(HMG_M2HB_pintle.et)
I'm trying to adjust the recoil on the humvee turret.
-I have adjusted the RecoilWeaponAimModifier settings on the MuzzleComponent
-I've adjusted the "Camera Recoil Amount" on both of the SightsComponent's,
-I've adjusted the SCR_WeaponAttachmentsStorageComponent SCR_RecoilCameraShakeParam
-I've adjusted the SCR_WeaponAttachmentsStorageComponent's Item Animation Attributes.

With all of these I've set their various values for recoil to 0 (not that I want it to be 0, but just to test what works) and so far none of them have changed the recoil. So I'm curious if anyone knows where the recoil is actually being handled and how I might adjust it. My goal was to reduce ADS camera shake but it'd also be nice to know how to adjust total recoil.

[stark acorn]

on static weapons, you don't have recoil at all - there is only camera shake

[smoky sinew]

Why tho

[leaden shadow]

Oof I thought recoil was camera shake.

[smoky sinew]

Is there a good tutorial (youtube) that summarizes/walks through the wiki articles? I want to get into modding the game but I don't really know how to start

[hollow rampart]

not really no. what kind of modding are you intrested in?

[paper sandal]

Is there a way to get two weapons to fire at the same time?

I would think that if the weapon slot index was the same on two weapon slots it would shoot at the same time but that seems to not be the case

[unborn inlet]

there isn’t such a thing.

[silk swan]

The biki is already a summary of everything explained on this discord (by BI, modders, etc).
So making a summary of a summary in a YT video, is... how to say it... Impossible...

There are however some YT videos for specific things in the Workbench, but since even the engine isn't complete yet I doubt the biki or YT will have a lot of content soon.

See #enfusion_resources for some of the content on YT and outside the biki

[stark crow]

Is there a point modelling tracked vehicles for this game?

[empty nexus]

subjective, I would wait for something official as a template first

[smoky sinew]

you can always make hi poly models in preparation

[subtle spire]

Hi everyone, I just started modding with enfusion, and i am currently creating a new vehicle. I followed the tutorial and so far everything is working, until i create the prefab. Every time the console spam me that there is no steering axle. I can't even add context action from bones, it keeps spaming this. I think i set up the wheeled simulation right but maybe i missed something.

[stark acorn]

There is bug right now which prevents adding new axles in Workbench

[subtle spire]

oh

but i did not add any axes, the prefab already contain two axles in the axles list, and the wheels have been set with the correct bones of my mesh

If i duplicate an already existing vehicle like the jeep, and replace all the context menu and stuff, it could work ?

[stark acorn]

ah, then I guess you will have to make one axle a steering axe

to do so, change Max Steering Angle on axle to some non 0 value

I will add that info to wiki tomorrow

[devout gulch]

can someone provide me with a simple explanation of what exactly are front rear and eye points needed for

i get that eye is the camera

but front and rear?

in the context of how this relates to zeroing the weapon

ive noticed that workbench allows me to set different positions and angles of the weapon for each zeroing

[subtle spire]

the max steering angle was already not 0 for the steering axle, but the message keeps coming

[stark acorn]

Can you share some screen

[subtle spire]

sure

In my mesh the wheel and rotator are children of my suspension, is this a problem ? I saw that on the UAZ from Vanilla Reforger the suspension is children of the axle but the rotator and wheel are not children of the suspension

[stark acorn]

well, you have also error on tyre configuration missing

in this case axle is not initialized

and you don't have steering axle in such case

[subtle spire]

oh thats may be the reason, however the workbench crash when i try to create a tyre class in my axle, evn when making a conf file i can't even click on the tyre section it crashes anyway.

[stark acorn]

can you share assert window?

[subtle spire]

is that what you want ?

I think i found something. instead of duplicating the wheeled_car_base, I clicked inherit in addon, now the engine does not crash anymore when i am initializing tyres, however the no steering axle is still there, the first axle have 28 max steering angle, and every axle have a differential.

Edit : I restarted enfusion and the message does not appear anymore. I guess the axle issue is solved, however I still have trouble with the actionContextManager. When i select the "create user actions from bones", select all the bones i used for context, and press ok, they dot not show up in the action context array. However, it looks like they are still registered because when i try to do the operation again, the console says that there are already context action with the same name

[stark acorn]

no, I wanted to see crash assert (when workbench crashes)

are you in prefab edit mode?

[subtle spire]

oh, i thought you meant asset windows, but assert is something else right

[stark acorn]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Prefabs_Basics#Prefab_edit_mode

create user actions from bones action adds new action to the entity instance - if hierarchy tree is set to prefab, you are not going to see additional actions

[sweet trench]

@stark acorn Hey are you familiar with what's possible with Reforger modding? Is it possible to make custom bipeds like wolves or monsters or things like that?

[subtle spire]

yes i am in edit mode apparently, i clicked edit prefab in the project browser

[stark acorn]

yes, it's possible

[sweet trench]

Is it possible to make them playable? Like to make an asymmetrical human players versus custom monster player? Also, is there any documentation on this? I've been reading the wiki and I can't find anything to explain how to go about this.

[subtle spire]

then how can i use the bones from my mesh for context actions ? when i am trying to set the getinuseraction for exemple, there is nothing to pick in the list

[stark acorn]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Weapon_Modding#Method_2:_Use_Inheritance_Tree

[stark acorn]

Yes, it would be possible to do so. There is no such documentation but you could try to follow human character example and see how its done there

[keen rune]

I believe there is a chicken deatmatch gamemode that ex0 made

Check it out on github

[stark acorn]

in short, change inheritance tree to instance and then apply to prefab changes (your new actions)

there is glitch in workbench which requires switching between components in order to refresh list of available actions/bones

[subtle spire]

it works ! i can see all my actions now, and i applied them to the prefab. Maybe it is temporary but why would you only edit the prefab instance instead of the prefab when modding ?

[sweet trench]

hmmmmmmmmmmmm interesting. I'll give that a look.

[stark acorn]

it's quite useful when you are testing/experimenting. You can have i.e. 5 instances of the vehicle, each with different parameters, and then try to compare which behaves the best. After that, you can apply changes from that instance to prefab

[subtle spire]

that make senses

[stark acorn]

in any case, prefab edit mode is in quite early stage and such non intuitive things would be hopefully changed in future

right now for instance prefab editor is tied to world editor

[subtle spire]

oh ok tha'ts temporary, in the future i guess there will be a dedicated prefab editing window

Hey how come the Arma Reforger mod tools aren't appearing for my friend? He doesn't own Refoerger but the tools should still appear for him. He can only see Reforger Server.

[stark acorn]

Tools are only available to reforger owners

[sweet trench]

Alright nevermind my friend is an idiot. One of my friends was saying the tools were appearing for him, and another was saying that only the server was appearing for him. The friend that said the tools were appearing was confusing the server for tools.

[sweet trench]

ye.

[bright moon]

Just finnished making a version of PBO Explorer for Arma Reforger .pak files. I plan to make it a community project so if anyone wants too feel free to contribute. https://github.com/FlipperPlz/PakExplorer/releases/tag/preview-1

• Includes full parser for Enforce along with GUI to view pak files and scripts

[nova delta]

@keen rune That one does not convert the player into a playable chicken, it makes it so that if a player camps for a certain amount of time then the player starts to make chicken noises hehe

[keen rune]

Oof

[nova delta]

But what he wants is possible but he would need to wait until scripted commands work and do not instantly crash the game

Unless he/she wants to make it so that the playable creatures behave exactly like the player and maybe even share the same skeleton

as soon as scripted commands work I will port an animal I ported to dayz as a playable character here (It's a horse) as an example

The process is essentially the same when it comes to the enfusion stuff in dayz but with some differences ofc 🙂

[sweet trench]

Preferably not. Do you know when they’re going to be fixing this?

[nova delta]

I have no idea when, they did a dev report (#8) on it before
https://reforger.armaplatform.com/news/dev-report-8

[subtle spire]

Hello, I followed the car creation tutorial from the end, and i would like to test the driving. I can enter the driver seat, start the engine but i cant move, do i need to set up something that is no explained in the tutorial ?

[smoky sinew]

maybe something with the transmission

or the wheels / axis need to be told they output power

[subtle spire]

with the torque share ? i already put the drive axle to 1 and the other one to 0

[smoky sinew]

does the rpm go up?

[subtle spire]

no

the player does not shift up, like in the UAZ

(wich is the closest vehicle to the one im making, that's why i am takin the uaz as a reference)

[smoky sinew]

so if you no rpm I would check with the engine

[subtle spire]

the engine has default value, i did not change anything to be fair, eveything was set in the wheeled_car prefab

[smoky sinew]

might sound dumb but you did disable the handbrake right? other than that you going to have to wait for someone more knowable, cant wait to see the vbl

[subtle spire]

i can't operate the handbrake at all, however the character is pushing the gas pedal, but still no rpm

[stark crow]

Does anybody know a way to export a heightmap or something similar out of operation flashpoint?

[fading trail]

How do I publish my map with the workbench ? I'm at a point where I want to show off my map in early public access but the map size shown on the workshop is only 2.6mb.

[stark acorn]

animations are required, it's one of the things which perhaps was unintentionally added somewhere before release

[sterile rover]

Still having troubles?

[subtle spire]

You mean i have to make a clutch animation to make it work ? Is there a proper animation tutorial for enfusion ? As for the wheels, when i use a and d, the player steer his arm, but not the steering wheel, nor the wheels. do i need to animate them in enfusion or do i need to make them in blender and import them. Also i was wondering if its possible to make an automatic gearbox ? because i am pretty sure my vehicle has automatic gearbox irl

[hollow rampart]

I don't think OFP data is released with license that would allow such. You can check the public Arma data packages though if there is something you can use.

[stark crow]

@hollow rampart Im talking about a map where the author has actually said he would be happy if it gets exported to another arma title. Also he said his map is open source

@hollow rampart But I don't think its possible to extract an height map out of OFP nor with any tools, isn it?

@hollow rampart I will

[hollow rampart]

If its mod map the the author can give permission. That's different thing sure. I though you talked about BI maps. However the heightmap is a lot lower quality than what can be used now so you would basically be remaking the whole thing.

[royal niche]

Some of the player animations are required because they are sending events to the game. For example, the Vehicle_StartStop event to start the vehicle's engine.
For the wheels and steering wheel you can use the CarProcAnimComponent. You don't need to animate them yourself; only set up your armature + bones & skinning in Blender and export them. Just look at how this component is configured on BI's vehicles, plug in your bones to the drop menus the engine will animate them procedurally.

[calm prism]

OFP data can be found at https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Licensed_Data_Pack#Cold_War_Crisis, including abel, cain, eden and noe (the islands)

[rapid echo]

Is there a GIT plug in for enfusion?

[unborn inlet]

@fickle spindle #creators_recruiting

[fickle spindle]

Thanks

[maiden parcel]

I just started playing with the sample mods today off github. I just wanted to say to BI that "VR world" is so much fun to play around with the lights in 😃

[smoky sinew]

what it about?

[molten granite]

Would it be theoretically possible to add PC steering wheel support to the Reforger cars ?

Not a request, just curious.

[north vortex]

With a key mapper I don't see why not (Depends on the steering wheel and software. I don't think Rewasd supports wheels but you can always try with a trial, microsoft has their own map software for wheels but it only works on theirs I believe.). If you can get a key mapper to recognize the wheel just bind the keyboard controls to it. Rewasd emulates controllers so it can make a virtual joystick (Will allow for gradients when turning)

[silk swan]

Technically yes, but I'm not sure if the engine is already sending/handling the correct data required. Especially the analog input, which is kind of needed for steering wheels and joysticks.

[molten granite]

Hm alright, thank you.

[stark acorn]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Prop_Creation here you have a full tutorial for that Sample Prop from Github

[fading trail]

Where would be the best place to ask about upload issues for Workbench and my map not uploading to the workshop fully ?. it's only uploading a 2.6mb file and not my full map.

[gritty pecan]

Is there a guide on how to create your own rifle? I managed to get the model in game but I'm a bit lost now

[smoky sinew]

yes there is

[gritty pecan]

Where can I find it? 🤔

I'm hoping to use the ak74 as a base as the gun is based on ak47

[arctic radish]

What exactly is a NHO map for terrain materials?

NVM I found this

#enfusion_external_tools message

[austere quartz]

Is there anyone creating a WW2 mod? Like CTI but with Axis and Allies and WW2 assets you know

[shadow urchin]

M113 Tracked in enfusion.

[shadow urchin]

Ok it's a well known wreck.

[smoky sinew]

I hope they dont use that model in game because it looks inaccurate

[shadow urchin]

This one from GM looks like real one.

[shadow urchin]

Shouldn't the humidity stay on the clothes a little longer?

[wary rivet]

How do I add something I'm subbed to in my mission? I'm trying to make a mission with Ravage zombies in it.

[ornate edge]

You can either make your new mod dependant on ravage, or right-click your mod and select open with add-ons. Or something to that effect.

[wary rivet]

In the reforger tools? Sorry I'm not sure exactly what you mean, I looked last night trying to figure it out for a couple hours.

[ornate edge]

When you start the tools there's the screen where you pick which mod you want to open. You first would have to add the mod that you've subscribed to so that it is listed alongside your mission mod. Then you can either create a new mod and make sure it is dependent on the downloaded mod as well as the usual reforger stuff or if you have already started a mod/mission you can right-click it and select the option that is something like "open with add-on" and then select the downloaded mod

Both of those options will open both your mod and the downloaded mod together

[wary rivet]

Thanks!!! That's exactly what I was looking for. That was super helpful, you must mod a lot?

[ornate edge]

Yes but I've almost never released any publicly. I like to go at my own pace. I've got one releasing soon though.

[wary rivet]

What is it? Thanks!

[ornate edge]

Basically ;Kill bots -> Gain score -> Build stuff -> Kill some more

PVE with increasingly armed and increasing numbers of bots attacking. Get points and build buildings, order vehicles, order squadmates. Eventually build large sprawling bases that the enemy bots attacks and destroy. Going to call it Waves Of War. Almost done, just need to do a few GUI stuff and a tutorial.

There's way more to it than that but that's the jist of it

[solemn glen]

any way to test mods in game master or something? creating a terrain and trying to figure out the who mods thing is just painful

[meager osprey]

GM is the way, just play it after enabling mods

[solemn glen]

what in the uhhh

workshop menu?

just enable mod and go to game master?

[meager osprey]

Yes

[solemn glen]

thanks. i didnt think you could do that. atleast you never could before

[meager osprey]

Depends on the mods, some of them lack config for being visible in GM or arsenal box

[solemn glen]

ahh ok

thanks

[warm verge]

Hello everyone,

I'm brand new to this so sorry in advance. I've tried searching but I don't know what the terms should be. I have two questions.

1. Can I turn down the graphics settings to potato quality in world editor? I couldn't find an option and when I play test if I hit ESC to go to the menu it boots me back to edit.

2. How's best to sort a games master mode out like a scenario? I want to create a base template for missions but keep full GM mode available so the missions can be expanded in. I have it working in the workbench. When I play test it auto selects us, has objects spawned in where I want etc, but when I load it on my Xbox it's just regular games master.

[remote bronze]

I couldn't find an option and when I play test if I hit ESC to go to the menu it boots me back to edit.
Press Windowskey + ESC together, or rebind the key under Workbench > Options > Shortcuts > World Editor > second last "exit play mode"

[warm verge]

back again, i cant publish getting a 502 error, is something going on atm?

[royal niche]

I have a problem with my vehicle. With only driver everything is ok. With only someone on the M2 Browning everything is ok. With both the vehicle flips over like someone hit with a gravity gun. Anyone know what is wrong?

[smoky sinew]

maybe its the two collision meshes interacting with one another, since the driver is getting one set of data and the gunner another... I really dont know.

[serene hamlet]

Not sure where to put this but, how do you assign a “skeleton” to a modded character?

So, that the character can act like a generic rifleman for example

[meager osprey]

Yeah it's collision setup probably
Make sure your colliders have similar stop as vanilla BTR for example. Especially layer and layer preset

[meager osprey]

Look into #reforger_samples for the character rig

[mighty bolt]

hello, is there any way to display FPS in the Enfusion engine world editor and in the actual game?

[lunar condor]

Nvidia control panel if you're on the green team. well it works in the actual game at least, not sure about world editor.

[empty nexus]

press left ctrl + numpad 1 for world editor, in game you can just tell steam to do it for you

[serene hamlet]

Enable Steam FPS

[royal niche]

[unborn inlet]

this isn’t the place, such bespoke commission is in the thousands of €/$

[pulsar spindle]

Sometimes, without the black hawk mod installed (I deleted it like month ago cause of this) have this controls hint on the screen and cant aim, interact and nothing, only walk.

Not exactly the good discord tab to post it, but feedback and troubleshooting cant post images

[worn briar]

Go over to #enf_mods_feedback I made a thread for MH60 feedback.

[pulsar spindle]

Is not a MH60 bug, is vanilla, not installed the mod since a mod ago, even reinstalled the full game

The error happen randomly on servers and singleplayer to some people of our group

[nova steppe]

where do I find a mod in the world editor, to add to a custom world?

in Zeus it is present and can be spawned, but there has to be a way to add it to the world/mission itself?

[empty nexus]

add it as a dependency in your project options

[nova steppe]

how do I get the mods GUID?

[empty nexus]

one example is the URL of a mod from here will have it https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop

[nova steppe]

Thanks, I tried to add the MH-60, but it tells me in error.log 21:59:08:610 DEFAULT (E): Cannot find addon with GUID: 59D64ADD6FC59CBF Or is this mod somehow protected?

[ornate edge]

An easy method is to start the workbench and on that screen where you select which mod to load right-click your mod and select "open with mod" and this will open both mods without dependencies

[nova steppe]

do I need to copy the mod to some place first for it to be loadable?

Seems I fail to load the MH-60. Tried with the Sample Car Mod and it seems to work: 5614E482BF83E310

[empty nexus]

no clue

[nova steppe]

think I figured it out: I first opened Enfusion Workbench with add existing project, selected the MH-60 folder, closed Workbench. Re-opened my MH60Test2 project which depends on the MH-60 and now I see R3D_MH60 in the resources. Thanks a lot for all your help!

[lost bobcat]

I want to make a shader mod, for example injecting too much morphine should produce a fisheye lens effect. Is there any sort of relevant documentation or precedent to this, or am I treading uncharted waters here?

[ornate edge]

Anybody else having instances where waypoint.GetOrigin() causes the game to crash?

[empty nexus]

you can't make your own shaders, but you can make edited versions of existing postprocess effects

I don't think it's documented though

[lost bobcat]

10/4 thank you

[gloomy vapor]

Maybe your waypoints are blow 0 like underneath the world surface and removing them cause the game to crash?
I sometimes have this problem with variouse kinds of prefabs that are for unknown reason sometimes placed below the surface and when i try to move them up to surface lvl game crashes.
There is a line of code i found to check and correct it.

Your waypoints are spawned?

[ornate edge]

yeah.

Maybe my custom world is messed up

?

I noticed sometimes when checking bodies that they are inaccessible. So maybe "ground" level is wrong?

[gloomy vapor]

Yes could be...

I will check if i have the code on my phone.

[ornate edge]

You think that would apply when on top of buildings too? I could at least test it that way

[gloomy vapor]

I did only notice it below surface lvl.

I also did some stuff with spawned wp.

[ornate edge]

I seem to always find new and interesting ways to crash the game lol

[smoky sinew]

did you flush the toliet too?

[gloomy vapor]

And without this surface check they do not snap to the ground properly when created.

[ornate edge]

I wrote about 400 lines trying to work around this so far

lol

[gloomy vapor]

1 sec.

[ornate edge]

I'm pinning them to entities so no terrain check is done on them specifically

But if the entities are technically slightly underground that may be the issue

[gloomy vapor]

Hmm...

Well this is what i use t make sure its placed correctly:

float y = GetGame().GetWorld().GetSurfaceY(position[0], position[2]);
                    
if (y > 0.0)
{
    position[1] = y;
}

Just give it a try may it works.

[ornate edge]

will do. Thank you

[gloomy vapor]

np

[ornate edge]

It's hard to test if this works since it doesn't crash every time, but I'll try it out and see if it seems ok for now.

[gloomy vapor]

If you use the Diag Menu: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Diag_Menu

In: AI category

there is a setting waypoints

if you enable this it will show you every waypoint ever created by a visible indicator.

This was how i found out about this in the first place.

[ornate edge]

yes, I've got that on constantly. If there's problems with the terrain mesh though it wouldn't necessarily be visible though

nope

I have a problem with the replication of damage state on vehicles. On server boot I spawn a vehicle with damaged window. It's hitzone health is 0. However any replication client connecting to it seems to know absolutely nothing about this damage. They know the engine state (running) and know which lights are turned on, but the window is full health. I added a debug action that runs on the vehicle both on server and client. The server says:

SCRIPT : hitZone: Window has health 0.
The client says
SCRIPT : hitZone: Window has health 100.
Is this a known intended behavior? My only guess is that something is not synced because no player ever sat inside the vehicle before, never triggering the simulation before I connect? Or what is going on ... I am sort of confused. Even more so after finding out that this also happens on re-connect, without a server restart in between. The vehicles were spawned dynamically and are not baked into the map. It happens both on dedicated server as well as peer tool workbench host. On the screenshot you can see the desync in action.

[cedar ravine]

Question about getting a mod to work in-game:
I'm trying to change the amount of zoom you get when you right click and hold. I've gotten it to work in the editor pretty easily by overriding ArmaReforger/Prefabs/Characters/Core/DefaultPlayerCamera.et and changing the "Focus Mode FOV" parameter, but I can't get it to work in the actual game itself.
The other local projects that I've done just following tutorials to learn the editor seem to have appeared in my downloaded mods workshop tab with the ability to toggle them on and off once i added a .conf file inheriting from the right config class and referencing my mods, but I can't seem to find or figure out what class I need to inherit from or reference my overrided DefaultPlayerCamera.et to make it appear in the downloaded mods tab or work in-game. Can anyone help point me in the right direction? It's kind of blowing my mind that it was this easy to get the change to work in-editor, so I'm really chomping at the bit to confirm it works in-game and upload it to the workshop

[deep finch]

[remote bronze]

You will need to add a startup parameter via steam with addonsDir and addons to load a non published mod from source. That is why for testing you usually do it in workbench.

With overriding prefabs all you do is rightclick override, do the change in your variant, save the project and your are done. Nothing more needed. You could probably publish your mod as it is and it would work just fine.

[cedar ravine]

I'll try this in a sec and report back
I tested and confirmed it works in the workbench i just want to make sure it works in-game before I put it on the workshop

Put it on the workshop but unlisted, try it out yourself there, and when you are happy turn it to be public so other people can find it as well 🙂

[cedar ravine]

worked like a charm, thanks! I think the mods that were appearing in my game aren't ones I created locally but downloaded as examples which is why they appeared in the workshop, which threw me off

[cedar ravine]

Local testing is easier now that I know all I have to do is add a GUID to the startup params, but I'll make sure to post it here once it's made public

[dim folio]

Here you have one but with long loam. Maybe @hybrid nova would like to make a sleeveless one.

[deep finch]

Oooh thanks mate

[hybrid nova]

At some point I'll make a sleeveless telnyashka. I've got a pretty big update in the works including some Borderguards and KGB uniforms. As well as some optimizations. I can add the sleeveless version on the todo list.

[opal prism]

So how hard do y'all think it would be to make a Flamethrower?

[empty nexus]

with realistic fire simulation? probably very

but if all you want is just some pretty particles and dealing damage, sounds relatively easy

game does not have a "setting people on fire" mechanic though

[smoky sinew]

yeah it wound not be to hard, it would work like a normal gun shooting ammo at a high rate. you can have projectiles that ricochet off and add a little dispersion, make flame particles for projectiles.

[earnest sundial]

You can make particles have fire damage, so very possible

[smoky sinew]

I wonder how Ro2 / rs2 does flamethrowers they use volumetric flames

[empty nexus]

answered your own question

[smoky sinew]

but how it do what it do?

[empty nexus]

link me to a video?

[smoky sinew]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=defPmXjXGNU

[empty nexus]

particles

would be nice if enfusion had gpu particles for this kind of thing

otherwise you'll give it to like 3 people and will saturate the particle budget in 2 seconds

[smoky sinew]

are you sure you can bounce the liquid around walls

[empty nexus]

yea there is a way to turn on collision

I think it was the restitution parameter

in rising storm 2 i see they also have a beam with a scrolling texture to simulate the flow

[smoky sinew]

and where it collides it just adds a bit of flame particles?

[empty nexus]

it spews out particles from the barrel as well

but yeah

at least that's what I think it is from first person camera, if I could see how the "stream" looks from the side it'd be easier to tell

nevermind, looks like it's still just particles https://youtu.be/f_O-0dMVZfc?t=134

no beamski

[smoky sinew]

http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/234510/ss_782385ede3f0bc681f2da068e5eed5758bae52ab.1920x1080.jpg?t=1465234548

[empty nexus]

still feelin like particles with clever billboarding

particles or billboarded projectile material

might be the latter for saner collision

I think it's doable, but I'm not sure how efficient it would run

[smoky sinew]

could you make smaller billboards not render at long range?

[empty nexus]

there are no culling distance controls for entities

but particles sure

it'd probably be helpful to see someone firing the flamethrower from a distance

first thing I'd try is make my projectiles a plane with a sprite and a spherical collider, and face the camera the way i want in script, or something

[opal prism]

The same could be used for like Missiles when they launch. Instead of fire going out a Flamethrower it's all the smoke Missiles give off on takeoff and while there heading to there target.

[prisma heath]

Hello, can anyone direct me in the right direction on how to import new/costum uniform parts into enfusion/reforger i did import some helmets but i cannot find and “guide” for uniforms!

Thanks in advance ✌️

[median remnant]

I somehow deleted the vanilla stringtable. Like, it's just gone when my mod is loaded... How do I fix this?

[stark acorn]

Check gproj settings of your addon

[green lintel]

Let's try here if I get lucky or someone can guide me.

Possible to have bigger camera boundary in the world editor? I can't get over 2543.37 in Y axis I'd like to get to like 10000 so I can see clouds better from above.

Or do I need to mod the map first?

[median remnant]

I have two string tables in there, both pointing to my own string table. I can't reset one of them to reforger's because it does not exist.

Verifying integrity hasn't turned up anything, like I said it just happened with my addon specifically while I was doing my own stringtable work.

Might have been after doing this in the String Editor.

Not sure what this does honestly but I wanted to see. 😛

[stark acorn]

can you show pic of gproj/settings then?

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Resource_Manager:_Options

[median remnant]

I can show in the morning sorry!

[paper sandal]

How would I go about making a targeting pod that is controlled by the commander position of a vehicle?
I dont want to remove the commanders seat when the pod is removed.
I have my base vehicle with the seat in it, the pod is set as a slot and has a slot mapper mapping the pod to the copilots seat.
The pod is set up like a turret and the commanders seat is set as a turretcompartment. I feel like this should work but it still doesnt.
Can anyone think of a solution? I will keep trying in the meantime.

[median remnant]

Both localization.st files point to mine.

[stark acorn]

which seems to be your problem

either you have same GUID as original stringtable (that could happen - GUID is generated based on path and filename) or you have replaced ArmaReforger stringtable in your gproj

check if your .st file has puzzle icon - if yes, then you are most likely overrriding vanilla st

otherwise, you will have to revert your change

[median remnant]

No puzzle icon, so GUID then?

[stark acorn]

can you copy resource name + guid of your stringtable?

RMB on resource and select it from context menu

[median remnant]

{FEFA7B57CFF804D0}localization.st

Huh actually, when I open just Reforger in the workbench it's missing too.

Verify didn't catch it last time so I'm just deleting the data gjproj folder then verifying to see if that somehow fixes it.

But I'm guessing it might be more of a workbench bug or something.

Didn't fix it, creating a new project with no relation to the other one also didn't fix it.

So somehow the vanilla stringtable is just blacklisted from existence.

[stark acorn]

.st files are no longer in packed data

ahhh

wait, so localization of the game is working for you, right?

you are just missing .st file, is that correct?

[median remnant]

I think so.

I'll double check.

Yes localization still works in vanilla.

But how do I fix the gjproj settings then?

And where are vanilla strings located?

Hmm, well deleting my stringtable and wiping the stringtable options in the gjproj fixed it...

But I am curious what I'm doing wrong.

[stark acorn]

There is no string table (st) file in Packed data - it's removed during packing

Packed data has only runtime tables now

So nothing to fix

[median remnant]

Hmmmm.

[paper sandal]

are there any devs who can tell me what compartmentToSlotMapping does? there is no documentation on it.

[paper sandal]

Also for some reason I cannot zoom in with a vehicle sight?

[stark acorn]

defines how given slot affects sound attenuation of selected compartments

i.e. if windows_rr_02 is destroyed then attenuation is reduced based on amount of coverage it provided

[remote bronze]

Nobody has an idea?

[nova delta]

yes

SCR_HitZoneContainerComponent::OnRplSave and SCR_HitZoneContainerComponent::OnRplLoad only process hitzones of type SCR_FlammableHitZone

the windows are SCR_DestructibleHitzone

[remote bronze]

Ohhh, nice then I can maybe fix this with a modded class 😍
But this would be considered a "bug" don't you think?

[nova delta]

It wasn't implemented to begin with so I would not say it's a bug 😅

[remote bronze]

Not JIP syncing if vehicles has shot out windows and as such offers less protection? Bug

[remote bronze]

Sad news, no I can't fix it because SetDamage functions say they do not work on client, and indeed they don't. So this needs to be worked on by BI ... time to work on my 100th ticket mark.

How does one change viewport / world editor graphics settings?

[smoky sinew]

I think in the camera tab

[median remnant]

That doesn't seem to be it.

[smoky sinew]

"Is there a way to increase the view distance in the world editor for large maps?
HorribleGoat — 07/15/2022
yes
theres camere options on the top left of the viewport"

[median remnant]

Not view distance, graphics quality and settings.

Everything is set to low for me for some reason.

[smoky sinew]

"start the game and press shift+esc

[median remnant]

I'll try that in a sec then, thankya!

[median remnant]

Worked btw. 🙂

[remote bronze]

Hey, so I have a question regarding NPC setups. I would like to setup an NPC prefab in AR that has a little logic as possible. For our game-mode all they need to do is

1. Stand around with idle animation
2. Wear clothing and equipment, but no storage inside any of it
3. Have an identity + tag component so their name appears over their head
   The default character base has sooo many more components that we do not need. However when I try to build a new prefab from scratch with a minimal setup, as soon as I want to add animations the character disappears. There appear to be many undocumented dependencies between the components ... Has anyone managed to create what I am looking for? Or are we stuck using the prefabs full of things meant for playable characters?

This is what my prefab attempt looked like so far

[stark acorn]

Is it possible to kill such character?

[remote bronze]

No

[stark acorn]

You can take a look at cinematic tutorial video then

they have some reaaaaly simple characters over there

https://github.com/BohemiaInteractive/Arma-Reforger-Samples/tree/main/SampleMod_CinematicTutorial

[remote bronze]

Oh ok, thank you, I will give it a shot!

[remote bronze]

The samples uploaded use a {92F0C6A77A34E712}worlds/TestMaps/TestWorld/TestWorld.ent as parent scene which is not included or appear to be in the vanilla data. Maybe this is an internal one that never got publish?

Anyway I put the things somewhere else and that worked. The character does play the animation, that is neat. One thing it does not have right now is collision though. I tried adding a mesh + rigid body, but a) got not collissions even if tried around different settings and b) as soon as a mesh is added the animation does not play anymore. Was this about your question if they should be kill-able? I don't want damage or anything on the story characters but I don't want people to walk through them either >.> Any idea how I could fix that? Because apart form that this is exactly the kind of minimal setup I was hoping for

[stark acorn]

thanks for checking it out! I passed that issue further.
As for damage - you can add a new, invisible object in hierarchy which would act as collider

[remote bronze]

I tried adding {9F3AF591CD6DFE1A}Assets/Characters/Basebody/Basebody_Male_01.xob into the scene, added a rigidbody, enabled "use model geometry" on it but that does not appear to produce collision, even though this model does have colliders and is used by the real characters as well. Any way to use the existing geometry or do I need to approximate the character in what ever animation he is then, with a self made mesh, to "accurately" provide collision - e.g. avoid people shooting through them onto other players.

I tried a few options there with sim state and active state etc, no combination worked yet, but maybe I picked the wrong ones ...

[stark acorn]

try changing Layer Preset to i.e. Character

[remote bronze]

Ah yeah that was missing. Having a child entity collider remains a bit impractical though as the default T pose isn't that close to the idle and if we add some more fully body animations like these push-ups that come with the sample it is not even close. I assume the animationplayercomponent was designed for cinematics and not active gameplay. Any other approach besides using that?

[nova delta]

Let me eat and I would make it for you and then explain

[stark acorn]

you could create your own box

there is also possibility to create custom colliders via script

i.e. Physics.CreateStaticEx()

Hexcavate was using procedural created meshes and colliders so you can take a look how it was done

[remote bronze]

I had the idea to if nothing else works out, to attach like 5 cylinders to the player via the BaseSlotComponent and attach them to the characters bones so if the animation moves the bones the colliders move with them? Do you think that would be a viable idea?

[stark acorn]

SlotManagerComponent would be recommended in this case

in any case, it could work

but perhaps MarioE knows some better method which doesn't need such witchcraft

[remote bronze]

Attaching a piece of meat to the fore arm sure looks funny 🙂 but yeah it would totally work with physics like this

[nova delta]

I will share the solution in a bit

[hollow rampart]

so now we are moving from walking on vehicles to walking on characters

😄

this bodes good tidings

[faint oyster]

XD

[nova delta]

@remote bronze You only need these in the prefab.

BaseItemAnimationComponent
Make sure to have it exactly like I have here

RigidBody
Only the outlined properties are important for it to work

Becasue of BaseItemAnimationComponent you will have to create an animation graph, it should be a super simple one, basically just a source node that plays the animation on a loop but there is an important step here, that is that the tag TagItemUpdateColliders has to be active during the current context so make sure to also tag the source node with TagItemUpdateColliders tag. As the name says, it will make it so that the colliders of the mesh get updated with the animation. It has to be BaseItemAnimationComponent for the tag to work as far as I know and I have no idea if there is something similar for the player without adding extra components/logic

Animation Graph

Project

If you want to make more characters doing different animations

Then just add a new source node to it, name it properly depending on the animation and then set Start Node in the BaseItemAnimationComponent to the name of the new node in a new prefab.

You can also set the graph in a way that you only need one prefab and maybe set the animation programmatically via some state based logic in the graph

If you want to do that as well then let me know and I will also make an example

[remote bronze]

Thank you, this was precisely what I was looking for!

[remote bronze]

I took my time and recreated the setup above and that works perfectly. One thing I would maybe like to do in the future is add weapons or other equipment like binoculars to the npc loadout so they have a weapon in hands as well. Normally I would have thought I just add a WeaponSlotComponent and choose the prefab to equip (like it is done on playable characters) but as soon as the component is added the character becomes invisible, which means something went wrong and it did not initialize. Unfortunately it does not tell me what dependencies for other components it might be missing. I tired a few but could not get any to work. Does somebody who has made cinematics have an idea what could be wrong?

Current component setup looks like this

[dim grove]

can anyone point me in the right direction as how to import custom trees & buildings to the workbench for use in the terrain editor?

This is just for one bush, so im assuming i need to get a .xob file of a tree and get all the respective textures in the same file format as shown in the editor, but how do i go about importing everything into the workbench to achieve the same functionality as the base game trees?

[empty nexus]

see pins in #enfusion_model

[dim grove]

thanks king

[fickle cave]

hello everyone

[fickle cave]

quick question I'm working with arma workbench and I've placed spawns etc but when I switch to in game testing I'm either falling from the sky upon spawn or in the ocean

[gloomy vapor]

Maybe you missed something like SCR_CameraManager?

Or maybe to setup your GameMode_Plain?

[fickle cave]

thanks I will double check that now @gloomy vapor

[worn tangle]

gonna attempt to make a tracked vehicle mod

[timber coyote]

Judging by your user pic you might just be crazy enough to pull it off

[fickle cave]

HELLO

[rigid basin]

I've been hoping someone would attempt this! I've been trying to create this through a curve with points attached to physics points to no avail, and I'm just not smart enough to figure out how to make it with

[unborn inlet]

i’m not saying you shouldn’t, i’m saying the safer bet (unless you have a lot of time on your hands and are ready to waste a lot of that) is to wait on BI to make the necessary engine side changes to accommodate it.

[worn tangle]

yes definitely has been taking some time but making progress on the vehicle model which is a bradley ifv

[unborn inlet]

currently you’d need to do half of a hack job to get a wheeled vehicles to behave as a tracked one.

[worn tangle]

thats the plan

[unborn inlet]

the model is the least of the concern.

if i were you i’d try to get a proof of concept going (no matter of the model) before that

[worn tangle]

thats a good idea thankyou for the tip!

[unborn inlet]

say a few ciclinders and a box of sorts for the main hull :))

the plan over @RHS is not to even try to work on tracked vehicles before (if) BI implements something, despite having a lot of both us and ru tracked vehicles on hand (tanks, apcs and ifcs, including bradleys)

[worn tangle]

yes it is always good to go off of the developers vehicles, it is a shame they aren't planned for reforger considering it is a testbed for mods 😦

[unborn inlet]

not saying is not possible, but i expect it not to work correctly, and if you manage to get it to work, expect masive changes down the line if bi implements any tracked vehicles

for most is not really worth the double work, and the massive initial trial and error (which could lead to no go anyways). so it is a gambit you are willing or not to take, time and mood dependent

[worn tangle]

yeah, i have plenty of time on my hands so might as well give it a shot and see where it goes

[unborn inlet]

as previously said, modelling aside whatever tracked vehicle, i would just try and see if it possible to hack wheeled vehicles to behave as tracked vehicles (i think there is also a limit to number of wheels possible per vehicle)

[gritty haven]

Anyone can confirm / deny which modding tools work on linux (arch if it matters)? All good or issues abound? Thinking of buying just to check out the new tools, but will wait if its broken.

[silk swan]

None I'm afraid. Workbench is Windows only.
No idea if it works with WINE or similar, but I wouldn't count on it.

[gritty haven]

so strange considering the first "Key Feature" on the Enfusion Engine webpage is about its multi-platform support...
Not sure releasing it windows only supports that claim lol

[green lintel]

It's more about pc & console support first

[unborn inlet]

multiplatform support = pc (windows - also only dx12 so min win10) and consoles

linux is still pc. They didn’t mention multi-os support on the enfusion page

[gritty haven]

could also be steamdeck but i get the point, still surprising in 2022 and releasing a new engine

[unborn inlet]

surprising why? because no one actually considering neither linux nor macos relevant for gaming?

[pallid knot]

The support is meant as "able to play the game"
not as "able to mod the game"

[empty nexus]

most companies have like zero incentive to make their games playable on linux because it costs money to pay developers and the amount of linux users is usually like 0.0001% of the total playerbase, more often than not it turns out it's not worth it

[royal niche]

Workbench launches in Proton. Don't know if there are issues.

[pallid knot]

Reforger runs in proton tho.
And making players happier is a incentive for Bohemia

[empty nexus]

I was thinking native support. Ultimately it's a decision of the company and I might be wrong but I'm not seeing linux playerbase to be big enough to warrant such an endeavour 😦

obviously it might not be big enough specifically because of no native support

with vulkan it might be easier, does the ps5 allow vulkan?

[pallid knot]

Definitely not when Proton is so easy to do and works almost perfectly fine

[wide blade]

Australian Army DPCUs, anyone?

[unborn inlet]

?

[wide blade]

Just seeing if anyone has modded reforger to replace us camo with aussie dpcu auscam

[oblique surge]

classic chicken and egg problem... no games -> no players -> no games.

[smoky sinew]

you mean pigs and bacon problem?

[worn tangle]

do any of you guys know what the metabolism Boolean is referring to? if so the MRE item might get some use in future

[smoky sinew]

probably has nothing to do with eating, eating food in arma would not be the road that BI wants to go down for arma.

[strange wigeon]

Probably stamina thing. I don't really know

[forest robin]

there is some unused icons and models for food

probably it was cut sometime ago

[remote bronze]

I'd say the exact opposite that it is exactly for that, given how there are food and drink assets/items in the game already, but probably either not yet finished or a left over prototype they chose not to go forward with for now

[smoky sinew]

id imagine that use of metabolism is the rate of which some kind of points are "eaten" to spawn AI and vehicles. likely this is for the cti gamemode

[sterile zenith]

anyone know how to get in touch with the maker(s) of the blackhawk mod?

[nova delta]

@meager turret

[sterile zenith]

i believe i found the thread for it for reporting feedback

i may have tagged the wrong guy though

[nova delta]

That guy you tagged is part of the team

[sterile zenith]

okay thank you

[tawdry tree]

Don’t know if this is the right place to ask ….is anyone making a 6X Acog scope for the HMG or know of one already developed??

[unborn inlet]

why?

[tawdry tree]

Be easier to engage targets over longer distances so you can effectively use to the HMG to their full ranges I have to rely less on a spotter .in turn you’ll be full able to have a recon/Gun element and fire your Fighting troops into enemy positions without having to full expose your self to enemy fire .only thing you’ll have to worry about when it comes in is IDF from the Mortars

[unborn inlet]

no, question was why are you asking about anyone working on one? so you wanna start working on one yourself and don’t want to duplicate work?

[tawdry tree]

Pretty much

[unborn inlet]

generally speaking, it doesn’t matter what anyone else is doing, feel free to start that your own @tawdry tree

[tawdry tree]

Dead on thank you

[paper sandal]

I know RiverX has made quite a few magnified sights that are of very good quality, you could possibly make a companion mod that allows those sights to be used on hmg’s.
I would try to talk to him first though.

[sterile zenith]

anyone know what causes this?

only on sights that have zoom

[chrome ridge]

Has anyone tried to make an M4 with underslung M203?

[worldly wedge]

There’s one by the Aussie merc currently it’s great too

[worldly wedge]

Happens to me sometimes but not sure what does it

[chrome ridge]

Cheers, I'll check that out sometime

[worldly wedge]

M4a1 block 2 is the name

[rugged geode]

Heyo y'all, does anyone know how to download mods and use in the world editor ? i'd like to place a couple weapons i found in the workshop on the map but i see only base stuff

[stark acorn]

you can use "Open with addon(s)" functionality

[rugged geode]

it only shows me "core" do i have to do something else than downloading the mods in the reforger workshop ?

[stark acorn]

you can add mods to that list by using "add existing" button and then selecting gproj of the addons

[rugged geode]

that worked thx alot

[rugged geode]

another question i have is about fog is there any documentaion about it ? it doesnt seem to work when i use it, i see it in the editor window but when i test it its gone

[blazing patrol]

I have a question, if I develop a gamemode for Arma Reforger, then will it be easy to transport to Arma 4?

[unborn inlet]

unknown, most likely yes, with minimal changes i would assume

[blazing patrol]

Thanks

[tranquil reef]

RTX Remix and Enfusion/Arma Reforger? Maybe we will see RTX in Arma afterall

So far looks like it's for only classic games but I see this expanding to more modern games with big modding communities like fallout/skyrim.

[silk swan]

actually, it seems that it's possible with any game, as long as it has textures you can override through modding

Not sure how this would be useful for Enfusion though, since BI just has to implement RTX (or similar) into their engine for similar if not better results.

It could be interesting for OPF, Arma 2 and perhaps even Arma 3

NVIDIA RTX Remix will launch soon, making it easy to remaster supported DirectX 8 and DirectX 9 games with fixed function graphics pipelines.
Ok, so it depends on how the game engine was build

[pine glen]

I would like to export player names and scores and display them as a leaderboard on a website. Is this allowed?
Do I somehow have to ask for agreement? Is there some process for that?
On some websites I find usernames are personal data, on some other it is not.

[remote bronze]

That one is tricky, the GDPR does not explicitly cover aliases such as usernames, but if they end up being usable to connect an identity of a someone e.g. person uses the same username everywhere and on another site his RL info is present then it is my understanding that those are covered by it. But then again something like gametracker still exists that shows all the player usernames + score that they grab from the steam query protocol ... I assume maybe somewhere in the steam EULA people agreed to that, but for AR I am not 100% sure.

An individual’s social media ‘handle’ or username, which may seem anonymous or nonsensical, is still sufficient to identify them as it uniquely identifies that individual. The username is personal data if it distinguishes one individual from another regardless of whether it is possible to link the ‘online’ identity with a ‘real world’ named individual.
https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-data-protection/guide-to-the-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr/what-is-personal-data/what-are-identifiers-and-related-factors/
Not that the uk would have any meaning regarding EU policies anymore but afaik they just copy pasted our homework to their own country.
So yeah, not possible if you ask me

You could have a notice when you join the server where they choose "sure show my score" or "nah" and depending on that choice you show something on the website or not. But that would of course be annoying as hell for players

[empty nexus]

my reason to believe game profile names are not considered personal data is steam is able to display them even when you set your profiles to private

the company is big enough for the EU to notice if it was a problem

[pine glen]

But I'm sure noone has read the agreement when we created our steam profiles ^^

[empty nexus]

yeah who reads those

if it's in the agreement then it doesn't matter, sorry

ok GDPR does mention an "online identifier"

so you need consent

ALSO you need a legal basis to process this data yourself in any systems

[pine glen]

Yea, that could work. Maybe some popup window on the endgame screen, only if not agreed/rejected already, and then maybe some checkbox in the settings.
The question is just how this agreement needs to look like to be valid. Will have to read into that.
Another issue is how am I supposed to identify someone who wants his data deleted? Is it possible to get the steamID in Reforger? Then I might be able to connect a steam account to my webapp and use that.

[empty nexus]

no steamid (or xbox id) in reforger yet

[pine glen]

Then I think it will not work at all.

[empty nexus]

I think you can get the bohemia account id

[pine glen]

But I think you don't need a bohemia account to play online and not sure if bohemia has something like "connect" feature to identify that this is the actual owner of that id.

[empty nexus]

sure, you don't need to login in the game

I'm waiting for steamid for any persistence and player data related stuff

[remote bronze]

https://github.com/EveronLife/EveronLife/blob/main/src/Scripts/Game/Core/EL_Utils.c#L7 use this. You won't get any other identifier because of exactly these gdpr concerns. This id is unique and can not be reversed back into who it belonged to directly. Works only on dedicated servers, until that changes I have this wrapper for workbench to return local ids. The id is not associated with the BI account you log into in the main menu, it behaves like your CD-key, one per purchase. You get 3 if you own AR on all platforms.

[green lintel]

Volumetric clouds seem to be some kind of a pattern. Anyone knows where to find the file for that and what config or whatever says that pattern is used?

[hollow rampart]

If I remember right the cloud system is not yet complete?

[green lintel]

can tune the height, density, color, etc. related to the time of the day. might be still some hidden stuff because not ready?

[green lintel]

ah I've understood wrong. these debug textures stuff change with the values that are changed in the .emat

Left one changes with all the Weather Map settings and right one is Height Density and Vertical Shape

[worn tangle]

interesting, I haven't checked out the weather system yet, I was hoping for something more procedural though as it might become a little repetitive when flying in jets

[green lintel]

The Cloud Size XZ by default is pretty low so it becomes repetitive quickly. it's 10000 by default which means that debug picture repeats after every 10km.

There are some pre-defined periods that you can choose for some setting categories. The higher period in the settings, the more spotted the pattern is. So it seems like there is some kind of system that has multiple pictures that you choose from and then adjust brightness, contrast, X/Z translation etc. on each and those become the clouds.

Since the higher periods are so spotty, it's also likely good to start from much higher Cloud Size XZ like 30km or above.

It's hard to tune these because the debug is one picture and that's why you can't always see what you're tuning and also the debug picture disappears if the game can't see any clouds... Like that's when you really need that debug picture to work...

[hollow rampart]

so we would need a proper weather editor extension with this stuff?

or can you edit these when the they are assigned on a map and see the changes there live?

oh wait that is in terrain editor there

right

oof

[green lintel]

I was thinking I saw the Periods also in the config, but that's only tunable in the .emat (at least for now). So need to choose one for each and make the clouds/weather from those, no changes between different weathers... haven't tested doing that manually with notepad editing if the game still maybe recognize the class or something.

Likely can't change that .emat in a fly anyway if I underatand right.

Hi I am new to the enfusion engine and I have just made a new terrain and imported the heightmap for it, however, after looking around the island, my camera seems to reach a border where I can no longer move the camera to view the rest of my terrain.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Or is there something I am doing wrong?
The terrain position is at the origin (0,0,0)

[green lintel]

Restart the World Editor.

The camera is tied to world's Dimensions Bound Mins and Maxs and those get updated to your terrain mesh limits after you restart it.

[merry lily]

I realised it fixed itself after I restarted but I was still curious as to why that happened. Thanks

[hollow rampart]

for some reason the camera space does not update before restart

[blazing thunder]

Does anyone know what is going on?

[stark acorn]

Select armaRefoger.gproj in data folder located in install dir of arma

thanks

when i went to get the file it suddenly started working this shit is crazy

[warped glade]

If I have Arma Reforger on Xbox Series X can I get access to the workbench? I have a pc but I don't want to buy reforger on steam aswell as on console

[worn tangle]

hey i just made a mod that changes the aesthetics of the rpg missile, when i load up the mod in game it isnt there i am guessing the base game model is overriding the modded one, if this is so how can i fix it?

[brazen marlin]

How can I add addons downloaded from the workshop into my project?

[unborn inlet]

what do you mean into your project?

you can create dependencies

[brazen marlin]

yeah, it was it.
I wanted to use a materials pack from the workshop into my terrain.
I got it working now.

[worn tangle]

hey does anyone know if there is a way to render decals that are further away, I currently have a decal on a vehicle that needs to be rendered from further away without disappearing

[paper sandal]

Give it more lods

[worn tangle]

ok gonna give it a try, i thought this was more a 3d model thing

[worn tangle]

hey i tried searching for a lod option for the decal and there was nothing, there must be some slider or option that determines the distance for when a decal disappears

[clear kernel]

Hey guys, I am curious, does Arma Reforger/Enfusion support VR? I have an Arma 4 fantasy of being in a vr cockpit providing CAS

[remote bronze]

There are some experiments for VR in Enfusion and also old Eye tracker Support but to my knowledge both are scrapped and or at the very end of the feature backlog. But at some point both existed.

[nova delta]

Project Lucie was the VR one, wasn't it?

Soo.. Anyone working on a Battle Royale mod yet? Or is there one out already? Would LOVE to play/host some BR servers with different community-maps

[rigid basin]

Looks like the rotation of the memory point (empty) in Blender is misaligned. You might be able to fix it with the rotation of the entityposition in workshop

Be careful tho, in Enfusion Y is up 😄

[empty nexus]

why can't they just be named forward, right and up instead of these weird letters

Does the engine plan to extend multithreading to scripters in the future?

[remote bronze]

Just some nice to know info regarding this the thread keyword (once patched to work outside of workbench) allows you to halt execution using Sleep(ms), but this is only a single threaded time sharing system / scheduler.

I am not sure if or how a real multi-thread implementation would work out. Usually there is little work you can offload to a side thread that could not be done once during boot. e.g. expensive scene setup generation. A lot of the time you need to work with the events of the engine, that require you to finish what ever you are doing on the same frame blocking. You can't take 5 seconds to calculate a physics movement for the past. I do see some use-cases, when entering total conversion territory, and it would be pretty cool to have the ability to parallelize some workloads even if only few people ever use it in a meaningful way, but from my knowledge this not a hot topic for BI. The engine has been built all this time on a single threaded approach for the script vm if I am not mistaken, even a major overhaul had it remain single threaded. I am pretty sure the option was once discussed and either is at the very far end of the backlog or it is not planned to be added ever.

I'd be pleasantly surprised if we do see a change in this regard for A4 maybe

[calm prism]

Good thing we have Intercept then 🙂

[pallid knot]

Script already is not single threaded, behaviour tree stuff runs in seperate thread

[remote bronze]

what in script is run in a separate thread?

I have yet to find something where I can plug a while(true){} into without freezing the entire game

[pallid knot]

As I said, behaviour tree scripts run in seperate thread

doesn't mean you can while true without freezing

[gloomy vapor]

Somehow the whole engine is running in a kind of tick environment.

[meager osprey]

That's actually not fully true. We had some issues with it. AFAIK atm BT scripts and AI scripts are run on main thread, during standard frame event. There are parts of AI which are multithreaded though, but its not BT.

[empty nexus]

[twilit barn]

Im having trouble figuring out how to change a SCR_SpawnPoint into a SCR_CampaignSpawnPointGroup in world editor. Anybody got any clues, or maybe a better channel to post in?

[smoky sinew]

Anyone recommend a good tutorial series to learn the basics of the engine (where scripts go, how to initialize a mod, etc)

I'd like to start learning how to script and mod but at least a couple months ago there was not much beginner friendly documentation (only some biwiki articles but I was completely lost)

[gloomy crypt]

Does whit new update the mods we make we need to update our mods?

[unborn inlet]

@gloomy crypt- do NOT cross post. The answer is maybe, depends on the type of mod and if game update changed the way some system work

[gloomy vapor]

Guess rn best place is still Wiki: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Category:Arma_Reforger/Modding
There are already many mod's using code/script's may have a look at how they did things just to get somewhat into it.

Also messing with vanilla code in Script Editor may will show/explain you some of the stuff.
Lot of the vanilla code has notes to it explaining what it does and how to use it.

1. step just do it! Trial & Error. 😉

[severe thistle]

does anybody have the "re-light" mod for the game. min dosnt seem to work

[heady prawn]

[unborn inlet]

@rare spindle - #creators_recruiting

[paper sandal]

I have abandoned it because the devs said they will add it to the game in a fuller capacity at a later date. I am also just busy with the helicopters

[severe thistle]

Ah okay, I appreciate your work man

Hope it's fine to ask but u remember seeing a bit ago someone was working on a L85a2 and the model looked great was just wondering who worked on it and if there was any updated I know a good few of us Brits are excited about British weapons and equipment mods

@slow shardWill be in "FIRST MILESTONE - GROUND SUPPORT" ETA: End of this year.

[slow shard]

Okay, thanks

[shadow urchin]

Can we control the emission of material in real-time by script?

[empty nexus]

Yes, via the parametric material instance component

[shadow urchin]

Yeah but works only with GameEntity

[empty nexus]

is that an issue? 😛

[shadow urchin]

Nope but most prefabs in game was build on GenericEntity while only few object that are used by players are GameEntity f.e Flashlight.

[empty nexus]

I dont even know what the difference is

[shadow urchin]

You can't assign a few interesting components when base prefab is GenericEntity, aaaand that's pretty it. ;P

I'm just wondering if ParametricMaterialInstanceComponent is not usable can I maybe switch the materials on prefab real-time?

[empty nexus]

There was something... Maybe @jade current can answer this question, I remember he was looking into this type of stuff

[shadow urchin]

Will be glad for any useful info on that case.

[jade current]

Yeah you can@shadow urchin

[shadow urchin]

Can you tell me how ?

[jade current]

It's not too straight forward unfortunately but sure

[shadow urchin]

Just anything @jade current what would give me possibilities to do that.

[jade current]

Well what was the problem with ParametricMaterialInstanceComponent ?

[shadow urchin]

It cannot be used with GameEntity prefabs. We wanted to make an option for PRC To have back-light turned on and off so firstly we wanted to audjust emmission strength by this component. But as it comes up it cannot be used with prefab of that type.

[jade current]

Oh okay

So the item you're changing the material you need to know the material slot name that you're gonna change

[meager osprey]

I think it may be something different. Few versions ago we fixed parametric component to work with emissivity on helmets.
Game Entity should work with parametric component, rather it's generic entity which could have issues. It's all from memory though, I could be wrong

[jade current]

    static void SetNamedMaterial(IEntity pOwnerEntity, string mat, ResourceName name)
    {
        VObject m_mMesh = pOwnerEntity.GetVObject();
        if (!m_mMesh)
            return;
        string remap = string.Empty;
        string materials[256];
        int numMats = m_mMesh.GetMaterials(materials);
        for (int i = 0; i < numMats; i++)
        {    
            if(materials[i] == mat)
            {    
                remap = string.Format("$remap '%1' '%2';", materials[i], name);
                pOwnerEntity.SetObject(m_mMesh, remap);
            }
                
        }
    }

[shadow urchin]

How to get one?
Is there any method to call it?

[jade current]

You open the prefab

look at its MeshObject

[brave valley]

anyone know of any mods making some British equipment ?

[jade current]

@shadow urchin

[shadow urchin]

You have right, our prefab is GenericEntity while ParameteicMaterialOnstanceComponent can be assigned to GameEntity

[shadow urchin]

On it.

[bold bolt]

ParametricMaterialInstanceComponent should work with any GameEntity. This is the very first class in the hierarchy where it should work. What exactly happens? Can you give us an error message or something?

[royal niche]

Choosing a box to host a server on, am I correct to assume single-core performance is key? i.e. Would I be better off with a mainstream CPU than a typical server CPU?

[shadow urchin]

@bold bolt yeah mismatched the Entities

[bold bolt]

And can you use GameEntity in your case, or is it a base game prefab ?

[shadow urchin]

GenericEntity as default radio in game is.

@jade current how to assign a material slot name to meshobject ?

[jade current]

I posted a function above

pass in the entity, slot name, and the new material

[shadow urchin]

Ah, my bad.

[empty nexus]

any generic VPS will do, and server providers usually prefer multithread, but it's fine, also #reforger_servers

[worn tangle]

quick question, What does the "transmittance" color channel in a NTO texture do? also would there be a more wider known term for it?

[violet sparrow]

Massive newbie here.. I was wondering how I'd go about editing the "Character_Base.et" like changing damage values. Any pointers/tips would be great.

[violet sparrow]

So I've done some digging and found I can "Override" the character base. Does that mean all characters will now use my overridden version?

[stark acorn]

yes, all character which inherit from that prefab will have your changes

[violet sparrow]

Thanks

[heady patio]

i see that BI finally adjusted reforger price to what its worth... gj lads... i mean u still only paying for early access to modding tools of arma4 but... (for those wondering its roughly around 1$)

[calm prism]

it still says 99,99zł according to steam metadata

[stark acorn]

Reforger doesn't seem to be same thing as Arma Reforger

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1954670/Reforger/

In Reforger, each unit can be equipped with a variety of different weapons, helmets or armors as you see fit to customize them, with powerful abilities at their back to turn the tide against the green menace! Field armored archers able to withstand returned fire, enduring healers holding the frontline, dedicated but frail wizards using overwhelm...

Price

$0.99

▶ Play video

[heady patio]

ah i see now... i dont know how i missed that... like it obviously it isnt arma reforger cuz it has better positive review ratio

[stark acorn]

it has no score and no visible review so it is sort of poor trolling at this point

[heady patio]

theres one, postivie but its in some asian language which is probably why u dont see it as by default steam will show reviews in ur language and 1 positive out of 1 means 100% positive reviews 😄

[hollow rampart]

@heady patio joke has been told. Now let's not make this off topic spam.

[brave valley]

to get access to the engine and do modding you need to buy the game right?

[meager osprey]

Yes

[silent wadi]

How do I go about adding files into blender from Arma Reforger? Im looking to get like an character model so I can use it to create items around the character and I cannot figure out how to import a file into blender from arma. I've set up the add on and all but idk why I can't see anything when I go to use it

[stark acorn]

you need to export your model to FBX

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:FBX_Import then you can follow this

I would also recommend reading some tutorials before starting doing character too to get familiar with Workbench like this https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Weapon_Modding
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Faction_Creation - this one contains bits about character configuration
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:FBX_Import - this has some bits about model import

[silent wadi]

Thank you. My first time modding to this extent and it's a lot to learn at first

[odd pike]

I have Arma Reforger, how do I install the Enfusion Engine now?

[unborn inlet]

@odd pikesorry what? enfusion is the engine that reforger runs on

[odd pike]

@unborn inlet ah sorry I meant how to access the Workbench once I have a copy of Arma Reforger?

[gloomy vapor]

Download Workbench in steam and double click: ArmaReforgerWorkbenchSteam.exe

[odd pike]

Got it, turns out you can also find it under 'tools' in Steam!

[royal niche]

So, you can't edit Eden/Everon in World Editor, but at runtime you can do pretty much anything, right? e.g. move/animate the map's entities.

[empty nexus]

correct (well, maybe)

[meager osprey]

Technically yes, removing objects, adding objects, some can be moved, doors can be opened, destruction can be done (replication needs to be handled especially for moving things around)

[full viper]

@empty nexus sorry to bother you dude, but i also want to start modding on Reforger but focused mainly on Game Master and AI. i don't know where to start though, like how do people even begin to learn this stuff 😂 . any advice?

[empty nexus]

Random idea and question:
Basically it should be possible to add deformation to custom vehicles, right?

I don't mean like beamNG full simulation, but like
just add bones to modded cars and have like bumpers bend and stuff deform a little bit on collision

[empty nexus]

yes

if you have the impact / collision point, grab the nearest bone (and maybe neighbours) and squish it

[nova delta]

That's how the matrix unreal demo had vehicle deformation implemented as well

[smoky sinew]

Does anyone have a mod for the SOVIET AFGHANISTAN WAR???

[shadow urchin]

🥲

[shadow urchin]

Hello there,

We are testing multiplayer behavior of our radio mod, but we are struggling with crashes caused by unknown error.

Gathered a lot of logs and data but we didn't manage to find anything useful.

The small hint that we think could cause a part of its issue could lay in SoundComponent for prefab which couldn't be found when on MP session.

We don't know if SoundComponent is being missed by our radio's SCR_RadioComponent but somehow that is the result of errors in the game.

1:1 Repro step when a player is dropping the radio on the ground.

In the workbench, we didn't get any crash that was caused by any issue mentioned above.

In order for someone could help us we have launched a server named AN/PRC 152 TEST SERVER. If anyone would be able to join and provide logs from "our" session we will be more than grateful.

[empty nexus]

did you test with peertool?

[shadow urchin]

Nope, what is that ?

[empty nexus]

it simulates clients joining to a workbench server

I would suggest starting at https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Weapon_Modding and https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Car_Modding

[paper sandal]

As 80s and cold war seem to favour weapons of mass destruction, and I am modelling a iowa class battleship, should I also implement the nuclear warhead rounds that the ship had as manufactured projectiles?
If I did the only issue is that explosives have a limited range of 1km at the moment…

Ironically enough that is around the same size as the effect area of the HE shells fired from the main guns

[empty nexus]

running explosion traces for anything beyond a couple meters is probably expensive

but your warhead could look for entities in a much bigger radius and destroy them

via script

we dont have environmental destruction yet so best we can do now is have the script delete entities that dont have a damage manager component

[paper sandal]

It would be ideal to be able to defoliate trees seeing as the HE round would clear around 300 meters around it

Almost like turning off the leaf texture

[empty nexus]

would be nice if we could hide meshes from script

then you could just find it by name "polyplane" or whatever and set it to not visible

[paper sandal]

You can for magazine animations

The magazine animation component hides meshes
So obviously there is something happening there

Without mods - not directly - only by using a web api and the built in http client - but after the 0.9.7 stable update you can make use of my db framework that takes care of all the annoying aspects for you. If you want to build some persistent gamemode, I recommend using that. dm me if you want to know more about it 🙂

[empty nexus]

aren't you using rendertarget in your opacity map? I don't think that's supported

wish I could test mods in xbox mode or something

[nova idol]

GUYS I SPAWNED A NOC IN A VEHICLE AND IT STRTED DRIVING AWAY💀💀💀💀

[pliant smelt]

That's 100% a bug or idk

[nova idol]

A good bug

[nova idol]

Npcs can also fly the Blackhawk somehow

[nova idol]

And they can drive the RHIB

[empty nexus]

did someone forget to disable driving navmesh in arland haha

[bright hamlet]

W Bug

How do you do that @pliant smelt

[nova idol]

If you want the vehicle driving you spawn a npc control them put them in the vehicle turn on the vehicle and then you exit the Npc and it will start driving.

Only works on arland.

[empty nexus]

it will work for one waypoint at a time and dont move the vehicle around

[nova idol]

The npc turns for me

[bright hamlet]

Odd Didnt work for me when you spawn the npc do you make him get into the car or spawn him then turn it on ?

[empty nexus]

take control, get in car, release/go into gm

[heady patio]

thats not the issue cuz i made 'potential fix' which was that i made separate material which doesnt have $rendertarget in opacity map and because of that i had to tweak other params (like blend mode) and the effect is visible in that first screen with white text

[empty nexus]

are you still using color modulation blending in that one?

[empty nexus]

afterward you can place a move waypoint and they will try to steer and drive to it, but chaining waypoints does not work and if you move or rotate the vehicle it will break the behavior as well

[heady patio]

normal one uses ColorModulate and that new one ("_console') had AlphaBlend since without that screen wouldnt be transparent and backlight wouldnt work

[empty nexus]

those artifacts look really weird

pip scopes use rendertarget dont they?

[heady patio]

one with AlphaBlend has no $rendertarget in opacity map

that might be it cuz scope uses different 'type of material'

[bright hamlet]

Broo… wtf he even starts the car and everything

I suppose you could say they “added” ai driving

[meager osprey]

Oh boy.

[heady patio]

changing to the proper mat class fixed the problem... crashed workbench twice while doing that but console players report that it works and theres no need for $rendertarget in opacity map (cuz theres aint one in that class)

[ocean ember]

Daft question say I make a terrain in one project. And I make some vehicles in another project. Is it possible to test said vehicles on said terrain without publishing it to the game?

[remote bronze]

Yes by adding it as dependency and have both projects registered in the workbench launch screen.

[ocean ember]

Cheers

[next trail]

You can also in project selection click right MB on your vehicle addon, click on Open with addons and there you select terrain addon.

[ocean ember]

Sweet cheers

[clear kernel]

Dang that is sad to hear, I have a dream of flying in VR providing CAS to my squad

[keen path]

Hopefully in enfusion 2

[tiny scarab]

definitely a missed chance at least for vehicle turrets

[hollow rampart]

VR is very niche technology and supporting it is not simple task. Its very likely not worth the cost of development

[smoky sinew]

it also puts you at a disadvantage

[lean pulsar]

is there vr?

[lean pulsar]

yes it is more work if u wanna move guns etc with your controllers. what we actually just want is vr for vehicles.

[smoky sinew]

you can use it too look around, but interacting with vr controllers is going to be harder to set up.

[paper sandal]

Is the only way to see out of the BTR to open the hatch? Is there no way to look out of the sights?

[smoky sinew]

they are adding in occluders to the viewports

so its gonna be like IRL viewports

[rugged escarp]

occluders ?

[coral harness]

Does anyone have an update on the little bird mod?

I heard a lot about it a few weeks ago but it seems to ha e gone silent

[chrome ridge]

From all I saw it's been silent for like

A couple months now

[radiant moss]

has bi said anything about red dot framework in reforger for mods?

[empty nexus]

red dot as in sights? there's a few on the workshop

[radiant moss]

yes, so what ive seen is multiple mods with holo/red dot sights where the reticle is part of the model(no paralax or illumination), I'm wondering what the word is on adding that functionality to reforger for modders to use if they have said anything on that note, because from what ive seen it looks like only magnified sights have framework built in. and several mods try to add red dots but cant, one mod has found workarounds to simulate parallax and illumination but its been broken for several updates now

[empty nexus]

i think both are possible but not sure about official support

[radiant moss]

Yeah the guy who made the modern optics figured it out on like the last three red dots he made but the illumination in that mod has been broken for a few (mod and game) updates so it seems there are issues with his workarounds

[empty nexus]

isnt parallax unwanted when aiming tho?

[radiant moss]

parallax as in the red dot has none and stays on target, current red dot mods have static reticles that are 2d images within the optic body which look bad and are inaccurate when not perfectly lined up

[empty nexus]

are you sure you mean parallax instead of just no zeroing stuff

[radiant moss]

parallax as in the reticle stays on target even when you look through the optic from an angle or slightly from the side

[empty nexus]

ohh yea the camera usually is lined up with the dot

[radiant moss]

https://youtu.be/B5zKqiaC8QA its the way the reticle seems to move when your head does, without the "parallax" simulation the reticle is always perfectly centered in the optic (like iron sights) and doesn't appear to move around or stay on target

[empty nexus]

I see wat u mean, technically the dot could stay still while the gun is recoiling when firing, or something?

or bind the dot to the camera, or something

[radiant moss]

yeah thats how older games like bf4 did it, not very pretty or totally accurate, however if you test the acog with rmr on top from the modern optics pack and just walk around while aiming youll see the reticle "bounce" but with many if not all other red dots in that mod the reticle will stay fixed to the optic unless ive missed an update

[empty nexus]

all red dots should be fixed tbh, only pip scopes should do this I think, but pip are not performance friendly

[meager osprey]

Holo sights and other collimators parallax is not supported, though planned

[radiant moss]

thanks! is there a place where i can see this stated?

[meager osprey]

No, I'm basically leaking internal info

[radiant moss]

lmao well thanks again i'm glad to hear thats coming

[keen path]

They just didn't have that technology back then XD

[gloomy vapor]

Next Changelog:
Fixed: Dev was leaking while in Discord! 😜

[worldly wedge]

Is there a way to make that unconscious state happen more often in a custom scenario or mod or something? Trying to figure out a way to implement more of the unconscious state needing revives an such!

[timber coyote]

There’s a unconscious state in the game?

[worldly wedge]

Yea I didn’t know until it happened to me, a teammate has to come heal you or something to wake up. It’s only happened to me I’ve never had to help someone yet tho

[rugged escarp]

i'm pretty sure it doesn't have one

[timber coyote]

Probably happen more if the Ai wasn’t aim bots domeing me from 300m with iron sights

[worldly wedge]

No it definitely does you go down an can’t move but can still talk

I’ll record it next time for you guys but it’s really cool to have a purpose for medics at that point so I’m trying to figure out what specifically creates that scenario

[rugged escarp]

yeah, i will only belive once seen in video

[worldly wedge]

Oh yea that’s totally fine I’ll get you one but I don’t really care if you believe or not I’m just trying to figure out how my scenario modder can replicate it for are scenario

@rugged escarp @timber coyote there’s literally a feedback fixed of the unconscious state referring to it 😂😂😂

[timber coyote]

I can’t believe I missed that

[worldly wedge]

Now that I had to prove glitch wrong I hope he can help 😂

[rugged escarp]

I'm " so very " confused, its stated everywhere that uncon was suposed to come with " Air assault "

[worldly wedge]

Yea we’ll for some reason it came early and I didn’t know about it either until it happened to me 😂

[rugged escarp]

Interesting... and its funny, they removed weapon deploy but added out of the blue uncon

[worldly wedge]

Yea It’s weird but I want to try to build on that with scenario tweaks to give medics more stuff to do on our server

[rugged escarp]

couldn't care less about you... simply i would consider that false information untill proven wrong, and i'm quite happy that i did, what else slipped trough bohemia lazy eyes

[meager osprey]

Unconsciousness is not fully implemented and what you encountered is apparently a bug.
Yes, it was promised for Air Assault milestones. Yes, as many other things is already work in progress.

[worldly wedge]

It was a cool bug cuz my buds had to come an revive me an my other bud went down an he had to get revived too

[uneven estuary]

Link please. I need to re read this

[worldly wedge]

The change log lol recently released

[radiant moss]

if you read the in game field manual theres sections for medical items like tourniquets even though they dont exist in game

[rugged escarp]

ikw, that's also supposed to be coming with air assault

[molten granite]

How do you edit keybinds in Enfusion, specifically for the World Editor ? I'd like to rebind something

Oh wait I found it. It's called shortcuts, not keybinds!

You can't change what I'd like to change. The CTRL you have to hold to change brushsize in World Editor. I always accidentally press it and change the size.

[green lintel]

You need to edit .chimeraUserInput.conf file. And you need to manually edit the modifiers in and sometimes need to even add extra modifiers so fire selector etc. don't get constantly clicked.

#enfusion_generic message

Also can't remember anymore what there is but some keybinds can be found in ArmaReforger/Configs/System/chimeraInputCommon.conf

[molten granite]

Oh, I'll take a look thank you.

[dreamy charm]

Does anyone know if I’m the future Bohemia will add a rappelling system to the game?

[radiant moss]

if we are its not coming till the air support update i would assume

[median hound]

ik a probably stupid question buuuuut

is there a way to get the modding tools without having the buy the game? i really wanna look at them and experiment.

[stark acorn]

No, Reforger Workbench depends on the data from the game itself

[nova ruin]

Whatever happened to that little bird in the works

[radiant moss]

if you check out the barracks bunkers in arland around the airbase you can find some next gen enfusion shit inside the bathrooms

[merry dagger]

Anyone have an idea when jets are coming to reforger? I've checked through the roadmap not too long ago, so I'm probably as lost as most, but it's worth asking since I want to start getting my Nighthawk into the game 😛

[radiant moss]

Not coming afaik

The roadmap covers all the main planned content and whole support will continue past the third main update major additions seem unlikely

Perhaps enfusion mod framework for jets will be added but as far as official jets or a jet sample I’m doubtful, that said modders have already added a helicopter so who knows what they’ll add in the future

[smoky sinew]

if they give us anything its gonna be a flight model and other generic stuff for aircraft

[royal niche]

I think about making a ZPU-2 or ZPU-4. Seems like a logical choice for a mod that can add a lot of fun without large amounts of work because KPVT is already in the game.

[smoky sinew]

ZPU 1

zpu 1 would be better since you could take it apart like the mortars that are coming and its a weapon that ive never seen in a game

[royal niche]

The game has physics joints for towing; can do ZPU-4 as a towed vehicle. I think 4 guns better than 1. More boom boom.

[tawny iris]

That thing would shred

Imagine having an FIA ambush with that. Do it.

[royal niche]

Just bought this beauty: https://blendermarket.com/products/zpu-4 Very accurate and detailed model

[smoky sinew]

those tires are made by a mad man

[chrome ridge]

The devs have said they ain't adding tanks and planes and if you look in this discord you can probably find like 400 instances of them saying this.

[chrome ridge]

Black Hawk Down: no survivors edition

[remote bronze]

Be careful with purchasing models, most if not all pages do not allow you to redistribute a model - because then obviously people could just buy everything from the market and release it for free. You will need to make significant alterations to the model and the textures OR keep you mod closed source. AR does fortunately only upload the custom formats (xob, edds) for model and texture when packing for workshop, and not the fbx or tga/png - but if you shared your mod with any other person in the source form you are violating the license (because the license on that model is for personal use, and not team etc).

[royal niche]

Thanks, was a Turbosquid artist myself from 2014 to 2017. I really needed a condescending comment about piracy.

[remote bronze]

My comment is not condescending, if you interpreted it as such then I am sorry. I told you and to an extend any people lurking to be careful because of the countless examples of people buying models and then having their mods DMCA'd a few days after publish for avoidable reasons. I have no way of knowing about ones background, so I'd rather mention it than having the next #ip_rights_violations post of some salty community member looking for flaws in other peoples mods.

[empty nexus]

well the license of this ZPU model does not allow redistribute and repackage without permission, but I assume you'd have permission by the time you implement it

[worldly wedge]

@uneven estuary it is pretty sick

[chrome ridge]

Looks rad, can't wait for it to be more properly implemented. I've played since launch and have never been in an unconscious state so it's probably, if it exists in a proper capacity, very jank

[pulsar spindle]

As i know, need to be activated on the mission header

[uneven estuary]

@worldly wedge Amazing! As far as i know everyone's excited as am i. Id love to know the blood loss levels in relation to damage causes unconsciousness

I heard in A3 one could "juice" themselves to be resistant to damage or have an energy boost

Wonder if that'd be true this time around as well

[visual spade]

hey guys, im working on a map in blender of a town in the UK, its 35km2 andshould be more than fine in armas engine, but im actually clueless, me and my brother are getting on really well making the map but ive no idea on how or when to move from blender to arma 3 mod tools, or anything require really, i just have a map in blender so far that's at first testing stage soon

if anyone has the time to share some knowledge please reach out, as this map means a good bit to me and it wont be getting abandoned

[empty nexus]

you seem to be posting in an enfusion channel not an arma 3 channel, unless you're actually trying to make a map for Reforger?

[keen path]

Does anyone know if it's hard to add killable trees?
I tried a bit to enable the damage module and stuff, but couldn't really figure it out yet

[agile smelt]

I hate trees too

[remote bronze]

It is not "hard" but unfeasible right now. You would need to override all the tree prefabs (and or tree base which would affect ALL trees - bad), add a few components to have replicated damage and that will cause a lot of memory allocation and network traffic. This is why the destructible system is "special" and still under construction. Having trees be destructible was at some point at least worked on, if and when we see something like it in vanilla I do not know. For now I recommend probably not doing it. If you want to ignore that, then you need a multi-phase destructible component and rplcomponent on the tree and figure out how you want to represent things visually. For inspiration you can have a look at the tree cutting system we made for our role-play gamemode: https://github.com/EveronLife/EveronLife/blob/main/src/Prefabs/Resources/WoodCutting/CuttableTree_Base.et

[tidal umbra]

Hey I am not sure where exactly to post this but I am working on an modded Arland Conflict with loadouts, saving the loadout and respawning with it works while playing in the editor but not after publishing and playing the scenario and was wondering if anyone can help me figure out what is going on. I think it has to do with the gamemode_campaign script but i am not sure as I have no experience with scripts

[tidal umbra]

oh never mind well sort of It works for PC players but on xbox they can not save their loadout

[remote bronze]

How/where are you saving the loadouts?

[tidal umbra]

Arsenal boxes

I’m sorry I’m extremely new to this I’m just trying to learn as much as I can to make a custom map for my server for my friends and wanted to start with a custom Conflict

Welp I figured it out I loaded it onto the server and now it works for xbox players so sorry for wasting time thanks for the help anyway

[jovial carbon]

Wondering, when someone will remake Squad AAS (Assault and Secure) gamemode in Arma Reforger? 😄
May be a good gamemode for low-population servers

[smoky sinew]

why dont they make fortnite in refrogers

[remote bronze]

Become that someone, if you need some help along the way the channels here are there to send you in the right direction

[nova ruin]

Whatever happend to the guys that were making helos

[silk swan]

Still going strong I believe: https://discord.com/channels/105462288051380224/995922591338475570
But as with every project; the last 20% takes the same amount of time as the first 80%

[sterile rover]

We simply started ignoring the "WhEn LiTtLe BiRd" questions. Stuff gets released when it's done.

[chrome ridge]

The "when will x be out" comments are silly but there's just been like no information at all ngl

[keen path]

Anyone know what happens to empty magazines?
They aren't on the ground, they are not in my inventory?
Where do they go?
How do I stop them?

[remote bronze]

They go into the void if you reload with a new magazine. If I remember correctly. I think the gameplay design does not want empty magazines to he refillable with individual rounds.

[keen path]

Ohh, but they just disappear 😄

I thought I broke something so had to test vanilla 😄

[empty nexus]

yeah poof

[keen path]

Made a little script to re-add empty mags
I like keeping empty magazines, it's like keeping memories of the good times when you still had ammo left

[molten granite]

Now we just need loose bullets and the ability to load magazines. 😛

[remote bronze]

That can be achieved via script actually. But not sure it that is enjoyable gameplay. Having to find individual bullets for magazines is something I disliked in DayZ.

[molten granite]

Everyone has their own taste

[neon flicker]

Loading a magazine with different types of ammo manually e.g. Tracer-AP-FMJ-AP-Tracer

[remote bronze]

Hopefully for A4 the system is setup so one magazine can actually hold different ammo without needing to create all variants for prefabs. That could allow the last 3 bullets to be tracer for example.

[molten granite]

Magazines already are loaded with tracers at the bottom though

[empty nexus]

yea theres a config file that specifies what bullets can go into it sort of

[keen path]

I literally do that in tarkov

People call it ammo salad

[empty nexus]

lead salad yum

[gloomy vapor]

Oh that's actually a pretty good idea for A.I. as well.
Making them drop their empty magazines to the ground after reload. 😋

[smoky sinew]

it would be super mega cool if we could make loose bullets from mags or clips, load mags with clips and loose bullets. and top off magazines like on the m14 and vz 58 using the inspection key. :3

[molten granite]

Ah don't worry I think in 2045 when DayZ Reforger is out we'll have that feature.

[hollow rampart]

Having the option to do so would be cool and it would likely have its uses in various game modes. The "normal" Arma style war/combat ops type of situations would benefit less from it and such missions likely would give access to enough readily loaded ammunitions/mags so people can go pewpew and don't need to spend half their game night repacking mags.

[molten granite]

I could see it being cool in a more realistic type of Combat Ops where you scavenge ammunition. No starting arsenal or anything.

[uneven estuary]

It would be cool if you could fill/mix match your magazine(s) with tracer and fmj

Slot each round yourself for those who want the extra spice to the realism

[keen path]

Here's my problem:
that would require making a script that replaces your bullet when you fire based on a custom script which determines what bullet your loaded in that magazine, lots of work
Because right now all of that is outside enfusion, inside the C++

So if you want that feature in specific, just go to dayz 😄

[tight ridge]

waait dayz let’s you swap between ammo in mags?

well ammo types*

[keen path]

Yeah you HAVE TO manually load ammo in dayz and you can load in any order you want

In vanilla there is only ammo and tracer ammo, but it's not hard to add a AP ammo that does mor damage to armor and reduces gun durability faster

[leaden shadow]

Could use some help - Enfusion has stopped recognize changes I make to the prefab component. When I update a value it doesn't add the asteriks to show it sees the change (and ofc, saving doesn't work bc it doesn't recognize the change).

I tried restarting the editor, Steam, then my computer.

[leaden shadow]

My solution to this was to start a new project, which obv wouldn't be an option if it was a more complicated mod so if anyone has a solution I'm still interested.

[spice sinew]

Hey guys, I’m new to modeling but I want to learn, and I decided that my project will be to recreate altis in enfusion, I will probably start by making kavala, and once I get the basics from that I will work on the rest, the only thing I can’t figure out rn is how I can get my hands on the height map of altis, I don’t have Arma 3 on my current steam profile so I wanted to know if anyone here could help me out with the height map?

[rugged escarp]

i would advise you to try something smaller, if you tackle a big project like this first you may get a burn on fast

[stuck eagle]

I have a question hopefully anyone could answer but is there a server only for mods for Arma reforger like strictly Arma reforger mods or is this server more or so the best server for that?

[spice sinew]

Beginner mistake

Lost 4 hours of work because i forgot to save

[empty nexus]

oh no

[gloomy vapor]

Workbench is king in teaching users this lesson.
Can't tell how often i was like "No problem everything is working well" just to find WB crashing right in the next moment.
Thank god problems with WB crashing has been very littl since quite some time.

[paper sandal]

I deleted the wrong prefab before I uploaded the Stryker. Atleast a day of work was lost

[haughty sage]

What was lost? Or was it all redone before upload

[paper sandal]

I had to re-make it all
It's one of the reasons the first release took so long

[haughty sage]

Oh wow that can’t have felt good, i’m glad to see that you’re this devoted to it though like real talk, how fast you’ve been updating and improving on it is awesome

[keen path]

gotta get git or backup

I used git extentions to make it like easier and was also worried I might accidentally delte or spill coffee

[leaden shadow]

idk why I haven't gotten git for my mod projects yet. I've made like 3 mods now.

[magic palm]

I have no experience in modding Arma, how would I go about starting.

[stray grove]

Is anyone working on a nvg model?

[earnest sundial]

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

[median cosmos]

Is this about engine that DayZ runs on or about Reforger one and thus Arma 4 one?

[rugged escarp]

Reforger...

[median cosmos]

Okay

[nova ruin]

Is there any mods out there that include hesco barriers

[open pivot]

How do i add the gamemaster mod in a mission?

[real patio]

is there a place I can find the code for the combat arms: arland scenario?

[earnest sundial]

If you open the mission in the world editor you can find some entities that have classes to do with Combat Ops (e.g. SCR_GameModeCombatOpsManager ) - you can then jump to the script definition for those and have a browse

[jovial vale]

how simple is it to increase the player count for combat ops?

do we just create a modded version of the scenario with increased player count in its config, or is there more to it than that?
