enfusion_generic

[plush mauve]

it has a lot of holes, and I'd prefer it if you could shoot through it

[red crow]

Huh, which of the samples what that? The desk drawer prop?

[plush mauve]

ye

[red crow]

I didn't see that, maybe that's why mine falls straight through the terrain and yours doesn't :)

[plush mauve]

just opened a random one

Where is the fbx import list? I haven't found how I change the layers yet

[red crow]

Use the enfusion tools for blender. The plugin

[plush mauve]

ah

I'll look where I can find it

still have to install that

that will simplify a lot I believe

[red crow]

Yes, yes it will

On the BIKI under tools there is a tutorial about installing them iirc

[plush mauve]

sorry I'm quite new to modding, just thought I jump on the wagon early with enfusion

Biki is bohemia wiki correct?

[woeful quarry]

So tried to create a World with a SCR_MissionHeaderCampaign config and as soon as I want to bundle stuff up I get this error.

RESOURCES (E): Failed to load metafile of mission config image: 
DEFAULT   (E): Cannot copy image: 
RESOURCES (E): Creating bundle failed

Only images I use are the defaults in the config

[plush mauve]

I found it, nvm

Thanks for all the help!

[raven maple]

I am wondering How easy will it be to create custom skeletons and models with the Enfusion tools?

[smoky sinew]

how do I make the map night?

[raven maple]

We need a mod so we can properly Arma Vehicles again by making them fly ;p

Hello, I have a dedicated server running on my PC where I run my game from, but want the logs to be seperated (it currently writes to the same logfile from the server and the client). Is there option for this? Thanks.

Any guides on using SVN with reforger tools

[arctic marten]

I'm just wondering why SVN instead of Git 😛

[pale bronze]

How can I open 2 mods (terrain, car) at the same time in workbench? when i use Open With Addons option it puts out some error and says not found

[vagrant sonnet]

duude

I just downloaded the mod tools

It's so f*cking awesome, it's godly

[twilit inlet]

NGL, the way that this engine presents itself, I found myself totally comfortable with the layout. Immediately began to explore and find things out. There's a LOT of potential here... Like... Millions of times more modular than 3. (2 has the best story tho.)

[north crane]

How do alpha maps work in this?

[pallid knot]

just like you use SVN on any normal folder, theres nothing special about the tools

[north crane]

Just trying to figure out what channel the alpha test is currently set on. As I've tried taking the opacity map and inverting the selection

[strange tapir]

Never used SVN so idk

[pallid knot]

Why do you want to use SVN now?
There are probably lots of easy SVN tutorials out on the internet, just don't search for it in combination with reforger/enfusion

[strange tapir]

collaboration but it's w/e

I wasn't searching for enfusion specific, I was just looking into SVN generally

[smoky sinew]

Guys if you are a youtuber please consider uploading basic tutorials on how to navigate the engine + modding workflow,
it would be awesome for people like my audience (intermediate developers who have not worked in modding before) to have educational resources, whenever possible

[tidal haven]

i know this is really stupid but can you access the workbench from arma reforger and if so how do you

[fleet solar]

No, tools are separate

[tidal haven]

where do i download the tools?

[pallid knot]

steam

[sage wharf]

do i understand right that the Mission Editor is now part of the workbench?

[wheat pagoda]

I am putting together a dev team for a zombie mod that I have made decent headway in,am looking for help with AI behavior trees a melee script for the AI to be able to use (would prefer to not give the AI an invisible gun), and animations! Again I have a basic working implementation of all of these but since I don't have a lot of experience in these categories, the quality is poor and its not a mod that I am currently proud of releasing.

PM me if interested

[bronze condor]

Are we going to get a linux dedicated server?

[daring grotto]

Anybody simply not see any servers at all

or?

just me

[slim swallow]

Everyone is like that

[broken bronze]

@wheat pagoda you could attempt to use DayZ as a baseisi for your mod, Reason i say this is its a Bi Engine, Its part of Enfusion and Part of the Older VBS engine arma 3 runs off of

[wheat pagoda]

i appreciate the input but the AI component is completely different and isnt coded in the same way as Arma Reforger as far as I know

might be wrong tho idk

[broken bronze]

I would check it, Becuase they are both close to haveing the same engine

Mainly becuase the AI for DayZ standalone was made after the engines were merged as tehy are now

[wheat pagoda]

if you're willing to look into that, i'd appreciate the help!

[broken bronze]

I dont know how!

[wheat pagoda]

haha me neither

thats why im outsourcing for what i dont know how to do

[broken bronze]

I just know about the engine conversions that took place and how the updates went on DayZ standalon

[wheat pagoda]

ight thanks for the input, sounds like a good lead

[plush mauve]

I figured it out. I used the prop preset in the blender tool (which is very handy). The top one is a normal collider, the bottom one fire LOD

[lime magnet]

It's way out there but I wonder if anyones gonna attempt a Space Battle Terrain, with Zero G fighting

[hexed crow]

did you end up getting this to work somehow?

[red crow]

Collision trigger works for terrain, rigidbody collisions. Besides that I did get it to work yes.

[hexed crow]

Any chance you could share your setup for it? I've tried getting the ProximityTriggerComponent to work like I want it to, but figured it would be easier to test stuff with the collision trigger component first, just can't seem to get it to trigger when I drive into the object that has it attached with a car

[red crow]

You making a mine my any chance?

[hexed crow]

c4 and claymores, though it's more or less just playing around in the workbench for now, the collisiontriggercomponent stuff is more so to get the hang of it and actually understand how it works

[balmy thicket]

Can anyone point me to a "How to Reskin Core assests" Document or video?

[red crow]

I am working on a framework for explosives. When I flesh it out a little more and have a release I'll ping you.

[hexed crow]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Weapon_Modding#Retexturing_asset

[hexed crow]

sounds good, thank you

On another note, does anyone know if there is an easy way to find prefabs/entities that have a specific component attached to them? In some cases you can find them by searching for the name of the component, as they somewhat match up, but is there any better way to do this?

[wheat pagoda]

i was able to search by references for a similar issue, try that

although it is generally discouraged to implement overrides for files that will not directly influence your mod (updates would be more likely to break your mod)

[red crow]

I think he just want to find an implementation of the collisionTriggercomponent I would have do that too, had I thought of it.

[wheat pagoda]

try right clicking a given script if you can find it

doesnt always work, it worked for me earlier but then it didnt a different time

maybe i just dont understand the tool fully

[hexed crow]

I don't think that works for specific components, does it? e.g., if I want to find already existing prefabs that have the CollisionTriggerComponent on them, how would I be going about that?

[wheat pagoda]

ah you're right, i was doing it with game scripts not with C component-classes

[lime magnet]

a mod is too big the download freezes at some point

[wheat pagoda]

a primitive way to handle a claymore would be to set it to be an AI that "attacks" when an enemy comes within a specified distance

but i agree that it should be possible to have that kind of collision physics

something to look at would be what physics cause grass to move when you walk on it

[lime magnet]

Yo that advanced stances extended mod is rad, you could use it for blind firing around cover, but the system in place that makes you hold your weapon back when facing walls gets in the way abit xD

[raw falcon]

Anyone knows how to disable automatic engine stop upon exiting vehicle? I can't find where that callback is set. Debugging engine stop script just shows empty callstack.

[wheat pagoda]

@hexed crow @red crow you should be looking at CheckCollisionsSimple() which an example of can be found in line 213 of enfusion://ResourceManager/~ArmaReforger:scripts/Game/Character/Melee/SCR_MeleeComponent.c

[red crow]

1989 Claymores don't auto attack. They are command fired.

[wheat pagoda]

fair point

but what was your issue with collision then?

[red crow]

Landmines?

AT and APERS Mines.

[finite peak]

anyone know why i cant join this server

[rare holly]

Do you have the mods downloaded

[rare holly]

Hmmmm

[rare holly]

Nice

[sly oak]

Has anyone figured out how to pull the rank system from conflict and use it in other things?

[woeful quarry]

As it is part of the GameModeCampaignMP you could just look it up in there

in the code its called Skill_Level

[sly oak]

Looking now, I looked a little bit, but had no clue where to start. Took me about 2 hours to get my bearings and get a feel for the workbench

Appreciate ya pointing me in the right direction

[woeful quarry]

still getting my bearing in all of it too 😄

The ShowXP Function handles like some of the logic

[sly oak]

Now I gotta figure out how to get just the level system

[woeful quarry]

Looks like the original code implementation is in SCR_CampaignFactionManager

or rather some of it

its a bit divided up

[sly oak]

If only it were as easy as dropping a prefab

One could only hope

[woeful quarry]

😄

well as soon as you find the code you can put it into one thing together

like as a Component, which you can add to any prefab

[sly oak]

So how does initializing scripts and whatnot work? Like in A3 it's at simple as executing the sqf in the init

[woeful quarry]

depends on the functionality

I've moved the Game Master Playmode to a Component and basically the game mode and constructor of the GameMaster Component handles the init and has several event handlers which get triggered

[sly oak]

So basically look into components it sounds like

seems like that is a recurring thing you're telling me that I have no clue about yet

[woeful quarry]

its something I tried out

it was the easiest way to add functionality to a game mode

you could also create your own game mode

or just attach some scripts to the game mode

[sly oak]

hmm, I'm taking notes and hopefully this info helps me

I appreciate you sharing your wisdom

[woeful quarry]

I hope I will build up more wisdom 😄

with more time and ideas to do

[sly oak]

the possibilities seem endless

I think I might have found something, so SCR_GameModeCampaignMP uses the CampaignFactionManager for the faction manager prefab (possibly) meaning just those 2 together might make the ranks happen, but if that is the case I'll have to figure out how to make other actions gain xp

[ember echo]

you gotta make models in blender right to then import into the tool thing

[zealous zenith]

Hi! Is it possible to create a mission and export it locally to test on a dedicated server or does it have to be published through the workshop?

[woeful quarry]

maybe with -addonsDir path-to-addons -addons name-of-addon

added to the server start param

with this set in the Launch Options of Reforger, I could directly test my mod

[zealous zenith]

I'll give it a go as well, thanks for the suggestion

[woeful quarry]

-addonsDir F:\dev\arma-4 -addons ConflictAdvanced

or you put it directly into the addons folder where your server files are located.

[jovial carbon]

Hey all, what did i forgot to add to make my level more bright?
In editor level looks fine and bright, but at play mode its become really dark
(1 photo - in paly, 2 photo - in editor )

[median remnant]

Is there a weather editor?

[strange tapir]

Follow the guide in the pins of #enfusion_terrain

[plush plume]

anyone know how to save a entity I placed down with custom properties as a prefab? So all I have to do is drag and drop if i want to reuse it

[jovial carbon]

where do project files you created are stored?
want to zip it and do backups files in case if i ruin something on my work

[jovial carbon]

also is there a vertex snap feature?
Like i can select a corner of that roof and snap it to another corner of room to stick two buildings together

[swift bough]

What i need to do so my placed probs. in the World Editor are not floating in game. In the Editor all looks fine but as soon as i test in game all is floating.

[obsidian pivot]

are props not working right now or am I messing something up with my config?

[swift bough]

Look at the polyline tool :
https://gyazo.com/c96195c05c6553c10fc22a49151ef952

Not exactly what you looking for but it gives you the tools needed in a different way

[jovial carbon]

thanks, yea my things is different, about snap objects perfectly to each others 😄

[swift bough]

You can do it with that tool and the poly line component. You can define spacing between the different objects this way and so on.

Like on my screen

they are perfectly aligned

[pale sable]

How do I make an object follow its parent?
I want to attach my custom models onto a car but it won't follow its movement although the new model is the child of the car...

[winter sphinx]

Anyone any idea what is platformId for Xbox? For PC it is ReforgerSteam. ReforgerXbox doesn't work.

[swift bough]

I think towing is nothing that is in by default

@pale sable

You will need to create that logic yourself

[pale sable]

I do not mean towing but just like a flag that is attached to a car

[brittle lynx]

Does anyone know how to get your item to show up in an arsenal?

[obsidian pivot]

@brittle lynx refer to the resources channel, theres info in there on it

[copper mountain]

alt+windows opens up a debug menu idk how to activate the stuff in the menu tho

[meager osprey]

planned

cant comment no more, but yeah, that's one of the reasons, isn't it?

[willow parcel]

With Enfusion, are modders going to be able to easily reference other mods? Do retextures and such like how it was in A3?

[red crow]

If you create a project with a dependency on a mod, you can make changes to that mod just like you would to ArmaReforger. So, yes, it will be easier.

[willow parcel]

Awesome 🙂

[willow parcel]

Do you need the source mod for that? Most modders in a3 just crack open the pbo and go from there to get texture templates and such.

[red crow]

if you get the mod GUID, workbench should handle getting the source for you. One of the reasons steam workshop is a very dumb idea with the new engine

[willow parcel]

Understood, thank you!

[tawdry owl]

Anyone know how to fix this error so I can save my work?! lol

[fossil pebble]

you can't modify a base game file

you need to make either a duplicate or an overwrite of it

overwrite will also change the base game file while duplicate will create new game content from your mod

[tawdry owl]

im not trying to modify it is the thing. I just finished my own model and tried to save and I got that error.

did I do something while browsing and looking at the vanilla assets? im confused.

long story short how do I get rid of it lmao

[red crow]

restart workbench?

[tawdry owl]

Yeah that worked

[desert hawk]

General question: Is enfusion engine similar to working with Unreal or is it so badly in its infancy that I should wait a few months? I'm an asset artist if that helps. I've worked with Unreal and Unity before for several years.

[clever fable]

Tried making a VZ-52 Rifle as a mod, im just bad lol is there a tutorial or any information on adding weapons?

[tawny bone]

Did the workshop get purged?

[next cairn]

restart your game, should repop

i did still has 3 pages

[timber tiger]

any idea what could be causing this?

trying to spawn in my level

[broken bronze]

Hey, I have a question when it comes to ground deformation, I saw it was possible in arma 3 engine, But will it be possible in this one?

[north crane]

So if I just want to put up a hat as a mod for a friend to download, after I've put it in the engine, textures, everything, rigged, replaced prefab. How do I send it?

[obtuse cliff]

guys . need i create fps animation in blender or i have to create it in animation editor?

[north crane]

I can't find my published simple map with a couple hats placed on it

the project doesn't even show up as test in the workshop downloads section

[tawdry owl]

I think there is some lag or something on BIs end.

When trying to join a server with my mod it says I need v0.0.2 which is the version I just uploaded but when I launch the game it doesnt actually prompt me to update my mod. Its so buggy rn.

[wheat pagoda]

Hey everyone! I'm working on adding little people to the game for inclusivity, let me know what you guys think! ❤️

[nimble jewel]

Is there anything planned to improve the Zeus Mode?

[obtuse cliff]

guys . need i create fps animation in blender or i have to create it in animation editor?

[dense geyser]

it’s still very early. there is a mod on workshop that suggests it improves things, haven’t looked at it

[nimble jewel]

When do you recon something would come out?

[dense geyser]

when it's done. my guess is BI is not focusing on game master improvements at the moment, so you'll have to wait for modders to come up with something

[stark acorn]

Could you rephrase your question? All animations have to be created in 3D software (be it Blender or Maya). Animation Editor is just used for configuration of animations itself

[hallow dust]

How do I actually get my mission to appear in the scenario tab? I just have a downloaded mod of the same name with a file size of 0 and no changes being reflected or allowing me to play it.

Hey, anyone here hosting their own server with a third party provide? Trying to figure out how to set up a server and run my workshop mod on it. Would appreciate advice if someone knows how to do that.

[tiny trail]

Any1 know how to hide the name tag over friendly Ai

[nova steppe]

anyone knows where to find Sample Mod - Adding addons to in-game editor page referred from https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Vehicle_Modding or how to make a prefab available for Zeus?

[red crow]

I did a write up of how to do it a while ago #enfusion_resources message

Didn't know there was a sample mod about it 🤔

[nova steppe]

Thanks a ton!

[red crow]

If you run into any issues. It seems to not work for some people. Feel free to DM me. If I can figure out the issue then I can fix the guide

[pale bronze]

i may be completely dumb, but how do i load custom map and some custom mod at the same time?

[zealous stratus]

vehicles are fixed?

[tiny pollen]

Ok so I am about to make the Jump from A3 to enfusion, and I know I have a LOT of reading to do. Where should I start? Basically what I am working on the most is AI in SQF. Where should I start reading up on things in order to get up to speed?
Any and all links are welcome!

[strange tapir]

depends on if you're doing this for modding or playing the game

[copper canopy]

You guys think a WOTW mod would be cool?

Would love to see that

Wonder how hard it would be to get inverse kinematics working for tripod legs.

[hardy dove]

Not sure where to post about this, but here it goes.
I have a server setup with 5 rather simple mods, mostly low sized ones maxing at about 560kb.
Most people have no problem connecting, but one of my friends are getting this error: "arma reforger failed to start with selected mods"
He has tried removing all mods, installing manually, and also installing all via joining the server when starting with none. Unfortunately it all ends with either a crash, or the error above. Anyone know what is going on, or how to go about trying to troubleshoot it? He has reinstalled, ran as admin and tried most of the common things to no avail.

[copper canopy]

Beyond me abilities but I'd love to see someone do it

[restive vortex]

Unless someone replies here, you can try:#reforger_troubleshooting might be a handy place, or #enfusion_workshop.

[full viper]

Cold War unlocks so much potential in regards to modding, this is just my personal opinion though

[keen dust]

Feel free to PM me, I have a 3rd party hosted Arma reforger server with mods added.

[vast ingot]

im getting a crash when looking at water in PIP

so scopes, binoculars

this is specifically in the reforger tools i think

[twilit inlet]

Ohhh. I want to be able to equip a fire-wire for the 777. Then I could hook it to the gun and spin while holding fire to shoot the cannon.

[hearty pagoda]

Is the LOD system based on screen %, distance, performance, or a combo? Noticing there are substantially less LOD's in the meshes than there were in previous samples and released vanilla content.

[earnest sundial]

Hey folks, I'm trying to follow the weapon creation tutorial in the wiki but it appears to want you to read a page I can't find - is there a specific Weapon Pipeline page I'm missing?

[strange tapir]

definitely get it so you can have mods ready for arma 4

[twin sonnet]

hello is anyone figure out how to make a faction and made a tutorial of it

[oblique nacelle]

In a world, there should be a SCR_FactionManager entity and it stores information about what factions exist. It has an array of factions that you can add factions to. You can then edit the parameters of the factions to your liking. Things like loadouts and AI groups have parameters that say what faction they should belong to, so you could just make a USSR squad and then set it to be in the US faction, for example.

[radiant belfry]

@ripe crow did you had any experience before your first mod ?

[half palm]

I reaaaally wish the Reforger main theme was part of the base game files, so sad that's its just in the soundtrack DLC and that probably means no way of using it in mods

[north crane]

If I wanted to work off a different drive how would I do that? Cause I set up a project, and Reforger workshop mods that I made didn't show up

I reinstalled everything, and did a test off the c drive and everything shows up automagically

also how do I load my items in?

[red crow]

Manual copy em over to the My Games/Reforger or just make a symbolic link between your drives project folder and the addons folder in my games/reforger?
Something like that should work, but don't quote me on it!

[north crane]

Yeah I have no idea, I'll just keep working on it in the c drive for now, but to anybody who makes a project outside of the documents/my games/ folder it won't show up. At least for me it didn't.

Also, how do I get my stuff to show up in-game? Like lets say I add some hats made, able to pick up the prefabs when testing, save to the sub-level. Then what?

[signal ember]

@prime tree hey. Taking today off from the editor so part 2 will be between tomorrow and thursday at the latest.

[prime tree]

nice what kind of stuff are you planning to show? and when do we get to learn to write code in Enfusion 😅

[signal ember]

@north crane I have a tutorial in the #enfusion_resources channel. The beginning i have custom folders setup and towards the end I go over getting the mod to show up in reforger. Check the timestamps to help narrow down the end part

@prime tree part 2 is some housekeeping stuff and adding the co-op/mp managers & dependencies. Then the next videos after that will be implementing features to the scenario. I have plans to do a series on "EnScript for beginners" and then after those videos ill start getting more into writing scripts during scenario tutorials to tie things together.

[prime tree]

sweet cant wait. everybody understand theres an infinite potential in reforger but its too hard getting into this without background knowledge

[signal ember]

Its going to be a journey, keep in mind I just got access last week with everyone else so I'm learning on the fly while trying to piece together content to make it easier for the person behind me.

[north crane]

How does one make a custom item appear in-game? I thought of looking for it in the game master, there is a modded filter but nothing shows up in there.

Custom item is made, rigged, and "instantiated??" into a prefab.

[north crane]

So weird it's not letting me drag in the WP_Attack.bt waypoint

Ahhh because I was dragging it from the AI/BehaviorTrees/Waypoint, not Prefabs/AI/Waypoints 😄

[north crane]

@signal ember after closing the editor at 17:10, the editor does not load the map again...

@north crane That's so strange, hopefully the new project doesn't have issues for ya. the repetition is good in the beginning though, helps you get familiar even though it can be a slight pain

[smoky sinew]

Hi there, can someone explain to me the basic steps to start a new gamemode and a world? I watched a tutorial and they seemed to have duplicate worlds (Eden + tutorial game mode), why is that?

[prime tree]

watch a tutorial again, most of them explain it... you load in a world (map) and then create a sub-scene of that world where you can change and add things without affecting the base map underneath it

[smoky sinew]

I am confused about the scene system, why is it not recommended to edit things in the base map?

[prime tree]

[smoky sinew]

Like, what exactly is a scene in enfusion

[prime tree]

when you open the workbench what is your goal? do you want to modify Everon? move buildings around, add a new mountain?

if thats your goal just load the Eden.ent (the Everon map) and edit it

but if you want to edit something else, like c reate a COOP mission, or work on a new mod, you dont want to edit the map... thats why you dont edit the map, instead you create a sub-scene

https://youtu.be/WNL_oFhlmLU?t=258 timestamp relevant

[smoky sinew]

Oh okay, so you start workbench in sort of a terrain editor mode, and subscenes are how scenarios are organized?

Forgive my lack of understanding this is my first experience with an engine like this

Would you still place prefab constructions like sandbags etc in the subscene?

[prime tree]

yeah i think the intention is to do everything in the subscene. you only touch the base scene if your goal is to edit the map

youre not alone i think almost everyone is clueless

[smoky sinew]

I got you

[wind tinsel]

@stark acorn When you are making a mod utilizing a dependency of another mod that is from workshop, do you get to see its folder contents? I'm wanting to make an ammo mod for mod makers to use so we don't run into large amounts new ammo types replicated differently throughout various mods.

[stark acorn]

yes, you will see the content of the mod - it will be in read only format just like ArmaReforger or core addon

[wind tinsel]

Awesome, that works perfectly

Thanks

[winter igloo]

Is it actually possible to view the entire Conflict mission in Enfusion? I've been trying to open CTI_Campaign_Eden.ent and it crashes the editor pretty consistently once it loads to around 80%.

Is there a prefab or something to set word boundaries ?

I need to restrict players to a smaller area but I don't want to just put giant walls around

hey guys I have a question

[drowsy grail]

What is the maximum (supported) poly count in the new engine?

[unborn heron]

How can I make new inventory items?

[unborn inlet]

easiest thing would be to check the existing vanilla content for reference

[swift bough]

Just found out that this in a string returns the player account name:

"<username/>"

Is there more of these?

[cursive ocean]

Are the client-side mods available on reforger? Or all mods must be on the server

[swift bough]

I mean it depends on the content. Most likely all mods will work in single player

[pallid knot]

Mods of server and client need to match, no clientside only or serverside only mods

[cursive ocean]

Okey thanks

[swift bough]

Oh i read that wrong

my bad

[lilac valley]

How would you implement mods that only ever make sense as server-side?

[pallid knot]

There is some networking/replication function to check if code is currently running on server. use that to prevent code from running on clients

[lilac valley]

Are server-side only mods planned?

Having a client download a mod that isn't relevant to them is wasteful

[unborn heron]

^

[pallid knot]

I have no information about that (doesn't mean its not planned, doesn't mean it is planned)

[spring oar]

hmm. game gives me "cant find addon" error, but it still shows the addon in scenarios and I can play it.. Gives me the error when i try to launch scenario and when i quit it, but otherwise it works fine

[spring oar]

fixed it! I was using launch parameter -addons "mod name". I changed it to -addons modname to fix it

[zealous stratus]

it s possible create a gui in arma reforged?

if yes, can someone give me advice?

Someone know what can cause to lost your folder in resource browser?
I had my custom folder in project before, but now its gone and not visible in resource browser

Hey lads, didn't know what channel to ask in, but I want to make a map screen mod for Reforger.
Specifically, I want to add a protractor and a ruler to the map screen (functioning the same way as the on screen compass and watch you can select while on the map screen) so you can practice realistic navigation, making it easier to calculate bearings and distance.
If someone could point me to which channel to post in, that would be greatly appreciated :)

[swift bough]

Look into the MapFullscreen.conf

There you will find a list of all the map ui components

Look into them

Its sick

Hello everyone! I'm a C# Game developer who always has played arma mods for years. After looking through the soure code I realize that coding arma mods is easier then coding C# Unity. I'd love to help out with cool mod projects if anyone is willing to show me the ropes with getting setup..I'm new to the tools

If there is any videos that someone would recommend for getting familiar with the modding pipeline that would help me alot! back to the bohemia github

Ideally I';d like to remake he dayz mod for arma reforger. I'm sure many have that goal but with my extensive programming experience I can make it happen with some help!

[smoky sinew]

Your best bet at the moment is to read through the documentation and check #enfusion_resources for any tutorials.

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

[oblique nacelle]

I suspect the issue might be that you need to give the spawn point a faction if it does not have one by default

[lavish kite]

so you mean that SpawnPoint_US does not have faction? xD

[oblique nacelle]

oh I'm blind

sorry lol

If you don't have one for USSR, the automaticrespawnhandlercomponent might be sometimes assigning you to USSR and there is no spawnpoint for them

[lavish kite]

nope, i have only 1 spawnpoint_us

[oblique nacelle]

You can set the forced faction on the AutomaticRespawnHandlerComponent to make it always set the player to US or make a USSR spawnpoint and see if it works

[lavish kite]

i'm following a guide and it works w/o that adjustment

going to check

[lavish kite]

works

[oblique nacelle]

🥳

[lavish kite]

but what if i want 2 factions?

or 3 :p

[oblique nacelle]

you can make it not force faction and instead make spawnpoints for each of those factions

[lavish kite]

so, this adjustment is only required when you have a single spawn point faction?

[oblique nacelle]

Yeah. The automatic respawn handler randomly assigns your faction, so if you get a faction and that faction has no spawn points, you can't spawn.

[lavish kite]

i guess this is a bug

because i chose US spawn point

[oblique nacelle]

What I'm saying is the respawn handler is assigning you to USSR sometimes and when that happens you cannot spawn because there is no USSR spawn point

[lavish kite]

i got it, but this is a bug?

[oblique nacelle]

No, I don't think so

[zealous stratus]

how i can create a gui?

[lavish kite]

thanks

[tribal arrow]

Would anyone like help coding? I'm really good with C# and want to get involved. I could easily help design entire game logic life mods or custom gamemodes. If you're experienced with the modding workflow but coding is your weak point lets learn together!

[old viper]

I literally asked this myself too as I watched it

[smoky sinew]

I saw a video that seemed to suggest players can move independently while a vehicle below them is driving, so I believe it is possible

I have just opened up Enfusion engine for the first time, wish me luck guys

Nah i wanna delete it completely

not sure about that but I think making it private will at least stop people from downloading it

[smoky sinew]

Is this the correct directory structure for a scenario?

AI - Holds the AI characters
AO - Holds any assets on top of the base map
Managers - self explanatory
GameMode - holds the gamemode
Spawn - holds the spawnpoints

[wild oxide]

are arma 3 assets being added to this

[vocal jacinth]

Unplayable, 0/10 instantly refunding 😡

[wheat storm]

hey can someone tell me where to set faction allegiance in the sample factions? or any for that matter?

the AI dont attack and arent attack when placed

[smoky sinew]

How do I create a prefab? I am trying to figure out how I would approach creating a prefab AI group

[wheat storm]

look at the sample faction included in the sample mods github page, plenty of examples

[smoky sinew]

Oh thanks, I didn't know that was a thing

[keen dust]

Im pretty new myself but do you have the PerceptionManager prefab added?

[smoky sinew]

Well, problem is i'm not really wanting to mod a new faction in, I'm trying to get around the fact I cant adjust individual AI and have to work in groups

[wheat storm]

not sure what to do with it, there's nothing attached to PerceptionManager.et

[wheat storm]

You can add groups to existing factions - basing your implementation on the info provided in the samplefaction mod

[smoky sinew]

Am I forced to make one man groups in order to get around the problem?

[wheat storm]

i dont know what problem you are having, it is easy to add characters to factions

[smoky sinew]

I can't adjust the exact position of AI spawning in groups

[wheat storm]

look into formations

[smoky sinew]

Okay, I feel like that's more complex than needed, I just want to be able to have a single AI face a certain direction

[wheat storm]

if you are trying to place things in game master, hold shift when clicking

that will rotate them

[smoky sinew]

No, this is in workbench

[wheat storm]

rotate on y axis then

ez

[smoky sinew]

I can't rotate individuals in a prefab

I can only rotate the entire prefab group

[wheat storm]

then dont use a group

[smoky sinew]

If I don't have a group, I can't give waypoints 🤔

Am I wrong?

[wheat storm]

not sure, i havent worked with AI in that capacity

currently working on a zombie

[smoky sinew]

yeah, the issue is I can't have an MG face a specific direction and sit there, and also retain that sort of group functions of orders and communication, because it seems like objective logic is only accessible in a group

[wheat storm]

im confident that you can group existing AI together, check at the associated "Group" components per AI entity

[smoky sinew]

I don't exactly want to group them together, sort of like how 1 man units are their own squad leaders, that doesn't seem possible

[wheat storm]

it will be complicated to do what you are trying to do, workbench isnt exactly Eden Editor level of decent

[smoky sinew]

Sure, but thats a big oversight, I mean... being able to spawn in one unit vs a static composition of 4

and beingf able to rotate a units spawn position lol

I just tried spawning in an individual character, it has a waypoint option but doesnt want to move when I enable AI and assign it

[wheat storm]

you can in game master if you are willing to set it up every time you want to run through the event

[wheat storm]

you are likely missing a component

[smoky sinew]

I'm interested in modding not zues

[smoky sinew]

I just looked, it all seems there

For some reason I can walk through the AI that are walking

[wheat storm]

its a feature 😄

[signal ember]

Its just logic that allows the ai to "see". Just drag it anywhere into the viewport

[smoky sinew]

I guess there isn't any ability to deal with individual soldiers yet?

Cause, everything in the Character prefab is there, even a input for waypoints, but they do nothing

Group just magically works

[wheat storm]

oh well yeah im running my stuff in game master because i like the testing environment better for my purposes

[signal ember]

Click through the ai components on your soldier, one of the ai components attached to a soldier needs a box checked to "enable ai" or something along those lines. Not at pc so can't be more specific

[lime magnet]

enable AI doesn't do anything or atleast it didn't when I tried

just made a group and deleted all but one

[signal ember]

I just spawn a group and in the object properties you can adjust the group size and soldiers in it etc

You can probably turn that custom group into a prefab just by dragging it into your resource browser at the bottom

Then delete the group from hierarchy and add the new prefab group

[lime magnet]

[smoky sinew]

This already done

[smoky sinew]

I can do this yes, thats what I plan on doing.
I think it's odd that only group level prefabs can do.. anything

Like, I just want to rotate a soldier lol

[balmy thicket]

how to enable local mod? (want to test before i Publish)

[chrome gust]

would a mod containing the vanilla arma 3 buildings be possible inside of the Reforger workshop or game for terrain makers?
Kinda like the thing they did with Arma 2 buildings in Arma 3?

[languid lance]

I think where you go to publish the mod in the tools, just set it to private and when you load in game only you should have the mod

[wheat storm]

okay so i know this is an easy one guys

but how to you override a file for your mod and not the base game?

actually i dont think this will work for me as the file im thinking of isnt directly connected to my prefabs

so nvm

[cosmic verge]

Yeh, They are both still game engines.
Worst case, you have to extract textures and model manually and then import them to new engine. Also dont forgot to add collisions to the model.

[lime magnet]

you'll probably be able to import them into blender and get them working in enfusion

but if you're gonna go through the effort, retexture them for PBR lol

[oblique violet]

correct, atm adding individual AI in world editor without group does not work, you won't be able to 'enable' him

[twin topaz]

Will there be ability to use external IDE such as visual studio? The current autocomplete sucks

[cosmic verge]

They are still text files. So yes.
Problem is, I dont think any IDE understands their syntax yet.

[cosmic verge]

I only saw qt being mentioned in setting.
This either means they used QT to make these tools, or that script editor is QT based.

If its QT based script editor, there's possibility install existing QT plugins and make it work like proper IDE intellisense/autocomplete.

[remote bronze]

Quick quick question to confirm: If I understood it correctly there is a 2GB RAM limit on consoles for mods to load assets and scripts and runtime variables? Are the limits documented somewhere?

[oblique violet]

AFAIK it's xbox limit

[tribal arrow]

Hello! I have a question that hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. I'm trying to create a custom script, that I could then attach to my custom game item. However when trying to "Add Component" It only lets me select Game Components from the official arma reforger repository. What's the diffrence with scripts / components ?

[wind tinsel]

You can probably get a better answer in #enfusion_scripting

[sinful grove]

Hello, I seem to be having a issue with my Enfusion tool, just started learning it.. but when I try to open anything 3d... the world or a vehicle it just locks up and the program closes out with no message. I've uninstalled it a few times installed it on different drives all the same issues.

[mortal ermine]

is there any plan to import Arma 3 creator DLCs into reforger?

like assets and maps from Global Mobilization, prarie fire, or iron curtain?

[compact oak]

How long does it usually take from publishing a mod until it shows in the workbench?

[oblique violet]

you mean until it shows in workshop?

it's instant. Just use search and I am sure you will find it.

[compact oak]

i guess im doing something wrong then xD

[oblique violet]

well you just publish it, it says publishing done, and after that it should appear there

try to publish it again? maybe it's stuck iin processing state 🤔

[compact oak]

Nah it says its done... But i did set it to private

[oblique violet]

🤔 private visibility might be broken.

You can try set it to 'test', then enable 'test mods' filter in workshop ui.

[compact oak]

I will try, but i dont wanna publish it under public, cause mission name has ...some profanities in its name

Also followup question. is there a way to delete said workshop content, from workshop i mean

[oblique violet]

I think it's not possible ATM, for now please send a report with a request to delete it (open mod details page -> report, explain that plz delete it because you were just testing it)

[compact oak]

Okay, thanks for help

[chrome gust]

Is it legal tho? Like are those assets restricted from being put into reforger?

[echo latch]

Anyone know where to find this in the documentation? "Vehicles - Wheeled Simulation"

[bold rain]

Sorry for the days-late ping, but did you ever figure out what was going on here? I get a very similar error message when attempting to generate a navmesh

my folder with my custom content exist in files of windows

[pallid knot]

It'll still be in your folder where you put .. yes so all your files are still there

maybe make backup

look at the console log at the bottom of the workbench, what it prints when you open the project, probably some errors in there

[jovial carbon]

oh

 ENGINE       : Initializing engine.
 ENGINE    (E): Addon 'Carpat' dependency '591AF5BDA9F7C38B' can't be added ```

[pallid knot]

Yeah that mod is gone, maybe you unsubscribed or it was taken off of the workshop

To fix it, you could open your addon.gproj, and remove the dependency manually, but some of your stuff may still break

[jovial carbon]

when i made a project - im only included the arma reforge itself without any modes

all what i did and cause that issues, its i tried to add Capture and Hold dependency to my map

[pallid knot]

oh Carpat is your own thing

[jovial carbon]

but once i tried to do it - my content gone

[jovial carbon]

yea, a custom map i working on

[pallid knot]

can you send me your addon.gproj file?

[jovial carbon]

uploaded to your DM

Ah ok, 591AF5BDA9F7C38B is missing.. now what mod is that 😄

must be capture&hold

where do add it?

[pallid knot]

inside your My Games/ArmaReforger/Addons you should have a 591AF5BDA9F7C38B folder, if you have capture&hold addon downloaded (from ingame workshop)

[jovial carbon]

yea, it do exist

[pallid knot]

You can remove

Dependencies {
"58D0FB3206B6F859" "591AF5BDA9F7C38B"
}
to
Dependencies {
"58D0FB3206B6F859"
}
to remove the capture&hold dependency again and make your project load again.

Does it have a addon.gproj inside it?

[jovial carbon]

yea, its does exist

[pallid knot]

:/

why workbench be stoopin around then 😠

[jovial carbon]

after edits i have now that

Arma reforger only has one dependency, and that is 5614BBCCBB55ED1C

Maximum confusion right now.

"591AF5BDA9F7C38B" is Capture&Hold :U

Verify game files via steam I'd say

[jovial carbon]

here what a did for contest

(What i did in Workbench options? i was tried to add a Capture and Hold addon to my project via "Workbench>Options>Dependencies> add + and insert ID 
591AF5BDA9F7C38B ) After restart my dependencies settings  and my custom made content gone from from Resource Browser. ```

[pallid knot]

oh.....

Maybe it was stoopid and added the dependency to base game itself 🤣

The ArmaReforger.gproj file in steamapps\common\Arma Reforger\addons\data

It should only have one dependency

[jovial carbon]

 ID "ArmaReforger"

 Dependencies {
  "591AF5BDA9F7C38B" ```

[pallid knot]

holy crap how the hell

You my lord found a interesting bug

Replace that dependency by 5614BBCCBB55ED1C that should fix it

[jovial carbon]

great, now i can launch the game. will test workbench soon

[pallid knot]

like this you did it right? just added one more there?

[jovial carbon]

@pallid knot i can confirm that you fixed my issue. thank you very much.
Will gift a arma to another one my friend

[pallid knot]

Mh I followed your steps and I cannot brick my game 😄 No idea what happened there

[jovial carbon]

yea, i was click + and tried to add Capture and Hold due Game Master and Conflict setup gamemode to my map was very confusing

[pallid knot]

Ah!

Did you try to add the dependency twice?

[jovial carbon]

i was tried add, remove hahahaha, because i was so confused

[pallid knot]

I added the dependency once and restarted workbench.
Now the dependency fails to load, the project fails to load and it loads the ArmaReforger project instead!!
And if you go to dependencies again inside workbench, it now shows you dependencies for ArmaReforger project, and not your own, so if you then change there, you brick your whole game

[smoky sinew]

If anyone can help:

If I remove assets from the Eden map for my scenario, what happens?

Do other scenarios get affected by this if players enable my mod? Like I just want to remove some furniture from a house

[next trail]

You cannot remove assets in packed maps. You are able to delete them in editor but it is not saved. When you close and open editor then you will notice that those things you removed are back.

[smoky sinew]

Okay, so theres no way to adjust the map

Can I spawn in a prefab building and remove the furniture that way?

[silk orbit]

you can disable the prefab components/elements.

But not delete.

[silk orbit]

I guess having the gproj of the game itself as readonly could help ;D

[next trail]

You can override prefab but this will apply to all these prefabs in world.

When you right click on prefab then you can select Override in 'yourAddonName' and then you can Edit this prefab in your addon. If you want to hide some furniture then you can disable MeshObject on it.
Thats probably the most easiest approach you can take.

In this case it will affect other scenarios if players enable your mod.

[winter igloo]

So I noticed something interesting when messing around with game master in conflict. It appears that groups are dynamically created and removed depending on player proximity. I was wondering if this is being done by scripts running in the conflict scenario, or is this rather an example of how streaming works? If this is streaming, then that explains why groups I created as game master did not disappear at long distances (since I was probably the owner of those groups) but other groups did (since those were probably owned by the authority).

Everything I write ends up in it being "Blocked" for this community...

Is anyone else excited by Arma fou4r's ocean Logo background!?

Do you guys think that such decision could mean that we will finally be getting a proper Naval depiction in an Arma game? I am talking about fully walkable and fully functional Ships, Submarines, Boats and other sea assets! If that is the case then such feature will be a first for an Arma game because previously the Naval assets always felt like an afterthought, just a check box to fill and then be done with it.

wher can i download the official tools for enfusion and reforger?

[plush bane]

steam under tools assuming you own reforger

[supple sky]

Probably. But since BI seems to be polishing all their previously rough edges, focusing on the previously underwhelming features seems like a good idea.

[cedar ibex]

yeah i worked it out. thank you.

[sharp mango]

When i load the Eden.ent it does not seem to load properly even if i tp to some object on the map it still wont load. It looks like this. Anyone with the same problem or a solution?

[frozen quarry]

For conflict layer if I wanted to move the capture radio from the mesh tent to a building would I have to tie SCR_CampaignTriggerEntity to the prop?

[twilit inlet]

Can someone use the PIP module for scopes to output video, using an offset, attached to the head, like a helmet cam?

[empty nexus]

hmm I duplicated rpg launcher and its ammo, changed a lot of the missile movement component values and they have no effect ingame

modifying things works fine for a rifle but not for a launcher

[meager osprey]

It works the same, my friend

You should not duplicate, if you are creating your own launcher then inherit.
If you want to change default weapon then override

[olive shadow]

Is SnowRunner Arma Reforger ???? 😂🤣

[tribal arrow]

I was able to get a working silencer attachment that can be taken off/on from the weapon. Does anyone know if there is a way my attachment can change the weapon fire sound?

Since it's removable, I need the weapon to be able to fire either the original sound or suppressed shot

[steep trail]

supposed to be a placeholder only I belive

no unique animations set cuz it's just for testing

[stark acorn]

are you using correct animations? Sample NewWeapon has its unique animations

[empty nexus]

the changes are visible in properties when it is spawned in the world, but when the launcher is fired it behaves as if it was using the original projectile

[meager osprey]

You can send me your setup/mod on priv and I'll look what is wrong there

[dense vapor]

Any good tutorials anyone recommend to learn the scripting language? I understand JavaScript, PHP and used C# in the past so I understand syntax structure and OOP principles fairly well, it's just learning what all the class names mean

For example this is an EnemySpawner from another mod

[ComponentEditorProps(category: "OnlineDeatmatch", description: "Enemy Spawner")]
class OD_EnemySpawnerClass : ScriptComponentClass {};

class OD_EnemySpawner : ScriptComponent
{
    [Attribute("0", uiwidget: UIWidgets.EditBox, "What faction does the enemies belong to", category: "OnlineDeatmatch")]
    private string enemyFactionKey;
    [Attribute("1", uiwidget: UIWidgets.EditBox, "Timer for the enemy respawn checker", category: "OnlineDeatmatch")]
    private int enemyRespawnMilliseconds;
    [Attribute("2", uiwidget: UIWidgets.EditBox, "Amount of enemies this spawner will spawn", category: "OnlineDeatmatch")]
    private int enemyCount;

    ref map<string, SCR_ChimeraCharacter> SpawnedEnemies = new map<string, SCR_ChimeraCharacter>;

    override void OnPostInit(IEntity owner)
    {
        SetEventMask(owner, EntityEvent.INIT);

        super.OnPostInit(owner);
    }

    override void EOnInit(IEntity owner)
    {        
        RplComponent replication = RplComponent.Cast(owner.FindComponent(RplComponent));
        if (!replication || replication.IsProxy())
            return;

        GetGame().GetCallqueue().CallLater(SpawnEnemiesOnStart, enemyRespawnMilliseconds, false);

        super.EOnInit(owner);
    }

I understand what it's doing, but I don't know what RplComponent is, what replication means and so on

[tribal arrow]

I have a silencer weapon attachment that the player can put/remove from their weapon. Is it possible to have two gun sounds on the weapon sound component and choose which sound to play?

[oblique nacelle]

I've been able to learn about what a lot of the default classes do by right-clicking on them and clicking "view declaration" which opens up a window where I can read through their code.

RplComponent specifically is a component attached to entities that handles network replication for that entity. Replication means that it communicates data between the server and the client in order for the clients to replicate the state of the game on the server, which is necessary for multiplayer games because the clients and server are literally different instances of the application running on different machines. There is a page on the wiki that explains how this works in Reforger: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Multiplayer_Scripting

[dense vapor]

I'll try that. Think It's just going to take a lot of reading for now

[oblique nacelle]

Indeed

[mellow surge]

Did they delete the showroom chat?

oh no they just moved it, ignore me

[true loom]

im getting some major mixups when trying to load the dedicated server

as of right now i cant use config.json bc im having issues forwarding 17777, which means i cant test stuff on dedi

so im limited to using commandline stuff on launch

when i launch with -listscenarios then i get my valid scenario list

however this guid

{AC5C08F4520F3420}

does not match the GUID of my mod

5968FE6DF3F3853B

every time i try to load with the -missionHeader parameter, it just goes back to the default world

as if running -addons and -missionHeader at the same time breaks

[true loom]

i was able to get the mission to load by using the -server param and forcing my world to load

NOW my issue, as it was before, is a script checksum error

im loading the EXACT same folder

between client and server

[wind tinsel]

Is there a way to Enable 2D Scoped in Editor so I can test that?

[smoky sinew]

can't you set it in the options with the escape menu?

[wind tinsel]

Well, in World Editor, escape takes you out of the game

So you can't really open the settings

[smoky sinew]

Try SHIFT+F10

[wind tinsel]

Yeah, that works

Thanks

[smoky sinew]

also SHIFT+F11 maximizes the ingame window

[wind tinsel]

Just F11 works for the fullscreen

[smoky sinew]

cool

[calm wyvern]

Soviets would be proud.

[fickle stag]

I lost the ability to create dependencies in my mods. I reinstalled arma, tools and mods many times, but it didn't help. A folder with the same name as in the error exists in the folder with addons. Does anyone know what's going on?

[faint oyster]

Any way to get the XOB for vanilla things?

And edit them?

[fickle stag]

Problem solved

[vernal otter]

hello how do i mod the game

[slender bluff]

go to youtube, it would be really hard to explain by texting

so like could reforger be considered somewhat open source at this point? we have access to the engine, and almost everything that went into making the game isself

[vernal otter]

no, open source is acces to the source, not sdk

[slender bluff]

aw makes sense

doesn't change anything but just wondering. still cool that we can see so much of its internals

[slender bluff]

although I'm not totally sure if I get what you mean

like from what I can tell (and maybe I'm wrong) all of the scripts in the game are accessable through the editor

[vernal otter]

Open source means looking at the actual code 9source). Software development kit (skd) is what we have access to. the tools the devs make. We cant make changes in the core code

[slender bluff]

ok we can't edit it and commit it, but we can see it

[vernal otter]

hmm, i think you have a point, yes. Is modding open source? A game that has mods which are open source at the game core is open source? idk maybe

[slender bluff]

well we can legit see the actual scripts made for the game

[vernal otter]

it is kind of the same principle as open source, having the community contribute to the game

[slender bluff]

idk if you've checked it out but I'm looking at the 'melee' script and checking out how melee works in the game

like, we can see a lot of shit

[vernal otter]

that is kinda open source, yes

[slender bluff]

let me look up the definition

'denoting software for which the original source code is made freely available and may be redistributed and modified.'

so no, not open source at all. but it's still cool that we can see and learn so much of it

[vernal otter]

i havent really checked out what we have access to, i just assumed we just had access to an sdk for modding

[slender bluff]

no, it's like... you can legit go into the game files and check everything out

[vernal otter]

Maybe technically open source is related to licensing, but the fact you can see the source code makes it kinda open source

[slender bluff]

it's not technically open because you can't distribute your modifications, but you can sort of do so through mods so maybe this is a grey area

if you're into modding other games, this will probably blow you away though. there's a shit ton of shit that is exposed to us

[vernal otter]

Id have to study phylosophy to come up wwith an answer, mayber after a couple more pints

im thinking of making a SP mission for myself, but im not sure how much work it will be

[slender bluff]

couldn't say myself, I'm still trying to get used to the engine. can't do anything in it really atm

[vernal otter]

something on the lines of "you have crucial information and your unit was attacked along with a full on assault on the island, you have to take the info somewhere by any means necessary"

[slender bluff]

that sounds cool

[vernal otter]

yeah, its really cool in my mind, but making it cool in game is a big leap haha

[slender bluff]

also hard given how few resources there are for making them atm

[vernal otter]

I really like how they are approaching the game, focusing their effort into things that actaully make a difference and leaving the rest to modders.
for example how they said there would be a couple of new vehicles. They focus on quality, new systems and leave the quantity of (quality) content to modders

ie instead of realeasing 100 new cars sligtly different from each other, i guess they will release something on the lines of a few cars, 1 chopper, 1 tank, 1 boat and so on for each faction, each new vehicle related to entirely different physics models and game mechanics

and leave the variety for the modders

[slender bluff]

yeah, and giving us such good tools to make the mods as well

seems like they've got their priorities down really well

[vernal otter]

i agree

[slender bluff]

bohemia has a history of wacky game releases so I was really worried for this, but looks like they're on the road to pulling it off

[sinful grove]

Anyone able to help my issue. when I load up Enfusion and if I load anything 3d it just freezes and the program closes down.. I'm reinstalled it a few times now..

[rare ibex]

sad, can't view over 4k

[faint oyster]

Is there a way to extract vanilla XOB?

[unborn inlet]

no

[full viper]

did anyone know this

[wide veldt]

Been like that since it got released in 1978

[full viper]

I thought it might not work in the Alpha version which is what surprised me since there's no boats or anything yet

[sinful grove]

Hopefully they can fix the flooding inside 😄

[obsidian helm]

Gotta clean out the blood somehow from all those rpgs decapitating the gunner

[north crown]

Actually there's components for boats, helicopters and I think for planes too, but I don't know if they work

And even if they don't work, you could programme your own physics for boats, helicopters and planes, as theres nothing that prohibits you from doing it

[silk orbit]

Is there any documentation on chat commands?

so far I only found #restart and #login

[smoky sinew]

what about #kick #login #logout #restart #roles #roll #shutdown ?

[timber tiger]

Is it against TOS to add vehicles/assets based on Arma 3 3D models?

[pallid knot]

what does "based on" mean

Making something that looks similar to Arma 3 stuff? no.
Stealing Arma 3 stuff, very much yes.

[timber tiger]

Fair enough, wasn't sure if it would be considered as such since it's basically porting assets from one Bohemia game to another, not a third party game for profit.

[pallid knot]

Profit doesn't matter for copyright violation, stealing stuff is stealing stuff, whether you sell it or give it away for free.

You cannot get Arma 3 models in a format that lets you port them, without violating the EULA and ripping models. Which is very much not allowed.
So you can't even do it in the first place.

[timber tiger]

There used to be a collection of Arma Aircraft models on DevianArt ages ago, hence why I'm asking whether they could theoretically used, assuming those were ripped.

[dry citrus]

is it possible to adjust the steering speed / ratio

i know maxsteeringangle changes steering angle (duh)

but how can i change the speed for turning lock to lock

so i can have quicker ratio steering

also how do i adjust bones and, therefore, camber

Hey guys, someone know how to remove some HUD things such as name of people talking in radio, name of player on their heads, indicator of position in the map bottom right corner etc ?

Cant find docs on that type of modification

[desert sparrow]

Hi guys, is it possible to add mods to an existing progect?

[unborn inlet]

what do you mean by that?

[desert sparrow]

If I download some guns/vehicles and similar as a mod, how do I add them to my custom mission?
Before I could've add stuff through the A3 launcher and it was available in the editor. Now?

[oblique violet]

You must set those mods as dependencies of your projects

In workbench there is 'options' section, you can access it through top bar of the workbench, there you can add more dependencies

[empty nexus]

when I saw the default names for characters in the identitycomponent I almost died laughing

[desert sparrow]

Cool, that was what I was looking for 😉 ta

[desert sparrow]

I found the option section, linked the mods via ID, but I still don't find them on my project when loading the map

[oblique violet]

I think you should download them via workshop, add them through the Workbench start window which lists all mods, and then open your mod.

[desert sparrow]

Ok, missed the part where I had to actually load the gproj files, heers

[sage ore]

Where can I find the "Standard" conflict mission to edit some files?

[meager osprey]

World's/MP
Campaign_Eden

[stark acorn]

https://github.com/BohemiaInteractive/Arma-Reforger-Samples/tree/main/SampleMod_NewFaction/Worlds/MP and here is editable version

[desert hawk]

Any Bohemia devs wanna suggest a vehicle (or static) that they themselves certainly aren't making that is also 1989-ish 🙏🥺

[meager osprey]

Heh, so many
We are going to do mostly US, Soviet and civilian vehicles.

[desert hawk]

Maybe I should focus on Eastern Germany or Cuba or something then.

[ripe crow]

British vehicles !

[desert hawk]

That's certainly a good option MasterBaiter. Do you have any suggestions?

[ripe crow]

I'd say a Centurion tank but not sure if we get tracked vehicles 😬

[desert hawk]

I know how to rig them, I just don't know if it's how Bohemia is going to implement them

Worst case scenario I have to redo the tracks later on.

[ripe crow]

Maybe a Ferret MK2 scout car

[desert hawk]

They would have been on the way to phasing this out in 89

Maybe something from the 70's and not the 50's?

[ripe crow]

FV721

[desert hawk]

Damn that thing is cool as hell

Yeah lets make that

[ripe crow]

Awesome to hear that you take that on 💪

[desert hawk]

Maybe I should start a British faction 🤔

I'd need to familiarize myself with the process first but this looks really cool. If I can find good interior photos we're in the money

[ripe crow]

I tried my luck with some DPM retextures but struggeling to make them a seperate item

may be looking into it more when tutorials are floating around

[desert hawk]

Anything that has to do with making the vehicle I can do that part, it's getting it into the engine

[ripe crow]

yeah 😅

[blazing yew]

any timeline or eta on getting custom extension support for servers?

[opaque light]

I published a model but when I go in a game it doesnt show that its there can anyone help me?

[pastel badge]

can someone help me with a mod? Its just a simple texture mod

[spare musk]

how can i add my own markers on the map? i havent had any luck with tasks with map descriptor components

[paper sandal]

I'm unsure where to put this
I am having issues with the interaction prompts appearing to get into my vehicle
I can drag myself in with GM and I can interact with prompts from the drivers seat, I just cannot interact with the doors I have placed using the actionsmanagercomponent and linked to the SCR_BaseCompartmentManager

For reference I am working on a rather large ship

I also cannot get the SCR_EngineAction to actually start the engine

[stark acorn]

try checking compartments debug - to do so, use win+alt(or lctrl) and then navigate to vehicles->Compartments debugs

[paper sandal]

I'll give it a try

[lime magnet]

enfusion is crashing when I try to open items/equipment

It was because of either rivatuner or afterburner

[lime magnet]

anyone know what's causing this when I load one of the custom clothing prefabs I made?

hmm, well if I check the "Inherit Parent Skeleton" checkbox it works

[lime magnet]

figured it out, I was directing the loadout to the prefab model and not the prefab item lol

[remote bronze]

General question regarding console modding:

• Does the FileIO access work on consoles clients? I mean you will probably need to store settings etc, but I am not sure if there is a $profiles folder on them as well.
• And more importantly, are dedicated servers for consoles in any way special? Can FileIO be used on them to store small pieces of persistent data there?

I am not sure if "console servers" are seperate thing or if they are just normal server executable but console players connect there?
I probably missed a memo on how to host console servers. If anyone has a link for me that would be great. https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Server_Hosting does not mention consoles at all hence my perhaps dumb question.

[stark acorn]

- Does the FileIO access work on consoles clients? I mean you will probably need to store settings etc, but I am not sure if there is a $profiles folder on them as well. ``` nope
as for second thing, I think you should be able to write something in profile

[smoky sinew]

does anybody have a guide where i can read or watch on how to setup my own serer mission file kind of like how you do in arma 3 where you can script a mission for the mpmissions i should be able to figure out how to script and create my own mission files on my own and using the stuff already posted in the discord im just unsure on how to set everything up

[remote bronze]

Thank you for the info, As expect, alright. Any info on how to self host console server so we can test and develop for them too?

[empty nexus]

where can I ask a question about the assets and licenses?

[remote bronze]

Just ask the question 🙂

[empty nexus]

I need to know if I can legally make an asset that contains a version of the spruce tree with a modified material/texture

same mesh, modified texture

but I need to know like, 100% yes or no, because I think putting 500 hours into this to get banned isn't efficient use of time

[remote bronze]

Nothing speaks against you combining the existing vanilla mesh file with new textures. New stuff you add go into your own mod, existing BI assets you only "link" in the settings. The only thing you need to stay away from is re-uploading anything from Arma Reforgers assets. That is the big nono. So no extract, edit and reupload the mesh files for example.

[empty nexus]

ok, same mesh, but I wanted to modify the texture, so it would have been an altered version of existing texture

this means I can only use an entirely NEW texture

correct?

the mesh wouldn't be included, it would be overridden/referenced

[remote bronze]

Re-textures based on the original ones have often been tolerated because of the significance of the transformation applied. So a heavily edited texture can become your own work. But if you want to be very picky about it, as long as you did not make it from scratch on your own you don't hold all the rights so. So you would need to make it from scratch in theory.

[empty nexus]

I feel like the texture edit would be classified as derivative work

in any case I would like to know for sure, instead of guessing

am hoping for an answer from someone that deals with this for the team

as an alternative to having to ask a lawyer to read the agreements

is there a contact e-mail I can use for this or something?

[remote bronze]

[e-mail] would be a place to ask the question and get a response (maybe).

[unborn inlet]

@empty nexus

1. all modding is derivative works
2. re-texturing etc is derivative of the existing artwork
3. considering that in the samples provided by BI, there is derivative work as example based on the vanilla AK-74, and considering the fact that modding (and that is derrivative in itself - see p1) is not only allowed but encouraged, i would say that using any of the existing datatset and modifing it by using the existing workbench and without reverse engineering any parts is not only allowed but encouraged.

you can check the licenses for Reforger here
a. the game - https://reforger.armaplatform.com/eula
b. the workshop - https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop-terms

[empty nexus]

gotcha, the problem with textures is that I would need to get it out of workbench to other software, that would be a no bueno?

[unborn inlet]

afaik the only current way to do that is to screenshot it (which is not the best way, but well, it sort of works)

[empty nexus]

right, no export button

time to upgrade to an 8k screen

[unborn inlet]

:))) - there are no 8K textures

[empty nexus]

or I can use virtual resolution for the screenshot

nvidia can do it, put like 8k on your screen and scale it down for display

but the screenshot you get is 8k

any clue if there's going to be a button to uncompress the textures?

[lime magnet]

if screen shotting is allowed, I could take the screenshot, upscale it to the right size again

[unborn inlet]

in general, i would say that you shouldn't worry about it, the entire thing (workbench) is designed to be able to have derivative work done - prefabs for instance and content / addon inheritance

[lime magnet]

also, is there any guidelines on importing audio? I got a wav file to work but it's 37mb and playing it makes my computer go REEEEEH

[empty nexus]

I used a wav for my fake waterfalls and it was fine

[lime magnet]

can you compress wavs?

[empty nexus]

maybe something to do with sample rates and such

[unborn inlet]

if you really wanna confirm that directly with BI, you either wait for some BI greeny to confirm the above, or you send an email to legal at bistudio dot com

[empty nexus]

sure, yeah with things like this I would think it's useful to be extra sure

[empty nexus]

my wav file was stereo, 44100hz, PCM signed 16bit

a little below 10 seconds in length, 1 MB in size

there's an audio makers channel tho

[lime magnet]

ees alright, I just deleted most of the track and it's 3mb now

IT WORKS

[empty nexus]

comfy

[pallid knot]

too calm, someone make piano subwoofer mod please thanks

[empty nexus]

you say that but I did once hook up a microphone to a subwoofer

[lime magnet]

is there a way to hide waypoint visualization?

[paper sandal]

For some reason I can not drag the pilot compartment base config into the compartment slot

there is no PilotCompartmentSlot present already

[dense vapor]

I'm spawning in the middle of the ocean, what have i forgotten to add?

[lime magnet]

just click on one of the items and press F

dat just happens sometimes I think

[remote bronze]

you appear to have two faction managers? and no camera manager?

[dense vapor]

One is a faction manager and the other is a loadout, I can move about in gamemaster now but the screen is super white

Tweaking the light settings, can see a little better. not sure why it's so bright to begin with

[paper sandal]

I've been trying to add a PilotCompartmentSlot to my BaseCompartmentManagerComponent and the Pilot config will not drag to it.
I cannot change the class of the BaseCompartmentSlot and a PilotSlot is not added when I press +
I am unsure what to do because this means I cannot get into my vehicle and drive it.

[toxic geyser]

@dense vapor looks like you are missing GenericWorldPPEffect, see Post-Process Effects https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:World_Editor:_Terrain_Preparation_Tutorial

[covert hare]

Can I add a mod dependency after I created a mod and worked on it?

[swift bough]

Yes you can when you right click on your project in the project overview you can add new dependencies if this is what you are looking for.

Did anyone was able to setup a dedicated server environment yet that works with workbench debugging tools and the peer-tool with there custom project loaded?

I mean also so the backed works and i can work with player UIDs and identities

[nimble jewel]

Where did the showroom go?

[empty nexus]

I don't understand why firing a custom rocket from rocket launcher has a 50% chance of crashing with an "illegal read" error

how do I get more helpful error logging in the editor?

[cerulean bolt]

how does one login to reforger tools? my dropdown menu for member area just continuously says logging in?

[paper sandal]

Hmm I can use the interaction prompts with my vehicle now but every time I get into the seat it pushes the vehicle into the ground

[tribal arrow]

What is the best way to create an array filled with prefabs that I'll need to store? For example in Unity I could create a list and update that list in the editor. I noticed some components have the UI widget which allows selection from a list

Do I need to create a protected ref to every prefab asset I plan to spawn in my mod or is there a more professional approach

[unborn inlet]

you need to have an account at https://accounts.bistudio.com/profile

[paper sandal]

Does anyone know why the engine start action may not work?

It completes the audio and animation but the vehicle does not move and the revs don't increase

[dense vapor]

How do you remove the default textures for road generators?

[cerulean bolt]

I made an account but the drop down still just says logging in?

[coral night]

little idea, is terrain deformation possible within enfusion?

[crisp yoke]

Hey, just made my first gun in Blender and am looking to have it imported into Arma
Right now I am about to begin doing some animations, but I was wondering if there is a specific workflow I need to follow to make the import process as easy as possible? Or can I just look up any guide on how to set up bones 'n all that jazz and be good to go?

which is the "proper" channel about making gamemodes?

not mission making?

[sage ore]

Oh lol

Didnt see that one

Yeah mission making

[coral night]

OK well yeah, large.
I'm sure though, if any engine can, enfusion maybe could lol

[hollow rampart]

no.

in future but at least right now, no

perhaps unlikely. terrain deformation while cool, can cause all kinds of glitches

[smoky sinew]

Arma is glitchy enough in its DNA let's not give it more reasons to freak out

Hi there, not quite sure where to ask that so I'm just going to drop it in generic.
I'm kinda stuck when it comes to setup the zeroing for a scope I'm working on. the Weapon creation documentation is quite straightforward if the asset has a 'muzzle' component (so like setting up the zeroing of an iron sight which would be part of a gun) but I'm not quite sure how to do it on a separated prefab which doesn't have one

Looking for a small team to be a part of for modding, I know nothing but how to create a model from nothing to finished product 😄 shoot me a dm!

[lime magnet]

how would I go about adding one of my prefabs to the Game Master Gamemode?

[stark acorn]

just a note though, one sub page is still not present on wiki so in case of props, you might have to use "Create/Update Selected Editable Prefabs" plugin while having your prefab selected in Resource Browser. This will create new variant of the prefab in PrefabsEditable structure

any plans for more exception handling? crashing to desktop with no relevant console logs is frustrating

[unborn inlet]

+1 ^^

[meager osprey]

specific ones or just all of it? 🙂

I suppose you are using verbose loglevel CLI and also check other .log files.
We actually improved logging for backend/networking in .61 version.
If you need more specific logging because of modding, then please request it through feedback tracker with explanation of your usecase or problem.
This way it lands directly on person which is responsible for the system, that person knows usually the best how to solve the issue, or how to push out more diagnostic info, be it logs or something else.

[unborn inlet]

i think that is a more general request, there are time when it just crashes for no particular given reason

[meager osprey]

true, those we get through crash database and wherever applicable, we add asserts or logging to find out the reasons.
If you have crash reporting - filling up description of what you been doing is the best you can do for us 🙂

[unborn inlet]

will surely do it

[empty nexus]

can I enable verbose logging via start parameters? I really need MORE logs of any kind when working with things

anything to help me figure out what I did wrong myself - I don't want to bother you guys with every problem I face

btw I have commercial experience with unity and unreal engine, so I am pretty sure I can correlate a crash to something I've done or didn't do based on a verbose stack trace and event logs

on the topic of exceptions I would really like as much handling as possible because a crash to desktop is not good workflow, maybe crash out of the play mode instead

[meager osprey]

true
but not always callstack or memdumps give enough info. We still have bunch of crashes which are missing proper reprosteps

[empty nexus]

point being 99% of the time my crashes are my fault 😄

[meager osprey]

well most of them are because we didn't expect you to do things you did

So, blame is on us, still

[empty nexus]

last time I believe I crashed when I duplicated a rocket entity and changed its prefab to one with no rigidbody, and it crashed when firing the rocket

or at least adding the rigidbody stopped the crash

definitely my fault as the original prefab has a rigidbody

[meager osprey]

-logLevel startup parameter allows for different log levels. Possible values range from spam (where everything is logged) to fatal (where only extreme issues are logged):

spam
verbose
debug
normal
warning
error
fatal

[empty nexus]

spam by default for me

[stark acorn]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Startup_Parameters#Debug as a side note, it is listed over here 😉

[pallid knot]

Currently automatic crash reporting inside workbench is not working correctly.
Once its fixed, a crash reporting dialog will pop up, giving you the ability to send crash reports and get them fixed by devs

[empty nexus]

gimme

your api will block me for ddos

also u fooled me into thinking the scripting is c#

[calm tulip]

whats enfusion

[unborn inlet]

the engine for reforger

[silk orbit]

But it's missing values below normal. :p

[calm tulip]

ah

[torpid relic]

did the new update break some stuff? all the reforger worlds are locked

[rapid shore]

It has broken terrain-generation for me in new projects. When i first try to generate (create) the terrain, nothing shows up, and when I save it crashes

[empty nexus]

whats new

[main mortar]

Same issue here

[torpid relic]

you can create a subscene to get around it

[main mortar]

But can't interact with object from Eden

[torpid relic]

i dont think you can do anything about that, im pretty sure thats how its meant to be but im not sure

[stark acorn]

That is done purpose - you couldn't save such worlds

And attempts to save read only worlds resulted in crash

[main mortar]

Ok thank you 🙂

[tawdry owl]

So my reforger tools had a small update today and now whenever I try to drag a prefab into the window I get this. Anyone know a fix?

[smoky sinew]

Hi everyone, Is there a manual or video on how to make a simple character/unifom re-texture and apply it ingame? For Reforger.

[stark acorn]

[smoky sinew]

Thank you !

[main latch]

hi everyone managed to open mainlighting.et in the world editior and now my GPU and editor crashes whenever i open a project any ideas for how to fix it?

[swift bough]

Hm make a backup of the rescourceDatabase.rdb and then delete it. Start WB then and see if the file gets recreated

I think this should close all current opened tabs and prefabs and not reopen them when you restart Wb

And you should be good then

[main latch]

still goes crazy and tries to load the file

ser: DESKTOP-2U8AILQ\Spra
Computer: DESKTOP-2U8AILQ
Mode: Workbench
Command line: "E:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Arma Reforger Tools\Workbench\ArmaReforgerWorkbench.exe"
Exception: Access violation. Illegal read by 0x7ff630a71977 at 0x0

from the crash reporter

[swift bough]

hm so something else must control that

maybe profile dir?

worst case remove the prefab you added and thats causing the crash

Oh you just opened it

F

[main latch]

aye

[swift bough]

I am out of ideas then sorry bud 😦

[main latch]

C:\Users\Spra\Documents\My Games\ArmaReforger\profile deleted everything in that folder and issue persists,
maybe removing the lighting file from reforger it self might work

im just kinda happy that this is the first case of arma jank i have seen with reforger 😄

[main latch]

anyhow thanks for the help

[dense vapor]

I think I'm being blind and dumb but how do I find SCR_WeatherForecastUIComponent? I can't see it in components list or create menu

for fixing this error below

SCRIPT    (E): Calling nonexistent function on class 'BaseTimeAndWeatherManagerEntity'

My reforger tools crashed yesterday when I moved the world entity outside of the default layer. I had to go in my documents and copy the contents of the bad layer back to the default.ent file

[main latch]

not sure i follow can you give a ELI5?

[marble wedge]

try running WB with -clearsettings launch param

[dense vapor]

I copied my 'world' entity outside of my default layer and that caused my reforger to crash everytime i tried to open up the project

To fix it I went into My Games\ArmaReforger\addons\MyProject\worlds and moved the contents of the layer that had the world in back into the default.ent file

You'll see loads of config stuff when you open one of the .ent files. This might not be relevant to your porblem

[main latch]

tried just deleting everything so no .ent files even exist
have even tried reinstalling the editor and game just to see if that could work

[urban gale]

Anyone having issues where the Workbench crashes with the following message? Any idea how to fix it?
The thread tried to read from or write to a virtual address for which it does not have the appropriate access.

[late forum]

honestly disappointed with enfusion

pain in the fuckin ass to use

i thought they'd make it even easier to use than eden

doesn't seem so

[final oak]

You’re comparing an engine to an in game mission editor…?

[broken bronze]

@late forum 3d Eden as you know it was a late feature to arma 3 actually! On top of this the editore was a 2D editor for the longest time aswell! Same for Zues!

[signal shore]

Is it possible to add the same component to multiple entities? I'd prefer to not have to go through 200+ rock assets adding rigid bodies because I accidentally didn't use the prefabs.

[signal ember]

@dim grove RE step by step weapon tut, ill have one out within the next week or two

[dim grove]

legend, ill keep an eye out, thanks chief

[honest verge]

I think that there should be an action Replace instance with Prefab when you right click on the entity in the Hierarchy window.

btw. use prefabs anywhere you can. it has performance, load time and memory benefit. it is not visible in tens or hundreds of entities, but it is noticeable with larger numbers. For placing rocks, you can also utilize Prefab library as it may give you some randomisation.

[empty nexus]

wheres the known issues page?

[jovial cargo]

did you ever try arma 3 tools?

[hollow rampart]

it is a process that needs user input to get the system work better. make good feedback tickets so the devs know what needs work.

[empty nexus]

how do I delete a component from a prefab

it's grayed out

I added it, now I can't remove it
