buncha wips

[mental onyx]

Nice

[split rampart]

[zenith quartz]

And I have waaay more.

😅

[split rampart]

Probably something I'd get criticized for, but I love to just shove stupid abouts of ambient occlusion onto my stuff xD

[mental onyx]

Made this a while back https://imgur.com/Cx1S3ZR

One of the first proper models I made actually

[zenith quartz]

I'm just glad with PBR I don't have to play a guessing game with making things look good.

[mental onyx]

Yeah I hate how different things look in Substance compared to A3. Now what you see is what you get ingame as well.

[split rampart]

oh fuck I nearly bought the tutorial on gumroad for 43 bucks

on artstation for like 27

[zenith quartz]

omg it took 20 mins to remesh the slide

PAIN.

[eager hill]

Do you have any idea what's wrong with attachments? They worked and somehow stopped, even though I didn't change anything. I can't pick them up

I can see them in inventory, but I can't move them anywhere. Even interaction doesn't show

[fathom bolt]

You don’t have ArtStation ?

[mental onyx]

I do not no, I started because of Arma 3. And only about a year ago

[fathom bolt]

I’ve started with Arma 3 one year ago too now I’m gonna enter in private school for a diplome 😅

Thanks BIS ? 😅

[warm mist]

art station learning is a good way to learn a lot of the modern 3d pipeline...it's free as well

[eager hill]

Tried putting attachments on top of the other attachments. I guess it isn't possible. Or I don't know how to do it

[hot pumice]

has anyone figured out if there is any sort of model size limit?

[glad sable]

Is there a way to get default game models?

[knotty cedar]

Only samples 😅

If you mean fbx source files

[fathom bolt]

with a components attachments in the attachments prefab ?

you need memory point

[willow sage]

How many tris should be on weapon ?

[eager hill]

exactly

[fathom bolt]

and u can press space on it or no ?

[glad sable]

Yes I mean fbx source files, just wanted to add some extras to models

[eager hill]

what does it do?

[fathom bolt]

it opened the inventory of it

try with a weapon

[eager hill]

i was clicking twice on it but it did nothing

[mental onyx]

BTR70 in the game is 175k faces if thats what you meant. Or physical size?

[eager hill]

space doesn't work as well. I can put the first thing on the weapon

[fathom bolt]

i think you need the weaponcomponent and for child attachmentslotcomponent

[eager hill]

I'll try that

[fathom bolt]

but with that i dont think it gonna keeping the main attachments working

[eager hill]

main attachment doesn't do anything. It's an adapter from mlok to picattiny

[hot pumice]

physical size
in arma you had a 100 from center limit for geometry and an even smaller for roadways
are there any similar limitations in enfusion?

[fathom bolt]

i see

[mental onyx]

I am not sure

[eager hill]

but it could be useful for scopes for instance

[fathom bolt]

or

bypass it with an other attachments in the main rifle

with the good position

[hot pumice]

once I understand how to give collisions to objects I can test it

[fathom bolt]

but not very good

[eager hill]

nothing works. I could model it with mlok adapter, but it's not a good solution

[fathom bolt]

I will try too

[split rampart]

@zenith quartz just following that blender beginner guide again for the fun of it, then he does the bevel outer arc shape thing and my mind is blown lol

well it's my first time watching this beginner guide

[zenith quartz]

Hahaha.

[eager hill]

adapter is mostly for testing. But if we found a way to do it, we could for instance make the elcan specter scope that can have a red dot attached on top

[fathom bolt]

yes or angled aimpoint for long scope

[eager hill]

exactly

in arma 3 it would've been one object, but here whole attachment system is much much better so we can try to seperate it into 2 different pieces

[fathom bolt]

yes and now we're not limited with attachments or not 5 max

[round orbit]

https://gyazo.com/3ecf0faefd625bdfc3a69e65186febee

any idea why this is happening?

[split rampart]

can attachments have attachments?

can glasses, face masks, and beards be different slots

if so, the future is now

[willow sage]

Are you searching for one ?

I have one modeled somewhere.

[swift anvil]

Hello, I absolutely can't get my character to carry my items and use them as my weapons or anything. Do you have a tutorial or can you help me please

[eager hill]

I'd be glad, for now I'm trying to use default scopes

[willow sage]

PM or here ?

[eager hill]

I don't think I can do anything with the default ones though because they don't have memory points

[split rampart]

Oh! one thing I noticed when playing was backpacks were made up of attachments, you couldn't move em around or anything, but that suggests to me that you could

[eager hill]

can be here if you don't mind

[split rampart]

I am excite

[willow sage]

sure

[swift goblet]

the armature problem, theres a fix?

[eager hill]

The problem is I have no clue what to do with it lmao

[fathom bolt]

like the ARII scope

put a glass in 3d

[eager hill]

It's basically ARII scope but with changed model

[fathom bolt]

yes but one second

[lean spruce]

Is that a Boxer? 😮

[fathom bolt]

in 3d :

https://imgur.com/a/MGWauyh

i hope it's clear 😄

[eager hill]

now I know even less than I did 😄

[zenith quartz]

Yeeee.

[fathom bolt]

you need to have lens

[eager hill]

as a separate model?

[fathom bolt]

no in your model

https://imgur.com/a/TnKFnFu

like this

1 black face and a lens

to close your model

[eager hill]

I see

[fathom bolt]

u can isolate material

in workbench

[eager hill]

I get it how it works now

[willow sage]

😄

Omg * Ups

[valid torrent]

god damn the emission setting is amazing

[fathom bolt]

Very good !

[fathom bolt]

we can't at this point

[eager hill]

That's a pity

[willow sage]

textures

it is like 2 years old and dont had knowledge how to do suff then

[lament solar]

Ey i've been reading the chat and got my armature and first vis lod of a pants into workbench

it's weighted correctly but when trying to move the bones in the world editor the mesh doesnt follow them

Can't post images pog

[cunning vessel]

We started porting our A3 mod (S & S) to Reforger

[lament solar]

It says bones 0 + 241

[teal temple]

on which lod do I set colliders

[lament solar]

Yes and the armature is assigned in it

i select both then export as fbx

[swift goblet]

how did you guys fixed the armature problem?

[lament solar]

"export skinning" is also enabled

and i reimported it

very odd

oh yeah and it imports backwards

while the vanilla stuff are facing in the correct direction

I've seen people have working jackets and vests so it has to be possible

[swift goblet]

theres a bug with the armature

some people have made a way to work with the bug

doing changes to the armature

but idk how they did that

[lament solar]

So it's probably best wait until they upload a correct sample file

[swift goblet]

if you use maya you dont have that bug

it happens only with blender

the bug is something that doesnt attachs the weight with the correct bone

[lament solar]

I've downloaded a modified armature someone uploaded here and am using that

[swift goblet]

i think

[lament solar]

Do you have any idea what it might be?

sadge

[swift goblet]

i tried using it but i have the same bug as SupeTroop

the weights arent imported

with the original armature weights get imported but the herarchy is messed

im gonna retry maybe i forgot something

[lament solar]

Is there some blender tool you guys use? I just export everything as fbx

don't know if thats the correct method

[swift goblet]

#enfusion_model message

[fathom bolt]

I have a problem with uv

in blender the texture are showed correctly but in enfusion no its like the uv map change

nop same problem

can we view the uv in enfusion ?

wrong texture -_-

but where i've made that 😄

[lament solar]

Ok I have fixed it I think

In Object Properties of your mesh in blender

there is a tab called relations

add your armature as the parent

my mesh shrunk for some reason but sclaing it by 100 put it back to perfect size

then I applied the scale

and bam

the mesh moves with the armature in world editor

Now I just need to make a prefab that uses it

[lament solar]

😄

i still have to get it working ingame and have no idea how

I guess i'll just inherit one of the vanilla prefabs and work off of that

[willow sage]

Bro, you are not only one

[lament solar]

We will all get there

[swift goblet]

i made it work! now i need to see how the weights works in this game xD

https://imgur.com/LjT0mTp

[lament solar]

looks perfect to me

[swift goblet]

i have unweighted vertex

[lament solar]

If you have modded a3 then weighting stuff for reforger sohuldnt be an issue

[swift goblet]

xD

[swift goblet]

thats the cause

[digital vector]

Good evening, do you know how to add a rigidbody to a building?

[ornate scaffold]

I have problems with exporting weighted model with skeleton.. every time it exports only model.. is there any trick ?

[sweet kettle]

I keep getting this log entry. Has anyone fixed this?

RESOURCES (E): Trying to create RigidBodyComponent on model @"Data/MK18/Main/MK18_Main.xob" without geometry

[swift goblet]

why material override doesnt work?

do i need to process the material for the object?

https://imgur.com/PtPB1DI

it still shows original material

[kindred timber]

I have a problem with the collisions. I created a cube as the collisionbox. When I go to Colliders it says "Invalid layer masks:1". In the list in UBX_Atm -> Interaction Layers it says "All interaction layers used"

nevermind I did everything from scratch and it works now

[swift goblet]

no one knows why doesnt work?

i dont want to have 20 models of the same backpack just becouse i want different textures

[mental onyx]

You probably need 20 prefabs

[swift goblet]

yeah but the prefab i made doesnt work

doesnt changes the texture

even with material override setted

[mental onyx]

Try and take the prefab you want to edit, drag it into the world editor. Right click on the prefab on the left hand side (The list) Click break Prefab Instance (Icon will turn red) Then do your changes, then drag the red icon into your folder and rename to your liking

[swift goblet]

thanks it worked

[mental onyx]

I'm not sure why that needs to be done sometimes, but it might be a bug or something. Use this for now as a workaround.

Hello guys, i'm planning to add new uniforms and gear into the game in a small mod pack, i was thinking about custom weapons too but the new animations system is filtering me out atm so i'll check on that later.
i would like to know how to retrieve texture files from the base models to do retex works on them and if it's even possible ( if not, i'll try to do my own models )

alright, modelling it is then

[mental onyx]

Any idea why my scope is detachable but not my other attachments?

I think it might be because I'm using the "BaseAttachmentType" Because my scope is using AttachmentOpticsM21

[last hill]

Hey guys, working on my m4a1 block 2 live on twitch, having an issue with my custom magazine model being offset when brought into the prefab? The default magazine position is correct, what x/y/z axis must my magazine model be set to for export?

[knotty cedar]

Guys watch his stream it's lovely 😉

[white sigil]

When I try export weighted model with skeleton and then import it into workbench it just missing skeleton.. any tips ?

[mental onyx]

Hey Lewd you showed a picture earlier of a pip scope that had the sightpicture being displayed upsidedown. How did you fix this? I have it similar but side to side

[last hill]

Make sure you set your import options to bring in skeleton and heirarchy

I don't have access to the normal one, do you mean the sample model?

[mental onyx]

Wdym? Its just a disc with a transparent texture. How can I know which way is up and down?

[white sigil]

this ? or in Blender ?

[kindred timber]

What is the difference between prefabs and prefabs_editable

[last hill]

@white sigil That and scene heirarchy

[white sigil]

Thanks! Nice rifle tho looks good!

[kindred timber]

How do I make a .et file out of my .xob file

[knotty cedar]

#enfusion_model message

[white sigil]

Start World Editor > Open any world > put xob into world > it will pop up as entity in left colum and then grab it from there and save it into your folder

okey now Im stuck with this.. 😄

it moves with skeleton in blender and in workbench too but as prefab it looks like this and it only rotates with body.. do I miss some bones ?

[mental onyx]

Thanks that worked! But I'm getting this intrusion into the sight picture https://i.imgur.com/mFRaH0B.jpg

You mean eye mem point in scope model or something else?

[ornate scaffold]

what determines this?

i got a similar issue

[white sigil]

Do you know how many bones is needed ? because hierarchy looks okey I just used sample and switched things 🤔

[kindred timber]

I really dont understand why my prop wont show up in the entity browser

[white sigil]

ah yeah I see now.. something went wrong at start.. left is mine and right is asset already ingame..

[kindred timber]

Do I have to edit anything else other than the NewProp_Props.conf?

[vernal trellis]

Apologies if this has already been asked, but when I set up textures why are they so blown out?

[mental onyx]

I've messed around with that but the black intrusion persists. Also if you look at the top of the reticle, you can actually see parts of my scope lense cover? https://images-ext-1.discordapp.net/external/AnYlU46TOLVwY3KvIoh_4C5nxwjM5WmInDJq5bWEcVI/https/i.imgur.com/mFRaH0B.jpg?width=1290&height=540

[knotty cedar]

Do you mean their thumbnails or how it looks in a regular image viewer? If so, that's because we store Roughness and AO in alpha channel(in case of _BCR and NMO). Engine interprets it differently than standard image viewer, hope I understood correctly and hope this helps

[mental onyx]

Wait disregard, that is actually the guns suppressor. The sight picture seems to be below the rifle? How is that even possible 😛

[vernal trellis]

in the tools it looks like this

while in painter it looks more like this

[eager hill]

make sure you connected both textures in the correct way

[vernal trellis]

Like this?

[eager hill]

Almost, you need to have correct maps

BCR stands for BaseColor/Roughness

NMO is Normal/Metallic/Occlusion

[buoyant kiln]

Click on white box (color) and and adjust the grayscale.

[eager hill]

Export preset should be in pinned messages I believe

[vernal trellis]

changeing the grayscale works, is there any rule of thumb for what it should be set to?

[buoyant kiln]

No, it's as you want. Enfusion brightened textures.

[vernal trellis]

alright good to know, thanks

[buoyant kiln]

Your Welcome.

[kindred timber]

If you find out how to add your finished prop to the Entity Browser in Game Master hit me up

[vernal trellis]

will do

[sick shard]

I have yet to try out making scopes yet but maybe a camera direction of some sort looks like it might be defaulting to the guns center point this happened with DayZ a lot of it was missing a memory point

[terse lintel]

@vernal trellis @kindred timber Give me a sec, I'll write up how to do it

Anyone know what causes this?

[terse lintel]

I have a model that collides fine with the player and other Entities, but not the terrain. Did I mess up the colliders or is the rigidbody at fault?

[round orbit]

So it's the hierarchy?

[shadow karma]

yes

[quasi sedge]

anyone can help regarding importing a backpack?

got the samples and my P3D, just a bit lost on where to start 🙂

@round kestrel Add datas in your addons.

[round kestrel]

Thanks, i now unzip the datas to an folder but nothing changed 😄

Still same error

[mental onyx]

Only way I can fix it is to manually change Camera point under 2DSights section of Scope prefab

I think I know whats missing

[fathom bolt]

I will try tomorrow for me (12h39 am here)

What ?

[mental onyx]

Snap_optic memory point

In scope model

[fathom bolt]

Oh possibly

[mental onyx]

That didnt fix it...

I give up for tonight

[kindred timber]

@terse lintel I had to update my .xbo do I have to redo this from the start or is there a faster method?

[terse lintel]

xob? your changes to a xob file will propegate to all prefabs using the xob

[kindred timber]

so i dont have to do anything?

[terse lintel]

Nope, should work

[kindred timber]

good

[lament solar]

I can't believe theres no way to copy a rig from one xob to another

the sample one seems to be fucked

i have no idea how to even begin fixing it

[round kestrel]

I think i give up, thats bullshit 😄
I did everything that the Installation Guide told me and it didn´t work 😄

I just did it like this guy, step for step.

Could you educate us how to export it correctly?

[final pulsar]

Try it 😉

Add \ at the end of path.

[astral oar]

lets go

[final pulsar]

I had the same error ! @round kestrel 😉

[round kestrel]

The \ is there at the end, cant ad one more 😄

[hidden yarrow]

Wrong path

[final pulsar]

Yep

U need to extract the zip folder and use this folder in ur path.

Unzip like this:

and use the path of the extracted folder.

And add the \ at the end of the path.

[mental onyx]

@tacit eagle https://i.imgur.com/JncY96w.jpg Would you happen to know what the most probably cause for this is? Its when I'm entering the scope

This might not even be a "problem" per say, but I am trying to configure PIP for a binocular class.

[grim crypt]

i have gotten the gun to work and movable parts to move BUT for some reason whenever you have the weapon in your hand all the movable parts go forward for some reason? im inheriting from the SVD, anyone got any idea of what to do?

[split rampart]

cry until it works

I know nothing about making a weapon but my assumption would be that if it's inherited from the SVD, it's animations might be off

you'd have to make a custom animation for the gun parts im guessing

then for the boy's animations

[grim crypt]

seems odd af tho, in dayz its 100x more simple.. just inheriting from the base class and lining up the model with the gun you are inheriting from and renaming the parts you want to move and boom! even if the gun is waaay off the movable parts stay with the model and work fine

tbf its EA and changes may be made, right now its more advanced than i expected

[split rampart]

Give it a month, it'll be beautiful

All the documentation and new mods 😩

I can't wait to see some total conversion work, Spartans from a Halo mod won't be weird work arounds, same for warhammer dudes

[grim crypt]

it is just a test after all, just wish it was as simple as dayz is cause that really is newbie friendly

i use the tutorial map, idk how to get that plane square everyone else uses

Marvelous Designer

[astral oar]

still adding some clothes also

[lament solar]

and then sculpting in blender

[split rampart]

I'd have to learn marvelous designer before I bought marvelous designer lol

[lament solar]

🏴‍☠️

[split rampart]

but between Arma Reforger and Blade and Sorceries armor update, good time as any to start learning

but I'll probably focus on gun

[lament solar]

i'll have to refurbish some of my weapons from a3

not looking forward to it

the implementation part i mean

[astral oar]

You have any suggestions on these settings

[lament solar]

depends what the model is

[astral oar]

clothing

[pure kayak]

damn, how'd you get it looking so good

Lot of trial and error. I've been modding arma 3for 6 or so years

[lament solar]

what have you got so far and I can tell you what to watch out for

[pure kayak]

lemme find an example

this is A3 but it was mostly made in marvelous

and i wanted to learn how to take it astep further

now that im moving to enfusion

[split rampart]

Does Enfusion use standard PBR or are there more maps I should be worried about? lol

[pure kayak]

it uses BCR maps and NMO maps

custom stuff, but its easy to fix up

[split rampart]

Probably possible to make a Enfusion Preset in SP

[pure kayak]

yeah it is

someone shared one here, i made one myself

[lament solar]

it's all about layering to get it look realistic

look at sewing templates online

[pure kayak]

i see, and one quick question about it, for tougher fabrics would you have any advice on that? like old wool uniforms for example, i always find MD makes them far too uh, soft

[lament solar]

there are some presets

[split rampart]

I haven't been surrounded by 3D artists who are better than me before

im scared

[lament solar]

I use denim raw

[split rampart]

[lone orbit]

im useing the m16 as a base but dk how to edit the animation for it

[pure kayak]

ahh i see, i'll try out denim raw

[lament solar]

try messing with uhh

i forget work in english

stickiness

no

[pure kayak]

pressure?

[lament solar]

no

fuck i'll start up MD

Friction

the cloth will want to slump down and will be baggy at the bottom only

which looks bad

if you up friction a bit it will wrinkle more naturally

[split rampart]

I probably won't learn how to do clothing for a while, but I'll definetly do retextures since a lot of the time in Arma 3 I was like "That'd be good in black"

[pure kayak]

well fuck i think that just fixed my wool problem

[pure kayak]

Wait, hang on a second

aussie man sighted

[split rampart]

lol im a hermit, I had no idea this Jim franchise thing existed, but now im hooked lol

[pure kayak]

ahh

[lament solar]

I thought you made that for a second

[pure kayak]

i've never seen somene outside of Aus talk about jims everything

[lament solar]

then I recognized the shape

[split rampart]

Yeah, the models base normal map is good enough that you can literally just throw on a color or a camo and it'll look great/good enough

[lament solar]

the AO helps alot too

[split rampart]

dat too

my solution to my models looking bad is to throw on unrealistic ammounts of AO until it works

works every time 😉

[lament solar]

that's what I used to do

[pure kayak]

absolute hero @lament solar

wool is fixed

not longer soft bendy bs

[lament solar]

oh and lower your particle distance before exporting

[pure kayak]

ah yeah, i do that one, i sit around 8

[lament solar]

my PC blows up with a complex piece of clothing if I set it to lower than 10

[pure kayak]

ah righty

tfw i used to work on 10 cause the md tutorails said so

[lament solar]

you doing ww2 stuff?

[pure kayak]

not exactly

its alt-history set after the weimar republic

but no nazi shit if ya get me

[lament solar]

i don't judge

[pure kayak]

i considered ww2 properly but i figured 5000 others will do the same shit

[lament solar]

sounds interesting

whats the scope of the mod?

[pure kayak]

mainly just basic units as of now

i work on and off on it

i did a stahlhelm somewhere here for it too

#enf_showroom message

[lament solar]

oh you even did an item model for it

i can't be fucked for now

[pure kayak]

well tbh it was an easy one

[lament solar]

i'd have to resimulate my stuff and fold them

then texture again

[pure kayak]

just proportional edited the strap

[lament solar]

yeah thats what I thought

[pure kayak]

ah yeah,i m just gonna do one of those per faction i think

i even thought make like a laundry bag

clothing bag or whatever

[lament solar]

yeah, one model fits all type thing

I might do that

[split rampart]

I hope that the clothing works the way I think it does, made up of parts that you can modify

even if I don't model clothing, I can do cool attachments for em

because if you look at the vests and the backpack, it's made up of pouches n canteens and stuff

[lament solar]

The uniform is broken up into pants, boots and jacket

which is great

reduces the amount of variants you need to do

since you can just mix and match

Idk if you can place stuff on vests like in that one dayz mod

[pure kayak]

you actually can but its disabled i remember reading

[split rampart]

yeah, but I mean the vest appears to be made up of parts, which can't be switched out at the moment, but I imagine that's a setting somewhere

[pure kayak]

you can double click the ALICE and theres pouches

[lament solar]

oh

Interesting

[split rampart]

I want the vietnam mod that will probably come to have a modifiable helmet that you can put playing cards into

also a camo slot system so you can just kinda throw whatever camo onto whatever clothing

doesn't sound like it's planned but should totally be possible

[lament solar]

what like net camo?

[split rampart]

that too

[lament solar]

oh you mean ingame you can swtich out camos on cloths

[split rampart]

yeah

[lament solar]

That would be great

woudln't make sense unless its in an arsenal

[split rampart]

I don't think clothing is set up for it, but guns can be switched to PBRcamo class which allows you to overlay camo over the entire gun

[lament solar]

if you can do it with guns you can do it with every asset

[split rampart]

yeah but clothing has a specific material class

and I think PBRCamo might override it

but theoretically, you could just make a custom class with the camo options

It's a SDK, anything is possible

Lol it's hard trying to explain to my friends why im so excited, it's because you can literally turn ArmA into any game now

Literally had one guy go "But is it as moddable as Skyrim? 🤪 "

[lament solar]

Goofy ahh

[ornate scaffold]

I placed some generic characters down in my test world but they dont seem to render over around 300m anyone know how i can change this so they render further?

[short yew]

Are there any good guides for vehicle creation out yet?

[split rampart]

the weapon creation documentation just came out

Vehicle is probably coming soon

[normal quail]

I am wanting that too. I am learning myself currently. I imported the FBX of the sample car into Blender and exported it back out to really see what was going on. Had an issue with the bones not loading, found out the reason why and got that problem solved. Its helped me doing it this way until the documentation comes out. Pretty confident I can now set up a car model in blender but still so much more to learn, animated doors, driver proxies ect

[celest rampart]

speaking of guides, one for uniform/gear modeling would be amazing. wanna know how to get the PASGT vest, as well as the m88 with goggles and scrim M88 into the arsenal box

unless there is one, and i'm completely blind

[astral oar]

hopefully arsenals gets some updates worried about mods conflicting with overrides

Okay!

For any mod makers you can run two arsenal overrides together

i was able to get both my drip jacket and headset to load even though they were different mods

[split rampart]

I hope there's some kind of virtual arsenal equivalent

the box is... not ideal

[last hill]

I have yet to manage to get my stuff into the arsenal 😞 I tried adding my rifle and magazine to a custom arsenal crate and it doesn't do anything, I might be doing something wrong but couldn't get it after an hour of trying

[astral oar]

sorry quebec

i beat you out bro

[celest rampart]

cag goon cag cag goo

[astral oar]

plate carrier has been hell for some reason with weighting

way easier with full vests for some reason

do you have a base one done you can send me?

thanks bb

Here is a small video showing how to add your finished prefabs to a arsenal! - Haven't tested but i'm pretty sure it will only let you add gear for the faction to it - So if you replace a soviet headgear you can only add it to the soviet arsenal

[tacit eagle]

Sheeeeeeeessshhh!!!

[tacit eagle]

[last hill]

I never tried using the override option, only duplicate.. my god that is so simple, I now see what you mean about conflicts though.

[astral oar]

From what i can see also

it shouldn't conflict with other mods

i was able to run both my headset and drip jacket mods

[last hill]

I guess because they are all unique guid codes

[astral oar]

yeah

probs combines them without replacing

i thought they would just replace and such

[last hill]

Great to know mate, will get on and set up my block ii when I am able to get back on

[astral oar]

❤️

i forgot ron had so many gun models

i got so much shit to do now

[last hill]

I am also going to try to get the microt2 and a few other bits I bought up and running.

[astral oar]

i wanna figure out guns

[astral oar]

chad

[last hill]

Fractured his right arm eh?

[last hill]

Would help if it was allowed mate.

[astral oar]

all good i haven't even touched them

Testing stuff

[lean spruce]

how the hell do I make a weapon fire? I'm so confused which component takes care of that...

[eager hill]

You need to add muzzle component as a child of weapon component

[lean spruce]

I do have a muzzle component, so that's good news 😄

[eager hill]

It'll be easier to inherit from other prefab though

[lean spruce]

I probably need to crosscheck with other prefabs

baby steps 😄

[eager hill]

Just drag existing weapon prefab into world editor, change mesh and drag it back to resource browser

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

[lean spruce]

Yeah, I should probably play around with that first before trying to create a mortar 😄

[eager hill]

You need also 2 memory points on your weapon

[lean spruce]

always? that's interesting

[eager hill]

One shows where is the chamber and the second one where muzzle ends

[lean spruce]

oh

so it creates the flight vector

[patent knoll]

[eager hill]

I suspect enfusion uses it to determine what is the direction of the muzzle

[ornate scaffold]

all the ammo types in one 🙂 how bad can it be?

[lean spruce]

can I not edit 2 prefabs at the same time? 🤔

[ornate scaffold]

drag them both into the world editor

then just click on the one u wanna edit and swap between the two

[lean spruce]

oh, ok 😄

ty

[astral oar]

Sorry sir

Hand over all your TFL mods

@inland ginkgo with a little bit of tweaks it's perfect

thanks for the weights baby

[torpid ledge]

If you're gonna do ripped shit, just don't post it on this discord

[astral oar]

I got perms

[lean spruce]

heh, now I crash when I click either mouse button with my weapon equipped 😄

[torpid ledge]

I was referring to this quebec guy

maybe he has perms too i dont know

[astral oar]

quebec is cute probs

[dark cedar]

https://youtu.be/WpkAPo7DqkY would be nice to have a mod implement these weapons

[astral oar]

[lean spruce]

no crash log

[delicate condor]

Perms to use ripped models?

[bright raft]

A question, is there currently any way to create new prefab from scratch? Docs only suggest dupicating existing ones

[astral oar]

From the devs yes

[delicate condor]

Is that in writing

[astral oar]

yes

I've shown it to one of the @bohemia.net already

I have rules to follow though with the perms i was given

[delicate condor]

What kind of rules?

[astral oar]

1. Give all due credit on all assets.
2. No monetization
3. Encourage downloaders to support RoN

When asked who to credit i was told Void Interactive

[delicate condor]

Alrighto. Good to see people going about it the right way.

[astral oar]

After yesterday and my closeness with the RON devs thought i might as well ask

[delicate condor]

Ah

I'm little sad you did not ask before doing..

[astral oar]

?

Ohh

i asked before i even touched anything believe me

[eager hill]

there is. Just drag the model from resource browser into viewport in world editor and it'll create a generic entity. Then add your components to it and move back to resource browser. It'll save as a prefab

It's just easier to use existing prefabs so you don't have to configure everything yourself

[bright raft]

Ok got it. Thank you 😉

[delicate condor]

Don't mean to drag this on but this is personal permission for you yes? Just making sure the rest here understand that they got to seek permission too or make their own models.

[astral oar]

It is only for me

[delicate condor]

👍 then again would make no sense to have 100 same models in mods anyway

[astral oar]

If someone wants perms it goes through the entire void team basically

I have a direct line to some of them so no emails needed

[primal wyvern]

btw 6b47 helmet made by u xD

[dense needle]

How to make bone on imported model ?

[primal wyvern]

time to update screens, because we make new boots/pants system xD

[delicate condor]

you guys jest. just remember to not bitch about it when you actually get booted

[dark herald]

when modelling items for reforged; what geometry can be used? Triangles? Quads? Total Triangles?

[fathom bolt]

How can i set the skeleton for a weapon ?

[dark herald]

#enfusion_animation will answer your question there

[knotty cedar]

You can usually model in quads, and even ngons or polygons (faces) that consist of more than four vertices (points), engine will often interpret it correctly and auto triangulate. As artist I personally encourage modeling in quads for this reason, it's a lot nicer to work with when making changes and stuff. Like if there's no need for triangulation of the source model, I wouldn't recommend it :)

Hence why I recommend quads 🙂

[dark herald]

thankyou 👍

[dark herald]

is it easy to change triangles for quads in design phase?

[knotty cedar]

All depends on what stage in the production process. If you're creating a model from scratch, early in production you are (depending on method) not working at a high level of detail, as a result you have fewer faces and they are typically larger ones. At that stage I personally recommended to model with quads in mind cause it allows you to use things like edge loop selections which is really handy and for sculpting you often need a base mesh with a proper model topology anyway, especially if you are working with things like character skinning/ animation, there topology is crucial. If the model you are editing was modeled in a similar way (but then triangulated automatically later) then it's possible for 3d software (at least Maya) to undo the triangulation so you get your quad topology back.

[daring condor]

generally you want quads where possible, so subsurfs dont go haywire, but there are obvious cases where you can just use tris.
ngons should be avoided where possible since they can get triangulated in funny ways leading to weird shapes

[lean spruce]

Are we currently able to switch which ammo we're using?

e.g. switching between HEDP and HE for the grenade launcher

[round kestrel]

Nope didn´t worked, still "Collider collection missing"

[tidal latch]

you have to sort objects first

then, you can use that tool on object in that collection

[hidden yarrow]

Hahaha nice work

[last hill]

Masking out the area might work? There was an option I recall seeing in my looking around, can't remember exactly

[dim gate]

hi guys, great news, i've managed to make this AK work
i do have one issue with it, for some reason the bones are not exporting properly and because of that nothing is animated on the weapon, there's also the iron sight not properly alligned when aiming but it's still look "correct" to work

[last hill]

Did you enable the skinning export etc on the Workbench xob import options, then click reimport?

[dim gate]

yes, i did followed the wiki entry about weapon configs

oh wait

i forgot to click reimport

let me try again

nah, for some reason it still show them as memory point instead of bone

[graceful oriole]

I am wondering how easy will it be to make custom characters with custom skeletons.

[last hill]

I thought I saw something about masking base models for clothing, but I have no idea where it was, possibly on the documentation for characters? I'm sorry mate, trying to remember off the top of my head

[calm rune]

In all seriousness are some of you guys actually stealing/ripping content and putting it on the workshop? LOL

[delicate condor]

just share it privately under the table

[willow sage]

I would like to see more '90 stuff, this era vibe is unbeatable.

[opal schooner]

https://imgur.com/a/bhRFKTQ Told myself I was going to start learning modding for arma 4 so here we gooo

[calm rune]

Actually a really good start.

[willow sage]

Nice p320

[opal schooner]

my man knows his guns

[calm rune]

Personally would have even picked something easier but your doing a fine job as is.

[willow sage]

No rule here.

[daring condor]

pistol seems fine for a start

[opal schooner]

I was going to do a glock but I thought were would probably be 100 glock mods out by now

[daring condor]

but something like a vehicle or rifle will make you want to jump

also be prepared to want to redo everything once your done

assuming you are new to modeling

[willow sage]

It's about that shape and what you want to recreate.

[calm rune]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/847516074715250769/972115294870994994/unknown.png

My first hard surface model was a scope lmao

[patent knoll]

anyone here up for making buildings for a Camp Pendleton map?

[daring condor]

mine was an ak-12 😬

i quit modeling for a year afterwards

[calm rune]

HAHA I could only assume why 🤣

[daring condor]

24k tris

and topology so bad i couldnt dream of reworking it

[opal schooner]

I've done some small projects, and yea that's what always stops me lmao, this time I just said fuck it if its not perfect I'm not going to worry about it

[willow sage]

Happens bro.

[daring condor]

in case anyone wants to do anything with it

[willow sage]

There is no point working on it because some models are designed to be created easier

I mean look at mk16 or mk17

And then on zmt mws15

Which one in your opinion is easier to make?

[daring condor]

true

[mortal sentinel]

how do you even begin to create an item? Like I want a pistol or a scope, do you get their exact measurements somewhere?

[daring condor]

thats the best way, yes

[willow sage]

Yeah sometime all you have is pictures

[calm rune]

Topo might be meh but not much for shading issues because of it.

[daring condor]

3d scan > technical drawings tho

[willow sage]

With no dimensions

[daring condor]

what i recommend

is getting pure ref

and as many images as possible

[mortal sentinel]

and you're making the stuff in blender, right?

[daring condor]

ye

this is my ref folder for an old project

[willow sage]

Twardy?

[daring condor]

no

pt-76

the swimming tank

its in cwr3

im just lurking here

i might try some stuff in enfusion

but rn im still working on a3

[daring condor]

what do you want to create?

[mortal sentinel]

not sure, haven't created anything yet, maybe try something simple. Was thinking maybe a grenade would be simpler

[willow sage]

Oh man wish you look, there is so much undiscovered possibilities.

[daring condor]

conex container is a great start

not too hard, not to simple

plenty of refs easily excessible online

[mortal sentinel]

oh, right maybe even a container could work

[daring condor]

or really anything

my workflow starts with gathering refs

[mortal sentinel]

oh and how do you color/texture stuff? You take something from reference pictures?

[daring condor]

and general information about the object

watching youtube doccumentaries etc

then i try to find a 3d scan or make one myself

[opal schooner]

I was going to try to make a metal target silhouette, You could maybe try that, should be pretty simple. Like this https://preview.redd.it/ymu04ipdxui81.jpg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e6e9261ecbf2ab0b46f10387eb02a9a339cfd356

[daring condor]

if that fails i look for blueprints

[mortal sentinel]

what's with the 3d scan?

[daring condor]

but i try to avoid all secondary sources

obv not always possible

[daring condor]

basically you take a ton of images, do some computer magic on it and it gives you a 3d model

mind you, not a really useable one

but it will usually have the general shape

so you can start to construct geometry around it

[mortal sentinel]

is there a software for this?

[opal schooner]

Blender has it's own texturing tools, if you find it interesting you could also look into substance painter, but that costs money and is more of a pro tool

[daring condor]

substance has a free student license

non commercial tho

but you can use it for modding

[mortal sentinel]

alright, I'll start with something I guess

not sure how far I'll get, I give up easily lol

[daring condor]

generally the best thing to do

well not giving up

but starting

dont expect your first model to look good

or your second or your third

[opal schooner]

@mortal sentinel the donut is everyone's first project, this is a great set of tutorials to get started, don't worry about messing it up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIoXOplUvAw

[mortal sentinel]

yea it'll look crap, but I feel like it won't be easy to create anything or I'll run into issues. One thing is to create the model, next is to get it into arma

[daring condor]

blender guru is annoying af

and i hate his videos

[opal schooner]

lmao

[daring condor]

but the donut totorial is great for learning blender

especially the interface

[opal schooner]

Yea I wouldn't go in blind, I feel like the UI might be a bit overwhelming at first and might just get frustrating quickly

[daring condor]

Also, I suggest going with shortcuts

The gizmos are slow

And tool hierarchy insane

[willow sage]

Done at least 60+ hours of gurus tutorials, he is absolutely the best for beginners.

[round kestrel]

Love you 😄
Thats what i didn´t knew.
Still learning thank you

[mortal sentinel]

aight, let's make a donut in arma

[round kestrel]

Want to make a "Bug" in Arma 😄

[round orbit]

Hello everyone, Ok so I got my vest working properly.

I have a few questions:

1. How do I make it so my vest doesn't float in mid-air when placing it into the world.
2. I don't get a prompt to pick it up or wear it when walking close to it, is this because I don't have a collider setup yet?.
3. When I remove the vest, it doesn't physically show up on the ground but I can use the Vicinity tab to reequip it.

https://gyazo.com/fd099a4829fdd0e406c25844330aab13
https://gyazo.com/d2558d1c98381dadb65332132b34b419

[kindred timber]

Does anyone know why I can still walk through my prop? I think I have setup everything correctly
https://prnt.sc/mHFDy2cbfjXZ

[terse lintel]

Collider shuld be PropViewFire and requires a rigidbody

[round orbit]

Ok, So when I remove the vest it appear again but I still don't have a prompt to equip from the ground.

[hidden yarrow]

that using remesh?

[eager hill]

correct

[hidden yarrow]

looks good

[eager hill]

decided to give that workflow one more chance. Weapon I added to the game earlier was done with bevel weight and subd

[kindred timber]

can still walk through

What does your fbx file look like?

[kindred timber]

https://prnt.sc/JHQ_JnQ1XNaT

did you mean this?

custom Properties is usage PropFireView (blocked by the context menu)

[round orbit]

Does your collider have a material assigned to it?

[kindred timber]

yes concrete

[round orbit]

I can't see your hierarchy from my phone

[kindred timber]

i added the material with the collider setup

[round orbit]

Ok when you're in enfusion do you see any colliders in your object collider tab

[kindred timber]

yeah it says Colliders (1/1) UBX_Atm

https://prnt.sc/YkeQ5BqUTV_h

[knotty cedar]

What do you see if you enable collider visibility in 3d viewport with the little purple/pink icon? Could be the collider is offset in position or something of that nature

[kindred timber]

A green cube where I want it to

The position is fine

Im trying to manually add a material to the collider cube now

nope didnt work

Trying to import a backpack, all is well until I equip it.

It becomes a penis pack.

[split rampart]

[quasi sedge]

If anyone can help me pls let me know, this is a bit annoying lmfao. headgear had no problem importing thanks to jromie

[lone orbit]

any one know how to put an image onto a model instead of a material.

[quasi sedge]

not sure

[oblique hinge]

check if there's a bone "armature" bone underneath the "root" bone

[quasi sedge]

in blender or enfusion

[oblique hinge]

if it is there, open the model in blender, remove the root bone and rename the armature to "Root"

[oblique hinge]

in enfusion

[quasi sedge]

no armature bone

[oblique hinge]

then idk

[quasi sedge]

bmmst

maybe wrong vertex groups

[pale island]

Oh shit did Quebec get banned XD

[quasi sedge]

vertex groups of backpack

without armature ofc

[oblique hinge]

maybe putting an armature modifier will make it work. (or it will make enfusion crash)

[quasi sedge]

oh in the fbx I put I did make an armature modifier

[digital vector]

https://gyazo.com/f1ddb62f84498effe9f22ca34c52f93c

Hello, I can't get the frame when importing on enfusion

An idea ?

[quasi sedge]

what it looks like when I modify with armature @oblique hinge

this is how i normally export it

[oblique hinge]

that's more or less how my headgear which works looks like

[quasi sedge]

yeah, not really sure. maybe vertex groups are wrong??? there is no sample for me to check.

[oblique hinge]

what do the parameters of the armature modifier look like?

[oblique hinge]

have you tried selecting one of the vertex groups in the parameters? that makes it work for my headgear but that has only one bone right now so idk how it works with multiple ones

[quasi sedge]

parameters in enfusion or blend

[oblique hinge]

blend

[quasi sedge]

yeah i tried selecting it and checked the vertex params and seemed ok

the only sample they dont have is the alice backpack 😩

painful

2 days and 1P63 is almost ready https://i.imgur.com/uZwoNUu.png

[quasi sedge]

very nice!

[mortal sentinel]

damn

makes me wanna try to make a scope too. Did you get real life measurements from somewhere?

[quasi sedge]

you can do it by proportioning an image to the size of the weapon

reference image in blender and set measurements if ur an insane man

well if anyone knows how they can fix my penis pack issue from earlier lmk

[queen pike]

Nope, just the references. Now I have to adapt the dimensions to the game weapon model

[mortal sentinel]

alright, if I ever get to making a scope, I'll try it

[carmine vapor]

Anyone here creating buildings?

[last hill]

Saw a few WIP buildings being worked on

[eager hill]

To what mesh should the reticle material be connected?

[wheat bay]

Quick question about Colliders. Can the UBX Box be a rectangle shape or does it have to stay a cube?

[eager hill]

nvm I found it

[outer sage]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:FBX_Import#Collider_shape

most collider shapes can't be scaled just by one or two axis, otherwise they will lost their shape and will not be imported. The only scaling that will work will be scale along vertical axis of capsule and cylinder + trimesh and box can be scaled along all axis.

[terse star]

Since rectangle is a 2D shape, nope, but on your screenshot I see two boxes

[wheat bay]

Well I guess I meant Rectangle Box, but thank's that answers that.

[last hill]

I assumed he meant rectangular prism, some folk..

[terse star]

Yes, but box just means « 3D object with 8 vertices »

[knotty cedar]

Cube versus Box 😅

[terse star]

[wheat bay]

You couldn't do this though

Right?

Otherwise this becomes Convex?

[cyan urchin]

I think 'cuboid' is the right word, as it means by adjusting the length of edges it can be returned to a cube

Or 'rectangular cuboid'

[terse star]

Still a box 📦

Or maybe boxes need to have 90 degrees angles

I don’t remember

[wheat bay]

Well reguardless, will this break if I set it to UBX_box

[terse star]

But yknow box ≠ cube, that’s just what I am trying to explain to you 😃

[terse star]

So I guess boxes need 90 degrees angles 😄

[swift anvil]

could you give me your opinion on my props please. Would it be rocks to mine coal ?

[wheat bay]

Thanks

[hidden yarrow]

The model is good but the textures need some work

Coal can be shiny, but try to make it slightly less, otherwise it looks good for roleplay purposes 👍

[swift anvil]

thanks for your advices

[swift anvil]

I think it's better this way?

[misty gull]

Yes, much better

Keep the other version but tone the roughness down and use it for a rainy texture

[swift anvil]

I take my textures from arma 3. I don't know if it's the best or if I should start all over again

[storm crater]

much better

[hidden yarrow]

Thats is alot better

[terse lintel]

rectangle works, nm didn't realize I was behind on messages

[delicate condor]

you may need to confirm if you can use those. Arma 3 data license may not cover enfusion/reforger at the moment

[swift anvil]

are you sure ? I use my paa transformed into png for my textures on enfusion currently.

my coal for exemple

[delicate condor]

pretty sure you are not just free to use them, might be just a technicality but better to be sure than suffer consequences later

or do you mean you use your own textures you made for Arma 3

and not textures from arma 3

[hidden yarrow]

I think he means his own

[delicate condor]

why would there be need to go from paa to png then though? one does not make .paa straight up

[swift anvil]

the textures were made by myself on arma 3 why would I have any problems if I import them on enfusion?

[misty gull]

What process would I follow to import and rig some of my 3D vehicle models into Reforged?

[delicate condor]

then there is no problem

[hidden yarrow]

I had the same i didnt save my old files so i had to convert my paa’s to png so i could use m in reforger

[delicate condor]

but how you said it earlier came out your textures are from Arma 3 textures

all good then

[misty gull]

What would it take to get this into arma?

[delicate condor]

a lot of work

[misty gull]

Even just to drive it?

[hidden yarrow]

Takes you getting it ready for arma lol

[delicate condor]

yes

[misty gull]

I have no clue where to start

[swift anvil]

sorry i have a little trouble expressing myself in english XD

[hidden yarrow]

Samples and the wiki

[delicate condor]

start from something simpler

[molten viper]

This is awesome. A modified version of the default M16, but with a flat top upper to support railed optics would be a good starting point for weapon sight mods

[misty gull]

Ok, so maybe a scope?

[delicate condor]

or a simple box

[misty gull]

haha, okay

[delicate condor]

just to get familiar with the tools and workflows

[misty gull]

Do i batch FBX export my models?

[delicate condor]

people very often start from complex things and get frustrated

[misty gull]

True but i'm a stubborn person

[delicate condor]

yes well. you can still take the smart road

and be stubborn there

[misty gull]

Boring

jk

I think I will start with a landmine

[daring condor]

i dont think theres even tracked sim in reforger yet?

[misty gull]

didn't even think of that

Is Anyone interested in creating a vehicle mod pack? I'm very skilled in 3D Modeling. I just lack the game engine knowladge

[dim gate]

everyone does at this point, very little documentation available from BI and not much is explained
eventually we'll find out but for now, it's all about experiments

at least, some people managed to figure out mission making, weapon and character gear import

i haven't seen anyone try vehicles, yet

[tacit eagle]

Does anyone knows how to do the weighting for enfusion to prevent this happening

[astral oar]

That’s a skeleton issue

[tacit eagle]

like this is pain in the ass , not a single explanation how to fix it beside one guy told me weighting need to be done

yeah, how to fix it

[astral oar]

Did you skin it?

[tacit eagle]

ye

[astral oar]

How many bones

[tacit eagle]

in model?

[astral oar]

Yes

[tacit eagle]

not a clue, i think none

[astral oar]

Bruh

You gotta give it a skeleton for it to work

[tacit eagle]

how to do that 😦

and where to apply it to character on right position

[astral oar]

Quebec posted But he’s gone so clue on where his fixed Skele is

[twin robin]

I have the same inssue but i put the skele in the 3d model , How i can fix that?

[tacit eagle]

this is what he told me to do

but idk what and how

hah

[tacit eagle]

how did you open enfusion like that?

i was looking like whole day

cannot find

[astral oar]

Good lord

[astral oar]

Okay so how many bones

[tacit eagle]

bro some of us dont even know how many bones shoud be there hahaha

we are here to get explanation

how to and why bones are used

[astral oar]

That’s why I’m asking Luke

[tacit eagle]

how to put them into model

[astral oar]

You must have a total of 163

[tacit eagle]

i got like 0

[twin robin]

how i can put all bones?

[tacit eagle]

😂

[astral oar]

Your missing sone then @twin robin

I can look around for quebecs Skele but I’m not home

[tacit eagle]

you actualy get skele and just apply model on it?

that would be helpful as fuck

[twin robin]

can you send my the bones to mp when you are on home? @astral oar

[astral oar]

i can repost the fixed Skele later yeah

[dim gate]

so, if i recap well, you need to import your models with the skeleton bones for it to work ?

[tacit eagle]

yeah

[dim gate]

uh ok

[tacit eagle]

but not a single explanation about bones

how to get them or anything

[astral oar]

I will be posting a fixed model

That has the needed bones

[dim gate]

i'm sure someone already did

[astral oar]

He got banned

[dim gate]

wut

[astral oar]

All his logs are gone

[dim gate]

fugg

good thing i download it

[astral oar]

I have it will post it later

[tacit eagle]

so what is exactly the thing , do we just apply our model on it or?

[dim gate]

yes and no

[twin robin]

could you notify me when the skeleton is ready, please

[astral oar]

👍

[dim gate]

you have to put it along your model and use it to weight your model

[tacit eagle]

huh

[dim gate]

the weight paint is what make the model stick to your character and move it around limbs and such

the skeleton is here because ...... i don't know

[tacit eagle]

i guess weight painting follows skeleton

skeleton simulates the bosy

[dim gate]

man arma 3 had it easier with the old OFP tools

[tacit eagle]

body

[dim gate]

just weight the model and call it a day

[tacit eagle]

It would be easy if we had only one video

on youtube for reforger showing

[tacit eagle]

i dont know how

i mean i know to get to painting

but how shoud i do it and what are the tricks

i dont get a single thing

nobody want to explain

[dim gate]

lol, iktf

painting can be done automatically with some smoothering

every blender tutorial about it can show it you

it's a general thing, it doesn't just apply to Arma

[tacit eagle]

all painting i see, it paints a whole character

not only like vest

thats the issue

[dim gate]

it paint all visible part of a model

[tacit eagle]

i need detailed explanation why we do a specific thing while we paint
