enfusion_gui

[winged vessel]

yes there is

I believe you can write to ImageWidget

with x,y,color

or if not theres another widget which does it

[worldly sphinx]

ah true, so your imageset could basically have a cube in it

I mean a square, not sure why I was thinking about UI in 3d space

[winged vessel]

I wouldnt do it pixel by pixel that way

just blit out pixels like you would on a javascript canvas

depends what you want to do

just saying if you can design your system in a way that uses widgets instead of drawing pixel by pixel, its going to be better any day

because the engine is optimized for rendering it, and that code is compiled C

[worldly sphinx]

just have an imageset with your whole color palette

[winged vessel]

but if you wanted to make say a graph widget that draws pixel by pixel and its mostly basic stuff like boxes and lines... that would be fine in script

you wouldnt need a palette, you can just use a white widget and recolor that to any color

[worldly sphinx]

well a bar graph would just be one image per line, since it could just be a fat rectangle

[winged vessel]

yes thats right

[sage current]

so still need to find the function to set pixel color on canvas

[winged vessel]

a column/bar graph would be better done in widgets

I can have a look when im in the workbench next

[dusty yarrow]

Hi @worldly sphinxI saw that you had managed to integrate this style, converting the text directly into games, do you have an example of how you did this script and gui? Do you think it can be updated in-game, change the display #enfusion_gui message

[winged vessel]

gonna play JA3 now

[worldly sphinx]

in ris laser attachments there is a rangefinder that displays range and zeroing on a tiny lcd display if you want to have a look at it

you can use the same method to draw anything on objects, from things like PC monitors to car number plates

[winged vessel]

things that dont need to update (like car number plates) should be cached hopefully into a texture

so its not drawing pixel by pixel on every frame

but I did want to look into that, like allowing people to make custom signs

I believe its possible to render a UI on to a world object

[worldly sphinx]

yes, pip optics do this, you can skip the camera and just use the layout

and yes don't do it every frame 💀

I do re-renders every 2 seconds or so for the rangefinder since it needs to update the ranges and make beeping noises if you are ranging correctly

[winged vessel]

neat

[dusty yarrow]

to make a slideshow of images on a screen (which I already have in prefab), what type of render would be best, to display each image in succession?

[winged vessel]

I would use the UI on world object option like bacon was talking about that PIP optics use

and just update the image every x seconds

either a single imagewidget and you update the image

or multiple imagewidgets that you hide/show

either would probably be fine

[dusty yarrow]

Ok i see thx for info, I've also created magnetic cards for locked doors that work great now I'm trying to integrate the little messages like error or valid card on the display, I think the range finder system is a good option.

[worldly sphinx]

yes, it'll work

[dusty yarrow]

You made a much better system than I did 😂 perfectly what I'm trying to do

[worldly sphinx]

is that a meat grinder of some sort?

[dusty yarrow]

I don't know what you're talking about 🤐🤣

[worldly sphinx]

it grinds the keycard, single use keycards

[median tulip]

I think it's a juicer

You get to have a nice little sip of keycard

[worldly sphinx]

ahhhh alright

[dusty yarrow]

Ahhh yes i Will fix this right now 😂

[proven radish]

Is that on the HMS adwell or whatever it’s called

[dusty yarrow]

hms adelaide but it's just taken at random ^^

[burnt crag]

anyone know how to force update the respawn menu (or loadouts available) on clients in exp branch?

[worldly sphinx]

kick the player so they rejoin

[burnt crag]

lol I might actually end up dropping this mod anyways, turning into a pain to fix for 0.9.9 I do appreciate all the Obsolete markers in the code directing where to look for some things, but I dont even know why its compiling and not working now.

[half solstice]

I haven't been able to find a way to manually update menus via script at all.

[worldly sphinx]

does new radial menu stuff have documentation?

[hollow heath]

not that i found

[half solstice]

        WorkspaceWidget workspace = GetGame().GetWorkspace();
        ResourceName m_ItemPreviewLayout = "{F28D4D80C8885E1D}UI/Layouts/Widgets/Context/ZSF_Context.layout";
        Widget wid = workspace.CreateWidgets(m_ItemPreviewLayout);
        int mouseX, mouseY;
        WidgetManager.GetMousePos(mouseX, mouseY);
        FrameSlot.SetPos(wid,mouseX, mouseY);

Any idea why then doesn't work correctly? am i missing something?

[worldly sphinx]

any plans for docs for radial menus?

[regal lion]

I was thinking the same thing.
Be great to have a look at channel select - for the radio's.

[stuck mesa]

Is something wrong with the AvailableActions tooltip (liek press R to reload, that shows up on the bottom left)?

{80CC0413DDBDFCB9}Configs/ControlHints/AvailableActions.conf

I used to have a config that would offset the Z value of the Available Actions HUD, but now it doesn't work anymore

Stuff like this

[dusty yarrow]

any idea why I can't write in my "EditBoxWidget" in my layout knowing that I've copied the one in the search menu?

[worldly sphinx]

maybe you need to focus/select it first?

[dusty yarrow]

Meaning? If you mean select it with the mouse, yes, I've already tested it, but it doesn't work.

[worldly sphinx]

hum I had the same issue and just turned out I didnt activate it

[dusty yarrow]

I'm going to move on to something else until I have a solution

[worn marten]

You can send me you project if you want. I'll try to see if there is something wrong

[stuck mesa]

Possible issues:

• order of the widget or other layouts
• the widget is not active
• the widget is not focused

try

GetGame().GetWorkspace().SetFocusedWidget

[dusty yarrow]

hmm i have try but nothing

[stuck mesa]

What about the componenets on the widget?

[stuck mesa]

Hmm, not sure in that case.
Mine is technically the same but works

You could try SetFocusedWidget specifically for the editbox widget

I did have issues with editbox as well, those are the main oens I had

[dusty yarrow]

not works

[dusty yarrow]

Ok, it's fixed but I don't know how

[lime pumice]

How do you edit the HUD? I’m trying to add the FIA faction to the HUD for CAH so that all 3 teams have their score displayed but I’m pretty unfamiliar with editing a HUD. I found the icons and everything and the HUD display for the game mode but I’m not sure how to add and move stuff around.

[stuck mesa]

You can create override for vanilla layouts in the tools

Once you have an override, most things you change will overwrite the vanilla hud.

Mostly just try to look around the layout file + try to locate the script file for that layout

I don't have CAH, but in conflict HUD, there's a widget named FlagSideBlue
Then I look up that in the script editor Ctrl+shift+F

Easiest way to learn is to inspect vanilla code

[lime pumice]

I appreciate the tips, I’ve been looking at the vanilla stuff and getting familiar.

[shy vapor]

Can enfusion import ttf fonts?

[swift cosmos]

yes

[shy vapor]

Do we need any particular encoding?

[swift cosmos]

nop

Drag&drop it into workbench and you'll see

[lilac vessel]

100% ?

Our internal ttf being failed to import and register

[swift cosmos]

Last time I tried I had a bunch of crashes and had to try several times, but in the end it worked

[lilac vessel]

https://tenor.com/view/suicide-jump-pink-pantern-gif-14045004

Uhh, idk if thats only for me but really i cannot import TTF fonts

[half solstice]

@lilac vessel Have you tried adding to your mod directory then loading workbench?

[lilac vessel]

Nope, on it

[lilac vessel]

https://tenor.com/view/motherfucker-mother-the-office-michael-scott-happy-gif-16479777

It seems to work this way, thanks!

[dusty yarrow]

how do you convert a tff to fnt in enfusion? because the game only takes .fnt files into account.

[stuck mesa]

certainly loads ttf on my machine

perhaps you are using windows 11?

[mortal rose]

Very new at this stuff and hoping for another set of eyes? Been playing around with SCR_InfoDisplayExtended which has way more functionality than SCR_InfoDisplay to create a stamina HUD bar. It has a interface methods... so instead of overriding say OnStartDraw and then having to call super.OnStartDraw to get all the existing functionality, you override the interface DisplayStartDraw which gets called within OnStartDraw

Am I groking this right? So for my situation I don't need to check if !m_wRoot in my override because that is already run before the interface is called? And I don't need to super it in?

(Yes the code runs as expected just not sure if what I think is happening is actually happening)

override void DisplayStartDraw(IEntity owner)
    {
        m_wSubtleStaminaBar = ProgressBarWidget.Cast(m_wRoot.FindWidget("m_wSubtleStaminaBar")); 
        
        if (!m_wSubtleStaminaBar) 
            return;
        
        m_wSubtleStaminaBar.SetOpacity(0);
    }

[tiny steeple]

Guys, i need move notification layout messages to other position. I override notifications_message_base.layout but can't save changes. When i reload file i see only empty copy of first dragged thing in hierarchy. Drag, Copy and Create + drag in same problem. Maybe its bugged or its my fail?

little number changes working but the message wall looks totally different, nothing correct

i want use the deploy screen notification positions because my own hud colliding since last update.

[shy vapor]

Quick question. How does the UI Layout Preview work? Because no matter what I do or try to do, it never shows anything

[swift cosmos]

What type is your top layer widget? Can you send screenshot of the widget list on the right?

[swift cosmos]

RTTextureWidget's don't render

or.. they render empty

I also asked about that and it confused me and I don't understand why.
But that is intentional and by design, and that will stay like that.

As a workaround, you can move the contents of the texturewidget out into a separate layout. And then only have a tiny "RT texture wrapper" layout with the real layout linked inside it.

[shy vapor]

That's probably the worst design choice i've seen in a while then. I'll just move rendertarget content above the widget and put it back when i'm done with configuring it

[half solstice]

it's a render target, what camera is it supposed to render if there isn't one it can render from?

or is it not rendering the text as well?

[shy vapor]

well, inside layout editor it shouldn't matter. It's not even possible to see anything, but frames of widgets placed inside RTTextureWidget - not only in layout preview, but also when editing. It doesn't make any sense. Editor should display the layout ignoring the rendertarget

[half solstice]

oh i see

it doesn't render any of its child widgets?

@shy vapor is that the problem? ^^

[shy vapor]

yep. i can't even see a text widget inside the editor because of it, but it works when i move it out of the rttexturewidget

[half solstice]

Yeah, that is dumb, I originally misunderstood what you were complaining about.

in that case i would just convert it to an overlay or something while testing, then convert it back

[swift cosmos]

I'll just move rendertarget content above the widget
Be careful when selecting multiple widgets and moving them, that inverts their order

[worldly sphinx]

radial menu docs?

[neat sky]

Hi, I need a bit of help in order to add localized strings. I have been following this wiki page : https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Mod_Localisation

It seems very clear to me, however I can't get the stringtable to be built : console outputs an error, as following :

GUI (E): LocalizationEditor: Can't build runtime string table, 'Language/CustomActions.st' is not configured in game project!

this seems to refer to the doc segment showing how to add the stringtable to the current project, which I did without encountering any problem

unless the stringtable have to be configured for every "Configuration" dropdown list option ? By default it is "Healess", but "PC" and other platform are also available

the wiki does not mention this dropdown list

Re-adding the stringtable for "PC" seems to allow the table to be built. Do I need to re-add it for all other platforms ? I'm unsure of why this is as it is, since localized strings are probably the same on every platform ?

it looks like all platforms inherits from PC, right ?

[blazing bramble]

hey! I'm using SCR_ModularButtonComponent to render a dynamic list of buttons. There's an effect I'd like to disable by calling SetEffectsEnabled(string tag, bool enable) but none of the effects on the modular button prefab have any tags. am I missing something? Only solution I can think of is to create a new modded layout and naming the effects

[worn marten]

Not sure i should make some test. I would do the following.
Option 1: Try searching by "Text".
Option 2: If you will add the ContentBrowser_ModularButtonText.layout into another layout you can add a tag there without modifying the original one (picture).

[blazing bramble]

Yeah this is what i ended up doing and worked as expected. Shame though having to create a new layout just cause there aren’t tags on the effects

Thanks for the help!

[burnt axle]

Has anyone tried making their own additional settings tab for the vanilla settings menu?

[half solstice]

@burnt axle I haven't but, ill look into it for you

[half solstice]

I went a completely different route but for anyone wondering there is an example in gameLib.c, i literally found it after i got a working example made lol

[worldly sphinx]

this settings tab will only be visible when you load into the game world

[worldly sphinx]

I made an override in a layout, duplicated and edited a button, saved, restarted workbench, all my edits went to an existing button and my duplicated one is missing

[worldly sphinx]

you guys have a tiktok icon in the icon set but not discord?

[worldly sphinx]

also what about image widget functionality that would do what css object-fit: cover does

just center it without stretching

within its bounds

[burnt axle]

Try the sizecontent widget

[worldly sphinx]

ok but how, I thought that's like for limiting size

[burnt axle]

Under the transform there are buttons for which side to align the widget to. Select the very last one and it will expand to cover as much as possible (depending on constraints from parent)

Then what its done for me is not stretch an image, but make it fill whatever it can

[worldly sphinx]

see cover here https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/object-fit

it would scale the image to fill as much as possible of the bounds, centered

[burnt axle]

Yes, I believe that the sizecontent widget will do that. Let me get an example once I boot my pc

I just used it a few days ago

[burnt axle]

keeps aspect ratio maintained for me and fills entire overlay

[worldly sphinx]

what are your image widget props?

[burnt axle]

Center for both

[worldly sphinx]

could you send me this .layout file?

[burnt axle]

Just left home but when I get back yes

[worldly sphinx]

I want it to fill in the parent and clip

[worldly sphinx]

nevermind got it working

thanks

[onyx flint]

Why is it only adding SCR_LoadingSpinner, where did the script selection go?

Nvm, if you have script errors at the start it only adds the SCR_LoadingSpinner after fixing them it shows all scripts again
But why does it only show that if you have errors?

[rough marsh]

Does anyone knows a good mod that has a single shot shotgun

[median tulip]

This is absolutely not the right channel for this

[worldly sphinx]

can we get a rich text widget tags and properties reference?

[rustic cypress]

how do i make the text here wrap? I have it enabled it in the text widget but cant really figure out what's up

[worldly sphinx]

try an explicit carriage return like \n

I think wrap may not like to break words, but will wrap on whitespace

you also may need to define a maximum width for it to wrap

otherwise the text widget is infinitely wide, like ben swolo in that one starwars movie

[rustic cypress]

thanks, where do i set up the maximum width? the SizeLayoutWidget doesent seem to care what setting i put there

[worldly sphinx]

up there above behavior

size layout widget has settings for minimum and maximum width that need to be explicitly checked

[rustic cypress]

dis how it looks

[worldly sphinx]

wat about dis

[rustic cypress]

still wont cause it to wrap

[worldly sphinx]

ok wat if you separate words with spaces

[rustic cypress]

didnt seem to do anything.

[worldly sphinx]

oh yea uncheck size to content

[rustic cypress]

already had done that. should i remove it only from size widget or from everything?

I see, i had to put the text widget as a direct child to a SizeLayout to get the effects on it. Fixed 👌

[thorny surge]

quick question: what component/setting controls the character slot that a custom clothing/gear item takes up?

[thorny surge]

[rustic cypress]

what you trying to do? there is a mod wich adds more slots to the character i would look into that. Most likely has all the info you need.

[shy vapor]

How does canvas widget work? Is there any documentation for it?

[half solstice]

Quite a few things work together for custom slots to work correctly.

[hoary phoenix]

Anyone know if if it's been done, or if you can implement, the same PIP magnification that scopes have into viewing ports or scopes on a vehicle?

[worldly sphinx]

possible, yes

[obtuse copper]

Hi, I'm trying to make a simple hud element to test things and made a new game mode and player controller (copied from existing) for that. Now i want my renamed copy of CampaignInfo to show up here but i dont know what sets up that list

[obtuse copper]

nvm it appears that restarting the editor made it show up

[stoic plover]

Is there a way where you can set the arsenal boxes to overlaod someones current equipped items? Let's say for example I have a bunch of players spawn with just shirt, pants, and boot; So that when they go towards the box, they're could be like a menu-selection(Kinda like the menu with vehicles where you can select the one where you want to respawn) but instead it overwrites items for the selected slots?

[worldly sphinx]

I have a tab view component, one of the tabs has a page with a input box, when I type in the input box and switch tab it keeps buttons disabled as if the input box still had focus

[worldly sphinx]

looks like my button enters a force disabled state that I can't revert from script?

seems like calling OnActiveWidgetInteraction can get the button to activate, nevermind!

[tribal wagon]

Hey!

Is there any info on how to add your own button to the pause menu? Similar to bacon's admin tools adding "server message" as an option when opening the pause menu

[worldly sphinx]

I mean you could open admin tools mod and see how it was added

[tribal wagon]

I have but I can't find where the server message option is referenced or added 😂 will try looking more later I guess

[hoary phoenix]

Has anyone found out how to have vehicles gunner sight have levels of zoom control?

[hollow heath]

This is not possible currently

Out of the box that is

[hoary phoenix]

Has anyone found a way around it yet?

Arma Reforger Experimental
Hi, i've seen that GetItemPreviewManager() has changed to another class from Game to ChimeraWorld.

        ChimeraWorld world = ChimeraWorld.CastFrom(GetGame().GetWorld());
        ItemPreviewManagerEntity m_Manager = world.GetItemPreviewManager();    

Can we do this in order to get it? i've seen in some reforger code that uses soem item to get his world instead of getting it from GetGame()

[worldly sphinx]

wait what's CastFrom

[worn marten]

don't know y copypasted from another place XD. But it works

[static raven]

Some entities can reside in other worlds, in general you should get the world that the entity is on and then do things based on that

[static raven]

It's only for Worlds

[worldly sphinx]

is there some helper for sending any notification with custom text from server?

the notifications component seems overcomplicated

[stuck mesa]

We tried, but we think you have to add that functionality manually

[worldly sphinx]

bohemia pls

its just displaying a string on the screen

[rustic cypress]

Why dont you use hints? You can use SCR_HintManagerComponent to show a hint with custom text.

can also make it show only to certain faction, not sure if you can aim it to specific player. Should be able to be done tho.

[worldly sphinx]

because I want to use notifications

[tiny steeple]

I want use too but can't reposition notifications. its wrong position since some updates ago. When i change notification's layout all gone, see only colored lines.
But now its behind my own display:

deploy menu notif position would be fine but i failed with working deploymenu samle too 😄

[worn marten]

Where did you place your notifications layout? Is the same place as the vanilla?

[tiny steeple]

@worn marten i use override button at WB, its keep original name and path

[worn marten]

If you want send me some captures of your layout and the overrided config.

[tiny steeple]

Hello, I'm making the HUD mod, but I don't know how to test it in Enfusion workbench.

How can I do?

[wintry topaz]

You have to add it in the Hud Manager of the Player Base

then just load a world, and play it?

[wintry topaz]

Yep

You have to Override the Base Player and applay on prefab

I am assuming it is the root of the mod

will there be docs on creating new radial menus? I know I can add commands to the commanding menu but I was hoping I can use the system to have my own radial menu

[worldly sphinx]

nvm it was easy lol (compared to the previous system, anyway)

[worldly sphinx]

something happened to the list box UI component as I can no longer activate ("click") it when it's inside a dialog using an xbox controller - I can scroll it but not confirm selection

[worn marten]

really 😱 ? let me check my arsenal

[worldly sphinx]

it works in a menu but not a dialog

I can click it with mouse just fine but pressing A on controller doesnt do anything

[worn marten]

a ok, works in menu, then it will work fine for me

[worldly sphinx]

lucky you

seems like MenuSelect is "missing" from DialogContext

it says dialog will use MenuContext but that seems incorrect, it uses DialogContext regardless of what I put in the Action Context

I hope I don't break the whole game by adding MenuSelect to DialogContext

[worn marten]

tobh i changed to Menus in the last patch to hide actions, that was ugly . But not sure what's the difference beside that

[stuck mesa]

before 1.0: SCR_NavigationButtonComponent
after 1.0: SCR_InputButtonComponent

Also requires changing it in the .layout files

Pressing ESC did nothing for me before I changed it

[winged vessel]

any idea why mine all look like this? even in conflict

[stuck mesa]

check the layout, InputButtonComponent thing

And also the values in there

If you had any edits to layouts made before 1.0
You should check the new updated layouts.
Since old edits will have wrong script class

[winged vessel]

That screenshot is from conflict

Ive updated my layouts and added the label back

but even conflict buttons show like that

I guess its something ive done I just dont know what

it seems to have fixed itself somehow

maybe after restarting workbench

[winged vessel]

still having issues dragging items around inventory. it takes 5-6 goes before it works, and cannot drag anything into hotbar (or anywhere) when it does actually drag. just nothing happens

I have to drop items then equip them from the ground

[stuck mesa]

the InputButtonComponent in the layout has parameters, maybe those are wrong

[winged vessel]

Im no longer talking about the InputButtonComponent

that is fixed

I am talking about dragging items in the inventory

which has been broken for a long time, but now it is even more broken

and now that has also randomly fixed itself, possibly after workbench reload

[worldly sphinx]

do we have a way to display any text as a notification yet?

[stray cave]

Same thing happened to me yesterday. Restarting seems to be a temporary fix

[stray cave]

'SCR_HintManagerComponent' has a static method called 'ShowCustomHint', if that's what you're looking for

[worldly sphinx]

doesn't seem relevant

[burnt axle]

Was anyone else using tooltips before? I had a custom layout tooltip and used SCR_TooltipManagerEntity.CreateTooltip(tooltipLayoutPath, m_wRoot); before 1.0, but now it expects a type SCR_ScriptedWidgetTooltipPreset, just being lazy before I try to figure it out myself and see if anyone else did something similar

[frigid girder]

Hello all, i noticed the Ctrl+R action (Inspect Weapon) is gone right now. Can't recall if it was linked to any mod, thing that i'm starting to suspect. Did anyone notice and eventually fixed this?

It's a bug. Sometimes you can add fonts normally, sometimes the way Punky had to do it

[crimson acorn]

I have an issue with the ItemPreviewWidget. The item preview becomes blurry as the image shows
This is how I get the ItemPreviewManagerEntity :

ChimeraWorld world = ChimeraWorld.CastFrom(GetGame().GetWorld());
ItemPreviewManagerEntity manager = world.GetItemPreviewManager();

And here's how I get the widget and display the item:

ItemPreviewWidget itemPreview = ItemPreviewWidget.Cast(itemWidget.FindAnyWidget("ItemPreview0"));
m_ItemPreviewManagerEntity.SetPreviewItem(itemPreview, previewObjEntity, null, true);

Any idea ? Was working fine until 1.0...

[proper sphinx]

probably same issue as in lobby mod

i think its a bug

[hollow heath]

this is game-wide, same thing happes in vanilla arsenal and just inventory

[static raven]

@crimson acorn check if the render scale is 100%

[hollow heath]

its an option now?

[shy vapor]

Isn't it just a problem of engine displaying low resolution mipmap?

Mesh and aliasing are the same in both icons

[crimson acorn]

It's 100%. Soul_Assassin is correct, also happens in the inventory. You open it, the second after everything becomes blurry

[static raven]

the render scale setting is game wide

I had the same issue and it was that

[crimson acorn]

I checked in the settings of the game, it's set to 100%, I have never changed it
Never seen this issue until 1.0

Did you ever figure out how to load additions to the settings and keybinding menus at boot, rather than after loading a world?

[worldly sphinx]

not really possible, because mods are loaded when a world is loading and not before

[sweet heron]

Ah - I'll lay that one to rest, then. I thought I was doing something wrong!

Do you mean the red triangles and the red square? They allow you to see your current selected widget. without them you may not be able to "see" some of them when placed.

So its only for me to mark where im working right now? @worn marten Because I can move this

[hollow heath]

Mmmm I don't think so

oh yes sorry. I was not thinking so much, the yellow border is the selected widget. The red border and arrows i don't know then. Maybe something related with navigation?

Hey guys, I'm starting GUI modding now but I have never scripted in Arma Reforger. I know C# pretty good and made some scripts for Arma 3 but I don't know anything about scripting with mods.

changing an image of an imagewidget with script breaks scaling

they stretch out

or something, it's weird

works great if the image is already set in the UI layout but once I change it in script it always looks off

I think the size/dimensions of the imagewidget dont update when I change it with script

so it keeps dimensions of the "original" ui layout image

or maybe it's the ScaleWidget my image is in

this is the original UI layout

this is what happens after I change the imagewidget texture in script to something with different size (this is a qr code)

the layout sort of keeps the dimensions of the originally defined image

how do I refresh it? or something

[mellow escarp]

Can't find the layout for this particular tab. Is it fully dynamically created?

[worn marten]

Yes it is, you can find each of thouse rows in a config. Im not at home right now to give you a path.

[mellow escarp]

Found it, seems that it' whole editor attribute classes thing.

[late shore]

Can anyone help me with overriding vanilla UI?

[old patio]

Hey guys, got a little problem or misunderstanding. I followed the UI creation tutorial from Spyke for the ListBox but its not writing anything in it. What should I put in AddItem()? Just a text or a prefab? How should I do that?

[worn marten]

Which vanilla UI?

[worn marten]

Hi which one?

[old patio]

This one

I created the list as told and the script as told. Still isn't showing anything

[worn marten]

Is m_ListBoxComponent null?

[old patio]

what do you mean?

[old patio]

is it a variable?

[worn marten]

yes

[old patio]

ok I'll check

[worn marten]

You can check it with a Print(m_ListBoxComponent) before the if(m_ListBoxComponent) (should print something in console log) or using script editor break points

[old patio]

: SCR_ListBoxComponent m_ListBoxComponent = SCR_ListBoxComponent<0x00000206E3DF41F0>

[worn marten]

ok so it is fine

can you share your layout with some image?

what do you see on screen when running it?

[old patio]

This is the code

OverlayWidget m_ListBoxOverlay; SCR_ListBoxComponent m_ListBoxComponent;

OnMenuOpen

//List m_ListBoxOverlay = OverlayWidget.Cast(m_wRoot.FindAnyWidget("ListBox0")); m_ListBoxComponent = SCR_ListBoxComponent.Cast(m_ListBoxOverlay.FindHandler(SCR_ListBoxComponent)); Print("[EmergencyPlus] initialize Components", LogLevel.NORMAL); Print(m_ListBoxComponent,LogLevel.NORMAL); if (m_ListBoxComponent) { m_ListBoxComponent.AddItem("MyItem0"); m_ListBoxComponent.AddItem("MyItem1"); m_ListBoxComponent.AddItem("MyItem2"); Print("[EmergencyPlus] List set", LogLevel.NORMAL); }

[old patio]

The List is there but nothing in it

[worn marten]

share the full .c file

[old patio]

uhm...

Discord won't allow me to send it because I'm not a friend with the server lol

[worn marten]

ok send it to me with private message np

[old patio]

Same thing. What is wrong with DC lol

I'll send you the file

[late shore]

Interaction one. For opening doors and getting in vehicles etc...

[worn marten]

what do you want to change?

[late shore]

Change it to be more simple. I hate that there is big orange F everywhere

But I get lost in scripts

[worn marten]

mmm ok

[late shore]

And how to override it

Scripts are still new to me, I make asset mods xD

If you could help me out a bit and figure it out, I would really appreciate it.🙏

[worn marten]

Maybe this: {80CC0413DDBDFCB9}Configs/ControlHints/AvailableActions.conf
and this: {07E240F39AC8FDDB}UI/layouts/HUD/AvailableActions/AvailableActionsSlot.layout
i've not tested it so if they are not the stuff you are looking for tell me

[late shore]

Thank you very much🙏 I will check it out.

[late shore]

I inheritetd both, but when I try to edit the config or layout, the content gets deleted

and then there is just empty layout and empty config

[worn marten]

you should override it not inherit

[late shore]

ok I did that now but it does not change anything, even if I change the layout or config

I found it, it was the wrong layout

[late shore]

@worn marten well I was only able to remove the F, but changing other stuff like size does not change. I tried changing ActionSlot size

[hoary phoenix]

Very noob Question.. But is Vehicle aiming sites fall under the naming scheme as GUI?

[worldly sphinx]

bump

anyone know how to change UI image in script in a way that it doesn't break scaling?

[worldly sphinx]

turns out I can get this to work by reading image size and then setting image size

weird but ok

[proper sphinx]

Is there any best practice how to import alpha channeled PNG so that they properly display in GUI displays. In layout/edds preview everything looks fine but in game display its always a bit translucent (even in areas that should be opaque). Similar to how it looks when I set to MIP 2 in the edds file.

Wonder if its a missing property of SCR_InfoDisplay (which I build upon) or import setting or something else 🤔

[proper sphinx]

i kind of suspect m_bAdaptiveOpacity to be the culprit but as its private i see no workaround

[half solstice]

I'll just say, I have better luck with tga and tiff files. But you also may need to look at https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Textures naming conventions .

[proper sphinx]

why am i not surprised to find myself in stone age file formats again when it comes to arma

didnt use it for 20 years of design career

[sweet heron]

Is there a way to get support for Norwegian characters (æ, ø, å)?

[burnt axle]

What do UI Styles do? When I try to open the reforger ones I get an error that it cant open file '%s'

[old patio]

Hey guys, I have a problem. Anyone knows how the Map Widget is working? Its pretty buggy for me (see picture). Anyone knows what went wrong and how to use that?

[worn marten]

I've tested it and i get something. it's not perfect but maybe it's a good start for you. This is the project.

@old patio

[old patio]

You are just a legend

[worn marten]

There are a lot of systems working here so i don't know how to "simplify" more and only get a map where you can set a specific position, zoom etc

[old patio]

I think I can work from there. I think there are mostly bufs from missing a code

[crimson acorn]

Trying to render text using RTTextureWidget and &rendertarget, but I end up with this black background
Not familiar with this stuff, any help is highly appreciated
It worked prior 1.0 update, so I wonder what change could cause this

[worldly sphinx]

String editor attributes plz, someday

[crimson acorn]

Finally, I've been able to fix this after wasting few days messing with undocumented UI and materials properties.
It turns out that it was the update 0.9.9.47 from 20 July 2023 that broke it, not 1.0 as I previously stated.
Glad to see that we still have a lot of undocumented UI and other stuff lacking documentation and it feels almost like we have to beg for assistance

[wicked zinc]

A lot of people have already begged for documentation and examples, and BI is working on it; however it takes time to do it right.
Especially when looking at the BIKI for Arma 2/3 which was completely done by the community 😉

[swift cosmos]

Can you explain a bit more what that means?

[worldly sphinx]

Editor attributes for editing entities and other settings in Game Master, do not support strings

[old patio]

Hey guys, got a problem with importing my image. I wanna create a menu for our Radio and this is how the image looks like... There is a color being put above the Image. Anyone knows how I can import the Image like it already is?

[proper sphinx]

if you mean its brighter than expected try changing to sRGB in color mode import settings.

[old patio]

Yes that was my problem. There is a color over that image. If I change that Color to red for example, the radio is also red

[proper sphinx]

not sure which setting that is out of my head, but did you try setting alpha of that color to zero?

[old patio]

hey, sorry had to work. Yeah it just let the image disapear as well -,-

[old patio]

worked

[worldly sphinx]

so is there a way to set LOD in preview/render target widget yet?

SetFixedLOD on the entity works, I guess

[worldly sphinx]

how do I make up/down gamepad/wasd controls move to the next widget?

or rather, I have two listbox components that scroll horizontally, I want up/down to move between those listboxes instead of moving between contents of the listbox

it only does it when I reach the end of the listbox

[worn marten]

You will need to create that "navigation movement" afaik (Adding ActionListeners and changing the focus to the control you want).
I did some test a while ago handling from the layer that contains both of the listbox, there you can change focus between them.

Althou in some situations didn't work, don't know why. I think it's because some other navigation management was active for the same action. Haven't tested much more tobh.

[worldly sphinx]

Yeah I can deal with it using navigation buttons that respond to actions

[worldly sphinx]

I don't understand the UI editor sometimes, trying to align a button for the past 15 minutes pressing random buttons because it's off by 10 px in the game but not the UI editor

[static raven]

Probably issues with DPI

[static raven]

@worldly sphinx That is what the Navigation group of properties is for on your widget

Set the target rule to explicit then you can define specifically where you want it to be moved

Works for keyboard and controller

[worldly sphinx]

how can I make scroll layout scroll to the next element or a little further past where the item to be in view is?

so I end up with some space at the top and bottom of the screen when on first and last element

[static raven]

like scrollTo in JS, but for an element/widget?

[worldly sphinx]

I want to scroll past it but on xbox it wont work since it just goes over the listbox elements

[static raven]

I am failing to understand the end goal, can you give me some visual explanation of what you want perhaps?

[worldly sphinx]

imagine scrolling inside an element that has padding inside, when you scroll to the bottom there is space visible under the lower-most element

[static raven]

ah I see

and the list box just "scrolls" to the bottom part of the last item

Not taking into account that padding, right?

[worldly sphinx]

yeah because when using the controller it does it by putting elements from the list box in focus

[static raven]

I see, you can't do this nicely with List Box as you do not really have scroll control over it. I will place a request for the engine team on this.

You can achieve it with the scroll widget

[static raven]

You can do a hack with adding empty items at the end to somewhat make it a bit nicer

[worn marten]

oh fine thx

when configured as Escape it searches for the nearest widget with focus enabled, right?

[worldly sphinx]

how do I capture things like mouse clicks or holds in UI?

my action context is activated but action listeners never get the input value, it's always 0

[worldly sphinx]

are animated gifs not supported?

[swift cosmos]

Wasn't aware that even un-animated gifs are supported.
No moving picture support. Though maybe the VideoWidget could make it in sometime, but chances aren't high

[worldly sphinx]

dang I wanted to put animated emojis in my mod

[worldly sphinx]

does the inputmanager not work in UI? none of my custom actions seem to be triggering

nvm it was priority

[worldly sphinx]

how can I make a SCR_ListBoxComponent element clickable when it's already selected? it only registers first click, subsequent clicks do nothing

[worn marten]

This is done in SCR_ListBoxComponent::_SetItemSelected you will see that the OnChanged event only triggers when (oldSelected != selected)

[worldly sphinx]

thank you

[worn marten]

i can't find any attribute to change that, so you will need to override it

You can try to do the same (override) in SCR_ListBoxComponent::OnItemClock to

it's the one that calls for _SetItemSelected

[worldly sphinx]

how do I clear an ItemPreviewWidget?

as in, so it has no preview

[worldly sphinx]

can I change the disabled color of a widget somewhere?

[half solstice]

ItemPreviewManagerEntity::SetPreviewItem(yourWidget null, null,true);

[worldly sphinx]

thank you, force refresh was the needed thing

[half solstice]

sweet, glad that got it sorted

[shadow lantern]

hello people, i am lost, confused and utterly frustrated with the following: i am trying to use the native GUI editor to make a menu based on the PixelGrid system........ but when i look for documentation, i get overwhelmed with old and conflicting information that makes no sense to me. is there anyone here who can help me going?

[worn marten]

@shadow lantern This can help you getting started with the basics.

oops..... i posted in the wrong channel. i was supposed to ask in the ArmA 3 section.

[worldly sphinx]

is it possible to have a button inside a button? clicking the child button seems to click the parent button

[half solstice]

@worldly sphinx Yes, but you have to manually set the focus to the child button from script

[worldly sphinx]

is there a way to draw some debug shapes that will be visible inside render target widgets?

[sweet scaffold]

Anyone know why I cant get the handler either way?

Returns null

but i can find the slider

[worn marten]

I'm using {8C63C2E7AE0092B7}UI/layouts/WidgetLibrary/WLib_ProgressBar.layout prefab wich uses SCR_WLibProgressBarComponent

    //------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    void SetCapacityProgressBar(float percentage)
    {
        SizeLayoutWidget w = SizeLayoutWidget.Cast(m_wRoot.FindAnyWidget(WIDGET_CAPACITY_PROGRESSBAR));
        if(!w)
            return;        
        SCR_WLibProgressBarComponent handler = SCR_WLibProgressBarComponent.Cast(w.FindHandler(SCR_WLibProgressBarComponent));
        if(!handler)
            return;            
        handler.SetValue(percentage);
    }

@sweet scaffold

haven't tested with SCR_SliderComponent

SCR_WLibProgressBarComponent has GetProgressBar to, if you want to try with that

[worn marten]

check that your variable w it's the widget that has that component and not the root

[worldly sphinx]

is there a UI widget for automatic grids?

looks like Grid Layout widget requires me to specify which row and column children are in

looks like WrapLayoutWidget seems to work, though I guess I'll have to do the scaling myself

[worldly sphinx]

how do I figure out why GetGame().GetWorkspace().SetFocusedWidget() does not set an item in focus?

this seems to be mostly noticeable when using gamepad, I want to select an item in the list box

on the controller it doesn't become in focus until I press A or move left stick

[half solstice]

I've noticed a bunch of things don't seem to trigger like they're supposed to when using controller input

[worldly sphinx]

looks like blend mode Blend works differently in Workbench and in game, in Workbench my widget has transparent background but not in the game

game

workbench

[sweet scaffold]

how do i create a new style for a widget?

[sweet scaffold]

@worldly sphinx do you have the code you used to fill in a grid layout

if any devs are watching there should be an auto selection for row and column

[worldly sphinx]

no, I used the wrap layout widget and it seems to arrange items of same size in a grid but it scales incorrectly

[sweet scaffold]

hmm ill write it then

@worldly sphinx here is the math for it if you want it before i implement it

row = btnCount / 3 -- round this down
column = btnCount % 3

3 is for the amount of columns

[static raven]

what do you mean?

[sweet scaffold]

Like to add an item to the next available slot like how the inventory works. For the grid layouts.

Maybe have like an append child function that will accept a widget. And have a param to automatically add it to a slot that’s not taken

m_wGridLayout.appendChild(buttonWidget, autoColumn: true, autoRow: true);

[static raven]

You just need to add it as a child, it will follow the rules of the layout

[sick current]

did you find a way to have a cursor? kinda need it xD

[worldly sphinx]

like an image that moves around with a controller? not sure how to handle the part that focuses things tho

maybe there's a way to have script API pretend mouse cursor is moving just inside UI

[sick current]

that would work

i could just get the widget under the image position and set it focused

[worldly sphinx]

could use an xbox to test this theory right about now

[worldly sphinx]

WidgetManager.TraceWidgets sounds like it could give you a list of widgets under X, Y

you may need to filter types and handlers of course

[sick current]

yeah got that working already and works as expected :PeepoKing:

[worldly sphinx]

WrapLayoutComponent scales vertically for each item regardless of whether it actually is below or not

do size widgets etc support percentage scale?

[sick current]

i think they only do pixels but maybe there is a hidden trick or something i didn't see

[worldly sphinx]

I guess I can set it through script or something

[proper sphinx]

noticed the key hints being behind the map and not visible (fade out as soon as you close the map a second after i did the second screenshot)

any way to show them above the map?

might even be a vanilla bug as panning/zooming is not added by me

[sweet scaffold]

how do i get transform slot info in code so i can set padding and stuff?

the LayoutSlot

nvm i got it

@worldly sphinx here you go buddy

this works

just gotta keep track of how many children there are

[worldly sphinx]

oh I just used the wrap layout widget

[sweet scaffold]

oh damn well if you ever need it there it is lol

thats looking real good

[worldly sphinx]

notice it sizes vertically for each child's height

I will have to compute and set its height manually from script

but that's trivial

[sweet scaffold]

could just convert it to the grid. might save headache since all children are uniform im pretty sure.

Mario said you just have to add it to the grid but i dont see anywhere to set rules like he said

[worldly sphinx]

with grid I have to handle rows and columns, with wrap I have to set height to items count * 64

I guess either works

[sweet scaffold]

true

[worldly sphinx]

this is super annoying though #enfusion_gui message

[sweet scaffold]

hmm i havent messed with previews yet so i couldnt test that yet but if i figure it out ill let you know

[worldly sphinx]

it bothers me that it's different in game than in workbench because I can't repro it

[sweet scaffold]

yea ive ran into a few things like that script wise. it doesn't make much sense. its like workbench is more updated than the game.

[worldly sphinx]

no you dont understand man it drives me crazy

[worldly sphinx]

is SetFocusedWidget supposed to work on gamepad or am I losing my mind over a bug?

lmao it works when I use callqueue

[sweet scaffold]

how easy is it to setup gamepad controls for a menu? @worldly sphinx

[worldly sphinx]

trivial

aside from some random bugs

[sweet scaffold]

why cant I get the root widgets workspace in a dialog?

[worn marten]

I get it OnMenuOpen() using m_wRoot = GetRootWidget();

[mellow escarp]

how to properly use images with transparency in UI controls? I'm trying to import .png with transparent background, but it doesn't work - it still has background for some reason

Seems that it's tied to photoshop transparency
Here I used eraser a bit and for some reason it erased the transparency in reforger's ui control too

[worldly sphinx]

make sure your image has an alpha channel, photoshop does not save alpha channels for PNG I think (I forgot how it does transparency, but there's no separate alpha channel is what I mean)

[mellow escarp]

Could it be tied to "color profile"?

[worldly sphinx]

no, photoshop does not export alpha channels for png

to my knowledge you need an alpha channel, so if you use photoshop try a different format

[half solstice]

Just stop using png.

[static raven]

It's premult png

[worldly sphinx]

yeah, that

[amber spruce]

anyone know how to setup interaction with objects e.g. holding e to start an action?

[winter rampart]

How in tarnation do you make a scrollable panel? I wish I could copy/paste from an existing layout but I have this hierarchy. Been doing my best to compare/contrast the server browser menu layout

I feel like I am missing something stupid small or something

[worldly sphinx]

ScrollLayout has the scrollbar, so it will display scrollbar for things inside it if they grow beyond the size of he ScrollLayout

[winter rampart]

I understand that bit, it's just.... the vertical layout inside the scroll layout doesn't.... scroll when I have a bunch of content outside of it

I add elements to the vertical layout within the scroll.

[worldly sphinx]

screenshot? and enable clipping in scrolllayout

[winter rampart]

it is enabled, default settings
WIP for sure but I have 14 items added to the vertical layout and only see 8. no scroll ability or scrollbar visible

direction set to vertical

[worldly sphinx]

show me full scrolllayout?

props

[worldly sphinx]

try those two slot options

[winter rampart]

that didn't impact anything either

[worldly sphinx]

hmm ok I'm out of guesses

thats how my scroll layouts are setup

[winter rampart]

There has to be something obvious that I am missing. The size of the area is defined, not set to "size to content"
clearly defined square. This is on the overlay widget

IDK if it matters or not

I got it working..... moved the vertical layout to be INSIDE of the scroll

[quartz stone]

Can anyone explane how to mod a Layout file? i need to add my own imageset to the map. So i try to duplicate and inherit the original File. But: If i add my imageset, the original Icons will not work anymore and if i add the original also, then only the original icons work, but the new added imageset is not working.

[worn marten]

There are some ways, not sure wich is the best tobh. Can you tell me where is the current vanilla image set so i can take a look? The one i guess you want to "extend".

[quartz stone]

Hey Spyke, you mean i should mod the imageset and not the Layout?

{0651202E9F2646DE}UI/layouts/Map/Map.layout

If you take a look, the imagesets are on the MapWidget - i just added my own

[worn marten]

I tired with override in addon but after closing/opening the layout, all the other imagesets from MapWidget where deleted to. So ... i don't know if this is a bug or it's not the good way. I will atach some images so maybe some Dev can help you.

[quartz stone]

Yeah, same here

@static raven do you know something about?

[half solstice]

@quartz stone@worn marten

[quartz stone]

how? 😄

[half solstice]

Magic

[quartz stone]

cool

[half solstice]

You have to alter the map.layout externally

actually let me test something really quick

So yes, the only way is to alter externally

[quartz stone]

And what i need to change in the File? i already copyed the original imagesets into it with Notepad++

[half solstice]

you just paste in the array for the Imagesets

I.E. the original array with yours added to the end

[quartz stone]

i already did this 😦

[half solstice]

You're doing it wrong then.

Override the original

open in note pad

[quartz stone]

   Imagesets {
    "{BCD5479864D1A79A}UI/Textures/Map/topographicIcons/icons_topographic_map.imageset" "{F7E8D4834A3AFF2F}UI/Imagesets/Conflict/conflict-icons-bw.imageset" "{9AF52DEEF08E7F74}UI/Imagesets/Editor/editor_icons_map.imageset" "{7AC739B91D4F8D92}UI/REAPER_MapMarker.imageset"

   }
  }
 }
}

[quartz stone]

looks the same

[half solstice]

From what i'm seeing though. The problem is that we can't add more Descriptor Types

[quartz stone]

Did you closed workbench and reload?

[half solstice]

or new main Types to the SCR_MapDescriptorComponent

modding EMapDescriptorType doesn't seem to work for me

[quartz stone]

i also tryed this 😦

[half solstice]

Yes the only way is to override the existing ones

we can't add new ones apparently

[quartz stone]

If you close and reload workbench, will all icons work?

in my case the original one are gone and only a triangle will show

[half solstice]

You're using the wrong imageset index

the index for yours

since it's the last one is 3

[quartz stone]

so, you have to remove one?

[half solstice]

What?

[quartz stone]

since it's the last one is 3... so i can not add a 4th one

[half solstice]

I don't think you understand what i'm talking about

[quartz stone]

maybe 😄

[half solstice]

not maybe, I was just being nice

Show me the config entry for your Descriptor

[half solstice]

mostly because it's generated

[quartz stone]

i set the icons by Script

[half solstice]

i'm not doing that

im just trying to add custom ones to use on map objects

[quartz stone]

and i added new one to the PlayerCharacters depending on there state

[half solstice]

The information you're supplying is to vague for me to be helpful.

[quartz stone]

Sorry im new to all of this. So, i added the Imageset like shown above to the Map.Layout file. In my Script i Set the Icons with "SCR_MapDescriptorComponent". This is all working. But if i add my imageset to the Layout, the orignal Icons will not show anymore. if i remove my imageset, then the original is working. So, i do not get it that all icons working.

[half solstice]

Are you in experimental?

SCR_MapDescriptorComponent doesn't have any functions

So, idk how you think you're setting the image with it.

[quartz stone]

Nope regular build

you can use it without problems

        if(!m_MapDescComp)
            m_MapDescComp = SCR_MapDescriptorComponent.Cast(m_owner.FindComponent(SCR_MapDescriptorComponent));
        
        if(!m_MapItem) {
            m_MapItem = m_MapDescComp.Item();
            m_MapItemProps = m_MapItem.GetProps();        
        }

[half solstice]

Yeah, I know how to get components and cast to them

[quartz stone]

So? m_MapItem.SetImageDef(icon);

Just paste the imageSet reticle name "string"

[half solstice]

That does absolutely nothing for me

Not sure where you're doing your logic to get this to work.

I'm just testing with a useraction

nevermind

You have to have Map Item Descriptor ticked in the component lol

I'm able to change them at runtime but, not to one from a custom imageset

[wraith relic]

Would it be possible to not remove the text from the Game Master A.I. group UI if tabs/categories are added?
I have added 3 additional categories to the Game Master A.I. group UI and now only the icons are there and the categories text is gone which can make it a bit hard to find the right category tab.
Maybe its a bug cuz there are already keys ( Q & E ) assigned to swicht between tabs.
So yeah guess not removing the categories text/description if too many are added/stacked would be better for readability.

[burnt axle]

Whats up with updates messing up my UI's? Every few updates I have to go fix them because something with localization or something else has changed

my panel navigations buttons are messed up and so are my escape/exit buttons

So some buttons need to have their classes changed.

As a warmup in Enfusion modding I wanted to create a simple mod that displays compass bearing on the HUD while you're holding the compass and focusing on it. I've figured out I can do it SCR_CompassComponent.Updatemethod. Just wondering what would be the most idiomatic way to communicate with the HUD from here.

Should I just do:
SCR_HUDManagerComponent.GetHUDManager().FindInfoDisplay(...) and execute the methods directly on the InfoDisplay?

[half solstice]

Take a look at the SCR_BaseHUDComponent on the Character_Base

You need to write a custom info display and add it to the component.

[queen shoal]

I've already done that. This doesn't exactly answer my question

[half solstice]

How am I supposed to know what you've already done if you don't say so?

[queen shoal]

I mean... I wrote about getting the info display from hud manager. Anyways, it's not what the question is about.

[burnt axle]

In your info display I'd just get a reference to the character on intialization and check the inventory for a compass. If it doesn't exist then maybe once a second in the update function check if it now exists and save a reference to it. Once you have a reference to the compass you can get the compass component reference and grab any data you want from it. You could do it directly from the signal that animates it, or you can skip all of the compass references and just get the transform of the player and use the Y axis rotation to set the HUD bearing

I don't think you need to do anything manually with info display. Just add a new item to the info display array on the player prefab and the update and init functions are automatically called

[queen shoal]

Got it mostly working but can't figure out how to move my HUD around the screen, I want it to follow the gadget (compass) in the hand, I have the world->screen pos already but it does not look like I can "set pos" m_wRoot of the InfoDisplay wherever I want

[burnt axle]

you can make a child of the root widget in the layout and move that one around maybe (with everything a child of that first child)

[queen shoal]

yeah it works.

used the FrameSlot.SetPos() on child FrameWidget

for the m_wRoot it complained about:
Position/Size works only when min and max anchor is the same in given direction

thanks!

welp, and I think I found a bug.

if you hide a hud while it's doing fade in anim it will pop back in after the animation finishes:

.Show(true, UIConstants.FADE_RATE_SLOW);
// few frames later
.Show(false);
// hud visible after fade in time finished

I guess this fixes that...

override protected void OnShownFinished(Widget w, float targetOpacity, WidgetAnimationOpacity anim = null)
{
    // fix the bug where HUD-reappears if fade-in finishes after hud was hidden (quick hud toggles)
    if (!m_bShown && targetOpacity > 0)
        Show(false);
}

[fathom dew]

It's funny how I almost had the exact same idea as a first mod to get familiar with modding in Enfusion.

[queen shoal]

Tells something about the accessibility of the 3d compass 🫠

[somber tinsel]

Wait are you guys just blind or what is the problem with the compasses? 😅

The US compass btw is a lensatic compass though but the lens is not usable in the game.

[queen shoal]

Yes I have mediocre sight, playing ultra wide with high FOV makes it even smaller. The "overlay" one in A3 is way easier to use for me.

And few guys in my group voiced same concern.

A3 was way more accessible regarding to GUI. You could customize almost everything.

My other pet peeve is the game using full screen width for HUD on ultrawides, there should be an option to constrain the hud to 16:9 screen size.

[fathom dew]

Yeah. The main menu does that already kinda. I just used the center area. Hope we can adjust that at some point.

[queen shoal]

Yeah, I do not expect full blown "position everything where you want" like in A3 minding the consoles, just simpe "I want narrower hud" switch would be enough. Horizon being a nice example here:

[queen shoal]

I wanted to try modding that in but lack for the documentation on UI/Layouts does not help.

[worldly sphinx]

scale and/or size layout widgets was what I used for my loadout editor

[somber tinsel]

Could it be improved in Reforger so that it would bring the compass closer to your face?

[queen shoal]

Quite likely, yes

[cinder plinth]

blurry rear sight post for me. Buddy showed me his was fine though... Any ideas?

Also, it only does this for me in game and not when im testing in Engine

Buddy's perspective

[median tulip]

Try turning off depth of field in the settings ?

[cinder plinth]

Enfusion or arma settings?

[median tulip]

Well I mean if it's like this for you in the game, then the arma settings obviously

[cinder plinth]

Alrighty, sorry I just woke up

Big brain credits to the great @median tulip

Much better thanks

[somber tinsel]

I do like that the rear sight is blurred - the right amount.
Makes it rather realistic.

Btw I don't think this is the right channel for this?

[cinder plinth]

I had no idea which one would be correct so I just shotgunned it

[cinder plinth]

Idk I guess if people like it they can turn on DOF in settings 🤷🏻‍♂️

[somber tinsel]

thats illegal you know?

[burnt axle]

is there a permanent toggle for the layout editor compact mode? I want to always have it disabled

[frigid girder]

Hello all, is there a document reference that shows how to add custom player actions in the screen? Same position of “Select Grenade Launcher” as an example

[half solstice]

https://enfusionengine.com/api/redirect?to=enfusion://ResourceManager/~ArmaReforger:Configs/ControlHints/AvailableActions.conf

This config is all the info you need.

[frigid girder]

Thanks Zelik!

[quartz stone]

Hey, short question: How can i align a Widget on the right side of the screen? I Tryed by Script by using the ScreenX and subdivided the Widget width. But this is not working well. If you go fullscreen, the widget moves to much to the right by 21:9 and if you make the window small like 1280px then it moves more to the center. TY

[worldly sphinx]

There are slot or pivot options for this

[quartz stone]

found it! Ty

[quartz stone]

Hey, the slot alignment is working with 16:9 Ratio, but on 21:9 the Widget does not show. Do you know something about?

[worldly sphinx]

if your slot is aligned to top corner it should work for every resolution

[worldly sphinx]

what about the parent slot?

parent element, or whatever

maybe it has some max width or something

[quartz stone]

Parent is a Overlay, set to 1 - right

And above is just the FrameRoot

[worldly sphinx]

then idk

not off the top of my head anyway

[peak ruin]

hey, I'm double posting this on a couple threads. I'm trying to get up to speed on mission making and I'm catching on but still pretty new. I am setting up a base character that will be the parent of many campaign characters. does anyone have some time to walk me through some of the menus i want to play around with for my server? IE: i want to add a couple of components to the HUD, for the most part do away with stamina, and maybe play with the radio manager a little.

[mellow escarp]

What's the name of this menu/screen? I tried to search by "briefing" but there's nothing even moderately close

[orchid river]

journal is the config name, briefing is the screen name @mellow escarp

The config can be found at (configs > scenarios > CombatOps_eden > CO_Journal_Eden.config iirc) but I haven't found out how where to change it in the actual object hierarchy for the mission lol

wait, u can change it for the mission in the Gamemode_CO_Eden object, specifically the SCR_RespawnBriefingComponent

[hard phoenix]

Is it possible that I can only have one script with:

modded enum ChimeraMenuPreset
```?

Since when I have another one with exactly the same name. (ChimeraMenuPreset)
I can only select the other one like that: ChimeraMenuPreset#4657#1
but this doesn't compile.

[hard phoenix]

Ok nvm...
One of the file wasn't in the games folder.

[half solstice]

You wouldn't really need it twice in one mod. Just add both new values at one.

Once*

[hard phoenix]

Ye.. i tried that, but it also needs the classes for the UI.
And this could get really messy when having like 30 UI layouts

Or is there a way to call the classes when they are in a different folder? Didn’t try it

I’ll try something tomorrow, else i stick to multiple files

[hollow heath]

what?

[hard phoenix]

The Class: "ChimeraMenuPreset" needs to be in the same folder as your script which is declared in the chimeramenu.conf.
Else it won't find your script. But could work if I paste the path instead of only name.

[hollow heath]

mkk, thats weird if true, did not encounter this behavior in other places

[hard phoenix]

Is it possible that when using peer to peer the following method:

GetGame().GetMenuManager().OpenMenu(ChimeraMenuPreset.EL_CharacterSelection);

opens up inside the workbench when called, but not on the peer to peer client.
When the peer to peer client calls it, it gets opened in the workbench client.

Any clue why it's like this?
Am I doing something wrong or is the peer to peer just unreliable?

[vocal cape]

Anyone familiar with changing the ranks imageset? I'm looking to change the rank icons but there is a lot of different folders with rankboldicon rankglowicon mips ect. Not sure what the process would be here...

[half solstice]

If you want a menu to only open on a particular client then you must make it only open on that particular client.

class ZEL_OpenMenuUserAction : ScriptedUserAction
{
    //------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    override void PerformAction(IEntity pOwnerEntity, IEntity pUserEntity) //Gets called on client and server
    {
        GetGame().GetMenuManager().OpenMenu(ChimeraMenuPreset.PauseMenu);//All Clients will get this called.
    }
}

In your particular situation you want OpenMenu to only be called for the client performing the "action" . So you have to determine a way to do such things.

class ZEL_OpenMenuUserAction : ScriptedUserAction
{
    //------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    override void PerformAction(IEntity pOwnerEntity, IEntity pUserEntity)
    {
        if(GetGame().GetPlayerController().GetControlledEntity() == pUserEntity)
            GetGame().GetMenuManager().OpenMenu(ChimeraMenuPreset.PauseMenu);    
    }
}

In a user action it's as simple as this.

[tiny steeple]

Hi guys! Possible set cursor position by script? WidgetManager have only vector GetCursorPos() and void GetCursorPos(out int posX, out int posY)

Xbox players have cursor when they use controller?

[worldly sphinx]

dont think so

[tiny steeple]

There is a picture for controller key binding what is uses WB key names?
I not have controller and can't figure out what are these:
gamepad0:right_thumb_horizontal
gamepad0:left_trigger+
gamepad0:shoulder_right
gamepad0:any_axis+
Visualised key allocation with this names would be fine

Or maybe there is a controller emulator what working like windows screen keyboard?

[hard phoenix]

Hey Zelik, thanks for the suggestion. This did indeed work.
But another question, do you know any other way on how to call an GUI?
Since this example is only when a player interacts with an entity.
But is there a way of opening a gui for the player with just scripting?

Since "GetGame().GetMenuManager().OpenMenu()" only really works with Workbench client,
not Peer To Peer / Multiplayer client.

Since rn we have a script when a player joins he gets saved, etc. and at some point the script should open the gui for the player.

[half solstice]

Not sure what you mean about OpenMenu not working on multiplayer client, it works exactly how it's supposed to. Whichever client calls it opens the menu. You just have to do some logic to determine which client.

[hard phoenix]

Hmmmmmmmh, okay thanks for that info.
I will continue with just trying.

[queen steeple]

fyi SCR_PlayerController.GetLocalControlledEntity() is the same as GetGame().GetPlayerController().GetControlledEntity()

[half solstice]

Thanks?

[keen jackal]

is there any info on the sliders?

can I put like panels with buttons and stuff on in a slider or would it be better to use like a list box

Does CanvasWidget work? I try to draw Lines with LineDrawCommand but I can't get anything to show to screen

[worldly sphinx]

Do let us know if you figure this out as I've wanted to use it for charts

[surreal rover]

set variable m_fWidth to some number; by default the lines have 0 width.

[worldly sphinx]

plz add emojis and gif support

[swift cosmos]

You could get AwesomeFont support yourself

by adding the font, gets you some emoji-like pictograms

[worldly sphinx]

not emojis

well actually

you're right

I guess only grayscale tho

[swift cosmos]

yeah

I got this roboto with AwesomeFont combined font

[worldly sphinx]

are there helpers for drawing charts in ui?

[worldly sphinx]

do you know perhaps how to replace one font with a different one? I tried placing a font in the same spot as Roboto_Regular but when I press play I get this

[swift cosmos]

Same place should work.
But you need the 3 files, the .edds, .fnt and .meta for the fnt

any console errors about font failing to load?

[worldly sphinx]

10:56:58.429     RESOURCES (W): resource not registered: @"$CursedReforger:Assets/UI/Fonts/Roboto_Regular.edds". Generating temporary GUID

but I cant register it

maybe I can reimport the tga with the name

ok it imported but same issue, and I see no hits for "font" or "roboto" in the log

oh I am a dumbass

I had a prefab in the world that was doing the loading screen thing

sick

Legal disclaimer this is not MS Comic Sans but a free font that looks similar

[worldly sphinx]

this only works in workbench, in the game the font is unchanged

its like the game uses a different font than wb play mode

[swift cosmos]

Ugh

game probably loads the font once

and doesn't unload/reload it when you go into a game and the mod actually loads and replaces it

[worldly sphinx]

actually it works in some places but not here, _Regular doesnt get replaced but _Bold does

[swift cosmos]

is _Bold used in main menu or loading screen?

[worldly sphinx]

the one in my screenshot is robotocondensed regular, this one does not get replaced in the game

bold is used for things like headers in menus and does get replaced

[lament totem]

@worldly sphinx Is this a mod you're making public as I would love to reference from this if possible to change a font in one of my projects.

[worldly sphinx]

cursed reforger will move from unlisted to public after saturday's playtest probably

[wild berry]

proceeds to prepare to block the item

[worldly sphinx]

you can't stop me

there is no charts drawing helper for the UI so I'm guessing I'll just have to draw lines on a canvas widget based on data points?

[lament totem]

Lovely!

[burnt axle]

There is a debug ui chart, but not one for layouts I believe

[static raven]

You bet?

[worldly sphinx]

if BI has a clause in the license about being able to terminate anyone's access for any reason then I'm not taking this bet

[worldly sphinx]

actually was easy with canvaswidget

going to have a lot of fun with this for the next version of admin tools

[static raven]

There is a widget for this iirc but it is not exposed

[worldly sphinx]

too late

[static raven]

[worldly sphinx]

ok but actually it's probably better than my implementation

[frigid girder]

Anybody knows if there’s any tutorial around explaining how to build a UI so I could follow it step by step? I would like to make a GUI popping when a player goes down with a counter based on the unconsciousness timer and a key to trigger the respawn action on screen

is there a constant somewhere for the default orange UI color?

[half solstice]

@worldly sphinx 0.760998 0.392004 0.078004 1.000000

[worldly sphinx]

so no?

found one, GUIColors::ORANGE

[half solstice]

https://enfusionengine.com/api/redirect?to=enfusion://ResourceManager/~ArmaReforger:UI/layouts/WidgetLibrary/Buttons/WLib_PagingButton.layout Has the colors for all states, hovered etc.

[worldly sphinx]

ok so how does outline work for LineDrawCommand

and how do the UV scales work lol

[worldly sphinx]

@surreal rover with texture it starts looking acceptable

UV scale is a bit weird

how do I make GetScreenSize output something other than 0?

What would be causing an image that is exported as TIF or PNG from photoshop, and Imported into Workbench GUI as .edds it will be washed out color wise, it's being placed in this structure OverlayWidget > ScaleWidget > ImageWidget , although if I view that same exact picture in the WB texture viewer everything looks fine any thoughts would help

[deep pawn]

color space not 'ToSRGB' in the import tab of the image ?

[static raven]

The name of the file can also enforce the use of certain import configurations

What is the name of the file?

[frozen saddle]

file name when imported had no suffix just lootpile.tif

[frozen saddle]

I can't find what you referring to

[frozen saddle]

ooo ok ok

do I try to change that to ToSRGB ?

how to apply that change do I have to do something ?

[deep pawn]

reimport button at top

[frozen saddle]

@deep pawn @static raven legends that was it

what's weird is only happend to some stuff but not others

On the same topic kinda on the wiki it says Import - upon binarised and compressed version import of the source, an .edds texture is created right next to the source texture. is it good practice to keep those source textures files or I can delete them and wont affect anything live and published?

If there is no .meta file to that file then it wont be packed

Hi guys! I managed to make a little modification in my UI adding two icons (ImageWidgets). I'm starting from the Capture and Hold scoring layouts and in the scripts now I would like to: initialize them, make them invisible and activate one or the other based on a specific event which I can call back from the game manager. Anybody can support me? Very first time i'm meddling with UI 🙂

SCR_TooltipManagerEntity no longer exists (I use to do manager.CreateToolTip) and I can't figure out how to get SCR_ScriptedWidgetTooltip.GetOnTooltipShow().Insert(OnTooltipShow) to actually work.

Anyone knows how can i set usable map in my own menu?

I need scrollable, zoomable map for get cursor position on map.
I tried copy map layout's content to my menu but not really working. Its fall apart and cursor position wrong...

[tardy pagoda]

you mean your Scenario doesnt provide a map ? an d you wanna add one?

[tiny steeple]

I need map instance inside own menu. Minimap for position selection.

[tiny steeple]

this happening when i open map and use my menu later

[tiny steeple]

if i open my menu before map opened once:
"(E): DrawPolygon triangulation failed, is the polygon degenerated?"

how do I force an order between these two widgets. I've tried grouping them differently and a few other things yesterday, but no matter what (even when the gameversion is visually above my widget) it will be placed below it during compilation or when I reload my project

[worldly sphinx]

z order

[warm junco]

isn't Z front to back? I'll try it tho, ty

[worldly sphinx]

this isnt css

[warm junco]

I just read the hint to determine that

But yeah... should've tried that yesterday, read the hint and thought it was what it said it was.....

Taking my first look at the GUI today. Holy thats one system. Can't imagine doing this non visually like the olden days.

Console question: How hard is it to navigate the inventory system on controller? A lot of the menus have been obviously made for console, inventory however, is dominated by point-and-click. However, there's quick drop and quick attach, seemingly to compensate for not being able to drag?

But all in all, how difficult is that kind of menu setup on console?

[worldly sphinx]

how do I make sizelayout min and max height work omg

max desired height and width are ignored

I want a widget to have a minimum height, maximum height, and scale horizontally to fill max available space

[warm junco]

DebriefingScreenSTatisticsTile.layout (https://enfusionengine.com/api/redirect?to=enfusion://ResourceManager/~ArmaReforger:UI/layouts/Menus/DeployMenu/DebriefingScreenStatisticsTile.layout) might be worth taking a look at? It uses a SizeLayoutWidget to set limits for both vertical & horizontal

although opening it doesn't look its entirely respected in the layout viewer, because its horizontally filling, when it should be limited at 400. When I put it in a different componente earlier it seemed to respect the limits tho

[worldly sphinx]

also GetScreenSize never works

the engine knows how tall and wide the widget is

why cant i

all elements in hierarchy give me 0 0

parent also gives me 0 0

[warm junco]

yeah not working for me either... You might be able to fudge it by creaing zero-width elements as borders and getting their x,y positions and subtracting

[worldly sphinx]

omg

guess what, GetScreenPos also returns 0 0

[warm junco]

lol

[worldly sphinx]

I see GetScreenSize used in script in a lot of places

I need to check how those widgets are setup

[warm junco]

Yeah I just checked it on the SCR_MapRTWBaseUI & SCR_MapCompassUI for the compass

• its retrieved here https://enfusionengine.com/api/redirect?to=enfusion://ScriptEditor/scripts/Game/Map/ComponentsUI/SCR_MapRTWBaseUI.c;120
• its set here https://enfusionengine.com/api/redirect?to=enfusion://ScriptEditor/scripts/Game/Map/ComponentsUI/SCR_MapCompassUI.c;135

When i run the debugger & print the values out on line 135-137 its 0,0. But once it hits the code section its retrieved at, I get real values

[worldly sphinx]

ok I dont get it lol

will do something else for a few days

this frustrates me enough to submit a feedback tracker ticket

[burnt axle]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/5D0551624969C92E @half solstice

[burnt axle]

watcha trying to accomplish?

[ashen urchin]

To Learn 😁, but the completed goal is to build a UI for a factory and a refinery.

Essentially, I want to knock out the default inventory menu, and bring in mine when at a trigger (then from there I could probably start expanding and figuring it out) - but that's been difficult for my limited skills.

[static raven]

what's wrong with it?

afaik you have to make sure that your slot is correct for it

[worldly sphinx]

I get 0 0 regardless of which widget I probe it with

which is a bug because I can see the widget have a size when I look at the UI, so I want that size

I want it to give me what I see

[static raven]

yeah but the slot has to be correct

iirc

[worldly sphinx]

if I see a widget is this wide and this tall, and this gives me 0, it's a bug

[static raven]

[worldly sphinx]

slot shouldnt matter, the engine knows how tall and wide it is because it shows it on the screen

but yeah I can try to use the appropriate slot until it's fixed

[static raven]

slots affect how things get processed, and what you have access to

[worldly sphinx]

what I want:
I see a widget, I ask the game for its size, I get its size
what happens:
I see a widget, I ask the game for its size, it lies to me saying its 0 px tall and 0 px wide

[static raven]

I checked

It should be in a Frame Widget

[worldly sphinx]

should getting size of this widget work then?

both ChartSize and Size0 get me 0

I can see the widget being larger than 0 pixels tall and wide

it probably isnt 999px as per the ruler more like 1000px

so if I ask it for its screen size and get anything different than 1000px then this is a bug

if its not bugged then I might be doing it too early

[static raven]

wrap what you want to get to in a Frame

For example, you should be able to get ChartSize screen size. but not the rest

[worldly sphinx]

yep I was doing it too early, handler attached is too early

I need to fire a call later and do it some time later

[static raven]

calling update does not help?

[worldly sphinx]

I don't really know what that is

[static raven]

ChartSizeWidget.Update()

[worldly sphinx]

I did Update and then it gave me x:0 y:153

one alternative here would be to make the canvas widget scale itself properly

but I have to scale it manually and probably every frame in case screen size changes like by resizing window

or at least I have to do it once something is drawn on it, because it ends up staying in its original place

ok doing it inside OnUpdate seems to work

I will update the FT as its my fault

I see you have been struggling with this since January at least

[worldly sphinx]

20 mins in january 20 mins today

type thing

[warm junco]

So GetSize & GetPos only work with Frames? Not any other widgets?

I don't think we've got a gui wiki yet, but could we get a comment in the Widget class

[ashen urchin]

I followed the instructions to load a GUI. I created a second one, and it loads the first one, I spent all day yesterday trying to get up 😛. Regardless, horray GUI.

[ashen urchin]

Does GUI/Reforger have image filters to apply on display objects?

[ashen urchin]

GUI auto alignment is cool 🙂

[ashen urchin]

Perhaps somebody can give me a kick in the right direction/comment on the logic. Working at this all day hasn't really got me much further.

So I want to set up a factory menu. Standard inventory to the left, factory selection in the middle, and then output/factory inventory on the right.

1. I'm guessing leveraging the existing Arsenal subtype of the inventory system and supply/cost is the best way to do the two new systems. Using the existing picture/item display, rather then re-creating with icons and buttons?

2. Where/what should I been looking for, for the code that handles the window control. Is it a Sgrid filled with inventory slots which all have their own logic? I'm kind of getting lost in the thousands of lines here.

It looks like I want to strip downed version of inventory menu UI?

Any feedback would be helpful.

[warm junco]

Any way to print a floating point to a certain precision? Like 2/3 decimal points

[formal glen]

C# has formatters, I don't have workbench or docs up but its its something like {value:D2}

I can't check right now if enfusion also has that feature.

[worldly sphinx]

rn im struggling with finding a way to block all UI input in case you know of a way I'd appreciate

[swift cosmos]

it doesn't

[worldly sphinx]

also hoping for some easy way to inject custom notifications into the notification system where I can just show any string content easily, otherwise I'll just implement a toast system but I'd rather not

I could also use chat but that's too jank

[static raven]

float someVal = 1.2587;
int decimalLenght = 2;

Print(someVal.ToString(-1, decimalLenght));

or

float someVal = 1.2587;
int decimalLenght = 2;

Print(someVal.ToString(lenDec: decimalLenght));

[static raven]

Enfusion does not use C#, not even for gamecode stuff

[warm junco]

Thank you. I had my eyes on String.Format

[worldly sphinx]

almost got this figured out but super jank

lol the notification icons are all hardcoded

u need SCR_NotificationData and u need SCR_UINotificationInfo and u need SCR_NotificationDisplayData and u need a config, like bro just make it one object with icon, color and text

[worldly sphinx]

dis what I wanted

[warm junco]

anyone have any tips for not making the ugliest GUI panel in existence? web design was never my dream

perchance, anyone have a UI they think doesn't stink and they want to share a pic of it 🥺

[ashen urchin]

What do you want a GUI of?

[warm junco]

I'm just trying to make a panel to display some info, not interactible at all, but I just want to know how other moders have made their UIs look visually

I think the only modded UI I've ever seen was the coalition squad interface

Can't wait for the day that we have a wiki page for the GUI widgets and what-not

[ashen urchin]

That's a storefront mod GUI.

[warm junco]

hmmmm ty

[ashen urchin]

No problem. And this is what I'm working on emulating.

[worldly sphinx]

doesnt matter what I do mine always look ugly anyway so whatever

[warm junco]

we're getting somewhere

[ashen urchin]

Pure fire. You mad lad.

[worn marten]

Oh yes!!!!

[worldly sphinx]

it will come with v2 admin tools, interface is currently something like

ServerAdminTools_Plugins_Notifications.Instance.SendNotification("Hello!",
  iconName: "feedback",
  iconImageSet: "{2EFEA2AF1F38E7F0}UI/Textures/Icons/icons_wrapperUI-64.imageset",
    color: ENotificationColor.NEGATIVE);

but it will also have option to send to specific player IDs not just global

just call it on server and it Just Works™️ no rpc bs

you can also just steal the implementation at that point when it releases

[worldly sphinx]

idk if this is intentional but part of the image is missing like theres holes in the camo texture

[warm junco]

Just chose a random camo so I had some contents

I don't see anything missing in it tho

[worldly sphinx]

Bro

[warm junco]

ngl I ain't seeing nun wrong wit it

[worldly sphinx]

Its a john cena joke 😦

[warm junco]

its been so long I no longer even consider him john cena, thats john zedong

Bros an entirely different being in my head

Anyone know what the PanelWidget does? / Is there a method similar to where I'd just ctrl+f over the entire solution to find where a function is used but for finding widgets in different layouts?

[worldly sphinx]

FindAnyWidget works by name so it should return what you want as long as the name matches

[warm junco]

Not sure thats exactly what i'm looking for? I'm hoping to search through all existing layouts & find ones with references to the PanelWidget, if I had the text data for all of them i'd just grep it, but I don't think thats something I can get
