lot more freedom, though also takes you out of the immersion I feel like. But it's a more arcade gamemode anyway. Hopefully Arma 4 will be more immersive in this regard.

[stray blade]

Building in cti in a2 also put you in zeus from wish mode.

But for example acex fortify tool lets you build stuff from character prespective

Both carry their own jank

[sand verge]

They said that there is also second concept

[cerulean token]

Was expecting a Hell Let Loose type of building. But this could be fun too, may give it a shot.

[stray blade]

Would be better if stuff would actually be built, but that would require shitloads of animations etc and prolly not worth the time

[cerulean token]

Sons Of The Forest building anims for Reforger, let's go

[sand verge]

Where you will build from character

[stray blade]

Speaking of time, id love to see building take some time

[stray blade]

Offtopic but is it any good?

[cerulean token]

I just saw it in the trailers, but me and some friends are interested. We'll see soon enough hopefully!

[stray blade]

Today...

[cerulean token]

Yup

Just waiting for a prefered streamer to give it a shot. If it's any good, my wallet will part. 😛

[stray blade]

Yeah we'll also wait for some reviews

[cerulean token]

That too ofc

[thorny quiver]

I want to buy models and get them into the workshop, obviously get it scripted etc where do I learn more about this?

[stray blade]

Buying or modding?

[random cape]

It sounds to me like Zeus development paying dividends years-down-the-road 😉

[random cape]

I don't recall whether Arma 3 Zeus supported having the player's view be obscured, but it supported both cant fly out of said white space and locking the camera position to said space so that you could only see wherever said position had line of sight to

[thorny quiver]

Sorry, to explain more specifically I want to port models ( i want to buy off a market place ) into Reforger with no prior experience

I want to know where to learn how to do this

[random cape]

You could try #enfusion_model to start... be advised though that it appears that the official modeling-to-in-game pipeline is designed around Blender

[thorny quiver]

Thanks

[versed prairie]

How do you update the game through Nitrado? Do I just reintall?

[fierce warren]

I'm wondering the same thing, but on GTX servers. My players are reporting to me that the server is up, but when they try to connect, they get a notification that they have the wrong game version.

[versed prairie]

Have you deleted and reinstalled?

[fierce warren]

No. These folks don't let me bring my XBOX to work, unfortunately.

[whole zenith]

Is there anyone that could help me out to make a small mod by chance? My new PC got delayed

[versed prairie]

Seems like a lot of the mods after the game update id breaking the servers on Nitrado

[versed prairie]

Nevermind its still the 3rd Ranger Batallion mod thats breaking shit

[fierce warren]

Do we know if it's the 3rd Range Battalion Modpack or if it's the 3RBN Weapons mod?

[versed prairie]

From what ive seen and worked on its the 3rd Ranger Battalion Modpack. Breaks the server when you spawn an arsenal box, so just remove it

[solar hazel]

I have a question, why does my game crash in pc? And how do I stop my pc from opening reforger windowed?

[tranquil narwhal]

It’s not letting me downloaded or update the 3rd Mods I deleted all my mods redownloaded them every

[vocal vale]

how do you rotate building objects on pc ?

[magic pebble]

Hold shift then use the mouse to rotate

[vocal vale]

rusty i love you

[native silo]

Just wondering if anyone is working on a L85A2 or L85A2 UGL because I see no British weapon mods

[fierce warren]

Does anybody know how to setup the reoccurring messages on your server? I think it's part of Bacon's admin tools mod.

[zealous mortar]

This is a very dumb question but how do you exit out of building mode for xbox?

[quaint copper]

Hold the same button you pressed to get into it, I would assume

[dapper scaffold]

I have a question, how do you set up a server that allows you to see who’s talkin on radio and proxy like the name with a mic shows up I know it’s in vanilla but how do you enable it

Is it an admin code thing???

[tepid torrent]

didnt that get released today?

[stray blade]

Better question is, how did you disable it in the first place,?

[foggy ridge]

might have radio and/or tag manager missing in world

[wild lava]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Server_Hosting#VONDisableUI :v

[dapper scaffold]

Which one is it?

[dapper scaffold]

Idek how he did it I’m just wondering if I can enable it

[dapper scaffold]

How would you bring it back?

[foggy ridge]

add it to the world in workbench, it exists in all vanilla scenarios so see the above config setting maybe it was turned off for your server

[dapper scaffold]

Like in the engine?

[dapper scaffold]

I’m new to this whole thing so if that was the simplest way to put that ima need it dumbed down by a lot XD

[stray blade]

Are you playing vanilla or custom scenario?

And does this not show only on your server or all of them?

[wild lava]

bruh, read description

[dapper scaffold]

Bruh the description doesn’t give anythin

[dapper scaffold]

If you mean all the servers as in if we move from GM, to conflict etc yes it doesn’t show player names when they talk in proxy and radio for all of them

[wild lava]

its on your server right?

i might be wrong but directspeechUI is for (surprise) direct speech and other one is for radios ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[foggy ridge]

you sure you aint using some mod that does this?

[dapper scaffold]

Nah again this isn’t my server I’m just tryin to help find the issue and send it to him

[dapper scaffold]

Dawg I’m not a code person or config person

[wild lava]

but you can read, right? i didnt use it myself but its how i understand this description

[dapper scaffold]

Fuck forgot you can’t send SSs but I think I found it maybe

[dapper scaffold]

Negative I got it thank you

[tardy rune]

why do the characters look so goofy. in a3 they would all have the messed up eyes and stuff, but they looked real.

[sand verge]

probably because they are not on nato issued drugs

[wise lodge]

how can i be game master in a single player scenario?

[wraith kindle]

If it’s a game master scenario you should automatically become GM. If it’s a community made scenario/mod then it may not be possible

[rapid lagoon]

If its a non GM scenario and you want to play it solo with GM rights, Then the best approach would be Hosting the Scenario yourself. You can do that in game.
Main menu -> Scenarios -> Select the one you want -> "T" To host -> Select the settings and host.

[wise lodge]

Thx

[digital crane]

has anyone had problems downloading the RHS Status Quo mod pack after the update?

[versed prairie]

How do yall deal with trolls that just wanna ruin the game, and keep joining with Alts

[digital crane]

locking your server behind a password

[versed prairie]

Thats too bad! Which we could just perma ban them. When will we get that option?

[gleaming linden]

dose anyone know how to mod your own rented servers??

[timid galleon]

How do I use the mods I’ve installed from the workshop for console?

Or how do I host server for console

[digital crane]

you can use them solo my going into gamemaster

[timid galleon]

I’m guessing I’ll have to host a server through nitrado if I want to play with friend though eh? And I can’t look left and right while Aimed in. Been awhile since I played is this a bug or always been like that

[digital crane]

restart your game if that happens and yes if you want to play with friends rent a server and mod it otherwise just play on another modded server and the aiming bug happens when you switch servers

[timid galleon]

I’m guessing nitrado can host for consoles like most games?

[digital crane]

yes but to add the mods you’ll need someone with a computer i believe

[timid galleon]

I just sold my old one to get a new one I am so upset lmao. Thank you for the quick response though man

[gleaming linden]

you should be able to do it from a laptop as well

[north bluff]

New vehicles any time soon?

[tepid torrent]

ambulances should be coming in a few months

[cloud briar]

Good morning! Just joined this discord, can someone tell me if there is a specific channel or server where devs can "find each other" for future collabs?

Or something of this direction haha

[tepid torrent]

if you mean reforger mod devs then go down to the enfusion thread, there are some really helpful chaps there!

[magic pebble]

When can admins expect tools to ban griefers on Xbox? Follow up question, should they expect such tools?

[foggy ridge]

yeah the trial thing on xbox is a bit disappointing

even if I block their IP they can just get a different one

if the trial didnt exist it would be easy

[sand verge]

What do you need it for? You can drop them from the air..

[magic pebble]

The ability to ban them is a much better and more effective system.

[sand verge]

I still don't understand why 🙂

Are you saying that the game has an insufficient server management system? Interesting.

[stray blade]

It always had. One of few online games i know that lack working perma ban system, or just timed ban.

[sand verge]

Then according to him you are a glue sniffer 🙂

[foggy ridge]

yeah imagine you need a mod to permanently ban people

[magic pebble]

What are you on paul?

[sand verge]

A few days ago you wrote that it wasn't necessary and now you're crying, so I don't know 🙂

[sand verge]

What about the paid mod? There's one on github, but it's not ready yet. That will be beautiful.

[foggy ridge]

The what

[sand verge]

https://github.com/plusflabby/arma-reforger-admin-panel

[magic pebble]

I never said that. Glue addiction does effect the memory so I will let it pass.

[foggy ridge]

Ah just the admin panel, fair. I thought actual game mod, I think they can't be paywalled.

[sand verge]

It could be a game mod that you need another service to run?

[foggy ridge]

eh, maybe, but thats a bit stinky

[sand verge]

Tough business

[foggy ridge]

especially since there are free mods that let you permaban

[sand verge]

You made one I guess? Or some tools

[foggy ridge]

sure, it still won't stop xbox trial abuse tho

[shut cosmos]

I kinda made the same thing from 2 applications to be accessed from the web, except for free, WITH access control for individual admins. But I guess I've been doing it for years with other applications without showing anyone or asking for money on a bi-monthly basis like this 'vendor' is lol

[foggy ridge]

I was just talking in context of an ingame mod, I'm sure as a service a good admin area would get you money

[sand verge]

XBox as a device has a unique ID (unlike a PC). Interesting that either BI is unable to pass it on or it's not public for third parties by MS.

[stray blade]

I think unique id is linked to account rather than physical device.
So that is why trial abuse is a thing.
Also banning by phys device id is rather meh. Since xbox can be resold.
Its like banning by mobo id on pc

[foggy ridge]

account bans are fine as long as they can't sign up for a fully featured trial immediately with an alt, I don't know how many conversions trial gets though so it might not be worth removing the trial

[sand verge]

Which would decrease the server population by 70%?

[foggy ridge]

limit trial to official servers hehe

[sand verge]

Yeah, it's probably reasonable that you shouldn't ban device ID. That's probably the dark future of PCs with TPM/MS pluton.

[stray blade]

A good question is, is there any pattern to trial ids? Like prefix/suffix to it?

[foggy ridge]

no

[true vector]

is the ai made to realisticly put hands to their face and try and cover wounds and such with their corpses? im just kinda curious

[hasty night]

Any 1 got issues with either the stryker? Rhib? Or the server name not appearing for some people?

[foggy ridge]

console.log of the server will have reason

[versed prairie]

Does anyone know how to add server messages on their Nitrado Server?

[foggy ridge]

like chat messages? not possible without mods

[versed prairie]

When I was using GTX gaming I used Bacon Admin Tools, but apparently that mod doesnt work on Nitrado?

[foggy ridge]

technically it does but nitrado's server admin panel doesn't have enough access for you to even configure it

ie. you'd edit the config file for admin tools and the server wouldn't see the changes you've made, annoying (I think GTX and logicservers works fine)

some work is being done on having the configuration happen inside the game but there is no estimate when that's done

[versed prairie]

Gotcha ok, I just wanted to add the automated 15min server messages its a shame it doesnt work on Nitrado

Thank you Bacon your the GOAT

[foggy ridge]

nitrado has some quirks that generally are disappointing (such as not being able to simply delete mod files without a complete server reinstall)

I wish things admin tools does were included in vanilla game

[versed prairie]

Would you guys agreee the more mods a server has the worse it’ll run? Whats the most number of mods you have on your server at once? How does it run?

[scenic ether]

how i can make a public server on xbox in game master with mods

[slow pagoda]

I think you need PC for hosting

[scenic ether]

I also have a computer how can I share my xbox creation on pc so that it is playable online

[slow pagoda]

you can not.

[scenic ether]

how I do

[gleaming linden]

dose anyone have the senrio id for the afgan map?

[quartz lance]

[real valve]

does anyone have a clothing mod that works and looks good. something with a bigger bag would also be nice?

[slow pagoda]

you can find the released mods on the Reforger Workshop

[real valve]

yea i know that i have gone thro a few of them some dont work so i was wondering if someone could tell me one that they are useing and that works well.

[tardy rune]

what were the release time for the theee milestones supposed to be? we all know they wont come on time, but i would like to have a rough idea.

[magic pebble]

Some time between when they are ready and when they are ready

[tardy rune]

sometime between now and my death (estimated)

[honest spruce]

Anyone know why the game keeps auto switching to window mode? Every time I launch the game it goes into windowed mode or if I adjust a setting in game it auto switches it back to windowed from borderless. It went away after the last patch but then came back yesterday

[sand verge]

The application incorrectly manages the window.

[honest spruce]

Got it, so not just me. Good to know. Thanks for answer

[stray blade]

You’re the man thank you!

[trim sky]

anyone know what the most hyped upcoming mod is?

[sand verge]

the rpg pack

[stray blade]

Id say sharks with friggin lazers... but nobody is making that

[zealous mortar]

When AI driving is released will they be compatible and able to control and drive modded ground vehicles?

[signal panther]

Will ai be able to fly helicopters

[tepid torrent]

good question, they should be able to drive cars but not sure on helicopters but i hope so

[quartz lance]

@zealous mortar If they use the same driving mechanic's vanilla does they probably should.
@signal panther Nope no official plan's for this.

[tepid torrent]

that's a real shame, they had better really fix up the issues with multiplayer and pvp if they dont plan on adding better ai features

[quartz lance]

Yeah no clue...
Sadly progress has gotten very slow those day's and yes you are right making a game focusing on PvP without proper working MP is a pretty bad outcome.
Hopefully they get back on track soon(ish)!
Now that A4 is delayed even furher Reforger should be focused even more.

[wispy solar]

Hey guys! some mods similar to Laser Target Locator Module 2 (LTLM 2)

[dapper scaffold]

Is there no way to save loadouts in conflict mode? Or is there a mod or something?

[tepid torrent]

no loadout saving in vanilla conflict, i can honestly see why this is the case but it is a bit annoying when you disconnect and have to grab it all again

[random cape]

Incorrect, klamacz said that they intend it... in the far future

[austere nimbus]

Enfusion does need AI to be able to fly (both fixed wing and rotary), so chances are big we'll see it implemented in Reforger as well (for modders to use, not for BI to added vehicles).
Although their main focus, at least for Reforger, is to implement flying at all. Because the current modded implementation is not part of the core and far from optimal (but works surprisingly well).

AI driving is on the roadmap, although overall AI improvements are (and well needed). But I do expect more advanced stuff from modders (with help of BI by opening up more parts of the engine), just as we have seen in previous games in the series.

[quartz lance]

@random cape Intend A.I. flying?
Well last thing i've heard was Reforger will have A.I. driving only if they rly implement A.I. flying even better! 😊👍
But this is new to me... Maybe i need update my database... 🤪

[glacial jacinth]

awesome man

you're a legend

[sacred mesa]

Excluding the official additions, the most awaited mod is definitely the javelin

[tawdry citrus]

When are we getting m4?

[austere nimbus]

Since the M4 wasn't actively used during the cold war (time period of Reforger) and only started to be rolled out in the 90's I doubt it will ever come to Reforger.
Of course modded M4's are already made and working.

[random cape]

What Grezvany said, iirc the year the game is set predates 'actually designated M4 Carbines' so instead the Final Strike milestone includes Assault rifle: M16A2 Carbine

[trim sky]

So how about any official big updates? Feel like it’s been a little bit

[slow pagoda]

well Arma3 just got 2.12 so big

Asked this couple days ago but would arma 3 be possible and or successful on Xbox?

I'm not a server owner, apparently from speaking to admins of servers xbox players can't be barred from servers

they can 100% be excluded from playing

in json file there is a string that enables xbox and pc and maybe even ps

How do I set up the commands for banning players. Nit cause I need to ban someone(haven't had that issue yet) but I'm just curious in case I ever get a griefer in the server?

[loud carbon]

You simply need to be admin on the server, when you are you have access to the admin panel (Hold Y/Z to open Editor and click on Game Master or Armavision to select Admin instead) from here you have the player list and can ban them.
For the commands when you're admin you may type in chat #ban [player number] [duration in seconds] without the brackets. To know a player's number you can type #players in chat which will show all the player names along with their assigned number
If you need to unban someone you can check #bans to show all banned players and use #unban [corresponding number in the bans list]
Finally for all of this you need to have an admin password setup in your server config

Any deva about?

[stray blade]

?

[wary badge]

Sorry, devs*

@stray blade

[half locust]

why?

[bleak zealot]

is there any chance that there will be some kind of Skuba Divers ... or at least the ability to dive ?

[stray blade]

None was mentioned.

Also swimming is quite janky when there are uw rocks and water is shallow

It can fuck up your camera and you can get quite nicely stuck.

Wondering if there is any news or whatever on being able to ban specific xbox players from servers yet, not block them entirely from a server just specific people.

Had several matches on different community servers yesterday where one xbox player with about six alt accounts plagued them with team killing, destroying friendly logic trucks at HQ so you couldn't get supplies running, using free roam build to use up initial supply points by deleting integral buildings like armory and vehicle depo and then building sandbags to use up the rest if the supply point, racist comments/slurs on proximity/radio and global chat. Then going on the opposing side to do the same think.

Destroyed a server using arland map after two matches (short lived because no one could do anything so restarted both times) this guy deterred basically everyone playing on that particular server.

Later that day I went on an official game master server where the same guy was doing the basically the same crap, teamkilling, trolling etc. Kept doing it with his may alts.

Same guy has been doing it for months, only more recently people have clocked on he used alts, there are a few players who do the same thing but one guy in particular seems to be the Head honcho of it.

There has to be some sort of moderation tools in the works and I know a lot of players I frequently play with on these servers would appreciate at least knowing if something is being worked on or updating the community on the matter. It's been brought up in BI's forums and I've sent an email to support too along with some others.

Sorry for the essay haha

[quaint copper]

Tldr: Bohemia, I can't ban a person who is terrorizing my server because there's no permanence against Xbox players, who abuse the two hours free trial and make new accounts for free just to use it. Please allow IP bans and fix permanence cause trolling is the single biggest issue with the game and is ruining the community you're struggling to keep, much less grow

[wary badge]

Not my server

[quaint copper]

@wary badge Helped you out a little, not everyone is gonna read that much text all the way through

[wary badge]

I don't own any, I'm poor 😄

[quaint copper]

And I totally agree, trolling sucks

[wary badge]

And the guy ain't abusing the trial he's been doing it for months on the same accounts

[quaint copper]

Whenever the server restarts, kicks and bans reset

There's no permanence

[wary badge]

To be honest is worse than trolling, they guy is British and he's spouts racist shit all the time. Which is illegal in the UK and the dude could get arrested for it.

[wary badge]

I know I'd just like to know if the devs are working on it

[quaint copper]

I know exactly who you're talking about

[wary badge]

Vladdy

[quaint copper]

All you had to say was British and I recognize him inst- YEP
That's it

Vladdy, Pink Top, CarsoMedan, etc

[wary badge]

Og floppy
John Lennnon
Skeebjb 7 somthing
PBS DEMOX
Tyler durden
Ect.

Yup yup

You knows the anger I feel then hahaha

Oh and TECHBOMB or somthing

[lost moon]

Lol I actually ran a game of conflict with vladdy, we were manning a btr😹 he’s a odd soul

Definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed

[magic pebble]

fyi the mods could bodyslam you for posting names.

[wary badge]

Dude was winning earlier today because he got banned from PBS's discord for his behaviour, asking to be unbanned or he'll troll every match worse, whining about being kicked and asking that his main account doesn't get temp banned next time he joins, fucking little child

[wary badge]

Most definitely

[wary badge]

That's fair enough if they do to be honest. Just want some word from them rusty

[sand verge]

Make server only PC master race, maybe it will attract people so pop will remain similar 🙂

[wary badge]

But then I won't be able to play 😅

Can't afford a swanky nice PC, my consoles on finance as well haha

[stray blade]

Btw IP ban doesnt solve anything.
It has to be id ban, just unchangable one. Or disable free trial.

[lost moon]

Yeah Id ban is your best bet, will make them have to re buy the game to get back on

[wary badge]

Hopefully this gets implemented soon then. It is a pain in my otherwise painless butt hole

[sand verge]

Btw. it's good that the PBS - 64 slot server with Arland attracts the most morons and they don't appear much elsewhere 🙂

[magic pebble]

They appear on the German server but because they run the big map, they can't grief as effectively.

[stray blade]

Ban system has been a thorn in a butt since the release...

[magic pebble]

They won't find more than few players in the main base so griefing ain't that effective.

[wary badge]

Yea it tends to be more on PBS haha. It has bled in to some other severs but it's almost always the same people

[wary badge]

Its more effective now with free build system.

[stark pilot]

Why do the soviets get a btr, yet the us gets an unshielded humvee

[topaz whale]

I don't believe shielded humvees were common back in the 80s and I don't think there was any decent armored wheeled vehicles in use by the US Army at the time.

[stark pilot]

True

[winter ingot]

HMMWVs engine struggled with the weight of the car, weapon and crew, which is why they introduced the ECV variants in 1996 with a much stronger engine capable of being armored

[fresh plover]

Any News about new Updates ?

[slow pagoda]

no news

[fresh plover]

😭😭😭

[stray blade]

It looks like there will be update today

[quartz lance]

🎊

[wheat carbon]

Any solution how to download mods ? Every time I start downloading it will be cancelled I'm struggling guys i need help ( on Xbox btw )

[cosmic plinth]

When starting to download mods on console, first thing you wanna do is make sure any saved data on reforger has been deleted, then when starting the download process, instead of individually searching up every mod in the menu, just go to the server you wanna play and when you access it, it will tell you all the mods required, from that screen download them all at the same time (this used to not work but now is the main and easiest solution for downloading mods imo)

[wheat carbon]

@cosmic plinth how i delete all my saved data ?

[cosmic plinth]

When on the Xbox home screen press the start button over reforger, click "manage games and add ons" from their go to saved data and out of the two options their only clear "reserved space"

[wheat carbon]

All right thanks so much my friend i appreciate your help

[cosmic plinth]

That will clear your current mods downloaded o you won't have any issues doin it again

[wheat carbon]

🙏

[cosmic plinth]

Np man🤟🏻

[peak thunder]

Are there any plans for using

XUserGetId()``` 
To get the Xbox live I'd so we can finally get some what control over Xbox trolling users?

[foggy ridge]

what kind of control? if you need a unique id you can use the identity id

[peak thunder]

I'm talking about their in engine ban system. Apparently can be easily bypassed by Xbox users.

[foggy ridge]

correct, I used the identity id to persist bans in my admin tools mod

the only workaround is to register a new account and get a trial of reforger (or buy the game on a different account)

I wish this was used for bans in the vanilla game though

[stray blade]

It is... just not stored.

[versed prairie]

Anyone use the Enhanced Arma Radio System Mod?

[glacial quiver]

Yo can someone please help me I can't install anything it gets to 10/15% and stops

[formal bolt]

How long do you think till we get the UH

[old marsh]

Anyone able to make the ACE medical mod for reforger?

[sand verge]

why would any sane people do that when they are releasing a medical system

[formal bolt]

But how long will it be until its released

[digital crane]

UH-60?

[old marsh]

I did not know they were i apologise!

[sand verge]

many mods like tanks, aircraft ect are waiting for more official work to come out either because it does not make sense to make without them or its nearly impossible \

[tepid torrent]

if your referring to the planned UH-10 you going to be waiting a long time come back next year maybe 😂

[sand verge]

@tepid torrent the UH-10 from just cause 2 was pretty gud

[hasty night]

Anyone no if there is shipping containers that we can open?

[tepid torrent]

i dont think so but it would be cool and pretty easy to mod in, would be nice if the ammo depot shipping container could hold vehicle and artillery ammunition

[hasty night]

Yeh that would awesome

[formal bolt]

Rip

[tepid torrent]

yeah development has been a bit slow lately, they haven't finished ground support yet and once they begin on air assault milestone they might leave helicopters last

[formal bolt]

Dose someone wanna make one

I hope they finish the 1st milestone

[tepid torrent]

there have been quite a few helicopter mods released, there is a UH-60, Chinook and a little bird i might have even missed a few, but no one has been working on a UH-10 as far as i know because it is expected to be in the game eventually.

[formal bolt]

I'm talking about a missile variant

[tepid torrent]

oh helicopter weapons systems were POSSIBLY going to come in last milestone so a very long way off

[formal bolt]

Damn

[timid galleon]

Okay so I’m starting up a server but need to add about 30 mods too it. I’ve got the server set up and when I look up how to put mods on it says to stop the server, go to configure, place, save, enjoy. However I can’t see configure for mods anywhere. When I press configure it only lets me adjust how many slots I’d like to have. Is this due to me doing this on phone? Do I need to do it on my laptop?

[steel basalt]

actually a good idea for a mod. Are there any barrel mods out there for fuel containers etc? (I know we can't refuel yet)

Could add some containers too

[foggy ridge]

ask your service provider

[hasty night]

If only I was capable of doing this mate ..I dnt no about any fuel barrels

[timid galleon]

About as helpful as I should have guessed

[foggy ridge]

they made the service, they should be able to help you set it up... if not, find a different provider

[timid galleon]

My bad I thought you were being a smart ass😂

[timid galleon]

Idk wym about my provider, im using Nitrado and have a server up. Just need to throw the mods on it.

[stray blade]

your service provide is Nitrado.

[steel basalt]

I did make a barrel mod for arma 3. And we do have the nice blender tools too so maybe I could do something with that

[hasty night]

That would be amazing

[timid galleon]

I made a ticket for help with Nitrado, but I also posted in the server channel for some help here just because like I said I’m dumb and learning. Usually when I ask for help the vets on this subject get pissy with me so my bad

[random cape]

Has anyone noticed any new bugs in the latest update, compared to this year's first stable update where freeform building was added?

[quaint copper]

only things caused by mods tbh

Game hasnt felt more stable honestly

It took them a year but i think they managed to smooth it out enough that it doesnt constantly crash

[sand verge]

It still constantly crash

[astral iris]

Is there a reason players in game when livestreaming their voices dont get picked up through twitch?

[sand verge]

I guess that's on purpose. If you're on a PC, you can probably bypass it by using VB-CABLE or something similar.

[random cape]

It took them a year but i think they managed to smooth it out enough that it doesnt constantly crash

It still constantly crash
The Duality of Reforger™️

[quaint copper]

I only crashed once recently on a modded server

[clear grove]

Hey question for the devs. Why do the launched explosives not save in your custom loadout? Rpg rounds / 40mm for m203?

[steel basalt]

I've had many crash's || into trees ||

[foggy ridge]

for me it's weird, I can play for hours without a crash one day and the next day the game will crash when I take the optic off my rifle

[clear grove]

Hey does anyone know if this engine is capable of implementing parachutes?

[slow pagoda]

scripted parachutes most likely yes

[clear grove]

Awesome. Can't wait!!

When the semester is over im prolly gonna start tying to build mods

[flint dragon]

Does anybody know if there's a way to add the functionality to move materials like in conflict but on gamemaster?

[tepid torrent]

my crashes usually happen out of the blue when i start talking to someone might be a bug in there somewhere causing it, other than that most of my disconnects are when swapping out gear and the game desyncs but this only happens if my internet comes in shit

[cunning cave]

Is there a mod to increase the radio distance?

[glad lantern]

It's quite easy to make, you just need to mod prefabs of radio items, there is a distance property on one of components

Like this:

[cunning cave]

i am on xbox and i have no idea how to do this

[stray blade]

You cant on xbox

[fierce warren]

Is anybody else on XBOX experiencing server crashes when spawning in items in GM?

[low fox]

Hi guys, i have a quick question, if possible recruit bots for my squad (like in Arma 3)????

[slow pagoda]

depends on the game mode. Not quite the same way you do stuff in A3

[sacred mesa]

You must use another radio mod like "Better radio" or "ears"

[sacred mesa]

Not yet. In future official update it is possible to give orders to bots

[low fox]

Thank you very much for your reply, thank you!

[rustic burrow]

I need help adding the kunar region in. I have the scenario ID. I just need to know if I put something in the game mode part of the code

[tired briar]

whenever i open the game and it reaches the start menu then it just crashes
im pretty sure its from a mod i installed, what's the folder location of the mods?

[wanton hollow]

Documents/my games/arma reforger/addons

[stray blade]

Mods dont start at launch, they start when joining server or creating sp.

So instead delete profile folder

Unless you used some strange mods that require launch parameters

[hallow storm]

guys i need some guidance so i bought the jetts dlc and i played the showcase but i want more single player missions that have jetts any advice what can i do ? thx

[quartz lance]

Guess you ask for Arma 3?
This is Arma Reforger.

[topaz nexus]

Bro is 2 years ahead of us

[hallow storm]

oh shoot

my bad

[sand verge]

Idk Bout that F18 is in the works coming out eventually

[topaz nexus]

He said dlc so my joke is this is they eventually make a jet dlc for reforger

[carmine bison]

Is there a mod pack with press gear

[lean gazelle]

Is it at all feasible to one day in the future get a clan tag feature for use in game. Yes this pertains to milsim or anyone roleplaying within the game as a whole. Just a 5 character tag that you can change in the player screen while on a server. Nothing persistent across servers but something you could use to identify either rank or to differentiate yourself from someone with a similar gamertag/username on any given server if we so chose? I hate to use another game as an example but similar to what squad has although theirs is persistent and you can change it in the settings. Just curious thanks

[mossy beacon]

when i ads i get stuck does anyone know how to fix that?

[random rapids]

Is there any mods that re-skin the FIA or Russians into anything more modern anymore?

[quaint copper]

RHS for Russia

Adds EMR uniforms and some modern weapons like the AKABAN

As well as a bunch of scopes and optics, including some night vision ones

[digital crane]

are the devs aware of the new downloading mod’s problem on xbox?

[half locust]

unless there is a proper ticket - see pinned in #reforger_feedback it is unlikely

[versed prairie]

Any mod creators willing to talk about potentially selling me a custom mod pack for my server?

[brittle agate]

Mod packs cannot be sold.
The tools to make modpacks forbid commercial use

[foggy ridge]

hehe, right

[quiet widget]

Does reforger support lan/local

Want to make splitscreen script for it (via Nucleuscoop) but due to needing Goldberg + modified exe(forgot if modified exe was needed.) it will need lan support for player to join each other

[stray blade]

officially no. However you can do some trickery on server config to allow only local players to connect (same network). But they all still have to have internet access, since you can only join via master server.

[quiet widget]

[stray blade]

it will still work as lan, you only need master server to initiate it. (therefore internet)

[quiet widget]

Best case scenario i figure out 2 instances opening with master server

But, haven't had luck with that in any game

[austere nimbus]

Can't you just use "Direct join" to a local IP address (same network, or even same computer)?

[stray blade]

no

yeah im not sure how it will work in your "split screen" configuration as youd have to have two steam accounts logged in at the same time

[quiet widget]

Because I'm using Goldberg to open it twice, all steam/network is emulated or ignored,
