https://youtu.be/8In70iqQJe8

Part of a video series, first four videos are beginner oriented.

[jagged mantle]

Hi guys. About this YT playlist, more precisions :

• Each video has a good translation for its description
• I made a huge work on transcription to produce a reasonably good subtitled english translation for most important videos :

• The teaser : https://youtu.be/bwA8GJRA7EU
• Assets and datas : Enfusion resources https://youtu.be/8In70iqQJe8
• Entities and components https://youtu.be/fdl5mxOwJFo
• Prefabs (will be published on Wednesday)
  My orientation is to get everyone on board, including beginners. But, after these first videos, the learning curve will start to get steeper.
  Please let me know if there is any mistake a,d/or if you find this usefull for modding community !

[wise shadow]

Thanks for your work. If you need help for something you are free to mp me 😉

[jagged mantle]

Oh ! Thanks a lot, I won't forger it !

[hexed mortar]

thank you so much. i'm making my own mission and map and want to know how can i add new building models with destruction stages, colissions, etc. Merci beacoup, faitez l'amour pas la guerre!!

[jagged mantle]

Hi Juan. I answered in the video comments 😉

If anybody here did a tutorial about destructible assets, please let us know !

[raw geyser]

there is no official tutorial yet but you can take a look at sample new prop - it has basic configuration over there

[jagged mantle]

Guys, detailed video tutorial about creating relief based surface masks with TerreSculptor free version (fr + en subtitles)

Here's a Powershell script I wrote that adds all mods in your selected folder to the Enfusion Workbench Launcher list, so you don't need to click 'Add Existing' a dozen times
https://gist.github.com/da-ding/a93aa8333d0ab94607f88cf2f8924b03

[vital halo]

if you copy and paste them to your workbench addons directory they will load as dependencies without adding them explicitly

me thinks

[raw geyser]

you will get pop up error every time you will try to create some new folder and you are also risking that steam might remove those files at some point

[merry bison]

Just going to put this here for folks who use Blender and need help with weighting their models.

[round idol]

Will BI consider selling , as a pack or separately, a series of detailed guides to 1) arma 4 editor, 2) arma4-enfusion oriented scripting, 3) workbench and mod creation, etc, and selling these as part of different premium packages with different prices depending on the content? Video tutorials, pdfs, etc. What about physical copies including books and DVDs together with the base game and a nice case? I think these would sell like mad. It would be the perfect present to give all our friends...

[vital halo]

physical doesn't make sense but who knows

[solar plover]

Nah I'd buy it

[woven burrow]

wut why would they do that. I can see them selling a lot of dlc like a ww2 eastern front or vietnam era ect. or doing curated paid mods which would be great. but to sell guides on how to create content is the last thing I can think of them doing.

[robust pebble]

They already do, and it's even for free!
The BIKI is the official source for guides, examples and full documentation anything BI related.

Of course it's still a bit empty for Enfusion, but by the time we get closer to Arma 4 I'm sure the BIKI has been filled with a lot of stuff.

Getting a physical copy of Arma titles doesn't make really sense nowadays, can't even remember the last time I got a physical copy of a game 🤔 I guess it was Doom 2 🧓

[scarlet tiger]

i imagine physical copies would also suck if they ever change a tool's workflow

lol

[worldly mural]

Hi guys, is there somewhere the jpg or png file of the Crye g3 pants texture? I would like to use my camo texture but I don't have the source file to create the edds!
To be clear, need the version without colors of this png to overwrite with my own camo!

[swift mantle]

Has anyone wrote or made a mod for being able to hold your breath with a keybinding while shooting. its a huge fundamental of shooting and I was surprised when I found out it wasn't in the game yet

unless it is now and I just cant find the keybinding but I have looked a few times

[jolly snow]

i guess not enough buttons on consoles. could be scripted i guess, not sure if weapon sway is exposed or not to a command

[vital halo]

hopefully will be a bit less of an issue when bipods work (beyond just animation/visuals that is)

[jolly snow]

there are no proper sniper rifles planned for reforger either, so dunno, maybe it is out of the scope of this particular cross platform game

[vital halo]

we'll mod it in then whatevs

[floral quail]

Are there any resources regarding expanded buildings that could be used for terrains, I.E stuff that i could use for making a map for reforger.

[jolly snow]

please rephrase

[floral quail]

I’m looking for buildings, things like this project

https://discord.com/channels/105462288051380224/1109920488106508298.

I doubt there will be much or anything at all, but I’m looking for Western European preferably British in style buildings for the Cold War.

[jolly snow]

this isn’t the channel for it i’m afraid…In general the best thing would be to create (or get together with someone who does that for you) your own buildings for your own type of map

[floral quail]

Hmm I guess so. Oh well I’ll just have to make do with what’s there for now.

[broken lodge]

I think it could be something like “disable aim modifiers” for X seconds on leybind activation… might as well be my first scripting project 😎

[gleaming gazelle]

Is there an updated list of server admin commands? I am having a difficult time trying to perm ban someone

[severe agate]

Use @vital halo admin tools

[solar heath]

can anyone point me to a good example of a radio mod?

[severe agate]

None..

[old swallow]

Hey hopefully this is the right place to put this, I've created a bunch of videos documenting my process of importing a weapon into the game. Its not complete yet, but I've gotten far enough into it that it should help some people. Especially with animations.

Thanks!

[hushed hull]

I'm looking for a scenario example/sample. I think It was released a year ago. It was on an small island with two hills and a road cutting through them. Some task examples had you load a barrel of fuel into a truck and fixing a radio. I thought I still had it on my hard drive but I think I deleted it.

[calm linden]

It's included in the game, actually

thanks

[carmine timber]

I discovered this some time ago already. Really good resource for anyone who starts out with weapon stuff 👍

[mellow pendant]

I'm probably not one to judge, but this channel seems to have some really good tips and tricks on 3D modelling. 👀

[royal portal]

Question is there a Mod/ script or otherwise that creates reserved player slots for Admins so that server admin don't have to wait for a player slot to open up to gain access

[severe sapphire]

I'll give it a try sometime tomorrow.

Please keep me updated

If you are a New Mission Editor to Reforger, check this out: https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/287110-tutorial-how-to-setup-a-coop-mission/

[worn lagoon]

Is there any tutorial for like super basic scripting? I have loaded empty project and I would like to write script to print out "HELLO WORLD" to console and also "HELLO WORLD" on screen. I have no world loaded.

[worn lagoon]

I'm looking for something like this - https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/getting_started/step_by_step/scripting_first_script.html#hello-world. Place one entity into the engine, assign script and run it.

[severe sapphire]

How about checking the wiki?

[worn lagoon]

I did, nothing related there. There is script editor review on the UI level. Also a lot of on actual syntax.

Went thru https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Category:Arma_Reforger/Modding/Guidelines/Scripting, am I missing something?

[raw geyser]

tutorials are in tutorials section, not in guidelines https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Category:Arma_Reforger/Modding/Tutorials

[worn lagoon]

I understand, but is there any tutorial like that? I have searched whole wiki.

[raw geyser]

there is one in tutorial section

[worn lagoon]

This one https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Scripting_Example?

?

[raw geyser]

for instance

[worn lagoon]

But that doesn't run the code in game.

just in debug console

I'm looking for simple way to run empty engine "game" and write hello world in there somehow.

the most simple tutorial lesson 1 in engines docs as I shared Godot ones for example

[raw geyser]

also, if you want to display something in the viewport, then you need a layout https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Layout_Creation

[raw geyser]

console runs in game

(at least by default - you can switch it so it runs in Workbench too though)

you can create entity or code and run some code from it - thats the principle

[worn lagoon]

I tried, but when I open empty world, I can't start it. And I have not found what's minimal world to start. 🤔

Same is in Godot, you create entity, attach init script and run.

trying to mimic this

[raw geyser]

hmm, seems there is small bug now - try to press F5 to switch to play mode

make sure that your current world is saved too

[worn lagoon]

ok, I'll try, thanks

[raw geyser]

fyi: there is indeed bug with refreshing availability of play button - as a workaround, you can load some other world and then create new one - button/shortcut should be active afterwards

[worn lagoon]

@raw geyser thanks, you're right, loading other world and back the original makes play button work (F5 wasn't working on originally loaded one)

[worn lagoon]

Thanks, now I have it. Simple first steps, create world and attach script to world constructor. Create entity, put it into world and use lifecycle events or constructor.

The "Configuration to String Table (conf2st)" plugin converts internal game language .conf files into a localization.st file format. This file is created within the player's profile directory.

Hey guys i have following problem when trying to create Action by bone source : the imported bones only show up in viewport and none is added to "Action Contexts". How do i fix this ?

[vital halo]

The "Arma3 XML Stringtable Importer (xml2st)" plugin converts external Arma3 stringtable.xml files into a localization.st file format.
https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/61B29DA0E2DA5B60-xml2st

[dusky summit]

stringtable.csv2st when?

[earnest moss]

First, I thought about doing it as well, but then I discarded the plan. Because I wouldn't have thought that this could come up as an option for anyone else besides me. However, if there is demand for it, I'll check if it's feasible to implement.

[dusky summit]

Besides the coverage of OFP, ArmA and A2/AO, a simple to read calc format would help teams for creation of translation first in a tool like excel or libre office and then convert it easily in AR.

That's a neat idea, it mentions there are heightmaps but I dont see them in here, did you upload them?

They should be? They should be named the same as the folder; I'll double check though; let me get back to you

They were not; I'll commit them now (whoops, should be pushed shortly)

[slender yarrow]

what am i doing wrong

[wary pumice]

Im not sure

[severe sapphire]

The error literally tells you lol. The thumbnail must be a png.

[slender yarrow]

the thumbnail is a png

[fair osprey]

He's saying it might just be names a png but not an actual one

I'd put it in gimp or whatever and resave it as a png to make sure

[severe sapphire]

thumbnail.png is used for this, The mods image.

[stuck totem]

Hey Zelik, as you there, is your nvg framework functionnal atm ?

[severe sapphire]

When I set the Icon it shows the guid of the edds.

Not sure why yours doesn't. Seems like the thumbnail isn't a png, as per the error

Otherwise idk

But you kinda can't argue with the error because it's not wrong.

[slender yarrow]

i have run it in gimp and it is a png no mater what i am doing its still not working

[severe sapphire]

Delete the edds version

[slender yarrow]

can someone send me a png that is working so i can see if its something i am doing plz

[severe sapphire]

Delete the edds version and try again.

thumbnail.png should exist in the mod root folder. There shouldn't be a edds for it.

an*

meaning it shouldn't be registered and converted.

[slender yarrow]

it will not let me use the png only the edds

[severe sapphire]

You're tying to use a "reserved" file name

Don't use the "thumbnail" as its name

I explained above what the thumbnail is for

[slender yarrow]

were do i find this

[severe sapphire]

If you're wanting to have icons and previews for your mod, don't import them with a name that is reserved for other functionality

Or Mission

[slender yarrow]

were do i find the thumbnail bit you showed ??

[severe sapphire]

options

[slender yarrow]

that worked just need to change that

thank you

[iron relic]

Yea i've had this exact issue for the last couple days, people in reforger_workbench were having similar issues yesterday. I'm also thinking it's an arma issue, the problem is that it's not like in february where no one could upload so it's ultimately hard to say

I need help. For some reason when I downloaded "Atmospheric Weather Mod
by EO" I put it in the server the wind and maybe the lighting works not the thunder sound. But also the rain. I cant see the rain at all. If i spawn a vehicle like a helicopter then i would be able to hear the rain like hitting the helicopter. do i need to do any additional set up in enfusions properties or any help?

More this week

[dusky summit]

Mh. I'm not so much in texturing but I have a couple of questions:

• At first thanks for making a tutorial to show the texturing process for enfusions models.
• The UV unwrapping seems me to detailed. Literally every face has it's own UV island. You said that in the video too that you're not happy with that. Can you show a better one? Would be good to see a "bad" and a "good" one to show where is the difference.
• The vanilla wheel material (e.g. BRDM2_Wheel.emat) uses a resolution of 256x256 for the masks and the GMCR and a 2048x2048 GNMO with repeating normal parts. I would say this is used because of performance. BTW: Is the UV unwrapper of SB good or should we use some other tools for that?
• You perform a mesh map bake. Does SB apply after that the normal map automatically to the mesh? If so can you show that where I can find that in the layers?
• Shouldn't at least the rubber part and the rim separated in the 3d model somehow (to be it's own UV island)?
• Should the low poly model not be more details at the nuts? They looks a little bit too collapsed in my opinion. Then it would give much better results during mesh baking I would say (see for example BRDM2_wheel_Front_L.xob and then click on the first material to see the green mesh grid).
• The BRDM2_Wheel.emat uses a MatPBRMulti material with Mask Maps and VFX Masks. Will you cover the creation of these maps, too?

[green merlin]

Yeah I'll redo the uv, I should remesh the wheel to lower poly but was in a quick rush I'll jump. On discord later and show you /answer some of your questions I can if you'd like 🙂

[green merlin]

So my mod is based of the sample vehicle mod, I havent investigated The BRDM textures but glad to know 2048 is used too. For my wheel easier option is to uv unwrap with a lower quad meshes poly this can be achieved in a few tools happy to show mesh reduction if your happy with hand painting and cbf to manually uv unwrap substance can get you out of trouble quickly even with shit uvs as shown. Optimising this will make it perform nicer though as mentioned als. Baking will dump normals and layers into the default layer you can cycle thruugh these with tab key in substance or clicking the material droo down menu in painter window.

[green merlin]

Stream cut out a litle throught his one sorry.. will have to catch up and re do bits. but regardless wanted to share as there was still some good stuff to see in blender quickly. (cut out at 19 mins and continued maybe 10 mins after)

[lilac furnace]

Hello, does anyone have any guide for Vests? I want to make a rig with slots where i can put different types of pouches on. If i duplicate an already existing Vest, and replace the meshes with mine, everything works as intended.
But if i take the "Vest_Core" and add the "BaseLoadoutClothComponent" my slots dont move/animate anymore.. Sadly there is no documention on the Biki yet 🙁

[ionic otter]

Have a look at how the flashlight attachment works on vanilla vests. You can use that system to make attachment slots for your pouches or anything else you want to stick on it physically.

Its very handy and pretty quick to set up

[lilac furnace]

Yeah, Im currently a vanilla vest and assigned my pouches to the slots. That way they work as intended. But i cannot rename/delete the slots. I want to keep my structure as organized as possible.
Also, if i add new slots in that vanilla vest, and add my pouches to the new slots, they wont work either.

That is why i wanted to use the Vest_Core and build from that, and i applied all settings 1:1 - if i then add new Slots and name them like “MagPouchR” and assign my pouches, they wont move anymore.

[stuck totem]

merge physics or smthg ?

[lilac furnace]

Already tried that, but that didn’t fix it 🙁

[stuck totem]

I found out on vehicle that if you don't have vehicle collider you can't move supply position whererever you want they keep spawning a 0,0,0 ( was helping someone thrying to add a supply bed in as a slot just as vanilla truck) maybe it's is something similar

[lilac furnace]

Ill check colliders just in case, but my pouches have one - thx so far

[lilac furnace]

Could i ask you a bit more questions in #enfusion_configuration? Maybe i just look at the wrong area.

[stuck totem]

In the case I told you, model also had colliders, but it was missing a specific one apparently

Watches video tutorials on how to read and follow along with the B.I. wiki, instead of just reading along and following the B.I. wiki

[obsidian river]

*Go to lecture on how X subject to follow along X subject instead of just reading the textbook that the lecturer uses on X subject *

[tawdry hare]

also spend $120 on a textbook where only 2 chapters are gonna be used

[severe sapphire]

Jokes on you, I'm self taught.

[severe badger]

Thats fantastic, if everyone was like you there would be no need of an education system.

[obsidian river]

Well wasnt clear if you're joking or not. But i thought it was just kinda odd reaction too see from a veteran here on react like that to learning material. Yeah its the wiki, but he explains more around the subject that you dont get by just reading. For newcomers having a guiding hand helps a lot i think than just sitting by yourself. Sure works for some but id bet majority is not like that.

[gaunt grotto]

any website reccomendations for 3d models that i can use to make addons e.g. vehicles, weapons and buildings etc. (I cba making them all / have limited skill when it comes to blender)

My DM's are open so feel free to message me, any and all assistance is appreciated.

[cursive sun]

Sketchfab, cgtrader for example. Just pay attention to lisences so you are really allowed to use them in your mods

Would anyone know where would be the best place to start learning cinematic/machinima making for enfusion through reforger?

[jovial zenith]

https://youtu.be/Ir2N-RKNcQw?si=JkI_MR7urubT4u6i

I thought Arma Platform had a cinematic tutorial released recently but I couldn't find it.

Found it.

[timber idol]

Yeah that one was about 3 years ago and a lot of new stuff for cinematics has been added to the tools since then so I was hoping for maybe a more updated version to explain the different tracks and stuff but I'll take a look at the photography one that seems to be new, maybe it explains some of those, much thanks🔥

[cloud furnace]

The newer photography one is extremely helpful and helped me learn how to take photos and videos.

Hey Ive been following this tuturial on map making, everything has been going smooth until I have to upload the height map into enfusion tool, any assistance is appreciated.

What's the issue exactly? Also let's continue on #enfusion_terrain

[vivid inlet]

im unable to import my height map into world editor

once i go to look for the file in the folder I put it in, it is not visible

[sweet fog]

How would I go about making basically respawning AI for a POI with a timer or such? Is it something I'd need a custom script for?

Follow this tutorial and 2nd part. Then go to SwampFox channel and watch his videos.

Does anyone have the link to the MI8 rotor blend?

[strange lily]

https://github.com/BohemiaInteractive/Arma-Reforger-Misc/tree/main/Art/Model Examples/HelicopterRotors

[heady geyser]

Wait, the mi-8 rotor fbx is on the GitHub? Didn’t know that. That’ll save me a lot of time on my mod since I’ll no longer need to figure out how to modify the coordinates of certain bones via scripts

[heady geyser]

Oh nvm, it’s just lod3. Figures

[pulsar carbon]

Does anyone know if it's possible to collaborate on a map simultaneously using GitHub? At the same time? Haven't used it before

[potent wedge]

yes

[severe marlin]

You can share source on git like any mod making but you’ll have to be careful you dont modify same layers etc at the same time as it would cause conflict on your commits

[severe sapphire]

You claim the layers that you're going to work on in workbench. Then push, anyone after won't be able to work on those layers until they are unclaimed.

Hi! Just finished my first tutorial tonight for Arma Reforger Mod Tools/Enfusion, aimed at beginners that are not entirely familiar with the engine. It covers some absolute basics. (Hoping to do more over the coming days and add more over time if people find them helpful!)

[final raptor]

Been working on a playlist of videos for working in the reforger tools. Currently have 4 up with a couple in the works. Would love to hear what people want to know so I can try and do some videos on what people are looking for. Hope this helps at least someone!

Carrying on from my previous tutorial (and still aimed at beginners), this tutorial covers locating Arma Reforger content, entities and using the transform controls.

Here is a small video showing how to add your finished prefabs to a arsenal! - Haven't tested but i'm pretty sure it will only let you add gear for the faction to it - So if you replace a soviet headgear you can only add it to the soviet arsenal

[stuck bobcat]

Important notice regarding prefab "modding". The Arma Reforger has 3 options for this, only two being obvious to modders. When you right click a prefab you see options for Addons > Override in 'YOURPROJECT' and Addons > Duplicate to 'YOURPROJECT'.
Override means adding modifications to this prefab and all those that inherit from it. So any change you make for your specific mod will affect both the base game and all other mods. This option is highly discouraged according to BI developers and should only be used if it really is what you need to do.
The other option the duplication. This creates a plain copy of the prefab that does not affect the original or any of its derivatives. This can have the drawback of having to maintain your copy to adapt changes vanilla does.
Now for the "best" option. Create an inherited prefab. There is a context menu option called Custom > Inherit Prefab. This however is not available in a lot of folders. So if you want to make an inherited prefab for a vanilla asset, you need to go the "hidden" route:

1. Drag the prefab you want to inherit into the world scene
2. Make the changes you want to do
3. Drag the world entity from the hierarchy list (left) to resource browser (bottom)
4. Name the inherited prefab
(5. Right-click the prefab and choose Edit Prefabs(s) and validate that it inherits from the base prefab by clicking on the prefab name above the attribute section (below components))

can this get pinned please

[haughty lion]

done. 👍

@autumn bronze I have deleted your post, ripping & reverse engineering game content is prohibited.

Clauses prohibiting reverse-engineering are in both Arma 3 and Arma Reforger EULA's, think of this is a warning on that topic. 🙂

Oh I didn't know this channel existed. My videos are aimed at beginners and the current focus is going through the scenario creation process step by step. I don't have the voice of an angel like @bleak kestrel unfortunately. This initial video starts out with singleplayer, part 2 will go over co-op/mp and then going forward we will add various features and build out a full mission. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BM7stNyaNk

[candid cliff]

Followed this last night. Was a really well made tutorial👍🏼

[proud stratus]

Ya'll are doing wonders with these tutorials. Thank you so much!

[normal pasture]

I don't find a lot of documentations for reforger (specially for scripting) is DayZ or Arma3 script are quite same, in terms of workflow or it's absolutely different ?

[naive igloo]

completely different in all regards

whens part 2/2 coming, im waiting eagerly

we need part 3,4,5,6 all the way to 100 with how complex everything is

theres no way i memorize all the steps. like theres lack of consistency. sometimes you just pull a module, sometimes you have to name it, sometimes you have to refer to it in another module, its nutty

[left pecan]

@haughty lion @bleak ore Is it possible to enable threads in this category? I think that it'll help keep this section clean and allow easy access to resources while still allowing discussion for each resource (in a thread attached to the resource post). Not sure who handles permissions, just tagging you two as you were active in this category. Thanks!

I made a script that spawns equipment/items/rifles and equips them to the player. I've made sure to comment everything as extensively as possible since this was quite difficult to understand how to do.

Feel free to use this as a starting ground to make your own loadout / equipment logic!

Following up from my overview of the HunterKiller script. The feedback I recieved was positive, critical and ultimately correct. Thus, I've created my first "proper" tutorial that focuses specifically on the scripted AI spawning aspect: https://youtu.be/O4ewLYbzNIU

[steep temple]

I made a simple rocket-launcher turret with heading/elevation input UI. Try project is pretty barebones, but someone may find it useful for UI or other purposes. I'm kinda sleepy now so I plan on making some documentation in the repo later. Also not sure of what files I should put into .gitignore, so I just pushed the whole project there.

Here's the Laser Pointer Mod I've been working on.

It's made with the intention of making as easy to use as possible for weapon modders! If you have any issues, let me know please!

[unique abyss]

A few hints to make your mod better in performance.

1. Use RplProp on your "on" member, currently if the component is streamed in while being on, the laser will not work for other clients, which means there is a desync. Or you can override RplSave and RplLoad event, to be able to sync it while streamed in.
2. With RplProp you can give a callback when the value is changed, here you can set the event mask of postframe, this would reduce the tick when the laser is not on.
3. GetPlayerOwningLaser is very heavy and should not be used every frame. You could cache the result, or just get the parent of the owner which should be the player if the weapon is on the player.
