[fathom bolt]

so idk

[sweet kettle]

you're a legend, thank you so much

[fathom bolt]

it's worked ?

[sweet kettle]

yes

[fathom bolt]

beautiful

[sweet kettle]

setting item mode to default seems to have been the fix

[fathom bolt]

know i need to understand how animation works 😄

[sweet kettle]

I've been stuck at this for hours aaaaah man this feels good

[fathom bolt]

your hands are in the right position ?

[sweet kettle]

ehhhh...

[fathom bolt]

i see

me too

[sweet kettle]

kinda https://puu.sh/J0ZMd/a8b24b2d0a.jpg

I guess maybe thats a procedural animation thing?

[fathom bolt]

i don't know cause we have a memory point called "snap_hand_right"

but yes i think we need to do the anim in blender and after...

[sweet kettle]

I'd imagine that it's an animation thing?

Since you might wanna have a completely different gripping hand pose

[fathom bolt]

yes but how can we change that

[sweet kettle]

I have no clue

[dense pelican]

there is sample file .bled in Samplemod

[fathom bolt]

yes but i don't understand how can i adjust the hand

[dense pelican]

There is a finger rig and bone u see it

just search blender tutorial

[fathom bolt]

it's was bugged after a relaunch i see all bones...

[fathom bolt]

you know were you put the anim for the hand ?

[mental onyx]

@fathom bolt Do you have to publish the mod first in order to test it? Using world editor to run game master with an arsenal box does not show anything. I have Asset, prefab and config for my binocular.

[swift anvil]

Hello, allow me to come to you. I installed the enfusiontools plugin on blender but it shows me this message. Could you please help me.

"Valid path to addon folders hasn't been provided"

[fathom bolt]

No you can test it with world editor. Follow the last step 👍

If you have a problem tell me

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

[latent flax]

So your the lad who ported the Honey Badger.

[sweet kettle]

[mental onyx]

Loading the base.ent file all I see is grey, nothing anywhere?

[dense pelican]

can find skeletion visualization in anim editor

same as blender bone name

[fathom bolt]

At the top left File>Load and search a world in the Reforger file

[dense pelican]

hand is "SampleWeapon_01\Anims"

[fathom bolt]

After that drop your prefab and play

[knotty cedar]

#enfusion_blender_tools

[fathom bolt]

With the tutorial world it work well

[fathom bolt]

Ok im going to search this

[dense pelican]

and just waiting tutorial anim-node from BI

[dull yew]

Are resolution lods still a thing?

[knotty cedar]

Yes

[rain wadi]

YAY

[keen pulsar]

Do we have a tutorial on the different type of textures? Im not understanding where rough/met are placed and how the new nrm are generated?

[fathom bolt]

BCR MAP :

RGB+A = Albedo + Roughness

In substance painter you can put your base color/albedo map in the rgb and the roughness in the A

So enfusion took the color in RGB and take the roughness in the A channel

[keen pulsar]

And for metal?

[sly frigate]

Anyone a hint how to export from blender to the toolbox? (import from .blender to the game) (a normal model, no anim, or terrain)

[fathom bolt]

R+G+B+A

R = directX normal map
G = directX normal map
B = metalness
A = AO

[keen pulsar]

WEll that is for sure a new concept for me, thank you

[fathom bolt]

i can do a screenshot of the export profile for substance if you want

[keen pulsar]

It looks like reyhard may have done the work for us
#enfusion_model message

[fathom bolt]

so you have all 😉

[hidden yarrow]

well boys ive imported another model...

https://imgur.com/gallery/21fqxVT

[fathom bolt]

And now the config !

[hidden yarrow]

lmao i wish

its cool that size doesnt really matter anymore this one here is 116m but should be 170m just didnt scale it right

[keen pulsar]

Size doesnt matter?

[hidden yarrow]

never did💯

[keen pulsar]

I mean in terms of technical LOD limitations 😄

[hidden yarrow]

there is still some size max but this seems alot better now

[keen pulsar]

Sweet, wonder what the size limits will be. Im still learning how to figure out how to even navigate these tools.

[hidden yarrow]

i could try making the model bigger but the importing took like 10 min so im not going to

[junior thorn]

me i use an other shader

i can choose directly

and add metalness and normal map and roughness , AO ...

easily

[fathom bolt]

MatCommon ?

Or MatPBRMulti

[junior thorn]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90xOjh-7CyE&t=135s

@fathom bolt

look at the time code

[thorn topaz]

did you apply the transform?

[glacial bobcat]

uh i don't think so, where is it?

😆

[thorn topaz]

@glacial bobcat in blender select your mesh then press Ctrl+A, this will bring up an "apply" menu, select "All transforms."

be aware that this will reset the origin point to 0,0,0

[glacial bobcat]

I tested I still have the problem

[thorn topaz]

Hmm strange, that usually resolves any normals facing the wrong way. Does your mesh have any materials applied and if so are they two sided?

[glacial bobcat]

no I didn't apply anything I just imported it

[eager topaz]

Hey if size doesn't matter, I wonder how carrier decks may be made now, do yall think it may not be separated into 6 different LODs?

Or are there other reasons that has to take place?

[fathom bolt]

LODs is for optimization they change with the distance or with the amount of data loaded

like if you are at 1km for a weapon why display it in full quality ? so we use lods

[eager topaz]

Oh I'm aware of Level of detail meshes haha, I was just wondering why carrier decks specifically have separated sections

[limpid wolf]

size limitations

[unreal marlin]

is there a rudimentary guide on how to import a simple static object. I still cant figure it out even while looking through the sampled "Newprop"

[glad sable]

Hello, where can I find bones for Blender?

[tacit eagle]

Have anyone figured out how to export the memlods?

[lime comet]

On my cube the collider displays a exclamation mark on 'Invalid layer masks: 1' and the exclamation mark in yellow triangle is also besides Colliders->UTM_Geometry . Any ideas?

[knotty cedar]

You need to assign a layer preset

[lofty cedar]

Shift + A > Armature, from there the rigging process is very similar to Unreal Engine, so if you can find a tutorial on that, it should walk you through the steps.

[knotty cedar]

you mean like memory points that we used in arma 3 to snap things to and stuff? if so, those are null objects in blender (if im using the right term) that need to be named accordingly (correct prefix that you can find in documentation soon) and they show up in the Bones section of the xob 🙂

[lofty cedar]

Memory points seem to be emptys now in Blender as opposed to vertices, so be careful that you haven't set your export to ignore emptys!

[lime comet]

where do I find the Basic Options dialog? Workbench or Blender?

[knotty cedar]

exactly 🙂

[knotty cedar]

blender

[lofty cedar]

I haven't quite gotten as far as animations, but I take it those names will be important for reusing existing vanilla animations?

The bones as well as their w_ prefix?

[lean cargo]

can you export the models of the characters from enfusion to blender?

[white fractal]

anyone knows how to delete materials from a fbx model? https://prnt.sc/pExPeQJJ6GX0

[lofty cedar]

I don't think you can export, but there is a sample model here that you may be able to use. I believe there is another in the weapon's animation files... I need to have a look at that one myself.
https://github.com/BohemiaInteractive/Arma-Reforger-Samples/tree/main/SampleMod_NewCharacter

[lean cargo]

how do i import the sample mods in the workbench?

[lofty cedar]

A simple right click and delete worked for me from the file viewer... if you want I can get you a screenshot

[white fractal]

yes please.. thank you!

[tacit eagle]

They are not excluded when exporting. Could it be because that i am missing a working rigg at the moment?

[uneven seal]

Are there any recruitments about the collider mesh? Closed or convex or something?

[lofty cedar]

I believe there is a more comprehensive tutorial somewhere here, but ultimately you want to download the files and get them into your mod directory which is stored here:

C:\Users\User\Documents\My Games\ArmaReforger\addons

[lean cargo]

Ok thank you

[lofty cedar]

Would you be willing to work in VC?

[tacit eagle]

VC?

[lofty cedar]

I don't know that a missing rig would cause the memory points to not show up, as I personally did the rig before the memory points.

[lofty cedar]

Voice Chat

[tacit eagle]

yeah sure, no problem

[white fractal]

for file viewer what do you mean exactly? @lofty cedar

[lofty cedar]

Sorry, one moment while I grab a screenshot

[white fractal]

dw, no problem!!

[lofty cedar]

Upon further reflection, I've found that I am still waking up. Removing a material from an fbx can be done rather easily in blender, but I'm not so sure as to what the process would be for that in Enfusion. For Blender, all you have to do is import the fbx, maneuver to the materials tab (which I've pictured here), select the material you want to remove, and press the minus button that is immediately to the right of the materials list.
https://imgur.com/a/6Rtwr0J

[white fractal]

thank you vespade!

i'll try it now

what i found is that i have to delete the lods... and there are thousand of them.. lol

[rustic rain]

Has anyone found a way to reverse engineer exporting a model

[lofty cedar]

As in pulling a model from the game?

[rustic rain]

Yes

[lofty cedar]

I don't believe you can, but if you need something to reference, I'd recommend you to the #reforger_samples samples

[rustic rain]

Yeah I downloaded that.

[fathom bolt]

where did you find this window ?

[rustic rain]

Just want to export them so its easier

[lofty cedar]

I haven't read up on it much, but from what I've seen, once it's locked, it stays locked

[rustic rain]

Thats stupid...

[lofty cedar]

If it's from the samples, all the files are accessible from Windows Explorer

those files are unlocked

[lofty cedar]

It's a safety precaution so that artists don't have their work stolen from them

you're still able to view the model in its entirety from within the engine, though!

[fathom bolt]

All files can be modified just right click and duplicate into your mod

[lofty cedar]

Is that the case for models as well?

[fathom bolt]

with enfusion

[rustic rain]

Let me try that

[fathom bolt]

i think yes

i've do that for a core script so

[lofty cedar]

There isn't a duplicate option for xobs

[fathom bolt]

why you want the .xobs and not the prefab ?

[lofty cedar]

The prefab does not contain the model, it references it

He wants the model so that he can work externally from the engine

[fathom bolt]

oh so you can't its a protection

[lofty cedar]

From what I understand and see, you cannot export models once they've been locked, this also seems to go for animations

[fathom bolt]

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

[lofty cedar]

That allows you to change characteristics, but not the actual 3D asset

[fathom bolt]

yes you need to keep the original files

so for the bis files it's normal

like arma 3 when its binarized

[lofty cedar]

You have to delete the LODs? That doesn't sound right 😬

[lofty cedar]

Precisely

[uneven seal]

Are there any recruitment about the collider mesh? Closed or convex or something?

[fathom bolt]

closed and convex yes

but you can always check with the plugin for blender

[rustic rain]

they really fucked it with locking all the shit

[uneven seal]

how?

[fathom bolt]

in the main folder of the arma reforger tools you have a blender folder

with the plugin

[uneven seal]

and where can i check it in blender?

[rustic rain]

Anyone know where I can find the blender addons?

[uneven seal]

@rustic rain

[fathom bolt]

To install the plugin in blender :

In Blender go to "Edit" "Add-ons" and Install at the right top corner

just select the .zip plugin

and of course turn in on

[lofty cedar]

You then also need to extract the data zip somewhere, and point your plugin to the extracted data folder

[fathom bolt]

i missed this part lol

[fathom bolt]

Little WIP 😉

[violet smelt]

https://imgur.com/a/pm9bbJF

Can anyone explain this

driving me insane

or the model will be at their feet

Does it require bones?

[sly bridge]

i would assume that to be a helmet of sorts

[violet smelt]

Yes

I cant make the helmet work or any of the other models I made

And this is a sample model

[sly bridge]

it most likely requires bones, just like arma3 did

[violet smelt]

So just enable bone maybe 🤔

[sly bridge]

not sure, but definitely have a looky over existing helmets in reforger

[violet smelt]

Yeah I have

over the past two days

Nothing has helped

looks like bones also did not help

[sly bridge]

did you duplicate an existing asset?

having a look at the booney, it seems it is skinned to the “head” bone

[violet smelt]

Uhhh

Is that not the right vertex

[eager hill]

It's half broken, but I can finally shoot it https://streamable.com/jy1avs

[violet smelt]

Ok I have it set to that already

[violet smelt]

Lol

The headgear makes no sense

Workbench it looks fine

In world editor its the worst

After I turn it into a prefab

It looks like prefabs completely ignore the bones

.....

figured it out

[plain citrus]

hey ! I've open the SampleMod_NewWeapon but when i want to test in world editor i dont see the Assets_Showcase_Base.ent .
Can you help me ?

[serene halo]

How to create prefab for static object, that i imported?

[violet smelt]

The bones are 100% broken

[pure kayak]

hey guys, whats the process to rig to the new body?

[winter current]

what's the difference between UTM and UCX in the fire geo? wondering why it's a different prefix but can't find info on it

[last hill]

No matter what I tried, I couldn't even get mine to show up as an equipment item so at least you got that far.

[pure kayak]

how did you manage to get the rigging done?

[last hill]

I personally skin set my model to the sample new character fbx skeleton rig, 100% to head as my mod was a helmet

But can't say it works as can't get it to appear ingame

[pure kayak]

damn

i got my stuff ingame using prefabs

but the rigging wont work so fml

how'd you skin it? just armature deform?

[last hill]

Using skin modifier in 3ds max

[pure kayak]

ah fuck

okay

[last hill]

Yeah my prefabs didn't work for it to show as an item lol so can't even test

[bright raft]

https://i.gyazo.com/d539a1d71921a654d2fa964c5defdcf6.mp4

Not much but honest work

[tacit eagle]

Any idia about how i can larn enfusen

learn

[pure kayak]

So i cant even export with bones

wtf is going on

[lofty cedar]

Very nice, have you set up any animations for that, or is it just using the M16 anims rn?

[bright raft]

Just vanilla anims. I am surprised how intuitive the tools are

[spark raptor]

That's the shape of the collider, the possible options are:

UCX: Convex Mesh
UBX: Box
USP: Sphere
UCS: Capsule
UCL: Cylinder
UTM: Concave Mesh

When you use box, sphere, capsule or cylinder, it tries to detect the centre and dimensions of the object based on your mesh, then it throws the mesh away and just stores those parameters (like for a sphere, it will only store the centre and radius). Using the simple colliders instead of convex/concave mesh is better for performance.

[winter current]

oh, quite the dramatic change from simply making everything simple and convex. thanks for the info!

[pure kayak]

is the rig provided in the samples broken?

i can not get it to export anything

[spark raptor]

Is "Import Settings" -> "Export Skinning" checked in Workbench on the .XOB's properties? (If not, checking it and then clicking "Reimport resource" should bring in the bones)

[oblique hinge]

The rig provided in the samples works, however if you import it into blender and export it again it stops working

[oblique hinge]

How did you do it?

[fervent solar]

stupid question, how do you set up the armatures and empties for weapons?

[last hill]

@waff is that not covered in the weapon modding tutorial?

[fervent solar]

huh theres a weapon modding tutorial?

[last hill]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki?title=Arma_Reforger:Weapon_Modding

[pure kayak]

it seems to have bones now but its still not rigging to the character , is there anything else?

checking the model, when i move bones it moves the uniform too, so it should work

[pure kayak]

it actually seems its teh same issue as this

[spark raptor]

There's no settings that would stop the binding of the mesh to the bones as far as I recall, you can select a bone in the .xob preview and rotate/translate it to check it.

[pure kayak]

i did that

it works in the xob preview

but on the prefab it doesn't work at al

yeah i dont understand this at all

i think im just gonna give up until docs are released for this

i cant get the prefab to load any bones at all

[rain wadi]

Maybe you need a specific component?

[round orbit]

How are colliders added to a model?

[rain wadi]

Did you make your colliders in Blender?

[pure kayak]

what do you mean exactly?

[round orbit]

I have the vest, I just need to create the collider in blender and import it?

[rain wadi]

I had to add a specific component in my prefab to make the colliders work. It might be the same for bones.

[pure kayak]

i copied a prefab uniform already made

that should have all that already no? i just swap the model

[rain wadi]

Yup, create the colliders, use the Enfusion Tools for Blender to add the correct layers and then export it to FBX. The colliders must be named in a specific way. Check the Reforger Samples if you want an exemple. https://github.com/BohemiaInteractive/Arma-Reforger-Samples

[rain wadi]

I don't know :/

[pure kayak]

so, just to check, i dont need the colliders in my model? or do i

cause maybe thats it

and what part is the collider anyway

if anyone has ideas on how to fix this DM me/ping me please, i'll be back on later but im desperate to fix this up

[winter current]

Colliders are the geo and fire geo, you need them.

[pure kayak]

ah shit, how do i make those

is it like arma 3?

[cyan girder]

Go get the sample model, its really explanatory in the blend file 🙂

[winter current]

just follow the sample and use the blender addon to assign the materials

[pure kayak]

i got it, still cant work it out

[cyan girder]

Its a box.

[winter current]

simple shapes for the geo, more detailed for the fire geo like always

[pure kayak]

wait, its not in the character one

do i need those for a custom shirt?

[worthy citrus]

how do you stop doors from teleporting to 0,0 in your prefab when you open them?

[chrome plaza]

hey lads, wondering if i purchased a weapon model from sketch fab, could that be imported straight into the workbench? or are there other steps that need to be taken first? 3D format is Autodesk FBX (fbx) for reference :)

[hidden yarrow]

There is still some stuff that you have to do in order to get it working

But you could drag the fbx into the tools and the model would work

But thats JUST the model so it doesnt actually do anything

To find out what you have to do to get it to work take a look at the samples weapon

[chrome plaza]

Thanks for the reply mate, just wanted to make sure before i purchased

appreciate it

[hidden yarrow]

Np id wait till the document for new weapons is out so you know what you are getting into

[last hill]

The weapon modding guide is out already.

[fervent solar]

yeah lol, i've been trying to do it knowing nothing about modding for any game and just having a bit of 3d modeling experience

[hidden yarrow]

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

Not the creation one

The modding one is just about editing existing ones

But you can peace bits together to kinda get it working

[hidden yarrow]

Riverx managed

[last hill]

I know Greg has dropped a working weapon

[fervent solar]

ive got something to the point where it shoots, but all the animations are broken and the camera clips inside the gun when you ads lol

[last hill]

Looking at existing weapons, there are a lot of weapon proxy points to be set up, but I am not 100% sure on what each does or position etc. I dare say modding from scratch would be more in depth than modding existing.

I hope they add a character modding guide for headgear etc etc

[fervent solar]

yeah. I managed to kinda figure out the proxy points, mainly just carrying over the ones on the example file, and i made a little collider mesh but I have no idea how to do the bones and everything, i'll prolly continue once a guide for weapon creation comes out

[sage bay]

made a model and its pretty much the same as the sample. but how do i use it as a local mod?

[hidden yarrow]

You can load it in the world editor

[sage bay]

like in reforger?

[hidden yarrow]

Tools

[sage bay]

yeah ive done that but i just wanted to see if i set up the configs right and place it in gamemaster

[hidden yarrow]

Ah idk bout game master but ive seen people place their guns in world editor and then pick them up as a player to test them

[candid mica]

yeah I'm at the same point, I can place and use it in the world editor, but have no idea how to get put it in game as a GM

[round orbit]

What example file are you using for character modding? I am trying to add a new vest but I can't get the colldiers and firegeo to work

[fervent solar]

oh, im trying to do weapon modding lol

i was using the stuff in #reforger_samples

something weird i noticed is that I placed all the memory points down in blender, named them, and they dont appear in the workbench when I look for them under bones, it's the same way for the sample weapon

[last hill]

@waff did you change export settings in the toolkit itself to import bones

And then hit reimport

[cyan girder]

It says in the tutorial to use the world from the sample mod. But the weapon sample mod doesn't have the world in it. How do you cross import?

[fervent solar]

i have not, where would I do that?

[last hill]

When you open up your xob in the content browser. Next to details is import settings tab. Check box next to bones or animation or something. On my couch in the lounge room with my son, going off memory

[fervent solar]

ah, thank you

[round orbit]

Anyone know why I am getting invalid layer masks on my colliders? https://imgur.com/a/pHe134x

[round orbit]

That's what it needs to be? Hopefully we will have a vest or headgear sample soon

[digital vector]

And when you export don't forget to check the box https://gyazo.com/25242b8f5881c11392d37729cd119979

[deft owl]

When you make a collider is it just any simple geometry in blender? Is there a max vert count or a specific way to do it for optimizing physics collisions?

[pure kayak]

3 hours later in the tools i still can not get prefabs to use rigging

please can someone tell me what the hell im supposed to do with this

[keen pulsar]

Has anyone figured out if hiddenselection equivalents are a thing? Looking to import a model with a variety of asthetics which was originally hidden via selections

[honest wave]

I'm just trying to figure out how to import a model still

[inland ginkgo]

I need to figure out how to get vests working

So far I have imported with textures and LODs all set up. But that's where I'm stuck lol

Hopefully a sample comes out

[pure kayak]

You stuck on the rigging part quebec?

[inland ginkgo]

I dont even know what the rigging for a vest is meant to be like

[winter current]

i'm stuck in fully setting the armature on the model, never had to deal with this on dayz vehicles so it's a journey lol

[pure kayak]

im stuck with prefabs as you can see by my bitching above

[inland ginkgo]

https://imgur.com/a/SOhcC3a

this is all i got

[pure kayak]

i got hte rigging working fine, its just getting it into an item

cause the prefabs wont load my bones

[winter current]

have you checked the modded weapon tutorial? the inheriting part might be it

you gotta make sure your item gets defined as a proper entity/prefab

[pure kayak]

got it, i'll check that too

[pure kayak]

still didn't work

has anyone actually managed to get anything in? uniform ,vest headgear anything

[clear aspen]

Yes, check #enf_showroom

[jade forum]

a friend got a shirt in-game and into the arsenal, but it isn't animated, it just kinda floats at the characters chest as they move around

[pure kayak]

same here

thats what im trying to fix and its driving me fucking bonkers

worst bit is its all rigged correctly and it works in the model viewer

[jade forum]

one thing he found was that if you add your model as a child of one of the test characters in the animation editor, then it breaks

but just testing it alone works fine

[pure kayak]

hang on imma test that

well

im testing it ingame, but its just

hoverin still

[winter current]

need to see more video of those assets actually working cause dropping them literally in the game is an actual joke and i'm pretty sure it's what most people have done and are trying to showcase

[jade forum]

yeah, adding it as a child in the animation editor seems like a faster way to check if it will work in game or not afaict

[clear aspen]

I wasn't saying they got it to be functional just that they got them in-game. From his question I assumed the getting it in-game was his issue rather than the getting it functional lol

[pure kayak]

Any ideas how to get the body in to add the uniform piece as a child to it?

[pure kayak]

i mean, i did say its the rigging issue with prefabs thats the issue

i got it ingame with working bones and all that

[jade forum]

go to workspace, then scroll down to the preview models, right click one and then "Add Child Model..."

[clear aspen]

Ah, I didn't see that on my phone, sorry

[winter current]

yeah, i've been sitting on the vehicle i'm working on since borderline an hour post launch and i still can't get it to work lol

[pure kayak]

the jacket i made just refuses to rig properly

[winter current]

i think besides specific things on models for each type of item the biggest problem is dealing with prefabs, it's not exactly that intuitive and it's by far the biggest problem we're all trying to sort

[pure kayak]

and prefabs are just wonk to me

[winter current]

there's even things on the samples that i don't get why they don't work properly, like the Golf car for example, it doesn't have animations for getting in the car

so why do i even need an entire rig for it? because it probably handles part of the interaction actions too i guess

[pure kayak]

3.6 hours its taken and i still cant get past the rigging

[pure kayak]

does it work when equipped?

[inland ginkgo]

nah I haven't done the rig

[pure kayak]

good luck

thats the issue im having is the rig

[inland ginkgo]

is it hard?

like what im thinking, is it possible to like just put into the mixamo autorig and just mess with the bone properties it makes so i can import it to reforger?

[fathom bolt]

So no any news for hand anim for weapons ?

[winter current]

interesting, so you can get actions without even having a full rig

how did you set the prefab for it?

[jade forum]

the prefab is pretty easy, just clone it off of some existing equipment for the same slot and change the name/mesh/preview mesh

[inland ginkgo]

^

[jade forum]

although the cloning is a funky process, you need to open the prefab in the world editor, then drag it from the top left into your addon folder in the bottom resource browser

[winter current]

yeah that doesn't work with vehicles, at least not without something extra i'm missing

[jade forum]

oh lol, I missed the messages where you mentioned vehicles

yeah I'd just pray at that point (and find something else to do until they properly document the tools)

[inland ginkgo]

Yeah but similar idea with all prefabs, you can open the prefab and reference it when making your own

[pure kayak]

i already managed that, the issue is, despite my uniform top moving with the bones in the model preview, it wont move on the prefab uniform

[jade forum]

yeah that's where me and my friend are stuck too

I wish I could tell you more

[pure kayak]

i got DM'ed saying the bones are broken

on teh sample model

[winter current]

i don't know what i did now that my car appears on it's side and it's freaking huge lmao, something on the armature i guess lol

[pure kayak]

but im not sure if its true but if it is thats just

[jade forum]

that would be par for the course at this point lol

[winter current]

lmao https://imgur.com/a/TuzJcRm

[bronze sentinel]

I think they mean "Duplicate to 'project name' " don't they?

[tidal latch]

not exactly, there is inherit prefab in addon action in Resource Browser attached to World Editor but sadly it is broken in current public tools

it will be available in next update though

[potent crystal]

anyone else having issues with helmets not appearing in the arsenal?

ive basically copied everything the already in game helmet has and the sample helmets but i cant seem to get them in the arsenal

been at it for like 5 hours now losing my mind

[jade forum]

yeah that's just configs being dumb, try copying your addon out of the addons folder and then adding it back with the "add existing" button

assuming you did actually override the original arsenal config

[potent crystal]

no i inherited it

[jade forum]

inherting means you've copied it but non-conflicting changes to the original should still apply

but the game is still referencing the original to actually build the arsenal

so you need to override

[potent crystal]

lets see if my project lets me in again cause its been starting to crash everytime i open the prefab folder

[jade forum]

does that work in-game with animations?

[inland ginkgo]

thats the basegame vest

so yes

[jade forum]

oh lol

yeah we've got the exact same bones and it doesn't work

so not sure how we should "set" them like that

[inland ginkgo]

are the bones properly weighted to the mesh?

like you dont just have a pair of bones and a mesh, you gotta connect it

[jade forum]

unless importing nuked the weights, yeah

[inland ginkgo]

ight

[pure kayak]

mine work in model viewer

its just not working as an item

[fathom bolt]

@tidal latch did you know you can I make a custom hands anim for weapon ?

[pure kayak]

like i can move the bones around and it moves the uniform with it

but i cant get it to do that ingame on the prefab

[inland ginkgo]

ok

[winter current]

i don't get what i have wrong on my model that the scale breaks when importing to wb lol, looks fine on blender but huge on wb

[jade forum]

they aren't the same program, they don't work on the same scales. you should import the templates/examples from github into blender to get the scale right

[pure kayak]

that looks like my issue tbh

[tidal latch]

I hope the push that part of documentation to wiki today

[pure kayak]

Reyhard milord

[winter current]

it all broke when adding the armature modifier to the lod0 parts

[pure kayak]

may we have some advice on rigging? we cant get it working ingame properly

[jade forum]

yeah that's the same problem literally everyone is having lmao

[tidal latch]

in any case, you need to look at p_rfl_sampleweapon_01_ik.anm in https://github.com/BohemiaInteractive/Arma-Reforger-Samples/tree/main/SampleMod_NewWeapon/Assets/Weapons/Rifles/SampleWeapon_01/Anims

the notice how it is plugged in sample https://github.com/BohemiaInteractive/Arma-Reforger-Samples/blob/17ba195d50ddac7337efc0a19420cdfdff76a250/SampleMod_NewWeapon/Prefabs/Weapons/Rifles/SampleWeapon_01_base.et#L33

[pure kayak]

so theres literally no way to get equipment ingame as of now

[tidal latch]

https://github.com/BohemiaInteractive/Arma-Reforger-Samples/blob/main/SampleMod_NewWeapon/Assets/Weapons/Rifles/SampleWeapon_01/Anims/SampleWeapon_01_Animations.blend

[pure kayak]

as in, working eqp

[tidal latch]

have you seen how sample helmet was done?

[pure kayak]

yes

the rigging will not work

for anyone

[glad sable]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/976583659886874644/976598509107167282/unknown.png

[pure kayak]

i've tried every sample pretty much

none of them are working

[tidal latch]

can you show me skeleton menu in workbench?

of such headgear?

[winter current]

there's something everyone is missing or it's not working basically

[pure kayak]

sure

gimme a second

[glad sable]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/976736164247654411/976737655066886174/unknown.png

This beret made with sample you gave

[tidal latch]

ah, and you are doing it in blender, right?

[glad sable]

yes

[carmine lily]

Same issue for chad 3ds max users

[pure kayak]

i cant send images

but its the same for my uniform top

[tidal latch]

let me verify one thing quickly

[winter current]

fixed this. my parenting was wrong, it needs to be armature and object, not bone.

[potent crystal]

I overrided it and result was me crashing Everytime I placed the Arsenal. Wanted to yeet my keyboard ngl

[tidal latch]

yes, in Blender there is issue with Armature bone - basically any new gear that you create have to use exactly same skeleton. 3DS Max doesn't have such issue so if there is some problem with import, then please provide me more details

[pure kayak]

what details do you need?

[tidal latch]

some pics from 3ds max

[pure kayak]

ah, cant do that, dont own it

is there anyway to fix it for blender?

[tidal latch]

there is one that I know but it is a paid addon - there might be some free alternatives but I'm not aware of them. In any case, paid addon is not a proper solution so let me discuss it later and I will let you know what can be done about it

[inland ginkgo]

how did you guys get the bones? (like where to get them from)

[carmine lily]

https://i.imgur.com/iHU8KrQ.png Heres what I've got, and I still have the issue. Also, with the default import settings have the whole skeleton rotated 180 degrees.

[pure kayak]

thanks, if possible a ping would be amazing if theres a fix

[jade forum]

considering 3dsmax and blender users get the exact same problem surely there's a problem somewhere else

[tidal latch]

ahh, 180 deg issue something different 🙂

[carmine lily]

Well, The weights don't work either when loaded onto the character.

[pure kayak]

so it seems 3ds max and blender have the same problem

[carmine lily]

Yea, I did that.

[tidal latch]

you need to rotate model in importer (in importer, not in mesh)

[carmine lily]

It fixes the rotation, but the mesh doesn't animate with the character.

[pure kayak]

^ this is the issue i have too

[tidal latch]

and is something as simple as helmet working for you?

[pure kayak]

My rigging does work too by the way and i used blender, its just when placed onto a prefab item

[carmine lily]

I've copied the prefab from the base M88, replacing the worn model, so I'm not sure what the issue might be?

[pure kayak]

^

same in my case

[lofty cedar]

Reforger Samples

[potent crystal]

🥲 this is pain

[tidal latch]

this again different issue

[potent crystal]

Helmets are like a pain to figure out to Just get in the Arsenal overall

[pure kayak]

that issue is the one i've been trying to describe

[potent crystal]

And it’s to the point that I can’t even touch my project folders without it crashing

[pure kayak]

its, working in the mesh viewer (the rig) but ingame it doesn't animate

[tidal latch]

so same custom helmets are also not working for you?

[carmine lily]

Let me check real quick, From what I looked at with reimporting the FBX samples, They suffered the same issues.

But maybe I missed something this time around.

[tidal latch]

so you loaded sample helmet to max and it was not working?

[carmine lily]

No, I loaded only the sample character for my KLMK smock. As I wanted to use the existing weights on the base character to cheat on weight painting.

Also to match with the hands, etc.

[tidal latch]

ah, I was curious if it also happens with something as simple as helmet

[pure kayak]

it happens with anything gear related

[tidal latch]

as I mentioned, it's not working due to that armature bone

[pure kayak]

but the rig in the mesh viewer works

its onlky the INGAME one

[tidal latch]

it's not working in game since skeleton has match base body

and base body doesn't have Armature bone

[pure kayak]

the rigging works though

[tidal latch]

yes

but it's not going to work in game due to issue that I mentioned

[inland ginkgo]

https://imgur.com/UQU2MdX this the right rig? Got it from the headgear (newcharacter) sample

there

[spark raptor]

You could try adapting this to the version of Blender you're using, it's basically commenting out 3 lines:

https://krisredbeard.wordpress.com/tutorials/tutorial-prevent-blender-fbx-exporter-adding-extra-root-bone/

[carmine lily]

Okay

Sample helmet works

but I didn't import and export it from 3ds max

just as is from github.

[lofty cedar]

There are a few files in there, pick whichever one applies best to you. Whether it's custom character, headwear, or weapons... there may even be more

[carmine lily]

So I'll import and export and see if it breaks then

[tidal latch]

could you try it out of curiosity?

[inland ginkgo]

I kinda need a vest sample

but there isn't one :/

[tidal latch]

steps for vest are basically same as for helmet

[inland ginkgo]

Yeah

[carmine lily]

Okay, So it works, both the samples and by importing into 3ds max and exporting, the mesh works perfectly. I'm guessing the sample character is busted or something, I assumed that the sample character had the same set up as it would for the helmet if not more so.

[tidal latch]

and can you try loading character template and exporting it from max?

[carmine lily]

Yep, 1 sec

[pure kayak]

been messing with the skeleton trying to get it to work

is Scene_Root > Root correct?

[tidal latch]

yes

have you tried #enfusion_model message this yet?

[pure kayak]

i did a workaround like that yes

it still doesn't work

[winter current]

what sets the interaction actions exactly? i do see the actionmanager component but in the model that's defined by the armature? memory points? i can't figure out why i can't get in my car basically

[carmine lily]

https://i.imgur.com/sUzxyyE.png So I imported and exported the sample character, and everything seemed to be fine. Had 163 bones in total. I decided to give my custom mesh a try, and the mesh seems to be animated now! but the weights are completely messed up and I'm not sure what I did wrong. The weights are fine in 3ds max so not sure why it would be messed up like this?

[tidal latch]

ah, tried it but it doesn't work

[inland ginkgo]

progress....

[tidal latch]

are you sure vertices are not skinned to more than 4 bones?

[inland ginkgo]

progress is made

[carmine lily]

Let me see, I have a feeling that there is definitely verts skinned with more than 4 bones.

[pure kayak]

if any of you guys work it out in blender or the devs make a fix please ping or dm me about it

[carmine lily]

Okay, so I set bone Affect Limit to 3(and then 2) and it's still exactly the same.

[winter current]

this action thing is driving me nuts cause it's also literally the only thing missing completely from the guide on the wiki, i need more coffee

[tidal latch]

@winter current on equipment you mean?

[winter current]

vehicles

[dark cedar]

https://youtu.be/E_didDgUjn0

if only

[winter current]

"How actions are working and how to add custom one" that part is missing from the guide posted on the wiki

[carmine lily]

https://i.imgur.com/VedAd01.png

🥳

[tidal latch]

thanks @carmine lily for testing it some small fix. Samples will be updated today with correct character template 🙂

[pliant pendant]

so what was the problem?

[tidal latch]

some mambo jambo when exporting from maya to fbx

this is not going to fix Blender issue though - as I mentioned, it is completely different problem

[pliant pendant]

so it's fine from 3ds max?

[tidal latch]

yes

[pliant pendant]

I feel like maya always has issues trying to work with other things

[tidal latch]

or any other autodesk software

[pliant pendant]

3ds max is usually fine

it seems to have the least issues exporting FBX from my experience

[tidal latch]

eh, it was more my fault. I'm generally now using Blender more often and I probably missed some option when exporting to fbx

[pliant pendant]

I still can't get over maya not even allowing you to name your objects with numbers

[tidal latch]

haha, yes

[fathom bolt]

So extract anim from Blender don’t work properly at the moment ?

[tidal latch]

animation export from Blender to enfusion is working - you just need to use TXA exporter from Enfusion Blender Tools plugin

[fathom bolt]

Ok good

And you confirm that the part for hands anim for weapon will be published today ?

[tidal latch]

I hope that at least basics will be there, in any case, this is question for #enfusion_animation

[fathom bolt]

Thanks

[inland ginkgo]

So... Are you using blender or another software?

[jade forum]

he's in 3dsmax

and is technically cheating, since he used a fixed version of the character template that isn't on github yet

[inland ginkgo]

where did he get the fixed version

[jade forum]

as long as you're exporting directly to TXA from blender, things should work once the fixed character template is public

[inland ginkgo]

yeah im trying to export my vest with the bones

[jade forum]

from a bohemia person, so I don't think he's allowed to share it. And I only know because I've been backseat developing with him lol

[tidal latch]

even though there will be update to samples today, keep in mind that this is not going to fix Blender issue ( see #enfusion_model message )

[calm rune]

As someone who owns way too many blender addons. Out of curiosity which addon is it that gives us the fix?

[tidal latch]

https://blendermarket.com/products/better-fbx-importer--exporter there is option to ignore armature node

quite pricey

[inland ginkgo]

I guess i'll just wait then

I am however not even getting any bones detected when I import my fbx to enfusion

[jade forum]

you need to fiddle with the import settings

can't remember the exact ones

[carmine lily]

https://i.imgur.com/uGcMbKp.png

These are what I use to get the bones working

[inland ginkgo]

ight

[carmine lily]

they are in the import settings on the right for workbench

[inland ginkgo]

cheers

good work you are doing btw

[tidal latch]

this is part of documentation that will be released soon.

[round orbit]

Are the templates up :D

[tidal latch]

ETA is today evening

[knotty cedar]

Collider Shape:

Name for collider shape model = COLLIDER SHAPE_name_of_the_object = UBX_Car or UCS_wall1_part1 for example.

Collider shapes (primitives, which can be created in most 3d software) and their correct naming prefix:

UBX_ - box
UCX_ - convex
USP_ - sphere
UCS_ - capsule
UCL_ - cylinder
UTM_ - triangle mesh (trimesh)

[pliant pendant]

so what's the deal with fire geometry now? I looked at the BTR and the FG in that seemed like it was just a regular low poly mesh, not made up of a bunch of convex components

[knotty cedar]

Ehm, are you checking out Colliders section of BTR? It has like 50 convex collider shapes (used as fire geometry) 😄

[inland ginkgo]

are the import settings permanent when importing other stuff or do I have to reimport?

[pliant pendant]

it had colliders but the one that had FG in its name was just a single simple mesh

[spark raptor]

When a new .xob is created from a newly imported .fbx it gets it's own import settings.

[winter current]

progress, i can drive my car now lol. but the wheels and steering move in the opossite directions lol

[misty cave]

intentional fr

[inland ginkgo]

thanks

[pliant pendant]

oh yeah but I mean for the body

[inland ginkgo]

do you guys also have a really long loading time when importing and rebuilding resources like assigning new materials?
I assume its cpu based ofc but it takes a fair while for me.

[knotty cedar]

I think I know what you are getting at, basically you can combine usage of simple primitive colliders and triangle meshes (UTM_ prefix)

[pliant pendant]

I'm talking about the UTM_FG_body component

it seems to be all of the external armor as just one mesh

with an armor material

not like in Arma 3 where the body had to be made up of a bunch of convex components

being able to use triangle meshes for fire geometry will be very useful

[winter current]

it's basically the same idea but now we have prefixes for the shape itself for optimization purposes

[pliant pendant]

building the armor entirely out of convex components took a really long time in A3

if it was a more complex shape you'd have like 200 components

[knotty cedar]

Yes this is great way to deal with complex shapes, you can create a lowpoly UTM_ (custom triangle mesh) which saves a ton of effort and even polygons as opposed to building the whole complex thing out of seperate primitive components

[pliant pendant]

so far I'm glad the two things that were the most time consuming for vehicles in A3 appear to not be a thing anymore

shadow lods and firegeo out of convex components

I assume it's still one material per component though?

[knotty cedar]

Not for Trimesh 🙂 You can assign multiple game materials (physmats) to different polygons/faces. You need to make these material assigns in Blender (or wherever you created your model to be exported to fbx)

[pliant pendant]

oh does the triangle mesh in firego not even need to be closed?

it doesn't seem to be on the BTR

the part where the turret would go looks to be just open edges

if I just need to make a simple mesh for the body and apply different armor thickness materials to different faces, that will make creating firegeo so insanely simple compared to A3

[knotty cedar]

It's not a technical requirement to have Trimesh be closed mesh but just know that backfaces don't react.

[swift goblet]

how do i add a model to a faction when on zeus?

to be able to spawn it

[abstract burrow]

I understand that now there is no division into FG and Geometry lods?

[pliant pendant]

looks like it's just collision and FG geometry

[knotty cedar]

Well for certain situations/assets you may still want to seperate FG and View geometry, you can do so by creating seperate colliders with each assigned to the correct LayerPreset

[abstract burrow]

In arma 3 I make full-fledged armor with all thicknesses and full-fledged materials with their own densities and types of surfaces. Is it possible here too?

[pliant pendant]

looks like you can, it's just much simpler

you can just make one mesh for the body and apply different thickness materials to the appropriate faces

looks like physical materials with thickness still exist

[knotty cedar]

Yea you can use different components with different physmats (that determine penetration and stuff) or you can create convex/trimesh colliders and assign different materials to different face/polygon selections like that.

[abstract burrow]

Hmm. Ok. Thanks

[dense pelican]

@inland ginkgo Any amateurs of equipment in blender? looks amateur nothing

[misty cave]

it crashes everytime i reimport something

[inland ginkgo]

Could you elaborate sorry. Not sure what you mean.

[round orbit]

1. I created a new mod in Enfusion Workbench.

2. Import 3D model into Enfusion Workbench for it to generate my files. https://imgur.com/a/j56Qskx

3. Configure my Enfustion tool to my new generated folder in my documents. https://imgur.com/a/EqIdwmM

4. Import my FBX that is in the same generated folder through the EnfusionTools tab. https://imgur.com/a/iXKSiW2

5. Rename my collection to LOD0. https://imgur.com/a/TPPQ3mW

6. Add a collection, rename it to Colliders.

7. Add a mesh cube, rename the mesh cube to UBX_Vest_JPC.

8. Rename my mesh data to firegeo.

9. Export as FBX file over the old one. https://imgur.com/a/aGqLZ8U

10. Getting layer mask error. https://imgur.com/a/OBNacfG

What am I doing wrong, what must I do?

[dense pelican]

In the basic sample, the vertex group of the soldier body is assigned to the equipment. my guess that all types of clothes have to be vertex group and amateur together.

or maybe related transnfer weight paint

[inland ginkgo]

im not using that example, i just imported the 'Headgear_Example' fbx for the armature

instead of opening the .blend file

[knotty cedar]

Looks like LayerPresets (applied to collider to specificy usage of said collider) are missing, it's something speficified in fbx, so in blender before export. I may be able to assist with this after I have lunch 🙂

[round orbit]

Thanks! I am trying to do my research but I haven't done any of this before. Any help would be lovely thank you!

Hi,guys, I want to ask about the normal smoothing model, I can choose "By impedance angle" by Shift+E in ARMA3 tool OB to achieve the normal smoothing function, but I don't know how to achieve this function in Enfuison

[spring ferry]

Any idea how to apply transformations?

I'm trying to adjust a magazine relatively to the weapon

Or is it not possible and I should do it in a model itself?

[dense pelican]

ARAM is the same, my guess. There is weight paint and this is related to the vextex group. The vertex group of the soldier body must be transferred to the equipment.

[pliant pendant]

check your normal map whether it's directx or opengl, I'm not sure which enfusion uses but yours might be the opposite

if yours is directx try exporting opengl instead and vice versa

[hidden yarrow]

Its directX

[eager hill]

You can do it in prefab settings. Muzzle component should have Magazine Position property at the bottom. https://imgur.com/LVMFDgF

[pliant pendant]

you mean enfusion uses directx normal maps?

[hidden yarrow]

Yeah

[tidal latch]

don't forget to add snap_weapon thing to magazine

[drowsy heart]

I try this is not work

[pliant pendant]

does it look different?

[inland ginkgo]

i used opengl normals and they worked

[drowsy heart]

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PQhHZK_4gm07JhUzs2HvLb6HBAhK1Pwk/view?usp=sharing

[pliant pendant]

yeah that looks the same

it either didn't export from SP or didn't import into enfusion

[eager hill]

What should I do with collider? I keep getting error about it https://imgur.com/XWfnqm5

[hidden yarrow]

Maybe check your export and see if the normals are actually on there?

[tidal latch]

do you have enfusion blender tools installed?

[eager hill]

yep, and added that data folder

this is the error I get https://imgur.com/Z3Aso8v

[tidal latch]

click on UTM_Weapon and assign some game material

afterwards, you might need to click on that arrow and then reimport it again

[eager hill]

I get some kind of python error in blender. I'll try to reinstall addon

[tidal latch]

make sure that that data folder is first entry in addons list

alternatively, you an change assigned material in import settings

[eager hill]

can you show me how settings of tools in blender should look?

[tidal latch]

do you think you could wait a little bit? I will post pics to wiki in ~30 minutes

[eager hill]

no problem with that

[knotty cedar]

[vivid raft]

What are enfusion blender tools? And where can I find these?

[knotty cedar]

Arma Reforger Tools on Steam

[knotty cedar]

Keats if you DM me a .zip containing your mod data I can have a look in workbench myself

[vivid raft]

ahh...I thought there is an addon for blender for modellers

[knotty cedar]

There is, it can be found here if you have Arma Reforger Tools installed on Steam: Steam\steamapps\common\Arma Reforger Tools\Blender

[drowsy heart]

Ok thanks a lot, I'll go upload the ZIP now

[glad sable]

@tidal latch sorry to disturb you. Do we have a fix for Blender bones issue?

[spring ferry]

the weapon modding guide mentions using Assets_Showcase_Base.ent world to preview the weapon

how do I get this world into my project?

[tidal latch]

only this one - #enfusion_model message

[tidal latch]

try launching SampleMod_Main addon

it will load all other addons

[mental onyx]

Is it possible to merge multiple .xob's into one? I have a riflescope and scope rings separate.

[glad sable]

Ouf too pricey 😠 Any free option or do we need to wait for a fix?

[tidal latch]

I've tried other solution which is super ugly and basically one time - you can copy paste TXO of your helmet, name it somewhat differently, open txo in text editor and then reimport it. Hacky as hell. Otherwise we will see what other options are there. There are few but it might range from few days to weeks

[tidal latch]

you will have to add other samples to enfusion project launcher

all dependencies have to be there basically

[swift anvil]

Hello, I can't find how to debug this collider would you have a solution please?

[spring ferry]

Appreciated 👍

[spring ferry]

Any idea what causes this:

[eager hill]

I got it to work just a second ago. There had to be some kind of conflict between blender addons, because it works now after using new install of blender. Both, the old and the new one are 3.1.2 versions

[knotty cedar]

You must apply LayerPreset to colliders in Blender

[winter current]

and make sure to check export custom properties when exporting or else they won't appear correctly in wb

[knotty cedar]

Hard to tell without seeing your collider section in Workbench or your scene hierarchy/model naming in blender.

[timid onyx]

I am new to this scene, and want to do uniforms/headgear. Will there be a guide eventually on the process in the wiki.

[gloomy stump]

Yeah, no one knows how long until then though.

[calm rune]

So I duplicated an exsisting prefab and replaced the model with my own but Im still seeing the handrails and mag from the old one and they are gone all loopy - https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/289868433229742091/976847302281011240/unknown.png

anyone have a fix for this?

[eager hill]

@calm rune Those are other prefabs that are attached to the weapon prefab. If you search for m16 prefab, you should take that base one. It won't have a handguard

Alternatively you can also remove them in prefab components

[swift anvil]

I try this and I call u

[mental onyx]

I've configured my own attachment prefabs with scope, bipod and suppressor

[mental onyx]

How could we make suppressor and bipod work? Since there isn't any working basegame examples of that. I guess it would have to be scripted? Sucks tbh, specially the bipod thing 😦

Hello together,
is there a Faces Move Top function in Workbench? or similar for textures?

[tawny summit]

Try moving the gun itself if possible

[eager hill]

you mean in blender?

[tawny summit]

Into the hands

[eager hill]

I'm not sure what do you mean

[tidal latch]

he means that you select all objects and move them around, until weapon fits into hands

[eager hill]

I'll try that

I guess it works https://imgur.com/P7yMsfh

anyone attempted custom animations?

[simple meteor]

what manipulations are necessary for the colliders to work?

[rain wadi]

Add the "RigidBody" component to your prefab and configure it

omg thanks 🙏

shadow is generated by engine with the 3d model ?

Yeah

Thx

[simple meteor]

@tacit eagle

how can I know what I'm doing wrong https://prnt.sc/6RsJVNamQBQB

[deft owl]

I believe there are specific naming conventions for geometry pieces. Check if you named them correctly by referencing samples. Someone also posted a list of them but I forgot where

[lime comet]

it's pinned in this channel, the Colliders naming convention

[simple meteor]

I think i'm good ? https://prnt.sc/cU1C6u85_Im-

even if it's in yellow when I check "show invalid shapes" colliders works

[deft owl]

Maybe try using multiple simples like boxes? There might be limitations with mesh colliders idk tho

[bright raft]

Can prefabs be ported from one project to another?

[simple meteor]

I tried with box before same thing

[deft owl]

Did you set the layer for the geometry piece?

You can do it in blender or in import settings in workbench

[simple meteor]

do you mean that ? https://prnt.sc/54j2DV5VDijI

[deft owl]

Yes

Im not sure then

[simple meteor]

thanks anyway

[deft owl]

What about export settings, did you include keep custom properties? I remember seeing that somewhere

[simple meteor]

I didn't change any export settings

[fathom bolt]

hi someone know who can i play different sound with one prefab ? like i don't know for a weapon

in component

[wheat bay]

How do I set an imported model as a model I can spawn in game like a prop? And or is there already documentation on this?

[inland ginkgo]

same issue, you have to wait until the devs release correct skeleton.

and use 3ds max instead of blender

[lime comet]

resolved the Colliders invalid layer mask by exporting FBX with 'custom properties' enabled in Blender. But I still can run through my .xob cube in the world - do I need to give it a prefab/config to make it a 'real' game object?

[simple meteor]

@lime comet I think it's your problem

[lime comet]

Thanks, but I have a more basic prob right now, how do I get a .et prefab for my xob?

or do I just copy any and manipulate?

[simple meteor]

I don't know sorry

[lime comet]

I think your advice is spot on with RigidBody, at least the prefab I placed (some barrel) shows this, but my object only has MeshObject

[eager hill]

I've loaded tutorial world and placed the weapon prefab around player spawn. In world editor you can press green arrow button at the top and it'll start the game inside the editor.

[timid tartan]

appreciate it bro

[hidden yarrow]

Add component i think

[inland ginkgo]

Get a et prefab from the base game, duplicate it, then edit prefab to use your model and save

[rain wadi]

indeed

[tidal latch]

you can use skeleton attached to head example

[inland ginkgo]

does the current skeleton work if you use 3ds max?

[rain wadi]

Launch the World Editor. Drag and drop your xob from your ressource browser into the viewport. Add the components you need. Select the GenericEntity you just created and drag/drop it in your ressource browser again. Name it and it will create a .et file. You now have a prefab.

[tidal latch]

for head? yes

[inland ginkgo]

alright, because I'm using the head thing with blender which ofc doesn't work due to blender. I'll be testing 3ds soon

[fathom bolt]

no body know how to change the sound with differents attachments ?

[lime comet]

Awesome, the RigidBody component is now assigned to the prefab .et file, can still run through my cube, but it's a huge step forward, thanks!

[tidal latch]

is it with 3ds max? If yes, then you have most likely some error in configuration

[lime comet]

set the RigidBody up like this (SimState: Collision, Response Index: NormaL, Model Geometry checked, Static checked) and it works now: https://tetet.de/arma/reforger/reforger-rigidbody.png

[swift anvil]

It does not work :/

[swift anvil]

same prob 😢

[tidal latch]

are you exporting FBX with custom properties enabled?

[steady cairn]

Guys, if somebody know, what's my problem
Adding any model and one or two sides are not visible, what problem can be?

format fbx

[hot pumice]

any info on the size limit of models?

[fathom bolt]

faces orientations maybe
to do it well make 2 faces one outside, one inside
1 face 1 point of view

[steady cairn]

it's a doubling of effort

[fathom bolt]

yeap

First 3D model ?

[steady cairn]

it's can't be such dumb

[fathom bolt]

finally work ?

[steady cairn]

yes and no

[inland ginkgo]

yep

[twin oriole]

So I've got my gun model now what next 🥲

[fathom bolt]

gg

[steady cairn]

first experience in tools

[eager hill]

now create a prefab. Or just be lazy like me and place m16_base prefab, change mesh in MeshObject component and then drag that prefab back to resource browser

[inland ginkgo]

even got vests to work

[twin oriole]

You're talking to me like I'm somebody who knows what the hell he's doing 🤣

[fathom bolt]

it's so simple... dude rly ? 😂

[normal quail]

@eager hill Tell me your a rovers fan 😄

Apparently I'm having trouble with geometry..

[eager hill]

what's wrong?

[eager hill]

rovers?

[bright raft]

Pretty janky but works

[eager hill]

How did you get that scope to work?

[bright raft]

I duplicated vanilla scope prefab
Then inside my model added extra lens which later become rendertarget inside workbench
Then added bones for eye
And it started to work

Then just added my custom reticle texture for SpecterDR

a bit buggy with fov

[eager hill]

Doesn't sound too complicated

[eager hill]

I've seen somewhere a setting for fov

[bright raft]

Yes there is, changed it and it now works, but there is a slight bump during animation

bump in fov*

[eager hill]

Also in sights component there is something called camera recoil amount

[bright raft]

Yeah seen that one, will change it maybe later ;d

love component based structure

[eager hill]

it's great. I wonder if it's possible to add attachments on top of other attachments

[bright raft]

Did not go that far 😄

[eager hill]

It'd allow us to make mlok-picattiny attachments

[round orbit]

Does reforger accept proxies like DayZ? Essentially I want to have a vest with slots on it, when you put a certain pouch in that slot, that pouch shows up on the model but that same slot can be switched out by other pouch and the new pouch updates the vest model?

What do the numbers at the end of the material stand for

[gloomy stump]

https://github.com/BohemiaInteractive/Arma-Reforger-Samples

[round orbit]

So even after using a sample, I don't have the option to choose my layer when selecting my UTM https://imgur.com/a/Rl5EGx2

[winter current]

If you check the vehicle sample prefab there's a component that handles the glass windows of it, which are setup in a similar way to proxies like in dayz, i haven't played around with it but it caught my attention due the glass windows being separate models from the main mesh

[warm mist]

Does the engine still require different LOD States? or does the engine auto generate them for 3d assets??

[deft owl]

Anyone get this error when trying to add a wheel position to an axle on a VehicleWheeledSimulation?

How do we make a generic house or structure

are there any samples

[mental onyx]

https://i.imgur.com/YTclhlr.jpg

Originally a project I wanted to do in A3, but with my extremely limited scripting skills I never could implement it with the features I wanted sadly.

[knotty cedar]

LODs must still be created manually (or partially automated within 3d software) however we now use fewer geometries. I.e. no more need to make shadowlods

[eager hill]

How should we use SuppressorComponent? I suppose it's intended for muzzle devices or at least name suggests it https://imgur.com/a/wwGAdaq

[eager hill]

If we want to change sounds or recoil of the weapon, should we do it as child of this component or add certain things to the attachment prefab?

[wheat bay]

Has anybody been able to create Game Master Prefab Assets that you can access in the menu?

[fathom bolt]

it's my problem now i need to disable muzzle flash when i have an accessory but i dont understand who

[fathom bolt]

i've make a suppressor but i need to change all the sounds (but we have the bis documentation) but for muzzle flash :/

please let me know if you find a way to do it

i've searching in the GL prefabs i didn't found anythings and i've tried multiple component and architecture but can't overwrite the base component

anyone here working with blender?

how to get from samples specific SampleMod_NewFaction a model into blender

Import --> FBX --> choose which sample you wish to import.

yes if we understand how to overwrite a component it's good

emat and META files work that way?

it doesnt

I am very fresh to modding and want to start with adding probs. I open the sample mod NewProb and open the FBXs in Blender to try to understand what is needed. There is meshes with NNN in the name. What are these meshes for?

I have understood that only Cube meshes are possible as Colider meshes? Is that right? How would you make a colider mesh for a round rock?

[last hill]

Do a quick discord search, been posted a lot already mate.

[last hill]

There was a list of each collider mesh, more than just cube. Can't recall but a search on the discord might find it.

[deft owl]

You can make a convex mesh

Check wiki for fbx import

@vivid raft

[vivid raft]

Thanks got it. In the example they use only box shape...I did not know you can use different names for different shapes.

Yeah you can

can someone point in the right direction to get my model placeable in GM?

[wheat bay]

I've been trying to figure that out myself

[sage bay]

yeah im not trying to remake a whole new GM mode if i dont have to

[wheat bay]

I think it has to do with the stuff here. There is a Config File that points to locations of Place able/Editable objects

I could be entirely wrong, but it's where my current knowledge has led me

[sage bay]

yeah no go

[zenith quartz]

I can't get any of my memory points to import.

Or bones.

That using the old character rig or they give the new one?

[zenith quartz]

Er sockets I guess is what they're called now.

(Still called memory points in sample weapon.)

[lofty cedar]

Hey reyhard! I spent some time looking into how we could go about fixing the extra armature bone that's seen when importing blender fbx's, and I found a fix! I'm happy to explain the process if you'd like. It's only a rename of the dummy node and a couple parents to make it come out the way the default weapons seem to. (It doesn't require any other blender plugins or addons)

Assuming, of course, you haven't already fixed said issue

For those of you not following, this is what the sample currently imports as:
https://imgur.com/pG1aokk.png

[zenith quartz]

Nvm I'm dumb I figured it out.

I'm curious why that and Export Skinning are not on by default

Will this make it so mem points are also imported?

I'm having a similar-ish issue.

Albeit my bones aren't even showing up as bones but as sockets...

I've gotten this far but it just doesn't recognize my bones.

Also w_slide_end and w_trigger_end appear for some reason.

[lofty cedar]

Don't forget to turn off the leaf bones on the fbx export settings

[zenith quartz]

Ah okay.

One works now haha.

What do I name the armature btw?

[lofty cedar]

That is the only bone it looks like? Your trigger bone didn't import

[zenith quartz]

Oh I removed it for now, no trigger on my test model.

[lofty cedar]

Otherwise everything in your last screenshot looks right aside from w_root being an empty instead of a bone 🤔

[zenith quartz]

w_root was my armature.

Buuuuut.

I reimported it with w_root as a bone.

[lofty cedar]

Yup

[zenith quartz]

The one above slide

That's a bone but not recognized...

Hmmm.

[lofty cedar]

You shouldn't need that one, as your armature acts as your root bone

Give me a moment

Not at my pc to take a screenshot

[zenith quartz]

OK. I can send my file if that'd help? I have no clue how armatures and such work haha.

Never used them before.
