[hollow rampart]

Mind you such a feature would render basically all bought assets useless by their licensing too

as nearly all bought assets licensing requires that you dont share the asset openly. it can only be packaged into a project/product

[stiff bluff]

Where I come from a lot of community work comes from kitbashing. People still model from scratch, but nowadays try to find a person willing to model up to vanilla game's standard. I'm sure you like your RHS team monopoly, but this simply isnt modder friendly approach at all.

I'm not talking about wrinkles, there is no need to erect my argument into absolute to prove a point. I was looking for more BDU variations for example such as adding kneepads and elbowpads individually, but since no BDU variation exists I had to resculpt everything and make generic version wired to boots which is far from ideal. Same goes for untucked BDU pants, adding flags and so on

[glossy nymph]

Is there a way to export stills or image sequence/video in 8k?

[hollow rampart]

It does not matter what the intention is the example is just simplified.

[hollow rampart]

from where?

and I guess why?

[stiff bluff]

I mean you just completely ignored the topic and discussion and started talking about 100 wrinkle coat variants. Like, where is this coming from?

[hollow rampart]

There is really no discussion about it. It wont happen

the later points I wrote are the more prominent ones

[stiff bluff]

People asked for exporting assets plenty of times over the years, not the first time I see this, you would think Bohemia would be more supportive of the initiative given the seemingly positive stance towards modding the game, yet its always somehow conditional. Let alone the fact that its BI's game we are modding and they still remain rights to it, that wouldnt be different from any other company allowing modders to use assets from all their games as long as they arent used elsewhere

[hollow rampart]

Yes yes we very evil for not allowing it. Sorry.

[unborn inlet]

1. so just because wherever you came from is doing kitbashing, so should happen with BI's assets?
2. if RHS would be a monopoly, we would be the only mod on the workshop, but it isn't the case.

[stiff bluff]

I made my point clear above

[glossy nymph]

I meant how to export in 8k from Workshop, World editor. From the videos I watched so far, 4k seems to be the limit. I have a monitor with 7680x2160 resolution and wallpapers from most games rarely ever go beyond 4k, so I just decided to make some wallpapers of my own.

[unborn inlet]

No you didn't.
You fail to take into consideration licenses for instance (not just for the assets but also for the texture packs).
Bohemia has made all their assets from earlier games available up to A3, A3 data packs are also in the works.

[stiff bluff]

#enfusion_generic message
If this isnt good enough, I struggle to see what is

[white tiger]

I dont understand what game allows you to export its own content freely? Out of curiosity

ie. Allow everyones work to be ripped

[stiff bluff]

It was done for Red Orchestra/Rising Storm, Insurgency, Valve titles etc

[unborn inlet]

first off, you own the mods you make, not BI.
Second, you are free to modify in the workshop each single piece you want to modify. You just cannot directly edit the existing 3d models and textures. You can create new textures and materials and change the original ones.

[stiff bluff]

There was just one license and thats all content from their games can be used in their games only, thats it. No wild bureaucracy ruleset like with BI

[white tiger]

Sure i think there is an argument about how strict they are on things being reused from their own titles, knowingly they have released some free use assets from ARMA 2.

But to freely export from the editor sounds a bit to much considering modders own their work and maybe some of the models BI is using may have some licensing considerations

[stiff bluff]

I mean I could understand that if it was limtied to in-house assets only, but like even soviet uniform with alice webbing were outsourced to Ophion Studios and thats available in the github for anyone, dont even need to own the game to download that

[hollow rampart]

We are not those developers though. I dont quite understand why the simple no can not be accepted in this case.

[stiff bluff]

"People asked for exporting assets plenty of times over the years, not the first time I see this, you would think Bohemia would be more supportive of the initiative"

[hollow rampart]

it feels like there is some disconnection here.

showing that up my face does not change the answer

but also it is rather rude to paint us as some sort of bad guy for saying no to it

[sharp geode]

Ok so, Bohemia doesn’t allow asset exporting because you didn’t make them in house then or what? You have stipulated licenses that are preventing even you from allowing the playerbase to modify the files. Is that correct?

cuz that’s what it sounds like

[stiff bluff]

I mean yeah you are not those developers, but you as a company are seemingly supporting modding all things considered, I just dont see why the answer has to specifically stay as a hard no

[hollow rampart]

only seemingly supportive you say?

I guess you are free to move to mod the more supportive games then.

[unborn inlet]

1. having the option of exporting assets from workbench means one could access any and all assets, including mods. - providing datapacks is another thing
2. some assets are outsourced and some texture are from datasets (quixel for instance). These cannot be shared further

[sharp geode]

Ok that’s what I thought

[stiff bluff]

I say seemingly because its not as much freedoms provided to modders. And brushing off a discussion suggesting to move to mod other games is extremely rude for you as a company representative. #rules

[unborn inlet]

oh yeah, Bohemia modding environments is under the mentioned studios/games.... /s

[glossy nymph]

Want to make some pics. But these red highlights stay even for the image render. How can I hide them?

[modern oak]

I was told the G key but I'm sure there are other methods too

[glossy nymph]

Thank you, that did it. Under shortcut in option, it's called "Show visualizers". So, what does it visualize? I though maybe dynamic props, but in that case, it should highlight many more imo. Not important for me right now, but I'd like to know more, if anyone is willing to explain!

[glossy nymph]

I added a pose for this soldier (named US_S1). But for reasons I don't understand yet, all characters that come with weapons have them misaligned. How can I correct this? I tried to add extra bone animation, but that conflicts with said pose.

Do I just have to disable the weapon and add an extra one as a separate object?

[exotic stirrup]

For these poses yes, you will have to if it's a still image

[glossy nymph]

I forgot about using underscores. That was my problem and bone wasn't reacting. Changing the name of the soldier entity from "US_S1" to "USS1" fixed it and weapon can be manipulated now.

[slender kestrel]

I gotta say the responses from some of the moderators here are peak 'discord moderator' energy tonight. There may be some people losing their minds but lawdy, if I acted this way representing my employer (seems like a few of you are employed by BI) I would be up for serious misconduct.

Rather than baiting people just leave it alone and move on, if they keep carrying on time them out. But between my communities issues over someone else's ToS breach (not even our own when you break it down) and the shit I see here tonight, it is disappointing for a game I have put a lot of effort into to make sure there is a place for Vanilla Plus gameplay in the Oceanic region.

Ask, Tell, Make is something that could be employed here.

Education for accidental regulatory breaches before prosecution is another thing.

But treating your community like shit when you have an unstable game with a mountain of issues... nah that is the way to go.

Like this seems like a bait fest for the fun of it that went on tbh.

[glossy nymph]

Wow, it seems Editor even corrupts file saves.

Edit.: Wait, it didn't load in RHS addon. That might be the problem.

[slender kestrel]

That is tools for ya, love to hate it sometimes ahaha

[glossy nymph]

Ok, not sure why RHS wasn't loaded in, but it works now. Only the guy on the left has animation pose so far. So besides the unexpected crash earlier, it seems to be working fine.

[urban barn]

Hey guys, hope you're doing well. I have a big problem... when trying to load saved loadouts in the Bacon Loadout Editor, I get this message: 'Arsenal loadout template is invalid-misconfigured loadout manager?'. I'm creating a game mode scenario framework and I haven't been able to load the loadouts in Bacon. Does anyone know how to fix it?

[hollow rampart]

It does not look like you actually read what was said in that line of discussion. But also if you have feedback on how moderation is done here you can use #discord_server or make a #discord_tickets

[glossy nymph]

Can anyone explain to me how to create dynamic shadows for entities such as vehicles? Just for screenshots or animations.

[lucid echo]

it might be outdated in some things but search Arma Reforger: Cinematic & VFX Tutorial, its short and pretty informative

[glossy nymph]

I'm looking at it right now, but in that video, shadows from BTR work out of the box. I keep checking and unchecking "Cast shadow" and other, similar attributes, but that doesn't do anything with shadows. No change.

Ah, looks like it's just RHS vehicles that don't work with dynamic shadows. I wonder if that can be fixed.

[glossy nymph]

I've seen this debug menu several times, but never heard nor found it under shortcuts (at least not for World editor). Anyone?

Edit.: Ctrl+Alt+Win

Arrows for navigation, right arrow for enter, backspace for exit from submenu

[viscid roost]

Ctrl+Win or Alt+Win depending on how you’re interacting with the menu as sometimes windows short cuts will try to resize and snap windows unless you disable windows hot keys

[prime cradle]

@vapid glade may I have permission to reskin the Afrika Korps uniforms? I just wanted some green and grey variants for personal use

[viscid roost]

Is anyone able to get me in contact with RiverX - I see one in this discord but has never been active in here or has any tags.

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/62C6DD26097FC89B-RiverXOH-58DKiowaWarrior

[drowsy bloom]

Total noob here, how did you setup poses and animations? Is it all just in the world editor, or is there a specific tool / thing I need to be doing

[glossy nymph]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ir2N-RKNcQw

[drowsy bloom]

Ah, wonderful. Thank you

an hour long jesus christ 😭

[exotic stirrup]

Well, what can I tell ya 😄

[drowsy bloom]

I did not expect to see you so soon lol

I'll make something cool (or attempt to) promise 🫡

[drowsy bloom]

Do you just have an absolutely giant monitor, or did you somehow shrink the UI of workbench?

[viscid roost]

All the tabs in the work bench are resizable or can be completely removed from the workspace if desired.

I’ve recently started getting into more of the cine plugin in workbench and it is honestly a bit of a pain but the results can be quite good if you’re willing to dedicate the time to the project and learn how to use it.

This is something I just completed for our community.

https://youtu.be/0MeVAqcTojc

[drowsy bloom]

It's not just the "size" of things, it's the scaling. Everything seems a lot more compact in OV's version of tools compared to mine

Like the padding on the top bar. It's narrower in OV's workbench

[viscid roost]

Maybe I’m tripping but looks pretty much same to me, mine on the left OVs on the right

[drowsy bloom]

OV's is narrower, I swear! Look at the top bar, with File, Edit, View, etc. The padding between the top of the window, and the bottom of the window is narrower on OV's side

hey, sick, it worked

[drowsy bloom]

I wonder how hard it would be to make a terrain that's similar to like, the moon, or something

It would need to have no atmosphere, just have stars...

I wonder if you can add custom skyboxes?

[exotic stirrup]

My screen is 1440p, maybe yours is 1080p? Or scaled?

[drowsy bloom]

Ah, yeah

I have a 1080p monitor... I want a 1440p monitor though

[drowsy bloom]

well this is new. and annoying.

[drowsy bloom]

I really do not want to delve into custom weapon anims....

[glossy nymph]

While in editor, I'm trying to find an option in debug menu on how to make shadows render to larger distance. Is there such possibility? The orange line roughly highlights where shadow render ends.

[glossy nymph]

How would one go about creating a really, really huge light? Fireball? Nuke even? I tried to crank up all the settings for LightEntity, but this was the result.

[tropic sedge]

Does anyone know in what component the settings for the MCU is, that controls the distance of which allows you to place it this and this close to a base?

[glossy nymph]

What do I have to do if I want to create an animation/trailer within Enfusion editor? There's only a shortcut for screenshots, but wasn't able to find any record about rendering image sequence or video anywhere on Youtube or BI's wiki.

i think this is it but something isnt allowing me to do anything when i open up enfusion

[wispy yacht]

what mods do you have loaded ?

[timid osprey]

quite a few lol. trying to create a custom arsenal

[wispy yacht]

try removing the latest mod you've added

and are all of your mods up to date ?

[timid osprey]

how would i update them in the workshop?

[wispy yacht]

go in your game and update them from there

[timid osprey]

oh then yes but some of these mod folders ive had in my workbench for months and im noticing now that they're older versions

[wispy yacht]

Yeah I've got the same issue, I've been away for 4months so all of my mods were pretty much outdated. Removed the ones that I don't really need and looked for replacements

And check if you don't have duplicated (shouldn't be but maybe)

[timid osprey]

fuck lol looks like ill have to do some more tedious tasks before i can get this show started then. all good. and no i dont have any dupes

[wispy yacht]

Yup, good luck

[timid osprey]

thanks man

[little dawn]

So in workbench the player doesn’t get a faction selection or a spawn location UI even after dying and respawning? Not really sure what I am missing here.

Also had a question about the conflict modes build and supply system. Is that something I can port into another game mode or is that something that has to be remade from scratch for a different mode

[dense spoke]

Hey everyone,
Is anyone here making maps or have some good ones for a Life/RP server?
I’ve been looking for a while but haven’t found one that fits perfectly. If you know of any solid Life/RP maps, feel free to drop a link or DM me.
Also, if you’re good at map making and interested in creating a custom one for a Life server, hit me up. I’m currently building a custom Life framework and really need a strong map for it. I used to make maps myself in Arma 3, but I don’t have time for mapping anymore since I’m focusing on the scripting side.
Thanks in advance!

[uneven glacier]

What exactly is a RP map?

[autumn walrus]

“Role playing” 😐

[uneven glacier]

I got that but what makes a map role playable

[autumn walrus]

Fair question just the mod is setup to have currency and roles like cops and shit. Jobs to make money etc

I’d say having a city in the center would help and little villages stuff to designate locations for specific tasks

[jade current]

If it is made right there should be numerous interactable things that help the player advance in their "role".

[jade current]

Use a vanilla map, if you're building a life famework the map is the least of your concerns at the moment. You should be designing your systems to be dynamic and scalable so they can be use on any map regardless.

[vernal pollen]

+1 with Zelik. Just test your logic on Arland with different game modes

[lament sleet]

Where can I ask some questions about RHS?
Because I cant post in their enf_showcase post and enf_mod_feedback is not for questions about mods(thats what PuFu pinned message says)

[maiden salmon]

Hi everyone! I have an idea for a custom mod project for Arma Reforger (specifically, an EOD Anti-IED robot) and I am looking for an experienced modder to help bring it to life.

[hollow rampart]

and next thing is to check out the #rules and specifically the part about crossposting

[digital wing]

is there a way to edit base game meshes? i assumed you could just duplicate/inherit the .xob objects but doesn't look like that's possible

[nova delta]

No. And publishing somehow edited .XOBs will cause a mod ban

[neon ether]

so i got a new pc how do i get access to my mod again ?

[hollow rampart]

you would copy the files from your backup

[neon ether]

Thank you

[dense spoke]

Hey Zelik, thanks for the reply and the feedback.

You’re right that the systems should be dynamic and work on any map, and I’m definitely aiming for that. It would just be really nice to have a solid map from the start, both for development and to help generate ideas around player functionality and gameplay flow.

In Arma 3 we relied a lot on factions (Blufor/Opfor/Independent) to handle roles like Police, Medic, Civilian etc. From what I’ve seen so far in Reforger it feels like we have more freedom with that. Would you say factions are still necessary or useful in your experience, or is it better to handle everything differently in Reforger?

Thanks again!

[dense spoke]

An RP map for a Life server is basically a map built for roleplay rather than war. Dunno how to descbibe it other than: a detailed city with lots of buildings/interiors, varied landscape good for high-speed driving, different terrain like mountains, water and swamps. So overall a living environment that supports civilian life, police, emergency services, crime, etc. Not just another war map.

[jade current]

I always thought it was dumb to hide functionality behind a faction.

Completely breaks immersion, lock functionality behind items instead. Anyone that has handcuffs should be able to handcuff people, not just guys that are in the "police" faction for example.

[dense spoke]

Fair point. I agree that locking everything behind factions can hurt immersion. I’m leaning towards making most actions item-based (handcuffs, medkit, etc.) so anyone can use them if they have the item

I’ll probably still use factions lightly for initial role assignment and some backend checks, but the actual functionality will be more open

[knotty kayak]

guys good day, is there a mod that spawns driving enemy FIA vehicles for PvE?

[sour storm]

Hey Arma team! I run a fairly popular dedicated server, but we've been getting hit with sudden application crashes that leave no warnings or helpful logs. I've spent the better part of a month deep-diving into my own code, adding defense checks, analyzing logs, and placing print statements at every possible break point but I'm officially stumped on what the cause is.

Since it's a hard application crash, if I wanted to provide my crash dumps for a dev to take a quick peek at, where would be the best place or channel to submit those?

Any guidance would be hugely appreciated! ❤️

[twilit barn]

Go to your console.log file and if it was a server crash, at the end of the file you will see a GUID for the crash reporter. You can post that GUID here and one of the devs might look into it for you. That's about your only option unfortunately.

[knotty kayak]

Anyone have a clue about CE Errors of PS5? My guys are disconnecting like every 15 Minutes because of that.

[crystal echo]

Anyone really knowledgeable on with setting up modded conflict missions? I Could use some help with setting up/changing default groups and various other aspects. 😆 my brain is cooked. Anyway please DM if able to help out. Got some other questions and such and
Might be over thinking some stuff. Thanks!

[hollow escarp]

hey how would i mod glasses into thge game? I've weighted it and assigned the xob to the in game goggles but i can't equip them, i think i need a dependency to put it in the eyewear slot?

[twin stirrup]

How did you fix this?

[lucid echo]

Sorry for the late ping but you're probably missing a parameter in your glasses entity.
Duplicate a helmet to your project and duplicate a core helmet ( found in the core folder) go to world editor and spawn both the vanilla entity and your modded glasses core prefab into the world edit and copy everything from the helmet. Once you have all of the correct parameters from the helmet you can adjust how much it weights etc.

This is especially helpful for weapon creation but you can also just replace the vanilla mesh with your glasses and see if it lines up correctly with your bone(s) that you have and when everything is lined up correct and looks okay on the helmet prefab you can copy everything over to a Core helmet

An update is pending server restart that disables some systems in an attempt to find the cause.

if you need more context please let me know.

[lusty leaf]

Just a quick question as someone completely new to modding and wanting to start with enfusion what are some beginner resources I should get started with?

[lucid echo]

Depends what you're trying to create but a great place to start is the modding boot camps

• Search "Arma Reforger modding boot camp"
  There's also a wiki (Biki)
  Just search "arma reforger wiki followed by whatever youre working on ex. Arma refoger weapon creation wiki

[sour storm]

Thankyou for looking into this for me! much appreciated ❤️

[glossy nymph]

I'm trying to rotate turret's gun upwards, but the bone in LAV's prefab doesn't correspond with Bone animation track.

When I open LAV prefab, turret bones are not listed.
When I open LAV turret prefab, bones are listed, but I'm not longer looking at LAV prefab as whole which I originally wanted to edit inside the scene.

Do I just have to delete turret from LAV and put an imposter turret instead? So I can edit it's gun upwards with Bone animation track?

[glossy nymph]

Let's say I want to select an object from Kolguyev and move it into editable subscene. Do I really have to keep scrolling selected object for 5 minutes or can I somewhere just change parental scene instead?

[sour storm]

if you do this, the object you moved over from the Kolguyev layer will return as soon as you reload the map, causing duplicate prefabs in the exact same position. Personally i just search the map for any prefabs i need and then i click locate prefab to find it in the resource browser.

[glossy nymph]

Why it creates duplicates? How can you then create edited Kolguyev for example? Let's say I want to place some original props out of the way? Or delete them? Permanently?

[sour storm]

Because you did not create Kolguyev. Your world is a subscene of Kolguyev, the layers which contain the information of every object and its position in the wrold are readme only. so when you move an object over your just creating a copy from the original layer. When the map is reloaded all objects get loaded back in. What you asking to do is not impossible, but im honestly not sure what bohemia's policy is on editing their worlds.

[glossy nymph]

Ok, thanks. Last time I moved all entities from main scene to my subscene (so I could edit when on a fly), I was surprised by everything was duplicated next time I opened it. I though it was a glitch. If BI doesn't want us to modify their maps, this happening would make more sense to me.

[twin stirrup]

Anyone know how I can change the radio spawns to use spawn tickets and use the correct amount that I configure to, I've tried looking through all the respawn components and can't seem to find my way to configure it correctly.

[cedar skiff]

so its been a very long time since i used the enfusion engine. has there been improvments within the last year that make it easier for map building ?

[formal tartan]

Your using the wrong bone, easiest way I've found was to load the prefab in world editor, Press E to enable rotation, then grab some bones and try and rotate. (I had this issue yesterday).

[glossy nymph]

The problem is that LAV prefab doesn't show any bones inside the turret.

[formal tartan]

Hmmm, I know for the BTR the bone is at the base of the turret, near the wheels.

[formal tartan]

I figured it out, you haven't defined a "Slot Name"

You can find the slot name by selecting the prefab, search for "SlotManagerComponent" and then under the "Slots" subheader, it'll be in there.

[glossy nymph]

Thank you, I didn't think of this!

[lucid echo]

Hey guys! Does anyone know what the difference between the 9x19_AP_7N21 and the 7N31? Was going to add a AP variant to some of my pistol mods today but unsure which one to use and I don't want to make them super OP choosing the wrong one. Thanks for your time everyone!

I assume the 7N31 has more pen since it has more table data entries but want to be sure on what exactly I'm looking at

Hello how can I set the points to cap in a certain Path and maintain the radio connection

[dense spoke]

Hey

I am currently trying to bind "I" for inventory, it's an virtual inventory, so not Reforgers inventory. I have been at it for two hours now, and i still can't figure out if Reforger is letting me make custom bindings for UI? Anyone have any experience here. Would appreciate it!

[glossy nymph]

I might be blind, but I can't seem to find any pose or animation for simply shooting a rifle or machine gun. It's all crouching poses or animations, melee etc.

Can anyone help me out to know where to look?

Would it be maybe easier to assign some action to a character, like "go there and start shooting" and then just pause it for a picture?

[glossy nymph]

Yesterday, I made screenshots fine and now all I'm getting is this error. Even on basic terrain, with no extra assets in the subscene. Restart didn't help. Everything works well, editor, the game even other games. Anyone?

Edit.: And now, after 5th restart, just after I decided to make screenshot with PrintScreen instead, "for the fun of it", I tried one last time. And it works again...

Edit. #2: And now it's broken again!

[formal tartan]

Are you pressing Ctl Shift F7?

[glossy nymph]

Yes. But just today, it crashes in 90% of times I use that shortcut.

Have you tried running as admin?

[glossy nymph]

I didn't. Normally, as usual.

Try running as Admin, if that doesn't work, have you tried turning your PC on and off again, as absurd as that sounds?

Cancel that last part, I just saw you said you restarted? I'm assuming you mean your PC and not just Arma Tools?

I get these for no reason and don't know what the root cause is, it's not consistent to troubleshoot on our end

[hardy sapphire]

sorry for lat eping but would it be possible for a discord call sometime and you could explain it me and a buddy of mine arent understanding

[twin stirrup]

Yeah I finish work in 3 hours so I can join a VC later if that’s fine, you just gotta @ me and remind me.

I’m in Australia so that’ll be about 6PM my time.

[hardy sapphire]

u r a legend thank you

Anybody know user named "Hexora" author of the "Reforger Watch" app?

[formal tartan]

Hey man, did they ever join? I was wondering if you could tell/show me? I used to be able to do it, I was sure you did it via the RelayTransmition Freq, but apparently not?

[twin stirrup]

Nah they didn't join but I can still just show you

[formal tartan]

I would appreciate it very much!

[formal tartan]

Hey, just wanted to check. I'm 99% sure this is a WCS feature right? Its not avalible in vanilla right?

[twin stirrup]

What I showed you is available in both

[formal tartan]

Are you sure, there is no Whitelist component in Vanilla from what I can see?

I just checked the Reforger script API and its not listed or documented in there?

[twin stirrup]

When you select the conflict military base you want to edit this is in SCR_CampaignMilitaryBaseComponent

[twin stirrup]

ah yes sorry im so tired, im used to always having WCScore so that would make sense

just double checked to make sure

[formal tartan]

No worries, all good. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't losing my mind.

[twin stirrup]

yeah nah sorry im gonna get some slepe before i keep editing

[fathom hill]

I Have a general question when I am creating assests, modifying valeus etc. where does it save the full file? what I mean is for ex. where does it say "Is control Point = True" when I check the box? I am trying to do something and I Need the raw data

[gentle dust]

IS there a way to take all of the items i placed into a world and turn them into a prefab

[remote seal]

Yes, just select them all and drag and drop to resource browser in some prefab folder (PS mb also needs to add them as child of some single main entity)

[glossy nymph]

What do you think went wrong here? I was able to replicate your LAV approach just fine. On LAV. But I can't figure out why turret on Humvee doesn't turn. I tried several related bones already, slot seems to be also correct. I'm out of ideas.

[exotic stirrup]

The turret is in a slot of the roof which itself is in a slot of the vehicle. Is it for video or a still?

Also you might need to disable CarProcAnimComponent

[fervent cypress]

Where does experimental download mods to?

[glossy nymph]

So, how am I suppose to link all that together, so I can rotate turret for an image?

Also, seems that video export is locked only to 4k. What if I wanted to render image sequence in my native 6k resolution (7680x2160) instead? Can I manually override it somewhere? It's a bit ironic that snapshot by Ctrl+Shift+F7 will respect my native resolution, but video export won't, lol.

[formal tartan]

Your track is called HM2_turret but the prefab is called HM2

[glossy nymph]

When moving bones around, anything beyond underscore on bone animation track is irrelevant for animation functionality. I name those tracks like "HW2_wheel" etc.

[formal tartan]

ah ok

[formal tartan]

How do you refrence the "Turret" slot? Do you need to first call the "Roof" slot, then the "Turret" Slot? I tried and couldn't get it to work?

[uneven glacier]

are we allowed to prohibit groups from using our mods?

[hollow rampart]

is the question related to the reply?

😅

[uneven glacier]

no I just was scared to @ you 🤣

[hollow rampart]

would be fine

but yes you can write such clause in your mods custom license

[untold umbra]

Anyone know of someone working on a better weather mod? I love atmospheric weather, but there is more to be done.

We need a weather that can be scheduled, so GM’s can plan weather changes. Weather also needs to change slowly from one type of weather to another, and do so in accordance with the prevailing wind direction.

These details matter.

[uneven glacier]

This was the exact response i was expecting lol

[woven sun]

I'm really desperate for some help here, I'm getting stuck with a group=1 'Replication', reason=8 'JIP_ERROR' every time I try to connect to my dedicated server, I've tried reverting my changes, reading the error logs and removing the mods in question but I still cannot get into my own server now. It's very frustrating as I've put over 200 hours of development into the project so far only to be blindsided by this problem.

I fresh reinstalled the server and wiped everything, redownloaded the project and still nothing.

It all began when I tried adding EE_SimpleCharacterSpawner in and tweaking around with it, as soon as I uploaded the changes to my project I've never been able to connect back into my own server even after removing it.

I'm also not getting any Hierarchy component errors that would otherwise cause this. I'm genuinely stumped.

Here's the console error: RPL : rpl::Pip::ProcessNetToGame
RPL (E): IReplication::JIPError: Inconsistent item table on Slave connection. Item is missing or different item was loaded in its place. (con=0x0)
WORLD : UpdateEntities
RPL : rpl::Pip::ProcessNetToGame
RPL (E): IReplication::JIPError: Terminating connection. (identity=0x00000000)

I’ve managed to deduce it down to something on the map causing the issue but I can't seem to find it.

Here's my project:
https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/6954405915B6A0B7-Project_ARMAgeddon

[formal tartan]

I'm curious too see what you would need to do to cause that many critical errors 😭

[lucid tapir]

I honestly forgot what I had opened to create that mess but I just kept watching the number go up and I was pretty confident it was not gonna crash and believe it or not, it crashed

[vernal pollen]

Only if we can have weather causing a waves like in that BF4 map that could flip an inflatable 🛥️

[exotic stirrup]

If it's for an image than you just disable the roof slot from the vehicle and place the roof prefab separate entity in the same location. Then you can do the same with the turret.

[formal tartan]

What about for cinematics? The video you guys made about cinematics doesn't explain it, I dont think it does at least.

[hollow rampart]

I've opened up a license feedback thread here:
https://discord.com/channels/105462288051380224/1508775029897297930

No jokes, no arguing. Aim is to see what we can do to improve the modding experience.

[somber lily]

Hi, I'm trying to place the Basemant prefabs from ARMST Platform Structura on the Eden map but I'm having an issue with the terrain not being modified correctly.

I've overridden the prefab and have the following settings enabled:

• Is Building
• Adjust Height Map
• Underground Structure
• Falloff Start Width: 8.000
• Falloff Width: 20.000

However the terrain is still visible inside the basement and blocks the entrance completely, making it impossible to enter. I've saved the world and applied changes to the prefab but nothing seems to work. The Terrain Tool is also greyed out on Eden.

Is there something I'm missing to make the terrain adjust properly around the basement entrance? Any help would be appreciated!

Or maybe i just can't use it on vanilla Map ?

[glossy nymph]

I'd rather learn how to do it the right way, which works for both stills and cinematics alike.

I also believe it would be a huge help, if there would be another video explaining how we can leverage AI moving freely and interacting with other units or objects inside the editor, so we don't have to micro manage every single character/vehicle animation or bones.

Just to let them to react and then to freeze the timeline.

@dreamy adder mein jung, danke fürs bauen der Panzerfaust 3, aber ich finde die Custom Munition nirgendwo ingame. Ist das noch verbuggt? Also die: Custom PF3 HEAT ammunition

Danke für die Antwort im voraus. 🙂

[dreamy adder]

Hallo KenKo Danke dir, ich habe sie temporär entfernt. Die Nachladeanimation stimmt noch nicht ganz, bzw ist von der RPG7

[knotty kayak]

Also ist aktuell keine Munition verfügbar?

Danke für die schnelle Antwort 🙂

[dreamy adder]

ja doch eigentlich schon. ich habe sie einfach nicht mehr ins Arsenal gepackt damit sie sozusagen Single use ist.
werde aber sicher noch ein zusatzmod machen der die Munition ins arsenal bringt

[knotty kayak]

Danke dir, bisher hat kein Munitionstyp angezeigt, dass die dann einen Schuss mehr hat. ): Aber danke dir aufjedenfall für die gute Arbeit!

Wär cool wenn du die als abhängigkeit einfügen würdest. Leider kann man ja nie sehen wenn ne Mod sowas hinzugefügt bekommt.

[nova delta]

@dreamy adder

[knotty kayak]

Was a chat about panzerfaust 3, sorry.

[nova delta]

No problem. We just state english only so that it is kept like this and it does not evolve into a mess on languages 😅

u absolutly right, sorry my guy 🙂

[real compass]

why is it that radio bags work in workbench but not inside my server and you cant spawn on them

[fervent cypress]

I was having a addon load order error so I deleted all of my mods to re-install them.

I found where these mods are downloading: Why is Arma downloading specific mods from the experimental branch and putting them in the default documents folder?

[misty thorn]

I don't know all the technical wording but from what I understand is that if you don't add -profile ArmaReforgerExp to your steam launch options on experimental branch then all the mods you downloaded are just bunched in with the stable branch mods

[hollow rampart]

default downlaod location for both is the same place in user files I believe

to change that you would need to use startup parameters

[soft panther]

Do we know if the inertia changes to vehicles means any mods that edit vehicle prefabs are gonna break in 1,7? Or am i dooming

[stuck needle]

hey guys iv dont some weapon creation and looking to get into doing some helis, can someone please point me in the direction of some good tuts for this, it will be greatly appreciated.

[fervent cypress]

And I did. But now, specific mods are going to the experiemtnal place after I downloaded experimental.

However, I'm downloading the mods in the regular branch.

[muted kindle]

does anybody know or have a reference if the pasgt vest actually looks like this next to helmets and uniforms in real life

[crystal night]

Yes I do matter of fact do you want me to send it to you?

[muted kindle]

that'd be nice

[muted kindle]

will likely just keep this private since i had to rip the vest's texture to do this - unless bohemia is fine in their policy with extracting assets to just edit them for a mod in the very game they're ripped from, i'm not sure

would appreciate if someone could tell me if posting this to the workshop is a bad idea or not

just for reference this is what it normally looks like in blender

[unborn inlet]

@hollow rampart ^^

[muted kindle]

is this not allowed or something i'd appreciate if someone would tell me cause i don't wanna get banned or anything for this
i read through apl and from what i can see it should be allowed as long as it's in an arma game which it will be; arma reforger

[hollow rampart]

Is not allowed.

[hollow rampart]

So bad idea yes.

[muted kindle]

aight i won't then

[hollow rampart]

Also don't rip stuff from anywhere. It's never allowed.

[crystal night]

The textures are public are they not? I know when you’re in the workbench you can look at textures or something like that. I haven’t used the bench that much

[hollow rampart]

no the files are all packed in and not directly accessbile.

For retexture purposes you can screenshot the texture from workbench as a reference

[crystal night]

Alr then I see

I’m sure there’s way to recreate it just probably not 1 to 1 I have no knowledge about textures and making models

[formal tartan]

This might be of use, I still can't figure out how to animate a bone that is a nested slot.

[glossy nymph]

This is fantastic! I was about to give up on posing the default way, due to how time consuming that is. In Blender or with this addon, this is just a matter of minutes, not hours.

[amber bridge]

Does anyone know if Takistan is still going to be developed in any capacity? God rest LightFuns soul. We love the map and want to continue to use it but there seem to be some core issues with baked in map assets that make it nearly impossible to be a stable map to use 😩

[fervent cypress]

My understanding, from discussions I saw a year ago: as long as the outcome is 100% original to the content creator, BI looks the other way.
But if the outcome contains BI's original work, like an edited texture would: then there's gonna be problems.

Is that still the case or has this changed?

[hollow rampart]

ripping is not ok.

[fervent cypress]

Correct, I'm not talking about ripping (nor am I advocating for it). I'm saying that you can't edit the direct texture but if they were able to make their own retexture that is very accurate, things would be okay (because it doesn't contain BI's proprietary data).

sure its as I said there #enfusion_generic message

With 1.6 the guns worked kinda the day of but it took a week or two before shit was working again

I was looking to get started in modding but im going to start after 1.7

[glossy nymph]

Call me basic, but I don't seem to understand how to use this mod specifically. I succesfully added mods like RHS or addon map, but this just doesn't show, neither I can't find it inside World editor options already.

Can you help me out with this?

[formal tartan]

I would be lying if I said I had installed it, but I'll take a gander and see.

Is it not a workbench plugin, you would install it like that I presume?

[glossy nymph]

I have no idea. I downloaded it via workshop in the actual game and there's no description on how to work with it. Only what it does.

@rotund sentinel, can you enlighten us on how to instal/start using your Bone manipulator, please?

[rotund sentinel]

I really need to add a description for this. If you have downloaded it from the workshop:

• Start the workbench tools.
• In the project seletion screen -> + Add Project Button -> Add existing Project
• Select the ScreenshotToolbox mod from your mods folder.
• Then right click the project you want to use the tool in -> Open with addons
• Select the ScreenshotToolbox -> ok
  Now you should have the bone icon at the top.
  The github has some more infos on hotkeys: https://github.com/Hexomanya/screenshot-toolbox?tab=readme-ov-file

Quick question.. I'm currently in the world editor and for some reason, my first resource browser is utilizing my project folder instead of ArmaReforger. It hasn't done this before so I'm unsure why it's suddenly doing it now. Can't seem to figure out how to revert it

[knotty kayak]

anyone can tell my how can I disable friendly AI spawn at PvE Bases?

[twilit barn]

If this is what you're looking for, just use this mod: https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/613629A17AFFEBFE

You can still build them, but the action to spawn the AI is removed.

[knotty kayak]

Ah nice. Some People are missusing this ai stuff. Thank you my guy

[vapid sparrow]

Hey guys, woke up today to see there was an update for the Arma Reforger Tools. Tried to launch my project, and I kept getting a "Cannot create game!" error, and another bubble in the corner of my screen that says "Cant compile gamelib script module!"

Anyone know what this means? The tools were working fine for me before the update.

[remote bronze]

Start the game once, make sure you do not have mixed experimental with stable workbench and vanilla gproj in your launch screen list

[warm oasis]

Hey, sorry to bother you. I wanted to ask if we'll be developing our own mods for 1.7 soon?

[jade current]

What? Why are you asking me? Who is we? lol I'm so confused.

[warm oasis]

Shit, sorry))
The translator screwed up, as usual)

[jade current]

Don't tell him

[warm oasis]

Will there be an update of your mods for 1.7 soon?Now I see these errors and it's all because of the square bracket, apparently.

[jade current]

The original question was incredibly confusing, What mod? What errors?

[remote seal]

It's possible to run WB in a way that compatible with CLI? For example, to run ScriptEditor module with validate from CLI and see right here errors and warnings?

[jade current]

Fixed. Next update give me time to wake up and have a cup of coffee. I don't know how long you've been around but, people that have been around for awhile know that my mods are generally fixed the day of the update. I don't like to cause server downtime so I always update/fix asap.

[remote seal]

biki tells to use wbModule + run + validate and it should at least return error code, but in reality it immediately detach from terminal

[jade current]

Scroll up like 10 messages

DeleteEditorManager(int playerID) │ Null-derefs. Throws VM exception. - I think this needs a Null-safety check

Guess I need to start building/testing on the dev branch heeheh

@glossy nymph data/Prefabs/Items/Equipment/Flashlights/
├─ Flashlight_base.et
├─ Flashlight_MX991/ (US chest light)
└─ Flashlight_Soviet_01/ (USSR chest light)

Binoculars live under Prefabs/Items/Equipment/Optics/ (or similar Optics branch). Flashlights are in their own
Equipment/Flashlights/ folder — same Equipment/ parent as binos but a different subfolder, which is why he didn't find
them next to the binos. The two chest-mounted ones are MX991 (US/NATO) and Soviet_01 (USSR).

@glossy nymph CommonItemType "FLASHLIGHT"
m_SlotType SLOT_GADGETS_STORAGE

So in the inventory UI, the chest flashlight is a GADGET, not an optic. It goes into the small gadget slots on a chest
rig / vest — the same slot family as compass, watch, map, radio. Binoculars use a different slot type
(binocular/holster slot), which is why it wasn't sitting next to them.

look at the small gadget pockets on the vest, not the optics/holster row.

AI not placeable when in gm mode in tools

Whole GM UI is not functional

[remote bronze]

This means they fail to navigate. It's a VM error window you can ignore to otherwise use WB. The AI units won't move. Maybe you are in MP test that is not setup for AI. Or your custom terrain is missing navmesh etc

[worn plank]

Thank you, will see if a regenerate navmesh does the trick💪

my Ai ambient patrols aren't spawning except the couple A.i that spawn at the tent, any suggestions on how i fix this?? using gramps pve remix 2.0, and is it just a in tools bug with Ai budgeting?

Your SCR_AmbientPatrolSpawnPoint FIA_5 setup itself looks mostly fine, so I’d check these first

[zinc quest]

That’s usually not just an in tools visual bug especially if only the static tent AI are spawning while ambient patrols refuse to populate

Mods need update

[hardy bane]

I need to know, why do we have no actual ATGM love on the workshop? like at all? most TOW or Kornet mods are broken or only in vics

[unborn inlet]

why don't you make some enfusion love towards ATGMs yourself, rather than expect someone else to do that for you?

[hardy bane]

Cuz i cant use blender and do the weighting things. I already tried many times lol. I can script and do enfustion things but not blender

If someone volunteers to help with importing 3d models to make ATGMs a thing dm me

[hollow rampart]

this is basically the reason why.

[hardy bane]

Fair enough😂

[stark moth]

it's a visual bug.

they messed up the budgeting in tools. AGAIN

yeah but I want them appear in the gamemaster asset list

[weary tendon]

check the dev hub page at https://reforger.armaplatform.com/ for templates and guides

My newest project. This mod aims to add more character apeareance options, not limited to but most importantly female body and face types as well as facepaint, tattoos and more! More will come as time permits and the previusly mentioned features has been implemented.

https://imgur.com/a/5zM89nM : My progress so far. I'm currently rigging up the body, face and eliminating any clipping issues with the uniforms and equipment in the game. I'm doing my best to have a representative female body that at the same time works with the current in-game content.

[red crow]

Did you figure this out? This seems to be a little wack with the Double prefabs

[gloomy acorn]

not yet
still haven't grasped yet what a prefab is

[weary tendon]

The thing is that I'm not really used to blender so this really slows down my progress alot.

[stark acorn]

it is reference for a pose

I can perhaps share later some simple animation done in blend file

[vestal isle]

yeah, but why is it above and forwards of actual rig? very confusing to look at

if you could bro yeah that would be great, would be amazing 👍 😄

[fierce flint]

Hello i want to port my weapon to reforger i've make some changes in blender to match with enfusion like this :

https://imgur.com/a/04KWJtf

In enfusion i have multiple problem first this :

GetResourceObject @"{536BF67B2052B869}material/metal.gamemat"```

and next i dont have my memory points and my bones

screen of workbench : https://imgur.com/a/sSWMWnW

[faint heath]

Yeah me neither, and when I've looked trough the base game assets the same data is packaged in several different areas for the exact same thing. Like you have the 3d model for Binocular in Assets-Items-Equipment-Binoculars. But also in Prefab-blabla

[fierce flint]

Prefab = config i think

[red crow]

Prefabs are just entities with components. Those components define what the entity is.

The model component defines the model and such.

Using components you can link prefabs together like the flag pole for example. It's just a prefab with a stick as model components and the flag is a different prefab that gets added justing a slots components.

It's like unity. Basic Entity Components Systems game design.

I just can't get the sample mods to build else I could slowly swap out components till It worked :)

One of the main components is RSC_PlacebleEntity it is the key to getting it to work I think.

[red crow]

The Assets folder holds models. Unlike Arma 3 where Model = Object. In enfusion a model is simple information. The object needs to be defined separately, this is the prefab.
The prefab binds together the model and extra data using components. Those components are then what enfusion uses to create instances of the prefab inside of the gameworld.

[bold nova]

Has anyone managed to get a new model to show up in the in-game crate as an item? I've imported and configured the model under my assets folder, then created the prefab, even added a modified blufor arsenal config with my prefab added, still no joy, can't figure out how to actually select the item (it's a helmet and is configured as such).

[torpid meteor]

Hi, tell me how to create a localization?

[ebon tinsel]

i need help

when i start game its says Failed to initialize Enfusion engine

[pallid knot]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:String_Editor This should have most of what you need

[ebon tinsel]

deadman

can you help me somehow?

[pallid knot]

I don't know how to solve your issue sorry

Maybe go to #reforger_troubleshooting
Maybe send your whole log file (but look through it first, there may be personal info in there), its in my documents/my games/reforger/profiles somewhere there

[warped tartan]

Hey, so anybody tried the clone wars mod yet? I wanna see if it an actual star wars mod or if its a fake.

[finite cloak]

Hey

Is there a parade/march mod?

As making an own parade is quite hard

[clever ermine]

can we rig walking mechs now with Enfusion?

[vestal isle]

are these pre made animations? stances? cycles?

[stark acorn]

premade

[vestal isle]

ok, that sounds great, what sort of time are you available then please? im around until around 2130

[stark acorn]

till 19:00 today

[vestal isle]

ok, cool, you free now then by chance?

[stark acorn]

not exactly

[vestal isle]

so youre available 1) up until 1900, or 2) after 1900?

[stark acorn]

up until 19:00

it all depends what you have in mind 😄

[fossil pawn]

Same problem here. The m4 mod that you can download in game has managed to do this, so there is a way

[vestal isle]

well in regards to animation, just need the animations (for rifle, pistol, launcher) - stances, movement cycle animations
But, some advise/heads up on how the enfusion animation editor works would be great

Also, question; do animations need a specific naming rule?

[vestal isle]

can we talk in DM please sir?

[stark acorn]

I'm afraid it's close to 19:00

[vestal isle]

its 1757 here, thought we had another hour still, but dang

best to try tomorrow sometime or?

[stark acorn]

I guess 😉

[vestal isle]

tomorrow it is, will dm you tomorrow, thanks bro 👍

[stark acorn]

I would prefer to discuss it here though so others can learn too

[olive spoke]

So going by the logs here full documentation for the modding tools hasn't been released yet?

[shadow urchin]

maybe i have asked in wrong section

can anyone tell me if enfusion supports NV?

[final lagoon]

My enfusion for some reason is not able to log me in, any clue on how should i fix this?
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/976190496143708191/976402525097951252/unknown.png?size=4096

[old bloom]

I have the same issue

[final lagoon]

[vestal isle]

ok bro, gotcha 👍

[devout birch]

i need some youtube videos stat on the whole process of this lol

im a half step away from doing paid tutoring on this

[shadow urchin]

it's shouldn't be like this

[signal ember]

It's day 2, its going to take a little time for people to become familiar. hopefully there is more content from bohemia on the way but right now just try to be patient. :)

[fierce flint]

hi here, someone know how to make an handanim ?

[red crow]

I am able to get my prefabs visiable for GM now in side of the workbench. Sadly I seems incable of properly loading my mod in reforger itself?

[gloomy acorn]

it should appear as an installed mod even if you don't publish it

[red crow]

Yeah, I enable it, load into GM. But my asset isn't there

As if it isn't being loaded for GM. Like arma 3 zeus where you have to enable external addons. Mod is loaded, But not for GM

[gloomy acorn]

when you say you've been able to see it in the workbench you mean simply by dragging it into the scene?

I've reached that part too but I think some additional config will be necessary to make it GM compatible

[red crow]

No in the asset browser

I'll show you

[red crow]

https://ibb.co/2qgWgCf

[gloomy acorn]

so you can launch gamemaster from the workbench?
and its placeable in there?

[red crow]

Yes
I launch GM_Eden in the world editor
Basicly GM but with my mod loaded.

[gloomy acorn]

interesting

[red crow]

Thats Why I am suspecting GM in reforger doesn't just "load" your active mods somehow.

[hollow rampart]

this has not been impossible before either

[clever ermine]

but it required to have it as a "human" entity not a vehicle, right? I'm basing my assumptions on how the walking wh40k mechs walk in A3

[hollow rampart]

correct.

[clever ermine]

so in Enfusion they would still have to be human entities?

[hollow rampart]

it has been like 2 days..

give it some time if you dont want to go look on your own

[red crow]

I assume you already know about overriding the EditorModeEdit prefab from the Editor/Mode to add your prefab to the Asset list?
Your prefab also needs SCR_EditableEntityComponent but iirc that should be it, else also run the create/update editable entities plugin once after setting everything up.

[fickle stag]

Is there a way to bind hit particles not to a specific weapon, but to all at once?

[gloomy acorn]

assume nothing
my brain is as smooth as a bowling ball
not sure what this overriding means
I'll dip into the tools properly after I'm done with exams

[red crow]

ah no problem

[final kayak]

Any idea why I am getting an Unauthorized error any time I try to publish to the workshop?

[fickle stag]

Is there a way to bind hit particles not to a specific weapon, but to all at once?

[final kayak]

Tried that same issue

A lot of people are having this problem

[red crow]

you are using -backendEnv Production right?

else workbench get a little mad

[final kayak]

Thats probably where I am going wrong

where do you set that?

[red crow]

in steam: Right click -> Properties
https://ibb.co/mBmDMRp

-backendEnv Production

[final kayak]

I set those, restarted and same problem again

Very strange

[red crow]

log out, login again

and maybe reboot your pc aswell, just to be sure

(Worked when I was fucking with it last night)

[final kayak]

Its failing here:

DEFAULT      : Checking addon processing status...
DEFAULT   (E): Addon processing failed
RESOURCES (E): Publishing failed

And I tried logging in and out again. I will restart pc as last resort

[red crow]

Huh

So my addon that already exists on the workshop i can publish

But any new addons don't work

same issues as you have

[final kayak]

Maybe BI is rate limiting or something?

Or blocking new entries for some reason?

[red crow]

thats a question for BI staff

I suggest you report it via the feedback thingy

I am going to check if my addon has actually been publishing or workbench is lying to me >:(

[final kayak]

I think the BI servers are just chugging a bit

maybe not scaled to the amount of people that are doing stuff

[wary umbra]

Anytime I try to open a sample folder my workbench crashes, anyone experience this?

[hidden oracle]

How do you open the sample folder in workbench?

[wary umbra]

In workbench I set the source directory to a folder where I have the sample folders and then opened workbench and clicked "Add existing" and then I found the folder

[wanton dagger]

Im getting
BACKEND (E): [RestApi] ID:[7] Error Code:409 - Conflict state, ApiCode:
When i try to log in, anyone got an idea what to do? I already did
-backendEnv Production

[crisp oxide]

I have the same issue unfortunately

[agile comet]

@wanton dagger on their wiki it is classed as a "known issue" but no solution yet

[wanton dagger]

Oh, and I'm out here trying for hours and hours, must have missed that

[agile comet]

I know a few people have found their own solutions, None of which have worked for me, So unfortunately were just gonna have to wait till they find a solution

[wanton dagger]

I think I'll just leave it be for now and come back in like a month

Would have liked to get my mods working but whatever

[agile comet]

chances are we wont see an arma 4 release in a long time

They are planning 12 months of support for Reforger, Chances are they will stop support once arma 4 releases

@wanton dagger I was just able to log in, I haad to log into my BI account on the actual game first and then the login on the workbench

[wanton dagger]

Huh, I still was not able to log into BI in the game, not once, not gonna try now, it's way to late, but I will try tomorrow

[agile comet]

Very weird, I had issues with it yesterday but today I was able too, Then the workbench followed after

[misty quest]

Aölright guys cya in 8 months.

[jolly night]

I opened the game logined there, quit, launched workbench, logged out and in again and ti worked

[simple roost]

Kind of a general question - do you think with enfusion we could get a nice, detailed terrains focused on larger cities?

[red crow]

I was correct, Because my original addon was made very early I think it got stuck between BI backend and Production backend. I simple made a new fresh project and now it works ingame too.
If and when you want the detail feel free to ask. Good luck with the exams man.

[gloomy acorn]

congrats
whenever you have time send me a dm with the details. no rush of course

[pine ermine]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/958764489946325002/976623050609016842/111.PNG Anyone know why i get this message...i tested the tool yesterday, needed to format pc and reinstalled fresh copy now i get this.
What am i doing wrong

[grand hemlock]

Nothing, press "ok" and look for Arma Reforger.gproj in the pop up

[pine ermine]

lemme try

@grand hemlock where is it support to be Arma Reforger.gproj ?
Documents folder...reforger tools instal location?

[grand hemlock]

Reforger game installation folder

within the addons folder of the game

[pine ermine]

Thanks got it... 🍻

Now just to learn everything from scratch and start modding

[twin sonnet]

is their a faction modding tutorial

[jade nymph]

What im gathering from my limited experience, It's that these tools are very very powerful, but also not streamlined at all

An easy example, creating a prefab is a multistep process when in reality it should just be a right-click and create prefab, then select from a list of master prefabs.

but right now I have to navigate through a multitude of folders, drag one into the world, and then back into my plugin folder,

my feedback is we still need some streamlining, doesn't mean you have to sacrifice power either.

[twin sonnet]

man it's so sad modding become more complicated

[jade nymph]

Very much not accessible to most people atm

Until we get video guides and etc

[twin sonnet]

i hope they give us a step by step to create a faction

[fervent cypress]

It is a one step process. Right click on the thing you want to make as a prefab.

[subtle widget]

Bruh modding got so much easier just give it more than 48 hours for people to figure stuff out… people dont just get the knowledge teleported into their brains it takes time to learn it themselfs and then more time to teach others just have patience

[steep ivy]

well a lot are used to having mountain of data piled up over several decades at their fingertips

everyone has come to expect it lmao

[subtle widget]

Yeah lmao now we get to figure out stuff on our own

Well docs soontm

More docs*

[steep ivy]

bis can't type any faster

but ppl want them to go at light speed

[subtle widget]

Yeah same as people getting. Refunds because multiplayer is broken like come on give it some time😩

No launch ever is flawless

[jade nymph]

End of the day, people buying the game are consumers, and Bohemia are providing a service, if it doesn't work, then I thinks it's perfectly acceptable to want a refund

[wind swan]

What’s arma reforger

[twin sonnet]

it feels bit complicated compared to modding in arma 3

[steep ivy]

its complicated now because nobody understands how it works

[jade nymph]

I'd say it got more powerful, and flexible (which is brilliant and I'm excited to dive in deep) but definitely not easier afaik lol

[subtle widget]

Well yeah ofcourse get a refund for any reason but i just find it weird how people are judging something thats been released for less than 48 hours give them time to fix their stuff

[flat jungle]

It's different, only time will tell if it's truly easier or harder.

[subtle widget]

Well from my pov where ive made arma mods so far ive found it WAY easier to make mods for enforger

[steep ivy]

depends on what it is

mission making is more convoluted

[subtle widget]

Ofcourse there is still stuff unknown like how to make vehicles work but im sure itll be easy to follow

[steep ivy]

a lot more convoluted

[jade nymph]

What types of mods you been making?

[subtle widget]

Vehicles

[steep ivy]

but if you are doing config stuff that would normally require a game restart every time you make a change, then this is better.

[twin sonnet]

maybe because my modding skills are limited to creating a faction ( retexture and config ) and i have 0 skills in any other coding stuff or engine

i found it harder

[subtle widget]

It is harder because its unfamiliar

[twin sonnet]

so i will be waiting for upcoming days

[subtle widget]

Give it some time and it will all be easier in the long run

[twin sonnet]

when more experienced modders starts dropping tutorials

[jade nymph]

It's mainly the switch to an ECS style system that makes it difficult, but it's gonna be more flexible

[flat jungle]

100% it will depend on your use case because the tools are different for each thing

[subtle widget]

Yeah so far for models and such its been amazing

Not 2 sure on how like physics and such will work since there is no docs on new vehicles yet

[twin sonnet]

mostly will continue on retexturing already existing assets and make then into a new faction

[keen rune]

Trying to setup a wheeled vehicle prefab from scratch and whenever I add components to my prefab the model disappears in the prefab editor, any ideas?

It will momentarily reappear if I make a component change but when I save it to the prefab the model disappears again from view

[wild oxide]

can someone make a giant inflatable duck

[signal ember]

@wild oxide great idea!

[sudden nymph]

why isn’t it in the game already

[pearl vine]

tactical rubber duck distraction

it's like a grenade except it squeaks when it hits

[honest yew]

Huh

DEFAULT   (E): Uploading failed! Reason: "Unauthorized"
RESOURCES (E): Publishing failed```

I went to publish a map and got this error

Has the workshop been closed off temporarily

[snow coral]

Is there any more ETA on Enfusion documentation?

[versed topaz]

Is it currently possible to locally pack and test mods without having to upload to the workshop?

[snow coral]

Use world editor to test

it basically is the game when you load in and your mods will live update

Open world editor

File -> Load new world

select eden

Near the 'play' button there's a dropdown, select play from camera position

in the resource browser down the bottom find your models and drag them in (if it's scripts it'll just run as if you loaded the game) then press play

if you update your scripts / models in the editor they'll instantly update in game no need to reload or anything

(sometimes scripts need you to refresh scripts with shift+r but that's it I think)

[stark acorn]

if your addon is in Documents\My Games\ArmaReforger\addons then you will see your addon available in "Downloaded" section of in-game workshop

you can also extract addon files from bundle (bundle is created in publish project menu)

[strange tapir]

where would I find crash logs?

[stark acorn]

%userprofile%\Documents\My Games\ArmaReforger\profile

[strange tapir]

appreciate it. Importing sat map made me crash

[strange tapir]

wait, is this the game or the editor, sorry for not clarifying earlier

[stark acorn]

both

[strange tapir]

yeah I realized that

Reason: Access violation. Illegal read by 0x7ff7b9726bec at 0x0
Very cool

[stark acorn]

console.log file is shared between game and workbench though

[north crown]

how i add a faction to the resource searcher?

i have been trying for 2 hours add a faction to the resource searcher but i cant

the faction is added to the game, even is detected when i place a vehicle from that faction on the editor

[strange tapir]

Where would be the appropriate place to post crash logs and find help?

[pine glen]

Hi,
In the world Editor there is a play button, and it has some options.
two of them are server localhost and server localhost + peertopeer

Does this mean it is possible to start a mod on a local server from the WorldEditor and have other people join?

[north crown]

but ingame with zeus that faction doesnt appears

[simple crater]

Hi everyone. Is there a way to live-reload mods directly in-game ? (or at least code resources). For example Minecraft plugins or GTA5 Redm ressources can be reloaded without shutting down the server/current game. It would be so much easier to be able to test things live !

[pallid knot]

Well you can test most things inside workbench?
Also I think, ingame, mods are actually only initialized once you load a scenario, so maybe you can go back to main menu, and restart the scenario, and it may reload your mod (you may need to re-bundle it though) best way is to test inside workbench, you can just run the scenario there

[simple crater]

@pallid knot Workbench is a little slow to restart (20 to 40 seconds). The advantage of live reload is that you can see your changes in less than 2/3 seconds. I understand you can't reload models, terrain or sounds. But for script and UI it would be really useful. Well thanks anyway for the response, I hope they will integrate this feature some day ^^

[pallid knot]

I foudn SSD helps alot.
I think currently it force exits the game. Because it always recompiles ALL scripts, so it has to unload and reload the whole scenario

I understand you can't reload models, terrain or sounds
actually models and sounds might even be easier than scripts.

[simple crater]

Ho right, I should move the engine and the game to my SSD 🙂

[pallid knot]

yeah definitely, I had it on HDD too and it was quite a terrible experience

[vestal isle]

hey bro, so whats the situation on this please? with the simple animations done in blend file? 👍 🙏

[stark acorn]

#enfusion_animation

[brazen marlin]

someone knows when we can expect the documentations for the tools to be out?

[pallid knot]

Already is

see #biki_changelog
Not sure if all of it is out, but alot is

[shy ember]

Hi, I was wondering how to I create a GenericEntity?

[brazen marlin]

thanks

[pine glen]

Not sure if this belongs here, but how exactly do you collaborate with others?
Do you split your world into many layers to not get, so many merge conflicts?

[autumn cove]

Anyone come out with a good liberation scenario yet? Realize we just released a bit ago and it takes time to make a complex scenario just wondering in general if anyones done it yet 🙂

[stark acorn]

@candid spire ?

[keen rune]

I read somewhere that BI uses SVN, not sure if there are any further collaboration tools

[candid spire]

I do not have time to help out in any other channel than #enfusion_terrain . Sorry. Every other channel is muted.

[lunar lark]

Has anyone come across a way to set the AI skill/accuracy for a dedicated server?

I am far to old, and not used to the incredible accuracy 😅

Hi, tell me how to add a language to the string table which is not there. for example ua_ua

[young ivy]

Is it possible to change keys mappings in world editor ?

controls are in qwerty, I'm on an azerty keyboard

[smoky sinew]

Anyone here know how to take a prefab from the game, and save it as a new prefab after editing it?

[tranquil gorge]

Anyone know how to publish a mod to Xbox? I was only able to publish to PC

[mortal birch]

how to load multiple project

[red crow]

Find the prefab in Resource Manager then duplicate it to your project in right click menu

You can now edit and save this duplicate.

[smoky sinew]

it wont let me delete asets within the duped prefab

[red crow]

? Delete assets in the prefab?

[smoky sinew]

Like a tent with a door. I wanna remove the door and extend the tent. Wont let me delete door

[red crow]

Prefabs are not models. Prefabs are entities with a modelObject component. In that component it references the model. I however don't believe you can edit xob models.

[smoky sinew]

I can move around parts of the prefab like this

Cant delete tho

[young ivy]

is there a way to be faster with camera movement in world editor ?

I tried Ctrl and shift/alt, no effect it seems

[red crow]

Ah, isn't there a slot manager component? It should contain references to xob files. One of those is probably what you want to remove.

[red crow]

Scroll wheel whilst pressing WASD iirc

[young ivy]

Thanks !

[fossil pawn]

How do I add an object in the hierarchy to be part of a prefab?

[misty smelt]

guys, I know this is probably too early, but does anyone think it's possible to make mag loading like in dayz? As in you have to load the magazines with ammo one by one, if you have empty ones

that's one of the great things I love about dayz, adds realism

[red crow]

Slots manager components iirc

[fossil pawn]

hmm I'm sorry I don't understand what you mean

[red crow]

On the right hand side you see Components right?

[fossil pawn]

yes

[red crow]

Add a SlotsManagerComponet

[fossil pawn]

to the root or the child?

[red crow]

to your prefab

Object properties

Right hand side

[fossil pawn]

okay I added it

[red crow]

Now add a slot and link it to an xob or prefab, and set the position

you should have a secondary mesh now

[fossil pawn]

No like I don't want to add a 2nd mesh

I want to add an object to the prefab

[red crow]

it doesn't have a MeshObject component yet?

The base mesh aka

[fossil pawn]

I'm trying to add 2 more racks to the "Campaing_ArmoryDeport_US.et"

the existing racks seem to be separate objects inside the Campaing_ArmoryDeport_US.et prefab

so I was thinking I could just duplicate 2 of the existing racks and save the prefab

[red crow]

ow

Ah yeah

[fossil pawn]

But the racks I duplicated (the red SCR_CampaignWeaponRackEntity_3) is not part of the prefab

[red crow]

Just drag in an prefab from the bottom resource viewer

then drag them so they are children of the base ArmoryDepot

[fossil pawn]

hmm

I think I just have 2 different prefabs in the world editor now

I feel like I'm missing a "Add to Prefab" button or something

[red crow]

Sace the prefab and reload?

Save*

[fossil pawn]

yeah tried that

the stuff I added disappears

[red crow]

I haven't tinkered with nesting prefabs (thats what enfusion calls them)

[fossil pawn]

I doubt many people have, haha

thanks for the help either way!

I'll tinker more

[smoky sinew]

hi, how can I hide this in game?

sorry I am complete noob

[fossil pawn]

@stone shale Sorry, I hope you don't mind the ping :/
Do you know how I can add an object in the hierarchy to an existing prefab override?

[smoky sinew]

how do I hide the red box from in the playmode?

[fossil pawn]

I don't have that in my world editor. Might be a bug?

[smoky sinew]

okay thank you bear

oh I had to uncheck draw shape

[fickle stag]

I have done 3 mods today
BetterHitsEffects, BetterRecoil, BetterTracers - check it out

i have euphoria when I understand how easy it is to make mods in this part of arma and how many possibilities the engine presents

[restive vortex]

How will the move from reforger to arma 4 be?

workbench wise, will it be just a different documents folder specifically for arma 4?

[pallid knot]

Its years out, can't really tell what will happen exactly

[lime magnet]

So when I go to my workshop thingy, my project is 0kb and my scenario doesn't show up?

anyone know?

[smoky sinew]

can someone help me with why my mod isnt showing in the scenarios?

I have it enabled too

[fickle stag]

u should publish it in test or private mode

[smoky sinew]

same issue

[smoky sinew]

what do you mean?

[lime magnet]

ah, in that case the publisher won't let me login lol

[fickle stag]

I dont even have a preview image any more ive tried readding one removing it restarting I get the same error

[lime magnet]

@smoky sinew is it a scenario? you got a missionheader file somewhere?

[smoky sinew]

yeah its a scenario and missionheader file is in missions

[lime magnet]

yeah, so for some reason that's causing the error

I had to move it to the project folder

but now im having an issue where it doesn't show up in game at all

[smoky sinew]

hmm interesting ill keep an eye out and let you know if I find anything

are you making a CAH scenario as well?

[lime magnet]

nah im attempting to make a small co-op mission for me and some buddies

[smoky sinew]

are you using the mission loading screens under ui/textures/missionloadingscreens?

because all of them are failing to load for me? might be the issue

[lime magnet]

I mean the mission wont even show up in the scenario list

are you talking about that other error you were having?

[smoky sinew]

yeah

the image one

im still getting that error

[lime magnet]

did you move it from missions to the base project folder?

the mission header

It being in the missions folder causes a bundle area, but I think not being in a missions folder causes it to not show up in game?

[smoky sinew]

yeah same error 😦

[lime magnet]

man im spooked

[smoky sinew]

I gotta get some sleep

dm me if u figure it out please ❤️

gn

[gloomy acorn]

any idea why dragging an xob in a world scene crashes the program?

[stone shale]

For this type of error check the pinned message in #enfusion_scenario 🙂

[indigo stag]

Hey! Have you figured this out? I've been confused by something similar if I'm understanding your issue correctly. Once I create a prefab and then make some changes to the hierarchy, I don't see any way to save it. Adding or removing objects doesn't save, changing transforms of the objects in the hierarchy doesn't save either, everything just reverts back to the original... For example a prefab of a building with props inside it, surely there must be a way to modify the props and their placement after creating the prefab. Feels like a bug

[smoky sinew]

@stone shale Is it right? to move camera in World editor, i have to hold right mouse button and then use WASD? Is there any other way to do it?

[indigo stag]

Yes, and scroll wheel to change the speed

[green lintel]

If anyone wants to see how custom keybinds are done, I've mine done. Can take some inspiration for the keys you want to change. Can edit it with the Workbench. File is located in \Documents\My Games\ArmaReforger\profile

Some keybinds need limitations like only pressed once, like fire selector because it changes stage constantly otherwise. Also using only X for crouch (click) and prone (hold).

If anyone knows id for item drop/pick in the inventory screen I'd be happy. Annoying that it's G by default so I can't bind G to gear/inventory like I'm used to...

[old bloom]

when I open my mod in-game it shows it as being 0kb and it will crash my game when I load a mission with that mod loaded, I cant seem to get it fixed

[snow coral]

Anyone able to help with why this publish is failing?

This mod was previously publishing

[signal ember]

Maybe something you changed broke it? If you could easily undo your changes I would try that and see if it publishes again

[snow coral]

Yeah tried that 😂

[signal ember]

You also tried restarting the workbench? That seems to be magic! Other than that I am not really sure :(

[snow coral]

Yep 😭

Now it has changed to ```
BACKEND (E): [RestApi] ID:[15] Error Code:500 - Internal Server Error, ApiCode:
DEFAULT (E): Uploading failed! Reason: ""
RESOURCES (E): Publishing failed

Reason ""

[old walrus]

should i ignore the resourcedatabase file in the svn?

[gritty trail]

anyone worked with the localization files yet?

[tawny bone]

or new character?

[snow coral]

the weird thing is though right if I try to upload that version again it says it's already uploaded

but it's clearly not

[snow coral]

Man this is so frustrating

i wish it just told me what the error was

that's better than Reason :"" after changing literally nothing

[terse stag]

Is there supposed to be documentation for enfusion?

And where do I find it?

[signal ember]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/dev-hub

You can get to the docs from there and also peruse sample mods

[fossil pawn]

That is exactly the issue. If you drag and drop the root object into the file browser window at the bottom, you create a new prefab with the hierarchy as we expect it to work, but this doesn't help with overriding a reforger prefab...

In unity's prefab system adding hierarchy objects to existing prefabs works exactly how we expect it to. You add the new object as a child in the hierarchy, then you press save and now your prefab has a new child object. There has to be a way to do this in reforger.

[magic cipher]

yo ok im being dumb im sure, but what are the controls for the editor camera? i can only seem to scroll to move forward and back

and holding right click lets me turn the camera

[fossil pawn]

hold rightclick and then WASD

[indigo stag]

Yeah exactly! Must be broken, but let me know please if you figure something out

[fossil pawn]

same, haha

I just tried to manually edit the .ed file in a text editor but it didn't work out

[indigo stag]

The only workaround I can think of right now is dragging it into the world, breaking and tweaking it and then making a new prefab out of it, deleting the old one and fixing broken references in the world, but that's stupid and we shouldn't do that 😂

[fossil pawn]

yeah and it doesn't work for my use case where I wanna add my weapon to the campaign gun racks

since they are spawned via a script, so I can't place them in the world

[rapid halo]

Wonder if it is easier in workbench tools to make something like anomalies than in a3? Basically invisible placeable object with particles coming from it and a script when player has certain distance from that object like a trigger would execute another code killing him or launching him in the air

So much to learn again

[indigo stag]

Does anyone know if it's possible to extend the editors at all, for example the world editor, if you wanted to add a custom item to the context menu when you right click an entity or anything in those lines

[blissful horizon]

yeah check out the workbench plugins section of the wiki

[smoky sinew]

so when I try and install my published mod in my addons folder I just have a file called meta and it wont install? any ideas

[raven maple]

I am hoping that the modding tools will get github integration

[pallid knot]

pinned messages in #arma3_scenario
Its usually best if you find the most specific channel to your problem than the generic ones.
People who already figured that stuff out will probably be around there

[smoky sinew]

alright i have to be a fool, trying to test my mod ingame and every time i go into the GM to spawn it, it disables it. so i go turn it back on and boom same thing.

what am i missing

[red crow]

Does your mod work in the workbench test? If it does, try your same code in a new project. I had my project refuse to load until I created a new project, changed the GUID for the old one and pushed to the workshop again.

[smoky sinew]

workbench test?

[red crow]

Open the world editor, load the GM_Eden world and play it

Basically the game but inside the workbench, it's how you should test things before trying them in reforger

[smoky sinew]

yeah i been in it, its not in the arsenal i put it in

[red crow]

Then how do you expect the mod to work ingame?

[smoky sinew]

now your seeing my issue

[red crow]

How did you put what into a arsenal?

What are you doing

[smoky sinew]

i edited the arsenal config, some people told me in another channel it was one of the ways to get it to spawn

im trying to mod a helmet just for testing

do i need to add any components?

[red crow]

Mod in a new helmet or overwrite a basegame helmet?

[smoky sinew]

new

[red crow]

Should just be a case of duplicating a base helmet and changing the meshObject and inventory information. then add that new prefab to the arsenal config. I haven't touched weapons personally so I can't help you furture then that

[smoky sinew]

i did that and its just not using the model i swapped it to, its just using the default. and yes i made sure to save

[red crow]

Did you apply the prefab? Break the prefab instance and see if you get your model.

[smoky sinew]

if you are talking about this button then yeah, click it every time it appears

[smoky sinew]

well got it to be equipable

[old walrus]

how do u make a prefab with ur own script attached to it?

[honest verge]

I am not really sure what is the use-case you are discussing. Just want to point out that there is a big performance difference between loading and instantiating Prefabs over individual entity instances (you get then when you press Break the prefab). Keep it in mind 😉

[red crow]

I wanted him to check if his model loaded properly with just entity instance. Then I knew if he was editing the the correct prefab in Object Properties. Wasn't suggesting to use it instead of prefab :)

[honest verge]

Prefabs are made of Entities. Entities can be scripted. Entities may contain Components, which you can also script. So to create Prefab with you own script, you need to script Entity or Component.

[sharp trail]

hola amigos

[old walrus]

yep worked it out after i asked that 🙂 ta

[red crow]

Any chance someone could give some info about CollisionTriggerComponent? It doesn't seem to want to fire on a collision. Does it need the model to have a certain collider/layer?

[oblique surge]

first time launching Reforger... is it just me or is the Menu Font really blurry on 1080p ?

[tulip oyster]

which workbench do I use to mod in character assets?

[unborn heron]

Really dum question from noob modder, how do I test my mods?

Is there some way to hot load my mods?

[prime tree]

yes theres a play button in the tools workbench

[slim sluice]

Hi all, I'm sure this is a question that has been asked plenty of times, but I was unable to find any public resources online. I'd like to get started with Enfusion with something very simple. Does anyone have resources for packaging a script I wrote into an addon that I can load into my dedicated server?

The wiki has very little information 😦

[unborn heron]

I'm a bit blind ;-;

I can only see a preview button, but that doesn't let me test stuff ingame cuz it's just a preview

[misty smelt]

has anyone started making arma 3 exile-like mod?

basebuilding and stuff

[slim sluice]

Do you need to publish your addon to the workshop to even use it on a local server?

My dedicated server won't start up with my custom addon.

[arctic marten]

Nnngggh. I tried to publish a project and the "Publish project" window decided to delete the metadata

[sweet junco]

Is there any chance I can play my published map without creating a game mode for it?

[zealous stratus]

Is it normal for vehicles to be indestructible?

[gloomy acorn]

I'm trying to publish a mission but it won't let me login to BIstudio

gives me an error 400

[gloomy acorn]

solved that now I'm getting error 401 when trying to publish

BACKEND   (E): [RestApi] ID:[10] Error Code:401 - Unauthorized, ApiCode:
DEFAULT   (E): Uploading failed! Reason: "Unauthorized"
RESOURCES (E): Publishing failed

[red crow]

wrong password or email

Try ogin in on the website first then enfusion

*login

[gloomy acorn]

oh it did log me in
solved error 400 by logging in from reforger
so now in the workbench it shows I'm logged in
but when I try to publish it it gives me this error 401

[fleet solar]

How do you play on the terrain you;ve downloaded?

do you have to host your own server?

[wild pebble]

if this is your first upload then you can try deleting C:\Users\user\Documents\My Games\ArmaReforger\profile\ArmaReforgerOnline.bin and logging in from workbench again

[past venture]

Is this a problem for anyone else, how to fix it, it worked earlyer today
https://gyazo.com/e0a64b2b7144871f7a2916e08c40665d

[slim robin]

did you ever get this fixed

trying to add the PASGT vest that's in the files, no idea what i am doing B)

[scenic quail]

i imagine theres already a handful of people building a dayz mod. does anyone know anyone in particular so we can follow or help?

[unborn magnet]

Doubt it considering DZSA is in a similar engine while performing atleast 2x better. There's little reason to build it into reforger

[pallid mural]

It's the opossite, DZSA hit its limits years ago, any dayz like mod in reforger will be so much better when people get around using the tools

[unborn magnet]

"so much better" in what way exactly? The game can barely handle a server above 10 players. Character models jump/frameskip all over the place.

In DZSA I get solid 144 and Reforger barely hits 60 while looking arguably worse.

DayZ has such an established playerbase and modding community I highly doubt they'll be many people jumping ship.

[pallid mural]

And how much do you think it took for Dayz to be like that? Reforger hasn't been out for a week lol.

Which is hilarious because we already have mod support with the best toolset ever, light years away from anything we had in Dayz. There's so many problems in Dayz that can't and won't ever be fixed that made people beyond frustrated, just Reforger's toolset alone has made them switch

[unborn magnet]

Such as?

[pallid mural]

Animations, server performance, vehicles, etc, etc.

Hell, go take a look at the latest update for Dayz, it borderline looks like they went to the workshop and chose some random mods to put in the base game lol

[unborn magnet]

Game uses same animations as DZ in many places, server performance is horrendous. And the updated vehicles have been confirmed to be backported to standalone later this year

[unborn magnet]

And you're assuming this won't be how BI "supports" reforger

[pallid mural]

Again, it has less than a week.

[unborn magnet]

Opinion: Ignored

[pallid mural]

You clearly haven't modded Dayz i imagine

Go find some official documentation for Dayz to do that, we're all still waiting for it. lol

[austere ether]

how to fix wall clipping

[somber thorn]

0

[smoky sinew]

Wtf 😂

[nimble jewel]

The Workbench crashes when I wanna save my map?

[nimble jewel]

This is realistic, have you never seen a human stick out of a wall?

[final kayak]

One day it just worked for me

[pallid dawn]

I appreciate the work of the modding community, but unless your mod actually has relevant content, i dont feel it should be published ingame

Or you should be very clear that your mod is not real yet in the title

[obtuse cliff]

anyone knows how to import height map to build new world ?

[stark acorn]

are you trying to save read only map?

if yes, then you first have to make a sub world of read only world

[untold moon]

Are 3rd parties allowed to make their own game in Enfusion or BI will claim the ownership?

[strange tapir]

#enfusion_terrain

[nimble jewel]

Well in the Hierarchy I only got unnamed, default and world.

[smoky sinew]

Did somebody already create a explosive that explodes when a car drives over it?

[red crow]

I am working on landmines at the moment actually. Fucking around with the collision trigger component and the fact my model collides with rigidbodies but not the terrain.

[smoky sinew]

Success, let me know when the mod is ready!

Is it also possible to make it explode when you shoot on it?

[red crow]

Probably just slap a destruction component on it. I'll see when I start working on it again.

[smoky sinew]

👍

[plush mauve]

I'm currently creating a new prop but I'm having trouble getting collision to work

Like I just run right through it

I've configured the rigidbody just like the props in the base game, but to no avail

Could anyone help?

[red crow]

Collision is a little fucky. Do you have colliders in the model in source FBX? With the proper layers?

[plush mauve]

I don't think so

I'll Google around and see how I do that in blender

[red crow]

It's on the BIKI page under modeling FBX import

You can use the sample prop's FBX, import it into blender to see how it is done there.

[plush mauve]

Okay, I'll try it out

Thanks!

[red crow]

If you get a rigidbody to properly collide with the terrain, please tell me how. Inter rigidbody collision I have worked out but terrain <-> rigidbody just doesn't work for me without an itemBaseComponent

[plush mauve]

I got the collision to work with characters so far

I'll look into terrain

[plush mauve]

I don't have an itemBaseComponent on my model here; but I did get terrain collision to work. All I did was in the rigidbody:

• Change Active to active
• turn off Static

(I started from a prop rigidbody)

[red crow]

So it falls down and lands on the ground?

[plush mauve]

exaclty

[red crow]

What colliders are in the FBX?

Showen in Enfusion. If you open the XOB. Under colliders

I think it might be up to them, not the rb

[plush mauve]

There is a warning but It still works

I'm gonna look into the warning

[red crow]

Open up on of them and show the drop down. I Wanne see the interaction laters

*layers

[plush mauve]

oh wait layer

[red crow]

Yes please. :)

[plush mauve]

trying to get them into one screenshot

oh it sais 'All interaction layers used'

[red crow]

Alright that bad

[red crow]

That model will be very demanding on the editor

Um engine

[plush mauve]

yeah

I don't know how I got all of those in

let's see if I can remove some of those layers

[red crow]

Did you set the layer in blender?

[plush mauve]

I may not have done that

let's take a look at how i do that

[red crow]

It's also in the FBX import list.
But It looks like you are porting over a P3D right?

You don't need seperate fire and Geo colliders

Just set the colliders to use the layers you need em to use.

[plush mauve]

No I'm doing an fbx

[red crow]

A new FBX?

[plush mauve]

I re-export everytime I make a change yes

[red crow]

What is the base model from?

What did you base the blender file on. A new model or an P3D imported one?

[plush mauve]

I made it all myself this morning

so a new model

[red crow]

Why do you have a Fire and Geo LOD then, I assume you do based on the collider names.

Colliders replace those lods afaik.

[plush mauve]

I opened up a blender file I downloaded from bohemia's samples, and it had Geo LOD and fire colliders

So I did that to my model aswell
