reforger_questions

[hoary nacelle]

What action is that? Is that heli start / stop?

[quartz lance]

Nope it's "OpenCommandMenu".

[hoary nacelle]

ahh

[quartz lance]

It was mainly about the "hold" filter.

[hoary nacelle]

Yes that is what I was looking to do is swap the filterpreset, but apparently its not in the conf

[quartz lance]

It is in "Settings > Controls > Helicopter"
There is this thing very top, where you can toggle between different presets for different types like vehicle, character etc. and one is helicopter.

Also Start/Stop engine.

ActionManager "{5E9C373393563478}" {
 Actions {
Action HelicopterEngineStart {
   InputSource InputSourceSum "{69047E70D1C109B1}" {
    Sources {
     InputSourceValue "{69047E70D1C177C3}" {
      FilterPreset "hold"
      Input "keyboard:KC_Q"
     }
    }
   }
  }
  Action HelicopterEngineStop {
   InputSource InputSourceSum "{69047E70FEC77DB8}" {
    Sources {
     InputSourceValue "{69047E70FEC77B35}" {
      FilterPreset "click"
      Input "keyboard:KC_Q"
     }
    }
   }
  }
 }
}

[hoary nacelle]

Yes I know where the settings are in the game menu, but I don't see an action helicopterenginestart and stop in any of the conf files. Which file did you get the above?

I found it

[quartz lance]

Well i did change it in-game to Q key, so it did automatically write the changes into my InputUserSettings.conf
As soon as you change any default key in the in-game settings it will be listed in InputUserSettings.conf.

[hoary nacelle]

yes it dont show up unless you change the default

Yes it wont let you change the hold regardless of what key you choose

its hardcoded to always require HOLD (key) to start engine

[quartz lance]

Even if you remove the FilterPreset "hold" or change it to FilterPreset "click"?

[hoary nacelle]

right

Really the only settings I don't like in this game. Makes more sense to HOLD to stop engine to prevent accidental engine stops from a key getting bumped. Even with the default (L-Ctrl R) to stop engine, I am going bind that to one button. I just moved it to a button that is less likely to get accidentally bumped for now.

[quartz lance]

Yes looks like it can't be changed to press instead of hold.

[hoary nacelle]

Not a huge deal but option would be nice. I fired up ARMA 3 for the first time in probably a year and the control options, while they are vast and can get confusing, are nice to have. But the simplicity of Reforger controls is also nice.

[winter zephyr]

It used to be more significant, since engine start time was not fixed.

[floral forge]

I've reinstalled to Reforger but I'm stuck in freelook everytime I try to fly a helicopter

I pressed ALT once to get out of locked freelook but it doesn't work, for a second it does then it reverts back, how do I fix it

[junior wasp]

there’s a setting for that

[hoary nacelle]

The only way I know to disable freelook is by having mouse aircraft control. Enable in Gameplay > Controls This will require you to hold ALT to look around.

[floral forge]

oh wow, why is that not enabled by default, thanks it fixed my issue

[hoary nacelle]

The need to same thing in wheeled vehicles, particularly for people with head tracking who don't need the mouse changing their view.

[topaz pecan]

Is the 50 gb space update for console out?

[glass trellis]

For experimental only rn

[topaz pecan]

Hopefully it will be added it’s really needed

[glass trellis]

It will be added to stable with the 1.7 update

[whole turtle]

https://feedback.bistudio.com/T197409
please, devs. fix this simple mistake for 1.7. still present in Exp. branch. I don't know if it messes anything up, but broken inheritance can't be good. Damage Manager for characters.

[cerulean token]

Does the new feedback tracker beta need an entirely new account? I cant log in with my usual one

[hoary nacelle]

Is there a link to the new feedback tracker?

[magic musk]

Do yall plan to add shooting in vehicles particularly helicopters like Arma 3

[glass trellis]

Not coming

[magic musk]

How do u know ?

[glass trellis]

Klamacz said so somewhere

[magic musk]

They fr should just unban the drive by mod

[terse cloak]

The guy who made the mod got banned for another mod which basically would tank the server fps and so on, on command and due to that all of his work was banned.

[magic musk]

Ik they should unban the mod

[terse cloak]

it wont happen ever

[terse cloak]

the guy got permad

[slow pagoda]

Bans lose their meaning in that way. As unfortunate as it can be if a modder gets full ban like that.

[magic musk]

Why can I have 100+ ppl in a modded conflict server and it run fine

Vs when I have 100 ppl in a gm server it runs bad

[half locust]

not accurate

[half locust]

not going to happen

[maiden yarrow]

Can some answers something for me

[half locust]

if you ask that maybe

[maiden yarrow]

Does anyone know about scripting

[half locust]

ask the question you have

stop asking generic things please

#enfusion_scripting btw for scripting questions

[maiden yarrow]

@half locust sorry for bothering u

[half locust]

it’s not a bother - but don’t ask to ask, just ask what you require.

asking if anyone knows scripting is rhetoric, considering this is the official discord server that also has a lot of channels for modding questions for each individual topic

[serene dove]

Does anyone know if there is a way to do a death match mode? Even just a scoreboard in discord or something could work.

It’s for halo mods if that matters.

There will be GMs to manage it all,

[steel yew]

Question on mods that’s state outdated, do they simply not work anymore and shouldn’t be bothered to install?

[minor aurora]

Hi Guys how can i turn off / on lights in arma reforger without break it using ( LightEntity ) ?

[gleaming holly]

Not necessarily, although outdated mods are less likely to work properly with the current game version, if they work at all

[inner isle]

why do I have to download mods every time I rejoin a server, are they like constantly adding 20 mods every 30 minutes 😭 ?

[neat trout]

Depends on what the mod is some things in the background modding wise have changed if it's something like a faction override probably will work but some things like sounds or weapons about 50/50 if it's not a huge download I'd say try it if it works good if not delete it some mods break on updates some don't

[wind lake]

Can someone explain to me why consoles can’t see enemy players or Ai any further than 550 meters vs PC players that can see 1200+ meters. I’ve tested this on Vanilla and modded server. I’ve reported it on feedback tracker and it was turned into feedback and disregarded. This change took place when 1.6 got released. Hope someone can answer and that it gets fixed in 1.7 because it’s a huge disadvantage for console users.

[fathom osprey]

I expect performance. Consoles have a limited hardware compared to the potential of the best gaming PCs, and console players have higher expectations games will work on their consoles without issue. I hear the console makers are also more touchy about developers meeting reasonable performance standards.

[sand cypress]

i added some mods like the berly and the rah and the berrat to try them in gm but i can not find them

[pale shoal]

why cant you have 12000km draw distance in official servers? but you can have it in sandbox

[terse cloak]

because the server restricts it

[pale shoal]

but its a graphic setting option, will it cause instability for the server if they allow it? or just client side performance cause i dont see why they done that

[terse cloak]

the server cant run it, official servers run very poor

[pale shoal]

ah ok

[lunar salmon]

Any persistent community server for long term survival?

[wheat viper]

can someone help me with my mods, they are all messed up and doesnt download, ive tried deleting the addon file but yet doesnt work, i have a bunch of space on my PC and my PC can handle mods

[wind lake]

However, prior to 1.6 consoles had a view distance for enemies at 1000 meters. With Fidelity settings you can see objects but not Ai or enemies up to 2500 meters. On performance settings it’s around 1600 meters for objects. Consoles beat most low end gaming pc’s by far. Those low end pcs can still see enemies at 1200 meters. Regardless of console performance, it’s a huge disadvantage for consoles regardless of PVP or PVE servers. Ai is spotting players well beyond 550 meters.

It needs to be fix in 1.7.

[lucid tulip]

most people dont have the best gaming PC's either. If anything people are going to hold on to current hardware longer then they normally would in the past given the ever increasing costs of hardware . RAM and hardrives in particular. of course who knows when the AI bubble will pop and prices become reasonable again.

tbf even current gen consoles got price hikes due to market pressures so one wonders if ps5 pro now costs MSRP of $900 what that will mean for next gen release of consoles?

[fathom osprey]

Yes, consoles are good these days, but difference is no one cares if some dude's PC can't run a game properly, but Microsoft and Sony will be very upset if a game released on Xbox or PlayStation doesn't run nicely. Meanwhile PC users will be upset if their graphics or gameplay are limited due to a console release. Anyways that seems to be likely the reason for such restriction on console and not on PCs.

[wind lake]

Xbox hasn’t been able to play since the release of 1.6 and is the reason they are asking for people on Xbox to join the 1.7 experimental play test. Consoles are struggling with the current version. I personally play on a PS5 Pro and mostly play on my personal servers which I have fixed a lot of the issues most people have through my mods I’ve created, but when I play vanilla servers I can’t stay connected more than 15 minutes at a time. It shouldn’t be that a modded server is more stable than vanilla. When vanilla isn’t stable then it’s the base programing that needs fixing. Unfortunately the rendering distance for Ai on consoles is hard coded by BI to increase stability as a work around due to a poor 1.6 release, and can’t be altered by mod scripting.

[wheat viper]

bro my fucking PC was fucking download copies for cloud incase my PC had a problem or broke something, SO I WASTED HOURS AND HOURS

ALL I HAD TO DO WAS PAUSE SYNCING WHICH WAS ONLY 3 CLICKS.

[uneven bay]

All my mods aren't downloading it'll download some then it will go to 0KB and then I have to pause and resume it.

I wanted to jump into a KOTH Server and try out arma reforger after having it for ages and literally this is stopping me.

[fossil condor]

Quick question, is he alright?

https://ibb.co/b5JPjxKF

[eager sandal]

He needs to take Anger Management class it seems...

[fossil condor]

they all have a bugged eye

also explosives dude tell me satchel charges are in the shack but there is no shack or any yellow marker

[magic musk]

Does anyone know if Bohemia does anything about un ethical server behavior?

[terse cloak]

@slow pagoda

[slow pagoda]

It depends on what is done

we dont have specific rules about that and typically servers/communities police themselves

[magic musk]

I got banned from one server for playing another

[slow pagoda]

yeah that does fall into servers and communities self policing. They can make up their own rules about those kind of things

[magic musk]

Ok got it thanks

[slow pagoda]

I agree it is a slly reason to ban someone.

[steel yew]

Any suggestions on a mod that has selection of backpacks to choose from especially lightweight ones

[desert pelican]

Does anyone use Armahosts for a rented game server?

I currently have host havoc, just wondering if Arma host would be better?

[winter zephyr]

Probably for the best that you can't play on a sever with rules like that lol

[odd ridge]

is there any word on if there will be any official 128 player vanilla Official servers

[chrome sphinx]

Only thing they said is that if server stability and performance allows it they'll increase the slots

[tropic echo]

Anyone having issues with rayzis optics at the moment? It was working fine up until recently for me minus the aimpoint dot sights werent working properly

[long cradle]

If there will be no tractor with 1.7 can it be assured that there will be a tractor in reforger at some point?

[terse cloak]

maybe

[covert raft]

Any plans to upgrade the currently hideous skybox?

It looks good in the reforger artwork

Definitely not so much in game

[gloomy blade]

Hi quick question how to get Save Load buttons in custom Game Master scenario ?

[bleak oasis]

are there any servers without fixed objectives for arma reforger?

[slow pagoda]

what would one do on such a server?

Id suppose gamemaster ones are like that

[bleak oasis]

go to one objective?

[slow pagoda]

but you said without objectives

so none at all

[bleak oasis]

i mean one point

people would create it, pure chaos and sandbox, pure realism too

[fathom heath]

Me and a buddy are making a server. I have the project files and all the mods. When I open the project it says it’s read only and I cannot edit anything

[fathom heath]

🙃

[slow pagoda]

where are your project files from?

[fathom heath]

He put them together

[ripe kraken]

They are my files I created but I want to make him be able to edit them

[fathom heath]

This is my buddy @slow pagoda

I’m wanting to make custom props, buildings and do map edits / terrain edits. But I’m unable to edit due to the console saying “read only”

[slow pagoda]

Then youll have to send him the full original folder

[mint crypt]

ANYONE know how to use the echoes of war gwot radio

[fathom heath]

He did send me the entire original folder

[clear fossil]

Anyone wanna help me run a PvE Community?

[long cradle]

Got disabled a couple updates ago

[fathom heath]

Anyone able to help

[empty wharf]

Can you drop weapons with controller like you can with M&K (Tab+X)?

[tawny wave]

I heard consoles are getting 50gb is that true?

[chrome sphinx]

Xbox is getting 50gb

[narrow prairie]

Yes u can

[empty wharf]

And how do you do it?

[narrow prairie]

I rarely use it but i think it was indeed touchpad + X

[tawny wave]

Only Xbox?

[narrow prairie]

Or maybe + O

[glass trellis]

As of rn yes

[chrome sphinx]

Yes

[tawny wave]

Damn

[chrome sphinx]

Different consoles different regulations

[chilly briar]

What's expected to be in 1.7 when it releases?

[glass trellis]

-playable fia
-bushes slowing you down when moving through them
-movement inertia
-performance and stability enhancements
-50 gigs of mod space for Xbox

[slow pagoda]

+new implementation of workshop uploading

[sturdy vessel]

Hi guys, anybody knows a mod who use intels to unlock weapons in the arsenal for arma reforge?

[crystal idol]

no

[fathom osprey]

don't forget: fixed wind drift 😻

[modern swift]

I need help figuring out my mods, I have only 36 mods and I load into a campaign with them works fine but the cutscenes i am just in water and I have to spawn a character in due to it not already being in

[south wasp]

So this is my second time asking this, im on Xbox and I keep having issues downloading big mods, this one specifically keeps failing (rhs), I’ve cleared all my mods, I’ve cleared my reserved space, I’ve even deleted and reinstalled the whole game and all of its files, but it still keeps failing, at my wits end here with this as its making me feel like arma was a waste of my time

And I’m saying that with 2000 hours under my belt, but the fact that I can’t play any big server is getting tiring

[blazing meteor]

Might be related to the console space limitations. AFAIK 1.7 Exp increases it from 10GB to 50GB

[south wasp]

The issue is mod capacity on Xbox in reserved space is 24 gigs, whereas rhs is only 6 gigs

Finally managed to get RHS working and installed but now some 19Mb mod is doing the same 😂

Only took like a week to get RHS to download lol

[south wasp]

Although thank you for letting me know about the 1.7 mod capacity increase, it’s been much needed for a while

Majority players I know on console mainly complain about mod capacity so it’ll be great to have

[valid copper]

What would be a raw guess about how long before the 1.7 Update leaves Testing and comes to Release?

[chilly briar]

Are there any mods that enhance the experience of combat ops Everon? I wish there was something that spawns you into a rebel encampment where you can recruit a squad from the get go

[half locust]

current (1.6x) space for both xbox and ps5 is 25GB. Xbox will get an increase to 50GB with 1.7x. using a variable space allocation that it is available for this particular platform. As far as i know, the download speeds limits will remain the same.

[gloomy blade]

how can you remove / hide objects from vanilla map in Reforger ?

In workbench ?

[terse cloak]

From 25gb to 50

[terse cloak]

A month or two or more

[slow pagoda]

You cant

Major changes are not what the terrains are meant for

[chilly briar]

What are the chances that we'll see variants of the M21 and SVD with deployable bipods?

This is something I've been wanting for a long time

[terse cloak]

devs havent said anything about it

[chilly briar]

It seems weird that neither of those weapons have bipods, but LMGs do

[terse cloak]

there may have not been bipods for those guns during that time

[chilly briar]

The SVD definitely did have a deployable bipod. I have seen pictures of it

[terse cloak]

quick google and atleast one website says that the svd was seen with rpd, pkm or rpk bipods as a field mod

[chilly briar]

As for the M21, I'm not too familiar with it

I think the M21 wasn't really a true sniper like the SVD. It was more of an upgrade to the M14.

[terse cloak]

they are both DMRs

[glass trellis]

#offtopic_arma message

[versed bear]

Does anyone have some map suggestions? Currently looking for a new terrain for my unit to play on. Has to be larger than 6x6km (the lower size, the denser it needs to be. cant be mainly fields or woods if its small), cant be flat or with low hills mainly, not extremely wooded. We are just getting off belleau wood and the flatness across the entire map was a pretty big issue. Currently looking at Zimnitrita, Nizla island, and the Faircroft Islands

[neat patrol]

Whats the best mod to keep neutralized entities ( corpses and destroyed vehicles ) forever till I manually run garbage collection?

In other words, which is the best mod that disables automatic garbage collection but still lets GMs manually run it?

[foggy ridge]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/622CD3A9533E4430-ar_flatgrass

[glass trellis]

Peak map

[versed bear]

Perfectly fits my criteria

[safe marten]

acually good for a test map

[topaz whale]

This depends on the purpose. If you are just trying to take a screenshot in workbench, you can use H to hide things. But you can't actually change the map itself.

[visual parrot]

It's actually broken, I think

Knowing bacon though, this seems purposeful 😄

[foggy ridge]

Fixed it, thank you

[upbeat siren]

why are all combat ops mission always at night?

[glass trellis]

Sneaky

[fossil condor]

Is there a specific setting that is related to buildings spawning in further away? currently trying to use heli missiles is kinda pointless since you have to be so close to a base for things to spawn in

[topaz whale]

They're not. Not on official servers at least. Not sure if they start out that was in SP though

[gloomy blade]

How can somebody change stamina consumption rate in workshop for GM scenario ?

[odd ridge]

I think I've grown spolied with 128 player servers, should I go back to 48 player servers?

[cold monolith]

Our server UNSC Battlegroup Athens (128-slot) Gamemaster has recently blown up in popularity, but the past few nights we’ve been dealing with what looks like exploit/hacker behavior.

What’s happening:

• Players getting randomly deleted/killed
• Gear/entities spawning uncontrollably
• Server eventually crashes/timeouts

What we’ve tried:

• Full server reset from scratch
• Only myself as admin/GM
• Reviewing logs during incidents (no clear player tied to it)
• Adding anti-cheat
  Even with all that, it’s still happening at high player counts (100–128).

Questions:

• Has anyone seen this before on high-pop servers?
• Any known mod/RPC/loadout exploits going around right now?
• Best ways to harden a server against this?
  Appreciate any help — trying to keep things stable for the community.

[foggy ridge]

Are you banning them with BattlEye RCON? The standard Reforger ban is not sufficient to deal with those guys

[odd ridge]

will civilians ever be added to Reforger?

[topaz whale]

There already are civilians in Reforger.

[odd ridge]

apologies, I meant out in the world like the FIA bots

[topaz whale]

Oh, are you talking specifically Conflict?

[odd ridge]

yep, conflict and Commander HQ

[topaz whale]

Oh. That I'm not sure. Personally I would rather have a higher combatant AI cap than civilians but I guess we'll see what the future holds.

[odd ridge]

true, I'd like to see civies in reforger only so the FIA faction can blend in with them, give another avenue of gameplay with the faction(though I suspect a lot of warcrimes will happen in the process)

[ashen kelp]

*Not an official answer: If you listen to the radio in the game, from time to time it plays a message urging civilians to evacuate the island - so it is implied every civilian already left.

[terse cloak]

conflict is non canon tho

[ashen kelp]

Correct - thought that message plays no matter what is the scenario, even in conflict

[cold monolith]

I'm not even able to identify who the hacker is to be able to ban them

[tough abyss]

I believe in Reforger engine start and engine stop input actions could not share identical binding, as one of them would stop working then. Maybe it got fixed over time, but it was impossibiru at least in the past.

[hoary nacelle]

Yes you can use same key but it always applies the HOLD modifier for start. Even if you choose a different key for stop, what you pick for start is always HOLD.

[tough abyss]

Currentlty engine startup requires you to keep holding the key until engine is running, so input filter choice is limited to either Press or Hold indeed.
What I'm talking about is using Timeout prefix (HoldOnce input filter) for engine shutdown, it's currently impossible afaik

[gloomy blade]

Hi i have a question how can i make it so that character that weights above 55 kg to be able to sprint ?
I have allready played with SCR_CharacterStaminaComponent put the values to the max and still if the character has above certian weight he is unable to sprint.

Stamina Regain Per S = 0.0700
Stamina Drain Run = -0.0001
Stamina Drain Sprint = -0.0001

Defaul Character Mass = 90
Encumbrance Mass Min = 90
Encumbrance Mass Max = 1000
Encumbrance Drain Max = -0.0001

Breath Normal Frequency = 0.4500
Breath Normal Magnitude = 0.5000
Breath Exausted Frequency = 1.1000
Breath Exhausted Magnitude = 2.5

[soft copper]

Is it possible to access game master in campaign mode?

[foggy ridge]

Only through admin login

[fossil condor]

Any explanation for why with the same settings I get way worse FPS on the experimental build

Its been going downhill since 1.6...

[glass trellis]

From memory exp has extra stuff or something that affects fps and stuff

[shut bear]

Enfusion engine is very CPU intensive, and it will get more intensive with more features being added

[forest seal]

Recently (due to the 'staggering' work of our internet regulator), I haven't been able to access SE servers. The screenshots show examples of errors and non-working services. I tried to solve the problem using zapret-discord-youtube, specifically by adding server links to the list-general file. But the problem still persists. Services like GearUp didn't help, and my ISP doesn't know what's wrong. If any RU players have had this problem, how did you solve it—or did you not solve it at all?

[lime glacier]

use newest zapret-discord-youtube
there is folder called utils, and file called "test zapret.ps1"
run it, press 1 twice to set test settings. after tests it will show you the best strategy. Then start service.bat, update IPset list (7)
set game filter to TCP and UDP, check that IPset filter set to [loaded], then go to ipset-all.txt and add problematic server in format x.x.x.x/32 and only after that start your best strategy and start the game

[rose geode]

im probably going to get the game but first i wanted to ask how long are matches?

[glass trellis]

Is this porn?

Imma say yes

[glass trellis]

There is no time limit

Saw one go on for about a week

Also @near bramble you got a look alike lol

[rose geode]

how long do they usually go

[glass trellis]

Few hours in my experience

[rose geode]

if i have to go will i get a penalty for leaving

[glass trellis]

Nah

Some servers kick you for afk but not all of em

[rose geode]

and how long does it take to spawn a helicopter

[glass trellis]

You gotta get the xp for it but if you know what you’re doing you can get one in 5-10 minutes

[rose geode]

one last question do people not like if you dont have a mic

[glass trellis]

You might run into the odd guy that doesn’t like you not having a mic but most are chill about it

[rose geode]

ok thank you so much

[glass trellis]

Always happy to help when and where I can

[rose geode]

sorry i know i said i only had one more question but how long does it take to get good enough that it only takes 5-10 minutes

Is there a way to dissasemble bases that have been established in HQC?

Especially for when theyre undefendable or Useless

Argh, requires a commander and most of the time thats an AI, frustrating but thanks

I am usually Engineer or Logi

[gleaming holly]

ACE Weather Dev (https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/667B230F9505C8BA-ACEWeatherDev) does exactly what youre looking for, although if you use it you have to use all ACE Dev versions of their mods, as the Dev branch and regular branch can't be used together

[proud mortar]

Does the ace dev stuff work in gamemaster? Last time i tried it didnt work but that could have been an issue on my end

[gleaming holly]

They do, they work in all vanilla gamemodes but need compatibility mods for certain modded gamemodes (such as overthrow and freedom fighters). If youre using them in SP youll need to make sure you have the ACE mods you want active along with all their dependencies, and only ACE dev or regular ACE. I.e if you're using ACE Weather Dev you have to use ACE Core Dev, etc and cannot have ACE Core or ACE Medical (non-dev version) active at the same time

[proud mortar]

Alright thanks

[proud mortar]

Hey sorry to bother again but i cant find the Dev versions anywhere

[gleaming holly]

What do you mean? Like on the in-game workshop browser?

[proud mortar]

Yea in the ingame workshop

[gleaming holly]

Hmm, you may have to enable "Test mods" or whatever the toggle is in your filters

Filters for searching the workshop i mean

[proud mortar]

Oh didnt know that filter exists
Thank you i found them

[versed bear]

Anyone know of any mods that disable/change the freefalling animation? Would love to do HALO insertion but the constant flailing is definitely sucky

[cerulean token]

Could rolling onto your back and aiming sideways while prone still happen for Reforger? Like in DayZ. Just saw that 'Bellum' actually has this feature already, it's pretty nice.

[hoary nacelle]

On your back? On your side maybe, like Arma 3. There are other stances I would want first, like side step in Arma 3 for one. Lets you expose even less of your body than just leaning.

[vivid ferry]

Lads is “global night brighter mode” added by a mod I’m missing?

I’m sure it’s not vanilla - but I’m going crazy trying to find what’s adding it 😂

Messes up lighting on our maps for us massively and would like to get rid

[stable topaz]

There is a vanilla GM setting for that, there may also be a mod, not sure. But would be in your server mod list if so.

[vivid ferry]

I’ll do some digging

Thanks

[patent night]

Who could I talk to about putting up a small survey in the reforger general chat

[glass trellis]

I’m assuming the mods but I’d ask in #discord_server

[graceful remnant]

Does this still work? I can still select GM radio when it's activated but I'm not sure if I fully understand it

[versed patrol]

@warm topaz you going to be on trm?

[graceful remnant]

GM Tools or GM Enhanced

Can’t remember which one

[vivid ferry]

Legend cheers

[rustic stream]

Good day Arma folk. Can anyone advise how an absolute beginner might starting learning how to make mods?
Maybe some good tutorials channels to check out?

[slow pagoda]

our reforger related modding channels start at #enfusion_generic (enfusion being the game engines name)

from there onwards you can find various different topic modding channels

and pinned messages on different channels often have useful tips

also the wiki has pages about modding reforger and we are working towards expanding those as well.

Excellent, thanks for the help Mr goat 🙏

[dim venture]

hello! just a quick question currently using ACE Medical dev for our server and CRX Enfusion AI

is there a way to make the AI less accurate? and also is there a way to disable insta death from headshot, or even a mod that disables insta death?

[half locust]

either ask in ACE discord directly, or in CRX AI thread

1. ACE - https://discord.com/channels/105462288051380224/1225001719776149566

DM me and I can assist you

[outer wing]

hey guys im looking for a player goes by the name of Challenger158 any one know him or point me in right direction?

[tranquil cosmos]

Quick question, has anyone played the Overthrow mod on ps? Im currently trying but im stuck on the custom loading screen for it. Tried deleting saved data and redownloading the game and the mods, and its still not working.

[amber vector]

When swimming or in GM, does the water textures disappear for anyone else? Anyone else got this going on?

[gloomy abyss]

Find and join the Overthrow discord, look thru the support channels for compatible mods to use or not use they doing a good job

[velvet knoll]

How do i put a post up to recruit people for a milsim?

[languid lodge]

@velvet knoll #communities_arma_reforger just type "/community" in that channel and the bot should start up, accept rules and fill out the questions/form that bot starts.

And 1x per 14 days per community so make sure your community is not advertised in the past 14 days.

[tranquil cosmos]

Looked for it and couldnt find it. I looked it up and seen that for most ps users it was the same thing recently so it might be a mod bug, ill still try it out. thank you

[full pendant]

Hello everyone! could u please tell me if theres a way to adjust the joystick and throttle control level?

[hoary nacelle]

If you refering to actual Joystick settings you might do better here. https://discord.com/channels/105462288051380224/1400750107196129361

[quaint cargo]

Is there any way to prevent my game from dropping to 10fps when i go to a window on my second monitor

[slow pagoda]

no dont think so

[dim venture]

hi question, is there a way to disable getting kicked for high ping in the settings of the server

[clear cosmos]

how do i kill AI stuck inside of containers at harbors and stuff, especially at lamentin in everon??? theyre mind numbingly annoying

ive used so many AT mines and blown them up near it, but it still wont die. ive tried ramming the container; maybe itll destroy and let me kill it

[topaz whale]

Do PKMs or higher MGs work?

[clear cosmos]

wdym?

to penetrate the container? nope. already tried guns up to an lav at 25mm

i just want to destroy the container, i remember being able to do that

if i can accomplish that then i can kill the ai stuck inside

i tried the explosives up to the landmine, 3 of which didnt seem to do the job either

i cant think of a bigger explosion or damaging thing.

i have a screenshot of "geez" replying to some ppl in the forums about this happening at regina and the airfield. he said it would be fixed in the next major update.

he said that in january 2024 🙏

[topaz whale]

Why do you have to kill this AI?

[clear cosmos]

to take over a harbor. i needed ai logistics to run supplies so i can respawn another heli or lav.

note that its a pretty much empty server, just me and 2 russians on the other side (was playing on american)

its not a good use of supplies but it does make me being a 1 man army much easier to manage being able to use rocket helis yknow

[topaz whale]

Buy some AI and bring them along

[clear cosmos]

wait they can help with capturing?

[topaz whale]

Wonder if one of the non-HE rockets would get through

[topaz whale]

I think so. Worth a try at least.

[clear cosmos]

well an anti tank mine didnt. and theyre 15kg of pure explosion

[clear cosmos]

i already rage quit, my pc cant handle the game anyways

[topaz whale]

But the non-HE rockets are designed to go into things so maybe.

[clear cosmos]

480p and 20 fps is bad enough. and i have to deal with that.

[topaz whale]

I used to play A3 at 7fps. I know how it is

[winter zephyr]

There is: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Startup_Parameters#forceUpdate

[vivid heron]

I play in a reforger unit, that relatively speaking havent played reforger for quite a while. An issue were having is that whenever the game master speaks through an AI, the GM is heard globally. any fixes?

[valid copper]

Anybody wants to write a short summary on how the Experimental Servers currently running (server crashes and server Performance ) and if something is different with the Performance on PC, comparing to non Experimental Servers? Would be nice, thanks

[hardy dagger]

why is the technology in reforger so old when it takes place 2 years before desert storm?

[topaz whale]

Whats so old about it?

There's 6 vehicles in the game for US. I know at least 5 were used in desert storm. All the weapons were too. Other than maybe the sniper rifle.

[crystal idol]

like what lol

[gleaming holly]

M16A2s were ubiquitous in Desert Storm, ALICE rigs and PASGT was the standard. There are weapons, vehicles, and "tech" available or even widespread in 1989 that are not in Reforger due to engine limitations (IR, thermal optics, tracked vehicles, etc) or because the devs simply didn't add them

[hardy dagger]

was more what i ment

[gleaming holly]

We're also getting to a point where OEF-era gear is becoming retro, even though most people over ~25 would consider that type of tech/gear to be "modern", it's quickly becoming older

[hardy dagger]

we dont have stuff like the bradley, or the M1A1 abrams or the blackhawk

or the barret for ordanance disposal

IK MBTS would be a little strong

tracked vehicles have been hinted at being added into the game in the future, the M113 sound files are in the experimental branch

stuff like the M240 would be cool too

[gleaming holly]

That's just due to the devs not adding those things in, you'd have to probably do a deep dive through old discord messages here to find out the reasoning tbh. My understanding is that they purposely chose to keep the overall scope small, and adding those vehicles would necessitate the systems they come with, such as GPS/BFT, thermals, turret stabilization, etc which i don't believe is currently implemented in any way in base game. Much easier to have older vehicles which are entirely or almost entirely manually operated and hand cranked

[hardy dagger]

OEF gear is considered modern??

[hardy dagger]

yeah, that makes sense tbh, IK this game is a "test bed" for arma 4 which will have MBTs in it

[gleaming holly]

Not anymore, i just mean that growing up that era of gear was "the current thing" and cutting edge, but is now considered retro

[hardy dagger]

that makes mroe sense

when i think of 1989 i dont think of the huey, or the LAV

and shouldent the LAV have its stabilizer?

[gleaming holly]

Yeah those have a distinctly Vietnam era vibe to me. And yeah it's supposed to lol

[hardy dagger]

yeah, i found that odd i expected bradleys and more modern stuff like the chinhook

[hardy dagger]

no FCS/stabilizer/thermals are in the game

itd be really cool to have those, along with NVG for individual soldiers

[gleaming holly]

Maybe not the LAV quite as much, but the Huey is strongly associated with the 70s/early 80s, not quite so much with very late cold war

I'd kill for PVS-7s in vanilla

[hardy dagger]

yeah i would have thought the blackhawk would have been in its place

[hardy dagger]

yeah i dont really enjoy the walking around in darkness and no one uses their flashlight style of gameplay

we also dont have bolt actions in the game at all

[gleaming holly]

I agree, although a Blackhawk without any of the proper systems like flares, autorotation, MFDs, etc would feel super incomplete i think

[hardy dagger]

and no SMAW which is a crime.

[hardy dagger]

idk why we dont have MANPADS in the game, or the strela for the soviets and the bradley linebacker for the USA if we really want launchers

[gleaming holly]

Mostly because there's no in-engine system to handle guided munitions or really anything other than dumb rockets. We got a Stinger teaser for A4 already so my hopes are high that we'll see a much more fleshed out roster of equipment and vehicles

[hardy dagger]

also stuff like TOW missiles or kornets for AT, but TBH APCs are pretty underwhelming

[hardy dagger]

is the Enfusion engine that limited/poor?

[gleaming holly]

They're great as guns on wheels, but an M2 equipped humvee can do the same thing for cheaper

[gleaming holly]

I couldn't tell you beyond the fact that we don't have any vanilla support for IR or guided missiles. I've never done any modding

[hardy dagger]

id take that thing out more if it got a metal shield for the gunner on the roof so i dont get sniped because i have no cover

yeah its confusing why we dont have bullet shields for the M2 humvee

[gleaming holly]

Even jerry-rigged sandbags tied down to the roof would work better than open air

[hardy dagger]

it would be so nice to have them

i really hope arma 4 is good

[gleaming holly]

I love the late cold war in general so as long as the base game is more fleshed out than Reforger i think it will be

[hardy dagger]

stuff like the AH-1G cobra would be awesome, or the MI-24 for gunships, (for all of the soviet ship captians)

[hardy dagger]

yeah, with reforger graphics its gonna be a fantastic game

[gleaming holly]

Hopefully we'll get a much bigger focus on SP content and a real deal campaign from BI for A4

[hardy dagger]

i never did AR's campaign

[gleaming holly]

I havent either, i keep meaning to but I've got a toddler so i don't have a ton of time to sit down and game lol

[rain edge]

Hueys were the backbone of V and VII Corps in 89... LAVs, well presumably because an MEU was sent to the islands

[hardy dagger]

i just kinda slowly drifted away from reforger tbh, the lack of teamwork is very saddening

[hardy dagger]

stuff like the blackhawk would be more capable, but the huey does fit the look of the game and US team better ICL

[rain edge]

Blackhawks were being deployed then, but not the workhorse it is now...

[winter zephyr]

M240 is in the game (as the coax in the LAV-25).

[hardy dagger]

im aware that it is, IDK why its not an infantry capable gun.

[rain edge]

HQ CENTAG had 10 × UH-1H, 2 × UH-60A (and you know that they'd get them first...)

[hardy dagger]

it would be awesome to get UH-60As in the game

[winter zephyr]

The US Army didn't have M240B until the late 90s.

[hardy dagger]

was the M240 made as a COAX and then converted into a support LMG??

[winter zephyr]

Yes

[hardy dagger]

ohhh i didnt know that

[winter zephyr]

Also, you keep saying "newer things like Bradley and Abrams," but the LAV-25 is newer than both lol

[rain edge]

Yeah, that said, I was just looking at the OOB for CENTAG and a lot of UH-60As were out with the frontline divisions. Could be argued that the Malden Islands are a secondary front so less priority for the new gucchi gear

[hardy dagger]

the M3 bradley was put into service in 81 and the LAV-25 was in service in 82, but yeah the abrams is younger than them both

while we are in that time period are we excited for the game "83"?

[rain edge]

OH-58C should be a helo in game... lots of them deployed

[hardy dagger]

the kiowa warrior would be fantastic aswell

[winter zephyr]

Or the SMAW, which has always been a USMC weapon, not US Army.

[rain edge]

Lovely bird that one 🙂

[hardy dagger]

i ment it for the sake of balance

the LAW sucks and the RPG-7 (was) better than it

[winter zephyr]

And no, the LAV-25 was selected in 1982, it wasn't in service until 1983.

[hardy dagger]

i read the selecton date and not the acceptance date

also when i say the bradley i ment in the tech sense, the LAV in game doesnt have a stabilizer or FCS (tho apparently the stabilizer is planned?) FCS's would be hard to balance

[winter zephyr]

The LAV-25 didn't have an advanced FCS IRL then.

But yes, the stabilizer is just a missing feature.

[hardy dagger]

its planned to be added to it, right?

[rain edge]

The LAV was only added cause it uses wheels not tracks 🤣 Otherwise the US would have M113s

[winter zephyr]

They've indicated we'll likely get the stabilizer, yes. They've also hinted at us getting M113s.

[hardy dagger]

yeah, and tracked vehicles are going to be added (idk when)

[hardy dagger]

i would love a mortar M113 or medical M113

[rain edge]

And hopefully after they will fix them for ARMA 4 😉

[winter zephyr]

I would count on M2 and unarmed :p

[hardy dagger]

those too,

have they released a roadmap for this year? the roadmap ends at the power grids

[winter zephyr]

We don't know if we are getting a new roadmap.

[hardy dagger]

how much more content are we gonna get for reforger?

[rain edge]

Come to the Dark Side, come to ARMA 3, we have all you might want 😛

[hardy dagger]

i really wanna get into arma 3 again

[winter zephyr]

Don't expect much more Reforger content.

[hardy dagger]

💔

[winter zephyr]

They've been open about resources being shifted to A4.

Which is less than 2 years away at most.

[hardy dagger]

the ETA is 2027 for A4

[rain edge]

Klamacz did strongly hint at tracked vics in his AMA, I'd expect that they will be added to test Enfusion handling for ARMA 4 tbh

[winter zephyr]

Yes, and it could come out in December of 2027.

[hardy dagger]

which AMA, and where can i find it?

[winter zephyr]

Klamacz didn't just hint, since then he's directly said we will get one tracked vehicle in Reforger.

[hardy dagger]

yeah, im hopeful for a early to mid 2027 release, with it having tanks and more content, i hope its good

[hardy dagger]

i wonder when it will be added.

[winter zephyr]

Probably not in 1.7.

[chrome flicker]

id say arma 4 is coming in may at the earliest

[winter zephyr]

So probably not for months until it hits Experimental.

[rain edge]

From this https://www.reddit.com/r/ArmaReforger/comments/1i0clon/im_klamacz_the_arma_reforger_project_lead_ama/ It's something we want to be able to do, technically. From business perspective it's not best, Arma 4 needs cool stuff, new content. There may be some tech and abilities that we would get in Reforger btw and if that happens we will definitely utilise them even if it's just bringing options to modders

Whole thing is worth a read

[hardy dagger]

thanks, i will def read it all

[rain edge]

If it's like ARMA 3 will be early access, no tracked vic or planes, no Eden and no Zeus 😉

[chrome flicker]

hmm I think it will be finished... more like arma 3 before the dlcs

[rain edge]

Heh, new here?

[winter zephyr]

They've said that they are not releasing A4 as early access. I expect it to have much larger scope than early access A3.

[rain edge]

Would be the first ever ARMA/OFP product released as a properly finished product

[winter zephyr]

A3 before DLC is probably a reasonable expectation.

They'll have had 5 years since Reforger early access and significantly more time since A3 Apex (when development started slowing there).

[rain edge]

You mean apart from using an unseen (I assume here based on comments) version of Enfusion for ARMA 4 that is not the Reforger one (or is it now merged?)

[rain edge]

Apex has absolutely nothing to do with ARMA 4, at all lol

TKOM probably has more to do with ARMA 4 than ARMA 3...

[winter zephyr]

Arma 2 was 2009.
Arma 3 was 2013, 4 years later. Arma 3 Apex came out in 2016, and that's when development started winding down on Arma 3 (and on to other projects, like what became Reforger).

Arma Reforger was in early access in 2022, 6 years after Apex.
Arma 4 is planned for 2027, 14 years after A3 initial release, 11 years after A3 Apex, and 5 years after Reforger Early Access. This is the longest gap between mainline entries to the series.

[rain edge]

https://80.lv/articles/the-development-process-behind-bohemia-interactive-s-enfusion-engine

[winter zephyr]

Is there a specific takeaway I am meant to have from this?

[rain edge]

He and Dram worked on Take on Mars... 😉 That's where Enfusion as an idea was born

[winter zephyr]

I never said otherwise.

[rain edge]

Guesswork on my part but makes a whole lot of sense

Especially given Dram's TKOM Combat Mod

[winter zephyr]

But my point is that Arma 4 has had a whole lot of time for them to make content for it.

To say that Arma 4 will be like Arma 3 early access, with no tracked vehicles, planes, Eden, or Zeus is a bit silly. We already have a tracked vehicle confirmed to be coming for Reforger and we have had Game Master in Reforger since early access release.

I would expect at least some basic fixed wing content in A4 at launch. I don't know that I'd expect an editor at launch (besides the workbench).

But with all the time they've had, and with Reforger almost surpassing Arma 3 early access in content, I think it is pretty safe to say that Arma 4 will have more content than that.

[rain edge]

I'd just say, honestly, if we get Game Master in ARMA 4 and not an updated Eden then I ain't leaving ARMA 3... simple.

[topaz whale]

UH-1s were still in use by the Army in 2005.

[topaz whale]

Linebacker didn't exist in 1989

[topaz whale]

LAV was used by the 82nd Airborne (Army) which is possibly who we are playing as? maybe?

[rain edge]

Oh, Thanks, did not know that offhand

[topaz whale]

I think shortly before the Gulf War they were getting rid of the Sheridans in their Recon Vehicle Company so they trialed the LAV-25 but didn't end up using them in the long run. From wikipedia:

The Army borrowed at least a dozen LAV-25s for use by the 82nd Airborne Division, 3 squadron-73rd Armor for a scout platoon during the Gulf War. These LAV-25s were returned to the Marine Corps after the conflict.
I didn't know about this either until WARNO used that as justification for including them in their 82nd Airborne Division deck.

[rain edge]

Yeah, that's what I'd understood. Sheridans were cool. Shame there was no real replacement

[quaint cargo]

Thank you very much!

[lucid tulip]

were they? I recall that when playing WARNO it was only within 12th aviation brigade's 5-158th Aviation battalion( corps level asset) that had Hueys for supply transport and the V corps HQ aviation group had a few hueys as transport for officers.

and from memory just about every other aviation unit within 5th corps had already replaced Uh1 with UH60's by that point

[rain edge]

Yeah. I did correct myself 😉 #reforger_questions message

[lucid tulip]

Oh ok. But yeah I think they left the old stuff for reforger and we will get newer helicopters like uh60 helicopters in arma 4.

It would otherwise a shame to have a gsme set in 1989 but not include any "newer" assets that were fielded in the time period

[sweet yarrow]

I sincerely hope they fix the flight model for the helicopters before ARMA 4 releases.

[hidden moon]

Just hope Arma 4 has the 2010 setting, has a really nice aesthetics of old and new tech.

[topaz whale]

It's probably going to be Cold War/early 90s given the information we have

[hidden moon]

Yea but they could use the Cold War stuff for a "rebel faction" in Arma 4 and the other 2 factions are in 2010. Have you heard that BI devs, just a hint 😆

But for a business stand point, again a cold war game is not so clever. You already see what most players are playing, and thats not cold war. So selling later A4 DLCs with cold war or modern setting. It's obvious which one will sell better.

[terse cloak]

2010s isnt modern either

[topaz whale]

They have a giant map of iron curtain era Europe on their office wall so I'm thinking we're going cold war or just after

[hidden moon]

That are bad news for me

[topaz whale]

The good news is that a lot of Cold War stuff can be used for modern day.

[lucid tulip]

2010-2019 is much closer to the most contemporary period then 1989 is. arguably the only core difference between 2010's and 2020's would be lack of FPV , and 1 way suicide drones being used. Just as a very generalized overview of course.

[celest granite]

I think cold war gone hot is pretty much confirmed with the fact the interm game is called reforger

[winter zephyr]

Definitely not confirmed, but all the clues point to it.

[safe aurora]

Anyone know any mods that add lots of chest rigs? Looking for modern stuff to use.

[hoary nacelle]

If anybody happens to know what name the modder MAPLESMOD uses here, please let me know. I know its a long shot but fingers crossed.

[topaz pecan]

GRS and CDD are your best options

[safe aurora]

thanks will check them out.

[fair hedge]

where is arma support

[topaz pecan]

Np also if you like CDD I recommend also getting the CAG or DEVGRU packs

[safe aurora]

Thanks for the tip, ill check them out.

[valid copper]

Out of curiosity, are the Devs from BI mostly already working on Arma 4 or still on Reforger, since the Roadmap from Reforger is with the exception of one point worked off?

[chrome sphinx]

They large majority already switched to development of arma 4 over a year ago. It's only a handful of people working on Reforger, they have more content planned then on the roadmap to fill the gap to A4 release.

Is there ANY way to make AI stay completely still without arresting them with ACE Captives or using Tools?

[acoustic slate]

Is there a survival like gamemode (with that I mean something like h1z1 or rust) that I could server host and also kindof control with game master?
-# so basically DayZ but without the zombies and Wasteland without the gun shops. Yes I’m new to this type of stuff in Arma.

[valid copper]

Thank you for the answer! I throught only the Electro- Power grid Gameplay is missimg from the Roadmap, no?

[topaz whale]

That is the only thing missing from the public roadmap. They also probably have their own stuff that they want to do that they haven't told people about... or weren't on an official roadmap at least

[valid copper]

Ahhh okay, makes sense. Thank you

How do I find servers running the Spearhead Ultra Hardcore mod?

[brave wigeon]

Someone can help me out whit I trying to find a mod whit shoulder holster and if anyone know a mod whit it pls let me know

[flint lion]

Foggys survival, me and the boys have been loving it on my server

[brazen tartan]

Was playing rubber band rangers earlier with a friend and after they spawned the mi24 with the gunner controlled cannon and pilot controlled AA missiles and dumbfire rockets we couldn't figure out how to swap to the(what we think are wire guided) missiles. Pressing and holding V didnt change anything and didnt see anything else in the controls so does anyone know the keybind for it?

[brazen tartan]

Pretty sure only spearhead uses it so just search "spearhead" and basically all of their servers are UHC

[bleak crow]

Do you need an invite to RBR? I dont fly but im pretty sure holding V or pressing 1 2 or 3 would switch you from the cannon to the Ataka missiles, assuming you have those on your mi24 variant. Im not sure what all variants there are, so maybe you got one without atgms?

I dm'd invite anyways.

[outer adder]

How hard it would be for arma Devs to add the possibility to shoot inside a basecompartment without any mods ? Is it something easy to do ? Genuinely

[glass trellis]

Is that shooting in/ from vehicles?

[outer adder]

like shooting while sitting

[ruby marsh]

anyone know how to unlock attachments? each time I spawn in with a base m4 (i think) I try to find some from the armory but it wont let me unlock them

[glass trellis]

Vanilla?

[ruby marsh]

yeah

the iron sight is just awful lol

[glass trellis]

Uhh attachments are unlocked at corporal

You get the bayonet and the flash hider by default

Black 4x and black red dot at corporal

The painted red dot and 4x at lt

Suppressors (black) at sergeant

And the others at lt

Ranking up is achieved by basically just playing, and rank resets when the match is over and does not carry over between matches or servers

[ruby marsh]

thank you very much

[valid copper]

I saw it once here but forget where to look at this tool to help Programm Hotas buttoms for Reforger. can someone please send a link or whatever?

I got you dawg

[rocky geyser]

do you know how to build bases on foggys survival? been trying to find some info on it without any luck.

[flint lion]

A bunch of guys on my server have bases and all that, I'm more of the server dev guy, but been slowly working on my survivor skills lol

[flint lion]

To my knowledge you need a flag, a buildshare, and then foundations/walls/doors

[sullen locust]

||How do you access the experimental branch on console? (PS5)||

EDIT: Found my answer. ☹️

[hallow bloom]

Any clue Wsp with this for ps5?

I’m getting a errror everytime I try to load a server

Deleted re downloaded can’t get it to work

[magic osprey]

There have been reports of issues with PSN itself today. Are other games / services working for you, @hallow bloom?

[hallow bloom]

Everything is working fine

Play games constantly the only issue I have is trying to play arma specifically modded arma

[magic osprey]

Ah. Are you getting any error codes at all? Have you checked how many mods you currently have downloaded (storage limit is 25 GB for mods on PS5)?

[hallow bloom]

The modded server I’m in has a set amount and other consoles (Xbox) get in just fine it’s just our ps5 guys struggling

And I can’t send the picture of the code cause it won’t let me send the picture

The struggle has only been for the last week other than that we’ve gotten in just fine

[neat patrol]

Which bot-mod is the best in terms of information and not just killfeed?

Like for example i wanna show who joins, how much people is in the server etc

[valid copper]

Guys how or where can i apply as a commander for the FIA in Experimental

[glass trellis]

I don’t think that’s a thing you can do

[terse cloak]

Should be still the same way as in stable

[valid copper]

Alrighty, we will Test again. I think we made a mistake, because we played FIA on Arland and only checked the big base on the main island but not the base in that tiny island to the south- west to apply for FIA Commander. will try again, because i really want to know if one can build bots as FIA.

[terse cloak]

Dont think u can be commander as fia.

[junior wasp]

FIA does not have a Commander role, they're not an organized military like US/USSR

[sour compass]

General Question, more aimed at RHS than anything when it comes to the prefabs. I'm merely curious, please don't take it as me being ignorant or being rude.

Have you ever considered adding base colors to the vests rather than having MCAM or AOR2? What I mean by this, for example, is that when you customize your character in the game, for instance, on PC, you can press X to customize an item. What if you did that and got the different camo versions of vests and prefabs? Like sorting them out into Assault, Breacher, Sniper, LMG, and beyond that. Colors for the camos and whatnot. Just a thought. Like I said just a genuine curiosity. Please and thanks in advance as well as apologies.

[half locust]

considering the fact that vanilla arsenal is already overcrowded, and it has no filters to speak of for whatever reason, so it shows everything in a long list, no, we don't consider that viable for the forseable future, unless the arsenal in itself is refactored to something that is closer to A3 or different, yet modern UI

[eager sandal]

Ia there a mod that makes stamina more punishing/extreme?

[sour compass]

Copy that, I didnt know that. Now that you mention it i do realize it. Perhaps I'm too used to Bacon and WCS with their categorization, Apologies for wasting your time. It came from a place of weapons and gear enthusiasm. Been into guns and military and all that stuff for over 20 years and have been with you guys since Arma 3 and thats actually what prompted the question. Because in GM View you have the 3 arsenal boxes, one with a Bullet shape, the three bullets and the vest shape. Thats what lead me down the path of thinking about this.

[sour compass]

Bacon and WCS arsenals have ruined me in that regard. Haha. Thank you for answering my question.

[steel yew]

Is there any mods that let you use radio backpacks to respawn on conflict ops everon resistance mode?

[terse cloak]

you should be able to use the tents as mobile spawns

[topaz whale]

How dare you! https://armedassault.fandom.com/wiki/Ian_Stoyan

[magic osprey]

Don't forget Viktor Troska!

[topaz whale]

True but he wasn't the commander on Everon. Stoyan was... though I believe if things had gone differently then Viktor would have joined too.

I just realized that a different Stoyan was Victor's second in command. Would have been cool if they would have been the same character.

[magic osprey]

Yeah I forgot they weren't the same character... I always thought they were back in the day where Resistance was set before Cold War Crisis.

[fierce oar]

Which component or script is responsible for allowing recruiting AI to my squad? I'm in a modded gamemode and as a SL I don't have such option. Only follow me, but I have noone to follow me

[hoary nacelle]

Where did you get the AI? If you got them from the small barracks those cannot be recruited.

[fierce oar]

From Living Quarters, yes
So only AI from large barracks can be hired to squad?

Or how doe it work?

I used to hire them from living quarters and it worked fine, but now it doesn't and I'm not sure if it's disabled in HQC or I'm doing something wrong

[steel yew]

I don’t know if a mod is conflicting but when I grab a tent it immediately says spawn point deployed or something and I never see it in my inventory

[topaz whale]

They've been working fine for me so it could be a mod.

[unreal axle]

[flat atlas]

Does anyone any mods at let's me save the objects i place down on the map when I restart my server

[hoary nacelle]

The game already does this. It should save every 10 mintues. You need to use -LoadSessionSave (think thats correct) Not specifying a save loads the latest save. I run my server, same map, for a week or more and we shut down and resume multiple times.

[wanton zealot]

Has anyone ever been ddosed while playing?

[toxic depot]

DDoS is very common for servers and very rare for players unless there's a server admin doing it - 9 times out of 10 it's going to be the server getting attacked, not you specifically 😛

[wanton zealot]

It was just very suspicious in the specific scenario

[empty canopy]

How to join a worst case scenario server?

[terse cloak]

by going to the server browser and searching for WCS or W.C.S or however its written and then pressing join

[empty canopy]

the problem is that I clicked all with no filters and I have like 20 servers to choose from

[terse cloak]

are you on arma reforger experiemental?

[empty canopy]

yes

[terse cloak]

get off that and go to your library and look for arma reforger

[empty canopy]

ohhhh

thx

[drifting needle]

Is the only way to do single player stuff with a network distance over 1000m to host it as multiplayer?

[tawdry kindle]

Ace's docker container has persistence now

[weak ibex]

anyone know of any decent way to disable FIA spawns in conflict? honestly just want to generate a bunch of empty capture points so i can practice flying around and landing and shit in the hip before inflicting myself upon a public lobby lol

[valid copper]

Maybe use the Game Master mode to practise flying, there are no FIA unless you place them

[weak ibex]

yeah that's what i was doing before, but i just wanted to do a locally hosted conflict or something so it actually generates spots for me to fly to. since obviously they don't necessarily all line up with major map PoIs and whatnot

[flat atlas]

Anyone know any maps that have a lot of trenchs in it?

[wispy storm]

Is it possible to remove the Sat-Map?

[terse cloak]

?

[hoary nacelle]

Sorry about phone pic. What does the icon not lit represent?

This

[fluid vessel]

arsenal is not built

[hoary nacelle]

Ahh. But it is. Must be a bug.

[fluid vessel]

i feel like it happens with arsenals the most

[gleaming holly]

Are you sure? I thought the arsenal was the half-tube looking icon and the one in the pic was the new supply depot

[hoary nacelle]

Are you talking about the extra supply containers? I have places that as well.

[fluid vessel]

i dont think the supply storage had an icon at all

[gleaming holly]

Huh, ill have to double check in SP at some point then, i never really put a ton of stock in those icons as theyre somewhat inaccurate and unreliable

[fluid vessel]

as far as i know, the arenal has a supply looking icon due to the fact that it'd spawn more supplies in connected bases in legacy conflict

[narrow prairie]

Those icons are sometimes all wrong compared to what actually has been built in the base. At least in 1.6 HQC.

[calm goblet]

Not to be that guy but, does anyone know of a resource to help player understand common terminology used in Arma Reforger servers? For example terms like Huey, JLTV, FOB, etc. Things of that nature. Any help is welcomed. Thank you.

[mild island]

maybe try google

[calm goblet]

Super helpful thanks!

[tawny sapphire]

This terminology is generally military acronyms. They aren't specific to Reforger or any other game.

[gleaming holly]

Google works, best bet is something like "<acronym> military"

[tawny sapphire]

I'm not a "milsim-er" but, I would guess many of those are used https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._government_and_military_acronyms

[topaz whale]

Would be good to look up the names of vehicles as well since two of your examples are vehicles.

[wispy storm]

My satellite map looked absolutely terrible. But I managed to fix it.

[tawdry kindle]

ngl I wonder what this hole in the turret is for (all it shows is potentially the side of the gun's elevation drive/circle)

[bold ridge]

is there any way to see outside when inside of the LAV drivers seat in 1st person only?

i can just go 3rd person but i want to have times when my camera is just inside the vehicle the hear that specific humming when im on the road towards the point

[terse cloak]

No unless you open the hatch

[autumn dust]

it is access to the ejection port for the shell casings

[tawdry kindle]

Do you know if she'll ejection lead to jamming? Ie like a field modification

[autumn dust]

https://afvdatabase.com/usa/pics/lav25/lav25.html

[tawdry kindle]

That image needs context
those are supposedly chutes that lead to where the casing are actually ejected.
I assume for ease of access for maintenance

Also I wish that website had more than just US stuff

[autumn dust]

no those are the ports from which the shells/links come out of

well the chutes are labled 10 and 11

and then you see the ports marked as AP EJECT HE EJECT etc

[tawdry kindle]

mass confusion https://youtu.be/aI7ac7w7Teo?t=30

[autumn dust]

not for shells then, probably for the belt links

[tawdry kindle]

maybe

I'm searching dvids because my autism wants to know if shit comes out of those ports

[autumn dust]

10. AP link ejection chute. 11. HE link ejection chute.

[tawdry kindle]

Ah It does say that
I got so hold up on the casings

[bold ridge]

theres slits for the btr that lets you see outside,

and so does the LAV woth 3 front facing window esque things. they should just give it some effort to make ot function since theyve modelled it in already

[half locust]

proper periscopes are said to be WIP since version 1.3xx

New pc player here. What are some good servers to play on that are close to vanilla but with a larger player count? Trying to get my bearings and don’t want to go to crazy yet with modded content but I enjoy the bigger lobbies

[half locust]

@brisk basin wrong channel

[flint hazel]

EXD does a good job at that.

[jovial tusk]

Quick question — is there any way to stop mods (like RHS Content 2) from re-downloading every time I join a different Reforger server? It keeps putting me back in queue.

[chrome sphinx]

Most likely they use different versions of the mod hence it needs to update/downgrade

[jovial tusk]

So any solution?

[half locust]

if server A is running version X and server B is running version Y, your local files will need to be updated / downgraded to match server version. Server owners can lock specific mod to a set version (up to 3 previous version afaik)

there is nothing you can do outside of manually backup various version of the mod locally

[jovial tusk]

Yea that's so annoying

Thx for the help

[half locust]

it is. this server option is meant to limit server auto-updating mods and breaking working scenarious / missions. However, this means there is additional headache for the users, especially when switching servers

[spare abyss]

Hello; new here, I wanted to know the official gamemodes because I dont see them explained anywhere

[half locust]

official game mods are basically Conflict (pvpve), Combat Ops(pve) and Capture & Hold - basically AAS (pvp)

there is also Elimination available which is sp

Conflict, which is the main gamemod has a full description available in the ingame Game Manual

[topaz whale]

Campaign and the one helicopter mission too

[half locust]

yeah true, both sp

[fossil condor]

When are the devs adding the mi-26 and why is it not in this update

[terse cloak]

cuz its not on roadmap?

[gleaming holly]

They aren't, we aren't getting any new helicopters

[fossil condor]

Was just joking, it wouldn't even fit in the helipad

[glass trellis]

I think if the devs were to add larger helicopters, they’d need to add a second helipad which would then function somewhat similarly to the heavy vehicle depot

[junior wasp]

Just go onto the current helipads and change the scale from 1.0 to 1.5

[twin blade]

Tbh I would be fine if they made it so that they could spawn only at airbases. You know with the Mi26 being big airplane size

Maybe in Arma 4 idk. Would be dope if smaller bases couldn't spawn more influential vics. Like only mil bases can spawn MBTs and IFVs. Airbases can only spawn something like a mi 26 and obviously fixed wing. Would make it so that in Arma 4, players would also cap bases on what type of vehicles they can get out of it.

But thats just what I think.

[gleaming holly]

Centrally located airfields would be perfect for this, especially on large maps

[versed rapids]

Hello guys am looking desinger picture arma reforger

[twin blade]

Like for example, regular mob on the soviet side could get armored troop transports and Mi-8s out. Like BTRs and the such. But the heavier stuff would be only spawnable at military bases like mil base levie, so think T-72s, BMPs and all. Airbases could get Mi-8s and Mi-24s out, and hoping Mi26 as well.

[tawdry berry]

there are airports in every island, the little AN 2 would be an interesting addition

[half locust]

rephrase, in english, with details what you are looking for, so i can direct you towards the proper channel

any mod you subscribe to youll also need to activate in the mod manager menu.

Its a major update but there is no date set for it. Updates dont get dates and at most you will get the countdown 3 days before update

did the ak 74 get a nerf in 1.7 i just put 10 rounds into a ai with a 6b2 and he ate all 10 easy didnt even knock him out

i was using fmj ammo

[glass trellis]

I did notice some pretty bad desync issues last I played so it might be that

[limpid glade]

yea i was on a EU server and arma hit reg is arma hit reg but i didn't think i would be that bad

my ping was sitting at about 100ms which for a NA player isnt bad but i did notice a lot of performance issues and other funky stuff

[glass trellis]

Yea I killed a guy but it took ages for him to drop it was mad

[limpid glade]

what confused me is i shoot in long burst of like 10 to 15 rounds which would drop anyone easy but he just stood there and tanked it i put all 10 rounds square in his chest from 15 feet away didnt miss a single shot and he still killed me

i also shot a guy right between the eyes with a makarov and it still took another 4 or 5 bullets to kill him

[regal river]

There's the phantom

[fossil condor]

I did it here https://feedback.bistudio.com/tag/arma_reforger/

[steel yew]

What mod had it were the enemies would scream in pain while they’re dying or bleeding out?

[junior wasp]

brutal voices?

[steady otter]

So real quick lads, do AI mortar operators account for wind or are they not smart enough to do that?

[hoary nacelle]

Well I can't say for sure, but one scenario we played had mortar set so it knew player location. The mortar fire hit where you were located, down the small house you might be in or even small shed, until you are not there by killing you, or you moved, in which case it followed you. Very unrealistic. This particular mod is known to implement console or arcade like features so it is possible they disabled wind affecting the rounds. Assuming the modder did not disable wind affecting rounds, I would say AI accounts for it.

[astral yacht]

are there any servers yall would recomend for a newbie?

[topaz whale]

Do the training first and then hop on an official Conflict HQ server. Or if you want some practice against AI first you can join a Combat Ops or play the SP missions

[distant pine]

im doing the tutorial, but the recruit options isnt there

when i press p nothing happens

[astral yacht]

what are some modded servers yall recomend

[worldly flame]

for recruiting the AI, did you try just doing one of the commands like Follow me and then trying again?
because consistently when I am a squad leader in multiplayer and I've put down the recruitable AI, I have to like use the command wheel a couple of times before it gives me the recruit option. and I do like follow me twice and then it will give me the recruit option

[hoary nacelle]

I experience the same. Approach AI and try to recruit, but instead of "Recruit" there are just commands. I usually have to select a command then appoach again and recruit. This is just with the first one. I can approach another right after and recruit is available.

this workshop is Honestly shit asf

[prime oracle]

What do you guys normally do to find someone that’s ambushing from the tree line? I usually end up dying two or three times before I can actually get rid of one.

[lapis ridge]

best to keep the gunshot direction in mind as you flank, you wont win the combat cycle because he expects and knows where you are, peeking is asking for headshots

If you have the dudes just spray into the bushes, aim for the floor to get his legs to prevent any manuver from the rat

I dont think people engage from deep in the forest often, usually the borders. suppress fire is more likely to hit a tree deeper into a forest

[prime oracle]

Okay, thanks.

[valid copper]

Remember the Direction, Report to squad and/or Platoon, than get the Binos out and look for the ambushee from unsuspected angle. shoot back or Flank around to get him

[lyric stirrup]

how to share modlist with friend? i send him the file but idk what to do with it so my friend will have it in his game

[prime oracle]

I try to report it to my squad and platoon, but they usually do absolutely nothing about it.

Is there anything specific to look for or patterns to use while looking with binoculars (assuming they’re not moving)?

[valid copper]

I would suggest, that you find a group- squad that you regulary play with or find a community server that cares about Teamwork, that way your squad will care about your callouts. Binos will find anything within a couple of hundreds of Meters, just slowly pan from one side to the other and than back.

[prime oracle]

Alright, thank you.

[robust burrow]

How do I improve visibility and clarity at longer distances?

[worldly flame]

I think for Arma games you gotta have the anti-aliasing graphics settings enabled to make out shapes at a distance. I find one of the *AA settings like MSAA to x2 or something really helps visually for longer distances

[hoary nacelle]

What resolution are you running? That will have big impact... even on what settings are able to improve. I run 3840x1600 and have hardware AA at 2x. Post processing AA > none.

[neat sluice]

reforger wont get past the loading screen and i dont know why... can anyone help me out?

[robust burrow]

I'm on 2560x1440 with MSAA at 2x & SMAA high. Everything at distance (above 400m) appears slightly pixelated

Would increased resolution scale (above 125%) be a better option instead?

Or maybe even nvcp aliasing settings?

[hoary nacelle]

Wouldn't think you would have that issue at that res.

[robust burrow]

Mayhaps, I'm not sure about the pixelation despite having AA on though

[robust burrow]

The clarity in Arma 3 is great compared to this, I really dont know how it's so different for me in Reforger

[hoary nacelle]

Meant wouldn't... corrected it

[robust burrow]

Yeah that's the thing, clarity is typically a 1080p problem which I shouldn't be having

Is there a way to completely fully reset game graphics settings?

[hoary nacelle]

Can you provide some screenshots to show the issue?

[hoary nacelle]

Yes.. delete the config file. Let me find location.

[robust burrow]

I'm not on PC at the moment, but I will take some when I get the opportunity

[hoary nacelle]

I changed mine so wont be able to provide default but something like C:\Users\yourusername\Documents\My Games\ArmaRefroger\profile\ .save\app1874880_userxxxxxxxxxxxx\settings.

[robust burrow]

Best I can do now is describing, for example on surfaces you'd typically find aliasing (trusses, telephone wires, etc) there is still noticeable aliasing despite the AA settings

Regardless I think starting from a clean slate will help most

[robust burrow]

I will try this, thank you very much 🙏

[hoary nacelle]

Move all but the inputusersettings one. Start game and it will recreate the two you moved. If it don't fix the issue, you can move them back.

[robust burrow]

I see, thanks

[hoary nacelle]

Well I was going to post a screenshot so you could see what it looks like on a different system but I don't know if Discord strips images down or not. Red X behind house is 400m.

[eager sandal]

ultrawide monitor seems cool. My next wishlist for a monitor 😁

[fossil condor]

Are there server side distance view settings? Its so annoying flying with a helicopter and you have to be stupidly close to a base to know where to shoot at because user placed entities only spawn in at close range even with distance settings on max

[visual parrot]

Yeah, same as your game settings you can set the server up to 12.000 meters. Or you can use mods that make the distance even bigger.

Default server settings are 1.500 m so if you don't change it yourself that's as far as it lets you see.

[fossil condor]

but does that affect only viewing distance in general or the spawning of entities

because I can see as far as where they should be spawned and further out

[cunning whale]

not sure if im in the right chat but does anyone know if there is a decent Mac Millan Tac-50 mod out there

[dense briar]

Anyone able to see RougeExtracts server? Was just in it and it restarted and now I cant see it anymore its been gone for over 30mins for me? I can't join the discord to see what's going on bc of DoubleCounter

[clear cosmos]

i sent a screenshot in #screenshots_arma , can anybody tell me what clan that is

theyre relatively large, in almost every EU everon conflict server, and if theres more than 5 in a team at a time theyre guaranteed to win

[molten fern]

anyone know what the reforged studios discord link is? really hoping to get insight on their mods

[rustic stream]

Hello Arma folk. Is there a channel on this discord (or elsewhere) where clans/ servers can look for other groups to play against?

[hidden moon]

yes on Arma Multiplayer sektion.

[rustic stream]

Thank you

[hollow kelp]

Will we get a "First Contact" scenario like the one in Arma 3 for Arma Reforger?
I think that, with this excellent engine and beautiful graphics, it would be even more immersive. Reforger's setting lends itself perfectly to this.

[near bramble]

Is anyones scenarios tabs empty or is it just me?

[hoary nacelle]

Fully listed out here.

[near bramble]

It happened recently, switched to pc then my scenarios tab got eated :(( no mods installed that could be causing it

[frosty lichen]

Any timeline for v1.7?

[terse cloak]

no

[reef minnow]

Is there a way to save progress in the Scenario framework? I've tried some mods without success.

[wet raptor]

Anyone know what mod pack the kestrel wind meter is in? I’m pretty sure it’s called an anemometer on the game

[gleaming holly]

Pretty sure ACE Weather Dev has it

[wet raptor]

Much appreciated

[agile drift]

how do i make the AI more difficult in workshop scenarios?

[hoary nacelle]

Wish I could be of help on that but I have no idea.

[paper lily]

Anyone know if any PVP or Conflict servers are running the M777 Mod, I keep looking cant find any?

[near bramble]

they still exist on experimental amusingly but stable they’re just

[hoary nacelle]

That is strange. Have you removed the game completely?

[near bramble]

No, it’s fine just a bit inconvient

[trail hamlet]

You can use https://www.battlemetrics.com/servers/reforger to search by the mods, either it will be in mods, or just search for its name

[languid lodge]

@austere stirrup this channel is for Reforger and recruiting a mod maker is only in #creators_recruiting following the required template from the pinned messages

[austere stirrup]

thank you

[pearl stag]

Does anyone know the mod that W.C.S uses in order to get the camo face paint?

Or what modpack it is associated with?

[sick python]

GC face paint maybe

[pearl stag]

thank you

[wind flower]

why is my server browser so buggy today? I have a very fast connection so this shouldnt be an issue

and the tabs dont work correctly either, im on the favourites tab in the picture

[unkempt pawn]

Problems

[last steppe]

yo if im getting my first milsim should i go with arma or squad

[zenith raptor]

Depends what you want. if you want big ops in PVE i would take maybe even Arma 3. If you want PvP it depends on more.

[last steppe]

pvp most likely

[terse cloak]

If you want teamplay then squad

[zenith raptor]

And if youu want to communicate

Have you watched videos on both games?

There are a ton of creators who compare both or review them

[last steppe]

not really

if i get one, ill probably just get the other in a few months

idk which one to start on tho

[terse cloak]

In reforger you can do pve aswell as pvp while squad is mainly pvp with a bad pve. Although squad has more teamplay and comms

Also arma 4 is coming in 2027

[last steppe]

whats your favorite?

[prime oracle]

Is anyone else unable to access The Eastern Front server? It’s locked and needs a password for me.

[half locust]

@wheat viper #creators_recruiting only

[gentle dust]

Does anyone know why, in my local game without mods, I have two primary weapon slots instead of the main slot and the launcher slot?

[glass trellis]

Because that’s how it’s set up in vanilla

You get two slots for a rifle/ rpg/ at mine and a sidearm slot for pistols/ flares

[gentle dust]

Ty

[vivid ferry]

Out of curiosity, what are BI doing to curb the increase of Anti-Semitic and Neo-Nazi leaning usernames we’ve been seeing lately?

And what is best practice for public communities to work with BI to enforce this.

For example: Do in-game reporting features cover this, and are they actioned?

[terse cloak]

Try this #reforger_questions message

[vivid ferry]

Great! Thanks

[ashen kelp]

As Slamsgt said, reporting using the links is the best way to get it handled. Additionally, I would recommend to report players like that to the respective platforms as well - Steam is for example pretty good in taking action against names like these if they receive a report.

[vivid ferry]

Thanks for the insight here again.

Just want to be doing what we can to address this for the wider community, and not just ourselves via community server specific bans

[mighty anvil]

Can I make reforger go into full screen rather than borderless?

With rdr2 running in full screen increases my fps by like 20

[hoary nacelle]

There is no exclusive fullscreen in Reforger. DX12 does not support exclusive natively and I think Reforger is DX12.

[long lance]

Is there a modder / team currently working on RHibs / Dingys? The current rhib model leaves alot to be desired including the handling of the boats, I got some ( a list ) of ideas that would be very beneficial to both RHIBs and Dingys

[slow pagoda]

hes not looking for someone to make it I think. just looking if someone is making a mod like it

[devout bronze]

When is the 1.7 release date

I need to know

[slow pagoda]

as it has been with any other time you have asked when? there is no definite date given.

[fossil condor]

hopefully never if they think the new driving is okay

[covert raft]

Bohemia doesn’t do release dates

[fossil condor]

Does anyone know how I can run the game fullscreen without having to use scaled resolution

[covert raft]

Better than old driving

[fossil condor]

unrealistic grip is better than the old driving... sure

[gentle dust]

Do you know of any way to export the Tacops maps to the in-game map or something similar?

[paper lily]

omg ty didn't know you could search by mods

[pearl stag]

are there any servers that are not official W.C.S but use those kind of mods? im tired of the same maps and everon is too laggy/russia sided for them

[grand flame]

75th Ranger regiment and old guys servers have set mods.

The 75th rotates different maps every three weeks to a month too.

[pearl stag]

Cool

[blazing oracle]

is the reforger workshop down ? Cant view, enable or download dependencies

[slow pagoda]

dont think so 🤔

[blazing oracle]

damn something on my end maybe, thanks

[coral token]

Anybody now how the DayZ mod is these days? Tried about a year ago but wasn't much to it, me n the wife are on console so we don't want to download it again just to check it out lol

[half locust]

then feel free to check it out :))

[barren lotus]

Anyone knows a mod that fixes the absolute terrible in doors lighting? Where players turn into dark silhouettes that you can't distinguish

[coral token]

..what I'm saying is, we're on console and don't want to waste to the time clearing our mod cache and downloading the DayZ mod if it's not worth it, that's y I'm here asking what state the mod is in n if it's better than before

[barren lotus]

Or when you're looking at a window in broad daylight and it's pitch black darkness

[half locust]

i get it, yet that is pretty subjective, so the best thing to do is test it on your own

[visual parrot]

We've livestreamed it not too long ago with DayZ brand manager Scotty and he loved it

dayz 2 confirmed, fully on enfusion?
😜

[covert wing]

When using keyboard to steer vehicles the wheels slowly turn whilst on controller they snap. Is it possible to emulate this on controller in game as well?

[hoary nacelle]

Keyboards are not proportional. Its an all or nothing situation so the rate is controlled. Controllers are proportional so the ability for the player to control the turn proportionately is already there. I think it would take a mod that adjust the actual turn rate when using a controller but not sure one exists.

[unkempt pawn]

Hello. Is there no option to remove/Reset a camera position ?

[fierce oar]

Is it possible to disable GM camera highest position cap? I want to shoot Everon from 12k

[wind flower]

anyone know why I cannot deploy this radio? I've got 1.5k supplies right next to it

oh just found out they removed it or something

[wind flower]

do I need to deploy a command truck or can i just take a construction truck in order to establish a radio extension signal?

[terse cloak]

command truck gives like 2km of radio range and construction truck does nothing by itself but you can use it to build a base and then set up a radio on it to make its range 2km, but the base will be seen by the enemy if they have radio range to it and you need to place a request to build the base

[wind flower]

ah i see ill just use a command truck then, thank you

im guessing i need supplies for it to work?

[terse cloak]

nope

[wind flower]

oh okay

[terse cloak]

but if you want ppl spawning on the mhq then you can put supplies in it, but it is a bit bugged. It doesnt like to recognize the supplies inside of it, so iirc you would need a vehicle outside of it with supplies

[wind flower]

ah I see, thanks

[wind flower]

do I still get exp from killing FIA if my AI recruited soldiers kill them for me?

[terse cloak]

No

[wind flower]

ah thanks

[wind flower]

is team killing bannable on reforger

[terse cloak]

yeah you can get banned for it

[wind flower]

ah cool thanks

[slow carbon]

Yes, so dont do it.

[thin geyser]

what do the yellow flower looking things that mark towns mean? civilian controlled?

[glass trellis]

Got an image? I think I know what you’re talking about which would be based out of radio range

[thin geyser]

i can send in your dms

[glass trellis]

Yea that’s stuff out of your teams radio range

In other words you can capture it/ reconfigure it in the case of radio masts

[thin geyser]

thanks

[tiny fjord]

Im coming from arma 3, where i had a unit with dedicated op every time we logged in at the same time.

I just bought reforger, and the menus and finding a game doesnt seem to work like thaT? Im a bit lost, i want to find a server witha decent mod pack, running an op or mission right now

[narrow prairie]

Check #multiplayer_events

[neat patrol]

Cannot load Project ' /app0/addons/data/ArmaReforger.gproj'!

Is it known if this fucking error will be fixed anytime soon? It’s fucking annoying istg

[slow pagoda]

might mean some file corruption on your system. Try verify the game install files

[neat patrol]

It doesn’t happen to me, it happens to PlayStation users in my server and I doubt it’s cs of corrupted files because even uninstalling the game and installing back the mods they still can join

Also

1. Not every PlayStation user has this issue

2. Some of em have it but after restarting the game fixes it

3. Some of em will always have it even if they delete the game and install it back

Also x2

Removing specific mods that didn’t cause the issue before seem to fix it temporarily but as soon as I add another mod doesn’t matter if it’s new or old there is high chances that issue appears again for some users

Also x3

I saw somewhere that Bacon said it happened because of limit of mods around 215 but idk I about that

[eager ermine]

Anyone know how to set up a .json for mods that require it? For example HAC custom names and rank

[polar sierra]

Does the game save locally hosted MP scenarios, so players can do a scenario in sessions (and switch between SP and MP on the same scenario)? And if it does, what does the persistence framework add to this?

[silver ermine]

I tried deleting some of my Mods, and now it just crashes my game on the inital loading screen. I have tried uninstalling it, as well as verifying the game files. Anyone have a solution?

[spare abyss]

How can I try the FIA in conflict? do i need a experimental code?

[topaz whale]

Don't need a code. You just need to download the Experimental branch on Steam. It's a separate download.

Why won't you let me loiter!?! Don't give me the option if you won't let me do it!

[glass trellis]

Why do you want to loiter? There’s Americans invading!

[topaz whale]

There will be plenty of time for them later. I want to loiter now! I've never seen that action on the building there and I'm pretty sure I go up there quite a bit.

[spare abyss]

got it

[cobalt tartan]

Who knows how to transfer multiplayer server mods to my own build? I liked the mods on the server and wanted to make a build specifically with those mods, but I couldn't find a way to do it.

[slow pagoda]

some mods mightt not quite work well like that

but best bet would be to talk to their authors

[winter zephyr]

Specifically, the icon indicates it is unknown which faction controls that base (because it is out of radio range).

[odd ridge]

I think I might've gotten spoiled on 128 player servers, are 48 player servers worth playing and why?

[terse cloak]

Better server performance

[earnest trench]

Hello guys,
Is it planned to publish the conflict legacy scenario on kolguyev ? It’s currently on the workbench and unlisted. We would love to play it on vanilla.

Will FIA be available on conflict legacy or only HQC ?

Any plans on more data on logs for servers admins in vanilla ? Or just an option for auto kick due to team kills it’s a huge problem.

Thank you for your work and have a great day

[terse cloak]

No, yes, idk

[cobalt tartan]

No, I was asking about something else. Is it possible to copy a server build for a local server (for example, to practice with weapons from a mod)? I have more than 400 addons downloaded, and I don't really want to spend an hour or two to repeat the server build.

[hoary nacelle]

If I am understanding your question correctly, yes. You just need to copy the mods from your game mods folder to the appropropriate mod folder of your server. They do not have to be downloaded again. Create a local dedicated and load the mods that are running on the server you are trying to mimic.

[slow pagoda]

you would have to look at the list of mods a server has and rebuild that into your local server config

We dont have a copy server settings button though

[cobalt tartan]

Yes, thank you for your response, that's exactly what I needed. BTW, I really need this button, because when you have a lot of mods, it's not very convenient to create your own build. I would like to be able to copy someone else's ready-made build and play with it or add a few of my own mods.

[slow pagoda]

you can make a feature suggestion in the feedback tracker about it

[gusty lagoon]

Can someone give like a quick TLDR/ELI5 of what exact change is breaking all the mods in 2 days? Is it just the API changes/overhauls?

[terse cloak]

Any of the renamed stuff in the tools

[gusty lagoon]

Got it, appreciate it

[zinc sinew]

Hi,
I would like to play with my mate. If he creates a steam account and I add him as a family member linked to my account, and I add his steam account to my GeForce Now account, can I play with him, or will we have to buy another copy of the game?

[hoary nacelle]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say you each need your own copy. I don't think FS was every meant to allow the account owner and a family member to play the title simulatneously > For obvious reasons you describe in your inquiry.

[slow pagoda]

each need to own the game

[flat atlas]

hello i am looking for some help my friends and i want to start a milsim on arma but we need help with the json if anyone is willing to teach us how to work it we would greatly appreciate
