one can use mods developed for experimental branch, yes

[wary gyro]

oh, maybe just aproblem on my end then, all downloads seem to fail

[remote seal]

Experimental has separate workshop, so your addons from stable branch can be not uploaded or have different id

Anyone know of any good military gear 3d modellers. Aside from Akcent, Hyoon and 3DMA.

Trying to diversify my mod with some more, maybe lesser known assets.

Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know the error that can cause misalignment in the GM editor?

My scenario comes with 4 factions automatically set as playable, but when I open it in my server, it says that the FIA (which is not present) is playable, and 2 of my other factions are unmarked which should be playable???

In better words: Things (factions, spawns, objects) are showing up incorrectly as something else entirely

[sage raven]

are you running Reforger Plus? that mod is known to do that

there is a fix though: https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/651D47734281507E-STF-ReforgerPlusFixes

[silver onyx]

Heya fellas, relatively new to modding, but still working on a project to learn the ropes. One thing that I've been looking into, but haven't quite been able to find is how to go about adding mappable keybinds as part of the mod (Like for example the keybinds for the vPad mod). Is there are particular place I should be looking for this info? I figured that either it's in scripting and I just haven't been looking hard enough, or I've been sending myself in a wild goose chase by looking in the wrong place.

Thanks in advance for any help!

[fickle briar]

I made a template of my faction for a friend, he's going to make his own faction. I changed the editableentitylabel to a different faction ID and enum, i also changed all references to the my faction. Still, when we load up a server with both factions, my faction overwrites his

Anyone got an idea for a place to start working on that?

I can see the GUID for both faction.conf are similar

[lament sleet]

what is the best way for working together on one mod with 2 or more people?

[exotic grove]

What are u doeing a Map oder something else?

[lament sleet]

just some configs and things like that

[exotic grove]

i did it so. that i uploaded the layers files oder just the complete project in a cloud and give them permission

[lament sleet]

and then they need to download it every time?

[exotic grove]

just if you or anybody else upload it

[lament sleet]

yeah that's what i meant....there must be better ways 😄

is it possible with git?

[exotic grove]

where ever you can upload

[hallow ore]

Verryyyy brand new to reforger but I’m hooked been sleeping on this game In the scope of modding, would it be possible to make a telekinesis mod? I was thinking a mod where ingame I could utilize the lightning strike and bleed out effect

[molten bramble]

Guess no one is having the issue I’m having. I even reinstalled , and it still locked on core no Matter which mod I open, this is my mod with no dependencies, the pic I sent was a example of what it looks like, I select my mod, and in resource 1 it stuck on core and I can’t move to my mod folder

[exotic grove]

If you can code it, maybe just look at the base code/script of the some funtions

[brave valley]

me and my team at Galactic Forces use github 🙂

Simple as having one person push changes they made, and you pull them. Or if you have made changes you simply push them and ur friend pulls them.

@urban hazel sorry ignore this ping just trying to find our DM.

[hallow ore]

Is anyone up for a side quest? 👀 making a superpowers mod with no clip/telekenesis/ fire bending and lightning out’ve the hands with a force field to stop bullets

I’ve been working on it all day with cursor, but i can’t figure out how to test it in-game. I think it’s a settings issue, is there a setting that lets every class/faction spawn with custom keybinds/actions?

[trail ginkgo]

Good evening everyone, I'm having a problem with duplicate GUIDs. Is there a way to fix this?

[umbral sluice]

Hey everyone, I've encountered a weird problem where placing any composition (even the simplest things like {42417A541F82B0F9}Prefabs/Compositions/Misc/SubCompositions/ChairMilitary_Cluttered_USSR_01.et) results in JIP errors on peertool clients. Is there anything I have to configure in the scenario for the replication to work?

[fickle briar]

So... Its possible to create and enforce predefined groups for the spawn menu, is it possible to also create predefined platoons and use them to group the groups?

[remote bronze]

some of the editable compositions are not designed to be placed on the map, they are for MP usage with gamemaster or conflict. there is a base prefab variant of those usually which you can place down. However I do not see any E_ prefab in what you posted, so you are sure you already placed that one? Also after editing you will want to load the world again before trying to join with peertools.

[umbral sluice]

Yeah, I didn't know that I had to reload world before trying peertool. It works fine now

[sudden sable]

Hello

I am trying to delete a prefab building/composition via script

I am following tutorial for deleting an entity shown here (bottom code sample):
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Entity_Lifecycle#top-page

I can debug and step through delete this; getting called on the entity - but entity does not delete from world
Does anyone know why building will not delete?

[split blade]

at a bit of a loss, my project seems to crash when entering play mode and I can't figure out why. Nothing changed to my knowledge it just stopped working :/ there's no info in the logs to help, any of our green bois able to help out with pointing me in the direction of the crash? Crash GUID: bdbbe1c5-66d9-44ea-bcf3-4de30eff42d1

[remote seal]

There is DeleteEbtityAndChildren (or similar) function for your task (in EntityHelper as I remember)

[sudden sable]

thanks - that almost works... but it leaves the doors and windows for some reason 😫

I got the same result using RplComponent::DeleteRplEntity

tried to descend hierarchy manually and call DeleteRplEntity on all the children but that didnt work either (same result)

[remote bronze]

Use delete entity and children method helper.

And for buildings, especially the interior some complicated hacks are needed. For 1.6 we will add a new utility to handle it

[sudden sable]

Thanks @remote bronze - plz see above gif where I tried calling SCR_EntityHelper.DeleteEntityAndChildren(...);
It almost works... but the doors/windows remain (all other interior elements to delete as expected)
What sort of hack is needed to delete these extra things?

[scarlet edge]

So i'm sure this question at some point in time has been asked before, but i'm trying to figure out how to have two people working on the same project.

[sudden sable]

hello folks
i am so close to getting a mod working - just need some help to understand the final bit

basically all i am trying to do is have a user perform an action (ie push a button) and then spawn some entities..

i have this fully working in workbench running locally, but using peer tool (or my server) i can see that the entities wont spawn in if a client performs the action..

i think it has something to do with Authority/ownership, and client probably needs to make Rpc request but i am not so sure (as that didnt seem to work either).. can anyone help shed some light on what I might be getting wrong? thanks

[regal lintel]

Within your scripts you need the replication in order for the client & server to communicate to each other.

If it's already there and your not having any compiling errors prefabs may require RPL components.

Similar to build, your spawning in a object without RPL the server just denies it.

[sudden sable]

thanks onlybans

as far as replication goes i know these entities have RplComponents and if the authority spawns them in the clients DO see the newly spawned entities

my current thinking is on the custom user action, i should check if the invoker is Authority/server, and if so, simply invoke spawn entities method, but if not, then make Rpc call to the spawn entities method (ie. have the client tell the server “hey run your method which spawns in these entities”).. is that the right way of thinking about this?

[regal lintel]

Correct, I learned this with my decommissioning mod. The way I was explained about RPL was probably the easiest way to understand.

For you it's when the client activates the button the client is telling the server hey spawn this entity, without RPL/RPC the server would just deny it as there's nothing to back it up saying it's okay .

[sudden sable]

ok thanks ill try that process out again and see if i can get it to work

[regal lintel]

I dm you a something that may work, don't be afraid to cross reference existing scripts to see how you can set it up.

[ruby edge]

Anyone know how to set up a modern civil war style mod that overrides USSR into a US based militia? Not looking for the mod that's already been made, not trying to use the RHS packs as they take up too much mod space. If someone could help walk me through the steps that'd be much appreciated

[molten bramble]

Please anyone this is driving me insane, I’ve even uninstalled and reinstalled and I’m just stuck on the core files

[remote seal]

Check from which folder is loaded

Workbench just loaded packed version, instead of source.

[molten bramble]

Even when I make a new mod it does it.

[wild mauve]

Send a pic of the new project ?

Most common issue is instead of selecting the source project people tend to select the packed project, exactly what @remote seal Vlad said.

I have even done this a few times, especially when you scan for projects.

But a new project should not be locked at all.

[wild mauve]

When you open workbench at the window where you choose what project to open is there a lock on your project ?

[molten bramble]

Ok I’ll double check when I get home, thank you for pointing me in the direction

Prints

[sudden sable]

yes with prints I ran the dedicated server tool and was able to see the issue

Not really much you can do other than check the values on server vs client. The easiest way is generally to print the data.

yep.. this is the way! lol

Hi everyone. Please help, I just started learning Enfusion Workbench and I can't figure out how to instruct the bots to get into the helicopter and tell them to fly to the waypoint. Is this done via scripts? Or can it be done with regular prefabs?

Why i cant import .wav file?

oh nvm, i just import it manually by dropping in folder with my project

I was just curious if anyone knew the specifics of why BI decided not to go with UE engine and stay with their own proprietary build? Im in no way advocating -just wanted to know the details of the shortcomings of UE for a game like this

[raven pike]

Any way to add an action to the actionmanager component of a vehicle without having to edit the prefab? I used Grays Adjustable Doors mod as a reference and it seems the prefab of the doors are modified. Any other methods?

[sudden sable]

Hello... why when spawning AI via script why are they not attacking? Any ideas?

[sudden sable]

I am not BI but this just makes the most sense..

UE isn't used to make games on ArmA scale..
They would likely need to get down into the engine level to implement things like replication scheduling - which obv they wouldnt be able to do if paying for a UE license

Also, the engine is the core of the business from which ArmA + other things BI does grows.. not owning the engine would mean they would be at the whims and direction of UE and that presents a huge risk for a company that makes ArmA games as its core competency

[bold axle]

Thanks for answer. yes I was mostly interested in the Scale aspect, I see alot of UE promoters saying Arma's etc could "easily" be handled by UE but I just dont see any games that showcase that at all

[sudden sable]

yea... talk is cheap 🙂

they might be looking at reforger now - forgetting that ArmA 4 is going to be way bigger and more complex.. and that reforger is a test bed

[pulsar nymph]

You need to be on the prefab to change / add components

Actually you might be able to change some things with script lol

[bold bolt]

The closest would be Gray Zone Warfare and they needed to do a lot of custom solution to just handle 6.5x6.5km map, so imagine something like Altis which is 30x30km

There is also interview of our CEO and lead engine programmer that also goes over the subject of why using own engine and not UE

[bold axle]

Huh -never heard of it. looked it up and looks pretty but alot of bad reviews (not always telling). Does game feature free roaming AI as well?

Ill have to track down that CEO breakdown as i find this stuff interesting

[ebon monolith]

hello evebory , iam tryng to do a vehicle, but every time i try enter in the car the game crahs , i think is because o vehicle coliders

is wrong to make like this?

[raven pike]

Thanks for the input, will this cause any conflicts if other mods also edit the prefab of vehicles? I am trying to figure out the best to do this and not have conflicts with other mods

[raven pike]

Also to add upon that, is there a way to use a config class instead of defining a new configuration when adding the action to the actionmanager?

[mortal sorrel]

What solved it?

I tried to enter all the servers that have mods, but this problem comes out to me

And when I enter a normal server, it enters me

[twilit barn]

I read that article which also mentioned Arma 4 will have a 900sq km map (which would equal 30x30 km). Does this mean Altis map is confirmed for Arma 4?

[uneven marsh]

Anyone know what this error is? Can't publish my mod, never had this issue beforew

[sonic coral]

The map of Stalker 2 is 60 sq km large and in UE 5.
But all of these have differing focuses than enfusion and the access of vehicles & layout of roads and focused urban environment and content have all the impact of one’s movement on any given map.
Thus a map maker can make a map feel much larger or smaller than it actually is.
Similar to urban design/architecture.

[lusty sentinel]

Hey does anyone know what the IntercomTransciever is for BaseRadioComponent?

I know what RadioTransciever and RelayTransciever does but dont know Intercom

[bold bolt]

Not only map maker, but pace of the game, you could have vehicles and characters going slower than real life, and it will make your map feel bigger, there is many tricks to make it so

[lyric quiver]

Hey guys, any possible help with custom factions in ArmA Reforger? I did manage to make it show in game, but when I try to spawn, I cant choose character/loadout and because of it I cant spawn at all. Been stuck over 1 month rn....

[wild mauve]

Have you made a spawn point for the faction to spawn at ?

There is a few things to check, but can't remember off the top of my head right now.

But mainly spawn point and faction manager is most important for spawning in game.

Your faction needs to be in the faction manager and set to playable, then you need a Spawn point affiliated to that faction.

[uneven marsh]

Any idea what Error code 524 is when trying to publish a mod?

[raw falcon]

Can I force a ping for peer tool to test how well my code handles high ping?

[lyric quiver]

I can see it in GM, so I pick is as playable side...after that, I create spawn point, which allow me to go to spawn screen, choose a predefined group what I have made, but I cant choose loadout and role...so I have empty screen there and no ability to actualy spawn

[idle pollen]

Can anyone tell me how to open .pak files

[wild mauve]

I will have a look on my side.

Is this a custom scenario or vanilla scenario ? 🤔

[lyric quiver]

Vanilla

Planning to make it as faction, which will change always US faction in the future, so when we play custom scenario from someone, it will change the US faction to ours.

[wild mauve]

What spawn point are you using?

[lyric quiver]

US One

Without that I dont have even option to spawn

[wild mauve]

So your faction overrides the US FACTION and uses the same factionkey ?

[lyric quiver]

Its based on US Faction, it doesnt overrides, but I made it based on it

Is anything I can send, screenshot, link on the mod or anything? Because me explaining something, I am doing for first time, so I am digging throught its really hard

[wild mauve]

I could be wrong but spawnpoints are factionKey based and you need the correct faction key in order to spawn.

Send a pic of the GM faction window to my DM.

It could also be the gamemode that you are trying to play.

If you want to achieve the goal of playing your faction on any scenario that has the US it would be best to overright the US FACTION this way the factionkey and othe important settings stay the same as the scenario.

[bold axle]

Ive never seen a response to "VBS" that is not outright antagonistic by either moderator or Dev. Its not like people are scrambling "They are the same!!" -obviously we all know the story. But they did share many initial code and Devs and fall squarely in the same type of Genre (yes i know one is now used exclusively for Military while other is public gaming). I used to own both -I just dont see the need for such bad tempered responses -its weird

[hollow rampart]

people know the difference far less than you credit them.

there is no "getting some features from vbs to arma"

sure there is shared past. but that has branched in completely different directions already

and if we dont point that out, people assume they are the same

Having the same exact logo doesn't help separate the two I'm sure

[zealous kettle]

Heyo I am trying to make a flyby but running into something weird the plane is unrendering if you dont look at it directly any idea how to fix that guys?

[empty nexus]

Move the whole entity instead of just the mesh within local space

Camera frustum culling factors in the origin of the entity

[bold axle]

Thats understanable but what isnt is the unsaid feeling of contempt when even mentioned. It could easily be a nice friendly exchange "Oh yeah, we used to be connected but are now different companies entirely. Here are some things they do have in common ..." etc..but its NEVER like that . Its always reacted to with a sense of utter contempt like "How dare you !! They are NOTHING like us and have ZERO affiliation". Again, its just weird. Ive seen other Wargames mentioned and a small conversation of similar feature was allowed to be expressed without condemnation to "Offtopic for THEE!!" Now if it was Codemaster.s.....Id get it...

[hollow rampart]

Its probably just to get it over with.

[zealous kettle]

thanks bacon ill give it a go

[nova delta]

I think people are just tired of it. As it always gets brought up over and over

[bold axle]

Right but why wouldnt it? Meaning "hey this cool military simulator does this?", "wouldnt it be nice to emulate X,Y,Z..." - makes sense dont it? If people compare some aspect of Arma to DCS do we all freako out and go "Differnt game ! Foul ball". Its like theres some inherent bad blood and the higher ups just dont even want it mentioned at all

Now if people were demanding or bemoaning "Hey why dont we have_X since VBS does.." - then i could see the frustration

[deep quarry]

how can I move the position of the numbers I added ? they appear to be locked (all the layout seems locked) I just want to put the red numbers on the right side

There is not bad blood from company, dont speculate

Its just that it gets repeated all the time, people tell those that it is mot the same. Then it gets asked again and again

People with green names here also express their opinions. They are not representatives of BI and if they get annoyed its their own personal behavior. Not the company.

See them as any other user in here.

[nova delta]

This is usually what happens 😅

[deep quarry]

thanks. but whenever I restart workbench the layout goes back to this. (To have the red numbers on the far right I need to put "OpfTickets" under "ScoreRed"

[swift wraith]

Editing layout prefabs wont allow you to re-order elements inside by moving them around. You probably could get a similar result by assigning the Z Order to each elements one by one
What is the name of the layout you are trying to edit ?
(also for futur reference, if you need UI/UX related help dont be shy to ask in #enfusion_gui)

[deep quarry]

Oh thanks I will ask there thank you. the layout is {47864BB47AB0B1F4}UI/layouts/HUD/CampaignMP/CampaignMainHUD.layout

[swift wraith]

Should be enough for your usecase, but be advised modifying prefabs inside your layout is bad practice as it is unsafe (if we ever update this layout, it might break your own layout)

[deep quarry]

Oh wow that worked, thank you!!
and thanks for the advice I'll try to use my own layout as soon as I figure out how to do it.

[bold axle]

Hehe -ok fair enough, thanks for your response. Hopefully some day, fruitful discussion and appreciation (or the opposite) of features could be discussed freely here. Im not kidding or appeasiing -but when i had VBS Private edition -the AI was 5x worse than Arma's as I would get a frozen "Cant get there" while they were in open desert. Looks like theyve come a pretty far way at least as far as thats concerned but proofs in the pudding

[nova delta]

You can use off topic channels for that

In this case, it was off topic here

[bold axle]

Shooting from vehicles aint Off-topic as its a part of Arma franchise up to Reforger

[nova delta]

it's not part of Enfusion

Go to off topic

Or design channels

[bold axle]

So we cant discuss if it will become a part of Enfusion as Arma 3 had it? Seems a legimate question or discourse?

[nova delta]

It's not an engine thing

It's a game thing

if you want game designers to see or discuss this, best to do it on #game_design or #gameplay_arma

The people that would design or decide to have that, read there from time to time

[bold axle]

Ok

[fiery trellis]

Because people seem to think that because something was done in VBS, its going to happen in ARMA and its unhealthy, especially now with VBS4 which is completely different.

Why bother re-explaining over and over in detail? The comments normally involve "oh wtf how come all this stuff isnt in ARMA?"

[bold axle]

Yo cuz -chill out. Was already resolved if you read above. And like I said - as a common genre'd program with similar roots -it makes total sense to ask or request or admire something so similar. If you had read with comprehension rather than knee-trigger well oversold response "its totally different!!" ( making sense while having many, many aspects that arma games have)...you'd have gotten that

Already resolved where to discuss -no need to add fuel to fire

Hey guys, any tips on speeding up the map creation process ? I'm still relatively new to the workbench and i feel like the way I'm working on my terrain is very slow and non efficient

Maybe ask in #enfusion_terrain ?

But from what i heard making maps is a really tedious and long process

Hi there!

I'm looking to implement an intro text in my mission that activates once the players reach a certain point on their way to an objective. I have done things like this in arma 3 before (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noYqfa4iRe0&t=269s).

Is there anyone who was able to implement something like this in reforger?

[quaint oracle]

Oh will do, sorry i didn't realise there was that channel

[mellow grotto]

Just pointing you out to where you’re the most likely to get an answer ^^
No need to apologize and good luck

[quaint oracle]

Thanks, appreciate it

[sinful oxide]

@topaz moon what is this lmao

[topaz moon]

That's Leonard Axeman, it's written right there!

[sinful oxide]

haha it caught me off guard

[bold axle]

Not worried -bought Reforger first hour it released and probably have a solid 12 hours play time. I bought it just to support development for the future I dont really sweat features as long as i know they planning it for Arma 4

[sinful oxide]

Arma 4 should remain priority in my opinion reforger is nearly at its end of roadmap and the more hands on with A4 the better. I will say reforger for a lot of us modders is definitely something that was ground breaking and really good for what’s to come for the series it allowed much more then just modding it allowed us to have hands on experience with most of the engine.

And for the most part it taught a lot of valuable things and developed a lot of people’s brains around game development

Ive found that the WCS_Arsenal mod should have a "Thomas the tank engine" rpg in the civillian arsenal, but im unable to find it, and looking through both the WCS mods and the mod that removes it (to see what file it disables, it just said unknown) gave no result.
In the WCS_Arsenal mod i dont even find an entitycatalog for the civillian faction

[sterile portal]

hello guys, how to add an entity (it doesn't matter which one, the process itself is important) in Zeus (GM menu). I add the SCR_EditableEntityComponent config, set the PLACEABLE flag and then bind the entity to the SCR_PlaceableEntitiesRegistry, but it doesn't give any result...

[sinful spindle]

Add the config to editormode.edit then it will show up in gm mode

[sinful spindle]

Easier to import your own height maps

Im looking for a modding community im trying to build a DAYZ style freemode mod that i can share with everyone so we can see an influx in more dayz servers.

[wicked seal]

Anyone have any info for creating custom ballistic tables, Ive tried following the wiki but its a bit of a pain to follow. Im working a 9x39 Groza and am runnin into a few snags trying to get the ammo to penetrate properly.

[deep quarry]

what's the difference between Waypoint Attack and Waypoint Search and Destroy? I'm trying to find a waypoint that is good for vehicle crews so that they attack using the turret all the time without dismounting.

WP Attack works but only until they reach the location since it then marks the WP as completed but I see WP Search and destroy has holding time. are these interchangeable?

[blissful mason]

did you find a fix to this ?

[marble wedge]

Yes, the texture res isn’t a power of two, for example 256, 512, 1024, 2048 etc etc

[sinful oxide]

Fun fact there are developer names that are hidden in spawned in ai if you’re lucky enough to see them they’ll have an “alias”

For anyone who hasn’t already noticed these

[sterile portal]

thank you!!!

[dark hill]

Please, can someone clarify for me how mod licenses work? I talk about those mods which set up custom licenses. For example WCS. Their mods have following in the license:

This content may not be shared, redistributed, modified, or adapted in any way without the express written permission of the original author.

Any exceptions to these terms must be explicitly granted in writing by the author.

Does this mean that i'm not allowed to even use their mod for any of my mods unless i get their explicit writed allowance? (I wanna make scenario using one of their's scenarios and gamemodes).

Sorry if i'm asking in inappropriate channel, i didn't figure out where i can ask it.

I've read page about licenses - https://www.bohemia.net/community/licenses
And I also still don't understand fully how APL-ND works. It says:

No Derivatives - If you remix, transform, or build upon the material, you may not distribute the modified material.

Does this mean if i build my own mod upon any mod with such license, then i'm now allowed to publish it publically? Or This means that before publishing i'm required to ask mod's author for his allowance as well?

[gaunt sinew]

is there a reason why my flare gets stuck in the air after throwing? all it is is a duplicated smoke grenade with model changed so it should already have physics enables on it

[snow yew]

check your collider, maybe you scaled the model and the collider didnt follow suite or something along those lines

[gaunt sinew]

im assuming this? its my first time adding a model into reforger

[snow yew]

yup, youll need to add a collider, have a read at this https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:FBX_Import
just a single UBX_ collider should be fine in your use-case

[sinful spindle]

You duplicate the said model parts and add UBX_ in front of the duplicated pieces name.Shoube be 001 at the end.

[snow yew]

tri-meshes wont work with a UBX_ collider

[gaunt sinew]

this is something i can do in workbench right? or is it a blender thing

[snow yew]

is blender

and also theyre kind of strict about channel usage here (rightly so) but if you have any more questions just ping me in #enfusion_model

[twilit barn]

Counter strike did that decades ago, maybe they're paying homage?

[vagrant spear]

any resources on getting lighting on custom building interiors to look better than just everything looking bright?

[sinful oxide]

Use probes/volumes

BI has a bunch of stuff online on all that

[deep quarry]

I'd like to know too

A lot of modders are very restrictive with their licencing and not sure if 1) is anything really legal? 2) why prohibit others from changing or improving on a mod? Is not like we are selling or profiting with the mods they are literally free for anyone to use and I don't see how restricting them makes the community better. I mean the original mod will always be there.

Maybe what I'm saying controversial but I'm also talking as a modder myself.

[proven siren]

I just started modding arma, personally I'd be very happy if someone could take what I started an made it better in anyway. The things I know about modding couldn't even fill a thimble so if someone who is more knowledgeable fixes a mistake I made more power to'em.

[sinful spindle]

Yes,it’d be UTM.

[sinful oxide]

Perhaps

Does anyone know when the framework for jets will be released? I'm part of the USAF mod team and am a solo developer, we are wanting to start the transition over on reforger, but we are unsure of when there will be a reliable framework.

[nova delta]

Its BI btw. Not BIS. BIS is Bohemia Interactive Simulations.

can someone explain me what is the difference between regular "group_base.et" and any other prefab group please ? As for example "group_ussr_spetnaz_reconsquad.et", because I see no difference in the WB, is it simply to have a clone and be able to add different values ?

Hey, does someone from you guys also notice a high film grain at night time in EXP 1.5??

its nearly unplayable

[hollow flame]

was done on purpose to combat gamma cheaters im pretty sure

[snow yew]

yeah but it is a crazy amount i do agree

[twilit barn]

There's a server cli parameter to disable it, don't remember it off the top of my head.

[bold axle]

Been MP playing since Tribes pc (1998?) and ive never once been temped to cheat -i just dont get it

[old perch]

is tools down as mine launches but doesn't actually open anything

[twilit barn]

CLI param is -forceDisableNightGrain

[sage raven]

how does it affect HDR?

when i have HDR enabled on my monitor, i can see at night. without it, its pitch black

[twilit barn]

IDK I turned it off right away so I have no experience with it.

[inland lance]

you can also just disable it with a mod if you search for nightnoise.emat

Did you ever figure this out? I am trying to get Ai to spawn on an oilrig but they just spawn in the water.

[rustic flower]

I didn't find any configurable setting that allows it, there must be other ways but I've never continued to try to fix it. My assumption is that you might be able to fix it by modding the SCR_AmbientPatrolSpawnPointComponent where transforms on the Entity occur from line 387 to 389 for example a ETransformMode.WORLD is set on line 388, I haven't tried it but you can try ETransformMode.OFFSET and set the offset of the ambient spawner. This is all an assumption as I didn't test it.

[stark acorn]

yes

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Diag_Menu#General_Use f1

ah, yes. inches down the same page I took that image from... ok I think its working, thank you.

diagMenu CLI option is also handy when trying to establish some debug profiles. At work I have one work vehicles, weapons and damage debug

[twilit barn]

Look at the flags on the entity that the ambient patrol spawnpoint is attached to. I think it's called "relative to y." Just check that box and you should be good.

[normal wedge]

hello, im trying to make a simple Vbied Car ,but i have no idea how to do so . any links or videos i need to see?

[lucid tapir]

how do you want it to work? I never used them in game before but I assume you could just put a massive warhead on the vehicle's explosion thingy and then trigger it using C4 + switch.

[lucid tapir]

what are you working on

[distant idol]

Custom base composition

[lucid tapir]

maybe add a lamp

[normal wedge]

Trigger it by pressing a button

[normal wedge]

what do you mean the explosive thingy ?

[lucid tapir]

I just opened enfusion, lemme take a look

[normal wedge]

component ?

i tried duplicating the games car but im new to the components thingy , i just want to press a button and a huge cabooom ,

[lucid tapir]

Helicopter damage manager component, at the bottom theres a whole lot of stuff about making secondary explosions (I picked the mi8 because I know something on it already detonates like aa mininuke when they are destroyed. I added some battery explosion and selected "massive" so this is what I was thinking of, not really sure how you trigger it tho

[normal wedge]

THNX

[normal wedge]

WHAT ABOUT SCRIPTING IT TO A CUSTOM BUTTON IN THE SETTINGS SO PLAYERS CAN CHANGE IT

[lucid tapir]

I just know a few things about how gun and explosives work, I make up the rest as I go.

[normal wedge]

ty

[lucid tapir]

so I cranked that massive battery explosion scale from 1 to 3 and its pretty lit but its not really killing my bots standing around unless they are super close. they're only taking explosive damage from the battery explosion, no fragmentation which would shred them and cause em to bleed out before they can get gain consciousness.

[normal wedge]

thats what i need

[lucid tapir]

search: Explosion_Battery.et

[normal wedge]

only how to make it triggeredd by a button and make it changeable by the players

[lucid tapir]

and you can change it to being fragmentation and wipe out people who never even heard the car explode

[empty nexus]

Explosions are capped a little bit so you can't really have a singular big one, which is why my mini nuke spawns 50 small explosions in a spiral

[normal wedge]

and how to trigger it with a button ? lets say ( numpad 3 ) and i want it to appear in the settings so players can change it

ive tried searching for it but nothing so far

[quaint robin]

i need help

im changing the overlays but nothing changes

what is the issue?

[lucid tapir]

don't let bacon mislead you. you can always go bigger

[empty nexus]

haha it clips the audio

[normal wedge]

i said a vbied not RUSSIA NUKING OHIO

[lucid tapir]

you could probably scale that down by 80%, keep that dope nuke particle effect and still level city blocks without too many people questioning "balance" and "who is this mf that keeps crashing me to desktop"

[empty nexus]

Nuke doesnt crash anything

[lucid tapir]

3 of em at once def crashed me. I was trying to wipe all the trees off a map as fast as possible

[empty nexus]

Can you send console.log from crash? I have not experienced any while leveling arland and everon

[lucid tapir]

I use artilleryfx in gamemaster, do you have a seperate one mod or is this yours?

huh I guess it kind of is https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/5994AD5A9F33BE57-GameMasterFX

[empty nexus]

Nuke comes from Game Master FX, this one is not my mod

[lucid tapir]

working on it

[empty nexus]

If it crashes I need console.log from crash, low fps is not relevant

[lucid tapir]

it didn't crash

[plucky perch]

Not enough bayonets in the Reforger...

[lucid tapir]

I got the model for the gun. just need a modder who knows how to put it in the game and I'll pick up the 22" sword bayonet 3d model too.

[earnest sundial]

I would recommend against licensing models you do not have the ability to import to reforger yourself - generally licensing does not allow for transferring that license to someone else

Also just from a practical perspective there's a lot of work that goes in to importing assets to the game, the spending money licensing the model is generally the cheap part versus the time spent

[lucid tapir]

I wonder what % of 3d models that are purchased actually get modded into games or just sit in someones account untouched

[empty nexus]

More than half in my cgtrader account

[dark hill]

I agree with you!
Also here's another question which i don't know how to resolve as well.
Those licenses ask for explicit written grant from the author. Alright, WCS is big community and it's kinda easy to find ways to contact em. But on the other hand what should i do if i find some random mod with exactly same lines from some unknown modder? Arma's workshop doesn't allow me to just click on mod's author and send him a message, also i seen none of the authors leaving any ways of contacting them.

What way am I supposed to contact the said author to ask for his explicit allowance?

[lucid lark]

Does anyone know if its possible to open the .json save from Game Master into enfusion workbench? Is there a plugin that can read the meta data from the json to then open in world editor

[lucid tapir]

be cool if we could all trade them like pokemon cards but I guess that wouldn't solve the problem of none of us actually modding them anyways

[uneven shore]

Anyone else having the problem where none of their enfusion projects open up AT ALL?

[somber lake]

Hi everyone, I'm having a problem with my server. Since Monday, after the update, I've suddenly seen players flying or becoming invisible. Has anyone else had this problem? Which mod is the problem? Thanks for your help.

[lucid tapir]

thats a great question but I would hope and assume the answer is no. at least I've never seen those sample mods as dependencies before, ever.

actually? I don't need to give credit to bohemia for stealing their RPG prefab and making one that fires their 70mm Hydra rockets.

[honest flame]

I dont see a specific channel for dedicated server issues so i'll ask here (if i should move it to another channel please let me know). I'm running into an issue where I'm hosting a server for testing and my friends can connect to the server but I can't. It's locally hosted on my machine so i'm not sure why this is. Any thoughts?

[lucid tapir]

probably downloadload a helmet mod that does the things you want to do and then add those settings on your who items

[nova delta]

Or there was something iirc actually, but i do not recall what it is for.
I will check

Home key - jump to root menu
Insert - reset to default just for options in actual menu
Delete - reset to default for all options
Shift+Up/Down - faster movement through the menu
F1 - save actual options to user profile
F2 - load options from user profile

CLI parameter -diagMenu "filename" for override of store file
The options are always loaded from file upon engine start.

[lucid tapir]

I appreciate you Mario, but Vlad lemme know a few hours after you went to sleep I guess, I do love this feature though. Sooo good.

[coral pier]

I’ll try

[blissful flare]

Anyone thought of producing a toggle-able & adjustable mod that limits the amount of specific vehicles on a map at a time? Being able to adjust the values in GM would be icing on the cake, but it would be a huge help on vehicle spam & allow server owners to better balance their server.

As of now, the way we find balance is by decreasing XP on supply runs, capture points etc, and increasing the hit on XP by spawning specific vehicles. Of course, this causes issues with players getting mad over how we tweak these values. Being able to slap specific limits on specific vehicles would massively improve performance and overall balance.

I’ve thought about diving into this myself, but I wasn’t sure if anyone is already cooking something in the kitchen….

[lucid tapir]

littlebirds limited to 2 per team max and everyone wins - except for littlebird mains

Is there no way to delete objects when overridden the map layer? There so much junk I want to remove but its not letting me.

[remote seal]

nope, you have two options: delete them at runtime (for example, using EntityDeleter entity) or create your world from base of your base world, and copy-paste everything from base world and delete what you want

[static eagle]

Apologies thats a bit confusing for me as im kinda new to the workshop tbh. When you mean runtime like in game or in game in the enfusion and the 2nd one is a bit hard to understand icl but overall is a no which is sad

[remote seal]

also deleting many big things may affect AI navmesh, so probably you need to regenerate it

[static eagle]

I miss the "Hide" Feature in Arma 3 icl

[remote seal]

it's same as EntityDeleter entity in create tab

[static eagle]

But yeah, nah Im just trying to delete respawnable Trucks and tanks

[remote seal]

by runtime I mean delete created entities by some script after game start

[static eagle]

ah is there a video to watch on "EntityDeleter"

First time Im learning about this tool rn

[remote seal]

Just find it in create tab, it pretty straightforward - place, setup radius, test

[static eagle]

Again im new to workbench lmao

Idk what all of that is, im just messing around rn and watching videos. I find a video on it, thanks for the help

Ah nvm I just clicked on of what you mean

Has anyone seen this happen on Gogland map? I have the same mods on iraq, fallujah, and kunar and it wasn't happening. Only on ps5 too. It looks like thermals or something with the HDR.

[wild mauve]

Is splitting my mod up worth the hassle ?

I have a custom scenario on everon and the navmesh is massive in size.

I was thinking about splitting the mod into Navmesh & Mod.

This way I don't have to upload the navmesh everything I change something small in the mod.

If anyone can give me advice into this it would be appreciated.

Like possible issues... etc.

[remote seal]

navmesh should be with terrain or scenario (if big changes in terrain are made)

[remote seal]

Like possible issues... etc.
if player will not enable mod with navmesh he will get broken AI and many other bad things, if you force this by adding navmesh mod into dependencies of terrain/scenario mod then it will be same as placing navmesh in this mod

But there is one benefit: because navmesh is big in size and when uploading you addon you must upload all files even if you change single text file, so it will be faster to update

[wild mauve]

Cool...

so the one draw back is if the player "decides" for what ever reason the navmesh dependency is not worth adding he will get a broken game, Im fine with that, it is not my fault, Although as a Modder we have to cater to those kinds of people...😪

my problem is, when ever I change a small thing I have to upload the whole mod including navmesh (~800mb) which is now starting to cause problems when uploading to workshop.

[twilit barn]

Just make the navmesh a required dependency, but keep it a separate mod.

[wild mauve]

thanks for the confirmation !

Iv done that now, sadly I still cant upload to workshop, but this isn't a huge issue I will wait until I can.

[twilit barn]

Still trying to figure out how to get a custom MHQ to show up on the map when deployed in conflict game mode.

[vocal ferry]

vic just starts floating when placed anyone know how to fix

[elfin light]

hey guys, i have several problems while creating a map, the first one is when im spawning in a vehicle into the world and trying to drive it, it wouldnt move at all. it makes the engine sounds etc but it doesnt move.
the second problem is when im trying to place a pond as "lake" and then switch to game mode it crashes and throws an error

[fiery trellis]

It seems like it might be. I think we had this too and we didnt get invites but two of our names showed up in the mods contributors listing.

I think it may just be workshop bugginess

[earnest sundial]

My understanding of how it works is - once added those users will appear as contributors regardless of whether they’re present there or not (much like screenshots)

[drowsy ruin]

Anyone else can't upload?

[jolly bridge]

same

[drowsy ruin]

It's not common, right? Do you think it can be fixed today?

[jolly bridge]

Not common, sometimes it happens and fixes itself when you try a second time, but this seems to be a bigger problem. Being fixed today is what I’m hoping but like 7-8 months ago the workshop was down for like 3 weeks straight, so I dont count on anything.

[drowsy ruin]

Damn yeah, I remember.

[twilit barn]

Honestly I see someone say this just about every single day so I would say it is quite common. However I've not had a problem myself for a long time, but my mods are also quite small.

[wild mauve]

How do I make sure the faction manager counts the player into the correct faction.

I'm using enfusion Persistent Framework and my scenario only has one player which is assigned to faction (HVK_D15) but my problem is that the faction manager doesn't register that player so he is not counted into the faction.

I have tried multiple ways and I still can't get it right.

[stiff bluff]

I dont know where to ask this so i will ask this here. How do I change the voice lines of the ai so like if i wanted the ussr guys to sound more chinese how would i go about doing that

[lofty wigeon]

Hello everyone. I am making a new vehicle that have a custom turret. The vehicle uses the LAV25 character animations as base animation.
I am getting a character right arm deformation to scene root problem, like shown in the images.

What i have tried already:
- Reproduce the bone hierarchy in my turret, the same as the LAV25
- Change or delete gunner idle character animation (something still pulls the right arm no matter if there is no animation)
- Set LAV25_Empty animation for TurretStick, both in Vehicle and Character instances

I think some rig somewhere is pulling the characters right arm. In the LAV25 there is a animated stick, but in my model there is not. I tried to replace with BTR70 turret, and the right hand still is broken, but not deformed all the way to scene root.
I don't have ideas anymore, so any help will be apreciated. Thanks.

[acoustic current]

when i test my game after I publish it to the workshop, i dont see my arsenal the guns and the clothes
how can I add ? in game its empty, please help

[keen sand]

how do i make default game vehicles drive in a custom map in enfusion world editor

[quartz ibex]

In Conflict game mode, can you make the HQ location for each faction to be fixed instead of randomising every start. Thank

[vestal bronze]

Please recommend me a youtube guide video how to transfer existing scenario on a new map. I am total n00b with dev tools.

[acoustic current]

Im not randomizing I already have both USSR MOB and US MOB since from beginning. what do you mean bro? Still not working and my arsenal it's empty. Please help

[torpid mirage]

cant get the EPF spawnpoint to spawn players as a certain faction, spawn as no faction currently. anyone know to fix this?

[remote bronze]

The vanilla epf spawnpoint has no faction associated nor any logic for it. if you rely on factions you will need to add some logic yourself or wait for one of the next EXP updates where the mod is no longer needed

[wild mauve]

Iv been trying to do this but my scripting knowledge is not great.

If you get it right please let me know.

Armst Platform has got it right but their spawn is insanely involved with multiple other scripts and mods that all need to be present, so unfortunately not a plug and play type fix.

[tepid leaf]

Any helps appreciated, I’m having problems uploading a mod, and the reason it’s giving me is “” none, and idea how to fix this?

[exotic pelican]

T.A.O ain't working for me, any idea of what could be happening?

[thick nexus]

Do you know how to remove that fog?

[stable pollen]

We switched to gogland on our server today and we get this error a lot now. Did not had these errors on the previous map.

Also PS5 players have black and white screens when joining the server and the only workaround is switching between performance and fidelity mode a couple times.

Does anyone know what could be the problem?

[plucky obsidian]

Anyone know what to do here?

[twilit barn]

Sounds to me like it would be gogland

[acoustic current]

Solved. Entity catalog in faction manager was set to none instead of items. IF YOUR ARSENAL DONT SHOW NOTHING INSIDE DO THIS OK. PROBLEM SOLVED BY: @tepid tinsel thank you so much Sir!

[stable pollen]

We ruled that out. some PS5 players played on just the gogland map without any mods. no issues. Its probably gogland having a conflict with a mod i assume

[twilit barn]

Yeah if it started happening when you added that map, I would assume it's that map. (Or any other mods that got added when that change was made)

[stable pollen]

Only gogland and our conflict layout mod got added.

[static eagle]

Anyone know how to make sure supply points are refilling and how do you change the timings/config of it?

[gritty zephyr]

Hello, kindve a vague question but is there any way to "extract" a heightmap (data or image) from an existing map? Like one from the workshop? Coding an arty calc and having that would be really useful. Any other ideas would be great.

[empty nexus]

Download a mod that has an elevation tool and walk around the map writing down elevation every 1 meter and then create an ASC heightmap from that collected data

[gritty zephyr]

🥲

[static eagle]

How does one remove vehicle cool down? Cant find it in the configs

Found it nvm

[static eagle]

Still havent found this out, anyone got anything?

[static eagle]

Also another question how do I rearm vehicles (refilling rockets), which Area Radius is it? I cannot find it as it doesn't fit in the Refuling one. Or which Component is it?

[formal tartan]

Hello, I was wondering if this is the correct place to post this. I am trying to add a graphic to the in-game map (The one the player see's when pressing M), I thought I had found it in the Directory "ArmaReforger > UI > Textures > Map > Worlds > EveronRasteirized.edds", however this seams to be a "Vanilla" map with no roads or villages marked on it? If anyone is aware of the directory where I could find the correct file, I would appreciate it very much, or even link me to the BI Wiki page dealing with this matter? Many thanks!

In regads to the above message, you can disregard it. I was just sent the BI Wiki page pertatning to this information. I have included it below should anyone encounter the same problem as I.
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:2D_Map_Creation

[fervent cypress]

What determines how strong a rocket/missile is?
I've tried copying the RPG's default stats.
I have a rocket/missle that is now x5 as strong and twice as fast as the RPG, and it doesn't kill vehicles still.

How can I fix this? Its annoying.

[lean cosmos]

anyone know how i can fix this

[jovial shard]

Anyone know how I can remove a mod from the workshop after I’ve factory reset my pc?

[noble river]

Had the same thing happen on gogland. PS5 screens were messed up upon joining but could be fixed by switching the graphics mode. Not sure what mod it was that caused it yet. I would like to find out because that's a cool map. It doesn't do it if I load up the map on local host too rule out the map as the problem but as always seems to be a ps5 problem only.

[stable pollen]

Yeah, we love the map aswel

The workaround will be fine for now though

[noble terrace]

Anyone know why arma tools make my pc periodically go into limp mode lol

I mean the whole pc starts lagging, mouse barely responsive, audio output freezes, sometimes it freezes my whole pc I have to power cycle it

Is that normal for you guys because I feel like umm it’s a bit extreme? Nothing has ever made my pc act this way.

Did you ever solve this ?

[silver thistle]

Naw my man , I quit trying about 3 months ago , for some reason I’m just not able to make maps anymore , terrain won’t save, tried everything I could . Sorry bro

[noble terrace]

Damn I hate to hear that… I hope I don’t end up doing down the same path 😭

[silver thistle]

I’m not even sure what I could tell you to avoid to make sure it doesn’t happen, I took like a week break, came back and tried to start a new project and everything just went down hill . I kept trying for like 2 weeks straight but eventually just gave up because I just couldn’t make anything.

[noble terrace]

That’s horrible. I wish they would give us better resources. We should at least be able to diagnose our issues. This shi is quite literally bricking my pc but only sometimes and I genuinely have no clue why

Even keyboard commands don’t respond. Mouse moves very slowly and rubberbandy but can’t click anything. Audio stops working like I said, just a paperweight with a screen

[silver thistle]

Yeah it upset me a lot not being able to continue making maps , really was probably my favorite thing I’ve ever done , i love arma and dayz and making maps for them was something I’ve always wanted to do so when i got my pc i was so happy I couldn’t even explain it, but than after my little 1 week break and i came back , nothing wanted to work , there was times I couldn’t save my maps 2 minutes into creating the base terrain , and then there was times where I wasn’t even able to place a base terrain . I got overwhelmed and just gave up , I think I tried again about a month ago and still I had the same issues . I never could figure out why I all the sudden couldn’t create anything. I plan on building a new pc in the next 3 months so I’ve been telling myself I’ll try again when that times comes. Hopefully things will go smoothly than .

I hope you find the solution to your problems bro, I know how frustrating it can be

[noble terrace]

Thanks man and I hope you find yours! I’m kinda in the same boat, started making a map and was loving all of it, had some issues took a break, just now coming back and it’s freezing like hell

Hope to see both of our terrains on the poppin servers some day @silver thistle 💪 hopefully Bohemia will find some solution or compromise. If not to fix any issues then at least give us the knowledge so we can fix it or avoid it

[silver thistle]

@noble terrace If you want you can add me on disc my man , I’m not able to help right now but you can DM me and when I hop on in a few hours I may be able to give some insight or help with what’s going on . I understand how annoying and frustrating it can be , especially when you’re mid map creation and all the sudden it wants to stop working 👍

[noble terrace]

Sounds good brother appreciate it

[silver thistle]

Forsure bro, I’ll hit you up when I get home 👍

[inland tusk]

Hey all maybe a dev could give me a answer here. I have my map sitting as a manw entry but have some critical fixes to it. Am I allowed to upload a secondary non manw version separately?

[wild mauve]

To my understanding the answer is Yes.

As long as you don't update the MANW version, you can upload another version.

just maybe make sure as I can't 100% confirm this.

[wild mauve]

Just don't get confused on which mod is the MANW version, it will not be a good day, if you do

[wintry anvil]

Yeah I am in the same boat. I should fix a crash that is caused by BI publishing 1.4 straight to stable, but I cannot touch my MANW entry anymore 😢
But I understood the rules same way that as long as you dont touch the entry that is tagged with the MANW tags you should be fine.

[humble mason]

Any idea where is the config file that managed the magazine well classes?

[wild mauve]

There is no config file for magazineWell, it is a script.

Duplicate a magazine then right click on the magazine component inside the magazine prefab then click on "jump to script"

[smoky sinew]

Any idea which one

[static eagle]

Does anyone know if it’s possible to cycle through multiple textures on a single object, for example to create a slideshow or PowerPoint-like effect?

I have legit no idea what any of this means but I notice the amphibious vehicle's engine is a UCX collider and the truck that drowns has a UBX collider. Id be surprised if this works so pls do let me know that goes for ya,

Cannot do it in an official game master because the “ scenario “ isn’t on the vanilla terrains, leaving no option to load it

[normal ravine]

Hi, does anyone knows what is the prioritization of override structure?
For example , I have two different mods, each one of them override the same composition.acp with different audios assigned.
The question is, which mod will override the other and what depends on that?

Perhaps it's mod list order within the config file, the second to load is the one who override the file at last?

[normal ravine]

FYI, This worked, all good 🙂

[deep quarry]

[twilit barn]

Yes, custom vehicle from a vehicle depot. I've been trying to figure this out for over a week now. I'm sure I've seen this issue come up before, but discord search is absolutely horrible.

[fringe zephyr]

I'm about to lose my mind with aresenals. I routinely add items to our arsenal and about 1 in 6 times it just doesn't show up in game. I cannot for the life of me figure out what the problem is. Question: What are the prerequisites for an item to appear in an arsenal?

[empty nexus]

Step 1: If problem then console log

[fringe zephyr]

Would something like that be logged? I figured it was a problem with a "flag" on the item or something like that

[deep quarry]

does anyone know how to enable game master when playing a non-game master scenario offline? it can be done when you are on a server but not offline for some reason

[deep quarry]

There are a few things that need to be correctly configured in the config file. Try duplicating and editing an entry to add your item, see if that works.

[fringe zephyr]

Yeah, that's what I usually do but no luck half the time. Then I try to change (for instance) Weapon, Weapon -> Weapon, Default, -> Equipment etc

and sometimes that works but I have no idea why

Hi everyone, I have just started in Enfusion and don't have a lot o experience in engines like it. I am trying to make cinamatics for my milsim unity and I am running into this problem:

One of the mods for our uniform is GRS. We use ModularBeltsAMPBags and ModularVestsAMPRigs, both of which have the Bacon Loadout Editor as a dependency. I wanted to use the same uniform we use in the game within the cinematics. However, Bacon adds the option to edit some items of the uniform, literally edit (photos 1 and 2 attached(Taken from within the server, not from Enfusion)), being able to change the position of the pockets, vest configuration, whether or not to use drop leg, etc. However, the problem I have is that, when adding the mods within Enfusion, when I try to edit a bot's uniform, I have three more fields (photo 3 attached), where I can place the belt and drop leg, but I can't edit the pockets of the drop leg, the backpack, the vest, or the helmet, things I can do when playing on the server and using Bacon. I can only assemble the base of the uniform (photo 4 attached), and I wanted to be able to assemble it completely, with the pockets and nvg...
I noticed that Bacon added some components to the editor (photo 5 attached), but the only option I have within the component is to activate or deactivate it, and even when activated, the fields to edit the uniform do not appear (photo 6 attached). Include my Resource Browser and my project dependencies in the images, if necessary. (photos 7 and 8 attached), my project is named "Teste".

Does anyone know how I can completely edit the bot's uniform to match the one I use on the server?

oh, you spelled your discord name wrong

im joking

sounds like a mexican standoff

[hidden lotus]

Lol

[lucid tapir]

what did the black mamba mod do?

[hidden lotus]

It's just they are not allowed to use it so took the decision to make it unlisted

[lucid tapir]

Im just curious what it was, I never heard of it

[hidden lotus]

Oh it was an armored vehicle

[lucid tapir]

I do know of certain groups sabotaging their mods with dependencies and debug things that spawn instead of the actual vehicle or weapon, or they dont show up at all in arsenals or game master, might be an option idk

make it dependent on a massive mod that would have no purpose on their server but on other serverse

[hidden lotus]

Hmm interesting

[wild mauve]

Have you uploaded your mod before ? If so you could go to the workshop find your mod and copy old GUID or look in the Meta file of your downloaded mod.

or go to plugins and look for GUID generator. It will make a new GUID for you.

If its so crystal clear, how abt you try to find it, theres not too many comps on the heli

[wide lava]

Where do i find the EBT add on?

[split rain]

obviously something to do with the heli would be part of the heli. If it were clear i wouldnt be asking. i've looked over the heli for an hour and seen nothing that directly coorilates to the Supply capacity. If you don't know then dont answer. If your solution to a answer is to "go look" then keep it to yourself

[twilit barn]

He knows and he's right, but its not simple at all, its overly complicated imho. So in short, the answer to your question is "no."

[jade current]

I'd just like to add that if your reply is gonna be "don't answer If I'm not gonna like your answer" then keep it to yourself.

Regardless

SCR_ResourceComponent is where that's changed, but not specifically the component on the heil.

The component on the "supply storages" that are added to the heli via the SlotManagerComponent.

[split rain]

thank you

[storm gull]

Anyone able to help?

[storm gull]

Does anyone know whats up with my connection issues here? I am running WCS-Core in order to individualize whitelising for the bases for an AAS style, They wont interconnect

[wooden gazelle]

hi - if i place a cyan object and add rigid body on it seems i can still pass through it. for example BarrelMetal_01.xob seems to has this behavior. Anyone know how to fix or am I missing something? Thanks in advance!

[vital imp]

Hello All,
hope this is the right channel.
RHS NVG Question
I tried to add them to backpacks but this does not seem to work. Are they too big or just cannot be added as deposit?
Can i attached them to a helmet then?
I would overwrite the prefab and use storage manager.
Do i need the battery box for them as well?

thanks
Armin

[rugged shard]

Ehm.. A stupid question....
Its possible to make a Server or something with a Map project directly from Workbenmch without uploading to Workshop so you can showcase your work?

[jade current]

Hit the big green play button

[rugged shard]

Does this work to play a multiplayer?

i do this myself.. but i wanna show it to some dudes without uploading the mod/map....

[fringe zephyr]

Is the workshop backend down? We're getting JIP replication errors

[jade current]

The only way for them to have access to it is for you to upload it or pack it and manually send it to them and I've never tested the second option.

If it's a map, then you're gonna have to find somewhere to upload gigs of data to.

At that point you should just upload it to the workshop. It literally is a place that you can upload gigs of data to. lol

[opal walrus]

I don’t recommend that option… lots of arma folks steal and copy right maps

[jade current]

The only true way for a mod to be private is if it's privately distributed. There's nothing wrong with manual distribution, just don't send it to a thief and you wont have any issues. lol

We're not dealing with Steam any longer. We're dealing with B.I. directly for mod hosting. They've made it perfectly clear and proved that they will ban and remove mods that are stolen.

[opal walrus]

Mean while SaMatra koth servers were stolen and are still around lol

[jade current]

Running a server with someone elses mods isn't illegal or against the TOS.

If they've ripped his mods and reuploaded them then he should contact the correct authorities.

[opal walrus]

They tried, they got ties to the inside and stole it all

[jade current]

Likely story

[old wharf]

not sure if this is the right spot but does anyone know the fix or work around for this warning i get when i add a second attachmentcomponent as a child to muzzlecomponent

[rugged shard]

yea.... can you upload and make it ehm... locked? or maybe just delete it after a test?

[jade current]

Not sure what you mean by "locked" but you can upload it "unlisted" The password protect your server.

Then*

[empty nexus]

Which still makes the mod publicly visible on your server page on BattleMetrics which uses official server browser API

[deep quarry]

maybe mods are not meant to be private

[rugged shard]

should be up to the one making it..

[barren field]

Has anyone tried to fix the spawn of mines inside minefields?
so that all mines are adjacent to the Terrain

I want to make AP mines POM-2 for BM-21, so that they spawn in the zone after the missile arrives.
Since the mines will be visually connected to the ground, when they are not in contact with the terrain in the zone, they will look like contact threads sticking out of a small hill.

[storm bolt]

Anyone know why when i put a custom prefab in the world editor it loses the textures?

[snow yew]

try restarting the workbench, quick fix that works most of the time for me at least

[storm bolt]

gonna try, thx

didn't work, any one know ho to fix it?

[lucid tapir]

Im trying to load into my test world with less addons, mainly all the RHS stuff and im pretty sure I disabled everything dependent on RHS and RHS_core and content stuff. Its still available in my mod list when I get into workbench. Have I not disabled everything or do I need to start a new project or whats the deal?

[indigo venture]

how do i import the games models to blender to do animations?

[gloomy garnet]

Use chatgbt or Youtube

[opal walrus]

Chatgtp 2025…..

[wild mauve]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Weapon_Animation/Basic_Tutorial

Follow the tutorial

[fringe marsh]

Yall still havent fixed the polyline issue

[spiral vortex]

it's in the arma reforger tools steam installation dir

[indigo venture]

I have the pose library never saw anything about importing weapons though

[indigo venture]

Tried using ai didn't really work tbh I'll check yt tho

[wild mauve]

You can't import the games models (.xob) you need to import your own models to my understanding Maybe asking in the animation section.

https://discord.com/channels/105462288051380224/976155605100294224

[indigo venture]

Hm alr bc I wanna work with the games model and rig to do some animations for them yk I'll ask though

[wild mauve]

You can't work they are locked, only weapon you can work on is the sample Rifle

[indigo venture]

That's dumb sample weapon won't work for jamming animations for every gun yk

[wild mauve]

Well it is just a sample weapon for the tutorials.

Unfortunately, there is no way of getting the games weapon models into blender.

[indigo venture]

That sucks bc then it'll be harder to make quality animations without knowing what the rig looks like for it yk plus how the weapon looks in the hands compared to a free model of the same weapon

[jade current]

You don't.

[indigo venture]

Ah

[warm mirage]

you can overwrite the .ets with your own and it should change any generator that used that one

if you select one of the generated spots on the map , it will tell you what is in it

[indigo venture]

alr ill try and find that maybe you can help cuz ngl idk how to go around the enfusion stuff its new still to me personally

[jade current]

He wasn't talking to you, someone removed a message.

[indigo venture]

ah my bad

[warm mirage]

yea some dude ask about the generators for trees

[icy sonnet]

BACKEND (E): [RestApi] ID:[15] TYPE:[EBREQ_WORKSHOP_UploadAssetFile] Error Code:524 - Unimplemented 5xx, apiCode="", uid="", message=""

[lucid tapir]

Reason: ""

[hazy canopy]

It means workshop broken lol

I had this for the last 5 or so days.. If I set my VPN to Germany it publishes just fine

[icy sonnet]

Greattttt also thank you!

[pallid prawn]

Hello, I want to make a base in Everon for my clan, I would like to use it with game master, so far I have created it, but I want us to always appear in the base I assigned, how do I do it? thank you.

[warm mirage]

Bi running out of money or wa ?

they already upped the price of the (game) engine test. to 40 euro. and now asking for more because they can ? bit of a joke isnt it

if base game had a ton of content it would be diffrent but its modders that have been keeping the lights on here , without them reforger would have been nothing the few people that play vanilla conflict is nothing compared to the people that are on modded content

[deep quarry]

well first of all vanilla has a lot of players. and second this is just a DLC that you don't have to buy. I see nothing wrong with this.

[warm mirage]

nm you dont see the bigger picture here

[deep quarry]

It's not even game related content.

[warm mirage]

a lot of people will understand what i am saying here and defently the modder will

[cunning zealot]

Out of curiosity does anyone know a way for me to open two editors at once? trying to get the names of certain objects used in other maps and finding them one by one closing and re-opening each time sounds a little painful

[deep quarry]

right click the workbench icon on taskbar

[cunning zealot]

then? haha sorry im a bit slow

[deep quarry]

then just click on the arma reforger workbench thing to open it haha

[cunning zealot]

i totally opened task manager...

thanks!

@deep quarry Wouldn't happen to know why my map has this shadow over it.. If i zoom out far the whole place turns black and trees etc turn neon

But then looking at this (absoloutely stunning) map from workshop it doesn't appear to do the same..

[deep quarry]

could be something to do with the topographic image of the map but terrain modding isn’t really my area. You’ll get better answers in #enfusion_terrain probably

[cunning zealot]

Okay will do thankyou! 🙂

[rare fractal]

Good afternoon

I'm experiencing a recurring issue with high CPU usage on my Hostinger hosting / AMP (Phobos). After about 2 to 3 days of normal operation, my server's CPU usage reaches 100% and stays there.

Is this happening to anyone else? Or is there a solution?

[snow yew]

are you using mods?

more than likely that the cause is a mod

[rare fractal]

Yes

I'm using the basics (RHS - WCS and ConflictPVERemixed4x).

I used them more before, and after removing them, nothing changed.

If remove these three, it becomes vanilla :/

[neat nebula]

Would someone link me please the BI Rules for Workshop Maps or general TOS, please? 🙂

[lost knot]

Hi, when using the generator for walls with a polyline, for some reason my walls have starting firing just one piece into the direction of the vertex for the polyline. instead of following the path, is was working fine before but has stopped working. If i try it as a spline it works, just not as a polyline. Any help appreciated

[cunning zealot]

Is there a way to place vehicles for testing on roads in the editor? Similar way to A3?

[split pulsar]

Like you created a Vic and want to test it in Arma reforger tools?

[warm mirage]

You just pull the prefab into the world of whatever you want to test or use and press play

[autumn walrus]

lets say i want to take a model and use it on a prefab vehicle so that it behaves the same way as the prefab and looks like the model, do i need to scale it to match in blender before importing it into enfusion

[jade current]

What exactly are you trying to do?

[autumn walrus]

send the btr to blender so i can scale my model to match its dimensions

[jade current]

You can't use the in game models elsewhere.

[autumn walrus]

i understand that, im trying to use the btr as a base for behavior but make it look like the model i have in blender

im new to all this so maybe im saying it wrong

i want to make a vehicle that behaves like the btr but looks like my 3d model in blender

[jade current]

You need your model in blender to be the correct size and share the exact same skeleton with the BTR then.

[autumn walrus]

correct

[jade current]

Yes, I know.

And as I said, you have no way of determining the size of the BTR in order to do so because you can't export it and use it in blender.

You also don't have access to the armature that the BTR uses

[autumn walrus]

okay thats what im needed to know

[jade current]

That's why people make their own models and custom animations.

[autumn walrus]

i mean it seems like a dumb question now, but i didnt rrealize thats how it worked

[hazy canopy]

Does anyone know who makes the better map ent's? looking for the one for Everon

i believe i have found it

[low nebula]

Does anyone know why i cant get a straight edge on the paint tool? I have changed the strength, radius, falloff, angle, linear, smooth, sphere, inv-sphere, etc and cant get a straight edge

[severe kite]

getting alot of rendmainimpl errors just using the workbench..

[split rain]

Is there still current issues with workbench and backend connection? getting an error just when i click publish

[sudden sable]

is there a way to reset object origin?

ie. reset the orientation of the rotate tool with the surface?

[deep quarry]

ctrl + shift + down?

[indigo venture]

Are there any tutorials that don't yk suck for enfusion but actually go over all the steps and are well documented and uh maybe able to explain stuff so I don't wanna break my keyboard?

[sudden sable]

no that flips the object around.. I mean orient the axis of rotation.. if you look at the image you can see that they are skewed ie. X axis is not parallel with the ground

[sudden sable]

what are you trying to do exactly? theres plenty of good tutorials from BI:

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

[indigo venture]

Literally anything also the wiki sucks dude doesn't tell me how to do certain stuff at all giving me that is horrible idk how to do lods or even set up anything

[left mountain]

Soo its been a while since i have created a mod but I just finnished one and went to upload it, but after i uploaded it its only 47kbs and cant find any sign of my mod. Wtf do i do? Is there a step i missed?

[royal niche]

I don't like it. I would prefer them sell sth of real value I could buy to "support" instead of a worthless meme pack.

[sudden sable]

I love the meme pack.. gunna get some of the posters printed.. what wasnt clear though is are the tiers giving you different stuff (ie. I pay $20 and get more content?) or is it more like a donation and I can pick and choose how much I want to give?

[plucky blade]

Prolly

Youl have to try!

[obtuse thicket]

Can you add dependecies after the project creation ?

found it.

[left mountain]

I have a big problem with a mod that wont pack. Mostly scripts and some prefabs. What do I do? (The packed Files are 47kb)

[jade current]

What errors are you getting?

[left mountain]

None, i just upload the mod and the file is 47kb with no errors. Just packs the addon.gproj file and the other one. All of the .c and .et files is created in workshop and saved.

[jade current]

So what's the issue?

[left mountain]

The prefabs and scripts dont get uploaded or packed. And the file should be bigger (prefabs are 1 car 7 people)

[jade current]

As is new models for a vehicle and new characters?

Prefabs and scripts are just text files. So if all yours adding is scripts and prefabs then your mod will be small...

[left mountain]

Ok🤔 its a new model yes and the people are duplicates of civs with new Clothing. But does it the upload packed into the addon.gproj?

[jade current]

Rephrase that question so it makes sense.

[left mountain]

Its a new car with its own 3d modell. The people have new (not vanilla) Clothing. So should it say in the log that its been uploaded?

[jade current]

So you're having problems uploading then? I assumed that was the case because I've never heard anyone or had any issues packing mods.

[left mountain]

Yeah i upload it and the file is 47kb. When I try to find any of the stuff i made i cant. Have tried moving it in and out of folders, importing, duplicating them and cant figure out why. Also tried duplicating just a vanilla car and placing 1 in a file and 1 direct in the mod file.

[jade current]

Are you actually downloading the mod after you upload it?

[left mountain]

Yes both on pc and xbox

[jade current]

Send me the mod id and I'll give it a look when I get home from work

[left mountain]

Ty

[deep quarry]

Is there something I need to do when importing a 3D model into reforger? cause it doesn't have collisions (I can walk right throught it) even tho it has the components

[left mountain]

Thank you. My dumb Ass had 2 manifest. One of the things i tried was making a new mod with same files and the manifest lured itself into one of the folders and i probably fixed it at some point😅

[jade current]

Having properly configured components are more important than just having the components. Lol

[deep quarry]

I basically copy pasted them from a prefab that already works. All the the settings are there not sure what else to do

[jade current]

Are you sure you even imported a mesh that has colliders?

[deep quarry]

Not sure. I just wanted to test something out so I downloaded a free model to do my testing. I've never done this before so that's probably it.

[jade current]

If you've never done this before then you should be on the modding wiki reading everything.

[deep quarry]

You're right. Thanks.

[jade current]

No offense to you or anyone that's new but, that's literally the first thing all of you should be doing. https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Category:Arma_Reforger/Modding
It covers the basics and some of the intermediate things.

[deep quarry]

Thanks. I'm not new at modding, just new at 3D model stuff. Thanks for the link

[proven siren]

I need some help, and I don't really know what channel to ask in. So, I have this (Photo: Alice frame with some props attached) it looks and works fine in tools but on a server the Ammo can spawns on the ground and doesn't follow the player.

A little bit more info about the setup here, the ammo can is placed there using a SlotManagerComponent, it has a the same components as the rearming bag, and works like intended in tools. i.e. You can grab ammo by looking at and interacting with it. The smokes and bayonet are placed using the BaseLoadoutClothComponent and work as intended in tools and on a server. But are non-interactive, i.e. static.

[shy ocean]

Workbench still having issues with uploading?

[near dagger]

Top for those who are interested to see the evolution of the mods since 2022

[warm mirage]

all the stalker 2 assets in exp

[nova delta]

@hollow rampart

[warm mirage]

im on to you lot

[hollow rampart]

arent these our eastereggs? 😅

[warm mirage]

yes they are 😛

you cant hide nothing

but cool you guys got the assets of stalker 2 . they also have stuff of you guys in game like the map behind the trader

[nova delta]

https://tenor.com/view/felixesmioz-cat-monkey-monkey-reaction-monkey-laughing-gif-23982657

[lost knot]

Hey guys i'm placing assets but when i press play i'm running through them with no collision. is that just in the testing environment or do i need to change a setting?

[jade current]

Stop placing assets and start placing prefabs.

[storm gull]

How do I get my Supply Depots to show up on the map?

[storm gull]

Found it, now I just need to figure out changing the supply regen rate 😭

[spiral osprey]

Anyone having issues pushing updates on workshop? I tried VPNs in France, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Portugal, etc. Nothing is working. It's a 686MB upload and fails around 80-90% regardless if I am using a VPN or not. The VPN was the only workaround before, but today it isn't working.

[uneven marsh]

Hey I’m new to Moding can someone teach me the necessary steps to make a functional gun?

[storm gull]

Yea. It's been having issues with corrupted files and getting hung as well as server bases going down.

Pure speculation on my part but I think they suddenly dropped the refrogger dlc to drum up money for server stuff

[warped fern]

Does anyone know how to visible the weapons holster on the character after entering the vehicle?

[spiral osprey]

There should be a setting in the baseclothloadout component or something within the .et that literally says "visible in vehicle"

[spiral osprey]

if you are doing it in conflict it is in your managers through the world editor in your scenario

[warped fern]

There is no BaseLoadoutclothComponent option for weapons, i can only use this option in item prefabs and turn on visible in vehicle.

[warped fern]

I checked all the component options in weapon and characters many times, buti didn't find any "VIV"

[spiral osprey]

Holsters usually don't register as weapons

I am looking, at a holster, and there is a BaseLoadoutClothComponent on this particular holster. Visible in Vehicle is an option.

If there isn't a component for it, add one.

[warped fern]

You mean the holsters in the item folder? I saw the preview pictures were pistol holsters and i didn't modify them.

[warped fern]

The BaseLoadoutClothComponent option is only effective in the Item (.et), so create a copy of the holster and change the model inside to the gun you want to display?

[spiral osprey]

It it a vanilla holster?

[warped fern]

I'm not in front of my computer right now, but i think there should be a holster_base.et file and even a Test folder with other tests .et. You can try changing the base holster.

[warped fern]

BTW the object model does not need to be change, because the weapon does not belong to the cloth class and will crash.

[vapid glade]

So when tf is the back end getting fixed? Im tired of playing VPN roulette and still not able to upload like tf guys.

[empty nexus]

Will be fixed in Arma 4

[slender estuary]

anyone know what channel would be best to ask for vehicle setup help in?

[lucid tapir]

#enfusion_configuration its not vehicle specific and people think its for .config files for factions but none of the channels are better so good luck

[slender estuary]

Cheers thank you

[steel plume]

how would i go about adjusting the 1st/3rd person camera position for a specific character model? just need to move it forward a bit

[indigo venture]

how do i use this??

[sterile shoal]

Just open it in blender scripting part, select your object and press play

[indigo venture]

oh ok also um how do i import my stuff to enfusion???

it didnt work i exported the fbx from blender

to my github to my stuff

[sterile shoal]

You need God's help here, not mine

[indigo venture]

huh why bro your a RHS dev wouldnt you know this??

[sterile shoal]

know how to do it, but it cannot be taught. It can only be learned

start with the wiki

or the mbc videos

[indigo venture]

i alreadly tried to find the stupid preference thing it doenst exist dude

[sterile shoal]

gotta try again

[indigo venture]

where are these settings then

[sterile shoal]

probably an old picture, they are not there anymore, so you dont need them

[indigo venture]

well i got it in the engine now how do i get textures or lods or literally anything else?

oh nvm the lods are already in the game too

[indigo venture]

also ngl the script gave me a error every time so yea now i have to manually seperate a ton of parts again like 5 times

[sterile shoal]

https://tenor.com/view/god-bless-ya-therapy-gecko-coachella-drive-safe-stay-safe-gif-25509859

[indigo venture]

this look bad??? its only the second LOD so LOD 02

it was done with advanced LOD tools

nvm its only LOD 1

so yea idk why the textures are so broken

[deep quarry]

any idea why when importing a FBX model into workbench it's stuck at 58% ?

[empty nexus]

normal if it has like 500000000 triangles

[indigo venture]

yo bacon do your LODs do that ever??

[empty nexus]

No my LODs are not dogwater (most of them)

[indigo venture]

ah what do you use to make yours because the asset i got is only 7k faces without LODs so yea then i have to manually sharpen everything

also i hate having to set up the bones again and stuff its a pain unless im doing it wrong i probably am tbh

oh and how do i add the textures in enfusion also idk if i should delete the whole thing if i get something wrong in blender or just reimport idk

[sinful oxide]

Second LOD would be LOD1

[indigo venture]

yea thats what i meant i think how do i make the LOD and bone process faster tho?

[gaunt sinew]

where does one change the percentage of players in a squad to be able to make a new squad of the same type in experimental?

[gritty warren]

Does anyone know of an existing mod that is just stationary undriveable vehicles to use as props? Trying to add a bunch of vehicles to my map but its causing too much lag.

[amber ore]

Hit "shade flat" on your LODs if you are getting funky/ugly normals through the decimate method

[timber jasper]

how do I update tools?

[indigo venture]

tbh enfusion sucks ass dude wont let me import properly my LODs are completely broken and idk how tf to even put the textures on it

[obtuse thicket]

Do we have a way to make large rivers?

beyond this number

[mellow torrent]

Looking For Help - Hit a bit of a snag with an AI character mod - in game the models appears with different textures, #1 pilot vest is MC instead of tan, and in #2 the clothes are Plaid and M81 intead of black and green) is there any way to stop this from happening?

[mellow torrent]

Solved - apparently just needed a restart lol

[candid grove]

Does anyone have complete knowledge of mission-making in reformer and a good idea of what it will be like in arma 4?

[earnest sundial]

The main assumption people have is that there will be a 3d editor more in line (or perhaps evolved further) with the arma 3 editor, but nothing has been confirmed at this stage

[candid grove]

I’m looking for an “expert” on this to give me a quick crash course
I've taken a hiatus from mission making and I want to be prepared to start for arma 4 as soon as it comes out

[oak copper]

Hello! I'm interested in modding and have some questions.
What if I want to protect my work? Is there a way to obfuscate my mod? I understand there are licenses, but that still doesn't guarantee someone will steal your work.
Is it even possible? Steal someone else's scripts?

[bright sable]

You should not obfuscate your mods. I'm not sure if it is banned yet, but devs have previously suggested it would be prohibited in the near future (#enfusion_scripting message #other_ip_topics message).
Copying other peoples scripts is possible from a technical perspective, but to be honest, I would not be too afraid of that. If someone reuploads your work, you can just report it to BI.
Most modders also have no issue with their code being read as long it's not blatantly stolen + reuploaded without credit or permission. My Map Drawing mod even includes some script documentation which makes it easier to understand for other modders.

[oak copper]

I understand, thank you very much for your response!

[tiny scarab]

that would probably be wasted time, there is no mission editor. in workbench you can do missions but its so cumbersome few have the will to do it. in a4 there will likely be something more accessible, which would make your learnings obsolete (you would still have aquired some workbench skills and gray hairs, so if you feel enthusiastic - go for it)

there is no concept of slots, no accessible loadout system to use, gamemaster is severely lacking features (cant even see/set markers or units on map).

[formal sierra]

Just wanted to show you A work in progress Air Drop mod I have been working on. you can set up Air drop locations ( as many as you wish ) and define what loot is in what type of air drop e.g high tier mil / building supplies /medical . it picks random location and picks random loot each Airdrop. thanks to parachute mod and Ac130mod for the prefabs

[lofty wigeon]

How to stop water from clipping inside the vehicle when the vehicle is in anfibious mode?

[formal sierra]

have you tried the Water Exclusion Volume you can add a volume component that tells the engine to exclude water rendering inside it.

or Sometimes the “clipping” is made worse because the vehicle sits too low in the water.

Increasing buoyancy coefficient in your physics or simulation component is another work around if you can try that

[lofty wigeon]

No. Never heard about that. I am using the same configurations of buoyancy of LAV25.

[formal sierra]

I have no messed around with this kind of stuff myself but thats where i would start

[vapid glade]

Fix the god damn workshop back end.

[lofty wigeon]

I think my byoyancy configs are ok. The vehicle height of buoyancy is just fine, but it suffers from water clipping. I will check about this volume component, thanks.

[vapid glade]

Like this is getting stupid af, I have been trying to push updates for a week now with errors every damn time. No matter what region I VPN into

[empty nexus]

It'll be fixed in arma 4 dw

[vapid glade]

I doubt it at this point

[noble river]

I can't enter gm mode or admin mode on my server on this new scenario. What's the manager again for that? Editor something?

[deep quarry]

you need the scripted chat entity

[noble river]

Thank you!

[faint goblet]

Is there a good place here to ask about specifics in terms of APL-ND asset modification?
If i want to use an asset like a rifle from an APL-ND licensed mod on my server, but I want to disable the default scope the mod-maker put on it, am i good to create a local variation and modify the prefab or does that qualify as "remix, transform or build upon" as specified by the license? Also the restriction is on re-distributing, if i'm still including the original mod as a dependency, where is that line drawn?

[glad scarab]

Guys i need some help, ive added 2 new vehicle mods to my server and wanted to make them lockable, im on wcs based server, so i added the wcs-lockable component in the prefab, but still cannot lock or unlock it, any idea why?

[deep quarry]

#other_ip_topics message

[faint goblet]

thanks!

[novel zenith]

Hey all! I've added a task to the command bar, but when I click it I get "Unable to place as max budget has been reached!". ANyone might be able to shed some light?

[deep quarry]

what game mode and what are you trying to place?

[novel zenith]

My apologies! Wrong channel. Was meant for the scripting. It's a custom command task that I'm trying to make for game master mode

Guys i need some help, ive added 2 new vehicle mods to my server and wanted to make them lockable, im on wcs based server, so i added the wcs-lockable component in the prefab, but still cannot lock or unlock it, any idea why?

[grave shoal]

Hello everyone i encounter a weird bug after updating server:

• player have a weapon in hand but other player don't see them in it
• bullet wont do damage at all
• people who have this bug cant drop/switch/sling the weapon they have in their hand
• player who have the bug can shoot but other player wont hear the shot or see the animation of shooting

kinda like an unsync things

error occuerd after i change the prefab load in loadout manager of wcs arsenal ( but i have no idea if it link)

i dont have any client or server log that help me on that case

the error occuer randomly after a player respawn on a point

[lucid tapir]

Lemme know if you figure it out. Im not sure anyone really understands it.

I had alot of help on my last mod, but realised i missed a few things. I am now trying to make a car mod but not sure how to make prefabs able to be spawned in in the actual game. What do I need to make it spawneble in lets say game master? I tried with the scr_placaebleEntitiesRegistry

[lucid tapir]

Maybe .config files for teams/arsenals/factions/depots, idk what im talking about exactly and I definitely dont know the proper terms

[left mountain]

Will try to look at that

[gaunt sinew]

Is there a way to delete the predefined squads in the experimental version? I don't want there to be any squads when players join I want them to have to create thier own.

[jade current]

That's explained in its own wiki article iirc

[left mountain]

Ah shit, tried google it and youtube but didnt find anything. Will try to look in wiki thanks

[heavy quarry]

Can i make a map in experimental and port it to stable when it comes out ?

[full agate]

Yes

[clever mauve]

Looking for ways to make a height map can’t find any current ways any ideas / tips?

In my case I just wanted to reset some of the prefab choices for weapon attachments to nothing so people would have to get their own scopes, the override of the prefab in my mod just holds a reference to the original mod and a very short config describing those changes. This is one of the example BI used in their article on the subject, they recommend evaluating it on a case-by-case basis, but state you technically might not need permission.
I ended up just asking the modmaker for permission here and he told me to go ahead with that solution.

[lucid tapir]

[faint goblet]

IP and license stuff is just a bit of a pain.
A regular issue in my dayjob too

[lucid tapir]

It wouldn't bother me as much if Bohemia just didn't give the most confusing explanation for it. modify it, rework it, and update it all you want, but don't you dare remix, transform or build upon that same mod.

[lucid tapir]

what making?

[warped fern]

I think the GRS pistol holster can be automatically visible in the position after the character get in the vehicle. Now only an invisible left and right shoulder back holster is needed.

[lucid tapir]

@echo dove don't you like visible pistol holsters?

[echo dove]

Yes I like them because where else am I supposed to put my pistol

[lucid tapir]

same place you keep your log book of your pistol kills

Guys how easy is it to create a custom ai squad for GM?
And how easy is it to edit armour and ballistics for vehciles and their guns?

[lucid tapir]

like make a faction with already existing armour and guns?

[solar dock]

Like say I have a bunch of mods downloaded, I would then make a us army weapons and then a rifle squad, me having all the guns and equipment downloaded already

[deep quarry]

just create a new mod with all those dependencies and override the US Characters / Group to edit them

[lucid tapir]

I haven't looked at that kind of thing myself but it could be as simple as finding the .config file for squads, duplicating one and then editing the stuff they spawn with by maybe drag and dropping prefabs, or copy pasting .et stuff into it

[deep quarry]

Or duplicate them instead if you wanna keep the vanilla intact

[solar dock]

So what does the code look like for the infantry squads

I’d just like to see what I’m looking at

[deep quarry]

there's no code involved in this unless I am misunderstanding you. You just need to edit the prefabs in the loadout properties etc

[solar dock]

Oh good

[solar dock]

When I want to give them different gear do I have to change the gear’s location on the guy or does it go where it’s supposed ti

Say I wanna give him an RHS ACH

[lucid tapir]

I gave him an MG3

idk about the clothing yet

[solar dock]

And editing his ammo and medical stuff?

[solar dock]

Ye ye seems decently easy to learn

[solar dock]

Also how do you modify the guns?

[lucid tapir]

modify in what way? like give him a different gun or make a gun OP af for him?

[solar dock]

Like an optic

[lucid tapir]

I think you would have to duplicate the MG3 prefab and have a seperate one with an optic equipped then give him that one

[solar dock]

Mkay, how do ya make the prefab gun?

And sure how do you edit a guns velocity and such to make it different (what you said about OP)

[lucid tapir]

found all the clothing stuff I think

[lucid tapir]

we call this moosing it up a bit

[solar dock]

Doesn’t look to hard

[lucid tapir]

this is the easy part of making weapons. easy to do right and easy to make a lot convenient typos.

[solar dock]

Now how would I slap an optic on that there mg 3

[lucid tapir]

attachment component then you can search for it, or just drag and drop the picture into the thingy

[solar dock]

Seems easy enough.

What does the stuff of a squad look like?

Also what does a soldiers kit look like. Like ammo and medical gear

[lucid tapir]

this is the individual soldiers kit with clothing and then what items are in each vest or whatever.

[solar dock]

Ohh

Is there a list of items so you don’t have to go by memory?

[lucid tapir]

this is squad prefab I guess. you would need to edit each individual solder and save them to your squad or duplicate your one guy and edit him, idk the fastest or smartest way with that.

[solar dock]

Like all the magazines listed out (I assume that being where your edit them)

[lucid tapir]

uhhhh think you gotta go by memory

[solar dock]

Is there not a way to edit magazines?

Because you’d have to find them somewhere and they’d probably be all there

[lucid tapir]

one server I was playing kept getting the default loadouts messed up, someone forgot the radio, the shovel, only gave us 1 mag and no flashlight

[lucid tapir]

oh yeah
