reforger_workbench

[unkempt knoll]

just add new folder in your project

[hearty tusk]

that same direcory is used for every other script I suppose, no?

[unkempt knoll]

yep

[hearty tusk]

game and workshop? or just the game's ones

[unkempt knoll]

workshop we talking modding here not basegame stuff

[hearty tusk]

I mean workbench

srry

[unkempt knoll]

just add a folder in your project called Scripts then in there one called Game , add a script in that folder name it TAG_MagazineWell_name , add the script to it and shift f7

[tribal current]

Is it just adding and configuring those 2 components? Do you need to do more than that?

[hearty tusk]

understood, thx

[remote estuary]

your script can be called anything, and please make sure you do not actually call it "TAG_" but use your desired tag instead

[plucky jungle]

Is there anyway I can pull up the debug ctrls without using windows+ctrl? I would like to use this feature but it causes my windows to resize & my other desktops to open. Disabling windows+ctrl in windows isn't an option, needs to be in workbench

[remote estuary]

use the other alt lol

[plucky jungle]

alt? its win+ctrl

oh win+alt... im stoopid

ty

[remote estuary]

left alt does the moving screen around thing

so I have to use right alt

[plucky jungle]

left alt doesn't do it for me, my keyboards been reprogrammed tho so it might not be the normal left-alt key

Anyone have a clue of how to enable the mapdebug info? I found its layout, its in (by default) my MapConfigComponent in the GameMode

[hearty tusk]

if you pop up the "keyboard in screen" from windows and press something it should highlight the key pressed

[plucky jungle]

Yeah I could just open the app i flashed the keyboard with too, its nbd to me

might've found what I was looking for, didn't realize I could jump another lvl higher in the win+alt menu

[worthy slate]

Im new to to the workbench. I just imported my first objects but yes, as described in the wiki "Game Master: Editable Entities Configuration" . I also looked at other settings from editable prefabs to understand whats going on

[kindred swan]

Hi team - just trying to add additional supply storage capacity to the UH1H - is there a single variable that specifies, such as the Resource Value Max in the SCR_ResourceContainer ? Or do I need to add additional SupplyStorage_slots to the **SlotManagerComponent **in the UH1H.et prefab. Thanks in advance. Am experimenting but not having much luck.

[neon ore]

You have to add another physical container. But in the future you will hhave the option to just define a max capacity and the containers will be expanded or shrunk accordingly. And wrong channel.

[atomic heart]

Is it possible to chamge where the game spawns the Starting Vehicles ? like if I wanna have helis at the start it would spawns it so close that I cannot fly away safe bc of the Command tent Antenna

[swift sonnet]

You can do anything with a mod, if your asking for the devs to do it, this is the wrong channel - me thinks.

[silver minnow]

Anyone ever had workbench start to have 5 second lag spikes on many actions in world editor? I get it when placing, deleting or renaming entities to name a few and this happens seemingly on any project I open even a fresh everon copy. I've monitored gpu and cpu util and it isn't bottlenecking, everything outside of the tools seems normal. Anyone have any suggestions? Been editing fine for 40 or so hours and today its crapping out.

[torn kayak]

Check if you currently have a folder open with many unrendered prefabs. processing their previews can be an issue. but if you had it open for a moment it should no longer. feel free to make a clip of your issue and report via feedback tracker.

[silver minnow]

I'm seeing the issue regardless of what I have open in the resource browser, ill redirect the info to the feedback tracker with a clip. thanks

[remote estuary]

same issue for me, no clue what it is but it sure is annoying

[silver minnow]

Not relieved to hear others are getting it too but I did start to wonder if i was going crazy 😂

[remote estuary]

for me its like 1-2 seconds though

[silver minnow]

https://feedback.bistudio.com/T183232

clip from my end

[lapis fog]

When I attempt to open a project I just created, the resource browser doesn't have the folder of my new addon. The title of the workbench also doesn't read the mod's name, but instead just says reforger.

[plucky jungle]

whats the log say

[lapis fog]

Thank you friend. I was loading dependencies incorrectly.

[grizzled python]

How would I re upload my mod with a different Mod ID?

[neon ore]

#reforger_workbench message

[remote estuary]

I still get it having done that btw

I wonder if I missed a dir

[lethal mirage]

Just change it in the addon.gproject file, reopen and republish
If you're changing the GUID (not text id), make sure to remove the old mod first

The Workbench has a tool to generate GUIDs

[spring harness]

Prefabs, entities, components and attachments. I'm a bit lost. The biki has an entry about slots, slaps and setting up a rifle. Attachments are used extensively in the game, but there are different ways to set them up. The flashlights use one method, the bayonet uses another, etc. Attaching objects to pouches is proving hard to do. Is it because the objects don't have the necessary "points". For example the soviet entrenching tool and its respective pouch. Its no problem to attach a pouch to a belt but to attach an object to a pouch is not working after trying a few different ways.

HELP !

[silver minnow]

Wow I just followed that and the difference is night and day, must have been a sneaky windows update or something on my end that triggered this yesterday. Thanks for the help

[spring harness]

Soviet men fought with sticks between their cheeks? Well if its historically accurate it should be done... I guess? Looks inappropriate still.

Oh so if anyone knows anything about attachments, please share.

[tight dune]

It should be more to the side

[spring harness]

hmm yes indeed, but it doesn't even work yet. And placing these damn things is the worst thing ever (especially the inflated positions).

[swift sonnet]

That said, it would probably get in the way of carrying two rifles. Same reason water containers moved up a little as well.

[spring harness]

Yes yes but after tryin different methods and crashing WB I'm running out of ideas. I need help with attachments .

[spring harness]

Why are the WB top, side, front views black/dark? I was happy to find these since they would help with measuring but I can't see anything!

[verbal frost]

Hello, guys! Is there a tool to remove selected entites outside of defined radius?

[lethal mirage]

You might be able to do this in multiple steps, like:

1. Select the entities, move them to an empty layer, which you make active.
2. Using the Selection Brush (set to Active Layer) with your radius, deleting selected entities.
3. Move the rest back.

[verbal frost]

thanks

[lethal mirage]

If you need to do this a lot (like, for hours) and want a quicker way, you can also script a new world editor tool.

[wild sorrel]

cant get anything to show up in my faction for some reason

[dim jolt]

do i have to keep the format for the base callsigns or can i just change it to whatever i want the name to be?

[dim jolt]

or could someone explain what the #AR-Campaign does?

[tight dune]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Mod_Localisation I think it might be necessary to have localized string there due to rather weird behaviour when concatenating strings. You can verify it though

[remote estuary]

is there a cheat menu for conflict for instant building etc?

ok wow it popped up when i spawned

[urban river]

got an .fbx into the enfusion workbench, but when i use EBT to import into blender, the materials are simply gone
i'm a noob to blender and the workbench and trying to get into weapon modding, so directions would be greatly appreciated

[reef ferry]

materials and textures are not automatically converted by the workbench. You will need to do that yourself, and assigned texture maps to materials slots

material name and vertices/face groups are kept

[urban river]

so how do i do that

[reef ferry]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Weapon_Creation/Asset_Preparation#Texture_Import

[indigo quail]

There are any cache for Workbench? It just fucked up and throw error during addon packing for non existing file that have 0 links in any file (even binary)

[fallen basin]

I'm going to throw the link in here too because it kind of applies to both #enfusion_scenario message Feel free to remove if it doesn't

[thick lake]

Guys... there is something wired in workbench today.. last night all worked like it should. Today i started Workbench and can not Freelook anymore. Everytime i hit ALT, it changing AABB Debug settings....

[thick lake]

Reboot fixet this. Dont know what happend.

[river steeple]

Is there anything I can do, so that the modded helis can be placed on the helipad? Does anybody know why is this happening?

[final warren]

good new just found out how to do reload animations!!

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Weapon_Animation/Advanced_Tutorial

[urban river]

there's nothing on here

is there any other page or tutorial for this?

[sick ruin]

Alt button on keyboard was glitching, it’s a windows thing

[surreal stag]

the helipad has a white list component on it

SCR_CampaignBuildingObstructionExceptionComponent

you need to override the helipads and add your custom prefabs to the list

[river steeple]

jesus fucking christ THANK YOU so much!

The component actually was not on the helipad prefabs, I had to add it, but seems to work great!

[remote estuary]

is the "allocation limit" of memory based on how much RAM you have and it won't let itself try to use more? asking in context of a paging file

[neon ore]

concerning question

[remote estuary]

is it? the paging file should be usable

[final vortex]

Happened to me today but just required a restart.

[final hedge]

What's going on with the disappearing walls on ShedMetal_02_walls.et ?

Happens with similar ShedMetal prefabs too

Workbench view versus Game view

[remote estuary]

Lol it's still cursed?

[surreal wasp]

Can you help me with creating a custom faction?

[remote estuary]

probably not but fortunately there is a comprehensive guide available here https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Faction_Creation

[surreal wasp]

Yeah I wen't through it and it's going far beyond what I need

[remote estuary]

you can take what you need from it

[final hedge]

Fixed it, needed to untick "editor only"

[spring harness]

I noticed those too, Base Levie, saint pierre, military bases, etc. In order to fix these you have to edit Everon or just the prefab/prop/whatever?

[spring harness]

Noticed objects placed in world Editor sometimes hover above ground and sometimes are half buried. Is it something that can be set up in the editor or is it how its setup in the modeling softwares? Havent found anything on this in the biki, havent seen anything on this in world/prefab editor.

[craggy shoal]

facing the same issue here. Did you find a way, by any chance?

[surreal stag]

I just did it manually in the end

[craggy shoal]

Manual job time it is! Thanks mate! 😉

[solemn bramble]

Is there a way to remove objects from a map in the editor for a mission?

Like a way to l hide or remove trees or buildings

[swift sonnet]

As far as I know. No. There's two types of things. Base map, and stuff that gets added. Obviously you can remove stuff that gets added, but the base stuff is locked - unless you go into the editor and build a new world.

[dawn lily]

!verify

[half belfry]

Check your messages!

[clever garden]

Ok

I need a little bit of advice

currently making a map, and could do with a handful of custom objects that are in current workshop listed mods.
These mods have what I need, but also have extra stuff I don't need.
I was looking to ideally open these mods, compile what I need into one, and pack that so that when it comes to downloading the map, users only have to download the required objects.

All licenses are APL

Could someone potentially advise me?

[wild sorrel]

have those checked but still visible in first person

[cloud zenith]

ParametricMaterialInstanceComponent?

If that's an "attachment" on a helmet and not an actual helmet then you'll have to mod the first person camera script

[cloud zenith]

How do you plan on "compiling what you need" into one?

There is no means of extracting data from other peoples mods without breaking the TOS, regardless of their license.

[clever garden]

hm

[clever garden]

Could you elaborate on that?

[wild sorrel]

it isnt a attachment, uses one of your extra slots

[cloud zenith]

Which one?

[wild sorrel]

extra2

[cloud zenith]

You can't extract models from other peoples mods without breaking the tos.

[wild sorrel]

is where I had it in

[cloud zenith]

That slot is already set up to hide in frist person

first*

You need a parametric material instance component

Did you inherit from the ZEL_Extra2Clothing_Base prefab?

it already has the component you need.

[wild sorrel]

let me give that a wirl, endedd up swapping it to zel_head slot makes more sense there, then inherited it from your head slot

[solemn bramble]

THat Really sucks

[solemn bramble]

Not being able to hide map objects for replacement is a tremendous loss of capability which will really hamper mission development efforts for ArmA 4 and should be fixed as soon as possible. That's an absolutely terrible design choice and BI seems totally blind to their audience if they go forward with such a design.

Its just stupid

[wild sorrel]

still visible in first person, def gotta be something I did with the emat, gunna tinker around a bit with it

[cloud zenith]

Just duplicate on of the vanilla helmet materials, rename it and change the textures.

one*

[cloud zenith]

Create a subscene of the empty world and then copy and paste from the populated world.

[solemn bramble]

So for one mission I have to make a copy of an entire map just to delete some trees or mess with a town?

[wild sorrel]

will do appreciate it

that did it, works now

appreciate the help

[cloud zenith]

No worries, glad it worked.

[solemn bramble]

If I want to make a mission that takes place in the aftermath of a large fire, in Arma 3 I could just use the hide terrain objects module, remove some trees, and then replace those trees with burnt versions, add craters and smoke effects, and create the illusion. I'm just gonna stand by this being a dumb decision on Bohemia's part, we need a better way to make minor, reductive alterations to maps without having to balloon our mission size by several GB and spend hours recreating an entire terrain.

[wild sorrel]

its the alpha mul that caused the issue smh

[solemn bramble]

Its both not worth it for singular missions and reduces the quality of missions that can be produced with no clear benefit

[wild sorrel]

but also makes it more see through in 3rd person, this a bit of a headache ngl

I want it to be a little less see through in 3rd person but upping the alpha mul which does what I want makes it visible in 1st person

[cloud zenith]

That has to do with Cull and Sort in your material iirc

[cloud zenith]

Cull should be none and Sort should be whichever looks best

[wild sorrel]

I guess the transparency is just kinda stuck at what itll be as the alpha is linked to how first person perceives it as well, decreasing the transparency of it by changing the alpha multiplicator makes it visable in first person while making is less transparent in 3rd, just a double edged sword so guess itll just have to be what it be

[cloud zenith]

I got decent results.

[wild sorrel]

hmm let me tweak with it some more

also have to do some color adjustments anyways

gotta lower the model slightly too

[swift sonnet]

None the less looking good. Swamp things 😁

[wild sorrel]

@swift sonnetTell me which one looks better please

[swift sonnet]

I think the second one looks more real. The first one you can tell is transparent. Especially around the top edges. But because people like looking at their gear, I think you're probably better off with the top one.

People aren't likely to use stuff if it blocks their look (Even though that's exactly what it's made for)

[wild sorrel]

I wanted just a bit of tranparency but lots of people telling me they want it to be blocked

[swift sonnet]

Oh well, then color me completely wrong 😂. I guess the people you're talking to want proper realism.

You need a photo that's dark with him coming out of the water. It's a little odd on land.

I assume this is frogman scrim? Versus the sniper/solider hide scrim?

[wild sorrel]

yeah

[swift sonnet]

Here's the kind of transparency non wet.

Maybe do the second one, with the faintest amount of let through. Just so people can kind of make out facial features or the contour of the head.

[wild sorrel]

its gunna end up solid, cant get it to work how I want it to

[woven mortar]

so we truly have frogs now in arma reforger.

[plucky jungle]

#enfusion_generic message

you can hide/remove anything from the base maps

[midnight wigeon]

you need to play around with these two values:

set alpha Test to 1.0 and make sure the emat is then fully invisible. If not, tweak the multiplier until it is. This is important for the invisibility in first person as what the game does in the background is just set the Test to 1.0. Once invisible, lock in the multiplier value and start pulling back the Test value to a place where you like the transparency.

[tiny pewter]

Hide terrain objects module in A3 can already be implemented in AR already, just no one did it. You don't need to copy the entire map to modify things. You can just hide them like A3, just there is not this option in the base game by default compare to A3

[final warren]

sorry, asking again:
is there a way to get better fps in enfusion world editor when playtesting a map? when i open a empty test world i get 9-15 fps constantly. i tried setting everything to low under Workbench -> Game Project -> engine but it does not make a difference

[swift sonnet]

I get 75fps or so, with nothing changed. Only "low fps" when you don't have the map in focus.

[final warren]

i swear god i had it running at 150 fps one time

and i changed absolutely nothing

but the next day it was back to 20 fps

🥲

i think its not propperly using my gpu

no idea why

[wild sorrel]

Yeah I'll mess around with it a bit more, appreciate it

[spring harness]

Hmm and how big of a file do you end up with if you don't mind me asking?

Because this doesn't sound very nice

[plucky jungle]

no clue

[spring harness]

🙁 Hmm. Maybe the devs will get rid of these dependencies in the future.

[plucky jungle]

according to the devs theres another method

[spring harness]

Indeed but probably wont fix the errors.

[fringe stream]

We kinda did with ACE Chopping ;D

[plucky jungle]

those errors are meaningless, dw about them

You can 'fix' them by editing the prefab if you so wish

[spring harness]

I don't think that works, because it creates even more errors, and I can't sleep well with a console log full of errors. The game already produces tons on errors. Open a config = errors, place a prefab = errors, errors everywhere!

[lyric quarry]

What would cause meshes that have an armature attached to be offset in workbench? The look correct in blender but are in different positions in workbench

Example being trigger and charging handle

[minor void]

Heyyyy, any of you have an example mission I can port into my Workbench that has AI that actually MOVES from waypoints?

[obsidian wing]

Question... what can it be that I try to open a project with add ons and some of them load, some of them don't and sometimes not even the project I want to work on will open.
Dunno what I'm doing wrong but I had no problems like this before.

[lethal mirage]

That's usually because one dependency could not be found. Check the log for related errors.

[obsidian wing]

Thanks, I'll check again

[lethal mirage]

If you search for "dependency" in the error log console, it should show up.

[burnt sentinel]

attempting to upload project. Bundle creates successfully but doesnt publish. getting a "Referenced dependency doesn't exist or isn't accessible" error. Anyone experience this or know a possible solution. Thanks for any help!

[lethal mirage]

What are the dependencies?

[atomic heart]

How can I change the spawn location of Starting Vic, I need to spawn an Mi8 near the RUS command tent but bc of the flag and Antenna I wont be able to turn it on or it breaks the rotter blades

• I have overridden the Command tent prefab and moved the location of the Antenna (Near the flag) - Didnt help, still positioned the the same place
• Also, I resized the Antenna to lower it below the Blades but some how changes the Signal range

[minor void]

can you transform the actual starting vic location itself?

Otherwise, maybe create the starting tent without a prefab, or un-nest it, that way you can (probably) move the antenna without the game yelling at you

[minor void]

(I should probably do this so you see things, hope you're having a lovely day/night/morning/time)

[atomic heart]

I could not find anything. All I know is that it spawns them counterClockwise

[solid hatch]

hello, a question, whe using the world editor, when i hit the "play" button, is there a way to edig the game configuration? like graphics, keybinds and stuff? i can't since when i press escape the game finish and returns to edit

[remote estuary]

shift + escape maybe would not bring you out of play mode

[solid hatch]

it is possible to change this keybinds?

[surreal stag]

yup in workbench options you can change escape to anything else

[solid hatch]

good, thx guys

[kindred swan]

hi team - could anyone please point me to where i can assign additional prefab characters to appear in the ROLE SELECTION menu prior to deploying

[minor void]

Hmmm, I passed out just after, what exactly thing are you using? I’ll see if I can play with it after work today

[atomic heart]

Its all the vanilla game setting, but I wish there was a specific location for where Vic spawns

[minor void]

Gotcha, which prefab?

[atomic heart]

Headquarter ussr

I was looking nto relocating the Antenna but for some reason it keeps the original form even if I have changed it

[atomic heart]

I got it fixed

I went down the pipe and re-sized the Antenna itself and its working fine, have no idea why didnt work couple days ago ???

[minor void]

Huh, odd

You can also place another antenna for it to jump off of nearby

[atomic heart]

I wish for the antenna they would do it like when you build Antenna boost the signal by a % rather than a said range

That would add more flexibility to create more interesting scenario

That is bc it is easier to manipulate the range to your liking for each individual base.

Or

Gives us an option to say if this base gets an Antenna boost the signal 30%

[minor void]

Ah damn true

[atomic heart]

@silk wind would you check your dm please whenever you get a chance?

[mortal widget]

I'm spawning my vehicle in world editor via test world and it's stuck floating in the air and non-interactable in play mode. Not sure why this is.

• Fixed - have to switch to GM via Shift+Escape, then move the vehicle.

[muted breach]

random workbench crashes truly making me cry

[swift sonnet]

Save often. Save deep.

[peak cedar]

in world editor diag menu, how do I go back to main from a sub menu?

[proud quarry]

How do I make custom components/Make components work with a script?

[remote estuary]

backspace?

[solid hatch]

a question, i remember that i saw a way to get my "scenarioId" in the workbench, how can i get it? if i hit rmb in the .conf is not showing the option "Copy Resource Name"

[remote estuary]

are u sure u clicked the conf file

[solid hatch]

yes

[remote estuary]

are u sure that u are sure

like no cap

[solid hatch]

yep

if i do the same with the world it show the option

but not with the .conf

[remote estuary]

can u do like a screenshot

I dont think I have ever seen that

[remote estuary]

maybe u need to IMPORT it

at the top somewhere

register

[solid hatch]

register

hmm let me see

[remote estuary]

register

[solid hatch]

what this "register" does?

[remote estuary]

it registers

[solid hatch]

ah very explainatory

[remote estuary]

yes

[solid hatch]

register to where? or what?

[remote estuary]

to mod

it tells the mod hey u own this file now ok

[solid hatch]

he was not owning the file created insie the scenario with all the config to run the own scenario which is already running well inside the world editor?

weird stuff

[remote estuary]

if the meta file is gone yes

[solid hatch]

all good, thx, working now but trying to undertand stuff

now, i saw that there was a option "register and import"

now i'm wondering if i should import it to somewhere?

🤔

how do i know that is working fine?

[remote estuary]

if it's not available it means it's already imported

[solid hatch]

this is what i tough, but i ask just in case

thx

[remote estuary]

bet

[solid hatch]

question, how can i edit the ai spawn distance?

[muted breach]

Quick question for the inevitable future, is there any way to save my workbench from an accidental for loop made spawning entities

[brazen plaza]

hey, still a noob with the enfusion engine... is there any guide that explain how to make vehicles lockable? 🙂

[unreal ginkgo]

I have a bug where when you attach the scope on my gun from the arsenal, it moves the scope down near the player’s feet. Only happens when you attach from the arsenal. Works great if you put it in the inventory first. I did everything I could to make my prefab match the M21 scope’s prefab and can’t find a fix.

I know other people have had this issue as well so idk if it’s just a bug with Bohemia. Anyone have any ideas or know how to fix it?

[foggy cliff]

How can i open several World Editors at once?

Or maybe i am just using it wrong...
I open the "world" where i edit my mission, but everytime i need to edit some prefab, it closes the world and loads the prefab instead.
After i make the change to the prefab, i have to load the world again, which is quite annoying.
How do i avoid this annoyance? (beyond making all the prefabs, that i don't even know i will need, in advance)

[lethal mirage]

If you check the object properties of a placed prefab, you can press the "Apply to Prefab" to save any changes you made to this instance to the prefab.

[foggy cliff]

But editing the prefab ditches the loaded mission world and loads the prefab "world" instead.

[lethal mirage]

You don't have to open the prefab file.
You can just drag the prefab into your current world, make the change there, apply to prefab, and delete that instance.

[foggy cliff]

Aha, thank you! (unfortunately this crashes the whole workbench, but good to know there should be a way, maybe after some fixes...)

[lethal mirage]

It should not result in crashes

[foggy cliff]

I agree, nothing should result in crashes 🙂

[lethal mirage]

If you can narrow the issue down to a specific situation in which crashes occur, report it on the FB Tracker

[foggy cliff]

btw. are prefabs consisting of various meshes somehow optimized for performance (at some point, maybe when publishing?), compared to placing objects individually?
Or is it just for the convenience during the editing process?

(ie. am i loosing performance if not using then too much?)

[lethal mirage]

That's just for convenience. Any such optimizations would have to be done on a 3d modelling level.

I guess using prefabs would very slightly decrease file size if you're reusing them, but that's nothing significant in the grand scheme.

[brazen plaza]

Is there a way to open conflict mode in workbench, so we can inspect things, to see how they're working?

[lethal mirage]

Yes, the world is called CTI_Campaign_Eden / _Arland.

[elfin violet]

would this be the channel a clueless person could ask a question about mods in ?

[lethal mirage]

About making mods, yes

[elfin violet]

okay my bad, i just hosted a server and had questions about certain mods not working

[lethal mirage]

Maybe their author has a thread in #1049297536617291827

[restive hearth]

Hi, i posted my map on workshop (https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/62049A699ED13268-Voksa), but i've problem.

hmm.. I added the dependencies after the first upload

[drifting ether]

Hello ya'll I'm brand new and Im following a YT tutorial on setting up the scenario framework. When go to plugs in an go to Game Mode Setup it asks to create a header. I say yes create then get this error:

Should I hit ignore?

[spring harness]

Yes. You can make one later or copy and edit from another scenario I think.

[drifting ether]

I hit ignore and so far it seems to be working. Can you please explain what this message is saying in laymans terms?

[spring harness]

Not really. I think its saying that the code tried to do something but couldn't, so instead of crashing the program, freezing your computer and setting your house on fire it threw an error instead, which is not so bad.

[brazen plaza]

Hey guys... is there a way to set vehicles to locked in the workbench?

[hollow plover]

If you use ScenarioFramework you can use this for example. For other way idk, i just disable ActionManager on that vehicle, so its unusable 😄 -- > https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Scenario_Framework#Lock_or_Unlock_Vehicle

[solid hatch]

have anyone manage to make work the plugins > dedicated server tool?

[ashen nimbus]

Can I use the map in the world editor to move around? I would like to create a custom Conflict Scenario on Everon and traversing Everon in 3D-Space only is kinda cumbersome. So I'm looking for a way to open up the map and get some kind of action like "Move Camera to here".

[remote estuary]

press F to focus camera where your mouse pointer is? does this help?

you can do the same thing with prefab selection in layers

but no "map"

[foggy cliff]

Is there some shortcut key for "unlocking" the cursor from a running game preview window in World Editor?

I press F5 "switch to game mode" and the window where the game is running steals the cursor once you get through initial spawn menus (if any).
Which is all good and desired, but then i would like to have means to detach the cursor again, until i click back into the window.

Sure, current workaround is Alt + TAB, but that is annoying to do, in case i want to stay on the World Editor (maybe i just want to scroll up the console log to see previous messages, etc.)

[swift sonnet]

Yeah I only know of alt tab. Would be nice if there was a hotkey like shift F5 or cntrl + alt + F or something

[foggy cliff]

ideal would be to let the user decide the shortcut key, but if it couldn't be changed, i vote for Left Win key

[foggy cliff]

PLEASE, PLEASE, for the love of all holy and such!
Give us the ability to change the Workbench World Editor's "game preview" closing key from Esc to something else.
I bet most people have a strong muscle memory from using Esc to close inventory, or any other menus, etc., and not only in this game - i don't think i recall any SW or game where Esc would be the equivalent of Alt + F4.
It is bad, BAD design choice.
Please, help us retain our remaining sanity, give us means to change the key.

[swift sonnet]

Oh it's so painful. How many times I hit esc to close inventory 😂

[tawny pawn]

Change Esc to End in settings

[foggy cliff]

Before i wrote that, i did that 3 times in a row! 😄
That is why i snapped 🙂

[remote estuary]

it do be a bit weird

[foggy cliff]

So it is already possible? Where do i find those settings?

[foggy cliff]

and what kind of dark ritual is needed for that magical window to appear? 🙂

[tawny pawn]

Workbench - Options in top left corner 🙂

[atomic heart]

Workbench >> Option

[foggy cliff]

Oh... i see, i was expecting the World Editor related settigns to be somewhere in the World Editor, but i guess it makes also sense to have all settings in one place

[tawny pawn]

I hear you, and I agree

[swift sonnet]

Oh nice! I didn't even know there was options

[foggy cliff]

There is a lot of useful settings - i can even lower the graphics quality, so the GPU can get some breathing room and don't need to run at 70'C all day long nonstop while i am in the editor!
Or, when needed, i can probably also increase the view distance, which "inability to do so" was one of my recent complaints.
This is great.

[foggy cliff]

Is there any trick to make the Workbench more "eco friendly"?
...while i am in the Script Editor, i don't need the GPU to run at maximum power doing who the hell knows what.
Surely, typing in a Script Editor shouldn't be pushing the GPU to the max temps.
So clearly, there is something wrong in how the Workbench works - no matter where you are, the World Editor keeps chugging out frames for the preview windows like there is no tomorrow.
It is really unnecessary.

I lowered the graphics settings in the options to the minimum that can be set there, including limiting FPS to 30, but it helped just a little.
It is still wasting energy and producing heat for absolutely no reason.
That's not cool man, not cool. Not cool indeed.

[remote estuary]

when I only have script editor open my gpu fans are practically idle

[foggy cliff]

Of course, but try it with the World Editor open and a world loaded.
Even if i minimize the World Editor window and switch to Script Editor, it still consumes a lot of power (look at task manager) unless you Alt+Tab out of Workbench to some non-related app, and has heavy GPU usage (look at whatever you are using to watch the GPU temps, system wattage, etc.

[remote estuary]

um maybe close world editor idk

or disable render altogether in cheat menu

[foggy cliff]

That isn't practical 😦 Ideally it should be addressed by the devs at some point.
One thing is playing a game for 2 or 3 hours, another thing is spending 12 hours per day working on a mission while the computer keeps cooking itself (and me next to it).

[peak cedar]

Why would AI not spawn in when using dedicated server tool plugin in world editor? Is it broken? They spawn in just fine when using world editor like a listen server. O.o 🤷‍♂️

[remote estuary]

are you using ambient patrol scripts? they check if players are connected to the server and disable AI when there aren't any... not sure if relevant

[peak cedar]

I do have a peer connected, but still no ai spawn.

Neither do ambient vehicles

[solid hatch]

is there any settings to avoid selecting the "parent" or the "main" world stuff like that:

[solid hatch]

another question, how to i set the world editor time and weather to always stay day and clear?

[hollow plover]

Switch it to "active layer"

[solid hatch]

Thx mate 🙏

[summer pecan]

hello, how can I come to know what the following means: 15:24:39.948 NETWORK : Starting multiplayer client using command line args. 15:24:40.038 NETWORK : Starting RPL client, connecting to address 127.0.0.1:2001 15:24:40.039 RPL : Starting client 15:24:40.138 RPL : ClientImpl event: connected (identity=0x00000000) 15:24:40.238 RPL : ClientImpl event: disconnected (identity=0x00000000), group=4, reason=6 15:24:40.238 RPL : Pip::Terminate 15:24:40.238 RPL : IReplication:: Terminating 15:24:40.338 RPL : Pip::Destroy 15:24:40.338 NETWORK (E): Unable to connect as client to '' 15:24:40.538 ENGINE (E): Unable to initialize the game 15:24:48.646 ENGINE : Game destroyed. 15:24:48.664 RPL : Pip::Destroy?

[solid hatch]

Unable to connect client to ‘’

No idea but like missing ip or something?

[summer pecan]

It's from the peertool log

[summer pecan]

It turns out using the ArmaReforgerSteamDiag.exe executable is the solution.

[remote estuary]

still no button to clear those mod presets in launcher

[remote estuary]

can we PLEASE have the ability to duplicate/inherit into a specific folder so I don't have to do this delete metafile and reimport thing

or does Reimport after I move a prefab elsewhere do it?

[solid hatch]

is there a way to select multiple prefabs and change in all the same property at once?

i mean, select in the hierarchy

[solid hatch]

got it, they must be the exact same prefab

[devout nest]

I deleted my mod from the workshop and now I can't publish it again. I'm getting this error every time I open the publish menu:

Is this expected? Do I need to create a new project from scratch and upload that instead?

[kindred swan]

hi Paul. I am not sure if there is a "fix" for this. I had the same issue and the only way I could resolve it was to generate a new GUID and rename my project, uploading it as a new one.

[ashen nimbus]

Probably a stupid question, but how can I change the settings of the World Editor? I'm running Linux and would like to adjust the render distance to have less fog in the World Editor to better navigate.

[foggy cliff]

You get to the options from the "Workbench" - not the "World Editor" as most probably expect (as i did).
So, Workbench, main menu in top left corner - Options

And in the Options it still isn't under the "World Editor" tab, but under the "Game Project" tab (just go through all the options, you'll see it)

Oh wait. You are not asking where to find the general gfx options.
You know where that is, but you want to know what setting to change to get greater viewdistance...
My bad. Then i can't help you, because while there are bunch of settings that may play a role in this, i don't really know.

[ashen nimbus]

Thanks for your answer nevertheless. I previously thought that the view distance in the World Editor is as low as mine for everyone, but after watching a couple of YT tutorials I saw that others have a way higher view distance in the World Editor than I have.

[foggy cliff]

The only thing that comes to my mind is to try setting higher details overall - view distance is likely to be tied to some of it.

Also, lets not forget any weather/environemnt settings in the world - set via whatever is used for that, some component on GameMode, or the like.

...you may have the greatest view distance, but if your world is set to be full of fog, you may still nto see far.

[ashen nimbus]

That's how it looks on my end

[remote estuary]

compile scripts, crash

right click in a config, copy, crash

both within last hour

[solid hatch]

in the world editor, not playing, editing the scenario, is there a way to open the map to move the camera to a point instead of flying searching something?

[swift sonnet]

Place a object, search for it and click.

[solid hatch]

not a solution, i want to navigate the map

[neon ore]

On Terrain Tool panel, Manage tab and then on Tile Map.

Ctrl + scroll wheel to zoom in and out.
RMB to drag the map.
Double LMB to teleport.

[swift sonnet]

There's that too. If you want to keep that tab open.
Wouldn't be a bad thing to have a mini map or cntrl+k then a number camera teleport bindings

[remote estuary]

the map you see in game is not really a world thing but an entity in the world, so it makes sense

[neon ore]

I mean, you can mod it in, either in WB game directly or a plugin

[swift sonnet]

Yeah actually that's true. Not a big concern for me. I just fly everywhere. Just throwing it out there.

[solid hatch]

Thx, that’s something

[brazen plaza]

is thre a specific reason why my testworld keeps ignoring my overridden us_campaign.conf and keeps pulling the vanilla?
I did it once, it worked. Since I haven't found out how to open my mod1 and save it as mod2 - I recreated everything from scratch again. and the second time it doesn't work anymore.

[solid hatch]

that one tool that i can't activate?

[neon ore]

You need source data for that

I thought you were implying on your own terrain

[solid hatch]

nope, just editing a mission in everon

[brazen plaza]

Hi guys, is there any difference (functionality wise) except visibility in the mod shop when I'm publishing unlisted?

Or, are there any limits which mods should be published as unlisted?

[tight dune]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Mod_Publishing_Process here you have some notes about various visibility settings

[kindred swan]

Hi team

I have a project of which RHS is a dependency. Strangely today it has started failing to upload to the workshop.

It completes to 99% then reports a failure.

The log refers to the following errors :

Just wondering has anyone has experienced this ?

[crude elm]

Hey quick question I wanna start making vehicles are they allowed to have emblems or is that a no? Copy right infringement is only technically a violation if your making profit or for commercial use so I would believe so but just wannna clarify Bohemia ToS!!!

[swift sonnet]

Technically Copyright infringment is at anypoint, but enforcement requires proven "loss" - so you can fly under the enforcement radar, but BI could take a loss, so they will likely enforce other peoples IP rights.

(US/CAN law btw)

[foggy cliff]

World Editor keeps activating some strange colored wireframe view.
It has to be some keyboard shortcut that activates it, but i can't find it.
Restarting it doesn't help. How to set it back to normal?

It looks like this

Never mind, found it: Alt + Numpad 6

[swift sonnet]

It's the secret level 😂

[foggy cliff]

😄

[final vortex]

Oo that's all he colliders

Nice to see how to do that

[sick widget]

I added someone to my list of contributors and they don't have any invitations, am I missing something?

[neon ore]

Have they uploaded anything in the workshop before?

[sick widget]

No, but they have their workbench linked with their account, should I make them publish a small thing?

I made him publish a small test mod but he still doesn't have an invite pending

[neon ore]

He needs to publish something first

Then send the invite after

[sick widget]

He just published something and he doesn't see it
Should I update the mod removing him from contributors and update it again readding him?

[neon ore]

Yeah you need to readd him

[sick widget]

Copy, thanks 🙂

[neon ore]

Also make sure that he published something on the same version

Exp is not the same workshop as stable

[sick widget]

Yeah, all good, thanks for your time

Nothing, it still says no pending invitations

[neon ore]

Which mod is it and who is your friend? (BI handle)

[sick widget]

4thID - Scenarios
"SoupFromChicken"

He shows up as contributor on the page, so idk if that is it but he did not accept any invitation

And well, he cannot edit the mod so I imagine there is something I'm doing wrong

[neon ore]

He shows as contributor

He has to download it on WB

then he can publish it (Aka update it)

[sick widget]

We added it as a project from the main arma reforger folder and it shows as locked, how does he have to download it otherwise?

We readded the project by clicking add existing project but it's still locked

[neon ore]

He needs the source

[sick widget]

So I send him my mod folder?

[neon ore]

yes, then he has to load that

Make sure that he does not have the packed mod in the addons folder of Workbench

[sick widget]

That makes sense

Thanks

[devout imp]

what happen here?

[solid hatch]

it looks like the Server Connection Failed. Publishing not available.

😇

[white prism]

@devout imp@solid hatch i got it too, after i waited abit to try again, now every time i try load my project it loads one of the dependency's over mine, tf is happening??

[tight dune]

why did you created your project in profile?

Move it to some sensible location

[white prism]

@tight dune i did the folder isnt showing in the menu

just noticed it in profile aswell

[tight dune]

where is it located then?

[white prism]

addons folder

@tight dune where should i put it?

still doesnt explain why tf its loading the dependent over the main project?

[solid hatch]

go to workbench, options

check for dependencies

[tight dune]

Addons? It shouldn't be there too

[tight dune]

Log Console will contain hint

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Mod_Project_Setup#Arma_Reforger_Workbench_loads_without_selected_mod most likely it is this issue

[solid hatch]

it shouldn't? i'm confused

there is the correct place for your addons, isn't it?

[tight dune]

I thought he ment ArmaReforger addons, not ArmaReforgerWorkbench, my fault

[solid hatch]

ah idk, where is your addon folder @white prism ?

show the entire path

just like i did

[tight dune]

I would check this first #reforger_workbench message

[white prism]

docs/mygames/armareforger/addons

[tight dune]

ok, so it is incorrect as I thought - that is first issue

[solid hatch]

ok, you have it in the game, instead of in the workbench folder

docs/mygames/ArmaReforgerWorkbench/addons

close all, move the entire folder to the correct place

[white prism]

this is the error i get in console and opps i meant armareforgerworkbench/addons sorry

correct?

[solid hatch]

now, go to Workbench > options and check for dependencies

[white prism]

yep and its forced on this one addon and wont show mine?

[solid hatch]

you have 0 dependencies listed, but i bet you must have dependencies on terrains right?

[white prism]

yeah

[tight dune]

there 126 errors - copy whole log maybe

[tight dune]

he cannot do it since addon is not loaded

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Mod_Project_Setup#Arma_Reforger_Workbench_loads_without_selected_mod you can also search for error that is mentioned here

[solid hatch]

i see

some friend of me have the same mess, is doing a terrain dependant on another stuff that is not listed as adepencendy, he just hit "open with addons" and keep working like that

when he publish this thing will not work i guess

[white prism]

this is the console after loading the terrain

[solid hatch]

i think all what it says Wrong GUID/name for resource @"{ means a dependency that can't be found, you have to fix dependencies(theory)

read what reyhard post above and see if that help

[white prism]

@tight dune @solid hatch you guys a legends!!!! so went into addon.gproji and removed all dependants and its working perfectly

[solid hatch]

mate, you didn't understand, you must fix them, not remove them

if you terrain/mission/scenario/whatever depends on stuff it must have it as a dependency

[white prism]

i allready readded them back as dependants and now it loads as it should not being overwritten. should be fixed right??

[solid hatch]

check the dependencies in options

[solid hatch]

btw, i saw that you moved these dependencies/addons to your folder docs/mygames/ArmaReforgerWorkbench/addons

i'm not sure if they are getting updated in there, if they don't you will have outdated dependencies

so, what i would do is import these from the docs/mygames/ArmaReforger/addons, you can update dependencies in-game workshop

[solid hatch]

looks good now

why the project folder name is "profile"? that's wo weird and why does have a different color?

[white prism]

No idea 🤣 cheers tho much appreciated ill do that now

[tight dune]

it is not project probably - just the terrain

I assume author started doing world in profile, instead of his addon

[solid hatch]

so this will not work at publish time?

[solid hatch]

what can you tell me about that @tight dune ?

[tight dune]

read only addons download by Reforger should stay in ArmaReforger

ArmaReforgerWorkbench is more for projects

[solid hatch]

ok, this fits with what i suggested

[tight dune]

although I don't remember atm now - if they are in ArmaReforgerWorkbench/addons then they might get automatically detected by Workbench

since it is one of the folders that is automatically detected

(if Workbench is launched)

having there read only addons means that they are no longer updated via Workshop

[solid hatch]

ok, just what i tough, good to confirm that, thx

[solid hatch]

nope, you have to import manually or scan for projects and chose the folder, atleast in the projects screen

btw, arma reforger is not required to be imported anymore right?

[tight dune]

yes, only manually added things are visible in Enfusion Workbench Launcher

but, things in ArmaReforgerWorkbench/addons will be visible to engine

14:20:07.085  INIT         : INIT         : Workbench Init Engine
14:20:07.085   ENGINE       : Initializing engine.
14:20:07.103   ENGINE       : Addon dirs:
14:20:07.103    ENGINE       : dir: 'D:/Reforger/Respositories/rhsreforger/'
14:20:07.103    ENGINE       : dir: 'D:/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Arma Reforger/addons'
14:20:07.103    ENGINE       : dir: 'D:/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Arma Reforger Tools/Workbench/addons'``` you can check that in logs

[solid hatch]

but this will not break my stuff, i mean, if these are visible, can i use stuff from these even if is not a dependency? i guess not, but just i case nvm, obviously not

[echo plover]

Any ideas when openning up my addon, its not visible in workbench. I can select it at the start, but opening it then checking the options just loads the ArmaReforger Addon.
Tried removing, readding nothing seems to load it correctly. is this a common issue?

[echo plover]

Resolved, was a dependency issue, had to open project config and manually remove dependency.

[sick widget]

Objects that are marked as cluttered don't show the objects, only when clicking play they show up

better explanation, entities that have sub entities for compositions, the sub entities do not show on the workbench

[sick widget]

Restarting it makes it work

[spring harness]

World Editor still has bad weather. Procedural animation editor still crashes at launch.

[solid hatch]

well, i think the moment has come, is this what i think?

Subversion?

[tight dune]

https://tortoisesvn.net/

[solid hatch]

omg, serious xD

and it's full integration or only logs?

i have to install svn right? i used this elder stuff like 10+ years a go with Java, then been always git

[tight dune]

just a basic integration - https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Resource_Manager:_Options#Use_SVN_integration

[solid hatch]

is there a way to override a single attribute from a prefab and not the whole prefab?

[lethal mirage]

Well yes, that's what overrides do.

It won't override anything you didn't actually modify.

[solid hatch]

any info about these frames?

postframe, fixedframe, afterfixeframe?

[lethal mirage]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Event_Handlers#Entity_Event_Handlers
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Entity_Lifecycle

[distant jackal]

Good morning!
can I ask you a development question?
I've been making a map for a long time and I don't understand the difference between prefabs/prefabLibrary?
Is there no difference between?

[lethal mirage]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/19VrUpAId4UGjykBw1rTP375Q9l2udNIEHPhTzqEgrSc/edit#heading=h.hajpynmmnmec

[solid hatch]

how can this be so bad configuring it, what i'm doing wrong, every time is complaining that can find my addon

[remote estuary]

step 1 use one addons dir and store project and dependencies there

this is a suggestion, not a general rule

[solid hatch]

so you mean that this may wrongly work:

[remote estuary]

in the event that you have the same mod in both folders it will pick the wrong one to load

[lethal mirage]

I'm not 100% sure this is the issue, but I think the addon path is supposed to be:
-addonsDir "C:\first\path,D:\second\path", not
-addonsDir "C:\first\path","D:\second\path"

[solid hatch]

i do not, i delete it to avoid that

[remote estuary]

oh yeah path might be incorrectly defined

[solid hatch]

let's see

it is required to restart the workbench every time i touch this config like i just heard in a video?

now is not complaining about the addon

13:56:30.254 NETWORK   (E): Unable to connect as client to ''
13:56:30.455 ENGINE    (E): Unable to initialize the game
13:56:33.910 RESOURCES (E): ==== Resource leaks ====
``` a lot of leaks

[lethal mirage]

No, you don't have to restart

[solid hatch]

maybe the server config now, let me see

same sh1t

[lethal mirage]

What's happening on the screen?
Does it start the game and work for the host, but the peer client won't connect?

[solid hatch]

the cliet thows error saying about read the log and closes

but in the world editor keep going working

now, if i run this config from plugins>dedi_server>run, then works fine, same config

but hitting the play + server+peer is not working

[lethal mirage]

Not working at all, or just the client not connecting to the otherwise working game?

The second, right

[solid hatch]

working from world editor, but the other client the peer it closes saying to read the log which i paste

[lethal mirage]

Can you post console.log instead of error.log?

[solid hatch]

let me generate a new one

2 screens

Audio device initialization failed, result = 7 hmm

let me try something

fixed the audio but still errors

[lethal mirage]

Can you post another picture of your PeerTool configuration?

[solid hatch]

yep

Peer Tool Config

Dedicated Server Config, which works fine

i know, there is "game.exe" and "ArmaReforger.exe", i have them both

[lethal mirage]

Maybe try ArmaReforgerSteamDiag.exe

[cloud zenith]

Your peertool, yes that ^^

[solid hatch]

log after audio fixed

only relevant i can find is

14:17:49.344 NETWORK   (E): Unable to connect as client to ''
14:17:49.543 ENGINE    (E): Unable to initialize the game
14:17:57.644 ENGINE       : Game destroyed.
14:17:57.665 RPL          : Pip::Destroy

and then 14:17:57.678 RESOURCES (E): ==== Resource leaks ====

[solid hatch]

but why does work just fine with the dedicated server?

also, running the dedicated server is connecting me to the localhost, so i assume that there is a running server in localhost

but then, i open the game, try direct connect and the server is not found

https://tenor.com/view/what-confused-persian-room-cat-guardian-gif-11044457

[solid hatch]

is working with this one, why?

should i use the server diag so i will find the server with the normal game?

🤔

[cloud zenith]

Because that's the one you're supposed to use as of, one of the updates.

[cloud zenith]

I think @peak cedar could tell you.

[solid hatch]

but then why is working fine with the normal one when running from dedicated server pluggin?

[cloud zenith]

Because peer tool and the server plugin were designed to work differently?

[solid hatch]

are they different? having the same name?

[cloud zenith]

Are PeerTool and the Dedicated Server Plugin different?

[solid hatch]

the server plugin have the peertool inside

configs the same

is this different?

[cloud zenith]

It would seem to be so if one exe works and the other doesn't. I'm 95% positive that we were specifically told to use "ArmaReforgerSteamDiag.exe" for PeerTool in some patch notes.

[solid hatch]

is this thing documented somewhere?

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/news/modding-update-march-6-2024

[neon ore]

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

[cloud zenith]

I think his issue is actually connecting to the server locally after using the plugin.

[solid hatch]

it looks like you cannot connect with the normal client

[neon ore]

It has to be diag

Always

In any way wb is comnected

Diag

For server and fpr client

[solid hatch]

i have to copy them from the game/server into workbench right? these are not inside the workbench files

[neon ore]

Also the executable for the dedicated one has to be the server diag for servers

And for peers the diag game

I think i saw gramps doijg the wrong one

[neon ore]

No

[cloud zenith]

D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Arma Reforger\ArmaReforgerSteamDiag.exe

Path to executable.

[solid hatch]

if you configure the dedicated server plugin with both with the normal exe it works

[solid hatch]

and the server?

[solid hatch]

but this is the workbench executable, i'm talking about the game/client and server

[neon ore]

Bit its wrong

It will misbehave 😉

[solid hatch]

now i know, but is working, so i letting you know

[cloud zenith]

Executable path should be the path to your serverDiag.exe, Peer Executable should be to the ArmaReforgerSteamDiag

[solid hatch]

but i have to copy these from the other folders, not comming inside workbench files, or they are?

[cloud zenith]

There is no need to copy executables

[solid hatch]

ah ok just the path

like this so

[cloud zenith]

That should be correct yes.

[solid hatch]

you know that i copied them into the workbench folder and it worked? xD

[cloud zenith]

Yes that's fine but, there still isn't a reason to copy them.

[solid hatch]

all good, i want to know the correct way

So I guess that's why I couldn't get ai to spawn using the normal exe's. Thanks I'll have to try this tonight!

[solid hatch]

how is this possible?

[dim jolt]

errors are good yeah?

[remote estuary]

red makes things go faster

[dim jolt]

does anyone know why my ai grenadier is running to the left instead of straight ahead to his waypoint in the direction of the cps? his mate also just doesnt move so i have one guy stuck in place and one running away from everything

they are ai that spawn with a ambient patrol

[dim jolt]

they keep wanting to head left but they move now until they get stuck on rocks, is there anyway to prevent it or is it more a navmesh issue

[dim jolt]

doesnt matter where i spawn them either they always want to go south

[remote estuary]

navmesh bug in map

[dim jolt]

thankyou, ig ill have to leave that one up to kiok

actually nvrmind just had a look and from what i can tell i can generate a new navmesh, do you think that would fix the issue?

[loud hawk]

How do I get another person the ability to work in the same project file as mine?

It would appear based on some functions I'm seeing in workbench that this is possible

[verbal prairie]

Is there any scopes that can be used with nvgs

[reef ferry]

wrong channel

[solid hatch]

guys, in the world editor we create layers, is the most used

but, there is also folders, what are the usage of these?

[reef ferry]

#enfusion_scenario

[lethal mirage]

So you can further organize layers into groups

[solid hatch]

so you put folders inside layers since you can't put layers inside layers

[lethal mirage]

yes

[solid hatch]

i see, thx

[lethal mirage]

well, the other way around

layers into folders

e. g. you might have a "roads" folder with a "roads_asphalt" and "roads_dirt" layers

[solid hatch]

yep, organization as you wish

something like that

[solid hatch]

the hell is that

[solid hatch]

ah fk, found it

i disabled the arland layer xD

[solid hatch]

does anyone knows what is that parameter used for?

what does that means?

i'm not 100% but what i saw is something like increasing number of groups per weave

#2 weave = 2 groups

#3 weave = 4 groups

all this with 1.5

Hi! How to make buttons and submenus on top of own WB tool? (like Terrain Tool / Sculpt / Smooth)
[ButtonAttribute("Height Tool")] make button only on bottom part.
[Attribute(category: "Buttons", uiwidget: UIWidgets.Button, desc: "TestButton")] - no example for this...

[craggy shoal]

guys, basic question here.
Is it possible to select more than one project to open in the Launcher?
use case : I want to pen a character project and a terrain project, on which I want to take screenshots. I do not want the world to be set as a dependency.

[low depot]

Don't think so. But you can run 2 workbench same time, use wb exe in steam folder and run as administrator.

[cloud zenith]

Right click the project in the launcher, Open with Addons, choose addon.

[craggy shoal]

Thanks guys!

what is the correct way to add like weapons and gear from RHS to the US faction w/o adding the entire faction?

i did copied the entity catalog items group by group, but, is there any faster and better way?

[solid hatch]

[solid hatch]

did the name change?

US_InventoryItems.conf -> InventoryItems_EntityCatalog_US.conf ?

its been like that for a while now, not sure when its changed

Music - Bagpipes Mod: bahuma made a wonderful mod for music. We can play the piano or organ. How can we contact them?

It would be wonderful to have some bagpipes as equipment during the game.

Could anybody help create a bagpipes mod? (And maybe a kilt mod to go along with it?!)

[remote estuary]

trying to make a mod be like

crash guid 7bc47147-7efc-4e44-9a58-6c81becfa80f

someone save me

what does the car controller component want now that I dont have and crashes me?

[remote estuary]

I dont get it I had it added then I removed it and re-added it and it crashes every time I hit play, obviously it follows the principle of not logging what's wrong so I don't know where to look

[spring harness]

I have noticed that sometimes removing or disabling something doesn't "stick" and you have to delete, re-override or redo the .et

[chrome prawn]

What would cause a Mod download to hitch around the 48-50% mark? I've uploaded a mod to the workshop and it downloads much slower than mods of comparable size. It continues to hitch during download and takes an excessively long time to download. The Arma Reforger logs show no errors during downloading and the only error on Workbench are the GUID Texture errors.

if anyone can help me out would be fantastic

[peak cedar]

Why would ai not spawn when using the dedicated server tool, but it does when running an actual dedicated server?

[swift sonnet]

Yeah I had the same problem. I wasted like 14 hours yesterday and it turns out I just had to delete and rebuild. There's some funky engine stuff when it comes to properties not applying.

[spring harness]

I too wasted some hours wondering why something didn't work, which was resolved by reimporting the .et

[slow turtle]

All of my points seem to be correct yet nothing is rendering in my scope, and it shows its like behind me?

[river steeple]

Does anyone know, where can I now set how often are supplies replenished in conflict bases etc.? I am pretty sure it was set in Campaign_GameMode prefab, but none of the components there are used to set the supply system. Did it move somewhere else?

[brittle ivy]

Does anyone know how to add assets to the map I’m developing this is my first time developing a map in any game and there’s a couple things I would like that isn’t in the default map maker.

[atomic heart]

If the assests are from base game you just go to prefabs and find em there and add to your map (you need to creat a sub layer)
If using someone elses assets out side of vanilla you need to open your project along with it (them) and also have em as your dependency when publishing it

[hardy quest]

check SightsComponent offsets in the weapon you are applying it too

specifically Sights position and pivot ID

[hardy quest]

adding assets is as simple as drag and dropping the prefabs, if its a vic or somthing else it might throw JIP error when loading scenario though as stuff like that has to be placed 1 frame after game start

[remote estuary]

if its a Placeable Entity then it should not be there on map start unless you are not interested in save/load functions

[spring harness]

What? So you have to spawn stuff into the map to use the save/load functions?

[remote estuary]

No. Editable entities coming with map are saved as placed by user and thus duplicate on load, since the map ALSO places them

[worldly falcon]

How does the localization work? i did everything manually like in the wiki but the names are not replaced for vehicles. when i try it with Plugins localise selected files the editor crashes

[midnight wigeon]

in the string editor UI there is you have to find "Build Runtime Files" somewhere in the menus

[worldly falcon]

i did that but still

[midnight wigeon]

Table>Build Runtime Table

then most likely its displaying some other string that you did not localize.

Very often it happens that some prefab has multiple components with UIInfo and when the string is displayed it might be coming form a UIInfo that you didnt expect

[worldly falcon]

so i localization i have the id MyMod-Car and the source of the car selected and in the car prefab i have in editor component uiinfo set #MyMod-Car

[queen surge]

So no matter what I do, I get this error when my peer tool tries to spawn in as my custom faction in a custom conflict scenario. It never did this before the big update back in June/July, so I'm wondering if there's a fix for this

cant say anything for certain in your case, but iirc when I had that issue it was because my mod, which made overrides to gramps mod, had a duplicated version of grams scenario/world included in it.

trying to add more guns to gun dealers in over throw any tips?

[spring harness]

Contact the author.

[swift sonnet]

Anyway to regenerate the .meta's after renaming files?

[lethal mirage]

Delete and re-register?

Why do you want to change them?

[swift sonnet]

Re-reg doesn't rebuild the metas it seems. I needed to rename my files, and the auto linker was doing ok, and then it wasnt

[lethal mirage]

I don't think renaming a file would require changes to the meta content

[swift sonnet]

ok so this all being wrong isn't a problem?

the guid I assume is ok, with no errors

The paths didn't get updated

[lethal mirage]

The resource name in the meta doesn't have to actually reference the current file path, it's just a name/id, not a path

I believe file and meta are linked together simply by file name

If you change the name of the file, it changes the name of the meta

I never observed any issues arising from the resource name not changing

[swift sonnet]

rgr

[lethal mirage]

And even in general, I don't think the non-GUID part of the resource name matters at all, not even as an identifier

I'm pretty sure you could change it to anything, and references to the old name would still work as long as you left the GUID intact

It seems to exist only for display purposes, so you can see what the GUID is associated with

[graceful moon]

So looks like if you upload and then remove a mod you can no longer upload it again, cause "asset is deleted".
There is a workaround:
You can generate a new GUID from the Utilities menu and replace the old one in your project settings, restart WB and you can upload again.

[graceful moon]

try this ^

[cloud zenith]

It definitely should though. Or at least it does for me.

Maybe it doesn't for some file types?

[swift sonnet]

Rgr. I might be that it was just nackkered. I blew away the repo and repulled. Thanks for the info though, i'll know for next failure 😛

Anyone know what I can do to fix conflict missions that have broken radio setups? I spawn in, and the main base is not part of a radio network, so I can never capture any points. Building radio repeaters does nothing and building antennas does nothing. Here's a pic of what I mean:

No matter what I do, that yellow icon in the top right of the base never goes away and I never get any objectives.

[atomic heart]

Do you have the radio setting right?

• Make sure you have Radio manager added
• Then go to MHQ (MOB) and make sure SCR_CoverageRadioComponent is Turned on

[atomic heart]

Most likly you didnt set the** Is source** tp be Active

I need more informations of what is your scenario and what did you do to build it. Did this error occur when you do a fresh "GM_Enden" world and just spawn your entity ?

[mental nacelle]

Hello, please tell me how to attach the sound of an explosion after destroying an object? only with a script or is it possible in another way?

Yeah, so I've...

1. Created a sub-scene of EdenEmpty.
2. Used the 'Game Mode Setup' plugin with the 'ScenarioFramework' config.
3. Configured the Navmesh component of the AIWorld entity to use 'MP/CTI_Eden'
   4, Create a waypoint and AI. Create a static waypoint for the AI group to 'Move' towards.

But nothing happens and the log shows the same errors:

1. Creating the AI Group and complaining there's no AIWorld entity
2. Creating the AIWorld entity 😑

okay I fixed it, I needed to provide the LowRes navmesh as well

[mental nacelle]

Help please 🙏🫶

It results in entities from both worlds being loaded, both for server and client.

how about layer files? same name maybe

[worldly cradle]

Could someone simplify what the APL-ND license mean ?

[lethal mirage]

There's a chart here https://www.bohemia.net/community/licenses

[worldly cradle]

I was already reading the license, just want a better understanding for them as they kinda contradict each other. I wanna be able to make my mods without someone just using it as their own.

I also just want to understand the license better, an which ones are used for which.

[lethal mirage]

The only difference between APL and APL-ND is that ND prohibits you from sharing adapted material.

Adapted Material is "material [...] derived from or based upon the Licensed Material and in which the Licensed Material is translated, altered, arranged, transformed, or otherwise modified".

[worldly cradle]

So if I copy something from a mod, then publish my own project without that mod as a dependency, is that a problem?

[lethal mirage]

If the mod is licensed under APL-ND, you are not allowed to do so even if it is a dependency.

If it's under APL, you are allowed to copy+modify, then share the adapted material, as long as you comply with the other parts of the license (e. g. attribution).

Same for APL-SA, except that the adapted material must also be distributed specifically under APL-SA.

If you want to prohibit others from sharing modified versions of your content, you should choose APL-ND or a custom license.

The main thing I don't know is how exactly to interpret the definition of "adapted material".
Duplicating a prefab would certainly fall under that, but inheriting? Making a subworld? Just referencing (e. g. placing) it somewhere, without reuploading it?
I think these would still be allowed under ND, but I'm not 100% sure. There was supposed to be a FAQ at some point but I'm not sure if that's still happening.

[worldly cradle]

Interesting. Who/what enforces those licenses? Because based off what you're saying, I see a lot of violations on the workshop already.
Also, who is to say they didn't just figure something out the same way. What proof would there be of copying? Especially if it was tweaked enough to not be an exact copy.

[lethal mirage]

On the Workshop, BI enforces the license, if requested by the author.
I don't know if there are that many violations, most mods are not even ND.
Even for ND mods, the author might still have given individual permission or be tolerating it in most cases.
How to determine if something was copied? It depends. There might still be remaining indications.

[celest forge]

As you know there are plently of videos out there on learning the reforger framework. Would you recommend any to avoid time sinks and not current information? Thanks in advance.

[grave ibex]

New to map modding here, can anyone help me with uploading a map I have made to the workshop so I can get it onto a server.

[vestal estuary]

You need to set your new world to be loaded in the mission config of your addon. Then load that scenario (mission) on your server config.

[swift sonnet]

Will BI even allow an "all rights reserved" licence?

[lethal mirage]

Do you have a video that may help me with this?

[bold grove]

why do i have a black viewport?

[shadow dust]

I saw parking lots on some maps and zebras over the street, how to make these on my own enfusion map? Or is it custom textures?

[kind topaz]

hi, I'm editing a mission in the world editor but when I put an AI group I don't get the models as such of the PJs, only spawn when starting the mission, is it necessary to activate something or configure something?

[vestal estuary]

Nah I don't but you want I can try to explain it in more detail.

[tropic zodiac]

It's broken since a while.
So A.I. characters will not show up in edit mode.

workbench needs to stop collapsing my folders every time I navigate to some prefab, gosh this is frustrating

[humble compass]

Amen 🙏

[kind topaz]

how do i set up a workshop arsenal in a box, i have seen on the WCS servers that they use one mod and i would like to use it for my mission, i have the mods in enfusion workbench but i don't see any prefab with the arsenal and i don't know if i have to call the class with a script to change the vanilla arsenal for the WCS one or how to do it.

[SOLVED] i need the WCS loadoutEditor

[tropic zodiac]

Yeah there really is some stuff which is super annoying.
Not sure how often i've already closed the two folders top of script editor cuz i never use them.
Must be > 1000x.
Why can't they just stay the way they were?
It's working in other tools why not in script editor?

anyone have a method to edit everon now? when I create a sub scene with correct folder structure and copy stuff over; it always crashes. Even if I do it in 1/20th's when i get to the last few things it crashes for some reason

Hey guys, im running into a issue, When using the mine components to make another item placeable, when i try to place my item my character just stands there and i can not move unless i jump.?

[swift sonnet]

It sounds like you were editing code or disabling stuff. When you place the mine it goes and does an animation and then releases control of the player. If you've buggered that up then your character is going to freeze.

[brazen plaza]

@velvet glacier what's the mods name for your garrison uniform? need this in my life.

[knotty nebula]

If I wanted to change the color of a humvee, or add props to it, could I just use the work bench ? I’d do I need a different program .

[slim adder]

hmm thanks i will have a better look at it, also Does the mine have 2 models? one for holding in hands and one once placed? And if so where do i finde how to change the in hand model?

I feel like iv looked up and down

[swift sonnet]

The mine is the same object, in inv and placed.

[spring harness]

You can just add the components to your prefabitem, right?

[swift sonnet]

PlacableInvComp does most of the work, then MineComp does the rest of the work

Must be Arks code, reads like EV life's 2H code.

[spring harness]

I haven't looked at them yet, but from the mine thing you just need the animations. The jerrycan should be similar but with different anims. The mine method should work nicely to transport ammo cases 😃 .

[swift sonnet]

Thats what we are using for alpha.

Why can I not edit everon? It shows locked and that I cannot edit anything.

yes I believe so

[naive sleet]

Hello all. I am running into an issue as well. Let's say I want to make a vehicle like an electric scooter or ATV players could pick up into inventory. I have "InventoryItemComp" added to vehicle and the weight/vol set. I am getting this console log, I am assuming it is due to the way vehicle data is handled but maybe I am just missing something. Not sure if there is an example vehicle or anything to look at? Is this even possible? Thanks for any help!

[pearl idol]

how do i test mods and stuff out in the workbench itself

[verbal pebble]

Could use some assistance on what i feel like requires a minor solution.

I made my own pouch preset folliwing RHS's guide on their page. I did everything correctly. when i tested it in a test world, it appeared in box and everything correctly. When i was done testing, i renamed it and now it doesnt appear in my server's arsenals. how do i fix it?

[verbal pebble]

it saves it as a world and not an object

[bitter portal]

Making two mods. One depends on the other. When I am inside the dependent mod I am not seeing things that should be there
The disable budget bit doesn't appear. As far as I can tell the addon.gproj doesn't contain a version? Just a guid which seems to point towards the mod on disk. I can verify that by right click -> show in explorer -- which takes me to where that mod. It's the same folder used by the core mod project.

Any ideas why I could be missing things? FYI the dependent mod DOES NOT modify the edit.conf.

Are the runway decal prefabs bugged? Seem to only show up as a white square.
Before the last update I think they may have been classed as GenericEntity rather than DecalEntity, wonder if something broke.

[gritty trout]

I noticed same.

[astral mortar]

Is it possible to disable an overwrite that you made? I meant to duplicate an item

I duplicated the overwrite item and then deleted the overwrite file

[cloud zenith]

What?

[astral mortar]

Nevermind, I figured it out, I was explaining it poorly

[spring harness]

When someone explains poorly you have to understand poorly? In this case It breaks the inheritance so I think not.

[astral mortar]

Yeah what I meant to say was I overwrote an entity, I meant to instead duplicate it, I worked on the overwrite a bunch without realizing this mistake and looked to try and make it so that way it no longer was an overwrite. I duplicated the entity (the one I made as an overwrite on accident) then deleted it. This solved the problem

[spring harness]

You deleted the override but the duplicated was still good. AH! I didn't think that worked.

Workshop is a mess.. i have to upload 5 - 8 times until it works (4GB - 30 min each)

my upload speed to workshop maxes out at 15 mbps for some reason

even using multiple different connections

[devout imp]

My world editor looks like this, what happened? Or how do I fix it? It appears like this in all projects

[devout imp]

I have already uninstalled and installed it and the problem persists. If I press play it shows me an error and closes the program.

[thick lake]

I cant see any spawnlogic / spawn point? Is play from camera checked?

Hello,

I have a question. I’m almost done with my map, but I’ve been facing a problem since I started working on it. Now it’s urgent to solve it. After loading the project, all roads, both asphalt and dirt, just disappear under the map. I have to select them all and snap them to the ground for them to show up again.

[remote estuary]

how do I disable the feature that does not immediately save the things I am saving? so I can avoid the feature that reverts my saved changes after crashes and after changing something

Can anyone help me understand how to fix this error with peertool?

[jovial reef]

Just started to dip my hand in workbench, this is gonna take a minute to learn isn't it...

[spring harness]

Depends on what you want to do but, yes.

[spare trench]

What's the best way to learn Reforger modding?

[mild basin]

Honestly the best way is to think of a mod you want in the game and then find all the info to make it work

For example I wanted an ak with black furniture so I worked towards that

It's better to work on something you want in the game

[jovial reef]

Honestly thats gonna help me learn to.

[ashen breach]

How do i add a something to the editor?

for GM

[torn haven]

Hey guys , i want to create a mod for vehicles ? but i never did before not even for arma 3 so where i can start ?

[lethal mirage]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Car_Creation
Be advised that this is an advanced project and will take some time.

[lethal mirage]

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

[torn haven]

okay so is it easier if i took one of the existing vehicles and change the body and almost everything about it from outside but keep the functionality? @lethal mirage

to be honest im thinking about something similar to JLTV
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7ZHPMuw9mc&t=2s&pp=ygUdYW1yYSByZWZvcmdlciBKb2ludCB0YWN0aWNhbCA%3D

maybe if i change that mod alittle, i think that means i can use it as dependencies

[lethal mirage]

No, "change the body and almost everything" is a lot easier said than done. If you want to add a vehicle, you should follow the tutorial.
If you want to start with an easier project, Car Modding might be a thing you could do, but you're just not going to make something new there, just e. g. change color or driving characteristics, helping you get familiar with that aspect of car creation.
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Car_Modding

[torn haven]

I see well then seems if i want a different vehicle i must create from zero , damn this is hard i tried to follow that document but couldn't understand anything lol

[lethal mirage]

That's why you start with an easier project, and not something massive like a new vehicle.

[torn haven]

Also noticed i. That document it says to be updated

[lethal mirage]

It's going to be fine mostly

[torn haven]

I better find group of people interested in creating mod

[torn haven]

One more question does creating vehicle like JLTV require programming?

[lethal mirage]

No

[remote estuary]

I mean, just making a car doesn't, but some systems like onboard displays will if you want to get into that

[torn haven]

at some point yes

but thats fine for me

[hardy tartan]

My map bounds are glitched i can't go past them while my map is there, what was the fix again?

like in the editor its like a wall i can't go trough but when playing character i can

[low depot]

Where can i find mission dependencies version numbers? I need get for server config.

[lethal mirage]

By mission, you mean scenarios included in a mod? These don't have inherent dependencies, only the mods do, and they don't specify version numbers, just GUIDs.

[lethal mirage]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/19VrUpAId4UGjykBw1rTP375Q9l2udNIEHPhTzqEgrSc/edit#heading=h.8k354vmiujzh

[low depot]

i found versions on workshop, but don't see where is it in Workbench. Info not in .grpoj

[lethal mirage]

Interesting, maybe it's just the version from when the mod was uploaded.

[hardy tartan]

thanks!

[remote estuary]

1. In server config, version is optional
2. It is not possible to specify a dependency version of a mod, so it assumes any version is OK

[fluid flame]

guys if im going to make missions is it the arma tools i am doing it in, or can missions be made with game master and still uploaded?

[lethal mirage]

There is currently no official way to share GM saves, no

If you want to distribute missions for the whole community, you have to make a mod

[spring harness]

You will want to use World Editor for this, and check out Scenario Framework. There's some bugs in it atm which should be fixed in the next patch. Also check BH6's tutorials and

YT stuff.
