I want to change the name and display photo of my OH-6 reskin to make it more distinct from the normal MH-6 but i dont know where the component is, can anyone point me in the right direction

[remote estuary]

editable entity component

or editable vehicle component, a derivative

[thick lake]

They have Hierarchy and also RPL Component inside the Prefab

[remote estuary]

are they in the inventory of the weapon when it spawns?

[thick lake]

Yes, also when i equip the weapon to my character and chekcing the inventory. The muzzle will show in the Render. But not on the "Main Frame"

i need to dismount it, but it into my inventory and then back to the weapon. then it will show

[remote estuary]

are you sure it is completely invisible instead of being positioned at the scene root of your weapon model?

[thick lake]

How can i get the Position of the Entitiy?

or how can i check the Hierarchy

[remote estuary]

um just look the the gun where the scene root is, they might be all squished there

[thick lake]

Omg.. found it... Problem is my attached GadgetComponent-Script

[gaunt marsh]

Hi. I made a custom conflict scenario and It is running on a server but people are complaining about that nametags are not visible. The only config I saw about nametags IS on the "gamemodeCampaign.et" and It is marked as enable. So i dont have Idea where to search for fix the nametags not appearing. Can someone give me a clue?

Any peer tool fix for

Trying to register connection of possibly unauthorized client.

Did a complete reinstall of both game and workbench, which fixed instant crash of it but now I am stuck with above message after the peer launches.

more context from log:

mission is completely empty, so cant be anything script related really

[remote estuary]

Point peertool addons dir at your workbench addons dir

Save everything, recompile scripts

Should work

[sly summit]

is this a param or sth, i can only set exe location

[remote estuary]

launch params are on the bottom or something of the plugin config

[blazing remnant]

Is there a way to remove a dependency from a mod, if so how

[remote estuary]

file - options in workbench

[frozen lava]

How do I unlock my own published mod for editing and updating? There used to be 2 projects of the same mod in the launcher. One read only and one unlocked to publish updates. The unlocked version disappeared??

[tight dune]

remove .pak file from your source addon

and put your mod in same folder as where downloaded from workshop mods are located

[frozen lava]

yea its in there because I do have it downloaded in game as well

Ok I got it back. Thank You!

[frozen lava]

Its back but I'm missing my override folders where I need to edit stuff

When I created the project I created it in a separate folder and the project is missing from that folder as well, Its in the default folder for workbench addons

ALright well i made my project a dependency for a new project and somehow it overwitted the original project. gotta recreate everything now oof. Thanks for replying and trying to help though 👍

[left dragon]

Hello, I've asked this question on the forum so I figured I would ask here as well. I am new to using the Arma Reforger Tools and I was wondering how I would import different equipment such as modern weapons/uniforms/equipment etc into my characters loadouts so I can create screenshots. Would appreciate any advice on this. I apologise if this is the wrong place to ask such a question or if it has already been answered hundreds of times before. Thanks

[lethal mirage]

Gear is specified in components on the character entity/prefab.
Have a look at your characters BaseLoadoutManagerComponent, SCR_InventoryStorageManagerComponent and CharacterWeaponSlotComponent.

[left dragon]

I know that bit I just dont know how to use mods in the editor for modern equipment

modern equipment will not show in the editor

[lethal mirage]

You first add the mod as a Workbench project (open WB, add existing, browse to mod file).
Then you copy the GUID, open your own project, go to Options and paste it there.

[vale sequoia]

so im tryna use a shitty ak 47 mod i made but when i download it and try to use it in game its not in any of the arsenals?

i can use it in the world editor but yeah cant find it in game

[loud hawk]

Why is my weapon preview not rendering? When I pick it up it makes my charecter disapear

[brazen plaza]

i joined server but Waves dont spawn anybody idea?

[brazen plaza]

can somebody help pls with create map?

[left dragon]

Sorry for the delay. I greatly appreciate your instructions, I will give it a try. Thanks again

[manic ledge]

Hello guys, this happens when i press play in the workbench.. does anyone know of a fix?

it works ofc if i remove the TimeAndWeatherManager but isnt it needed for the weather to work?

[vale sequoia]

hmmm

[drifting ledge]

you have to add it to the arsenal, maybe check the wiki for it

[vale sequoia]

thank you i got everything but for some reason the names still ak74. any idea how to change the name and description of the weapon? cant find it on the wiki

[drifting ledge]

in the weaponComponent there is UI Info and there you have to put the name and description. dont use # if you are not using a string table for translations. just put your name in there

[vale sequoia]

which ui info class do i do if you know?

none of them are changing the name of it in game

[drifting ledge]

WeaponUiInfo

[vale sequoia]

have this set and it doesnt work hmm

it has the mag and stuff i made for it and all that and sounds different but for some reason it just wont name in the game

sorry for askin so many questions aha theres just like no info online about it and its confusing

[drifting ledge]

did you press apply to prefab?

[manic ledge]

spent time to make a terrain in arma reforger, now i cant even test it as the workbench keeps crashing... how did they even make the everon map? unless that took years cause of all the crashes

[vale sequoia]

if you mean like file then save prefabs yes

[drifting ledge]

try and change the name in SCR_WeaponAttachmentsStorageComponent aswell (Item Display Name)

[vale sequoia]

that worked! thank you 🙂

[brazen plaza]

i created scenario but when i add with gamemaster Aresenal box i cant take any weapons why?

[vale sequoia]

🙂

first mod done

[drifting ledge]

when does the workbench crash and did you add all the managers on the terrain?

[manic ledge]

it worked at some point then i imported a modified terrain of what i had.. ive been iterating on it a lot and test it a lot in the workbench.. but suddenly it just stopped being able to be playable

[brazen plaza]

i need a scripter who can make for scenario pls write PM

[brazen plaza]

why i cant take a Backpack?
is there mod needed?

[drifting ledge]

because you dont have any supplies

[brazen plaza]

can explain pls or say how i can fix it ?
its just a arsenalBox_US_1 added to world

or u mean this class have no

[drifting ledge]

uhh good question. maybe you can restock it with gm but i dont know how the supplies system works.

or if you are in the workbench you can search for supplies and i think you will find something that might help

[brazen plaza]

dont understand in Overthrow i can loot this supply or some other mods

[drifting ledge]

you can override the prefab and disable that you need suplies for looting it

[mellow maple]

hi i need help i need modify worlds

all time locked

impossible unlock

sub scene

ok save world in my new folder name worlds

i not understand

[brazen plaza]

can i load custom world ? from other mods?

or i have to create always mine or i can use some world in mods created?

[drifting ledge]

You cant modify the existing terrain of a map that isnt yours. You just can create a sub scene and you can place everything you want. If you want to modify the terrain itself you habe to create your own map

[brazen plaza]

its there way to download finished map?
and why i cant just load the finished map and start with it to edit ?

i dont understand why i cant just dowload a fucking terrain custom like in arma 2 epoch

[drifting ledge]

You can Download it in the Workshop and create a mod add the map as dependency. In there you can place buildings and props but you cant use the terrain Tool or remove the buildings and props that are on the map allready.

[brazen plaza]

so u can do a shit with this stuff
and you have to create your own...

its made for people...

i dont see a problem to share terrain with other people to make faster mods and create maps

[reef ferry]

sorry what?

you need to create a dependency mod that alters the original one (license permitting)

not sure what you are missing

also i suggest you mind your language

[brazen plaza]

if i want to take some licensed terrain from mod what is problem?

[reef ferry]

define take

[brazen plaza]

i want use some Terrain its already in workshop

why i cant use it? for new map creating

why on forum people cant share Terrains that is licensed allready and in workshop inside

Textures/Terrain

where is problem to sharing the licensed mod ? with all users here

they must first after edit it make the same step they have to do to add to workshop (get license)

[remote estuary]

you use it as a dependency and make a sub scene

or if the license allows you can modify theirs

[brazen plaza]

i just ask for texture terrain why its cant be shared what is problem?

[remote estuary]

you ask the modder and if they want to share it with you they will

[brazen plaza]

thats not modder create it why i should ask modder?

[remote estuary]

then who made it

you mean vanilla textures? workbench won't allow you to export them

[brazen plaza]

is tehre no way to export like with cpbo by arma 2

[remote estuary]

no, you can not export textures in workbench

[brazen plaza]

so modders forbbiden you to use allready in workshop added terrain and textures...

[remote estuary]

what are you actually trying to do?

[brazen plaza]

i want to create own mod but using allready finished terrain in workshop

[remote estuary]

then you add the terrain as a dependency to your project and make a subscene of it in workbench

[brazen plaza]

but there is a lot a stuff which i dont need AI scripts an so

i have a good idea
maybe Modders can make an forum with shared licensed Terrains/textures/worlds

[remote estuary]

AI scripts?

[brazen plaza]

or in workshop

[remote estuary]

usually you have empty terrain with no game mode as the first scene

then game mode/mission as subscene of it

so just edit the empty terrain scene

[lone mantle]

Does anyone else have problems with the Replace with prefab> In Map conext action in the world editor? I could swear I used to be able to replace the prefab that way, but it doesn't seem to do anything now for me...

[unborn yew]

Has the SCR_FactionCallsignInfo functionality changed? Prior to 1.0, predefined groups would inherit their name. Now I can't get them to simply be named the group.

[loud hawk]

@pearl coyote

why

[pearl coyote]

BI said i have to have a image so i used what i had on hand

or you mean the healing? yeah i feel like it's too fast in vanilla

injuries should be more lasting until either you get to a hospital or a proper medic tends to you

[manic ledge]

yea no out of combat call of duty healing 😄

[pearl coyote]

the mod probably won't get much attention tho. i made it mainly for my combat ops enhanced server so when me and my friends play we can have a more hardcore experience

if any other server chooses to use it that would be cool. i think modded conflict servers could benefit from it as medic players would suddenly be much more powerful

[manic ledge]

if i get an illegal read crash report, how do i find out where its trying to read?

i read that there might be a folder workbench is trying to access but cant

i could drive around my terrain fine, then i added a spline and a river to that spline + modifying the terrain to fit the river.. now it crashes everytime i try play the map in the workbench

this workbench is nothing but a uphill battle in a snowstorm

[remote estuary]

make sure you send the crash reports, adding some description to the window and pressing the send button

[manic ledge]

i do 😄 poor guy who has to look over those reports tho..

[small swan]

Hi, I believe that the new way to approach the GarbageCollector might work for big scenarios like Conflict etc. but its just not working for smaller scenarios that take place on one spot. A Capture&Hold needs a different approach and it worked perfectly as it was. Please bring back this module. Otherwise CAH will finally die and with this probably some of your community.

[fluid laurel]

CAH can't die because it was never alive. It never had a player-base and no servers run it. That would probably be because it's a boring, uninspired game-mode, nothing to do with the garbage manager system.

See #enfusion_scenario message If your problem is fear of dead bodies.

[small swan]

Well @fluid laurel , that is your opinion but there are other people who enjoy playing CAH because they are only playing casually. I don't see a reason to be disrespectful on this topic. Anyhow - thanks for the link but sadly I don't understand how I can modify the GarbageCollector and have not found any documentation at the wiki site. Bohemia created official CAH scenarios that might not be played on public but on private servers. The template included a special module (GarbageCollector) which was removed with some of the last versions and now is causing that bodies are piling up while playing. BTW: This mod might be the temp. solution: https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/5F0913BAAC69ABF5

[fluid laurel]

Apologies I didn't mean to come across as disrespectful. Just replying abrasively to an abrasively worded request. Scroll down to bottom of properties on GameMode entity to select Garbage config. Configs are located in Configs/Core/ . By default it's not set to remove dead bodies; I guess because their impact is negligible, let the bodies pile up.

That mod is deceptive; its not "fixing" anything, just halving the timers on the Conflict config.

[small swan]

Thanks. I will give it a try!

[manic ledge]

Anyone elses workbench freezing when trying to create a 2d topo map of your terrain?

[drifting ledge]

it takes time let it run

[manic ledge]

so even if it says not responding i should just let it run still?

[drifting ledge]

yes

[manic ledge]

alright i'll try

do you have a rough number on how long it takes?

i know it can vary for pc to pc ofc

[manic ledge]

still stuck at 23% lol this is gonna take some serious time im guessing

[drifting ledge]

how big is your map?

[manic ledge]

pretty big but this is just for testing purposes

i figured out why i was crashing the other day also, atleast i believe i did. Its cause i saved the map in a documents folder where it goes read only .. atleast thats my theory

map is about the size of chernaus from dayz

btw thanks for your help and responses! Much appreciated! 🙂

does the worknbench need more cores or is it singlecore heavy?

[brazen plaza]

can i spawn AI with this building service texture?

[manic ledge]

is there an out of game site for mods? with better sort/filter options and such? also easier to view

[small swan]

You are talking about SCR_BaseGameMode, right? I don't know if this is special since its a part of the CAH template by Bohemia. The only promising property I could find was MapConfigComponent but couldnt find anything about the configuration of the GarbageCollector. Thanks for any help.

[fluid laurel]

@small swan Looks like you closed the properties rollout? Drag it up from the bottom and then scroll down to the "Unsorted" section

[devout nest]

anyone know how to escape the cursor from the game preview in the editor?

other than alt tab

[frozen lava]

I just hit the windows key real quick.

Anyone know how or if its possible to have predefined groups PW locked by default? theres an option to make it private but then it cant be accessed at all

[unborn yew]

Is there a way to edit the players map/briefing per world file?

[small swan]

Ah! Since its a prefab from Bohemia from the CAH template it looks a little different but I found it. Thank you so much!!! I probably need to copy an instance to my folder since it is locked. Is there any documentation on how to set a collection for dead soldiers? I would love to keep destroyed vehicles because there are limited in my scenarios. Edit1: I found that everything that should be collected must be defined. So I assume it will be class CharacterEntity or maybe Ragdoll or ChimeraCharacter? Do you know the difference between GarbageSystem.conf and GarbageSystemBase.conf? In the GarbageSystemBase.conf there are already some classes defined that are cleaned: Ragdoll, ChimeraCharacter, BaseVehicle and InventoryItemComponent. I doubt that this is already in use because I have never seen something being collected and the distance is 0. Edit2: It works with GarbageSystem.conf and ChimeraCharacter 🙂 ... I selected override to make a file that is not readonly.

[manic ledge]

is there anyway to see the degrees a hill is in the workbench?

[devout nest]

Is there a way to see where a particular config value comes from? I see the MapDescriptorComponent for St. Phillipe on Everon is referencing '#AR-MapLocation-StPhillipe' for its Display Name but I am not sure where to find the file that value is contained in so I can modify it

[drifting ledge]

Its in a string table where we dont have access to

[remote estuary]

how can I disable resource browser from collapsing my folders on its own?

[tropic zodiac]

I would love to have all folders closed by default and keep them open after i opened them myself only.
Resource Browser & Script Editor folders.
In Script Editor first two folders are always open but i never use them and always have to close them myself.

[loud hawk]

What component adds inventory? Trying to make an item have inventory storage but the way I'm doing isn't appearing an inventory selection in the tab menu during testing.

[solid hatch]

guys, i'm in world editor

how can i free move?

i mean, move with asd, open map, teleport

ok, i can move holding rmb, anyway to show the map?

[lone mantle]

It's not deceptive at all. This mod does not just change the lifetimes, but replaces the entire garbage handling with its own logic.

[manic ledge]

god damn it. again my workbench crashes when i try to play the map........ how ppl get things done in this is editor is beyond me. all i did was add some comments to the map for locations i want to build later. Now i get anotehr illegal read error

[tropic zodiac]

On average i have this like up to 50x a day...
At some point you will get used to it and just think to yourself "okay why not?". 😉

To me the tool it crashes the most by far is the "Behavior Editor" esp. in combination with compiling scripts.
It has gotten better 1 year ago there were time's where it crashed every couple minutes for no specific reason.
So that's that.

[manic ledge]

this might be so, but how the hell do i get rid of the crashes without starting over?

if i press p lay from camera it crashes, so i cant test it

[tropic zodiac]

In this case you must have done/changed something workbench don't like.
Maybe check your log(s) for any information about the crash.

[manic ledge]

like - using it? xD

[tropic zodiac]

It's your own map?

[manic ledge]

logs just say illegal read

[tropic zodiac]

You create it?

[manic ledge]

yes and it worked fine earlier, then i put a few comments on the map and a heli to see it from above ingame and now it doesnt work

[tropic zodiac]

So there you may have your answer.

Try removing what you have added.

[manic ledge]

but

i dunno

i add stuff that are not mods

if it cant handle that then i dunno wtf

[tropic zodiac]

At least it would be a first good step to have it not crash.

After this you can re-add it one by one and see what causes the crash.

[remote estuary]

only by waiting until BI fixes it

[tropic zodiac]

There is a lot of vanilla stuff still causing problems.

[manic ledge]

i would normally do this too, but if i cant place simple items and structures without it crashing.. then i dunno

can i run a memtest inwindows or do i need to reboot in bios?

[tropic zodiac]

Maybe you just placed them wrong like below surface or something like that.

[manic ledge]

hmm

should that realy cause a crash and not an error instead?

[tropic zodiac]

There can be many reasons to make it crash it's just one example which comes to mind.

[manic ledge]

ive seen several maps/terrains be complete fully... i have no clue how they got to that stage

[tropic zodiac]

Enfusion is still in a infant state and has many bugs and problems always expect the unexpected.

[manic ledge]

i deleted all my POI comments and that didnt work

instead it crashed and i lost them all cant get them back xD

[tropic zodiac]

Yeah better have a backup copy of the project somewhere on your HDD. 😉

[manic ledge]

hmm i had to remove a lot of stuff but now it works

still

i cant imagine being a dev working with a tool like this

gesus ffing christ lol

[tropic zodiac]

Yeah i sometimes feel the same.
Good it worked for you. 👍

[manic ledge]

ye thanks btw

[tropic zodiac]

Not a problem.
I was just guessing. So i was lucky. 😄

[manic ledge]

well it had to be something i did xD

[tropic zodiac]

Sure things don't stop working uot of the blue for no reason esp. if they always worked bevor.

[manic ledge]

does anyone stream them making stuff for arma reforger sometimes?

[reef ferry]

??

streams the development process? generally or in workbench?

[manic ledge]

yea just the workbench stuff in general realy. im just curious i guess

i guess its more fit for youtube realy but yea im just curious

[reef ferry]

people are generally streaming via discord (less so on this particular discord) and twitch. Depends

[remote estuary]

I used to do that but people kept asking me to slow down all the time

[manic ledge]

xD

[tropic zodiac]

Some ppl have video's on YouTube where they do and explain stuff.
However i guess if it's nothing you are really interested in it will get boring very fast.
At least that's how i felt about it.

[manic ledge]

im always interested in learning and ive watched dozens of youtube videos always. but its not the same as live with commentary and input from chat i guess

just saw the twitch numbers on reforger.. there arew more streamers than viewers xD

[manic ledge]

is it possible to draw on the terrain? like just a white chalk kind of thing xD probably a stupid question but its for planning ahead

or an overlay sort of thing

dunno

[sweet glen]

Hey all, I'm clearly missing something simple. I've created a copy of the repository from git and added the project to the Workbench. I just want to add the M1A1 tank to the vehicle depot for example and I can't because the files are locked.

[unborn yew]

What entity/components control being able to save/load from zeus?

[lethal mirage]

You would probably use decals for that sort of thing

[static shale]

u can only load from zeus on dedicatef server for saving u need to run scenario localy i believe

[unborn yew]

Nah, default scenarios load/save in single player. Custom scenarios aren't so I'm assuming I'm missing something

Im referencing default world files/scenarios now

[static shale]

yeah its inside gamemode editor

saveload

u can spy it away from there

[unborn yew]

Looks like they have an SCR_EditorStruct while the default saveload component does not

[static shale]

spy how the prefab does it

thats its fella

[unborn yew]

FYI, for anyone else who searches for this issue

[static shale]

u need to add that

copy the gamemode editor settinga in youre game mode

if u create a new one in custom game mode u have to set it up yourself

no pro here but thats how i did ut

btw for it to work nice u cannot have weird signs inside youre level name for me it did weird stuff when i used - and such kind of symbols

[shadow stirrup]

I'm having an issue with TimeAndWeatherManager and MainLighting HDR conflicting

when both are in the scenetree, the HDR is unable to adjust, resulting in the viewport going entirely white

[lethal mirage]

🤯

since when is there a command prompt hiding in my walls

i need to know what the ui designer was thinking

[unborn yew]

wtf

[maiden junco]

Making UI for dev tools is hard

i forgive him

them

[mint narwhal]

I'm working on a scenario that uses CaptureAndHold as a dependency (my scenario is a subworld, created from the built-in C&H). So the SCR_AIWorld where the NavMesh files are specified is already present from C&H, and is therefore locked. And I cannot add a second SCR_AIWorld.

The problem is, no NavMesh files are specified.

So EVERY time I open Workbench I have to go in and change the dropdown from "Entity Instance" to "SCR_AIWorld.et (ArmaReforger)" to select the NavMesh files again.

Any ideas why it's behaving that way? How do I get those files to "stick"?

[tight dune]

what screen resolution do you have? It is there since the beginning - here is some old gif from last year https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Resource_Manager#/media/File:armareforger-resource-manager-main-view.gif

[lethal mirage]

1440p. I've seen others have resolution related issues, so it wouldn't surprise me if this was the problem.

[tight dune]

and are you using UI scaling in windows?

[neon ore]

Since forever hahaha, its multiline as well but you need to press shift + enter for new lines

[lethal mirage]

125%, but it looks the same at 100%. Is that not how it should look like?
Otherwise, it could theoretically also be that I just immediately hid it 1.5 years ago and then forgot about it until now. Would have to reset the settings to test that.

[tight dune]

I guess that at 125% it set it in this weird way and then stored those values in register

[crisp anvil]

RESOURCES (E): Could not open '$profile:.save/settings/ReforgerEngineSettings.conf'. File not found.``` how can regenerate them ? or can someone send me theirs, the world editor is stupidly slow just copy past a genericentity take more than 5second or even just renaming an entity is close to 10s
id like to reset everything to default something feels fucked on my install

[remote estuary]

should be recreated when you start the game

or editor

[remote estuary]

try this https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Startup_Parameters#clearSettings

[crisp anvil]

hum ye weird i have a folder between .save and settings folders
My Games\ArmaReforgerWorkbench\profile\.save\app1XXXXXXX0_user7XXXXXXXX5\settings

[tropic zodiac]

I've seen it the first time today as well after you revealed it.
Must be easter egg. 🐣 🎉

[lethal mirage]

One day I'll misclick, hit the border of the Play button, and Arma 4 will open

[crisp anvil]

thx, still multiple seconds just to rename an entity i guess my pc is fucked

[remote estuary]

when I click an entity in the world editor to select it sometimes it takes like 1 second

it happens very often and is quite frustrating

but sometimes it doesn't

maybe it's the same bug

[crisp anvil]

ye also have this issue, for me this 'stutters like' issues came with 1.0

but i also had to rollback windows in that time period :/ im sure my config (5800x3d/64gigs@3200/3080 on 1080p) should handle this pretty easily but maybe my windows is a little fucked

[remote estuary]

I've had this before 1.0, I don't know what triggers it but it drives me nuts

[neon ore]

I had this on my personal computer and it was windows security, i set WB install directory, game data dir and addons dir to exclusions and it went away, not to mention everything became faster, even the game when i did it to it.

[remote estuary]

wtf

[remote estuary]

windows security made clicking entities slower?

[neon ore]

It slows down the entire wb and game, specially when there is a read or write to disk

[remote estuary]

ok

[neon ore]

I was wondering why it was so slow on my personal computer compared to work when my personal computer is magnitudes more powerful

Even modifying a script file single line would some times become laggy

[frozen lava]

How do y'all test mods before pushing an update? Other than in the editor of course. Like a local server or dedi but not publish the update quite yet?

[maiden junco]

Is there a workflow for testing on a dedicated server?
Workbench lets you use peertool for easily testing multiplayer stuff but is there a way to do that when you are using dedicated server?

[frozen lava]

I have no idea that's why I asked lol. But I'll definitely give peer took a try I didn't know what it was. Thanks

[maiden junco]

Peer tool is very useful

[mint narwhal]

I've tried following the wiki's instructions on using the "-addons" command line to add a local addon to Reforger, but I can't ever get the missions to actually show up in my scenarios.

So for now I just publish to the Workshop as "Test" (instead of "Public"). Then go to the Workshop, filter by Test and by recently added, and download it from there.

There's got to be a way to just locally add an addon, but I haven't even been able to get that to work.

[lethal mirage]

There's also the dedicated server tool

Plugins => Dedicated Server Tool

[crisp anvil]

added exclusion, restarted pc, went from near 10s to rename entity to less than 2s, sir you just saved my sanity, thank you ❤️

[neon ore]

[lament marten]

Is there a way to add a settings category in the settings menu? I was thinking it might be possible with recreating these files, but I can't figure it out

[remote estuary]

low key feelin like a plugin to automatically create a mptest subscene when I create a mod would be dope

[maiden junco]

On my mod ive been doing "mod" and "mod implementation" as two separate projects

and usually i just edit the mod from within the impl project to work on it

Wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction for creating a custom unit patch mod? I've been poking around the workbench. Super impressed with the capabilities, but also overwhelmed on not being able to find the location to create a unit patch. Not a lot on YouTube.

[unborn yew]

Any reason why my peertool wouldn't be passing an IP when trying to launch?

NETWORK   (E): Unable to connect as client to ''

[unborn yew]

Check out one of the mods on the workshop that already have patches built out. TFMattock uniforms has some iirc

[drowsy cairn]

how can i get the slotting menu in the editor

[unborn yew]

I'd like to know this as well. Been having issues accessing it in editor when building a zeus world file.

[unborn yew]

DIsregard. Change your spawn logic to not be autospawn and you will have a spawn/group menu in workbench.

[turbid arch]

Hi, how do I register a txt file to the project? I Use the "Import" Button in the Resource Browser. The I chose a empty Test.txt File. Workbench said: "Registration Done, 0 of 0 successful". No file is shown.

As workaround I copied the file in the project folder.

[dusty swift]

im trying to do the same, did you find out anything?

i just need to add like a few patches - i can program and everything just need a sample of how its been done because i dont want to spend HOURS adding in like 4 patches lmao

[cloud zenith]

Use my character mod as a dependency and inherit from one of my base prefabs

[haughty flare]

If you check the response above there may be something there to help you. I haven’t tried it yet myself, but will luk how it goes once I do.

[dusty swift]

AH!

i was looking for your documentation

but thanks @cloud zenith

[lament marten]

Coming back to this, I assumed I had to inherit the SettingsSuperMenu and add a tab to the TabViewRoot seeing as the other settings menu's are there aswell.
This kinda works 1 time, it will add another category but after that one time it will disappear.
I know I'm doing something wrong but I can't figure out what and can't find any examples of how to actually do it anywhere

[hidden valve]

Hello everyone, I don't know if this is the right channel, however I have a server with friends via XBOX I have no problems, but from PC I get this error

[static shale]

sometimes for me removing the mods inside my document my save games arma reforger would help or deleting the map called save in profike

[reef ferry]

#reforger_troubleshooting

[dusty jungle]

how do i fix this with my mod

[nocturne sail]

hey guys, I lost my main files of mod I worked on (PC memory). But its still available on workshop to be downloaded. Is it possible for me somehow to actually use Workshop addon.gproj to return it to non read-only. Or I am lost forever?

or is there any validation way in Workbench to unlock my own mod?

[lethal mirage]

It depends

What type of content do you mean, exactly?

[nocturne sail]

I made some of my own loadouts from vanilla , gamemod changes

[lethal mirage]

If it's prefab editing, you can just copy them

[arctic ice]

Is there a way to tweak the brightness of the base game lights? I've made duplicates of the base game prefabs and I hope to use these duplicates but I can't seem to change the brightness level

[tight dune]

if you want to tweak base game lights then use overrides

[arctic ice]

I don't want to tweak all of them just the duplicate I'm using

[tight dune]

what lights do you want to modify?

[arctic ice]

The florescent exterior light I'd like to dim for a building I'm making so I can use them inside

As at the moment they just wash everything out

[tight dune]

and you changed LV value in LightEntity?

[arctic ice]

I haven't found either of those I don't think. All I've got is the prefab for the light, and the prefab for the glass that has an emissive texture on it

[tight dune]

are you sure you are looking at correct prefab then?

[arctic ice]

They seem to create light so I think I am

[tight dune]

which prefab it is?

[arctic ice]

LampFluorescent_01_exterior

[tight dune]

check Emissive Glass Slots in StreetLampComponent

LampFluorescent_01_glass.et contains light entity

[arctic ice]

Ah thank you!

[upper thicket]

Hey there, Is there a way to copy my keybind settings from reforger to use in the workbench?
Whenever I load into a test scene I get the default settings which is jarring to use

[loud hawk]

I've published my mod to public 2 times now after having it published as unlisted and it isn't appearing in the workshop. What's the issue? @tight dune

[tight dune]

#enfusion_workshop

[upper thicket]

figured it out, although it is only partially functional

you want to copy over your settings file from
C:\Users\[Username]\Documents\My Games\ArmaReforger\profile\.save\settings
to
C:\Users\[Username]\Documents\My Games\ArmaReforgerWorkbench\profile\.save\[App#_User#]\settings

the only issue I've noticed is certain functions persist on using the default values, for example I unbound Lctrl from perspective switch, but all the custom binds appear to work (as far as I can tell)

[mellow maple]

Hello guys , I removed the dependency but it's still in my project How to do it ?to remove it ?

[torn kayak]

Check our gproj file to see if its GUID is still in there

[storm harness]

Hello,
I have a problem inside the World Editor. I cant move my camera but if i launch the preview it's working for moving my player.
I have test to bind other letter to try but dont work.
If you can help me i appreciate 😉

[sinful bone]

By anychance have multilanguage keyboard. It wont work for me when using other than english.

[storm harness]

Clic inside the Unhide all button and it's work for me now.
Problem solved ☺️

[old fox]

Which veitnam map is the best?

[mint narwhal]

Anyone know which class to add to the GarbageSystem config to get weapons to disappear from the ground? I've already got "ChimeraCharacter" to remove the bodies. But they still leave their guns behind. 😅

[sinful bone]

Vanilla conflict seems to only have InventoryItemComponent did you try that one?

[mint narwhal]

Ah, thank you! I'll give that one a try.

[pure wyvern]

@torn kayak So, for our map it’s 100% done, problem we run into is placing light assets to light up Airbases they show they’re working in editor, then when you get in game/ test the map they don’t work. Wondering if theirs any idea of why this is happening, no errors on the console logs either.

[gaunt marsh]

is it there a way to limit number of buildings per base? Like, in oficial servers people spam living areas, and i want to limit it in my server. I tried to take a look at the game mode building provider but did not found anything useful. Someone know where i have to look for it?

[mint narwhal]

Thanks, that worked!

[gloomy tulip]

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

[waxen nova]

Does anyone know if it's possible to add a delay of like 5 minutes between samples in a .acp file?

[native snow]

Dont know about that long of a duration, but if you right click on your sound Bank, you can select "Silence". Then plug a constant into it with a value. This is the amount of silence before the sound plays. This used to be called Pre-silence, but I think they changed it before 1.0

[waxen nova]

Oooo

Does that silence apply every time it picks a sample?

[native snow]

every time that bank is called

[waxen nova]

Oh damn that might work, I'll give it a try. Thanks!

[waxen nova]

Hmm seems like silence doesn't stop the sample from playing, it just mutes it

[loud hawk]

A question for those who have made their own turrets. I have my turret base model made and skinned. v_root, v_turret, etc.. but I cannot get the turret to rotate when placed on a vehicle. Did you run into this issue? What was the solution? I don't have the vehicle axle bones and crud from the BTR turret as the bone structure appears to not need it?

[waxen nova]

My AI are just standing, not aggroing on anything. How can I even begin to figure out what's missing? Is there any kind of list/guide anywhere that explains all the different components needed to have AI functioning? I'm at a loss.

They have valid hostile factions assigned to them, they have all(?) the AI components and behaviours, their AI is turned on, there's an AIWorld entity... I have no idea what else could be wrong.

[blazing remnant]

What are the rules about reuploading a mod by a banned author?

[tropic zodiac]

Missing "PerceptionManager" maybe?

[waxen nova]

Got that too 😦

[static shale]

did u connect the correct navmesh file inside aiworld for youre map seems like youre navmesh is going haywire

[waxen nova]

Yepp

Created both a soldier and lowres navmesh and have them in the AiWorld entity

[static shale]

created them yourself ?? for youre own custom map or ?

normaly most map will have a precreated navmesh

[waxen nova]

Yeah with the Navemsh generator tool. It's for the Chernarus map from the workshop

It came with it's own navmeshes too but they weren't working either so I decided to recreate them but same issue

[static shale]

doesnt it have its own precreated navmesh i havent used the navmesh tool yet but seems something with youre navmesh is wrong have u tried not using a navmesh but a dynamic one ? will not be optimal but should give movement

[static shale]

well then i cannot help you now mate had same issue but mine was navmeah related

[waxen nova]

You don't need a navmesh? How do you do a dynamic one?

[static shale]

so u got the
tagmanager
scr_aiworld
perception manager
hitreg manager setup

[waxen nova]

Yepp, all of them

[static shale]

its not optimal it very glitchy they will get stuck constantly for me haha but

i thinks thats all the managers u need what happens when u spawn gamemaster ai do they work ? u sure u got the ai spawner correctly setup and not set something in the lines remove control ?

are u using the ambientspawnpoint prefab or something custom

[waxen nova]

lol I think it was actually a bug

I just have static placed units

I just deleted them then re-placed them and now they're aggroing

Both previously had their AI turned on but I think it bugged cause I had them both selected when I turned it on

[tropic zodiac]

Are you using the "Prefabs > Charaters" A.I. by any chance?
If yes you should not use them they do not work properly on their own.
Always use the "Prefabs > Groups" A.I. instead.

[static shale]

glad u got it fixed !

[waxen nova]

Mmm yeah I was using Prefabs > Characters > Factions

Is there much of a difference? The prefabs in there have AI too and it seems to work

[tropic zodiac]

To me they very often bug out.
The characters A.I. are mainly used to build A.I. groups they don't have a group on their own which will limit their functionality a lot esp. in Game Master.

[waxen nova]

Actually yeah one thing i noticed, do lone AI from Prefabs > Characters not have any behaviours to seek out an enemy?

I noticed they just stand there and only move towards you for a shot if they have line of sight

but AI groups will actually push you

[tropic zodiac]

There are A.I. systems which require a group to work.
If there is no group like with the characters you are using the A.I. systems will not work.
So make sure to only use the A.I. group prefabs.
Messing with characters is a waste of time.

[waxen nova]

That's odd, but very good to know

[tropic zodiac]

I had to learn this the hard way just like you do now. 😉

[waxen nova]

Everything now seems to be working properly when using groups

lol

Thanks a ton @tropic zodiac @static shale !

[violet sandal]

who do i have to pay to make a KA-60 mod?

id do it myself but i cant find any info or tutorials on how to do it anywhere

[reef ferry]

you cannot pay someone else to make you a mod, since that would be a breach of toolls EULA and workshop TOS

[violet sandal]

ok...? lol...not gunna drop names but other people are doing it

[reef ferry]

please do, feel free to DM me. The TOS is the same for everyone.

[violet sandal]

i'm not a rat... but if i've heard it, other people have heard it too

[reef ferry]

nevertheless, it is still against the workbench EULA. The last few people who tried doing it got permabanned for this reason

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[violet sandal]

gotcha... guess i just gotta teach myself how to use blender...lol

[fallen glen]

This might be a stupid question, but where does coding fall on "you can pay to make things out of engine but you can't pay to implement it in engine"? It can technically be done entirely independently of the workbench ever being launched provided good enough knowledge of the language, but I don't know if Arma3/Reforger's scripting language qualifies inherently as part of Workbench/A3 Tools or if the code itself only becomes part of Workbench/A3 Tools if placed into in a project

[remote estuary]

legality aside it's practically very inefficient as you would have to have the entire codebase and language in your head and you'd have to write error free code with 0 testing

[reef ferry]

for A3 at the very least, you can do it just fine on notepad, and you can sell such service. for reforger, that's a bit more complicated since the script editor is an integral part of the workbench in a more intertwined fashion

also, what @remote estuary said.

[remote estuary]

you can write all the code outside of workbench but it assumes it is perfect and never needs to be tested, so unrealistic

[fallen glen]

of course, which falls on the implementer and thus is their responsibility and can't be the responsibility of the commissioned person

[remote estuary]

unless working code is not a requirement of the contract

[fallen glen]

Eh, you spend enough time working with a language it's not hard to commit it to memory, does take a long time though

[remote estuary]

I never test my code before shipping

[fallen glen]

that's what players and production are for

[cloud zenith]

Unrealistic but completely achievable. I've literally written working entities, components, user actions and menus(aside from layouts) from my phone.

[sullen cove]

You were on the toilet… weren’t you

[bitter portal]

Must have been 😂

not that… I would know

[tropic zodiac]

With current 1.0.0.91 experimental my workbench is crashing like every couple minutes after hitting preview button in world editor.

[static shale]

i had this issues a while back need to check integrity of game files from steam then it worked afain

[tropic zodiac]

Will try it but i guess its more of a build problem.
When i hit "Esc" while in world editor > runtime i get some vanilla error message pretty often.

[static shale]

im losing my mind on this one
i have a fully functional pve version of conflict

now i am trying to add a pvpve element and want to have second team get an hq to spawn at

i set faction affiliate for one hq to US then second one i set affiliate to USSR

but whenever i want to join the rusky (USSR) IT DOES NOT GIVE ME AN HQ to spawn at whatever i do it never turns ussr what the hell am i missing here

if i manualy change the said hq to USSR it does register and let me spawn

[sly summit]

i have some really weird issue in workbench 3d view right now, anyone knows the cause?

symptoms:

• white flickering
• its in preview as well as game mode.
• its not on map/UI
• its not in experimental tools

tried to reinstall gpu drivers to no avail

[violet sandal]

@static shale i had a similar issue while making my gamemode... make sure when you change the faction affiliation in the world editor, the you do not click "apply to prefab" or it will save whatever faction affiliation you chose to all of thew bases... just change all the bases to the affiliation you want and hit CTRL+S to save it to the world... also make sure "can be HQ" is checked and "disable when not used as HQ" is off

[static shale]

will check thanks for info
is the disable when not used as hq a nescecity i wanted to create multiple hq / control point combinationa

[violet sandal]

if you want multiple than no

[static shale]

👌

[pure holly]

Hi! I was wondering if someone could answer a question for me about deleting a file in the workbench

[lethal mirage]

If you ask it, maybe.

[pure holly]

OK great. So my husband has been working on a map for months now. He finally got it almost finished decided to just go ahead and upload it. So it's now a mod for anyone to use. Upon going through the map in the workshop, kinda just deleting things here and there and added things here and there. Some how he accidentally deleted the map file in the workbench. Not just the map itself but everything he had saved with it. The weird thing is it never went to the recycling bin it just vanished. So he restored his pc, even tried ccleaner, emailed Bohemia and they said they couldn't help. So I'm wondering if there's anything that can be done to get it back? If its a mod is there a way to download it and him bring it back on in the workbench and save it? He had 3 more towns to finish. I'm not really familiar with arma tools so I'm sorry if this sounds confusing, its just killing me that I can't help when he worked so long and hard on it

Sorry for the long message

[lethal mirage]

What file did he delete, exactly? The world / .ent file?

[pure holly]

Yes I believe so

[turbid mountain]

If the .ent file is gone. Thats easy to fix.
If the .layer files are also gone, thats oof

[pure holly]

He said it deleted everything. We've been trying for a few days to recover what we could but nothing. That's why I asked about the mod since others have downloaded it.

[lethal mirage]

If he already published the mod, it might be possible to salvage things.

[remote estuary]

yes layer files can be extracted from published pak files

[pure holly]

He did yes, his name is even on it

[lethal mirage]

Then he should be able to recover most things, as bacon said.

[pure holly]

How would he go about doing that?

[remote estuary]

I don't know if I can tell you without getting in trouble

[pure holly]

He just wants to finish it mostly, he's spent 6 months working on this map.

I kinda figured that. How does it just delete everything without reserving it some how?

[remote estuary]

workbench does not just delete your files, it's usually some button you may accidentally press without realizing

[native snow]

He needs to use some form of versioning software to keep backups. it's highly recommended.
GIT with LFS works well for games stuff.
http://arfc.github.io/manual/guides/git-lfs

AWS Codecommit is really cheap as well.

[lethal mirage]

I think the question was why it didn't end up in the recycling bin. But that's just how it works, not surprising.

[pure holly]

Ty @native snow I will make sure he does that from now on

[remote estuary]

there are plenty of ways to backup stuff, you don't have to go straight to some of the most complicated ones (like git)

[pure holly]

Well this happened about two days ago, He restored his pc to the 20th but I'm pretty sure pc restore doesn't restore files etc. There's nothing else I could think of doing that would bring any of his files back

Is there no way to recover it? I know when you upload a mod the owners name appears. So even if his name is on the map mod would that help at all recovering it from maybe Bohemia?

[loud hawk]

@tight dune I accidentally deleted my source directory on enfusion workbench for my entire projecct but I still have gprojecct and all. Can I recover everything?

[turbid mountain]

You could in DM's

[peak cedar]

did you end up figuring this out? I have the exact same problem.

[sly summit]

no, i just started using Experimental for now 🙈

[tight dune]

what is "and all"?

[remote estuary]

sorted

[peak cedar]

Thanks I guess I'll have to drop stable dev and do that too

[violet sandal]

@pure holly when he was deleting things, was he removing mod dependencies by chance?... i had a similar thing happen to me, i though everything was gone... but if he navigates to his mod file in MyGames/ARMAReforgerWorkbench, open the addon.gproj file for his mod in notepad++ and scroll through the dependency GUIDs and look for any blank spaces where there are just double quotation marks ""... and remove them then save the file in notepad++, it might bring everything back.... what happened with me was i removed a dependency, and instead of removing it from the .gproj file it left those empty quotation mark in it and would not allow the workbench to open my file... i was pulling my hair out for days thinking everything was gone, but its a simple fix if thats what his issue is... feel free to DM me if he needs help finding the files

[static shale]

the double quotes are a real pain in the ass in my beginning caused me to redo entire projects multiple times ahah

[violet sandal]

yeah, it took me a while to figure it out

[static shale]

so what the hell did i fuck up this time ?

i had some issues checked local files from arma reforger asswell as reforger workbench and afterwards i cannot open any project anymore

fixed it needed to launch arma reforger once apparantley

[fluid laurel]

If you're on Experimental tools, you need to do "Add Project", then navigate to the experimental ArmaReforger.gproj . If going back to stable after using experimental, you might have to point it at the other gproj again

[frail juniper]

how to i fix this? keep appearing when i try to publish my mod...........

[tight dune]

Did you tried to click on link?

[static shale]

yeah i did but thanks for the pointers guys as stated i fixed it by starting arma reforger once after the verify of files still much appreciated 🙂

[static shale]

im trying to setup a probe inside the map to fix the white skyline anybody know how to do this ? im using kunar map from kiok

[sinful bone]

Is it possible to add something to an array of an entity from a plugin? I see CreateObjectVariableMember and SetVariableValue in the editor API and not sure what to use.

[dull basin]

I was using the diac menu I think it is called to enable wetness and I now I have these boxes everywhere and I dont know how I turned them on so I cant turn them off https://i.imgur.com/buALR3R.jpeg any ideas would be appreciated!

[maiden junco]

I deleted my entire my games/reforger workbench..../ directory, that worked out

[limber matrix]

This is happening to me also

Only when in game and I’m making giant fire fights tho

[sly summit]

Peer #1 couldn't run. Check if your Executable or other settings are correct

[maiden junco]

This is so obnoxious

null pointer exceptions constantly when I try to open my game mode prefab

It seems as if commented code is still compiled or something

[cloud zenith]

Well it's not.

[maiden junco]

Im pretty confident it was executing old compiled code in order to get into the editor, and then tried to re-compile. Which obviously doesn't work because the old code caused crashes

[static siren]

found an interesting bug/problem no clue if this is just a problem on my end but if I have a scene loaded for example Arland place my car.et and go into the audio editor and back out into the game the game for some reason is not loading the textures without Mips for me really weird.

[tight dune]

ah, I noticed it with Procedural Animation Editor

but I thought my gpu drivers might be tricking me

[static siren]

guess its a problem in the workbench well good you know about it guess thats probably getting fixed at some point then :)

it just had me really confused why my car is just loading Mips and I was thinking I broke the game.

[spiral totem]

I have also had this problem when working on A10. Always when going back and forth from proc anim editor and world editor

[peak cedar]

Anyone able to fix the white flickering in world editor (stable branch)? Its beyond annoying... Or are [A]nomisum and I the only ones experiencing it?

[waxen nova]

Okay code f-ing red, I kid you not, my phone just fell on my keyboard and deleted my whole prefabs folder. HOW DO I UNDO THIS????

[severe mica]

lCTRL z?

[waxen nova]

NOPE

[severe mica]

NO BACK ARROW KEY?

[waxen nova]

NOPE

It's a damn good thing I backed this up a few days ago

Still brutal tho, I've done a lot in a few days

[severe mica]

im so sorry bro..

[waxen nova]

This is actual insanity

The deleted files don't go to the Recycle Bin either

they just get voided

[waxen nova]

I think if it was my scripts folder I'd actually cry

[broken robin]

backup now

[frail juniper]

for some reason @remote estuary i use your loadout ui and click on weapon tab then swap and it wont let me go back.. stuck

[remote estuary]

can you record a lil video or something and post it here https://discord.com/channels/105462288051380224/1110586149740748890

or dm it to me I don't care if you use a toaster to record it

[frail juniper]

if it happen again i will record it

[remote estuary]

can you try to reproduce it for me? I can't repro this on mnk and controller, B/ESC always works, so do the tab buttons lb and rb

[frail juniper]

@remote estuary sending a video in PM

[blazing remnant]

I got the support working, I had forgot to merge physics on one prop, but I now have the issue of my M60 door gun being unable to reload, the guns register the inventory of the Huey however it cannot be loaded, what could cause this

[peak cedar]

My workbench is still F$#@^ed... If I uninstall will it delete the workbench folder where all my mod source files are?

[remote estuary]

shouldnt but why not backup them anyway

[peak cedar]

Cuz I'm lazy lol

[maiden junco]

git hub

[waxen nova]

Anyone know how to make the size scale of an entity stay the same? Like say I want to make an item that's 0.5 scale, so a mini version. When first placed on the ground in the editor it'll be 0.5 scale as it's supposed to, but as soon as the item is picked up it reverts back to it's full 1.0 size scale

[remote estuary]

can't, the engine doesn't really support scale yet

[cloud zenith]

can't, the engine doesn't really support scale anymore*

[remote estuary]

it never supported it, it would always reset next frame

[cloud zenith]

no it wouldn't

[remote estuary]

well, at least for entities that have some sort of animations

if you scale in post frame it will look like the scale is kept

[cloud zenith]

i scaled vehicles to the size of hotwheels before and drove them around

and used to scale the character down and run around in houses like a ken doll

[remote estuary]

ah dang so I guess it's been downgraded

[cloud zenith]

yeah

i was gonna release a "toy soldiers" mod

luckily i never did

the coolest though was being full size character and getting inside tiny vehicles

[remote estuary]

since it works for statics, you could still do it by enlarging the environment instead

de_rats style

[cloud zenith]

yeah i tested that before as well

when i realized that scaling no longer works

could do tiny characters with huge weapons too

was pretty funny

[waxen nova]

Awh damn, thanks for the info tho @remote estuary @cloud zenith

[elfin gulch]

So im trying to make custom groups to join some pointers would be helpful

the BI modding wiki isn't very helpful, as well as videos

2MRB did it and i wanna do what they did but looking at the addon in the workbench didn't lead me anywhere useful

[gloomy plover]

Hi! I'm new to Enfusion modding and I'm struggling with export of the helmet model into Reforger Workbench. In tutorial it says, that in result I will have 163 bones in total, but there is none. What may cause this problem ?

[reef ferry]

if the helmet is rigged correctly, check your import settings and see if import bones is ticked

[gloomy plover]

Import settings in the Enfusion Workbench or the Blender ones?

[reef ferry]

import in workbench. why would be in blender? you are exporting from blender and importing into workbench, no?

[gloomy plover]

I've got some workbench import settings wrong. Now it works. Thanks.

This is my first time trying to create anything for Arma workshop, so the questions may look pretty stupid. I'm sorry 🙂

[reef ferry]

that is fine, i wasn't getting the import options in blender question, it can always be some language barrier

[peak cedar]

uninstalled and reinstalled workbench but im still getting flickering white screen when i open anything in world editor... 😢

[sinful bone]

are you maybe using different data and engine version? Like using experimental tools with stable data? Are there any errors in log when you open the tools?

[peak cedar]

I dont think so, however I do get one error: Invalid shader vs engine version (shader version 91 != engine version 80), validation failedExperimental tools works 100% fine, Im only having this problem on stable workbench.

also tried deleting ReforgerWorkbenchSettings.conf but it's still doing it... 🤷‍♂️ I guess Im just not meant to get any modding done on my days off. RIP me.

[tight dune]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Mod_Project_Setup#Adding_Arma_Reforger_Project add stable project to the list and launch it once

when using experimental tools, I would recommend adding -profile CLI parameter

[peak cedar]

strange it works now! Do I have to do that every time experimental branch updates even if i dont open the experimental tools? o.O

[tight dune]

if you will separate experimental tools from regular ones + add reforger data to the list then no

otherwise tools are trying to autodetect data - this works on principle of last loaded Arma Reforger game (be it regular or experimental version)

[peak cedar]

yes very strange, this started happening when experimental updated, but before i ever tried to open anything in experimental branch (game or tools)

[remote estuary]

maybe you accidentally added experimental game to workbench or something

before

idk

[peak cedar]

Ill have to try that parameter to separate them.

[peak cedar]

I had it added as a mod back when we had to launch the game once before tools would work for that branch

anyways at least i can see what im doing now lol thanks!

[waxen nova]

What is it exactly that determines what an item's inventory icon is? I got a bunch of items that have icons that are shown from an aerial view so they can be hard to distinguish in the inventory. Is it the Common Item Type property on the **InventoryItemComponent **that changes this?

example:

[cloud zenith]

It's the PreviewRenderAttributes

[waxen nova]

Oh I totally overthought it

Yeah I just found that too lol

[cloud zenith]

You should spend more time looking at the components on prefabs and determine what they're actually doing. Or maybe use the search function of discord every now and then.

A lot of basic stuff has been answered a million times in the last almost 2 years

[drowsy geyser]

Anyone know if its possible to inherit en-mass with a suffix?

Or have a script

[cloud zenith]

What do you mean by that?

[drowsy geyser]

I want to inhert all prefablibrary->structures to my project and its tedious to right click on every one and manually suffix them

[cloud zenith]

You can probably write your own plugin for that

[elfin gulch]

How do you make modded weapons appear in the arsenal?

[loud hawk]

Not sure where to ask this but you're the guy I want to ask @reef ferry can models with editorial licenses be used in mods on Arma Reforger?

[reef ferry]

nope

[loud hawk]

You've broken my heart

[spiral totem]

you can ask the copyright owner/trademark owner but need written permission

[drowsy geyser]

Is it normal for folders in my own project to become locked? The contents aren't, just folders

They are backedup on onedrive if that makes a difference

[tight dune]

don't use your source folder dir as addons dir

alternatively don't create new projects in same directory as where Reforger addons are located - I've seen many video tutorials repeating this mistake

[graceful moon]

Why does the project thumbnail need to be .png instead of .tif?

[drowsy geyser]

Makes sense, thanks

[tight dune]

because project thumbnail is not converted to edds - workbench is using PNG in this case. Same case as with custom component icons

[cloud zenith]

what do you mean by custom component icons?

Can we add icons for our components? If so, how did i miss this? lol

[tight dune]

It only works for unpacked data since non registered files are not packed. Take a look at editor component icons - they are missing and they work only in our internal builds

[blazing remnant]

When I Merge physics on a prefab added to a helicopter it sticks to 0,0,0 and it cannot be moved

[feral verge]

I would like to understand why you removed the ability to delete entities in the world editor ? If there was a good feature it was this one
During early access, I was able to delete entities inside the default layer of Eden world, now everything is locked

[fluid laurel]

You can recreate an Unlocked map by opening Eden, right click on default layer, seclect children, then copy. Open Eden_Empty.ent, make sub-scene and use "Paste on same position". Workbench will freeze for a few minutes; when it's done you will have a version of Eden with unlocked layer.

The workbench does not let me login into my BI Account anyone that knows what I might be doing wrong?

Anyone know the easiest way to play a custom sound from a character? I've been messing around with a few things and been searching for an answer but can't find any clear solution.

Would something like this work? It says the sound is playing but I can't hear it. I believe the .acp is setup correctly. It has spaciality and the sound works properly in the audio editor.

[static siren]

guess BI cant let me upload my mod I try to login it insta locks my account for 2 hours and eventhough both email and pw are correct still wont let me in ....

[elfin gulch]

Could you please elaborate more on this?

[waxen nova]

How do I call an event like this for a UI layout? Haven't worked with events before. Does this work like a callback? Not sure how/where to call this

This doesn't work

[tropic zodiac]

UpdateValues(owner, timeSlice);

[waxen nova]

Oh wait what

But

Lets not talk about this

[tight dune]

Simply don't create addons in

hey guys i have a problem

PATHFINDING(E): Unable to open navmesh file ".NavData/cwnavmesh/navData_0.ntile"!
PATHFINDING(E): Not able to load data from file .NavData/cwnavmesh/navData_0.ntile
RESOURCES (E): Failed to load '

I've built a terrain and wanted to generate a navmesh so AI can function. I've generated the navmesh and I can see the lines drawn and generated around the map. When generation is complete I hit save whole generation and it brings up a window asking where I want to save it, there are no options so I hit ok and it opens windows file browser. I navigate to my addon in the workbench and make a name. So I have my navmesh file in the project and I can reference it in the AIWorld. When I launch the scenario and spawn an ai to direct around I'm given the error above. I notice that the .NavData folder is not visible in the project and when i try to import this navData_0.ntile is says registration failed. this is extremely frustrating as I've followed several guides but cant seem to find where I've gone wrong. Has anyone else dealt with this?

[elfin gulch]

alright thanks

[remote estuary]

Workbench is much less stable after the recent update, already crashed twice for me in the span of 15 minutes

[tropic zodiac]

I've already reported this during experimental.
Guess the other bug's have found their way to stable as well.
To me all this have turned into a huge waste of time to say the least....

[lime forum]

Anyone know how to add something to gamemaster so when I put the mod in server it can be placed down

[tight dune]

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

I have done this, they still will not show up

[tight dune]

probably you are missing something then

Could you VC to mabey check?

[tight dune]

Could you perhaps write down what you have done so far?

[lime forum]

It is hard to explain

I'm pretty new to this stuff

[tight dune]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Asset_Browser_Mod_Integration you can use this page as reference and describe how you did each step. It is also important what kind of content are you trying to put in

[remote estuary]

does the peertool plugin still break when mods have spaces in their names?

[knotty oar]

is there a way to make the Emissive Multiplier of ParametricMaterialInstanceComponent render at longer distances? It caps out at a value of 1000 and isn't visible from very far

Similar to how the LV works on the LightSourceVisualizationObject (which is blocked from being used it seems :/ )

[remote estuary]

Is it the emissiveness that isnt visible or does the model just get culled?

[knotty oar]

hm I'm not too sure tbh, is there a way to also counter that?

I have a small object on a larger object, small has the emissive. The larger object is still visible at range but the emissive small one isn't

[remote estuary]

Try tweak pixel size scale maybe

In meshobject component

[knotty oar]

it's set at 10 already 😦

[waxen nova]

Anyone know the easiest way to delete a spawned entity in the world via code? Do I need to use the garbage manager or is there a delete method I'm not seeing?

[waxen nova]

Ah, delete GetOwner();

[waxen nova]

Anyone else getting this after the most recent update? Seems to happen when I try to drag any item in the inventory. I don't think I could've touched anything that would cause this

[cloud zenith]

SCR_EntityHelper.DeleteEntityAndChildren() maybe be more reliable in some cases.

[torn kayak]

Yup I too good it, reported already thank you 🙂

[waxen nova]

Sounds good, thanks Ark!

[torn kayak]

Fixed alraedy for the next major update, not sure if there will be a minor 1.0 update to fix it in the mean time.

[jaunty perch]

Hey guys i just had a huge issue. I was in the animation editor editing the graphs and suddenly my workbench crashes. I reload the workbench and my project is missing from the selection to load. I then manually go to the file to re-map it and the project file itself used to load was deleted/ no where to be found. All the other content is there but the project cant be loaded without it and I've lost all my progress

[unborn yew]

Is it possible to use a mod in a project without it being a dependency?

IE, I'd like to reference reforger lobby for a mission within a project, but not all missions should rely on said addon

(I'm assuming not)

[lethal mirage]

In your example it shouldn't really matter, as far as I know, since Reforger Lobby doesn't make any meaningful changes to the base game mode.

[unborn yew]

Non-lobby missions throw vme's, but I've reported it for now

Was just curious from the workbench side

[lethal mirage]

It might be possible to do this depending on a case by case basis, but it sure as hell isn't good practice.

It's possible you can set it up in a way that just references these scripts / prefabs without depending on the mod. I haven't tried that yet though.

[iron gyro]

Hey guys can someone recommend me some YouTube channels with tutorials for modding weapons? I was looking for it but it seems difficult to find for me

[fair nova]

so when Enfusion lags out and just is stuck those that mean it corrupted my shit ?!! and i lost it ?

when i open my folder with emats it lags out
or anything that contains / uses them

there isnt anything showing
its just stuck

[weary crypt]

Yes you can. Just launch your project with mod, do stuff like you do with normal dependency and on server config load your mod after "dependency" mod, load order is not automatic with this method.

Don't know if it is possible on localhost or in singleplayer to point exact load order, but on dedicated server it's working ok.

[thick lake]

Since the last Update Workbench is crashing a lot of time while compiling Scripts. After the restart it compiles fine. Does anyone else notice this?

[tropic zodiac]

Yes.
Sometimes mine crashes like every couple minutes.
Esp. when using Behavior Tree Editor and like you said compiling scripts.

[thick lake]

Same here, i crahsed 5 times in the last 30 min... before the Update i had a crash all 2 - 3 hours

[tropic zodiac]

Yes tools/workbench has gotten worse by latest update.
Let's hope they can fix it in the next update.

[brazen finch]

Can anybody explain this? I am setting up a scenario, no issues at all, testing allong the way. Placing vehicles, spawns no problems.

I place arsenals, and test them. They work, but after the project reloads or I upload the addon to the workshop to bring to my test server. This error occurs, I go to the enfusion work bench, load my scenario that I previosuly tested to work, and now this error occurs suddenly with no change?

Even after removing the arsenals, the error still occurs and I have to start over.

Is there a way to add hierarchy component to more prefab childs at same time?
I want add hierarchy components to all building furnitures but its too many work by hand.

@tight dune do we know why passengers jitter out of their position on vehicles?

Happens on almost all modded helicopters. I believe there might be a way to fix it, but I'm not aware of the exact method.

I have the same issue yesterday but with uh1h.. don’t know why. Never had this before

[eager lotus]

Hi Everyone, I'm trying out the Arma Reforger workbench for the first time. When creating a new world, I'm unable to run the game mode as the "play" button on the upper toolbar is greyed out/disabled and not green.
Any suggestions ?

[torn kayak]

You won't be able to play it until you have somne base setup for it. It is best to look at existing terrains such as MPTest that have the minimal basics present 🙂 Also #enfusion_terrain

[eager lotus]

Thank you so much! could you tell me where to find that MPTest terrain ?

[torn kayak]

You could also have a look at emptyarland, but that is not "playable", but you can spawn there from camera with and walk around regardless. just none of the game functionality will work

Just take your time and look at the available resources first. there are some guides on terrain creation on the biki and youtube etc

[eager lotus]

Thanks a lot, i'll check it.

[loud hawk]

Doesn't happen on my Z10.

I was pointed towards it may have something to do with using offset coordinates as compared to point info. So I made that change. Haven't tested it.

[remote estuary]

how do I stop workbench from opening a dependency as the main project?

[remote estuary]

I hit Open With Addons, select an addon, and it opens that addon as the main project

infuriating, I have to exit workbench and open my addon without other addons to modify it

[remote estuary]

also how do I stop world editor from sometimes capping itself to 20 fps

[peak cedar]

that sounds like what happens when you load a project with missing dependencies in your workbench mods. you can always text edit the dependencies in the gproj file

[whole lintel]

Hey I am pretty new to this and I could use some help. I made a custom scenario by following a youtube video and I have tested it and it works.

What I am having trouble with is:
I want to use the TF Mattock mods and change the base loadouts so that players on the US team spawn in with the modern uniforms on. However, I can't find the files for these uniforms. When I open the project file, it only has ZEL which just has placeholders for everything. I see there is a manager called BaseSomething where I can choose what the loadout is wearing but I simply cant find the Mattock uniforms to drop in there.

Can anyone help me understand what I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

[remote estuary]

In my case its all there

[eager lotus]

Hi, today i've created a new mission by a sub-scene of the Eden world and tried to publish to workshop. The Mod looks ok and working fine.
Since i wanted to modify one thing, i've tried to open the project again but I found out that my project (sub-scene) had been locked, so I can't modify that anymore.
May you tell me the reason of that ?

[lethal mirage]

Are you sure you're opening the source files, not the downloaded mod?

[dusky karma]

Hello, i have a issue and i don't know how to solve it.. I don't know why but the "Save Loadout" action disappear and the settings look fine. Any idea ?

[eager lotus]

I previously saved the project to C:\Users\tunin\OneDrive\Documents\My Games\ArmaReforger\addons.

Now I'm opening the project from the same path, but i get it as locked @lethal mirage

[lethal mirage]

That's your download dir.

[eager lotus]

Ok, so i have to save it on another location ?

[lethal mirage]

You should

But check the folder content first

[tight dune]

Copy it to different location, remove pak files from the folder in new location and then add it to Enfusion Workbench Launcher

[eager lotus]

mmm top

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

[eager lotus]

my fault

[tight dune]

ArmaReforger/addons is incorrect folder - this is only FOR GAME, not for Workbench projects. Having workbench addons in this folder will end with constantly overridden workshop files

ArmaReforgerWorkbench/addons may be ok ?

[tight dune]

yes but make sure it is not one driver directory

What is the difference on create menu placed managers and prefab versions?
AI_World and perception manager not working when i place from create menu but works fine if its prefab.
Object properties same as CTI_campaign mission but something wrong.
Maybe my other managers bugged too?

[torn kayak]

The prefab for SCR_AIWorld has a lot of settings assigned. I would expect that your manually created entity does not have them all.

[low depot]

When i ported my mission to experimental, i lost lot of managers, i added back from create menu by name (from my backup layers file). i get settings and all components from CTI_campaign. Looks totally equal but not worked.

Are they pink or blue? I was having the same issue before realizing they were pink

Anyone know how to fix a project just not working after adding a dependency?

A map to be specific after adding a dependency it breaks and seems to not work tried it on other projects and had the same occurrence

open your gproj in TXT editor (like notepad) and remove dependency GUID which causes problems

experimental workbench crashes when opening ap2k xob for me

[torn kayak]

Submitted crash report?

[remote estuary]

yup

I just wanted to check the LOD0 poly count

Crash GUID: f2c1bdac-7b1d-4e67-8772-545afe50d4ab

[torn kayak]

For the future please include which model you opened in the crash report so it can be reproduced with that info alone. I have added the info and will look into it thx

[remote estuary]

weird that the report doesnt contain this information already

[torn kayak]

We could try and find it somewhere in the dumped memory but if you know it happens on some specific xob you can save us 10 minutes of digging and just tell us please. The quicker it is for us to investigate something the higher the chances we can can fix it fast.

[remote estuary]

adding open files to log could help when people dont provide this information

[torn kayak]

This was fixed internally and will be in one of the upcoming updates. In the mean time you need to avoid this file being shown, as the preview rendering alone is enough to provoke the crash. Thx for the report.

[thick lake]

If someone also running Experimental Build, please navigate to: https://enfusionengine.com/api/redirect?to=enfusion://ResourceManager/~ArmaReforger:Assets/Weapons/Attachments/Optics/AP2k/Data and tell me if your Workbench also crash. It looks like there is a problem with some reticle emats.

Can we have test worlds from BI, please? It will really help a lot. One time I seen names of this worlds, like "penetration_test.ent". I think modders will appreciate this. I dont know if you want to add them in vanilla resources of tools/game, like Eden, Arland. But maybe make them downloadable from wiki, like blender tools addon. Thank you!

You "Inherit" from the "BASE" prefab

When you right click your base prefab in the Resource Browser, you can inherit

[remote estuary]

assign material to prefab, click save to prefab, then edit material, save material, prefab reverts to previous version without material assign

now I pressed save to prefab and it overwrote all my inherited prefabs too

Ayo, Am making a faction for a unit - But when im doing the EEditableEntity Core section of the tutorial my label doesnt show up under the Label Type? (I suspect its to do with the script i have in EEditableEntityLabel, BUT as far as i can see that should be set from what i see on the BI Tutorial? (Also used RHS factions as a reference and as far as i see it should be set, Note im v new to any form of scripting or modding)

We agree its the good file to add equipement to the US arsenal ?

[storm harness]

Yes, exactly the good file 😉

[hexed kite]

Good thanks then idk why that dont appear in the arsenal 🤔

The best is copy past a line of the file and just replace the prefab by drag and drop them

[hexed kite]

i did that yeah

but i dont have the HEADWEAR thing in the name of the line and i cant rename it ( idk if that change anything at all )

Nevermind

[storm harness]

Check if it's a good SCR_EntityCatalogInventoryItem

[hexed kite]

i duplicated instead of override the file

[storm harness]

You need to override

Hello guys is there a way to restore a project? Accidentally deleted it lol

[torn kayak]

Deleted from where? The list in the spash screen of workbench or did you actually delete the mod files? You could recover some of the data by opening the published mod and copy things over from there but it will not include any of the source formats for objects, textures etc.

[red osprey]

deleted from splash screen

[torn kayak]

Then all you need to do is add it back 🙂 You can find it most likely under documents/mygames/armareforgerworkbench/adddons (if you did not select a different location to save it)

[red osprey]

Yes, but the thing is nothing is in there when i load it

I have been searching for an answer to this but I cant find it anywhere and I feel like this should be simple. I want to have my spawn points be visible on the map.

I want it to use the icons that players can use when they draw on the map or the icon used in the respawn menu (bluebox with name of spawn next to it). I cant figure out how to make this work.

Hi, does anyone else have this error on Workbench open since last update?

Can't initialize the game
World Editor and some other game depended features will not be available.
But rest of the workbench will be functional.

[crude pewter]

#general_chat_arma message

also some mods in game are not working.

[reef ferry]

you need to run the game once before you can use the workbench before the update

[stoic fulcrum]

Hi, thanks for response. I did that already

[reef ferry]

I know you are new, but you definitely don't need to ping all the developers for your own particular issue, especially since it is against the #rules of this discord server

Is there any way to notify Arma reforger developers about it? Or may you can direct us where to look at? Rebuilding the whole mod isn't a trivial thing.
I personally have no idea what you mean by that. Notify reforger developers about what precisely?

[stoic fulcrum]

Ok, I deleted the message, so it wont disturb developers

[stoic fulcrum]

About this issue:

Can't initialize the game
World Editor and some other game depended features will not be available.
But rest of the workbench will be functional.

[reef ferry]

does the workbench work correctly without loading your own files?

[stoic fulcrum]

No more actual - thanks. Works fine

[reef ferry]

there should be a list errors in your console log

[stoic fulcrum]

That was a RHS mod error

[reef ferry]

i am aware there are changes that do affect RHS, but then again, there is no reason to ping 4 individual developers for reforger because one mod or another (including your own) needs to be updated post game patch

[stoic fulcrum]

Can you please refer to the message you are talking about?

[reef ferry]

...don't need to play that game. Please give the #rules a read ASAP. thanks

[stoic fulcrum]

You got it from logs. The question is:
Will it disturb(will ping be visible to the targets once message is deleted)? So remove message is not enough?

[turbid mountain]

Yes it will
People will see ping, open the channel, search for it, not find it and go "wtf?"

[reef ferry]

yes, pings are visible even if message is deleted. My comment was for future reference btw, as please make sure the issue is not on your side before posting about what is and what isn't trivial

[stoic fulcrum]

Sure, I will. Thanks for the responses

[stoic fulcrum]

My apologies for no reason bothering

[crude pewter]

This is getting off topic

[turbid mountain]

@crude pewter check your logs? There are probably script errors in error.log or console.log

[crude pewter]

yea seams most of my error's are from RHS-StatusQuo as it is a dependency of my mod

ah yes it is RHS problem. i am able to open workbench with mods i have made that are not RHS dependent.

@reef ferry fix your shit. come on man

[remote estuary]

why is my workbench capped at 20 fps?

[torn kayak]

You need to purchase the Workbench+ Subscription from the BI store to unlock full 60 fps ... /s is it also 20 in playmode? Also after a restart of workbench entirely?

[remote estuary]

how about you fix your attitude first? modders owe you nothing

[crude pewter]

relax my guy. was just playing

[turbid mountain]

is friends talk 🫂

[turbid mountain]

Can you send your console.log/error.log?
Broken scripts should still let workbench open up

[remote estuary]

correct, script editor opens up just fine

[remote estuary]

restarting took care of it, strange

[turbid mountain]

That blocked workbench from opening?
Looks like it actually opened at the end and stayed open for 3 seconds

[vital canyon]

Same issue here with two of my mods. Getting the "Can't initialize the game" and I'm unable to access World Editor in either.

Looking at the error messages, the first one seems to be related to scripts relating to Rail Enfusion Redux and the second might be related to GREG_NightVisionComponent

[crude pewter]

yea i removed RHS from mod and everything works fine

[turbid mountain]

But can you open script editor? Or do you not get into workbench at all?

[vital canyon]

Script editor is available

[turbid mountain]

So workbench is not outright broken.

[remote estuary]

now it capped itself at 30 fps haha

[turbid mountain]

Many workbench editors require scripts to work, they get disabled if scripts cannot be compiled.
So workbench is actually working fine then.

[prime vector]

Somebody know something about RHS? Is it gonna be update today or not?

[spiral totem]

Is it possible to downgrade to 1.0 to get a script that was removed in 1.1?

[remote estuary]

sure, see #enfusion_generic message

[spiral totem]

thanks

[remote estuary]

when is peertool fixed again?

how can i fix ?

[true loom]

What exactly fix? I dont see any error that would cause WB to be unable to properly load.
Also do you have both Game and WB properly updated?

[true loom]

Already should be

Added: Solution for using Peer tool - Linux, Windows game, server, and Workbench binaries with "Diag suffix"

[crisp anvil]

i cannot open or override this GarbageSystem file should i report the issue somewhere else ?

[true loom]

Would be better for @torn kayak to help since I am clueless regarding GarbageSystem.
Maybe you can also try to validate Game files, I already saw few incidents in past when Steam did not properly update data files for Reforger

[torn kayak]

That config file does not exists anymore @crisp anvil . Please refer to the changelog and search for garbagesystem. If there is something that still tries to load it your game data is outdated or a mod still tries to use it

[true loom]

Or Steam did not properly update... error log points to Reforger data

[crisp anvil]

did verif game file still same issue, i will nuke my game files

[true loom]

Maybe we forgot some file in Reforger data? Since it prints even on new mod.
But as Arkensor mentioned, this file should not be relevant anymore so you just could just ignore that error and do it the new way
But make sure that Game data are really correctly updated and if validation then it might really be just forgotten relic

[crisp anvil]

GarbageSystem is not the new way ?

The GarbageMananger was replaced by the GarbageSystem. in changelog

[true loom]

It tells you in changelog where it is supposed to be configured

Changed: The GarbageMananger was replaced by the GarbageSystem. It is now configured only through the ChimeraSystemsConfig.conf. The config layout has been adjusted to give mods finer control over rule priority

[crisp anvil]

ye well i can open this one, i will ignore the garbage system error then

tried to nuke my C:\Users\user\Documents\My Games\ArmaReforgerWorkbench too but no luck anyway, thx

[cobalt flame]

Do you still have this problem? Im experiencing it right now

[vital canyon]

Rail Enfusion Redux was patched, and I have no issues with that anymore. I think the other issue is with the NightVision mod, and by extension TFM Uniforms that uses it as a dependency

[sly horizon]

can someone please give me a scenario id of a map that works? my milsim is bugging out

{59AD59368755F41A}Missions/21_GM_Eden.conf (Game Master - Everon)
Is this still the Id?

[broken robin]

{59AD59368755F41A}Missions/21_GM_Eden.conf

yes

[sly horizon]

its not working

[sly horizon]

Hey whats the deal with mods now? any mod not updated shouldnt be used at all?

[lethal mirage]

There's a lot of mods that haven't been updated yet, there's no way to help you if you don't provide more information.

Have you checked your logs?

Also, this probably belongs into #reforger_servers.

[sour marlin]

Is it possible to create local mods that only run on the server and are not hosted on workshop to be downloaded by clients? I know server only mods were possible in Arma 3.

[lethal mirage]

No

[remote estuary]

idk how to repro but workbench caps itself to 20 fps or 30 fps sometimes and it's just annoying

now its 60 fps after scripts recompile

now its capped to 30 again

now selecting items in the world editor takes like 1 second before I see the selection outline

now its 60 fps

now its 30 fps

[river steeple]

Does anybody know how to modify the rank requirement for spawning vehicles now? It's not in the vehicle catalog anymore

[remote estuary]

now styles are broken

[pseudo lintel]

hey yall wondering if i could get some knowledge. I recently tried to publish my first mod. simple ukraine + reskin of vanilla humvee. it has no errors etc but when i download the mod on the workshop i cant find the content i created

anyone ever seen this before?

the config looks like this

the model is ready to go i just dont know where to look to fix it. if anyone can point me in the right direction it would be appreciated

[tight dune]

is it showing in game master when you play it in World Editor?

[pseudo lintel]

I believe so? I'm still unfamiliar let me search.

[river steeple]

It seems to now be edited via SCR_EditableVehicleComponent, but only sergeant works XD idk what is going on

[pseudo lintel]

negative its not populating in the GM there

where should i look to see how to add it to GM

im looking at the "EditorModeEdit" and i think thats the right spot

[tight dune]

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

[pseudo lintel]

thank you i believe this is exactlly what i needed

[lament kernel]

Guys, has anyone already found how to change the price of equipment and the rank for its spawn on the server?

[river steeple]

Price can be changed in SCR_EditableVehicleComponent on the vehicle prefab, but changing rank does not work for me

[remote estuary]

how do I make log console in workbench wrap lines, horizontal scrollbars are stinky

[stoic wigeon]

Today I started playing with the workbench by creating a simple image mod to load in the admin welcome message mod. Very basic I know, but it was a step in the right direction as looking at the workbench looks pretty daunting.

Where is a good place to start? Where did you gents start?

[remote estuary]

how do I clear the launcher projects again?

got it, delete projectList.conf from profile folder

[chrome fulcrum]

Confused here a bit
What i missing here, i want set it rank Lieutenant Value: 4

is my logic wrong here?
Corporal - Value: 2
Sergeant - Value: 3
Lieutenant - Value: 4
Captain - Value: 5

Seems like highest rank what i can go is Sergeant value 3

[mild jasper]

I can no longer delete components when I am in workbench, which is fine as I can edit the ET file in notepad ++ for now but why has this been removed from workbench?

[lone mantle]

So peer tool is still broken and now on stable too

Oh well, dedicated server tool it is then

[crisp anvil]

What's broken with it ?

[lone mantle]

Peer clients cannot connect to the WB: https://reforger.armaplatform.com/news/modding-update-march-6-2024

[crisp anvil]

uh i can tho

had to use diag executable tho maybe you didnt changed it?

[lone mantle]

Ah I see, the new diag exe does the trick, thanks!

[remote estuary]

omg hes multiplying

[river steeple]

I am having the exact same issue!! No one has been able to help me :/

[torn kayak]

Show a screenshot of your full workbench window where you have the problem go delete a component please

[chrome fulcrum]

when i look under faction manager - faction - rank there is no logic even SCR_CharacterRank, wierd issue

[pseudo lintel]

I have designed a Reskin of the BTR70 but wish for it to be in the US Faction. I have changed the Prefabs "faction affiliation" to say "US" but it does not seem to be adding it to it. What else do I need to change?

[river steeple]

Add it to the US vehicles entity list

[unkempt knoll]

where can one find the setting for this option ? on the character

[remote estuary]

apply impulse in script

[unkempt knoll]

and what if i want to turn it off

[pseudo lintel]

i cant seem to find that? closest thing ive been able to find is this?
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Game_Master:_Editable_Entities_Configuration

[river steeple]

sorry, it's actually entity catalog 🙂

{D83A5EFEEF6CBF61}Configs/EntityCatalog/US/US_Vehicles.conf

[pseudo lintel]

woah thanks homie

[pseudo lintel]

its the same as the config normally right? i just throw in the non US assets i need as US ones?

[river steeple]

I think you should make a copy of the SOV prefab and change the faction affiliation and add that to the US entity catalog

[arctic dust]

I have no experience with modding and I have an idea to recreate a hefty amount of battlefield 4, on a scale of 1-10 how hard will this be so I at least know what I’m getting myself into

[remote estuary]

how deep do you want to go? is it just a sector capture game mode or do you want to do more stuff?

[arctic dust]

I just wanted to make gear and maybe a map

[remote estuary]

ez

3/10

assuming you have all the prerequisite skills

[arctic dust]

yeah, definitely, maybe

[peak ledge]

Anyone mind helping me out rq? I wanna compile a bunch of stuff into a specific arsenal for my milsim yet I cant figure out how

[cloud zenith]

Do a search in this discord. I'm sure an explanation has been give 100+ times.

[arctic dust]

I got a question, if I make gear that’s heavily based of something from another game but it’s still made by hand is that fine and not illegal?

[peak ledge]

I have

[muted venture]

Is there anything to update everything on workbench?

I trying to edit a reticle, but keep the previous config and don't change, tried everything, restart workbench, worldeditor, all

The actual reticle (I rotated it to be sure if something change on worldeditor)

The reticle on worldeditor

[muted venture]

Okay...The problem is bigger than I though

Literally change even the name of the edds and still showing the same, but if I change the reticle to another (A vanilla for example) It change perfectly

I'm not sure if this a problem with something I did, but first time getting workbench this bugged

[remote estuary]

did you edit your texture's alpha channel as well?

[muted venture]

mfg I'm the dumbest thing ever

Literally lost almost 2h with this and totally forgot the alpha channel

[river steeple]

Did anyone manage to find an answer to this?

[chrome fulcrum]

no sorry, must accept sergeant for highest rank so fair when someone find solution

[arctic dust]

If I made a map that’s a city with most of the buildings not being enterable how much would it affect performance?

Like if I made this but you can’t enter a large amount of the buildings how would it run

[cloud zenith]

If you do your lods right, add some occluders to your map and have proper multi-materials you could probably get decent performance, but regardless it still depends on hardware quite a bit.

[reef ferry]

modding is non commercial = cannot be paid for @modern ridge

[modern ridge]

I’m sorry thank you

[proud nimbus]

I’ve been playing arma reforger for about a month now and I keep finding posts about the ch47 chinook but for some reason it’s not in the workshop just wondering if it got deleted and if so does anyone know if another will be made?(P.S the UH60 mod’s seats are not there only the gunner and pilot seats are there)

[gusty stone]

has the CRX ai mod updated yet?😢

[gusty stone]

so you are basically trying to build it in a single LOD?

[pulsar cliff]

The s1203 van has 3 suns in the skeleton.

[compact socket]

Does anyone know how you increase the view distance whilst in World Editor?
I have serached this channel for "view distance" and can see its been asked a couple of times but not answered all though on person seems to have figured out how to increase the view distance.
My google-fu is also failing me

[pulsar cliff]

This should do it

[compact socket]

Ah thanks, that does indeed push out the fog, but I am still having far away tiles culled, any ideas? i'd post a screenshot but I don't appear to have the rank to do so

Figured it out, I had to ackowledge the rules

Ah ok, so its the standard advice, restart the editor and it makes the culling less aggressive! Thanks for your help @pulsar cliff 🙂
