enfusion_model

[pulsar sandal]

i fixed it

change tiny destructible to huge destructible

[stray bridge]

layer preset is set to terrain, use buildingfireview for the colliders and you cant pass trough anymore

YOO

@primal zealot I was working on a pre explosion Chernobyl unit 3+4 model before

[dense thicket]

How can I seperate meshes in blender to get this effect in enfusion

[brisk grotto]

Make each their own _LOD

[dense thicket]

Like this?

Cause that is not working

[brisk grotto]

How are you exporting? It may be merging them

[brisk grotto]

you aren't exporting with BIs plugin, try use that instead?

[dense thicket]

Still merging

[brisk grotto]

Odd, I thought thats all it needs. Maybe someone here knows

[dense thicket]

This was checked

[brisk grotto]

https://tenor.com/view/tkt-smart-gif-20642718

[primal zealot]

Looks great! How long did it take you to make?

[austere yew]

Oh wait

Shit

I thought I replied to someone ab my tank model

I started that model last year in August

Made a couple renders with it

I stopped working on it at about September 14th

[primal zealot]

Did you also do the interiors?

[austere yew]

Not at that time no

I was working on exterior at the time

[primal zealot]

Thought you was that one guy from reddit which did a really detailed chnpp model according to floorplans ect. Which took him over a year to make and it is still not done.
Those projects take ages

[austere yew]

I spoke to that dude before

Thatchernobylguy

I think that’s his name

[primal zealot]

Yea exactly!

[austere yew]

He made a live stream with a YouTuber with his cgi exactly outlying the explosion in real time at the same time it happened but this year instead of the 80s

[primal zealot]

Thats crazy work to behonest. But i guess that the asset would be to heavy on performance on enfusions engine

[austere yew]

Ye he was doing it in unreal engine

I actually met him through a Roblox RBMK-1000 simulator LOL

The owner is making the same game but with more accurate physics and so on in godot

[primal zealot]

I dont see the second vent stack but it still looks very good

[austere yew]

You have grid synchronisation control rods ARM etc

[austere yew]

ye I only did unit 3/4

I was moving onto unit 1/2 after

[primal zealot]

What the hell haha. Ive seen chernobyl scenarios on roblox, crazy

[austere yew]

This is the game but in godot

It has actual ORM calculations, thermal activity of the core with 3d simulations rather than 2d

[primal zealot]

Im curious if its possible to get the reactor stable again from the critical point

[austere yew]

Another amazing thing is working AR

[austere yew]

No

You see the issue was

Skala was offline

Operators should’ve recalculated the ORM

and done actual checks to see if the core was xenon poised

But given the decay chain of iodine 135 to xenon 135

It’s impossible for a xenon buildup

As it’s half life is about 5-6 hours

Power went low near midnight

They pulled control rods without following procedure to pull the core back up to power over the next hour

They did it too fast and accounted for theoretical xenon buildup

When there was non

So it slingshot into the state of criticality

Then a design flaw was the tip of the iceberg

Graphite displacers etc

Given they followed procedure it wouldn’t have happened

It’s a mix of Soviet error and operator error

Sorry for dumping that info

LOL

The second power started rising fast it was impossible to turn back

[primal zealot]

I think they said that its possible, not in the period when they pressed AZ-5 but before, like at 1Am.
Shutting down the reactor slowly and wait 24-48 hours for the xenon to decay but they raised the power again.
I mean critical moment is already when the reactor gets at very lower power and becomes unstable right

[austere yew]

Oh ye, that part was preventable

all they had to do was

check ORM

and safely and strategically remove control rods and placing them in

in various areas

I heard a rumour somewhere idk if its been proven

but apparently, toptunov was moving control rods erratically

[brisk grotto]

As much as I love a good history/chernobyl rant, can we keep this model channel on topic 🤣

[austere yew]

xd sure, I just get a little carried away sometimes and info dump out of nowhere 😭

[gaunt bane]

You set the prefab placement to “slope and contact”?

[viral geyser]

yea i think swampfox got me on the right track now, i had all of the settings set identical to base game sidewalks but they werent working the same

[idle drift]

Anyone knows how to fix this

[ornate walrus]

Assign material in blender?

[idle drift]

It has one

[quiet ledge]

Probably vertex color, if you go to the clean up section in enfusion tools it can auto remove them

[idle drift]

Thank

[delicate condor]

The vertex color seems to come up pretty often and Im curious how people are using it when it does not really have any apparent function in modeling. So how do people end up having vertex colors on their models?

[calm rune]

A lot of ripped models tend to come with vertex colors. Not accusing these people but when people would send me their models to figure out why it was "black" and I applied the texture to it, it was always a model I've seen in other games and not modded games.

[delicate condor]

[worn plover]

I use vertex color to create id maps in substance sometimes.

[haughty oasis]

Yeah vertex colour is useful for id maps but ive transitioned to using material colours for it as its easier to apply

[sly bridge]

in my 20+ years of modelling, i have used vetices colors function twice. Once because it was used by the game engine i was commissioned to do models for, and secondly for MCG script as a soft selection type thing...

i always thought that vertex paints will be used by enfusion for thermals to be fair

[delicate condor]

that could be quite cool thing. But wouldnt texture be better for being able to edit it between model versions?

[sly bridge]

of course it would be a ton better, and seems that is what BI did, although it is not fully implemented just yet game wise, there is this new entry in the material/shader parameters

[remote palm]

I mean if you use vertex colors for ID maps, you (really) should know how to remove them afterwards for export.

[burnt surge]

https://tenor.com/view/the-rock-gif-18344168505714652017

In normal case yes cause you did it

[mighty lodge]

It’s because of the attributes that are in the model

[remote palm]

If you duplicate the prefab you can remove the cargo prefab

[bold saffron]

My bullet collider is invalid, says face is degenerated on every single mesh I try using, even a cylinder with no changes other than scaling it to the appropriate shape and exporting as an fbx will give me the invalid collider face is degenerated, and then lists every single face as an issue

[remote palm]

Dunno if that is already the issue, but the faces at the tip are Ngons.
Have you also tried applying transforms?

Also, are you sure you applied the collider properties properly?
And have you tried trianulating the collider? I might be incorrect here, but i think that is also needed 🫣

[bold saffron]

i don't know how to triangulate things lol, and i think i had the collider work once, until i had to shift the actual bullet back towards 0,0,0 so it wasn't offset but /shrug

i triangulated the faces i did apply transforms, i merged the vertex at the tip too and still the same error

i'd use a capsule for the collider like the other bullets use but i don't know what to use in blender for that, the capsule blender has doesn't let me use the collider setup with EBT

[young shard]

You can add a triangulation modifier in blender.

[bold saffron]

i think the ctrl+T bind also works, i had tried the modifier but it didn't seem to like that lol

[young shard]

Well it tends to work better with quads. Since you have ngons it won't like it.

I'd recommend lowering the poly count on that as well since it's just a bullet. + Shade smooth it.

[bold saffron]

it is still broken

though now i am getting new errors, face edge shared by too my faces and convex is not closed

well i just went with a UBX to test and that worked no issue

and now i can't get interaction layers to work

wait nevermind i figured that out

[covert rune]

Hey everyone,
I was wondering if any of you are using InstaLOD Studio to create additional LODs for uniforms/clothing.

I’m completely new to LOD creation, but I’ve been reading that it’s really important for performance and optimization, especially for player-worn equipment. So I’d really like to learn how to create proper LODs correctly.

If you have any tips, recommended settings, a good workflow, or even common mistakes to avoid,

I’d really appreciate the help 😄
Thanks in advance 😉

[bold saffron]

i have a new problem lol; when following the tutorial in the weapon animation section it shows how to import the magazine into the same scene for animating, it says to apply all transforms to the empty plain axes "snap_weapon" and then parent the magazine to it. when i do that the snap_weapon moves back to 0,0,0 making the snap_weapon offset from slot_magazine, and if i try to parent the magazine not doing that it will offset the magazine backwards from where it should be
first image: no apply transforms and parent magazine to snap_weapon
second image: apply transforms to snap_weapon and parent magazine to snap_weapon, the magazine will now be ofset forward and no long aligned properly

[bold saffron]

i think a shitty way of doing it in blender would be to make a duplicate of the object and use the decimate modifier? /shrug i am sure there is maybe a better way, someone i'm sure will say if this is a bad idea or not lol

[bold saffron]

i seemed to have fixed my issue by applying the transforms to delta, and also shifted the axes to a different location and they seem to work i guess? /shrug

[muted narwhal]

Are you doing this solo or group design

[brisk grotto]

I tend to just do it in Blender, duplicate & decimate with some manual deletions

[young shard]

Just solo.

Mostly just messing around experimenting with making vehicles in Reforger.

[muted narwhal]

Are you a part of any unit that does the Warhammer theme?

[young shard]

I'm not.

Just something I did a couple months ago.

Though it seems we have a mutual friend.

If you want the model I'd be fine with giving it.

[mighty bronze]

Never apply all on empties/plain axis
Just rotation and scale

Also I usually put it at 0,0,0 anyways (or none at all given it creates a scene root anyways)

[trail hornet]

I forgot to line up my model with the world origin in blender and now when I tried to use a wheeled prefab it was a bit offset, is there anyway to fix without re importing?

Also I can’t seem to get the collision to work with the vehicle

https://youtu.be/4OTInKO2pKc?si=KfM_OtMnzwjOzhdF

this is the vehicle

[bold saffron]

just move everything closer/to 0,0,0 so it isn't offset? and then reimport it

[surreal ore]

No, you can't make changes to the model within workbench, that's what Blender is for.

[plush torrent]

Where can I learn how to make probes?

I’d like to make a pitch black box

[sage lance]

Are you reffering to interior shading, such as for buildings?

[plush torrent]

Yes

[plush torrent]

^

[sage lance]

I will dm you in a sec w/ stuff

[plush torrent]

sweet

[manic maple]

Can we modify a vehicles stock performance values in the prefab editor?

[fluid dragon]

What could be the reason why my model that i import has double the vertex count compared to my model in blender ?

[stray bridge]

it gets triangulated on import automatically

[fluid dragon]

that shouldnt change the vertex count tho should it

As Example, My wheel has 6418 Verts in Blender and in the workbench it shows 12634 Verts for whatever reason

[fluid dragon]

The Facecount/Triangle count matches btw

[brisk grotto]

It will, the engine triangulates it differently to how blender does, including adding verts where it thinks it needs them. vert count will always be higher in enfusion than blender

[fluid dragon]

so looks like it will also split up the meshes into multiple ones ?

[brisk grotto]

If you’ve got separate mesh in blender they will import separate yes

[fluid dragon]

i have them all joined into selections, but in workbench one material is getting split in like 5 meshes ?

eventhough its one selection in blender

[brisk grotto]

Hard to say without seeing your setup/output

[dense thicket]

Is there a way to view my colliders in game for helmets to see if they are updating?

[brisk grotto]

There’s an option on debug menu to view colliders or if you look at the XOB in workbench you can view collisions

[sly bridge]

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

[glacial wharf]

Howdy hey

Recently I got this gen 2 glock mod for reforger but I wanted to know how I could possibly import it into blender and it's textures

I have my enfusion blender tools set up and my workbench

[delicate condor]

No you can't take someone else's models out of the game

[glacial wharf]

Ah

What about just reforger models how do I import those into Blender?

[delicate condor]

It's model making, not model taking

[delicate condor]

You dont

[glacial wharf]

Alright then

[stray bridge]

smh

[young shard]

Learn how to make game assets is the only thing I could suggest.

[stray bridge]

good try but he already left the dc

[young shard]

Left the dc?

Oh he left the server.

Lol

[delicate condor]

While these are skills anyone can learn, not everyone has time or want to learn.

[remote palm]

Or the creativity to actually model something good ^^
I tried it for two years but never really completed anything "big"
Only my one helmet i did ^^ - harder shapes are the issue for me atleast. I tried an Opel Blitz for Reforger, but the cabin i am breaking down at...

[midnight path]

almost done

[delicate condor]

it does take some practise to find good workflow that fits your thought process

you got great model going there already

[sage lance]

In general, I think texturing skills are more important than modeling skills, at least in regards to looks (not performance). I know I’m biased considering I haven’t created my own model before, but based on all the assets I’ve worked with, a great looking model with god-awful texturing is a lot worse than a mediocre model with great textures. Though, there is definitely some overlap with those skills due to the requirement of a normal map

That being said, still love high quality models, which your truck certainly is

[shell hedge]

To be fair if your model sucks then so will the texture (maybe indirectly)

[plush torrent]

Depends

If your models looks bad because of your intentions for optimization and doing more with textures then it doesn’t really apply

[brisk grotto]

In this day and age of technology for modelling the bigger problem is making good looking but optimised models. Anyone can follow a doughnut tutorial on YouTube but end up with a few million verts, the art is in taking the concept and making it lower poly.

[sage lance]

🤦‍♂️

Couple things. Not right channel. And you can’t pay ppl to mod within the enfusion tools per BIs EULA. Your mod will get removed. Not trying to be mean; just letting you know

But you can pay ppl to make models and texture as long as all of that is done outside of the workbench

[summer owl]

Understand u my friend but im looking for someone take a project of my server and be our dev

[calm rune]

Hard surface might be more forgiving but organic isn’t. If you have a shit looking highpoly you’ll have a shit looking model after texturing.

[burnt surge]

Nope wrong, you can make a bad model and make it good and cool looking with a great unwrap and neat texture work. You can also make a perfect model and texture it with smart UV project by Blender and it will look like trash at the end cause edges etc wont fit to each etc.. even bad texture work can ruin your great model at all.. at the end for visual purpose the texture artist will decide if your model will look good or bad.

[calm rune]

You are 50% right. Refer to what I said above your comment.

[burnt surge]

You still can manually "repair" the trashy highpoly model when you paint the normal map manually instead of baking the trash. You also can safe a lot if texture work gets manually done, wont look perfect at all but not that worse without textures 😅.. You are right about organic stuff this might be more difficult to make it looking good at all but if its like that most texture artits will say you got to redo or improve what you did. When you do all by yourself, its more or less a skill issue, so you will redo it anyway when you have gained more skills in stuff.. no master has fallen from the sky 🤪

[shell hedge]

I was thinking also about bad topo making it texture bad and look bad

[delicate condor]

cant pay for that

tools are non commercial use only.

I would assume you dont want to waste money on banned mod

[delicate condor]

U need to be your dev if you want to have server with custom mods

thats the whole thing

[obsidian grail]

made some combat clothing, zbrush and marvelous

was photo scanned too

[obsidian grail]

💯

[remote palm]

ty - maybe at some day ill get my head around the cabin - but till today i just havent.. 🙁

[calm rune]

How did you use photo scanned data in marvelous?

[obsidian grail]

scann- retopo- import marvelous convert to garment simulate etc

[calm rune]

I don’t understand the logic behind that. You have a scanned mesh that is already a highpoly. All you have to do it retopo, bake then texture. Can we see the MD version? I’m intrigued.

[obsidian grail]

Well when i scanned it, it had some odd creases and they were barely any too and i wanted to try something new so i imported it into marvelous and simulated it to have more wrinkles then baked in marmo with original scann textures

[calm rune]

Can we see it though? This is gonna blow my mind lol

[obsidian grail]

Yes, i can post later just out rn

[calm rune]

Aight cool

[delicate condor]

first stop at #rules to learn about our stance on crossposting same thing on multiple channels

[young shard]

Very nice looking though.

Marvelous is so... Marvelous.

[urban needle]

Hey guys, I’m hoping you can help me out. My building has this issue where outside light leaks in (you can see it in the pic highlighted in blue). When you get closer it fixes itself.

It’s just a visual bug, but it makes the model look off. Anyone know what’s going on? Thanks!

[brisk grotto]

Your model isn’t fully sealed in either the LOD it’s using for shadows, or your box volume if you’ve made those.

[void sluice]

so every building has a env probe which tells the engine to render interior lighting and make it darker its the reason why when you look into a building window at day its completly dark from the inside

[calm rune]

👀

[devout dune]

This looks great

[civic holly]

Wait…. You can convert an existing mesh into a simulated on in MD???? How did I not know this!!!

[uneven vessel]

Yes super cool

Will give this a try later

[calm rune]

You can but you need to have it UVd then you need to stitch all the seams together in MD. It’s quite messy. You also will loose all original shape the moment you hit simulation which is why I’m curious to how it achieved what he said. I’ve been using MD for over 4 years and what he is saying just doesn’t make sense to me which is why I want to see what he did.

The picture he posed also doesn’t look like a lowpoly but just the high poly with a texture over it.

[obsidian grail]

https://tenor.com/view/the-simpsons-homer-simpson-good-bye-bye-no-gif-16925608232308805852

[calm rune]

Yeah so original image is not the lowpoly

[obsidian grail]

yes it is? just used marmo to bake the textures

[calm rune]

No it’s not. I’ve been doing this for 8 years. The first picture you post has much more geometry then that very secretive 1/4 of a shirt you just posted.

[obsidian grail]

it's the exact same one i've shown in the first picture, we can go to a vc if you want, i'll show you 🙃

[calm rune]

Look at your pocket flap geo on the first image and then on your retopo. Ones a complete flat surface and the other isn’t. Doesn’t matter how good of a bake you get it will not have that protruding with a complete flat surface. Again the first image isn’t just the highpoly with a texture over it. I could pick out so many more areas on this but I’m not gonna waste my time lol.

Just to clean up any confusion what I am saying is that the first image you posted is not your lowpoly model. It is just a highpoly with textures.

[obsidian grail]

ohh that's not the full retopo i made the pockets and other parts separate...

[half marlin]

Did you ever get an answer on this. I am also curious

[paper mantle]

Not really. Some of it is created from blender. Otherwise you can place your logos on the actual skins of the vehicles, buildings, weapons etc.

[half marlin]

Thats what I had been doing is what your video from 7-8 months ago had done

[obsidian grail]

👀

[half marlin]

• Create Decal Entity,
• Create a emat with your image,
• Apply emat to the mat section in the entity,
• Turn off terrain only,
• Nest the entity within the object you are applying it to,
• Profit

EDIT: Of course move/scale/transform as needed to fit your taste

[paper mantle]

Cheers mate

[surreal oracle]

damn

soon tm figuring out textures :{

[slate stump]

Hello I have a quick question. I'm considering making a building pack for my map. I plan on using free 3D assets I find on the web I was just wondering if there's anything special I need to do before uploading them and publishing the building pack?
Do I need to set any special licensing or do anything in the bio specifically?

[stray bridge]

Depends on the license of the models ur getting. Just read the license 🙂
Also make sure its not some ripped stuff

[slate stump]

From what I can tell reading the description of this it seems it can be used without any problems but is this something that is safe?. https://free3d.com/3d-model/watch-tower-made-of-wood-94934.html

[stray bridge]

its pretty obvious displaying license for personal use, what this includes you have to check for urself on the side and figure it out

[cold zinc]

Im sure its been asked a billion times,
but why the further I go out the leaves for my tree just shrink up and dissappear, what setting am I missing here.

how its supposed to look lol.

[stray bridge]

use opacity map instead of alpha

[cold zinc]

Elaborate cause as far as I am aware I am using the opacity map

[cold zinc]

Cant seem to figure it out

[stray bridge]

ur not using alpha bias?
maybe try to use a black and white opacity map

did this like 2 years ago so I might not have the solution to ur problem

treecrown has some spefics im not aware abt rn I would need to check it out myself again :/

[civic holly]

I recently had the same issue with my cam netting.

I resolved it by changing the sort by setting in the material. I can’t remember off the top of my head which one I used but there’s only 4 or 5 options so test each one out.

[civic holly]

Also… I’m curious, is it a gum tree?

[cold zinc]

Exactly what im using lol, I have had this issue in the past and now cant remember for the life of me what I did to fix it.

[cold zinc]

I will give it a shot.

[cold zinc]

acacia

[olive fern]

try increasing alpha mul and/or the other alpha option below

If the issue persist you may have to use a matbasicpbr sadly idk

[obsidian grail]

how did this go?

[surreal oracle]

textures?

[obsidian grail]

yes

[surreal oracle]

i kinda gave up and started on making some wizard drip

[obsidian grail]

wizard drip 😭 hows that coming along man?

[surreal oracle]

alright so far! il post a showroom image once done!!

[obsidian grail]

nice man, ping me i wanna see how this comes out 🙃

[cold zinc]

Ive been looking into it, trying to figure out what is different.

this is the only option on the image texture file that is different.

and I believe this is the reason why my leaves dissappear at distance.

However I cannot figure out how to remove the alpha channel

[cold zinc]

Its gotta be the image texture file cause I replace my opacity file with a vanilla base game one and it works fine, no more disappeary leaves.

using mine breaks it.

[brisk grotto]

Like Ben said opacity maps supposed to be greyscale not black/red like your current one. Change the red to white and try again

[cold zinc]

Casey it is white for me.
there were two version one red cause on one import it turned the white areas red.

and the second one on import is just white.

Neither of them work.

Im also using substance painter.

This, This does not work.

theres still a alpha channel or something attached to it.

[cold zinc]

also the error it spits out at me.

if theres a naming convention im unaware of.

Currently set it as Acacia_A and that still doesnt work so im utterly stumped.

[leaden chasm]

you are welcome

Also sliders below do something but i don't remember what exactly

[cold zinc]

I love you, will give it a shot here in a few.

[brisk grotto]

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

That table at the bottom of this page lists all the suffixes, if you're dragging and dropping a png in to convert it make sure the suffix is right as it reads that to define import settings

[cold zinc]

It worked thank you so much my man

[leaden chasm]

That was my pain and tears

[leaden chasm]

Also try different foliagealpha modes and sliders, maybe you can get better results.

[cold zinc]

will do

[civic holly]

Hey lads, is there any tutorials on Tree imports? I've had a dive through the wiki and cant find much.

I have the tree model in with correct colliders etc (matching vanilla colliders) and prefabs setup the same as vanilla. However they don't sway and move like the original ones do so I assume I have missed something along the way. The original games tress dont have bones but they also dont have morphs so im curious how they did it.

[cold zinc]

click change class,

Then choose PBRTreeCrown For the leaves
and PBRTreeTrunk For the Base Trunk of the Tree.

Shader magic

you ever get around to this?

[uncut idol]

Hi, I am trying to use the Blender addon, I have Workbench Running with the NET API on and the Port configured correctly in Blender + workbench, the options that need the NET api also work, however all things Like exporting/saving Materials give me the Message that it needs to be Inside an Active addon, Even when saving Inside the Open addon folder, why is that Happening?

[sweet onyx]

I get this error all the time, save your project from the top left and relaunch your project and it will fix this

[uncut idol]

In Blender or the workbench?

[sweet onyx]

Workbench, save workbench close it relaunch and reimport

[uncut idol]

Okay, I will try that, thank you!

[sage lance]

Can anyone explain what the 'static' layer of the "Building" collider type does within the context of the Enfusion engine. I am trying to get a better understanding of it so that I can more accurately determine the level of detail that I must include in my structure's BuildingView/Building collider(s). I know the building collider should be as simple as possible while preserving the building's overall shape. That said, I have some large columns that have some relatively large, detailed parts that jut out. I don't know whether to include them in the building collider or keep them out to reduce the vert/tri count.

I plan to make a separate, far more detailed FireGeo collider

[trail hornet]

How do I import a model and make it appear in GM? I can get the fbx in the workbench fine

Like say I wanted to import a wall

[sage lance]

Just to clarify, you’ve already successfully imported the model into Enfusion from Blender?

[worn plover]

open up a building .xob in the editor and look at its colliders. i believe they use a UTM for fire geometry aka bullet holes. and for actual physical collisons it will be simple planes i think dont quote me just go look

[sage lance]

Again, I understand all of that and have been actively looking at base game assets for reference. That's not my question though. Im just kinda wondering how much detail I should be adding to the building collider such that player collision is best while minimizing the vert/tri count

I guess I can just test it as I go. And try to just use cube shapes rather than conforming to every large edge on the columns. The base game models sometimes just make me think I should be adding more detail than is neccesary. Like some of the base game structures have building colliders where a fence is fully detailed whereas others have fences that are just made of cubes

[surreal ore]

Detailed enough to work but also not cause issues.

That is on a per model basis.

[sage lance]

Got it. Thx!

[worn plover]

again they list the vert counts in workbench

[surreal ore]

ALL colliders should be as primitive as possible.

[worn plover]

farmhouse BD is a tenth the verts that its LOD0 is

[sage lance]

Well the building im working on has a lot more exterior detail that juts out compared to any of the base game models, so there is no base game asset that I can directly reference the vert count to. But I get your point

At least not on a 1:1 scale

[worn plover]

your building looks like the church

[worn plover]

go look at how the church colliders are done

[sage lance]

Good reference. Hadn't considered the church yet

[surreal ore]

If you're questioning how to do this that much, watch some videos about "game ready assets" specifically the colliders.

I'm sure there are plenty on youtube.

[worn plover]

nobody considers the church and look at the state of modern society

[trail hornet]

yes

[sage lance]

Well now Im pissed b/c i've done like a days work attaching the exterior detail to mesh rather than keeping that detail and the buildings shape as seperate b/c the wiki said the best practice for making structure colliders was to make a single trimesh

[trail hornet]

I've read them

it has collidesrs

how do i make it so i can place it with zeus

[sage lance]

Place asset in GM, go to the side list and find your asset in the world, drag it from the list back into your resource maanger to create prefab (name it)

[surreal ore]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Game_Master:_Editable_Entities_Configuration

[sage lance]

You'll need to add all of the applicable components for a prop to your prefab

[trail hornet]

what so make a world?

[surreal ore]

Or just read the link I posted last

[sage lance]

Or you can duplicate a preexisting prop and just replace its .xob with your own, which will bypass the need to manually add the required components since it will already have them

[sage lance]

Yeah you should prob read that or watch a tutorial

[trail hornet]

it is big and weird

[sage lance]

I have no refrence

[surreal ore]

It's the size that you imported it as

[trail hornet]

it si the right size lol

[sage lance]

The opacity associated with the material is causing it to appear that way

[trail hornet]

ah

[sage lance]

One sec

[trail hornet]

if i remove it then it stops being see through

[sage lance]

I know

Play with these settings

Keep the opacity map

[trail hornet]

thank you

it is beautiful

so from here how do I make it so it's placeable

I can't find any good tutorials

[sage lance]

Read wiki links from Zelik so you understand what your doing as youll gain more that way. Then once your done with that, do what I previous said

[trail hornet]

I read them

oh wait

[sage lance]

Or skip the wiki and do what I said. But you will not learn much that way

[trail hornet]

I will do both

[trail hornet]

what existing prop would be best to duplicate?

[sage lance]

I assume your model is a fence. Find a fence prop

[surreal ore]

What you said doesn't include registering it so it's actually placable via gm mode.

[worn plover]

i thought its was a cheese grater

[sage lance]

You can place an .xob in GM mode, right?

[surreal ore]

Doesn't matter if all the components are there, if it isn't actually registers to be placeable

You can only place things that are placeable.

And no, you can't place xobs

Only prefabs that are registered..

[sage lance]

I placed an .xob

[surreal ore]

That's world editor

[surreal ore]

That isn't GM mode

[worn plover]

ye and look at the components list on the right. it instantly becomes an entity

[sage lance]

ah didn't mean to say GM then

[worn plover]

drag it back into the folder to save it

[surreal ore]

He asked about GM mode though.

[trail hornet]

I have found a fence and duplicated it

I'ts in the chainlink folder under prefab

[surreal ore]

#enfusion_model message

[sage lance]

Yeah but hes got to make a prefab first to create an editable prefab, which can then be added to the gm list

[surreal ore]

And the wiki article explains it.

[sage lance]

And I told him to read it. Im not disagreeing

[trail hornet]

so do i get the thing i duplicated and give it my mesh?

I think I've made the prefab

Would this now work if i made this a mod?

also what does this mean?

[sage lance]

Sry, I can't keep helping you (and another person via DM) and work on my model in Blender at the same time. Read wiki. If you havent figured it out by the end of the night, ill explain more

[short marsh]

that looks really familiar, where do i recognise that building from?

[sage lance]

Ignore that

[sage lance]

How should I know. I paid for it from a reputable artist on FAB. I always do background checks on any model I purchase, so I hope your not accusing me of using stolen assets

[sage lance]

Srysly. I got $1k in purchased models in my mods. I'm not risking using content that could get me banned

[short marsh]

oh hell nah, no accusations. i always believe innocence unless proven otherwise

i meant the building itself looks familiar

i cant pinpoint it tho

[trail hornet]

why does the prefab have no collision?

[short marsh]

either no colliders or its still a xob in nature (aka no rigid body etc etc)

[trail hornet]

it says rigid body is inactive

[sage lance]

Well if you do actually learn that its a stolen model, pls let me know. Like actually. I try to do significant background checks via reverse image searches and looking at games that it could have possibly come from, but its not always full proof. Ive had to remove a model I was working on once before (early on when I began modding) after someone told me he thought it was stolen. The models he thought it were wasn't it. But it got me to do more searching, and I discovered it was from an old Modern Warefare map. After that, I dont trust artists without reputable catalog and artstation portfolio

Model never got uploaded to base game. That was good timing too. I was just about to begin the LODs for that model (crashed Mi-24) prior to the heads up from that person

[short marsh]

thats kinda why i started making my own models, trusting in other people selling assets or including dependecies in my mod can always lead to me getting shafted lol

[sage lance]

It takes so much time though. In fact, my mods try to solve this issue for map makers. I make prop mods for map makers so that they dont have to learn all about modding in assets and creating/purchasing their own (ie, I dont make my mods for myself (ie, server or map))

[short marsh]

Yaniv station is what it reminded me off, its the closest i could find honestly

[short marsh]

looks at my as close to 1:1 model of the 121-60-25 building from pripyt trust me i know 😭 shit was 2 months so far, mostly research and whatnot

[sage lance]

Well Im sure it was inspired by Yanov (and Chernobyl). The majority of his portfolio is abandoned soviet buildings and props

[sage lance]

Well your apartment looks great (based on your prior photos). Cant wait to see it textured

[short marsh]

fucking hell its probably some random ass town called Shuntsyuvisk or something with a population of 5, in the middle of siberia and youd find that type of building 😭

[trail hornet]

it cant be this hard to import a fence

im done

[sage lance]

Yeah, modding is way more time consuming to learn and difficult then it seems at the onset. Proof of my point as to why I try to make props so that ppl dont have to learn this shit considering how difficult it can be to learn at first

[short marsh]

enfusion makes it seem alot easier than it is for beginners especially

once it clicks its super fun tho

[trail hornet]

I just want one tutorial or one person to run me though how to get a prop in from start to finish

Like I thought there would be more

[short marsh]

alot of people (not everyone) who managed to get through the initial slugfest of modding dont feel like helping newcomers because you usually get the idea guys that request you to do absolutely everything for them, people who just dont listen, or who only see you as a means to an end and are rude as shit towards the person helping them

as for video tutorials you can check out swampfox on youtube

he covered alot of diffrent things, maybe he has one up

[sage lance]

I actually checked his videos already to see if he had one for this. He doesn't (at least not for 2nd part of what he will need to do, which is add the finished prefab to GM)

Though if he gets that far, I can explain that process. The wiki is shit on that subject

[surreal ore]

No it's not. Just read it and do what it says. Pretty simple in fact.

[sage lance]

It tis'. I've read it before when trying to learn. Learned far more from this discord on how to do it (specifically EditablePrefabs) then I did from that wiki

[short marsh]

the wiki is sometimes hit or miss imo

[surreal ore]

I guess that's a matter of opinion.

[sage lance]

Well I will say that its def not an amazing source for learning interior shading. I've had 4 ppl dm me for help regarding it b/c the wiki and SwampFox's videos weren't enough. Plus, it fails to cover a few topics, such as setting exterior/interior materials via the 'disable interior probe' setting in the .emat.

[short marsh]

some of the things kind of rely on a base level of understanding and most people that started modding with reforger have absolutely fuck all of that majority of the time so youre kinda just sitting there reading a wall of text which feels randomly throws in words in vietnamese

my experience atleast

[surreal ore]

You know the most amazing source for learning most things though? The game and all of the assets that are supplied to you. They are all working examples. All you have to do is look at them. Being here since the day the game dropped, I can tell you for a fact that I have learned more from the game than any external source.

[sage lance]

True. But you cant learn about BSP in game bc its not accessable

[short marsh]

works if you know what youre looking at tho

[sage lance]

Doesn't matter. Im not looking for an argument. Ppl have their opinions on the matter. I just want to work on my model

[trail hornet]

Why is the only resource the driest wiki article that usually misses a few bits

Like for arma 3 it was hell and I thought moving to reforger would mean more stuff

I just want this fence in 😭

[surreal ore]

The wiki article for what you're doing isn't missing any bits.

[sage lance]

That part is true THP801

But it is difficult to understand some of it without context, especially if using the workbench for the first time without any prior modding experience. Alright, no more type from me. I shut down discord.

[brisk grotto]

You can see the BSPs in workbench? 🤷‍♂️

[brisk grotto]

Reforger is nicer than arma 3, more streamlined and industry standard stuff

[olive fern]

How? I think you might be mixing it up with Boxvol_n which can be seen when putting down a probe.

[brisk grotto]

Nope not mixing it up, you can look at the XOB and see it under colliders

[sage lance]

Are you sure? I've never seen that before and just double-checked one of my models that has a working BSP and cannot find it under the .xob's collider tab. Can you show me what your talking about.

[slate stump]

This got me to where I needed to be. As for having a GM placable object if you open one in the workbench from vanilla you can see there is a component added you can add to your prefab too.

https://youtu.be/JRcm75FfYig

[sage lance]

Your description is going to cause more confusion for him then benefit. Its called an editable prefab, which is a specific prefab variant intened for game master. He first needs to create a regular prefab that contains the proper components for a prop (as well as create colliders and LODs for the .xob in Blender). Then, he'd click on the prefab in the resource manager such that its highlighted and click Ctrl+Shift+U to generate an editable prefab based on the regular prefab variant. Next, he will need to fill in the required components for the editable prefab; they will automatically be added when generated but he still needs to fill in things such as UI name, description, etc, and added the white prop outline that appears when placing an object in GM. After all that, he needs to 'override' the "EditablePrefabsConfig.conf" file, open it, and add his editable prefab to the list that appears.

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Game_Master:_Editable_Entities_Configuration

[slate stump]

Alright clearly you know a lot more than I do. I was just trying to be helpful. That tutorial is useful at the very least.

[sage lance]

I'm not trying to put you down. Just want to prevent potential confusion

[slate stump]

Actually you just answered a lot of questions I had because I haven't actually gone through the process of doing it yet but I wanted to make a pack soon for the server I'm on.

[olive fern]

Well, please share a screenshot.

[worn plover]

I'm like 99 percent sure you can show bsp with debug tool

But I'm at work so I cannot provide example

[brisk grotto]

I’ll dig it out when I’m on my computer later. Worst case like dusty says it’s also in the debug tools

[wary crest]

Hello guys, I am planning to use some items from sketchfab I stuck on when importing models from blender into workshop How does one properly Re-texture the texture of the clothing or item to match the look of the textures that Arma reforge haves? So the custom clothing I make or use from sketchFab looks like it belongs in the video game texture wise. If anyone has advice or even a video that you can suggest, please let me know. Here is a picture of a jacket I want to use.

[brisk grotto]

People learn to texture idk it's not that complex in the grand scheme of things but like everything it's learning the skills not just grabbing a model online and slapping it in. Most people here use Substance painter to make textures

[wary crest]

Ah okay so substance painter is basically the main tool I will need to use to properly re-texture an object to make it have the same “look” that the clothing textures have in arma. By any chance do you know of a video I can look for on YouTube that can guide me at least to where I need to start? Everything I look related Arma reforge related for retexturing is just mainly how to change the vanilla texture camo of an asset into something completely else which I’ve learned so far. If not do not worry thank you for the information you’ve told me. I was questioning if I needed substance painter or not in the first place.

[brisk grotto]

Theres litterally thousands of guides and videos online if you google to learn how to use substance painter, it's not reforger specific. You can't use it to edit base game stuff only custom models. Once you get your head around the tool theres export templates pinned in this channel to get them in the reforger format

[wary crest]

Ah OK, so I just was pretty much searching up the wrong guide videos, I was mainly looking on how to re-texture on workshop did not know that substance painter was something I needed. But I just realized it isn’t free I’m going to go have to look for an alternative. Thank you for your advice and info. Maybe one day I’ll be able to afford that program. Lol for what I want to do could I possibly do it on blender? If so, that’s all I need to know and I will somehow figure it out. Google search is giving me mixed answers and I just need a straight one. Lol

[brisk grotto]

There are ways to do it on Blender but it's a bit more messy IMO

Instamat is a free alternative to subtance but it's a lot more complex

[wary crest]

OK, that’s good to know that’s possible. I have managed to turn a doughnut into a mech I’m sure I’m able to figure out this . Btw By complex, do you mean the spiderweb of nightmares of attaching plug-ins into another plug-in into another one? For both blender and Instamat.

[brisk grotto]

Substance is so popular in part because they've nailed the simplicity of putting model in, dong textures, AO etc and exporting it in whatever formats you need. Blender and InstaMat are less plug and play you kinda need to set a lot more stuff manually to get what you want

[haughty oasis]

If you are a student you can get substance for free

Not sure if that helps

[wary crest]

Yeah, I see what you mean. I’ve been watching videos while messaging, I see how easy it is and less headache, headaches compared to the other two programs. Looks like I’m either gonna either bite the bullet spend 25 bucks for one month spend an unhealthy amount of editing then cancel my subscription lol or learn the hard way. Thank you for taking your time to explain some of this to me i’m new to the re-texturing part of stuff so trying to figure out where I should start it was difficult.

[wary crest]

Thank you very much. That does actually help me if I end up getting government aid for school, sadly, though I am not in college because I am too broke to go to college too 🤣🤣🤣🤣 still good advice if anyone else sees this if they go to college

[shell hedge]

3d modeling and texturing skills are general and get those first then figure out how to put it in the game

[young shard]

There is no one video that will teach you how to match the Reforger "look" in terms of textures. It takes time and skill to create all those 3d assets in Reforger from which you will need to learn yourself to get the look you want. There are thousands of videos and tutorials online that you can use to learn to be a better texture artist so I'd recommend just doing your research and developing your skills.

There really is no straight answer for this kind of thing.

[brisk grotto]

Is there a way we can mirror/flip a texture against it's UVs within Enfusion? I know I can in Blender but that would require separate xobs for whats essentially the same thing. I know I can offset/rotate I just dont see mirror

[young shard]

I can't imagine Reforger would have such a thing.

[burnt surge]

Maybe somehow with shapekeys and morphing script

[brisk grotto]

Guess I'll just stick with two xobs then, not worth that effort to try be slightly more space efficient

[chrome crater]

Im in the making of a few backpacks. These are my first backpacks and i totaly struggle and the soulder straps. Im not a real Waightpaint pro at Blender. Does anyone have an idea how do i fix it? Do i need to remove any bones or waights or add waights... i am total stuck...

[brisk grotto]

Depends on the type of backpack model but usually you can get away with just weighting it to one of the spine bones, it doesn't always need to move with the rest of the body

[chrome crater]

Uhh just spine bone. Ok i try that.

[burnt surge]

Spine5 works fine for me, you could try

[chrome crater]

crazy ass Nice 😄

[burnt surge]

Its a bit a special thing yes 😅.. automated sentry gun as backpack, while you wear it you got one barrel of it as shoulder mounted automated cannon and when you put the sentry gun backpack to surface you can assemble it to a automated sentry gun (2 barreled)

[chrome crater]

wait a minute... There is a freaking star wars mod or stuff? xD

[burnt surge]

No its Command & Conquer Tiberian Sun related mod, but that backpack stuff is a own idea i did already in Arma 3

[chrome crater]

Bro wtf!

[loud kayak]

Hey guys, I'm having an issue with the Hiding option in the BaseLoadoutClothComponent.
When I remove the vest, the polo underneath doesn't reappear in the TAB inventory menu. However, on the character itself everything displays correctly — the polo reappears normally in-game. The issue is purely visual in the TAB menu.
For context, the polo is registered as a Jacket slot and the motorcycle vest is registered as a Vest slot. The polo has a Hiding entry targeting the motorcycle vest, which works correctly in-game.

Any help would be appreciated!

[burnt surge]

Its a bug, looks like you did it right, i got the same issue with pants and jacket

[chrome crater]

Hey, im a little stuck in here... what can i try? How do i fix the Thumbnail request timeouts?

[sly bridge]

not possible afaik

[spiral hedge]

How can i lerp a BOXVOL only on one side? If i make it bigger, my building is black on the outside, but with less lerp, there is a black line when moving through the door.

Something I would like to do, is reconfigure the side turrets to be fixed forward and controlled by the pilot.

I understand how to add a weapon slot facing forward. But i dont know how to attach it to the mounted gun model and then rotate the top part forward.

The case catch needs rotated forward.
How can I configure the bone for the turret mount to rotate the top forward at init or by component?

[sage lance]

Does anyone know what the difference between a material collider with no unit, "unit" , and "unit min" is (e.g., wood vs. wood 50mm vs. wood 50mm min)? I obviously understand that it denotes the material collider's thickness, which will effect bullet penetration for Fire collider types. But is the no unit ("wood") the thinnest option or would that be the collider with the smallest unit ("wood 10mm")? And is the min (ie, minimum) the thicker option for the same unit the thicker to the two options?

Ever since I started creating mods half a yr ago, I assumed that the no unit option is the thinnest and the min option is the thicker option between same unit options. Just looking for confirmation as to whether that is correct

[white garden]

My colliders refuse to work and it's dirving me nuts, I've tried UBX, UCX, UTM, XOB and nothing will let me get collisions to correctly function. I need help

they show up in the engine, but I can still walk through it, and everything else goes through them aswell

[nova pagoda]

Do you have the colliders component on the entity?

[plush torrent]

show your prefab

[white garden]

?

[burnt surge]

BuildingFireView

[plush torrent]

does your prefab have a rigid body component?

[white garden]

yup, I have that

[burnt surge]

I see only Building

[white garden]

omg

thank you

why did it not have a rigid body I won't know

[burnt surge]

Then go to your Component "RigidBody" and select checkbox "Model Geometry"

[plush torrent]

haha no worries

[olive fern]

And?

[cosmic wren]

Do anyone know how to make clothes?

[thick cloak]

Make 2 separate boxes, one side cutted

[sly bridge]

yes, why?

[brisk grotto]

Forgot about this, I was tripping balls it’s not on the colliders but you can use the debug menu when previewing the XOB to show it

[olive fern]

how? you mind showing me?

Hey guys,

I'd like to implement visible holstered pistols on the character's hip — similar to how rifles are visually slung on the back or chest when not in hand. Would anyone happen to have any idea about this?

I’d be asking in the scripting channel

[loud kayak]

okay thanks 🙂

if anyone wants these boots you can have the 3d model and textures for free just dm me you can change them to what ever you want 🙃

[wicked lance]

Hello everyone, I need help
I’ve tried many ways to weight paint my clothes in Blender, but it’s hard
Does anyone know how to do it?

[obsidian grail]

this might help

you can use this for 3d too

[wicked lance]

Thanks🙏🏽

[uncut idol]

Is there any guide how you can create custom attachments for helicopters?
Like a custom mount for a custom weapon in? With blender

[trail hornet]

I have a turret with 2 parts and UV maps, should i export it as 2 seperate FBX's?

[delicate condor]

just remember you cant use real product names or logos and such without permission

[delicate condor]

no, nothing that specific.

first you start from learning model making and texturing and such though

[uncut idol]

So you just have to guess the shapes etc? Because you obv. cannot open the reforger assets in blender

[delicate condor]

some things you might attach in way that you finetune their position in the prefab in Workbench

and making things in real scale usually works as Arma things are made in relatively real scale

you can also create a dimension helper object you can finetune first by series of imports into workbench and matching rough size with whatever you want to measure

[uncut idol]

Thanks for the tips 😄

[obsidian grail]

yeah there's none of that sort on there, it's just my name and a random design i made and who ever wants them like i said can change it to what ever they want

final with sharpness mask

[fierce kraken]

For scale I use an FBX i saved of the character that comes with the weighting sample from the github.

[keen fossil]

There should be a “building base” entity which is a box when you place if. Replace its xob with yours, then save it as prefab. It should have all the minimum requirements for a building.

[vale pond]

anyone know what component to add to get access to a previewrender attribute for just a generic item?

[cold zinc]

so uh update broke my trees?

why is it doing this lol

[brisk grotto]

What PBR is your material using?

[cold zinc]

tree was legit working fine before 1.7

textures are fucked now and I cannot seem to fix it

[brisk grotto]

Do you have multiple UVs? Maybe it’s changed which one it’s looking at

[cold zinc]

how would I change that in reforger

they shouldnt have switched uvs, only have the 1

no idea whats up, even re imported the assets

[glacial osprey]

when making a cockpit is there anything you can do to stop the exposure from getting funky and boosting like crazy bc of the large amount of dark values on the screen?

[cold zinc]

I would assume, occluders.

similiar to how interiors work.

well if anyone else has issues with their trees lmk, not sure whats going on with mine.
cant seem to reimport them or anything to get the materials to work.

its like it has a overlayed material over it.

[civic holly]

It’s not vertex colours on the model is it?

Oh wait you mentioned the update so I assume it was fine prior

[cold zinc]

it is vertex colors, but had no issues prior.

ill actually have to check the model I use tree it and it generates the models a certain way

[civic holly]

I’ve always had issues with vertex colours man. I’ve always had to remove them before import

Just reexport from blender after you clear

[sly bridge]

game doesn’t use vertex colors, you should remove before export/import

[cold zinc]

where is the um vertex colors located in blender?

[sly bridge]

why would you have them then?

[cold zinc]

as stated earlier I use treeit to generate the trees

it generates the models a certain way

on export.

[civic holly]

Here

[cold zinc]

thank you I assumed it was that

[sly bridge]

weird…

[cold zinc]

How's that weird?

vertex colors were indeed the issue

thank you gentleman

[civic holly]

Tree it uses vertex colors for reference on wind animations. So I get how it happened

[sly bridge]

not sure what it is used for

[cold zinc]

the wind animations, normally its used for ue5

well ue in general

[sly bridge]

cool, in general for game engines vertex colors is not really used, hence the question

it might be used for baking purposes / setting up maps etc but that’s about it

[cold zinc]

yeah thats what I believe its used for I just never really use it for that matter cause shaders are easier done by hand lol

interesting that the update just now caused issues for me

[sly bridge]

fair enough. in general if colora imported are anything but white before assigning material the issues is almost always vertex colors

[sly bridge]

neah, it always been the case

[cold zinc]

I swear ive never had issues in the past with it lol

[brisk grotto]

Whoever in BI added the panel to see BSP etc in the xob I love you

[worn plover]

YEOOOO

HUGE

[odd goblet]

anyone have any idea why many of my imported clothing models are now animated in the inventory previews when "preview worn model" is selected? previews of these items were working fine before today's update, but I can't figure out what changed

[young shard]

Vertex colors are used a good bit in most UE games for environmental art.

[mystic jungle]

Hello, I wanted to ask if anyone can help me make my mask transparent, that is, transparent on the inside but not on the outside.

[brittle osprey]

Once basic textures are assigned and visible in Resource Manager viewport, there is still one more thing to do, which will hide headgear in first person view . To do so, perform following steps

• Assign HeadClipping_A.edds texture to Opacity Map

• Enable both Allow User Alpha Bias & Disable User Apha in Shadow properties

From the BI wiki

[brisk grotto]

Clarification here, if your hiding the whole thing for first person you don’t need a head clipping alpha

[mystic jungle]

thank you

[sage lance]

Nice! I can finally view my BSPs, portals, and volumes in engine

[forest fossil]

Having same issue, all models are now suddenly animated and take animations from a character which looks bizarre, disabling any options doesnt work. Hell, even if you copy vanilla prefab and use as a base its still animated even though it works fine for vanilla assets

[eager warren]

i was working on a building the day before the update. seeing this yesterday made me smile.

[chrome crater]

did BI changed anything at the Character_Base model?

[odd goblet]

I think I figured this out. still double checking, but it seems like all my affected models had working skeletons, but were missing memory points. adding the missing memory points and reexporting seems to make the models behave normally in the inventory previews again

[cloud rampart]

Its a engine issue of 1.7, need a fix

[robust wraith]

Hi guys I am very new to modding . I wanted to make a Black Huey do you have any guides/tutorials I should watch or recommendations in general ?

[chrome crater]

There are many videos about reskinning. Watch them, itll help a bit. There are some mods/tools too, to extract the packed. Edds fromthe hue textures.

[fervent knoll]

guys since the udpate all my modded cars got "strange" issue like the tire sound noise even if the car is stopped, and the camera shake is terrible, anyone else got the issiue?

[hazy path]

lowkey adds a bit of life to the menu

[fervent knoll]

if someone has problem with custom cars, since the update bis touched the Pacejka, just reset them to default data

[rose yarrow]

Yes, thank you! I noticed my memory points had .001 after it, once I removed the .001 my models started to act like vanilla models.

[cold rune]

Hey i was having the same issue and this fixed it. When reimporting did it make a new .xob and not replace the old one for you by any chance?

[brisk grotto]

It will only do that if you didn’t select to overwrite the file

[forest fossil]

This doesnt work, thats what I have and preview picture is still animated, pants are running, hands moving etc. This wasnt a problem in 1.6

[rose yarrow]

What does it look like in blender?

[rose yarrow]

Can you despand the "hips" bone?

[rose yarrow]

hmmmm, despand your armature and show me your memory points

[rose yarrow]

this is what mine looks like:

[knotty cedar]

Model.

[wanton oak]

I better be able to put my face on the character model

[jagged smelt]

Hello! Is there any guide to put a gun model in Reforger?
And uniforms?

[mental onyx]

Didn't see any channel for textures, but does anybody know what shading they are using? In the Enfusion tool I see Base colour, Opacity and Normal map.

[thorny cobalt]

PBR metal rough afaik, if you mean that?
I think you might be able to switch the shader in the material

[tidal latch]

not publicly available yet, you can check samples though for some inspiration https://github.com/BohemiaInteractive/Arma-Reforger-Samples/tree/main/SampleMod_NewWeapon

[dull yew]

Yay no more smdi!

[rain wadi]

yup pbr metal rough

[bright raft]

Amazing

[rain wadi]

someone already shared a substance export present

[willow sage]

Can I have it ?

[dull yew]

[swift anvil]

Good evening, could you tell me how to convert my p3d/blender to xop please?

[leaden chasm]

a4, neat

[dull yew]

🤯

[rain wadi]

can you pin it?

[tidal latch]

I hope to have it on wiki tomorrow

[willow sage]

Thank you guys!

[tidal latch]

you can use blender plugin attached with Arma Reforger tools to import p3d and then export such model to fbx

[willow sage]

Are you trying to bring something ATM?

[tidal latch]

after that, you can import FBX in Workbench

[mental onyx]

Thing is tho, with Substance painter PBR metal rough does not have opacity. And Opacity is unsupported with PBR. So how could that be right?

[swift anvil]

I saw this plugin but I don't understand how to use it

[tidal latch]

opacity is separate mask in Enfusion

[mental onyx]

You are right, it says PBR in Enfusion on the dropdown.

[mental onyx]

How would I export an opacity map from substance then?

[tidal latch]

opacity is separate mask in Enfusion

[mental onyx]

Yeah I see, but my textures look nothing like they do in substance

[tidal latch]

and are you doing some transparent objects?

[rain wadi]

your opacity is already in a separate channel in painter (using the pbr metallic roughness alpha-blend template)

[thorn topaz]

you may have to add opacity through the texture set settings

[rain wadi]

should be there by default with this template

[mental onyx]

https://i.imgur.com/YB0UlqZ.png In Enfusion

[uneven seal]

I dont get, what is with the Roughness and Metalic?

[rain wadi]

hold on, I need to try something

[willow sage]

Guys, can you please create something like draft guide for that ?

Because its kinda confusing.

[willow sage]

Especially here

[rain wadi]

looks like your normal map is not loaded?

[delicate condor]

It might be some patience is required to wait till all the docs and samples are up

I get that in these interwebs times everyone wants to be first but there is plenty of time

[rain wadi]

@mental onyx

substance: https://i.gyazo.com/f3d25eb626f754a728d4292eb7e1b9bf.jpg
workbench: https://i.gyazo.com/7cad185ae7e3942b1f53a15a73db5706.jpg

not perfect but the normal map works for me

[swift anvil]

But how do you do? I must be stupid not knowing how to import my 3d XD

[mental onyx]

Maybe its because my normal map is the one I used for A3?

Probably not. I will have to look into it tomorrow

[knotty cedar]

I might be able to assist with some of this tomorrow

[rain wadi]

probably, try to export it using the preset that reyhard sent earlier

[bright raft]

Normal map is DirectX or OpenGl

?

[rain wadi]

DirectX

[uneven seal]

How can I open the xob file in Blender?

[mental onyx]

Yeah I will! Thanks. Wrong channel for this, but I was hoping to inherit all coding from the B22 binocular but change a few variables Just like I did with the same bino in a3. Havent found a way to do that yet either, but documentation will be Released I asume

[rain wadi]

Check the samples on github,. You just have to export your FBX from blender and then import it (drag and drop) in workbench

[uneven seal]

And from the workbench back to blender?

Is this possible?

[sly bridge]

why would you need that?

[rain wadi]

I don't know

[uneven seal]

Now I get it, my work flow is still stuck in Arma 3 😂

[swift anvil]

ooooh i know thanks

[rain wadi]

yup, you need to change your workflow

[knotty cedar]

You can't import xob into blender but you can import the fbx source file that the xob uses, in blender 🙂

[uneven seal]

I thought that the fbx is just for the import, but its still a part of the .xob which is really nice.

[knotty cedar]

Simply overwriting the fbx with changes will instantly also rebuild the xob

[mental onyx]

@knotty cedar Do you have any idea on polycounts for this?

[winter current]

has anything been said about the tool to help to the conversion of existing p3d's to enfusion? or is that the blender addons included in the tools?

[sly bridge]

unlikely for that to happen

[winter current]

i mean, they literally said it, it's on the enfusion website https://gyazo.com/8d0adfdbab56e8662f32f7fdcaacf49e

[sly bridge]

you ca. have the meshes used if you wanted to

[winter current]

was wondering mostly if there was some clarification of what that tool is or if it's out ,etc

[jagged smelt]

Is this the coding? What about to how to export to tools? I just drop my model and textures? I'm very confused D:

[knotty cedar]

No sorry, I don't wanna give the wrong info I'll check if this is in any of the planned documentation tomorrow though cause it's a good point

[sly bridge]

didn’t see it till now, still, you can easily move over the meshes for all lods if you wanted to (and had access to the source files)

[winter current]

yeah so far the biggest change is textures, some models are not dramatically different from the samples i've checked like weapons

there's 2 blender addons in the reforger tools folder that should be pinned, helps sorting the samples to properly understand the lods

[sly bridge]

without having check any samples

you can check all the data existing in the reforger assets list

as such, it is way easier to figure things out on your own

[lone orbit]

p3ds are convertable

[winter current]

how exactly? i can't figure it out lol

[zinc crow]

open in 3d modeling tool and export to new format

there is no magic woosh button

[jagged smelt]

Does toolssupport fbx models?

[rain wadi]

yes, they are made to work with FBX files

[jagged smelt]

nice!

In the workbench... Wich quick launch I should select to open a 3d model?

[rain wadi]

none, you can directly preview a 3D model by double clicking on any .xob file

[jagged smelt]

So... I need to click in my model, right?

[rain wadi]

yup, import your model, it will convert it to xob then you just have to double click on it.

[jagged smelt]

got it, thanks!

do you know what textures do I need? Like normal, specular, diffuse...

[sly bridge]

have a look over emats

[rain wadi]

you need a BCR (Base Color/Roughness) and a NMO map ( Normal/metallic/Occlusion). Here is an export preset for substance painter: #enfusion_model message

you can also add an opacity map

PBR Metallic-Roughness Workflow

but Enfused

[mental onyx]

Base colour and roughness in the same map? How does that work? I only know texturing for A3. Might be a dumb question

[sly bridge]

the textures are 32bit

4 channels x 8bit/channel

BCR - rbg = albedo + a = roughness

[sly bridge]

also, NMO = normal metalness ao

rg = xy normals , b = metalness and a = ao, at least from the emat description

[mental onyx]

Appreciate the info @sly bridge I Just need to figure how to properly make and export these texture sets from substance

[sly bridge]

you can have mouse over materials slots for quick description

[sly bridge]

this doesn’t work as intended?

#enfusion_model message

[mental onyx]

Ive yet to try it, been celebrating our National day all day. So went off to bed. I will test tomorrow. Thanks again for all the info 😄

[lone orbit]

the blender plugin how do you install it

[uneven seal]

Edit - Preferences - Add Ons - Install - select the Zip

I'm currently trying to add an collider to my object. I pressed the "Colliders Setup" in blender but its still importing it as an visual Mesh. Is there anywhere a description?

[green hemlock]

@winter current in blender under enfusion tools u can import Arma 3 P3D into .blend that allows u to export it to FBX for the .xob

[hot pumice]

created an Emat with a BCR and an NMO
normal, roughness and metallic seem to work but base color looks completely black

[rain wadi]

Indeed

[winter current]

yeah i'm working on it, i managed to properly install the plugins and import it, gotta work on texture conversion first and then i'll go back to it 😄

[hot pumice]

anyone managed to import emats correctly?

[uneven seal]

Ok for me it work when I renamed the collider object to "UCX_Component01", I dont know if this is the right way but worked for now.

[hot pumice]

you need to open the xob that autogenerates once you import the model
not the fbx itself

[lone orbit]

it just made an .fbx file and .txo file no xob file

[hot pumice]

ideally it autogenerates when you import it into enfusion

[rain wadi]

what do you mean? Your emats don't work?

[hot pumice]

exported the textures correctly and imported them onto an emat, it all works except the base color, the model has correct roughness and normal, and I think metallic too
just the base color doesn't work

making it all black

[pulsar drift]

Hello,
I can't import .obj into enfusion... Has anyone succeeded?

[rain wadi]

Weird, how did you export your BCR? How does it look like?

[rain wadi]

I don't think you can import obj but I'm not sure. Use FBX.

https://i.gyazo.com/7b2761dbf2804e540e85810fa5defb7f.jpg

mine works

[hot pumice]

used the export setting linked here
the BCR seems to work, in fact on the material itself its the correct color
but on the model its black

might be a model problem but what could it be

[pulsar drift]

not working...

[rain wadi]

Check your model's normals

[hot pumice]

normals seem alright

I might be missing something in the workflow
I created a new emat, added the BCR and NMO, then added the emat on the model
am I missing a step?

[odd spade]

Any clue on where to find the exporter for Reforger, if there's any anything close to "official"?

Ah, nevermind, found it under #enfusion_blender_tools ...but I guess "PINNED MESSAGES" should be a thing staff, shouldn't they? 😄

[hot pumice]

ok it seems to be related to my model but I'm not sure why
do I need to observe special procedures when exporting?
or is it just a simple fbx?

[pure kayak]

Howdy gents, arma 3 modder looking to test out enfusion

im trying to work out how the new rigging system works, any pointers?

[jagged smelt]

Model's dimensions are the same as arma 3? Like uniform, vest and gun dimensions?

[pure kayak]

Dont think so

body base looks very different

[jagged smelt]

Oh no uwu

[crude star]

very different is an overstatement

it's not THAT different

[hot pumice]

https://i.imgur.com/gTC2hVM.png
for some reason this chair ends up black once in enfusion
it should be white like the blender default cube underneath

can't find any discernible difference between the two

turns out if I export the chair as p3d and then reimport in blender and re export as fbx it works
why? you might ask
good question

[wise karma]

In blender are they the same material?
Perhaps reimporting and exporting is stripping the material data, making them both identical.

[hot pumice]

I though of that, but nope, I tried removing the material, tried recalculating normals
no dice
the p3d export must remove something that the chair had and a3 doesn't need
making it viable for reforger
this is confusing but hopefully a dev could explain what makes untextured objects black when in the workbench

[wise karma]

Hmm, haven't downloaded the game yet so can't be of much help. Is that cube a cube from blender or a sample thing? If you added a sphere for example then re-rexported is it a third colour, white, or the same as the chair?

[hot pumice]

cube from blender

but if I add a 3rd object its also white, I'm assuming that all properly imported objects are white

[wise karma]

Are they both unique objects in blender, or the one?
If you join the chair into the cube is it still not white

[hot pumice]

so wether they're different objects or one merged object the difference remains

which is even stranger

[wise karma]

Well thats interesting.

[hot pumice]

also tried moving onto another blend file

[wise karma]

Once they are merged is it still only showing one material

[hot pumice]

yes I tried exporting with them having different materials, same materials, no materials
same results

[wise karma]

Its a stretch... But does the chair have any vertex weights painted to it?

[hot pumice]

checked and no
no weight nor vertex paint on the object

[winter current]

has anyone played around with the car sample? i can't figure out why the doors are not animated, none of them work

[pure kayak]

so when or if documentation is released, will there be info on how to import clothing parts/set them up for ingame?

[copper beacon]

probably i imagine

i think documentation is released tmr according to dedmen

or well its like uhhh 11:37pm CDT for so like tmr is in like 30

xd

[frank spindle]

is there a way to dierectly import an arma 3 helemt to reforger.

or at least use the model with the texture ?

[tidal latch]

directly, no. You will have to import it to some 3D software first. With official Blender plugin you can import any existing P3D and it will do some very basic setup for you, like renaming objects and adding proper suffixes/prefixes. Once you have that in Blender, you can export it to FBX

[frank spindle]

ahh okay, do i need to press something in blender to sort it ou ?, is there documentation somewhere ?

[winter current]

Use the blender addons included in your reforger tools folder and check this for how to set it up properly

#enfusion_blender_tools message

[frank spindle]

also will the textures already made for arma 3 work or will i need to completely redo them ?

[winter current]

you'll have to remake them, there's a substance painter export preset already

[frank spindle]

ahh thats good at least, means its going to be relatively easy

any idea where i can find that ?

btw i already have blender set up

[winter current]

#enfusion_model message

[frank spindle]

once again thank you

[sage bay]

can anyone tell me how to create a prefab?

[knotty cedar]

There's a couple of ways to go about that:

• You can create entity via "Create" tab in World Editor and then drag it to Resource Browser attached to World Editor
• If you have a model ready (as .xob) you can place xob in World Editor, it will automaticly create entity and dragging entity to Resource Browser again will create entity out of it
• You can inherit prefabs via "Inherit Prefab" or "Inherit Prefab in 'addon name'" action in Resource Browser attached to World Editor

[honest wave]

How do I import models into Arma Reforger?

[knotty cedar]

Place your .fbx in (or export .fbx to) the directory of your choosing. Then within Workbench, navigate to the directory, right click the .fbx file and click "Register and Import" to import the model and generate the .xob from it in the same directory.

[honest wave]

Cheers!

@knotty cedar Could I dm you like where I am in the editor, as I cannot send photos here?

[upbeat wyvern]

Do the models live update in the workbench or do you have to reimport the FBX

[digital badge]

what are .xob files like where do you get them from ? i only know normal formats for models like obj fbx etc

[sly bridge]

.xob are new file formats that replaces p3ds, and are auto-generated from .fbx files

[digital badge]

ahh oky

[knotty cedar]

Whenever the .fbx is changed, (and if workbench is running) it will immedietly re-import and rebuild the xob

[tidal latch]

it's worth to note that you can reimport things when world editor is in play mode

[winter current]

When doing this, how do i change what type of entity my model is? not sure if it's the right question lol

so basically i imported a car model, but when i drag it to the world editor it's defined as a generic entity, is there a way to change that when creating the prefab or it's defined somewhere else?

wait, components, i think that's it?

[eager topaz]

Hello, quick question, what is the normal time for a .fbx to be registered and imported?

[tidal latch]

best would be to use existing prefab as base

[eager topaz]

I'm kind of limit testing right now, have 1.5 mil edges and tris

[tidal latch]

so place i.e. Wheeled_Car_Base.et prefab in world editor and then drag it to resource browser to create a new prefab

[pliant pendant]

1.5 million triangles?

what kind of model is it

[eager topaz]

My high poly f-117a

xd

Just seeing what happens and what it looks like under the new engine

[last parcel]

Took less then a sec on a 20k model but att 1,5 million i would says mins IF it even works

[near portal]

Hello, do you have any information regarding the faces of the 3D models?
From what level it starts to be too much, etc.

[willow sage]

i would like to add Nightcamo parka and PLCE chest rigg

https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/042/538/286/large/punky-unknown-20.jpg?1634766052

But every time when im importing these models Enfusion crashes

[eager topaz]

I'll have some information for you maybe later tonight or tomorrow, I'm currently implementing the said amount of polys and I'll give feedback about my performance

[knotty cedar]

Have you checked out the sample mod assets? They should give you a rough idea as those assets have been designed to balance visual quality and performance in Everon

[winter current]

i'm sure i'm doing something wrong cause i can't find that prefab at all lol, don't know why

[lime comet]

how are prefabs (.et) and models (.xob) related? Is a prefab like an instance with specific config/variables of a model?

[tidal latch]

prefab is a config basically

where model is... a model, sort of p3d

enfusion://ResourceManager/~ArmaReforger:Prefabs/Vehicles/Core/Wheeled_Car_Base.et

[knotty cedar]

Just checking, did you download samples 😁 ?

[winter current]

yes, all of them and they've been useful so far to work on the models, it's the workbench part so far the struggle lol

[tidal latch]

in Resource Manager options it is possible to register enfusion protocol, so link above will redirect you to this prefab

[winter current]

i did something super janky, replacing the model from an existing prefab and it kinda worked in a super funny way lol

[lime comet]

sorry for being slow, where would I enter the URL for enfusion:// ?

[tidal latch]

for instance browser, for some reason discord doesn't recognize it

[lime comet]

Resource Browser?

[tidal latch]

firefox

or file explorer

[heady osprey]

Hi. Where can I find this plugin?
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Enfusion_Tools:_P3D_Conversion'

[lime comet]

works!

but I only see an empty platform, there's an error in the log: Create entity @"ENTITY:1" ('Vehicle') at <0.000000 0.000000 0.000000> @"{1F9BB80C3EC3C891}Prefabs/Vehicles/Core/Wheeled_Car_Base.et" VEHICLE (E): Wheeled - no physics component!

[tidal latch]

it is a base prefab without model

so of course not all system are going to work

[lime comet]

ah, ok, so as intended!

hopefully the right channel for this question: The models as fbx that I imported into workbench are untextured. How do I convert the paa's to the right format so the object is textured in Reforger?

[winter current]

This is was huge, i guess the component action manager is my culprit now since i can see the car ingame, i have collision with it but no actions to get in or interact at all

and i guess they're defined in that component?

[eager hill]

Just managed to import first weapon model to the workbench. There are no LODs or colliders, but it somehow works. https://imgur.com/dExaP32

[tidal latch]

you don't have collider probably @winter current

[eager hill]

maybe try to convert them back to png with arma 3 tools. I imported my textures like that and they automatically converted to dds in workbench

[lime comet]

ok, where did you place the pngs? Same dir as the fbx?

[mental onyx]

Same here https://imgur.com/0z9hd21 altough not a weapon, what I am struggling to figure out now is how to do inheritance from base game classes.

[eager hill]

nope, i just looked for the directory with Substance Painter exports.

[eager hill]

I didn't have anything except of that one mesh in the fbx so I knew I wouldn't get anything else. We have to wait for documentation

[mental onyx]

Yeah same I'm waiting for docs. As of now I have no clue on how to get this into the game itself. I dont know how configs work at all this time around, and dont know how to inherit values from lets say the US B22 Binocular, which is what I was thinking about using for inheritance for this Leupold mk4 spotting scope.

[tidal latch]

in Resource Browser attached to World Editor (this is very important!) you can use "Inherit in 'addon name'" action

alternatively you can use this method

(gif from tutorial which I'm converting to wiki right now 😉 )

[mental onyx]

How would I setup my file structure like that? Assets, configs, language etc

Is everything done trough the workbench or do I still have to go to a specific folder location and make these?

[tidal latch]

you can create structure manually in workbench but in some cases it is also possible to relay on autogenerated structure

[mental onyx]

I'm going to have to wait until the docs come out. I'm stuck with this https://imgur.com/TBSrwKN and dont understand how to proceed, setup file structure, basically do anything except importing fbx and applying texture.

[tidal latch]

you can create new folders

you can also do that in file explorer if you wish

[mental onyx]

Yeah but I dont even know where the file location is for my Leupoldmk4 folder 😅

I just hit start new project, and started importing. I have no clue where on my pc that is actually saved.

[mental onyx]

Alright, so my documents. Thanks

[dense plover]

Folding stocks on EVERY GUN yes bois?

BRUH LPVOs can be actually Variable now!

[sly bridge]

?

[dense plover]

Sorry, just excited for modeling and adding in scope ideas.

In ARMA3 the LPVOs were either 1x or 6x. now they can be everything inbetween too

[buoyant tiger]

How do you package a mod, similar to create a pbo in arma 3 ?

[lone orbit]

file publish bundle then publish again. can put it private unlisted or public

[buoyant tiger]

Server connection failed. [RestApi] ID:[8] Error Code:400 - Bad Request, ApiCode:

cant even open the publish menu

[lone orbit]

yh the servers for it are abit shocking rn,

keep trying it it might work after a few attempts

[buoyant tiger]

Why would you need an internet connection to pack your mods o_O

[lone orbit]

beacuse it get published to the workshop.

depending on what visibility you selected public unlisted private test

[buoyant tiger]

But I may want to test my mods w/o uploading them somewhere. Imagine having a terrain with +2gigs in size.
Furthermore if I had Internet problems and may want to work on my mods - could get difficult.

[delicate condor]

also binarized p3d?

[tidal latch]

no

[low mica]

I'm having trouble getting bones/memory points imported to workbench with FBX, is there any specific export setting I need to use or something?

[knotty cedar]

Have you ticked Export Skinning in fbx import options? (within Workbench)

[lone orbit]

any one use substans painter?

[abstract burrow]

Should we expect functionality for vehicles on tracks like "selectionLeftOffset = pasoffset"?

[lone orbit]

how do you install export templates

[low mica]

That fixed it! thanks 😄

[fossil crystal]

where is that exactly (i'm having issues with importing bones as well)

[knotty cedar]

On the right side of screen, in workbench you can find a tab called import settings or something, (if you have an xob opened)

[digital vector]

Hello, impossible to put a geometry on my objects 😦

ok, it worked (i just forgot to click the reimport ressource button)

[fathom bolt]

Hello how can i create a prefab for my weapon ?

[iron ridge]

Anyone up to make a quick TLDR on the import process for me ?
As many Lod work as before ? is model.cfg still a thing ?

[fathom bolt]

No more model.cfg

and lods you just make all that things in blender with multiple collection

and after export in fbx and import in fbx in enfusion

[digital vector]

I have the same vehicle issue.

[glacial bobcat]

I tried to fix it in object builder and reimport it but it does not change

[fathom bolt]

don't use object builder anymore use blender

[glacial bobcat]

in blender it's good it's when I import in enfusion

[fathom bolt]

in fbx ?

[glacial bobcat]

yes

[fathom bolt]

you have multiple lods ?

[glacial bobcat]

no

[fathom bolt]

did you have the enfusion plugin for blender ? the plugin tell you if he find error

"\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Arma Reforger Tools\Blender"

[glacial bobcat]

yes I have it, when I import it on blender there is no problem with the face but when I pass it on enfusion it becomes broken

[fathom bolt]

with the report button ?

[knotty cedar]

In your screenshots it looks like your collider (geometry) is being recognized, as box, which looks fine. Layer presets are also imported correctly it seems. What do you see when you activate collider display mode here? You should see a cube

[digital vector]

https://gyazo.com/ba5e2277db92f8b0704a0840840c63b0

[fathom bolt]

after one day i have finally my weapon in game !

https://imgur.com/a/3t2RgVt

[glacial bobcat]

where ?

[fathom bolt]

in blender

[glacial bobcat]

nice

[last hill]

Could you explain how you got it to appear ingame?

[fathom bolt]

wow 😄

[fathom bolt]

You make the model in blender with the textures blabla...

You import it in fbx in Enfusion with good folder

Import the textures with materials

[last hill]

I've got a helmet, trying to get it to be a selectable item, got it in the tools, created the prefab based off the model

[fathom bolt]

i take it in the arsenal box

[last hill]

Just can't get it to be visible in the arsenal

[fathom bolt]

ok

[knotty cedar]

Simplest way is to go into world editor (empty map is fine) drag the .xob of the structure into the world, this will create a generic entity with the model plugged in, then drag the entity back to resource browser and a prompt will ask you for the name of your newly created prefab 🙂

[lone orbit]

Is there mass management like on A3?

[lone orbit]

that makes a .ct file

[willow sage]

@fathom bolt can i pm tou

[fathom bolt]

Yes you can

[dawn pine]

Correct normals?

[knotty cedar]

Mass here

[glacial bobcat]

heu idk i just import it

[knotty cedar]

Center of mass

• Center of mass can be defined through empty dummy/null object, with prefix: COM_
• When FBX doesn't have COM prefix...engine will create center of mass in 0,0,0 coordinates
• When there are two or more COM prefix dummies, engine will take the first one it find and ignore the rest

Turn on the backface culling on blender and youll see if it makes the same thing.

[mossy moth]

I have no idea how to mod but , please i beg you do a silenced AR platform like M4

[digital vector]

Even with mass there is still no geometry

[lone orbit]

are coliders done thro blender or in the workshop i have no idea on them

[digital vector]

the object here we pass through

[knotty cedar]

You model them in blender and you can already define layer presets there too

@knotty cedar How can i import my bones in enfusion cause i have them in blender but not in enfusion ?

[knotty cedar]

Hello there. I'm trying to upload my model in game. I can see it in Arma reforger, on "Workshop" page, but i can't download and test my own project in the local "Zeus" mod. I just see default models from Arma. Where i can find any guidelines? On the community wiki just nothing about this.

[fathom bolt]

Thank you

[hidden yarrow]

Hey is there a way to kind of have a HDRI in the view port? Mainly of like the base game map so i can see what my textures will look like there?

[digital vector]

I couldn't find to put the geometry, I'm waiting for the wiki

[safe sierra]

Hello, do you guys know if there's some kind of Bulldozer to test the animations, like the one for A3?

I want to see if the doors on my truck open and stuff

[knotty cedar]

One thing you can do is use an environment map texture to get some cool image based lighting on your model:

Sick ty

[knotty cedar]

some should be included and I think you can find them if you search for 'env' in file names

[hidden yarrow]

ah thats amazing ty

also whats the size limit for a model in meters?

same as before or is it more now?

[fathom bolt]

For the weapon a part of the documentation is there :

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

[knotty cedar]

I think it was like 50x50x50 meter in A3 right? I don't think we stil have that low limitation but not sure on the extreme limit 😁

[serene halo]

Ok, how i understand, for creating a static models you need a prefabs for it. How i can create a prefab in "Workbench"? I'm already imported my model and setup material.

[rain wadi]

So, about colliders, they need layers to work, right?

[sweet kettle]

How do you make a gun prefab appear in the ingame arsenal?

I've added it to the "ArsenalConfig_BLUEFOR.conf", but it does not appear ingame

[tidal latch]

have you tried to load it with sample mod new weapon and compare it if its visible?

[sweet kettle]

The new weapon sample project does not appear either

[hidden yarrow]

https://imgur.com/gallery/rfKSQ2G managed to import my first model

[tidal latch]

and are you using crate placed by game master?

or weapon rack?

[sweet kettle]

I am placing an arsenal crate with gamemaster

the untextured m4 that's in the workshop right now does show up there

but the sample project weapon and my honey badger do not

[fathom bolt]

In MyProject>Assets>Weapons>Rifles>Myweapon

you need the .xob file (the model)

In MyProject>Prefabs>Weapons>Rifles>Myweapon

you need the file (the prefab) : "Rifle_Myweapon.et

in the prefab you need to modify the "meshObject"

after that

in MyProject>Configs>Arsenal

you need to add the line :

Rifle_Myweapon.et
Item Ressource Name : Rifle_Myweapon.et
Item Type : Rifle
Item Mode : DEFAULT
Max count per item type (1)

with this i have my weapon in game

In the folder arsenal you need the file "ArsenalConfig_BLUFOR.conf" of course

[sweet kettle]

Thank you very much, I think I did all that, but I guess I missed something? https://puu.sh/J0ZHx/1f3bb1dd03.png

I can place the prefab object in the world builder editor thingy and pick it up there

[fathom bolt]

So if you save, bundle, publish and go to the editor you normally see your weapon in the arsenal box (bluefor) on page 3 maybe

[sweet kettle]

okay

lmao

Item mode has to be default?

Rifle seems to not work

[fathom bolt]

i've only tried with default
