reforger_questions

[tawny shale]

okay

[terse cloak]

well in other games he may have set the microphone to not be the default

[old adder]

true, but if he knew in others games how to change his mic input, I guess he would know how to do some google search about AR
but yeah that's an assumption (and assumptions kill)

[keen bone]

i keep crashing any help?

[old adder]

provide way more details and log in #reforger_troubleshooting

[celest granite]

Like crashing a helicopter?

[clear sparrow]

Is there any conflict modes on like everon that have no AI ?

Just player vs player on a big conflict match

[amber echo]

Is there a notable benefit in terms of performance when using a dedicated server on the same machine you're playing on vs hosting in game? I know in ArmA 3 there was a huge difference but what about reforger? (I want to play against some ai)

[tardy rune]

if youre playing by yourself only just host one in game through game master or whatever, wont be a problem

[foggy ridge]

I think it would on a busy server with a bunch of people

for something like under a dozen players maybe not worth it

I know the server bottlenecks at 4 or so cores of a ryzen 7700

[fluid hornet]

Would it be possible to have more detailed destructibility of buildings, like blowing up a hole on a wall of a building, or is it off limits because of the scale the game is running at with big maps and so?

[magic pebble]

It won't be a thing in vanilla. The destruction will be akin to what we had in a 3.

[fluid hornet]

That's what I expected to hear

[tepid torrent]

there will be some cool particles it shatters into but like what Ivan said there will be a fine state and a destroyed state, a little bit dissapointing but i understand the reasoning behind such decisions

we just need someone to reveal the frostbite engine secrets

but being able to knock over trees will be a very welcomed change

[terse cloak]

being behind a damaged btr, with the engine having the black smoke, affects the frames by atleast -10

[fluid hornet]

I guess the walls have sleeping, individual and divided models that activate once damage is applied. The building could have a single hitbox, but upon impact it calculates the point of damage, activates the sleeping models from that wall and hides the static model. This solution would save up resources as long as the walls are intact

Could be a fun project to try and implement that in the workbench

[cerulean token]

Try looking at an Mi8 with supplies cooking off. 16 fps, gradually gets worse

[terse cloak]

yeah, burning vehicles need optimization

[tepid torrent]

Only problem with that would be calculating if the rest of the building will collapse, otherwise this approach would make it so you can have floating building halves, so while it does indeed sound a mole it just adds so much more complexity that I honestly don't thinks enfusions multiplayer capabilities will be able to facilitate

[tough abyss]

Some tweaks and optimizations have been merged recently

Not yet out

[terse cloak]

thats awesome!

[fluid hornet]

Sure, it would be complex, but definitely possible. Maybe by grouping certain structures in the building to carry each other's weight and when enough or all of the carrying structures are gone it will also get destroyed. But yeah, it would surely be very demanding to simulate in a multiplayer server, at least in the scale of Arma games

[magic pebble]

I'm cool with a3 type destruction as long I don't get a slide show every time there is an explosion

[tepid torrent]

Definately possible, however the roadmap states that there will be two damage systems, so this could still be on the cards

[tepid torrent]

I honestly want something fresh

[magic pebble]

hot take, I won't even mind it if destruction was fully removed for performance

[fluid hornet]

But what if... we had 1%:er servers with complete destruction simulation for people with super computers at hand? Not that I would be included lol

[violet lava]

How do you drive the Mi-8 on the ground?

[stray blade]

Release brake, tilt forward and do slight collective

[tepid torrent]

Server performance would be the biggest problem imo, client side destruction should not be to bad

[drowsy geode]

Is the BTR we currently have feature complete? I'm wondering if we'll be able to open those side port holes to shoot from, top exits, using the vision sights and there's a bunch of interior lights we can't turn on.

[molten rampart]

shooting from vehicles not planned rn, cant comment on the rest

[lucid tulip]

Disappointing. Initially the destruction in enfusion was hyping up to be more advanced then what it was in arma 3

[magic pebble]

that 'akin' is my sentence is doing a lot of heavy lifting. I just want to make that clear. The exact words were "Will use solutions that was used in a3, but it will feels, look, and sound betters".

[cerulean token]

Even in it's most basic form it will be an enormous amount of work. Really curious how they will pull it off, already have a picture in mind.

[quaint cargo]

Saw a long time ago a video of the destruction turned on somehow. It seemed pretty in depth. Like wood panels breaking apart on an outhouse as it was shot at.

But maybe that was just some wierd dream and I’m mis remembering

[cerulean token]

Thats already ingame

[quaint cargo]

Silly me

[marsh pagoda]

We want killable trees and squishy houses.
There were plans for "advanced" destrcution before.

The advanced was probably the procedual destruction 😭

[quaint cargo]

I knew I wasn’t crazy and the wording did infact change.

Very sad, but understandable

[magic pebble]

we already have few models of destroyed buildings, so if they do it like a3, the standard model will simply change to the destroyed one when the building takes enough damage.
Hopefully, this means they will have to make tons of new variants for each model, and I can't wait to use those new models.

[lucid tulip]

yeah i could of sworm was some old video predating AR release and some dev was showcasing some prototype of building destruction that was being made for enfsusion, that was posted here at one point.

[marsh pagoda]

I am on a samsung pro nvme and the game still stutters when entities are being streamed in
Could you please report stuttering on the feedback tracker, maybe it will get fixed faster if more of us reprot 🙏

[foggy ridge]

If repro steps are "play the game" I'm not sure it's worth making a report

QA probably doesnt play the game with 5 GB worth of mods, though, so those assets are probably being loaded when it stutters

[marsh pagoda]

hardware survey for repro
I get stutters on vanilla even

Just join any vanilla conflict and fast travel to the target town 🤡
Stutter speedrun any%

The game is ~14GB, there shouldn't be any stutters at all.
There's clearly a big issue somewhere 😭 (unrelated to storage devices)

[tepid torrent]

i only just noticed that 😢

[tepid torrent]

yes stuttering and long loading times for sounds and buildings is ridiculous

[marsh pagoda]

🙏 please report https://feedback.bistudio.com/

[tepid torrent]

lods are still broken in some cases as well, and exiting vehicles makes your game somehow foreget the texture on your weapon forcing it to reload the textures

[foggy ridge]

The long building load is a different thing

[tepid torrent]

yes, but still a visual bug that drives me crazy, it is like you are looking at a oil painting with a massive hole in it

[slim raptor]

can you save loadouts on server so if you join again your loadout is still there?

[terse cloak]

No

[foggy ridge]

not in vanilla

[slim raptor]

okay

[topaz whale]

Game 2 Destruction when!?!

[snow fossil]

Damn I still got preview in my magazine. What ambition!

[topaz whale]

There's a better screenshot of a mosque or church showing it but I couldn't find it.

[slow pagoda]

Technically it could be done I'm sure. Just all the parts would need to be modeled and put together. Even in RV engine you could do a multi part destruction and in A3 make physx gib parts fall down. It's just immensely more time consuming to develop

[foggy ridge]

just implement voronoi shattering with the ability to texture faces differently (ie. bricks on the inside faces, plaster on the outside)

[stray blade]

Nah model each brick/beam/concrete block. All physix. And they have to be structually sound to begin with. So you can make new entrance by crashing btr into a building

[snow fossil]

Teardown but no voxels

[violet raven]

I'm not hearing bullet snaps/cracks on certain modded maps. Is that a map issue or something else going on?

[quasi marten]

anyone noticing AI "teleporting" through doors recently? On a dedicated server I run. Everything seems to be running fine like usual but recently noticing AI just... don't open doors anymore?

[chilly briar]

When AI driving and commanding arrives, will conflict feel like a real war?

I'd love to see AI convoys and small skirmishes throughout the map

[drowsy geode]

They've shown a prototype at a conference back in 2022 of buildings assets being cut into segments similar to your pic

[deep galleon]

Why doesn't BI make shotguns? Is it an engine issue or a lack of experience/knowledge? The shotguns added to Arma 3 are terrible and don't match real life shotgun ballistics (buckshot spreads far too fast and drops like a rock, velocity is also rather slow), which is odd considering that their other guns do match real life ballistics very well. The zero on the double barrel also is incorrect, after 25m the slug drops below the top of the bead, at 50m, the slug is roughly in line with the rail instead of the bead, at 100m aiming at the head is a thigh shot, but hard to hit since you can't see your target anymore.
The Promet SG is even worse. the slug misses completely most of the time (like to go left/right by ~15 degrees, yet the type 115 underbarrel doesn't?) and the buckshot shoots kinda high from the point of aim. For all the weight an underbarrel SG would add the rifle has a lot of recoil too, same with the type 115 and its underbarrel)
They also can't reload individual rounds (double barrel for example) and have to treat them as mags.
Is this a baked in engine issue or do they not know how to code it in from lack of experience? Not trying to be antagonistic, simply trying to understand why shotguns aren't given the same treatment as rifles. Is it the same reason there are no shotguns in Reforger? Breachers normally use shotguns as they are great for the CQC urban environments which Reforger has plenty of with all of the towns.

[molten rampart]

I didnt read that entire message (sorry) but I think its because shotguns are kinda poop to design for-fun

[terse cloak]

probably cuz russians didnt use shotguns during that time

[deep galleon]

I can understand mechanically that they'd be harder to program (single loading rounds instead of mags, pump action animations. We don't even have bolt actions, everything is semi auto or full auto, not sure if that's engine issue or just not wanting to make animations for racking bolts).

[molten rampart]

I mean the game engine is 1000% capable of doing any type of weapon action and shotguns

[deep galleon]

yet we never see them. even the .408 CT rifle is bolt action yet functions like a semi auto. No animation for the bolt to cycle, it just moves itself.

[terse cloak]

well i dont think the us used shotguns either in the 80s, so why should they add shotguns in to the game?

[molten rampart]

dunno

is the FIA supposed to be a proper military or like a native militia sorta thing, would be fitting if they are a militia

[terse cloak]

i think they are the military of everon and arland, i mean they have vz 58s, ukl59 and svd so i dont think its a poorly equipped army

[molten rampart]

Right, fair enuf

[celest granite]

Would be nice to be able to find one here and there as well as a bolt action and revolver in farm houses

[deep galleon]

We had shotguns in Vietnam and we still have them today for door breaching. They wouldn't be standard issue, but still something that the military uses.

[molten rampart]

I dont know very much military history but almost certainly all of the weapons discussed just now have been used in conflicts

[terse cloak]

i think giving a quirky gun just for one side is kinda unfair.

[molten rampart]

bolt action rifles obviously. Revolvers maybe, that one i dont know. Shotguns of course as well

[terse cloak]

best to leave it for arma 4

[drowsy geode]

agreed, couple civilian fire arms with be fun, old ww2 stuff and whatnot, will probly happen for Dayz 2

[deep galleon]

Russians used the KS-23 in the 80's. been in service since the 70's. Even uses a rifles barrel so it considered a carbine (though its functionally a shotgun, just weird Russian classification for guns)

[molten rampart]

A problem with shotguns, especially in arma though, is how do you balance it.
The only reasonable solution is that shotguns suck extremely bad compared to rifles. Except for maybe a (full?) semi-auto shotgun

A double barrel, even a pump action, are meme weapons in comparison

[terse cloak]

for soviet police

[lucid tulip]

Of course. A meme weapon. Even soft armor like pasgt vest would catch buckshot pellets, since it's capable of stopping 9mm

[terse cloak]

and also i havent seen pictures of sovbiets in afghanistan or americans in panama with shotguns

maybe someone can correct me on this tho

[molten rampart]

When was that like the late 80s?

[terse cloak]

invasion of panama and soviet afghan war, invasion of panama was in 89 and afghan war was the whole 80s

[deep galleon]

Rifles and SGs have very different purposes and ranges.
IZH-80 was a short lived, but used combat shotgun in the late 80's.

[molten rampart]

I just mean as a game, how do you make shotguns more effective than rifles in close quarters?

[lucid tulip]

A bolt action rifle isn't a meme weapon because your probably firing a large cartridge like 7,62x51 or 7.62x54. With an high enough magnified optic a bolt action hunting rifle basically becomes a sniper weapon. Eg The us m24 was based off the m700 hunting rifle after all.

[deep galleon]

limbs and head are unarmored. and slugs exist. People forget how dangerous shotguns are. at 40m most shotguns with buckshot can keep the spread on a man sized chest. They have more range that most games give them credit for.

[molten rampart]

Rifles are amazing all around so when you add a shotgun, what does it do differently

[terse cloak]

i have checked a few combat videos and i dont really find any shotguns, even in reforger ones(irl), only rifles and mgs.

[molten rampart]

I dont think anyone here is opposed to bolt actions, they have uses in probably ever military conflict since their invention

and in terms of game mechanics, it can have larger calibers, higher velocity, higher range, etc

[terse cloak]

the stuff in the game are good and best to just wait for a4 to bring all kinds of guns.

[lucid tulip]

Issue is even within a shotguns effective range is that someone can just shoot you center of mass semi auto with a m16 and ak74 using a a 30 round magazine and armor wont stop the round without having try to aim for smaller non armored spots, but in turn you trying to pump action someone in a non critical area like legs because thier armor saves them . Your just at a disadvantage. Plus sights on shotguns generally suck.

[terse cloak]

range is a big issue if you are fighting around farmland, its just fields of wheat or grass, now imagine trying to fight there with a gun that hits max 100m.

think that the scenario of nato vs warsaw was between the germanies

[molten rampart]

in my opinion a shotgun would really only be appropriate in this game as a civilian weapon, and the game would have to acknowledge that it would be much less effective than other alternatives

[deep galleon]

In games it seems memey, but your forget that a person's arms block the chest, so a shotgun is going to break arms. Arma takes limb injuries into account and now adds bleeding with Reforger. Rifles all around are better, yes. But shotguns do have a place in close quarters.

[terse cloak]

and close quarters is less than 5% of the battle. it can be more depending but for me 5%

[molten rampart]

really depends on the game mode ur playing

[lucid tulip]

So you do damage to s person meanwhile you get outright plugged by the guy shooting service rifle.

[deep galleon]

And we can carry two longarms and a pistol.

[terse cloak]

imagine you send a round in a guy, desync comes and round doesnt register, before you get another shot u are dead

[deep galleon]

Again, slugs exist. And if you have buckshot and fire first, disable their arms, their aim is basically gone. plenty of time to fire a second shot or move to cover. I'm not saying shotguns would be top tier or meta, but they should be an option. Even if it is to meme on people.

[molten rampart]

Well thats a whole different problem

[terse cloak]

thats not how this game works tho

[molten rampart]

Unless shotguns could knock people unconscious from an armored chest shot i guess?

[terse cloak]

Just wait for a modder to add a shotgun

[molten rampart]

minimal direct damage, but downs them so you can just execute them idk

[deep galleon]

It is though. have you never had an arm injury in this game? your aim goes to shit as does your recoil control.

[molten rampart]

Yeah, seems like a fine thing to just wait for mods

[terse cloak]

Yeah, and i can still kill a guy infront of me, especially in shotgun distances

[terse cloak]

If not in the roadmap, then it probably wont be coming

[molten rampart]

mods rnt the roadmap

[terse cloak]

No i mean the shotgun

[molten rampart]

Thats what im talking about

[lucid tulip]

So you are then trying to use crappy sights on a shotgun to precision aim because it's no longer buckshot. Slugs might pen better , and have more effe tive at range tyen buckshot but it's still inferior at range to a rifle round. While slug will do better against soft armor I unlikely to pen 6b3 plate inserts.

[deep galleon]

Modded shotguns in A3 were pretty bad too. suffered the same issues. Main thing was that tube fed shotguns couldn't reload individual rounds because the engine only recognizes magazines. We also don't see any top fed rifles in Arma games that let you reload rounds without reloading the whole thing. Might be an engine thing?

[terse cloak]

I meant that it would be unlickely that bi would add a thing thats not in the roadmap.

[molten rampart]

From my (limited!) reforger mod experience, I believe it's possible to have much more granular control over things like that

Arma 3 I have no idea, i looked at modding one time and it looked horrible so i never touched it lol

[terse cloak]

In arma 3 only animation you could do is no round in gun and it loads a new mag and racks the bolt, but for reforger it doesnt rack the bolt and you can have an extra round, so probably some how you could get a single round load feature but best to wait for a4 for bi to add one, if they decide to even add one

[molten rampart]

But that makes me bring back the point. There is damn near no use case that a pump shotgun is gonna be better than an automatic rifle

Which is fine! it can just be worse, there are plenty of game scenarios that are "unbalanced" as a feature

[lucid tulip]

I mean sure a3 had civilian weapons including shotguns as I'm sure a4 will have.. but for obvious reasons I don't see them getting much use in contemporary combat scenarios.

[molten rampart]

Yep

[deep galleon]

Wouldn't the tech demo game be the best place to build one? A4 is still many years out.

[molten rampart]

I just think about garbage like arma life servers. obviously we hate those folks (/s)! But they would probably appreciate having a first party high quality shotgun implementation. Or countless different scenarios out there. It'd be good for the game

[deep galleon]

Kind of my point. If BI can put a properly functioning shotgun tube fed in, modders can do the rest with reskins and such. The main things I want addressed with a first party shotgun is proper ballistics and reloading to not be mag based.

[terse cloak]

Well we cant have everything and cant expect everything

[molten rampart]

I kinda changed my mind. I definitely agree. I think reforger should have first party implementations of all common types of weapons implemented to their internal standards for the sake of modders to be able to make higher quality content.

[deep galleon]

Modders can only do as much as the engine allows. If we can't single load rounds then that also prevents things like WW2 mods with top fed rifles from being reloaded with only 1 or 2 rounds. Its dumb seeing your character fire 3 rounds from a 7 rounds tube and then shove 7 rounds in (the 4 in there just disappear) when you reload. baking that function into the game would impact more than just 1 weapon type.

[molten rampart]

Yeah. Im not certain but im pretty sure the game as-is could support it if someone spent the effort

[deep galleon]

If the Battlefield series with its large maps can have shotguns so can Arma. Yes its arcadey and doesn't take body armor into account, but it has even worse ballistics for shotguns and they still work. No reason a milsim can't do the same.

[molten rampart]

I think the correct answer is just to implement shotguns in a mostly realistic fashion, they will suck balls against armor, they will suck at fire rate unless automatic, but theyll definitely put down unarmored targets, and thats all fine, it'll still have uses in certain game modes or scenarios

What does salvo mean

if salvo size means projectiles fired per trigger pull, I think the game is already set up for shotguns

BaseWeaponComponent is actually based on magazines. But I think you'd be able to code it like an "internal magazine" (tube) and your reload anims just adjust how many are in there. I think it'd work

[deep galleon]

Unsure what it means for ingame modding. calling it salvo size doesn't make sense. projectile quantity makes more sense. A Salvo is multiple guns firing at once, so maybe its for vehicles? Like an AA truck with multiple barrel AA guns?

[deep galleon]

But would it do the same as A3 and just magic away the rounds in the internal mag?

[molten rampart]

Not sure I don't know enough about the system

Leaving that convo there bc idk shit about what I'm talking about now

[jade dune]

Having an issue joining a private server with password but it wont even let me click join server example

I type in the right password

then I click join and this happened

[slate crown]

hello everyone we are starting on the configuration of our arma reforger server and we would need help for a setting or a mod to remove the squad markers on the map which removes a certain interest from the topography thank you in advance

[foggy steppe]

Tomorrow stable update?

[quaint cargo]

My brother in Christ, let’s not act like one side got a BTR, well the other got the United States Army equivalent of a matchbox car
😭

[quaint cargo]

No

[terse cloak]

i mean when the lav comes it prolly will be russians crying

[quaint cargo]

When I get my automatic M4, it’s officially GG’s

[manic hazel]

Is there a way to make people's voices louder in-game? I'm having a lot of trouble hearing people talk.

[quaint cargo]

Lower other audios

[snow fossil]

Bros my friends are playing Insurgency Sandstorm and are intrigued by my talking of Arma series and Reforger. How should I present them Reforger so we can enjoy it together? Or should I go to Insurgency instead?

[foggy ridge]

idk what answer to give you but I miss jagged alliance 2

[snow fossil]

Its a great game. Love guerilla tactics and I RP'd it in Arma 3

[foggy ridge]

Overthrow game mode might be something up your alley then (modded game mode)

[crimson hare]

When will mismatch be fixed for modded servers? NONE of them work!! This has been going on for MONTHS!

[austere nimbus]

Whenever mod developers and server admins keeping their mods up-to-date

[bold aurora]

Is there any way to change your name in reforger? I found this file Documents\My Games\ArmaReforger\profile\ArmaReforgerOnline.bin and I wonder what would happen if I fill the "user":"" argument with a cutom name, would that work/be enough?

[terse cloak]

change your steam name?

[chilly briar]

Will AI be able to fly helicopters?

I hope AI commanding/driving is coming soon

[tepid torrent]

I doubt they will be able to fly, but maybe there is a chance, just dont expect it

[austere nimbus]

Flying shouldn't be an issue, taking off and landing without destroying the heli and killing everything inside it is another thing.
Just like my fly skills... 🫣

[slate crown]

hello everyone we are starting on the configuration of our arma reforger server and we would need help for a setting or a mod to remove the squad markers on the map which removes a certain interest from the topography thank you in advance

[bold aurora]

That's exactly what I'm trying to avoid, arma 3 makes it easy and I'm wondering if there is a way in reforger

[celest granite]

I don’t see many btr’s prolly due to no 3rd person cross hairs

[quaint cargo]

Eh, prob just hard to get to said rank, man the turrent & driver, and use it effectively in small server sizes for vanilla. Where as modded servers have far “better” vehicles

[celest granite]

I steer away from mods especially thoses that add vehicles

[terse cloak]

because people dont have patience and die almost immediatly with it

in infantry you can just go around tp anywhere but with btr you have to physically get to places and its slow as fuck. But i mean i love playing with it, just would be much greater if there was periscopes

[digital crane]

they used to be able to fly, just not very well and need some help with gm.

[slate crown]

Please don't crosspost your message on multiple channels.

[slate crown]

Ok sorry

[fathom furnace]

hey, does anyone happen to know why my mods for reforger are going to my C drive instead of my E drive with all my games on it? Is there a way to fix that in anyway, because I'm lost and its just eating my storage.

[slow pagoda]

that is how the default folders for reforger are set up

there should be a setting somewhere where you can change that but cant remember exactly where it was off the top of my head

[fathom furnace]

like on steam or in the game?

[topaz whale]

I think its addonDownloadDir here: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Startup_Parameters

[fathom furnace]

not trying to sound like a dummy here but how do you do that stuff?

[topaz whale]

In Steam go to Arma Reforger, right-click it, go to Properties, and put it in the Launch options I think

note that I haven't actually done this before

[fathom furnace]

i just it and it didnt work .

[topaz whale]

Try doing a search on here for that command then

[hallow slate]

In arma reforger I don't know how to load mp scenario in my private server. What should I do?

I want to load the conflict scenario of tw-easternfront.

[wary badge]

I know I'm being a big dummy, but how do I go about adding my discord to the communities_arma channel? Do I just add arma bot to my server or is it something I have to request through the amdins?

[wary badge]

I think you have to put the scenario link/name from the arma workshop into your JSON file where it says scenario, I haven't done it for a while so I can't quite remember. There is a wiki explaining it, I'll see if I can find it and I'll DM you the link mate

[hallow slate]

The scenario ID is missing from that JSON file. However, the darkgru server uses the add-on to create a conflict scenario, so I was curious how I could use it.

[magic pebble]

You need the promoter role miky

[wary badge]

Ah ok, thanks rusty you gorgeous human, miss you mate

[wary badge]

Ah ok, in that case I have no clue 😅

[hallow slate]

😭 but thank you for trying to answer.

[wary badge]

No worries! Always happy to help if I can

[brittle agate]

Type /community in channel and send. Says in pinned messages there

[wary badge]

Yea I just pasted my thing in and bot just told me, thanks as well though dude! Appreciate it 🙂🍻

[half birch]

Anyone know how to fix the internal error problem when joining community servers?

[foggy ridge]

Patience until devs fix

[ancient rapids]

Oh no! Don't tell me it's down for the weekend! 👀

[true cape]

Are mods required to play a more modern conflicts rather than the Cold War ones?

[austere nimbus]

no one is required to play anything

[plucky pebble]

I have a question. I’m fairly new to this server and I’m thinking about advertising a group that I am making for Arma. How and where do I advertise my server?

[austere nimbus]

#community_units is the place to be, check the channel description on how to promote your group

[plucky pebble]

Ok thanks

[true cape]

In order to play a modern conflict are mods necessary?

[austere nimbus]

Well yes, because Reforger only has cold war assets available.
So anything that isn't in the vanilla game (like more modern stuff) will require mods to add it instead

Which is the power of Arma; if it doesn't exist, there's probably a mod for it. If not; you can make one yourself 🙂

[true cape]

Are these mods easily accessible through the workshop or where are they typically downloaded from?

Sorry if these questions are a little repetitive or agitating, I just want to confirm any uncertainties I have prior to purchasing.

[dry bronze]

They are all contained within an in-game mod workshop

[true cape]

Thank you

[stable topaz]

The game automatically downloads whatever mods are required for each server. But you can also download them independently.

[true cape]

Awesome, thank you.

[hallow slate]

Does anyone use the arma reforger dedicated server tool? I can't edit the JSON file. Is there a way to use the previous version of the add-on?

[slow pagoda]

addons typically are best used at their latets version

[hallow slate]

I know. But what I want to do is run conflict scenarios in modes like eastern european conflict, but this is only possible in older versions. That's why I'm looking for it.

[ancient rapids]

just specify the version number in the json (read the wiki)

[hallow slate]

but when i boot on my server with arma reforger dedicated server tool by sodaX, i cannot edit json file

[past kayak]

Any inkling of when the Air update is coming -I mean quarter-wise?

[terse cloak]

i mean helicopters are here

[past kayak]

Oh well I was asking not for the Air assets themselves but last i heard thats when AI commanding would drop?

[terse cloak]

well we never know what next updates have, mostly just know what we wont get

[ancient rapids]

RIP. Sounds like you can't use that tool then if you want to edit your json. Idk I've never used that tool.

[mighty horizon]

can anyone help with some modded stuff on reforger

[slow pagoda]

youll have to also add the explanation of your problem

otherwise nobody can know if they can assist

[fallow whale]

Hey I have a question

[slow pagoda]

best to just ask the actual question

[fallow whale]

Ik I just don’t want to be rude abt it

Do anyone knows how to make scope mods for arma reforger

[slow pagoda]

its how the channels here work. no worries

[fallow whale]

Ik ik

[slow pagoda]

some do im sure. we have various _makers channesl where you can ask about specific modding related topics

[fallow whale]

Ok

[slow pagoda]

so what is the actual question you have

[fallow whale]

The question I have is who can make optic mods and bring them in the game of reforger

[slow pagoda]

for such things we have #creators_recruiting channel. do note that it cant be paid work

[fallow whale]

It’s already paid just need someone to add it to the game

[slow pagoda]

yeah the adding to game part just cant be paid

[fallow whale]

Igh nvm then

[slow pagoda]

?

[mighty horizon]

anyone know the discord for the darkgru servers

tried to look it up its not there

[fallow whale]

Go to community n search for it I believe

[mighty horizon]

anyone kno why i cant download m4 block, laser attachment or suppressor mods? and i did on the discord and it didnt show up

[tardy rune]

how can i make the reconnect load timer longer. like the period of time where you can reconnect and everythings saved, i think its usually 1 minutes but i want it to last say, 3 minutes

[ancient rapids]

Something like a reconnect component in the scenario, I don't remember exactly where. I'd look under game mode components.

[violet lava]

Does anyone know how to fix this?

I’ve restarted my game 5 times and uninstalled all my mods and reinstalled them

[tardy rune]

ive found it in there, theres just no options to actually change the length unless im missing something. just enable/disable

[proud thistle]

Herroh, is there some way of looking at how others peoples mods do things ingame (for example like the config/script viewer in A3 or unpacking the mods files)?

^Not to take them for myself/reupload of course but to learn from

[foggy ridge]

you can open mods in workbench

[proud thistle]

Ah am stupy, I thought that was only in a restricted view where you could only see configs or stuff like that, but that was just because of the contents of the mod I was looking at

Thanku

[shut cosmos]

number value, range 5..300, default 60

[tardy rune]

thanks

[fluid arrow]

Hi do you have news about arma reforger in PlayStation ?

[slow pagoda]

no news

[ancient rapids]

In that case it may have been a script variable

Or where lain said, I just saw that lol

[snow fossil]

Whats now at the experimental? Meaning - what can we expect on stable when the update comes?

[ancient rapids]

check the exp patch notes (lots of bug fixes)

[pearl pawn]

My LAW (M72) sight is completely out of focus ... Any ideas how to fix this?

[snow fossil]

Oof

[cerulean token]

Maybe turn off the field of depth in the settings ?

[tepid torrent]

turing off DOF is the only way to fix it

i think they did adjustments to it in experimental though

[pearl pawn]

Re DOF; will try that, thanks

[sand verge]

Does anyone know how to fix the issue with mics not always working?

[shut mesa]

Does anyone know if this game is coming to ps5?

[languid lodge]

@shut mesa it is planned but when 🤷‍♂️ #reforger_questions message

[rugged mist]

what is the difference between the "Normal" and "Deluxe" Reforger Game?

[terse cloak]

deluxe gives soundtrack and both maps and some wallpapers

[rugged mist]

Is it necesery when i want to play Milsim

[terse cloak]

no

[rugged mist]

Or is it Recommendet

[terse cloak]

no. Milsim is a category, so if a community is milsim then it depends on them what you need for example if you need mods or not, but deluxe edition doesnt change or add anything in the game

[rugged mist]

Ok, thx, and i know whats Milsim is because i do it in Arma3 so i only wanted to know if it changes anything

[quasi marten]

Anyone having issues where AI teleport through doors? What in tarnation causes this? It's frustrating when they teleport through a door and get the jump on players

[austere nimbus]

Doors are technically just openings with a path for AI to walk on, and since the AI in AR is still very basic I guess the doors are still a work in progress (aka AI doesn't see/use them).

It's a common problem with other Arma titles, especially with modded buildings. And even other games have this issue, so not Arma specific.

[foggy ridge]

most of the time I see AI using doors correctly, also reacting to me opening doors

[past kayak]

Thats good to hear -do they have a "Reach and Open" animation alongside it?

[foggy ridge]

No the doors open themselves in front of the character. AI has same animation set as players.

[past kayak]

Thats a shame - i dont know what animations player has as havent had it installed for long time -i just check in on the updates to see wheres it at waiting for AI update to drop. I disagree with their fundamental thinking that AI can only have same animations as player -it looks so robotic to just have a unit already at the ready when a door is magically flung open. Thats why I respect the AI devs for Ready or Not so much -they spent a sh*tload of time on micro transitional animations

[cunning flume]

How does someone give game master to another player?

Considering I'm logged in as admin and I have game master as well

[foggy ridge]

I think with how many features of AI are still missing, animations are probably the least of our worries

[past kayak]

Well again I dont know -i only go by what i see and read here to get a general sense of direction. If this is the testbed to Arma 4 -then whats being focused on should give us a general sense of its trajectory. Hell I been checking Star Citizens AI update logs for longer than my daughters been alive and shes in the 4th grade. It at least lets me see in great detail where their focus is -here, i dont see much of anything

Also animations are not necessarily developed congruently with AI

[foggy ridge]

You're right about that. I'm salty the game is out for almost 2 years and the AI doesn't know how to drive to a waypoint

[snow fossil]

Where can I find Reforger group that does what I would like to do as well?

[slow pagoda]

you can try the community channels

!lfg

[steep stump]

Are you looking to play with people?
pick one channel:
#looking_for_game to tell others you want to play
#looking_for_unit to tell others you are looking for a group
#communities_arma3 to browse through advertised groups

Note: Please follow the templates in those channels (if applicable), and don't use them for discussions.

[snow fossil]

Thats weird. I know Reforger is not considered main game in the series but... what do devs actually do? Work on Arma 4?

[topaz whale]

Fixes bugs and add new features. Those things take time.

[snow fossil]

Ok. Hopefully it all comes together. Reforger is great just kinda thin atm. And UI is messy.

[woven gazelle]

Guys, how do i replenish spawn count on deployed radio?

got car parked next to radio; have supplies in it

[azure flume]

That be?

[azure flume]

No idea if this is possible but my best bet is to pack it up and drag supplies over from the HMVEE ti the Radio. But again, I doubt its a feature but im not sure

[stray blade]

You cant, 1 time use only

[quasi marten]

I know they're basic, but they have ALWAYS opened doors in reforger from my experience. So for them to randomly regress is weird to me. The only time they would "teleport" was when I was in GM and players weren't around. I figured it was an optimization thing. However, they've started using doors less and less, as if players are GMs or something and they don't care to use doors.

I actually wanna say, it's the players who login as admins who have AI teleport on them. I'll have to give this a try but it seems like things are normal until I login as admin

[sand verge]

when hosting a server, what exactly is Network view distance?

[cerulean token]

Beyond that distance players will not see or hear other players, vehicles etc. A lower value can result in better server performance, but if it is below the maximum draw distance you may notice things popping in in the distance

[sand verge]

so what is the ideal setting?

[foggy ridge]

dynamic entities are streamed/loaded to your game when you are within this range of said entity

this includes items, players, vehicles, objects spawned by the game master and so on

[sand verge]

should it be set to the same as maximum draw distance? or maybe a bit more?

and what do you think is the ideal/realistic draw distance

[foggy ridge]

you could just use default values

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Server_Config#gameProperties_2

[sand verge]

but default is like 1600 and 250 on network

[foggy ridge]

if you dont want to use default values then use the values you want to use

its your server

[sand verge]

great answer

[foggy ridge]

default values were chosen by the developers, you can change them if you want, your choice

[sand verge]

oh well thanks man

[long hound]

luv you ♥️

[quaint cargo]

So Xbox can render people from these distances?

[foggy ridge]

no, server max view distance controls the maximum view distance you can have setup in your game

if there is no slider for view distance in the game on xbox then you can't do anything

[quaint cargo]

Thank you for the reply

[fallow quarry]

Can you control the A.I now and order it around?!

[terse cloak]

not as a soldier

[drowsy geode]

• Fixed: Items and Vehicles are now correctly cleaned up

Does that mean that Arkensor Disablevehiclegarbage mod has been implemented? Only destroyed vehicles gets deleted in conflict mode??? I don't see his mod anymore in the workshop.

[magic pebble]

No, the mod no longer work, and they reverted to the old system while they finish testing a new system that they want to add.

[drowsy geode]

Can only use flashlight in hand while wearing the 6b3 vest is this a new bug? Before patch you could put the flashlight in your jacket inventory to attach it to your body.

[stray blade]

Ive noticed that too with 6b3, but before the patch. If u dont have webbing you cant attach flashlight

[muted axle]

Anyone know why I can’t make myself game master in a private game I go to start the vote n nothing (haven’t played this since early last year only just started again)

[true flume]

So, I'm running a nitrado server, it told me the server was outdated and mismatched, so I restarted them hoping for them to update and it completely broke them, they won't restart or go online at all just go in a loop of constant restarts won't even force stop itself? What am I doing wrong

[flat atlas]

Anyone know why people are crashing in Kunar I been placing down Soviet faction and getting system failure after placing them down

[gleaming holly]

Fwiw, nitrado is absolutely awful to host with and you will likely continue to encounter problems like this one, i did when i used them. That being said your best bet is to save your config file, do a full reinstall of the server, then re-add your config file and restart the server in order to add all your mods/etc. Every time Reforger updated when i used nitrado i had to do a full server wipe in order to update

[true flume]

We already tried that, still nothing, what's the best to host from?

[gleaming holly]

I cant speak to "the best", but i currently use GTX Gaming and its night and day difference. You get better specs for the same price as the lowest nitrado tier and the interface for managing your server is way better. Plus you have filesystem access so mods like Server Admin Tools are actually usable. If a full wipe didnt fix it i have no idea, id say contact nitrado support but Reforger will have hit 2.0 by the time they get back to you

[stray blade]

I think you need to reinstall the server to update it on nitrado. Keep in mind that mods break on updates and you should first get unmodded server working, then add mods.

[gleaming holly]

We used to have to do reinstalls every time a large mod updated back when delta patching for servers was broken, which sucked because nitrado servers will force restart when they detect a mod update from BI backend

In the middle of a match and your server suddenly shits the bed and its 30 minutes before you can get it back online

[true flume]

That's our issue tbh, we get the vanilla working but then we add the JSON script back in and it breaks again.

[stray blade]

Json isnt a script.
That means one of the mods you are using is broken and preventing startup. Eliminate them until it starts

[true flume]

Normally on nitrado tho if it was a mod error it would tell you

But instead there is no alert or anything, the server says it has started stays like that for a while and then force restarts itself

[gleaming holly]

What does console.log say

[hollow oasis]

Anyone know how I can adjust the screen border for arma reforger on Xbox?

[half locust]

you cannot.

[foggy ridge]

try looking for overscan settings in your tv, seems like the only way

[snow fossil]

What do people enjoy the most regarding latest update? And least?

[terse cloak]

it makes your kits cost take supplies from a base, which makes epople theoretically carry lighter kits

[sand verge]

Anyone else get stuck at this screen when trying to fire up Everon - GameMaster
(have tons of mods)

[austere nimbus]

Try without mods and check If it also happens

[true flume]

We switched over to gxt gaming and have the error log, we can run vanilla perfectly fine, but the second we add ANY mod even if it's just one it doesn't come online

Do we need to enable mods somewhere or something?

[austere nimbus]

Is the config.json valid and are the mods (still) valid without any issues?

[gleaming holly]

No, you should just add them to your config file and theyll be downloaded to the server. Dependencies are also autoresolved but not dependencies of dependencies. Best practice is manually enter all mods your server will run. What does console.log say

[true flume]

I don't wanna paste the entire error cos it's huge, but all the mods are valid and still work, but we get an engine error and then it says that every single mod we add it can't read

Hang on I'll add a mod and screenshot the error

@gleaming holly it is just this repeatedly

But works completely fine without mods.

[gleaming holly]

Did localization change in the update? I know there was a point in the changelog regarding arsenal string localization.
All these errors are related to that. Can you try adding only RHS - Stats Quo and removing all other mods and starting it? My server starts with that mod (plus some others) so if yours doesnt the issue is perhaps somewhere else

[true flume]

Will do

@gleaming holly still errors

[gleaming holly]

The same ones? Or similar

[true flume]

Oh wait, it is loaded with RHS.

[gleaming holly]

It came online?

[true flume]

I'm loading in now to make sure it isn't fucked, we got a huge error list but the server is up and running

[gleaming holly]

Huge error list in console.log is actually fine as long as you never see "game destroyed" and the server shows up in the browser

[true flume]

But it won't come up when we add all of our mods

[stray blade]

Then mods are broken

[true flume]

We are currently adding the modded map we run to see if they will start with that, and probably just add one mod at a time just one by one

[stray blade]

If you narrow it down to which, contact mods creator to fix em.

[gleaming holly]

Gotcha, its definitely a mod youre running then. My guess is it isnt all the mods that throw errors that are actually causing problems, but rather 1 or more mods that affect something globally

[true flume]

Okay so, one mod will give you errors for all of them?

[stray blade]

If one mod fails to compile server wont start. That simple

[gleaming holly]

It can, if you have a mod that somehow changes localization and is broken, it can look like localization is broken for all mods

[austere nimbus]

one mod can break the whole server, but multiple mods can break the same thing (as can be seen in the error log), which can either be seperate issues (just the same) or one mod breaking all the other ones

[gleaming holly]

We've also had issues where a dependency is broken/missing and it'll throw an error about the gamemode

[true flume]

Gxt is so much nicer

[gleaming holly]

You can also view the full log (with the server shut down) in Profile/logs/log_[date]/[file].log

[true flume]

So, it failed when we added the custom map, we use an everon expansion and it ran it fine before, and then when we did a restart yesterday it just wouldn't come online, same again we just added it and it failed

[austere nimbus]

worked mod, working game
game updates
working game, broken mod

🤷‍♂️

[true flume]

Yeah, guess it's the mod lol

Thank you for your help lads.

[cold oxide]

Who do I contact for a Mod on the Workshop with malicious behavior in the workbench, not being able to initialize the World Editor etc?

[stray blade]

Think MarioE, not sure tho

[cold oxide]

I have contacted him last week for something else regarding stolen content. seems like hes busy.

and I really dont intent to bother him even more.

[stray blade]

As u wish

[slow pagoda]

Just drop him a message about it. And you can flag the mod in the workshop (in game)

[quaint cargo]

We run a 24/7 campaign in our unit but on server resets each platoon has to rebuild our COP’s. Is there a way to save the world after they are built so that at reset it loads up the world w them already placed down?

[stray blade]

servers do save GM scenarios, at least default ones

question is, can you load them, for that you need access to servers launch parameters

[quaint cargo]

So we have to save it as a scenario? And then what

[stray blade]

you dont save

[quaint cargo]

Say I could direct the way to do it, to someone that does. Can u tell me what I need to tell them to do?

[quaint cargo]

Oh😔

[stray blade]

it autosaves every ~5 to 10 minutes.
You have to load it with following parameter: -loadSessionSave to use latest save, or -loadSessionSave saveName without .json extension to load a specific one

[quaint cargo]

Please @ me if you remember

[stray blade]

come back from playing for a bit then boom shit ping and a grey thing over my name

@rapid isle you getting this to?

[rapid isle]

i eneded up reseting network stuff

[light compass]

@rapid isle did that to didn't work

it worked but its high ping

proily just connection issues tbf i was running smooth then it went downhill

[sand verge]

Is it possible to use the Arma-visions filter while playing the sim?

[terse cloak]

Bi, do you guys plan to at some point polish up the weapons and vehicles on the later stages of the game? For example how the uaz 469 has really low quality bottom area but buhanka has high quality

[tepid torrent]

this has came up a few times, will probably happen right at end of development most likely

[grim otter]

Hey so what's with the AI and turning super slow on Turrets?

[terse cloak]

prolly cuz they aint designed for it

[grim otter]

It's any vehicle with a turret

Even the BTR and Humvee. I think they bugged out when helicopters were added.

[terse cloak]

Yeah cuz i dont think ai knows how to use em

[cerulean token]

The one I tried it on didn't even do anything, he just sat there till the enemy finally hit their 10m shot after an entire mag

[grim otter]

I see them move like a sloth.

[alpine raft]

Having an issue where my inventory and arsenal boxes are blank in my server and I can’t even equip the weapon that’s on my character. Anyone know a fix?

[digital crane]

might have to delete and reinstall some mods, i saw someone on here having the same problem with the RHS arsenal and reinstalling fixed it.

[alpine raft]

Yep that seemed to fix it!

[tame fjord]

Controller (not gamepad) support still missing or is it in?

[chilly briar]

Will AI commanding come with the AI driving update?

It seems like AI commanding should come first since it's a lot easier to implement

[past hamlet]

why is nothing placing in GM and when i am able to place then the people are invisible?

[foggy ridge]

unpause the game at the top bar maybe

[sand verge]

Any chance we could split out #enfusion_scenario into 2 channels?

Campaign GameMode and ScenarioFramework GameMode. They are 2 distinct game modes, each with their own setups, methods and troubleshooting.

[thorn furnace]

What about every other mission? Missions are diverse, from racing to dayz style; many don't fit in either box.

[prime wigeon]

Are we ever getting the vanilla team kill kick thing back? I know it was a mere coincidence that it was “bugged” after BI released landmines that would have you accidentally team kill. But this has been broken since land mine update.

How do I change the time acceleration

[tepid torrent]

my advice, dont get shot, it is bad for your health!

[topaz whale]

In what context? As a player? As a game master? As a mission maker?

[true flume]

Anyone know why I can't access admin stuff on my mates server, I type the code get gamemaster but only he gets the admin section, do we need to change something in the code?

[sullen path]

Ivan Buchta mentioned soviet camo uniforms coming in the near future in the altest devblog. Do we know what kind of camo we can expect? Will it be same as the pilot's uniform or something else?

[trail cloak]

i'd say it'd be KLMK suits or TTsKO

[sullen path]

Yeah Im hoping KLMK for that sweet OFP vibe, but wouldnt that require a new uniform model to be accurate

[trail cloak]

yeah, but for BI i feel they could do one uniform extra, though i wouldnt mind ttsko Obr88's seeing the setting is 1989

[sullen path]

Yeah, there's still civi clothing and the (presumably) vehicle crew uniform models to come

[past hamlet]

just realized bacon is the mod guy

[steel yew]

Anyone know how to get the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle mod to work? I’ve tried the last two versions of the mod long side SpaceCore mod and it still doesn’t show

[west jacinth]

As usual, I ask a serious question about a problematic issue and idiot like jumps out with this kind of "answer". I am out of this fucking place.

[atomic hawk]

So is there a way they can stop babies from throwing tantrums and trolling the team by deconstructing everything? Kicking doesn't really work if they have alt accounts so I'm curious if it's possible for them to implement anything

[tawny sapphire]

That's what headshots do man.

[foggy ridge]

5.56 to the head means unconscious now instead of death, with vanilla helmets

[tepid torrent]

if you look around at early enfusion images you can see the soldiers wearing what looks like KMLK

[tepid torrent]

the ballistic protection takes bullet velocity into account doesnt it?

[foggy ridge]

I think so but the effect is pretty much the same regardless of distance

[tepid torrent]

ahh i see, i think that a PASGT stopping a 5.56 is a bit unrealistic though

[sullen path]

Really? Got a pic? I think I might have missed the leaks or something. Saw someone post a way different looking woodland camo the other day as well

[tepid torrent]

i will look around for you

[tepid torrent]

i have not seen new woodland though, so we can do leak swap 😆

[sullen path]

#1050079312977596426 message

[tepid torrent]

ah yes i have seen that, it was most likely an early test though. i would like to see some more woodland camo variants though

[sullen path]

It looks cool, but I can't really give it a fair judgement because of the quality of the screen. Looks like it has some kind of blue haze on top of it

[topaz nexus]

So with development of AI taking cover, will we be able to put AI squads in buildings to have them defend them?

[hazy bluff]

Sounds like it

[prime wigeon]

So when are we planning on fixing the whole garbage manager script and the team kill script?

[lament edge]

No, commanding of AI will be a seperate feature. But, when you will be able to command your AI, yes, you will be able to ask them to defend a position

[topaz nexus]

I meant put as in from GM end my bad

[lament edge]

I'm not sure, if AI is taking cover only during combat, or also when defending a position. But I guess you will be able to try it out on the next experimental 😄

[topaz nexus]

True

[tepid torrent]

next experimental confirmed then

ai coming, and boy will it be fun, the videos of them taking cover, holding a position, and utilizing smoke screens make me confident that this update will make the game play in an entirely different way 👍

[vivid mantle]

Garrison feature like in arma 3 would be nice for game master scenarios.

[terse cloak]

Just realised

[tepid torrent]

i havent ever used this, i have heard of this though, isnt it like virtually storing units in building?

[vivid mantle]

Its just placing units in predefined defensive positions inside the buldings like windows etc.

[slow pagoda]

Reforger does not have such positions marked on the buildings does it?

I wonder if they can make the ai find the windows and other such positions on their own

[vivid mantle]

Did you read the devblog?

[slow pagoda]

had not but there it is. 👍

[drowsy geode]

Does anybody know what's the purpose of these buildings? There's only a couple around Everon and one on Arland.

[supple wigeon]

Looks like a water pump station or something like that

Omg grass inside building!!1

Don’t get me started on the horrible bathroom design in this game

[topaz whale]

Not sure on that one but maybe ask in #enfusion_scenario

I have a general question, where can I download the EnfusionEngine and create my own game with it? (with my team)

[topaz whale]

Check the responses to this: #enfusion_generic message

[swift basalt]

Anyone know if they plan on fixing track IR, or adding hotas support? At the moment it really hurts going from arma 3 with full hotas, analog collective, and track ir to reforger where I can't even invert my mouse specifically for helicopter flight.

[thorn furnace]

iirc both have been casually mentioned as planned by developers, but with no timeframe.

[slow pagoda]

No cross posting as per #rules

[burnt temple]

Bro the quest was 1st for reforger and 2nd for Arma 3

there is no crossposting this is the rules to type it in the right chat

[slow pagoda]

I'll answer your question where we are already talking about it

[burnt temple]

For Arma 3

[slow pagoda]

For starters

[burnt temple]

but Arma Reforger dosent have .cpp

[slow pagoda]

After that I can answer for reforger

So send answers to my questions when you get back home.

[burnt temple]

I ONLY asked about the file type of the cards/mapp. Not more.

[slow pagoda]

Continue at #arma3_questions when you have the information I asked for.

[burnt temple]

I don't understand your answer. The Arma 3 file type (for mapps like .altis or .tanoa) is .cpp | That answers my question.

[sharp estuary]

Any idea when it’s coming to PlayStation? Have a couple of buddies that I can’t play with and it sucks lmao

[austere nimbus]

When either BI is done making it work or when Sony has approved it 🤷
Which is between now and never

[sour surge]

What's annoying is seeing people getting so worked up over the smallest things. Did you really have to go on a semi-rant, questioning the developer's intentions, becuase you couldn't use your fancy dancy plastic head-spinny-tracker-3000...

[old adder]

I don't get why people are so worked on about HOTAS support as Arma (and especially Reforger) are not flight simulators

[foggy ridge]

not many other games give you the ability to pilot an xwing over mars shooting down cylons

[old adder]

Reforger does that ? Sounds cool

[foggy ridge]

not yet, but the previous arma games do

[old adder]

🔜

Arma 3 kinda does have a respectable flight model, but I doubt there will be a similar one in Reforger

[foggy ridge]

hmm fair

[terse cloak]

Hotas is good to have but people need patience

[slow pagoda]

No it's no cpp

[slow pagoda]

Cpp is a part of the whole process, but it's a config file, that defines technical properties. Just tell me what I asked. It can't be that hard.

[slow pagoda]

@burnt temple wrong channel and nothing to do with what I asked.

Do you have other hardware attached? Like a gamepad or joystick?
They might have ghost input causing unwanted movements

[woven gazelle]

No, i think no;
Basically, what happened is that my heli started to tilt into direction i'm tilting against, also heli just then simply face the skies and i fell down; its the second time and im not sure what's causing it

[stable topaz]

Make a video of it

[amber sentinel]

Guys, are there vietnam war mods for arma reforger?

[digital crane]

yes

[amber sentinel]

nice

do you have it?

[digital crane]

when i’m playing on the vietnam servers, yes.

[amber sentinel]

Wdym, there are servers for the mods?

Also, do you can play singleplayer

[digital crane]

yes there are vietnam pvp servers and you could play by yourself with the vietnam mods, but there is no single player campaign if that’s what you’re wondering

[amber sentinel]

Nono, i mean if i can go and make like a mission

like in arma 2

[slow pagoda]

no

it does not work quite like that anymore

[amber sentinel]

How does it works like?

[slow pagoda]

there is no in game editor

missions are made through the modding tools

[amber sentinel]

oh

fr i really wanna buy arma reforger

i am trying to claim steam giftcards

in steam tappalm or smth like that

[sullen path]

If you’re basic af like me you can use the gamemaster as a really anemic 3D editor. You can place two groups of AIs opposite eachother and use waypoints to direct them

[amber sentinel]

mhm

[sullen path]

It’s how I’ve been playing the franchise for decades, but I fully understand others might need a more fulfilling experience

[amber sentinel]

Yk what lad, dont even expend your time on explaining to me

ill prob never get any arma game atleast from an original source like steam

[sullen path]

What you’re alluding to is… frowned upon. But OFP is free I’m pretty sure

[amber sentinel]

Whats OFP?

[sullen path]

The first game of the franchise. Rebranded now into something I cant remember.

[amber sentinel]

Where i can search it'

also what is franchise (id guess is a company like bohemia)

[sullen path]

The Arma series

[amber sentinel]

Can ya send link?

[sullen path]

Reforger is sort of (but not really at all) the spiritual successor of operation flashpoint

[amber sentinel]

oh

[slow pagoda]

[amber sentinel]

it cost 5k in my country:(

with that i could buy food for all my family

[slow pagoda]

life is sometimes unfair.

[amber sentinel]

totally agreed

but anyways, we have to accept it

[swift basalt]

Because Arma despite not being a flight sim, still has a pretty in depth flight model, where you fly over massive expanses of terrain and have a lot of people rely on you if you're flying. So being able to just outright have more control is always better, having analog foot pedals, eye tracking so you don't have to hold alt to look around while you are actively landing

is just outright better than flying with default inputs

going from playing games with eye tracking support, where you literally just move your head a bit and you look over, actually hurts to where you have to completely cut your control input to hold alt and move your mouse

[stable topaz]

Games like ooh, I dunno, Arma 3?

I would usually fly with mouse and keyboard but still find the lack of peripheral support disappointing.
I also think the idea of using mouse, keyboard, head tracker and rudder pedals is really cool.

[old adder]

Arma 3 has support for some controllers (the game is 10 years old, it can't support everything)
Reforger likely will never have such in depth fly model, so insulting people and their work because it does not support some stuff is even worse ...

[snow fossil]

Can you use mouse and keyboard on Xbox?

[sweet lagoon]

Yes

Long as you can plug that shit into your console it works

[snow fossil]

Great thanks

[sweet lagoon]

Np

[lime prism]

how easy is it to play a custom/private Zeus match with a few friends

[half locust]

there is no zeus in reforger

[lime prism]

sorry *game master

[tepid torrent]

It is very simple interface, and is quite fun

[lime prism]

Is it like arma 3 where I gotta do all that port forwarding and downloading lan stuff or judging by what u said is it basically like press host or play or whatever (over simplified but yk) ?

[tepid torrent]

Yes if you want to host then it needs to be port forwarded 👍

[lime prism]

okay thank you

[sturdy adder]

Do you know how to get the russian radio into the rhs taktika vest pouch on the back?

@half locust

[sturdy adder]

Nvm, I found a fix for now

[swift basalt]

Anyone know a way to only invert the mouse vertically when flying aircraft?

As opposed to blanket inverting the mouse for all inputs

[frosty vector]

Is the space core mod still needed on my server???

[slow pagoda]

if you use mods that need it then yes

[steel yew]

Does anyone know if there is a mod that can turn the Russian or FIA ai in conflict into another faction? I tried downloading modern ru with rhs but doesn’t seem it’s working

[slow pagoda]

did you check the workhop for laternate conflict versions with different factions in use?

[steel yew]

I didn’t see any other version. I have a conflict remix downloaded.

[atomic meteor]

Does anyone know if pvp is a priority for reforger and if the tools for modding is configured mainly for pvp? Or is that nonsense?

[slow pagoda]

pvp aspect is strong but AI is getting improvements too

[atomic meteor]

I heard the tools for modding is configured mostly for pvp, is that true?

[umbral harness]

no, its just more documentation towards the conflict gamemode, its all up to the hands of the modder what they want to make.

[atomic meteor]

Thank you

[slow pagoda]

PVE or singleplayer stuff may be more difficult to do

in sense that AI may not be able to do all stuff one might want it to do

[quaint copper]

The AI are braindead and have little to no depth, so making PvE gamemodes is indesirable for most people

Both to play and develop

[topaz nexus]

Well hopefully with coming changes this won't be the case

[topaz nexus]

Where is the capital of Everon?

I figured Sainte Philippe but there isn't much that looks very... huge government building-y

[quaint copper]

It's on Kolgujev is it not?

[topaz nexus]

It is?

[quaint copper]

Malden Archipelago?

[topaz nexus]

I though Kolgujev was abandoned and part of the USSR

[quaint copper]

Maybe
I know that out of the 5-6 islands in the Malden Archipelago Kolgujev is the biggest

Like twice the size of Everon, if not more

[tepid torrent]

Montignac

[quaint copper]

Googling it sheds no light on the subject
The two most populated cities are Montignac and Saint Phillippe so it's probably one of those two

[tepid torrent]

Kolgujev was ghost island that only had soviet military emplacements

[tepid torrent]

I think it is stated that Montignac is the capital in the OFP 1985 campaign

[topaz nexus]

Ohh ok

[tepid torrent]

Malden was always a NATO influenced island however

[supple wigeon]

According to the capture and hold scenario description it’s actually Sainte Philippe

[tepid torrent]

interesting, well that confirms it then

makes sense though, especially since it has such a big port and other important infrastructure

[topaz nexus]

Yeah

The real question now is where is the Everonian legislature?

[lost moon]

in the secret tunnels below levie

[lime prism]

is it possible to change players team in gm?

[topaz whale]

I don't think it's twice the size. The overall map is the same size. 12.8x12.8km and I don't think the landmass itself is significantly bigger

[quaint copper]

I could have sworn it was larger, like 20x20

[topaz whale]

No all the OFP terrains were 12.8x12.8km

[gleaming holly]

Anyone else having backend issues right now? My server threw "failed to download" errors twice befofe suddenly succeededing and server ping is all over the place for me. Mods also downloading very slowly

[soft tulip]

Hi guys!
I need help. I recently published a mod in a workshop.
The scenario is in Capture and Hold mode. Locally, everything works fine at startup. When running on the server, the player is connected, the selection menu works, the choice of the loadouts works. But when trying to spawn, the player is kick off the server.
Server logs time:
Virtual Machine Exception

Reason: Caught request on locked player!

Class: 'SCR_PlayerFactionAffiliationComponent'
Function: 'Rpc_RequestFaction_S'
Stack trace:

scripts/Game/GameMode/SCR_BaseGameMode.c:781 Function OnPlayerDisconnected

I would be very grateful if someone could explain what the problem is and how to fix it?

[plucky glen]

Ie: 33.0, 33.1, 33.2, 33.3, 33.4, 33.5, 33.6, 33.7, 33.8, 33.9, 34.0

With Reforgers Comms is it possible to mod this in? For each channel instead of only having 2 per number we had the full bank?

[vivid mantle]

Yes it is possible and quite easy in the workbench, but not realistic at all.

Depends on what radio model you are trying to change though

[plucky glen]

Not realistic?

lol we use the Motorola apx 6000xe at work and I can get that joker dialed and programmed more ways than I could even fathom

Pretty sure the Harris radios are relatively the same way

[vivid mantle]

That is why I mentioned that it depends on the radio model.

I actually tried changing that once and while it was pretty easy to change in the radio prefab I realized that you also have to change the UI to display more digits.

[plucky glen]

Yea is that hard to do?

[vivid mantle]

I have no experience with editing UI so cannot really comment on that

[plucky glen]

When in a rather large milsim unit having more of these sub channels would be really helpful

[vivid mantle]

It is on my todo-list to overhaul the vanilla radios to be more realistic.

[plucky glen]

I’ll provide you lunch if you put it closer to the top lol

[vivid mantle]

Oh believe me I really want to do it too for my own milsim unit but so far I have had more pressing issues to chase like no backblast etc.

But that example is easier said than done so I probably should take a break from it and look at the radios

[plucky glen]

I mean have they added back blast to Reforger?

[vivid mantle]

Nope

And they said that due to various reasons probably will not be adding it either

[plucky glen]

That’s what I had thought.

[quaint copper]

They won't add backblast because the AI won't move out of the way

[plucky glen]

Interesting

[vivid mantle]

Yep, but while I have no real deep understanding of Reforgers AI I cannnot stop thinking about the new danger behavior they added to AI regarding burning vehicles and how it could be used here...

[quaint copper]

Bring it up to Bohemia
I thought the exact same thing and it made no sense to me
Just tie a similar script to AT soldiers and have friendly AI avoid them like the plague

[void inlet]

Will they add tanks in the game?

[magic pebble]

no

[quartz lance]

I made this 14 year's ago in Arma 2.

[quaint copper]

Nice

[quartz lance]

It's just some distance and angle calculation using sin cos.
So i bet it "would" be possible.

[tepid torrent]

an even more simpler way could be implemented through voice commands, there could be a "clear backblast" and all the AI clear area or find nearest cover, it would be such a funny feature that i expect the devs to skip out on, but i would really love to see it

[magic pebble]

I think it's a 'it's not worth the time' type of feature.

[vivid mantle]

Yep this is what I understood also from RFI #4.

However I personally disagree with that statement.

[tepid torrent]

considering how much still needs to get done in such a limited amount of time you are correct

[eager forum]

Dang your old

🧌

[quaint copper]

mfw the 15 year old game has better backblast logic

[vivid mantle]

Arma 2 had quite a bit of advanced stuff made by talented modders 🙂

[topaz nexus]

Yeah nah that feels like something that should be there considering it's arma

[quartz lance]

If you mean the backblast itself ( VFX ) then nope there was none in vanilla.
Also made by myself.

[quartz lance]

Indeed i'm not the youngest anymore. 👻
But i guess Arma franchise has quite a lot of ppl my age.

[tepid torrent]

agreed, for authenticities sake

[twilit junco]

is it possible to shot down the flying rocket ? like 4 machine guns are shooting and some rocket get shot by pure luck, does engine allow to "create" collision bullets with rocket ?

[tepid torrent]

with bullets it is out of the question, but i think an anti missile system would be amaxing and would require this, I think this would be possible to do in workbench

[plucky karma]

Does that post on twitter with FIA guys mean something? Do they tease me?

[eager forum]

Yea arma has a lot of oldies in it but that’s how you know it community is good if there people in the 40-80s still playing it lol

[magic pebble]

anyone over 30 got dunked on by a 14 years old with the reflexes of a cat in fortnite before deciding to play arma

[drowsy geode]

Question, can AI repair vehicles now?

[terse cloak]

no

[thorn furnace]

I played fortnite back when it first released, stopped after they changed the island because kids were giving me shit for not having any skins. Like I give fuck about skins.

[tawny sapphire]

Speak for yourself

[tepid torrent]

its the mentality that gives epic millions

[terse cloak]

Games with older communities tend to actually be very friendly and helpful

[magic pebble]

stevee is a broke boy going around with the default skin.

you rather spend your money on rent, grocery, and going out on date like some kind of loser

[terse cloak]

Shun the lifer, glory to the non lifers

[steel yew]

How do you decommission vehicles? Do you get supply points back?

[tepid torrent]

i dont think you can decommission yet

[ancient rapids]

Apparently you can in experimental, maybe ask in #reforger_experimental

[steel yew]

Hey gramps are there instances on your remix scenario don’t spawn enemy ai when we go around capturing flags?

[ancient rapids]

not sure what you mean, but we can discuss in #1113877580714614944 if you like

[steel yew]

Ok thank you

[stray blade]

In exp, move vic inside the base, interact with decomission action on the hood, get some supplies back. Eg truck that costs 200 sup, you get 50 back

[terse cloak]

Not very cash money

[polar veldt]

Does anyone have a picture of all the new civilian clothing?

[stray blade]

#reforger_experimental message

[cerulean token]

Does the engine startup chance currently work ? I havent been noticing any differences in the time it takes for ages now

[supple wigeon]

Thought they got rid of it a while ago

[cerulean token]

For some while the engine instantly started yeah, but that was readded. I dont think engine damage affects how long it takes though, idk

[vestal meteor]

@spice bone are you able to assist or answer some questions about the map editor tool ? workbench

[topaz whale]

People in #enfusion_terrain might know answers to those questions

[vestal meteor]

i got his info from some ppl and they told me he is the creator of the map tool creator in enfusion

so he might be able to help out

the map is smaller than some peoples maps and xbox S cant run it

[topaz whale]

The people in #enfusion_terrain might be able to help too. Or maybe not. Might get you an answer faster too

[swift basalt]

Anyone have any possible solution on being able to invert mouse vertical inputs specifically for flying?

maybe an external program that inverts mouse bound to freelook key?

Also is it just me or does autorotation not exist in reforger

[green pike]

Hi all...
With RHS I have trouble spawning with my custom load out (previously saved form the inventory menu)...I'mPlaying a GM game....
Any idea how to fix it?
I can access the predetermined loadout but not the custome...
thx for the help...

[quiet moat]

Will the Tobi5 tracker be supported in any future updates ?

Currently the Tobi5 Eyetracker does not work for headtracking in reforger, just wondering if it will be supported in future updates

[tired raft]

is there any way to report people on here

[magic pebble]

no

[tired raft]

theres this guy who consistently vote kicks for no reason every time hes in a server

[magic pebble]

there been losers doing this kind of things for almost two years now. We just don't have the technology to ban players. human civilization did not progress that much yet.

[void shadow]

R there any mods that add proper arsenal? Where all the guns and gear are in there?

[old adder]

I beg to differ, we've been banning people from life since we discovered that rocks do hurt

sticks too

anything really

[wraith kindle]

Arsenals are in the game already, Bacon has a mod where you can make arsenals have infinite supplies (which I think should be a feature as a GM in the base game, would make gearing up before ops a lot easier). If you mean an arsenal like there is in Arma 3, no, there isn't any that I know of.

[sage delta]

What tool do I use to begin creating a map?

[rain jasper]

Nope, didn't find it. There are filtered "by factions"

Any arsenal have to be for a faction and show the items of that faction

Did any of you able to add a arsenal to a vehicule ?

[minor acorn]

There are already arsenal vehicles, like the arsenal trucks for each of the factions.

[void shadow]

I meant one like in arma 3, the ones in reforger r just boxes with infinite supply lol

[rain jasper]

Thx. But I want to put an arsenal to an vehicule wich doesn't have it. Can't reproduce the vanilla arsenals trucks

[minor acorn]

Are you modding it yourself or do you want to add it to it in game?

If modding, it's pretty easy to do if the vehicle has a SlotManagerComponent. You just add a slot to it (use EntitySlotInfo), and then add the BaseVirtualArsenalSlot.et to it's prefab. That should make the vehicle work as an arsenal vehicle, you just need to open it in the inventory.

[terse cloak]

They arent infinite supplies tho

Unless somebody disabled supplies they shouldnt be unlimited

[broken hatch]

anyone know if camo paint for faces is in scope ?

[rain jasper]

that's it thx !

[void shadow]

Arsenal in arma originally is more than just an inventory of a box but a proper list of all the existing gear in one convenient place..

That was my point

[terse cloak]

Ah i get you

[old adder]

There are mods bringing back the A3 arsenal style, but vanilla no

[void shadow]

You got names of them?

[old adder]

Not really rn, look for "arsenal" in the workshop
I recommand Bacon's arsenal tho

[void shadow]

Thanks

[foggy ridge]

try customizing my m4 in it, that's the best part

[topaz whale]

In Arma Reforger Tools it's the World Editor

[shut cosmos]

Arma Reforger Tools, comes with the game on Steam(PC)

[flint dragon]

does anybody know why in my scenario the timelapse is broken? I have seen that once Im inside the server if it is night time it will remain night

[flint dragon]

even ifm time passes it will always remain night time

[ancient rapids]

Can we please go back to having a visible cube for ai spawn points when they are not selected? Would make editing ai in scenarios much, much easier IMHO.

[foggy ridge]

I don't have a solution for you but when you select something in the hierarchy sidebar and hit F it will focus camera on it

[cloud locust]

Btw. does anyone know if we ever get Boltaction Rifles in Reforger? A Mosin or a M700 would fit so well in this game.

[magic pebble]

with the current update, we are all done with new weapons to the vanilla game.

except for mortar and flare gun.

[vivid mantle]

I have not heard about this but I have been thinking the same. M24 adopted in '88 would fit the US faction well and FIA should get the mosin.

But yeah unfortunately no new weapons remain on the roadmap 😢

[lethal furnace]

The game has medics but came to think of this: are they just riflemen with a loadout that has more medical supplies? Does a medic (character) have differing traits or capabilities when it comes to treating wounded in-game? I mean, as far as I understand any type of character can use the currently available medical items on other characters which makes the medic character a bit of useless (unless it has some specific traits/better stats/whatever for treating wounded)

[magic pebble]

They have no different stats.

If you have a medic in your squad, they should carry a medic box instead of extra ammo, but because of how the weight system works, everyone carry everything.

[lethal furnace]

You are certain that this is the case? Maybe taken a look (in their 'stats')? Asking since..I guess I just want to hear a confirmation that if they do or don't (I'm not sure where I should look if I'd wanted to go look myself)

[terse cloak]

there arent any class stats.

[lucid tulip]

M21 imo already works better as a sniper as opposed to a svd like designated marksman rifle just due to the higher magnification optic. And was irl considered a sniper weapon system that was used with sniper scout units until its replacement. In any case m21 doesn't see its full potential in reforger because the trajectory cam doesn't work for it. The bullet cam would basically change the elevation of the scope to compensate for the bullet drop,. So all one had to is zoom until the mils fit to the upper half of a body regardless of the assigned zero. Matched and based on the level of variable zoom you used you not only had your range but didn't need to manually adjust the zeroing before firing.. You just squeezed the trigger.

[elder hazel]

are randomly-spawned civilians & a "population" planned? everon seems a bit too desolate

[steel yew]

Any mods that have black body armor/chest rigs and backpacks for like night op outfits?

[magic pebble]

knowing the arma community, even if they added them, the island will seem desolate again two minutes after the match start.

[brisk lark]

Bolt action rifles are possible to mod in right now, the biggest issue is if you want to use something that has a build-in mag since the MuzzleInMagComponent is a bit restrictive in that respect. Might or might not change in the future.

[wraith kindle]

Ambulances are already in the game. Police vehicles are probably going to be a no, and vehicle radios are also probably a no

[magic pebble]

I think I saw police cars, they are a reskin of uaz

[wraith kindle]

There are police car retextures of cars in Arma life mods, but I wouldn’t expect one to be included in the base game. Maybe if BI does a civilian faction it’d be different

[magic pebble]

the reskin uaz is the truth

[steel yew]

Anyone know what benefits Enfusion Persistence Framework does to a server if I include it in my modlist? Does it help with vehicles being left on the map if we use them?

[tardy rune]

its a framework. putting it on your server doesnt do anything if you dont know how to use it.

[tawny sapphire]

If you run it along side the Database framework the you don't need to know how to use it for it to work.

[steel yew]

What’s the difference between the two living quarters, the small and larger one?

[terse cloak]

4 ai for small, i think 8 for big one.

[quaint copper]

On Experimental it changed
instead, bigger ones reduce spawn cost even more and make AI costs cheaper

[still rain]

I have problems with micro stutters, game goes on 60 fps fine, but it doesnt feel smooth. When it gets to 80 fps, thats point where it starts to feel smooth. Probably this is one of the most asked questions, but will DLSS ever be introduced to Reforger? many of us would benefit from that a lot. Does anyone have any Info on this topic?

[shy charm]

Does Reforger treat Hands/Gloves as separate item slots? (I see feet/boots are separate. Also torse and legs.) This is a must so we can pick gloves. Example, medics could wear medical gloves when they need to.

[half locust]

it doesn’t, nope

[foggy ridge]

no but mods added this ability already

[shy charm]

since they made feet/boots into official slots, me humbly thinks hands/gloves should be too. But thank goodness for mod makers 😄

[magic pebble]

They need to add it so they can sell gloves skins in the future

[drowsy geode]

Will weapon damage be more than just a cosmetic feature?

[sage delta]

what does this even mean?

[ancient rapids]

client mods dont match server mods

[wraith kindle]

Doubtful, they were able to be struck in arma 3 and they couldn't break then.

[flint dragon]

Is there a list of all reforger scenarios?

[snow fossil]

Not sure if this is right place to ask since it is related to my gaming experience. I have NAT Type D where I live. I tried all the damn tutorials about opening ports and I got no results. Thinking of getting VPN. Anyone any experience? Is it suitable for gaming? Whats the price?

[bleak depot]

When 60 FPS on Xbox ?

[supple wigeon]

Today

[bleak depot]

[old adder]

This is a very WIP game, and even if some marketing team at BI call it 1.0.whatever, it's still very Early (on console and pc) and optimization is never a priority (for developing reasons), if it's meant to be played and playable (which it is)

[bleak depot]

So bad too stay blocked at 30 or 45 FPS with drops I like the game but I just want he get more optimized

[supple wigeon]

The experimental version got updated it stays at 60 much better now

[bleak depot]

Really?

For Xbox or pc ?

[supple wigeon]

Xbox

[bleak depot]

Okay

Thanks for the information

[topaz whale]

You can do it in DayZ. I would imagine they would add the feature to A4 at some point. At least I hope so. Seems a bit unrealistic being able to use an AK from a guy that just got hit by a 500lbs bomb

[half locust]

which one? S or X?\

[bleak depot]

Me I'm on S

[exotic marsh]

My game runs great on Xbox Series S for both

stable depends on my graphics quality being low as High locks frames at 30 from what I know

experimental runs really well but I've only done GM so I wouldn't know about conflict.

[supple wigeon]

X

[steel yew]

I’ve noticed that when I’m using a the .50 cal on a humvee, the game eats my can of ammo very frequently (using humvee variants and whatever mods asscociayed with it” any ideas on why this happens online for me?

[vivid mantle]

probably the garbage manager problem, should be fixed in next update (though I have not tested)

[steel yew]

What’s the comparison between vanilla and mod garage manager?

[vivid mantle]

wut?

[steel yew]

So the garbage mod says dead characters:5 mins, items on floor 2 mins etc, what is it originally?

[quaint cargo]

Lower end hardware will always equate to lower quality gameplay

[clear sparrow]

@grand parcel hey you’re the owner of the spectator mod?

[whole fossil]

You’re saying when the experimental came out last week? Or an update came out today?

[supple wigeon]

Last week

[broken hatch]

Yep

[uneven smelt]

Does anyone know of a button mod for putting your weapon into high ready with it being a seperate animation?

[digital crane]

bons animations

[uneven smelt]

Yeah I want there to be a quicker button combo 😂

[digital crane]

well there isn’t one

[uneven smelt]

Yeah ok, hence why I was asking if there was 😊

[foggy ridge]

aim up lol

[sage delta]

Suggestion: It's be cool and immersive if AI were to make small conversation, American conversations could be about cliche 80s topics, Soviets could be about soviet leadership.

[terse cloak]

Probably a4 stuff

[sage delta]

It's an easy and simple idea, Reforger will be supported after Arma 4 I believe

[terse cloak]

Very niche stuff

[stray blade]

You mean like half life where an npc asks "a question" and another gives "an answer"?

Ie: 1: "its a lovely weather we are having"
2: "sometimes i dream about cheese"

[terse cloak]

Probably bug fixes but why would they add content to reforger when theres a4.

[old adder]

Sounds like a lot of work for a very minor detail, but would be cool if they do
Also not everyone speaks english

[sage delta]

Only three languages would be needed at about 60 lines of dialogue

[delicate turret]

Can't connect to my friends server, nor can he connect to my hosted one. Keeping getting code group one replication, reason 3 connection failure. how do we solve this?

[stray blade]

Port forward, publicPort UDP inbound

[delicate turret]

This is on experimental

[delicate turret]

Already have, didn't solve issue

[stray blade]

Firewall or isp doesnt allow inbound traffic

[flint dragon]

is there a way to increase time to rejoin after crash?

maybe on server json config?

[tardy rune]

yes there is, possible to change up to 300s. 90% sure its in server config, but i can confirm that for you in a few hours

[flint dragon]

if you could please guide me on how to do it you'll do me big a favor

[flint dragon]

"slotReservationTimeout" maybe?

[shy charm]

How is Reforger handling ballistic simulation and damage models? Are they simulating impacts like Gunner HEAT PC or just hit boxes and points?

[magic pebble]

b sim is pretty nice, you can check it out in the tools

[terse cloak]

i think the rpg heat shoots shrapnel around.

inside the vehicle

[magic pebble]

it shoot a bunch in i a cone

it even works on some walls. hit the wall on one side, the shrapnel go out of the other side

[bleak depot]

Someone know if that exist a mod with just AKS-74U ?

[lyric obsidian]

RHS

[bleak depot]

I know this one but I don't want Download 4go for just one weapon that ridiculous

They talk to add this weapon in full game ?

[lyric obsidian]

I don't think so, it's not getting there anytime soon according to roadmap.

[bleak depot]

I see they had red dot in experimental game and that not in roadmap

So that why I ask

[lyric obsidian]

Yep then probably waiting what stuff will come is only option here.

[bleak depot]

Okie

[tardy rune]

im sure you already figured it out, but yes, thats the one. just set it to 300 for 5 minutes, it cant go over 300

[sturdy adder]

Is there a fix for the radio selection menu being disabled/hidden after entering and leaving arma vision?

[granite gorge]

Is destruction planned in terms of buildings? Maybe a similar destruction to battlefield, or the older battlefield games like bad company where u can mainly destroy only walls

[terse cloak]

On roadmap ye

[granite gorge]

Yea but like its it arma 3 type of destruction or can we expect something similar to battlefield

Or maybe if not in Arma reforger is it a possibility for arma 4

[tepid torrent]

we will have to wait and see, i doubt there will be destruction in segments, but me saying this could eb false because they already do segment based destruction with some walls or fences, so we could possibly get this with buildings as well, but we can safely assume it is going to look 10 times better than in arma 3

[granite gorge]

Agreed, I just think it would fit the game very well and create more realistic combat because when a tank shoots a shell into a building I expect a hole but not the building directly collapsing (Unless its a shed or so im talking about a real building) or nothing happening

[tepid torrent]

if we get this, i will be so impressed, it will open up so many more possibilities for battles, a mortar striken town with realistic destroyed buildings to a scale of everon has never been done, and i love when BI gets ambitious with things like this

[granite gorge]

Actually true, can we create a petition of this to be at least planned lmao

[granite gorge]

And if by chance we get a mod like Alive in Arma 3 where u can save multiplayer games to continue later

[vivid mantle]

They talk a bit about their destruction plans in one of the RFI:s

[magic pebble]

"will use solutions used in arma 3 for the destruction" is what green arrow said.

[nocturne cliff]

I wondered if anyone knows how to code mods into a server really struggling can’t seem to get it right

[tepid torrent]

there are hoards of people in this discord that could help you

[nocturne cliff]

No worries I’ll just wait and hopefully someone could give us a hand

[half locust]

petition the most useless thing ever

[granite gorge]

Its a joke man

[half locust]

there is a feedback tracker that is available for both issues you might have encountered, as well as feature requests. It is pinned in the #reforger_feedback channel

that surely is more useful than any petition, joke or not

[brisk lark]

Sometimes something extra gets added when opportunity arises, but I wouldn't count on that. The only thing that is pretty sure to come is what's on the roadmap. Anything else is bonus.

[mossy gyro]

just wondering if anyone knows the craic with two missiles, will the tow1 or tow2 atgms be coming to the game at any point?

[magic pebble]

they are not on the roadmap.

[haughty glacier]

bruh

is My steam tripping? The Reforger experimental is saying 19 GB update

[lusty sedge]

In game master is there a way to give a higher rank to a player? I'm trying to make it so players can use the living quarters to spawn AI

Currently it is locked to the rank of Sergeant

[foggy ridge]

wow this comes up a lot maybe I should look into this

[ancient rapids]

I believe it was the author of crx mod that had this feature in an old version. Could probably ask how they did it to save some time.

[lusty sedge]

Im assuming it is not a feature then in Vanilla

[tardy rune]

i remember being able to do it to ai, i dont think it worked for players though?

[ancient rapids]

it did, i used it to rank up my player in gm to test conflict features way back when

[ancient rapids]

Do you guys plan on adding a reserved slot option for server owners? I'm tired of not being able to join my own server cuz its full all the time.

[gaunt basin]

How will you be able to get civilian clothing and vehicles in the future I’m on experimental now in conflict and no civilian cars or clothing anywhere

[magic pebble]

cars are dotted around the map. clothe only exist in the combat ops mode afaik.

[onyx spade]

When I try to aim in on console it just zooms but doesn’t ads.

How do I fix that?

This is what it looks like.

[chrome sphinx]

Can you host a coop server in experimental?

[digital vortex]

anyone knows how to use the RHS's 2S1 range tab?

[topaz nexus]

So with the new M16A2 model, has the Bohemia firearms division gone under?

[supple wigeon]

Sadly they weren’t making enough profit they sold the m16 contract to Bowen Arms and then sold their m9 deal to another Czech company. They then consolidated their efforts and went back to their roots of car manufacturing.

[topaz nexus]

True deep lore

[lucid tulip]

its funny lore becuase it reflects RL. iRL Colt was struggling finacnially and ended up being bought out by the Czechs a few years ago. CZ owns colt.

[cerulean token]

Anyone else think people take more bullets in expy ? Maybe they made limb shots do less damage or something ? Would benefit the medics

I can shoot a guy in the leg with a PKM twice and he's alive, he would've died on stable

[quasi lance]

How do I use this game mechanic? It seems to have no use and I can’t find any answers online.

[quaint copper]

Only works in experimental

If you bring vehicles to a repair depot you can cash them in for supplies
Half their cost - Damages done to it

[quasi lance]

Thank you!

[cerulean token]

So is the czech UK59 gun actually held the way it is in AR ? I would think the barrel gets quite unpleasant to hold

[stray blade]

1/4 cost

[steel yew]

Anyone know if there is a mod out there that makes supply points generate on their own at capture points?

[mint crypt]

Can someone point me in the direction on how to post in communities?

[slow pagoda]

#communities_arma3

pinned messages have instructions what you need to do

[topaz nexus]

I thought it was the other way around?

[topaz nexus]

Irl you would hold it by the carry handle it twists around for this purpose of firing while moving or from a standing position. Idk why they made it like in reforger

[reef temple]

nah man, cz owns colt now

[topaz nexus]

Neat.

[wispy solar]

Is there any mod for artillery?

[long cradle]

https://youtu.be/MmwM2ttFZYc?si=H__kGJYm9aQypW9U hopefuly this answers the qustion

[cerulean token]

Oh well.. 🥴

[coarse plaza]

does morphine give your character any side effects?

[terse cloak]

You cant od

[vivid mantle]

unfortunately no it does not, just makes you recover faster

[coarse plaza]

that is broken

Some facts:

1. It takes exactly 16 minutes to fully recover blood loss - from "uncon from blood loss" state to fully recovered
2. it takes 1m 20 se to recover 70% of blood recovered with one saline solution
3. With 2 saline solutions you can fully recovery blood in about 2m 45 sec - 3m
4. A serious injury is fully healed with 4 morphines within 2 minutes (1 morphine works for 30 seconds)
5. You can fully heal any injury within 3 second with a first aid kit + ambulance in the proximity - costs 1 supply loaded into ambulance. You cannot heal yourself with first aid kit

Like why do you need medics

Just hit yourself with morphine 4 times

[vivid mantle]

Yeah I have been talking about this here probably too much at this point 🙂
It is too easy to self heal at the moment and wounds don't affect your performance enough for them to matter.
No reason to have medics or ambulances other than glorified equipment carriers.

More whining here 😄

[coarse plaza]

Gotta say it's with these non-standard settings

[undone epoch]

Is the Reforger soundtrack on Spotify?

[terse cloak]

no

[undone epoch]

That's a damn shame, beautiful music.

[terse cloak]

its on steam

[undone epoch]

Noice! thank you.

[long yacht]

Hello. I'm trying to make my own map and I'm having a problem with the grass, it's just white. The grass is white in the editor and in the game. How can I fix this?

[magic pebble]

satmap decide the color of grass

[long yacht]

thx

[lucid tulip]

are we going to be getting the PASGT helmet without the helmet camouflage cover acessible via armory? Its in the game files

[alpine raft]

Anyone having issues with the royal marine vehicle pack mod? I see in the description that the chinook should be in there but for whatever reason it doesn’t seem to show up in the vehicle list

[topaz nexus]

All helis were busted and only now we're getting helis back slowly, expect the chinook to take awhile.

[sand verge]

how can i fix this issue with the mod?

[bleak cedar]

Good afternoon.
As you know, in Arma community there is a part of players who play big TvT games with more than 150 players.
Do you plan to optimize the network code of the game to be able to play with such number of players?

There is also the issue of network issues when the number of players reaches or is close to the existing limit.
Do you plan to address this issue?
And if so, what is the priority of this task?

[remote nebula]

Hello, i have this error message each time i try to join a server. Can someone help me ?

[magic pebble]

documents > my games > arma reforger > delete the 'addon' files

[fading stirrup]

in the new combat ops everon scenario, is it persistent? what I mean is, can you like close the scenario and come back to it later and your progress will be kept?

[white bluff]

Hey, don't know where else to go for this issue, I have tried so many things and cant find the error and have searched through so many threads. I am able to load up a server on my own, and my friends can join it, however I cannot. I am almost confident it is because of something with me being connected to the same router that the server is hosted out from. I am unsure though if anyone has any fixes, please do help!

[stray blade]

You are correct.
You need to enable NAT loopback/hairpinning on your router.

Issue stems due to your routers inability to resolve your own public ip.

And reforger server disallowing connection on local loopback (localhost)

[white bluff]

I found a work around fortunately, but thank you for responding!

[crude copper]

doesnt anyone know why every server is at 400+ ping but my internet is stable and fine on everyother game?

[lunar shadow]

good morning Ladies, hope your Sunday it going well! could somebody tell me the difference with the "non experimental" and the "experimental" version and is that the one you all play?

[terse cloak]

people mostly play on stable, experiemental is more for modders and testing updates before they arrive to stable, experiemental has players but not many untill update goes to stable where it dies.

[shy vapor]

I know this is the wrong channel for it but how do I use the arma bot in #communities_xbox

[slow pagoda]

the pinned messages on that channel have instructions

[clever swallow]

does anyone know if there are any Dress Uniform mods for Reforger?

[slow pagoda]

they would be in the workshop if they exist

[clever swallow]

any idea what one is called?

[slow pagoda]

nope, I have no idea if there is one. just saying that is the place where you can look for one

[clever swallow]

oh right on well thank you

[silk jay]

Does anyone know if any more Canadian mods have been added? Haven’t played in awhile

[austere nimbus]

no, sorry 🇨🇦

[silk jay]

Damn has reforger + been added yet

[terse cloak]

Whats that

[clever swallow]

does anyone else ever have an issue with game master on a dedicated server not allowing you to spawn in AI troops randomly? the budget is turned off but myself and my other game master at random times it will not allow us to spawn in AI troops, all other items spawn in just fine tho.

also it appears that when it happens a clock icon will appear on my cursor in game master mode, anyone know what that means?

[azure ruin]

what’s the new key binds for switching from voice to radio? Has it changed in the past few months. I can go into local voice, but I cannot switch to radio. It used to be tapping Left Bumper to switch between the two, but it no longer does the action.

I’m on Xbox

[brisk jewel]

Hello，can anybody help，my friend trying to Join my players hosted server shows error group1 ‘replication’ reason=3 connection failure something like this

[tepid torrent]

reforger+? as in the streaming service or...

[silk jay]

No😂 someone was making a mod called reforger + with a bunch of shit in it

[terse cloak]

only one that i remember being advertised as vanilla plus vas hcore

[spark hound]

That'd be Commander Eagle

[long yacht]

Hi, could you help me? Why is map not working? I added the SCR_MapEntity component, created Map Geometry Data and Satellite Background for it, when entering the game when pressing M, the character just gets the map, but it does not open

[topaz whale]

The map doesn't work in workbench for some reason. Test it Ingame.

[topaz whale]

Also, I recommend posting map/terrain making questions in #enfusion_terrain

[silver quest]

Is there a way to record gameplay and then play it back like Halo 3's theater mode?

Like a replay

[charred dawn]

kind of a dumb question, but what’s the lore of the game? like who are the fia, where is everon and arland?

[drowsy geode]

check out the armed assault wiki page

[unreal parcel]

Any idea if there's a place where we can know what to expect for the next update?

[vivid mantle]

The experimental branch

[unreal parcel]

Right, but I was thinking like a list or something of the sort

[unreal parcel]

For anyone wondering who might be a bit lost, it's easier to just go here and see what's what: https://reforger.armaplatform.com/news

[terse cloak]

Yeah in the news as 1.1.0.15

[quaint cargo]

If I wanted to reduce the distance that friendly names appear, would this be server side, or require a mod?

[quiet token]

I think require a mod or put inside the mission edit you Run

[vivid mantle]

Only doable by a mod that every client needs to have.
It is a really simple config change though.
And if you ask me BI should make it so that it is configurable on the server config.

[random cape]

You can check the second and third primary images on this page; the (to-me-seemingly) orange text is what's on experimental branch as of right now: https://reforger.armaplatform.com/roadmap
