[foggy ridge]

Also the eyes look funny

Do the eyes have red wireframe?

[lapis fractal]

Is it possible to have custom fps cap?

[elder hazel]

how will the destructible buildings work? will they be handled like battlefield, where you can blow holes in it until it collapses? or will it use arma 3's modelswapping method?

[crisp laurel]

is there a way to make an arsenal with all available equipment in it?

[void shadow]

Anyone remember if there were any official hints or statements that reforger's workshop will come to steam workshop?

Kinda miss that ability to hop on steam workshop quickly to check what current's week's most popular mods popped up like with a3 lol

[elfin ledge]

If its dynamic god knows im going to carry as many rpgs as i can

[magic pebble]

They said that they will use solutions that they used before in a3 for the destruction.

Make of that what you will.

[glossy pawn]

is this tool good with reforger and battleye?
https://store.steampowered.com/app/993090/Lossless_Scaling/

[austere nimbus]

1. I doubt BattlEye will like it, since it's modifying the process (even when it doesn't change anything game related). So use at your own risk.
2. No idea if it works with Reforger, or if it adds any benefits other than causing more issues (additional input/output lag due to extra process inbetween game and you)
3. Why use a paid tool when there's a free and open source application out there? https://github.com/Blinue/Magpie

[loud root]

Hi I don't know if someone can help me, but my time and weather entity keeps showing up with an error message saying that there is a virtual machine exception and the 'index is out of bounds' I've checked it repeatedly to see the issue, and tried debugging it but nothing seems to work. There is nothing about it on the forums either.

[chrome sphinx]

They said more like arma 3 but "better sound, better looking" but they acknowledged that we want "brick by brick" destruction but that's probably to demanding for now

[elfin ledge]

What is your mod about, that error seems related to your mod

[loud root]

I'm just creating a terrain, nothing too fancy, when I remove the weather entity no error..., I'm going to continue trying to debug it, worst case scenario no weather on the map

its very odd i might double check the priority's on the PPE's but idk

i might create a test terrain from scratch to see what the error is

[fossil condor]

update when

[loud root]

?

[loud root]

I fixed the issue i used the wrong weather entity

[strange verge]

Question, WW2 German stuff isn’t allowed, is it?

[void shadow]

Anyone else suffering from low fps while looking down the scopes?

[vestal sinew]

PIP scopes are very resource intensive so I'd suggest turning on 2d scopes in the settings, i used to have fps drops when aiming when I had a worse gpu

[void shadow]

Wait theres such option? ..

[vestal sinew]

Yeah just look through the settings and you'll find it

[void shadow]

Oh my god

I didnt look hard enough i guess

[vestal sinew]

👍

[loud root]

there is nothing stopping you from making stuff that is WW2 era

there are plenty of WW2 mods on arma 3, and there are mods for the Taliban, ISIS, Boko haram, Hamas. The list goes on. In other words you can make no no German stuff

[tawny sapphire]

I don't think swastikas can be used. Better find out from a green name first.

[magic pebble]

a3 has plenty of mods with swastikas

[tawny sapphire]

This also isn't Arma 3 and the user agreement isn't the same, pretty sure i've seen it said that they are prohibited. Like I said, ask a dev, specifically one that knows what they're talking about.

[loud root]

if they are prohibited how are they regulated?

is it a violation of TOS and then something happens or..

[slow pagoda]

you cant put in swastikas and nazi symbols

if that is what you are looking for

[magic pebble]

are we 100% on this?

[slow pagoda]

stuff like that has been banned before youll have to ask BI

[woven charm]

is it okay to use reshade with arma reforger?

[pulsar night]

How do I get the Mogadishu scenario on my server? It doesnt show as a scenario just a mod, but I cant get it running.

[tawny sapphire]

As i've mentioned twice, ask B.I. I just recall it being said at some point that they aren't allowed. I understand the implications of the symbol but, in order to make historically accurate items for custom game modes and such they kinda have to be included. Firstly not allowing use of the symbol is just hiding the facts of history, I personally don't see it as a hate symbol if it's used in a historical sense(Imagine watching a WWII movie that didn't display them....). I mean, the country that used it as a hate symbol hasn't used it in like 75 years. If I wanted to make a WW2 mod and wasn't allowed to upload to their workshop because I'd be banned if I did. I'd make the mod anyway and distribute via other means.

[tawny sapphire]

Not really, if it doesn't come from a green name then it's heresy. I think the actual problem here is uploading it to the workshop but, you'd have to take a look at all the TOS and EULAs. I faintly recall a green name saying it wasn't allowed and citing some TOS or something regarding "Hate Symbols".

[brittle herald]

Any mod that allows an admin to change a players team?

[latent shard]

@half locust hey PuFu, hope I don't disturb. I'm curious, RHS allows no retextures of their original assets, right? Or is it a case-by-case ask first type of thing?

[elfin ledge]

Do we have a whole list? I'm trying to do a mod that might have uhhh "conflictive" flags

[slow pagoda]

Maybe @fossil meadow can shed some light into use of various controversial symbols etc

[foggy steppe]

Any news about RFI?

[elfin ledge]

tbh i would need a list, as depending on developer symbols may vary

[fossil meadow]

No IRL symbology regarding IRL events (Old or new)

Also, no pictures or textures of IRL events or people as well. Depending on what you could get banned even.

I am making a comprehensive list and article on what is allowed, so you will get it at some point along with the severities of them

For now, just ask.

Doing first and find out later will get you banned most likely

[elfin ledge]

aside from ww2 germany, is there any nation/armed group symbol that would be banned? for example current afghan flag

in overall terms, i mean

[fossil meadow]

#reforger_questions message

[tawny sapphire]

No historically accurate mods, cool.

[terse cloak]

So no hammer and sickle?

[tawny sapphire]

Nope

[elfin ledge]

thats already in game 🤔

we need that list, as the comment itself might ban basically most if not all nations

[tawny sapphire]

The American flag is a symbol too remove it.

[elfin ledge]

except switzerland of course since they are actually neutral

[tawny sapphire]

Except no IRL symbols

[elfin ledge]

Replace the cross with cheese with holes

[thorn furnace]

Understand this broad new rules wouldn't be necessary if the community didn't insist on glorifying war criminals. Offensive content was already against the rules, but people would stick their fingers in their ears and say stupid shit like"anyone can find anything offensive" and "no political" when it was pointed out to them.

[tawny sapphire]

Historical accuracy != Glorifying war criminals. Grow up

[thorn furnace]

The rule is probably a reaction to Z mods, not mods using historically accurate symbols. Grow up

[tawny sapphire]

You sure got me there, I don't even know what Z mods are. Perhaps you meant "The Mods"?

[foggy ridge]

zorro is banned now

[thorn furnace]

a Z mod is exactly what it's name suggests; a mod made by pro Z trolls, like GREYZONE

[foggy ridge]

rip don diego

[tawny sapphire]

What did they do?

I'm guessing his mod actually was glorifying war criminals?

[thorn furnace]

Well, in typical Z fashion, everything is stolen from others. But yes, promo shots for his mod recreate real-life photos from news stories of war criminals in Bucha/Irpin area. The intent is to glorify the Z symboly.

[tawny sapphire]

I hadn't even heard about any of that.

[half locust]

our license is ND. Which means we get to tolerate (or not) any dependency mods. We do not provide individual permission outside our License to anyone, for any reasons.

as long as it respects BI guidelines, it is non-commercial, does not portray ongoing conflicts / invasions and/or terrorism / pornography or any other morally dubious things that would affect the image of our group (RHS) we generally tolerate most retextures

[elfin ledge]

tbh i just want to do a factions mod so every nation has the same quality in terms of configuration, independent of what war criminals they might have

and upgrade it to contain non-nation groups and arma exclusive nations

[latent shard]

got it, thhank you very much for your detailed explanation :) got a bit concerned with ND, but that there is well defined.

[wheat forge]

Which kind mod that arms reforger has pve

[sand verge]

Hey guys, I used a program called "Lossless Scaling" on Arma Reforger, it's supposed to help scale windowed games to fullscreen. After this i got an error when trying to connect to servers "BATTLEYE=GLOBALBAN" Does this mean that the program got me banned? If so is there anything i can do about it?

[spark hound]

Pretty dedicated to make a whole 2-3 Gigabyte mod just to troll.

[thorn furnace]

Unlikely the two are related. You were probably banned for cheating. If not https://www.battleye.com/contact/

[thorn furnace]

Well they didn't really make shit; all ripped from Tarkov and Arma 3 mods, just a few things they bought on Turbosquid.

[spark hound]

I'm gonna just drop this before I get into it.

[thorn furnace]

#ip_rights_violations message Just the latest, they were confronted with evidence of ripping twice before, and removed the ripped stuff each time.

[sand verge]

Thank you

[lucid tulip]

are there going to be rangable sights planned for 50 cals? it would make it easier to use 50's on longer ranges if we werent limited to 100m zeroing.

case in point had a BTR camping exit from MOB from across goats bay, So had to duel one from a far. ( too far for laws to reach) https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/551465062339051521/1232519991245406208/image.png?ex=6629c131&is=66286fb1&hm=7d7d2148efe7491f2f1fefe784e4474defcdf5c380a433d9dd6627bf4fa4869a&

even then of course BTR has the advantage just becuase of the magnification on gunners optic

[steel yew]

Anyone know which mod had the F 18 airstrikes and cruiser missles on gamemaster? I removed several mods and don’t even know which one has those now since I’m trying to pull them up

[half locust]

RHS status quo

[steel yew]

Ah that’s what I feared. I was removing some mods and picked that one since it seemed like it was conflicting and causing disconnects.

[crisp laurel]

how does one edit arsenal contents in world editor?

[loud root]

are you trying to create a virtual arsenal or just specific items in a box?

you would have to use a subscene of the world and then if you want a virtual arsenal you would have to add a script, to add individual items i believe it is easier.

i would'nt recommend adding an arsenal to the base terrain way more simplistic the sub scene method

hope this helps 🫡

[stable topaz]

Good advice but how does one actually edit the contents of an arsenal box? Is it only possible via scripts?

[foggy ridge]

I don't think it actually is possible to edit arsenal configs in script, might be wrong tho

[stable topaz]

Is it possible by duplicating an arsenal box and messing with it? Not actually tried yet, will take a look later.

In Arma 3 it's very straightforward to pick the contents of an ammo box, puzzles me why Reforger is different/lacking.

[foggy ridge]

it's very easy in reforger, search for entity catalog

[loud root]

this ☝️

also if you look around on github there may be a script someone made for the functionality you are searching for 😆

[timber phoenix]

next update in half a year?

[loud root]

we don't know, my honest belief is maybe 2 more updates max to Reforger then we get Arma 4 some time late 2024- 2025. But i could be wrong

[terse cloak]

2 more major updates? more like 4 atleast

maybe it will take like a year for those or 2, then wait another 1 or 2 years so 2026-27

[loud root]

yeah that sounds more realistic

[azure palm]

Bold of you to assume Arma 4 is so near finishing

[loud root]

not finished, but an early access version in 2025

[azure palm]

BI clearly stated that as they get closer to finishing Reforger, more and more devs will be reallocated to Arma 4

[loud root]

👍

[azure palm]

And Reforger is FAR from finishing (roughly halfway)

[azure palm]

That's more plausible, but I wouldn't count on that

[loud root]

yeah idk im just really hyped for it, maybe thats why im hoping for sooner than later

hopefully we can at least get a trailer for it maybe mid 2025

[azure palm]

I'd love to see Arma 4 too, especially in a modern-ish setting (by modern I mean like 2009+, but not 2030s "Arma Futura" weirdness)

[lucid tulip]

I personally dont mind the very late cold war period. Would be easiest to do a4 in the same timeperiod as reforger since assets are supposed to be reused anways. There can always be bi expansions or cdlcs that move game into more contemporary period.

[brittle herald]

How do i keep the server mods updated? can i remove the version and it will take the most updated one?

[silver quest]

i can't find specific mods in the ingame workshop even when i find it on the web workshop

[twilit junco]

i doubt it, more like ending of 2026

[tidal elk]

Mod its probably hidden due to update 1.0 where modders needed update mod to show mod ingame

[chilly coral]

Does anybody know when mortars are being added, and how they will work?

[spark hound]

Well, they're gonna work like IRL mortars with Azimuth and Elevation

No clue as to when

[terse cloak]

We know how they are going to work with the aiming, but nothing else

[crisp laurel]

does reforger have a load order for mods?

[outer drum]

Hey guys how can i set up so that me and friends on coop Combat Ops can see ourselves on the map? Is there a difficulty menu similar to arma3 or some option to turn on/of map markers for players?

[stray blade]

No

[stray blade]

Not a setting. Check if you find a mod for it

[mint light]

Is anyone able to help me find a server that dosent require me to download 20+ mods some of them taking a long time. I’ve been trying to get a server for an hour and a half and I can’t get one.

Also is anyone aware if I am able to play solo with mods ?

[outer drum]

tnx

[mint light]

I prefer solo games anyways but im perfectly fine playing multiplayer. So if I could play solo with mods that would be great

[slow pagoda]

there isnt really solo gameplay in reforger

[steel yew]

Best advice if you’re on console is just join and walk away and do something for a bit. Sucks I know but hey maybe take care of a chore or get the mail or something while the mods download

[mint light]

Aye I appreciate it bro thank u

[tepid torrent]

I hope mortars will have an array of ammunition types

[magic pebble]

phosphor gas for example.

[tepid torrent]

lol would indeed be interesting to see

but once we do get mortars we need new emplacements that are protected against mortars, eg entrenchments

but i doubt we will ever get dugouts or trenches in reforger

[loud root]

more than likely will just be: HE, flares, smoke. And then you will have people modding in ISIS mortar trucks, and other goofy stuff like mustard gas and sarin.

[tepid torrent]

these were the ammunition types i was hoping for at least

[loud root]

😂

what i will say is that i can guarantee you someone will make a terrorist-mortar thingy whether that is a truck, flatbed, camel we have to wait and see , and with the sarin/mustard gas idea its not too difficult as a concept you just have to use a smoke shell relabel it and give the cloud formed script that damages the player regularly, someone created a radioactive fallout mod in arma 3 with that mechanic. It is feasible

[tepid torrent]

i loved the nukes in Arma 3, but the sub par destruction was always a bit of a turnoff, with reforgers new destruction system on the way i hope the segments from destruction (if there are any) are able to be manipulated by forces such as explosions or blast waves, then we will make reforger nuke 😆

[magic pebble]

can't wait to clear a landing zone in a forest with a tactical nuke

[loud root]

watch your FPS dip below -273

[loud root]

thats why daisy cutters existed in vietnam 😳

[tepid torrent]

for the US nothing is overkill

[loud root]

i mean thats what the daisy cutter did in vietnam it was basically the dad to the MOAB, i would love to see a MOAB in reforger

[tepid torrent]

give those to a server of 64 and you might as well rename the game to deforestation simulator

[loud root]

welcome to the forrest: correction past tense

[quaint copper]

That's cause we're the only country on the face of the earth that can afford to wipe other countries off the face of the earth without any financial difficulty

[loud root]

its for that reason i laugh my ass off when China keeps flexing their knock of J-20's and soon to be developed J-35 i believe (wish version of the F35-c for their type 003 carrier) , i hope to see a really comprehensive ordnance mod for Arma 4 or reforger hopefully

if we have the ability to say for example have functional limpet mines that can be attached to underwater objects, or MICLC for breaching a mine field, that would be awesome as a mod

[lucid tulip]

If you contrast and compare to where china was a few decades earlier, not really. you have to give the devil his due so to speak. Because even those "knockoffs" are major steup up to what china was capable of domestically producing at the end of the cold war circa 1989, never minding pre 1979 ( first economic reforms)

[mint light]

How come everytime I spawn I spawn in the ocean ?

It’s making the game unplayable, haven’t gotten a match all day because of how broken the game is. But it seems fun and I’d like to enjoy it.

It’s for the combat ops missions mostly

[digital crane]

you probably have some mods downloaded that cause that

[barren solstice]

any news on a new update

[half locust]

if there were, there would be posted in #announcements

[terse cloak]

#reforger_experimental message

[mint light]

So should I just uninstall and reinstall mods

[thorn furnace]

Are 3D animated fuel nozzles still planned? Or did BI realize it's a massive waste of time with so many other features to work on?

[loud root]

more than likely not going to happen with reforger, if there is a fancy jets dlc with arma 4 in like 6 years then maybe 😂

[stable topaz]

Is there something wrong with the Light Towers?
LightTower_01 seems fine, LightTower_02 has the bulbs lit but doesn't cast any light.

[humble ferry]

did anyone know how i can set the respawn time, thats after an server reboot the time is the same?
could someone help us to switch off the compass and operate the Arsenal Mod correctly? 😄 we are relatively new to Arma Server tinkering

[slow pagoda]

please pick 1 channel to post and clear the rest

[magic pebble]

You will need a mod for it. Changing it via GM, will always reset when the match end.

[humble ferry]

hey Rusty, can i dm u?

[magic pebble]

You can. (This isn't me consenting to get a dick pic in the dm)

[mint light]

Hey quick question for anyone

How do use one of my modded loadouts in one of the combat ops

I’m currently playing combat ops Everon but I was just curious if I can use my modded things in any of them

If so how do I spawn them in?

Or if I’m doing a mode w game master how do I spawn my modded guns

[wheat forge]

Where I can do pve

[loud root]

i cant give a server name because of the no advertising rule that this server runs, but if you look on the server browser you will found a couple

type in PvE on the server browser it will show up with a couple

[magic pebble]

You can name servers with no problems.

[loud root]

really, i saw other people get warnings for that

or maybe its if the server is attached to a community

[magic pebble]

they either do it a lot, or posted discord link, when they are supoposed to be posted in the specific channel

[loud root]

gotcha

[ancient rapids]

How do I set a rank lock for anything higher than sgt in conflict mode with the new way to spawn vehicles. Is that code locked away in the engine or can it be modded?

[candid echo]

How do i see my crash log ?

[clear sparrow]

@ancient rapids

What’s the purpose of this mod? Is it to help server performance or just like just to remove the Living Quarters

[ancient rapids]

Its an add on to my scenario really. I removed it, but some people wanted it back in for their servers. So I just added it back in for others and made this mod for my servers. I dont want players on my pve servers to be able to build them and spawn ai. (Cuz theyre pretty much useless if you dont want that ability anyways)

[clear sparrow]

Alright cool thx

[fervent drift]

hi guys,
I´m searching for a modder, for basic server settings. Like arsenal configs, maybe map configs and server settings.
Maybe it is not the basic stuff, but I don´t now much about arma reforger configs.

My knowledge is limited, I just set up an server, with runing mods but I need one with knowledge to set up the rest of it. It runs very well, but to personalize it, I need a helping hand.

It is a privat community based project.
So if you have time or the passion to help to explain, or maybe set up the thinks.
(no modding like usual, arsenalconfigs and some server settings to save the start settings)
Send me a DM and we jump in a voice to talk.
It would be very nice. Thanks a lot and sry for my english.

[loud root]

there is a creator request channel i believe, where you can list your jobs might be easier

#creators_recruiting

[fervent drift]

oh very nice, thanks for the info. I´m new on this DC, so its very complex. thanks a lot Almond.

[loud root]

hope this helps 👍

[fervent drift]

100% thanks

[loud root]

are you asking about creating a specific game mode for your community or just getting your server up and running?

[fervent drift]

only to get it up running, at this point it runs very well, but we want to set up the basics. like I only want this weapon in the arsenal, only this vehicle, maybe set up the supply amount. you know only basic stuff.

I know you have to do a specific arsenal config, to set up the selection. But we don´t know how to do this.

We have a picture about it, but we have no knowledge.

[loud root]

there is a tutorial by this guy which explains all of this in depth, its around 40 mins ill pop the link here

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNL_oFhlmLU&list=PLQe5szo6MbIxvkqV31H5rEvlYgAHHBpXK

this is the one, it also talks about adjusting server settings im pretty sure

this will make you very proficient with missions and server config if you are willing to take the time to watch it and try to apply it 👌

[fervent drift]

Thanks for the Help Very nice.

[loud root]

you can also look on the bohemia interactive wiki for sever setup, also there are github pages for specific server side scripts if you want to implement them, it might take some digging to find exactly what you want 🫡

[sand creek]

how can u report a bot

someone from ur server is sending out spam

[slow pagoda]

dm Picture and user ID to a moderator

[sand creek]

sweet ty

[elfin ledge]

Do you happen to have this list already or partially done? just to check

[balmy bluff]

@fossil meadow did you fix you netcode in next update? or damage to armored vehicles by explosion will still not work?

[cerulean token]

Are radio backpacks still limited to 2 globally or is it literally 1 per squad; so essentially infinite now ?

[winter zephyr]

There is a limit to the number of groups, I think.

But definitely one deployed radio per group right now.

[terse cloak]

yeah there is a limit to groups but its a lot

[ancient rapids]

So I take it recreating the Soviet/ Afghan war in a scenario is forbidden? Game's time frame is perfect for this... O.o

[magic pebble]

squad had a hamas v israel mod like a week after the war started

[spark hound]

Pretty sure it's just current warfare

[loud root]

so does arma 3 its Hamas vs Israel anti stasi 😭

[ancient rapids]

Thanks guys but I'll wait for Mario's answer on this one just to be sure.

[loud root]

what is the arma reforger terrain limit?

because i assume its not infinite

[topaz whale]

Currently around 34x34km: https://docs.google.com/document/d/19VrUpAId4UGjykBw1rTP375Q9l2udNIEHPhTzqEgrSc/edit#heading=h.soqfebd4ynxa

[loud root]

for some reason when i created a 16km by 16km terrain my sat map worked fine, and so did the height map, but there was an invisible barrier preventing the camera from moving beyond a certain point 😟 , idk what caused it

[topaz whale]

Try restarting Reforger Tools and re-opening. That normally fixes it

[loud root]

okay thanks 👍

[loud root]

also this is realluy handy thank you i will definitely read this

[topaz whale]

No worries. Make sure to check out #enfusion_terrain and post any terrain related questions there. You're more likely to get answers there.

[loud root]

i have every other enfusion channel except that one silly me 😂

[lucid tulip]

Aparently people from the anglosphere just aren't interested playing as soviets vs afghans.

[lucid tulip]

Apart from modern warfare, vietnam era modded servers seem pretty popular. Tbh I think vietnam war experience is just one of those being ingrained into American pop culture, so it ends up having its following in reforger in spite of it not being modern warfare.

[stray blade]

1 planted radio per squad. You can no longer spawn on undeployed radio.
Standard 10 tickets, then it can be tossed

[cerulean token]

gotcha

[silver quest]

Is there a camofaces mod for reforger?

[tepid torrent]

both factions were in vanilla PR before this bigger conflict

[spark hound]

Well it is modern warfare if you really think about it

[tepid torrent]

considering the grand scale of things you are right, Arma Romeforger⚔️

[spark hound]

Well I mean we had advanced jet fighters, fully automatic rifles with plastic furniture, proximity munitions, computers were quickly getting smaller, Vietnam was rather modern.

[quaint copper]

Proximity munitions were used in ww1 too

[spark hound]

WW2

[quaint copper]

1
The early Large Flak cannons used timed fuses

The ones that directly evolved into the Flak 88s such as the 16 and 38

[spark hound]

Not proper proximity ammo

I'm talking about the radar detonation munitions

[tepid torrent]

back a century ago we primarily fired solid hunks of metal at each other, now we have ammunition that has shape charges discarding sabot, the list goes on, innovation is great

[spark hound]

Yes it is

[tepid torrent]

we even used to use horses not that long ago!

[spark hound]

WW2

Germans used so many horses

[tepid torrent]

yep, but soon after cars just were so much cooler for a proffesional military

[quaint copper]

Germans primarily used horses for rearline stuff, to save on Fuel for the mass amounts of automobiles and halftracks on the front

They used alot of horses, but they used alot more trucks, armored cars, and tanks

What germany lacked in firepower and manpower, they made up for in smart decisions on the Tactical level

Strategic, not so much, but the fact Germany was outnumbered 2 to 1 and was outgunned severely, and still managed to topple 3 countries in 4 months, proves why those tactics are still used by modern militaries today

[tepid torrent]

there are the location of camps not to far from where i live where Aussie soldiers would bring "brumbies" (wild horses), break them in and train them for use in WW1 & WW2

[quaint copper]

WW2 was the start of Modern warfare

[spark hound]

Very early but yes

[quaint copper]

Because Todays combat is just ww2 combat but everything is bigger
Bigger magazines, bigger front lines, and bigger munitions

[tepid torrent]

WW2 saw major advancements in radar, invention of sonar i think, first night vision optic, the list goes on

[spark hound]

Sonar was WW1 I think

[tepid torrent]

it was indeed, which i find even more impressive

[lucid tulip]

pretty ancient compared to 21st century

[tepid torrent]

crazy how just a couple of decades ago people were running around jungles with heavy radio backpacs that handled logic with vacuum tubes!

[spark hound]

It was 50 years ago

[lucid tulip]

50 years is forever ago with the pace of technological change

[spark hound]

True, but it was still modern era.

Early but still modern.

[lucid tulip]

🙄 oh boy here we go with semantics and splitting hairs

I think you know what i meant.

[spark hound]

I just think people ignore what Vietnam was in the big picture

[lucid tulip]

americas first forever war?

[spark hound]

The first Modern War

[tepid torrent]

i think both of you are right, when in comparison to the rest of history it really wasnt that long ago, but considering the rate of scientific advancement has been exponential i do also agree that it was forever ago

[tepid torrent]

first guerilla war, one without frontlines, and they got fucked hard, but hey lessons learned and soem good movies came out of it

[lucid tulip]

vietnam was hybrid tbh. It was a mostly guerilal war but it included some epic clashes between conventional militaries( albiet underequiped relative to US armed forces)

[spark hound]

A proto-Afghan

[lucid tulip]

I mean the north vietnamese army had clashes with US armed forces during vietnam, not to mention a air (bombing) campaign that involved going through serious air defense network, and contending with a small airforce. Not something that the US really had to deal with in Afghanistan

where there was total air supremacy.

[spark hound]

True, true. I suppose Iraq would be closer, groundwise

[craggy pond]

i just downloaded reforger for the firt time on pc and im trying to downlod a mod but it says i dont have enough storge for it when i do how do i fix this

[tepid torrent]

you must find more storage

[craggy pond]

bruh i got 1.51T free

[flat sentinel]

Can anyone point me a good/decent Optimal Graphic Settings guide/video? Or any suggestions for the optimal settings?

[silver quest]

Is there a remote control c4 mod?

[loud root]

you might have to make that, i dont believe there is

double check the refoger mod workshop is my best advice to see any new additions 👍

[silver quest]

🤯🤯🤯🤯

[loud root]

C4 is relatively easy to create compared to making a helicopter 😂

[silver quest]

You never know, it might be really hard

[loud root]

😐 , you can just use a grenade explosion in the animator upscale it, and then create a script for remote detonation and change the damage model of the 'grenade'

compared to animating a computer display in a huey, then adding functioning components, textures, hit boxes etc. Way easier

granted if you are new to modding that is 100+ hours to learn everything just for one block of C4

[stable topaz]

Yeah I'm surprised no one's made a regular ol' satchel charge yet. Kind of a staple of OFP/Arma.

[loud root]

true, i think its because the ordinance side of things is being developed by BI, especially with mortars etc, so i think most modders are waiting for those assets to drop and see if there are any changes to damage models etc

[silver quest]

does reforger have surround sound capabilities

[stable topaz]

Could be. Used to be such a vital tool though. "Satchel the SCUD missile launcher, satchel the parked Hinds, satchel the Shilka emplacement, etc."

[silver quest]

idk how the fuck to script

[winter zephyr]

Note that planted explosive are on the roadmap.

[scarlet valve]

They’re a no go I asked Mario before we made our stuff so we followed arma 3 and did x’s

[silver quest]

is there a civillian npc?

[agile seal]

i think there´s a mod that adds a civilian faction, but they just wear civilian clothes and are friendly to everyone

so they dont have special behaviour

[loud root]

you can learn, im currently figuring out blender. It just takes time and patience but the reward of being able to create whatever your heart desires is well worth the time spent to learn it

[timber phoenix]

In the game, do M16s with long and short barrels have any differences in tactical and technical characteristics? bullet speed, etc.

[terse cloak]

In real life yeah

I think in game too but not sure

I havent used it a lot but i think i have noticed a difference on range

[loud root]

i mean im sure you could add in extra features using a bit of scripting to change the performance of the short barrelled vs long barreled M16

[foggy ridge]

actually cannot adjust this from script

however, the m16a2 carbine has a muzzle velocity 93% that of the m16a2 in the game, so there is some difference in the weapon

[haughty robin]

yes, the shorter collider also means you can use it in closer proximity to walls/doors, and it weighs less

I vaguely remember it being neglibly less accurate but I haven't looked it up in workbench recently and don't have it in front of me

[quaint cargo]

Is there any plans for bullets to be affected by wind?

[haughty robin]

Oh and of course it go full auto

[gleaming holly]

They already are, set the wind to full speed in any cardinal direction and fire tracers into the sky

[quaint cargo]

Really? Very interesting

[silver quest]

Send?

[wraith hatch]

Where are we at with future updates? Any roadmaps at the moment?

[tranquil jasper]

we don't exactly know when future updates are, but based on remembering kinda when they come out, it's in kind of a schedule of "every 3 months, new thing comes out." this probably isn't the greatest explanation, but I'm sure someone else will come up with something better. also here's the link to the roadmap https://reforger.armaplatform.com/roadmap

[wraith hatch]

All good. Thanks for the info.

[tranquil jasper]

your welcome

oh it's also good to remember that most updates come out on Thursdays but there are some outliers

[verbal mesa]

CEO getting us hype then klamacz is posting cryptic stuff in Reforger experimentak

[wraith hatch]

All good. Huge Arma fan so whatever they roll with I'm on board

[verbal mesa]

Yup same

[tranquil jasper]

ohhhhhh I think I know what's coming next

hopefully mortars but if it's the LAV and BRDM I'm not complaining either

just saw what klamacz said, it's heli weapons😔

[quaint copper]

Send link

[tranquil jasper]

ok

[verbal mesa]

I thought so too but I really don't consider heli weapons to be game changing

Though that is the thing about marketing..

[tranquil jasper]

they're definitely game changing, I put the 😔 there because I want base game armor for the US

[verbal mesa]

I guess and it is still exciting. Logi runs with attack helicopters are terrifying. I've had the experience with modded helicopters but a vanilla implementation will be so much better

I get excited about every Reforger update. I was even stoked with the water and hiking trails one 😂

I also want base game armour though

[tranquil jasper]

I bet attack helis won't be able to carry much supply, maybe 100 for the armed huey and 125 for the armed mi8

[verbal mesa]

Would be a good balance. Can still likely carry troops though just way more expensive on supplies

[tranquil jasper]

same with transport helis with just an MG on either side, but just a tiny bit less supply than the unarmed one

[tranquil jasper]

nah, most pics of attack hueys I've seen didn't have shit in the back other than ammo

[verbal mesa]

I don't see it being implemented without allowing the empty seats to be sat in

[tranquil jasper]

wdym?

I don't think it'd even have seats in the 1st place yknow

[verbal mesa]

Ohh you think they'll take out the physical seats?

[tranquil jasper]

since transport AND rockets/guns is a bit op

[verbal mesa]

Yea it will be but the supplies would be expensive

[tranquil jasper]

yeah, only 2 seats for gunners on either side. for the attack hueys atleast

[verbal mesa]

Mi8 is so big

[tranquil jasper]

tbh it is called the magic school bus for a reason lol

wait a damn minute

irrelevant to the stuff about helicopters but about the potential update

[topaz whale]

What are you trying to draw attention to here?

[verbal mesa]

Yup there's a lot of possibilities

[tranquil jasper]

look towards the right of the roadmap picture, that's what I think the update could contain

[topaz whale]

Can you be more specific? There are a lot of things on the right of the roadmap picture. And what makes you think those will be the thing?

[verbal mesa]

I cannot wait until recon is actually in the game

[tranquil jasper]

fair, probably not the building destruction but everything else in the right column

[verbal mesa]

Conflict update because of game changer

[tranquil jasper]

or no not everything but most of it

[topaz whale]

Is recon not in the game already?

[topaz whale]

But why those things?

[verbal mesa]

Not really I mean it isn't worth too much. It will be when you don't know where the opponent's bases are

[tranquil jasper]

he said game changer in his tweet, and those things would change conflict significantly

100% player placed FOBs with one preset MOBs would be sick as shit

[topaz whale]

Anything they change is a game changer

[tranquil jasper]

well yeah, obviously

[verbal mesa]

Yea player placed fobs to extend radio comms will be awesome. I think it will still have the main purple points preassigned though to direct combat

But you'll build the smaller points. Doing recon to find the opponent's antenna and assaulting that so they can't capture the point. That's going to be huge for conflict. Yea it's a little more like squad but still different since it's needed for the antenna

[tranquil jasper]

yea, I think to get an enemy FOB on the map you'd have to use the marker system

making recon and other tools of the map incredibly important

recon would also make arty (mortars, etc) important

[verbal mesa]

Yup. It has never really been a big thing in any game. Will be awesome to see

[tranquil jasper]

only game I can think of where recon and arty are important to each other is hell let loose

[sand verge]

how do i build? i'm at the construction supplies zone, but looking at the sign only prompts me to "open" and not start building

[verbal mesa]

Command flag tent has start building. The supplies must be deposited into the storage location. There is one beside the command tent

[sand verge]

ohhh, it's the bulletin board! i see. thanks

[verbal mesa]

Supplies zone is to gather supplies

[sand verge]

hey by the way, what's the living quarters for?

[lucid tulip]

unless it has forward facing miniguns it wont be carrying any ammo in the back except for ammo under the seats for door guns. Bt the real issue IRL was weight. of hanging stores. didnt leave you much room to throw in supplies or people before the thing wouldnt have the power to lift off the ground.

[topaz whale]

It would be nice to have an actual weight system where weight affects performance. Did your squad eat too many MREs before the mission? Too bad this thing can't take off. Did you put some rockets on it with a ton of supplies inside? Ditch some fuel to lighten the load so it can get off the ground.

[lucid tulip]

it really depends on the platform. Uh1H is a much more underpowered relative to say a UH60 and more sensitive to how much weight you can put into it.

my DCS experience flying Uh1H it i could only conclude UH1 is only good for carrying the general , his assistant and some toilet paper rolls😂 ( obviously being hyperbolic, just to make a point). Irrc the absolute max weight for slingloading was 5000 lbs ( on paper) . Wheras even the earliest variant of the blackhawk, the UH60A could handle 8000.

[topaz whale]

And those characteristics should show. I feel like if you strap 16x hellfires to one and throw a full squad in the back that would probably affect it in some way

[lucid tulip]

Uh1h is a "medium" utility lift chopper only in the most liberal interpretation of the word

[lucid tulip]

to an extent it already does. Huey defintley handles worse with full supplies loaded up. but its still not too bad. Problem is there is no way to translate supplies to weight to the pilot.

290 supplies in the chopper tells me nothing. i cant decide then how many soldiers i can still afford to let on before its struggles to lift off the ground

[topaz whale]

Have a bar in the UI. Yellow = Fuel, Green = Supplies, Blue = Troops. Red X if you can't take off... or something similar. I've given this 2 minutes of thought

[lucid tulip]

you can still sorta take off marginally overweight. Max fuel with miniguns or rockets, in the huey with door guns put me at lik 105% of acceptable weight in DCS. its still possible to take off, with Copilot and 2 AI manning the door guns. Its just really going to struggle during the initial liftoff. the thing with choppers that have wheels instead of skids, they are more forigiving for being overweight, because you can simply tilt the rotors with the flight stick downardsto get it to accelerate on the ground and once you have enough momentum pull the stick back to lift off.

[topaz whale]

Yeah and that kind of stuff would be nice. I'm not saying we have to go full DCS here but making people have to choose between supplies, fuel, people, weapons, max altitude, and speed would be a nice feature

[lucid tulip]

yeah and this where bigger choppers will shine, theyl be more forgiving because theyl be able to haul more weight wise. in A4 Ch47 CHinook gonna be the true Truck of the skies

[topaz whale]

CH-53 carrying F-35 but needing to refuel midair here I come

in case you haven't seen it:

[sand verge]

goofiest image i have ever seen

[tranquil jasper]

damn, I knew the ch-53 was big I didn't know it was the same fucking size of a c130

[terse cloak]

You spawn ai and it halves spawn costs

[sand verge]

ah, cool. thanks

[lucid tulip]

not as goofy as playing SOG prarie fire and helos sling loading a m48 patton ( which iIRL not possible even with a CH47)

[verbal mesa]

You guys are giving me ideas though..

[tepid torrent]

i needed to see this

[silver quest]

Nothing goofier than the game series arma

[gaunt orbit]

Ngl I've been looking for a middle eastern country flag patch mod with no success, does anyone know where I could find one (if there is one that I overlooked without noticing)

[quaint cargo]

The field manual would have been a far easier resource to obtain this information and many other pieces of valuable knowledge. Just sayin….

[sand verge]

oh shit i forgot about the field manual lmao

[quaint cargo]

I do as well from time to time. But it’s full of so much valuable game knowledge I would compare it to a game manual of the older days.

Just figured I would raise awareness towards this awesome resource lol. Sorry for disturbing!

[sand verge]

na na na, feel free. it's better if you raise awareness to it

[clever pumice]

How the hell do you build via a construction truck?

[terse cloak]

load supplies in it and look through the back, it should give you an option to build

[clever pumice]

hmm, do you think the push/pull mod interferes with it? I only was able to load and unload supplies

[terse cloak]

could be but its bugged

[clever pumice]

whaddya mean it's bugged?

[terse cloak]

sometimes you cant select the build in a build truck

[clever pumice]

ah joy

thank you!

[terse cloak]

oh yeah, also make sure you are using the construction truck and not the repair one

[clever pumice]

Yeah I was using that one, i'll uninstall the mod and try to remember to fill you in on the results!

To be fair the unfliper mod did also send my buddy into atoms by acceleration from -1 to 230km/hr in under a moment

[gaunt orbit]

Is there a place I can advertise my milsim in the server? Ik there's #looking_for_unit but I wanna know if there's a place I can just advertise my milsim?

[queen oxide]

Will there be a possibility for mod support on PS5 like there is on DayZ?

[signal spruce]

Not sure how DayZ does it exactly, but mod support is the goal.

[signal spruce]

#communities_arma3

[gaunt orbit]

How do I get the bot to advertise my unit?

[signal spruce]

Check the pins. Details in there.

[gaunt orbit]

Alr thank u

[queen oxide]

I'm not sure how they do it, but modders will make mods for DayZ within the game files, and people can download them and add them into the server code of their custom console DayZ server that they rent

[sand verge]

why exactly do the devs not plan to add tracked vehicles? i'm fine with no tanks, but an M113 or a BMP-1 just seems logical for this game to have

[quaint copper]

Tracked physics are hard to do properly

[topaz whale]

Probably for the same reason they don't plan on adding planes; it's a different vehicle type that will require work to get right and they had to draw the line somewhere.

[sand verge]

idk, if this is the inbetween-step to arma 4, i'd have assumed they would make all possible types of vehicles

[tepid torrent]

it really is, i have been trying to implement it in a personal project for a week now

[topaz whale]

Gotta save something so people will buy A4 😄

[sand verge]

damn that makes a lot of sense

smart move by bi lol

[chrome sphinx]

How can I change the mod download location

[faint salmon]

Is there a way to invert mouse vertical controls for helicopter exclusively?

[winter zephyr]

You just have to change the cyclic controls manually.

[lost viper]

Is there support for joystick in the game? Mouse flying makes me sad 😔

[terse cloak]

No

[spark hound]

it's been awhile by staind fades in

[near wigeon]

help, cannot join friends games hosted online or Lan im getting replication connection issue 3 constantly, ive tried turning off firewalls and antivirus and hosting a hamachi, ive even made a reforger dedicated server but keep getting the connection issue, can anyone help?

[tepid torrent]

i had this issue pop up randomly, i think it was something on my side that was issue, you should ask your frind to host the match on his machine instead

[topaz whale]

Port forwarding is a requirement if hosting locally

[tepid torrent]

he does not need to because he is doing VLAN through hamachi, that is why people use it in first place

[fickle barn]

I have a question: can night vision be added to reforger as official content in the future?

[terse cloak]

its not on the roadmap, so probably unlikely

[stable topaz]

Would be cool though, especially for pilots and special forces

[topaz yacht]

Need red flashlights more so

[tepid torrent]

pilots and crew members having NV would be great

or NV scopes and vehicle optics at least

[eager sandal]

No connection to the backend service is getting quite frequent these days. Is it my internet?

[tepid torrent]

your router is innocent until proven guilty

[eager sandal]

I hope it will get sorted soon. Been taking a break and wanting to get back into action.

[old apex]

The game is installed on drive D. When you log into the server, it asks you to download mods, for some reason it downloads the mods to the My games/ Arma Reforger folder on drive C. How to fix it, help

[magic pebble]

ArmaReforgerSteam.exe -addonDownloadDir X:\ARMAMODS

past this in the steam launch options.

Don't forget to change the drive name, and make sure you create the folder first

[old apex]

listen, can you record a video guide please, I ask you, I’m just not very good at this

[magic pebble]

no

[old apex]

I will have to create a folder in any place convenient for me, as I understand it, and then add the launch option in Steam, right?

[magic pebble]

yes

[old apex]

and will it automatically download mods into this pen from the workshop?

[magic pebble]

If you past that command in the launch options, yes it will

[old apex]

ok thanks you

[pastel pier]

Is there a way to turn off the bloom effect in game?

[verbal mesa]

NVGS in vanilla would not be awesome. The night time in Reforger is awesome and would go under appreciated

[terse cloak]

chads dont need no nvg

[loud root]

this ☝️

the northern star exists for a reason, maybe if they added fireflys that would be cool

[cerulean token]

Fireflies already exist

[loud root]

wait really?

ive just never seen them then

😔

[slow pagoda]

northern lights is what you want

[hushed estuary]

What is the "Protection level"

Amount of damage reduced?

[thorn furnace]

Bigger number = more damage reduction.

[hushed estuary]

https://tenor.com/view/100-gif-25608859
I mean is it a flat damage reduction value

[supple wigeon]

Night vision scopes would be pretty cool tho

[foggy ridge]

Some vests have a flat reduction value, some have physics collisions. I've made my more damage mod to make bullets hurt more.

[verbal mesa]

NV scopes would be a good tradeoff

[mental pulsar]

hey guys. it's a bit discouraging when doing mission car disappears when is left for a while. what rules decide about it? are there any tricks to avoid that?

[zinc plaza]

Not sure, but did you try uncheck "Can Be Garbage Collected" over the asset/slot? Just wondering about it.

[verbal mesa]

It's the garbage collector. It does that to keep the server clean

[mental pulsar]

didn't tried that. will check. thanks!

[silver quest]

it it possible to cancel a reload?

[slow pagoda]

Dont think it is

[slow pagoda]

Do you know any game where you can?

and what do you do? you just dropped you mag out?

you pick it up from the ground to put back in

[topaz whale]

I support this new mechanic. Your mag getting dirty is the price you pay for being so indecisive!

[proud thistle]

only if you get a higher chance of your gun jamming with dirty mags! 😄

that'd actually be kindy nifty, give the mags a diferent icon too to differentiate

[slow pagoda]

hmm almost like some BI game does that

well not exactly dirt specifically

but condition

[ancient rapids]

I was going to bring that game up, but I think reload is like the only action you cant cancel lol

[eager sandal]

I think you can kinda cancel it. When on mid reload, go prone, and you cancel the reload. Your weapon should have no mag on it....

Once upon a time you can't even move while reloading...

[winter zephyr]

Yeah, going prone or jumping cancel it. When you press the button again, you should resume from where you left off.

Maybe there are other ways, too.

[tardy rune]

or just inspect weapon and detach the mag

[vagrant lagoon]

the OST of arma reforger where can i find lyrics for it?

[silver quest]

i figured out how to cancel a reload you just melee

middle mouse button

[vital forum]

Anyone getting the error for script mismatch when trying to enter the darkgru open conflict servers? How would I correct this?

[sand verge]

trenches when?

[terse cloak]

they arent planned on roadmap

[topaz whale]

Technically they're already in the game.... but I assume he means digable trenches

[hazy bluff]

Would be cool if you could deform the terrain for that

[topaz whale]

I doubt it's going to happen but we'll see

[lucid tulip]

whats the total quantity of AI that exist in Everon? IE FIA guarding bases and supply depots when a game starts?

[quaint copper]

For Conflict?
It's randomized

There's 259 group spawn positions

The groups are anywhere from 2 to 8 AI
So your absolute minimum is 500 AI and the absolute maximum is over 3000

Averages at around 2k AI

[lucid tulip]

is the maximum with FIA roaming? or with AI spawned from US or soviet bases included?

becuse once FIA in bases and nearby patrols are neutralized generally speaking the only FIA i ever see again are the ones that respawn at supply depots

[quaint copper]

If you include bases, each base can hold 15 AI, I think
There's 27 bases in Everon, so that's another 350 AI ontop of whatever else

If you load up Everon and fly around Conflict in GM, you'll see that the patrols aren't always the same

One match it's a group of 8 looking for a fight
Another match it's a 2 man spotter team with a radio

[lucid tulip]

not that im complaining as im happy that in conflict FIA is mostly just a speed bump to prevent people from insta seizing bases. I like being able to fight opposing team rather then having to deal with FIA all the time

[sand verge]

do you guys have any tips on how to snipe better. i have problems with leading and assuming bullet speed

[tepid torrent]

run over to your enemy ask him politely to stand still, then run back to sniping position, line up target, then shoot, your bound to hit something!

but fr i suggest playing lowest ping servers and train beforehand with the exact rifle and optic you plan on using, then you will be hitting satisfying snipes

[sand verge]

i usually use the SVD. the fact it doesnt have vanilla tracer mags makes it significantly harder for me to compensate

[tepid torrent]

SVD is by far my favorite, while it doesn't have the variable zoom i do love the rangefinder

[sand verge]

rangefinder????

[tepid torrent]

each scope has some great features to make sniping easier

[sand verge]

oh you mean the reticle

[tepid torrent]

thesre is a curve thing you can see, line your target up from feet to head with the rangefinder, the number above this times by 100 is the approximate range, it is quite accurate in my experience

[sand verge]

ohhh i see

[tepid torrent]

beyond marked ranges use the cheverons for the next 100 meter intervals, but by that point you are engaging targets well outside of effective range of the weapon

SVD is 200m - 800m engagments, but it can be used for closer if you remove scope and use irons

by the time you learn how to effectively utilize the scope the need for tracers will be a distant memory

[lucid tulip]

the art 2 also has a rangefinder 😉 its just a less obvious one

[tepid torrent]

yeah you need to use the mills and magnification in coordination with each other, honestly so much more work

[lucid tulip]

it only feels like its more work because BI didnt model the power ring/ballistic cam

in game this adds an extra step of then adjust the zero of the gun

IRL marksmen of the day loved the ART scopes. It made ranging and then engaging targets really easy

#reforger_feedback message

[tepid torrent]

wow, some more great information

[tepid torrent]

do you think BI could impliment this? for realisims sake of course

[lucid tulip]

old publications of FM 23-10 ( sniper training manual) float around online from the era of which m21 was in service. so there is primary source documentation to reference on how the scope should work

[quiet token]

Hello, someone have try the suit mod called "PREFAB OPTIMIZATIONS" and have see something ?
Link to them -> https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/611773E9DBCA20AC-PrefabOptimizations

[slow pagoda]

What do you expect to see?

[quiet token]

An improvement of fps or packet loss i think.
With the Conflict pve mod we have some problem with the VON at some time because they lag and you cant hear properly other people.
And i want to see if this mod suit can help with that or they are completely "placebo".

[jolly citrus]

W.C.S servers use them, fps there stays pretty solid

[void crescent]

are we going to see working mirrors for vehicles like in arma 3 or is that something which the engine can't handle?

[tepid torrent]

yes we will possibly see it in future

[void crescent]

oh really? that's great to hear, it adds a lot to the immersion especially when convoying

[thorn furnace]

You sure about that? I read a lot about mirrors from you on this Discord, but nothing from devs confirming it as a feature.

[tepid torrent]

Watch dev RFI #4

Besides, why wouldn't they add mirrors after having them present in A3, while also having a more performant PIP system

[void crescent]

alright I watched the video and other than "cool applications" there isn't anything conforming mirrors

[verbal mesa]

They were pretty good before implementation too though but talk to one of their devs for a better picture

I really hope they add mirrors. I was going to try and mod it but I'm not sure if you can create the points on vanilla assets

[thorn furnace]

Doesn't even mention mirrors in the RFI. On Series S image quality/resolution and FPS are already lower than desirable; there is no overhead there to add vehicle mirrors, regardless of if PiP is more performant than in A3 or not.

[verbal mesa]

I know some mods added pip and they dogged performance

But that happened in A3 too..

[tepid torrent]

sorry you are right, it does not explicitly say mirrors, but i dont know what else "added PIP functionality" could mean, possibly viewport, which would be great, but mirrors just makes sense

i could have sworn there were some comments when people have brought up reversing trucks, but i will look for those messages

[tepid torrent]

@thorn furnace Two things are very apparent in this image.

1. mirrors have been confirmed by devs, so my comment is backed by evidence
2. my GIMP skills are in dire need of help

[snow fossil]

Hey there havent played in a while, whats next for Reforger? Is electricity grid and environment destruction still on the roadmap?

[terse cloak]

yes

[snow fossil]

Cool do we know any ETA for next update?

[terse cloak]

DHW - defensive helicopter weapons
AU - AKS-74U
B - Bayonets
OBW - Open Bolt Weapons
EC - Explosive Charges
GLW - Gamemaster Linking Waypoints
GCW - Gamemaster Cycle Waypoint
AVD - AI Vehicle Driving
C - Commanding
GG
F - Flares
IP - inventory polishing
RIR
PG - Pilot Gear
G - Gloves
CF - Civilian Faction
CP - Copilot
VU - Vehicle Unflipping
these are coming to the next update

well the frog isnt awake on tuesday or monday but soon apparentally

[spark hound]

Gamemaster Grouping?

[snow fossil]

Wow those are huge for engine. What would be difference between defensive and offensive helicopter weapons? Defensive is machine gun on the side? Also whats RIR, IP and GG?

[quaint copper]

Defensive is weapons for suppressing fire coming from concealment around an LZ

[tepid torrent]

wow, almost a complete list

[terse cloak]

rir idk and gg idk

[quaint copper]

Offensive weapons are for removing the concealment

And everything inside of it

Get the bushes to stop talking vs removing the bushes entirely

[terse cloak]

not this week tho

[quaint copper]

Yeah, probably wont be on Experimental until another week or two

This update will be the best one Reforger has ever gotten, so itll take some time to push out

So cool, this gets closer to Arma 3 functionality. Plus the new stuff. I cannot get into Arma 3 probably ever again, I appreciate Reforger's new stuff.

Mainly audio, animations and lighting. But overall feel is just better. I have 3k hours in Arma 3 and I remember its jankiness so glad most of it is not present in Reforger.

[quaint copper]

Reforger is doing pretty well for itself, two years after release
modding is also starting to pick up for it

Fixed wing Aircraft, more quality Maps like Kunar and Serhiivka, big streamers getting into it making their own mods and servers, etc

[runic plume]

I can't remember, but is it now possible to import heightmaps into Reforger?

[timber phoenix]

No suppressors

[tepid torrent]

it has always been possible i think

[eager sandal]

What happen to gun tucks in when you are too close to obstacle like trees or walls? Pre-release version

[tepid torrent]

yeah i noticed it hasnt been as good lately

[eager sandal]

At least you can't shoot through walls/doors like this

Funnily, I alt tab back in-game my character properly tuck in his rifle... 🤔

[tepid torrent]

even then, it looks unnatural and still clips slightly

maybe devs improve this later, it probably isnt top priority

[eager sandal]

True, just that haven't seen it happen anymore...

[novel finch]

OBW - Open Bolt Weapons what is that ?, sorry english its not my first language

[thorn furnace]

Happy to proven wrong, but it doesn't change the fact that Series S would really struggle to support mirrors, so not getting my hopes up. I would prefer BI make plans a little too amibitious than not trying at all.

[terse cloak]

a gun that shoots as soon as the round hits the barrel, so the bolt is open.

[winter pollen]

Isn’t that just a grease gun?

[tepid torrent]

i do agree that if it does happen to be knocked back it will be for this exact reason, although they should 100% give it a try 😢

[terse cloak]

grease gun is open bolt

[tepid torrent]

a lot of SMG weapons run off this principal, MG as well

[winter pollen]

Could RIR have anything to do with infrared?

[terse cloak]

klamac said all is are invs

[winter pollen]

?

[terse cloak]

in the list, all the i's are inv's so for example ip was inventory polishing

[tepid torrent]

IR functionality will most likely come in A4

[winter pollen]

Oh, I didn’t understand as you didn’t use an apostrophe.

I wonder how a civilian faction would work, people love to use guns.

[novel finch]

how did you corfirm that ?

[terse cloak]

i smoked grass

[winter pollen]

Imagine a battlefield 1 type bayonet charge.

[loud root]

my money is on a SOG type bayonet + charge

[past kayak]

This old bug is STILL in the new engine build?! Jeez i dont think ive seen another modern shooter with this problem -whats with the collision checks? I hope the units still dont ghost and occupy the exact same space as the Armas before

[fossil condor]

It's arma what do you expect

[past kayak]

progress from early 2000's level bugs thats for sure.

[jolly citrus]

huh... a lot of games suffer from this

COD, Hunt, CS2

[past kayak]

Havent played tho -do they also have the body within body no collision bug?

[jolly citrus]

it depends what you mean by that...

[winter pollen]

Does anyone know of a mod with hazmat gear or something close to it, not just the mask but a suit.

Or do I have to wait for the good mods to get pumped out this summer.

[past kayak]

Meaning 2 or more units occupying the exact same place thereby merging into octopus with 4+ flailing arms. Most games I play have units just bump off each other but Arma has always had this problem

[wispy gazelle]

Am I being stupid or is there no way to be able to play coop, as in just host it from my console, or do you have to purchase a server

[terse cloak]

you cant host through xbox, but you gotta rent a server

[verbal mesa]

You can't? You can still port forward for Xbox can you not?

[slow pagoda]

xbox dont have hosting option

[verbal mesa]

Oh damn

[cursive ibex]

I just downloaded Arma Reforger on my PC today and when I go to "Official, Community And/Or All" server listings, there is only ONE that can be found. Doe anybody know if I have to manually join servers or if random ones will pop up automatically?

[drowsy geode]

you may have installed the experimental version of the game instead of stable

[cursive ibex]

Where can I find the stable version? For context, the ONLY server shown under "All" is a "Public Experimental" server

@drowsy geode Pretty sure you nailed that one, I just saw another version of Arma in my steam library. Thanks lol

[charred plank]

So it seems almost every modded server uses RHS, however when ever i try to use it the US vehicles don't show up in the vehicle inventory to order. What gives? I have unintalled all mods and tried only RHS but to no avail. Anyone know if this is supposed to be this way and need other mods with it or is it user error aka me.

[swift basalt]

Dumb question but, MG/bipod users in general, how are you making use of MGs with how foliage is a lot more aggressive in Reforger? Besides only setting up on roads and rocks that is. I swear I'll go to engage something, prone out and bipod to be met with "Ah yes, this grass is grass."

[terse cloak]

@minor acorn says its a skill issue

i have this same issue, everywhere too high grass, only woods have low grass

[minor acorn]

Try using the RPK there it should be high enough to put you above the grass height

[terse cloak]

what if the rpk is too underpowered due to hitreg and server performance and cartridge

[swift basalt]

What about if I am a filthy capitalist operating an m60 or m249? blind fire through the grass at the general direction I remember there had been contact? lmao

[tepid torrent]

then this would happen, moments before you are jumped by a group of 100 mag, rpk, rpg wielding soviet phsycho's that overwhelm your position

[minor acorn]

Tough luck I suppose. Try looking for better spots, sometimes just small changes in terrain can do a big difference as far as these are considered. You can also sometimes flatten the grass a little bit by crawling forward and back.

[terse cloak]

but it goes up

[minor acorn]

it does yes

[terse cloak]

Have dynamic grass

Thats one thing other games do better. This grass is too high everywhere

[lunar wedge]

This has been asked by me and others in Reforger_multiplayer and Reforger_servers already. With no response.

But why are the Australian servers down? They have been gone since Saturday.
Are they going to come back up?

I know we only have a small playerbase but there are a lot of regulars and we just started getting some full pop servers. Seems like a great way to kill a community by taking servers down without saying anything.

[terse cloak]

They said they had infrastructure issues on us so could be same for aus

[minor acorn]

Also could you be a bit more specific? Most of the time it work well for me. The bipod props me up just on the line with tip of the grass.

[tepid torrent]

what is dynamic grass?

[terse cloak]

A word i created, instead of one grass type on lets say on the side of the road, the height and density can be changed

[foggy ridge]

it moves around

[tepid torrent]

i think that grass already has varying height, but yes it is quite tall, as it should be, I wouldn't complain if it was a little shorter though

[foggy ridge]

procedural grass destruction, lawnmower no longer a prop

[terse cloak]

Yeah but there needs to be more of varying heights, this is just too much

Cuz think, grass is high, i cant see shit but ivan 200m can see me perfectly

[tepid torrent]

if you cant beat them, join them

[minor acorn]

idk, but these seem perfectly usable for me.

[tepid torrent]

agreed, this is fair

[minor acorn]

Like, don't lay down in a wheatfield or tall grass and expect to be able to engage from prone

[tepid torrent]

the only real problem with these situations is if your opponent went gamermode and turned down grass to minimum

[minor acorn]

Not much deployment can do about that one

[tepid torrent]

i would like grass to be destroyed in the event of explosions though

[foggy ridge]

why have tall grass in this game at all until concealment is a thing? 99% of the time being anywhere near tall grass is a disadvantage

[tepid torrent]

fire would also be nice, i mean A3 RF dlc added wild fires, if it were to be for reforger i wouldnt mind a scaled down version that doesnt set the whole world on fire

[tepid torrent]

honestly, fair, distant concealment is needed

[foggy ridge]

especially for new players, since experienced professional gamers like us know that grass is a trap in any game with such view distance

[minor acorn]

So are buildings and bushes. Like grass isn't the only problem here,

[foggy ridge]

bushes work against most players and work extremely well against AI, buildings work against players but dont work against AI

when you have a pip optic you can see from the bush outward because the camera near plane prevents rendering the leaves

[minor acorn]

Then you still have the legs and arms sticking out like a sore thumb. Either way, doesn't matter. Nothing I can do about it even if I wanted to.

[tepid torrent]

the only problem with distant buildings is interior shadows, which isnt too bad

[minor acorn]

I shouldn't be able to clearly see interior of a building from ~400m

[tepid torrent]

is that a hint? at something to come?

[minor acorn]

no

[tepid torrent]

darn, missed opportunity, but really you folks have outdone yourselves on the games graphics

but distant grass would be the cherry on top

[foggy ridge]

where's the sore thumb?

a lot of movement will probably give you away tho

not rendering the leaves close to the camera is a good mechanic tho

[tepid torrent]

at a distance people can be spotted in bushes easily, BUT this is only because the bottom of the bushes are quite visible and would otherwise be covered by grass, hence circling back to the grass issue

[foggy ridge]

oh ok I want to believe, I will try with a longer distance

[terse cloak]

ok so i was overexxagurating the grass problem, but some parts of the map the grass is too high.

[tepid torrent]

like the beach 😏

[foggy ridge]

hows this lol

found it on max zoom!! you are right

ok so bushes are great against AI but not great against players (with very far distance)

[terse cloak]

this grass i hate

[tepid torrent]

the everonians dont have lawnmowers

let alone a council that would pay someone to mow the road edges

[foggy ridge]

so there is great advantage to running the game on low settings

[terse cloak]

they must have some money here

[tepid torrent]

that is the work of sheep or cows

[terse cloak]

but sheeps graze sides of the streets too

[foggy ridge]

we have huge piles of manure but no livestock

[tepid torrent]

it really sticks out because of contrasting colors, if they had a shadow overlay where center of bushes were darker a bit like an AO map, that would go a long way

[foggy ridge]

just dont render hands lol

[minor acorn]

What else is new? Did you know that you can turn off distant shadows?

[tepid torrent]

lol, do a full server of apes fighting eachother classify as livestock?

[tepid torrent]

honestly though it runs so well it would be criminal to do so

[minor acorn]

I mean, I play with max grass distance, I don't care. People don't lay down anyways. The biggest problem with it for me is that AI can see through it.

[foggy ridge]

thats where bushes come in, free invisibility from AI

I think the recent patches improved this though, feels like they are not always fully concealing

[tepid torrent]

distant shadows and grass have such a miniscule impact on performance i keep them on ultra, i know some people are extremely competitive and disable them and gamma boost, but it would just take the fun out of it

[foggy ridge]

you have fun in pvp?

[tepid torrent]

yes, indeed i do

[unborn torrent]

Do you know how to make signs with like photos on them say for peoples milsims?

I wanna learn how to for I can make some for my milsim

[lunar wedge]

I actually tested this once and found the soviet pajama suit worked pretty good with the scrim helmet. Actually camouflaged well in a bush from about 600m away.

[winter zephyr]

Bushes are my typical hiding places when sneaking around players. If I don't shoot, I'm basically never found when hiding in a bush.

[winter pollen]

Could GG maybe be Gamemaster GUI?

[foggy ridge]

Game Game

[ancient rapids]

*good game

[charred plank]

Good day all! Question, do mods need to be put in a specific order for them to work as intended, such as games like fallout and elder scrolls? or does load order not apply in this game?

[foggy ridge]

yesn't

[charred plank]

Gotta love those answers haha by the way, I use pretty much everyone of your mods, they rock. now only if i could get everything else to work properly

I see so many familiar names (because I browse the mods pretty much daily) its nice to see an active, mostly friendly community

Any advice for a new to Arma (Milsim) player?

[terse cloak]

do the tutorial, read field guide, watch the recourse 1 and 3 video on the arma platform youtube

[charred plank]

I've read the field guide, and have done the in game tutorial, but didn't know about the recourse video. I will check those out now. Also, I'm currently host a server on xgaming servers. Are some server hosts better than others? I see that Bacon has a hosting site. Is his the best or does it really matter?

[terse cloak]

idk about the servers.

[charred plank]

Does anyone that uses the mod, RHS Status Quo, know if the US vehicles are supposed to be missing? Not sure if thats intentional or a bug? Maybe I'm supposed to add the vehicles that I want there myself?

[feral hinge]

RHS hasn't made US vehicles yet

[charred plank]

Totally makes sense, everything else is so good, I was thinking it had to be on purpose lol thank you for answering that for me.

[verbal mesa]

From klamacz:

(I shouldn't be coming here in the evening)

Ok, so the correct guess today was:

• Refactored Inventory Replication - lowers Network Traffic, will help with Player Count, uses Replication Layers.

Now, only one thing remaining from original list - GG. I will be honest with you, most of devs called it GIGO, but I don't have time to type that much.
I should also tell you that those are not all the features coming. So just to spice your day a bit more here is one more feature for next update:

• RWO

(and now I will disappear, good night folks)

[tepid torrent]

"help with player count" - that is all i needed to hear to get excited, thank you sir

[loud root]

if i want to limit the play area of my terrain im building is that done through game master or the world editor?

i cant find much about it online or in guides

[gentle kelp]

question, when will i be able to get a pint at the beer taps?

[ancient rapids]

cool, whats your source?

[quaint copper]

The lead developer of the game, Klamacz

[shut cosmos]

#reforger_experimental message

[verbal mesa]

He is posted every day hints and if we correctly guessed in the experimental channel.

[ancient rapids]

Thanks!

[ancient rapids]

Thanks, yes I know who he is, but I was asking for a citation for proof he actually said that.

[ancient rapids]

How long has that been going on? That's a first!

[verbal mesa]

For a week or so

[dim quiver]

ok so a server I'm in is trying to get a game server up and running through gtxgaming, and he (hes on xbox) doesn't know how to mod it. can someone help?

he has access to a laptop

[winter zephyr]

Probably have him ask in #reforger_servers

[dim quiver]

K

[charred plank]

I host a server, and play on xbox as well. Feel free to PM me and I can try to help you guys out

[eager sandal]

Seems like they are Reworking Weapon Obstruction on the next update... https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1025131938207498422/1238431189921042462/image.png?ex=663f426c&is=663df0ec&hm=b52a1c13fbcd470cc8307e671f66032ffcb860d18050af7ae5094ea119fcb1f7&

[elfin ledge]

Wait games actually have that? Im not sure if all modern games have it

[chrome sphinx]

Not really

[tepid torrent]

farcry has a good implimentation of this

[past kayak]

What weapon raising at walls? You’ve never seen this?

[elfin ledge]

No tbh

[terse cloak]

tarkov, dayz

[primal panther]

Insurgency sandstorm has a good system for it
A bunch of A3 mods did it
What’s shown in that picture is how reforger used to be, but one of the last few big updates fucked it up

But hopefully reworked means we’re getting a more in depth system or at least in some ways improved version of what we had originally

[magic pebble]

iirc dayz is the only one that you can push players away if they get close to you, and you can't shoot your gun

in tarko, if you have a long gun and someone run into you, you pitch the gun down, and are basically defenseless

[primal panther]

Welp reforger has propped melee (and soon enough bayonets) for that

[cerulean token]

Does not stagger/push people away though

[primal panther]

There’s an animation so you can’t just shoot through it I believe

[earnest echo]

Read the new info of the dev blog for the future experimental update but still no info of suppressors, what are they waiting for them?

[topaz whale]

To finish the things currently going into the patch and maybe even things going into the next patch

[round storm]

hey when are they gonna fix the giant houses and green soldiers in gamemaster

oh nevermind i found the problem

[worthy hawk]

hey arma reforger running my temp to 83c and max load 99 is that normal?

[primal panther]

Nope
Considering this is arma that’s hella low

[drowsy geode]

max load on gpu in reforger is pretty normal

[eager sandal]

GPU? 83C and 99% load is normal. Mine RX5700XT run at 90C 99% load. If I manually tweak fan curve, Maybe I'll get around 76-80C, but it get loud, so I don't do it anymore.

[primal panther]

What do the grayed out plus signs mean?

Nvm it’s UI elements 😂

[lunar wedge]

Oh man, had me worried for a second 😆

[primal panther]

Same

[tepid torrent]

lol same wtf 🤣

[foggy ridge]

Whats a legend

[shut musk]

did some 1 forget to pay certificate or license fees?

[barren solstice]

will pc ever get hotas support

[loud root]

reforger idk, but arma 4 highly likely

[barren solstice]

sad

[loud root]

for all i know they might implement it at some point

[terse cloak]

I mean its not that high of priority, rather have them fix game then bring hotas, its only a discomfort for a minority to not use hotas

[eager sandal]

What about trackIR? Is it supported?

[terse cloak]

They said on twitter they will make an annoucment when it gets supported

[eager sandal]

Alright thank you 😁

[agile seal]

anyone knows if we´ll get more medical items like those already existing in files?

[primal panther]

Nothing on the roadmap so if we do it’ll be a suprise

[cerulean token]

Any news about the other unconscious animations beeing added ? (#1128323045912752208 message) It was said a while ago that they were supposed to be in the game, but still not added yet. Pleeeeease. 😄

[gaunt lark]

Is there a way to load a mod preset when hosting a local server so I don't need to manually add every single mod every time I start it?

[random vessel]

Does someone know how to fix this bug?

[lunar wedge]

Whats the bug?

[random vessel]

If you look in the inv it has a vkpo top, but if i put any vest on with a top from the GREYZONE mod with a vest from base game or any mod it makes the top do that

it changes it to that soviet camo one

[eager sandal]

Probably better to ask the author(s) of the mods. Maybe they conflict each other.

[lunar wedge]

Yeah mod issue man. Not really a game bug

[random vessel]

alr thank you

[gaunt lark]

Is there any way to enable single player saving/loading for modded scenarios?

[lunar wedge]

Unfortunately no. Maybe look for a mod, there is one for server savings but not sure about singleplayer.

[gaunt lark]

that's unfortunate but understandable

I am still trying to figure out if it's possible to save locally hosted server mod presets, so you don't need to add every single mod every time

[limpid wharf]

You can save a mod preset in the main menu but idk if that’ll help you

[brittle herald]

Anyone knows if we getting an option to set a nickname? like the arma 3 profile or smth

[swift basalt]

is there a way to direct the searchlight on the UH-1 around?

[drowsy geode]

no

[shut musk]

Seem like after 5 hours of downtime yesterday, same issue is occurring today!

oh, seems back up again

[tepid torrent]

when we get helicopter weapons we could possibly get an undermounted searchlight

[eager sandal]

Probably comes with copilot too...

[swift basalt]

We already have a searchlight technically, it's just fixed in a useless downward position, while the soviet helicopter has a light fixed forward and useful

[drowsy geode]

controllable searchlight on the UAZ 452 would also be great.

[lyric parrot]

Is there a way to get a BTR in arma reforger combat ops?

[terse cloak]

no unless there is a destroy mission if i remember

[lyric parrot]

There is a destroy mission, all I can think of is if we damage it not fully destroy it

[terse cloak]

just kill crew and grab it, but its not like youll need it really

[lyric parrot]

Makes it fun lol

I’m playing the RHS missions, I thought they would let us spawn cars in or something but we can’t.

[terse cloak]

ur rebels, towns have cars

[lyric parrot]

It’s telling us to support an attack how do we complete this mission in the combat ops?

[terse cloak]

Go kill the russians there

[lyric parrot]

All of them?

[terse cloak]

yea

[lyric parrot]

It’s said in the description of the mission to go to point Michal.

[topaz whale]

There is a position near by those where you can link up with other FIA fighters but you don't have to

[chrome sphinx]

Look at the roadmap

[tepid torrent]

no, for now

[terse cloak]

it does

[tepid torrent]

yes it does

[chrome sphinx]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/roadmap

[cerulean token]

🙏

[quaint copper]

There's at least 5 unconscious animations in game rn, including 2 for Vehicle passengers

[cerulean token]

But not the ones for lying on your right and left side, and on your belly. Appearently they were supposed to be in already,

#reforger_experimental message

[tepid torrent]

i like what you said earlier about adding some variations to the animation, bc it is very easy to spot a downed person

hopefully it comes at some later date, along with dragging

[ancient rapids]

I believe my scenario may be causing some packet loss. What kind of things (modding wise) can cause packet loss in a scenario?

[winter zephyr]

I feel like, logically, the only way that could be possible would be because of network saturation from a lot of data being replicated. Unless if there is a bug that is getting triggered.

Or your scenario's traffic tripping QoS stuff in networking equipment and such?

[ancient rapids]

I was thinking it could be my provider, but I saw someone else also using my scenario report the same.

I do have a lot more objectives than vanilla Everon conflict does

It also seems to come and go, so I was thinking maybe there's a bug in my scripting?

[cinder crater]

Anyone know why whenever I aim into a turret, I can't seem to unaim from it unless I get out of the seat?

[grim iris]

Has anyone come across any horror/scary/thriller mods/props etc?

[chilly coral]

Does anyone know If ARMA 4 will be on console, I assume it will be but I was wondering if anyone has any information

[terse cloak]

Not known

[magic pebble]

BI doesn't hate money, so we can safely assume it will be on console

[ancient rapids]

Bump

[zinc plaza]

From the things listed on the official Roadmap: no!

[tepid torrent]

not necessarily, it is quite possible that console has limited development speed and difficulty, time is money and given all the extra workarounds required for consoles maybe BI just leaves reforger as a console game and does A4 on pc

[magic pebble]

From the image Marek posted on Twitter a while ago Xbox players are 80% of the player base, so five times the sales.
I just can't think of anything so hard that it will stop them from wanting five times the sales of pc

[tepid torrent]

hopefully once the rest of the features come to the game more pc players come back to even this out, but you are right from sales xbox is looking much more lucrative

[winter zephyr]

It would be silly to put all this effort into good console and controller support only to ignore consoles in the next (and much bigger) entry to the series.

[tepid torrent]

true, i just hope it isnt a big limiting factor to A4 quality, content, and features

[lucid tulip]

Maybe the pc sales of reforger are low because people didn't like the state of ea release on day 1, and either opted out or refunded, and are willing to wait for a4. Pc players can fall back on arma 3 consoles players can't. I mean even reforgers peak numbers still don't exceed current low point arma 3 players.

[winter zephyr]

It is almost certainly a factor. Still, there are more console players in the world than PC players.

[magic pebble]

iirc in the image marek posted,, it was ~25k xbox players, and ~5k pc players. That was peak though. Before that, they were ~8k xbox and ~3k pc.

That is a lot of money to leave on the table if they decide to go pc only.

[lucid tulip]

I'm sure it will release on console. And I'm sure theyl make extra money by re releasing on next gen consoles. It'll be good for console players anyways as theyl be able to play reforger ( or rather arma 4 by that point) with more frames.

[winter zephyr]

A bigger audience can only help, in my opinion.

[slow pagoda]

depends if box can go beyond what currently is made

if we want planes, box might not be able to handle maps that big

for sure there is market there, no denying that

[supple wigeon]

I do want to point out that it seems that BI has had a console Arma game in mind since Arma 2 it’s just that the porting didn’t really work out. Arma 3 was solely designed for PC but in an interview the next Arma game(this was back in 2014 so I highly doubt Reforger was even a concept yet) would be multi platform. https://www.polygon.com/2014/3/25/5545140/bohemia-attempted-to-port-arma-2-to-xbox-360-post-arma-3-project-will

[wary raft]

There was Operation Flashpoint: Elite which was on og. XBOX, above was not the first attempt.

[magic pebble]

i am worried a4 will be limited due to that. I kind of hope they will only release it to future gen, and not current existing ones.

[supple wigeon]

If I remember correctly it was a different dev studio that codemasters(the original publisher) contracted out to make the port

[wary raft]

no, Red DragonDragon Rising is completly different game.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UF04TJvGibc

[slow pagoda]

no, that would be ip theft and not allowed

[tepid torrent]

why? does codemasters have a claim over the assets? i would have thought it would be under BI control

[grizzled wave]

dose anyone know where to find the new 3x exp code?

[supple wigeon]

Don’t think that’s a thing

[fierce oar]

Experimental when?

[brittle agate]

Even if it were under BI control, it would still be theft to take it. For anyone who is not BI

[tepid torrent]

oh, understandable, but isnt there previous arma assets on BI website for modders?

hence why CUP was able to source assets?

[slow pagoda]

Only the released assets. Cup in itself is special case where they asked for and received data even before the public datapacks

Key here being asked for it and got it. Not took it from wherever

[tepid torrent]

ah that is understandable then, makes sense they wouldnt release a community pack either considering how dated the assets are in comparison to A2

[slow pagoda]

Also yes I believe codemasters having been the owner of the stuff is a problem

[tepid torrent]

thought this was that case 😄

[true flume]

The series x definitely can, the S can't, I think when A4 comes either we will have only series X, or whatever the next gen console is

[spark hound]

Delay A4 as long as possible

[wild lava]

or just buy PC so there wont be any console limitations

[magic pebble]

if they have to optimize the game for 20 series cards owners, they might aswell optimize it for console players too

[worthy pumice]

do missionHeader in server config.json file wont work anymore?

"missionHeader": { "m_eDefaultGameFlags": 5, "m_eEditableGameFlags": 5, "m_fVictoryTimeout": 300, "m_iControlPointsCap": 4, "m_iPlayerCount": 128, "other": "values" },

Gulfcoast islands, (won't function on series s, but pc and Xbox series X it will)

[topaz whale]

Chernarus is the same size as the Gulf coast islands terrain too

[true flume]

It's hella unfinished tho isn't it?

[topaz whale]

Partially maybe. A lot of it looks playable at least

[true flume]

I never even tried cos in the bio it said it was the same size as Arland to make it playable

[topaz whale]

Oh yeah you're right. It isn't fully done. The terrain itself isn't the size of Arland. The description says the playable size is the size of Arland

[true flume]

Will be insane when it's finished tho

[sand verge]

when the servers on xbox will be work

[loud root]

what size is it?

[true flume]

Couldn't tell you, but big

[topaz whale]

~15x15km

[loud root]

in that case Zminitra is bigger, its at 16 by 16km

[lucid tulip]

If us team got the iifs backpack does that mean us might get the iifs load bearing vest?

[supple wigeon]

Looking through binoculars is painfully slow

[stable topaz]

Known issue

[snow turret]

So AI commanding is a thing, but how do you do it? Or is it not implemented yet?

[eager sandal]

its in #reforger_experimental branch currently not in stable branch yet

[sand verge]

On PC idk but on Controller you have to look at an AI and press Select + LB then you click on 'Recruit' after that you can give him any order by using the same buttons again. If you're not on controller it might be worth checking the Keybinds in the settings, look for 'ai Commanding', there should be two. One is for Emotes, and the other for the Orders.
Oh and you have to be a Squad Leader.

Select + LB for Orders
Select + RB for Emotes

[topaz whale]

Going to link this here because at least in GameMaster there is a very specific process that has to be used: #reforger_experimental message

[random cape]

Note that commands can be quickslotted

[silk jay]

Ps5 release?

[chrome sphinx]

Probably not soon

[silk jay]

Word but they plan on it?

[chrome sphinx]

They have been saying so yeah, they also said they will share news if they have some. I'm pretty sure it's Sony holding them up and not the actual development since Sony is very strict regarding mods and etc.

[stray blade]

This is everything that has been stated:
#reforger_questions message

No other info

[silk jay]

Yeah Sony needs to stop acting like children towards mods if they don’t except mods in games soon there gonna be left behind pretty quick

[silk jay]

Word thanks

[grizzled tulip]

I have a question if the Arma gods have time to answer, has there been any discussion about implementing detailed weapon handling like in DayZ? Maybe as an option, like some WWII games have the option for "automatic bolt" cycling? And for individual ammunition loading like in DayZ? I don't know why but one of my fondest memories of DayZ was walking around with a lever action, cycling the lever on a good cartridge and reloading that cartridge. It literally makes me want to buy a lever action.

Detailed loading could also open the door for more interesting weapons like muskets that have a more detailed manual of arms

Or even a jamming mechanic or the ability to remove the magazine and visually see how many rounds are left?

[random cape]

afaik all that's been mentioned has been that the latest experimental branch update added support for open-bolt weapons... nothing of what you've described is on the public roadmap, which is all that the developers will publicly guarantee, so this is a case of 'not impossible but BI won't commit to it in public' (the not impossible caveat is because BI never promised open-bolt weapons simulation either)

[slow pagoda]

might not be a reforger thing but maybe futher up a enfusion engine feature

[thick tartan]

Does the “Rank” of a bot determine how it acts?

[gaunt lark]

Anyone know how to save a scenario with Game Master Enhanced?

[feral grove]

MP5's in the future?

[loud root]

if someone makes a mod for them probably, considering reforger revolves around cold war "infantry" and not special operations i doubt in the base game. It would be nice if bohemia did though 😅

[topaz whale]

There's special forces in Reforgers experimental branch now

[loud root]

😳 , i must investigate

[stable topaz]

MP5s are classic, wouldn't be surprised if they make a comeback

[topaz whale]

Really sad we didn't get the Blackhawk again

[terse cloak]

thought this was a reforger mod by the quality for a sec lol

[stable topaz]

Hey that was pretty good for 23 years ago!

[past kayak]

Miss me some Clean Sweep

[lucid tulip]

Yeah I hope it gets added so aks74u can look usefull in contrast

[terse cloak]

forgetting about m16a2 carbine?

[lucid tulip]

No why? A 14.5 inch carbine barrel is still usable for typical engagement distances. Plus it has full auto capability whereas m16a2 doesn't.

[terse cloak]

wouldnt you say aks74u and m16a2 carbine are same ish.

[lucid tulip]

No? Aks74u has a 8 inch barrel.

[terse cloak]

both are shorter versions of fullsize rifles tho

with same caliber.

[lucid tulip]

But the shorter barrel length affects your accuracy.

[magic pebble]

does it actually

[lucid tulip]

Aks74u should be seen as more of a pdw for pilots or vehicle crew then a carbine. There is a reason why with ak100 series they designed the ak105 ( 5.45x39) as a carbine that was more viable for spetznaz use then aks74u. Ak105 is shorter then ak74 utilizing a 12.5 inch barrel, but longer then the aks74u.

I tested the krinkov last night I have trouble hitting anything past 50 meters. Plus it's less controllable then ak in full auto. But comparing to a submachine gun at least it is shooting an interim sized cartridge so its going to punch harder, Wheras a 9mm is probably gonna feel lackluster against anyone wearing a flak vest.

Sure I'd expect a 9mm fired from a smg length barrel to hit a bit harder due to extra velocity but it's still just a 9mm.

[woeful junco]

the aks-74u is worse than the pp-2000 which is what replaced it, a real pdw with better ap ammo on top of everything mind you. tankers switched to the aks-74. basically the aks-74u was a giant pos.

[lucid tulip]

I figure apart from it existing in reforgers time frame( and being iconic) the reason for aks74u was going to be suppressors for sof

[woeful junco]

and yes the special forces guys scoffed at it. it was used more by police than anything

[lucid tulip]

Since pbs4 supressor was specifically used with the aks74u

[magic pebble]

You can only use it properly with a suppressor too.

[cerulean token]

I am 99% sure that was the intent

[woeful junco]

you can put it on the normal 74. but the akm was used way more for suppressed ak

[terse cloak]

pbs4 was designed for aks74u

[woeful junco]

look up the bs-1 tishina with pbs

[lucid tulip]

One of these days I need to test the aks74un with the pso optic. 😆

[arctic pebble]

you guys know if we will ever be able to ziptie POWs in vanilla?

[loud root]

what's wrong with killing them....

[woeful junco]

base game there probably wont be any pow stuff, id imagine that it goes aganist the flow of conflict.

[arctic pebble]

I mean, it would just be a matter of removing the zipties from the arsenal... I think such a feature in the base game would be pretty cool. Now that we have incapacitation and a better medical system, it would be cool to be able to save an enemie's life and capture him

[woeful junco]

if that is the case then maybe it might come. there is sealed ammo cans and sandbags that could be used for building and carrying ammo around

[verbal mesa]

The aks-74u was a terrible quick design that was slapped together for vehicle crewmen. There was a need for a short barrel length and the Russian army wanted to have it in 5.45 the same as the ak74s for supply reasons. It fell apart when shooting and had all kinds of design flaws. It was a big failure but very cool in video games

[verbal mesa]

Ak74u is much earlier than pp2000

[fathom osprey]

5.45 > 9mm for AP...

[woeful junco]

incorrect the aks-74u has 25mm more barrel and that short little barrel that is only 206mm long does nothing for the 5.45. there is a good reason why you dont see many of them today

[verbal mesa]

Oh they were garbage, a slap together for the Soviets to quickly remedy a problem and try to use the same ammunition in case of easier supply

[magic pebble]

9mm can't pen more than a 5.45

I can spit a 5.45 and it will still pen more than a 9mm shot from a 14inch barrel

[verbal mesa]

I would agree with that

[lucid tulip]

In the context of comparing 9mm fired from an mp5. I doubt m882 nato 9x19mm is going to out penetrate 5.45 even if it's fired from short barrel.

[lucid tulip]

☝️

M882 nato is a hotter round since it's a 124 grain bullet and typical civilian 9mm is 115 grain. But it's not a ap bullet

Yeah no 5.45 > 9mm even from the shitter that is the krinkov

[woeful junco]

well the PP2000 is the replacement of the 74U because as I stated before the 74U is too big and weak. the PP2000 is small and compact and fires at 550m/s. people think that the 74u is some great spec ops gun when in really it was a under preforming bulky pdw. this is not a debate on 5.45 vs 9mm its what happened in reality. with 74u you are already loosing 150m/s right at the start which why the sights only go up to 400m.

[lucid tulip]

Pp2000 wasn't a thing in 89. The conversation only started because someone was asking if a mp5 would come for sof faction in reforger, and I joked that it would make the krinkov look practical

[fathom osprey]

MP5 was funny in ARMA 2, you just poppoppop on enemy soldiers and they simply go prone and turn around to fire at you.

[lucid tulip]

and then didnt even simulate armor then. id bet now that AI are wearing typical flak jackets SO id bet the end result would be the same in reforger.

I mean sure your spitting out 9mm at a bit faster velocity since you have more barrel length then a berretta m9 but presumably you are shooting a mp5 at longer ranges then you would attempt to try to shoot someone with a handgun, so with taking into consideration velocity loss stuff like pasgt, and 6b2 will likely still end up tanking 9mm anyways

[random cape]

Iirc this was pretty much because its war debut was in Afghanistan where -- like 5.56 x 45 mm out of a 14.5 inch barrel decades later -- it wasn't long-range enough for where their Afghan opposition was shooting from

[winter zephyr]

In Conflict when fighting in close-ish quarters (like in an objective in a town at night), an AKS-74U is similarly effective to other rifles while being lighter/shorter and cheap.

In my limited experience playing with it, at least.

[woeful junco]

how big is the muzzle flash, maybe you can blind people at night with it

[winter zephyr]

I did think that would get me killed once but I think my mobility made up for the downsides.

[haughty robin]

As someone who has added a 9mm smg to the game, you do need to go full auto to down enemies with it

[foggy ridge]

unless you use my damage fix mod

[verbal mesa]

I love the ak74u I used it almost everytime in experimental although I'm a vehicle focused kind of Russian

Semi auto works fine with 74u

[ornate notch]

is there a way to report players or does bohemia not have a ban function for arma yet

Cuz theres a list of people who kill teammates, vote kick randoms etc constantly on public servers.

[magic pebble]

I don't remember which one, but a developer did say to dm them names, and evidence on here. Although, I don't think they can actually do anything about it. It's still not possible to perma ban players.

[ancient rapids]

I havent looked into new server config stuff in a while, is there an admin mode that does not give GM rights? (Only kick or ban players, and maybe the GM camera mode so they can spy on players) Or is Admin/GM mode one in the same, and If so; any ability to black/whitelist those things in gm mode?

[digital oriole]

Hey does anybody know how to access the prefab component of Ben.Obj's Diving Mod to adjust the oxygen tank levels?
