reforger_questions

[digital oriole]

It says you can do that in the mod description but idk how.

[stray blade]

No, admin is the same

[fierce oar]

Is 50dl/10ul internet enough for reforger?

[stray blade]

Server no, client yes. If we are talking Mbps

Also casing of "b" matters

[violet lava]

Does anyone know if the ability to fly any type of plane or fighter jets will come to the game?

[terse cloak]

No

[foggy ridge]

50 deciliters download and 10 microliters upload?

[random cape]

None has ever been announced, ditto for tracked vehicles

[fierce oar]

Yes, of rakija

[paper lily]

Anyone know the name of the ability in some games, to jump on a moving object/Ship/Car and for you to move along with that object?

[final trench]

I hope theyll add tracked vehicles at some point. Theres wreckage around the map so maybe we will get something

[terse cloak]

they wont

[final trench]

They will

[terse cloak]

wheres your proof

[final trench]

An angel told me

[terse cloak]

you must be on that special stuff

[half locust]

sorry to burst the bubble, but that's a certain nope for reforger

[final trench]

Wrong again bud

[half locust]

https://tenor.com/view/mr-bean-gif-5958854468941694453

[dim quiver]

bro that's literally one of the mods😭😭

[woeful junco]

he probably saw one of those mods that use texture animation for a track and thought yeah that's enfusion quality 🙂

when in reality is just hacked up together and not proper.

[topaz whale]

His evidence was "there is tracked wreckage around the game so maybe we will get some" which seems pretty flimsy. Especially considering we never got an Osprey in A3. ... or a BMP2... or a Ural.... or a UAZ

[final trench]

Ok bud keep making assumptions I have my sources

[topaz whale]

To quote you;

Theres wreckage around the map so maybe we will get something
Not good logic. Now if you want to say that you're friends with the CEO and he told you that there will be tracked vehicles that's a little more reasonable even though I would think that you're lying. But that isn't what you said

[final trench]

LOL Im not allowed to share with the plebians what Ive heard

[topaz whale]

And yet according to you, you just did

[final trench]

Youll see though dont worry

[topaz whale]

^sarcastic thumbs up for the record

[gleaming holly]

Lol

[final trench]

An angel told me

[haughty sail]

This man is high 😂

[magic pebble]

I'm not 100% sure, but I think he is lying about the angel telling him.

[eager sandal]

Obvious troll is obvious. No need to feed it.

[twilit junco]

In experimental when you deploy radio you can spawn as long you have supplies, but game also allow you to lock the spawn with loadout BUT if you can spawn with your loadout then the game tell you "you need arsenal" for that, i tried to deploy radio with arsenal practically next to it as well with supply truck (with full supplies) yet game still gives me warning i need arsenal, is it bug or you wont be able to spawn through the radio with your loadout even with arsenal truck present

[winter zephyr]

When the radio is deployed, you can interact with it to allow custom loadouts.

[terse cloak]

I cant find that option, i even went to 2 different servers

[winter zephyr]

What about in vanilla single player Conflict?

[terse cloak]

Didnt try that but every time i deploy it on the ground, for a sec it gives me like a 5 option list, then it just dissapears and becomes to undeploy and open

[winter zephyr]

I wonder if it is restricted to the group leader.

[terse cloak]

I was sl

[twilit junco]

try deploy it close to full supply truck or secret stash and see if the option shows up

[terse cloak]

I did next to the stash at provins

[fierce oar]

Hey guys! Does anyone know the name of MHQ radio radius? And where is it hidden?

[foggy steppe]

Will this instruction or a link to it be posted on the wiki?

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/news/boot-camp-host-your-own-game

Is anyone having problems loading the pictures at the beginning of the news?

https://cms-cdn.bistudio.com/cms-static--reforger/images/c39c15c1-4cbf-49f6-b371-558134d6ad8b-NEWS 1280x720 v1.jpg

[foggy steppe]

Are there any plans to show who started voting?

[winter zephyr]

Have you tried in vanilla game master? It also works there.

Also, what language do you have your game set to?

[terse cloak]

enlgihs

[terse cloak]

havent yet

cant deploy radios on vanilla gm

[winter zephyr]

Yes you can. GM needs to set it in the scenario settings.

[terse cloak]

ah

[winter zephyr]

Which I think is the default, and you need to be in a player group.

[bleak arch]

What’s a “JIP Error”? I just got one never seen it before.

[hardy rover]

is there a way to prevent despwaning of items or delay them when privately hosting a server?

[twilit junco]

through mod i think its possible, maybe bacon have some mods doing what you need

[novel finch]

For better performance in Reforger I need focus on CPU correct ?

[winter zephyr]

What your bottleneck is depends on your hardware.

[mint crypt]

Anyone know how I can get a mod made ?

I'm wanting to try to get a mod made for my stepfather who passed he passed before soon after the game released and we never got to really enjoy the game together like we were looking forward to..

[magic pebble]

#creators_recruiting

[mint crypt]

Thanks a bunch

[supple wigeon]

Nope

[chrome sphinx]

Not for reforger but for Arma 4

[hollow salmon]

wish they would add them, would be good practice with the engine for arma 4

[woeful junco]

its out of scope for arma reforger so no.

[haughty sail]

Thats ok. They work very fast and with a great quality stuff. A4 will come fast. Idk if they already work on it now

[woeful junco]

they are working on it

[haughty sail]

Oh cool. So yes while we really enjoy reforger they progress on A4 so. With the very great quality of reforger i dont mind if they take 3 or 4 years to release A4. Just hope i'll still be alive by that time

[odd ridge]

when starting up the mi-8, why does it constantly rotate to one side and is there any way to stop that?

[stable topaz]

Not sure how realistic it is, but I think it's simulating torque from the main rotors. Can try applying rudder to counter it, as the tail rotor spins up.

[odd ridge]

ty

[pastel agate]

When will reforger saving be fixed does anyone know?

[ancient rapids]

That's pretty vague...

It's not broken for me/my scenario! 🤷‍♂️

[pastel agate]

On xbox whenever i save and exit combat ops it doesnt save

[stray blade]

Oh saving and loading only works on dedicated servers.
(Except GM)

[pastel agate]

Ohhhhhhh well thank you very much @stray blade, any chance they will have a save option in future for combat ops etc?

[terse cloak]

unknown

[stray blade]

I am not right person to answer that. But i belive it will.

[pastel agate]

No worries, thank you both

One last question, when i buy a server do i just buy an arma 3 server or do i have to look for the specific arma reforger. If its a too long to answer ill try and google it

[stray blade]

You usually wont buy the server, but rent it.

Arma 3 is a diffrent game, if you want arma 3 server rent arma 3 server.
If u want reforger, your rent reforger.

You can also rent a dedicated machine or VPS (but perhaps Dedicated might be cheaper given requirements) and run both.
It does require some more know-how to set up.

[pastel agate]

Oh thats explains a lot thank you very much, i appreciate your time to help me

[stray blade]

As a side note. Reforger server binaries are completely free. If you have a pc, you can run it.

As with DS or Vps it requires setting up, which is not the easiest thing to do if you never done it before.

[pallid monolith]

Hello What is the mod for the gloves on the workshop?

[slow pagoda]

you will have to be more specific

[pallid monolith]

military gloves

[terse cloak]

experiemental has them

[pastel agate]

Im on xbox series x, i cant find arma reforger server renting on gportal or nitrado. Is that because im on xbox or i need to download the right app?

[slow pagoda]

xbox has nothing to do with server renting or hosting

they are external services

[pastel agate]

Ok thank you, how come i cant find arma reforger on the apps? Could you help me?

[slow pagoda]

apps?

I dont know what you mean

[pastel agate]

Nitrado and gportal are apps on xbox

[slow pagoda]

you proably need to go to their websites

I got no clue on how they operate 😅

[pastel agate]

No worries lmao thank you ill do that now

So found out no i cant rent a arma reforger server on xbox

[terse cloak]

why?

[pastel agate]

I went to the site and it states windows 10 only. It said to use the xbox nitrado app for xbox series x console players. I checked and there is no servers for xbox series x containing arma reforger servers. Sucks but i hope they change that...

Also checked the gportal aswell and its the same

Gonna refund as i was excited to create my own server and the fact i cant save any of the scenarios on the game aswell just hurts my soul.

[exotic marsh]

You can use your phone

[pastel agate]

What you mean?

[exotic marsh]

Go to their website on your phone browser, find the provider and pay there. This is getting a little off topic I feel though

[pastel agate]

Ill try the phone way

And nope only pc lmao

Anyway thanks to everyone helping but im gonna leave. Take care and enjoy

[sand verge]

Is arma reforger coming to ps5

[terse cloak]

u got ur response

[sand verge]

What

[terse cloak]

check #reforger_discussion

[sand verge]

Oh

I didn't even read the message, just figured he said to go here and ask.

[terse cloak]

yeah if you press the button it will take you to the messagge

[gleaming holly]

Are there any plans to add wildlife beyond the current birds to Reforger? I remember deer being mentioned at one point about a year ago

[foggy ridge]

frogs

[elder ore]

Now that there are ponds and streams frogs would be nice.

[stable topaz]

No, unless BI announce otherwise

[sand verge]

They said they were

[slow pagoda]

maybe, maybe not. nothing is set in stone, youll just have to wait and see

[stable topaz]

I wouldn't bet money of Reforger coming to PS5

[sand verge]

But until then, my friend will have to wait.

[slow pagoda]

you should apply to bohemia if you know what is needed.

[sand verge]

im only 16

Plus, i don't know whats needed.

[slow pagoda]

👍 then you might want to know it is much harder than you think

[sand verge]

So let me retract said message.

[tepid torrent]

even better, you wont qualify for a full wage, time to ship you off to the czech republic!

[eager sandal]

Does server fps or ping affect keyboard input lag? Sometimes on high ping server, I find my keyboard entry lagging a bit. Like reload for example. I press R once, it didn't register so I press a few more times until it finally reload my weapon.

[wispy totem]

is this normal or nah, only game where I have this ping

[winter zephyr]

That's only to the master server, which is fairly inconsequencial. The ping to the servers you play on is what matters.

[wispy totem]

ty

[haughty sail]

I have a friend who play on ps5 too ( yeah no one is perfect ) he want play reforger too. He better buy a PC

[frail sequoia]

Can you host a server on xbox?

[odd ridge]

going forward, do you guys think modded vehicles will put more of a priority on interiors seeing as how we can interact with them with certain actions, at least for drivers and gunners?

[terse cloak]

That is an individual level question tbh

[slow pagoda]

no

[frail sequoia]

Sad times

[lusty plover]

Does anybody know when the update might drop how many weeks?

[terse cloak]

In 3 or more weeks

You can check it out urself and see if its good enough for stable(no)

[thorn furnace]

Have you played with the RHS K-17? It has an interior with a much higher level of interactivity than any default vehicle. It's very nice.

[static agate]

Hey there, I'm trying to figure out how to make some custom signs for my units reforger server, I cannot find a tutorial or anything to guide me. Anyone have a video I can check out? Or some help would be awesome

[slow pagoda]

there is no specifc tutorial like that

[static agate]

Thats what I thought

[wind igloo]

Does anyone know how to put down the visor from the pilot's helmet?

[terse cloak]

cant

[signal vessel]

Are there any Plans to add Flyingskills for the AI

[terse cloak]

No

[signal vessel]

☹️

[signal vessel]

Crazy

ai flying helicopters whould be really cool

[sturdy adder]

Is there a way to make yourself gamemaster in single player conflict?

[drowsy geode]

yea hit esc then click game master under respawn

[sturdy adder]

Thanks, but that option isn't available in the conflict gamemode

[drowsy geode]

it is on PC not sure for xbox

[drowsy geode]

make your game thru host, not play/continue, and then you can save& load back your game thru gamemaster

[past kayak]

Is Arma 4 the same exact engine as this or is this an intermediary?

[tepid torrent]

it will have quite a few differences, but th eworkflow will remain the same or similar at least

it will probably handle assets and scripts identically

[slow pagoda]

it will not be this exact engine. it will be the enfusion engine of the future

whenever that time is

[past kayak]

so no but yes, but No. Cool.

[jagged ginkgo]

Does Reforger also have monthly sales?

[fathom osprey]

It's a bit late for the saying, but I feel like they shouldn't add units at all if they don't, and won't, work in singleplayer. Not nice to place down a helicopter in your offline mission and find it's unable to do anything!

[winter zephyr]

But it can still be used for things.

[eager sandal]

Reforger is not meant for Single Player anyway.... it is MP focused. Consider it a bonus you can play solo.

[glossy tundra]

has anyone here dealt with frame drops/stuttering when you turn your camera?

i'm able to run the game at a consistent 100+ fps, but as soon as i move the camera at all, i get major frame drops

[rotund sphinx]

Where would I go if a wanted a commission mod

[exotic marsh]

You can't commission a mod unless the modder does it for free

[elder ore]

They can make the a.i. fly helicopters, maybe..

With the newest patches reforger is shaping up really well, and it's also starting to get more audience attention.
Interest in the game is increasing. PS players want it. There's also interest in sp content.
If they keep fixing and delivering content the popularity of the game will increase and it will keep selling.

The a.i. should be able to use all the vehicles in the game. This is something that they will have to do for arma 4 anyway. Might aswell implement and test it in reforger.

Reforger becomes the best selling, most popular game out there.

It's quite simple.

[terse cloak]

Reforger is a niche game

[eager sandal]

They already developing A4, so if they add flying AI, it would only introduced more complexity and bugs to Reforger. Some people want to play Reforger, not beta test for Arma 4

[elder ore]

All arma games are niche games.

[terse cloak]

Yes

[neon meteor]

Can't wait for Arma 4 and better helicopters.

[eager sandal]

What is this persistent items setting means?

[cerulean token]

I'm fairly sure this makes items like bandages return to your hand when you stop aiming down sights or run/vault/fall down something.

[past kayak]

I thought Reforger literally was the test bed for Arma 4

[magic pebble]

tis not

but kind of, little bit is

[terse cloak]

its ish

[foggy ridge]

Yesnt

[drowsy geode]

Re4ger XD

[elder ore]

This means continued development, wich also means reforger will grow to be even better. And people will notice and join and the game and comunity will take over the world, and then there will be no more real war, just virtual war

[terse cloak]

this was on may 15 btw, before 1.2 and also roadmap isnt still finished, i think he is just meaning that

[runic grotto]

I'm running into a weird issue involving the arsenal. I have the exact same mods loaded on my server, and I place an arsenal with the same options down via game master. Some missions have every item from the mods, but on some missions there are a few items missing from the arsenal. I thought a mod wasn't loading at first but on the missions where some items are missing, it seems like half the items from "Mod A" are there and half are missing. Anyone know what could be causing this?

[flint nest]

Would it be possible for the dev team to consider releasing premium modding tools that can be accessed either through a one-time purchase or a monthly subscription? By providing these advanced tools, modders would be empowered to enhance their creations and take on commission work, creating high-quality content for the community.

Could such a model be structured to allow modders to legally use these tools for commissioned projects? This approach could offer significant benefits, providing a new revenue stream for Bohemia Interactive while supporting the modding community by enabling them to earn from their skills.

This could foster a more engaged and innovative community of creators and players. Is this something the team might be willing to explore?

It could also work off a simple system were the mods using the tool have a mark, Not sure what kind of marker could be used, but it would then confirm when or if an investigation into paid commission work comes up that it was legally done through the paid mod tools.

[covert lava]

Why are you advocating for the devs to hide modding tools behind a paywall instead of just releasing them with the already free tools provided?

[flint nest]

Im not, The free tools remain as they are. This would just be a subscription version or paid version that would allow a modder to then charge for there work useing the tools. in the past I have heard moderators on here state the reason Paid works not allowed is due to the free nature of the tools and the TOS combined. this would be a possible work around by the devs that would work out for all sides.

Free tools remain Free and no commission work that is paid for would be allowed.

Paid for tools allows the modder to be approched and paid for if someone wishes to comission them to make a mod or use the reforger tools to bring work into the game.

Modders who would wish to purchase the subscription, likely something around 20-30 a month would be able to then charge for there work and the quality of there work. this of course would also allow the modder using these " Premium Mod tool " or Licensing package would be the better name, would be able to put stock into how well they can operate the tools. if they think they can make a profit from using the tools while also share a portion of the profitwith BI then both BI and the modder can benefit.

[shut cosmos]

Personally I hate paid mods/tools, things become less and less inclusive and mods stay shite quality.. People just get greedier. Just not a good thing man, plus they already have free tools that work why would they go out of their way making a seperate licensing and then have to worry about some knob making a commisioned mod and then deleting it causing a loss for the person who 'commisioned' the mod lol way too much headache for nearly no financial return on the work, not enough people would even buy it for it to make sense on the labour cost of code

[flint nest]

Not a debate channel yall! Its a ask Devs a question channel, please respect that!

[covert lava]

Bohemia also already publish third party mods ala Arma 3 creator DLCs. This is just gonna turn into skyrim/steam paid mods with stolen assets. If you wanna get your mod published contact Bohemia.

[slow pagoda]

people can still give their opinion. I have high doubts paid mod quality control would be up to snuff and there would be ton of asset flip scams rolling in

the reality of the matter is that there are a lot of bad sides to such idea

[flint nest]

Im going off of what @half locust has said in the past, this is not a debate channel, its a ask a question, get an answer channel.

[slow pagoda]

anyway

if you want your question to reach relevant people you may need to use email

here it is not likely to reach the eyes of right people

[magic pebble]

Capitalist charging us for water is not enough, they want to charge us for mods too.

[austere nimbus]

I would pay to not have to pay for mods or modders 🤔

[grizzled kettle]

Checking back in to see if there is a PS5 release announcement

[terse cloak]

nope

[grizzled kettle]

Bruh

See y’all again in a month

[terse cloak]

well what you can do is follow their twitter and you would know when.

[grizzled kettle]

Well what if it doesn’t get posted to the Twitter

[terse cloak]

it will

[terse cloak]

it will

[grizzled kettle]

Hmmm I think I’m going to continue to check the Twitter and if I don’t see anything there I’ll be back in a month

[terse cloak]

i dont think it will come in a month

[grizzled kettle]

That’s when I’ll be back to check next tho

[terse cloak]

fair

[slow pagoda]

[verbal mesa]

Guys how do I play with my friend on ps5

[stuck cradle]

ps5 dont have a arma

[verbal mesa]

Modding should remain a community driven thing as a collective for the better of the entire Arma series and community.

And not turned into a business. Modders being paid for their time is an interesting idea however the business side of it will quickly overpower then

Also who is making a ps5 mod?

[slow pagoda]

enough of the ps5. if such things are announced you will find out in the official announcements

[verbal mesa]

I'm sorry it was a joke

[slow pagoda]

its just old

get new material

[verbal mesa]

That's subjective!

I learnt from Jerry Seinfeld probably

[lilac narwhal]

Meeting the original roadmap goals is not "continued development". It's more like delayed delivery.

[elder ore]

Yeah I drink too much coffee and do that sometimes.
Anyway, anything is possible.
Once the roadmap is complete and the game is stable I wouldn't mind buying dlc for it (not cdlc though).

[terse cloak]

they arent planning dlcs for reforgre

[lilac narwhal]

They'll move directly to Arma 4 once Reforger is complete.

[terse cloak]

watch the rfi's and some of your questions will be answered

[vapid gulch]

yo why the ping so bad?

[ancient rapids]

Could be many reasons 🤷‍♂️

[vapid gulch]

i've done a bunch of debugging on my end, and i know my wifi can handle other games of similar scale, so i'm not sure as to why reforger has such terrible servers, or my wifi can't handle it, i've seen other posts online related to it

[terse cloak]

you lost me at wifi, also game has some issues with desync and hitreg

[woeful junco]

wifi sucks if your gaming

[vapid gulch]

it's a shame yeah, but reforger seems to be the only game where this like a serious problem, i've tested multiple networks too
it'll work for like 20 seconds, then just have the ping max out at 999 and then crash like a minute later

[woeful junco]

ping is related to how far you are to the server. if you use wifi, satellite internet, cellular and how ever many points needed to made for information to travel increaes your ping

[vapid gulch]

no i get that, what confuses me is that it starts alright in the menus and for the first half a minute before it decides "nuh uh" and just locks up
shame more than anything, this game is amazing bar the connection issues

[sand verge]

They call me the naked warrior

[wary raft]

cool, and how's that a question? ;d

[winter zephyr]

There is a difference in that Reforger requires more bandiwdth than most games. Your wifi could be the culprit if it is not handling the extra bandwidth that well.

[jagged ginkgo]

does reforger have monthly sales?

[terse cloak]

i think its starting to get sales the same time a3 does

[past kayak]

people been runnin aroun in they Draws since 2012

[ancient rapids]

I would try to get hard wired if you can. This also reminds me of the horrible lag I got when I was running an outdated video card driver. Would be fine for about 3-10min then my frames would drop to like <5.

[cinder kayak]

When will the ai be able to drive? Idk if they already can or if there is a mod for it I am on Xbox btw

[eager sandal]

When they got their driving license. They're at driving school now, so yeah.... soonTM

[past kayak]

They are driving in Experimental version I believe

[arctic bronze]

When playing as a Gamemaster, is there an easy way to see where deployed units are on the map, like in Arma 3 Zeus?

[neon star]

Does anyone know how to fix this error?

[ancient rapids]

Read the logs to find out where the error is

[haughty sail]

These doors will be animated in the future ?

[drowsy geode]

it needs the power grid

[haughty sail]

still can work without power grid

[chrome sphinx]

Just push it

[cerulean token]

This has been asked a million times probably, but are the bases you cannot spawn on for whatever reason a bug, or is there a reason ? They got supplies, they got an antenna, they got antenna range. I'm fairly sure some people asked the same before.

[stray blade]

It has to have arsenal. (On exp) if u wanna spawn with saved loadout

[cerulean token]

Ah I forgot to say stable.

[brazen fern]

Does anyone know a server that is basically PVE where players are tasked with defending against overwhelming odds.

[stray blade]

Perhaps some gm server. But im not aware of such gamemode

[lethal harness]

Question… how hard would it be to get some type of transformer in Reforger? Just sit after work rewatching the movies and thinking how cool it’d be to be able to GM something dealing in this universe.

Or second thought would be some type of mech suit the players can wear giving them extra speed, agility, carry weight, and jumping ability.

Think call of duty advanced warfare type shit

[gleaming holly]

Someone was working on an insurgency sandstorm type gamemode at one point but idk what happened with it

[slow pagoda]

hard

[brazen fern]

I guess I'll have to make one then lol

[stable topaz]

The HALO mod basically did this with their Spartans

[copper hawk]

Do you have to make your own zeus mission in the workbench in order to use mods on zeus?

[chrome sphinx]

You just open gamemaster in the main menu

[copper hawk]

Yeah but the arsenal doesnt seem to have modded shit

unless im doing it wrong

[terse cloak]

you may have to spawn a modded arsenal

[paper lily]

Anyone tell me why some moddes Pip Scopes are smooth while some kill your frames down to -23 ?

[terse cloak]

mods have different qualities

[quaint cargo]

Check roadmap

[half locust]

no

[paper lily]

Would love to have 1 or 2 tracked vehicles in the game, just so they could add the mechanics of neutral steering so all modders can properly put in tracked vehicles

[slow pagoda]

Not on the roadmap though.

[foggy ridge]

modders can put in neutral steering themselves but seem to not want to for some reason

[twilit junco]

https://devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/directsr-preview/

so can we expect new scaling technology with future updates ?

xbox players probably gets more of this than pc players

[terse cloak]

Would be nice but wont be coming

[wary badge]

I believe spacestrider is working on some tracked vehicles

[half locust]

it has been said that it won’t happen for reforger

[half locust]

the question was in regards to vanilla tracked vehicle implementation (opposed to the current modded version which is basically wheeled vehicle with tracked animation engine wise), and that won’t happen either

[wary badge]

Ah ok, I must've misread

[violet lava]

The base game helmet or is it from a mod

[wind igloo]

Base

[violet lava]

Which helmet Rus or US

[wind igloo]

SPH-4 Helmet

[violet lava]

Send me a pic of what it looks like rn

[wind igloo]

Nah sorry its the rus one

[violet lava]

Uhm

[terse cloak]

no you cant on both

[violet lava]

This is the US one, I wasn’t aware you could put the visor up or down

[terse cloak]

because you cant

[violet lava]

You probably have a modded version @wind igloo but if it is the rus one it’s because it doesn’t have a visor

[violet lava]

Yeah you can’t put it down

[wind igloo]

😔

[eager sandal]

Can you like load whatever mods that's in use in a server locally without going back and forth from mod list in the server to your mod manager?

So that I can get a feel of the server gamemode offline...

[sturdy obsidian]

sorry for the dumb question, how do i locally host a server that my friends can join? they get errors when attempting to do so, no mods are being used, just trying to do a combat ops everon together

[paper lily]

Curious why no Modded Artillery has been put into the workshop now, I seen MLRS, and other mobile guns that should be able to do Artillery but mostly just dumb fire with no real measurement of accuracy has the mechanic ingame not been put in or found?

[eager sandal]

Maybe this -> https://reforger.armaplatform.com/news/boot-camp-host-your-own-game

[terse cloak]

i do remember there being mortars as mods, but people are waiting for official implementations of mortars.

[paper lily]

So is the mechanic of firing them not in the code/game for modders to use?

[terse cloak]

no and neither are the mortars in game

[arctic bronze]

Do I have to manually enable the modes every time I want to open a server?
Is there any way to save the mode list?

[eager sandal]

Are there any advantages/disadvantages to change the mods location from main C drive to the actual Refoger installed drive?

[haughty sail]

I heard from computer nerds that C should only be dedicated to windows files. So you need to leave room in it

[eager sandal]

If disk space is not a problem, it should be fine to let them stay at C drive right?

[haughty sail]

I guess no. Idk if having mod folder in the same disk as the game change something tho

[marsh island]

im trying to do my controller binding for the heli but cant remove looking arround being on the right stick. am i doing something wrong?

[quick compass]

hey all. i somehow can not heal other players. it shows me the prompt for applying a tourniquet or bandage for example, but pushing the button does not do anything. am i missing something? 🤔

[terse cloak]

you need to have the item on your hand

[quick compass]

it is, else it would not show the the prompt for applying it to my friend, right?

[terse cloak]

true

so you have the bandage on your hand and you are looking at his leg, then you press f and nothing happens?

[quick compass]

exactly. and that happens with every medical item. it is just doing nothing. is that a progress bar that should show up then or is it instant?

[terse cloak]

its just click and it does it

[quick compass]

meeeh, so many people died in my arms, just because its not working 😢

[terse cloak]

in the same session?

[quick compass]

i also tried to rebind the key, nothing. yeah, in the same session

[terse cloak]

have you tried to relog as you may have been bugged

https://medal.tv/games/arma-reforger/clips/hYR7sZLtiRfT9CgdE/d1337yEpohPd?invite=cr-MSxJWmssMTYyNjQ3OTYxLA

[quick compass]

it never worked so far, not in any session. not if i even closed the game completey and rejoined a game

it does not even work in the tutorial

[terse cloak]

did you do it like i did? if so then you have something thats doing something thats not supposed to happen

[quick compass]

yeah, it shows up exactly like in your vid, but they key stroke does nothing

[terse cloak]

maybe ur key is fucked

[quick compass]

tried with different keys already and i can type normal text as well 😦

[terse cloak]

hmm

[quick compass]

i maybe just uninstall and reinstall it

thanks for your help anyways, appreiciated

[random cape]

What slamsgt said, BI will 'show the way that indirect fire should be done' once the 2B14 and M252 are in and people don't necessarily want to have to recode from scratch if their implementation is all 'wrong'... although I'm sure models/textures are WIP among modders

[half birch]

does anyone know how to fix this?

[ancient rapids]

Fix what? Did you press enter to continue like it says?

[half birch]

apparently it doesnt record the flashing, but basically it just flashes on and off, it's not the monitor itself, it just happens on reforger

[untold oriole]

Is arma reforger going to be released for ps5 in 2024-25?

[terse cloak]

unknown

[haughty sail]

They said they are working on it, thats the only thing i know

@vigilante1123 We answer quite frequently, but we do not have an update for the public yet.

The PS5 version of Arma Reforger (not Arma 3) is in the works. We cannot give more specific information at this time. We will provide more details as soon as we can.

Twitter · Apr 22, 2024, 9:42 AM

[verbal mesa]

Hopefully. Think the issue is getting the servers to handle better. It's a lot of strain replicating that

[chrome sphinx]

There will be mirrors

[tepid torrent]

wouldn't it just be a client side thing though and not take a hit to server performance

[woeful junco]

I think mirrors and viewports will come with the lav-25

[verbal mesa]

hmm...

[olive mantle]

Would ground deformation be possible? Genuinely curious since it’s a new engine

In arma 2 I think helicopter crashes would dig into the terrain it looked really cool

[chrome sphinx]

If even at all possible probably something for A4

They said destruction for reforger isn’t as advanced as we wished but planned for A4 something like that

Here #reforger_discussion message

[olive mantle]

It would be nice to see the helicopter crash mechanic in the game the same way it was with Arma 2

[olive mantle]

Thanks

[spark hound]

Explain pls

[spark hound]

Yes

Adding this would be cool

[eager sandal]

That is nice, but that is merely a crater model on top of the terrain. No terrain deformation. But still, I agree it is better than nothing.

On that note, how hard is it to make individual parts of a vehicle model destroyed/damaged like we see in modern flight sim. (for both land and air vehicles)

[foggy ridge]

not that hard, last time I tried though physics didnt work correctly for the whole vehicle if only a part thats sticking out collided, this might be fixed now though

[fierce oar]

Is it a known bug with opening inventory instead of command menu?

Sometimes

[eager sandal]

I hope BI can make it so the vehicles have a more dynamic damage model...

[gaunt latch]

Are they gonna add anything to the everon map or expand it?

[lost moon]

Windows 7 support when ?

[mellow vessel]

Will the M60E3 ever be added to reforger?

[terse cloak]

Unless its in the roadmap then its not known

[elder ore]

Q: The Xmas tree mod works the same way as in OFP:R?
Real life date or ingame (editor sef) date?

I'm feeling nostalgic and weird about it. Good Times though.

[winter zephyr]

You can find the texture in the workshop tools, if you have the game on PC.

Do you own the game on Steam or Xbox?

Then you have the tools

[half locust]

?

[rich spindle]

yeah..? you need to download it to access it

[half locust]

you need to download and install the tools. was a bit confused about what you meant by program

[half locust]

? only ingame what

what is the subject of that sentence

find the asset that uses it, open the material for the asset, open the BCR in the material, screenshot it or whatever you want to do with it, profit -> you could easily transform that into a vector using illustrator, ai etc

where is that logo from? which asset is using it - ingame

[terse cloak]

uaz 469 prolly

[minor acorn]

the ural also uses that one I think

[half locust]

find these in the assets or prefabs

yes

[primal panther]

Can you download mods while alt tabbed?

[terse cloak]

yeah

[haughty sail]

Do we know what AP mine models we will have ?

[spark hound]

If I had to guess... M18 Claymorn for US and uhhh

[haughty sail]

I hope not

[spark hound]

Browsing Wikipedia... PMN mine maybe?

[spark hound]

Also why

[haughty sail]

Pmn are ok. Because claymore have a zone of effect. Like a cone you know what i mean. Its not when your walk on it it explode

[spark hound]

Ahhh I see

Maybe they'll have a Bouncing Betty style mine for the Soviets

[haughty sail]

Idk if soviets used that type of mines

[spark hound]

They did

OZM mines

[haughty sail]

Judt checked yeah. Well could be nice too

[spark hound]

Technically illegal but fuck the laws of war

[haughty sail]

Ah yes Geneva Suggestion

[spark hound]

Maybe people will actually mark minefields if they're full of OZMs/M18s

[eager sandal]

AP mines were made illegal after the wall fell no?

[spark hound]

Do you think anyone actually gives a damn about War Crimes in 1989?

[eager sandal]

I would actually like to believe they do. So that the other side can say they are the good guys because the other side didn't follow LOAC

[haughty sail]

Even today people dont care about WC

[spark hound]

Look at the 2 big recent conflicts

[haughty sail]

Yeah. We see mines

[spark hound]

Also War Crimes.

[haughty sail]

Well there is no war without war crimes. Impossible

[spark hound]

Nothing in war is illegal.

[eager sandal]

People nowadays don't care. But I would like to believe people back then do care. With that said. We are veering too far into offtopics. Lets get back to reforger

[thorn furnace]

What an absurb thing to say. Believe it or not, the vast majority of civilians and soldiers find war crimes abhorrent. People care.

[eager sandal]

Indeed. I was sarcastically respond to this message #reforger_questions message

[thorn furnace]

I'm confused lol. Let's move on.

[tepid torrent]

I think he means that militaries be it from upper command down to the individual soldiers when enveloped in war dont have much care for such laws, it goes both ways in a conflict but is not the case for all soldiers

[eager sandal]

Yes, lets move on.... It's getting too real and too offtopic

[arctic bronze]

how to load server setting?
I can see save setting button but there is no load button.

[flint hedge]

Will there be oceanic servers for the workshop? Currently it takes me 20mins to upload 500mb

Also will there be the ability for modder's to just edit there workshop, descriptions, change logs, and pictures? without having to re-upload the hole mod/terrain every single time?

[timid herald]

Is this the right place for sugestions?

[terse cloak]

no

[timid herald]

Thanks. I check further.. New to discord here 😉

[half locust]

see pins in #reforger_feedback or make a new topic in #1105888132001439754

[timid herald]

Thank You, I will do so. Cheers

[wraith kindle]

Question for the devs: Did popular mods like ACE3 and Task Force Radio influence your decisions and implementation of systems in game, like the vastly improved VOIP and radio system present in Reforger, and the new medical system, interactions, refuel/rearm, inventory, armor, weapons, et cetera? Or were these things that were always planned for the new engine regardless of the popularity of these mods?

[terse cloak]

if i remember right this question was some what answered in one of the rfis.

[wraith kindle]

Could you link it to me? Genuinely curious about the answer

[terse cloak]

yeah, its not really the answer but similar https://youtu.be/YDBNnva5bcc?si=VhAb6ZKbYGRIR7Fs&t=161 just remembered it a bit badly

[steel yew]

Anyone have good suggestions for mods that contain desert DCU or Multicam Arid uniforms?

[glossy tundra]

Is there a way to drop a whole stack of items at once? Can be kinda annoying having to click a bunch of times to drop all of one type of item

[barren solstice]

So I have a question for the devs, is there still going to be a PlayStation release for Arma Reforger?

[supple wigeon]

Probably but we dont know when

[wraith kindle]

Last I heard it was impossible due to Sony’s publishing restrictions because the game was in early access, but Xbox had the Game Preview program. Game went out of early access a long time ago so I’m not sure what’s holding it up now.

[verbal mesa]

Not that long ago and that kind of stuff takes time anyways

[wraith kindle]

Almost 7 months ago.

[ashen steeple]

Check out the mod called Early 2000s US Military for a good looking DCU uniform

[tepid torrent]

I personally doubt it will ever happen

[chrome sphinx]

Like a month ago they said they are still working on it and will share news if they have

[barren solstice]

Was that on twitter that they said they're still working on Playstation

[chrome sphinx]

Yeah

[barren solstice]

I'll have a look, but I don't get how they can't tell us this on discord, because there's thousands of people waiting to play the game and feel forgotten

[chrome sphinx]

A bit more than a month but yeah

[barren solstice]

Oh nice thank you so much

[terse cloak]

They have

[slow pagoda]

there just isnt any more to tell

[half locust]

not gonna happen.
here is a screenshot from the texture file

mind your manners. It wasn't a stupid reply, it isn't anyone's fault but yourself that you are unwilling/able to install the tools. Using a translator doesn't help either. Please keep it civil on this discord

[quick compass]

anyone else having trouble playing right now? 🤔

[half locust]

@fallen fossil no modding requests on this discord server thanks. You can use #creators_recruiting if needed be

[verbal mesa]

Yup and in the grand scheme, not that long ago.

[copper oyster]

Will missions and scenarios you create in Reforger be able to carry over to arma 4 when it comes out?

[slow pagoda]

likely not straight without any conversion work

[copper oyster]

ok thanks

[slow pagoda]

Cant know for sure of course, but logically A4 is likely to have more features and be made in "future" version of Enfusion so changes are likely needed

[eager sandal]

Does the load of the vehicle(s) have any effect on its driving performance? Like full load of supplies/troops vs empty...

[wraith kindle]

Was looking around in the workbench in Enfusion, and I found a VOG GL bandolier. Will we get this as an item for the Soviet faction at some point? Either attached to a vest or its own separate item that goes in the backpack slot?

[arctic bronze]

Is the mod profile feature unfinished yet?
I disable mods I don't use and then save them to a profile, but when I try to host a server, the mods I disabled are still in the mod list.

[grim otter]

Hey does anyone know how to fix 0 FPS on a server?

[azure meteor]

Is it possible to save a game in the scenarios when playing alone and continue later? It does not work, because after save and exit, when pressing continue it only loads the scenario as it was at the start, with none of the progress saved.

[fierce oar]

Is there any info on BI fixing AI command (commander menu not opening, AI being stubborn af) before 1.2 release?

[steady ginkgo]

Can somebody explain me how the -loadSessionSave parameter works and how I can put it in my dedicated server. I'm hosting via 4netplayers. As I understand correctly - everytime when server restarts it restarts also my conflict scenario progress without this parameter?

[foggy ridge]

sort of

if your host does not allow you add commandline parameters (or at least this one) find a different one

[chrome sphinx]

In a RFI very long time ago they said most of the development team will move to A4 after finishing the public reforger roadmap, I have seen comments that after 1.0 release a good portion was already transfered to A4 development. Does anyone have better clarification? Doesn't really change much but really interested in that

[half locust]

what you want better clarification with?

[winter zephyr]

The answer is probably: nobody outside of BI knows, they probably won't tell you, and that RFI is the latest official information.

[chrome sphinx]

Might have worded it poorly, RFI said that most of their forces are working on Reforger to complete the roadmap and then focus on A4. I have been seeing comments lately saying that a large portion of the development team have already been moved to A4 after Reforger 1.0 release. I don't remember any "official" source saying that so my question kinda is if there has been any comment about that.

But like HER0 said I guess it will remain unknown lol

[winter zephyr]

Yeah, those comments you've seen are speculation.

And considering the massive progress post 1.0 (including in the latest experimental series of updates), seems unlikely to me.

[grim otter]

Arma Reforger isn't being shut down once A4 is finished, right?

[terse cloak]

it will die for certain, community wise atleast

[stable topaz]

They usually maintain legacy games for quite a while

[grim otter]

Is A4 planed to be the same as AR or a different era?

[stable topaz]

But expect the player base of both A3 and AR to shift over to A4 as soon as it's stable

[grim otter]

So same way A3 player are shifting to AR currently?

[terse cloak]

not known but most of reforger assets along with some extra stuff will be in a4

[terse cloak]

a3 players arent shifting to ar currently

[grim otter]

?Um? Okay, if you say so.

Of course it's nothing major, who would ever leave A3 for AR?

[terse cloak]

a3 and reforger players will go to a4 once it comes, atleast the ones whose pcs can handle it

[stable topaz]

That's because AR is still relatively shallow. If it had all the core features of A3 it'd be different.

[terse cloak]

ofc

[grim otter]

Oh yeah the LAV, will the Soviets receive a new vehicle to combat the LAV because I can't imagine a BTR surviving long against an LAV

[terse cloak]

they both have similar armor, lav will just have a better gun but it will be a matter of who shoots who first

[stable topaz]

Think Soviets are getting the BRDM-2

[grim otter]

Ah okay. And Final question. HAS ANYONE SEE HIM? The man behind Ravage.

[terse cloak]

that too

[grim otter]

Ah ok cool

[tardy rune]

asymmetrical balance. US vics will outclass the USSR vics, but USSR has the better AT capabilities

[terse cloak]

they answered the balance question on newest rfi

[grim otter]

The RPG is better than the Law? Oh wait, the Law is made to disabled not destroy right?

[terse cloak]

rpg is reloadable, law was meant to be given to everybody if i remember right

[terse cloak]

they have similar penetration according to google

[grim otter]

I always saw the Law as having higher Pent. Mainly because it's FS

[terse cloak]

speed and fin stabilization doesnt affect the penetration of HEAT rounds, both are fin stablized anyways

[grim otter]

Yeah I just came back to say I made no sense at all.

[winter zephyr]

But the LAW does have higher pen in Reforger.

[terse cloak]

how much

[winter zephyr]

It is also more cost efficient when carrying fewer rounds and lighter.

And the US side has other ways to deal with vehicles, like the M60 with AP rounds (in experimental) and 40mm HEDP grenades.

[winter zephyr]

320 pen depth vs 300

[terse cloak]

pretty similar

[winter zephyr]

Also the kinetic BaseDamageEffect on the penetrator has a higher damage value on the LAW (509 vs. 485).

[grim otter]

Is there a COMPLETE tutorial on how to set up a server?

[winter zephyr]

Does this count? https://reforger.armaplatform.com/news/boot-camp-host-your-own-game

[grim otter]

No

A public Community server in Main Arma Reforger

Is there no actual tutorial for that?

Seems all the ones on YouTube leave stuff out.

[winter zephyr]

The wiki pages, then: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Server_Hosting

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

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Server_Management

[grim otter]

How about backend ports?

[winter zephyr]

And you can ask for help in #reforger_servers

[grim otter]

Oh okay. So you know where to find IP ports for client and network connection, server backend?

You guys should make a detailed step by step tutorial for server creation, and I'm talking from start to being in the server with other players.

[winter zephyr]

Ports are here: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Server_Config#Summary

[random cape]

Not publicly known, however BI was recently looking to hire Arma 4 artists for 1980s vehicles

[elder ore]

Yes yes and yes!

[terse cloak]

They said they are adding goodies to the reforger content for a4

[kindred lava]

@admin How can I apply to work or what things does bohemian require to work on development and programming?

[slow pagoda]

Look into bohemias homepage

[haughty sail]

As someone said. Maybe they hire someone to do 1980s stuff for poorer faction that use old soviet/us stuff. And the more richer countries/faction will have modern stuff. However i would be very happy if it was during the 80s

[gleaming holly]

Early/mid 90s US Army is the most aesthetic imo

[spark hound]

Mid to late 1970s?

[haughty sail]

2000s looks the best to me. But whatever period arma 4 take place in i will love it ( except if its futuristic )

[spark hound]

I love the Black Ops 2-esque shit from Arma3

[primal crest]

Quick question - is there any information on whether BI will allow monetization (https://www.bohemia.net/monetization) the same way they did for Arma 3 and DayZ? And whether or not there is a timeframe for that? (also as an addendum it appears that all approvals for A3/DayZ will expire at the end of the year, so I wonder what'll happen afterwards)

[half locust]

hopefully not

but there is no information in regards to any changes to allow it

[primal crest]

I mean, idk, I felt that the restrictions given are strict enough to ensure that monetization wasn't abused in A3, and it gave a decent income stream for communities to be able to afford their servers. I never ran into issues with servers on A3 that would be pay to win or full of microtransactions or something.

[half locust]

if you cannot afford a server, or you cannot have players voluntary donate towards a server, then maybe you shouldn't have a server to begin with....

[primal crest]

And ultimately having an income stream that isn't dependent on a relatively thin trickle of donations with no counter-value helps get communities of the ground and stimulates more mod development (particularly since most workshop stuff will be under APL)

[gleaming holly]

With how godawful the current under-the-table "monetization" of servers/gameplay is currently i wonder if officially sanctioned/moderated monetization would improve or worsen things

[half locust]

how does it stimulate mod development? As a mod developer i had a lot of headaches removing my mod from monetized servers (despite the hardprint EULA that clearly stated -> no monetization allowed) + BI rulebook that also stipulated you cannot monetize modes without explicit permission

[lucid tulip]

there really isnt much change in standard us army kit. into the 90s. mid 90s you see introduction of helmet clips for night vision goggles ( flip up/flip down) otherwise wearing the same stuff. late 90s maybe gradual introduction of M4/M4a1.

[half locust]

despite all that, the average behaviour was = will will use whatever mods we want, and will remove if anyone catches on

[lucid tulip]

though im sure people would want early to mid 90s just becuase SOF stuff like ranger body armor.

[primal crest]

That's an issue of rule enforcement, not how the rule was formulated. The communities I was part of were pretty good about not using mods without the appropriate licenses, and developing their own mods when they couldn't find a non-APL mod to fill the gap.

[gleaming holly]

Thats true, i just have a soft spot for Gulf War 1 style kit. I really like the transition period from cold war focus to counterinsurgency we got during the 90s-00s

[half locust]

good on them, the exceptions from my experience not the rule.

[primal crest]

I don't get this argument? Basically everyone should pay for servers out of pocket with no hope of breaking even? I doubt even the largest Reforger communities right now are able to sustain their servers long term based solely on community donations.

[lucid tulip]

yeah I think thats a good CDLC or expansion pack path for A4. Desert Strom 91, and 1993 gothic serpent, to have the sandbox painstchemes but retain alot of the retro stuff, with a bit of new stuff.

[spark hound]

Tbh I bet we'll have A4 set in early 90s from the get-go

[half locust]

yes. just like with mods. No one is forcing you to do either. You are allowed to receive voluntary donations, you are NOT allow to commercialize either.

you also do not need to break even, it is a hobby

if you cannot afford it, you are not to do it

[primal crest]

Yes, I understand the current EULA, thank you. In A3 and DayZ however you were allowed to monetize within a limited, and in my opinion, very reasonable scope. In my eyes that helped stimulate the community, meaning that people could run servers without dropping $1200 a year.

[winter zephyr]

Btw, how do we report things that break the EULA outside of things on the workshop (which can be easily reported)?

[half locust]

i strongly disagree. especially for dayz that is a cesspool in terms of anyone following any rules, and BI dropped the ball on that one long time ago

[half locust]

you report them via DM, MarioE is the main person to report it to, but most such reports are being fowarded / handled by any moderator around here just as well.

[primal crest]

I don't think anyone realistically expects having some return on investment running a video game community. But having the prospect of not having to sink only personal money into hosting undeniably will provide the opportunity to have more communities out there, and I genuinely don't understand how that can be a bad thing. Especially since if you dislike servers using the monetization program, you can join a community that doesn't use it.

the only real downside that I can imagine being an issue is misuse of mods not licensed for commercial use, as you mentioned earlier. At the same time you could argue that not having an official pathway to monetization will just lead to EULA-breaking or under the table monetization which is even less enforceable.

[half locust]

you already have that prospect, it is called volkuntary donations.

[primal crest]

We're discussing the Reforger EULA?!

[half locust]

i don't.

[spark hound]

Well continue I'm not in charge

[primal crest]

Okay, so what's the issue taking the logical step of going from having "Please donate" plastered all over the server to having "Please donate, you'll get a cool patch/cosmetic" on the server?

There isn't much more you can realistically do under the monetization rules

[winter zephyr]

What about the reverse? What is the issue taking the logical step from "donate to get cool thing" to "please donate" on the server?

[austere nimbus]

If people really like your server/community, they will donate (as I do).
Forcing people to pay to play a game is just bad management IMHO...

[spark hound]

While I agree, that's not the point he's making here.

[half locust]

let me ask you this -> how about mods get to be monetized? will that be a plus for the game and the users playing it? You get almost everything in pure colors, if you pay a monthly fee, you get the camo patterns, and maybe some other cool cosmetic thing

[primal crest]

Who said anything about forcing? The monetization rules clearly forbid payments for anything that'd affect gameplay. And while they allow payment for server access, that's not what I'm really talking about here.

[half locust]

because that is preciselly what it is happening

[primal crest]

Yeah, I can go on my favorite I&A server on A3, and join their patreon to get tiger camo, or a ghost hawk in tan. I don't see an issue with that, personally.

[austere nimbus]

Because it's exactly what happens under the current monetization rules (even when not allowed).
"Donate now and get extra stuff in-game, a dedicated slot on our servers and much more!"

[primal crest]

Where's the plus? In the fact that they still run the largest I&A community in Arma 3, for like a decade now

[half locust]

not what i have asked. image if all mods are commercilized the same way servers are

you want to access any camo patterns for everything except black colors, you pay a monthly fee

[primal crest]

Well, that's not how the monetization rules work, are they? It's hard to argue slippery slope when the rules haven't changed in the previous games since 2015.

[half locust]

unfortunatelly they have not changed, despite quite a bit of protest from a larger part of the community, yes

so where is the difference between a server selling cosmetic things to players and the actual author actually making these things doing the same?

making mods cost money btw, i pay more than 1200$ a year for software that allows me to create assets btw

[primal crest]

Well, in Arma the difference at least is that if the mod author wanted to do that, their only monetization option is a CDLC. But again, it's irrelevant to my point. You're discussing some hypothetical case while I'm discussing the monetization rules that already exist for the previous games.

[half locust]

i don't expect to break even, i can choose to do it or not, i don't expect someone else to pay it for me

[half locust]

emphasis on previous games where these rules had been disputed for as long as i can remember

back to your point -> there is no publicly made information in regards to BI allowing monetization of any sort for reforger

[primal crest]

I still strongly disagree with the point of view you presented, but I guess that's all a matter of opinion.
In any case, thank you for the answer.

[spark hound]

So the discussion is over?

[half locust]

it's fine, let's agree to disagree.

[half locust]

why?

[primal crest]

I'm more than happy to discuss it but I have to get to work, plus I don't want to spam the questions channel with an hours worth of arguments.

[spark hound]

I was just asking if you guys were done here.

[half locust]

and i asked you why are you asking?

you have a question in regards to reforger that you want to phrase and you were waiting out of politeness so you wouldn't interject by any chance?

[spark hound]

Cause of Avarita's statement, implying to me that the conversation had closed, thusly I inquired toward confirmation of the end of discussion. That is why I said "So the discussion is over".

[half locust]

so just curiosity then?

[spark hound]

In essence yes.

[half locust]

#reforger_discussion anytime here

[half locust]

kind of weird, but i guess i should have got used to it by now

[random cape]

The funny thing is, a moved-further-up version of this is what Arma 3 did... with the poorer factions being the users of 2000s gear, e.g. the AAF aesthetic and lore

[tepid torrent]

AAF was a good faction, liked their mix of british, russian, and german gear

[random cape]

I don't recall Russian gear for them... but yes, in A3 the idea was that the 2000s gear from Arma/Arma 2 was now outdated or long-since decommissioned for service equipment used by NATO forces (Armed Assault wiki)

Whereas the infamously tanky NATO and CSAT uniforms seem to be based on 'what if some of the Future Soldier-style ideas out there were real'

e.g. the alleged 'advances in enemy body armor' that were claimed in order to justify the Next Generation Squad Weapon program

[haughty sail]

Yeah exactly the same

[random cape]

NATO and CSAT armored up in different ways and up-calibered, AAF had to make do with 2000s plate carriers and 5.56 mm service rifles, albeit with 6.5 x 39 mm only for their LMGs

[sand verge]

Anyone know a good mod for hesco barriers?

[gentle fractal]

does anybody else have an issue where some keys are detected as pressing them repeatedly for as long as they're pressed? my change fire mode binding (on my mouse) won't just change once but it'll try to toggle on off on off.. very rapidly as long as I press the command so it's a bit of a roulette if I'll get what I want, thought it'd be a mouse thing but trying to assign another binding to Lctrl + spacebar and spacebar is being read twice so it's setting to Lctrl + 2xSpacebar every time

happens to other keys but not all of them, for instance, I tried setting inventory to "i" since that's what I had on arma 3 but whenever I try to open it it'll open and close instantly, thought it'd be some issue with assigning inventory to anything other than tab but I now think the binding works but shares the same issue as the other

[eager sandal]

That usually happens to me on high ping server. If I play offline in GM or solo conflict, it works fine.

[gentle fractal]

wasn't lagging, happens in SP too :S

[eager sandal]

Then no idea. Maybe ppl in #reforger_troubleshooting can help more.

[gentle fractal]

oh didn't realise there was a sepparate channel for that, mb, will move there

[steel yew]

Anyone know what mods have the green and tan ghille suits? I was in a server the other day and they were in the equipment box.

[wary badge]

Question, tacking system for reforger? To track players, k/d, objectives taken, etc?

[stray blade]

Think there is (was) bot for that already. Tracked k(ai, enemy, friendly)/d. Didnt track objectives tho. But i recall its name not

[wary badge]

Yea I'm sure I saw something like that a while ago too but not seen it since.
Would be nice to have a system in the game natively. I know coalition are working on a tracker alsombut it's bare bones at the moment.

Need something like it to be able to make rich leaderboards for the league tournaments

[stray blade]

BI was tracking stuff like that, part of short lived "career" system. Dunno what happend to that.

About the bot, i think (im not 100%) it was used by Steve-E on his server, perhaps ask him. It was working rather well and was persistent across restarts etc.

[wary badge]

Ah ok, maybe we will see them introduce the same or similar innthe future, hope not just in A4 haha

Ah cool yea I'll ask Steve-E then, see what he says.

Thanks marko you helpful bean 🍻

[wheat forge]

Where I can find pve for arma reforger

[terse cloak]

Server or gamemode?

[wheat forge]

Game mode

[wheat forge]

Game mode

[terse cloak]

Through the workshop, there are only a handful, combat ops everon and arland which are in the game and then escapists. There is also pve conflict

[wheat forge]

Workshop in game?

[terse cloak]

Yeah

Combat ops is already in the game but the rest you will find from there

[steel yew]

anyone use TH MOGADISHU CONFLICT mod, does this mod restrict the armor plate and the tan m110 rifle for some reason?

[lilac arch]

Hey all, I’m unsure if this is the right place to ask so apologies in advance, but does anyone know if there’s currently any mod available that allows things in the FIA Arsenal box to show in the US Arsenal box? Cheers.

[twilit junco]

yeah, system like this would be nice in A4 so veteran can unlock on his armband a military rank so others can see he knows what he is doing (if he doing something weird from noob perspective 😉 )

[strong frigate]

How can I move the install folder for Reforger mods?

[wary badge]

Yea exactly! Maybe we'll see a mod added by someone haah

[novel finch]

Guys
someone have the bug when you open the MAP the FPS go DOWN and only back if you restart the game ?

[foggy ridge]

are you on pc?

sometimes alt+enter fixes it for me, i dont know why

[fierce oar]

Hey guys, did anyone here edit conflict? I want to have 2 MOBs per side, maybe someone could share any ideas? If I just copypaste MOB, only one of them is used

[twilit junco]

i wonder which one of graphic options cause that, can you set everything to low and then see if its ok, and after that change one setting to see which one can cause it ?

[grizzled prism]

By setting two channels in my vanilla radio, I will listen to both channels at the same time or is it only the one selected? In game I see the notification that I'm listening to Platoon channel and squad channel together

[terse cloak]

both

[grizzled prism]

Fuck, no way to split the audio like with TFAR as one channel per ear?

[terse cloak]

no

[grizzled prism]

Thanks

[terse cloak]

you have 2 ears tho no?

[grizzled prism]

Yeah but I can distinguish one channel in one ear and the other and know from which group the message is coming from

[terse cloak]

it tells you the freq on the left of the screen

also you could have like 20 radios and listen to 40 channels

[rough sedge]

still having issues in GM I place an AI down

it makes the placed entity sound then immediately de spawns the character

[fresh lake]

Hi guys. Trying to find the Overthrow mod, but it's not coming up in the Workshop when I do a search. I'm running the experimental release, is that why I can't find it?

[foggy ridge]

This might be a stupid question but did you unpause the game at the top bar

[elder ore]

Probably? I'm on stable and it comes up fine.

[terse cloak]

It may not be on the exp

[fresh lake]

Thanks guys! That's what I figured

[rough sedge]

Not a stupid question 🙂 this is in a multilayer server where I don't have that option but now that you mention it acts similar to how that would be in single gm mode 🤔 also I am having trouble with your loadout mod functioning properly is there a specific load order I need to use for the bacon 🥓 loadout editor to function properly?

[foggy ridge]

No, load order shouldnt matter. There should be an error message at the top when it fails to do something.

[rough sedge]

Excellent then it seems there is a non fatal conflict your mod is in the server but it is not able to be used in game I'm not sure if that would generate the error your talking about @foggy ridge

[foggy ridge]

I can't help you if you don't give me any details about the issue. I need relevant errors and logs to help.

[hard niche]

goodday all maybe somebody can help me find doc of bacon s serve admin tool here in discord?

[foggy ridge]

what about the big QR code you see on the first page when you open admin tools ingame?

[hard niche]

i know im a noob but how do i open admin tools ingame installed reforger yesterday

[foggy ridge]

its above the logo on the pause menu

[hard niche]

okay i will try to find that ty so much

[timid dragon]

Hey can someone help me set up my arma reforger in vc?

[terse cloak]

step 1, download arma reforger, step 2 launch arma reforger. You are currently launching arma reforger server

[timid dragon]

Oh shit I'm stupid thanks bru

https://tenor.com/view/lil-yachty-drake-oprahs-bank-account-meme-laptop-gif-20803826

[neon star]

How can i make AI stand still in game master? I want them to stay in a trench, not run off. Even with the defensive order they still wonder out the trench

[cloud solstice]

shoot them, then they cant move

you need to download a mod that changed the command system or wait for the update

[fallow flume]

With the Enhance GM mod, I put the defense position on the spot I want the AI standing, and then set the radius to 1

[neon star]

Thanks

[loud ferry]

Are we going to be able to change certain binds to not require a double press action? I like to use single tap Q and E for toggle lean with the standard hold action unbound.

[queen oxide]

Any new update on a PS version of the game?

[spark hound]

Nope

Best to not wait on it.

[terse cloak]

Check pins of this channel, recently it was said they are looking at it if i remember right

[spark hound]

It's probably going to be watered down because of little mod tolerance on Sony's part

[queen oxide]

The developers had plans 7 months ago for a PS release, but still no update on their plans

[terse cloak]

i dont think we will hear anything new anytime soon.

[queen oxide]

Do you think Sony is being difficult

[terse cloak]

dunno

[slow pagoda]

theyll tell when theres more to tell

[terse cloak]

and you will know

[scenic solstice]

Why is the radio selection doesn't work mid game? Although it works when I initially joined a server.

[terse cloak]

you are most likely bugged, open the map and access the commanding wheel and then get out of the map and it should work

[scenic solstice]

Thanks for the advice, I'll will say if it won't work.

[scenic solstice]

It works!

[night wolf]

A question for the Devs/Mods - where do you guys prefer to receive feedback? The feedback tracker or here in Discord or both?

[lament kite]

I think devs prefer feedback here: https://feedback.bistudio.com/

[fresh lake]

Combat Ops doesn't seem to persist for me when I load in. Is this a known issue or something on my end? Seems to be the case for experimental and main.

[terse cloak]

Yeah it doesnt save if i remember right

[fresh lake]

ok thanks. kinda sucks, esp since Overthrow seems to persist without issue.

[elder ore]

That is something I noticed too. It would be cool if it did, but all things considered it wouldn't be worth their time to do (priorities).

[thorn furnace]

lol. Hundreds of hours and I never noticed an elevator. Where is it?

[elder ore]

Furniture factory.
Edit:
I also died a little when I found that the water slide's ladder doesn't work. Cmon BIS!

[terse cloak]

Bi

[desert pike]

Anyone know how to use the parachute on console?

[foggy ridge]

equip it, start falling, press jump button

[desert pike]

Thanks lol🥴

[agile needle]

I cannot select the top option, when I move my mouse around it just stays on the bottom one, had this issue for ages, anyone know how to fix?

[earnest spindle]

Right click instead of left clicking

[azure meteor]

How does the medical pack work? Can it spawn medical items on its own (so it acts like a supply battery that converts supplies into medical items)? If so how do you "fill" the bag

[terse cloak]

Have it near a supply source

And you have it in your hand, then look at patient near a ambulance or medical spot and treat him

[prisma zealot]

Is there a smaller group of like 30 guys that run ops against Ai? Need a group that isn't 128 guys with 50 of them goofing off.

[slow pagoda]

#looking_for_unit could be place for you to look or #communities_arma3

[heady bridge]

Hey peeps. How do I tell which server I joined? I'm often online before my friends and will hop onto whatever random server is available, but I sometimes forget its name by the time my friends come online.

[eager sandal]

There supposed to be recently played server tab at the top right?

[twilit junco]

tell your friend to join you via steam (be online so friend can see you playing on his game tab, then open steam chat, right click on his account profile, join game, and it will start arma and join the same server you are already playing, if full, dont close game, alt+tab to steam chat, join game again)

[heady bridge]

I'm referring to being able to share details without disconnecting.

[heady bridge]

gotcha. not the best approach, but one way to do it.

🤞🏻 server queueing becomes a thing soon

[azure meteor]

so it drains supplies from a source in the area?

Would it be a good plan to fill up an ambulance car with supplies?

[terse cloak]

I think the healing part doesnt use supplies but if you wanna get some bandages, morphine, saline then yes. Also ambulance allows you to take medical stuff out of it. Ambulance spawns with 40 supplie

[winter zephyr]

Ambulances also allow healing to full, iirc. Along with the field hospital.

[azure meteor]

what does that mean?

[terse cloak]

That you can get radio backpacks from the back if u got the supplies

[fierce oar]

Hey guys! Any ideas how to:
a. restrict occupying pilot/copilot seats to a pilot role only (based on loadout name, some item in inventory or any other way)
b. add some "change role" menu to some prefabs like arsenal, MHQ, helis/armor, so players don't have to respawn to change loadouts/roles

[azure meteor]

what does refresh mean? If I take this truck to a random location and a player spawns a gun from its trunk, what happens to the supply in the car?

[terse cloak]

The type of truck, determines what you can take out, items have costs shown

[terse cloak]

Refresh in what way?

[violet lava]

Is the new update going to fix the Arma vision radio glitch?

[sage saddle]

Random question, does anybody know how to find out elevation? Or how many meters the contour lines are, pls n’ thank you.

[sage saddle]

They’re fixing a lot of bugs, it’ll prolly be fixed but will introduce a heap more. Yk, the usual.

[grim dawn]

some peaks in the area will have a height marker on them (looks like a downward chevron that will help you estimate

[sage saddle]

Honestly knew about this, but you just made me rethink my question and realize division is a thing. Thx my G

[twin axle]

how do you completely restart the mission on the server

[elder ore]

Anyone else feel like the mi-8 is too.. twitchy? I'm having trouble hovering, and it keeps trying to..hmm.. swing back and forth?
For a big, heavy helicopter it shouldn't be so sensitive? It flies fine but slow speed maneuvering is kinda bad.

[violet lava]

It’s supposed to be doing that

It’s supposed to be slow and since it’s heavy in the back it’s going to be swinging back

[grim dawn]

keyboard or xbox/joystick controls? That would be your answer

if its xbox, unsure... But PC it makes sense because you don't have a linear control (unless you're using a linear keyboard)

I've never flown with my mouse because its 10x worse imo, but you might consider dropping your mouse sensitivity & increasing DPI or other combos of that just to get a high-fidelity slow movement

[near holly]

is there a way I can export a modlist from a server that I don't own?

[foggy ridge]

dm me the server ill get it for ya

[elder ore]

Keyboard. My mouse isn't working with turrets and helicopters.
I haven't heard good things about joystick support.
There's no weight in the back. It's just impossible to keep it steady trying to hover. It's like it's trying to lean back like the way it sits on the ground.
And sometimes my pilot doesn't even grab the stick and collective. Just rests his hands on his lap.. ffs I'm sure these are bugs.

[grim dawn]

Experimental branch? I figure the hands on lap is a visual bug?

Unsure about joystick support myself, check gamelplay settings for supporting mouse input with helicopters. I am unsure why your mouse wouldn't work with turrets though, do you have a controller or other non-keyboard/mouse input devices plugged in?

If so, I'd consider unpluging & restarting the game to test in gamemaster. I have played other games where having a joystick/controller/&c would cause some input problems. Additionally, i've never used it myself, but I know steam does an input layer sometimes to let you abstract inputs and use a contorller in games that wouldn't normally support controller input(or had notably bad support)

[azure flume]

im wandering around in the Reforger Tools section. and wondered if we couldn't have all those assets in the Ingame GM Browser? how would i do that? im really new on modding and its all quite alien to me but im willing to learn it

[half locust]

which assets?

[stable topaz]

There's a few that are weirdly absent, such as the concrete bunkers

[half locust]

you can create your own prefabs https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Prop_Creation#Editor_integration

[elder ore]

Does vehicle cargo weight affect vehicle performance?
I should probably ask in the config section but I was wondering if fitting 7 people in a uaz would do anything.

[terse cloak]

yeh i think so

[stray blade]

Dont think cargo mass does anything to vehicle performance

[terse cloak]

doesnt it change handling?

[stray blade]

I never noticed any change or engine struggles while doing supply runs up to pennants pass

In regards of supplies/passengers i carried

[terse cloak]

but i mean with passengers, not supply

[stray blade]

Imean 70-100 kg worth of human or 5t of supplies should make a diffrence. And in my observation it doesnt.

[grim dawn]

I think the supply changes fuel drain?

I was in a UAZ full of landmines & supplies and we were refueling fairly often

[woeful junco]

yeah im pretty sure that it doesnt maybe some dev can say

[winter zephyr]

UAZ (among others) is also just super inefficient with default settings. If you are going full throttle and especially if you are revving high, you empty the tank fast.

[timid dragon]

Does anyone know how to use the helmet cam mod on Arma Reforger

[rose valley]

Is it for game master only?

[timid dragon]

idk

[elder ore]

Yeah don't think it does.

Reason I asked is all the entries they have like axles, clutch, etc.
Some dev must be a real gear head to do all this. Like the ural truck is 6x6. You can see beneath the model but its also in config. Really cool.

[tepid torrent]

I would like it to though!

would make hills a bit more interesting... going up or down

[stray blade]

Muh brakes failed!

[elder ore]

The devs planned many things.
Roll up/down windows, windshield wipers, engage/disengage all wheel drive, etc.
One thing that disappointed me was I started the engine, released the handbrake and thought it was cool that they did this, then realised you don't have to do any of that and can just press W... I wish they changed that, so you have to press R and tap the space bar once to get going.

[stray blade]

Set drive assist to none in game options

[tepid torrent]

you got game on the wrong settings man, you need to set it to no driver assist through gameplay settings like marko mentioned, then you get full experience

[grim dawn]

no drive assist is some of the most fun. unfortunate that American vics are automatic for the most part. Driving in manual has some nice perks

just wish I could control throttle on PC

[winter zephyr]

Also pretty cool that wet surfaces have less grip, and it seems that locking up the brakes is a thing.

[verbal mesa]

They don't actually drive 6x6. There is code for locked and open differentials but they are all actually limited slip diffs which make all power in a vehicle transmit to the slipping tire. The ability to switch the differential to 4-low and lock the diffs would really make it special

[verbal mesa]

No ABS in vehicles so when you hit the brakes you cannot turn the wheel. It is actually better to pump the brakes in certain situations

But diff lockers would be incredible. They have some base script for it and the diff range selector has bones in the jeep atleast

[winter zephyr]

Pretty sure controllers have analog braking, so that's the best way to do it.

[elder ore]

In the settings the power was spread 30% front, 35% middle and 35% rear axles. Does this setting not do anything?

[true reef]

Hi! Is there a simple way to fix how a person holds this bayonet? Its base is an M9 pistol, I am ok with hand position, but want to rotate the bayonet 90 degrees.

[woeful junco]

im pretty sure you have to rotate the orgin axis by 90 degrees. but its better to ask in the enfusion section

[verbal mesa]

Locked differentials have power evenly spread across each axle but it messes with your turn radius. LSD allows you to drive at higher speeds and turn but causes your slipping tire to be the only one that's getting power. The opposite of what you want for offroading. All axles are set to LSD in the workbench, I checked it the other day but there are options for open and locked differentials.

[ancient rapids]

.... For about half a second there I thought you were going on about LSD the acid.... LOL! 🤦‍♂️

(I can drive faster on acid? LOL!) Kids, dont do drugs m'kay!?

[verbal mesa]

Hahahahahaha!

Limited slip differential 😛

[true reef]

Thanks for the idea!

[gentle fractal]

Maybe at some point, wonder why did they bother with it, I mean, no one would have asked for LSD's (well asides from the obvious) in arma, yet here we are, and I sure am enjoying the new vehicle handling, but seems quite the overkill. That being said, I can't wait till someone mods setups and ffb into the game then we can enjoy Military base-Beauregard stage of Rally Aarland

NOW we need a karts DLC ha

[elder ore]

I know and saw the settings but didn't try to lock the difs so idk if they do anything.
What I meant was the axels and transmission. 4x4, 6x6, etc.
Gonna take some time to see if changing things does anything or not.

[fresh lake]

Any Combat Ops type scenario that has a persistent save? I've seen mention of such a mod, but not seeing it in the Workshop.

[still peak]

How does channel 48 work? Anything special about it?

[snow fossil]

Isnt that long range?

[still peak]

The backpack radio is longer range, not the channel.

48 may be even longer range than just running another channel on the backpack though. Idk. That's why I'm asking.

[snow fossil]

I see

[terse cloak]

48 is platoon channel for us, 42 is for russians

48 doesnt do anything really

[elder ore]

So what are the actual ranges for all the radios?
I don't understand radios in the game. There are static radios in the tools, and vehicles should have radios (some do in config).

[terse cloak]

field manual tells you the range, but the conflict radio towers amplify the radios.

i think the radio backpack had only 1km difference

[still peak]

Why would it be the default on russian radio backpacks?

[terse cloak]

Prolly a bug

[elder ore]

Thanks, I'll check it out. I've been living in the editor since I got reforger so I forgot the field manual exists.

[still peak]

Huh, never played on US before so didn't realize. Their backpack defaults to 48 and empty, while the Soviet one defaults to 42 and 48, however if you cycle off the 48 channel on the Soviet backpack you can't access it again (also never tried before). You can talk to other Soviet players on 48, however they weren't really interested in helping learn whether they were actually talking on 48 or if to them they were talking on 42 (however I assume they were on 48 and both had backpacks as well).

[timid dragon]

anyone know how i fix this?

[timid dragon]

I can't launch the Fallujah Map or Mogadishu and it says session error can anyone tell me how to fix this?

[sand verge]

im getting the same thing

i tried joining other servers and same thing kept popping up

[fierce crescent]

hey, haven't got arma reforger but i'm wondering if the helicopters (recently released on reforger i believe?) controls have gotten more realistic?

coming from dcs and arma 3 it'd be nice to see realistic helicopter handling with collective and rotor torque simulated for example

[magic skiff]

Good morning guys, would anyone think adding elevation numbers to the map on reforger like in arma 3, would be helpful?

[grim dawn]

There are elevation markers on peaks

[runic olive]

Does anyone know when tf the update is dropping?

[terse cloak]

find out tomorrow

[cerulean token]

Was the ragdoll effect when jumping out of vehicles in the initial experimental release unintended ? It's no longer present.

[winter zephyr]

Huh, that does sound like a regression

And I have confirmed that it is no longer present.

[lost moon]

Has there been any public acknowledgment from the devs about the major server outages ?

[foggy ridge]

dont think so

[odd gate]

is there a way to import a modlist json/command line in a new mod preset?

not sure if I'm just being dense but can't seem to find it in game

[stray blade]

No. Just join server that has said mods

[near holly]

Realistic application of external forces on exposed occupants of vehicles experiencing unintended orientation changes

What does this actually mean in game?

[foggy ridge]

yeet out of open vehicle when you flip

[near holly]

Hahahah that's wild

[stable topaz]

Rapid Unscheduled Disembarkation

[tawny vector]

We are aware of an issue causing some problems with the Workshop since last night. We're still working on a fix.

As for major server outages, could you please provide more information about what you're experiencing?

[foggy ridge]

those workshop outages prevent servers from starting

[foggy steppe]

will there be an increase in the number of slots to 64 in the near future?

[winter zephyr]

You mean on official servers? They've said they continually evaluate whether raising the caps is viable.

[worldly ermine]

So I tried the AI driving in Game Master mod and it's pretty nice, especially with cycle waypoints. But at every move order waypoint they do a full stop then they continue. Is there a way to place a waypoint which they just drive through?

[clever swallow]

anyone know how to make the AI drive a vehicle in this new update? We cant seem to get it to work?

[terse cloak]

should be a youtube guide for it

[clever swallow]

roger ill take a look and see what i can find thank you

[clever swallow]

im seeing a video on how to command them to drive from on the ground, but not how to order them to drive from gamemaster

[terse cloak]

just select them and tell them to move

[clever swallow]

yea thats what im doing, they dont do anything but sit there in the vehicle, not sure whats goin on with that

[terse cloak]

in the driver seat?

[clever swallow]

yup

[terse cloak]

is there any combat nearby?

[clever swallow]

the brake lights on the vehicle turn on once i order them to move, but nothing else happens

[clever swallow]

no combat nearby

[terse cloak]

hmm

[clever swallow]

interesting, it worked on vanilla with 0 mods loaded, so must be a mod that it doesnt work with

yup, seems like if the server is loaded on a modded map (im using Everon Xtra), the drivable AI does not work

[terse cloak]

yeah the modder needs to add somethings for ai driving to work

[clever swallow]

understood, thank you for the feedback and the assistance!

[frosty kite]

How do you get the officers hat in conflict. I can’t find it in the soviet box

[terse cloak]

not there

[midnight flume]

Are mortars still expected to come to the game

[copper obsidian]

How can I give orders to AI ?

In xbox

[drifting frost]

Check roadmap on website

[vivid tundra]

Could always play on powerbits. Basically like official except there is no FIA ai which makes it run better imo

[midnight flume]

How do you make a server on xbox

Like a private server

[sand verge]

Go up to an AI that isn’t recruited, hold left bumper and tap inventory button and it should give you a scroll wheel to recruit, if that doesn’t work click one of the random scroll wheel options and reopen

[drifting frost]

You need a PC for servers or pay alot for server hosting

[foggy ridge]

idk about a lot

[half locust]

try without any mods first

[spark hound]

My sir, did you read what he said

[spark hound]

Did you delete it or him?

[half locust]

? why would i delete it?

[spark hound]

Idk

It was a stupid question

Anywho

[cold rivet]

Anyone having input issues when playing with both mnk and controller this update?

[twilit junco]

yeah, sometimes. also seems vehicles can be broken, you need to switch to manual changing gear (turn off vehicle assistance) to move it forward

[elder ore]

I think klamacz was wrong about this one.. what do you guys think? Yes or no?

[terse cloak]

wrong in what way

[elder ore]

He said no when someone asked for it. I think its worth it. Also removing bayonets from characters that cant use them like machine gunners, grenadiers, AR, etc.

[grim dawn]

said no when someone asked for what

I personally wish thst when I bought gear at an arsenal it didn't have anything inside of it. I could buy the bayonet if I wanted... I've ended up with extra bayonets more than s few times because I affix mine before changing clothes in conflict

[elder ore]

I can't be more obvious than this sry..

[magic pebble]

You can definitely be more obvious than this

[drifting frost]

anyone know if this mod still works?
https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/5EE135CE07217857-TalkingonRadioBeeps

[foggy ridge]

I love this guys workshop mod images

[vivid mantle]

The weird thing is that BI at some point made a beep system for the radio but didnt implement it fully.
Or it might have been at launch like a few other cool features but were later removed

[winter zephyr]

I imagine part of that is the radios in-game wouldn't have that feature IRL.

[spark hound]

Will the forced dismount with X ever get fixed?

[terse cloak]

wdym

[woeful junco]

beeps be annoying

[deft fjord]

do we know if there will ever be HOTAS or Sim Wheel support? it doesn’t seem like features of that nature are included in the roadmap so i’m just curious if anyone knows.

[spark hound]

Pre 1.1 you could force AI to get out by hitting X on squads, individual AI, or whole vehicles

[terse cloak]

But yes on Xbox

[drifting frost]

Does anyone know why the WCS_helicopter mod has the rocket pods available locally, but when loaded onto a server there are no longer any rocket pods?

[frail sequoia]

Can't a edit scenario properties on GM anyonr know how to fix this

[drowsy geode]

hey I was wearing a US grenadier armor while playing soviet on official conflict server and all of sudden it turned into a belt & lost all the gear on it, new bug?

[gaunt lark]

anyone else not have their low ready button work really? It worked for a few minutes then stopped

also, I have a problem on my dedicated server of dropped weapons despawning after 20 seconds or so and bodies despawning after maybe 2 - 3 minutes, where should I ask for more help in regards to that?

[odd ridge]

does anyone know if they added any new settings for helicopters or plan to do it like new sensitivity settings?

[fading eagle]

You guys think a tournament on arma reforger might be interesting?

[sullen path]

Yeah it’s been busted for me as well.

[dim quiver]

yea, it hasnt worked at all since 1.2 came out on experimental and still doesnt work on the "stable" game

[elder ore]

Low ready is kind of pointless anyway and the new animations that prevent your gun's barrel from clipping through stuff are better than low ready.

[dim quiver]

it looks cool though

also you walk faster when low ready-ing

[vivid mantle]

Some of them definitely have a squelch in real life.

[elder ore]

Its dumb because you cant shoot in low ready, and most ppl can't even tell if you are in low ready or not. I rather be able to shoot instantly than walk 2% faster and look.. cool?

[dim quiver]

nuh uh

[azure meteor]

question for devs: Will the btr70 get working viewports so the drive can look out of the vehicle without having to open the front hatch?

[azure meteor]

its not pointless, it preserves stamina. Also it allows me to appear relaxed and not having the gun always pointing forward like in a casual fps

[sullen path]

The low ready mode was one of those cool little immersion things that was added to reforger. I miss be able to use it and would hate to see it go altogether. I still want a proper pistol holster animation/state for the AI as well.

[terse cloak]

it hasnt been removed, its bugged

[fierce oar]

How can I apply/trigger visual effects like vignette, blur and stuff in tools to see all of them?

[verbal mesa]

Yea it's a bug that has been ignored in experimental. It stops working once you crouch

[verbal mesa]

It's actually effective too because you are faster and still can shoot

[gaunt lark]

Well I feel better knowing it's not just me in regards to the low ready bug

[foggy steppe]

Is the problem with the servers not so critical as to require rolling back the release to version 1.1?

[vestal meteor]

how do i spawn none game master vehicles in my game ?
do i really have to create a mod with mods to play some of the modded cars?

[gaunt lark]

I really have a problem of dropped weapons and bodies despawning too fast, is there a way I can make them last longer? They despawn after less than a minute and the server is for 6 people at most. Are there any mods that could cause it to be this fast?

[drifting frost]

Is it possible to get bohemia to send you an uncompiled mod you published if you lost the original files to the mod?

[limpid shell]

anyone know of any PVE scenarios updated and using AI with vehicles yet?

[cold mist]

I noticed it wasn’t gone but just bugged out in public servers

In private game master it works fine

[half locust]

no, because you don’t publish it uncompiled to begin with

[celest granite]

what modal of btr-70 do we have in game

[candid terrace]

How come all the vehicles have like 0 torque?

Unless your in reverse then they’re magical

[haughty sail]

For the achievement "5k supplies" i need to drop them in command tent only ? cause i dropped a part on the arsenal they dont seem to be counted

[spark hound]

Just the standard BTR-70

[celest granite]

I'm sure it's the 1984 model

[spark hound]

Well it's not a P or a B or smth

[elder ore]

I noticed them having little power going up not very steep inclines, and no there was no mud.

[candid terrace]

Yea, they can barely go up slight hills, even paved ones.

[sullen path]

Unfortunately it’s bugged there as well. I only play offline in 'singleplayer', the issue is present here as well

[drifting frost]

So is it possible to recover the original files using the same account you published it with?

Cause it will all just be locked

[half locust]

depends on the files. xob and textures surely nope. You never upload the raw files anyways

[drifting frost]

So if an author of a mod had a total drive failure and had no way to recover his original files for his work, there is no way to fully recover the files from his already uploaded work on the workshop even though he can still log in with the same account used to publish it to begin with?

[half locust]

yes. also, one shouldn’t keep important files on a personal disk drive anyway in this day and age. There are git / svn repros available for peanuts, same with cloud storage. Also NAS solutions are awesome if you want a self storage alternative.

[drifting frost]

One simply can't just make a request from the Bohemia team for the files that were uploaded? Mistakes can happen and I'm sure it wouldn't be a big deal to make this a feature through the workshop account system on the website anyways

Not everyone has money for all that either lol

[half locust]

As i previously said raw files are never published (pngs, tgas, fbxs etc). Just the files compiled and compressed by enfusion.

Not sure how BI could provide someone with the raw files and these raw files are never published to begin with

[drifting frost]

Well how do other people download the custom textures and such if it's not possible? Wouldn't those textures just not download at all for others?

[half locust]

A unlimited cloud solution is 10euro/month. A git repro hosted on amazon is about 3euro a month. Not sure how one cannot afford that

[half locust]

Not sure what you mean by that. Who downloads what from where?

[drifting frost]

You stated that textures are not uploaded upon publishing but if other people subscribe to the mod, they download the textures for say something like a custom camo for uniforms and such.

[half locust]

re-texturing right now means you will screenshot the original texture in workshop, then use that as base for whatever you wanna do using 2d raster software such as photoshop

[half locust]

original raw files are not uploaded. reforger’s file format is compressed, the original tiff or tga or png is not, hence the size difference

just like with former .paa files for RV engine

[drifting frost]

Ah okay now I understand sorry

[half locust]

example. The svn git for a 5gb published mod is about 25gb-30gb worth of data.

that includes the 5gb compressed files and another 20-25gb of exported files.

The raw files are way bigger anyways (the editable ones, be it blender or max ir whatever files, the substance painter ones are about 1-5gb for each individual mesh)

not aure about things like script files or mission files, i guess these could indeed be recovered at some point, not sure it be has the capability to provide individual users with their files in an unlocked fashion. Just for reference, no matter where the files where uploaded from (in terms of account) these files are always locked if downloaded by the same account that published it on the workshop anyways.

[drifting frost]

Is it possible to make it a feature that logging in to the author account can unlock the file for editing if the mod doesn't include any textures?

[half locust]

what good would that do?

why would there be a feature that can be abused when there the author(s) has all the necessary means to save his work files safe by using any of the available solutions for backup/storage

[drifting frost]

What do you mean by can be abused?

[cold mist]

Weird i don’t even know how you mess that up

[half locust]

not gonna go into details on this discord about how such a system can be abused…

[sand verge]

Question: Does BI get the crash reports when the crash reporter is started on a dedicated server?
Or "Sending Request..." just mean its created the crash report and it resides locally on the server.
Just want to make sure y'all are getting these, if not I will ensure I open a feedticket and send them.

[waxen cave]

im having an issue where i delete the mod but it stays no matter what i do

[cold mist]

Pretty sure the only solution to that is wiping the saved data

At least thats what me and my friend did when i had a console

[waxen cave]

found out how but thanks tho

[zinc tapir]

Is it just me or Reforger doesn't have Steam Workshop support?

[terse cloak]

ye, it has its own workshop

[zinc tapir]

Can't wait for it to download

[devout ocean]

Hi, I'm wondering how can i get black/grey/blue sweater? (like the yellow one that ru forces have) for us forces? I saw couple of dudes having them and I can't figure out how to get them, it was official conflict server with no mods, is there a way to run some visual mod or how is this possible pls?

[sullen path]

Was something changed with the clouds? Im getting a significant perfomance hit now when more clouds are present. Clear skies has the highest FPS and rain the lowest. I don't remember there being a noticeable FPS loss previously.

[viral sable]

How do i get perms to gamemaster in my own hosted server

[coarse lark]

#login "yourpassword" in global chat

has anyone had any luck getting the AI to follow them in a Vehicle. So im driving in front and they follow. They keep getting out when i tell them to follow.

[lilac cobalt]

So i'm having trouble and i can't find the answer online. Since the 1.2 update im unable to load modded scenarios from the workshop on my GTX server.

[magic skiff]

is there any info why these crashes are happening? and when it will be fixed?

[drifting frost]

Does the acemod team even have a mod thread on here?

[drowsy geode]

anyone else notice their soviet explosives despawning after awhile inside car trunks?

[drifting frost]

When the game clear entities script initiates, it removes both soviet and US demolition charges from inventory spaces

[devout ocean]

US explosives disappear when you drop and pick up the gear they're in

[trim patio]

Whenever I get any air in a ground vehicle my game will lag my car around and start to roll over then I will teleport back to where the jump started at a standstill like I had never moved, is this a known bug and if so how do I fix it?

[fair wraith]

Is anyone else having trouble with Server Admin Tools?

[foggy ridge]

I've cleared that mod for use, it would help if you actually specified what the problem is

[lucid tulip]

i guess this is how you know how good your AP ammo is. M61 belts for m60 go right through the back plates as well

[viral sable]

tbf those vests really shouldnt be stopping half the shit they get hit by

[celest granite]

as it should

[lucid tulip]

No what I mean is 6b3 will be penetrated by different ammo types but it'll will only go through front plate. First time I'd seen ammo go through front plate, human body and still have enough energy left to exit back plate.

[drifting frost]

Anyone know how easy it is to make a vanilla vehicle capable of going like 500km/hr for server use?

[haughty sail]

The bug in the map reading tutorial still there ? Where we need to place 023-017 marker ?

[grim dawn]

is the bug new? I completed that tutorial a month or two ago without problems

[mild sandal]

is there any way to reset official servers? Tried to play coop mission there but all the objectives were alreayd completed and the game did not finish

[serene bridge]

Hey guys, long-time Arma player here. Just bought and booted up reforger. I'm getting lower than expected frames, even at the lowest of low graphics settings. It seems like my CPU and GPU utilization are low (i7 6700k and GTX 1070). GPU utilization is actually higher at lower graphics settings. Anyone have an idea whats going on? I would have expected to get good frames like I do in DayZ considering the same engine.

[terse cloak]

dayz and reforger dont have the same version of engine tho

ur using recommended specs which are on the lower end.

how much fps are you getting

[serene bridge]

So i restarted my PC. at the training firing range on high getting 60-80 now. at the main base 40-50. slightly better than before. it seems like my utilization for both CPU and GPU have gone up and the game is actually using them

I will try multiplayer later. Still more ultization than Arma 3 haha

[terse cloak]

bro ur getting fine fps

[serene bridge]

Yeah much improved

[terse cloak]

you have no problems

[cloud solstice]

i got 13fps on DARK GRU and 25fps on WCS

[terse cloak]

modded servers have worse performance

[cloud solstice]

which is the average for me, its goes lower

[foggy ridge]

on 1.2 I would say modded servers run faster because nitrado uses dog water processors, and the update made server processor usage worse

[still rain]

Being curious , why didn't Reforger had map drawing tech with so called "freehand" like we had in Arma3? It would be good
