[jade frigate]

Hi all, first time modder here. I followed a tutorial made nearly 2 years ago to make a map in reforger tools using the default assets and it's working great in singleplayer with the default loadout, but as soon as I try to add a subspace with a gamemode on some layers, I have two issues.

1. While trying to add a custom win condition rule, the script used in the youtube video I was adapting is no longer working, and fails to build. I also can't work out how to preload an arsenal truck with supplies or find the attribute where this can be modified from the default of 0.

2. Once I've saved any progress towards making this subspace, and adding the game logic etc. Reopening that subspace results in an error "File data structure of the world is obsolete and needs to be changed." and all of the changes I made to the subspace except for the layers is deleted.

Any help welcomed and appreciated, and if this is in the wrong place, please ping the correct channel and I'll repost.

[charred wraith]

get any help?

hey does anyone know where i can go to try and have someone comission a mod?

Don’t have C&H neither do I have a respawnhandlercomponent

[twilit barn]

that is not allowed at all for reforger.

[tiny zephyr]

ah well now i know

[wheat jay]

question why do user names show up as %1 %3

is this a arma issue or a mod issue?

[eternal glade]

is there any guides or information on how to go about sharing a project with colleagues so that we can all work on a project i know that you can claim tiles and such but where would i start

[remote bronze]

Setup version control via git (with large file support) or SVN. That way you can share the source. Then you can invite each other to be contributors on the mod so everyone in the team can publish updates if needed.

[eternal glade]

@remote bronze github? also thank you if i have any questions can i @ you

[remote bronze]

GitHub is one option, GitLab is another, or self hosted. Storing large files on github can cost a bit of money if you push and pull it a lot. so if you mod contains many large assets keep it in mind. But you can always move your repositories somewhere else later easily. I do not have the time to help setup each individual user. I gave you some keywords you need to know to look into this further. You can always ask on discord so everyone can give you answers, but doing a google search first will often lead you the right way.

[eternal glade]

@remote bronze thanks for the help

[charred wraith]

Guys I built 4 worlds, they are all not in my projects now, its like the profile is gone, i have all data, when i reimport it nothing in resource and world is empty im sad af can anyone help

and the gamer project is Arma Reforger in the options not my game world

I cant ad addons in unsorted or anything

to add dependencies @remote bronze think you could help pleeease?

https://tenor.com/view/sponge-bob-mr-crabs-please-im-begging-you-gif-14172732

anyone?

im desprate dont want to lose 200hrs of building and scripting

[charred wraith]

anyway to find past saves?

when i open project now it launches armareforger doesnt open my pjoejct

[empty nexus]

you have an empty dependency defined in your addon.gproj, remove it as empty dependency is not a valid mod ID

[charred wraith]

there are no dependency

world doesnt even open my project anymorewhen i open project it open "Arma Reforger"

[empty nexus]

line number 4 from your image disagrees

[charred wraith]

could you hop on a call?

and not sure why it says it cant be addedthats the actual project name im trying to open itsnot a dependecy

i removed a dependency in setting now the entie project is gone and i cant readd the ids in the setting antmore

[empty nexus]

have you removed the invalid dependency from your addon.gproj file? if yes and still occurs then post up to date logs

[charred wraith]

my wolrds or non of my files ar in my workbench resource browser for this project anymore

[empty nexus]

open addon.gproj in notepad and remove the invalid dependency

[charred wraith]

the only dependecy its stated is the arma reforger game

[empty nexus]

so if this is no longer the case, post up to date logs, as thats what your image says the problem is

[empty nexus]

you need to remove the invalid empty dependency from ArmaWarfareReimagined

[charred wraith]

That file "ArmaWarFareReimagined" is the "Project/world name" why is it a dependency? and its not there still gives same code

[empty nexus]

as you can see in your image you have an invalid empty dependency in the dependency array, empty strings are not valid mod IDs, you may want to add 58D0FB3206B6F859 in there

[charred wraith]

world was working perfect, went to setting to triple check before uploading and then say i had mods i didnt us so i removed them as dependencies now all my project are gone when i open the workbench

i had to reimport this one and it loads empty, ive added that and removed it as it was the only dependency there

[empty nexus]

if you've made changes and are still getting the problem, post up to date logs

[charred wraith]

im about to buy you a pizza 🫡

Saved me tears and 200hrs of wasted work, mod dropping tonight!

While your here yk how to get peertool working? thats why i broke my game in first place

[empty nexus]

this is my peertool config

as in loglevel spam

[empty nexus]

How do I remove mod dependancies in the Reforger Tools? I have removed the troublesome mod in "Options -> Dependancies" but ingame it still wants to download the mod

[bronze marlin]

Hello guy it's possible to change the clothes of the IA Fia patrol ?

[tranquil burrow]

If the map is say 4000km if the away to make it smaller

[hollow flame]

did you push a workshop update after removing the dependency?

[gilded panther]

Absolutely.

[hollow flame]

sometimes the workshop is a bit odd and requires you to push it twice, I would try uploading it once more just to double check, also open the addon.gproj with a text editor and make sure the dependency isnt still there besides the one for reforger itself

[warm mirage]

you know what i love so much about mapping in arma ... i been looking for a good hour why in the middle of my map it lags like hell if you look to it from a distance or close to it everything else all good . all the assets there used mostly basegame and a few own are also on other parts of the map 0 issues there ... i deleted section by section couldnt find why it lagged , to find out after an hour that it was the freaking plantpot beeing a milimeter in the ground and that bugged everything out because of thier destruction component ... GG love it

[surreal lava]

Any opinions?

[charred wraith]

Can i publish a new mod from same project as another mod?

[jade current]

Why?

[charred wraith]

trying to publish a sub world or my world but with a different gamemode

i want to make different variants without changing map

[jade current]

No need to publish a completely different mod.. The sub-world will require people to download the original mod regardless.

[warm lotus]

Based on the word "portability", does this mean it is possible to port over mods from other arma games and DayZ into Arma Reforger? If it is possible, how difficult is it actually?

[pallid knot]

You can port over your own Arma 2/3 mods.
You'll need the original model files to convert them to Enfusion format, and have to re-do all your scripts/configs.
So models/textures you can port somewhat easily. Scripts and configs need to be rewritten.

The sentence in the screenshot, refers to the Enforce Engine. Not to RV->Enfusion.

[warm lotus]

Is it possible to port DayZ or Take on Helicopters vanilla content into Enfusion?

[pallid knot]

Same applies

ToH models I don't know.
DayZ models and textures are same format as in RV, you'll need to convert them.
And 90% of the scripts won't work either, you'll have to rewrite it

Depends on your definition of "port". If you are willing to remake 90% of the things, does it still count as a port?
You can definitely reuse some parts and convert them.

[icy sonnet]

What would be causing a mod I have to throw an illegal read error

[tacit crag]

Yo how tf do I find modded assets in the arma reforger tools

[remote bronze]

Usually accessing some unmanaged memory that is no longer there. Could be caused by mod calling a native method which does not check for it. Feel free to share logs/crashdumps via the window that should appear and send me the GUID from the report so I can tell you more details

[remote bronze]

Adding them as existing mods into the launch window and setting up dependencies for your mod and or rightclick your own mod and do "open with"

Not sure why it wasn't mentioned but, you cannot port vanilla DayZ standalone things to Reforger.

[unborn inlet]

short version -> if the content is not released by BI as an APL data pack, you cannot (there are data packs available for A1, A2 and TOH). There aren't any for DayZ and A3

[signal rose]

Are there image files of the modded maps (ones that match the paper map) located in the mod folder?

Just curious if there is a better way to get an image than taking a screenshot so it's easier to plan conflict scenarios etc

[bright sable]

Not in the mod folder, but in the pak file.

You can open the mod in the Workbench and inspect the image from there, but you won't be able to save it using the WB, only make a screenshot of the pure texture.

[steel gulch]

Hi people, I made a boo boo with my weather system in the editor and wondering if there is a quick way to set it back to default?

[weak grove]

or just delete it and replace it sadly.

[steel gulch]

not working

[weak grove]

the back button should reset it to default settings, if that doesn't work you will need to remove it and replace it and redo all the settings and you are talking about the TimeAndWeatherManger

[steel gulch]

nah like my weather settings.

preset files are gone and adding them back from the core aint doin it lol

[chilly yacht]

I’ve been reading through a lot of this arma reforger stuff. Wondering for so many of these complex models are people just using ridged body geometry?

[unborn inlet]

not sure what you mean by these complex models are people just using ridged body geometry

[chilly yacht]

Like all these planes and vehicles

They all have interiors ect I’m seeing

[unborn inlet]

please rephrase the question. do you mean rigid body components or rigged body geometry?

[chilly yacht]

Geo

Collider

[unborn inlet]

best way to make colliders is to use simple shapes and follows the existing vanilla assets in terms of setup

[chilly yacht]

Of course just wondering

[unborn inlet]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Collision_Layer
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:FBX_Import#Collider_Usage

[chilly yacht]

Yea I’m looking over that now. Just know it’s fairly difficult for these kinda assets to be done in dayz where I’m coming from. Must be better modelers here. Thanks @unborn inlet

[unborn inlet]

there is a mix of types of colliders for reforger. Larger assets are using quite a few of these, and some different, depending on their purpose

example

[chilly yacht]

Ah collider tools plugin. Right on

Do you see much dip in performance with higher component colliders?

[unborn inlet]

the fewer (and less vert count) the better, depends on their usage obviously

[chilly yacht]

Thanks man making the switch def looks like a big change

[empty nexus]

not really unless it's a trimesh collider and not a simple shape, and in some cases depending on which buttons you press the game engine will crash to desktop when the collider is shot with a bullet

[unborn inlet]

that is why this is important

Hey guys, is it allowed to use f.e. vehicles from arma 2 or 3 for a mod in arma reforger ? Ive just found a already published mod doing that

[smoky sinew]

you cant import things from arma 3 apparently
arma 2 sure

[split sierra]

[polar steppe]

Would anyone happen to have a link to a resource that shows how much exp is required for each rank in conflict?

[twilit barn]

I think that's either in the game mode or the faction manager component. Load up the vanilla scenario in workbench to see.

[willow osprey]

Has anyone experienced their duplicated prefab edits not saving when reopening the workbench?

[weak grove]

did you left ALT drag the objects into the parent perfab?

[willow osprey]

Nope, in fact all I'm trying to do is delete unwanted parts

[weak grove]

you have to duplicate the map/mission, then also duplicate the prefab your trying to edit and do it that way.

[willow osprey]

As far as I can tell, that's what I'm doing. Got a mod called BritProps which is currently a bunch of duplicated prefabs with retextures. Just wanting to make some blank shops but for whatever reason my changes aren't fully saving. Very odd.

[weak grove]

might have something to do with trying to edit another dependency's perfab, if you get me

[supple pike]

hey this is a long shot i know but im new to enfusion and would love a tutorial on how to use it ive looked online but none start from the beginning ad all are years old, thanks to anyone who considers this

Is it possible to use a controller for camera control inside workbench? Trying to record some stuff with smooth camera pans.

Turns out you can, you just need to set an override on the tools in Steam to use Steam input!

how do make an item rain proof so it wont let any rain through as a roof..

[bright sable]

Does your mesh have collisions?

yup

nevr mind its fixt after reimportant it

[mystic crater]

if I want to check the damage and accuracy values of the weapons, where to find that?

[unborn inlet]

which weapons? or how do you wanna do that? go through the configs of each bullet type?

afaik there is no way to export that info directly

[fiery trellis]

To my knowledge, weapons dont have a flat rating like that. Depends on barrel length, ammo type and caliber. You'd have to probably calculate all the data per weapon unless such a thing is hidden in the tools somewhere.

[worn tangle]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Weapon_Creation/Prefab_Configuration this page will give you everything you need concerning bullet properties

hello, i want to test my mod IN GAME, and so with the game master (my mod is a placeable decoration)
so i did what was describe in this page : https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Asset_Browser_Mod_Integration
but when i launch the game beside my enfusion tools, i can't find a single clue of my mod once in game

do i need to place a file or something in my game files ? do i need to publish my mod to test it ?
im lost

do i need to go through this just to test my mod in game ? https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Mod_Localisation

[stark acorn]

if you want to load your WIP mod without publishing it to workshop, then you can use for example -addons CLI param ( https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Startup_Parameters#addons ) together with addonsDir ( https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Startup_Parameters#addonsDir )

addonsDir will tell the game where your addon is located (use folder, where your addon is located, not the project folder! so i.e. c:/projects/addons and not c:/projects/addons/myProject1 )

addons will tell game to load that specific addon. In past, addonsDir was enough to show your addon in workshop tab but I think this feature was removed due to being not reliable - you can try it though

[mystic crater]

I was wondering that, I noticed the rpk74 does more damage to a character than a ak74, which may be the longer barrel, or the game just assigning a higher damage value per weapon

[stark acorn]

it is longer barrel doing that

muzzle velocity is higher thus energy is also affected

[mystic crater]

is that calculated in the game code or written into a number?

[stark acorn]

muzzle velocity coef is in weapon muzzle

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Weapon_Creation/Prefab_Configuration#Barrel_Length_vs_Muzzle_Velocity

here you have a lot of data about that

ah, I see it was already linked so I guess you still haven't read that

[neon thistle]

i will have a look on it soon
im too tired to read documentation all day like im doing lol
my brain cant process information anymore lol

[neon thistle]

reading the wiki im stuck on a term :
what is the difference between "prefabeditable" and just "prefabs"

[empty nexus]

prefabeditable is a version of a prefab that is used by the Prefab Library

[neon thistle]

i understood that if i want to produce a decorative asset that people can place with the game master i need to have the same structures in my mod folder

prefab -> Props -> decorations

[empty nexus]

you can use the same structure or you can make your own, for simplicity just copy the game's structure

[neon thistle]

but what is the prefab library ? the windows where there is the button "edit prefab" ?

[empty nexus]

not sure it is documented on wiki but it is not related to game master placeable entities so feel free to ignore it

for placeable items you can follow https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Prop_Creation

[neon thistle]

man
reading all the documentation over and over in a language that is not my native language is so hard, im not bad at english, but when you have that much things to read, it's just mentally very hard to keep up lol

[neon thistle]

yeah im on this one

[empty nexus]

depending on what you are doing you might not need to read all of it

[neon thistle]

actually at Generating placeable entity chapter

but it's talking about editable prefab and i can't understand why creating an editable prefab if just an .et is working

[empty nexus]

I've never followed that myself but you probably should, at least for the first couple times

[neon thistle]

how did you managed to do a mod without reading the documentation lol

[empty nexus]

I just figured out how it works and did it in a way that worked

editable can mean a couple different things

if the wiki suggests to do an orange prefab for a prop then I guess do it this way

[stark acorn]

prefab editable is for game master prefabs. You are probably mistaken with PrefabsLibrary which are in... PrefabsLibrary folder

[empty nexus]

Oops yes spot on

Sorry about that

[neon thistle]

i can't achieve to use this Eden_AssetImages.ent

once i click play just after selecting SCR_EditorImageGeneratorEntity + my prefab
it show me this error

so i don't understand why it tells me that i didnt selected a prefab, because i did

[tawdry frigate]

huge newbie to enfusion but this reshade preset i found mentions static time and lighting and it looks really good but it's definitely not present in the normal game, so i'm just curious as to how static lighting can be enabled through the workbench to play around with

[stark acorn]

it is error in vanilla game which will be fixed in 1.2 release

[warm mirage]

so i got a little question till what extend is gore allowed ? like if i want to add some cut off limbs and torso with tons of blood aka idk for a horror map would that be okey ?

[neon thistle]

I see so we cant use the image editor yet

[stark acorn]

you can try experimental version of Reforger where it is working already

Hey Zelik, it seems like I've the same issue atm on the experimental branch of the game.
How did you manage (if you did) to fix your problem with the visual identity of the player not being randomized with the faction's Visual Identity Array values ?

[jade current]

I didn't have a problem with them being randomized. I wanted to change them via script.

I don't remember what causes them to apply randomly but, I do know the base loadout for each faction is set up to do so. So just look at one of them and you should be able to figure it out.

Add the component to the prefab you're using, then it should be added to all the ones you've already placed.

Hey guys, I am very new to arma reforger and the enfusion engine and I am currently trying to make a simple mission so that only me and my friends could play. However when i tried publishing the scenario, it got stuck on the arma reforger logo and nothing happened. I had to restart the game to get out of it and still could not load into the mission. Is there something I did wrong with the publishing?

[warm lotus]

Doesn't work, it just copies all the components and each of their settings into all entities I paste it in when each entity has slightly different component settings. I am trying to paste only one type of component into every entity all at once

I am trying to paste the hierarchy component into over 400 entities which are all supposed to be within a layered composition. Pasting them one by one seems to be the only way I can do it without messing anything up

[twilit barn]

Are the entities the same or different types? What prefab are you trying to add it to? Can you provide a pic maybe?

[warm lotus]

It is a composition with child entities varying of sandbag walls, bunkers, walkways, and dirt patches. Just needed to add the hierarchy component to every single entity to make them show up as editable when you enter the layer of the composition as Game Master. I did it one by one but would like to know if possible for future reference an easier way to add them.

so asbout the time trigger component change for ammo , what does it need to be replaced with now ?

why did the trigger event needed to be changed ... now my ammo doenst work no more ......

there is nothing in the change logs about it and the whole thing is now fd

[wheat jay]

do the mods just need "updated" to the new version?

[warm mirage]

some guns dont shoot no more , animations are changed on m16 and broke a lot of custom animations yeey love updates....

[old viper]

some yes some no, depends what the mods do.

[wheat jay]

yeah I see most modded maps are broken

[old viper]

many mods need some adittional work

[wheat jay]

I cri,rebuilding mod list for our server right now, adding each mod 1 by 1 to see if they work or not

[old viper]

but i heared that loads of people already trying to update their mods

[wheat jay]

rhs dont work rn which is a big kicker lol

[old viper]

but the workshop cant handle the load RHS got the same issue update is done but workshop is playing stupid again

[wheat jay]

and I lost the map we mainly run, Mogadishu

[old viper]

just have to sit and wait bud

[warm mirage]

all custom guns sound are removed aswel wth is been done that is not in the change logs....

[empty nexus]

mostly very easy fixes so far not sure what the fuss is about

[warm mirage]

k

[lofty void]

I also need this

[empty nexus]

your logs will tell you whats wrong with the animations, assuming you are running into the same thing I did

step 0 is check logs, always

[lofty void]

Nitrado?

[crude mason]

logic

[lofty void]

Idk then sorry

[crude mason]

all good i posted in wrong chat anyway sorry

[warm mirage]

even taking the trigger off wont allow ammo to be shot anymore .... if you found the issue can you please share your info

[empty nexus]

I'm not going to try to help you until you post logs, waste of time

[warm mirage]

thats what i shows

turning that off does not work and still nothing comes out ...

[warm mirage]

add rpl to your ammo . some reason they force you now to use hat

and use the subammo effect

[lofty void]

Roger that

[lofty void]

What does subammo effect do

[warm mirage]

that for if you want to add like shotgun shot to it ,. thought thats why you asked lel

like spawn multiple shots with 1 round

[empty nexus]

why use rplcomponent on shells? vanilla bullets do not use it

also you didnt post full logs, only some random sample

[warm mirage]

nope you are now forced to

it wont work without

[empty nexus]

there is no rplcomponent on vanilla bullets therefore I do not see any reason to use it on mine, they work just fine

[warm mirage]

it does not work an aks for an RPL if shot

i see why they have removed the inv stuff that used to be on bullets

removing that ytou dont need rpl

[empty nexus]

correct, I do not see any reason to put this on my bullets, you may have a reason to in which case go ahead

[warm mirage]

these are old round copyd from basegame they used to have a inv component on them but they removed that it seems . never had issues with the rounds till now so i removed it and testing it atm

[empty nexus]

use it if you want, I don't, that's all I'm saying

[warm mirage]

yea im removing it as i dont see the point for it ether

just saying it used to be on it but we talking about before 1.0

did thjey change something on the hitbox ?

also all the ammo settings are gone better just make them all new ...

[lofty void]

Word

I need it for A. Trench Gun and B. Cannon Grapeshot

[tacit stump]

does anyone know the code of this x symbol?

[earnest sundial]

I think it's Unicode Character “×” (U+00D7)

[crude mason]

anyone know why i can select a category since the new update when i go to publish?

[severe cypress]

Any idea on RHS update time?

Anyone know how to make the collision trigger work for a thrown grenade?

I have it on a custom grenade I made, and it doesn't detonate on impact

Wait, when I throw the grenade on single safety it doesn't explode either

[wise dawn]

Turns out it may be a bug

[severe kite]

There a way to fill a magazine inside a gun with individual bullets?

Trying to make a Mosin Nagant but afaik i’d have to make “magazines” instead of single loading the gun

[unborn inlet]

not possible to my knowledge. Indeed you’ll need a workaround for now

[severe kite]

maybe i can just use stripperclips

[old viper]

Hey, every time i try to open My Project it shows only the dependecies, anybody know what going on here?

[remote bronze]

Check the errors and warnings. that might be why your addon does not load

[old viper]

How can i fix it? i already updated the mods

[remote bronze]

The only relevant bit is this. Is that your mod? low battery coop mission? Send me your gproj file it has please

[old viper]

DM

[remote bronze]

^ For others who run into the same issue, there was a "" blank dependency at the end of the list which caused it to not load. it can be manually removed via editing gproj in notepad

[limpid topaz]

I'm having the same problem with my edits on everon I'm doing and every time I try to publish it says I have dependency when all the stuff I added are vanilla

IF anyone can help me that would be much apperciate

[fleet fjord]

Hey everyone! I'm pretty new to modding and I've been working on texturing a female head for reforger (part of DarkGru's GI Jane 2.0 basically). So after several days of trial and error (plus trying to understand what I read) I managed to get this done on Blender 3.6.

It is based on the sample character head which I sculpted, retextured, added some things here and there, and of course, there's the hair which is made with meshes rather than Blender's hair tools. So in essence, all is textured based on image textures with alpha channels and what not. So far so good.

My problem is exporting it to Enfusion and for it to basically keep as much info as possible... So far I've only managed to do it manually, as in, exporting the FBX from blender's menu according to the export settings mentioned in the basic weapon/asset tutorial.
For the life of me I can't seem to get it to work with the Enfusion Tools context menu.

After re importing the textures I've managed something like this, all the while manually applying the textures to the materials and having to play again with all the different settings (of course, I haven't done the hair this time, but I've managed before to make it look like the blender pic above).

So I have two questions:

1. I'm clearly missing something, but, how can I export directly from blender 3.6 to enfusion?
2. Is there a way of exporting the FBX so all settings are already applied and not having to do them manually?

[stark acorn]

2. Is there a way of exporting the FBX so all settings are already applied and not having to do them manually?
   no, you need to do materials configuration in Enfusion first

[fleet fjord]

So materials don't come from the fbx itself?

[lofty void]

I had the same issue with my German shepherd fur so I'd like to know how those turns out

@crude wasp how did you get your hair in?

[crude wasp]

Well its basicly a Helmet and a Simple BCR NMO with a Bought Hair model that was adjusted to the Reforger heads.

[lofty void]

Did you do the NMO in substance painter?

@fleet fjord idk if that helps

[fleet fjord]

I took a screenshot of the base texture and edited on photoshop

No idea how what you are saying works lol

[crude wasp]

you can convert them manually. What I do is import the model and the textures into Substance and then export with the Arma Preset.

[fleet fjord]

I'll look into that

[lofty void]

enfusioneye right?

[fleet fjord]

I'm completely illiterate on enfusion.. it's only now that I'm certain I have everything in blender 3.6 that I'm venturing into enfusion

[lofty void]

All good, it's all learnable. Just be patient like you probably were with blender and results will come

[fleet fjord]

Haha thanks for the encouragement

[fleet fjord]

oh I thought this was part of enfusion or a free addon...definitely can't afford it lol. Rip

Found this software called quixel mixer... I hope it does what I need

[fleet fjord]

everything is finally in enfusion.... but I am going crazy with the top hair part...

I know there are limitations in terms of what enfusion can do... but holy shit it's THAT hair texture that really makes me want to break something lol. Also... the most likely cause is because the mesh is damaged after merging by distance, which is a necessary step if I want the hair to stick to the armature. I just don't know how else to do it besides doing the hair from scratch

(also... I have no idea which section would be most appropriate for this)

[keen rune]

@crude wasp weren't you just playing with hair? got any suggestions for this?

[fleet fjord]

I used a hair prefab which I tweaked... but now I am learning to actually model hair cause I'm not liking the results lol

I will not let this stupid thing beat me

[raw swift]

Out of pure curiosity as someone with limited game dev, coding and, CAD/3d modeling experience, but has never used enfusion. How feasible would it be to make a motorcycle, in terms of is it physically possible within the confines/capabilities of the engine.

[vivid thunder]

I would suggest using a alpha-masked shader rather than alpha-blend for the majority of the hair.
I suggest this as you're running into issues with the draw order of the triangles in a few of the screenshots.
It may be possible to lightly use alpha-blended materials for the bangs and whispy parts.

I do character art for another gig and the majority of the hair setup is
Mesh 1) Base bald character
Mesh 2) Scalp shell mesh with base hair color, using alpha-mask for the edges.
Mesh 3) Majority of the hair shape using hair cards with alpha-masking for the strands.
Mesh 4) Eyebrows

I definitely think what you're trying is do-able. It'll just require some material tweaking and probably some separation of some of the hair cards.

[vivid thunder]

It's possible.
https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/610B074414290132-Motorbike

[crude wasp]

you are currently working with Haircards which is the correct aproach for GameArt. I would just use a Standard Material and not a Fur Shader since they are WIP.

[mystic thicket]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEtX_Z7zZSY I still struggle with this in games, Please BI make a really nice TAA for Pc, I still get shimmering without taxing the fps, Is there anyway to make a good anti aliasing method which produces visual clarity I play on 2K and for some reason reforger hurts my eyes after awhile with the shimmering pixelation of foliage textures, models ect

[raw swift]

Does it actually work or is it just a 4 wheel vehicle masquerading as a motorbike.

[fleet fjord]

Thanks a lot for the suggestion! I'll definitely look into that since I may do the hair again from scratch.

[regal canyon]

can anyone please direct me of where to locate and how to duplicate the US arsenal so I can create a second custom one? I'm having trouble finding it in the directory

thank you 🙏

[limpid topaz]

Can anyone help me at all with this please I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong

[remote bronze]

Read the error messages carefully, each of them tells you exactly what is wrong. Some errors are in the base game itself. So you generally only care about paths mentioned that look like its your data

[limpid topaz]

So the ones that’s are base game errors I don’t have to worry about it when I publish it

[prime wyvern]

anyone got any guidance for making vehichles? struggling with my current one

[hollow basin]

You want visual clarity and are asking for TAA? MSAA x2 incurs about %10 of performance and takes care of most of the shimmering at 1440p

[fleet fjord]

Could there be an approach I'm missing though? Like... I don't think I would have this problem if it weren't for this:

So here's the hair in it's current form which looks good in blender, and an older iteration of this project in enfusion, proving that the hair can look good as it is.

Now... when parenting the top part of the hair to the armature using automatic weights, basically half the hair is left unaffected

[vivid thunder]

Do you know about how vertex groups work with regards to skinning? That's where I'd look first.

[fleet fjord]

So in order to fixed that, the only thing I've found that works is merging by distance, which ends up in a huge loss of detail

[fleet fjord]

no idea 🥹

[vivid thunder]

Ah that'll be it then

I need to step out for a few hours. But if you want to start a thread or DM me I can help you solve it.

[fleet fjord]

no worries, I have no rush. I really appreciate it!

(I forget we have threads here)

[vivid thunder]

In short - you need to select all of the vertices and add a 'Head' vertex group to them. This will bind the skinning to the bone named 'Head'

That'll get you past this first hurdle.
Later you should look into weight painting so the hair doesn't sit completely solid when the body is animated.

[prime wyvern]

Wow just check and bohemia haven't even updated there own mods

[charred wraith]

Do I need to create a custom game scrip to do this?
Door -> Player Opens Door -> SmokeParticlesSpawn on Door that causes damage

Basically a standard Interactiontrigger

with specific Interaction Condition such as if players interacts with "Open" then SmokeParticles Spawn else nothing/default

[gloomy vapor]

Try ReShade with Clarity.fx, LumaSharpen.fx and AdaptiveSharpen.fx.
I use it all the time with every game.
Even after switching to a 1440p monitor the difference is still very noticable.
Also disable all the in-game anti-aliasing and other image enhancement filters.
ReShade On/Off comparison:

Did the new update remove siteslots?

[silk orbit]

reforger seems pretty blurry indeed, I run no AA, render the game in 4300x1800 on 3440x1440 screen and everything beyond around 50m is smeared quite a bit.

[arctic crystal]

I have applied the CampaignBuildingProviderComponent to this truck and applied the CampaignBuildingManagerComponent to my gamemode entity. On the manager, I set up the Prefabs To Build Resource as well. Once the menu is open, there's no options to build any prefabs, just, these black boxes. Anyone know what I'm missing?

[smoky sinew]

I'm trying to figure out the "House Number" on SCR_FiringRangeTarget if thats a UID either to the firing range controller or firing range line area?

is there something listening for the "House Number" on the targets so each firing range controller knows what to listen for or vice versa?

[coral vale]

I was trying to make a mod to auto load your enabled mods into the host server screen, where I got it working I found you have to use -addons startup parameters to enable menu mods but, if you enable any mods on the menu, when you host a server it will always host with no mods enabled no matter what you enable in the server setting. Anyone know how to fix this?

[prime wyvern]

Question I'm in the process of creating ELS how do I get it to alternate to each side, I have them split set up to one action but don't know how to get them flash between red and blue

[smoky sinew]

has anyone taken a stab at a wasteland scenario yet? only question i have is will the engine allow you to have predesignated vehicle spawns with a random list of loot inside

[fleet fjord]

Now... when parenting the top part of

[hoary drum]

heyo, is there a list of these User strings anywhere by any chance? I did some searching and didn't find anything

if I can just drag and drop these sound files in to that field then that works too

anyone got a radio sorted for the civ faction yet?

[knotty portal]

That's the spirit

Hello everyone, i'm currently trying to create a new faction for the gamemode conflict and i'm lacking one thing: The building compositions, i actually create inherited (and tried also with simple duplicated versions) of the campaign buildings, added them to the editor with the config, changed correctly the faction affiliations everywhere in each prefab, but i yet still can't get them to appear neither in the editor and ingame, is there something i'm missing ?
I followed the following tutorials:

• https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Game_Master:_Composition_Configuration_Tutorial
• https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Faction_Creation#Integration_with_Conflict_game_mode (This one being, seems like, outdated btw)
  Also everything works fine for the vehicles and units
  Thanks in advance

[empty nexus]

where terrain holes

[remote bronze]

The same place your grid went -> /s

[empty nexus]

how far can I take talking back without being muted

[remote bronze]

With me personally you are always free to fire back. I am a 100% troll and I can handle the response. For others please keep it civil. Not every green name has lost their sanity by modding (yet)

[empty nexus]

I was going to say something like "ah, same place you got the 1.2 update from" but I think it may be a bit too far

[remote bronze]

Yeah no I do not think that is true. It is not perfect, we know that, but even with some flaws it is still a large improvment for the game overall. hotfix this week shoul hopefully start adressing some of the issues and we continue to work on more minor patches the whole time

[empty nexus]

oh yeah I'm not serious

would love to see some video of terrain holes though just to get hyped up

[silk orbit]

Personally I feel like it would benefit from a week or two in an oven and community response would be way better then.

[remote bronze]

As I said before in some channel here, we had good results and feedback from exp and stable not performing to our expecations was not planned like this ...

Maybe next time we will make "shoot a dev, win free bug fix" event on exp to fill up servers for stress testing better

[royal niche]

I think BI should run a 128 player server on exp from a box in your office. You can't fill up a server you don't have.

[polar steppe]

Hello, which tutorial covers how to create preset loadouts that are available in the spawn screen?

Similar to the default loadout

[pseudo crest]

Bit of a noobie question, but how would I overwrite just parts of a "normal" class, rather than a component, which you'd use the modded keyword with?

Want to do something like this:

[twin finch]

the same way

if you're confused by the invalid breakpoint, put it on an actionable function (not a brace, or class definition), e.g., line 9. then build and compile and it'll be valid

[pseudo crest]

🤦‍♂️ im dumb, for some reason I thought it was some error, not a breakpoint. Must have clicked there by accident at some point

Anyone found out yet >< #enfusion_generic message

[unborn niche]

Don't know if this is the right channel to ask, but does anybody know why I can't use AA when running Reforger on Linux with Proton? Whenever I use any AA I can't open the map.

[empty nexus]

sounds like a bug, but not sure if it will be fixed seeing as its not supported

[hollow slate]

Sorry for the noob questions but does the enfusion engine allow me to make a mission like I do in arma 3?

I guess what I mean is there a toolset that will let me make a mission for reforger and I could import it in to arma 4 when it comes out?

[visual blaze]

in terms of importing to arma 4, they will both use enforce script so there should be no issue with bringing a mission from arma reforger to arma 4, on the question of making a mission like arma 3 there is no eden editor in reforger, the missions have to be made in the world editor as a subscene, and the world editor is way more crude than eden. again reforger is arma 3.5 and its a test bed for new features so making missions in arma 4 will be a lot easier than it is in reforger currently.

[rough hearth]

is there any way to prevent players having to respawn in Conflict mode if they disconnect via crash to desktop? I know there is the slot reservation for when players disconnect to main menu, but when they crash to desktop it seems to make them respawn every time they reconnect, even within 60sec

Hi guys. I make some simple retextured mod and find that new gear use standart camo in arsenal/inventory. Anyone know how change that? PS When i makes helmet he no problem with that. Problem with pants😔

[naive lotus]

Hello people, does anyone know what specifically allows the M923a1 Engineer truck to perform Free Roam Building? I would like to extend that functionality to other vehicles, but none of its components seem to relate to building. I can't figure out what makes this one vehicle different from all the others.

[twin finch]

Unsure myself, but i'd take a look at the SlotManagerComponent

It & the the ammo/arsenal trucks will have a new slot item. But i'm unsure how it relates to the building ability. Probably want to checkout the actionmanagercomp as well

[naive lotus]

its def not the actionmanager, ive been looking through it for an hour lol

but ill look at the slots, thanks

oh yeah, the prefab for the box on the back of the truck is what has the buildingprovidercomponent. Thanks so much for the help!

[twin finch]

no problem

[topaz mist]

add screenshot. idk why pants icon have stock texture😐 Helmet auto change icon.

[stark acorn]

is Item Model retextured too?

[topaz mist]

yes

[stark acorn]

and is it assigned correctly?

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Faction_Creation#Creating_retextures_using_prefabs here you have Item Model mentioned

from the pic I assume you didn't changed Item Model and just changed Mesh Object materials

[topaz mist]

Not sure..

[topaz mist]

Oh, thanks, man. I think I understand

[topaz mist]

I create 2 new prefab from xob and change material then apply to main prefab but nothing change( But thx for help anyway

[stark acorn]

hm, one more thing. Can you try taking off vest in game?

alternatively, take a look at samples and try to compare for differences

[topaz mist]

I found what the problem was xd here default assign stock model xob) All works fine. Ty for help

[tropic flame]

Is there any good place to lern reforger modding?

[bright sable]

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

[tropic flame]

ye i know this page, but i dont like it. The explanations are really short

f.e there are only tutorials for armor and vehicles. But i want to add a new item like a geiger counter

[bright sable]

There isn't a tutorial for every single kind of thing, that would be too much work.
I recommend examining what your plan requires, then looking into how similar existing things achieve this.
For example in terms of interface, a Geiger counter might be a bit similar to a compass or radio.

[tropic flame]

So basically my only option is to copy and modify reforger assets. Surely the wiki cant have everything, but i think that things like this are somewhat basic

[bright sable]

You don't have to copy or modify them, but you can look into how they work. You can learn a lot that way.

[zenith hinge]

So, i was trying out the Gamemode prefab on the world editor, and during the entity generation I got this error

Is this something I should be worried about?

[visual blaze]

if you want to make a geiger counter, the steps i would give you are 1. learn how to either model in blender, or take models from sketch fab (with an atribution license / non-comercial you cant use for modding) and edit them in blender, 2. How to import those fbx's into enfusion, 3. How to texture using either Quixel mixer or substance painter, and then 4. a degree of scripting and adding in components to make the geiger counter function, and 5. doing the animations for using the geiger counter. If you like i jointly run an enfusion modding discord server and we have lots of tutorials on all the above stuff and i can invite you ☺️

[visual blaze]

i have run into a similar error with the time and weather manager entity in the world editor, double check you are using the right prefab, also is this saved as a world or subscene?

[unborn inlet]

sketch fab (with fair use)
there is no such thing as fair use when it comes to game assets. I think you mean with proper license

[visual blaze]

yes, my bad with a proper license

im against ripping of assets, thats by far the scummiest thing some people do

🫡

[empty nexus]

I can think of worse things

[zenith hinge]

Subscene

[tropic flame]

ye invite me

[burnt thunder]

anyone knows how to currently make a MOB in conflict game mode?

[tacit stump]

for some reason my mission strings (title, description and author) can't be localized in scenarios menu, it shows just localization keys. Is it some issue on my side?

[tacit stump]

log has these, but the game loads just fine

10:40:50.636  INIT         : GameProject load project data @"C:/Users/igork/Documents/My Games/ArmaReforger/addons/EscapistsDev_60FD2467B664E0F8/addon.gproj"

but the rest of the game (loading screen and gameplay things strings are localized just fine), so it eventually reloads them in the right way

Is there any other place where localization file should be attached?

[viscid marlin]

is there a way to combine two inventoryitems.conf together instead of manually adding 1 by 1 to the multilist?

[earnest sundial]

Most of the game’s files can be opened in notepad/text editor of choice, just save and then right click > reimport in the tools

Good for doing bulk actions and simple find and replace stuff

[viscid marlin]

i tried opening one of the inventoryitems and this is all i see

it has entries on the tools

[stark acorn]

it seems to be overwritten file, not duplicated one

unless it is inheriting from somewhere

[viscid marlin]

ok im way too new to these tools ig, what is the difference between inheriting and duplicating?

[stark acorn]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Prefabs_Basics#Duplicating_prefab take a look at that page

there is inheritance, overwrite & duplication

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Data_Modding_Basics also here you have some more info

[viscid marlin]

thank you for that

[viscid marlin]

ive noticed other addons using just the inventoryitems to add their guns to the faction and some guns from other addons are already in the inventoryitems is this done by inheriting?

[stark acorn]

overriding

[viscid marlin]

thankyou

[viscid marlin]

does anyone know where all the base building options went? im trying to follow the wiki on it

[warm lotus]

I added more guns to the heli and I get this error in the log, also player's game crashes upon entering the new guns. I cannot figure this out for the life of me

anim controller initialization data is invalid (graph , node MasterControl, instance )

Hello. Did the new update mess up cameras? When i go to build in the scenario it places the camera in the middle of the world. I thought it was the scenario so i made a new one and still the same result. So it has to be tied to my terrain. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

[hexed oriole]

what component/feature do i gotta get to add this into my own server?

being able to set multiple preset kits would be amazing now that saving through rounds is broken

[glad drum]

is it technically possible to add frame generation function mod in enfusion engine?

[viscid marlin]

loadoutmanager i believe

[hexed oriole]

loadout manager lets you set multiple kits?

[viscid marlin]

yeah

[viscid marlin]

also does anyone know how to add base building prefabs to SCR_CampaignFaction?

is anyone else having an issue where you retexture something and its not working in game? only happening since the new update

[burnt thunder]

hello, anyone knows how to make this icon spawn in the map?

[signal patrol]

Can someone help me understand how to read this?

I want to understand how to take an AI ballistic table and turn it into a readable range card with range and mrad hold-overs. Does anyone know how to use the info in these tables or is there an easier way to go about this?

hello again, anyone knows how to make supply remnants generate replenish themselves?

Is there any place I can find DayZ assets that aren't currently in enfusion engine, or are they in there and I just don't know where to look?

anyone know how to reduce the impact a antenna being built in conflict has on radio range?

what does slot type mean?

[warm lotus]

How do I add a dependency to an already in progress project?

[twin finch]

open the gproj. There may be another way but this is how I do it

[uneven quartz]

iirc when you want to open your project there is an option when you right click on it but make sure that the mods are in workbench addons folder

[twin finch]

never tried it, but yeah there is an option. It'll provide a list of the addons you've previously added to the tools and you can tick one

[warm lotus]

I need someone to briefly tell me what I need to do to add pilot controlled guns to a helicopter. I already know how to add guns to a vehicle but not pilot controlled ones

[jade current]

That only opens with other addons. It doesn't add them as a dependency.

[twin finch]

Did not know, thank you

[jade current]

Iirc it's independent of the mod you're opening, so every mod that you open will open with any mod "checked" in the open with addons list until you uncheck them.

[warm lotus]

Nobody knows how to make pilot controlled guns for a heli or have a resource I can follow?

[empty nexus]

liek this?

1. Add WeaponSlotComponent component to helicopter (configure Weapon and set slot to an InventoryStorageSlot, position it)
2. In BaseWeaponManagerComponent configure default slot to 0 (slot of the newly added gun, optional?)
3. Override Configs/System/chimeraInputCommon.conf
   - under HelicopterContext/Action Refs add VehicleFire

thats all i did, I dont remember if I had to press V to cycle weapons or not to be able to fire it

[warm lotus]

I figured it out, but how do I set it to default to no weapon selected like a safety?

[empty nexus]

idk

[warm lotus]

What if I have 3 machines guns, and two rocket pods. How do I set it two where you can cycle between either rockets or machine guns like they are grouped together by type?

[signal patrol]

Open your project then click the workbench drop down at the top and select options. In the window that opens you can add dependencies.

[warm lotus]

Does adding weapons like this work if you did it on a ground vic like the jeep?

[empty nexus]

isnt this the default behavior?

[warm lotus]

No I have to cycle between each individual gun

[empty nexus]

ah gotcha I misread, you cycle between weapon slot components basically so you'd have to create a weapon that has 2 barrels or whatever

[warm mirage]

what do i need to change on my old ai to work with 1,.2 again as they are walking around like morons not following orders anymore , they just do what they want or standing still all my custom orders dont seem to react anymoire

Thanks, @keen rune

[warm lotus]

So I loaded up my mod and one of my rocket pods doesnt stay attached to the heli even though its the same settings as the other

Not sure if either of these have anything to do with it

[lofty void]

no idea where to post this so im gonna post it here

anyone have experience with custom turrets and vehicles?
Original cannons were causing an illegal read error so i made new ones but with a m151A2 turret prefab rather than the btr turret as a starting prefab. main difference is that the procedural animations work on this one for aiming. but now as soon as i load in my ship sinks. i tried adding it to the m151a2 for shiggles and it flies away

plz help

[keen rune]

Is it possible to setup peertool settings per project? Everytime I swap projects I have to redefine my peertool -addons. Or is it just enabling/disabling different windows?

[empty nexus]

but -addons is added automatically

[keen rune]

🤔 If I don't set addons manually peertool fails to connect due to rpl mismatch. Maybe I am doing something wrong

[solar field]

any one found found a way of hiding or removing prefabs from the Eden map? everything just seems locked. any help would be apreciated 🙂

[twin finch]

Yes, but you will be copying the >1,000,000 entities

[solar field]

big download for MP then im guessing?

[twin finch]

Open emptyeden, make a subscene. save. Open eden right click the default layer, select all. Walk away. come back, then select the copy icon. Now walk away for a minute or two because afaik there is no user feedback for if copying was done. Now open your previously saved scene & his the paste icon

pic

The first time I tried it it didn't seem to work, thats why I suggest stepping back & letting it think for a moment. Everythings gonna be slow while you've got all those items selected because its drawing outlines & whatnot around them

Now you can do whatever you want like accidentally selecting a tree instead of tower entre to illustrate your point

[jolly tapir]

[autumn nebula]

hello y'all. new here so bare with me if this isn't quite the exact spot i should pose the question. but i've seen a few examples on how to make a mod with a new scenario. but how would make a mod that is 'scenario independant' a mod of which could potentially be loaded on any scenario? does anyone have a resource they can point to that would explain how to do this?

also is there any othe resources out there that go over project structure and best practices? just curious.

[ionic surge]

Please rephrase you question, do you want peertools to work with any project you have open, or do you want peertools to have different peer config settings for each project

@keen rune

• Choose the Diag executable for the peer tool config located in your game files.
  C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma Reforger\ArmaReforgerSteamDiag.exe
• Params config for peertools
  -addonsDir "C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\My Games\ArmaReforgerWorkbench\addons,C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\My Games\ArmaReforger\addons" -scriptAuthorizeAll
  *Note: make the nessecery changes to fit your dir's target both addons folders in ArmaReforgerWorkbench and ArmaReforger in your documents folder, change e.g USERNAME,Drive *
• Also copy core folder located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma Reforger\addons and paste it in C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\My Games\ArmaReforgerWorkbench\addons
  Note: you have to repeat this step everytime with every game update, and grab the latest core folder

This setup will allow your peer tools to automatically load both the unpacked project mod currently opened in WB for your peer clients from the first path in -addonsDir, and the packed dependencies from the second path in -addonsDir, in this case you don't need -addons, you only need to use that -addons ProjectGameId if your addon is not in the default dir ...ArmaReforgerWorkbench\addons

[warm mirage]

anyone else having issues when a inv / arsenal needs to load a bit of items that it starts to lag the inventory screen out ?

before 1.2 i could have easy 10 pages full of items and nothing happen but now after 3 pages it starts to lag

[empty nexus]

the items have more graphix now so not surprising, perhaps they could load one per frame

[warm mirage]

uff any way how we can fix that way of loading ?

[empty nexus]

maybe you could override the inventory item component settings in a base item prefab to use less graphix

oh you get a frame drop even after items are loaded, thats weird, not what I was talking about

[warm mirage]

before 1.2 we could have 10+ pages and it wouldnt even mind . fun that graphic update but kinda useless in inventory tbh

[empty nexus]

those items arent rendered every frame I dont think

[languid cipher]

By any chance is anyone working on/adding the AgustaWestland AW101 aka merlin helicopter into reforger?

[visual blaze]

your best bet is asking the guys making the british forces pack

[glad drum]

as discussed. #reforger_multiplayer message

[tired spruce]

yeah, there's been people that disconnect from servers from bad stash inventory performance. i lag out, but if i dont touch it, it's usually fine. iirc bacon mentioned something funky about seralization, probably related to the network somehow.

[timber jasper]

Hi all, just wondering what the best free terrain maker is for enfusion?

[smoky sinew]

I'd like to know if there are plans to include Arabic/Persian localizations in Arma Reforger or Arma 4.
"I prefer using these languages for tasks and descriptions."

[visual blaze]

wdym by terrain maker?, your best option is making a map from scratch using QGIS and the GTT tools to get a heightmap + satmap, and then importing them into the world editor and going from there, I jointly run a modding server that specialises in terrain making. I can send you an invite if you want to learn more, as we have a lot of tutorials on terrain creation.

[magic wagon]

is it possible to port dayz mods to reforger?

[timber jasper]

Yes please 🙏

[magic wagon]

yeah would love an invite. turbo noob here

[visual blaze]

if they are your own mods, i dont see why not, if it is someone elses you gotta ask them first.

Is there an easy way to convert/update a prefab to the new game engine format? I got a prefab with the ContextName Errors all over it

[warm lotus]

Does the RHS mod team ever help anyone in this discord with modding?

[empty nexus]

yes

[unborn inlet]

??

[warm lotus]

Ah I just was wondering since I never see any of them in the Enfusion chats

[unborn inlet]

weird question tbh. i am pretty present across this entire discord server, especially on the reforger's modding part, so are some of the others (puddy for all things animations for instance). the team is made out of individual members, as such individual time and involvement varies

also irrelevant /offtopic for this particular channel

[warm lotus]

Ah well I don't mess with animations at all. I am still lost on if anyone found an easy way to update their prefabs that were made pre-1.2 still. Like my prefab has the ContextName issue and I don't know what I will lose if I just delete the entire lines that ContextName is involved in.

[unborn inlet]

posting in the correct channels might help
#enfusion_configuration in your particular case

Hey, we’re having the same issue on our server as well. “Inventory20Menu” being used right before the game crashes. Do you know now what Inventory20Menu is tied to? Or does it apply to any storage object.

hi i am still having trouble with this issue is anyone around to help me figure it out?

[warm mirage]

Havnt found out yet sadly

anyone know what this is about? my server randomly restarted and is now giving me this when I attempt to join

ig we restarted it via the console and its up now, any ideas why that might have happened?

[ionic surge]

delete your mods and join fresh

force redownloading

[wary gyro]

would that also crash the server?

hmm we actually just had all 5 of our games crash at the same time

unknown if server crashed

server did not crash, just players

[ionic surge]

afaik SCRIPT_MISMATCH is not relevant to the server crash, but the client joining a server with corrupt || not the same mods version as the server

I fix it by closing the game, deleting my mods in C:\Users\USER\Documents\My Games\ArmaReforger\addons , and attempt join the server forcing a download for all mods.

[wary gyro]

mm dunno if thats the case for me then, because without restarting my game it just took a couple restarts of the server to resolve the issue

[ionic surge]

this means either the client or server has different content, if this is still occurring, you can try reinstalling mods on both the server and the clients

[glad oriole]

Why is this happening?

[bright sable]

You mean very high hills?

[glad oriole]

No the whiteness

[bright sable]

Imported a satellite map yet?

[glad oriole]

No, how?

[bright sable]

That's what the materials transition to eventually.

You can find the option in your Terrain tool tab.

[glad oriole]

Where do I find a satellite map?

And will it mess up my current terrain?

[bright sable]

Depends. Is your terrain based on a real place?
And no, it won't mess up anything.

[glad oriole]

It's roughly based on a real place

I edited the terrain a bit

[bright sable]

Then you can export a satellite image of that real place (e. g. using GTT) and import that

[glad oriole]

What's the point?

[bright sable]

Far away from the camera, the materials are no longer rendered, instead the satmap is displayed.
If you don't import one, it'll just be white.

[glad oriole]

Do you have a site that I can get one?

[bright sable]

You can use the QGIS game terrain tools (https://gitlab.com/Adanteh/qgis-game-terrains)

Or just QGIS. Even something like Google Earth Pro if you wanted to.

Does anyone know how waypoints are selected in AIWaypointCycle:GetWaypoints()? It seems like its getting a random waypoint and i want it to set them in a specific order. Do I need to use the priority to do that instead of scripting?

[robust raven]

Hey is anyone able to help me with importing .P3D files using Enusion Blender Tools??
I am looking on the wiki and I just don't seem to understand how to set it up or how to enable workbench with net API

[gloomy vapor]

They should be added to the array in the order you placed them and you should be able to select them by using the array index.
So: cycleWaypointsArray[0] = 1. waypoint
cycleWaypointsArray[3] = 2. waypoint
B.t.w. GetWaypoints() should return the array containing all waypoints.

[warm lotus]

Anyone know what this means?

[unborn inlet]

which particular P3D?

[warm mirage]

So is there any info how we can fix this inventory20menu no slot VON issue that been happening since 1.2 it legit makes it unplayable with all the crashes

[remote bronze]

I am not fully informed on it, but if you see the error messages it would mean you did not crash. So its proably just logging stuff, but it can be ignored? Where do you see the relation with the slot?

[warm mirage]

Every single crash happen with opening and using an inventory and keep throwing that same error im not the only one as early stated by some others aswel with that same issue

I tryd to get you a report id but as soon as it crashes i cant even click on report ..

There is no link to an item as it happened with any inventory opening aka boxes stash Arsenal made sure to check if it happened with the same style items but its random happened on modded and base game items

You open inventory you crash you get back in and you can open that same inventory you crashed kn and see the items without issues .and ,5 min later same.hapoends again over and over again

[remote bronze]

That might be related to issues we have fixes for that are waiting for the updates to roll out. If you hard crash without crash reporter operning thats rather strange

[warm mirage]

I really hope man im gonna be straight here and say i never had this many crashes with any updates other then 1.2

Having those 100 of misloading mods with 1.0 update wasnt even as frustrating then 1.2

And sadly a lot of people that i know wont even play or touch arma atm as of all the issues

[warm mirage]

Is there any idea when that update might happen ?

[tardy depot]

Hello all, I'm a software developer taking my first step into enfusion modding - is there any sites other then the hobo wiki that provides information I should be reading/that you would recommend? I'm particularly interested in learning about the code/scripting side of things - as it seems the most complex from the outset.

[empty nexus]

hobo wiki?????

[tardy depot]

That wiki has seen better days. It needs a content manager to come in and clean it up and plug the gaps 🙂

[empty nexus]

I disagree but I just thought it was funny

[tardy depot]

All good, so aside from the wiki, any recommendations?

[empty nexus]

do stuff

if you have experience with statically typed languages you should be fine with whats on the wiki once you figure out how the entities and components work

[tardy depot]

Yea thats the plan. "do by learning" - I have 5 years of CPP exp, so its not terribly hard, but it would be nice to have a structured overview, flow, etc.

My wiki poking has been fairly low quality returns, but perhaps I'm just not finding the right pages.

[silk orbit]

Don't expect stuff given to you on a plate, experiment, look into BI code, embrace the suck.

[tardy depot]

Any value in looking at ARMA3 tutorials and porting them?

[silk orbit]

no, different engine, different paradigms in scripting language. Almost nothing translates from RV4 to Enfusion.

[tardy depot]

rgr. Yea, I'm not here like the milions others to ask for someone to code for me 😛 - I can take care of myself. Just wondering if there was a "Better website" or somthing from the vets.

[empty nexus]

you have it easy now

[silk orbit]

Not really/yet/we're still learning/BI shakes things a lot

[tardy depot]

Oh yea, Enfusion is so much better then ARMA3 tools.

[empty nexus]

in terms of there was no wiki 2 years ago when I started, I have now become the most unhinged scripter (ask arkensor and mario)

[tardy depot]

Where do you document your knowledge - I am assuming your bacon of bacon loadout editor fame?

[empty nexus]

nowhere since all the mods can be opened to see how they work

[silk orbit]

a lot of us weirdos are still stuck in RV4 😜

If you're looking for mainly a sensibly strucured script focused mods ACE Anvil is open source.

[nova delta]

@tardy depot feel free to ask me for any in depth scripting question, or obscure topics

[tardy depot]

I'm decent freinds with a guy who mods A3 and he have 1000's of hours into it, no interest to move forward yet. Old man stuck in his ways 😛

Thanks MarioE, just starting my learning journey.

[silk orbit]

I'm still feeling more comfortable in SQF, assets etc is great in Enfusion, but for pure gameplay features I can iterate like 10 times fater in A3. Althourgh I've been doing SQF commercialy for like 3-4 years so I might be bit biased

[tardy depot]

Yea I been reading ACE source code for structure/style learning. Since they know what they are doing.

[silk orbit]

Hint, we don't.

[tardy depot]

Shhhh. Keep the lie alive 🙂

idk how I made the parachute, I havent updated it for a while because I dont know how the code works

[tardy depot]

Sounds like my life programming for corporate 🙂 - If it hasn't blown up, don't kick the XO code.

Is Enfusion scripting C or CPP, off hand?

[empty nexus]

neither

it looks a little similar to c#

[tardy depot]

So its "scripting language via BIS"?

[keen rune]

One other thing not mentioned is dive into and understand the replication system. Super useful to know how that works when you find yourself hitting a brick wall debugging things working in the tools versus dedicated environment. Checkout the replication base classes in the tools and youll find tons of documentation

[tardy depot]

rgr. Good info. Replication is the server sending the updates to all players engine?

[keen rune]

Yeah. Replication syncs all the important information to “replicate” states from authority to others in the session for all entities. the server is the authority, though there are a few instances where clients gain ownership over entities and then the server/owner will compare results. If the difference is negligible the server accepts the owners states, otherwise overrides them (vehicles and characters, not sure if the owner concept is applied elsewhere)

Biki has a good overview of all the terminology for that

[tardy depot]

Brings me back to the ol' game dev days in school :). Client side for fast moving stuff, or the server will blow up, then check for h4xs 🙂

[junior owl]

Hi guys, probably a really dumb question but I'm new to Enfusion - my viewport seems to be limited to 3000m x/y/z, why is that?

No, I'm wrong it's only on the x & z axies

[trail parrot]

Did you ever fix this? I'm having the same issue

[tardy depot]

Keep reading. It sounds like he did.

[trail parrot]

Keep reading what lol even base game turrets are giving the error when I open them

[warm lotus]

Yeah it has to do with the animation graph used for the vehicle

[trail parrot]

I'm using a vanilla graph for it, are the vanilla graphs busted?

[warm lotus]

Actually this error I forgot didn't show up when I loaded my mod on a server but it shows in workbench oddly

What are you trying to do that involves this error?

[trail parrot]

For me it shows up in workbench, but works fine, and then I put it on my server and I crash the second I enter a seat

A PBR boat using BTR anim graphs

It's happening specifically on the turrets

There's 3 turrets total on one of the variants and they all have the anim controller initialization data is invalid (graph , node MasterControl, instance ) error

I've tried swtiching out graphs, and it keeps persisting no matter what I try with them

[warm lotus]

There might be an animation graph needed for either the turret or the gun itself

[trail parrot]

The thing that's stumping me, is that I duplicated the BTR parts and worked off of them, so I can't figure out how this could be happening, even if I open up the original vanilla BTR I get the errors from it. So it seems like no matter what I try here I'm going to recieve the errors lol

[warm lotus]

Is it possible to port an Arma 3 model into enfusion?

[jade current]

Not if you didn't create the A3 model.

If it's from your own mod then sure. If it's from someone else's or from B.I. then no.

[warm lotus]

What if its from arma 3's vanilla assets

[jade current]

Then it's made by B.I. and you can't port it.

[warm lotus]

Is it a licensing issue?

[silk orbit]

Licensing issue and you can't import binarised p3d too.

[warm lotus]

Even if its still only used in another arma game?

Is there no way to keep it binarised?

[silk orbit]

No, you can't port BI models from A3 to Enfusion.

[silk oak]

Hi everyone, I need some information to avoid risking any type of ban.
I would like to have only one type of camouflage from a mod that contains many of them and therefore forces me to depend on a very large mod in terms of GB. is it allowed to take only one xob object from a mod via an external program (like pak explorer), so that the dependency is not created and the whole mod is not needed? We are talking about an XOB object that cannot be modified in any way with Blender or similar. I hope I explained myself..

[unborn inlet]

you are not

[unborn inlet]

At this very moment it isn't. The workbench allows you to use .p3d files that are in mlod (non binarized) format only. There are plans BI has to release (parts) of A3 as a datapack, similar to how they did with A1 and A2 some 10 years ago.

[glad drum]

maybe a noob issue. The conflict main base is not set, and getMainBase() returns null. How can i address it?

[viscid marlin]

when you put down the military base prefab and click on it you should be able to tick is hq, that’s how i setup my mobs

[glad drum]

not that case. selectHQ() is working, and I can respawn from HQ. So it's weird the getmainbase() returns null.

[glad drum]

the issue just fix itself after rebooting system

[warm lotus]

What does it mean when a model has rigged geometry in relation to what that means for the enfusion game engine?

[unborn inlet]

rephrase.

[warm lotus]

I was looking at models online like cgtrader and in the model information there's something called "Rigged Geometry " and if the model has that or not.

I'm asking what that is and is it important to have to for use within the enfusion game engine?

[empty nexus]

you need to learn 3d modeling to a level sufficient to answer those questions, even before you do any model importing for the game

but I would say no unless it's rigged specifically for reforger, but in that case it cannot be sold

[warm lotus]

Well im asking these questions to learn more. Trying to make something that other modders don't seem to want to make

[empty nexus]

yes but you dont know what rigging is yet, so once you have some experience with it you will be able to easily answer this question

[empty nexus]

actually it can be fine if it's rigged for purposes other than to mimic things already in the game like characters

[warm lotus]

So if a model is rigged, there's a chance it can't be used in arma? Is it possible to edit the geometry to make it usable?

[unborn inlet]

it means that the meshes are rigged to bones / there is a setup for animating the parts.

[unborn inlet]

not necesary

[empty nexus]

once you figure out 3d modeling basics those questions will be easy to answer for you, and those 3d modeling basics are not really reforger specific

[warm lotus]

I'm trying to implement an MH-6 little bird which is a big project that I'm using but learning as I go with it

[warm lotus]

I'm mainly asking if enfusion requires the model to have anything specific to fully import the bones and colliders.

[empty nexus]

yes, in order to import bones the model needs to have bones, and in order to import colliders the model has to have colliders

[warm lotus]

And what if it does but in enfusion it shows no bones or colliders?

[empty nexus]

then you did not select import bones or whatever it was called in the import settings, for colliders I'm guessing not setup correctly

so there is this neat tool called blender you can use to manipulate the bones, create colliders in the 3d model

you will need to learn it (to some level) to be even remotely competent at putting assets in the game

it doesnt have to be blender, but it's the recommended tool

[warm lotus]

Import settings in enfusion?

[empty nexus]

yes the wiki has pages that cover fbx import

option is called Export skinning

example https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Character_Gear_Creation/Vest/Asset_Preparation#Importing_model
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:FBX_Import#Import_Process_in_the_Workbench
also same page has information about colliders

[warm lotus]

Is it still true that we should be using blender 3.6 instead of anything newer?

[empty nexus]

no idea, I don't use blender

[warm lotus]

Would you know?

[empty nexus]

wiki says 3.6 LTS

[warm lotus]

Yes but based off of the images on wiki, seems like some things changed making me think the page is outdated

Ill just follow whats on there anyways

Hey all. Trying to make the rear seat in the UAZ usable and I keep getting the seat is "obstructed". I suspect it has something to do with cage for the PKM blocking the seat? Has anyone encountered this before?

[warm mirage]

how can i make it that my bipod can be deployed and mounted to the ground like m60 ?

[stark acorn]

[warm mirage]

and where do i need to add this as it doenst tell me under what comp

[stark acorn]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Weapon_Creation/Prefab_Configuration#Adding_Deployment_Points

[warm mirage]

found it ....

[stark acorn]

SCR_WeaponAttachmentsStorageComponent contains deployment related parameters in AimingModifierAttributes class which is part of Custom Attributes. Over there it is possible to define Deployment Points for both weapon body (f.e. when resting rifle on front section of the weapon without any bipod attached whatsoever ) and for integrated bipod. Since Sample Weapon doesn't have integrated weapon, PKM setup will be used to explain this part.

[warm mirage]

[prime wyvern]

anyone give me a hand with how you assign sounds to switches and horns?

[tardy depot]

How far out do people think we are to dynamic terrain deformation / being able to have proper trenchwork?

[visual blaze]

Arma 4, i say that as there are way more important things the devs are working on. And dynamic terrain deformation is likely at the very bottom of that list. Also it depends what we view as dynamic, if i place down say a bunker in game master and it cuts a certain sized chunk out of the terrain to make space for it sure. But if we are talking about a tank with engineering attachments making a larger dent in a dirt hill than a group of infantry with shovels; Then i doubt anytime soon.

[tardy depot]

Yeah, I don't think we're going to get volumetric terrain. Computers are strong enough now but, If we want to have 200-person servers which is a key selling point of ARMA It's not going to happen.

I was thinking more like, players putting down buildings or trenches and then the server going "poof". So they're not standing underground.

Do we have a time frame for Arma 4 - 2/3 years?

[visual blaze]

oh yeah, that would definitely work fine, if it was an attached property of the object when it gets placed down in game maste. Only thing is making the terrain file editable during use

and for arma 4 my money is that the early access will be 2026

[tardy depot]

Yeah I could see something like a dynamic height map being the easy proxy.

[visual blaze]

as in basic, basic and then the actually fleshed out game 2028

[tardy depot]

Jeepers. I'm going to be so old before Arma 4 comes out.

[visual blaze]

yeah, just would need to make sure game master doesnt go crazy with bunkers 😂

[visual blaze]

thats just my prediction im not a dev 🥲

[tardy depot]

Yeah I'm just trying to figure out the basics of scripting, but I'd be interested to see how much assets I can put in the game and still have it not blow up with 200 players.

[visual blaze]

the good old trial and error is what i present to you

[tardy depot]

Exactly that's the goal. The devs already set to the limits on the game master mode so they must have some knowledge as to when the engine starts to lag.

But considering how much view distance this game has. The amount of things that can be on the screen is quite excessively high.

So I think with good despawn/ zone occlusion, You could probably get the assets into the thousands.

[visual blaze]

also depends on the quality of the assets

and how well they are optimised, also i definitely see a simple update yeeting a dynamic heightmap out the window and back to stage 0

[tardy depot]

Such is life I guess. I don't have a lot of experience with modding, I do have a lot of experience with working with other devs. And feature creep/ other people destroying your work is extremely common 😁

[visual blaze]

yeah sadly, im trying to learn C# and im slowly starting to realise/understand why mods mush themselves after updates 😂

[tardy depot]

C# is easy peezy. If you got programming questions just ask. Old C, now that will give you some chest hair 😛

[visual blaze]

C# is the start point for me, as i really need to learn python as well at some point. But i figured i would start with C# to get my head around how code works and try my hand at enfusion scripting along the way

[tardy depot]

I wonder if python is closer to C# or C/C++.

[visual blaze]

i also wonder that as well. might need to research

[tardy depot]

Either way. Learning time for you.

Python to me feels like Hobo C++. thats to say its just a reduced, made faster version that focuses mostly on "higher level" libs - but that's kinda how everything is these days. No one is writing core code anymore, not unless your doing some hardware/software integrations (or a game engine).

[visual blaze]

agreed, i will finish the current book im using for C# and then checkout C++ probably, only time will tell with my learning speed

[tardy depot]

C# is managed/reduced C++ - so much nicer to work with but takes away a lot of the power.

[visual blaze]

never realised that part, so im basically using the watered down version

then that begs the question why isn't enforce more closely related to C++ or why didnt they stick to SQL

[tardy depot]

Sorta. Basically C++ claim to fame is that you can get right down to the CPU instructions with memory control - meaning nothing stands in your way while programming, but it also means you have to create tons and tons of "infrastructure" to build up from that level, to a useful easy level.

C# starts that the useful easy level, so you can get to building the "feature" and not the supports that let you get there. Sorta like not having to building the game engine (C++ starting point), but just adding the feature (C# starting point). That and you don't need to keep track of your memory useage (persay) as the garbage collector handles that - so "no" mem access errors and 1337 h4x and exploits.

C++ would give them much more power, as well it is familar (to the developers) and closely resembles the backend (c++) - so the "scripting" access being C++-ish, is a natrual and smart choice.

Giving us raw engine access (being able to write core C++ and inject it into the engine) would be best, but as intellectual property owners, they probally dont want us stealing the engine and making $$$ selling bootleg ARMA5

[visual blaze]

that makes sense, especially from the bootleg perspective, you know some dodgy milsim group would just make their own arma 4.5 😂 . I guess its the difference between a low end and high end language

[tardy depot]

Canadian Army has been doing that for at least 10 years 😛

[visual blaze]

👀 , i mean you guys did pioneer war crimes so i dont think Arma 4.5 is a stretch for you guys

[tardy depot]

Well its more like ARMA 3.5 + Crimes of War 🙂

[visual blaze]

the Crimes make it arma 4. something

[tardy depot]

Booby trapping food is time honored tradition.

[visual blaze]

cant forget those refugee camps in dresden cicrca 1944 ( past tense needed)

i just hope people dont actually make missions of stuff like that in arma 4

from what ive seen the BI moderation on mods as a whole when it relates to sensitive stuff (Middle east, Ukraine) has been more enforced for reforger than Arma 3, which is good. But i just hope they dont over do it

[tardy depot]

Well Suicide bombing and the like is Operation Flashpoint onwards. Everyone loves blowing up bases.

[visual blaze]

true, time honored tradition

[tardy depot]

As middle Europe devs, I can see not wanting to screw with the eastern players and the large RU base - more then a NA dev would care.

[visual blaze]

yeah exactly, surprisingly large Russian player base. Which makes for some interesting servers and missions 👀 , from my understanding there is a more hands off approach to Ukraine maps than towards Gaza maps which instantly get taken down, and people threatened with bans, also i havent seen a Taiwan or Formosa map, i wonder why

[tardy depot]

I wonder where BIS stands on China. CSAT was a taste of (what will likely be the case in 20 years)

[visual blaze]

Tencent has a share in them for y-lander, now idk if there is a degree of control that carries over to arma reforger and arma 4

i would hope not

[tardy depot]

ah yes. Intresting.

Well, we will find out in time I guess. Until then. I'm reading thousands and thousands of lines of scripts - and I wish to expire :). I keep telling myself, I will eventually get to the fun parts. Filthy lies 🙂

[visual blaze]

that is coding in a nutshell 99% reading stuff 1% writing stuff

i wish you luck with that 🫡

[tardy depot]

Once you get good, its mostly writing, then rewriting 😛

and thanks. I'm sure it will "click" eventually.

Has anyone been experiencing problems with FileIO since 1.2?

Specifically opening a file in append mode with FileIO.OpenFile(m_sLogPath, FileMode.APPEND); that is confirmed to exist by FileIO.FileExists?

[remote bronze]

What exactly is your problem with it? what is the log path?

[chrome kelp]

I'll get you the code momentarily once at the PC. Tldr, just logging server data to a file when players connect, kills, etc...

[chrome kelp]

stubbed

class CRF_Logging: SCR_BaseGameModeComponent
{
  string m_sLogPath = "$profile:COAServerLog.txt";
  override void OnWorldPostProcess(World world)
    {
        super.OnWorldPostProcess(world);
        if (!Replication.IsServer())
            return;
        
        if (FileIO.FileExists(m_sLogPath))
            m_handle = FileIO.OpenFile(m_sLogPath, FileMode.APPEND);
        else
            m_handle = FileIO.OpenFile(m_sLogPath, FileMode.WRITE);

        PrintFormat("CRF Handle: %1",m_handle);
        m_sMissionName = GetGame().GetMissionName();
        m_handle.WriteLine("mission,beginning," + m_sMissionName);    
    }
}

Prints added for debugging post 1.2. Nothing changed except m_handle now returns a NULL instead of a 0 if it doesn't open file

TLDR; handle is null, so null pointer instance issue.

https://github.com/CoalitionArma/Coalition-Reforger-Framework/blob/release/scripts/Game/Systems/Logging/CRF_Logging_Server.c

[remote bronze]

you can always use append even if the file does not exists it would create it. Not sure why it would not open the handle. Is this windows or linux?

[chrome kelp]

Windows

[smoky sinew]

I would say closer to C# more so because both C# and Python are high level and compile to bytecode (afaik)

[empty nexus]

well python is not statically typed, so like, a pretty different experience

[smoky sinew]

Thats true

also, c# cannot do emojis as variable names, python can

We (Jacob Mango and I) had that discord setup at a time where this one here was solely focussed on A3 and no interest in AR existed. By now for AR this discord is much more relevant and the only one AR devs are actively reading.

So I have my other map that has lots of stuff in it with everything setup and I want to edit it. But I also don't want to change the original file and project. How do I essentially copy and paste this project into another?

[warm mirage]

use github

so you can make multiple branches and if oyu happy with it and i works you can merge them togheter

[wheat grove]

Enfusion modders was great as a resource for DayZ, this discord seems to be much better though for AR and you get more help and less pretentiousness as well that I experienced there..

However if I still did stuff for DayZ(which I might if movement speed could ever be edited) EM is a better resource for that game

i see the endpoint the client uses but i don't think it would be very fun to login to steam everytime to get a jwt 😭

[empty nexus]

yes it would technically be reverse engineering

[ocean niche]

oh ur the only other person who asked my question huh 😭

[blazing patrol]

During the day the sky is normal, but at night the sky is looking like this, I changed something and now I don't know what it is...

the clouds are extremely bright

nvm i found the problem, inside EnvProbe i need change to global place

about 1 in 3 times I launch the arland campaign in WB I am able to join a team but not a squad

Happens when I just load in SP, or when I load in localhost with peertool

After, when I stop & play it again I am hit with VMEs for AddSupportStation

This happened across different projects for me yesterday and has happened more than a few times today

Only changes in this project are two overriden prefabs, basegamemode & defaultplayercontroller. Changes are minimal and shouldn't effect anything but OnPlayerKilled

meant to post in #reforger_workbench , but is what it is

gonna post on the tracker. If you have the GameMode_Base prefab open in the workbench, not world editor, while also loading a mission in the world editor it will cause this

I have had that issue too

I just switch between gm and player couple times and it gets fixed

[twin finch]

See the ticket, close all prefabs in the workbench. Open/Close WorldEditor or restart workbench

Unsure what prefabs it effects, I doubt it matters if you've got cars open, but I wouldn't have the gamemode prefab open or other similar prefabs when you open the worlde ditor

@fickle stag Do you know if Shrapnel for Reforger is no longer working? I have tested for quite a while and do not see any new effects, decals, or anything to indicate that any fragments are being cast from any explosive device

[tardy depot]

I can tell you that you still get injured radius by grenades. Whether or not they're actually spawning fragmentation, I don't know if the code goes that far.

Hey so I have a scope for my M3 MAAWS, I've been doing the ranging by hand (please kill me) and it has various different rounds.
Is there a way to calculate ballistics for scopes? It attaches to the maaws along a rail.
I've manually "processed" HEAT 551 and HEDP 502, but plan on implementing smoke and HE 448/441 which both have different ballistic charateristics. Anyone know a way of doing that?

And I guess second question, because my SightRangeInfo list is looking really long lol, but is there any way to make it so the sight changes with the round inserted? Doubt there is a solution for this one given most weapons have one round

forgive me if this is the wrong place, but I'm not sure where to put this question for scope component ranging/ballistics

[tardy depot]

So I don't know where it is, but ammunition has a really cool ballistic slope chart. The system is actually pretty awesome in reforger for ammo and ammo subtypes.

Give it a Google of some sort and see if you can get it to show up.

Oh and I totally misread what you said. You're not looking to change the ballistics, but have them affect the scope. You could probably do that in script. It would be a lot of work though.

[unkempt panther]

haha script haha
I'm screwed

Eh I'm going to be lazy and make the HE and Smoke round have the same ballistics, rounds look the same
Sue me

[tardy depot]

In reality though, optics generally have multiple markings for different ammo types. The rpg7 modern optics

[unkempt panther]

Yes the RPG7 is wonderful for that

[tardy depot]

Could you make fake optics, for your m3? Or how is it done in reality

[unkempt panther]

M3 MAAWS ranging is done on the PFCD, the scope looks like this.

[tardy depot]

Is there a switch in reality? That lowers the arcs?

[unkempt panther]

the way it works is you pop the bottom left thing out according to theround you got, then dial the rangefrom there
PFCD kinda cool

[tardy depot]

So yeah you could do that in scripting. When it detects the ammo type, swap the optic or swap the aiming to xyz. I don't know too much about the second.

But yeah I'd just be lazy make it all the same. If somebody calls you out on it then fix it. Realistically people would expect all the ammunition to fire the same. And technically, You could just pretend that it's really fast adjusting for each ammo 😜

[fickle stag]

Shrapnel doesnot work. I have plan to remade it

[tardy depot]

@fickle stag is it in the game code? I vaugly recall reading some source code that spawns real shap - or was I dreaming?

[graceful sun]

Thank you, I look forward to it

[inland lance]

You can use the zeroing generator but it’s not 100% accurate close range

Yea and you need a scope for each round atm . Doesn’t seem like changing zeroing data for round loaded is possible atm . At least not with vannila functionality

[unkempt panther]

I'm not sure how to use rhe generator
And my work around I'd past 1000 it resets to 100 for HEDP at rhe moment

[prime wyvern]

How do I export my materials and textures I have in blender to the workbench?

[glacial plover]

I don't see the reforger_server channel
