reforger_questions

[spark rock]

HOTAS unplugged. still issues

It's while I'm hosting a local game

[half birch]

Will there be M&K support on the PS5 version?

[shut cosmos]

And you restarted the game? Also try deleting your reforger profile folder

C:\Users\Apocalypse\Documents\My Games\ArmaReforger\profile

[true reef]

Hi, Does the error code below mean that whoever would connect to my host doesn't have the same set of mods, or is it not that simple?
Game mod content doesn't match server mod content.
Kick cause code: Group=4 'DATA', reason=2 'SCRIPT MISMATCH'
They can't connect to my host created in Reforger.

[old adder]

looks like mod mismatch yes

could be version, could be mod list

[true reef]

Thanks for the quick help! This has worked so far, is it possible to delete the mods and download again?

[old adder]

yup

Document/MyGames/Arma Reforger/addons

[true reef]

Yes, I meant manually. Thanks, I'll try it!

[old adder]

if you do it via the in-game workshop, it doesn't work very well, better delete the addon folder and download again

[true reef]

The whole addon, or just the couple that the scenario uses?

[old adder]

the one you use in the scenario should be enough

or ones

[true reef]

Ok, I get it! Thanks, I'll try it!

[spark rock]

Seems to only be happening in multiplayer, and only when I host a local session with buddies

[sudden plank]

Super quick question - How do I rotate the protractor in the map, on PC? It used to be hold Shift+ click and hold mouse. That seems to have been changed recently and I don't see it in the keybindings page in the settings menu.

Nevermind, its middle mouse button; if anyone else is wondering.

[stray blade]

Mmb

Oh nvm

[sudden plank]

Hahaha no worries, I appreciate though

[sage ferry]

what does this do and how do i use it?

[foggy ridge]

it has infinite medical items inside

[stray blade]

Medical kit.

It has three purposes:

• Acts as a small arsenal for medical stuff only when dropped
• When held in hand you have interaction on other people to give them med supplies straight to their inventory (to a limit)
• Acts as a medkit, when held in hand you can use it to bandage/CAT/morphine/saline other players.

Number on bottom right represents supplies in range, bandages are free, everything else costs supplies.
So you need to carry supplies on you, or have vehicle/depot with supplies nearby

[topaz whale]

I don't like this generic "supply" idea. You should have to pre-plan what you need and not just turn supplies into what you need at the moment.

[charred harbor]

Agreed, outside of fortifications and "base building" I'm not a fan of the supply system

[shut cosmos]

You can also access it while it's in your bag by pressing mmb, similar to how guns work

[stray blade]

yeah that too

[magic pebble]

I would rather they don't complicate the supply system. keep it simple, let thee players focus on the more important part of the game, the fighting.

[sage ferry]

I am carrying medical supplies but it still says zero supplies are availible

[stray blade]

its not medical supplies, actual supplies

[sage ferry]

ah

thanks

[remote rampart]

Will future enfusion games be able to run on MacOS? I know A3 supports it.

[topaz whale]

I don't think it's complicated to make people take the equipment they need. I shouldn't be able to convert supplies to more LAWs on the fly or to suddenly give myself a sniper rifle.

[foggy ridge]

Fix it with crafting. Change supply to weapon parts and raw resources

[magic pebble]

It just add another step that I personally don't see as necessary to the experience.

[cerulean token]

"Can someone drive to Iron Mine and get some iron real quick"

[magic pebble]

We already have caves. We just need pickaxes.

[topaz whale]

It's far more interesting to require specific items than it is to just say here are supplies convert it into what you want. It opens up a lot more mission possibilities too

[magic pebble]

Get supplies, move to base, assault and take it. Three steps, simple. Adding two more steps of take the supplies back to the base, or maybe to a factory to convert it, then convert it, the move to base to assault and take it.
It is just this extra steps that will fall mainly on logistic players, who will be stuck doing this all round.

[tardy rune]

48 mHz: "OHMYGAWWWWDDDDD SOVIETS ARE CAMPING OIL REFINERY AGAINNNN"

[topaz whale]

Take ammo, supply, or fuel in whatever combination you want, assault and take it. Same 3 steps

But it opens more options

I mean I was mostly talking about how the medpack is dumb in the sense that it allows you to generate whatever you need without planning. But it also extends to the larger concept as well.

[magic pebble]

I just don't want logistic players to be forced to work non stop for the entire round. This is why I rather it is stay as simple as possible.

I don't mind the medkit as long as it needs supplies nearby to take items from it, and it is not infinite.

[charred harbor]

It'll probably end up getting to a point where it'll be all but mandatory to run ground based logistics runs as well as air because you know people are gonna be sapping the shit outta the roads

[cerulean token]

The simplicity fits the casual Conflict mode quite well imo. I will do 3 supply runs max before I go fight. I'm not there to do chores, I want to have fun.

[magic pebble]

This is why I like the bases generating supplies. The system needs some adjustment, and some limitation, but in essence, it improves logistic players experience.

[topaz whale]

I'm worried about more than just Conflict. I don't want to be fixing tanks with wrenches when A4 roles out.

[cerulean token]

That's fair, I agree. As long as this is only for Reforger it's fine though.

Still bugs me that we're fixing tires with wrenches when there's a perfectly fine spare wheel though..

[topaz whale]

Yeah that's one of the features I wanted from a new engine. I want it to be more like DayZ where I need individual pieces of the car to fix it and they can take damage and require replacement

[stray blade]

Extinguishing fires with wrenches too

[cerulean token]

Fire fire fire, stone stone stone!

[deft isle]

Is conflict not loading a saved game a bug?

[old adder]

not implemented yet

[tardy rune]

anyone know how to replicate. it wasnt just client side it looked like this for others too

[azure ruin]

Hey, got a quick question. How do I unban people? A buddy of mine got too many team kills on my server and the bans are controlled by the game, not myself.

It said either he has to wait 1 day or wait until session end. I forced session end and he’s still banned for the day

[magic pebble]

#ban list > #ban remove identityID

[azure ruin]

Where to find? Not in my config??

[magic pebble]

login as GM and type those in chat

[azure ruin]

Got it

He’s not on the ban list when I check it. But he’s still banned?

[magic pebble]

post an image of what you got

[neon comet]

Ik this is prob somewhere but I can’t find it so ima ask here when or if will the whole living quarters thing be sorted?

[old adder]

surely an animation bug, you had the same in Arma 3

we*

[tidal elk]

Do we know how much work is left to next experimental update?

[terse cloak]

Work?

Expect usually 1-2 months after major update on stable for a experiemental major update

[stray blade]

Check roadmap pinned above

[terse cloak]

This year no update for exp

[magic pebble]

Will be a miracle to get anything before February

[ancient rapids]

When did it change that ai no longer spawns on top of a building but below it on the ground surface or inside it? I don't like that, is there a line of script I can edit for that?

Was that done to fix the ai points I found placed below the ground's surface? the ai got dayz'd lol 😭

[sudden plank]

Someone else stumbling upon your conversation, but do you know if there's a way to get a vector that translates to something easily converted to map grid? I know I'm asking this in the wrong channel, but doing a search of the entire discord server for map grids doesn't bring much up for scripting. Just a shot in the dark if you might know.

[ancient rapids]

why would I randomly lose/gain favorite servers in the server browser?

[thorn furnace]

if servers are offline, they wont show in favourites, is that it?

[ancient rapids]

no server is still up but for some reason its not in my favorites anymore and i have to re-favorite it

[thorn furnace]

I guess the favorite list uses backend id not IP

[ancient rapids]

or I get some random server ive never played on added to my favorites

[thorn furnace]

that's only happened to me once; I put it down to clicking the star accidentally

[ancient rapids]

sounds like the backend is a mess, its happened to me a couple times now. and Ive lost single instances of servers on the same ip couple times now, but different instances

[tepid torrent]

berezka m88 when 🥺

[quiet token]

Hello,
I have a question about the in game chat.
It's possible to have a vocal activation detection like in teamspeak ?
Or you ear everythings if you use toggle chat ?
You have a tips to help to improve this ?
Thanks

[stray blade]

If you toggle it, it does hace some sort of a activation gate, but its quite low and non adjustable.

So if u have loud background or breathe in your mic, it will activate

[quiet token]

Ok, we have to wait to have a good gate activation module inside Reforger or maybe make them from a specific software. Thanks for the answer

[nocturne mantle]

So where is the Reforger soundtrack for people who have already bought the game before the deluxe edition released?

I don't see it in the DeluxeEdition folder

[stray blade]

Check the #announcements its explained (in the link)

[cerulean token]

Steam->View->Soundtracks

That's pretty neat though, I was actually thinking about getting the soundtrack anyway

[stray blade]

Good thing u waited 😛

You got Delux'ed

[nocturne mantle]

It's not showing up in soundtracks on steam for me and it was not explained in the post where the OSTs are

I've owned reforger since release

[stray blade]

Verify integrity

[nocturne mantle]

I did

[stray blade]

Restart client?

[nocturne mantle]

yup, I tried this before posting

[stray blade]

Then you didnt get Delux'ed

[nocturne mantle]

lmao

I'll try again restarting steam again, maybe I tried too early

ok it works now thanks @stray blade for the troubleshooting

[stray blade]

I mean... these steps are explained in the post 😛 i just re wrote them for you

[nocturne mantle]

It didn't mention anything about relogging steam though

oh yeah im stupid 🤦‍♂️

[stray blade]

Refer to the first step of your screenshot xD

[nocturne mantle]

yeah I think I just did it too early

[ancient rapids]

what if i have the deluxe folder and restarted steam, (and verified) but still no soundtracks?

I guess I had to install it, also I had only "ready to play" selected so I couldnt see the uninstalled soundtrack, yay!

well dang, i was hoping for the radio tunes to be on there... rip

[bleak arch]

I’m getting something that says this when I try loading in a privet server

Kick cause code: group=4 ‘DATA’, reason=1 ‘RDB_MISMATCH’

What does this mean, I’ve never seen it before?

[gleaming holly]

A mod is corrupted either on your end or on the server's end. If youre the only one experiencing the error then clear your cache (xbox) or delete your addons folder (PC) and redownload the mods

[bleak arch]

I did that and it worked..thx

[quick pilot]

hi I'm looking to create a server to play with a friend, how do I do it?

Itried to do it on the game host but it always gives the same error code as my friends or me when I join it

[compact dagger]

how can i fix this

i already reinstall the game and its not working, when i join to a server after a few minutes the game kick me

[compact dagger]

17:27:48.594 DEFAULT (E): Kicked from game. group=3 reason=1
17:27:48.594 SCRIPT : Kick cause code: group=3 'BATTLEYE', reason=1 'CLIENT_NOT_RESPONDING'

[flint nest]

As Servers become more stable, and are able to hold players with AI and without, will we be able to start launching servers back up to 200 or 300 concurent players?

I know early on we had 257 at the start and I know that was put down to 128 after the problems had with the systems at hand, But the main part of the question is as we gain more stability and as things get better with reforger, As proven with the Reforger nam servers being stable with 70 players and life servers stable with 128 will we see the player number rise, if not then why?

[eager sandal]

Is the towers in the forest cannot be penetrated? I fired at the wall and the floor from below but the guy on the tower still alive. I tested this offline btw, and only test with M16 and AK74

[steady rover]

Hello there lads, I am working on something for Reforger MilSim I am part of, we already know that being a certain distance away from NPC's and shooting at them makes them confused and they don't know where you are shooting from. Does anyone know how far do you have to be so I don't have to go into few hours of testing? 😄

[old adder]

How did you figure out it would take hours to test ?
You have a map with 100m² squares, go GM, place a bot at x meters, shoot at it, and again untim you have your answer.
3 mins per 100 meters max ?

Now thinking back about it it's more seconds per 100 meters if you have any idea what your are doing
Hardest part will to find equivalent altitude between the shooter and the shootee

[steady rover]

750m + seems to be the magic number

[steady rover]

That was more of an exegaration, but still thanks it helped

[fierce oar]

Hello! Is it possible to provide loadouts before spawning?

[steady rover]

not in the base game but there is a mod called persistent loadouts I believe

[topaz whale]

Capture and Hold game mode had/has this

[magic pebble]

Server owners can set it up to.

[fierce oar]

Not conflict? I didn't see any nonconflict populated servers

[fierce oar]

Without mods? So you can choose your preset before spawning?

[magic pebble]

With mods, and you can't choose whatever preset you want. It's preset loadouts from the game.

[ancient rapids]

With mods you can create custom loadouts and then add them to the loadout manager of the scenario you're running.

[rich estuary]

Oh that's how that works? That's dope actually

[foggy steppe]

Will there be any update as a Christmas gift?

[chrome sphinx]

They said no update this year

Although there have been snow assets I can't imagine they won't update it to Christmas

Or maybe they said no experimental update this year idk anymore

[magic pebble]

The developers, like most of the world is no holiday now.

[foggy steppe]

?
Why?

[chrome sphinx]

What do you mean why

[eager sandal]

They are on winter holiday. You know, for christmas and new year stuff.

[fierce oar]

Ok, so befor spawning you see your character over deploy button and there you can choose between default and saved loadout. Server manager cant put there his own presets?

I want to get rid of arsenal

[magic pebble]

like gramps said, server manager can put their own preset, but it will be a specific predetermined preset chosen by the admins. The players, can't have it set up to whatever they want.

[tepid torrent]

@foggy steppe holds the world up while everyone on holiday 😆

[compact dagger]

anyone know how to fix this?

[foggy steppe]

Try to reinstall BattlEye

[compact dagger]

I already did It alot of times, also deleting the battleye folder from the arma reforger folder AND verify game files to reinstall It

[tawdry root]

hi guys, new here! i played arma 3 a lot and im interested when arma reforger will have discounts on christmas for example.

[ancient rapids]

Doubt it, it's only $30 but they just added the deluxe version which is $40 so in a way the price just went up last week. Those of us who had the game previously got the deluxe additions for free.

[tawdry root]

oh, thanks for telling me. good for you guys
but kinda sad possibly no discounts,i just dont that much money to buy it sadly. Thanks anyways!

[ancient rapids]

That's half the price of major games these days, pretty good discount already IMHO. I've seen new games reaching $70 these days

[plucky karma]

Update when?

[tepid mauve]

Is there a mod for handing out weapons, body armor, helmets, and clothing categories?

It's hard to find it because it's all gathered in one place

[tepid torrent]

3 minutes from now

[plucky karma]

They are late!

[tepid torrent]

darn must have been bad intel 😆

BAD intel, BAD 😡 👉 🖥️

[foggy ridge]

yep switch to amd

[terse cloak]

If not tomorrow probably next year

[plucky karma]

We have a leaker among us!

[young grail]

Nothing major in terms of content updates til early January I'm guessing

[pure stag]

I can't join any modded server because whenever i try to join an error occurs group=4 'DATA' and error=2 'SCRIPT_MISMATCH'. To solve it i tried to disable any mod then try to join any modded server, delete all the mods and download them again, delete the cache of the game, veryfing game files, delete normally the game and download it again, delete the game completely including registry keys and any file and download it again, nothing worked.

As other people has had the same problem in the past, do you know of any solution about it?

[magic pebble]

Did you try to delete the addons file in document > my games > arma reforger?

[pure stag]

I'm trying right now

[ancient rapids]

nice cross post, i answered in another channel

[pure stag]

It works now, thank you ❤️

[quiet token]

Hello,
inside conflict mode. How long is the range of link with the MHQ deployed ?

[severe vine]

Does anyone know how long bullet holes in vehicles last for? Do they last forever until the scenario is over or do they just disappear after a few seconds?

[terse cloak]

Maybe a minute

[quick agate]

What happened to luminary?

[stable topaz]

Guess it's been taken down

[half locust]

nothing to do with this channel. It is most likely between the author and BI legal team

[quick agate]

It has to do with reforger and is a question my bad for being an idiot

[half locust]

main channels are for vanilla content mostly. There is an entire subsection for reforger modding. There are also several channels for all things in regards to IP rights on this very discord server

[wicked musk]

Here comes the really long winded message to essentially say “dunno but here’s pankins for asking a question in the non convoluted question channel”

Yup there it is

[half locust]

asking the author would be the best course of action, don't you agree?

[wicked musk]

This isn’t a Arma question please stay on topic

[quick agate]

Well it’s not specified that it’s vanilla questions only, it reads reforger questions, so asking a question about reforger and being told I’m in the wrong channel looks pretty dumb

[weak kite]

Timed out for inciting an insurrection

[hollow bison]

they got Texan😔

[wicked musk]

I’m back

[quick agate]

OFF TOPIC

[half locust]

the workshop item has been banned. What more would you like to know?

[slow pagoda]

oh there was whole lot on this subject here already 😅

[radiant marsh]

I continue to get this pop up when trying to join any server.

(That’s moded)

[old adder]

Delete and redownload mods (delete the folders)

[gleaming holly]

Did the render distance for AI/players get reduced in 1.0.0.80? I used to he able to see full bodies out to 700m and floating shirts out to almost 900. Now i see the floating shirts starting at 350m and AI do not render at all past 450m. Im on xbox and its impossible to spot anyone past 400m

[hasty isle]

Does ai command and driving entail being able to "1 man a vehicle like arma 3" or does it mean something more regular?

[rough brook]

Do we have any benchmarking on Reforger/Enfusion yet? How do AMD GPUs do compared to nVidia, and how big of a deal is VRAM?

[random lintel]

Do we have an estimate on when the UH-60 and chinook are coming back?

[chrome sphinx]

What do you mean coming back

There is no estimate for any reforger update

[tepid torrent]

I think he means if it will make a comback from OFP, in this case it is still a no

[stable topaz]

I think he means if the pre 1.0 helo mods will come back. In which case the answer is: whenever the modders get round to it.

[random lintel]

Yes, I know the project redline Core mod was re uploaded, I was hoping they would follow shortly after

[stable topaz]

Don't we all! Up to our benevolent modders though, all in good time

[tidal seal]

howdie :) i aim the only one who have just a ARMA_Reforger_Everon_Eng.pdf Map in digdeluxe version or is there no Arland Map jet? :) thx and greets!

[cerulean token]

It's 2 in 1, Arland is in the bottom left corner

[tidal seal]

ah alright, thx yoa!

[quiet moat]

Will the Tobi5 be supported in any future updates ?

[gloomy locust]

How can I invite my friend to a game master session or a conflict session? It doesn’t let me invite him

[gleaming holly]

You cant locally through scenarios, on PC you can host locally and he can join you but if youre on Xbox youll need a dedicated server

[grim otter]

Will Bohemian ever add a Arland Everyone group map

[terse cloak]

what

[gleaming holly]

A what

[magic pebble]

A map that contain both of Arland, and Everon.

I'm fluent in auto correct.

[terse cloak]

yeah theres one

[gleaming holly]

I dont think thats even possible, is it? To have both maps in one. According to BI theyre about 32Km apart so theyd either have to smash the two islands right next to each other or have a massive stretch of ocean between them

[tardy rune]

what if they expanded the maximum size of the maps and make the whole island chain, added proper ships and naval combat.
if only dreams could come true 🥺

[gleaming holly]

Id love to have multiple large (10km^2) island in one map but the issue i believe is inherent to Enfusion. Anything larger than 32.8km by 32.8km starts to have issues where stuff just fails to render, even up close

[foggy ridge]

Where's kolgujev and desert island

[tardy rune]

well i figure as the engine develops this could change.

[slow pagoda]

sure its possible if you disregard the real dimensions

[gleaming holly]

I sure hope so, i really hope we get the same style of infinite flat terrain at map edges that DayZ has so landlocked maps dont looks as strange

[slow pagoda]

(silly idea I know)

[gleaming holly]

What do you mean disregard the real dimensions

[slow pagoda]

make them closer

[gleaming holly]

Ohhh, id be 100% cool with that, just make them like 1.5km apart but keep the rest the same

[tardy rune]

yeah where is kolgujev, none of the islands on that map even resemble it

[slow pagoda]

honestly I hate that kind of stuff. One could do something completely new instead

[gleaming holly]

Fair enough, i think itd be nice to see some clusters of larger islands in general though

[tardy rune]

not to mention kolgujev is twice the size of arland which is already easily visible

[stray blade]

Arland and everon teleported (again)

[stray blade]

Done!

[slow pagoda]

[tepid torrent]

art!

A massive map would be really cool, would hate to be that one guy who always "accidentally" ejects half way between everon and malden 😆 but in all seriousness it would be a really cool option if arma servers can handle a massive amount of players in future

[tardy rune]

im expecting a lot out of bi with arma 4, maybe im just going to let myself down though.
i wouldnt care if they delay the launch by 5 years to get everything right

[errant ledge]

This is just the discussions of merging Altis and Stratis all over again 😅

[tepid torrent]

yes, except now that they have enfusion it may now be possible if the work is put in

just think about it, the environment artists are probably spinning around on their spinny chairs with nothing to do

[errant ledge]

All the streaming stuff gives me hope that Enfusion will be more scaleable than RV, but that's just speculations.

[tepid torrent]

i hope so too, i think it can do great things when it isnt having a seizure from bugs

[slow pagoda]

current messaging is that 30km x 30km is the largest maps they intend the engine to go

I too do hope this changes since it would be a step back from what the previous engine was able to do

[stray blade]

Remember when they said map sizes would be virtually unlimited in the beginning?

[slow pagoda]

only issue with RV was the coordinate precision degradation at larger sizes

[slow pagoda]

I do yes

[stray blade]

unless 30x30 is "virtually unlimited"

[slow pagoda]

and theoretically modern ways of coordinate calculation can fit milkyway in it easily

but Id be satisfied with couple 200km 😄

of course the terrain data for 200km x 200km map at high precision is very diskspace heavy

and unlikley to be fillable in detail even by a small army of terrain makers

currently enfusion would make islands at long distance easy though since theres no diving again

so no need for much detail under water

[tepid torrent]

exactly

[slow pagoda]

if that changes however, large sea areas should be made properly too

[tepid torrent]

at that point they may as well have logistics ships that can be destroyed 😆

[slow pagoda]

but a 30km+ land locked map is a huge challenge

unless a lot of generation is used

and to make that look good is whole another level of making stuff

[errant ledge]

Who knows, maybe ppl eventually build NN-based generators 😅

[tepid torrent]

does enfusion have a system where it will make facial animations based on audio? i doubt there is one yet bc of the lack of facial animations currently, but has there been any mention of this system returning?

[stray blade]

blink already!

[tepid torrent]

slap that and AI driving into the game and we can finally recreate the OFP campaign, minus the armour 😢

[tepid torrent]

it has been almost 2 years and they havent blinked

[gloomy locust]

Oh man

[cerulean token]

Animation is in the files and even hooked up, but they just don't blink. Never.

[tepid torrent]

look at those poor bloodshot eyes, they are begging for a blink, but devs wont let them, cruel

[stray blade]

https://tenor.com/view/mr-bean-mr-beans-holiday-rowan-atkinson-tired-stay-awake-gif-14784107

[cerulean token]

Some of the facial animations are quite hilarious. It's obvious the face rig is WIP. They don't even have teeth, and no tongue despite tongue bones. Not a priority yet likely.

[stray blade]

Lol. That would be funny to see

[tepid torrent]

i havent taken a look at these yet, i will do so momentarily

[cerulean token]

Can find them under p_face

[tepid torrent]

ok yes, face animations are quite funny 🤣

i can not wait for the unconscious animations 😆

[stray blade]

you go uncon and your char will have smile like 😄 but without teeth

[topaz whale]

And planes.. and attack helicopters.. and 2/3 of the islands 😁

[tepid torrent]

yeah, i was only thinking about the first part, but even then, your right 😢

[grim otter]

Is there an ETA on when AI will be able to operate turret mounted vehicles not like a sloth?

I noticed they're fine on Turrets separated from a vehicle.

[slow pagoda]

negative

[grim otter]

Oh well okay

[true flume]

Does anyone know why when I restart my server, why it's not updating any mods or deleting entities when it comes back online?

It's like it's going down but not resetting anything and I'm having to manually update mods by changing the code

[indigo crater]

What does RDB_mismatch mean?

[magic pebble]

it means you will have to delete all of your mods, and wait an hour to download them again.

[dusky shore]

why are my mods being downloaded to the C:/ drive?

[obsidian fulcrum]

I keep getting Error code "RDB Mismatch" any else get this and know how to fix it?

[magic pebble]

You will have to delete the addons file in Document > MyGames > Arma reforger

[obsidian fulcrum]

Thank you

[obsidian fulcrum]

That worked Thank you

[random dust]

My tv to small so I can't see the stuff on the bottom left of my screen what's the setting to fix that on xbox?
Or does this game not have it most do

[foggy ridge]

Sometimes called overscan on tvs

[chrome rover]

Anyone got tips to join modded servers?? I keep getting errors or my game crashes

[old sierra]

Hey so I just got the the game for Christmas is there anything I should know. I played a modded Kuhnar Server but that was it I'm not sure on how to do much

[topaz whale]

Play the tutorial. That should help.

[tepid torrent]

getting some vanilla conflict rounds in are a good way to get into the flow, ensure you have a mic however, it goes a long way trust me

[true flume]

I will always recommend joining milsims, I get bored of conflict quickly so I spend my time in milsims doing realistic ops etc and I think it's great fun

Especially if you get the right one the guys r friendly will teach u the ropes etc, but each to there own yk

[old sierra]

Thanks man yea I'll have a look I think one of my mates is in one

[real breach]

How do the proxy servers work? If I make one can a friend join?

[stray blade]

There are no proxy servers in reforger

[flint dragon]

is it legal to do retextures of other mods? ,like for example I want to change the skin of a helmet ?

[thorn furnace]

Depends what is the license of the mod. Most mods are uploaded without license i.e. all rights reserved, where the answer would be no.

[ancient rapids]

wait, dont you have to select a license to publish a mod these days?

[foggy ridge]

Default is APL-SA

[half locust]

if no license is present then the most restrictive one applies (in this case apl-sa considering arma license)

[foggy ridge]

Where does it say that? APL-SA is selected by default

[half locust]

where does it say what? The default apl-sa as default is a newer publisher setting

[foggy ridge]

The default license is not the most restrictive, and there is no option to upload with no license, so I don't know how this works

[half locust]

i said if no license is present, which used to be an option

[ancient rapids]

Yeah that was kinda my point, you can't upload a mod without a license afaik

[half locust]

…anymore, indeed. You also couldn’t use your own license, and now you can

[ancient rapids]

Even if you choose custom it makes you add a license.txt file

[fresh abyss]

HI I have Arma 3 , installed Reforger on steam clicked Launch but it goes to a server hosting wiki page (not sure how to get to server list or launch arma 4 ) ?

[old adder]

Arma 4 doesn't exist yet

Be sure to install Arma Reforger the game, not tool or server

[stray blade]

You are launching Arma Reforger Server. Launch Arma Reforger instead

[fresh abyss]

Hey Marko Do you have Arma Reforger on steam?

I only see the Reforger server in library

Not sure if or how to install it from steam ; i own arma 3 so thought both were included (but only see reforge server option)

[sand verge]

do you own arma reforger base game?

[slow pagoda]

did you BUY Reforger?

its not a free game

Reforger is not part of Arma 3

they are separate games

[lime summit]

Is battleye not set up for reforger so it shows in game like previous arma's? So like the global messages. say -1 message and server restart messages.

[ancient rapids]

it is not, only basic commands work like players and ban/kick etc, but not say

[lime summit]

Okok i was thinking that

Thanks for letting me know 🙂

[deft fjord]

does anybody know why, even when i disable supplies, my arsenals still require them?

vanilla game no mods

[stable topaz]

It's a bug

Drop an FIA Supply Depot next to your arsenal

[summer wedge]

Hi, is there an Com/Server overview on web, for new Players? Did the Trainings but its hard to cathc up then on MP...

I'm on several facebook groups that play Reforger and players advertise units to join in my language, pretty sure some exist in your
Or look TopServer

Or #looking_for_unit and #communities_arma3 #communities_xbox

[sacred thistle]

how hard is it for someone to port a terrain such as altis from arma 3 to reforger?

[arctic gazelle]

i cant seem to find a fix for this can anyone help me fix it please

[tardy rune]

youre going to have to rebuild the whole thing

[sacred thistle]

so u cant import the objects one by one? i remember like 9 years ago bohemia released all the previous arma titles stuff so that it could be imported to arma 3. is that correct? if so has arma 3s stuff not been released publicly yet?

also could u at least import the topography and map texture of altis to reforger?

[peak thunder]

Arma 3 files have not been released. Also, Arma 2/3 use a different engine than reforger. It's not a straightforward port for most things.

[tardy rune]

im not a map maker, i figure you could ask wolf since he is moving cherno to reforger. he has had to remake the buildings though from a2. topography wise you could just use the real island, map textures idk.

[sacred thistle]

wolfs stuff is from dayz, right? and is it easier because dayz is kind of using the enfusion engine? also i kind of get its not a straight forward port from armas previous engines to enfusion, but it could be done with enough time and effort, right?

im asking because ive recently been longing for an altis remaster with actual water (canals, dams, ponds etc) above sea level

and with actual furniture inside the buildings and perhaps even bathrooms

[topaz whale]

I don't think it's from DayZ. I didn't think that was allowed.

It is possible to port Altis to AR once source files are released but it would be a ton of work

[umbral harness]

I remade everything from scratch. By having one screen Open with dayz and one with the editor trying my best to match it up

[severe vine]

How do I make it so ai in won’t disembark from the vehicle they are in when they get a move waypoint?

[sacred thistle]

wow nice job, that is some dedication

[snow fossil]

Is firing from vehicles planned? Better yet, can you snipe from helicopter?

[half locust]

firing from vehicles isn't planned for reforger in accordance to its roadmap

[foggy ridge]

I can't imagine the hell you'd have to go through in the animation editor to get it to work

[snow fossil]

Thanks

[robust oriole]

Ai don’t have vehicle programming yet

[severe vine]

ah

[zinc spade]

how to remove weapon from hands

[hazy sage]

Anyone know why mods will go to a crawl or sometimes stop downloading when they are almost finished like 1KB away from being done

[half locust]

happens on xbox mostly, the issue is with microsoft system afaik

[hazy sage]

Ahh okay I was curious cause I’ve switched between both platforms and wasn’t sure what the reason was that it would only happen on console

[violet lava]

Does anyone know how to fix the Reforger game master? Every time I try to load one up I get stuck on the Arma Reforger logo, the music is still playing so I know it’s not frozen

This is the screen it shows

[cold dune]

Hey guys, so I got a problem that happens pretty often now that when I try to scope in it just doesn't do anything, even though when I have the zoom in hold on right click and that works.... And sometimes directional input from my mouse stops working....

And when it happens I can't do anything with it until it stops after a bit... My mouse works fine in the inventory and stuff even while it's happening and it works fine in windows, so it's not a problem with my input device in particular ( probably )

[robust oriole]

I can second this issue, I restarted my computer and it seemed to fix itself.

[cold dune]

Well not for me, happens every launch randomly mid gameplay

[unborn torrent]

I have that issue sometimes

[robust oriole]

When you scope in, is it like it locks you in place?

[unborn torrent]

No I can't even scope in

[cold dune]

No, it randomly stops scoping in and won't let me scope in

[unborn torrent]

I just restarted the game and it fixed but it's still annoying.

[cold dune]

If I'm scoped in, if not it just doesn't let me

[cold dune]

Anyone got an idea on how to fix that?

[terse cloak]

Are you using 2d scope and are you playing modded

[cold dune]

Modded, but happens only to me, not my friend

[terse cloak]

are you using 2d scope

[cold dune]

How do you tell in this game?

[old adder]

video settings

[cold dune]

And a 2d scope causes that or?

[terse cloak]

yes

[cold dune]

What about the issue where all my directional input from my mouse does nothing in game randomly for some period if time

[terse cloak]

no idea

[cold dune]

Was that a problem in Arma 3 too?

[terse cloak]

arma 3 sights were 2d

[cold dune]

Is that a yes? Because I think I had a similar if not the same issue there

[terse cloak]

Not a issue in a3

[cerulean token]

Are your controls just randomly disabled, or does your character also randomly move, take out compass, look around etc. ?

[cold dune]

No it's just that randomly either my scope in input stops working or my directional mouse input stops working

[cerulean token]

I see, since there's a bug where AI can take over characters. Have you tried deleting your profile folder in Documents/MyGames/ArmaReforger ? Some people have an issue where stuff binds itself to random keys behind the scenes, could be that.

This would reset all your keybinds, your graphic settings etc. including any of those hidden ones if there are any

[cold dune]

I'll try I guess

But definitely seems weird on the directional mouse input...

Well obviously the scope in is weird, but that is even weirder

[cerulean token]

First thing I'd try with any sort if issue. Other than that I guess a reinstall, that's all I got. 😅

Or well, I suppose you could try without mods and reinstall them if they're the cause.

[cold dune]

Well I don't have it on

[terse cloak]

dont know then, thats all i got. better asking someone else, sorry.

[round cedar]

hi guys i dont know if im in the right server for this but im having an issue with setting up my nitrado server for arma reforger in adding a modded map is anyone willing to help. this is what it says when trying to load the map my code works on official maps which is why im confused when it is going on about the maps mod itself . Modded scenarios are unavailable to select at this time, because the Workshop API returned an error:
data.assets['5EED46C209836EE9'] should match pattern "^(0|[1-9][0-9]).(0|[1-9][0-9]).(0|[1-9][0-9]*)$"
Please check your server configuration or try again later.

what does it mean and how can i fix it ?

[tawdry jetty]

it looks like asset 5EED46C... passed in data.assets[] needs to return a string matching the regex pattern which expects a string such as 0.0.0, 19.11.10, 10.10.11111, etc. i'm not sure what data.assets[] is, or what the string output represents, but essentially data.assets[], presumably, a map, needs to return a string matching the regex pattern.

have you tried printing data.assets[...] to see what it gives? is that C# and enfusion engine? depending on what language that's in, the [] operator could be different.
if you do print it and you get null, then probably the asset wasn't loaded/added.

[round cedar]

But it's the mod ID that is coming up as issue and it can be any mod just what ever is in the first position will pop up and I can't fina a data assets anywhere

[merry fjord]

Any News for reforger on PlayStation?

[half locust]

no

[plain nimbus]

So is there any interaction available with the Field Hospital? It says you can fully heal there but I don't see how to do that.

[thorn furnace]

I think it's based on vicinity. i.e. Being in the field hospital gives a boost to health regen/healing

[tawdry jetty]

is this enfusion engine? if so, try one of the enfusion channels below, better chance of someone encountering the same issue before or knowing more.

[lusty vector]

When would we see the next big update ? And we be seeing AI driving and LAV-25 with it?

[stable topaz]

There aren't any dates on the roadmap, they'll just be released when they're done. But yeah, AI will be able to drive all wheeled vehicles.

[snow fossil]

It was a good suggestion to add another colour to roadmap - eg blue - to highlight what comes next

[vestal sinew]

they usually do this once the update drops on experimental, which gives you about 1 month to see whats coming next

not exaclty what you meant but i mean better than nothing I guess

[snow fossil]

Yeah, another colour would make it more transparent and also build up some hype for features/future updates

Whats next now btw? Mortars and AI driving?

[old adder]

developing is not an exact science when it comes to delays
thy may have planned to do Mortars and AI driving, but maybe then will hit some walls, or realize they need something to be done first, and plans need to be remade, other stuff can be ready first in the end
so the logical conslusion is that to avoid any false hope do not plan too much ahead (that's why most of the time there isn't any date on those roadmaps)

[topaz whale]

... on roads (according to the roadmap)

[quaint cargo]

Does anyone know if radio ranges are affected by terrain elevation or trees n such?

[chrome sphinx]

I don’t know but 99% confident that this is not the case in reforger

[tepid torrent]

I am pretty sure distance is the only thing that effects signal strength, they removed static however, I did suggest that forests and blocking terrain impact radio signal but I doubt we will get such a feature

[snow fossil]

It could be distorted to some extent but not as fully as with ACRE. Like for example muffled sound from radio when you are indoors and even more muffled when you are in caves/underground.

Like a filter or such. Could be cool for immersion but not too simulation-y for newcomers. That would come with ACRE.

[tepid torrent]

I agree, we will have to wait for modders to solve this issue, again

[snow fossil]

I am fine with that. Arma was never really hardcore, only when ACE and ACRE showed up it went to actual milsim. I am fine with vanilla game being realistic but not autistically simulated. I myself do not enjoy everything ACE offers and some things feel like fluff.

[tepid torrent]

I completely agree, there is realistic and autistic, you need to get a nice balance, I really do hope static comes back though and they disable teleportation and squad markers, tbh though I think the devs have just put them there as placeholder features for now to fill the gaps

oh boy when AI isnt dumb and can drive, and when I can finally use the arsenal without loosing my shit it is going to be a good day 👍

[foggy steppe]

.82 will be published tomorrow?

[slow pagoda]

as before and as usual, theres no early announcements so we cant know.

[brazen grove]

How do I close the map?!

[dapper scaffold]

Hey so I have a question and kinda curious if it’s happening with other players but when I try to download a mod either that be a new mod or updating a mod the game keeps saying that I need more space in my hard drive when I have over 80+ free space is that just a game bug?

[ebon obsidian]

Why Tanoa is in the terrain related files? GIB

[slow pagoda]

remnants of old test they made

[toxic tinsel]

I've never had that happen before, and I've downloaded a hell of a lot of mods! Can't say I've heard much about that happening to others either to be honest! That's an odd one!

[magic pebble]

It happens to me often. clearing the recycle bin fixes it. I have no idea why

[languid pond]

I hope this the right place to ask, in regards to the mods that are used in A3 like cups, rhs, ace, etc.. which are some good ones to download for reforger? I have the better inventory, and M4 underbarrel.

[glossy tundra]

How does build mode work? I go into build mode, place a structure, and it remains as a white ghost. When I leave build mode, I can just see the outline of it marked by posts in the ground. Do I need to supply the structure with building supplies?

[topaz whale]

You have go use a shovel on it

[frosty vector]

Is there still a mod where you can pick who the game master is without the vote crap??

[topaz whale]

Check out the tutorial

[glossy tundra]

got it now, thanks!

[tepid torrent]

if you go create a terrain in workbench the tanoa satmap will be applied by default, it looks really cool but like said above only a test, with that being said though reforger would 100% run tanoa with flying colors most likely

[clear sparrow]

Can a mod be added that disables kicking people for team killing?

[old adder]

I guess it could, but why would you want that ? In the best case, you just swap one problem for another

[half locust]

afaik you can disable it if you edit the scenario and remove one of the components

Does the rpg not immediately destroy the Huey? I just played a match and I swear I hit a Huey with the rpg and he kept flying for a bit afterwards before eventually crashing

[foggy ridge]

There's a bug in the game that sometimes makes your explosives not deal damage, hope fixed soon

[trail flint]

Yeah I think the pilot got knocked unconscious or something because I recorded the clip and it definitely hit. Shortly after the heli crashed into the ground

Is it me or Everon map is lacking oaks & chestnut trees? Anyone know if they are gonna do an update on the vegetation in the future?

[errant gorge]

Is there some (server, scenario, you-name-it) setting that can be used to enable/disable drawing on map? Like Arma 3 has drawingInMap = true/false; for the server config.
edit: went through https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Server_Config and there doesn't seem to be anything like that

Asking since playtesting with others has given the impression that the drawings or markers I or others add on their maps aren't showing to other players.

[old adder]

Just make sure you and your friends are on the same channel

Switch channel using the two keys on your keyboard next to "," on the right (do not remember the keys exactly, one of the things I do with memory muscle)

Not everywhere has oaks and chestnuts. The deciduous forests are hornbeams on Everon. Not sure if there are any oak trees dotted around though

[timid parrot]

Hey, I am new to reforger, is it possible to create custom keybinds for the controller? I can't seem to change them in the keybinds

[ember path]

Nope only PC can

[drowsy geode]

Though they were part of the lore of the island.. I mean of course those type of trees would have been introduced by the first settlers, it hardly makes sense those are totally absent, they were far too valuable food crop...

[timid parrot]

I'm on PC, so no custom controller input for flying?

[ember path]

I'm unsure but I don't believe so

[timid parrot]

Okay thanks, hopefully that gets patched

[errant gorge]

Ooohh, could it really be this simple 😮

[topaz whale]

Maybe they all died to a blight. Also possible they are there but just not in sufficient numbers for a forest. I'm not by my PC to check the model names.

[old adder]

my bad I misread, you are talking about Reforger ...
to my knowledge markers are seen by all players from the same side, but IDK if there is a setting to parameter that in a way or another

[errant gorge]

We're on #reforger_questions but oh well.
And yeah, that's what I was asking since seemingly no one could see each others markers or drawings

Anyone know if odin ai is heafty on a server ? I have a 25 slot server with 20 mods and for some reason tonight it kept lagging to 7fps with hardly anything on the map

Do you mean CRX? Odin is a GM extension, not an AI mod.

[mint crypt]

Its this mod right here i thought this is what might be the reason for the server not to run good ? Or mybe percentant loudouts ? Im trying to narrow it down with no luck

[errant ledge]

Unlikely, as I said, it just extends GM. There are no continously running scripts in this mod.

[mint crypt]

Hmmm okay ill have to do more testing then *thanks

[novel river]

Hi everyone, was wondering if there was a mod where it showed your reticle on your screen like call of duty. I joined some server before it actually had this and it was really useful! If anyone knows the name of the mod on workbench it would be greatly appreciated Thank you!

[mint crypt]

Sorry ask the same thing again but heres a pic of 90% of the mods we use in yalls experience witch of these would cause lag ? As we had hardly nothing spawned in and fram rates dropped to 7fps every 5 mins it seemed in a server of 20 with a high memory upgrade to

[gritty wind]

What do your entities percentage look like during the spikes?

[mint crypt]

20% to 30% not many ai squads or dead bodies

[foggy ridge]

Please show charts with processor and memory usage of the server. What is the processor model your server is running on?

[mint crypt]

We've even upgraded memory since then and still have problems

[foggy ridge]

When you say low fps do you mean your fps or server fps as they are separate?

[mint crypt]

Server wide pc and xbox players both had same experience

[foggy ridge]

Ok so not server fps. Either a bug or something is unoptimized

[mint crypt]

Hmm any ideas on how to fix ?

[foggy ridge]

No. Maybe some clues in the console.log file from the game.

[mint crypt]

Thank yea 🙏

[vital urchin]

I am experiencing the same thing @mint crypt and also host with GTX using upgraded memory and other items.

[austere nimbus]

In most cases it's a mod issue, so enable/disable one by one to see which one is the culprit 🤷

[foggy ridge]

upgrading memory capacity doesn't make your server faster

[vocal vale]

when are we getting a fix for the TKs not being punished and the lack of vehicle clearing?

[old adder]

Eventually

[tepid torrent]

i thought TK's are punished?? i know the vehicle clearing is a big issue though

[vocal vale]

we've been having alot of issues in our hardcore servers with no killfeed with griefers taking advantage of it by deliberately teamkilling (shooting down choppers at main/general blatant teamkilling) since the latest patch. We have to rely on GMs to be everywhere at once which is an impossible task so for now we just deal with it. We all just waiting on a patch for it.

The vehicles disappearing is a whole seperate issue too, running logi is a task along with doing sabotage missions with a vic full of items just poofing away as u get out (3rd party trash cleaners). Kinda a mess atm.

[foggy ridge]

why not just enable the killfeed

there are also mods that log teamkills to server log files

[ancient rapids]

or someone has a disable ff mod too... 😉

[vocal vale]

interesting, having the killfeed off in the realism servers for obvious reasons. with it on you know if you unconned a player or got your kill through concealment (treelines etc.). enabling the killfeed takes those chaotic unknowns away from the experience. the better solution would be having a tk limit temp ban

[foggy ridge]

the killfeed has an option to show only your faction, right? might help with tk stuff a little

as in, same faction only or something like that, I might be mistaken

[vocal vale]

not sure, i was hoping and trying to promote the idea of a friendly fire only killfeed that way we can weed out the griefers

not sure if thats scripted or not yet

[vocal vale]

that wont take away from the "realism" aspect of things and will deter people from teamkilling in general

[vocal vale]

as in teamkills only or only showing our kills in general ?

[foggy ridge]

this should show teamkills I think, but not sure if it also shows kills of players that are just part of your faction in general

[vocal vale]

if it shows our kills then that takes away from the realism aspect as we will have confirmation on our kills. a teamkill only killfeed would be ideal for these servers imo

[foggy ridge]

it should show deaths of players of your faction

[vocal vale]

soon, hopefully we get a patch out for the tks and rubbish cleaning to keep the entities to a minimal

[magic pebble]

It doesn't show your kills, it only shows your death. Like when someone kills you, or one of your faction.

I prefer killer and killed, group only. It only shows when you or one of your group is killed.

[vocal vale]

ok cool, is this a mod or vanilla feature?

[magic pebble]

vanilla.

I told a lot of server owners about it, but no one implemented it.

[vocal vale]

youre referring to bacons image above right ?

[magic pebble]

yes, that is vanilla gm, or can be done via the tools when preparing the conflict mode

[vocal vale]

ok, ill try to pass this info on to the server gms

appreciate it guys

you can also get the disable ff mod

[drowsy geode]

despawning of functional vehicles sucks hard, you only needs to clean dead bodies & items and it keeps the server plenty stable, played on a server which such mods and it was a blast, filling your trunks & arsenal trucks felt useful for once, allows you to build a fleet of vehicles at a base without needing to keep light & heavy maintenance points around so you get more room to fill your base with other structures.

[molten rampart]

The recommendations I have seen is a ryzen 7700x or faster single threaded performance for 60+ish players

[lilac narwhal]

DLSS when?

[runic robin]

alright ty

[viral jackal]

Folks maybe i'm dumb, but why the Q | E keybind to cycle radio channels is not working and, even if I have AN/PRC 68 and 77 the Talk over long range radio doesn't seem to work?

[clever pumice]

I found it I think! It's solid!

[haughty sail]

Will there be a system of squadlock of vehicles ? Boring when you struggle to find a truck or btr. Leave it to ressuply and a random just get in and go away with it. I think squad lock could be very useful. So when you do logi you can get out without the fear that someone will steal it. Or while doing BTR

[viral jackal]

Anyone can support?

[verbal socket]

Are the servers down for anyone else

Dm it was at my end

[foggy ridge]

I hope destruction multi phase component will be fixed so it doesn't spawn effects for every single bullet hitting it (so when I break an object with 8 buckshot pellets it explodes into 8 objects)

[coarse plaza]

Is there a mod for conflict that somehow delays the start of the game by about 1-3 minutes, so that people have time to orginise and strategise ?

[haughty sail]

Where are the mod downloaded ? For an unknown reason my mods seems to be on disk C while the game is on disk D

[stable topaz]

Documents > My Games > ArmaReforger > addons

You can change what directory they downloaded to, can't remember how

[haughty sail]

Oh thanks bud, yeah would be better to change it :/

I dont really like having dozens of GB of mods on disk C

well if anyone know how to modify this

#reforger_feedback message i did like this and it work, if anyone wonder, thanks guys

[lusty vector]

Will LAV-25 be coming in the next update?

[terse cloak]

unknown

[old adder]

We never know what is in the updates until the very last moment

[stable topaz]

Have we ever known? Apart from rumours and hotfixes I don't think they tend to announce things in advance. And I expect big updates like AI driving might first go the experimental route again.

[magic pebble]

They release the devblog few hours after the update, so they announce it later, not in advance.

[foggy ridge]

when will the aspirin bottles do something

[next crypt]

Hopefully ai driving and commanding is first, the game is kinda stale without it

[stable topaz]

Right?

[next crypt]

oh yea

Surprised they didn’t add it with 1.0. Super needed features

[stable topaz]

I'm sure they'd have liked to if it was ready, hopefully it'll be early this year

[tepid torrent]

thats what i wanted to know, such a good looking asset not being used

[shut cosmos]

nevermind that I'm just excited for /Demining/MineDetector_US_ANPSS11 and /Demining/MineDetector_USSR_IMP01

[tepid torrent]

i cant wait, sappers are gonna be real

[tepid torrent]

so i am guessing this sort of thing will be used when AI driving is in, it cant be to far away

[sour surge]

👀 👀

[foggy ridge]

they already use pathfinding to walk

[next crypt]

Hoping it’s in the next major update

[modest zenith]

Does anyone know why I get this error message when I try to connect to a modified server?

[celest granite]

Highly unlikely as lav25 is in stage three of the road map and we are in stage 1 1/2

[tepid torrent]

i hope next update is an AI overhaul with driving and such, even freeform bases wouldnt be too much of an ask

[haughty sail]

For next update i wish gun on helicopter or AI driving or mortar

[tepid torrent]

firing from vehicles would indeed be very nice

[haughty sail]

Also im sad they dont do tracked vehicles. Brdm 2 looks so ugly. I wish a BMP1 instead 🥲🥲

[foggy ridge]

in fairness playing arma without mods is like eating chicken wings without the skin

[tepid torrent]

words of wisdom

[quartz lance]

Question is: Without mods would there even be a chicken to eat today?

[haughty sail]

the vanilla is very good too, i love the fuel system, repair system etc, they are doing some very good fundations

[lusty vector]

😭

[lusty vector]

Nah BMD-2 ,

[haughty sail]

meh, bmp1

[half locust]

yes

no tracked vehicles, so BMD/bmps etc are out of the question

[haughty sail]

literally what i said

[half locust]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[haughty sail]

Sad, modder do it, but well vanilla is so much high quality stuff that i understand why they dont wanna do it yet

[old adder]

I don't think that's the reason

adding a whole new mechanic to the game is incredibly hard and long

[haughty sail]

I think its because its very technique, see how everything vanilla is well detailed and of quality

[haughty sail]

so yeah that's the reasona new mechanic that have to work very nice

they probably did and still do tests on that tho

[old adder]

one example is fixed wings, and stuff is kind of junky and people are whinning about it

[haughty sail]

whatever it will take time and work to add that mechanic cause i guess they will want the tracks to have physics like vehicles do, so its complicated i guess

[distant plume]

How do you delete the pen marks on the map? Playing on pc

[shut cosmos]

Hover your mouse over the icon and press Delete key

[distant plume]

I am already doing that, but it won't delete

[shut cosmos]

Are you pressing "Delete" or backspace, they aren't the same

[distant plume]

Delete under ins

[shut cosmos]

Hmm, works for me and it's the default bind.. Also you can only delete your own icons

[distant plume]

I am practicing land navigation in a singleplayer gamemaster

[shut cosmos]

🤷‍♂️ I've not fired the game up in SP for months other than for Workbench purposes

[distant plume]

Ok, guess I'll try it online to see if it works

[shut cosmos]

Nah it appears to work fine for me on Everon GM, are you using a modded map maybe?

[topaz whale]

I assume that if you hover over it there isn't an X in the middle either?

Is there a channel for Combat Ops that I'm not seeing?

[distant plume]

I was on Everon

[distant plume]

There is an X, but pressing delete does nothing

[topaz whale]

Can you try pressing the X?

[celest granite]

I personally have always been a god at reading maps

[distant plume]

Nothing happens if I do that too

[celest granite]

Brdm is a sexy beast (for the 60-70’s) I have been in love with it since I saw the 4 auxiliary wheels that it has under its centre to help with ground clearance when traversing over stuff
I but hope that also add the command Variant for the FIA

[haughty sail]

Come on bro. Are you drunk or something ? Brdm is ugly. Cant compare it with the holy BMP2 🥰

Or bmp1 if we have to stay in the 60s

[tepid torrent]

I disagree, brdm-2 is so cute

[haughty sail]

https://tenor.com/view/scaredtodeath-frightened-gif-7232934

Now compare it with the lav 25 that the us will have 🤡😂

[haughty sail]

Hey how the vehicle management point work ? i got one in the middle of nowhere and the game tell me there is an obstacle to spawn them

[tepid torrent]

i looks perfect for reconnaissance, or a fire support role, oh wait thats what its intended use is!

[haughty sail]

i mean esthetic. not its role

[tepid torrent]

i still think it is cute 😆

[coarse plaza]

how to make autokick script work in conflict?

It seemed to stop working after 1.0

[half hatch]

Does anyone have a mod that has a Ghille suit for reforger ?

[swift citrus]

Is there going to be any light artillery, like 105mm towed artillery, or just mortars?

[half locust]

just mortars

[half locust]

#enf_mods_feedback

[true flume]

Until someone hopefully mods in the 105s or 150s

[haughty sail]

Is there a mod that make AI dont move or dont shoot ? So i can place them in GM and they dont move everywhere when the firefight start

[haughty sail]

Well i find what i needed. CRX Enfusion A.I is perfect

[regal turtle]

Is anyone tested dynamic range settings in audio tab?
Is there any benefits with this setting changed from default?

[young obsidian]

Are there any plans to add vanilla ghillie... Maybe after the roadmap, or will the new content only be in the roadmap and then nothing else?

[half locust]

if it isn’t on roadmap, slim chances

[young obsidian]

Sadly

[slow pagoda]

its a piece of specialist gear Id suppose

not something the basic army dudes on the theater would use

[young obsidian]

I think this also applies to suppressors

[tardy rune]

set it to 0% to make environmental noises louder, other side makes them quieter. i reccomend turning it down to 0, the environmental sounds are really good, but you cant even hear them

[hazy nebula]

uhh is it normal for example walls of houses n other models to be loading super slowly? theyre always invisible for me when i spawn in and sometimes even when im just walking around

exmaple some models just arent loading in, for an example walls but the windows n doors r loaded

so theyre just kinda awkwardly floating in the air before the wall loads in

and ingeneral icons in the arsenal load super slow

[tardy rune]

both of these things happen to everyone

[tepid torrent]

I hope this gets fixed or improved in next patch, we have been putting up with this problem for a while now

[ebon obsidian]

You can but the sound fidelity in the game is so astonishing that you need actually proper headphones and a decent sound card to hear most of the soundscape

[tardy rune]

well, if you have them thats what i recommend. i wish you could make the environmental noises even louder though, still cant really hear them even set to 0%.

[ebon obsidian]

Yeah, that's true I think

[mint crypt]

Does anyone know how the mortars work?

[gleaming holly]

Mortars arent in vanilla yet, theres a mortar mod so if youre using that id say ask the author. Not sure who made it off the top of my head

[true flume]

The mortar mod says in the description it isn't modelled to be a properly functional mortar and work realistically how they should do, and don't have plans to ever do that.

It is pretty much a reskinned grenade launcher mounted to the ground with higher power/speed when propelled

And bugs out alot like the GL hitting the mortar hotbox and bouncing backwards

[grim otter]

I've seen that happen in Arma 3 where the mortar just keeps firing and it's just ascending into the stratos.

[true flume]

When BI add working mortars it will be a game changer, might let modders make 155 artillery

[mint crypt]

I just assumed with the different rounds that there was a way for it to work it just wasnt realistic i figure i was missing something i played with it for 2 hours never could figure out were
The rounds were going

[true flume]

It used to work great, then it broke then good then broke and now it's been broke for about 2 months. The rounds decide where to land and travel further then most artillery batteries can launch rounds

[tranquil jasper]

how many ranks are there in conflict and can I get a list of them from private to major

[shut cosmos]

Renegade
Private
Corporal
Sergeant
Lieutenant
Captain
Major

[snow fossil]

When was the last update of the game? I dont mean hotfix.

[shut cosmos]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/news/update-december-14-2023

just go back into the news section and look

[snow fossil]

Thanks. Hopefully we see something new soon. Atm only community is cooking

[tranquil jasper]

Thanks

[vestal meteor]

Enfiusion

I’m looking for an Bi developer or even someone who have guides to importing textures
There isn’t a lot provided from Bohemia it self

So my question is, how you guys at BI would import or create a new texture for use in Enfiusion
It works fine in blender but when i imported it, it will show white and flat

Same with my red ground texture they all become flat and white

What am I missing or what is the way to import textures to the editor currently

is there an actual guide on these things ? Or could someone with more knowledge or even a official dev explain it better

[slow pagoda]

#enfusion_texture would be the channel

[fervent quarry]

How much does the amount of mods a server has affect the performance of the server?

[slow pagoda]

depends a lot on what mods do

and how well they are made

there is no linear curve to measure it

[tepid torrent]

Mods that add more content will generaly make loading slower and i think affect arsenal performance, any mods that have modified scripts have a chance of being quite unoptimized so keep an eye on them and pick the combination the works best

[foggy ridge]

there is no direct relation between quantity of mods and performance of server

make sure that you are not mistaking your own FPS or your game's performance for the server's performance as they are separate (sometimes they correlate but not caused by the same reasons)

[tepid torrent]

have we found out why the correlation occurs yet?

[foggy ridge]

I just mean they can both be low at the same time but for different reasons

[stray blade]

To be fair, with some exceptions (eg mods that attempt fix of garbage collector), mods dont improve preformance, they always degrade it. How much, depends on mod and what it does. Be that additional script game has to run, additional models, icons, increased load time etc.
Well written mods degrade preformance so minutely its not noticable, badly made mods can have huge impact for what they are supposed to do.

So your server can run 50 mods, that dont make any noticable preformance drop, or have 1 mod that hugely drops preformance.

[terse cloak]

Preformance

[stray blade]

Meh, spelling is hard

[old adder]

Yeah I remember that discussion once, guy was running "only" 10 mods on his server and was furious he couldn't have more than 15 fps on the server
Turns out one of them was a "total conversion" mod, and just by looking in the comments everyone was complaining of low performances 😁

[fervent quarry]

Thank you guys for the great responses.
I help staff a server and there was a debate going I figured the best people to consult would be the people who actually work with the game and its mods.
Thanks again.

[tepid torrent]

yep, sounds like job for not one, but two hampsters

[atomic meteor]

Why was jsoc equipment banned?

[half locust]

are you the author?

[ancient rapids]

Good question! Would be nice if a mod is banned, then if it's in a servers config file it won't load that mod. My server ran empty all night and didn't realize people couldn't join because of a banned mod. Stolen assets or something? O.o

[atomic meteor]

Thats a good idea actually. That way the servers can keep running. Ive been told it was because of copyrighted assets.

[ancient rapids]

Sheesh, people need to learn they can't just do anything they want!

Well... They can, but there can be consequences!

[uneven smelt]

Question, can someone point me in the direction of a tutorial or something that shows how to add markers on a map (Xbox)

[stray blade]

Ingame tutorial

under scenarios, i think course is called map reading or navigation or smthing

[uneven smelt]

Yeah sweet. I’m losing my shit trying to add map markers in a private server 😂

[quaint cargo]

Buddy came to discord before just playing the tutorial 😭😔

We r doomed

[stray blade]

Well bohemia did a good job at hiding it

[dapper topaz]

Sanity check me please ... we can use more than Everon with Game Master mode, correct? not looking to create a project, just want to fire up another map and build a mission in Game Master before game time

[tepid torrent]

they did indeed

[celest granite]

Quick question in the sea around ports there are obviously the buoys but then there are yellow things the are chained to the sea floor what are they

[stable topaz]

Red and green buoys are for navigation. Yellow and other colours might be for mooring, hazard marking, collecting weather data, etc.

[tepid torrent]

Pelican spawn points

[vast violet]

hey, anyone knows about reforger on hdd? i see zero mentions on google about it

[half locust]

define reforger on hdd. What is the question

[vast violet]

running the game on a mechanical hard drive

how's performance on it

[half locust]

no idea, i thought no one has HDD for anything but storage / backups and other thing like that, not OS and game drives (or whatever requires streaming from)

[vast violet]

hdd is still king at large storages for gaming unfortunately

[half locust]

guess that is the reason for not finding any data on search

[half locust]

is it? not around here it isn't....

[vast violet]

i guess it really depends

but if you have multiple large games its better to have an hdd, ssds performance are better at lower capacities, higher capacities are pretty expensive too

[half locust]

anyways, since the best improvement in terms of performance for PCs in general is an SDD, i would wager it is still relevant for most games

you can ask in #hardware_vs_arma btw

[vast violet]

okay

i mean i was specifically asking for reforger but i guess it fits there, thanks

[stray blade]

Ssd does help alot

[vast violet]

okay thanks for confirming

[trim sky]

Is ai driving coming along well?

[supple wigeon]

Yep

[celest granite]

I play reforger on a hdd and the only issue I seem to have is just a Initial rendering

[tepid torrent]

hopefully

we havent gotten any visual evidence to suggest the system is working yet, would eb nice to have shown in a devlog, like the ones back in the old days where they showed sneak peaks of progress

[raw trench]

Is Reforger coming to Ps5 anytime soon?

[terse cloak]

Unkwon, best is just to wait

[burnt temple]

hey guys. how i can set my finish .ent mission aso on my server right now

[bleak arch]

How do I obtain a scenario ID?

[ancient rapids]

in the mod > serverData.json or on the workshop website under the scenarios tab for the mod. Or the pins in #reforger_servers for the vanilla IDs

[bleak arch]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/5E172C6CAD10FBFC

I don’t see a scenario tab for this? I’d now assume it’s needs a scenario to be put on a multiplayer server and played?

[ancient rapids]

must just be a map without a scenario? 🤷‍♂️

[bleak arch]

Nvm I found a ID in the pin in #reforger_servers thx!

[haughty sail]

I guess it will come on play since there is some parameters for PS4 in the arma tools. Not sure tho

[digital crane]

no way a ps4 would be able to run it

[haughty sail]

Maybe its written PS4 cause when they created the engine the PS5 was not out yet

By the way, im making the tutorials missions for the achievements, in the map navigation tuto when i place marker on 023-017 nothing happen. Any ideas ?

[lyric parrot]

Whys my Nitrado server keep going into a restart loop?

[rich spindle]

any news on when we can expect some sort of experimental or base game update?

[terse cloak]

no

earliest im gonna say could be tuesday or thursday next week, and longest could be 50 million years

[rich spindle]

got it, thanks

[haughty sail]

Anyone know if it exist a mod or WIP that remove the tip about your position on the bottom right corner, drop you somwhere on everon with an objective to reach ? So you just have to use your compass, map and tools to reach that point

[proud thistle]

Herroh peeps, is there some way to load the exact mods that a server has loaded for the purposes of game master mission preparation?

[tardy rune]

are you the server owner?

[proud thistle]

Nope, I can ask him for stuff tho

Hm I guess I could use the servers command line?
Other ways that I can do just from the server browser/etc. would be nice though

[tardy rune]

well if youre patient enough you can see the modlist when youre joining, so just sit on that screen and write them down, then pull up your mod manager, pick them out 1 by 1 and make a preset after so you dont have to do it again

[proud thistle]

heh the manual option

[tardy rune]

you could also ask the server owner for the json and i think that would work, but the manual method really doesnt take that long

then just save it to a mod preset afterwards.
hope this helped

[proud thistle]

Yus, thanku

[haughty sail]

Does the merch printed everon map the same scale as in game ?

[snow fossil]

In square kilometres?

[foggy ridge]

it's a big map

[haughty sail]

No like. 1/25000 things like that

I just wonder if i can plan a trajectory using a real proractor on the Everon paper map

[crystal fable]

In Reforger can you do missions with Zeus like in Arma 3? with the clan, team and that

[haughty sail]

Basically the same its called Game Master

[tepid torrent]

it is also better than zeus in quite a few ways

[terse cloak]

Yeah but at the same time cant move ai vehicles yet

[haughty sail]

Yeah there is many things you cant do in GM that you could in Zeus. With the AI stance, combat awareness etc. But i guess it will come later and GM will be an upgraded Zeus

[crystal fable]

We can or not?

[terse cloak]

You can

[haughty sail]

Yes. You can be up in the sky. Place units. Give them basic order. Place preset compositions

[crystal fable]

Okey

It’s better than arma 3?

[haughty sail]

I would say its WIP

[terse cloak]

I would say its missing a lot cant really compare

Right now you cant really compare a3 to reforger, i say stay with a3 until reforger is fully done

Im waitin for a escape mod

[stray blade]

Where would you escape to?

[terse cloak]

Away from everon

I was playing spearhead escape and sometimes it would load altis so we would be in ww2 in altis lol

[haughty sail]

Dont agree. Reforger worth playing it. Dont expect as much diversity of stuff and vehicle as A3 but it still very enjoyable

Damn now i wanna see Malden on Reforger

[terse cloak]

If u expect a a3 level then just wait till a4 or end of reforger

[haughty sail]

Oh yeah i agree on that

[terse cloak]

I think soundtrack has a malden song

[haughty sail]

Didnt noticed it

[stray blade]

Going off regorger site, that everon is located in "mid-atlantic" and that longest range vehicle is mi8 with 600km range, you really cant escape anywhere but into the sea. Except maybe arland

So you could have fun little scenario "Escape from Everon" and when you escape, it auto starts "Escape from Arland", where you escape back to Everon.
So you can keep escaping back and forth in hope of a better life.

[terse cloak]

Arland is 30km of everon isnt it

[stray blade]

Ugh, honestly no idea, but apparently "close"

[terse cloak]

The map says how close,

[haughty sail]

From the wiki 31km to the south-east Everon coast

[stray blade]

In deluxe folder you can check map that includes both

[terse cloak]

Yeah thats where it says it

[haughty sail]

Imagine. Going south east of Everon in helicopter and you teleport in the north west of Everon. Would be dope

[stray blade]

Yeah, it does require STS (Server To Server) to transition, and while there were some talks about it, i dont think it will be implemented

(Or a map change)

[haughty sail]

By modder and server maker maybe

[stray blade]

Dont think mods can force player to connect to another server

[haughty sail]

So the "new island loading" will be a save of the previous one

[haughty sail]

I dont know about that

[stray blade]

Idk in arma3, ive done STS with a stargate mod. When player went thru stargate, to another planet, it connected them to another server, with diffrent map, preserved their loadout and medical condition.

But it is quite a hacky way to connect a player to other server, using a script by KillzoneKid which simulates player pressing buttons on various dialogs

[tepid torrent]

yes, i would more say that is an ai lacking issue rn

[terse cloak]

Left, unkown tent,

[haughty sail]

Idk technical stuff. But im sure its possible. If you did on A3 i guess will work on reforger

[stray blade]

Well all im saying is: ive seen it done in a3, via hacky method.
Ive never seen it attempted/done in reforger.

[haughty sail]

Game is too young. Well we'll see anyway

[stray blade]

Eh almost 2 years old now

[haughty sail]

Its not that old

[tepid torrent]

2 years old and it still doesnt know how to walk

[terse cloak]

Neighbours kid

[haughty sail]

As long as we got all that on A4 its good. Thats why reforger exist. Like a long playtest

[terse cloak]

Paid

[haughty sail]

Worth it

[terse cloak]

But i mean bi needs money so gotta support em

[haughty sail]

Yeah. I dont mind paying for it. Im having fun, it support them financially, and we test all stuff for Arma 4 so im good

[stray blade]

1 year 8 months

(Roughly)

[haughty sail]

Not old to me

Just hope that in 1 year and 8 months, the AI will drive

[tepid torrent]

i just hope that you are wrong and we get it sooner

[haughty sail]

We will. 100%

[tepid torrent]

85% is my faith

[haughty sail]

Maybe next big update. Maybe not. As long as there is mortars at least im happy

[terse cloak]

I recon heli mg and maybe improvemennts for the game

[haughty sail]

I almost play only soviet. But i think i will switch when the new IFV will come. I dont wanna deal with BRDM2. So ugly. Lav25 looks way better

[terse cloak]

im gonna play both but for more fun russians are always the way

[haughty sail]

I play soviet cause we already play US in all games

[quaint copper]

I play Soviets cause they're always outnumbered, yet still always win more

[haughty sail]

True

[terse cloak]

Xbox players tend to be majority us, some of the play us to larp, some play it due to them being american. xbox is new to these games and play on controllers.

[haughty sail]

What i love is the TKs. I think xbox players expect their tmate to have a nametag even 300m away. How much time teammates shoot at me from distance. It really take one button to press to use binos.. im sick of that. Thry should add a thing in the tutorial about identification before shooting

[old adder]

For them it's the first game brought to console that really play the "tactical" card (even if Reforger is far less tactical than A3 in this state), so be patient they need to learn

[haughty sail]

Killing everyone on sight is not learning. A 2mn tutorial added to the shooting tutorial wont be difficult to add

[glossy forum]

when i try to use G to switch channels on radio, nothing happens. any idea?

[vestal meteor]

anyone know how to fix the 70fov thing?
i got people complaining about the fov is locked

[haughty sail]

Do we know if the mortars will have a realistic range ? For the 2b14 4km ?
Also i hope it will be a calculus to do. With mils and degrees

[quiet timber]

is there an optimization guide for reforger? I run a Ryzen 5 3600x and a RX6700xt with 32gb ram and i suffer lots of stuterings.

[slow pagoda]

typically that has been related to game being installed on a slow drive

[foggy ridge]

if the game takes a long time to load yes, stutter during gameplay... not really, I am on a samsung pro nvme and the game still stutters when entities are being streamed in

buildings loading furniture first when you turn around? that one's just a bug

[tardy rune]

im going to guess not. the an/prc-77 irl has a range of 8 km. in game it has a range of 1.9. i think they tend to shorten things like this to help due to the smaller scale of everon

[quiet timber]

i run on a m.2 nvme ssd

[haughty sail]

🥲 what the point of a mortar if its too short

[terse cloak]

in squad mortars hit max like 1200m

its understandable if the range has been altered

but i mean in a3 mortars could hit like 3-6km or more

[haughty sail]

Yeah A3 is big maps usually

[terse cloak]

well theres all kinds of maps in a3, def some which are same size as everon

[quaint copper]

Everon is a small map in Arma terms
The average A3 map was 18x18, nearly twice the size of Everon

[terse cloak]

oh yeah a lot of maps are much larger compared to everon

[tardy rune]

i would guess itll have a range of like 1.5 km. i really hope they keep the calcs manual and not with an artillery computer. i have a feeling they will.

[quaint copper]

A single mortar on Everon could hit nearly half of the map, anywhere you place it
The M252s coming to Vanilla have 4 KM of range, thats setting one up outside Military base levie, and shelling Montignac

[haughty sail]

For a 80s mortar i hope the calculus. Not computer like A3. Its so boring

[tardy rune]

im pretty sure it will. reforger has a weird mix of hardcore mechanics and then a bunch of super dumbed down ones. i think this will be a more hardcore one

[haughty sail]

I dont see a 80s mortar with a computer system to shoot. + it would be so bad. Having to calculate the distance and azimut would be interesting. Would make a whole new gameplay

Insted of just the arma "click to shoot"

[stray blade]

In a3 artillery computer can be simply disabled by single line. And you have to do calculations OR even faster use a range table.

Mortar range can be simply limited in game by charges you can attach to the shell. Eg just shell with primer (charge 0 or no charge) wont reach 4km. But in realistic terms you can stuff charge higher than mortar allows, cracking the tube or outright exploding it.
(Those are them colored rings that you attach to shell)

[tardy rune]

this would be a fun feature lol. taste the rainbow

[stray blade]

Which part attaching rings or exploding cause you mixed wrong colors?

[haughty sail]

Yes but if its the user that chose some will use computer and will be faster and have better precisions. And those who want realism will take more time and less precision. Its like the actual gear system in reforger. Either totally automatic, partially automatic or manual. Some will be faster being in auto. While i will take more time in manual. But we both play the same server

[stray blade]

No, in a3 it was a script command enableEngineArtillery which was ran by mission or mod to disable arty computer on any player.

Not a user setting

[haughty sail]

Oooh my bad. I didnt knew that

Well i hope it will be the same then if there is computer

[stray blade]

Or it could be a server setting

[haughty sail]

No computer at all is better

[stray blade]

I mean for casual gameplay its not bad. But for hardcore or milsim its not really welcome. And yes arty computers existed in 80s but they were defo not used for mortars

[terse cloak]

Have an option to turn it on or off, easy fix

[haughty sail]

Its not about milsim or anything. Im not into milsim but we'll see

[old adder]

That option is never easy to do ^^ you need to balance either feature (and that's easier said than done in a wip game where everything need to be balanced)

[tardy rune]

the mortar exploding.

[stray blade]

Together with head and shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes of the gunner

[haughty sail]

These text errors are from the mods ? It seem i have this with almost all my mods, just noticed it

[gleaming holly]

Maybe? I ran an Overthrow server and never encountered that and currently play on a very heavily modded server that doesn't seem to have that issue. What mods are you running?

[haughty sail]

I was running him only and had that problem

[foggy ridge]

Maybe localization is broken somehow

[haughty sail]

I checked game file all is ok. So idk

[clever jackal]

Anyone know how to fix slow download speeds? I have very good internet yet I'm geting 999+ ms in relation to bohemia workshop servers

Other people I know in the same region aren't having this issue

[fossil condor]

when update?

[terse cloak]

Earliest thursday, latest 69 years

[tepid torrent]

by that point multiple generations would pass and the 1.0 update would be shrouded in mystery, lost to time

[terse cloak]

arma 6

[half locust]

reforger is post 1.0 btw

[tepid torrent]

officially

[young grail]

Try restarting the game and console if your on Xbox, happens every now and then for me

[grave snow]

Hi guys, so reforger is on sale on steam atm, i want to get it but im mostly a singleplayer/co-op/scenarios player. Is there much content available atm?

[terse cloak]

Not many

And ai isnt that sophisticated currently

[grave snow]

so its not worth picking up at this moment in time?

[terse cloak]

best to wait once theres more ai stuff.

[topaz whale]

I agree with slamsgt. I'm mostly a coop and SP player and I play like once a month because there just isn't enough there for it to be fun more than that.

[haughty sail]

I got my answer, my game is in French, i guess the mod have localization for english only, i'll try

[stray blade]

U can offer your translation to mod maker 😉

[haughty sail]

I could. Ive translated so many indie game already. But they should make a system so when the player dont have the matching language they force the mod to use the default one

[haughty sail]

So yeah, just tested with the game in english, i have the texts etc, so doing something like "make a system so when the player dont have the matching language they force the mod to use the default one" this could be a good idea to prevent that

[half locust]

yeah it isn't mod related unfortunately. never tested since all my games are in english, BUUT i am told it used to work before just like you suggested

[haughty sail]

Well it seems it doesnt work anymore, cant say why

[haughty sail]

well about artillery we have our "almost answer" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdJvFV4mVxw

[molten rampart]

everyone is just gonna use a online tool anyways

[haughty sail]

still take a moment to setup, the computer of A3 is 2 click and you shoot

[terse cloak]

2 click and wait 5 sec and then shoot

[haughty sail]

yes

[magic pebble]

the online tool will be 5 clicks instead of 2

[haughty sail]

Lol, yeah. 5 click to setup, then just one click to change the target position

But still, the tool will give you the mils, and degree to put on the mortar, so you will have to use the tool, put the data on the mortar and then shoot

[clever jackal]

I'm on PC

I've reset my router, restarted the computer multiple times

Still downloads at an extremely slow speed, and sometimes I get and error saying the connection was lost

[quiet timber]

are the servers this bad all the time? been trying to update a mod and it just refuses to do tha. and then the connection gets disconnected due to "Bohemia backend initialization error" how to fix?

[quiet timber]

How to fix this?

[austere nimbus]

No idea what the error code means, but a mismatch of resources seems like running incorrect mods or different versions of mods.
And as message indicates; the log might give more information

[rich spindle]

any way to set up the pkm tripod without gamemaster's help? like in arma 3 where you had a backpack for the tripod

[hidden vigil]

If you're able to locate what mods are causing this, Uninstall them and reinstall works for me, the suspects as of late for me have been kunar, PLA, Bradley and BGONE

[quiet timber]

Roger, I'll try that

[quiet timber]

It said something about SCR addon manager

[quiet timber]

even tried verifying game files

heres the log file

[primal bronze]

what comes with arma reforger deluxe?

[vestal sinew]

i think its just digital art and the sountrack

i might be missing something but thats what they gave to people who bought the game before it came out

[primal bronze]

ohh okay thanks

[plain nimbus]

I don't want to ping any devs or moderators but I would like to know if it would be acceptable or not to share a pdf I have of the Field Manual that is a bunch of stitched together screen shots from inside the in game Field Manual. ?

[half locust]

@signal spruce ^

[atomic hawk]

I thought i read from the game somewhere about the higher the rank of the radioman the better. How does make the radioman better?

[magic pebble]

Shorter spawn time.

[atomic hawk]

Oh thank you

[magic pebble]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/roadmap

[half locust]

no planes

no continents either, just islands 😉

on a serious note - no nuclear bomb bombs are listed in roadmap

and to limit next following questions - not listed on roadmap = not planned

[celest granite]

All the content in arma reforger is to be the bed rock of mechanics for the arma 4

[sand verge]

hey, I have a few questions as a new player. I jumped into conflict and joined a squad. After that I realised I can't find my squad on the map (individual players). Only thing I could find was a map marker identifying the position of the squad but I don't know what that means - maybe the squad leader? Because of that I don't really know where to spawn and when I picked a spawn I was even more lost because nobody was using the radio (I don't know the range of the radio either). The question is how do I find and join my squad in the middle of a running game? Years ago I played arma 3, mostly on a pve server that had a dedicated staging area for each squad and individual players positions were marked on the map at all times.

[celest granite]

Most of that can be answered with, not only do you have to find the answer yourself but you also have the write the equation yourself

[magic pebble]

Squad in the game are not like actual squads that stick together. The mark on the map is your squad leader, and it refresh the position every 10 seconds.

Your best bet for any resemble of team work is to spawn at a base, and tag along with people there.

[sand verge]

So an insane learning curve basically?

[sand verge]

Oh ok, that explains why I found so many other players wandering around by themselves. Maybe it's a good idea to find a server that focuses more on teamplay and not official servers?

[cerulean token]

Squad Leaders are indeed marked on the map, it's the diamond with a square pattern. Your own squad leader has a more vibrant and non-transparent shade of red icon. If you right click on the map and select "Request transport", you are able to select your squad leader as something to teleport to. You're asked to select your own position on the map however, only then are you teleported.

[celest granite]

Not really, you just need to have some Initiative

[sand verge]

thanks, will try that on official servers

[sand verge]

I really did my best haha I tried talking to every player near me and everyone was just running in his own direction, not communicating anything. The only radio talk in about half an hour was a guy saying a sentence on platoon frequency radio. Maybe I just had a bad luck with the servers

[magic pebble]

It's the same across all servers. The mode conflict in it's current iteration doesn't lend it self well to teamplay.

You can't have teamplay that happens naturally, someone must always make the effort to herd players, and make them play together, which in my experience, doesn't happen, and when it does, doesn't last long.

[slow pagoda]

It is pretty much same on any other public play multiplayer game. Sometimes team cooperation happens, sometimes not.

[celest granite]

I have only experienced this once aussies are generally pretty talkative

[void shadow]

Can we expect ai ability to drive in next update? It's ridicilous to make missions for players only against infantry..

[old adder]

We can expect it, but we can't be 100% sure it will be the case

[tepid torrent]

flip a coin

[void shadow]

Ye i figure thats how it is with current state of bohemia lol

[tawny shale]

where can i find the setting to rebind my camera switch?

[old adder]

[tawny shale]

pc

[old adder]

control -> common -> toggle perspective

[tawny shale]

thanks

and do you know if its possibe to bind a hotas setup to heli controrls

[old adder]

I think it's not supported rn but not sure

[half locust]

afaik HOTAS/joystick support is NIL atm (bound to change at some point)

[tawny shale]

what does that mean?

[terse cloak]

its not supported

[tawny shale]

ok thanks

and where do i select my input divise, beucase i feel like pepol cant here me

[old adder]

steam parameters

does it work in other games ?

[tawny shale]

i think so

[old adder]

does the mic symbol appaer when you press "t" ?

you need to hold it

[tawny shale]

yes

[old adder]

either it's a game problem or people ignore you

[terse cloak]

you can set your mic in the windows settings

[tawny shale]

whait how do i change the radio frequensy?

[old adder]

windows ?

[terse cloak]

operating system

[terse cloak]

press g then you can select one of the radios and scroll or ctrl scroll wheel

[old adder]

oh right okay I thought it was a parameter panel in the game I didn't know about x)

[terse cloak]

oh no, only way to set the right mic is to set the default mic on windows

[old adder]

he said it works on other games so probably not that kind of issue, but checking does not hurt
