[dark estuary]

i have a whole squid game game mod waiting 😭

[errant hare]

that sounds amazing, but those who wait on something good doesn't wait in vain.

maybe there are some "gold plating" to do on it meanwhile? idk.

[midnight linden]

Has there been any word on when its coming back or is it crickets?

[full jacinth]

no idea

[past crown]

It’s confusing because I see in recents on the workshop a mod got updated today

So it’s like either there’s a time block that people squeeze into where the backend for workbench functions (probably when the attack is at its slowest)

Or some people are just getting lucky

[worldly compass]

yeah i figured something was up with publishing, but I am having no problems playing on wcs servers though

Hopefully it gets sorted soon I have a nice map to upload

[leaden shuttle]

did you back up your mod in a zip file before ?

[mild jasper]

I have my mod folder backed up on another drive. Even if I point it to that I am still getting read only. I was hoping it was down to the backend issues but no one else is having the problem so it must be a local issue.

[leaden shuttle]

when you open tools, remove the prject and then re-add the project again

poiting to the correct folder

[mild jasper]

Yeah have tried that too

It's very odd. It's something my end, I will take a look again later maybe even reinstall workbench but it's odd it's happening on both exp workbench and stable

[errant hare]

I am wondering if there are a light/bright theme for workbench?

[granite imp]

Any chance vehicles can get multiple reverse gears as well? Currently working on a tank that in reality have equal number of forward/reverse gears

[analog pebble]

Hi guys, when I try to publish my map I encounter this problem. The Asset GUID specified in the error matches the GUID of my project. Maybe someone knows how to fix this?

BACKEND (E): [RestApi] ID:[8] TYPE:[EBREQ_WORKBENCH_GetAsset] Error Code:400 - Bad Request, apiCode="workshopApi.assetNotPublished", uid="1739213269080-768308", message="Asset 64770A732AEA31D6 is not published"

[past crown]

Please read the conversation above. Most of the general answers are tossed in there. The TLDR is that the DDoSing is impacting the workbench whether that be by the attacker themselves or BI closing the workbench to prevent information being sent through it via publishing

[burnt sentinel]

At this point it seems like its been disabled for reasons only the dev team knows. Since everything else has been (for the most part) running well.

[analog pebble]

Yes, I saw it but I want to be sure that the problem in my project is not because of me. This is my first project and I would not like to do it completely and then find out that I just can't upload it because of an error at the beginning.

[oblique crag]

is any timeframe currently known when we be able to update our mods again?

[icy sluice]

Yes, I would be interested in that too.

[dark estuary]

nope

some day

[icy sluice]

But as far as I know, the team is deliberately silent about it. Because it probably looked like the best way to paralyze the servers with the attack was via the workshop. Since access was probably the least secured. It's a guess because there will be reasons why it doesn't work anymore. But the servers have been running more or less stable since then.

[oblique crag]

Your right

[icy sluice]

But slowly you should get the topic under control. Since it has already driven away many new players.

[winged agate]

hello guys, i make a .et file. nothing special. just some tables etc but now i try to add it to GM as placeable item but i can't figure out how. any help ?

[cloud zenith]

Look at any one of the vanilla prefabs(.et files) that exist that already do what you want. Use whatever components they have to make your prefab behave the same way.

[winged agate]

i try to add rigidbody, rplcomponent and hierarchy. i don't know if i must add mesh object because i use multiple items in that. can i add any mesh there ? is it necessary ?

[cloud zenith]

I completely misread what you were wanting. Perhaps checking the wiki will help.

[sturdy hound]

I heard from a little birdie that we can upload to workshop now?

Update: No.

[gusty tartan]

Had me there

[true escarp]

Are other players able to find an Unlisted mod on the workshop using GUID? Wondering because it has a "Private 🏴" indicator on the Workshop thumbnail on my end

[atomic dune]

Is there a way to revert workbench addon version?

Say you deleted something by accident or messed up on a map is there like an actual way to correct something like that or is it tough luck

Besides the Undo button but let’s say something internally destroyed your work

I’ve been wondering that for a bit now

[true escarp]

Asking this again because my friend cannot seem to find my mod using GUID despite being unlisted (not private)

[sick sierra]

Yes but they will probably need to add it to their JSON, also all unlisted mods currently show up on the workshop website

[true escarp]

How would they go about adding it to their .json? As in, which .json are you referencing?

Also, it appears that my mod does not show up on the website. However, I can personally search its GUID in-game just fine.

[leaden shuttle]

Make sure to check test and unlisted to see all the mods

[safe dew]

Is there a guide somewhere on how to correctly set up the dedicated server tool in workbench? It's proving hard to search anything for it because of the community dedicated server tool.

I'm not entirely sure how the -addonDir should be done to allow it to load any dependencies my mod has while still loading the workbench mod. I've pointed it to my mods folder, as well as my projects folder which seems to work fine for the server, apart from it not being able to load the world in my mod. If I load a vanilla world it at least starts without saying it can't find any mods.
The peer on the other hand just give up on start saying it can't find my addon (the one in workbench) with the same -addonsDir

[turbid tangle]

https://coalitiongroup.net/wiki/index.php/Setting_up_Dedicated_Server_Tool

Set it up how it is in the image, to get the list of addons needed to run the server, just run it without the parameters, the server log will print out the list you need to run it.

[safe dew]

Ahhhh found my problem immediately. I was closing the projects and addons paths on either side of the comma.
Like -addonsDir "<Projects>","<Addons>"
Working now. tyvm @turbid tangle

[pallid copper]

@lusty bridge bro dm please

[wraith rover]

Hello all, Working on creating my first scenario. I have it complete and saved. How do I get to see it in reforger game? Under Scenarios? Do I have to publish it to play locally?

[distant helm]

Is this normal now?

[scenic pasture]

Yut

[simple hollow]

normal for two weeks.

[simple hollow]

you cant publish it, you can run in through cli and have your friends do the same.

[woven mortar]

and they should have the same packed addon in their device? so they can load the world through cli

[simple hollow]

from what i understand, just the mod folder in your tools folder. I personally just going to wait till i can publish not trying to have a head ache

[wraith rover]

When you say run through CLI, do you mean in steam startup parmaters have -addon mymod? I have tried this and made my file was in my addons folder but it shows up but it says it cannot locate game files.

[simple hollow]

startup command so yes

[wraith rover]

I was able to get it to show up in Scenarios. But it says I missing the dependency. How do I figure how what dependency that is? I can see the GUID for the dependency under the gproj file.

[simple hollow]

I never tried it. so I couldn't tell ya, maybe load the mod decencies too? maybe the same way.

[minor sleet]

Anyone know which setting in the debug menu disables the mine placement UI? Ive been through every category and submenu and havent found anything.

[distant helm]

It seems to me that this is a feature that does not turn off.

[wraith rover]

Following Capture and Hold Tutorial, I get to the point to launch scenario in game and it says I am missing the dependency. The dependency is the Arma Reforger. Anyone else ever run into this problem.

[pallid copper]

did you set it as a dependency

[wraith rover]

by default it setting it as dependency. I assume from creating a sub scene of the capture and hold map. I will try and remove the dependency and see what happens.

[wraith rover]

Regorger will not start if I remove dependency from the scenario that I created.

[visual marsh]

Anyone know why I would get a full crash when trying to place a decal on a terrain? I'm wondering if I've missed a step somewhere but not sure where

[midnight linden]

any word on publish yet?

[remote estuary]

Unpublish works tho, if you're into that

I was able to delete a mod

[simple hollow]

i like to destroy my hard work just to test it out

[remote estuary]

I unfortunately tested unpublishing first

[simple hollow]

i did it just to see if it worked funny how you can delete but not upload

[white hollow]

I keep getting this error code when trying to publish my mod. Any ideas?

[final peak]

I scrolled up and read a little, seems to be an issue that's been going on for a while.

[simple hollow]

a week too late to post

[white hollow]

Yeah..I'm a bit challenged I guess. Is it possible for me to use my mod locally without officially publishing it?

[pure kernel]

It’s a backend issue u can use it in the world editor as like a gm but I’ve found it rlly buggy on my end

[white hollow]

Yeah my mod is literally just an edit to a config file to another mod,just changing one number from 0.2 to 1

[misty palm]

what can i be missing from my gamemode or whatever if i cant die at all.. not to fall damage not to explosions nothing. my gamemode is setup exactly the same as i had it on everon x arland map but im guessing this one (just everon from CE mod) is missing something or im just being dumb

[balmy cradle]

What's your gamemode setup look like? Screenshot pls

[balmy cradle]

Oh, doing something related to EveronLife. Did you follow this part of the instructions? https://github.com/EveronLife/EveronLife/blob/main/docs/custom_server.md#adding-the-game-mode Beyond that, I'm not sure when it comes to EL. I know all CentralEconomy does is allow for item spawning. I don't touch anything related to character damage in it. And the Everon-CentralEconomy world comes by default with no gamemode.

Maybe missing SCR_GameModeHealthSettings within your gamemode? Not sure if EL utilizes that or not

Also, when it comes to CE, I recommend looking at #1301291009635909664 message as I'm going to be updating how item spawning works once the Workshop is back to working normally, and would hate for you to do all the work in the config when it'll be converted to Json 😄

[misty palm]

ill look into it more tomorrow. im just confused cause on me previous mess arounds i havent had to touch anything regarding any health or damage it was working out of the box so i was thinking it might be some mod i added into this "test" that messes with things (tho i really cant see what mod would make you invulnerable) or missing part of gamemode like hit reg or something... idk ill debug tomorrow.. thanks so much tho ^^

[misty palm]

oh im aware.. im far from making any sort of config and also waiting for the update im at stage where im messing with values seeing how it all works together to then make a config that make sense

[balmy cradle]

Hopefully it all get solved! If not when you try it again tomorrow, there should be a Discord for EL listed somewhere on the GitHub repository that you can go to and get further help!

[pallid copper]

Nothing takes this long to fix lol

[trim drum]

I doubt that anyone is going to fix it at all. Obviously, this was done on purpose.

[pallid copper]

yep seems that way

all its doing is destroying the game though lol

[full jacinth]

Is there a possibility for reforger to ignore dependencies? Like in arma3? It would simply not load such things

[full jacinth]

😭 Why does this expand anytime I unselect my prefab

Its so annoying, any tips how to set different default behaviour?

Hi guys, I'm trying to create a team deathmatch game mode on my own custom map, when I set the respawn component to auto spawn it works fine, if i change it to menu spawn however, it throws up an error in the SCR_RoleSelectionMenu, specifically this line: protected void InitMapPlain()
{
ResourceName conf = "{A786DD4868598F15}Configs/Map/MapPlain.conf";
m_MapEntity.OpenMap(m_MapEntity.SetupMapConfig(EMapEntityMode.PLAIN, conf, GetRootWidget()));
}
This script is read only and as far as I can tell I cannot edit it even when overriding to change A786DD4868598F15 to my maps GUID (which is what I'm thinking is the issue). any tips?

Also, weirdly I have hud sounds but no other sounds, related perhaps?

[misty palm]

it was antiglitch mod. set me invincible but never unset it. 100% config issue on my part as i just added it not ready to mess with it. thank you so much to for your fast reply yesterday

[balmy cradle]

No problem! Glad it got solved 😄

[misty palm]

now trader configs

[balmy spindle]

another addon i added into the workbench file isnt showing

I was messing around w the dependcies for my modpack and now when i open my mod it doesnt pop up

just this

[cerulean grotto]

How do i add a mission header?

[tranquil pilot]

if you use Game Mode Setup plugin in world editor it will help add one for you

otherwise just duplicate one from base Missions folder and change it accordingly

[cerulean grotto]

Got it...Thanks

Is it possible to load a mod into the game if i copy it to the addons folder? Its not being detected for me to load under mod manager

[cerulean grotto]

trying to get around not being able to publish atm

[tranquil pilot]

yeah. look at -addonsDir and -addons config here @cerulean grotto https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Startup_Parameters

so you should be able to launch the game with -addonsDir pointed at your ArmaReforgerWorkbench/addons to run your addon in game locally

[balmy spindle]

can anyone help me w this

[tranquil pilot]

workbench probably doesnt see your dependencies

when you open workbench, where it asks you to select a project, add the dependencies via "add existing project". then try to load your mod

all dependencies have to be registered in that list for workbench to be able to load them

(you can also use the Scan option if you just wanna add your whole addons folder)

[balmy spindle]

yeah I removed trhe dependencies and only had the arma reforger one

but the issue is i only see one addon but i have 2 addons inside the workbench folder

[wraith rover]

@tranquil pilot What am I doing wrong I cannot see the Scenario I just made. I can see one that I downloaded from workshop. Example Mission.

[balmy spindle]

nvm issue got resovled

[young barn]

To be able to upload or not to be able to upload, that is the question.

[rancid schooner]

So are the workbench working again?

[tropic zodiac]

What did not work with it?

Workbench always worked.
It's the NOT work shopn't.

[pallid copper]

your missing a mod causing others not to show i believe

[stoic wigeon]

Missing a mod (or mod dependency)

[trail pawn]

Hello. I ad a dependency to my project and now i can't see it when I open it. But I can see it in the project. What's happening?

[pallid copper]

SAME as before

[trail pawn]

I have to restart the project from scratch?

In the pc I see the folders

But when I try to scan for existing projects I can't find it

[pallid copper]

just make sure you open with all mods you had added when first creating

you dont need to set it as it will pull regardless

[trail pawn]

Yesterday I have 3 dependency and it's was OK. Now when I ad 1 it happen this problem

[pallid copper]

your missing something that was there yesterday causing that dep now not to show

[trail pawn]

The dep is showing on the main menu and the project so. But when I try to open the project, workbench open one of the deps

[pallid copper]

even when you hit open with

[trail pawn]

Yes yes.

Workbench open and i can't see the folder name of the project. Ony arma reforger folder and deps

[pallid copper]

go back to you main mod remove dep then see if can pull the missing dep from hitting open with and see if it appears

i assume if you open each separately all files show ok

[trail pawn]

Already do it. I remove all dep. I have only my project on the main but when I open it, it's looking like scrap. But yes, all files show OK in the folders in my pc

I have this problem time ago but I was working on it only half hour. So I cancel the project ad start again from scratch. Now I was at the finish work to ad 1 dep and bye bye project 😭

[pallid copper]

are you using a dep thats no longer available

[trail pawn]

No no. There are all ok. I ad only wher ai am mod

Today

I try do reinstall workbench but nothing change. Thank you @pallid copper for helping

[trail pawn]

I will try a new project. But first I will load all the deps. So if something is wrong from the beginning I will find out which mod or dep is causing this problem

But first I have to chill down 🤯 😂

[pallid copper]

yes thats what i was suggesting up abit check each will open and files on left look good

[river sun]

I'm not sure which setting I've messed up

I was hoping to get some info here but the link is broken: https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/239129-cant-use-whole-terrain/

[jade cedar]

Hi, I happened to find your post looking on how to unlock a mod so I can try and fix someone elses mod for them. There is absolutely reason to unlock a mod - or at least for uploaders to make the mod itself unlocked so it can be fixed if they neglect to keep up with it

[cloud zenith]

If someone wants you to fix their mod they can add you as a contributor and give you the source files (if they're legally able to do so). Depending on the license you can fix the mod by using it as a dependency. Other than that, you will never have access to any source files of any mods.

[jade cedar]

dog disappeared and nobody has gotten in contact with him; his protac mod has been broken for months now

Some people literally won't be around to fix their mods

[cloud zenith]

That sucks but, what you're suggesting will never happen.

Hello. I like to ad ghillies in my project. But i don't won't to see Bush player's all around the map 😅. So I was thinking if is possible to disable the ghillies from the arsenal?? So I can spawn them in a secret place so only snipers can know the place and get it

so ive got a script currently that works and its made to propel characters and AI into a ragdoll state depending on explosion types and distance to the explosion. currently like i said it works however it seems to have an error that isnt logging in console thats making me crash sometimes when an explosion is about to happen. if anyone can dm me and provide insight on some troubleshooting that would be great

I wonder, was that an intention to start banning mods when uploading to workshop doesnt work and the issues arised from that cant be fixed, or was it just an oversight?

[past crown]

I don’t think it was intentional but maybe a byproduct of the attacks. As earlier a BI staff member said either in here or #enfusion_generic that they found the error internally and the fix would most likely come with the next stable update

[simple hollow]

Pretty sure that was a different issue. Something with compiling a script.

[gusty tartan]

Are you writing code or is this a module throwing an error? Index out of bounds mean you are accessing an array beyond its size. Ie: say you create an array int foo[3] = [1, 2, 3] . Its an int array with a size of 3. If you tried to access foo[5] it would throw an index out of bounds exeption. Also note that arrays start at index 0. So an array of size 3 would be accessed with foo[0] foo[1] and f[2]. Foo[3] would throw an index out of bounds exception. People new to coding make this mistake alot.

I think it's a module throwing an error as I got this trying to delete ai

[crude pewter]

So is work bench broken? I keep getting rrror 400

[midnight linden]

been broke since the 6th

[crude pewter]

Really?! 😆

And oof

Typical BI

[leaden shuttle]

Wish we could publish mods again

can BI re-enable network connectivity to the servers just for 2 h ?

[turbid tangle]

[leaden shuttle]

I think they took the servers down on purpose, potentially needing to do some forensic analysis post incident ?

or damaged Hardware

[burnt sentinel]

feels like its been disabled more than actual issues tbh.

[leaden shuttle]

or re-architecturing the infrastructure

[leaden shuttle]

my thought too ...

[slate kraken]

Guys i having this issue on publishing a mod

DEFAULT   (E): Uploading failed! Reason: ""
RESOURCES (E): Publishing failed```

[glossy relic]

where have you been?

[slate kraken]

Is the workbench still down...

[slate kraken]

I was away for a while, thinking it would be resolved... I didn't see the previous messages

[tranquil pilot]

clearly its up

[smoky turtle]

Works fine for me 👀

[pallid copper]

uploads not the actual bench

[austere tulip]

Does anyone know how I could make it so players could potentially join another faction if let’s say I enabled it via a config? Is this achievable? I am using Gramp’s PVE Mod and I basically want to run an event where players will be divided up and some players will fight along the side of AI. But right now you can only join one faction.

I don’t want this to be enabled all the time just when I want to run the event. Or if anyone has any better ideas or approaches to this.

[pallid copper]

yes just make said faction playable and changable

[austere tulip]

Very new to the tools, where exactly is that done? Is it a config within the tools?

Right now I have prefabs (rank limit/supplies) entity configurations, and miscellaneous changes done.

[pallid copper]

scr_gamemodecampaign

[austere tulip]

Thank you!

[pallid copper]

welcome

[austere tulip]

Now, to go about it this way, is there a way I could enable/disable it live? Or would it require restart? Like for example, if I ran a command it would essentially enable/disable it? Or could I make a config that has a true or false in it?

[austere tulip]

Is this possible? ^^

[pallid copper]

you could set tickets for that faction spawn once use no more spawn or use the spawn protection system without looking into it some else may have a better solution

[austere tulip]

Is that all handled via the class above?

[pallid copper]

there scr_spawncomponents if remember correct

[austere tulip]

Ah okay thank you!

[upbeat horizon]

Hi, I have this error message when I leave my world. I can't find the line. Could this be linked to the workbench which is stopped? I don't remember getting this error message before. Thanks to you

[charred hedge]

I get this all the time too! I’m not sure what it means.

[leaden shuttle]

Still no changes today about the workshop ?

[undone kestrel]

Nope. Still down

[leaden shuttle]

Lol they posted a youtube video about mods but yet the mod upload is broken

[undone kestrel]

It’s a pain, I have to think at this point it’s an intentional shutdown by BI.

[leaden shuttle]

oh I'm 99.9% sure it is

[remote estuary]

Hey deleting works

Unfortunately I tried testing delete before upload

[scenic pasture]

One of the BI reps said they are working on a rework for what’s allowed on stable. IE: no unlisted or test mods. Change from what I read wouldn’t happen till after 1.3 is moved to stable. Potentially all unlisted or test mods would go on Experimental till they are ready for full release to stable. I think a quote I read was the workshop is way too cluttered with WIP or test mods.

[shadow bolt]

Hey im trying to make a PVE conflict mode for Gulfcoast Islands, where should i start?

[gusty tartan]

Thats bullshit. We should be allowed to have private mods. I don't wan't every scenario i publish for my server public.

[scenic pasture]

I could be wrong about the private mods as it’s still up in the air. But the WIP and unlisted mods was mainly what I was referring as that’s what I understood

[remote estuary]

It's already public since you can view all server mod lists on battlemetrics

[gusty tartan]

even private servers?

[remote estuary]

Yes no problem.

wow i cant even upload my mod

Error Code 400 Bad Reqiest and then not even an error reason

I'm testing swapping out mounted weapons on vehicles. I swapped a 50Cal on the Willys jeep for a British GPMG but when you mount it you can't fire or move so it looks like there are no animations. Anyone have any luck with doing the same?

[glossy relic]

You can have private mods. Just distribute the bundle privately...

[gusty tartan]

Thats a pita though.

[glossy relic]

So no, you can't use public infrastructure to distribute private mods. But you can bundle up your mods and distribute them to a private group AFAIK.

Whether that violates any TOS with BI is u pto them.

Have they said about it ?

[tropic zodiac]

About the publish problem?

[faint hawk]

yeah

Hello, how can I get the "Dedicated Server Plugin" to load regular mods that are installed with my normal Steam Reforger Game?

I am using "-addonsDir" to add the regular Reforger addons directory, but it keeps saying "Can't find Mod xyz".

What am I doing wrong?

[tranquil pilot]

you might need to add multiple directories for it to work. like this -addonsDir "dir1","dir2"

add your games addons dir, add your workbench addons dir, etc

Day 17

I'm in shambles.

Unable to upload to the reforger workshop I find myself succumbing to caveman-like behavior

I just made a fire in my backyard with sticks

My dog is looking tasty

My wife left me

I'm in a loincloth

I muttered my first unga bunga today.

Society is a construct of my mind of which I'm LOSING BECAUSE OF WORKSHOP API

[loud hawk]

World editor. You can play gamemaster/conflict.

Also fun fact you can join conflict servers from the world editor

I don't know if it actually works I never got that far

[remote estuary]

yeah it's weird how long they are dragging this out

[gusty tartan]

I figured out how to do it the ghetto way. I just dropped the data.pak into an older version of my mod. Seems to work fine

[loud hawk]

Unga Bunga that sounds great.

[simple hollow]

wait you have a wife? did you steal her from someone else?

[loud hawk]

Had a wife unga Bunga 😦

Also apparently it's day 19

[simple hollow]

def 19.

[loud hawk]

I've lost count of time it's been so long. The rats in the corner of this padded room are talking shit to me but the angels in the white shirts says they aren't real.

But I know a real rat when I see one. They wear top hats and sing and dance.

[simple hollow]

i've resorted to touching grass and i do not like this.

[unreal ginkgo]

My theory (based on pure baseless speculation and stupidity) is that the DOS attackers used the workshop as an attack vector, so Bohemia temporarily disabled the publish API. This would explain why publishing went from timing out while the attack was ongoing to just returning BAD REQUEST. And they have to keep the publish API disabled until they can patch whatever the vulnerability was.

Makes perfect sense if you don't think about it.

[remote estuary]

Whew good thing I read that line at the bottom

[unreal ginkgo]

I may need to speak to a psychiatrist after that schizophrenic ramble. But I'm really trying to piece together why we can't publish long after the attack is over. I feel like they must have manually disabled the API, but I have no idea why or if that's even true

[remote estuary]

It's hard for me to say what I think it is without getting a warning

[unreal ginkgo]

Yeah, I'll shut up too lol

[devout cliff]

Hello, can I set a vehicle to patrol on a mission? I can't figure it out, how could I do it?

[pallid copper]

you need to set as a patrol if you DM ill walk you through it

[devout cliff]

I'll try to see if I understand you, thank you

[granite imp]

They should have just used steam workshop... Nobody here would have complained about that...

[unreal ginkgo]

I'm sure they have a very good reason for using their own workshop

[granite imp]

Because console money.... 🤑

🙉 🙈 🙊

[unreal ginkgo]

Well, there ya go

[loud hawk]

!Warn

[uncut niche]

i belive neither xbox nor sony would be supported by a steam workshop...

[granite imp]

But console store interfaces suck and have inbuilt backdoors... Why would anyone support corruption... Thats the whole reason steam have been building their own OS that people on consoles can replace shitty XBOX and PS5 OS's with...

What's the process of adding Game Master to a custom world? I've tried adding GameMode_Editor_Full but that doesnt seem to work correctly with me being unable ot move the camera in Game Master

[pallid scarab]

Can someone please help me understand (or direct me to the appropriate documentation) how to load a world in world editor thats not part of the base game? Like if I have WCS Eastern Europe in my add ons folder.. where is its ENT file and how do i add that folder to be a place to open from

[clever mulch]

You need to add the addon as a dependiency of your project

Let me do that my self so I can walk you through it

I'll do this with a diffrent addon for the purpose of demonstation

[pallid scarab]

Thank you.. i keep reading that I need to do that, but im missing something because its not adding the worlds folder from eastern europe as a directory for me to open from, even if its selected as a depend

[clever mulch]

First you will want to locate your addons downloads folder, this should be C:\Users\<USER>\Documents\My Games\ArmaReforger\addons

[clever mulch]

Lets try going through this to see if you missed a step

Now with your workbench open, but without a project opened select Add Project -> Add Existing Project and locate the addon you want to use in the addons download directory

(You can also use Scan for Projects in your addon download directory to just add every addon in there)

Once you browse to the addon's directory, you will want to open the addon.gproj file

Once you do that, the addon should appear in your workbench launcher

@pallid scarab Is this a existing project you want to add it to or are you creating a new one?

[pallid scarab]

yep got that

I want to edit an existing

[clever mulch]

Gotcha

[pallid scarab]

So i have the eastern europe project in my projects list now.

[clever mulch]

So now open your project

Then you will want to go to Workbench -> Options

[pallid scarab]

a new one, or the existing one

[clever mulch]

WDYM?

[pallid scarab]

Like, am I adding a new project or opoening the existing one that I just added to the projects list

[clever mulch]

Opening your existing project

Dont open the one that was added to the list

Open your project

[pallid scarab]

Oh, okay so a MY project, got it

[clever mulch]

Once you have that open and you've gone to Workbench -> Options select the + button in the Dependencies section

Now you should see the following in your Dependencies list

To the right of where it says (unknown addon) select the ... button

Then like before, browse to the location of the addon you want to add as a dependency and open the addon.gproj for the addon

[pallid scarab]

Okay, got that

[clever mulch]

You should now see it as a dependency

[pallid scarab]

yes

[clever mulch]

Next, completely close the workbench

Then re-open the workbench and open your project

[pallid scarab]

Aha.. thats the part I missed. Re-opening

[clever mulch]

If everything worked, you should see it in the resource browser

Ah

[pallid scarab]

Yep, thank you very much

[clever mulch]

No problem

[sturdy hound]

11 days. when new stuff starts to pop up on this page then uploads are working again https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop?sort=newest

[loud hawk]

Been 20 days

(I have been keeping count)

[tranquil pilot]

last upload was 2/6 so thats 11 days ago

some mods pushed updates on 2/7

[ashen nimbus]

Is there an API for the workshop to access it?

[ruby quest]

Is there a way to disable the white cylinders area vizualizations that are dotted around on the map when inside the World Editor? I think they're related to SCR_CampaignSpawnGroupPoint

Tried View -> Toggle Visualizers, and it doesn't remove them

[pallid copper]

you can decrease the size to 0 which makes them not show

[remote estuary]

Not a public one

[dark echo]

is there a way to request access to upload mods to the workshop again? Ive been told by buddies of mine that people have been able to contact bohemia to enable uploads again but how exactly would I go about doing this?

[burnt sentinel]

Havent heard anything like that, but if true that’s some shady business for sure…

Mainly because there hasn’t been any official statements made apart from”it’ll be fixed when its fixed” - 💩

[grand escarp]

Anybody know why the engine is not letting me register and import sound files? They are wav files it just shows it as greyed out

[stable quartz]

Might be the WAV file because I used my video editor to export it as a WAV file but it did the same thing but I took the same file ran it through Audacity and it worked

[grand escarp]

Oh okay bet

I’ll try it out

Still nothing

Exported it as a wav and reimported it and still greyed out

[gaunt summit]

one of the most important tools for the game still off... and not even a "good explanation given"

[loud hawk]

Some people were able to find a window. But the issue has definitely persisted longer than 2/7.

I don't know what rock you're pretending to be under (Probably the same one the people who think the holocaust isn't real) But going off the window some 100mb mod found at 1am on a thursday isn't reflective of how long this issue has been persisting.

[tranquil pilot]

LOL are you actually relating the arma reforger workshop being down to the holocaust jesus christ

you're the one trying to correct people with false information. it's very easy to see that publishing stopped working sometime between the 6th-7th https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop?sort=newest and look at updates of the most popular mods. the entire first page (and then some) are new mods that were created that day, excluding existing mods being updated

ddoses were happening earlier yes but they did not take down workshop publishing like its down now. workshop publishing is down now as a result of ddoses being mitigated. not the other way around. this is also clear from bohemias official announcement

[reef plinth]

Has anyone created a mod that limits platoon radio to Squad leaders only?

[pure kraken]

The amount of mods about to drop when uploading works again..

Yeah but when hundreds of users read those very logical and sane theories they tend to start spreading them

[tropic zodiac]

If you don't give them theories to spread, they will come up with their own, which may be much worse. 😅

[unreal ginkgo]

Yeah at least in my crazy theory, Bohemia are the good guys and they have the workshop down for good reason (I do think they are the good guys). I’ve read some real crazy stuff in here lol. All as baseless as my silly theory

[tropic zodiac]

Yes they are.
They wouldn't do this for no reason, i'm pretty sure as well.

[unreal ginkgo]

You are right about how rumors spreads like wildfire in this community. The next guy won’t hedge nearly as much as I do

[unreal ginkgo]

Yeah i doubt they feel great about critical part of their service down lol. I’m just glad the workbench is still up so we can at least work on stuff

[tropic zodiac]

There must be something going on, would be kinda "naive", to just go back to business as usual, hoping there will never ever be another DDoS ever again.
Exactly working workbench is everything i'm asking for. 😎

try wiki

[soft perch]

this is what i was reading-

its definitely a skill issue- somewhere im misreading something or doing something wrong

everything is in the game. easy part. The uniforms and vests are just not animating with the player ;-;

[tight dune]

you wrote bohemia forum but ok. Have you seen this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUNN_KeyjkQ&t=1632s ?

you could also try to write down what have you done so far and share some pics

skill issue or not, you can always ask here for assistance but you also need to put some effort to describe what you have done

[soft perch]

RAH i figured it out

in blender- for some fucking reason- each vertex i assigned to the spine or stomach etc had an extra letter idk if i mistyped or if my blender bugged or what.

So basically my vertexes were stomachh, spinee, etc

stupid mistake

im testing it now in blender in the pose mode, the mesh is animating with the body 😄

Good morning, would someone be so kind as to tell me how I can add civilians to a mission?

[tropic zodiac]

You have to use the "Group_Base.et" and add the civilian characters to it manually.
They are in "Prefabs/Characters/Factions/CIV" or something like this.
Also you have to write CIV in the faction of the "Group_Base.et".
That's pretty much it.

[devout cliff]

They are already working, thank you very much! It would be too much to ask how to put enemy vehicles in? How can I put the AI ​​inside so they can drive?

[tropic zodiac]

Alright.
Guess the easiest way is by giving them a "Get In" waypoint.
This is another way but it's more about waypoints: #enfusion_ai message

[devout cliff]

thanks, i go try

[tropic zodiac]

The waypoint should work in any case.
Just place it somewhere near or on top of the vehicle.

[devout cliff]

They get into the vehicle but it doesn't move.

[tropic zodiac]

You used a move waypoint for the wayveh right?
Maybe you have to use a get in waypoint first and after it the move waypoint?

Did they just teleport into the vehicle?

[devout cliff]

When assigning the vehicle to the group, it enters it, but does not move

[tropic zodiac]

Yeah i'm not on PC rn and i can't tell from the top of my head...
I will try a little later and let you know, if you not already figured it out by yourself. 🙂

While we don't have an estimate at the moment, please know our team is working hard to fix this as soon as possible. Thank

^ look at that date…

[gaunt summit]

don't tell me

[peak cedar]

I think that is when they realized there was a problem, not when it actually started.

[nova remnant]

Workshop issues started around the same time as the ddos. After that it was back for a short while and then perma offline 😄

[gaunt summit]

for a "small" company to solve this should be very easy

apparently not

[burnt sentinel]

“Working hard to fix this as soon possible”

[winged agate]

guys i have some issue with Faction Selection, some times when i do some other changes on manager and i hit the play button to test them, at the deployment setup i select the faction i want but nothing happens. No squads. is there any way to fix that ?

plus the faction become "Kompas - 2"

[leaden shuttle]

I'm facing an issue that i have not seen before, when creating a spline and using the powerline generator, it generate duplicates automatically

does anyone know which setting I messed up ?

[ashen nimbus]

Might be another dumb question of mine, but given that the backend is down: How can I test a newly created mod ingame? I've only altered a script, so no world to test it in the Workbench directly. I did try to publish (which obviously fails, as pushing to backend not possible) and copied over the folder from the publish folder into the actual addons folder, but it doesn't show up ingame.

[winged agate]

what i do is
step 1) copy all items from workbench/addon/name folder (only what have inside)
step 2) navigate to the same mod i make on the armareforger/addon folder and find my mod
step 3) delete ALL item inside EXCEPT the "meta" file and copy all my items there

[ashen nimbus]

Thanks, but what to do if I never pushed that mod to the workshop before? It didn't create an ID for it and I also don't have the meta file

Inside addons I have these files:

And in publish those:

[winged agate]

im not sure if you can use meta file from other mod just to run yours, never try it :/

[leaden shuttle]

Anyone has any ideas ?

[ashen nimbus]

Thanks, so I tried to copy the meta file from another mod and altered it to have my mod info and point to the specific files from my mod. I can select the mod in-game with this, but it errors out on gamemaster boot with failed to load addon.

So no testing until the backend is back?

[winged agate]

there is another way i found in a video tutorial before but i can't remember the video. you can add specific folder from steam parameters

[pallid scarab]

What am i doing thats causing entire squares to change color when painting other textures in? Like here I painted in that asphalt but the entire square of grass became brighter.

[leaden shuttle]

heatmap ?

[pallid scarab]

I started with a google maps sat image as my sat map and used it as a reference for placing stuff, but then i saw that it painted all the grass etc.. whatever color is under it. So when i was done I made a full green png

[sharp wyvern]

Another day, another issue. I placed some objects, and they stay in place until I switch to game mode. After switching to game mode, they disappear into the ground. When I switch back to mapping, I need to move them slightly, and they snap back to their original position before I switched to game mode.

What could be causing this issue?

[dusky drift]

can you open the xob and deploy collider tab on the right and post a screenshot, then another one of the prefab entity opened and rigidbody component selected ?

[sharp wyvern]

I think I found the issue. I placed objects in a layer above the terrain layer. After moving them to a layer below the terrain, they no longer disappear. Red - disappearing object folder. Green - terrain folder.

[midnight comet]

Is the initialization error fixable when open back up a project?

[full jacinth]

Can you open more resource browsers at the same time?

[storm gyro]

I believe if you use the window drop down on the main window, there's a resource browser 1 and a resource browser 2

[calm estuary]

Hey I'm trying to publish but keep getting this code.

[gusty tartan]

Does nobody scroll up here

[simple hollow]

hey i just been moving my mod to different folders to upload! am i doing it right?

[peak cedar]

apparently the search function doesnt exist either hahah 😏

[whole stone]

The workshop is down, it’s not possible to push anything
(Has been for a bit now)
Goodnight

[open sky]

workshop being down is forcing me to make things better quality
born to make shit mods forced to make highish quality

[calm estuary]

Okay thank you i thought it was something I did. I appreciate your response. Have a good night as well

[calm estuary]

Sorry I'm super lost in discord

Tried the search but brought me to some other editor thing. Figured to just ask

[calm estuary]

Sorry

[lucid ocean]

dont be sorry for asking general questions

[storm gyro]

Mr nobody to himself: "you forget to scroll up ONE TIME and get a gang beating from half the server!"

[calm estuary]

Lol I'll use the scrolling to great effectiveness next time lol

[calm estuary]

Thank you

[leaden shuttle]

anyone has any idea why my Powerline generator is duplicating items when the prefab in a spline ?

[soft perch]

for these reasons i dont use satmaps anymore

or heightmaps

i do it all from scratch cuz i hate relying on the workbench to read the png files correctly and scale it correctly which it sometimes does not do

[pallid scarab]

but why is it still doing it with a completely green png base?

[soft perch]

probably because the scale is not correct

depending on how big your terrain is, if you made it too big its going to stretch the png to fill the whole terrain

i would assume

u used to be able to use skybox... and grab the exact dimensions of your terrain on a real satmap but its paid now.

not a free site anymore.

[pallid scarab]

its a 1x1km lol

[soft perch]

well then my theory is probably wrong cuz 1x1 is nothing

unless the png u have is that small

biggest thing u have to do in enfusion is troubleshoot. grab some other satmaps and see how they look.

narrow down the issue.

[pallid scarab]

that

oops. that's what i'm saying, i swapped it out and it didn't change anything.

[soft perch]

or just remove it and manually paint the ground texture like i do.

[pallid scarab]

that's when it's occurring. it's fine until I paint it by hand

[soft perch]

okay so then what does that tell you to look for issues

if it happens after u paint

[pallid scarab]

thats why im here lol.. because i feel like i'm doing something wrong or missing something

[soft perch]

at the risk of sounding rude, which i am not i promise, you need to pay attention-

if your painting it and then it looks all shitty it means its probably the emat your painting with. try a different one, compare.

if its still broke i recommend just watching a video.

[pallid scarab]

it's not that it looks shitty, it's changing the shade of the entire square if I manually paint anywhere in that square

[soft perch]

the shade?

as in when u paint the square ur paint goes black on your map or just looks like its shaded from the sun?

[pallid scarab]

i painted the asphalt, and it changed the rest of the square to no longer match the neighboring

[soft perch]

the fuck

uh idk man never seen that

sorry-

[pallid scarab]

yeah it was hard to explain haha

[soft perch]

best advice i can give you is to Ctrl+Z until before that happened so its back to normal

and do things one by one to see when it happens

then just... dont do that thing

idk

[full jacinth]

Indees, found it

[ruby crystal]

guys ive been away 1 week and i try to upload and still get a bad request. is it my mod or is the shit still down xD

[burnt sentinel]

It’s been down for over two weeks

[plain tartan]

why does my sun look like this in the workbench? it looks fine in the editor but when doing the play test buttona and it spawns my character it screws up the sun.

[plain tartan]

and then after importing my sat map i restarted and now my workbench is forever stuck "creating entities."

[obtuse sphinx]

Maby wrong pp effects

[storm gyro]

Am I the only one that get the urge to ask if it's up several times a day just to annoy everyone?

[plain tartan]

hey is it up?

@storm gyro there you go asked for you

[storm gyro]

Lol yes

In my Palpatine voice "do it"

[simple hollow]

The only thing that’s is up is my will to ride a great white shark like a horse.

[scenic pasture]

So how do you export something from experimental to stable once that version of the game in experimental is released too stable?

Or does it happen automatically?

[ashen nimbus]

"Fixed: Error when uploading addon to workshop" So experimental is working again? This is from the experimental changelog from today

[short frigate]

publishing/updating addons for the experimental workshop works again yes

[smoky panther]

does it not uplaod to the default workshop ?

[robust merlin]

Has anyone have any issues on experimental dedicated server with newly uploaded addons?

[dire relic]

can't login with exp workbench, regular logins fine

[soft perch]

dare i ask

[burnt sentinel]

Seems like uploading mods will be available until 1.3 update since it’s available in the experimental branch which is running 1.3

[soft perch]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-annoyed-eyeing-cat-meme-cat-funny-gif-14867130448325066479

[burnt sentinel]

Don’t think so since according to a Mod the experimental branch is a different standalone game and there is no support for automatic transition between branches for mods.

[stable quartz]

maybe a little hotfix can be thrown on the stable version 🤞

[burnt sentinel]

One can hope, but seems 1.3 is still a good ways away it would be the logical thing to do but then again…

[kind swallow]

can anyone help me with this?

[smoky panther]

workshop is down

[kind swallow]

oh

ok

[smoky panther]

its been down for days

[kind swallow]

well

shits happen

ok then

i will try it later

[crude pewter]

More like weeks

[umbral leaf]

Imagine all these addons getting uploaded at once. Once the workshop is back up

[errant hare]

https://tenor.com/view/michael-jackson-comendo-picoca-gif-9669437860846841235

[peak cedar]

y'all might as well move to 1.3 and get your mods ready, what if 1.2 workshop never gets fixed? o.O

[balmy cradle]

I don't think it will ever work for 1.2, if they got it working in experimental before stable, it very obviously shows the priority is for 1.3

So, unironically, just make mods ready for 1.3 by using experimental tools, and support experimental development by playing on it if possible. The quicker bugs in it are fixed, theoretically the quicker it should release for stable.

[peak cedar]

...and if they wanna keep to their estimation, they've still got one more week to get 1.3 out in Feb.

[queen obsidian]

Hello everyone, I am currently creating a map on Arma Reforger Tools and I have imported my drawing onto the ground of my map. The problem is that, from a distance, you can see the outlines of the map but not the ground textures.

I've already tried to import an image that could correspond to the map I created but it doesn't work the screen freezes and I can't do anything

If you have a solution I take

[woven mortar]

you may have bigger chance to get the answer in the terrain channel

[uncut niche]

it's a little disapointing, that BI doesn't give any feedback on the workshop situation. By now i would have expected something, even it it ware a official "we are working on it and it might not get Fixed before April.". Anything official would be nice besides the well educated guesses we have here all day 😄

[crisp fable]

It’s how they’ve been ever since arma 2

[uncut niche]

good to know, i only joined modding Arma with reforger

[woven mortar]

I think you may need to switch to experimental branch now. or wait for 1.3 in stable branch

[uncut niche]

since i belive that they would never lie nor forget to give us an update on the release of 1.3, it will come within next week. i'v got time to wait till then. spezialy since i need the workshop to publsish updates for our Communityservers, and i somehow don't expect all those players to switch to experimental 😄

[queen obsidian]

Ok Thanks

[storm gyro]

Yeah, I still get the urge, cuz I know it it'll bug people
What about you will to spoon a grizzly right before winter?

[reef plinth]

Is there no way to restrict the GM module? we need the admin module for our admins but it is tied to GM and it just does not seem tenable to give every admin full GM permissions?

[bitter portal]

When pushing my stuff to workshop, if I select test... that only makes "that version" a test version right? Then if people were grabbing the latest version - it wouldn't grab this "test" build... corrreecccttt?

[peak cedar]

no, they are the same thing right now

[reef plinth]

I know there is a Bacon mod that disables GM build limit. Is there a way to then Disable GM placing anything at all?

Module starts at limit?

[peak cedar]

probably if you mod it. dont think anything like that exists yet

[remote estuary]

I am not sure. My mod simply raises the budgets to unhealthy values, so a little fake.

[umbral karma]

break the editable prefabs system entirely 🧯

[real matrix]

Server admin tools allow you to choose to give player Admin or GM or both

[empty portal]

how do i actually select a category?

when i click the dropdown nothing drops down

[balmy cradle]

Is this on 1.2? Or experimental?

If on 1.2, uploading won’t work anyways, so no point

[empty portal]

1.2

[empty portal]

why?

[balmy cradle]

Workshop has been blocking uploads for close to 3 weeks now for stable Reforger. Unknown reason, but will likely be fixed on 1.3 stable release

[empty portal]

ah

a shame

[ancient flower]

For the future its the box thats says category. You click it and choose the box(s) relative to your mod.

[reef plinth]

How?

When you add a player into the Admin list they are automatically given admin and GM when they join

[shadow bolt]

Hey how do i upload a map to the workbench?

[brazen plaza]

anybody have little time to show me how make a custom trigger. been watching endless vids and it hast clicked yet...

[frank terrace]

Hello - why is my project stuck in read-only mode? any way to revert this?

[tropic zodiac]

Maybe you have the same "packed" project somewhere in the same folder?

[tropic zodiac]

There is the field "Category" right above the warning in your screenshot.
Simply click on it and select whatever you like.

[empty portal]

yeah when i click it nothing pops up

[tropic zodiac]

Oh you even wrote.
Well it should.
Maybe try whenever they fixed the upload bug.

[frozen pine]

If it’s possible could we add a feature to pick flowers my wife would like that

[frank terrace]

I dont see anything like that... would it be .pak files?

[tropic zodiac]

Yes i think so.

Well at least this was the case for me once.

[frank terrace]

did not work 😦

[real matrix]

There is a way to do it in game in your server I have noone in my server to show as an example though

maybe here?

[reef plinth]

Remove GM doesnt work

[soft perch]

it says there to DM any issues to ceo_of_bacon, where would the bacon man be

[dark chasm]

Im getting same issue, any resolution yet? or any way to just test out if this code is working in a single player scenario? dont want it pushed but I need to test stuff out in game

I'm working on a simplified healing system for Arma Reforger. From what I can tell, the code runs without errors, and I've added the necessary components to my duplicated prefabs, which will serve as a basic medic kit. I'm wondering if the only way to test if it works is by downloading it from the Workshop and launching the game, or if there's another method I might not be aware of.

[balmy cradle]

Workshop is not accepting uploads currently for Stable, Experimental is accepting uploads however

But if testing for single player, just testing in world editor should suffice, no?

[dark chasm]

I'd be happy to do that, but is there an easy tutorial on how to set it up? I expected it to be simple, but when I tried testing in the world editor, I ran into a lot of errors and had a hard time just figuring out what to drop in to even be able to run around the world.

[balmy cradle]

If it's just on a prefab you have as a med kit, drop it into the MpTest.ent world in a sub-scene of it, and just press play to launch into the game and test it

MpTest will have spawn points setup, so just setup the subscene of it and place the med kit close by, then press play

[dark chasm]

ahh okay thanks heaps for this! actually going to save me so much time.

Just curious, why isn’t the Workshop allowing uploads right now? And do you know when it’ll be back up?

[balmy cradle]

No one is sure why, and no one knows for sure when it'll be back up for stable. The guess is currently not till 1.3 releases on stable

[dark chasm]

okay cool, again thankyou!!

[tropic zodiac]

Why the FactionManager in the worlds hierachy always change it's name to 64A415F2D0B12ECD?
Is this normal?

[remote estuary]

You said it allows to give player admin, but there is no "give admin" in your screenshot.

[remote estuary]

You cannot remove GM from an admin.

[grave widget]

Still no Workshop upload! are there any alternatives to test it publicly with friends?

i heard i can localy store them in the add-ons folder same as for any friend and server
but i couldn't get the mod recognized.
Details: it has never been published before

[plain tartan]

you guys got any tips for painting grass and whatnot near roads that doesnt feel like it takes FOREVER on a large map?

[shut remnant]

Is publishing to workshop still down?

[grave widget]

jup

at least for me

[plain tartan]

are you able to paint terrain with polylines or anything?

[scenic pasture]

Which workshop? Experimental or Stable

[odd ore]

In the watch wiindddow of the editor how do i see the full variable?

[grave widget]

stable

[scenic pasture]

You were able to update to stable?

[grave widget]

no

[scenic pasture]

Ah

[grave widget]

i wish i was

[grave widget]

i am serching for an solution to test on a public (self hosted) server with friends who will get the mod by me

i have a server but i cant even get my mod recognized localy (probably becuase it have never been published and there for no id)

[odd ore]

anyone?

[peak cedar]

Experimental workshop is working fine!

[slate kraken]

Can someone tell me if I use the experimental workshop, will I be able to upload the mods to the stable version? Or will that cause conflicts?

I know the answer might be obvious, but I have my doubts.

[grave widget]

but RHS isn't and its an dependant mod

[ancient flower]

It might depend on what your doing but id say yes

[real matrix]

Thank you for correcting I just thought I remembered being able to remove GM from Admin I stand corrected

[peak cedar]

Well then that's on rhs devs 🤷‍♂️

That's why I can't stand dependencies, nothing you can do about that.

[woven mortar]

I think there is a RHS experimental branch. you can find it in the workshop.

[peak cedar]

I assumed he meant they haven't updated exp version yet

[scenic pasture]

Has anyone had issues getting uniforms in their arsenals with Experimental?

Like custom ones. I’ve done the process over and over a couple few times with no luck. Crazy cause I had no issues prior to this

[grave widget]

its not working. it says its broken a long time ago

[grave widget]

since i am making combat ops for modern factions, there is no way around

but its the only mod its dependent on

[hollow badger]

Workshop publishing is more than likely not going to work on stable till 1.3 drops

[peak cedar]

You could make your own modern factions. Just saying, there is indeed a way around it. If they choose not to update or do away with the mod, you're screwed! (I'm sure they will, just giving an example)

[grave widget]

i can always remove the mod and switch the entity's to entity's of a vanilla faction
but yeah

i actually just want to play it with friends

[simple hollow]

so the drop is monday right?

[hollow badger]

I have no idea but probably not. They tend to push patches on Thursdays.

[simple hollow]

just like tarkov great

[atomic heart]

Is there any way to disable Vote kicking on a server that is run by the community but its Vanilla ver (bc of PS5 players cannt use mod)

something like adding stuff in JSON?

[fluid phoenix]

How can I package a mod like uploading it to the workshop but just doing so locally?

[glossy relic]

it packages it in your documents folder

[rancid schooner]

Sadly no, as its not a part of the scr.missionheader. 😦

[devout cliff]

Hello, why do the AI ​​I put inside buildings stay stuck in the ground?

[devout cliff]

fix

[fluid phoenix]

So I believe I had found what you were talking about but the file is missing a lot such as meta, server info, and all what is needed to actually access it in game. I'm assuming you were talking about documents\MyGames\ArmaReforgerWorkbench\Publish

[fluid phoenix]

I just was informed in another discord that without the workshop we can't test anything in game and only through the workbench. Would be really nice if we didn't have to upload it to the workshop for in game testing

[remote estuary]

You dont, you can use peertool to simulate multiplayer, and/or host servers without backend

Plenty of ways to test

[wet coral]

Plugins - peer tool you’ll need to do some setup work then when running world editor select peer tool

Also take it this is confirmation no uploading till 1.3

[austere tulip]

Where is this located?

[wet coral]

1.3 experimental changelog from 2 days ago

[austere tulip]

Ah nice

[leaden shuttle]

When is that expected to be released to stable ?

[frozen pine]

Is workshop down?

[hearty gust]

guys i got this error while publishing my scenario Uploading failed! Reason: "data.asset should have required property 'summary'"

someone know what that is?

[plain veldt]

Hi guys im setting up the reforger plugin for blender, but im having some issues, can someone help me out 5minutes maybe in chat to understand what am i missing while trying to export? thanks in advance

[soft perch]

did 2 people just ask if uploading is down when there is a pic of a changelog right before their message saying “fixed workshop upload error”

READ MOTHAFLECKA

https://tenor.com/view/read-gif-25879491

[simple hollow]

I feel people cant read with how much its been talked about

[slender needle]

Why is it impossible for me to publish on the Workshop? Does anyone else have this problem?
I get this error:

[peak cedar]

It would be nice if they would tell us if they even plan on fixing stable branch workshop before 1.3 goes to stable.

[shadow bolt]

hey it wont let me move my camera beyond a certain point, how do i fix that?? im on the terrain editor

[brazen plaza]

On arland map how can I move/delete items that are on the map under the locked default? I want to delete a wall and a few gates for a specific driving area.

Or does hiding in the default layer actually hide it?

[simple hollow]

should prob scroll up

[balmy spindle]

if someone can help me with an issue i have, workbench isnt showing my stuff inside my folders

[viral flicker]

Ive assembled a metadata file for my mod and attempted to copy the mod ive been working on directly to my server, im getting an error that my mods not listed on workshop and the server does not start.

I saw someone else in here getting their (unable to be published) mod to their server, but im not sure if they were successful.

Does this just not work, or could it be an issue with my metadata?

[wind swallow]

how do i add mods to the workbench ?

[simple hollow]

right clock add addons

[wind swallow]

i cant find it :3

[simple hollow]

before you open it on the projects page

[ornate stratus]

if you are referring to arma tools its add existing project

[light blaze]

Is there somewhere specific to set localhost server config for workbench "localhost server + peer tool" run option? It doesn't seem to pick up the config.json I set in peer tool or dedicated server tool settings

[brazen plaza]

Hi any help with this error? I cant get into content area to test anything, when clicking play or f5.

EDIT: I deleted and re-added the game mode module. So it was something I probably unchecked by accident.

[whole stone]

I have the same issue, i just hit "ignore all" and move on

unless you're using that class, it won't have any effect on your testing, it's the VMs failling.

[scenic pasture]

I think they did say. Pretty sure I saw bob say in order for stable to be fixed it has to be updated. So when 1.3 moves to stable it will be fixed.

[tranquil pilot]

theyre aiming for a 1.2 hotfix this week #enfusion_generic message

if you looke in the generic chat they said hotfix next week.

[wicked cliff]

did you ever get help because im having the same issue.

[peak cedar]

You should scroll up and read a bit and your question will be answered.

[simple hollow]

you should scroll each chat becuases its been discussed for the last three weeks

[wicked cliff]

Was not aware oof that. like i said said im new. sorry for the inconvenience

[marsh nest]

Not that big of a deal. I try to use search (top right) to find related discussions. Usually easier than scrolling up. Example search "EBREQ_WORKSHOP_UploadAssetFile" and yours is the first one since it was the newest, followed closely by others.

[wicked cliff]

oh shoot ok, i honestly didn't know that. that's awesome. makes life easy. i honestly appreciate the help on that. i wish everyone did that. Thank you very much

[brazen plaza]

lol ok thanks. No i'm not using it, which is why it was throwing me off.

[plain cargo]

Somewhat random, how do modding teams handle collaboration? Is Git the way? Maybe a service account for publishing?

[slender needle]

I'm trying to go through experimental but I'm still having this problem - any ideas?

https://prnt.sc/Q_A7yt_CflLu

[brazen plaza]

What's the difference between prefabs and editable prefabs, in the case of adding one or the other in a scenario framework?

[tranquil pilot]

git. shared account or have someone own the mod and invite others as collaborators on workshop. or one person publishes from master. depends on the team

[plain cargo]

Does collaborators allow others to publish too?

[tranquil pilot]

yeah if publisher adds their email to the list they'll be able to accept invite in workshop

[plain cargo]

Excellent

I haven't seen one, but I assume there's no publicly facing workshop API

[jovial onyx]

Anyone having issues uploading mods from enfusion?

[mental oasis]

anyone know why I my changes only work in the workbench and not the game

yes I have uploaded mod
yes I haved updated my mod with the new changes
yes I enabled the mod in game

[mental oasis]

ah just realized that the main menu runs off a sever, would be nice to see an option to not have to connect to a backend sever.

[dark chasm]

Hey, I'm working on a simplified medical system where I’m replacing bandages with a medic kit that heals any wound. So far, I’ve successfully swapped out the bandages, and everything is functionally working. I was just wondering if anyone could point me to where I can update the UI elements to change the name from "Bandage" to something else, along with its description.

[sick sierra]

It should be one of the components in the prefab. Iirc it should be inventory something

[dark chasm]

Yeah I did see this and thought this was referencing some kind of script but I just changed it and saw that its actually working in game. Sorry for the dumb question. Cheers!

for anyone else who might come across the same issue

[brazen plaza]

Possible to have GM faction based and then limit gm items and or movement?

[whole stone]

Git has always been the way for collaborating.

Separate the work in branches and merge it all in main once it’s done and tested

[wheat pumice]

I don't know all the differences but I think editable prefabs are supposed to be able to be edited by GM in game whereas prefabs can't and are handled on the world level in world editor

[umbral karma]

Have a look at the strings editor so you can localize the item name and description into other languages.

dare i ask

[nocturne edge]

Do we know when we're going to be able to republish our mods

[burnt sentinel]

They are aiming for some time this week but won’t know till they release the hot fix.

[nocturne edge]

I just need 5min to publish because arma has deleted one of my mods and it's 3 week my server is therefore because I can not republish my mods or remove my addiction and make a maj soes what you are around when this week

[mental oasis]

anyone know how to edit the main menu and have the changes show up in game?

[remote estuary]

Not possible, mods load when you are loading into the world

[mental oasis]

im at a loss for words lol

[nocturne edge]

Pas possible, les mods se chargent quand vous chargez dans le monde

[mental oasis]

there gotta be a work around right?

[peak cedar]

I think you mean next week 😉

[burnt sentinel]

The info provided has been kind of vague and unclear. There was a response from one of the Devs yesterday (Sunday) it said next week which could be this week technically since the week had not ended or maybe in two weeks. So we’ll see, only one way to find out

[leaden shuttle]

I had a dream where I was able to publish a mod.. I felt nostalgic of the good old time !

[cloud zenith]

Totally possible, just not for console users.

[brazen plaza]

hello, have you found why you had this issue?

possible to tell workbench to number entities by a two digit number? eg workbench assigns 1-9, then goes to 10. I would prefer it start with 01-09, then go to 10.

must.have.order.

Hello, I'm following this wiki page; but the problem is when I need to change any options like Weapon Melee Damage... Enfusion dont let me change anything. Any tips?

Even with older projects where I follow the same steps and now I cant change nothing

[pallid copper]

override the prefab you wish to use and change config

[knotty ridge]

nope, doesnt work 😦

even with duplicate or inherit doesnt let me change nothing

[pallid copper]

not sure how it doesn't work as its pretty much the first step to modding

[knotty ridge]

I dont know too... Before PS5 update I was working in another gun and then Enfusion let me change the prefab properties. Now I cant :/

And now I cant change nothing from that gun

older or new I cant

Maybe reinstalling can halp :v

reinstal did not helped 😦

[vocal girder]

any update on the update drop? to fix tools?

[pallid copper]

i assume you have created your own project

[knotty ridge]

yes

[tight dune]

can you record video?

[knotty ridge]

sure

[pallid copper]

seems a little odd

[knotty ridge]

Here is

pardon me for my bad english 👉👈

[tight dune]

drag the line from right to left

or make the object properties wider first

some keywords for myself if I would ever need search for it next time: object properties width parameters

[knotty ridge]

HAHAHAAHAHAHAHA

That was! 🤣

Thanks Reyhard!

[midnight crown]

What's the correct way to edit building prefabs for conflict? I duplicated the ammo storage prefab for one faction, then replaced it in the gamemode to use it, then used "break instance" on every single object in the prefab and it still does not save any changes.

Is this a bug?

[lusty linden]

guys any estimate when publish service is online ?

[simple hollow]

You are better asking what’s the meaning of life.

[lusty linden]

yayy

[lusty linden]

nop, experimental workshop not working

[sick sierra]

What error are you getting?

[lusty linden]

wait nvm, i have to install the experimental tools lol

god

[young barn]

Is that bullpup ak? ^^

[trim drum]

This is the best comment on the current situation. Thank you @torn kayak for the high-quality feedback from the community. 🤝

[knotty ridge]

yep!

planing to make a AR and MG types

[stoic dagger]

When will the upload in the workshop work again?

[muted ivy]

Looking for this status maybe? #reforger_workbench message

[verbal frost]

hello, guys, i get this error on exp:
19:43:44.434 BACKEND (E): [RestApi] ID:[12] TYPE:[EBREQ_WORKSHOP_UploadAssetFile] Error Code:401 - Unauthorized, apiCode="Unauthorized", uid="-redacted-", message="Unauthorized"

any idea what to do?

[muted ivy]

Backend of the main Workshop still appears to be down. Look up through recent messages. Looks like end of next week, we may see it return to life.

[verbal frost]

i get this one from experimental tools and separate experimental branch BI account

[muted ivy]

Oh gotcha. I installed Experimental Tools and saw my non-experimental project does not work with it... uninstalled. 😄

[simple hollow]

😂😂😂 my dependence’s arnt on there

[peak cedar]

Did you create new account for exp branch?

[verbal frost]

yes, i have already uploaded the mod early autumn, and cant update it now

[celest ice]

How do I test something intended for multiplayer?

i.e. how could I start a second player client

[nocturne edge]

I prefer to wait for the tools to just fix because it won't be much of a job to publish on the experimental sy my mods are in tools and according to what I saw in 1 week it will be repaired

[peak cedar]

LOL you will eventually have to fix your mod though. Better to do it in experimental than after it comes to stable. Unless you plan to abandon the mod, then you don't have to do anything!

[muted ivy]

I’ll do it with the fixed main Workbench. The mod did not seem to be the issue in my case. It was all Experimental environment set up .

[peak cedar]

I don't have any issues in exp workbench. After I updated my scripts for 1.3 comparability of course.

[muted ivy]

My mod’s been offline for weeks. What’s a few more days. Not sure if all dependencies are in experimental. 🤷🏻‍♂️

No one plays my mod, so it’s low priority. I use my mod for my server that’s been offline. I’m sure yours and other mods are more important.

[peak cedar]

ah yeah that makes sense, luckily i dont use dependencies that are not my own.

[simple hollow]

so has anyone had this. I add the supply icons on the map but i have 5 of them but only one shows.

[brazen plaza]

What's the best way to approach updating a mod for a new patch? I have one in 1.2, not finished. Can I open project and click update, or is it a 1by1 thing. Don't have any custom scripts.

[surreal stag]

the supply points that are near you are the only ones shown, look for m_iSupplyDepotIconThreshold inside SCR_GameModeCampaign

    [Attribute("1200", UIWidgets.EditBox, "The furthest an independent supply depot can be from the nearest base to still be visible in the map.", params: "0 inf 1", category: "Campaign")]
    protected int m_iSupplyDepotIconThreshold;

[peak cedar]

Make a backup and then load it into 1.3 workbench and see if it works! If not, check the error messages for clues on what may have changed.

[brazen plaza]

got it. Thank you.

[light blaze]

Any easy way to make an entity visible when unselected in world editor?
I have vehicle spawners based on GenericEntity but they are completely invisible unless I select or mouseover them so it can be hard to keep track of where I already placed them

[brazen plaza]

have you tried View > Permanent Entity visualizers

[light blaze]

Nah just tried toggling it on and it seemed to make no difference though. Do I need to restart workbench or something for it to take effect?

I get the editor/debug visualization for stuff that usually has it e.g. vanilla spawner or conflictmilitarybase prefabs fine. I guess I just wanna know what is needed on an entity for it to be visualised

I'm guessing I should be able to change class or add a component that will make it be visualized in editor

[brazen plaza]

hmm maybe a preview entity component. Otherwise I dont know.

[light blaze]

I can see by switching my GenericEntity to an SCR_PrefabSpawnPoint it renders a cylinder mesh in the editor which seems to come from this entity editor decorator:

[EntityEditorProps(style: "cylinder", category: "GameScripted/GameMode/PrefabsSpawn", description: "Prefab Spawn Point Entity", sizeMin: "-0.25 0 -0.25", color: "64 0 64 255")]

So I guess I'll have to just make a custom entity based on GenericEntity with a similar thing added and replace usages in my spawner prefabs if there isn't some generic utility thing I can use

[tranquil pilot]

there is SCR_Position which renders a small sphere, heading arrow, and can be configured to show text in the editor. I use that for spawn points myself

[brazen plaza]

Having issues with camera reseting to a place in the sky way out. Usually the camera is linked with where I am playing or working within the content window. I have the camera and camera saved place ticked.
Changed when I moved from Arland to Arland Empty and copied over Arland entities. Same SCR everything.
guess it's a camera or player controller issue?

alwasy same angle when I hit play f5

[fathom harness]

Can I change the default folder for new workshop projects?

[light blaze]

Ah yep sweet thanks for that, the flags set in SCR_Position constructor did cause it to break my spawners by using it directly but by instead copy-pasting just that _WB_AfterWorldUpdate override to my own spawner entity that inherits from GenericEntity I can now nicely see the orientation of them in the editor 😄

[ruby crystal]

will the upload for the normal branch work in this week? or does it take longer

[sick sierra]

[zenith crane]

Im new to "attempting" to mod. Im having issues attempting to test my build, Im starting small with a keybinded menu to edit current weather effects, its just a small GUI that modifies current weather effects, i.e. fog density. i created the mod in workbench from "Create new project" but i cant register( greyed out) the mod or load it in game. im chasing file locations buit im at a loss right now. ANy tips on geting the Register to be active

[slow sluice]

hey, does anybody know how to solve the issues like
RESOURCES (E): File '$ArmaReforger:Assets/Vehicles/Wheeled/M998/Data/HMMWV_Body.emat' is read-only?
all the custom textures do work, but are read only so i cant export the actual mod.

You can't export base game textures

Now Bohemia.

I'm beginning to get ANGRY 💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢

[pallid copper]

am i missing something here shouldn't this allow use of nvg regardless of the zoom level ie can use nvg when ADS

[cloud zenith]

emats aren't textures.

He did apparently figure out how to export textures though and has completely ignored my response in the textures channel. Let him upload them so he can get banned.

[slow sluice]

?

did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed?

also, i havent exported game textures 💀

why are you presuming random shit?, who are you?

[midnight crown]

Backend accidentally works in WB/peertool?

[broken robin]

yeah, just have to restart it 10 times, sometimes it kicks, sometimes it doesnt 🙂

[light blaze]

make sure you are using the diag.exe not the normal client

[robust merlin]

yep, I was using the diag one, but I was using multiple mod directories with multiple version of the same mod inside. After cleaning things up it started to work

[nocturne edge]

is now possible publish or not

[nocturne edge]

yo do you creat garage my zelik

[hollow badger]

can't publish new... but I was able to update existing...

How to create a mission on a mod map?

I’ve created a Battlefield 3-style Conquest & Hold (C&H) mission based on the Caspian Border map from the Arma Reforger mod. The mission works fine when opened in Workbench, but it fails to load in the Creative Workshop. It shows the error message: World_Load_Error.

Can anyone help me troubleshoot this issue?

[lusty linden]

besides the scripting, do I have to create or configure any file to work after publishing ?

because the script is working on World Editor, but not when i publish it

[crude pewter]

is the workshop down? my mod keeps failing still

try upload one more time then i will look at logs

[austere tulip]

Probably servers getting overloaded it’ll take a few days for this to mellow out people have been waiting to upload for weeks 🫡

Imagine early 2010-2014 Black Friday sales at Walmarts. It’s going to be like that as soon as the doors open.

[crude pewter]

yup worked second try

[balmy spindle]

So what you can only update already uploaded mods and not new or can you do both

[crude pewter]

Both. Dont see why you could not create an new mod

[brazen plaza]

Empty Arland has a camera base/manager that is up in the sky and cannot be moved(?). Regular arland map is fine. Any guesses? This means the 'save camera position' when working on the mod, resets to this spot in the sky no matter where you are on map.

[steel haven]

how does one make his own files not read only? The update seems to have locked me out of my own mods

[carmine geyser]

Do not use the Empty one
