lol

[outer cloud]

I’ll be fine tuning it, stay tuned for updates!

[outer cloud]

Probably going to do a Springfield trapdoor, too

[neat helm]

no they use a 5.56 ar-15 with wood grip and stock

Listening to Route 9 from SOG prairie fire while I work

[gentle talon]

Question, what model did you use for this? Just curious because I have a model for an AR-10 also that I thought looked considerably better (No offence)

[outer cloud]

One from sketchfab

I need to fix the materials a bit

[gentle talon]

I can send you over the one I bought from CGTrader if you'd like?

[outer cloud]

Sure

If you’d like to

[gentle talon]

Ok, do you want me to DM you them?

[outer cloud]

Sure

[cobalt fiber]

Careful discussing that here, unless you bought a commercial licence you can't distribute the model.

Just a friendly heads up.

[gentle talon]

I gotchu, it didn't say that for the one I bought but thank you

[cobalt fiber]

Royalty free (a lot of the models are this licence) means you can use it as many times as you want, for your own project but not distribute the model. Unless I misunderstand the wording used.

[gentle talon]

Yeah I understand, again thank you for the heads up bro

[vagrant pewter]

you cannot re-distribute bought models

i will ask for proof of purchase if things looks 🐟 y

[outer cloud]

I've finished the animations

Now trying to fix the arsenal box for Combat OPs

[cobalt fiber]

You need to make the entity catalog which will then populate the arsenal

[outer cloud]

Yea, but which one?

I don't see one for combat OPs

[cobalt fiber]

They don't feed in? Which faction is combat ops?

[outer cloud]

I have no idea, I tried US but it only works for conflict

[cobalt fiber]

@sterile moat might be able to assist.

I am assuming you went through the examples and the wiki page overall?

[outer cloud]

That's how I made it useable, yea

[cobalt fiber]

You might have to make a custom spawnable prefab for combat ops? I am not familiar with combat ops mode sorry.

[gentle talon]

I appreciate the concern, I contacted the model creator, he said it was ok to gift it to him. He said I can’t mass re-distribute though which I completely understand

[gentle talon]

So the AR-10 doesn't like to reload...

[outer cloud]

?

Version?

[cobalt fiber]

Could be missing a magwell configuration or animation table breakdown.

[outer cloud]

It's working for me right now

[cobalt fiber]

Custom magwell or inheriting default stanag556

[outer cloud]

Custom magwell

Registered it in a script like the tutorial says

[cobalt fiber]

Make sure you are using his custom mag and not the default magazines in inventory.

[gentle talon]

Newest

[outer cloud]

Which mags are you using?

[gentle talon]

There is only one type that spawns in the box

[outer cloud]

.... Weird

[cobalt fiber]

Which is? The standard 30rnd Stanag?

[outer cloud]

M16 mags or...?

[gentle talon]

The actual AR10 mags

Sorry lol

[outer cloud]

Hmm...

[cobalt fiber]

Tried deleting and installing from scratch?

[gentle talon]

I even tried to drop it in via the inventory and through the inspection

[gentle talon]

Me?

If so yeah, I even had a couple of friends try it and it still did the same thing

Might just be something with xbox

[outer cloud]

Oh

That might be why?
I'm not completely sure

[gentle talon]

Yeahhh....I'm just a poor boy lol

[outer cloud]

I'll look into it

[gentle talon]

Alright, thx. also just my opinion, the metal is very bright

[outer cloud]

Even with the updated model?

[gentle talon]

Yeah...

I'll pop back in a gm real quick and take screen shot for you

[outer cloud]

Does it look like this in general?

[gentle talon]

Yes, the metal is just very bright. like someone polished it

[outer cloud]

Okay, I lowered the albedo color

Does that look better?

[gentle talon]

Yeah

The lookalike wood baculite furniture will look better with it being darker too

Do you only plan to make the one version of it? just curious

[outer cloud]

Yea, as soon as I get it fixed for XBOX

[gentle talon]

Fair enough lol

If I see anything else I'll make sure to let you know!

[outer cloud]

Does this mean it only works on PC or...? @cobalt fiber

[vagrant pewter]

nope

[outer cloud]

Hmm....

[gentle talon]

I took these for you

[outer cloud]

I see

[gentle talon]

For some reason the mag disappeared but that might be because of a conflicting mod

[outer cloud]

Maybe

[gentle talon]

It looks good overall though

[outer cloud]

What other mods do you have the might have a chance of conflict?

I'm going to push out a patch, let's see if it works

[gentle talon]

I downloaded that G3 DMR mod and there’s a newer MP5 mod

[outer cloud]

Ah

[gentle talon]

Those are the only two I can think of

[outer cloud]

Uploading a small change right now

One of the animation graph file values was possibly off

In the prefab, at least

Uploaded, try updating it

Works on mine, but the weapon firing animations are not working

[gentle talon]

So it’s works for me, but the reload is weird, it works fine if there is still a round in the chamber but for some reason it won’t fully reload from an empty mag

Empty mag reload I have to go into the weapon inspection and manually load it that way

[outer cloud]

Again, I've never had those issues

Nevermind, just had the issue

[gentle talon]

Ok lol, but the model now is good, that I think is solid

[outer cloud]

Added fire selection animations, testing now

Yea, it seems to be a problem with the animations

[outer cloud]

I think I've figured it out, now I need to fix the firing animation breaking when switching modes

Seems the slide closed state is turned off when I switch modes

[gentle talon]

That's really weird but then again i don't know too much with that stuff

[cobalt fiber]

Check your events on your weapon anims. Compare yours to the vanilla weapons. 9 times out of 10 that fixed my issues when I was learning.

[outer cloud]

Meaning?

[cobalt fiber]

Exactly what I said. In the animation editor. Get to your weapon mesh animation tab, not the player anims.

Inside there, double click on every green dot one by one, then check in the events tab under properties down the bottom (if on default layout). Compare your frame animation events, comparing them to the vanilla m16a2 events.

Sound, reload, slide lock, blend in etc etc.

[outer cloud]

I assigned them properly then

The problem is the animations work UNTIL you switch fire modes

[cobalt fiber]

If you are missing events, it won't know where to move to. Which could be why it works until the slidelock at the end of a mag.

Including changing fireside (safety)

If your anims are breaking from changing fire mode, you broke something. Is your graph working fully? No ! in there?

[outer cloud]

The mag is full

Left is before switch, right is after

[cobalt fiber]

Did you build a graph from scratch?

[outer cloud]

No

I used the M16 graph

[cobalt fiber]

Zoom out for me.

Am on my phone so doing this from memory

[outer cloud]

Without switching

After

There are a few warnings from the idle and sight elevation

[cobalt fiber]

Does it do it when you switch from safe to semi, or only if you go from semi to full?

[outer cloud]

It breaks if you switch it either way

[cobalt fiber]

On that note is your weapon semi auto or burst?

[outer cloud]

Semi and full auto

[cobalt fiber]

Is your burst timer etc set to state 2 or state 1?

[outer cloud]

Before switching

Full auto (need to change the label

[cobalt fiber]

Did you change state 2 to state 1 so your animation knows you have it on there? Because it could be breaking the connections when you change mode. Double click on the Burst and see what the properties are for the big condition line

[outer cloud]

There is no state one for some reason

As in nothing happens on state 1

[cobalt fiber]

Screenshot your condition line

[outer cloud]

On the controls or...?

[cobalt fiber]

On the down arrow pointing into the BurstTimer , Burst and the bottom pose

[outer cloud]

Ah

What does it look like?

[cobalt fiber]

The graph, the little arrow pointing into your BurstTimer bubble, then I think properties will bring up the condition line?

I am literally doing all of this from memory, on my phone, at work on my lunch break so I can't show you screenshots from my end.

[outer cloud]

I don't see a properites option

[cobalt fiber]

The bottom left tabs where you went to check events

[outer cloud]

Ah, that

Maybe it is stuck on state == 1?

[cobalt fiber]

You need to modify that to State == 1 and then do the same for BurstTimer, Burst, Pose for Burst, the arrows going from BurstTimer to Semi and Safe.

[outer cloud]

I see

[cobalt fiber]

Basically, anywhere in the graph that says State == 2 make State == 1 as your weapon has no State == 2 as you don't have a Burst fire mode.

[outer cloud]

Alrighty

[cobalt fiber]

My lunch break is nearly over so I have to smash down food, good luck with it.

[outer cloud]

Is that supposed to be there?

I think it is, but I want to check

[cobalt fiber]

Yep

It tells the game to check what state the weapon fire mode is set to, so the game knows how many shots it can fire.

[outer cloud]

That didn't change the problem, sadly

It's still stuck

[cobalt fiber]

All entries updated that call for State == 2 are changed?

[outer cloud]

Yep

[cobalt fiber]

Not just in that little square, there are others in other graph locations, but I can't remember off the top of my head which. Look for broken links in the graph before and after.

[outer cloud]

I'll look around

[cobalt fiber]

Sorry man, trying to help.

[outer cloud]

Don't worry

[cobalt fiber]

If you still don't get it working I will help from home after work but that is another 3 hours away.

[outer cloud]

Okay, I found it

Turns out start condition for Queue 1 was HasVariableChanged(State) while the interrupt was empty

The funny thing is I did not do that

[outer cloud]

This is it when I fixed it by the way

@gentle talon Care testing it when it finishes uploading?

There

I'll let you know when it is ready

[outer cloud]

It works, but now there's a new bug I need to iron out
The safety sticks

[cobalt fiber]

Check you have it set up to transition back from safe. The arrows between nodes are a good place to start.

[outer cloud]

Now the reload is stuck on empty

[outer cloud]

When I reload from empty, it does not allow firing

[cobalt fiber]

Missing an event somewhere in your weapon anims, trying to figure out which, your animation editor should tell you based on what links break when you reload

[gentle talon]

These are somethings I got before the newest update.

Now the mag doesn’t appear in the arsenal and the one in the gun already is invisible….
Plus toggling the safety as well as rising and lowering the gun. The left arm goes wonky

[outer cloud]

Huh

[outer cloud]

Still working on it

[outer cloud]

Testing a fix, standby

[outer cloud]

Had to borrow some animations from the M16

It should work now

Though I've been noticing what works in the workbench sometimes does not transfer over

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXPfiV8wS9Q

Still was not able to find the arsenal for Combat Ops in Arland

[cobalt fiber]

Small detail I noticed on that video, you need to tweak the bolt release animation a bit to match the player anim and then modify your rack bolt event to match when it slams forward. At the moment it's delayed as is your bolt/charging handle slamming into place (good 1/2 second delay?)

Heading out, but glad you're getting improvements, hope I was able to help.

[outer cloud]

Yea, I noticed that too

But, it is functional

[outer cloud]

Found and tweaked

[outer cloud]

How would I do a weapon bolt release animation?

[outer cloud]

Alrighty, it’s all working now

[gentle talon]

So I don't know about you but comparing the size of the AR-10 to a real one, your model is slightly oversized....

[outer cloud]

I don't really care anymore

I know it works, and I'm too afraid to change it since it will fuck a lot of things up

Besides, I've come to find that I'm better suited for ballistic mods

[cobalt fiber]

You made a ballistic mod?

[outer cloud]

Yea, M855A1

Modeled the ballistics pretty faithfully

[cobalt fiber]

As faithfully as one can make something with no armor system in the engine I suppose.

[outer cloud]

Yea

It works, and works rather well :)

Drops the enemy in a single well-aimed shot to the chest

[cobalt fiber]

Are you planning to do a ballistics overhaul of all weapons or just that?

[outer cloud]

Now that you mention it, I might as well

Revamping M855 would be a nice starting point

[outer cloud]

@cobalt fiber Going to test a small tweak in a second

So, the new M855 will be better at killing at close range now
