[hushed coral]

ahhh that makes sense, i guess i had attempted to do it all within one subworld. I am wondering how i get the "{A264B84F0298F73E}Missions/map.conf" identifier for my scenario?

[bright sable]

It should technically also work in one subworld, that just means you can't have multiple gamemodes for it.

[hushed coral]

and is that value only visible from the workshop page or is is generated in the editor as well like the GUID*?

[bright sable]

As for the config, it is easiest to duplicate a similar scenario config and edit it. The resource name can be obtained by right clicking it in the Workbench, just like with other resources.

[hushed coral]

gotcha ty i will continue working on this

[wraith tiger]

What type of collider should I choose for car?

?

[next trail]

because experimental has also its own Bohemia Account
it has completely separate backend services which includes both Workshop and Bohemia Accounts

What dose the disabled flag on entities do in the background?
Dose it not initiate the entity on world load or is it just setting it to inactive?

[royal niche]

Does this binarzed data clause apply only to data that comes with the game, or also to mods? For example, can I take an APL licensed Terrain and unlock it with workbench in the same manner myself and others did for Everon?

[wraith tiger]

why are my colliders not working??

Hello again, I seem to be having an issue placing basic AI. When i place a "group_us_fireteam" the ai spawns, but when i use a ""ambientpatrolspawnpoint" i do not see any ai spawning from it. does anyone know what i may be missing? thanks!

[twilit barn]

For one thing, the ambient ones there needs to be a player in range for them to spawn in.

[odd fossil]

anyone with experience want to help me with a small project for my server? alot of the mods are available , im guessing i need to make a map or add things to the config file, things have changed alot since arma 2

[hushed coral]

i have loaded into the game through the editor and tried to run up to these spawns as friendly and enemy but they dont seem to spawn

also if anyone has good resources working with the current enfusion and arma reforger, a lot of the tutorials i find on this topic are not working out for some reason.

So far i can only spawn ai as static "group" objects

[sterile rover]

@olive tundra It was being held back because I didn't feel like rushing the modeler who offered his free time to make it for me. And yes, I'm holding onto a model for that because the original interior was crap.

[olive tundra]

That is understandable

I'd rather you release it when you think it's ready, than release it under baked

[sterile rover]

I'm not going to be a dick to someone that offered and keep bugging him.

And the comment about adam being unbothered just came off as a shot at him. As there have been multiple at different modders the past two weeks.

[olive tundra]

I've personally been excited for your BTR
I haven't been hounding you over it the past few months, have I?
I asked when you first revealed it's existence

It wasn't a shot at anybody, dude has more important things to worry about than a shitty videogameb

Instead of waiting patiently for Adam to take time out of his life to do something for us, why not let another modder join the fray and attempt to do it themselves?

[hushed coral]

does anyone have experience with a game project being either overwritten or deleted after a dependency is introduced post creation?

what I am seeing is that when i go to open my project, it nows opens with the active project being one of my dependencies, and my original project is unable to be found

This is my error log

INIT : Workbench startup
ENGINE (E): BackendDebug:: HttpClient Cleanup
INIT : Workbench Init Engine
ENGINE (E): Addon 'EveronMAP' dependency '5F26864xxxxxxx' can't be added-

with EveronMAP being the name of the now missing project

[stark acorn]

5F26864xxxxxxx that doesn't look like correct GUID and might be reason why its missing

[hushed coral]

i filled in xs

[stark acorn]

it is missing though

[hushed coral]

the guid supplied in the actual message seemed normal format

[stark acorn]

it is most likely wrong or missing in project list

[hushed coral]

do i need to reimport that project maybe?

[gloomy mountain]

hey guys im new here so this might be the wrong channel but i followed a tutorial yesterday on mapmaking and he said to hit the green play button but for me its greyed out. Any ideas?

[remote bronze]

It might be missing some of the necessary setup to be playable? #enfusion_terrain

[gloomy mountain]

its working now. I believe it was because i didnt have reforger server downloaded on steam. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction

[remote bronze]

Downloading server app on steam is unrelated, but as long as it works thats good 🙂

[gloomy mountain]

hmmm oh well 😄

[hushed coral]

Hello again, ive been having an issue where when placing ambientpatrolspawnpoint, nothing spawns. I have made sure theres budget available, set respawns to 10 seconds. i see other base patrols spawning but not my ambient points

Ive tried to follow quite a few tutorials but cannot get anything to spawn myself, the only ai i can get to spawn are either added as a static group, or preexisting on the map edit

[stark acorn]

reimport? Double check for sure that GUID is correct and that is listed in Enfusion Workbench Launcher list of projects

[hushed coral]

i actually relaunched the editor a few times and the issue seemed to clear

[stark acorn]

also, make sure that dependency of that dependency is also available

[hushed coral]

my ai issue also seems solved, i was loading something with a lot of ai already and think it was messing with it

[wraith tiger]

Why might the wheels not spin?

hi guys i have quite a huge problem : im creation a arma reforger version of brdm, and in the et editor im right now at adding Action Contexts, but when i do the "create User Action from bones" and i choose some bones click ok, none Actions are added? How do i fix that ?

[jade current]

WTF do you mean by the "create User Action from bones"?

[remote bronze]

The action context is the info of where the action will be. So in your case on the bone. You still need to add which actions should be shown for the context. It could be multiple.
Also please don't cross post the question 🙂

[vocal blaze]

i just found out you can have two resource browser tabs, i love enfusion engine so much this means there is no need for me to navigate every 30 seconds between two folders

[grave shoal]

You better ask your question in the #enfusion_model

[worn tangle]

i thought this was the case, i will give the project a miss

[twilit barn]

asking again here as my question has been burried. How would I go about creating a game master setting to change a players rank in game? I really need this for testing rank locked things, I do not have the time to rank up to major just to test something out. Also please tell me if this feature is already included in a mod.

[grave shoal]

i think you can upgrade your level with the debug menu

but i dont knwo how to make it as a mod we are trying to do it for using it swith your conflict in order to have rank lock sync to a discrd grade

[twilit barn]

thanks! I found it in the menu, but when I change it to true nothing happens? How do I trigger it to happen?

tried hitting enter and spacebar once its true... Debug docs dont really help, Conflict menu isnt even listed there. 🤷‍♂️

yeah, IDK why but its not working for me. Isnt there some box i can tick so I can edit a players rank in GM instead?

[grave shoal]

you willl need to make right arrow in order to activate it

[twilit barn]

well for me, right arrow just changes it between true and false, same as left arrow. actually does nothing

[grave shoal]

i have found the script that is applied to level and we are tryng to midfy ut

[grave shoal]

you dont have the message promotion next to it when you make it ?

[twilit barn]

no, Im still a little private. No message at all. Ive been having to go to a cap point and kill all the AI and change the faction to US and back to USSR multiple times to get any progress toward ranking up, its so super annoying...

Im not doing that to get to major, that will take forever

[grave shoal]

when iam in your scenario and try it it works ?

[twilit barn]

🤷‍♂️

[grave shoal]

can yo uscreen share it ?

i have send you a pm

[twilit barn]

just to wrap this up, i ended up having to reset my workbench profile to get this to work! Big thanks to @grave shoal

[hushed coral]

does anyone know how i could define the rank requirement in a match to spawn a specific vehicle from the station?

[amber ingot]

Yeah DM me 😄

[odd fossil]

having a hard time adding more than 2 mods to my arma server

does anyone have a template for the syntax? keep getting error i feel it was done correctly its driving me nuts

[twilit barn]

Have you figured that out for anything above sgt? If so, can you post how here so others can also learn?

[hushed coral]

a buddy of mine figured it out i think, im still having an issue adding a rank to some modded vehicles im pulling in but basically.

To add rank req to a vehicle, you must open inventory catalog, find the vehicle, and add "spawner data override" as an entity data list.

im not sure if it works for above sgt though

also if this is incorrect feel free to inform me 😄

[twilit barn]

Afaik it does not work above sgt. https://feedback.bistudio.com/T180461

I tried that exact method already

If you have the same issue, post on the ticket, maybe they'll test it faster!

[hushed coral]

im having issues with setting some things like the slot size and rank of a modded vehicle, for the t72 specifically keeps overriding my large slot and sgt rank requirement.

i am checking on the lt rank since it should be on my live version

wonder if theres some config defining the top rank or something with the sgt+ issue

not seeing this ah1 so will try dropping rank and see if it works with sgt or below

[kindred lotus]

Happens as soon as i hit any key. any ideas on how to fix ?

[hushed coral]

I have tried adding the t72 tank mod a few times into my mod, just attempting to add it to ussr_vehicles.conf. I am seeing that in the default t72 mod folder, they have a config that defines the spawner data. Even though i am loading this vehicle via my local ussr_vehicles my spawnerdata is not overwriting what seems to be in the default app possibly. anyone have any ideas?

[hushed coral]

Is there a way to output the final version of a config file?

for example can i output the final us_vehicles.conf including inherited/dependencies to see what will be loaded on the server?

it seems like other us_vehicles.conf from mods are adding information not seen in my local us_vehicles.conf

[flat canopy]

anyone know why i add the m113 to my vehicles.conf and why i can't set my own rank and supply requirement?

try to add override and set to private and 500 supply but go back ingame and its still set as sergeant and 800 supply

but i dont see anywhere to modify these values

[worn tangle]

spiderman?

[twilit barn]

It's now set in the prefab itself in the editable entity component instead of the config file. And for anything above sgt, it's broken and there is a ticket for it here: #enfusion_generic message

[flat canopy]

Thanks man, is there anyway to modify ambient spawnpoints skill/difficulty level somehow? ive tried a few things but im not able to have them spawn with modified skill

i prefer the ambient spawnpoints because i can't really spawn pre-spawned fireteams etc... because i cant figure out how to get them to respawn

[twilit barn]

Not that I know of, but it probably wouldnt be too hard to add it to that component once you find out where that variable is in the scripts. 🤷‍♂️

Im having trouble overriding a prefab with an action class already on it. I keep trying to either change the class or move it to the bottom of the list with a higher # priority (because I can't delete it). However, every time I restart workbench it ends up back at the top of the list with my settings changed like its trying to change back to its original action class. What am I doing wrong?

[hushed coral]

could anyone help me out with adding weapons/equip to entitycatalog?

i keep seeing entries i didnt enter so im assuming some of the config im seeing like us_inventoryitems is a final config with the configs from the lines from the dependencies in my project? Is there a way to select and merge all these us_inventoryitems.conf? im also seeing entries in my list which seem valid but do not appear in game

an example of something enabled but not able to be found in game

top level

[hushed coral]

im mainly having an issue adding the majority of RHS content, the inventoryitems supplied with this mod is for usmc not US, so im not sure how beyond manually adding each item i can get the bulk of RHS content onto the US side, instead of USMC

[stark acorn]

Add rhs entity catalog, like whole config, to us list

[hushed coral]

that list definition just caught my eye tyvm

hmm maybe i misunderstood, i thought i saw an option to add an existing list as a multi list within my inventoryitems.conf?

how would i add it to the config? ive tried copy past but it seems like the identifiers mess up

when copying the files over as text files

[hushed coral]

think i figured it out

nvm i copied the rhs catalog usmc, renamed to us and put in the correct folder, still do not see these items

[strange pagoda]

Hello ! Could someone explain to me how to use workshop content on my project?

[hushed coral]

can start by adding it as a dependency in the top left menu options

[strange pagoda]

on the reforger tools ? or in game ?

[flat canopy]

on the tools you open your project and Workbench -> options

just add new entry and select the dependency

I dont know who to ask, im new to this but trying to create a sign with a custom image for my server, how do I do that, for Arma Reforger ofc

[twilit barn]

Still trying to figure out what's wrong with the vehicle lock by rank system for anything above sgt... Anyone?

Sure would be nice if we got a modders blog that explains how to change our mods to the new method of spawning vehicles. I feel like it's been a month now since these changes and nothing but radio silence on the topic from the devs. 😞

[hushed coral]

anyone know what config file or script i should look to in order to setthe default loadouts players initially spawn with in campaign gamemode?

right now they spawn with either last saved or the default base game gear, which i have removed from my arsenals which stops players from saving loadout unless they full drop the starting kit

just makes for a confusing experience im trying to clear up

[earnest sundial]

Hey friends, trying to figure out the best way to configure my recoilless rifle to have the behaviour I want. This covers a few different areas, so doesn't really fit into a single channel.

Ideally I'd like to make it so the weapon can be reloaded properly, i.e. round is loaded, round is fired, spent casing is unloaded, new round is inserted. However the launchers in game currently use the muzzleinmag component, which removes the entire round when fired.

If I try to change it over to a regular muzzle component and make the round a magazine, the projectile inside the magazine has to use the shellMove component - which in turn means that the RocketTraceEffectComponent doesn't work, so I can't give it a trail like how a PH7 would. If I change it to MissileMove, it crashes the tools on firing. How would I go about adding a trail/tracer in the base of my projectile?

Additionally I'd like to hide the round & pressure disc at the back of the casing when fired - I tried using the AnimatedMagazine component and its 'hide when empty' array, however this systems seems to be set up to remove the round when it is loaded into the chamber rather than when fired. Not sure how best to proceed here. Is it possible to animate scale? In that case I could just make an animation on fire that hides the projectile/pressure disc?

In general, am I taking the right approach with this, or missing something obvious? At the very least I can just lump with treating it like the vanilla rocket launchers and live with magically disappearing casing

[empty nexus]

the actual round spawning/despawning is done via animation events, for example see the UGL reload animations

[earnest sundial]

right, but the vanilla UGL doesn't work properly either - the 40mm casing disappears after firing if I'm not mistaken

[empty nexus]

but does that work with a rocket?

wait, really?

[earnest sundial]

yeah whole thing disappears just checked

[empty nexus]

I don't have a good solution for you, but if you want a horrible one you can have a hidden (flapping between 0.01 and 1.0 scale) round in your mesh that is controlled by the reload animation

[earnest sundial]

yeah I think that might have to be it 🤷‍♂️

[empty nexus]

I am an expert in doing things in weird ways

[earnest sundial]

haha this is the way, cheers

[empty nexus]

omg you right the ugl shell disappears

I'm able to see the rock rotate with the modded radar when I'm close to it , but moving further away it snaps back to the position I set it to under the base slot component entity. Curious if that will matter when I later figure out how to attach a volume entity that will illuminate a light when that volume entity overlaps with an enemy helicopter. Here's video of what I'm experiencing, the rock is jsut a placeholder, but curious if there's anything I should read over more carefully in the wiki. Thanks ahead of time.

Would anyone know why when swapping from a campaign gamemode to a more generic one, why does my ai stop spawning? i see that vehicles are also not spawning, makes me think theres something up with the factions but they are all here and playable/active for testing

[hushed coral]

another update, while it seemed unlikely from the documentation, enfusion persistence can work with the campaign game mode. at the moment i only have this working by selecting a factioned prefab for the character to spawn as, located in scr_gamemodecampaign, EPF_basicrespawnsystemcomponent

if anyone has thoughts on how to integrate EPF with a side selection on first join, and 2 persistent characters each of their own faction, im all open

or even 1 persistent character and 1 prefab spawn in

I need help if someone may know how to help... So on Arma Reforger World Editor.. I'm trying to edit Eastern European map Serhiivka.. But everything is locked... The map owner gave me a plugin and said I would be able to edit as I please.. But didn't explain what I should be doing...

[visual blaze]

more than likely he had the belief you would make a subscene with the world editor and not actually edit the physical map/terrain assets

therefore you can not edit the actual terrain and that plugin is intended to allow you to create a subscene on top of that map

without any restriction

Don't use a slot component. Add your "light" as a child of the satellite.

[twilit barn]

bump again! Why is this vehicle spawn rank lock issue being completely ignored?

its beyond frustrating

[jade current]

What exactly is the issue? Which vehicle and which acton?

[twilit barn]

someone just sent me a mod made to fix the issue. The issue was: any vehicle locked to any rank above sgt was available to anyone to spawn in, even privates. So my helis I had locked to major rank would be available to privates. Im testing out this new mod now.

I was trying to override the sign that contains the Request Vehicle action in an attempt to roll back to the older method of spawning vehicles off the sign instead of in building mode.

[frigid plinth]

Damn gotcha... Is there a way to edit terrain in the base maps? like Everon?

[visual blaze]

i believe so i've never tried it out though

you should jsut be able to open up the terrain in the editor

[frigid plinth]

Copy I'll try again, but everon entities are also locked

[hushed coral]

has anyone else had a similar issue with shop system?:

ive tried to recreate the working example the mod comes with, but in my own world i am having an issue completing the transaction, ui loads and seems functional, but the actual purchase function is not working

Figured this out, apparently i was using a modified player controller prefab that i was not aware of, added the required component to it and now everything is working

[orchid tangle]

why is my chracter on the ground? do i need to rotate something in the model?

[kindred lotus]

Need Help please. Vehicle keeps top speed even after fully stopping.

[remote bronze]

Can you provide some details about your implementation?

1. Is this SP or MP?
2. Are you using water volumes to make the boat float (like our BTR does) or is this custom?

[kindred lotus]

1.Tried on both SP and MP
2.Using Water volumes

Used mostly SCR_VehicleBuoyancyComponent and VehicleWheeledSimulation Components

vehicle drives completely fine on the water just seems to hit a brick wall every time you stop moving forward and than acts like you never lost momentum only way to get it to act normal again is to shut down the engine.

seems the game is like if the vehicle is accelerating and hits water stop momentum. which is to be expected with no true watercraft components.

[remote bronze]

What do you mean with "mostly"?

[empty vessel]

Would be interested to hear if that mod fixes the issue.

[empty vessel]

If you figure this out, I would be interested to know. I have tried, but can't figure it out.

I am trying to add a custom patch into the game, I've tried two things, duplicating and inheriting 2 different inventory configs of the dependency mod (RHS) in both, I have edited the inventory and added my custom patch but for some reason I can't still see it in Arsenal at all, any ideas?

[winged pecan]

Hmm, if I override RHS's specific config, it seems to be working, but I am not sure if it'll work with other mods easily as well? Can I somehow just make it so it "adds" to the arsenal as opposed to overriding another mods data?

[twilit barn]

It does fix it

anyone have any experience creating storage boxes? to start out im just looking to create a box that players are able to place items into/take from. If anyone knows of a good prefab or method lmk please 😄

the box should be of its own inventory and not displaying arsenal or something like that

[hushed coral]

I was able to find a non persistent"lockers" mod to reference on workshop, adding the EPF_persistencecomponent with a component of BaseInventoryStorageComponent together with the UniversalInventoryStorageComponent/SCR_UniversalInventoryStorageComponent (and action manager as seen in the locker mod) created a persistent player storage box

Hello everyone, new to enfusion. I'm having issue. I'm trying to add a prefab to all hangars on the map, so I edit the hangar, add my prefab then apply changes to the arma reforger prefab (hangar). My prefab shows in all the hangars on the map, however when I restart the world editor my changes are gone 😦

[dull wind]

did you make a sub scene of the world where you edit the prefab ?

[static anchor]

I just make an instance of the hangar and do the steps above

[dull wind]

Which stages?

[static anchor]

Sorry yes I did make a sub scene

but my prefab changes are disappearing on world editor restart :\

[snow fable]

im kinda interrested in this are you willing to share ?

[dull wind]

strange, try to place an building in your sub scene and see if this building stays

[static anchor]

the building stays

[dull wind]

can you do a screenshot of your prefab pls ?

[hushed coral]

of course, i loaded in the prefab from the lockers mod, then edited it so that it would use a different prefab as the item in world. then added the persistence component from EPF

changed the actionsmanager entry for it as well since interaction seemed difficult to find or misplaced when i imported the mod

I am working on scripting to lock/unlock doors to start, but might expand it to the lockers if it seems simple enough

[jade current]

You don't need to tbh. I can release that functionality if need be.

[hushed coral]

Id definitely appreciate a reference to work from 😄

this is my first time trying to add custom scripts as components

If you release I will be using yours, but will likely see through the development of mine too just for the education

[jade current]

Look at the Predicates

[hushed coral]

ahhhh

SCR_ItemTypeSearchPredicate?

or inventorysearchpredicate

[jade current]

depends on what you're actually trying to do

For your usage use SCR_BandagePredicate as an example, instead of SCR_ConsumableItemComponent use your custom component. You'll have to alter the functionality of the IsMatch() to work for your needs.@hushed coral

[empty vessel]

Any chance you could let me know what mod it is?

[snow fable]

this works pretty awesome lol haha .
just one question do you know this way is the locker locked to one player or can anybody of the faction see the content ?

[hushed coral]

in that basic implementation its just an open storage box with persistence, anyone can take from or put into it

[snow fable]

tought so thanks in advance for info

best advice is to look for guides on the bohemia wiki, try to read through some of their documents, then for the coding and scripting, you will have to somewhat be semi-fluent in the enforce script, to do that look at bohemia interactives github page, it has sample scripts for sample mods that you can try out

it wont be easy if you have zero prior experience with scripting/coding but it is worth the pain 😅

[last mist]

Yeah I have zero experience you just scared me

[visual blaze]

oh okay, you can still do a lot

it would just revolve aroudn editing scripts versus creating them

[pulsar halo]

Hello everyone, does omoene know how can i move my weapon preview ?

[visual blaze]

#enfusion_animation might have the people you are looking for

[last mist]

It’s recently caught my attention a lot so idk trying to find anything to help me learn I’ll take a look at the wiki!

[visual blaze]

nice, i wish you the best, also if you see any scripts that you like you can always copy and paste them into the notepad to look at them/save them for future reference

[remote bronze]

inventory item component, there are properties to adjust hand position.

[pulsar halo]

I tried to move some parameters, but i didn't do anything. Do you know where i can find these parameters ? Is it a custom attribute ?

[remote bronze]

https://github.com/EveronLife/EveronLife/blob/main/src/Prefabs/Items/Drinks/WaterBottle.et#L10

[pulsar halo]

I moved this parameters but nothing happend

[remote bronze]

Restart worbench

[pulsar halo]

It's the same ... 😢

[remote bronze]

Should not be, change it to something very noticeable and make sure to do it on the prefab and not entity instance

[pulsar halo]

I made this on the component, restart Workbench, and nothing happend, when i test

[spice phoenix]

My own project has gone into read-only status. How can I fix it?

[hushed coral]

could have loaded the wrong version? it seems to me like you will have 2 versions of your mod locally, one read/write, and one which is published/packaged and read only

[spice phoenix]

Can I still edit a project after publishing it?

[hushed coral]

yes you need to edit the read/write version, you should see the diff versions if you search for the project in the launch menu

[spice phoenix]

Since I was using git, I went back to an old commit and it was unlocked, when I moved to the main branch, it remained unlocked.

I have no idea why it was locked and why it was unlocked. 😄

[static anchor]

My workbenched crashed, and now when I open my addon it's missing all my paths/files 😦

they all exist locally in the addon but workbench is not showing any of them

I'm opening my addon, but workbench opens a different addon

It's like my resourceDatabase.rdb is corrupt

[jade current]

Delete it then reopen

[static anchor]

didn't work 😦

I have only 2 addons, mine and your loot spawner. When I open my project right now it loads your loot spanwer

[jade current]

I have never had any issues like that. That's odd. I assume that a new resource database was generated?

[static anchor]

it was not

workbench crashed as I was saving a loot config and then this started happening

I found the issue, not too sure how to fix it yet

[jade current]

What's the issue?

[static anchor]

I got it fixed

I added a second dependency that also had dependencies that I didn't have

so the error was in the logs. Thank you though

[snow fable]

is it possible to create objective / tasks local to a player instead of team wide ?

in my case i am using scenario framework and want a task to spawn and be finished by every single player

[blazing patrol]

The ping with servers is so bad (p.s. the servers are close from my location in brazil)

[tacit crag]

So I got a quick question, I’m about to buy arma reforger, again. And I want to make a mod that adds like a extreme amount of battlefield 4 voice lines but I don’t know if it’s allowed, like you can find them on YouTube but I’m still not sure if it’s ok

[sterile shoal]

its not ok

[tacit crag]

You know where the audio rules are because I want to see what I can try to do

[jade current]

You can't steal voice lines from another game and use them.

That's literally the same thing as stealing a song.

[tacit crag]

Well I know that but I’m wonder what makes some things allowed and not allowed or what will make it count as “pulled”

[sterile shoal]

its quite simple. If you didn't make it, the only way you can use something is that somewhere the person that did make it states very clearly and without any question that you can use it in the way you want. That is it. This is typically done in a license that is there with whatever files are distributed. If its vague, or unspecific then its always assumed to be RESTRICTIVE. i.e., you cannot use it in any way.

since you are specifically talking about BF4 i can tell you with all certainty you dont even have the license to see these files, let alone to port them to another game. Usually when you buy a game like BF4 it comes with a license that you are granted the right to play the game (you dont even own it typically) and usually extractig things like in-game files (anything, not just audio) is a breach of the license

[tacit crag]

Thx

[tacit crag]

I’m probably just gonna make Shanghai then stop there

Modding sucks

[empty nexus]

relatable

[tacit crag]

I just fear that nobody is interested in a map that’s a large city like Shanghai and I just wasted my time and money

[jade current]

Modding is absolutely awesome. Not being able to steal other people's/company's intellectual property shouldn't stop you from modding.

[jade current]

Also, if you're not modding for yourself then you're doing it for the wrong reason

[tacit crag]

It’s not that it’s just that some things are hard to understand, especially blender

[empty nexus]

Patience. Competence in fields like this is often a function of patience and motivation over time.

[tacit crag]

I’m get bursts of motivation every once in a while but I feel like I should focus on more simple things, that’s why I put other things to the side until I get more experience, that’s why I’m making a map first because it’s more simple in my head

[jade current]

Myself and a few others have literally been doing this for 2 years as of tomorrow. If you don't have the motivation then you'll never succeed in what you're wanting to accomplish. 2 years and I haven't accomplished what I intend on accomplishing but I'm still at it everyday.

[tacit crag]

deep, maybe I should just stick to learning blender even though it makes me want to eat bricks, it can’t be that hard in the long run

[wheat grove]

I'm really bad at the blender side as well it is new to me but I have fun writing scripts

The Enfusion tools make things a lot easier as I learnt how on DayZ and there really isn't any decent tools to help

The blender side of things isn't even interesting to me. It takes too long to get good at and I already have a career and go to school after work.. hard to devote that time when you only have a few hours on the weekends

[jade current]

• there really isn't any decent tools to help. Help what?

[wheat grove]

In DayZ with modding. Writing scripts or anything. It's a lot easier in Reforger because you can write script components and just attach them to the prefabs where in DayZ you have to script all that too

It's just a lot more convenient and easier in Reforger

Map making tools suck, I like using object builder better than blender though it sucks lmao, it's just easier to use

[jade current]

Oh yeah. I liked scripting in DayZ though it is easier in Reforger. Making maps for all prior games sucked. Object Builder is complete trash. Everything I made for DayZ I made in Blender, even exported to p3d, only needed to open in OB and save to have the correct p3d version.

[wheat grove]

Yea I did all the Geo's and weights and stuff in OB. It definitely is complete trash but it having a million less features made it simpler and easier to use. Blender has so mu h going on and even just the basic controls are horrible and not intuitive at all. I liked scripting in DayZ also, it was fun, just a lot easier in Reforger. Although I understand DayZ's code and systems more because they offered more

[tough tulip]

is there a way to change the graphics quality of the world editor viewport?

[wheat grove]

I never tried as it seems to be set in low already

Maybe where you can change your camera speed and that

[frigid plinth]

I find this false sense someone else has editted the map.. removing a trench system.. meaning he editted the terrain

[frigid plinth]

Currently still talking with the dude that did edit the map... Even tho he was not owner of map.. Just a lot of people here dunno what they talking about it seems.. I could be wrong.. But the guy for sure editted terrain

the only thing I can think of that may work that I was told... Was when I use this plugin the map owner gave me... to go into his folders.. find everything I'm trying to edit, extract it or something.. Then import the extracted files into my world... I just need this guy to help me a little more... He will! just needs some free time

Not to sound like dick or anything btw.. just I believe I can if somneone else has indeed editted the terrain

[visual blaze]

My knowledge with plugins is limited ill admit that. It seems either there is an issue with how you installed the plugin, or the guy may have just given you a wrong version of the plugin. Those are the most likely explanations.

[frigid plinth]

Yeah It's gotta be something I'm doing wrong... The whole extracting the folders thing to whatever is where I'm stuck

[visual blaze]

im not really a plugin expert, but if you ask that guy to maybe explain you the process of how he got the plugin to work, or ask on #enfusion_terrain

[frigid plinth]

Yeah that's the thing.. the map owner, after a small conversation of me asking for help.. he just stopped responding like a dick head xD

Shouldn't say that bc he gave me plugin and all.. but still dick head for not wanting to help xD

[visual blaze]

that happened to me with a project because i asked a guy too many questions 😂 😭

[frigid plinth]

Lmfao sad thing is too I only asked like 3-5 questions.. Small ones too xD

[visual blaze]

yeah some people have very little patience

[frigid plinth]

But eventually while trying to figure this out.. I'm gonna be building my own war torn map

[visual blaze]

ask in the enfusion terrain channel

[visual blaze]

i would be happy to help, as terrain building is my main thing

[frigid plinth]

Covered with trenches.. Arty impacts, wrecked houses, cars, trash in the streets, underground bunkers ALL OF IT

[frigid plinth]

Add me up.. we can try to start working tmr or something

[visual blaze]

im part of a server that is planning on building some custom maps (we each have our own projects but are planning on some community stuff), ill add you there

🫡

[frigid plinth]

Sounds good my man!

[visual blaze]

also the current map im working on is a swedish map which will have most of the above, when it gets published in its first version sometime late summer, i can give you early access if you like 😅

[frigid plinth]

Can I have a sneak peek? Bc I plan on adding trenches like EVERYWHERE!!! lol same with everything else.. But will be heavier in some places... The main thing I really wanna focus on tho first is the Trenches.. Wanna make them as realistic as possible.. Bunkers.. Dugouts, Hiding holes, ETC

[visual blaze]

its early days, there is a teaser photo on the enfusion showroom

[frigid plinth]

Oh damn tressure hunt? xD

once i took the collision away it works fine , it was a base game xob with just flesh mat on it , nothing strange

but i cheesed it by adding a fake layer over it that counts as a collider that works perfect

anyone know how to remove items from being persistent in Enfusion Persistence Framework?

figured it out I think, override on ItemGameEntity_base

nevermind 🙂

[round gorge]

remove the component of the item 🤷‍♂️

[visual blaze]

you dont have an atmosphere.emat in your world by the looks of it, might need to add a time and weather entity just to allow you to change the daylight to make it easier to work on 😅

[proven tiger]

In world editor/workbench, is there a way to control Anti-aliasing ? didnt found something related to

[jade current]

Why use the framework if you don't want persistence?

[visual blaze]

you would have to change the properties of the PPE effects and go from there, im not sure exactly for anti-aliasing though

[proven tiger]

ah ok ! because i didnt found any settings unless FPS limit for now

[visual blaze]

are you building a terrain or just making a subscene?

[proven tiger]

Im on subscene , to check how made 3d assets reacts

[static anchor]

spawning a vehicle but it spawns with no physics, thus when I get into it, it won't move lol any ideas on how I can fix this?

[proven tiger]

but i noticed that the world editor is kind of without /light anti aliasing

[visual blaze]

is this on a terrain or subscene?

[static anchor]

subscene

[visual blaze]

gotcha do you also do blender or just testing it out?

[static anchor]

a script spawns the vehicle

[proven tiger]

yeah also blender

[visual blaze]

i see, make sure in the terrain that under layers the terrain box is checked, if not vehicles wont interact with the ground

[proven tiger]

but blender is anti-aliased and you have control about that, so thats not the same ( and since im using game textures, cant import them into blender )

[visual blaze]

it will be with the PPE effects not sure which one, potentially in the camera section you can adjust it

[static anchor]

Not sure I know what you mean by this. I spawn the vehicle .2 units in the air and I expect it to drop to the ground, but instead it just floats there. Once I hop into it, it still floats

[visual blaze]

so the entity is not placed on the ground?

[static anchor]

correct, it spawns slighly in the air

[proven tiger]

will try to check, but my arland subscene is completely locked, so, dont know if its possible

[visual blaze]

you will either have to enable the snap to ground/ place with physics. Or as i said make sure the terrain box under the layers section of the terrain entity is ticked

[static anchor]

I did attempt to snap to ground, but still the vehicle would not drive. It just sits there and as I try to drive it breaks the engine etc

[visual blaze]

it has to be that the box for terrain is not ticked

[static anchor]

where do i tick it lol I can't seem to find what you mentioned

[visual blaze]

ive had exactly the same issue and that was the workaround

it is under the layers, ill send a screenshot

go terrain entity -> unsorted -> layers -> terrain box and tick it

[static anchor]

yes but that's the issue haha I spawn the vehicle in code/script

[visual blaze]

oh

[static anchor]

so I can't access those layers through UI lol

[visual blaze]

im not sure then, im not a scripter

[static anchor]

okay well thanks anyways haha

[visual blaze]

there is a way, not sure how, alternatively create your own map 😳

[proven tiger]

yeah 😅 , not an existencial issue for now, but, just wanted if somebody knows something about this

thx for help btw

[visual blaze]

me and some buddies have a server where we are in the process of potentially developing a custom map, and custom assets, i can invite you there are people on there who could help you 🫡

[proven tiger]

every knowledge is good to take for me 👍

[visual blaze]

cool ill invite you 👍

[proven tiger]

nice ! thx

[timid dirge]

How big a map can be created in the reforger?

[unborn inlet]

in theory? i think 256km^2, but better ask in #enfusion_terrain edit - 1024 (32x32)

[empty nexus]

theoretically at least 4096 but practically 1024 km2

[solemn valve]

Arent you just limited by +32k, -32k map bounds?

[empty nexus]

no, once the camera crosses a position somewhere around 30k x,z rendering starts to break

[solemn valve]

yeah thats what I mean

[empty nexus]

so it might just be a bug in render or occlusion culling, not actual engine limitation

[solemn valve]

theoretically you could set it so the bottom left of your map is at -32,000

[empty nexus]

negative coordinates dont work well due to other bugs, game master view doesnt go to negative coords for example

[solemn valve]

not that id advise it of course

[empty nexus]

otherwise negative 32k to positive 32k would actually be advisable to reduce floating point errors

[solemn valve]

I thought thered be some sort of catch 😆

[visual blaze]

the main catch is it will take like 2 years to map a good looking map with the size of 32 by 32

[solemn valve]

Oh of course, I am the biggest advocator for start small haha

Just sometimes you want a giant low quality map to fly around

[visual blaze]

same 😂 , me and some people are planning on working on a map together and even for the 6 of us it'll only be 20 by 20

[visual blaze]

agreed

[earnest sundial]

If you're using blender, did you apply transforms on your meshes before export?

[heady patio]

DEAR FELLOW MODDERS PLEASE DONT SAVE UR SCENE IN EXPERIMENTAL VERSION!!! this will potentially nuke ur prefabs!!!

there were reworks which break how prefabs are loaded until u manualy remove problematic attributes

[visual blaze]

this should be somewhat obvious......

[heady patio]

but it isnt and thats the efin problem... workbench craps the bed when something like this happens and if u dont have some form of a backup then u might loose SHIT LOAD of work

[visual blaze]

, its a good habit to take it easy with the experimental version, as there are many bugs that might only appear when you start tweaking your prefabs, etc i agree more people need to be aware of that

[heady patio]

if u can spread the word to minimize the damage to ur work

[visual blaze]

100%, but most people have back ups etc and arent too bothered unless its like 5 hours down the drain 😅

[heady patio]

to give some perspective heres what would happen if i would save just a turret of RHS 2S1 before and after

[visual blaze]

😳

[heady patio]

this case is tied to doors rework but its possible that other prefabs that arent vehicles/turrets might have other issues

[visual blaze]

im not a scripter, more a terrain/asset guy. But i feel your pain

[heady patio]

it doesnt affect us as we have backups and we know about this but this is a warning is for others

[pallid knot]

This already happened a couple times in the past.
There was one time where some terrain makers didn't have backups and lost all their work

The most important thing is that everyone knows they should make backups

[heady patio]

heres a hesty 'tutorial' how u can 'fix' this issue

@unborn inlet maybe pin this

[unborn inlet]

i did, but pretty sure +60% never looked over pins anyways

[heady patio]

ik, but thank you brother

[unborn inlet]

@grave prairie / @nova delta can you help the modding brothers out before prefabs gets nuked

Im adding a prefab to GameMaster ( a military towers with doors, hatches, and windows ) , everything works well until i try to change the prefab position as a user would do, doors, hatches and windows are not following the parent , every of this entities that are not following have a socket point, does somebody have an idea about what i missed ? thx

[wheat grove]

An Arma 3 tower 😛

[remote bronze]

Well they do not seem to be part of the prefab. They should be added via the slot manager on the main tower entity or all put into the same mesh and only animated through procedual anim setup

[prime wyvern]

Hey guys how difficult would it be make 'non lethal ar rounds' bit like rubber slugs for for an ar

[visual blaze]

do you have any experience modding weapons is my first question

[prime wyvern]

None at all

[visual blaze]

right to start of with, you "might" be able to borrow someone's ar model if you ask for their permission and they give it, what you are asking is to create a custom projectile, i'am primarily a terrain maker and sometimes tinker with models, my best advice is looking at tutorials on making models with the enfusion plugin for blender 3.6 i think it is, and look at the forums, most people on here wont teach you things step by step, most of that will have to be done by yourself. It will be a long.... process so its not somethign to be done in a day.

do you have any experience with the enfusion tools and blender/ some other modelling software?

[prime wyvern]

Blender I'm familiar with

[visual blaze]

right, you either have to make your own custom model or find someone willing to allow you to use theirs, and then for the projectile part i have no clue, but i assume there are guides on it somewhere

best of luck 🫡 might be worth to ask in #enfusion_model

[prime wyvern]

Sound nice one

[jade current]

You don't need a custom model for a weapon to shoot non lethal ammo

[visual blaze]

it was more he wanted an AR type non lethal gun, just if he cant find a model to use he might need to make one 🥲

[jade current]

There's already 2 AR type guns in the vanilla game.

[visual blaze]

true, but if he wants one that looks customised etc, i get your point though

[earnest sundial]

Great starter project, you could recolour the in-game M4 too

Following this tutorial first will show you basically everything you need: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Weapon_Modding

[visual blaze]

i did not know that document existed, i might actually get into weapon?vehicle creation instead of just making maps 😅

[split sierra]

Hey Guys, do you think its possible to have 2 driver seat variant at once: eitcher you can look outside (like the pic) or be inside the tank. is that possible ?

[bleak spear]

I dont see why not, you can do a lot with the engine if you know to script and in this case make some animations

[split sierra]

i cant script really, thats my problem

[long copper]

Where would I add my vehicle entity catalog to the vehicle depot?

[molten granite]

I think maybe SpaceStriders or RHS's vehicles might have this, maybe you could ask them

[unborn inlet]

yes way. You cannot take money for making mods.

[drifting bridge]

Completely new to modding and figured I’d start cause it’s something that interests me. After looking through YouTube for some basic starter tutorials, I’ve come up short on finding things that lead you in the right direction on starting. I’m mainly looking to do cosmetic mods, like patches, uniforms, headgear, etc. anyone have any suggestions on good YouTubers to follow or forums to look at?

[earnest sundial]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Category:Arma_Reforger/Modding/Tutorials/Assets

[drifting bridge]

Thank you

[proven tiger]

Thanks for the answer, Im noticing some game asset use the SlotManager Component (but what about Pivot Point/ door component animation + Bone pivot ID ? ) , so the hierarchy on the second image ( Metal Tower ) is enough for working /mapping in enfusion, but not enough for GameMaster ? Is the prop creation tutorial on bohema wiki pertinent for what im trying to do ?

[remote bronze]

You should be using slot manager. the pivot is for when you want to assemble it with bones. otherwise you can manually place them as well. child slot entities are independent more or less, so you can animate those prefabs etc. Yes it is enough for mapping because there you move the assortment of objects in the prefab. at runtime this does not matter, there it matters what is linked in hierarchy and what is not. slot manager does that for you. alternatively hierarchy component on parent and child entities of the prefab, but its not ideal.

Have a look at existing building prefabs like a little garden shed etc. those have doors. there you see the proper setup and how easy it is

[proven tiger]

Thanks a lot for that infos, will try to deal with it

[proven tiger]

Sorry, but not finding any Shed asset that use the SlotManagerComponent, they have all the same setup as my Arma tower does, do you ave any name reference of one of those asset ?

[remote bronze]

oh well maybe sheds don't. normal houses will do.

[warm mirage]

is there backend issues again ?
having htis for the last 5 min now
BACKEND (E): Http Error (TIMEOUT)
BACKEND (E): [RestApi] ID:[15] TYPE:[EBREQ_WORKSHOP_CreateAssetUpload] Timeout
DEFAULT (E): Uploading failed! Reason: "TIMEOUT"

[proven tiger]

Sorry again , but didnt find any houses that use the SlotManager Component, or maybe we are not talking about the same thing , might misunderstand the concept, finally found the Green House that you talked about at first, it is present in the gamemaster, working nicely in it, and have the exact same setup as my tower

doors arent staying static on that greenhouse, they follow the prefab parent nicely when you replace it on the gamemaster mode

here is the same doorcomponent i placed on the tower

[remote bronze]

Both can work, what you are likely missing is the hierarchy component

but i would recommend using slots regardless for things like destruction later on

put the hierachy component on the parent and all child entitiy prefabs

[proven tiger]

Hierarchy present on every Prefab entities + parent

Tried to relaunch enfusion an re-test too, am I facing a bug ?

[proven tiger]

will learn how to do this for sure in the future, if I find some documentation

[remote bronze]

just add a slot manager onto the main tower. and add your things there. if you are already using bones the conversion takes you a few minutes

the rest should have worked in my mind, but maybe i am missing something. not a prefab maker

[proven tiger]

using bones just for the hatches, but I can do it for the doors too

[proven tiger]

got you, I will dig more into it, thanks

[remote bronze]

you can reposition them using offsets again also. its really easy.

[molten granite]

Vehicles show how SlotManager works pretty nicely

[proven tiger]

good to know !

[hushed coral]

Hello, i am attempting to create a new faction using prefabs from packs like RHS. The issue im having is that not every variant of clothing styles is available. For example i may be able to put on a black shirt but not its green variant. I am wondering if this has to do with the fact that i havent created entity catalogs or inventories for this faction yet?

[hushed coral]

i noticed that this camo pattern is the same as the base prefab for the pants, maybe i need to select the base and then select a variant?

hmm when launching the in editor game they appear correct

eh still having this issue with certain items for some reason

[hushed coral]

had to restart editor after editing prefabs possible, re opening project completely

[split sierra]

Hey guys, is this comfortable enough ?

[turbid arch]

Very nice what this for it looks good

[remote bronze]

Unrealistic has too much space to putt stuff. Even tall people could fit in there. Make it all 30% smaller

[turbid arch]

I’d say 50%

[stray moat]

Hey so I restarted my PC and forgot to back up something I was working on in the workshop, Is there anyway to get this file back?

[proven tiger]

When youre editing a prefab, and you break prefab instance, is to possible to "Remake" the prefab instance ? to avoid saving it again on a new name, delete the old, and rename the new one with the old name ? ( I hope im understandable 😅 )

[smoky sinew]

is there a quick way to count all objects (meshes etc)\ placed into a world?

[spice bear]

Is it possible to show always specific polyline and splines when not using the vector tool? Maybe I am just blind, but would help me a lot

[remote bronze]

Just to make sure, that was sarcasm. Looks good 🙂

[smoky sinew]

Its great!!!

[heady patio]

iirc u need to do retextures differently - instead of inheriting from a prefab and just swapping the material u need to spawn the xob in the world and change it the material then save that as a prefab and use that prefab as a worn model we do that in rhs for some stuff f.e. PVS31

[craggy vortex]

@remote bronze are they going to improve the documentation at all? Cause its really sparse and lacking and leaves a lot to guessing and trial and error?

[remote bronze]

For what specifically? We can not document everything in the same level of detail. So knowing what is not understood by inline docs and what is availbe on the wiki helps us to prioritze what to document next

[proven tiger]

How do you make a Land Contact for a mesh in blender ?

[round gorge]

Land Contacts
defined as dummy/null object, with prefix LC_
used for snapping object to the ground and at least 2 Land Contact points must be created for this to work
object will be snapped and skewed following the ground slope under the object

fbx import on the wiki

[proven tiger]

Thx Ben 🙏 😅

[round gorge]

cant recommend for your tower tho, if the land is not straight the tower will also be tilted

[proven tiger]

It was for another little mesh that is a part of the Tower, enfusion tend to put your aerial meshes on the floor when importing

just wanted to make some tests with that

[empty vessel]

I am just starting to look into creating my own mods by purchasing a model off a website (eg csgtrader). For example lets say I was to purchase this Alien Mutant Creature (I chose this model because it had a large list of features that it came with)(https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models/character/fantasy-character/mutant-alien-creature) which comes with 3D Modeling, Low-poly Modeling, Lighting, Rendering, Rigging, Skinning, UV Mapping, Texturing, Shaders and Animations with 3D Model formats in Blender. What else would I need before I look at importing into Reforger.

Is there a list of requirements for what a mod needs before it will work in Reforger? I understand it will depend on the mod. And I know there is so much more to modding, but you have to start somewhere. Would you recommend a certain mod to start with? Maybe a weapon, vehicle etc?

#enfusion_model message

Don’t have a clue about anything to do with models but from other aspects, I learned quite a good bit from the Bohemia docs so might be worth checking them out if you haven’t already.

[wheat jay]

Any clue what causes the log to spam this non stop?

[nova delta]

Some systems are being added. But not every single system will be there and specially not things that can be explained in doxygen docs within the script files.

Like these brand new articles
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Damage_Effects
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Damage_System

[keen path]

The flowchart is really helpful!
Thanks, good work!

The respawn system update could also use one of these flowcharts, it gets a bit spaghetti

having links to these in the damage system files would be cool too 😄

[hollow flame]

you have an AI spawner outside of the map bounds

[empty nexus]

thats interesting, sometimes when GMing I see AI at 0 coords

[long copper]

Hoping someone here might have some experience with this.

Currently, we're using GitHub for general housekeeping of our mod and so forth. What would happen if myself and another person were making changes, committed them and then merged?

Would the mod go corrupt or, as long as we are editing different things, it wouldn't matter so much?

[empty nexus]

if github cant merge it automatically then you'll get to do the thing every developer loves which is solving merge conflicts

[silk swan]

The push/merge fails and you'll have to resolve the conflict before it can be committed again.

But even when there's no merge conflict, it's still not a guarantee that it doesn't break stuff.
So I suggest to use gitflow (or similar)

[craggy vortex]

A request for you -> As an example if I wanted to get an idea of how to dynamically spawn a object in a given radius of something, there was a fairly basic guide for it or example. In reforger there's significantly more steps involved and just general knowledge not really in the know. The logical thing is to pick apart what has already been done in the past which in a given example would be directly from them but when you go to look at how they do it, it just seems like nonsense.

This possible to get?

I think basic core systems needs more documentation like the spawning system, the ai creation system and the ability to spawn items dynamically.

[nova delta]

Systems documentation has priority at the moment, like the ones I linked

[long copper]

Understood, I will implement gitflow, thank you.

[wheat jay]

Ah I see thank you

[long copper]

Where is the best place to give feedback on the documentation?

[round gorge]

is this known? that´s a base game character. Wonder how this can slip

or is it a local problem I didnt think of

[earnest sundial]

body and head models are separate meshes and clearly there's some small seam where skeleton deformation means the parts move apart slightly -if they weren't separate meshes you wouldn't see the seam

the majority of gameplay does not happen zooming in on topless dudes so I don't think this has been a pressing issue

[round gorge]

I get that but you can easily see this even without zooming. I was just wondering ^^

[stark acorn]

is that from inventory menu?

[round gorge]

yes

[stark acorn]

I think some internal fix is on way - some months ago inventory started to use LOD1 instead of LOD0 so that issue became more obvious with naked characters

[round gorge]

good to hear, appreciate it

[timid island]

Can anyone help with changing factions name and flag to custom name and flag jpg?

[long copper]

So, I may be wrong here but I think it only supports using a png?

Are you wanting to make a custom faction or, are you wanting to change the name of a pre-existing faction?

[timid island]

i would like to have a custom faction name and flag. probably also a default loadout. more specifically middle east factions

[long copper]

I would highly recommend reading over the faction tutorial from Bohemia, it honestly is probably one of their best tutorials and helped me a lot getting my factions set up and, if you need any help, you can always ask around as many people here can.

https://community.bohemia.net/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Faction_Creation

[timid island]

TY will do

[visual blaze]

Can someone help me with an error/bug the editor keeps throwing up, for some reason on one of my terrains every time i try to play it the engine crashes immediately and throws up errors regarding the Zlib, i'm extremely confused, the only thing i can find about it on the BI forums is switching between DX11 and DX12 for my drivers, but that doesn't work. Im curious if anyone has had a similar issue and found a work around.

it works fine on my other terrains but one of them has this error

[timid island]

Anyone knows how to disable the initial vics that spawn in when a conflict game starts?

And how to force faction to a MOB? i see that default behavior of conflict is to rotate between the faction's MOBS

[split sierra]

Hey guys, How do i make a cloth obejcts on a Vehicle Move (Straps, or Flag) ?

Like fly in wind when speeding

[empty nexus]

you'll need to get yourself hired on the engine team and develop some form of dynamic cloth simulation

[split sierra]

so there is none ?

[empty nexus]

not that I know of

[jade current]

No, not dynamically. There is no cloth simulation.

[worn tangle]

your telling me we have been seeing low definition half-naked dudes in our inventories this whole time?

[severe kite]

quick question

nvm, LOL

[stark acorn]

It was changed in 1.1 so before inventory was using lod0 which longer loading times

But it shouldn't be 24mm of rha afair even now. Metal maybe yes

[severe kite]

so i made a particle effect, is it fine to post it here or do i have to limit myself to the #enfusion_particles channel?

[empty nexus]

maybe https://discord.com/channels/105462288051380224/976591280786276362 ?

[severe kite]

is there a way i can copy the content of a particle effect without changing the GUID?

i love development tools!

huh, it happens when i try to add color to a particle and is repeatable

weird

[empty nexus]

welcome to reforger modding

[severe kite]

chat

im going insane

[severe kite]

i mean i think this looks good all things considered
arma reforgers stock particle hit effects are all so underwhelming, it looks as if you are shooting toy guns

[empty nexus]

idk when I shot a rifle at a grassy field it didn't make tiny mushroom clouds

[severe kite]

shut up i took a bit of creative liberty :p

i just think it looks cooler and like.. actually cool instead of the tiniest puff

[empty nexus]

I guess the art direction wants realism, there are a bunch of mods out already that make the game more michael bay

there are even mods out that make the realism more "realistic"

[severe kite]

ok but.. in real life there arent tiny puffs lol?

i guess this is better i took a bit of your mushroom cloud feedback thing

(i literally just made the cloud smaller

i just think this looks better than the invisible effect (it gets hidden behind blades of grass

[empty nexus]

what ammo is that

[empty nexus]

7.62

[smoky sinew]

But which 7.62

[severe kite]

7.62x25 tokarev

[empty nexus]

does it matter? I dont see any smoke

yours are cooler to look at

[severe kite]

i made it a bit less large tho, i want like a good middle ground where its a bit larger than real life but also not gigantic

[empty nexus]

I'm a realism guy so I am not the right person for exaggerated effects but it feels a bit slow and there is some white/gray smoke in there that looks a little out of place? that grey smoke puff would be perfect on dirt surfaces as seen here https://youtu.be/TntTkJWIhek?t=6

[severe kite]

okay thank you, ill get rid of the white puff

[empty nexus]

there are terrain surfaces like "beach grass" that could use some of the puffs as well, I wonder if there is a separate physics surface for wet materials, otherwise shooting wet dirt will blow smoke lol

immersion would be very ruined

[severe kite]

truly

grrr the individual grains of sand arent colliding with the ground what is this trash grrr

[empty nexus]

to be fair you can add physics to the debris but I would recommend not to for performance reasons

[severe kite]

what do you think squads effects are like? just curious

[empty nexus]

I dont play squad, maybe you could give me some videos

[severe kite]

im honestly struggling to find a video lol

[empty nexus]

if I remember correctly Squad had maps in the middle eastern climate? smokey bullet hits would make sense there as the landscape is drier and dustier

on Everon not so much

[severe kite]

it also has green maps!!! its not just limited to sandy desert lol

[hollow flame]

is there something wrong with the Eden_AssetImage generator for helicopters? no matter which vehicle I try, including default vanilla ones they dont appear in the image. This is the base game UH1H for example.

I guess this is the issue? the camera is directly on top of the vehicle spawner

[jade current]

Is it a known issue that when a BaseGameTriggerEntity has its activation type set to First Change it actually triggers on the first and second change?

Yall know why would WASD keys sometimes don't work on the map editor?

[smoky sinew]

I miss the mod where it had all the humvees and trucks with scrap metal on them

There was a humvee with a searchlight on the turret it was so COOL

the turret was armoured with scrap metal too it would be perfect for dead everon or fallout 2281 i think its called

[prime wyvern]

can anyone give me a hand trying to increase speed on a model i have what settings do i need to mess with?

[stark acorn]

try to reducing polycount - it will be converted faster

[coarse bluff]

How do I increase my allocation limit to the workbench? I get an error saying the Requested > Allocation Limit even though I have 128gigs of memory.

[empty nexus]

I had the same question a while back but did not get an answer

[prime wyvern]

No I meant speed of vehichles

[pallid knot]

Its probably not an issue that the allocation limit can solve
Usually these are bugs where something tries to allocate for example 500 gigabytes of memory due to an error misscalculating the size of something

[coarse bluff]

So when I try to import heightmap of 32.512kmx x 32.512km it always throws this error (though I can ignore it)

[mortal forge]

will there be AI flying in arma Reforger?

[strange wigeon]

stop crossposting #reforger_discussion message

[coarse bluff]

Has the BI team ever stated that they will be making the world editor / workbench use the available processing power to import satmaps on very large terrain by a moderately powerful pc? Whenever I try to import a satmap, it just crashes the application (if I am lucky) or the whole PC (which is common). I have only 16 gigs of VRAM and it seems that the engine needs more for satmap. I hope this will be addressed.

[neon thistle]

hello there, im quite new and i have a question that i never achieved to gather any actual info :
how can i unlock the eden.ent ? i know i can't edit the base file, i watched videos from 2 years ago showing a trick of "saving as" but it doesnt work anymore...

is this still possible to do it ?
i wanted to delete some assets to do some mapping, but it looks like i can only "hide" it like on arma 3

[bleak spear]

32 x 32 is the size limit. really you should be going for no bigger than 30 with the game.

[fallen hinge]

Ok so I don't know anything about modding on this game. How hard would it be to mod in individual volume settings for the radio channels, and set them to be left or right mono? My thoughts are to have one set of comms in my left ear and another in my right ear and also be able to lower volume on lower priority channels. For context I play as a CCT, I run no less than 4 radio channels and sometimes as high as 6 or 7 depending on mission. I'd like a way to put all asset channels in one ear cup and all ground channels in another and then adjust their volume so my more pressing channels would be louder.

[remote bronze]

I can tell you that for game dev 16gb is not enough anymore. I have to regulary close all other applications on my pc to run workbench + heavy debugging. 32 GB minimum if you make a new system. I'll be upgrading as soon as well.

[coarse bluff]

I've got 128 gigs of memory, I'm specifically talking about graphics ram (VRAM) of 16 gigs from 4080 and the satmap import still crashes to desktop. I'll try to find the absolute maximum size of a terrain and satmap import I can do with this config. But yea these days 32 gigs are seeming to be the required norm

[remote bronze]

I misunderstood. Not sure how exactly VRAM might be related to sat-map import

[coarse bluff]

This is the crash report - and I'm assuming that its related to the GPU based on the m_iHighestSrvGpuDescUsed error infor.

Hey guys, is there a way to make decals for arma vehicles (in my case for S105, S1203) and i dont mean retextring them or using the existing decals. Because they are not fitting for my intend. Is there a way ?

[coarse bluff]

Ok so (apart from raising a ticket) I managed to successfully import the satmap even with this crash - Took me 15 minutes of clicking 'retry'

[smoky sinew]

Wellll, i guess you could model and texture a decal and attach it to a modified version of the car... but retexturing would probably be more straightforward.

[wicked lagoon]

Is there a signal I can use for weapon firing in a procedural animation?

[twilit barn]

Is there an experimental world editor bug that wont let you add prefabs to an existing layer? I can only add children to existing prefabs it seems? I did not have this issue yesterday before the 1.2.0.38 update.

[twilit barn]

I can only seem to add new prefabs in the text file of the layer. 🤷‍♂️ Am I trippin or is there a legit bug here?

I can copy/paste a prefab, but I can not drag a prefab from the resource browser to a layer in the world (active or not).

if anyone could point me in the right direction, so i have a custom conflict mode i made, and all i want to do is after the player capture a point, it triggers more ai to spawn and move onto the base that was just captured, anyone have a clue or maybe a page i could read that go shoot me in the right direction

[dreamy pagoda]

Who is

[smoky sinew]

kaiser wilhelm the second was the guy who lead the germans in world war 1

[twilit barn]

Has nobody else run into this world editor problem in experimental?

[neon thistle]

so no one has an answer to something that simple ?

[keen rune]

If it were simple you would have gotten an answer. It is not simple, you can not unlock the base game files or mods which you dont have the source to. One way would be to write a script that deletes the entity from a given position, or you may be able to copy everything into a new world and modify it there. There isnt really a “best way” I think there have been quite a few different ways. If you load up a few servers some of them have custom modified versions of the base worlds, you may be able to gain insight from them

[neon thistle]

why bohemia removed the ability to delete vanilla props ?
it was possible at the release
making a script just to modify the map is a bit too much
i mean why blocking people to do it while most of arma 3 community game mode wouldnt have existed if it wasnt possible

[neon thistle]

i tried copying it to a new world like i saw in some videos from 2 years ago
it is not possible anymore

[keen rune]

Idk make a feedback ticket

[twilit barn]

#enfusion_generic message

it is still possible, you just have to jump through a couple hoops first.

[unborn inlet]

delete vanilla props from what? vanilla maps?

[neon thistle]

yeah, like just a building or two to map something else on the spot

i will try that then, if it still works thanks in advance

[unborn inlet]

afaik you cannot modify vanilla terrains (and to my knowledge you are not allowed to do that anyways). You can modify the scenarious files IRC

[neon thistle]

i don't want to modify the terrain, only the props and various assets on the vanilla map, just to map something else like a military camp where there is a forest for example

[twilit barn]

I believe in your case (removing/editing buildings), you would need to create a sub-scene of the empty world.

[jade current]

And paste everything from the non-empty world, deleting anything you don't want. ^^

[unborn inlet]

this ^

[jade current]

There's a distinct order of operations for you to be able to do it though.

I assume you are talking about the World Editor problem nobody else seemed to have?
If that's the case, find out how to reproduce it and put it on the feedback tracker.

You can't really expect something to "be fixed next week" if you don't even properly report the problem.

[twilit barn]

yeah I guess I can consider this confirmation that Im the only one having the problem... Thanks for responding to my post!

[frigid plinth]

Small tutorial video will be going up within the next 2-3 days on how to edit maps with locked entities... Whether this is supposed to be a future or not, should be explained and posted anyway so that no issues are created in the future.. Please do stay in touch, Or DM me if your needing to know how to do this ASAP

This is on Arma Reforger Tools by the way

[unborn inlet]

yes, i play on 49 inch

[unique crest]

Heck yea thank you

Should 3060 trio 12gbvram be enought for it?

[unborn inlet]

i am on ryzen 9 5950x, nvme ssd, 128gb ram + rtx3080, and reforger runs at about 60 on high - ultra on native resolution 5120x1440. it runs about 100fps on my secondary 2560x1440 monitor, so the 3060 might work on lower quality at native resolution. There are no supersampling like dlss on newer fsr, so there is that.

[unique crest]

Yeah i was thinking to not use full supported resolution but lower one to run it smoothly

Pretty beaffy pc you have, i hace r7 5800x 64gb ram and that 3060

[empty nexus]

if you want to play modded youll need at least rtx 4080 for that resolution

[unique crest]

Well yeah i guess, for now woth this i have around 80-100 on fullhd on modded servers

[unborn inlet]

i plan building a new one once the rtx 5080/90 and new 9950x gets released later this year

[unique crest]

You that guy from meme that cleans his tears with money 😂

When im able to get something better i will but for now just this monitor

i use it for work in 90% of the time, where time = money, and i kind of build a new one every 3 years on my company’s expense

anyways, we continue it on #hardware_vs_arma

[tacit stump]

How to change LODs for mesh object with altered material (I'm using MatPBRCamo to change color of the cap)?

[empty nexus]

uhhh maybe its using a different material for the distant lod

[tacit stump]

yeah, it's the same .xob for both original and new item

but it seems to be working for modded weapon from official sample just fine (they both use the same .xob but different materials just like I'm doing it)

[jade current]

Change whichever material is being used for that lod....

If that does nothing then that lod may use vertex painting. Which means there's nothing you can do to change it.

[tacit stump]

yeah, seems that LODs are baked into .xob (object?) file thus it comes with the model and it couldn't be really overriden
but as I stated before, AK-74 from official weapon sample mod has the same material config and yet it's LOD is affected by camo material, so maybe it' s a bug/oversight on this particular object

[empty nexus]

maybe its vertex painting

[static anchor]

Is it possible to see which entity types etc are most resource expensive?

in terms of cpu/ram usage

[jade current]

No one is telling you to override a lod. Of course they're baked into the xob, that's how lods work... We've both either directly told you or hinted at the fact that you should override the MATERIAL used by that lod. Not sure if this is a language barrier or you're just confused as to what a lod is.

[tacit stump]

It was the first thing I did (how otherwise I would change the cap part of morphine injector?), I just wanted to know if there's any way to change LODs too, and I got the answer that it's essentially baked into source model, that's it

[jade current]

Oh, I misunderstood. You can't override lods, only their materials. Each lod can have its own materials if that's how the model was created. It was a shot in the dark weather or not that lod had a separate material. But if you overwrote it and it didn't change then they're are colors baked into that lod via vertex painting.

[rain phoenix]

It does work. It picks from this color palette .emat, and if you make a custom one with 64x64 pixels and the correct colors where the UV islands sit and then replace it in the prefab it will actually turn yellow at a distance as well.

[tacit stump]

oh, didn't know that!
thank you for solution!

[rain phoenix]

Neither did I, but it worked

If it fails to import this 64x64 image as .png, try a .jpg, that ended up working

[tacit stump]

it worked for me too, thank you again!
I guess two color pallet is big so I don't need to specify specific color tile 🙂

[rain phoenix]

Yeah normally you would have to place the colors wherever the UV islands sit, you can find this out in if you dive deeper into the meshes tab in .xob files. This works though.

No problem!

[jade current]

Yeah, you could have looked to see which material was used for that lod and overwrote it like bacon and I both suggested. Lol

[dense kayak]

Guys, a quick question: I accidentally locked the map layer and can't unlock it. Does anyone know how to unlock it?

[twilit barn]

If you're the author, rt click on default layer, unlock. Profit!

[jade current]

but he's not, I am

Oh wait, Bohimia Interactive made Eden....

[twilit barn]

RIP

But for real, there is a way to unlock the default scenarios if you search the discord. I know I've explained it many times.

[jade current]

You've explained how to make a "version" of their maps from what i've seen. Not actually unlock theirs, correct?

[twilit barn]

Well to be a bit more clear, you can't unlock the empty Everon terrain, but you can create a sub scene of the empty Everon. Then copy over layers from the Everon with buildings, or the Everon with conflict mode, or the Everon with GM mode, or the Everon with CombatOps. Or for example my Everon scenario, and copy all the layers from that and make whatever changes you want to for your own version.

Thats what I did with the vanilla conflict Everon to make my own version which was approved by Geez as a valid method of doing so.

I got real worried when the update came out that locked layers of the vanilla scenarios so I submitted a private ticket to make sure what I was doing was legit.

Back to the pic posted above, I have no idea which version of Everon he's working with, could be one of a few possibilities. But probably not his own, seems like a vanilla one to me. If it is his own, I don't think he's doing it the right way. Any sub-scene you create will contain the base Everon and a default layer he's showing above, which can not be unlocked, you can only make edits and save in your own subscene below the base default layer.

The version I was using was the experimental tool. I switched to the experimental version because I couldn't make changes with the vanilla version, but it didn't make any difference.

[charred wraith]

anyon can help me with spawn setup really quick? having issues

[dense kayak]

Or maybe I'm just really dumb and it's the easiest thing to do. Hahaha

[twilit barn]

no its not really easy TBH, but here is a basic rundown no how to do it for Arland for example: #enfusion_generic message

I need to make a quick video on how to do this but I have so much other stuff going on its hard to find the time.

[dense kayak]

I think I kind of understand how to do it, but anyway, thank you very much for the help. I will give it a try.

[misty glade]

hello does anyone know a ww2 server for arma reforger??

[charred wraith]

Building one now

[smoky sinew]

Not quite sure where to put this: Ive duplicated the vanilla S105 and played around with the stats a bit, increased power, added a fifth gear and all that jazz...
When I spawn or delete it in game master, it eats up wildly inconsistent chunks of the percentage pool displayed on the bottom right. Vanilla vehicles all make up 2% each, with my modded vehicle its different everytime i hover my mouse over it. Even better: When I delete the modded s105, the freed up percentage is often way higher than what the spawn percentage was, getting the % into the minus.

I'm using default weather and lighting, can someone explain why the heck it looks fine during world editing but once I hit play it looks like this https://i.imgur.com/oPP24SC.png (really dark instead of normal bright)

Ah I had to set HDR brightness settings, nvm

[hollow gyro]

Hi guys
Enfusion seems to use Hermite cubic splines for its splines.

When the user doesn't modifiy the tangents, there are hidden default values (hidden because tangents data are empty in the layer).

Does anybody have an idea of what are these default values (I'm a noob in mathematics 🥹)

PS : last info needed before I'm able to finish a python script that convert Enfusion Splines to svg (with Hermite cubic splines to Bézier curve conversion)

[hollow gyro]

@remote bronze if I dare ?

[bright sable]

Several people have asked about this topic before, I think it would be helpful if we could get some info from BI here.

[frigid plinth]

Would anyone be interested in helping me or teaching me how to make custom patches on ARMA Reforger tools?

[nova delta]

Which splines are you talking about?

[empty nexus]

Theres only one spline tool

[hollow gyro]

As @empty nexus says...

svg file :

It's ok, but not if there are "default" tangents

[hollow gyro]

And it needs more testing because the script seems to have problems when the tangent is parallel (so overlap) with the segment

(oh, I forgot to multiply the anchor points coordinates with the surface map resolution !)

[hollow gyro]

Found the first bug : the InTangent and OutTangent were inverted

[nova delta]

There are scripted spline stuff

That is why I asked

SplineShapeEntity

And some Math3D class stuff

[hollow gyro]

Thank you for your answer. But it doesn't tell me what default values are used for the in and out tangents when the user doesn't modify them 😉. I can try to guess it, but it will be a painful process.

[nova delta]

I was asking for me to know what you were referring to as you did not even say beforehand, just mentioned splines

[hollow gyro]

Yes, sure ! Don't think I'm suffisant. My Enfusion knowledge keeps growing, but I'm still a sort of beginner 😉

As you can see, I'm close to having full functionality to export splines to svg (and vice versa). It's a shame not to have this latest information. Exporting splines to an external format like svg and importing from svg is a very important feature for many use cases.

[nova delta]

We have a SVG exporter in world editor

[hollow gyro]

As far as I know, only for polylines. Correct me if I'm wrong

[nova delta]

Seems to be for everything

SCR_GeoSVGExporter

[hollow gyro]

Oh ! Is it a scripted feature ?

[nova delta]

Yes

[hollow gyro]

Great news ! I have to learn how to use it, then.

I don't know ES at all 😉

However, it seems a promising start. Thank you, @nova delta

[proven tiger]

I need help with a strange Issue, i made a building mod, placeable in GameMaster, but now AI cant no more move, is this a known problem maybe ?

Everything worked fine until i added the mod on gamemaster

[proven tiger]

SCRIPT (W): Cannot initiate placing of prefab @"{FFF9518F73279473}PrefabsEditable/Auto/AI/Waypoints/E_AIWaypoint_Move.et", it's not registered in placeable entities!

looks like i have something missing

[frigid plinth]

HEY GUYS PRETTY NEW TO MODDING AND WAS WONDERING HOW I COULD MAKE CUSTOM PATCHES FOR HELMETS AND SUCH... ALSO SOME CUSTOM HELMETS, CLOTHINGS, AND MORE.... IF ANYONE COULD PLEASE GIVE SOME ADIVICE OR EVEN TECH ME A BIT THAT WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED

[dense kayak]

Hey guys, how's it going? Does anyone have any idea how to use these custom tracks from the experimental Enfusion version, specifically the attach to slot and vehicle?

[charred wraith]

anyone know how to create damage radius? in that zone you get damaged

[charred wraith]

hello I am currently making a mpa and need a small team to help. I will be paying, but my budget isnt huge. Looking for some guys, just msg me.

[limpid cloak]

when i run reforger server on my fresh win11 machine with brand new parts the server uses 30% of cpu at idle with no players. i run the server on my current workstation machine and the same exact setup uses only 5% cpu

a week ago it was running on the exact same machine, but a different windows install. and only used 6% cpu at most

[bright sable]

#creators_recruiting
You're not allowed to pay people for Workbench work though, it's only for noncommercial usage.

[limpid cloak]

heres a timeline of events,
install win11 on server box, install reforger server. runs perfect and uses 6% of cpu,
i wanted to be able to use pterdactyl for managing the server so i installed linux.

i couldnt manage to get linux to work properly so i reinstall windows 11
now reforger server uses 30% cpu instead

[bright sable]

Nevermind, I misread the CPU thing

[limpid cloak]

i can run the server box side by side with my workstation here, same exact server files

server box uses 30% cpu, workstation uses 5%
server box has amd 7900x 64gb
workstation has amd 5800x 32gb

[charred wraith]

what does file data obsolete mean?

[charred wraith]

anyone?

nvm got it

[vital burrow]

Hey guys

New to the discord..just here looking for advie

[unborn inlet]

who is advie?

[vital burrow]

sorry...advice

im looking for advise

[unborn inlet]

....ok.

generally speaking if you are looking for advice you should also type what sort of advice you are looking for, and what it is in regards to

[severe kite]

yo! how would I open up a addon in read/write mode? can only load addons in read-only mode so am kinda bummed

i want to fix a mouse driving mod thats giving issues on experimental

[unborn inlet]

is it your own addon?

[severe kite]

no

[unborn inlet]

then you don’t

[severe kite]

thought this means im allowed to though...

[unborn inlet]

irrelevant. You can make a dependency (derivative in this context) mod if you so please, but you do not edit the original files. That mean inheriting from mod A in your own mod B

all mods you do not own are locked = you cannot edit other people’s files directly

[weak grove]

Why are the locked dependency's not encrypted or at least hashed? or should i not start this

[severe kite]

how

i just need it fixed so i can take a video, i have no plans to publically release it

[weak grove]

meaning don't copy it over to your own mod/dependency

[bright sable]

You can't safely encrypt it and also expect it to be decryptable for usage

[severe kite]

i didnt ask about any meaning

i was asking how to make a dependency/derivative mod 😭

[bright sable]

Add it as a dependency and use overrides

[severe kite]

im asking how 😭

[bright sable]

How to add a dependency? https://docs.google.com/document/d/19VrUpAId4UGjykBw1rTP375Q9l2udNIEHPhTzqEgrSc/edit#heading=h.u3a7stwn0sc5

[severe kite]

Alright thank you a bunch

wait

[bright sable]

If the broken mod has a script compilation error or something like that, overrides will not be enough. For most other things, it should be.

[severe kite]

Ahem AHEMm...

what would I do if it has script comp errors?

copy entire mod over to my addon > win (joke)

[bright sable]

Compilation error means you can't even start the game with it

[weak grove]

ahhh ask me tomorrow lmao hahahahhaha

[bright sable]

So not a regular script error, to be clear

[severe kite]

nope it wont compile game script module so ya ur rightey

[bright sable]

To my knowledge that's not fixable without editing the existing mod, since it's fundamentally broken

[severe kite]

sooooo, what do?

does it really matter what i do with the mod? as im not going to upload it, could I just basically redo the entire mod by copying everything over?

[bright sable]

Ask the author if they can either fix the compilation error or if you are allowed to reupload their files

[severe kite]

im saying i am not going/planning to reupload the mod

i just want a private fix for it i do not want to be putting this on the workshop

[paper lichen]

can have some help 🙂

[bright sable]

What you do on your own PC without publishing anything is in practice your own thing

[severe kite]

yea thats what im talking about

[bright sable]

But since it's APL-SA you might be allowed to reupload, ask the author

[severe kite]

ok first of all. How. i dont know them and i cant really contact them

[empty nexus]

even though the license allows redistributing remixed content, the editor does not have a way for you to copy a bunch of things like meshes

the right click -> transfer to function will not work here as well, the only way to create a copy of the asset would be to unpack it which is frowned upon

[severe kite]

its purely scripts though

[bright sable]

Then I guess you can just duplicate them without much manual work

[empty nexus]

with APL-SA you can copy pasta the scripts you need, just remember to attribute it (and release your content under the same license)

[severe kite]

if it would actually transfer the actual FILES instead of just create folders i would mybe evne be done

[weak grove]

i thought the same but @unborn inlet just said otherwise ?

[bright sable]

Open it as a dependency, duplicate all the files, remove dependency

[empty nexus]

best to wait for the upcoming clarification post then

[severe kite]

im trying but

[weak grove]

i posted the licence the other night and all hell broke lose lmao

[severe kite]

theres like 17 scripts and it would be massively tedious

[empty nexus]

we've been waiting for the clarification post for like 2 years now though hope it's out soon

[severe kite]

yea im also confused as the license literally states that i can modify it

[bright sable]

That takes maybe a minute or two

[weak grove]

yep, that's why i didn't reply on the other post....

[severe kite]

i mean why would I even listen when this exists.. like??? it literally tells me FREE TO ADAPT (MODIFY REWORK OR UPDATE) a mod

[weak grove]

@severe kite Read "Attribution" again

[severe kite]

read it again what about it

[weak grove]

(but not in any way that suggets that they endorse you or your use of the material)

[severe kite]

"Original Mod by armazing - This mod is not endorsed by the original creator"
put that in description and done?
whats your point

[unborn inlet]

1. the tools do not provide the necesarry means to unpack the files. And no matter of the license, reverse engineering is prohibited
2. while SA license provides the license to modify / rework / adapt the files, that does not mean the original author should also provide the working files.

short version = you can modify / rework or update the files within the boundaries of the tools

[unborn inlet]

also this ^

[empty nexus]

we will have one interpretation to follow once it's out, hopefully signed by a legal team or person

[weak grove]

null

[empty nexus]

relatable

[weak grove]

[unborn inlet]

if it is just scripts, you can freely copy paste the scripts in a new project as long as you provide attribution

[severe kite]

how do the tools not provide the means to unpack the files? yes it does? see scripts and other text based things

[empty nexus]

some files yes

[severe kite]

doesnt unpack meshes or something, yes

[weak grove]

well i saw talks on lawyers and stuff so i hope this is the actual case

[severe kite]

so... yea???

[severe kite]

i thought we do, https://www.bohemia.net/community/licenses/arma-public-license-share-alike

[unborn inlet]

mainly because the scripts are not directly packed...

[weak grove]

sadly....

[severe kite]

oh well but like i said the mod is purely scripts based so :/ time to copy!

[empty nexus]

everything in a mod is packed

mods have two states: packed (lock icon?) and unpacked

[severe kite]

now this is fun

[weak grove]

take it to scripting

[unborn inlet]

semantics i guess. are textures are packed? the .dds file format does that, so does the .xob as well

[severe kite]

this isnt really scripting though, its the workbench failing to copy a file...

[unborn inlet]

considering the license, for now anyways, yes. if you furthermore do not wanna publish it, even safer

[empty nexus]

inside the pak there are just files in various formats, some are text some are binary, workbench does not allow converting from those binary formats to the source formats they came from

[severe kite]

im still confused, why are some files (.conf) not able to be copied over to "my" mod?

[empty nexus]

but it also does not allow copying those formats, you can copy/duplicate a text format like emat, conf, et or whatever

[weak grove]

yeah anything, base game

[empty nexus]

but actually you cant copy a layer file from locked mod can you? so the rules are random

[empty nexus]

right click -> duplicate should work

[severe kite]

tried all

override, inherit, duplicate
i just deleted my whole project and starting from scratch

[empty nexus]

I can duplicate conf files just fine, not sure whats going on in your project

[severe kite]

peak development tools.. doesnt even let you copy a file

time to copy via windows and hope it works nvm you cant open a packed mod

[severe kite]

what the fuck? 😭

[unborn inlet]

you can definitely copy paste the text (view>text) of conf file

[severe kite]

are you using experimental tools?

[empty nexus]

no sorry

[severe kite]

it

[weak grove]

does bro understand you actually have to select a folder?

simple stuff my guy

[empty nexus]

when duplicating you dont

[weak grove]

i'm sure i had to set a path, but this might just be me

hmm unless it's his onedrive

[severe kite]

i dont have a onedrive
it works on the main branch of the tools

its a exp tools issue

[weak grove]

ok so they broke it lol

[unborn inlet]

in the EXP, the only moment you cannot duplicate is when you don't have your own project file open = you opened someone elses mod. If you do have your own project file set with dependency (or open with addons), you can

[severe kite]

you cant

because i just tried that...

[empty nexus]

works for me in exp tools

[weak grove]

skill issue

i was hoping it was actually broken but nope.

[severe kite]

huh

wtf... thats mad weird i tried it in 3 different projects and it didnt work, but it works on stable?

[lone plaza]

Anyone know how to fix the issue where the game isnt being detected by the workbench

[smoky sinew]

Did you add the base game as a project yet or does it not detect anything in that path?

[stark acorn]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Mod_Project_Setup#Adding_Arma_Reforger_Project simply add it to the list

[silk orbit]

Bump

[stark acorn]

I still think it was false perception - it looks fine when you do those changes at first but it will show true state after Workbench reload #enfusion_generic message

[silk orbit]

But that was the intention, modify the same prefab in two different files in same addon.

[stark acorn]

what I mean, it will look like you are modifying same prefab in two files in same addon once you are doing that while workbench is working but then, after restart, it will correctly reject prefabs with same GUID in same addon

[silk orbit]

ah, well

[frigid plinth]

Damn the modding community sucks ass when it comes to asking for advice/help jesus fuck 😂

[smoky sinew]

Yea it really does

[empty nexus]

name checks out

[smoky sinew]

wha huh

[frigid plinth]

Lmfao don't be mad, you prolly one of them fellas 😂

Honestly thought this place was for modders to come together and help each other out, give feedback and such .. God forbid asking for help, as no one wants to 🤦🏾‍♂️

[unborn inlet]

quite the contrary. but that particular attitude of yours won't make you any friends

[frigid plinth]

At this point I don't think I don't think that was a possibility from the beginning as anytime I've asked.. Nicely mind you, got pushed aside

[weak grove]

huh

no one's out to hunt you? lol

[frigid plinth]

What? xD

[unborn inlet]

you mean this all caps message of yours?
#enfusion_generic message
that has nothing to do with #enfusion_engine channel, with an emphasis on engine?

[frigid plinth]

So what the fact it was all caps automatically means I was being rude or disrespectful? please do read the message for me.. The reason it was caps was bc I was being ignored 😂

[weak grove]

and that's gonna make anyone wanna reply?

[empty nexus]

there's more than 1 sentence in the message you are replying to tho

if you need help with making models try #enfusion_model

[unborn inlet]

patches - https://docs.rhsmods.org/rhs-status-quo-user-documentation/arma-reforger/rhs-status-quo/for-developers/patches
modelling related questions - depends on software used, your current skills etc. Your message is sooo generic

• if you want to learn how to model from scratch, a different discord server for modelling question would be better
• if you want to import/ encode models you have purchased, the biki is the place too have a look over
• same for clothes and more
  ask specific questions next time instead of
  i don't know how to model or make mods, someone please hold my hand and guide me sort of deal

@frigid plinth ^^ also the fact you get no answer might mean several things

• you posted in the wrong section
• your message was too generic for anyone to take you seriously
  none of the above means your can post in all caps out of frustration, created by your own inability to express on point what you need help with. no one here has the time to hold your hand and have an apprentice of sorts

modding is a hobby you invest time and energy in, if you seem serious about it, you will get a serious answer. otherwise things will repeat

[frigid plinth]

Thought I pretty much explained I was looking for help for making patches, clothing, helmets, etc in previous messages.. So sorry that my requests for helkp seem generic... Either way thanks for the help listed

[empty nexus]

inject / encode

[unborn inlet]

would you prefer the arma's community word of choice port instead?

[weak grove]

least you didn't say ripping

[empty nexus]

in all seriousness I would say import and use, since you are not manually doing any injections and encodings
