enfusion_generic

[digital sluice]

I'd say it just incentivizes people to not learn from their own mistakes, or learn the coding language in the first place instead hoping it generates a "working" mod. Additionally, as Arkensor mentioned, it just ends up causing more strain on the devs and community helpers when trying to address incorrect code generated from it.

I won't personally stop you, ofc, but I'm going by the wishes of the development team

[keen forge]

Well its all up to what you use it for though. If you use it lazy like you mention, then yeah it will will not incentives learning but i dont have hopes for those people anyway they wont sit down and learn. But i want to have a tool that can help you understand at your own pace, and i find that very usefull with ai as well as finding information for you. Thats what im aiming for, like the example image i showed. Where it got the information from the wiki that i had fed to it. where i can ask what IK is and get a reasonable answer and understanding from it instead of having to aimlessly look for it if i didnt know where to go

[brittle lynx]

How do I create a projectile hitbox for my building, I tried using object properties but it didnt work

[neon gyro]

Is there a way to remove the vanilla vehicles without breaking everything? Because I downloaded a mod that removed the cars, but it also removed all the trucks

[tidal adder]

Anyone have a clue where the character speed, acceleration and weight files are located at or what they are named?

[dense sail]

I'm working on a mod that allows players to set their own name using a chat command. Its only got use in milsim servers, obviously would be abused by randoms. I have it working on for the most part, with chat names and name tags. Right now the issue I'm having is getting clients to update once someone else sets their name. It registers for the host, either dedicated or player server, but clients never see the changes. I assume it's something to do with how I am using RPC

Also if this mod already exists please let me know

Has Anyone made a Vest for reforger before having a bit of trouble

[lofty owl]

Anyone know why my model looks like hot garbage in reforger but it looks fine in tools?

[earnest sundial]

What's your texture file named?

[modern oak]

Hello, is anyone able to point me to a re-texturing guide please? I'd like to change the texture for my custom variant of the M112 Demo Block

I've worked out how to change the overall colour to red, but this makes all of the writing red too - I'd like a red colour with white lettering, is that possible?

[muted ore]

Cant find the Weight Paint Mode, its not showing up

[lofty owl]

Why

[stark acorn]

you need to be in edit mode

[earnest sundial]

Enfusion tools will interpret how to display, use and store your texture based on its file name

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Textures Textures – Arma Reforger - Bohemia Interactive Community

Usually you use a _bcr texture for base colour, with roughness stored on the alpha channel

[earnest sundial]

You’d have to take a screenshot of the vanilla texture and recolour it in photoshop

[modern oak]

Ooooo okay didn't think it was as simple as that - so I'm guessing screenshot the BCR, edit as I wish, make sure it's the same dimensions etc. etc. And then find a way to import back into Workbench as the appropriate filetype?

[muted ore]

i think ive done it

My vest now has the Vortex groups from the Reorger Sample Vest

But still have the same problem

[earnest sundial]

Yup basically that!

[lofty owl]

I have them in the right channels I think but they’re named cover and helmet

[lofty owl]

alpha channel?

[snow yew]

how can i ensure my entity initializes before other entities, if thats even possible?

[earnest sundial]

You need to name it 'name_BCR' for a base colour/roughness map and 'name_NMO' for normal/metalness map

[earnest sundial]

kindly, this is where you need to learn and understand the basics of how colour channels in tools like photoshop work - this is a short google away

[noble river]

Does anyone know how to go about taking off the saving restrictions on combat ops for saving gear thats not from your faction. Do I have to copy all the items into the US box to be able to save them?

[drifting bridge]

does the arsenal config not exist anymore in enfusion? I cant find it to get my item to populate in the arsenal

[sage raven]

its Entity lists now

[drifting bridge]

Where do i find that?

[sage raven]

not at my PC right now, but just search Entity List and it'll pop up

should be in the Config folder

[drifting bridge]

Possibly?

[sage raven]

yep, those are it

[drifting bridge]

So i need to put it in each one, if i remember right

[sage raven]

the arsenal one is the InventoryItems

[sage raven]

yeah just check the settings and added classes for the comparable item you add to your new faction's list (or override the US/USSR lists)

[drifting bridge]

If i only want it appearing in the US box, i should be fine only doing the inventory items catalog, right?

[sage raven]

correct, override the US inventoryItems_entityCatalog to your project, then add it to the multi list in the overridden config file

if its a weapon, put it in the weapon list, if its clothing, put it in clothing, etc.

just make sure its configured right, it'll need some settings tweaked so it appears and is the right supply cost, etc

[drifting bridge]

Yeah, ive done all the stuff in the item, added it to list, still not showing

oh wait, mightve found the issue

[sage raven]

double check the list item type and make sure the settigns are right yeah

there a couple like little checkboxes or whatever you need to enable

literally just expand the basic US M16 and compare how that is set up

[drifting bridge]

yeah, im adding a hat, so trying to copy other headgear items

but something is still keeping it from showing

[sage raven]

make sure you save the config and reload the world editor

and even close the workbench and re-open it, that sometimes fixes any jank

[drifting bridge]

Still nothing

[sage raven]

well headwear aren't attachments lol

[drifting bridge]

sorry, its set to default. I changed it after i took the pic

[sage raven]

did you save the config then check in a reloaded world editor, like GM arland?

[drifting bridge]

Yes, it is possible it isnt showing up cause there isnt an icon set within the item?

Idk if that is for inventory icon or arsenal icon

[sage raven]

also, is the config overridden for the original US config file or did you like duplicate

[drifting bridge]

Dup

[sage raven]

uhhhh, maybe? i haven't messed around with custom items, but when i transfer stuff from one mod to another, it just sorta is plug and play

im sorta at the limit of my knowledge here, other than basic troubleshooting

sorry i can't help much more

[sage raven]

Do the override version

[drifting bridge]

Its fine, i appreciate the help. I will see if override makes a difference

[sage raven]

duplicate doesn't set the right permissions to the new file and plug it into the Faction config

yeah it needs to be override, or swap the entity list in the faction config to your new one

[drifting bridge]

im assuming it needs to be the last one?

[sage raven]

correct

inventory items use the last one, everything else (character, vehicle, etc) use the first

[drifting bridge]

and this first one

[sage raven]

uhhh, yeah i think so

hover over the entry in the comparable hat in the US list and it'll show what classes to use

[drifting bridge]

what it is isnt an avilable option lol

[sage raven]

then you're hovering over the wrong entry line lol

the Item itself will one thing (your first image), the settings in the item entry will be one or more of things in the second pic

[drifting bridge]

ah, i see

It was indeed the override function that was the issue

You are a G. Saved me a headache. I was going crazy looking for the arsenal config

[sage raven]

yeah all the tutorials on the wiki are out of date

[drifting bridge]

Ive come to realize that... It was a struggle getting this clothing item to work. Wiki makes the headger face 180 the wrong direction and the armature is out of date

[sage raven]

was killing me for like a week until i cross referenced like 3 differnt youtube videos and was able to pick and choose the files to makeand settings i needed to edit

and those youtube videos are also like 1-2 years old lol

shout out to ActionBeard and TPMTactical for having decent tutorial vids, those guys helped me a lot

[drifting bridge]

I was lucky enough to have misfits creator help me fix the armature and all that. Man is clutch for helping

[sage raven]

Bacon was helpful too, and i just had the British forces mod enabled as a dependency even before i got permission to use it officialy just so i could compare how shit was set up properly

[drifting bridge]

Now i have to do this same thing 24 more times for the additions to the clothing... wish me luck. lmao... Once again, thank you!

[sage raven]

ive since gotten permission and have started additing their gear to the mod lists, but yeah, just adding a mod as a dependency to compare to and then removing it before you publish (provided nothing from the mod was added to to yours) is a valid way to check your work

[sage raven]

ehh, 24 will only take like a half hour

throw on a podcast or whatever and mindlessly click checkboxes lol

ive been doing that for the last two weeks adding shit to my entity lists

its so fucking tedious lol, i wish there was a better way

[drifting bridge]

Oh yeah. they didnt make this process easy

the art of the duplicate button will massively save time

[sage raven]

yeah ive gotta do that for vehicles

theres no way to set an existing vehicle to be a new faction other than Dupe or Override, then changing the faction key in two places and the faction labels

[drifting bridge]

Lotta work. Now i just need to discover if i can adjust the icon that displays in the arsenal

[sage raven]

that might be broken currently, thats the Entity Asset Viewer thing, and its sorta buggy right now

at least for some vanilla gear, makes backpacks look like boots, and pants look like belts

i put in a bug report on the feedback tracker last week

[drifting bridge]

Ah okay

[fervent cypress]

I created a mod that dynamically moves weapon attachments based on the state of other attachments. In short: Long Barrel = Muzzle Device pushed further away, short barrel = muzzle device pushed closer.

Today's problem: this function doesn't run by default in MP like it does in enfusion.

In MP:
First Person ✅
Third Person ✅
On the ground ❌
Inventory Menu ❌
Mods like Bacon Loadout ❌

I'm thinking that if I can get it to run when its on the ground, it'll also work in inventory or with bacon.

Has anyone gotten scripts to run on weapons when they aren't in the player's hands?

[empty nexus]

You need to do the MP part in script, that's pretty much it

[lime zenith]

Got a question so my enfusion hasn't been working for a bit now and can't find a fix I can open a project and it'll show it's starting to open up but then it'll never fully load I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling checking file integrity and etc does anyone know a potential fix?

[keen forge]

do you still have an issue with this?

[fervent cypress]

Yeah I have no idea what to target with the script as it's already set up to do it based on the attachment as is.

[keen forge]

@fervent cypress ok i have something we could try if you like. You see my biggest project yet now has been to creat a mod helper AI tool(qwen3 model) that can go through documents and code. Ive collected all 5000 .c files from arma and 6000 api code with their whole wiki website and added them to a database where the AI can retrive the information from. Like this for example, asking the question "Why is my imported weapon missing bones and attachment points in Arma Reforger?" it correctly find one of the possible causes, the information about export skinning and export scene hierarchy that is ofc the usual reason you dont see them.

[quartz slate]

Hey there guys, I've tried my hand at reforger modding for the first time, managed to import a grenade model, scale is ok, texutre is ok, i used a M67 frag prefab, all I did was to change the meshbody, and here's my problem, when i try to throw the grenade it stops and hovers mid-air

Where should I look for the problem?

[digital sluice]

would look at the RigidBody component and/or the colliders themselves on the mesh you imported

[stuck marlin]

Everyone keeps saying you need change the mission. But where is the mission located?

[empty nexus]

In the missions folder

[stuck marlin]

Being that i am editing US Campaign Config what area do I need to edit?

This is the only missions folder

[empty nexus]

What is it that you are actually trying to do?

[stuck marlin]

Update the US_Campaign.conf with Predefined Squads. To which, It works in World Editor. But, Not in the actual game. I am told by TPM that I have to update Missions. But, I haven't any idea what he means. There is multiple confs there and, Eden being the map I am on. I open it. But, I don't see anything about updating the faction.

[stuck marlin]

I created the presets. But, His video doesn't show him editing anything pertaining to a missions folder. (I directly message him on discord w/his consent)

[stuck marlin]

First Message #enfusion_generic message

Second Message #enfusion_generic message

[empty nexus]

But it works in world editor?

[stuck marlin]

Yes

It makes no sense. He actually shows it working in the game. He is saying I am missing a step. Yet, I have combed his video thoroughly. The only step I haven't done was the group flags.

But even then, It still works in world editor. I even removed ALL mods.

Here is what he says.

[empty nexus]

Right so you may want to override the faction that is present in the mission you are playing

What is Allied_Campaign?

[stuck marlin]

It is my campaign. I tried using Allied and US before _Campaign.conf

For the faction squads

This is the missions file I am using

[empty nexus]

There is no file called allied in the game so I dont know what that does etc

[stuck marlin]

I just renamed it.

[empty nexus]

So I guess this is technically a new faction, so it needs to be added to the faction manager inside the world/mission

[stuck marlin]

I see. He didn't explain that.

Let me try world editor

[indigo wharf]

Does anyone have a tutorial to create a prefab that can be built from the command post? I've been struggling with this since this morning 😄

I want to build my own prefab/asset, not modify an existing one.

[fathom hill]

how can I override a script that I took from another asset? so when my mod is downloaded the game uses my and not theirs?

[bright sable]

Generally, most script overrides call super which will result in both being executed - at least that is good practice to maintain compatibility.
If they don't, that can indeed mean not all of them get executed, however it depends on load order (the method from the mod loaded first is "in the bottom" and gets called through super in the second mods "top" override, or potentially not).
You can influence this order by dependencies as that means something has to be loaded first.
However as I said, ideally this should not be a problem at all if everyone calls super.

[fathom hill]

anyone here using AR Tools on Linux and has solved problem with world editor flashing when hovering mouse over it?

I'm sure I spoke to someone about this and the easiest fix was to just put the prefabs underground 🤣

[radiant latch]

Im a little new to map creation on reforger but could anyone help me out? im working on a map right now and ive run into quite a road block, anyone know anything about arma reforger tools and how i can fix this

[modern oak]

What is the actual issue though 🤔🤔

[radiant latch]

Im trying to make a base on the Takistan map, but it is only a mod download and im not sure how to get it into the editor if that makes sense

[drowsy hollow]

Anyone know the makers of the SWAG infiltration mod?

[modern oak]

Yeah so you can add it as a dependency in the editor and then you'll have the world in there to create a sub scene of as usual if that's what you meant?

[radiant latch]

Yes, so how would i get to the dependency option, do i have to make a new world?

[modern oak]

When you're in your main project screen it will be in options and there you'll be able to add addons

[wild mauve]

@neon gyro Create your own prefab if this is not possible then "Hide" the unwanted objects by disabling the mesh object and rigid components or like Regular Clouds said move them below the ground.

[wary rock]

hi guys, sorry if my question is too "obvious" but I do not have experience with mods yet, just a regular player. I noticed that modded servers are too unstable, like constant disconnections or other server related issues. So I wonder if community can prepare good and different mods, what about server side? Is it possible to write for example my custom implementation on lets say Rust for instance? So I can get a more stable experience comparing to existing solutions except WCS lol

Or it's impossible to do and this things is internal so we can't control them?

because theoretically as I see it, it would be interesting idea to me to experiment with server setups, and then go to do some moddings if I will be able to achieve it lol. Stable experience is more preferable to me at this step, as well as technical interest to create more stable server implementation which will cost lower and provide better gaming experience to players

[wild mauve]

@neon gyro look for a component that has the resources settings.

You can change the regeneration rate there.

I will send a pic tomorrow if you need.

[digital sluice]

Mixture of both, I'd say. Vanilla issues and mod issues present server issues. If I'm not wrong, I don't believe strictly server mods (where the player doesnt have to download the mod) are possible.

Best we can do really is inform modders on how to properly develop a mod and give feedback through the feedback tracker to the game devs on what to improve and what issues exist. As long as modding exists, there will always be not great™ developed mods. Best to learn and educate others on what to do correctly (having cohesive documentation from the devs also helps)

[wary rock]

so server side is closed source and we can't control it, right?

just wondering maybe I can do a better setup like an experiment, like integration with custom server implementation or wrapper around official one, so I can theoretically offer better session & packet management and other stuff

[neon gyro]

I tried changing the part where it says it's for regenerating them from both containers and even the sign, but it doesn't change anything — it's still 100 every 10 seconds :c

[digital sluice]

All we have available is what is through the Workbench that can loaded as a mod through the Workshop, that is all. No loading DLLs or custom executables or anything of that sort

[neon gyro]

There's a lack of updated info on YouTube and the wiki about almost everything XD

[wild mauve]

Yeah. I know the struggle regarding getting info, just mess around with things. The workbench is very powerful and you can change almost everything just need to find a way.

Are you using duplicated or inherit or override prefab ?

[tidal adder]

Is there a way to make encumbrance speed fall off not as bad while keeping it ruthlessly bad after 70-80kg?

[neon gyro]

I'm trying to make my arsenal with Status Quo, but even though I disable some weapons and change their price, the changes don't take effect

[lament sleet]

Because you are using wcs_arsenal and it is overwriting your configs

[modern sleet]

how do i add a action logic to a rock so my players can mine cooper and other stuff

[warm mirage]

is there ways to move the location of a weapon while its not beeing hold , aka like how its on the back atm, if i would like to move it to a side sling or on a chest rig

[noble river]

What could be causing this? I have conflict PvE scenario going on Everon and it all works great in workbench test but when I upload it and run it on the dedicated server it spawns me in the ocean and it doesn't show any base characters. I'm using WCS loadout Editor and it looks like this.

[stoic stone]

I would like to modify the vehicle spawn rank, could someone please tell me where I start? Which component or script is responsible for the modification? Thank you!!!

[twilit barn]

I don't think the loadout editor would cause that issue, unless removing that mod fixes the issue.

[twilit barn]

Override the prefab and edit it in the editable vehicle component

[noble river]

yeah what gramps just said, if there is a base model try that first and see if it changes it for the rest of the models.

[noble river]

yeah I tried to take it off and same thing. I'm thinking its either load order on the server side, or some other mod that's causing it.

[stoic stone]

Could you send me a picture of this or something similar? As soon as you can, it doesn't have to be now.

[stoic stone]

That was amazing, thank you so much.

[stoic stone]

I got it, thanks again

[noble river]

Well I found out its something to do with TAO mod that is used by the GRS Weapons pack.
RESOURCES : GetResourceObject @"{DFFC0A34A77ADCB4}anims/workspaces/player/player_main.agr"
ANIMATION : AnimGraph load @"{DFFC0A34A77ADCB4}anims/workspaces/player/player_main.agr"
ANIMATION (W): Animation graph {DFFC0A34A77ADCB4}anims/workspaces/player/player_main.agr contains errors:

when I take this off, everything works as normal. The base players show up and you can spawn like normal. Not sure why but I guess I have to ditch it for now. It was the most requested mod too haha.

[languid prawn]

Got an issue with my faction loadouts, i havent messed with the SCR_CharacterIdentityComponent but for some reason it won't randomize my characters so everybody is has the same body. As far as i can see this should only be a issue if you use the Override option in SCR_CharacterIdentityComponent, as far as i can see this is not enabled on my loadouts but the issue it there nonetheless. Anybody got any ideas as how to fix this issue?

[steel plume]

What name does a compartment slot need to be to set default occupants for the back of a transport truck? Just trying to pre-place characters seated in the back of an m923a1

[steel plume]

The individual cargo prefab (the back of the truck) has the passenger slots setup already so i just edited and overrode that prefab to have default occupants for each slot and swapped the full truck prefabs cargo slot with the new cargo prefab

[round gorge]

is it just me having this visual bug in the server list or is this actually smth everyone has? lol

[neon gyro]

I swear by all the gods that wcs_arsenal isn't loaded, neither on my server nor in the project

"Hi, I have a question regarding the HQ supplies. I increased the starting supplies to 2000, for example, and these boxes appear around the HQ. Does anyone know how to make those boxes not appear?"

[jade current]

There is absolutely no way that your mod or your server is using a config from a mod that isn't used on your server or as a dependency of your mod.

[velvet moat]

getting this error spammed when loading an old scenario

[digital sluice]

Tbf, Everon is a bit of a larger map

[vapid sparrow]

When I upscale a prefab, my character clips through it like this. Is there a way to fix this?

[nova delta]

The boxes appear, because the base has a resource generator with two actions

1. Store
2. Generate orphan boxes (Dropped supplies)

They appear because you set the starting supplies to more than the base can store when it comes to the aggregation of detected storages

which means action 1 was not able to fullfill the generation request, which makes it go into action 2

[noble river]

Quick question, how do I go about this. I'm trying to set down all the arsenal boxes on my MOB in conflict PvE setting in workbench. They always change to the US faction even though I put down a Russian box. What setting do I look for to keep them from changing so I don't have to add all the weapons and gear to one box?

[modern oak]

Does changing the faction affiliation not work for that?

[noble river]

It doesn't. If placed on a US base, it always reverts to the US faction for some reason. I've tried everything I could think of so far to no luck. It works in game via changing it in gamemaster, but I was trying to do it so when the map loads up its already done.

[modern oak]

What prefab you using? That sounds really weird

[noble river]

the base game arsenals like the box that has everything gear, weapons, clothes.

It works fine if its off of a US base or MOB. It reverts to US items if located on the base.

[modern oak]

I'm really not sure but could it be to do with the actual conflict bases/capturing area if it's only doing it within base radius's? Sorry, just a thought as really stumped on that one 🙁 What about the noaffiliation arsenalbox types? (Again, no idea how those work I'm afraid)

[noble river]

Ill check it out and see what it does

[modern oak]

Ao so they revert to US inside a USSR-occupied base too?

[noble river]

I haven't tried that yet but I'm sure they do. I think its the base logic or something that does it.

[gusty bison]

Hi,
I have a quick question regarding the World Editor in Arma Reforger.

Is it possible to delete an imported satellite image (SuperTexture) from a map without deleting the actual SuperTexture files themselves?
After removing these files, I noticed that all 3D vegetation like grass and wheat is no longer visible on the map – even though the layers are still painted. All objects that were painted using terrain layers are now missing their 3D structures. What could be the reason for this, and how can I fix it?

[sinful oxide]

@exotic stirrup sorry for the ping but wanted to go back and appreciate this minor detail nobody realized besides the team that worked on this trailer.

The script editor was a nice touch

[wild mauve]

Is there any script that saves the Hydr0_5kunk metabolism state using EPF ?

[noble river]

Anyone ever get this one? It happens when I open the regular arsenal not bacons. Its stuck like that until you leave and rejoin.

[empty nexus]

Lol wut

[noble river]

I think its something with the better inventory mod. Now I cant find out what other mod is calling for it in the project to take it off haha. I wish I could disable the base arsenal button so people dont click on it and are forced to us e the bacon loadouts.

I mean I am pushing the limit for mods I think. 160 something wow!

[digital sluice]

I wouldn't use better inventory anyways, I haven't updated it in months so it's basically

[long hazel]

Is there a work around to get Gramps PVE stuff to use FIA vs USSR? I already started making the FIA into WW2 German, and is only US vs FIA(Germans) or will I need to remake the USSR team into Germans as well?

I'm struggling with importing textures anyone have any tips

[sinful oxide]

If you’re playing on a modded server definitely one of the mods causing it and I don’t think anyone’s gonna be able to help unless you direct to which mod it is

Hi, Im looking to make a cinematic using the cinematic timeline and using vehicle track, however my cars are modded and cannot get them to move. However, I can get the base game cars to move. Anyone able to help?

[shy cape]

i mainly play wcs, but recently ive been intrested in the a10 warthog mod, ive been trying to fly in game master, was wondering if there were any controller players in here who know how to fly the plane who could help me learn

[noble river]

Yeah it was the better inventory mod. Found out another mod snuck it in there. Seems to have fixed it but that was wild never seen that before. I also found out that have 20gb worth of mods keeps the rift raft out of the servers

[unique lantern]

Does someone know how I get a second tab in there ?

Hi! I want to retexture the Mi-8 in black with a custom white balaclava design on the left side. I’m lost in Workbench — how do I apply a custom PNG texture to the helicopter properly?
Any help would be great!

[digital sluice]

Can create a duplicate of the heli's material (.emat) file to edit the color within workbench to make it black, then apply it to an inherited version of the heli prefab.

As far as the custom white balaclava, maybe potentially handle it with a decal?

I think this video covers it well https://youtu.be/oXCn64ZCzcw?si=MaPd20C9TujwkLnO

thank you

Hey all, doing some terrain editing for Reforger. Am across how to import satellite and heightmap for real-world locations, but is it possible to export an existing terrain (or even just the heightmap) from Arma 3?

[noble spoke]

doing a vehicle catalog when i override armas one for US it only allows me to disable one variant the the rest get "disabled" but when i save all and reopen the file all but the first one actually save when the rest disable they dont go bold like an actual edit should any idea how to fix

[cursive kite]

Can someone explain how do you limit what you can build on terrain/map using supplies?
I would like to make a limited build set up, so people are not creating machine guns all over the map and stuff like that, as it won't fit the theme of the map

[fickle swift]

Would it be possible to make a mod where console players can change their display name?

Not asking someone to do it, just wondering if it's possible

Can anyone tell me what i would need to look at if i want to make a different vehicle into a MCU?

is WCS Armbands compatible with Zeliks Character? My group's server has Zeliks as a dependency for some gear mod, and we know that has an Armband slot already

does anyone know if bacon loadout editor has any sort of wiki for making mods compatible with it?

@empty nexus

If you make your weapon like vanilla then it will work, no wiki required

[obtuse cloud]

im working on making a custom mask and not sure how to configure it.

[severe kite]

how does the non-commercial license of reforgers workbench transfer over to paying modders?

like, while work done on workbench cannot be paid for, as that would break the NC license, what about work such as models?

Can you pay modders IF you pay them for their work done on other software?

[empty nexus]

Sure you can commission a model if you want, so long as the artist doesn't touch modding tools while working on it

[severe kite]

so...... hypothetically, paying them for the model, not for the implementation, is alright

but

how does that extend to paying a modder to model something, but that modder implements it into reforger on their own time, unpaid

like, thats such a grey area since workbench cannot be used to profit, but you're not paying someone for using workbench, youre paying them for their work modelling an item for example

at which point does it constitute it as an transaction made within workbench, and not for assets?

[severe kite]

because I totally believe this to be okay, from my view, but I don't know if this is correct from BIs view

[keen forge]

Just released the first public version of my AI assistant for Arma Reforger. Collected alot of documentation from the wiki,code and api so it can answer questions on everything from modding to scripting. https://i.imgur.com/oeeR9wK.png

[echo belfry]

somebody that can work with tools and can help me

[echo belfry]

somebody that can change things from arsenals

[twilit barn]

Would that modder still implement a model into the game for free if you didn't pay them for the model? (Probably not) That kind of makes the implementation part of the paid work, which makes it not ok.

[frail coral]

When did the "Preview" watermarks become a thing? Just noticing it

The person that created the model can't implement it into the game for you. You should check the ip channel as it's been talked about there numerous times.

How good is it with scripting?

[wanton hound]

If you're looking to modify existing helicopters: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Car_Modding
If you're looking to create entirely new helicopters: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Car_Creation
These are technically ground vehicle tutorials, but afaik the process is mostly similar. (please don't quote me on that).
(this stuff may not be the greatest starting point for a new modder!)

Does anyone know if it’s possible to change platoon net or is it hard coded to 48/42 mHz? I have no experience with coding if that’s the solution so if there’s another way or maybe someone can show me how to change it in the code (given that I know next to nothing), I’d appreciate that.

[half eagle]

Hi everyone. Dont know if this is right channel, but wanna start modding and just wanna enquire if the recommended pc specs of arma reforger is good enough to start with as an entry level pc?

[round gorge]

You dont need a high end pc, if you can run arma reforger thats totally fine.
For the most part of modding you either need scripting programs (just for qol)
blender (free and also on steam) or other third party programs like substance painter.
Blender and sp only if you wanna do modeling or smth like animations etc.
Just check the rec. specs out for those if you wanna start modeling but as far as my experience goes and Im modding on a laptop for a year now it should be fine

on my desktop im running an old cpu (Ryzen5 3600xt with 32gbRam (3200mhz) and a Nvidia 3060TI graphics card which runs everything fine

laptop specs are a bit better but they are lets say special compared to a desktop pc, this would go too far and wouldnt really help you

[half eagle]

Thanks for the info appreciate it. Basically wanna create maps and pve scenarios for them. So think i should be fine fine those pc specs lol

Whats a good Night Vision mod? looking for 80's/90's stuff, not modern

i know Cold Front Equipment had some, but thats been removed

[vestal axle]

Cold Front hasnt been removed

they rebranded, you gotta play on their server to downlaod the mod as it's currently set to hidden tho, once you play on the server, you'll be fine.
(I've got the code for it if you want to add it to your own server)

[vestal axle]

just checked, You gotta play hte Northcom servers to get it, it's only got alot less Soviet stuff because, obviously they split off from Cold Front

[sage raven]

The original got taken off the workshop and the main creator left the team.

I have the replacement Northcom mod already, direct from 401k

Was just wondering if there was anything else from the 80-90's era with NVGs

Hey guys, I'm getting an error whenever I try to load up my world file after starting Arma Reforger Tools. I think it has something to do with some dependencies I removed previously. How do I add them back to the project if it keeps crashing when I try to load it up? I tried to even launch it with add ons.

[rustic flower]

I've noticed that WCS has a very agile AH6M, what do i need to do to archieve the same? what mod does this for them? Thank you in advance

scroll all the way to the bottom.
Also dependecies can be changed in text editor in the gproj file

I should have learned this already, how do I update my own dependencies on reforger tools?

[dense pine]

Anyone know why I am having issues changing the weather or time in an exact copy of the Eden conflict scenario? Started off thinking it was a mod that was causing it removed all mods, checked it still wouldnt let me change anything in GM on the server, went to my scenario checked and messed with the mission header and world subscene settings etc and it still wouldnt let me so I figured I would copy the vanilla scenario over and try and I still cant get anything to change in Time/Weather

edit this is as an admin in a conflict scenario changing it to night or turning off rain as GM.

[wintry root]

When setting up the mission config it gives the option to over ride the scenario weather maybe this has been enabled

[dense pine]

Ive tried with it disabled and enabled

[wintry root]

Iv never edited it via object properties I configure it in the actual mission config.

[dense pine]

Ill see if i can get it to do it with the mission config

[wintry root]

Hopefully it overrides it

[dense pine]

Ill have to check it after work unfortunately lmao been up all night trying to figure it out, Thanks for the help

[lucid tapir]

why are these channels all so poorly named and with such terrible descriptions of the channels? I got no idea where to ask questions.

im currently using reforger tools to open enfusion engine to open workbench to open world editor to try to figure out whats wrong with some armor plates and

[modern oak]

Yeah what is your actual problem?

[lucid tapir]

not sure if sarcasm

but im trying to figure out what would cause the armor on the side of a vehicle to be counted twice, as if its doubled sided or idk

an AP shell was able to pass through the front and back of the armor but it went through 4x 20mm worth of armor plating

not my mod, just trying to figure out the cause and I legit got no idea which channel would be best for this kind of question

[modern oak]

Hmm maybe the models channel? Tbh with you I just put all of my queries into this or scenarios depending on how fitting they are and I normally find a nice person happy to help out

[lucid tapir]

I must be asking weird questions cause I swear I got a 10% chance getting an answer in here... or maybe im thinking of #reforger_questions. models, I think, idk, would be more for... "Model creation and usage within game modifications" or whatever tf that means. I'll add it to the list of possible channels.

I think this would be considered already modeled, just the settings on the armor are entered improperly.

[modern oak]

Yeah I've only played with this sort of thing a little so don't really want to advise on something only for it to be a waste of time

[lucid tapir]

im going to get muted again if I ask the same question in multiple channels, probably gonna get warned for talking to myself in here. probably should give up on bohemia helping me find a solution and just go ask bacon or spacestrider directly.

Why not ask the mod maker themselves? They may have their own showcase.

How do grenades actually trigger the explosion? Is it through the grenademovecomponent?

[lucid tapir]

whats the other option? I forgot, post screenshot.

no clue, thats why im asking 😄

im trying to bruteforce an impact grenade script through 3 AI-s, its horrible, the code works, detects the impact and the force of the impact, just no clue how to actually trigger the explosion

[wheat saffron]

how do i change my passenger seating position ? they're like in a turret i want them like in a hue ou a car seat

[lucid tapir]

can't you just use a vanilla grenade as the base and then build your thing around it? or idk if that would work with impact...

[quartz slate]

trying just that

[lucid tapir]

actually maybe i'll see if I can take a look within the hour but idk tht much about making weapons just, familiarized myself with a lot of the setting options

[quartz slate]

for the love of god i cant trigger premature explosion (the grenade is very safe)

[lucid tapir]

can you try to mimic what ever the RPG uses to detonate on contact?

collision trigger or something

[quartz slate]

tried that, nope

[noble river]

im having some troubles here. I have a config that I made to add just the weapons and ammo of the new WCS updated mods, since the prefabs have moved to a different mod, the mod I was using doesn't work anymore. Now I cant get my campaign faction manager to reflect any changes I make. Im trying to get all the items to show up like when I add a mod that has a config, it usually just adds the items to my manager. Its not working that way for some reason. Its making me re add them so is there an easier way then copy and paste 4000 times

[coarse wave]

I am struggling with trying to disable certain JLTV's that i dont want on my server but for some reason it wont let me change/overwrite the existing ones in the US_campaign.conf which is where they are being pulled from, if i try and disable them from the Entity catalog nothing happens in game so i am assuming i have to get thm from the US campaign like i am having to do for weaponry to make that work aswell

[boreal prism]

Does anyone know how I can get the command tent to stop snapping to the terrain and stay in a static position I set it in? I am having an issue where they are sitting on top of entities and not the actual terrain so the tent and everything just snaps to the terrain below and is under the map.

[jade current]

The TimerTriggerComponent triggers the explosion for grenades. If you have your timer set to 0 all you "should" need to do is call SetLive on impact

Other projects open up fine

Which config file am I looking for if i'm going to create a mod that reduce fuel consumption to 1x

[digital sluice]

best bet would be asking in #creators_recruiting, following the template in the pinned messages. But good luck as you can't pay for mod creation and creating a terrain is a lot of work. Maybe you'll find a kind soul, who knows

[lucid tapir]

I know how where to do that individually for vehicles but if you're looking for faction or server wide config stuff try #enfusion_configuration

[sterile plank]

Why can't we have this kind of destruction?

[empty nexus]

Probably doable tbh

[sterile plank]

@modern brook Did this

pretty good

[lucid tapir]

the servers I play on disabled all building destruction cause of lag and also I assume a lack of building

[silk swan]

you can, but then the server is limited to 5 people max, only works on PC (and requires a RTX 5090)

[lucid tapir]

💀

[brazen notch]

Is there any way of snapping in degrees while moving or rotating Objects (something like Unreal Engine)?

[sterile plank]

hold Ctrl while rotating

Takes time ig

Also i think Bohemia wants to revolutionize destruction in arma

If a mod is 3gb+ is this causing issues for people joining / downloading the server?

Im not sure where to ask about experimental build stuff so it doesn't get buried quickly. Why would my custom conflict scenario have the commander role in workbench, but not on a dedicated server? Im so confused...

In workbench everything is fine, but I load it up on a server and the commander group is not there, and neither is the action on the HQ sign to volunteer to be the commander. Is there some config file setting Im missing?

[fathom anvil]

Yoo

[twilit barn]

I even found and tried this mission header setting ```json

Dont mission header booleans need to be specified as integers? as in 1/0

maybe? IDK, either way, Ive got it set to enabled in the game mode of the scenario as well, and it works in workbench.

Everyday the requests in creators recruiting just get more and more insane

For free!

[tardy depot]

Well it's good to have ambition. However, youngsters and first timers, definitely have limited to no concept of the amount of effort that has to go into their scope.

Not many people have the 3 years or so, to commit to learning, building and financing their fantasies.

[pulsar nymph]

That part always makes me chuckle

[pulsar nymph]

Yeah I get that, just always funny to read through some of the requests

[tardy depot]

@sonic coral I figured out the weather thing if its still an issue for you too. You need to create custom weather states that each have a single transition set to a probability of 1 that switches to the next current state. It took me ages to get my head round it.

[modern river]

Good morning lady's and gents, I recently realized that my modded weapon's iorn sights are wildly inaccurate. From where im aiming at a target 100m away it shoots a good foot below where I was aiming. I tried following the wiki tutorial on zeroing a weapon and was able to complete all the steps, but no mater what I adjust it just keeps hitting a foot below. The Iorn Sight is just a reskin of the base red dot. When I have other scopes and modded scopes attached, the error is minimal.

In the wiki I know it says that if things are funky with my irons its a projectile issue, but the modded weapon is basically the same weapon as thebase game M16A2. Just a different skin. Id really like to avoid making unique ammunition and magazine if possible. Any help would ve greatly appreciated!

[earnest sundial]

If it fires the same ammo as the m16a2, just copy the zeroing directly from the m16a2 then fudge the offsets until it is close enough

99% of the zeroing in my mods has come from copying the zeroing of a vanilla weapon that fires the same ammo and then fudging the numbers until it fits

[sonic coral]

Awesome, job well done!
Makes sense when you approach it that way.
I didn't look into it yet and didn't know one can set probability sets, that's cool!

When I have a mission with dependancies such as EDF and I hit play on my world how do I make sure the addon is loaded for that play session?

Hi, I want to create my own watermark on my server, but I don't know how to add it to a mod and then upload it so it's available. Can you help me with this? I'm sure it's simple. But I can't see the start.

Above all I want to modify the start along with the standard etc.

the link to enter enfusion does not exist anywhere.

[cursive kite]

Can someone explain this error and how to mitigate it, I understand it says that somehow memory buffer is met, but I don't understand how to increase it. I am not running out of physical memory. It started happening after painting trees, but the strange issue is that it's happening across different maps not just for me but around 5 people that I saw in 2 weeks here were reporting the same error.

At first I created a very large area map, and this error prevented me from building at early stages, but I decreased map size and it disappeared.
Now it's showing up after I build about 12% of the map, it happens on loading of the map, but I don't know how alleviate this buffer error. I don't have any scripts running as of yet. I just built certain bases, but without having anything excessive, most of the ground have no texture, only trees and some buildings.

I already posted this in terrain and no one knows how to mitigate it.

[remote bronze]

It is an out of memory error happening due to a bug. you are not actually hitting any lower limits. it wants all your system memory

[civic laurel]

Can someone tell me in which section I can edit a script for the Everon map, adding a personal image?

It is the beginning, when the mods etc are downloaded

Anyone know of a tutorial for creating a custom faction from mods on the workshop?

For PVE.

Thank you so much. I did not realize that was a thing!

I’ve covered some basics on my YouTube but I haven’t went over factions it’s a matter of creating a custom enum for em and setting em up in config the character ETC

That’s a thing?

Wow it is ok that I didn’t even know

[indigo hamlet]

can someone make a tutorial of how to upload a map with GM for some reason when I build shore map it doesnt work when I upload it to the workshop there is no waves on the beaches or anything the water is just flat

[sinful oxide]

I don’t believe the AIMs have missile guidance on regardless of AA them use the apaches FIM missiles

like I said regardless the missiles work it’s the server you are on that does not.

@mortal sorrel

[mortal sorrel]

Is it possible that it does not work on my server, but the other site works on it? I really do not know the problem and these mods are shocking.

[sinful oxide]

Are you using any heli mods that may override the WCS_Armaments mod?

@hollow flame it’s under my understanding the WCS guidance system is still working yeah?

Hello, I want to make a map, but I encountered a problem. I put a permanent decal on the map, unchecked "terrain only" option in decals properties. Everything works in Reforger Tools. In the game the decal is visible only on the terrain, but not on objects. Please tell me if someone knows how to fix the problem.

Here is an example

[silk surge]

How many systems will be added from VBS 4 to ArmA 4?

https://youtu.be/b86xwua3ClY?si=PM5YNuX3xQC9Yra7

[indigo venture]

When did this come out

[silk surge]

This is for military only.

[indigo venture]

That's stupid

[silk surge]

I hope Marek Spanel and his Team will add as much systems as they can to ArmA 4. Especially the VBS 4 "Global" System, or how ever i should call it.

I also hope there will not add crossplay to ArmA 4. PC only.

[indigo venture]

Why?

[indigo venture]

Hm hopefully I wanna use VBS ngl

[silk surge]

💥 Reasons Against Crossplay in ArmA 4

1️⃣ Different Controls & Game Balance

• 🎯 Precision: Mouse & keyboard are more accurate than controllers.
• ⌨️ Complexity: Many commands & menus are faster on PC.
• ⚖️ Uneven Playing Field: PC players often have a clear advantage.

2️⃣ Technical Limitations on Consoles

• 🖥️ Performance: Large maps & heavy AI can strain consoles more.
• 📦 Modding: Limited or curated only on consoles.
• ⚙️ Editor/Scripts: Not all content works across both platforms.

3️⃣ Modding & Community Content

• 💾 Mods are a core part of ArmA.
• 📌 Cross-platform compatibility is hard to ensure.
• 📜 License & copyright issues differ per platform.
• 🔐 Security: PC’s open file access means higher exploit risk.

4️⃣ Update & Patch Cycles

• ⏳ Console updates need certification (Sony/Microsoft).
• ⚡ PC updates can be released instantly → version mismatches possible.

5️⃣ Anti-Cheat & Security

• 🛡️ Different cheat methods on each platform.
• 📂 ArmA’s scripting nature creates more exploit opportunities.

6️⃣ Target Audience Philosophy

• 🎮 Possible intentional split between PC & console communities.
• 🧭 Focus on the core simulation experience on PC.
• 🤝 Crossplay might only work in specific co-op scenarios.

💡 Conclusion:
Crossplay would make balance, modding, and updates far more complicated.
Bohemia would likely need aim assist, modding restrictions, and synchronized update schedules → but this could limit ArmA’s openness.

---

That's why Bohemia should ignore PS5, Xbox, a very small community and bring ArmA 4 for PC's only. PS5 and Xbox have already access to ArmA Reforger. So they can play Reforger instead of ArmA 4.

[robust quiver]

im trying to make custom chat commands how do i do that i tried some scripting but the command stuff aint working

[silk surge]

6. Target Audience Philosophy
   Bohemia might deliberately keep the PC and console communities separate to avoid diluting the core simulation experience in favor of simpler console controls.
   Crossplay might be considered only for certain modes (e.g., cooperative scenarios), but not for the entire game.

[indigo venture]

Sure but yk it's a wider range of people I get what your saying with all that but you also gotta think they're a multi million dollar company I'm pretty sure they would be able to figure it out at some point

[indigo venture]

Or yk up to server host if it's crossplay or not

[silk surge]

ArmA 4 don't need PS5 and Xbox players to be a banger.

PS5 and Xbox players got their taste what ArmA is about, while playing ArmA Reforger. So now they can go and switch to PC.

[indigo venture]

Sure but still

[indigo venture]

Also yk not everyone wants to drop $1500 on a pc for 1 game

[silk surge]

what is yk?

[indigo venture]

You know abbreviated

[silk surge]

So they can go and play Battlefield 6 or something else instead. ArmA was always exclusive game. That's why we play ArmA III even in 2025. There is also other Problem, it's the PS5, Xbox Community itself. Most of the players are children.
ArmA was always aiming on older players. Adult and mature. For me they can rise the costs for ArmA 4 to 250 $. Or Even 500 $. They will get their support for sure.

Still:
There are 6 really compelling reasons not to bring ArmA 4 to consoles. I hope that Marek Spanel will take all of them into consideration. I am certain that the ArmA community and I mean the real, original one that includes the PC players will make ArmA 4 a banger, just as ArmA has always been.

[remote seal]

And what you think without chatgpt? 🤣

[silk surge]

What do you want, it's time saving tool.

[remote seal]

What you write is bullshit, but yeah you save time 🤣

[indigo venture]

Sure but still also what's wrong with kids who like milsims also BF6 doesn't hit 100% of the mark for a milsim it's like 50%

[silk surge]

i mean, AI it's the future. Why should i type all the text by my self. All of those reasons are clear and accessible from the net.
It became even more clear with the EXP from PS5 and Xbox, why ArmA should remain for PC players only.

[silk surge]

That's not true. Look at the community, most of them join Reforger because they see nice shortys on Youtube, which show killing or what ever.

[silk surge]

You answer is unqualified.

[modern oak]

I think that's kinda the point dude

[indigo venture]

Well I don't think that's the only reason

[remote seal]

You is unqualified to understand what bullshit is AI writes 🤣

[silk surge]

You didn’t even bring up a counterargument. You’re just calling it bullshit without backing it up, so I see it as rage-bait and will end the conversation with you. Before I block you, this is your last chance to explain yourself.

[remote seal]

1. Arma is not for balance
2. How consoles limit you?
3. Cross-Platform isn't so hard for modders, and they can ignore it without any consequences
4. Why you need to update game every day?
5. Cheats on consoles? You are in our universe?
6. Cross play not divide communities, it's extend them

ChatGPT just write generic bullshit "supporting multi platform is hard" without understanding reality

[silk surge]

This specific feature can stay in Reforger, it’s not the main focus of the game anyway. ArmA offers much more than just combat. However, I’ve noticed that some players approach it more like an arcade shooter, similar to Battlefield, which doesn’t really capture the depth and tactical nature of ArmA.

ArmA has its roots in VBS (Virtual Battlespace) and is built around teamwork, strategy, and realism, something many in the PC community value deeply. My hope for ArmA 4 is that we keep that spirit alive and maintain the game’s focus on these strengths.

If you’re new to the series, I encourage you to explore the broader gameplay, and if you ever decide to move to PC, you might discover a whole new level of the ArmA experience.

[indigo venture]

Vlad your 100% correct also ngl as a owner of a modding studio I 100% guarantee you that my mods won't have issues on consoles even if they're completely custom

[silk surge]

I payed attention to your post, so don't get me wrong buddy. But technicaly, ArmA 4 can not come out with all their features to consoles. It's basically that simple.

[indigo venture]

Yk the next gen consoles have been announced or something along the lines they're in the works

[silk surge]

Wrong, it's already the case in ArmA Reforger. Please bring up your own crossplay server, to see the limitations caused by Crossplay.

[indigo venture]

I don't have a server I'm a studio not a server owner

[silk surge]

You don't own a ArmA Reforger gaming server?

[indigo venture]

Our goal is to provide the highest quality mods on reforger for everyone

[remote seal]

We playing almost every day every week TvT games at 128 players + 24/7 conflict server - we don't see this

Stop it here before I mute you two for off topic

[indigo venture]

No like I said its a modding studio not a server we don't run a server we make mods

[nova delta]

Go to another channel

[modern oak]

Meh, I always liked that you can essentially do whatever you want in Arma - Conflict, you can go shoot people, defend bases (more shooting), capture bases (pew pew), hang back and run logistics, build bases, run air support/transport, pretty much whatever you want!

[indigo venture]

Oh yo wait Mario you able to talk in dms?

[silk surge]

Please generate an ArmA 4 channel.

[pulsar nymph]

It absolutely does, Bohemia made 1m sales shortly after release on ps5

Like any company, they want money, console players equal money

[pallid knot]

ArmA has its roots in VBS (Virtual Battlespace)

1. Its Arma, not "ArmA"
2. No it does not, its the opposite. VBS has its roots in "DARWARS Ambush!", a mod for Arma/OFP.

ArmA was always exclusive game.
Look up "Operation Flashpoint: Elite".

VBS has no relation to the Enfusion Engine, there is nothing that can be ported over.
Also the Enfusion Engine itself is not necessarily Arma, the engine powers multiple games. And only because you want Arma to not be on consoles, doesn't mean the Engine should not be able to (Mind you that you're posting in the Enfusion channel, not in the Arma channel, #general_chat_arma would've been more appropriate and you can continue there after your mute)

A little bit of research please if you want to argue about stuff like this.

Hey, i want to add a Third-Person only in Vehicles. Has any one a Name of a mod or other methos?

[tawdry kestrel]

Third person vehicles only I think it’s called

[cursive kite]

As long as your map remains under 200 km2, as developers recently stated that anything of 200 km2 or bigger will crash on consoles, so clearly there are console limits, not that modding for PC is as limiting, but as soon as you hit 560 km2 range you will start getting memory buffer errors

[exotic grove]

Ok thanks i‘ll check it later

[tawdry kestrel]

I could be wrong but it’s sm like that

[tribal aurora]

Hi, does anyone know how to lock this item so it cannot be replaced? also how to exclude it from being saved to loadout

[exotic grove]

Yea i found it, thanks mate

[fickle briar]

did you ever solve this?

[indigo venture]

Well there's a possibility that our zombie mod won't work for consoles then

As the map is 600-700 square km

Well it's gonna have two full custom city's and 5 small towns tones of POIs and also every part of the map will have its own style and no copy and pasted buildings either

[frosty ravine]

call me back in 10 years when it's finished

[indigo venture]

Well have it finished in a couple years if we get the funds to make it

[pulsar nymph]

What funds lol

You can’t monetize tools

[indigo venture]

gofundme or kickstarter if we want

[indigo venture]

never said that my guy were gonna use funds to hire people to make models etc

[sinful oxide]

You can’t get funds to work on a map. Donations that are for working on something related to the tools is still payment and funding.

[sinful oxide]

False. I worked on a 784km2 map.

[indigo venture]

how? if i pay people to make models that will be implemented by other people how is that paying someone it says you can pay people to make models and such for you

[indigo venture]

yea i still dont see tho how paying people to make assets is bad they arent making the map theyre just making assets for the map

[sinful oxide]

That’s not what you stated above. Just mentioning the relation between topics

Models are fine as long as they do not touch enfusion tools that includes blenders enfusion tools setups and or rigging

[indigo venture]

yea just models also how do you have arma 4 tools?

[pulsar nymph]

Hes just cool like that

[indigo venture]

nah i want them too

[pulsar nymph]

Open enfusion

[indigo venture]

fine

[indigo venture]

i only have reforger tools

[pulsar nymph]

That’s enfusion engine.

[indigo venture]

how do i open just enfusion then dude i dont use it enough to know ngl

[sinful oxide]

Reforger tools are enfusion tools

Just a workspace specifically for reforger

[tidal halo]

How do I disable wetness on a model?

[sinful oxide]

Mesh object/and or the ematerial itself

[tidal halo]

I.e. whenever it rains, I don't want it to have that dark/damp look to it

[sinful oxide]

There’s wetness modifiers in the above I stated^

[indigo venture]

well im wondering how you got arma 4 tools thats the thing

What's false? The fact that developer states that consoles will crash at 200 km2, or you would get the memory buffer error?

Memory buffer errors happen for people on different gear, it doesn't matter what brand of CPU, and what GPU they have, some will get it at higher sized maps, some with smaller sized maps, but it's a recurring error.

So, neither is false, it's as real as it gets.

---

Can someone help with fixing this error? It's concerning because it started happening after 12% of the map was complete and I am concerned that it might increase with more prefabs placed.

How do you mitigate this error, or how do you increase memory buffer size?

I have tons of ram by the way

[pulsar nymph]

What’s the best way to about a decently modular gun?

For example the top part for the sights can be changed iht and one of the options has an rail to add another scope

How could I go about this?

[empty nexus]

Nested attachments are cursed

If the scope is one more level, under an attachment, it doesnt register to be usable

[pulsar nymph]

So difficult to make is what your saying

[empty nexus]

Have a look at the scope scripts and see if there's a way to register them manually

Help with creating Scenario

My friend and I enjoy playing various premade Scenarios, (he's on ps5, I am on pc) however we have found some other mods, that we wish we could add to these scenarios.

I host the server inside the Multiplayer menu, and when I load the mods with the scenario, they do not load with it. (examples are weapon, vehicle and night vision mods) The scenario is a remixed version of Conflict Everon.

Based on internet searches, I have come to the conclusion I need to modify the existing scenario in the Workbench, adding the mods with it. The method I have tried is:

• Loading the scenario
• Saving it as something else.
• Right-clicking the new "scenario" and loading the other mods as addons
• Finding the .conf file of each mod and overridding them into the new scenario
• Publishing the scenario so he can download it.

The problem I have is the "scenario" isn't something I can select from the drop-down menu, when hosting the game. Instead it can be loaded as a mod.

Either way, what I am doing isn't correct, and it's not working. All of the guides I find relate to hosting your own 3rd party server from somewhere else, and not back inside the game.

Can someone help me with the steps to modifying an existing scenario, to allow me to add mods to it? I can't seem to find a guide online that outlines this. Thanks for your time.

[acoustic whale]

no need to change that in game but in editor the camera editor has the wrong keymapping not game inside editor

[cursive kite]

How would you fix it?
Is it something that Bohemia Interactive is already looking into, or is it something that I can fix myself?

What would you suggest that I do?

If I have a gun with multiple barrel lengths how can I go about implementing them?

And a bit harder, how can I make that ris rails on said multiple barrels work?

[earnest sundial]

Base prefab with whatever barrel length you think is most normal, then inherited prefabs per barrel length, barrel models can be an attachment slot prefab but each one will need a different muzzle reference point

Add memory points for each barrel length’s muzzle on your receiver (e.g barrel_muzzle_short, barrel_muzzle_long)

Then your short barrel weapon has the short barrel attachment and has its muzzle end position set to barrel_muzzle_short

[pale dawn]

linux is not in the list of "all major platforms"?

[earnest sundial]

Because it’s not a major platform compared to Xbox, ps5 and windows (may god have mercy on my soul for crossing the passionate Linux community)

[nova delta]

@pale dawn https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share
Linux has less than 1.5% global usage on averga even according to that

[bright sable]

3% according to Steam hardware survey (which might include some Steam Decks?)

[nova delta]

Yeah but that is people using steam

Different set

[bright sable]

More helpful IMO, the 1.5% includes mobile devices

[keen path]

Also linux users are less likely to partake in surveys or share information.

[nova delta]

A bit of personal opinion here, but they seem to be pretty vocal about making sure you know they use linux so I would not be surprised if opposite happens if anonymous data is used

[keen path]

Windows sucks.
When microsoft goes bankrupt, all the tools and game stop functioning?

Linux seems like a no-brainer,
playstation and xbox already supported, linux seems like a natural inclusion

[frosty ravine]

most likely the effort vs potential gain does not balance well. even if microsoft goes bankrupt, windows will not vanish.

Now you're on the watch list, good luck.

[hallow cloud]

Not sure where to ask it so if this is the wrong place im sorry. I can't seem to get the understanding of Colliders, I have watched many different videos and read many websites. I have created the LODs and then done the Colliders in blender but no matter what I do or how I do it the objects work with, when placed on a map are still able to be walked through and im to the point of losing my mind.

[jade current]

You're placing xobs on to the map, if you want the colliders to work create prefabs with the correct components

[hallow cloud]

Im using the xobs but it's not prefabs im using, im using stuff I downloaded from the net.

[jade current]

Yes, like I said. If you want colliders to work create prefabs with the correct components.

[hallow cloud]

so im not sure what you mean by prefab. as I though prefab were the things that come WITH enforger

[jade current]

Yes and you need to create your own

If you don't understand you should be on the wiki reading. No one can help you if you don't understand what they're talking about.

Has anyone else had issues with members of one faction desyncing and floating 100 feet above the ground for some players and appearing fine to others? Problem fixes if either re-logs, but will come back over time. Only desync is height straight up -- everything else is synced. WE believe it may be a mod since it's only affecting one faction

is 9k tris too much for a grenade?

how many tris are the normal grenade models

No. You can check what the vanilla models have by opening the XOB in the Workbench, in this case 6k and 8k faces with LODs going down to 200 and 300.

I’m not sure where this goes, but I posted originally in workshop

Hello, I’m new to running a server. My buddies and I have been doing it for about a week. Mostly spent troubleshooting and finding the right mod order. I’m stumped on this one. I tried the medkit fixes broken bones mod and nobody liked it except me lmao. Now the issue is our bandages show up as medkits, no saline, no morphine (they’re all rolled into one in the bandage medkit). I took that mod out and also ACE medical prototypes. Bandages as medkits are still showing, morphine and saline are back, but now phenylephrine, metoprolol, smelling salts, and naloxone are all gone.

Please ask anything if this was confusing.

Here is the mod list straight from our server .json

[wet furnace]

For some reason I can't seem to be able to copy/move edds from the different mod into mine. Is there anything that can be done about it? Like, can I export those somehow to adjust?

[summer island]

Really dumb question I know but how do you make a generic entity .et file in workbench?

[quiet cedar]

Bumping because pls help lmao

[half eagle]

Processor(CPU) : AMD Ryzen 5 5500 Processor
Memory(RAM) : 32GB DDR4 3200Mhz High Performance Gaming RAM
Graphics Card : GeForce RTX 3050 6GB Gaming Primary Drive : 512GB NVMe SSD

Would this do the trick for the modding?

[empty nexus]

With High Performance Gaming RAM you should be fine

[round gorge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q27Csk3pqCI

the cpu he uses is just a little better than urs

[half eagle]

So its worth getting u say?

[round gorge]

Imo not worth to spend the money just to do modding with it, unless your willing to keep it as your hobby and you wanna spend money on it.
Also depends on what ur spending etc. I cant give you a guide on what pc parts you should buy

[half eagle]

Well if it can play other games on it then i think its worth modding as hobby and gaming

[half eagle]

Cool. Btw thnx for all ur great mods u made so far

[round gorge]

Really depends on you, your budget and what you wanna achieve with it

Theres enough reviews and tests about pc setups online

[half eagle]

Cool. Think im go for that one as its decent priced. Plus wanna build mods for our server actually

[round gorge]

make sure to check prices on parts and pc setups before you blind buy smth

[half eagle]

Yeah definitely. It is from a supplier here by us

[hallow cloud]

I asked this earlier but I see that I wasn't clear in what I was asking so Zelik tried to help me but when he sent me was for stuff ALREADY made. SO Im trying to use objects already created NOT from premade arma stuff that I downloaded from places like TurboSquid. the items are in FBX already. I can get the textures added with no issues. I follow videos from "Arma Platform" youtube and from "the Piano man" youtube on creating LODs and Colliders and I do step by step exactly what they say to do in their videos, and Enfusion SHOWS that the colliders are there and everything LOOKS good but even with the colliders the character still walks through the object as if it's not there. so im not sure what im doing wrong. I wish Enfusion had a simple "collider creation" feature lol but yeah even though efusion shows it has colliders it acts as if there isn't one there.

[bright sable]

If it shows the colliders in the XOB, make sure:

• The collider has the right type
• The prefab you set up has a RigidBody component with ModelGeometry (and for static objects, Static) enabled.

[hallow cloud]

It's not arma prefabs.....

[bright sable]

An XOB dragged into the scene will not have collisions

You need to make a prefab which has the component

It also doesn't look like the EBT plugin set your things up properly in Blender

[hallow cloud]

So i have read through the wiki and videos and more and no offense Im not sure what you mean. just a break down I can use Unreal Engine to make movies with ease but working in enfusion is 100% new to me

[bright sable]

Should look something like this in Blender if you use the Enfusion Blender Tools correctly

And then regarding prefabs, basically the XOB file is just the 3d model, it has colliders but won't have collision when dragged into the scene itself
You need to make a prefab which has the MeshObject component (with the model selected) and a RigidBody component as described

Prefab configuration is described here https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Prop_Creation#Adding_basic_configuration assuming you are making a simple prop and not e. g. a weapon or vehicle

[hallow cloud]

I know i sound dumb with all this but that just confuses me more..... if I use a prefab model instead of the model I want it defeats the purpose of the model I want. like how does using the prefab and it being seen help with the object im using... as I said I have seen videos and such that CLAIM its what Im supposed to do and none of the videos talk about prefabs. so I dont want to come off rude Im really trying to learn this stuff cause I have a killer idea for a mod in my head and want to make it happen in Arma Reforger.

[hallow cloud]

yeah zelik sent me this link and I have already read it before she linked it. this page only further confuses me in what im trying to do.

[bright sable]

You create a prefab. A prefab in this case is a resource which has your model (MeshObject component) and additional properties (like RigidBody component which enables Physics).

If dragged into the scene directly, an XOB just becomes a GenericEntity with a MeshObject component, so it will not have collisions.

[hallow cloud]

I appreciate the help and I get what your saying.. and I see what the page says but it still doesn't compute to how using prefabs ties into me using a 3d mesh I get from somewhere else.... IE Im using a work bench as it shows in my screen capture.... if I put a prefab of something in.. the prefab will have colliders I get that... but now I have the prefab visible and the workbench too... now I have a workbench I walk through and a prefab that isn't connected to what I want in the scene visible and has colliders... how does the prefab fix my 3d mesh no having colliders, the page you and zelik linked to doesn't have anything connected to what im trying to do. and only further confuses me.

also all of the arma stuff have padlocks on them

[pulsar nymph]

Your MESH might have colliders but the prefab needs a rigid body component

A mesh is just a mesh, you can’t do anything with it, you need a prefab which you can add things to it that the game engine recognizes such as colliders via a rigid body component

[twilit barn]

He needs to create a prefab for his custom xob so he can use it in the game. Maybe that will clear things up?

Not an already made prefab of a vanilla item, but you need to create one for your custom item

I think he's getting confused by the word prefab

[hallow cloud]

exactly

I downloaded somethign that ISN'T a prefab. I follow all the wikis and videos telling you how to create a custom LOD and Colliders and and I do it step by step identical to the instructions and even then when I put it into the scene. it STILL is like its not there physically, my character still walks through the custom item even though it says i have a collider attached.

this is why I wish the enfusion app had some kind of easy collider system where you can add an invisible box that is a collider to the object LOL

[pulsar nymph]

Dude, a prefab isn’t something you can make in blender

[hallow cloud]

im not making a prefab. though

Im trying to import an object NOT from arma

[pulsar nymph]

Dude, you need a prefab if you want your mesh to have colision

[hallow cloud]

then explain how to connect the prefab to the mesh im importing and make it so the prefab is invisible. the wiki doesn't say how to do that.

[pulsar nymph]

Wdym invisible?

What is your object? A prop?

[hallow cloud]

im not trying to do this but this is just to give you an example to understand what im doing....

[pulsar nymph]

^

[hallow cloud]

imagine if im trying to make a medevil theme for arma reforger, so that instead of guns you run around with swords and have a castle.... if I put in a castle but I have to attach a modern object to the game to get a collder to keep from walking through the castle as if it's not there the object say a phone, isn't medevil throws off how the theme looks

I add the phone but the castle is still not solid and my character walks through it still and now I have a phone in a medevil world

and a castle that still is not like a solid object

[pulsar nymph]

Brother what

[snow yew]

you should read up on what a prefab is

[pulsar nymph]

A prefab is just something with components that the game engine recognizes

[hallow cloud]

I have read the wiki MULTIPLE TIMES

[pulsar nymph]

A prefab is just something that makes your mesh turn into something the engine understands

[snow yew]

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

[pulsar nymph]

It is invisible by default

[hallow cloud]

the prefabs I insert in the scene do not end up invisible

[pulsar nymph]

Yes because those are already configured prefabs😭

[snow yew]

that wiki page i linked has a step-by-step guide on creating your own prefab

[pulsar nymph]

just answer my very simple question, what is your mesh?

Is it a prop or what?

This will help tremendously if you just answer it

[hallow cloud]

it's a work bench I have said that earlier, I have meshes from a certain type theme I am trying to create. and the WORK BENCH when I have stated so earlier and even show pictures of in my screen captures I have added LODs to and well as colliders... how ever SAID object still doesn't work as if the colliders are there

[pulsar nymph]

Ok very nice, search up prop_base in the search bar

Then right click it and inherit it

Name it something like workbench

Then drag it into your world

And let’s hope it’s not a phone

[sinful oxide]

Are you trying to add colliders to your castle?

That original statement no offence didn’t make the best sense could you re iterate?

[hallow cloud]

oh look a prefab thats not invisible......

[pulsar nymph]

Prefabs can have meshes that you configure, base prefabs dont have any until you place your own

[hallow cloud]

thats a base prefab over top of my workbench

[sinful oxide]

Retro what are you trying to do?

[hallow cloud]

I said it simple earlier gramps understood, this is turning into something not simple.... I am downloading meshes from other sites like turbo squid. Im trying to put said meshes into my scene to create a theme in arma and after reading the wiki multiple times and watching multiple step by step videos to add LOD and Colliders to the meshes. the meshes STILL are not solid and can be walked through.

[regal lintel]

Did you add the rigid component? Is your collider importing after you imported the fbx, does it show you have a collider?

[sinful oxide]

Ok so first question do these models have liscenses that allow you to import and use them in ENFUSION/Arma Reforger.

Second. The mods and colliders must be attached to the mesh itself via blender unless you set the colliders up in model settings and rigid body.

[regal lintel]

When you created the entity you need rigid body component and select the flags inside that component.

[regal lintel]

Exactly what vape said.

[sinful oxide]

Yes no rigid body = no world simulation

[hallow cloud]

the meshes have OPEN license, and as you see i have LOD and colliders attached in blender

[sinful oxide]

Great. Colliders are set up in rigid body.

Add a ridgid body component to the basecontainer with your class of desire.

And then click (Model Geometry).

For lods they are controlled in mesh object. In the settings below.

[hallow cloud]

No this rigid body model geometry thing im lost there

[regal lintel]

https://youtu.be/GFOgsRc_E-s?si=SXsOtgMep9B3VE0K

[hallow cloud]

and im sorry to be causing everyone issues im really trying to grasp this

[regal lintel]

Watch the video

[sinful oxide]

Please refer to my videos if you need to

https://youtu.be/AD4suxClhdQ?si=QPbn2WoDVomxbavh

https://youtu.be/ni7LL8Ee3wc?si=ILeGasSOKhtgPQs7

[regal lintel]

If anyone has an issue with you asking questions their in the wrong discord your good my guy.

[regal lintel]

Lol of course this guy made tutorials okay I promote yours for now on

[hallow cloud]

and if these videos versus what i have been watching helps I will too

[sinful oxide]

Additionally lods are never exactly required in order to upload assets but are good practice and should be used. Things that are extremely expensive in verts/polys ENFUSION as a whole actually does a great job handling stuff without Lods but at an eventual point can cause issues.

don’t tell that to bacon he’s the lod police

[hallow cloud]

I had a killer idea for an arma reforger complete overhaul DLC and so Im seriously trying to learn all this from scratch to make this game idea a thing. one people keep telling me im stupid for an im trying to make it happen even still.

[hallow cloud]

thanks this is some good info

[sinful oxide]

Also @hallow cloud please ensure you are not using 4K+ textures these are not well in ENFUSION

[hallow cloud]

what do you mean?

[regal lintel]

Don't use 4k textures

[sinful oxide]

4K textures are a no no in enfusion.

[regal lintel]

If any model your using comes with 4k textures replace them below 4k or don't use it at all.

[hallow cloud]

Ok good yeah the textures im using aren't 4k (wipes forehead)

[sinful oxide]

For one. Size cost. Very expensive. Two. Very unneeded.

The human eye can make something in insanely low quality look good from a distance.

[hallow cloud]

so what im TRYING to do, is create a make shift version of Fallout's Nuclear Winter inside of Reforger.

[sinful oxide]

Like a map?

[hallow cloud]

the map will come later after I have learned everything

[sinful oxide]

You’ll be here for a while but check out some of the videos on my YouTube they may further assist you.

[hallow cloud]

I will for sure... and thank you for not telling me my idea is stupid

[sinful oxide]

No idea is stupid. Creativity and learning is of importance just takes some time to learn things that’s all.

[hallow cloud]

Once I learn the basics of adding items, then it will be making the weapons work, then the map and finally making my "battle royale eye of the storm" idea work.

[pulsar nymph]

One thing is to learn everything one step at a time

Dont skip out of making for example animations because they prove to be hard

Instead ask questions and learn, it’ll help a lot in the long run

[hallow cloud]

yeah im focus on this work bench for now, nothing else till i get that working.

[winter fulcrum]

Hi guys, i want a VBIED mod is there a mod that creates a huge explosion?

[empty marsh]

theres a Nuke

[winter fulcrum]

over exploitation 🤣

[empty marsh]

game master fx has a few types

[empty nexus]

try the Banana Peel Mine

[fickle briar]

Anyone know how to set it so i can load a crate into a vehicle and out again?

Tried SCR_loaditemsaction but im unsure if thats correct

[empty nexus]

Perhaps the crate would have to be an item

[fickle briar]

If i pull the crate onto a truck in GM, it will sit on the bed. I just dont know how to make it possible for players to do it ingame. I assume its somewhere in the ActionsManagerComponent, and that its possibly something that requires scripting, i was hoping to avoid that though

[hallow cloud]

I want to thank everyone who tried helping and @sinful oxide your collider video was what I needed exactly... I still have to remove the mesh I created using it as it has a box collider and its a bit off for the object but with your video and NOW the wiki I know I can use the Convext collider and get things right!!!! Thanks!!

[exotic grove]

I can´t interact to the Vehicle Station at the FIA oder USSR faction but at the US it works, it just tell me this
SCRIPT (E): 'SCR_ResupplySelfSupportStationAction': should check if Item is in storage but no storage manager found so this step will be ignored!

[dusty tiger]

Hello, does anyone have the SCR_DataToSpreadsheet plugin file or is there an alternative to batch export data to a spreadsheet?

[molten granite]

That's the Fallout 4 workbench.

2 variants of the Weapons Workbench smashed together into a new one. I don't know where you got that model, but that could be an issue.

[primal wharf]

Hi all, just a question. Im new to world editor. I found a tutorial to create my first mission, at the begining in the video the author show how to put some manager to configure de game. He use HitRegManager, and GarbageManager. But i can't found it in the research or in the file lists. So i presume that ther is some modification and it's not used anymore? Is this right? Or there is another manager to place for the same features? BTW: The documentation are very poor to the official Bohemia website. Is there some more detailed documentation out ther?

[hallow cloud]

someone made it custom and has it on Sketchfab. I have it working SORT of via @sinful oxide 's video the only issue I have is its step with a box collider and if I climb it, I am standing mid air over it and it stops you a foot infront of the mesh. So far if I use UCX colliders, those don't seem to work.

[sinful oxide]

Use UTM

And don’t make a box around it

Copy and paste your model on itself (reduce poly count if required) and then re name that to UTM_

[hallow cloud]

thanks!!!

[hallow cloud]

the UTM was JUST what I needed!

[azure crystal]

Anyone understand scripts a ton?

so I made tried to make one so it would default load you as a sergeant until a number of people were in a server then it would load people as Private, but I couldn’t seem to get it to work? Does anyone know why that could be

[flint urchin]

Howdy y'all, anyone know how to fix this?

[round gorge]

dont have an entity out of world bounds

[flint urchin]

Yes, however I do not know how to move it back in bounds. At a Notepad level, the coords are 0 0 0

[twilit barn]

Just because someone put it on sketchfab doesn't mean it's not ripped. If it's found to be ripped, you could be held liable for that.

[humble mason]

Hi all, I'm using Delete Entity to delete player-made defense via construction truck during the mission. Where can I find the Prefabs that the players uses so I can add the name to the filter list?

[deep quarry]

How can I add my own icons to the SCR_MapDescriptorComponent?

[pulsar nymph]

Damn you jenkins!!🤣

[grim dove]

Anybody know how to make a custom loading screen? I tried using the Custom Loading Screen framework mod. Made my own with it as a dependency but it didn’t work? Also using GM Scenario Worthy Islands. Tried with the loading screen as first and last in the mod load order. I use a Bacon provided server.

[dusty tiger]

How is bullet damage calculated in ShellMoveComponent in Reforger? Like, what's the difference between Projectile Effects > ProjectileDamage > Damage Value and Show penetration config > DamageValue? Is there a way to get a rough damage value from the workbench without having to open every weapon in game and test fire it? I'm making a spreadsheet and the latter would take hours and be inaccurate.

Also the wiki says the damage formula is "Damage = Diameter * Penetration Ability * Init Speed" but changing Diameter or Init Speed doesn't change the damage calculated by Show penetration config

[hollow rampart]

Ok so this is not very accurate. Resolution lods are there for a reason and spreading that kind of information is hurtful for mod quality. Sure Enfusion handles more polygons better, but this kind of mentality leads to mods with assets that are hundreds of thousands of polygons without any resolution lods at all. At some point when there is enough of unoptimized things like this on the screen it starts to take its toll.

Optimization of assets is very important

[sinful oxide]

You’re looking at it from a developer side of things. We’re looking at it from a modding side. It’s not spreading misinformation Would you like to teach everyone how to do all that stuff?

The point short and simple is yes it’s good practice. But not everyone knows these things and it’s safer to know it’s not a requirement but an optimization.

A lot of these guys are newer and don’t have an understanding of the asset implementation side and are unaware of the many different factors that go into the creation of a perfected game ready asset. It’s good to see them modding and doing their own thing it’s just a big learning curve for most. Although yes it is simple.

And to be frank if lods are a huge concern why are the 600 vanilla errors a not concern when I open the workbench and just crash.

[hollow rampart]

Yes I would like to teach everyone that it matters.

[frosty ravine]

at the moment modding tools are essentially the sdk, there's no such thing as "developer side" or "modder side". you are working in a game engine, the only difference you're not getting paid for it. 😆
I'd say optimizing assets is an absolute must have if you want anyone to actually use your mod, and/or for a wider adoption by the community.

[hollow rampart]

have to start from somewhere

lods resolution lods is pretty easy concept

you dont want to draw 200k polygons at 2km distance

thats just crazy

as to How thats made, well. That like all of modding requires specific set of skills

those skills are learnable

and there is tons of material out there to learn 3d modeling

[nova delta]

Tbh YOU are looking it from the non modeler side (Not even the modder side)

Not all modders are innexperienced on this side. For many it is quite basic thing

LODs are not even a tech from the 2000s

It's older

It's a common thing that should not be skipped and the reason why we can have games as we have right now

[nova delta]

The reason why people do ot seem to know is because of people telling them wrongly that it is not important

Or that it is not a basic thing, when it is

[sinful oxide]

You’re not getting it.

I never said they are not important and you don’t need to school me I’ve been doing this for years and have thousands of hours on the arma reforger tools.

What I am saying simply is to the guy is it’s not a concern atm, it’s a good thing to have especially with higher quality stuff to ease out on performance. You’re right in your case yes. But are you the one going out of your way to ensure every mod contains assets with lods. This isn’t an unwritten rule and if you know the engine enough to know its constraints there’s a reason I told the guy he doesn’t need to worry about it currently in order to have the asset in game. But yes you are right.

Don’t blow this out of proportion this is seriously stupid arguing over lods.

[nova delta]

You said never, meaning it's not required ever

Which is not good advice at all

At this point it is the contrary

We've had many weapon, buildings, etc mod packs in arma and dayz history that as soon as you load them, you get insane performance drop just because of no LODs (Arma Reforger included in some mods before)

It does affect more than you think

[sinful oxide]

“Never •EXACTLY• Required”

I left room for the blank of when and In what case.

[nova delta]

You are promoting this bad practice

So stop it

At least on the official discord

Whenever you tried to do good or not

Do not promote this

[sinful oxide]

You’re telling me to not tell someone they don’t have to worry about lods?

[nova delta]

Read your whole message, you made it very enticing on to that it will be fine regardless

Specially on the last part

[sinful oxide]

Because you physically don’t need them. I’m not going to lie to someone.

[nova delta]

Don't be the reason we enforce it on engine

[sinful oxide]

Argument aside now this is turning into more so you want us to do it. This isn’t coming from a perspective of good practice this is you trying to force it on us.

[nova delta]

It's because it is good practice 😅

and basic thing

[sinful oxide]

You can’t force that on people.

[nova delta]

even if half assed

Your advice is bad advice and that all we were telling you

Sp avoid doing it further, you just promote bad practice with that

people go for the easiest route all the time

[sinful oxide]

So I sit there for an hour take my time out of my life to do that and you only see me tell him he doesn’t need lods and that’s what we take from this?

[nova delta]

Bad advice is bad advice, don't feel bad for other people telling that it is bad advice

[sinful oxide]

I’ll only consider that bad advice when it is intentionally directed in a way that it wasn’t intended, it’s being misconstrued.

[bright sable]

You have not been responding in good faith in a while, I recommend leaving it.

[sinful oxide]

There’s more concerning things then lods in this situation Mario, it was only mentioned due to what he was currently doing.

[nova delta]

Okay so you are just not taking this constructively

[sinful oxide]

No it’s quite insulting being shoved in a corner over something so little

[nova delta]

Let's avoid clutter here from now.

Just to be a bit clear, we want to avoid promotion of bad practices as much as possible. So If you promote such things, we will correct you. There is nothing personal here. The more modders follow proper practices, the better it becomes for everyone

[vapid glade]

Heads up, thats a Fallout model and will get you nuked, on top of that it looks like a ripped fallout model.....

[pulsar nymph]

from what hes said its a model made * by someone else on sketchfab

[nova delta]

Ripped model is a ripped model. Independently of if it has changed hands multiple times

[pulsar nymph]

meant made not found

havent had my coffee yet😆

[nova delta]

Usually very similar models to one game are ripped but hidden with changes

So i would always stay away from that

Even if the model was remade from scrach, but with a ripped model as base

Still an issue

[pulsar nymph]

so for example having a ripped model in the same blend file to copy it would be a problem?

[nova delta]

Idk how that is not clear

Obviously it is

[pulsar nymph]

kk, i just know its a common thing to do!

[empty nexus]

I think he means to use it as reference when making your own model

[nova delta]

#enfusion_generic message

[empty nexus]

I believe in that case SWAT will not raid you, so long as you never publish it

[pulsar nymph]

yeah i meant this

[empty nexus]

Ripping models is bad and using ripped models is bad yes

[nova delta]

Like tbh i feel gping to the trouble to copy a model like that is more work than doing your own

[empty nexus]

It depends, some references might be hard to find, but in general yes

[vapid glade]

It is indeed ripped i looked into it with him, he understands it cant be used. The site he got it from wasn't clear so he didn't know. A good now

[exotic grove]

This is just for fun, but what do you think is difficult makeing a vehicle or a weapon?

[flint urchin]

Bacon, do you want to be friends?

[sinful oxide]

both. vehicles require more work however.

[exotic grove]

Ok thanks

[vapid glade]

I gud nuff gun is easy af. A gud nuf car requires alot more enfusion knowledge

[pulsar nymph]

Nuff?

[sage raven]

short for "enough"

[pulsar nymph]

Oh then that probably just means someone duplicating the m16 and slapping on their gun model 😆

[vapid glade]

Gud nuff ain't it if the sights line up and it kills lol

[split idol]

I know its pretty dumb question, but i was wondering if a procedural generated map like this one for gmod would be possible.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2188747166

I dont know anything about making mods, I just had the thought

[pulsar nymph]

Maybe via custom splines for walls generated with constraints

[nova delta]

I think @jade current was working on something similar

[jade current]

You remember the weird results I got don't you?

[onyx yarrow]

I would say that it's possible, you'll have an empty Terrain and another mod will add structures directly at the start. The main issue is with conflict, spawnpoints and stuff like that, you will probably have to create game mods from scratch to handle dynamic points generation.

The main issue is that if you want to create the heightmap and the map screen dynamically. Currently the map screen is handled by an image, and I don't think you'll be able to change it dynamically, so you'll have to create a new map screen menu just for that.

Also i doubt the heightmap, textures and stuff like that could be handled dynamically, i'm sure that they need to be packed before loading it into a server

[hollow rampart]

Id consider that as a procedural building instead

not really a map/terrain in arma concepts

[sterile shoal]

wow that conversation was mind-blowing. Here's a script that does LODs for you in 35ms. Feel free to spread it to all the heathens 🙂

[empty nexus]

Saved, I am pro 3d artist now

[hazy canopy]

If anyone can help with how-to delete the Ai in my scenario when server player count reaches (50) I would shake your hand backwards

[remote bronze]

one possible approach would be to listen on player registered, get current count of players from player manager, then go to group manager and ask for all groups, then go through the members and check if they are players or ai via isplayer utility method we have somewhere and then boom they are all gone. but this would probably look meh.

if you just want to stop spawning new ai once the player limit is reached you would just set the ai limit that i think is scripted anyway? sorry i do not have exact names in my head right now, just some idea brainstorming

[hazy canopy]

I have a hard limit of Ai, & once deleted/neutralized they don’t respawn

I have Ai groups using simple defend waypoints spread throughout the map (around 80 Ai troops within 20 groups) to lower server load

With the additional 2 Ai groups nested with the command tents

But I find myself tasking GMs to clean up remaining 15-20 Ai troops that haven’t been found by players & at 100+ server pop it’s just added tax that’s not needed

[exotic grove]

What can i do to fix this?

Server Console:
NETWORK (W): RplAuthBackend::OnFailure called (identity=0x00000000, group=4, reason=2)

[little forge]

What would it take to let us shoot out of vehicle like arma 3?

[hazy canopy]

Mod version you have downloaded doesn’t match the mod version required by server, delete the mismatch & connect to server to download the correct version

[exotic grove]

So i just delete my mods and connect to the server and download the mod within the joining of the Server?

[hazy canopy]

Yes, if can find the specific mod causing error then you would only need to delete it and maybe its dependencies

Best way is to delete all & reconnect to the server

[exotic grove]

Okay thanks, but to be clear this is a local problem?

[hazy canopy]

Yes it is usually client end

[exotic grove]

Thank you

seems like some debug text the modder forgot to turn off, happens quite often

[sinful oxide]

Insta lod is also goated

[wild mauve]

This made my day !!!!!!!!

[empty marsh]

does anyone know how to play as a custum character in editor?

[sterile shoal]

It's not, just use the decimate it's easier in 99% of use cases, especially below LOD1 which you might want to do manually but then again also probably only in 1% of the time

[sinful oxide]

Fair enough

[exotic grove]

is a telport mod existig like for a entrance to a bunker which is under the Map?

[round gorge]

you can easily script that, but I dont think theres a modular mod for it

[exotic grove]

Okay, thanks anyway

[little forge]

What would it take to let us shoot out of vehicle like arma 3?

[rose spear]

[low nebula]

Quick question guys, what do I do if I can't find a helmet thats in the arsenal, but its not showing up in Enfusion. I want to remove it from view in the arsenal, but its not in any of the EntityCatalogs?

As far as I know, both my spawns and factions are setup correctly?

If you have anything dm me. I am at a COMPLETE loss as to what to do

[dusty tiger]

I'm doing some testing with locked mods. I made a new world editor layer, edited it but it's telling me I need to save the layer before I can play it but the new folder/OK buttons are greyed out. How are modders supposed to do anything when everything is locked.

[remote seal]

just create new project that depends on these mods or just open it with them

[dusty tiger]

Any way to change the diag menu shortcut? Windows + Alt + arrows messes with windows even in fullscreen. Whoever set that keybind is a genius. Ctrl + Windows kinda works but the arrow keys don't work. Maybe it's a linux thing.

Edit: Fixed it. Disabled all windows keybinds in Linux.

[earnest sundial]

Can confirm using basically the same script for all of British Forces mod and ARMA-RY

[zealous scroll]

Is there a dev available that wouldn't mind me asking a quick monetization question in DM?

It's classified

[hushed meadow]

do anyone know how to get ahold of this modder darkgruy servers where no help

[zealous scroll]

Thanks but I need a ruling if something is a gameplay advantage or not. It's not in my opinion, but want to make sure it meets the criteria.

It's not cosmetic, but it's just for entertainment.

[thick trout]

u might have to ask bohemia dev but if it doesnt give any advantage its good i think

[wary gyro]

Can experimental not download mods?

[exotic grove]

What is the max cooldown for the respawn that i can do?
